Note 2 - Foreign operations (cont.)
The periods ended 6/30/96 include operations of Telereunion, Inc. since
May 17, 1996, the date of Telereunion Inc.'s acquisition by the Company.
The periods ended 6/30/95 do not include any operations of Telereunion,
Inc. because they predate its acquisition by the Company. See note 5
hereto.
Note 3 - Net Income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per common and common equivalent share is based on
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For
1995, common equivalent shares include stock options for 128,394 shares
granted at prices below the average market price of $2.32 per share, as if
they were outstanding for the entire quarter, calculated by the treasury

For 1996, common equivalent shares include stock options and warrants
for 654,853 shares granted at prices below the average fair market price at
which the Company's common stock traded during the period, as if they were
outstanding for the entire quarter, calculated by the treasury stock
method as described above.
The average market price during each of the periods presented has been
used in the calculation of equivalent shares in all periods presented as
this results in the maximum dilutive effect.

Note 5 - Business combination
On May 17, 1996, the Company acquired all of the stock of Telereunion, a
privately owned Delaware corporation. Telereunion is a telecommunications
equipment and service company with operations primarily in Mexico. Under
the terms of the acquisition, the Company issued to the shareholders of
Telereunion 1,605,000 shares of common stock of the Company, 380,000
shares of non-voting, non-participating preferred stock having an
aggregate liquidation preference of $380,000 and warrants to purchase up
to 2,595,000 additional shares at $2.19. The warrants would vest and
become exercisable, if at all, as the combined companies meet certain
specified financial objectives and would expire 7 years after closing. In
addition, the Company converted and amended certain non-qualified options
outstanding under the Telereunion 1995 Stock Option and Appreciation
Rights Plan to provide for the right to acquire an aggregate of 216,618
shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.35 per
share.
At June 30, 1996, the Company incurred and capitalized costs of $356,998

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------
On May 17, 1996 the Company acquired Telereunion, Inc. Telereunion, which is a
privately owned Delaware corporation, is a telecommunications equipment and
service provider with operations primarily in the Republic of Mexico. Its
operations in Mexico are conducted through Vextro de Mexico, S.A de C.V., its
97%-owned Mexican subsidiary. Telereunion distributes Northern Telcom
telecommunications products, as well as Octel voice mail systems and provides
conference calling services in Mexico.
The financial statements for 1996 include the operations of Telereunion, Inc.
from May 17, 1996 through June 30. See financial statement footnote number 2
for certain amounts included in the Company's financial statements from
Telereunion. Telereunion, Inc.'s operations for 1995 are not included in the
financial statements, as that predates the acquisition. For a selected
financial data presented on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition took place
at the beginning of the period presented see financial statement footnote
number 5.
REVENUES from the sale of products increased 117% or $453,017 from $387,829 in
the second quarter of 1995 to $840,846 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
Revenues increased 85% or $621,649 from $728,435 for the six months ended June
30,1995 to $1,350,084 for the six months ended June 30,1996. Sales increased
due to the volume that the Telereunion acquisition provided, which was offset
by a decrease in revenues from DTS/ZWUT. Revenues from DTS/ZWUT decrease
primarily to two significant orders not closing as anticipated during the
quarter. These orders are expected to close later this year. Additionally,
the Company anticipates benefiting from diversifying its product line from
mainly PBX switching equipment from Cortelco in Poland, to a broad line of
telecomm equipment from Northern Telecom (Nortel), voice mail (Octel),
teleconferencing bridging services and equipment (Vtel, Polycom, DataBeam),
specialized telecomm applications, cabling and approximately $35,000 of monthly
based service contracts.
COST OF REVENUES increased by $385,127 from $122,807 in the second quarter of
1995 to $507,934 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Cost of Sales increased
$495,078 from $331,017 for the six months ended June 30,1995 to $826,095 for
the six months ended June 30,1996. The increase in the cost of revenues for
the first half of 1996, compared with the same period of 1995, reflects the
increase in sales revenues realized by the Company, as a result of the
inclusion of Telereunion's operations beginning May 17, 1996. These increases
are offset by decreases in cost of revenues from DTS/ZWUT as a result of the
decreased revenues experienced by DTS/ZWUT.
GROSS PROFIT increased 26% or $67,890 from $265,022 in the second quarter of
1995, to $332,912 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. There was an increase
of 32% or $126,571 from the $397,418 gross profit of the first half of 1995,
compared with the $523,989 gross profit for the first six months of 1996. This
increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to the inclusion of
Telereunion's operations beginning May 17, 1996.
10
<PAGE>
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (SG&A) increased $198,813 from
$399,574 for the second quarter of 1995, to $598,387 for the same period of
1996. The total SG&A expenses for the six months ended in June 30,1996 were
$999,931, which implies an increase of $252,681 over the SG&A expenses of the
same period of 1995 of $747,250. This increase was mainly due to the addition
of SG&A expenses of Telereunion, a non-recurring expense of approximately
$55,000 relating to a severance package for the Company's former Chairman and
CEO who resigned during February 1966 and the development of additional product
lines in Poland.
LOSS FROM OPERATIONS increased from ($134,552) for the second quarter of 1995
to ($265,475) for the same period of 1996 and increased from ($349,832) to
($475,942) for the first half of 1995 and 1996, respectively. This increase for
the first six months of the year 1996, was generated mainly by the increase in
the Selling General and Administrative expenses.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) decreased $7,177 from $123,250 for the first six months
of 1995, to $116,073 for the same period of 1996. Primary components of this
change were Interest Income, Foreign exchange gain (loss) and Other Income. The
Company has realized less interest income when comparing the first six months
of 1996 to the same period of 1995, primarily due to a decrease in the amount
invested in short term securities, as a result of the net cash utilized in by
the Company for its operations.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES was $27,599 for the first six months of 1996 as
compared to no provision for the same period of 1995. This change was mainly
attributed to a negative impact on the deferred federal taxes in the Mexican
subsidiary of Telereunion, Inc., due to a change of the relative positions of
inventories. The provision for income taxes was $20,451 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, while no provision was required for the same period of
1995.
NET LOSS increased to ($387,594), from ($234,935) for the first six months of
1996 and 1995, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 1996 the Company had cash and
equivalents of approximately $2,868,000. Since inception the Company has
financed its operations primarily through the issuance of debt and equity, and
through cash generated by operations.
The Company does not maintain a line of credit and relies on its working
capital position to fund its operations on an on going basis.
The Company's future cash requirements for the remainder of 1996, and beyond,
will depend primarily upon the level of sales, the timing of inventory
purchases, expenditures on new product lines implementation and marketing, and
upon capital expenditures for strategic acquisitions and network development.
OUTLOOK AND UNCERTAINTIES
Future trends for the revenues and profitability of the Company are difficult
to predict. The Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties,
including general and specific market economic risks, the risks associated
with the continued conversion of the Polish economy from a communist economy to
a market economy, political risks and sudden economic changes in Mexico,
competitive factors, the risks of its customers being able to obtain financing
11
<PAGE>
for their purchases of the Company's products, risks of collectibility of
accounts receivable generally and the availability of products that will be
approved for use in the Company's foreign markets. In addition, the Company
believes that the markets in which it participates could be subject to numerous
factors that will contribute to the slow growth of its business in those
markets, such as the lack of capital for the creation of infrastructure, lack
of governmental support for the telecommunications industry and intense
competition from other vendors with substantially greater resources and name
recognition that the Company. In addition, many of the products and services,
or their components, sold by the Company, are subject to price fluctuations
which are beyond the Company's control and can affect the Company's ability to
price its products and services competitively and, thus, the overall
profitability of the Company. Furthermore, the Company faces the challenge of
maintaining product lines that reflect the rapidly improving and changing
technology of the telecommunications industry.
It is also difficult to predict what effect the Company's purchase of
Telereunion and the proposed purchase of Orion Communications will have on the
Company's liquidity and capital resources. The exploitation by Telereunion of
the opportunities in the Mexican Telecommunications market and the
opportunities in the US long distance resale and shared tenant services market
are expected to require substantial capital. To the extent Telereunion does
not have a positive net cash flow from its operations, it can be expected that
the Company would have to fund any shortfalls from its working capital. In
addition, any capital expenditures needed to expand the operations of Vextro de
Mexico (a subsidiary of Telereunion), or Orion Communications would likely be
funded out of the working capital of the Company. Any such fundings would
reduce the funds available to finance and expand the Company's operations in
Eastern Europe. In addition, further economic crises in Mexico or Poland could
result in the need to fund any cash shortfalls of the subsidiaries operating in
those countries.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 8, 1996, the Company announced it had signed a
letter of intent to combine with Orion Communications, Inc. (Orion) of
Houston. Orion is a reseller of long distance and Internet Services. Orion
was founded in April 1996 as a management spin-off of portions of DNS
Communications, Inc. (DNS) from Matrix Telecom, Inc. (Matrix), a $80 million
reseller. DNS was a $21 million revenue reseller prior to its merger with
Matrix.
Scott Crist, Chairman of Orion, former CEO of Matrix, and co-founder of DNS
will head up the combined companies as President. Mark Vance, CEO of Orion,
former COO/CFO of Matrix, and co-founder of DNS will serve as Executive Vice
President and CFO of PTMC (d.b.a. Telscape International, Ltd.).
The total merger consideration included 400,000 shares of Telscape Common Stock
in exchange for 100% of the Orion's Common Stock .
The Company believes this merger will strongly reinforce its strategy of
becoming a leading supplier of telecommunications equipment and services to the
Hispanic marketplace within Mexico and the US, by bringing a seasoned
management team in the US long distance and Internet telecommunications
industries .

(b) Reports on Form 8-K.
On June 3, 1996 the Company filed a report on Form 8-K reporting
that the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares
of Telereunion, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Telereunion"). The
acquisition was completed by means of a merger between Telereunion
and a newly formed subsidiary of the Company. Upon consummation of
the merger, the subsidiary changed its name to Telereunion, Inc.
Telereunion distributes Northern Telcom telecommunications products,
as well as Octel voice mail systems and provides conference calling
services in Mexico. Telereunion's operations are conducted through
Vextro de Mexico, S.A de C.V. ("Vextro"), its 97% owned subsidiary
organized under the laws of the Republic of Mexico.
Under the terms of the acquisition, the Company issued to the
stockholders of Telereunion, in exchange for the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of Telereunion,: (i) an aggregate
of 1,605,000 shares of the common stock, $.001 par value per share,
of the Company (the "Common Stock"), (ii) warrants for the purchase
of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $2.19 per share and having a term of seven years (the
"Series A Common Stock Warrants"), (iii) warrants for the purchase
of an aggregate of 95,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $2.19 per share and having a term of seven years (the
"Series B Common Stock Warrants"), and (iv) an aggregate of 380,000
shares of a new series of non-voting, non-participating preferred
stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Company (the "Series B
Preferred Stock"). In addition, the Company converted and amended
13
<PAGE>
certain non-qualified options outstanding under the Telereunion 1995
Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan to provide for the right
to acquire an aggregate of 216,618 shares of Common Stock for an
exercise price of $1.35 per share. The options are fully vested and
immediately exercisable. The consideration paid by the Company for
the issued and outstanding common stock of Telereunion has been
determined by negotiation between the parties.
The exercise price for the Series A Common Stock Warrants and the
Series B Common Stock Warrants was calculated based upon the average
of the closing price for a share of Common Stock quoted on the
Nasdaq Small Cap market for the twenty (20) trading days immediately
preceding December 22, 1995, the date of execution of the letter of
intent with respect to this acquisition. The Series A Common Stock
Warrants will vest and become exercisable, if at all, upon the
Company meeting certain fiscal year earnings per share targets,
computed in accordance with the terms of the Series A Common Stock
Warrants, as follows: (i) 1,000,000 shares if earnings per share
equals at least $.315 per share; (ii) an additional 1,000,000 shares
if earnings per share (computed to include the effect of the vesting
of 2,000,000 shares under the Series A Common Stock Warrants) equals
at least $.458 per share; and (iii) an additional 500,000 shares if
earnings per share (computed to include the effect of the vesting of
all of the Series A Common Stock Warrants) equals at least $.75 per
share. The Series B Common Stock Warrants will vest and become
exercisable, if at all, upon the Company achieving a $5,000,000
increase in net shareholder's equity, computed in accordance with
the terms of the Series B Common Stock Warrants. Both the Series A
Common Stock Warrants and the Series B Common Stock Warrants are
subject to accelerated vesting if the closing price for the
Company's Common Stock as quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any
other reliable public market is at least $12.00 per share for a
period of 90 consecutive trading days during the warrants' terms.
The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company for a
price of $1.00 per share upon the attainment of a specified increase
in net stockholder's equity or upon the attainment of a specified
operating cash flow target. If a redemption event does not occur
within eighteen months of its issuance, the Series B Preferred Stock
is automatically terminated.
In addition to the foregoing terms, three stockholders of
Telereunion who are the principal executive officers of Telereunion
and its operating subsidiaries received three year employment
agreements. The Company also increased the size of its Board of
Directors by one member, from its pre-acquisition size of six
members to seven. The three "management" stockholders of
Telereunion joined the Board as new directors and four of the six
pre-acquisition directors of the Company comprise the remaining
members of the Board. Messrs. Panno, Varghese, Kirkland and Efird
and Messrs. Landa, Mora and Gudino comprise the Board of Directors
of the Company after consummation of the acquisition.
Mr. Christopher Efird, who is a director of the Company, is also a
director of Telereunion. In addition, Mr. Efird is an employee of
Benchmark Equity Group ("Benchmark"), a stockholder of Telereunion.
14
<PAGE>
Upon consummation of the acquisition, Mr. Efird received, as
compensation for his services as an employee of Benchmark, 65,625
shares of Common Stock, 37,500 Series A Common Stock Warrants and
11,875 Series B Common Stock Warrants, which shares and warrants
constitute a portion of the Common Stock and warrants issued to
Benchmark at the closing of the acquisition. Mr. Efird originally
joined the Board of the Company on November 17, 1995.
On June 28, 1996 the Company filed a report on Form 8-K reporting
that the Company had filed an Assumed Name Certificate with the
state of Texas. Accordingly, the Company is now conducting business
as Telscape International, Ltd. In connection with the name change,
the Company's trading symbol changed from "PTMC" to "TSCP".

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
this ____ day of July, 1996, by and among Polish Telephones and Microwave
Corporation, d/b/a Telscape International, Ltd., a Texas corporation
("Telscape"), Orion Newco, Inc. a Texas corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Telscape ("Newco"), Orion Communications, Inc., a Texas
corporation (the "Company") and the stockholders of the Company listed on the
signature pages of this Agreement (the "Stockholders"). (Telscape and Newco
are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the "Telscape Companies.")
BACKGROUND:
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in
accordance with the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "Texas Law"), Newco
will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger") and, pursuant to such
Merger the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock, $0.10 par value
per share of the Company (the "Company Common Stock"), will be converted into
the right to receive shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of
Telscape (the "Telscape Common Stock").
The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Merger is
fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders and has
approved and adopted this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
The Board of Directors of Telscape has determined that the Merger is fair
to, and in the best interests of, Telscape and its stockholders and has
approved and adopted this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
The Board of Directors of Newco has approved and adopted this Agreement
and Telscape, as the sole stockholder of Newco, will adopt this Agreement
promptly after the execution by the parties.
For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as
a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which all parties mutually acknowledge, the parties, intending
to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1
<PAGE>
ARTICLE
THE MERGER; THE CONVERSION OF SECURITIES
1.1 (a) THE MERGER. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the applicable provisions
of Texas Law, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3), Newco will be
merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate
corporate existence of Newco will cease and the Company will continue as the
surviving corporation of the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation").
(b) CLOSINGS.
(i) Unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to
Article IV before the Closing Date, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver
of the conditions set forth in Article IV, the consummation of the Merger (the
"Closing") will take place at the offices of De Martino Finkelstein Rosen &
Virga, 1818 N Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, on August 1, 1996 (but in
any event within two business days) after the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions as set forth in Article IV, or at such other date, time, and place
as Telscape and the Company agree; provided that the conditions set forth in
Article IV have been satisfied or waived at or prior to such time. The date on
which the Closing takes place is referred to as the "Closing Date." As
promptly as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties will cause the Merger
to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the "Certificate of
Merger") with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, in such form as
required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, Texas
Law (the date and time of such filing, or such later date or time agreed upon
by Telscape and the Company and set forth in the Certificate of Merger, being
the "Effective Time"). For all tax purposes, the Closing will be effective at
the end of the day on the Closing Date.
(ii) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.2(a)) and
at the Closing (as defined in Section 1.2(a)):
(A) the Telscape Companies will execute and
deliver the other agreements, instruments and documents referred to in Section
4.2; and
(B) the Company will execute and deliver the
other agreements, instruments and documents referred to in Section 4.1.
1.2 MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION AND CANCELLATION OF COMPANY
COMMON STOCK. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the Telscape Companies, the Company, or their respective
stockholders, including, without limitation, the Stockholders:
(a) subject to the other provisions of this Article I, the
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (or fraction thereof) issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into
400,000 shares of Telscape Common Stock. Telscape Common Stock will be
2
<PAGE>
allocated among the Stockholders as set forth on Schedule 1.3(a) hereto (which
allocation does not contemplate the issuance of any fractional shares of
Telscape's capital stock or warrants to purchase the issuance of any such
fractional shares). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this
Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Telscape Common
Stock or Company Common Stock have been changed into a different number of
shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision,
reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares, or
similar occurrence, the number of shares of Telscape Common Stock into which
the Company Common Stock will be converted will be correspondingly and
proportionately adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision,
reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, or exchange of shares.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the
Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and
extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment will be made with
respect thereto.
(c) All shares of the Company Common Stock will cease to be
outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and retired, and each
certificate previously evidencing the Company Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Common Stock
described in Section 1.2(b)) (the "Converted Shares") will thereafter represent
the right to receive that number of shares of Telscape Common Stock determined
in accordance with Section 1.2(a) (the "Merger Consideration"). The holders of
certificates previously evidencing Company Common Stock will cease to have any
rights with respect to such Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement or by applicable law. Such certificates previously
evidencing Company Common Stock will be exchanged for certificates evidencing
the whole shares of Telscape Common Stock. No fractional shares of Telscape
Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger. The determinations
of the Board of Directors of Telscape made in good faith shall not be subject
to review by anyone, and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons
ever interested hereunder.
(d) Each share of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of
Newco issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be
converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of the
Surviving Corporation.
(e) REGISTRATION OF TELSCAPE COMMON STOCK
(i) DEFINITIONS. As used in this Section 1.(e), the
following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(1) The terms "register," "registered" and
"registration" shall refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a
registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), and the declaration or ordering of the
effectiveness of such registration statement or document.
(B) The term "Registrable Securities" shall
mean: (i) the Telscape Common Stock; and (ii) any other securities of Telscape
issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or
3
<PAGE>
other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with
respect to, in exchange for or in replacement of such Telscape Common Stock
referenced in (i) immediately above, excluding in all cases, however, any
Registrable Securities sold to the public pursuant to a registration under the
Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
(C) The term "Holder" shall mean and refer to
the holders of the Telscape Common Stock, other than Scott Crist and Mark
Vance, issued in accordance with this Agreement.
(ii) PIGGY BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. If (but without
any obligation to do so) Telscape at any time during the two-year period
commencing the date hereof proposes to register (including for this purpose a
registration effected by Telscape for securityholders other than the Holder)
any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public
offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration on Form
S-4, Form S 8 or any form which does not include substantially the same
information as would be required to be included in a registration statement
covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), Telscape shall, each such
time, promptly give the Holders written notice of such registration. Upon the
written request of the Holders or any of them given within ten (10) days after
receipt of such written notice from Telscape, Telscape shall, subject to the
provisions of this Section 1(e), cause to be registered under the Securities
Act all of the Registrable Securities that the Holder has requested to be
registered; and provided further, however, that the Registrable Securities
shall be subject to restrictions on transfer for 90 days after the effective
date of the subject registration statement. The inclusion of any of the
Holder's Registrable Securities in a registration statement filed by Telscape
and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") shall
be deemed to be the exercise by such Holder of the piggy-back registration
rights granted herein to such Holder, and Telscape shall have no further
obligations under this Subsection 1(e)(ii).
(iii) OBLIGATIONS OF TELSCAPE. Whenever required
hereunder to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, Telscape
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(A) Prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its
best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and,
upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for at least
seven (7) months.
(B) Prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
(C) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of
copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with
the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them.
4
<PAGE>
(D) Use its best efforts to register and
qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders for the distribution of the securities covered by the registration
statement, provided that Telscape shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general
consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(E) In the event of any underwritten public
offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting
agreement with terms generally satisfactory to the managing underwriter of such
offering.
(F) Notify the Holders, promptly after
Telscape shall have received notice thereof, of the time when the registration
statement becomes effective or any supplement to any prospectus forming a part
of the registration statement has been filed.
(G) Notify the Holders of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement and use its
reasonable best efforts to remove such stop order.
(iv) FURNISH INFORMATION. It shall be a condition
precedent to the obligations of Telscape to take any action pursuant hereto
that the Holder, having chosen to have its Registrable Securities included for
registration, shall furnish to Telscape such information regarding the Holder,
its Registrable Securities and the intended method of disposition of such
securities as shall be required to effect the registration thereof. The Holder
shall be required to represent to Telscape that all such information which is
given is complete and accurate in all material respects. The Holder shall
deliver to Telscape a statement in writing from the beneficial owners of such
securities that such beneficial owners bona fide intend to sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of such securities.
(v) EXPENSES.
(A) REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All expenses
incurred by Telscape in complying with Subsections 1(e)(ii), 1(e)(iii) and
1(e)(iv) hereof, including without limitation, all registration and filing
fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for Telscape, "Blue
Sky" fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or
required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of regular
employees of Telscape which shall be paid in any event by Telscape) shall be
borne by Telscape.
(B) SELLING EXPENSES. All underwriting
discounts, underwriters' expense allowance, and selling commissions applicable
to the sale of Registrable Securities by the Holders and all fees and
disbursements of any special counsel (other than Telscape's regular counsel)
shall be borne by the Holders of the Registrable Securities so registered pro
rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so registered.
(vi) UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS. All Holders proposing
to distribute their Registrable Securities through an underwriting in which
5
<PAGE>
Telscape has proposed or is proposing to participate, shall (together with
Telscape and any other Holders distributing their securities through such
underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by Telscape.
Notwithstanding any other subsection of this Subsection 1(e), at the request of
the managing underwriter, the Holder shall delay the sale of Registrable
Securities which such Holder has requested be registered hereunder for up to
180 days following the effective date of the registration statement. If any
Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect
to withdraw therefrom by written notice to Telscape and the managing
underwriter. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such
underwriting shall not be withdrawn from such registration except at the
election of the Holder.
(vii) DELAY OF REGISTRATION. No Holder shall have any
right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any
such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with
respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section.
(viii) INDEMNIFICATION. In the event that any
Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement pursuant
hereto:
(A) To the extent permitted by law, Telscape
will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors and
partners of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for
such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses, damages or
liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
violations (collectively, a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such registration statement, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments
or supplements thereto; (ii) the omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; or (iii) any violation by Telscape of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, any applicable state securities law or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state
securities law; and Telscape will reimburse the Holder for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that
the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 1(e)(viii)(A) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, damage, liability or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Telscape, nor
shall Telscape be liable in any such case for any such loss, damage, liability
or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation
which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such
Holder, underwriter or controlling person; provided, however, that Telscape
will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in said
registration statement, said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or
said amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Holder or any other Holder, for use in the
6
<PAGE>
preparation thereof; and further provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to
any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission
made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the
prospectus, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any
underwriter or broker, if a copy of the prospectus was not sent or given to
such person with or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such securities to
such person.
(B) To the extent permitted by law, each
selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless Telscape, its directors, its
officers, any person who controls Telscape within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act, any underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities
Act) for Telscape and any person who controls such underwriter against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which Telscape or
any such director, officer, controlling person, or underwriter or controlling
person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation,
in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the
Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the Holder
will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Telscape or
any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or controlling
person thereof, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Subsection 1(e)(viii)(B) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.
(C) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under this Subsection 1(e)(viii) of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this Subsection 1(e)(viii), notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however,
that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with
the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation
of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The failure to notify an indemnifying party within a reasonable
time of the commencement of any such action, to the extent prejudicial to its
ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any
liability to the indemnified party under this Subsection 1(e)(viii), but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any
liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Subsection 1(e)(viii).
(ix) REPORTS UNDER EXCHANGE ACT. With a view of
making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time
7
<PAGE>
permit a Holder to sell securities of Telscape to the public without
registration, Telscape agrees to:
(A) use its best efforts to make and keep
public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule

entitled, upon surrender of such certificate to Telscape or its transfer agent,
to receive in exchange for such certificate, a certificate or certificates
representing the number of the whole shares of Telscape Common Stock so
surrendered have been converted as described in Section 1.3, in such
denominations and registered in such names as such holder may request

Stock. Unless and until any such certificates are so surrendered and
exchanged, no dividends or other distributions payable to the holders of record
of Telscape Common Stock as of any time on or after the Effective Time will be
paid to the holders of such certificates previously evidencing Company Common
Stock; provided, however, that upon any such surrender and exchange of such
certificates, there will be paid to the record holders of the certificates

and other distributions, if any, with a record date on or after the Effective

Stock; and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or
other distributions or payments, if any, with a record date on or after the
Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after
surrender, payable with respect to such whole shares of Telscape Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party to this Agreement (or Telscape's
transfer agent) will be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for
any cash, Telscape Common Stock, or dividends or distributions delivered to a
public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar
law.
(b) All of the Telscape Common Stock issued upon the surrender
for exchange of certificates previously representing Company Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be deemed to have been issued
in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock. At
and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of
transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of Company
Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If,
after the Effective Time, certificates that previously evidenced Company Common
Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will be
cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

subsequent to the date thereof). To the best knowledge of the Company and the
Management Stockholders, the Real Property Leases are leased free of all
adverse claims, liens, mortgages, charges, security interests, encumbrances and
other restrictions or limitations of any kind whatsoever, except: (A) as
stated in the Financial Statements or the Audited Financial Statements; (B) for
liens for taxes or assessments not yet due and payable or which are being
contested by the Company in good faith; (C) for minor liens imposed by law for
sums not yet due or which are being contested by the Company in good faith; and
(D) for imperfections of title, adverse claims, charges, restrictions,
limitations, encumbrances, liens or security interests that are minor and which
do not detract from the value of the Leased Real Property subject thereto or
which do not impair the operations of the Company or affect the present use of
the Leased Real Property. To the best knowledge of the Company and the
Management Stockholders, there is no condemnation or eminent domain proceeding
11
<PAGE>
pending or threatened against the Leased Real Property (or any part thereof).
The Company has not made any commitments or received any notice, oral or
written, from any public authority or other entity with respect to the taking
or use of the Leased Real Property (or any part thereof), whether temporarily
or permanently, for easements, rights of way or other public or quasi public
purposes or for any other purpose whatsoever nor, to the best knowledge of the
Company and the Management Stockholders, is there any proceeding pending or
threatened which could adversely affect the zoning classification relating to
such property or its use by the Company as of the date hereof. The assets

(D) for imperfections of title, adverse claims, charges, restrictions,
limitations, encumbrances, liens or security interests that are minor and which

subject thereto or which do not impair the operations of the Company in any
material respect or affect the present use of the assets in any material
respect. The Company has not made any commitments or received any notice, oral
or written, from any public authority or other entity with respect to the
taking or use of any of the Company's assets, whether temporarily or
permanently, for any purpose whatsoever, nor is there any proceeding pending
or, to the best knowledge of the Management Stockholders, threatened which
could adversely affect any asset owned or used by the Company as of the date
hereof.
(j) FIXED ASSETS; CONDITION OF ASSETS. To the best knowledge
of each of the Company and the Management Stockholders, the Real Property
Leases and all other documents and agreements pursuant to which the Company has
obtained the right to use or occupy any real property, personal property or
assets, are valid and enforceable in all respects in accordance with their
respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or
hereafter in effect, or by legal or equitable principles, relating to or
limiting creditors' rights generally and except that the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief are subject to
certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought. To the best knowledge of the Company and
the Management Stockholders, all permits and authorizations related to the
location or operation of the business of the Company are in good standing and
are valid and enforceable in all respects in accordance with their respective
terms. To the best knowledge of the Company and the Management Stockholders,
there is not, under any of the foregoing instruments, documents or agreements,
any existing material default, nor is there any event which, with notice or
lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, which could have a material
adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, earnings, prospects or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or materially adversely
affect its use of the Leased Real Property or the title to its assets. To the
best knowledge of each of the Company and Management Stockholders, the Company
is not in violation of and has complied with all applicable zoning, building or
other codes, statutes, regulations, ordinances, notices and orders of any
governmental authority with respect to the occupancy, use, maintenance,
condition, operation and improvement of the Leased Real Property or assets,
except where the failure to comply would not have a material adverse effect on
12
<PAGE>
the business, operations, earnings, prospects, assets or condition (financial
or otherwise) of the Company. To the best knowledge of each of the Company and
the Management Stockholders, the Company's use of any improvements for the
purposes for which any of the Leased Real Property or assets are being used as
of the date hereof does not violate any such code, statute, regulation,
ordinance, notice or order. To the best knowledge of each of the Company and
Management Stockholders, the Company possesses all licenses, certificates of
occupancy, permits and authorizations required to be obtained by the Company
with respect to the Company's operation and maintenance of the Leased Real
Property or assets for all uses for which such property is or assets are
operated or used by the Company as of the date hereof, except where the failure
to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations,
earnings, prospects, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company. All of the property or assets owned or leased by the Company is in
good operating condition and repair, subject to normal wear and use and each is
usable in a manner consistent with current use by the Company.

and complete list (including where applicable, the date of registration and the
serial or registration number) of all registered and unregistered trademarks,

secrets, registered and unregistered copyrights, and computer programs and
software (whether or not protected by patent, copyright or otherwise) which are
owned by, licensed by, used in or are material to the business of the Company
(the "Intellectual Property"). With respect to each of the foregoing items,

program or software, or any other intellectual property, nor, to the best
knowledge of the Company, has the Company misappropriated any of the foregoing
from any other person or entity or received from any other person or entity any
notice, charge, claim or other assertion with respect thereto.

reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect.

agreements and other instruments material to the business or operation of the
Company, including without limitation, those to which the Company is a party
and those by which any of its property or assets are bound. Other than the
materials heretofore delivered to Telscape and Newco, there is no contract or
agreement to which the Company or any Stockholder is a party or which affects
the assets, liabilities or outstanding securities of the Company, which is
material to the business or operation of the Company. None of the foregoing
agreements limit the freedom of the Company to compete in any line of business
or with any person or other entity in any geographic region within or outside
of the United States of America.
Neither the Company, the Management Stockholders, nor any third party, to
the best knowledge of the Company and the Management Stockholders, is in
material default and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time
or both, could cause or become a material default by the Company, any
Management Stockholder or any third party under any contract, agreement,
document or instrument to which the Company or any Management Stockholder is a
party which is material to the business or operations of the Company. Each
contract, agreement, document or instrument to which the Company or the
Management Stockholders is a party which is material to the business or
operations of the Company is enforceable, in accordance with its terms, against
all other parties thereto, except as such enforcement may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws now or hereafter in effect, or by legal or equitable principles, relating
to or limiting creditors' rights generally and except that the remedy of
specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief are
subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before
which any proceeding therefor may be brought.
(q) NON CONTRAVENTION; CONSENTS. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by each of the Company and the Management

material to the business or operation of the Company, pursuant to any provision
of any mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, permit, indenture, license,
instrument, law, order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which the
Company is a party or by which it or any of such property or assets are bound,
the effect of which violation, acceleration, creation or imposition could have
a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, earnings,
prospects (financial or otherwise) of the Company; (iii) violate or conflict
with any other restriction of any kind whatsoever to which the Company or the
Stockholders are subject or by which any of their properties or assets may be
bound, the effect of any of which violation or conflict could have a material

(financial or otherwise) of the Company; or (iv) constitute an event permitting
termination by a third party of any agreement to which either the Company or
the Management Stockholders are party or are subject, which termination could
have a materially adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, earnings,
prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company. To the best
knowledge of the Company and the Management Stockholders, no consent,
authorization, order or approval of, or filing or registration with, any

true, correct and complete list of all "employee benefit plans" as such term is
defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended ("ERISA") (the "Benefit Plans") covering the employees of the
Company (the "Employees"). Each Benefit Plan is in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable provisions of law, including ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). There are no pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company and the Management Stockholders, threatened
claims against any Benefit Plan (except for claims for benefits payable in the
normal operation of the Benefit Plans) that could give rise to any material
liability to the Company. All material reports, notices and returns required
to be filed with any governmental agency or provided to any person or entity
with respect to the Benefit Plans have been timely filed. The Company has
never had and does not now have any Benefit Plan that is an employee pension
plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) nor does the Company contribute to
any multiemployer pension or multiemployer welfare benefit plan (within the
meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA).
(s) LABOR RELATIONS. There are no agreements with or pending
petitions for recognition of any labor union or association as the exclusive
bargaining agent for any or all of the employees of the Company and no such
petition has been pending at any time during the two years prior to the date
hereof. There has not been any organizing effort by any union or other group
seeking to represent any employees of the Company as its exclusive bargaining
agent at any time during the two years prior to the date hereof. There are no
labor strikes, work stoppages or other labor disputes now pending or, to the
best knowledge of the Company or the Management Stockholders, threatened
against the Company, nor has there been any such labor strike, work stoppage or
17
<PAGE>
other labor dispute or grievance at any time during the two years prior to the
date hereof. Neither the Company nor the Management Stockholders has any
knowledge that any executive, key employee or any group of employees of the
Company has any plans to terminate his/her employment with the Company.
(t) INSURANCE. The Company has heretofore delivered to
Telscape and Newco true, correct and complete list of all insurance policies or
binders of insurance or programs of self insurance which relate to the business
of the Company. The coverage under each such policy and binder is in full
force and effect. Neither the Company nor the Management Stockholders has any
knowledge of nor has the Company or the Management Stockholders received any
notice of cancellation, termination, nonrenewal or disallowance of any claim
thereunder or with respect thereto. Neither the Company nor the Management
Stockholders has any knowledge of any facts or the occurrence of any events
which could form the basis of any claim against the Company relating to its
business, assets, properties or operations which could increase the insurance
premiums payable by the Company under such policy or binder in excess of normal
increases consistent with industry practices.
(u) TAX MATTERS. The Company is not a member of an affiliated
group, within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code (an "Affiliated Group").
The Company has filed when due and will file if and when due prior to the
Closing Date (after giving effect to any extensions granted by the requisite
legal or regulatory authority) all returns, reports, elections, estimates,
declarations, schedules, forms and other documents ("Tax Returns") relating to
taxes required to be filed by the Code or by any applicable federal, state,
county, municipal, local, foreign or other laws, including, without limitation,
consolidated, combined or unitary returns, for any taxable period ending prior
to or on the Closing Date (the "Pre Closing Tax Period"). The taxable year of
the Company for federal and state income and business tax purposes currently
ends on February ___ of each year. All taxes shown on any Tax Return required
to be filed with respect to the Company for any Pre Closing Tax Period have
been, or will have been, paid or accrued prior to the Closing. The Company has
fully accrued on its books all taxes for any periods which are not yet due. No
tax liens have been filed, and no material claims have been or are being
asserted or proposed, against the Company with respect to any taxes. No Tax
Returns of the Company have been audited in the past five years by any taxing
authority, no deficiencies or claims have been proposed, assessed or claimed
(including interest and penalties) against the Company which have not been paid
or accrued, and the Company has not waived or extended any statute of
limitations with respect to the assessment of any taxes, which waiver or
extension has not yet expired by its terms. There are no suits, actions,
proceedings, claims or investigations now pending against the Company with
respect to any taxes. The Company has withheld or collected from each payment
made to each of its employees, consultants, contractors and other payees the
amount of all taxes (including, but not limited to, federal income taxes, state
and local income and wage taxes, payroll taxes, workers' compensation and
unemployment taxes) required to be withheld or collected therefrom for all Pre
Closing Tax Periods and the Company has timely paid or accrued and reported the
same in respect of its employees, consultants, contractors and other payees to
the proper tax receiving offices. The Company does not have any liability for
any taxes of any nature whatsoever other than as shown on the Balance Sheet
(except for liabilities for taxes accruing after the date of such balance sheet
in the ordinary course of business) and neither the Management Stockholders nor
18
<PAGE>
the Company is aware of any basis for any additional liabilities for taxes for
any Pre Closing Tax Period. The reserve for accrued but unpaid taxes for the
period ending June 30, 1996 includes adequate provision for all taxes which
have been assessed or which will be due and payable by the Company for all Pre
Closing Tax Periods. The Company does not file any state or local tax returns
on a unitary or combined basis with any other member of an Affiliated Group.
To the extent that any Management Stockholder may incur tax liability in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, such Management
Stockholder, and not the Company, will be responsible for fulfilling any
obligations or liabilities with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, no Stockholder will be responsible for fulfilling any
obligation or liability with respect to tax liability incurred in connection
with or resulting from an election or action taken by Telscape or Newco on or
after the Closing Date.
The term "taxes" or "tax" as used in this section or referred to elsewhere
in this Agreement shall mean all taxes, charges, fees, levies, penalties, or
other assessments, including without limitation, income, capital gain, profit,
gross receipts, ad valorem, excise, property, payroll, withholding, employment,
severance, social security, workers' compensation, occupation, premium, customs
duties, windfall profits, sales, use, and franchise taxes, imposed by the
United States, or any state, county, local or foreign government or any
subdivision or agency thereof, and including any interest, penalties, or
additions attributable thereto.
(v) COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. The Company has been and
is in compliance with all foreign, federal, state and local laws, statutes,
ordinances, rules and regulations, except where the failure to comply with
which would not materially adversely affect the business, assets, operations,
earnings, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or
which would subject any officer or director of the Company to civil or criminal
penalties or imprisonment. The Company has complied with the rules and
regulations of all governmental agencies having authority over its business or
its operations, including without limitation, agencies concerned with intra
state and interstate commerce, occupational safety and employment practices,
except where the failure to comply would not have a material adverse effect on
the business, operations, earnings, prospects, assets or condition (financial
or otherwise) of the Company. None of the Company nor any of the Management
Stockholders has any knowledge of or received any notice of violation of any
such rule or regulation during the two years prior to the date hereof which
could result in any liability of the Company for penalties or damages or which
could subject the Company to any injunction or government writ, order or
decree. To the best knowledge of each of the Company and the Management
Stockholders, there are no facts, events or conditions that could interfere
with, prevent continued compliance with or give rise to any liability under any
foreign, federal, state or local governmental laws, statutes, ordinances or
regulations applicable to the business, assets, operations, earnings, prospects
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, except where the failure
to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations,
earnings, prospects, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company.
(w) LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company or the
Management Stockholders, threatened, which could restrict the Company or the
Management Stockholders' ability to perform his respective obligations
hereunder or could have a material adverse effect on the business, assets,
19
<PAGE>
operations, earnings, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company. To the best knowledge of the Company and the Management Stockholders,
there are no grounds for or facts, events or circumstances which could form the
basis of any such action that could cause or result in any such action, suit,
proceeding or investigation or which is probable of assertion. Neither the
Company nor the Management Stockholders is in default in respect of any
judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or any federal, state,
local or other governmental agency, authority, body, board, bureau, commission,
department or instrumentality which could have a material adverse effect on the

otherwise) of the Company.
(x) PERMITS. The Company holds all permits, licenses, orders
and approvals of all federal, state or local governmental or regulatory
authorities, agencies or bodies required for the conduct and operation of the
Company's business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so

prospects, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company. All
such permits, licenses, orders, and approvals are in full force and effect and
no suspension, termination or revocation of any of the foregoing is, to the
best knowledge of the Company and the Management Stockholders, threatened.
None of such permits, licenses, orders or approvals will be materially
adversely affected by consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The Company has complied with the rules and regulations of all

supervise or are in any manner concerned with import and export licenses,
occupational safety and employment practices relating to the Company's
business, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse
effect on the business, operations, earnings, prospects, assets or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company. The Company has no knowledge of nor
has it received any notice of violation of any of such rules or regulations
during the two years prior to the date hereof which would result in any
liability of the Company for penalties or damages or which would subject the
Company to any injunction or governmental writ, order or decree.
