ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another enterprise if serving at the request of the corporation. Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the court shall deem proper. Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify all directors, officers, employees and agents of the company. The Certificate of Incorporation also contains a provision eliminating the liability of directors of the Registrant to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damage, except under certain circumstances. The Certificate of Incorporation also permits the Registrant to maintain insurance to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent against any liability with respect to which the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such persons under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant maintains an insurance policy insuring its directors and officers against certain liabilities. II-1 ITEM 16.

The registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where appropriate, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. II-2 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement or amendment thereto to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New Hartford, New York on June 3, 1996.

EX-1.1 2 UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT Proof of May 23, 1996 PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION COMMON STOCK ($0.02 Par Value) UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT ____________, 1996 UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT ____________, 1996 Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. 535 Madison Avenue New York, New York 10022 The Robinson-Humphrey Company, Inc. 3333 Peachtree Road, N.E. Tenth Floor, South Tower Atlanta, Georgia 30326 Volpe, Welty & Company One Maritime Plaza, 11th Floor San Francisco, CA 94111 as Managing Underwriters Dear Sirs: PAR Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to sell, and the persons named in Schedule B (the "Selling Stockholders") propose to sell, to the underwriters named in Schedule A (the "Underwriters") an aggregate of 2,825,000 shares (the "Firm Shares") of Common Stock, par value $0.02 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company, of which 1,450,000 shares are to be sold by the Company and an aggregate of 1,375,000 shares are to be sold by the Selling Stockholders in the respective amounts set forth opposite their names in Schedule B. In addition, solely for the purpose of covering overallotments, the Selling Stockholders indicated on Schedule B propose to sell, at the Underwriters' option, up to 423,750 additional shares of the Common Stock (the "Additional Shares"). The Additional Shares and the Firm Shares are collectively referred to as the "Shares." The Shares are described in the Prospectus which is referred to below. The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the "Act"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement on Form S-2, including a prospectus, relating to the Shares, which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the "Exchange Act"). The Company has furnished to you, for use by the Underwriters and by dealers, copies of one or more preliminary prospectuses and all documents incorporated by reference therein (collectively, the "Preliminary Prospectus") relating to the Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, the registration statement as in effect at the time of execution of this Agreement or, if the registration statement is not yet effective, as amended when it becomes effective, including all documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated by 2 reference therein, and including any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act increasing the size of the offering registered under the Act and any information contained in a prospectus subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act and deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act, is herein called the "Registration Statement", and the prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, in the form filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act or, if no such filing is required, in the form of final prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it became effective, is herein called the "Prospectus". The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree as follows: 1. Sale and Purchase. On the basis of the representations and ----------------- warranties and the other terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company and each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agree to sell to the respective Underwriters and each of the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company and each Selling Stockholder the respective number of Firm Shares (subject to such adjustment as you may determine to avoid fractional shares) which bears the same proportion to the number of Firm Shares to be sold by the Company or by that Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule A bears to the total number of Firm Shares to be sold by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, in each case at a purchase price of $____ per Share. You may release the Firm Shares for public sale promptly after this Agreement becomes effective. You may from time to time increase or decrease the public offering price after the initial public offering to such extent as you may determine. In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties and the other terms and conditions herein set forth, the Selling Stockholders indicated on Schedule B hereto hereby grant to the several Underwriters an option to purchase, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, from such Selling Stockholders, all or a portion of the Additional Shares as may be necessary to cover overallotments made in connection with the offering of the Firm Shares, at the same purchase price per share to be paid by the several Underwriters to the Company and the Selling Stockholders for the Firm Shares. This option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or before the thirtieth day following the date hereof, by written notice to the Company and the Attorney-in-Fact for the Selling Stockholders referred to in Section 4(d) (the "Attorney-in-Fact"). Any such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional Shares as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the Additional Shares are to be delivered (any such date and time being herein referred to as an "additional time of purchase"); provided, however, that no additional time of purchase shall occur earlier than the time of purchase (as defined below) nor earlier than the second business day* after the date on which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the eighth business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. The number of Additional Shares to be sold to each Underwriter at an additional time of purchase shall be the number which bears the same proportion to the aggregate number of Additional Shares being purchased at such additional time of purchase as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule A bears to the total number of Firm Shares (subject, in each case, to such adjustment as you may determine to eliminate fractional shares). - ------------------------- * As used herein, "business day" shall mean a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. 3 2. Payment and Delivery. Payment of the purchase price for the Firm -------------------- Shares shall be made to the Company and to the Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of the Selling Stockholders by certified or official bank checks, in New York Clearing House funds, at the office of Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. in New York City, against delivery of the certificates for the Firm Shares to you for the respective accounts of the Underwriters. Such payment and delivery shall be made at 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on ____________, 1996 (unless another time shall be agreed to by you, the Company and the Selling Stockholders or unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10). The time at which such payment and delivery are actually made is called the "time of purchase." Certificates for the Firm Shares shall be delivered to you in definitive form in such names and in such denominations as you shall specify on the second business day preceding the time of purchase. For the purpose of expediting the checking of the certificates for the Firm Shares by you, the Company and the Selling Stockholders agree to make such certificates available to you for such purpose at least one full business day preceding the time of purchase. Payment of the purchase price for the Additional Shares shall be made at the additional time of purchase in the same manner and at the same office as the payment for the Firm Shares. Certificates for the Additional Shares shall be delivered to you in definitive form in such names and in such denominations as you shall specify on the second business day preceding the additional time of purchase. For the purpose of expediting the checking of the certificates for the Additional Shares by you, the Company and the Selling Stockholders agree to make such certificates available to you for such purpose at least one full business day preceding the additional time of purchase. 3.

(the "NASD") and any necessary qualification under the securities or blue sky laws of the various jurisdictions in which the Shares are being offered by the Underwriters. 6 (l) No person has the right, contractual or otherwise, to cause the Company to issue to it, or to register pursuant to the Act, any securities of the Company in consequence of the issue and sale of the Shares to the Underwriters hereunder, nor does any person have preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase any of the Shares. (m) Price Waterhouse LLP, whose reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Subsidiaries are included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, are independent public accountants with respect to the Company as required by the Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder. (n) All legal or governmental proceedings, contracts or documents of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement have been so described or filed as required. (o) There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their properties, at law or in equity, or before or by any federal, state, local or foreign governmental or regulatory commission, board, body, authority or agency that could reasonably be expected to result in a judgment, decree or order having a material adverse effect on the properties, assets, operations, business, business prospects or condition (financial or other) of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole. (p) The audited and unaudited financial statements included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company and the Subsidiaries for the periods specified; and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved.

(r) The Company has obtained the agreement of all of the stockholders listed on Schedule C, constituting all of the executive officers and directors of the Company that are not Selling Stockholders, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or warrants or other rights to purchase Common 7 Stock for a period of 90 days from the date of the Prospectus without the prior written consent of Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. (s) Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has violated any foreign, federal, state or local law or regulation relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants ("Environmental Laws"), nor any federal or state law relating to discrimination in the hiring, promotion or pay of employees nor any applicable federal or state wages and hours laws, nor any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, which could reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse effect on the properties, assets, operations, business, business prospects or condition (financial or other) of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries. (t) The Company and the Subsidiaries have such permits, licenses, franchises and authorizations of governmental or regulatory authorities ("permits"), including without limitation under any applicable regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration, as are necessary to own, lease and operate their respective properties and to conduct their businesses; the Company and the Subsidiaries have fulfilled and performed all of their material obligations with respect to such permits and, to the knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such permit; and, except as described in the Prospectus, such permits contain no restrictions that are materially burdensome to the Company or the Subsidiaries. (u) In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts such review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of each of the Company and the Subsidiaries as is reasonable under the circumstances.

Such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in such amount or amounts as you may designate with the consent of each Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by all non- defaulting Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule A. (d) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Firm Shares to be purchased by it hereunder and if the number of Firm Shares which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for exceeds 10% of the total number of Firm Shares, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter. (e) Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting Underwriters that it will not sell any Firm Shares hereunder unless all of the Firm Shares are purchased by the Underwriters (or by substituted underwriters selected by you with the approval of the Company or selected by the Company with your approval pursuant to Section 9(d)). If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted for a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in accordance with Section 9(d), the Company or you shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any necessary change in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and other documents may be effected. The term Underwriter as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 9 with like effect as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in Schedule A. (f) If the purchase of the Shares by the Underwriters, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not consummated for any reason permitted under this Agreement or if such purchase is not consummated because the Company or the Selling Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company or the Selling Stockholders, as the case may be, shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 5(l), 7 and 10), and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 10). 10. Indemnity by the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the ------------------------------------- -------------------- Underwriters. - ------------ (a) The Company and each of the Selling Stockholders, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person that controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each Underwriter's agents, employees, officers and directors and the agents, employees, officers and directors of any such controlling person (collectively, the "Underwriter indemnified parties") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and other expenses in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such action or claim) which, jointly or severally, any Underwriter indemnified party may incur as they are incurred (and regardless of whether such Underwriter indemnified party 21 is a party to the litigation, if any) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement relating to the Shares or the Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities or expenses arise out of, or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon and in conformity with information with respect to any Underwriter furnished in writing by any Underwriter through you to the Company expressly for use therein with reference to such Underwriter. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability the Company or the Selling Stockholders otherwise may have. (b) If any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any Underwriter indemnified party, with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company or a Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Section 10, such Underwriter indemnified party shall promptly notify the Company and each Selling Stockholder in writing, and the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriter indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided that the omission so to notify the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not relieve them from any liability that they may have to any Underwriter indemnified party. An Underwriter indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and to assume the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company or the Selling Stockholders, (ii) the Company and the Selling Stockholders have failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel satisfactory to the Underwriter indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Underwriter indemnified party and the Company or the Selling Stockholders and such Underwriter indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and the Selling Stockholders (in which case the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Underwriter indemnified party), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company and the Selling Stockholders and reimbursed as they are incurred. It is understood, however, that the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Underwriter indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without the written consent of the Company or the Selling Stockholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the written consent of the Company or the Selling Stockholders, or if there is a final judgment with respect thereto, the Company and the Selling Stockholders agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. 22 (c) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement, and any person that controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Company indemnified parties") and each Selling Stockholder to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter indemnified parties, but only with respect to information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Company expressly for use with respect to such Underwriter in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus. In case any action shall be brought against any Company indemnified party or any Selling Stockholder based on the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to this Section 10(c), such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company and the Selling Stockholders by Section 10(b) (except that if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have assumed the defense thereof such Underwriter shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter), and the Company indemnified parties and the Selling Stockholders shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriter indemnified parties by Section 10(b). (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless any Underwriter indemnified party or any Company indemnified party or any Selling Stockholder, then the party required to indemnify such indemnified party under this Section 10, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, by the Selling Stockholders or by the Underwriters, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any claim or action. 23 The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 10(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(d), no Underwriter indemnified party shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by such Underwriter indemnified party and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter indemnified party otherwise has been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and are not joint. The statements under the caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus (to the extent such statements relate to an Underwriter) and in the stabilization language in the inside front cover of the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus. (e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 10 and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Selling Stockholders contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter indemnified party or by or on behalf of any Company indemnified party or any Selling Stockholder, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 10(b) and Section 10(c), the Company, each Selling Stockholder and each Underwriter agree promptly to notify the other of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares or in connection with the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. 11.

Except as otherwise herein provided, all ------- statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing or by telegram and, if to the Underwriters, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to Dillon, Read & Co.
