Each of Datatec, Xxxxx and Xxxx, jointly and severally,
represent and warrant to the Buyer as follows:
Section 3.1 CORPORATE ORGANIZATION; REQUISITE AUTHORITY TO
CONDUCT BUSINESS; ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. Datatec and each
Subsidiary (as defined in Section 3.3 hereof) is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under its respective jurisdictions of
incorporation. Datatec and each Subsidiary has provided the Buyer with true and
complete copies of its articles of incorporation (certified by the appropriate
official of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation) and By-laws (certified

hereof. Prior to the Closing, the minute books of Datatec and each Subsidiary
will be delivered to the Buyer, and will contain true and complete records of
all meetings and consents in lieu of meeting of the Board of Directors and
stockholders of Datatec and each Subsidiary since the date of such corporation's
inception, which accurately reflect in all material respects all transactions
referred to in such minutes and consents in lieu of meeting, except where such
failure would not cause a Datatec Material Adverse Effect (as defined below).
Datatec and each Subsidiary has all corporate power and authority to own,
operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as the same is now
being conducted, and is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation in every jurisdiction in which the conduct of
its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires it to be so
qualified or licensed, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the
-2-
business, properties, prospects, assets, liabilities, financial condition or
operations of Datatec and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a "Datatec
Material Adverse Effect").
Section 3.2 CAPITALIZATION AND SHAREHOLDINGS. The authorized
capital stock of Datatec consists of 10,000,000 shares of Datatec Common Stock,
6,850,000 of which are issued and outstanding on the date hereof. The capital
stock of Datatec is duly authorized and all issued capital stock has been duly
and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable and free of preemptive
rights. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.2, Datatec does not have outstanding,
and is not bound by or subject to, any subscription, option, warrant, call,
right, contract, commitment, agreement, understanding or arrangement to issue
any additional shares of capital stock of Datatec, including any right of
conversion or exchange under any outstanding security or other instrument, and
no shares are reserved for issuance for any purpose. In addition, the options
set forth in Schedule 3.2 shall be terminated by Datatec on or prior to the
Closing Date or upon the issuance of the Replacement Options (as defined below)
pursuant to Section 6.3.
Section 3.3 SUBSIDIARIES, ETC. Datatec does not own (directly
or indirectly) any equity interest in any corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, joint venture, affiliate, association or other entity, other
than Datatec Industries Canada, Ltd., an Ontario corporation, Datatec Industries

collectively the "Subsidiaries"). With respect to each Subsidiary Datatec will
own at or prior to closing 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock and
except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.3, there are no subscriptions, options,
warrants, calls, rights, contracts, commitments, agreements, understandings or
arrangements to issue any additional shares of capital stock, including any
right of conversion or exchange under any outstanding security or other
instrument, and no shares are reserved for issuance for any purpose. Datatec

Section 3.4 AUTHORITY RELATIVE TO AND VALIDITY OF THIS
AGREEMENT. Datatec has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver
this Agreement and to assume and perform all of its obligations hereunder. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Datatec and the performance by
Datatec of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by its Board of
Directors and no further authorization on the part of Datatec is necessary to
authorize the execution and delivery by it of, and the performance of its
obligations under, this Agreement. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.4, there
are no corporate, contractual, statutory or other restrictions of any kind upon
the
-3-
power and authority of Datatec to execute and deliver the Agreements and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and no action,
waiver or consent by any federal (United States or otherwise), state, municipal
or other governmental department, commission or agency ("Governmental
Authority") is necessary to make the Agreements valid instruments binding upon
Datatec in accordance with their respective terms. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Datatec and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Datatec, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as
such enforceability may be limited by or subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally, (ii) as such obligations are subject to general principles of equity,
and (iii) as rights to indemnity may be limited by federal or state securities
laws or by public policy.
Section 3.5 REQUIRED FILINGS AND CONSENTS; NO CONFLICT. Except
as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.5, neither Datatec nor any Subsidiary is required to
submit any notice, report or other filing with any Governmental Authority in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the
Agreements. Except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 3.5 hereto, the execution, delivery
and performance of the Agreements by Datatec and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (a) conflict
with or violate any law, regulation, judgment, order or decree binding upon
Datatec or any Subsidiary, (b) conflict with or violate any provision of the
certificate of incorporation or Bylaws of Datatec or any Subsidiary, or (c)
conflict with or result in a breach of any condition or provision of, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any properties or assets of Datatec or any
Subsidiary pursuant to, or cause or permit the acceleration prior to maturity of
any amounts owing under, any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, deed of trust,
lease, contract, license, franchise or other agreement or instrument to which
Datatec or any Subsidiary is a party or which is or purports to be binding upon
Datatec or the Subsidiaries or by which any of their properties are bound,
except for conflicts, breaches, defaults, events of default or impositions that
would not have a Datatec Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Agreements by Datatec and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in the loss of any
license, franchise, legal privilege or permit possessed by Datatec or the
Subsidiaries or give a right of termination to any party to any agreement or
other instrument to which Datatec or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by
which any of its properties are bound, except for losses or rights of
termination that would not have a Datatec Material Adverse Effect.

description of each such property, which if leased shall include the termination
date and the conditions of renewal of such lease.

by Datatec and each Subsidiary;
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not constitute
a material breach of any instrument or agreement governing any Datatec Rights,
will not cause the forfeiture or termination or give rise to a right of
forfeiture or termination of any Datatec Rights or impair the right of Datatec
to use, sell or license any Datatec Rights or any portion thereof;
(c) Neither the manufacture, marketing, license, sale or
intended use of any product currently licensed or sold by Datatec or any
Subsidiary or currently under development by Datatec or any Subsidiary violates
any license or agreement
-8-
between Datatec or any Subsidiary, on one hand, and any third party, on the
other hand, relating to such product or infringes any intellectual property
right of any other party, and there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of
Datatec, threatened claim or litigation contesting the validity, ownership or
right to use, sell, license or dispose of any Datatec Right nor, to the best
knowledge of Datatec is there any basis for any such claim, nor has Datatec or
any Subsidiary received any notice asserting that any Datatec Right or the

ARTICLE VII
REGISTRATION OF GLASGAL COMMON SHARES
Section 7.1 FILING OF REGISTRATION STATEMENTS. (a) The Buyer
will file a registration statement ("Registration Statement") with respect to
the resale by the Sellers (i) of such number of shares having an aggregate share
value (as defined below) of $2,000,000, as soon as reasonably practicable
following the publication by the Buyer of results of its operations which
-24-
contain 30 days of results of combined operations of the Buyer and Datatec and
(ii) of 15,000 shares in excess of such number of shares having an aggregate
Share Value of $1,000,000, as soon as reasonably practicable following the
completion by the Buyer of the audit of its financial statements for the fiscal
year ending April 30, 1997. The individual Share Value shall be the average
closing price of Glasgal Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the
third trading day prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement. Each
of the Registration Statements described above will register the Glasgal Common
Shares pro rata as among the Sellers.
(b) If the Buyer at any time or from time to time subsequent
to the effective date of the Registration Statement described in Section
7.1(a)(ii) proposes to register any Glasgal Common Stock under the Securities
Act for its own account (other than pursuant to a registration statement
(including pre-effective amendments thereto) (i) on Form S-8 or any successor
form to such form, (ii) on Form S-4 or any successor form to such form, (iii)
filed in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of Glasgal Common
Stock or of securities convertible or exchangeable into Glasgal Common Stock
made solely to its existing shareholders in connection with a rights offering or
solely to employees of the Buyer, or a post-effective amendment to any then
effective registration statement), it will give written notice to each of the
Sellers of its intention at least twenty (20) days in advance of the filing of
any Registration Statement with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, any notice otherwise required by this Section shall not apply
if any agreement to which the Buyer is now, or to which the Buyer later becomes,
a party prohibits the inclusion of the Glasgal Common Stock from any given
Registration Statement and any similar provision to which the Buyer is subject
has not been waived with respect to any other party. Upon the written request of
any of the Sellers given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice,
the Buyer, subject to Section 7.1(c) below, will cause the Glasgal Common Shares
requested by the Sellers to be registered, to be so registered.
(c) (i) In the case of an underwritten offering by the Buyer
of Glasgal Common Stock, the Buyer shall, with respect to Glasgal Common Shares
that a Seller then desires to sell, enter into an underwriting agreement with
the same underwriters engaged by the Buyer with respect to securities being
offered by the Buyer and cause such underwriters to include in any such
underwriting all of the Glasgal Common Shares that a Seller then desires to
sell; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such underwriting agreement is in substantially
the same form as the underwriting agreement that the Buyer enters into in
connection with the primary offering it is making.
-25-
(ii) If the managing underwriter with respect to an
offering pursuant to this Section 7.1 requests in writing that the number of
Glasgal Common Shares of a Seller that are entitled to be registered pursuant to
this Section 7.1 be reduced because in the judgment of the managing underwriter
the offering would be materially and adversely affected, then the Glasgal Common
Shares of the Sellers that they wish to register pursuant to this Section 7.1
shall be reduced by such amount as the managing underwriter may determine in
writing so as to not materially and adversely affect the proposed offering,
which reduced number of Glasgal Common Shares shall be included on a pro rata
basis among the Sellers who are participating in such offering.
Section 7.2 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. Each Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Article VII shall be pursuant to the procedures
set forth below:
(a) The Buyer shall, in accordance with the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations of the SEC, prepare and file with the SEC a
Registration Statement in the form of an appropriate registration statement with
respect to the Glasgal Common Shares covered by such Registration Statement and
use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as
soon as possible after each Registration Statement is filed, and remain
continuously effective, until the earlier of (i) all of the Glasgal Common
Shares covered by such Registration Statement has been sold in accordance with
the intended methods of disposition of the seller or sellers set forth in such
Registration Statement and (ii) 270 days after such Registration Statement has
been declared effective PROVIDED, that if for any portion of such period the
Registration Statement is not effective, then such requirement for maintaining
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be extended by the length
of such interruption(s), and the Buyer shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments to each such Registration Statement and supplements to the prospectus
contained therein as may be necessary to keep each such Registration Statement
effective and each such Registration Statement and prospectus accurate and
complete during such period;
(b) The Buyer shall notify the Sellers participating in such
registration, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the date and

number of copies of the Registration Statement and prospectus and such other
documents as Sellers may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public

qualify the Glasgal Common Shares covered by such Registration Statement under
such state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Sellers may
reasonably request, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Buyer shall not be obligated to

corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject
itself to taxation in connection with any such registration or qualification of
such securities;
(e) The Buyer shall notify the Sellers participating in such
registration promptly of any request by the SEC for the amending or
supplementing of such Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional
information;
(f) The Buyer shall prepare and file with the SEC, promptly

Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements to such Registration
Statement or prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the

thereunder in connection with the distribution of the Glasgal Common Shares by
the Sellers or to otherwise comply with the requirements of the Securities Act
and such rules and regulations;
(g) The Buyer shall prepare and promptly file with the SEC and
promptly notify the Sellers of the filing of such amendments or supplements to
such Registration Statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any
statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to the

Securities Act, any event has occurred as the result of which any such
prospectus or any other prospectus then in effect may include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The
Buyer shall make available to the Sellers and to the underwriters any such
supplement or amendment. The Sellers agree that, upon receipt of any notice from
the Buyer of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in this
subsection (g), the Sellers will forthwith discontinue the offer and sale of
Glasgal Common Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such
Glasgal Common Shares until receipt by the Sellers and underwriters of the
copies of such supplemented or amended prospectus and, if so directed by the
Buyer, the Sellers will deliver to the Buyer all copies, other than permanent
file copies then in the Sellers' possession, of the most recent prospectus
covering such Glasgal Common Shares at the time of receipt of such notice. In
the event the Buyer shall give such notice, the Buyer shall extend the period
during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective as
provided in Section 7.2(a) hereof by the number of days during the period
-27-
from and including the date of the giving of such notice to the date when the
Buyer shall make available to the Sellers such supplemented or amended
prospectus;
(h) The Buyer shall advise the Sellers participating in such
registration, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge
thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the
effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of
any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should
be issued;
(i) The Buyer shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make generally
available to the Buyer's security holders earnings statements satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than forty-five (45)
days after the end of any twelve (12) month period (or ninety (90) days, if such
a period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company's first
fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of a Registration Statement;
(j) The Buyer shall not file any amendment or supplement to a
Registration Statement or prospectus to which a majority in interest of the
Sellers participating in such registration has objected on the grounds that such
amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder,
after having been furnished with a copy thereof at least three business days
prior to the filing thereof unless the Buyer shall have obtained an opinion of
counsel that such amendment is required under the Securities Act or the rules or
regulations adopted thereunder in connection with the distribution of Glasgal
Common Shares by the Sellers.
(k) The Buyer may, at its option, register additional shares
of Glasgal Common Stock in a Registration Statement for sale by other holders of
its Common Stock or include the Glasgal Common Shares in a registration in which
shares of its Common Stock are sold to an underwriter for reoffering to the
public (an "Underwritten Offering").

Buyer incident to the Buyer's performance of or compliance with the provisions
of this Article VII shall be borne by the Buyer including without limitation:

to the Glasgal Common Shares if such registration results in an Underwritten
Offering of all or any portion of the Glasgal Common Shares.

"Losses") that the Buyer or any of its affiliates may incur or become subject to
arising out of or due to any (i) inaccuracy of any representation or the breach
of any warranty or covenant of Carey, Koch, or Datatec contained in this
Agreement (it being understood that the indemnity obligation set forth in this
Section 10.1(i) shall not apply to any claim made by a former, current or future
stockholder of the Buyer based on an inaccuracy of any representation or the
breach of any warranty or covenant of Xxxxx, Xxxx or Datatec contained in this
Agreement) or (ii) Losses relating to the Securities Act, the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or
actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact
contained in a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto and
which was included in a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement
thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Buyer by Xxxxx and the Sellers who are members of Xxxxx'x immediate family
or are trusts for the benefit of Xxxxx or his immediate family or by Xxxx,
specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof, provided,
however, that Xxxxx shall not be liable for any misstatement relating
specifically to Xxxx and the Datatec Shares owned by Xxxx and Xxxx shall not be
liable for any misstatement relating specifically to Xxxxx and the Datatec
Shares owned by Xxxxx. Subject to Section 10.3 hereof, Xxxxx and Xxxx will
reimburse the Buyer and each controlling person pro rata, as provided above, for
any legal or any other expenses
-34-
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding.
Section 10.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE SELLERS. Subject to the
limits set forth in this Article X, each of the Sellers, solely as to their
individual representations and warranties and covenants, agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold the Buyer and each of its directors and officers harmless from
and against any and all Losses, that the Buyer or any of its affiliates may
incur or become subject to arising out of or due to any (i) inaccuracy of any
representation or the breach of any warranty or covenant of the Sellers
contained in this Agreement or (ii) Losses relating to the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto and which was included in a
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon

indemnify may arise under the provisions of Section 10.1, the Buyer shall give
to Xxxxx and Xxxx prompt written notice thereof, and Xxxxx and Xxxx shall have
the right, at their option and expense, to be represented by counsel of their
choice in connection with the defense of any such claim or proceeding, but not
to control the defense or settlement thereof, except as hereinafter provided.
Xxxxx and Xxxx may assume control of the defense or settlement of any such claim
or proceeding which may result in liability to Xxxxx and Xxxx in excess of
$150,000 unless in the reasonable judgment of the Buyer the assumption of such
control by Xxxxx and Xxxx creates a significant risk of a significant continuing
adverse effect on the Buyer's business operations, in which case neither Xxxxx
nor Xxxx shall be entitled to assume the control of the defense or settlement of
such claim. If Xxxxx and Xxxx are entitled to assume control of the defense or
settlement of any such claim or proceeding pursuant to the preceding sentence
and either of them has indicated to the Buyer its willingness to do so in a
reasonably timely manner, but the Buyer does not permit them to do so for the
reasons set forth in the preceding sentence or for any reason, neither Xxxxx nor
Xxxx shall have any obligation to indemnify the Buyer with respect to such claim
or proceeding. In any event, Xxxxx and Xxxx, on one hand, and the
-35-
Buyer on the other hand, agree to cooperate with each other in connection with
the defense of any such legal proceeding, claim, or demand. In addition, if
Xxxxx and Xxxx assume the defense of any such claim and the result is that the
Buyer is not responsible for damages, the Buyer will reimburse Xxxxx and Xxxx
for all reasonable expenses in connection with such defense.
Section 10.4 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE BUYER. Subject to the limits set
forth in this Article X, the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the
Sellers harmless from and against any and all Losses that the Sellers or its
affiliates may incur or become subject to arising out of or due to (i) any
inaccuracy of any representation or the breach of any warranty or covenant of
the Buyer contained in this Agreement or (ii) the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether
commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, or 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, PROVIDED
that the Buyer shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
Losses (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) arise out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in a Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Buyer
through an instrument duly executed by the Sellers specifically stating that it
is for use in the preparation thereof. The Buyer will reimburse the Sellers for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or
proceeding.
Section 10.5 SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties of
Datatec, Xxxxx, the Sellers and the Buyer set forth in Articles III, IV and V of
this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the earlier to occur of (i) the
first anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the completion and publication of
a 12 month audit of the combined results of operations of the Buyer and Datatec.
The covenants and agreements of the Sellers, the Buyer, Datatec and Xxxxx shall
not survive the Closing, except for the covenants and agreements set forth in
Sections 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 6.7, 6.9 and 6.10 and under Articles VII and X
hereof.
Section 10.6 LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding anything in this
Article X to the contrary, in no event shall Xxxxx, Xxxx or any other Seller be
liable for indemnification under this Article X or otherwise in an amount in
excess of $2,400,000 pro rata in proportion to the number of their respective
Datatec Shares being sold pursuant to this Agreement. In addition,
-36-
except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, no party shall assert any
claim against any other party or parties for indemnification hereunder with
respect to any inaccuracy or breach of such warranties, representations,
covenants or agreements unless and until the amount of all such claims shall
exceed $25,000, and then only for the excess above $25,000, PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that any claim against Xxxxx relating to a breach of a representation or
warranty contained in Article IV or Sections 3.2, 3.3, or 3.8 shall not be
limited by this provision. With respect to possible future obligations of
Datatec which are set forth in (i) Item 1 of Schedule 3.6 hereto and (ii) Items
1, 2, and 3 of Schedule 3.8 hereto, no party shall assert any claim against any
other party for indemnification hereunder with respect to any liability in
excess of the amounts disclosed in such Item unless and until the liability for
any such individual Item exceeds the amount disclosed in the relevant Item by
more than $150,000, and then only for the amount in excess of $150,000.
Section 10.7 REDUCTION FOR INSURANCE. The gross amount which
an indemnifying party is liable to, for, or on behalf of the indemnified party
pursuant to this Article X (the "Indemnifiable Loss") shall be reduced
(including, without limitation, retroactively) by any insurance proceeds
actually recovered by or on behalf of such indemnified party related to the
Indemnifiable Loss. If an indemnified party shall have received or shall have
had paid on its behalf an indemnity payment in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss
and shall subsequently receive directly or indirectly insurance proceeds in
respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, then such indemnified party shall pay to
such indemnifying party the net amount of such insurance proceeds or, if less,
the amount of such indemnity payment.
Section 10.8 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for
in this Article X is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any
Losses relating to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, then each
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party as a result
of such Losses, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Buyer on the one hand and of
the Sellers, Carey or Xxxx, as the case may be, on the other in connection with
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact in a Registration Statement or any
amendment or supplement thereto. The relative fault of the Buyer on the one hand
and of the Sellers, Carey or Xxxx, as the case may be, on the other shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity
-37-
to correct or prevent such untrue statement 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. In no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying party to
contribute under this Section 10.8 exceed the amount that such indemnifying
party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the
indemnification provided for under Sections 10.1, Section 10.2 or 10.3 (as
limited by Section 10.6) had been available under the circumstances.
The Buyer, the Sellers, Carey and Xxxx agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10.8 were
determined by PRO RATA allocation 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 party as a
result of the Losses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding
sentence, any legal or other expenses reasonable incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
