the Securities, which has become effective. The registration statement as
amended at the time when it became effective, or, if post-effective amendments

the time of their effectiveness, is hereinafter referred to as the
"Registration Statement"; the prospectus in the form in which it appears in the
Registration Statement is hereinafter referred to as the "Basic Prospectus";
the supplement thereto prepared by the Company relating to the Securities and

first used to confirm sales of Securities is hereinafter referred to as the

agrees to sell the Underwritten Securities to the several Underwriters as
hereinafter provided, and each
3

Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein
contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees to
purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Selling Stockholder the
respective number of shares of Common Stock constituting Underwritten
Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in Schedule I hereto (or
such number of Underwritten Securities increased as set forth in Section 13
hereof, subject to such adjustments to eliminate any fractional interests as
the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make) at the price per share
of Common Stock set forth on Schedule I hereto (the "Purchase Price").
In addition, if a Total Number of Option Securities is set forth on
Schedule I hereto, the Selling Stockholder agrees to sell the Option Securities
to the several Underwriters as hereinafter provided, and the Underwriters,
upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but
subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, shall have the option to
purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Selling Stockholder up to such
number of shares of Common Stock at the Purchase Price, for the sole purpose of
covering over-allotments (if any) in connection with the sale of the
Underwritten Securities by the several Underwriters.
If any Option Securities are to be purchased, the number of Option
Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the number of Option
Securities which bears the same ratio to the aggregate number of Option
Securities being purchased as the number of Underwritten Securities set forth
opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto bears to the
aggregate number of Underwritten Securities, subject, however, to such
adjustments to eliminate any fractional interests as the Representatives in
their sole discretion shall make.
The Underwriters may exercise the option to purchase the Option
Securities at any time (but not more than once) on or before the last day of
the period indicated on Schedule I hereto as the period for exercise of such
option, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company and the
Selling Stockholder. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of
Option Securities as to which the option is being exercised and the date and
time when such Option Securities are to be delivered and paid for, which may be
the same date and time as the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) but shall
not be earlier than the Closing Date or later than the tenth full Business Day
(as hereinafter defined) after the date of such notice (unless such date and
time are postponed in accordance with the

2. Terms of Public Offering. Each of the Company, Westinghouse

Company may agree upon in writing, or (ii) in the case of the Option
Securities, on the date and time specified by the Representatives in the
written notice of the Underwriters' election to purchase such Option
Securities. The time and date of such payment for the Underwritten Securities
are referred to herein as the "Closing Date," and the time and date of such
payment for the Option Securities, if other than the Closing Date, are herein
referred to as the "Additional Closing Date." As used herein, the term

request, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be

promulgated thereunder;

the documents incorporated by reference therein), at the time it became
effective, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus
(including the documents incorporated by reference therein), as of the
date of the Prospectus Supplement and as of the Closing Date, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state 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 (but such counsel need not comment with respect to the
financial statements, schedules and other financial and statistical data
included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus).

(iii) the execution and delivery by each of Westinghouse and,
if Transferee is a party hereto, Transferee of, and the
performance by it of its obligations under, this Agreement, and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated herein, do
not and will not (a) result in any violation of any provision of
its articles of incorporation or by-laws; (b) conflict with, or
result in a breach or violation of, any terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of
time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or give rise to
any right to accelerate the maturity or require the prepayment of
any indebtedness under, or result in the creation or imposition of
any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its properties or
assets pursuant to the terms of, any material agreement known to
such counsel to which it is a party or by which any of its
properties or assets may be subject; (c) contravene any Applicable

Underwritten Securities being purchased by it free of any adverse claim
within the meaning of Section 8-302 of the UCC, assuming that such
Underwriter is acting in good faith and has no notice of any adverse
claim. Such counsel may state that, although each Underwriter will
acquire beneficial ownership of the Underwritten Securities being
purchased by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence, such
Underwriter will not acquire record title to such Underwritten Securities

the Company in the name of such Underwriter (or a nominee thereof).

within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and other
expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any
claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or
supplements thereto to the Underwriters) or any preliminary prospectus, or
caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are
caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to
any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through
the Representatives expressly for use therein; provided that the foregoing
indemnity with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the
benefit of any Underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling such
Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities purchased Securities if such untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in such preliminary prospectus is
eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto to the
Underwriters) and, if required by law to be furnished, a copy of the Prospectus
(as
32
-32-
so amended or supplemented) shall not have been furnished to such person at or
prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person.
Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the
Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and
Westinghouse to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and
Westinghouse to each Underwriter, but only with reference to information
relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such
Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
preliminary prospectus. For purposes of this Section 10, the only written
information furnished by the Underwriters to the Company expressly for use in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus is the information referred to on
Schedule I hereto under the heading "Information Provided by the Underwriters."
If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against
any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of
the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the "Indemnified Person") shall
promptly notify in writing the person or persons against whom such indemnity
may be sought (each an "Indemnifying Person"), and such Indemnifying Person,
upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and
any others the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall
pay the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by such counsel related to such
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the
right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) such Indemnifying
Person and such Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary,
(ii) such Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person or (iii) the named
parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
an Indemnifying Person and an Indemnified Person and representation of each
such party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. It is understood that an
Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
33
-33-
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (a) the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for
all Underwriters, their officers and directors and all persons, if any, who
control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (b) the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for
the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either
such Section and (c) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate
firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Selling Stockholder, and that
all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such
separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons of the Underwriters
shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter or Representative, as the
case may be, executing this Agreement on behalf of the Underwriters; any such
separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the
Registration Statement and such control persons of the Company (other than
Westinghouse and, if Transferee is a party hereto, Transferee) shall be
designated in writing by the Company; and any such separate firm for
Westinghouse shall be designated in writing by Westinghouse. No Indemnifying
Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, such Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each
Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse
the Indemnified Person for reasonable fees and expenses incurred by counsel as
contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, such Indemnifying Person
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30
days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request and
(ii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person
in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement; provided,
however, that such Indemnified Person shall not have the right to enter into
such settlement if there is a good faith dispute between such Indemnified
Person and such Indemnifying Person regarding such Indemnifying Person's
obligation to reimburse such Indemnified Person for such fees and expenses of
counsel. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending
34
-34-
or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such proceeding.
If the indemnification provided for in the first, second and third
paragraphs of this Section 10 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then
each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and Westinghouse in the aggregate on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities
or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault
of the Company and Westinghouse in the aggregate on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Company and Westinghouse in the aggregate on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as
the net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the
Selling Stockholder and the total underwriting discounts received by the
Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to
the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of
the Company and Westinghouse in the aggregate on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company, Westinghouse or Transferee or by the
Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
Each of the Company, Westinghouse and the Underwriters agrees that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10
were determined by pro rata
35
-35-
allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of
the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, in no event shall an
Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and
distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any
damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters'
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion
to the respective number of shares of Common Stock constituting Underwritten
Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto, and not joint.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section 10 are in addition to any liability which any Indemnifying Person may
otherwise have to any other Indemnifying Person or any Indemnified Person,
including pursuant to the Stock Unit Purchase Agreement between the Company and
Westinghouse, dated as of October 30, 1986, as amended by that certain letter
agreement dated May 2, 1995 between the Company and Westinghouse (which
agreement, as so amended, shall not be deemed or considered amended or
superseded by this Section 10). The Company and Westinghouse agree that any
indemnity or contribution payments made by Westinghouse to any Indemnified
Person pursuant to this Section 10 will be treated by the Company and
Westinghouse as liabilities of Westinghouse that are subject to the Company's
indemnification contained in Section 7.04 of such Stock Unit Purchase Agreement
(subject to the limitation contained in the proviso to the first paragraph of
clause (d) thereof), and any indemnity or contribution payments made by the
Company to any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 10 will be treated
by Westinghouse and the Company as liabilities of the Company that are subject
to Westinghouse's indemnification contained in Section 7.04 of such Stock Xxxx
00
-00-
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (subject to the limitation contained therein with respect
to written information furnished to the Company by Westinghouse and, if
Transferee is a party hereto, Transferee).
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section 10 and the representations and warranties of the Company, Westinghouse
and, if Transferee is a party hereto, Transferee as set forth in this
Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
(i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on
behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or
on behalf of the Company, Westinghouse or Transferee or the officers or
directors or any other person controlling the Company, Westinghouse or
Transferee and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.
11. Termination of This Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
herein contained, this Agreement (or the obligations of the several
Underwriters with respect to the Option Securities) may be terminated in the
absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company and
Westinghouse, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior
to the Closing Date (or, in the case of the Option Securities, prior to the
Additional Closing Date) (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or
materially limited on or by, as the case may be, either the New York Stock
Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the
Company shall have been suspended or materially limited on any exchange or in
any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking
activities in New York shall have been declared by Federal or New York State
authorities, or (iv) there shall have occurred an outbreak of hostilities or
an escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any
calamity or crisis that, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives,
is material and adverse and which, in the reasonable judgment of the
Representatives, makes it impracticable to market the Securities on the terms
and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
12. Reimbursement upon Occurrence of Certain Events. If this
Agreement shall be terminated by the Representatives because of any failure or
refusal on the part of the Company, Westinghouse or Transferee (if it is a
party hereto) to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of
this Agreement, or if for any reason any of the Company, Westinghouse or
Transferee (if it is a party hereto) shall be unable to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or any
37
-37-
condition of the Underwriters' obligations cannot be fulfilled, Westinghouse
agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including
the fees and expenses of their counsel) incurred by the Underwriters in
connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
13. Effectiveness of This Agreement; Additional Obligations of
the Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the later of (x)
the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto and (y) release of
notification by the Commission of the effectiveness of the most recent
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement filed prior to the
Closing Date.
If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the
case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to
purchase the Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on
such date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not
more than one-tenth of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date,
the other Underwriters, if any, shall be obligated severally in the proportions
that the number of Underwritten Securities set forth opposite their respective
names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate number of Underwritten
Securities set forth opposite the names of all such nondefaulting Underwriters,
or in such other proportions as the Representatives may specify, to purchase
the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the
number of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to
Section 1 be increased pursuant to this Section 13 by an amount in excess of
one-ninth of the number of shares of Common Stock constituting Securities which
such Underwriter is obligated to purchase hereunder without the written consent
of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date,
as the case may be, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to
purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such
date, and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default
occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Securities to be
purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives
and the Selling Stockholder for the purchase of such Securities are not made
within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement (or the obligations of the
several Underwriters to purchase the Option Securities, as the case may be)
shall terminate without
38
-38-
liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or
the Selling Stockholder. In any such case the Representatives, the Company or
the Selling Stockholder shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date (or,
in the case of the Option Securities, the Additional Closing Date), but in no
event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any,
in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents
or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall
not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default
of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
14. Notice. Any action by the Underwriters or the Representatives
hereunder may be taken by the Representatives jointly or by the Underwriter or
Representative, as the case may be, executing this Agreement acting alone on
behalf of the Underwriters or the Representatives, as the case may be, and any
such action taken by the Representatives jointly or by such Underwriter or
Representative alone shall be binding upon the Underwriters and the
Representatives. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by
any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be
given to the Representatives at the address set forth on Schedule I hereto.
Notices to the Company shall be given to it at 00000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000, Attention: President (facsimile (301)
210-3334). Notices to Westinghouse or the Selling Stockholder shall be given

Attention: Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Esq., General Counsel (facsimile (412)
642-5224).
15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the Underwriters, the Company, Westinghouse and, if
Transferee is a party hereto, Transferee and any controlling person referred
to herein and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives.
Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be
construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters,
the Company, Westinghouse and, if Transferee is a party hereto, Transferee and
their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives and the controlling
persons and officers and directors referred to in Section 10 and their heirs
and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. No
purchaser of
39
-39-
Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason
merely of such purchase.
16. Counterparts; Applicable Law. This Agreement may be signed in
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without
giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
40
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please
sign and return six counterparts hereof.
