No claim has been made by any taxing authority in a jurisdiction
where DI does not file tax returns that DI is or may be subject
to taxation by that jurisdiction.
(c) There is no agreement or arrangement with any

(j) Except as to (i) the National Industrial
Group MultiEmployer Group Pension Plan as to which DI was
obligated to make contributions through September, 1995, and
(ii) the UIU MultiEmployer Group Pension Plan to which DI has

environmental statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances and common
laws and settlement agreements, consent decrees or orders of any
governmental entity to which DI is a party, all as in effect as
of the date hereof ("Environmental Laws"), except where the
failure to be in compliance is not likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect. DI holds and is in compliance with all
environmental permits, certificates, licenses, approvals,
registrations and authorizations required for its business as
currently operated and required under Environmental Laws
("Environmental Permits"), which are in full force and effect as
of the date hereof, except where the failure of such
Environmental Permits to be so held or in full force and effect
or of the Company to be in compliance therewith is not likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) DI has made timely application for renewals
of all such Environmental Permits as are to expire by
December 31, 1996, except Environmental Permits, for which, by
their terms or by operation of law, renewal applications need not
be made before their expiration or the failure to renew which is
not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge
of DI and each of the Warranting Shareholders, all such
Environmental Permits should be renewed in the ordinary course
and should not be renewed with conditions which would require the
expenditure of money in such amounts or result in changes that
are likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

order has been received, no complaint has been served, no penalty
has been assessed and, to the knowledge of DI, no investigation
or review is pending or has been threatened by any governmental
or other entity within the five-year period immediately preceding
the date hereof or if prior to that time period which remains
unresolved, which could require DI to expend money or abide by
conditions contained in settlement agreements or consent decrees
to which DI is a party to an extent which is likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Merger Sub as the successor to DI
following the Merger: (i) with respect to any alleged violation
by DI or any of its predecessors in interest of any Environmental
Law; or (ii) with respect to any alleged failure by DI to have
complied with any Environmental Permit required in connection
with its business; or (iii) with respect to any use, possession,
generation, treatment, storage, recycling, transportation or
disposal (collectively, "Management" or when used as a verb,
("Managed") or Release (as hereinafter defined) of any hazardous
or toxic or polluting substance or waste, pollutant or
contaminant, including, without limitation, petroleum products
and radioactive materials, ("Hazardous Substances") by or on
behalf of DI or any of its predecessors in interest.
(d) DI has not received any request for
information, notice of claim, demand or notification that it is
or may be potentially responsible, with respect to any
investigation or clean-up of any threatened or actual release of
any Hazardous Substance within the five-year period immediately
preceding the date hereof or if prior to that time period which
remains unresolved, which could require DI to expend money to an
extent which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Merger Sub as the successor to DI following the Merger.
(e) DI has not and, to the knowledge of DI or
either of the Warranting Shareholders, no one else has generated,

Effective Time, CTC or any of its representatives is requested
pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal
process to disclose any of such information and documents, CTC
will notify DI promptly so that DI may seek a protective order or
other appropriate remedy or, in its sole discretion, waive
compliance with the terms of this Section 5.8. CTC agrees not to
oppose any action to obtain a protective order or other
appropriate remedy. In the event that no such protective order
or other remedy sought is obtained, CTC will furnish only that
portion of such information and documents which CTC is advised by
counsel is legally required and will exercise all reasonable
efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment

ARTICLE VII
-----------
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF CTC STOCK;
--------------------------------------
REGISTRATION RIGHTS; BOARD REPRESENTATION
-----------------------------------------
7.1. Restrictions on Transfer and Certain Activities.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) Representations of DI Shareholders. Each DI
----------------------------------
Shareholder hereby covenants and represents that such DI
Shareholder:
(i) understands that the shares of CTC
Stock which such DI Shareholder is to receive pursuant to
Article I hereof and the Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Shares") have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and, when delivered in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be "restricted
securities" (securities acquired from an issuer in a transaction
not involving any public offering) as defined in Rule 144 of the
General Rules and Regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act
("Rule 144");
(ii) has no present plan or intention to
effect any transfer of the Merger Shares to any person or other
entity (including a Permitted Transferee as hereinafter defined),
and, except as otherwise contemplated by the provisions of
Section 7.2 hereof, will hold the Merger Shares for a minimum of
two years following the Closing Date (unless the holding period
applicable to resales of restricted securities (the "Limited 144
Resale Period") is reduced from two years to one year as proposed
in SEC 1933 Act Release No. 7187 (6-27-95), in which case such
two-year period shall be automatically reduced to one year), and
will not consummate any sale or transfer of any Merger Shares in
the absence of registration thereof under the 1933 Act (other
than in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144), unless and
until such DI Shareholder shall have delivered to CTC an opinion
of Xxxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, or other counsel chosen by such DI
Shareholder, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to
CTC and its counsel, to the effect that such sale or transfer may
be effected without registration under the 1933 Act;
(iii) undertakes that, throughout the
Standstill Term (as hereinafter defined), such DI Shareholder
will not agree to or arrange for or effect the transfer (other
than pursuant to the procedures contemplated by Section 7.2) in a
single transaction or related series of transactions (other than
a disposition to a Permitted Transferee) to a single purchaser or
related or affiliated group of purchasers of more than the
maximum number of Merger Shares which such DI Shareholder could
then sell or transfer in a transaction or transactions effected
in full compliance with Rule 144(e)(1), assuming that such Rule
was then applicable, unless and until such DI Shareholder first
advises CTC of the intention so to do in writing and provides CTC
with an opportunity to respond to such advice within ten business
days of receipt thereof by CTC (the "Response Period") by
agreeing to repurchase (the "Repurchase Right") such Merger
Shares (the "Offered Merger Shares") at the same price offered by
such purchaser or group; provided, however, that such DI
-------- -------
Shareholder will be obligated to effect such sale to CTC only if
capital gain treatment of the transaction is assured under
section 302(b) of the Code; and
(iv) throughout the Standstill Term, except
with the prior express written consent of CTC or in the capacity
of a DI Designee (as defined in Section 7.3), neither such DI
Shareholder nor any of such DI Shareholder's affiliates (as
hereinafter defined), will, nor will such DI Shareholder or any
of such affiliates assist or encourage others to, directly or
indirectly:
(A) effect, or offer, seek or propose
to effect, or cause to be effected, any (i) acquisition of
ownership (including, but not limited to, "beneficial ownership"
as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 0000 Xxx) by such DI
Shareholder of any additional shares of CTC Stock (which hereby
waives any right such DI Shareholder might otherwise have as a DI
Designee to participate in CTC's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
for Non-Employee Directors) or any other CTC Voting Securities
(as hereinafter defined) other than CTC Voting Securities issued
pursuant to a stock split or dividend or distribution in respect
of CTC Stock or any material portion of CTC's assets or any
rights or options to acquire such ownership (including from a
third party); or (ii) tender or exchange offer, merger or other
business combination involving CTC or any of its subsidiaries
(which shall not prevent any DI Shareholder from accepting any
such offer or voting for and participating in any such merger or
other business combination; provided, however, that such DI
-------- -------
Shareholder shall advise CTC with reasonable promptness of such
DI Shareholder's intention to accept any tender or exchange offer
in order to permit CTC to exercise the Repurchase Right with
respect to the applicable Merger Shares, and such DI Shareholder
shall not accept such offer until the final day prior to its
then-scheduled expiration); or (iii) recapitalization or
restructuring resulting in an increase in the proportional
percentage of CTC Voting Securities held by such DI Shareholder
or liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction
involving CTC or any of its subsidiaries (which shall not prevent
any DI Shareholder from voting for and participating in any such
transaction);
(B) make or in any way participate in
any "solicitation" of "proxies" (as such terms are defined or
used in Regulation 14A under the 0000 Xxx) or become a
"participant" in any "election contest" (as such terms are
defined or used in Rule 14a-11 under the 0000 Xxx) with respect
to CTC; seek to advise or influence any person (within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act), other than members
of the initial "group" referred to in clause (C), with respect to
the voting of any CTC Voting Securities; or execute any written
consent in lieu of a meeting of holders of CTC Voting Securities;
(C) form, join or in any way
participate in a "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
of the 0000 Xxx) with respect to any CTC Voting Securities or
otherwise act (other than by the voting of CTC Voting
Securities), alone or in concert with others, to seek to control
or influence CTC's Board of Directors, management or corporate
policies, other than any such actions undertaken solely with
other DI Shareholders and their Permitted Transferees; or
(D) enter into any negotiations,
arrangements, agreements or understandings with any third party
with respect to any of the foregoing.
(b) Legend on Certificates. The certificates
----------------------
representing the Merger Shares will bear the following legend:
"The shares of stock evidenced by this certificate have
not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and are transferable only upon such
registration or upon proof of exemption therefrom.
Certain conditions precedent to the transfer of these
shares are set forth in an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated January 6, 1997 among Dynamet Incorporated, the
shareholders of Dynamet Incorporated and Xxxxxxxxx
Technology Corporation (which Agreement and Plan of
Merger is on file with Xxxxxxxxx Technology
Corporation)."
(c) Stop Transfer Instructions. At the time of
--------------------------
the delivery of the certificates representing the Merger Shares,
stop transfer instructions with respect to such certificates will
be given by CTC to the transfer agent for CTC Stock.
(d) Procedure for Repurchases by CTC. In the
--------------------------------
event that CTC elects to exercise its Repurchase Right with
respect to Offered Merger Shares under subsection (a)(iii), CTC
will within the Response Period deliver to the disposing DI
Shareholder written notice stating the date, time and place for
the closing of the repurchase transaction, which date shall not
be more than five business days after the notice date. Such
notice shall be accompanied by an opinion of Dechert Price &
Xxxxxx, or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the disposing
DI Shareholder, to the effect that the repurchase by CTC will
result in capital gain treatment to such DI Shareholder under
section 302(b) of the Code. Unless otherwise agreed, the
purchase price for the Offered Merger Shares shall be paid in
full at such closing by certified check or wire transfer against
delivery of the appropriate stock certificates, duly endorsed or
accompanied by duly executed stock transfer powers. If CTC does
not deliver such notice and opinion within the Response Period,
the disposing DI Shareholder shall be free to dispose of the
Offered Merger Shares to any third party (subject to compliance
with all applicable federal and state securities laws), and CTC
will take all action necessary to permit such disposition to be
effected without further restrictions, including removal of the
legend contemplated by subsection (b) hereof and voiding of the
stop transfer instructions contemplated by subsection (c).
(e) Permitted Transferees.
---------------------
(i) Nothing in this Section 7.1 shall
prevent the disposition of Merger Shares by a DI Shareholder or a
Permitted Transferee to one or more of his, her or its Permitted
Transferees, to another DI Shareholder or to CTC; provided, however,
-------- -------
that each such DI Shareholder or Permitted Transferee (except a
Permitted Transferee pursuant to clause (D), (E), (F) or (G) of
subsection (e)(ii), hereinafter referred to as an "Unrestricted
Permitted Transferee") shall take such Merger Shares subject to
and be fully bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to
such person with the same effect as if such person were a party
hereto; and provided, further, that
-------- -------
(A) no such transferee (other than an
Unrestricted Permitted Transferee) shall be a Permitted
Transferee unless such transferee executes a representation
letter embodying the substantive provisions of Article VII of
this Agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
CTC, and
(B) no disposition shall be effected
except in compliance with the registration requirements of the
1933 Act or pursuant to an available exemption therefrom.
(ii) "Permitted Transferee" shall mean:
(A) in the case of any DI Shareholder
or Permitted Transferee who is a natural person, his or her
spouse or lineal descendants, any trust for his or her benefit or
the benefit of his or her spouse or lineal descendants or the
benefit of any combination thereof, or any corporation or
partnership in which the direct and beneficial owners of all of
the equity interests are any combination of such individual DI
Shareholder or Permitted Transferee and his or her spouse and
lineal descendants and any trusts for the benefit of any
combination of such persons; provided, that any such trust,
--------
partnership or corporation shall not be subject to any
obligations inconsistent with the obligations of a DI Shareholder
or Permitted Transferee under this Agreement;
(B) in the case of any DI Shareholder
or Permitted Transferee who is a natural person, his or her
heirs, executors, administrators or personal representatives upon
the death of such DI Shareholder or Permitted Transferee or upon
the incompetency or disability of such DI Shareholder or
Permitted Transferee for purposes of the protection and
management of his or her assets;
(C) in the case of any DI Shareholder
or Permitted Transferee that is a corporation, partnership or
trust, its shareholders, partners or beneficiaries, as the case
may be (other than any person who becomes a shareholder, partner
or beneficiary solely to enable him, her or it to become a
Permitted Transferee) and, in the case of any DI Shareholder or
Permitted Transferee, any affiliate thereof;
(D) the Rossin Foundation or any other
charitable, religious or philanthropic organization qualified
under section 501(c)(3) of the Code and any charitable remainder
trust as defined in Section 664 of the Code, either of which is
an affiliate of any DI Shareholder, which shall be an
Unrestricted Permitted Transferee only with respect to the
initial 200,000 Merger Shares transferred thereto, and which
shall acquire any additional Merger Shares subject to the general
restrictions of subsection (e)(i);
(E) any charitable, religious or
philanthropic organization qualified under section 501(c)(3) of
the Code and any charitable remainder trust as defined in Section
664 of the Code, other than the Rossin Foundation or any other
such organization which is an affiliate of any DI Shareholder;
(F) any person or other entity if such
person or other entity takes such Merger Shares in a transaction
in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof or another public offering
under the 1933 Act or in a transaction in accordance with Rule
144; or
(G) any person acquiring Merger Shares
from any DI Shareholder or Permitted Transferee after full
compliance with subsection (d) hereof.
(iii) As used in this Section 7.1,
"affiliate" means any person controlling, controlled by or under
common control with a specified person. "Disposition" includes
any sale, exchange, assignment, hypothecation, gift, donation or
any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect
to the transfer of voting rights or any other beneficial interest
in any of the Merger Shares.
(f) Duration of Standstill Term.
---------------------------
(i) The period during which the provisions
of this Section 7.1 shall be effective (the "Standstill
Term") shall begin on the Closing Date and shall end on the
earlier to occur of (A) the date upon which the percentage of the
voting power of the CTC Voting Securities held by the DI
Shareholders and their Permitted Transferees bound by the
provisions of Article VII of this Agreement is less than 5% of
the voting power of all outstanding CTC Voting Securities or
(B) the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however,
-------- -------
that the Standstill Term shall terminate immediately upon CTC's
failure to honor or to carry out its obligations with respect to
the election of a DI Designee to the CTC Board of Directors under
Section 7.3(a) hereof or the occurrence of a CTC Change of
Control Event (as hereinafter defined).
(ii) As used in this Section 7.1, a "CTC
Change of Control Event" means a transaction or series of
transactions (including any tender or exchange offer, merger,
sale of assets or other business combination, contested election
of directors or any combination thereof) as the result of which
(A) any person, together with all affiliates of such person, or
group (other than CTC, any subsidiary of CTC, any employee
benefit plan of CTC or of any subsidiary of CTC, any person or
entity organized, appointed or established by CTC for or pursuant
to the terms of any such employee benefit plan or any group of
which any DI Shareholder is a member and in which such DI
Shareholder participates in his capacity as a stockholder of the
Company) shall become the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the
voting power of all CTC Voting Securities then outstanding, other
than a transaction to which CTC is a party and in connection with
which such person or group enters into a "standstill" agreement
with CTC which has a duration not less than the remaining term of
the Standstill Term and contains covenants and conditions, which
shall not thereafter be modified or waived prior to the end of
the Standstill Term, relating to the sale and acquisition of CTC
Voting Securities and the exercise of voting rights which are at
least as restrictive as those contained herein; or (B) during any
period of two consecutive calendar years there is a change of 50%
or more in the membership of the Board of Directors of CTC from
the directors in office at the beginning of such period except
for changes approved by at least two-thirds of the directors then
in office who were directors at the beginning of the period; or
(C) persons who were the holders of CTC Voting Securities immediately
prior to such transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own more
than 50% of the voting power of the reorganized, merged, consolidated,
combined or acquiring corporation's then outstanding voting securities.
A CTC Change of Control Event shall be deemed to have occurred on the
date upon which any of the foregoing results is consummated or becomes
effective.
(iii) "CTC Voting Securities" shall mean CTC
Stock and any other securities of CTC entitled to vote generally
for the election of directors of CTC; and "voting power" means,
with respect to any CTC Voting Security, the maximum number of
votes that such security is entitled to cast generally for the
election of directors.
7.2. Registration of CTC Stock.
-------------------------
(a) Form S-3 or Other Registration Statement on
-------------------------------------------
Demand. On one occasion at any time after the first to occur of
------
(i) the first anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) the death
of either Xxxxx or Xxx Xxxxxx, CTC will file with the SEC within
60 days after being so requested by the holders of a majority of
the Merger Shares then held by the DI Shareholders a registration
statement on Form S-3 (or, if such form shall not then be
available for use by CTC in connection with such proposed
offering, on any other appropriate form) under the 1933 Act and
will include therein such number of the Merger Shares as the DI
Shareholders shall designate in writing to CTC no later than ten
days prior to the proposed date of such filing. CTC will use its
reasonable commercial efforts to have such registration statement
declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing
thereof, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth.
(b) Additional Registration Rights. If, at any
------------------------------
time, CTC files a registration statement (including a
registration statement filed under Rule 415 under the 1933 Act),
contemplating a public offering of CTC Voting Securities, other
than in connection with a business acquisition or combination
transaction or a stock purchase, stock option or other employee
benefit plan or a dividend reinvestment plan, the DI Shareholders
will have the right to have all or a portion of the Merger Shares
included in such registration to the extent designated in writing
to CTC within ten days following receipt of notice by DI
Shareholders of the proposed registration from CTC; provided however,
----------------
that the period during which CTC shall be required to keep such
registration statement effective shall be limited to 90 days; and
provided, further, that CTC may delay the filing or suspend the
-------- -------
effectiveness of such registration statement for a reasonable
period of time if it reasonably believes that such filing would
require the disclosure of information then held confidential or
would disrupt or prejudice the negotiation or completion of any
contemplated or pending financing, acquisition, disposition or
other significant corporate transaction, and that CTC may exclude
all or a portion of such Merger Shares from any offering under such
registration statement if it is advised by the managing underwriter
for such offering if the offering is underwritten that the inclusion
of such shares or such portion in the offering would prejudice or
impair the marketability thereof, so long as any such reduction is
effected pro rata with the shares of any other shareholder exercising
rights similar to the rights provided in this Section 7.2(b).
(c) Undertakings of Participating Sellers. As a
-------------------------------------
condition of any such registration under Section 7.2(a) or (b),
the DI Shareholders electing to participate therein (the
"Participating Sellers") will (i) furnish such information to CTC
and take such additional action as CTC and its counsel may
reasonably request in connection with such registration statement
and the offering contemplated thereby; (ii) agree to indemnify
CTC (to the extent reasonably deemed necessary by CTC) with
respect to the accuracy of any information so furnished;
(iii) pay all (or a pro rata portion, if CTC itself, or other
holders of CTC Stock, elect to participate in such registration,
of) the underwriting discounts and commissions or brokerage
commissions, and the fees and expenses of their own counsel in
excess of $10,000, it being understood that all other costs and
expenses associated with such registration, including SEC
registration fees, printing costs and blue sky fees and expenses
will be borne by CTC; and (iv) cooperate with CTC and its
representatives to cause such registration statement to become
effective at the earliest practicable time. Upon request, CTC
will furnish the Participating Sellers with such number of copies
of the prospectus related to any such registration statement as
the Participating Sellers may reasonably request.
(d) Indemnification by CTC. In connection with
----------------------
any offering and registration statement contemplated by the
foregoing provisions, CTC shall indemnify each Participating
Seller against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever (i) arising out of any untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such registration statement at the
time it becomes effective or the final prospectus or any
supplement thereto is filed in connection with such registration
statement, or any omission therefrom of a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to CTC
by a Participating Seller for use in such registration statement,
prospectus or supplement, or (ii) arising out of any violation by
CTC of any law or rule or regulation relating to action or
inaction required of CTC in connection with such registration
statement or the offering thereunder; provided, however, that CTC
-------- -------
shall not be liable hereunder with respect to any claim made
against any Participating Seller unless CTC shall be notified in
writing of the existence of the claim within thirty days after
the assertion thereof in writing; and provided, further, that CTC
-------- -------
shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the
defense or, if it so elects within thirty days after receipt of
such notice, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce
any such claim. If a Participating Seller's right to the
indemnification hereinbefore provided for is for any reason held
unenforceable although otherwise applicable in accordance with
its terms, CTC will contribute to the loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense for which such indemnification is held
unenforceable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits to CTC, on the one hand, and such Participating
Seller, on the other hand, of the transaction giving rise to such
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense and the relative fault
of CTC, on the one hand, and such Participating Seller, on the
other hand, with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage
or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.
(e) Underwritten Offerings. In any case where
----------------------
the shares of CTC Stock registered pursuant to this Section 7.2
are to be sold and distributed by means of or as part of an
underwritten public offering,
(i) if the offering is pursuant to Section
7.2(a), the managing underwriter shall be X. X. Xxxxxx Securities
Inc. or such other investment banking firm of national reputation
as CTC shall select and to the selection of whom the majority of
Participating Sellers shall consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld);
(ii) CTC will use its best efforts to cause
the registration statement to remain current (including the
filing of necessary supplements or post-effective amendments)
throughout the period commencing on the initial effective date
thereof and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which the
underwriting distribution is completed or (B) the expiration of
nine months; and
(iii) CTC will agree to indemnify all
participating underwriters and controlling persons thereof, such
indemnification to be in substantially the form and to the effect
customarily proposed by the managing underwriter in similar
transactions, with such modifications therein as may be agreed
upon by such underwriters and CTC.
7.3. Board Representation.
--------------------
(a) Designation of Candidate. CTC will cause
------------------------
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx or, if he is unable for any reason to serve, a
person designated by the DI Shareholders then holding a majority
of the Merger Shares and reasonably acceptable to CTC, to be
elected to CTC's Board of Directors as of the Closing Date.
Thereafter, during the Standstill Term and subject to the further
provisions hereof, CTC's Corporate Governance Committee (or any
other committee of its Board of Directors exercising a similar
function) shall recommend to CTC's Board of Directors that such
person or any other person designated by the DI Shareholders then
holding a majority of the Merger Shares after consultation with
and reasonably acceptable to CTC (any such person including Xx.
Xxxxxx being hereinafter referred to as the "DI Designee") be
included and such person shall be included in the slate of
nominees recommended by CTC's Board of Directors to stockholders
for election as directors at each annual meeting of stockholders
of CTC at which members of the class of directors to which the DI
Designee is originally appointed are to be elected, commencing
with the next annual meeting of stockholders. In the event that
any DI Designee shall cease to serve as a director for any
reason, the vacancy resulting thereby shall be filled by another
DI Designee. Upon expiration of the Standstill Term, CTC shall
have no further obligations under this Section 7.3.
(b) Acceptability. Notwithstanding the
-------------
provisions of this Section 7.3, the DI Shareholders shall not be
entitled to designate any person as the DI Designee to CTC's
Board of Directors if the election of such person as a director
would result in any violation of any applicable law or order.
CTC shall not be obligated to elect to its Board of Directors any
person whose service as a member thereof would have or be
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on CTC's
conduct of its business or such Board's ability to carry out or
discharge its responsibilities. If any such person has been
designated by the DI Shareholders and rejected by CTC, the DI
Shareholders shall be permitted to designate a substitute DI
Designee in accordance with this Section.
7.4. No Disposition Inconsistent with Reorganization.
-----------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any provisions set forth in this Article VII to
the contrary, the DI Shareholders will make no disposition of any
of the Merger Shares which, on a stand-alone basis or together
with any other dispositions previously made by the DI
Shareholders, would disqualify the Merger as a reorganization
under sections 368(a)(1)(A) and (a)(2)(D) of the Code, and in no
event will the aggregate number of Merger Shares disposed of by
the DI Shareholders in the first year of the Standstill Term
(including dispositions to Permitted Transferees) exceed 630,000,
except dispositions occasioned by the death of a DI Shareholder
or a Permitted Transferee or as otherwise contemplated by
Section 7.2(a).

hereto or any certificate or financial statement delivered
pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute

DI stockholdings) indemnify, defend and hold harmless CTC and DI
from and against:
(a) any loss, liability, claim, obligation, fine,
penalty, damage, deficiency or cost of investigation, remediation
or other response activity (collectively, "Damages") arising out
of or resulting from any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or
nonfulfillment of any agreement (other than Section 4.7) on the
part of DI and the DI Shareholders contained in this Agreement or
in any certificate furnished to CTC pursuant hereto; and
(b) any actions, judgments, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and all other expenses
incurred in investigating, preparing for or defending any
litigation, settlement or other proceeding) incident to any of
the foregoing or the enforcement of this Section 8.2; provided, however,
-------- -------
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no DI
Shareholder shall have any obligation to indemnify, defend or hold
harmless CTC or DI from and against any (i) Damages arising out of,
resulting from or otherwise relating to (x) any violation of, default
under, breach of, or conflict with, any Environmental Law or
Environmental Permit or (y) the subject matter of Section 2.25 in any
manner or (ii) any actions, judgments, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and all other expenses incurred in
investigating, preparing for or defending any litigation, settlement
or other proceeding) incident to any of the foregoing.
8.3. Indemnification by CTC. (a) CTC shall indemnify,
----------------------
defend and hold harmless the DI Shareholders from and against:
(i) any Damages arising out of or resulting
from any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment
of any agreement on the part of CTC contained in this Agreement
or in any certificate furnished pursuant hereto; and
(ii) any actions, judgments, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and all other
expenses incurred in investigating, preparing for or defending
any litigation, settlement or other proceeding) incident to any
of the foregoing or the enforcement of this Section.
(b) CTC and DI shall indemnify, defend and hold

(including reasonable attorneys' fees and all other expenses
incurred in investigating, preparing for or defending any
litigation, settlement or other proceeding) incident to any of
the foregoing or the enforcement of this Section other than any
such Damages, actions, judgments, costs or expenses arising out
of or resulting from or otherwise incident to any such claims
relating to any such violations by DI's Forged Products Division
if the transactions contemplated by Section 9.3 are consummated.
8.4. Notification of Actions; Control of Proceedings
-----------------------------------------------
and Cooperation. A party potentially entitled to indemnification
---------------
("Indemnitee") hereunder shall give the party under the
obligation to provide indemnification hereunder ("Indemnitor")
written notice of any third-party claim for which the Indemnitee
may be entitled to indemnification hereunder specifying the
nature of the claim in reasonable detail and amount, all to the
extent known, within 60 days after the Indemnitee has knowledge
of such third-party claim. The Indemnitor shall have the right,
by giving written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days after
receipt of the notice hereinbefore described, to assume control
of such defense using counsel of its choice at its expense. If
the Indemnitor shall not so assume control of such defense, or,
having assumed control, shall fail to defend the claim
diligently, the Indemnitee shall retain or reassert control and
dispose of the claim without in any way affecting its rights to
indemnification hereunder. The parties hereto will cooperate
with one another in any defense and the Indemnitee, with respect
to any claim, shall be entitled to participate at its own expense
in the defense of any such claim following assumption of control
of such defense of any such claim by Indemnitor as hereinbefore
provided. Except as hereinbefore provided, neither Indemnitee
nor Indemnitor shall enter into any agreement, compromise or
settlement in respect of any such claim without first obtaining
the other party's written consent thereto, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.
8.5. Limitations. With respect to any Damages
-----------
resulting from misrepresentations and breaches of warranties of
any party hereto, (a) any calculation of such Damages or costs
shall take into account any actual tax benefit realized or tax
cost incurred by either the Indemnitee or the Indemnitor in
connection therewith, (b) such Damages or costs shall only be a
basis for a claim against an Indemnitor to the extent that the
aggregate dollar amount of all Damages and costs incurred by an
Indemnitee for which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to
indemnification hereunder have exceeded $1,000,000, and (c) only
claims with respect to Damages of which an Indemnitor receives
written notice from an Indemnitee prior to the expiration of the
relevant survival period specified in Section 8.1 shall survive
such expiration and be enforceable as otherwise provided in this
Article VIII. Any such written notice, to be effective, must
specify with reasonable detail the nature and amount of the
indemnity claim.
8.6. Satisfaction of Claims with CTC Stock. Any
-------------------------------------
obligation of any DI Shareholder under this Article VIII may be
discharged by payment in cash or, in whole or in part at the
election of such DI Shareholder, by the delivery to CTC, in
negotiable form and free from any lien, security interest,
encumbrance or claim, of a certificate or certificates
representing on the date of delivery thereof to CTC such number
of shares of CTC Stock as shall have an aggregate fair market
value (as hereinafter defined) on such date equal to that portion
of the obligation for which such election has been made. For
purposes of this Section 8.6, the term fair market value of one
share of CTC Stock shall mean, with respect to any particular
date, the average of the closing sale prices of CTC Stock as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape for the
immediately preceding ten days on which trading in CTC Stock
occurred.
8.7. Definition of Material Adverse Effect. For
-------------------------------------
purposes of the determination of any Damages and the application
of the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII only, the
term "Material Adverse Effect" as such term appears in the
representations and warranties of DI and the Warranting
Shareholders in Article II hereof (or any qualification or
limitation of any such representations and warranties as to
materiality) shall exclude the assets, liabilities, revenues and
income attributable to DI's Forged Products Division if the
transactions contemplated by Section 9.3 are consummated.

and CTC will indemnify and hold harmless such DI Shareholders
from and against liability thereunder after the Closing Date to

respective authorized representatives such reasonable access, during normal
business hours and upon prior written notice, to books and records of DI
(including, without limitation, all books of account and tax records) as the
DI Shareholders may reasonably request in connection with (a) the

of any claim of CTC for indemnification under this Agreement and shall

9.6. Assignability; Successors and Assigns. Except as
-------------------------------------
hereinafter contemplated, this Agreement and the rights of the
parties hereunder may not be assigned by any party without the
prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein contained shall prohibit the assignment
by CTC of certain or all of its rights hereunder to Merger Sub or
one or more other wholly-owned subsidiaries of CTC; provided, however,
-------- -------
that no such assignment shall limit or affect CTC's obligations
hereunder; nor shall any assignment by operation of law in
connection with the merger, consolidation or dissolution of any
party hereto be prohibited. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement and all rights and powers granted and obligations
created hereby will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors, assigns and personal
representatives.
9.7. Governing Law; Remedies. This Agreement shall be
-----------------------
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applicable to agreements made and to
be performed wholly within such jurisdiction, without regard to
the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. The parties
acknowledge that a breach by a party hereto of the provisions of
Article VII will cause irreparable damage to the other parties,
the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to
ascertain, and that such other parties' remedies at law for any
such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, upon breach or
threatened breach of the covenants and undertakings contained in
Article VII, such other parties shall be entitled to injunctive
or other equitable relief in any court of the United States or
any state thereof having jurisdiction.
9.8. Headings. The headings preceding the text of the
--------
sections and subsections hereof are inserted solely for
convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or
effect.
9.9. Amendment and Waiver. CTC and DI may by mutual
--------------------
written agreement amend this Agreement in any respect. CTC and
DI may also (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the
obligations of any other party, and (b) waive (i) any
inaccuracies in representations by any other party,
(ii) compliance by any other party with any of the agreements
contained herein and performance of any obligations by such other
party, and (iii) the fulfillment of any condition that is
required prior to the performance by such party of any of its
obligations under this Agreement. To be effective, any such
amendment or waiver must be signed by an authorized
representative of the party against whom enforcement of the same
is sought.
9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the
----------------
Exhibits and Schedules hereto, each of which is hereby
incorporated herein, set forth all of the promises, covenants,
agreements, conditions and undertakings between the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede
all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings,
inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written
with respect to the subject matter hereof.
9.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may
-------------------------
be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
termed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

---------------------------------
(a) Each DI Shareholder hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx his or her agent and

contemplated by Section 1.2(b)(ii) hereof, the receipt from CTC
of the cash payment and stock certificate contemplated by such
Section and the delivery to such DI Shareholder of such cash
payment and stock certificate. Any action taken by the Agent for
Delivery pursuant to the authority granted hereby will be
effective and absolutely binding on each DI Shareholder and
without recourse notwithstanding any contrary action of or
direction from such DI Shareholder, except in the case of willful
misconduct or actions taken in bad faith by the Agent for
Delivery. The death or incapacity of any DI Shareholder will not
terminate the authority and agency of the Agent for Delivery.
CTC will not be obligated to inquire into the authority of the
Agent for Delivery and will be fully protected in dealing with
the Agent for Delivery in lieu of the several DI Shareholders as
to matters set forth herein.
(b) The Agent for Delivery is hereby fully

a receipt for the cash payment and the certificate representing
