PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
Board of Directors Following the Carlyle Investment and the Merger
At the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders approved a cash
investment (the "Investment") of $45,000,000 in the Company by certain investors
affiliated with The Carlyle Group (collectively, "Carlyle"), a private merchant
bank headquartered in Washington, D.C. In consideration of its investment,
Carlyle received 45,000 shares of newly issued Cumulative Convertible
Participating Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share (the "Convertible
Preferred Stock"), and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase up to 1,250,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock (at the current exercise price of $11.39
per share). Carlyle's purchase of the Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants
was financed through the private sale of interests in limited partnerships
affiliated with Carlyle or through other entities. These partnerships and other
entities then purchased the Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants.
Pursuant to the terms of the Investment, Carlyle is entitled to elect a
majority of the Company's Board of Directors, until November 20, 2001, which
date is five years from the consummation of the Investment (the "Five-Year
Period"), provided that Carlyle continues to own at least 20% of the voting
power of the Company. Also pursuant to the terms of the Investment, the number
of directors comprising the Company's Board shall be an odd number. A majority
of the directors (the "Preferred Stock Directors") will be elected by the
holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock acting by written consent and without
a meeting of the Common Stock holders, and the remaining directors (the "Common
Stock Directors") will be elected by the Common Stock holders. The Preferred
Stock Directors serve for annual terms. The Investment agreements also provide
that at least two of the directors elected by the holders of the Common Stock
will have no employment or other relationship with the Company or Carlyle, other
than their positions as directors of the Company. During the Five-Year Period,
holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will not participate in elections of
the Common Stock Directors and the Preferred Stock Directors will not have the
right to vote on the election of any director to fill a vacancy among the Common
Stock Directors. At the end of the Five-Year Period, provided that Carlyle
continues to own at least 20% of the voting power of the Company, holders of the
Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to elect the largest number of
directors which is a minority of the directors of the Company and to vote with
the Common Stock holders (as a single class) on the election of the remaining
directors. Additionally, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, in the
event they no longer have the right to elect at least a minority of the
directors, will have the right (voting as a class with holders of the Company's
7% Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, par value $100 per
share, and any other parity stock) to elect two directors to the Board in the
event the Company fails to make payment of dividends on the Convertible
Preferred Stock for six dividend periods.
Pursuant to an agreement of merger dated January 15, 1998 (the "Merger
Agreement"), the Company acquired OHM Corporation ("OHM") in a two-step
transaction, comprised of a tender offer for 13,933,000 shares of OHM common
stock, or 54% of the outstanding OHM stock, for $160,300,000 in cash, which was
consummated on February 25, 1998, and a merger (the "Merger") of an IT
subsidiary into OHM on June 11, 1998. In the Merger, the former OHM shareholders
received IT common stock representing approximately 57% of the outstanding IT
common stock and 45% of the voting power of IT, as well as cash in the aggregate
amount of $30,800,000. Subsequent to the Merger, holders of the Convertible
Preferred Stock own approximately 21% (approximately 24% assuming exercise of
the Carlyle Warrants) of the Company's voting power.
At the Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 11, 1998 (the "Special
Meeting"), at which the Merger was approved, the shareholders also voted to
eliminate the Company's classified Board of Directors system. Under that
system, the Common Stock Directors of the Company served for three year terms
which were staggered to provide for the election of approximately one-third of
the Board members each year. As a result of the shareholders' vote to
eliminate the Company's classified Board of Directors system, the holders of the
Common Stock are entitled to vote each year on the election of all Common Stock
Directors.
After the Merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Richard W. Pogue and
Charles W. Schmidt were appointed to the Board of Directors as Common Stock
Directors. In connection with such appointment, the authorized number of
directors (both Common and Preferred Stock Directors) was increased to nine(9),
with the Board consisting of five Preferred Stock Directors and four Common
Stock Directors so that the Preferred Stock Directors continue to represent a
majority of the Board of Directors. To effectuate this change, one of the
Common Stock Directors, E. Martin Gibson, resigned as such and was reappointed
as a Preferred Stock Director.

(2) Messrs. DeLuca, Mahoney and Pompe's options with respect to 2,500 shares,
2,000 shares and 2,000 shares, respectively, have vested as a result of the
passage of time but may not be exercised unless the Company's stock price
increases to certain predetermined levels. Because the condition has not
been satisfied and the options therefore are not vested, such options are
not included in the "Beneficial Ownership of Shares" table in Item 12.

Compensation of Directors
Retainer Fees. Non-employee directors each receive annual compensation of
approximately $35,000, consisting of a retainer fee of $6,000 per quarter and a
board meeting fee of $2,750 for each board meeting attended (no additional
compensation is given for attendance at committee meetings). Directors'
compensation may be paid in cash and/or stock as determined by the Executive
Committee. Payments on account of directors fees earned by Messrs. D'Aniello
and Dolan are paid directly to Carlyle.
Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board of Directors serves as a
member or ex-officio member of all committees of the Board and is required to
spend significant time on Company matters. The chairmanship is a non-officer,
non-employee position.
Upon completion of the Investment, Carlyle named one of the Preferred Stock
Directors, Mr. Daniel A. D'Aniello, Chairman of the Board. Mr. D'Aniello is
compensated for his services at the rate of $120,000 per year, in lieu of the
non-employee director fees described above. Mr. D'Aniello receives the same
compensation the previous chairman, Mr. E. Martin Gibson, received.
Stock Options. At the 1996 Annual Meeting, Stockholders approved the 1996
Stock Inventive Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The purpose of the 1996 Plan is to
enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract, retain and motivate
employees by providing for or increasing their proprietary interests in the
Company, and to attract non-employee directors and further align their interests
with those of the stockholders by providing for or increasing their proprietary
interests in the Company. Every employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is eligible to be considered for the grant of awards under the 1996
Plan.
Prior to the Special Meeting, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
that could be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 1996 Plan was
639,357; and on April 1 of each of the years 1999, 2000 and 2001, such maximum
number was to be increased by a number equal to 2% of the number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding on each of such dates. At the Special
Meeting, stockholders approved amendments to the plan to provide for a one-time
increase equal to 2% of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger, and to
change the date of occurrence of the remaining scheduled annual increases from
April 1 of each such year to the first business day of each fiscal year of the
Company through 2001, in accordance with the previously announced change to the
last Friday in December as the end of the Company's fiscal year.
The 1996 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
"Committee"). Subject to the provisions of the 1996 Plan, the Committee has
full and final authority to adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the 1996 Plan, select the employees to whom awards will be granted
thereunder, to grant such awards, and to determine the terms and conditions of
such awards and the number of shares to be issued pursuant thereto.
Pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Plan, grants of stock options to non-
employee directors are within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, and
since the approval of the 1996 Plan at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,
no grants have been made to non-employee directors.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each holder of an option to purchase a share
of OHM Common Stock (each an "OHM Option") granted under OHM's 1986 Stock
Option Plan, the Directors Deferred Fee Plan, the Incentive Stock Plan and the
Nonqualified Stock Option Plan for Directors (collectively, the "OHM Stock
Plans") was required to elect the treatment of their OHM Options under the
provisions of the Merger Agreement. OHM Option holders were permitted to elect
that each OHM Option, be converted into the right to receive cash consideration
equal to the product of (x) (1) the excess of $11.50 over (2) the exercise price
per share subject to such OHM Option and (y) the number of shares subject to
such OHM Option, or that, at the effective time of the Merger, each OHM Option
would be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and
conditions as were applicable under such OHM Option, a number of shares of
Common Stock equivalent to the number of shares of OHM Common Stock that could
have been purchased immediately prior to the effective time under such OHM
Option multiplied by 1.394 shares of OHM Common Stock for each share of Common
Stock (the "Exchange Ratio") rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of
Common Stock), at a price per share of Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest
whole cent) equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the Shares otherwise
purchasable pursuant to such OHM Option divided by (z) the Exchange Ratio;
provided, however, that in the case of any OHM Option to which Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") applied, the option
price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms
and conditions of exercise of such option would be determined in accordance with
the foregoing, subject to such adjustments necessary in order to satisfy the
requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
the Company assumed each OHM Option to which this second election applied in
accordance with the terms of the OHM Stock Plans under which such OHM Option was
issued and the stock option agreement by which it was evidenced. Holders of OHM
Options with respect to 188,038 shares
6
<PAGE>
of OHM Common Stock (convertible into 262,126 shares of Company Common Stock)
chose the second election.
Retirement Plan. Prior to the consummation of the Investment, the Company
maintained a retirement plan for non-employee directors and under certain
circumstances directors who met the plan's length of service requirements were
entitled to an accelerated lump sum payment upon a change of control such as
caused by the Investment. In connection with the Investment, however, each of
the then non-employee directors of the Company acknowledged and agreed to a
modification of the right to receive the accelerated lump sum payment. The
payments to be received by non-employee directors pursuant to the amended plan
are significantly less than the lump sum payments that were waived. Pursuant to
the plan as amended, Mr. Gibson is to receive $16,000 in annual benefits, for a
total of $80,000, and Mr. McGill is to receive $40,000 in annual benefits, for a
total of $200,000, payable in monthly installments over five years, on account
of their service as directors prior to the Investment.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No member of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is a former
or current officer or associate of the Company or its subsidiaries and there are
no Compensation Committee interlocks.

(1) The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned includes shares of
Common Stock in which the persons set forth in the table have either
investment or voting power. Unless otherwise indicated, all of such
interests are owned directly, and the indicated person or entity has sole
voting and investment power, subject to community property laws where
applicable. The number of shares beneficially owned also includes shares
that the following individuals have the right to acquire within 60 days of
July 20, 1998 upon exercise of stock options (and conversion of Depositary
Shares in the case of Messrs. Gibson and McGill) in the following amounts:
(i) 5,625 shares upon exercise of options and 5,351 shares upon conversion
of the Depositary Shares as to Mr. Gibson, (ii) 4,375 shares upon exercise
of options and 1,070 shares upon conversion of the Depositary Shares as to
Mr. McGill, (iii) 34,334 shares as to Mr. DeLuca, (iv) 28,834 shares as to
Mr. Mahoney, (v) 17,355 shares as to Mr. Pompe, (vi) 2,267 shares as to Mr.
Kirk, and (vii) 136,566 shares as to Mr. Strawbridge.
(2) For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned, as well as the percentage of outstanding Common Stock
held, by each person or group set forth in the table, the number of such
shares is divided by the sum of the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock on July 20, 1998 plus (i) the number of shares of Common Stock subject
to options exercisable currently or within 60 days of July 20, 1998 by such
person or group, (ii) shares of Common Stock into which persons who hold
Depositary Shares or Convertible Preferred Stock may convert such security
(or otherwise obtain Common Stock), and/or receive Common Stock upon
exercise of Warrants, in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 13d-3(d)(1)").
Depositary Shares may be converted at any time into Common Stock at the
ratio of 1.0702 shares of Common Stock for each Depositary Share. The
Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted at any time into Common Stock
at the ratio of 131.75 shares of Common Stock for each share of Convertible
Preferred Stock (reflecting a conversion price of $7.59 per share of
Convertible Preferred Stock).
(3) Represents shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of all Carlyle Warrants held by
certain limited partnerships controlled by TCG Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company ("TCG Holdings"), as set forth in more detail in
the following sentence. The cumulative TCG Holdings ownership figure
represents (i) 1,803,941 shares beneficially owned by Carlyle Partners II,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("CPII"), (ii) 82,146 shares
beneficially owned by Carlyle Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("CPIII"), (iii) 1,517,100 shares beneficially owned by

("CITIPII"), and (ix) 197,475 shares beneficially owned by Carlyle-IT
Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("CITP"). TC Group, L.L.C.,
a Delaware limited liability company ("TC Group"), may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of 6,492,689 shares of ITC Common Stock as the general
partner of CPII, CPIII, CIG, and CITP, and as the managing general partner
of CIPII, CIPIII, C/SIP, CITIP and CITIPII. TCG Holdings, as a member
holding a controlling interest in TC Group, may be deemed to share all
rights herein described belonging to TC Group. Furthermore, because certain
managing members of TCG Holdings are also managing members of Carlyle
Investment Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("CIM"), TCG Holdings may be deemed the beneficial owner of the shares of
Common Stock controlled by CIM (see footnote 4 below). The principal
business address of TC Group and TCG Holdings is c/o The Carlyle Group, 1001
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 220 South, Washington DC 20004. The
principal business address of CPII, CPIII, CIG, CITP and CIM is Delaware

(4) Represents shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of all Carlyle Warrants held by the
State Board of Administration of the State of Florida over which CIM holds
sole voting and disposition power. Because certain managing members of TCG
Holdings are also managing members of CIM, CIM may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock controlled by TCG Holdings
(see footnote 3 above).

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
- -------
Employment Agreements. The Company and each of Anthony J. DeLuca, James R.
Mahoney and Raymond J. Pompe have entered into employment agreements with terms
through November 1999. The employment agreements provide for initial base
salaries at the rates in effect at the time of the closing of the Investment,
subject to annual upward adjustment at the discretion of the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). Salaries
are subject to reduction only in connection with action taken by the Board of
Directors for all management employees. Each of the employment agreements
provides for a short-term incentive compensation plan to be administered by the
Compensation Committee. The target short-term incentive compensation level is
40%, and the maximum level is 60%, of base salary, except in the case of Mr.
DeLuca, for whom the target level is 50%, and the maximum level is 75%, of base
salary. The Company also is required to maintain long-term incentive plans to
be administered by the Compensation Committee, which will make awards, primarily
of stock options, based on appropriate performance criteria. The annual awards
are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and will generally target
long-term incentive opportunities.
The agreements provide for severance payments under certain circumstances.
Under the agreements, the Company will have "good reason" to terminate Messrs.
DeLuca, Mahoney or Pompe because of the Company's performance if such persons
fail to
9
<PAGE>
meet certain management forecasts for two consecutive fiscal years. If the
executive is terminated because of the Company's performance (under the
circumstances permitted in the agreements) within 24 months after a change in
control, is terminated without reason, or resigns for cause, he is entitled to
receive his base salary as adjusted from time to time (presently $400,000 in the
case of Mr. DeLuca, $260,000 in the case of Mr. Mahoney, and $280,000 in the
case of Mr. Pompe) for 12 months following the termination (24 months in the
case of Mr. DeLuca), or, if he is terminated because of the Company's
performance (under the circumstances permitted in the agreements) but not within
24 months after a change in control, he is entitled to receive his base salary
for six months following the termination (12 months in the case of Mr. DeLuca).
In addition, under certain circumstances, the executive's short-term incentive
compensation will be paid on a pro-rated basis, and he will be entitled to
Company employee benefits for a specified period.
The Company has provided loans to Messrs. DeLuca, Mahoney and Pompe to allow
them to make substantial purchases of the Company's Common Stock in the open
market. The agreements each required that within three months of the closing of
the Investment, Mr. DeLuca purchase between $100,000 and $125,000 worth of
Common Stock and Messrs. Mahoney and Pompe each purchase between $75,000 and
$100,000 worth of Common Stock. All of the executives have purchased the
required amounts of Common Stock, and Messrs. DeLuca, Mahoney, and Pompe have
received loans in the principal amounts of $125,000, $100,000, and $100,000,
respectively, to purchase the stock. In connection with the short-term
compensation plan described above, the Company may provide for forgiveness of a
certain portion of the loan principal and interest if previously agreed to
targets are met or exceeded. The loans bear interest at the rate of 8.25% per
year and are repayable at upon the earlier of the executive's termination of
employment or November 19, 1999. The employment agreements also provide for
reimbursement for business expenses and vacation and other benefits consistent
with existing Company policies and practices.
Additionally, as part of their employment agreements, each of Messrs. DeLuca,
Mahoney and Pompe are bound by non-compete provisions with the Company if they
terminate their employment by resignation.
Mr. Strawbridge, as well as other senior executives at OHM, entered into
employment agreements with OHM prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement,
and the tender offer for OHM resulted in a change in control of OHM for purposes
of those employment agreements. As a result of the change in control, under his
employment agreement, Mr. Strawbridge was entitled to continue his employment
with OHM in his position at the time of the tender offer for a period of
approximately three years following the date of the change in control. During
the term of employment, Mr. Strawbridge would have been entitled to receive a
base salary and to continue to participate in incentive and employee benefit
plans at levels no less favorable to him than existed prior to the change in
control. In the event of a termination by OHM or by the executive of his
employment during the employment term under circumstances amounting to good
reason under his employment agreement, Mr. Strawbridge would have been entitled
to receive a lump sum payment, subject to an overall limitation to assure
that payments will not constitute "excess parachute payments" under federal
income tax law. Mr. Strawbridge has agreed to remain employed but the Company
has agreed to pay to Mr. Strawbridge the amount he would have received under his
employment agreement if his employment had been terminated, and pursuant to that
agreement Mr. Strawbridge has received $1,400,000.
Sheh Agreements. Robert Sheh resigned as President and Chief Executive
Officer and a director of the Company as of July 1, 1996. Pursuant to the terms
of an agreement between the Company and Mr. Sheh, Mr. Sheh continued to be
treated as an employee of the Company until June 26, 1998, but had no further
duties or responsibilities to the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, among
other benefits, until June 26, 1998, Mr. Sheh continued to be paid $450,000 per
annum and received a car allowance of $5,850 per annum. Under the agreement,
23,998 shares of restricted Common Stock awarded to Mr. Sheh in July 1995 became
fully vested on June 26, 1998, and options to purchase a total of 450,000 shares
of Common Stock became fully vested on April 27, 1998.
Coffman Agreement. In connection with his resignation from the Company,
Franklin E. Coffman, a Senior Vice President, entered into an agreement dated as
of April 17, 1998. Pursuant to that agreement Mr. Coffman resigned as an
officer of the Company and received a one-time payment of $275,000, less payroll
deductibles representing one year's salary and the cash value of certain
benefits. Mr. Coffman's eligibility to participate in Company benefits ceased as
of the date of the agreement. The Company and Mr. Coffman also agreed that he
would have the right to exercise vested options during a two year period after
the agreement and that all unvested options will expire on the
10
<PAGE>
earlier of their scheduled expiration or April 7, 2000. The Company also agreed
to lift vesting restrictions on 8,971 shares of previously awarded restricted
stock.
Relocation Loans. In certain circumstances, the Company has granted and may
in the future grant interest-free loans to executive officers, officers and
certain other employees principally for real estate purchases in connection with
company-initiated transfers to a new location. All loans are approved by the
Compensation Committee and are to be secured by the principal residence of the
individual. Mr. James R. Mahoney, Senior Vice President, entered into a
relocation loan arrangement with the Company with an original principal amount
of $200,000 and secured by a deed of trust on his personal residence in
California. The loan was interest free so long as Mr. Mahoney remained an
employee. Beginning December 31, 1991 and on each December 31st thereafter
until the due date of the loan, 5% of the original principal amount (to a
maximum of 50% of the original principal amount) was forgiven by the Company.
Additionally, Mr. Mahoney agreed to repay the remaining 50% of the original
principal amount in installments related to the issuance of awards under the
Company's incentive compensation plan. In April 1997, $122,451 remained
outstanding on this loan. In May 1998, Mr. Mahoney repaid in full the $102,451
then remaining outstanding on his loan in connection with the sale of his
California residence.
In connection with the relocation and consolidation of the Company's corporate
headquarters from Torrance, California to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in June 1997,
and other relocations occurring at approximately the same time, the Company
offered relocation assistance to a limited number of officers and key employees.
Relocation assistance packages offered to these individuals involve three
elements: 1) reimbursement of out-of-pocket relocation expenses, including
travel, real estate brokerage commissions (up to a 6% maximum), and loan
origination fees (up to a maximum of two points), 2) a loan to be used for the
purchase of a new residence, and 3) a mobility allowance of between 15% and 30%
of salary (Mr. Mahoney received an allowance of 30% of salary in connection with
his relocation and Mr. DeLuca received a 30% allowance in connection with his
relocation). Amounts paid to reimburse out-of-pocket expenses were "grossed-up"
for tax purposes. The loans to relocating associates have ten year terms, are to
be secured by the residence purchased, and do not bear interest as long as the
associate stays with the Company. Five percent of the loan principal is required
to be repaid annually by the associate and 5% will be forgiven annually by the
Company for each year the associate remains with the Company. The loans are also
due upon the sale of the residence purchased. Mr. DeLuca and Mr. Mahoney each
were offered and accepted relocation loans on such terms in the original
principal amounts of up to $100,000. Mr. DeLuca accepted a loan of $70,000 in
December 1997 and Mr. Mahoney accepted a loan of $100,000 in April 1998. Total
relocation costs for all relocating employees was approximately $953,000.
Carlyle Financial Advisory Fees. In connection with the Investment, the
Company agreed to pay Carlyle (i) an annual financial advisory fee of $100,000,
payable quarterly; and (ii) investment banking fees (equal to 1% of transaction
value) and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for investment
banking services rendered to the Company. The Company has paid $2,500,000
in investment banking fees to Carlyle (and reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses) for services rendered in connection with the Merger transactions,
which is less than the 1% fee to which Carlyle would otherwise have been
entitled pursuant to the terms of its existing agreement with the Company.
Indemnification. The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the
state of incorporation of the Company, and the Bylaws of the Company provide for
indemnification of directors and officers. Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law provides generally that a person sued as a director, officer,
employee or agent of a corporation may be indemnified by the corporation for
reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, if, in cases other than actions
brought by or in the right of the corporation, he or she has acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the corporation (and in the case of a criminal proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful). Section
145 provides that no indemnification for any claim or matter may be made, in the
case of an action brought by or in the right of the corporation, if the person
has been adjudged to be liable, unless the Court of Chancery or other court
determines that indemnity is fair and reasonable despite the adjudication of
liability. Indemnification is mandatory in the case of a director, officer,
employee or agent who has been successful on the merits, or otherwise, in
defense of a suit against him or her. The determination of whether a director,
officer, employee or agent should be indemnified must be made by a majority of
disinterested directors, independent legal counsel or the stockholders.
Directors and officers of the Company are covered under policies of
directors' and officers' liability insurance. The
11
<PAGE>
directors and all officers serving the Company as Senior Vice President or in a
higher position and certain other officers are parties to Indemnity Agreements
(the "Indemnity Agreements"). The Indemnity Agreements provide indemnification
for the directors and covered officers in the event the directors' and officers'
liability insurance does not cover a particular claim for indemnification or if
such a claim or claims exceed the limits of such coverage. The Indemnity
Agreements are generally intended to provide indemnification for any amounts a
director or covered officer is legally obligated to pay because of claims
arising out of the director's or officer's service to the Company.
Additionally, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that its
directors are not to be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by law.
This provision is intended to allow the Company's directors the benefit of the
Delaware General Corporation Law which provides that directors of Delaware
corporations may be relieved of monetary liabilities for breach of their
fiduciary duty of care, except under certain circumstances, including breach of
the director's duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Investment agreements also contain additional provisions for the
indemnification of Company directors and officers in certain circumstances. The
Investment Agreement provides that the Company will indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Carlyle, and its affiliates, directors, officers, advisors, employees
and agents to the fullest extent lawful from and against all demands, losses,
damages, penalties, claims, liabilities, obligations, actions, causes of action
and reasonable expenses ("Losses") arising out of the Investment Agreement or
the related transactions or arising by reason of or resulting from the breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in
the Investment Agreement for the period for which such representation or
warranty survives; provided, however, that the Company shall not have any
liability to indemnify Carlyle with respect to Losses arising from the bad faith
or gross negligence of the Carlyle indemnified party.
The Investment agreements also provide that Carlyle will indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers, advisors,
employees and agents from and against all Losses arising out of the breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Carlyle contained in the
Investment Agreement for the period for which such representation or warranty
survives; provided, however, that Carlyle shall not have any liability to
indemnify the Company with respect to Losses arising from the bad faith or gross
negligence of the Company indemnified party.
The Investment agreements provide that no claim may be made against an
indemnifying party for indemnification until the aggregate dollar amount of all
Losses exceeds $1,500,000 and the indemnification obligations of the respective
parties shall be effective only until the dollar amount paid in respect of the
Losses indemnified against aggregates to an amount equal to $45,000,000.
Further, pursuant to the Merger Agreement with OHM, the Company will, from
and after the effective time of the Merger, indemnify and hold harmless, to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law (and the Company will also advance
expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law,
provided the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to
repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not
entitled to indemnification), each present and former director and officer of
OHM and its subsidiaries against any costs or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities
incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising
out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the
effective time of the Merger, including the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, which is based or arises out of the fact that such person is
or was a director or officer of OHM or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, for
not less than six years after the effective time, the Company and OHM will
maintain OHM's and its subsidiaries' existing directors' and officers' liability
insurance ("D&O Insurance"), subject to certain maximum premium payments,
provided that the Company may substitute therefor policies having at least the
same coverage and containing terms which are no less advantageous to the
intended beneficiaries thereof than the existing D&O Insurance with respect to
matters existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time or may purchase
a six-year extended reporting endorsement under OHM's existing D&O Insurance.
