                                   THE CLOSING

         3.1 PLACE AND DATE. The closing of the sale and purchase of the
Transferred Assets (the "Closing") and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities
shall take place at 10:00 a.m. local time, not later than (i) the second
business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions referred to
in Articles 11 and 12 or (ii) the seventh business day after the Sale Order is
obtained, whichever is later, at such place upon which the parties may agree.
The day on which the Closing actually occurs is sometimes referred to herein as
the "Closing Date." Notwithstanding the actual time of Closing on the Closing
Date, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred as of 12:01 a.m., local time,
on the day of the Closing.

         3.2 PURCHASE PRICE. On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, at Closing, Buyer shall pay or deliver the following
amounts to Seller:

            (a) The sum of U.S. $500,000 (the "Purchase Price") by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller;
and

            (b) A promissory note in the principal amount of $1,700,000
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B ("Note") as well as a
mortgage agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C

position security interest in all owned real property of Buyer at Closing.

         3.3 ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE.

            (a) The parties shall allocate the aggregate consideration received
by Seller with respect to the Transferred Assets, in accordance with Section
1060 of the Tax Code, as mutually agreed to by the parties pursuant to the
procedure described below. Subject to the requirements of any applicable Tax law
or election, all such mutually agreed-to allocations shall be used by each party
in preparing any filings required pursuant to Section 1060 of the Tax Code or
any similar provisions of state or local law and all relevant Income Tax
Returns. Neither Buyer nor Seller will take any position before any taxing
authority or in any judicial proceeding with respect to Income Taxes that is
inconsistent with such mutually agreed-to allocations without the prior written
consent of the other party, in the consenting party's commercially reasonable
discretion. The parties shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to
support such mutually agreed-to reported allocations in any audit proceedings
initiated by any taxing authority; provided, however, that Seller shall not have
any obligation to pay for an appraisal or in any other way incur unreasonable or
extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses.

            (b) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will provide to
Seller copies of IRS Form 8594 and any required exhibits thereto with Buyer's
proposed allocation of the consideration received by Seller with respect to the
Transferred Assets for Seller's approval, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If Seller fails to respond to Buyer within 30 days of

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
Seller receiving such IRS Form 8594, then Seller shall be deemed to have
approved Buyer's allocation.

         3.4 DELIVERIES. At the Closing, (a) Buyer shall deliver to or as
directed by Seller the Purchase Price, the Note and the agreements, instruments
of assumption, certificates and other documents required to be delivered by
Buyer pursuant to Article 12 and (b) Seller shall deliver to Buyer the
agreements, instruments of transfer, certificates and other documents required
to be delivered by Seller pursuant to Article 11.

         3.5 CONSENTS OF THIRD PARTIES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or
transfer any Consent from a Governmental Authority, instrument, contract
(including the Assumed Contracts), lease, or other agreement or arrangement or
any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, to the
extent that such assignment or transfer or an attempt to make such an assignment
or transfer cannot be made pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code
without the consent or approval of a third party. In the event any such consent
or approval is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall
cooperate with Buyer in any lawful arrangement to provide that Buyer shall
receive the benefits under any such Consent, instrument, contract, lease or
other agreement or arrangement, provided that Buyer shall undertake to pay,
perform, discharge or satisfy the corresponding liabilities and obligations for
the enjoyment of such benefit to the extent Buyer would have been responsible
therefor if such consent or approval had been obtained.

                                    ARTICLE 4

                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

         Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered to Buyer
contemporaneously herewith (the "Disclosure Schedule"), of which the Schedules
referred to below are a part, and in the documents and other materials
identified in the Disclosure Schedule (it being agreed that any matter disclosed
in the Disclosure Schedule with respect to any section of this Agreement shall
be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to all other sections of this
Agreement), and subject to the limitations contained in Section 14.1, as of the
date of this Agreement, Seller makes to Buyer the following representations and
warranties.

         4.1 ORGANIZATION, STANDING, ETC. OF SELLER. Binnings and AAPC are
corporations duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction where they are organized and have all requisite corporate power and
authority to carry on the Businesses as currently conducted and to own or lease
and to operate the properties of the Businesses. Binnings and AAPC are in good
standing and are qualified to do business in each state of the United States in
which the Businesses are conducted that requires such qualification and where
the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Businesses. For the purposes of the Transaction Documents, a "Material Adverse
Effect on the Businesses" means any material adverse change in, or material
adverse effect on, the assets, liabilities, business or operations of the
Transferred Assets or the Businesses taken as a whole. Seller is currently a
debtor-in-possession in the Bankruptcy Case pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, and
retains full authority

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
and power to operate its business and affairs pursuant to Sections 1107 and 1108
of the Bankruptcy Code, with no trustee, examiner, facilitator or other officer
or agent with similar authority or powers to a trustee, examiner or facilitator
having been appointed in such Bankruptcy Case.

         4.2 CORPORATE AUTHORIZATION. Subject to approval by the Bankruptcy
Court, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all other
documents executed or to be executed pursuant to this Agreement by Seller, and
the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller. Subject to approval by the
Bankruptcy Court, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by a duly
authorized officer of Seller.

         4.3 ENFORCEABILITY. Subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, this
Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Seller,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

         4.4 GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATIONS AND CONSENTS. No consents, licenses,
approvals or authorizations of, or registrations or declarations with, any
Governmental Authority are required to be obtained or made by Seller in
connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, other than (a) bankruptcy court approval, and
(b) other consents, licenses, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
declarations, where the failure to obtain such would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on the Businesses.

         4.5 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Seller has delivered to Buyer the following
certified and audited financial statements and balance sheets, each as of and
for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2000 (AAPC consolidated) and the
qualified opinion for the seven months ending July 31, 2001 (the "Financial
Statements Date"): (a) income statement of the Businesses and (b) balance sheet
for the Businesses (such statements hereinafter being referred to as the
"Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with past practice and the accounting records and policies of Seller
and reasonably present in all material respects the Transferred Assets and the
Assumed Liabilities of the Businesses as of the dates thereof.

         4.6 ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES OR EVENTS. Since the Financial
Statements Date, Seller has conducted its operations related to the Businesses
in the ordinary course of business except: (i) as set forth on Schedule 4.6,
(ii) the filing of the Bankruptcy Case and any actions taken in connection
therewith, and (iii) activities related to the Contemplated Transactions. Since
the Financial Statement Date, there has been no material adverse change in the
results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the Businesses which
would result in the failure to satisfy a closing condition of Buyer pursuant to
Article 11 of this Agreement

         4.7 TITLE TO TRANSFERRED ASSETS. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7,
and except for real and personal property subject to leases, Seller has good,
transferable and marketable title to or other valid ownership rights in the
Transferred Assets. This Section 4.7 does not apply to the Transferred
Intellectual Property.

<PAGE>
         4.8 TRANSFERRED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

            (a) Seller owns, or is licensed or otherwise possesses the right to
use, all the Transferred Intellectual Property, and the Transferred Intellectual
Property, is all the intellectual property necessary to conduct the Businesses

            (b) Schedule 2.1(c) includes a list of patents, registered
copyrights, registered trademarks, registered trade names and registered service
marks, and any pending applications therefor, included in the Transferred
Intellectual Property.

            (c) To Seller's Knowledge, no claims with respect to the Transferred
Intellectual Property have been asserted and are pending as of the date of this
Agreement (i) to the effect that the sale, licensing or use of any of the
products of the Businesses infringes any other party's valid copyright,
trademark, service mark, trade secret or other intellectual property right, (ii)
against the use by Seller of any trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade
secrets, copyrights, patents, technology, know-how or computer software programs
or applications used in the Businesses as currently conducted, or (iii)
challenging the ownership or use by Seller of any of the Transferred
Intellectual Property that Seller purports to own or use, nor, to Seller's
Knowledge, is there a valid basis for such a claim described in this Section
4.8(c).

         4.9 ASSUMED CONTRACTS. Schedule 4.9 includes a list of all Assumed
Contracts of the Businesses. Seller has made available to Buyer a copy or

            (a) All customer contracts and open purchase orders of the

            (b) All pending bids for customer contracts with a reasonably
expected value in excess of $35,000 per annum;

            (c) All contracts for the employment of any Person by Seller

contracts specific to the Businesses and relating to any borrowing of, or
issuance of letters of credit for, an amount in excess of $50,000 by Seller;

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
            (h) All leases of real or personal property involving payments of
more than $50,000 per annum to be assumed by Buyer; and

            (i) All agreements materially limiting the freedom of Seller to

area.

         4.10 LICENSES AND PERMITS. Schedule 4.10 includes a list of all
permits, licenses and other authorizations from Governmental Authorities
necessary for the conduct of the Businesses as currently conducted. Seller has
all licenses, permits and other authorizations from Governmental Authorities
necessary for the conduct of the Businesses as conducted by Seller prior to the
date hereof (collectively "Permits"), except where the failure to have such
Permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
on the Businesses. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.10, (a) each of said
Permits is in full force and effect, (b) the Businesses are in compliance with
the terms, provisions and conditions thereof, except where the failure to be so
in compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect on the Businesses, (c) to Seller's Knowledge, there are no outstanding
violations, notices of noncompliance, judgments, consent decrees, orders or
judicial or administrative actions, investigations or proceedings adversely
affecting any of said Permits, and (d) to Seller's Knowledge, no condition
exists and no event has occurred which (whether with or without notice, lapse of
time or the occurrence of any other event) would permit the suspension or
revocation of any material Permits other than by expiration of the term set
forth therein. Seller makes no representation or warranty with respect to the
transferability of the Permits to Buyer.

         4.11 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.11,
the conduct of the Businesses complies in all material respects with all
Environmental Laws, except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Businesses.
"Environmental Laws" shall mean all applicable U.S. and foreign federal, state
and local laws, ordinances and regulations pertaining to air and water quality,
Hazardous Materials, waste, disposal or other environmental matters, including
the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,

Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, and the rules, regulations and ordinances of
the cities and other jurisdictions in which the Businesses are located, the
Environmental Protection Agency and all other applicable Governmental
Authorities. Buyer shall not have any liability for violations of, or in
connection with, the Environmental Laws with respect to the owned or leased real
property transferred pursuant to this Agreement, relating to events occurring
prior to the Closing Date.

         4.12 BENEFIT PLANS.

            (a) Schedule 4.12 lists and identifies (i) each employee pension
benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA (a "Pension Plan"); (ii) each
employee welfare benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA (a "Welfare
Plan"); and (iii) each compensation and employment arrangement, including, but
not limited to, any fringe benefit, incentive compensation, stock option, stock
purchase, bonus, severance, deferred compensation, and supplemental executive
compensation plan or employment agreement (a "Benefit Arrangement"), that is
maintained by Seller for Employees of the Businesses (collectively, the

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
"Benefit Plans"). Copies of all Benefit Plans have been provided or made
available to Buyer, including, but not limited to (i) each Pension Plan and any
related trust agreement (including all amendments to such Pension Plan and
trust) and its most recent summary plan description, the most recent
determination letter issued by the IRS, and (ii) each Welfare Plan and Benefit
Arrangement and any related insurance contracts or other funding arrangement,
administrative services agreement and summary plan description and the most
recent annual report on Form 5500 required to be filed with the IRS in respect
of any Pension Plan, Welfare Plan and Benefit Arrangement. Except for the 2000
and 2001 contributions to the Pension Plans which by law may not yet required to
be made, all contributions have been made to the Pension Plans. Except as
disclosed on Schedule 4.16, Seller does not maintain or contribute to any
Welfare Plan that provides benefits to employees after termination of employment
other than as required by Part 6 of Substitute B of Title I of ERISA.

            (b) Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.12, neither Seller nor any
ERISA Affiliate is obligated to contribute to any multiemployer plan, as defined
in Section 3(37) of ERISA, nor has been obligated to contribute to any
multiemployer plan, at any time during the most recent five years. As used
herein, the term "ERISA Affiliate" shall mean any corporation, partnership or
other entity which is a member of the same controlled group (within the meaning
of Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA). With respect to any such multiemployer plan,
Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or is reasonably likely to incur,
any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA, nor is any such plan in
reorganization.

            (c) No Pension Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA. No liability
under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be
incurred by Seller or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any "single-employer
plan," within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly
maintained by Seller or any ERISA Affiliate. All contributions required to be
made by any ERISA Affiliate to any employee benefit plan subject to Section 412
of the Tax Code or Section 302 of ERISA have been timely made. No employee
benefit plan subject to Section 412 of the Tax Code sponsored, maintained or
contributed to by any ERISA Affiliate has an "accumulated funding deficiency"
(whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Tax Code or
Section 302 of ERISA and no ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver.

            (d) To Seller's Knowledge, each Pension Plan which is intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Tax Code as currently in effect has been
determined by the IRS to be so qualified and each trust related to any such
Pension Plan has been determined to be exempt from federal income tax under
Section 501(a) of the Tax Code. To Seller's Knowledge, there have been no
prohibited transactions (as described in Section 406 or Section 4975 of the Tax
Code) with respect to any Pension Plan. No litigation or administrative or other
proceedings involving the Benefit Plans has occurred which would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Businesses.

            (e) To Seller's Knowledge, each Benefit Plan has been administered
in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law except where the failure to be
so administered would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Businesses.

         4.13 BROKERS. With the exception of fees and expenses payable to
Conway, Del Genio, Gries & Co., LLC, which shall be paid by AAPC, all
negotiations relating to this Agreement, and the Contemplated Transactions, have
been carried on without the participation of any Person acting on behalf of
Seller or its Affiliates in such manner as to give rise to any valid claim
against Buyer for any brokerage or finder's commission, fee or similar
compensation, or for any bonus payable to any officer, director, employee, agent
or sales representative of or consultant to Seller or its Affiliates upon
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

         4.14 TAXES. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14, with respect to
Taxes:

            (a) Seller has properly completed and filed or caused to be filed or
shall properly complete and file or cause to be filed, within the time
prescribed by law, including extensions, all Tax Returns with respect to the
Transferred Assets that are or were required to be filed under federal, state,
local or any foreign laws on or prior to the Closing Date, except where the
failure to file such Tax Returns would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Businesses.

            (b) Seller has, within the time and in the manner prescribed by law,
paid or caused to be paid (and until the Closing will, within the time and in
the manner prescribed by law, pay or cause to be paid) all Taxes that are shown
to be due and payable on Tax Returns filed prior to the Closing, except where
the failure to pay such Taxes would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Businesses. The Businesses have paid or, in the case of taxes not due or being
contested in good faith, have made adequate provisions for the payment of all
taxes for which the Businesses are or may reasonably become liable for payment.

            (c) Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against
any and all claims relating to the Businesses sales and use tax obligation,
which Seller specifically retains and Buyer does not assume.

         7.1      CONDUCT OF BUSINESS.

            (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 7.1 or as may be otherwise
expressly permitted by this Agreement or with the prior written consent of
Buyer, and subject to any order of the Bankruptcy Court which shall take

            (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.1(a), and
except as may be otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or approved by
the Bankruptcy Court or with the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, from the date hereof through

                        (i) enter into any material transaction in connection
            with the Businesses outside the ordinary course of business;

                        (ii) conduct the Businesses in a manner that departs
            materially from the manner in which the Businesses were being
            conducted prior to the date of this Agreement;

                        (iii) sell, lease, transfer, mortgage or assign any of

            material right or claim (or series of related rights and claims)
            under Material Contracts, outside the ordinary course of business;

            compensation, commission, bonus or other direct or indirect
            remuneration payable, or agree to pay, conditionally or otherwise,
            any material bonus, incentive, retention or other compensation,

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
            or in respect of any Employee of the Businesses, other than the
            increases and payments in the ordinary course of business consistent
            with past practice in the compensation payable to Employees of the
            Businesses and any Retention Arrangements; and

                        (vi) agree to do any of the foregoing.

            (c) In the event that Seller wishes to engage in any act which falls
within the provisions of Section 7.1(b), Seller shall provide notice thereof to
Buyer who shall advise Seller within three business days of any objection Buyer
has with respect to such action. In the event that Buyer fails to object within
such period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any objection to such act.

         7.2      USE OF BUSINESS NAMES BY BUYER.

            (a) Buyer acknowledges that Seller has asserted the absolute and
exclusive proprietary right to all names, marks, trade names, trademarks,
service names and service marks (collectively, "Names") incorporating "American
Architectural Products Corporation" or "AAPC" or any similar Name and to all
corporate symbols or logos (collectively, "Logos") incorporating "American
Architectural Products Corporation" or "AAPC" or any similar Name. All rights of
Seller and its Affiliates to the same and the goodwill represented thereby and
pertaining thereto are being retained by Seller or its Affiliates. Buyer agrees
that it will not, and will cause the Businesses not to, use the American
Architectural Products Corporation or AAPC Name or any similar Name or any Logo
incorporating such Name or any similar Name in any manner, including in
connection with the sale of any products or services or otherwise in the conduct
of the Businesses, except as expressly permitted by subsection (b) of this
Section 7.2.

            (b) For a period of six months from the Closing Date (the "Window

Closing Date, on a fully-paid, royalty-free basis, to Buyer, the non-exclusive
right to use the American Architectural Products Corporation and AAPC Logos and
the American Architectural Products Corporation and AAPC Names in connection
with the operation of the Businesses as currently conducted including, during
the Window Period, to (i) market and sell all such services and products
produced by the Businesses and (ii) use any other assets on hand included in the
Transferred Assets, including, without limitation, any catalogs, invoices,
packaging material or stationery, bearing the American Architectural Products
Corporation and AAPC Names or American Architectural Products Corporation and
AAPC Logos (provided, however, that Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cease its use of the American Architectural Products Corporation and
AAPC Names and the American Architectural Products Corporation and AAPC Logos
within the Window Period). Immediately upon the expiration of the Window Period,
Buyer shall cease to use in any manner the American Architectural Products
Corporation and AAPC Names and the American Architectural Products Corporation
and AAPC Logos incorporating such Names and remove or obliterate such Names and
the American Architectural Products Corporation and AAPC Logos from any products
or other Assets and clearly and prominently mark the new name of the Businesses
thereon. Except as set forth in this Article 7.2, at all times following the
Closing, Buyer shall not indicate that Buyer or the Businesses are affiliated
with Seller or any of its Affiliates.

            (c) Immediately following the Closing Date, Seller shall take the
commercially reasonable efforts necessary to modify the formal corporate or
trade names, as the case may be, of BPA, TMWD, TMAP and Fortified in all
jurisdictions where those names are registered and shall make such names
available for Buyer's use.

         7.3 ACCESS. Subject to reasonable notice and as permitted by law,
Seller shall afford to Buyer and its accountants, counsel and other agents and
representatives full access during normal business hours throughout the period
prior to the Closing Date to all of the properties, books, contracts,
commitments and records of the Businesses and, during such period, Seller shall
furnish promptly to Buyer and its representatives in relation to the Businesses
access to all other information concerning the business, properties and
personnel of the Businesses as Buyer may reasonably request. Seller shall
promptly upon request provide Buyer access to a true, complete and correct copy
of each written agreement or other instrument, together with all amendments or
clarifications thereto, and a true, complete and correct summary of the terms
and conditions of each oral agreement, identified in the Disclosure Schedule. If
access is restricted due to a term in the agreement or by Applicable Law, Seller
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure consent from the other
party(ies) to the agreement to provide such access prior to Closing with
sufficient time for Buyer review. Buyer will treat the documents and other
material and information referred to in this Section 7.3 as confidential in
compliance with Section 9.10.

statement without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not

obligations pursuant to Applicable Law (including Seller's and Buyer's
requirement to issue a press release promptly after the execution of this
Agreement, Seller's obligation to file a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, and disclosures required in connection with the Bankruptcy
Case), provided that the party proposing to issue any press release or similar
public announcement or communication in compliance with any such disclosure

with the other party before doing so. In addition, Seller may inform its
employees of the Contemplated Transactions, and Seller may continue to

of doubt, excluding any Income Taxes) ("Transfer Taxes") arising out of or in
connection with or attributable to the Contemplated Transactions. Each party
hereto shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in
respect of Transfer Taxes that are the primary responsibility of such party
under Applicable Law, provided, however, that such party's preparation of any
such Tax Returns shall be subject to the other party's approval which approval

            (b) The Transferred Assets are composed of (i) assets as to which
the "isolated, casual or occasional sale" exemption or similar exemption from
Transfer Taxes is or may be applicable and (ii) other assets as to which other
exemptions from Transfer Taxes are or may be applicable. In order to obtain any
exemption or favorable tax rate, Buyer shall, to the extent consistent with
Applicable Law, provide Seller with any exemption or resale certificate, permit,
license or such other documentation as may be required by any taxing authority
to establish the right to such exemption or tax rate.

         9.7 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Subject to the confidentiality provisions
hereof, Seller shall have the right to retain copies of the Books and Records.

with such assistance and documents, without charge and in a timely fashion, as
may be reasonably requested by either of them in connection with (i) the
preparation of any Tax Return, (ii) the conduct of any procedure relating to
Taxes, or (iii) any other matter that is the subject of this Agreement. Such
assistance shall include, without limitation: (i) the provision on demand of
books, records, Tax Returns, documentation or other information relating to any
relevant Tax Return ("Tax Data"); (ii) the execution of any document that may be
necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with the filing of any Tax Return,
or in connection with any procedure relating to Taxes, including, without
limitation, the execution of powers of attorney and extensions of applicable
statutes of limitations; and (iii) the use of reasonable efforts to obtain any
documentation from any Governmental Authority or other Person that may be
necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with the foregoing. Such
cooperation shall include, without limitation, making their respective employees
and independent auditors reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis for
all reasonable purposes, including, without limitation, to provide explanations
and background information and to permit the copying of books, records,
schedules, workpapers, notices, revenue agent reports, settlement or closing
agreements and other documents containing the Tax Data ("Tax Documentation"). If
a third party is retained in connection with any review hereunder, the party
retaining such third party shall be responsible for any fees and expenses for
such third party.

            (b) Seller and Buyer shall retain or cause to be retained the Tax
Data, the Tax Documentation, all Tax Returns, schedules and workpapers, and all
material records or other documents relating thereto, until one year after the
expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (including any waivers or
extension thereof) with respect to the Taxable periods to which such Tax Returns
and other documents relate or until the expiration of any additional period that
either Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, may reasonably request in writing
with respect to specifically designated material records or documents; provided,
however, that in the event an audit, examination, investigation or other
proceeding has been instituted prior to the expiration date of an applicable
statute of limitations, the Tax Data and Tax Documentation relating thereto
shall be retained until there is a final determination thereof (and the time for
any appeal has expired). After the expiration of the time when the Tax Data and
the Tax Documentation must be retained pursuant to this Section 9.8, then any
such material may be destroyed. Seller shall give Buyer not less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice before Tax Data or Tax Documentation in the
possession or control of any member of the consolidated group of which AAPC is
the common parent is destroyed and shall give Buyer an opportunity to copy any
such material during such thirty (30) day period. Buyer shall give Seller not
less than

                                      -20-

thirty (30) days prior written notice before any Tax Data or Tax Documentation
in the possession or control of Buyer or any Transferred Subsidiary is destroyed
and shall give Seller an opportunity to copy any such material during such
thirty (30) day period.

         9.9 TAX ELECTIONS. No material new elections with respect to Taxes, or
any material changes in current elections with respect to Taxes, affecting the

this Agreement without the prior written consent of both Seller and Buyer.

         9.10 CONFIDENTIALITY.

                  (a) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date,
Buyer and Seller will maintain in confidence, and will cause their respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors to maintain in
confidence, and not use to the detriment of another party any written, oral, or
other information obtained in confidence from another party in connection with
this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, unless (i) such information is
already known to such party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality
or such information becomes publicly available through no fault of such party,
(ii) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any
filing or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the
Contemplated Transactions (including, without limitation, Bankruptcy Court
approval of any of the Contemplated Transactions), or (iii) the furnishing or
use of such information is required by legal proceedings, provided, however,
that the party required to disclose the confidential information shall first
notify the other party of such order and afford the other party the opportunity
to seek a protective order relating to such disclosure. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be under any restrictions with respect
to disclosures to the Unsecured Creditors Committee, CIT Group/Business Credit,
Inc. or the Bankruptcy Court in the Bankruptcy Case.

            (b) If the Contemplated Transactions are not consummated, each party
will immediately return or destroy all such confidential information and any and
all copies thereof, however stored, and, if requested by the other party, shall
certify conformity with this Section 9.10(b) in writing.

<PAGE>
            (a) by Buyer or Seller, if the Closing has not occurred on or before
January 31, 2002 (the "Outside Date"), unless such failure to close is due to
the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to comply fully
with its obligations under this Agreement;

            (b) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller, subject to any
necessary Bankruptcy Court approval; or

            (c) (i) by Buyer, if any of the conditions in Article 11 has not

as of the Outside Date (other than through the failure of Buyer to comply with
Buyer's obligations under this Agreement), and Buyer has not waived such
conditions on or before the Outside Date; or

                (ii) by Seller, if any of the conditions in Article 12 has not
            been satisfied or if satisfaction of any such condition is or
            becomes impossible as of the Outside Date (other than through the
            failure of Seller to comply with Seller's obligations under this
            Agreement), and Seller has not waived such conditions on or before
            the Outside Date; or

            (d) automatically, if the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an
order approving a Competing Bid and the Contemplated Transactions by the
Competing Bid are subsequently consummated;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any termination by Seller shall be
made only upon consultation and approval of the Committee.

         13.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Upon the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 13.1, Buyer shall promptly cause to be returned to Seller
all documents and information obtained in connection with this Agreement and the
Contemplated Transactions and all documents and information obtained in
connection with Buyer's investigation of the Businesses, including any copies
made by or supplied to Buyer or any of Buyer's agents of any such documents or
information.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         14.1 EXPIRATION OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. The
representations and warranties set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of this Agreement
shall terminate and expire, and shall cease to be of any force or effect, on the
Closing Date (except that Buyer's representation and warranty contained in
Section 5.7 shall survive the Closing; all liability of the parties hereto with
respect to such representations, warranties and covenants shall thereupon be
extinguished; and BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY TO
MAKE WHATEVER INVESTIGATION MAY BE NECESSARY AND

                                      -26-
<PAGE>
ADVISABLE FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO ENTER INTO AND CLOSE THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. For the avoidance of doubt, the
covenants provided for in Sections 9.4 and 9.10 and the provisions of Articles
14 and 15 shall continue without expiration or limit, the covenants provided for
in Sections 9.6 and 9.8 shall continue until the first anniversary of the
statute of limitations with respect to the statutes governing the applicable
Taxes and the covenant provided for in Section 9.7 shall continue until the
sixth anniversary of the Closing; provided however, that nothing in this
sentence shall prevent Seller and/or any of its Affiliates from consummating a
complete liquidation.

         14.2 MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT. Any adverse change, event or effect that
is proximately caused by conditions affecting the United States or international
economy generally shall not be taken into account in determining whether there
has been or would be a Material Adverse Effect on the Businesses or a Material
Adverse Effect on Buyer (unless such conditions adversely affect Seller or
Buyer, as the case may be, in a materially disproportionate manner). Any adverse
change, event or effect that is proximately caused by any industry in which
Buyer or Seller competes shall not be taken into account in determining whether
there has been or would be a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer or Material
Adverse Effect on the Businesses (unless such conditions adversely affect Seller
or Buyer, as the case may be, in a materially disproportionate manner). Any
adverse change, event or effect that is proximately caused by the marketing,
announcement or pendency of the sale of the Businesses and the Transferred
Assets shall not be taken into account in determining whether there has been or
would be a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer or a Material Adverse Effect on the
Businesses.

         14.3 DISCLAIMER OF PROJECTIONS, ETC. Seller makes no representation or
warranty to Buyer except as specifically made in this Agreement. In particular,
Seller makes no representation or warranty to Buyer with respect to the contents
of the Seller's descriptive materials and management presentations to Buyer or
the data room made available to Buyer, including the certainty or accuracy of
any financial projection or forecast delivered by or on behalf of Seller to
Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that (a) there are uncertainties inherent in
attempting to make such projections and forecasts, (b) it is familiar with such
uncertainties, (c) it is taking full responsibility for making its own
evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all such projections and forecasts so
furnished to it, and (d) it shall have no claim against Seller with respect
thereto.

Seller fails to respond to Buyer within 30 days of Seller receiving such IRS
Form 8594, then Seller shall be deemed to have approved Buyer's allocation.

equity affecting the right to specific enforceability of any of the remedies
contained herein and therein. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the

         obtained prior to Closing;

                  (2) Violate any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of
         any court, administrative agency, or governmental body applicable to

         obligation of AGI to be accelerated or increased.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and compliance by AGI with the
provisions of this Agreement will not:

                  (1) Conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of
         the organizational documents of AGI or result in a default or give rise
         to any right of termination, cancellation, or acceleration under any of
         the provisions of any note, lien, bond, mortgage, indenture, license,
         lease, agreement, or other instrument or obligation to which AGI is a
         party or by which AGI , any of the Purchased Assets, or AGI's business
         may be bound, except for such conflict, breach or default as to which
         valid waivers or consents shall be obtained prior to Closing;

                  (2) Violate any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree

         (C) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.02(C) and subject to the approval
of the Bankruptcy Court, all filings, consents, and approvals of third parties
and governmental authorities required in connection with the execution and

business. No product manufactured, sold, leased, or delivered by AGI since

for AGI (containing applicable guaranty and warranty provisions).

         SECTION 4.13. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AGI's income statement for the
period ended November 30, 2001 and balance sheet dated as of November 30, 2001

operations of AGI for the periods described therein in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

         SECTION 4.14. TAXES. Within the times and in the manner prescribed by
law, Seller has filed all federal, state and local tax returns and reports
required by law to have been filed by them relating to AGI, the Purchased Assets
and the Purchased Business, and have paid all taxes, assessments, and penalties
due and payable by them. There are no federal, state or local tax liens (other
than a lien for property taxes not delinquent) against any of the Purchased
Assets, nor are there any overdue federal, state or local taxes with respect to
the Purchased Business or any of the Purchased Assets. At the Closing, all taxes
and other assessments and levies that AGI is required by law to withhold or
collect, will have been duly withheld and collected, and if due, will be paid
over to or deposited with the proper governmental authorities. Seller is not
presently under nor has it received any notice of, any contemplated
investigation or audit by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local
government or governmental agency concerning Seller's taxes relating to AGI.

         SECTION 4.15. LITIGATION. Neither Seller nor any employee or officer of
either Seller is a party to any pending or, to the best of Seller's knowledge,
threatened litigation or administrative investigation or proceeding that would
materially or adversely affect the Purchased Assets or the Purchased Business,
nor does Seller know of any basis therefor. No complaints or charges of unlawful
conduct have been made against either Seller, any employees or officers of
either Seller, that relate in any way to the Purchased Assets or the Purchased
Business.

         SECTION 4.16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Except as described in Schedule

                                                                              12
<PAGE>
practices, formal or informal, covering any of the employees employed in the
Purchased Business, or under which either Seller has any present or future
obligation or liability or under which any current or former employee of AGI has
any present or future rights to benefits ("Employee Plans"). With respect to
each Employee Plan that is an employee pension benefit plan, as defined in
Section 3.2 of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), that is intended to be qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a)
of the Code ("Pension Plan"), a copy of the latest available summary plan
description, determination letter, and Form 5500 for the most recent plan year
have been made available to Buyer. Each Pension Plan has been determined by the
Internal Revenue Service to be qualified. Each Employee Plan has been operated
and administered in accordance with the requirements of ERISA and the Code. No
Employee Plan or any trustee or administrator thereof has engaged in a
"prohibited transaction" (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or in Section 4975
of the Code) that would subject AGI, any Employee Plan, any trust created
thereunder, any trustee or administrator thereof, or any party dealing with any
Employee Plan to the liability set forth in Section 409(a) of ERISA or to the
tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code. Neither Seller is or has ever been a party to a
Multi-Employer Plan and has no current or due "withdrawal liability" with
respect to any such Multi-Employer Plan. Buyer is not assuming any liability of
either Seller to any of AGI's employees or by reason of any Employee Plans.
Neither Seller is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or other labor
union or similar agreement relating to the employees of AGI, and neither Seller
is the subject of or, to the best of Seller's knowledge, threatened by any
strike or other labor disturbance by any group of employees, and to the best of
Seller's knowledge, no attempt or plan to organize AGI's employees is threatened
or contemplated. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16, there are no claims, nor,
to the best of Seller's knowledge, has any event occurred that could be the
basis for any claim under workmen's compensation, occupational safety and
health, discrimination, ERISA or similar laws and regulations relating to the
employees of AGI.

         SECTION 4.17. ABSENCE OF UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. To the best of
Seller's knowledge, there are no liabilities of AGI that have not been disclosed
in the Financial Statements or this Agreement or the schedules attached hereto
that could materially and adversely affect the Purchased Assets or the Purchased
Business. To the best of Seller's knowledge, there is no basis for the assertion
against AGI of any liability of any nature or in any amount that is not fully
reflected or reserved against in the Financial Statements.

         SECTION 4.18. FRANCHISES, PERMITS AND LICENSES. Schedule 4.18 contains
a complete and correct list or summary description of all material franchises,
permits, licenses, approvals and other authorizations from federal, state and
local governmental authorities held by AGI in connection with the conduct of the
Purchased Business as presently conducted or the Purchased Assets.

         SECTION 4.19. LEGAL COMPLIANCE. To the best of Seller's knowledge, AGI
has complied in all material respects with all applicable laws (including rules,
regulations, codes, plans, injunctions, orders, decrees, rulings, and charges
thereunder) of federal, state, local, and foreign governments (and all agencies
thereof), and Seller has not

                                                                              13

been notified of any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge,
complaint, claim or demand against either Seller alleging any failure so to
comply.

without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the restrictions in the
previous two sentences, a party may make such disclosures as are required by
relevant state and or federal law (including any requirement to issue a press
release promptly after the execution of this Agreement, obligation to file a
Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and disclosures
required in connection with the Bankruptcy Case); provided, however, that the
party proposing to issue any such announcement shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to consult in good faith with the other party before doing so. In
addition, Seller may inform its employees of the transaction contemplated
herein, and Seller may continue to communicate with persons potentially
interested in acquiring all or part of the Businesses to the extent required by
the Bankruptcy Code.

         SECTION 10.04. CHECKS AND DRAFTS. Seller shall honor (whether presented
before, on, or after the Closing, but in any event subject to the Bankruptcy
Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court) all checks and drafts drawn by it prior
to the Closing Date to pay trade payables and other liabilities of AGI in
conducting the Purchased Business.

         SECTION 10.05. COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. Arch Ohio shall promptly
forward to Seller any funds submitted to it that should have been paid or are
otherwise due to AGI per the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, Arch Ohio
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist AGI with collecting accounts
receivable retained by AGI pursuant to Section 1.02(B) of this Agreement. Arch
Ohio and AGI shall apply any

                                                                              20

payments received subsequent to Closing to the invoice specified by the payee
or, if application of the payment is unspecified, Arch Ohio or AGI, as the case
may be, shall promptly advise the other of this issue so that they may jointly
contact the payee to determine the proper application of the payment and make
the appropriate disbursement.

         SECTION 10.06. RETENTION OF EMPLOYEES. Immediately prior to execution
of this Agreement, Arch Ohio will provide to AGI the names of those employees of
AGI to whom Arch Ohio intends to offer employment as of the Closing Date. Said
offer of employment shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as
currently enjoyed by Buyer's employees generally, which terms Buyer has
previously disclosed to Seller. Arch Ohio shall provide Buyer at Closing with a
definitive list of the employees it will retain.

         SECTION 10.07.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.

         (A) Effective as of the Closing Date, only those former employees of
AGI who shall be offered employment by Arch Ohio pursuant to Section 10.06 and
who accept such offer of employment shall cease to be covered under any employee
benefit plans of AGI and shall participate under the employee benefit plans,
programs, and policies maintained by Arch Ohio or any of its affiliates, subject
to any applicable eligibility periods or conditions or pre-existing condition
limitations. AGI shall remain liable for all benefits accrued or claims incurred
prior to the Closing Date under any employee benefit plans, programs, and
policies maintained by AGI or for AGI's employees by any affiliate of AGI. Arch
Ohio shall only be liable for benefits accrued and claims under the employee
benefit plans, programs, and policies maintained by Arch Ohio incurred on or
after the Closing Date by those employees of AGI whom shall be offered
employment by Arch Ohio pursuant to Section 10.06.

         (B) Seller shall be solely responsible for the provisions of health
care continuation coverage required under COBRA for those former employees of
AGI and other persons whose entitlement to continuation coverage occurred on or
before the Closing Date.

         SECTION 10.08. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING. Each party will use best efforts
to ensure the prompt fulfillment of the conditions precedent to Arch Ohio and
AGI's performance set forth in Article VII and Article VIII, respectively.

         SECTION 10.09. PRE-CLOSING INVENTORY. Within two days prior to the
Closing, the parties shall use their best efforts jointly to conduct a physical
inventory of the Purchased Assets. The parties shall come to an agreement for
the valuation, consistent with past practices of AGI, of the inventory and
certify that valuation to each other in writing, which certification shall be
attached as Schedule 10.09.

                                                                              21

amounts exceed the proceeds of insurance, if any, paid to Buyer covering the

         SECTION 12.02. INDEMNIFICATION BY ARCH OHIO. Arch Ohio shall indemnify,

         (G) All claims, investigations, actions, suits, proceedings, demands,
assessments, judgments, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses (incurred thereon at trial and upon appeal), incident to the

Arch Ohio shall be obligated to indemnify Seller only to the extent the above
amounts exceed the proceeds of insurance, if any, paid to Seller covering the
claims or recoveries from third parties, and Seller covenants and agrees to
pursue in good faith and with reasonable diligence any claims available under
applicable insurance policies.

         SECTION 12.03. NOTICE. If any party believes that it has suffered or
incurred any Damages, that party shall so notify the indemnifying party promptly
in writing describing such loss or expense, the amount thereof, if known, and
the method of computation of such Damages, all with reasonable particularity to
permit the indemnifying party to assess the nature and cost of the claim. If any
action at law, suit in equity or administrative action is instituted by or
against a third party with respect to which any person intends to claim any
liability or expense as Damages under this Article XII, such party shall
promptly notify the indemnifying party of such action.

         SECTION 12.04. DEFENSE OF CLAIMS. The indemnifying party shall have
thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of either notice referred to in Section
12.03 of this Agreement to notify the indemnified party that it elects to
conduct and control any legal or administrative action or suit with respect to
an indemnifiable claim. If the indemnifying party does not give such notice, the
indemnified person shall have the right to defend, contest, settle or compromise
such action or suit in the exercise of its exclusive discretion, and the
indemnifying party shall, upon request from the indemnified person, promptly pay
the indemnified person in accordance with the other provisions of this Article
XII the amount of any Damages resulting from its liability to the third party
claimant. If the indemnifying party gives such notice, it shall have the right
to undertake, conduct, and control, through counsel of its own choosing at its
sole expense, the conduct and settlement of such action or suit, and the
indemnified person shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection
therewith; provided, however, that (A) the indemnifying party shall not thereby
permit to exist any lien, encumbrance, or other adverse charge securing the
claims indemnified hereunder upon any asset of the indemnified person, (B) the
indemnifying party shall not thereby consent to the imposition of any injunction
against the indemnified person without the written consent of the indemnified
person, (C) the indemnifying party shall permit the indemnified person to
participate in such conduct or settlement through counsel chosen by the
indemnified person, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by
the indemnified person except as provided in clause (D) below, and (D) upon a
final determination of such action or suit, the indemnifying party shall agree
promptly to reimburse to the extent required under this Article XII (subject to
the provisions of Section 12.07 of this Agreement) the indemnified person for
the full amount of any Damages resulting from such action or suit and all
reasonable and related expenses incurred by the indemnified person, except fees
and expenses of counsel for the indemnified person incurred after the assumption
of the conduct and control of such action or suit by the indemnifying party. So
long as the

                                                                              24
<PAGE>
indemnifying party is contesting any such action in good faith, the indemnified
person shall not pay or settle any such action or suit. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the indemnified person shall have the right to pay or settle any such
action or suit, provided that in such event the indemnified person shall waive
any right to indemnity therefor from the indemnifying party and no amount in
respect therefor shall be claimed as Damages under this Article XII.

         SECTION 12.05. COOPERATION. If requested by the indemnifying party, the
indemnified person shall cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel
in contesting any claim that the indemnifying party elects to contest or, if
appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the claim
or any cross-complaint against any person and further agrees to take such other
action as reasonably may be requested by an indemnifying party to reduce or
eliminate any loss or expense for which the indemnifying party would have
responsibility, but the indemnifying party will reimburse the indemnified person
for any expenses incurred by it in so cooperating or acting at the request of
the indemnifying party.

         SECTION 12.06. PAYMENT OF DAMAGES. The indemnifying party shall
promptly pay to the indemnified person in immediately available funds the amount
of any Damages to which the indemnified person is entitled by reason of the
provisions of this Agreement. The parties covenant that any payment made
pursuant to this Article XII will be treated by the parties on their respective
tax returns as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

         SECTION 12.07. LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION. Anything else in this
Agreement notwithstanding, Arch Ohio and Seller shall not have any obligation to
indemnify any other party's Indemnified Person under this Article XII (A) for
any claim that is not delivered in writing to the person from whom
indemnification is sought on or before 11:59 p.m. on the eighteen month
anniversary of the Closing Date; (B) for any claim unless and until the
aggregate amount of all such claims that may be asserted under this Article XII
exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), and then said Indemnified Person
may only assert a claim for the excess of such aggregate claims over Twenty Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000); or (C), in excess of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($150,000) for the aggregate of all claims made under this Article XII.

and representations contained in this Agreement or waive compliance with any of
the covenants or conditions contained in this Agreement and so waive performance
of any of the obligations of the other party to this Agreement and any defaults
under this Agreement; provided, however, that such waiver shall not affect or
impair the waiving party's rights with respect to any other warranty,
representation or covenant or any default under this Agreement, nor shall any
waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

         SECTION 13.05. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed

instrument.
