ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in
any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to
the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any
such action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of
Section 145 or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith; that the indemnification provided for
by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which the
indemnified party may be entitled; that indemnification provided by
II-1
<PAGE> 3
Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified,
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and
administrators; and empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of
his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145.
Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law or the State of Delaware
provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of the
director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation
or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article Eleventh of the registrant's Charter provides that, to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or
as it may hereafter be amended, no director of the registrant shall be
personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Section 6.1 of the registrant's Bylaws further provides that the registrant
shall, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, indemnify each of its directors and officers
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, settlements, and
other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any
proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of
the registrant.
The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
directors and executive officers.
The registrant maintains officers' and directors' liability insurance.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
shall be
II-2
<PAGE> 4
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Charter or the
Bylaws of the registrant, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the

(viii) The issue and sale of the Shares being delivered at
such Time of Delivery to be sold by the Company and the compliance by
the Company with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the
International Underwriting Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or
result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of,
or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
loan agreement or other agreement or instrument which is filed as an
Exhibit to the Registration Statement, or filed as an exhibit to a
document incorporated by reference therein, or listed on an annex to
such opinion provided by the Underwriters (in giving the opinion in
this clause, such counsel may attach to such opinion a list of the
foregoing), nor will such action result in any violation of the
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the
Company or any statute or any order, rule or regulation known to such
counsel of any court or governmental agency or body having
jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of
their properties (other than the clearance of the underwriting
arrangements with the NASD, Blue Sky or state securities law matters
in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Shares by the
Underwriters or the performance of the Underwriters' obligations under
this Agreement and the International Underwriting Agreement);
(ix) No consent, approval, authorization, order,
registration or qualification of or with any such court or
governmental agency or body is required for the issue and sale of the
Shares or the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the International Underwriting
Agreement, except the registration under the Act of the Shares, and
such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
qualifications as may be required under state or foreign securities or
Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the
Shares by the Underwriters and the International Underwriters;
(x) To such counsel's knowledge, neither the Company nor
any "significant subsidiary" (as defined in Regulation S-X) of the

violation of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws;

(xi) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in
default in the performance or observance of any material obligation,
agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, loan agreement, or lease or agreement or other
instrument which is filed as an Exhibit to, or referred to in, the
Registration Statement, or filed as an exhibit to, or referred to in,
a document incorporated by reference therein (in giving the opinion in
this clause, such counsel may attach to such opinion a list of the
foregoing;
(xii) The statements incorporated by reference into the
Prospectus, insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the
terms of the Stock, are accurate, complete and fair in all material
respects;
(xiii) The Company is not an "investment company" or an
entity "controlled" by an "investment company", as such terms are
defined in the Investment Company Act;
(xiv) The documents incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the
Company prior to such Time of Delivery (other than the financial
statements and related schedules thereto, and other financial data
included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such
counsel need express no opinion), when they became effective or were
filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied as to form in
all material respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange
Act as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder; and although they do not assume any responsibility for the
accuracy, completeness or fairness of such documents (except as
provided in opinion (xii)), they have no reason to believe that any of
such documents (other than the financial statements and related
schedules thereto, and other financial data included or incorporated
by reference therein, to which such counsel need express no opinion),
when such documents became effective or were so filed, as the case may
be, contained, in the case of a registration statement which became
effective under the Act, an 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, in the
case of other documents which were filed under the Exchange Act with
the Commission, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made
when such documents were so filed, not misleading; and
(xv) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any
further amendments and supplements thereto made by the Company prior
to such Time of Delivery (other than the financial statements and
related schedules thereto, and other financial data included or
incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need
express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with
the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder;
although they do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, except for those referred to
in the opinion in subsection (xii) of this Section 7(c), they have no
reason to believe that, as of its effective date, the Registration
Statement or any further amendment thereto made by the Company prior
to such Time of Delivery (other than the financial statements and
related schedules thereto, and other financial data included or
incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need
express no opinion) contained an untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the
-16-
<PAGE> 17
statements therein not misleading or that, as of its date, the
Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the
Company prior to such Time of Delivery (other than the financial
statements and related schedules thereto, and other financial data
included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such
counsel need express no opinion) contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading or that, as of such Time of Delivery,
either the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any further
amendment or supplement thereto made by the Company prior to such Time
of Delivery (other than the financial statements and related schedules
thereto, and other financial data included or incorporated by
reference therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion)
contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
such counsel does not know of any amendment to the Registration
Statement required to be filed or of any contracts or other documents
of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement or required to be incorporated by reference into the
Prospectus or required to be described in the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus which are not filed or incorporated by reference or
described as required.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no
opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal securities
laws of the United States, the Delaware General Corporation Law, and the laws
of the State of Texas. With respect to the opinions set forth in subparagraphs
(iv) and (x) above, to the extent that such opinions address questions of law
not involving the federal securities laws of the United States, the Delaware
General Corporation Law or the laws of the State of Texas, such counsel may
deliver opinions of local counsel as to such matters, provided that Brobeck,
Phleger & Harrison LLP shall state that they believe that you are justified in
relying upon such opinions. In addition, in lieu of rendering the opinions set
forth in subparagraphs (v) and (xi) above, such counsel may deliver an opinion
of Robert C. Donohoo, Corporate Counsel to the Company as to such matters,
provided that Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP shall state that they believe
that you are justified in relying upon such opinions.
(d) Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP, special counsel for
each of the Selling Stockholders, shall have furnished to you their written
opinion with respect to each of the Selling Stockholders (a draft of such
opinion is attached as Annex II(c) hereto), dated the First Time of Delivery,
in form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect that:
(i) A Power of Attorney and a Custody Agreement have been
duly executed and delivered by such Selling Stockholder and constitute
valid and binding agreements of such Selling Stockholder in accordance
with their terms;
(ii) This Agreement and the International Underwriting
Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of
such Selling Stockholder; and the sale of the Shares to be sold by
such Selling Stockholder hereunder and thereunder and the compliance
by such Selling Stockholder with all of the provisions of this
Agreement and the International Underwriting Agreement, the Power of
Attorney and the Custody Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or
result in a breach or violation of any terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any statute, or any material
-17-
<PAGE> 18
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement
or instrument known to such counsel to which such Selling Stockholder
is a party or by which such Selling Stockholder is bound, or to which
any of the property or assets of such Selling Stockholder is subject,
nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of such Selling Stockholder if
such Selling Stockholder is a corporation, the Partnership Agreement
of such Selling Stockholder if such Selling Stockholder is a
partnership or any order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of
any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such
Selling Stockholder or the property of such Selling Stockholder;
(iii) To such counsel's knowledge, no consent, approval,
authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is
required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the International Underwriting Agreement in connection
with the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder or
thereunder, except such as have been obtained under the Act and such
as may be required under state or foreign securities or Blue Sky laws
in connection with the purchase and distribution of such Shares by the
Underwriters or the International Underwriters;
(iv) Immediately prior to the consummation of the sale of
Shares by each Selling Stockholder as contemplated by this Agreement
and the International Underwriting Agreement, such Selling Stockholder
was the sole registered owner of the Shares to be sold by such Selling
Stockholder under this Agreement and the International Underwriting
Agreement, and, to the knowledge of such counsel, there are no facts
or circumstances that would lead such counsel to believe that, as of
the First Time of Delivery, any Selling Stockholder is in breach of
the warranties described in Section 8.108 of the Texas Uniform
Commercial Code; and
(v) The laws of the State of Texas govern the delivery of
the certificates evidencing the Shares to be sold by the Selling
Stockholders to the Underwriters and payment by the Underwriters of
the purchase price for such Shares, and upon such delivery and payment
the Underwriters will acquire such Shares free of all adverse claims
(as such term is defined in Section 8.102 of the Texas Uniform
Commercial Code), assuming that the Underwriters do not have notice of
any adverse claim (as such term is defined in Section 8.102 of the
Texas Uniform Commercial Code).
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no
opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal securities
laws of the United States, the Delaware General Corporation Law, and the laws
of the State of Texas. With respect to the opinions set forth in subparagraphs
(i), (ii) and (iii) above, to the extent that such opinions address questions
of law not involving the federal securities laws of the United States, the
Delaware General Corporation Law or the laws of the State of Texas, such
counsel may deliver opinions of local counsel as to such matters, provided that
Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP shall state that they believe that you are
justified in relying upon such opinions. In addition, in rendering the
opinion in subparagraph (iv) such counsel may rely upon a certificate of such
Selling Stockholder in respect of matters of fact as to ownership of, and
liens, encumbrances, equities or claims on the Shares sold by such Selling
Stockholder, provided that such counsel shall state that they believe that both
you and they are justified in relying upon such certificate.

execution of this Agreement, at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the effective
date of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement filed

Ernst & Young LLP shall have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated the

you, to the effect set forth in Annex I hereto (the executed copy of the letter
delivered prior to the execution of this Agreement is attached as Annex I(a)
hereto and a draft of the form of letter to be delivered on the effective date
of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and as of each

included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any loss or
interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity,
whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or
governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or
contemplated in the Prospectus, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which
information is given in the Prospectus there shall not have been any change in
the capital stock, stock options or long-term debt of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a prospective
change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position,
stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus,
the effect of which, in any such case described in Clause (i) or (ii), is in
the judgment of the Representatives so material and adverse as to make it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the
delivery of the Shares being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms
and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
(g) On or after the date hereof (i) no downgrading shall
have occurred in the rating, if any, accorded the Company's debt securities by
any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization", as that term is
defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, and
(ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under
surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating, if
any, of any of the Company's debt securities;
(h) On or after the date hereof there shall not have
occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in
trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or on NASDAQ;
(ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company's securities
on NASDAQ; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared
by either Federal, New York or Texas State authorities; or (iv) the outbreak or
escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the
United States of a national emergency or war, if the effect of any such event

impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the
delivery of the Shares being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms
and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
(i) The Shares to be sold by the Company and the Selling
Stockholders at such Time of Delivery shall have been duly listed for quotation

<PAGE> 20
(k) The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have
furnished or caused to be furnished to you at such Time of Delivery
certificates of officers of the Company and of the Selling Stockholders,
respectively, satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, respectively, herein at
and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company and the
Selling Stockholders of all of their respective obligations hereunder to be
performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery, and as to such other matters as
you may reasonably request, and the Company shall have furnished or caused to

8. (a) The Company and each of Sanjiv S. Sidhu, Kanna N.
Sharma, The K-B Sharma Limited Partnership, Sidhu - Singh Family Investments,
Ltd., Sandeep R. Tungare, and Gregory A. Brady (collectively, the "Management
Selling Stockholders"), jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless
each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse
each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and the
Management Selling Stockholders shall not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter
through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein; provided, further, that
the liability of each Management Selling Stockholder pursuant to this
subsection (a) shall not (i) exceed the product of the number of Shares sold by
such Management Selling Stockholder and the public offering price of the Shares
as set forth in the Prospectus or (ii) extend to any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which an Underwriter may become subject unless an Underwriter
shall have given notice of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) within two years from the date of this Agreement
and a claim related thereto shall have been made within three years from the
date of this Agreement.
(b) Each of the Selling Stockholders (other than the Management
Selling Stockholders) will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such
Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated
-20-
<PAGE> 21
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each
case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any
such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for
use therein; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are
incurred; provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by any Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use
therein; provided, further, that the liability of a Selling Stockholder
pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not exceed the product of the number of
Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder and the public offering price of the
Shares as set forth in the Prospectus.
(c) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and each Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
to which the Company or such Selling Stockholder may become subject, under the
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment
or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co.
expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and each Selling
Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company
or such Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action,
such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against an indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (which shall not,
except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the
indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such
subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in
each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with
the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No
-21-
<PAGE> 22
indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party,
effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment
with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim)
unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional
release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action
or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares.
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 (d) above, 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 Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling
Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed
to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the
Shares purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by
the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the
Shares purchased under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table
on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault 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 or the Selling
Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The Company, each of the Selling
Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds the amount of any damages which 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 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The
-22-
<PAGE> 23
Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in
proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling
Stockholders under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which
the Company and the respective Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and
shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of
the Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability
which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the
same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to
each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within
the meaning of the Act.
9. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to
purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of
Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other
parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within
thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for
the purchase of such Shares, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders
shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to
procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such
Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed
periods, you notify the Company and the Selling Stockholders that you have so
arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company and the Selling
Stockholders notify you that they have so arranged for the purchase of such
Shares, you or the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to
postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in
order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or
arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be
made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include
any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person
had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and
the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above,
the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed
one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the Shares to be purchased at
such Time of Delivery, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have
the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of
Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of
Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to
purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such
Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but
nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its
default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and
the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above,
the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds
one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the Shares to be purchased at
such Time of Delivery, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not
exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting
Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters,
then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the
-23-
<PAGE> 24
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the
Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of
any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Selling Stockholders,
except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Selling Stockholders
and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and
contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a
defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations,
warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and
the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on
behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the
results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling
person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders,
or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any
controlling person of any Selling Stockholder, and shall survive delivery of
and payment for the Shares.
11. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9
hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall then be under
any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof;
but, if for any other reason any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of

ANNEX I
Pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Underwriting Agreement, the
accountants shall furnish letters to the Underwriters to the effect that:
(i) They are independent certified public accountants
with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries within the meaning of
the Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder;
(ii) In their opinion, the financial statements and any
supplementary financial information and schedules (and, if applicable,
financial forecasts and/or pro forma financial information) examined
by them and included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus comply as to form in all material respects
with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act or the Exchange
Act, as applicable, and the related published rules and regulations
thereunder; and, if applicable, they have made a review in accordance
with standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants of the consolidated interim financial statements,
selected financial data, pro forma financial information, financial
forecasts and/or condensed financial statements derived from audited
financial statements of the Company for the periods specified in such
letter, as indicated in their reports thereon, copies of which have
been separately furnished to the representatives of the Underwriters
(the "Representatives");
(iii) They have made a review in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income,
consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows
included in the Prospectus and/or incorporated by reference into the
Prospectus as indicated in their reports thereon copies of which have
been separately furnished to the Representatives; and on the basis of
specified procedures including inquiries of officials of the Company
who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters regarding
whether the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
referred to in paragraph (vi)(A)(i) below comply as to form in all
material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the
Act and the Exchange Act and the related published rules and
regulations, nothing came to their attention that caused them to
believe that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable
accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the
related published rules and regulations;
(iv) The unaudited selected financial information with
respect to the consolidated results of operations and financial
position of the Company for the five most recent fiscal years included
in the Prospectus or incorporated by reference therein agrees with the
corresponding amounts (after restatement where applicable) in the
audited consolidated financial statements for such five fiscal years
which were included or incorporated by reference in the Company's
Annual Reports on Form 10-K for such fiscal years and in the Company's
Current Reports on Form 8-K, as the case may be;
(v) They have compared the information in the Prospectus
under selected captions with the disclosure requirements of Regulation
S-K and on the basis of limited procedures
<PAGE> 30
specified in such letter nothing came to their attention as a result
of the foregoing procedures that caused them to believe that this
information does not conform in all material respects with the
disclosure requirements of Items 301, 302, 402 and 503(d),
respectively, of Regulation S-K;
(vi) On the basis of limited procedures, not constituting
an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, consisting of a reading of the unaudited financial
statements and other information referred to below, a reading of the
latest available interim financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries, inspection of the minute books of the Company and its
subsidiaries since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, inquiries of
officials of the Company and its subsidiaries responsible for
financial and accounting matters and such other inquiries and
procedures as may be specified in such letter, nothing came to their
attention that caused them to believe that:
(A) (i) the unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of income, consolidated balance sheets and
consolidated statements of cash flows included in the
Prospectus and/or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus
do not comply as to form in all material respects with the
applicable accounting requirements of the Exchange Act and the
related published rules and regulations, or (ii) any material
modifications should be made to the unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of income, consolidated balance sheets
and consolidated statements of cash flows included in the
Prospectus or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles;
(B) any other unaudited income statement data and
balance sheet items included in the Prospectus do not agree
with the corresponding items in the unaudited consolidated
financial statements from which such data and items were
derived, and any such unaudited data and items were not
determined on a basis substantially consistent with the basis
for the corresponding amounts in the audited consolidated
financial statements included or incorporated by reference in
the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K for the most recent
fiscal year;
(C) the unaudited financial statements which were
not included in the Prospectus but from which were derived the
unaudited condensed financial statements referred to in Clause
(A) and any unaudited income statement data and balance sheet
items included in the Prospectus and referred to in Clause (B)
were not determined on a basis substantially consistent with
the basis for the audited financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in the Company's Current Reports on
Form 8-K for the most recent fiscal year;
(D) any unaudited pro forma consolidated
condensed financial statements included or incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus do not comply as to form in all
material respects with the applicable accounting requirements
of the Act and the published rules and regulations thereunder
or the pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to
the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements;
-2-
<PAGE> 31
(E) as of a specified date not more than five
days prior to the date of such letter, there have been any
changes in the consolidated capital stock (other than
issuances of capital stock upon exercise of options and stock
appreciation rights, upon earn-outs of performance shares and
upon conversions of convertible securities, in each case which
were outstanding on the date of the latest balance sheet
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus) or
any increase in the consolidated long-term debt of the Company
and its subsidiaries, or any decreases in consolidated net
current assets or stockholders' equity or other items
specified by the Representatives, or any increases in any
items specified by the Representatives, in each case as
compared with amounts shown in the latest balance sheet
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus,
except in each case for changes, increases or decreases which
the Prospectus discloses have occurred or may occur or which
are described in such letter; and
(F) for the period from the date of the latest
financial statements included or incorporated by reference in
the Prospectus to the specified date referred to in Clause (E)
there were any decreases in consolidated net revenues or
operating profit or the total or per share amounts of
consolidated net income or other items specified by the
Representatives, or any increases in any items specified by
the Representatives, in each case as compared with the
comparable period of the preceding year and with any other
period of corresponding length specified by the
Representatives, except in each case for increases or
decreases which the Prospectus discloses have occurred or may
occur or which are described in such letter; and
(vii) In addition to the examination referred to in their report(s)
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and the limited
procedures, inspection of minute books, inquiries and other procedures referred
to in paragraphs (iii) and (vi) above, they have carried out certain specified
procedures, not constituting an examination in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, with respect to certain amounts, percentages and
financial information specified by the Representatives which are derived from
the general accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries, which
appear in the Prospectus (excluding documents incorporated by reference) or in
Part II of, or in exhibits and schedules to, the Registration Statement
specified by the Representatives or in documents incorporated by reference in
the Prospectus specified by the Representatives, and have compared certain of
such amounts, percentages and financial information with the accounting records
of the Company and its subsidiaries and have found them to be in agreement.

of 600,000 shares to be sold by the Company and the Selling Stockholders is
herein called the "Firm Shares" and the aggregate of 90,000 additional shares
to be sold by the Company is herein called the "Optional Shares". The Firm
Shares and the Optional Shares which the Underwriters elect to purchase pursuant

which is attached hereto (the "U.S. Underwriting Agreement"), providing for the
sale by the Company and the Selling Stockholders of up to a total of 2,760,000
shares of Stock (the "U.S. Shares"), including the overallotment option
thereunder, through arrangements with certain underwriters in the United States
(the "U.S. Underwriters"), for whom Goldman, Sachs & Co., Deutsche Morgan
Grenfell, Inc., Hambrecht & Quist LLC and UBS Securities LLC are acting as
representatives. Anything herein or therein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the respective closings under this Agreement and the U.S. Underwriting
Agreement are hereby expressly made conditional on one another. The
Underwriters hereunder and the U.S. Underwriters are simultaneously entering
into an Agreement between U.S. and International Underwriting Syndicates (the
"Agreement between Syndicates") which provides, among other things, for the
transfer of shares of Stock between the two syndicates and for consultation by
the Lead Managers hereunder with Goldman, Sachs
<PAGE> 2
& Co. prior to exercising the rights of the Underwriters under Section 7
hereof. Two forms of prospectus are to be used in connection with the offering
and sale of shares of Stock contemplated by the foregoing, one relating to the
Shares hereunder and the other relating to the U.S. Shares. The latter form of
prospectus will be identical to the former except for certain substitute pages.
Except as used in Sections 2, 3, 4, 9 and 11 herein, and except as context may
otherwise require, references hereinafter to the Shares shall include all of
the shares of Stock which may be sold pursuant to either this Agreement or the
U.S. Underwriting Agreement, and references herein to any prospectus whether in
preliminary or final form, and whether as amended or supplemented, shall
include both the U.S. and the international versions thereof.
In addition, this Agreement incorporates by reference certain
provisions from the U.S. Underwriting Agreement (including the related
definitions of terms, which are also used elsewhere herein) and, for purposes of
applying the same, references (whether in these precise words or their
equivalent) in the incorporated provisions to the "Underwriters" shall be to the
Underwriters hereunder, to the "Shares" shall be to the Shares hereunder as just
defined, to "this Agreement" (meaning therein the U.S. Underwriting Agreement)
shall be to this Agreement (except where this Agreement is already referred to
or as the context may otherwise require) and to the representatives of the
Underwriters or to Goldman, Sachs & Co. shall be to the addressees of this
Agreement and to Goldman Sachs International ("GSI"), and, in general, all such
provisions and defined terms shall be applied mutatis mutandis as if the
incorporated provisions were set forth in full herein having regard to their
context in this Agreement as opposed to the U.S. Underwriting Agreement.
1. The Company and each of the several Selling Stockholders
hereby make to the Underwriters the same respective representations, warranties
and agreements as are set forth in Section 1 of the U.S. Underwriting
Agreement, which Section is incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, (a) the
Company and each of the Selling Stockholders agree, severally and not jointly,
to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees,
severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company and each of the Selling
Stockholders, at a purchase price per share of $44.90, the number of Firm
Shares (to be adjusted by you so as to eliminate fractional shares) determined
by multiplying the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be sold by the Company and
each of the Selling Stockholders as set forth opposite their respective names in
Schedule II hereto by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number
of Firm Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter as set forth opposite the
name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto and the denominator of which is
the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased by all the Underwriters from
the Company and all the Selling Stockholders hereunder and (b) in the event and
to the extent that the Underwriters shall exercise the election to purchase
Optional Shares as provided below, the Company agrees to sell to each of the
Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to
purchase from the Company, at the purchase price per share set forth in clause
(a) of this Section 2, that portion of the number of Optional Shares as to which
such election shall have been exercised (to be adjusted by you so as to
eliminate fractional shares) determined by multiplying such number of Optional
Shares by a fraction the numerator of which is the maximum number of Optional
Shares which such Underwriter is entitled to purchase as set forth opposite the
name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto and the denominator of which is
the maximum number of Optional Shares that all of the Underwriters are entitled
to purchase hereunder.
-2-
<PAGE> 3
The Company hereby grants to the Underwriters the right to purchase at
their election up to 150,000 Optional Shares, at the purchase price per share
set forth in the paragraph above, for the sole purpose of covering
overallotments in the sale of the Firm Shares. Any such election to purchase
Optional Shares may be exercised only by written notice from you to the Company,

3. Upon the authorization by GSI of the release of the Firm Shares, the
several Underwriters propose to offer the Firm Shares for sale upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Prospectus and in the forms of Agreement among
Underwriters (International Version) and Selling Agreements, which have been
previously submitted to the Company by you. Each Underwriter hereby makes to and
with the Company and the Selling Stockholders the representations and agreements
of such Underwriter as a member of the selling group contained in Sections 3(d)
and 3(e) of the form of Selling Agreements.
4. (a) The Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter
hereunder, in definitive form, and in such authorized denominations and
registered in such names as Goldman, Sachs & Co. may request upon at least
forty-eight hours' prior notice to the Company and the Selling Stockholders
shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders
to Goldman, Sachs & Co., through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company
("DTC"), for the account of such Underwriter, against payment by or on behalf of
such Underwriter of the purchase price therefor by certified or official bank
check or checks, payable to the order of the Company and the Custodian, as their
interests may appear, in Federal (same day) funds or by wire transfer of Federal

Custodian. The Company will cause the certificates representing the Shares to be
made available for checking and packaging at least twenty-four hours prior to

DTC or its designated custodian (the "Designated Office"). The time and date of
such delivery and payment shall be, with respect to the Firm Shares, 9:30 a.m.,
New York City time, on December 10, 1997 on such other time and date as
Goldman, Sachs & Co. and, the Company may agree upon in writing, and, with
respect to the Optional Shares, 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date
specified by Goldman, Sachs & Co. in the written notice given by Goldman, Sachs
& Co. of the Underwriters' election to purchase such Optional Shares, or such

writing. Such time and date for delivery of the Firm Shares is herein called the
"First Time of Delivery", such time and date for delivery of the Firm Optional
Shares, if not the First Time of Delivery, is herein called the "Second Time of
Delivery", and each such time and date for delivery is herein called a "Time of
Delivery".
(b) The documents to be delivered at each Time of Delivery by
or on behalf of the parties hereto pursuant to Section 7 of the U.S.
Underwriting Agreement, including the cross-receipt for the Shares and any
additional documents requested by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7(k) of
the U.S. Underwriting Agreement, and the check or checks specified in subsection
(a) above, will be delivered at the offices of the Company, 909 E. Las Colinas
Blvd., 16th Floor, Irving, Texas 75039 (the "Closing Location"), and the Shares
will be delivered at the Designated Office, all at each Time of Delivery. A

time, on the New York Business Day next preceding each Time of Delivery, at

-3-
<PAGE> 4

4, "New York Business Day" shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
5. The Company hereby makes with the Underwriters the same agreements
as are set forth in Section 5 of the U.S. Underwriting Agreement, which Section
is incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders, and the Underwriters
hereby agree with respect to certain expenses on the same terms as are set forth

shall be as follows: "In addition, (A) the Underwriters will reimburse the
Company an aggregate of $35,500.00 and pay to the Custodian for the benefit of

the extent that the Underwriters shall exercise the election to purchase
Optional Shares as provided in Section 2, the Underwriters will reimburse the
Company an aggregate of $7,987.50 multiplied by a fraction the numerator of
which is the aggregate number of Optional Shares which the Underwriters so elect
to purchase and the denominator of which is 90,000.
7. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement between Syndicates, the
obligations of the Underwriters hereunder shall be subject, in their discretion,
at each Time of Delivery to the condition that all representations and
warranties and other statements of the Company, and the Selling Stockholders
herein are, at and as of such Time of Delivery, true and correct, the condition
that the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have performed all of their
respective obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and additional
conditions identical to those set forth in Section 7 of the U.S. Underwriting
Agreement, which Section is incorporated herein by this reference.
8. (a) The Company and each of Sanjiv S. Sidhu, Kanna N. Sharma, The

R. Tungare and Gregory A. Brady (collectively, the "Management Selling
Stockholders"), jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse
each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and
the Management Selling Stockholders shall not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any
Underwriter through GSI expressly for use therein; provided, further, that the
liability of each Management Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection
(a) shall not (i) exceed the product of the number of Shares sold by such
Management Selling Stockholder and the public offering price of the Shares as
set forth in the Prospectus or (ii) extend to any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which an Underwriter may become subject unless an Underwriter
-4-
<PAGE> 5

actions in respect thereof) within two years from the date of this Agreement and
a claim related thereto shall have been made within three years from the date of

(b) Each of the Selling Stockholders (other than the
Management Selling Stockholders), jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein; and will reimburse each
Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Selling
Stockholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any
such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through GSI expressly
for use therein; provided, further, that the liability of a Selling Stockholder
pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not exceed the product of the number of
Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder and the initial public offering price of
the Shares as set forth in the Prospectus.
(c) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which the Company or such Selling Stockholder may become subject,
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment
or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through GSI expressly for use
therein; and will reimburse the Company and each Selling Stockholder for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Selling
Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
claim as such expenses are incurred.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action,
such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against an indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not
-5-
<PAGE> 6
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and,
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of
other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent
of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or
claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party
to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of
any indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the
one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. 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 (d) above, 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 Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the
one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares purchased
under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the
Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriters with respect to the Shares purchased under this
Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
Prospectus. The relative fault 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 or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the
Underwriters on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e)
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as
one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
referred to above in this subsection (e) shall
-6-
<PAGE> 7
be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which 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 Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection
(e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations and not joint.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling
Stockholders under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which
the Company and the respective Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls
any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the
Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which
the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each
person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the
meaning of the Act.
9. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to
purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of
Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other
parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within
thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for
the purchase of such Shares, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders
shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to
procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such
Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed
periods, you notify the Company and the Selling Stockholders that you have so
arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company and the Selling
Stockholders notify you that they have so arranged for the purchase of such
Shares, you or the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to
postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in
order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or
arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be
made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include
any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person
had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and
the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above,
the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed
one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such
Time of Delivery, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the
right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of
shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of
Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to
purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such
Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but
nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its
default.
-7-
<PAGE> 8
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and
the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above,
the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds
one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such
Time of Delivery, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not
exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting
Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters,
then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the
Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except
for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Selling Stockholders and the
Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and contribution
agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting
Underwriter from liability for its default.
10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties
and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the several
Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them,
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof)
made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any
Underwriter, or the Company or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer
or director or controlling person of the Company or any controlling person of
any Selling Stockholders, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the
Shares.
11. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof,
neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall then be under any
liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8
hereof; but, if for any other reason, any Shares are not delivered by or on
behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided herein, the
Company will reimburse the Underwriters through GSI for all out-of-pocket
expenses approved in writing by GSI, including fees and disbursements of
counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the
purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the Company and
the Selling Stockholders shall then be under no further liability to any
Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so delivered except as provided in
Sections 6 and 8 hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, if this Agreement shall
be terminated for any reason, the Underwriters shall have no liability to the
Company or the Selling Stockholders under the last sentence of Section 6 hereof.
12. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the
Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any
statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or
given by you jointly or by GSI on behalf of you as the representatives of the
Underwriters; and in all dealings with any Selling Stockholder hereunder, you
and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request,
notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling Stockholder made or given by any
or all of the Attorneys-in-Fact for such Selling Stockholder.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the Underwriters in care of GSI, Peterborough Court,
133 Fleet Street, London EC4A 2BB, England, Attention: Equity Capital Markets,
Telex No. 94012165, facsimile transmission No. (071) 774-1550; if to any Selling
Stockholder shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission
to counsel for such Selling Stockholder at its address set forth in Schedule II
hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the
Registration Statement,

Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter
pursuant to Section 8(d) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its
Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which
address will be supplied to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by GSI upon
request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect
upon receipt thereof.
13. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the
benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders and, to
the extent provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of
the Company and each person who controls the Company, any Selling Stockholder or
any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right
under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any
Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such
purchase.
14. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America.
16. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties
hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign
and return to us eight (8) counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof
by you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance
hereof shall constitute a binding agreement among each of the Underwriters, the
Company and each of the Selling Stockholders. It is understood that your
acceptance of this letter on behalf of each of the Underwriters is pursuant to
the authority set forth in a form of Agreement among Underwriters (International
Version), the form of which shall be furnished to the Company and the Selling
Stockholders for examination upon request, but without warranty on your part as
to the authority of the signers thereof.
Any person executing and delivering this Agreement as Attorney-in-Fact
for a Selling Stockholder represents by so doing that he has been duly appointed
as Attorney-in-Fact by such Selling Stockholder pursuant to a validly existing
and binding Power of Attorney which authorizes such Attorney-in-Fact to take
such action.
Very truly yours,
