                         RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, this "Agreement") is entered into as of
September 5, 2003 between Indian-Martin AG, a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of Switzerland, as seller (sometimes referred to as "AG" or the
"Seller," as the case may be) and INDIAN-MARTIN, INC., a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada, as buyer (sometimes referred
to as "IM, Inc." or the "Buyer").

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

                  1.       Certain terms that are capitalized and used
throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement. References
in the Exhibits hereto to the Agreement refer to this Agreement, as amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time and at any time.

                  2.       AG and IM, Inc. are each corporations all of whose
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock are wholly owned by Escalade,
Incorporated, a corporation incorporated and existing under the laws of Indiana
("Escalade").

                  3.       AG wishes to sell all of the Receivables that it owns
as of the Effective Date to IM, Inc., and IM, Inc. is willing, on the terms and
subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, to purchase such
Receivables from AG as of the date hereof.

                  4.       IM, Inc., in the Services Agreement, has appointed
Indian Industries, Inc. and Martin Yale Industries, Inc. as the Servicer to
collect Assigned Receivables which IM, Inc. purchases from AG.

                  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements,
provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1            AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

                  Section 1.1. Agreement to Purchase and Sell.

                  (a)      On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
and in consideration of the Purchase Price, AG hereby sells to the Buyer, and
the Buyer hereby purchases from AG, all of AG's right, title and interest in and
to:

                           (i)      all Assigned Receivables;

                           (ii)     all rights to, but not the obligations
                  under, all related Contracts and all Related Property with
                  respect thereto;

                           (iii)    all monies due or to become due with respect
                  to the foregoing; and

                           (iv)     all Collections in respect of, and other
                  proceeds of, such Assigned Receivables or any other of the
                  foregoing including, without limitation, all funds which
                  either are received by AG or the Buyer from or on behalf of or
                  for credit to

<PAGE>

                  the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including,
                  without limitation, finance charges, interest and all other
                  charges) in respect of such Assigned Receivables, or are
                  applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors (including,
                  without limitation, insurance payments, if any, that AG
                  applies in the ordinary course of its business to amounts owed
                  in respect of any such Assigned Receivable and the net
                  proceeds of sale or other disposition of goods or other
                  collateral or property of the Obligors or any other Person
                  directly or indirectly liable for payment of such Assigned
                  Receivable and available to be applied thereon, excluding,
                  however, proceeds of returned inventory).

                  The purchase hereunder shall be made without recourse, but
shall be made pursuant to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties
and covenants of AG, in its capacity as seller, set forth herein. The proceeds
and rights described in subsections (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 1.1(a)
are herein collectively called the "Related Rights".

                  Section 1.2 No Recourse. Except as specifically provided in
this Agreement, the purchase and sale of Receivables and Related Rights under
this Agreement shall be without recourse to AG; provided that AG shall be liable
to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made
by AG pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, it being understood that such
obligation of AG will not arise on account of the failure of any Obligor for
credit reasons to make any payment in respect of an Assigned Receivable.

                  Section 1.3. True Sales

                  (a)      Each of AG and the Buyer intends the transaction
hereunder constitutes an absolute and irrevocable purchase and sale of
Receivables and the Related Rights by AG to the Buyer providing the Buyer with
the full benefits of ownership of the Assigned Receivables, and neither party
hereto intends the transaction contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose
to be characterized as, a loan or similar advance from the Buyer to AG giving
rise to indebtedness secured by such Assigned Receivables and Related Rights.

                  (b)      In the event (but only to the extent) that the
transfer, assignment and conveyance of Assigned Receivables and Related Rights
hereunder is characterized by a court or other Governmental Authority as a loan
rather than a sale, AG shall be deemed hereunder to have granted to the Buyer,
and AG hereby grants to the Buyer, a security interest in all of AG's right,
title and interest in, to and under all of the Assigned Receivables and Related
Rights, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising. Such security
interest shall secure all of AG's obligations (monetary or otherwise) arising
under, pursuant to or by virtue of this Agreement (including any loan deemed to
have been made to AG pursuant hereto), whether now or hereafter existing or
arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent. The
Buyer shall have, with respect to the property described in this Section 1.3,
and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Buyer
under this Agreement and applicable law, all the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC, and this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, AG
hereby authorizes Buyer to file any financing statements, amendments,
continuation statements, or the like, as Buyer may deem necessary or appropriate
with any filing jurisdiction, signed by Buyer alone.

<PAGE>

                  BETWEEN INDIAN-MARTIN AG AND INDIAN- MARTIN, INC.

                  (d)      Such other agreements, instruments, UCC financing

have waived any claim it may have under this Agreement for the failure by AG in
fact to satisfy any such condition precedent.

ARTICLE 5            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  Section 5.1. Representations and Warranties. In order to
induce the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to make the purchase
hereunder, AG hereby represents and warrants as follows:

                  (a)      Organization and Good Standing. AG has been duly
organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the
laws of Switzerland, with power and authority to own its properties and to
conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is
presently conducted.

                  (b)      Power and Authority; Due Authorization. AG (i) has
all necessary power, authority and legal right to (A) execute and deliver this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (B) carry
out the terms of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and (C) sell
and assign the Assigned Receivables and Related Rights on the terms and
conditions herein provided and (ii) has duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

                  (c)      Binding Obligations. This Agreement constitutes, and
each other Transaction Document to be signed by AG when duly executed and
delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of AG
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law.

                  (d)      No Violation. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which AG
is a party and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof will not (i)
conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under
AG's articles of association or regulations on internal organization or any loan
or credit agreement, other agreement, indenture, lease or instrument of AG, or
by which it or its properties may be bound, (ii) result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon any of AG's properties pursuant to the terms of any
such loan or credit agreement, other agreement, indenture, lease or instrument,
other

                                        4
<PAGE>

than the Transaction Documents, or (iii) violate any requirements of law enacted
by any Governmental Authority.

                  (e)      No Proceedings. There is no litigation, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the best of AG's knowledge, threatened, before any
Governmental Authority or arbitrator (i) asserting the invalidity of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which AG is a party, or (ii)
seeking to prevent the sale and assignment of the Receivables and Related
Rights, the collectibility of any of the Receivables or the consummation of any
of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document.

                  (f)      Government Approvals. No action by a Governmental
Authority is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by AG of
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party.

                  (g)      Quality of Title; Valid Sale; Etc. Immediately prior
to the Initial Sale, AG is the legal and beneficial owner of each of the
Assigned Receivables and the Related Rights free and clear of any Lien; and the
Buyer shall acquire a valid and enforceable ownership interest in each Assigned
Receivable and in the Related Rights then existing or thereafter arising with
respect thereto, free and clear of any Lien. Each Assigned Receivable
constitutes an "account" as such term is defined in the UCC. No effective
financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering any Assigned
Receivable or Related Rights with respect thereto is on file in any recording
office, except those filed in favor of the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. All
Receivables were purchased by AG from Escalade Affiliates in accordance with the
terms and conditions contained in those certain receivables purchase agreements
entered into by and between AG and such Escalade Affiliates. The Assigned
Receivables constitute all of the Receivables owned by AG as of the Effective
Date.

                  (h)      Accuracy of Information. Each report, information,
exhibit, financial statement, document, book, record or report furnished by or
on behalf of it to the Buyer in connection with this Agreement is correct in all
material respects as of its date or as of the date so furnished, and no such
item contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially
misleading.

                  (i)      Offices. The principal place of business and chief
executive office of AG are located at the address of AG referred to in Section
9.2, and the offices where AG keeps all its books, records and documents
evidencing or relating to Assigned Receivables are located at the address of AG
referred to in Section 9.2 (or in jurisdictions where all action required by
Section 8.4 has been taken and completed).

                  (j)      Bulk Sales Act. No transaction contemplated hereby
requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

                  (k)      Maintenance of Books and Records. AG has accounted
for and will account for the sale of Assigned Receivables and Related Rights to
IM, Inc. in its books and financial statements as sales, consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                                        5
<PAGE>

                  (l)      Solvency. AG is solvent; and at the time of (and
immediately after) each sale pursuant to this Agreement it shall be solvent.

ARTICLE 6            INDEMNIFICATION

                  Section 6.1. Indemnities by AG. Without limiting any other
rights which the Buyer and each of its permitted assigns, officers, directors,
employees, agents, lenders or secured creditors (each of the foregoing Persons
being individually called a "Sale Indemnified Party") may have hereunder or
under applicable law, AG hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer
and each Sale Indemnified Party from and against any and all damages, losses,
claims, judgments, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing collectively
being called "Sale Indemnified Amounts") arising out of or resulting from this
Agreement (whether directly or indirectly) or the use of proceeds of purchases
or the purchase ownership of any Assigned Receivable or Related Rights,
excluding, however, (a) Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Buyer or such Sale
Indemnified Party, (b) Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same include
losses in respect of Assigned Receivables and reimbursement therefor that would
constitute credit recourse to AG for the amount of any Assigned Receivable or
Related Rights not paid by the Obligor for credit reasons, or (c) any net income
taxes or franchise taxes imposed on the Buyer or such Sale Indemnified Party.
Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, but subject to the
exclusions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, AG shall pay on
demand to the Buyer and each Sale Indemnified Party any and all amounts
necessary to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and such Sale Indemnified
Party from and against any and all Sale Indemnified Amounts relating to or
resulting from any of the following, with the express understanding that no such
claim shall arise solely due to the inability of a particular Obligor to satisfy
its obligations under a particular Assigned Receivable because it lacks the
financial resources to do so:

                           (i)      the transfer or assignment (by operation of
                  law or otherwise) by AG of an interest in any Assigned
                  Receivable or Related Rights to any Person other than the
                  Buyer;

                           (ii)     the failure of any information provided by
                  AG to the Buyer with respect to Assigned Receivables or this
                  Agreement to be true, correct and complete;

                           (iii)    the failure of any representation or
                  warranty or statement made or deemed made by AG (or any of its
