tangible and intangible, owned by AALP and AMI shall be allocated to and
completely vested in the Surviving Entity, without further act or deed. All
liabilities and obligations of AALP and AMI shall be allocated to the
Surviving Entity and the Surviving Entity shall become the primary obligor as
to all such liabilities and obligations.  All rights of creditors and other
obligees and all liens and other encumbrances on property of either AALP or
AMI shall be preserved unimpaired.

Section 1.4. Conversion. Immediately after the Merger, the Surviving Entity
shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas Articles of

                                  ARTICLE II
                              AALP STOCK OPTION

Section 2.1. Issuance of Stock Option.  Contemporaneously with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, AMI has granted to AALP an option (the "AALP
Stock Option") to purchase 845,000 shares of AMI common stock, which will
represent, upon exercise, approximately 19.9% of all issued and outstanding
share of AMI common stock.  The AALP Stock Option shall be evidenced by that
certain Stock Option Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

                                  ARTICLE III
                       CONVERSION AND EXCHANGE OF SHARES

Section 3.1. Conversion of AMI Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of AMI, AALP or the holder of any
of the securities thereof, the following shall occur:

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.5 and 3.6 below, each share
of the AMI common stock ("AMI Stock") issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time, except for shares of AMI Stock owned by AMI
as treasury stock or owned, directly or indirectly, by AMI or any of AMI's
wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than shares of AMI Stock held, directly
or indirectly, in trust accounts, managed accounts or otherwise held in a
fiduciary capacity, that are beneficially owned by third parties) and
shares of AMI Stock as to which the holders have perfected their rights as
dissenting shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Art. 6132a-1
Sec. 2.11 of the TBCA (the "Dissenting Shares"), shall be converted into and
represent the right to receive cash in the amount of the "Merger
Consideration," as hereinafter defined;

(b) All shares of AMI Stock that are owned, directly or indirectly, by
AMI or any wholly-owned subsidiary of AMI shall be canceled and shall
cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange
therefor; and

(c) All of the shares of AMI Stock converted into the right to receive
the Merger Consideration pursuant to this ARTICLE III shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist.

Section 3.2. Merger Consideration.  As used herein, the term "Merger
Consideration" shall mean the sum of $1.60 per share of AMI Stock; provided,
however, $200,000 of the Merger Consideration payable to Ms. Estelle Shwiff
("Shwiff") shall be in the form of a $200,000 promissory note from the
Surviving Entity, in a form acceptable to both the Surviving Entity and
Shwiff, with interest at a rate of 6% per annum.  The principal and accrued
interest will be repaid in full on or before the date which is one year after
Closing if the gross revenues of the Surviving Entity for such one year
period equal or exceed $14,000,000; otherwise, the principal and accrued
interest shall be repaid on or before the date which is two years after
Closing.

Section 3.3. AALP Partnership Interests. At and after the Effective Time and
the Conversion, all partnership interests of AALP issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into partnership
interests of the Surviving Entity, in the same percentages and class as
existed in AALP prior to the Effective Time.

Section 3.4. Cancellation of Employee Stock Options. Contemporaneously with
the execution of this Agreement, the holder of each outstanding and
unexercised option/warrant, previously granted by AMI, to purchase shares of
AMI Stock (other than the AALP Stock Option) has executed and delivered to
AMI an option cancellation agreement (collectively, the "Option Cancellation
Agreements") and surrendered to AMI all original option agreements.  Pursuant
to the terms of the Option Cancellation Agreements, immediately prior to the
Effective Time each "in-the-money" option/warrant subject to an Option
Cancellation Agreement (a) shall be canceled in exchange for a cash payment
by AMI, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i)
the difference between the Merger Consideration per share and the exercise
price of each respective option/warrant by (ii) the number of shares of AMI
Stock purchasable upon exercise of such options/warrants, and (b) shall cease
to represent a right to acquire shares of AMI Stock.  The maximum amount
payable pursuant to this Section 3.4 for cancellation of all "out of the
money" options shall be $10,000.  As of the Effective Time, there shall be no
options or warrants to purchase shares of AMI Stock outstanding other than
the AALP Stock Option.

Section 3.5. Exchange Procedure. On or immediately prior to the Effective
Date, AALP and AMI shall deposit in trust with, or otherwise make available
to, an exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") to be selected by AALP, for
exchange in accordance with this Agreement, cash sufficient to pay the Merger
Consideration (excluding any Dissenting Shares).  As soon as practicable
after the Effective Time, and in no event later than five business days
thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of AMI
Stock a letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") in substantially
the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D and instructions for use in
effecting the surrender of the certificates representing AMI Stock in
exchange for the Merger Consideration.  Each holder of AMI Stock, upon
surrender of the certificates therefor to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by
duly executed Letters of Transmittal, shall be entitled to receive a check
representing the amount of Merger Consideration which such holder has the
right to receive hereunder. Each certificate representing shares of AMI Stock
so surrendered shall be canceled.  Until so surrendered, each certificate
representing AMI Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to represent
and evidence solely the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid
therefor pursuant to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither
the Exchange Agent nor any other party hereto shall be liable to any holder
of certificates representing AMI Stock for any amount paid to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar
law.  Except as required by law, no interest shall be payable with respect to
the Merger Consideration or the cash payable for Dissenting Shares.  If any
shareholder of record of AMI is unable to locate any certificate evidencing
shares of AMI Stock to be surrendered for exchange, the Exchange Agent shall
deliver the corresponding share of the Merger Consideration to the registered
shareholder upon receipt of a lost certificate affidavit and an indemnity
agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to AALP.  The delivery of the
Merger Consideration by the Exchange Agent shall be as soon as practicable
following the receipt by the Exchange Agent of the certificates and the duly
executed Letters of Transmittal, and in any event no later than five business
days thereafter.

Section 3.6. Dissenting Shares. Each share of AMI Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, the holder of which has not voted in
favor of the Merger and who has properly perfected his dissenter's rights of
appraisal by following the procedures set forth in Section 5.12 of the Texas
Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA"), is referred to herein as a "Dissenting
Share."  Dissenting Shares owned by each holder thereof who has not exchanged
his certificates representing shares of AMI Stock for the corresponding share
of the Merger Consideration or otherwise has not effectively withdrawn or
lost his dissenter's rights shall not be converted into or represent the
right to receive the corresponding share of the Merger Consideration pursuant
to Section 3.1 hereof and shall be entitled only to such rights as are
available to such holder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the TBCA.
Each holder of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive the value of
such Dissenting Shares held by him in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the TBCA; provided, such holder complies with the procedures
contemplated by and set forth in the applicable provisions of the TBCA.  If
any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose his
dissenter's rights under the applicable provisions of the TBCA, such
Dissenting Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the
corresponding share of the Merger Consideration in accordance with the
provisions of this ARTICLE III.

                                    ARTICLE IV
                       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF AMI

Section 4.1. Organization.

standing under the laws of the State of Texas.  AMI has the corporate
power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to engage in
the business and activities now conducted by it and to enter into this
Agreement.  AMI is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the
character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it
makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure
to be so licensed or qualified would not, either individually or in the
aggregate, have a "Material Adverse Effect," as hereinafter defined, on
AMI.

(b) AMI has no subsidiaries.

(c) AMI is not a general partner or owner of an equity or membership
interest in any joint venture, general partnership, limited partnership,
limited liability company, trust or other non-corporate entity.

(d) There exists no arrangement pursuant to which the stock or other
membership or equity interests of any corporation, joint venture, general
partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, trust or
other non-corporate entity is or has been held in trust (whether express,
constructive, resulting or otherwise) for the benefit of AMI or all of the
shareholders of AMI.

(e) True and complete copies of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
of AMI, as amended to date, are included in Schedule 4.1 of the Disclosure
Schedule (the "Disclosure Schedule") delivered by AMI to AALP together
with this Agreement.

Section 4.2. Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of AMI consists of
(a) 10,000,000 shares of AMI Stock, 3,401,448 of which are issued and
outstanding and 13,500 of which are held in treasury, and (b) 500,000 shares
of preferred stock, $0.10 par value per share, none of which are issued and
outstanding.  All of the issued and outstanding shares of AMI Stock are
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and were not issued in
violation of the preemptive rights of any person or in violation of any
applicable federal or state securities laws.  Except for the AALP Stock
Option and as described on Schedule 4.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are
no existing options, warrants, calls, convertible securities or commitments
of any kind obligating AMI to issue any authorized and unissued AMI Stock,
nor does AMI have any outstanding commitment or obligation to repurchase,
reacquire or redeem any of its outstanding capital stock.  Except for the
AALP Stock Option, there are no stock appreciation or similar rights to
receive cash payment in respect or in lieu of options to purchase shares of
AMI Stock or otherwise.  Except as described on Schedule 4.2 of the
Disclosure Schedule and as contemplated by this Agreement, to the knowledge
of AMI, there are no voting trusts, voting agreements, buy-sell agreements or
other agreements or arrangements affecting the AMI Stock.

Section 4.3. Approvals; Authority.

(a) The Board of Directors has approved this Agreement, the AALP Stock
Option and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and no further
corporate proceedings of AMI are needed to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the AALP Stock Option and consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby other than the approval of this Agreement
by the shareholders of AMI as required by law.  As of the date hereof,
Shwiff, Mark I. Kenner and Fred Kenner (collectively hereinafter referred
to as the "Majority Shareholders"), as a group, own a number of the shares
of issued and outstanding AMI Stock that is sufficient for AMI shareholder
approval of the Merger pursuant to AMI's Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws and pursuant to the TBCA.  This Agreement and the AALP Stock Option
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by AMI and each is a
legal, valid, and binding agreement of AMI enforceable against AMI in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to
creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles.

(b) At the Closing, all other agreements, documents and instruments to be
executed and delivered by AMI which are referred to herein or contemplated
hereby will have been duly executed and delivered by AMI, and will
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of AMI, enforceable
against AMI in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the
effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and general equitable
principles.

Section 4.4. Securities Law Filings. AMI is subject to the registration
provisions of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

such Exchange Act. All issuances of securities by AMI have been registered
under the Securities Act, the Securities Act of the State of Texas and all
other applicable laws, or were exempt from any such registration requirements
or the applicable statute of limitations has run.  AMI has made all filings

None of the information contained in the filings by AMI since January 1,
2002, and to the best knowledge of AMI in the filings prior to January 1,
2002, under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act is false or misleading
with respect to any material fact, or omits to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

compensation for personal services performed or to be performed in the
future.

operations of AMI, and the officers of AMI will furnish AALP with such
additional financial and operating data and other information as to the
business and properties of AMI as AALP shall, from time to time, reasonably
request; and provided further, that no such investigation or the knowledge
obtained as a result of such investigation shall affect in any way the
representations and warranties of AMI contained in this Agreement.  As soon
as practicable after they become available, AMI will, and will cause AMI to,
deliver or make available to AALP (a) all Tax Returns, (b) all audited
financial statements and (c) all unaudited financial statements prepared for

called to approve the Merger and voting at the meeting.

Section 6.7. Standstill Provision.  Neither AMI nor any of its directors,

or any shares of capital stock of AMI, but AMI and/or any of its directors,
officers, agents or representatives may provide information and negotiate
with respect to any unsolicited Acquisition Proposal.   AMI agrees to notify
AALP immediately of any unsolicited proposal which could reasonably be
expected to lead to, the merger, consolidation, acquisition, or sale of all

Section 6.9. Supplements to Disclosure Schedules. From time to time prior to
the Effective Date, AMI shall promptly supplement the Disclosure Schedule
pursuant to ARTICLE IV of this Agreement to reflect any matter hereafter
arising that would make any representation or warranty set forth in ARTICLE IV
inaccurate.  However, for purposes of determining (a) the fulfillment of the
condition set forth in Section 9.1 as of the Closing Date and (b) the
accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE IV if the
Merger is not consummated, the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to include
only the information contained therein on the date of this Agreement and
shall be deemed to exclude any information contained in any supplement

not affect the rights and remedies of the parties hereunder.  If any
supplement to the Disclosure Schedule shall be delivered within five days of
the Closing Date, at the option of AALP the Closing Date may be delayed to
permit AALP to have a period of at least five days to consider such

overlapping of improvements, or similar matters.  The survey plats
furnished to AALP shall contain provisions certifying as to and including
the "Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title

material fact contained in any application filed by AMI or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, but only insofar as such statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by AALP in writing
expressly for use therein.

Section 7.3. Confidentiality; Non-Solicitation.

(a) AALP shall not (i) before or after the consummation or termination of

AMI, directly or indirectly solicit any individual who is an employee of
AMI on the date the Agreement is terminated to terminate his or her
relationship with such entity in order to become employed by AALP;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) the use of an
independent employment agency (so long as the agency was not directed to
solicit a particular individual or class of individuals that could only be
satisfied by employees of AMI as of the date the Agreement is terminated)
or (ii) the use of a general solicitation (such as an advertisement) not
specifically directed to employees of AMI.

Section 7.4. Press Releases. AALP agrees that it will not, directly or
indirectly, without the prior approval of AMI, issue any press release or
written statement for public release relating to the Agreement or the Merger,
except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, and then only

results in a breach of any representation or warranty by AALP contained
herein or a failure by AALP to comply with any covenant, condition or
agreement contained herein.

Section 7.6. Additional Covenants. AALP will not, without the prior written
consent of AMI, take any action that would result in any of its
representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE V of this Agreement not

of the State of Texas and, to the extent applicable, by the laws of the
United States.

Section 13.5. Headings. The table of contents, headings and titles to the
sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be
deemed a part hereof or affect the construction or interpretation of any
provision hereof.

Section 13.6. Amendment. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto; provided,
however, that there may not be, without further approval by the shareholders
of AMI, any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form
of the consideration to be delivered hereunder to the holders of AMI Stock,
other than as contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement may not be
amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the
parties hereto.

Section 13.7. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the
parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective governing

performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties

party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth
in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or
waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation,
covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or
estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Section 13.8. Severability. Any provision hereof prohibited by or unlawful or
unenforceable under any applicable law or any jurisdiction shall as to such
jurisdiction be ineffective, without affecting any other provision of this
Agreement, or shall be deemed to be severed or modified to conform with such
law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in force,
provided that the purpose of the Agreement can be effected. To the full
extent, however, that the provisions of such applicable law may be waived,
they are hereby waived, to the end that this Agreement be deemed to be a
valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Section 13.9. Consolidation of Agreements. All understandings and agreements
heretofore made between the parties hereto are merged in this Agreement that
(together with any agreements executed by the parties hereto
contemporaneously with or, if contemplated hereby, subsequent to the
execution of this Agreement) shall be the sole expression of the agreement of
the parties respecting the Merger, except that that certain Nondisclosure and
Standstill Agreement dated _____________, 2004, shall continue in effect.
Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that, in executing and delivering
this Agreement, it has relied only on the written representations, warranties
and promises of the other parties hereto that are contained herein or in the
other agreements executed by the parties contemporaneously with or, if
contemplated hereby, subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, and has
not relied on the oral statements of any other party or its representatives.

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

by the applicable syntax, but the meaning of which shall not be affected

legal requirements relating to public disclosure of matters related to the
matters contemplated by this Agreement, the timing and content of any
announcements, press releases or other public statements (whether written or

determined by, the mutual consent of AALP and AMI.

Section 13.14. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Sections
2.2 and 6.11 and in Article III, nothing contained in this Agreement, express
or implied, is intended to confer upon any persons, other than the parties
hereto or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations, or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 13.15. Interpretation; Effect. When a reference is made in this
Agreement to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a
Section of, or Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise
indicated.  Whenever the words "include", "includes" or "including" are used
in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without
limitation."  No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require
any party hereto or their respective affiliates to take any action that would
violate applicable law, (whether statutory or common law), rule or
regulation.

Section 13.16. Certain Definitions. The following terms shall have the
meanings ascribed to them for all purposes of this Agreement:

(a) "Best efforts" means the taking of all commercially reasonable steps
to cause or prevent any event or condition which would have been taken in
similar circumstances by a reasonably prudent business person engaged in a
similar business for the advancement or protection of his own economic
interest in light of the consequences of failure to cause or prevent the
occurrence of such event or condition, but excludes the initiation of
legal proceedings.

(b) "Knowledge" or "known" An individual shall be deemed to have
"knowledge" of or to have "known" a particular fact or other matter if (i)
such individual is actually aware of such fact or other matter or (ii) a
prudent individual possessing the requisite knowledge and experience would
reasonably be expected to discover or otherwise become aware of such fact
or other matter in the course of the performance of his ordinary duties
or, taking into account that individual's position or relationship with an
entity and access to information, in the course of conducting a reasonably
comprehensive investigation concerning the truth or existence of such fact
or other matter.  No individual may deny having actual knowledge of a fact
or other matter by reason of such person having failed to review or obtain
information which would generally have been provided to such individual,
taking into account that individual's position or relationship with an
entity, in the ordinary course of business.  A party to this Agreement
shall be deemed to have "knowledge" of or to have "known" a particular
fact or other matter if any individual who is serving, or who has at any
time served, as a director or officer (or in any similar capacity) of the
party has, or at any time had, knowledge of such fact or other matter.

(c) "Material Adverse Effect" shall mean, with respect to any party, any
effect that is material and adverse to (i) the consolidated financial
condition, assets, results of operations, earnings, business, prospects or
cash flows of that party, taken as a whole, or that materially impairs the
ability of any party to consummate the Merger, or (ii) any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Material Adverse Effect
shall not, however, be deemed to include any effect on the referenced
party which is caused by (A) changes in laws and regulations or
interpretations thereof that are generally applicable to the chemical
industry, (B) changes in GAAP that are generally applicable to the
chemical industries, (C) expenses incurred in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, except that if legal expenses of AMI
exceed $50,000, the amount of such excess will be deducted from the Merger
Consideration as provided in Section 13.2, or (D)  actions or omissions of
a party taken with the prior informed written consent of the other party
or parties in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 13.17. Incorporation by Reference. Any and all schedules, exhibits,
annexes, statements, reports, certificates or other documents or instruments
referred to herein or attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference
hereto as though fully set forth at the point referred to in the Agreement.

Section 13.18. Venue.  The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
consent to and submit themselves to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
of the State of Texas located in Dallas County, Texas and the courts of the
United States of America located in the Northern District of Texas
(collectively, the "Agreed Courts") with respect to any actions, suits or
proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby and the parties hereto agree not to commence
any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such Agreed Courts.
The parties hereto further agree that service of any process, summons,
notice, or documents in accordance with Section 13.3 hereof shall be
effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought.  The
parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the
laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the Agreed Courts and
hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead
or claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any of the
Agreed Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 13.19. Construction.  Every covenant, term and provision of this
Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not
strictly for or against any party.

Section 13.20. Attorneys' Fees.  In the event any action is brought to
enforce, or for the breach of, this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expert witness fees.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as
of the date first above written.
