-----
period ended November 30, 1998. Such financial statements (a) were prepared in

----
financial condition and the results of its operations as of the date thereof and

the Company's historical income statement for the eleven month period ended
November 30, 1998 with the results of operations for AGI Incorporated for the
period from January 1, 1998 through March 12, 1998 and the results of operations
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Robor plc for the period from January 1, 1998 through September 10,

necessarily indicative of the Company's results of operations that might have
occurred had the acquisitions of AGI Incorporated and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Robor plc and the
related financing transactions been completed as of January 1, 1998 and do not
purport to represent what the Company's results of operations might be for any
future period.

2.10, since November 30, 1998, the Company has conducted business only in the

the ordinary course of business except as contemplated by this Agreement or any
other Operative Document (including the schedules hereto or thereto).
SECTION 2.11. Employee Benefit Plans.
----------------------
(a) Set forth on Schedule 2.11(a) is a list (or, in the case of the
Company's European Subsidiaries, a general description) of each employee benefit
plan, as defined in section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), maintained by the Company (each, except in the
-----
case of any Multiemployer Plan (as defined below), an "Employee Benefit Plan")
---------------------
or any ERISA Affiliate (as defined below), each multiemployer plan as defined in
section 4001 (a) (3) of ERISA to which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate
contributes (each a "Multiemployer Plan"), each collective bargaining agreement
------------- ----
to which the Company is a party, each employee retirement health, welfare, or
other employee benefit plan, program or scheme subject to the laws of a country
other than the United States (each a "Foreign Plan"), and each other plan,
------------

benefits to employees of the Company (each a "Benefit Arrangement"). For
------- -----------
purposes of this Agreement, "ERISA Affiliate" shall mean any person (within the
----- ---------
meaning of section 3(9) of ERISA) that would be regarded together with the
Company as a single employer under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

operation of law, liability to any person (governmental or not) under the

a claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a third party, Losses are
intended to be limited to any decrease in value of the Purchasers' investment in
the Securities allegedly caused by the breach or failure of the Company giving
rise to such claim for indemnification.
(c) The Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company and its respective partners, affiliates, officers,
directors, employees and duly authorized agents and each of their affiliates and
each other person controlling the Company or any of its affiliates within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act and any partner of any of them against any loss, claim, liability, cost,
expense or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements and court costs) accruing from or resulting by reason of (i) the
breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the Purchasers in
this Agreement or in any certificate or other document or instrument furnished
by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the breach or failure of
any Purchaser duly to perform or observe any covenant or agreement on the part
of such Purchaser to be performed or observed that has not been waived by the
other party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.03 (the
"Indemnification Obligation") is unavailable to or insufficient to hold
--------------- ----------
harmless an Indemnified Party under subsection (b) or (c) above in respect of
any loss, claim, liability, cost, expense or damage (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party that would otherwise
have liability pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) above shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss,
claim, liability, cost, expense or damage in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one
hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the sale and purchase of the
Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding
sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the Indemnified Party failed
to give the notice required under subsection (e) below, then each Indemnifying
Party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits
but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the
Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements, omissions or
actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.
(e) If a person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified
-----------
Party") asserts that any party hereto (the "Indemnifying Party") has become
----- ------------ -----
obligated to the Indemnified Party
30
pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) above, or if any suit, action, investigation,
claim or proceeding is begun, made or instituted as a result of which the
Indemnifying Party may become obligated to the Indemnified Party hereunder, the
Indemnified Party agrees to notify the Indemnifying Party promptly and to
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, to
the extent reasonably necessary for the resolution of such claim or in the
defense of such suit, action or proceeding, including making available any
information, documents and things in the possession of the Indemnified Party
which are reasonably necessary therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing notice requirement, the right to
indemnification hereunder shall not be affected by any failure to give, or delay
in giving, notice unless, and only to the extent that, the rights and remedies
of the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of
such failure or delay.
(f) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to investigate,
defend, settle or otherwise handle, with the aforesaid cooperation, any claim,
suit, action or proceeding brought by a third party in such manner as the
Indemnifying Party may in its sole discretion deem appropriate; provided, that
--------
the Indemnifying Party will not consent to any settlement imposing any material
obligations on any other party hereto other than financial obligations for which
such party will be indemnified hereunder, unless such party has consented in
writing to such settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Indemnifying Party may retain one firm of counsel to represent all
Indemnified Parties in such claim, action or proceeding; provided, however, that
-------- -------
in the event that the defendants in, or targets of, any such claim, action or
proceeding include more than one Indemnified Party, and any Indemnified Party
shall have reasonably concluded, based on the opinion of its own counsel, that
there exist one or more legal defenses available to it which are in conflict
with those available to any other Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party
may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it or any other person
entitled to indemnification and reimbursement hereunder with respect to any such
claim, action or proceeding in which it or such other person may become involved
or is named as defendant and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable
fees and disbursement of such counsel. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party's
election to assume the defense or investigation of such claim, action or
proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense or investigation of such claim, action
or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the expense of such
separate counsel, if (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified
Party within a reasonable time after notice of the assertion of any such claim
or institution of any such action or proceeding or (ii) the Indemnifying Party
shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the
Indemnifying Party's expense.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company is the
Indemnifying Party and is unable, pursuant to the terms of (i) the "Existing
--------
Financing Arrangements" (as defined in the Certificate), (ii) any of the
--------- ------------
Existing Financing Arrangements, as amended, waived
31
or supplemented after the Closing Date, but without giving effect to any such
amendments, waivers or supplements to the extent they have the effect of further
restricting in any material respect, as compared to the restrictions imposed by
Section 8.11 of the "Current Credit Agreement" (as defined in the Certificate)
and Section 4.07 of the "Indenture" (as defined in the Certificate) (the
"Existing Restricted Payment Covenants"), as determined in good faith by the
-------------------------------------
Company's Board of Directors, the Company's ability to satisfy its
Indemnification Obligations under this Section 7.03, or (iii) any new "Financing
Arrangements" (as defined in the Certificate) entered into by the Company or its
Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, but only to the extent such new Financing
Arrangements do not have the effect of further restricting in any material
respect, as compared to the restrictions imposed by the Existing Restricted
Payment Covenants, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors, the Company's ability to satisfy its Indemnification Obligations
under this Section 7.03, the Company shall satisfy such obligations by issuing
to the Indemnified Party shares of Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate
Liquidation Preference equal to 115% of the amount finally determined to be owed
with respect to such Indemnification Obligation or other obligation, as
applicable.
SECTION 7.04. Assignment; Restrictions on Transfer; No Third Party
----------------------------------------------------
Beneficiaries. This Agreement and rights, duties and obligations hereunder may
-------------
not be assigned, delegated or otherwise Transferred by the Company without the
prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except for a grant of

3.08, any Purchaser may assign, delegate or Transfer any or all of the Preferred
and/or Warrants owned by such Purchaser and all of their rights and obligations
hereunder to any transferee of Preferred or Warrants, and the assignee(s),
transferee(s), or recipient(s) shall have, to the extent of such assignment,
delegation or Transfer, the same rights and obligations and benefits as it would
if it (or they) were a Purchaser (or Purchasers) with respect to such Preferred
and/or Warrants. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and their respective
