Note 1: Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of LSB Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries. The Company is a diversified holding company which is engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the manufacture and sale of chemical products (the "Chemical Business"), the manufacture and sale of a broad range of air handling and heat pump products (the "Climate Control Business"), and the purchase and sale of machine tools (the "Industrial Products Business"). See Note 5 - Segment Information. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 2: Income Taxes At December 31, 2000, the Company had regular- tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $69.8 million (approximately $42.5 million alternative minimum tax NOLs), exclusive of NOL carryforwards attributable to Automotive entities sold in March 2001. See Note 6-Commitments and Contingencies. Certain amounts of regular-tax NOL carryforwards expire beginning in 2001. There was no income tax expense for the three-month periods associated with operations.

Note 3: Loss Per Share Net loss applicable to common stock is computed by adjusting the net loss by the amount of preferred stock dividends. Basic loss per common share is based upon the net loss applicable to common stock and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. All potentially dilutive securities were antidilutive for all periods presented.

For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors did not declare and pay the regular quarterly dividend of $.8125 on the Company's Series 2 $3.25 Convertible Class C preferred stock. Dividends in arrears at March 31, 2001, amounted to approximately $3.5 million. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors did not declare and pay the January 1, 2001 regular dividend on the Company's Series B 12% Convertible, Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends in arrears at March 31, 2001, related to the Company's Series B 12% Convertible, Cumulative Preferred Stock, amounted to approximately $.4 million.

Legal Matters

Following is a summary of certain legal actions involving the Company:

A. In 1987, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") notified one of the Company's subsidiaries, along with numerous other companies, of potential responsibility for clean-up of a waste disposal site in Oklahoma. In 1990, the EPA added the site to the National Priorities List. Following the remedial investigation and feasibility study, in 1992 the Regional Administrator of the EPA signed the Record of Decision ("ROD") for the site. The ROD detailed EPA's selected remedial action for the site and estimated the cost of the remedy at $3.6 million. In 1992, the Company made settlement proposals which would have entailed a collective payment by the subsidiaries of $47,000. The site owner rejected this offer and proposed a counteroffer of $245,000 plus a reopener for costs over $12.5 million. The EPA rejected the Company's offer, allocating 60% of the cleanup costs to the potentially responsible parties and 40% to the site operator. The EPA estimated the total cleanup costs at $10.1 million as of February 1993. The site owner rejected all settlements with the EPA, after which the EPA issued an order to the site owner to conduct the remedial design/remedial action approved for the site. In August 1997, the site owner issued an "invitation to settle" to various parties, alleging the total cleanup costs at the site may exceed $22 million. No legal action has yet been filed. The amount of the Company's cost associated with the clean-up of the site is unknown due to continuing changes in the estimated total cost of clean-up of the site and the percentage of the total waste which was alleged to have been contributed to the site by the Company. The Company had accrued an amount based on a preliminary settlement proposal by the alleged potential responsible parties; however, this liability was assumed as of May 4, 2000, by the purchaser of the Automotive Business. In connection with such assumption, certain of the Company's subsidiaries received an indemnification by the purchaser of the Automotive Business.

B. The Company and its operations are subject to numerous environmental laws ("Environmental Laws") and to other federal, state and local laws regarding health and safety matters ("Health Laws"). In particular, the manufacture and distribution of chemical products are activities which entail environmental risks and impose obligations under the Environmental Laws and the Health Laws, many of which provide for substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations. There can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred by the Company in complying with such laws or in paying fines or penalties for violation of such laws. The Environmental Laws and Health Laws and enforcement policies thereunder

LSB INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000

relating to the Chemical Business have in the past resulted, and could in the future result, in penalties, cleanup costs, or other liabilities relating to the handling, manufacture, use, emission, discharge or disposal of pollutants or other substances at or from the Company's facilities or the use or disposal of certain of its chemical products. Significant expenditures have been incurred by the Chemical Business at the El Dorado Facility in order to comply with the Environmental Laws and Health Laws. The Chemical Business will be required to make additional significant site or operational modifications at the El Dorado Facility, involving substantial expenditures.

The Chemical Business entered into consent administrative order with the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") in August, 1998 (the "Wastewater Consent Order"). The Wastewater Consent Order recognized the presence of nitrate contamination in the shallow groundwater and required the Chemical Business to undertake on-site bioremediation. The bioremediation was not successful in achieving denitrification. The Chemical Business is preparing a report to the ADEQ regarding field testing of the shallow groundwater. Upon completion of the waste minimization activities referenced below, a final remedy for groundwater contamination will be selected, based on an evaluation of risk. There are no known users of groundwater in the area, and preliminary risk assessments have not identified any risk that would require additional remediation. The Wastewater Consent Order included a $183,700 penalty assessment, of which $125,000 will be satisfied over five years at expenditures of $25,000 per year for waste minimization activities.

The Wastewater Consent Order also required installation of an interim groundwater treatment system (which is now operating) and certain improvements in the wastewater collection and treatment system (discussed below). Twelve months after all improvements are in place, the risk will be reevaluated, and a final decision will be made on what additional groundwater remediation, if any, is required. There can be no assurance that the risk assessment will be approved by the ADEQ, or that further work The Wastewater Consent Order also requires the Chemical Business to undertake a facility wide wastewater evaluation and pollutant source control program and facility wide wastewater minimization program. The program requires that the subsidiary complete rainwater drain off studies including engineering design plans for additional water treatment components to be submitted to the State of Arkansas, by the revised date of October 1, 2001. The construction of the additional water treatment components is required to be completed by the revised date of October 1, 2002 and the El Dorado plant has been mandated to be in compliance with the final effluent limits on or before the revised date of April,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2003. The aforementioned compliance deadlines, however, are not scheduled to commence until after the State of Arkansas has issued a renewal permit establishing new, more restrictive effluent limits. Alternative methods for meeting these requirements are continuing to be examined by the Chemical Business. The Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that any such new effluent limits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Wastewater Consent Order provided that the State of Arkansas will make every effort to issue the renewal permit by December 1, 1999; however, the State of Arkansas has delayed issuance of the permit. Because the Wastewater Consent Order provides that the compliance deadlines may be extended for circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Company, and because the State of Arkansas has not yet issued the renewal permit, the Company does not believe that failure to meet the aforementioned compliance deadlines will present a material adverse impact.

The State of Arkansas has been advised that the Company is seeking financing from Arkansas authorities for the projects required to comply with the Wastewater Consent Order and the Company has requested that the permit be further delayed until financing arrangements can be made, which requests have been met to date. The wastewater program is currently expected to require future capital expenditures of approximately $2 to $3 million. Negotiations for securing financing are currently underway.

C. In connection with the sale of the Automotive Business in May 2000, the buyer assumed over $5 million of vendor liabilities. As of March 31, 2001, a majority of these liabilities existing prior to the sale had not yet been paid. As of March 31, 2001, a relatively minor amount of the vendor payables have been demanded for payment from the Company.

The Company has several contingencies, including these set forth above, that could impact its liquidity in the event that the Company is unsuccessful in defending against the claimants or possible claimants. Although management does not anticipate that these claims or possible claims will result in substantial adverse impacts on its liquidity, it is not possible to determine the outcome.

Note 7: Long-Term Debt In November 1997, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ClimaChem, Inc. ("ClimaChem"), completed the sale of 10 3/4% Senior Notes due 2007, (the "Notes"). Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, and the principal is payable in the year 2007. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ClimaChem and rank pari passu in right of payment to all existing senior unsecured indebtedness of ClimaChem and its subsidiaries. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future senior secured indebtedness of ClimaChem. The outstanding principal balance of the Notes is approximately $75.3 million at March 31, 2001.

Based on the pricing index contained in this contract, prices paid during three months ended March 31, 2000, were higher than the current market spot price. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a subsidiary of the Company recorded loss provisions for anhydrous ammonia required to be purchased during the remainder of the contract aggregating approximately $1.0 million. At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the accrued liability for future payments of the loss provision included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was approximately $6.0 and $6.9 million, respectively ($3.5 million of which is included in accrued liabilities due within one year as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000).

Note 10: Change in Accounting In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company adopted this new Statement effective January 1, 2001. The Statement required the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify or are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through operations. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

In 1997, the Company entered into an interest rate forward agreement to effectively fix the interest rate of a long-term lease commitment (not for trading purposes). In 1999, the Company executed the long-term lease agreement and terminated the forward at a net cost of $2.8 million. The Company historically accounted for this hedge under the deferral method (as an adjustment of the initial term lease rentals). At December 31, 2000, the remaining deferred loss included in other assets approximated $2.4 million. The deferred cost recognized in operations amounted to $72,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Upon adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001, the deferred loss was reclassified into accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be amortized to operations over the term of the lease arrangement. The amount amortized to operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $72,000. The Company also periodically enters into exchange-traded futures contracts for copper and aluminum (as such products are used in the Company's Climate Control Business), which contracts presently are accounted for on a mark to market basis.

Note 11: Liquidity and Management's Plan The Company is a diversified holding company and, as a result, it is dependent on credit agreements and its ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries in order to pay its debts and obligations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, ClimaChem, Inc. ("ClimaChem"), through its subsidiaries, owns substantially all of the Company's Chemical and Climate Control Businesses. ClimaChem and its subsidiaries are dependent on credit agreements with lenders and internally generated cash flow in order to fund their operations and pay their debts and obligations.

In April, 2001, the Company replaced its existing Revolving Credit Facility ("Revolver") for ClimaChem and its subsidiaries. ClimaChem and its subsidiaries, ("the borrowers"), entered into a new $50 million credit facility ("Working Capital Revolver Loan") with a new lender. A subsidiary of the Company which is not a subsidiary of ClimaChem, Summit Machine Tool Manufacturing Corp. ("Summit"), executed the third amended and restated revolving credit agreement with the prior lender (the "Agreement") in April 2001. The Agreement provides a revolving line of credit of up to $2.5 million through April 2002.

ClimaChem is restricted as to the funds that it may transfer to the Company under the terms contained in an Indenture ("Indenture") covering the Senior Unsecured Notes issued by ClimaChem and the Working Capital Revolver Loan. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, ClimaChem was not required to pay the Company $450,000 under the Management Agreement inasmuch as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") did not exceed $6.5 million for the period. It is possible that ClimaChem could pay up to $1.8 million of management fees to the Company (if ClimaChem has EBITDA in excess of $26 million for the year). Due to these limitations, the Company and its non-ClimaChem subsidiaries have limited resources to satisfy their obligations.

The Company has planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2001 of approximately $4 million, primarily in the Chemical and Climate Control Businesses, but such capital expenditures are dependent upon obtaining acceptable financing. The Company expects to delay these expenditures as necessary based on the availability of adequate working capital and the availability of financing.

The Company's plan for the remainder of 2001 identifies specific non-core assets (real estate, oil and gas properties, spare parts, etc.) which the Company is working to realize to provide additional working capital to the Company. The Company also continues to evaluate alternatives for realizing its net investment in the Industrial Products Business.

The Chemical Business entered into a letter of intent with a third party to sell its explosives distribution outlets and enter into a long-term supply agreement, which the Company currently expects to close during the second quarter of 2001. If the letter of intent to sell the Chemical Business' explosive business distribution

Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000

outlets and a long-term supply agreement with a third party closes, they are expected to have the effect of providing working capital from the proceeds of the sale of the assets, reduce outstanding accounts receivable and inventory, as well as provide a more constant and predictable operating margin in the Company's explosives business.

In April 2001, the Company entered into a contract with a third party to sell land adjacent to the Crystal City Plant. The buyer has 65 days to complete due diligence. Should this transaction close, a portion of the proceeds will be available to the Company and its subsidiaries which are not subsidiaries of ClimaChem with the remainder to be applied against the outstanding balance on the Working Capital Revolver Loan.

In May 2001, a subsidiary of the Company, Climate Master, Inc., sold to another subsidiary of the Company, Prime Financial Corporation ("Prime"), an option ("Option") to purchase the building in which Climate Master, Inc. builds its products ("Building") for $1.6 million. Prime thereafter exercised the Option and sold the Building to a third party for a net amount of approximately $1.6 million cash, plus the exercise price under the Option (which was used to pay the mortgage on the Building) and related costs, together with a non-recourse, unsecured promissory note ("Note"), in the principal amount of $1.6 million, from the purchaser of the Building. The parties do not anticipate payment of the principal amount of the Note, but the third party buyer agreed that, although Climate Master is not the holder of the Note, Climate Master may reduce the option price as discussed below for the amount of the Note.

As a result of the transaction, the Climate Master lease and option to buy the Building was extended from 2003 to 2016. The option price for Climate Master to purchase the Building, when exercised, is to be based on the amount of the mortgage on the Building outstanding at the time the option is exercised plus up to $200,000 less the amount of the Note.

During 2001, the Company's Chemical Business has experienced a significant increase in the sales prices of its nitrogen-based products compared to 2000, due primarily to reduced competition in the market including a reduction in foreign imports. The Company has also seen a reduction in its raw material costs of its Chemical Business from the later part of 2000 and early 2001, which are expected to result in improved margins in that business. The Company's Climate Control Business has continued to experience strong demand for its products.

Assuming all of the events discussed above are completed and the lack of other unforeseen adverse events, management of the Company believes the Company will have

adequate resources to meet its obligations as they come due; however, this expectation could change in the near term.

Company's plan for the remainder of 2001 involves a number of initiatives and assumptions which management believes to be reasonable and achievable; however, should the Company not be able to execute this plan described above, it may not have resources available to meet its obligations as they come due.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the Company's March 31, 2001 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Certain statements contained in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" may be deemed forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

Overview

General

The Company continues to focus on its core businesses relating to its Chemical and Climate Control Businesses. In addition, the Company is seeking to reduce its outstanding indebtedness and improve its liquidity and operating results through liquidation of selected assets.

Chemical Business

The Company's Chemical Business manufactures three principal product lines that are derived from anhydrous ammonia: (1) fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate and urea ammonia nitrate ("UAN") for the agricultural industry, (2) explosive grade ammonium nitrate for the mining industry and (3) concentrated, blended and mixed nitric acid and sulfuric acid for industrial applications.

    In conjunction with the Company's strategy, subsidiaries of the Company, which are not subsidiaries of ClimaChem, completed the acquisition of two chemical plants during the fourth quarter of 2000. One plant is located in Cherokee, Alabama ("Cherokee Plant") and the other is located in Crystal City, Missouri ("Crystal City Plant").

    Net Sales in the Chemical Business were $48.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $35.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The gross profit (excluding the provision for loss on firm purchase commitments) decreased to $4 million (or 8.3% of net sales) in 2001 from $6.1 million (or 17.4% of net sales) in 2000.

    As of March 31, 2001, the Chemical Business had commitments to purchase 69,000 tons of anhydrous ammonia under a take or pay contract at an average minimum volume of 3,000 tons per month during 2001 and 2002. In addition, under the contract the Chemical Business is committed to purchase 100% of its anhydrous ammonia requirements in 2001 and 50% of its remaining quantities in excess of the take or pay volumes of its anhydrous ammonia requirements through 2002 from this third party at prices which approximate market prices. At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the accrued liability for future payments of the loss provision included in

the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was approximately $6.0 and $6.9 million, respectively ($3.5 million of which is included in accrued liabilities due within one year as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000).

The Chemical Business entered into a letter of intent with a third party to sell its explosives distribution outlets and enter into a long-term supply agreement, which the Company currently expects to close during the second quarter of 2001. Under the terms of the letter of intent, the Chemical Business would sell its wholesale and retail explosive distribution business (excluding accounts receivable) and enter into an ammonium nitrate tolling agreement with the third party. The buyer has prepaid to the Chemical Business $2 million. If the transaction does not close, the $2 million prepayment may be applied towards the purchase of ammonium nitrate products by the third party from the Chemical Business. However if the transaction does not close, the third party may require the Company to return the prepayment. If these transactions are executed, they are expected to have the effect of providing additional working capital from the proceeds of the sale of assets, reduce outstanding accounts receivable and inventory balances and provide a more constant and predictable operating margin on explosives sales in the Chemical Business. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

Climate Control

     The Climate Control Business manufactures and sells a broad range of hydronic fan coil, air handling, air conditioning, heating, water source heat pumps, and dehumidification products targeted to both commercial and residential new building construction and renovation.

     The Climate Control Business focuses on product lines in the specific niche markets of hydronic fan coils and water source heat pumps and has established a significant market share in these specific markets.

     Sales of $35.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, in the Climate Control Business were approximately 13.5% greater than sales of $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The gross profit was approximately $9.8 million in the 2001 period and $9 million in the 2000 period. The gross profit percentage decreased to 27.2% for 2001 from 28.3% for 2000.

Industrial Products Business

     Net sales in the Industrial Products Business during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were $2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, resulting in an operating loss of $12,000 and operating income of $317,000, respectively. The net investment in assets of this Business has continued to decrease and the Company expects to realize further reductions in future periods. The Company continues to eliminate certain categories of machines from the product line by not replacing those machines when sold.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2001 vs. Three months ended March 31, 2000.

Revenues

     Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were $87.0 million and $70.9 million, respectively, an increase of $16.1 million. Sales increased $16.9 million and other income decreased and $.8 million.

     Net Sales

     Consolidated net sales included in total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001, were $86.5 million, compared to $69.6 million for the first three months of 2000, an increase of $16.9 million. This increase in sales resulted principally from: (i) increased sales relating to the Chemical Business of $13.4 million from increased sales volumes of agricultural and industrial acid products due in part to the acquisition of the Cherokee Plant in the fourth quarter of 2000 and increased customer demand and improved sales prices of certain agricultural and explosive products and (ii) increased sales of $4.3 million in the Climate Control Business due primarily from an increase in customer demand and improved sales prices relating to heat pump products and the increase in sales of new products and services introduced in the second and third quarters of 2000. This increase in sales was partially offset by a decrease in foreign sales in the Climate Control Business and a decrease in sales of machine tools in the Industrial Products Business.

     Gross Profit

     Gross profit as a percent of sales was 16.7% for the first three months of 2001, compared to 22.9% for the first three months of 2000. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was primarily the result of lower profit margins in the Chemical and Climate Control Businesses caused primarily from (i) increased raw material costs (primarily in December 2000 through February 2001) relating to certain agricultural, explosive and industrial acid products and decreased sales volume of certain agricultural products with higher margins relating to the Chemical Business and (ii) the variation in product sales mix due in part to the increase in sales of new products and services with lower profit margins relating to the Climate Control Business. This decrease was partially offset by improved margins of machine tools relating to the Industrial Products Business.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expense

     Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percent of net sales were 13.7% in the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, compared to 16.7%

for the first three months of 2000. This decrease is primarily the result of higher sales without a comparable increase in expense.

     Interest Expense

     Interest expense was $3.8 million in the first three months of 2001, compared to $4.1 million for the first three months of 2000. The decrease of $.3 million primarily resulted from the reduced debt outstanding resulting from the repurchase of the Senior Unsecured Notes during 2000 offset in part by the increase in borrowings from the revolving credit facility.

     Provision for Loss

     The Company had a provision for loss on firm purchase commitments of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. See discussion in Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Other Expense

     Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001 included financing fees relating to the amending of the revolving credit facility.

     Loss before Income Taxes and Extraordinary Gain

     The Company had a loss before income taxes and extraordinary gain of $1.1 million in the first three months of 2001 compared to net income of $.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in loss of $1.4 million was due to the decreased gross profit of the Chemical and Industrial Products Businesses as discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by the loss provision of firm purchase commitments incurred in 2000 and the increased gross profit of the Climate Control Business as discussed above.

     Provision for Income Taxes

     As a result of the Company's net operating loss carry-forward for income tax purposes as discussed elsewhere herein and in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, no provision or benefit for income taxes associated with operations was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

     Extraordinary Gain

     During the three months ended March 31, 2001, a subsidiary of the Company repurchased approximately $53,000 of the Senior Unsecured Notes and recognized a gain of approximately $30,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow From Operations

     Historically, the Company's primary cash needs have been for operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures. The Company has financed its cash requirements primarily through internally generated cash flow, borrowings under its revolving credit facilities and secured equipment financing.

     Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $11.6 million, after adjustments for depreciation and amortization of $2.4 million, provision for possible losses on receivables of $.1 million, realization of losses on firm sales and purchase commitments of $1.7 million, and including an accounts receivable increase of $3.9 million; an increase in inventories of $8.0 million; an increase in supplies and prepaid items of $1.5 million; an increase in accounts payable of $1.4 million; and an increase in accrued liabilities of $.7 million. The increase in receivables is primarily due to the increase and timing of sales of products and services in the Climate Control Business and explosive products in the Chemical Business. The increase in inventories relates primarily to the increase of agricultural products due to the anticipated demands relating to the spring fertilizing season. The increase in supplies and prepaid items includes the increase in supply of precious metals used in the Chemical Business. The increase in accounts payable is primarily due to resumed production at the nitric acid plant in Baytown, Texas. The increase in accrued liabilities is due primarily to the accrued interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes and the prepayment received on the possible sale of the Company's explosives distribution outlets. This increase was partially offset by payments on certain equipment note guarantees relating to the sale of the Automotive Business in 2000 and a decrease in the amount of customer deposits outstanding in the Chemical Business.

Cash Flow From Investing and Financing Activities

     Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 included $1.3 million for capital expenditures. The capital expenditures were primarily for the benefit of the Chemical and Climate Control Businesses.

     Net cash provided by financing activities included proceeds from long-term debt and other debt of $2 million and a net increase in revolving debt of $14.3 million to fund increases in accounts receivable and inventory offset in part, by payments on long-term debt and Senior Unsecured Note acquisitions of $2.9 million.

Source of Funds

     The Company is a diversified holding company and, as a result, it is dependent on credit agreements and its ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries in order to pay its debts and obligations.

    The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, ClimaChem, Inc. ("ClimaChem"), through its subsidiaries, owns substantially all of the Company's Chemical and Climate Control Businesses. ClimaChem and its subsidiaries are dependent on credit agreements with lenders and internally generated cash flow in order to fund their operations and pay their debts and obligations.

    In April, 2001, the Company replaced its existing Revolving Credit Facility ("Revolver") for ClimaChem and its subsidiaries. ClimaChem and its subsidiaries, ("the borrowers"), entered into a new $50 million credit facility with a new lender (the "Working Capital Revolver Loan"). The Working Capital Revolver Loan provides for advances based on specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory of ClimaChem and its subsidiaries and accrues interest at a base rate (generally equivalent to the prime rate) plus 2% or the LIBOR rate plus 4.5%. Interest is due monthly. The Working Capital Revolver Loan matures in April 2005 and is secured by receivables, inventory and intangibles of certain entities. The Working Capital Revolver Loan requires ClimaChem to meet certain financial covenants on a monthly, quarterly and/or annual basis. The Working Capital Revolver Loan requires that ClimaChem's excess availability, as defined, equal an amount not less than $3.8 million, on each interest payment date, after giving effect to the interest payment due under ClimaChem's 10 3/4% Senior Notes. The Working Capital Revolver Loan requires the borrowers to have various minimum amounts of availability under the revolver which amounts generally increase prior to interest payment due dates of the Senior Notes discussed in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. A subsidiary of the Company which is not a subsidiary of ClimaChem, Summit Machine Tool Manufacturing Corp. ("Summit"), executed the third amended and restated revolving credit agreement with the prior lender (the "Agreement") in April 2001. The Agreement provides a revolving line of credit of up to $2.5 million through April 2002. The Agreement is guaranteed by the Company. The Agreement requires monthly payments of interest which accrue based on the lender's prime rate plus the applicable margin (2.5% in April 2000). Effective July 1, 2001, the applicable margin increases .50% and increases .50% monthly thereafter until the Agreement is terminated. The Agreement may be terminated by Summit with proper notice without premium or penalty.

    As of April 30, 2001, the Company, exclusive of ClimaChem, and ClimaChem had a borrowing availability under the Agreement of $.2 million and ClimaChem had borrowing availability under the Working Capital Revolver Loan of $3.1 million, prior to the interest reserve of $840,000. The effective interest rates under the Agreement and the Working Capital Revolver Loan were 10% and 9.5%, respectively. Borrowings under the Working Capital Revolver Loan outstanding at April 30, 2001, were $42.8 million. The annual interest on the outstanding debt under the Working Capital Revolver Loan at April 30, 2001, at the rates then in effect would approximate $4.1 million annually.

    ClimaChem is restricted as to the funds that it may transfer to the Company under the terms contained in an Indenture ("Indenture") covering the Senior Unsecured Notes issued by ClimaChem and the Working Capital Revolver Loan. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, ClimaChem was not required to pay the Company $450,000 under the Management Agreement inasmuch as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") did not exceed $6.5 million for the period. It is possible that ClimaChem could pay up to $1.8 million of management fees to the Company (if ClimaChem has EBITDA in excess of $26 million for the year). Due to these limitations, the Company and its non-ClimaChem subsidiaries have limited resources to satisfy their obligations.

    Due to the Company's and ClimaChem operating losses for the last three years, and the limited borrowing ability under the Agreements, the Company discontinued payment of cash dividends on its Common Stock for periods subsequent to January 1, 1999, until the Board of Directors determines otherwise. As of the date of this report, the Company has not paid the regular quarterly dividend of $.8125 on its outstanding $3.25 Convertible Exchangeable Class C Preferred Stock Series 2 ("Series 2 Preferred") since June 15, 1999, totaling approximately $3.5 million. In addition, the Company did not pay the January 1, 2000 and 2001 regular dividend on the Series B Preferred totaling $480,000. The Company does not anticipate having funds available to pay dividends on its stock for the foreseeable future.

    As of March 31, 2001, ClimaChem has outstanding $79.8 million in Senior Unsecured Notes ("Notes"), which require that a semi-annual interest payment of $4.3 million be paid on June 1, 2001. As of the date of this report, the Company does not believe the interest payment will be made on June 1, 2001. If ClimaChem does not pay the June 1, 2001 interest payment on June 1, it has thirty (30) days to cure such before it becomes an event of default under the terms of the Indenture. Under an event of default, among other things, the holders of the Notes may declare the debt immediately due and payable. An event of default under the Indenture to the Notes could result in a default of the Working Capital Revolver Loan and certain other indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company currently anticipates achieving satisfactory resolution of this matter.

    The Company has retained the services of independent financial advisors to provide assistance to them in considering alternatives for de-leveraging its balance sheet.

    The Company has planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2001 of approximately $4 million, primarily in the Chemical and Climate Control Businesses, but such capital expenditures are dependent upon obtaining acceptable financing. The Company expects to delay these expenditures as necessary based on the availability of adequate working capital and the availability of financing.

    The Company's plan for the remainder of 2001 identifies specific non-core assets (real estate, oil and gas properties, spare parts, etc.) which the Company is working to realize to provide additional working capital to the Company. The

Company also continues to evaluate alternatives for realizing its net investment in the Industrial Products Business.

   If the letter of intent to sell the Chemical Business' explosive business distribution outlets and a long-term supply agreement with a third party closes, they are expected to have the effect of providing working capital from the proceeds of the sale of the assets, reduce outstanding accounts receivable and inventory, as well as provide a more constant and predictable operating margin in the Company's explosives business.

    In April 2001, the Company entered into a contract with a third party to sell land adjacent to the Crystal City Plant. The buyer has 65 days to complete due diligence. Should this transaction close, a portion of the proceeds will be available to the Company and its subsidiaries which are not subsidiaries of ClimaChem with the remainder to be applied against the outstanding balance on the Working Capital Revolver Loan.

   In May 2001, a subsidiary of the Company, Climate Master, Inc., sold to another subsidiary of the Company, Prime Financial Corporation ("Prime"), an option ("Option") to purchase the building in which Climate Master, Inc. builds its products ("Building") for $1.6 million. Prime thereafter exercised the Option and sold the Building to a third party for a net amount of approximately $1.6 million cash, plus the exercise price under the Option (which was used to pay the mortgage on the Building) and related costs, together with a non-recourse, unsecured promissory note ("Note"), in the principal amount of $1.6 million, from the purchaser of the Building. The parties do not anticipate payment of the principal amount of the Note, but the third party buyer agreed that, although Climate Master is not the holder of the Note, Climate Master may reduce the option price as discussed below for the amount of the Note.

    As a result of the transaction, the Climate Master lease and option to buy the Building was extended from 2003 to 2016. The option price for Climate Master to purchase the Building, when exercised, is to be based on the amount of the mortgage on the Building outstanding at the time the option is exercised plus up to $200,000 less the amount of the Note.

    During 2001, the Company's Chemical Business has experienced a significant increase in the sales prices of its nitrogen-based products compared to 2000, due primarily to reduced competition in the market including a reduction in foreign imports. The Company has also seen a reduction in its raw material costs of its Chemical Business from the later part of 2000 and early 2001, which are expected to result in improved margins in that business. The Company's Climate Control Business has continued to experience strong demand for its products.

    Assuming all of the events discussed above are completed and the lack of other unforeseen adverse events, management of the Company believes the Company will have

adequate resources to meet its obligations as they come due; however, this expectation may change in the near term. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

The Company's plan for the remainder of 2001 involves a number of initiatives and assumptions which management believes to be reasonable and achievable; however, should the Company not be able to execute this plan described above, it may not have resources available to meet its obligations as they come due.

Contingencies

The Company has several contingencies that could impact its liquidity in the event that the Company is unsuccessful in defending against the claimants. Although management does not anticipate that these claims will result in substantial adverse impacts on its liquidity, it is not possible to determine the outcome. The preceding sentence is a forward looking statement that involves a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. See Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

General

The Company's results of operations and operating cash flows are impacted by changes in market interest rates and raw material prices for products used in its manufacturing processes.

Interest Rate Risk

     The Company's interest rate risk exposure results from its debt portfolio which is impacted by short-term rates, primarily prime rate-based borrowings from commercial banks, and long-term rates, primarily fixed-rate notes, some of which prohibit prepayment or require substantial prepayment penalties.

     Reference is made to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, for an expanded analysis of expected maturities of long term debt and its weighted average interest rates and discussion related to raw material price risk.

     As of March 31, 2001, the Company's variable rate and fixed rate debt, which aggregated $150.2 million, exceeded the debt's fair market value by approximately $46.7 million ($49.4 million at December 31, 2000). The fair value of the Senior Notes of a subsidiary of the Company was determined based on a market quotation for such securities.

Raw Material Price Risk

The Company has a remaining commitment at March 31, 2001 to purchase 69,000 tons of anhydrous ammonia under a contract. The Company's purchase price can be higher or lower than the current market spot price. As of March 31, 2001, an accrual for losses during the remainder of the purchase period of approximately $6.0 million was recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Independent Accountants' Review Report

Board of Directors
LSB Industries, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of LSB Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of LSB Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 16, 2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are no additional material legal proceedings pending
against the Company and/or its subsidiaries not previously reported by the Company in Item 3 of its Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2000, which Item 3 is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

(b) The Company's Board of Directors did not declare and pay the March 15, 2001 dividends on the Company's outstanding $3.25 Convertible Exchangeable Class C Preferred Stock, Series 2 ("Series 2 Preferred). Accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred are cumulative. The amount of the total arrearage of unpaid dividends on the outstanding Series 2 Preferred is approximately $3.5 million as of the date of this report. In addition, management of the Company has decided not to recommend the Company's Board of Directors approve the June 15, 2001 dividend payment on its outstanding Series 2 Preferred. If the June 15 dividend on the Series 2 Preferred is not paid, the amount of the total arrearage of unpaid dividends payable on the outstanding Series 2 Preferred will be approximately $4.1 million and the Company will have exceeded six quarters without paying the quarterly dividend on its Series 2 Preferred.

Whenever dividends on the Series 2 Preferred shall be in arrears and unpaid, whether or not declared, in amount equal to at least six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive), the holders of the Series 2 Preferred (voting separately as a class) will have the exclusive right to vote for and elect two additional directors of the Company's Board of Directors during the period that dividends on the Series 2 Preferred remain in arrears by six quarterly dividends. The right of the holders of the Series 2 Preferred to vote for such two additional directors shall terminate, subject to re-vesting in the event of a subsequent similar arrearage, when all cumulative and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred have been declared and set apart for payment. The term of office of all

directors so elected by the holders of the Series 2 Preferred shall terminate immediately upon the termination of the right of the holders of the Series 2 Preferred to vote for such two additional directors, subject to the requirements of Delaware law.

Also the Company's Board of Directors did not declare and pay the January 1, 2000 and 2001 regular dividend on the Company's Series B 12% Convertible, Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series B"). Dividends in arrears at March 31, 2001, related to the Company's Series B amounted to approximately $.4 million.

Dear Mr. Jones:

Reference is made to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated October 31, 1994, as amended (the "Agreement") between DSN Corporation, ("Debtor"), and the CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc.

Debtor has requested, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, that CIT waive the instances of non-compliance through April 1, 2002.

CIT hereby waives, as of this date, the instances of non-compliance under the Agreement, under the following condition:

a)  receipt of a $3,000.00 processing fee.

All other terms, conditions and agreements under the Loan Agreement, together with all schedules, attachments and amendments thereto shall remain in full force and effect. Please note that CIT's willingness to waive this particular covenant violation should not be interpreted as CIT's agreement or willingness to waive any further breach or violation of the Agreement.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE AGREEMENT is made effective the 8th day of May, 2001, between RAPTOR MASTER, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (the "Landlord"), and CLIMATE MASTER, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Tenant"). The capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined at Section 19 below.

W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, Tenant and West Point Company, L.L.C. ("West Point"), an Oklahoma limited liability company, are parties to a certain Lease Agreement, dated November 12, 1987, as amended (the "Original Lease"), pursuant to which Tenant leases from West Point certain real property and the improvements located thereon, more particularly described on Schedule "1" attached as a part hereof (the "Premises"); and

          WHEREAS, through a series of transactions, the Landlord acquired title to the Premises; and

          WHEREAS, Landlord desires to continue to lease the Premises to Tenant on terms substantially similar to those contained in the Original Lease, with the exception of the rental amount which shall be subject to a minor increase; and

          WHEREAS, Tenant and Landlord have agreed to enter into this Agreement which amends and restates in its entirety the Original Lease to, among other matters, (i) reflect Landlord as the title owner of the Premises, and (ii) extend the lease term and purchase option right granted to Tenant; and

          WHEREAS, Landlord desires to assume the obligations of West Point under the Original Lease as modified by the terms of this Agreement, thereby releasing West Point from its obligations under such Original Lease.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Tenant and Landlord agree as follows:

If any charge comprising Additional Rent is computed for a term beginning before the Commencement Date or extending beyond the Expiration Date, the charge will be prorated between the Landlord and the Tenant based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.

          3.1  Base Rent. The Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord throughout the primary term of this Agreement a Base Rent, payable in equal monthly installments of Fifty-Six Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($56,750.00) each, payable in advance and without demand beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter on the first day of each month throughout the primary term.

          3.2  Additional Rent. All other amounts, liabilities and obligations which the Tenant agrees to pay or cause to be paid pursuant to this Agreement (as between the Landlord and the Tenant), will constitute rent payable hereunder in addition to the Base Rent specified in Section 3.1 of this Agreement. If the Tenant fails to pay such Additional Rent, the Landlord will be entitled to exercise all rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement, or as provided by law or in equity, to the same extent as if the Tenant had failed to pay the Base Rent specified by this Agreement.

4.2 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as the Tenant has not committed an Event of Default that is continuing, the Landlord warrants the peaceful and quiet occupation and enjoyment of the Premises by the Tenant free and clear of interference by any Person claiming under the Landlord. The Tenant hereby grants to the Landlord, its agents and representatives, the right to enter and inspect the Premises at reasonable times with prior reasonable notice. It is understood that the Landlord will have no duty to make any such inspection and will not incur any liability or obligation with respect to any state of facts which are or might have been discovered by reason of any such inspection.

SECTION 5. IMPOSITIONS

          5.1  Payment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, throughout the Lease Term, the Tenant will pay or cause to be paid all Impositions directly to the charging authority promptly as the same become due, prior to the time penalties or interest attach thereto and before nonpayment gives rise to a lien on the Premises. The Landlord will have no responsibility of any kind with respect to any Imposition, except the Landlord shall pay or cause to be paid all of the Landlord's Impositions directly to the charging authority promptly as the same become due, prior to the time penalties or interest attach thereto and before nonpayment gives rise to a lien on the Premises. The Tenant will have no responsibility of any kind with respect to any Landlord's Imposition.

          5.2  Conversion to Installments. If permitted by law, the Tenant will have the right to apply for conversion of Impositions to installment payments.

Impositions which have been assessed during the Lease Term and converted to installment payments will be paid in full by the Tenant on the termination of the Lease Term.

          5.3  Right to Contest. The Tenant will have the right to contest the validity, amount or application of any Imposition by diligent pursuit of appropriate legal proceedings conducted at the Tenant's expense. If required by applicable law, the Landlord agrees that such proceedings may be conducted in the name of the Landlord, and the Landlord agrees to execute and deliver all documents which are reasonably requested by the Tenant in connection therewith. If at any time the Premises or any part thereof becomes subject to forfeiture, or the Landlord becomes subject to liability arising from nonpayment of any Imposition, the Tenant will promptly pay the disputed Imposition or deposit with the Landlord such collateral or other assurances as might be reasonably required by the Landlord to protect the Premises and the Landlord from liability or forfeiture by reason of nonpayment.

          5.4  Refunds. The Landlord agrees that any refunds or rebates of Impositions previously paid by the Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will belong to the Tenant.

All repairs, replacements and renewals by the Tenant will be reasonably equal in quality to that of the original Improvements, ordinary wear and tear excepted. In no event will the Tenant allow any such repair, replacement or renewal to weaken or impair the structural strength or integrity of the Building.

          6.2  Alterations and Additions. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Tenant may make additions to and alterations of the Improvements; provided that any such additions and alterations: (a) will not weaken or impair the structural strength of the Improvements or reduce the fair market value of the Land and Improvements below the fair market value which existed immediately before such alteration or addition, or impair the usefulness of the Land and Improvements; (b) are effected with due diligence, in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Legal Requirements; and (c) are promptly and fully paid for by the Tenant. Title to all such additions and alterations and to all new Improvements constructed on the Land will vest in the Landlord on the installation or construction of all such new Improvements; provided, however, in no event will the Tenant be deemed to have been divested of title with respect to any new Tenant Equipment installed or constructed with such new Improvements and ownership thereof will remain vested in the Tenant throughout the Lease Term and thereafter. The Landlord and the Tenant intend for the Tenant Equipment to constitute personal property for all purposes, and do not intend to characterize the Tenant Equipment as Real Property for any purposes; ownership of the Tenant Equipment will remain vested in the Tenant.

          6.3  Utilities Charges. Throughout the Lease Term the Tenant will pay all Utilities Charges incurred on and after the beginning of the Lease Term, before the same become delinquent, and the Landlord will have no obligation with respect thereto.

7.2 Permitted Contest. The Tenant will have the right to contest the validity or application of any Legal Requirement which the Tenant is hereunder required to comply with, by diligent pursuit of appropriate legal

proceedings conducted at the Tenant's expense. Any such contest may be brought in the name of the Landlord if required by law, and the Landlord agrees to execute and deliver such instruments as are reasonably requested by the Tenant to facilitate such contest. If allowed by law, the Tenant may delay compliance with the contested Legal Requirement until final determination of the contest; provided, that if the failure of the Tenant to comply with the disputed Legal Requirement will subject the Land, the Improvements or any part thereof to forfeiture or the Landlord to liability arising from such noncompliance, the Tenant will promptly comply with the Legal Requirement or deposit with the Landlord such collateral or other assurance as might be reasonably required by the Landlord to protect the Land, the Improvements and the Landlord from liability or forfeiture by reason of such noncompliance.

7.3 Evidence of Compliance. The Tenant agrees to furnish to the Landlord within ten (10) days after the Landlord's written request therefor such permits, orders, certificates or other documents as might be reasonably requested by the Landlord to evidence compliance with Legal Requirements which are applicable to the Land, or the Improvements and which the Tenant is hereunder required to comply with.

SECTION 8. LIENS

8.1 Liens. The Tenant will not directly or indirectly create or permit to be created or to remain any lien, encumbrance or claim affecting the Land and the Improvements or the Landlord's interest under this Agreement other than: (a) the leasehold estate created by this Agreement; (b) liens for Impositions not yet due or payable or which are the subject of a contest as permitted by Section 5.3 of this Agreement; and (c) lien in favor of the Oklahoma Industrial Finance Authority covering Tenant's leasehold interest created by this Agreement; and (d) liens, encumbrances or claims placed on, created by or permitted to be created on the Land or the Improvements by the Landlord. In the event of the filing of any such claim against the Landlord, the Land, the Improvements or the Landlord's interest hereunder, the Tenant will cause the same to be discharged of record at the Tenant's expense within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Landlord of the filing thereof or such additional time as the Landlord determines to be reasonable under the circumstances, except such liens, encumbrances or claims, referred to in (a), (b) (c) and (d) above or such liens, encumbrances or claims being contested in the manner provided below. The Tenant will have the right to contest any such claim by diligent pursuit of appropriate legal proceedings which may be conducted by the Tenant at the Tenant's expense in the name of the Landlord, if legally required. If at any time during the contest of such claim the Land, or the Landlord's interest hereunder becomes subject to forfeiture, or if the Landlord becomes subject to liability arising from nonpayment of the same, the Tenant will promptly pay the disputed claim or will deposit with the Landlord such collateral or other assurances as might be, reasonably required by the Landlord to protect the Land, the Improvements, the Landlord's interest hereunder and the Landlord from liability or forfeiture by reason of such claim.

SECTION 9. TENANT'S TRANSFER

Agreement or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, the Tenant will give the Landlord written notice of such desire specifying the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee and all of the terms of the proposed assignment or sublease at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such assignment or sublease is proposed to be effective. The Landlord will have the option for a period of fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice to: (a) permit the Tenant to assign or sublet on the terms proposed by the Tenant; or (b) refuse to consent to the proposed assignment or subletting (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Landlord) and continue this Agreement in effect as to the entire Premises. Notwithstanding any consent granted by the Landlord, the Tenant and each assignee and sublessee will at all times remain fully liable for the payment of Rent and for the performance of the Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless such liability as to the Tenant is waived by the Landlord. No consent granted by the Landlord will constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Agreement except as to the specific instance covered thereby. Notwithstanding the above, this Agreement may be assigned to any purchaser of the business of Tenant, and Tenant shall be released from all of its obligations under this Agreement provided such purchaser shall assume all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

SECTION 10. LANDLORD'S TRANSFER

10.1 Right to Transfer. Subject to the Tenant's rights under this Agreement and the Purchase Option, the Landlord will have the right at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term to sell, convey, transfer and assign all or any portion of the Landlord's interest in this Agreement, the Land or the Improvements. In the event the Landlord elects to enter into one or more such transfers, the Landlord agrees to deliver to the Tenant true and complete copies of the instrument or instruments effecting each such transfer within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such transfer and in connection with such transfer, the transferee shall agree to comply with and abide by the terms of this Agreement and the Purchase Option to the reasonable satisfaction of Tenant.

10.2 Attornment. The Tenant agrees to accept and attorn to the transferee of the Landlord's interest hereunder as if such transferee had been the party named as the original Landlord in this Agreement and the Purchase Option, if the transferee has agreed, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Tenant, to comply with and abide by the terms of such agreements.

SECTION 11. INDEMNITY; INSURANCE

11.1 Indemnity. During the Lease Term, the Tenant agrees to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties; causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by the Landlord or asserted against the interest of the Landlord in the Land, the Improvements or this Agreement which do not result from the Landlord's failure to perform the obligations of the Landlord under this Agreement or the willful act or negligence of the Landlord, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees and invitees and which arise by reason of: (a) any injury to or death of any person or any damage to property located in or on the Premises; (b) any failure by the Tenant to perform the obligations of the Tenant under this Agreement; or (c) any negligence or willful act on the part of the Tenant or any of the Tenant's agents, contractors, employees, licensees or

subtenants. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Landlord by reason of any such occurrence, the Tenant, promptly after the written request of the Landlord, will defend such action, suit or proceeding at the Tenant's expense with legal counsel designated by the Tenant which is reasonably acceptable to the Landlord. The Landlord agrees to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Tenant against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by the Tenant or asserted against the interest of the Tenant in the Land, the Improvements or this Agreement which do not result from the Tenant's failure to perform the obligations under this Agreement or the willful act or negligence of the Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees and invitees. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Tenant by reason of any such occurrence, the Landlord, promptly after the written request of the Tenant, will defend such action, suit or proceeding at the Landlord's expense with legal counsel designated by the Landlord which is reasonably acceptable to the Tenant.

          11.2  Insured Risks. Throughout the Lease Term the Tenant will, at the Tenant's expense, maintain: (a) insurance against loss or damage to the Building and the Improvements by fire, lightening, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, aircraft, vehicles, smoke and other risks commonly included in extended coverage policies written in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full insurable value of the Building and the Improvements (any insurance policy maintained by the Tenant will exclude any coinsurance provision obligation); (b) public liability and property damage insurance applicable to the Premises in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord; (c) appropriate workmen's compensation insurance; and (d) all other forms of insurance imposed by Legal Requirements.

          11.3  Policy Provisions.

Notwithstanding the preceding, the Landlord agrees that the Tenant may effect such insurance by adding the Building, the Improvements and the Land, where appropriate, to one or more so-called "blanket" policies maintained by the Tenant, provided that such insurers and such policies are reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord.

          11.4  Evidence of Policies. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement and continuously thereafter during the Lease Term, the Tenant will deliver to the Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing such policies of insurance as required by this Agreement.

SECTION 12. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

12.1 Notice. In case of damage to the Premises in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), the Tenant will promptly give written notice thereof to the Landlord describing the nature and extent of the casualty.

12.2 Restoration. If the Building and/or the Improvements are damaged or destroyed during the Lease Term and all of the insurance proceeds from policies required hereunder and which are paid in connection with

such damage or loss to the Building and/or the Improvements are made available to the Tenant to make such repairs or restoration, the Tenant will as soon as practicable after the casualty restore such portion of the Premises as nearly as possible to the condition which existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction. The Tenant will not be entitled to any offset or abatement in Rent or to any termination or extension of the Lease Term as a result of deprivation or limitation of use of the Premises occasioned by any casualty, or by repairs or replacements required by this Section 12.2.

12.3 Insurance Proceeds. Insurance proceeds will be applied by the Tenant to the payment of the costs of restoration as such costs are incurred. After full payment of all costs of restoring the Premises, any balance of insurance proceeds will be paid to the Tenant.

SECTION 13. EMINENT DOMAIN

          13.1  Total Taking. If, during the Lease Term, all of the Land and the Improvements are taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, or if less than all of the Land and the Improvements are taken, but the Improvements cannot be restored to an economically useful unit, this Agreement will terminate on the date of vesting of title to the Land and Improvements in the condemnor. The rights of the Landlord and the Tenant to the award or awards arising from any such taking will be determined in accordance with Section 13.6 of this Agreement.

          13.2  Partial Taking. If less than all of the Land and the Improvements are taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and the Improvements can be restored to an economically useful unit and can be used by the Tenant in substantially the same manner as such was being used by the Tenant before such taking, this Agreement will not terminate but will continue in full force and effect (except for the adjustment to the Rent as provided below) for the remainder of the Lease Term with respect to that portion of the Land and the Improvements which is not the subject of the taking. The rights of the Landlord and the Tenant to the award or awards arising from any such taking will be determined in accordance with Section 13.6 of this Agreement. In such event,, the Tenant agrees, at Tenant's expense, to restore that portion of the Improvements not so taken to a complete architectural unit of substantially the same usefulness, design, construction and character as the Improvements existing before such taking; provided, however, the Tenant shall have no obligation to make any repairs to or restoration of the Improvements the cost of which exceeds that portion of the award for such taking made available to the Tenant to restore that portion of the Improvements not so taken. For the balance of the Lease Term, a just and appropriate part of the Rent, according to the nature and extent of the taking, will be abated.

          13.3  Temporary Taking. If all or any portion of the Land or the Improvements is taken by the exercise of the right of eminent domain for governmental occupancy for a limited period, this Agreement will not terminate and the Tenant will continue to perform all of the Tenant's obligations hereunder as though such taking had not occurred (except to the extent that the Tenant is prevented from doing so by reason of such taking; provided, in no event will the Tenant be excused from the payment of Rent and all other charges required to be paid by the Tenant under this Agreement). In the event of such taking, the Tenant will be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award made for such taking (whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise) and the

Landlord hereby assigns such award to the Tenant, unless the period of governmental occupancy extends beyond the termination of the Lease Term, in which case the award will be apportioned between the Landlord and the Tenant as set forth in Section 13.6 of this Agreement. The Tenant agrees to restore the Improvements to the condition which existed prior to such taking at the Tenant's expense at the termination of any such governmental occupancy, provided, however, the Tenant shall have no obligation to make any repairs to or restoration of the Improvements the cost of which exceeds that portion of the award for such taking made available to the Tenant for such repairs or restoration.

          13.4  Minor Taking. A taking of any bridge, vault, easement or portion of the Improvements projecting into any public way will not be deemed a taking of any part of the Land or the Improvements for the purposes of this Section 13, and this Agreement will not be affected by any such taking. The Tenant will be entitled to receive any award made for any such taking and will make any alteration to the Improvements required by such taking at the Tenant's expense.

          13.5  Abatement of Rent. In the event of any partial taking of the Premises as set forth in Section 13.2 of this Agreement, the Rent payable by the Tenant with respect to that portion of the Premises so taken will terminate on the date title to that portion of the Land and Improvements which is the subject of the taking vests in the condemnor and Rent will be apportioned as of the date of such vesting. The obligation of the Tenant to pay Rent with respect to such portion during the remainder of the Lease Term will abate on a proportionate basis based on that portion of the Premises remaining.

          13.6  Apportionment of Award. If all or a portion of the Premises are taken as contemplated by Sections 13.1 or 13.2 of this Agreement, the Landlord and the Tenant agree that the award(s) for any such taking will be apportioned in the following manner and paid in the following order:

                   13.6.1  Expenses. The award will first be applied to reimburse the Landlord and the Tenant for reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with obtaining the award.

                    13.6.2  Mortgage. The award will next be applied to Landlord's Mortgage.

                    13.6.3  Restoration Costs. Then to the extent that the Tenant is obligated to and restores the Improvements, the award will next be applied to payment of the costs reasonably incurred by the Tenant in effecting such restoration.

                   13.6.4  Tenant's Lease. To the Tenant in an amount equal to the fair market value of that portion of the leasehold interest taken at the date as of which the award is determined; this amount will be computed by: (i) determining the excess of the present worth of the fair rental value of the Premises for the remaining Lease Term less the present worth of the remaining Rent payable by the Tenant for the remaining Lease Term then, (ii) determining an amount as the fair market value which is in the same proportion to that excess that the area of the Premises taken bears to the total Premises.

13.6.5 Landlord's Cost. Any balance of the award remaining after the foregoing applications will be allocated to the Landlord.

13.7 Participation in Proceedings. The Landlord and the Tenant will each have the right at their respective expense to participate in any proceeding seeking to take all or any portion of the Premises and any appeals which might be taken therefrom.

SECTION 14. FEE MORTGAGES

14.1 Landlord's Mortgage. This Agreement and the rights of the Tenant hereunder will be subject and subordinate to the First Fee Mortgage. The Landlord agrees to use its best efforts to furnish to the Tenant a nondisturbance agreement from the holder of the First Fee Mortgage. Landlord shall not modify or amend the terms of the First Fee Mortgage or refinance or increase the mortgage amount without the prior written consent of Tenant.

SECTION 15. DEFAULT; REMEDIES

          15.1  Events of Default. The following events if not cured within the applicable cure period set forth in Section 15.2 hereof will be deemed to be Events of Default by the Tenant under this Agreement: (a) failure to pay any Rent or other sums payable by the Tenant hereunder when such sums become due; (b) failure to comply with any material term of this Agreement to be observed by the Tenant; (c) abandonment of any substantial portion of the Premises; (d) the filing by or against the Tenant of any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any similar law; (e) the insolvency of the Tenant; (f) the making by the Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (g) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Tenant or any material portion of the assets of the Tenant.

          15.2  Notice; Opportunity to Cure. On the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 15.1, the Landlord will have the option to serve written notice thereof to the Tenant specifying the nature of such default. In the event the Tenant, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord, cures a default arising from the events specified at Section 15.1(a) within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, or cures a default arising from the events specified at Sections 15.1(b) through (g), inclusive, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (or if such default cannot be cured by the exercise of all diligent efforts within such thirty (30) day period then the Tenant will have such additional time as might be reasonable under the circumstances to cure such default), the Landlord and the Tenant will be restored to their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement as if no such event had occurred.

          15.3  Remedies. On the failure of the Tenant to cure a default within the time provided and upon such becoming an Event of Default, the Landlord will have the option to do any one or more of the following without any further notice or demand, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy permitted by law, in equity or by this Agreement:

                15.3.1  Termination. The Landlord may terminate this Agreement, in which event the Tenant will immediately surrender the Premises to the Landlord, but if the Tenant fails to do so, the Landlord may without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy the Landlord might have, enter and take possession of the

Premises and remove the Tenant and the Tenant's property therefrom without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor.

                    15.3.2  Reletting. The Landlord may enter and take possession of the Premises as the agent of the Tenant without terminating this Agreement without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and the Landlord may relet the Premises as the agent of the Tenant and receive the rent therefor, in which event the Tenant will pay to the Landlord, on demand, the cost of renovating, repairing and altering the Premises, except for obligations of the Landlord under this Agreement, and any deficiency that might arise by reason of such reletting; provided, however, the Landlord will have no duty to relet the Premises and the failure of the Landlord to relet the Premises will not release or affect the Tenant's liability for Rent or for damages.

                    15.3.3  Option to Perform. The Landlord may perform or cause to be performed the obligations of the Tenant under this Agreement and may enter the Premises to accomplish such purpose without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor. The Tenant agrees to reimburse the Landlord on demand for any expense which the Landlord might incur in effecting compliance with this Agreement on behalf of the Tenant, and the Tenant further agrees that the Landlord will not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from such action, whether caused by the negligence of the Landlord or otherwise.

          15.4  No Waiver. No action by the Landlord during the Lease Term will be deemed an acceptance by the Landlord of an attempted surrender of the Premises. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by the Landlord will be construed as an election by the Landlord to terminate this Agreement, unless a written notice of termination is signed by the Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting, re-entry or taking possession, the Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Agreement for a pervious uncured Default. The acceptance by the Landlord or payment by the Tenant of Rent following the occurrence of an Event of Default will not be construed as the waiver of such Event of Default unless the Landlord waives such Event of Default in writing. No waiver of any Event of Default by the Landlord will be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other or future Event of Default hereunder. Forbearance by the Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default. No provision of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived by the Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by the Landlord. The rights and remedies granted to the Landlord in this Agreement are cumulative of every other right or remedy which the Landlord might otherwise have at law or in equity and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not prejudice the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies. If the Landlord brings any action for enforcement of any right under this Agreement or if the Landlord places any amount payable by the Tenant hereunder with an attorney for collection, the party against whom any final judgment is rendered agrees to pay the reasonable attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection therewith.

          15.5  Surrender. On the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Lease Term, the Tenant will quit and surrender the Premises to the Landlord in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and except that the Tenant shall not have any obligation to make any such repairs as are imposed on the Landlord

under this Agreement. It is specifically understood that the Tenant will as soon as possible after the Expiration Date have the right to remove the Tenant Equipment, provided, however, in the event any of the Tenant Equipment cannot be removed without damage to the Premises the Tenant will on ten (10) days written request therefor reimburse to the Landlord the Landlord's reasonable costs incurred in repairing such damage and restoring the Premises to the condition which existed prior to the removal of the Tenant Equipment. In the event any of the Tenant Equipment is not removed by the Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the termination of the Lease Term the Landlord may thereafter remove or store such property, at the expense of the Tenant, without being liable to the Tenant therefor.

15.6 Holding Over. If the Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after the expiration or other termination of the Lease Term, such holding over will, unless otherwise agreed by the Landlord in writing, constitute a tenancy at will at a daily rental equal to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of that amount which is equal to twice the amount of the Rent payable during the last month prior to the termination of the Lease Term and such holding over will be subject to all of the other provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 16. TENANT'S PURCHASE

16.1 Purchase Option. Provided that this Agreement is then in effect and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Tenant is hereby granted the continuing option to purchase the Premises on the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement executed by the Landlord and the Tenant of even date herewith, the terms of which are incorporated herein.

SECTION 17. EXTENSION OPTIONS

          17.1  Extended Term. Provided that this Agreement is in effect and the Tenant is not in an Event of Default hereunder on the Expiration Date and on the last day of any extension period as hereunder provided, the Tenant is hereby granted the continuing option to extend the Lease Term for three (3) additional, consecutive periods of five (5) years each, on the same terms and conditions as existed during the initial Lease Term, except that:

                    17.1.1  Base Rent. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 3.1 of this Agreement, and assuming the Tenant's exercise of the foregoing options, the Base Rent for the extension periods will be as follows: (a) Beginning on the first day of the first extension period and for each month during such term and any subsequent extended term, monthly installments in the amount of Fifty-Six Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars $56,750.00) each, payable in advance and without demand.

                    17.1.2  Improvements. The Landlord for any extension period will neither be obligated to furnish any additional Improvements to the Tenant nor pay any additional Supplemental Allowance to the Tenant and the Tenant will accept the Premises in an "AS IS" condition on the commencement date of each extension period.

                    17.1.3  Further Exercise. To exercise each of the foregoing extension options, the Tenant must serve notice in writing to the Landlord of the Tenant's exercise of each such option on or before ninety (90)

days prior to the last day of the Expiration Date and each respective extension period. The Tenant will have no option to extend the term of this Agreement beyond the expiration of the fifth five (5) year extension period.

SECTION 18. MISCELLANEOUS

          18.1  Force Majeure. If either the Landlord or the Tenant is delayed or prevented from performing any term of this Agreement by reason of strikes, walkouts, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive laws or regulations, riots, war or other reason beyond the party's control, then performance will be excused for the period of delay and the time for performance will be extended for a period equal to the period of such delay.
