the knowledge of the Company, there are no pending or threatened

Adverse Effect.
(m) Insurance. Schedule 4(m) of the Disclosure Schedule
lists each insurance policy owned and maintained by the Company or any
Subsidiary which requires aggregate premium payments (other than
retroactive or retrospective premium adjustments or other payments
that may be required under the relevant policy that are not, but may
be, required to be repaid) by the Company or any Subsidiary over the

nor any Subsidiary has been involved in any transaction that is likely
to cause the Company or any such Subsidiary to be subject to liability
with respect to a Title IV Plan or any other plan subject to Title IV
of ERISA to which the Company or any Subsidiary contributed or was
obligated to contribute during the six year period ending on the
Closing Date under Section 4062 or 4069 of ERISA. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has incurred any material liability under Title IV

Corporation Salaried Employees Pension Plan effective as of January 1,
1996, as of the close of business on June 27, 1996, no material
adverse change in the funding status of any of the defined benefit
plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has occurred since the
most recent actuarial valuation report with respect to any such plan.
(iv) Except as set forth in Schedule 4(n) of the Disclosure
Schedule, each Plan that is intended to be "qualified" within the
meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code has been the subject of a
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect
that such Plan is qualified and exempt from Federal income taxes under
Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code, and no such
determination letter has been revoked nor, to the knowledge of the
Company, has revocation been threatened.
Page 27 of 63
(v) None of the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge
of the Company, any of the Plans, any trust created thereunder or any
trustee or administrator thereof, has knowingly engaged in a
transaction in connection with which the Company or any Subsidiary is
likely to be subject to either a material liability or a material
civil penalty assessed pursuant to Sections 409 or 502(i) or (1) of
ERISA or a material tax imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the Code.
Each of the Plans has been operated and administered in all material
respects in accordance with applicable laws, including but not limited
to ERISA and the Code. There are no material pending or, to the best
knowledge of the Company, threatened claims by or on behalf of any of
the Plans, by any employee or beneficiary covered under any such Plan,
or otherwise involving any such Plan (other than routine claims for
benefits).
(vi) No condition exists and no event has occurred with
respect to any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3)
of ERISA) with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary is
obligated to make contributions pursuant to a collective bargaining
agreement that presents a material risk of a complete or partial
withdrawal under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, nor has the Company
or any Subsidiary been notified that any such multiemployer plan is
insolvent or in reorganization within the meaning of Section 4241 of
ERISA. Except as set forth in Schedule 4(n) of the Disclosure
Schedule, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated to
contribute, on behalf of any current or former employee of the
Company, to a multiemployer plan.
(vii) Except as set forth in Schedule 4(n) of the Disclosure
Schedule, none of the Plans provides for or promises retiree medical,
disability or life insurance benefits to any current or former
employee, officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary.
(viii) The Company and the Subsidiaries have not incurred
any liability under, and have complied in all material respects with,
the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and the
regulations promulgated thereunder and do not reasonably expect to
incur any such liability as a result of actions taken or not taken
prior to the Closing Date.
(ix) The Options. No payment to holders of Options listed in
Appendix 1 in connection with the cash-out of their respective Options
pursuant to Section 6(d) will fail to be deductible by reason of
Section 280G of the Code.

and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than changes relating to
United States or foreign economies in general or the Company's and the
Subsidiaries' industries in general and not specifically relating to
the Company or a Subsidiary. Buyer acknowledges that there may have
been disruption to the Company's and the Subsidiaries' business as a
result of the marketing of the Company by Sellers to potential buyers
(and there may be disruption to the Company's and the Subsidiaries'
business as a result of the execution of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), and Buyer
agrees that such disruptions do not and shall not constitute a breach
of this Section 4(o). Except as set forth in Schedule 4(o) of the
Disclosure Schedule, from December 31, 1995 to the date of this
Agreement, the Company has caused its business and the business of the
Subsidiaries to be conducted in the ordinary course consistent with
past practice and has not done any of the things enumerated in clauses

Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable statutes, laws,
ordinances, rules, orders and regulations of any Governmental Entity
("Applicable Laws"), including those relating to occupational health
and safety except for any such instances of noncompliance that,
individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse

the liquidation preference thereof and all accrued and unpaid

the Closing Date, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement will result in (1) the Term Loan Facility becoming

covenants under the Credit Facility which, if continued unremedied for
a period of at least 30 days after notice to the Company, could result
in the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility becoming
immediately due and payable, which in turn would trigger a default
under the 12.25% Notes, which, if continued for 10 days after notice
thereof to Overhead Door Corporation, could trigger an acceleration of
the 12.25% Notes; (ii) neither the Company nor the Sellers has sought
or is required to seek such a waiver or amendment as a condition to
the Buyer's obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated
hereby; and (iii) Buyer shall as of the Closing either (x) provide
Overhead Door Corporation with funds necessary for Overhead Door
Corporation to repay, and cause Overhead Door Corporation to repay, in
full the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (y)
obtain a waiver of any breaches of the provisions of the Credit
Facility that occur or with the passage of time or notice or both will
occur as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and a waiver of the applicability of any change of
control provisions of the Credit Facility.
9. Mutual Covenants. Each of the parties covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) Consents. Prior to the Closing, (i) the Company shall,
and shall cause the Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts
to obtain all consents and waivers from, and to provide such notices
to, third parties as may be required, or as Buyer may deem reasonably
necessary, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and (ii) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all
Governmental Entities and officials that are necessary for the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company
and the Sellers, and the Company will cooperate fully with the Buyer
in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents,
orders and approvals; provided, however, that such reasonable best
efforts shall not include any requirement that the Company or the
Subsidiaries expend money, commence or participate in any litigation
or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any
third party. Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer,
upon the request of Buyer, in any reasonable manner in connection with
Buyer obtaining any such consents and waivers; provided, however, that
Page 43 of 63
such cooperation shall not include any requirement of Sellers or any
of their respective affiliates (including the Company and the
Subsidiaries) to expend money, commence or participate in any
litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or
otherwise) to any third party.
(b) After the Closing, upon reasonable written notice, Buyer
on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall furnish or
cause to be furnished to each other and their employees, counsel,
auditors and representatives access, during normal business hours, to
such information and assistance relating to the Company and the
Subsidiaries as is reasonably necessary for financial reporting and
accounting matters, the preparation and filing of any tax returns,
reports or forms or the defense of any tax claim or assessment. Each
party shall reimburse any other party for reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred in assisting such party pursuant to this
Section 9(b). No party shall be required by this Section 9(b) to take
any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its
business, as presently conducted, or, in the case of certain of the
Sellers, their personal affairs or unreasonably disrupt the normal
operations of the Company, the Subsidiaries or Buyer.
(c) Publicity. The Company, Sellers and Buyer agree that,
from the date hereof through the Closing Date, no public release or
announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
issued by any party without the prior consent of the other parties
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such
release or announcement may be required by law or the rules or
regulations of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in
which case the party required to make the release or announcement
shall allow the other parties reasonable time to comment on such
release or announcement in advance of such issuance.
(d) Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions set forth in
Section 9(a)), each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the Closing to occur.
(e) Antitrust Notification. Bessemer and Buyer shall as
promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five business days
following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, file with the
United States Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and the United
States Department of Justice (the "DOJ") the notification and report
form, if any, required for the transactions contemplated hereby and
any supplemental information requested in connection therewith
Page 44 of 63
pursuant to the HSR Act. Any such notification and report form and
supplemental information shall be in substantial compliance with the
requirements of the HSR Act. Each of Bessemer, the Company and Buyer
shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable
assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation
of any filing or submission which is necessary under the HSR Act.
Bessemer and Buyer shall keep each other apprised of the status of any
communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional
information from, the FTC and the DOJ and shall comply promptly with
any such inquiry or request. Each of Bessemer, the Company and Buyer
shall use its best efforts to obtain any clearance required under the
HSR Act for the purchase and sale of the Shares; provided that Buyer
shall be solely responsible for any filing fees payable by Buyer under
the HSR Act.
(f) Supplemental Disclosure. Buyer shall promptly notify
Sellers of, and furnish each Seller any information such Seller may
reasonably request with respect to, the occurrence to Buyer's
knowledge, of any event or condition or the existence to Buyer's
knowledge, of any fact that would cause any of the conditions to
Sellers' obligations to consummate the sale of the Shares not to be
fulfilled. The Company and Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer of, and
furnish to Buyer any information Buyer may reasonably so request with
respect to the occurrence to the Company's or Sellers' knowledge, as
the case may be, of any event or condition or the existence to the
Company's or Sellers' knowledge, as the case may be, of any fact that
would cause any of the conditions to Buyer's obligations to consummate
the purchase of the Shares not to be fulfilled.
10. Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when
requested by a party hereto of another party hereto, the other party
shall use all reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, or cause to
be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and
shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions
(subject to the provisions of Section 9(a)), as may reasonably be
necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
11. Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and
obligations hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by any
party hereto (including by operation of law in connection with a
merger, or sale of substantially all the assets, of any party hereto)
without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto;
Page 45 of 63
provided, however, that Buyer may assign its right to purchase the
Shares hereunder to a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer without the
prior written consent of Sellers; provided further, however, that no
assignment shall limit or affect the assignor's obligations hereunder.
Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11 shall be
void.
12. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the
sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and
nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give
to any person, other than the parties hereto and such assigns, any
legal or equitable rights hereunder.
13. Termination. (a) Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated and the
transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the
Closing Date:
(i) by mutual written consent of Bessemer, on behalf of the
Sellers, and Buyer;
(ii) by Bessemer, on behalf of the Sellers, if any of the
conditions set forth in Section 3(b) shall have become incapable
of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by Sellers;
(iii) by Buyer if any of the conditions set forth in Section
3(a) shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not
have been waived by Buyer; or
(iv) by Bessemer, on behalf of the Sellers, or Buyer, if the
Closing does not occur on or prior to the later of August 1, 1996
and the fifth business day following the expiration or
termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act, unless
otherwise extended by Bessemer, on behalf of the Sellers, and the
Buyer;
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall not be available to any party
whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall
have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, such right of
termination.
(b) In the event of termination by Bessemer, on behalf of
the Sellers, or Buyer pursuant to this Section 13, written notice
thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated,
without further action by either party. If the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are terminated as provided herein:
(i) Buyer shall return all documents and other material
(including all copies thereof, whether maintained in hard copy,
Page 46 of 63
on computer disk or on computer hard drive) received from the
Company, any Subsidiary or Sellers relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the
execution hereof, to Bessemer;
(ii) all confidential information received by Buyer with
respect to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries shall
be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement,
which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
termination of this Agreement.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated and the transactions
contemplated hereby are abandoned as described in this Section 13,
this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect,
except for the provisions of (i) Section 8(a) relating to the
obligation of Buyer to keep confidential certain information and data
obtained by it, (ii) Section 15 relating to certain expenses, (iii)
Section 9(c) relating to publicity, (iv) Section 21 relating to
finder's fees and broker's fees, and (v) this Section 13. Nothing in
this Section 13 shall be deemed to release any party from any
liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement or to impair the right of any party to compel specific
performance by any other party of its obligations under this
Agreement.
14. Survival of Representations. The representations and
warranties in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant
hereto shall not survive the Closing.
15. Expenses. (a) Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, and except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, (i) all costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the fees and expenses of
Shearman & Sterling and Daiwa Securities Co. Ltd. shall be paid by
Buyer and (ii) all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the fees and expenses of Cravath, Swaine & Moore,
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Smith Barney Inc. and Ernst & Young
shall be paid by the Company, except that if the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement close on the Closing Date, then the
Page 47 of 63
fees and expenses of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated and Smith Barney Inc. shall be paid by the holders of
Shares who sell to Buyer at the Closing and the Option Holders who
agree to have their Options cancelled at the Closing, in each case on
a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Shares to be sold by
each holder of Shares and the number of Shares subject to the
Option(s) so held by each Option Holder, as the case may be.
(b) A party in breach of this Agreement shall, on demand,
indemnify and hold harmless any other party for and against all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, incurred by
such other party by reason of the enforcement and protection of its
rights under this Agreement. The payment of such expenses is in
addition to any other relief to which such other party may be
entitled.
16. Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in
respect of this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in
writing and signed by both Bessemer, on behalf of Sellers, and Buyer.
17. Notices. All notices or other communications required or

SANWA SHUTTER CORPORATION OF JAPAN TO ACQUIRE OVERHEAD DOOR
INCORPORATED
(Dallas, Texas, June 30, 1996) Overhead Door Incorporated
announced today that it has executed a definitive agreement with Sanwa
Shutter Corporation of Japan for the acquisition of all of its common
stock by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanwa.
Sanwa will pay approximately $470 million in cash to acquire
Overhead Door's common stock, options, and warrants and to redeem its
preferred stock. Sanwa has agreed to cause Overhead Door to refinance
its outstanding bank debt of approximately $155 million including
accrued interest, if required. Overhead Door's $85 million of 12.25%
Unsecured Senior Notes due February 1, 2000, will remain outstanding
on the acquisition date. Noteholders have the right to put their Notes
to Overhead Door at a price of 101% during a certain period following
a change in control. The acquisition is expected to close during July,
subject to clearance under the Hart Scott Rodino Act.
Overhead Door, headquartered in Dallas, is the leading
integrated door systems company in the United States. Formerly listed
on the New York Stock Exchange, the company, whose founder invented
the modern sectional garage door, was taken private in January, 1990
by Bessemer Holdings, L.P., an investment partnership headquartered in
New York, and members of Overhead Door's management. In August, 1994,
Overhead Door acquired GMI Holdings, manufacturer of Genie brand
electronic garage door operators. The company also manufactures
upward-acting commercial and industrial doors and operators, automated
pedestrian entrances under the Horton Automatics name, truck doors
under the TODCO name, as well as insulated panels and McGuire brand
loading dock equipment.
Sanwa Shutter, headquartered in Tokyo, is the leading door
systems company in Japan. It had a cross license agreement with
Overhead Door that expired in 1989.
Brian Bolton, Overhead Door's President and chief executive
officer, said: "We are delighted to be renewing our association with
Sanwa Shutter, one of Japan's premier companies, under the strong
Page 62 of 63
leadership of its chief executive and my good friend Toshitaka
Takayama. Overhead Door will continue its excellent record of growth
with Sanwa's valuable support."
Overhead Door's advisors in this matter are Morgan Stanley &
Co. Incorporated and Smith Barney Inc.
