                    Section

(including any subsequent adjustments required thereto), and to furnish the
other with

a copy of such
form prepared in draft form within a reasonable period before its filing due
date. If such allocation is disputed by any taxation or other Governmental
Authority, the Purchaser or any Seller receiving notice of such dispute will
promptly notify the other party and the parties will use their reasonable best
efforts to sustain the final allocation. The parties will share information and
cooperate in good faith to permit the Transactions to be properly, timely and
consistently reported.

Determined Cure Costs, as and when such Determined Cure Costs become due, in
respect of Assigned Contracts (other than Excluded Contracts) for which all
necessary consents and/or Bankruptcy Court approval to transfer have been
obtained; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein (including any limitation on the time period for identifying Contracts
that will constitute Excluded Contracts pursuant to Section 5.01(a)), if the
Determined Cure Costs for any Assigned Contract exceeds the amount reflected as
due and owing as of the Petition Date on Sellers’ books and records, the
Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may elect to make such Assigned Contract an Excluded
Contract. 

                    Section

2.12(b) shall survive the Closing; provided, that, with respect to
any Consent Pending Contract, Purchaser shall compensate the Sellers for
Liabilities for the continuation of such Consent Pending Contracts during the
Contract Retention Period up to and including the date which is ten (10) days
following Sellers’ receipt of written notice from Purchaser authorizing

Purchaser authorizing rejection of the same, it being understood and agreed
that Sellers’ obligation to assume and assign any Consent Pending Contract
shall be conditioned upon Purchaser’s payment of such amounts and that
Purchaser’s covenant to pay such amounts shall survive the Closing until the
termination of the Contract Retention Period unless otherwise authorized by
Purchaser by written notice to Sellers to be rejected. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, on the date any Contract or Excluded
Incentive Asset is assumed and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to this Section
2.12(b), such Contract shall be deemed an Assigned Contract and deemed
scheduled on Section 3.12(a) under the appropriate heading for all
purposes under this Agreement. Sellers shall have the right at any time
following the expiration of the Contract Retention Period to reject any Consent
Pending Contracts pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

such rights and such Liens are not enforceable (before or after consummation of
the Transactions) due to operation of the Bankruptcy Code and except, in the
case of clauses (b) and (c), for any such conflict, violation, breach or
default that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

extent as are in any of the Sellers’ possession, the Sellers have delivered to
the Purchaser true and complete copies of the leases and subleases in effect at
the date hereof (including all amendments thereto and assignments in respect
thereof) relating to the Leased Real Property, and there has not been any
sublease or assignment entered into by any of the Sellers in respect of the
leases and subleases relating to the Leased Real Property. To Sellers’
Knowledge, each lease and sublease in respect of the Leased Real Property is a
valid lease or sublease and Sellers have received no written notice of default
except as disclosed in Section 3.09(b) of the Sellers’ Disclosure
Schedule. To Sellers’ Knowledge, the security deposit required pursuant to each
lease and sublease in respect of the Leased Real Property has not been drawn
upon by the relevant landlord or sublandlord, as applicable, and no additional
monies are required to bring the security deposits into compliance with respect
to each such lease or sublease, as applicable. No Seller has received notice of
any pending condemnation proceeding or any threatened condemnation that would
preclude or impair the use of any Leased Real Property by the Business for the

3.10(c) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, to the Sellers’ Knowledge,
nothing has occurred with respect to the operation of any such plan which could
reasonably be expected to result in the revocation of such favorable
determination. 

                    (d)
Except by reason of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code or as set
forth in Section 3.10(d) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, each

accordance with its terms and applicable Law. 

                    (e)

Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) result in any
payment becoming due to any employee of Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries;

result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such

threatened, and, to the Sellers’ Knowledge, there exists no event, occurrence,
condition or act (including the purchase of the Purchased Assets hereunder)

applications for the renewal of any such Permit and License that are due prior
to the Closing Date will be timely made or filed by the applicable Seller prior
to the Closing Date. To Sellers’ Knowledge, no proceeding to modify, suspend,
revoke, withdraw, terminate or otherwise limit any such Permit and License is

no valid basis for any such proceeding.

5.01(d), at any time and from time to time before the Closing Date (or in
the case of any lease pursuant to which the Leased Real Property is leased by a
Seller, at any time and from time to time on or before 90 days after the
Closing Date (the period of time from the Closing Date until the earlier of (i)
the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date and (ii) the date that
Purchaser, by written notice to LGI, elects to exclude such lease from the
Transactions, the “Lease Retention Period”)), the Purchaser may, by
written 

38

 notice to LGI, elect to exclude from the Transactions and
the Assigned Contracts List (i) any one or more of the Contracts that would
otherwise be Purchased Assets (including any lease pursuant to which the Leased
Real Property is leased by a Seller) and (ii) any or more of the Permits and
Licenses. Any Contract or Permit and License designated in such a notice
pursuant to the preceding sentence or designated as an Excluded Contract
pursuant to the second sentence of Section 5.01(d) (each such designated
Contract or Permit and License, an “Excluded Contract”, and all such
designated Contracts and Permits and Licenses collectively, the “Excluded
Contracts”) shall no longer be an Assigned Contract or a Permit and License
to be assigned to the Purchaser hereunder. There shall be no adjustment to the
Purchase Price as a result of the Purchaser’s election to exclude any one or
more of the Contracts or Permits and Licenses from the Transactions pursuant to
this Section 5.01(a) except that the Purchaser shall not be required to
make any payments for Determined Cure Costs or any other amounts for any such
Excluded Contracts, provided that, with respect to any lease pursuant to
which the Leased Real Property is leased by a Seller that would otherwise be a
Purchased Asset and that Purchaser has not elected to exclude prior to the
Closing, such lease shall be treated as a Consent Pending Contract under
Section 2.12(b) and Purchaser shall compensate the Sellers with respect thereto
in accordance with such Section except that the Contract Retention Period shall
be deemed to be the Lease Retention Period for these purposes. 

                    (b)
At the time of Closing, and subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court
pursuant to the Sale Order or such other Order of the Bankruptcy Court and/or
the consent of the applicable counterparties to the extent necessary to effect
the assignment in any case, the Sellers shall assume (to the extent required)
and then assign to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall assume from the
Sellers all the Assigned Contracts. 

                    (c)
Subject to the terms of Section 2.04 and Section 5.01(a), the
Purchaser shall make provision for the payment of the Determined Cure Costs in
accordance with the Sale Order. The Sellers shall use their reasonable efforts,
including the filing and prosecution of any and all appropriate proceedings in
the Bankruptcy Court, to establish the Determined Cure Costs, if any, for each
Assigned Contract, in accordance with the Sellers’ books and records as of the
Petition Date and to obtain the Required Consents. 

                    (d)
The Sellers shall have delivered to the Purchaser true and complete copies of
the material Assigned Contracts and Permits and Licenses (including all
amendments thereto and assignments thereof) or otherwise provide Purchaser with
access to such true and complete copies of such material Assigned Contracts and
Permits and Licenses on or before the fifth Business Day following the
execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to
the contrary, the Purchaser shall not be required to purchase, acquire or
assume any material Assigned Contract or Permit and License (or any Liabilities
thereunder) a true and complete copy of which has not been made available by
the Sellers to Purchaser in accordance with the preceding sentence, and the
Purchaser, subject to the parenthetical in the second sentence of Section
5.01(a), may by written notice to LGI no later than one day prior to the
Closing, elect to make such Assigned Contract or License and Permit an Excluded
Contract. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, from
and after the date hereof through the Closing Date, the Sellers will not reject
or take any action (or fail to take any action that would result in rejection
by operation of law) to reject, repudiate or disclaim any Contract without the
prior written consent of the Purchaser.

Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties and books and
records of the Sellers (to the extent relating to the Business, the Purchased

site assessments; and (b) furnish to the respective authorized Representatives
of the Purchaser and its Affiliates and potential financing sources such
additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the
Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (or copies thereof)
as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however,
that any such access or furnishing of information shall be (i) conditioned upon
the party receiving such access or information entering into a confidentiality
agreement with the Sellers containing terms reasonably acceptable to the
Sellers and (ii) conducted during normal business hours, under the supervision
of the applicable Seller’s personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere
with the normal operations of the Business. 

                    Section
5.04 Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents. The
Purchaser and the Sellers shall each use their commercially reasonable efforts
to promptly obtain all waivers, authorizations, notices to proceed, consents,
orders and approvals of all

applications and petitions with, and give all required notices to, the
applicable Governmental Authorities and other Persons that may be or become
necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its
obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and will
cooperate fully with the other parties in promptly seeking to obtain all such
waivers, authorizations, consents, orders, notices to proceed and approvals.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto shall
make, or cause to be made, all filings required (if any) of each of them or any
of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates under the HSR Act with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable and, in any
event, within 10 days after the date hereof, and the parties hereto shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any requests for additional
information made by any Governmental Authority to which any such filing was
made, to cause any applicable waiting periods to terminate or expire at the
earliest possible date and to resist vigorously, at their respective cost and
expense, any assertion that the transactions contemplated herein constitute a
violation of the HSR Act, all to the end of expediting consummation of the
Transactions. 

                    Section
5.05 Permits and Licenses. Commencing on the date of this Agreement, the
parties, cooperating in good faith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to take such steps, including the filing of any required applications with

transferred, as the case may be, by the Sellers in compliance with, and within
the time required under, Environmental Laws. 

                    Section
5.07 Intellectual Property. 

                    (a)
No later than twenty (20) Business Days following the Closing, each Seller
shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, file amendments with the
appropriate Governmental Authorities changing its corporate name, “doing
business as” name, trade name, and any other similar corporate identifier
(each, a “Corporate Name”) to a Corporate Name that does not contain any
of the Purchased Trademarks comprising the Transferred Intellectual Property. 

                    (b)
The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign to the
Purchaser those Contracts concerning Purchased Licensed Intellectual Property
that require third party consents and shall assign to the Purchaser all other
Contracts concerning Purchased Licensed Intellectual Property, or otherwise
shall obtain for the Purchaser and its Affiliates the right to use Purchased
Licensed Intellectual Property, such that, beginning on the Closing Date, 

43

 the Purchaser and its Affiliates will have valid and
enforceable rights to use all Purchased Licensed Intellectual Property as it
was used by or for the benefit of the Business (including all configurations
and customizations thereof) prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing Date,
the Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all third
party consents necessary to assign such agreements or to obtain such rights and
the Purchaser shall cooperate with the Sellers in good faith to assist the
Sellers in obtaining such consents. 

                    (c)
On or before the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser all
records and information in the Sellers’ possession or under the Sellers’

                    Section
5.08 Further Action. Each party hereto shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do
or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable
Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be
required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make
effective the Transactions, including using its commercially reasonable efforts
to defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or
administrative, whether brought derivatively or on behalf of third parties
(including any Governmental Authority), challenging this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each of the Sellers shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to (x) to cause the Excluded Incentive Assets
to be transferred and assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and any requisite
Consent for such transfer and assignment to be obtained, and (y) to cause its
accountants, attorneys, advisors, employees and other Representatives to
cooperate with the Purchaser in order to consummate and make effective the
Transactions, and (ii) Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to satisfy any conditions to consummation of the financing transaction
contemplated by the Credit Agreement. In case at any time after the Closing
Date any further action is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of
this Agreement, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall take all such necessary
action, including, without limitation, each Seller using its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Excluded Incentive Assets to be transferred and
assigned to Purchaser after the Closing if any requisite Consent for such
transfer and assignment is not obtained prior to the Closing.. 

                    Section
5.09 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. 

                    (a)
The parties hereto will provide the other parties (at no charge) with such
cooperation and information as may be reasonably requested in preparing or
finalizing any financial statements or accounting records or filing any Tax
Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining any liability for
Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes or participating in or conducting any
audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets
or the Business. Such cooperation and information shall include providing
reasonable access to accounting systems and records and providing copies of
relevant Tax 

44

Returns or
portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules and related work papers
and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by taxing
authorities. Each of the parties will make themselves (and their respective
employees and Representatives) reasonably available, on a mutually convenient
basis, to provide explanations of any documents or information provided under
this Section 5.09(a) and to provide reasonable assistance with the
preparation or finalization of any financial statements or accounting records
and shall enter into a reasonable transition agreement which allows Sellers to
utilize certain agreed-upon employees of Purchaser for this purpose in consideration
of a reasonable fee to be paid through Sellers’ bankrupt estate. Each of the
parties will retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all material
records or other documents in its possession (or in the possession of its
Affiliates) relating to Tax matters relevant to the Purchased Assets or the
Business for the taxable period first ending after the Closing and for all
prior taxable periods (the “Tax Documents”) until the expiration of the
statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and
other documents relate, without regard to extensions. After such time or at any
other time when the parties want to dispose the Tax Documents, before any of
the parties shall dispose of any such documents in its possession (or in the
possession of its Affiliates), the other party shall be given the opportunity,
after 90 days’ prior written notice, to remove and retain all or any part of
such documents as such other party may select (at such other party’s expense).
In the event that a Seller is liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a going
concern prior to the expiration of the period described in the second preceding
sentence and such Seller’s Tax Documents are not retained by any such Seller’s
Affiliate, such Seller shall offer the Purchaser the opportunity described in
the preceding sentence (with 90 days’ prior written notice or such shorter
period of notice as may be practicable) to remove and retain Tax Documents (at
Purchaser’s expense) and such Seller may then dispose of any such documents not
removed by the Purchaser. If it is not practical to give the other party the
right to retain Tax Documents, the other party may instead be given a
reasonable opportunity to make copies, at its own expense of such Tax
Documents. Any information obtained under this Section 5.09(a) shall be
kept confidential, except as may be otherwise required in connection with the
filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other
proceeding. 

                    (b)
The Sellers shall not take any actions (including, but not limited to, filing
any Tax Return or amended Tax Return, responding to any audit or inquiry by a
taxing authority, or settling or compromising any controversy with a taxing
authority) that could materially affect the Tax Liability of the Purchaser
without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that this Section 5.09(b)
shall not apply to income Taxes or Tax Returns in respect thereof. 

                    Section
5.10 Conveyance Taxes. In the event that any Conveyance Taxes (as may be
reduced or eliminated pursuant to Section 1146(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or
the Sale Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court) are assessed on the transfer of
the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall pay such Conveyance
Taxes. The Sellers shall complete and file all returns associated therewith. 

                    Section
5.11 Nondisclosure. For the period from the date hereof (a) in the case
of the Purchaser, until Closing and (b) in the case of each Seller,
indefinitely, no such Person shall disclose to the public or to any third party
any material non-public information concerning or relating to the other parties
hereto, other than with the express prior written consent of such 

45

other parties,
except as may be required by applicable Law or the Bankruptcy Court, in which
event the contents of any proposed disclosure shall be discussed with such
other parties before release; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any party
hereto may disclose such information (a) to any of its stockholders, members,
Affiliates, agents, Representatives and existing and potential financing
sources who need to know such information for the sole purpose of evaluating,
negotiating or implementing the Transactions, (b) where such disclosure is
required under any applicable Law, or (c) in the case of Sellers, to (A) the
DIP Lenders, (B) the statutory committee of unsecured creditors appointed by
the Bankruptcy Court in respect of the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Creditors’
Committee”), or (C) the Term Loan Lenders or (D) the Representatives of
the DIP Lenders, the Creditors’ Committee or the Term Loan Lenders. For the
avoidance of doubt, as of the Closing, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed
Liabilities (and any material non-public information with respect thereto)
shall be deemed the confidential information of the Purchaser, and the Sellers
shall maintain the confidentiality thereof in accordance with the terms of this
Section 5.11. 

                    Section
5.12 Documents at Closing. Subject to the terms hereof, each party
hereto agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date those documents
identified in Section 2.09 and 2.10 to which it is a party. 

                    Section
5.13 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. 

                    (a)
As an inducement for the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and in
consideration for the consideration to be paid under this Agreement to the
Sellers, each Seller agrees that from and after the Closing until the date that
is the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date, within the United States
of America or anywhere else in the world, none of the Sellers will, directly or
indirectly, engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control or
participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of,
be associated with, or in any manner connected with, lend, or otherwise advance
credit to, or render services or advice to any business that manufactures,
designs, distributes, sources, markets, sells or provides products or services
similar to the products or services manufactured, designed, distributed,
sourced, marketed, sold or provided by the Business currently or as of the
Closing Date or directly or indirectly solicit the business of any Person known
to any Seller to be a customer of the Purchaser or the Business or induce or
attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or business relation of the
Purchaser or the Business to cease doing business with the Purchaser or the
Business. 

                    (b)
For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing: (a) no Seller will,
directly or indirectly, (i) hire any employee of the Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates, provided that a Seller may hire any person who contacts such Seller
on his or her own initiative without any direct or indirect solicitation by or
encouragement from such Seller, or (ii) in any way interfere with the
relationship between the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and any employees
thereof. 

                    Section
5.14 Parties’ Access to Records After Closing. Each Seller acknowledges
that all customer lists, records and other information pertaining to any
Seller, the Business or its customers that are included in the Purchased Assets
are proprietary, confidential information and that on and after the Closing,
all such lists, records and information shall be the property of the Purchaser.
Each of the parties hereto agrees to preserve until December 31, 

46

2010, or the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for documents necessary to
prepare Tax returns, all records in its possession relating to any of the
Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities or the Business for all time periods
hereof ended on or prior to the Closing Date or relating to the transactions
contemplated herein. In the event that any party hereto needs and requests
access to such records in the possession of any other party hereto relating to
any of the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Business or the
Transactions for the purpose of (i) preparing income Tax returns, (ii) for
complying with any audit request, subpoena or other investigative demand by any
Governmental Authority, (iii) for any civil litigation, (iv) the
administration, resolution and wind-down of the Bankruptcy Cases, and (v) any
other legitimate purpose not injurious to such other party, such other party
will allow such requesting party and its authorized Representatives and agents
reasonable access to such records and to that party’s employees and
Representatives at no charge during normal business hours at such other party’s
place of business for the sole purpose of obtaining information for use as
aforesaid and will permit such requesting party to make extracts and copies
thereof as may be necessary or convenient and, if required for such purpose, to
have access to and copies of original documents (at such requesting party’s
expense). 

                    Section
5.15 Notification of Certain Matters. Except with respect to the actions
required by this Agreement, LGI shall give prompt notice to the Purchaser, and
the Purchaser shall give prompt notice to LGI, of (i) the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would
cause any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement to be untrue
or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing Date and (ii)
any material failure of any Seller, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the
other hand, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant,
condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this
Agreement; provided, however, the delivery of any notice pursuant
to this Section 5.15 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies
available to the party receiving such notice under this Agreement. 

                    Section
5.16 Customers and Suppliers. The Sellers shall, promptly following the
request thereof by the Purchaser, seek and use its reasonable best efforts to
arrange such meetings and telephone conferences with all material customers and
suppliers of the Sellers as may be necessary and appropriate for the Purchaser
to conduct a comprehensive review of the Sellers’ relations with its customers
and suppliers. 

                    Section
5.17 COBRA Matters. If within two (2) days prior to the Closing Date the
Purchaser provides written notice to LGI that Purchaser elects for Sellers to
provide the notification described below in this Section 5.17 (such written
notice by Purchaser to LGI, the “COBRA Notice Election”), Sellers shall
prior to the Closing Date provide notification of the right to receive
continued health benefit coverage under Sellers’ health benefit plans pursuant
to Section 4980B of the Tax Code to all qualified beneficiaries (as defined in
Section 4980B(g)(1)(D) of the Tax Code) who have lost coverage under Sellers’
health benefit plans as a result of the “qualifying event” defined in Tax Code
Section 4980B(f)(3)(F), which qualified beneficiaries are listed on Section
8.02(m) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, and shall provide evidence of
the foregoing to Purchaser in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to
Purchaser.

ARTICLE VI EMPLOYEE MATTERS

                    Section
6.01 Employment.

                    (a)
Transferred Employees. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver, in
writing, an offer of employment to each of the employees who remain employed
immediately prior to the Closing by any of the Sellers or their Subsidiaries to
commence immediately following the Closing; provided that any offer of
employment shall be contingent on the Closing actually occurring. Each such
offer of employment shall be at the same salary or hourly wage rate and
position in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Such individuals who
accept such offer by the Closing Date are hereinafter referred to as the “Transferred
Employees.” 

                    (b)
Standard Procedure. Pursuant to the “Standard Procedure” provided
in Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, (i) Purchaser and Sellers shall
report on a predecessor/successor basis as set forth therein, (ii) Sellers will
not be relieved from filing a Form W-2 with respect to any Transferred Employees,
and (iii) Purchaser will undertake to file (or cause to be filed) a Form W-2
for each such Transferred Employee with respect to the portion of the year
during which such Transferred Employees are employed by Purchaser that includes
the Closing Date, excluding the portion of such year that such Transferred
Employees were employed by Sellers or their Subsidiaries. 

                    Section
6.02 Employee Benefits. 

                    (a)
Benefits. Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided for a period
of one (1) year following the Closing Date or such longer period of time
required by applicable Law to each of the Transferred Employees, compensation
(including salary, wages and opportunities for commissions, overtime and
premium pay) and employee benefits that are, in the aggregate substantially
equivalent to those provided to the Transferred Employees immediately prior to
the Closing; provided that Purchaser shall not have any
obligation to provide equity-based benefits, defined benefit pension benefits
(qualified or non-qualified), retiree medical or life insurance benefits,
incentive or bonus plans or arrangements or issue, or adopt any plans or
arrangements providing for the issuance of, shares of capital stock, warrants,
options or other rights in respect of any shares of capital stock of any entity
or any securities convertible or exchangeable into such shares pursuant to any
such plans or arrangements; provided, further, that no plans or
arrangements of Sellers providing for such benefits or issuances shall be taken
into account in determining whether employee benefits are substantially
equivalent in the aggregate. 

                    (b)
Past Service Credit. For purposes of eligibility, vesting and for
calculating of severance and vacation benefits (but not for benefit accrual
purposes generally) under the employee benefit plans of Purchaser providing
benefits to Transferred Employees (other than any equity-based plans or
nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements) (the “Purchaser
Plans”), Purchaser shall credit each Transferred Employee with his or her
years of service with Sellers, their Subsidiaries and any predecessor entities,
to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled immediately prior
to the Closing to credit for such service under any similar Employee Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
crediting of service that would result in a duplication of benefits. 

48

                    (c)
Medical and LTD. Purchaser shall provide Transferred Employees with
uninterrupted benefits coverage as of the Closing Date with respect to group
medical benefits and long term disability insurance. The Purchaser Plans which
are health benefit plans shall not deny Transferred Employees coverage on the
basis of pre-existing conditions in the plan year in which the Closing occurs
to the extent the pre-existing condition exclusions were waived or satisfied
under an analogous Employee Plan as of the Closing Date and shall credit, to the
extent commercially practicable, such Transferred Employees for any deductibles
and out-of-pocket expenses paid in the calendar year of initial participation
in the Purchaser Plans in the plan year in which the Closing occurs. 

                    (d)
Accrued Wages and Vacation. Except as required by applicable Law,
Purchaser shall be responsible for all Liabilities with respect to Transferred
Employees attributable to their (i) accrued and unpaid salary or wages as of
the Closing Date, and (ii) accrued and unused vacation, sick days and personal
days through the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall continue the Sellers’
vacation policy in effect as of the date hereof from the Closing Date to the
end of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs. 

                    (e)
Severance. Each Transferred Employee whose employment terminates prior
to the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be entitled to receive
severance benefits, if any, upon the same terms and in the same amount as would
be payable under the applicable Employee Plan set forth in Section 6.02(e)
of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. 

                    (f)
Retention Bonus. Purchaser shall provide retention bonuses to each of
the key employees and in the aggregate amounts set forth in and disclosed to
the Purchaser in Section 6.02(f) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule.
The retention bonus for any such employee shall be paid in two equal
installments: one-half payable six (6) months following the Closing Date and
the remaining half payable on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, in
each case only if the employee has not terminated his or her employment
relationship with the Purchaser prior to such payment date (other than by
reason of without cause or for good reason (as such terms are defined in the
Sellers’ severance plan). 

                    (g)
IBNR Liabilities. The Purchaser will assume an obligation to pay,to one or more segregated bank accounts to
be notified in writing by Sellers to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date, any
unpaid claims that were incurred under Sellers’ self-insured medical, dental,
and prescription drug benefit plans prior to the Closing Date and are payable
under the terms of such plans and reported to Sellers or Sellers’ benefits
administration representatives on or before the 60th day following the Closing
Date (such claims, the “IBNR Liabilities”, and such period, the “IBNR
Claims Period”), it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that the
Purchaser is not assuming the sponsorship of or any Liabilities under Sellers’
medical, dental and prescription drug benefit plans and that Sellers will
further retain responsibility for administering the payment of all claims under
such plans. Sellers shall promptly take all commercially reasonable actions to
(i) amend their medical, dental and prescription drug plans to require that all
claims incurred thereunder must be submitted to Sellers or their benefits
administration representatives for payment within sixty (60) days following the
Closing Date to be eligible for payment, and (ii) communicate such amendments
to all plan participants and beneficiaries and Sellers’ benefits administration
representatives. Sellers shall promptly provide Purchaser with (i) copies of
such plan amendments and the general form of communications to participants and
beneficiaries, 

49

together with
information regarding the date and manner of communication, and (ii) reasonably
detailed claims information as such information becomes available during the
IBNR Claims Period so that Purchaser has an opportunity to review such
information.

                    (h)
Nothing contained in this Section 6.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement
shall be construed to prevent the termination of employment of any individual
Transferred Employee or any change in the employee benefits available to any
individual Transferred Employee. Nothing contained in this Article VI
or any other provision of this Agreement, (i) shall be construed to establish,
amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or
arrangement, (ii) shall limit the ability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates
to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program,
agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or
maintained by any of them, or (iii) create any third-party beneficiary rights
or obligations in any Person (including any Transferred Employee) other than
the parties to this Agreement or any right to employment or continued
employment or to a particular term or condition of employment with Purchaser or
any of its Affiliates.

ARTICLE VII BANKRUPTCY COURT MATTERS

                    Section
7.01 Bankruptcy Court Filings. Purchaser agrees that it will promptly
take such actions as are reasonably requested by Sellers to assist in obtaining
entry of the Sale Order and a finding of adequate assurance of future
performance by Purchaser, including furnishing affidavits or other documents or
information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for the purposes, among
others, of providing necessary assurances of performance by Purchaser under
this Agreement and demonstrating that Purchaser is a “good faith” purchaser
under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code. Purchaser shall not, without the
prior written consent of Sellers, file, join in, or otherwise support in any
manner whatsoever any motion or other pleading relating to the sale of the
Purchased Assets hereunder. In the event the entry of the Sale Order shall be
appealed, Sellers and Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable efforts
to defend such appeal.

ARTICLE VIII CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

                    Section
8.01 Conditions to Obligations of the Sellers. The obligations of the
Sellers to consummate the Transactions shall be subject to the satisfaction at
or prior to the Closing Date of each of the following conditions, any one or
more of which may be waived (but only in writing) by LGI (provided that no such

or covenant made in this Agreement):

                    (a)
Representations, Warranties and Covenants. (i) All of the
representations and warranties made by the Purchaser in this Agreement and in

such date); provided, however, that in the event of a breach of a
representation or warranty, other than a representation or warranty qualified
by a 

50

be deemed satisfied unless the effect of all such breaches of representations
and warranties taken together result in a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) the
Purchaser shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all
agreements and covenants required by this Agreement to be performed by the
Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) with respect to clauses

Representations, Warranties and Covenants. (i) All of the
representations and warranties made by the Sellers in this Agreement and in the
Ancillary Agreements shall be true and correct in all material respects (other

its Affiliates to divest or hold separate any assets or businesses.

                    (d)
Sale Order. The Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Sale Order in

authorized the Purchaser to file such termination statements, lien releases,

11.03 Public Announcements. Prior to the Closing, neither the Purchaser,
on the one hand, nor any of the Sellers, on the other hand, shall make, or
cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this
Agreement or the Transactions, or otherwise communicate with any news media
without the prior written consent of LGI or the Purchaser, respectively, except
(i) as otherwise required by Law, (ii) applicable stock exchange regulation,
(iii) in filings in the Bankruptcy Court or office of the United States
trustee, or (iv) for any press release or other public announcement that is
issued with respect to the Transaction when this Agreement is executed and at
Closing, and the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate as to the timing and
contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication. After
the Closing, the parties may issue public announcements regarding the Transaction
so long as such announcements, in the case of announcements made by any Seller,
do not disclose the specific terms or conditions of this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement except where such terms and conditions have already been
disclosed as required by Law, applicable stock exchange regulation or in
filings that the Sellers were required to make in the Bankruptcy Court or
office of the United States trustee.

                    Section
11.04 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy,
all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in
full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the
Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party
hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the
Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent
possible.

                    Section
11.05 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto)
and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all
prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Sellers and
the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

                    Section
11.06 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
(including any trustee, receiver, receiver-manager, interim receiver or monitor
or similar officer appointed in respect of the Sellers in the Chapter 11 Cases)
and permitted assigns, but shall not be assignable or delegable by the Sellers
or Purchaser without the prior written consent of the other party and by Order
of the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) prior to the
Closing, 

56

Purchaser
shall have the right to assign its rights and/or delegate its obligations
hereunder to any Affiliate that is directly or indirectly wholly owned by
Purchaser and (ii) after the Closing, Purchaser (or its permitted assignee)
shall have the right to assign its rights and/or delegate its obligations
hereunder (A) to any Affiliates, (B) to any financing sources for collateral
purposes or (C) to any subsequent purchaser of all or substantially all of the
stock or assets of Purchaser or the Business; provided, however, that in each
case Purchaser shall remain liable for the obligations of any assignee to whom
Purchaser assign its rights and/or obligations pursuant to this Section 11.06
except in the case of Section 11.06(ii)(C) where the subsequent
purchaser shall assume any such rights and/or obligations.

                    Section
11.07 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or
representative of the respective parties to this Agreement, in such capacity,
shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Purchaser or
Sellers, as applicable, under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

                    Section
11.08 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except
(a) (i) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, LGI and the
Purchaser or (ii) by a waiver in accordance with Section 11.09; and, (b)
to the extent such amendment or modification is material, by an Order of the
Bankruptcy Court.

                    Section
11.09 Waiver. Any Seller, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the
other hand, may: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the
obligations or other acts of the other; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document
delivered by the other pursuant hereto; or (c) waive compliance with any of the
agreements or obligations of the other contained herein. Any such extension or
waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by
the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the
same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this
Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights
hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

                    Section
11.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is
intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right,
benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment
for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

                    Section
11.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York and, to the extent
applicable, the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto agree that the Bankruptcy
Court shall be the exclusive forum for enforcement of this Agreement or the
Transactions and (only for the limited purpose of such enforcement) submit to
the jurisdiction thereof; provided that if the Bankruptcy Court determines that
it does not have subject matter jurisdiction over any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, then each party: (a) agrees that
all such actions or proceedings shall be heard and determined in a New York
federal court sitting in The City of New York; (b) irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of such court in any such action or 

57

proceeding;
(c) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts
and waives any objection that such party may now or hereafter have to the venue
or jurisdiction or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court; and (d) agrees that service of process in any such action
or proceeding may be effected by providing a copy thereof by any of the methods
of delivery permitted by Section 11.02 to such party at its address as
provided in Section 11.02 (provided that nothing herein shall affect the
right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Law).

                    Section
11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF,
UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY
OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER
PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.12.

                    Section
11.13 Currency. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all
references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean
United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in United
States dollars.

                    Section
11.14 Construction. The parties hereto and their respective legal
counsel participated in the preparation of this Agreement, and therefore, this
Agreement shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any of the parties
hereto, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

                    Section
11.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered
(including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.
