(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the

(b) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement
of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.
(c) Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an

(whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a)
certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has
represented, expressly or otherwise that such other party would not, in the
event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges
that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this
agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this

terminate if the Closing shall not have been consummated by October 31, 1998.
SECTION 10.15. Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto acknowledge
---------------------
and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions

breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the
terms and provisions hereof without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of
money damages as a remedy.
SECTION 10.16. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement
-------------
for any reason be declared invalid or unenforceable, such decision shall not
affect the
46
validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement,
which remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and the
application of such invalid or unenforceable provision to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable
shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
SECTION 10.17. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and
----------------
hold harmless TDF and DFI (BV) against any and all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject
under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act or other Federal or state statutory
law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise in connection with
a registration statement filed, or a preliminary or final prospectus delivered,
in connection with the IPO under Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section
20(a) of the Exchange Act and TDF or DFI (BV) being deemed a "controlling
