INFORMATION STATEMENT SUMMARY
The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in
this Information Statement. The summary is necessarily incomplete and selective
and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information contained in
this Information Statement, including the appendices hereto. Unless the context
indicates otherwise, references in this Information Statement to "Ultrak" and
"GPS" refer respectively to Ultrak, Inc. and its subsidiaries and predecessors
and BLC & Associates, Inc. (d/b/a G.P.S. Standard U.S.A.) and its subsidiaries
and predecessors.
ULTRAK
Ultrak designs, manufactures, markets, and services video closed circuit
television ("CCTV") products for use in security applications, general
observation, medical and dental equipment, and automated manufacturing systems.
These products include a broad line of cameras, lenses, monitors, switchers,
time lapse recorders, multiplexers, and wireless video transmission systems.
Prior to July 1993, Ultrak's Exxis Technologies, Inc. subsidiary marketed,
sold, and serviced personal computer products, including desktop and tower
computers, disk drives, CD-ROM drives, printers, and monitors sold under its
private brand name, [X] Smart Choice. Ultrak discontinued this business in July
1993. See "ULTRAK MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" and Note I of the Notes to Ultrak's Consolidated
Financial Statements included herein.
Ultrak is a Colorado corporation which was incorporated in 1980. Ultrak
conducts its principal business operations at five locations: Carrollton
(Dallas), Texas; Broomfield (Denver), Colorado; southern California; Chicago,
Illinois; and Annapolis, Maryland; and Ultrak has additional sales offices in
New York, southern Florida, Boston, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Ultrak's main
executive offices are located at 1220 Champion Circle, Suite 100, Carrollton,
Texas 75006, and its telephone number is (214) 280-9675.
GPS
GPS manufactures and sells high-end integrated security and surveillance
systems used by systems integrators for outdoor perimeter protection of power
plants, military installations, commercial security, and high-end residential
applications. GPS has recently introduced a series of technologically advanced
matrix switching systems and a new generation of environmental enclosures made
from aluminum, nylon, and stainless steel. GPS also manufactures water cooled
specialty enclosures and positioning devices used for specific applications
ranging from corrosive to high temperature or explosive environments, such as
refineries, nuclear plants, furnace operations, or marine applications. GPS
has relocated its operations to Dallas, Texas consolidating its headquarters
with Ultrak, located at 1220 Champion Circle, Suite 100, Carrollton, Texas
75006, and its telephone number is (214) 280-9675.

<PAGE> 10
MERGER
Terms of the Merger and Conversion Factor. Upon consummation of the Merger in
accordance with the Merger Agreement, Ultrak Subsidiary will be merged with and
into GPS and the separate corporate existence of Ultrak Subsidiary will cease,
and will continue its existence as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrak. See
"MERGER -Terms of the Merger Agreement -- General." The Merger Agreement
provides that upon the Merger becoming effective, each outstanding share of GPS
Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive .8578 shares of Ultrak
Common Stock. See "MERGER - Terms of the Merger Agreement -- Conversion
Factor." The holders of record of GPS Common Stock as of the Closing Date (as
defined herein) (the "GPS Shareholders") will be governed by the corporate laws
of the State of Colorado (Ultrak's state of incorporation) after consummation
of the Merger and upon their receipt of shares of Ultrak Common Stock.
Therefore, the GPS Shareholders receiving Ultrak Common Stock in the Merger
will have different rights than they had as GPS Shareholders under California
corporate law. See "MERGER -- Comparison of Rights of Holders of GPS Common
Stock and Ultrak Common Stock." Ultrak's Board of Directors and shareholders
have approved and adopted a plan to reincorporate Ultrak in Delaware, effective
as of December 29, 1995. After that date, all persons holding Ultrak Common
Stock, including the GPS Shareholders who receive Ultrak Common Stock in the
Merger, will be governed by Delaware corporate law, unless Ultrak's Board of
Directors decides before that time to abandon the Reincorporation. See
"ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE - General" and "-Significant Differences
in Corporate Law of Colorado and Delaware."
Management After the Merger. After the Merger, GPS will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ultrak, and it is expected that GPS will operate in the same
manner as prior to the Merger.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger. It is intended that Merger will
constitute a tax-free reorganization for purposes of Section 368(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The federal income tax
consequences of the Merger to the GPS Shareholders are summarized under
"MERGER - Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences."
Rights of Dissenting Shareholders. Subject to certain other conditions, if a
GPS Shareholder had not voted his or its shares of GPS Common Stock in favor of
the Merger, such GPS Shareholder would have been eligible to make a written
demand on GPS for payment to him or it of the fair cash value of his or its GPS
Common Stock within a certain time period. A GPS Shareholder who seeks to
assert dissenters' rights must take certain other steps in the manner required
by California law. However, because each GPS Shareholder voted in favor of the
Merger, in the form of a unanimous written consent of the GPS Shareholders,
each GPS Shareholder has waived his or its dissenters' rights. See "MERGER -
Rights of Dissenting Shareholders."
Conditions to the Merger. Consummation of the Merger is subject to satisfaction
or waiver of various conditions, including compliance with the respective
covenants and confirmation of the respective representations and warranties of
the parties in the Merger Agreement. See "MERGER - Terms of the Merger
Agreement --Conditions to the Merger."
Accounting Treatment. Ultrak intends to account for the Merger as a pooling of
interests. See "MERGER - Accounting Treatment."

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Ultrak Common Stock involves the consideration of a
number of special factors and investment risks. See "RISK FACTORS" for a
summary of certain of the investment risks to be considered by the GPS
Shareholders.

ULTRAK AND GPS
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Since the Merger does not constitute a Significant Business Combination (as
defined herein) under Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act ("Regulation S-X"), a
presentation of the pro forma combined financial statements of Ultrak and GPS
is unnecessary. Under Regulation S-X, a business combination, such as the
Merger, shall be considered a Significant Business Combination if a comparison
of the most recent annual financial statements of the business acquired or to
be acquired and the registrant's most recent annual consolidated financial
statements filed at or prior to the date of acquisition indicates that the
business would be a Significant Subsidiary (as defined herein) pursuant to the
conditions specified in Regulation S-X. Under Regulation S-X, if GPS had met
one of the following conditions, it would have been considered a Significant
Subsidiary:
(i) The number of Ultrak Common Shares exchanged by Ultrak in the
Merger exceeded ten percent (10%) of the total number of outstanding shares
of Ultrak Common Stock as of the Closing Date;
(ii) As of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, the
proportionate share of the total assets of GPS exceeded ten percent (10%)
of the total assets of Ultrak; and
(iii) As of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, the
proportionate share of Ultrak's equity in the income from continuing
operations before income taxes, extraordinary items, and cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle of GPS exceeded ten percent (10%) of
such income of Ultrak.
Since none of these factors are applicable to GPS or the Merger, GPS is not
a Significant Subsidiary and the Merger is not a Significant Business
Combination.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This Information Statement may be used by Ultrak for distribution of up to
176,470 shares of Ultrak Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Ultrak
Common Stock issued under this Information Statement will be freely
transferable under the Securities Act, except for shares issued to persons who
may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the
Securities Act and Rule 145(c) thereunder. Persons who are deemed to be
"affiliates," as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of GPS shall be
deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the
Securities Act if such persons publicly offer or sell the shares of Ultrak
Common Stock received by such persons pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject
to the exceptions of Rule 145(d) of the Securities Act. Generally, these are
persons who are deemed to control, to be controlled by, or to be under common
control with GPS. Thus, Ultrak Common Stock issued in connection with the
Merger to persons who constitute "underwriters" within the meaning of Section
2(11) and Rule 145(c) may not be publicly reoffered or resold by such persons
except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
covering such shares or, in certain circumstances, pursuant to Rule 145(d) or
any other applicable exemption under the Securities Act.
RISK FACTORS
DEPENDENCE ON PRODUCT SUPPLIERS
Ultrak purchases the products it markets and sells from a limited number of
non-affiliated foreign manufacturers and will continue to depend substantially
upon such manufacturers in the future. Ultrak does not itself manufacture the
products which it markets and sells. Ultrak has in the past and may in the
future experience difficulties obtaining, in a timely manner, those components
which are necessary for its finished products. The loss of any one supplier of
components or an inability of suppliers to provide Ultrak with the required
quantity or quality of components could have a material adverse effect on
Ultrak's business until such time as an alternate source of supply for such
components is found. See "BUSINESS OF ULTRAK - Suppliers and Distribution."
CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER
As of September 30, 1995, George K. Broady, the Chairman of the Board,
President, Chief Executive Officer, and principal shareholder of Ultrak, is the
beneficial owner of approximately 30% of the Ultrak Common Stock and 100% of
the Series A 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $5.00 par value (the
"Series A Preferred Stock"), of Ultrak. Each share of the Series A Preferred
Stock has voting rights equal to 16.667 shares of Ultrak Common Stock. Mr.
Broady therefore controls over 50% of the votes on all matters which are or may
be submitted to a vote of the shareholders of Ultrak, and will continue to
control at least 50% of such votes immediately after the Closing Date. The
holders of shares controlling a majority of the votes of the shareholders of
Ultrak can elect all of the directors of Ultrak and approve or disapprove
certain fundamental corporate transactions, including mergers, liquidation, a
"going private" transaction, the sale of substantially all of Ultrak's assets,
and the authorization, issuance, and sale of new securities of Ultrak, and may
delay or prevent a change in control of Ultrak. See "PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS OF
ULTRAK" and "DESCRIPTION OF ULTRAK'S CAPITAL STOCK."
9
<PAGE> 15
PREFERRED STOCK
Ultrak's Articles of Incorporation authorize 2,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, $5.00 par value, of which 195,351 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
currently issued and outstanding. Ultrak's Preferred Stock may be issued in
series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and
limitations as the Board of Directors of Ultrak may determine by resolution.
The potential exists, therefore, that additional series of Ultrak's Preferred
Stock might be issued that would grant dividend preferences and liquidation
preferences to preferred shareholders over holders of Ultrak Common Stock.
Unless the nature of a particular transaction and applicable statutes require
otherwise, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue Preferred Stock
without shareholder approval. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the
effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Ultrak without any
further action by shareholders. See "DESCRIPTION OF ULTRAK'S CAPITAL STOCK."
DEPENDENCE UPON MANAGEMENT AND KEY PERSONNEL
The ability of Ultrak to continue profitable operations will depend
significantly upon its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and
President, George K. Broady; its Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer, James D. Pritchett; and its Secretary-Treasurer, Vice
President-Finance, and Chief Financial Officer, Tim D. Torno; and upon certain
other key employees of Ultrak. The loss of the services of Mr. Broady, Mr.
Pritchett, Mr. Torno, or any of Ultrak's other key employees could be expected
to have a material adverse effect upon Ultrak's business and operations. In
addition, Ultrak's success will be dependent upon its ability to recruit and
retain qualified personnel. See "MANAGEMENT OF ULTRAK."
COMPETITION WITH LARGER COMPANIES
CCTV systems are being manufactured by numerous concerns, many of which
have substantially greater resources than Ultrak. Moreover, the CCTV product
industry is characterized by rapid technological change, and technology may be
developed which will be more cost effective and advanced than products which
are sold by Ultrak. Ultrak competes with a number of other sellers, ranging
from small local firms to large national and international firms, many of which
have substantially greater financial, management, and marketing resources than
Ultrak. See "BUSINESS OF ULTRAK."
DEPENDENCE UPON MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Ultrak is dependent upon certain major customers. During 1994, sales to one
customer, Walmart Stores, Inc. and Sam's Wholesale Club, a division of Walmart
Stores, Inc., accounted for 21% of Ultrak's sales. During 1993, sales to the
same customer accounted for 18% of Ultrak's sales. An unexpected decline of
sales to this customer could have a material adverse effect on Ultrak. See
"BUSINESS OF ULTRAK."
NO DIVIDENDS
Ultrak has not paid any dividends on the Ultrak Common Stock since its
inception. At the present time, Ultrak does not anticipate paying dividends on
Ultrak Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will depend
upon the earnings of Ultrak, its financial requirements, and other factors. GPS
Shareholders who anticipate the need for immediate dividend income should not
rely on their shares
10
<PAGE> 16
of Ultrak Common Stock obtained pursuant to the Merger for such income. See
"MARKET FOR ULTRAK COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS."
IMPORTATION OF PRODUCTS
The importation of products into the United States and into other
jurisdictions in which Ultrak's products are sold is subject to numerous risks
including labor strikes or shipping delays, fluctuation in currency exchange
rates, and import duties. There is no assurance that the United States, Korea,
Japan, Hong Kong, or other governments will not in the future impose trade
restrictions which could adversely affect Ultrak's operations. Currently, there
is a 3% to 6% United States duty on imported products, and there are no United
States quotas on the types of products distributed by Ultrak. However, there
can be no assurance that quotas, taxes, or further or greater duties or taxes
will not be imposed in the future. Ultrak imports approximately 60% of its
products. See "BUSINESS OF ULTRAK-Suppliers and Distribution."
TECHNOLOGICAL OBSOLESCENCE
The CCTV product industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
frequent product introductions, and worldwide research. The ability of Ultrak
to compete will depend in large part on its ability to successfully adapt to
technological changes in the industry. Although Ultrak's products are currently
based on what it considers solid processes and technology, there is no
assurance that patents, products, processes, or computer software produced by
competing companies could not supersede or make obsolete the products sold by
Ultrak. The industry is characterized by rapid technological obsolescence of
products and drastic price reductions.
MARKET CONDITIONS; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
There are approximately 4.7 million shares of Ultrak Common Stock held by
public shareholders who are not "affiliates," as that term is defined under the
Securities Act, of Ultrak. The historically low trading volume of Ultrak Common
Stock makes it susceptible to substantial market price swings should volume of
any size and frequency occur in the offering, buying, or selling of shares of
Ultrak Common Stock. Ultrak is not able to predict the effect on market prices
of the distribution of the shares of Ultrak Common Stock covered by this
Information Statement. Further, factors such as new product announcements by
Ultrak or its competitors, quarterly fluctuations in Ultrak's operating
results, and general conditions in the securities markets may have a
significant impact on the market price of the Ultrak Common Stock. See "MARKET
FOR ULTRAK COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS."
MATERIAL BENEFITS OF MERGER TO AFFILIATES OF GPS
As a condition to the obligations of Ultrak and Ultrak Subsidiary under the
Merger Agreement, Mathiew Bais, the President of GPS ("Bais"), will enter into
an employment agreement with Ultrak, which provides for Bais to continue to be
employed with GPS after the Merger in the same capacities, and under similar
terms and conditions, as he had prior to the Merger. Other than such employment
agreement, the officers, directors, and other affiliates of GPS will not
receive any material benefits from the Merger that are not received by
shareholders of GPS in general.
11
<PAGE> 17
FINANCING
Although Ultrak's indebtedness owed to NationsBank and Petrus Fund, L.P.,
its two primary lenders, is payable on demand, Ultrak believes it has an
excellent relationship with both of its lenders. Ultrak's indebtedness to
Petrus Fund, L.P. and NationsBank has been in existence since 1992 and 1993,
respectively, and management believes that Ultrak's lenders will not demand
payment without Ultrak being in violation of material loan covenants. At
December 31, 1994, Ultrak was in violation of certain loan covenants and both
lenders granted waivers of the violations. As of September 30, 1995, Ultrak was
in compliance with all loan covenants.

<PAGE> 18
MERGER
BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER AND RELATED MATTERS
During the months of June 1995, Ultrak and GPS negotiated the preliminary
terms and conditions of the Merger. In general, these terms and conditions
contemplated, among other things, that Ultrak or a subsidiary of Ultrak would
acquire GPS in a merger transaction in which the holders of GPS Common Stock
and holders of options, warrants, and other rights to acquire GPS Common Stock
would receive shares of newly issued and registered Ultrak Common Stock. These
terms and conditions were set forth in a letter of intent which was executed by
the parties on or about June 14, 1995.
Following the execution of the letter of intent, Ultrak and GPS each
conducted a due diligence review of the other. Among other things, each
considered the other's financial condition and results of operations,
contracts, leases, litigation, and employee relations. On the basis of those
reviews, Ultrak and GPS mutually concluded that there were synergistic
advantages to the Merger.
At a special meeting held on August 18, 1995, the Board of Directors of
Ultrak unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement was in the best
interests of Ultrak and its shareholders and approved and adopted the Merger
Agreement. Approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the shareholders
of Ultrak is not required; however, Ultrak, as the sole shareholder of Ultrak
Subsidiary, has approved the Merger and the terms of the Merger Agreement.
GPS's Board of Directors met on August 1, 1995, to review the results of
GPS's special review of Ultrak's business and operations that had been
conducted by representatives of the Board and senior management of GPS at
Ultrak's headquarters in Dallas in May 1995. At that meeting, GPS's Board also
discussed Ultrak's business and the market for the Ultrak Common Stock with
George Broady, the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and
President of Ultrak. GPS's Board of Directors authorized execution of the
Merger Agreement on August 1, 1995, after considering the operating results of
Ultrak and of GPS for the period ended June 30, 1995, and the terms of the
Merger Agreement. In reaching its decision to approve and adopt the Merger
Agreement, the Board of Directors of GPS, without assigning any relative or
specific weights, considered a number of factors, including, among others, the
following four factors:
(i) THE HISTORICAL AND CURRENT FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS, AND BUSINESS OF GPS AND ULTRAK. The Board believed that the
businesses of GPS and Ultrak were well matched because of synergy of
product lines. After reviewing the historical and current financial
condition and results of operations of GPS and Ultrak, the Board of
Directors believed that, the rapid growth of Ultrak in sales and earnings
(and the potential for increased sales and profitability of Ultrak as the
result of the perceived synergies of the acquisition of) justified the
exchange ratio included in the Merger Agreement.
(ii) THE TERMS OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE CONSIDERATION TO BE RECEIVED BY THE GPS SHAREHOLDERS IN THE MERGER, THE
ASSUMPTION BY ULTRAK OF THE OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF GPS
IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER, AND THE CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER AND GPS'S
ABILITY TO SATISFY SUCH CONDITIONS. In particular, the Board considered
favorably the commitment of Ultrak to use reasonable efforts to cause the
Ultrak Common Stock to
13
<PAGE> 19
be registered under the Securities Act, thereby making Ultrak Common Stock
freely transferable for most non-controlling shareholders of GPS following
the Merger (see "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION").
(iii) THE QUALITY OF AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ULTRAK COMMON STOCK TO
BE RECEIVED BY THE GPS SHAREHOLDERS IN THE MERGER. In addition to the
Board's favorable opinion of Ultrak's historical financial condition,
results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources, the Board believed
that the quality of Ultrak Common Stock to be received by the GPS
Shareholders in the Merger was supported by (a) the Board's favorable
impression of the quality of the executive officers of Ultrak based on the
numerous personal discussions conducted by representatives of GPS with
them, and (b) the existence of an established public trading market for
Ultrak Common Stock, unlike GPS Common Stock for which there is no
established trading market and for which the Board believed there would be
no prospect of establishment of public trading market for the foreseeable
future.
(iv) THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE MERGER WILL BE TREATED AS A TAX-FREE
REORGANIZATION FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES SO THAT GENERALLY NO GAIN OR
LOSS WILL BE RECOGNIZED BY THE GPS SHAREHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE
EXCHANGE OF GPS COMMON STOCK FOR ULTRAK COMMON STOCK IN THE MERGER.
TERMS OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT
General. The Merger Agreement provides that, following approval of the
Merger Agreement by the GPS Shareholders and the satisfaction or waiver of the
other conditions to the Merger, Ultrak Subsidiary will be merged with and into
GPS at the Effective Time in accordance with the California General Corporation
Law (the "CGCL") and the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA"). GPS will
be the surviving corporation in the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the
separate corporate existence of Ultrak Subsidiary will cease, and GPS will
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrak.
Conversion Factor. Each share of GPS Common Stock issued and outstanding at
the time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive .8578 shares
of Ultrak Common Stock. It is a condition to consummation of the Merger that
shares of Ultrak Common Stock be exchanged for at least 99% of the GPS Common
Stock.
The "Conversion Factor" shall mean .8578, which is determined by dividing
176,470 (the aggregate number of shares of Ultrak Common Stock to be exchanged
in the Merger as of the Closing Date) by 205,714 (the aggregate number of
shares of GPS Common Stock to be exchanged in the Merger as of the Closing
Date).
Conditions to the Merger. The obligations of Ultrak and GPS to consummate
the Merger are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including,
among others: (i) the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the GPS
Shareholders; (ii) the absence of any injunction, writ, or preliminary
restraining order or any order of any nature issued by a court or governmental
agency of competent jurisdiction to the effect that the Merger may not be
consummated as provided in the Merger Agreement and the absence of any lawsuit
or proceeding (actual or as to which written notice has been received) by any
governmental or regulatory agency for the purpose of obtaining any such
injunction, writ, or preliminary restraining order; and (iii) shares of Ultrak
Common Stock shall be exchanged for at least ninety-nine percent (99%) of GPS
Common Stock.
14
<PAGE> 20
The obligation of Ultrak to consummate the Merger is subject to certain
additional conditions, including, among others, that: (i) GPS's representations
and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement shall be true and correct as
of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Closing Date; (ii) GPS shall
have performed in all material respects all covenants and agreements required
to be performed by it under the Merger Agreement; (iii) there shall have been
no material adverse change in GPS's business, properties, assets, liabilities,
results of operations, or condition, financial or otherwise; (iv) Mathiew Bais
shall have executed and delivered an employment agreement in the form attached
to the Merger Agreement; (v) the Board of Directors Ultrak shall have approved
the Merger; (vi) CIL shall have converted the Note (as defined on the Merger
Agreement) into GPS Common Stock; (vii) the Signing Shareholders, individually
and collectively, shall have transferred 100% of the ownership of Fully
Integrated Security Technologies, Inc., a California corporation ("FIST") to
Ultrak; (viii) each of Profubel, a Belgian corporation, Sicurit Alarmitalia, an
Italian corporation, and Video Engineering, an Italian corporation, shall have
consented in writing (in a form and substance satisfactory to Ultrak) to the
transfer of ownership of FIST to Ultrak and to the modifications to the Joint
Venture Agreement requested by Ultrak; and (ix) VIDEOTEC, s.r.l., an Italian
corporation, shall have executed the Supply Agreement.
The obligation of GPS to consummate the Merger also is subject to certain
additional conditions, including, among others, that: (i) Ultrak's
representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement shall be true
and correct as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Closing Date;
(ii) Ultrak shall have performed in all material respects all covenants and
agreements required to be performed by it under the Merger Agreement; and (iii)
there shall have been no material adverse change in Ultrak's business,
properties, assets, liabilities, results of operations or condition, financial
or otherwise.
Amendment. The Merger Agreement may be amended by the written agreement of
all the parties to the Merger Agreement.
Fees and Expenses. Each of Ultrak and GPS will pay its own fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby; provided, however, that to the extent GPS's legal fees
and expenses in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), such excess shall
be paid by the Signing Shareholders.
Exchange of GPS Stock Certificates. As soon as practicable after the
Closing Date, instructions and a letter of transmittal will be furnished to the
Closing Date Shareholders for use in exchanging their stock certificates for
certificates evidencing the shares of Ultrak Common Stock they will be entitled
to receive as a result of the Merger. THE GPS SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SUBMIT
THEIR STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR EXCHANGE UNTIL INSTRUCTIONS AND A LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL ARE RECEIVED.
No Solicitation. The Merger Agreement provides that until the Closing Date,
neither GPS nor its officers, directors, agents, or affiliates, will, except as
required by law or by the Merger Agreement, or by the fiduciary duties of the
Board of Directors of: (a) directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, or
initiate discussions or negotiations with any corporation, partnership, person,
or other entity or group concerning any merger, sale of all or substantially
all of the assets, business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, or
similar transactions involving GPS, whether by providing nonpublic information
or otherwise; or (b) disclose, directly or indirectly, any information not
customarily disclosed to any person concerning its business and properties,
afford to any other person access to its properties, books, or records or
otherwise assist or encourage any person in connection with any of the
foregoing. If GPS receives any
15
<PAGE> 21
offer or inquiry for a transaction of the type referred to in (a) above, then
the Merger Agreement provides that GPS will promptly inform Ultrak and Ultrak
Subsidiary as to the relevant terms and conditions of such offer.
EFFECTIVE TIME OF THE MERGER
The Merger will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger
relating thereto with the Secretary of State of California and articles of
merger relating thereto with the Secretary of State of Texas (the "Closing
Date"). The Merger Agreement provides that the parties thereto will cause such
certificate of merger and articles of merger to be filed as soon as practicable
after each of the conditions to consummation of the Merger has been satisfied
or waived. The Merger cannot become effective until the GPS Shareholders have
approved the Merger Agreement and all required regulatory approvals and actions
have been obtained and taken. See "MERGER-Terms of the Merger
Agreement--Conditions to the Merger." Thus, there can be no assurance as to
whether or when the Merger will become effective.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE GPS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF GPS HAS DETERMINED THAT THE MERGER IS IN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF GPS AND THE GPS SHAREHOLDERS, HAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE MERGER
AGREEMENT, AND HAS RECOMMENDED TO THE GPS SHAREHOLDERS THAT EACH VOTE FOR THE
PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE MERGER.
RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
Dissenters Rights. Pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL, shareholding of a
California corporation entitled to vote on a transaction, such as a merger,
have certain dissenter's rights. However, since all of the GPS Shareholders
have approved the merger, in the form of a unanimous written consent, none of
the GPS Shareholders are eligible to exercise dissenter's rights under
California law.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER
The GPS Shareholders should be aware that certain executive officers and
directors of GPS have certain interests that may present them with potential
conflicts of interests with respect to the Merger.
Ownership of GPS Common Stock. As of the Record Date, executive officers
and directors of GPS beneficially owned an aggregate of 46.7% of the shares of
GPS Common Stock. Mathiew Bais, an executive officer and director of GPS and
the beneficial owner of 46.7% of the shares of GPS Common Stock, will be,
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, entering into an employment agreement with
Ultrak.
REGULATORY APPROVALS REQUIRED
Under the Merger Agreement, the obligations of both Ultrak and GPS to
consummate the Merger are conditioned upon receipt of all required regulatory
approvals (with certain exceptions). Other than the approval of certain state
securities commissions, Ultrak and GPS believe that no such regulatory and
other approvals are required by applicable law.
16
<PAGE> 22
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
For financial reporting purposes, the Merger will be accounted for by the
pooling of interests method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Accordingly, the assets or liabilities of GPS will be
carried forward at their historical recorded amounts.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
General. The following is a summary of the intended material federal income
tax consequences of the Merger to the GPS Shareholders. This summary is based
on provisions of the Code, The Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and
administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect as of the
date hereof. Such provisions and the interpretation of the Code, the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder may differ as of the Closing Date, and
relevant facts may also differ.
The tax treatment of the Merger with respect to each GPS Shareholder will
depend in part upon each such GPS Shareholder's particular situation. Special
tax consequences not described below may be applicable to particular classes of
taxpayers, including financial institutions, broker-dealers, persons who are
not citizens or residents of the United States or who are legal entities formed
under the laws of jurisdictions outside the United States, and the GPS
Shareholders who acquired their shares through the exercise of employee stock
options or otherwise as compensation. All GPS Shareholders should consult with
their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences of the Merger to
them, including the applicability and effect of any state, local, and foreign
tax laws.
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO GPS SHAREHOLDERS
The following are the intended material federal income tax consequences of
the Merger to the GPS Shareholders.
1. No gain or loss will be recognized by the GPS Shareholders.
2. The basis of the Ultrak Common Stock to be received by the GPS
Shareholder will be the same, in each instance, as the basis of GPS Common
Stock surrendered in exchange therefor.
3. The holding period for the Ultrak Common Stock will include the
holding period of GPS Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor, provided
such GPS Common Stock was held as a capital asset on the date of the Merger.
THE DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE DOES NOT ADDRESS THE STATE, LOCAL, OR
FOREIGN TAX ASPECTS OF THE MERGER. THE DISCUSSION IS BASED ON CURRENTLY
EXISTING PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, EXISTING AND PROPOSED TREASURY REGULATIONS
THEREUNDER, AND CURRENT ADMINISTRATIVE RULINGS AND COURT DECISIONS. ALL OF THE
FOREGOING ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND ANY SUCH CHANGE COULD AFFECT THE CONTINUING
VALIDITY OF THIS DISCUSSION. EACH GPS SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR ITS OWN
TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO SUCH
GPS SHAREHOLDER, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, AND
FOREIGN TAX LAWS.
17
<PAGE> 23
RESALE OF ULTRAK COMMON STOCK
Shares of Ultrak Common Stock to be issued to the GPS Shareholders in
connection with the Merger will be freely transferrable under the Securities
Act, except for shares issued to the Signing Shareholders or to any person who,
as of the Closing Date, may be deemed to be an affiliate ("Affiliate") of GPS
within the meaning of Rule 145 under the Securities Act. In general, Affiliates
of GPS include certain of its executive officers, each member of its board of
directors, and any other person or entity who controls, is controlled by, or is
under control with, GPS. Rule 145, among other things, imposes certain
restrictions upon the resale of securities received by Affiliates in connection
with certain reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or asset transfers.
Ultrak Common Stock received by Affiliates of GPS in the Merger will be subject
to the applicable resale limitations of Rule 145.
Ultrak may place legends on certificates representing shares of Ultrak
Common Stock which are issued to Affiliates of GPS in the Merger to restrict
transfers in accordance with the foregoing.
COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF GPS COMMON STOCK AND ULTRAK COMMON STOCK
Ultrak is incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado, and GPS is
incorporated under the laws of the State of California. GPS Shareholders'
rights are currently governed by the CGCL, GPS's Articles of Incorporation,
attached hereto as Annex B (the "GPS Charter"), and GPS's Bylaws (the "GPS
Bylaws"), attached hereto as Annex C. Upon consummation of the Merger and to
the extent they receive shares of Ultrak Common Stock, the GPS Shareholders
will become shareholders of Ultrak, and their rights from the Closing Date
until December 29, 1995, will be governed by the Colorado Business Corporation
Act (the "CBCA"), Ultrak's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, attached
hereto as Annex D (the "Ultrak Charter"), and the Bylaws of Ultrak (the "Ultrak
Bylaws"), attached hereto as Annex E.
Effective as of December 29, 1995, Ultrak will reincorporate in Delaware by
merging with a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in Delaware solely for that
purpose, unless the Board of Directors of Ultrak determines that it is
inadvisable to do so. See "ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE -General." The
Board of Directors chose to delay the effectiveness of the Reincorporation
until that date in order to simplify the transition from Delaware to Colorado
corporate law and particularly to correspond with Ultrak's fiscal year. See
"ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE - Effective Date of the Reincorporation."
Upon Ultrak's reincorporation in Delaware, all persons owning Ultrak Common
Stock will be subject to Delaware corporate law rather than Colorado corporate
law. See "ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE -General." Therefore, although
certain significant differences between the rights of Ultrak's shareholders
before and after the Merger are discussed below, the GPS Shareholders receiving
Ultrak Common Stock in the Merger should note the differences in the charter
documents and corporate laws that will govern them as a result of the
Reincorporation discussed under the caption "ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN
DELAWARE - Significant Differences in Corporate Law of Colorado and Delaware."
Management of Ultrak and GPS are of the opinion that, except as described
below, there are no substantial differences relating to the rights of the
holders of GPS Common Stock and the holders of Ultrak Common Stock.
There are a number of significant differences between the applicable
corporate laws of the State of California and the States of Colorado and
Delaware. Although no attempt has been made to summarize all differences in the
corporate laws of such states, management of Ultrak and GPS believe the
following
18
<PAGE> 24
to be a fair summary of the significant differences in the corporate laws of
those states which would affect the GPS Shareholders. As a result of the Merger
and the subsequent Reincorporation, the GPS Shareholders will be subject to
different rights as holders of capital stock of Ultrak, which is governed by
the laws of Colorado (and subsequently Delaware), than they have presently as
holders of GPS Common Stock. The most significant of such changes are outlined
below and, along with several other less material changes, are discussed in
greater detail in the narrative below and under the caption. See "ULTRAK'S
REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE."

Authorized Shares. Under the Ultrak Charter, Ultrak is authorized to issue
20 million shares of Ultrak Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $5.00 par value per share, of which 195,351 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock are currently issued and outstanding. The powers, preferences, and rights
of the Ultrak Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock are identical
except that holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled (i) to
quarterly preferential dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding
up of Ultrak, (ii) to receive the original purchase price of $5.00 plus any
unpaid dividends accruing to that date, and (iii) to voting rights equal to
16.667 shares of Ultrak Common Stock. See "DESCRIPTION OF ULTRAK'S CAPITAL
STOCK - General."
Under the GPS Charter, GPS is authorized to issue one million shares of GPS
Common Stock and no other series or class of shares.
General and Close Corporation. Under the Ultrak Charter and Ultrak Bylaws,
Ultrak is a general corporation, and, as such, under the CBCA, there are no
restrictions as to the number of possible shareholders of record of Ultrak.
Other than the CBCA, the Ultrak Charter and Ultrak Bylaws provide guidance for
the Ultrak Shareholders regarding the management and division of profits of
Ultrak.
As a result of the election by GPS to be a "close corporation" under the
CGCL, issued shares of GPS Common Stock cannot be held of record by more than
thirty-five (35) persons. In a close corporation, the provisions for management
of the corporation may be included in a shareholders' agreement, rather than the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of a corporation. Generally, notwithstanding
the express limitations of the CGCL on the exercise of corporate powers, a
written shareholders' agreement may provide for the management of the business
and the division of profits or distribution of assets in liquidation in a
different manner. The shareholders of GPS entered into that certain
shareholders' agreement, dated May 1994, attached hereto as Annex F (the "GPS
Shareholders' Agreement").
Preemptive Rights. Under the CBCA, the Ultrak Shareholders are permitted to
have preemptive rights to purchase new shares unless prohibited in the
articles of incorporation; the Ultrak Charter does prohibit such rights.
Under the CGCL, preemptive rights do not exist unless a special provision
is made in the corporation's articles of incorporation or in the case of a
close corporation, in the corporation's
19
<PAGE> 25
shareholder agreement. The GPS Charter does not provide for preemptive rights;
however, the GPS Shareholders' Agreement does provide for such rights.
Amendment of Governing Documents. Under the CBCA, the affirmative vote of
two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is required to amend a
corporation's bylaws or articles of incorporation, unless the articles of
incorporation or the bylaws of a corporation provide for a lower percentage.
Under the Ultrak Charter and Ultrak Bylaws, only a vote of a majority of the
shares outstanding and entitled to vote is required to amend either its bylaws
or its articles of incorporation.
Under the CGCL, a proposed amendment to the articles of incorporation or
the bylaws must generally be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Under the CGCL, bylaws may, in certain
cases, be amended by the approval of the Board of Directors. Under the GPS
Shareholders' Agreement, the GPS Charter cannot be amended without the consent
of all shareholders.
Dissolution. Under the CBCA, the Board of Directors of a corporation such
as Ultrak may adopt a resolution to dissolve the corporation, which must be
approved by a majority of the corporation's shareholders to become effective.
As a result of the Reincorporation, the shareholders, upon a unanimous vote,
will be empowered to cause the corporation to dissolve without the support of
the Board of Directors. See "ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE - Votes of
Shareholders."
Under the CGCL, a majority of the corporation's shareholders, unless
otherwise specified in its articles of incorporation, bylaws, or, in the case
of a close corporation, shareholders' agreement, may voluntarily wind up and
dissolve a corporation. However, pursuant to the GPS Shareholders' Agreement,
GPS cannot be dissolved without the unanimous consent of the shareholders of
GPS.
Anti-Takeover Legislation. Colorado does not have an anti-takeover statute
that attempts to prohibit a third party from effecting a takeover or a change
in control of Ultrak without the consent of the management and shareholders of
Ultrak. A significant change resulting from the Reincorporation is that
shareholders of Ultrak-Delaware will be protected by Delaware's anti-takeover
statute. See "ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE -Significant Differences in
Corporate Law of Colorado and Delaware --Anti-Takeover Legislation."
California does not have an anti-takeover statute that attempts to prohibit
a third party from effecting a takeover or a change in control of GPS without
the consent of the management and shareholders of GPS.
Special Meetings of Shareholders. Under the Ultrak Bylaws, a special
meeting of the Ultrak Shareholders may be called by the President, by order of
the Board of Directors, upon the written request of the holders of at least 10%
of the outstanding shares of Ultrak Common Stock entitled to vote at such
meeting, or by legal counsel of Ultrak as last designated by resolution of the
Board of Directors.
Under the GPS Bylaws, a special meeting of the GPS Shareholders may be
called by order of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Vice
Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary, any officer of GPS
instructed to so call a special meeting by the Board of Directors, or the
request of the holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of GPS Common
Stock entitled to vote at such meeting.
20
<PAGE> 26
Shareholder Nominations. The Ultrak Bylaws contain no restrictions on the
ability of shareholders to nominate persons for election as a director of
Ultrak. The GPS Bylaws contain no restrictions on the ability of shareholders
to nominate persons for election as a director of GPS; however, the GPS
Shareholders' Agreement provides that each shareholder of GPS shall designate a
director of GPS to perform those duties required under the CGCL.
Shareholder Proposals. The Ultrak Bylaws contain no restrictions on the
ability of shareholders to make shareholder proposals. The GPS Bylaws contain
no restrictions on the ability of shareholders to make shareholder proposals.
Board of Directors. Under the Ultrak Bylaws, the Board of Directors of
Ultrak consists of such number of directors as determined from time to time by
the Board of Directors, which cannot in any case be less than three. The Board
of Directors of Ultrak currently consists of five members, all of whom are
elected at each annual meeting of shareholders. Under the Ultrak Bylaws,
directors may be removed with or without cause at any time by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Ultrak Common Stock entitled to vote. Under the
GPS Bylaws and the GPS Charter, the authorized number of directors constituting
the initial Board of Directors of GPS shall be three, and thereafter the
authorized number of directors which may be at least three provided that,
whenever GPS shall have only two shareholders, the number of directors may be
at least two, and, whenever GPS shall have only one shareholder, the number of
directors may be at least one. Under the GPS Bylaws, directors may be removed
at any time by the holders of a majority of the outstanding GPS Common Stock
entitled to vote. The Board of Directors of GPS currently consists of two
members, all of whom are elected at each annual meeting of Shareholders.
Under the Ultrak Bylaws, the presence of a majority of the total number
of directors currently comprising the Board of Directors is necessary to
constitute a quorum. Under the GPS Bylaws, the presence of a majority of the
total number of directors comprising the Board of Directors of GPS is necessary
to constitute a quorum, provided such majority shall constitute at least either
one-third of the authorized number of directors or at least two directors,
whichever is larger, or one director if the authorized number of directors is
only one.
Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors. Under Colorado law,
there is no express standard of conduct which can protect a director from
liability nor any express statute of limitations with respect to any illegal
acts by a director, and directors are not liable for illegal acts of the
corporation if they did not assent to or vote for such acts. Under the Ultrak
Charter, no director of Ultrak will be personally liable to Ultrak or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except in limited circumstances.
Under the CGCL, the articles of incorporation of a corporation may
include a provision limiting or eliminating the personal liability of a
director from monetary damages in an action brought by or in the right of the
corporation for a breach of a director's duties to the corporation or the
shareholders. Such a provision is subject to specified exceptions, including
acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, knowing and culpable
violations of the law, absence of good faith, reckless disregard for the
director's duty, and an unexcused pattern of inattention amounting to an
abdication of duty. The GPS Charter, however, does not provide for such a
limitation of a director's personal liability.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Under the Ultrak Charter, Ultrak
is required to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the CBCA, any
person who is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact
that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of Ultrak,
provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to
21
<PAGE> 27
the interests of Ultrak, and had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Ultrak may advance the reasonable expenses to any such director, officer,
employee, or agent of Ultrak provided that, in the case of a director or
officer of Ultrak, he or she delivers the undertaking required by the CBCA.
After the Reincorporation, Ultrak will have a much broader right to indemnify
its directors under Delaware law than it presently has under Colorado law. See
"ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE - Significant Differences in Corporate
Law of Colorado and Delaware -- Indemnification of Directors and Officers."
The CGCL governs the indemnification of corporate officers and
directors, but the CGCL is not exclusive of any indemnification rights
authorized in the GPS Charter. A corporation's articles of incorporation,
under California law, may authorize indemnification of agents for breaches of
duty to the corporation or its shareholders in excess of that expressly
permitted by the CGCL. The GPS Charter, however, does not provide for such
indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by the CGCL.
Dissenters Rights. The Ultrak Shareholders are entitled under the CBCA to
receive payment for their shares if they dissent from certain corporate
actions, such as a reincorporation, consolidation, merger, or sale of all or
substantially all of Ultrak's assets. Any shareholder of Ultrak wishing to
dissent from such a transaction and obtain cash payment for his shares must
file with Ultrak, prior to the vote on such transaction, a written notice of
his intention to demand that he be paid fair compensation for his shares if the
transaction is effectuated and must refrain from voting his shares in approval
of such transaction. A shareholder who fails to demand payment or fails to
deposit his certificate for payment within 30 days of mailing of such notice by
Ultrak will have no right to receive payment for his shares but will retain all
other rights of a shareholder of Ultrak.
The GPS Shareholders are entitled under the CGCL to receive payment for
their shares if they dissent from certain corporate actions, such as
reincorporation. Any shareholder of GPS wishing to dissent from such a
transaction may require the corporation to purchase for cash, at the fair
market value, the shares owned by such shareholder.
After the Reincorporation, the Ultrak Shareholders, including the GPS
Shareholders that receive Ultrak Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, will have
more limited dissenters' rights than are presently available under either
Colorado or California corporate law. See "ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE
- - Significant Differences in Corporate Law of Colorado and Delaware -- Rights
of Dissenting Shareholders."
ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE
GENERAL
On March 10, 1995, the Board of Directors of Ultrak at a special meeting
approved a proposal to change Ultrak's state of incorporation to Delaware
effective as of December 29, 1995, and to submit such proposal to Ultrak's
shareholders. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders of Ultrak approved the
proposal to change the state of incorporation of Ultrak from Colorado to
Delaware. This change will be accomplished by merging Ultrak into Ultrak, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (herein referred to as "Ultrak-Delaware" or the
"Surviving Corporation"), which is a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Ultrak
formed solely for that purpose.
22
<PAGE> 28
The merger of Ultrak into Ultrak-Delaware (the "Reincorporation") will be
effected pursuant to the Plan and Agreement of Merger (the "Reincorporation
Agreement") between Ultrak and Ultrak-Delaware attached hereto as Annex G. The
Reincorporation Agreement provides that, when the Reincorporation becomes
effective, Ultrak-Delaware will continue as the Surviving Corporation under the
name "Ultrak, Inc." The Reincorporation Agreement also provides that Ultrak and
Ultrak Delaware may terminate the Reincorporation Agreement upon mutual written
consent. Because Ultrak's Board of Directors is the same as Ultrak-Delaware's
Board of Directors, the Board of Directors effectively has the right to
terminate the Reincorporation Agreement and abandon the Reincorporation for any
reason whatsoever notwithstanding shareholder approval.
The summary of the Reincorporation contained herein accurately describes
the material effect of the Reincorporation on shareholders of Ultrak. For a
complete description of the terms of the Reorganization, shareholders of Ultrak
should refer to the Reincorporation Agreement.
Pursuant to the Reincorporation Agreement, the Board of Directors of Ultrak
will become the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation. The management
of Ultrak will continue as the management of the Surviving Corporation. The
Reincorporation will not involve any change in the business or properties of
Ultrak. The Surviving Corporation will succeed to all the assets and be
responsible for all the liabilities of Ultrak, including obligations under
Ultrak's 1988 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan. Although the purposes of the
Surviving Corporation set forth in its Certificate of Incorporation will permit
it in the future to enter into any lawful business activity, no change in the
present business of Ultrak is now contemplated, except as new developments and
opportunities may occur.
There are certain differences between the Certificate of Incorporation and
the By-Laws of Ultrak and the Surviving Corporation, as well as differences in
the corporate law of the States of Colorado and Delaware, which will affect
Ultrak and its shareholders. See "- Significant Differences in Corporate Law of
Colorado and Delaware" and "- Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws."
The Surviving Corporation is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of
common stock, $0.01 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $5.00
par value, including 195,351 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. See
"Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws." Upon the Reincorporation becoming
effective, Ultrak's shareholders will become shareholders of the Surviving
Corporation, and each outstanding share of Ultrak Common Stock will become one
share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation and each outstanding share
of Series A Preferred Stock of Ultrak will become one share of Series A
Preferred Stock of the Surviving Corporation. The Common Stock of the Surviving
Corporation will have the same relative rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions as the Ultrak Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock of the
Surviving Corporation will have the same relative rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions as Ultrak's Series A Preferred Stock. The
Reincorporation will not cause any change in the qualification of Ultrak Common
Stock on Nasdaq. It will not be necessary for holders of Ultrak Common Stock to
exchange their existing certificates for new certificates representing Common
Stock of the Surviving Corporation. It is anticipated that delivery of the
present stock certificates of Ultrak will constitute "good delivery" for
transactions in shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation after the
effective date of the Reincorporation.
In connection with the Reincorporation, the authorized shares of Ultrak
Common Stock will be converted into shares of the Surviving Corporation's
authorized Common Stock, $0.01 par value.
23
<PAGE> 29
Ultrak has reserved the right to abandon the Reincorporation if
circumstances arise which in the opinion of the Board of Directors make it
inadvisable to proceed.
REASONS FOR REINCORPORATION
The Board of Directors of Ultrak believes that the best interests of Ultrak
and its shareholders will be served by reincorporating in Delaware in order to
have the benefits afforded by a more flexible corporation law. Delaware has a
well-established policy of continuously reviewing and updating its corporate
laws. Consistent with this policy, the corporate laws of Delaware are
frequently revised and Delaware currently has a flexible and modern statute
governing the conduct of corporate affairs.
Thousands of corporations, including a great many of the larger
corporations in this country, are now incorporated in Delaware. The number of
corporations maintaining their domicile in Delaware over the years has resulted
in a judiciary particularly familiar with many phases of corporate matters and
a substantial body of decisions construing its laws and establishing public
policy affecting its corporations. Based on the well developed and predictable
nature of the Delaware corporate law, management believes that the ongoing
operations and business of Ultrak can be carried on to better advantage if
Ultrak is incorporated under the laws of Delaware. See "Significant Differences
in Corporate Law of Colorado and Delaware."
Delaware has in effect an anti-takeover statute that would, following the
Reincorporation, make it difficult for a potential acquirer to effect a
takeover or change in control of Ultrak without management's consent and the
consent of Ultrak's shareholders. Accordingly, the Reincorporation will have
the effect of making it more difficult to remove the existing management of
Ultrak. Colorado does not have a comparable statute. Management is unaware of
any person accumulating Ultrak's voting securities or seeking to take control
of Ultrak, but believes that reincorporation in Delaware is still desirable for
the reasons described above, notwithstanding the anti-takeover effect of the
Reincorporation. Since current management beneficially owns approximately 28%
of the Ultrak Common Stock and 100% of the Series A Preferred Stock,
representing approximately 58% of the votes in matters to be voted upon by the
shareholders of Ultrak, the reincorporation will not have a practical effect on
the likelihood of success of an unfriendly attempt to effect a takeover or
change in control of Ultrak.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Reincorporation Agreement provides that upon the effective date of the
Reincorporation, the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be
composed of those members of the Board of Directors of Ultrak who are elected
at the meeting.
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
The Reincorporation Agreement provides that the Certificate of
Incorporation and the By-Laws of Ultrak-Delaware will be the Certificate of
Incorporation and the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation. The Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws of Ultrak and the Certificate of Incorporation and
By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation are substantially similar; however, some
differences do exist. Among other things, the By-Laws of the Surviving
Corporation contain indemnification provisions, whereas the By-Laws of Ultrak
do not address indemnification (although the Certificate of Incorporation of
each addresses indemnification), and the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation
do not have certain provisions contained in the By-Laws of Ultrak restricting
the officers of Ultrak from entering into certain contracts and
24
<PAGE> 30
incurring certain indebtedness without board of director approval. See
"ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE - Indemnification of Directors and
Officers." The Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving
Corporation are attached hereto as Annexes H and I, respectively.
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN CORPORATE LAW OF COLORADO AND DELAWARE
Management is of the opinion that, except as described below (for example,
written consents of shareholders, appraisal rights of dissenting shareholders,
required vote of shareholders needed to take certain actions, anti-takeover
legislation, etc.), there are no substantial differences relating to the rights
of shareholders between the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of Ultrak
and those of the Surviving Corporation.
There are a number of significant differences between the applicable
corporate laws of the States of Colorado and Delaware. Although no attempt has
been made to summarize all differences in the corporate laws of such states,
management believes the following to be a fair summary of the significant
differences in the corporate laws of the States of Colorado and Delaware which
could affect Ultrak's shareholders:
Preemptive Rights. Under Colorado corporation law, shareholders of Ultrak
are permitted to have preemptive rights to purchase new shares unless
prohibited in the Certificate of Incorporation; the Ultrak Charter does
prohibit such rights. Under Delaware corporation law, shareholders do not
have such preemptive rights unless there is a specific provision granting
such rights in the Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will not contain such a
provision. Accordingly, the Reincorporation will not have a practical
impact on shareholders as regards preemptive rights. Management of Ultrak
believes that not providing for mandatory preemptive rights in the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation is desirable to
afford greater flexibility in possible future financings. Although the
Board has no present plans for any financing which would give rise to
preemptive rights, satisfaction of such rights would represent an
undesirable impediment to the use of such financings.
Examination of Books and Records. Under Colorado corporation law, a person
must have been a shareholder for at least three months, or be the holder of
record of at least five percent of all outstanding shares of any class of
stock of a corporation in order to examine certain records of the
corporation, including the minutes of meetings of the board of directors
and board committees, accounting records, and shareholder records. Under
Delaware corporation law, any shareholder with a proper purpose may demand
inspection of the records of the corporation.
Dividends. Under Delaware corporation law, a corporation may pay dividends
to its shareholders either out of surplus (net assets in excess of stated
capital), or in case there is no surplus, out of net profits for the then
current fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year, with certain
limitations. Under Colorado corporation law, dividends may be paid out of
net assets available after providing for satisfaction of preferential
rights of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those
receiving the dividend.
Votes of Shareholders. Colorado corporation law provides that because
Ultrak was in existence prior to June 30, 1994, unless the Certificate of
Incorporation provides otherwise, the vote of two-thirds of all outstanding
shares entitled to vote is required to amend the corporate charter, to
dissolve a corporation, to effect a reincorporation or consolidation, or to
sell, lease or exchange all or
25
<PAGE> 31
substantially all of the corporation's assets. The Ultrak Charter permits
such actions to be taken upon vote of a majority of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote. Under Delaware corporation law and the Certificate of
Incorporation of Ultrak-Delaware, the vote of a majority of the outstanding
stock entitled to vote is required to amend the corporate charter, to
dissolve a corporation, to effect a reincorporation or consolidation, or to
sell, lease, or exchange all or substantially all of the corporation's
assets. Under both Colorado and Delaware law, action by the Board of
Directors, as well as the shareholders, is required to amend the corporate
charter, to effect a reincorporation or consolidation, or to sell, lease,
or exchange of its assets. Accordingly, the Reincorporation will not have a
practical impact on shareholders as regards the vote necessary to approve
significant corporate transactions.
Cumulative Voting. Delaware corporation law permits a corporation to
provide cumulative voting by including a provision to that effect in its
Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation will not have a provision permitting cumulative voting. Under
Colorado corporation law, shareholders have cumulative voting unless prohibited
in the Certificate of Incorporation. The Ultrak Charter currently so prohibits
cumulative voting; accordingly, the Reincorporation will not have a practical
impact on such rights of shareholders.
Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. Under Colorado corporation
law, shareholders may take action without meetings by unanimous written consent
of the shareholders entitled to vote. Under Delaware corporation law,
shareholders may take action without meetings by written consent signed by the
holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which
all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Since Mr. Broady
will own in the aggregate more than a majority of the votes represented by the
Surviving Corporation's Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, he will have
the power to act by written consent to authorize any action which requires
shareholder approval, without the vote of any other shareholders.
Anti-Takeover Legislation. Delaware has enacted a statute which prevents a
"business combination" between an "interested shareholder" and a Delaware
corporation for a period of three years after such shareholder became an
interested shareholder, unless certain conditions are met. Colorado corporation
law does not contain a parallel provision. The Delaware statute defines a
business combination as any reincorporation or consolidation, any sale, lease,
exchange, or other disposition of 10% or more of a corporation's assets, or any
transaction (subject to certain exceptions) which results in the transfer of
stock of a corporation to the interested shareholder, increases his
proportionate ownership of a corporation's stock, or results in such interested
shareholder receiving the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges,
or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. The
Delaware statute defines an interested shareholder as (subject to certain
exceptions) any person who is the owner of 15 percent or more of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation or a person who is an affiliate or
associate of the corporation who became the owner of 15 percent or more of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation within the three-year period prior
to the date on which it is sought to determine whether such shareholder is
interested. A business combination is exempt from the effect of the statute if,
among other things, either (i) prior to the date the shareholder became
interested, the board of directors approved either the business combination or
the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming interested, (ii) upon
consummation of the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming
interested, such shareholder owned at least 85 percent of the corporation's
voting stock at the time the transaction commenced, or (iii) on or after the
date the shareholder becomes interested, the business combination is approved
by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of
shareholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding
voting stock not owned by the interested shareholder.
26
<PAGE> 32
The anti-takeover statute provides that the Certificate of Incorporation of
a Delaware corporation may provide that the corporation expressly elects not to
be governed by the statute. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation does not include such a provision.
The effect of the Reincorporation, and thereby subjecting Ultrak to the
anti-takeover statute, will make it more difficult for a person who seeks to
acquire control of Ultrak or to effect a business combination with Ultrak, such
as a tender offer, to do so without management's approval, thereby making it
more difficult to remove existing management of Ultrak. The Delaware statute
could, therefore, potentially have an adverse impact on shareholders who wish
to participate in any such tender offer or other transactions even where such
transaction may be favorable to the interests of shareholders.
The Reincorporation could have the effect of discouraging hostile tender
offers, proxy contests, or other transactions by forcing potential acquirers to
negotiate with incumbent management. The disadvantages to shareholders of the
Reincorporation in Delaware include reducing the likelihood that a hostile
tender offering a premium over market price for Ultrak's shares will be made.
The Reincorporation will have a practical effect on shareholders by making it
more difficult to remove existing management without such management's
approval.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. A significant effect of the
Reincorporation will be to broaden the indemnification protection given to
directors and officers. Delaware permits corporations to adopt much broader
rights of indemnification for management than is available under the CBCA. In
recent years, many corporations have found it increasingly difficult to attract
and retain qualified directors and senior management, due to the increased
risks of lawsuits and related liability. At the same time, it has become
increasingly difficult, and expensive, to obtain insurance protecting directors
and officers from such liabilities. As a result, many corporations are
utilizing expanded rights of indemnification as a means to attract, retain and
protect directors and senior management. In the past, Ultrak has encountered
some difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified directors because of
Colorado's indemnification law. One current director expressed his concern
about Colorado's indemnification law before agreeing to serve as a director.
The Surviving Corporation has no present intention of entering into separate
indemnification agreements with management, but may do so in the future.
Delaware law makes indemnification available to directors, officers,
employees, and agents of a corporation, whereas Colorado law provides
indemnification only to directors (and officers who are not directors, in
certain cases) of a corporation, although a Colorado corporation may indemnify
officers, employees, or agents of the corporation who are not directors if
provided for by its articles of incorporation, by-laws, a resolution of its
shareholders or directors, or in a contract. In addition, whereas Colorado's
indemnification provisions limit indemnification rights contained in the
articles of incorporation, by-laws, resolutions, or contracts to such rights as
are consistent with Colorado law, Delaware permits a corporation to provide by
agreement, by-law provision, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, for indemnification of directors and officers not otherwise provided
by statute, which is a more permissive standard. Under Colorado law, expenses
can be advanced to a director, officer, or employee only upon, among other
things, a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the
applicable standard of conduct for indemnification. Delaware law contains no
such requirements. Delaware law, unlike Colorado law, also expressly permits
indemnification and advancement of expenses to former officers, employees, or
agents of the corporation who were not directors. Colorado law requires that
shareholders be given notice of the payment of indemnification if such payment
arises out of a derivative suit. Delaware law contains no such requirement.
Colorado law limits indemnification in derivative suits to expenses only,
whereas the By-Laws of Ultrak-Delaware, as permitted by Delaware
27
<PAGE> 33
law, provide indemnification in derivative suits for fines, judgments, and
amounts paid in settlement. Under Colorado law, a director who is adjudged
liable to the corporation for deriving an improper personal benefit can only be
reimbursed for expenses and only upon determination of a court that
indemnification is proper in Delaware. Such a director would also be
indemnified for fines, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement and a court
determination is not necessary.
The Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of Ultrak-Delaware, like the
Ultrak Charter, contain broad indemnification provisions which (i) obligate
Ultrak-Delaware to indemnify any of its officers, directors, employees, or
agents for all expenses (including legal fees) and liabilities (including
fines, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement) incurred in connection with
any pending or completed suit, action, or proceeding, including derivative
suits; provided, however, that such person is entitled to indemnification only
if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interest of Ultrak-Delaware and with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful; (ii) provides for indemnification rights for as long as any such
person shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened suit or proceeding
by reason of the fact that such person was or is a director, officer, employee,
or agent of Ultrak-Delaware; (iii) requires Ultrak-Delaware to advance expenses
to any person entitled to indemnification provided that such person undertakes
to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not
entitled to indemnification; (iv) provides for the determination of whether
indemnification is proper because the requisite standard of conduct has been
met to be made by a majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties
to such action, suit, or proceeding, or by independent legal counsel or by the
shareholders of Ultrak-Delaware; and (v) provides that such charter and by-law
provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may legally be entitled.
Differences include, the Ultrak Charter requires the unanimous vote of each
class of shares entitled to vote to amend the indemnification provision of the
Ultrak Charter, while the Certificate of Incorporation of Ultrak-Delaware
provides that a written request for indemnification should be responded to
within 60 days. No such provision exists in the Ultrak Charter.
To the knowledge of management of Ultrak, no actions are pending or
threatened which would affect in any way the rights of any person entitled to
indemnification, whether under Colorado or Delaware law.
Dissolution. Under Colorado corporation law and the Ultrak Charter Ultrak
can voluntarily dissolve upon its board of directors adopting a resolution
setting forth a proposal to dissolve which proposal is approved by a majority
of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon. Under Delaware law, a corporation
can voluntarily dissolve if its board of directors and a majority of the
shareholders entitled to vote thereon approve the dissolution, or without
approval of the board of directors if all the shareholders entitled to vote
approve the dissolution.
Liability of Directors. Under Delaware law, directors are jointly and
severally liable to a corporation for willful or negligent violations of
statutory provisions relating to the purchase or redemption of a corporation's
own shares or the payment of dividends, for a period of six years from the date
of such unlawful act. A director who was either absent or dissented from the
taking of such action may exonerate himself from liability by causing his
dissent to be entered in the corporation's minutes. Under Colorado law,
directors are jointly and severally liable to the corporation if they vote for
or assent to acts which violate statutory provisions relating to the purchase
of a corporation's own shares, the payment of dividends, the distribution of
assets in liquidation, or any loans or guarantees made to a director, until the
repayment thereof. Under Colorado law, there is no express standard of conduct
which can protect a director from liability nor any express statute of
limitations with respect to any such illegal acts by a
28
<PAGE> 34
director, as there are under Delaware law, and directors are not liable as long
as they did not vote for or assent to any of the illegal acts. Colorado law,
unlike Delaware law, allows a director who was present at a meeting which
approved an illegal act to avoid liability, even if he does not register his
dissent in the minutes of the meeting by voting against the illegal act.
Rights of Dissenting Shareholders. Shareholders of Ultrak are presently
entitled under Colorado corporation law to receive payment for their shares if
they dissent from certain corporate actions, such as reincorporations,
consolidations or sales of all or substantially all of Ultrak's assets. Under
Delaware corporation law, there is no such right to receive payment in a sale
of assets, and there is no such right to receive payment in a reincorporation
or consolidation if the common stock of the surviving corporation in the
reincorporation or consolidation is listed on a national securities exchange or
is held of record by 2,000 or more persons and the only consideration received
by the shareholders in the reincorporation or consolidation is stock of the
corporation resulting from the reincorporation or consolidation or stock of a
listed company with 2,000 or more shareholders, and cash in lieu of fractional
shares.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE REINCORPORATION
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions of the Reincorporation, it is
contemplated that the Reincorporation will be made effective as of December 29,
1995. The Board of Directors chose this date in order to simplify the transfer
of Ultrak's books and records, and to correspond with the end of Ultrak's
fiscal year.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Under current federal income tax law, Ultrak, Ultrak-Delaware, the
shareholders of Ultrak who did not exercise their rights as shareholders
dissenting from the Reincorporation pursuant to Section 7-113-102 of the CBCA,
attached hereto as Annex J, and the GPS Shareholders who own Ultrak Common
Stock after the Merger (since they are not entitled to such dissenters' rights)
will not, by reason of the Reincorporation, realize any gain or loss which will
be recognized for federal income tax purposes. With respect to each dissenting
shareholders's shares of Ultrak Common Stock, immediately after the
Reincorporation, (i) the tax basis of such shares will equal the tax basis of
such shareholder's shares immediately before the Reincorporation and (ii) the
holding period for such shares will include the shareholder's holding period
for the shares before the Reincorporation. Any gain or loss realized by
shareholders of Ultrak, who exercise their rights to appraisal, will be
recognized for federal income tax purposes. Generally, such recognized gain or
loss will be equal to the difference between a shareholder's tax basis in his
shares and the amount he receives for his shares. However, if a dissenting
shareholder continues to own an interest in Ultrak-Delaware, directly or
indirectly, after the Reincorporation then the amount received upon exercise of
appraisal rights might be taxed as a dividend.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Since the Merger does not constitute a Significant Business Combination
under Regulation S-X, a presentation of the pro forma combined financial
statements of Ultrak and GPS is unnecessary. Under Regulation S-X, a business
combination, such as the Merger, shall be considered a Significant Business
Combination if a comparison of the most recent annual financial statements of
the business acquired or to be acquired and the registrant's most recent annual
consolidated financial statements filed at or prior to the date of acquisition
indicates that the business would be a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to the
conditions specified in Regulation S-X. Under Regulation S-X, if GPS had met
one of the following conditions, it would have been considered a Significant
Subsidiary:
(i) The number of Ultrak Common Shares exchanged by Ultrak in the
Merger exceeded ten percent (10%) of the total number of outstanding shares
of Ultrak Common Stock as of the Closing Date;
(ii) As of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, the
proportionate share of the total assets of GPS exceeded ten percent (10%)
of the total assets of Ultrak; and
(iii) As of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, the
proportionate share of Ultrak's equity in the income from continuing
operations before income taxes, extraordinary items, and cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle of GPS exceeded ten percent (10%) of
such income of Ultrak.
Since none of these factors are applicable to GPS or the Merger, GPS is not
a Significant Subsidiary and the Merger is not a Significant Business
Combination.

BUSINESS OF ULTRAK
GENERAL
Ultrak designs, manufactures, markets, and services video closed circuit
television products for use in security applications, general observation,
medical and dental equipment and automated manufacturing systems. These
products include a broad line of cameras, lenses, monitors, switchers, time
lapse recorders, multiplexers, and wireless video transmission systems.
Prior to July 1993, Ultrak's Exxis Technologies, Inc. subsidiary marketed,
sold, and serviced personal computer products, including desktop and tower
computers, disk drives, CD-ROM drives, printers and monitors sold under its
private brand name [X] Smart Choice. Ultrak discontinued this business in July
1993. See "ULTRAK MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" and Note I of Notes to Ultrak's Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Ultrak is a Colorado corporation incorporated in 1980. Ultrak's
headquarters are located at 1220 Champion Circle, Suite 100, Carrollton, Texas
75006. Ultrak conducts its principal business operations at five locations:
Carrollton (Dallas), Texas; Broomfield (Denver), Colorado; Annapolis, Maryland;
southern California and Chicago, Illinois and has additional sales offices in
New York, southern Florida, Boston, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Effective April 1, 1994, Ultrak acquired a 56% interest in JAK Pacific
Video Warranty and Repair Services, Inc., a California corporation ("JAK"), for
total cash consideration of $573,000. JAK is in the business of providing
warranty and repair services for CCTV equipment for a line of products
manufactured by a Korean based company. JAK also has exclusive marketing and
sales rights for certain products in the United States. The operations of JAK
were merged with the existing operations of Ultrak's facility in southern
California. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Ultrak has an
option to acquire the remaining 44% of JAK for cash consideration of $500,000,
which will expire on December 31, 1995.
In July 1994, Ultrak exercised its option, in accordance with the terms of
an Option Agreement, to acquire an additional 2.2% of the outstanding stock of
Dental Vision Direct, Inc. ("DVD") from the minority shareholders of DVD,
thereby increasing Ultrak's ownership in DVD from 80% to 82.2%. DVD is in the
business of manufacturing, marketing, and selling an intraoral video hand piece
(sold under the Ultracam trade name) and related accessories used by dentists
in their practices. Effective December 30, 1994, Ultrak acquired the remaining
17.8% interest in DVD from the minority owners for total cash consideration of
$5,000.
On October 31, 1994, Ultrak's revolving line of credit with NationsBank of
Texas, N.A. was increased from $12.0 million to $13.2 million. The NationsBank
revolving line of credit was further increased during February 1995 from $13.2
million to $15.0 million. On October 4, 1994, Petrus Fund, L.P., of which Perot
Investments is the general partner, increased its revolving line of credit to
Ultrak from $6.0 million to $7.0 million and agreed to further increase
Ultrak's line of credit from $7.0 million to $8.0 million upon Ultrak's
achievement of certain net income requirements. In conjunction with the
31
<PAGE> 37
amendments to both loan agreements, certain financial and operational covenants
were modified. All other terms and conditions of the loan agreements were
unchanged.
On March 10, 1995, the Board of Directors of Ultrak approved a proposal to
change Ultrak's state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware effective
December 29, 1995, and to submit such proposal to Ultrak's shareholders. At the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Ultrak held on May 25, 1995 (the "Annual
Meeting"), the shareholders of Ultrak approved the proposal to change the state
of incorporation of Ultrak from Colorado to Delaware. The change will be
accomplished by merging Ultrak into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrak
incorporated in Delaware that was formed solely for the purpose of merging with
Ultrak. See "ULTRAK'S REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE." NONE OF THE GPS
SHAREHOLDERS RECEIVING SHARES OF ULTRAK COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO THE MERGER
WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE FOR OR AGAINST THE REINCORPORATION. For a summary of
certain changes in the rights of the holders of shares of Ultrak Common Stock
as a result of the reincorporation of Ultrak in Delaware, see "ULTRAK'S
REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE-Significant Differences in Corporate Law of
Colorado and Delaware."
On July 14, 1995, Diamond Purchasing Corp., a Texas corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Ultrak, merged ("Diamond Merger") with and into
Diamond Electronics, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Diamond"), whereby all the
outstanding shares of common stock of Diamond were converted into the right to
receive 600,000 shares of Ultrak Common Stock, subject to certain upward
adjustments. Diamond is in the business of manufacturing and selling high speed
commercial security and surveillance systems used by large retailers,
metropolitan surveillance systems for traffic control, and hazardous viewing
systems used by the industry.
CCTV PRODUCTS; INDUSTRY
Ultrak designs, manufactures, markets, and services video CCTV products for
use in security applications, general observation, medical and dental
equipment, and automated manufacturing systems. These products include a broad
line of cameras, lenses, monitors, switchers, time lapse recorders,
multiplexers, and wireless video transmission systems.
Ultrak's target markets are wholesale distributors, installing dealers,
large end-users, mass merchants (for resale), manufacturing companies, system
integrators, and dentists. Each target market is reached through a dedicated
group of telemarketing and regional sales professionals as well as through
catalogs, magazine advertising, and industry trade shows.
Approximately 70% of Ultrak's CCTV products sales carry its own brand names
(Ultrak, Exxis, [X] Smart Choice, Beck, Mobile Video Products, and Ultracam),
with the remainder having brands owned by others such as Mitsubishi, Sony,
Dedicated Micros, Panasonic, and others. Ultrak's own branded products are
manufactured to its design specifications by manufacturer suppliers located in
Korea, Japan, England, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and the United States.
According to a Smith Barney Shearson Electronic Security Industry Report,
dated January 25, 1994, by the year 2000, the CCTV industry is expected to be a
$755 million annual sales component of the expected $17 billion total U.S.
security industry. The CCTV segment of the security industry has experienced
rapid growth since the early 1980s. CCTV sales represent a significant portion
of the total security industry, trailing only intrusion detection devices and
fire detection apparatus in terms of sales. Included in the CCTV category are
CCTV cameras, lenses, monitors, switchers, time lapse recorders,
32
<PAGE> 38
multiplexers, video transmission systems, and various types of peripheral
equipment used for CCTV installations. Ultrak's business is not generally
seasonal in nature, except that sales in December and January are typically
15-20% lower than other months.
Ultrak believes that it is an important factor within the CCTV industry and
that it is one of the three largest in terms of CCTV sales in the United
States. However, many of its competitors are divisions of much larger
companies.
Ultrak has trademark registration on its Ultrak, [X] Smart Choice, Beck,
Ultracam, the Witness, Video Butler, and BabyWatch trade names. In addition,
Ultrak has been issued a patent on its Ultracam intraoral hand piece and has
patents pending on a multiple operator dental system, the Witness, a security
observation system that records activity upon activation of an alarming input
signal, and several other devices.
SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTION
Ultrak's product development staff designs and then coordinates with its
non-affiliated suppliers to manufacture certain of its private branded products
as well as coordinates and supervises the assembly and packaging of certain
products by its own employees. Ultrak has been and will continue to be
substantially dependent upon its manufacturer suppliers. Ultrak has exclusive
and non-exclusive sales and marketing rights for certain of the CCTV products
it sells, including certain CCTV cameras and systems manufactured in Japan and
Korea. Ultrak has in the past experienced, and may in the future experience,
short-term difficulties in obtaining some products from some manufacturers. In
general, Ultrak's suppliers are constantly developing new products that advance
the state of technology in security products and offer improved value. Ultrak
has in the past issued letters of credit or placed funds on deposit with its
suppliers to attempt to insure itself a constant and consistent supply of
products.
Approximately 95% of Ultrak's purchases from its non-affiliated suppliers
are made in US dollars with the remaining 5% purchased in Japanese yen. To
date, Ultrak has not been materially adversely affected by fluctuations in the
valuation of the Japanese yen. It is expected that the Company will continue to
purchase the vast majority of its products in US dollars.
Ultrak believes that it has close relationships with its suppliers. In some
cases, Ultrak is the exclusive or semi-exclusive marketer of its suppliers'
products in the United States. Ultrak's trading agreements with its suppliers
are both written and oral. In most of these relationships, Ultrak believes that
the relationship is as important to the supplier as it is to Ultrak. Thus,
Ultrak believes that there is a strong, mutually advantageous basis for the
trading relationship to exist and grow.
Ultrak imports its private branded security products primarily from Korea,
Japan, England, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Because of foreign production lead
times, Ultrak normally makes purchase commitments to these foreign suppliers
three to six months in advance. Products ordered by Ultrak and manufactured by
others in Asia are shipped to warehouses of Ultrak located in the United States
for subsequent delivery to customers of Ultrak.
Delivery times on these products to the United States vary from one week to
two months, depending on the mode of transportation used. Therefore, it is
necessary for Ultrak to commit to and carry larger levels of inventory than
would be necessary if it used strictly domestic suppliers.
33
<PAGE> 39
The nature of Ultrak's business is to ship most orders within 24 hours of
receipt of the order. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, Ultrak had
approximately $3,939,000 and $2,093,000, respectively, in backlog for its
products which it considers to be firm.
Ultrak can ship its CCTV products from one of five warehouse locations
operated by it: Carrollton, Texas; Broomfield, Colorado; Annapolis, Maryland;
southern California; or Chicago, Illinois. Currently over 90% of all shipments
are made from the Carrollton, Texas, centralized warehouse. Inventory, accounts
receivable, purchasing, payroll, and other corporate business functions are
controlled on Ultrak's integrated computer system located in its Carrollton
headquarters. All sales locations are linked real time through a nationwide
network which allows for orders to be entered and shipped from multiple
locations.
Approximately 21% of Ultrak's 1994 sales were to Walmart Stores, Inc. and
Sam's Wholesale Club, a division of Walmart Stores, Inc. No other single
customer accounted for more than 10% of total sales in 1994.
PROPERTY
Ultrak does not own any real property or own or operate any production
facilities. Ultrak or its subsidiaries lease office/warehouse space in
Carrollton, Texas; Broomfield, Colorado; Annapolis, Maryland; southern Florida;
Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; and Carroll, Ohio.
In January, 1994, Ultrak amended its existing lease covering approximately
69,000 square feet of office and warehouse space at its headquarters in
Carrollton, Texas. The amended lease extended the lease term until May 1999 and
provided a build out allowance of up to $75,000 to be used for office expansion
and compliance with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Monthly lease payments are approximately $19,600 per month.
Ultrak believes it has sufficient space to conduct its current operations
for the next twelve month period. Although Ultrak believes it could obtain
additional space if needed on short notice, there can be no assurance that such
space will be available at prices which Ultrak currently pays or could pay.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Ultrak is not aware of any material pending or threatened legal proceedings
to which Ultrak is or may be a party. Ultrak knows of no legal proceedings
pending or threatened or judgments entered against any director or officer of
Ultrak in their capacity as such.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1994, Ultrak had 148 full-time employees employed at
five primary locations and five field sales offices, of which 88 were sales and
support personnel, 17 were warehouse/assembly personnel, 17 were
technical/service personnel, and 26 were administrative and managerial
personnel.

OPTION/SAR GRANTS
There were no individual grants of stock options (whether or not in tandem
with SARs) and freestanding SARs made during 1994 to the named executive
officers.
Ultrak adopted a Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") on April 15,
1988. A total of 833,333 shares of Ultrak Common Stock are subject to the Plan
(amended November 1, 1991 and December 28, 1993). Options to purchase such
shares may be issued to full-time employees, including officers, chosen by
Ultrak's Board of Directors (which has delegated such authority to the
Compensation Committee). The options vest based upon full-time employment with
Ultrak at the rate of 20% per year over a five-year period. The options expire
ten years from the date of grant. The option exercise price is based upon the
approximate current value of Ultrak Common Stock on the date of grant. Options
which are vested may be exercised at any time thereafter and prior to the
expiration of the option.
The options may be exercised for the entire amount of optioned shares
granted in the event (i) the optionee dies or becomes disabled, (ii) Ultrak is
merged, consolidated, or reorganized, (iii) Ultrak is dissolved or liquidated,
(iv) substantially all property and assets of Ultrak are sold, (v) if more than
50% ownership of Ultrak is transferred, or (vi) if the employee is terminated
for other than cause, and his written employment agreement so provides.
Further, if an employee is dismissed for cause, unexercised options, to the
extent vested, may be exercised for 30 days before automatically expiring.
37
<PAGE> 43
As of December 31, 1994, options relating to 532,959 shares were
outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $1.20 per share to $7.50 per share.
Of the total outstanding options, options to purchase 313,851 shares were held
by the three executive officers of Ultrak. The option exercise price is set by
the Board of Directors on the date of grant near or at the then verifiable
market price of Ultrak Common Stock. During 1994, 47,500 options were granted
to employees of Ultrak. During 1994, 600 options were exercised by two
employees. In 1994, 14,167 options which had been granted to one former
employee were cancelled.
OPTION/SAR GRANTS, EXERCISES AND HOLDINGS
There were no exercises of stock options (or tandem SARs) and freestanding
SARs during 1994 by each of the named executive officers. The unexercised
options owned by the named executive officers as of December 31, 1994 are

REPORT ON REPRICING OF OPTIONS/SARS
There were no adjustments or amendments during 1994 to the exercise price
of any stock options or SARs previously awarded to any of the named executive
officers.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP) AWARDS
There were no awards made to the named executive officers during 1994 under
any LTIP. However, Ultrak has adopted a policy to compensate its executive
officers and key employees with annual bonuses. Essentially the policy is to
evaluate, on an annual basis, each officer's or key employee's entitlement, if
any, to a bonus. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may award
a bonus of up to 50% of an employee's base salary, based on achievement of
certain operating goals, asset management, employee development, and
improvement in other areas considered important and valuable to Ultrak. For
1994, an executive officer bonus pool was established based on the weighted
average of the bonuses earned by all of Ultrak's sales managers. Once the
executive officer bonus pool was designated, bonuses were awarded to officers
based on subjective informal criteria applied by the Compensation Committee.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Ultrak does not sponsor any defined benefit or actuarial plans. However,
Ultrak does sponsor a 401(k) plan for all eligible employees whereby Ultrak
matched 30% during 1994 of the employees's contribution up to a maximum
matching contribution of 6% of the employee's base salary. In 1994, Messrs.
Broady, Pritchett, and Torno received $1,613, $2,737, and $1,872, respectively,
in matching 401(k) contributions under the program.
During 1994, Ultrak provided a medical insurance program for its full-time
employees of which it paid 50% of the premium. As of December 31, 1994, Ultrak
did not have any life insurance or any defined
38
<PAGE> 44
benefit retirement or pension plans for its employees, officers, or directors
other than a key-man life insurance policy on George K. Broady in the amount of
$1.0 million.
Ultrak has a policy that all loans from Ultrak or its subsidiaries to its
officers, directors, and key employees or their affiliates must be approved by
a majority of disinterested directors. There were no loans to officers,
directors, and/or key employees or their affiliates during 1994.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Each director of Ultrak serves until the next annual meeting of Ultrak's
shareholders or until his successor is elected and qualified. Each independent
director receives a fee of $1,000 for each Board of Directors' meeting and $500
for each committee meeting attended, and officers and directors are generally
reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at
Board of Directors and committee meetings.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS
Messrs. James D. Pritchett, Executive Vice President of Ultrak, and Tim D.
Torno, Secretary-Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of Ultrak, have entered
into written employment agreements with Ultrak with varying terms and
provisions summarized below. Ultrak has no termination of employment or
change-in-control arrangements, except as to the substantive effect of Mr.
Broady's stock ownership and the fact that Mr. Pritchett may not be terminated
without cause except as of January 1 of a year, upon 12 months' prior written
notice, after January 1, 1997, and Mr. Torno may not be terminated without
cause except as of January 1 of a year, upon three months' prior written
notice, after January 1, 1996.
Mr. Pritchett's employment agreement, dated May 25, 1995, provides for a
two-year term beginning as of January 1, 1995, but automatically extends for
one-year periods with Ultrak having the right to terminate Mr. Pritchett's
employment agreement upon 12 months' written notice prior to the beginning of a
year. Mr. Torno's employment agreement, also dated May 25, 1995 but effective
as of January 1, 1995, is for a one-year term but automatically extends for
one- year periods with Ultrak having the right to terminate Mr. Torno's
employment agreement upon three months' written notice prior to the beginning
of a year. The employment agreements set Mr. Pritchett's and Mr. Torno's base
salaries at $198,000 and $138,000, respectively.
The employment agreements also contain standard provisions relating to the
employee being entitled to participation in Ultrak's 1988 Nonqualified Stock
Option Plan and participation in a bonus program. The agreements provide that
the employee is to be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with Ultrak's business. The employment agreements further provide for standard
paid vacations, car allowances, other health and accident coverage, and
insurance benefits.
Ultrak may terminate the employment agreements if the employee commits a
breach of the agreement, is convicted of a criminal offense, becomes bankrupt,
grossly neglects the performance of his duties, or becomes chemically addicted
to alcohol, drugs, or any controlled substance. If terminated by Ultrak for any
of those reasons, it is considered cause, and upon termination for cause, all
benefits, including all stock options previously granted to the employee
(subject to the thirty-day permitted exercise period), are cancelled and
rendered null and void. If the employee dies or Ultrak terminates the employee
without cause or if the employee terminates as a result of a material breach by
Ultrak, then all options become exercisable for the full amount of the optioned
shares and the employee is entitled to receive within 15
39
<PAGE> 45
days all compensation he would otherwise have been entitled to receive under
the terms of the agreement for such year and all other benefits. If the
employee terminates the agreement for any reason (other than as a result of a
material breach by Ultrak), he is entitled to exercise only those options which
have been fully vested at the time of termination and he must exercise them
within 30 days of the date of termination.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
In June 1994, the Board of Directors created a Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors. William C. Lee, Charles C. Neal, and Robert F. Sexton
are members of the Compensation Committee. Messrs. Lee, Sexton, and Neal are
independent directors. Prior to the creation of the Compensation Committee, the
entire Board of Directors, then composed of George K. Broady and Mr. Pritchett,
established executive salaries. Mr. Broady is the Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer, and President of Ultrak, and Mr. Pritchett is the Executive
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Ultrak.
Since July 1993, Ultrak has provided Veravision, Inc. ("Veravision") with a
working capital line of credit in return for interest on the borrowed funds and
warrants to purchase Veravision's capital stock. On December 30, 1994, Mr.
Broady, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and President of
Ultrak, guaranteed the repayment of certain indebtedness of Veravision to
Ultrak. Prior to Ultrak making the line of credit available to Veravision, Mr.
Broady had no relationship with Veravision. Prior to Mr. Broady's guarantee,
Veravision had granted Ultrak warrants to purchase 59% of Veravision's capital
stock on a fully-diluted basis. Mr. Broady guaranteed certain amounts due under
notes made by Veravision to Ultrak. At December 31, 1994, the amount guaranteed
by Mr. Broady was approximately $470,000 and the total amount of indebtedness
of Veravision to Ultrak was $900,000. In consideration of his guaranty, Ultrak
transferred warrants to purchase approximately 30% of Veravision's capital
stock to Mr. Broady. Should the amount covered by Mr. Broady's guaranty
increase, Ultrak would be obligated to transfer warrants to purchase additional
shares of Veravision stock to Mr. Broady. Veravision is a supplier of certain
dental camera products to Ultrak. Purchases by Ultrak of Veravision products
totaled $875,000 during 1994 and were made on an arms-length, negotiated basis
and allow a reasonable gross profit margin to Veravision. Other terms of the
purchases from Veravision are similar to terms of similar transactions with
other, non-affiliated entities. At present, Mr. Broady's only relationship with
Veravision is in his capacity as a guarantor of certain debt owed to Ultrak by
Veravision (as described above) and as the holder of warrants to acquire
approximately 30% of Veravision's stock. Mr. Broady is neither an officer nor
director of Veravision.
During 1994, Ultrak made purchases of approximately $265,000 from Ultrak
Electronics Limited, a Hong Kong corporation of which Mr. Broady owns
approximately 30% of the outstanding capital stock. Ultrak believes that the
purchases were made at prices and on terms at least as favorable to Ultrak as
those which could have been obtained in an arm's length transaction with an
unaffiliated party.
During 1994, Mr. Broady acted as guarantor in part on both of Ultrak's
credit facilities as well as its trade line of credit with one of its principal
domestic suppliers. As of March 31, 1995, Mr. Broady has guaranteed
approximately $9.2 million in liabilities of Ultrak. Mr. Broady receives no
consideration for his guarantees on behalf of Ultrak.

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Prior to June 1994, Ultrak did not have a Compensation Committee.
Consequently, the base salary and the bonus criteria for each of Ultrak's
executive officers for 1994 were established by Ultrak's Board of Directors. At
that time, Ultrak's Board of Directors consisted of George K. Broady and James
D. Pritchett. Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer was determined by
Ultrak's Board of Directors using subjective, informal criteria which were
loosely based on Ultrak's performance, a comparison of the salary paid to chief
executive officers of corporations with revenues and assets comparable to
Ultrak based on a survey published by a big six accounting firm and limitations
provided in Ultrak's Loan Agreement with Petrus Fund, L.P. Ultrak's loan
agreement with Petrus Fund, L.P. restricts the maximum salary that may be paid
to the Chief Executive Officer of Ultrak without breaching the loan agreement
to $350,000 per annum in the aggregate, so long as there is no default under
such Loan Agreement; the maximum aggregate compensation permitted to Mr. Broady
in the event of such a default is $225,000 per annum. The increase in salaries
and bonuses for the named executive officers from 1993 to 1994, was determined
by arriving at an appropriate base salary for the Chief Executive Officer based
on a survey published by a big six accounting firm and then determining the
other officers' base salary based on a subjectively determined percentage of
the Chief Executive Officer's salary.
The Board of Directors created the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors in June 1994 comprised of Charles C. Neal, William C. Lee, and James
D. Pritchett. The Compensation Committee views executive compensation as
consisting of three main components: base salary and benefits, annual
incentives and long-term incentives. The Compensation Committee's objective is
to attract, retain, and motivate executive officers through this combination to
achieve strategic and financial objectives and to create value for the
shareholders of Ultrak. The Compensation Committee is in the process of
creating a total compensation package which will determine compensation
primarily on performance-based, objective criteria, such as net income, net
income per share, return on equity, and returns to shareholders through
long-term appreciation of Ultrak's stock. The Compensation Committee would like
to encourage ownership of Ultrak stock by the executive officers and to tie a
large portion of the executive officers' compensation to the performance of
Ultrak's stock and hence to align executive officers' interests more closely
with shareholders' interests. The Compensation Committee also wants to have a
discretionary component to reward exceptional individual achievement.
Since June 1994, the Compensation Committee has undertaken a thorough
review of Ultrak's current levels of executive compensation in light of the
Compensation Committee's policy objectives. This review included a
comprehensive survey of compensation in comparable companies, as well as
analysis of specific Ultrak plans. In its review, the Compensation Committee
relied heavily on information provided by Towers Perrin, a nationally
recognized expert in compensation, and, to a lesser extent, on other publicly
available surveys. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee concluded
that the executive officers of Ultrak were undercompensated in 1994 by
comparison with companies of similar size, industry, and performance (the
companies analyzed have no relationship with the peer group used in the
performance graph). To rectify this, the Compensation Committee has adjusted
the base salaries of the executive officers for 1995 to bring such salaries
closer to the median salaries for such positions in comparable companies. In
addition, the Compensation Committee has, effective in 1995, revised the annual
bonus program to make it more dependent on the achievement of the budgeted net
income before taxes of Ultrak. For 1994, an executive officer bonus pool was
established based on the weighted average of the bonuses earned by all of
Ultrak's sales managers. Once the executive officer bonus pool was designated,
bonuses were awarded to officers based on subjective, informal criteria applied
by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has also requested
the officers of Ultrak to
41
<PAGE> 47
recommend a long- term incentive program for Ultrak which is based on objective
criteria and which encourages long-term ownership by executive officers of
Ultrak stock.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following chart compares the cumulative total shareholder return on
Ultrak Common Stock during the five fiscal years ended December 31, 1994 with
the cumulative total return on the NASDAQ market index and a peer group index.
The peer group consists of all of the publicly-traded companies with the same
two digit SIC code (wholesale trade - durable goods). A listing of the
companies in the peer group can be obtained without charge by writing Ultrak,
Inc., 1220 Champion Circle, Suite 100, Carrollton, Texas 75006, Attention:
Investor Relations. Ultrak relied upon information provided by the University
of Chicago Center for Research in Securities Prices with respect to the peer
group stock performance. Ultrak did not attempt to validate the information
supplied to it other than to review it for reasonableness. The comparison
assumes $100 was invested on December 29, 1989 in Ultrak Common Stock and in
each of the foregoing indices and assumes reinvestment of dividends, if any.
Adjustments have been made to give retroactive effect to the December 1993
one-for-six reverse stock split.

DESCRIPTION OF ULTRAK'S CAPITAL STOCK
GENERAL
Common Stock. The Ultrak Charter authorizes 50,000,000 shares of Common
Stock with no par value. Effective as of December 28, 1993, the Ultrak Charter
was amended to, among other things, eliminate the Class A Non-Voting Stock.
None of these shares are issued and outstanding. Each record holder of shares
of Ultrak Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on
all matters properly submitted to the shareholders of Ultrak for their vote.
Cumulative voting is not authorized by the Articles of Incorporation. A quorum
at any shareholders meeting consists of more than a majority of the stock
outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting.
Preferred Stock. The Ultrak Charter authorizes 2,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, $5.00 par value. As of December 28, 1993, there was one series
of Preferred Stock designated: Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred
Stock is entitled to 16.667 votes per share. As of December 31, 1994, there
were 195,351 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and all
of such shares are owned by Mr. Broady. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
are entitled to preferential dividends payable quarterly and accruing at a rate
of 12% per annum on the original purchase price of $5.00 per share. Upon
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Ultrak, holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock are entitled to receive the original purchase price of $5.00
plus any unpaid dividends (the "Liquidation Value") accruing to that date in
preference to holders of Ultrak Common Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible into 2.083 shares of Ultrak Common Stock at the option of
the holder. Ultrak's Preferred Stock may be issued in series from time to time
with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as the Board of
Directors of Ultrak may determine by resolution. The potential exists,
therefore, that additional Preferred Stock might be issued which would grant
dividend preferences and liquidation preferences to preferred shareholders over
holders of Ultrak Common Stock. Unless the nature of a particular transaction
and applicable statutes require such approval, the Board of Directors has the
authority to issue Preferred Stock without shareholder approval. The issuance
of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of Ultrak without any further action by shareholders.
DIVIDENDS
Holders of Ultrak Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and
as declared by Ultrak's Board of Directors out of legally available funds after
all dividends to holders of Ultrak's Preferred Stock have been paid. Any such
dividends may be paid in cash, property, or shares of Ultrak Common Stock.
MISCELLANEOUS RIGHTS AND PROVISIONS
The shares of Ultrak Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights,
no redemption or sinking fund provisions, and are not liable to further call or
assessment. The outstanding shares of Ultrak Common Stock are, and any shares
of Ultrak Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger will be, fully paid and
nonassessable. Each share of Ultrak Common Stock is entitled to share ratably
in any asset available for distribution to holders of Ultrak Common Stock upon
liquidation of Ultrak after holders of Ultrak's Preferred Stock have received
the liquidation value of their shares.

therefore makes available annual reports to its shareholders containing audited

deems appropriate.

ULTRAK'S DIVIDEND POLICY
Ultrak has never paid any dividends to its common shareholders. Currently,
it is the intention of Ultrak not to pay any dividends to the holders of Ultrak
Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Management of Ultrak intends to
reinvest earnings available to common shareholders in the development and
expansion of Ultrak's business. The declaration in the future of any cash
dividends on Ultrak Common Stock will be at the discretion of the board of
directors and will depend upon the earnings, capital requirements and financial
position of Ultrak, general economic conditions, and other pertinent factors.
Ultrak's loan and security agreements with its financial institutions require
the lender's prior written consent to Ultrak's payment of cash dividends on
Ultrak Common Stock. To the extent allowed by Ultrak's loan agreements,
47
<PAGE> 53
Ultrak does intend to pay dividends on its shares of Series A Stock all of
which are owned by George K. Broady, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer, and President of Ultrak. Annual preferred stock dividends in the
amount of $117,210 were paid to Mr. Broady during each of 1994, 1993, and 1992.

ULTRAK MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
Results of Operations - Continuing Operations:
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, net sales increased $7,377,814
(20%) over the comparable 1994 period. This growth was due primarily (90%) to
increased volume of sales of existing CCTV products to all of the markets that
Ultrak serves. New products introduced by Ultrak during the first and second
quarters of 1995 contributed approximately (10%) of the increase in net sales.
In comparison, for the six months ended June 30, 1995, cost of goods sold
increased $5,924,166 (21%) over the comparable 1994 period. This increase was
essentially in direct relationship to the overall CCTV increase in net sales.
The overall gross profit percentage decreased to (24.12%) for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 from (25.01%) for the six months ended June 30,
1994. The decrease in gross profit percentages was due primarily to competitive
market conditions and a strategic decision by Ultrak to be the industry value
leader.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, other operating expenses increased
$1,268,493 (19%) over the comparable 1994 period. This increase was primarily
due to increased engineering, product development, and sales and marketing
costs including personnel, travel and other related costs commensurate with the
overall increase in sales and the strategic plan to build the market for
greater sales in the future. In addition, new product promotion costs were
incurred during the first and second quarters including advertising, printing,
product shows, and other promotional activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, other (income) expenses increased
$384,842 (97%) over the comparable 1994 period because of increased interest
expense on higher borrowings due to greater prime interest rates offset
somewhat by interest income on notes receivable and miscellaneous income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Ultrak's cash management policy is to directly apply all cash proceeds to
offset bank debt. Ultrak had a net decrease in cash for the six month period
ended June 30, 1995 of $642,241. Net cash used in operating activities was
$135,139, primarily because of increases in accounts and notes receivable,
prepaid expenses and inventory on hand related to higher sales during the
period and reductions in advances for inventory.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1995 was $766,345 primarily for capital expenditures for office and warehouse
equipment, upgrades to Ultrak's computer system, leasehold improvements, and
increases in noncurrent notes receivable.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1995 was $259,243 from a net increase during the quarter in borrowings on
Ultrak's two lines of credit and payment of dividends on preferred stock.
50
<PAGE> 56
As of June 30, 1995, Ultrak had unused available lines of credit totaling
approximately $3.5 million.
On July 18, 1995, Ultrak's credit facility with its bank was amended as
follows:
(i) The revolving line of credit facility was increased to $17.5 million
from $15.0 million;
(ii) A new term loan facility secured by real estate and equipment of up to
$2.5 million was established with a payout on a ten year amortization
and a due date of July 31, 1997;
(iii) The contract interest rate for both facilities was lowered to floating
prime plus .25%, from prime plus .50%, with an option at LIBOR plus
2.50%;
(iv) The due date of the revolving line of credit facility was extended to
July 31, 1997 from September 27, 1995; and
(v) Certain financial and operation covenants were modified.
Ultrak will continue to be dependent upon its bank and other lender
financing to fund its operations. Ultrak anticipates that its current
operations and future growth will be financed through increased lines of credit
and internally generated profits. Ultrak believes such sources of funds will be
adequate for its projected needs for the next twelve (12) months. Ultrak may
attempt to raise additional equity capital if sales increase faster than
planned or if it is otherwise deemed advantageous to do so.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
Results of Operations - Continuing Operations:
For the year ended December 31, 1994, sales from continuing operations were
$78,793,711, an increase of $26,381,740 (50%) over 1993. This growth was due
primarily (70%) to increased volume of sales of existing CCTV products to all
of the markets that Ultrak serves. New products introduced by Ultrak during
1994 contributed approximately (30%) of the increase in sales.
In comparison, cost of sales were $59,349,708 for the year ended December
31, 1994, an increase of $19,796,194 (50%) over 1993. This increase was in a
virtual direct relationship to the overall CCTV increase in sales. Gross
margins on sales increased to (24.68%) in 1994 from (24.53%) in 1993, primarily
because of new product sales at higher margins, offset by competition in the
CCTV market and a strategic decision by Ultrak to be an industry value leader.
Marketing and sales expenses were $11,201,460 for the year ended December
31, 1994, an increase of $4,175,946 (59%) over 1993. This increase was due to
additional CCTV sales and sales support staff and related costs incurred to
support the increased level of CCTV sales, travel, and related costs and
increased marketing, advertising, and promotional costs.
General and administrative expenses were $3,132,857 for the year ended
December 31, 1994, an increase of $954,934 (44%) from 1993 due to additional
administrative staff and related costs necessary to support the increase in
sales.
51
<PAGE> 57
Other expenses were $807,155 for the year ended December 31, 1994, an
increase of $172,538 (27%) over 1993. This increase was due primarily to
increased interest costs on borrowings offset by interest income on notes
receivable.
Results of Operations - Discontinued Operations. On July 22, 1993, Ultrak
announced that it would discontinue its personal computer ("PC") products
business segment and concentrate its resources on the CCTV business segment. As
a result of this decision, the operations and net assets of the PC business
segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods
presented.
During the year ended December 31, 1994, Ultrak recorded an additional
provision of $190,000, net of income tax benefit, to reflect costs of
dissolution of the business as well as provision for expected settlement costs
of the remaining lawsuit relating to the discontinued operations.
Sales included in discontinued operations for the year ended December 31,
1994, 1993, and 1992 were $110,720, $19,232,836 and $9,677,585, respectively
(not included in net sales reported from continuing operations above).
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Ultrak had a net increase in cash for the year ended December 31, 1994 of
approximately $142,000. Cash used in operating activities during 1994 was
approximately $3,517,000, primarily because of increases in accounts
receivable, inventory, and advances for inventory required by the significantly
higher sales volume. Cash used in investing activities was approximately
$1,925,000 for capital expenditures for furniture, fixtures, tooling, leasehold
improvements, and other fixed assets and acquisition of business. Cash provided
by financing activities was approximately $5,584,000, consisting of net
borrowings from Ultrak's bank and other lenders. It is expected that the
Company should begin to generate positive annual operating cash flows when its
growth slows to a more traditional level.
During 1994, Ultrak advanced a net total of $699,000 on notes receivable to
three parties. The largest advance ($500,000) was to Veravision, Inc., a
California corporation, for a working capital line of credit in consideration
of interest on the borrowed funds and warrants to purchase Veravision's capital
stock. Veravision, formed in 1993, is a manufacturer of dental camera products
for which Ultrak has exclusive United States marketing rights. All of the notes
have varying repayment terms, interest rates and other terms. See Note H to
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1993, and 1992.
As of December 31, 1994, Ultrak had unused available lines of credit
totaling approximately $1,956,000.
On October 31, 1994, Ultrak's revolving line of credit with NationsBank of
Texas, N.A. was increased from $12.0 million to $13.2 million. The NationsBank
revolving line of credit was further increased during February 1995 from $13.2
million to $15.0 million. On October 4, 1994, Petrus Fund, L.P., of which Perot
Investments is the general partner, increased its revolving line of credit to
Ultrak from $6.0 million to $7.0 million and provided for the further increase
of the line of credit from $7.0 million to $8.0 million upon Ultrak achieving
certain net income requirements. In conjunction with the amendments to both
loan agreements, certain financial and operational covenants were modified. All
other terms and conditions of the loan agreements were unchanged.
52
<PAGE> 58
Concurrently with the amendment to the Petrus loan agreement, the warrant
issued to Petrus to acquire Ultrak Common Stock was amended to reflect that the
warrant exercise price was reduced from $9.00 per share to $8.00 per share, and
the number of Shares of Ultrak Common Stock subject to the warrant was
increased from 154,762 to 200,000.
Both of Ultrak's amended credit facilities contain financial covenants,
including leverage ratios, as defined, of not more than 2.75 to 1.0; current
ratios, as defined, of at least 1.20 to 1.0, working capital requirements,
limitations on capital expenditures and minimum net income requirements, among
others. Operational covenants contained in the credit agreements include
limitations on the sale of assets, prohibitions against liens on collateral,
limitations on indebtedness and contingent liabilities, prohibitions against
changes in management, payment of dividends and acquisitions of assets, among
others.
Ultrak will continue to be dependent upon its bank and other lender
financing to fund its operations. Ultrak anticipates that its current
operations and future growth will be financed primarily through increased lines
of credit and internally generated profits. Ultrak believes such sources of
funds will be adequate for its projected needs for the next twelve (12) months.
Ultrak may attempt to raise additional equity capital if sales increase faster
than planned or if it is otherwise deemed advantageous to do so.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992
Results of Operations - Continuing Operations:
For the year ended December 31, 1993, sales from continuing operations were
$52,411,971, an increase of $23,547,493 (82%) over 1992. This growth was due to
increased sales of CCTV products to all of the markets that Ultrak serves.
In comparison, cost of sales were $39,553,514 for the year ended December
31, 1993, an increase of $18,056,665 (84%) over 1992. This increase was due to
overall CCTV sales increases, new product sales, and new mass retail outlet
sales. Gross margins on sales decreased to (24.5%) in 1993 from (25.5%) in
1992, primarily because of competition in the CCTV market and a strategic
decision by Ultrak to be an industry value leader.
Marketing and sales expenses were $7,025,514 for the year ended December
31, 1993, an increase of $2,446,861 (53%) over 1992. This increase was due to
additional CCTV sales and sales support staff and related costs incurred to
support the increased level of CCTV sales, marketing costs to support sales,
and increased advertising and promotional costs.
General and administrative expenses were $2,177,923 for the year ended
December 31, 1993, an increase of $667,565 (44%) from 1992 due to additional
administrative staff and related costs necessary to support the increase in
sales.
Other expenses were $634,617 for the year ended December 31, 1993, a
decrease of $74,158 (10%) over 1992. This decrease was due primarily to
interest income on notes receivable offset by increased interest costs.
During the fourth quarter of 1993, Ultrak determined it was more likely
than not that a portion of its deferred tax valuation allowance was realizable.
This determination was a result of the profits from continuing operations in
1993 and the forecasted profits for 1994. A deferred tax valuation allowance
still
53
<PAGE> 59
remains for deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards,
use of which are limited by Section 382 of the Code.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Ultrak had a net decrease in cash for the year ended December 31, 1993 of
approximately $323,000. Cash used in operating activities during 1993 was
approximately $4,394,000, primarily because of increases in accounts
receivable, inventory and advances for inventory required by the significantly
higher sales volume. Cash used in investing activities was approximately
$1,309,000, primarily for capital expenditures for furniture, fixtures and
other fixed assets and funding of notes receivable. Cash provided by financing
activities was approximately $5,380,000, consisting of net borrowings from
Ultrak's bank and other lenders.
As of December 31, 1993, Ultrak had unused available lines of credit
totaling approximately $5,410,000.
BUSINESS OF GPS
GENERAL
GPS manufactures and sells high-end integrated security and surveillance
systems used by systems integrators for outdoor perimeter protection of power
plants, military installations, commercial security, and high-end residential
applications. Effective August 1, 1995, GPS relocated its operations to Dallas,
Texas consolidating its headquarters with Ultrak, located at 1220 Champion
Circle, Suite 100, Carrollton, Texas 75006, and its telephone number is (214)
280- 9675.
OUTDOOR PERIMETER PRODUCTS
GPS manufactures a series of sophisticated outdoor perimeter sensors which
include the Ground Pressure System, Infrared Pulsed System, and the Wire
Protection System. These sensors using multiplexed technology offer state of
the art perimeter protection for facilities ranging from power plants, to
refineries, to high security prisons. GPS customers have freedom and
flexibility as to the application of these systems due to their ease of
installation and immunity to environmental disturbances.
DIGITAL VIDEO ACQUISITION AND TRACKING SYSTEMS
The VISI-TRAK (a registered trademark of GPS) family of digital video
acquisition and tracking ("DVAT") processors offers state of the art automated
surveillance and perimeter protection. A high speed 32-bit processor digitizes
and analyzes standard video signals searching for moving targets within the
video picture while ignoring the natural movement of shadows, clouds, rain, and
lightning. At the heart of the system is the proprietary DVAT visualizer which
identifies moving objects in a succession of video frames and produces
targeting data (location, size, velocity, and trajectory) for each object.
Using an automatic tracking pan tilt and zoom device, the system predicts
and anticipates a target's movement and automatically, without a user's
interface, develops a trajectory and follows it. Continuous variable zoom and
focus capability allows the VISI-TRAK system to automatically adjust the zoom
factor based on the target's position within the observed scene.
54
<PAGE> 60
COMPUTERIZED GUARD TOUR FOR AUTOMATED VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
The VISI-TOUR (a registered trademark of GPS) console system is a WINDOWS
(a registered trademark of MicroSoft Corporation) based powerful platform
providing highly compatible and advanced graphics with on-screen command and
control functions for CCTV cameras, matrix switchers, and video recording.
VISI-TOUR allows the user to create computerized guard tours for automated
video surveillance. By simply saving a "shot," VISI-TOUR saves all pertinent
information about the camera including pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings. As
a result, the operator can create custom or random video guard tours with
individual viewing times and titles for each camera location and position.
INDUSTRIAL VIEWING SYSTEMS
GPS's specialty enclosures and positioning devices made from stainless
steel provide the necessary protected environment for camera viewing systems
under harsh conditions, including, but not limited to, high temperature furnace
operations, volatile and explosive conditions in refineries and fuel processing
plants, marine environments, and other corrosive environments.
CCTV ACCESSORIES AND CONTROLS
GPS has recently introduced MEGA MATRIX (a registered trademark of GPS),
which is a series of technologically advanced matrix switching systems and a
new generation of miniaturized environmental enclosures made from nylon. These
products offer advanced features over similar existing technologies at a
fraction of the cost. Their versatility and unique distributed intelligence and
architecture will offer GPS customers greater flexibility and features over
conventional systems.
OPERATIONS
GPS's operations are located in Dallas, Texas, and its manufacturing/
suppliers are located in the valley of Aosta, Northern Italy and Venice, Italy,
respectively. The design and prototype fabrication is led by a group of
engineers in the Dallas facility. After the manufacturing process is
completed, a series of products are imported for final assembly and testing in
the US based facility. GPS's computer design facilities include all hardware
and software necessary to develop and test the integrated systems both for
local and remote operations.
DISTRIBUTION
GPS's products are sold to wholesale distributors (which supply dealers
that sell to the end user), installing system integrators (which deal directly
with the end user), and large dealers (which deal directly with the end user),
and directly to the end user (typically large corporations which have their own
installing capacity and internal security).
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
GPS relies upon the trademarks "GPS, WPS, IPS, MEGA MATRIX, ULTRADUR,
VISI-TOUR, VISI-TRAK, AND VISI-PHONE" for its products.
55
<PAGE> 61
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS
GPS's business is not materially affected by existing or probable
government regulations on GPS or its products.
COMPARISON WITH ULTRAK'S PRODUCTS
GPS's products compliment and enhance the use and sale of Ultrak's
products. As a result, the GPS product line will greatly expand Ultrak's
product line with products that offer enhanced features at competitive prices
in the market place. There is minimal overlap between GPS's and Ultrak's
products.

GPS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
Results of Operations - Continuing Operations:
For the year ended June 30, 1995, net sales increased $398,429 (31%) over
the comparable 1994 period. This growth was due primarily (80%) to increased
volume of sales of existing products to all of the markets that GPS serves. New
products introduced by GPS during fiscal 1995 contributed approximately (20%)
of the increase in net sales.
In comparison, for the year ended June 30, 1995, cost of goods sold
increased $322,884 (38%) over the comparable 1994 period. This increase was
essentially in direct relationship to the overall increase in net sales, net of
provisions recorded for physical inventory adjustments.
The overall gross profit percentage decreased to (33.88%) for the year
ended June 30, 1995 from (40.52%) for the year ended June 30, 1994. The
decrease in gross profit percentages in 1995 was due primarily to competitive
market conditions and certain inventory adjustments taken in conjunction with
the year end physical count.
For the year ended June 30, 1995, operating expenses increased $288,780
(47%) over the comparable 1994 period. This increase was primarily due to
increased sales and marketing costs including advertising, promotion,
personnel, travel, and other related costs commensurate with the overall
increase in sales and certain research and development costs for new product
development.
For the year ended June 30, 1995, other (income) expense decreased $2,869
(41%) over the comparable 1994 period because of certain non operating income
earned during the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
GPS had a net increase in cash for the year ended June 30, 1995 of $67,002.
Net cash used in operating activities was $285,000, primarily because of
increases in prepaid expenses and inventory on hand related to higher sales
during the period and reductions in trade accounts payable offset by a
reduction in trade accounts receivable and an increase in accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 1995 was
$104,000 primarily for capital expenditures for tooling and molds, office and
warehouse equipment, upgrades to GPS's computer system, and the purchase of
certain OEM license agreements.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 1995
was $456,000 primarily from $400,000 in new capital contributed by the primary
investor and a net increase during the period in borrowings on GPS's note with
its primary investor.
58
<PAGE> 64
As of June 30, 1995, GPS continues to be dependent upon its primary
investor and internally generated cash to fund its operations. GPS believes
such sources of funds will be adequate for its projected needs for the next
twelve (12) months.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ultrak, Inc.

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 Ultrak, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the three years

Organization and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Ultrak, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Inventories
Inventories are comprised of goods held for resale, which are valued at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Advances for Inventory
Advances for inventory represents payments in advance for goods purchased
primarily from the Far East. Upon receipt, the advances are classified as
inventories.
Furniture and Equipment and Depreciation

is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets ranging from three to ten years.
Goodwill and Amortization
Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is being amortized using the
straight-line method over periods ranging from twenty to forty years. On an
ongoing basis, management reviews the valuation and amortization of goodwill
to determine possible impairment by comparing the carrying value to the
undiscounted future cash flows of the related business unit.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method, under which
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to
be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, there were no cash
equivalents.
Income Per Common Share
Income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
period. Common equivalent shares result from the assumed issuance of shares
under the Company's incentive stock option plan, warrants and convertible
preferred stock, if dilutive.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years to conform with the
1994 presentation.
NOTE B - ACQUISITION OF JAK PACIFIC VIDEO WARRANTY AND REPAIR SERVICES, INC.

the accompanying balance sheet as goodwill and is being amortized over
twenty years.

NOTE D - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The stockholders of Ultrak, Inc., voting at a special meeting of
stockholders held December 17, 1993, approved, effective December 28, 1993,
an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation and a concurrent
one-for-six reverse stock split of shares of the Company's common stock.
Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect
the reverse stock split.
The amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation changed the number
of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 50,000,000 shares
(before the reverse stock split) to 20,000,000 shares (after the reverse
stock split); eliminated the authorization of the Company's Class A
Non-Voting Common Stock, $.01 par value, Series A 8% Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock and Senior Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock (none of which was outstanding); amended the rights and preferences of
the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock to, among other things, increase
the relative voting rights of holders of that Series, and made other changes
in the rights and preferences of that Series to give effect to the reverse
stock split.
Preferred Stock
The Company's Amended Articles of Incorporation authorize issuance in series
of up to 2,000,000 shares of $5 par value preferred stock, of which 195,351
shares have been designated as Series A, 12% cumulative convertible
preferred stock.
The Series A Preferred Stock earns dividends at the rate of 12% per annum,
beginning January 1, 1991, payable quarterly. All dividends accrue whether
or not such dividends have been declared and whether or not there are
profits, surplus, or other funds of the Company legally available for
payment.
The Company may at any time redeem all or any portion of the Series A
Preferred Stock then outstanding at the liquidation value of $5 plus unpaid
dividends. A holder of Series A Preferred Stock may convert all or any of
the shares into shares of the Company's Common Stock at any time at a

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT, dated August 1, 1995 (the "Signing Date"), is among
BLC & Associates, Inc., a California corporation doing business as G.P.S.
Standard U.S.A. ("GPS"), Mathiew Bais ("Bais"), Commodore Investments Ltd., a
Liberian corporation ("CIL") (Bais and CIL are collectively referred to as the
"Signing Shareholders"), Ultrak, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Ultrak"), and
GPS Acquisition Corp., a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Ultrak ("Newco").
Recitals. The Boards of Directors of GPS, Ultrak, and Newco deem it
in the best interests of their respective shareholders that a merger (the
"Merger") is consummated whereby Newco is merged with and into GPS. GPS, the
Signing Shareholders, Ultrak, and Newco desire to set forth the terms of the
Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the terms of
this Agreement, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I: THE MERGER
1.01. The Merger. Upon the performance of all covenants and
obligations of the parties contained herein and upon the fulfillment (or
waiver) of all conditions to the obligations of the parties contained herein,
on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) and pursuant to the provisions of
the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA") and the California General
Corporation Law (the "CGCL"), Newco will be merged with and into GPS, which
will be the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"), in accordance
with Articles of Merger to be filed in Texas and the Certificate of Merger to
be filed in California (collectively, the "Certificates of Merger"). The
"Closing Date" means such date, as provided in Subsection 1.03(e) of this
Agreement, on which the Certificates of Merger shall be filed in accordance
with the TBCA and the CGCL, and the date the Merger will become effective in
accordance with the Certificates of Merger.
1.02. Effect on Stock. As a result of the Merger, on the Closing Date
and without any action on the part of GPS, Ultrak, or Newco, or any holder of
any of the following securities, the following will occur:
(a) Except as provided in Section 1.06, each share of
Common Stock, no par value per share, of GPS ("GPS Stock") issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date will cease to be
outstanding and will be converted into the right to receive such
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, no par
value per share, of Ultrak (the "Ultrak Stock") as is equal to the
quotient of (i) 176,470 divided by (ii) the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of GPS Stock as of the Closing Date. If all shares
of GPS Stock issued and outstanding on the Closing Date are converted
into shares of Ultrak Common Stock, then the maximum number of shares
of Ultrak Common Stock that will be issued under this Subsection
1.02(a) will be 176,470.
(b) Any treasury stock of GPS will be cancelled and
retired and cease to exist. No cash, securities, or other
consideration will be delivered in exchange for such treasury shares.
A-1
<PAGE> 96
(c) Each share of Common Stock, no par value, of Newco
("Newco Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Closing Date will cease to be outstanding and will be converted into
the right to receive one share of Common Stock, no par value, of the
Surviving Corporation.
1.03. Exchange and Cancellation of Certificates.
(a) Ultrak shall authorize Securities Transfer Corp. to serve as
exchange agent hereunder (the "Exchange Agent"). Promptly after the Closing
Date, Ultrak shall deposit with the Exchange Agent certificates representing
the shares of Ultrak Stock to which the holders of GPS Stock (other than
holders of Dissenting Shares) are entitled pursuant to this Article I.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Exchange
Agent shall mail and otherwise make available to each record holder who, as of
the Closing Date, was a holder ("Shareholder") of certificates representing
outstanding shares of GPS Stock (the "Certificates"), a form of letter of
transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Certificates for payment therefor and conversion thereof, which letter of
transmittal shall comply with all applicable Nasdaq National Market ("NASDAQ")
rules. Upon proper delivery of the letter of transmittal to the Exchange
Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange
therefor a certificate representing the shares of Ultrak Stock to which such
holder of GPS Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of
this Article I and the Certificates surrendered shall be cancelled. No
interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon surrender of the
Certificates. Ultrak shall pay any transfer taxes required by reason of the
issuance of a certificate representing Ultrak Stock; provided, however that
such certificate is issued in the name of the person in whose name the
Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered; provided further,
however, that Ultrak shall not pay any transfer taxes if the obligation to pay
such tax under applicable law is solely that of the Shareholder or if payment
of any such tax by Ultrak otherwise would cause the Merger to fail to qualify
as a tax free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). From the Closing Date until surrender in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 1.03, each Certificate (other than Certificates
representing treasury shares of GPS and Certificates representing Dissenting
Shares) shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive the
consideration provided in this Article I. All payments in respect of shares of
GPS Stock that are made in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to
have been made in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such
securities.
(c) In the case of any lost, mislaid, stolen, or destroyed
Certificates, the holder thereof may be required, as a condition precedent to
the delivery to such holder of the consideration described in this Article I,
to deliver to the Exchange Agent a bond in such reasonable sum as Ultrak or the
Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made
against Ultrak or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to
have been lost, mislaid, stolen, or destroyed.
(d) After the Closing Date, there shall be no transfers on the
stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of GPS Stock
that were outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date. If, after the
Closing Date, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for
transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the consideration described
in this Article I.
(e) If the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) is
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or
before the 120th day after the Signing Date, GPS, Newco, and Ultrak, as soon as
practicable after such date that the SEC declares the Registration Statement
A-2
<PAGE> 97
effective, shall cause the Certificates of Merger to be filed in accordance
with the TBCA and the CGCL and the Shareholders shall receive the number of
shares of Ultrak Stock equal to the number of shares set forth in Subsection
1.02(a) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on
or before the 120th day after the Signing Date, then GPS, Newco, and Ultrak, as
soon as practicable after the 120th day following the Signing Date, shall cause
the Certificates of Merger to be filed in accordance with the TBCA and the CGCL
and the Shareholders shall receive the number of restricted shares of Ultrak
Stock equal to the number of shares set forth in Subsection 1.02(a) of this
Agreement. If the Shareholders receive restrictive shares of Ultrak Stock as
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then the Shareholders shall
also receive such registration rights as set forth in Article II of this
Agreement.
1.04. S-4 Registration Statement; Information Statement; Blue Sky
Laws. Ultrak and GPS acknowledge that the transactions contemplated hereby are
subject to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). GPS, Ultrak, and their respective affiliates will (a)
cooperate in the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-4
(the "Registration Statement" ), which will include an information statement to
be delivered to GPS's Shareholders (the "Information Statement") with respect
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) use all their
reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the
SEC and the Information Statement therein cleared by the SEC as promptly as
possible. GPS and Ultrak will each use all their reasonable efforts to obtain
and respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff on the Registration
Statement. Each of GPS, Ultrak, and Newco agrees to provide promptly to the
other such information concerning its business and financial statements and
affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of the other party or its counsel, may
be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in
any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to
cooperate with the other's counsel and auditors in the preparation of the
Registration Statement. Each affiliate of GPS ("Affiliates"), as the term
"affiliates" is defined pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), shall be, as the case may be, restricted by Rule
145(d) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act in connection with the resale
of the shares of Ultrak Stock acquired pursuant to the Merger.
1.05. Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the
Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a "plan of reorganization" for
the purposes of Section 368 of the Code.
1.06. Dissenting Shares. To the extent that appraisal rights are
available under the CGCL, shares of GPS Stock that are issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Closing Date and that have not been voted for adoption
of the Merger and with respect of which appraisal rights have been properly
demanded in accordance with the applicable provisions of the CGCL ("Dissenting
Shares") shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration
provided for in this Article I at or after the Closing Date unless and until
the holder of such shares withdraws his demand for such appraisal (in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the CGCL) or becomes ineligible
for such appraisal. If a holder of Dissenting Shares withdraws his demand for
such appraisal (in accordance with the applicable provisions of the CGCL) or
becomes ineligible for such appraisal, then, as of the Closing Date or the
occurrence of such event, whichever later occurs, such holder's Dissenting
Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and
represent the right to receive the consideration provided for in this Article
I. If any holder of GPS Stock shall assert the right to be paid for the fair
value of such GPS Stock as described above, GPS shall give Ultrak notice
thereof and Ultrak shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to any such demands. GPS shall not, except with the
prior
A-3
<PAGE> 98
written consent of Ultrak, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or
settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment.
1.07. Signing Shareholders' Approval. The Signing Shareholders agree
to the terms of the Merger and this Agreement and agree to vote all of their
shares of GPS Stock in favor of the Merger.
1.08. Effective Date for Accounting Purposes. To the fullest extent
possible, the effective date of the Merger for accounting purposes will be July
1, 1995 and the effective date of the transfer of control of GPS will be July
1, 1995.
ARTICLE II: REGISTRATION RIGHTS
2.01. Registration.
(a) If, at any time within two (2) years after the
Closing Date, Ultrak proposes to file a registration statement (on any
form other than Form S-4 or Form S-8) relating to any of the Ultrak
Stock or other securities under the Securities Act, whether or not for
sale for its own account, Ultrak will promptly, but in any event not
less than 30 days prior to the initial filing of such registration
statement, deliver written notice of such intention to the holders of
Registrable Shares (as hereinafter defined) setting forth the type of
securities proposed to be registered, the intended method of
disposition, the maximum proposed offering price, commissions and
discounts in connection therewith and other relevant information.
Such notice must indicate that such holders of Registrable Shares have
piggyback registration rights pursuant to this Subsection 2.01(a). As
used in this Agreement, "Registrable Shares" shall at any point in
time mean shares of the Ultrak Stock which are either held by the
Shareholders or held by persons to whom the Shareholders have
transferred, in a private transaction, shares of the Ultrak Stock. If
all, and not less than all, of the holders of Registrable Shares so
request within 20 days after such notification, Ultrak hereby agrees
to include in such registration statement all of the Registrable
Shares and to use its best efforts to register such Registrable Shares
so that such Registrable Shares may be sold at such times and in such
manner as the holder or holders thereof shall determine; provided
however each Affiliate, as the term "affiliate" is defined pursuant to
the Exchange Act, shall be, as the case may be, restricted by Rule
145(d) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act in connection with
the resale of the shares of the Ultrak Stock acquired pursuant to the
Merger. In the event that the proposed registration by Ultrak is, in
whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities of
Ultrak, any request pursuant to this Subsection 2.01(a) to register
may specify that the Registrable Shares be included in the
underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the shares of the
Ultrak Stock, if any, otherwise being sold through underwriters under
such registration; provided however each Affiliate, as the term
"affiliate" is defined pursuant to the Exchange Act, shall be, as the
case may be, restricted by Rule 145(d) promulgated pursuant to the
Securities Act in connection with the resale of the shares of the
Ultrak Stock acquired pursuant to the Merger.
(b) One (1) year following the Closing Date and
thereafter, the holders of Registrable Shares may request, one time
and one time only, that Ultrak promptly file and use its best efforts
to cause to become effective an appropriate registration statement
under the Securities Act covering all and not less than all of the
Registrable Shares as such holders shall request and to register the
sale of such Registrable Shares so that such Registrable Shares may be
sold at such
A-4
<PAGE> 99
times and in such manner as the holders thereof shall determine;
provided however each Affiliate, as the term "affiliate" is defined
pursuant to the Exchange Act, shall be, as the case may be, restricted
by Rule 145(d) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act in
connection with the resale of the shares of the Ultrak Stock acquired
pursuant to the Merger and provided further that Ultrak shall not be
required to obtain or continue the effectiveness of such registration
statement after two (2) years from the Closing Date. Registrations
under this Subsection 2.01(b) shall be on an appropriate registration
form of the SEC. Ultrak agrees to include in any such registration
statement all information which holders of Registrable Shares being
registered shall reasonably request. If the registration pursuant to
this Subsection 2.01(b) involves an underwritten offering, the
underwriter or underwriters shall be selected by the holders of a
majority of Registrable Shares to be included in such registration.
(c) If (i) a registration pursuant to this Section 2.01
either involves an underwritten offering, or would be in effect at the
same time as another underwritten offering, of the Ultrak Stock,
whether or not for sale by Ultrak, to be distributed on a firm
commitment basis by or through one or more underwriters of recognized
standing under underwriting terms that are typical for such a
transaction and (ii) the managing underwriter of such underwritten
offering informs Ultrak and the holders of Registrable Shares
requesting such registration by letter of its reasonable belief that
the effect of including all of the Registrable Shares so requested to
be included in the registration statement will materially and
adversely affect the sale of the shares of the Ultrak Stock proposed
to be sold by Ultrak and shareholders of Ultrak (other than
management) having contractual registration rights, then the number of
shares of the Ultrak Stock that a holder of Registrable Shares may
have included in such registration shall be reduced (and the number of
shares of the Ultrak Stock to be sold by other selling shareholders
shall also be reduced) to a number determined by multiplying (x) the
total number of shares held by all selling shareholders having
contractual registration rights (including the holders of Registrable
Shares) which the managing underwriter is willing to have included in
such registration, times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of Registrable Shares which such holder requested to be
included in such registration statement and the denominator of which
is the number of all shares (including the Registrable Shares) which
all the selling shareholders having contractual registration rights
(other than management) have requested to be included in such
registration.
(d) In connection with any registrations under this
Section 2.01, the parties and their respective affiliates shall
cooperate and furnish information in the manner provided in Section
1.04 of this Agreement.
2.02. Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses in connection with
the registration of any Registrable Shares under Section 2.01 of this Agreement
or the performance of Ultrak's obligations under Section 2.01 of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, all registration, filing, stock
exchange and NASD fees; all fees and expenses of complying with securities or
blue sky laws; fees and disbursements of counsel for Ultrak, counsel
responsible for qualifying the Registrable Shares under blue sky laws, not more
than one firm of attorneys retained by the holders of Registrable Shares being
registered, and of independent accountants and other experts of Ultrak; and all
other reasonable expenses in connection with the transfer and delivery of the
Registrable Shares, shall be borne by Ultrak; provided, however, that Ultrak
shall not be obligated to pay any underwriting commissions or discounts
relating to the Registrable Shares.
2.03. Indemnification.
A-5
<PAGE> 100
(a) Ultrak hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each holder of Registrable Shares requesting or joining in a
registration hereunder and each other person, if any, who controls
such holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses, joint or several,
to which such holder or controlling person may become subject under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
covering the Registrable Shares, any preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or in an amendment
or supplement thereto executed by or on behalf of Ultrak or based upon
written information furnished by or on behalf of Ultrak filed in any
jurisdiction in order to qualify the Registrable Shares under the
securities laws thereof or filed with the SEC, or arises out of or is
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 they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that Ultrak shall not be obligated to indemnify the
holder of Registrable Shares in any such case to the extent that any
such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is
based upon any untrue statement or omission relating to such holder or
the holder's method of distributing the Registrable Shares, or
otherwise, that was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with,
written information duly executed and furnished by the holder of
Registrable Shares specifically for use in the registration statement,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any application, as the
case may be.
(b) By requesting Registrable Shares to be covered by any
registration statement in accordance with this Agreement, each such
holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Ultrak, each of its
directors and each of its officers who have signed said registration
statement, and each person, if any, who controls Ultrak within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent
as the indemnification by the Ultrak provided for in Subsection
2.03(a) above, but only with respect to untrue statements or
omissions, if any, relating to such holder or the holder's method of
distributing the Registrable Shares, or otherwise, made in such
registration statement, prospectus contained therein, or amendment or
supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in
conformity with, written information duly executed and furnished by
the holder of Registrable Shares against whom indemnification is
sought to Ultrak specifically for use in the registration statement,
in the prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any application, as the case may be.
(c) Promptly after the receipt by an indemnified party
under Subsection 2.03(a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of
any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such
subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying
party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any
indemnified party except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to
the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the
defendants in any action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall have
been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or
parties shall have the right
A-6
<PAGE> 101
to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties (it being
understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable
for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel, which, in
the case of Subsection 2.03(a) above, shall be designated by the
Shareholder and which, in the case of Subsection 2.03(b) above, shall
be designated by the Ultrak). After notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense of any such action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
to such indemnified party under Subsection 2.03(a) or (b) above for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have
employed counsel in accordance with the proviso in the immediately
preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have
employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent
the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice of
commencement of the action, or (iii) the indemnifying party has
authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the
expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnification required by
this Article II shall be made by periodic payments during the course
of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses are incurred.
2.04. Exchange Act Registration. Ultrak agrees to maintain
registration of the Ultrak Stock under the Exchange Act, to timely file and
maintain all required reports and other filings with the SEC, and to take such
action as may from time to time be necessary to enable holders of Registrable
Shares to be able to sell pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the
Securities Act, unless otherwise restricted by this Agreement or unless sales
can be made without compliance with Rules 144 and 145 promulgated by the SEC
under the Securities Act.

United States of America or any state or any political subdivision thereof and
has paid or established adequate reserves for all taxes (including penalties
and interest) which have or may become due for the tax periods covered by such
returns, and any assessments which have been received by it. All such tax
returns or reports which are income tax returns or reports fairly reflect the
taxable income generated by GPS and the taxes of GPS for the periods covered
thereby. GPS is not delinquent in the payment of any tax, assessment, or
governmental charge, there is no tax deficiency or delinquency asserted against
GPS and there is no unpaid assessment, proposal for additional taxes,
deficiency or delinquency in the payment of any of the taxes of GPS that could
be asserted by any taxing authority, nor of any violation of any tax law.
There are no waivers or agreements by GPS for the extension of time for the
assessment of any tax as shown on such returns or reports with respect to GPS.
No audit of GPS with respect to taxes is pending or threatened. All monies
required to be withheld or collected by GPS from employees or customers for
income taxes, social security and unemployment insurance taxes and sales,
excise, and use taxes, and the portion of any such taxes to be paid by GPS to
governmental agencies, have been collected or withheld and either paid to the
respective governmental agencies or set aside for such purpose in the manner
required by applicable law and are properly reflected in the Financial
Statements or on the books and records of GPS.
3.09. Liabilities and Obligations. The Financial Statements reflect
all material liabilities or obligations of GPS, accrued, contingent, or
otherwise (asserted or unasserted), arising out of transactions effected or
events occurring on or prior to the Signing Date, other than liabilities and
obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business of GPS since July 1,
1995, which liabilities and obligations are not, individually or in the
aggregate, material to the condition (financial or otherwise), business or
operations of GPS. All reserves shown in the Financial Statements are
appropriate, reasonable, and sufficient to provide for the losses thereby
contemplated. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, GPS is not
liable upon or with respect to, or obligated in any other way to provide funds
in respect of or to guarantee or assume in any manner, any debt, obligation, or
liability of any person, corporation, association, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other entity, and GPS knows of no basis for the assertion of any
other claims, liabilities, or obligations of any nature or in any amount that
would be material to the condition (financial or otherwise), business, or
operations of GPS.

sponsor or maintain and GPS is not otherwise a party to, nor has it been in

collectively as the "ERISA Plans"), or any other pension, profit sharing, or
other retirement plan, fringe benefit plan, health, group insurance or other
welfare benefit plan, or other similar plan, agreement, policy or understanding
("Other Plans" and, together with ERISA Plans, the "Plans"), whether formal or

to create any such Plan. GPS is not now, nor has it been, a part of a
controlled group of corporations within the meaning of Section 414(b) of the
Code or a group of trades or businesses under common control within the meaning
of Section 414(c) of the Code. GPS has never sponsored, adopted, maintained or
been obligated to contribute to a single employer, multiple employer or

adopted, maintained, or been obligated to contribute to a Plan which is or ever
was subject to the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA and
Section 412 of the Code. GPS does not have any obligation in connection with
any Plan pursuant to the terms of a collective bargaining agreement. To the
best of GPS's knowledge, no Plan previously sponsored or maintained by GPS, or
to which GPS has otherwise been a party, has resulted in any material liability
or obligation for GPS other than as reflected on the Financial Statements.

effectiveness of any such license or agreement, and GPS does not know of any
basis for any such claim. Each of the Proprietary Rights is valid and
subsisting, has not been cancelled, abandoned, or otherwise terminated and, if

execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be

written action pursuant thereto, except as otherwise provided by the General
Corporation Law. As used herein, a "proxy" shall be deemed to mean a written
authorization signed by a shareholder or a shareholder's attorney in fact
giving another person or persons power to vote or consent in writing with
respect to the shares of such shareholder, and "Signed" as used herein shall be
deemed to mean the placing of such shareholder's name on the proxy, whether by

of any proxy shall comply with the provisions of Section 604 of the General
Corporation Law.

Board of Directors may appoint inspectors of election to act at the meeting and

any meeting of shareholders may, and on the request of any shareholder or a
shareholder's proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election, or persons to
replace any of those who so fail or refuse, at the meeting. The number of
inspectors shall be either one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the

may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all
shareholders. If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act, or
certificate of a majority shall be effective in all respects as the decision,
act, or certificate of all.
Section 9. SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS. Shares of this corporation owned by
a subsidiary shall not be entitled to vote on any matter. A subsidiary for
these purposes is defined as a corporation, the shares of which possessing more
than 25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled

Section 10. QUORUM; VOTE; WRITTEN CONSENT. The holders of a majority of
the voting shares shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders for
the transaction of any business. The shareholders present at a duly called or
held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until
adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less
than a quorum if any action taken, other than adjournment, is approved by at
least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. In the absence
of a quorum, any meeting of shareholders may be adjourned from time to time by
the vote of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business
may be transacted except as hereinbefore provided.
In the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall
elect. No shareholder shall be entitled to exercise the right of cumulative
voting at a meeting for the election of directors unless the candidate's name
or the candidates' names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and
the shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the
shareholder's intention to cumulate the shareholder's votes. If any one
shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes
for such candidates in nomination.
Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the
Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any action required or permitted to
be taken at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be authorized by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting.
Except in the election of directors by written consent in
C-4
<PAGE> 128
lieu of a meeting, and except as may otherwise be provided by the General
Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any action
which may be taken at any annual or special meeting may be taken without a
meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the
action so taken, shall be signed by holders of shares having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such
action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present
and voted. Directors may not be elected by written consent except by unanimous
written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors.
Notice of any shareholder approval pursuant to Section 310, 317, 1201 or 2007
without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given at
least ten days before the consummation of the action authorized by such
approval, and prompt notice shall be given of the taking of any other corporate
action approved by shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous
written consent to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented
in writing.
Section 11. BALLOT. Elections of directors at a meeting need not be by
ballot unless a shareholder demands election by ballot at the election and
before the voting begins. In all other matters, voting need not be by ballot.
Section 12. SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENTS. Notwithstanding the above
provisions in the event this corporation elects to become a close corporation,
an agreement between two or more shareholders thereof, if in writing and signed
by the parties thereof, may provide that in exercising any voting rights the
shares held by them shall be voted as provided therein or in Section 706, and
may otherwise modify these provisions as to shareholders' meetings and actions.

inquiry, using ordinary prudence, as a person in a like position would use
under similar circumstances. (Section 309).
Section 2. EXCEPTION FOR CLOSE CORPORATION. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 1, in the event that this corporation shall elect to
become a close corporation as defined in Section 158, its shareholders may
enter into a Shareholders' Agreement as provided in Section 300 (b). Said
Agreement may provide for the exercise of corporate powers and the management
of the business and affairs of this corporation by the shareholders, provided

Any such amendment reducing the number of directors to fewer than five cannot
be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a meeting or the shares
not consenting in writing in the case of action by written consent are equal to
more than sixteen and two-thirds percent of the outstanding shares. No
decrease in the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of
shortening the term of any incumbent director.
Section 4. ELECTION AND TERM. The initial Board of Directors shall
consist of the persons elected at the meeting of the incorporator, all of whom
shall hold office until the first annual meeting of shareholders and until
their successors have been elected and qualified, or until their earlier

Board is removed, an individual director shall not be removed when the votes

thereof which authorities, approves, or ratifies such contract or transaction.
ARTICLE VI
Corporate Opportunity
The officers, directors and other members of management of this
corporation shall be subject to the doctrine of "corporate opportunities" only
insofar as it applies to business opportunities in which this corporation has
expressed an interest as determined from time to time by this corporation's
board of directors as evidenced by resolutions appearing in the corporation'
minutes. Once such areas of interest are delineated, all such business
opportunities within such areas of interest which come to the attention of the
officers, directors, and other members of management of this corporation shall
be disclosed promptly to this corporation and made available to it. The board
of directors may reject any business opportunity presented to it and thereafter
any officer, director or other member of management may avail himself of such
opportunity. Until such time as this corporation, through its board of
directors, has designated an area of interest, the officers, directors and
other members of management of this corporation shall be free to engage in such
areas of interest on their own and this doctrine shall not limit the rights of
any officer, director or other member of management of this corporation to
continue a business existing prior to the time that such area of interest is
designated by the corporation. This provision shall
D-6
<PAGE> 148
not be construed to release any employee of this corporation (other than an
officer, director or member of management) from any duties which he may have to
this corporation.
ARTICLE VII
Indemnification
Directors and Others
1. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party o is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or
completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation),
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent
of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding
if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in 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 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 the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best
D-7
<PAGE> 149
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
2. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the corporation; but no indemnification shall be made in respect
of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action
or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication
of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which such
court deems proper.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of
the corporation has been successful on the merits in
D-8
<PAGE> 150
defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in this article or in
defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.
4. Any indemnification under paragraph 1 or 2 of this article
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met
the applicable standard of conduct set forth in said paragraphs 1 or 2. Such
determination shall be made by the board of directors by a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or
proceeding, or, if such a quorum is not obtainable or even if obtainable a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or by the shareholders.
5. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a
civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding as
authorized in paragraph 4 of this article upon receipt of an undertaking by or
on behalf of the director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount
unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation as authorized in this article.
6. The indemnification provided by this article shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may
D-9
<PAGE> 151
be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, and any procedure
provided for by any of the foregoing, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of heirs, executors, and
administrators of such a person.
7. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, o agent of the
corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against 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.
8. A unanimous vote of each class of shares entitled to vote
shall be required to amend this article.
ARTICLE VIII
Shareholder Voting
A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders.

Corporation, the laws of Colorado require the vote or

<PAGE> 152
concurrence of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares, of the
shares entitled to vote thereon, or of any class or series, such action may be
taken by the vote or concurrence of a majority of such shares or class or
series thereof.
ARTICLE IX
Adoption and Amendment of Bylaws

directors. The power to alter or amend or repeal the Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws
shall be vested in the board of directors, but the holders of common stock may

The Articles of Incorporation shall be amended by changing Article IV
in its entirety to read as follows:
ARTICLE IV
Capital Stock
The aggregate number of voting common shares which this corporation
shall have authority to issue is thirty million (30,000,000) shares of no par
value ($0.00) each, which shares shall be designated "Common Stock".

D-17
<PAGE> 159
This corporation also shall have the authority to issue two million
(2,000,000) shares with a par value of Five Dollars ($5.00) each, which shares
shall be designated "Preferred Stock".
1. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to
time in one or more series, each such series to have distinctive
serial designations, as shall hereafter be determined in the
resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such Preferred
Stock from time to time adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to
authority so to do which is hereby vested in the Board of Directors,
which resolutions shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the
State of Colorado as required by law.
2. Each series of Preferred Stock
(a) may have such number of shares;
(b) may have such voting powers, full or
limited, or may be without voting powers;
(c) may be subject to redemption at such
time or times and at such prices;
(d) may be entitled to receive dividends
(which may be cumulative or noncumulative) at such rate or
rates, on such conditions, from such date or dates, and at
such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation
to, the dividends
D-18
<PAGE> 160
payable on any other class or classes or series of stock;
(e) may have such rights upon the
dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the
Corporation;
(f) may be made convertible into, or
exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of
any other series of the same or any other class or classes of

rates of exchange, and with such adjustments;
(g) may be entitled to the benefit of a
sinking fund or purchase fund to be applied to the purchase or

<PAGE> 161
(i) may have such other relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, and
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof;
all as shall be stated in said resolution or resolutions providing for
the issue of such Preferred Stock. Except where otherwise set forth
in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors
providing for the issue of any series of Preferred Stock, the number
of shares comprising such series may be increased or decreased (but
not below the number of shares then outstanding) from time to time by
like action of the Board of Directors.
3. Shares of any series of Preferred Stock which have
been redeemed (whether through the operation of a sinking fund or
otherwise) or purchased by the corporation, or which, if convertible
or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of
stock of any other class or classes shall have the status of
authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued
as a part of the series of which they were originally a part or may be
reclassified and reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock
to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors
or as part of any other series of Preferred Stock, all subject to the
conditions or restrictions on
D-20
<PAGE> 162
issuance set forth in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the
Board of Directors providing for the issue of any series of Preferred
Stock and to any filing required by law.
4. If the corporation declares or pays a dividend upon
any class of Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of
earnings or earned surplus (determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied), except for a
stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock (a "Liquidating
Dividend"), then the corporation will pay to the holders of Preferred
Stock convertible into shares of such class of Common Stock at the
time of payment thereof the Liquidating Dividends which would have
been paid on the Common Stock had the Preferred Stock been converted
immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken, or, if no
such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of
Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.
5. If at any time the corporation grants, issues or
sells any Option, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock,
warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders
of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then each holder
of Preferred Stock convertible into shares of such class of Common
Stock will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate
D-21
<PAGE> 163
Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon
conversion of such holder's Preferred Stock immediately before the
date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of
which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the
grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
6. Dividends in cash, property or shares of the
corporation may be paid upon the Common Stock, as and when declared by
the Board of Directors, out of funds of the corporation to the extent
and in the manner permitted by law, except that no Common Stock
dividend shall be paid for any year unless the holders of Preferred
Stock, if any, shall receive the maximum allowable Preferred Stock
dividend for such year, plus any required dividends accumulated from
prior years.
7. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the corporation, and after paying or adequately providing for the
payment of all its obligations, the remainder of the assets of the
corporation shall be distributed, either in cash or in kind, first pro
rata to the holders of Preferred Stock until the required amount to be
distributed to the Preferred Stock has
D-22
<PAGE> 164
been distributed, and the remainder pro rata to the holders of the
Common Stock.
8. Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall be
entitled to one vote and each fractional share of Common Stock shall
be entitled to a corresponding fractional vote on each matter
submitted to a vote of shareholders. Cumulative voting shall not be
allowed in the election of directors of the corporation. "Class "A"
Non-Voting Common Stock" shall be identical in all rights and
privileges to and subject to the same restrictions as, the
corporation's Common Stock except such "Class "A" Non-Voting Common
Stock" shall not have voting rights, except as required by law, in
which case each share of "Class "A" Non-Voting Common Stock" shall be
entitled to one vote. Shares of Preferred stock shall not be entitled
to any vote, except as required by law, in which case each share of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote, or except as otherwise
provided by the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors
providing for the issue of any series of the Preferred Stock.
7. No holder of any shares of the corporation, whether
now or hereafter authorized, shall have any preemptive or preferential
right to acquire any shares or securities of the corporation,
including shares or securities held in the treasury of the
corporation.

(the "Series A Preferred Stock") and shall have the rights and
preferences set forth or referred to in this paragraph 8. Certain
other capitalized terms used in this paragraph 8 are defined in
subparagraph g of this paragraph 8.
a. Dividends.
(i) When and as declared by the Board of
Directors of the corporation and to the extent permitted under
the Colorado Corporation Code, the corporation will pay
preferential dividends to the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock. Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each
share of Series A Preferred Stock will accrue, from and after
January 1, 1991, cumulatively at the rate of $0.15 per fiscal
quarter to and including the earlier of (A) the date on which
the Redemption Price of such share is paid if such share is
redeemed, or (B) the date on which such share is converted or
(C) the date upon which any dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the corporation is effected. Dividends will be
payable commencing March 31, 1991, and on each subsequent
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. All dividends
will accrue whether or not such dividends have been declared
and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds
of the corporation legally available for the payment of
dividends. The date on which the corporation initially issues
any share of Series A Preferred Stock will be deemed to be its
"date of issuance"
D-31
<PAGE> 173
regardless of the number of times a transfer of such share is
made on the stock records maintained by or for the corporation
and regardless of the number of certificates which may be
issued to evidence such share.
(ii) To the extent not paid on each March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31, beginning January 1, 1991,
all dividends which have accrued on each share of Series A
Preferred Stock then outstanding during the three-month period
ending upon such date will be added to the Liquidation Value
of such share and will remain a part thereof until such
dividends are paid.
(iii) If at any time the corporation pays less than
the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the
Series A Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed
among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock so that an
equal amount will be paid with respect to each outstanding
share of Series A Preferred Stock.
b. Liquidation.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the corporation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will
be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is
made upon any other equity securities of the corporation, an
amount in cash equal to the sum of the aggregate Liquidation
Value of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding,
and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be
entitled to any further payment. If upon any such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, the assets of the corporation to be
distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the
aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid, then the
entire assets to be distributed will be distributed ratably
among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value
of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder. The
corporation will mail written notice of such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, not less than 60 days prior to the
payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Series A
Preferred Stock. Neither the consolidation or merger of the
corporation into or with any other corporation or
corporations, nor the sale or
D-32
<PAGE> 174
transfer by the corporation of all or any part of its assets,
nor the reduction of the capital stock of the corporation,
will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the corporation within the meaning of this subparagraph b.
c. Redemptions.
(i) Upon resolution of the Board of Directors,
the corporation may redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
For each such share which may be redeemed, if any, the
corporation will be obligated to pay to the holder thereof the
Redemption Price.
(ii) In the event of redemption the corporation
will mail, unless waived by the holders, written notice (the
"Notice of Redemption") of each such redemption to each record
holder not less than 10 days prior to the date on which such
redemption is to be made. Upon mailing any Notice of
Redemption, the corporation will become obligated (A) to
redeem from each holder the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, as stated in the Notice of Redemption, to be
redeemed from such holder, and (B) to send each record holder
a cashier's or certified check in an amount equal to the
Redemption Price of such number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock at least five business days prior to the date
specified for redemption in the notice. Upon receipt of such
check, the record holder of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to be redeemed will become obligated to surrender the
certificates representing such number of shares on or before
the date specified for redemption in the Notice of Redemption.
In case fewer than the total number of shares represented by
any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing
the number of unredeemed shares will be issued to the record
holder thereof in such holder's or such holder's nominee's
name, without cost to such holder.
(iii) No share of Series A Preferred Stock is
entitled to any dividends accruing after redemption. On
redemption all rights of the holder of such share will cease,
and such share will not be deemed to be outstanding.
D-33
<PAGE> 175
(iv) Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock which
are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the corporation will be
cancelled and will not be reissued, sold or transferred.
(v) Neither the corporation nor any Subsidiary
will redeem or otherwise acquire any Series A Preferred Stock,
except as expressly authorized herein or pursuant to a
purchase offer made pro rata to all holders of Series A
Preferred Stock on the basis of the number of shares of such
class owned by each such holder.
d. Conversion.
(i) Any holder of Series A Preferred Stock may
convert all or any of such shares held by such holder into
shares of Common Stock: (A) at any time subsequent to January
1, 1991, or (B) at any time prior to redemption as referred to
in subparagraph c(i) hereof, after receipt of Notice of
Redemption. The number of shares of Common Stock which any
such holder will receive in return for the shares converted by
such holder will be 2.083.
(ii) Each conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
will be deemed to have been effected as of the close of
business on the date on which the certificate or certificates
representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be
converted have been surrendered at the principal office of the
corporation. At such time as such conversion has been
effected, the rights of the holder of such Series A Preferred
Stock as such holder will cease and the Person or Persons in
whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares
of Common Stock are to be issued upon such conversion will be
deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the
shares of Common Stock represented thereby.
(iii) As soon as possible after a conversion has
been effected, the corporation will deliver to the converting
holder:
(A) a certificate or certificates
representing the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or
names and such denomination or
D-34
<PAGE> 176
denominations as the converting holder has specified;
(B) payment in an amount equal to all
accrued dividends with respect to such shares of
Series A Preferred Stock converted, which have not
been paid prior thereto; and
(C) a certificate representing any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock which were
represented by the certificate or certificates
delivered to the corporation in connection with such
conversion but which were not converted.
(iv) If for any reason the corporation is unable
to pay any accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock
being converted, the corporation will pay such dividends to
the converting holder as soon thereafter as funds of the
corporation are legally available for such payment and such
obligation will be evidenced by the corporation's promissory
note payable to such holder and bearing interest at the prime
rate of interest at the United Bank of Denver, N.A. as in
effect during the time such note is outstanding.
(v) The issuance of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock will
be made without charge to the holders of such Series A
Preferred Stock for any issuance tax in respect thereof or
other cost incurred by the corporation in connection with such
conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock.
(vi) The corporation will not close its books
against the transfer of Series A Preferred Stock or of Common
Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred
Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.
(vii) The conversion Price for the Common Stock
will be $2.40 per share of Common Stock and will not be
subject to adjustment except as otherwise specifically set
forth herein.
(viii) Prior to the consummation of any Organic
Change, the corporation will make appropriate
D-35
<PAGE> 177
provisions (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders
of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and
receive in lieu of or in addition to the shares of Common
Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon
the conversion of such holder's Series A Preferred Stock, such
shares of stock, securities or assets as such holder would
have received in connection with such Organic Change if such
holder had converted his Series A Preferred Stock immediately
prior to such Organic Change. In any such case appropriate
provisions (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders
of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding) will be made to insure that the provisions of
this subparagraph d(viii) will thereafter be applicable to
Series A Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any such
consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor
corporation or purchasing corporation is other than the
corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price
to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of
such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding
immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable and receivable upon conversion of Series A
Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale). The corporation will not
effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to
the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other
than the corporation) resulting from such consolidation or
merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes by
written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the
holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder
such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance
with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to
acquire.
(ix) if the corporation at any time after
December 28, 1993 subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will
D-36
<PAGE> 178
be proportionately reduced, and if the corporation at any time
after December 28, 1993 combines (by reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be
proportionately increased.
(x) The corporation will send written notice to
all holders of Series A Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior
to the date on which the corporation closes its books or takes
a record for determining rights to vote with respect to any
Organic change, dissolution or liquidation. The corporation
will also give to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock at least 30 days prior written notice of the date on
which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take
place.
e. Voting Rights.
Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be
entitled to vote on all matters which are or may be submitted
to a vote of shareholders of the corporation permitted under
the laws of the State of Colorado. Each share, until redeemed
or converted, shall have voting rights equal to 16.667 shares
of Common Stock. Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall further have the same rights accorded to holders
of Common Stock on all matters relating to the voting of such
Common Stock provided by the laws of the State of Colorado.
f. Purchase Rights.
If at any time the corporation grants, issues or
sells any options, convertible securities or rights to
purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro
rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the "Purchase
Rights"), then each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be
entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such
holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number
of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of such
holder's Series A Preferred Stock immediately before the date
on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no
D-37
<PAGE> 179
such record is taken,, the date as of which the record holders
of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or
sale of Purchase Rights.

Preferred Stock; and, in the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the corporation or the redemption
of such share of Series A Preferred Stock, unpaid dividends on
such share of Series A Preferred Stock, regardless of whether
they have become payable, will be added to the Liquidation
Value of such share of Series A Preferred Stock, on the
payment date in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or
on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, accrued to the
close of business on such payment date or Redemption Date.
"Organic Change" means any capital reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or any sale of all or

exchange for Common Stock.
"Redemption Date" as to any share of Series A
Preferred Stock means the date specified in the Notice of any
Redemption provided that no such date will be a Redemption
Date unless the applicable Redemption Price is actually paid
in full on or before such date, and if not so paid in full,
the Redemption Date will be the date on which such Redemption
Price is fully paid. If, however, the full Redemption Price is
not paid on the Redemption Date solely because a holder has
not surrendered his certificate(s) at the corporation's
principal office as provided in subparagraph c(ii) hereof,
then as to such holder the date specified herein for the
scheduled redemption shall be the Redemption Date.

at the request of the record holder of such certificate,

certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing
in the aggregate the number of shares represented by the
surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate will be
registered in such name and will represent such number of

outstanding is obtained or (C) the percentage required to
approve any change described in clauses (A) and (B) above,
unless the prior written consent of the holders of at least
90% of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding is
obtained; and provided further that no such change in the
terms hereof may be accomplished by merger or consolidation of
the corporation with another corporation unless the
corporation has obtained the prior written consent of the
holders of the applicable percentage of the Series A Preferred
Stock.

for approval.
FOURTH. Effective as of the Effective Date, each share of the
corporation's Common Stock issued before the Effective Date will be
reclassified, changed and converted so that, from and after the Effective Date,
each one share of the outstanding Common Stock shall be deemed to represent
0.1667 of a share of Common Stock, such reclassification to be effected without
change in the par value of the Common Stock or in the stated capital of the
corporation. Holders of shares of Common Stock issued before the Effective Date
will be asked to surrender the certificates representing such shares for new
certificates representing the number of shares held by them after the Effective
Date. No holders will be issued a fractional share of Common Stock, instead,
any fraction of a share shall be rounded to the next highest whole share, based
upon shares owned of record as reflected on the stock records of the
corporation.

Company. If the remaining Shareholders desire to acquire all but not part of
the Offered Shares not purchased by the Company, they shall deliver to the
Secretary of the Company a written election to purchase such Offered Shares.
The remaining Shareholders shall each be entitled to purchase Offered Shares
under this option proportionate to his or its respective shareholders in the
Company. The Secretary shall notify each remaining Shareholder of the number

sole responsibility for payment of premiums thereon. The Company shall
maintain the policy in full force and effect, and shall have all incidents of
ownership thereto.

deemed to have occurred after the purchase by the other
F-5

Shareholder(s) so that the purchase by the Company is for the total remaining
stock of the Shareholder in the Company.

H-3
<PAGE> 222
1. Dividends.
(a) When and as declared by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation and to the extent permitted under the
General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Corporation will pay
preferential dividends to the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock. Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each
share of Series A Preferred Stock will accrue cumulatively at
the rate of $0.15 per fiscal quarter to and including the
earlier of (i) the date on which the Redemption Price of such
share is paid if such share is redeemed, or (ii) the date on
which such share is converted or (iii) the date upon which any
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation is
effected. Dividends will be payable on each March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31. All dividends will accrue
whether or not such dividends have been declared and whether
or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the
Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends.
The date on which the Corporation initially issues any share
of Series A Preferred Stock will be deemed to be its "date of
issuance" regardless of the number of times a transfer of such
share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the
Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which
may be issued to evidence such share.
(b) To the extent not paid on each March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31, all dividends which have
accrued on each share of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding during the three-month period ending upon such
date will be added to the Liquidation Value of such share and
will remain a part thereof until such dividends are paid.
(c) If at any time the Corporation pays less than
the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the
Series A Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed
among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock so that an
equal amount will be paid with respect to each outstanding
share of Series A Preferred Stock.
2. Liquidation.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will
be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is
made upon any other equity securities of the Corporation, an
amount in cash equal to the sum of the aggregate Liquidation
Value of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding,
and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be
entitled to any further payment. If upon any such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, the assets of the Corporation to be
distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the
aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid, then the
entire assets to be distributed will be distributed ratably
among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value
of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder. The
Corporation will mail written notice of such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, not less than 60 days prior to the
payment date stated therein, to each record holder of
H-4
<PAGE> 223
Series A Preferred Stock. Neither the consolidation or merger
of the Corporation into or with any other Corporation or
Corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of
all or any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the
capital stock of the Corporation, will be deemed to be a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation
within the meaning of this subparagraph b.
3. Redemptions.
(a) Upon resolution of the Board of Directors, the
Corporation may redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
For each such share which may be redeemed, if any, the
Corporation will be obligated to pay to the holder thereof the
Redemption Price.
(b) In the event of redemption the Corporation will
mail, unless waived by the holders, written notice (the
"Notice of Redemption") of each such redemption to each record
holder not less than 10 days prior to the date on which such
redemption is to be made. Upon mailing any Notice of
Redemption, the Corporation will become obligated (i) to
redeem from each holder the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, as stated in the Notice of Redemption, to be
redeemed from such holder, and (ii) to send each record holder
a cashier's or certified check in an amount equal to the
Redemption Price of such number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock at least five business days prior to the date
specified for redemption in the notice. Upon receipt of such
check, the record holder of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to be redeemed will become obligated to surrender the
certificates representing such number of shares on or before
the date specified for redemption in the Notice of Redemption.
In case fewer than the total number of shares represented by
any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing
the number of unredeemed shares will be issued to the record
holder thereof in such holder's or such holder's nominee's
name, without cost to such holder.
(c) No share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled
to any dividends accruing after redemption. On redemption all
rights of the holder of such share will cease, and such share
will not be deemed to be outstanding.
(d) Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are
redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation will be
cancelled and will not be reissued, sold or transferred.
(e) Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary will
redeem or otherwise acquire any Series A Preferred Stock,
except as expressly authorized herein or pursuant to a
purchase offer made pro rata to all holders of Series A
Preferred Stock on the basis of the number of shares of such
class owned by each such holder.
H-5
<PAGE> 224
4. Conversion.
(a) Any holder of Series A Preferred Stock may
convert all or any of such shares held by such holder into
shares of Common Stock at any time prior to redemption as
referred to in subparagraph 3(a) of this paragraph 6, after
receipt of Notice of Redemption. The number of shares of
Common Stock which any such holder will receive in return for
the shares converted by such holder will be 2.083.
(b) Each conversion of Series A Preferred Stock will
be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on
the date on which the certificate or certificates representing
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted have
been surrendered at the principal office of the Corporation.
At such time as such conversion has been effected, the rights
of the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock as such holder
will cease and the Person or Persons in whose name or names
any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are
to be issued upon such conversion will be deemed to have
become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common
Stock represented thereby.
(c) As soon as possible after a conversion has been
effected, the Corporation will deliver to the converting
holder:
(i) a certificate or certificates
representing the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or
names and such denomination or denominations as the
converting holder has specified;
(ii) payment in an amount equal to all
accrued dividends with respect to such shares of
Series A Preferred Stock converted, which have not
been paid prior thereto; and
(iii) a certificate representing any shares
of Series A Preferred Stock which were represented by
the certificate or certificates delivered to the
Corporation in connection with such conversion but
which were not converted.
(d) If for any reason the Corporation is unable to
pay any accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock
being converted, the Corporation will pay such dividends to
the converting holder as soon thereafter as funds of the
Corporation are legally available for such payment and such
obligation will be evidenced by the Corporation's promissory
note payable to such holder and bearing interest at the prime
rate of interest at the United Bank of Denver, N.A., or a
successor thereto, as in effect during the time such note is
outstanding.
(e) The issuance of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock will
be made without charge to the holders of such Series A
Preferred Stock for any issuance tax in respect thereof
H-6
<PAGE> 225
or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with
such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common
Stock.
(f) The Corporation will not close its books against
the transfer of Series A Preferred Stock or of Common Stock
issued or issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of
Series A Preferred Stock.
(g) The Conversion Price for the Common Stock will
be $2.40 per share of Common Stock and will not be subject to
adjustment except as otherwise specifically set forth herein.
(h) Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change,
the Corporation will make appropriate provisions (in form and
substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the
Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding) to insure that each
of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will thereafter
have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in
addition to the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore
acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder's
Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or
assets as such holder would have received in connection with
such Organic Change if such holder had converted his Series A
Preferred Stock immediately prior to such Organic Change. In
any such case appropriate provisions (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series A
Preferred Stock then outstanding) will be made to insure that
the provisions of this subparagraph 4(h) will thereafter be
applicable to Series A Preferred Stock (including, in the case
of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the
successor Corporation or purchasing Corporation is other than
the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion
Price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms
of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding
immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable and receivable upon conversion of Series A
Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation will not
effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to
the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other
than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or
merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes by
written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the
holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder
such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance
with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to
acquire.
(i) If the Corporation subdivides (by any stock
split, stock dividend or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such subdivision will be proportionately reduced, and if the
Corporation combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one
or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares, the
H-7
<PAGE> 226
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased.
(j) The Corporation will send written notice to all
holders of Series A Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior to
the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a
record for determining rights to vote with respect to any
Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation. The Corporation
will also give to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock at least 30 days prior written notice of the date on
which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take
place.
5. Voting Rights.
Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be
entitled to vote on all matters which are or may be submitted
to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation permitted under
the laws of the State of Delaware. Each share, until redeemed
or converted, shall have voting rights equal to 16.667 shares
of Common Stock. Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall further have the same rights accorded to holders
of Common Stock on all matters relating to the voting of such
Common Stock provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.
6. Purchase Rights.
If at any time the Corporation grants, issues or
sells any options, convertible securities or rights to
purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro
rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the "Purchase
Rights"), then each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be
entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such
holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number
of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of such
holder's Series A Preferred Stock immediately before the date
on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date
as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be
determined for the grant, issue or sale of Purchase Rights.
7. Definitions.
"Conversion Price" means $2.40, subject to adjustment
as provided in subparagraph 4(i) of this paragraph H.
"Liquidation Value" of any share of Series A
Preferred Stock as of any particular date will be equal to
$5.00 plus any unpaid dividends on such share of Series A
Preferred Stock; and, in the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or the redemption
of such share of Series A Preferred Stock, unpaid dividends on
such share of Series A Preferred Stock, regardless of whether
they have become payable, will be added to the Liquidation
Value of such share of Series A Preferred Stock, on the
payment date in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or
on the
H-8
<PAGE> 227
Redemption Date, as the case may be, accrued to the close of

"Organic Change" means any capital reorganization,

Redemption provided that no such date will be a Redemption
Date unless the applicable Redemption Price is actually paid
in full on or before such date, and if not so paid in full,
the Redemption Date will be the date on which such Redemption
Price is fully paid. If, however, the full Redemption Price
is not paid on the Redemption Date solely because a holder has
not surrendered his certificate(s) at the Corporation's
principal office as provided in subparagraph 3(b) of this
paragraph H, then as to such holder the date specified herein
for the scheduled redemption shall be the Redemption Date.

8. Miscellaneous
(a) The Corporation will keep at its principal
office a register for the registration of Series A Preferred
Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing
Series A Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation will,
at the request of the record holder of such certificate,
execute and deliver (at the Corporation's expense) a new
certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing
in the aggregate the number of shares represented by the
surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate will be
registered in such name and will represent such number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock as is requested by the
holder of the surrendered certificate and will be
substantially identical in form to the surrendered
certificate, and dividends will accrue on the Series A

7. Indemnification
A. Actions Other Than by or in the Right of the Corporation
The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (all of such persons being hereafter
referred to in this Article as a "Corporate Functionary"), against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a
plea ofnolo
H-11
<PAGE> 230
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the 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, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
B. Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation.
The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or
was a Corporate Functionary against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper.
C. Determination of Right to Indemnification.
Any indemnification under paragraphs A or B of this Article 7
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the Corporate Functionary is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in paragraphs A or B of this Article 7. Such determination
shall be made (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not
parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a
quorum, or (ii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors
so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iii)
by the shareholders.
D. Right to Indemnification.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 7, to the
extent that a Corporate Functionary has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to
in paragraphs A or B of this Article 7 (including the dismissal of a
proceeding without prejudice or the settlement of a proceeding without
admission of liability), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith.
E. Prepaid Expenses.
Expenses incurred by a Corporate Functionary in defending a
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the Corporate Functionary to repay such
amount if it
H-12
<PAGE> 231
shall ultimately be determined he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation as authorized in this Article 7.
F. Right to Indemnification upon Application; Procedure upon
Application.
Any indemnification of a Corporate Functionary under
paragraphs B, C or D, or any advance of expenses under paragraph E, of
this Article 7 shall be made promptly upon, and in any event within 60
days after, the written request of the Corporate Functionary, unless
with respect to applications under paragraphs B, C, or D of this
Article 7, a determination is reasonably and promptly made by a
majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action,
suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, that such
Corporate Functionary acted in a manner set forth in such paragraphs
as to justify the Corporation in not indemnifying or making an advance
of expenses to the Corporate Functionary. If there are no such
directors, the Board of Directors shall promptly direct that
independent legal counsel shall decide whether the Corporate
Functionary acted in a manner set forth in such paragraphs as to
justify the Corporation's not indemnifying or making an advance of
expenses to the Corporate Functionary. The right to indemnification
or advance of expenses granted by this Article 7 shall be enforceable
by the Corporate Functionary in any court of competent jurisdiction if
the Board of Directors or independent legal counsel denies his claim,
in whole or in part, or if no disposition of such claim is made within
60 days. The expenses of the Corporate Functionary incurred in
connection with successfully establishing his right to
indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall
also be indemnified by the Corporation.
G. Other Rights and Remedies.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or
granted pursuant to this Article 7 shall not be deemed exclusive of
any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification and/or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any other provision of
this Certificate of Incorporation, or any agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to
action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office, and shall, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
Corporate Functionary and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person. Any repeal or
modification of this Certificate of Incorporation or relevant
provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and other
applicable law, if any, shall not affect any then existing rights of a
Corporate Functionary to indemnification or advancement of expenses.
H. Insurance.
Upon resolution passed by the Board of Directors, the
Corporation may 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, 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
H-13
<PAGE> 232
the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such
liability under the provisions of this Article 7 or the General
Corporation Law of Delaware.
I. Mergers.
For purposes of this Article 7, references to "the
Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving
corporation, constituent corporations (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its
separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority
to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such
constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of
this Article 7 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation
as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
separate existence had continued.
J. Savings Provision.
If this Article 7 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated
on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Corporation
shall nevertheless indemnify each Corporate Functionary as to expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including a
grand jury proceeding or action or suit brought by or in the right of
the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Article 7 that shall not have been invalidated.
8. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal
any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the
manner prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon
shareholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.
9. A director of the Corporation shall not, to the fullest extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended, be liable to the Corporation or
its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her
fiduciary duty to the Corporation or its shareholders.
10. No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and one or
more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association or
entity in which one or more of its directors are directors or officers
or are financially interested shall be either void or voidable solely
because of such relationship or interest or solely because such
directors are present at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a
committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract
or transaction or solely because their votes are counted for such
purpose if:
(a) The fact of such relationship or interest is
disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee
which authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or
transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose
without counting the votes or consents of such interested
directors; or
H-14
<PAGE> 233
(b) The fact of such relationship or interest is
disclosed or known to the shareholders entitled to vote and
they authorize, approve or ratify such contract or transaction
by vote or written consent; or
(c) The contract or transaction is fair and
reasonable to the Corporation.
Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the
presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a
committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract
or transaction.
The undersigned, being the incorporator named above, for the purpose
of forming a corporation pursuant to the General Corporation Law of Delaware,
does make this certificate, hereby declaring and certifying that this is his
act and deed and the facts herein stated are true, and accordingly has hereunto
set his hand this ____ day of _______, 19__.

<PAGE> 239
voted thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the shareholders.
If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of
the shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person
or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to
time without notice (other than announcement at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken of the time and place of the adjourned meeting) until a
quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a

be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 7. Organization. At each meeting of the shareholders,
the Chairman of the Board or the President, determined as provided in Article V
of these By-Laws, or if those officers shall be absent therefrom, another
officer of the Corporation chosen as chairman present in person or by proxy and
entitled to vote thereat, or if all the officers of the Corporation shall be
absent therefrom, a shareholder holding of record shares of stock of the
Corporation so chosen, shall act as chairman of the meeting and preside
thereat. The Secretary, or if he shall be absent from such meeting or shall be
required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 to act as chairman of
such meeting, the person (who shall be an Assistant Secretary, if an Assistant
Secretary shall be present thereat) whom the chairman of such meeting shall

Section 8. Voting. Except as otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation, each shareholder shall, at each meeting of the
shareholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of
stock of the Corporation held by him and registered in his name on the books of
the Corporation on the date fixed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of
Article VII of these By-Laws as the record date for the determination of
shareholders who shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting.
Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation,
if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of
such other corporation is held directly or indirectly by the Corporation, shall
not be entitled to vote. Any vote by stock of the Corporation may be given at
any meeting of the shareholders by the shareholder entitled thereto, in person
or by his proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such
shareholder or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized and delivered to the
Secretary of the Corporation or to the secretary of the meeting; provided,
however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its
date, unless said proxy shall provide for a longer period. Each proxy shall be
revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and unless
otherwise made irrevocable by law. At all meetings of the shareholders all
matters, except where other provision is made by law, the Certificate of
Incorporation, or these By-Laws, shall be decided by the vote of a majority of
the votes cast by the shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled
to vote thereat, a quorum being present. Unless demanded by a shareholder of
the Corporation present in person or by proxy at any meeting of the
shareholders and entitled to vote thereat, or so directed by the chairman of
the meeting, the vote thereat on any question other than the election or
removal of directors need not be by written ballot. Upon a demand of any such
shareholder for a vote by written ballot on any question or at the direction of
such chairman that a vote by written ballot be taken on any question, such vote
shall be taken by written ballot. On a vote by written ballot, each ballot
shall be signed by the shareholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such
proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.

Section 9. List of Shareholders. It shall be the duty of the
Secretary or other officer of the Corporation who shall have charge of its
stock ledger, either directly or through another officer of the Corporation
designated by him or through a transfer agent appointed by the Board of
Directors, to prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of the
shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote thereat,
arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each shareholder and
the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder. Such list
shall be open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose germane to
the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days
before said meeting, either at a place within the city where said meeting is to
be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of said meeting, or, if
not so specified, at the place where said meeting is to be held. The list
shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of said meeting during
the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any shareholder of record who
shall be present thereat. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to
who are the shareholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, such list or the
books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of
shareholders.
Section 10. Inspectors of Votes. At each meeting of the
shareholders, the chairman of such meeting may appoint two Inspectors of Votes

at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his
ability. Such Inspectors of Votes, if any, shall take charge of the ballots,
if any, at such meeting and, after the balloting thereat on any question, shall
count the ballots cast thereon and shall make a report in writing to the
secretary of such meeting of the results thereof. An Inspector of Votes need
not be a shareholder of the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may
be an Inspector of Votes on any question other than a vote for or against his
election to any position with the Corporation or on any other question in which
he may be directly interested.
Section 11. Actions Without a Meeting. Any action required to be
taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, or
any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders,
may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a
consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the
holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which
all shares entitled to vote thereat were present and voted. Prompt notice of
the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous
written consent shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in
writing.

Section 2. Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. The
Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by
or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that he is or was a Corporate Functionary against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.
Section 3. Determination of Right to Indemnification. Any
indemnification under Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VI (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case
upon a determination that indemnification of a Corporate Functionary is proper
in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VI. Such determination shall be made
(i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action,
suit, or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) if there are no
such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion or (iii) by the shareholders.
Section 4. Right to Indemnification. Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Article VI, to the extent that a Corporate Functionary has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VI (including the
dismissal of a proceeding without prejudice or the settlement of a proceeding
without admission of liability), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Section 5. Prepaid Expenses. Expenses incurred by a Corporate
Functionary in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the
I-15
<PAGE> 249
Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Corporate
Functionary to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VI.
Section 6. Right to Indemnification upon Application; Procedure
upon Application. Any indemnification of a Corporate Functionary under
Sections 2, 3 or 4, or any advance of expenses under Section 5, of this Article
VI shall be made promptly upon, and in any event within 60 days after, the
written request of the Corporate Functionary, unless with respect to
applications under Sections 2, 3 or 5 of this Article VI, a determination is
reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of
the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even
though less than a quorum, that such Corporate Functionary acted in a manner
set forth in such Sections as to justify the Corporation in not indemnifying or
making an advance of expenses to the Corporate Functionary. If there are no
such directors, the Board of Directors shall promptly direct that independent
legal counsel shall decide whether the Corporate Functionary acted in a manner
set forth in such Sections as to justify the Corporation's not indemnifying or
making an advance of expenses to the Corporate Functionary. The right to
indemnification or advance of expenses granted by this Article VI shall be
enforceable by the Corporate Functionary in any court of competent jurisdiction
if the Board of Directors or independent legal counsel denies his claim, in
whole or in part, or if no disposition of such claim is made within 60 days.
The expenses of the Corporate Functionary incurred in connection with
successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in
any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.
Section 7. Other Rights and Remedies. The indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VI
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking
indemnification and/or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any other
provision of these By-Laws, or any agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and
shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a Corporate Functionary and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person. Any
repeal or modification of these By-Laws or relevant provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and other applicable law, if any, shall not affect any
then existing rights of a Corporate Functionary to indemnification or
advancement of expenses.
Section 8. Insurance. Upon resolution passed by the Board of
Directors, the Corporation may 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, 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 VI or the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 9. Mergers. For purposes of this Article VI, references
to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving
corporation, constituent corporations (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate
existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
I-16
<PAGE> 250
corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under
the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if
its separate existence had continued.
Section 10. Savings Provision. If this Article VI or any portion
hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Corporate Functionary as to
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation,
whether civil, criminal or administrative, including a grand jury proceeding or
action or suit brought by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full
extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not
have been invalidated.
ARTICLE VII
CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK
Section 1. Right to Certificate. Every holder of stock in the
Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name
of the Corporation by, the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice
President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation,
certifying the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. If the
Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more
than one series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences, and
relative, participating, optional, or other special rights of each class of
stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of
such preferences or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face
or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such
class or series of stock; provided, that, except as otherwise provided in
Section 202 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, in lieu of the foregoing
requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate
which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a
statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each shareholder
who so requests the powers, designations, preferences, and relative,
participating, optional, or other special rights of each class of stock or
series thereof and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of such
preferences or rights.
Section 2. Facsimile Signatures. Any of or all the signatures
on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or
registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the
same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the
date of issue.
Section 3. New Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct
a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or
certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation and alleged to have been
lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed.
When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of
Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance
thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or
certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner
as it shall require or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may
direct as indemnity against any claim
I-17
<PAGE> 251
that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate
alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed or the issuance of such new
certificate.
Section 4. Transfers. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the
transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or
accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation, or authority to
transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation, subject to any proper
restrictions on transfer, to issue a new certificate to the person entitled
thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction upon its books.
Section 5. Record Date. The Board of Directors may fix in
advance a date, not preceding the date on which the resolution fixing the
record date is adopted, and
(i) not more than 50 days nor less than 10 days preceding
the date of any meeting of shareholders, as a record
date for the determination of the shareholders
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such
meeting and any adjournment thereof,
(ii) not more than 10 days after the date on which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted, as a
record date in connection with obtaining a consent of
the shareholders in writing to corporate action
without a meeting, or
(iii) not more than 50 days before the date for payment of
any dividend or distribution, or the date for the
allotment of rights, or the date when any change, or
conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into
effect, or the date on which any other lawful action
shall be taken, as the record date for determining
the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any
such dividend or distribution, or to receive any such
allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in
respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of
capital stock or other lawful action of the
corporation,
and in such case such shareholders and only such shareholders as shall be
shareholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice
of, and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof (provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for an adjourned
meeting), or to give such consent, or to receive payment of such dividend or
distribution, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such
rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the
books of the corporation after any such record date fixed as aforesaid. If the
Board of Directors does not order the stock transfer books closed, or fix in
advance a record date, as above provided, then the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting
of shareholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of
any dividend, or for the determination of shareholders for any proper purpose
shall be 30 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring
such determination of shareholders is to be taken.
Section 6. Registered Shareholders. The Corporation shall be
entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books
as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to
hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the
owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other
claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person,
whether or not provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

shares or that the interest due was incorrectly calculated;
(b) The corporation fails to make payment under section 7-113-206
within sixty days after the date set by the corporation by which the

<PAGE> 260
(c) The corporation does not return the deposited certificates or
release the transfer restrictions imposed on uncertificated shares as required
by section 7-113-207(1).
(2) A dissenter waives the right to demand payment under this
section unless the dissenter causes the corporation to receive the notice
required by subsection (1) of this section within thirty days after the
corporation made or offered payment for the dissenter's shares.
PART 3
JUDICIAL APPRAISAL OF SHARES
7-113-301 COURT ACTION.--(1) If a demand for payment under
section 7-113-209 remains unresolved, the corporation may, within sixty days
after receiving the payment demand, commence a proceeding and petition the
court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the
corporation does not commence the proceeding within the sixty-day period, it
shall pay to each dissenter whose demand remains unresolved the amount
demanded.
(2) The corporation shall commence the proceeding described in
subsection (1) of this section in the district court of the county in this
state where the corporation's principal office is located or, if it has no
principal office in this state, in the district court of the county in which
its registered office is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation
without a registered office in this state, it shall commence the proceeding in
the county in this state where the registered office of the domestic
corporation merged into, or whose shares were acquired by, the foreign
corporation was located.
(3) The corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not
residents of this state, whose demands remain unresolved parties to the
proceeding commenced under subsection (2) of this section as in an action
against their shares, and all parties shall be served with a copy of the
petition. Service on each dissenter shall be by registered or certified mail,
to the address stated in such dissenter's payment demand, or if no such address
is stated in the payment demand, at the address shown on the corporation's
current record of shareholders for the record shareholder holding the
dissenter's shares, or as provided by law.
(4) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is
commenced under subsection (2) of this section is plenary and exclusive. The
court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and
recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the
powers described in the order appointing them, or in any amendment to such
order. The parties to the proceeding are entitled to the same discovery rights
as parties in other civil proceedings.
(5) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding commenced under
subsection (2) of this section is entitled to judgment for the amount, if any,
by which the court finds the fair value of the dissenter's shares, plus
interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation, or for the fair value,
plus interest, of the dissenter's shares for which the corporation elected to
withhold payment under section 7-113-208.
7-113-302 COURT COSTS AND COUNSEL FEES.-- (1) The court in an
appraisal proceeding commenced under section 7-311-301 shall determine all
costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of
appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against
the corporation; except that the court may assess costs against all or some of
J-7
<PAGE> 261
the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court
finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith in
demanding payment under section 7-113-209.
(2) The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and
experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:
(a) Against the corporation and in favor of any dissenters if the
court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements
of part 2 of this article; or
(b) Against either the corporation or one or more dissenters, in
favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the
fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good
faith with respect to the rights provided by this article.
(3) If the court finds that the services of counsel for any
dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated,
and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the
corporation, the court may award to said counsel reasonable fees to be paid out
of the amounts awarded to the dissenters who were benefitted.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN INFORMATION STATEMENT
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article 3-101.5 of the Colorado Corporation Code provides that any
director, officer, employee or agent of a Colorado corporation may be
indemnified against judgments, settlements, penalties, fines and reasonable
expenses actually incurred by him in connection with or in defending any
action, suit or proceeding in which he is a party by reason of his position.
With respect to any proceeding arising from actions taken in his official
capacity as a director or officer, he may be indemnified so long as it shall be
determined that he conducted himself in good faith and that he reasonably
believed that such conduct was in the corporation's best interests. In cases
not concerning conduct in his official capacity as a director or officer, he
may be indemnified as long as he reasonably believed that his conduct was not
opposed to the corporation's best interests. In the case of any criminal
proceeding, a director or officer may be indemnified if he had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. If a director or officer is wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in connection with such a proceeding,
such indemnification is mandatory. The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation
provide for indemnification of its present and former directors, employees and
agents to the fullest extent provided by Article 3-101.5.
Colorado corporations are also authorized to obtain insurance to
protect a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or
agent of a Colorado corporation from certain liabilities, including liabilities
against which the corporation cannot indemnify its directors, officers,
employees, or agents.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the information statement any facts
or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in
the Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered herein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth or described in
Item 20 of the Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the 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 Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer,
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question 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.
(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, the information omitted
II-3
<PAGE> 265
from the form of information statement filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1)
or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part
of this registration statement as of the time it was declared
effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act 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.

of Borrowing, Lender shall inform Borrowers' Agent whether such Eligible
Inventory or the Letter of Credit Arrangement, as the case may be, is

REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
$3,000,000.00 Dallas, Texas July 20, 1992
FOR VALUE RECEIVED on or before January 20, 1995, the undersigned,
ULTRAK, INC., a Colorado corporation, CCTV SOURCE INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Texas
corporation, and LOSS PREVENTION ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, a Colorado
corporation (hereinafter collectively called "Maker"), jointly and severally
promise to pay to the order of
PETRUS FUND, L.P.,
a Texas limited partnership
(hereinafter called "Lender"), at its offices at 1700 Lakeside Square, 12377
Merit Drive, Dallas, Dallas County, Texas 75251, in lawful money of the United
States of America, up to the sum of THREE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($3,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced from time to time
pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement (herein so called) of even date
herewith between Maker and Lender, together with interest on the unpaid
principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum
which is ten percent (10.0%) per annum.All past due principal (and, to the
extent permitted by law, past due interest) shall bear interest at a rate per
annum which is three percent (3%) per annum above the prematurity rate
specified in the immediately preceding sentence (but in no event to exceed the
maximum rate of non-usurious interest allowed from time to time by law as now
or, to the extent allowed by law, as may hereafter be in effect [hereinafter
called the "Maximum Non-usurious Interest Rate")) from maturity until paid.
Unless otherwise specified below, interest shall be computed on a per annum
basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days (including the
first but excluding the last day) elapsed unless such calculation would result
in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on a per annum
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.
Accrued interest is due and payable monthly commencing August l, 1992,
and on the same day of each and every succeeding month thereafter during the
term hereof and at maturity; provided, that upon any prepayment of principal,
at the option of Lender, it may demand (at any time at or after prepayment) all
accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the principal amount prepaid
through the date of prepayment.
The unpaid principal balance hereof shall at no time exceed the sum of
Three million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00). The unpaid principal balance
of this note at any time shall be the
45
<PAGE> 46
total amounts loaned or advanced hereunder by the holder hereof, less the
amount of payments or prepayments of principal made hereon by or for the
account of Maker. All loans or advances and all payments or prepayments made
hereunder on account of principal or interest may be evidenced by Lender, or
any subsequent holder, maintaining in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Maker resulting from all
loans or advances and all payments or prepayments hereunder from time to time
and the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid from time to time
hereunder, in which event, in any legal action or proceeding in respect of this
note, the entries made in such account or accounts shall be conclusive evidence
of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Maker therein recorded.
In the event that the unpaid principal amount hereof at any time, for any
reason, exceeds the maximum amount hereinabove specified, Maker covenants and
agrees to pay the excess principal amount forthwith upon demand; such excess
principal amount shall in all respects be deemed to be included among the loans
or advances made pursuant to the other terms of this note and shall bear
interest at the rates hereinabove stated.
Advances hereunder may be made by the holder hereof (i) pursuant to
the terms of the Loan Agreement, or (ii) at the written request of any of the
undersigned or of any officer or agent of Maker designated by or acting under
the authority of resolutions of the board of directors of Maker, if a
corporation, or other written authorization of Maker if other than a
corporation, a duly certified or executed copy of which shall be furnished to
the holder hereof, until written notice of the revocation of such authority is
received by the holder hereof.Maker covenants and agrees to furnish to the
holder hereof written confirmation of any such oral request within five (5)
days of the resulting loan or advance, but any such loan or advance shall be
deemed to be made under and entitled to the benefits of this note irrespective
of any failure by Maker to furnish such written confirmation.Any loan or
advance shall be conclusively presumed to have been made under the terms of
this note to or for the benefit of Maker when made pursuant to the terms of any
written agreement executed in connection herewith between Maker and Lender, or
in accordance with such requests and directions or when said advances are
deposited to the credit of the account of Maker with Lender regardless of the
fact that persons other than those authorized hereunder may have authority to
draw against such account, or may have requested an advance.
If any installment or payment of principal or interest of this note is
not paid when due; or if a default occurs under any instrument now or hereafter
executed in connection with or as security for this note including, without
limitation, the Loan Agreement; thereupon, or upon demand, at the option of
Lender, the principal and unpaid accrued interest on this note and any and all
other indebtedness of Maker to Lender shall become due and payable
46
<PAGE> 47
forthwith without demand, notice of default or of intent to accelerate the
maturity hereof, notice of acceleration, notice of nonpayment, presentment,
protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
Maker and each other liable party.
If this note is not paid at maturity whether by acceleration or
otherwise and is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is
filed hereon, or proceedings are had in probate, bankruptcy, receivership,
reorganization, arrangement or other legal proceedings for collection, Maker
and each drawer, accepter, endorser, guarantor, surety, accommodation party or
other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable upon or for
payment of all or any part of this note (each hereinafter called an "other
liable party") agree to pay Lender its collection costs, including attorney's
fees. Maker and each other liable party are and shall be directly and
primarily, jointly and severally, liable for the payment of all sums called for
hereunder, and Maker and each other liable party hereby expressly waive
bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing
hereon and in the handling of any security, and Maker and each other liable
party hereby consent to and agree to remain liable hereon regardless of any
renewals, extensions for any period or rearrangements hereof, or partial
prepayments hereon, or any release or substitution of security herefor, in
whole or in part, with or without notice, from time to time, before or after
maturity.
It is the intention of Maker and Lender to conform strictly to
applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby
would be usurious under applicable law then, in that event, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any agreement entered into in connection with or as
security for this note, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all
consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is taken,
reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this note or under any of
the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this note shall
under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by
applicable law, and any excess shall be credited on this note by the holder
hereof (or, if this note shall have been paid in full, refunded to Maker); (ii)
determination of the rate of interest for determining whether the loans
hereunder are usurious shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and
spreading, in equal parts during the full stated term of such loans (including
any renewals of the term hereof) all interest at any time contracted for,
charged or received from the Maker in connection with such loans, and any
excess shall be cancelled, credited or refunded as set forth in (i) herein; and
(iii) in the event that maturity of this note is accelerated by reason of an
election by the holder hereof resulting from any default hereunder or
otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such
consideration that
47
<PAGE> 48
constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by
applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this note or
otherwise shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration
or prepayment and, if the heretofore prepaid, shall be credited on this note
(or if this note shall have been paid in full, a refunded to Maker).
This note shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the
State of Texas and applicable federal law, but Texas Revised Civil Statutes
Annotated, Title 79, chapter 15 (which regulates certain revolving loan
accounts and revolving a tri-party accounts) shall not apply to the loan
evidenced by this note.
Wherefore, intending to be legally bound hereby, Maker has executed this note.

of any such other direct or indirect security for the Obligation or any part
thereof. 6. Collections. If, at any time, Borrowers' liabilities to Lender
are in excess of Borrowers indebtedness to Lender constituting the Obligation,
Lender, at its option, may apply all collections in respect to Borrowers'
liabilities derived from any source other than the Account toward payment of
Borrowers' liabilities not constituting the Obligation hereunder.
7. Other Collateral. Should any other person have heretofore
executed or hereafter execute in favor of Lender any deed of trust, mortgage or
security agreement, or have heretofore pledged or hereafter pledge any other
property to secure the payment of the Obligation or any part thereof, the
exercise by Lender of any right or power conferred upon it in any such
instrument or by any such pledge shall be wholly discretionary with Lender; and
the exercise or failure to exercise any such right or power shall not impair or
diminish Lender's rights, titles, interests, lines and powers existing
hereunder.
8. Default. The term "Default," as used herein, means the
occurrence of any of the following events: (a) default in the
57
<PAGE> 58
payment of the Obligation or any part thereof as it becomes due in accordance
with the terms of the promissory note or notes or other writings or agreements
which evidence it or when accelerated pursuant to any power to accelerate; (b)
default in the punctual and proper performance of any covenant, agreement or
condition contained herein or in any other security agreement, mortgage, deed
of trust, assignment or contract of any kind securing or assuring payment of
the Obligation or any part thereof; (c) the death of Assignor or Obligor or, if
either is a partnership, the death of any partner therein; (d) the insolvency
of Assignor or Obligor; (e) the levy against the Account or any part thereof of
any execution, attachment, sequestration or other writ; (f) the appointment of
a receiver of Assignor or Obligor or of the Account or any part thereof; (g)
the filing of any petition or other pleading seeking any adjustment of
Assignor's or Obligor's debts or any other relief under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, debtor's relief or insolvency laws now or hereafter existing;
(h) when Lender in good faith believes that the prospect of payment of the
Obligation or the performance by Assignor or Obligor of any of the covenants,
agreements or other duties under any writing executed in connection therewith
is impaired; or (i) the receipt by Lender of information establishing that any
representation or warranty made by Assignor herein or by Assignor or Obligor in
any other writing delivered by Assignor or Obligor to Lender in connection
herewith is false, misleading or erroneous.
9. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Lender, in
addition to any other remedies it may have, may declare the entire unpaid
balance of principal of and all earned interest on the Obligation immediately
due and payable and may demand payment thereof from the funds in or credited to
the Account. Assignor hereby authorizes and directs Depository Institution,
upon written demand from Lender following any such Default, to make payment
directly to Lender of the funds in or credited to the Account or such part
thereof as Lender may request. Depository Institution shall be protected fully
in relying upon the written statement of Lender that the Account is at the time
of such demand assigned hereunder and that Lender is entitled to payment of the
Obligation therefrom. Lender's receipt for sums paid Lender pursuant to such
demand shall be a full and complete release, discharge and acquittance to
Depositary Institution to the extent of the amount so paid.Assignor hereby
authorizes Lender upon the occurrence of a Default and so long as any part of
the Obligation remains unpaid (a) to withdraw, collect and receipt for any and
all funds on deposit in or payable on the Account, (b) on behalf of Assignor to
endorse the name of Assignor upon any checks, drafts or other instruments
payable to Assignor evidencing payment on the Account, and (c) to surrender or
present for notation of withdrawals the passbook, certificate or other
documents issued to Assignor in connection with the Account. No power granted
herein to Lender by Assignor shall terminate upon any disability of
Assignor.Lender shall not be liable for any loss of interest on or any penalty
or
58
<PAGE> 59
charge assessed by the Depository Institution against funds in, payable or
credited to the Account as a result of Lender's exercising any of its rights or
remedies under this Assignment.
10. Release. Lender shall be entitled to apply any and all funds
received by Lender hereunder toward payment of the Obligation in such order and
manner as Lender in its discretion may elect. If such funds are not sufficient
to pay the Obligation in full, Obligor shall remain liable for any deficiency;
the liability of each Obligor (if more than one) to be determined by Lender
following its receipt and crediting of such funds.Upon full and final payment
of the Obligation, Lender, at the written request of Assignor, shall release
its rights hereunder.
11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, titles, interest,
liens and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative of each other and of
every other right, title, interest, lien or remedy that Lender may otherwise
have at law or in equity or under any other contract or other writing for the
enforcement of the security interest herein or the collection of the
Obligation.The exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice
or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other right or
remedies.Should Assignor have heretofore executed or hereafter execute any
other security agreement in favor of Lender, the security interest therein
created and all other rights, powers and privileges vested in Lender by the
terms thereof shall exist concurrently with the security interest created
herein.
12. No Waiver. Should any part of the Obligation be payable in
installments, the acceptance by Lender at any time or from time to time of part
payment of the aggregate amount of all installments then matured shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of the Default then existing. No waiver by Lender of any
Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent Default, nor
shall any such waiver by Lender be deemed to be a continuing waiver.No delay or
omission by Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder, or under any
other writings executed by Assignor or Obligor as security for or in connection
with the Obligation, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a
waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right or power preclude other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right or power of Lender hereunder or under such
other writings.
13. Interest Limitation. No provision herein or in any promissory
note, instrument or any other loan document evidencing the Obligation shall
require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the
maximum permitted by law. If any excess of interest in such respect is
provided for herein or in any such promissory note, instrument or any other
loan document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern; and Obligor shall
not be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it
59
<PAGE> 60
is in excess of the amount permitted by law.The intention of parties being to
conform strictly to the applicable usury laws now in force, all promissory
notes, instruments and other loan documents evidencing the Obligation shall be
held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury laws as now or
hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.
14. Successors and Assigns. This Assignment shall be binding on
Assignor and Assignor's heirs, executors, administrators, other legal
representatives, successors and assigns and, if there be more than one
Assignor, upon their respective heirs, executors, administrators, other legal
representatives, successors and assigns. This Assignment shall inure to the
benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. An accounting to any one or
more of Assignor's heirs, executors, administrators, other legal
representative, successors and assigns shall discharge Lender of any further
liability therefor.
15. Termination. At any time when Lender is not obligated to make
further loans or advances to Borrowers on the security of this Assignment,
Assignor may terminate this Assignment by written notice delivered to Lender
insofar as this Assignment otherwise would secure indebtedness of Borrowers to
Lender arising after delivery of such notice; provided, however, this
Assignment shall continue in full force and effect as to all indebtedness of
Borrowers to Lender arising before delivery of such notice (subject to the
limitation, if any stated in Paragraph 1) and all renewals or extensions of the
same, or any part thereof, as well as with respect to all indebtedness of
Assignor to Lender,if the Obligation includes indebtedness of Assignor to
Lender.
16. Choice of Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and
enforcement of this Assignment shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Texas and the United States of America. Any conflicts of law rules of any
jurisdiction that require reference to the laws of any other jurisdiction
besides the State of Texas shall be disregarded. This Assignment is to be
performed in Dallas County, Texas. Any and all suits or proceedings arising
out of this Assignment may be brought in the state courts sitting in Dallas
County, Texas, or the United States court sitting in the Northern District of
Texas.Assignor hereby agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and
waives any right Assignor may have to plead forum non conveniens.
Assignor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Assignment.

EXHIBIT E
to
Loan Agreement
ARBITRATION PROGRAM
(a) Binding Arbitration. Upon the request of any party, whether
made before or after the institution of any legal proceeding, any action,
dispute, claim or controversy of any kind (e.g., whether in contract or in
tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable) now existing or hereafter
arising between the parties in any way arising out of, pertaining to or in
connection with (1) the agreement, document or instrument to which this
Arbitration Program is attached or in which it is referred to or any related
agreements, documents, or instruments (the "Documents"), (2) all past and
present loans, credits, accounts, safekeeping agreements, guarantees, letters
of credit, goods or services or other transactions, contracts or agreements,
(3) any incidents, omissions, acts, practices, or occurrences causing injury to
either party whereby the other party or its agents, employees or
representatives may be liable, in whole or in part, or (4) any aspect of the
past or present relationships of the parties, shall be resolved by binding
arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Program. The
foregoing matters shall be referred to as a "Dispute." Any party to this
Arbitration Program may, by summary proceedings (e.g., a plea in abatement or
motion to stay further proceedings), bring an action in court to compel
arbitration of any Disputes.
(b) Governing Rules. All disputes between the parties shall be
resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration
Association (the "AAA") in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration
Program, the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, and to the maximum extent
applicable, the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code).
In the event of any inconsistency between this Arbitration Program and such
statute and rules, this Arbitration Program shall control. Judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction.
(c) No Waiver: Preservation of Remedies. No provisions of, nor
the exercise of any rights under this Arbitration Program shall limit the right
of any party to employ other remedies, including, without limitation, (1)
foreclosing against any real or personal property collateral or other security
by the exercise of a power of sale under a deed of trust, mortgage, or other
security agreement or instrument, or applicable law, (2) exercising self-help
remedies (including set-off rights) or (3) obtaining provisional or ancillary
remedies such as injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment, garnishment, or
the appointment of a receiver from a `court having jurisdiction before, during,
or after the pendency of any arbitration. The institution and maintenance of
an action for
63
<PAGE> 64
judicial relief or pursuit of provisional or ancillary remedies or exercise of
self-help remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party,
including the plaintiff, to submit the Dispute to arbitration nor render
inapplicable the compulsory arbitration provisions hereof.Without limitation of
the foregoing, the parties shall be entitled to the benefits of each and all of
the remedies and assistance provided for by applicable law.
In Disputes involving indebtedness or other monetary obligations, each
party agrees that the other party may proceed against all liable persons,
jointly and severally, or against one or more of them, less than all, without
impairing rights against other liable persons. Nor shall a party be required
to join the principal obligor or any other liable persons (e.g., sureties or
guarantors) in any proceeding against a particular person. A party may release
or settle with one or more liable persons as the party deems fit without
releasing or impairing rights to proceed against any persons not so released.
(d) Statute of Limitations: All statutes of limitation that would
otherwise be applicable shall apply to any arbitration proceeding.
(e) Scope of Award; Modification or Vacation of Award; Qualifications.
Any arbitrators shall resolve all Disputes in accordance with the applicable
substantive law. Any arbitrators shall be practicing attorneys licensed to
practice law in the State of Texas and shall be knowledgeable in the subject
matter of the Dispute. With respect to a Dispute in which the claim or amount
in controversy does not exceed $1,000,000, a single arbitrator (who shall have
authority to render a maximum award of $1,000,000, including all damages of any
kind and costs, fees and the like) shall be chosen and shall decide the
Dispute. With respect to a Dispute in which the claim or amount in controversy
exceeds $1,000,000, the Dispute shall be decided by a majority vote of three
arbitrators.The arbitrators may grant any remedy or relief that the arbitrators
deem just and equitable and within the scope of this Arbitration Program.The
arbitrators may also grant such ancillary relief as is necessary to make
effective the award. In all arbitration proceedings in which the amount in
controversy exceeds $1,000,000, in the aggregate, the parties shall have in
addition to the limited statutory right to seek vacation or modification of an
award pursuant to applicable law, the right to seek vacation or modification of
any award that is based in whole, or in part, on an incorrect ruling of law;
Provided, however, that any such application for vacation or modification of an
award based on an incorrect ruling of law must be filed in a court having
jurisdiction over the Dispute within 15 days from the date the award is
rendered. The arbitrators' findings of fact shall be binding on all parties
and shall not be subject to further review except as otherwise allowed by
applicable law.
64
<PAGE> 65
(f) Other Matters and Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent
practicable, an arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be concluded within 180
days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. Arbitration proceedings
hereunder shall be conducted at Dallas, Texas.Arbitrators shall be empowered to
impose sanctions and to take such other actions as the arbitrators deem
necessary to the same extent a judge could do pursuant to the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable law. This
Arbitration Program constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior discussions,
arrangements, negotiations, and other communications on dispute resolution.
The provisions of this Arbitration Program shall survive any termination,
amendment, or expiration of the Documents, unless the parties otherwise
expressly agree in writing. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
arbitrator shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees
(including attorneys' fees, administrative fees, and arbitrators' fees) to the
prevailing party. This Arbitration Program may be amended, changed, or
modified only by the express provisions of a writing which specifically refers
to this Arbitration Program and which is signed by all the parties hereto. If
any term covenant, condition or provisions of this Arbitration Program is found
to unlawful or invalid or unenforceable,such illegality or invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of
the remaining parts of this Arbitration Program, and all such remaining parts
hereof shall be valid and enforceable and have full force and effect as if the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable part has not been included.The captions or
headings in this Arbitration Program are for convenience of reference only and
are not intended to constitute any part of the body or text of this Arbitration
Program. Each party agrees to keep all Disputes and arbitration proceedings
strictly confidential, except for disclosures of information required in the
ordinary course of business or by applicable law or regulation.

ARTICLE II. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
2.1 Loans. Subject to and on the terms and conditions provided in
this Agreement, Lender hereby approves a revolving credit facility for loans by
Lender to any Borrower, secured by the Collateral, in an amount up to the
Borrower Availability applicable to such Borrower. Any Borrower may borrow and
repay amounts from time to time under the Revolving Facility, subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement. Loans from time to time made by
Lender to a Borrower under the Revolving Facility, and all accrued
-9-
<PAGE> 14
interest therein, shall be payable by such Borrower as provided in this
Agreement and additionally evidenced by a Revolving Note.
2.2 Interest. The unpaid principal from day to day outstanding
under the Revolving Facility shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the
Contract Rate or (ii) the Maximum Rate, provided, however that, subject to the
provisions of paragraph 9.10, in the event that the Contract Rate shall exceed
the Maximum Rate at any time and thereafter the Contract Rate shall be less
than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest applicable hereunder shall remain
at the Maximum Rate until the aggregate accrued interest to date under the
Revolving Facility equals the amount that would have accrued had the Contract
Rate at all times remained in effect. All past due principal and all past due
accrued interest under the Revolving Facility shall accrue interest at the
Maximum Rate.
2.3 Repayment and Line Termination. Each Borrower hereby promises
to pay to Lender all Obligations in respect of loans to such Borrower under the
Revolving Facility as provided in this Agreement. All unpaid principal and
accrued interest under the Revolving Facility shall be payable as follows:
Accrued interest shall be payable monthly on the last day of each calendar
month, and subject to Lender's rights under Article VIII, all unpaid principal
borrowed under the Revolving Facility and all unpaid accrued interest thereon,
and all other amounts payable hereunder relative to the Revolving Facility,
shall be due and payable to Lender in full, and the Revolving Facility shall
terminate, on the last day of the Contract Term. To the extent that any
accrued interest owing by a Borrower is not paid prior to the fifth day
following its due date as specified above, Lender may at its option (but with
no obligation to do so), add the amount of such accrued interest to the unpaid
principal due by such Borrower under the Revolving Facility, in which event
such amount will be deemed paid and the aggregate amount thereof shall be
treated as a loan to such Borrower under the Revolving Facility. Borrowers
acknowledge and agree that Lender shall have no obligation to renew the
Revolving Facility.
2.4 Mandatory Interim Principal Payments. If at any time, from
time to time, the aggregate unpaid principal amount outstanding and owing by a
Borrower under the Revolving Facility exceeds its Borrower Availability, such
Borrower shall make an immediate payment of principal under the Revolving
Facility in an amount not less than the amount of such excess. All such
amounts, if any, payable by such Borrower shall be deemed to be payable on
demand, and may be offset by Lender against any amount owing by Lender to such
Borrower, without prior notice. If at any time, from time to time, the
aggregate unpaid principal amount outstanding and owing by all Borrowers under
the Revolving Facility exceeds the Aggregate Availability. Borrowers jointly
and
-10-
<PAGE> 15
severally agree to make an immediate payment of principal under the Revolving
Facility in an amount not less than the amount of such excess, which may be
applied by Lender in reduction of the Revolving Facility in Lender's
discretion. All such amounts, if any, shall be deemed to be payable on demand,
and may be offset by Lender against any amount owing by Lender to any Borrower,
without prior notice.
2.5 Early Termination of Revolving Facility by Borrower.
Borrowers acknowledge that termination of the Revolving Facility at any time
prior to expiration of the Contract Term would result in the loss by Lender of
benefits under this Agreement, and that the damages incurred by Lender as a
result of such termination would be difficult and impractical to ascertain.
Therefore, in the event of termination of the Revolving Facility at any
effective time prior to expiration of the Contract Term, then, for the
privilege of any such termination and as a condition to the effectiveness
thereof, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to Lender a sum certain,
as liquidated damages, equal to the following applicable percentage of the
Revolving Credit Limit: One Percent (1.0%), which amount Borrowers and Lender
acknowledge to be the best estimate of the amount necessary to fairly and
reasonably compensate Lender for its damages resulting from such termination.
No such payment will be applicable with respect to (i) any reduction under the
Revolving Facility which is a result of proceeds received by a Borrower through
capital contributions or which does not result in early termination and total
repayment of the Revolving Facility (ii) renewal or refinancing of the
Obligations by Lender or (iii) early termination of the Revolving Facility and
total payment of the Obligations following any reduction in the advance rate
applicable in respect of Eligible Accounts to an amount less than eighty
percent (80%) or any reduction in the advance rate in respect of Eligible
Inventory to an amount less than forty percent (40%).
2.6 Purpose and Use of Funds. All amounts borrowed under the
Revolving Facility shall be used to refinance existing indebtedness and for
working capital and other corporate purposes in the ordinary course of
business.
2.7 Borrowing Base. The advance rates specified in this Agreement
for determination of the Aggregate Borrowing Base and the Company Borrowing
Base applicable to any Borrower, respectively, may be decreased from time to
time based upon such considerations as Lender may deem appropriate in its
discretion. Advance rates from time to time used by lender in calculating the
Aggregate Borrowing Base and any Company Borrowing Base, respectively, are for
the sole purpose of determining the maximum amount of principal that may be
outstanding from time to time under the Revolving Facility, and shall not be
evidentiary of or binding upon Lender with respect to the market value or
liquidation value of any
-11-
<PAGE> 16
Collateral. Funding of loans hereunder shall at all times remain subject to
confirmation of existence and acceptability of Eligible Accounts and Eligible
Inventory, and the Aggregate Borrowing Base and applicable Company Borrowing
Base, respectively, in Lender's sole discretion. Any request for a loan under
the Revolving Facility which, if funded, would result in an aggregate amount
outstanding under the Revolving Facility which is in excess of the Borrower
Availability or the Aggregate Availability, respectively, may be declined by
Lender in its sole discretion without prior notice.
2.8 Continuing Representations. Except as may have been otherwise
disclosed to Lender in writing, each request by a Borrower for a loan under the
Revolving Facility shall constitute a continuing representation by such
Borrower that no event or condition that would be the subject of a required
notice under paragraph 6.12 or paragraph 6.13 is in existence as of such time.
ARTICLE III. COLLATERAL
3.1 Security Interest. Each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a
continuing security interest and lien in and to all of its right, title and
interest in the Collateral to secure full payment and performance of the
Obligations owing by such Borrower.
3.2 Perfection and Protection of Lender's Security Interest. Each
Borrower shall perform, at its expense, all action requested by Lender at any
time to perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce Lender's security interests in
the Collateral, including without limitation executing and filing financing
statements and amendments thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender; delivering to Lender the originals of all Collateral the possession of
which is required for perfection of Lender's security interests, duly endorsed
or assigned to Lender without restriction; placing notations on books of
account to disclose Lender's security interests; and such other steps as are
deemed necessary by Lender to maintain its security interests. In the event
any of Borrower's Receivables at any time are evidenced by a promissory note or
other instrument, such Borrower will immediately notify Lender and delivery
such instrument to lender, duly endorsed payable to the order of Lender.
Borrowers shall deliver to Lender the certificate of title on all Collateral
with respect to which recordation or notation is required for perfection of a
security interest, and shall execute applications for corrected certificates of
title and other such documentation as may be necessary to duly perfect Lender's
security interest therein. So long as this Agreement is in effect and until
all Obligations have been fully satisfied, Lender's security interest and lien
hereunder shall continue in full force and effect in all Collateral.
-12-
<PAGE> 17
3.3 Priority. Lender's security interests in the Collateral
granted herein at all times shall be and remain first, prior and senior to any
other interests in the Collateral, except as provided in the Intercreditor
Agreement or as may be expressly agreed otherwise by Lender in writing. Each
Borrower represents to Lender that no other security interests, liens or other
encumbrances exist with respect to any of the Collateral, except as disclosed
in Exhibit 3.3.
3.4 Location of Collateral. Each Borrower represents and warrants
to Lender that all of its books and records relating to the Collateral owned by
such Borrower are located at its chief executive office, and at such other
locations, if any, as are specified in Exhibit 3.4. Exhibit 3.4 attached
hereto correctly identifies the locations where all Inventory will be
maintained, and if any such location is a leased location, the name and address
of the owner thereof. Each Borrower agrees that it will not maintain any
Collateral at any location other than its chief executive office designated and
those listed in Exhibit 3.4 unless it gives Lender at least 30 days prior
written notice and executes such financing statements and other documents as
Lender may request in connection therewith.
3.5 Field Examinations; Inspections. Lender shall have the right
without hindrance or delay to conduct field examinations to inspect the
Collateral and to inspect, audit and copy any Borrower's books, records,
journals, correspondence and other records and data relating to the Collateral
or its business. Lender is authorized to discuss Borrowers' affairs with any
Person, including without limitation employees of any Borrower, as Lender may
deem necessary in relation to the Collateral, any Borrower's financial
condition or Lender's rights under the Loan Documents. Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to pay Lender's out of pocket expenses relating to such field
examinations. Lender shall have full access to all records available to any
Borrower from any credit reporting service, bureau or similar service and shall
have the right to examine and make copies of any such records. Lender may
exhibit a copy of this Agreement to such service and such service shall be
entitled to rely on the provisions hereof in providing access to Lender as
provided herein.
3.6 Collateral Reports. Contemporaneously with each request for a
loan under the Revolving Facility and in any event at least weekly, and at such
other times as Lender may request, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to
Lender, in form satisfactory to Lender, a collateral report setting forth a
certification of Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory, and calculation of
its Company Borrowing Base, in form prescribed by Lender. Each Collateral
Report shall include a reconciliation of the calculation of the Company
Borrowing Base as certified in the most recent
-13-
<PAGE> 18
Collateral Report delivered to Lender by such Borrower, and be accompanied by
such documents and supporting information relating to Eligible Accounts and
Eligible Inventory as Lender may request. Borrowers shall maintain, and shall
furnish to Lender at Lender's request, such supporting documents or copies as
Lender may require including, but not limited to: a schedule of Eligible
Accounts created, and Eligible Inventory purchased and received, since the
previous Collateral Report delivered to Lender; copies of invoices and
supporting delivery or service records in connection therewith; a schedule of
collections received; copies of credit memos or other advices of credit or
reductions against amounts previously billed; and such other reports as Lender
may request from time to time. If any of such reports or reports are prepared
by an accounting service or other agent, each Borrower hereby authorizes such
service or agent to deliver such records, reports and related documents to
Lender. Lender may exhibit a copy of this Agreement to any such service or
agent and such service or agent shall be entitled to rely on the provisions
hereof in providing such documentation to Lender. Each Collateral Report shall
bear a signed statement by an authorized officer of the Borrower delivering
same certifying the accuracy and completeness of all information included
therein and shall incorporate therein by reference, as if fully set forth
therein, all the terms and provisions hereof. The execution and delivery of a
Collateral Report shall in each instance constitute an agreement,
representation and warranty to Lender by the Borrower delivering same that,
except for the security interest of Lender therein: Such Borrower is the sole
owner of and has full unrestricted power to grant to Lender a continuing
security interest and lien in and to all Collateral included therein free from
any lien, security interest or encumbrance; each account included therein is in
existence, unconditional and valid, and arose from a bona fide outright sale of
Inventory in the ordinary course of business for liquidated amounts as set
forth in the Collateral Report, and such Inventory has been delivered or
provided to the respective account debtors; no account included therein arose
in connection with a contract or assignment which purports to make an
assignment or security interest therein void or conditions such assignment or
security interest on consent of the account debtor; no account is subject to
any sale, assignment, claim or security interest of any character and such
Borrower will not make any sale or other assignment thereof or create any other
security interest thereon; no account is subject to any claim for credit,
deduction, allowance, extension or adjustment, defense, dispute, setoff or
counterclaim, except for discounts for early payment allowed in the ordinary
course of business as previously disclosed to Lender and as reflected on the
face of the invoice evidencing such account; all Inventory reflected in such
Collateral Report is held for sale in the ordinary course of such Borrower's
business, and no such Inventory is located at any location in breach of the
requirements
-14-
<PAGE> 19
of this Agreement and no negotiable documents have been issued in respect of
any such Inventory; no Inventory reflected in such Collateral Report is
returned Inventory subject to the restrictions of paragraph 3.9 unless
otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing; and no Inventory reflected in such
Collateral Report is located in the "Fenced Area" or is "Petrus Inventory," as
those terms are defined in the Intercreditor Agreement.
3.7 Aging Reports. Within fifteen days after the end of each
calendar month, each Borrower shall furnish to Lender an analysis of amounts
owing on all accounts included within the Receivables owing to such Borrower,
showing an aging as follows: (i) those aged 30 days or less from date of
invoice, (ii) those aged over 30 days, but less than 61 days, from date of
invoice, (iii) those aged over 60 days, but less than 91 days, from date of
invoice, (iv) those aged over 90 days from date of invoice. Such analysis

Receivables shall be subject to an express trust for the benefit of Lender.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise by Lender in writing, all collections and
proceeds of Receivables shall be directed daily to Lender for deposit to a
Blocked Collection Amount. All collected funds from collections and proceeds
of Receivables from time to time deposited to a Blocked Collection Account
shall be applied directly to the Obligations. All checks processed for
collection and application to the Obligations shall be subject to one (1)
Business Day collection time and shall remain provisional until collected,
provided that for the sole purpose of calculating the Aggregate Availability
and applicable Borrower Availability, if any, from time to time under the
Revolving Facility, such checks shall be assumed to be collected and applied in
reduction of the Obligations as of the Business Day of receipt by Lender.
Borrowers will not use, dispose, withhold or otherwise exercise dominion over
any proceeds of Receivables. In the event any Borrower at any time receives
any collections or proceeds of Receivables, such Borrower shall promptly
deliver same to Lender in the form received, with any necessary endorsement to
the order of Lender. Each Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds
of Receivables with any other funds, and that no deposits will be made to a
Blocked Collection Account other than collections and proceeds of Receivables.
Borrowers shall have no right of withdrawal, transfer or access to any Blocked
Collection Account, and all amounts from time to time deposited to a Blocked
Collection Account shall remain subject to Lender's security interests under
this Agreement. Borrowers shall promptly report to Lender in writing any
instance in which a dispute of Receivables by an account debtor involves an
amount in excess of $100,000.00. Each Borrower agrees that it will not settle,
adjust, compromise, discharge or extend the time for
-15-
<PAGE> 20
payment of any Receivables involving an amount in excess of $100,000.00 without
Lender's consent.
3.9 Inventory. Each Borrower represents and warrants to lender
that all Inventory of such Borrower shall be held for sale in the ordinary
course of such Borrower's business, and is and will be fit for such purpose.
Each Borrower will keep its Inventory in good and marketable condition, at its
own expense. All sales of Inventory shall be in accordance with applicable
law. Each Borrower will maintain a perpetual inventory system at all times and
will conduct a physical count of its Inventory at least one per calendar year
and at Lender's request shall promptly supply Lender with a copy of such count.
No negotiable documents have been issued in respect of any Borrower's
Inventory, and none shall be issued without prior written notice to Lender and,
at Lender's request, completion of arrangements satisfactory to Lender for
possession of such negotiable documents to be delivered to Lender. No
Inventory is held by any Borrower on consignment or approval, or on a sale or
return, bill-and-hold, guaranteed sale, repurchase or similar basis and no
Inventory has been sold or delivered to any Person on consignment or approval,
or on a sale or return, bill- and-hold, guaranteed sale, repurchase or similar
basis. Borrowers will not acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or
approval, or on a sale or return, bill-and-hold, guaranteed sale, repurchase or
similar basis without the prior written consent of Lender and Borrowers will
not sell any Inventory on consignment or approval, or on a sale or return,
bill-and-hold, guaranteed sale, repurchase or similar basis without the prior
written consent of Lender. All cash receipts, if any, from time to time
received by any Borrower in respect of the sale of Inventory, including without
limitation cash, checks or similar items, shall be subject to an express trust
for the benefit of Lender and promptly delivered to Lender in the form received
for application in reduction of the Obligations. Each Borrower shall promptly
report to Lender in writing any instance in which Inventory returned to such
Borrower by an account debtor involves an amount in excess of $100,000.00 and,
unless Lender agrees otherwise; (i) such Borrower shall not issue any credits
or allowances with respect to such returned Inventory, and (ii) all such
returned Inventory shall be segregated from all other Inventory, and shall not
be reported as Eligible Inventory, unless and until it is demonstrated to
Lender's satisfaction that such returned Inventory is in saleable condition and
meets all criteria for Eligible Inventory. Unless otherwise agreed by Lender,
the amount of Borrower's accounts relating to all returned Inventory shall be
excluded from Eligible Accounts. All returned Inventory shall be subject to
Lender's continuing security interests under this Agreement.
3.10 Guaranty. Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Lender a
guaranty agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender,
-16-

due of all Obligations.
3.11 Insurance. Each Borrower shall keep and maintain adequate
insurance with respect to its business and all of its property at any time
included within the Collateral, written by insurers acceptable to Lender. Such
insurance shall be with respect to loss, damages, and liability of amounts not
less than reasonably requested by lender, and shall include, at minimum,
extended coverage insurance, insurance against business interruption, insurance
for workers compensation, and insurance for general premises liability, fire,
theft, burglary, pilferage, loss in transit, casualty and all risk. Borrowers
will make timely payment of all premiums required to maintain such insurance in
force. Borrower shall cause Lender to be an additional insured and loss payee
under all policies of insurance covering any of the Collateral, to the extent
of Lender's interest, in form satisfactory to Lender, Borrowers will cause each
policy of insurance to contain a clause or endorsement requiring the insurer to
give not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender in the event
of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever. Borrowers shall
deliver copies of each insurance policy to Lender upon request. If any
Borrower fails to procure such insurance or to pay the premiums therefor when
due, lender shall have the right (but with no obligation) to make such payment,
which amount such Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand or, at Lender's option
(but with no obligation to do so) Lender may add such amount to the unpaid
principal due by such Borrower under the Revolving Facility, in which event
such amount will be deemed paid and the aggregate amount thereof shall be
treated as a loan under the Revolving Facility. Each Borrower shall promptly
notify Lender of any loss, damage, or destruction to any of its property at any
time included within the Collateral. Lender is hereby authorized to collect
all insurance proceeds directly. After deducting from such proceeds the
expenses, if any, incurred by Lender in the collection or handling thereof,
Lender may apply such proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations, in such
order as Lender determines, or at Lender's option may permit or require that
such proceeds, or any part thereof, be used to replace, repair or restore the
Collateral in a diligent and expeditious manner with materials and workmanship
of substantially the same quality as existed before the loss, damage or
destruction.
3.12 Appraisals. Borrowers shall allow Lender, at Borrowers'
expense, to make arrangements for appraisals or updated appraisals with respect
to any Collateral at such times as Lender may request (provided, that
Borrower's obligations for such expenses shall not exceed $5,000.00 per
calendar year).
-17-
<PAGE> 22
3.13 Landlords, Bailees. Except as disclosed in Exhibit 3.4.,
Borrowers will not deliver possession or control of any Collateral to any
Person without Lender's prior written consent. Borrowers shall notify each
bailee, if any, from time to time in possession of any Collateral of Lender's
security interests under this Agreement. At Lender's request, any Borrower
shall obtain such bailee's acknowledgement of such notice and its agreement to
hold all Collateral from time to time in its possession subject to disposition
at Lender's direction. At Lender's request, any Borrower will cause the
landlord to execute and deliver to Lender a Landlord's Waiver with respect to
any leased locations where any of its property at any time included within the
Collateral will be located. Borrowers shall immediately notify Lender upon
receipt of any notice from any Person claiming past due rent, fees or other
charges in respect of any Collateral.
3.14 Right to Cure. Lender in its sole discretion may pay any
amount or take any action in order to preserve, protect and maintain the
Collateral and Lender's security interest therein, including without
limitation, payment of any insurance premium, any repair, maintenance or
storage charge, any landlord's claim, and any other encumbrance or claim
asserted against property of any Borrower at any time included within the
Collateral. All such payments and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses made or
incurred by Lender shall be payable by such Borrower to Lender on demand or, at
Lender's discretion, deemed as a loan to such Borrower under the Revolving
Facility as of the date or dates of Lender's disbursement thereof. Any payment
made or other action taken by Lender under this paragraph shall be without
prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or exercise any other
remedy hereunder.
3.15 Preservation of Lender's Rights. To the extent allowed by
law, neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees, and agents
shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral
or for any act or failure to act with respect to the Collateral, or for any
loss or damage thereto or any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act
by any other Person, in the case of any instruments and chattel paper included
within the Collateral, Lender shall have no duty or obligation to preserve
rights against prior parties. The Obligations shall not be affected by any
failure of Lender to take any steps to perfect its security interests or to
collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the
Collateral release any Borrower from any of the Obligations. Lender may extend
the time for payment of the Obligations or modify or amend the terms of any of
the Loan Documents, or compromise or grant other indulgences, renewals,
extensions or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect
to the Obligations or the Collateral, or any Person directly or indirectly
obligated in connection therewith, without impairing Lender's security
interests
-18-
<PAGE> 23
in the Collateral or any of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents.
3.16 Special Rights of Lender; Power of Attorney. Each Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact to take
any action necessary to preserve and protect the Collateral and Lender's
interests under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and
appoints Lender as attorney in fact to sign and file any financing statement or
other document necessary to perfect Lender's security interest in the
Collateral. Lender shall have the right at any time to take any of the
following action, in its own name or in the name of any Borrower, whether or
not an Event of Default is in existence: (i) make written or verbal requests
for verification of amounts owing on Receivables from any or all Persons which

3.17 Cross Collateralization; Cross Guaranties. Lender has
determined that loans to each Borrower are conditioned upon additional credit
support from all other Borrowers. Because of the interrelationships among
Borrowers and their respective operations, each Borrower has determined

such Borrower under this Agreement) that providing such additional credit
support is within is corporate purpose, will be of direct and indirect benefit
to such Borrower and is in its best interest. Accordingly: (i) each Borrower
hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest and lien in and to all

Agreement); and (ii) each Borrower shall execute and deliver for the benefit of
Lender a guaranty agreement pursuant to which such Borrower shall guarantee to

consideration of the availability loans to each of the other Borrowers under
this Agreement and is not required by Lender as a condition to the availability
of loans to such Borrower under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII. REMEDIES
8.1 Refusal of Funding. Lender shall have no obligation to make
any loan (i) at any time when any applicable condition for funding prescribed
under this Agreement has not been fulfilled to Lender's satisfaction, (ii) at
any time when any Event of Default is in existence, or when any condition
exists which after notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event
of Default, (iii) if Lender has received any notice under paragraph 6.13 or has
knowledge of any event or condition which would by the subject of any notice
required thereunder, or (iv) if any Borrower has repudiated or made any
anticipatory breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement; and any
loan requested at any such time may be declined by Lender, in whole or in part,
in Lender's sole discretion without prior notice. Without limitation of the
foregoing (and without limiting the significance of any defined Event of
Default), each Borrower acknowledges that an Event of Default under
subparagraphs (t) or (u) of paragraph 7.1 may result in refusal of further loan
requests without notice.
8.2 Remedies. Should an Event of Default occur at any time,
Lender may at its option declare the entire outstanding principal amount and
unpaid accrued interest of any part of the Obligations to be immediately due
and payable and, in addition, take any or all of the following action
(provided, that with respect to any Event of Default arising under paragraphs
6.1, 6.2, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 6.14, 6.15, or 6.16, ten (10) Business Days
shall first have passed after the occurrence of any such Event of Default); (i)

part thereof; (ii) take such steps as Lender may deem appropriate to foreclose
and enforce any and all liens and
-40-
<PAGE> 45
security interests now or hereafter granted to Lender to secure payment and
performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof; or (iii) exercise and
avail itself of any and all other remedies as may be available under the Loan
Documents or as otherwise may be available according to law. Without
limitation of the foregoing (and without limiting the significance of any
defined Event of Default), each Borrower acknowledges that an Event of Default
under subparagraphs (t) or (u) of paragraph 7.1 may result in the immediate
exercise of remedies hereunder without notice. Lender at all times shall have
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code, including but not
limited to the right to take possession or enforce direct payment of the
Receivables. Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise
adjust, sue for, foreclose or otherwise realize upon Collateral as Lender may
determine. In taking possession of any Collateral, Lender is authorized to
enter upon any premises owned or leased by any Borrower where any Collateral is
located. At its option, Lender may require any Borrower to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by
Lender which is reasonably convenient to both Lender and such Borrower.
Borrowers agree that Lender shall be entitled to dispose of any Collateral on
any Borrower's premises. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to
decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, Lender will give reasonable notice of the time and place of any public
sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition thereof is to be made. For this purpose, it is agreed that at
least five (5) days notice of the time of sale or other intended disposition of
the Collateral delivered in accordance with paragraph 9.3 shall be deemed to be
reasonable notice in conformity with the Code. Lender may adjourn or otherwise
reschedule any public sale by announcement at the time and place specified in
the notice of such public sale, and such sale may be made at the time and place
as so announced without necessity of further notice. Lender shall not be
obligated to sell or dispose of any Collateral, notwithstanding any prior
notice of intended disposition. With respect to any instruments or chattel
paper at any time included within the Collateral, Lender shall not have any
duty or obligation to take steps to preserve rights against prior parties.
8.3 Cash Collateral; Injunctive Relief. All cash proceeds of
Collateral from time to time existing, including without limitation collections
and payments of Receivables and cash receipts, if any, for other Collateral,
whether consisting of cash, checks or other similar items, at all times shall
be subject to an express trust for the benefit of Lender. All such proceeds
shall be subject to Lender's continuing security interests under this
Agreement. Except as may be specifically allowed otherwise by this Agreement,
each Borrower is expressly prohibited from using, spending, retaining or
otherwise exercising any dominion over such proceeds.
-41-
<PAGE> 46
Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that an action for damages against such
Borrower for any breach of such prohibitions shall not be an adequate remedy at
law. In the event of any such breach, each Borrower agrees too the fullest
extent allowed by law that Lender shall be entitled to injunctive relief to
restrain such breach and require compliance with the requirements of this
Agreement.
8.4 Enforcement Costs; Application of Proceeds. Borrowers jointly
and severally agree to pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including
legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, collection costs, and
traveling expenses, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting or enforcing any
of its rights hereunder, including its right to take possession, hold, store,
prepare for sale, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral and collect the
proceeds of any Collateral. Until reimbursed or otherwise paid, Lender is
hereby authorized to add all such expenses to the principal amount of the
Obligations. After deducting all of such expenses, any remaining proceeds of
collection or sale of the Collateral shall be applied in payment of the
Obligations in such manner as Lender may determine, and the excess, if any,
shall be disbursed by Lender in accordance with applicable law. Each Borrower
expressly agrees that it shall remain liable for any deficiency.
8.5 Waiver of Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, each Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of
intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest and any other notices
of any kind with respect to the Obligations.
8.6 Setoff. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to charge
any account of such Borrower maintained with Lender with such amount as may be
necessary from time to time to pay any Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that
Lender shall have a contractual right to set off any and all deposits or other
sums at any time credited by or due from Lender to such Borrower against any
part of the Obligations. Such right of setoff may be exercised at any time by
Lender without prior notice, irrespective of whether an Event of Default exists
or whether Lender has accelerated the Obligations. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default and for so long as the same shall remain in existence and not
cured or waived, Lender shall be entitled in its discretion to hold any such
deposits or other sums pending acceleration of the Obligations.
8.7 Performance by the Lender. Should any Borrower fail to
perform any covenant, duty, or agreement required by the Loan Documents, Lender
may, at its sole option and election, perform or attempt to perform same on
behalf of such Borrower at such Borrower's cost and expenses, provided that
Lender shall have no
-42-
<PAGE> 47
obligation or duty to take any such action. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse
Lender for such costs and expenses on demand.
8.8 Non-waiver. Forbearance or indulgence by Lender of any Event
of Default or any other event or condition which is or would be the subject of
a require notice under paragraph 6.13, at any time from time to time, shall not
be deemed a waiver of any rights of Lender under the Loan Documents. The
acceptance by Lender at any time and from time to time of any partial payment
of the Obligations shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default
then existing. No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right or
remedy shall impair such right or remedy, or be construed as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights or remedies
preclude other or further exercise thereof. Lender shall not be required or
obligated to file suit or otherwise pursue any other Person for enforcement or
collection of any of the Obligations or to take any action to realize upon any
of the Collateral.
8.9 Application of Payments. During the existence of any Event of
Default, all payments and proceeds of Collateral received by Lender shall be
applied to the Obligations in Lender's discretion, and Lender shall have the
right to adjust or reapply in another manner any such payments and proceeds as
Lender may determine in its discretion.

for in this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall
continue for the benefit of all Indemnified Persons. Except as specifically
provided in this paragraph, each Borrower waives all notices from any
Indemnified Person.
9.7 Non-applicability of Chapter 15 of Texas Credit Code. Chapter
15 of the Texas Credit Code shall not be applicable to this Agreement or the
Revolving Facility.
9.8 Yield Protection. If at any time after the date hereof, and
from time to time, Lender determines that the adoption or modification of any
applicable law, rule or regulation regarding taxation, Lender's required levels
of reserves, deposits, insurance or capital (including any allocation of
capital requirements or conditions), or similar requirements, or any
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or
compliance of Lender with any of such requirements, has or would have the
effect of increasing Lender's costs relating to the Obligations or reducing the
yield or rate of
-45-
<PAGE> 50
return of Lender on the Obligations to a level at least one-quarter of one
person (.0025%) below that which Lender could have achieved but for the
adoption or modification of any such requirements, then within 15 days of any
request by Lender, Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as
will compensate Lender for such increase in costs or reduction in yield or rate
of return of Lender, provided, that such amount shall only be payable in the
event Lender elects to require a similar payment or adjustment in respect of
substantially all other similarly situated borrowers. No failure by Lender to
immediately demand payment of any additional amounts payable hereunder shall
constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amounts at any
subsequent time. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or so operate as
require Borrower to pay any interests, fees, costs, or charges greater than is
permitted by applicable law.
9.9 Judgment Interest. It is agreed that any judgment entered by
a court in favor of Lender against any Borrower for payment of the Obligations,
or any part thereof, shall provide for post-judgment interest on the amount
thereof at a rate equal to the Maximum Rate.
9.10 Interest Limitation. In no contingency or event whatsoever
shall the amount of interest under the Loan Documents paid by any Borrower,
received by Lender, agreed to be paid by any Borrower, or requested or demanded
to be paid by Lender, exceed the Maximum Rate. In the event any such sums paid
to Lender by any Borrower would exceed the Maximum Rate, Lender shall
automatically apply such excess to any unpaid principal or, if the amount of
such excess exceeds said unpaid principal, such excess shall be paid to such
Borrower. All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, by any Borrower which are or
hereafter may be construed to be compensation for the use, forbearance, or
detention of money shall be amortized, prorated, spread and allocated in
respect of the Obligations throughout the full Contract Term until the
Obligations are paid in full. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in the
Loan Documents, or in any notes or other related documents executed pursuant
hereto, Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest
any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate and, in the event Lender ever
receives, collects, or applies any amount in respect of any Borrower that
otherwise would be in excess of the Maximum Rate, such amount shall
automatically be deemed to be applied in reduction of the unpaid principal
balance of the Obligations and, if such principal balance is paid in full, any
remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to such Borrower. In determining
whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency
exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrowers and Lender shall, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as a
standby fee, commitment fee, prepayment charge, delinquency charge or
reimbursement for a
-46-
<PAGE> 51
third-party expense rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effect thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in
equal parts throughout the entire period during which the indebtedness was
outstanding the total amount of interest at any time contracted for, charged or
received. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or so operate as to
require any Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs, or charges greater than
is permitted by applicable law. Subject to the foregoing, each Borrower hereby
agrees that the actual effective rate of interest from time to time existing
with respect to loans made by Lender to such Borrower, including all amounts
agreed to by such Borrower or charged or received by Lender, which may be
deemed to be interest under applicable law, shall be deemed to be a rate which
is agreed to and stipulated by such Borrower and Lender in accordance with
applicable law.
9.11 Continuing Rights of Lender in Respect of Obligations. In the
event any amount from time to time applied in reduction of the Obligations is a
subsequently set aside, avoided, declared invalid or recovered by any Borrower
or any trustee or in bankruptcy, or in the event Lender is otherwise required
and refund or repay any such amount pursuant to any applicable law, then the
Obligations shall automatically be deemed to be revived and increased to the
extent of such amount and the same shall continue to be secured by the
Collateral as if such amount had not been so applied.
9.12 Fees, Costs and Expenses. Borrowers jointly and severally
agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection
with the Loan Documents, including without limitation: (i) negotiation,
preparation and closing of the Loan Documents, including appraisal fees,
reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements, search fees, filing and recording
fees, (ii) ongoing administration of the Loan Documents, including without
limitation, reasonable fees and costs incurred in consultation with attorneys,
accountants or appraisers or in connection with any factual investigation,
(iii) negotiation, preparation and closing of any amendment, waiver or consent
relating to the Loan Documents, including appraisal, reasonable attorneys fees
and disbursements, search fees, filing and recording fees, and (iv) enforcing
any provision of the Loan Documents, including without limitation reasonable
fees and costs of attorneys, experts or other consultants retained by Lender in
connection therewith and any other fees pursuant to paragraph 8.4. Borrowers
will pay any applicable stamp, registration, recordation and similar taxes,
fees and charges in respect of the Collateral or perfection or maintenance of
Lender's rights under the Loan Documents, and agree to indemnity Lender against
any liabilities resulting from any delay, deferral or omission in payment of
any such taxes, fees or charges. All fees, costs and expenses for which
Borrowers are
-47-
<PAGE> 52
obligated under the Loan Documents shall be payable to Lender on demand. At
Lender's option, the amount of such fees, costs and expenses owing by any
Borrower may be deducted from the proceeds of any loan to such Borrower
hereunder or added to the unpaid principal due by such Borrower under the
Revolving Facility, in which event such fees, costs and expenses will be deemed
paid and the amount thereof shall be treated as a loan to such Borrower under
the Revolving Facility.
9.13 Acceptance and Performance. This Agreement shall become
effective only upon acceptance by Lender. The Obligations are payable at
Lender's offices in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. Each Borrower and Lender
agrees that Dallas County, Texas shall be the exclusive venue for litigation of
any dispute or claim arising under or relating to the Loan Documents, and that
such county is a convenient forum in which to decide any such dispute. Each
Borrower and Lender consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas for the litigation of any such
dispute or claim.
9.14 Obligations. Lender's rights in respect of the Obligations
shall not be impaired by reason that the amount thereof at any time exceeds any
stated maximum or other limitation provided herein.
9.15 Express Waivers by Borrowers in respect of
Cross-Collateralization and Cross Guaranties. In connection with the matters
provided in paragraph 3.17, each Borrower agrees as follows:
(a) Borrower hereby waives: (1) notice of acceptance of
this Agreement; (2) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made
or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any
Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject, however, to
Borrower's right to make inquiry of Lender to ascertain the amount of the
Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the
financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might
increase Borrower's risk with respect to such other Borrower under this
Agreement; (5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice
thereof as to any promissory notes or other instruments among the Loan
Documents; and (7) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically
required to be given to Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents
to which Borrower is a party) and demands to which Borrower might otherwise be
entitled.
(b) Borrower hereby waives the right by statute or
otherwise to require Lender to institute suit against any Borrower or to
exhaust any rights and remedies which Lender has or may have
-48-
<PAGE> 53
against any Borrower. Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of
any disability or other defense of any other Borrower (other than the defense
that the Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and
indefeasibly paid) or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of
the liability of any such Borrower in respect thereof.
(c) Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert
against Lender: (1) any defense (legal or equitable), set- off, counterclaim,
or claim which Borrower may now or at any time hereafter have against any other
Borrower or any other party liable to Lender; (2) any defense, set-off,
counterclaim, or claim of any kind or nature available to any other Borrower
against Lender, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack
of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or
any security therefor; (3) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim
or defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender under any applicable
law; (4) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any other
Borrower's liability hereunder.
(d) In addition to the foregoing waivers, Borrower hereby
waives outright and absolutely, any right of subrogation Borrower has or may
have against any other Borrower with respect to the Obligations. In addition,
Borrower hereby waives any right to proceed against any other Borrower, now or
hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, and any other suretyship
rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent,
whether arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which
Borrower may now have or hereafter have as against any other suretyship rights
and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether
arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which
Borrower may now have or hereafter have as against any such other Borrower with
respect to the Obligations. Borrower also hereby waives any rights to recourse
to or with respect to any asset of any other Borrower. Borrower agrees that in
light of the immediately foregoing waivers, the execution of this Agreement
shall not be deemed to make Borrower a "creditor" of any other Borrower, and
that for purposes of Sections 547 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code Borrower shall
not be deemed a "creditor" of any other Borrower.
(e) Borrower consents and agrees that, without notice to
or by Borrower and without affecting or impairing the obligations of Borrower
hereunder, Lender may, by action or inaction: (a) compromise, settle, extend
the duration or the time for the payment of, or discharge the performance of,
or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce the Loan documents; (b) release all
or any one ore more parties to any one or more of the Loan Documents or grant
other indulgences to any other Borrower in respect thereof; (c) amend or
-49-
<PAGE> 54
modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any of the Loan
Documents; or (d) release or substitute any other guarantor, if any, of the
Obligations, or enforce, exchange, release, or waive any security for the
Obligations or any other guaranty of the Obligations, or any portion thereof.
(f) Lender shall have the right to seek recourse against
Borrower to the fullest extent provided for herein, and no election by Lender
to proceed in one form or action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any
obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Lender's right to proceed in any other
form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless Lender has
expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Lender under any
document or instrument evidencing the Obligations shall serve to diminish the
liability of Borrower under this Agreement except to the extent that Lender
finally and unconditionally shall have realized indefeasible payment by such
action or proceeding.
(g) Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that
Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of all other
Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal
and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Borrower
further represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower has read and
understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby
covenants that Borrower will continue to keep informed of the financial
condition of all other Borrowers, the financial condition of Guarantor , and of
all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or
nonperformance of the Obligations.

as a financing statement.

respect to the provisions of any law which purport to limit the amount of
interest that may be contracted for, charged or received in connection with any

discretion. Each Borrower waives any right to require marshalling.
9.24 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future laws
effective during the Contract Term, such provisions shall be fully severable,

or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement. In
such case, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and shall not be effected thereby.

Pending lawsuits or proceedings.
Brokerage Services of America, Inc. Peter N. Streit, Sibylle A. Streit and
Earnest Blank, Plaintiffs, v. James Crocco, George K. Broady, Mike DeBlock,
Ultrak, Inc. and Exxis Technologies, Inc., Defendants; Cause No. 93-07167-C.
On July 9, 1993, a lawsuit against the Company, George K. Broady and others,
was filed in the 68th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas. The
individual plaintiffs in this case are the principal officers of Brokerage
Services of America, Inc. ("BSA"). In 1992 these individuals held meetings
with George K. Broady to discuss a possible investment by Ultrak in BSA or
venture with BSA. After conducting a "due diligence" review of BSA, the
officers of Ultrak decided not to make an investment in BSA or with BSA. The
plaintiffs allege that the defendants breached an oral contract t purchase BSA
and seek unspecified actual and punitive damages against all defendants,
jointly and severally. Ultrak, Exxis Technologies, Inc. and Mr. Broady have
timely filed an answer to the Plaintiff's Original Petition denying any
liability. Ultrak intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
Ingram Micro, Inc. v. Ultrak, Inc. and Exxis Technologies, Inc.; No.
SACV93-459-GLT. Ingram Micro sued Ultrak and Exxis on April 26, 1993 in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana
office, for $62,908.39 plus ten percent (10%) from the date of filing of the
lawsuit, attorneys' fees of $4,156.33, costs of suit and other relief. Suit is
for goods sold and delivered. Plaintiff claims that both Ultrak and Exxis
signed a writing whereby each agreed to pay Plaintiff any amount owed. Ultrak
is being defended by California counsel. Ultrak claims that Plaintiff is
indebted to Ultrak/Exxis in an amount exceeding $200,000.

2. Obligations. As an inducement to the Lender to advance monies
or extend credit to Borrower, or otherwise assist the Borrower in financing the
business or sales of the Borrower, the Guarantor, for value received, does
hereby guarantee to the Lender the prompt payment in full when due or declared
due and at all times thereafter of any and all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness
and the prompt, full and faithful performance and discharge by the Borrower of
each and every one of the items, conditions, agreements, representations,
warranties, covenants, warranties, and provisions ont he part of the Borrower
contained in any agreement or arrangement or in any modification or addenda
thereto or substitution thereof, or contained in any note, security investment,
schedule and Assignment of Accounts, collateral reports, or other instruments
heretofore or hereafter given by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lender, or
otherwise, or contained in any other agreements, undertakings or obligations of
the Borrower with or to the Lender, or any agreement or indebtedness assigned
to the Lender of any kind or nature. The Guarantor shall not, so long as his
obligations under this guaranty continue, transfer or pledge any material
portion of his assets for less than full and adequate consideration.
3. Character of Obligations. This instrument shall be an
absolute, unconditional, and continuing guaranty, and the circumstances that at
any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Indebtedness may be paid in full
shall not affect the obligation of the Guarantor with respect to indebtedness
of Borrower to the Lender thereafter incurred, provided that the Guarantor may
give written notice that the Guarantor will not be liable hereunder for any
indebtedness of Borrower incurred after the giving of such notice (which notice
shall not be deemed to have been given until actually received by the Lender).
In the event of such notice the Guarantor shall remain liable on his
obligations hereunder until the payment in full of (a) the Guaranteed
Indebtedness as it exits at the date of the giving of such notice, and (b)
loans and advances made to or for the account of Borrower after such notice
pursuant to the obligation of the Lender under a commitment or agreement made
to or with Borrower prior to the giving of such notice. The terms and
conditions of this instrument, including, but not limited to, the consents and
waivers set forth in Section 4 hereof, shall remain in effect with respect to
the indebtedness described in the preceding sentence in the same manner as if
such notice had not been received. It shall not be necessary for the Lender,
in order to enforce payment hereunder by the Guarantor, first to institute suit
or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or otherwise liable ont eh Guaranteed
Indebtedness, or to enforce its rights against any security which shall ever
have been given to secure the Guaranteed Indebtedness. It is the intention of
the parties hereto that the Guarantor shall be primarily liable jointly and
severally with the Borrower and that the Guaranteed
-63-
<PAGE> 68
Indebtedness may be recovered in the same or separate actions brought to
recover the principal indebtedness. Payment of the sums for which the
Guarantor becomes liable shall be made to the Lender at its office in Dallas,
Dallas County, Texas, from time to time, on demand, or as the same become or
are declared due, notwithstanding that the Lender holds reserves, credits,
collateral or security against which the Lender may b e entitled to resort for
payment. One or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon
against the Guarantor, either in the same action in which Borrower is sued or
in separate actions, as often as Lender deems advisable. The Guarantor
expressly waives and bars himself form any right to setoff, recoup or
counterclaim any claim or demand against the Borrower or against any other
person liable on any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness. As further security
to the Lender, any assets of the Guarantor of any kind, nature or description
in the Lender's possession, custody or control, may without further notice, be
reduced to cash and, together with any other cash and any and all indebtedness
owed t the Guarantor by the Lender, may be applied by the Lender in reduction
or payment of any liability incurred hereunder, and all debts or liabilities
now and hereafter owing to the Guarantor by the Borrower or by any other person
are hereby subordinated to the Lender's claims and are hereby assigned to the
Lender.
4. Consent and Waiver. The Guarantor, without limiting his
liability hereunder in any respect, hereby consents to and waives notice of,
and hereby agrees that his obligations under the terms of this guaranty shall
not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected by the occurrence
of any one or more of the following events: (a) the taking or accepting of any
security or guaranty for any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (b) any
release, surrender, exchange, subordination, or loss of any security at any
time existing in connection with any or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (c)
any partial release of the liability of the Guarantor, or the partial or total
release of any other guarantor or guarantors; (d) the death, insolvency,
bankruptcy, disability, or lack of corporate power of Borrower, the Guarantor,
or any party at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness, whether now existing or hereafter occurring; (e) any renewal,
extension, or rearrangement of the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness, or any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, or compromise that
may be granted or given by the Lender to Borrower or the Guarantor; (f) any
neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of the Lender to take or
prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness
or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action in connection with any
instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the
Guaranteed Indebtedness; (g) any failure of the Lender to notify the Guarantor
of any renewal, extension, or assignment of the Guaranteed indebtedness or any
part
-64-
<PAGE> 69
thereof, or the release of any security or of any other action taken or
refrained from being taken by the Lender against Borrower or any new agreement
between the Lender and Borrower, it being understood that the Lender shall not
be required to give the guarantor any notice of any kind under any
circumstances whatsoever with respect to or in connection with the Guaranteed
Indebtedness; (h) in the event that Borrower is a corporation, joint stock
association, or partnership, or is hereafter incorporated, the unenforceability
of all or any part of the Guaranteed Indebtedness against Borrower by reason of
the fact that the Guaranteed Indebtedness exceeds the amount permitted bylaw,
the act of creating the Guaranteed Indebtedness, or any part hereof, is ultra
vires, or the officers creating same acted in excess of their authority; (i)
any payment by Borrower to the Lender is held to constitute a preference under
the bankruptcy laws or if for any other reason the Lender is required to refund
such payment or pay the amount thereof to someone else; or (j) the subsequent
laws incorporation, reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Borrower.

credit thereon, and presentment, demand, notices of default, nonpayment or
partial payments and protest, notice of protest and all other notices or

this guaranty; (2) notice of any loans or other financial
accommodations made or extended to Borrowers or the creation or

the Guaranteed Indebtedness; and (7) all other notices (except as may
otherwise be specifically agreed to in writing with Lender) and

(b) Guarantor hereby waives the right by statute or
otherwise to require Lender to institute suit against Borrower or any
guarantor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which Lender has or
may have against Borrower or any guarantor.

<PAGE> 70
Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any
disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor (other
than the defense that the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be been fully
and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) or by reason of the
cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or
such Guarantor in respect thereof.
(c) Guarantor hereby waives: (1) any rights to assert
against Lender any defense (legal or equitable), set- off,
counterclaim, or claim which Guarantor may now or at any time
hereafter have against Borrower to any other guarantor of any other
party liable to Lender; (2) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or
claim of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the
present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or
enforceability of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any security
therefor; (3) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or
defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender under applicable
law of any jurisdiction; (4) the benefit of any statute of limitations
affecting the liability of Borrowers for the Guaranteed Indebtedness,
or the enforcement thereof, or Guarantor's liability hereunder, and
any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statue of
limitations applicable of the Guaranteed indebtedness shall similarly
operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations
applicable to Guarantor's liability hereunder.
(d) In addition to the foregoing waivers, Guarantor
hereby waives outright and absolutely, any right of subrogation
Guarantor has or may have against Borrower or any other guarantor with
respect to the Guaranteed Indebtedness. In addition, Guarantor hereby
waives any right to proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor,
now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, and any
other suretyship rights and claims, whether direct or indirect,
liquidated or contingent, whether arising under express or implied
contract or by operation of law, which Guarantor may now have or
hereafter have as against Borrower or any such other guarantor with
respect to the Guaranteed Indebtedness. Guarantor also hereby waives
any rights to recourse to or with respect to any asset of Borrower
Guarantor agrees that in light of the immediately foregoing waivers,
the execution of this guaranty shall not be deemed to make Guarantor a
"creditor" of Borrower or any other guarantor, and that for purposes
of Sections 547 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code Guarantor shall not be
deemed a "creditor" of Borrower or any other guarantor.
(e) Guarantor consented and agrees that, without notice

<PAGE> 71
obligations of Guarantor hereunder, Lender, may, by action or

the payment of, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to or
otherwise not enforce its rights or remedies in respect of the
Guaranteed Indebtedness; (b) release all or any one or more parties at
any time obligated in respect of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or grant
other indulgences to Borrower or any other guarantor in respect
thereof; (c) amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from
time to time) any agreement, instrument or other document evidencing
or governing any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; or (d) release or
substitute any other guarantor, if any, of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness, or enforce, exchange, release, or waive any security of
the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any other guaranty of the Guaranteed
Indebtedness, or any portion thereof.
(f) Lender shall have the right to seek recourse against
Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein, and no election
by Lender to proceed in one form or action or proceeding, or against
any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Lender's
right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against
other parties unless Lender has expressly waived such right in
writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no action or proceeding by Lender under any document or
instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall serve to
diminish the liability of Guarantor under this guaranty except to the
extent that Lender finally and unconditionally have realized
indefeasible payment by such action or proceeding.
(g) Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that
Guarantor is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrower
and all other guarantors and of all other circumstances which a
diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness. Guarantor further
represents and warrants to Lender that Guarantor has read and
understands the terms and conditions of all agreements instruments and
other documents executed by Borrower and Lender. Guarantor hereby
covenants that Guarantor will continue to keep informed of the
financial condition of Borrower and all other guarantors, and of all
other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or

creditors, the calling of a Borrower's property, a default by Borrower in the
payment or repurchase of any of the Guaranteed Indebtedness as the same falls

notice, mature immediately upon the Lender becoming aware of the falsity of any
statement or representation hereof, or upon the insolvency of the Guarantor,

filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, reorganization, or
arrangement, the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the

undertaking. If the Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by

guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected
hereby, and the rights of the Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and
all other rights that the Lender may ever have against the Guarantor.

obligation on the part of the Lender to extend credit to the Borrower, or as an
obligation to continue to extend credit. The Lender's records showing the
account between the Lender and the Borrower shall be admissible in evidence in
any action or proceeding involving this guaranty, and such records shall be

Guaranteed Indebtedness, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits
hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be
transferred with such indebtedness. This guaranty is binding not only on the
Guarantor, but on the Guarantor's successors and assigns.
8. Death of Guarantor. In the event of the death of the
Guarantor, the obligation of the estate of the deceased Guarantor shall
continue in full force and effect as to (i) the Guaranteed Indebtedness, as it
exists at the date of death, and any renewals or extensions thereof, and (ii)
loans or advances made to or for the account of Borrower after the date of
death of the deceased

<PAGE> 73
Guarantor pursuant to an obligation of Lender under a commitment made to
Borrower prior to the date of such death, subject only to the limitation, if
any be herein specified, on the amount of the Guaranteed Indebtedness.
9. Other Matters. The headings used in this Guaranty are for the
convenience only of the parties, and shall not be deemed to modify the terms,
and provisions hereof. No modification, consent, amendment or waiver of any
provision of this guaranty, nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
an officer of the Lender, and then shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand of the
Guarantor is any case shall, of itself, entitle the Guarantor to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No delay or
omission by the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair
any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power preclude
other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or power
hereunder. All rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder are cumulative of
each other and every other right or remedy which the Lender may otherwise have
at law or in equity or under any other contract or document and the exercise of
one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or
subsequent exercise or other rights or remedies. If the Guaranty should breach
or fail to perform any provision of this guaranty, the Guarantor agrees to pay
the Lender all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Lender in the enforcement hereof.
EXECUTED as of the date first written above.

<PAGE> 1
EXHIBIT 10.7
ULTRAK, INC.
1988 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. Purpose. The purpose of this 1988 Stock Option Program (the
"Program") is to provide a means by which certain employees of Ultrak,
Inc. and its Affiliates (the "Company") may be given an opportunity to
purchase common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"). The Program is
intended to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging stock
ownership on the part of certain employees, by enabling the Company to
secure and retain the services of highly qualified persons and by
providing employees with an additional incentive to advance the
success of the Company. For purposes of this Program, Affiliate shall
mean any subsidiary corporation of the Company as defined in Sections
425(e) and (f) respectively of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended (hereinafter the "Code"). Affiliation shall refer to a group
of Affiliates.
2. Stock Subject to Option. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Sections 4(h) and (j) hereof, Options may be granted by the Company
from time to time to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares
of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock, provided that
the number of shares that may be granted to any employee under the
Program shall be reasonable in relation to the purpose of the Program.
Shares that by reason of the expiration of an Option or otherwise are
no longer subject to purchase pursuant to an Option granted under the
Program may be re-Optioned under the Program. The Company shall not
be required, upon the exercise of any Option, to issue or deliver any
shares of stock prior to the completion of such exemption,
registration or other qualification of such shares under state or
Federal law, rule or regulation as the Company shall determine to be
necessary or desirable.
3. Participants. All employees of the Company may be granted Options
under the Program. An employee of the Company shall mean any person
employed full-time for whom the Company is obligated to provide W-2
Forms under the Internal Revenue Code, and who is designated in
writing, at time of employment, as a full-time employee.
4. Terms and Conditions of Options. The Committee (as that term is
defined in Section 5) may grant Options from time to time pursuant to
the Program. Such Options shall be evidenced by written agreements
substantially in the form of the Stock Option Agreement which is
attached hereto as Appendix "A", and shall not be inconsistent with
this Program. Shares of stock that may be purchased under an Option
granted pursuant to this Program shall sometimes hereinafter be
referred to as "Option Shares". Nothing in this Program or an Option
granted hereunder shall govern the employment rights and duties
<PAGE> 2
between the Optionee and the Company or Affiliate. Neither this
Program, nor any grant or exercise pursuant thereto, shall constitute
an employment agreement among such parties.
(a) Option Price. The Option Price for each Option Share shall be
determined by the Board of Directors from time to time.
(b) Term of Option. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Program, each Option granted under this Plan shall expire not
more than ten years from the earlier of the date of employment
of Optionee or the date the Option is granted except as
provided in Section 4(e), 4(f), 4(g) and 4(h) under which
Options may expire or terminate at an earlier date.
(c) Exercise of Option. Each Option shall be exercisable at any
time during the term of the Option to the extent of the total
number of shares covered by the Option multiplied by twenty
percent (20%) and by the number of year(s) of service (as
defined below) of the Optionee. For purposes of Options
agreed to be granted on or before April 15, 1988, the number
of year(s) of service means the period beginning on the
earlier of the date when the Optionee was employed by the
Company or Affiliate (but in no event earlier than April 25,
1986) or the date the Option is granted and each anniversary
thereafter of the Optionee's continuous employment with the
Company. For purposes of Options granted after April 15,
1988, the number of years of service means the period
beginning the Date of Grant (unless express provision is made
otherwise) and each anniversary thereafter of the Optionee's
continuous employment with the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Optionee shall be entitled to
exercise the total number of shares covered by the Option if
(i) Optionee dies or becomes disabled while employed by the
Company; (ii) the Company is dissolved or liquidated; (iii)
the Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized, and the
Company is not the surviving entity; (iv) substantially all
property and assets of the Company are sold or otherwise
disposed of in a context other than sale of contracts for
financing purposes; (v) a "Fifty Percent Acquisition" (as
defined below) occurs; (vi) if the Compensation Committee with
approval of the Board of Directors approves otherwise; or
(vii) if Optionee is terminated (but not for cause) and his
written employment agreement so provides.
A "Fifty Percent Acquisition" means a purchase or other
acquisition by any individuals or entity including, but not
limited to corporations, partnerships or other
2
<PAGE> 3
business organizations, whereby such individual or entity
owns, immediately after, but not before, such purchase or
other acquisition, more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
combined voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company.
Where an Optionee's employment by the Company is terminated
for any reason other than death or disability including, but
not limited to, the Optionee's transfer to a Company
Affiliate, no Option shall give an Optionee (or his successor)
a right to acquire any greater number of shares than he had
rights to acquire on the date of his termination.
(d) Manner of Exercise. Shares of Common Stock purchased upon
exercise of Options shall at the time of purchase be paid for
in full. To the extent that the right to purchase shares has
accrued hereunder, Options may be exercised from time to time
by written notice to the Company stating the full number of
shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and
the time of delivery thereof, which shall be at least fifteen
days after the giving of such notice unless an earlier date
shall have been mutually agreed upon, accompanied by full
payment for the shares by one of the following (or combination
thereof) selected for the Optionee by the Company in its sole
discretion: (i) certified or official bank check or the
equivalent thereof acceptable to the Company; or (ii)
tendering property including, but not limited to, shares of
Common Stock of the Company with a fair market value at least
equal to the aggregate Option price for the Option Shares to
be acquired. Where the Optionee exercises his Options by
tendering Common Stock of the Company, the fair market value
of such shares as of the date of the tendering of the Common
Stock of the Company is received by the Company (the "date of
exercise") shall be established in good faith by the Board of
Directors. In setting the fair market value as of the date of
exercise, due regard shall be given to all facts and
circumstances. However, if an active market exists for the
Common Stock, the lowest closing bid price on the date of
exercise shall be set by the Board of Directors, as the fair
market value. If an active market does not exist at the date
of exercise, an Optionee may condition his exercise on the
Board of Directors establishing a fair market value above the
amount specified in the Optionee's written notice. Any shares
tendered which are not used to satisfy payment for the
exercise of an Option shall be returned to the Optionee.
At the time of delivery, the Company shall, without stock
transfer tax to the Optionee (or other person entitled to
exercise the Option), deliver to the Optionee (or to such
3
<PAGE> 4
other person) at the principal office of the Company, or such
other place as shall be mutually agreed upon, a certificate or
certificates for such shares; provided, however, that the time
of delivery may be postponed by the Company for such period as
may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply
with any requirements of law. In the event the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of an Option is not registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), then the Company at
the time of exercise will require, in addition, that the
registered owner deliver an Investment Representation in the
form attached hereto as Appendix B to the Company and its
counsel and the Company will place a legend on the certificate
for such Common Stock restricting the transfer of same. There
shall be no obligation or duty for the Company to register
under the Act at any time the Common Stock issuable under
exercise of the Options.
(e) Termination of Employment.
(1) In the event that the Optionee's employment by the
Company shall terminate with cause (as defined below
or as defined in any written employment agreement
with Optionee), the Options granted to the Optionee
pursuant to this Program shall terminate immediately.
In the event that Optionee's employment by the
Company shall terminate without cause (as defined
below), the Optionee shall have the right to exercise
his Option at any time within 30 days after such
termination to the extent he was entitled to exercise
the same immediately prior to the termination (unless
express provision is made otherwise in any written
employment agreement with Optionee allowing Optionee
to exercise his Option to the total number of shares
covered by such Option). Termination with cause
means that the Company terminates the Optionee's
employment with the Company (i) where there has been
a material breach by the Optionee of any of the terms
of any employment contract, if any, or (ii) where the
Optionee is guilty of fraud or embezzlement, or has
conducted himself in a way punishable as a felony or
constituting malfeasance, gross negligence, gross
incompetence, moral turpitude or drug or alcohol
abuse that could in the opinion of a reasonable
person materially impair the Optionee's ability to
perform his duties or injure the assets, properties,
operations or business reputation of the Company.
Termination without cause means any termination
including, but not limited to, the Optionee's
voluntary resignation or the Optionee's
4
<PAGE> 5
transfer to a Company Affiliate, which is not with
cause and to which the provisions of Sections 4(e)(2)
(Death and Disability), 4(e)(3) (Retirement) and 4(g)
(Dissolution, etc., of the Issuer of Option Stock) do
not apply.
(2) In the event that Optionee shall die while in the
employment of the Company or if Optionee's employment
by the Company is terminated because Optionee has
become disabled within the meaning of Section
105(d)(4) of the Code, Optionee, his estate or
beneficiary shall have the right to exercise his
Options at any time within twelve (12) months from
the date of death of Optionee or termination of his
employment due to disability, as the case may be, to
the extent of the total number of shares covered by
the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
provisions of this Section 4(e)(2) shall be subject
to Sections 4(h) (Adjustment of Option Upon
Reorganization) and 4(g) (Dissolution, etc., of
Issuer of Option Stock) as may earlier terminate the
Option.
(3) In the event that termination of employment is due to
retirement with the consent of his employer, the
Optionee shall have the right to exercise his Option
at any time within three (3) months after such
retirement to the extent he was entitled to exercise
the same immediately prior to retirement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this
Section 4(e)(3) shall be subject to Sections 4(h)
(Adjustment of Option Upon Reorganization) and 4(g)
(Dissolution, etc., of Issuer of Option Stock) as may
earlier terminate the Option.
(f) Adjustment of Options on Recapitalization. The aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock for which Options may be
granted to persons participating under the Program, the number
of shares covered by each such Option and the exercise price
per share for each such Option, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from the
subdivision or consolidation of shares, or the payment of a
stock dividend after the date of grant of the Option, or other
increase in such shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that any
Options to purchase fractional shares resulting from any such
adjustment shall be eliminated.
(g) Dissolution, Sale of Assets or Stock of Issuer of Option
Stock. In the event of the: (i) dissolution or
5
<PAGE> 6
liquidation of the Company; (ii) merger, consolidation or
reorganization of the Company where the Company is not the
surviving entity; (iii) sale, lease exchange or other form of
disposition of substantially all property and assets of the
Company other than sale of contracts for financing purposes;
or (iv) a Fifty Percent Acquisition, the Options granted
hereunder shall terminate as of a date to be fixed by the
Committee, provided that not less than thirty (30) days' prior
written notice of the date so fixed shall be given to the
Optionee, and the Optionee shall have the right, during the
period of thirty (30) days preceding such termination of the
Option, to exercise his Option to the extent of the total
shares covered by the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the provisions of this Section shall be subject to Section
4(h) (Adjustment of Options Upon Reorganization) if the
Optionee receives notice under Section 4(h) (Adjustments of
Options Upon Reorganization) at a time earlier than the notice
provided for herein.
(h) Adjustment of Options Upon Certain Reorganization.
(1) If the Company shall at any time merge or consolidate
with or into another corporation without the sale of
substantially all assets or the sale of more than
fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock and (A) the
Company is not the surviving entity, or (B) the
Company is the surviving entity and the shareholders
of the Company Common Stock are required to exchange
their shares for property and/or securities, the
holder of each Option will thereafter receive, upon
the exercise thereof, the securities and/or property
to which a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock then deliverable upon the exercise of such
Option would have been entitled to receive upon such
merger or consolidation, and the Company shall take
such steps in connection with such merger or
consolidation as may be necessary to assure that the
provisions of this Program shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any securities or property thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of such Option.
(2) The resulting Affiliation following any
reorganization may at any time, in its sole
discretion, tender substitute Options as it may deem
appropriate. However, in no event may the substitute
Options entitle the Optionee to any fewer shares (or
at any greater aggregate price) or any less other
property than the Optionee would be entitled to under
the immediately preceding
6
<PAGE> 7
paragraph upon an exercise of the Options held prior
to the substitution of the new Option.
(i) Rights as a Shareholder. The Optionee shall have no rights as
a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock of
the Company held under Option until the date of issuance of
the stock certificates to him for such shares. Except as
provided in Section 4(f) (Adjustment of Options on
Recapitalization), no adjustment shall be made for dividends
or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
of such issuance.
(j) Time of Granting Options. The grant of an Option shall occur
only when a written Option Agreement substantially in the form
of the Stock Option Agreement which is attached hereto marked
Exhibit "A" shall have been duly executed and delivered by or
on behalf of the Company and the employee to whom such Option
shall be granted.
(k) Stock, Legend. Certificates evidencing shares of the
Company's Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of Options
issued under the Program shall be endorsed with a legend in
substantially the following form:
The shared evidenced by this certificate may not be
sold or transferred prior to ________, 19___, in the
absence of a written statement from Ultrak, Inc. (the
"Company") to the effect that the Company is aware of
the fact of such sale or transfer.
Upon delivery to the Company, at its principal executive
office, of a written statement to the effect that such shares
are proposed to be sold or transferred prior to such date, the
Company does hereby agree to promptly deliver to the transfer
agent for such shares a written statement to the effect that
the Company is aware of the fact of such proposed sale or
transfer. This Section 4(k) shall have no effect on other
restrictions on transfer to which the stock may be subject.
5. Administration.
(a) The Program shall be administered by a Compensation Committee
(the "Committee") consisting of not less than two (2)
individuals to be appointed by the Board of Directors of the

signed by a majority of the members, and action so taken shall
be fully as effective as if it had been taken by a vote of the
majority of the members at a meeting duly called and held.

act in lieu of a Committee at any time such Committee is not
instituted.

Company at the time of authorization of the transaction giving rise to
the right to receive such securities or property (the "Determination
Date"); provided, however, that, at the election of the Holder, the
Fair Market Value of such securities and other property will be

of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus (y) the number of
shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant,
without premium for control or discount for minority interests or
restrictions on transfer. The costs of the Appraiser will be borne by
the Company. In no event will the Fair Market Value of the Common

transaction involving a sale, merger, or liquidation of the Company, a
sale of all or a majority of its assets, or similar transaction.

cash or check or checks and the Warrant, is received by the Company.
If the Warrant has been exercised in part, the Company will, at the
time of delivery of such certificate of certificates, deliver to such
Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of such Holder to purchase
a number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Warrant
has been exercised, which new Warrant will, in all other respects, be
identical with the Warrant, or, at the request to such Holder,
appropriate notation may be made on the Warrant and returned to such
Holder.
(b) Payment of the Exercise Price will be made, at the option
of the Holder, by company or individual check, certified or official
bank check, or cancellation of any debt owed by the Company to the
Holder. If the Holder surrenders a combination of cash and
cancellation of any debt owed by the Company to the Holder, the Holder
will specify the respective number of shares of Common Stock to be
purchased with each form of consideration, and the foregoing
provisions will be applied to each form of consideration with the same
effect as if the Warrant were being separately exercised with respect
to each form of consideration; provided, however, that the Holder may
designate that any cash to be remitted to the Holder in payment of
debt be applied, together with other monies to the exercise of the
portion of the Warrant being exercised for cash.
2.05 Taxes. The issuance of any Common Stock or Other
Consideration upon the exercise of the Warrant will be made without charge to
the Holder for any tax, other than income taxes assessed on the Holder, in
respect of the issuance of such certificate.
2.06 Warrant Register. The Company will, at all times while the
Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable, keep and maintain at its principal
office a register in which the registration, transfer, and exchange of the
Warrant will be provided for. The Company will not at any time, except upon
the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company, close such register
so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of the
Warrant.
2.07 Transfer and Exchange. Subject to applicable securities laws
the Warrant and all options and rights under the Warrant are transferable, as
to all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock and Other
Consideration purchasable upon its exercise, by the Holder of the Warrant, in
person or by duly authorized
11
<PAGE> 12
attorney, on the books of the Company upon surrender of the Warrant at the
principal offices of the Company, together with the form of transfer
authorization attached to the Warrant duly executed; provided, however, that
any transfer of rights under the Warrant will be for no fewer than the greater
of (a) one hundred thousand shares and (b) all Issuable Warrant Shares
represented by such Warrant. Absent any such transfer and subject to Section
10.02, the Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of the Warrant at
any time as the absolute owner of the Warrant for all purposes and will not be
affected by any notice to the contrary. If the Warrant is transferred in part,
the Company will at the time of surrender of the Warrant, issue to the
transferee a Warrant covering the number of shares of Common Stock transferred
and to the transferor a Warrant covering the number of shares not transferred.
2.08 Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. If the Holder of the
Warrant would be entitled, on the exercise of any rights evidenced thereby, to
receive a fractional interest in a share, the Holder may, at its sole option,
cause the Company to issue such fractional share or to purchase such fractional
interest for an amount in cash equal to the Average Market Value (or in the
absence thereof, the Fair Market Value) of such fractional interest, determined
as of the date on which the Holder exercises the Warrant.
2.09 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If the
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company will issue a new
Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated, or destroyed upon presentation by the Holder of a reasonable
indemnity in customary form. Any such new Warrant will constitute an original
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost,
stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant is at any time enforceable by anyone.
2.10 Stock Legend. The Warrant and the securities issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant have not been registered under the Securities Act or
qualified under applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, unless there is
an effective registration statement and qualification respecting those
securities issued upon exercise of the Warrant under the Securities Act or
under applicable state securities laws at the time of exercise of the Warrant,
any stock certificate issued pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant will bear
the following legend:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (A) HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE,
TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION
UNDER OR EXEMPTION FROM SUCH ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS AND (B) ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF AND PROVISIONS OF A WARRANT
PURCHASE AGREEMENT
12
<PAGE> 13
DATED AS OF JULY 20, 1992 BETWEEN PETRUS FUND, L.P., ULTRAK, INC. (THE
"COMPANY"), and GEORGE K. BROADY (AS SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE
SUPPLEMENTED, MODIFIED, AMENDED, OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE
"AGREEMENT"). A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT IS AVAILABLE AT THE OFFICES OF
THE COMPANY."
2.10 Termination. Notwithstanding Section 2,04(a), this Agreement
and the Warrant will terminate and be of no further force and effect in the
event of a Loan Agreement Termination.
ARTICLE III
Anti-Dilution Provisions
3.01 Preemptive Rights. The Company will not issue or sell any New
Securities without first complying with this Section 3.01. The Company hereby
grants to the Holder the preemptive right to purchase, pro rata, all or any
part of the New Securities that the Company may, from time to time, propose to
sell or issue. The Holder's pro rata share for purposes of this Section 3.01
is the ratio that the number of Warrant Shares owned by such Holder immediately
prior to the issuance of the New Securities, bears to the sum of (i) the total
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, plus (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all Warrants then outstanding.
In the event the Company proposes to issue or sell New Securities, it will give
each Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New
Securities and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue or
sell the New Securities. Each Holder will have ten (10) days from the date of
receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase up to its respective pro rata
share of the New Securities for the price (valued at Fair Market Value) for any
noncash consideration) and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving
written notice to the Company and stating in such notice the quantity of New
Securities agreed to be purchased. In the event a Holder fails to exercise
such preemptive right within such ten (10) day period, the other Holders, if
any, will have an additional five (5) day period to purchase such Holder's
portion not so agreed to be purchased in the same proportion in which such
other Holders were entitled to purchase the New Securities (excluding for such
purposes such nonpurchasing Holder). Thereafter, the Company will have thirty
(30) days to consummate the sale of the New Securities not elected to be
purchased by the Holders at the same price and upon the same terms specified in
the Company's notice described above; provided; however, that the Company may
proceed with such sale prior to the expiration of the periods during which the
Holders may exercise their preemptive rights if the Company reserves sufficient
shares for such Holders to exercise such preemptive rights in full. In the
event the Company has not sold the New Securities within such thirty (30) day
period, the Company will not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities,
without first offering such securities in the manner provided above.

<PAGE> 14
3.02 Dilution Fee.
(a) Without limiting the ability of the Company to pay
dividends on its currently outstanding preferred stock, in case at any
time after the date of this Agreement, the Company declares a dividend
or makes a distribution upon the shares of Capital Stock otherwise
than out of consolidated earnings or consolidated earned surplus
(determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, including the making of appropriate deductions for a
minority interest, if any, in Subsidiaries), and otherwise than in
securities to which the provisions of Section 3.02(b) apply, and
provided that such dividend or distribution does not otherwise result
in an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to any other provision
of this Agreement, the Company will immediately pay to each Holder,
the securities and other property (including cash) that such Holder
would have received (together will all distributions thereon) if such
Holder had exercised its Warrants on the record date fixed in
connection with such dividend or distribution.
(b) If at any time, or from time to time, on or after the
date of this Agreement the Company grants, issues, or sells any
options or rights to purchase Capital Stock pro rata to the Holders of
any class of Capital Stock, then if the Holders are entitled to an
adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, in lieu of
such adjustment, each Holder will be entitled, at such Holder's
option, to acquire (whether or not the Warrants have been exercised)
upon the terms applicable to such options or rights, the aggregate of
such options or rights that such Holder could have acquired if such
Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of
its Warrants immediately prior to the time at which the Company
granted, issued, or sold such options or rights.
3.03 Adjustments to Number of Shares Purchasable.
(a) The Warrant will be exercisable for the number of
shares of Common Stock in such manner that following the complete and
full exercise of the Warrant the amount of Common Stock issued to the
Holder will equal, to the nearest whole share, Nine Hundred
Twenty-Eight Thousand Five Hundred Seventy-One (928,571) shares of
Common Stock, as adjusted, to the extent necessary, to give effect to
the following events:
(i) In case at any time or from time to time, the
holders of any class of Capital Stock have received, or (on or
after the record date fixed for the determination of
shareholders eligible to receive) have become entitled to
receive, without payment therefor:
14
<PAGE> 15
(A) consideration (other than cash) by
way of dividend or distribution; or
(B) consideration (including cash) by
way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification
(including any reclassification in connection with a
consideration or merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation), recapitalization, combination
of shares into a smaller number of shares, or similar
corporate restructuring);
other than additional shares of Common Stock issued as a stock
dividend or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of which
are provided for in Sections 3.03(a)(ii) and (iii)), then, and
in each such case, the Holder of the Warrant, on the exercise
of the Warrant, will be entitled to receive for each share of
Common Stock issuable under the Warrant as of the record date
fixed for such distribution, the greatest per share amount of
consideration received by any holder of any class of Capital
Stock or to which such holder is entitled. All such
consideration receivable upon exercise of the Warrant with
respect to such a distribution will be deemed to be
outstanding and owned by such Holder for purposes of
determining the amount of consideration to which such Holder
is entitled upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to any
subsequent distribution or dividend.
(ii) If at any time there occurs any stock split,
stock dividend, reverse stock split, or other subdivision of
the Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock to
be received by the Holder of the Warrant and the Exercise
Price, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement,
will be proportionately adjusted.
(iii) In case of any reclassification or change of
outstanding shares of any class of Capital Stock (other than a
change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or
from no par value to par value), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company
with or into, another Person, or in case of any sale of all,
or a majority of, the property, assets, business, or goodwill
of the Company, the Company, or such successor or other
Person, as the case may be, will provide that the Holder of
this Warrant will thereafter be entitled to receive the
highest per share kind and amount of consideration received or
receivable (including cash) upon such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, or sale by any holder of any
class of Common Stock that this Warrant entitles the Holder to
receive immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
15
<PAGE> 16
consolidation, merger, or sale (as adjusted pursuant to Section
3.03(a)(i) and otherwise in this Agreement). Any such
successor Person, which thereafter will be deemed to be the
Company for purposes of the Warrant, will provide for
adjustments that are nearly equivalent as may be practicable to
the adjustments provided for by this Section 3.30.
(iv) If at any time the Company issues or sells
any shares of any Capital Stock at a per unit or share price
less than the then current Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock immediately prior to the time such Capital Stock
is issued or sold, then:
(A) the Exercise Price will be reduced
to the price calculated by multiplying the then
existing Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator
of which is (x) the sum of (1) the number of shares
of Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance or sale, multiplied by the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to
such issuance or sale, plus (2) the aggregate
consideration received by the Company upon such
issuance or sale, divided by the total number of
shares of Capital Stock outstanding immediately after
such issuance or sale, and the denominator of which
is the (y) Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock immediately prior to such issuance or sale (for
purposes of this subsection (A), the date as of which
the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock will
be computed will be the earlier of the date upon
which the Company enters into a firm contract for the
issuance of such shares, or issues such shares); and
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock
for which the Warrant may be exercised at the
Exercise Price resulting from the adjustment
described in subsection (A) above will be equal to
the product of the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable under the Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment and the
denominator of which is the Exercise Price resulting
from such adjustment.
(v) In case any event occurs as to which the
preceding Sections 3.3(a)(i) through (iv) are not strictly
applicable, but as to which the failure to make any adjustment
would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by
the Warrant in accordance with the
16
<PAGE> 17
essential intent and principles of this Agreement, then, in
each such case, the Holder may appoint an independent
investment bank or firm of independent public accountants
reasonably acceptable to the company, which will give its
opinion as to the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent
with the essential intent and principles established in this
Agreement, necessary to preserve the purchase rights
represented by the Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the
company will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Holder and
will make the adjustments described in such opinion. The fees
and expenses of such investment bank or independent public
accountants will be borne equally by the Company, on the one
hand, and the Holders, on the other.
(b) The Company will not by any action including, without
limitation, amending its charter documents or through and
reorganization, reclassification, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other similar
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and
in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
to protect the right of the Holder against impairment or dilution.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i)
take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that
the company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock and Other Consideration upon the exercise of
this Warrant, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities and
claims and (ii) use its best efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions, or consents from any public regulatory
body having jurisdiction as may be necessary to enable the company to
perform its obligations under the Warrant. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company represents and warrants that
the board of directors of the company has determined the Exercise
Price to be adequate and in the best interests of the company and its
shareholders.
(c) Any calculation under this Section 3.03 will be made
to the nearest one thousandth of a share and rounded upwards to the
nearest whole share.
(d) If each of the conditions listed in Sections
3.03(d)(i) through (iii) below are fulfilled at any time prior to
January 20, 1993, then the Exercise Price will be increased by fifteen
percent (15%). Such increase in Exercise Price will be subject to the
fulfillment of each of the following conditions:
17
<PAGE> 18
(i) There not having occurred at any time after
the date of this Agreement any default under this Agreement or
the Loan Agreement.
(ii) There not being any continuing Default or
Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) at the
time of the fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section
3.03(d)(iii).
(iii) All indebtedness (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) having been fully and unconditionally paid and
performed under the Loan Agreement and not subject to any
offset, recoupment, claim, or condition.
(iv) The Company having voluntarily terminated in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Loan
Agreement and the Revolving Credit Note.
Such increase in the Exercise Price will be deemed effective only upon
completion of the conditions specified above.
Article IV
Put Option
4.01 Grant of Option. The company hereby grants to the Holder an
option to sell to the company, and the Company is obligated to purchase from
the Holder under this option (the "Put Option"), all (or such portion as is
designated by the Holder) of the Put Shares. The Put Option will be effective
at any time or times with ninety (90) days after receipt of written notice of
the occurrence of any of the following events (the "Put Option Period"):
(a) a material change in the ownership of the Company;
for purposes of this subsection "material change" means the
Shareholder ceasing, directly or indirectly, to own thirty-three and
one third percent (33 1/3%) of the Common Stock on a fully diluted
basis (including in the computation of the amount so owned all Common
Stock equivalents held by the Shareholder and without giving effect to
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock under the Warrant); or
(b) a merger of the Company or sale of all or a majority
of the assets, business, or revenue or earnings generating operations
of the Company or any Subsidiary or any substantial change in the type
of business conducted by the Company or any Subsidiary.
4.02 Put Price. In the event that any Holder exercises the Put
Option, the price (the "Put Price") to be paid to each such Holder pursuant to
this Agreement will be cash in the sum of the amount determined by multiplying
the Fair Market Value per share of
18
<PAGE> 19
Common Stock times the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Put
Option is being exercised by such Holder together with the Fair Market Value of
the Other Consideration issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.
4.03 Certain Remedies.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.04(b), in
the event that the Company defaults in its obligation to purchase all
or any portion of the Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares upon exercise
of the Put Option, in addition to any other rights or remedies of
Purchaser, the unpaid portion of the purchase price will bear interest
at the lesser of 13% or the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
(b) In the event that the payment of the exercise price
or any portion thereof in cash causes the Company to be in default on
the Senior Debt or in violation of any applicable law, the company
will (i) purchase or cash the maximum amount of the Put Shares
permissible, (ii) provide Purchaser a certificate and notice
satisfactory in form and substance to Purchaser describing in
reasonable detail the default resulting from payment of all or a
portion of the Put Price and/or the legal reasons why such payment may
not be made.
4.05 Closing. The closing for the purchase and sale of all or such
portion of the Put Shares as to which the Holder has notified the company of
its intention to exercise the Put Option, will occur at Purchaser's office,
which is located at the address set forth in Section 10.07 hereof, on the date
specified in such notice of exercise, no less than thirty (30) days from
delivery of such notice of exercise of such option (an "Option Closing"). At
any Option Closing, to the extent applicable, the Holder of the Put Shares will
deliver the certificate or certificates evidencing the Put Shares being
purchased, duly endorsed in blank. In consideration therefor, the company will
deliver to the Holder the Put Price, which will be payable in cash.
Article V
Co-Sale Rights
5.01 Rights of Co-Sale. In the event that the Shareholder intends
to sell or transfer any shares of any class of Capital Stock in excess of the
amount of Permitted Sales beneficially owned by him to any Person other than a
Related Party, directly or indirectly, each Holder will have the right to
participate in such sale or transfer on the terms set forth below; provided,
however, none of the provisions of this Agreement will apply to any sale by the
Shareholder of shares of Capital Stock in a bona fide underwritten public
offering under the Securities Act, so long as
19
<PAGE> 20
all Holders have had an opportunity to participate in such offering pursuant to
the registration rights under this Agreement.
5.02 Method of Electing Sale; Allocation of Sales. No sale or
transfer by the Shareholder of any shares of Capital Stock in excess of the
amount of Permitted Sales will be valid unless the transferee of such Capital
Stock first agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and to
have the liabilities and obligation of the "Shareholder," as such term is used
in this Agreement. No such sale or transfer by the Shareholder will effect any
delegation of its duties, obligations, or liabilities under this Agreement. In
addition, before any shares of Capital Stock in excess of the amount of
Permitted Sales held, directly or indirectly, by the Shareholder may be sold or
transferred to a Person other than a Related Party, such selling Shareholder
(as such, the "Selling Shareholder") will comply with the following provisions:
(a) The Selling Shareholder will deliver or cause to be
delivered a written notice (the "Notice of Sale") to each Holder as of
that time at least ten (10) days prior to making any such sale or
transfer. The Company agrees to provide the Selling Shareholder with
a list of the names and addresses of each such Holder for such
purpose. The Notice of Sale will sate (i) the Selling Shareholder's
bona fide intention to sell or transfer, (ii) the name and address of
the prospective transferee (the "Transferee"), (iii) the number of
shares of Capital Stock of the company to be sold or transferred, (iv)
the terms and conditions of the contemplated sale or transfer, (v) the
purchase price, in cash, that the Purchaser will pay for such shares
of Capital Stock, and (vi) the expected closing date of the
transaction. The Selling Shareholder will not sell or transfer any
shares of Capital Stock for consideration other than cash.
(b) Any Holder receiving the Notice of Sale may elect to
participate in the contemplated sale or transfer by exercising its
right to co-sell its Capital Stock pursuant to Section 5.02(c). Such
right may be exercised in the sole discretion of the Holder by
delivering a written notice (an "Election Notice") to the Company and
the Selling Shareholder within ten (10) days after receipt of such
Notice of Sale stating the election of the Holder to exercise its
right of co-sale pursuant to Section 5.02(c).
(c) Each Holder may elect to sell or transfer in the
contemplated transaction up to the total of the number of shares of
Warrant Shares then held by it. Promptly after the receipt of an
Election Notice exercising such right, the Selling Shareholder will
use his best efforts to cause the Transferee to amend its offer so as
to provide for the Transferee's purchase, upon the same terms and
conditions as
20
<PAGE> 21
those contained in the Notice of Sale, of all of the Warrant Shares
elected to be sole (the "Co-Sell Shares") in such Election Notices.
In the event that the Transferee is unwilling to amend its offer to
purchase all of the co-Sell Shares in addition to the shares of
Capital Stock described in the related Notice of Sale, if the Selling
Shareholder desires to proceed with the sale, the total number of
shares that such Transferee is willing to purchase will be allocated
to the Selling Shareholder and each Holder having given an Election
Notice exercising its right pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) (the
"Co-Sellers") in proportion to the aggregate number of Warrant Shares
held by each such Person; provided, however, that no such Person will
be so allocated a number of shares greater than the number of shares
that it sought to sell to such Transferee in the related Notice of
Sale or Election Notice.
All Capital Stock sold or transferred by the Selling
Shareholder and the co-Sellers with respect to a single Notice of Sale
under Section 5.02(b) will be sold or transferred to the Transferee in
a single closing on the terms described in such Notice of Sale, and
each such share will receive the same per share cash consideration.
In the event that the Transferee, for any reason, declines to purchase
any shares from any Holder delivering an Election Notice, then the
Selling Shareholder will not be permitted to sell or transfer any
shares of Capital Stock to such Transferee.
5.03 Sales to Related Parties.
(a) No sale or transfer of shares of Capital Stock by the
Shareholder to a Related Party will be subject to the provisions of
Section 5.02(a), (b), or (c); provided, however, that such Related
Party first agrees to assume the obligations of the Shareholder
(without relieving such Shareholder of any obligations under this
Agreement) under this Agreement with respect to the shares of Capital
Stock thereby acquired by it and to be a "Shareholder" as such term is
used in this Agreement in a written instrument in a form and substance
satisfactory to the Holders.
(b) For purposes of this Section 5.03, "Related Party"
means the spouse of lineal descendents of the Selling Shareholder or
an entity wholly owned by the Selling Shareholder and/or one or more
Related Parties or a trust solely for the benefit of the Selling
Shareholders or one or more Related Parties.

<PAGE> 22
Article VI
Registration Rights
6.01 Required Registration. At any time the Holders may, upon not
more than one (1) occasion, make a written request to the company requesting
that the company effect the registration of Registrable Securities. After
receipt of such a request, the Company will, as soon as practicable, notify all
Holders of such request and use its best efforts to effect the registration of
all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register
by the Holders for sale, all to the extent required to permit the disposition
(in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof) of the Registrable
Securities so registered. In no event will any Person other than a Holder be
entitled to include any shares of Capital Stock in any registration statement
filed pursuant to this Section 6.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company will not be obligated to register any Registrable Securities as to
which counsel acceptable to the Holders renders an opinion in form and
substance satisfactory to the Holders to the effect that such Registrable
Securities are freely saleable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
6.02 Incidental Registration. If the Company at any time proposes
to file on its behalf or on behalf of any of its security holders a
registration statement under the Securities Act on any form (other than a
registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form) for any class
that is the same or similar to Registrable Securities, it will give written
notice to all holders of Registrable Securities at least thirty (30) days
before the initial filing with the Commission of such registration statement,
and offer to include in such filing such Registrable Securities as such Holders
may request. Each Holder of any such Registrable Securities desiring to have
Registrable Securities registered under this Section 6.02 will advise the
Company in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of such
offer from the Company, setting forth the amount of such Registrable Securities
for which registration is requested. The Company will thereupon include in
such filing the number of Registrable Securities for which registration is so
requested, and will use its best efforts to effect registration under the
Securities Act of such Registrable underwriter or underwriters, if any, of such
offering deliver a written opinion to the Holders of such Registrable
Securities that the success of the offering would be materially and adversely
affected by inclusion of the Registrable Securities requested to be included,
then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders will be
reduced pro rata (according to the Registrable Securities proposed for
registration) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities
to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing
underwriter or underwriters; provided, that if securities are being offered for
the account of other Persons as well as the Company,
22
<PAGE> 23
then with respect to the Registrable Securities intended to be offered by
Holders, the proportion by which the amount of such class of securities
intended to be offered by Holders is reduced will not exceed the proportion by
which the amount of such class of securities intended to be offered by Holders
is reduced will not exceed the proportion by which the amount of such class of
securities intended to be offered by such other Persons (other than the
Company) is reduced.
6.03 Form S-3 Registrations. In addition to the registration rights
provided in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 above, if at any time the Company is
eligible to use Form S-3 (or any successor form) for registration of secondary
sales of capital stock, any Holder of Registrable Securities may request in
writing that the Company register shares of Registrable Securities on such
form. Upon receipt of such request, the Company will promptly notify all
holders of Registrable Securities in writing of the receipt of such request and
each such Holder may elect (by written notice sent to the Company within ten
(10) days of receipt of the Company's notice) to have its Registrable
Securities included in such registration pursuant to this Section 6.03.
Thereupon the Company will, as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to
effect the registration on Form S-3 of all Registrable Securities that the
Company has so been requested to register by such Holder for sale. The Company
will use its best efforts to qualify and maintain its qualification for
eligibility to use Form S-3 for such purposes.
6.04 Registration Procedures. In connection with any registration of
Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company will, as soon as practicable:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement with the respect to such securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective
for a period of time required for the disposition of such securities
by the holders thereof;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
and company to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement until the earlier of
such time as all of such securities have been disposed of or the
expiration of one hundred eighty (180) days (except with respect to
registrations effected on Form S-3 or any successor form, as to which
no such period shall apply);
(c) furnish to the Holders such number of copies of the
registration statement and prospectus (including, without limitation,
a preliminary prospectus) in conformity with the
23
<PAGE> 24

1. Exchange of Warrants. This warrant at any time prior to the

restricted securities or securities owned by an affiliate of
the issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act Rule 144.

warrant or warrant shares to include such shares under the Registration

INVESTMENT LETTER
Ultrak, Inc.
1220 Champion Circle
Suite 100
Carrollton, Texas 75006
Gentlemen:
This letter is issued to you in connection with the undersigned's
purchase from you of a total of 62,500 shares (the "Shares") of your Common
Stock, no par value, for total consideration of $500,000.00.
In connection with the issuance to the undersigned of the Shares, the
undersigned hereby acknowledges and understands that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Federal Act"), or
any securities act of any applicable state (the "State Acts"), that the Shares
are being issued to the undersigned in reliance upon one or more exemptions
from registration contained in the Federal Act and the State Acts, and that
your reliance on such exemptions is based in part upon the representations made
in this letter.
The undersigned hereby represents to you that the undersigned is
acquiring the Shares solely for the undersigned's own account for investment
and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, the
"distribution" of all or any part of the Shares within the meaning of the
Federal Act.
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the provisions of Rule 144
promulgated under the Federal Act are not now available for the public resale
of the Shares, and that the undersigned has no right to have the Shares
registered under the Federal Act to permit them to be resold. The undersigned
also hereby acknowledges that, as the result of the foregoing, the undersigned
must hold the Shares for the holding period provided by Rule 144, assuming the
entire risk of investment therein during such period, unless the Shares are
subsequently registered under the Federal Act or unless an exemption from
registration is available at the time or resale.
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the undersigned has been
given copies of the documents (the "Documents") listed on Exhibit A attached
hereto and previously filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). Moreover, the undersigned hereby represents to you that the
undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters, that the undersigned is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
investing in the Shares and that the undesigned is able to bear the economic
risk, including a total loss, of such an investment. In that regard, the
undersigned hereby represents to you that the undersigned meets the definition
of an "accredited investor" under
<PAGE> 12
April 5, 1994
Page 2
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC (a copy of Rule 501(a) is
attached hereto).
The undersigned understands that the purchase of the Shares involves a
high degree of risk and possible loss of the entire investment in the Shares.
The undersigned is purchasing the Shares based solely on the undersigned's
review of the Documents and not based on any written or oral statements by you
or any individual or firm (other than the currently applicable statements in
the Documents - which the undersigned may rely on).
The undersigned understands that the undersigned must not, and the
undersigned agrees that the undersigned will not, sell, transfer, assign,
encumber, or otherwise dispose of the Shares or any interest therein, unless
prior thereto the undersigned has delivered to you, and you have accepted as
satisfactory, an opinion of experienced and competent counsel to the effect
that such proposed sale, transfer, assignment, encumbrance, or disposition will
not constitute or result in any violation of the Federal Act, the State Acts,
or any other applicable statute relating to the disposition of securities.
Nothing in this letter shall permit the undersigned to sell any of the
Shares in violation of any other agreement between you and the undersigned or
among you, the undersigned, and others.
The undersigned understands and agrees that there may a typed or
otherwise printed on the certificates representing the Shares a legend
referring to the foregoing restriction upon disposition, such legend to be
substantially in the following form:
The shares evidenced by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") or under any applicable
state law, and such shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned or
otherwise disposed of unless a registration statement under the Act
with respect to such disposition shall then be in effect or unless the
person requesting the transfer of such shares shall furnish, with
respect to such transfer, an opinion of counsel (both counsel and
opinion to be satisfactory to the Corporation) to the effect that such
sale, transfer, assignment or disposition will not involve any
violation of the Act or any superseding statute or any applicable
state law.
The undersigned also understands that the keeper of your stock
transfer books and records has been instructed not to transfer the Shares
except upon your instructions and that you will take such other steps as you
deem necessary to prevent the transfer of the Shares in the absence of
compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
Very truly yours,

In consideration of the terms of this Agreement, and other good and
valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each
party, the Company and Employee, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant
and agree as follows:
1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to continue to employ
Employee, and Employee hereby accepts continued employment with the Company,
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
2. Term. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall be effective for the period from January 1, 1995 through
December 31, 1996. The period from January 1 of a calendar year through
December 31 of such calendar year is hereafter referred to as a "Year." The
period from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995 is hereafter referred to
as the "First Year" and the period from January 1, 1996 through December 31,
1996 is hereafter referred to as the "Second Year." The parties hereby
acknowledge and agree it is their intent that this Agreement shall
automatically renew for an additional Year as of each January 1 after the
Second Year; provided, however, that the Company may terminate this Agreement
by giving Employee written notice at least eighteen (18) months prior to such

referred to as the "Term."
3. Duties. Employee shall be the Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer of the Company. During the Term, Employee shall be
based in the Dallas, Texas area only and shall perform the duties and exercise
the powers which from time to time may be lawfully assigned to or vested in him
by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). It is agreed that during
the Term, Employee will not accept an officership or directorship or
participate in the operation or management of any other entity, unless it is an
entity either owned or controlled by the Company, without the prior written
consent of the President.
4. Extent of Services. Unless prevented by ill health, Employee
shall devote his entire working time, attention and energies to the business of
the Company, and shall not during the Term engage in any other business
activity whether or not such business activity is pursued for gain, profit or

from investing in such form or manner as will not require any services on the
part of Employee in the operation of the affairs of the companies in which such
investments are made, except that in no
1
<PAGE> 2
event may Employee make investments in any firms in competition with, or in the
business of supplying goods or services to the Company, unless such investments

amendment to this Agreement. If Employee is absent from his employment because
of illness which prevents Employee from performing his duties described herein,
the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee his Base Salary and other
compensation for all such periods of absence for the balance of the Term less
any applicable disability insurance actually received by Employee. The Base
Salary and any other compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be
subject to appropriate tax withholding.
6. Other Compensation.
(a) The Company currently has in effect certain bonus and
stock option plans. During the Term, Employee will

in effect and as they may be amended from time to
time, so long as such plans remain in existence.
Furthermore, during the Term, Employee shall be
entitled to participate in all current or
subsequently enacted benefit programs applicable to
all executive officers of the Company. For purposes
of this Agreement, all references to stock option
plans, bonus plans or benefit programs shall be
deemed to mean that Employee shall be eligible to
participate in such plans or programs of the Company
in which Employee presently participates or is
eligible to participate, or such plans or programs
that may subsequently be adopted in substitution for
such plans or programs.
(b) The Company will provide Employee a $300 per month
car allowance.

vacation each Year.

reasonable expenses with regard to the business of the Company, including
expenses for entertainment, travel and other items of a similar character in
accordance with the Company's travel and entertainment policies as such
policies shall exist from time to time (the "Policy"). The Company will
reimburse Employee for all such expenses incurred and reported by him in
accordance with the Policy.
8. Termination by the Company. This Agreement may be terminated
by written notice pursuant to Section 11 by the Company as follows:
(a) If Employee breaches this Agreement, and such breach,
if capable of being cured, is not cured within thirty
(30) calendar days of receipt by Employee from the
Company of written notice requiring him to cure such
breach(es);
(b) If Employee shall be convicted of a criminal offense
which in the reasonable opinion of the Board may
injure or tend to injure the reputation or business
of the Company;

petition is filed against Employee and, in either
case, such bankruptcy proceeding is not dismissed
within ninety (90) days of being filed;

his duties as set forth or described herein; or
(e) If Employee becomes so addicted to alcohol, drugs or
any controlled substance that it substantially
impairs his abilities to perform his assigned duties.
9. Termination by the Company or Employee. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, either party may terminate this Agreement by
giving notice pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
10. Payments upon Termination or Death. It is agreed that if this
Agreement is terminated, payments and/or provisions for payments will be made

specifically agreed to herein.

or reasons set forth in Section 8 or Employee
terminates this Agreement without cause, then the
Company will only be obligated to pay to Employee the
actual amount of compensation accrued to the date of
termination, Employee will be bound to the terms of
any Stock Option Agreement as it relates to the
exercise of any vested stock options, and all other
payments or benefits recited herein shall be
cancelled and terminated, without recourse.

and be binding upon (a) the Company and the Company's successors and assigns,
including but not limited to any entity which may acquire all or substantially
all of the Company's assets and business or with or into which the Company may

Exhibit 10.17
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (this "Agreement"), dated as
of April 28, 1995 (the "Signing Date"), is among Diamond Electronics, Inc., an
Ohio corporation ("Diamond"), the shareholders of Diamond signing this
Agreement (the "Signing Shareholders"), Ultrak, Inc., a Colorado corporation
("Ultrak"), and Diamond Purchasing Corp., a Texas corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ultrak ("Newco").
W I T N E S S E T H:
Recitals. The Boards of Directors of Diamond, Ultrak, and Newco deem
it advisable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders that a
merger (the "Merger") is consummated whereby Newco is merged with and into
Diamond pursuant to a reorganization hereafter provided for. Diamond, the
Signing Shareholders, Ultrak, and Newco desire to set forth the terms and
conditions upon which they are willing to consummate the Merger. Ultrak, as
the sole shareholder of Newco, has approved the terms of the Merger and the
execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement. The Signing
Shareholders constitute the Board of Directors of Diamond.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements,
provisions, and covenants in this Agreement, and for other consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I: THE MERGER
1.01. The Merger. Upon the performance of all covenants and
obligations of the parties contained herein and upon the fulfillment (or
waiver) of all conditions to the obligations of the parties contained herein,
on the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) and pursuant to the provisions
of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "Texas Act") and the Ohio General
Corporation Law (the "Ohio Act"), Newco will be merged with and into Diamond,
which will be the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"), in
accordance with Articles of Merger to be filed in Texas and the Certificate of
Merger to be filed in Ohio in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits 1.01(a) and
1.01(b), respectively (collectively, the "Certificates of Merger"). As used in
this Agreement, the "Effective Date" shall mean such date as agreed upon by
Diamond, Newco, and Ultrak, on which the Certificates of Merger shall be filed
in accordance with the Texas Act and the Ohio Act, and the date the Merger will
become effective in accordance with the terms of the Certificates of Merger.
<PAGE> 2
1.02. Effect on Stock. As a result of the Merger, on the Effective
Date and without any action on the part of Diamond, Ultrak, or Newco, or any
holder of any of the following securities, the following will occur:
(a) Except as provided in Sections 1.04 and 1.10 hereof,
each share of Common Stock, no par value per share, of Diamond
("Diamond Common Stock" ) issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Date will cease to be outstanding and will be converted
into the right to receive such number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, no par value per share, of Ultrak (the "Ultrak
Common Stock") as is equal to the quotient of (i) 600,000 divided by
(ii) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Diamond
Common Stock as of the Effective Date. If all shares of Diamond
Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Effective Date are
converted into shares of Ultrak Common Stock, then the maximum number
of shares of Ultrak Common Stock that will be issued under this
Subsection 1.02(a) will be 600,000.
(b) Any shares of Diamond Common Stock held in the
treasury of Diamond will be cancelled and retired and cease to exist.
No cash, securities, or other consideration will be paid or delivered
in exchange for such treasury shares, under this Agreement.
(c) Each share of Common Stock, no par value, of Newco
("Newco Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Date will cease to be outstanding and will be converted into
the right to receive one share of Common Stock, no par value, of the
Surviving Corporation.
1.03. Adjustments.
(a) If the average closing price of Ultrak Common Stock
as reported for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotations System ("NASDAQ") in the Wall Street Journal, Southwest Edition, for
each of the ten (10) trading days ending on the first trading day (the "First
Adjustment Date") that is six (6) months from the Effective Date is less than
$7.00, then Ultrak shall issue an additional 50,000 shares of Ultrak Common
Stock to the shareholders of Diamond as of the Effective Date (the "Effective
Date Shareholders"), and each of the Effective Date Shareholders will receive
one share of Ultrak Common Stock for every twelve (12) shares of Ultrak Common
Stock received pursuant to Subsection 1.02(a).
(b) If the average closing price of Ultrak Common Stock
as reported for NASDAQ in the Wall Street Journal, Southwest Edition, for each
of the ten (10) trading days ending on the first trading day (the "Second
Adjustment Date") (the First Adjustment Date and the Second Adjustment Date are
sometimes collectively
2
<PAGE> 3
referred to herein as the "Adjustment Dates") that is twelve (12) months from
the Effective Date is less than $8.00, then Ultrak shall issue an additional
50,000 shares of Ultrak Common Stock to the Effective Date Shareholders, and
each of the Effective Date Shareholders will receive one share of Ultrak Common
Stock for every twelve (12) shares of Ultrak Common Stock received pursuant to
Subsection 1.02(a).
(c) In the event of any change in the outstanding Ultrak
Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, share combinations,
mergers, recapitalizations, exchanges of shares or the like, between the
Signing Date and an Adjustment Date, then the type of shares subject to
issuance on such Adjustment Date and the price of the Ultrak Common Stock that
determines whether any additional shares are issued on such Adjustment Date,
shall be adjusted appropriately.
(d) The right to receive any additional shares of Ultrak
Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.03 is a personal right of the Effective
Date Shareholders and they may not transfer or assign all or any portion of
their right to receive additional shares of Ultrak Common Stock. No person or
entity, other than the Effective Date Shareholders, shall have the right to
receive any additional shares of Ultrak Common Stock pursuant to this Section
1.03.
1.04. Diamond Common Stock Subject to Cash Out. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Shareholder (as
hereinafter defined) who would otherwise receive ten (10) or fewer shares of
Ultrak Common Stock shall receive the Diamond Price (as defined in the
following sentence) per share of Diamond Common Stock and shall not have the
right to receive shares of Ultrak Common Stock. The Diamond Price shall equal
the product of (i) the average closing price of Ultrak Common Stock as reported
for NASDAQ in the Wall Street Journal, Southwest Edition, for each of the ten
(10) trading days ending on the trading day which is five (5) days prior to the
Effective Date multiplied by the (ii) Conversion Factor.
1.05. Exchange and Cancellation of Certificates.
(a) Ultrak shall authorize Securities Transfer Corp. to serve as
exchange agent hereunder (the "Exchange Agent"). Promptly after the Effective
Date, Ultrak shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited in trust with the
Exchange Agent certificates representing the number of whole shares of Ultrak
Common Stock to which the holders of Diamond Common Stock (other than holders
of Dissenting Shares and the holders of shares subject to Section 1.04) are
entitled pursuant to this Article I, together with cash sufficient to pay for
(i) fractional shares then known to Ultrak and (ii) shares subject to Section
1.04 (such cash amounts and certificates being hereinafter referred to as the
"Exchange Fund"). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable
instructions
3
<PAGE> 4
received from Ultrak, deliver the number of shares of Ultrak Common Stock and
pay the amounts of cash provided for in this Article I out of the Exchange
Fund. Additional amounts of cash, if any, needed from time to time by the
Exchange Agent to make payments for fractional shares and/or shares subject to
Section 1.04 shall be provided by Ultrak and shall become part of the Exchange
Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose, except as
provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by Ultrak, Newco, and
Diamond prior to the Effective Date.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Exchange
Agent shall mail and otherwise make available to each record holder (other than
holders of Dissenting Shares) who, as of the Effective Date, was a holder of an
outstanding certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the
Effective Date represented shares of Diamond Common Stock (the "Certificates"),
a form of letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the
surrender of the Certificates for payment therefor and conversion thereof,
which letter of transmittal shall comply with all applicable rules of the
NASDAQ. Delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the
Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the
Exchange Agent and the form of letter of transmittal duly executed, the holder
of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) one
or more certificates as requested by the holder (properly issued, executed, and
countersigned, as appropriate) representing that number of whole shares of
Ultrak Common Stock to which such holder of Diamond Common Stock shall have
become entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article I, (ii) as to any
fractional share, a check representing the cash consideration to which such
holder shall have become entitled pursuant to Section 1.08, and the
Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled, and (iii) as to any
shares to be cashed out pursuant to Section 1.04, a check representing the cash
consideration to which such holder shall have become entitled pursuant to
Section 1.04, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon surrender of the
Certificates. Ultrak shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason
of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of Ultrak Common Stock;
provided, however that such certificate is issued in the name of the person in
whose name the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered;
provided further, however, that Ultrak shall not pay any transfer or other
taxes if the obligation to pay such tax under applicable law is solely that of
the Shareholder or if payment of any such tax by Ultrak otherwise would cause
the Merger to fail to qualify as a tax free reorganization under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). If any portion of the
consideration to be received pursuant to this Article I upon exchange of a
Certificate (whether a certificate representing shares of Ultrak Common Stock
or a check representing payment for a fractional share or for shares subject to
Section 1.04) is to be issued or paid to a person other than the person in
4
<PAGE> 5
whose name the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it
shall be a condition of such issuance and payment that the Certificate so
surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer
and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay in advance any transfer
or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing
shares of Ultrak Common Stock or a check representing payment for a fractional
share or for shares subject to Section 1.04 to such other person, or establish
to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or that
no such tax is applicable. From the Effective Date until surrender in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.05, each Certificate (other
than Certificates representing treasury shares of Diamond, Certificates
representing Dissenting Shares, and Certificates representing shares subject to
Section 1.04) shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive the
consideration provided in this Article I. No dividends that are otherwise
payable on Ultrak Common Stock will be paid to persons entitled to receive
Ultrak Common Stock until such persons properly surrender their Certificates
and a duly executed letter of transmittal. After such surrender, there shall
be paid to the person in whose name the Ultrak Common Stock shall be issued any
dividends on such Ultrak Common Stock that shall have a record date on or after
the Effective Date and prior to such surrender. If the payment date for any
such dividend is after the date of such surrender, such payment shall be made
on such payment date. In no event shall the persons entitled to receive such
dividends be entitled to receive interest on such dividends. All payments in
respect of shares of Diamond Common Stock that are made in accordance with the
terms hereof shall be deemed to have been made in full satisfaction of all
rights pertaining to such securities.
(c) In the case of any lost, mislaid, stolen, or destroyed
Certificates, the holder thereof may be required, as a condition precedent to
the delivery to such holder of the consideration described in this Article I,
to deliver to the Exchange Agent a bond in such reasonable sum as Ultrak or the
Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made
against Ultrak or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to
have been lost, mislaid, stolen, or destroyed.
(d) After the Effective Date, there shall be no transfers on the
stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Diamond
Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date.
If, after the Effective Date, Certificates are presented to the Surviving
Corporation for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the
consideration described in this Article I.
(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the
Shareholders for six (6) months after the Effective Date shall be returned to
Ultrak, upon demand by Ultrak, and any holder
5
<PAGE> 6
of Diamond Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Section 1.05
shall thereafter look only to Ultrak for issuance of the number of shares of
Ultrak Common Stock and other consideration to which such holder has become
entitled pursuant to this Article I; provided, however, that neither the
Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of
Diamond Common Stock for any amount required to be paid to a public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar law.
1.06. S-4 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement; Blue Sky Laws.
Ultrak and Diamond acknowledge that the transactions contemplated hereby are
subject to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). Diamond, Ultrak, and their respective affiliates will (a)

Each of Diamond, Ultrak, and Newco agrees to provide promptly to the other such

the reasonable judgment of the other party or its counsel, may be required or
appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments
or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with
the other's counsel and auditors in the preparation of the Registration
Statement. Diamond and Ultrak agree to take all reasonable actions as may be
required to be taken by them under state blue sky or securities laws in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the
affiliates of Diamond ("Affiliates"), as the term "affiliates" is defined
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), shall be, as the case may be, restricted by Rule 145(d) promulgated
pursuant to the Securities Act in connection with the resale of the shares of
Ultrak Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Merger. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, neither any Affiliate nor any Signing
Shareholder shall (i) sell shares of Ultrak Common Stock for the forty-five
(45) day period immediately prior to the First Adjustment Date and the Second
Adjustment Date and/or (ii) sell, during the twelve (12) months immediately
following the Effective Date, shares of Ultrak Common Stock constituting more
than one-third of the shares of Ultrak Common Stock received in the Merger.
1.07. Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section
6
<PAGE> 7
368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a "plan of
reorganization" for the purposes of Section 368 of the Code.
1.08. Fractional Shares. No scrip or fractional shares of Ultrak
Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. All fractional shares of Ultrak
Common Stock to which a holder of Diamond Common Stock immediately prior to the
Effective Date would otherwise be entitled at the Effective Date shall be
aggregated. If a fractional share results from such aggregation, such
shareholder shall be entitled, after the Effective Date, the First Adjustment
Date, and the Second Adjustment Date, as the case may be, to receive from
Ultrak an amount in cash in lieu of such fractional share, based on the
Determination Price (as defined in Section 1.09). Ultrak will make available to
the Exchange Agent the cash necessary for the purpose of paying cash for
fractional shares.
1.09. Determination Price.
(i) The Determination Price on the Effective Date shall be
the closing price, as reported for NASDAQ in theWall Street Journal,
Southwest Edition, on the last trading day immediately prior to the

(ii) The Determination Price on the First Adjustment Date
shall be the closing price, as reported for NASDAQ in theWall Street

to the First Adjustment Date;
(iii) The Determination Price on the Second Adjustment Date
shall be the closing price, as reported for NASDAQ in theWall Street
Journal, Southwest Edition, on the last trading day immediately prior
to the Second Adjustment Date.
1.10. Dissenting Shares. To the extent that appraisal rights are
available under the Ohio Act, shares of Diamond Common Stock that are issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date and that have not been
voted for adoption of the Merger and with respect of which appraisal rights
have been properly demanded in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Ohio Act ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into the right to receive
the consideration provided for in this Article I at or after the Effective Date
unless and until the holder of such shares withdraws his demand for such
appraisal (in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Ohio Act) or
becomes ineligible for such appraisal. If a holder of Dissenting Shares
withdraws his demand for such appraisal (in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Ohio Act) or becomes ineligible for such appraisal, then, as
of the Effective Date or the occurrence of such event, whichever later occurs,
such holder's Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall
be converted into and represent the right to receive the consideration provided
for in
7
<PAGE> 8
this Article I. If any holder of Diamond Common Stock shall assert the right
to be paid for the fair value of such Diamond Common Stock as described above,
Diamond shall give Ultrak notice thereof and Ultrak shall have the right to
participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such
demands. Diamond shall not, except with the prior written consent of Ultrak,
voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any
such demand for payment. After the Effective Date, Ultrak will cause the
Surviving Corporation to pay its statutory obligations to holders of Dissenting
Shares.
1.11. Signing Shareholders' Approval. The Signing Shareholders agree
to the terms of the Merger and agree to vote all of their shares of Diamond
Common Stock in favor of the Merger.

(collectively, the "Financial Statements") fairly presented the financial
position of Diamond as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and
changes in financial position or other information included therein for the
periods or as of the dates then ended, all in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied during the periods involved
(except as otherwise stated therein).
2.07. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Diamond has complied with all
judicial, governmental, and regulatory laws applicable to it or to the

America or any state or any political subdivision thereof and has paid or
established adequate reserves for all taxes (including penalties and interest)
which have or may become due for the tax periods covered by such returns, and
any assessments which have been received by it. All such tax returns or
reports which are income tax returns or reports fairly reflect the taxable
income generated by Diamond and the taxes of Diamond for the periods covered
thereby. Diamond is not delinquent in the payment of any tax, assessment, or
governmental charge, there is no tax deficiency or delinquency asserted against
the Diamond and there is no unpaid assessment, proposal for additional taxes,
deficiency or delinquency in the payment of any of the taxes of Diamond that
could be asserted by any taxing authority, nor of any violation of any tax law.

assessment of any tax as shown on such returns or reports with respect to
Diamond. No audit of Diamond by any governmental agency having jurisdiction
with respect to taxes imposed on Diamond or on its income, properties, sales,
franchises, or operations is pending or threatened. All monies required to be
withheld or collected by Diamond from employees or customers for income taxes,
social security and unemployment insurance taxes and sales, excise, and use
taxes, and the portion of any such taxes to be paid by Diamond to governmental
agencies, have been collected or withheld and either paid to the respective
governmental agencies or set aside for such purpose in the manner required by
applicable law and are properly reflected in the Financial Statements or on the
books and records of Diamond.
2.09. Liabilities and Obligations. The Financial Statements reflect
all material liabilities or obligations of Diamond, accrued, contingent, or
otherwise (asserted or unasserted), arising out of transactions effected or
events occurring on or prior to the Signing Date, other than liabilities and
obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business of Diamond since
January 1, 1995, which liabilities and obligations are not either individually
or in the aggregate, material to the condition (financial or otherwise),
business or operations of Diamond and as set forth on Schedule 2.09. All
reserves shown in the Financial Statements are appropriate, reasonable, and
sufficient to provide for the losses thereby contemplated. Except as set forth
in the Financial Statements, Diamond is not liable upon or with respect to, or
obligated in any other way to provide funds in respect of or to guarantee or
assume in any manner, any debt, obligation, or liability of any person,
corporation, association, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other entity,

and to those other assets reflected in Diamond's books and records as being
owned (except as they have since been affected by transactions in the ordinary

assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, charges, or
encumbrances of any kind or character, except (a) statutory liens for property

product, activity or operation of Diamond infringes upon or involves, or has

DRAFT
Ultrak, Inc.
1220 Champion Circle
Suite 100
Carrollton, TX 75006
Gentlemen:
We have acted as special Ohio counsel for Diamond Electronics, Inc.,
an Ohio corporation ("Diamond"), in connection with the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated April 11, 1995 (the "Agreement"), among Diamond, Ultrak,
Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Ultrak"), the Signing Shareholders and Diamond
Electronics Corp., a Texas corporation ("Newco"). This opinion letter is
being delivered to you pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Agreement. Capitalized
terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning set
forth therein unless otherwise defined herein.
In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined and relied
upon the Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and Regulations of
Diamond, Officers' Certificates and representations of management, and such
other corporate documents and records of Diamond as we have deemed necessary.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of
natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals
and conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals of latter
documents, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents
by parties other than Diamond. We have not independently verified any of the
facts contained in such documents.
This opinion deals only with the specific legal issues explicitly
addressed herein. The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited
to the law of the State of Ohio. We call your attention to the fact that the
Agreement and other acquisition documents by their terms are to be governed by
and

Diamond Opinion Letter
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of _____________. No
opinion is expressed as to whether a Court would give effect to such provisions
and for purposes of the opinions expressed herein, we assume that the laws of
the State of ____________ do not vary from the laws of the State of Ohio.
Based solely upon the foregoing documents, examination thereof, and
representations of management, and subject to the foregoing limitations and
qualifications, based upon our current actual knowledge we are of the opinion
that:
1. Diamond is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio, and has all requisite
corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
carry on its business as now being conducted.
2. Diamond has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver the Agreement, to merge with Newco in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement. The execution and delivery of the Agreement by Diamond, the
performance by Diamond of its obligations thereunder, and the consummation of
the Merger and the other transactions described in the Agreement have been duly
and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
Diamond.
3. The Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Diamond
and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Diamond, enforceable against
Diamond in accordance with its terms, except (a) as may be limited by
Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or
similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally, (b)
as may be limited by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered an action at law or equity), (c) that the remedy
of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may
be subject to certain equitable defenses and the discretion of the Court before
which any proceeding therefore may be brought, and (d) subject to the other
Common Qualifications, as defined and set forth in the Legal Opinion Accord of
the ABA Section of Business Law (1991).
4. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement, the
consummation of the Merger and other transactions described in the Agreement,
and the fulfillment of and compliance of the terms and conditions of the
Agreement do not and will not, with the passing of time, or the giving of
notice or both, violate, constitute a breach of, or a default under, result in
the loss of any material benefit under, or permit the acceleration of any
<PAGE> 52

obligation under (a) any term or provision of the Articles of Incorporation or
By-laws or Regulations of Diamond, (b) any contract or agreement of Diamond
known to us, (c) any judgment, decree of order, known to us, of any court or
governmental authority or agency addressed to and binding on Diamond or any of
its properties, or (d) the Ohio General Corporation Law, any statute,
regulation or rule of the State of Ohio, or the United States applicable to
Diamond, except in the case of clauses (b) (c) and (d) above, for such
violations, breaches, defaults or accelerations as to do not have a material
adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial
condition, business, or prospects of Diamond. Further, the opinion contained
in this paragraph is specifically not directed at any antitrust or unfair
competition laws or related statutes or regulations promulgated by the United
States.
5. Each consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
registration, declaration, or filing with, any governmental agency or public or
regulatory unit, agency, body, or authority of the State of Ohio with respect
to Diamond required to be made or obtained in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance of the Agreement by Diamond or the consummation of the
transactions described therein by Diamond has been made or obtained, except for
such consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations,
or filings the failure of which to obtain or make would not have a material
adverse effect upon the assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial
condition, business or prospects of Diamond. However, this Opinion does not
address legal issues, if any, arising under Federal Securities Laws and
Regulations administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission, State "Blue
Sky" Laws and Regulations, and laws and regulations relating to commodity (and
other) futures and indices and other similar instruments; (b) pension and
employee benefit laws and regulations; (c) anti-trust and unfair competition
laws and regulations; (d) laws and regulations concerning filing and notice

6. Except for matters disclosed in the Agreement of the Proxy
Statements/Prospectus, we are not aware of any pending or threatened
litigation, judgment, decree, injunction, or order of any court, which is
reasonably likely (i) to have a material adverse effect on the assets,
liabilities, results of operations, financial conditions, business or prospects
of Diamond or (ii) to cause a material limitation on Ultrak's ability to
operate the business of Diamond after the Closing.
Our opinions and "negative assurance" confirmation are subject to the
following additional assumptions, exceptions and limitations:
(A) With respect to the opinion expressed in Paragraph 6 hereof,
we have not conducted any search of any indexes, dockets or other records of
any federal, state or local court, administrative agency or body of any
arbitrator or conducted any other independent investigation.
(B) As used in the opinions and "negative assurance" confirmations
expressed herein, "to the best of our knowledge," "known to us" and similar
phrases mean the actual knowledge, without independent investigation or
verification, of attorneys in our Firm who are involved in our representation
of Diamond.
(C) This Opinion may be relied upon by you only in connection with
the Agreement and Merger contemplated thereunder, and may not be used or relied
upon by you for any purpose whatsoever without in each instance our prior
written consent. We are qualified to practice law in the State of Ohio and we
do not purport to be experts on, to express any opinion concerning any law
other than the laws of the State of Ohio and relevant law of the United States
of America (with the limitations as set forth above). This Opinion Letter is
solely for the benefit of the addressee hereof in connection with the closing
of the Merger contemplated by the Agreement, and no other person or entity may
rely upon this Opinion Letter without the prior express written consent of this
firm. This Opinion letter is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no

THIS AGREEMENT, dated May ___, 1995, is between Ultrak, Inc., a

covenant and agree as follows:
1. Employment and Duties. Employee agrees to be employed by

Diamond on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Employee
shall perform such duties on behalf of Employer as directed from time to time
by Employer's Board of Directors (the "Board"). Employee shall use his best
efforts to preserve the business of Employer and Diamond and the goodwill of
all employees, customers, suppliers, and other persons having business

"Term" shall mean the period from the date hereof through the date this
Agreement terminates or is terminated.
<PAGE> 57

severance or termination pay policy.
(c) The term "Just Cause" shall mean any one or more of the
following:
(i) Employee violates, directly or indirectly, any laws
or regulations (other than minor traffic violations or similar offenses),
instructs any of Employer's employees to violate such laws or regulations, or

could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect, Employer, its
business or reputation or the ability of Employee to perform his obligations
under this Agreement.
(ii) Employee diverts Employer's funds to himself or any
other person, firm, or entity.
(iii) Employee fails to comply with a specific directive of
the Board of a substantial nature.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or
in any other agreement (oral or written) now or hereafter entered into between
Employer and Employee, Employee expressly understands and agrees that the
provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, and 9, and the remedial provisions of this
Agreement, shall survive any termination of Employee's employment under this

4. Nondisclosure Agreement. Employee shall not, during the Term
and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, use for his own account or for
the benefit of any other person, firm, corporation, or other entity, directly
or indirectly, any of the customer lists, customer requirements, contract
terms, trade names, trade secrets, or good will owned by Employer or Diamond
and used in the business of designing, engineering, manufacturing, selling,
leasing, and/or servicing products of a type and nature that Diamond now
produces or produces between the date hereof and the date Employee's employment
terminates (the "Business") or directly or indirectly disclose or furnish to
any other person, firm, corporation, or other entity, the methods by which the
Business is or has been conducted, any of the methods by which the customers of
Employer and/or Diamond or the Business are or have been obtained, or any
confidential or proprietary information whatsoever of Employer, including,
without limitation, the identities of or other information regarding any
customers or prospective customers of Employer and/or Diamond relating to the
Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
4, Employee shall not be prohibited from disclosing or using any information
and methods that are publicly available for reasons other than Employee's
violation of this Agreement.
5. Noncompetition Agreement.
(a) Employee acknowledges and agrees that the proprietary
information he has acquired regarding Diamond and will acquire regarding
Diamond and Employer will enable him to injure Employer and Diamond and
diminish the value of Employee's investment in Diamond if Employee should
compete with Employer and/or Diamond in the Business. Therefore, Employee
hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Employer, Employee
shall not, during the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter,
directly or indirectly, as a director, officer, agent, employee, consultant or
independent contractor or in any other capacity, (i) invest (other than passive
investments in publicly-owned companies which constitute not more than five
percent (5%) of the voting securities of any such company) or engage in any
business or activity that is competitive with the Business within the United
States; (ii) accept employment with or render services to any other company
engaged in the Business as all or any part of such other company's business; or
(iii) contact, solicit, or attempt to solicit or accept business (A) from any
of the customers of Employer during the Term, or (B) from any person or entity
whose business Employer was soliciting during the Term.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated for Just Cause, then Employee
understands that the noncompetition provisions of Subsection 5(a) applying
subsequent to the termination of this Agreement shall be fully enforceable
against Employee without additional payment by Employer.
-4-
<PAGE> 59
6. Nonemployment. During the Term, Employee shall not, on his
own behalf or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association,
corporation, or other entity, hire, solicit, or seek to hire any employee of
Employer or Diamond or in any other manner attempt directly or indirectly to
influence, induce, or encourage any employee of Employer or Diamond to leave
the employment of Employer or Diamond, nor shall Employee use or disclose to
any person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity any
information obtained while an employee of Employer concerning the names and
addresses of Employer's and/or Diamond's employees.
7. Affiliate. For purposes of this Agreement, an "affiliate" of
Employer shall mean any person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with Employer.
8. Severability. Each provision of this Agreement shall be
treated as a separate and independent clause, and the unenforceability of any
one clause shall in no way impair the enforceability of any of the other
clauses herein. If one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall, for any reason, be held to be excessively restrictive by reason of the
geographic or business scope or duration thereof so as to be unenforceable,
such provision or provisions shall be construed by an appropriate judicial or
arbitral body by limiting and reducing it or them, so that this Agreement shall
be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it
shall then appear.
9. Inventions. Employee shall promptly disclose, grant, and
assign to Employer for its sole use and benefit any and all inventions,
improvements, technical information, and suggestions relating in any way to the
products of Employer or any of its affiliates or capable of beneficial use by
Employer or any of its affiliates, which Employee may conceive, develop, or
acquire during the Term (whether or not during usual working hours), together
with all patent applications, letters patent, copyrights, and reissues thereof
that may at any time be granted for or upon any such invention, improvement, or
technical information. In connection therewith, Employee shall promptly at all
times during and after the Term:
(a) Execute and deliver such applications, assignments,
descriptions, and other instruments as may be necessary or proper in the
opinion of Employer to vest title to such inventions, improvements, technical
information, suggestions, patent applications, patents, copyrights, and
reissues thereof in Employer and to enable it to obtain and maintain the entire
right and title thereto throughout the world; and
(b) Render to Employer, at Employer's expense, all such assistance
as it may require in the prosecution of applications for said patents,
copyrights, and reissues thereof, in the prosecution
-5-
<PAGE> 60
or defense of interferences which may be declared involving any of said
applications, copyrights, or patents, and in any litigation in which Employer
may be involved relating to any such inventions, improvements, technical
information, suggestions, patent applications, patents, copyrights, and
reissues thereof.
10. Remedies. Employee acknowledges and recognizes that a
violation or threatened violation by him of the restrictions, agreements, or
covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6, or 9 of this Agreement will cause
irreparable damage to Employer and that Employer will have no adequate remedy
at law for such violation or threatened violation. Accordingly, Employee
agrees that Employer shall also be entitled, in addition to any other rights or
remedies existing in its favor, to obtain specific performance or injunctive
relief in order to enforce this Agreement or prevent a breach or further breach
of any provision hereof. Such right to specific performance or injunction
shall be in addition to Employer's right to bring an action for damages
actually sustained by Employer or to exercise any other right or remedy
available to Employer as a result of any breach hereunder.
11. Acknowledgments. Employee acknowledges and recognizes that
(i) the enforcement of any of Sections 4, 5, 6, or 9 of this Agreement by
Employer is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Employer in
protecting its goodwill, trade secrets and other confidential or proprietary
information, business, accounts, and patronage (collectively, in this Section
11, "Employer's Interests") and will not unreasonably interfere with Employee's
ability to pursue a proper livelihood, and (ii) the restraints imposed by the
covenants of and restrictions on Employee in this Agreement are not greater
than necessary to protect Employer's Interests.
12. Assignment. Employer shall have the right to assign this
Agreement to its successors or assigns only with Employee's consent. The
rights and duties of Employee hereunder are personal to him, and no such right
may be assigned or duty delegated by him.
13. Estate. If Employee dies prior to the expiration of the Term,
any monies that may be due him from Employer under this Agreement as of the
date of his death shall be paid to his estate.
14. Notices. All notices and requests hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be delivered in person, by certified or registered mail,
postage prepaid, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, and
shall be addressed to the addresses specified beside each party's signature at
the end of this Agreement. Such notices and requests shall be deemed delivered
on the day on which personally delivered or, if delivered by mail, on the third
business day after deposit in the United States mail, as evidenced by a post
office receipt furnished to the sender. Any party may change his or its
address for receipt of notices and
-6-
<PAGE> 61
requests hereunder by notice duly given to the other party in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 14.
15. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS
WITHOUT REFERENCE OR REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES OF SAID STATE.
16. Costs, Expenses, and Legal Fees. Each party hereto agrees to
pay the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by
the other party in successfully (i) enforcing any of the terms of this
Agreement or (ii) proving that the other party breached any of the terms of
this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, Employer and Employee shall pay their own expenses separately
incurred in connection with the preparation and review of this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby.
17. Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach or provision
of this Agreement must be in writing. No waiver of any breach or failure by
either party to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement at any
time shall, in any manner, limit or waive such party's right thereafter to
enforce and to compel strict compliance with every term and condition hereof.
One or more waivers of any breach of any covenant, term, or provision of this
Agreement by any party shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent
breach of the same covenant, term, or provision nor shall it be considered a

TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THE ULTRAK GROUP
MANAGER'S INCENTIVE PROGRAM
FOR 1995
Purpose:
The manager's incentive program is intended to reward outstanding performance
and to focus attention on the important aspects of your company or division.
It is also intended to help develop you as a person, a leader and a
businessman. A full understanding of the program provisions is critical to its
success.
Program Provisions:
The program encompasses six (6) areas of measurement, some weighted more
heavily than others. The incentive is based off your base salary and will be
rewarded up to a maximum of 50% of your base salary. The six categories of
measurement and the weighting are set forth below:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Grade Weight in
Range Area of Measurement Points
- ------ -------------------- ------
<S> <C> <C>
0-unlimited Actual Net Income to Budget before
corporate 5.0
0-unlimited Actual Net Revenues to Budget 2.5
0-10 Interco cooperation and market
delineation 2.5
0-10 Improvement in Customer Service
Survey Ratings 1.5
0-10 Improvement in Employee Survey
Supervisor Ratings 1.5
0-10 Organization and management of
assets (AR, Inventory) 1.5
</TABLE>
Incentive Calculations:
A total of 50 points earned equals an incentive payment of 12 1/2 % of base
salary; 100 points earned equals 25% of base salary; 150 points earned equals
37 1/2 % of base salary. Maximum points that can be earned is 200 (50% of base
salary). Irrespective of the number of points earned, no incentive will be paid
if actual net income before corporate is less than 88% of budget.
<PAGE> 64
Example Calculations:
Net income: Up to 88% of actual net income to budget before corporate
equals a grade of 0: 90% equals a grade of 2: 100% equals a
grade of 12: 120% equals a grade of 32, etc. There is no
ceiling in this category.
The grade is then multiplied times the weighting for the total
points earned. For example, if net income before corporate
were 100% of budget, the points would be 12 X weighting
of 5 for a total on this category of 60 points (12 X 5.0 = 60).
Net Revenues: Same as above except the weighting is 2.5 not 5.0. There is
no ceiling in this category. For example, if total revenues
exceed budget by 10%, the points earned would be 22 times 2.5=
55 points earned.
All Other: The maximum grade is 10, however, the weighting factors vary
by categories. Average achievement would be a 5. All of
these areas are subjective.
In the example below, assuming both actual net income before corporate and
revenues were at budget for the year and all other categories scored an 8, the
total points earned would be:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Points Weight Total
------ ------ -----
<S> <C> <C> <C>
*Net Income to Budget 12 5.0 60.0
*Revenues to Budge 12 2.5 30.0
*Intercompany cooperation/delineation 8 2.5 20.0
*Improvement in customer service ratings 8 1.5 12.0
*Improvement in employee survey ratings 8 1.5 12.0
*Balance sheet management 8 1.5 12.0
----
Total points earned 146/200
=73% OR 37% OF BASE
</TABLE>
Grading and Payment:
The incentive payment request should be prepared by you and presented to your
supervisor for review, discussion and approval. If you qualify, interim
payments can be made after July 15th and can be paid on a monthly basis
thereafter. Interim incentive payments should be based upon the June 30th
financial statements. Total interim payments should not exceed 80% of the
final total incentive estimate.
Final incentive payments, including any adjustments necessary, will be made
after the year end audited financial statements are released.

I have read and I understand the provisions of the 1995 Manager's Incentive
Program. My final approved 1995 budget, which is the measuring basis for this
program, is attached.

EXHIBIT 9.03
_______________, 1995
Diamond Electronics, Inc.
4465 Coonpath Road
Carroll, Ohio 43112
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Ultrak, Inc., a Colorado corporation
("Ultrak"), and Diamond Electronics Corp., a Texas corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrak ("Newco"), in connection with the
transactions described in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of
April 11, 1995 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Ultrak, Diamond
Electronics, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Diamond"), the Signing Shareholders,
and Newco. Capitalized terms used in this opinion letter and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger
Agreement.
In so acting, we have examined and relied upon the accuracy of
original, certified, conformed, or photostatic copies of such records,
agreements, certificates, and other documents as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate to enable us to render the opinions set forth below. In all such
examinations, we have assumed the legal capacity of natural persons, Ultrak's
compliance with the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the genuineness of
signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all original documents,
and the conformity to such original documents of all copies submitted to us as
certified, conformed, or photographic copies and, as to certificates of public
officials, we have assumed the same to have been properly given and to be
accurate. We also have relied, as to various matters of fact relating to the
opinions set forth below, on certificates of public officials and officers of
Ultrak.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations,
qualifications, and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
(1) Ultrak is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado
and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease, and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. Ultrak is duly qualified to transact business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in the State of Texas. Newco
is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good
standing under the laws
<PAGE> 68
Diamond Electronics, Inc.
Page 2
of the State of Texas and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and to carry on
its business as now being conducted.
(2) Ultrak and Newco have the full corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver the Merger Agreement, to perform
their obligations under the Merger Agreement, and to consummate the
Merger and the other transactions described therein. The execution
and delivery of the Merger Agreement by Ultrak and Newco, the
performance by Ultrak and Newco of their obligations thereunder, and
the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions described in
the Merger Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of Ultrak and Newco.
(3) Each consent, approval, order, or authorization of,
or registration, declaration, or filing with, any governmental agency
or public or regulatory unit, agency, body, or authority of the State
of Texas or the United States with respect to Ultrak and/or Newco
required to be made or obtained in connection with the execution,
delivery, or performance of the Merger Agreement by Ultrak and/or
Newco or the consummation of the transactions described therein by
Ultrak and/or Newco has been made or obtained, except for such
consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations,
declarations, or filings, the failure of which to obtain or make would
not have a material adverse effect upon the assets, liabilities,
results of operations, financial condition, business, or prospects of
Ultrak and/or Newco.
(4) The execution, delivery, and performance of the Merger
Agreement, the consummation of the Merger, and the other transactions
described in the Merger Agreement, and the fulfillment of and
compliance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement do no
and will not, with the passing of time or the giving of notice or
both, violate, constitute a breach of, or default under, result in the
loss of any material benefit under, or permit the acceleration of any
obligation under (a) any term or provision of the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of Ultrak or Newco, (b) any judgment, decree,
or order known to us of any court or governmental authority or agency
addressed to and binding on Ultrak or Newco or any of their
properties, or (c) any statute, regulation or rule of the State of
Texas or the United States applicable to Ultrak and/or Newco, except,
in the case of clauses (b) and (c) above, for such violations,
breaches, defaults, or accelerations as do not have a material adverse
effect on the assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial
condition, business, or prospects of Ultrak and/or Newco.
(5) The shares of Ultrak Common Stock that are to be
issued to the shareholders of Diamond pursuant to the Merger (on the
Effective Date and on each of the Adjustment Dates) have been duly
authorized and, when so issued in accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
<PAGE> 69

(6) The Merger Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Ultrak and Newco and constitutes the valid and binding
agreement of Ultrak and Newco, enforceable against Ultrak and Newco in
accordance with its terms, except (a) as may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or
similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights
generally, (b) as may be limited by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in an action
at law or a suit in equity), (c) that the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be
subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the
court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought, and (d)
subject to the Other Common Qualifications, as defined and set forth
in the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991).
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following limitations,
qualifications, and assumptions:
(a) Whenever any opinion is qualified by the words "to our
knowledge," "known to us," or other words of similar meaning, the quoted words
mean the actual knowledge, without independent investigation or verification,
of attorneys in our Firm involved in the representation of Ultrak.
(b) In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraph (1) above
concerning the good standing of Ultrak in Colorado and the foreign
qualification and good standing of Ultrak in Texas, we have relied exclusively
upon certificates of authorities of the State of Colorado and Texas, and such
opinions have only the meanings ascribed to those certificates by those
authorities.
(c) This opinion letter is limited in all respects to the laws of
the State of Texas and the federal laws of the United States, and we assume no
responsibility as to the applicability or effect of any other laws. No opinion
is expressed herein with respect to any laws, ordinances, statutes or
regulations of any county, city, or other political subdivision of the State of
Texas.
(d) The opinions and "negative assurance" confirmation expressed
herein are limited to the matters specifically addressed, and no opinion or
confirmation is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters so specifically
expressed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no opinion or
confirmation is expressed herein as to the applicability or the effect of the
antitrust or (except as expressly stated herein) the securities laws and
regulations of the State of Texas or the United States to the Merger Agreement
or any of the transactions described therein.
This opinion letter has been furnished to you pursuant to Section 9.03
of the Merger Agreement, and no other person or entity shall be entitled to
rely upon it, or to quote, distribute, or otherwise use it for any other
purpose, without our prior written consent. This

SCHEDULE 2.10
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND ARRANGEMENTS; ERISA:
Diamond sponsors a 401(k) salary savings plan covering all employees meeting
certain eligibility requirements. Under the plan, Diamond is required to
contribute amounts equal to 10% of the employee's first 4% of voluntary
contributions. Diamond's contributions to the plan were $8,429 and $7,481
during 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Diamond has a stock option plan, under which certain employees have been
granted options to purchase shares of the company's common stock at a price
equal to the market price of the stock at the date of the grant. As of January
1, 1995, 30,000 such options were outstanding and exercisable.
<PAGE> 101
SCHEDULE 2.11
ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES:
1. Diamond has made the following capital expenditure commitments
in excess of $10,000 during the period January 1, 1995 through
March 31, 1995.
- Electromagnetic emission testing system for $16,671.
- SmartScan pro demo system for $23,328.
Total capital expenditure commitments for the period of
January 1, 1995 through March 31, 1995 were $72,874.
2. Diamond previously formed a subsidiary associated with the
acquisition of part of Alpha Electronics, Inc. In late 1994,
Alpha CCTV, Inc. terminated its lease of its San Antonio
office facility. This subsidiary, Alpha CCTV, Inc. was
inactive as of March 31, 1995.
3. Diamond's primary banking relationship is with Society Bank.
4. Certain foreign filings on Diamond's patents were permitted to
lapse during 1991 and 1992 due to a lack of funds to file and
maintain such foreign filings.
5. Executive management bonuses totaling $54,000 were paid during
March, 1995 which represent amounts authorized and accrued.
$4,500 was paid to an affiliate, Biddinger Investment Capital
Corporation, during the first quarter of 1995 for headquarter
expenses. $6,435 was paid to an affiliate, Merchants Travel,
Inc., during the first quarter of 1995 for travel expenses.
Travel advances to various Diamond employees were made during
the first quarter of 1995 in the ordinary course of business.
Outside directors fees totaling $27,000 were made during
March, 1995 to individuals who were also stockholders. During
March, 1995, Diamond's Board of Directors authorized a special
bonus of $16,800 to executive management, contingent upon the
culmination of the proposed Diamond-Ultrak merger.
6. Diamond Patent #1,189,956, "Dark Current Compensating Lens
Control," was allowed to lapse in 1994 as the patent was not
in current use and was determined by management to be of
little or no value to Diamond.
<PAGE> 102
SCHEDULE 2.14
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS, ETC.:
Diamond abandoned its opportunity to make foreign filings on Diamond patents in
1991 and 1992 during the pendency of Diamond's bankruptcy. Diamond Patent
#1,189,956, "Dark Current Compensating Lease Control," was allowed to lapse in
1994 as the patent was not in current use and was determined by management to
be of little or no value to Diamond.
Diamond has discontinued the use of two trademarks. Diamond's "GOLD DOME"
trademark was contested by a Buffalo, New York bank in November of 1991. On
advice of Diamond's counsel, the company discontinued use of the GOLD DOME
trademark.
Diamond applied for a trademark for "Diamond Vision" which was challenged by
Mitsubishi. Diamond's management determined it was in the best interest of the
company to abandon the application for the trademark.
Diamond's "SmartScan" trademark is also being used by the Peabody Engineering
Corporation in association with one of their flame scanner products. Peabody
Engineering Corporation's counsel has sent the Corporation a copy of its
trademark registration and informed Diamond that it was infringing the Peabody
trademark. The Peabody Engineering Corporation trademark registration is dated
ten months earlier than Diamond's and Peabody Engineering Corporation's first
use of the trademark precedes Diamond's by approximately two months. Diamond
has continued to use the trademark because the company's products do not
compete.

SCHEDULE 2.16(c)
DISCRIMINATION CHARGES
LABOR RELATIONS:
On January 17, 1995, Diamond received notice from the Ohio Civil Rights
Commission that the company was being accused of unlawful discriminatory
practices under Section 4112 of the Ohio Revised Code. Diamond was asked to
provide its response by no later than February 3, 1995.
On January 25, 1995, Diamond's counsel reviewed the charge and the
Corporation's documentation supporting its decision to release the employee due
to excessive absenteeism.
Diamond counsel then prepared a position statement for the Corporation. It was
counsel's opinion that Diamond had sufficient cause to release the employee due
to excessive absenteeism. The position statement was delivered to the Ohio
Civil Rights Commission on February 3, 1995.
As of April 6, 1995, Diamond has not received a response from the Ohio Civil
Rights Commission regarding its allegations of discriminatory practices under
Section 4112 of the Ohio Revised Code.
<PAGE> 104
SCHEDULE 2.17
LITIGATION AND CLAIMS:
Diamond has been notified by The Travelers, the company's group insurance
carrier prior to November, 1991, of their claim against Diamond for non-payment
of premiums of $20,109. The company denies liability for this claim as it is a
pre-petition Chapter 11 debt.
The Travelers has hired counsel who is currently negotiating with Diamond on
The Travelers behalf to resolve the dispute. No provision for any settlement
has been reflected in Diamond's financial statements.
On July 30, 1991, Diamond filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Federal Bankruptcy Laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Ohio -- Eastern Division. On December 15, 1992, the Bankruptcy
Court confirmed the company's plan of reorganization.

ANNEX B
OHIO REVISED CODE Section 1.701.85
Dissenting shareholder's demand for fair cash value of shares.
(A)(1) A shareholder of a domestic corporation is entitled to relief
as a dissenting shareholder in respect of the proposals described in Sections
1701.74, 1701.76, and 1701.84 of the Revised Code, only in compliance with this
section.
(2) If the proposal must be submitted to the shareholders of the
corporation involved, the dissenting shareholder shall be a record holder of
the shares of the corporation as to which he seeks relief as of the date fixed
for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting of the
shareholders at which the proposal is to be submitted, and such shares shall not
have been voted in favor of the proposal. Not later than ten days after the
date on which the vote on the proposal was taken at the meeting of the
shareholders, the dissenting shareholder shall deliver to the corporation a
written demand for payment to him of the fair cash value of the shares as to
which he seeks relief, which demand shall state his address, the number and
class of such shares, and the amount claimed by him as the fair cash value of
the shares.
(3) The dissenting shareholder entitled to relief under division
(C) of Section 1701.84 of the Revised Code in the case of a merger pursuant to
Section 1701.80 of the Revised Code and a dissenting shareholder entitled to
relief under division (E) of Section 1701.84 of the Revised Code in the case of
a merger pursuant to Section 1701.801 [1701.80.1] of the Revised Code shall be
a record holder of the shares of the corporation as to which he seeks relief as
of the date on which the agreement of merger was adopted by the directors of
that corporation. Within twenty days after he has been sent the notice provided
in Section 1701.80 or 1701.801 [1701.80.1] of the Revised Code, the dissenting
shareholder shall deliver to the corporation a written demand for payment with
the same information as that provided for in division (A)(2) of this section.
(4) In the case of a merger or consolidation, a demand served on
the constituent corporation involved constitutes service on the surviving or
the new entity whether served before, on, or after the effective date of
the merger or consolidation.
(5) If the corporation sends to the dissenting shareholder, at the
address specified in his demand, a request for the certificates representing
the shares as to which he seeks relief, the dissenting shareholder, within
fifteen days from the date of the sending of such request, shall deliver to the
corporation the certificates requested so that the corporation may forthwith
endorse on them a legend to the effect that demand for the fair cash value of
such shares has been made. The corporation promptly shall return such endorsed
certificates to the dissenting shareholder. A dissenting shareholder's failure
to deliver such certificates terminates his rights as a dissenting shareholder,
at the option of the corporation, exercised by written notice sent to the
dissenting shareholder within twenty days after the lapse of the fifteen-day
period, unless a court for good cause shown otherwise directs. If shares
represented by a certificate on which such a legend has been endorsed are
transferred, each new certificate issued for them shall bear a similar legend,
together with the name of the original dissenting holder of such shares. Upon
receiving a demand for payment from a dissenting shareholder who is the record
holder of uncertificated securities, the corporation shall make an appropriate
notation of the demand for payment in its shareholder records. If
uncertificated shares for which payment has been demanded are to be
transferred, any new certificate issued for the shares shall bear the legend
required for certificated securities as provided in this paragraph. A
transferee of the shares so endorsed, or of uncertificated securities where
such notation has been made, acquires only such rights in the corporation as
the original dissenting holder of such shares had immediately after the service
of a demand for payment of the fair cash value of the shares. A request under
this paragraph by the corporation is not an admission by the corporation that
the shareholder is entitled to relief under this section.
(B) Unless the corporation and the dissenting shareholder have come
to an agreement on the fair cash value per share of the shares as to which the
dissenting shareholder seeks relief, the dissenting shareholder or the
corporation, which in case of a merger or consolidation may be the surviving or
new entity, within three months of the service of the demand by the dissenting
shareholder, may file a complaint in the court of common pleas of the
<PAGE> 111
county in which the principal office of the corporation that issued
the shares is located, or was located at the time when the proposal was
adopted by the shareholders of the corporation, or, if the proposal was not
required to be submitted to the shareholders, was approved by the directors.
Other dissenting shareholders, within that three-month period, may join as
plaintiffs, or may be joined as defendants in any such proceeding, and any two
or more such proceedings may be consolidated. The complaint shall contain a
brief statement of the facts, including the vote and the facts entitling the
dissenting shareholder to the relief demanded. No answer to such a complaint is
required. Upon the filing of such a complaint, the court, on motion of the
petitioner, shall enter an order fixing a date for a hearing on the complaint
and requiring that a copy of the complaint and a notice of the filing and of
the date for hearing be given to the respondent or defendant in the manner in
which summons is required to be served or substituted service is required to be
made in other cases. On the day fixed for the hearing on the complaint or any
adjournment of it, the court shall determine from the complaint and from such
evidence as is submitted by either party whether the dissenting shareholder is
entitled to be paid the fair cash value of any shares and, if so, the number
and class of such shares. If the court finds that the dissenting shareholder is
so entitled, the court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive
evidence and to recommend a decision on the amount of the fair cash value. The
appraisers have such power and authority as is specified in the order of their
appointment. The court thereupon shall make a finding as to the fair cash value
of a share, and shall render judgment against the corporation for payment of
it, with interest at such rate and from such dated as the court considers
equitable. The costs of the proceeding, including reasonable compensation to
the appraisers to be fixed by the court, shall be assessed or apportioned as
the court considers equitable. The proceeding is a special proceeding, and
final orders in it may be vacated, modified, or reversed on appeal pursuant to
the rules of appellate procedure and, to the extent not in conflict with those
rules, Chapter 2505 of the Revised Code. If, during the pendency of any
proceeding instituted under this section, a suit or proceeding is or has been
instituted to enjoin or otherwise to prevent the carrying out of the action as
to which the shareholder has dissented, the proceeding instituted under this
section shall be stayed until the final determination of the other suit or
proceeding. Unless any provision in division (D) of this section is applicable,
the fair cash value of the shares that is agreed upon by the parties or fixed
under this section shall be paid within thirty days after the date of final
determination of such value under this division, the effective date of the
amendment to the articles, or the consummation of the other action involved,
whichever occurs last. Upon the occurrence of the last such event, payment
shall be made immediately to a holder of uncertificated securities entitled to
such payment. In the case of holders of shares represented by certificates,
payment shall be made only upon and simultaneously with the surrender to the
corporation of the certificates representing the shares for which the payment
is made.
(C) If the proposal was required to be submitted to the
shareholders of the corporation, fair cash value as to those shareholders shall
be determined as of the day prior to the day on which the vote by the
shareholders was taken and, in the case of a merger pursuant to Section 1701.80
or 1701.801 [1701.80.1] of the Revised Code, fair cash value as to the
shareholders of a constituent subsidiary corporation shall be determined as of
the day before the adoption of the agreement of merger by the directors of the
particular subsidiary corporation. The fair cash value of a share for the
purposes of this section is the amount that a willing seller who is under no
compulsion to sell, would be willing to accept and that a willing buyer who
is under no compulsion to purchase would be willing to pay, but in no event
shall the fair cash value of a share exceed the amount specified in the demand
of the particular shareholder. In computing such fair cash value, any
appreciation or depreciation in market value resulting from the proposal
submitted to the directors or to the shareholders shall be excluded.
(D)(1) The right and obligation of a dissenting shareholder to receive
such fair cash value and to sell such shares as to which he seeks relief, and
the right and obligation of the corporation to purchase such shares and to pay
the fair cash value of them terminates if any of the following applies:
(a) The shareholder has not complied with this section,
unless the corporation by its directors waives such failure;
(b) The corporation abandons the action involved, or is
finally enjoined or prevented from carrying out, or the shareholders rescind
their adoption of the action involved;
<PAGE> 112
(c) The dissenting shareholder withdraws his demand, with
the consent of the corporation by its directors;
(d) The corporation and the dissenting shareholder have not
come to an agreement as to the fair cash value per share, and neither the
shareholder nor the corporation has filed or joined in a complaint under
division (B) of this section within the period provided in that Division.
(2) For purposes of division (D)(1) of this section, if the merger
or consolidation has become effective and the surviving or new entity is not a
corporation, action required to be taken by the directors of the corporation
shall be taken by the general partners of a surviving or new partnership or the
comparable representatives of any other surviving or new entity.
(E) From the time of the dissenting shareholders giving of the
demand until either the termination of the rights and obligations arising from
it or the purchase of the shares by the corporation, all other rights accruing
from such shares, including voting or dividend or distribution rights, are
suspended. If during the suspension, any dividend or distribution is paid in
money upon shares of such class or any dividend, distribution, or interest is
paid in money upon any securities issued in extinguishment of or in
substitution for such shares, an amount equal to the dividend, distribution, or
interest which, except for the suspension, would have been payable upon such
shares or securities, shall be paid to the holder of record as a credit upon
the fair cash value of the shares. If the right to receive fair cash value is
terminated other than by the purchase of the shares by the corporation, all
rights of the holder shall be restored and all distributions which, except for
the suspension, would have been made shall be made to the holder of record of
the shares at the time of termination.

NOTES:
1986 COMMITTEE COMMENT
Division (A)(3) and Division (C) are amended to include shareholders
entitled to dissenters' rights under new Sec. 1701.84(E) in connection with
margers under new Sec. 1701.801.
1970 COMMITTEE REPORT
Finally, the committee proposes a rather extensively amended section
1701.85, revising the procedures for perfecting the rights of dissenting
shareholders. The time limitations for perfecting the rights have been altered
somewhat (compare old (A)(1) and (2) with new (A)(2) and (3)); the requirement
in division (3) that the court appoint three appraisers has been optional; the
present provision (division (B)) requiring that in certain circumstances the
corporation is bound to pay the amount demanded by the dissenting shareholder
has been omitted; and the procedure to be followed when no agreement has been
reached and neither party has filed suit has been changed (new (D)(4)). The
definition of fair cash value has not been basically changed.
