SECTION 2.3 Post-Closing Adjustment.

determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company Financial
Statements (as defined herein) but with such adjustments as may be specifically
provided by this Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing after giving effect

at least $2,000,000 in cash) (the "Guaranteed Net Worth"), it being understood
and agreed that the Fee shall not reduce the Closing Net Worth. The amount of
the aggregate adjustment shall be a dollar for dollar reduction based on the
dollar amount of the deficiency.
(b) Increase in Redemption Price. The Redemption Price shall
be increased in the event that the Closing Net Worth is more than the Guaranteed
Net Worth. The amount of the
5
aggregate adjustment shall be a dollar for dollar increase based on the dollar
amount of the excess.
(c) Method of Adjusting Redemption Price. Within ninety (90)
days of the Closing, the Company Principals shall deliver to the Purchaser a
balance sheet, prepared by KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP (the "Auditors"), reflecting
the Closing Net Worth of Triumph-Delaware as of immediately prior to the Closing
(the "Closing Balance Sheet"), audited by and containing an unqualified report
of the Auditors. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in good faith in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Unless the Purchaser or the
Company Principals shall dispute the calculation of the Closing Net Worth as
reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet, then, in the event that the Closing Net
Worth as reflected thereon varies from the Guaranteed Net Worth, the Redemption
Price shall be subject to automatic adjustment as provided in Section 2.3(a) or
(b) hereof, as applicable.
(d) Adjustment. (i) In the event of a reduction in the
Redemption Price under Section 2.3(a), each Company Principal shall, within
fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet (unless a Balance
Sheet Dispute (as hereinafter defined) is pending), pay 50% of the amount
thereof to Triumph-Delaware. The Company Principals agree that representatives
of Purchaser may be present during any physical inventory conducted as part of
the audit of the Closing Balance Sheet.
(ii) In the event of an increase in the Redemption Price
under Section 2.3(b), Triumph-Delaware shall (unless a Balance Sheet Dispute is
pending) pay the amount thereof to the Company Principals, one half to each, no
later than fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet.
(e) Disputes Regarding Closing Balance Sheet. The Company
Principals and the Auditors, as the case may be, shall furnish the Purchaser and
its accountants (the "Purchaser's Auditors") and agents with full access, upon
reasonable prior notice, to all working papers, books, records, financial data
and other documentation used in the calculation of the Closing Net Worth.
Disputes with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet shall be dealt with as
follows:
(i) Triumph-Delaware and the Company Principals shall
have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet (the "Dispute
Period") to dispute any of the elements of or amounts reflected in the Closing
Balance Sheet (a "Balance Sheet Dispute"). If Triumph-Delaware or the Company
Principals has a Balance Sheet Dispute, Triumph-Delaware or the Company
Principals, as the case may be, shall deliver to the other parties to this
Agreement written notice (a "Dispute Notice") within the Dispute Period, setting
forth in reasonable detail a description of the Balance Sheet Dispute. Within
ten (10) business days after the delivery of any such Dispute Notice, the
Company Principals and Triumph-Delaware shall meet at a mutually acceptable time
and place and thereafter as often as such parties reasonably deem necessary and
shall, in good faith, cooperate in an attempt to resolve such Balance Sheet
Dispute and agree in writing upon an appropriate adjustment to the Closing Net
Worth as reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet.
6
(ii) If any Balance Sheet Dispute is not finally resolved
within twenty (20) business days after the delivery of a Dispute Notice, as
aforesaid, or if the parties shall fail to meet within ten (10) business days
after the delivery of any such Dispute Notice, then the Balance Sheet Dispute
shall be referred to an independent nationally recognized certified public
accounting firm selected by the Purchaser and the Company Principals (the
"Balance Sheet Arbitrator") for resolution in accordance with the terms hereof
(the "Balance Sheet Arbitration"), and in any event as soon as practicable.
(iii) In the event that the accounting firm selected by
the Purchaser and the Company Principals is then unwilling or unable to serve as
the Balance Sheet Arbitrator, the parties hereto shall select by mutual written
agreement another independent nationally recognized certified public accounting
firm to serve as the Balance Sheet Arbitrator.
(iv) The Balance Sheet Arbitrator shall hold a hearing
within thirty (30) days of the submission of the Balance Sheet Dispute for
arbitration (the "Balance Sheet Hearing") and shall render a decision within
thirty (30) days of the conclusion of such hearing. In preparation for its
presentation at such Balance Sheet Hearing, Triumph-Delaware, the Purchaser and
the Company Principals may depose such directors, officers, employees or agents
of the Companies, and such other persons as they may deem reasonably necessary
for such preparation. Triumph-Delaware and the Company Principals may file with
the Balance Sheet Arbitrator such briefs, affidavits and supporting documents as
they deem appropriate. The Balance Sheet Arbitrator shall have the same access
as the Purchaser to any documentation used in the calculation of the Closing Net
Worth. Any decision made by the Balance Sheet Arbitrator within the scope of its
authority shall be final, binding and non-appealable.
(v) The Balance Sheet Arbitrator shall only be authorized
on any one issue to decide in favor of and choose the position of either of the
parties to the Balance Sheet Arbitration or to decide upon a compromise position
between the ranges presented by the parties to such arbitration. The Balance
Sheet Arbitrator shall base its decision solely upon the presentations of the
parties to the Balance Sheet Arbitration at the Balance Sheet Hearing and any
materials made available under clauses (iv) or (vi) hereof and not upon
independent review.
(vi) The Balance Sheet Arbitrator's decision regarding
its final resolution of any Balance Sheet Dispute (the "Arbitrator's Decision")
shall be in writing, shall set forth the calculations made in reaching its
decision, shall describe the manner in which such calculations were made and
shall include a representation that the manner so used was in accordance with
GAAP and the specific terms of this Agreement relative to the calculation of the
Closing Net Worth. The Arbitrator's Decision shall specifically set forth the
amount of any adjustment required to be made to the Redemption Price pursuant to
Section 2.3(a) or (b), as the case may be.
(vii) Any such Balance Sheet Hearing shall take place in
New York, New York unless the parties shall mutually agree on another location.
The Balance Sheet Hearing shall be governed by the United States Arbitration
Act, 9 U.S.C. ▇▇.▇▇. 1 though 16, and judgment upon the award of the Balance
Sheet Arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.
7
(viii) The fees and expenses of the Balance Sheet
Arbitrator shall be borne (A) by Triumph-Delaware in the event that the Company
Principals' calculation of the Closing Net Worth was closer in dollar amounts to
the Balance Sheet Arbitrator's determination than was the Purchaser's
calculation thereof, and (B) by the Company Principals in the event that the
Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Net Worth was closer in dollar amounts to
the Balance Sheet Arbitrator's determination than was the Company Principals'
calculation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto
shall bear their own costs and expenses related to any such Balance Sheet
Arbitration. Upon the request of the Balance Sheet Arbitrator, the Company
Principals, Triumph-Delaware and Purchaser agree to enter into an arbitration
agreement providing reasonable protection to the Balance Sheet Arbitrator, in
such form as may be mutually acceptable to the Balance Sheet Arbitrator and the
Company Principals, Triumph-Delaware and Purchaser.
(ix) If the Balance Sheet Arbitrator determines that the
amount of the Closing Net Worth requires an adjustment to the Redemption Price
in accordance with Section 2.3(a) or (b) hereof, then the Redemption Price shall
be adjusted in accordance with such determination. In the event of a reduction
in the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 2.3(a), then each Company Principal
shall pay 50% of the amount thereof to Triumph-Delaware, within ten (10) days of
receipt of a copy of the Balance Sheet Arbitrator's determination. In the event
of an increase in the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 2.3(b), then
Triumph-Delaware shall pay the amount thereof to the Company Principals, one
half to each, within ten (10) days of receipt of a copy of the Balance Sheet
Arbitrator's determination.

Affiliate (as hereinafter defined), or to which any Company or any ERISA
Affiliate contributes or is obligated to make payments thereunder or otherwise
may have any liability ("Pension Benefit Plans"). For purposes of this
Agreement, "ERISA Affiliate" shall mean any person (as defined in Section 3(9)
of ERISA) that is a member of any group of persons described in Section 414(b),
(c), (m) or (o) of the Code of which any Company is a member.
(b) Each Company has delivered to Purchaser true and complete
copies of all Pension Benefit Plans and all "welfare benefit plans" (as defined
in Section 3(1) of ERISA) covering employees (or former employees) employed in
the United States, maintained or contributed to by any Company and, to the
extent covering employees (or former employees) employed in the United States,
any other plans, policies, programs, agreements, understanding or arrangements
providing compensation or other benefits to employees and former employees,
including, without limitation, all stock bonus, stock option, restricted stock,
stock appreciation right, stock purchase, bonus, incentive, deferred
compensation, severance and vacation plans maintained or contributed to by any
Company ("Welfare Plans").
(c) Each of the Companies, and each of the Pension Benefit
Plans and Welfare Plans, have been operated in and are in compliance with its
terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA and other applicable laws except
where the failure to comply would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(d) All contributions to, and payments from, the Pension
Benefit Plans which are required to have been made in accordance with the
Pension Benefit Plans and, when applicable, Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412
of the Code have been timely made except where the failure to make such
contributions or payments on a timely basis would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) The Pension Benefit Plans intended to qualify under
Section 401 of the Code have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") to be so qualified and, to each Company's knowledge, nothing has
occurred with respect to the operation of such Pension Benefit Plans which would
cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any
material liability, penalty or tax under ERISA or the Code. Such plans have been
or will be amended on a timely basis to comply with changes to the Code made by
the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other applicable legislative, regulatory or
administrative requirements.
(f) There are (i) no investigations pending, to the knowledge
of the Companies, by any governmental entity involving the Pension Benefit Plans
or Welfare Plans,
12

pending or, to any Company's knowledge, threatened claims (other than routine
claims for benefits), suits or proceedings against any Pension Benefit Plan or
Welfare Plan, against the assets of any of the trusts under any Pension Benefit
Plan or Welfare Plan or against any fiduciary of any Pension Benefit Plan or
Welfare Plan with respect to the operation of such plan or asserting any rights
or claims to benefits under any Pension Benefit Plan or against the assets of
any trust under such plan, except for those which would not, individually or in
the aggregate, give rise to any liability which would have a Material Adverse
Effect, nor, to any Company's knowledge, are there any facts which would give
rise to any liability except for those which would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect in the event of any such
investigation, claim, suit or proceeding.
(g) To each Company's knowledge, no Company or any employee of
the foregoing, nor any trustee, administrator, other fiduciary or any other
"party in interest" or "disqualified person" with respect to the Pension Benefit
Plans or Welfare Plans, has engaged in a "prohibited transaction" (as such term
is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) which would be
reasonably likely to result in a tax or penalty on any Company under Section
4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA, except any such transaction which
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. No
fiduciary (as defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA) has breached any of the
responsibilities or obligations imposed upon such fiduciary under Title I of
ERISA.
(h) None of the Companies or any ERISA Affiliate has ever
terminated any Pension Benefit Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, nor has any
trust created thereunder been terminated nor have there been any "reportable
events" (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA and the regulations thereunder)
with respect to any Pension Benefit Plan or any trust created thereunder, except
any such event which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect nor has there been any event with respect to any Pension
Benefit Plan requiring disclosure under Section 4063(a) of ERISA or any event
with respect to any Pension Benefit Plan requiring disclosure under Section
4041(c)(3)(C) of ERISA, except any such event which would not, individually or
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) None of the Companies or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred
any currently outstanding liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(the "PBGC") or to a trustee appointed under Section 4042(b) or (c) of ERISA
other than for the payment of premiums, all of which have been paid when due. No
Pension Benefit Plan has applied for, or received, a waiver of the minimum
funding standards imposed by Section 412 of the Code. The information supplied
to an actuary by each Company for use in preparing the most recent actuarial
report for a Pension Benefit Plan, if any, is complete and accurate in all
material respects.
(j) None of the Companies or any ERISA Affiliate has ever
withdrawn (in a partial or complete withdrawal) from or incurred any liability
(including any contingent liability under Section 4204 of ERISA) with respect to
any multi-employer plan, within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA, covering
employees (or former employees) employed in the United States.
13
(k) With respect to each of the Pension Benefit Plans and
Welfare Plans, true, correct and complete copies of the following documents have
been delivered to Purchaser: (i) the current plans and related trust documents,
including amendments thereto, (ii) any current summary plan descriptions, (iii)
the most recent Forms 5500, financial statements and actuarial reports, if
applicable, and (iv) the most recent IRS determination letter, if applicable.
(l) None of the Companies or any organization to which any
Company is a successor or parent corporation, within the meaning of Section
4069(b) of ERISA, nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in any transaction, within
the meaning of Section 4069(a) of ERISA, except where the liability for which
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) None of the Welfare Plans maintained by any Company are
plans which provide for continuing benefits or coverage for any participant or
any beneficiary of a participant following retirement or other termination of
employment, except as may be required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), or except at the expense of
the participant or the participant's beneficiary. Welfare Plans providing
benefits or coverage to terminated or retired participants or their
beneficiaries at the expense of such individuals are listed in Schedule 3.8(m).
Each Company which maintains a "group health plan" within the meaning of Section
5000(b)(1) of the Code has complied with the notice and continuation
requirements of Section 4980B of the Code, COBRA, Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title
I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder except where the failure to comply
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) No liability under any Pension Benefit or Welfare Plan has
been funded nor has any such obligation been satisfied with the purchase of a
contract from an insurance company as to which any Company has received notice
that such insurance company is in rehabilitation.
(o) The Continental Insurance Company stop-loss insurance
policy with respect to the Diamond Auto Glass Works, Inc. Employee Welfare
Benefit Plan is currently in force, has never lapsed and all required premiums
have been paid. Claims under the Diamond Auto Glass Works, Inc. Employee Welfare
Benefit Plan have not exceeded the coverage limits of the Continental Insurance
Company stop-loss insurance policy.
SECTION 3.9 No Violation of Law. Except as set forth in
Section 3.9 of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Companies is in violation of
or has been given notice or been charged with any violation of, any law,
statute, order, rule, regulation, ordinance or judgment (including, without
limitation, any applicable environmental law, ordinance or regulation) of any
Governmental Body, except for violations which, in the aggregate, do not have,
and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. No
Company has received any notice that any investigation or review with respect to
it by any Governmental Body is pending or threatened, other than, in each case,
those the outcome of which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Company has all permits, licenses, franchises,
registrations, variances, exemptions, orders and other governmental and other
authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to conduct its business as
presently conducted, except for those, the absence of which, alone or in the
aggregate, would not have a
14
Material Adverse Effect (collectively, "Permits"). Each Company (a) has duly and
timely filed all reports and other information required to be filed with any
Governmental Body in connection with its Permits, and (b) is not in violation of
the terms of any of its Permits, except for such omissions or delays in filings,
reports or violations which, alone or in the aggregate, would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. Section 3.9 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a list
of Permits.
SECTION 3.10 Environmental Matters. (a) To the knowledge of
each Company, the Companies and the properties and assets owned or operated by
any Company (including the Real Properties (as hereinafter defined)) are in

defined), which compliance includes, without limitation, the possession of all
material licenses, permits, registrations and other governmental authorizations
(collectively, "Environmental Authorizations") required under applicable
Environmental Laws and material compliance with the terms and conditions
thereof. To each Company's knowledge, since December 31, 1994, none of the

(as hereinafter defined), citizen group, employee or otherwise, that alleges
that any of the Companies or any of the properties or assets owned or operated

compliance with Environmental Laws. To each Company's knowledge, the Companies
have all material Environmental Authorizations necessary for the conduct of the
businesses of the Companies at the Closing Date except for those that are
disclosed in Schedule 3.10. None of the Companies have been notified by a
Governmental Authority since December 31, 1994, nor do any of the Companies have
reason to believe, that any such Environmental Authorizations will be modified,
suspended or revoked or cannot be renewed or otherwise maintained in the
ordinary course of business.
(b) There is no Environmental Notice (as hereinafter defined)
that (i) is pending or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened against any
Company or (ii) is pending or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened
against any person or entity whose liability for such Environmental Notice may
have been retained or assumed contractually or otherwise by any Company in each
case which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Except as set forth in Section 3.10 of the Disclosure
Schedule, and to each Company's knowledge, there are no past or present actions,
activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents arising out of, based
upon, resulting from or relating to any properties or assets (including the Real
Properties) currently or formerly owned, operated, leased or used by any of the
Companies, including, without limitation, the emission, discharge, disposal or
other release of any Hazardous Material (as hereinafter defined) in or into the
Environment (as hereinafter defined), that (i) could reasonably be expected to
result in the incurrence by any Company of material liabilities under
Environmental Laws, (ii) could reasonably be expected to form the basis of any
Environmental Notice relating to a material risk of loss or damage against or
with respect to any of the Companies, or against any Person or entity whose
liability for any Environmental Notice may have been retained or assumed
(contractually or otherwise) by or could be imputed or attributed by law to any
of the Companies or (iii) could subject Purchaser or any Company to any material
risk of loss or damages.
15

foregoing, to each Company's knowledge, and except as set forth in Section 3.10
of the Disclosure Schedule, (i) there are and have been no underground or above

located on, at or under property (including the Real Properties) currently or

of or otherwise released into the Environment in violation of the law and (iv)
there is no friable asbestos contained in or forming part of any building,

the public records under Environmental Laws with respect to any properties,
assets or facilities (including the Real Properties) owned, operated, managed,
leased or used by any Company.

Purchaser and its authorized representatives access to all records and files in
its possession relating to actual or potential compliance or liability issues of
any Company under Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all
reports, studies, analyses, tests or monitoring results pertaining to the
existence of Hazardous Materials or any other environmental concern relating to
properties, assets or facilities (including the Real Properties) currently or
formerly owned, operated, managed, leased, used or controlled by any Company, or
otherwise concerning compliance with or liability under Environmental Laws.
(g) To each Company's knowledge, there has been no disposal,
release, discharge, spillage, uncontrolled loss, seepage or filtration of
Hazardous Material on-site at any properties, assets or facilities (including
the Real Properties) formerly or currently owned or operated by any Company (the
"Properties") and, except as set forth in Section 3.10 of the Disclosure
Schedule, any Hazardous Material which remains on the Properties is being
managed in all material respects in accordance with applicable state and Federal

SECTION 3.11 Insurance. Each Company is covered by insurance
policies, or renewals thereof, as identified and described in Section 3.11 of
the Disclosure Schedule. No Company has received notice from any insurer or
agent of such insurer that material improvements or expenditures will have to be
made in order to continue such insurance and, so far as known to each Company,
no such improvements or expenditures are required (other than premium payments).
To each Company's knowledge, there is no material liability under any insurance
policy in the nature of a retroactive rate adjustment or loss sharing or similar
arrangement except as set forth in Section 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule. To
each Company's
17
knowledge, such insurance is adequate to cover risks of such types and in such
amounts as is customary for entities engaged in similar lines of business.

which it is the lessee and each such lease is valid, binding and enforceable
against such Company and, to the knowledge of each Company, the other parties

other Transaction Documents by each Company and the Company Principals does not
and will not (i) conflict with or violate the Certificate of Incorporation or
the by-laws of any Company, (ii) violate any laws, ordinances, rules, or
regulations, or any order, writ, injunction or decree to which any Company or
any Company Principal is a party or by which any Company or any Company
Principal, or any of their respective material assets, businesses, or operations
may be bound or affected or (iii) result in any breach or termination of, or
constitute a default under, or constitute an event which, with notice or lapse

encumbrance upon any material asset of any Company under, or create any rights
of termination, cancellation or acceleration in any person under, any Contract.
SECTION 3.15 Labor Matters. No Company is a party to any union
contract or other collective bargaining agreement, other than those set forth in
Section 3.15 of the Disclosure Schedule, true and complete copies of which

material respects with all applicable laws respecting employment and employment
practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, and no
Company is engaged in any unfair labor practice. There is no labor strike,
slowdown or stoppage pending (or, to the knowledge of any Company, any labor
strike or stoppage threatened) against or affecting any Company. No petition for
certification has been
18
filed and is pending before the National Labor Relations Board with respect to
any employees of any Company who are not currently organized.

key employee or group of employees has any plans to terminate employment with
any Company. Except for Triumph-Delaware's current executive officers who are
listed in Section 3.16 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Company is a party to any
employment, management services, consultation or other contract or agreement
with any past or present officer, director or employee or, to any Company's

Section 3.16 of the Disclosure Schedule, in each case true and complete copies
of which contracts have been delivered to Purchaser, and other than the

individually or collectively, are not material). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, (i) except as set forth in Section 3.17 of the Disclosure

by any Company of any of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other
securities of, or other ownership interest in, any Company or (ii) any amount or
asset paid or otherwise distributed to the Company Principals, whether as
compensation or otherwise (other than normal salary compensation, the amount of

(f) any change by any Company in accounting principles,
methods or policies; or
(g) any occurrence not included in paragraphs (a) through (f)

Section 3.19 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Company has any knowledge that, as a
result of the transactions contemplated hereby, any material customer of, or
material supplier to any Company will not continue to conduct business with any
Company after the Closing Date in substantially the same manner as it has
conducted business with the Companies within the twelve (12) month period
immediately preceding the Closing Date.
SECTION 3.20 Intellectual Property; Software. (a) Section
3.20(a) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and correct list in all
material respects of all patents, trademarks, tradenames, service marks, service
names, brand names and copyright registrations, and applications therefor,
applicable to or used in the business of the Companies, together with a complete
list of all licenses granted by or to any Company with respect to any of the
above. All such patents, trademarks, tradenames, service marks, service names,
brand names and copyrights are owned by a Company, free and clear of all liens,
claims, security interests and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, except
with respect to the credit agreements listed in Section 3.5(a) of the Disclosure
Schedule, or are used by a Company pursuant to valid licenses. Except as set
forth in Section 3.20(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, no Company is currently in
receipt of any notice of any violation or infringement of, and no Company is
knowingly violating or infringing in any material respect, the rights of others
in any patent, unpatented invention, trademark, tradename, service ▇▇▇▇,
copyright, trade secret, know-how, design or process.
(b) (i) Except with respect to the credit agreements listed in
Section 3.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, and except as set forth on Schedule
3.20(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, each Company has title to all material
computer software owned by such Company (other than "off-the-shelf" software not
customized for its use) ("Owned Software") free and clear of all liens, claims,
security interests and encumbrances whatsoever, including
20
claims or rights of employees, agents, consultants, customers, licensees or
other parties involved in the development, creation, documentation, marketing,
maintenance, enhancement or licensing of such computer software. Except as set
forth in Section 3.20(b)(i) or (ii) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Owned
Software is not dependent on any Licensed Software (as defined in subsection
(ii) below) in order to operate fully in the manner in which it is intended. The
source code of any Owned Software has not been published or knowingly disclosed
to any other parties, except as set forth on Section 3.20(b)(i) of the
Disclosure Schedule, and except pursuant to contracts requiring such other
parties to keep the source code of any Owned Software confidential. As of the
date hereof, to the knowledge of each Company, no such other party has breached
any such obligation of confidentiality.
(ii) Section 3.20(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule also
sets forth a list of the agreements which require the payment of license fees,
rents, royalties or other charges by any Company with respect to all material
software (other than "off-the-shelf" software that has not been customized for
its use) under which any Company is a licensee, lessee or otherwise has obtained
the right to use software and any Company pays a royalty for the use of such
software (the "Licensed Software"). Each Company has the right and license to
use, sublicense, modify and copy Licensed Software, free and clear of any
limitations or encumbrances, except as may be set forth in Section 3.20(b)(ii)
of the Disclosure Schedule or in the agreements referenced therein. Each Company
is in material compliance with all provisions of each license, lease or other
similar agreement pursuant to which it has rights to use the Licensed Software.
No Company has published or knowingly disclosed any Licensed Software to any
other party except, in the case of Licensed Software which a Company leases or
markets to others, in accordance with and as permitted by any license, lease or
similar agreement relating to the Licensed Software and except pursuant to
contracts requiring such other parties to keep the Licensed Software
confidential. As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of each Company, no party
to whom any Company has disclosed Licensed Software has breached such obligation
of confidentiality.
(iii) The Owned Software and Licensed Software constitute
all material software used in the respective businesses of the Companies
(collectively, the "Company Software"). Subject to obtaining the Required
Approvals, the transactions contemplated herein will not cause a breach or
default under any license, leases or similar agreements relating to the Company
Software or impair the ability of Triumph-Delaware to use the Company Software
subsequent to the Closing Date in the same manner as the Company Software is
currently used by the Companies. Except as set forth in Section 3.20(a), no
Company is knowingly infringing in any material respect any intellectual
property rights of any other person or entity with respect to the Company
Software, and, to the knowledge of each Company, no other person or entity is
infringing any intellectual property rights of any Company with respect to the
Company Software.

fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.
SECTION 3.23 Books, Records and Accounts. Each Company's
books, records and accounts fairly and accurately reflect in all material
respects transactions and dispositions of assets by such Company, and the system
of internal accounting controls of each Company is sufficient to assure that:
(a) transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization; (b)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP, and to maintain accountability for assets;
(c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's
authorization; and (d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences.
SECTION 3.24 Brokers and Finders. Except for the fees and
expenses payable to First Union Capital Markets Corp., which fees and expenses

transactions contemplated hereby. No fees or expenses of any nature incurred in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby,
including those referred to in the preceding sentence, that are paid by any
Company on or prior to the Closing Date shall be capitalized by any Company, and
the Closing Net Worth shall be determined as if all such fees and expenses were
incurred as an expense prior to the Closing Date. Any fees or expenses incurred
by any Company or any Company Principal in connection with this Agreement or the

the Closing Date shall become the obligation of the Company Principals, who
shall enter into appropriate documentation reflecting their assumption of such
obligations, as of the Closing Date.

representation or warranty made by any Company or any Company Principal to
Purchaser in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule or in any certificate of a

contained herein or therein in light of the circumstances in which made not
misleading as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The representations
and warranties contained in this Section 3.25 or elsewhere in this Agreement or
in any other Transaction Document shall not be affected or deemed waived by
reason of the fact that the Purchaser and/or its representatives know or should
have known that any such representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate in
any respect.
SECTION 3.26 Related Party Transactions. Except as set forth
on Schedule 3.26(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, (i) since December 31, 1996 no

Stock Market's National Market.
SECTION 3.27 Entire Business. The assets, properties and
rights which will be owned or leased by the Companies as of the Closing will

and shall not issue any such press release or written public statement prior to

if, in the reasonable judgment of the party seeking to issue such release or
make such public statement, prior review and approval would prevent the timely
dissemination of such release or statement in violation of applicable law.
SECTION 6.4 Disclosure Supplements. From time to time prior to
the Closing Date, and in any event immediately prior to the Closing Date, the
Companies shall promptly supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedule with
respect to any matter hereafter arising that, if existing, occurring, or known

described in the Disclosure Schedule or that is necessary to correct any
information in the Disclosure Schedule that is or has become inaccurate in any
material respect, it being understood that neither the delivery of such

becomes aware or learns of any actual or threatened event or circumstance which
causes, or can reasonably be expected to cause, the Purchaser's representation

promptly furnish to each Company Principal copies of any material amendment of,
or modification to, any commitment letter or funding arrangement relied upon by
the Purchaser in making the Funds Availability representation.

of his service as a director or officer of a Company prior to the Closing Date
to the same extent as the Companies shall have agreed to indemnify and reimburse
expenses of such directors and officers as of the date of this Agreement
pursuant to the By-laws of such Company,

the event Purchaser shall sell, liquidate, combine or reorganize
Triumph-Delaware at any time during the Indemnification Period, adequate
provision shall be made as a condition thereto to ensure that the rights of such
directors and officers pursuant to this Section 6.7 are preserved for the then
remaining duration of the Indemnification Period. During the Indemnification
Period, each Company, to the extent it maintains directors' and officers'
liability insurance, shall use its reasonable best efforts to include the
