This matter is before the Court upon the “Motion of Debtors Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sections 105, 363 and 365 for Order Authorizing (I) Sale of Certain Assets of the Estates Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, and Interests; and (II) Sale, Assumption and Assignment of Certain Leases and Executory Contracts” (the “Sale Motion”) (Docket No. 270, filed December 16, 2003), filed by Waterlink, Inc. and Barnebey Sutcliffe Corporation (together, the “Selling Debtors”) and certain of their affiliates. The Sale Motion seeks this Court’s authorization pursuant to Sections 105, 363 and 365 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and Rules 2002, 6004, and 6006 of the Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”) (a) to sell substantially all of Barnebey Sutcliffe Corporation’s operating assets and all the issued and outstanding stock of Waterlink, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, Waterlink (UK) Limited (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”), free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests (the “Sale”) to Calgon Carbon Corporation and/or its permitted assignee(s) (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of February 3, 2004, by and among the Purchaser and the Selling Debtors, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A (including all

The Court having entered an order on December 24, 2004 (the “Bid Procedures Order”), pursuant to which the Court,interalia, (i) established the date and time for the hearing on the Sale Motion (the “Sale Hearing”), (ii) approved the bidding procedures specified therein (the “Bidding Procedures”), and (iii) approved the form and manner of notice for the sale and assumption and assignment of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Contracts; requisite notice of the Sale Motion having been provided as set forth in the Bid Procedures Order; the Sale Hearing having been held before this Court on February 3, 2004, at which time all parties-in-interest were afforded an opportunity to be heard; the Court having considered the Sale Motion and the Asset Purchase Agreement; and, in accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 6004, 6006, and 9008, the Court having received evidence in support of the Sale and the Sale Motion and having heard the arguments of counsel for the Selling Debtors, the Purchaser and various other parties in interest; all the objections to the relief requested in the Sale Motion having been withdrawn, resolved, or overruled by the court; and it appearing to the Court that, upon all of the pleadings filed with the Court and the record of the Sale Hearing before the Court, the relief requested by the Sale Motion is in the best interests of the Selling Debtors and their respective estates,

2

IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND CONCLUDED, that:

A. On June 27, 2003 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Selling Debtors and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code commencing their respective cases (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”). Pursuant to Sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors remain in possession of their property and continue to operate and manage their businesses as debtors-in-possession. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in these cases. An Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Committee”) was appointed on July 14, 2003. The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered.

B. The Debtors are an international provider of integrated water and air purification solutions for both industrial and municipal customers.

C. This Court has jurisdiction to hear and determine the Sale Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

D. Determination of the Sale Motion is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b)(2)(A), (M), (N), and (O). The statutory and rule predicates for the relief requested herein are Sections 105(a), 363, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004, and 6006.

E. Proper, timely, adequate and sufficient notice of the Sale Motion, the Bidding Procedures, the Sale Hearing, and the proposed Sale has been provided in accordance with the terms of the Bid Procedures Order, and such notice constitutes due and proper notice for purposes of Sections 102(1), 363, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004, 6006, 9006, and 9008, and no other or further notice of the Sale Motion, the Sale Hearing, or of the entry of this order is required.

3

F. On January 30, 2004, the Debtors conducted a public auction of the Purchased Assets (the “Auction”). At the Auction, the Debtor received the following three highest bids (the “Three Highest Bids”) excluding Cure Amounts (as defined in the Bid Procedures Order) and the assumed liabilities listed on Schedule 1.3: (i) Thirty Five Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($35,200,000), plus the assumption of the Debtors’ United States pension plan liabilities, from Purchaser, (ii) Thirty Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000) from WBS Carbon Acquisition Corp. ($12 million for the stock of Waterlink (UK) Limited and $23 million for the remaining assets of the Debtors), and (iii) Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) from GSC Barnebey Recovery, Inc. The Bidding Procedures afforded a full, fair, and reasonable opportunity for any entity to make a higher and better offer to purchase the Purchased Assets and no higher or better offer has been made.

G. The Selling Debtors have complied with the procedures set forth in the Bid Procedures Order concerning the evaluation of competing bids, the conduct of the auction, and the communication with the proponents of competing bids to the extent required thereby. The sale and auction process conducted by the Selling Debtors was non-collusive, fair and reasonable, and conducted in good faith.

H. A reasonable opportunity to object or be heard regarding the relief requested in the Sale Motion has been afforded to all interested persons and entities, including: (a) all parties, if any, who are known to claim a property interest in or Lien (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) upon any Purchased Asset; (b) all parties, if any, who are known to claim an interest in any Assumed Contracts; (c) all governmental taxing authorities who have, or as a result of the Sale of the Purchased Assets may have, Claims (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code), contingent or otherwise, against the Selling Debtors; (d) all potential purchasers known

4

to the Selling Debtors, (e) the parties listed on the General Service List, including all creditors and other parties who have filed a Notice of Appearance in these cases; (f) the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware and (g) the Committee.

I. Each of the Selling Debtors has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Asset Purchase Agreement and all other documents contemplated thereby and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby; the execution, delivery and performance by each of the Selling Debtors of the Asset Purchase Agreement and all other documents contemplated thereby and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of the Debtors; no consents or approvals, other than those expressly provided for in the Asset Purchase Agreement, are required to consummate the Sale; and all consents and approvals necessary for the assignment of the Assumed contracts have been obtained.

J. The Sale is in the best interests of the Debtors and their estates. The Selling Debtors have an adequate business justification to sell the Purchased Assets pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Such business justification includes, but is not limited to, the following factors: (i) there is a significant risk of immediate and irreparable deterioration in the value of the Purchased Assets if the sale is not consummated quickly; (ii) the consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement presents the best opportunity to realize the value of the Purchased Assets and avoid further decline and devaluation thereof; and (iii) the sale pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement is in the public interest, as it will result in the continued operation of the Selling Debtors’ assets and the Purchaser’s assumption of all obligations relating to Barnebey Sutcliffe Corporation’s pension plan. After consideration of the circumstances described in the Sale Motion, the Court determined that the Bidding

5

Procedures presented the best opportunity for the Selling Debtors’ estates to realize the highest distribution possible to creditors.

K. The Purchase Price (as defined and set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement) constitutes fair and reasonable consideration and reasonably equivalent value for the Purchased Assets.

L. The Selling Debtors have good title to the Purchased Assets and, accordingly, the transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement will be a legal, valid and effective transfer of the Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as may be specifically provided otherwise in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Contracts are being sold and assigned to the Purchaser “AS IS, WHERE IS.” The Debtors have made no representations or warranties as to the condition of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Contacts and have specifically disclaimed any expressed or implied representation or warranty, including, without limitation, any representation or warranty related to (a) the quality, character or condition of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Contracts, including without limitation the fitness or suitability for any particular trade or use or the merchantability of, any of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Contracts, (b) the compliance of the use of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Contracts with any and all federal, state or local environmental or other laws or regulations, or (c) the income to be derived from, or the expense to be incurred with respect to, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Contracts.

M. As a condition to the Sale, the Purchaser requires that the Purchased Assets be sold to it free and clear of all Liens and Claims, other than the Assumed Liabilities (which term, as used in this order, means all liabilities listed on Schedule 1.3 of the Asset Purchase

6

Agreement, all Cure Amounts relating to Assumed Contracts and all pension liabilities assumed pursuant to § 8.9 of the Asset Purchase Agreement), and that the Purchaser shall have no liability or obligation for any Excluded Liabilities. The Purchaser would not enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement or consummate the Sale, thus adversely affecting the Selling Debtors’ estates and impeding the Debtors’ reorganization efforts, if the Sale were not free and clear of all Liens and Claims (other than the Assumed Liabilities) or if the Purchaser were or would be liable for any Excluded Liabilities.

N. An injunction against the creditors and third parties pursuing Liens and Claims is necessary to induce the Purchaser to close under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The issuance of such injunction is necessary to avoid irreparable harm to the Selling Debtors’ estates, their creditors and employees.

O. Each entity with a Lien on the Purchased Assets has consented to the Sale or is deemed to have consented to the Sale or the transfer is proper pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.

P. All of the actions taken by the Purchaser, the Selling Debtors, and their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, financial advisors and other professionals in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Sale Motion have been taken in good faith, and the Purchaser is a good faith purchaser within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code because:

(a) The Purchaser is unrelated to the Debtors;

(b) The Purchaser, the Selling Debtors, and their respective counsel and financial advisors engaged in good faith’s arm’s-length negotiations in arriving at the Asset Purchase Agreement;

7

(c) None of the Purchaser or any of the Debtors has engaged in any conduct that would cause the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement to be avoided as contemplated in Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code; and

(d) In the absence of a stay pending appeal, the Purchaser will be acting in good faith within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code in closing the Sale as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, including the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contracts, at any time after the entry of this Order and, accordingly, such closing in the face of an appeal will not deprive the Purchaser of its status as a good-faith purchaser.

Q. Except for the Assumed Liabilities expressly assumed by Purchaser pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, neither the Purchaser nor any of its successors and assigns is assuming any of the Debtors’ obligations or liabilities.

R. There is no common identity among the Purchaser’s and the Debtors’ incorporators, officers, directors or material stockholders.

S. No bulk sales law or any similar law applies in any way to the transfer of the Purchased Assets under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

T. The applicable Cure Amounts listed on Exhibit B (which are to be paid by the Purchaser with respect to any contracts or leases listed on Exhibit B that are designated as Assumed Contracts in accordance with Section l.1(i)(1) of the Asset Purchase Agreement) are the sole amounts necessary to cure any defaults by any of the Selling Debtors under the Assumed Contracts.

8

U. The Purchaser has provided adequate assurance of the Purchaser’s future performance under the Assumed Contracts within the meaning of Sections 365(b)(1)(C) and 365(f)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.

V. The assumption by the Selling Debtors and assignment to the Purchaser of the Assumed Contracts and the assumption by the Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities is in the best interest of the Selling Debtors, their creditors, and their estates and represents a prudent exercise of the Selling Debtors’ business judgment.

W. The transfer of the Purchased Assets and the assignment, sale and assumption of the Assumed Contracts as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement (a) are or will be legal, valid, and effective transfers of property of the Selling Debtors’ estates to the Purchaser, and (b) vest or will vest in the Purchaser all right, title, and interest of the Selling Debtors in and to all of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Contracts free and clear of all Liens and Claims, other than the Assumed Liabilities, under Sections 363(f) and 105 of the Bankruptcy Code.

X. All of the provisions of this Order arc nonseverable and mutually dependent.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:

1. The Sale Motion is granted in all respects.

2. All objections to the Sale Motion or the relief requested therein that have not been withdrawn, waived or settled, and all reservations of rights included therein, are overruled on the merits.

9

3. The provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement are hereby approved. The Debtors are authorized and directed to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to Sections 363(b) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code. The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be enforceable by and against the Debtors and their successors and assigns, including any chapter 7 or 11 trustee appointed or elected in the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases.

4. By the issuance of this Order, each of the Selling Debtors is authorized and directed to execute and deliver, and empowered to fully perform under, consummate and implement, the Asset Purchase Agreement and all additional amendments, instruments, and documents that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to implement the Asset Purchase Agreement and to take all further actions as may reasonably be requested by the Purchaser for the purpose of assigning, transferring, granting, conveying, and conferring to the Purchaser, or reducing to the Purchaser’s possession, any or all of the Purchased Assets.

5. Pursuant to Sections 363(f) and 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, title to all of the Purchase Assets shall be transferred to the Purchaser at the Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement (or thereafter as provided therein), free and clear of all Liens and Claims (including, without limitation all postpetition obligations and liabilities of the Selling Debtors), other than the Assumed Liabilities, with all such Liens, Claims, obligations and liabilities released, terminated and discharged as to the Purchaser (and its successors and assigns) and the Purchased Assets. All Claims and Liens will attach to the proceeds from the Sale, in the order of their priority, with the same validity, force, and effect that they had against the Purchased Assets immediately prior to the Sale.

6. The proceeds from the Sale shall be distributed at Closing as follows: (a) Seven Hundred Seventy Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($772,500) to Barnebey Acquisition

10

Corp. (“BAC”) in full and final satisfaction of its break up fee (“Break Up Fee”); (b) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) shall be held in escrow by the Debtor to satisfy the expense reimbursement of BAC pursuant to the terms of paragraph 20 of the Bid Procedures Order (the “Expense Reimbursement”), which shall not exceed $200,000; (c) Net Collateral Sale Proceeds (as defined below) shall be provisionally paid to Bank of America, N.A., as agent (the “Agent”), for provisional distribution to the Debtors’ secured lenders (the “Lenders”) in a manner to be agreed upon by the Debtors, the Lenders, and the Committee, as set forth in the following sentence; and (d) the balance to the Debtors’ estates. The term “Net Collateral Sale Proceeds” shall mean, as of the closing, the gross Sale proceeds minus (i) the Break Up Fee, (ii) the Expense Reimbursement, (iii) the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, (iv) all actual and normal charges, costs, and expenses attendant to the Sale which are customarily paid or reserved for at Closing from the gross Sale proceeds and which are not already included in the Budget incorporated into the cash collateral order, (v) any Sale proceeds subject to Liens having priority ahead of the Liens of the Lenders, and (vi) Sale proceeds not subject to the Lenders’ Liens; provided that, in calculating the Sale Proceeds not subject to the Lenders’ Liens, there shall be an estimated allocation of Sale Proceeds at Closing between the stock of Waterlink (UK) Limited and the remaining Purchased Assets of the Selling Debtors, which allocation shall be adjusted for the Break Up Fee, the Expense Reimbursement, Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, other actual and customary closing costs (including investment banking fees) not included in the Budget incorporated into the cash collateral order and any positive or negative Closing date working capital adjustment. Additionally, after the Final Post Closing Purchase Price Adjustment, there shall be a further provisional distribution to the Lenders of the remaining Net Collateral Sale Proceeds adjusted

11

between the stock of Waterlink (UK) Limited and the remaining Purchased Assets of the Selling Debtors in a manner consistent with the estimated allocation made at Closing. Pending a determination as to the allowance of the Lenders’ secured Claims, the Lenders may provisionally apply the Net Collateral Sale Proceeds received pursuant to this paragraph 6(c) to the indebtedness owed by the Debtors to the Lenders pursuant to the pre-petition credit facility, subject to all rights and remedies of the Debtors and their estates under the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law, including any right they may have to seek a Court order requiring disgorgement of such Net Collateral Sale Proceeds. By accepting a provisional distribution, each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have submitted to the jurisdiction of this Court in respect of any action to recover such distribution, and such Lenders shall be severally but not jointly liable in respect of any disgorgement of such Net Collateral Sale Proceeds, with such action to recover distributions to be brought against the Lenders in their individual capacities and not against the Agent on behalf of the Lenders. The allocation of Sale Proceeds and payments to the Lenders provided in this paragraph shall be provisional and shall not constitute a determination of this Court, or otherwise be construed as an admission by any party, as to the final allocation of such Sale Proceeds or of the extent, validity or priority of the Lenders’ Liens and Claims

7. All persons and entities holding Liens and Claims of any kind and nature with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Debtors hereby are barred from asserting such Liens and Claims against the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, or against the Purchased Assets.

8. The Selling Debtors are hereby authorized and directed in accordance with Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code to (a) assume, sell and assign to the Purchaser each of the Assumed Contracts free and clear of all Liens and Claims, other than Cure Amounts included

12

in the Assumed Liabilities, and (b) execute and deliver to the Purchaser such documents or other instruments as may be necessary to assign and transfer the Assumed Contracts to the Purchaser.

9. The Assumed Contracts shall, upon assignment to the Purchaser and the payment of the applicable Cure Amounts, be valid and binding and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

10. If any defaults under any Assumed Contracts or any objections to any applicable Cure Amounts existing as of the date of the Sale Hearing have not been raised or asserted prior to the Sale Hearing, the non-debtor parties to each such Assumed Contract arc hereby barred and enjoined from asserting against the Selling Debtors or the Purchaser (and their respective successors and assigns) any such defaults or objections. The Purchaser shall pay any amounts accruing under the Assumed Contracts on or after the date of the Sale Hearing.

11. If any person or entity that has filed any mortgages, deeds of trust, financing statements, or other documents or agreements evidencing Liens on any Purchased Assets shall not have delivered to the Selling Debtors prior to the Closing, in proper form for filing and executed by the appropriate parties, termination statements, instruments of satisfaction, or releases of all Liens which the person or entity has with respect to any Purchased Assets, then the Purchaser hereby is authorized to execute and file statements, instruments, releases, and other documents on behalf of the person or entity with respect to such Purchased Assets, provided that, in respect of the Lenders’ Liens, the Purchaser shall consult with the Agent’s counsel in the preparation of any such documents. The foregoing notwithstanding, the provisions of the Order authorizing the sale and assignment of the Purchased Assets free and

13

clear of Liens and Claims (other than the Assumed Liabilities) shall be self-executing, and notwithstanding the failure of any of the Debtors, the Purchaser, or any other party to execute, file or obtain releases, termination statements, assignments, consents, or other instruments to effectuate, consummate, and/or implement the provisions hereof or the Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to the sale and assignment of the Purchased Assets, all Liens on the Purchased Assets shall be deemed divested, void and unenforceable. All persons or entities who are presently, or at any time hereafter prior to the transfer to the Purchaser, in possession of any of the Purchased Assets are hereby directed to surrender possession of any of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser at the Closing.

12. This Order shall be binding upon the Debtors, their respective successors and assigns and any trustee that may be appointed in these cases or in any case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to which any such case may be converted, and any affected third parties, including without limitation all non-Debtor parties to any Assumed Contracts, all persons and entities asserting any Claims against or interests in the Debtors’ estates or any of the Purchased Assets and all other persons and entities, including without limitation, all filing agents, filing officers, title agents, title companies, recorders of mortgages, recorders of deeds, registrars of deeds, administrative agencies, governmental departments, secretaries of state, federal, state and local officials, and all other persons or entities who may be required by operation of law or by the duties of their office or contract to accept, file, register, or otherwise record or release any documents or instruments, or who may be required to report to or insure title or state of title in or to any of the Purchased Assets.

13. Upon the Closing, the Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Liabilities in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Other than the Assumed

14

Liabilities, none of the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, or any affiliate of such entity shall have any liability, duty or responsibility for any Claims, administrative expenses, or other liabilities against the Debtors or any of the Debtors’ predecessors or affiliates of any kind or character, whether known or unknown as of the Closing, now existing or hereafter arising, whether fixed or contingent.

14. From and after entry of this Order, no Debtor or any of its respective creditors or other parties in interest shall take or cause to be taken any action that would interfere with the transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Order.

15. The Purchaser is a purchaser in good faith of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Contracts and is entitled to all of the protections afforded by Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.

16. In the absence of a stay pending appeal, the Purchaser will be acting in good faith within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code in closing the Sale as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, including the assumption, sale and assignment of the Assumed Contracts, at any time after the entry of this Order and, accordingly, such closing in the face of an appeal will not deprive the Purchaser of its status as a good-faith purchaser. If the parties to the Sale consummate the transactions contemplated thereby while an appeal of this Order is pending, the Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon the protections of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, absent any stay pending appeal granted by a court of competent jurisdiction prior to such consummation.

17. The Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets is fair and reasonable and the Sale shall not be avoided under Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

15

18. All persons are hereby enjoined from asserting, prosecuting or otherwise pursuing any Claim against the Purchaser, any of its successors, or assigns, or any of its affiliates, agents, counsel, or advisors, and from recovering any Claim such person had, has or may have (other than an Assumed Liability) against the Purchaser, or any of its affiliates, agents, counsel, or advisors in connection with the negotiation of or any agreements contained in, the Asset Purchase Agreement.

19. From and after entry of this Order, (i) each Debtor, each party in interest in these cases, and each other party that was provided with notice of the Sale Motion (and each of their respective successors and assigns) hereby fully and forever releases, relieves, waives, relinquishes, and discharges each of the Purchaser and its present, former and future directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, advisors, shareholders, members, subsidiaries, affiliates, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns from, against and with respect to any and all actual or potential demands, Claims, actions, causes of action (including derivative causes of action and claims released in Section 13.22 of the Asset Purchase Agreement), suits, assessments, liabilities, losses, costs, damages, penalties, charges, expenses, and all other forms of liability whatsoever, in law or equity, whether asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, now existing or hereafter arising that any such person ever had, now has or hereafter may have relating in any way to any of the Debtors or their respective predecessors or estates based in whole or in part upon any act, omission, or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the date of the Closing, but expressly excluding any rights or obligations expressly set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement; and (ii) the Purchaser, for itself and its successors and assigns hereby releases any and all Claims it may have for contribution, indemnity or reimbursement in respect of environmental liabilities related to the

16

Purchased Assets; provided, however, that any such Claims shall not be released only to the extent that the Purchaser may recover such Claims solely from the proceeds of any insurance policies assigned to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1(i)(3) of the Asset Purchase Agreement subject to the Debtor’s rights under § 1.1(i)(3) of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this order shall not limit the liability of the Purchaser or any of its affiliates under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

20. As of the time and date of the Closing, all agreements of any kind whatsoever and all orders of this Court entered prior to the date hereof shall be deemed amended and/or modified to the extent required to permit the consummation of the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

21. Pursuant to paragraph 9(d) of the Bid Procedures Order, the Three Highest Bids shall remain open and irrevocable through the earlier of March 1, 2004, or the Closing.

22. This Court retains jurisdiction to (i) enforce and implement the terms and provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, all amendments thereto and any waivers and consents thereunder, (ii) compel delivery of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, (iii) resolve any disputes arising under or related to the Asset Purchase Agreement, except as otherwise provided therein, and (iv) interpret, implement and enforce the provisions of this Order.

23. The Asset Purchase Agreement and any related agreements, documents, or other instruments may be waived, modified, amended or supplemented by the parties thereto in accordance with the terms thereof without further order of the Court; provided that any such waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement (a) does not adversely affect either of the Debtors or their estates or (b) is agreed to in writing by the Debtors, the Committee and the Agent.

17

24. Neither anything contained in any plan of reorganization (or liquidation) confirmed in any of the Debtors’ cases or the Order of Confirmation confirming any plan of reorganization (or liquidation), nor any Order dismissing any of the Debtors’ cases or converting any of the Debtors’ cases to a Chapter 7 liquidation, shall conflict with or derogate from the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement or the terms of this Order. Further, the provisions of this Order and any actions taken pursuant hereto shall survive the entry of any Order which may be entered confirming any plan of reorganization (or liquidation) for the Debtors or converting any of the Debtors’ cases from Chapter 11 to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

25. As provided by Bankruptcy Rule 6004(g), this Order shall be effective and enforceable immediately upon entry.
