shall be valid  only if set forth in an  instrument  or  instruments  in writing
signed by the party against whom  enforcement of any such extension or waiver is
sought.  No failure or delay on the part of any party  hereto in the exercise of

agreement.

      5.4   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

            This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns,  provided,  however,
that no party  hereto may assign its rights or delegate  its  obligations  under
this  Agreement  without the express  prior  written  consent of the other party
hereto.  Nothing in this  Agreement  is intended to confer upon any person not a
party  hereto  (and  their   successors  and  assigns)  any  rights,   remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

      5.5   SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

            The  representations  and warranties  contained herein shall survive

3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive  indefinitely.  All covenants and agreements
contained herein which by their terms contemplate  actions following the Closing

their terms.  All other  covenants  and  agreements  contained  herein shall not
survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate.

      5.6   HEADINGS; DEFINITIONS.

            The Section and Article  headings  contained in this  Agreement  are
inserted for  convenience  of reference  only and will not affect the meaning or

      5.7   SEVERABILITY.

            If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any
Person or circumstance is held to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the
remainder of this  Agreement  shall remain in full force and effect and shall be
reformed to render the Agreement valid and enforceable  while  reflecting to the
greatest extent permissible the intent of the parties.

      5.8   SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

            The parties hereto agree that in the event that the Company fails to
consummate  the  Transactions  in accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement,
irreparable  damage  would  occur,  no  adequate  remedy at law would  exist and
damages would be difficult to determine,  and that CEI and Touchstone  Louisiana
shall be entitled to specific  performance in such event,  without the necessity
of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other
remedy at law or in equity.
