                                        2
<PAGE>   3
easements, and other items listed as title exceptions therein. Seller's failure
to promptly deliver to Purchaser the Title Commitment shall not result in the
extension of the Closing Date and Purchaser's sole remedy therefor shall be
Purchaser's right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice
thereof to Seller on or before 3:00 p.m. Phoenix, Arizona time on Monday, July
22, 1996 (such date and time being the "Approval Deadline"), and receive a
return of the Earnest Money, in which event neither party shall have any
obligation hereunder except for the Survival Obligations.

                4.1.1 Purchaser's Satisfaction. Prior to the Approval Deadline,
the following matters shall be conditions precedent to Purchaser's obligations
under this Contract:

                (a) Purchaser's being satisfied, in Purchaser's sole discretion,
         with the updated survey of the Property (the "Survey").

                (b) Purchaser's being satisfied, in Purchaser's sole discretion,
         with the Title Commitment, including the information reflected therein.

                (c) Purchaser's being satisfied, in Purchaser's sole discretion,
         with the results of its environmental investigation (the "Environmental
         Report").

                (d) Purchaser's being satisfied, in Purchaser's sole discretion,
         with the results of its structural investigation (the "Structural
         Report").

                (e) Purchaser's being satisfied, in Purchaser's sole discretion,
         with the review of the Property, pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800,
         investigating the potential for "cultural resources" located thereupon
         (the "Other Reports").

If Purchaser is not satisfied in its sole discretion as to any of the items
listed above in Sections 4.1.1(a) through 4.1.1(e) above, Purchaser may give
notice thereof to Seller before the Approval Deadline whereupon this Agreement
shall terminate, and upon such termination, Purchaser shall be entitled to the
return of the Earnest Money (subject to Purchaser's delivery of the Reports to
Seller as required by Section hereof), and neither party shall have any further
obligation hereunder except for the Survival Obligations. If Purchaser fails to
give notice to Seller before the Approval Deadline that Purchaser is not
satisfied with any of the items listed in Sections 4.1.1(a) through 4.1.1(e)
above, Purchaser shall be deemed to be satisfied with such matters and the
conditions precedent in this Section 4.1.1 shall be deemed to be satisfied.

                4.1.2  Title Commitment and Survey.

                (a) In the event (i) the Survey shows any easement,
         right-of-way, encroachment, conflict, protrusion or other matter
         affecting the Property that is unacceptable to Purchaser, or (ii) any
         exceptions appear in the Title Commitment other than the standard
         printed exceptions set forth in the standard form of Commitment for
         Title Insurance, that are unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall,
         prior to the Approval Deadline, notify Seller in writing of such facts
         and the reasons therefor ("Purchaser's Objections"). Following the
         Approval Deadline, except for Purchaser's Objections if same are timely
         raised, Purchaser shall be deemed to have


                                        3
<PAGE>   4
         accepted the form and substance of the Survey, all matters shown
         thereon, all exceptions to the Title Commitment and other items shown
         thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
         Seller shall have no obligations to take any steps or bring any action
         or proceeding or otherwise to incur any effort or expense whatsoever to
         eliminate or modify any of the Purchaser's Objections. In the event
         Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify Purchaser's
         Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, Purchaser may
         (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by
         delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller on or before 9:00 a.m.
         Phoenix, Arizona time on the Closing Date, in which event neither party
         shall have any obligations hereunder other than the Survival
         Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.1.2
         to the contrary, in the event Purchaser does not receive all items to
         be delivered to Purchaser under Section 4.1(a) and (b) in the time
         frame set forth therein, Purchaser's rights shall be to terminate this
         Agreement as set forth in Section 4.1, and such rights shall not be
         modified or extended by the terms of this Section 4.1.2.

                (b) The term "Permitted Exceptions" as used herein includes: (i)
         any easement, right of way or other matter or record, any encroachment,
         conflict, discrepancy, overlapping of improvements, protrusion, lien,
         encumbrance, restriction, condition, covenant or other matter with
         respect to the Property that an inspection of the Property would reveal
         and/or is reflected or addressed on the Survey or the Title Commitment
         to which Purchaser fails to timely object pursuant to Section 4.1.2(a)
         of this Agreement; and (ii) any Purchaser's Objection that remains
         uncured after 9:00 a.m. Phoenix, Arizona time on the Closing Date.

                4.1.3 Limitations of Seller's Obligations. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to
take any steps, bring any action or proceeding or incur any effort or expense
whatsoever to eliminate, modify or cure any objection Purchaser may have
pursuant to Section 4.1.1, Section 4.1.2 or Section 4.2.

         4.2 Inspection. Purchaser may inspect the Property at any reasonable
time during business hours at any time prior to the Approval Deadline. If either
of the Environmental Report, the Structural Report or the Other Reports (but
only those reports, and no others) reveals any fact or condition unacceptable to
Purchaser, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing prior to the Approval
Deadline of such unacceptable fact or condition and Seller shall have the right
(without any obligation to do so) to correct same by the Closing Date. If Seller
does not correct such unacceptable fact or condition by the Closing Date,
Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and neither party shall have any further
right or obligation hereunder other than the Survival Obligations. If Purchaser
does not give such notification to Seller in writing prior to the Approval
Deadline, the inspection of the Property shall be deemed satisfactory to
Purchaser and Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to assume all obligations
from and after the Closing Date with respect to the Contracts in accordance with
the terms of the Bill of Sale Assignment and Assumption Agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit C. All information provided by Seller to Purchaser or obtained
by Purchaser relating to the Property in the course of Purchaser's review,
including, without limitation, any environmental assessment or audit,
(collectively, the "Reports") shall be treated as confidential information by
Purchaser and Purchaser shall instruct all of its employees, agents,
representatives and contractors as to the


                                        4

confidentiality of all such information, other than, with respect to the
Environmental Report, information required to be disclosed to governmental
agencies. To the extent Purchaser disturbs the Property, Purchaser shall return
the Property as closely as possible to the condition in which it existed prior
to such disturbance. Purchaser shall obtain the written consent of Seller to the
scope and method of any investigation of Purchaser that materially alters the
condition of the Property or any environmental assessment or audit other than a
Phase I. The consent of Seller shall not be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser
shall be liable for all damage or injury to any person or property resulting
from, relating to or arising out of any inspection of the Property, whether
occasioned by the acts of Purchaser or any of its employees, agents,
representatives or contractors, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless
Seller and its respective agents, employees, officers, directors, affiliates,
attorneys and asset managers from any liability resulting therefrom. This
indemnification by Purchaser shall survive the Closing or the termination of
this Agreement, as applicable.

                              CLOSING
         6.1 Closing. The Closing (the "Closing") shall be held at the offices
of Quarles & Brady, One East Camelback Road, Suite 400, Phoenix, Arizona 85012,
and shall be conducted by Transnation Title Insurance Company (the "Title
Company"), 4647 North 32nd Street, Suite 135, Phoenix, Arizona 85018, Attention:
Ms. Pamela Hannappel, on Thursday, August 1, 1996 (the "Closing Date"), unless
the parties mutually agree in writing upon another place, time or date.

         6.2 Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to
Purchaser at the Closing, subject to the Permitted Exceptions.

         6.3 Proration. All income, utilities and all other operating expenses
with respect to the Property for the month in which the Closing occurs, and real
estate and personal property taxes and other assessments with respect to the
Property for the year in which the Closing occurs, shall be prorated to the date
Seller receives the Purchase Price in immediately available funds with Seller
receiving the benefits and burdens of ownership on the Closing Date.

                (a) If the Closing shall occur before income from the Property
         has actually been paid for the month in which the Closing occurs, the
         apportionment of such income shall be upon the basis of such income
         actually received by Seller. Subsequent to the Closing, if any such
         income is actually received by Purchaser, all such amounts shall first
         be applied to post-closing income due to Purchaser which is past due
         and the balance shall be immediately paid by Purchaser to Seller.
         Purchaser shall make a good faith effort and attempt to collect any
         such income not apportioned at the Closing for the benefit of Seller,
         however, Purchaser shall not be required to expend any funds or
         institute any litigation in its collection efforts.

                (b) If the Closing shall occur before the tax rate or the
         assessed valuation of the Property is fixed for the then current year,
         the apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for
         the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. Subsequent
         to the Closing, when the tax rate and the assessed valuation of the
         Property is fixed for the year in which the Closing occurs, the parties
         agree to adjust the proration of taxes and, if necessary, to refund or
         repay such sums as shall be necessary to effect such adjustment. If the
         Property is not assessed as a separate parcel for tax or assessment
         purposes, then such taxes and assessments attributable to the Property
         shall be determined by Purchaser and Seller. If, as of the Closing, the
         Property is not being treated as a separate tax parcel, then within
         thirty (30) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall, at its sole cost
         and expense, have the Property assessed separately for tax and
         assessment purposes.

                (c) If the Closing shall occur before the actual amount of
         utilities and all other operating expenses with respect to the Property
         for the month in which the Closing occurs are determined, the
         apportionment of such utilities and other operating expenses shall be
         upon the basis of an estimate by Seller of such utilities and other
         operating expenses for such month. Subsequent to the Closing, when the
         actual amount of such utilities and other operating expenses with
         respect to the Property for the month in which the Closing occurs are
         determined, the parties agree to adjust the


                                        8

      Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
provides that a transferee of a U.S. Real property interest must withhold tax if
the transferor is a foreign person. To inform the transferee that withholding of
tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by
IPEC PLANAR PHOENIX, INC., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Westech
Systems, Inc. (the "Transferor"), the undersigned hereby certifies the following
on behalf of the Transferor.

      1.    The Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership,
            foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the
            Code and treasury regulations promulgated pursuant thereto);

      2.    The Transferor's U.S. employer identification number is 86-0282167;
            and

      3.    The Transferor's office address is:

                  4717 East Hilton Avenue
                  Phoenix, Arizona 85034

      The Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the
Internal Revenue Service by the transferee and that any false statement
contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

      Under penalty or perjury I declare that I have examined this certification
and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and
I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of the
Transferor.
