                             EARNEST MONEY CONTRACT

                                                                    May 27, 2003

IN CONSIDERATION OF TEN AND NO/100 ($10.00) DOLLARS, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
undersigned Cooper Tools, Inc. ("Seller"), agrees to sell and convey to OYOG
Operations, L.P. ("Purchaser"), and Purchaser agrees to buy upon the terms and
conditions herein contained (this "Contract"), the property described in Exhibit
A attached hereto and located at 7007 Pinemont, Houston, Texas, together with
(A) all buildings, improvements, structures, landscaping, trees, fences,
fixtures and mechanical systems and other facilities situated therein or thereon
including, but only to the extent actually owned by Seller, all boilers,
radiators, heaters, furnaces, oil burners, elevators, motors, generators,
transformers, storm and screen windows, shades and blinds, all lighting,
heating, ventilation, security, air conditioning, sprinkling and plumbing
equipment, water and power systems, telephone system, electric fixtures attached
to the property, (B) certain personal property identified on Exhibit B attached
hereto, and (C) all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all
easements and rights (whether or not of record), tenements, hereditaments,
privileges, and appurtenances in any way belonging or pertaining to the property
described in Exhibit A, including without limitation, all utility, wastewater
and stormwater discharge capacity and rights (collectively the "Property"),
under the following terms and conditions:

1.      PURCHASE PRICE AND EARNEST MONEY:

The total consideration for the sale of the Property is THREE MILLION EIGHT
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($ 3,800,000.00). Of that amount, FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($ 50,000.00) shall be payable as earnest money upon acceptance of the
Contract by Seller ("Earnest Money"), which shall be placed, together with a
fully executed copy of this Contract, in escrow with Houston Title Company
("Escrow Agent"). Should the terms of this Contract be closed, the Earnest Money
shall be applied against the purchase price provided herein, but should
Purchaser fail to carry out the terms of this Contract for any reason, except
the failure of any condition to Purchaser's obligations hereunder, Seller shall
have the right to receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty. Seller waives any right to sue for specific performance or damages for
breach of Contract.

2.      SURVEY:

Seller shall furnish to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent within thirty (30) days
from the beginning of the Inspection Period (hereinafter defined), two (2)
copies each of a survey of the Property and a metes and bounds description,
prepared and certified by a surveyor acceptable to the Purchaser, and upon which
the Escrow Agent shall delete from the Owner's Title Policy ("Title Policy") the
survey exception with respect thereto. The survey shall conform to the
requirements of a Category 1A, Condition II Texas Land Title Survey, which
survey and the

<PAGE>

certified field notes thereto shall be dated and certified after the effective
date of this Contract. The cost of the survey shall be shared equally by Seller
and Purchaser.

3.      TITLE COMMITMENT:

Seller shall furnish to Purchaser, within twenty (20) days from the beginning of
the Inspection Period, a current Title Commitment ("Title Commitment") from the
Escrow Agent. Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of
such Title Commitment to state any objections to title. Exceptions shown on the
Title Commitment not objected to by Purchaser by delivery of written
notification to Seller within twenty (20) days from the receipt of the Title
Commitment, shall be deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser as if specified
herein. The foregoing accepted exceptions are collectively referred to herein as
the "Permitted Exceptions". Upon receipt of written notice of Purchaser's
objections, Seller shall have a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days
from the date of receipt of such written notice, in which to remedy or remove
such exception(s) objected to by Purchaser.

If Seller is unable or unwilling to remove or remedy any survey matter or title
exceptions objected to by Purchaser within thirty (30) days from the date of
written notice of such Purchaser's objections, then each of Purchaser and Seller
shall have the right to terminate this Contract, unless Purchaser elects to
waive any such objections and notifies Seller thirty (30) days before the date
of closing (hereinafter defined) that (a) such title objections are now
Permitted Exceptions and (b) of Purchaser's intentions to close the transaction
contemplated herein. If the Contract is canceled in accordance with this
provision, the Purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of the Earnest Money and
neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any other liability to the other. The
Seller shall convey the Property to the Purchaser at closing subject only to the
Permitted Exceptions. It is specifically understood, however, that no deed of
trust lien, mortgage, security interest, mechanic's and materialman's lien, or
other lien or security interest securing the payment of money, as may be shown
on Schedule C of the Title Commitment, shall be deemed a "Permitted Exception"
whether or not objected to by Purchaser; and Seller agrees to cause to be
released of record at closing all such monetary liens. Seller further warrants
that the Property is presently occupied solely by Seller or an affiliate of
Seller, and that at closing there will be no tenants-in-possession, or
parties-in-possession, other than Seller as herein permitted.

4.      CLOSING:

                (i)     The closing of the transaction contemplated hereby shall
be held on or before August 15, 2003, or upon such earlier date as Purchaser and
Seller may mutually elect, with the closing to be held in the offices of the
Title Company. The terms "closing" and "date of closing" as used in this
Contract shall refer to the date and place of closing as determined by the terms
of this paragraph.

        (b)     Seller agrees to execute and deliver to Purchaser at closing a
Special Warranty Deed ("Deed") conveying the Property subject only to the
Permitted Exceptions, if any, and to provide and pay for the Title Policy in the
amount of the total consideration for the Property.

                                        2

<PAGE>

        (c)     Except as otherwise stated herein, possession of the Property
shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the date of closing.

        (d)     Ad valorem taxes for the year 2003, shall be prorated as of the
date of closing. The 2003 ad valorem taxes shall be based on the year 2002 tax
bills. Purchaser and the Seller shall promptly re-prorate the taxes at such time
as the year 2003 ad valorem taxes are available. The Purchaser shall pay all
transfer taxes, if any. This provision shall survive closing, and shall not
merge into the Deed.

        (e)     The Seller shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser or the
Escrow Agent, as the case may be, in a commercially acceptable form the
following documents at or prior to the closing:

                (i)     The Special Warranty Deed;

                (ii)    Real Estate Transfer Tax Declaration (if applicable);

                (iii)   Blanket Bill of Sale as to any personal or intangible
property located on the Property, other than any personal or intangible property
identified by the Purchaser to be excluded from the conveyance herein;

                (iv)    FIRPTA Affidavit;

                (v)     State of Texas Withholding Tax Affidavit (if
applicable);

                (vi)    Owner's Affidavit;

                (vii)   Sale Closing Statement;

                (viii)  Corporate resolution and incumbency certificate
authorizing the conveyance of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof and
authorizing the respective officers to execute and deliver closing documents
with respect to such conveyance; and

                (ix)    Such documents and instruments as are required by the
issuer of the Title Policy to issue such Title Policy without exception, except
for the Permitted Exceptions.

                (x)     Tax Certificates furnished by the tax collector stating
all taxes paid through 2002.

                (xi)    All keys to the Property.

        (f)     The parties shall cooperate with each other to fulfill their
respective responsibilities under any applicable law concerning notifications or
filings regarding the transfer of property containing environmental
contamination. The form and content of all closing documents, including without
limitation those listed above, shall be reasonably acceptable to both parties.

                                        3

5.      EFFECTIVE DATE:

This Contract shall be effective upon the date that both Purchaser and Seller
have executed and delivered this Contract, and Purchaser has deposited the
Earnest Money with the Escrow Agent ("Effective Date"). All critical dates
referenced in this Contract shall be calculated from the Effective Date.

6.      INSPECTION PERIOD:

This Contract is contingent upon Purchaser having a period of forty-five (45)
days after the effective date of this Contract in which to conduct an inspection
of the Property ("Inspection Period"), including all the electrical systems,
mechanical systems and the general structure of the Property. Seller agrees to
disclose to Purchaser any and all relevant and material information which, to
the best of Seller's knowledge, Seller has in Seller's possession regarding the
condition of the Property including, but not limited to, the presence and
location of asbestos containing materials, PCB containing equipment, toxic,
hazardous or contaminated substances and underground storage tanks, in, on or
about the Property. Purchaser shall maintain the confidentiality of all such
information received from Seller, and shall not disclose the information to any
other person except Purchaser's counsel and environmental consultant. Prior to
Seller providing any information regarding the condition of the Property,
Purchaser shall execute and return to Seller the Confidentiality Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit C. During said forty-five (45) day Inspection Period
Purchaser may have the Property inspected and a written study (the "Study")
prepared, to determine the environmental suitability of the Property to
Purchaser's intended use. During this inspection, Purchaser may install soil
borings and temporary groundwater monitoring wells, conduct percolation tests
and other investigation activities to determine the presence of any asbestos,
soil or groundwater contamination, radioactivity, methane, radon, volatile
hydrocarbons, underground storage tanks or any other substances or conditions
which may be deemed hazardous or toxic as same may be defined by any federal,
state or local government hereby having jurisdiction over the Property, and
Seller encourages and invites Purchaser to conduct its own environmental
inspection of the Property; provided, however, as follows: Purchaser must submit
to Seller prior to any drilling, testing or other invasive investigation
whatsoever on the site, a work plan (the "Work Plan') prepared by Purchaser's
environmental consultant showing the location of any proposed testing or
drilling and providing the scope of all work to be performed at the site. Seller
shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the Work Plan to approve or
disapprove, in Seller's sole discretion, Purchaser's continued investigation of
the site. In the event Purchaser does not receive Seller's written approval of
the Work Plan within fifteen (15) days, this Contract shall be void and the
Earnest Money returned to Purchaser.

If in Purchaser's sole judgment and discretion the above inspections and review
of materials render the Property unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall
notify Seller as such in writing prior to the end of the Inspection Period,
whereupon this Contract shall terminate and Purchaser shall receive a full
refund of its Earnest Money with no further obligation. Seller reserves the
right to continue to conduct its own inspections including additional
environmental investigation of the Property during the Inspection Period and, in
Seller's sole discretion, cancel this Contract

                                        4

<PAGE>

and refund all of the Earnest Money to Purchaser with no further obligation;
provided further that, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all actual expenses
incurred in connection with Purchaser's inspection of the Property, not to
exceed TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($25,000.00). Seller and
Purchaser may agree (neither being under any obligation to so agree) in writing
to a plan of action mutually acceptable to both whereby any condition rendering
the Property unacceptable to Purchaser shall be remedied.

A Seller's representative may be present during Purchaser's environmental
inspection. At Seller's request, Seller shall be given a copy of Purchaser's
Study and all other written materials created during Purchaser's environmental
inspection immediately upon its completion, without regard for whether or not
the transaction contemplated herein is ever closed. Purchaser shall return to
Seller, upon Seller's request, the originals and all copies of Purchaser's Study
and all other written materials created during Purchaser's environmental
inspection, and all copies of all records, studies, reports and other materials
which have been supplied to Purchaser by Seller, if this transaction, for
whatever reason, should fail to close. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and
hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, proceedings,
liabilities and obligations arising from or related to environmental conditions
that may arise out of or be aggravated by the performance of Purchaser's
environmental inspection. Without in any way limiting the indemnity in the
immediately preceding sentence, should Purchaser's environmental and/or general
inspection cause damage to or aggravate the environmental and/or general
condition of the Property, then Purchaser shall unconditionally absorb and pay
for, all expenses related to returning the Property to its original condition
existing prior to the performance of Purchaser's environmental and/or general
inspection, whether or not the transaction contemplated herein ever closes. This
paragraph shall survive the delivery of title or termination of this Contract,
and shall not merge into the Deed.

Prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller in
writing of any environmental conditions which Purchaser desires Seller to
remedy. If Seller is unwilling to remedy such conditions, then each of Purchaser
and Seller may terminate this Contract within fifteen (15) days after Seller's
receipt of Purchaser's notification of such conditions, in which event both
parties will be released and Purchaser's Earnest Money deposit will be returned
in full. If it becomes necessary following closing for Seller to investigate or
remedy any environmental condition for which Seller is responsible, Seller shall
make a written request to Purchaser stating the nature of the environmental
investigation or remediation to be performed and the time and date Seller or
Seller's consultants/contractors will require access to the Property. In the
event Purchaser allows Seller to investigate or remediate an environmental
condition as requested by Seller, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold
Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, proceedings,
liabilities and obligations arising from or related to environmental conditions
that may arise out of or be aggravated by Seller's performance of such
environmental inspection or remediation. In no event shall Seller be liable to
Purchaser for any disruption of Purchaser's business arising from Seller's
investigation or remediation of any environmental condition. If Purchaser
refuses or in any way restricts Seller's access to the Property, including the
failure to timely respond to Seller's written request as stated herein,
Purchaser shall indemnify Seller from any claims, liabilities, damages, injuries
and costs arising

                                        5

<PAGE>

as a consequence of Seller not gaining access to the Property. This paragraph
shall survive the delivery of title, and shall not merge into the Deed.

Prior to the end of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall determine if the
Property is adequately zoned for Purchaser's intended use. If Purchaser
determines the Property is not so zoned, Purchaser may notify Seller thereof
prior to the end of the Inspection Period and receive a full refund of the
Earnest Money with no further obligation.

During the Inspection Period, Seller shall make a reasonable effort to provide
to Purchaser certain information regarding the Property including:

        (a)     Summary of property/facility-related costs for the Property for
each of the last three calendar years and, to the extent available, the first
three months of 2003, including but not limited to, electricity, gas, water,
property taxes, factory maintenance, office maintenance, yard maintenance,
security and any other ongoing property-related costs.

        (b)     Summary of any fixed asset additions to the Property (including
any capitalized repairs and maintenance not included above) for the last three
years and the first three months of 2003.

        (c)     To the extent such information is in Seller's actual possession,
copies of drawings of the current building layout and any existing surveys.

        (d)     To the extent such information is in Seller's actual possession,
an inventory of any and all spare parts for the electrical bussing equipment.

        (e)     To the extent such information is in Seller's actual possession,
a certification of the electrical capacity available to the building.

        (f)     To the extent such information is in Seller's actual possession,
current plans and specifications on the Property, including all information
relative to network cabling.

7.      CONTINGENCIES:

The obligations of the Purchaser hereunder are subject to the satisfaction of
the following conditions precedent:

        (a)     The issuance of the Title Policy in favor of the Purchaser

        (b)     The execution and delivery of the documents and instruments
required under Section 4 hereof; and

        (c)     The execution and delivery of broker lien waivers by the Brokers

assumes, shall be liable for, and will indemnify, defend and hold Seller

9.      SELLER'S DEFAULT:

Should Seller fail to materially comply with any of the requirements of this
Contract pending closing, Purchaser may cancel this Contract by giving Seller
written notice thereof, and in such event the Earnest Money shall be returned to
Purchaser. Purchaser waives any right to sue for specific performance or damages
for breach of Contract. However, Purchaser shall be entitled to reimbursement
for all actual expenses incurred in connection with Purchaser's inspection of
the Property, not to exceed TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($25,000.00).

10.     CONDEMNATION OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:

If prior to the closing, all or any substantial part of the Property is

applying the proceeds of any condemnation award or insurance policies to reduce
the total consideration provided herein or (B) declaring this Contract
terminated by delivering written notice of termination pursuant to this

                    FIRST AMENDMENT TO EARNEST MONEY CONTRACT

        This First Amendment to Earnest Money Contract (this "Amendment") is
made to be effective as of the 14th day of July, 2003, by and between COOPER
POWER TOOLS, INC. ("Seller"), and OYOG Operations, L.P. ("Purchaser").

                                    RECITALS:

A.              Seller and Purchaser entered into that certain Earnest Money
Contract dated May 27, 2003, but effective as of May 30, 2003 (the "Purchase
Agreement"), providing for the sale by Seller to Purchaser of 19.2155 acres of
land out of the W. C. Wallace Survey, A-848, Harris County, Texas (the "Land"),
said Land being more particularly described in Exhibit A attached to the
Purchase Agreement. Each capitalized term used in this Amendment, unless
otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the
Purchase Agreement.

B.              Section 6 of the Purchase Agreement, entitled "Inspection
Period," provided Purchaser forty-five (45) day (until July 14, 2003) in which
to make certain inspections.

C.              Seller and Purchaser have agreed to extend the Inspection Period
and certain other contract dates upon the terms and conditions set forth below.

D.              The Purchase Agreement was executed by Seller in the name of
"Cooper Tools, Inc." The correct name of Seller, however, is "Cooper Power
Tools, Inc." Accordingly, Seller and Purchaser wish to evidence by this
Amendment the correct name of Seller.

        NOW, THEREFORE, premises considered and for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and
other good and valuable consideration each paid to the other, receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser agree to amend the Purchase
Agreement in the following respects:

1.              The Inspection Period is hereby extended thirty (30) days to
        Thursday, August 14, 2003. Accordingly, the date for the "closing" under
        Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby extended from August 15,
        2003 to on or before Friday, August 29, 2003. For the avoidance of
        error, any other deadlines in the Purchase Agreement originally
        scheduled in reference to or after the expiration of the Inspection
        Period, are hereby extended by a 14-day period.

2.              Seller and Purchaser each acknowledge that the correct name of
        Seller is "Cooper Power Tools, Inc." The parties hereby amend the
        Purchase Agreement to replace, wherever it appears, the name "Cooper
        Tools, Inc." with the correct name, "Cooper Power Tools, Inc."

3.              Each party acknowledges and agrees that all obligations and
        duties of the other party under the Purchase Agreement (as hereby
        amended) required to be performed prior to the date hereof, have been
        satisfactorily performed.

<PAGE>

4.              Seller and Purchaser ratify and confirm the Purchase Agreement,
        as hereby amended, as continuing in full force and effect.

        EXECUTED to be effective as of the date first hereinabove written.
