ARTICLE 3. MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OF SHARES Section 3.1 Conversion of Shares. (a) The manner and basis of converting the issued and outstanding shares of T-3 Common Stock into shares of IHI Common Stock shall be as hereinafter set forth in this Section 3.1. (b) At the Effective Time, each share of T-3 Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by a holder that properly exercises dissenters' rights in strict compliance with the DGCL), without any action on the part of the holder thereof, shall automatically become and be converted into (i) the right to receive certificates evidencing a number of shares of IHI Common Stock equal to the Exchange Factor plus (ii) 3.9074 Merger Warrants upon surrender, in accordance with Subsection 3.1(c) hereof, of certificates theretofore evidencing shares of T-3 Common Stock. Section 3.1 of the T-3 Disclosure Schedules lists all T-3 Stockholders and the number of shares of T-3 Common Stock owned by each such stockholder as of the date hereof (including shares issuable upon conversion of debt held by the Fund). (c) Commencing on the Effective Date, each holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates theretofore representing shares of T-3 Common Stock may surrender the same to an exchange agent designated by IHI, and such holder shall be entitled upon such surrender to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole IHI Shares into which the shares of T-3 Common Stock theretofore represented by the certificate or certificates so surrendered shall have been converted. However, before surrender, each outstanding certificate representing issued and outstanding T-3 Common Stock shall be deemed, for all purposes, only to evidence ownership of the number of whole Merger Shares into which such shares have been so converted. Unless and until such outstanding certificates formerly representing T-3 Common Stock are so surrendered, no dividend payable to holders of record of IHI Common Stock as of any date after the Effective Date shall be paid to the holders of such outstanding certificates. Upon surrender of such outstanding certificates, however, there shall be paid to the holders of the certificates of Merger Shares the amount of dividends, if any, which theretofore (but after the Effective Date) became payable with respect to such full Merger Shares. No interest shall be payable with respect to the payment of such dividends on surrender of outstanding certificates. The holder of fractional share interests, as such, shall not be entitled to any dividends or to any distribution in the event of liquidation or to any voting or other privileges of a stockholder of IHI. (d) No certificates for fractional share interests of IHI Common Stock will be issued, but, in lieu thereof, IHI will settle all such fractional share interests in cash on the basis of the closing price for IHI Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the last trading day before the Effective Date. (e) Upon the Effective Date, the stock transfer books of T-3 shall be deemed closed, and no transfer of any certificates theretofore representing shares of T-3 shall thereafter be made or consummated. (f) The assets and liabilities of IHI and T-3 shall be taken up on the books of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with GAAP, and the capital surplus and retained earnings accounts of the Surviving Corporation shall be determined, in accordance with GAAP, by the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation. Nothing herein shall prevent the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation from making any future changes in its accounts in accordance with law. (g) Subject to any contrary provision of Applicable Law, all consideration deposited with the exchange agent or held by IHI for the payment of the consideration into which the outstanding shares of T-3 Common Stock shall have been converted, and remaining unclaimed for one year after the Effective Date, shall be paid or delivered to the Surviving Corporation; and the holder of any unexchanged certificate or certificates which before the Effective Date represented shares of T-3 Common Stock shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for exchange or payment thereof upon surrender of such certificate or certificates to Surviving Corporation. 6 Page 21 of 65 (h) IHI agrees that, if the merger contemplated hereby becomes effective, it will promptly pay to any dissenting stockholder of T-3 the amount, if any, to which such holder is entitled under the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, provided such dissenter acts in strict compliance with such provisions. (i) Each share of IHI Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain one validly issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time. Section 3.2 Treatment of T-3 Stock Options. On the Effective Date, each of the then outstanding options to purchase T-3 Common Stock (collectively, the "T-3 Options") (which includes all outstanding options granted under T-3's stock option plans (the "T-3 Option Plans")) will and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof (herein, an "optionholder"), be converted into an option to purchase that number of shares of IHI Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of T-3 Common Stock subject to such T-3 Option at the Effective Date by the Exchange Factor (as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof), at an exercise price per share of IHI Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of such T-3 Option divided by the Exchange Factor. If the foregoing calculation results in an exchanged T-3 Option being exercisable for a fraction of a share of IHI Common Stock, then the number of shares of IHI Common Stock subject to such option will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, and the total exercise price for the option will be reduced by the exercise price of the fractional share. The term, exercisability, vesting schedule, and all other terms and conditions of the T-3 Options will otherwise be unchanged by the provisions of this Section 3.2 and shall operate in accordance with their terms. All shares of IHI Common Stock issued upon exercise of the exchanged T-3 Options shall be registered under an effective Form S-8 Registration Statement (or other comparable form) filed with the SEC.

(c) In addition to the obligations set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.13, each party promptly shall advise the others orally and in writing of any request for information or of any proposed Sale Transaction or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to lead to any proposed Sale Transaction, the identity of the Person making any such request, proposed Sale Transaction or inquiry and the terms and conditions thereof.

Each party shall promptly advise the other party orally and in writing of any change or event having or which insofar as reasonably can be foreseen would have, a Material Adverse Effect on the party providing such notification. Section 6.15 Maintenance of Policies. IHI and T-3 shall maintain the coverage under the IHI Policies and the T-3 Policies respectively, in full force and effect until the Closing Date. Section 6.16 Director's and Officer's Indemnification and Insurance.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall pay the insurance premiums required for any extension of T-3's and IHI's officers' and directors' liability insurance policies that are in force at the date hereof following the Closing Date for a "discovery" period elected under such insurance policy covering the officers and directors of T-3 (the "Extended Coverage Policy") for a period of four years or shall provide substantially similar coverage for the same period under IHI's directors' and officers' insurance policy for all directors and officers of T-3 and IHI.

Section 6.18 IHI Employee Benefits. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, employees of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans of the Surviving Corporation, which shall be the employee benefit plans maintained by T-3 as of the Effective Time, including without limitation, the T-3 401(k) plan, in respect of their service after the Effective Time to the same extent that employees of T-3 or IHI who are employed in comparable positions are entitled to participate. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law as determined by legal counsel for the Surviving Corporation, the 401(k) plan maintained by IHI as of the Effective Time shall be merged into the 401(k) plan maintained by T-3, with the T-3 401(k) plan being the surviving plan. IHI and T-3 further agree that any such employees shall be credited for their service with IHI, T-3 and their Subsidiaries, as the case may be, for purposes of eligibility, benefit entitlement and vesting in the employee benefit plans provided by the Surviving Corporation, but not for purposes of any executive compensation plan or program. No benefits of any employee under the Surviving Corporation's medical benefit plan shall be subject to any exclusions for any pre-existing conditions (to the extent such exclusions did not apply under to such employee under IHI's, T-3's or their Subsidiaries' existing medical benefit plan, as applicable), and credit shall be received for any deductibles or out-of-pocket amounts previously paid during the year. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit in any way the right of the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any employee benefit plan or other benefit program at any time in its discretion. Section 6.19 Agreements with Respect to IHI Dispositions. (a) IHI and/or one or more of its Affiliates shall have entered into definitive agreements (the "Disposition Agreements") with respect to each of the IHI Dispositions not later than November 15, 2001. The IHI Dispositions are set forth on Schedule 6.19 of the IHI Disclosure Schedules. (b) The Disposition Agreements may take the form of a merger, sale of stock or sale of assets or such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to T-3 and IHI. No Disposition Agreement shall be entered into without the written consent of T-3, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; however, T-3 shall have no obligation to consent unless the Disposition Agreements provide for an aggregate Net Proceeds of at least $33.3 million, of which not greater than $6.1 million shall be represented by seller financing or other deferred payment obligations to IHI or its Subsidiaries with respect to non-competition agreements, consulting arrangements, earnout payments or other similar arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, T-3 has consented to two of the Disposition Agreements as indicated in Section 6.19 of the IHI Disclosure Schedules.
