It is our belief that Interstate Brands Corporation("IBC") <br /> received the letter due to the fact that San Francisco French Bread Company("SFFB")was a copied party. This <br /> letter is being sent to clarify the factual circumstances regarding the current operations of SFFB and to state for <br /> the record that IBC has no liability for the Site. <br /> IBC acquired substantially all of the assets of SFFB from Metz Baking Company and certain of its subsidiaries <br /> ("Metz") on February 28; 1997. The asset purchase did include the rights to use the name"San Francisco <br /> French Bread Company"which is currently operated as a division of IBC. However,the asset purchase <br /> specifically excluded the Site which remained in the ownership of Metz. IBC never owned or operated the Site <br /> and therefore has no liability for any environmental condition on the Site. In addition, IBC does not possess any <br /> knowledge of Metz's use or operation of the Site either before or after IBC's acquisition of SFFB. <br /> Further,please note that on September 22, 2004,IBC,along with its affiliates, filed for protection under Chapter <br /> 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code(the"Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western <br /> District of Missouri (the"Court"). <br /> r Tnless,kve hear otherNx ise, we will Consider this !?latter closed.x tb regard to 1BC. Any firther correspondence <br /> regarding the ownership or operation of the Site by SFFB should be directed to Metz. If,upon review, your <br /> counsel would like to discuss this matter further,they may contact me at the number above. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Edwin F. adbach <br /> Staff Attorney <br /> cc: Margaret Lagorio <br /> Steve Guenin <br /> Metz Baking Company <br />
