NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective

the Voting Agreement, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby,
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
Section 1.01 The Merger.
----------
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged (the
"Merger") with and into DHS in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the "Delaware Law"), whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary
shall cease, and DHS shall continue as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving
Corporation").
(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement,
the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place at 10:00 a.m. on a
date to be specified by the parties (the "Closing Date"), which shall be no
later than the fifth business day after satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Article VI, at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx L.L.P. in Dallas, Texas, unless
another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.
(c) Upon the Closing, DHS and Merger Subsidiary will file a
certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and
make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware Law in connection with
the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the articles of
merger are duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at
such later time as is agreed by DHS and MAI and specified in the certificate of
merger (the "Effective Time").
(d) The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 251 of the
Delaware Law.
(e) Each party hereto will, either prior to or after the Effective
Time, execute such further documents, instruments, deeds, bills of sale,
assignments and assurances and take such further actions as may reasonably be
requested by one or more of the other parties to consummate the Merger, to vest
the Surviving Corporation with full title to all assets, properties, privileges,
rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of Merger Subsidiary or DHS, or to
effect the other purposes of this Agreement.
2
EXHIBIT 1
Section 1.02 Conversion of Shares.
--------------------
(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the holder of any common stock of DHS or Merger
Subsidiary:
(i) each share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of DHS
(the "DHS Common Stock") held by DHS as treasury stock or owned by MAI or
any Subsidiary of MAI immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
automatically be canceled and retired without any conversion thereof, and
no MAI Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange
therefor;
(ii) each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Merger
Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
automatically be converted into and become one share of common stock of the
Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Surviving Corporation; and
(iii) each share (each, a "Share" and collectively, the "Shares") of
DHS Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall,
except as otherwise provided in Section 1.02(a)(i), automatically be
converted into the right to receive .375 shares of fully paid and non-
assessable Common Stock, par value $0.002 per share of MAI (the "MAI Common
Stock"); provided, however, that the foregoing conversion ratio shall be
-------- -------
(A) appropriately adjusted in the event that there shall occur any stock
dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other
such event relating to the MAI Common Stock or the DHS Common Stock between
the date hereof and the Effective Time, (B) proportionately increased or
decreased (as the case may be) in the event and to the extent that the
number of outstanding shares of MAI Common Stock shall, at the Effective
Time, be greater than or less than the number of outstanding shares of MAI
Common Stock on the date hereof, other than increases resulting from the
exercise of options or warrants that are outstanding on the date hereof or
hereafter issued in accordance with Section 5.01(f) and any issuance of MAI
Common Stock pursuant to the outstanding Asset Purchase Agreement between
MAI and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, such that the DHS stockholders receive in the
Merger the same percentage of the total outstanding MAI Common Stock
(immediately after giving effect to the Merger) as they would have received
had the Merger been consummated on the date of this Agreement, and (C)
increased or decreased (as the case may be) in the event and to the extent
that the number of outstanding shares of DHS Common Stock shall, at the
Effective Time, be less than or greater than the number of outstanding
shares of DHS Common Stock on the date hereof, other than increases
resulting from exercises of options or warrants outstanding on the date
hereof or hereafter issued in accordance with Section 5.02(f) and from the
conversion of any DHS Preferred Stock (including additional shares of DHS
Preferred Stock which may hereafter accrue as in-kind dividends), such that
the DHS stockholders receive in the Merger the same percentage of the total
outstanding MAI Common Stock (immediately after giving effect to the
Merger) as they would have received had the Merger been consummated on the
date of this Agreement.
3
EXHIBIT 1
(b) From and after the Effective Time, all Shares converted in
accordance with Section 1.02(a)(iii) shall no longer be outstanding and shall
automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder
of a certificate representing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights
with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common
stock of Merger Subsidiary shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they
were converted in accordance with Section 1.02(a)(ii).
(c) The MAI Common Stock to be received as consideration pursuant to
the Merger by each holder of Shares (together with any cash which may be paid in
lieu of fractional shares of MAI Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.07)
is referred to herein as the "Merger Consideration."
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the word "Subsidiary" when used
with respect to any Person means any other Person, whether incorporated or
unincorporated, of which at least a majority of the securities or other
interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect at least a
majority of the board of directors or others performing similar functions with
respect to such corporation or other organization is directly or indirectly
owned or controlled by such Person or by any one or more of its Subsidiaries.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Person" means an individual, a corporation, a
limited liability company, a partnership, an association, a trust or any other
entity or organization, including a Governmental Authority.
Section 1.03 Surrender and Payment.
---------------------
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, MAI shall appoint its stock transfer
agent as agent (the "Exchange Agent") for the purpose of exchanging certificates
representing Shares for the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective
Time (but in any event within five (5) business days thereafter), MAI will send,
or will cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of Shares at the
Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal for use in such exchange (which shall
specify that delivery of the Merger Consideration shall be effected, and risk of
loss and title to the certificates representing DHS Common Stock shall pass,
only upon proper delivery of the certificates representing Shares to the
Exchange Agent), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
certificates representing Shares in exchange for the certificates representing
MAI Common Stock constituting Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to a
holder of certificates theretofore representing Shares for any amount which may
be required to be paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned
property, escheat or similar law.
(b) Each holder of Shares that have been converted into a right to
receive the Merger Consideration, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a
certificate or certificates representing such Shares, together with a properly
completed letter of transmittal covering such Shares, will be entitled to
receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Shares and any
dividends payable pursuant to Section 1.03(f). Until so surrendered, each such
certificate
4
EXHIBIT 1
shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to
receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends payable pursuant to Section
1.03(f).
(c) If any certificate representing Merger Consideration is to be
delivered to a Person other than the registered holder of the Shares represented
by the certificate or certificates surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be
a condition to the issuance of such certificate evidencing MAI Common Stock that
the certificate or certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or
otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such
payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by
reason of the issuance of shares of MAI Common Stock to a Person other than the
registered holder of such Shares represented by the certificate or certificates
so surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such
tax has been paid or is not applicable.
(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration
of transfers of Shares on the stock transfer book of DHS. If, after the
Effective Time, certificates representing Shares are presented to the Surviving
Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the consideration provided
for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article I.
(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed by
the holders of Shares one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be returned to
MAI, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged his Shares for the
Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.03 prior to that time
shall thereafter look only to MAI for payment of the Merger Consideration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, MAI shall not be liable to any holder of Shares
for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned
property laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares seven (7)
years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such
time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any
Governmental Authority) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become
the property of MAI free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person
previously entitled thereto.
(f) No dividends or other distributions with respect to MAI Common
Stock issued in the Merger shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered
certificates representing Shares until such certificates are surrendered as
provided in this Section 1.03. Subject to the effect of applicable laws,
following the surrender of such certificates, there shall be paid, without
interest, to the record holder of the MAI Common Stock issued in exchange
therefor at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time payable prior to or on
the date of such surrender with respect to such whole shares of MAI Common Stock
and not previously paid, less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be
required thereon.
(g) In the event that any certificate representing Shares shall have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit (containing a
standard form of indemnity) of the fact by the person claiming such certificate
to be lost, stolen or destroyed, MAI will, after the Effective Time, issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the certificate
5
EXHIBIT 1
evidencing shares of MAI Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, as
determined in accordance with this Article I. When authorizing such issue of the
certificate of shares of MAI Common Stock in exchange therefor, MAI may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require (unless
such requirement is waived by Xxxx Xxxx or Xxxx Xxxxxx) the owner of such lost,
stolen or destroyed certificate (unless such owner is an institutional investor)
to give XXX x xxxx in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim
that may be made against MAI with respect to the certificate alleged to have
been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(h) Approval and adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of DHS
shall constitute, as an integral part of the Merger, ratification of the
appointment of, and the reappointment of, said Exchange Agent.
Section 1.04 Stock Option Plans.
------------------
(a) At the Effective Time, the terms of each outstanding option
granted by DHS to purchase shares of DHS Common Stock (a "DHS Stock Option")
under the 1992 Stock Option Plan of DHS, the 1995 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
of DHS, the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan of DHS, and the 1997 Nonqualified
Stock Option Plan of DHS (collectively, the "DHS Option Plans"), whether vested
or unvested, shall be adjusted as necessary to provide that at the Effective
Time, each DHS Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be fully vested pursuant to the terms of the DHS Option Plans and shall be
deemed to constitute and shall become an option to acquire, on the same terms
and conditions as were applicable under such DHS Stock Option, the same number
of shares of MAI Common Stock as the holder of such DHS Stock Option would have
been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger (including, if applicable, after
giving effect to the adjustments contemplated by the proviso to Section
-------
1.02(a)(iii)) had such holder exercised such DHS Stock Option in full
immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share of MAI Common
Stock (subject to any express price adjustments contained in the subject DHS
Stock Option) equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of DHS
Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such DHS Stock Option, divided by
(ii) the aggregate number of shares of MAI Common Stock deemed purchasable
pursuant to such DHS Stock Option (each, as so adjusted, an "Adjusted Option");
provided that, after aggregating all the shares of a holder subject to DHS Stock
--------
Options, any fractional share of MAI Common Stock resulting from such
calculation for such holder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and
provided, further, that in the case of any option to which Section 421 of the
Code applies by reason of its qualification under any of Sections 422 through
424 of the Code ("qualified stock options"), the option price, the number of
shares purchasable pursuant to such option, and the terms and conditions of
exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424
of the Code.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, MAI shall deliver
to the holders of DHS Stock Options appropriate notices setting forth such
holders' rights pursuant to the DHS Option Plan and the agreements evidencing
the grants of such DHS Stock Options and that such DHS Stock Options and
agreements shall be assumed by MAI and shall continue in
6
EXHIBIT 1
effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by
this Section 1.04 after giving effect to the Merger).
(c) MAI shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary for the
assumption of the DHS Option Plans pursuant to this Section 1.04, including the
reservation, issuance and listing of MAI Common Stock as is necessary to
effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.04. MAI shall prepare
and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 or other appropriate
form with respect to shares of MAI Common Stock subject to DHS Stock Options
issued under the DHS Option Plans (as well as shares of MAI Common Stock which
become subject to the DHS Warrants as provided in Section 1.05) and shall use
its reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as
soon as practicable following the Effective Time and to maintain the
effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements covering
such DHS Stock Options (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or
prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such DHS Stock Options remain
outstanding.
Section 1.05 DHS Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
------------
Merger and without requirement of any action on the part of the holder(s)
thereof (but subject to any required consent of such holder(s) with respect to
the adjustments hereunder), the outstanding common stock purchase warrants of
DHS (the "DHS Warrants") immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
automatically be converted into and shall become warrants of MAI to acquire, on
the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such DHS Warrant, the
same number of shares of MAI Common Stock as the holder of such DHS Warrant
would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger (including, if
applicable, after giving effect to the adjustments contemplated by the proviso
-------
to Section 1.02(a)(iii)) had such holder exercised such DHS Warrant in full
immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share of MAI Common
Stock equal to (a) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of DHS Common
Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such MAI Warrant, divided by (b) the
aggregate number of shares of MAI Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to
such DHS Warrant (each, as so adjusted, an "Adjusted Warrant"); provided that,
-------- ----
after aggregating all of the shares of a holder subject to DHS Warrants, any
fractional share of MAI Common Stock resulting from such calculation for such
holder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

in accordance with the certificate of designations applicable thereto, such DHS
Preferred Stock shall be convertible into MAI Common Stock, with reference to

hereunder to (a) if permitted or not prohibited by the senior and

EXHIBIT 1
subordinated lenders to MAI or DHS, a cash payment calculated as hereinafter
provided, or (b) if such cash payment is not permitted or is prohibited by MAI's
or DHS' lenders, an additional fractional share in an amount sufficient to round
such stockholder's aggregate holdings of MAI Common Stock to the next nearest
whole share. The amount of any such cash payment shall equal, in the case of
each fractional share, an amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without
interest, calculated as the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the
arithmetic mean of the closing sales prices for the MAI Common Stock reported on
the NASDAQ National Market System for each of the five (5) consecutive trading
days on which MAI Common Stock was traded immediately preceding the Effective
Time as quoted in the Wall Street Journal, or other reliable financial newspaper
or publication. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, a "trading day"
means a day on which trading generally takes place on the NASDAQ National Market
System. No such fractional share interest shall entitle the owner thereof to
vote or to any rights of a stockholder of MAI.

Taxes (to the extent in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate) are payable by the
DHS Group with respect to items or periods covered by such Tax Returns or with

law, with respect to any items that relate to DHS or its Subsidiaries in order
to avoid a penalty for any taxable year. All DHS Tax Returns are true, correct

threatened actions or proceedings for the assessment or collection of Taxes for
which DHS or its Subsidiaries may be liable (to the extent in excess of $50,000

Subsidiaries, except with respect to Taxes which are not yet due and payable.

---------------
(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or
the termination of this Agreement, DHS agrees that: (i) it will not, and will
use its best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries and the officers, directors,
employees, investment bankers, consultants and other agents of DHS and its
Subsidiaries and the Affiliates of DHS not to, directly or indirectly, initiate,
solicit, encourage or facilitate or take any action to initiate, solicit,
encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making or implementation of any
proposal or offer (including, without limitation, any proposal or offer to its
stockholders) with respect to a merger, consolidation or other business

Proposal (excluding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or
otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Alternative
Proposal; (ii) it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated and will
cause its Subsidiaries and the officers, directors, employees, investment
bankers, consultants and other agents of DHS and its Subsidiaries and the
Affiliates of DHS to immediately cease and terminate, any existing activities,
discussions or negotiations with any parties with respect to any of the
foregoing, and it will take the necessary steps to inform such
42
EXHIBIT 1
parties of its obligations under this Section 5.03(a); and (iii) it will notify
MAI immediately (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt of any
Alternative Proposal) if any such inquiries, proposals or offers are received
by, any such information is requested from, or any such negotiations or
discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of such
Persons; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall
-------- -------
prohibit the Board of Directors of DHS from (x) furnishing information to (but
only pursuant to a confidentiality agreement in customary form and having terms
and conditions substantially comparable to the Confidentiality Agreement) or
entering into discussions or negotiations with any Person or group that makes an
unsolicited bona fide Alternative Proposal, if, and only to the extent that,
---- ----
(i) the Board of Directors of DHS, based upon the written opinion of outside
counsel, determines in good faith that such action is required for the Board of
Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties to stockholders imposed by
applicable law, (ii) prior to furnishing such information to, or entering into
discussions or negotiations with, such Person or group, DHS provides written
notice to MAI to the effect that it is furnishing information to, or entering
into discussions or negotiations with such Person or group (without being
required to identify such Person or group), and (iii) DHS keeps MAI informed
(which notice shall be provided orally and in writing) of the status of such
discussions or negotiations (provided that DHS will not be required to inform

aggregate consideration being offered to DHS and/or its stockholders), and (y)
to the extent required, complying with Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the 1934 Act
with regard to an Alternative Proposal. Except for MAI's termination rights
pursuant to Section 9.01, MAI will not utilize any of the information provided
to it by DHS pursuant to this Section 5.03(a) in any manner which could
reasonably be expected to undermine DHS' discussions or negotiations with any
Person or group identified to MAI by DHS hereunder.
(b) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or
the termination of this Agreement, MAI agrees that: (i) it will not, and will
use its best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries and the officers, directors,
employees, investment bankers, consultants and other agents of MAI and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of MAI not to, directly or indirectly, initiate,
solicit, encourage or facilitate or take any action to initiate, solicit,
encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making or implementation of any
proposal or offer with respect to any transaction such as would constitute an
Alternative Proposal with respect to MAI or would cause ownership or voting
control of MAI to be vested in any Person or group, or with respect to a
material acquisition in any line of business not substantially related to the
existing line of business of MAI and its Subsidiaries (a "MAI Proposal"); (ii)
it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated and will cause its
Subsidiaries and the officers, directors, employees, investment bankers,
consultants and other agents of MAI and its Subsidiaries and the Affiliates of
MAI to immediately cease and terminate, any existing activities, discussions or
negotiations with any parties with respect to any of the foregoing, and it will
take the necessary steps to inform such parties of its obligations under this
Section 5.03(b); and (iii) it will notify DHS immediately (and in no event later
than 24 hours after receipt of any proposal with respect to any such
transaction) if any inquiries, proposals, or offers are received by, or any
information is requested in respect of, any transaction of the type described in
this Section 5.03(b). MAI shall be permitted to conduct unsolicited
negotiations and discussions with respect to any such transaction, and shall be
required to report thereon to DHS, in the same manner and to the same
43
EXHIBIT 1
extent as is applicable under Section 5.03(a) with respect to any Alternative
Proposal as described therein. Except for DHS' termination rights pursuant to
Section 9.01, DHS will not utilize any information provided to it by MAI
pursuant to this Section 5.03(b) in any manner which could reasonably be
expected to undermine MAI's discussions or negotiations with any Person or group
identified to DHS by MAI hereunder.
Section 5.04 Approval of Stockholders.
------------------------
(a) DHS shall, through its Board of Directors, duly call, give notice
of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the "DHS Stockholders'
Meeting") for the purpose of voting on the approval and adoption of this
Agreement and the Merger (the "DHS Stockholders' Approval") as soon as
reasonably practicable after the date hereof. Except as provided in the next
sentence, the Board of Directors of DHS shall recommend approval and adoption of
this Agreement and the Merger by the holders of DHS Common Stock and shall use
all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval and adoption. The
Board of Directors of DHS shall be permitted to (i) not recommend to the holders
of DHS Common Stock that they give the DHS Stockholders' Approval, or (ii)
withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to DHS its recommendation to the holders
of DHS Common Stock that they give the DHS Stockholders' Approval, but in each
of cases (i) and (ii) only if and to the extent that a Superior Proposal is
pending at the time the DHS Board of Directors determines to take any such
action or inaction; provided, however, that no such failure to recommend,
-------- -------
withdrawal or modification shall be made unless DHS shall have delivered to MAI
a written notice (a "Notice of Superior Proposal") advising MAI that the Board
of Directors of DHS has received a Superior Proposal and identifying the Person
or group making such Superior Proposal; and further provided, that nothing
--- ------- --------
contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors of DHS from
complying with Rule 14e-2 under the 1934 Act with regard to an Alternative
Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, "Superior Proposal" means any bona
----
fide Alternative Proposal for at least a majority of the outstanding Shares on
----
terms that the Board of Directors of DHS determines in its good faith judgment
(based on the advice of an independent reputable financial advisor, taking into
account all the terms and conditions of the Alternative Proposal, including any
break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation)
are more favorable and provide greater value to all holders of DHS Common Stock
than this Agreement and the Merger taken as a whole.
(b) MAI shall, through its Board of Directors, duly call, give notice
of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the "MAI Shareholders'
Meeting" and, together with the DHS Stockholders' Meeting, the "Shareholders'
Meetings") for the purpose of voting on the issuance of MAI Common Stock in the
Merger (the "MAI Shareholders' Approval"), as soon as reasonably practicable
after the date hereof. The Board of Directors of MAI shall recommend that the
shareholders of MAI approve such issuances of MAI Common Stock, and shall use
its best efforts to obtain such approval.
(c) DHS and MAI shall coordinate and cooperate with respect to the
timing of the Shareholders' Meetings and shall use their best efforts to cause
the Shareholders' Meetings to be held on the same day and as soon as practicable
after the date hereof.

prepare and file with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after such date,
a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the MAI Common Stock
issuable in the Merger, and in which the Proxy Statement will be included within
the prospectus. MAI and DHS shall use all reasonable efforts to have the Form
S-4 declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing.
Prior to the Effective Date, MAI shall also take any action (other than
qualifying as a foreign corporation or taking any action which would subject it
to service of process in any jurisdiction where MAI is not now so qualified or
subject) required to be taken under applicable state blue sky or securities laws
in connection with the issuance of MAI Common Stock in connection with the
Merger and will pay all expenses incident thereto. If at any time prior to the
Effective Time any event shall occur that should be set forth in an amendment of
or a supplement to the Form S-4, MAI shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendment or supplement as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. MAI,
Merger Subsidiary and DHS shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of
the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto,
and each shall notify the other of the receipt of any comments of the SEC with
respect to the Form S-4 and any amendment or supplement thereto or for
additional information, and shall provide to the other promptly copies of all
correspondence between MAI or DHS, as the case may be, and the SEC with respect
to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement. MAI shall give DHS and its counsel the
opportunity to review and comment on the Form S-4 and all responses to requests
for additional information by and replies to comments of the SEC before their
being filed with, or sent to, the SEC. Each of MAI, Merger Subsidiary and DHS
agrees to use its best efforts, after consultation with the other parties
hereto, to respond promptly to all such comments of and requests by the SEC and
to cause (i) the Form S-4 to be declared effective by the SEC at the earliest
practicable time and to be kept effective as long as is necessary to consummate
the Merger, and (ii) the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the holders of DHS
Common Stock and MAI Common Stock entitled to vote at the meetings of the
stockholders of DHS and MAI at the earliest practicable time.
(b) MAI agrees that the Form S-4, when declared effective by the SEC,
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent
-------- -------
that any such untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a
material fact was made by MAI in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information concerning DHS or any of its Affiliates furnished to MAI by DHS or
any of its Affiliates. DHS agrees that the information provided by it for
inclusion in the Proxy Statement, when the Proxy Statement is mailed to
stockholders, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
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. No amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 will be made by MAI
until it has consulted with DHS and its counsel. MAI will advise DHS, promptly
after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Form S-4 has become
effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any
stop order, or
45
EXHIBIT 1
the suspension of the qualification of MAI Common Stock issuable in connection
with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or any request by the
SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 or comments thereon and
responses thereto or requests for additional information.
