carry on business required in respect of the operations of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries, except for those with which the failure to comply or maintain

of ERISA on or before the due date, (viii) application by Holdings or a
Subsidiary for a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the

cause each of its Subsidiaries to, qualify and remain qualified to conduct
business in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business of or ownership

into or consolidate with any other Wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company in a
transaction in which the surviving entity is a Wholly owned Subsidiary and (z)

it shall first have given to each Investor 20 days written notice thereof.
Holdings further covenants that each Investor shall have the right, at any time
when it may reasonably be deemed by such Investor or Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries to be a controlling person of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries,
to participate in the preparation of such registration statement (regardless of
whether or not an Investor will be a selling security holder in connection with
such registration statement) and to request the insertion therein of material
furnished to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in writing which in such
Investor's reasonable judgment should be included. In connection with any
registration statement referred to in this paragraph 4M, Holdings will indemnify
each Investor, its partners, officers and directors and each person, if any, who
controls such Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
(collectively, the "Investor Parties"), against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or
prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or
11
alleged omission contained in written information furnished to Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries by such Investor Parties expressly for use in such
registration statement. If, in connection with any such registration statement,
such Investor Parties shall furnish written information to Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries expressly for use in the registration statement, such Investor
will indemnify Holdings, its directors, each of its officers who signs such
registration statement and each person, if any, who controls Holdings within the
meaning of the Securities Act against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to
be stated in the registration statement or prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission is
contained in information so furnished in writing by such Investor for use
therein. The provisions of this paragraph 4M are in addition to, and not in
limitation of, the provisions of the Shareholder Agreement.
4N. Notices of Certain Events. Holdings shall promptly give notice to each
holder of Securities (i) of any default or event of default under any
contractual obligation of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries if such default or
event of default, individually or in the aggregate, relates to a contractual
obligation equal to or in excess of $250,000 or (ii) of any pending or
threatened litigation, investigation or proceeding to which Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries is or is threatened to be a party which, if such pending or
threatened litigation, investigation or proceeding were adversely determined,
would create a liability of Holdings or its Subsidiaries equal to or in excess
of $250,000 that is not fully covered by insurance held by Holdings or its
Subsidiaries. Any notice delivered pursuant to this paragraph 4N shall be
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate specifying the details of the occurrence
referred to therein and stating what action Holdings proposes to take with
respect thereto.
4O. Board Nominee. As long as the Investors as a group hold either (i)
fifteen percent (15%) of the sum of (A) the shares of Common Stock issued to
them on the Closing Date and (B) the Warrants and/or the underlying shares of
Common Stock issued to them on the Closing Date or (ii) twenty five percent
(25%) of the shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock issued to them on the
Closing Date, then the Investors shall collectively have the right to designate
one (1) member to the Board of Directors of Holdings. Any director designated by
the Investors shall receive (A) all materials distributed to the Board of
Directors of Holdings whether provided to directors in advance of, during or
after, any meeting of the applicable Board of Directors, regardless of whether
such director shall be in attendance at any such meeting, (B) the same
compensation other
12
outside members of the Board of Directors of Holdings shall receive in his or
her capacity as a director and (C) reimbursement of the reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses of such director incurred in attending the meetings of the Board of
Directors of Holdings. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "Investors"
shall mean the Investors on the Closing Date.
4P. Special Purpose Corporation. Holdings will not engage in any activity,
issue any securities, incur any Indebtedness for borrowed money or incur any
other material liability, or create or permit to exist any Lien on its assets,
other than the ownership of the Common Stock and related de minimus activities
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Holdings may (i)
engage in any activity incidental to the maintenance of the corporate existence
of Holdings and compliance with applicable law, (ii) enter into and perform the
obligations of Holdings under the Related Documents (including without
limitation the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to the Shareholder
Agreement), (iii) enter into (or issue, as applicable), perform the obligations
of Holdings under and exercise the rights of Holdings under the Hamilton
Preferred Stock and stock options exercisable for common stock of Holdings or
Sunderland Industrial Holdings Corporation granted to employees of the Company
and (iv) issue additional shares of Common Stock, so long as 100% of the net
cash proceeds of any such issuance are contributed by Holdings to the capital of
the Company or are used to repay any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the
Shareholder Agreement.
4Q. Environmental Laws. (i) Holdings will comply with, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to comply with, and use its reasonable best efforts to
ensure compliance by all tenants and subtenants and with respect to all of its
assets with, all licenses, permits and other authorizations required under all
applicable laws, regulations and other lawful requirements of Governmental
Authorities relating to pollution or to the protection of the environment (the
"Environmental Laws") and obtain and comply with and maintain, and use its best
efforts to ensure that all tenants and subtenants obtain and comply with and
maintain, any and all licenses, approvals, registrations or permits required by
Environmental Laws, except to the extent that failure to so comply or to obtain
and comply with and maintain such licenses, approvals, registrations and permits
does not have, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material
Adverse Effect.
(ii) Holdings will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, conduct and
complete all investigations, studies, sampling and testing, and all remedial,
removal and other actions, required under Environmental Laws and timely comply
with all lawful orders and directives of all Governmental Authorities with
respect to Environmental Laws, except to the extent that the same are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the pendency of such
proceedings
13
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) Holdings will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, notify the
holders of the Securities of any of the following that is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect:
(a) any claim with respect to any Environmental Law that Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries receives, including one to take or pay for any
remedial, removal, response or cleanup or other action with respect to any
hazardous substance, hazardous waste, contaminant, pollutant or toxic
substance (as such terms are defined in any applicable Environmental Law)
(collectively, "Hazardous Substances") contained on or generated from any
property owned or leased by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries;
(b) any notice of any alleged violation of or knowledge by Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries of a condition that might reasonably result in a
violation of any Environmental Law; and
(c) any commencement of or receipt of written intent to commence any
judicial or administrative proceeding or investigation alleging a violation
or potential violation of any requirement of any Environmental Law by
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.
(b) Without limiting the generality of paragraph 8B, Holdings will, and
will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, indemnify the Investors and each holder
from time to time of the Securities and each of their respective directors,
officers, employees, agents, partners and Affiliates (each such person being
called an "Indemnitee" and collectively, the "Indemnitees") against, and hold
each Indemnitee harmless from, any claims, demands, penalties, fines,
liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees, charges and disbursements) of whatever kind or nature arising out
of, or in any way relating to, the violation of, noncompliance with or liability
under any Environmental Laws applicable to the operations of Holdings or any
orders, requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities related thereto,
including, without limitation, attorneys' and consultants' fees, investigation
and laboratory fees, Response Costs (as such term is defined in CERCLA), court
costs and litigation expenses, except to the extent that any of the foregoing
are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Indemnitee seeking indemnification therefor.
4R. Confidentiality. As to so much of the information and other material
furnished under or in connection with this Agreement (whether furnished before,
on or after the date hereof, including without limitation information furnished
pursuant to
14
paragraphs 4A and 4C hereof) as constitutes or contains confidential business,
financial or other information of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, each of the
Investors covenants for itself and its directors, officers and partners that it
will use due care to prevent its officers, directors, partners, employees,
counsel, accountants and other representatives from disclosing such information
to Persons other than their respective authorized employees, counsel,
accountants, stockholders, partners, limited partners and other authorized
representatives; provided, however, that each Investor may disclose or deliver
any information or other material disclosed to or received by it should such
Investor be advised by its counsel that such disclosure or delivery is required
by law, regulation or judicial or administrative order. For purposes of this
paragraph 4Q, "due care" means at least the same level of care that such
Investor would use to protect the confidentiality of its own sensitive or
proprietary information.
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDINGS AND THE COMPANY. Each of
Holdings and the Company represents and warrants to each Investor, in each case
after giving effect to the Acquisition, that:
5A. Organization, Qualification and Authority. Each of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its
business makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to so
qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries has the corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its
business as now being conducted. Each of Holdings and the Company has all
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
issue and sell its respective Securities hereunder. Holdings has all requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into the Warrant Purchase Agreement and
the Shareholder Agreement and to issue and sell its Warrants under the Warrant
Purchase Agreement. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority
to file the Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware. Holdings has the requisite corporate power and authority to issue
the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants. Each of Holdings and
the Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to carry out the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to be performed by it, and the
execution, delivery and performance hereof and thereof have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action. This Agreement constitutes, and each other
agreement (including the Warrant Purchase Agreement and the Shareholder
Agreement) or instrument (including the Securities) executed and delivered by
Holdings and the Company pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or
therewith will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of Holdings and
15
the Company enforceable against Holdings and the Company in accordance with
their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (b) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law).
5B. Financial Statements.
(i) The Company has furnished the Investors with the audited balance sheet
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, together with the
related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flow of
the Company and its Subsidiaries for such period. Such financial statements
(including any related schedules and notes) have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period in question and show all
material liabilities, except as set forth on Schedule 5B hereto, direct or
contingent, required to be shown in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the period in question and fairly present, in all material respects,
the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(ii) The Company has furnished the Investors with the unaudited balance
sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, after giving
pro forma effect to the Acquisition. Such pro forma balance sheet has been
prepared by the Company in good faith, based upon assumptions used to prepare
the pro forma financial information contained in the Confidential Information
Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by the Company on the date hereof and
on the Closing Date to be reasonable), is based on the best information
available to the Company as of the date of delivery thereof, accurately reflects
all material adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Acquisition
and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated consolidated financial
position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, assuming
that the Acquisition had actually occurred on that date. The Company has no
reason to believe that such pro forma balance sheet is misleading in any
material respect in light of the circumstances existing at the time of the
preparation thereof.
(iii) There has been no material adverse change in the business, condition
(financial or other), assets, properties, rights, operations or prospects of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 31, 1995.
5C. Capital Stock and Related Matters. As of the Closing Date, and after
giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and pursuant to the
Related Documents, the capitalization of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries
is set forth on Schedule 5C. All issued and outstanding shares of
16
Holdings and the Company shall have been duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and no shares of capital stock of Holdings will be owned or held
by or for the account of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.
Except as set forth on Schedule 5C hereto, (i) neither Holdings nor any of
its Subsidiaries will have outstanding any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for any shares of capital stock or any rights (either preemptive or
other) to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, or
any agreements providing for the issuance (contingent or otherwise) of, or any
calls, commitments or claims of any other character relating to the issuance of,
any capital stock, or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable
for any capital stock and (ii) neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries will
be subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or
otherwise acquire or retire any shares of its capital stock or warrants or
options to purchase shares of its capital stock.
Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is a party to any
agreement (other than this Agreement and the Shareholder Agreement) restricting
the transfer of any shares of its capital stock except as set forth on Schedule
5C hereto or (ii) will have filed or be required to file, pursuant to Section 12
of the Exchange Act, a registration statement relating to any class of debt or
equity securities as of the date hereof.
5D. Actions Pending. Except as set forth on Schedule 5D hereto, there is no
action, suit, investigation or proceeding upon which service of process or other
actual notice has been received that is pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings
or the Company, threatened against Holdings or any of its respective
Subsidiaries or any of their properties or rights, by or before any court,
arbitrator or administrative or governmental body, which if adversely decided,
could have a Material Adverse Effect.
5E. Outstanding Debt; Defaults. Except as set forth on Schedule 5E hereto,
neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in default under the
provisions of any instrument evidencing Indebtedness or of any agreement
relating thereto, (ii) is in default under its Certificate of Incorporation (as
amended to date) or By-laws, (iii) is in violation of or in default under or
with respect to any indenture, mortgage, lease or any other contract or
agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound
or affected in any respect which could have a Material Adverse Effect or (iv) is
in material default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any
court or any Federal, state, municipal or other domestic or foreign governmental
department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, and there
exists no condition, event or act which constitutes, or which after notice,
lapse of time, or both, would constitute, such a violation or default under any
of the foregoing.
17
5F. Title to Properties. Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries has (i)
marketable, sufficient and legal title to its real property (other than real
properties which it leases from others) and (ii) good title to all of its other
properties and assets (other than properties and assets which it leases from
others), in both cases subject to no Lien of any kind except Liens permitted
pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Senior Credit Agreement. Each of Holdings and
its Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all leases
necessary in any material respect for the operation of its properties and assets
and all such leases are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect.
5G. Taxes. Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries has filed all Federal,
state and other income tax returns which are required to be filed, and each has
paid all taxes as shown on said returns and on all assessments received by it to
the extent that such taxes have become due, or except such as any of the
foregoing are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which
adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP; and no tax lien
has been filed and no claim is being asserted with respect to any tax or other
similar charge. To the extent (and only to the extent) that the foregoing
representations of this paragraph 5G apply to liabilities related to the
Acquired Companies, which liabilities constitute "Retained Liabilities" under
the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 11, 1996, by and between Tredegar
Investments, Inc. and Precise Technology, Inc., such representations are made to
the knowledge of Holdings and the Company and shall not be deemed violated by
any matter that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, notwithstanding the
express terms of such representations.
5H. Conflicting Agreements. Except as set forth on Schedule 5H hereto,
neither the execution or delivery of the Related Documents nor the offering,
issuance and sale of the Securities or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, nor fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and
provisions hereof and thereof, will conflict in any material respect with, or
result in a material breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a material default under, or result in any material violation of, or
result in the creation of any material Lien upon any of the properties or assets
of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to (i) the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) any
award of any arbitrator or any material agreement (including any agreement with
stockholders), instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or
regulation to which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is subject. Except as
set forth on Schedule 5H hereto, neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is
a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument
evidencing Indebtedness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, any material
18
agreement relating thereto or any other contract or agreement (including its
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws) which contains dividend or redemption
limitations on any capital stock of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, except
for the Related Documents.
5I. Offering of Securities. The offer, sale and issuance of the Securities
pursuant to this Agreement and the issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise of
the Warrants, do not require registration of such securities under the
Securities Act or registration or qualification under any applicable state "blue
sky" or securities laws (or if so required, has been so registered or
qualified). Neither Holdings nor the Company have taken any action which would
subject the issuance or sale of any of the Securities to the provisions of
Section 5 of the Securities Act or violate the provisions of any securities or
"blue sky" law of any applicable jurisdiction.
5J. Broker's or Finder's Commissions. Except for the fee to be paid to
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation for services rendered by it
as placement agent, no broker's or finder's fee or commission will be payable by
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the issuance and sale of the
Securities or the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Related
Documents.
5K. Regulation G, etc. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries owns or
has any present intention of acquiring, any "margin stock" as defined in
Regulation G (12 CFR Part 207) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (herein called a "margin stock"). None of the proceeds resulting from the
sale of the Securities will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any margin stock or for the purpose of reducing or
retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry
margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a
"purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulation G. Neither Holdings nor any of
its Subsidiaries nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any
action which might cause this Agreement or the Securities to violate Regulation
G, Regulation T, Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in
effect now or as the same may hereafter be in effect.
5L. Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 5L hereto, to
the best knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower:

licenses, permits and other authorizations required under all Environmental
Laws, with the exceptions of instances that will not in the aggregate result in
any Material Adverse Effect.

notice of any failure to comply with any applicable Environmental Law that has
not been fully satisfied so as to bring the subject property into material
compliance with, all Environmental Laws.

required under any Environmental Law for the business of Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries have been obtained and Holdings and its Subsidiaries will be in
compliance therewith, except in such instances as will not in the aggregate
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(iv) Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is in noncompliance with,
breach of or default under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction or
decree where such noncompliance, breach or default would materially and
adversely affect the ability of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to operate
any real property owned or leased by them and no event has occurred and is
continuing that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would
constitute such noncompliance, breach or default thereunder.
(v) Except in such instances that will not in the aggregate result in a
Material Adverse Effect, (A) no Hazardous Substance has been Released (as such
term is defined in CERCLA) (and no oral or written notification of such Release
has been filed) (whether or not in a reportable or threshold planning quantity)
at, on or under any property owned or leased by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries, or to be acquired or leased by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries, during the period of Holdings' or any of its Subsidiaries'
ownership or lease of such property, or to the knowledge of holdings at any time
previous to such ownership or lease, under conditions that require remedial
action under applicable Environmental Laws and (B) no property now or previously
owned or leased by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries has, directly or
indirectly, transported or arranged for the transportation of any Hazardous
Substances to any site listed, or proposed for listing, on the National
Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, on CERCLIS (as defined in
CERCLA) or on any similar Federal, state or foreign list of sites requiring
investigation or cleanup. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware
of any event, condition or circumstance involving environmental pollution or
contamination, or employee safety or health relating to the use or handling of,
or exposure to, Hazardous Substances, that could result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
5M. ERISA. Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries has fulfilled their
respective obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code
with respect to each Pension Plan and is in compliance in all material respects
with the provisions of ERISA and the Code. Neither Holdings nor any of its
Subsidiaries has incurred any liability to the PBGC (other than
20
annual premiums due to the PBGC) or a Pension Plan under Title IV of ERISA. The
execution and delivery by Holdings and the Company of this Agreement and the
purchase and delivery of the Securities will not involve any prohibited
transaction within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code for which a
statutory or administrative exemption is not available. Holdings has delivered
to the Investors a complete list and accurate description of each Pension Plan
or ocher employee benefit plan covered by ERISA maintained or contributed to by
Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries.
5N. Possession of Franchises, Licenses, etc. Holdings and each of its
Subsidiaries possesses all franchises, certificates, licenses, permits and other
authorizations from governmental political subdivisions or regulatory
authorities, that are necessary for the ownership, maintenance and operation of
its properties and assets, except where the failure to be in such compliance
would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and Holdings and each of its
Subsidiaries is not in violation of any thereof in any material respect.
5O. Patents, etc. Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries owns or has the
right to use all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
industrial designs, licenses and other rights, free from non-customary
burdensome restrictions, which are necessary for the operation of its business

part or other material presently sold by or employed by Holdings in connection
with its business may infringe any patent, trademark, service mark, trade name,
copyright, industrial design, license or other right owned by any other Person.
No claim or litigation is pending or threatened against or affecting Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries contesting their right to sell or use any such product,
process, method, substance, part or other material which would prevent, inhibit
or render obsolete the production or sale of any products of, or substantially

delivery of the Securities being purchased by the Investors hereunder is such as
to require on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries any consent,

other documents, certificates and written statements furnished to the Investors

purchased pursuant hereto together with the shares of Common Stock obtained

6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTORS. Each Investor
represents and warrants that it is an "accredited investor," as such term is
defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the
Securities to be purchased by it hereunder for its own account for the purpose
of investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any

SCHEDULE 5B
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In December, 1995, based upon a complaint received from Mentholatum,
Tredegar Molded Products Company ("Tredegar") became aware of a potential
screw back-out problem with respect to the 1/2" stick being produced at its
Graham, NC plant. In January, 1996, as Tredegar was still in the process of
investigating the nature and extent of the potential problem, it received
two complaints from a second customer, Kaufman Containers, a distributor.
Kaufman Containers indicated that one of its customers, Accupack, had
experienced some instances of the screw backing out of the assembly during
filling. During January, 1996, Tredegar identified the source of the
problem. Corrective action was immediately taken. The body mold was pulled
from production and modified at the end of January.
Tredegar sold approximately 7.2 million sticks prior to correcting the
mold. An additional 1 million sticks held in inventory have been destroyed.
With respect to Kaufman Containers' complaints, it appears that the screw
back-out problems arose when the sticks were filled with material of a waxy
consistency. Approximately 3,842,000 sticks with the potential back-out
problem were shipped to Kaufman Containers. The problems encountered by
Kaufman Containers' other customers have not been significant enough to
prompt a product return. The majority of this product is sold to Bonnie
Bell. The consistency of Bonnie Bell's product is soft. Repeated internal
testing and testing of customer filled samples indicated screw back-out to
be minimal to non-existent. (Mentholatum was only provided product samples
for testing and did not purchase any of the sticks).
On February 27, 1996, Tredegar received a complaint from Kato Laboratories
citing a screw back-out problem. Kato Laboratories has requested a product
return of all 50,000 sticks (order no. 0278255) shipped to it from the
Graham plant during the period in question. The Company has provided
replacement product to Kato Laboratories that has been accepted by Kato
Laboratories. Kato Laboratories has released the Company from any losses
resulting from that order (order no. 0278255).
2. Tredegar encountered certain assembly problems with a new Hoppman machine
(SO3) at Tredegar's Graham, NC plant. Hoppman personnel were brought in to
address the problems. Tredegar attributes the problems to the Hoppman
equipment and considers the work conducted by the Hoppman personnel within
the parameters of the purchase price of the equipment. Nonetheless, Hoppman
has billed Tredegar approximately $70,000 for the work. Tredegar is
reviewing the charges and has not yet paid the bill.
3. Any liability arising under the following litigation, all of which are more
fully described on Schedule 5D: (a) Robert M. Smith v. Unity Mold
Corporation, Cook County Illinois Circuit Court, Case No. 94L08051, (b)
June Garcia v. Unity Mold Corporation, Cook County Illinois Circuit Court,
Case No. 94L16848, (c) Sandra van Etten v. Ferdinand Soto and Tredegar
Molded Products Company, Worcester County, Massachusetts Superior Court,
Case No., 95-2022, and (d) United States of America v. Fairchild
Industries, Inc., et al., Case No. JFM-88-2933, United States District
Court for the District of Maryland.
4. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party in two
adjacent New York waste sites, the Envirotek II Superfund Site and the
Roblin Steel Site. The Envirotek II Site is a U.S. EPA-lead site. As a "de
minimis" party, the Company has entered into an Administrative Order on
Consent with U.S. EPA and a "PRP Participation and Funding Agreement" with
other site PRPs, and has performed its obligations thereunder. The clean-
up at the site is reported to be complete. Because of its involvement as a
PRP in the Envirotek II Site, the State of New York has identified the
Company as a PRP at the adjacent Roblin Steel Site, with respect to any
contamination that may have migrated to the Roblin Steel Site from the
Envirotek II Site. The Company has joined with other PRPs in a
participation agreement and believes that any potential liability at this
site will be apportioned to the Company as a "de minimis" party.
5. In 1991, Tredegar sold injection-molding assets and real estate located in
Chicago, Illinois to the assignees of Inhalation Plastics, Inc. Tredegar's
contract indemnification obligations are limited to claims "arising or
accruing" prior to two years after the closing date, except for matters
disclosed in an environmental report delivered at closing, for which there
is no time limit on Tredegar's indemnification obligations. To the
Company's knowledge, no claims have been made pertaining thereto.
6. In May, 1994, Tredegar sold real estate and an injection-molding facility
located in LaGrange, Kentucky. Significant site assessment and remediation
activities were conducted before closing. Tredegar indemnified the buyer
from all costs and liabilities resulting from on-site contamination
existing as of closing, with no time or dollar limitations. To the
Company's knowledge, no claims have been made pertaining thereto.
7. Any environmental liabilities, product claims and indemnification
liabilities retained by Tredegar in the agreement governing the sale of its
former beverage closure assets and business to Crown Cork & Seal Company,
Inc. To the Company's knowledge, no claims have been made pertaining
thereto.
EXCLUDED FROM THIS SCHEDULE 5B ARE ANY LIABILITIES WHICH MIGHT BE CONTINGENT
