SECURITY SYSTEMS
1,700,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND
1,700,000 REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
This Prospectus relates to an offering (the "Offering") by Ensec
International, Inc. (the "Company") of 1,700,000 shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), and 1,700,000 redeemable Common
Stock purchase warrants (the "Redeemable Warrants") (sometimes hereinafter
referred to as the "Securities") through Rickel & Associates, Inc. (the
"Representative") and Janssen-Meyers Associates, L.P. ("JMA") (each an
"Underwriter" and, collectively, the "Underwriters"). The shares of Common
Stock and the Redeemable Warrants offered hereby may be purchased separately
and will be transferable separately immediately after issuance. The Common
Stock is being offered at a range of $6.00 to $6.50 per share and the
Redeemable Warrants at $.10 per Warrant.
Each Redeemable Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase
one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, subject to
adjustment in certain events, at any time commencing 12 months after the date
of this Prospectus (or earlier with the prior written consent of the
Representative) and expiring on the fifth anniversary of the date of this
Prospectus. The Redeemable Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at
$.10 per Redeemable Warrant at any time commencing 12 months after the date of
this Prospectus (or earlier with the prior written consent of the
Representative), on not less than 30 days prior written notice to the holders
of the Redeemable Warrants, provided the average closing bid quotation of the
Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq-SCM"), if
traded thereon, or if not traded thereon, the average closing bid quotation of
the Common Stock if listed on a national securities exchange (or other
reporting system that provides last sale prices), has been at least 150% of the
then current exercise price of the Redeemable Warrants (initially, $10.50 per
share), for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third day
prior to the date on which the Company gives notice of redemption. The
Redeemable Warrants will be exercisable until the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption. See "Description of
Securities--Redeemable Warrants."
The Company has applied for quotation of the Common Stock and the Redeemable
Warrants on Nasdaq-SCM under the trading symbols "ENSC" and "ENSCW,"
respectively. The Company has also applied for listing of the Common Stock and
the Redeemable Warrants on the Boston Stock Exchange under the trading symbols
"NCS" and "NCSW," respectively.
Concurrently with this Offering, the Company has registered the offering of
250,000 shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), on behalf of certain persons (the "Bridge Investors")
pursuant to a Bridge Investors Prospectus included within the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The Bridge Investors' shares
are not part of this Offering, however, and may not be sold prior to the
expiration of 12 months after the date of this Prospectus without the prior
written consent of the Representative. The Company will not receive any of the
proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Bridge Investors. See "Concurrent
Registration of Common Stock."
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK. ONLY INVESTORS WHO CAN BEAR THE RISK OF LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT
SHOULD INVEST. FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISKS REGARDING AN INVESTMENT IN

Warrants, and (iii) to the Representative, a financial consulting
agreement with the Representative for 12 months from the closing of the
Offering at an annual fee of $30,000, all of which is payable at the
closing of the Offering. The Company has agreed to pay to the
Representative, under certain circumstances, a Redeemable Warrant
solicitation fee of 5% of the exercise price for each Redeemable Warrant
exercised. The Company has also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters
against certain civil liabilities, including those arising under the
Securities Act. See "Underwriting."
(2) After deducting discounts and commissions payable to the Underwriters, but
before payment of the Representative non-accountable expense allowance
($323,850, or $358,365 if the Underwriters' Over- allotment Option (as
defined below) is exercised in full), the other expenses of the Offering
payable by the Company (estimated at $375,000, or $360,840 if the
Underwriters' Over-allotment Option is exercised in full) and the
consulting fee ($30,000). See "Underwriting."
(3) Represents the average of the range of the estimated initial public

(4) The Company and the Selling Stockholder (as defined herein) have granted

or the Redeemable Warrants, and there can be no assurance that any such market
for the Common Stock or the Redeemable Warrants will develop after the closing
of the Offering or that, if developed, it will be sustained. The offering
price of the Common Stock and the Redeemable Warrants and the initial exercise
price and other terms of the Redeemable Warrants were established by
negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters and do not necessarily
bear any direct relationship to the Company's assets, earnings, book value per

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by more detailed
information and consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto,
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Each prospective investor is urged to
read this Prospectus in its entirety. Unless otherwise indicated, the
information in this Prospectus (i) reflects the formation of the Company and
its organization as the holding company for Ensec, S.A. and Ensec Inc. as if
such formation and organization had occurred as of the earliest date presented,
(ii) does not reflect the issuance of securities in connection with the Bridge
Financing (described below) and (iii) does not give effect to the exercise of
(a) the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option, (b) the Redeemable Warrants, (c)
the Underwriters' Warrants and (d) other outstanding options and warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 355,000 shares of Common Stock. The initial public
offering price per share of Common Stock is assumed to be $6.25, the average of
the estimated range of $6.00 to $6.50 per share.
THE COMPANY
The Company designs, develops, assembles, sells, installs and services
security systems for large commercial or governmental facilities, ranging from
single function installations to high-end integrated security systems. The
Company's high-end integrated systems are based on its proprietary software and
related hardware which permit multiple devices or systems to be combined into a
unified system covering multiple sites. Since its inception, the Company has
installed approximately 400 systems, nearly all of which have been in Brazil,
including systems for large corporations (such as Bosch, Caterpillar, Eastman
Kodak, General Motors, IBM, Microsoft and Texaco) and government agencies (such
as the Brazilian Bureau of Mint & Engraving and the Central Bank of Brazil).
In 1995, the Company completed the development of its second-generation
system, the EnWorks(TM) product family, consisting of state-of-the-art, real-
time, integrated security systems. The Company spent four years and over $5
million in the development of the flagship product in the EnWorks(TM) family:
the En2000(TM) system. The Company's high-end integrated security systems are
based on distributive intelligence architecture and proprietary software that
permit the integration of various security devices or systems into a unified
system operating through the use of graphical user interfaces. Distributive
intelligence architecture permits individual components of an integrated
security system to process information independently so that such components
may continue to operate even when the central processor or another component in
the system malfunctions or is rendered inoperative. In addition, an integrated
security system that uses distributive intelligence architecture can operate
more efficiently because individual components are able to complete independent
tasks simultaneously.
The Company believes that the worldwide integrated security systems market is
currently $1.5 billion and has grown at a rate of approximately 15% per annum
from 1992 to 1995. The Company began marketing its En2000 system in 1995 at
which time the Company was selected by the Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey through a competitive bid process to provide the new integrated access
control system for the parking facilities located in the World Trade Center. In
1995, the Company entered into contracts to install eight additional En2000(TM)
systems, including a contract from EDS to install the En2000(TM) in EDS's
corporate headquarters in Plano, Texas. During the first six months of 1996,
the Company entered into contracts to install seven En2000(TM) systems. In
addition, the Company currently has 56 service and maintenance contracts with
customers who have purchased Company products, covering 151 installations.
Other examples of the Company's completed projects involving prior versions of
the Company's systems include: (i) an integrated security system for the
Brazilian Bureau of Mint & Engraving; (ii) an access control, time and
attendance, closed-circuit television ("CCTV") and fleet management system for
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, a large Brazilian iron ore mining company with over
65,000 employees; and (iii) a postal tracking and tracing system for the
Brazilian Postal Service.
1
<PAGE>
The Company's systems have the ability to integrate and enable communication
between disparate subsystems including the following functions based on a
customer's specific needs:
. Access Control . Time and Attendance . Facilities Management
. Alarm Monitoring . Guard Tours . Parking Facility Control
. Data Security . Restaurant Revenue Reporting . CCTV
. Vehicle Tracking . Elevator Control . Video Badging
The Company's business strategy is based on three objectives which the
Company believes will allow it to better serve each of its geographic markets:
(i) Expand the Company's focus from operations and a customer base located
primarily in Brazil to a Company with an international scope and an
emphasis on the marketing in the United States of high-end integrated
security systems, which the Company believes enjoy the greatest
opportunities in the U.S. The Company recently relocated certain key
executives to the United States and is currently relocating its
research and development and finance personnel from Brazil to the
United States.
(ii) Focus Brazilian marketing efforts primarily on the sale and service of
less complex security systems such as single component installations
and alarm monitoring. The Company believes the developing economy of
Brazil will provide a greater number of potential customers for these
types of systems rather than for its high-end integrated security
systems, due to the finite number of commercial, governmental and
similar facilities suited for high-end integrated systems and the
number of prior installations by the Company of its security systems
in such facilities. Pursuant to this strategy, the Company is
implementing a downsizing plan in Brazil that includes the following
steps:
. Sale of the Company's Brazilian currency sorting division in 1995,
which was not related to the Company's security system business.
. Establishment of relationships with value-added resellers to market
the Company's products to the mid- and low-end market segments in
Brazil.
. Cumulative reduction of the Brazilian workforce by approximately 85%, a
proposed sale of some or all of the Company's facilities as a result
of such workforce reduction, and the sale of the currency sorting
equipment division, all of which are consistent with the Company's
reliance on value-added resellers as opposed to in-house sales
personnel.
(iii) Enter into alliances with strategic partners for marketing the
Company's products in the U.S. and internationally. To facilitate
this expansion into the U.S. market, the Company has entered into the
following strategic alliances:
. Agreement with Electronic Data Systems, Inc. ("EDS") whereby EDS
will promote and sell the Company's products for a term of three
years (subject to renewals).
. Agreement with Lockheed Martin IMS ("Lockheed Martin") whereby the
Company and Lockheed Martin will seek (for a term of five years,
subject to renewal) to identify specific projects for integrated
security systems to be pursued through a teaming arrangement between

Pursuant to a Share Deposit Agreement between the Representative and Charles
N. Finkel, the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and beneficial
owner of all shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Offering, Mr. Finkel agreed with the Representative not to offer, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of all shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by him for a period of 24 months after the date of this
Prospectus, without the Representative's consent. In addition, Mr. Finkel has
agreed with the Representative not to offer, sell, contract to sell or
otherwise dispose of 800,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him
for a period of ten years after the date of this Prospectus, without the
Representative's consent; provided, however, that such restrictions will be
released with respect to 500,000 of such shares if the Company reports income
before income taxes in excess of $4,000,000 in fiscal 1997 and with respect to
the remaining 300,000 shares if the Company reports income before income taxes
in excess of $7,000,000 in fiscal 1998. The Representative may, in its sole
discretion, and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the
shares owned by Mr. Finkel from such restrictions. See "Shares Eligible for
Future Sale."
In May 1996, the Company concluded a private placement of an aggregate of (i)
$2,500,000 of 10% senior subordinated notes (the "Bridge Financing"), and (ii)
warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of
$.10 per share (the "Bridge Warrants") which are mandatorily exercisable upon
the consummation of the sale of the securities in this Offering, to certain
persons ("Bridge Investors"). The Company received net cash proceeds from the
Bridge Financing of approximately $2,216,000 after giving effect to commissions
and expenses, which proceeds were used primarily for debt repayment in Brazil
and general working capital purposes.
The Company, a Florida corporation, was formed in April 1996 as a holding
company for Ensec Inc., a Florida corporation ("Ensec Inc."), and Ensec
Engenharia e Sistemas de Seguranca, S.A., a Brazilian corporation ("Ensec,
S.A."). Ensec, S.A. was founded in 1983 by Charles N. Finkel, the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer. In 1991, Ensec, S.A. established its
U.S. operations with the formation of Ensec Inc. The Company's principal
administrative offices are located in Boca Raton, Florida and Sao Paulo,
Brazil. The Company maintains a regional sales office in New York City. The
Company's principal executive offices are located at 751 Park of Commerce
Drive, Suite 104, Boca Raton, Florida 33487, telephone number (561) 997-2511.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to the
"Company" shall include the Company, Ensec Inc. and Ensec, S.A.

(1) Net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding for each period. For purposes of
computing net loss per share, options, warrants and Common Stock granted or
issued by the Company during the 12-month period preceding the date of the
Offering at a price below the anticipated Offering Price to Public of $6.25
per share have been included in the determination of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.
(2) The supplemental pro forma net loss and net loss per share reflect the
issuance of shares necessary to retire the estimated average notes payable
outstanding during 1995 and the resulting decrease in net loss in the
amount of $1,013,000 for the year ended 1995, as of the beginning of the
period presented. The calculation is based on the weighted average shares
outstanding used in the calculation of earnings per share, adjusted for the
number of estimated shares that would be issued by the Company, i.e.,
288,480 shares at $6.25 per share, to retire these obligations. See Note A
in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

<PAGE>
(3) The supplemental pro forma net loss and net loss per share reflect the
issuance of shares necessary to retire the estimated average notes payable
outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the senior
subordinated notes issued in the Bridge Financing and the resulting
decrease in net loss in the amount of $790,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, as of the beginning of the period presented. The calculation
is based on the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation
of earnings per share, adjusted for the number of estimated shares that
would be issued by the Company, i.e., 758,400 shares at $6.25 per share, to
retire these obligations. See Note A in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
(4) Pro forma financial information gives effect to loans aggregating $500,000
from the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a Brazilian bank in July
1996. These loans are expected to be repaid from the proceeds of this
Offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
(5) Adjusted to reflect the sale of 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock and
1,700,000 Redeemable Warrants offered hereby and the exercise of the Bridge
Warrants. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Capitalization."
(6) Does not include up to (i) 180,000 shares of Common Stock issuable by the
Company and 75,000 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Selling
Stockholder upon exercise of the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option in
full; (ii) 1,955,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon
exercise of the Redeemable Warrants, including those issuable upon exercise
of the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option in full; (iii) 340,000 shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Underwriters'
Warrants and the Redeemable Warrants included therein; and (iv) 450,000
shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the
Plan. See "Management--1996 Stock Option Plan," "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions," and "Underwriting."
(7) After giving effect to (i) the Underwriters' discount ($971,550); (ii) the
Representative's non-accountable expense allowance ($323,850); and (iii) an
estimated $375,000 of other fees and expenses incurred in connection with
this Offering, including printing, professional and other miscellaneous
fees.
(8) Adjusted for the unamortized portion of deferred financing costs and
discount on the Bridge Financing of $167,902 and $620,700, respectively,
which will be recognized as interest expense upon the repayment thereof.

RISK FACTORS
The purchase of Common Stock and/or Redeemable Warrants offered hereby is
speculative and involves a high degree of risk including, but not necessarily
limited to, the risk factors described below. Common Stock or Redeemable
Warrants should not be purchased by investors who cannot afford the loss of
their entire investment. Prospective investors should carefully review and
consider the following risks as well as the other information contained in
this Prospectus.
1. ACCUMULATED DEFICIT; ANTICIPATED FUTURE LOSSES. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995, the Company experienced a net loss of $3,818,000, and as of
June 30, 1996 had an accumulated deficit of $3,977,000. The Company
anticipates continued losses for the foreseeable future. The Company's
operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties.
The Company anticipates significant expenses in its foreseeable future,
including research and development expenses, marketing costs and general
administrative expenses. As part of the Company's efforts to move its
executive, financial and research and development activities to the U.S. and
to limit activities in Brazil to sales and service of less complex security
systems, the Company anticipates reducing its work force in Brazil by
approximately 50% over the next 12 months. Under the terms of a collective
bargaining agreement and Brazilian law, such reduction will cause the Company
to incur approximately $350,000 of severance and related expenses during such
period, of which approximately $250,000 will be recognized in the third and
fourth quarters of 1996. Because the Company anticipates incurring significant
expenses in connection with the continued development and marketing of its
products, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve sufficient
additional revenues to offset anticipated operating costs. Inasmuch as the
Company will continue to have high levels of operating expenses and will be
required to make significant expenditures in connection with its continued
research and development activities, the Company may experience significant
operating losses that could continue until such time, if ever, that the
Company is able to generate sufficient additional revenues to support its
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company's technology and
products will be able to compete successfully in the marketplace and/or
generate significant revenue. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
2. WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIT; BANKING RELATIONSHIPS. The Company's capital
requirements in connection with its development and marketing activities will
continue to be significant. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a working
capital deficit of $4,754,000. While the application of the anticipated net
proceeds from this Offering will eliminate such working capital deficit, the
Company has no current arrangements with respect to sources of additional
financing. The Company maintains various credit facilities with a number of
Brazilian banks, and relies in large part on those credit facilities for its
current working capital. All of the Company's borrowings with respect to its
working capital credit facilities are of a short term nature. Most, but not
all, of the Company's lenders have in the past renewed the credit facilities
on a regular basis on substantially similar terms and conditions as existing
credit facilities. There can be no assurance that the Company's lenders will
renew the Company's credit facilities under any conditions. To the extent
certain existing lenders may determine not to renew or may determine to reduce
any line of credit extended to the Company, management believes that
subsequent to consummation of the Offering, lines of credit with other banks
can be negotiated to replace any lost credit availability. However, there can
be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain additional
financing, when needed, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations."
3. DEPENDENCE ON SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS. Although the
composition of the Company's largest customers has changed from year to year,
historically the Company's revenues have been materially dependent on a
limited number of customers. The number of customers accounting for five
percent or more of the Company's revenues was 17 in 1994 and 15 in 1995. See
Note A in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. While management expects
the Company's customer base to continue to expand, a limited number of large
orders may continue to account for a significant portion of the Company's
sales during any given period for the foreseeable future. As such, the
Company's financial condition and results of operations may be adversely
affected by a delay, reduction or cancellation of orders from one or more of
its significant customers or the loss of one or more of such customers.
8
<PAGE>
The Company currently relies on a limited number of suppliers of components
and other parts for its security systems. Failure or delay by the Company's
suppliers in fulfilling its anticipated needs would adversely affect the
Company's ability to deliver and market its products. The Company may have
difficulty in obtaining alternative contractual agreements with the suppliers
of such materials due to, among other things, possible material shortages or
possible lack of adequate purchasing power. However, management believes that
the Company's component and parts needs are available from multiple sources.
4. PRODUCT CONCENTRATION. Sales of the EnWorks(TM) family of products and
enhancements represented 84.9% of Company revenues from continuing operations
in 1995 and are expected to continue to account for a substantial portion of
the Company's revenues for the foreseeable future. The remaining revenues were
generated from sales of other products and service. Any factors materially
adversely affecting the Company's EnWorks(TM) family of products, such as the
introduction of superior competitive products or shifts in the needs of the
marketplace, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations. See "Business--Products and Services."
5. EVOLVING MARKET; NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT; TECHNOLOGICAL OBSOLESCENCE. The
markets for the Company's products are characterized by evolving industry
requirements which may result in product or technology obsolescence. As a
result, certain companies may be developing technologies or products of which
the Company is unaware which may be functionally similar, or superior, to some
or all of those offered by the Company. As a result of all of the above, the
ability of the Company to compete will depend on its ability to adapt, enhance
and improve its existing products and technology and, if necessary, to develop
and introduce to the marketplace in a timely and cost-competitive manner new
products and technology. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete successfully, that its competitors or future competitors will
not develop technologies or products that render the Company's products and
technology obsolete or less marketable or that the Company will be able to
successfully enhance its products or technology or adapt them satisfactorily.
See "Business--Integrated Security Systems."
New product development efforts are subject to all of the risks inherent in
the development of new technology and products (including unanticipated
delays, expenses, technical problems or difficulties, as well as the possible
insufficiency of funding to complete development). There can be no assurance
as to when, or whether, new products will be successfully developed. No
assurance can be given that additional technologies and prototypes can be
developed within a reasonable development schedule, if at all. There can be no
assurance that the Company would have sufficient economic or human resources
to complete such development in a timely manner, or at all, or that it could
enter into economically reasonable arrangements for the completion of such
products by third parties.
Following the completion of additional products, the Company must
successfully complete a testing program for the products before they can be
marketed. Although management believes that its testing program is highly
sophisticated, unforeseen technical problems arising out of such testing could
significantly and adversely affect the Company's ability to manufacture and
market a commercially acceptable version. In addition, the Company's success
will depend upon its current and proposed technologies and products meeting
acceptable cost and performance criteria in the marketplace. There can be no
assurance the technologies and products will meet applicable price or
performance objectives or that unanticipated technical or other problems will
not occur which would result in increased costs or material delays. Also,
there can be no assurance that new technologies will not be developed in the
near future by the Company or its competitors which would render the Company's
present software obsolete, and thus would negatively impact capitalized
software costs.
6. PRODUCT PROTECTION AND INFRINGEMENT. The Company relies on a combination
of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, together with non-
disclosure agreements, to establish and protect proprietary rights in its
EnWorks(TM) products. These measures afford limited protection, and there can
be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect these
proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its
technology or the independent development by others of similar technology. In
addition, the laws of Brazil, where the Company maintains its patents and
copyrights, and has pending patent applications, do not protect the
9
<PAGE>
Company's proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United
States. The Company intends to seek copyright protection under United States
law with respect to some of its technology. While the Company believes that it
would be impractical and not cost-effective for anyone to attempt to copy
complex software and controlling hardware such as that used in the EnWorks(TM)
products, unauthorized parties, nevertheless, might attempt to copy aspects of
the Company's products or to obtain and use information that the Company
regards as proprietary. The cost of enforcement by the Company of its
information rights could be significant, regardless of the outcome of such
enforcement proceedings. In addition, although the Company believes that there
are no infringement claims against the company and no grounds for the
assertion of such claims, the cost of responding to any such assertion, should
be it made, could be significant. See "Business--Intellectual Property
Rights."
7. COMPETITION. The Company's products compete with those of numerous well-
established companies, such as Sensormatic, Casi-Rusco, The Pittston Brinks
Group, ADT, Diebold, Pittway, Inc., Johnson Controls and Honeywell, among
others, which design, manufacture or market integrated security systems or
other security products. Many of these companies have substantially greater
financial, technical, personnel and other resources than the Company and have
established reputations for success in the development, licensing, sale and
service of their products and technology. Certain of these competitors have
the financial resources necessary to enable them to withstand substantial
price competition or downturns in the market for integrated security systems
and related products. In addition, many of the Company's sales of its products
are anticipated to be through the competitive bid process. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be awarded contracts or purchase orders for
its products as a result of such bid process. See "Business--Products and
Services" and "Business--Competition."
8. NEW MANAGEMENT; DEPENDENCE ON CHARLES N. FINKEL; RETENTION OF KEY
PERSONNEL. The Company's executive management team has worked together for
only a brief period, with three of the Company's executive officers joining
the Company since late 1995. The Company's operations are materially dependent
upon the services of Charles N. Finkel, its founder, President and Chief
Executive Officer. The loss of the services of Mr. Finkel would materially and
adversely affect the Company's business. The Company is in the process of
obtaining term insurance on the life of Mr. Finkel which would provide for a
death benefit to the Company of $2,000,000. The Company has entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Finkel, which includes non-competition
provisions. The success of the Company is also dependent upon its ability to
hire and retain additional qualified executive, technical and marketing
personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will retain the members
of its current management or that it will successfully attract and retain
qualified management, engineering and sales personnel in the future. See
"Management."
9. CHALLENGES OF GROWTH. The Company anticipates a period of rapid growth
that is expected to place a strain on the Company's administrative, financial
and operational resources. The Company's ability to manage any staff and
facilities growth effectively will require it to continue to improve its
operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and
procedures, to install new management information and control systems and to
train, motivate and manage its employees. There can be no assurance that the
Company will install such management information and control systems in an
efficient and timely manner or that the new systems will be adequate to
support the Company's operations. Because of the complexity of its products,
the Company has in the past experienced and expects in the future to
experience a time lag between the date on which technical and sales personnel
are hired and the time at which such persons become fully productive. In
addition, the success of a customer's project could be substantially affected
by the quality of the Company's post-sales implementation process and, in many
cases, its maintenance and service capabilities. If the Company is unable to
hire, train and retain qualified systems engineers and consultants to
implement these services or is unable to manage the post-sales process
effectively, its ability to attract repeat sales or provide references could
be adversely affected, which could limit the Company's growth opportunities.
If the Company's management is unable to manage growth effectively, such as if
the Company's sales and marketing efforts exceed its capacity to install,
maintain and service its products or if new employees are unable to achieve
performance levels, the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition could be adversely affected. In addition, the Company could
experience significant delays or unforeseen costs in the transition of its
technology and research and development activities from Brazil to the U.S.
which delays or costs could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
prospects or results of operations.
10
<PAGE>
10. INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION. The Company intends to expand its operations
into additional international markets which will require significant
management attention and financial resources. There can be no assurance that
the Company's efforts to develop international sales and support channels will
be successful. International sales are subject to a number of risks, including
potentially longer payment cycles, unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements, import and export restrictions and tariffs, difficulties in
staffing and managing foreign operations, the burden of complying with a
variety of foreign laws, greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection,
potentially adverse tax consequences, currency fluctuations and potential
political and economic instability. Additionally, the protection of
intellectual property may be more difficult to enforce outside of the United
States. In the event that the Company is successful in expanding its
international operations, the imposition of exchange or price controls or
other restrictions on foreign currencies could materially affect the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.
11. CONTROL OF THE COMPANY. Immediately following the Offering, Charles N.
Finkel will control the vote of approximately 64.2% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock (without giving effect to the possible exercise of the
Underwriters' Over-allotment Option, the Underwriters' Warrants, the
Redeemable Warrants or options granted under the Plan), which, among other
things, will allow Mr. Finkel to elect the entire class of directors to be
elected from time to time. Such concentration of ownership could limit the
price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares
of the Company's Common Stock, and could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from
attempting to acquire control of the Company. See "Principal and Selling
Stockholders."
12. BROAD DISCRETION IN APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Approximately $2,543,600
(27.8%) of the estimated net proceeds of this Offering have been allocated to
working capital and general corporate purposes. Accordingly, the Company will
have broad discretion as to the application of such proceeds. See "Use of
Proceeds."
13. LENGTHY SALES CYCLE. The sale of the Company's high-end integrated
security systems typically involves a significant technical evaluation and
commitment of capital and other resources, with the attendant delays
frequently associated with customers' internal procedures to approve large
capital expenditures and to test and accept new technologies that affect key
operations. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated with the
Company's products is typically lengthy and subject to a number of significant
risks, including customers' budgetary constraints and internal acceptance
reviews, that are beyond the Company's control. Because of the lengthy sales
cycle and the large size of customer orders, if revenues forecasted from a
specific customer for a particular quarter are not realized in that quarter,
the Company's operating results for that quarter could be materially adversely
affected.
14. DILUTION. This Offering involves immediate dilution of $4.69 per share
(75.0% of the public offering price) between the adjusted net tangible book
value per share after the Offering and the per share public offering price of
$6.25 attributable to the Common Stock. The 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus (the "Restricted
Shares") were acquired by the holders thereof at an average cost of $1.00 per
share. The consideration paid by such stockholders is significantly less than
the per share public offering price. Accordingly, new investors will bear a
disproportionate share of the risk of loss in the event of a material adverse
change in the financial results of the Company. See "Dilution."
15. POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN BRAZIL. While the Company
intends to shift more of its operations and sales to the United States, a
significant amount of its business will continue to be based in Brazil for the
foreseeable future. The Brazilian market in which the Company operates is
characterized by volatile and frequently unfavorable economic, political and
social conditions. See Notes A and B in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. High inflation and, with it, high interest rates are common.
Inflation has declined but continues to be high in Brazil. In 1995, the per
annum inflation rate was approximately 22% in Brazil (compared to in excess of
900% in 1994). Brazil has also experienced significant currency fluctuations.
See "--Currency Fluctuations."
11
<PAGE>
Inflation adversely impacts the Company's contract revenues which are fixed
and rise more slowly than costs or are otherwise not adjusted for inflation.
Further, inflation can erode purchasing power and thereby adversely affect
sales; consequently, margins diminish if product prices fail to keep pace with
increases in supply and material costs. While the Company has been able in
most recent years to increase prices in local currency terms overall at least
as much as inflation, net sales in local currency terms may nevertheless
remain flat or decrease if, among other things, inflation diminishes
purchasing power. Although the Company expects that prices will generally keep
pace with inflation in the immediate future, there is no assurance that sales
volume will not decline or that supply and material costs will not rise more
rapidly than prices. See "--Currency Fluctuations" regarding the impact of
depreciation on net sales in dollars.
The government of Brazil has historically exercised substantial influence
over many aspects of its economy. In recent years, the government of Brazil
has implemented important measures to improve its economy, although the
current climate in Brazil may create significant uncertainty as to future
economic, fiscal and tax policies. In implementing these measures, the
Brazilian government may in the future decide to effectuate a devaluation of
the Brazilian currency, the real, which could have a material adverse impact
on the Company and its operations in Brazil.
The Brazilian government has had some success in controlling inflation,
although there can be no assurance that this will continue. In addition, in
recent years there have been allegations of government improprieties which may
have adversely affected its ability to implement a successful economic
program. Midway through 1994, the Government of Brazil launched an economic
stabilization program, the Real Plan, which improved economic conditions in
Brazil and created a new currency, the real. Inflation, which had been at
double-digit monthly rates, began to decrease, purchasing power improved and
the consumption of goods and services began to increase. Since December 1994,
however, the Brazilian real has depreciated slightly. See "--Currency
Fluctuations." The Company is not able to predict the long-term effects that
the Real Plan and related economic measures may have upon the Brazilian
economy and financial markets and the real/U.S. dollar exchange rate in
general, or upon the Company. In addition, although the inflation rate in
Brazil has declined significantly since the adoption of the Real Plan, there
can be no assurance that the Company's operations in Brazil will not be
adversely affected by renewed hyperinflation.
In view of the foregoing, potential investors should recognize that the
Company's business, earnings, asset values and prospects may be materially and
adversely affected by developments with respect to inflation, interest rates,
currency fluctuations, government policies, price and wage controls, exchange
control regulations, taxation, expropriation, social instability, and other
political, economic or diplomatic developments in or affecting Brazil.
Although the Company has been able to operate successfully in Brazil for over
12 years, it has no control over such conditions and developments, and can
provide no assurance that such conditions and developments will not adversely
affect the Company's operations or the price of or market for the offered
Securities.
16. CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS. Because the Company's consolidated cash flow from
operations is generated in material part in the currency of Brazil, the
Company is subject to the effects of fluctuations in the value of the real.
Brazil has historically experienced significant currency fluctuations relative
to the U.S. dollar. The magnitude of the recent fluctuations has diminished,
and the exchange rate of the Brazilian real was 0.85 reais (plural of real)
per U.S. dollar at December 31, 1994, compared to 0.97 reais per U.S. dollar
at December 31, 1995. Such fluctuations have generally not adversely affected
the profitability of the Company, as Brazilian revenues and substantially all
related costs of sales and expenses are incurred in the real. However, in some
cases, such fluctuations, particularly depreciations which are accompanied by
high inflation and declining purchasing power, can adversely affect sales as
well as income to the Company and its stockholders. Because the Company's
financial statements are prepared in dollars, net sales (and other financial
statement accounts, including net income) tend to increase when the rate of
inflation in each country has exceeded the rate of depreciation against the
U.S. dollar. Alternatively, net sales and other financial statement accounts
generally are adversely affected if and to the extent that the rate of
depreciation exceeds the rate of inflation in any period. In addition, when
and if dividends are distributed to the Company by Ensec, S.A., the payments
are converted from reais to U.S. dollars,
12
<PAGE>
and any future fluctuations of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar
could result in a loss of dividend income to the Company and ultimately to the
Company's stockholders.
In periods of high inflation and interest rates, borrowings denominated in
the real are more costly, while borrowings indexed to the U.S. dollar or other
foreign currencies place the risk of depreciation on the borrower. In periods
of fluctuation, dollar denominated borrowings can generate income statement
losses or charges against stockholders' equity. The Company could be further
adversely affected by a depreciation in the real if it becomes necessary to
increase dollar-denominated indebtedness in order to provide working capital,
finance capital expenditures or for other purposes. Currency translation gains
and losses may contribute to fluctuations in the Company's results of
operations. The Company has engaged in currency hedging transactions on a
limited basis and in the future may undertake currency hedging to reduce
currency exposure, although there can be no assurance that hedging
transactions, if entered into, would materially reduce the effects of
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's results of
operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations."
17. NO ANTICIPATED DIVIDENDS; RELIANCE ON SUBSIDIARIES. Payment of dividends
on the Common Stock is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will
depend upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and financial
condition, and other relevant factors. The Company does not currently intend to
declare any dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. See
"Dividends."
As a holding company, the Company's ability to pay operating expenses, any
debt service obligations and dividends materially depends upon receipt of
sufficient funds from its subsidiaries. Brazil does not currently restrict the
remittance of dividends paid by Ensec, S.A. to the Company, although Brazil has
laws in effect which provide limitations on the exchange of local currency for
foreign currency at official rates of exchange. Brazil has imposed more
restrictive exchange controls in the past, and no assurance can be given that
more restrictive exchange control policies, which could adversely affect the
ability of Ensec, S.A. to pay dividends to the Company, will not be imposed in
the future. The payment of dividends by Ensec, S.A. is also in certain
instances subject to statutory restrictions or restrictive covenants in debt
instruments and is contingent upon the earnings and cash flow of and permitted
borrowings by Ensec, S.A.
18. PRODUCT LIABILITY. The Company's products contain software that may
contain software errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when
new versions or enhancements are released. Although to date such defects and
errors have not materially adversely affected the Company's operating results,
there can be no assurance that, despite testing by the Company and by current
and potential customers, defects and errors will not be found in new products
or in new versions or enhancements of existing products. Such discovery could
result in adverse customer reaction, negative publicity regarding the Company
or its products or delay in or failure to achieve market acceptance, any of
which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition. While neither Ensec, S.A. nor Ensec
Inc. has experienced any product liability claims to date, there can be no
assurance that such claims will not be made in the future. Ensec Inc. maintains
product liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 per year and
has additional excess liability insurance in the amount of $5,000,000 for
liability in excess of its initial $1,000,000 of coverage. Ensec, S.A.
maintains no product liability insurance coverage. A successful claim against
Ensec Inc. in excess of such coverage or against Ensec, S.A. could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business."
19. NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. Prior to this
Offering, there has been no public market for the Company's Common Stock or
Redeemable Warrants. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an active
trading market will develop or be sustained subsequent to this Offering. The
initial public offering price of the Common Stock will be determined by
negotiations among the Company and the Underwriters and may not be indicative
of the prices that may prevail in the public market. The Company has applied to
have the Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants quoted on the Nasdaq-SCM and the
Boston Stock Exchange. No assurance can be given that the Common Stock and the
Redeemable Warrants will qualify for initial quotation or listing or that the
Company will continue to be able to satisfy certain specified financial tests
and market-related criteria required for continued quotation on the Nasdaq-SCM
and continued listing on the
13
<PAGE>
Boston Stock Exchange following the Offering. If the Company is unable to
satisfy such maintenance criteria in the future, the Common Stock and the
Redeemable Warrants may be delisted from trading on the Nasdaq-SCM and/or the
Boston Stock Exchange, as the case may be, and consequently an investor could
find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to
the price of, the Company's Securities and the Redeemable Warrants would no
longer be redeemable. This stock market generally, and the technology sector in
particular, have experienced and are likely in the future to experience
significant price and volume fluctuations which could adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock without regard to the significant fluctuations
in response to variations in quarterly operating results, shortfalls in sales
or earnings below analyst estimates, developments in the electronics and
security industries, stock market conditions and other factors. There can be no
assurance that the market price of the Common Stock will not experience
significant fluctuations or decline below the initial public offering price. In
addition, the Representative has agreed to serve as the Company's agent for the
solicitation of future exercises of the Redeemable Warrants. If such a
solicitation is viewed as aiding a distribution of Common Stock, the
Representative will be prohibited by applicable securities laws from making a
market in the Common Stock for the period from nine days prior to the
commencement of the future exercise solicitation activity until completion of
the Representative's participation in that distribution effort. Such an
abstention from making a market in the Company's Common Stock could adversely
affect its market price. See "Underwriting."
20. REPAYMENT OF DEBT. Approximately $5,314,000 (58.1%) of the proceeds of
this Offering will be used to repay indebtedness and related interest,
including indebtedness incurred in connection with the Bridge Financing and
$100,000 of which was borrowed from Mr. Charles N. Finkel, the President, Chief
Executive Officer and sole beneficial owner of all of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock of the Company, and accordingly such funds will not be
available to fund future growth. See "Use of Proceeds."
21. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. Upon completion of this Offering, the
Company will have outstanding 5,450,000 shares of Common Stock, after giving
effect to the 250,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Bridge Warrants but without giving effect to shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of (i) the Redeemable Warrants, (ii) the Underwriters' Warrants,
(iii) the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option, or (iv) options granted under
the Plan. Of such 5,450,000 shares of Common Stock, 1,950,000 shares,
consisting of 1,700,000 shares to be sold by the Company in this Offering plus
250,000 shares to be issued upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants (plus any
additional shares sold upon the exercise of the Underwriters' Over-allotment
Option), will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration
under the Act, except for any shares held by "affiliates" of the Company within
the meaning of the Act which shares will be subject to the resale limitations
of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. The Bridge Investors have agreed with
the Representative not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants for a period of 12
months after the date of the consummation of the Offering and exercise of the
Bridge Warrants without the written consent of the Representative.
The Restricted Shares were issued by the Company in private transactions in
reliance upon one or more exemptions contained in the Act. The Restricted
Shares are deemed to be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144
promulgated pursuant to the Act and may be publicly sold only if registered
under the Act or sold pursuant to exemptions therefrom. As of the date of this
Prospectus, all of the Restricted Shares will have been held for more than two
years and are eligible for public sale in accordance with the requirements of
Rule 144, as described below. Mr. Charles N. Finkel, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and beneficial owner of all shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Offering, however, has agreed with
the Representative not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of
any of his shares for a period of 24 months after the date of this Prospectus,
without the Representative's consent. In addition, Mr. Finkel has agreed with
the Representative not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of
800,000 of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him for a period of
ten years after the date of this Prospectus, without the Representative's
consent; provided, however, that such restrictions will be released with
respect to 500,000 of such shares if the Company reports income before income
taxes in excess of $4,000,000 for fiscal 1997 and with respect to the remaining
300,000 shares if the Company reports income before income taxes in excess of
$7,000,000 for fiscal 1998. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and
"Underwriting."

<PAGE>
22. EFFECT OF ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK UPON EXERCISE OF REDEEMABLE
WARRANTS. Immediately after the Offering, assuming full exercise of the
Underwriters' Over-allotment Option, the Company will have outstanding
Redeemable Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,125,000 shares of
Common Stock, including the Redeemable Warrants and the Redeemable Warrants
issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriters' Warrants. The Company has
agreed to use reasonable efforts to file and maintain, so long as the
Redeemable Warrants offered hereby are exercisable, a current registration
statement with the Commission relating to the Redeemable Warrants offered
hereby and the shares of Common Stock underlying such Redeemable Warrants. In
addition, the Underwriters have certain demand and "piggyback" registration
rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock and the Redeemable Warrants
underlying the Underwriters' Warrants (and the shares of Common Stock
underlying such Redeemable Warrants).
The exercise of such Redeemable Warrants and the sale of the underlying
shares of Common Stock (or even the potential of such exercise or sale) may
have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company's Securities.
Moreover, the terms upon which the Company will be able to obtain additional
equity capital may be adversely affected because the holders of the
outstanding Redeemable Warrants can be expected to exercise them, to the
extent they are able to, at a time when the Company would, in all likelihood,
be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to the Company
than those provided in the Redeemable Warrants. See "Description of
Securities" and "Underwriting."
23. CURRENT PROSPECTUS AND STATE REGISTRATION REQUIRED TO EXERCISE
REDEEMABLE WARRANTS. Purchasers of the Redeemable Warrants in this Offering
will not be able to exercise them unless at the time of exercise a current
prospectus under the Act, covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Redeemable Warrants is effective and such shares have been
qualified or are exempt from qualification under the applicable securities or
"blue sky" laws of the states in which the various holders of the Redeemable
Warrants then reside. Although the Company has undertaken to use reasonable
efforts to maintain the effectiveness of a current prospectus covering the
Common Stock underlying the Redeemable Warrants, no assurance can be given
that the Company will be able to do so. The value of the Redeemable Warrants
may be greatly reduced if a current prospectus covering the Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Redeemable Warrants is not kept effective or
if such Common Stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the
states in which the holders of the Redeemable Warrants then reside. See
"Description of Securities--Redeemable Warrants."
24. ADVERSE EFFECT OF POSSIBLE REDEMPTION OF REDEEMABLE WARRANTS. The
Redeemable Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at a price of
$.10 per Redeemable Warrant, commencing on the date 12 months from the date of
this Prospectus (or earlier with the prior written consent of the
Representative) on at least 30 days written notice, if the average closing
price of the common Stock equals or exceeds $10.50 for 20 consecutive trading
days ending on the third day prior to the notice of redemption. If the
Redeemable Warrants are redeemed, holders of the Redeemable Warrants will lose
their right to exercise the Redeemable Warrants, except during such 30-day
notice of redemption period. Upon the receipt of a notice of redemption of the
Redeemable Warrants, the holders thereof would be required to (i) exercise the
Redeemable Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be
disadvantageous for them to do so; (ii) sell the Redeemable Warrants at the
then market price, if any, when they might otherwise wish to hold the
Redeemable Warrants; or (iii) accept the redemption price, which is likely to
be substantially less than the market value of the Redeemable Warrants at the
time of redemption. See "Description of Securities--Redeemable Warrants."
25. TAX LOSS CARRYFORWARDS. At December 31, 1995, the Company had available
unused net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") aggregating approximately
$3,617,000 to offset future taxable income under U.S. tax laws. Under Section
382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), utilization
of prior NOLs is limited after an ownership change, as defined in such Section
382, to an amount equal to the value of the loss corporation's outstanding
stock immediately before the date of the ownership change, multiplied by the
Federal long-term tax-exempt rate in effect during the month that the
ownership change occurred. Upon the consummation of the Offering, the Company
may be subject to limitations on the use of its NOLs as provided under Section
382. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a significant amount of the
Company's existing NOLs will be available to the Company following the
Offering. In the event that the Company achieves profitability, as to which
there can be no assurance, such limitation would have the effect of increasing
the Company tax liability and reducing the net income and available cash
resources of the Company in the future.
15
<PAGE>
26. LIMITATIONS ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY. Florida law provides that a director
of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
with certain exceptions. These provisions may discourage stockholders from
bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce
the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by stockholders on behalf of
the Company against a director. In addition, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation (the "Articles") provide for mandatory indemnification of
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted or not prohibited by
Florida law. See "Description of Securities--Limited Liability and
Indemnification."
27. DIFFICULTY OF EFFECTING SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS
ON DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Service of process upon certain of the directors
and officers of the Company, some of whom reside outside the United States,
may be difficult to effect within the United States. Furthermore, since a
substantial portion of the Company's assets are located in Brazil, any
judgment obtained in the United States against the Company may not be
enforceable within the United States. Brazilian courts may enforce United
States final executory judgments for liquidated amounts in civil matters
obtained after due trial before a court of competent jurisdiction; however,
there can be no assurance that a Brazilian court will be required to enforce a
final judgment obtained in a court located in the United States.
28. FACTORS INHIBITING TAKEOVER. Certain provisions of the Articles and
Bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects and may delay, defer or
prevent a takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best
interest. The Company's Articles authorize the Board to determine the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of unissued series of preferred
stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock") and to fix the number
of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and the designation of any such
series, without any vote or action by the Company's stockholders. Thus, the
Board can authorize and issue shares of Preferred Stock with voting or
conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting or other rights of
holders of the Company's Common Stock. In addition, the issuance of Preferred
Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of
control of the Company, since the terms of the Preferred Stock that might be
issued could potentially prohibit the Company's consummation of any merger,
reorganization, sale of substantially all of its assets, liquidation or other
extraordinary corporate transaction without the approval of the holders of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Other provisions of the Company's
Articles and Bylaws (i) divide the Company's Board of Directors into three
classes, each of which will serve for different three-year periods; (ii)
provide that the stockholders may not take action by written consent, but only
at duly called annual or special meetings of stockholders; and (iii) establish
certain advance notice procedures for nomination of candidates for election as
directors and for stockholder proposals to be considered at annual
stockholders' meetings. In addition, certain provisions of the Florida
Business Corporation Act (the "FBCA") may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company. See "Description
of Securities--Florida Law and Certain Articles of Incorporation and Bylaw
Provisions."
29. PENNY STOCK REGULATION. The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock
Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for
penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock.
Commission regulations generally define a penny stock to be an equity security
that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the
delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure
schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
In addition, if the Company's securities do not meet an exception to the
penny stock regulations cited above, trading in the Company's securities would
be covered by Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act for non-NASDAQ and
non-national securities exchange listed securities. Under such rule,
broker/dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability
determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement
to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if the
market price is at least $5.00 per share.
If the Company's securities become subject to the regulations applicable to
penny stocks, the market liquidity for the Company's securities could be
adversely affected. In such event, the regulations on penny stocks could limit
the ability of broker/dealers to sell the Company's securities and thus the
ability of purchasers of the Company's securities to sell their securities in
the secondary market.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Common Stock and
Redeemable Warrants offered hereby and from the exercise of the Bridge
Warrants are estimated to be $9,149,600 ($10,176,200 if the Underwriters'
Over-allotment Option is exercised in full), after deducting the underwriting
discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company
will not receive any of the proceeds from any sale of shares by the Bridge
Investors or by the Selling Stockholder if the Underwriters' Over-allotment
Option is exercised. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders" and "Concurrent
Registration of Common Stock."
The Company expects to use the net proceeds (assuming no exercise of the
Underwriters' Over-allotment Option) during the next 12 months as follows:

(1) Represents the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of
$2,500,000, plus estimated accrued interest thereon at the rate of 10% per
annum to the date of consummation of this Offering, on indebtedness
incurred in the Bridge Financing. The Notes require that $25,000 of the
repayment proceeds be used to exercise the Bridge Warrants. The net
proceeds of the Bridge Financing, approximately $2,216,000, were used to
retire approximately $577,000 of principal outstanding under short-term
notes payable by the Company to four Brazilian financial institutions
which bore interest at rates of approximately 4% to 5% per month, and to
retire approximately $160,000 of principal and accrued interest
outstanding under long-term indebtedness owed by the Company to two
Brazilian financial institutions bearing interest at rates 12% per annum.
The remaining net proceeds from the Bridge Financing were used to repay an
$80,000 non-interest bearing loan from Mr. Finkel to the Company and for
working capital and other general corporate purposes.
(2) Represents the repayment of approximately $2,640,000 of outstanding
principal balance on short-term notes anticipated to be outstanding as of
the consummation of the Offering due to five Brazilian banks. The
Company's Chief Executive Officer has pledged $400,000 as a guarantee for
a loan in the amount of $400,000 included in this outstanding principal
balance. These notes currently bear interest at rates of approximately 4%
to 5% per month.
(3) Represents the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of $100,000
on a short-term loan which bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum from
Charles N. Finkel, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, to the Company
on July 19, 1996.
(4) Includes the anticipated costs of adding research and development
personnel and the costs of continued enhancement to current products and
new product development.
(5) Represents dividends payable by Ensec, S.A. to its former parent company,
Tecpo Comercio E Representaceos Ltda., a Brazilian limited liability
company ("Tecpo"), indirectly wholly-owned by Charles N. Finkel, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which dividends were
attributable to net income of Ensec, S.A. in fiscal year 1992 and prior
periods.
(6) Includes an anticipated amount of $350,000 to satisfy termination benefits
anticipated to be incurred by the Company in connection with the
downsizing of its Brazilian operations.
----------------
If the Underwriters exercise their Over-allotment Option in full, the
Company will realize additional net proceeds of approximately $1,026,600,
which amount will be added to the Company's working capital.

<PAGE>
The Company anticipates, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions
relating to its operations, that the proceeds of this Offering will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's contemplated cash requirements for at least
12 months following the consummation of the Offering. In the event the
Company's plans change or its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate or
the proceeds of the Offering prove to be insufficient to fund operations (due
to unanticipated expenses, delays, problems or otherwise), the Company may find
it necessary or advisable to reallocate some of the proceeds within the above-
described categories or to use portion thereof for other purposes and could be
required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated.
Depending on the Company's progress in the development of its products and
technology, their acceptance by third parties, and the state of the capital
markets, the Company may also determine that it is necessary to raise
additional equity capital within the next 12 months, subject to the prior
written consent of the Representative. The Company has no current arrangements
with respect to, or sources of, additional financing and there can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company when
needed on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Any inability to obtain
additional financing when needed would have a material adverse effect on the
Company, including possibly requiring the Company to significantly curtail or
cease its operations.
Proceeds not immediately required for the purposes described above will be
invested principally in U.S. government securities and/or short-term
certificates of deposit.

DILUTION
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a net tangible book value equal to
$(151,414), or $(.04) per share. After giving effect to the sale of the
1,700,000 shares of Common Stock and the 1,700,000 Redeemable Warrants offered
by the Company pursuant to this Prospectus at an initial public offering price
of $6.25 per share and $.10 per Redeemable Warrant, the issuance of 250,000
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of the Bridge Warrants, and
application of the estimated net proceeds as set forth under "Use of
Proceeds," the pro forma net tangible book value at such date would have been
$8,496,446, or $1.56 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net
tangible book value of $1.60 per share to the existing stockholders and
immediate dilution of $4.69 per share (or 75.0% of the public offering price)
to purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby ("New Investors"). If the
initial public offering price is higher or lower, the dilution to New
Investors will be, respectively, greater or less. The following table
illustrates the dilution per share:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Amounts presented herein have generally been rounded to the nearest hundred
thousand dollars and the related dollar and percentage fluctuations are
calculated based on such rounding.
OVERVIEW
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sales and installation of
its security systems and service of such systems. In 1994 and 1995, the
Company derived a material portion of its revenues from two sources which will
not contribute to the Company's revenues in 1996 and subsequent years: the
leasing of postal tracking and tracing equipment to a single customer pursuant
to a contract which terminated in the second fiscal quarter of 1995, and the
sale, installation, service and maintenance of currency sorting equipment
through a division which was sold in December 1995. The revenue and related
costs from the currency sorting equipment division has been classified as a
discontinued operation and is discussed separately herein. See "--Results of
Operations--First Six Months of 1996 Compared with First Six Months of 1995--
Discontinued Operations," "--Results of Operations--Fiscal Year 1995 Compared
with Fiscal Year 1994--Discontinued Operations" and Note M in Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue is recognized upon delivery and acceptance for security systems
which are not subject to significant software customization and completed
within relatively short time frames and under the percentage of completion
method for systems that require significant customization. Revenue from the
leasing of equipment and maintenance contracts is recognized as earned over
the life of the related contracts. Maintenance contracts generally provide for
initial non-cancelable terms of one to three years within a specified period
of time and automatically renew on an annual basis thereafter unless
terminated by either party within a specified period of time. "Costs of goods
sold" include costs and expenses related to system sales and to service
revenues. Costs of system sales include equipment, materials, direct
installation charges, engineering and project management, amortization of
capitalized software costs and a corporate overhead allocation. Service costs
include parts, labor and related benefits, and a corporate overhead
allocation.
The markets for the Company's products are characterized by evolving
industry requirements which may result in product or technology obsolescence.
There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully identify new
product opportunities and develop and bring new products and services to the
market in a timely manner. The Company's operating results have fluctuated and
will continue to fluctuate from period to period depending upon such factors
as the timing of significant contracts, the pricing and mix of services and
products sold by the Company, the introduction of new products by the Company
and its competitors, market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the
Company's products and services, changes in pricing policies by its
competitors, the Company's ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole or
limited source components, and the timing of the expansion of the Company's
infrastructure. See "Risk Factors--Evolving Market; New Product Development;
Technological Obsolescence."
The Company began selling its integrated security systems in 1983. In 1995,
the Company completed over four years of the development of and began
marketing its second generation of integrated security systems: the
EnWorks(TM) family of products, including the Company's flagship En2000(TM)
system. At such time, the Company began the amortization of approximately $3.6
million of capitalized software costs incurred in connection with the
development of the EnWorks(TM) family of products. These and other additional
capitalized costs will be amortized over the product's seven-year estimated
useful life.
In connection with the sale of the Company's currency sorting equipment
division and its business strategy in Brazil, the Company has been
implementing a downsizing plan. Pursuant to these efforts, the Company has
made a number of workforce reductions, which, by the end of 1996, are expected
to represent approximately 85% of the 1995 workforce. In addition, the Company
intends to sell some or all of its buildings in Brazil, among taking other
actions. The effects of these efforts have and will continue to have a
material adverse impact on the Company's operating results for 1995 and 1996.
The material costs associated with these efforts include
23
<PAGE>
employee termination expenses of $1.4 million and $.4 million for the years
ended 1995 and 1996, respectively, and the incurring of certain fixed operating
costs that will terminate when the Company's downsizing efforts are completed.
As a result of the effects of the Company's downsizing efforts, the results of
operations of the Company for the 1994 and 1995 periods and the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are in certain respects not comparable.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES AND TRANSLATION GAINS AND LOSSES
The Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company has a
substantial portion of its operations located in Brazil. Therefore, a
substantial portion of its sales are collected in Brazilian reais and a
substantial portion of the Company's expenses are incurred in Brazilian reais,
in each case rather than U.S. dollars. Although it is impossible to predict
future exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and other currencies,
it can be anticipated that, to the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens or
weakens against the Brazilian real or other currencies, a substantial portion
of the Company's reported net sales, cost of goods sold and operating expenses
will be commensurately lower or higher than they would have been with a stable
foreign currency relationship. The Company has engaged in currency hedging
transactions on a limited basis in the past and in the future may undertake
currency hedging to reduce currency exposure, although there can be no
assurance that hedging transactions, if entered into, would materially reduce
the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's
results of operations. See "Risk Factors--Currency Fluctuations" and Note B in
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company and its subsidiaries
translate into their functional currency on a monthly basis based on a
combination of the then current and historical exchange rates for the currency
in which their assets and liabilities are valued. Gains or losses arising from
these monthly translations are reflected as translation income or expense. As a
result of these monthly translations, the Company recognized a loss of $1.2
million in fiscal 1995 and a loss of $.2 million in the first six months of
1996.
Prior to 1995, Brazil has experienced a highly inflationary economy.
Accordingly, under the required temporal method of currency translation, both
current and historical exchange rates are used depending upon the nature of the
asset or liability being translated. Translation gains and losses result from
fluctuations in the assets or liabilities being translated at current rates as
well as from fluctuations in the dollar/real exchange rate itself. The Company
has experienced translation losses in 1994, 1995 and the first half of 1996
primarily as a result of the dollar strengthening against the real. In the
first half of 1995, the dollar weakened against the real, thus causing the
translation gain in such period since the Company was in a net liability
position related to the items translated at current rates.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Six Months of 1996 Compared with First Six Months of 1995
Sales. Total sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased $.3
million, or 6.9%, to $4.7 million from $4.4 million in the comparable 1995
period. Several material changes occurred in the Company's revenue mix from the
first six months of 1995 to the same period in 1996, which reflect the refocus
by the Company to its core business of sales of integrated security systems.
Sales from the leasing of postal tracking and tracing equipment and related
service revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 100%, in 1996 from 1995 as a result
of the termination of a contract with the Brazilian postal authority in the
second quarter of 1995. Security system sales revenue increased $1.4 million,
or 42%, from the first six months of 1995 to the same period in 1996. For the
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, sales generated by the Company in the
United States amounted to $1.1 million and $1.6 million, or 23.4% and 14.1%,
respectively, of the total sales for each of the respective periods.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold in the first six months of 1996
decreased $.7 million, or 20.6%, to $2.7 million from $3.4 million in the year
earlier period. While the dollar amount of cost of goods sold changed somewhat
from period to period, the mix of the cost of goods sold changed materially
from period to period due to the fact that as of the end of the first quarter
of 1996, the Company no longer received revenues from the leasing of postal
tracking and tracing equipment. In the first six months of 1995, cost of goods
sold related to the
24
<PAGE>
leasing of postal tracking and tracing equipment amounted to $.5 million,
resulting in a $.6 million, or 54.5%, gross profit on such related sales. Cost
of goods sold related to sales and service of the Company's security systems in
the first six months of 1995 was $2.9 million as compared to $2.7 million in
the comparable 1996 period. The resulting gross profit and gross profit
percentages in 1995 and 1996 were $.4 million and 11.8%, and $2.0 million and
42.8%, respectively. This substantial increase in the Company's gross profit
percentage from security system sales in 1995 to 1996 occurred primarily
through improvements in the process by which the Company bids and contracts for
systems sales which the Company believes will reduce or eliminate job costing
errors experienced in the 1995 period. This increase in gross profit percentage
occurred even after taking into account the $.3 million higher amortization
expense of the capitalized software costs in 1996 compared to 1995. No
amortization expense occurred in 1995 until July 1995. The Company believes
that the cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues from sales and service
of security systems will in future periods more closely approximate those
experienced in the first six months of 1996.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses in the first six months of 1996 decreased $.7 million,
or 20.6%, to $2.7 million in 1996 from $3.4 million in the comparable 1995
period. As described above, in the latter part of 1995 the Company reduced the
number of employees in its Brazilian operations and will continue to do so
pursuant to the Company's downsizing efforts. This resulted in a decrease of
$.6 million of payroll and related costs in the first six months of 1996
compared to the prior period. In addition, in the first six months of 1996 the
Company had temporary reductions in the number of employees at Ensec Inc.
resulting in a $.1 million reduction in payroll and related benefits.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the first six
months of 1996 increased $.2 million, or 100%, from $.2 million in 1995 to $.4
million in 1996. This increase reflected the fact that in 1995 the Company's
development efforts were focused on completing the En2000(TM) family of
products and were thus capitalized, whereas in 1996, the Company's development
efforts focused on other related products whose technological feasibility had
not been established.
Other Income and Expense. Interest income decreased $.6 million, or 96.0%, to
$24,133 in the first six months of 1996 from $.6 million in the comparable 1995
period. This decrease was attributable to a decreased amount of interest-
bearing assets. Interest expense in the first six months of 1996 increased $.2
million, or 20%, to $1.2 million from $1.0 million in the comparable 1995
period, due to increased borrowings in the amount of $3.5 million, of which
$2.5 million was incurred in May 1996 in connection with the Bridge Financing,
and the amortization of deferred financing costs also incurred in connection
therewith. Other, net (income) expense increased by $.6 million to $(15,924),
from $532,374 in the prior period. This increase was substantially attributable
to a write down of the remaining book value of certain postal tracking and
tracing equipment in connection with the termination of leases for such
equipment.
Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit in the first six months of 1996
increased by $.1 million, or 50%, to $.3 million from $.2 million in the
comparable 1995 period. This increase was primarily attributable to a decrease
in the Company's net deferred tax liability caused by increases in foreign NOLs
which were generated in fiscal year 1996.
Discontinued Operations. Because the currency sorting equipment division was
sold in December 1995, there was no discontinued operation during the six month
period ended June 30, 1996. The six month period ended June 30, 1995, resulted
in $1.4 million in sales for such period. The cost of goods sold and selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were consistent as
with the year ended 1995.
Fiscal Year 1995 Compared with Fiscal Year 1994
Sales. Total sales for 1995 and 1994 were approximately $8.5 million. During
1995, the Company's revenue from the sales of the Company's security systems
increased $3.3 million, or 82.5%, to $7.3 million from $4.0 million in 1994.
The Company's revenue from postal tracking and tracing equipment leases and
related service contracts in 1995 decreased $3.2 million, or 71.1%, to $1.3
million from $4.5 million in 1994. These variations result from a change in the
Company's revenue mix reflecting the focus in 1995 on sales of integrated
25
<PAGE>
security systems and the termination of the postal tracking and tracing
equipment lease in the second fiscal quarter of 1995. For the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, sales generated by the Company's U.S. operations
totaled $2.4 million and $.9 million, or 28.2% and 10.6%, respectively, of the
consolidated sales for each of such years.
Cost of Goods Sold. For 1995, the cost of goods sold increased $3.2 million,
or 123.1%, to $5.8 million from $2.6 million in 1994. The increase resulted
primarily from (i) a shift in the mix of revenues from postal tracking and
tracing equipment leases, which had higher gross profit percentages in 1994,
to sales of integrated security systems; (ii) $.4 million in 1995 expenses
incurred in connection with the termination of certain employees in connection
with the Company's downsizing efforts; and (iii) a reduced gross profit
percentage in 1995 from postal tracking and tracing equipment leases. The
gross profit and gross profit percentage (exclusive of the 1995 employee
termination costs) for 1994 and 1995, respectively, in each revenue category
were as follows: (i) leasing of postal tracking and tracing equipment (and
related maintenance revenues) was $3.3 million (73.3%) versus $.4 million
(32.2%); and (ii) sales of integrated security systems was $2.7 million
(67.1%) versus $2.7 million (37.1%). The reduced gross profit percentages from
integrated security system sales in 1995 resulted in part from two contracts
on which the Company experienced a combined gross loss of $.7 million. Such
loss was incurred because of job costing and estimating errors which the
Company believes have been reduced or eliminated through the implementation of
new bidding and contracting procedures.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses in 1995 increased $1.1 million, or 26.2%, to $5.3
million from $4.2 million in 1994. This increase resulted from $.6 million in
expenses attributable to administrative employee terminations in connection
with the Company's downsizing efforts, $.3 million in selling expenses $.2
million in expenses attributable to payroll and related benefits, $.1 million
in occupancy costs, $.1 million in travel and related costs, $.4 million in
professional fees and costs associated with former employee-related disputes
and a decrease in depreciation of $.6 million. The increase in expenses
attributable to payroll and related benefits occurred because the average
number of personnel employed by Ensec Inc. increased from 12 in 1994 to 17 in
1995. Occupancy costs increased due to the Company's occupancy of its New York
City sales office for the full 1995 fiscal year, as compared to occupancy for
only a portion of 1994, as well as occupancy in 1995 by the Company of a
Dallas office. Selling and professional expenses and fees increased because of
the increase in system sales and depreciation decreased substantially because
of a reduction in the Company's postal tracking and tracing equipment.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses for 1995
increased $.3 million, or 100%, from $.3 million in 1994 to $.6 million in
1995. This increase occurred due to changes in development efforts from basic
En2000(TM) work in 1994 for which the costs were capitalized compared to the
expenditures associated with development of various enhancements in 1995 which
were expensed because technological feasibility had not been established and
$.2 million of termination costs incurred in 1995 pursuant to the Company's
downsizing efforts.
Other Income and Expense. Interest income decreased $.9 million, or 56.3%,
to $.7 million in 1995 from $1.6 million in 1994. This decrease resulted from
a reduction in interest-bearing assets. Interest expense in 1995 increased
$2.0 million, or 400%, to $2.5 million in 1995 from $.5 million in 1994. This
increase resulted from a increase of $3.7 million in the Company's long-term
and short-term debt to several Brazilian financial institutions, of which $2.1
million bore compound interest at rates in excess of 5% per month.
Income Tax Expense. In 1995, income tax expense decreased $1.8 million to a
benefit of $1.4 million in 1995 from an expense of $.4 million in 1994. This
decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in the
Company's net deferred tax liability caused by increases in the federal and
foreign NOLs allowed for 1995.
Discontinued Operations. On December 7, 1995, the Company sold its currency
sorting equipment division to De La Rue Investimentos Ltda., a Brazilian
limited liability company ("De La Rue"), a minority stockholder. In exchange,
De La Rue transferred to Ensec, S.A. all of De La Rue's capital stock in
Ensec, S.A., $1.8 million in cash, and a 10% interest in a corporation owned
by De La Rue, to which the Company attributes nominal value. This transaction
resulted in the recognition by the Company of a gain of $1.0 million.

The Company's revenue from its currency sorting equipment division increased
$.3 million, or 11.5%, to $2.9 million in 1995 from $2.6 million in 1994. Cost
of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses remained
relatively constant as a percentage of sales for both years except for a $.2
million charge incurred in 1995 related to employee termination costs
associated with the Company's downsizing efforts.
CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE PERFORMANCE
Although the Company has experienced increases in revenues from sales of its
integrated security systems, including sales of the En2000(TM) system, the
Company does not believe that prior growth rates are necessarily indicative of
future operating results. In addition, the Company intends to invest
significantly in research and development of its products. As a result, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable on a quarterly or
annual basis. Due to the Company's limited operating history with respect to
the EnWorks(TM) family of integrated security systems and products, predictions
as to future operating results are difficult. Future operating results may
fluctuate due to many factors, including, but not limited to: general economic
conditions, specific economic conditions relating to the production of
integrated security systems (including software); the demand for the Company's
products; the size and timing of future orders and new contracts; specific
feature requests by customers; production delays or manufacturing
inefficiencies; management decisions to commence or discontinue product lines;
the Company's ability to design, introduce and manufacture new products on a
cost-effective and timely basis; the amount and timing of research and
development expenditures; the maintenance of present and the availability of
future strategic alliances and joint marketing or servicing agreements; the
introduction of new products and product enhancements by the Company or its
competitors; the budgeting cycle of customers; changes in the proportion of
revenues attributable to license fees and maintenance and support services;
changes in the level of operating expenses; and the present and future level of
competition in the industry.
The Company expects to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future,
including net losses at least through the end of 1996. The anticipated net loss
in the third quarter of 1996 will include the recognition of the deferred
interest expenses of approximately $.9 million anticipated to be recognized in
such quarter in connection with the repayment of the Bridge Financing from the
proceeds of this Offering.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996
amounted to $2.3 million, which resulted primarily from the Company's net loss
from operations. See "--Results of Operations--First Six Months of 1996
Compared with First Six Months of 1995." Net cash used in investing activities
for the first six months of 1996 was $.4 million, which resulted primarily from
continued investment in the development of the Company's software and hardware
products. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of
1996 was $2.7 million, which primarily resulted from the proceeds received by
the Company in connection with the Bridge Financing and increases in borrowings
under credit line agreements.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1995
amounted to $6.3 million, due primarily to losses from continuing operations
and a reduction of accounts payable. See "--Results of Operations--Fiscal Year
1995 Compared with Fiscal Year 1994." Cash flow from investing activities was
$1 million, which was due primarily to proceeds from the sale of the Company's
currency sorting equipment division and the sale of fixed assets, reduced by
the continued investment in the company's software and hardware products.
The Company had a negative working capital of $1.5 million as of December 31,
1995 and $4.8 million as of June 30, 1996. While the negative working capital
resulted in part from continued losses, it has also resulted from the Company's
substantial investment since 1992 in the development of software for the
EnWorks(TM) family of products. The capitalized software costs incurred by the
Company amounted to $1.7 million, $1.2 million, $.7 million and $.4 million for
the years ended 1994 and 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
27
<PAGE>
respectively. The Company anticipates that it will incur approximately $1.0
million of research and development expenditures in the next 12 months in
order to enhance existing products and to develop new products.
The Company has a $.3 million line of credit agreement with a commercial
bank, which line of credit will expire in September 1996. The Company has no
additional borrowings available under this line of credit. Borrowings under
the line of credit are evidenced by notes payable which bear interest at a
rate of such bank's prime rate plus 2% per annum and are secured by certain
Ensec Inc. accounts receivable. The Company obtained its long-term debt
financing from two Brazilian banks. These loans bear interest at a rate of 12%
per annum, require monthly payments of principal and interest and mature in
1998. As of June 30, 1996, the Company has $4.0 million outstanding under its
long-term notes. Short-term borrowings from several Brazilian banks as of June
30, 1996 amounted to $2.2 million, which bear interest at rates of
approximately 4% to 5% per month. The repayment of the short-term debt from
the proceeds of this Offering will result in a substantial reduction in
interest expense. In July 1996, Charles N. Finkel, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, loaned $.1 million to the Company and pledged $.4 million
in collateral as a guarantee for a short-term loan to the Company in the
amount of $.4 million. This short-term debt is to be repaid from the proceeds
of the Offering. In addition, the Company presently intends to sell or enter
into a sale/leaseback or similar arrangement with respect to certain buildings
owned by the Company located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the proceeds of which would
be used to reduce the Company's long-term debt.
The Company believes that the financing provided by the Offering should
provide funds that, together with cash flow from operations, if any, will be
sufficient to repay its Brazilian short-term debt and meet its presently
anticipated working capital, including marketing expenditures, and research
and development expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability
in the next 12 months, and the Company may need to raise additional capital in
the future, subject to the prior written consent of the Representative. As a
result of entering into employment agreements with seven of the Company's
executives in May or June 1996, the Company will incur increases in salary
expenses of $.3 million for 1996. See "Management."
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had NOL carryforwards for U.S. federal
income tax purposes of approximately $3.6 million, which begin to expire in
2006. These carryforwards result from cumulative operating losses of Ensec
Inc. since its inception in 1991. The consummation of this Offering and the
sale of the Securities may limit the Company's ability to offset such
carryforwards against U.S. taxable income in future years. The Company's NOL
carryforwards for Brazilian corporate and social contribution tax purposes
totaled $5.5 million as of December 31, 1995. There are no limitations which
affect the ability of the Company to offset these losses against future
Brazilian taxable income. See Note K in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company designs, develops, assembles, sells, installs and services
security systems for large commercial or governmental facilities, ranging from
single function installations to high-end integrated security systems. The
Company's high-end integrated systems are based on its proprietary software and
related hardware which permit multiple devices or systems to be combined into a
unified system covering multiple sites. Since its inception, the Company has
installed approximately 400 systems, nearly all of which have been in Brazil,
including systems for large corporations (such as Bosch, Caterpillar, Eastman
Kodak, General Motors, IBM, Microsoft and Texaco) and government agencies (such
as the Brazilian Bureau of Mint & Engraving and the Central Bank of Brazil).
In 1995, the Company completed the development of its second-generation
system, the EnWorks(TM) product family, consisting of state-of-the-art, real-
time, integrated security systems. The Company spent four years and over $5
million in the development of the flagship product in the EnWorks(TM) family:
the En2000(TM) system. The Company's high-end integrated security systems are
based on distributive intelligence architecture and proprietary software that
permit the integration of various security devices or systems into a unified
system operating through the use of graphical user interfaces. Distributive
intelligence architecture permits individual components of an integrated
security system to process information independently so that such components
may continue to operate even when the central processor or another component in
the system malfunctions or is rendered inoperative. In addition, an integrated
security system that uses distributive intelligence architecture can operate
more efficiently because individual components are able to complete independent
tasks simultaneously.
The Company believes that the worldwide integrated security systems market is
currently $1.5 billion and has grown at a rate of approximately 15% per annum
from 1992 to 1995. The Company began marketing its En2000 system in 1995 at
which time the Company was selected by the Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey through a competitive bid process to provide the new integrated access
control system for the parking facilities located in the World Trade Center. In
1995, the Company entered into contracts to install eight additional En2000(TM)
systems, including a contract from EDS to install the En2000(TM) in EDS's
corporate headquarters in Plano, Texas. During the first six months of 1996,
the Company entered into contracts to install seven En2000(TM) systems. In
addition, the Company currently has 56 service and maintenance contracts with
customers who have purchased Company products, covering 151 installations.
Other examples of the Company's completed projects involving prior versions of
the Company's systems include: (i) an integrated security system for the
Brazilian Bureau of Mint & Engraving; (ii) an access control, time and
attendance, closed-circuit television ("CCTV") and fleet management system for
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, a large Brazilian iron ore mining company with over
65,000 employees; and (iii) a postal tracking and tracing system for the
Brazilian Postal Service.
The Company's systems have the ability to integrate and enable communication
between disparate subsystems including the following functions based on a
customer's specific needs:
. Access Control . Time and Attendance . Facilities Management
. Alarm Monitoring . Guard Tours . Parking Facility Control
. Data Security . Restaurant Revenue Reporting . CCTV
. Vehicle Tracking . Elevator Control . Video Badging
The Company's business strategy is based on three objectives which the
Company believes will allow it to better serve each of its geographic markets:
(i) Expand the Company's focus from operations and a customer base located
primarily in Brazil to a Company with an international scope and an
emphasis on the marketing in the United States of high-end integrated
security systems, which the Company believes enjoy the greatest
opportunities in the
29
<PAGE>
U.S. The Company recently relocated certain key executives to the United
States and is currently relocating its research and development and
finance personnel from Brazil to the United States.
(ii) Focus Brazilian marketing efforts primarily on the sale and service of
less complex security systems such as single component installations
and alarm monitoring. The Company believes the developing economy of
Brazil will provide a greater number of potential customers for these
types of systems rather than for its high-end integrated security
systems, due to the finite number of commercial, governmental and
similar facilities suited for high-end integrated systems and the
number of prior installations by the Company of its security systems
in such facilities. Pursuant to this strategy, the Company is
implementing a downsizing plan in Brazil that includes the following
steps:
. Sale of the Company's Brazilian currency sorting division in 1995,
which was not related to the Company's security system business.
. Establishment of relationships with value-added resellers to market
the Company's products to the mid- and low-end market segments in
Brazil.
. Cumulative reduction of the Brazilian workforce by approximately
85% and a proposed sale of some or all of the Company's facilities
as a result of the sale of the bank currency sorting equipment
division and consistent with the Company's reliance on value-added
resellers as opposed to in-house sales personnel.
(iii) Enter into alliances with strategic partners for marketing the
Company's products in the U.S. and internationally. To facilitate
this expansion into the U.S. market, the Company has entered into the
following strategic alliances:
. Agreement with Electronic Data Systems, Inc. ("EDS") whereby EDS
will promote and sell the Company's products for a term of three
years (subject to renewals).
. Agreement with Lockheed Martin IMS ("Lockheed Martin") whereby the
Company and Lockheed Martin will seek (for a term of five years,
subject to renewal) to identify specific projects for integrated
security systems to be pursued through a teaming arrangement
between the parties.
INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEMS
Integrated security systems perform functions such as access control,
facilities management and alarm monitoring through combined subsystems and
components such as card readers, CCTV, paging devices, intercoms and
identification badges. An integrated security system generally includes a
central command and control feature that uses a single user interface and
shares data among subsystems to form a system that performs in a uniform and
cohesive fashion. Systems integration allows various subsystems to communicate
with each other so that one system, rather than many subsystems, controls a
company's or a location's security. The Company believes that, by integrating
disparate subsystems into a single system, functions are enhanced by
establishing uniform responses for certain conditions. The Company believes
that integrated systems involve fewer steps to process data, therefore
requiring less response time to perform functions.
In an integrated security system, a central processor is necessary to
integrate components and subsystems. The degrees of systems integration can
vary, ranging from subsystems interconnected through electrical wiring to
subsystems that communicate with each other via separate databases and that are
monitored through a central processor and finally to the most advanced
integrations which share the same database. For example, an integrated system
can be as simple as connecting a CCTV system to an alarm system for a small
bank branch or casino room. An integrated system can also be extremely
advanced, being built around a common database and combining identification
cards and graphical screen monitoring of access control with monitored alarms
and HVAC (heating, ventilating, air conditioning)/lighting management systems
for large corporate or government sites.
30
<PAGE>
While the initial purchase and installation of an integrated security system
often will cost more than a simple, stand alone alarm monitoring, access
control, CCTV or security guard system, the Company believes that integrated
systems justify their cost because they can result in reduced capital
expenditures and maintenance costs (due to the elimination of redundant
components or circuitry that would result from multiple stand-alone systems)
over time while improving performance. Staffing costs are also generally
reduced by integrated systems, because operators monitor multiple functions,
the complexity of several systems has been simplified into one graphical user
interface and, as a result of the simpler nature of the system, fewer
personnel are required to operate the system.
The primary function of an integrated security system is usually access
control. Conventional access control systems typically involve proprietary
mechanical devices allowing access, such as magnetic stripe card readers on
turnstiles or proximity card readers on doors. These mechanisms were sometimes
connected to a CCTV system, but usually not integrated with a larger premises
control system. Today, such mechanical access control systems are still being
installed, but the Company believes that the future growth in access control
will come from PC-based systems which are integrated with other building
systems. Access control is becoming increasingly important in the protection
of electronic data. Gaining access to a data stream, whether it be a corporate
computer network or an ATM network, involves various forms of identification
and certification. These include traditional forms such as a simple personal
identification number (PIN) or cards with magnetic stripes, but are
increasingly becoming more sophisticated, such as token cards (which allow
remote access to PIN-specific systems), remote detection cards such as ID
badges that emit radio frequencies and identification equipment based on
fingerprint or eye identification.
INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEMS MARKET
Most integrated security systems are installed as ready to use systems with
a range of options. The features and functions of integrated security systems
vary from customer to customer. High-end systems are both multi-tasking
(supporting more than one task at a time) and multi-user (supporting multiple
command centers or multiple concurrent operators). The Company believes that
the worldwide integrated security systems market is currently $1.5 billion and
has grown at a rate of approximately 15% per annum from 1992 to 1995. The
Company believes that the principal demand for products in the integrated
security systems industry will come from large companies and governmental
agencies with multiple locations, seeking new functions, greater
standardization, operational simplicity and cost effectiveness.
Historically, customers purchased security systems on a per location basis,
because security products were unable to monitor more than one location and of
the perceived need on the part of customers to take a "hands-on" approach with
respect to security issues. Security matters were often handled internally,
without outside consultants or contractors. Given the current complexities of
systems requirements, however, corporations are increasingly outsourcing some
or all of their security needs to consultants or providers such as the
Company. The Company believes that companies with more than one location in
the past required multiple systems, installations and personnel to handle the
security function, which systems had no ability to centrally monitor or
respond to information. With the advent of on-premises systems that connect
the various subsystems of a security system, coupled with graphical monitoring
equipment that no longer needs to be operated by multiple personnel, security
systems customers are now able to use fewer and more highly trained facilities
management personnel to monitor a greater number of locations. In addition,
security has become a multi-site, multi-functional decision making process
that is now typically beyond the responsibility of the local plant manager.
Large companies have indicated to the Company the need for standardization
across numerous corporate sites. Local security directors, therefore, are no
longer the only persons who make security systems purchasing decisions,
requiring the decision to be made by higher level corporate executives.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Company has established three distinct yet related sources of revenue:
Products, Service and Distribution and Procurement. As of July 31, 1996, the
Company has a current backlog of orders for systems
31
<PAGE>
sales and installations and service aggregating in excess of $2.1 million which
the Company anticipates will be filled over the next 18 months.
Products: The Company markets a variety of stand-alone and integrated
products in its EnWorks(TM) family of products, as follows:
En2000(TM) Integrated Security System
Integrated security system providing on-line (i.e., real-time) access
control/alarm monitoring and the integration and/or secondary
monitoring (i.e., monitoring-only without operational capability) of
multiple subsystems. This system, and the En1000(TM) system described
below, consist of a central processing unit running proprietary
software that is connected to a number of devices through distributive
intelligence architecture.
En1000(TM) Integrated Security System
Integrated security system providing on-line access control/alarm
monitoring with a more limited number of readers and no integration or
secondary monitoring of additional application subsystems.
Scape Security System
Offline access control system consisting of software and DC500
terminals.
DC500 Terminal
Stand alone access control/data collector.
The EnWorks(TM) family of products is designed to permit upgrades and
improvements allowing lesser- featured systems such as the Scape system to be
expanded to provide the features of the most sophisticated system offered, the
En2000(TM) system. The En2000(TM) system was designed to be expandable from its
current function (i.e., an integrated security system) to meet the new and
changing applications needs of the customer. The foundation for this approach
was established with the selection of the object-oriented analysis and design
methodology, a real time operating system, the Intel platform, and the
graphical user interface. The Company offers a number of components to expand
or enhance the En2000(TM) system including a networked access control/data
collector, a networked alarm monitoring unit, multi-site communications
capabilities and expanded databases.
Service: An important part of any systems sale is the ability of the systems
provider to train, service and maintain the system. The Company, primarily in
Brazil, has developed a service business segment to provide project management,
systems design, training, technical documentation, site surveys and audits,
installation and maintenance services.
Since the Company's installed base of systems is concentrated primarily in
Brazil, service revenues and related personnel resources are also primarily
based in Brazil, where the Company provides nationwide installation, project
management and maintenance services through trained technicians located
throughout Brazil. These services are provided pursuant to contracts which
typically have a duration of five years or more. The Company currently has 56
maintenance and service contracts covering 151 installations in Brazil. The
Company has also in the past provided maintenance services to customers and
multinational product suppliers for products and systems not sold or installed
by the Company. The Company is not currently providing this type of maintenance
service, but may choose to do so again in the future.
The Company's sales and marketing efforts for service and maintenance in the
U.S. have only recently begun. Accordingly, the Company's U.S.-based service
capabilities have not been fully developed. In early 1996, however, the Company
was awarded a three-year maintenance contract on the World Trade Center's
parking access control contract.
Distribution and Procurement: The Company from time to time also distributes
to or procures for customers security products manufactured by others. For
example, to complement its existing products and offer
32
<PAGE>
to its customers a data security function as part of an integrated security
system or on a stand-alone basis, the Company has entered into a two-year
Software Value Added Reseller Agreement (the "ICL Reseller Agreement") with ICL
Enterprises ("ICL"), pursuant to which the Company has the right to resell
ICL's data security software. The ICL Reseller Agreement provides the Company
with a nonexclusive license to distribute, reproduce, resell and sublicense ICL
software to customers of the Company, except that the Company may not
sublicense ICL software to resellers.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company's ability to compete successfully depends, in part, on its
ability to protect the proprietary technology contained in its products. The
Company relies on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and
trademark laws, together with non-disclosure agreements, to establish and
protect proprietary rights in its EnWorks(TM) products. The Company generally
enters into confidentiality and/or license agreements with its employees,
distributors, customers and suppliers, and limits access to and distribution of
its proprietary information. These measures afford limited protection, and
there can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect these
proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its
technology or the independent development by others of similar technology. In
addition, the laws of Brazil, where the Company maintains its patents and
copyrights and has pending patent applications, do not protect the Company's
proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. The
Company intends to seek copyright protection under United States law with
respect to some of its technology. While the Company believes that it would be
impractical and not cost-effective for anyone to attempt to copy complex
software such as that used in the EnWorks(TM) products, unauthorized parties,
nevertheless, might attempt to copy aspects of the Company's products or to
obtain and use information that the Company regards as proprietary. The cost of
enforcement by the Company of its information rights could be significant,
regardless of the outcome of such enforcement proceedings. In addition,
although the Company believes that there are no infringement claims against the
Company and no grounds for the assertion of such claims, the cost of responding
to any such assertion, should be it made, could be significant.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company has the in-house capability to develop, maintain and enhance its
proprietary technology. As a result, the Company can prioritize its development
efforts and control the scope and quality of its technology. This research and
development staff permits the Company to provide customized solutions for each
customer. Management believes that this ability to provide customized solutions
constitutes a competitive advantage. During fiscal years 1995 and 1994, the
Company incurred development costs of approximately $1.8 million and $2.0
million, respectively (including capitalized software costs).
Research and development for the Company will be centered in Boca Raton,
Florida. The research and development group is responsible for the design and
implementation of new products, as well as additions and enhancements to
existing products. The group is currently working on a number of projects,
including the En500(TM) system which will be a Windows(TM)-based version of the
Scape security system. At such time as the anticipated capabilities of the
EnWorks(TM) product line are more fully developed, particularly with the
En2000(TM) system, the research and development group's resources will become
focused to a greater extent on new systems applications and specific
industries. Depending upon the nature of the systems requirements, some of
these new applications may be for other than security purposes.
SALES & MARKETING
The Company's sales strategy is focused on the following:
. Development of strategic-value added integrator relationships with a
limited number of large, well-known multinational systems integrators
with large established client bases and existing networks (e.g., EDS,
Lockheed Martin, etc.) for sales of all of the Company's products;
33
<PAGE>
. Calling efforts concentrated on Fortune 1000 companies with
sufficient integration requirements and size to qualify as sales
prospects for En2000(TM) and En1000(TM) security systems;
. Solicitation of consulting companies responsible for specifying
providers of security systems on large, high-end integrated security
systems projects suitable for En2000(TM) and En1000(TM) security
systems;
. Pursuit of selected federal, state and local government requests for
proposals as a prime contractor (e.g., World Trade Center) or in
cooperation with strategic partners; and
. Engagement of manufacturer's representatives and distributors in
Brazil to assist the Company's direct sales efforts of less complex
security systems.
The Company markets its products directly through its sales staff of seven
individuals and, from time to time, through advertising, including print and
direct mail materials, technical seminars, trade shows, technical publications,
public relations and collateral materials.
Prior to 1995, virtually all of the Company's systems sales were made in
Brazil, where the Company believes it had and continues to have a reputation
for delivering reliable, high-quality systems. Although systems sales
throughout Brazil are anticipated to remain important, the Company believes
that the business development opportunities in the U.S. for new systems sales
are significantly greater, particularly for the high-end En2000(TM) and
En1000(TM) security systems. To this end, the Company has begun to actively
pursue large, high-end integrated security systems projects in the U.S. In
early 1995, the New York & New Jersey Port Authority awarded the parking access
control system contract for the World Trade Center to the Company. The World
Trade Center contract procurement process took place over a two-year period and
involved investigations of the Company and its products. In Brazil, the Company
intends to focus its efforts on the sale of less complex systems, such as the
Scape security system and the En500(TM) security system currently under
development to take advantage of the developing Brazilian economy. The Company
intends to undertake limited international sales efforts beyond the established
Brazilian and U.S. markets, and to focus in these areas on large, high-end
integrated security systems projects.
The Company believes that its value-added integrator relationships will be a
significant source of sales and revenue in the near future. Currently, the
Company's two primary value-added integrator relationships are with EDS and
Lockheed Martin.
The Company and EDS have entered into a Card Access Systems Agreement, as
amended (the "Systems Agreement"), whereby EDS shall purchase the Company's
hardware, software and other products, as well as the Company's installation,
education, support and maintenance services. EDS is entitled to purchase
hardware and software from the Company at prices which are generally discounted
from the Company's list prices. The Company shall perform any requested system
installation, Licensed Software (as defined in the Systems Agreement) support
services and hardware maintenance services from the Company at prices and rates
as set forth in the Systems Agreement. EDS has agreed to promote and sell the
Company's products and services in the marketplace for an initial term of three
years. The parties have agreed to formulate and approve a joint marketing plan
in the third quarter of 1996 for the promotion and sale of their products. As a
part of the joint marketing strategy, the Company has allowed EDS to market,
promote and remarket Licensed Software and any documentation thereto as an
authorized remarketer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Systems Agreement.
The Company has entered into a five-year Strategic Alliance Agreement (the
"Alliance Agreement") with Lockheed Martin. The Alliance Agreement permits
Lockheed Martin and the Company to cooperate and complement each other's
efforts in identifying, proposing and marketing integrated security systems to
governmental, corporate and industrial entities. The Alliance Agreement
contemplates that Lockheed Martin and the Company will agree upon a particular
teaming arrangement with each party assuming defined roles and responsibilities
in order to more effectively compete for future business opportunities and
programs. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Alliance Agreement,
Lockheed Martin and the Company have agreed, with respect to mutually agreed
projects, to jointly market and support each other's services without
soliciting services
34
<PAGE>
or products from other sources or offering services and products to other
contractors. After the initial five-year term, the Alliance Agreement may be
extended upon the mutual agreement of the parties for additional one-year
terms. The Alliance Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 12 months
prior written notice.
The Company will also consider entering into project-specific agreements with
other companies for the sale of its products and services. The Company is
currently a party to one such agreement with Bell & Howell Postal Systems, Inc.
("Bell & Howell"), pursuant to which Bell & Howell intends to bid on a contract
to provide postal automation equipment to Empresa Brasileira de Correios E
Telegrafos ("ECT"), the Brazilian postal authority. The Company has agreed to
assist Bell & Howell in preparing proposals for the sale of postal automation
equipment to ECT and in developing a marketing program for such sales. The
Company has also agreed to provide Bell & Howell with administrative support
and assistance for its operations in Brazil. If Bell & Howell's proposal is
accepted by ECT, Bell & Howell has agreed to name the Company as a program
subcontractor. Bell & Howell has also agreed to pay the Company a fee of eight
percent of the cumulative net sales of Bell & Howell products to ECT made
during the term of the agreement, subject to certain conditions.
COMPETITION
The U.S. security systems industry is highly competitive and fragmented. The
Company believes that most of its competitors excel in a particular market
niche rather than having broad-based market share. In Brazil, the Company
competes with Sensormatic, Casi-Rusco and Northern Computers Corporation, among
others. In North America, significant competitors include Software
House/Sensormatic, Casi-Rusco, Matrix, Cardkey, ADT, Diebold, Johnson Controls,
Honeywell, Infographic, MDI and The Pittston Brinks Group. Some of these
competitors have greater name recognition, more extensive engineering,
manufacturing, marketing and distribution capabilities and greater financial,
technological and personnel resources than the Company. See "Risk Factors--
Competition." The Company may also face competition from potential new entrants
into the Company's segment of the security systems industry, many of which have
substantially greater resources than the Company. It is possible, for example,
that existing or potential competitors of the Company could introduce less
expensive and/or improved products. However, the Company believes that
competition is based primarily on product performance and features and, to a
lesser extent, on the basis of price. Other critical competitive factors
include product reliability and flexibility of use with a user's other systems.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully
in the future against existing or potential competitors or successfully adapt
to changes in the market for the Company's products. An increase in competition
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of
operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations."
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1996, the Company employed 80 individuals, of which
approximately 65 were employed in Brazil and 15 were employed in the U.S. None
of the Company's employees in the U.S. are represented by unions or were
covered by any collective bargaining agreement. All of the Company's employees
in Brazil, or approximately 81.3%, are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement. The collective bargaining agreement expires on November 1, 1996.
In addition to the collective bargaining agreement, Brazilian labor laws are
applicable to all of the Company's employees in Brazil. The requirements of the
collective bargaining agreement and the Brazilian labor laws principally
address the length of the work day, minimum daily wages for professional
workers, contributions to a retirement fund, insurance for work-related
accidents, procedures for dismissing employees, determination of severance pay
and other conditions of employment.
As part of the Company's relocation of its executive, financial and research
and development activities to the U.S. and the downsizing of its operations in
Brazil to limit its activities to sales and service of less complex security
systems, the Company anticipates reducing its workforce in Brazil by
approximately one-half over the next 12 months. Under the terms of the
collective bargaining agreement and Brazilian law, such reduction will
35
<PAGE>
cause the Company to incur approximately $350,000 of severance and related
expenses during such period, most of which will be recognized in the third and
fourth quarters of 1996.
The Company believes that its future success will depend in large part upon
its ability to continue to attract, retain, train and motivate highly skilled
and dedicated employees. The Company has not experienced a work stoppage, and
the Company believes that its employee relations are good.
FACILITIES
U.S.: The Company is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The Company
presently leases approximately 6,000 square feet of office space at two
locations--Boca Raton, Florida and New York City, New York. The New York
offices are utilized by the Company's regional sales personnel.
Brazil: The Company's Brazilian operations are headquartered in a Company-
owned building located in Cotia, a suburb of Sao Paulo. The building was
constructed in 1990 and is comprised of approximately 140,000 square feet of
office and warehouse space. In addition to the Cotia-based headquarters, the
Company maintains a number of service facilities located throughout Brazil.
These offices, many of which are provided by customers of the Company, are used
principally by the Company's service technicians.
The Company believes that its facilities are adequate to meet the Company's
current business requirements, and that suitable additional space will be
available as needed to accommodate further physical expansion of corporate
operations and for additional sales and support offices.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims
arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. As of the date
of this Prospectus, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings the
adverse outcome of which, in management's opinion, individually or in the
aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial position.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company or its subsidiaries are a party to substantially identical
employment agreements with Messrs. Finkel, Norman, da Silva, Geffin, Morelli,
Rottner and De George, pursuant to which each of those individuals serve as an
executive of the Company, Ensec, S.A. or Ensec Inc. Each of the employment
agreements is for an initial three-year term, commencing in May and June 1996
and automatically renews for successive three-year terms unless either party
provides written notice to the other party at least 90 days prior to renewal.
Under the terms of the employment agreements, Messrs. Finkel, Norman, da
Silva, Geffin, Morelli, Rottner and De George receive an initial annual base
salary of $240,000, $127,000, $127,000, $100,000, $80,000, $75,000 and
$85,000, respectively, which may be increased from time to time by the Board

increases in base salary of five percent. Mr. De George's agreement currently
provides for payment of an additional two percent of sales revenues on sales
of Company products by Mr. De George until December 31, 1996. After such time,
such sales commissions shall terminate and shall be replaced by a sales
incentive program to be established by the Company. The employment agreements
for Messrs. Norman, da Silva and Geffin provide for annual cash bonuses equal
to 25% of the annual base salary then in effect for Messrs. Norman, da Silva
and Geffin in the event certain subsidiary budgets are attained at the end of
each fiscal year. The other executives will be eligible for annual cash
bonuses determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company
based on the attainment of individual performance targets and the financial
performance of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The agreements provide that upon termination of employment by the Company,
other than for Cause (as defined in the agreements) or retirement, the Company
shall pay (i) in the case of Mr. Finkel, an amount equal to the aggregate
present value of the product of (x) the average aggregate annual compensation
paid to Mr. Finkel by the Company and any of its subsidiaries and includable
in Mr. Finkel's gross income for federal income tax purposes during the five
calendar years preceding the taxable year in which the date of termination
occurs subject to United States income tax, multiplied by (y) 2.99; (ii) in
the case of Messrs. da Silva and Norman, one and one-half times the amount of
the executive's total cash compensation in the 12 months preceding the date of
termination; and (iii) in the case of Messrs. De George, Geffin, Morelli and
Rottner, the amount of the executive's total cash compensation in the 12
months preceding the date of termination. The agreements provide for
noncompetition, nonsolicitation and nondisclosure covenants. The agreements
also provide for each executive a grant of options under the Plan which will
vest in one-third equal installments over a two-year period, with the first
vesting to occur on the consummation of the Offering and subsequent vesting to
occur on the first and second anniversary dates of the consummation of the
Offering. The options are Incentive Stock Options and provide for an exercise
price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms
of the Plan. In order for the options to vest, the executive must be an
employee of the Company or its subsidiaries as of the date of vesting, and
according to the terms of the Plan vesting of the options will accelerate and
the options will become immediately exercisable in the event the executive is
terminated by the Company other than for Cause. The number of options granted
to the executives under the Plan pursuant to the employment agreements is as
follows: Mr. Norman-- 150,000 shares; Messrs. da Silva and Geffin--50,000
shares; Mr. Rottner--30,000 shares; and Messrs. De George, Finkel and
Morelli--25,000 shares.
1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), pursuant to
which stock options (both Nonqualified Stock Options and Incentive Stock
Options, as defined in the Plan), stock appreciation rights and restricted
stock may be granted to directors, key employees and consultants (the
"Participants"). The Plan provides for the automatic grant to directors who
are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, at such time as an
individual becomes a director of the Company, of Nonqualified Stock Options to
purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to
the greater of $3.00 or the fair market value of the shares on the date of
grant. The directors' options vest in increments of 5,000 shares per year,
commencing
40
<PAGE>
on the date of the Company's annual meeting of stockholders for the election
of directors next following the date such individual became a director and
continuing with each such successive annual meeting provided such person
remains a director of the Company as of such date. The Plan also provides for
the acceleration of the vesting schedule in certain circumstances.
With respect to the grant of awards under than Plan to persons other than
non-employee directors, the committee which is responsible for administering
the Plan (the "Committee") will determine persons to be granted stock options,
stock appreciation rights and restricted stock, the amount of stock or rights
to be optioned or granted to each such person, and the terms and conditions of
any stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock. Both
Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options may be granted under
the Plan. An Incentive Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock
option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock
Option granted under the Plan will have an exercise price of not less than
100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date on which such option
is granted. With respect to an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant
who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting stock of the Company of
any parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the exercise price for such option
must be at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to the
option on the date the option is granted. A Nonqualified Stock Option granted
under the Plan (i.e., an option to purchase the Common Stock that does not
meet the Code's requirements for Incentive Options) must have an exercise
price of at least the par value of the stock.
Stock appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with the grant of an
Incentive or Nonqualified Stock Option under the Plan or independently of any
such stock option. A stock appreciation right granted in conjunction with a
stock option may be an alternative right. In which event, the exercise of the
stock option terminates the stock appreciation right to the extent of the
shares purchased upon exercise of the stock option and, correspondingly, the
exercise of the stock appreciation right terminates the stock option to the
extent of the shares with respect to which such right is exercised.
Alternatively, a stock appreciation right granted in conjunction with a stock
option may be an additional right, in which case both the stock appreciation
right and the stock option may be exercised. A stock appreciation right may
not, however, be granted in conjunction with an Incentive Stock Option under
circumstances in which the exercise of the stock appreciation right affects
the right to exercise the Incentive Stock Option or vice versa, unless certain
terms and conditions are met. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee
may award shares of restricted stock to the Participants. Generally, a
restricted stock award will not require the payment of any option price by the
Participant but will call for the transfer of shares to the Participant
subject to forfeiture, without payment of any consideration by the Company, if
the Participant's employment terminates during a "restricted" period (which
must be at least six months) specified in the award of the restricted stock.
There are 450,000 shares authorized for possible issuance under the Plan. As
of the date of this Prospectus, options to purchase 355,000 of such reserved
shares of Common Stock have been granted with exercise prices of $3.00 per
share.

The following summary description of the Company's Common Stock and
Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's
Articles and Bylaws, copies of which are included as exhibits to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
COMMON STOCK
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting
rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors
standing for election. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably
such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of
funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights
of any outstanding Preferred Stock. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive
ratably the net assets of the Company available after the payment of all debts
and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding
Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,
redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are,
and the shares offered by the Company in this Offering will be, when issued
and paid for, fully paid and
43
<PAGE>
nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common
Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the
holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock which the Company may
designate and issue in the future.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors has the authority, without further action of the
stockholders of the Company, to issue up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix or alter the designations,
preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the
shares of each such series thereof, including the dividend rights, dividend
rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption (including
sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences
and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such
series.
The Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, can issue Preferred
Stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting
power of holders of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the
Company. The Company has no present plans to issue any shares of Preferred
Stock.
REDEEMABLE WARRANTS
The Redeemable Warrants will be issued in registered form pursuant to an
agreement, dated the date of this Prospectus (the "Warrant Agreement"),
between the Company, the Underwriters and American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company (the "Warrant Agent"). The following discussion of certain terms and
provisions of the Redeemable Warrants is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the detailed provisions of the Statement of Rights, Terms, and
Conditions for each Redeemable Warrant which forms a part of the Warrant
Agreement. A form of the certificate representing the Redeemable Warrants and
a form of the Warrant Agreement have been filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
One Redeemable Warrant represents the right of the registered holder thereof
to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share,
subject to adjustment (the "Purchase Price"). The Redeemable Warrants will be
entitled to the benefit of adjustments in their respective Purchase Prices and
in the number of shares of Common Stock and/or other securities deliverable
upon the exercise thereof in the event of a stock dividend, stock split,
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation or merger.
Unless previously called for repurchase, the Redeemable Warrants may be
exercised immediately, until the close of business on , 2001 (five years
from the date of this Prospectus) (the "Expiration Date"). On or after the
Expiration Date, the Redeemable Warrants automatically become wholly void and
of no value. The Company may at any time extend the Expiration Date of all
outstanding Redeemable Warrants, for such increased period of times as it may
determine. The Redeemable Warrants may be exercised at the office of the
Warrant Agent.
The Company has the right at any time beginning , 1997 (one year from
the date of this Prospectus), or such earlier date as the Representative may
determine, to repurchase the Redeemable Warrants at a price of $.10 each, by
written notice mailed 30 days prior to the repurchase date to each Redeemable
Warrant holder at his address as it appears on the books of the Warrant Agent.
Such notice may only be given within three days following any period of 20
consecutive trading days during which the high closing bid or trading price of
the shares of Common Stock (if then traded on the Nasdaq-SCM or on a national
securities exchange) equals or exceeds $10.50 per share, subject to
adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits and the like. If Redeemable
Warrants are called for repurchase, they must be exercised prior to the close
of business on the day immediately preceding the date of any such repurchase
or the right to purchase the applicable shares of Common Stock is forfeited.
44
<PAGE>
No Redeemable Warrant will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise the
Company had filed with the Commission a current prospectus covering the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Redeemable Warrant and such
shares of Common Stock have been registered or qualified or deemed to be
exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of
such Redeemable Warrant. The Company will use its best efforts to have all
such shares of Common Stock so registered or qualified on or before the
exercise date and to maintain a current prospectus relating thereto until the
expiration of the Redeemable Warrants, subject to the terms of the Warrant
Agreement. While it is the Company's intention to do so, there is no assurance
that it will be able to do so.
No holder, as such, of Redeemable Warrants shall be entitled to vote or
receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of Common Stock for any
purposes whatsoever until such Redeemable Warrants have been duly exercised
and the Purchase Price has been paid in full.
TRANSFER AND WARRANT AGENT
The Company's transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock and Warrant
Agent for the Redeemable Warrants is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
LIMITED LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Under the FBCA, a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to
the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or
failure to act unless (i) the director breached or failed to perform his
duties as a director and (ii) the director's breach of, or failure to perform,
those duties constitutes: (1) a violation of the criminal law, unless the
director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (2) a transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or
indirectly, (3) a circumstance under which an unlawful distribution is made,
(4) in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a stockholder, conscious
disregard for the best interest of the corporation or willful misconduct, or
(5) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the corporation
or stockholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad
faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful
disregard of human rights, safety, or property. A corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any director or officer against any liability
asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in his or her capacity
or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the
FBCA.
The Articles of the Company provide that the Company shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, as amended from time to time, indemnify
all officers and directors of the Company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
FLORIDA LAW AND CERTAIN ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAW PROVISIONS
The Company is subject to (i) Section 607.0901 of the FBCA, which generally
requires supermajority approval by disinterested directors or stockholders of
certain specified transactions between a corporation and holders of more than
10% of the outstanding shares of the corporation (or their affiliates), and
(ii) Section 607.0902 of the FBCA, which generally provides that shares
acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting
rights unless such voting rights are approved by a majority vote of the
corporation's disinterested stockholders.
In addition, certain provisions of the Company's Articles summarized in the
following paragraphs may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may
delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a
45
<PAGE>
stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that
might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by
stockholders.
Classified Board of Directors. The Articles provide for the Board of
Directors to be divided into three classes of directors serving staggered
three-year terms. As a result, approximately one-third of the Board of
Directors will be elected each year. These provisions, when coupled with the
provision of the Articles authorizing only the Board of Directors to fill
vacant directorships or increase the size of the Board, may deter a
stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining
control of the Board of Directors by filling the vacancies created by such
removal with its own nominees.
Stockholder Action. The Articles provide that stockholders may not take
action by written consent, but only at duly called annual or special meetings
or stockholders.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director
Nominations. The Articles provide that stockholders seeking to bring business
before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for
election as directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, must
provide timely notice thereof in writing. To be timely, a stockholder's notice
must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices
of the Company not less than 120 days nor more than 180 days prior to the date
of the Company's notice of annual meeting provided with respect to the
previous year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if no annual meeting
was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been
changed to be more than 30 calendar days earlier than the date contemplated by
the previous year's proxy statement, notice by the stockholder, to be timely,
must be received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following
the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such
public disclosure was made, whichever is first. The Articles also specify
certain requirements for a stockholder's notice to be in proper written form.
These provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before the
stockholders at an annual or special meeting or from making nominations for
directors at an annual or special meeting.
Authorized But Unissued Shares. The authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without
stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of
corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional
capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of
authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and Preferred Stock may
enable the Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current
management which could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to
obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender, offer,
merger or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of the Company's
management.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon completion of this Offering, the Company will have outstanding
5,450,000 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the 250,000 shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants but without giving
effect to shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of (i) the Redeemable
Warrants, (ii) the Underwriters' Warrants, (iii) the Underwriters' Over-
allotment Option, or (iv) options granted under the Plan. Of such 5,450,000
shares of Common Stock, 1,950,000 shares, consisting of 1,700,000 shares to be
sold by the Company in this Offering plus 250,000 to be issued upon exercise
of the Bridge Warrants (plus any additional shares sold upon the exercise of
the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option), will be freely tradeable without
restriction or further registration under the Act, except for any shares held
by "affiliates" of the Company within the meaning of the Act which shares will
be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.
The Bridge Investors have agreed with the Representative not to sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Bridge Warrants for a period of 12 months after the date of the
consummation of the Offering and exercise of the Bridge Warrants without the
written consent of the Representative. The Representative may, in its sole
discretion, and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the
shares owned by the Bridge Investors from such restrictions.
46
<PAGE>
The remaining 3,500,000 Restricted Shares were issued by the Company in
private transactions in reliance upon one or more exemptions contained in the
Act. The Restricted Shares are deemed to be "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Act and may be publicly sold
only if registered under the Act or sold pursuant to exemptions therefrom. As
of the date of this prospectus, all of the Restricted Shares will have been
held for more than two years and are eligible for public sale in accordance
with the requirements of Rule 144, as described below. Mr. Charles N. Finkel,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and beneficial owner of
all shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Offering,
however, has agreed with the Representative not to offer, sell, contract to
sell or otherwise dispose of any of his shares for a period of 24 months after
the date of this Prospectus, without the Representative's consent. In
addition, Mr. Finkel has agreed with the Representative not to offer, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of 800,000 shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by him for a period of ten years after the date of this
Prospectus, without the Representative's consent; provided, however, that such
restrictions will be released with respect to 500,000 of such shares if the
Company reports income before income taxes in excess of $4,000,000 for fiscal
1997 and with respect to the remaining 300,000 shares if the Company reports
income before income taxes in excess of $7,000,000 for fiscal 1998. The
Representative may, in its sole discretion, and at any time without notice,
release all or any portion of the shares owned by Mr. Finkel from such
restrictions.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, subject to the
satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person, including an affiliate of
the Company (or persons whose shares are aggregated with an affiliate), who
has owned restricted shares of Common Stock beneficially for at least two
years is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares
that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding
shares of the same class or, if the common stock is quoted on Nasdaq-SCM, the
average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the
sale. A person who has not been an affiliate of the Company for at least three
months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned shares of
the Company for at least three years is entitled to sell such shares under
Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above. The
Commission is currently considering a proposal to reduce the Rule 144 holding
period for restricted securities to one year.
The Company intends to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act to register shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan,
thereby permitting the resale of such shares by non-affiliates in the public
market without restriction under the Securities Act. The Company has reserved
up to 450,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan. As of the
date of this Prospectus, options to purchase 355,000 of such reserved shares
of Common Stock were outstanding under the Plan. See "Management--1996 Stock
Option Plan."
Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock
or the Redeemable Warrants, and no predictions can be made as to the effect,
if any, that sales of the Common Stock under Rule 144 will have on the market
price of such securities from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of
the Company's securities in the public market could have a significant adverse
effect on prevailing market prices and could impair the Company's future
ability to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities. See "Risk
Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

CONCURRENT REGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK
The 250,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Bridge
Warrants are also being registered in connection with this Offering and are
covered by a Bridge Investors Prospectus included in the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. Such shares have been
included in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
The Bridge Warrants were issued to the Bridge Investors in connection with the
Company's May 1996 Bridge Financing, in which the Company agreed to register
the underlying shares concurrently with this Offering and pay all expenses in
connection therewith (other than brokerage commissions and fees and expenses
of counsel). The Company also agreed to maintain an effective registration
statement and current prospectus covering the issuance and public sale of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants for a
period of 18 months from the consummation of this Offering. None of the Bridge
Investors holds any position or office with the Company or has any other
material relationship with the Company. The Company will not receive any
proceeds from the sale of shares by the Bridge Investors.
The Common Stock issuable to the Bridge Investors upon exercise of the
Bridge Warrants may, commencing 12 months from the date of this Prospectus or
earlier with the consent of the Representative, be offered and sold from time
to time as market conditions permit in the over-the-counter market, or
otherwise, at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related to the
then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions. Such shares offered
hereby may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without
limitation: (a) a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will
attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a
broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its
account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and
transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and (d) face-to-face
transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker-dealer. In
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Bridge Investors may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Such brokers or dealers
may receive commissions or discounts from Bridge Investors in amounts to be
negotiated. Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or
dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act, in connection with such sales.

UNDERWRITING
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement among the
Company and the Underwriters, the Company has agreed to sell to the
Underwriters named below, for whom Rickel and Associates, Inc. is acting as
representative (in such capacity, the "Representative"), and the Underwriters
have agreed to purchase, the number of Securities set forth opposite their
respective names below.

=========
</TABLE>
The underwriting agreement between the Company and the Underwriters (the
"Underwriting Agreement") provides that the obligations of the Underwriters
are subject to certain conditions precedent. The Underwriters are committed to
purchase all of the Securities offered hereby if any are purchased.
The Representative has advised that the Underwriters propose initially to
offer the 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,700,000 Redeemable Warrants
to the public at the initial public offering prices set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus and that it may allow to selected dealers who are
members of the NASD concessions not in excess of $ per share of Common
Stock and $ per Redeemable Warrant, of which not more than $ per share of
Common Stock and $ per Redeemable Warrant may be re-allowed to certain
other dealers. After the Offering, the offering price and other selling terms
may be changed by the Representative.
The Underwriting Agreement provides further that the Representative will
receive from the Company a non-accountable expense allowance of 3% of the
gross proceeds of the Offering (of which the Selling Stockholder will pay his
pro rata share upon exercise of the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option). The
Company has also agreed to pay all expenses in connection with qualifying the
shares of Common Stock and the Redeemable Warrants offered hereby for sale
under the laws of such states as the Representative may designate, including
expenses of counsel retained for such purpose by the Underwriters.
Pursuant to the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option, which is exercisable
for a period of 45 days after the closing of the Offering, the Underwriters
may purchase up to 15% of the total number of shares of Common Stock (of which
the first 75,000 shares will be purchased from the Selling Stockholder) and
Redeemable Warrants offered hereby, solely to cover over-allotments.
The Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriters, for nominal
consideration, the Underwriters' Warrants to purchase 170,000 shares of Common
Stock and 170,000 Redeemable Warrants. The Underwriters' Warrants will be
nonexercisable for one year after the date of this Prospectus. Thereafter, for
a period of four years, the Underwriters' Warrants will be exercisable at an
amount equal to 165% of the offering price of the Common Stock and Redeemable
Warrants sold in this Offering. The Underwriters' Warrants are not
transferable for a period of one year after the date of this Prospectus,
except to officers of the Underwriters, members of the selling group and their
officers and partners. The Company has also granted certain demand and
"piggyback" registration rights to the holders of the Underwriters' Warrants.
For the life of the Underwriters' Warrants, the holders thereof are given,
at nominal cost, the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of
the Common Stock with a resulting dilution in the interest of other
stockholders. Further, such holders may be expected to exercise the
Underwriters' Warrants at a time when the Company would in all likelihood be
able to obtain equity capital on terms more favorable than those provided in
the Underwriters' Warrants.
The Company has agreed, for a period of 24 months after the date of this
Prospectus, not to issue any shares of Common Stock or preferred stock, or any
warrants, options or other rights to purchase Common Stock or
49
<PAGE>
preferred stock, without the prior written consent of the Representative.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may issue shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of any warrants or convertible securities outstanding on the
date hereof or to be outstanding upon closing of the Offering as described
herein. Subject to certain exceptions, Mr. Charles N. Finkel, the Company's
beneficial owner of all of the Company's capital stock, has agreed not to sell
or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock for a period of up to 24
months (or 12 months in the case of the holders of the 250,000 shares of
Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants) following the
date of this Prospectus, without the prior written consent of the
Representative. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
The Underwriting Agreement provides for reciprocal indemnification between
the Company and the Underwriters against liabilities in connection with the
Offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The Company has agreed that upon closing of the Offering it will, for a
period of not less than three years, engage a designee of the Representative
as an advisor to the Board. In addition and in lieu of the Representative's
right to designate an advisor, the Company has agreed, if requested by the
Representative during such three-year period, to nominate and use its best
efforts to cause the election of a designee of the Representative as a
director of the Company.
The Underwriters intend to act as market makers for the Common Stock and the
Redeemable Warrants after the closing of the Offering.
Commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus, until the expiration
of the exercise period of the Redeemable Warrants, the Company will pay the
Representative a fee of 5% of the exercise price of each Redeemable Warrant
exercised, provided (i) the market price of the Common Stock on the date the
Redeemable Warrant was exercised was greater than the Redeemable Warrant
exercise price on that date, (ii) the exercise price of the Redeemable Warrant
was solicited by a member of the NASD, (iii) the Redeemable Warrant was not
held in a discretionary account, (iv) the disclosure of compensation
arrangements was made both at the time of the Offering and at the time of
exercise of the Redeemable Warrant, (v) the solicitation of the exercise of
the Redeemable Warrant was not a violation of Rule 10b-6 under the Exchange
Act and (vi) the Representative is designated in writing as the soliciting
NASD member. Unless granted an exemption from Rule 10b-6 under the Exchange
Act by the Commission, the Representative and any other soliciting
broker/dealers will be prohibited from engaging in any market making
activities or solicited brokerage activities with regard to the Company's
securities during the periods prescribed by exemption (xi) to Rule 10b-6
before the solicitation of the exercise of any Redeemable Warrant until the
later of the termination of such solicitation activity or the termination of
any right the Representative and any other soliciting broker/dealer may have
to receive a fee for the solicitation of the exercise of the Redeemable
Warrants.
The Company has agreed to retain the Representative as a consultant at an
annual fee of $30,000 for one year commencing on the closing of the Offering.
The entire fee is payable at the closing of the Offering. Pursuant to this
agreement, the Representative will be obligated to provide general financial
advisory services to the Company on an as-needed basis with respect to
possible future financing or acquisitions by the Company and related matters.
The agreement does not require the Representative to provide any minimum
number of hours of consulting services to the Company.
The Representative acted as placement agent for the Company pursuant to the
Bridge Financing and received a commission of $160,000 for its services and a
non-refundable, non-accountable expense allowance of $40,000.
The initial public offering price of the shares of Common Stock and the
Redeemable Warrants offered hereby and the initial exercise price and the
other terms of the Redeemable Warrants have been determined by negotiation
between the Company and the Underwriters and do not necessarily bear any
direct relationship to the Company's assets, earnings, book value per share or
other generally accepted criteria of value. Factors considered in determining
the offering price of the shares of Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants and
the
50
<PAGE>
exercise price of the Redeemable Warrants included the business in which the
Company is engaged, the Company's financial condition, an assessment of the
Company's management, the general condition of the securities markets and the
demand for similar securities of comparable companies. In addition, the
Company and the Underwriters considered the anticipated initial public
offering price for the Common Stock in determining the exercise price of the
Redeemable Warrants.
The foregoing includes a summary of the principal terms of the Underwriting
Agreement and does not purport to be complete. Reference is made to the copy
of the Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors Ensec International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ensec
International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1994
and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ensec
International, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Ensec International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") designs,
develops, assembles and sells integrated security systems. Ensec
International, Inc. has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ensec Engenharia e
Sistemas de Seguranca S.A. ("Ensec, S.A."), a Brazilian corporation, and Ensec
Inc., a Florida corporation. All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Of the 3,500,000 shares of Company common stock currently issued and
outstanding 2,500,000 are owned by Tecpo Comercio E Representaceos Ltda., a
Brazilian limited liability company ("Tecpo"), and 1,000,000 shares are owned
by Fugrow Investments, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation ("Fugrow").
Tecpo and Fugrow are wholly-owned by Mayfair Limited Partnership, a Delaware
limited partnership, the sole general partner of which is Mayfair Company, a
Delaware corporation. Charles N. Finkel, President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, is the sole limited partner of Mayfair Limited Partnership and
the sole stockholder of Mayfair Company.
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements follows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Short-Term Investments
The short-term investment at December 31, 1995, consists of a certificate of
deposit which is restricted because it is pledged as a performance guarantee
under a contract. The Company expects the certificate of deposit to be
partially released in July 1996 when the contract is substantially completed,
and the remainder to be released in September 1996.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market based on a first-in,
first-out basis. Inventories are comprised of the following:

Depreciation
Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of
depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. The
straight-line method of depreciation is followed for financial reporting
purposes. The useful lives are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Equipment................................................. 5 to 10 years
Furniture and fixtures.................................... 5 to 10 years
</TABLE>
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes have been provided on temporary differences in reporting
certain transactions for financial accounting and tax purposes. Under the
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities as measured by the current enacted tax rates which will be in
effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of
changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the Company's financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company's estimates of the percentage of completion on contracts are
based on management's best estimate of total costs to be incurred. However,
the actual results may be different from management's estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The financial statements include various estimated fair value information at
December 31, 1994 and 1995 and at June 30, 1996, as required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments." Such information, which pertains to the Company's financial
instruments, is based on the requirements set forth in that Statement and does
not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value to the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: The carrying amount
approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those
instruments.
Receivables and Payables: The carrying amounts approximate fair value
because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Debt, Lines of Credit and Notes Payable: The carrying amounts of debt,
lines of credit and notes payable approximate fair value due to the length
of the maturities, the interest rates being tied to market indices and/or
due to the interest rates not being significantly different from the
current market rates available to the Company.
All of the Company's financial instruments are held for purposes other than
trading.

ENSEC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon delivery and acceptance for normal product sales,
which are those systems which do not require significant software
customization and are completed within relatively short time-frames. Revenues
from those turnkey systems that require significant customization are
recognized as contract revenues under the percentage of completion method.
Earned revenue is based on the percentage that incurred costs to date bear to
total estimated costs after giving effect to the most recent estimates of
total cost. The cumulative impact of revisions in total cost estimates during
the progress of work is reflected in the year in which these changes become
known. Earned revenue reflects the original contract price adjusted for agreed
upon claim and change order revenue, if any. Progress billings in accounts
receivable are currently due in accordance with the contract terms. Revenue
received under maintenance contracts is recognized over the term of the
related agreements.
Research and Development
Research and development cost in connection with the development of the
Company's computerized security systems software are expensed as incurred
until technological feasibility has been established at which time these costs
are capitalized.
Capitalized Software Costs
The Company capitalized costs incurred for internally developed software to
be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed where economic and technological
feasibility has been established. Capitalized software costs are amortized
over the estimated economic useful life of the software product (7 years).
Capitalized software costs amounted to $2,917,000 and $4,119,000 at December
31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1994
and 1995, amounted to $0 and $294,000, respectively. Costs of product
enhancements are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the
product.
Deferred Financing and Offering Costs
As described in Note N, the Company successfully completed a private
placement of senior subordinated notes in May 1996. In connection with the
private placement, the Company incurred $201,482 of financing costs as of June
30, 1996. These costs are amortized as interest expense over the life of the
senior subordinated notes. The accumulated amortization at June 30, 1996 is
$33,580.
At June 30, 1996, the Company has incurred costs aggregating $167,902 in
connection with the expected public offering of the Company's Common Stock and
Redeemable Warrants as described in Note L. The Company is deferring these
costs until the closing of the public offering at which time these costs will
be charged against paid-in capital.
Impairment of Assets
The Company periodically assesses the realizability of the capitalized
software costs. This assessment includes calculations of the estimated future
gross profits to be realized from product sales as well as consideration of
changes in hardware and software technology.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121). SFAS 121
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held
F-9
<PAGE>
ENSEC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. There was no material impact from the adoption of the provisions
of SFAS 121 in the first quarter of 1996.
Foreign Currency Translation
Ensec, S.A. operates in a highly inflationary country (Brazil). As a result,
the U.S. dollar is considered the functional currency and a combination of
current and historical rates is used in translating assets and liabilities.
The related exchange adjustments are included in operations.
The adjustments to reflect the effects of inflation, which are required by
generally accepted accounting principles in Brazil, have been eliminated in
these translated financial statements to conform them with generally accepted
principles in the United States.
Interim Financial Information
The financial statements at June 30, 1996 and for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited and prepared on the same basis as
the audited consolidated financial statements included herein. In the opinion
of management, such interim financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
results for such periods. The results of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year or any other interim period.
Earnings Per Common Share
Net earnings per share has been computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by
the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period. The weighted average number of shares of common stock and
common stock equivalent shares used for computing net earnings (loss) was
3,930,600 in 1994, 1995 and 1996. Weighted average shares includes the effect
of the options and warrants issued with exercise prices below the IPO price,
as calculated under the treasury stock method.
Subsequent to year end, the Company completed the Bridge Financing,
discussed in Note N. A part of those proceeds, along with a part of the
proceeds from the public offering (see Note L) were and will be used to retire
certain indebtedness. Supplementary earnings per share data, assuming the
issuance of the shares and the retirement of debt at the beginning of the
period, would be $(.67) and $(.28) for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's sales are concentrated in the United States and Brazil.
Approximately 90%, 72% and 78% of the Company's sales in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, are in Brazil, of which one customer represents 52% and 18% and
0% in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Approximately 62% of the sales in the
United States in 1995 are from the results of one contract. For the six months
ended June 30, 1996, two contracts represented 95% of sales in the United
States.
Stock Options
Options granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan are accounted for
under APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
interpretations. In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which will
require
F-10
<PAGE>
ENSEC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
additional proforma disclosures for companies that will continue to account
for employee stock options under the intrinsic value method specified in APB
25. The Company plans to continue to apply APB 25 and the only effect of
adopting Statement 123 in 1996 will be the new disclosure requirement.
NOTE B--RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company will generate an increasing portion of its revenue from the sale
and service of En2000 integrated security system products. These products are
exposed to the risk that new technology could be introduced resulting in
significantly lowered demand for its products. Also, the estimated useful life
of the Company's capitalized software costs is a significant estimate for
which it is reasonably possible that such a technology change will affect the
estimated useful life.
A significant amount of the Company's operations are based in Brazil. The
Brazilian market in which the Company operates is characterized by volatile
and frequently unfavorable economic, political and social conditions. High
inflation and, with it, high interest rates are common. Inflation has declined
but continues to be high in Brazil. In 1995, the per annum inflation rate was
approximately 22% in Brazil (compared to over 900% in 1994). Historically,
Brazil has also experienced significant currency fluctuations. In view of the
foregoing, the Company's business, earnings, asset values and prospects may be
materially and adversely affected by developments with respect to inflation,
interest rates, currency fluctuations, government policies, price and wage
controls, exchange control regulations, taxation, expropriation, social
instability, and other political, economic or diplomatic developments in or
affecting Brazil. Although the Company has been able to operate successfully
in Brazil for over 12 years, it has no control over such conditions and
developments, and can provide no assurance that such conditions and
developments will not adversely affect the Company's operations.

historical losses, a valuation allowance of $779,693 and $1,229,821 has been
established for the entire amount of the tax benefit attributed to the Federal
tax NOL. If certain changes in ownership occur, future utilization of the
Federal tax NOL may be limited.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
NOTE L--PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK
The Board has authorized the filing of a registration statement relating to
an initial public offering of 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock and Redeemable
Warrants to purchase 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition to the
issuance and sale of 1,700,000 shares of common stock, up to 255,000
additional shares may be sold by the underwriters pursuant to an over-
allotment option. In connection with the offering, the Company has agreed to
sell to the underwriters, for nominal consideration, redeemable warrants to
purchase up to 170,000 shares of Common Stock ("the Warrants") and 170,000
Redeemable Warrants. The Warrants are initially exercisable at a price of 165%
of the initial public offering price per share of common stock and per
Redeemable Warrant for a period of four years commencing one year from the
effective date of the Registration Statement and are restricted from sale,
transfer and assignment until the date of first exercisability.
NOTE M--DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In 1995, the Company sold its currency sorting machine segment to a minority
shareholder for the shareholder's interest in the Company plus $1,812,000 in
cash, and a 10% interest in the purchaser, valued at zero. Based on the
division's net book value of $133,000, and employee termination costs of
$188,000, a gain of $1,491,000 resulted from this transaction. The gain on
disposition of the segment has been accounted for as discontinued operations
and prior years' financial statements have been restated to reflect the
discontinuation of the currency sorting machine segment. Revenues of this
segment for 1994, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 amounted to
$2,579,000, $2,896,000 and $1,394,000, respectively.
The 10% interest in the purchaser acquired upon the sale of the segment was
valued at zero due to lack of significant sales and profitability of the
purchaser as shown in its unaudited financial statements. The Company is
accounting for this investment under the cost method.
NOTE N--SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
In May 1996, the Company completed a $2,500,000 bridge financing to support
its operations until a contemplated initial public offering of the Company's
securities is completed in 1996. The financing was obtained through the
offering of Units of $25,000 each. Each Unit consists of: (i) a senior
subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $25,000 bearing
interest, payable semi-annually, at the rate of 10% per annum due and payable
on the earliest of: (a) the closing of an initial public offering of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share; or (b) 12 months from the
date of the initial sale of the unit; and (ii) warrants to purchase 2,500
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share, at an exercise
price of $.10 per share.
The warrants are detachable warrants and are accounted for separately from
the senior subordinated notes as an addition to paid-in capital. The value
assigned to the warrants was based on fair values and amount to $725,000.
Costs associated with the issuance of the bridge financing allocated to the
warrants amounted to $82,296 and has been charged against paid-in capital.
The value assigned to the senior subordinated notes of $1,775,000 creates a
discount of $725,000 since the amount owed is $2,500,000. This discount is
being amortized on the interest method over a 12 month period and charged to
interest expense. The aggregate amount charged to interest expense for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, amounted to $104,300. Cost associated with the
issuance of the bridge financing allocated to the senior subordinated notes
has been capitalized and is being amortized as interest expense of the life of
the notes (see Note A).
NOTE O--STOCK OPTION PLANS
In May 1996, the Company adopted the Plan, pursuant to which stock options
(both Nonqualified Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options, as defined in
the Plan), stock appreciation rights and restricted stock may be granted to
directors, key employees and consultants (the "Participants"). The Plan
provides for the automatic
F-15
<PAGE>
ENSEC INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
grant to directors who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries,
at such time as an individual becomes a director of the Company, of
Nonqualified Stock Options to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise per share equal to the greater of $3.00 or the fair market value of
the shares on the date of grant. The options vest in increments of 5,000
shares per year, commencing on the date of the Company's annual meeting of
shareholders for the election of directors next following the date such
individual became a director and continuing with each such successive annual
meeting provided such person remains a director of the Company as of such
date. The Plan also provides for the acceleration of the vesting schedule in
certain circumstances.
Stock appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with the grant of an
Incentive or Nonqualified Stock Option under the Plan or independently of any
such stock option. A stock appreciation right granted in conjunction with a
stock option may be an alternative right. In which event, the exercise of the
stock option terminates the stock appreciation right to the extent of the
shares purchased upon exercise of the stock option, and correspondingly, the
exercise of the stock appreciation right terminates the stock option to the
extent of the shares with respect to which such right is exercised.
Alternatively, a stock appreciation right granted in conjunction with a stock
option may be an additional right, in which case both the stock appreciation
right and the stock option may be exercised. A stock appreciation right may
not, however, be granted in conjunction with an Incentive Stock Option under
circumstances in which the exercise of the stock appreciation right affects
the right to exercise the Incentive Stock Option or vice versa, unless certain
terms and conditions are met. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Company
may award shares of restricted stock to the Participants. Generally, a
restricted stock award will not require the payment of any option price by the
Participant but will call for the transfer of shares to the Participant
subject to forfeiture, without payment of any consideration by the Company, if
the Participant's employment terminates during a "restricted" period (which
must be at least six months) specified in the award of the restricted stock.
There are 450,000 shares authorized for possible issuance under the Plan, of
which Incentive Stock Options to purchase 355,000 shares were granted in May
and June 1996 with an exercise price of $3.00 per share. These shares were
granted at fair market value and therefore, no compensation expense was
recognized.
NOTE P--SEGMENT INFORMATION
During 1994 and 1995, the Company's operations involved two industry
segments: One that designs, develops, assembles, and maintains integrated
security systems and leases security equipment; and the other that sells and
installs currency sorting equipment. The currency sorting equipment segment
was sold in 1995 and has been classified as a discontinued operation in the
accompanying financial statements. The geographic areas in which the Company
operates are the United States and Brazil. The Company operated in the two
business segments in Brazil and only in the security business segment in the
United States. It is impracticable for the Company to desegregate its foreign
business segments. Therefore, in accordance with FAS No. 14, these segments
are presented on a combined basis. During 1996, the Company only operated in
the security industry segment. Net sales, operating income (before interest
and income taxes) and identifiable assets by geographic area were as follows:

THE COMPANY
The Company designs, develops, assembles, sells, installs and services
security systems for large commercial or governmental facilities, ranging from
single function installations to high-end integrated security systems. The
Company's high-end integrated systems are based on its proprietary software and
related hardware which permit multiple devices or systems to be combined into a
unified system covering multiple sites. Since its inception, the Company has
installed approximately 400 systems, nearly all of which have been in Brazil,
including systems for large corporations (such as Bosch, Caterpillar, Eastman
Kodak, General Motors, IBM, Microsoft and Texaco) and government agencies (such
as the Brazilian Bureau of Mint & Engraving and the Central Bank of Brazil).
In 1995, the Company completed the development of its second-generation
system, the EnWorks(TM) product family, consisting of state-of-the-art, real-
time, integrated security systems. The Company spent four years and over $5
million in the development of the flagship product in the EnWorks(TM) family:
the En2000(TM) system. The Company's high-end integrated security systems are
based on distributive intelligence architecture and proprietary software that
permit the integration of various security devices or systems into a unified
system operating through the use of graphical user interfaces. Distributive
intelligence architecture permits individual components of an integrated
security system to process information independently so that such components
may continue to operate even when the central processor or another component in
the system malfunctions or is rendered inoperative. In addition, an integrated
security system that uses distributive intelligence architecture can operate
more efficiently because individual components are able to complete independent
tasks simultaneously.
The Company believes that the worldwide integrated security systems market is
currently $1.5 billion and has grown at a rate of approximately 15% per annum
from 1992 to 1995. The Company began marketing its En2000 system in 1995, at
which time the Company was selected by the Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey through a competitive bid process to provide the new integrated access
control system for the parking facilities located in the World Trade Center. In
1995, the Company entered into contracts to install eight additional En2000(TM)
systems, including a contract from EDS to install the En2000(TM) in EDS's
corporate headquarters in Plano, Texas. During the first six months of 1996,
the Company entered into contracts to install seven En2000(TM) systems. In
addition, the Company currently has 56 service and maintenance contracts with
customers who have purchased Company products, covering 151 installations.
Other examples of the Company's completed projects involving prior versions of
the Company's systems include: (i) an integrated security system for the
Brazilian Bureau of Mint & Engraving; (ii) an access control, time and
attendance, closed-circuit television ("CCTV") and fleet management system for
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, a large Brazilian iron ore mining company with over
65,000 employees; and (iii) a postal tracking and tracing system for the
Brazilian Postal Service.

Pursuant to a Share Deposit Agreement between the Representative and Charles
N. Finkel, the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and beneficial
owner of all shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Offering, Mr. Finkel agreed with the Representative not to offer, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of all shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by him for a period of 24 months after the date of the
Company Prospectus, without the Representative's consent. In addition, Mr.
Finkel has agreed with the Representative not to offer, sell, contract to sell
or otherwise dispose of 800,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
him for a period of ten years after the date of the Company Prospectus, without
the Representative's consent; provided, however, that such restrictions will be
released with respect to 500,000 of such shares if the Company reports income
before income taxes in excess of $4,000,000 in fiscal 1997 and with respect to
the remaining 300,000 shares if the Company reports income before income taxes
in excess of $7,000,000 in fiscal 1998. The Representative may, in its sole
discretion, and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the
shares owned by Mr. Finkel from such restrictions. See "Shares Eligible for
Future Sale."
In May 1996, the Company concluded a private placement of an aggregate of (i)
$2,500,000 of 10% senior subordinated notes (the "Bridge Financing"), and (ii)
warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of
$.10 per share (the "Bridge Warrants") which are mandatorily exercisable upon
the consummation of the sale of the securities in this Offering, to the Bridge
Investors. The Company received net cash proceeds from the Bridge Financing of
approximately $2,216,000 after giving effect to commissions and expenses, which
proceeds were used primarily for debt repayment in Brazil and general working
capital purposes.
The Company, a Florida corporation, was formed in April 1996 as a holding
company for Ensec Inc., a Florida corporation ("Ensec Inc."), and Ensec
Engenharia e Sistemas de Seguranca, S.A., a Brazilian corporation ("Ensec,
S.A."). Ensec, S.A. was founded in 1983 by Charles N. Finkel, the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer. In 1991, Ensec, S.A. established its
U.S. operations with the formation of Ensec Inc. The Company's principal
administrative offices are located in Boca Raton, Florida and Sao Paulo,
Brazil. The Company maintains a regional sales office in New York City. The
Company's principal executive offices are located at 751 Park of Commerce
Drive, Suite 104, Boca Raton, Florida 33487, telephone number (561) 997-2511.

(1) Net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding for each period. For purposes of
computing net loss per share, options, warrants and Common Stock granted or
issued by the Company during the 12-month period preceding the date of the
Company Offering at a price below the anticipated offering price to the
public of $6.25 per share have been included in the determination of the
weighted average number of shares outstanding using the treasury stock
method.
(2) The supplemental pro forma net loss and net loss per share reflect the
issuance of shares necessary to retire net estimated average notes payable
outstanding during 1995 and the resulting decrease in net loss in the
amount of $1,013,000 for the year ended 1995, as of the beginning of the
period presented. The calculation is based on the weighted average shares
outstanding used in the calculation of earnings per share, adjusted for the
number of estimated shares that would be issued by the Company, i.e.,
288,480 shares at $6.25 per share, to retire these obligations. See Note A
in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3) The supplemental pro forma net loss and net loss per share reflect the
issuance of shares necessary to retire the estimated average notes payable
outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the senior
subordinated notes issued in the Bridge Financing and the resulting
decrease in net loss in the amount of $790,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, as of the beginning of the period presented. The calculation
is based on the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation
of earnings per share, adjusted for the number of estimated shares that
would be issued by the Company, i.e., 758,400 shares at $6.25 per share, to
retire these obligations. See Note A in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
(4) Pro forma financial information gives effect to loans aggregating $500,000
from the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a Brazilian bank in July
1996. These loans are expected to be repaid from the proceeds of the
Company Offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
(5) Adjusted to reflect the sale of 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock and
1,700,000 Company Offered Redeemable Warrants offered hereby and the
exercise of the Bridge Warrants. See "Use of Proceeds" and
"Capitalization."
(6) Does not include up to (i) 180,000 shares of Common Stock issuable by the
Company and 75,000 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Selling
Stockholder upon exercise of the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option in
full; (ii) 1,955,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon
exercise of the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants, including those
issuable upon exercise of the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option in full;
(iii) 340,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of
the Underwriters' Warrants and the Redeemable Warrants included therein;
and (iv) 450,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted
pursuant to the Plan. See "Management--1996 Stock Option Plan" and "Certain

(7) After giving effect to (i) the Underwriters' discount ($971,550); (ii) the
Representative's non-accountable expense allowance ($323,850); and (iii) an
estimated $375,000 of other fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the Company Offering, including printing, professional and other
miscellaneous fees.

RISK FACTORS
The purchase of Common Stock offered hereby is speculative and involves a
high degree of risk including, but not necessarily limited to, the risk factors
described below. Common Stock should not be purchased by investors who cannot
afford the loss of their entire investment. Prospective investors should
carefully review and consider the following risks as well as the other
information contained in this Prospectus.
1. ACCUMULATED DEFICIT; ANTICIPATED FUTURE LOSSES. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995, the Company experienced a net loss of $3,818,000, and as of
June 30, 1996 had an accumulated deficit of $3,977,000. The Company anticipates
continued losses for the foreseeable future. The Company's operating results
for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties. The Company
anticipates significant expenses in its foreseeable future, including research
and development expenses, marketing costs and general administrative expenses.
As part of the Company's efforts to move its executive, financial and research
and development activities to the U.S. and to limit activities in Brazil to
sales and service of less complex security systems, the Company anticipates
reducing its work force in Brazil by approximately 50% over the next 12 months.
Under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement and Brazilian law, such
reduction will cause the Company to incur approximately $350,000 of severance
and related expenses during such period, of which approximately $250,000 will
be recognized in the third and fourth quarters of 1996. Because the Company
anticipates incurring significant expenses in connection with the continued
development and marketing of its products, there can be no assurance that the
Company will achieve sufficient additional revenues to offset anticipated
operating costs. Inasmuch as the Company will continue to have high levels of
operating expenses and will be required to make significant expenditures in
connection with its continued research and development activities, the Company
may experience significant operating losses that could continue until such
time, if ever, that the Company is able to generate sufficient additional
revenues to support its operations. There can be no assurance that the
Company's technology and products will be able to compete successfully in the
marketplace and/or generate significant revenue. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
2. WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIT; BANKING RELATIONSHIPS. The Company's capital
requirements in connection with its development and marketing activities will
continue to be significant. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a working
capital deficit of $4,754,000. While the application of the anticipated net
proceeds from the Company Offering will eliminate such working capital deficit,
the Company has no current arrangements with respect to sources of additional
financing. The Company maintains various credit facilities with a number of
Brazilian banks, and relies in large part on those credit facilities for its
current working capital. All of the Company's borrowings with respect to its
working capital credit facilities are of a short term nature. Most, but not
all, of the Company's lenders have in the past renewed the credit facilities on
a regular basis on substantially similar terms and conditions as existing
credit facilities. There can be no assurance that the Company's lenders will
renew the Company's credit facilities under any conditions. To the extent
certain existing lenders may determine not to renew or may determine to reduce
any line of credit extended to the Company, management believes that subsequent
to consummation of the Offering, lines of credit with other banks can be
negotiated to replace any lost credit availability. However, there can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain additional
financing, when needed, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
3. DEPENDENCE ON SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS. Although the
composition of the Company's largest customers has changed from year to year,
historically the Company's revenues have been materially dependent on a limited
number of customers. The number of customers accounting for five percent or
more of the Company's revenues was 17 in 1994 and 15 in 1995. See Note A in
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. While management expects the
Company's customer base to continue to expand, a limited number of large orders
may continue to account for a significant portion of the Company's sales during
any given period for the foreseeable future. As such, the Company's financial
condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by a delay,
reduction or cancellation of orders from one or more of its significant
customers or the loss of one or more of such customers.
7
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATE PAGE FOR BRIDGE INVESTORS PROSPECTUS]
10. INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION. The Company intends to expand its operations
into additional international markets which will require significant
management attention and financial resources. There can be no assurance that
the Company's efforts to develop international sales and support channels will
be successful. International sales are subject to a number of risks, including
potentially longer payment cycles, unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements, import and export restrictions and tariffs, difficulties in
staffing and managing foreign operations, the burden of complying with a
variety of foreign laws, greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection,
potentially adverse tax consequences, currency fluctuations and potential
political and economic instability. Additionally, the protection of
intellectual property may be more difficult to enforce outside of the United
States. In the event that the Company is successful in expanding its
international operations, the imposition of exchange or price controls or
other restrictions on foreign currencies could materially affect the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.
11. CONTROL OF THE COMPANY. Immediately following the Company Offering,
Charles N. Finkel will control the vote of approximately 64.2% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (without giving effect to the possible
exercise of the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option, the Underwriters'
Warrants, the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants or options granted under the
Plan), which, among other things, will allow Mr. Finkel to elect the entire
class of directors to be elected from time to time. Such concentration of
ownership could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay
in the future for shares of the Company's Common Stock, and could have the
effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of
discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of the Company.
See "Principal and Selling Stockholders."
12. BROAD DISCRETION IN APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Approximately $2,543,600
(27.8%) of the estimated net proceeds of the Company Offering have been
allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes. Accordingly, the
Company will have broad discretion as to the application of such proceeds. See
"Use of Proceeds."
13. LENGTHY SALES CYCLE. The sale of the Company's high-end integrated
security systems typically involves a significant technical evaluation and
commitment of capital and other resources, with the attendant delays
frequently associated with customers' internal procedures to approve large
capital expenditures and to test and accept new technologies that affect key
operations. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated with the
Company's products is typically lengthy and subject to a number of significant
risks, including customers' budgetary constraints and internal acceptance
reviews, that are beyond the Company's control. Because of the lengthy sales
cycle and the large size of customer orders, if revenues forecasted from a
specific customer for a particular quarter are not realized in that quarter,
the Company's operating results for that quarter could be materially adversely
affected.
14. POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN BRAZIL. While the Company
intends to shift more of its operations and sales to the United States, a
significant amount of its business will continue to be based in Brazil for the
foreseeable future. The Brazilian market in which the Company operates is
characterized by volatile and frequently unfavorable economic, political and
social conditions. See Notes A and B in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. High inflation and, with it, high interest rates are common.
Inflation has declined but continues to be high in Brazil. In 1995, the per
annum inflation rate was approximately 22% in Brazil (compared to in excess of
900% in 1994). Brazil has also experienced significant currency fluctuations.
See "--Currency Fluctuations."
Inflation adversely impacts the Company's contract revenues which are fixed
and rise more slowly than costs or are otherwise not adjusted for inflation.
Further, inflation can erode purchasing power and thereby adversely affect
sales; consequently, margins diminish if product prices fail to keep pace with
increases in supply and material costs. While the Company has been able in
most recent years to increase prices in local currency terms overall at least
as much as inflation, net sales in local currency terms may nevertheless
remain flat or
10
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATE PAGE FOR BRIDGE INVESTORS PROSPECTUS]
stockholders' equity. The Company could be further adversely affected by a
depreciation in the real if it becomes necessary to increase dollar-
denominated indebtedness in order to provide working capital, finance capital
expenditures or for other purposes. Currency translation gains and losses may
contribute to fluctuations in the Company's results of operations. The Company
has engaged in currency hedging transactions on a limited basis and in the
future may undertake currency hedging to reduce currency exposure, although
there can be no assurance that hedging transactions, if entered into, would
materially reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates on the Company's results of operations. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
16. NO ANTICIPATED DIVIDENDS; RELIANCE ON SUBSIDIARIES. Payment of dividends
on the Common Stock is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and
will depend upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and
financial condition, and other relevant factors. The Company does not
currently intend to declare any dividends on its Common Stock in the
foreseeable future. See "Dividends."
As a holding company, the Company's ability to pay operating expenses, any
debt service obligations and dividends materially depends upon receipt of
sufficient funds from its subsidiaries. Brazil does not currently restrict the
remittance of dividends paid by Ensec, S.A. to the Company, although Brazil
has laws in effect which provide limitations on the exchange of local currency
for foreign currency at official rates of exchange. Brazil has imposed more
restrictive exchange controls in the past, and no assurance can be given that
more restrictive exchange control policies, which could adversely affect the
ability of Ensec, S.A. to pay dividends to the Company, will not be imposed in
the future. The payment of dividends by Ensec, S.A. is also in certain
instances subject to statutory restrictions or restrictive covenants in debt
instruments and is contingent upon the earnings and cash flow of and permitted
borrowings by Ensec, S.A.
17. PRODUCT LIABILITY. The Company's products contain software that may
contain software errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when
new versions or enhancements are released. Although to date such defects and
errors have not materially adversely affected the Company's operating results,
there can be no assurance that, despite testing by the Company and by current
and potential customers, defects and errors will not be found in new products
or in new versions or enhancements of existing products. Such discovery could
result in adverse customer reaction, negative publicity regarding the Company
or its products or delay in or failure to achieve market acceptance, any of
which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition. While neither Ensec, S.A. nor Ensec
Inc. has experienced any product liability claims to date, there can be no
assurance that such claims will not be made in the future. Ensec Inc.
maintains product liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000
per year and has additional excess liability insurance in the amount of
$5,000,000 for liability in excess of its initial $1,000,000 of coverage.
Ensec, S.A. maintains no product liability insurance coverage. A successful
claim against Ensec Inc. in excess of such coverage or against Ensec, S.A.
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business."
18. NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. Prior to the
Company Offering, there has been no public market for the Company's Common
Stock. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an active trading market
will develop or be sustained subsequent to the Company Offering. The initial
public offering price of the Company Offered Shares will be determined by
negotiations among the Company and the Underwriters and may not be indicative
of the prices that may prevail in the public market. The Company has applied
to have the Common Stock quoted on the Nasdaq-SCM and the Boston Stock
Exchange. No assurance can be given that the Common Stock and the Redeemable
Warrants will qualify for initial quotation or listing or that the Company
will continue to be able to satisfy certain specified financial tests and
market-related criteria required for continued quotation on the Nasdaq-SCM and
continued listing on the Boston Stock Exchange following the Offering. If the
Company is unable to satisfy such maintenance criteria in the future, the
Common Stock may be delisted from trading on the Nasdaq-SCM and/or the Boston
Stock Exchange, as the case may be, and consequently an investor could find it
more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price
of, the Common Stock would no longer be redeemable. This stock market
generally, and the technology sector in particular, have experienced and are
likely in the future to experience significant price and volume
12
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATE PAGE FOR BRIDGE INVESTORS PROSPECTUS]
fluctuations which could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock
without regard to the significant fluctuations in response to variations in
quarterly operating results, shortfalls in sales or earnings below analyst
estimates, developments in the electronics and security industries, stock
market conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that the market
price of the Common Stock will not experience significant fluctuations or
decline below the initial public offering price. In addition, the
Representative has agreed to serve as the Company's agent for the solicitation
of future exercises of the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants. If such a
solicitation is viewed as aiding a distribution of Common Stock, the
Representative will be prohibited by applicable securities laws from making a
market in the Common Stock for the period from nine days prior to the
commencement of the future exercise solicitation activity until completion of
the Representative's participation in that distribution effort. Such an
abstention from making a market in the Company's Common Stock could adversely
affect its market price.
19. REPAYMENT OF DEBT. Approximately $5,314,000 (58.1%) of the proceeds of
the Company Offering will be used to repay indebtedness and related interest,
including indebtedness incurred in connection with the Bridge Financing and
$100,000 of which was borrowed from Mr. Charles N. Finkel, the President,
Chief Executive Officer and sole beneficial owner of all of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock of the Company, and accordingly such funds will not
be available to fund future growth. See "Use of Proceeds."
20. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. Upon completion of the Company
Offering, the Company will have outstanding 5,450,000 shares of Common Stock,
after giving effect to the 250,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Bridge Warrants but without giving effect to shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of (i) the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants,
(ii) the Underwriters' Warrants, (iii) the Underwriters' Over-allotment
Option, or (iv) options granted under the Plan. Of such 5,450,000 shares of
Common Stock, 1,950,000 shares, consisting of the Company Offered Shares plus
250,000 shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to this Offering (plus any
additional shares sold upon the exercise of the Underwriters' Over-allotment
Option), will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration
under the Act, except for any shares held by "affiliates" of the Company
within the meaning of the Act which shares will be subject to the resale
limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. The Bridge Investors have
agreed with the Representative not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants for a
period of 12 months after the date of the consummation of the Company Offering
and exercise of the Bridge Warrants without the written consent of the
Representative.
The remaining 3,500,000 shares (the "Restricted Shares") were issued by the
Company in private transactions in reliance upon one or more exemptions
contained in the Act. The Restricted Shares are deemed to be "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Act and
may be publicly sold only if registered under the Act or sold pursuant to
exemptions therefrom. As of the date of this Prospectus, all of the Restricted
Shares will have been held for more than two years and are eligible for public
sale in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144, as described below. Mr.
Charles N. Finkel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and
beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Company Offering, however, has agreed with the Representative not to
offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any of his shares for a
period of 24 months after the date of the Company Prospectus, without the
Representative's consent. In addition, Mr. Finkel has agreed with the
Representative not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of
800,000 of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him for a period
of ten years after the date of the Company Prospectus, without the
Representative's consent; provided, however, that such restrictions will be
released with respect to 500,000 of such shares if the Company reports income

USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Common
Stock offered hereby. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the
Company Offered Shares and Company Offered Redeemable Warrants offered hereby
and from the exercise of the Bridge Warrants are estimated to be $9,149,600
($10,176,200 if the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option is exercised in full),
after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses
payable by the Company. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from
any sale of shares by the Selling Stockholder if the Underwriters' Over-
allotment Option is exercised. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders" and
"Concurrent Registration of Common Stock and Warrants."
The Company expects to use the net proceeds (assuming no exercise of the
Underwriters' Over-allotment Option) during the next 12 months as follows:

(1) Represents the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of
$2,500,000, plus estimated accrued interest thereon at the rate of 10% per
annum to the date of consummation of the Company Offering, on indebtedness
incurred in the Bridge Financing. The Notes require that $25,000 of the
repayment proceeds be used to exercise the Bridge Warrants. The net
proceeds of the Bridge Financing, approximately $2,216,000, were used to
retire approximately $577,000 of principal outstanding under short-term
notes payable by the Company to four Brazilian financial institutions
which bore interest at rates of approximately 4% to 5% per month, and to
retire approximately $160,000 of principal and accrued interest
outstanding under long-term indebtedness owed by the Company to two
Brazilian financial institutions bearing interest at rates 12% per annum.
The remaining net proceeds from the Bridge Financing were used to repay an
$80,000 non-interest bearing loan from Mr. Finkel to the Company and for
working capital and other general corporate purposes.
(2) Represents the repayment of approximately $2,640,000 of outstanding
principal balance on short-term notes anticipated to be outstanding as of
the consummation of the Company Offering due to five Brazilian banks. The
Company's Chief Executive Officer has pledged $400,000 as a guarantee for
a loan in the amount of $400,000 included in this outstanding principal
balance. These notes currently bear interest at rates of approximately 4%
to 5% per month.
(3) Represents the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of $100,000
on a short-term loan which bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum from
Charles N. Finkel, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, to the Company
on July 19, 1996.
(4) Includes the anticipated costs of adding research and development
personnel and the costs of continued enhancement to current products and
new product development.
(5) Represents dividends payable by Ensec, S.A. to its former parent company,
Tecpo Comercio E Representaceos Ltda., a Brazilian limited liability
company ("Tecpo"), indirectly wholly-owned by Charles N. Finkel, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which dividends were
attributable to net income of Ensec, S.A. in fiscal year 1992 and prior
periods.
(6) Includes an anticipated amount of $350,000 to satisfy termination benefits
anticipated to be incurred by the Company in connection with the
downsizing of its Brazilian operations.

If the Underwriters exercise their Over-allotment Option in full, the
Company will realize additional net proceeds of approximately $1,026,600,
which amount will be added to the Company's working capital.

[ALTERNATE PAGE FOR BRIDGE INVESTORS PROSPECTUS]
The Company anticipates, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions
relating to its operations, that the proceeds of the Company Offering will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's contemplated cash requirements for at
least 12 months following the consummation of the Company Offering. In the
event the Company's plans change or its assumptions change or prove to be
inaccurate or the proceeds of the Company Offering prove to be insufficient to
fund operations (due to unanticipated expenses, delays, problems or
otherwise), the Company may find it necessary or advisable to reallocate some
of the proceeds within the above-described categories or to use portion
thereof for other purposes and could be required to seek additional financing
sooner than currently anticipated. Depending on the Company's progress in the
development of its products and technology, their acceptance by third parties,
and the state of the capital markets, the Company may also determine that it
is necessary to raise additional equity capital within the next 12 months,
subject to the prior written consent of the Representative. The Company has no
current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing and
there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the
Company when needed on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Any inability
to obtain additional financing when needed would have a material adverse
effect on the Company, including possibly requiring the Company to
significantly curtail or cease its operations.
Proceeds not immediately required for the purposes described above will be
invested principally in U.S. government securities and/or short-term
certificates of deposit.

DILUTION
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a net tangible book value equal to
$(151,414), or $(.04) per share. After giving effect to the sale of the
Company Offered Shares and the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants, the
issuance of 250,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of the
Bridge Warrants, and application of the estimated net proceeds as set forth
under "Use of Proceeds," the pro forma net tangible book value at such date
would have been $8,496,446, or $1.56 per share. This represents an immediate
increase in net tangible book value of $1.60 per share to the existing
stockholders and immediate dilution of $4.69 per share (or 75.0% of the public
offering price) to purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby ("New
Investors"). If the initial public offering price is higher or lower, the
dilution to New Investors will be, respectively, greater or less. The
following table illustrates the dilution per share:

Common Stock outstanding. The Company's total tangible assets are equal to
total assets less deferred financing costs of $167,902 and $118,960 of
deferred offering costs as of June 30, 1996.
(3) The dilution of net tangible book value per share to New Investors
assuming the Underwriters' Over-allotment Option is exercised in full
would be $4.56 (or 73%).
The following table sets forth, with respect to existing stockholders and
New Investors, a comparison of the number of shares of Common Stock acquired

DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company currently anticipates that it will retain any future earnings
for use in its business and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the
foreseeable future. The payment of any future dividends will be at the
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend, among other
things, upon the Company's future earnings, operations, capital requirements
and financial condition, general business conditions and contractual
restrictions on payment of dividends, if any.

(2) The supplemental pro forma net loss and net loss per share reflect the
issuance of shares necessary to retire the estimated average notes payable
outstanding during 1995 and the resulting decrease in net loss in the
amount of $1,013,000 for the year ended 1995, as of the beginning of the
period presented. The calculation is based on the weighted average shares
outstanding used in the calculation of earnings per share, adjusted for
the number of estimated shares that would be issued by the Company, i.e.,
288,480 shares at $6.25 per share, to retire these obligations. See Note A
in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3) The supplemental pro forma net loss and net loss per share reflect the
issuance of shares necessary to retire the estimated average notes payable
outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the senior
subordinated notes and the resulting decrease in net loss in the amount of
$790,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as of the beginning of
the period presented. The calculation is based on the weighted average
shares outstanding used in the calculation of earnings per share, adjusted
for the number of estimated shares that would be issued by the Company,
i.e., 758,400 shares at $6.25 per share, to retire these obligations. See
Note A in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

respectively. The Company anticipates that it will incur approximately $1.0
million of research and development expenditures in the next 12 months in
order to enhance existing products and to develop new products.
The Company has a $.3 million line of credit agreement with a commercial
bank, which line of credit will expire in September 1996. The Company has no
additional borrowings available under this line of credit. Borrowings under
the line of credit are evidenced by notes payable which bear interest at a
rate of such bank's prime rate plus 2% per annum and are secured by certain
Ensec Inc. accounts receivable. The Company obtained its long-term debt
financing from two Brazilian banks. These loans bear interest at a rate of 12%
per annum, require monthly payments of principal and interest and mature in
1998. As of June 30, 1996, the Company has $4.0 million outstanding under its
long-term notes. Short-term borrowings from several Brazilian banks as of June
30, 1996 amounted to $2.2 million, which bear interest at rates of
approximately 4% to 5% per month. The repayment of the short-term debt from
the proceeds of this Offering will result in a substantial reduction in
interest expense. In July 1996, Charles N. Finkel, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, loaned $.1 million to the Company and pledged $.4 million
in collateral as a guarantee for a short-term loan to the Company in the
amount of $.4 million. This short-term debt is to be repaid from the proceeds
of the Company Offering. In addition, the Company presently intends to sell or
enter into a sale/leaseback or similar arrangement with respect to certain
buildings owned by the Company located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the proceeds of
which would be used to reduce the Company's long-term debt.
The Company believes that the financing provided by the Company Offering
should provide funds that, together with cash flow from operations, if any,
will be sufficient to repay its Brazilian short-term debt and meet its
presently anticipated working capital, including marketing expenditures, and
research and development expenditure requirements for at least the next 12
months. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve
profitability in the next 12 months, and the Company may need to raise
additional capital in the future, subject to the prior written consent of the
Representative. As a result of entering into employment agreements with seven
of the Company's executives in May or June 1996, the Company will incur
increases in salary expenses of $.3 million for 1996. See "Management."
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had NOL carryforwards for U.S. federal
income tax purposes of approximately $3.6 million, which begin to expire in
2006. These carryforwards result from cumulative operating losses of Ensec
Inc. since its inception in 1991. The consummation of the Company Offering and
the sale of the Securities offered thereunder may limit the Company's ability
to offset such carryforwards against U.S. taxable income in future years. The
Company's NOL carryforwards for Brazilian corporate and social contribution
tax purposes totaled $5.5 million as of December 31, 1995. There are no
limitations which affect the ability of the Company to offset these losses
against future Brazilian taxable income. See Note K in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Directors of the Company, Ensec, S.A. and Ensec Inc. do not receive any
additional compensation for serving as a director or committee member, but
directors who are not employees of the Company are reimbursed for their
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board
of Directors and Board committees.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Upon the consummation of the Company Offering and the appointment of two
individuals not otherwise affiliated with the Company as directors, the
Company will form an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. The Audit
Committee will be responsible for reviewing audit functions, including
accounting and financial reporting practices of the Company, the adequacy of
the Company's system of internal accounting control, the quality and integrity
of the Company's financial reporting and relations with independent auditors.
It is anticipated that the Audit Committee will consist of Messrs. Finkel,
Norman and a new director. The Compensation Committee will be responsible for
establishing the compensation of the Company's directors, officers and
employees (other than those persons serving on such committee, whose
compensation will be determined by the full Board of Directors), including

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company or its subsidiaries are a party to substantially identical
employment agreements with Messrs. Finkel, Norman, da Silva, Geffin, Morelli,
Rottner and De George, pursuant to which each of those individuals serve as an
executive of the Company, Ensec, S.A. or Ensec Inc. Each of the employment
agreements is for an initial three-year term, commencing in May and June 1996
and automatically renews for successive three-year terms unless either party
provides written notice to the other party at least 90 days prior to renewal.
Under the terms of the employment agreements, Messrs. Finkel, Norman, da
Silva, Geffin, Morelli, Rottner and De George receive an initial annual base
salary of $240,000, $127,000, $127,000, $100,000, $80,000, $75,000 and
$85,000, respectively, which may be increased from time to time by the Board
of Directors. Mr. Rottner's employment agreement provides for minimum annual
increases in base salary of five percent. Mr. De George's agreement currently
provides for payment of an additional two percent of sales revenues on sales
of Company products by Mr. De George until December 31, 1996. After such time,
such sales commissions shall terminate and shall be replaced by a sales
incentive program to be established by the Company. The employment agreements
for Messrs. Norman, da Silva and Geffin provide for annual cash bonuses equal
to 25% of the annual base salary then in effect for Messrs. Norman, da Silva
and Geffin in the event certain subsidiary budgets are attained at the end of
each fiscal year. The other executives will be eligible for annual cash
bonuses determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company
based on the attainment of individual performance targets and the financial
performance of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The agreements provide that upon termination of employment by the Company,
other than for Cause (as defined in the agreements) or retirement, the Company
shall pay (i) in the case of Mr. Finkel, an amount equal to the aggregate
present value of the product of (x) the average aggregate annual compensation
paid to Mr. Finkel by the Company and any of its subsidiaries and includable
in Mr. Finkel's gross income for federal income tax purposes during the five
calendar years preceding the taxable year in which the date of termination
occurs subject to United States income tax, multiplied by (y) 2.99; (ii) in
the case of Messrs. da Silva and Norman, one and one-half times the amount of
the executive's total cash compensation in the 12 months preceding the date of
termination; and (iii) in the case of Messrs. De George, Geffin, Morelli and
Rottner, the amount of the executive's total cash compensation in the 12
months preceding the date of termination. The agreements provide for
noncompetition, nonsolicitation and nondisclosure covenants. The agreements
also provide for each executive a grant of options under the Plan which will
vest in one-third equal installments over a two-year period, with the first
vesting to occur on the consummation of the Company Offering and subsequent
vesting to occur on the first and second anniversary dates of the consummation
of the Company Offering. The options are Incentive Stock Options and provide
for an exercise price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance
with the terms of the Plan. In order for the options to vest, the executive
must be an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries as of the date of
vesting, and according to the terms of the Plan vesting of the options will
accelerate and the options will become immediately exercisable in the event
the executive is terminated by the Company other than for Cause. The number of
options granted to the executives under the Plan pursuant to the employment
agreements is as follows: Mr. Norman-- 150,000 shares; Messrs. da Silva and
Geffin--50,000 shares; Mr. Rottner--30,000 shares; and Messrs. De George,
Finkel and Morelli--25,000 shares.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In May 1996, the Company concluded the Bridge Financing, whereby the Bridge
Investors received in connection therewith $2,500,000 in 10% senior
subordinated notes and the Bridge Warrants which are mandatorily exercisable
upon the consummation of the sale of the securities in the Company Offering.
The Company received net cash proceeds from the Bridge Financing of
approximately $2,250,000 after giving effect to commissions and expenses.
In July 1996, Charles N. Finkel, the Company's Chief Executive Officer,
deposited $400,000 in a Brazilian bank to secure the guarantee of a $400,000
loan from such bank to the Company. In addition, Mr. Finkel loaned $100,000 to
the Company, which loan bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum. Such loans
shall be repaid in full from the proceeds of the Company Offering, at which
time the $400,000 deposited by Mr. Finkel shall be released by the bank.
Of the 3,500,000 shares of Company Common Stock currently issued and
outstanding, 2,500,000 shares are owned by Tecpo and 1,000,000 shares are
owned by Fugrow Investments, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation
("Fugrow"). Tecpo and Fugrow are wholly-owned by Mayfair Limited Partnership,
a Delaware limited partnership, the sole general partner of which is Mayfair
Company, a Delaware corporation. Charles N. Finkel, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, is the sole limited partner of Mayfair
Limited Partnership and the sole stockholder of Mayfair Company.
All related party transactions were on terms no less favorable than those
with unaffiliated third parties. All future transactions will be on terms no
less favorable than the Company could obtain based upon negotiations with
unaffiliated third parties in arms-length transactions.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share, and 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01
per share. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are 3,500,000 shares of
Common Stock outstanding, held of record by two stockholders, and no shares of
Preferred Stock outstanding.
The following summary description of the Company's Common Stock and
Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's
Articles and Bylaws, copies of which are included as exhibits to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
COMMON STOCK
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting
rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors
standing for election. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably
such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of
funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights
of any outstanding Preferred Stock. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive
ratably the net assets of the Company available after the payment of all debts
and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding
Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,
redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are,
and the shares offered by the Company in the Company Offering and this
Offering will be, when issued and paid for, fully paid and nonassessable. The
rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common Stock are subject to,
42
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATE PAGE FOR BRIDGE INVESTORS PROSPECTUS]
and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any
series of Preferred Stock which the Company may designate and issue in the
future.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors has the authority, without further action of the
stockholders of the Company, to issue up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix or alter the designations,
preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the
shares of each such series thereof, including the dividend rights, dividend
rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption (including
sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences
and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such
series.
The Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, can issue Preferred
Stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting
power of holders of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the
Company. The Company has no present plans to issue any shares of Preferred
Stock.
COMPANY OFFERED REDEEMABLE WARRANTS
The Company Offered Redeemable Warrants will be issued in registered form
pursuant to an agreement, dated the date of the Company Prospectus (the
"Warrant Agreement"), between the Company, the Underwriters and American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company (the "Warrant Agent"). The following discussion of
certain terms and provisions of the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the
Statement of Rights, Terms, and Conditions for each Company Offered Redeemable
Warrant which forms a part of the Warrant Agreement. A form of the certificate
representing the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants and a form of the Warrant
Agreement have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part.
One Company Offered Redeemable Warrant represents the right of the
registered holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $7.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the "Purchase Price"). The
Company Offered Redeemable Warrants will be entitled to the benefit of
adjustments in their respective Purchase Prices and in the number of shares of
Common Stock and/or other securities deliverable upon the exercise thereof in
the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation or merger.
Unless previously called for repurchase, the Company Offered Redeemable
Warrants may be exercised immediately, until the close of business on ,
2001 (five years from the date of the Company Prospectus) (the "Expiration
Date"). On or after the Expiration Date, the Company Offered Redeemable
Warrants automatically become wholly void and of no value. The Company may at
any time extend the Expiration Date of all outstanding Company Offered
Redeemable Warrants, for such increased period of times as it may determine.
The Company Offered Redeemable Warrants may be exercised at the office of the
Warrant Agent.
The Company has the right at any time beginning , 1997 (one year from
the date of the Company Prospectus), or such earlier date as the
Representative may determine, to repurchase the Company Offered Redeemable
Warrants at a price of $.10 each, by written notice mailed 30 days prior to
the repurchase date to each Company Offered Redeemable Warrant holder at his
address as it appears on the books of the Warrant Agent. Such notice may only
be given within three days following any period of 20 consecutive trading days
during which the high closing bid or trading price of the shares of Common
Stock (if then traded on the Nasdaq-SCM or on a national securities exchange)
equals or exceeds $10.50 per share, subject to adjustments for stock
dividends, stock splits and the like. If Company Offered Redeemable Warrants
are called for repurchase, they must be exercised prior to the close of
business on the day immediately preceding the date of any such repurchase or
the right to purchase the applicable shares of Common Stock is forfeited.
43
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATE PAGE FOR BRIDGE INVESTORS PROSPECTUS]
No Company Offered Redeemable Warrant will be exercisable unless at the time
of exercise the Company had filed with the Commission a current prospectus
covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company
Offered Redeemable Warrant and such shares of Common Stock have been
registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of
the state of residence of the holder of such Company Offered Redeemable
Warrant. The Company will use its best efforts to have all such shares of
Common Stock so registered or qualified on or before the exercise date and to
maintain a current prospectus relating thereto until the expiration of the
Company Offered Redeemable Warrants, subject to the terms of the Warrant
Agreement. While it is the Company's intention to do so, there is no assurance
that it will be able to do so.
No holder, as such, of the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of
Common Stock for any purposes whatsoever until such Company Offered Redeemable
Warrants have been duly exercised and the Purchase Price has been paid in
full.
TRANSFER AND WARRANT AGENT
The Company's transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock and Warrant
Agent for the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants is American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company.
LIMITED LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Under the FBCA, a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to
the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or
failure to act unless (i) the director breached or failed to perform his
duties as a director and (ii) the director's breach of, or failure to perform,
those duties constitutes: (1) a violation of the criminal law, unless the
director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (2) a transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or
indirectly, (3) a circumstance under which an unlawful distribution is made,
(4) in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a stockholder, conscious
disregard for the best interest of the corporation or willful misconduct, or
(5) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the corporation
or stockholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad
faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful
disregard of human rights, safety, or property. A corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any director or officer against any liability
asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in his or her capacity
or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the
FBCA.
The Articles of the Company provide that the Company shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, as amended from time to time, indemnify
all officers and directors of the Company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
FLORIDA LAW AND CERTAIN ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAW PROVISIONS
The Company is subject to (i) Section 607.0901 of the FBCA, which generally
requires supermajority approval by disinterested directors or stockholders of
certain specified transactions between a corporation and holders of more than
10% of the outstanding shares of the corporation (or their affiliates), and
(ii) Section 607.0902 of the FBCA, which generally provides that shares
acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting
rights unless such voting rights are approved by a majority vote of the
corporation's disinterested stockholders.
In addition, certain provisions of the Company's Articles summarized in the
following paragraphs may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may
delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a
44
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATE PAGE FOR BRIDGE INVESTORS PROSPECTUS]
stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that
might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by
stockholders.
Classified Board of Directors. The Articles provide for the Board of
Directors to be divided into three classes of directors serving staggered
three-year terms. As a result, approximately one-third of the Board of
Directors will be elected each year. These provisions, when coupled with the
provision of the Articles authorizing only the Board of Directors to fill
vacant directorships or increase the size of the Board, may deter a
stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining
control of the Board of Directors by filling the vacancies created by such
removal with its own nominees.
Stockholder Action. The Articles provide that stockholders may not take
action by written consent, but only at duly called annual or special meetings
or stockholders.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director
Nominations. The Articles provide that stockholders seeking to bring business
before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for
election as directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, must
provide timely notice thereof in writing. To be timely, a stockholder's notice
must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices
of the Company not less than 120 days nor more than 180 days prior to the date
of the Company's notice of annual meeting provided with respect to the
previous year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if no annual meeting
was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been
changed to be more than 30 calendar days earlier than the date contemplated by
the previous year's proxy statement, notice by the stockholder, to be timely,
must be received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following
the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such
public disclosure was made, whichever is first. The Articles also specify
certain requirements for a stockholder's notice to be in proper written form.
These provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before the
stockholders at an annual or special meeting or from making nominations for
directors at an annual or special meeting.
Authorized But Unissued Shares. The authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without
stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of
corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional
capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of
authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and Preferred Stock may
enable the Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current
management which could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to
obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender, offer,
merger or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of the Company's
management.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon completion of the Company Offering, the Company will have outstanding
5,450,000 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the 250,000 shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants but without giving
effect to shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of (i) the Company
Offered Redeemable Warrants, (ii) the Underwriters' Warrants, (iii) the
Underwriters' Over-allotment Option, or (iv) options granted under the Plan.
Of such 5,450,000 shares of Common Stock, 1,950,000 shares, consisting of the
Company Offered Shares plus 250,000 shares to be issued upon exercise of the
Bridge Warrants (plus any additional shares sold upon the exercise of the
Underwriters' Over-allotment Option), will be freely tradeable without
restriction or further registration under the Act, except for any shares held
by "affiliates" of the Company within the meaning of the Act which shares will
be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.
The Bridge Investors have agreed with the Representative not to sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Bridge Warrants for a period of 12 months after the date of the
consummation of the Company Offering and exercise of the Bridge Warrants
without the written consent of the Representative. The Representative may, in
its sole discretion, and at any time without notice, release all or any
portion of the shares owned by the Bridge Investors from such restrictions.
45
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATE PAGE FOR BRIDGE INVESTORS PROSPECTUS]
The remaining 3,500,000 Restricted Shares were issued by the Company in
private transactions in reliance upon one or more exemptions contained in the
Act. The Restricted Shares are deemed to be "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Act and may be publicly sold
only if registered under the Act or sold pursuant to exemptions therefrom. As
of the date of this prospectus, all of the Restricted Shares will have been
held for more than two years and are eligible for public sale in accordance
with the requirements of Rule 144, as described below. Mr. Charles N. Finkel,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and beneficial owner of
all shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Company
Offering, however, has agreed with the Representative not to offer, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any of his shares for a period of 24
months after the date of the Company Prospectus, without the Representative's
consent. In addition, Mr. Finkel has agreed with the Representative not to
offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of 800,000 shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by him for a period of ten years after the date of
the Company Prospectus, without the Representative's consent; provided,
however, that such restrictions will be released with respect to 500,000 of
such shares if the Company reports income before income taxes in excess of
$4,000,000 for fiscal 1997 and with respect to the remaining 300,000 shares if
the Company reports income before income taxes in excess of $7,000,000 for
fiscal 1998. The Representative may, in its sole discretion, and at any time
without notice, release all or any portion of the shares owned by Mr. Finkel
from such restrictions.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, subject to the
satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person, including an affiliate of
the Company (or persons whose shares are aggregated with an affiliate), who
has owned restricted shares of Common Stock beneficially for at least two
years is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares
that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding
shares of the same class or, if the common stock is quoted on Nasdaq-SCM, the
average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the
sale. A person who has not been an affiliate of the Company for at least three
months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned shares of
the Company for at least three years is entitled to sell such shares under
Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above. The
Commission is currently considering a proposal to reduce the Rule 144 holding
period for restricted securities to one year.
The Company intends to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act to register shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan,
thereby permitting the resale of such shares by non-affiliates in the public
market without restriction under the Securities Act. The Company has reserved
up to 450,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan. As of the
date of this Prospectus, options to purchase 355,000 of such reserved shares
of Common Stock were outstanding under the Plan. See "Management--1996 Stock
Option Plan."
Prior to the Company Offering, there has been no public market for the
Common Stock or the Company Offered Redeemable Warrants, and no predictions
can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of the Common Stock under
Rule 144 will have on the market price of such securities from time to time.
Sales of substantial amounts of the Company's securities in the public market
could have a significant adverse effect on prevailing market prices and could
impair the Company's future ability to raise capital through the sale of its
equity securities. See "Risk Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 607.0850(1) of the FBCA permits a Florida corporation to indemnify
any person who may be a party to any third party proceeding by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding
(including any appeal thereof) 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.
Section 607.0850(2) of the FBCA permits a Florida corporation to indemnify
any person who may be a party to a derivative action if such person acted in
any of the capacities set forth in the preceding paragraph, against expenses
and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgement of the board of
directors, the estimated expenses of litigating the proceeding to conclusion,
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement
of such proceeding including appeals, provided that the person acted under the
standards set forth in the preceding paragraph. However, no indemnification
shall be made for any claim, issue or matter for which such person is found to
be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court determines that,
despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for
such expenses which the court deems proper.
Section 607.0850(4) of the FBCA provides that any indemnification made under
the above provisions, unless pursuant to a court determination, may be made
only after a determination that the person to be indemnified has met the
standard of conduct described above. This determination is to be made by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of the disinterested directors of the
board of directors, by independent legal counsel, or by a majority vote of the
disinterested stockholders. The board of directors also may designate a
special committee of disinterested directors to make this determination.
Section 607.0850(3), however, provides that a Florida corporation must
indemnify any director or officer of a corporation who has been successful in
the defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 607.0850(1) or (2), or in
the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, against expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending a civil or criminal
proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition
thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such director
or officer is not entitled to indemnification under Section 607.0850.
Section 607.0850 of the FBCA further provides that the indemnification
provisions contained therein are not exclusive and it specifically empowers a
corporation to make any other further indemnification or advancement of
expenses under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, for actions in an official capacity and in other
capacities while holding an office. However, a corporation cannot indemnify or
advance expenses if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that
the actions of the director or officer were material to the adjudicated cause
of action and the director or officer (a) violated criminal law, unless the
director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was not
unlawful, (b) derived an improper personal benefit from a transaction, (c) was
or is a director in a circumstance where the liability under Section 607.0834
(relating to unlawful distributions) applies, or (d) engages in willful
misconduct or conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in
a proceeding by or in right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor or in a proceeding by or in right of a stockholder.
The Company's Articles provide for the obligatory indemnification of
directors and officers and the discretionary indemnification of employees and
agents. The general effect of the Articles provisions is to require
II-1
<PAGE>
indemnification of any director or officer against any liability arising from
any action or suit to the fullest extent provided, authorized, allowed or not
prohibited by the FBCA. Advances against expenses are required to be made under
the Articles to any officer or director of the Company and may be made to any
employee or agent of the Company, and the indemnity coverage provided
thereunder includes liabilities under the federal securities laws as well as in
other contexts.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company and the Underwriters have
agreed to indemnify each other under certain circumstances and conditions
against and from certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Reference is made to Section 10 of the Underwriting Agreement filed as
Exhibit 1.1 hereto and Article X of the Company's Articles filed as Exhibit 3.1
hereto.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
--The undersigned Registrant in all instances will provide to the
Underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by
the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
--Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
undersigned Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the undersigned Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the undersigned Registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
II-3
<PAGE>
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the undersigned 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 whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the 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 of
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
a registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the
form of prospectus filed by the undersigned Registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed
to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared
effective; and
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, 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.
--The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information in the registration statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-
effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial
bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

delivered under the Act, the Company (i) will comply with all requirements
imposed upon it by the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder to the extent necessary to permit the continuance of sales of or
dealings in the Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the
Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and (ii) will not file with the
Commission any prospectus or amendment referred to in the first sentence of
section 1(a) hereof, any amendment or supplement to such prospectus or any
amendment to the Registration Statement as to which the Underwriters shall not
previously have been advised and furnished with a copy for a reasonable period
of time prior to the proposed filing and as to which filing the Representative
shall not have given its consent. The Company will prepare and file with the
Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission,
promptly upon request by the Underwriters or counsel to the Underwriters, any
amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the
Prospectus that may be necessary or advisable in connection with the
distribution of the Shares by the Underwriters, and will use its best efforts to
cause any such amendment to the Registration Statement to be declared effective
by the Commission as promptly as possible. The Company will advise the
Underwriters, promptly after receiving notice thereof, of the time when the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or declared
effective or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto has been
filed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Underwriters of each such
filing or effectiveness.
(b) The Company will advise the Underwriters, promptly after receiving
notice or obtaining knowledge thereof, of (i) the issuance by the Commission of
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any
order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) the suspension of the
qualification of any Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, (iii)
the institution, threat or contemplation of any proceeding for any such purpose
or (iv) any request made by the Commission for amending the Registration

information. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any such stop order and, if any such stop order is issued, to obtain the
withdrawal thereof as promptly as possible.
(c) The Company will, in cooperation with counsel to the Underwriters,
arrange for the qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under the
-13-

blue sky or securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may
designate and will continue such qualifications in effect for as long as may be
necessary to complete the distribution of the Securities.
(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is
required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which
the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, or if for any other reason it is necessary at
any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the
rules or regulations of the Commission thereunder, the Company will promptly
notify the Underwriters thereof and, subject to section 4(a) hereof, will
prepare and file with the Commission, at the Company's expense, an amendment to
the Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus that
corrects such statement or omission or effects such compliance.
(e) So long as any warrants are outstanding, the Company shall use its
best efforts to cause post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement to
become effective in compliance with the Act and without any lapse of time
between the effectiveness of any such post-effective amendments and cause a copy
of each Prospectus, as then amended, to be delivered to each holder of record of
a Warrant and to furnish to the Underwriters and any dealer as many copies of
each such Prospectus as the Underwriters or dealer may reasonably request. The
Company shall not call for redemption of the Warrants unless a registration
statement covering the securities underlying the Warrants has been declared
effective by the Commission and remains current at least until the date fixed
for redemption. In addition, for so long as any Warrant is outstanding, the
Company will promptly notify the Underwriter of any material change in the
business, financial condition or prospects of the Company. So long as any of the
Warrants remain outstanding, the Company will timely deliver and supply to its
Warrant agent sufficient copies of the Company's current Prospectus, as will
enable such Warrant agent to deliver a copy of such Prospectus to any Warrant or
other holder where such Prospectus delivery is by law required to be made.
(f) The Company will, without charge, provide to the Underwriters and
to counsel for the Underwriters (i) as many signed copies of the registration
statement originally filed with respect to the Securities and each amendment
thereto (in each case including exhibits thereto) as the Underwriters may
reasonably request, (ii) as many conformed copies of such registration statement
and each amendment thereto (in each case without exhibits thereto) as the
Underwriters may reasonably request and (iii) so long as a prospectus relating
to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, as many copies of
each Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto as the Underwriters may reasonably request. The Company will timely
file, and will provide or cause to be provided to the Underwriters and counsel
to the Underwriters a copy

463 under the Act.

immediately notify the Underwriter to such effect.

suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto has been issued, and no proceedings for that purpose have been
instituted or threatened or, to the best knowledge of such counsel, are
contemplated by the Commission;
(12) the registration statement originally filed with respect to the
Shares and each amendment thereto and the Prospectus (in each case, other than
the financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical
information contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion)
comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of
the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and
(13) the Company is not subject to registration as an "investment
company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
-24-
<PAGE>
Such counsel shall also state that such counsel has participated in the
preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and that nothing
has come to such counsel's attention that has caused them to believe that the
Registration Statement, at the time it became effective (including the
information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of
effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A(b), if applicable), 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 statements therein not misleading or
that the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the Firm Closing Date, contained an
untrue statement of 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, not misleading.
In rendering any such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters of
fact, to the extent such counsel deems proper, on certificates of responsible
officers of the Company and public officials, copies of which certificates will
be provided to the Underwriters, and, as to matters of the laws of certain
jurisdictions, on the opinions of other counsel to the Company, which opinions
shall also be delivered to the Underwriters, in form and substance acceptable to
the Representative, if such other counsel expressly authorize such reliance and
counsel to the Company expressly states in their opinion that such counsel's and
the Underwriters' reliance upon such opinion is justified.
References to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus in this
paragraph (b) shall include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of
such opinion.
(c) The Underwriters shall have received from Grant Thornton, L.L.P. a
letter dated the Effective Date and a letter dated the Firm Closing Date, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect that (i) they
are independent public accountants with respect to the Company within the
meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder; (ii) in
their opinion, the financial statements examined by them and included in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the
applicable rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) based upon procedures set
forth in detail in such letter, nothing has come to their attention which causes
them to believe that (A) the financial information set forth under "Summary
Financial Information" in the Prospectus was not determined on a basis
substantially consistent with that used in determining the corresponding amounts
in the financial statements included in the Registration Statement or (B) at a
specified date not more than five days prior to the date of this agreement,
there has been any change in the capital stock of the Company or any increase in
the long-term debt of the Company or any decrease in working capital or net
assets as compared with the amounts shown in the December 31, 1995 balance sheet
included in the Registration Statement or, during the period from January 1,
1994 to a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of this
agreement, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period
in the preceding quarter, in revenues, or any increase in certain specified
expense items of the Company, except in all instances for
-25-
<PAGE>
changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus disclose have occurred or may occur; and (iv) in addition to the
examination referred to in their opinions and the limited procedures referred to
in clause (iii) above, they have carried out certain specified procedures, not
constituting an audit, with respect to certain amounts, percentages and
financial information which are included in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus and which are specified by the Underwriters, and have found such
amounts, percentages and financial information to be in agreement with the
relevant accounting, financial and other records of the Company identified in
such letter. References to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus in
this paragraph (c) with respect to the letter referred to above shall include
any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of such letter.
(d) The representations and warranties of the Company contained in
this agreement shall be true and correct as if made on and as of the Firm
Closing Date; the Registration Statement shall not include any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and the Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented as of the Firm Closing Date, shall not include any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; and the Company shall have performed all covenants and
agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied
at or prior to the Firm Closing Date.
(e) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto shall have been issued, and no proceedings
for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened or contemplated by the
Commission.
(f) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is
given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there shall not have
been any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective
material adverse change, in the business, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise), earnings or prospects of the Company, except in each case as
described in or contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or
supplement thereto).
(g) The Underwriters shall have received a certificate, dated the Firm
Closing Date, of the Chief Executive Officer and the Secretary of the Company to
the effect set forth in subparagraphs (d) through (f) above.
(h) The Common Stock shall be qualified in such jurisdictions as the
Underwriters may reasonably request pursuant to section 5(c), and each such
qualification shall be in effect and not subject to any stop order or other
proceeding on the Firm Closing Date.
-26-
<PAGE>
(i) The Company shall have executed and delivered to the Underwriters
the Underwriters' Warrant Agreement and a certificate or certificates evidencing
the Underwriters' Warrants, in each case in a form acceptable to the
Underwriters.
(j) On or before the Firm Closing Date, the Underwriters and counsel
for the Underwriters shall have received such further certificates, documents,
letters or other information as they may have reasonably requested from the
Company.
All opinions, certificates, letters and documents delivered pursuant to
this agreement will comply with the provisions hereof only if they are
reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to the Underwriters and counsel
for the Underwriters. The Company shall furnish to the Underwriters such
conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents in such
quantities as the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably
request.
The respective obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for
any Option Securities shall be subject, in its discretion, to each of the
foregoing conditions to purchase the Firm Securities, except that all references
to the Firm Securities and the Firm Closing Date shall be deemed to refer to
such Option Securities and the related Option Closing Date, respectively.
10. Indemnification and Contribution.
--------------------------------
(a) The Company and the Selling Shareholder agree to indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of section 15 of the Act or section 20 of the
1934 Act against any losses, claims, damages, amounts paid in settlement or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or such controlling
person 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:
(1) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or the
Selling Shareholder contained in section 1 of this agreement,
(2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in (A) the Registration Statement originally filed with respect
to the Securities or any amendment thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any application or
other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, executed by the Company
or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed
in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Securities under the Blue Sky or
securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission or any securities
association or securities exchange (each an "Application"), or
-27-
<PAGE>
(3) the omission or alleged omission to state in such Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Application a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse, as incurred, the Underwriters and such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Underwriters or such controlling person in connection with investigating,
defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any
loss, claim, damage, liability, action, investigation, litigation or proceeding;
provided, however, that the Company and the Selling Shareholder will 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or
any amendment thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any Application in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Selling
Shareholder by any Underwriter specifically for use therein. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise
have. The Company and the Selling Shareholder will not, without the prior
written consent of the Underwriter, settle or compromise or consent to the entry
of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding
in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any
Underwriter or any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of
section 15 of the Act or section 20 of the 1934 Act is a party to such claim,
action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent
includes an unconditional release of the Underwriters and each such controlling
person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the
Selling Shareholder, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of section 15 of the Act or section 20 of the Exchange Act against,
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such
director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act or
otherwise, but only insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus or
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Application, or
(ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto,
any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any Application, 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company and the Selling Shareholder by Underwriter specifically for use therein;
and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will
reimburse, as
-28-
<PAGE>
incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, the
Selling Shareholder or any such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or any action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this section
10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if
a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
this section 10, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but
the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
section 10. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party,
and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of
its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not
be liable to such indemnified party under this section for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnified
party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party
has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party; provided that if the indemnified party is an Underwriter
or a person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Act, the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party
if (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in
writing by the indemnifying party or (ii) the named parties to any such action
(including any impleaded parties) include bot the Underwriter or such
controlling person and the indemnifying party and, in the judgment of the
Representative, it is advisable for such Underwriter or such controlling persons
to be represented by separate counsel (in which case the indemnifying party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the
Underwriter or such controlling person, it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for all
such Underwriters and controlling persons, which firm shall be designated in
writing by the Underwriters). No settlement of any action against an
indemnified party shall be made without the consent of the indemnifying party,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld in light of all factors of importance
to such indemnifying party.
-29-
<PAGE>
11. Contribution.
------------
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the Act in
any case in which (i) any Underwriter makes claim for indemnification pursuant
to Section 10 hereof but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final
judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of
time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that
the express provisions of Section 10 provide for indemnification in such case,
or (ii) contribution under the Act may be required on the part of any
Underwriter, then the Company and each person who controls the Company, in the
aggregate, and any such Underwriter shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (which shall, for
all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to all reasonable
costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees) in either
such case (after contribution from others) in which proportions that all such
Underwriters are responsible in the aggregate for the portion of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities represented by the percentage that the
underwriting discount per share of Common Stock and/or Redeemable Warrant
appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bears to the public offering price
appearing thereon, and the Company shall be responsible for the remaining
portion, provided, however, that if such allocation is not permitted by
applicable law then the relative fault of the Company and the Underwriters and
controlling persons, in the aggregate, in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such damages and other relevant equitable
considerations shall also be considered. The relative fault shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether in the case of an untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact, such statement or
omission relates to information supplied by the Company, or the Underwriters and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the
Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if the respective
obligations of the Company and the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this
Section 11 were to be determined by pro rata or per capita allocation of the
aggregate damages (even if the Underwriters in the aggregate were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of
this Section 11 and that the contribution of each contributing Underwriter shall
not be in excess of its proportionate share (based on the ratio of the number of
Securities purchased by such Underwriter to the number of Securities purchased
by all contributing Underwriters) of the portion of such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities for which the Underwriters are responsible. No person guilty of a
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. As used in this paragraph, the word "Company"
includes any officer, director, or person who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act. If the full amount of the contribution
specified in this paragraph is not permitted by law, then each Underwriter and
each person who controls each Underwriter shall be entitled to contribution from
the Company, its officers, directors and controlling persons to the full extent
permitted by law. The foregoing contribution agreement shall in no way affect
the contribution liabilities of any persons having liability under Section 11 of
the Act other than the Company and the Underwriters. No contribution shall be
requested with regard to the settlement of any matter from any party who did not
consent to the settlement; provided, however, that such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld in light of all factors of importance to such party.
12. Substitution of Underwriters.
----------------------------
If any Underwriter shall for any reason not permitted hereunder cancel
its obligations to purchase the Firm Securities hereunder, or shall fail to take
up and pay for the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite names in
Schedule I hereto upon tender of such Firm Securities in accordance with the
terms hereof, then:
(a) If the aggregate number of Firm Securities which such Underwriter
or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total
number of Firm Securities, the other Underwriter shall be obligated to purchase
the Firm Securities which such defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to
purchase.
(b) If any Underwriter so defaults and the agreed number of Firm
Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occurs is more than
10% of the total number of Firm Securities, the remaining Underwriter shall have
the right to take up and pay for the Firm Securities which the defaulting
Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase. If such remaining Underwriter does
not, at the Firm Closing Date, take up and pay for the Firm Securities which the
defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase, the time for delivery of
the Firm Securities shall be extended to the next business day to allow the
remaining Underwriter the privilege of substituting within twenty-four hours
(including nonbusiness hours) another underwriter or underwriters satisfactory
to the Company. If no such underwriter or underwriters shall have been
substituted as aforesaid, within such twenty-four hour period, the time of
delivery of the Firm Securities may, at the option of the Company, be again
extended to the next following business day, if necessary, to allow the Company
the privilege of finding within twenty-four hours (including nonbusiness hours)
another underwriter or underwriters to purchase the Firm Securities which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If it
shall be arranged for the remaining Underwriter or substituted Underwriters to
take up the Firm Securities of the defaulting Underwriter as provided in this
section, (i) the Company or the Representative shall have the right to postpone
the time of delivery for a period of not more
-30-
<PAGE>
than seven business days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be
made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other
document or arrangements, and the Company agrees promptly to file any amendments
to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus which may thereby
be made necessary, and (ii) the respective numbers of Firm Securities to be
purchased by the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall be
taken as the basis of the underwriting obligation for all purposes of this
agreement.
If in the event of a default by any Underwriter and the remaining
Underwriter shall not take up and pay for all the Firm Securities agreed to be
purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or substitute another underwriter or
underwriters as aforesaid, the Company shall not find or shall not elect to seek
another underwriter or underwriters for such Firm Securities as aforesaid, then
this Agreement shall terminate.
If, following exercise of the option provided in Section 3(c) hereof,
any Underwriter or Underwriters shall for any reason not permitted hereunder
cancel their obligations to purchase Option Securities at the Option Closing
Date, or shall fail to take up and pay for the number of Option Securities,
which it became obligated to purchase at the Option Closing Date upon tender of
such Option Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, then the remaining
Underwriters or substituted Underwriters may take up and pay for the Option
Units of the defaulting Underwriters in the manner provided in Section 12(b)
hereof. If the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall not
take up and pay for all such Option Securities, the Underwriters shall be
entitled to purchase the number of Option Securities for which there is no
default or, at their election, the option shall terminate, the exercise thereof
shall be of no effect.
As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any person
substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. In the event of termination,
there shall be no liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter to the
Company, provided that the provisions of this Section 12 shall not in any event
affect the liability of any defaulting Underwriter to the Company arising out of
such default.
13. Survival. The respective representations, warranties, agreements,
--------
covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Company, any of its officers
or directors, or the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters 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 (i) any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Selling Shareholder,
any of its officers or directors, any Underwriter or any controlling person
referred to in section 10 hereof and (ii) delivery of and payment for the
Securities. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other
statements set forth in sections 7 and 10 hereof shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this agreement.
-31-
<PAGE>
14. Termination.
-----------
(a) This agreement may be terminated with respect to the Firm
Securities or any Option Shares in the sole discretion of the Representative by
notice to the Company and the Selling Shareholder given prior to the Firm
Closing Date or the related Option Closing Date, respectively, in the event that
the Company or the Selling Shareholder shall have failed, refused or been unable
to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be
performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or if at or prior to the
Firm Closing Date or such Option Closing Date, respectively,
(1) the Company or the Selling Shareholder sustains a loss by reason
of explosion, fire, flood, accident or other calamity, which, in the opinion of
the Underwriters, substantially affects the value of the properties of the
Company or the Selling Shareholder or which materially interferes with the
operation of the business of the Company regardless of whether such loss shall
have been insured; there shall have been any material adverse change, or any
development involving a prospective material adverse change (including, without
limitation, a change in management or control of the Company), in the business,
operations, condition (financial or otherwise), earnings or prospects of the
Company, except in each case as described in or contemplated by the Prospectus
(exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto);
(2) any action, suit or proceeding shall be threatened, instituted or
pending, at law or in equity, against the Company or the Selling Shareholder, by
any person or by any federal, state, foreign or other governmental or regulatory
commission, board or agency wherein any unfavorable result or decision could
materially adversely affect the business, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise), earnings or prospects of the Company;
(3) trading in the Common Stock or Warrants shall have been suspended
by the Commission, the NASD or the BSE, or trading in securities generally on
the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum
prices shall have been established on either such exchange or quotation system;
(4) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York
or United States authorities; or
(5) there shall have been (A) an outbreak of hostilities between the
United States and any foreign power (or, in the case of any ongoing hostilities,
a material escalation thereof), (B) an outbreak of any other insurrection or
armed conflict involving the United States or (C) any other calamity or crisis
or material change in financial, political or economic conditions, having an
effect on the financial markets that, in any case referred to in this clause
(5), in the sole judgment of the Representative makes it
-32-
<PAGE>
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery
of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement; or
(6) the Company's and Selling Shareholders' counsel or independent
public accountants are unable to deliver any opinion, report or certificate
relating to this offering which is qualified in any material respect (other
than, in the case of this accountant's audit report, qualification with respect
to the viability of the Company as a going concern).
(b) Termination of this agreement pursuant to this section 14 shall be
without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in section
6(b) and section 10 hereof.

end hereof properly executed) at the principal executive office of the Company

writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the
Company); (ii) payment to the Company of the exercise price then in effect for
the number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants specified in the above-
mentioned purchase form together with applicable stock transfer taxes, if any;

be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of one year
commencing on , 1996, except that it may be transferred to successors
of the Holder, and may be assigned in whole or in part to any person who is an
officer of the Underwriters or a partner, officer of any other member of the
selling group during such period. Any such assignment shall be effected by the
Holder by (i) completing and executing the transfer form at the end hereof and
(ii) surrendering this Underwriters' Warrant with such duly completed and
executed transfer form for cancellation, accompanied by funds sufficient to pay

3. Covenants of the Company.
------------------------
(a) The Company covenants and agrees that all Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of this Underwriters' Warrant will, upon issuance thereof and
payment therefor in
4
<PAGE>

the Warrants underlying this Underwriters' Warrant will, upon the issuance
thereof and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Warrant
Agreement, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and no
personal liability will attach to the Holder thereof by reason of being such a
Holder, other than as set forth herein.
(b) The Company covenants and agrees that during the period within
which this Underwriters' Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times
have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of this Underwriters' Warrant and the Warrants included
therein.
(c) The Company covenants and agrees that for so long as the
Securities shall be outstanding (unless the Securities shall no longer be
registered under Paragraph 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriters' Warrant and the Warrants
included therein, to be included on the Nasdaq Stock Market or listed on a
national securities exchange.
4. No Rights as Stockholder. This Underwriters' Warrant shall not
------------------------
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to
those expressed in this Underwriters' Warrant and are not enforceable against
the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Registration Rights.
-------------------
(a) During the period of four years from , 1997,
the Company shall advise the Holder, whether the Holder holds this Underwriters'
Warrant or has exercised this
5
<PAGE>
Underwriters' Warrant and holds Common Stock and Warrants, or Common Stock
underlying the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares") , by written notice at least 30
days prior to the filing of any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or of any new registration statement or post-effective amendment
thereto under the Act, covering any securities of the Company, for its own
account or for the account of others, and upon the request of the Holder made
during such four-year period, include in any such post-effective amendment or
registration statement such information as may be required to permit a public
offering of any of the Common Stock or Warrants issuable hereunder, and/or the
Warrant Shares (the "Registrable Securities"); provided, that this Paragraph
5(a) shall not apply to any registration statement filed pursuant to Paragraph 5
(b) hereof or to registrations of shares in connection with an employee benefit
plan or a merger, consolidation or other comparable acquisition or solely for
registration of non-convertible debt or preferred equity securities of the
Company; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder
shall have no right to include any Registrable Securities in any new
registration statement or post-effective amendment thereto unless as of the
effective date thereof the Registration Statement (as it may hereafter be
amended or supplemented) or any new registration statement under which the
Registrable Securities are registered shall have ceased to be effective or the
prospectus contained in such Registration Statement shall have ceased to be
current. The Company shall supply prospectuses in order to facilitate the
public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities, use its best
efforts to register and qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
such states in which the Common Stock and Warrants are offered and sold in the
Public Offering as such Holder reasonably designates, furnish indemnification in
the manner provided in Paragraph 6 hereof, and do any and all other acts and
6
<PAGE>
things which may be necessary to enable such Holder to consummate the public
sale of the Registrable Securities; provided, that, without limiting the
foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general
consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do
business under the laws of any such jurisdiction. The Holder shall furnish
information reasonably requested by the Company in accordance with such post-
effective amendments or registration statements, including its intentions with
respect thereto, and shall furnish indemnification as set forth in Paragraph 6.
The Company shall continue to advise the Holders of the Registrable Securities
of its intention to file a registration statement or amendment pursuant to this
Paragraph 5(a) until the earliest of (i) , 2001; or (ii)
such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been registered and sold
under the Act; or (iii) such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been
otherwise transferred, new certificates for them not bearing a legend
restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by the Company and
subsequent public distribution of them shall not require registration or
qualification of them under the Act; or (iv) such time as in the opinion of
legal counsel for the Company, the Registrable Securities may be offered and
sold by the holders thereof without being registered under the Act and such
securities, upon receipt by the purchasers thereof pursuant to such sale, will
not constitute "restricted securities" as such term is defined in Rule 144 under
the Act.
(b) If any 51% holder (as defined below) shall give notice to the
Company at any time during the four-year period beginning one year from
, 1996 to the effect that such Holder desires to register under the Act any
Registrable Securities, under such circumstances that a public distribution
(within the meaning of the Act) of any such Registrable Securities will be
involved (and the Registration Statement or any new registration statement under
which such
7
<PAGE>
Registrable Securities are registered shall have ceased to be effective or the
Prospectus contained therein shall have ceased to be current) , then the Company
will as promptly as practicable after receipt of such notice, but not later than
30 days after receipt of such notice, at the Company's option, file a post
effective amendment to the current Registration Statement or a new registration
statement pursuant to the Act to the end that the Registrable Securities may be
publicly sold under the Act as promptly as practicable thereafter and the
Company will use its best efforts to cause such registration to become and
remain effective as provided herein (including the taking of such steps as are
reasonably necessary to obtain the removal of any stop order); provided, that
such 51% holder shall furnish the Company with appropriate information in
connection therewith as the Company may reasonably request; and provided,
further, that the Company shall not be required to file such a post-effective
amendment or registration statement pursuant to this Paragraph 5(b) on more than
two occasions; and provided, further, that the registration rights of the 51%
holder under this Paragraph 5(b) shall be subject to the "piggyback"
registration rights of other holders of securities of the Company to include
such securities in any registration statement or post-effective amendment filed
pursuant to this Paragraph 5(b). The Company will maintain such registration
statement or post-effective amendment current under the Act for a period of at
least nine months from the effective date thereof. The Company shall supply
prospectuses in order to facilitate the public sale of the Registrable
Securities, use its best efforts to register and qualify any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in such states in which the Common Stock and Warrants are
offered and sold in the Public Offering as such holder reasonably designates and
furnish indemnification in the manner provided in Paragraph 6 hereof, provided
that, without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to
execute or file any general consent to service of
8
<PAGE>
process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of
any such jurisdiction.
(c) The Holder may, in accordance with Paragraphs 5(a) or (b), at his
or its option, and subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 1(a)
hereof, request the registration of any of the Registrable Securities in a
filing made by the Company prior to the acquisition of the Securities upon
exercise of this Underwriters' Warrant. The Holder may thereafter exercise this
Underwriters' Warrant at any time or from time to time subsequent to the
effectiveness under the Act of the registration statement which relates to the
Common Stock underlying the Underwriters' Warrants and Warrants included
therein.
(d) The term "51% holder," as used in this Paragraph 5, shall include
any owner or combination of owners of Underwriters' Warrants or Registrable
Securities if the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares
included in and underlying the Underwriters' Warrants and Registrable Securities
held of record by it or them, would constitute a majority of the aggregate of
such shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares underlying the Underwriters'
Warrant and Registrable Securities as of the date of the initial issuance of the
Underwriters' Warrant.
(e) The following provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall also be
applicable:
(i) Within ten (10) days after receiving any notice pursuant to
Paragraph 5(b), the Company shall give notice to the other Holders of
Underwriters' Warrants or Registrable Securities, advising that the Company is
proceeding with such post-effective amendment or registration and offering to
include therein the Registrable Securities of such other Holders, provided that
they shall furnish the Company with all information in connection
9
<PAGE>
therewith as shall be necessary or appropriate and as the Company shall
reasonably request in writing. Following the effective date of such post-
effective amendment or registration statement, the Company shall, upon the
request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, forthwith supply such number of
prospectuses meeting the requirements of the Act, as shall be reasonably
requested by such Holder. The Company shall use its best efforts to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such states in which the Common Stock and
Warrants are offered and sold in the Public Offering as the 51% holder shall
reasonably designate at such times as the registration statement is effective
under the Act; provided, that, without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall
not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or
to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such
jurisdiction.
(ii) The Company shall bear the entire cost and expense of any
registration of securities initiated by it under Paragraph 5(a) hereof
notwithstanding that the Registrable Securities subject to this Underwriters'
Warrant may be included in any such registration. The Company shall also comply
with the one request for registration made by the 51% holder pursuant to
Paragraph 5(b) hereof at the Company's own expense and without charge to any
holder of the Registrable Securities, but the expenses of registration pursuant
to the second request, if any, for registration pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) shall
be borne by the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities included
therein in proportion to the aggregate offering prices of the securities being
offered by the Company included therein and the aggregate offering price of the
Registrable Securities included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in any such registration
statement pursuant to this Paragraph 5 shall, however, bear the fees of any
counsel retained by him and any transfer taxes or
10
<PAGE>
underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to the Registrable Securities
sold by him pursuant thereto and, in the case of a registration pursuant to
Paragraph 5(a) hereof, any additional registration or "blue sky" or state
securities fees attributable to the registration or qualification of such
Holder's Registrable Securities.
(iii) If the underwriter or managing underwriter in any
underwritten offering made pursuant to Paragraph 5(a) hereof shall advise the
Company that it declines to include a portion or all of the Registrable
Securities requested by the Holders to be included in the registration
statement, then distribution of all or a specified portion of the Registrable
Securities shall be excluded from such registration statement (in case of an
exclusion as to a portion of such Registrable Securities, such portion to be
allocated among such Holders in proportion to the respective numbers of
Registrable Securities requested to be registered by each such Holder). In such
event the Company shall give the Holder prompt notice of the number of
Registrable Securities excluded. Further, in such event the Company shall,
commencing six months after the completion of such underwritten offering, file
and use its best efforts to have declared effective, at its sole expense
(subject to the last sentence of Paragraph 5(a)(ii)), a registration statement
relating to such excluded securities.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written
notice pursuant to Paragraph 5(a) or 5(b) (irrespective of whether a written
request for inclusion of any Registrable Securities shall have been made) to
elect not to file or to delay any such proposed registration statement or post
effective amendment thereto, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior
to the effective date thereof. In addition, the Company may delay the filing of
any registration
11
<PAGE>
statement or post effective amendment requested pursuant to Paragraph 5(b)
hereof by not more than 120 days if the Company, prior to the time it would
otherwise have been required to file such registration statement or post-
effective amendment thereto, determines in good faith that the filing of the
registration statement would require the disclosure of non-public material
information that, in its judgment, would be detrimental to the Company if so
disclosed or would otherwise adversely affect a financing, acquisition,
disposition, merger or other material transaction.
(v) If a registration pursuant to Paragraph 5(a) hereof involves an
underwritten offering, the Company shall have the right to select the investment
banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will serve as
underwriters with respect to the underwritten offering. No Holder of
Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten offering under this
Agreement unless such Holder completes and executes all questionnaires, powers
of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required
under the terms of such underwritten offering, in each case, in the form and
upon terms reasonably acceptable to the Company and the underwriters. The
requested registration pursuant to Paragraph 5 (b) hereof shall not involve an
underwritten offering unless the Company shall first give its written approval
of each underwriter that participates in the offering, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld.
6. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) Whenever pursuant to Paragraph 5, a registration statement
relating to any Registrable Securities is filed under the Act, amended or
supplemented, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, amendment or
supplement (such holder hereinafter referred to as the
12
<PAGE>
"Distributing Holder"), each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of
the Act) the Distributing Holder, and each officer, employee, partner or agent
of the Distributing Holder, if the Distributing Holder is a broker or dealer,
and each underwriter (within the meaning of the Act) of such securities and each
person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Act) any such
underwriter and each officer, employee, agent or partner of such underwriter
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Distributing Holder, any such underwriter or any other person 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 any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
any such registration statement or any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus constituting a part thereof or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading; and will reimburse the Distributing Holder and each such underwriter
or such other person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Distributing Holder, or Underwriters or such other person, in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case (i) 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 such registration statement, such preliminary
prospectus, such final prospectus or such amendment or supplement in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Distributing
Holder, any other Distributing Holder or any such underwriter for use in the
preparation thereof, or (ii) such losses,
13
<PAGE>
claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any actual or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in or from any preliminary prospectus,
but corrected in the final prospectus, as amended or supplemented.
(b) Whenever pursuant to Paragraph 5 a registration statement relating
to the Registrable Securities is filed under the Act, or is amended or
supplemented, the Distributing Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed such
registration statement and such amendments and supplements thereto, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Act) against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such
director, officer or controlling person 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 any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any such registration statement or
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus constituting a part thereof, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the 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 such
registration statement, such preliminary prospectus, such final prospectus or
such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Distributing Holder for use in the preparation
thereof; and will reimburse the Company or any such director, officer or
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action.
14
<PAGE>
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Paragraph 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof; but the
omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Paragraph 6.
(d) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party,
and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that
it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Paragraph 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.
7. Adjustments of Warrant Price and Number of
------------------------------------------
Shares of Common Stock.
----------------------
(a) Computation of Adjusted Price. Except as hereinafter provided, in
-----------------------------
case the Company shall, at any time after the date of closing of the sale of
securities pursuant to the Public Offering (the "Closing Date"), issue or sell
any shares of Common Stock (other than the issuances or sales referred to in
Paragraph 7(f) hereof), including shares held in the Company's treasury and
shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of any options, rights or
warrants to subscribe
15
<PAGE>
for shares of Common Stock (other than the issuances or sales of Common Stock
pursuant to rights to subscribe for such Common Stock distributed pursuant to
Paragraph 7(j) hereof) and shares of Common Stock issued upon the direct or
indirect conversion or exchange of securities for shares of Common Stock, for a
consideration per share less than both the "Market Price" (as defined in
Paragraph 7 (a)(vi) hereof) per share of Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding such issuance or sale and the Underwriters' Warrant Price
(as defined below) in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, or
without consideration, then forthwith upon such issuance or sale, the
Underwriters' Warrant Price in respect of the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Underwriters' Warrant (but not the exercise price of the
Warrants issuable upon exercise of this Underwriters' Warrant, which shall be
adjusted only in accordance with the Warrant Agreement) shall (until another
such issuance or sale) be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest full
cent) determined by multiplying the Underwriters' Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the Underwriters'
Warrant Price immediately prior to such issuance or sale plus (2) the
consideration received by the Company upon such issuance or sale, and the
denominator of which shall be the product of (x) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale, multiplied by
(y) the Underwriters' Warrant Price immediately prior to such issuance or sale;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Underwriters' Warrant Price be
adjusted pursuant to this computation to an amount in excess of the
Underwriters' Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such computation,
except in the case of a combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as
provided by Paragraph 7(c)
16
<PAGE>
hereof. For the purposes of this Paragraph 7, the term "Underwriters' Warrant
Price" shall mean the exercise price per share of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Underwriters' Warrant (initially $10.50 per share), as adjusted
from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 7.
For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with this
Paragraph 7(a), the following provisions shall be applicable:
(i) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock for a
consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount of the cash
consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the
Company for such shares (or, if shares of Common Stock are offered by the
Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such securities shall
be sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription
offering, the public offering price) before deducting therefrom any compensation
paid or discount allowed in the sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by
underwriters or dealers or others performing similar services, or any expenses
incurred in connection therewith.
(ii) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a dividend or
other distribution on any stock of the Company) of shares of Common Stock for a
consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the
consideration therefor other than cash shall be deemed to be the value of such
consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
(iii) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other
distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date
for the determination of stockholders
17
<PAGE>
entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution and shall be deemed to
have been issued without consideration.
(iv) The reclassification of securities of the Company other than
shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of Common Stock for a
consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on the
date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such
shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such shares of Common
Stock shall be determined as provided in subparagraph (ii) of this Paragraph
7(a).
(v) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding
shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable upon the
exercise of options, rights or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities.
(vi) As used herein, the phrase "Market Price" at any date shall be
deemed to be the average of the last reported sale price, or, in case no such
reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the last reported sale
prices for the last three trading days, in either case as officially reported by
the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or
admitted to trading or as reported in the Nasdaq Stock Market, or, if the Common
Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange
or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the closing bid quotation as furnished by
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. through Nasdaq or a similar
organization if Nasdaq is no longer reporting such information, or if the Common
Stock is not quoted on Nasdaq, as determined in good faith by resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company, based on the best information available
18
<PAGE>
to it for the day immediately preceding such issuance or sale, the day of such
issuance or sale and the day immediately after such issuance or sale. If the
Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange
and also quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Market Price shall be determined
as hereinabove provided by reference to the prices reported in the Nasdaq Stock
Market; provided that if the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on
the New York Stock Exchange, the Market Price shall be determined as hereinabove
provided by reference to the prices reported by such exchange.
(b) Options, Rights, Warrants and Convertible and Exchangeable
----------------------------------------------------------
Securities. Except in the case of the Company issuing rights to subscribe for
- ----------
shares of Common Stock distributed pursuant to Paragraph 7(j) hereof, if the
Company shall at any time after the Closing Date issue options, rights or
warrants to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, in each case other
than the issuances or sales referred to in Paragraph 7(f) hereof, (i) for a
consideration per share less than the lesser of (a) the Underwriters' Warrant
Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such options, rights or
warrants, or such convertible or exchangeable securities, or (b) the Market
Price on the trading day immediately preceding such issuance, or (ii) without
consideration, the Underwriters' Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
the issuance of such options, rights or warrants, or such convertible or
exchangeable securities, as the case may be, shall be reduced to a price
determined by making a computation in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 7(a) hereof, provided that:
(i) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock, as the
case may be, issuable under all the outstanding options, rights or warrants
shall be deemed to
19
<PAGE>
be issued and outstanding at the time all the outstanding options, rights or
warrants were issued, and for a consideration equal to the minimum purchase
price per share provided for in the options, rights or warrants at the time of
issuance, plus the consideration (determined in the same manner as consideration
received on the issue or sale of shares in accordance with the terms of
Paragraph 7(a) hereof), if any, received by the Company for the options, rights
or warrants, and if no minimum purchase price is provided in the options, rights
or warrants, then the minimum purchase price shall be equal to zero; provided,
however, that upon the expiration or other termination of the options, rights or
warrants, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the number of shares of
Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding pursuant to this subparagraph
(b) (and for the purposes of subparagraph (v) of Paragraph 7(a) hereof) shall be
reduced by such number of shares as to which options, warrants and/or rights
shall have expired or terminated unexercised, and such number of shares shall no
longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding, and the Warrant Price then in
effect shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would
have been had adjustment been made on the basis of the issuance only of shares
actually issued or issuable upon the exercise of those options, rights or
warrants as to which the exercise rights shall not have expired or terminated
unexercised.
(ii) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion or exchange of any convertible or exchangeable securities shall
be deemed to be issued and outstanding at the time of issuance of such
securities, and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in
the same manner as consideration received on the issue or sale of shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 7 (a) hereof) received by
the Company for such securities, plus the minimum consideration, if any,
20
<PAGE>
receivable by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof; provided,
however, that upon the expiration or other termination of the right to convert
or exchange such convertible or exchangeable securities (whether by reason of
redemption or otherwise), the number of shares deemed to be issued and
outstanding pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) (and for the purpose of
subparagraph (v) of Paragraph 7(a) hereof) shall be reduced by such number of
shares as to which the conversion or exchange rights shall have expired or
terminated unexercised, and such number of shares shall no longer be deemed to
be issued and outstanding, and the Warrant Price then in effect shall forthwith
be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have been had
adjustment been made on the basis of the issuance only of the shares actually
issued or issuable upon the conversion or exchange of those convertible or
exchangeable securities as to which the conversion or exchange rights shall not
have expired or terminated unexercised. No adjustment will be made pursuant to
this subparagraph (ii) upon the issuance by the Company of any convertible or
exchangeable securities pursuant to the exercise of any option, right or warrant
exercisable therefor, to the extent that adjustments in respect of such options,
rights or warrants were previously made pursuant to the provisions of
subparagraph (i) of this subparagraph 7(b).
(iii) If any change shall occur in the price per share provided for in
any of the options, rights or warrants referred to in subparagraph (i) of this
Paragraph 7 (b) , or in the price per share at which the securities referred to
in subparagraph (ii) of this Paragraph 7 (b) are convertible or exchangeable, or
if any such options, rights or warrants are exercised at a price greater than
the minimum purchase price provided for in such options, rights or warrants, or
any such securities are converted or exercised for more than the minimum
consideration receivable by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, the
options, rights or warrants or conversion or
21
<PAGE>
exchange rights, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have expired or
terminated on the date when such price change became effective in respect of
shares not theretofore issued pursuant to the exercise or conversion or exchange
thereof, and the Company shall be deemed to have issued upon such date new
options, rights or warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities at the new
price with respect of the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such
options, rights or warrants or the conversion or exchange of such convertible or
exchangeable securities; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made
pursuant to this subparagraph (iii) with respect to any change in the price per
share provided for in any of the options, rights or warrants referred to in
subparagraph (i) of this Paragraph 7, or in the price per share at which the
securities referred to in subparagraph (ii) of this Paragraph 7(b) are
convertible or exchangeable, which change results from the application of the
anti-dilution provisions thereof in connection with an event for which, subject
to subparagraph (iv) of Paragraph 7(f), an adjustment to the Warrant Price and
the number of securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be required
to be made pursuant to this Paragraph 7 and the Warrant Agreement, respectively.
(c) Subdivision and Combination. In case the Company shall at any
---------------------------
time after the Closing Date subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in
the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
(d) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
------------------------------
Warrant Price pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 7, the number of
shares of Common Stock (but not the number of Warrants, which are subject to
adjustment as set forth in the Warrant Agreement) issuable upon the exercise of
the Underwriters' Warrant shall be adjusted to the
22
<PAGE>
nearest full whole number by multiplying a number equal to the Underwriters'
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Underwriters' Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the
adjusted Underwriters' Warrant Price.
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any
--------------------------------------------
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change in par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as
a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any consolidation
of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except a change as a result of
a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value, as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety, the Holder shall thereafter have the
right to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance as if the Holder were the owner of the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Underwriters' Warrant immediately prior to any such
events (but not the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any
Warrants underlying the Underwriters' Warrant) at a price equal to the product
of (x) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriters' Warrant
(but not the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants
underlying the Underwriters' Warrant) and (y) the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date for such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if such Holder had exercised the
Underwriters' Warrant.
23
<PAGE>
(f) No Adjustment of Warrant Price in Certain Cases. Notwithstanding
-----------------------------------------------
anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be
made:
(i) Upon the issuance or sale of the Underwriters' Warrant, the shares
of Common Stock or Warrants issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriters'
Warrant or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
underlying the Underwriters' Warrant; or
(ii) Upon the issuance or sale of (A) the shares of Common Stock or
Warrants issued by the Company in the Public Offering (including pursuant to the
Over-allotment Option) or other shares of Common Stock or warrants issued by the
Company upon consummation of the Public Offering, or (B) the shares of Common
Stock (or other securities) issuable upon exercise of Warrants; or
(iii) Upon (i) the issuance of options pursuant to the Company's
incentive stock option plan in effect on the date hereof or as hereafter amended
in accordance with the terms thereof or any other employee or executive stock
option plan approved by stockholders of the Company or the sale by the Company
of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any such options, or
(ii) the sale by the Company of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of any options or warrants issued and outstanding on the date of
closing of the sale of Common Stock and Warrants pursuant to the Public Offering
or (iii) the issuance or sale by the Company of any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the Company's restricted stock plan in effect on the date hereof; or
(iv) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less than two cents
(2c) per share of Common Stock.
24
<PAGE>
(g) Adjustment of Warrants Underlying Underwriters' Warrant. With
-------------------------------------------------------
respect to the Warrants underlying the Underwriters' Warrant, the exercise price
of such Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant
to such Warrants shall be automatically adjusted in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Warrant Agreement, upon the occurrence, at any time
after the date hereof, of any of the events described in the Warrant Agreement
requiring such adjustment, with the same force and effect as if such Warrants
had been issued as of this date, whether or not such Warrants shall have been
exercised (or are exercisable) at the time of the occurrence of such event and
whether or not such Warrants shall be issued and outstanding at the time of the
occurrence of such event. Thereafter, such Warrants shall be exercisable at
such Warrant's adjusted exercise price for such adjusted number of shares of
Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights as provided for in the
Warrant Agreement.
(h) Redemption of Underwriters' Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to
-----------------------------------
the contrary contained in this Agreement or elsewhere, the Underwriters Warrant
cannot be redeemed by the Company under any circumstances.
(i) Dividends and Other Distributions with Respect to Outstanding
-------------------------------------------------------------
Securities. In the event that the Company shall at any time after the Closing
- ----------
Date and prior to the exercise and expiration of the Underwriters' Warrant
declare a dividend (other than a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common
Stock or a cash dividend or distribution payable out of current or retained
earnings) or otherwise distribute to the holders of Common Stock any monies,
assets, property, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities (other than such
a cash dividend or distribution or dividend consisting solely of shares of
Common Stock), whether issued by the Company or by another person or entity, or
any other thing of value, the Holders of the
25
<PAGE>
unexercised Underwriters' Warrant shall thereafter be entitled, in addition to
the shares of Common Stock or other securities receivable upon the exercise
thereof, to receive, upon the exercise of such Underwriters' Warrant, the same
monies, property, assets, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities or any
other thing of value that they would have been entitled to receive at the time
of such dividend or distribution as if the Holders were the owners of the shares
of Common Stock underlying the Underwriters' Warrant (but not the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants underlying the Underwriters'
Warrant). At the time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall
make appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the provisions of
this Paragraph 7(i).
(j) Subscription Rights for Shares of Common Stock or Other
-------------------------------------------------------
Securities. In case the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall at any
time after the date hereof and prior to the exercise of the Underwriters'
Warrant in full issue any rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or any
other securities of the Company or of such affiliate to all the holders of
Common Stock, the Holders of the unexercised Underwriters' Warrant shall be
entitled, in addition to the shares of Common Stock or other securities
receivable upon the exercise of the Underwriters' Warrant, to receive such
rights at the time such rights are distributed to the other stockholders of the
Company but only to the extent of the number of shares of Common Stock, if any,
for which the Underwriters' Warrant remains exercisable other than shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants underlying Underwriters'
Warrant.
(k) Notice in Event of Dissolution. In case of the dissolution,
------------------------------
liquidation or winding-up of the Company, all rights under the Underwriters'
Warrant shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be no
earlier than ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of
26
<PAGE>
such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and not later than five (5) days
prior to such effectiveness. Notice of such termination of purchase rights
shall be given to the registered Holders of the Underwriters' Warrant, as the
same shall appear on the books and records of the Company, by registered mail at
least thirty (30) days prior to such termination date.
(l) Computations. The Company may retain a firm of independent public
------------
accountants (who may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make
any computation required under this Paragraph, and any certificate setting forth
such computation signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the
correctness of any computation made under this Paragraph 7.
8. Fractional Shares.
-----------------
(a) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of
Common Stock or fractional Warrants on the exercise of this Underwriters'
Warrant; provided, however, that if the Holder exercises the Underwriters'
Warrant in full, any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be eliminated by
rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.
(b) The Holder of this Underwriters' Warrant, by acceptance hereof,
expressly waives his right to receive any fractional share of Common Stock or
fractional Warrant upon exercise of this Underwriters' Warrant.
9. Redemption of Warrants Underlying the Underwriters' Warrant. The
-----------------------------------------------------------
Warrants underlying the Underwriters' Warrant are redeemable by the Company at a
redemption price of $.10 per Warrant, in whole or in part, commencing on the
first anniversary of the date hereof (or earlier with the consent of the
Representative) and prior to their expiration upon not
27
<PAGE>
less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the holders of the Warrants;
provided, that the average closing bid quotation of the Common Stock as reported
on The Nasdaq Stock Market, if traded thereon, or if not traded thereon, the
average closing sale price if listed on a national securities exchange (or other
reporting system that provides last sales prices), has been at least 150% of the
then current Exercise Price for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending
on the third day prior to the date on which the Company gives notice of
redemption. Any redemption in part shall be made pro rata to all Warrant
holders. The redemption notice shall be mailed to the holders of the Warrants
at their respective addresses appearing in the Warrant register. Holders of the
Warrants will have exercise rights until the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption (at which time this
Underwriters' Warrant shall no longer be exercisable for Warrants).

with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law
principles thereof.

address is 751 Park of Commerce Drive, Boca Raton, Florida 33487, Ensec
International, Inc. (the "Company"), whose address is 751 Park of Commerce
Drive, Boca Raton, Florida 33487, and Rickel & Associates, Inc. ("Rickel"),
whose address is 875 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022 ("Rickel").
Finkel is the record and beneficial owner of 3,500,000 shares of the voting
common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock"). In connection with a proposed
initial public offering of the Company's securities, Finkel has agreed with
Rickel to deposit 800,000 of his shares (the "Deposit Shares") of Common Stock
with the Company subject to the terms set forth below.
It is therefore agreed as follows:
1. Deposit of Shares.
-----------------
(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this agreement,
Finkel is depositing a stock certificate with the Company representing the
Deposit Shares. The Company acknowledges receipt of that certificate.
(b) In case any stock dividend shall be declared on any of the Deposit
Shares or any shares of stock or fractions thereof shall be issued pursuant to
any stock split involving any of the Deposit Shares, or any shares, obligations
or other property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Deposit
Shares pursuant to a recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the
Company, or pursuant to the dissolution, liquidation (in whole or in part),
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, or pursuant to the merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the shares,
obligations, or other property so distributed shall be delivered to the Company,
to be held by it as additional Deposit Shares hereunder, and all of the same
shall constitute Deposit Shares for all purposes hereof.
2. Release of Shares. (a) The Company shall hold the Deposit Shares until
-----------------
released in accordance with the following:
(i) If the Company's Pre-tax Income (as defined below) for the 12-month
period ended December 31, 1997 exceeds $4,000,000, 500,000 of the Deposit Shares
shall be delivered to Finkel free and clear of any restriction pursuant to this
agreement.
<PAGE>
(ii) If the Company's Pre-tax Income for the 12-month period ended December
31, 1998 exceed $7,000,000, 300,000 of the Deposit Shares shall be delivered to
Finkel free and clear of any restriction pursuant to this agreement.
(iii) Any Deposit Shares held by the Company on the tenth anniversary of
the Effective Date (as defined below), shall be delivered to Finkel free and
clear of any restriction pursuant to this agreement, whereupon this agreement
shall terminate.

(i) "Pre-tax Income" shall mean the net income of the Company as computed
from the Company's Forms 10-KSB (or successor report) by the independent
accounting firm engaged by the Company for the preparation of its year-end
audited financial statements, before any decrease or increase attributable to
federal, state and local income and franchise taxes. The computation of such
independent accounting firm shall be evidenced by a certificate delivered to the
parties hereto within 45 days after the relevant fiscal year referred to in this
paragraph 2.
(ii) "Effective Date" shall mean the date on which the Registration
Statement with respect to the proposed initial public offering of the Company's
securities is declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.
3. Restrictions on Transfer. Finkel shall not sell, transfer,

sale, transfer, hypothecation, negotiation, pledge, assignment, encumbrance, or
other disposition of any shares except as provided in this agreement shall be
void and invalid and shall not be recognized by the Company. Any such transfer
by operation of law shall only be valid if the transferee takes the Deposit
Shares subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement.
4. Voting Rights and Cash Dividends. While the Deposit Shares are on
--------------------------------
deposit hereunder, Finkel shall be entitled to exercise the voting power with
respect to the Deposit Shares, and to receive and retain for his account any and
all cash dividends paid on the Deposit Shares.

(subject to modification and adjustment as provided in Section 9 hereof) shall
be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent.
Upon the exercise of the Overallotment Option, certificates representing up

Section 2. Form of Warrant. The text of the Warrants and the form of
----------------
election to purchase Common Stock to be printed on the reverse thereof shall be
substantially as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the provisions of which
---------
are hereby incorporated herein) . All of the certificates for the Warrants may
have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification
2
<PAGE>
or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed, lithographed
or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to
comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with
any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrants may be
listed, or to conform to usage. Each Warrant shall initially entitle the
registered holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a purchase
price of seven dollars ($7.00) (as adjusted as hereinafter provided, the
"Warrant Price"), at any time during the period (the "Exercise Period")
commencing on _______________ 1997, the first anniversary of the date of the
Company's prospectus (the "Prospectus") pursuant to which the Warrants are being
sold in the IPO) and expiring at 5:00 p.m. New York time, on ____________, 2001
(the fifth anniversary of the date of the Prospectus). The Warrant Price and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are
subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, all as hereinafter
provided. The Warrants shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual
or facsimile signature of the present or any future President or Vice President
of the Company, and attested to by the manual or facsimile signature of the
present or any future Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.
Warrants shall be dated as of the date of issuance by the Warrant Agent
either upon initial issuance or upon transfer or exchange.
In the event the aforesaid expiration date of the Warrants falls on a day
that is not a business day, then the Warrants shall expire at 5:00 p.m. New York
time on the next succeeding business day. For purposes hereof, the term
"business day" shall mean any day
3
<PAGE>
other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York
City, New York, are authorized or obligated by law to be closed.
Section 3. Countersignature and Registration. The Warrant Agent shall
----------------------------------
maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrants. Upon the
initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the
Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof. The Warrants shall be
countersigned manually or by facsimile by the Warrant Agent (or by any successor
to the Warrant Agent then acting as warrant agent under this Agreement) and
shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The Warrants may,
however, be so countersigned by the Warrant Agent (or by its successor as
Warrant Agent) and be delivered by the Warrant Agent, notwithstanding that the
persons whose manual or facsimile signatures appear thereon as proper officers
of the Company shall have ceased to be such officers at the time of such
countersignature or delivery.
Section 4. Transfers and Exchanges. The Warrant Agent shall transfer,
------------------------
from time to time, any outstanding Warrants upon the books to be maintained by
the Warrant Agent for that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly
endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such
transfer, a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered
Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Warrants so cancelled shall be
delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.
Warrants may be exchanged at the option of the holder thereof, when surrendered
at the office of the Warrant Agent, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of
different denominations of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock. No certificates for
Warrants shall be issued except
4
<PAGE>
for (i) Warrants initially issued hereunder in accordance with Section 1 hereof,
(ii) Warrants issued upon any transfer or exchange of Warrants, (iii) Warrants
issued in replacement of lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificates for
Warrants pursuant to Section 7 hereof, and (iv) at the option of the Board of
Directors of the Company, Warrants in such form as may be approved by its Board
of Directors, to reflect any adjustment or change in the Warrant Price or the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants made
pursuant to Section 9 hereof.
Section 5. Exercise of Warrants; Payment of Warrant Solicitation Fee.
----------------------------------------------------------
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each registered holder of Warrants
shall have the right, at any time during the Exercise Period, to exercise such
Warrants and purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock specified in such Warrants upon presentation and surrender of such
Warrants to the Company at the corporate office of the Warrant Agent, with the
exercise form on the reverse thereof duly executed, and upon payment to the
Company of the Warrant Price, determined in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 2, 9 and 10 of this Agreement, for the number of shares of Common Stock
in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of such Warrant
Price shall be made in cash or by certified or bank check payable to the
Company. Subject to Section 6 hereof, upon such surrender of Warrants and
payment of the Warrant Price, the Warrant Agent on behalf of the Company shall
cause to be issued and delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the
written order of the registered holder of such Warrants and in such name or
names as such registered holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for
the number of full shares of Common Stock so purchased upon the exercise of such
Warrants. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed
5
<PAGE>
to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of such
Warrants and payment of the Warrant Price as aforesaid. The rights of purchase
represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable during the Exercise Period, at
the election of the registered holders thereof, either as an entirety or from
time to time for a portion of the shares specified therein and, in the event
that any Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the shares of
Common Stock specified therein at any time prior to the date of expiration of
the Warrants, a new Warrant or Warrants will be issued to the registered holder
for the remaining number of shares of Common Stock specified in the Warrant so
surrendered, and the Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to
countersign and to deliver the required new Warrants pursuant to the provisions
of this Section and of Section 3 of this Agreement and the Company, whenever
requested by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly
executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose. Upon the exercise of any
one or more Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company in
writing of such fact and of the number of securities delivered upon such
exercise and, subject to the provisions below, shall cause all payments of an
amount, in cash or by check made payable to the order of the Company, equal to
the aggregate Warrant Price for such Warrants, less any amounts payable to the
Underwriters, as provided below, to be deposited promptly in the Company's bank
account. The Company and Warrant Agent shall determine, in their sole and
absolute discretion, whether a Warrant certificate has been properly completed
for exercise by the registered holder thereof.
Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, no Warrant will be
6
<PAGE>
exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities
pursuant to the exercise of any warrant unless at the time of exercise the
Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the
securities issuable upon exercise of such Warrant and such registration
statement shall have been declared and shall remain effective and shall be
current, and such shares have been registered or qualified or be exempt under
the securities laws of the state or other jurisdiction of residence of the
holder of such Warrant and the exercise of such Warrant in any such state or
other jurisdiction shall not otherwise be unlawful. During the Exercise Period,
the Company shall use its best efforts to have a current registration statement
on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the issuance of
Common Stock underlying the Warrants so as to permit the Company to deliver to
each person exercising a Warrant a prospectus meeting the requirements of
Section 10(a) (3) of the Act and otherwise complying therewith, and will deliver
such prospectus to each such person. During the Exercise Period, the Company
shall also use its best efforts to effect appropriate qualifications of the
Common Stock underlying the Warrants under the laws and regulations of the
states and other jurisdictions in which the Common Stock and Warrants are sold
by the Underwriter in the IPO in order to comply with applicable laws in
connection with the exercise of the Warrants.
(a) If at the time of exercise of any Warrant (i) the market price of
the Common Stock is equal to or greater than the then exercise price of the
Warrant, (ii) the exercise of the Warrant is solicited by the Representative at
such time as it is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. ("NASD"), (iii) the Warrant is not held in a
7
<PAGE>
discretionary account, (iv) disclosure of the compensation arrangement is made
in documents provided to the holders of the Warrants, and (v) the solicitation
of the exercise of the Warrant is not in violation of Rule 10b-6 (as such rule
or any successor rule may be in effect as of such time of exercise) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, then the Representative
shall be entitled to receive from the Company following exercise of each of the
Warrants so exercised a fee of five percent (5%) of the aggregate exercise price
of the Warrants so exercised (the "Exercise Fee") The procedures for payment of
the Exercise Fee are set forth in Section 5(b) below.
(b) (i) Within five (5) days after the last day of each month commencing
with __________________, 1996, the Warrant Agent will notify the Underwriter of
each Warrant certificate which has been properly completed for exercise by
holders of Warrants during the last month. The Warrant Agent will provide the
Representative with such information, in connection with the exercise of each
Warrant, as the Representative shall reasonably request.
(ii) The Company hereby authorizes and instructs the Warrant Agent to
deliver to the Representative the Exercise Fee, if payable, in respect of each
exercise of Warrants, promptly after receipt by the Warrant Agent from the
Company of a check payable to the order of the Representative in the amount of
such Exercise Fee. In the event that an Exercise Fee is paid to the
Representative with respect to a Warrant which the Company or the Warrant Agent
determines is not properly completed for exercise or in respect of which the
Representative is not entitled to an Exercise Fee, the Representative will
return such Exercise Fee to the Warrant Agent which shall forthwith return such
fee to the Company.
8
<PAGE>
The Underwriters and the Company may at any time during business hours
examine the records of the Warrant Agent, including its ledger of original
Warrant certificates returned to the Warrant Agent upon exercise of Warrants.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the provisions of paragraph 5(a)
and 5(b) may not be modified, amended or deleted without the prior written
consent of the Representative.
Section 6. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary
-----------------
stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for shares of Common Stock in a
name other than that of the registered holder of Warrants in respect of which
such shares are issued, and in such case neither the Company nor the Warrant
Agent shall be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Common
Stock or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the
Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company's satisfaction
that such tax has been paid or that no such tax is required to be paid.
Section 7. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case any of the Warrants
------------------------------
shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may, in its
discretion, issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or
in lieu of and in substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new
Warrant of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only
upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of
such loss, theft or destruction and, in case of a lost, stolen or destroyed
Warrant, indemnity, if requested, also
9
<PAGE>
satisfactory to them. Applicants for such substitute Warrants shall also comply
with such other reasonable regulations and pay such reasonable charges as the
Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe.
Section 8. Reservation of Common Stock. There have been reserved, and
----------------------------
the Company shall at all times keep reserved, out of its authorized shares of
Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the
exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants, and the transfer
agent for the shares of Common Stock and every subsequent transfer agent for any
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights
of purchase are irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such
number of authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be required for such
purpose. The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise of the Warrants shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates
for such shares against payment of the Warrant Price therefor, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and listed on any national securities exchange or
included in any interdealer automated quotation system upon or in which the
other shares of outstanding Common Stock are then listed or included. The
Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the transfer agent for
the shares of Common Stock (which may be the Warrant Agent) and with every
subsequent transfer agent for any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The Warrant
Agent is irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such
transfer agent stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants. The
Company will supply such transfer agent with duly executed stock certificates
for that purpose. All Warrants surrendered in the exercise of the rights
thereby evidenced shall be
10
<PAGE>
cancelled by the Warrant Agent and shall thereafter be delivered to the Company,
and such cancelled Warrants shall constitute sufficient evidence of the number
of shares of Common Stock which have been issued upon the exercise of such
Warrants. Promptly after the date of expiration of the Warrants, the Warrant
Agent shall certify to the Company the total aggregate amount of Warrants then
outstanding, and thereafter no shares of Common Stock shall be subject to
reservation in respect of such Warrants which shall have expired.
Section 9. Adjustments of Warrant Price and Number of Securities.
------------------------------------------------------
(a) Computation of Adjusted Price. Except as hereinafter provided, in
-----------------------------
case the Company shall, at any time after the date of closing of the sale of
securities pursuant to the IPO (the "Closing Date"), issue or sell any shares of
Common Stock (other than the issuances or sales referred to in Section 9 (f)
hereof), including shares held in the Company's treasury and shares of Common
Stock issued upon the exercise of any options, rights or warrants to subscribe
for shares of Common Stock (other than the issuances or sales of Common Stock
pursuant to rights to subscribe for such Common Stock distributed pursuant to
Section 9(h) hereof) and shares of Common Stock issued upon the direct or
indirect conversion or exchange of securities for shares of Common Stock, for a
consideration per share less than both the "Market Price" (as defined in Section
9(a)(vi) hereof) per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately
preceding such issuance or sale and the Warrant Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance or sale, or without consideration, then forthwith upon
such issuance or sale, the Warrant Price shall (until another such issuance or
sale) be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined
by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or
sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
11
<PAGE>
sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance or sale multiplied by the Warrant Price immediately prior to such
issuance or sale plus (2) the consideration received by the Company upon such
issuance or sale, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (x) the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
issuance or sale, multiplied by (y) the Warrant Price immediately prior to such
issuance or sale; provided, however, that in no event shall the Warrant Price be
adjusted pursuant to this computation to an amount in excess of the Warrant
Price in effect immediately prior to such computation, except in the case of a
combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as provided by Section 9(c)
hereof.
For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with this
Section 9(a), the following provisions shall be applicable:
(i) In case of the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock for a
consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount of the cash
consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the
Company for such shares (or, if shares of Common Stock are offered by the
Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such securities shall
be sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription
offering, the public offering price) before deducting therefrom any compensation
paid or discount allowed in the sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by
underwriters or dealers or others performing similar services, or any expenses
incurred in connection therewith.
(ii) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a dividend or
other distribution on any stock of the Company) of shares of Common Stock for a
consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the
consideration
12
<PAGE>
therefor other than cash shall be deemed to be the value of such consideration
as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(iii) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other
distribution on any stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been issued
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(iv) The reclassification of securities of the Company other than
shares of Common Stock into securities including shares of Common Stock shall be
deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of Common Stock for a
consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on the
date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such
shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such shares of Common
Stock shall be determined as provided in subsection (ii) of this Section 9(a).
(v) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding
shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable upon the
exercise of options, warrants or rights and upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities.
(vi) As used herein, the phrase "Market Price" at any date shall be
deemed to be the average of the last reported sale price, or, in case no such
reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the last reported sale
prices for the last three trading days, in either case as officially reported by
the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or
admitted to trading or as reported in the Nasdaq Stock Market, or, if the
13
<PAGE>
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the closing bid quotation as
furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. through Nasdaq
or a similar organization if Nasdaq is no longer reporting such information, or
if the Common Stock is not quoted on Nasdaq, as determined in good faith by
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, based on the best
information available to it for the day immediately preceding such issuance or
sale, the day of such issuance or sale and the day immediately after such
issuance or sale. If the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on a
national securities exchange and also quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the
Market Price shall be determined as hereinabove provided by reference to the
prices reported in the Nasdaq Stock Market; provided that if the Common Stock is
listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Market Price
shall be determined as hereinabove provided by reference to the prices reported
by such exchange.
(b) Options, Rights, Warrants and Convertible and Exchangeable
----------------------------------------------------------
Securities. Except in the case of the Company issuing rights to subscribe for
- ----------
shares of Common Stock distributed pursuant to Section 9(h) hereof, if the
Company shall at any time after the Closing Date issue options, rights or
warrants to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, in each case other
than the issuances or sales referred to in section 9(f) hereof, (i) for a
consideration per share less than the lesser of (a) the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the issuance of such options, rights or warrants, or such
convertible or exchangeable securities, or (b) the Market Price on the trading
day immediately preceding such issuance, or (ii) without consideration, the
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such options,
rights or warrants,
14
<PAGE>
or such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be, shall be
reduced to a price determined by making a computation in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9(a) hereof; provided that:
(i) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock, as the
case may be, issuable under all the outstanding options, rights or warrants
shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding at the time all the outstanding
options, rights or warrants were issued, and for a consideration equal to the
minimum purchase price per share provided for in the options, rights or warrants
at the time of issuance, plus the consideration (determined in the same manner
as consideration received on the issue or sale of shares in accordance with the
terms of Section 9(a)), if any, received by the Company for the options, rights
or warrants, and if no minimum purchase price is provided in the options, rights
or warrants, then the minimum purchase price shall be equal to zero; provided,
however, that upon the expiration or other termination of the options, rights or
warrants, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the number of shares of
Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding pursuant to this subsection (b)
(and for the purposes of subsection (v) of Section 9(a) hereof) shall be reduced
by such number of shares as to which options, warrants or rights shall have
expired or terminated unexercised, and such number of shares shall no longer be
deemed to be issued and outstanding, and the Warrant Price then in effect shall
forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have been had
adjustment been made on the basis of the issuance only of shares actually issued
or issuable upon the exercise of those options, rights or warrants as to which
the exercise rights shall not have expired or terminated unexercised.
(ii) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock
15
<PAGE>
issuable upon conversion or exchange of any convertible or exchangeable
securities shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding at the time of issuance
of such securities, and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the same manner as consideration received on the issue or sale of
shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 9(a)) received
by the Company for such securities, plus the minimum consideration, if any,
receivable by the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof; provided,
however, that upon the expiration or other termination of the right to convert
or exchange such convertible or exchangeable securities (whether by reason of
redemption or otherwise), the number of shares deemed to be issued and
outstanding pursuant to this subsection (ii) (and for the purpose of subsection
(v) of Section 9(a) hereof) shall be reduced by such number of shares as to
which the conversion or exchange rights shall have expired or terminated
unexercised, and such number of shares shall no longer be deemed to be issued
and outstanding, and the Warrant Price then in effect shall forthwith be
readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have been had adjustment
been made on the basis of the issuance only of the shares actually issued or
issuable upon the conversion or exchange of those convertible or exchangeable
securities as to which the conversion or exchange rights shall not have expired
or terminated unexercised. No adjustment will be made pursuant to this
subsection (ii) upon the issuance by the Company of any convertible or
exchangeable securities pursuant to the exercise of any option, right or warrant
exercisable therefor, to the extent that adjustments in respect of such options,
rights or warrants were previously made pursuant to the provisions of subsection
(i) of this subsection 9(b) .
(iii) If any change shall occur in the price per share provided
for in
16
<PAGE>
any of the options, rights or warrants referred to in subsection (i) of this
Section 9 (b), or in the price per share at which the securities referred to in
subsection (ii) of this Section 9(b) are convertible or exchangeable, or if any
such options, rights or warrants are exercised at a price greater than the
minimum purchase price provided for in such options, rights or warrants, or any
such securities are converted or exercised for more than the minimum
consideration receivable by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, the
options, rights or warrants or conversion or exchange rights, as the case may
be, shall be deemed to have expired or terminated on the date when such price
change became effective in respect of shares not theretofore issued pursuant to
the exercise or conversion or exchange thereof, and the Company shall be deemed
to have issued upon such date new options, rights or warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities at the new price in respect of the number of shares
issuable upon the exercise of such options, rights or warrants or the conversion
or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities; provided, however,
that no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this subsection (iii) with respect
to any change in the price per share provided for in any of the options, rights
or warrants referred to in subsection (b) (i) of this Section 9 (b), or in the
price per share at which the securities referred to in subsection (b) (ii) of
this Section 9(b) are convertible or exchangeable, which change results from the
application of the anti-dilution provisions thereof in connection with an event
for which, subject to subsection (iv) of this Section 9(f), an adjustment to the
Warrant Price and the number of securities issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants will be required to be made pursuant to this Section 9.
(c) Subdivision and Combination. In case the Company shall at any time
---------------------------
after the Closing Date subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the
17
<PAGE>
Warrant Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of
subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
(d) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant
------------------------------
Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9, the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted to the
nearest full whole number by multiplying a number equal to the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Warrant Price.
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger etc. In case of any
--------------------------------------- ---
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change in par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as
a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any consolidation
of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except a change as a result of
a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value, as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety, the Holder shall thereafter have the
right to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance as if the Holder were the owner of the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Warrants immediately prior to any such events at a
price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of
the
18
<PAGE>
Warrants and (y) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record
date for such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance as if such Holder had exercised the Warrant.
(f) No Adjustment of Warrant Price in Certain Cases. Notwithstanding
-----------------------------------------------
anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be
made:
(i) Upon the issuance or sale of the Underwriter's Warrant, the shares
of Common Stock or Warrants issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriter's
Warrant or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
underlying the Underwriter's Warrant; or
(ii) Upon the issuance or sale of (A) the shares of Common Stock or

Company upon consummation of the IPO or, (B) the shares of Common Stock (or
other securities) issuable upon exercise of Warrants; or

(ii) the sale by the Company of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of any options or warrants issued and outstanding on the date of

the Company's
19
<PAGE>
restricted stock plan in effect on the date hereof; or
(iv) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less than two cents
(2c) per share of Common Stock.
(g) Dividends and Other Distributions with Respect to Outstanding
---------------------------------------------- --------------
Securities. In the event that the Company shall at any time after the Closing
- ----------
Date and prior to the exercise or expiration of all Warrants declare a dividend
(other than a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common Stock or a cash
dividend or distribution payable out of current or retained earnings) or
otherwise distribute to the holders of Common Stock any monies, assets,
property, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities (other than such a cash
dividend or distribution or dividend consisting solely of shares of Common
Stock), whether issued by the Company or by another person or entity, or any
other thing of value, the Holders of the unexercised Warrants shall thereafter
be entitled, in addition to the shares of Common Stock or other securities
receivable upon the exercise thereof, to receive, upon the exercise of such
Warrants, the same monies, property, assets, rights, evidences of indebtedness,
securities or any other thing of value that they would have been entitled to
receive at the time of such dividend or distribution as if the Holders were the
owners of the shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrants. At the time of
any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall make appropriate reserves
to ensure the timely performance of the provisions of this Section 9(g).
(h) Subscription Rights for Shares of Common Stock or Other Securities.
------------------------------------------------------------------
In case the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall at anytime after the
date hereof and prior to the exercise of all the Warrants issue any rights to
subscribe for shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company or
of such affiliate to all the holders of Common
20
<PAGE>
Stock, the Holders of the unexercised Warrants shall be entitled, in addition to
the shares of Common Stock or other securities receivable upon the exercise of
the Warrants, to receive such rights at the time such rights are distributed to
the other stockholders of the Company but only to the extent of the number of
shares of Common Stock, if any, for which the Warrants remain exercisable.
(i) Notice in Event of Dissolution. In case of the dissolution,
------------------------------
liquidation or winding-up of the Company, all rights under the Warrants shall
terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be no earlier than ten
(10) days prior to the effectiveness of such dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up and not later than five (5) days prior to such effectiveness. Notice
of such termination of purchase rights shall be given to each registered holder
of the Warrants, as the same shall appear on the books of the Company maintained
by the Warrant Agent, by registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to such
termination date.
(j) Computations. The Company may retain a firm of independent public
------------
accountants (who may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make
any computation required under this Section 9, and any certificate setting forth
such computation signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the
correctness of any computation made under this Section 9.
Section 10. Fractional Interests. The Warrants may only be exercised to
---------------------
purchase full shares of Common Stock and the Company shall not be required to
issue fractions of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of Warrants. However,
if a Warrantholder exercises all Warrants then owned of record by him and such
exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company will
pay to such Warrantholder, in lieu of the issuance of any
21
<PAGE>
fractional share otherwise issuable, an amount of cash based on the Market Price
on the last trading day prior to the exercise date.
Section 11. Notices to Warrantholders.
--------------------------
(a) Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, then and in each such case,
the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice
shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or
decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the
exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company
shall also mail such notice to the holders of the Warrants at their respective
addresses appearing in the Warrant register. Failure to give or mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the adjustments.
(b) In case at any time after the Closing Date:
(i) the Company shall pay dividends payable in stock upon its Common
Stock or make any distribution (other than regular cash dividends) to the
holders of Common Stock; or
(ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to all of the
holders of Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other
rights; or
(iii) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of
the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company
with, or sale of substantially all of its assets to another corporation; or
(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation
22
<PAGE>
or winding-up of the Company; then in any one or more of such cases, the Company
shall give written notice to the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants
in the manner set forth in Section 11(a) of the date on which (A) a record shall
be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or (B) such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up shall take place, as the case may be. Such notice
shall also specify the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record
shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or
shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or windingup, as the case may be. Such
notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the action in question and
not less than ten (10) days prior to the record date in respect thereof.
Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the
legality or validity of any of the matters set forth in this Section 11(b).
(c) The Company shall cause copies of all financial statements and
reports, proxy statements and other documents that are sent to its stockholders
to be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, on the date of mailing to such
stockholders, to each registered holder of Warrants at his address appearing in
the Warrant register as of the record date for the determination of the
stockholders entitled to such documents.
Section 12. Disposition of Proceeds on Exercise of Warrants.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) The Warrant Agent shall promptly forward to the Company all monies
received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of shares of Common Stock through
the exercise of these Warrants.
23
<PAGE>
(b) The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement available for
inspection by holders of Warrants during normal business hours.
Section 13. Redemption of Warrants. The Warrants are redeemable by the
-----------------------
Company commencing on the first anniversary the date of the Prospectus, in whole
or in part, on not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice at a
redemption price of $.10 per Warrant (or earlier with the prior consent of
Rickel), provided the average closing bid quotation of the Common Stock as
reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market, if traded thereon, or if not traded
thereon, the average closing sale price if listed on a national securities
exchange (or other reporting system that provides last sale prices), has been at
least 150% of the then current Exercise Price of the Warrants, for a period of
20 consecutive trading days ending on the third day prior to the date on which
the Company gives notice of redemption. Any redemption in part shall be made
pro rata to all Warrant holders. The redemption notice shall be mailed to the
holders of the Warrants at their respective addresses appearing in the Warrant
register. Any such notice mailed in the manner provided herein shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given in accordance with this Agreement
whether or not the registered holder receives such notice. No failure to mail
such notice nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the
validity of the proceedings for such redemption except as to a registered holder
of a Warrant (i) to whom notice was not mailed or (ii) whose notice was
defective. An affidavit of the Warrant Agent or the Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Company that notice of redemption has been mailed shall, in the
absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. Holders
of the Warrants will have exercise rights until the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption.
24
<PAGE>
Section 14. Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Any corporation or company which may succeed to the corporate trust business of
the Warrant Agent by any merger or consolidation or otherwise shall be the
successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided,
that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant
Agent under the provisions of Section 16 of this Agreement. In case at the time
such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this
Agreement any of the Warrants shall have been countersigned but not delivered,
any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the
original Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrants so countersigned.
In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at
such time any of the Warrants shall have been countersigned but not delivered,
the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and
deliver Warrants so countersigned. In all such cases such Warrants shall have
the full force provided in the Warrants and in this Agreement.
Section 15. Duties of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the
------------------------
duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and
conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Warrants, by their
acceptance thereof, shall be bound:
(a) The statements of fact and recitals contained herein and in the
Warrants shall be taken as statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent
assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the same except as such
describe the Warrant Agent or action taken or to be taken by it. The Warrant
Agent assumes no responsibility with respect to the
25
<PAGE>
distribution of the Warrants except as herein expressly provided.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the
Company to comply with any of the covenants in this Agreement or in the Warrants
to be complied with by the Company.
(c) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel satisfactory
to it (who may be counsel for the Company) and the Warrant Agent shall incur no
liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel.
(d) The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the
Company or to any holder of any Warrant for any action taken in reliance on any
notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate or other instrument
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the
proper party or parties.
(e) The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the execution of
this Agreement, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and
governmental charges and other charges incurred by the Warrant Agent in the
execution of this Agreement and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it
harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and
reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in
the execution of this Agreement except as a result of the Warrant Agent's
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
(f) The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any
action,
26
<PAGE>
suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expenses
unless the Company or one or more registered holders of Warrants shall furnish
the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and
expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of
the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper,
whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of action
under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant
Agent without the possession of any of the Warrants or the production thereof at
any trial or other proceeding. Any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by
the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any
recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the registered holders
of the Warrants, as their respective rights and interests may appear.
(g) The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer, partner or
employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or
other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any
transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend
money to or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the Warrant
Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent
from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
(h) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent and its duties
shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof.
(i) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or
powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or
through its attorneys, agents or employees, and the Warrant Agent shall not be
answerable or accountable
27
<PAGE>
for any such attorneys, agents or employees or for any loss to the Company
resulting from such neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care had been
exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof.
(j) Any request, direction, election, order or demand of the Company
shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed in the name of the
Company by its President or a Vice President or its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary or its Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the
Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Warrant Agent by a copy thereof
certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.
Section 16. Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and
------------------------
be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving to the Company
notice in writing, and to the holders of the Warrants notice by mailing such
notice to the holders at their respective addresses appearing on the Warrant
register, of such resignation, specifying a date when such resignation shall
take effect. The Warrant Agent may be removed by like notice to the Warrant
Agent from the Company and the like mailing of notice to the holders of the
Warrants. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise
become incapable of action, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Warrant
Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of
thirty (30) days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of
such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent
or after the Company has received such notice from a registered holder of a
Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant for inspection by the
Company), then the registered holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for the
28
<PAGE>
appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent,
whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a bank or trust
company, in good standing, incorporated under New York or federal law. After
appointment, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers,
rights, duties and responsibility as if it had been originally named as Warrant
Agent without further act or deed and the former Warrant Agent shall deliver and
transfer to the successor Warrant Agent all canceled Warrants, records and
property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further
assurance or conveyance necessary for this purpose. Failure to file or mail any
notice provided for in this Section, however, or any defect therein, shall not
affect the validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the
appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.
Section 17. Identity of Transfer Agent. Forthwith upon the appointment
---------------------------
of any transfer agent (other than American Stock Transfer & Trust Company) for
the shares of Common Stock or of any subsequent transfer agent for the shares of
Common Stock, the Company will file with the Warrant Agent a statement setting
forth the name and address of such transfer agent.

sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the registered
holders of the Warrants.

WARRANTS
REDEEMABLE WARRANT CERTIFICATE TO
PURCHASE ONE SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
ENSEC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
CUSIP [ ]
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, FOR VALUE RECEIVED
or registered assigns (the "Registered Holder") is the owner of the number of
Redeemable Warrants (the "Warrants") specified above. Each Warrant initially
entitles the Registered Holder to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Certificate and the Warrant Agreement (as hereinafter
defined), one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Common Stock"), of Ensec International, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), at any time from ______________, 1996 (the "Initial
Warrant Exercise Date"), and prior to the Expiration Date (as hereinafter
defined) upon the presentation and surrender of this Warrant Certificate with
the Exercise Form on the reverse hereof duly executed, at the corporate office
of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 99 Wall Street, New York, New York
10005, as Warrant Agent, or its successor (the "Warrant Agent"), accompanied by
payment of $7.00, subject to adjustment (the "Exercise Price"), in lawful money
of the United States of America in cash or by certified or bank check made
payable to the Company.
This Warrant Certificate and each Warrant represented hereby are issued
pursuant to and are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of _______________, 1996 (the "Warrant
Agreement"), among the Company, Rickel & Associates, Inc. ("Rickel") and the
Warrant Agent.
In the event of certain contingencies provided for in the Warrant Agreement,
the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase
upon the exercise of each Warrant represented hereby are subject to modification
or adjustment.
Each Warrant represented hereby is exercisable at the option of the
Registered Holder, but no fractional shares will be issued. In the case of the
exercise of less than all the Warrants
A-1
<PAGE>
represented hereby, the Company shall cancel this Warrant Certificate upon the
surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor, which the Warrant Agent shall countersign,
for the balance of such Warrants.
The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on
__________, 2001 [the date which is the fifth anniversary of the Initial Warrant
Exercise Date]; provided, that if such date is not a business day, it shall mean
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next following business day. For purposes
hereof, the term "business day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday
or a day on which banking institutions in New York City, New York, are
authorized or obligated by law to be closed.
The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant to the
exercise of the Warrants represented hereby unless at the time of exercise the
Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the
securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants represented hereby and such
registration statement has been declared and shall remain effective and shall be
current, and such securities have been registered or qualified or be exempt
under the securities laws of the state or other jurisdiction of residence of the
Registered Holder and the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby in any
such state or other jurisdiction shall not otherwise be unlawful.
This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the
Registered Holder at the corporate office of the Warrant Agent, for a new
Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor representing an equal
aggregate number of Warrants, each of such new Warrant Certificates to represent
such number of Warrants as shall be designated by such Registered Holder at the
time of such surrender. Upon the presentment and payment of any tax or other
charge imposed in connection therewith or incident thereto for registration of
transfer of this Warrant Certificate at such office, a new Warrant Certificate
or Warrant Certificates representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants will
be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations
provided in the Warrant Agreement.
Prior to the exercise of any Warrant represented hereby, the Registered
Holder, as such, shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the
Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends or other distributions, and shall not be entitled to receive any
notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided in the Warrant
Agreement.
Subject to the provisions of the Warrant Agreement, this Warrant may be
redeemed at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $.10 per
Warrant, at any time commencing ________________, 1997 [the first anniversary
of the date of the Prospectus] (or earlier with the consent of Rickel), provided
that the average closing bid quotation of the Common Stock as reported on The
Nasdaq Stock Market, if traded thereon, or is not traded thereon, the average
closing sale price if listed on national exchange (or other reporting system
that provides last sale prices), shall have for a period of 20 consecutive days
on which such market is open for trading ending on the third day prior to the
date on which the Company gives the Notice of Redemption (as
A-2
<PAGE>
defined below) equaled or exceeded 150% of the then current Exercise Price.
Notice of redemption (the "Notice of Redemption") shall be given by the Company
no less than thirty days before the date fixed for redemption, all as provided
in the Warrant Agreement. On and after the date fixed for redemption, the
Registered Holder shall have no right with respect to this Warrant except to
receive the $.10 per Warrant upon surrender of this Certificate.
Under certain circumstances described in the Warrant Agreement, Rickel shall
be entitled to receive as a solicitation fee an aggregate of five percent (5%)
of the Exercise Price of the Warrants represented hereby.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer hereof, the Company and
the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder as the absolute owner
hereof and of each Warrant represented hereby (notwithstanding any notations of
ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than a duly authorized officer
of the Company or the Warrant Agent) for all purposes and shall not be affected
by any notice to the contrary, except as provided in the Warrant Agreement.
This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law
principles thereof.
This Warrant Certificate is not valid unless countersigned by the Warrant
Agent.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to be
duly executed, manually or in facsimile by two of its officers thereunto duly
authorized and a facsimile of its corporate seal to be imprinted hereon.

Underwriters to purchase Securities pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement are herein called "underwriting obligations."
We desire to confirm the agreement among the Underwriters with respect
to the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters, severally and not
jointly, from the Company.
1. Authority of Representative. We hereby authorize Rickel as our
---------------------------
representative (the "Representative") and on our behalf, (a) to enter into an
agreement with the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A, but with such changes therein as in the judgment of Rickel, will not be
materially adverse to the Underwriters providing for the purchase by us from
<PAGE>
the Company, of the number of Securities set forth opposite our name in Schedule
I to said Exhibit A, (b) to exercise all the authority and discretion vested in
the Underwriters and in the Representative by the provisions of the Underwriting
Agreement, (c) to take all such action and execute all such documents and
instruments as Rickel in its discretion may deem necessary or advisable in order
to carry out the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and this Agreement
Among Underwriters (this "Agreement") and the sale and distribution of the
Securities, (d) to furnish such information and to make such representations to
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on behalf of the
Underwriters, as Rickel in its discretion may deem necessary or advisable, and
(e) to determine the form and manner of any public advertisement of the
Securities.
2. Concession. Each Underwriter shall be entitled to a concession of
----------
$_____ with respect to each Security which it agrees to purchase pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement.
3. Public Offering. A public offering of the Securities is to be
---------------
made, as herein provided, as soon, on or after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, as Rickel deems it advisable to so do. The Securities
are to be initially offered to the public at the public offering price set forth
on, or determined pursuant to the disclosure on, the cover page of the
Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement). Rickel will advise us by
telegraph, telecopy or telephone when the Securities are released for offering.
We authorize Rickel, after the initial public offering, from time to time to
increase or decrease the public offering price, in Rickel's sole discretion, by
reason of changes in general market conditions or otherwise. The public
offering price of the Securities at the time in effect is herein called the
"Offering Price."
4. Offering to Dealers and Retail Sales. We authorize Rickel to
------------------------------------
reserve for offering and sale, and on behalf of the Underwriters to sell, to
institutions or other retail purchasers (such sales being herein called "Retail
Sales") and to dealers selected by Rickel (such dealers, among whom the
Underwriters may be included, being herein called "Dealers") such number of the
Securities, as Rickel may determine; provided, however, JM, Inc. may retain
500,000 Securities for direct sales. Such sales of Securities, if any, shall be
made (a) in the case of Retail Sales, at the Offering Price, and (b) in the case
of sales to Dealers, at the Offering Price less such concession or concessions
as Rickel may from time to time determine.
The aggregate of any Retail Sales made for the Underwriters' accounts
shall be as nearly as practicable in proportion to their underwriting
obligations, unless otherwise agreed, but it shall not be necessary for each
such sale to be made in such proportion. Any sales to Dealers made for the
Underwriters' accounts shall be as nearly as practicable in the ratio that the
Securities reserved for each Underwriter's account for offering to Dealers bears
to the aggregate of all Securities of all Underwriters so reserved.
Rickel agrees to notify us promptly on the date of the public offering
as to the number of Securities which each of us may retain for direct sale.
Prior to the termination of this Agreement, Rickel may reserve for offering and
sale as hereinbefore provided any Securities remaining unsold theretofore
retained by the other Underwriters.
-2-
<PAGE>
We authorize Rickel to determine the form and manner of any
communications or agreements with Dealers, which may be in the form of a Selling
Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, or otherwise, as Rickel may
determine. If there shall be any such agreements with Dealers, Rickel is
authorized to act as manager thereunder and we agree, in such event, to be
governed by the terms and conditions of such agreements. Rickel may arrange for
any Underwriter, including itself, to become one of such Dealers. Each
Underwriter agrees that it will not offer any of the Securities for sale at a
price below the Offering Price or allow any concession therefrom except as
herein otherwise provided.
It is understood that any Dealer to which an offer may be made as
hereinbefore provided shall be actually engaged in the investment banking or
securities business, shall execute the written agreement prescribed by Section
24(c) of Article III of the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), and shall either be a member in good
standing of the NASD or be a foreign dealer or institution not eligible for
membership in the NASD which agrees to make no offers or sales of the Securities
in the United States, its territories, or its possessions or to persons who are
citizens thereof or residents therein, and, in making sales, to comply with the
NASD's interpretation with respect to Free-Riding and Withholding and Sections 8
and 36 of Article III of the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice as if it were a NASD
member and Section 25 of such Article III as it applies to a non-member broker
or dealer in a foreign country. The several Underwriters may allow, and the
Dealers, if any, may re-allow, such concession or concessions as Rickel may from
time to time determine on sales of Securities, to any eligible broker or dealer,
all subject to the Rules of Fair Practice of the NASD.
The Underwriters may make purchases or sales of Securities, from or to
any of the Dealers, at the Offering Price less all or any part of the concession
to Dealers.
5. Repurchases in the Open Market. Any Securities sold by any
------------------------------
Underwriter (other than through Rickel) which, prior to the termination of this
Agreement or such earlier date as Rickel may determine, shall be contracted for
or purchased in the open market by Rickel, on behalf of the Underwriters, for a
price that is at or below the Offering Price and is not greater than the inside
bid price at the time of such contract or purchase, shall be repurchased by such
Underwriters on demand at a price equal to the cost of such purchase (including
commissions and taxes paid in connection with such purchase) plus commissions
and taxes on redelivery. Any Securities delivered on such repurchases need not
be the identical Securities originally sold by such Underwriter. In lieu of
delivery of such Securities to such Underwriter, Rickel may (a) sell such
Securities in any manner for such Underwriter's account and charge such
Underwriter with the amount of any loss or expense, or credit such Underwriter
with the amount of any profit less any expense, resulting from such sale, or (b)
charge such Underwriter's account with an amount not in excess of the concession
to Dealers on such Securities, plus commissions and taxes paid in delivered on
such purchase.
6. Delivery and Payment. Each of us severally agrees to deliver to
--------------------
Rickel at or before 9:30 A.M., New York City Time, on the Firm Closing Date and
any Option Closing Date referred to in the Underwriting Agreement, at the
offices of Rickel & Associates, Inc., 875 Third
-3-
<PAGE>
Avenue, New York, New York 10022 (or at such other place as may be designated by
agreement among Underwriters) a certified or official bank check in New York
Clearing House funds payable to the order of the Company for an amount equal to
the Offering Price, less the selling concession, of either (a) the Securities
which it is then obligated to purchase pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement,
or (b) such of its Securities which has not been sold or reserved for sale in
Retail Sales or to Dealers, as Rickel directs. The proceeds of such check shall
be applied, in the manner provided in the Underwriting Agreement, to the payment
of the purchase price of such Securities, against delivery of certificates
therefor to Rickel, for the account of the Underwriter delivering such check.
Rickel is authorized to accept such delivery and to give receipts therefor. If
an Underwriter fails (whether or not such failure shall constitute a default
hereunder) to deliver to Rickel, or Rickel fails to receive, an Underwriter's
check for the Securities which an Underwriter has agreed to purchase, at the
time and in the manner provided in this Section 6, Rickel, individually, is
hereby authorized (but shall not be obligated) to make payment for such
Securities for such Underwriter's account, but any such payment shall not
relieve such Underwriter of any of its obligations under the Underwriting
Agreement or under this Agreement, and such Underwriter agrees to repay on
demand the amount so advanced for its account (plus interest at then prevailing
broker's loan rates).
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6, if
transactions in the Securities can be settled through the facilities of The
Depository Trust Company, payment for and delivery of an Underwriter's
Securities will be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company
if it is a member, unless it has otherwise notified Rickel prior to a date to be
specified by Rickel, or, if such Underwriter is not a member, settlement may be
made through a correspondent which is a member pursuant to instructions such
Underwriter may send to Rickel prior to such specified date.
Each Underwriter also agrees on demand to take up and pay for or to
deliver to Rickel funds sufficient to pay for at cost any Securities purchased
by Rickel for its account pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, and to
deliver to Rickel on demand any Securities sold or over-allotted by Rickel for
its account pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. Each of us also
authorizes Rickel to deliver its Securities and any other Securities purchased
by Rickel for its account, pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof,
against sales made by Rickel for. its account pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement.
Upon receipt by Rickel of payment for the Securities sold by or
through Rickel for any other Underwriter's account, Rickel will (c) with respect
to such Securities paid for by such Underwriter, remit to such Underwriter
promptly an amount equal to the purchase price paid by, such Underwriter for
such Securities and credit or debit such Underwriter's account on Rickel's books
with the difference between the selling price and the purchase price of such
Securities as set forth in Section 2 of the Underwriting Agreement, and (d) with
respect to such Securities not paid for by such Underwriter, credit or debit
such Underwriter's account on Rickel's books with the difference between the
selling price and the purchase price of such Securities as set forth in Section
2 of the Underwriting Agreement. Rickel agrees to cause to be delivered to each
other Underwriter, as soon as practicable after the Firm Closing Date and any
Option Closing Date, as the case may be, such part
-4-
<PAGE>
of such Underwriter's Securities as shall not have been sold or reserved for
sale by Rickel for its account.
In case any Securities reserved for sale in Retail Sales or to Dealers
shall not be purchased and paid for in due course as contemplated hereby, each
Underwriter agrees to accept delivery when tendered by Rickel of any Securities
so reserved for such Underwriter's account and not so purchased and paid for
and, in case such Underwriter shall have received payment from Rickel in respect
of any such Securities, to reimburse Rickel on demand for the full amount which
Rickel shall have paid such Underwriter in respect of such Securities.
7. Authority to Borrow. We authorize Rickel (to the extent permitted
-------------------
by law) to advance Rickel funds for our respective accounts (charging then
prevailing broker's loan rates) and to arrange loans and to purchase funds for
our respective accounts for the purpose of carrying out this Agreement and, in
connection therewith, to execute and deliver any notes or other instruments and
to hold or pledge as security therefor all or any part of the Securities
purchased by us pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or any other Securities
purchased by Rickel for our accounts pursuant to the provisions of Section 8
hereof as Rickel shall determine in its discretion. Any lender is hereby
authorized to accept Rickel's instructions in all matters relating to such loans
and purchase of funds. We will repay on demand any such advances, loans, or
purchases, including interest thereon at then prevailing broker's loan rates.
8. Stabilization and Over Allotment. We authorize Rickel, until the
--------------------------------
termination of this Agreement, (a) to make purchases and sales of Securities in
the open market or otherwise, for long or short account, and on such terms and
at such prices as Rickel in its discretion may deem desirable, (b) in arranging
for sales of Securities to Dealers, to over allot, and (c) either before or
after the termination of this Agreement, to cover any over allotment or short
position incurred pursuant to this Section 8; subject, however, to the
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). All such purchases, sales, and over-
allotments shall be made for the accounts of the Underwriters as nearly as
practicable in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations;
provided, however, that each Underwriters net position resulting from such
purchases and sales and over-allotments shall not at any time exceed, either for
long or short account, 15% of the maximum number of Securities agreed to be
purchased by each Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement.
If any Underwriter engages in any stabilizing transactions, it shall
promptly notify that the other Underwriters of the date and time stabilizing
commences and terminates and, with respect to any transaction which is a
stabilizing purchase, it shall notify the other Underwriters within three
business days following such purchase of the information required by Rule 17a-
2(d) under the Exchange Act.
Each of us agrees to advise Rickel, from time to time upon request
until the settlement of accounts hereunder, of the number of Securities at the
time retained by such Underwriter unsold, and such Underwriter will, upon
request, sell to Rickel such number of such Underwriter's unsold
-5-
<PAGE>
Securities as Rickel may designate, at the Offering Price less such amount, not
in excess of the concession to Dealers, as Rickel may determine.
9. Open Market Transactions. Each Underwriter agrees that, except
------------------------
with Rickel's consent and except as herein provided, it will not, prior to the
termination of this Agreement or until Rickel notifies such Underwriter that it
is released from this restriction, bid for, purchase, or sell, directly or
indirectly, for its own account, in the open market or otherwise, or attempt to
induce others to bid for, purchase, or sell, either before or after the sale of
the Securities and either for long or short account, any Securities or any right
to purchase any such security, and, prior to the completion (as defined in Rule
l0b-6 under the Exchange Act) of its participation in the distribution, it will
otherwise comply with Rule l0b-6. Each Underwriter represents that it has
complied with Rule l0b-6 in connection with the offering. Nothing in this
Section 9 shall prohibit it from acting as broker or agent in the execution of
unsolicited orders of customers for the purchase or sale of any securities of
the Company.
10. "Blue Sky". Prior to the initial offering by the Underwriters,
----------
Rickel will inform the other Underwriters as to the advice Rickel has received
from counsel concerning the jurisdictions under the respective "blue sky" or
securities laws of which it is believed that the Securities have been qualified
or registered or are exempt for offer and sale, but Rickel has not assumed and
will not assume any responsibility or obligation as to the accuracy of such
information or as to the right of any Underwriter or any Dealer to offer or sell
the Securities in any jurisdiction. Rickel agrees, however, to cause to be
filed a Further State Notice with respect to the Securities if, in the opinion
of counsel for the Underwriters, such filing, is required by Article 23-A of the
General Business Law of the State of New York.
Each Underwriter authorizes Rickel, if Rickel deems it advisable in
arranging sales of Securities for such Underwriter's account hereunder, to sell
any of such Underwriter's Securities to any particular Dealer or other buyer
because of the "blue sky" or securities laws of any jurisdiction, to purchase
such Underwriter's Securities at the Offering Price less, in the case of a
purchase for resale to a Dealer, such amount, not in excess of the concession to
dealers, as Rickel may determine. The transfer tax, if any, on any such sales
shall be treated as an expense and charged to such Underwriter's account.
11. Default by Underwriters. Default by any Underwriter, in respect
-----------------------
of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, shall not release the other
Underwriters from any of their obligations or in any way affect the liability of
the defaulting Underwriter to the other Underwriters for damages resulting from
such default.
12. Termination of Agreement. Unless earlier terminated by Rickel,
------------------------
the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 hereof shall, except as
otherwise provided therein, terminate at the close of business on the 30th full
business day after the Effective Date, but may be extended by Rickel for an
additional period or periods not exceeding thirty full business days in the
aggregate. Rickel may terminate any of such provisions at any time by notice to
the other Underwriters and Rickel may
-6-
<PAGE>
terminate all such provisions at any time by notice to the other Underwriters to
the effect that the offering provisions of this Agreement are terminated.
13. General Position of the Representative. In taking action under
--------------------------------------
this Agreement, Rickel shall act as agent of the Underwriters, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein where Rickel may act individually.
Rickel's authority hereunder shall include the taking of such actions as it may
deem advisable in respect of all matters pertaining to any and all offers and
sales of the Securities; including the right to make any modifications which
Rickel considers necessary or desirable in the arrangements with Dealers or
others. Rickel shall be under no liability for or in respect of the value of
the Securities or the validity or the form thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus,
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Underwriting Agreement, or other
instruments executed by the Company or others; or for or in respect of the
delivery of the Securities; or for the performance by the Company or others of
any agreement on its or their part; nor shall Rickel be liable to any other
Underwriter under any of the provisions hereof or for any matters connected
herewith, except for want of good faith; and no obligation not expressly assumed
by Rickel herein shall be implied from this Agreement. Nothing herein contained
shall constitute the Underwriters partners with each other, or render any
Underwriter liable for the commitments of the other Underwriters, except as
otherwise provided in Section 11 hereof. The commitments and liabilities of
each of the Underwriters are several in accordance with their respective
underwriting obligations and are not joint. If for federal income tax purposes
the Underwriters should be deemed to constitute a partnership, then each
Underwriter elects to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K, Chapter
1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and agrees not
to take any position inconsistent with such election. Rickel is authorized, in
its discretion, to execute and file on behalf of the Underwriters such evidence
of such election as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service.
14. Acknowledgment of Registration Statement. Each of us hereby
----------------------------------------
confirms that it has received and examined the Registration Statement and the
related Preliminary Prospectus in respect of the Securities as heretofore filed
with the Commission, that it is familiar with any amendment to the Registration
Statement which may have been filed and the final form of amendment and
Prospectus proposed to be filed, that it is willing to accept the
responsibilities of an Underwriter thereunder, and that it is willing to proceed
as therein contemplated. Each of us further confirms that the statements made
under the heading "Underwriting" in such proposed final form of Prospectus,
insofar as they relate to it, does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of us
understands that the aforementioned documents are subject to further change and
that it will be supplied with copies of any amendment or supplement to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus promptly, if and when received by
Rickel, but the making of such changes, amendments, or supplements shall not
release any Underwriter or affect its obligations hereunder or under the
Underwriting Agreement.
15. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Each of the Underwriters
--------------------------------
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each other Underwriter, its officers,
directors, partners, employees,
-7-
<PAGE>
agents, and counsel and each person, if any, who controls any such Underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange
Act, to the extent and upon the terms which the Underwriters agree to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company as act forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
(b) Each Underwriter will pay, upon request, as contribution, its
proportionate share, based upon its underwriting obligation, of any losses,
liabilities, claims or damages, joint or several, paid or incurred by any
Underwriter to any person other than an Underwriter, arising out of, based upon,
or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, any other
selling or advertising material approved by Rickel for use by the Underwriters
in connection with the sale of the Securities, or in any application or other
document or communication executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon
written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any
jurisdiction in order to qualify the Securities under the "blue sky" or
securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission or any securities exchange,
or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
(other than a statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company with respect to any Underwriter by
or on behalf of such Underwriter expressly for inclusion therein); and will pay
such proportionate share, based upon its underwriting obligation, of all
attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred by
Rickel or, with Rickel's consent, in investigating, preparing or defending
against any such loss, liability, claim, or damage, or any action in respect
thereof, and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation. In
determining the amount of the Underwriters' respective obligations under this
Section 15(b), appropriate adjustment shall be made to reflect any amounts
received by any Underwriter in respect of such untrue statement, alleged untrue
statement, omission, or alleged omission from the Company pursuant to Section 6
of the Underwriting Agreement or otherwise. There shall be credited against any
amount paid or payable by an Underwriter pursuant to this Section 15(b) any
loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense which is reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter as a result of any such claim asserted against such Underwriter
(other than fees and disbursements of separate counsel for such Underwriter, if
such counsel is not approved by Rickel, as provided in the next sentence), and
if such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense is incurred by such
Underwriter subsequent to any payment by it pursuant to this Section 15(b),
appropriate provision shall be made to effect such credit, by refund or
otherwise. If any such claim is asserted or any action is commenced in respect
thereto. Rickel may take such action in connection therewith as it deems
necessary or desirable, including retaining counsel for the Underwriters, and,
in Rickel's discretion, separate counsel for the other Underwriters, and the
fees and disbursements of any counsel so retained, shall be included in the
amounts payable pursuant to this Section 15(b).
(c) Each Underwriter's indemnity and contribution agreements contained
in this Section 15 shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the other Underwriter or
its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, counsel, or controlling
persons (if any) and shall survive the delivery of the Securities to the
Underwriters and
-8-
<PAGE>
the termination of this Agreement. In determining amounts payable pursuant to
Section 15(b) hereof, any loss, liability, claim damage, or expense incurred by
any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act or by any officer, director, partner,
employee, agent, or counsel of any Underwriter which has been incurred by reason
of such control or other relationship shall be deemed to have been incurred by
such Underwriter. Any Underwriter shall have the right to employ its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Underwriter except as provided in Section 15(b) hereof. No Underwriter may
settle any such claim or action, except on advice of counsel retained by Rickel
and with the approval of the other Underwriter. Whenever an Underwriter
receives notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any action
to which the provisions of Section 15(b) hereof would be applicable, such
Underwriter will give prompt notice thereof to the other Underwriter. If either
Underwriter shall default in its obligation to make payments under Section 15(b)
hereof, the non-defaulting Underwriter may pay all defaulted payments; however,
nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of liability for its
default.
16. Capital Requirements. Each Underwriter confirms that it can, in
--------------------
accordance with, and pursuant to, Rule 15c3-1 promulgated by the Commission
under the Exchange Act, and any applicable rules relating to capital
requirements of any securities exchange to which it is subject, agrees to
purchase the numbers of shares of Securities it is obligated to purchase under
any provision of the Underwriting Agreement or this Agreement.
17. Undertaking to Mail Prospectuses. As contemplated by Rule 15c2-8
--------------------------------
under the Exchange Act, each Underwriter agrees to mail a copy of the Prospectus
to any person making a written request therefor, during the period referred to
in Rule 15c2-8, such mailing to be made to the address given in the request.
Each Underwriter confirms that it has delivered all Preliminary Prospectuses
required to be delivered under the provisions of Rule 15c2-8 and agrees to
deliver all Prospectuses and amendments or supplements thereto required to be
delivered under Rule 15c2-8. Rickel has heretofore delivered to each other
Underwriter such Preliminary Prospectuses as have been requested by it, receipt
of which is hereby acknowledged, and will deliver such copies of the Prospectus,
and any supplements and amendments thereto, as will be requested by any other
Underwriter.
18. Miscellaneous. Any notice hereunder shall be deemed to have been
-------------
duly given if sent by registered mail, telegram, telecopy, telex, or teletype,
to Rickel and Associates, Inc., 875 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022
(telecopy no. (212) 754-9646) and to us at our respective addresses and telecopy

Each of us agrees that it will not, without Rickel's consent, sell any
Securities to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority.
We understand that Rickel is a member in good standing of the NASD.
We represent that it is actually engaged in the investment banking or securities
business and that it is a member in good standing of the NASD which agrees to
comply with all applicable rules of the NASD, including,
-9-
<PAGE>
without limitation, the NASD's interpretation with respect to Free-Riding and
Withholding and Section 24 of Article III of the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice.
This Agreement may be signed in counterparts which together shall
constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective at such time as
all of the Underwriters shall have signed such counterparts.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, without giving effect to rules respecting conflicts of laws.
Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

ARTICLE V
---------
Management of the Corporation
The following provisions are inserted for the management of the
business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further
definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of
its directors and shareholders:
A. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by
or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and
authority expressly conferred upon them by Statute or by these Articles of
Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the directors are hereby
empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be
exercised or done by the Corporation.
B. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders
of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called Annual or Special Meeting
of Shareholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in
writing by such shareholders.
C. Special Meetings of Shareholders of the Corporation may be
called by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority
of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any
vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution
is presented to the Board for adoption) (the "Full Board"), or by the holders of
not less than fifty percent (50%) of all the votes entitled to be cast on any
issue at the proposed special meeting if such holders of stock sign, date and
deliver to the Corporation's Secretary one or more written demands for the
meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which the special meeting is to
be held.
ARTICLE VI
----------
Number of Directors; Vacancies and Removal
A. The initial number of directors of the Corporation shall be
three (3). The number of directors may be either increased or diminished from
time to time in the manner provided in the Bylaws, but shall never be less than
one (1) nor more than twenty-five (25). The directors shall be divided into
three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall
consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third (33 1/3%) of the Full Board.
The term of the Class I directors shall terminate on the date of the 1997 annual
meeting of shareholders, the term
4
<PAGE>
of the Class II directors shall terminate on the date of the 1998 annual meeting
of shareholders and the term of the Class III directors shall terminate on the
date of the 1999 annual meeting of shareholders. At each annual meeting of
shareholders beginning in 1997, successors to the class of directors whose term
expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three (3) year term. If
the number of directors has changed, any increase or decrease shall be
apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each
class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional directors of any class
elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold
office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but
in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any
incumbent director.
B. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the
year in which his term expires and until his successors shall be elected and
shall qualify, subject, however, to the director's prior death, resignation,
retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Subject to the rights of
the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any vacancy on
the Board of Directors, howsoever resulting (including vacancies created as a
result of a resolution of the Board of Directors increasing the authorized
number of directors), may be filled by a majority of the directors then in
office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any
director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for a term that shall
coincide with the term of the class to which such director shall have been
elected.
C. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred
Stock then outstanding, any directors, or the entire Board of Directors, may be
removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all
of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors. "Cause" shall be defined as a
breach of fiduciary duty involving personal dishonesty, an intentional failure
to perform stated duties as a director which results in substantial loss to the
Corporation or a willful violation of any law, rule, regulation or final cease
and desist order which results in substantial loss to the Corporation.
D. Advance notice of shareholder nominations for the election of
directors and of business to be brought by shareholders before any meeting of
the shareholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in
Article VII herein and the Bylaws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VII
-----------
Shareholder Nomination of Director Candidates
Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following
procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board at an annual or special meeting
of shareholders may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board by any
nominating committee of or person appointed by the Board or (ii) by any
shareholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at
the meeting who
5
<PAGE>
complies with the procedures set forth in this Article VII; provided, however,
that nominations of persons for election to the Board at a special meeting may
be made only if the election of directors is one of the purposes described in
the special meeting notice required by Section 607.0705 of the Florida Business
Corporation Act. Nominations of persons for election at annual meetings, other
than nominations made by or at the direction of the Board, including by any
nominating committee, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the
Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) days nor more than one
hundred eighty (180) days in advance of the date of the Corporation's notice of
annual meeting provided with respect to the previous year's annual meeting;
provided, however, that if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or
the date of the annual meeting has been changed to be more than thirty (30)
calendar days earlier than the date contemplated by the previous year's proxy
statement, such notice by the shareholder to be timely must be received no later
than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the date on which
notice of the date of the annual meeting is given to shareholders or made
public, whichever first occurs. Such shareholder's notice to the Secretary
shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate
for election or re-election as a director at the annual meeting; (i) the name,
age, business address and residence address of the proposed nominee, (ii) the
principal occupation or employment of the proposed nominee, (iii) the class and
number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially
owned by the proposed nominee, and (iv) any other information relating to the
proposed nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies
for election of directors pursuant to Rule 14a under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended; and (b) as to the shareholder giving the notice of nominees
for election at the annual meeting, (i) the name and record address of the
shareholder, and (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the
Corporation which are beneficially owned by the shareholder. The Corporation
may require any proposed nominee for election at an annual or special meeting of
shareholders to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by
the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve
as a director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a
director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth herein. The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare in the meeting that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the requirements of this Article VII, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall
be disregarded.
ARTICLE VIII

Acquisition Offers
The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consider all factors
it deems relevant in evaluating any proposed tender offer or exchange offer for
the Corporation or any Subsidiary's stock, any proposed merger or consolidation
of the Corporation or a Subsidiary with or into another entity and any proposal
to purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all the assets of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary. The Board of Directors shall evaluate whether
the
6
<PAGE>
proposal is in the best interests of the Corporation and its subsidiaries by
considering the best interests of the shareholders and other factors the
directors determine to be relevant, including the social, legal and economic
effects on employees, customers and the communities served by the Corporation
and any Subsidiary. The Board of Directors shall evaluate the consideration
being offered to the shareholders in relation to the then current market value
of the Corporation or any Subsidiary in a freely negotiated transaction, and the
Board of Directors' estimate of the future value of stock of the Corporation or
any Subsidiary as an independent entity.

shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal
representatives of such a person. Except as otherwise required by law, an
adjudication of liability shall not affect the right to indemnification for

ARTICLE I
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
------------------------
Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders of this
--------------
Corporation shall be held annually at the time and place designated by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation. Business transacted at the annual meeting
shall include the election of directors of the Corporation, in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, and all other duties
and powers conferred upon the shareholders by the laws of the State of Florida.
Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders shall
----------------
be held when directed by the Board of Directors through a resolution adopted by
a majority of the total number of directors (whether or not any vacancies of
previously authorized directorships exist at the time the Board is presented
with such resolution), or when requested in writing by the holders of not less
than ten percent (10%) of all the shares entitled to vote on any issue at the
meeting, upon the giving of notice as provided in Article I, Section 4 of these
Bylaws. The call for the meeting shall be issued by the Secretary or the
shareholders requesting the special meeting, unless the President, the Board of
Directors or such shareholders designate another person to do so.
<PAGE>
Section 3. Place. Meetings of shareholders may be held within or outside
-----
of the State of Florida. If no place is designated in the notice for a meeting
of shareholders, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the
Corporation.
Section 4. Notice. Except as provided in the Florida Business Corporation
------
Act ("the Act"), written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting,
and in the case of a special meeting, or as otherwise provided by law, the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered to each
shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Such notice shall be
given at least ten (10) but not more than sixty (60) days before the date of the
meeting, by first class mail by the Secretary or, in the case of a special
meeting duly called by the shareholders, the shareholders requesting the
special meeting, unless the President, the Board of Directors or such
shareholders designate another person to do so. Such notice shall be mailed to
each shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the books of the
Corporation. If the notice is mailed at least thirty (30) days before the date
of the meeting, it may be done by a class of United States mail other than first
class. Such notice is deemed delivered when deposited in the United States mail
with postage prepaid thereon.
Section 5. Notice of Adjourned Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to
----------------------------
another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the
adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned
meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the
original date of the meeting. If, however, after the adjournment the Board of
Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the
adjourned meeting
2
<PAGE>
shall be given as provided in Article I, Section 4 of these Bylaws to each
shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at such meeting.
Section 6. Waiver of Notice of Shareholders Meetings. Whenever any notice
-----------------------------------------
is required to be given to any shareholder, a waiver thereof in writing signed
by the shareholder or shareholders entitled to such notice, whether before,
during or after the time of the meeting stated therein and delivered to the
Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records,
shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance by a shareholder
at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of: (a) lack of notice or defective
notice of such meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting
objects to holding the meeting; or (b) lack of defective notice of a particular
matter at a meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the
meeting notice, unless the person objects to considering that particular matter
when it is presented. Unless otherwise required by the Articles of
Incorporation, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any
regular or special meeting of the shareholders need be specified in any written
waiver of notice.
Section 7. Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining
------------------
shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareholders
or any adjournment thereof, or to demand a special meeting, or to receive
payment of any distribution, or in order to make a determination of shareholders
for any other purpose, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the
record date for any determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be
not more than seventy (70) days prior to the date on which the particular action
requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. A determination of
shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareholders
shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Board of
3
<PAGE>
Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, which it must do if
the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after
the date fixed for the original meeting.
Section 8. Voting Record. After fixing a record date for a meeting of
-------------
shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of
all shareholders who are entitled to notice of such meeting, arranged by voting
group, with the address of, and the number and class and series, if any, of the
shares held by, each shareholder. The shareholders' list must be available for
inspection by any shareholder for a period of ten (10) days prior to the meeting
or such shorter time as exists between the record date and the meeting and
continuing through the meeting at the Corporation's principal office, at a place
identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held, or
at the office of the Corporation's transfer agent or registrar. Any shareholder
of the Corporation or his agent or attorney is entitled on written demand to
inspect the shareholders' list (subject to the requirements of the Act), during
regular business hours and at the shareholder's expense, during the period it is
available for inspection. The Corporation shall make the shareholders' list
available at the meeting of shareholders, and any shareholder or his agent or
attorney is entitled to inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any
adjournment.
If the requirements of this Section have not been substantially complied
with, the meeting shall be adjourned until such time as the Corporation complies
with such requirements on demand of any shareholder in person or by proxy who
failed to get such access. If no such demand is made, failure to comply with
the requirements of this Section shall not affect the validity of any action
taken at such meeting.
4
<PAGE>
Section 9. Shareholder Quorum and Voting. Shares entitled to vote as a
-----------------------------
separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum
of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Except as otherwise
provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by the Act, a majority of the
shares entitled to vote on the matter by each voting group, represented in
person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders,
but in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares of
each voting group entitled to vote. If less than a majority of outstanding
shares entitled to vote are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares
so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.
After a quorum has been established at any shareholders' meeting, the subsequent
withdrawal of shareholders, so as to reduce the number of shares entitled to
vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum, shall not affect the
validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. For
purposes of determining a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes shall be
deemed to be shares entitled to vote on a matter.
Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed
present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any
adjournment of that meeting, unless a new record date is or must be set for that
adjourned meeting. When a specified item of business is required to be voted on
by a class or series of stock, a majority of the shares of such class or series
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such item of business by that
class or series.
Section 10. Votes Per Share. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles
---------------
of Incorporation or by the Act, each outstanding share, regardless of class,
shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of
shareholders.
5
<PAGE>
Section 11. Manner of Action. If a quorum is present, action on a matter
----------------
(other than the election of directors) by a voting group is approved if the
votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast
opposing the action, unless a greater or lesser number of affirmative votes is
required by the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or by law.
Section 12. Voting for Directors. At each election for directors, every
--------------------
shareholder entitled to vote at such election shall have the right to vote, in
person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him or her for as many persons
as there are directors to be elected at that time and for whose election he or
she has a right to vote. Unless otherwise and affirmatively provided for in the
Articles of Incorporation, cumulative voting is not authorized and the directors
shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote
in such election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
Section 13. Voting of Shares. A shareholder may vote at any duly called
----------------
and noticed meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, either in person or by
proxy.
Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign,
may be voted by the officer, agent or proxy designated by the bylaws of the
corporate shareholder or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person
as the board of directors of the corporate shareholder may designate. Proof of
such designation may be made by presentation of a certified copy of the Bylaws
or other instrument of the corporate shareholder. In the absence of any such
designation or, in the case of conflicting designation by the corporate
shareholder, the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president, the
secretary and the treasurer of the corporate shareholder shall be presumed to
possess, in that order, authority to vote such shares.
6
<PAGE>
Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, personal
representative or conservator may be voted by him or her, either in person or by
proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his or her name. Shares standing
in the name of a trustee may be voted by him or her, either in person or by
proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him or her
without a transfer of such shares into his or her name or the name of his or her
nominee.
Shares held by or under the control of a receiver, a trustee in bankruptcy
proceedings or an assignee for the benefit of creditors may be voted by such
person without the transfer thereof into his or her name.
If a share or shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons,
whether as fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in
common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the
same fiduciary relationship with respect to the same shares, unless the
Secretary of the Corporation is given notice to the contrary and is furnished
with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the
relationship wherein it is so provided, then acts with respect to voting shall
have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, in person or by proxy, that
act binds all; (b) if more than one votes, in person or by proxy, the act of the
majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one votes, in person or by proxy,
but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction is entitled
to vote the share or shares in question proportionally; or (d) if the instrument
or order so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interest, a
majority or a vote evenly split for purposes hereof shall be a majority or a
vote evenly split in interest. The principles of this paragraph shall apply,
insofar as possible, to execution of proxies, waivers, consents, or objections
and for the purpose of ascertaining the presence of a quorum.
7
<PAGE>
Section 14. Proxies. Any shareholder of the Corporation, other person
-------
entitled to vote on behalf of a shareholder pursuant to the Act, or attorney-in-
fact for such persons, may vote the shareholder's shares in person or by proxy.
Any shareholder of the Corporation may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act
for him or her by signing an appointment form, either personally or by an
attorney-in-fact. An executed telegram or cablegram appearing to have been
transmitted by such person, or a photographic, photostatic, or equivalent
reproduction of an appointment form, shall be deemed a sufficient appointment
form.
An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary of
the Corporation or such other officer or agent which is authorized to tabulate
votes, and shall be valid for up to eleven (11) months, unless a longer period
is expressly provided in the appointment form.
The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not
affect the right of the Corporation to accept the proxy's authority unless
notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Secretary or other officer
or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his authority
under the appointment.
An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the
appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment
is coupled with an interest.
Section 15. Voting Trusts. One or more shareholders may create a voting
-------------
trust, conferring on a trustee the right to vote or otherwise act for them, by
signing an agreement setting out the provisions of the trust and transferring
their shares to the trustee. When a voting trust agreement is signed, the
trustee shall prepare a list of the names and addresses of all owners of
beneficial interest in the trust, together with the number and class of shares
each transferred to the trust, and deliver copies of the list and agreement to
the Corporation's principal office.
8
<PAGE>
After filing a copy of the list and agreement in the Corporation's principal
office, such copies shall be open to inspection by any shareholder of the
Corporation, subject to the requirements of the Act, or to any beneficiary of
the trust under the agreement during business hours. The trustee must also
deliver a copy of each extension of the voting trust agreement, and a list of
beneficial owners under such extended agreement, to the Corporation's principal
office.
Section 16. Shareholders' Agreements. Two or more shareholders may
------------------------
provide for the manner in which they will vote their shares, and providing for
such other matters as are permitted by the Act, by signing an agreement for that
purpose. When a shareholders' agreement is signed, the shareholders who are
parties thereto shall deliver copies of the agreement to the Corporation's
principal office. After filing a copy of the agreement in the Corporation's
principal office, such copies shall be open to inspection by any shareholder of
the Corporation, subject to the requirements of the Act, or any party to the
agreement during business hours.
Section 17. Nominations for Director. Nominations for election to the
------------------------
Board of Directors may be made by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder
of any outstanding class of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote
for the election of directors; provided, however, that such shareholder complies
with the procedures for nomination of directors set forth in this Section 17 and
the Articles of Incorporation. Nominations, other than those made by or on
behalf of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, shall be made in writing
and shall be delivered or mailed to the Secretary of the Corporation at the
principal executive office of the Corporation, not less than one hundred twenty
(120) days and not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any meeting
of shareholders called for the election of directors; provided, however, that if
no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual
9
<PAGE>
meeting has been changed to be more than thirty (30) calendar days earlier than
the date contemplated by the previous year's statement, such notice by the
shareholder to be timely must be received no later than the close of business on
the tenth (10th) day following the date on which notice of the date of the
annual meeting is given to shareholders or made public, whichever first occurs.
Such notification shall contain the following information to the extent known to
the notifying shareholder: (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes
to nominate for election or re-election as a director at the annual meeting; (i)
the name, age, business address and residence address of the proposed nominee,
(ii) the principal occupation or employment of the proposed nominee, (iii) the
class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are
beneficially owned by the proposed nominee, and (iv) any other information
relating to the proposed nominee that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Rule 14a under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (b) as to the shareholder
giving the notice of nominees for election at the annual meeting, (i) the name
and record address of the shareholder, and (ii) the class and number of shares
of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the
shareholder. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee for election at
an annual or special meeting of shareholders to furnish such other information
as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of
such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. No person
shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated
in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. The Chairman of the meeting
shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare in the meeting that a
nomination was not made in accordance with the requirements of this
10
<PAGE>
Section 17, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting
and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
Section 18. Inspectors of Election. Prior to each meeting of

with strict impartiality and to the best of his ability. Such Inspector(s)
shall determine the number of shares outstanding, the number of shares present
at the meeting and whether a quorum is present at such meeting. The
Inspector(s) shall receive votes and ballots and shall determine all challenges
and questions as to the right to vote and shall thereafter count and tabulate
all votes and ballots and determine the result. Such Inspector(s) shall do such
further acts as are proper to conduct the elections of directors and the vote
on other matters with fairness to all shareholders. The Inspector(s) shall make
a certificate of the results of the elections of directors and the vote on other
matters. No Inspector shall be a candidate for election as a director of the
Corporation.

vote of shareholders holding not less than a majority of all issued and
outstanding shares of the Corporation at any meeting called for such purpose. A
director may not be removed without such a meeting, notwithstanding any other

vote to remove that director. The notice of the meeting at which a vote is taken
to remove a director must state that the purpose or one of the purposes of the
meeting is the removal of the director or directors.
Section 6. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by delivering
-----------
written notice to the Corporation, the Board of Directors or its Chairman. Such

occurring in the Board of Directors, including any vacancy created by reason of
an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of

Directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for a term

been elected.
Section 8. Regular Meetings. An annual regular meeting of the Board of
-----------------
Directors shall be held without notice as soon as practicable after the annual

reasonable means, whether oral or written, and at any reasonable time prior to

to each director at his or her business or residence address, is reasonable. If
mailed, such notice of any special meeting shall be deemed to be delivered on
the second day after it is deposited in the United States mail, so addressed,
with postage thereon prepaid. If notice is given by electronic transmission,
such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the notice is delivered by the
electronic device. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose or
purposes of, any special meetings of the Board of Directors need be specified in
the notice or in any written waiver of notice of such meeting.
Section 10. Waiver of Notice of Meeting. Notice of a meeting of the Board
---------------------------
of Directors need not be given to any director who signs a written waiver of
notice either before, during or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at
a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and waiver of any
and all objections to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting and the
manner in which it has been called or convened, except when a director states,

of the remaining directors until the vacancy has been filled. The act of the
majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present when
the vote is taken shall be the act of the Board of Directors.
A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum exists, may
adjourn any meeting of the Board of Directors to another time and place. Notice
of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to the directors who were not
present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the
adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other
directors.

---------------------
present at a meeting of its Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of
Directors, at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to
have assented to the action taken, unless he or she (i) objects at the beginning

transacting specified business at the meeting, or (ii) votes against such action

be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof may be
taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, is signed by all of the directors of this Corporation, or all the members
of the committee, as the case may be. Action taken under this Section is
effective when the last director or member of the committee signs the consent,
unless the consent specifies a different effective date. Such consent shall
have the effect as a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.
Section 15. Compensation. Each director may be paid his expenses, if any,
------------
of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and a committee thereof,

transaction between this Corporation and one or more of its directors or any
other corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of the

interested shall be either void or voidable because of such relationship or
interest, or because such director or directors of this Corporation are present
at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which
authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction, or because his or
their vote(s) are counted for such purpose, if:
16
<PAGE>

Corporation at the time it is authorized by the Board of Directors, a committee
thereof or the shareholders.

time to time by the Board of Directors:

par value, such shares shall be issued at not less than the par value, and there
shall be transferred to stated capital at the time such dividend is paid an
amount of surplus equal to the aggregate par value of the shares to be issued as
a dividend;
26
<PAGE>
(2) If a dividend is payable in its own shares without par
value, such shares shall be issued at such stated value as shall be fixed by the

dividend is paid an amount of surplus equal to the aggregate stated value so
fixed in respect to such shares, and the amount per share so transferred to
stated capital shall be disclosed to the shareholders receiving such dividend
concurrently with the payment thereof.
(d) No dividend payable in shares of any class shall be paid to
the holders of the shares of any other class unless the Articles of
Incorporation so provide, or such payment is authorized by the affirmative vote
or the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
shares of the class in which the payment is to be made.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1. Insurance. The Board of Directors of the Corporation, in
---------
its discretion, shall have authority on behalf of the Corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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, partner, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
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 liability under the
provisions of this Article. The provisions of the following sections of this
Article VIII shall apply only in the event that no such insurance is in effect
or, if such insurance is in effect,
27

only to the extent that matters for which indemnification by the Corporation is
permitted by such sections are not within the coverage of such insurance.
Section 2. Action Against a Party Because of Corporation Position.
------------------------------------------------------
The Corporation shall indemnify each officer or director, and may indemnify, in
its sole discretion, any employee or agent who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed claim,
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 or she 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, partner, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, a
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, including any appeal thereof, if he or she 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. The
termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful.

<PAGE>
was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened,
pending, or completed claim, action or suit by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or
she 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, partner,
officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually

or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his or her duty to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent

indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

-------------
Section 3 of this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,

standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 or Section 3 of this Article VIII, or
as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case and, in either

ENSEC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose. The purpose of the 1996 Stock Option Plan ("Plan") of
-------
Ensec International, Inc. ("Company") is to provide a means through which the
Company and its Subsidiaries may attract able persons to enter and remain in the
employ or other service of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to provide a
means whereby those key persons upon whom the responsibilities of the successful
administration and management of the Company rest, and whose present and
potential contributions to the welfare of the Company are of importance, can
acquire and maintain stock ownership, thereby strengthening their commitment to
the welfare of the Company and promoting an identity of interest between
shareholders and these key persons.
A further purpose of the Plan is to provide such key persons with
additional incentive and reward opportunities designed to enhance the profitable
growth of the Company. The Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options,
Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards,

<PAGE>
7. Stock Options. One or more Incentive Stock Options or Non-
-------------
Qualified Stock Options can be granted to any Participant; provided, however,
that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Eligible Employees, and
provided further, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Non-
Employee Directors may only receive Director Awards pursuant to Section 11
hereof and may not receive Awards of any other kind. Each Option so granted
shall be subject to the following conditions.
(a) Option Price. The option price ("Option Price") per share of
Stock shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less
than (i) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Fair Market Value of a
share of Stock at the Date of Grant, and (ii) in the case of a Non-Qualified
Stock Option, the par value per share of Stock.
(b) Manner of Exercise and Form of Payment. Options which have
become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written notice of exercise to
the Committee accompanied by payment of the Option Price. The Option Price shall
be payable in cash and/or shares of Stock valued at the Fair Market Value at the
time the Option is exercised, or, in the discretion of the Committee, either (i)
in other property having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to
the Option Price, or (ii) by delivering to the Company a copy of irrevocable
instructions to a stockbroker to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of
sale or loan proceeds sufficient to pay the Option Price.
(c) Other Terms and Conditions. If the Holder has not died or his
relationship as an officer, employee or director with the Company or a
Subsidiary has not terminated, the Option shall become exercisable in such
manner and within such period or periods ("Option Period"), not to exceed ten
(10) years from its Date of Grant, as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement to
be entered into in connection therewith.
(i) Each Option shall lapse in the following situations:
-- Ten (10) years after it is granted;
-- Three (3) months after Normal Termination, except as
otherwise provided by the Committee, or
-- Any earlier time set forth in the Stock Option
Agreement.
(ii) If the Holder terminates his relationship as an officer,
employee or director with the Company or a Subsidiary
otherwise than by Normal Termination or death, the Option
shall lapse at the time of termination.
7
<PAGE>
(iii) If the Holder dies within the Option Period or within three
(3) months after Normal Termination (or such other period
as may have been established by the Committee), the Option
shall lapse unless it is exercised within the Option Period
and in no event later than twelve (12) months after the
date of Holder's death by the Holder's legal representative
or representatives or by the person or persons entitled to
do so under the Holder's last will and testament or, if the
Holder shall fail to make testamentary disposition of such
Option or shall die intestate, by the person entitled to
receive said Option under the applicable laws of descent
and distribution.
(d) Stock Option Agreement. Each Option granted under the Plan
shall be evidenced by a "Stock Option Agreement" between the Company and the
Holder of the Option containing such provisions as may be determined by the
Committee, but shall be subject to the following terms and conditions.
(i) Each Option or portion thereof that is exercisable shall be
exercisable for the full amount or for any part thereof,
except as otherwise determined by the terms of the Stock
Option Agreement.
(ii) Each share of Stock purchased through the exercise of an
Option shall be paid for in full at the time of the
exercise. Each Option shall cease to be exercisable, as to
any share of Stock, when the Holder purchases the share or
exercises a related SAR or when the Option lapses.
(iii) Options shall not be transferable by the Holder except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be
exercisable during the Holder's lifetime only by him or
her.
(iv) Each Option shall become exercisable by the Holder in
accordance with the vesting schedule (if any) established
by the Committee for the Award.
(v) Each Stock Option Agreement may contain an agreement that,
upon demand by the Committee for such a representation, the
Holder shall deliver to the Committee at the time of any
exercise of an Option a written representation that the
shares to be acquired upon such exercise are to be acquired
for investment and not for resale or with a view to the
distribution thereof. Upon such demand, delivery of such
representation prior to the delivery of any shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be a condition precedent
to the right of the Holder or such other person to purchase
any shares. In the event certificates for Stock are
delivered under the Plan with respect to
8
<PAGE>
which such investment representation has been obtained, the
Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on
such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
representation and to restrict transfer in the absence of
compliance with applicable federal or state securities
laws.
(e) Grants to 10% Holders of Company Voting Stock. Notwithstanding
Section 7(a), if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Holder who owns stock
representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the period
specified in the Stock Option Agreement for which the Option thereunder is
granted and at the end of which such Option shall expire shall not exceed five
(5) years from the Date of Grant of such Option and the Option Price shall be at
least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value (on the Date of
Grant) of the Stock subject to the Option.
(f) Limitation. To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (as
determined as of the Date of Grant) of Stock for which Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) exceeds One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000), such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be
treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
(g) Voluntary Surrender. The Committee may permit the voluntary
surrender of all or any portion of any Non-Qualified Stock Option and its
corresponding SAR, if any, granted under the Plan to be conditioned upon the
granting to the Holder of a new Option for the same or a different number of
shares as the Option surrendered or require such voluntary surrender as a
condition precedent to a grant of a new Option to such Participant. Such new
Option shall be exercisable at the Option Price, during the exercise period, and
in accordance with any other terms or conditions specified by the Committee at
the time the new Option is granted, all determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan without regard to the Option Price, exercise period, or
any other terms and conditions of the Non-Qualified Stock Option surrendered.
(h) Order of Exercise. Options granted under the Plan may be
exercised in any order, regardless of the Date of Grant or the existence of any
other outstanding Option.
(i) Notice of Disposition. Participants shall give prompt notice to
the Company of any disposition of Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive
Stock Option if such disposition occurs within either two (2) years after the
Date of Grant of such Option and/or one (1) year after the receipt of such Stock
by the Holder.
8. Stock Appreciation Rights. Any Option granted under the Plan may
-------------------------
include an SAR, either at the time of grant or by amendment except that in the
case of an Incentive Stock Option, such SAR shall be granted only at the time of
grant of the related Option. The Committee may also award to Participants SARs
independent of any Option. An SAR shall be subject to such terms and
9
<PAGE>
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall impose,
including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) Vesting. An SAR granted in connection with an Option shall
become exercisable, be transferable and shall lapse according to the same
vesting schedule, transferability and lapse rules that are established by the
Committee for the Option. An SAR granted independent of an Option shall become
exercisable, be transferable and shall lapse in accordance with a vesting
schedule, transferability and lapse rules established by the Committee.
Notwithstanding the above, an SAR shall not be exercisable by a person subject
to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for at least six (6) months following the
Date of Grant.
(b) Failure to Exercise. If on the last day of the Option Period
(or in the case of an SAR independent of an Option, the SAR period established
by the Committee), the Fair Market Value of the Stock exceeds the Option Price,
the Holder has not exercised the Option or SAR, and neither the Option nor the
SAR has lapsed, such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Holder on
such last day and the Company shall make the appropriate payment therefor.
(c) Payment. The amount of additional compensation which may be
received pursuant to the award of one SAR is the excess, if any, of the Fair
Market Value of one share of Stock on the Appreciation Date over the Option
Price, in the case of an SAR granted in connection with an Option, or the Fair
Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the Date of Grant, in the case of an
SAR granted independent of an Option. The Company shall pay such excess in
cash, in shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value, or any combination
thereof, as determined by the Committee. Fractional shares shall be settled in
cash.
(d) Designation of Appreciation Date. A Participant may designate
an Appreciation Date at such time or times as may be determined by the Committee
at the time of grant by filing an irrevocable written notice with the Committee
or its designee, specifying the number of SARs to which the Appreciation Date
relates, and the date on which such SARs were awarded. Such time or times
determined by the Committee may take into account any applicable "window
periods" required by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
(e) Expiration. Except as otherwise provided in the case of SARs
granted in connection with Options, the SARs shall expire on a date designated
by the Committee which is not later than ten (10) years after the date on which
the SAR was awarded.
9. Performance Shares,
------------------
(a) Award Grants. The Committee is authorized to establish
Performance Share programs to be effective over designated Award Periods of not
less than one (1) year nor more than five (5) years. At the beginning of each
Award Period, the Committee will establish in writing Performance Goals based
upon financial or other objectives for the Company for such Award Period and a
schedule relating the accomplishment of the Performance Goals to the Awards to
be earned
10
<PAGE>
by Participants. Performance Goals may include absolute or relative growth in
earnings per share or rate of return on shareholders' equity or other
measurement of corporate performance and may be determined on an individual
basis or by categories of Participants. The Committee may adjust Performance
Goals or performance measurement standards as it deems equitable in recognition
of extraordinary or non-recurring events experienced during an Award Period by
the Company, a Subsidiary or by any other corporation whose performance is
relevant to the determination of whether Performance Goals have been attained.
The Committee shall determine the number of Performance Share Units to be
awarded, if any, to each Participant who is selected to receive an Award. The
Committee may add new Participants to a Performance Share program after its
commencement by making pro rata grants.
(b) Determination of Award. At the completion of a Performance
Share program, or at other times as specified by the Committee, the Committee
shall calculate the amount earned with respect to each Participant's award by
multiplying the Fair Market Value on the Valuation Date by the number of
Performance Share Units granted to the Participant and multiplying the amount so
determined by a performance factor representing the degree of attainment of the
Performance Goals .
(c) Partial Awards. A Participant for less than a full Award
Period, whether by reason of commencement or termination of employment or
otherwise, shall receive such portion of an Award, if any, for that Award Period
as the Committee shall determine.
(d) Payment of Non-deferred Awards. The amount earned with respect
to an Award shall be fully payable in shares of Stock based on the Fair Market
Value on the Valuation Date; provided, however, that, at its discretion, the
Committee may vary such form of payment as to any Participant upon the specific
request of such Participant. Except as provided in subparagraph 9(e), payments
of Awards shall be made as soon as practicable after the completion of an Award
Period.
(e) Deferral of Payment. A Participant may file a written election
with the Committee to defer the payment of any amount otherwise payable pursuant
to subparagraph 9(d) on account of an Award to a period commencing at such
future date as specified in the election. Such election must be filed with the
Committee no later than the last day of the month which is two-thirds of the way
through the Award Period during which the Award is earned, unless the Committee
specifies an earlier filing date.
(f) Separate Accounts. At the conclusion of each Award Period, the
Committee shall cause a separate account to be maintained in the name of each
Participant with respect to whom all or a portion of an Award of Performance
Share Units earned under the Plan has been deferred. All amounts credited to
such account shall be fully vested at all times.
(g) Election of Form of Investment. Within sixty (60) days from the
end of each Award Period, and at such time or times, if any, as the Committee
may permit, a Participant may file
11
<PAGE>
a written election with the Committee of the percentage of the deferred portion
of any Award of Performance Share Units which is to be expressed in the form of
dollars and credited with interest, the percentage of such Award which is to be
expressed in the form of Phantom Stock Units and the percentage of such Award
which is to be deemed invested in any other hypothetical investment equivalent
from time to time made available under the Plan by the Committee. In the event
a Participant fails to file an election within the time prescribed, one hundred
percent (100%) of the deferred portion of such Participant's Award shall be
expressed in the form of Phantom Stock Units.
(h) Interest Portion. The amount of interest credited with respect
to the portion of an Award credited to the Participant's account which is
deferred and credited with interest (the "Interest Portion") shall be equal to
the amount such portion would have earned had it been credited with interest
from the last day of the Award Period with respect to which the Award was made
until the seventh (7th) business day preceding the date as of which payment is
made, compounded annually, at the Company's rate of return on shareholders'
equity for each fiscal year that payment is deferred, or at such other rate as
the Committee may from time to time determine. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, credit interest on amounts payable prior to the date on which the
Company's rate of return on shareholders' equity becomes ascertainable at the
rate applicable to deferred amounts during the year immediately preceding the
year of payment.
(i) Phantom Stock Unit Portion. With respect to the portion of an
Award credited to the Participant's account which is deferred and expressed in
the form of Phantom Stock Units (the "Phantom Stock Unit Portion"), the number
of Phantom Stock Units so credited shall be equal to the result of dividing (i)
the Phantom Stock Unit Portion by (ii) the Fair Market Value on the date the
Award Period ended.
(j) Dividend Equivalents. Within thirty (30) days from the payment
of a dividend by the Company on its Stock, the Phantom Stock Unit Portion of
each Participant's account shall be credited with additional Phantom Stock Units
the number of which shall be determined by (i) multiplying the dividend per
share paid on the Company's Stock by the number of Phantom Stock Units credited
to his account at the time such dividend was declared, then (ii) dividing such
amount by the Fair Market Value on the payment date for such dividend.
(k) Payment of Deferred Awards. Payment with respect to amounts
credited to the account of a Participant shall be made in a series of annual
installments over a period of ten (10) years, or such other period as the
Committee may direct, or as the Committee may allow the Participant to elect, in
either case at the time of the original deferral election. Except as otherwise
provided by the Committee, each installment shall be withdrawn proportionately
from the Interest Portion and from the Phantom Stock Unit Portion of a
Participant's account based on the percentage of the Participant's account which
he originally elected to be credited with interest and with Phantom Stock Units,
or, if a later election has been permitted by the Committee and is then in
effect, based on the percentage specified in such later election. Payments
shall commence on the date specified by the Participant in his deferral
election, unless the Committee in its sole discretion determines that payment
shall be made over a shorter period or in more frequent installments, or
commence on an
12
<PAGE>
earlier date, or any or all of the above. If a Participant dies prior to the
date on which payment with respect to all amounts credited to his account shall
have been completed, payment with respect to such amounts shall be made to the
Participant's beneficiary in a series of annual installments over a period of
five (5) years, unless the Committee in its sole discretion determines that
payment shall be made over a shorter period or in more frequent installments, or
both. To the extent practicable, each installment payable hereunder shall
approximate that part of the amount then credited to the Participant's or
beneficiary's account which, if multiplied by the number of installments
remaining to be paid would be equal to the entire amount then credited to the
Participant's account.
(l) Composition of Payment. The Committee shall cause all payments
with respect to deferred Awards to be made in a manner such that not more than
one-half of the value of each installment shall consist of Stock. To that end,
payment with respect to the Interest Portion and the Phantom Stock Unit Portion
of a Participant's account shall be paid in cash and Stock as the Committee
shall determine in its sole discretion. The determination of any amount to be
paid in cash for Phantom Stock Units shall be made by multiplying (i) the Fair
Market Value of one share of Stock on the date as of which payment is made, by
(ii) the number of Phantom Stock Units for which payment is being made. The
determination of the number of shares of Stock, if any, to be distributed with
respect to the Interest Portion of a Participant's account shall be made by
dividing (i) one-half of the value of such portion on the date as of which
payment is made, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on such
date. Fractional shares shall be paid in cash.
(m) Alternative Investment Equivalents. If the Committee shall have
permitted Participants to elect to have deferred Awards of Performance Share
Units invested in one or more hypothetical investment equivalents other than
interest or Phantom Stock Units, such deferred Awards shall be credited with
hypothetical investment earnings at such rate, manner and time as the Committee
shall determine. At the end of the deferral period, payment shall be made in
respect of such hypothetical investment equivalents in such manner and at such
time as the Committee shall determine.
(n) Adjustment of Performance Goals. The Committee may, during the
Award Period, make such adjustments to Performance Goals as it may deem
appropriate, to compensate for, or reflect, any significant changes that may
have occurred during such Award Period in (i) applicable accounting rules or
principles or changes in the Company's method of accounting or in that of any
other corporation whose performance is relevant to the determination of whether
an Award has been earned or (ii) tax laws or other laws or regulations that
alter or affect the computation of the measures of Performance Goals used for
the calculation of Awards.
10. Restricted Stock Awards and Phantom Stock Units.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) Award of Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Units.
(i) The Committee shall have the authority (1) to grant Restricted
Stock and Phantom Stock Unit Awards, (2) to issue or transfer Restricted
13
<PAGE>
Stock to Participants, and (3) to establish terms, conditions and restrictions
applicable to such Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Units, including the
Restricted Period, which may differ with respect to each grantee, the time or
times at which Restricted Stock or Phantom Stock Units shall be granted or
become vested and the number of shares or units to be covered by each grant.
(ii) The Holder of a Restricted Stock Award shall execute and
deliver to the Secretary of the Company an agreement with respect to Restricted
Stock and escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee and the appropriate
blank stock powers with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such
agreements and shall pay to the Company, as the purchase price of the shares of
Stock subject to such Award, the aggregate par value of such shares of Stock
within sixty (60) days following the making of such Award. If a Participant
shall fail to execute the agreement, escrow agreement and stock powers or shall
fail to pay such purchase price within such period, the Award shall be null and
void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10(b), the Holder shall
generally have the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to such Restricted
Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock. At the discretion of
the Committee, cash and stock dividends with respect to the Restricted Stock may
be either currently paid or withheld by the Company for the Holder's account,
and interest may be paid on the amount of cash dividends withheld at a rate and
subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. Cash or stock dividends so
withheld by the Committee shall not be subject to forfeiture.
(iii) In the case of a Restricted Stock Award, the Committee shall
then cause stock certificates registered in the name of the Holder to be issued
and deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent to be
designated by the Committee. The Committee shall cause the escrow agent to
issue to the Holder a receipt evidencing any stock certificate held by it
registered in the name of the Holder.
(iv) In the case of a Phantom Stock Units Award, no shares of Stock
shall be issued at the time the Award is made, and the Company will not be
required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such Award. The Committee
shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to credit to the account of, or
to currently pay to, each Holder of an Award of Phantom Stock Units an amount
equal to the cash dividends paid by the Company upon one share of Stock for each
Phantom Stock Unit then credited to such Holder's account
14
<PAGE>
("Dividend Equivalents"). Dividend Equivalents credited to Holder's account
shall be subject to forfeiture and may bear interest at a rate and subject to
such terms as determined by the Committee.
(b) Restrictions.
(i) Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to
the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted Period: (1)
the Holder shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate; (2) the
shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the
grant; (3) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in
subparagraph (d) and, to the extent such shares are forfeited, the stock
certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Holder to
such shares and as a shareholder shall terminate without further obligation on
the part of the Company.
(ii) Phantom Stock Units awarded to any Participant shall be subject
to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted Period: (1)
the units shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in subparagraph
(d), and to the extent such units are forfeited, all rights of the Holder to
such units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company
and (2) any other restrictions which the Committee may determine in advance are
necessary or appropriate.
(iii) The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of
the restrictions on the Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Units whenever it may
determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or other changes in
circumstances arising after the date of the Restricted Stock Award or Phantom
Stock Award, such action is appropriate.
(c) Restricted Period. The Restricted Period of Restricted Stock and
Phantom Stock Units shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire from
time to time as to that part of the Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock Units
indicated in a schedule established by the Committee with respect to the Award.
(d) Forfeiture Provisions. In the event a Holder terminates
employment or service as a director during a Restricted Period, that portion of
the Award with respect to which restrictions have not expired ("Non-Vested
Portion") shall be treated as follows.
(i) Resignation or discharge:
15
<PAGE>
-- The Non-Vested Portion of the Award shall
be completely forfeited.
(ii) Normal Termination:
-- The Non-Vested Portion of the Award shall be prorated for service
during the Restricted Period and shall be received as soon as practicable
following termination.
(iii) Death:
-- The Non-Vested Portion of the Award shall be prorated for service
during the Restricted Period and paid to the Participant's beneficiary as soon
as practicable following death.
(e) Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Phantom Stock
Units. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares
of Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award, a stock certificate evidencing the
shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited and with respect
to which the Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share) shall be
delivered without charge to the Holder, or his beneficiary, free of all
restrictions under the Plan.
Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any
Phantom Stock Units covered by a Phantom Stock Unit Award, the Company shall
deliver to the Holder or his beneficiary without any charge one share of Stock
for each Phantom Stock Unit which has not then been forfeited and with respect
to which the Restricted Period has expired ("vested unit") and cash equal to any
Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to each such vested unit and the
interest thereon, if any; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Stock in lieu of delivering
only Stock for vested units. If cash payment is made in lieu of delivering
Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value for
the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such vested unit.
(f) Payment for Restricted Stock. Except as provided in subparagraph
10(a)(ii), a Holder shall not be required to make any payment for Stock received
pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award.
11. Director Awards.
---------------
(a) Rights to be Granted. Director Awards entitle Non-Employee
Directors to receive Non-Qualified Stock Options pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Section 11.
(b) Grant of Director Awards. Each Non-Employee Director of the
Company shall automatically receive, upon the date that such Non-Employee
Director becomes a director
16
<PAGE>
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (such date being the Date of Grant), a
Director Award of Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase 15,000 shares of
Common Stock
(c) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per share of Stock underlying
a Director Award shall be the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock at the Date of Grant, or (ii) $3.00.
(d) Vesting of Director Awards. Subject to Section 13 herein, options
granted pursuant to a Director Award ("Director Award Options") shall vest and
become exercisable over a three (3) year period at the rate of one-third (1/3)
of each Director Award commencing on the date of the Company's annual meeting of
shareholders for the election of directors next following the date such Non-
Employee Director became a director and continuing with each such successive
annual meeting provided such Non-Employee Director remains a director of the
Company as of such date. Director Award Options may be exercised up to and
including the date which is ten (10) years after the Date of Grant. Director
Award Options shall be exercisable at the Exercise Price.
(e) Option Agreement. Each Director Award shall be evidenced by an
Option Agreement, in such form as may be approved by the Board, which Agreement
shall be duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and by the
individual to whom such option is granted. The Agreement shall contain such
terms, provisions, and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be
determined by the Board.
12. General.
-------
(a) Additional Provisions of an Award. The award of any benefit under
the Plan may also be subject to such other provisions (whether or not applicable
to the benefit awarded to any other Participant) as the Committee determines
appropriate including, without limitation, provisions to assist the Participant
in financing the purchase of Common Stock through the exercise of Options,
provisions for the forfeiture of or restrictions on resale or other disposition
of shares acquired under any form of benefit, provisions giving the Company the
right to repurchase shares acquired under any form of benefit in the event the
Participant elects to dispose of such shares, and provisions to comply with
Federal and state securities laws and Federal and state income tax withholding
requirements.
(b) Privileges of Stock Ownership. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Plan, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of stock
ownership in respect of shares of stock which are subject to Options or
Restricted Stock Awards, Performance Share Unit Awards or Phantom Stock Unit
Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that person upon exercise
of an Option according to its terms or upon sale or grant of those shares in
accordance with a Restricted Stock Award, Performance Share Unit Award or
Phantom Stock Unit Award.
(c) Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company
to make payment of Awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules, and
17
<PAGE>
regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required.
The Company shall be under no obligation to register under the Securities Act
any of the shares of Stock issued under the Plan. If the shares issued under
the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the
Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such
manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.
(d) Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall have the right to deduct from
all Awards, to the extent paid in cash, all federal, state or local taxes as
required by law to be withheld with respect to such Awards and, in the case of
Awards paid in Stock, the Holder or other person receiving such Stock may be
required to pay to the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate prior to delivery
of such Stock, the amount of any such taxes which the Company or Subsidiary is
required to withhold, if any, with respect to such Stock. Subject in particular
cases to the disapproval of the Committee, the Company may accept shares of
Stock of equivalent Fair Market Value in payment of such withholding tax
obligations if the Holder of the Award elects to make payment in such manner at
least six months prior to the date such tax obligation is determined.
(e) Claim to Awards and Employment Rights. No employee or other
person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan nor,
having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of
any other Award. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be
construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ of
the Company or a Subsidiary.
(f) Conditions. Each Participant to whom Awards are granted under the
Plan shall be required to enter into an Incentive Plan Agreement in a form
authorized by the Committee, which may include provisions that the Participant
shall not disclose any confidential information of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries acquired during the course of such Participant's employment.
(g) Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Each Participant shall
file with the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the
beneficiary who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to
an Award of Performance Share Units, Phantom Share Units or Restricted Stock, if
any, due under the Plan upon his death. A Participant may, from time to time,
revoke or change his beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior
beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such
designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however,
-------- -------
that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless
received by the Committee prior to the Participant's death, and in no event
shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt.
(h) Payments to Persons Other than Participants. If the Committee
shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is
unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or
has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior
claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative), may, if
the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, child, relative, an
institution
18
<PAGE>
maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the
Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled
to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of
the Committee and the Company therefor.
(i) No Liability of Committee Members. No member of the Committee
shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument
executed by such member or on his behalf in his capacity as a member of the
Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other
employee, officer or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating
to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or
delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability
(including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or
omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person's
own fraud or bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be
-------- -------
required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such
person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any
other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the
Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, as a matter of law, or
otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them
harmless.
(j) Governing Law. The Plan will be administered in accordance with
federal laws, or in the absence thereof, the laws of the State of Florida.
(k) Funding. Except as provided under Section 10, no provision of the
Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations
under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other
entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor
shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other
evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or
administered fund for such purposes. Holders shall have no rights under the
Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that
insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation
by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees
under general law.
(l) Nontransferability. A person's rights and interest under the Plan,
including amounts payable, may not be sold, assigned, donated or transferred or
otherwise disposed of, mortgaged, pledged or encumbered except, in the event of
a Holder's death, to a designated beneficiary to the extent permitted by the
Plan, or in the absence of such designation, by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.
(m) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member
of the Board shall be fully justified in relying, acting or failing to act, and
shall not be liable for having so relied, acted or failed to act in good faith,
upon any report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its
Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection with the
Plan by any person or persons other than himself.
19
<PAGE>
(n) Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall
be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement,
profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or any
Subsidiary except as otherwise specifically provided.
(o) Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne
by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(p) Pronouns. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender
shall refer to both men and women.
(q) Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in
the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any
conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall
control.
13. Changes in Capital Structure.
----------------------------
Options, Director Awards, SARs, Restricted Stock Awards, Phantom Stock
Unit Awards, Performance Share Unit Awards, and any agreements evidencing such
Awards, and Performance Goals, shall be subject to adjustment or substitution,
as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as to the number, price
or kind of a share of Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards or as
otherwise determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event of
changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company, or
of any other corporation whose performance is relevant to the attainment of
Performance Goals hereunder, by reason of stock dividends, stock splits,
recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations,
exchanges or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the Date
of Grant of any such Award or (ii) in the event of any change in applicable laws
or any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any
substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for,
Participants in the Plan, or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment
because it interferes with the intended operation of the Plan. In addition, in
the event of any such adjustments or substitution, the aggregate number of
shares of Stock available under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by the
Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive. Any adjustment in Incentive
Stock Options under this Section 13 shall be made only to the extent not
constituting a "modification" within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the
Code, and any adjustments under this Section 13 shall be made in a manner which
does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an
adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes.
14. Effect of Change in Control.
---------------------------
(a) In the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any vesting
schedule provided for hereunder or by the Committee with respect to an Award of
Options, Director Awards, SARs, Phantom Stock Units or Restricted Stock, such
Option or SAR shall become immediately
20
<PAGE>
exercisable with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to
such Option or SAR, and the Restricted Period shall expire immediately with
respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Phantom Stock Units or shares of
Restricted Stock subject to Restrictions; provided, however, that to the extent
-------- -------
that so accelerating the time an Incentive Stock Option may first be exercised
would cause the limitation provided in Section 7(f) to be exceeded, such Options
shall instead first become exercisable in so many of the next following years as
is necessary to comply with such limitation.
(b) In the event of a Change in Control, all incomplete Award Periods
in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs shall end on the date of such
change, and the Committee shall, (i) determine the extent to which Performance
Goals with respect to each such Award Period have been met based upon such
audited or unaudited financial information then available as it deems relevant,
(ii) cause to be paid to each Participant partial or full Awards with respect to
Performance Goals for each such Award Period based upon the Committee's
determination of the degree of attainment of Performance Goals, and (iii) cause
all previously deferred Awards to be settled in full as soon as possible.
(c) The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding
upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor
corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and
business of the Company. The Company agrees that it will make appropriate
provisions for the preservation of Participant's rights under the Plan in any
agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger,
consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.
15. Nonexclusivity of the Plan.
--------------------------
Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of
this Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as
creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements
may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.
21
<PAGE>
16. Amendments and Termination.
--------------------------
The Board may at any time terminate the Plan. With the express
written consent of an individual Participant, the Board may cancel or reduce or
otherwise alter the outstanding Awards thereunder if, in its judgment, the tax,
accounting, or other effects of the Plan or potential payouts thereunder would
not be in the best interest of the Company. The Board may, at any time, or from
time to time, amend or suspend and, if suspended, reinstate, the Plan in whole
or in part; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of this Plan shall not be
-------- -------
amended more than once every six (6) months, other than to comport with changes
in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or the rules
thereunder; and (ii) without further shareholder approval the Board shall not:
(a) Increase the maximum number of shares of Stock which may be issued

EXHIBIT A
EDS BUSINESS PRACTICES
-----------------------
EDS' suppliers have played a key role in our continuous growth and success.
We sincerely appreciate your support. In order to avoid any conflict of interest
between our suppliers and EDS employees and to keep business relationships on a
professional basis, EDS has established and briefed its employees on the
following business practices. Please review these business practices carefully
and give a copy of this Exhibit to any of your associates who have a need to
know.
1. EDS expects its suppliers to provide a quality product or service for which
they will be fairly paid.
2. In selecting suppliers, EDS will test the market to assure quality of
service and fairness of price.
3. No EDS employee is to ask for anything of value from supplier. Gifts from a
supplier such as tickets to athletic events, concerts or the theater,
personal travel, or any type of personal item are discouraged by our
business practices.
4. If any EDS employee is offered or accepts an item of value from a supplier,
the employee is to report it to the appropriate EDS management.
5. If any EDS employee engages in any type of unethical behavior such as
requesting anything of value from a supplier, the supplier is requested to
report the incident to the Director of Purchasing or the General Counsel of
EDS.
6. Occasional meals during visits to the supplier's facilities or a customer's
location during which a supplier incurs normal and reasonable marketing
expenses are acceptable. The EDS employee is required to report such meal
expenses to their management.
EDS appreciates your cooperation in complying with these business
practices.

limitation, such causes may include acts of God or public enemies, war,
labor disputes, supplieror material shortages, embargoes, rationing, fuel
shortages, acts of local, state or national governments or public agencies

The D/BE may incorporate Authority Standard Specifications Sections,
without alteration, into the D/BE's General System Design
Specifications. However, the D/BE assumes the risk thereby that such
Sections may not apply, in whole or in part, to the Work, and may thus
be rejected by the Authority during the review process. The D/BE may
alter the Authority Standard Specifications Sections by adding to the
information contained in such Sections. All such additions shall be
indicated using bold face type in the specifications sections the D/BE
submits to the Authority as the D/BE's General System Design
Specifications. The D/BE shall not eliminate any information from any
Authority Standard Specifications Sections the D/BE elects to use, in
whole or in part, without the prior permission of the Engineer.
The D/BE may elect to reflect all the Authority Standard

sections for the D/BE's General System Design Specifications for any
discipline involved in the Work, providing such new sections conform
to the requirements of the CSI three-part format and are approved by
the Authority. If Authority Standard Specifications Sections are
specifically cited in the Contract Documents, they shall be used
without any changes thereto, unless such changes have been approved by
the Engineer.
3. Addenda
An Addendum (plural form "Addenda") is a written directive to alter
the scope or content of the Work outlined in the Preliminary Design
Criteria issued to the D/BE by the Director prior to the date and time
for the Authority's receipt of Proposals, noted in the Section of Book
I - Information for Design/Build Entities - entitles "Form and
Submission of Proposals". Addenda shall be numbered consecutively by
the Authority and dated as of the date they are issued to the D/BE.
The D/BE shall sign each Addendum, submit all such signed addenda to
the Authority with the D/BE's Proposal and incorporate the
instructions or information contained in all such addenda into the
D/BE's General System Design Documents.
4. Submittal Schedule
The D/BE shall submit to the Engineer a proposed Submittal Schedule
itemizing all the submittals which would be required to comply with
the requirements of the categories outlined in Schedule XIV of
Attachment B in Book I - Information For Design/Build Entities - and,
in accordance with the Contract Documents, within seven (7) calendar
days after the D/BE's receipt of the Authority's acceptance of the
D/BE's Proposal. The Authority makes no representations whatsoever
that proposed deviations from such Schedule XIV will be approved.
- 11 -
<PAGE>
Wherever in the Authority Standard Specifications Sections, shop
drawings, catalog cuts or other items are required to be submitted to
the "Engineer" for approval, such requirement shall be deemed to mean
that such submittals shall first be submitted to the D/BE's Engineer
of Record, for such Engineer of Record's formal written approval-
indicated by such Engineer of Record's signature on such submittals,
along with a printed or stamped "approved" notation and a notation of
the date of such approval on such submittals-and shall then be
submitted to the Engineer for approval. The Engineer may approve,
provide comments requiring resubmission, or reject, each such
submittal written twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date such
submittal is received by the Authority. The D/BE shall submit two
copies (or more, if requested by the Engineer) of each such submittal,
after it has been approved as noted above by the Engineer of Record,
to the Engineer for approval.
Wherever the phrases "as approved by the Engineer" or "as directed by
the Engineer" or similar phrases are used in Authority Standard
Specifications Sections, such phrases shall mean that the approval or
direction of the D/BE's Engineer of Record must be given first, in a
manner similar to that noted above, and then such approval or
direction must be confirmed by the Engineer, in a manner similar to
that noted above.
The Engineer may approve or disapprove all or any portion of such
submittals within the time noted above. If the Engineer fails to give
any such approval or disapproval within the times specified herein,
and if solely as a result thereof the D/BE is thereby necessarily so
delayed in the performance of any part of the Work that he cannot
complete the performance of said part within the time specified for
said completion in the Clause hereof entitled "Time For Completion And
Damages For Delay", then the time for completion of said part may be
extended as provided in the Clause hereof Entitled "Extensions Of
Time". The approval by the Engineer may be either unconditional or be
subject to specific enumerated conditions set out as part of a written
approval. The disapproval by the Engineer will identify why the
submittal is defective or fails to achieve the results intended by the
Preliminary Design Criteria, however the Engineer shall have no
obligation to provide a solution for the noted defects.
5. Miscellaneous Documents
Any other documents which the Director or the Engineer has
incorporated into the General System Design Documents by either clear
intent, reference or written directive.
N. Detailed System Design Documents
The D/BE shall submit to the Engineer Detailed System Design Documents as
stipulated herein, and obtain the Engineer's approval thereof before
ordering any materials or fabricating any components for the Work, unless
directed otherwise by the Engineer, in writing. The Engineer's approval may
be given if at all, within the time stipulated for such approval in the
Clause hereof entitled "Time For Completion And Damages For Delay".

0. Contract Change Requests, Change Orders And Extra Work
1. Contract Change Request
The Contract Change Request Form is used to initiate changes to the
Contract by the D/BE or the Authority. The D/BE will submit to the
Authority or the Authority will submit to the D/BE as the case may be,
the Contract Change Request, which will be used as a basis for
negotiating Change Orders. When the Contract Change Request has been
approved by the Engineer, the appropriate Change Order will be issued
to the D/BE. A copy of Port Authority Document (PA2873) - Contract
Change Request Form - is attached as Schedule E.
2. Change Order and Extra Work
A Change Order is a written directive to alter the scope or content of
the Work as delineated in the General System Design Documents and
Detailed System Design Documents in their final form as approved by
the Authority, issued by the Engineer to the D/BE. "Extra Work" is new
Work - Work which was never expressed or implied in the Preliminary
Design Criteria, General System Design Documents or Detailed System
Design Documents - in addition to the Work as delineated in the
Detailed System Design Documents in their final form as approved by
the Authority. An order for Extra Work is issued by the Director to
the D/BE by Change Order at any time after the Authority accepts the
Proposal. Change Orders shall be numbered consecutively by the
Authority and dated as of the date they are issued to the D/BE. The
D/BE shall sign each Change Order, submit all such signed Change
Orders to the Authority, and incorporate all the instructions or
information contained in such Change Orders into the Contract
Documents and incorporate the reluctant changes in such Documents. A
copy of Port Authority Document (PA39) - Change Order Form-is attached
as Schedule F.
No Extra Work shall be performed except pursuant to written orders of
the Director expressly and unmistakably indicating his intention to
treat the Work described therein as Extra Work; and, exclusive of
Extra Work expressly authorized by or pursuant to a resolution of the
Commissioners of the Authority or its Committee on Construction, the
Engineer shall have authority to order any item of Extra Work, if the
cost thereof to the Authority together with the cost of all other
Extra
- 16 -
<PAGE>
Work previously ordered and not expressly authorized as aforesaid will not be in
the aggregate in excess of the sum specified in the letter of acceptance of the
D/BE's Proposal as the limit on such authority to order Extra Work; provided,
however, that Extra Work in excess of such aggregate amount may be ordered as
above provided to the extent expressly authorized in a writing signed by the
Executive Director of the Authority, delegating authority vested in him pursuant
to the By-Laws or a resolution of the Commissioners of the Authority or its
Committee on Construction.
In the absence of such a Change Order signed by the Director, if the Engineer
shall direct, order or require any Work, whether orally or in writing, which the
D/BE deems to be Extra Work, the D/BE shall nevertheless comply therewith, but
shall within twenty-four hours give written notice thereof to the Director and
the Engineer stating why the D/BE deems it to be Extra Work, and shall moreover
furnish to the Engineer time slips and memoranda as required by the Clause
hereof entitled "Compensation For Extra Work". Said notice, time slips and
memoranda are for the purpose of affording to the Engineer an opportunity to
verify the D/BE's claim at the time and (if he desires so to do) to cancel
promptly such order, direction or requirement of the Engineer, of affording to
the Engineer an opportunity of keeping an accurate record of the materials,
labour and other items involved, and generally of affording to the Authority an
opportunity to take such action as it may deem desirable in light of the claims.
Accordingly, the failure of the D/BE to serve such notice or to furnish such
time slips and memoranda shall be deemed to be a conclusive and binding
determination on his part that the direction, order or requirement of the
Engineer does not involve the performance of Extra Work, and shall be deemed to
be a waiver by the D/BE of all claims for additional compensation or damages by
reason thereof, such written notice, time slips and memoranda being a condition
precedent to such claims.
The provisions of this form of Contract relating generally to Work and its
performance shall apply without exception to any Extra Work required and to the
performance thereof. Moreover, the provisions of the Preliminary Design Criteria
relating generally to the Work and its performance thereof, except to the extent
that a written order in connection with any particular item of Extra Work may
expressly provide otherwise.
For further information about compensation for Extra Work, see the Clause hereof
entitled "Compensation For Extra Work".

duties and obligations under this Contract and the whole thereof, a compensation
of
Two Million, Fifty Thousand, Six Hundred Ten Dollars
- ------------------------------------------------------------
and No Cents($2,050,610.00)
------------------------------------------ -------------
(throughout this Contract called the "Lump Sum"), and such compensation only,
subject only to the express provisions of this Contract specifically setting
forth actual, defined additions to or deductions from such compensation.
The enumeration in this Form of Contract and in the Specifications of
particular things to be furnished or done at the D/BE's expense, or without cost
or expense to the Authority, or without additional compensation to the D/BE
shall not be deemed to imply that only things of a nature similar to those

as required, without other compensation than that specifically provided,
whatsoever changes may be made in the Preliminary Design Criteria, whatsoever
Work may be required in addition to that required by the Preliminary Design
Criteria in their present form, and whatsoever obstacles or unforeseen
conditions may arise or be encountered.
This Contract is one entire contract for the accomplishment of the results
and the doing of the things above specified and is not separable. Similarly, the
D/BE's compensation is one entire compensation for entire performance on his
part.
4. AUTHORITY ACCESS TO RECORDS
The Authority shall have access during normal business hours to all records
and documents of the D/BE relating to any amounts for which the D/BE has been
compensated, or claims he should be compensated, by the Authority by payment
determined on any basis other than by payment of a lump sum or unit price amount
agreed upon in writing by the D/BE and the Authority. The D/BE shall obtain for
the Authority similar access to similar records and documents of subcontractors.
Such access shall be given or obtained both before and within a period of one
year after Final Payment to the D/BE provided, however, that if within the
aforesaid one year period the Authority has notified the D/BE in writing of a
pending claim by the Authority under or in connection with this Contract to
which any of the aforesaid records and documents of the D/BE or of his
subcontractors relate either directly or indirectly, then the period of such
right of access shall be extended to the expiration of six years from the date
of Final Payment with respect to the records and documents involved.
No provision in this Contract giving the Authority a right of access to
records and documents is intended to impair or affect any right of access to
records and documents which the Authority would have in the absence of such
provision.

<PAGE>
5. ADVERTISEMENT
The D/BE shall not issue or permit to be issued any release, advertisement,
or literature of any kind which refers to the Authority or the services
performed in connection with this Contract without prior written approval of the
Engineer. Such approval may be withheld if for any reason the Director believes
that the publication of such information would be harmful to the public
interest or is in any way undesirable.
6. AGENCY FOR RENTAL OF CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
The D/BE further agrees to act as the agent of the Authority, subject to
the provisions of this numbered clause relating to such agency, for the rental
of all construction equipment necessary or desirable for or incidental to the
performance of the Contract (other than construction equipment owned and also
used by the D/BE or owned and also used by any subcontractor) and, in the
exercise of such agency, to assume all the obligations and duties imposed upon
him by this Contract. The D/BE may authorize any subcontractor to act as his
subagent for rental of such equipment for use by such subcontractor, subject to
all provisions of this Contract. "Construction equipment" as used in this
numbered clause shall include plant.
The Authority will pay the rental charges for said equipment directly to
the lessors thereof, but the charges so paid shall be deducted from the
compensation payable to the D/BE under the Contract; provided, however, that the
Authority will pay such charges, and the D/BE is authorized by the Authority to
act as such agent, to the extent only that the charges payable for such rental
do not exceed the compensation payable to the D/BE under the Contract; and
provided further that the D/BE performs all the obligations relating to said
agency imposed upon him by this Contract.
The Authority will provide the D/BE with a statement to be furnished by him
and the subcontractors to such lessors which will identify this Contract as the
one under which the D/BE is authorized to rent said equipment and which will
identify the site to which delivery must be made. The D/BE shall arrange for
delivery of said equipment directly to the construction site. Payment of the
rental charges therefor shall be made by the Authority on the basis of invoices
made out to the Authority in which is contained the place of delivery and on
which the D/BE has certified by endorsement that such construction equipment is
being or has been used in the performance of the Contract, said invoices to be
submitted through the D/BE to the Authority at the time said equipment is put
into use at the construction site. In the event said notices are not submitted
promptly, at the time stated above, but are submitted at a time when, by reason
of prior advances and payment to the D/BE or for his account, the amounts still
payable to the D/BE in connection with the Contract are insufficient to pay said
invoices, then the Authority shall not be liable to the lessors for any amounts
in excess of said amounts still payable to the D/BE which remain in the
possession of the Authority.
- 20 -
<PAGE>
Nothwithstanding the above Agency arrangement, the Authority shall not be
liable to lessors of construction equipment for any amounts except rental
charges based on time of use of such equipment, and the agency is limited
accordingly. All obligations incurred by the D/BE or subcontractors for any
other expenses, including repairs and damages for breach of the rental
agreement, shall be obligations incurred by the D/BE or subcontractors as
principal not as agent of the Authority. Moreover, as between the Authority and
the D/BE, the D/BE shall be responsible for all amounts due to lessors of
construction equipment notwithstanding the above agency agreement.
The D/BE shall indemnify the Authority against any claim of any kind
whatsoever made against the Authority by a lessor of construction equipment and
the D/BE assumes the risk of all claims against him by any lessor of
construction equipment, including in both cases, claims in connection with a
subcontractor.
The agency provide for under this numbered clause shall not relieve the
D/BE of any of his duties and obligations elsewhere provided for under this
Contract.
2. Option Not To Act As Agent
--------------------------
Notwithstanding the provisions of (1) above, the D/BE shall have the right
to elect not to act as the agent of the Authority for the rental of any
particular item or items of said construction equipment, in which event, with
regard to any such rentals by the D/BE as principal and not agent, the
provisions of (1) of this numbered clause shall be inapplicable as well as those
provisions of the Clause hereof entitled "Exemption From New York State And New
York City Sales Taxes", which relate to rental of construction equipment.
7. EXEMPTION FROM NEW YORK STATE AND NEW YORK CITY SALES TAXES
A. Materials Incorporated In Permanent Construction
------------------------------------------------
The attention of the D/BE is directed to the following provision of the New
York State and New York City Sales and Compensating Use Tax Act:
"#1115. Exemptions from sales and use taxes. (a) Receipts from the
following shall be exempt from the tax on retail sales imposed under
subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred five and the compensating use tax
imposed under section eleven hundred ten:
(15) Tangible personal property sold to a Contractor, subcontractor or
repairman for use in erecting a structure or building of an organization
described in subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred sixteen, or adding
to, altering or improving real property, property or land of such an
organization, as the terms real property, property or land are defined in
the real property tax law; provided, however, no exemption shall exist
under this paragraph unless such tangible personal property is to become an
integral component part of such structure, building or real property."
The Authority is an exempt organization of the type described in
subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred sixteen.
- 21 -
<PAGE>
In view of the foregoing, the D/BE should not include in his price any
amounts for New York State and New York City Sales and compensating use taxes on
such tangible personal property.
If (i) any claim is made against the D/BE by the State of New York or City
of New York for such sales or compensating use taxes, or (ii) any claim is made
against the D/BE by a materialman or a subcontractor on account of a claim
against such materialman or subcontractor by the State of New York or City of
New York for such sales of compensating use taxes, then the Authority will
reimburse the D/BE in an amount equal to the amount of such tax required to be
paid in accordance with the requirements of the law, provided that:
-------------
(a) The D/BE or the D/BE and any such subcontractor, as the case may be,
have complied with such rules and regulations as may have been promulgated
relating to the claiming of the exemption from such taxes and have filed
all the forms and certificates required by the applicable laws, rules and
regulations in connection therewith; and
(b) The Authority is afforded the opportunity before any payment of tax is
made, to contest said claim in the manner and to the extent that the
Authority may choose and to settle or satisfy said claim and such attorney
as the Authority may designate is authorized to act for the purpose of
contesting, settling and satisfying said claim; and
(c) The D/BE or the D/BE and any such subcontractor, as the case may be,
give immediate notice to the Authority of any such claim, cooperate with
the Authority and its designated attorney in contesting said claim and
furnish promptly to the Authority and said attorney all information and
documents necessary or convenient for contesting said claim, said
information and documents to be preserved for six years after the date of
Final Payment or longer if such claim is pending or threatened at the end
of such six years.
If the Authority elects to contest any such claim, it will bear the
expense of such contest.
B. Rental Of Construction Equipment
--------------------------------
The rental by the D/BE or subcontractor of construction equipment not owned
by the D/BE or subcontractors for use in the performance of the Contract will
also not be subject to New York State or New York City sales or compensating use
taxes, provided that:
-------------
(1) the D/BE and any subcontractor's use of construction equipment rented
from others, and any agreement for such rental, is based upon the
agency arrangement provided for in the clause hereof entitled "Agency
For Rental Of Construction Equipment" and the D/BE and subcontractors
have performed all their obligations under said Clause;
(2) delivery of said equipment is to the construction site;
- 22 -
<PAGE>
(3) the D/BE or subcontractor has furnished to the lessor the statement
from the Authority identifying this Contract as the one under which
the D/BE or subcontractor has been authorized to rent said equipment
and identifying the construction site to which delivery must be made;
(4) the invoice for said equipment is made out to the Authority and
prescribes the place of delivery; and
(5) the amounts payable for rental of said equipment do not exceed the
amount of compensation payable in connection with the Work.
In view of the above, the D/BE should not include in his price any amounts
for New York State and New York City sales and compensating use taxes on such
rental of equipment.
If (i) any claim is made against the D/BE by the State or City of New York
for sales or compensating use taxes on such rental of construction equipment or
(ii) any claim is made against the D/BE by a materialman, lessor or a
subcontractor on account of a claim against such materialman, lessor or
subcontractor by the State or City of New York for sales or compensating use
taxes on rental of said equipment, then the Authority will reimburse the D/BE in
an amount equal to the amount of such tax required to be paid in accordance with
the requirements of law, provided that the provisions listed above in this
-------- ----
numbered Clause as (a) through (c) and (1) through (5) are complied with.
If the Authority elects to contest any such claim, it will bear the expense
of such contest.
8. PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BOND OR OTHER SECURITY
If the Authority shall in its sole discretion so elect at the time of
accepting the D/BE's Proposal, the D/BE shall furnish a bond for the faithful
performance of all obligations imposed upon him by the Contract and also for
the payment of all lawful claims of subcontractors, materialmen and workmen
arising out of the performance of the Contract. Such bond shall be in the form
bound herewith entitled "Performance And Payment Bond", shall be in a penal sum
equal to the Lump Sum and such bond shall be signed by one or more sureties*
satisfactory to the Authority.
The bond may be executed on a separate copy of such form not physically
attached to this Contract booklet. In any case, both the form of bond herewith
and any unattached executed copy thereof shall form a part of this Form of
Contract as though herein set forth in full.
* Sureties must be corporations (commonly known as "surety companies"),
authorized to do business as sureties in the state(s) in which the
construction site is located, whose names appear on the current list of the
Treasury Department of the United States in effect at the time of
submission of the Performance and Payment Bond to the Authority as
acceptable as sureties to the Treasury Department. In addition, the
aggregate underwriting limitations on any one risk as set forth in the
aforementioned list of the Treasury Deparment of the sureties shall equal
or exceed the penal sum of the Performance and Payment Bond.
- 23 -
<PAGE>
At any time after the opening of Proposals, the Authority may give notice
to the D/BE to advise the Authority as to the names of its proposed sureties.
Within forty-eight hours thereafter the D/BE shall so advise the Authority. The
giving of such notice to a D/BE shall not be construed as an acceptance of the
Proposal, and omission to give such notice shall not be construed as an election
by the Authority not to require a bond.
If the Authority elects to require the D/BE to furnish a bond, he shall
deliver such bond to the Authority within seven days, after receipt by him of
the acceptance of the Proposal, and the sureties or the bond shall be as
proposed by the D/BE provided, that if the Authority has theretofore given
notice to the D/BE that the proposed sureties or any of them are not
satisfactory, the bond shall be executed by other sureties satisfactory to the
Authority.
The Authority shall give notice to the D/BE within ten (10) calendar days
after receipt of the Performance and Payment Bond as to whether or not such bond
is satisfactory.
In the event of a default by the D/BE in his obligation to furnish a
satisfactory bond or other security within seven (7) calendar days after he
receives an acceptance of his Proposal, such default shall entitle the Authority
in its discretion to terminate this Contract at any time within forty-five (45)
calendar days after the acceptance of the Proposal, without any liability on the
part of the Authority. Inasmuch as the damages to the Authority resulting from a
termination by it upon the failure of the D/BE to furnish a satisfactory bond
will include items whose accurate amount will be difficult or impossible to
compute, such damages shall be liquidated in the sum of the following amounts;
(a) The excess, if any, of the Lump Sum in the Proposal finally accepted
over that in the Proposal of the defaulting D/BE; and
(b) The expense of such new advertisement of the Contract, if any, as may
be deemed necessary by the Authority; and
(c) The sum of $500 for each day after the receipt by the D/BE of the
acceptance of the Proposal that the performance of the Contract is not
commenced by reason of the failure of the D/BE to furnish the required
bond.
In the recovery of the damages above specified, the Authority may take such
other action as it may deem best in the public interest.
If the D/BE furnishes a bond in accordance with the requirements of the
Authority under this numbered Clause, the Authority shall reimburse the D/BE for
the net amount actually paid by the D/BE to the surety or sureties as the
premium on such bond. The D/BE shall deliver to the Engineer receipts from
surety or sureties evidencing such payment and the amount thereof. Within
fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of such evidence satisfactory to the
Engineer, the Authority shall pay to the D/BE by check the amount provided in
this numbered Clause.
- 24 -
<PAGE>
If at any time the Authority shall be or become dissatisfied with any
surety or sureties then upon any bond furnished in accordance with the
requirements of the Authority, or if for any other reason such bond shall
cease to be adequate security to the Authority, the D/BE shall, within five
(5) business days after notice from the Authority so to do, substitute a
new bond in such form and sum and signed by such other sureties as may be
necessary in the opinion of the Authority to constitute adequate security.

CHAPTER II
ADJUSTMENTS AND PAYMENTS
9. ADJUSTMENTS OF LUMP SUM
If any Unclassified work required by the Contract Documents in their
present form shall be countermanded or reduced, the Engineer shall have full
authority on behalf of both parties to make such adjustment by way of reduction
in the Lump Sum as he may in his sole discretion deem equitable and reasonable,
and in making such adjustment, no allowance to the D/BE shall be made for
anticipated profits.
The Director shall have authority to agree in writing with the D/BE for
adjustments by way of reduction the Lump Sum in lieu of those for which
provision is heretobefore made in this numbered Clause.
10. COMPENSATION FOR EXTRA WORK
The Director shall have authority to agree in writing with the D/BE on
behalf of the Authority upon Lump Sum or other compensation for Extra Work in
lieu of the compensation for which provision is hereinafter made in this
numbered Clause.
If such agreement on compensation is not made and Extra Work is to be
performed, the D/BE's compensation shall be increased by the following amounts
and such amounts only:
(1) For Extra Work consisting of design or technical services, an amount
equal to the salaries paid to technical employees for time
actually spent in performing such services, plus 100 percent of the
portion of such salaries representing "straight time" payments. No
design services shall be performed as Extra Work on other than a
"straight time" basis without the written approval of the Engineer.
(2) For Extra Work consisting of performance of construction at the
construction site, an amount determined as follows:
(a) In the case of Extra Work performed by the D/BE personally, an
amount equal to the actual net cost in money of the labor and
materials required for such Extra Work, plus twenty (20) percent
do such net cost, plus such rental for equipment (other than
small tools) required for such Extra Work as the Engineer deems
reasonable.
(b) In the case of Extra Work performed by subcontractor, an amount
equal to the actual net cost in money of the labor and materials
required for such Extra Work, plus twenty (20) percent of such
net cost plus such rental for equipment (other than small tools)
required for such Extra Work as the Engineer deems reasonable,
plus seven (7) percent of the sum of the foregoing cost,
percentage of cost, and rental.
- 26 -
<PAGE>
As used in this numbered Clause (and in this Clause only):
"Design Services" means the preparation of any additional Software, any
additional General System Design Documents, General System Design Drawings,
General System Design Specifications, Detailed System Design Documents, Detailed
System Design Drawing, Detailed System Design Specifications and any additional
working or shop drawings required for such Extra Work.
"Salaries paid to technical employees" means salaries actually paid
(excluding payments and factors for holidays, vacations, sick time, bonuses,
profit participations and other similar payments) to architects, engineers,
designers, draftsmen and other technical employees of the D/BE or of any
subcontractor performing such design services, excluding however, any partners,
corporate officers and clerical or administrative personnel.
"Labor" means foremen, surveyors, laborers, mechanics and other employees
below the rank of superintendent, exclusive of timekeepers, directly employed at
the construction site whether employed by the D/BE or by the subcontractors,
subject to the Engineer's authority to determine what employees of any category
are "required for Extra Work" and as to the portion of their time allotted to
Extra Work; and "cost of labor" means the wages actually paid to and received by
such employees plus a proper proportion of (a) vacation allowance and union dues
and assessments which the employer actually pays pursuant to contractual
obligations upon the basis of such wages, and (b) taxes actually paid by the
employer pursuant to law upon the basis of such wages. "Employees" as used above
means only the employees of one employer.
"Materials" means temporary and consumable materials as well as permanent
materials: and "cost of materials" means the price (including taxes actually
paid by the D/BE pursuant to law upon the basis of such materials) for which
such materials are sold for cash by the manufacturers or producers thereof, or
by regular dealers therein, whether or not such materials are purchased directly
from the manufacturer, producer or dealer (or if the D/BE is the manufacturer to
producer thereof, the reasonable cost to the D/BE of the manufacture and
production), plus the reasonable cost of delivering such materials to the
construction site in the event that the price paid to the manufacturer, producer
or dealer does not include delivery and in case of temporary materials, less
their salvage value, if any.
"Work day" in reference to an item of equipment means a day other than a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday except that if the particular item of
equipment is actually utilized at the construction site by the D/BE or
subcontractors under this or any other Contract with the Authority on a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday said day shall be deemed a work day.
The rental for equipment, whether owned by the D/BE or subcontractors or
rented from others and notwithstanding the actual price of any rental or actual
costs associated with such equipment, shall be computed by the Engineer on the
basis of the following:
-27-
<PAGE>
(1) (a) Hourly rental for those items of equipment listed in the "Rental
Rate Blue Book" (published by Dataquest, a company of The Dun and
Bradstreet Corporation, 1290 Ridder Park Drive, San Jose, California
95131-2398), (hereinafter called "The Blue Book") shall be 100% of
the applicable rates as listed in said book,reduced to an hourly
basis (see formula below). The edition of this publication to be
used shall be the one in effect on the date of the actual rental of
the equipment. The "Estimated Operating Cost per Hour " as set
forth for such item of equipment in the Blue Book shall be added
to the hourly rental for each hour that such equipment is actually
engaged in performing Extra Work. No amount for operating cost will
be allowed during periods when such equipment is not actually
engaged in performing Extra Work (i.e. standby rental time). None of
the provisions of the Blue Book shall be deemed referred to or
included in this Contract except as specifically set forth in this
Section.
(b) If no listing of rental rate and/or hourly operating cost for
the item of equipment is in the Blue Book, the Engineer shall
determine the reasonable rate of rental and/or hourly operating cost
of the particular item of equipment by such other means as he finds
appropriate.
(2) When utilizing the rental rates appearing in the Blue Book, the
Engineer shall determine the applicable rate and the hourly rental
determined therefrom by applying the following criteria:
(a) The rate to be applied for an item of equipment used on a particular
Extra Work order shall be the daily, weekly or monthly rates from
the foregoing publication based on the total number of work days or
portions thereof that a particular item of equipment or substitute
item of equipment is at the construction site for use by the D/BE or
subconstractors whether under this Contract or any other contract
with the Authority. Included within this period will be (i) work
days of idleness of the equipment at the contruction site whether
such idleness results from acts or omissions of the D/BE. Authority
or third persons, breakdowns in the equipment or any other cause,
(ii) work days on which the equipment is removed from the
construction site solely to enable the performance of repairs
theron, and (iii) work days intervening between the removal of
equipment from the construction site for repairs and the delivery to
the construction site of the same or substitute equipment. The
number of work days in the period for each rate shall be an
indicated below:
Three work days or less - dialy rate
More than three work days but
not more than fifteen work days - weekly rate
More than fifteen work days - monthly rate
The pro rata portion which one hour bears to the applicable rate shall be
determined in accordance with the following formula:
-28-
<PAGE>
Hourly rate based on 1/8 of daily rental
daily rental from Blue Book
Hourly rate based on 1/40 of weekly rental
weekly rental from Blue Book
Hourly rate based on 1/176 of monthly rental
monthly rental from Blue Book
(b) The rental rate shall be multiplied by the applicable regional
adjustment factor shown for such item of equipment in the Blue Book.
The adjustment factor shall not apply to the hourly operating cost.
(c) If the engineer should determine that the nature or size of the
equipment used by the D/BE in connection with Extra Work is larger
or more elaborate, as the case may be, than the size or nature of
the minimum equipment determined by the Engineer to be suitable for
the Extra Work, the reasonable rental will not be based upon the
equipment used by the D/BE but will be based on the smallest or
least elaborate equipment determined by the Engineer to have been
suitable for the performance of the Extra Work.
(3) In the case of equipment utilized only for Extra Work: (a) in
addition to amounts determined as provided in subparagraphs (1) and
(2) above, there will be added to the rental as computed above the
reasonable cost of transporting such equipment to and from the
construction site, and (b) notwithstanding the number of hours
during which such equipment is utilized, the minimum rental therefor
will be for a period of eight hours.
In computing the compensation insofar as it based upon Extra Work, and
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary appearing in the Blue Book, no
consideration shall be given to any items of cost or expense not expressly set
forth above, it being expressly agreed that the costs and percentage additions
hereinbefore provided cover items of cost and expense to the D/BE of type
whatsoever, including administration, overhead, taxes (other than those
enumerated above), cleanup, consumable including gas and oil, drafting
(including printing or other reproduction), coordination, field measurements,
maintenance, repairs, insurance, profit to the D/BE and small tools.
Whenever any Extra Work is performed (whether by the D/BE directly or
through a subcontractor), the D/BE shall, at the end of each day, submit to the
Engineer (a) daily time slips showing the name and number of each workman
employed on such Work, the number of hours which he is employed thereon, the
character of his duties, and the wages to be paid to him, (b) a memorandum
showing the state and federal taxes based on such wages, and vacation allowances
and union dues and assessments which the employer actually pays pursuant to
contractual obligation upon basis of such wages (c) a memorandum showing the
amount and character of the materials furnished for such Work, from whom they
were purchased and the amount to be paid therefor, and (d) a memorandum of
equipment used in the performance of such Work, together with the rental claimed
- 29 -
<PAGE>
therefor. Such memoranda and time slips are for the purpose of enabling the
Engineer to determine the amounts to be paid by the Authority under this
numbered Clause; and accordingly, they shall constitute a condition precedent to
such payment and the failure of the D/BE to furnish them with respect to any
Work shall constitute a conclusive and binding determination on his part that
such Work is not Extra Work and shall constitute a waiver by the D/BE of claims
for payment for such Work. In the event that the Director and the D/BE shall
agree in writing upon a lump sum or other compensation for Extra Work in lieu of
compensation as provided in the second paragraph of this Clause, the daily time
slips and memoranda required by this paragraph shall not be required subsequent
to the date on which such agreement has been reached.
The D/BE shall insert the unit prices for Extra Work noted below, in words
and figures, on the appropriate lines. Regardless of any preceding statement to
the contrary, the following unit prices for Extra Work shall be in the unit
prices which the D/BE shall charge the Authority, if the Authority orders any
quantity of any item listed below as Extra Work. The quantity for payment
described in the following provisions shall include the Work as furnished,
installed, performed, and/or placed as indicated in the Contract Documents or
where directed by the Engineer.
I. In the case of Item No. I Dual Directional Detector Pairs, the unit price
for payment shall be the unit price for each Dual Directional Detector Pair
required, including all design, equipment installation and software
development and installation to monitor signals and make decisions
(including initiating alarms based on the signals received from the
detectors). The purpose of these Dual Directional Detector Pairs is to
distinguish between normal vehicular circulation and unauthorized parking
or abandonment of vehicles on critical roadway segments. These Dual
Directional Detector Pairs may be installed in series, with varying total
numbers of Dual Directional Detector Pairs. Conduit and wiring from the
Dual Directional Detector Pair to the nearest local controller are to be
provided under Item No. III.

11. COMPENSATION FOR EMERGENCY DELAYS
If the D/BE is specifically directed by the Engineer to suspend his
operations as stipulated in the Section of the Preliminary Design Specifications
entitled "Conditions And Precautions" or if the D/BE is specifically directed
not to start his operations at a time when operations are permitted to start as
stipulated in such Section, and if solely because of such suspension or
direction not to start any of the D/BE's or subcontractor's employees or
equipment then engaged in or about to start such Work are necessarily kept idle
at the construction site, during the hours when they would otherwise be engaged
in the performance of the Work, then the D/BE's compensation shall be increased
by an amount equal to the salaries and wages in amounts approved by the Engineer
which the employer is required to pay and actually pays to such employees for
the period or periods of such idleness, plus a proper proportion of (a) taxes
actually paid by the employer pursuant to law upon the basis of such salaries
and wages, and (b) vacation allowances and union dues and assessments which the
employer actually pays pursuant to contractual obligations upon the basis of
such salaries and wages, and in addition thereto such rental as the Engineer
deems reasonable for such equipment during the period or periods of such
idleness. The rental for idle equipment shall be computed by the Engineer in
accordance with the provisions of the Clause hereof entitled "Idle Salaried Men
And Equipment".
In the event that the D/BE deems that any payment should be made pursuant
to this numbered Clause, he shall give prompt written notice to the Engineer
stating the reasons why he believes such payments should be made and shall
moreover, furnish to the Engineer at the end of each day, a memorandum showing
the name, payroll title, salary rate and employer of each of the workingmen, and
description, owner and claimed rental rate for each item of equipment claimed to
have been kept idle. Said notice and memorandum are for the purpose of enabling
the Engineer to verify the D/BE's claim at the time. Accordingly,
notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the failure of the D/BE to furnish
such notice and memorandum shall constitute a conclusive binding determination
on his part that the D/BE is not entitled to compensation as provided herein and
shall constitute a waiver by the D/BE of all claims for such payment, such
notice and memorandum being conditions precedent to payment under this numbered
Clause.
12. MONTHLY ADVANCES
On or about the first day of each month, the Engineer shall (upon receipt
from the D/BE of such information as the Engineer may require, including a
certification in writing, in such form as may be required pursuant to the Clause
hereunder entitled "Prevailing Rate of Wage", that he has paid and caused his
subcontractors to pay at least the prevailing rate of wage and supplements
required by such clause and a written statement indicating the names and amounts
paid during the preceding month or months to subcontractors and materialmen)
estimate and certify to the Authority the approximate amount of Work performed
and compensation earned by the D/BE up to that time showing separately:
-32-
<PAGE>
(a) The amount of Work (other than Extra Work) performed by the Contractor
up to that time and a sum bearing the same proportion to the Lump Sum
as the Work performed (other than Extra Work) bears to the Work
performed and to be performed (other than Extra Work).
(b) The increases, if any, in the compensation for which provision is
specifically made elsewhere in this Contract.
As an aid to the D/BE and to facilitate his performance, the Authority
shall within fifteen days after the receipt of each such monthly certificate,
advance to the D/BE by check the sums so certified, minus, however, either ten
(10) percent of the sum certified pursuant to subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
numbered clause or five (5) percent of the Total Lump Sum Price, whichever is
less, and minus all prior advances and payments to the D/BE or for his account.
Within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of any sum attributable to Work
performed by a subcontractor or materialman or within such later period as is
provided in the subcontract or purchase agreement, the D/BE shall advance to the
subcontractor or materialman said sum, less such amount, if any, as the D/BE is
authorized to retain under the subcontract or purchase agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, the Authority shall have the right, at its sole
discretion, to directly pay the subcontractors and material suppliers who
perform Work for or furnish materials to the D/BE in connection with the Work of
this Contract.
Prior to certifying any amount for payment hereunder, the Engineer may
require that the D/BE submit a certification accurately and fully setting forth
the total amount due and payable to each subcontractor or supplier for Work
performed or materials provided by such subcontractor or supplier in connection
with the Work of this Contract. Any payment made by the Authority to a
subcontractor or supplier pursuant to the provisions of this numbered Clause
shall be made in reliance upon such certification and all such payments shall be
considered as advances to the D/BE of the compensation payable hereunder. No
such payment shall relieve the D/BE of any of its obligations hereunder.
- 33 -
<PAGE>
Furthermore, within fifteen (15) calendar days of the D/BE's receipt of the
Authority's acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal, the D/BE shall submit to the
Engineer a listing of all subcontract and material supply agreements entered
into by the D/BE for the performance of Work required by this Contract. Such
listing shall include the names and addresses of each subcontractor and supplier
and the amounts payable under each such agreement. As and when any modifications
are made to such agreements or any additional subcontracts or supply agreements
are entered into, the D/BE shall inform the Engineer of such and shall indicate
the amounts payable hereunder.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any additional rights in
such subcontractors or suppliers or to alter the rights of the Authority as such
are set forth in the Clause hereof entitled "Withholding Of Payments".
13. FINAL PAYMENT
After the rendition of the Certificate of Final Completion and upon receipt
from the D/BE of such information as may be required, the Engineer shall certify
in writing to the Authority and to the D/BE the total compensation earned by the
D/BE.
If so required, the D/BE shall thereupon (i) certify to the Authority in
writing, in such form as may be required pursuant to the Clause hereof entitled
"Prevailing Rate Of Wage", that he has paid and caused his subcontractors to pay
at least the prevailing rate of wage and supplements required by such clause and
(ii) furnish to the Authority a detailed sworn statement of all claims, just and
unjust, of subcontractors, materialmen and other third persons then outstanding
and which he has reason to believe may thereafter be made on account of the
Work.
Within thirty (30) calendar days after issuance of such certificate of
total compensation earned (or within thirty days after receipt of the documents
provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph, if required), the Authority
shall pay to the D/BE by check the amount stated in said certificate, less all
other payments and advances whatsoever to or for the account of the D/BE. All
prior estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in this payment,
which is throughout this Contract called the Final Payment.
The acceptance by the D/BE or by anyone claiming by or through him, of
Final Payment shall be and shall operate as a release to the Authority of all
claims and of all liability to the D/BE for all things done or furnished in
connection with the Contract and for every act and neglect of the Authority and
others relating to or arising out of the Contract, including claims arising out
of breach of contract and claims based on claims of third persons, excepting
only his claims for reimbursement for certain sales taxes as hereinbefore
provided. No payment, however, final or otherwise, shall operate to release the
D/BE or his sureties from any obligations in connection with this Contract or
the Performance and Payment Bond.
-34-
<PAGE>
The D/BE's agreement as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph
above shall be deemed to be based upon the consideration forming part of this
Contract as a whole and not to be gratuitous; but in any event if deemed
gratuitous and without consideration, such agreement as provided in the
immediately preceding paragraph above shall nevertheless be effective. Such
release shall include all claims, whether or not in litigation and even though
still under consideration by the Authority or the Engineer. Such release shall
be effective notwithstanding any purported reservation of right by the D/BE to
preserve such claim. The acceptance of any check designated as "Final Payment"
or bearing any similar designation shall be conclusively presumed to demonstrate
the intent of the D/BE that such payment was intended to be accepted as final,
with the consequences provided in this numbered Clause, notwithstanding any
purported reservation of rights.
The D/BE agrees that he shall not be entitled to, and hereby waives any
right he might otherwise have to, and shall not seek any judgment whether under
this Contract or otherwise for any such Final Payment or for an amount
equivalent thereto or based thereon, or for any part thereof, if such judgment
would have the effect of varying, setting aside, disregarding or making
inapplicable the terms of this numbered Clause or have the effect in any way of
entitling the D/BE to accept such Final Payment or an amount equivalent thereto
or based thereon or any part thereof other than in the same fashion as a
voluntary acceptance of a Final Payment subject to all the terms of this
Contract including this numbered Clause, unless and until the D/BE should obtain
a judgment on any claim arising out of or in connection with this Contract
(including a claim based on breach of contract) for an amount not included in
said Final Payment. In any case in which interest is allowable on the amount of
the Final payment, such interest shall be at the rate of six (6) percent per
annum for the period, if any, in which such interest is due.
14. WITHHOLDING OF PAYMENTS
If (1) the D/BE fails to perform any of his obligations under this Contract
or any other agreement between the Authority and the D/BE (including his
obligation to the Authority to pay any claim lawfully made against him by any
materialman, subcontractor or workman or other third person which arises out of
or in connection with the performance of this Contract or any other agreement
with the Authority) or (2) any claim (just or unjust) which arises out of or in
connection with this Contract or any other agreement between the Authority and
the D/BE is made against the Authority or (3) any subcontractor under this
Contract or any other agreement between the Authority and the D/BE fails to pay
any claims lawfully made against him by any materialman, subcontractor, workman
or other third person which arises out of or in connection with this Contract or
any other agreement between the Authority and the D/BE or if in the opinion of
the Director any of the aforesaid contingencies is likely to arise, then the
Authority shall have the right, in its discretion, to withhold out of any
payment (final or otherwise and even though such payment has already been
certified as due) such sums as the Director may deem ample to protect it against
delay or loss or to assure the payment of just claims of third persons, and to
apply such sums in such manner as the Engineer may deem proper to secure such
-35-
<PAGE>
protection or satisfy such claims. All sums so applied shall be deducted from
the D/BE's compensation. Omission by the Authority to withhold out of any
payment, final or otherwise, a sum for any of the above contingencies, even
though such contingency has occurred at the time of such payment, shall not be
deemed to indicate that the Authority does not intend to exercise its right with
respect to such contingency. Neither the above provisions for rights of the
Authority to withhold and apply monies nor any exercise or attempted exercise
of, or omission to exercise, such rights by the Authority shall create any
obligation of any kind to such materialman, subcontractors, workmen or other
third persons.
Until actual payment to the D/BE his right to any amount to paid under this
Contract (even though such amount has already been certified as due) shall be
subordinate to the rights of the Authority under this numbered clause.
If, however, the payment of any amount due the D/BE shall be improperly
delayed by the fault of the Authority, the Authority shall pay the D/BE interest
thereon at the rate of six (6) percent per annum for the period of delay, it
being agreed that such interest shall be in lieu of and in liquidation of any
damages to the D/BE because of such delay.

CHAPTER III
PROVISIONS RELATING TO TIME
15. TIME FOR COMPLETION AND DAMAGES FOR DELAY
The performance of Work under this Contract shall proceed as follows:
A. The D/BE shall complete the performance of all Work under this Contract
within three hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days after receipt by
the D/BE of the Authority's acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal, as
follows:
I. the D/BE shall submit the Project Plan and Schedule to the
Engineer within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt by the
D/BE of the Authority's acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal; and,
II. the D/BE shall submit the General System Design Documents to the
Engineer within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by the
D/BE of the Authority's acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal; and,
III. the D/BE shall submit the Detailed System Design Documents to the
Engineer within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after
receipt by the D/BE of the Authority's acceptance of the D/BE's
Proposal; and,
IV. the D/BE shall submit the Acceptance Test Plan and the
Installation Plan to the Engineer within one hundred fifty-two
(152) calendar days after receipt by the D/BE of the Authority's
acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal; and,
V. the D/BE shall submit the Training Plan to the Engineer and shall
complete the Factory Test within two hundred thirteen (213)
calendar days after receipt by the D/BE of the Authority's
acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal; and,
VI. the D/BE shall complete the Installation of all the equipment and
new construction required under this Contract and shall complete
the Field Test within three hundred four (304) calendar days
after the receipt by the D/BE of the Authority's acceptance of
the D/BE's Proposal; and,
VII. the D/BE shall complete the Operational Test within three hundred
thirty-four (334) calendar days after receipt by the D/BE of the
Authority's acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal; and,
VIII. the D/BE shall complete the Training of Authority personnel and
shall complete Work on any outstanding Punch List Items and shall
submit all required Final Documents to the Engineer and shall
complete all Work required under this Contract within three
hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days after receipt by the D/BE
of the Authority's acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal.
- 37 -
<PAGE>
B. If a Performance And Payment Bond is required, the D/BE shall not
commence the performance of the Work, until the date of receipt by him
of notice from the Authority that the Performance And Payment Bond
furnished by him is satisfactory. The time for completion shall not be
extended on account of the time required to furnish the bond referred
to above, but the Authority shall give notice to the D/BE within ten
(10) days after receipt of the Performance And Payment Bond as to
whether or not such bond is satisfactory.
C. The D/BE shall perform all Extra Work ordered in accordance with the
provisions of this Contract as expeditiously as possible. Such orders
may be issued at any time up to and including 90 days after completion
of all other Work required by the Contract Drawings and Specifications
in their present form.
D. The D/BE's attention is directed to the fact that it may be necessary
to pay overtime wages and/or to employ a larger work force than normal
in order to complete the performance of the Contract within the times
above provided. In such event, the D/BE shall not be entitled to any
additional compensation by reason thereof.
E. The D/BE obligations for the performance and completion of the Work
within the time or times provided for in this Contract are of the
essence of this Contract. The D/BE guarantees that he can and will
complete the performance of the Work within the time hereinbefore
stipulated or within the time as extended in accordance with the
clause of the Form of Contract entitled "Extensions Of Time". Inasmuch
as the damages and loss to the Authority which will result from delay
in completing the performance of the Work within the Three Hundred
Sixty five (365) days herein stipulated will include items of loss
whose amount will be incapable or very difficult of accurate
estimation, the damages to the Authority for each calendar day by
which the D/BE does not complete performance of the Work within the
time above stipulated or within such time as extended in accordance
with the clause of the Form of Contract entitled "Extensions Of Time",
shall be liquidated in the sum of $500. per calendar day.
16. EXTENSIONS OF TIME
The time above provided for completion of any part of the Contract shall be
extended (subject, however, to the provisions of this numbered Clause) only if
in the opinion of the Engineer the D/BE is necessarily delayed in completing
such part by such time solely and directly by a cause which meets all the
following conditions:
1. Such cause is beyond the D/BE's control and arises without his fault;
2. Such cause comes into existence after the opening of Proposals on this
Contract and neither was nor could have been anticipated by
investigation before such opening.
- 38 -
<PAGE>
In any event, even though a cause of delay meets all the above conditions,
an extension shall be granted only to the extent that (i) the performance of the
work is actually and necessarily delayed and (ii) the effect of such cause
cannot be anticipated and avoided or mitigated by the exercise of all reasonable
precautions, efforts and measures (including planning, scheduling and
rescheduling), whether before or after the occurrence of the cause of delay, and
an extension shall not be granted for a cause of delay which would not have
affected the performance of the Contract were it not for the fault of the D/BE
or for other delay for which the D/BE is not entitled to an extension of time.
Any reference herein to the D/BE shall be deemed to include subcontractors
and materialmen, whether or not in privity of contract with the D/BE and
employees and others performing any part of the Contract and all the foregoing
shall be considered as agents of the D/BE.
The period of any extension of time shall be that necessary to make up the
time actually lost, subject to the provisions of this numbered Clause, and
shall be only for the portion of his decision on an extension and any extension
of time may be deferred, rescinded or shortened if it subsequently is found that
the delays can be overcome or reduced by the exercise of reasonable precautions,
efforts and measures.
As a condition precedent to an extension of time, the D/BE shall give
written notice to the Engineer within 48 hours after the time when he knows or
should know of any cause which might under any circumstances result in delay for
which he claims or may claim an extension of time (including those causes which
the Authority is responsible for or has knowledge of), specifically stating that
an extension is or may be claimed, identifying such cause and describing, as
fully as practicable at the time, the nature and expected duration of the delay
and its effect on the various portions of the Contract. Since the possible
necessity for an extension of time may materially alter the scheduling, plans
and other actions of the Authority, and since, with sufficient opportunity, the
Authority might if it so elects attempt to mitigate the effect of a delay for
which an extension of time might be claimed, and since merely oral notice may
cause disputes as to the existence or substance thereof, the giving of written
notice as above required shall be of the essence of the obligations and failure
of the D/BE to give written notice as above required shall a conclusive waiver
of an extension of time.
It shall in all cases presumed that no extension or further extension of
time is due unless the D/BE shall affirmatively demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the Engineer acting personally that it is. To this end, the D/BE shall
maintain adequate records supporting any claim for an extension of time, and in
the absence of such records, the foregoing presumption shall be deemed
conclusive.
-39-
<PAGE>
17. IDLE SALARIED MEN AND EQUIPMENT
If any salaried men or equipment of the D/BE or any subcontractor are
necessarily kept continuously idle and wholly unoccupied at the construction
site for a full day on each of two or more full days on which they would be
engaged in the performance of the Work but for causes due solely to acts or
omissions of the Authority or the Engineer occurring after the opening of
Proposals on this Contract, and if such idleness is not due to any cause within
the control of the D/BE or of any of his subcontractors or materialmen or his or
their employees, then the Authority shall pay to the D/BE and the D/BE shall
accept (in addition to any sums otherwise payable under this Contract, and in
full satisfaction of an in liquidation of all claims for damages because of such
act or omission of the Authority or the Engineer) an amount equal to that which
the employer actually pays such salaried employees during such full days of
idleness, plus a proper proportion of the premiums actually paid for Workers'
Compensation Insurance upon the basis of such salaries, a proper proportion of
vacation allowances and union dues and assessments actually paid by the employer
pursuant to contractual obligations on the basis of such salaries, and a proper
proportion of the taxes actually paid by the employer pursuant to law upon the
basis of such salaries and plus such rental equipment shall be computed by the
Engineer in accordance with the provisions of the Clause of the Form of Contract
entitled "Compensation For Extra Work"; provided, however, that the seven (7)
percent of the rental to be paid in accordance with said Claus in the case of
equipment utilized by subcontractors shall not be payable in connection with
such idle equipment; and provided further that the provisions of subparagraph
(3) of said Clause shall not be applicable to such idle equipment.
The D/BE shall give written notice to the Engineer before the end of the
second of the above-mentioned 2 or more full days (whether or not the Authority
is aware of the existence of any circumstances which might constitute a basis
for payment under this numbered clause), specifically stating that salaried men
or equipment have been kept idle under circumstances which result in payment
under this numbered clause; and he shall furnish with such notice, for all the
days that have occurred, and shall in addition furnish at the end of each
additional day of the above-mentioned 2 or more full days, (a) memorandum
showing the name, payroll title, salary rate and employer of each of the
salaried men claimed to have been kept idle at the construction site, and the
rates and amounts of Workers' Compensation Insurance premiums and taxes based
upon their salaries and the holiday and vacation allowances and union dues and
assessments which the employer must actually pay pursuant to contractual
obligations based on their salaries, and (b) a memorandum of the equipment
claimed to be kept idle, together with the amount claimed as rental therefor.
Said notice and memoranda are for the purpose of enabling the Engineer to verify
the D/BE's claim at the times, and of enabling the D/BE to take such steps as
may be necessary to remedy the conditions upon which the claim is based. The
furnishing of such notice and memoranda shall be condition precedent to payment
under this numbered Clause, so that the day on which notice is given shall be
counted as not later than the second of the above mentioned 2 or more full days
and no subsequent day shall be counted for which the above memoranda are not
furnished at the end of such day.
- 40 -
<PAGE>
18. DELAYS TO D/BE
As between the D/BE and the Authority, the D/BE assumes the risk of all
suspensions of or delays in performance of the Contract regardless of the length
thereof, arising from all causes whatsoever, whether or not relating to this
Contract, including wrongful acts or omissions of the Authority, its officers,
agents, employees and contractors, except only to the extent, if any, that
compensation or any extension of time may be due as expressly provided for
elsewhere in the Contract for such suspension or delays, and subject only to
such exception, the D/BE shall bear the burden of all costs, expenses and
liabilities which he may incur in connection with such suspensions or delays,
and all such suspensions, delays, costs, expenses and liabilities of any nature
whatsoever, whether or not provided for in this Contract, shall conclusively be
deemed to have been within the contemplation of the parties.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Contract, whether relating to time
of performance or otherwise, the Authority makes no representation or guaranty
as to when the construction site or any part thereof will be available for the
performance of the Contract or as to whether conditions at the construction site
will be such as to permit the Contract to be performed thereon without
interruption or by any particular sequence or method or as to whether the
performance of the Contract can be completed by the time required under this
Contract or by any other time.
Wherever in connection with this Contract it is required, expressly or
otherwise, that the Authority shall perform any act relating to the Contract,
including making available or furnishing any real property, materials, or other
things, no guaranty is made by the Authority as to the time of such performance
and the delay of the Authority in fulfilling such requirement shall not result
in liability of any kind on the part of the Authority except only to the extent,
if any, that an extension of time or compensation may be due as expressly
provided for elsewhere in this Contract.
19. CANCELLATION FOR DELAY
If the performance of the Contract or any portion of it shall, in the
opinion of the Director be materially delayed, whether or not through the fault
of the D/BE, by any cause which affects the D/BE's ability to perform the
Contract without affecting to the same degree the Authority's own ability to
perform it, either directly or through others, the Authority shall have the
right at any time during the existence of such delay to cancel this Contract as
to any portion not yet performed, without prejudice to the rights, liabilities
and obligations of the parties under this Contract arising out of portions
already performed, provided, however, that such right of cancellation shall not
exist if the delay be due to any wrongful act or omission of the Authority. In
the event of such cancellation, no allowance shall be made for anticipated
profits.
- 41 -
<PAGE>
CHAPTER IV
CONDUCT OF CONTRACT
20. AUTHORITY OF DIRECTOR
Inasmuch as the public interest requires that the Work to which this
Contract relates shall be performed in the manner which the Authority, acting
through the Director, deems best, the Director shall have the absolute authority
to determine what is or is not necessary or proper for or incidental to such
Work, and any statements made, or directives issued, by the Director regarding
the Contract Documents shall be deemed merely his present determination on this
point. In the exercise of this authority, the Director shall have the power to:
alter the Contract Documents; require the performance of Work not required by
them in their present form, even though of a totally different character from
that now required; and, vary, increase and diminish the character, quantity and
quality of, or to countermand any Work now or hereafter required. Such
variation, increase, diminution or countermanding need not be based on necessity
but may be based on convenience.
If at any time it shall be, from the viewpoint of the Authority,
impracticable or undesirable in the judgment of the Director to proceed with or
continue the performance of the Contract or any part thereof, whether or not for
reasons beyond the control of the Authority, he shall have authority to suspend
performance of any portion or all of the Contract until such time as he may deem
it practicable or desirable to proceed. Moreover, if at any time it shall be,
from the viewpoint of the Authority, impracticable or undesirable in the
judgment of the Director to proceed with or continue the performance of the
Contract or any part thereof for reasons beyond the control of the Authority, he
shall the authority to cancel this Contract as to any or all portions not yet
performed. Such cancellations shall be without prejudice to the rights and
obligations of the parties arising out of portions already performed, but no
allowance shall be made for anticipated profits.
In the event of a cancellation hereunder, the D/BE shall promptly deliver
to the Authority all Contract Documents in his possession, including but not
limited to design calculations, whether preliminary or final, produced to the
time of termination, and the Authority shall have an irrevocable, non-exclusive,
royalty-free license to make, have made and use, either itself or by anyone on
its behalf, the subject matter of such design documents in connection with any
activity now or hereinafter engaged in or permitted by the Authority. Further,
if the Director determines to cancel this Contract, the Director shall have the
right to require the D/BE to complete any Contract Documents the Director may
require, including but not limited to General System Design Drawings, Detailed
System Design Specifications and design calculations, and deliver them to the
Authority but to cease all construction activities, with the Contract to be
deemed terminated upon delivery of the approved final design documents and the
Authority shall have the right of use of such Documents as set forth in the last
preceding sentence and with determination of compensation to the D/BE to be at
the sole discretion of the Director.
- 42 -
<PAGE>
Wherever the Contract Documents refer to or require an approval by "the
Authority", the Director may grant such approval, on behalf of the Authority.
The Director may terminate this Contract WTC-893.071 and Contract WTC-799.54
with or without cause, upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the
D/BE.
21. AUTHORITY OF THE ENGINEER
To resolve all disputes and to prevent litigation the parties to this
Contract authorize the Engineer, acting personally, to decide all questions of
any nature whatsoever arising out of, under, or in connection with, or in any
way related to or on account of, this Contract (including claims in the nature
of breach of contract or fraud or misrepresentations before or subsequent to
acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal and claims of a type which are barred by the
provisions of this Contract) and his decision shall be conclusive, final and
binding on the parties. The effect of his decision shall not be impaired or
waived by any negotiations or settlement offers in connection with the question
decided, whether or not he participated therein himself, or by any prior
decision of others, which prior decisions shall be deemed subject to review, or
by any termination or cancellation of this Contract.
All such questions shall be submitted in writing by the D/BE to the
Engineer, for his decision, together with all evidence and other pertinent
information in regard to such questions, in order that a fair and impartial
decision may be made. In any action against the Authority relating to any such
question the D/BE must allege in his complaint and prove such submission, which
shall be a condition precedent to any such action. No evidence or information
shall be introduced or relied upon in such an action that has not been so
presented to the Engineer personally. Neither the requirements of this paragraph
nor the time necessary for compliance therewith, however, shall affect the time
when the cause of action shall be deemed to have accrued for purposes of any
statute controlling actions against the Authority, and the time of such accrual
shall be determined without reference to this paragraph.
In the performance of the Contract, the D/BE shall conform to all orders,
directions and requirements of the Engineer and shall perform the Contract to
the satisfaction of the Engineer at such times and places, by such methods and
in such manner and sequences as he may require, and the Contract shall at all
stages be subject to his inspection. The Engineer shall determine the amount,
quality, acceptability and fitness of all parts of the Work and shall interpret
the Contract Documents. The D/BE shall employ no equipment, materials, methods
or men to which the Engineer objects, and shall remove no materials, equipment
or other facilities from the construction site without permission. Upon request,
the Engineer shall confirm in writing any oral order, direction, requirements or
determination.
The D/BE is requested to orally advise the Engineer of questions as they
arise. Although such advice will not substitute for the written notice and
information for which requirements are set forth elsewhere herein, it is
anticipated that it will facilitate prompt decisions on the part of the Engineer
and others.

The enumeration in the Contract Documents of particular instances in which
the opinion, judgment, discretion or determination of the Engineer shall control
or in which the Contract shall be performed to his satisfaction or subject to
his inspection, shall not imply that only the matters of a nature similar to
those enumerated shall be so governed and performed, but without exception the
entire Contract shall be so governed and so performed.
Wherever the Contract Documents refer to or require an approval by "the
Authority", the Engineer may grant such approval, on behalf of the Authority,
unless noted otherwise.
22. NOTICE REQUIREMENTS
No claim against the Authority shall be made or asserted in any action or
proceeding at law or in equity, and the D/BE shall not be entitled to allowance
of such claim, unless the D/BE shall have complied with all requirements
relating to the giving of written notice and of information with respect to such
claim as provided in this numbered Clause. The failure of the D/BE to give such
written notice and information as to any claim shall be conclusively deemed to
be a waiver by the D/BE of such claim, such written notice and information being
conditions precedent to such claim. As used herein, "claim" shall include any
claim arising out of, under, or in connection with, or in any way related to or
on account of, this Contract (including claims in the nature of breach of
contract of fraud or misrepresentation before or subsequent to acceptance of the
D/BE's Proposal and claims of a type which are barred by the provisions of this
Contract) for damages, payment or compensation of any nature or for extension
of any time for performance of any part of this Contract.
The requirements as to the giving of written notice and information with
respect to claims shall be as follows:
1. In the case of any claims for Extra Work, extensions of time for
completion, idle salaried men and equipment, or any other matter for which
requirements are set forth elsewhere in this Contract as to notice and
information, such requirements shall apply.
2. In the case of all other types of claim, notice shall have been given
to the Engineer, personally, as soon as practicable, and in any case, within 48
hours, after occurrence of the act, omission, or other circumstance upon which
the claim is or will be based, stating as fully as practicable at the time all
information relating thereto. Such information shall be supplemented with any
further information as soon as practicable after it becomes or should become
known to the D/BE, including daily records showing all costs which the D/BE may
be incurring or all other circumstances which will affect any claim to be made,
which records shall be submitted to the Engineer, personally.
The above requirements for notices and information are for the purpose of
enabling the Authority to avoid waste of public funds by affording it promptly
the opportunity to cancel or revise any order, change its plans, mitigate or
remedy the effects of circumstances giving rise to a claim or take such other
-44-
<PAGE>
action as may seem desirable and to verify any claimed expense or circumstances
as they occur, and the requirements herein for such notice and information are
essential to this Contract and are in addition to any notice required by statute
with respect to suits against the Authority.
The above-referred-to notices and information are required whether or not
the Authority is aware of the existence of any circumstances which might
constitute a basis for a claim and whether or not the Authority has indicated it
will consider a claim.
No act, omission, or statement, of any kind shall be regarded as a waiver
of any of the provisions of this numbered clause or may be relied upon as such
waiver except only either a written statement signed by the Executive Engineer
of the Authority or a resolution of the Commissioners of the Authority expressly
stating that a waiver is intended as to any particular provision of this
numbered Clause, and more particularly no discussion, negotiations,
consideration, correspondence, or requests for information with respect to a
claim by any Commissioner, officer, employee, agent, consultant or contractor of
the Authority shall be construed as a waiver of any provision of this numbered
Clause or as authority or apparent authority to effect such a waiver.
Since merely oral notice or information may cause disputes as to the
existence or substance thereof, and since notice, even if written, to other than
the Authority representative above designated to receive it may not be
sufficient to come to the attention of the representative of the Authority with
the knowledge and responsibility of dealing with the situation, only notice and
information complying with the express provision of this numbered Clause shall
be deemed to fulfill the obligation under this Contract.
23. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
During the performance of this Contract, the D/BE agrees as follows:
(a) The D/BE will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of race, creed, sex, color or national origin, and will take
affirmative action to insure that they are afforded equal employment
opportunities without discrimination because of race, creed, sex, color or
national origin. Such action shall be taken with reference, but not be limited
to: recruitment, employment, job assignment, promotion, upgrading, demotion,
transfer, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation,
and selection for training or retraining, including apprenticeship and
on-the-job training.
(b) The D/BE shall send to each labor union or representative of workers
with which he has or is bound by a collective bargaining or other agreement or
understanding, a notice, to be provided by the State Commission for Human
Rights, advising such labor union or representative of the agreement under
paragraphs (a) through (h) (hereinafter called "nondiscrimination paragraphs").
If the D/BE was directed to do so by the Authority as part of the Proposal or
negotiation of this Contract, the D/BE shall request such labor union or
representative to furnish him with written statement that such labor union or
representative will not discriminate because of race, creed, sex,
- 45 -
<PAGE>
color or national origin and that such labor union or representative either will
affirmatively cooperate, within the limits of its legal and contractual
authority, in the implementation of the policy and provisions of these
nondiscrimination paragraphs or that it consents and agrees that recruitment,
employment, and the terms and conditions of employment under this Contract shall
be in accordance with the purposes and provisions of these nondiscrimination
paragraphs. If such labor union or representative fails or refuses to comply
with such a request that it furnish such a statement, the D/BE shall promptly
notify the State Commission for Human Rights of such failure or refusal.
(c) The D/BE shall post and keep posted in conspicuous places, available
to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the State
Commission for Human Rights setting forth the substance of the provisions of
paragraphs (a) and (b) and such provisions of the State's laws against
discrimination as the State Commission for Human Rights shall determine.
(d) The D/BE shall state, in all solicitations or advertisements for
employees placed by or on behalf of the D/BE, that all qualified applicants will
be afforded equal employment opportunities without discrimination because of
race, creed, sex, color or national origin.
(e) The D/BE shall comply with the provisions of Sections 291-299 of the
Executive Law and the Civil Rights Law, shall furnish all information and
reports deemed necessary by the State Commission for Human Rights under these
nondiscrimination clauses and such sections of the Executive Law, and shall
permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the State Commission for
Human Rights, the Attorney General and the Industrial Commissioner for the
purpose of investigation to ascertain compliance with these nondiscrimination
paragraphs and such sections of the Executive Law and Civil Rights Law.
(f) This Contract may be forthwith canceled, terminated or suspended, in
whole or in part, by the Authority upon the basis of a finding made by the State
Commission for Human Rights that the D/BE has not complied with these
nondiscrimination paragraphs, and the D/BE may be declared ineligible for future
contracts made by or on behalf of the State, the Authority or other public
authority or agency of the State, until he has satisfied the State Commission
for Human Rights that he has established and is carrying out a program in
conformity with the provisions of these nondiscrimination paragraphs. Such
finding shall be made by the State Commission for Human Rights after
conciliation efforts by the Commission has failed to achieve compliance with
these nondiscrimination paragraphs and after a verified complaint has been filed
with the Commission, notice thereof has been given to the D/BE by the Commission
and an opportunity has been afforded him to be heard publicly before the State
Commissioner of Human Rights or his designee. Such sanctions may be imposed and
remedies invoked independently of or in addition to sanctions and remedies
otherwise provided by law.
- 46 -
<PAGE>
(g) The D/BE shall include the provisions of nondiscrimination paragraphs
(a) through (f) in every subcontract or purchase order in such a manner that
such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor as to
operations to be performed within the State of New York. The D/BE shall take
such action in enforcing such provisions of such subcontract or purchase order
as the Authority may direct, including sanctions or remedies for noncompliance.
If the D/BE becomes involved in or is threatened with litigation with a
subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the Authority, the D/BE
shall promptly so notify the General Counsel of the Authority, requesting him to
intervene and protect the interests of the Authority.
(h) The provisions of this numbered Clause which refer to the State
Commission for Human Rights, the Attorney General and the Industrial
Commissioner are inserted in the Contract for the benefit of such parties, as
well as for the benefit of the Authority, and said Commission, Commissioner and
the Attorney General shall have a direct right of action against the D/BE to
effectuate the intent of this Clause.
24. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION REQUIREMENTS - EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
The D/BE shall comply with the provisions set forth hereinafter. These
provisions are modeled on the conditions for Proposing on federal government
contracts adopted by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance in 1987.
The D/BE and all the D/BE's subcontractors (hereinafter called the "D/BE")
must fully comply with the Clause hereof entitled "Equal Employment Opportunity"
as to each construction trade the D/BE intends to use on this Contract. The D/BE
commits itself to the goals for minority and female utilization set forth below
and all other requirements, terms and conditions of this Contract by submitting
a properly signed Proposal.
The D/BE shall appoint an executive of the D/BE to assume the
responsibility for the implementation of the requirements, terms and conditions
of this Contract.
A. The goals for minority and female participation, expressed in
percentage terms, for the workforce at the construction site
under this Contract are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Minority, except laborers 30%
Minority, laborers 40%
Female, except laborers 6.9%
Female, laborers 6.9%
</TABLE>
These goals are applicable to all construction Work performed at the
construction site under this Contract.
-47-
<PAGE>
The D/BE's compliance with this Section shall be based on its
implementation of the Clause entitled "Equal Employment Opportunity", and
specific affirmative action obligations required herein of minority and female
employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of
the contract, and in each trade. The transfer of minority or female employees or
trainees from contractor to contractor or from project to project for the sole
purpose of meeting the D/BE's goals shall be violation of the Contract.
Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours
performed.
B. 1. The D/BE shall provide written notification to the Engineer of
The Office of Business and Job Opportunity of the Authority
within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract
in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction Work under this
contract. The notification shall list: the name, address and
telephone number of the subcontractor; the subcontractor's
employer identification number; estimated dollar amount of the
subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the
subcontract; and the geographical area in which the subcontract
is to be performed.
2. The D/BE shall submit a Workforce Projection Schedule, which
shall be correlated to the progress schedule, within thirty days
after acceptance of the proposal, for the approval of the
Engineer. The D/BE shall maintain and periodically update such
schedule at intervals as required by the Engineer. The Workforce
Projection Schedule shall include the time period in which each
trade shall be utilized, the average number of workers required
per trade on a weekly basis, the peak period for each trade, and
the number of workers required per trade for the peak on a weekly
basis.
C. 1. As used in this numbered Clause:
a. "Manager" means Director of the Office of Minority Business
Development of the Authority:
b. "Employer identification number" means the Federal Social
Security number used on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax
Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941;
c. "Minority" includes:
(i) Black (all persons origins in any of the Black
African racial groups not of Hispanic
(ii) Hispanic persons of Puerto Rican, Mexican, Dominican,
Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish
culture or origin, regardless of race;
(iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having
origins in any of the original peoples of the Far
East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the
Pacific Islands); and
- 48 -
<PAGE>
(vi) Native American or Alaskan native (all persons having origins in
any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining
identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and
participation or identification).
2. Whenever the D/BE or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion
of the Work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include
in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 these provisions which include the
applicable goals for minority and female participation.
3. The D/BE shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided
in paragraphs 6.a. through 6.p. hereof. The goals set forth above are
expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of
minority and female utilization the D/BE should reasonably be able to
achieve in the total workforce at the construction site under the Contract
including employees of the D/BE and the subcontractors. The D/BE is
expected to make substantially uniform progress toward its goals in each
craft during the period specified. These goals may be achieved through
utilization of journeyworkers and apprentices. In the event they are not
achieved through the utilization of journeyworkers, the maximum number of
apprentices provided for in the applicable collective bargaining agreement
may be utilized to achieve said goals.
4. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the
failure by a union with whom the D/BE has a collective bargaining
agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the D/BE's
obligations hereunder.
5. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to
be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be
employed by the D/BE during the training period, and the D/BE must have
made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion
of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities.
Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S.
Department of Labor.
6. The D/BE shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment
opportunity. The evaluation of the compliance with these provisions shall
be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions.
Further each D/BE and subcontractor shall utilize his best efforts to
attain such goals with his own workforce and, at a minimum, shall achieve
goals which are higher than the minority and female participation achieved
in the preceding calendar year. The D/BE and subcontractors shall document
these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least
as extensive as the following:
- 49 -
<PAGE>
a. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female
recruitment sources, provide written notification to
minority and female recruitment sources and to community
organizations when the D/BE or its unions have employment
opportunities available, and maintain a record of the
organizations' responses.
b. Develop maximum job opportunities for apprentice appropriate
to the conditions of the Work and subject to the applicable
collective bargaining agreement, in conjunction with
training programs for the area which expressly include
minorities and women, including upgrading programs and
apprenticeship programs relevant to the employment needs,
especially those programs funded or approved by the
Department of Labor. The D/BE shall provide notice of these
programs to the sources complied under 6.a. above.
c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and
telephone numbers of each minority and female off-the-street
applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a
recruitment source or community organization and of what
action was taken with respect to each individual. If such
individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral
and was not referred back to the D/BE by the union or, if
referred, not employed by the D/BE, this shall be documented
in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever
additional actions the D/BE may not have taken.
d. Provided immediate written notification to the Manager when
the union or unions with which the D/BE has collective
bargaining agreement has not referred to the D/BE a minority
person or woman sent by the D/BE or when the D/BE has other
information that the union referral process has impeded the
efforts to meet its obligations.
e. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of
harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in
all facilities at which the employees are assigned to work.
The D/BE, where possible, will assign two or more women to
each construction project. The D/BE shall specifically
ensure that all foreman, superintendents, and other onsite
supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the D/BE's
obligation to maintain such working environment, with
specific attention to minority or female individuals working
at such sites or in such facilities.
- 50 -
<PAGE>
f. Disseminate the D/BE's EEO policy by providing notice of the
policy to unions and training programs and requesting their
cooperation in assisting the D/BE in meeting its EEO
obligation; by including it in any policy manual and
collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the
company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review
of the policy with all management personnel and with all
minority and female employees at least once a year; and by
posting the D/BE's EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible
to all employees at each location where construction work is
performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the s EEO policy and affirmative
action obligations hereunder with all employees having any
responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination
or other employment decisions including specific review of
these items with onsite supervisory personnel such as
Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the
initiation of construction work at any job site. A written
record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and
place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter
discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the D/BE's EEO policy externally by including it
in any advertising in the news media, specifically including
minority and female news media, and providing written
notification to and discussing the D/BE's EEO policy with
other contractors and Subcontractors with whom the D/BE does
or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to
minority, female and community organizations to schools with
minority and female students and to minority and female
recruitment and training organizations serving the
recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one
month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications
for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment
source, the D/BE shall send written notification to
organizations such as the above, describing the openings,
screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection
process
j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit
other minority persons and women and, where reasonable,
provide after school, summer and vacation employment to
minority and female youth both on the site and in other
areas of a D/BE's work force.
k. Tests and other selection requirements shall comply with 41
CFR Part 60-3
- 51 -
<PAGE>
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of
all minority and female personnel for promotion opportunities and
encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through
appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments
and other personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by
continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities
to ensure that the EEO policy and the D/BE's obligation hereunder are
being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are non-segregated
except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing
facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes.
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for
subcontracts from minority and female construction contractors and
suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and
female contractor associations and other business associations.
p. conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to
and performance under the D/BE's EEO policies and affirmative action
obligations.
7. The D/BE is encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which
assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations
(6.a through 6.p above). The efforts of a contractor association, joint
contractor-community, or other similar group of which the D/BE is a member
and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its
obligations under 6.a. through 6.p. above provided that the D/BE actively
participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has
a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the
industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected
in the minority and female work force participation, makes a good faith
effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access
to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on
behalf of the D/BE. The obligation to comply, however, is the and failure
of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the
D/BE's noncompliance.
- 52 -
<PAGE>
8. Goals for minorities for women have been established. The D/BE, however, is
required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative
action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both
minority and non-minority. Consequently, the D/BE may be in violation
hereof if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate
manner (for example, even though the D/BE has achieved its goals for women
generally, the D/BE may be in violation hereof if a specific minority group
of women is underutilized).
9. The D/BE shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action
standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color,
religion, sex, or national origin.
10. The D/BE shall not enter into any subcontract with any person of firm
debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
11. The D/BE shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of this
Clause and of the clause entitled "Equal Employment Opportunity", including
suspension, termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be
imposed or ordered by the Authority. If the D/BE fails to carry out such
sanctions and penalties the D/BE shall be in violation hereof.
12. The D/BE, in fulfilling its obligations hereunder shall implement specific
affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards
prescribed in paragraph 6. above, so as to achieve maximum results from its
efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the D/BE fails to comply
with the requirements of these provisions, the Authority shall proceed
accordingly.
13. The D/BE shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment
related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried
out, to submit reports, including the Monthly Employment Utilization
Report, relating to the provisions hereof as may be required and to keep
records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name,
address. telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any,
employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race,
sex, status (e.g. mechanic, apprentice trainee, helper, or laborer) dates
of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of
pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be
maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to
the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors
shall not be required to maintain separate records.
- 53 -
<PAGE>
14. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon
the application of any laws which establish standards of
compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring
of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public
Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block
Grant Program).
25. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS
The D/BE assures that it will undertake an affirmative action program as
required by 14 CFR Part 152, subpart E, to ensure that no person shall on the
grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, or sex be excluded from
participating in any employment activities covered in 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart
E. The D/BE assures that no person shall be excluded on these grounds from
participating in or receiving the services, or benefits of any program or
activity covered by this Subpart. The D/BE assures that it will require that its
covered suborganizations provide assurances to the D/BE that they similarly will
undertake affirmative action programs and that they will require assurances from
their suborganizations, as required by 14 CPR Part 152, Subpart E, to the same
effect.
26. PREVAILING RATE OF WAGE
The D/BE shall pay or provide (and shall cause all subcontractors to pay or
provide) to his or their workmen, laborers and mechanics (who are employed by
him or them to work on an hourly or daily basis at any trade or occupation at or
about the construction site) at least the prevailing rate of wage and
supplements for others engaged in the same trade or occupation in the locality
in which the Work is being performed as determined by the Engineer and
notwithstanding that such rate may be higher than the rate in effect on the date
of opening of Proposals.
For purposes of this Contract, the Engineer has determined that the
prevailing rates of wage and supplements are those established by the
Commissioner of Labor of the State of New York for the locality and for the
period of time in which the Work is performed. The currently prevailing rates of
wage and supplements are set forth in the Prevailing Rate Schedule annexed
hereto and made apart hereof. These rates are subject to annual adjustment
effective July 1st of each year and a Prevailing Rate Schedule reflecting all
adjustments will be available for the D/BE's inspection on or about July 15th of
each year in Room 51W, 1 World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048 during
regular business hours.
- 54 -
<PAGE>
The provisions of this numbered Clause are inserted in this Contract for
the benefit of such workmen, laborers and mechanics as well as for the benefit
of the Authority and if the D/BE or any subcontractor shall pay or provide any
such workman, laborer or mechanic less than the rates of wages and supplements
above described, such workman, laborer or mechanic shall have a direct right of
action against the D/BE or such subcontractor for the difference between the
wages and supplements actually paid or provided and those to which he is
entitled under this Clause. If such workman, laborer or mechanic is employed by
any subcontractor whose subcontract does not contain a provision substantially
similar to the provisions of this clause (requiring the payment or provision of
at least the above minimum, and providing for a cause of action in the event of
the subcontractor's failure to pay or provide such wages and supplements) such
workman, laborer or mechanic shall have a direct right of action against the
D/BE. The Authority shall not be a necessary party to any action brought by any
workman, laborer or mechanic to obtain a money judgment against the D/BE or any
subcontractor pursuant to this numbered Clause.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the D/BE or any
subcontractor from paying higher rates of wages or providing higher supplements
than the minimum hereinbefore prescribed; and nothing herein contained shall be
construed to constitute a representation or guarantee that the D/BE or any
subcontractor can obtain workmen, laborers and mechanics for minimum
hereinbefore prescribed.
The Engineer may at any time request that the D/BE certify in writing that
he has paid or provided (and has caused all subcontractors to pay or provide) at
least the prevailing rates of wage and supplements required by this numbered
Clause and the D/BE shall comply with any such request within ten (100 calendar
days of his receipt thereof. The D/BE shall include in his certification such
detail as the Engineer may require with respect to hourly wages and supplements
actually paid or provided by the D/BE or any subcontractor to each of his or
their laborers, workmen and mechanics employed as described in this numbered
Clause.
The D/BE's failure to comply with any provision of this numbered Clause
shall be deemed a substantial breach of this Contract.
27. TITLE TO MATERIALS
All material to become part of the permanent construction shall be and
become the property of the Authority upon delivery at the construction site or
upon being especially adapted for use in or as a part of the permanent
construction, whichever may first occur, subject however to the assumption of
risk under the Clause hereof entitled "Risks Assumed By The D/BE", subparagraph
(a).
The D/BE shall promptly furnish to the Authority such bills of sale and
other instruments as may be required by it, properly executed, acknowledged and
delivered, assuring to it title to such materials, free of encumbrances and
shall mark or otherwise identify all such materials as the property of the
Authority.
- 55 -
<PAGE>
28. ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACTS
Any assignment or other contract transfer by the D/BE of this Contract or
any part hereof or of any of his rights hereunder or of any monies due or to
become due hereunder and any delegation of any of his duties hereunder without
the express consent in writing of the Authority shall be void and of no effect
as to the Authority, provided however, that the D/BE may subcontract portions of
the Work to such persons as the Engineer may, from time to time, expressly
approve in writing. For each individual, partnership or corporation proposed by
the D/BE may subcontract portions of the Work to such persons as the Engineer
may, from time to time, expressly approve in writing. For each individual,
partnership or corporation proposed by the D/BE as a subcontractor, the D/BE
shall submit to the Authority a certification or, if a certification cannot be
made, a statement by each person, partnership or corporation to the same effect
as the certification of statement required from the D/BE pursuant to the Clauses
of the "Information For" entitled "Certification Of No Indictment, Conviction,
Suspension, Debarment Or Termination" and "Non-Collusive Bidding And Code Of
Ethics Certification; Certification Of No Solicitation Based on Commission,
Percentage, Brokerage, Contingent Fee Or Other Fee". All further subcontracting
by any contractor shall also be subject to such approval of the Engineer.
Approval of a subcontractor may be conditioned on (among other things) the
furnishing, without expense to the Authority, of a surety bond guaranteeing
payment by the subcontractor or claims of materialmen, subcontractors, workmen
and other third persons arising out of the subcontractor's performance of any
part of the Work.
No consent to any assignment or other transfer, and no approval of any
subcontractor, shall under any circumstances operate to relieve the D/BE of any
of his obligations; no subcontract, no approval of any subcontract and no act or
omission of the Authority or the Engineer shall create any rights in favor of
such subcontractor and against the Authority; and as between the Authority and
the D/BE, all assignees, subcontractors, and other transferees shall for all
purposes be deemed to be agents of the D/BE. Moreover, all subcontracts and all
approvals of subcontractors shall be and, regardless of their form, shall be
deemed to be conditioned upon performance by the subcontractor in accordance
with this Contract; and if any subcontractor shall fail to perform the Contract
to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the Engineer shall have the absolute right
to rescind his approval forthwith and to require the performance of the Contract
by the D/BE personally or through other approved subcontractors.
29. CLAIMS OF THIRD PERSONS
The D/BE undertakes to pay all claims lawfully made against him by
subcontractors, materialmen and workmen, and all claims lawfully made against
him by other third persons arising out of or in connection with or because of
the performance of this Contract and to cause all subcontractors to pay all such
claims lawfully made against them.

30. CERTIFICATE OF PARTIAL COMPLETION
If at any time prior to the rendition of the Certificate of Final
Completion, any portion of the permanent construction has been satisfactorily
completed, and if in the judgment of the Engineer such portion of the permanent
construction is not necessary for the operations of the D/BE but will be
immediately useful to and is needed by the Authority for other purposes, the
Engineer may render to the Authority and to the D/BE a certificate in writing to
that effect (herein called Certificate of Partial Completion), and thereupon or
at any time thereafter the Authority may take over and use the portion of the
permanent construction described in such Certificate and exclude the D/BE
therefrom.
The rendition of a Certificate of Partial Completion shall not be construed
to constitute an extension of the time to complete the portion of the permanent
construction to which it related in the event that he has failed to complete the
same in accordance with the terms of this Contract. Moreover, the acceptance of
a Certificate of Partial Completion by the Authority shall not operate to
release the D/BE or his sureties from any obligations under or upon this
Contract or the Performance and Payment Bond.
31. CERTIFICATE OF FINAL COMPLETION
After the satisfactory completion of all Work whatsoever required and the
making of such tests and inspections as may be necessary or desirable, and
including written certification by the D/BE's Engineer or Record that the
construction has been executed in accordance with the Contract Documents, with
any deviations specifically noted, the Engineer shall render to the Authority
and to the D/BE a certificate in writing (herein called the Certificate of Final
Completion) certifying that in his opinion all Work under this Contract,
including extra Work, has been completed in accordance with the Contract
Documents and the requirements of the Engineer, and certifying the date as of
which it was so completed.
The rendition of the Certificate of Final Completion shall not be construed
to constitute an extension of the D/BE's time for performance in the event that
he has failed to complete the Work in accordance with the terms of this
Contract. Moreover, the acceptance of the Certificate of Final Completion by the
Authority shall not operate to release the D/BE or his sureties from any
obligations under or upon this Contract or the Performance and Payment Bond.
32. NO GIFTS, GRATUITIES, OFFERS OF EMPLOYMENT, ETC.
During the term of this Contract, the D/BE shall not offer, give or agree
to give anything of value either to an Authority employee, agent, job shopper,
consultant, construction manager or other person or firm representing the Port
Authority, or to a member of the immediate family (i.e., a spouse, child,
parent, brother or sister) of any of the foregoing, in connection with the
performance by such employee, agent, job shopper, consultant, construction
manager or other person or firm representing the Authority of duties involving
transactions with the D/BE on behalf of the Authority, whether or not such
duties are related to this Contract or any other Authority contract or matter.
Any such conduct shall be deemed a material breach of this Contract.
-57-
<PAGE>
As used herein "anything of value" shall include but not be limited to any
(a) favors, such as meals, entertainment, transportation (other than that
contemplated by the Contract or any other Authority Contract) etc., which might
tend to obligate the Authority employee to the D/BE, and (b) gift, gratuity,

all subsidiaries of the Authority. Currently, those subsidiaries are the Port
Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation (PATH) and the Newark Legal and
Communications Center.
In addition, during the term of this Contract, the D/BE shall not made an
offer of employment or use confidential information in a manner prescribed by
the Code of Ethics and Financial Disclosure dated as of July 18, 1994 (a copy of

CHAPTER V
WARRANTIES MADE AND LIABILITY ASSUMED
BY THE D/BE
33. WARRANTIES
The D/BE represents and warrants:
(a) That he is financially solvent, that he is experienced in and

Contract, that the facts stated or shown in any papers submitted or
referred to in connection with his Proposal are true, and, if the D/BE

(d) That no Commissioner, officer, agent, employee, consultant or
contractor of the Authority is personally interested directly or
indirectly in this Contract or the compensation to be paid hereunder;
and
(e) That except only for those representations, statements or promises
expressly contained in this Contract, no representation, statement or
promise, oral or in writing of any kind whatsoever by the Authority,
its Commissioners, officers, agents, employees or consultants has
induced the D/BE to enter into this Contract or has been relied upon
by the D/BE, including any with reference to: (1) the meaning,
correctness, suitability, or completeness of any provisions or
requirements of this Contract; (2) the nature, existence or location
of materials, structures, obstructions, utilities or conditions,
surface or subsurface, which may be encountered at the construction

any discussions thereof, the performance thereof or those employed
therein or connected or concerned therewith.
-59-
<PAGE>
Moreover, the D/BE accepts the conditions at the construction site as they
may eventually be found to enter and warrants and represents that he can and
will perform the Contract under such conditions and that all materials,
equipment, labor and other facilities required because of any unforeseen
conditions (physical or otherwise) shall be wholly at his own cost and expense,
anything in this Contract to the contrary notwithstanding.
Nothing in the Preliminary Design Criteria or any other part of the
Contract Documents is intended as or shall constitute a representation by the
Authority as to the feasibility of performance of this Contract or any part
thereof. Moreover, the Authority does not warrant or represent either by
issuance of the Preliminary Design Criteria, or by any provision of this
Contract as to time for performance or completion or otherwise that the Contract
may be performed or completed by the times required herein or by any other
times.
The D/BE further represents and warrants that he was given ample
opportunity and time and by means of this paragraph was requested by the
Authority, to review thoroughly all documents forming this Contract prior to
opening of Proposals on this Contract in order that he might request inclusion
in this Contract of any statement, representation, promise or provision which he
desired or on which he wished to place reliance; that he did so review said
documents; that either every such statement, representation, promise or
provision has been included in this Contract or else, if omitted, that he
expressly relinquishes the benefit of any such omitted statement,
representation, promise or provision and is willing to perform this Contract
without claiming reliance thereon making any other claim on account of such
omission.
The D/BE further recognizes that the provisions of this numbered Clause
(though not only such provisions) are essential to the Authority's consent to
enter into this Contract and that without such provisions, the Authority would
not have entered into this Contract.
34. RISKS ASSUMED BY THE D/BE
The D/BE assumes the following distinct and several risks, to the extent
caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the D/BE, its employees, agents and
subcontractors during the performance of the Work, but not to the extent by
others.
(a) The risk of loss or damage to the Work prior to the rendition of the
Certificate of Final Completion (other than loss or damage to the portions of
the Work with respect to which Certificates of Partial Completion have been
issued), and the D/BE shall forthwith repair, replace and make good any such
loss or damage to the Work without cost to the Authority:
-60-
<PAGE>
(b) The risk of losses, fines or penalties, just or unjust, suffered by
third persons or assessed by courts or governmental agencies or entities
against the D/BE or the Authority on account of injuries (including wrongful
death), loss, damage or liability of any kind whatsoever arising out of or in
connection with the performance of the Work or out of or in connection with the
operations or presence at or in the vicinity of the construction site or
Authority premises, including the payment of workers' compensation, whether such
losses, fines or penalties are suffered or assessed and whether such injuries,
damage and loss and liability are sustained at any time both before and after
the rendition of the Certificate of Final Completion;
(c) The risk of loss or damage to any property of the D/BE and of claims
made against the D/BE or the Authority, for loss or damage to any property of
subcontractors, materialmen, workmen and other performing the Work, occurring at
any time prior to completion of removal of such property from the construction
site or Authority premises or the vicinity thereof.
The D/BE shall indemnify the Authority against all losses described in
subparagraphs (b) and (c) above to the extent caused by the negligent acts or
omissions of the D/BE, including all expense incurred by it in the defense,
settlement or satisfaction thereof, including expenses of attorneys, except
where indemnity would be precluded by New York State General Obligations Law,
Section 5-322.1 or by other applicable law.
If so directed, the D/BE shall defend against any claim described in
subparagraphs (b) and (c) above, in which event he shall not without obtaining
express advance permission from the General Counsel of the Authority raise any
defense involving in any way jurisdiction of the tribunal, immunity of the
Authority, governmental nature of the Authority or the provisions of any
statutes respecting suits against the Authority. Unless a claim is one which
the D/BE is not required to indemnify the Authority against as described in the
first sentence of this Paragraph, such defense shall be at the cost.
The provisions of this numbered Clause shall also be for the benefit of the
Commissioners, officers, agents and employees of the Authority, so that they
shall have all the rights which they would have under this numbered Clause if
they were named at each place above at which the Authority is named, including a
direct right of action against the D/BE to enforce the foregoing indemnity,
except, however, that the Authority by action of its board of Commissioners may
at any time in its sole discretion and without liability on its part cancel the
benefit conferred on any of them by this numbered Clause, whether or not the
occasion for invoking such benefit has already arisen at the time of such
cancellation.
Neither the issuance of a Certificate of Final Completion nor the making of
Final Payment shall release the D/BE from his obligations under this numbered
Clause. Moreover, neither the enumeration in this numbered Clause nor the
enumeration elsewhere in this Contract of particular risks assumed by the D/BE
or of particular claims for which he is responsible shall be deemed (a) to limit
the effect of the provisions of this numbered Clause or of any other
- 61 -
<PAGE>
clause of this Contract relating to such risks or claims, (b) to imply that he
assumes or is responsible for risks or claims only of the type enumerated in
this numbered Clause or in any other clause of this Contract, or (c) to limit
the risks which he would assume or the claims for which he would be responsible
in the absence of such enumerations.
35. NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
Nothing contained in this Contract is intended for the benefit of third
persons, except to the extent that the Contract specifically provides otherwise
by use of the words "benefit" or "direct right of action".
36. INSURANCE PROCURED BY AUTHORITY
In order to reduce the cost of this Contract, the Authority will procure
and will maintain in force and pay the premiums on:
A. A policy of primary public liability (Comprehensive - Commercial
General Liability, including Contractual) insurance on which the D/BE
and the subcontractors will be insureds issued by an insurance company
satisfactory to the Authority, with current coverage limits of $2
million per occurrence, combined single limit for bodily injury and
property damage liability.
B. Policies of excess public liability insurance from various insurers,
with combined coverage limits of $23 million per occurrence, excess of
the primary $22 million insurance coverage.
C. A policy of workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance
fulfilling the D/BE's and the subcontractor's obligations under the
applicable State Workers' Compensation's Law for those employees of
the D/BE and the subcontractors employed pursuant to this Contract in
operations conducted at or from the site of the Work hereunder.
Coverage under this policy may, as appropriate, include one or more of
the following endorsements:
(1) Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act Coverage
Endorsement. (Applies when performing work on or around navigable
waters).
(2) Maritime Coverage Endorsement (Applies to masters or members of
the crews of vessels, if vessels are used).
(3) Federal Employer's Liability Act Coverage Endorsement.
(May apply to railroad related Work).
Determination in any instance as to the appropriateness of the included
coverage described in (1), (2) and (3) above will be made based upon information
to be provided by the D/BE relating to the mode of performance of Work to be
done under the Contract.
- 62 -
<PAGE>
The current policies described in A., B. and C. of this numbered Clause are
on file and available for examination in the office of the General Manager, Risk
Management, The Port Authority of NY and NJ, 241 Erie Street, Room 306, Jersey
City, New Jersey 07310-1397. These policies under A. and B. are subject to
certain liability coverage exclusions, which include, but are not limited to,
exclusions from liability from claims arising from pollution and exposure to
asbestos.
D. A policy of builder's risk insurance, covering the improvements, or
other Work to be effectuated by the D/BE and the subcontractors, with
coverage limits of $50 million per occurrence for all locations
combined (subject to a $50 million annual aggregate for flood and
earthquake damage and a limit of $10 million per occurrence for damage
to property in-transit). The deductible is $10,000 per occurrence for
all losses except those caused by flood and earthquake, and $50,000
per occurrence with respect to flood and earthquake. The policy form
contains various exclusions, including but not limited to the
following property exclusions: automobiles; aircraft; and
subcontractor's machinery, tools, and equipment and property of a
similar nature, including forms, shoring, scaffolding and similar
property, not intended to become a permanent part of a building or
structure. The D/BE and the subcontractors must refer to the policy
form to determine all properties and perils included and excluded and
to determine their rights and responsibilities as insureds under the
policy form. Coverage for the aforesaid builder's risk insurance has
been placed. Certain provisions of the proposed policy form with
respect to such coverage are under discussion. A copy of the proposed
policy form provided on behalf of the underwriters in connection with
such coverage (and, upon finalization, a copy of the actual policy
form) may be examined during normal business hours by the D/BE, or at
the D/BE's request, by any of the subcontractors performing Work for
the D/BE under this Contract, at the office of the General Manager,
Risk Management of the Port Authority. The D/BE and the subcontractors
are responsible for payment for all losses within the deductibles and
losses not covered by the builder's risk policies.
The D/BE and subcontractors shall comply with all obligations of the
insured under or in connection with all of the policies described in A. through
D. above.
The Authority shall have the right at any time and from time to time at its
option to procure insurance substituting in whole or in part for any or all of
the policies described in A. through D. above or to require that the D/BE and
the subcontractors themselves obtain insurance substituting in whole or part for
that above referred to, provided always, however, that the D/BE and the
subcontractors shall be afforded coverage as stipulated by the Authority and the
Authority shall either pay the premiums on such substitute insurance or
reimburse the D/BE and the subcontractors therefor.
- 63 -
<PAGE>
Neither the procurement of the above insurance or any substitute insurance
not the extent of the coverage or the limits of liability thereunder shall be
construed to be a limitation on the nature or extent of the D/BE's obligations,
or to relieve the D/BE of any such obligations, and the procurement of the above
insurance is only for the purpose of reducing the cost of the Contract without
constituting any representation by the Authority as to the adequacy of the
insurance or protect the D/BE against the obligations imposed on him by law
(except the applicable State Workers' Compensation Law) or by this or any other
Contract.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Clause, however, no subcontractor
shall be or have the right to be covered under the policies of insurance above
referred to until he has been expressly approved in writing by the Engineer, as
required under this Contract, and such approval may be withheld, among other
reasons, until execution by the subcontractor of agreements affirming his
obligations provided in this Clause with respect to the above insurance.
The provisions of this numbered Clause are not intended to create any
rights in the D/BE other than rights which may be available to him under said
policies themselves, whatever such rights may be. Moreover, the Authority makes
no representation or guaranty, either by the provisions of this numbered Clause
or otherwise, as to the effect of or the coverage under said policies, and no
employee or agent of the Authority is authorized to make any such representation
or guaranty, either by the provisions of this numbered Clause or otherwise, as
to the effect of or the coverage under said policies, and no employee or agent
of the Authority is authorized to make any such representation or guaranty or to
offer any interpretation of or information on said policies. The D/BE warrants
and represents that he has examined and is familiar with the above stated
coverages and that in submitting his Proposal he has relied solely on his own
interpretation thereof and not on any representations or statements, oral or
written, of the Authority, its Commissioners, officers, agents, employees,
consultants or contractors.
All negotiations and adjustments with any insurer concerning payment for
any loss, the risk of which is borne by the D/BE under this Contract, shall be
the responsibility of and shall be conducted by the D/BE unless the applicable
policy provides otherwise. The D/BE shall, however, inform the Engineer of the
progress of all such negotiations and notify him sufficiently in advance of all
meetings thereon so that he or his representatives may attend said negotiations
if they so desire.
The Authority shall be entitled to all returned premiums, dividends and
credits which may become payable at any time for any reason whatsoever in
connection with the aforementioned insurance. The D/BE hereby assigns to the
Authority all such returned premiums dividends and credits and the
subcontractors shall be deemed to have assigned to the Authority all such
returned premiums, dividends and credits by becoming subcontractors under this
Contract. The D/BE shall execute and cause the subcontractors to execute any
instrument necessary or convenient to evidence the Authority's right to such
returned premiums, dividends and credits.
- 64 -
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding any payment by the Authority of any insurance premiums, the
Authority shall not be deemed the employer of any employees hired by the D/BE or
any subcontractor covered by such insurance nor shall it be liable for any of
the obligations of such employer.
The D/BE and the subcontractors shall cooperate to the fullest extent with
the Authority in all matters relating to the aforementioned insurance and shall
comply with all requirements of all insurance policies procured by the
Authority. They shall also at their own expense furnish the Engineer or his duly
authorized representative with copies of all payroll, correspondence, papers,
records and other things necessary or convenient for dealing with or defending
against any claims and for procuring or administering the aforementioned
insurance including furnishing the name of any of their employees, officers, or
agents whose presence or testimony is necessary or convenient in any
negotiations or proceedings involving such insurance.

specific rights and remedies of the Authority shall not be deemed to limit any
other rights or remedies which the Authority would have in the absence of such
enumeration; and no exercise by the Authority of any right or remedy shall
operate as a waiver of any other of its rights or remedies not inconsistent
therewith or to stop it from exercising such other rights or remedies.

the Preliminary Design Criteria generated by the Authority, the D/BE
shall defend or settle, at its own expense, any claim or suit against
the Authority alleging that any D/BE products furnished under this

liabilities under this Contract or the Performance and Payment Bond, or other
security approved by the Authority.

which the Authority may be entitled because of any breach thereof, excepting
only a resolution of its Commissioners, providing expressly for such waiver. No
cancellation, rescission or annulment hereof, in whole or as to any part of the

termination or discharge of this Contract expressly provided for in this
Contract shall be effective as so provided.

The foregoing certification as to "(a)" through "(k)" shall be deemed to
have been made by the D/BE as follows: If the D/BE is a corporation, such
certification shall be deemed to have been made not only with respect to the
D/BE itself, but also with respect to each Engineer and officer, as well as, to
the best of the certifier's knowledge and belief, each stockholder with an
ownership interest in excess of 10%, if the D/BE is a partnership, such
certification shall be deemed to have been made not only with respect to the
D/BE itself, but also respect to each partner. Moreover, the foregoing
certification, if made by a corporate D/BE, shall be deemed to have been
authorized by the Board Of Engineers of the D/BE, and such authorization shall

D/BE shall so state and shall furnish with the signed Proposal a signed
statement which sets forth in detail the reasons therefor. If the D/BE is
uncertain as to whether it can make the foregoing certification, it shall so

this clause as requiring disclosure at the time that the Proposal is submitted,
the D/BE agrees to immediately notify the authority in writing of any change in
circumstances during the period of irrevocability, or any extension thereof.
The foregoing certification or signed statement shall be deemed to have
been made by the D/BE with full knowledge that it would become a part of the

accuracy in awarding this contract. In the event that the Authority determines
at any time prior or subsequent to the award of the contract that the D/BE has
falsely certified as to any material item in the foregoing certification;
willfully or fraudulently submitted any signed statement pursuant to this clause
which is false in any material respect; or has not completely and accurately
represented its status with respect to
- 79 -
<PAGE>
the circumstances provided for in this clause as requiring disclosure, the
Authority may determine that the D/BE is not responsible D/BE with respect to
its Proposal on this contract or with respect to future Proposals and may, in
addition to exercising any other rights or remedies available to it, exercise
any of the rights or remedies set forth in the Clause hereof entitled "Rights
And Remedies Of Authority". In addition, D/BE's are advises that knowingly
providing a false certification or statement pursuant hereto may be the basis
for prosecution for offering a false instrument for filing (see e.g., New York
Penal Law, Section 175.30 et seq.). are also advised that the inability to make
such certification will not in and of itself disqualify a D/BE, and that in each
instance the Authority will evaluate the reasons therefor provided by the D/BE.
As used in this clause, the following terms shall mean:
Affiliate - An entity in which the parent of the D/BE owns more than fifty
---------
percent of the voting stock, or an entity in which a group of principal owners

in effect between the submitting business and any other business or
not-for-profit organization that is sharing space with the submitting business.
- 80 -
<PAGE>
Staff Sharing - Staff shall be considered to be shared when any individual
-------------
provides the services of an employee, whether paid or unpaid, to the D/BE and
also, on either a regular or irregular basis, provides the services of an
employee, paid or unpaid, to one or more other business(es) and/or
not-for-profit organization(s), if such services are provided during any part of
the same hours the individual is providing services to the D/BE or if such
services are provided on an alternating or interchangeable basis between the
D/BE and the other business(es) or not-for-profit organization(s). "The
services of an employee" should be understood to include services of any type or
level, including managerial or supervisory. This type of sharing may include,

vehicles, and construction equipment. Equipment shall not be considered to be

into a formal lease for the use of the equipment and exercises exclusive use of
the equipment; or when the D/BE owns equipment that it has formally leased to
another business or not-for-profit organization, and for the duration of such
lease the D/BE has relinquished all right to the use of such leased equipment.
51. NON-COLLUSIVE BIDDING AND CODE OF ETHICS CERTIFICATION; CERTIFICATION OF NO
SOLICITATION BASED ON COMMISSION, PERCENTAGE, BROKERAGE, CONTINGENT FEE OR

the Clause of the Form of Contract entitled "No Gifts, Gratuities, Offers of

employee or former employee or immediate family member of either which would
constitute a breach of ethical standards under the Code of Ethics and Financial
Disclosure effective July 18, 1994 (a copy of which is available upon request
to the individual named in the clause hereof entitled "Questions by D/BE'S"),
nor does this organization have any knowledge of any act on the part of an
Authority employee or former
- 81 -
<PAGE>
Authority employee relating either directly or indirectly to this organization
which constitutes a breach of the ethical standards set forth in said code; and
(e) no person or selling agency, other than a bon fide employee or bona fide
established commercial or selling agency maintained by the D/BE for the purpose
of securing business, has been employed or retained by the D/BE to solicit or
secure this Contract on the understanding that a commission, percentage,
brokerage, contingent or other fee would be paid to such person or selling
agency.
The foregoing certification as to "(a)", "(b)", "(c)", "(d)" and "(e)"
shall be deemed to have been made by the D/BE as follows: if the D/BE is a
corporation, such certification shall be deemed to have been made not only with
respect to the D/BE itself, but also with respect to each parent, affiliate,
director and officer of the D/BE, as well as, to the best of the certifier's
knowledge and belief, each stockholder with an ownership interest in excess of
10%; if the D/BE is a partnership, such certification shall be deemed to have
been made not only with respect to the D/BE itself, but also with respect to
each partner. Moreover, the foregoing certification, if made by a corporate
D/BE, shall be deemed to have been authorized by the board of directors of the
D/BE, and such authorization shall be deemed to include the signing and
submission of the Proposal and the inclusion therein of such certification as
the act and deed of the corporation.
In any case where the D/BE cannot make the foregoing certification, the
D/BE shall so state and shall furnish with the signed Proposal a signed
statement which sets forth in detail the reasons therefor. If the D/BE is
uncertain as to whether it can make the foregoing certification, it shall so
indicate in a signed statement furnished with its Proposal, setting forth in
such statement the reasons for its uncertainty.
Notwithstanding that the D/BE may be able to make the foregoing
certification at the time the Proposal is submitted, the D/BE shall immediately
notify the Authority in writing during the period of irrevocability of Proposals
on this Contract or any extension of such period, of any change of circumstances
which might under this clause make its unable to make the foregoing
certification or required disclosure. The foregoing certification or signed
statement shall be deemed to have been made by the D/BE with full knowledge that
it would become a part of the records of the authority and that the Authority
will rely on its truth and accuracy in awarding this Contract. In the event that
the Authority should determine at any time prior or subsequent to the award of
this contract that the D/BE has falsely certified as to any material item in the
foregoing certification or has willfully or fraudulently furnished a signed
statement which is false in any material respect, or has not fully and
accurately represented any circumstance with respect to any item in the
foregoing certification required to be disclosed, the Authority may determine
that the D/BE is not a responsible D/BE with respect to its Proposal on this
contract or with respect to future Proposals on Authority contracts and may, in
addition to exercising any other rights or remedies it may have, exercise any
of the rights or remedies set forth in the Clause hereof entitled "Right And
Remedies Of The Authority".
- 82 -
<PAGE>
In addition, D/BEs are advised that knowingly providing a false
certification or statement pursuant hereto may be the basis for prosecution for
offering false instrument for filing (see e.g., New York Penal Law, Sections
175.30 et seq.) D/BEs are also advised that the inability to make such
certification will not in and of itself disqualify a D/BE, and that in each
instance the Authority will evaluate the reasons therefor provided by the D/BE.
52. D/BE ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARD OF CONTRACTS - DETERMINATIONS BY AN AGENCY OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR NEW JERSEY CONCERNING ELIGIBILITY TO RECEIVE
PUBLIC CONTRACTS.
D/BEs are advised that the Authority has adopted a policy to the effect
that in awarding its contracts it will honor any determination by an agency of
the State of New York or New Jersey that a D/BE is not eligible to make a
Proposal or be awarded public contracts because the D/BE has been determined to
have engaged in illegal or dishonest conduct or to have violated prevailing rate
of wage legislation.
The policy permits a D/BE whose ineligibility has been so determined by an
agency of the State of New York or New Jersey to submit a Proposal on a Port
Authority contract and then to establish that it is eligible to be awarded the
Contract on which it has Proposed because (i) the state agency determination
relied upon does not apply to the D/BE, or (ii) the state agency determination
relied upon was made without affording the D/BE the notice and hearing to which
the D/BE was entitled by the requirements of due process of law, or (iii) the
state agency determination was clearly erroneous or (iv) the state agency
determination relied upon was not based on a finding of conduct demonstrating a
lack of integrity or a violation of a prevailing rate of wage law.
The full text of the resolution adopting the policy may be found in the
Minutes of the Authority's Board of Commissioners meeting of September 9, 1993.

<PAGE>
4. PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BOND
If the Authority shall in its sole discretion so elect at the time of
accepting the D/BE's Proposal, the D/BE shall furnish a bond for the faithful
performance of all obligations imposed upon him by the Contract, for the base
period and extensions thereof, if any, and also for the payment of all lawful
claims of subcontractors, materialmen and workmen arising out of the performance
of the Contract. Such bond shall be in the form bound herewith entitled
"Performance And Payment Bond", shall be in a penal sum equal to the Lump Sum
and such bond shall be signed by one or more sureties* satisfactory to the
Authority. The bond may be executed on a separate copy of such form not
physically attached to this Contract booklet. In any case, both the form of bond
herewith and any unattached executed copy thereof shall form a part of this Form
of Contract as through herein set forth in full.
At any time after the opening of Proposals, the Authority may give notice
to one or more D/BE's to advise the Authority as to the names of their proposed
sureties. Within forty-eight hours thereafter each D/BE so notified shall so
advise the Authority. The giving of such notice to a D/BE shall not be construed
as an acceptance of his Proposal, and omission to give such notice shall not be
construed as an election by the Authority not to require a bond.
If the Authority elects to require the D/BE to furnish a bond, he deliver
such bond to the Authority of the PACs as required by the Reference Documents
and the sureties thereon shall be as proposed by him, provided, that if the
Authority has theretofore given notice to him that his proposed sureties or any
of them are not satisfactory, the bond shall be executed by other sureties
satisfactory to the Authority.
________________________________________________________________________________
* Sureties must be corporations (commonly known as "surety companies"),
authorized to do business as sureties in the state(s) in which the
construction site is located, whose names appear on the current list of the
Treasury Department of the United States in effect at the time of
submission of the Performance and Payment Bond to the Authority as
acceptable as sureties to the Treasury Department. In addition, the
aggregate underwriting limitations on any one risk as set forth in the
aforementioned list of the Treasury Department of the sureties shall equal
or exceed the penal sum of the Performance and Payment Bond.
-8-
<PAGE>
The Authority shall give notice to the D/BE within ten (10) days after
receipt of the Performance and Payment Bond as to whether or not such bond is
satisfactory.
In the event of a default by the D/BE in his obligation to furnish a
satisfactory bond within seven (7) days after he receives an acceptance of the
PACS, such default shall entitle the Authority in its discretion to terminate
this Contract at any time within forty-five (45) days after the acceptance of
the PACS, without any liability on the part of the Authority. Inasmuch as the
damages to the Authority resulting from a termination by it upon the failure of
the D/BE to furnish a satisfactory bond will include items whose accurate amount
will be difficult or impossible to compute, such damages shall be liquidated in
the sum of the following amounts;
(a) The excess, if any, of the Lump Sum in the Proposal finally accepted
over that in the Proposal of the D/BE; and
(b) The expense of such new advertisement of the Contract, if any, as
may be deemed necessary by the Authority; and
(c) The sum of $500. for each day after the receipt by the D/BE of the
acceptance of his Proposal that the performance of the Contract is
not commenced by reason of the failure of the D/BE to furnish the
required bond.
If the D/BE furnishes a bond in accordance with the requirements of the
Authority under this numbered clause, the Authority shall reimburse the D/BE for
the net amount actually paid by him to the surety or sureties as the premium on
such bond. The D/BE shall deliver to the Engineer receipts from surety or
sureties evidencing such payment and the amount thereof. Within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of such evidence satisfactory to the Engineer, the Authority
shall pay to the D/BE by check the amount provided in this numbered clause.
If at any time the Authority shall be or become dissatisfied with any
surety or sureties then upon any bond furnished in accordance with the
requirements of the Authority, or if for any other reason such bond shall cease
to be adequate security to the Authority, the D/BE shall, within five (5) days
after notice from the Authority so to do, substitute a new bond in such form and
sum and signed by such other sureties as may be necessary in the opinion of the
Authority to constitute adequate security.

CHAPTER II
ADJUSTMENTS AND PAYMENTS
5. ADJUSTMENTS OF LUMP SUM
If any Work required by the Contract Drawings and Specifications in their
present form shall be countermanded or reduced, the Engineer shall have full
authority on behalf of both parties to make such reduction in the Lump Sum as he
may in his sole discretion deem equitable and reasonable, and in making such
reduction, no allowance to the D/BE shall be made for anticipated profits.
The Director shall have full authority to agree in writing with the D/BE
for reductions in the Lump Sum in lieu of those for which provision is
heretofore made in this numbered clause.
Prices for the maintenance services charged by the D/BE shall be defined in
terms of a Monthly Maintenance Cost (MMC) for all items listed in Exhibit A. The
MMC shall constitute full compensation to the D/BE for all services rendered
under this Contract, except for those services this Contract specifically
excludes from coverage under the MMC, as described in the Section entitled
"Extra Work" elsewhere herein. The MMC shall be one thirty-sixth of the Lump Sum
agreed upon in the clause of the Contract entitled "General Agreement".
It is the intent of the Authority that the items listed in Exhibit A be as
inclusive as possible of items for which maintenance services may be purchased
under this Contract. However, it is not possible to determine in advance all the
Authority's future needs, nor to define equipment not yet purchased by the
Authority, that may become available, to the Authority during the life of this
Contract. The omission of an item from the listing shall in no way limit the
Authority's ability to order maintenance service for such item from the D/BE,
insofar as maintenance service is available from the D/BE at the time such order
is placed by the Authority. From time to time during the term of this Contract
the Authority may modify the list of items noted in Exhibit A upon thirty (30)
days written notice to the D/BE. Nothing in this provision, shall however,
permit the D/BE to increase the prices charged to the Authority, nor to remove
items from maintenance coverage under the terms of this Contract during the life
of this Contract and its renewal periods except as provided in this Contract.
Items added to coverage under this Contract shall be documented by the D/BE in
lists which shall supplement Exhibit A.
6. COMPENSATION FOR EXTRA WORK
The Director shall have authority to agree in writing with the D/BE on
behalf of the Authority upon lump sum or other compensation for Extra Work in
lieu of the compensation for which provision is hereinafter made in this
numbered clause.
- 10 -
<PAGE>
If such agreement on compensation is not made and Extra Work be performed,
the D/BE's compensation shall be increased by the following amounts and such
amounts only:
(a) In the case of Extra Work performed by the D/BE personally, an
amount equal to the actual net cost in money of the labor and materials required
for such Extra Work, plus fifteen (15) percent of such net cost, plus such
rental for equipment (other than small tools expendables and equipment normally
used for maintenance work) required for such Extra Work as the Engineer deems
reasonable.
(b) In the case of Extra Work performed by a subcontractor, an amount
equal to the actual net cost in money of the labor and materials required for
such Extra work, plus fifteen (15) percent of such net cost plus such rental for
equipment (other than small tools) required for such Extra Work as the Engineer
deems reasonable, plus five (5) percent of the sum of the foregoing cost,
percentage of cost, and rental.
As used in this numbered clause (and in this Clause only):
"Labor" means foremen, surveyors, laborers, mechanics and other employees
below the rank of superintendent, exclusive of timekeepers, directly employed at
the maintenance site whether employed by the D/BE or by the subcontractors,
subject to the Engineer's authority to determine what employees of any category
are "required for Extra Work" and as to the portion of their time allotted to
Extra Work; and "cost of labor" means the wages actually paid to and received by
such employees plus a proper proportion of (a) vacation allowance and union dues
and assessments which the employer actually pays pursuant to contractual
obligations upon the basis of such wages, and (b) taxes actually paid by the
employer pursuant to law upon the basis of such wages. "Employees" as used above
means only the employees of one employer.
"Materials" means temporary and consumable materials as well as permanent
materials: and "cost of materials" means the price (including taxes actually
paid by the D/BE pursuant to law upon the basis of such materials) for which
such materials are sold for cash by the manufacturers or producers thereof, or
by regular dealers therein, whether or not such materials are purchased directly
from the manufacturer, producer or dealer (or if the D/BE is the manufacturer or
producer thereof, the reasonable cost to the D/BE of the manufacture and
production), plus the reasonable cost of delivering such materials to the
maintenance site in the event that the price paid to the manufacturer, producer
or dealer does not include delivery and in case of temporary materials, less
their salvage value, if any.
"Work day" in reference to an item of equipment means a day other than a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday except that if the particular item of
equipment is actually utilized at the Maintenance site by the D/BE or
subcontractors under this or any other Contract with the Authority on a
Saturday, Sunday or New York State legal holiday, said day shall be deemed a
work day.
- 11 -
<PAGE>
The rental for equipment, whether owned by the D/BE or subcontractors or
rented from others and notwithstanding the actual price of any rental or actual
costs associated with such equipment, shall be computed by the Engineer on the
basis of the following:
(1) (a) Hourly rental for those items of equipment listed in the "Rental
Rate Blue Book" (published by Dataquest, a company of The Dun and
Bradstreet Corporation, 1290 Ridder Park Drive, San Jose, California
95131-2398), (hereinafter called "The Blue Book") shall be 100% of
the applicable rates as listed in said book, reduced to an hourly
basis (see formula below). The edition of this publication to be
used shall be the one in effect on the date of the actual rental of
the equipment. The "Estimated Operating Cost per Hour" as set forth
for such item of equipment in the Blue Book shall be added to the
hourly rental for each hour that such equipment is actually engaged
in performing Extra Work. No amount for operating cost will be
allowed during periods when such equipment is not actually engaged
in performing Extra Work (i.e. standby rental time). None of the
provisions of the Blue Book shall be deemed referred to or included
in this Contract except as specifically set forth in this Section.
(b) If no listing of rental rate and/or hourly operating cost for the
item of equipment is in the Blue Book, the Engineer shall determine
the reasonable rate of rental and/or hourly operating cost of the
particular item of equipment by such other means as he finds
appropriate.
(2) When utilizing the rental rates appearing in the Blue Book, the
Engineer shall determine the applicable rate and the hourly rental
determined therefrom by applying the following criteria:
(a) The rate to be applied for an item of equipment used on a particular
Extra Work order shall be the daily, weekly or monthly rates from
the foregoing publication based on the total number of work days or
portions thereof that a particular item of equipment or substitute
item of equipment is at the construction site for use by the D/BE or
subcontractors whether under this Contractor or any other contract
with the Authority. Included within this period will be (i) work
days of idleness of the equipment at the construction site whether
such idleness results from acts or omissions of the D/BE, Authority
or third persons, breakdowns in the equipment or any other cause,
(ii) work days on which the equipment is removed from the
construction site solely to enable the performance of repairs
thereon, and (iii) work days intervening between the removal of
equipment from the construction site for repairs and the delivery to
the construction site of the same or substitute equipment. The
number of work days in the period for each rate shall be an
indicated below:
-12-
<PAGE>
Three work days or less - daily rate
More than three work days but
not more than fifteen work days - weekly rate
More than fifteen work days - monthly rate
The pro rata portion which one hour bears to the applicable rate shall be
determined in accordance with the following formula:
Hourly rate based on 1/8 of daily rental
daily rental from Blue Book
Hourly rate based on 1/40 of weekly rental
weekly rental from Blue Book
Hourly rate based on 1/176 of monthly rental
monthly rental from Blue Book
(b) The rental rate shall be multiplied by the applicable regional
adjustment factor shown for such item of equipment in the Blue Book.
The adjustment factor shall not apply to the hourly operating cost.
(c) If the Engineer should determine that the nature or size of the
equipment used by the D/BE in connection with Extra Work is larger or
more elaborate, as the case may be, than the size or nature of the
minimum equipment determined by the Engineer to be suitable for the
Extra Work, the reasonable rental will not be based upon the equipment
used by the D/BE but will be based on the smallest or least elaborate
equipment determined by the Engineer to have been suitable for the
performance of the Extra Work.
(3) In the case of equipment utilized only for Extra Work: (a) in addition
to amounts determined as provided in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above,
there will be added to the rental as computed above the reasonable
cost of transporting such equipment to and from the construction site,
and (b) notwithstanding the number of hours during which such
equipment is utilized, the minimum rental therefor will be for a
period of eight hours.
In computing the D/BE's compensation insofar as it is based upon Extra
Work, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary appearing in the Blue
Book, no consideration shall be given to any items of cost or expense not
expressly set forth above, it being expressly agreed that the costs and
percentage additions hereinbefore provided cover items of cost and expense to
the D/BE of any type whatsoever, including administration, overhead, taxes
(other than those enumerated above), cleanup, consumables including gas and oil,
drafting (including printing or other reproduction), coordination, field
measurements, maintenance, repairs, insurance, profit to the D/BE and small
tools.
- 13 -
<PAGE>
Whenever any Extra Work is performed (whether by the D/BE directly or
through a subcontractor), the D/BE shall, at the end of each day, submit to the
Engineer (a) daily time slips showing the name and number of each workman
employed on such Work, the number of hours which he is employed thereon, the
character of his duties, and the wages to be paid to him, as indicated in
Exhibit B, (b) a memorandum showing the state and federal taxes based on such
wages, and vacation allowances and union dues and assessments which the employer
actually pays pursuant to contractual obligation upon the basis of such wages
(c) a memorandum showing the amount and character of the materials furnished for
such Work, from whom they were purchased and the amount to be paid therefor, and
(d) a memorandum of equipment used in the performance of such Work, together
with the rental claimed therefor. Such memoranda and time slips are for the
purpose of enabling the Engineer to determine the amounts to be paid by the
Authority under this numbered clause; and accordingly, they shall constitute a
condition precedent to such payment and the failure of the D/BE to furnish them
with respect to any Work shall constitute a conclusive and binding determination
on his part that such Work is not Extra Work and shall constitute a waiver by
the D/BE of claims for payment for such Work. In the event that the Director and
the D/BE shall agree in writing upon a lump sum or other compensation for Extra
Work in lieu of compensation as provided in the second paragraph of this clause,
the daily time slips and memoranda required by this paragraph shall not be
required subsequent to the date on which such agreement has been reached.
7. MONTHLY ADVANCES
On or about the first day of each month, the Engineer shall (upon receipt
from the D/BE of such information as he may require, including a certification
in writing, in such form as may be required pursuant to the clause hereunder
entitled "Prevailing Rate Of Wage", that he has paid and caused his
subcontractors to pay at least the prevailing rate of wage and supplements
required by such clause and a written statement indicating the names and amounts
paid during the preceding month or months to subcontractors and materialmen)
certify to the Authority the approximate amount of Work performed and
compensation earned by the D/BE up to that time showing separately:
(a) The amount of Work (other than Extra Work) performed by the D/BE up to
that time and a sum equal to the MMC. For maintenance and repair services, said
written statement shall include system, model and serial number of equipment
maintained for the Authority.
(b) The increase, if any, in the D/BE's compensation for which provision
is specifically made elsewhere in this Contract.
(c) The amount of Extra Work, the statement shall include a description of
the service performed, the location(s) where the service was performed, the Lump
Sum agreed upon or the total hours per task, the appropriate labor charge
hourly rate (see Exhibit B), the price of materials for the Extra Work, a
listing of equipment on which the service was performed (as listed in Exhibit
A), and the total amount due the D/BE.
- 14 -
<PAGE>
Payment for services rendered shall be made within thirty (30) days after
certification of the amount due by the Engineer or his designee.
Service charges for equipment added to the original list on Exhibit A shall
be billed for the month in which such additions were made. Monthly charges for
servicing such additional equipment shall be prorated for the month in which the
equipment was added, from the installation date of such equipment.
A copy of the signed and verified Extra Work order(s), bearing the
Authority's Contract number, must accompany each invoice, if service credits
were assessed, the amount shall be deducted from the invoice total.
The Engineer or his designee shall have the authority to decide all
questions pertaining to the above-mentioned invoice. No certificate, payment,
acceptance of any work or any other act or omission of any Director or Assistant
Director or the Authority shall operate to release the D/BE from any obligation
under or upon this Contract, or to stop the Authority from showing at any time
that such certificate, payment, acceptance, act or omission was incorrect or to
preclude the Authority from recovering any monies paid in excess of those
lawfully due and any damage sustained by the Authority. Acceptance of Final
Payment under this Contract by the D/BE shall constitute a full and complete
release of the Authority with regard to all matters arising under or in
connection with this Contract.
Any assignment or other transfer of this Contract or any monies due or to
become due hereunder without the written consent of the Authority shall be void
and of no effect as to the Authority, except that Work may be sublet to such
persons as the Director expressly approved in writing. No subcontract shall
create any rights against the Authority or relieve the D/BE of any obligations,
and all subcontractors shall be deemed the D/BE's agents.
It is hereby specifically understood and agreed that this Contract is one
entire indivisible agreement for the performance of all the services required
hereunder and the accomplishment of the results intended and is not separable or
divisible, despite the monthly payment provided for hereunder. The D/BE's full
and complete compensation for such services is the Monthly price quoted on the
Proposal sheet, except where this contract expressly provided for additional
payment.
Within seven days of receipt of any sum attributable to Work performed by a
subcontractor or materialman or within such later period as is provided in the
subcontract or purchase agreement, the D/BE shall advance to the subcontractor
or materialman said sum, less such amount, if any, as the D/BE is authorized to
retain under the subcontract or purchase agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, the Authority shall have the right, at its sole
discretion, to directly pay the subcontractors and material suppliers who
perform Work for or furnish materials to the D/BE in connection with the Work
of this Contract.
- 15 -
<PAGE>
Prior to certifying any amount for payment hereunder, the Engineer may
require that the D/BE submit a certification accurately and fully setting forth
the the total amount due and payable to each subcontractor and supplier for Work
performed or materials provided by such subcontractor or supplier in connection
with the Work of this Contract. Any payment made by the Authority to a
subcontractor or supplier pursuant to the provisions of this numbered clause
shall be made in reliance upon such certification and all such payments shall be
considered as advances to the D/BE of the compensation payable hereunder. No
such payment shall relieve the D/BE of any of its obligations hereunder.
Furthermore, within fifteen (15) days of the D/BE's receipt of the
Authority's acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal, the D/BE shall submit to the
Engineer a listing of all subcontract and material supply agreements entered
into by the D/BE for the performance of Work required by this Contract. Such
listing shall include the names and addresses of each subcontractor and supplier
and the amounts payable under each such agreement. As and when any modifications
are made to such agreements or any additional subcontracts or supply agreements
are entered into, the D/BE shall inform the Engineer of such and shall indicate
the amounts payable hereunder.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any additional rights in
such subcontractors or suppliers or to alter the rights of the Authority as such
are set forth in the clause hereof entitled "Withholding of Payments".
Orders for equipment maintenance service issued by the Authority shall
identify the items to be place under maintenance; including model number,
quantity, serial number(s), original equipment manufacturer, location
description, unit description and MMC, corresponding to that appearing in
Exhibit A and date service is to commence, any originating Port Authority
Department and Unit, and any other information as required.
8. ESCALATION
Upon each renewal of this Contract by the Authority, and commencing on the
fourth anniversary or seventh anniversary, as the case may be, of the base date,
the maintenance cost per month shall be the amount inserted in the box entitled,
"Total Maintenance Cost per Month for Years 2 & 3" in Exhibit C herein adjusted
as described below:
A. Date of Adjustment
Adjustment of unit prices shall be computed by the D/BE prior to the
third anniversary or sixth anniversary, as the case may be, of the effective
base date, as hereinafter provide, and shall be effective for three years
beginning on such third anniversary or sixth anniversary, as the case may be, of
the effective base date. The D/BE shall submit to the Authority such price
adjustment computations, including the changes in the "Consumer Price Index",
within the time limits indicated in the Clause of the Form Contract, entitled
"Time for Completion and Damages for Delay".
- 16 -
<PAGE>
B. Effective Indices and Dates
The indices and dates for the adjustment of the prices shall be as
follows:

Jersey, Long Island (NY-NJ-Ct) published by the U.S. Department of
Labor Statistics. Hereinafter called "The Consumer Price Index".
"The Consumer Price Index" in effect March 1, 1996 "The Consumer Price
Index" in effect March 1, 1998 "The Consumer Price Index" in effect
March 1, 2001.
C. Formula for adjustment
The prices shall be adjusted as follows:
The original lump sum maintenance cost per month inserted by the D/BE
in the Contract shall be increased or decreased by the percentage of
increase or decrease shown by the "Consumer Price Index" in effect on
March 1, 1998 or March 1, 2001 as the case may be, as compared with the
Index on March 1, 1996.
D. In the event of a change of the basis for computation of the
above-mentioned Index or discontinuance of its publications, such other
appropriate index shall be substituted as may be agreed upon by the
Authority and the D/BE as properly effecting changes in the value of
the cost of maintenance similar to that established in the
above-mentioned index. If the parties cannot agree upon a substitute
index, the amounts applicable to the prior year shall remain in effect.

CHAPTER III
PROVISIONS RELATING TO TIME
9. TIME FOR COMPLETION AND DAMAGES FOR DELAY
A. This contract shall commence on the base date (said time and date
hereinafter sometimes called "the effective date" or "the commencement
date") and shall continue for a period to three (3) years from that
date, unless sooner terminated or revoked, or renewed, as hereinafter
provided.
The Authority shall have the right to extend this Contract for two
additional three (3) year period from the original expiration date
herein, each three-year extension based upon the same terms and
conditions subject to the following: not later than one hundred twenty
(120) days prior to the expiration date of this Contract, the Authority
shall send a notice of intention to extend the term of the Contract;
after the Authority has sent such notice, and at least ninety (90) days
prior to the expiration of the Contract, the Authority or D/BE
hereunder for the extension period, in accordance with the Clause
herein entitled "Escalation".
B. If a Performance And Payment Bond is required, the D/BE shall not
commence the performance of the Work, until the date of receipt by him
of notice from the Authority that the Performance And Payment Bond
furnished by him is satisfactory.
The time for completion shall not be extended on account of the time
required to furnish the bond referred to above, but the Authority shall
give notice to the D/BE within ten (10) days after receipt of the
Performance And Payment Bond as to whether or not such bond is
satisfactory.
C. The D/BE's shall perform all Extra Work ordered in accordance with the
provisions of this Contract as expeditiously as possible. Such orders
may be issued at any time up to and including 90 days after completion
of all other Work required by the Specifications in their present form.
D. The D/BE's attention is directed to the fact that it may be necessary
to pay overtime wages and/or to employ a larger work force than normal
in order to provide the performance required by this paragraph. In such
event, the D/BE shall not be entitled to any additional compensation by
reason thereof.
- 18 -
<PAGE>
The D/BE guaranties the operational availability of the PACS at the
percentages specified below for each calendar month of the maintenance
period. For the purposes of this Section, operational availability is
defined as "the time the System and Network is available to users to do
useful work". The percentages of Operational Availability are:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Center Computer 99.90%
Local Controllers 99.50%
All Other Equipment 99.00%
</TABLE>
In the event the Operational Availability falls below the specified limits,
damages will be liquidated against the D/E in the amounts specified later
in this Section but not to exceed the total monthly charges. Such damages
shall be for each hour or part thereof during which the component is
unavailable and shall be applied to the aggregate monthly performance of
the group of units specified in the above table.
The central computer system shall be considered to be unavailable if at
anytime during the twenty-four (24) hour daily period, the central
processing unit (CPU), the keyboard, the alternate input device, the disk
drive(s), or any of the other computer components fail to function and/or
perform according to specifications, and if the back-up computer, cannot be
brought on-line within fifteen (15) minutes of said failure.
Other elements of the system such as vehicle loop detectors, parking
barrier gate (complete, card/reader sensors, entry and/or exit lane
intercoms are to be considered as unavailable if they do not meet basic
availability factor on a per lane or per lot basis (99.00%). For purposes
of computing time of unavailability, the time shall start thirty (30)
minutes after the arrival of the D/BE on-site but never more than two hours
after notification by the Authority by phone. This will be considered a
grace period. The D/BE will be allowed two grace periods per month.
E. The D/BE's obligations for the performance and completion of the work in
order to provided the performance levels required in this Contract are of
the essence of this Contract. The D/BE guarantees that he can and will
maintain the performance of the PACS within the levels hereinbefore
stipulated.

Hourly invoice deduction amounts to be credited to the monthly invoice
for failure to meet performance and availability requirements are:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Central Computer (PPM) $300
Central Computer (Non-PPM) 150
Local Controller (PPM) 80
Local Controller (Non-PPM) 40
Other (PPM) 40

</TABLE>
10. EXTENSIONS OF TIME
The time above provided for completion of any part of the Contract shall be
extended (subject, however, to the provisions of this numbered Clause) only if
in the opinion of the Engineer, the D/BE is necessarily delayed in completing
such part by such time solely and directly by a cause which meets all the
following conditions:
1: Such cause is beyond the D/BE's control and arises without his fault;
2. Such cause comes into existence after the opening of Proposals on this
Contract and neither was nor could have been anticipated by
investigation before such opening.
3. In all cases when the D/BE is called for service the following
response times will apply:
a. For service calls placed within the PPM, the D/BE shall provide
an on-site response time not to exceed a maximum of two (2) hours
from the time of telephone notification by the Authority to the
D/BE.
b. For service calls placed outside the PPM, the D/BE shall respond
on-site within twenty-four hours or within the first two (2)
hours of the PPM if the next day falls in the PPM whichever is
less.
Variations in temperature and precipitation shall be conclusively deemed to
have been anticipated before opening of such Proposals on this Contract.
- 20 -
<PAGE>
In any event, even though a cause of delay meets all the above conditions,
an extension shall be granted only to the extent that (i) the performance
of the work is actually and necessarily delayed and (ii) the effect of such
cause cannot be anticipated and avoided or mitigated by the exercise of all
reasonable precautions, efforts and measures (including planning, scheduling and
rescheduling), whether before or after the occurrence of the cause of delay, and
an extension shall not be granted for a cause of delay which would not have
affected the performance of the Contract were it not for the fault of the D/BE
or for other delay for which the D/BE is not entitled to an extension of time.
Any reference herein to the D/BE shall be deemed to include subcontractors
and materialmen, whether or not in privity of contract with the D/BE, and
employees and others performing any part of the Contract and all the foregoing
shall be considered as Agents of the D/BE.
The period of any extension of time shall be that necessary to make up the
time actually lost, subject to the provisions of this numbered clause, and shall
be only for the portion of the Contract actually delayed. The Engineer may defer
all or part of his decision on an extension and any extension of time may be
deferred, rescinded or shortened if it subsequently is found that the delays can
be overcome or reduced by the exercise of reasonable precautions, efforts and
measures.
As a condition precedent to an extension of time, the D/BE shall give
written notice to the Engineer within 48 hours after the time when he knows or
should know of any cause which might under any circumstances result in delay for
which he claims or may claim an extension of time (including those causes which
the Authority is responsible for or has knowledge of), specifically stating that
an extension is or may be claimed, identifying such cause and describing, as
fully as practicable at the time, the nature and expected duration of the delay
and its effect on the various portions of the Contract. Since the possible
necessity for an extension of time may materially alter the scheduling, plans
and other actions of the Authority, and since, with sufficient opportunity, the
Authority might if it so elects attempt to mitigate the effect of a delay for
which an extension of time might be claimed, and since merely oral notice may
cause disputes as to the existence or substance thereof, the giving of written
notice as above required shall be of the essence of the D/BE's obligations and
failure of the D/BE to give written notice as above required shall be a
conclusive waiver of an extension of time.
It shall in all cause be presumed that no extension or further extension of
time is due unless the D/BE shall affirmatively demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the Engineer acting personally that it is. To this end, the D/BE shall
maintain adequate records supporting any claim for an extension of time, and in
the absence of such records, the foregoing presumption shall be deemed
conclusive.
- 21 -
<PAGE>
11. EXTRA WORK ORDERS
No Extra Work shall be performed expect pursuant to written orders of the
Director expressly and unmistakably indicating his intention to treat the Work
described therein as Extra Work; and, exclusive of Extra Work expressly
authorized by or pursuant to a resolution of the Commissioners of the Authority
or its Committee on Maintenance, the Director shall have authority to order any
item of Extra Work, if the cost thereof to the Authority together with the cost
of all other Extra Work previously ordered and not expressly authorized as
aforesaid will not be in the aggregate in excess of the sum specified in the
letter of acceptance of the D/BE's Proposal as the limit on such authority to
order Extra Work; provided, however, that Extra Work in excess of such aggregate
amount may be ordered by the Director as above provided to the extent expressly
authorized in a writing signed by the Executive Director of the Authority
delegating authority vested in him pursuant to a resolution of the Commissioners
of the Authority or its Committee on Maintenance.
In the absence of such an order signed by the Director, if the Engineer
shall direct, order or require any Work, whether orally or in writing, which the
D/BE deems to be Extra Work, the D/BE shall nevertheless comply therewith, but
shall within twenty-four hours give written notice thereof to the Director and
the Engineer, stating why he deems it to be Extra Work, and shall moreover
furnish to the Engineer time slips and memoranda as required by the clause
hereof entitled "Compensation For Extra Work". Said notice, time slips and
memoranda are for the purpose of affording to the Director an opportunity to
verify the D/BE's claim at the time and (if he desires so to do) to cancel
promptly such order, direction or requirement of the Engineer, of affording to
the Engineer an opportunity of keeping an accurate record of the materials,
labor and other items involved, and generally of affording to the Authority an
opportunity to take such action as it may deem desirable in light of the D/BE's
claims. Accordingly, the failure of the D/BE to serve such notice or to furnish
such time slips and memoranda shall be deemed to be a conclusive and binding
determination on his part that the direction order or requirement of the
Engineer does not involve the performance of Extra Work, and shall be deemed to
be a waiver by the D/BE of all claims for additional compensation or damages by
reason thereof, such written notice, time slips and memoranda being a condition
precedent to such claims.
It shall be presumed that all services are covered by the MMC unless the
D/BE demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, that the services
performed fall within the definition of Extra Work, as contained herein.
In determining the amount of Extra Work, there shall not be included any
portion of the cost of repairs, replacements, or installation that represents
the routine wear and tear which would in any event require repair or replacement
of equipment as part of the D/BE's maintenance obligations.
- 22 -
<PAGE>
Maintenance services provided by the D/BE which will qualify as Extra Work
include repair of damage resulting from: a) Authority-caused accidents, neglect
or improper use or abuse of the System; b) the improper use of, or faulty,
removable storage media or supplies; c) the Authority's failure to provide an
installation environment including, but not limited to, the failure to provide,
or the failure, of adequate electrical power, air conditioning, or humidity
controls; d) subsequent unauthorized alterations to the System made by Authority
personnel which deviates from the D/BE's original mechanical or electrical
designs; e) subsequent unauthorized attachments to the System or equipment and
devices not originally supplied by the D/BE, and, f) acts of God, fire, flood,
lighting, labor disputes, warfare, vandalism, and terrorism.
Supplies and transmission media supplied by the D/BE, replacement of
removable magnetic tapes, disk packs, and other supplies such as printer ribbons
and toner cartridges, as well as the refinishing and repair of System
furniture if requested by the Authority will be Extra Work.
The D/BE shall provide the following services to aid equipment moves as
Extra Work when requested by the Engineer, for any equipment covered by this
Contract. Such services shall consist of disconnecting the equipment and
providing advice and technical information concerning the proper packing,
movement, and relocation of the equipment. D/BE personnel if requested shall
perform the physical movements and any transport of the equipment as directed by
the Engineer and provide advice and technical information concerning unpacking
and installing the equipment, re-connect the equipment and perform required
diagnostic tests and adjustments to establish and assure full System operation.
Additional site preparation activities for the equipment moved shall be
provided by the D/BE in the same manner and according to the shop drawings
provided by the D/BE and approved by the Authority when the equipment was
originally installed.
12. PERFORMANCE OF EXTRA WORK
The provisions of this Form of Contract relating generally to Work and its
performance shall apply without exception to any Extra Work required and to the
performance thereof. Moreover, the provisions of the Specifications relating
generally to the Work and its performance shall also apply to any Extra Work
required and to the performance thereof, except to the extent that a written
order in connection with any particular item of Extra Work may expressly provide
otherwise.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY
The Confidentiality Agreement must be fully executed in the form appended
herewith (Attachment A) signed by a person authorized to bind your organization.

Exhibit 10.7
Agreement for Purchase and Sale of the Bank
Automation Division of ENSEC ENGENHARIA E
SISTEMAS DE SEGURANCA S.A. and other
covenants made by and between DE LA RUE
INVESTIMENTOS LTDA. and ENSEC
ENGENHARIA E SISTEMAS DE SEGURANCA S.A.
--------------------------------------------
DE LA RUE INVESTIMENOS LTDA., a company established in the city of Rio de
Janeiro, State of Rio de Janiero at Av. Rio Branco, 99 - 15th floor, Federal Tax
No. 43.647.866/0001-00, herein represented by Its Manager Lourdes Helena Moreira
de Carvalho, hereinafter referred to as "DE LA RUE" and ENSEC ENGENHARIA E
SISTEMAS DE SEGURANCA S.A., herein represented by Its Director President Charles
Nelson Finkel, hereinafter referred to as "ENSEC",; WHEREAS ENSEC engages in
various activities including the manufacture and sale of security equipment and
systems and the exclusive representation in Brazil of the bank automation
equipment sold by De La Rue Sistemas Latin American (DLRSLA), also for providing
technical assistance to customers;
WHEREAS DE LA RUE is the holder of 44.7% of the share capital of ENSEC:
WHEREAS ENSEC is no longer interested in continuing with the activities related
to bank automation;
WHEREAS, DE AL RUE in its turn, is interested in as carrying out such activities
independently of ENSEC, the PARTIES (DE LA RUE and ENSEC) have decided upon the
following:
-1-
<PAGE>
1. OBJECT OF THE AGREEMENT
-----------------------
1.1 DE LA RUE hereby buys from ENSEC and ENSEC sells to DE LA RUE,
all the equipment and business relating to the bank automation activity,
meaning:
(i) the sale of all equipment and equipment parts listed in Exhibit
I, which is incorporated to this Agreement.
(ii) The assignment of ENSEC's rights resulting from the Distribution
Contract signed with DE La Rue Systems Latin America on 1 September,
1994 (Exhibit III).
(iii) The assignment, as specified hereinbelow, of all contracts ENSEC
has with customers established in Brazil, referring to the activity
being negotiated, whether relating to the sale, installation and
maintenance of equipment, or relating to the providing of technical
assistance. Such contracts are listed in Exhibit II to this Agreement
and this clause refers specifically as much to them as to any other
negotiations in progress between ENSEC and any potential customer and
which may be confirmed in the future.
2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF EQUIPMENT AND PARTS
---------------------------------------
2.1 The sale and transfer from ENSEC to DE LA RUE of the equipment
mentioned in Item 1 (i) and listed in Exhibit I, at present part of the
assets of ENSEC, shall be effective as soon
-2-
<PAGE>
as DE LA RUE has established itself in the State of Sao Paulo, ENSEC
undertakes to keep such equipment in its assets and to take care of it as
if it were its owner, until the sale is completed.
2.2 - ENSEC states that it has the full ownership and possession of such
equipment and parts; that such ownership and possession is not subject to
any judicial or nonjudicial claim or lawsuit; that such assets are all that
it actually has in connection with the Bank Automation business and that,
with such assets, De La Rue will be able to continue to operate the said
business, without any break in continuity; that it will carry out the
transfer of the said assets to De La Rue respecting all legal rules
applicable to the transaction, including those of a taxation nature,
undertaking to indemnify De La Rue as explained in Article 5 for any loss
resulting from any claim, lawsuit or proceeding which might arise due to
the nonperformance of any of these representations and warranties.
2.3 The Parties agree that the actual transfer of the equipment and parts
will take place within not more than forty-five (45) days.
3. CONTRACTS
---------
3.1 The assignment of rights of ENSEC under the Distribution Contract
signed with DLRSLA has been effectively
-3-
<PAGE>
completed, as per the instrument in Exhibit IV to this Agreement.
3.2 Similarly, all rights of ENSEC under the contracts listed in Exhibit
II have also been transferred to DE LA RUE. Notwithstanding this,
considering that DE LA RUE will have to take steps of a bureaucratic nature
until it is actually installed in Seo Paulo and that the natural agreements
with the different customers will be necessary until the transfer has been
formally effected, the Parties agree that ENSEC will until then continue
attending such contracts normally under the technical supervision of DE LA
RUE, although it is hereby established that payments made thereto as a
result of such contracts, with effect from the date on which this agreement
is signed, shall be effectively due to DE LA RUE and shall be transferred
to DE LA RUE in full, exclusively deducting contributions to the PIS
(Social Development Plan) and to the COFINS (Social Contribution on
Billings), and ISS (Municipal Service Tax) which transfer shall be made
against payment by ENSEC to DE LA RUE of fees for the technical assistance
services that DE LA RUE will provide to ENSEC.
The parties estimate that the formal transfer of all the contracts
mentioned in Exhibit II will take place within ninety (90) days with effect
from the signing of this Agreement. ENSEC undertakes to make its utmost
effort to see that this time limit is respected.
-4-
<PAGE>
4. PAYMENT
-------
4.1 The price to be paid by DE LA RUE for the acquisition from ENSEC of
the bank automation business, including equipment and parts, the
contract with DLRSLA and all the prevailing and prospective contracts
with Brazilian customers shall be R$ 5.964.959,00 (five million nine
hundred and sixty-four thousand nine hundred fifty nine reals) and shall
be paid as explained hereinbelow:
- R$ 1.762.480,00 (one million seven hundred and sixty-two thousand four
hundred eighty reais) in cash and against signing of this Agreement;
- R$ 3.235.600,00 (three million two hundred and thirty five thousand
six hundred reals) for the accord and satisfaction to ENSEC of the
shareholding interest of DE LA RUE in its share capital, this amount
being considered according to its corresponding figure in the balance
sheet prepared by the purchaser on October 31, 1995, which will also
take place against the signing of this Agreement;
- R$ 968.879,00 (nine hundred sixty-six thousand eight hundred seventy
nine reais) corresponding to an interest held by ENSEC in the share
capital of DE LA RUE, which payment shall be made when the transfer has

contracts being negotiated.

month applied to the amount charged, which will be price-level restated as
provided in law. If DE LA RUE is forced to go to court to collect its
credit, ENSEC will be responsible for paying the fees of DE LA RUE's
attorneys at the rate of 20% of the amount which it is ordered to pay.

7. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION.
-----------------------------
(a) If the Executive's employment is terminated for any reason
pursuant to Section 6(d) hereof, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the
Executive an amount equal to __ percent (__%) of the amount of Base Salary and
Bonus received pursuant to this Agreement for the twelve (12) month period
ending on the Date of Termination. If the Executive has not been employed by
the Company (pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) as of the Date of
Termination for a period of twelve (12) months, then the payment calculated
pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be determined by using the annualized amount
of Base Salary and Bonus received by the Executive during such shorter period.
(b) Except as provided in Section 7(d) hereof, if the Executive's
employment is terminated for any reason other than pursuant to Section 6(d)
hereof, on and after the Date of Termination the Company shall no longer be
obligated to pay the Executive any amounts payable hereunder for such period,
whether in the form of Base Salary or otherwise, and the Executive shall have no
right to compensation or other benefits hereunder for any such period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the
Executive all amounts payable hereunder and otherwise, through and including the
Date of Termination.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the
contrary, in no event shall the total amount of payments made under this
Agreement on account of termination under Section 6(f)(v) hereof exceed the
aggregate present value of three times the "base amount" minus one dollar.
"Base amount" means the average annualized compensation income from the Company
includible in the Executive's gross income for Federal income tax purposes over
the five-year period preceding the year in which the Executive's employment is
terminated. This paragraph, and the language therein, shall be interpreted
consistently with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and any regulations thereunder.
- 5 -

(d) Subject to Sections 9(b) and 9(c) hereof, if the Executive's

Section 6(d) hereof), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is (i)
the number of months covered by the severance payment (the "Covered Period"), as
stated in the notification of such election given to the Executive pursuant to
this Section 7(d), and the denominator of which is (ii) 12; provided, however,
that in no event shall the Covered Period exceed twelve (12) months. The Company
shall provide the Executive, on or before the Date of Termination, written
notification of such election by the Company and the length of the Covered
Period.
8. NOTICE OF TERMINATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE.

hereof, the expiration of four (4) consecutive months of the Executive's
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, as set forth in Section 6(b)
hereof (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the performance
of his duties on a full-time basis during such four (4) month period); (iii) if
the Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 6(c) or 6(d)

(iii) call upon any client or clients of the Company or any of its

-----------
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party to

15. ENFORCEMENT COSTS. If any civil action, arbitration or other legal
-----------------
proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an
alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any
provision of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall
be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees, sales and use taxes, court
costs and all expenses even if not taxable as court costs (including, without

16. EQUITABLE REMEDIES. The Executive acknowledges that the services to be

rendered by the Executive hereunder are extraordinary and unique and are vital
to the success of the Company, and that damages at law would be an inadequate
remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Executive.

provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all
other rights or remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach, without the
Company being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond.

Agreement shall be brought in the courts of record of the State of Florida in

court. Service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail, as
provided in this Agreement, or in such other manner as may be provided under
applicable laws, rules of procedure or local rules.

parties hereto and their respective administrators, executors, other legal
representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this
Agreement is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any
third persons to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any
third persons any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to
this Agreement.
20. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement
------------
entered into pursuant hereto is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid
under applicable law or regulation, such provision shall be inapplicable and
deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the
remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given full force
and effect so far as possible. If any provision of this Agreement may be
construed in two or more ways, one of which would render the provision invalid
or otherwise voidable or unenforceable and another of which would render the
provision valid and enforceable, such provision shall have the meaning which
renders it valid and enforceable.
21. SUCCESSION. This Agreement is intended to supersede any and all
----------
employment agreements, in their entirety, and all amendments thereto, between
the Executive and the Company, Ensec or Ensec Engenharia e Sistemas de
Seguranca, S.A., a Brazilian corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
