Finprogetti S.p.A. ("Seller"), an Italian corporation.
R E C I T A L S
Purchaser is undertaking a redemption offer to its public
shareholders to repurchase up to 80% of their shareholdings, an operation
which could cost as much as $15,000,000 (US). However, as the maintaining
of Purchaser's status as a public company the shares of which are quoted on
NASDAQ is deemed essential by Seller and Purchaser, both parties intend to
make every effort to encourage the maintenance of the current level of
public equity participation in Purchaser and, if possible, to increase the
level of such participation.
Purchaser owns all or a majority equity interest in several
subsidiaries, including American Finance S.p.A., OAM S.p.A., GBM S.p.A.,
Maserati Automobiles Inc., Newstead Ltd., and Tridentis S.A. OAM SpA,
approximately 84% of which is owned by Purchaser through American Finance
S.p.A. and approximately 15.6% of which is owned by a subsidiary of
Chrysler Corporation, has cash of approximately Lit. 40,000,000,000 which
will be available for use in connection with the contemplated merchant
banking operations to be undertaken after the closing of the Transactions
(as defined below).

Seller is the owner of all or substantially all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Finprogetti International Holding
S.A., a Luxembourg corporation, Finprogetti Investimenti Immobiliari S.p.A.
(formerly known as Intertrust S.p.A.), an Italian corporation and
Finprogetti Servizi S.p.A. The shares issued by the Finprogetti
Subsidiaries (the "Finprogetti Subsidiaries") are hereinafter referred to
as the "Finprogetti Stock". Seller is also the owner of a loan to
Finprogetti Investimenti Immobiliari S.p.A. in the amount of Lit.
25,440,000,000 and a loan to Finprogetti Servizi S.p.A. in the amount of
Lit. 2,345,000,000 (the "Finprogetti Loans"; the Finprogetti Stock and the
Finprogetti Loans are collectively referred to as the "Finprogetti
Subsidiary Shares"). Purchaser desires to acquire the Finprogetti
Subsidiary Shares from Seller in exchange for shares of DTI common stock,
$2.50 par value per share ("DTI Common Stock"), upon the terms and subject
to the conditions hereinafter set forth. In addition, Seller (i) shall
invest or shall cause others to invest Lit. 15,000,000,000 in DTI for the
purchase of additional shares of DTI Common Stock, and (ii) shall be
granted an option to purchase additional shares of DTI Stock. (Such
exchange of shares, capital investment and option to invest an additional

Common Stock and all other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
referred to herein as the "Transactions").

dated April 27, 1995 and an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement
dated as of June 30, 1995 and wish to amend and restate in their entirety
such agreements. Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and mutual

Purchaser and Seller are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as
provided herein.
SECTION 1.2 Stock for Stock Exchange. Subject to the terms and
------------------------
conditions contained in this Agreement, Seller hereby transfers and
delivers to Purchaser the Finprogetti Subsidiary Shares in exchange for
certain shares of DTI Common Stock and Purchaser hereby sells, assigns,

approximate amount of Lit. 15,000,000,000, as of the Closing Date, and (ii)
pays to Finprogetti US $100.
SECTION 1.3 Exchange Ratio. 2,035,786 shares of DTI Common
--------------
Stock shall be issued (the "DTI Exchange Shares") in exchange for the
Finprogetti Subsidiary Shares, which number has been determined by dividing
the "Agreed Finprogetti Value" by the "DTI Value Per Share". For purposes
hereof:
"Agreed Finprogetti Value" shall mean Lit. 40,933,000,000 for the
Finprogetti Subsidiaries, including for purposes of such valuation all
subsidiaries of the Finprogetti Subsidiaries and 100% ownership of XXX
S.r.l.; and
29
"DTI Value Per Share" shall mean Lit. 20,106.73 per share of DTI
Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.6(a) hereof.
SECTION 1.4 Delivery of DTI Exchange Shares. Subject to Section
-------------------------------
6.4, as of the Closing Date, DTI shall issue and deliver to the Seller the
DTI Exchange Shares.
SECTION 1.5 Delivery of Finprogetti Subsidiary Shares. As of
-----------------------------------------
the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of
any lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance,
certificates representing 100% of the Finprogetti Stock, duly endorsed to
Purchaser or its designee, and exchange of correspondence for 100% of the
Finprogetti Loans, together with other instruments of transfer, duly
executed, and accompanied by all requisite stock transfer stamps.
SECTION 1.6 Additional Capital Investments.
------------------------------
(a) Seller covenants and agrees that it will cause
third parties to invest Lit. 8,000,000,000 (the "First Required Capital
Investment") in DTI as of the Closing Date, in consideration of the
issuance by DTI, as of the Closing Date, of 397,877 additional shares of
DTI Common Stock (the "First DTI Investment Shares"), which number is the
result of dividing the First Required Capital Investment by the DTI Value
Per Share. Seller covenants and agrees that it will invest or cause third
parties to invest Lit. 7,000,000,000 (the "Second Required Capital
Investment") in DTI by September 30, 1995, in consideration of the issuance
by DTI on September 30, 1995, of 348,142 additional shares of DTI Common
Stock (the "Second DTI Investment Shares"), which number is the result of
dividing the Second Required Capital Investment by the DTI Value Per Share.
If the aggregate amount so invested by September 30, 1995 is less than Lit.
15,000,000,000, then (i) the term "DTI Value Per Share"
30
shall mean, for all purposes of this Agreement, DTI Value Per Share,
increased by five percent (5%) thereof (to Lit. 21,112.07), (ii) the number
of Second DTI Investment Shares shall be determined on the basis of the
actual amount invested in respect of the Second Required Capital
Investment, and (iii) the total number of DTI Exchange Shares, First DTI
Investment Shares and Second DTI Investment Shares shall be recalculated
after giving effect to such five percent (5%) adjustment, with the
resulting reduction in such total number of such Shares being applied
against the number of DTI Exchange Shares, so that Seller alone and not the
investors for the First DTI Investment Shares or the Section DTI Investment
Shares, bears the effect of such five percent (5%) adjustment. The parties
agree that for each Lit. 100,000,000 contributed toward such Second
Required Capital Investment, such five percent (5%) adjustment shall be
reduced by .07143 so that, by way of example, if Lit. 3,500,000,000 is
contributed toward such Second Required Capital Investment, then such
adjustment shall be two and one-half percent (2.5%) and if
Lit. 7,000,000,000 is contributed, no adjustment shall be made. If more
than Lit. 8,000,000,000 is invested as of the Closing Date then the excess
shall be applied on account of the Second Required Capital Investment.
(b) As of the Closing Date, DTI shall grant to the
Seller an option to invest an additional Lit. 5,000,000,000 in shares of
DTI Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to the DTI Value Per Share

the Tax Shares Release Date and any action to be taken seeking
indemnification hereunder must be commenced within such period; provided,
however, with respect to the representations of DTI set forth in Section

any breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Seller herein
or in any Exhibit hereto. DTI hereby indemnifies Seller for any cost,

a claim made by any person, firm, governmental authority or corporation
against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"), such Indemnified
Party must notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Third Party
Claim within a reasonable time after receipt by such Indemnified Party of
written notice of the Third Party Claim unless the indemnifying party shall

Shareholder to deliver to DTI an "investment letter" with respect to the
matters set forth in this Section B.12 contemporaneously with such
distribution. Seller shall cause each Investor under Section 1.6 and the
party to whom the XXX Shares are issued pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(iii)

used in this Section B.12.
54
(b) Seller and its counsel has had the opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the
transactions contemplated hereby and to obtain any additional information
which DTI possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense

DTI hereunder.
(c) Seller and its counsel has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that Seller is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.

Transactional Shares pursuant hereto is intended to be a non-public
offering pursuant to Regulation D and an offering exempt from registration
under Regulation S, each promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and that the DTI Transactional Shares have
not been registered under the Securities Act and no aspect of this offering
has been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") or by the securities regulatory authorities of any state in
the United States of America or any other Country. Neither Seller, nor any

to whom the XXX Shares are issued pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(iii) is or
will be a "U.S. Person" under such Regulation S.

assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise dispose of, distribute or encumber
any DTI Transactional Shares delivered pursuant to this Agreement (except
as described in paragraph (a) of this Section B.12) (x) prior to June 30,
1997, or (y) at any time thereafter, unless, (i) in the opinion of counsel
to DTI or

the opinion of counsel satisfactory to DTI's counsel, registration of such
shares under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, as then in effect, is not required in connection
with such transaction, or (ii) sale of the DTI Transactional Shares is
permissible pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in which event
the Seller shall furnish DTI with an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to DTI to the effect that the sale of the DTI Transactional
Shares proposed to be sold is permissible pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) a
registration statement under the Securities Act is then in effect with
respect to such shares and the purchaser or transferee has been furnished
with a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities
Act.
(f) Anything in paragraph (e) above to the contrary
notwithstanding, Seller will not offer, sell, transfer, assign, mortgage,
pledge or otherwise dispose of, distribute or encumber any DTI
Transactional Shares if any such transaction would render the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be deemed to be
ineligible under Regulation D or Regulation S of the Rules and Regulations
under the Securities Act.
(g) Seller agrees that DTI may endorse on any certificate
for DTI Transactional Shares to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and
any DTI Transactional Shares distributed as described in paragraph (a) of
this Section B.12 an appropriate legend referring to the provisions of

registration shall be reduced pro rata among all of the
Participating Shareholders.
(iii) DTI will furnish to each Participating Shareholder
(A) at least seven (7) days prior to the filing thereof with the
Commission, a copy of the registration statement in the form in
which DTI proposes to file the same with the Commission and, not
later than the effective date thereof, a copy of any and all
amendments to such registration statement, (B) within five (5)
days of the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of any and
all post-effective amendments to such registration statement and
(C) at the request of any such holder and, in the case of a
registration pursuant to subsection (b), a reasonable number of
copies of a preliminary prospectus and a final prospectus (each
of which shall, as of their respective dates, comply with Section
20 of the Securities Act and shall not, as of such dates, include
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
statements therein not misleading) covering the offering and sale
by such Participating Shareholders.
(iv) DTI will advise each of the Participating Shareholders
of the entry of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
such registration statement or
66
of the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose, and, if such
stop order should be entered, use its best efforts promptly to cause
such stop order to be lifted or removed.
(v) If any event shall occur as result of which it is
necessary to amend or supplement the prospectus forming a part of
a registration statement filed hereunder in order to correct an
untrue statement of a material fact, or an omission to state a
material fact necessary to make statement therein, in the light
of the circumstances existing when such prospectus is delivered
to a purchaser, not misleading or if it is necessary to amend or
supplement such prospectus to comply with any law, DTI forthwith
will prepare and furnish to each Participating Shareholder a
reasonable number of amended or supplemented prospectuses so that
statements in the prospectuses as so amended or supplemented will
not, in the light of the circumstances then existing, be
misleading, or so that such prospectuses will comply with law.
(vi) DTI will use its best efforts to qualify, file or
register the Registrable Shares being registered under the
securities laws of such states of the United States of America as
may be reasonably designated by the Participating Shareholders
and to obtain the consent, authorization or approval of any
governmental agency (other than any such consent, authorization
or approval required under any statute or regulation applicable
to any such holders and not applicable to investors generally)
required in connection with the issuance of the Registrable
Shares being registered or in order that such holders may
publicly sell the Registrable Shares covered by such registration
statement.
(vii) With the exception of underwriting commissions and
related distribution expenses set forth in the last sentence of
this subparagraph, all fees, disbursements and expenses incurred
by DTI in connection with the registration pursuant to subsection
(a) or (b) shall be borne by DTI, including, without
67
limitation, all registration and filing fees, all costs of preparation
and printing (in such quantities as the holders of Registrable Shares
may reasonably request) of any registration statement and related
prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, all fees and
disbursements of counsel for DTI, the expenses of complying with
applicable securities or blue sky laws, and all costs in connection
with the preparation and delivery of such legal opinions, auditors'
comfort letters or other closing documents as the Participating
Shareholders shall reasonably request. All underwriting commissions
and expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the Registrable
Shares, including expenses incurred by the underwriter, shall be
allocated among the Participating Shareholders pro rata according to
the number of Registrable Shares being registered by each such holder
or in such other manner as such holders may agree.
(viii) DTI will indemnify and hold harmless each
Participating Shareholder and any underwriter (as defined in the
Securities Act) for such holder and each person or entity, if
any, who controls such holder or underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses, joint or several, or actions in
respect thereof to which such holder or underwriter or
controlling person or entity may become subject under the
Securities Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs, expenses or actions in respect
thereof arise out of, or are based upon, or are related to, any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any registration statement under which Registrable
Shares of or pertaining to such holder were registered under the
Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, amended preliminary
prospectus, or final prospectus, amended preliminary prospectus,
or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, or are
related to, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such
holder or underwriter or controlling person
68
or entity for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided that to the extent that any such
--------
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in said registration statement, said preliminary
prospectus, said amended preliminary prospectus or said final
prospectus or any said amendment or supplement in reliance upon, and
in conformity with, written information furnished to DTI in an
instrument duly executed by such holder or by any underwriter for such
holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof, DTI will not
be so liable to such holder or underwriter.
(ix) Each Participating Shareholder will indemnify and hold
harmless DTI, its officers, directors, agents and employees, and any
underwriter therefor against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
costs or expenses, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof to
which such person may become subject under the Securities Act, or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
costs, expenses or actions in respect thereof arise out of, or are
based upon, or are related to, any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which Registrable Shares of or pertaining to such Participating
Shareholder were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary
prospectus, amended preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus,
amended preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus contained therein,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based
upon, or are related to, the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged
untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
registration statement, preliminary prospectus, amended preliminary
prospectus, or final prospectus, amended preliminary prospectus, or
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information
69
furnished to DTI by such Participating Shareholder in writing
expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of
-------- -------
each such Participating Shareholder shall be limited to an amount
equal to the net proceeds to such holder of Registrable Securities
sold pursuant to such registration statement.
