certain lease and purchase agreements between Heartland Cup Inc.
and Republic Plastics Ltd. (collectively, the �Agreements�).
Republic Plastics is located in McQueeney, Texas and produces

Heartland plant, purchased all remaining cup contracts with
Heartland customers, and executed a two-year equipment lease. The

held company that produces foam tableware for nationwide
distribution to large and small retailers and distributors. The
