terms via a two-way satellite-based network, together with the related assets,
licenses, rights, management, employees experience and know-how (such business,

know-how, shall be referred to herein as the "Business") in South America ,
Central America, Mexico and non-U.S. territories or protectorates in the
Caribbean (the "Territory"), directly and/or indirectly through its

         WHEREAS, Gilat, directly and through its affiliates, including without

StarBand and Gilat, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Scope of Agreement.

         (a)      Exclusivity/Non-Compete. Gilat agrees that StarBand, directly
                  and/or indirectly through its subsidiaries, has exclusive
                  rights to sell and offer the Gilat Products & Services (as
                  defined hereinafter) in connection with the Business in the

<PAGE>   4
Note: Information in this document marked with "[*]" has been omitted and filed
separately with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential
treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

                  foregoing, the parties agree that StarBand does not have such
                  rights in Chile, and its rights in Mexico are co-exclusive
                  with the rights granted to StarBand Communications Inc. The
                  rights granted herein shall in each case be subject to the
                  terms of the non-compete provisions set forth in Attachment C
                  hereto. Subject to the foregoing exceptions, Gilat agrees not
                  to directly or indirectly appoint another entity to provide,
                  or itself provide, the Gilat Products & Services, or operate
                  the Business in the Territory.

                  Gilat undertakes to use its best commercial efforts to
                  maintain price and technological competitiveness of the Gilat
                  Products & Services and the other products and services to be
                  provided by Gilat hereunder for use by the Business in the
                  Territory.

                  So long as the Gilat Products & Services remain competitive
                  with respect to their pricing and technological
                  competitiveness and Gilat meets its delivery and support
                  obligations, StarBand undertakes to purchase the Gilat
                  Products & Services and any equipment and services performing
                  similar functionality in the future, solely from Gilat.

         (b)      Products and Services to be provided by Gilat. Gilat, directly
                  or through GTHLA, GTHLA Holland or other of its affiliates (in
                  this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise, any
                  reference to Gilat shall mean Gilat or any of GTHLA, GTHLA
                  Holland or Gilat's other affiliates, as directed by Gilat),
                  will provide StarBand with telecommunications equipment
                  ("Equipment") and licensed software ("Software") (together
                  referred to as the "Gilat Products & Services") for use at
                  StarBand designated consumer, SOHO, SME and public call
                  offices locations (each such location herein defined as a
                  "Site"). Gilat shall also provide to StarBand all new products
                  and technological developments to the extent related to the
                  Business as such products and technology are provided to
                  StarBand Communications Inc. The parties will also, from time
                  to time, upon mutual agreement, add technical specifications
                  to Attachment A regarding the Gilat Products & Services. The
                  parties agree that any support, bug fixes and updates to the
                  Gilat Products & Services shall be provided to StarBand
                  without any charge and at the same time as they are provided
                  to other Gilat customers. The parties further agree that the
                  price paid by StarBand for upgrades to the Gilat Products &
                  Services shall be determined in the following manner: (i) if
                  the upgrades relate to the Gilat Products and Services
                  provided by Gilat to any other customer, then the Most Favored
                  Nations provision of this Agreement shall apply, or (ii)
                  otherwise, the upgrades shall be available at a fair price
                  based upon good faith negotiations of the parties and
                  competitive pricing.

         (c)      IT provided by Gilat to StarBand. To facilitate StarBand's
                  transition to its own systems and processes, Gilat will
                  provide to StarBand to the extent indicated herein, certain
                  Information Technology (IT), and such other services as agreed
                  by

                                  CONFIDENTIAL

3.       Software License and Support/Intellectual Property.

         (a)      "Software" means any computer program, including any
                  modifications, updates, or additions, which may be included in

                  executable form in any medium, and related materials such as
                  diagrams, manuals and other documentation which are for use
                  with the Equipment provided to StarBand under this Agreement.

         (b)      Subject to the provisions of Attachment C, Gilat hereby grants
                  to StarBand (including a right to sublicense to its customers,

                  non-exclusive license to use or have used the Software
                  residing in Gilat-provided Equipment, but only for the purpose
                  of causing such Equipment to operate for the provision of
                  two-way transmission services and not otherwise. StarBand
                  shall not itself and will use its best commercial efforts to
                  not

                                  CONFIDENTIAL

                  permit any third party to gain access to the Software or
                  transfer the Software to any third party, copy or permit to
                  have copied the Software, reverse engineer, disassemble,
                  de-compile, or transmit the Software in any form or by any
                  means. Software is and shall remain the exclusive property of
                  Gilat or Gilat's vendors. No license other than that
                  specifically stated herein is granted to StarBand, and
                  StarBand shall have no right under patent, trademark,
                  copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property of
                  Gilat or Gilat's vendors other than that granted herein.

                  paid, the Software license and maintenance for the applicable

                  available by Gilat generally to correct errors or improve the
                  efficiency and effectiveness of the then current Software,
                  without adding new functions to the then current Software so
                  that Gilat's software operates properly on the Gilat-provided
                  Equipment in accordance with the specifications therefor.

         (d)      Except as set forth in Section 15 all intellectual property

                  and/or Transition Services, including but not limited to
                  patents and other know-how and copyright, both registered and
                  unregistered, owned and/or otherwise used by Gilat and all
                  goodwill related thereto (collectively the "IP Rights") are
                  and shall remain at all times the exclusive property of Gilat
                  or, as the case may be, its affiliates and/or vendors and/or
                  licensors. StarBand shall not have or acquire any right, title
                  or interest in or otherwise become entitled to any IP Rights
                  by taking delivery of, making payment for, distributing and/or
                  selling or otherwise using or transferring the Equipment,
                  Software or Transition Services, other than such rights
                  granted in this Agreement.

4.       Most Favored Nations.

         Gilat shall provide at all times, and from time to time, all Gilat
         Products & Services or other products and services contemplated hereby
         to operate the Business on rates and terms no less favorable than the
         best terms offered on the Gilat Products & Services offered hereunder
         to other customers wherever situated. For these purposes, the Most
         Favored Nation concept refers to prices no higher than those charged by
         Gilat (as the case may be) for comparable products and services sold in
         comparable quantities on comparable terms and conditions including, but
         not limited to, subsidy, support or other related payment, made to
         other customers in bona fide offers or sales. Gilat's obligations
         hereunder shall apply to all commercial terms including without
         limitation warranties, costs of software upgrades, new products, terms
         and timing of shipping and delivery. If there is no similarly situated
         customer as described above, the parties shall

                                  CONFIDENTIAL

         provide such products on commercially reasonable terms in the context
         of the transactions contemplated hereunder negotiated in good faith on
         an arm's-length basis.

         Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, beginning [*], in no event
         shall the prices charged hereunder by Gilat for any Gilat Products &
         Services or other products and services contemplated to be provided by
         Gilat to StarBand hereunder, irrespective of any quantity or subsidy,
         support or other terms, exceed [*] of the price charged by Gilat to any
         other customer in the consumer market, where ever located.

         The parties agree that in case any other provisions of this Agreement
         conflicts with the terms of this section, the terms of this section
         shall control.

5.       Transition Services.

         (a)      Attachment B describes the Transition Services to be provided
                  under this Agreement, including, without limitation, name of
                  service, pricing, and scope of service.

         (b)      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or unless
                  otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms detailed in
                  Attachment B, Gilat shall provide or cause to be provided each
                  of the Transition Services beginning on the Effective Date or
                  the date indicated in Attachment B and continuing through to
                  the expiration of the Transition Services Term, as such term
                  is defined in Section 7(b) below, unless otherwise terminated
                  pursuant to the terms detailed in Attachment B.

         (c)      StarBand may request Gilat to provide additional or modified
                  Transition Services that are not described in Attachment B.
                  Gilat will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate
                  any reasonable requests by StarBand to provide additional or
                  modified Transition Services. In order to initiate a request
                  for additional or modified Transition Services, StarBand shall
                  submit a request in writing to Gilat specifying the nature of
                  the additional or modified Transition Services and requesting
                  a cost estimate and time frame for completion. Gilat shall
                  respond within ten (10) days to such written request. Only if
                  StarBand accepts Gilat's offer to provide the additional or
                  modified Transition Services, will such additional or modified
                  Transition Services be provided hereunder and according to the
                  terms agreed to by the parties in writing.

6.       Transitional Cooperation.

         (a)      StarBand and Gilat will cooperate to assure an orderly and
                  efficient Transition. Each party shall make available, as
                  reasonably requested by the other party, sufficient resources
                  and timely decisions, approvals and acceptances, in order that
                  each party may perform its obligations under this Agreement in
                  a timely and efficient manner.

                                  CONFIDENTIAL

separately with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential
treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

         (b)      If the provision of a Transition Service in whole or in part
                  requires the consent of a third party to the assignment of any
                  license or other agreement, Gilat shall use best commercial
                  efforts to obtain such consent. If Gilat is unable to obtain
                  any such consent after using best commercial efforts, then the
                  parties will agree upon a commercially reasonable alternative
                  that next best approximates such Transition Service on a basis
                  consistent with Attachment B.

         (c)      If requested by StarBand in connection with the Transition,
                  Gilat shall use best commercial efforts to assist StarBand in
                  its efforts to enter into a license or other agreement with
                  any third party with whom Gilat and any of their affiliates
                  have a commercial relationship.

         (d)      Each party shall appoint a person for the purpose of
                  coordinating the Transition and the provision of the

                  commence at the Effective Date and shall terminate five (5)
                  years thereafter (the "Term"), and shall automatically renew
                  for additional five (5) year terms. Without limiting Gilat's
                  obligations under the Most Favored Nations provisions of

                  Gilat Products & Services hereunder shall be renegotiated in
                  good faith between the parties every two years, and such
                  renegotiated pricing provisions shall be attached hereto and
                  become a part hereof. If the parties fail to agree to new
                  prices, then the current prices will, subject to the most
                  favored nation provision hereof, remain in effect until the
                  parties reach agreement on new pricing.

         (b)      The Transition Services described in Attachment B shall be
                  provided by Gilat, as long as requested by StarBand at terms
                  provided for in this Agreement or as negotiated from time to

                  non-conforming product on which StarBand has already made

                  relating to charges or costs imposed by governmental or
                  quasi-governmental entities or other unaffiliated third
                  parties, all of which shall be borne and paid by StarBand.
                  StarBand and Gilat, as appropriate, each agree to provide the
                  others with a duly authorized tax exemption certificate, if
                  applicable. Taxes based on each party's net income shall be
                  the sole responsibility of such party. Gilat shall be

                  violate or in any manner contravene or breach any patent,

                  as to the determination of the century).

         (f)      Product Warranty

                  (i)      During the Warranty Period, the Equipment and
                           Software shall be in compliance in all material
                           respects with the then applicable (i.e., time of
                           order) technical performance specifications, and
                           shall be free from defects in workmanship and
                           materials. "Warranty Period" means: (A) for the hub
                           and server Equipment and all Equipment and Software
                           delivered therewith and installed in accordance with
                           the provisions hereof, from the time of delivery to
                           StarBand and for a period of twelve (12) months from
                           the later of the purchase or the date of
                           commissioning of such hub and server Equipment; (B)

                           services, for the period during which StarBand
                           purchases such optional hub operations services from
                           Gilat; and (C) for all other Equipment and Software,
                           from the time of installation and for a period of
                           twelve (12) months thereafter. Notwithstanding the
                           foregoing and without limiting any other obligations
                           of Gilat hereunder, Gilat does not warrant that the
                           Software will be error free or uninterrupted in its
                           use or operation.

                           Thereafter, StarBand may purchase at its option an
                           extended full warranty at an annual cost equal to [*]
                           of the purchase price for all Equipment subject to
                           such extended warranty. Under this product warranty,
                           Gilat will be responsible for the cost of any
                           replacement parts and associated labor, overhead and
                           related expenses. After the above product warranty
                           periods have elapsed, Gilat will sell replacement
                           parts to StarBand for a period of seven (7) years
                           from StarBand's last purchase of particular products
                           at prices equal to the then current USB box price,
                           multiplied by [*] for the ODU, [*] for the USB Indoor
                           Unit, [*] for the LNBs, and [*] for the antenna/mount
                           system. Gilat reserves the right to provide notice
                           that a particular part will be discontinued and to
                           establish a time limit for all future orders of such
                           part.

                  (ii)     A)       Under this product warranty, Gilat shall, at
                                    its sole option and expense, repair or
                                    replace any Equipment and/or Software found
                                    to be defective during the Warranty Period
                                    and returned to Gilat's premises at
                                    StarBand's expense. Return of the repaired
                                    or replaced Equipment or Software to
                                    StarBand's or its affiliates' original
                                    destination shall be at the expense of
                                    Gilat, unless Gilat determines that the
                                    Equipment and/or Software is not defective
                                    within the terms of the warranty, in which
                                    event StarBand shall pay Gilat all costs of
                                    handling, transportation and labor at
                                    Gilat's then prevailing rates.

                           B)       Under this product warranty, for Software,
                                    if an error in the Software precludes the
                                    Equipment from being in material compliance
                                    with the then applicable specifications,
                                    Gilat will use its commercial best efforts
                                    to supply a workaround, program temporary
                                    fix or update. The price for extended

                                    per site charge as set forth in Attachment
                                    A.

                  (iii)    Limitation on Warranties. This product warranty and
                           StarBand's remedies hereunder are solely for the
                           benefit of StarBand and shall not be extended to any

                           not apply to any Equipment or Software to the extent
                           that such Equipment or Software: (A) has had the

                           and/or humidity), or from any other cause beyond
                           Gilat's reasonable control, including force majeure,

10.      Confidential Information.

         As used in this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" means
         any information of a party disclosed by one party to another (the
         "Receiving Party") pursuant to this Agreement which is in written or
         other tangible form (including on magnetic media) or by oral, visual or
         other means, which is because of legends or other markings, the
         circumstances of disclosure or the nature of the information itself
         deemed to be proprietary and confidential, including without limitation
         this Agreement itself. Each party recognizes the importance of the
         Confidential Information. Accordingly, each party agrees as follows:

                                  CONFIDENTIAL
                                       10

Note: Information in this document marked with "[*]" has been omitted and filed
separately with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential
treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

         (a)      The Receiving Party agrees (i) to protect such Confidential
                  Information from disclosure to others, using the same degree
                  of care used to protect its own confidential or proprietary
                  information of like importance, but in any case using no less
                  than a reasonable degree of care, (ii) not to disclose except
                  as specifically permitted hereunder any of the Confidential
                  Information or any information derived therefrom to any third
                  person except to its affiliates, agents, contractors and
                  financing parties under a confidentiality obligation to the
                  Receiving Party, and (iii) not to make any use whatsoever at
                  any time of such Confidential Information except as expressly
                  authorized in this Agreement or as reasonably necessary for
                  the purposes of running their respective businesses. Subject
                  to restrictions on disseminating Confidential Information to
                  third parties contained in this Agreement, any affiliate,
                  employee, agent, contractor or financing party given access to
                  any such Confidential Information must have a legitimate "need
                  to know" and will be similarly bound to the Receiving Party in
                  writing (including without limitation pursuant to a
                  pre-existing agreement). The Receiving Party shall be
                  responsible to the disclosing party with respect to any breach
                  of the provisions of this section caused by any such third
                  parties provided access to Confidential Information by the
                  Receiving Party. Without granting any right or license, the
                  parties agree that the foregoing will not apply with respect
                  to information the Receiving Party can document (i) is in or
                  (through no improper action or inaction by the Receiving Party
                  or any affiliate, agent or employee of the Receiving Party)
                  enters the public domain, or (ii) was in its possession or
                  known by it prior to receipt from the disclosing party, or
                  (iii) was rightfully disclosed to it by another person without
                  restriction, or (iv) was developed independently by it without
                  use of the Confidential Information. The Parties recognize
                  that service providers (employees, consultants and the like)
                  may serve multiple parties hereto simultaneously and hereby
                  agree that disclosure to or from such service providers shall
                  not affect the obligations of confidentiality to the party
                  whose information is disclosed.

         (b)      Immediately upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving
                  Party will return or, at the disclosing party's direction,
                  destroy or erase and certify the destruction or erasure of all
                  Confidential Information and all documents containing any such
                  Confidential Information and all copies and extracts of the
                  portions of such Confidential Information (regardless of the
                  media on which the Confidential Information is stored).

         (c)      Either party may disclose the other's Confidential Information
                  as required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange
                  rules; provided however, that such party will provide the
                  other party as much notice as reasonably possible under the
                  circumstances of such disclosure and the opportunity to
                  contest such disclosure.

         (d)      Each Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that due to the
                  unique nature of the Confidential Information, there may be no
                  adequate remedy at law for breach

                                  CONFIDENTIAL

                  of the obligations hereunder. Therefore upon any such breach
                  or any threat of such breach, the disclosing party may be
                  entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to
                  whatever remedies it might have at law and under this
                  Agreement.

         (e)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
                  provisions of this Section 10 shall survive for a period of
                  five (5) years following the expiration or termination of this
                  Agreement.

11.      Dispute Resolution.

         (a)      Each party shall designate an individual as its project
                  manager with the right and responsibility to represent such
                  party with regard to the day to day management of such party's
                  performance of the terms of this Agreement ("Project
                  Manager").

         (b)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the
                  contrary, the following procedure shall be adhered to in all
                  disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement (other
                  than disputes arising under section 13(a)), that the parties
                  cannot resolve informally (the "Dispute").

                  (i)      Any party may initiate this dispute resolution
                           process by giving another party's Project Manager
                           written notice of the Dispute. The Project Managers
                           of the parties shall thereafter have a reasonable
                           period of time to resolve the Dispute, but in no
                           event longer than ten (10) days after delivery of the
                           written notice described in this section 11(b)(i).
                           All attempts at resolution shall be conducted in good
                           faith and in no event shall the Project Managers
                           waive attempts at such resolution.

                  (ii)     In the event the Project Managers are unable to
                           resolve a Dispute submitted to dispute resolution in
                           accordance with subsection (i) above, either party
                           may elect in writing, within five (5) days after
                           expiration of the ten (10) day period described in
                           (i) above, to refer the Dispute to appropriate senior
                           executive officers (Vice President or above) of the
                           parties having responsibility over such matters
                           ("Executive Officers"). The Executive Officers shall
                           thereafter have a reasonable period of time to
                           resolve the Dispute, but in no event longer than ten
                           (10) days following the written referral to them of
                           the Dispute. All attempts at resolution shall be
                           conducted in good faith and in no event shall the
                           Executive Officers waive attempts at such resolution.

                  (iii)    If the Project Managers are unable to resolve the
                           Dispute as described above, but neither party refers
                           the Dispute to the Executive Officers within the
                           indicated deadline, the relevant Dispute shall be
                           deemed withdrawn, but not waived. In order to
                           reestablish the claim, the claiming party will be
                           required to reinitiate the Dispute under section
                           11(b)(i).

                                  CONFIDENTIAL

                  (iv)     If, at any time following the procedures of section
                           11(a)(i), and if relevant, Section 11(a)(ii), the
                           Project Manager or the Executive Officer for one
                           Party notifies one or more other parties in writing
                           that a Dispute considered under this section
                           constitutes a material breach of the terms and
                           conditions of this Agreement, pursuant to section
                           13(b)(ii) hereof, the ninety (90) day cure period
                           provided in section 13(b)(ii), or any applicable cure
                           or notice period with respect to such breach, will be
                           considered to commence as of the date of such notice.

                  (v)      Any notices delivered in accordance with the
                           procedures set out above shall not be deemed
                           effective until delivered to and received by the
                           receiving party in accordance with the notice
                           provisions of Section 12 hereof.

13.      Termination Rights.

         (a)      If any party becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, is
                  the subject of any proceedings related to its liquidation,
                  insolvency or for the appointment of a receiver or similar
                  officer for it, makes an assignment for the benefit of all or
                  substantially all of its creditors, or enters into an
                  agreement for the composition, extension, or readjustment of
                  all or substantially all of its obligations, any other party
                  may, by giving thirty (30) days written notice thereof to the
                  affected party, terminate this Agreement without liability or
                  obligation, in whole or in part, as of a date specified in
                  such notice of termination.

         (b)      Any party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days
                  prior written notice to any other in the event of one of the
                  following:

                  (i)      A party's failure to pay any amounts due hereunder
                           that are not duly contested in good faith within
                           thirty (30) days after receipt of the terminating
                           party's written notice of default concerning the
                           same; or

                  (ii)     A party's failure to cure a material breach, within
                           ninety (90) days after receipt of the terminating
                           party's written notice of default concerning the
                           same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a material
                           breach is not able to be cured within such ninety
                           (90) days, the parties may agree to extend such
                           timeframe; provided, however, that Gilat may not
                           terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
                           13(b) so long as Gilat is directly or indirectly the
                           holder of 51% or more of the shares of rStar
                           Corporation or has the right or ability to elect or
                           appoint a majority of the Board of Directors of rStar
                           Corporation.

         (c)      With respect to breaches or defaults giving rise to a right to
                  terminate this Agreement, other than pursuant to section
                  13(a), the dispute resolution procedures of section 11(b)
                  shall be applicable. Any such right of termination shall be
                  suspended until the dispute resolution process in section
                  11(b) is completed or

                                  CONFIDENTIAL

                  until the alleged breaching party has had an opportunity to
                  seek judicial intervention prior to the end of any applicable
                  cure period in a notice given under section 11(b)(iv).

         (d)      The remedies provided under this section 13 are not exclusive
                  of any other rights or remedies under law or equity to which
                  either party may be entitled to with respect to any breach or
                  failure by the other party.

         (e)      Transition Period. If this Agreement (including any extension
                  terms) expires by its own terms under section 7(a), or if any
                  party terminates this Agreement prior to the end of the
                  applicable term hereof, except for termination pursuant to
                  Section 13(b)(i) hereto, the parties will reasonably cooperate
                  with one another to facilitate an effective transition to
                  commercially reasonable alternatives as follows:

                  (i)      Gilat will fill outstanding purchase orders for a
                           period of no less than eighteen (18) months from the
                           date of termination at the expiration of the term or
                           for termination for reasons other than failure to pay
                           timely;

                  (ii)     Gilat will support StarBand operations and
                           subscribers with regular Software updates and
                           telecommunications facilities and services pursuant
                           to the Telecommunications Services Agreement (to the
                           extent such agreement remains in effect at the time
                           of termination) for three (3) years following
                           termination subject to payment of any applicable fees
                           therefor as set forth in this Agreement or in the
                           Telecommunications Services Agreement;

                  (iii)    Gilat's product warranty and warranty parts
                           obligations set forth in section 9 shall survive any
                           such expiration or termination.

14.      Limitation of Liability and Indemnification.

         (a)      Except as further limited by section 9(f) hereto, the sole and
                  exclusive remedy at law (other than with respect to claims
                  involving misrepresentation or fraud) for any claim (whether
                  such claim is based in tort, contract or otherwise) arising
                  out of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
                  agreement in or pursuant to this Agreement shall be a claim
                  for actual damages, which claims are independent of and in
                  addition to any equitable rights or remedies. No party shall
                  be liable in any case to any other party for indirect,
                  consequential, punitive, special or other similar damages
                  arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

         (b)      Gilat shall, at its sole expense, defend, indemnify, and hold
                  StarBand harmless from and against all costs, expenses and
                  liabilities in connection with any claim, suit or action for
                  infringement of any intellectual property rights, including
                  patent, copyright, or trade secret rights which arise from any
                  of the products or services

                  provided by Gilat under this Agreement, including but not
                  limited to the currently pending Hughes claim.

         (c)      Should the Gilat Products & Services or any component thereof
                  that may be provided by Gilat under this Agreement become, or
                  in Gilat's opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim
                  of infringement of any intellectual property rights, Gilat may
                  exercise any of the following options at their sole expense:
                  (i) procure for StarBand the right to continue using the Gilat
                  Products & Services; (ii) replace the same with comparable
                  alternatives; (iii) modify the same so as to be
                  non-infringing; and/or (iv) compensate StarBand for the full
                  purchase price of the impacted Gilat Products & Services plus
                  an additional amount StarBand is required to reimburse to any
                  of its customers as a result therefor.

         (d)      StarBand agrees that Gilat's liability for intellectual
                  property infringement shall not apply to any claim, suit or
                  action for infringement which may be brought against StarBand
                  to the extent due to: (i) StarBand's modification of the Gilat
                  Products & Services or any parts thereof or StarBand's
                  modification of the Software or any software associated
                  therewith; or (ii) use of the Gilat Products & Services or
                  Transition Services with any device, software or services
                  added by StarBand. StarBand further agrees that it will
                  indemnify Gilat on the same terms as Gilat is obligated to
                  indemnify StarBand pursuant to this section, should any claim
                  of infringement be made against Gilat to the extent caused by
                  StarBand's modifications or use as aforesaid. StarBand,
                  however, shall not be liable for any such modifications that
                  are made at the instruction of Gilat.

         (e)      StarBand hereby indemnifies Gilat, and shall indemnify and
                  save Gilat harmless from and against injuries, loss and/or
                  damage to Gilat's employees and/or their tangible personal
                  property and/or to the person or tangible personal property of
                  third parties to the extent caused by the willful or negligent
                  acts or omissions of StarBand.

         (f)      Gilat hereby indemnifies and shall indemnify and save StarBand
                  harmless from and against injuries, loss, or and/or damage to
                  StarBand's employees and/or its tangible personal property
                  and/or to the person or tangible personal property of third
                  parties to the extent caused by the willful or negligent acts
                  or omissions of Gilat.

         (g)      It is understood and agreed by StarBand that under this
                  Agreement, Gilat is providing the Gilat Products & Services
                  for purposes determined by StarBand. StarBand recognizes that
                  Gilat does not control the manner in which StarBand uses the
                  Gilat Products & Services, the access by others to the data or
                  other content transmitted over the StarBand network or the
                  content of the communications that StarBand transmits and
                  receives over its network. StarBand therefore agrees to
                  indemnify and hold Gilat and Gilat's officers, directors, and

                                  CONFIDENTIAL

                  employees harmless from and against any and all claims for
                  direct damages, expenses, and losses (including reasonable
                  attorney's fees) to the extent arising out of or in connection
                  with (a) the use to which StarBand elects to put the Gilat
                  Products & Services; or (b) the content of the communications
                  that StarBand or its customers place over the Gilat Products &
                  Services.

         (h)      A party which is seeking indemnification hereunder shall
                  notify the indemnifying party in reasonable detail of the
                  event(s) giving rise to such claim for indemnification within
                  fifteen (15) business days after the indemnified party has
                  actual knowledge of such event(s). The indemnifying party
                  shall not have any liability to the indemnified party to the
                  extent that it is materially prejudiced as a result of any
                  delay in notification by the indemnified party nor shall the
                  indemnifying party be responsible for any additional loss
                  incurred by the indemnified party due to such delay by the
                  indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall have the right
                  to undertake the defense of any claim upon delivery of notice
                  to the indemnified party with respect to such claim. Such
                  defense shall be made with counsel reasonably acceptable to
                  the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party fails to
                  undertake the defense of the indemnified party within such
                  time period, the indemnified party may retain its own counsel
                  for such defense (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the
                  indemnifying party), and the indemnified party's reasonable
                  attorney's fees and expenses related to such claim shall be
                  paid by the indemnifying party. No party shall, without the
                  consent of the other party or parties, agree to any
                  non-monetary settlement of the indemnified claim.

15.      Within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, Gilat agrees to
         commence providing the Escrow Agent the Escrow Materials as described
         in Attachment D and shall thereafter, during the term of this
         Agreement, continually provide to the Escrow Agent the Escrow Materials
         as are commercially reasonable. StarBand's right to access the Escrow
         Materials shall be as provided in the Escrow Agreement (All terms
         herein shall be defined in Attachment D).

         (a)      Effective upon the release of the Escrow Materials to
                  StarBand, Gilat grants to StarBand a fully paid-up and royalty
                  free license under Gilat's intellectual property rights
                  (including but not limited to, patents, inventions,
                  discoveries, trade secrets, know-how, and copyrights, but not
                  including trademarks and tradenames) to (a) make or have made
                  the Equipment as described in Attachment D of the Agreement;
                  (b) to incorporate into such manufactured Equipment the
                  licensed Software; and (c) to use, sell, lease, rent,
                  maintain, or otherwise dispose of the Equipment containing the
                  Licensed Software to the same extent as permitted under the
                  Master Agreement. Except as provided in Section 3.4 of the
                  Escrow Agreement, such license shall be irrevocable. Gilat
                  agrees that it will not enter into any agreements or
                  relationship with a third party which agreement or
                  relationship would preclude the exercise by StarBand of the
                  rights granted to it

                  under this Section 15(a) and the Escrow Agreement. This
                  license grant shall give StarBand the right to have a
                  third-party complete and support the Escrow Materials for
                  StarBand, provided that such license shall be limited to
                  StarBands use to manufacture and support the Equipment as
                  specified in this provision. StarBand shall not be permitted
                  to license or sublicense others to use the Escrow Materials
                  (except as is incident to the sale or lease of the initial
                  Equipment by StarBand) or to manufacture or distribute the
                  Equipment except directly for and on behalf of StarBand.
                  Nothing herein shall be construed as a transfer of title to
                  the Escrow Materials, or any portion thereof, or any rights in
                  the intellectual property, trade secret, copyright or patent
                  rights related thereto, except in so far as they may be
                  licensed pursuant to the foregoing license.

16.      Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

         This Agreement, including all matters relating to the validity,
         construction, performance and enforcement hereof, shall be governed by
         the laws of the State of New York, without giving reference to its
         principles of conflicts of laws. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably
         submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court in the
         Southern District of New York, or, to the extent federal jurisdiction
         is not available, any state court in New York, in respect of any action
         arising out of or based upon this Agreement and irrevocably waives any
         objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
         any such action in any such court.

17.      Assignment.

         This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the
         parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Except as to
         distributor and resellers engaged by StarBand to carry out the Business
         none of the parties to this Agreement may assign, transfer or convey
         any right, obligation or duty, in whole or in part, or of any other
         interest under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the
         other relevant parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent shall
         be required in the case of an assignment by a party to an affiliate or
         subsidiary of such party. Furthermore no consent shall be required in a
         transaction involving a merger of StarBand where StarBand shall not be
         the surviving entity or a sale of all or substantially all the assets
         of StarBand.

18.      Waiver of Compliance.

         Other than sections 11(b)(i) or 11(b)(ii), any term or condition of
         this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled
         to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless
         set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the
         party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any
         term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances,
         shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other
         term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All
         remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded,
         will be cumulative and not alternative.

19.      Export Restrictions.

         StarBand agrees that it shall not export, re-export, resell, ship or
         divert the Equipment or Software directly or indirectly to any country
         for which a U.S. or other export license is required without first
         receiving confirmation that the U.S. Department of Commerce and other
         relevant authorities have approved or licensed, if required, such
         export, re-export, resale, shipment or diversion.

20.      Force Majeure.

         Unless specified otherwise, any delay in or failure of performance by
         any party under this Agreement shall not be considered a breach of this
         Agreement if and to the extent caused by events beyond the reasonable
         control of the party affected, including but not limited to acts of
         God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, strikes, riots, wars or
         other military action, civil disorders, rebellion, vandalism, or
         sabotage. The party whose performance is affected by such events shall
         promptly notify the other parties giving details of the force majeure
         circumstances, and the obligations of the party giving such notice
         shall be suspended during but not longer than the continuance of the
         force majeure, and the time for performance of the affected obligation
         hereunder shall be extended by the time of the delay caused by the
         force majeure event.

21.      Verification.

         Each party shall have the right to request on fifteen (15) days notice
         that a third party certified public accountant acceptable to Gilat and
         StarBand, but paid for by the party making the request, conduct an
         audit of the relevant records of another party to verify compliance
         with this Agreement or any portion thereof. The subject matters of such
         an audit may include, but are not necessarily limited to, capacity,
         price, cost, and related issues, but only to the extent this Agreement
         provides (expressly or by reasonable implication) that such matters are
         subject to verification by another party hereto.

22.      Entire Agreement; Amendments.

         This Agreement and any specified provisions of documents incorporated
         by reference contains the entire agreement between the parties with
         respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, and supersede all
         prior arrangements or understandings with respect thereto, written or
         oral. Once this Agreement has been executed, any amendments hereto must
         be made in writing and signed by all parties.

23.      Survival.

         The provisions of section 9(f) Product Warranty, section 10
         Confidential Information, and section 11 Dispute Resolution and any
         other provision which by its terms survives the termination herein,
         shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be
         unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in
         accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the
         original intentions of the parties and the remainder of the provisions
         shall remain in full force and effect.

25.      Counterparts.

         This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
         which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall

                       Description of Transition Services

1.       In consideration for the Transition Services detailed below, performed
         by Gilat for StarBand, StarBand shall pay to Gilat the following fees
         (not including payments covering costs and expenses for employees
         loaned to StarBand by Gilat or any other payments that StarBand
         requests that Gilat process through its accounts payable, both of which
         StarBand will reimburse to Gilat):

         A.       Information Technology (IT) StarBand shall reimburse the
                  actual cost incurred by Gilat for IT services provided by
                  Gilat to StarBand.

         B.       Research and Development (R&D) For the right to receive on an
                  ongoing basis the most advanced technology and software and
                  any associated updates from Gilat at no additional cost,
                  Starband will pay to Gilat, in addition to the prices agreed
                  to in attachment A above, an amount of $[*] per VSAT, for up
                  to 10,000 VSATs sold by StarBand per calendar quarter. The
                  parties agree that there shall be no royalty payments by
                  StarBand to Gilat.

         C.       Real Estate. Star Band shall reimburse the actual costs
                  incurred by Gilat for the pro rata share of office space rent
                  paid on the premises of the facilities occupied by StarBand in
                  SUNRISE, FLORIDA and such locations in the Territory as are
                  necessary for the operation of the Business.

         D.       Administrative Services. Gilat shall provide StarBand with
                  such administrative services (including, without limitation,
                  financial, legal, accounting, tax preparation, human resources
                  and the like) as is reasonably required by StarBand for which
                  StarBand will reimburse Gilat for Gilat's actual cost incurred
                  by Gilat for providing such services.

         Except for (i) the R&D provisions mentioned above, which shall survive
         a period of two (2) years from the date of the signing of this
         Agreement and (ii) the Real Estate provision which shall be subject to
         the same termination notice provisions and other terms and conditions
         for early termination set forth in Gilat's leases for the respective
         properties, StarBand may, in its discretion and upon ninety (90) days'
         written notice, cancel one or more of the above Transition Services
         effective at the close of the first calendar quarter following the
         notice, at which time StarBand's obligation to pay Gilat the above
         quarterly fees will cease.

                                Non-Compete Terms

During the term of this Agreement (including all renewals thereof), Gilat
hereby agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates
(other than StarBand) to, (a) directly or indirectly, offer in South America
(excluding Chile), Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean (the
"Territory"), except to Large Businesses (as defined below), any products or
services competitive with the Gilat Products & Services that are the subject
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, selling, offering for sale
or distributing free of charge, customer premises equipment ("CPE") or any
other products, services, equipment or other items related to the provision
by StarBand of such goods and services in the Territory, or (b) enter into or
permit to exist any transaction with StarBand unless such transaction is
negotiated and consummated on an arm's length basis and upon terms and
conditions no less favorable than those which StarBand could reasonably
expect to be offered by a third party in a substantially similar transaction;
provided, however, that the limitations set forth in clause (a) of this
paragraph shall not: (i) in any way limit the activities of StarBand
Communications Inc. in Mexico; or (ii) limit or prevent Gilat from conducting
business in Chile with COMUNICACION Y TELEFONIA RURAL  S.A., SERVICIOS
RURALES DE TELECOMUNICACIONES S.A., CTR HOLDINGS LTD., and RURAL
TELECOMMUNICATIONS CHILE S.A.

For the purpose herein, (a) "Existing VSAT Business" means the sale, marketing,
service support of VSAT equipment and VSAT-based network services and the
installation of such equipment; and (b) a "Large Business" means any
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association,
joint-stock company, trust, trustee, unincorporated organization, authority or
other body that (i) has at least 100 VSAT sites and (ii) is centrally billed,
but that is not (A) an Internet Service Provider or (B) a provider of access to
the service (two-way broadband connectivity via satellite) at a residence or
"small office, home office" through an arrangement whereby it would be
reasonably likely that the provider of such access would be paid for such
access, if it was not obtaining another commercial benefit therefrom.

In addition to the foregoing, Gilat further represents and warrants that it will
sell Gilat Products & Services to other parties only pursuant to written terms
and conditions that are expressly limited in such a manner that will not impair
or conflict with StarBand's rights hereunder. Gilat further agrees to use
reasonable efforts to stop and/or discourage activities of other parties that
might attempt to sell Gilat Products & Services in the business segments
described above that are exclusively StarBand's, and to cooperate with StarBand
in this regard.

The preceding paragraphs shall apply to all two-way satellite products now in
existence or that are developed during the term of this agreement (including all
renewals thereof) by Gilat, or any of its affiliates, which shall be made
available to StarBand on mutually agreeable terms and conditions.

During the term of this Agreement (including all renewals thereof), StarBand
agrees that it shall not, in the Territory, offer to Large Businesses products
and services substantially similar to the products and services that compete
with the Existing VSAT Business, it being understood that

Note: Information in this document marked with "[*]" has been omitted and filed

nothing contained herein shall prevent StarBand from providing any services
whatsoever to any Person that is not a Large Business or to provide services to
a Large Business which at the time of provision of any equipment or services by
StarBand was not a Large Business and became a Large Business.

Gilat and StarBand each acknowledge that the covenants set forth above
pertaining to them contain reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area
and scope of activity to be restrained, and do not impose a greater restraint
than is necessary to protect and preserve for the benefit of the Parties the
goodwill of StarBand and Gilat and to protect the legitimate business interests
of the Parties. If, however, the covenants set forth above are determined by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their duration
or the scope of the geographical area covered or in any other respect, they will
be interpreted to extend only over the longest period of time for which they may
be enforceable and/or over the largest geographical area as to which they may be
enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other aspects as to which they
may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

These Non-Compete Terms shall terminate upon the termination of the Agreement by
either party thereto in accordance with the terms thereof.

Gilat and StarBand shall enter into an escrow agreement, as contemplated by
Section 15 of this Agreement, in form and substance mutually agreeable to them.

effective Transfer of all of the Purchased Assets nor shall this Section 2.06 be
deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude any asset, property or right from

                           ARTICLE III: PURCHASE PRICE

         SECTION 3.01. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Purchased

         SECTION 3.03. PAYMENT OF ESTIMATED PURCHASE PRICE. At the Closing,
MEGTEC shall pay or cause any Designated Purchaser to pay to Baldwin Enkel,
Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia an estimated purchase price, in the aggregate, in

         SECTION 3.04. ADJUSTMENT TO ESTIMATED PURCHASE PRICE.

                  (a) ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT. The Estimated Purchase Price will be
subject to post-Closing adjustment (a "Purchase Price Adjustment"), up or down,
to the extent the Closing Tangible Net Book Value as of the Closing Time is more
or less than Seven Million Three Hundred Seventy-Six Thousand Dollars
($7,376,000). Closing Tangible Net Book Value as of the Closing Time will be
determined from a statement (the "Final Statement") prepared by MEGTEC in
accordance with the Accounting Instructions and subject to review and approval
by Baldwin Technology and its accountants, as provided in Section 3.04(b)
hereof. Both Baldwin Technology and MEGTEC and their respective employees and
representatives shall be entitled to participate in the taking of the physical

                  (b) FINAL STATEMENT. To determine whether an adjustment to the
Estimated Purchase Price is required, MEGTEC will, within one hundred twenty
(120) days after the Closing, prepare and deliver to Baldwin Technology a
proposed Final Statement, which will reflect the Closing Tangible Net Book Value
as of the Closing Time. The purchase price for the Baldwin Enkel portion of the
Purchased Assets, the Baldwin Amal portion of the Purchased Assets and the CS
Printing Shares shall be expressed in the Final Statement in United States
Dollars using the foreign currency exchange rate for the applicable local
currency as of the Closing Time as reported in the Eastern Edition of The Wall
Street Journal. MEGTEC will provide Baldwin Technology and its accountants with
reasonable access to its work papers for the Final Statement and permit Baldwin
Technology and its accountants to review and/or audit the same, at Baldwin
Technology's sole cost and expense. If Baldwin Technology disputes the Final
Statement, Baldwin Technology shall deliver to MEGTEC within sixty (60) days

                                       34

after receiving the Final Statement, a statement (the "Dispute Notice") setting
forth what Baldwin Technology and its accountants believe is the correct Closing
Tangible Net Book Value as of the Closing Time and describing, in reasonable
detail, the basis for the determination of such different Closing Tangible Net
Book Value. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such differences
regarding the determination of Closing Tangible Net Book Value as of the Closing
Time for a period of thirty (30) days after Baldwin Technology has given the
Dispute Notice. If the Parties resolve such differences, the Closing Tangible
Net Book Value agreed to by the Parties shall be deemed to be the final Closing
Tangible Net Book Value.

                  (c) DISPUTE RESOLUTION. If the Parties do not reach a final
resolution within thirty (30) days after Baldwin Technology has given the
Dispute Notice, unless each Party agrees in writing in its sole discretion to
continue its efforts to resolve all differences, Ernst & Young, LLP or another
mutually acceptable "big 5" accounting firm (other than Arthur Andersen LLP or
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) (the "Neutral Accountants") shall resolve such
differences in the manner provided in this Section 3.04(c). Baldwin Technology
and MEGTEC shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral
Accountants, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among MEGTEC, Baldwin
Technology and the Neutral Accountants, advocating the merits of Closing
Tangible Net Book Value as of the Closing Time as espoused by such Party; and
the Neutral Accountants shall be required to resolve the differences between the
Parties and determine Closing Tangible Net Book Value as of the Closing Time,
solely in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Instructions, within
ten (10) Business Days thereafter. The Closing Tangible Net Book Value as of the
Closing Time determined by the Neutral Accountants shall be deemed to be the
final Net Book Value as of the Closing Time and the Purchase Price Adjustment,
as adjusted to reflect such determination, shall be deemed to be the final
Purchase Price Adjustment. Such determination by the Neutral Accountants shall
be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error.
Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Neutral Accountants

                                       35
<PAGE>   50
(i) to determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with
this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between the Parties
regarding the determination of Closing Tangible Net Book Value solely in
accordance with the Accounting Instructions, or (ii) to resolve any such
differences by making an adjustment to the Purchase Price Adjustment that is
outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by the Parties in
their respective proposed statements of Closing Tangible Net Book Value
submitted in accordance with this Section 3.04(c).

                  (d) FEES. All fees, costs and expenses of the Neutral
Accountants will be shared by MEGTEC and Baldwin Technology in inverse
proportion to the aggregate dollar value of unresolved matters decided in each
Party's favor, as determined by the Neutral Accountants in their sole
discretion.

                  (e) FAILURE TO DELIVER NOTICE. Failure of Baldwin Technology
to deliver a Dispute Notice within sixty (60) days after receiving the Final
Statement from MEGTEC shall constitute acceptance by Baldwin Technology of the
Closing Tangible Net Book Value set forth in the Final Statement, whereupon such
Closing Tangible Net Book Value shall be deemed to be the final Closing Tangible
Net Book Value and the Purchase Price Adjustment shall be deemed to be the final
Purchase Price Adjustment.

                  (f) PAYMENT. Any amount due to or from Baldwin Technology,
including interest as determined in accordance with Section 3.04(g) hereof, will
be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business
Days after the final determination of Closing Tangible Net Book Value, whether
such determination is made by mutual agreement of the Parties or by decision of
the Neutral Accountants.

                  (g) INTEREST. Interest would be computed from the Closing Time
to the date the Purchase Price Adjustment is paid at the prime rate of interest
of The Bank of New York in effect on the date of Closing.

Baldwin Amal, Baldwin Asia and Baldwin Enkel agree that the consideration

agrees to cause any Designated Purchaser to adhere to, such allocation for the
purposes of any federal or state income or franchise tax returns filed by them
subsequent to the Closing, including the determination by Baldwin Technology,
Baldwin Amal, Baldwin Asia and Baldwin Enkel, as the case may be, of taxable
gain or loss on the sale of the Purchased Assets and the CS Printing Shares and
the assumption of the Assumed Obligations and the determination by MEGTEC and
any Designated Purchaser of their respective tax basis with respect to the CS

consultant or contractor is in breach of any such agreement and no such former
employee, consultant or contractor to the Roll Handling Group is a supplier of
any similar services (whether as any employee, consultant or otherwise) to any
competitor of the Roll Handling Group.

                  (i) With respect to the Roll Handling Business, the Purchased
Assets and the Retained Assets, the Roll Handling Group has not indemnified

failure of any such software or hardware to perform in accordance with the
applicable specifications has materially disrupted the Roll Handling Business or
operations of the Roll Handling Group relating to the Roll Handling Business,
the Purchased Assets or the Retained Assets since July 1, 1998 and, to Baldwin's
Knowledge, there are no defects in such hardware or software which are
reasonably likely to continue to cause any such material disruptions.

Persons that may be or become necessary for the performance of their respective

to obtain such authorizations, consents, orders and approval. No Party will take
any action that is likely to have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding
the receipt of any required authorizations, consents, orders or approvals.

       SECTION 7.06 EFFORTS TO CLOSE. Each of Sequa, MEGTEC, Baldwin Technology,
Baldwin Asia and the Roll Handling Group shall cooperate and use their
respective best efforts to promptly fulfill the conditions to closing set forth

except to the extent Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal or Baldwin
Asia shall have, in a good and workmanlike manner, repaired or replaced the
Purchased Assets or Retained Assets which have been lost, destroyed or damaged,
in which case Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal or Baldwin Asia
shall be entitled to reimbursement from insurance proceeds for such repair or

<PAGE>   103
Group shall prosecute any insurance claims MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser is
entitled to make with respect to any damage, destruction or other loss and
Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal, Baldwin Asia and Baldwin Enkel
shall reasonably cooperate with MEGTEC and any Designated Purchaser in
prosecuting such claims.

       SECTION 7.08 UPDATING OF SCHEDULES. Between the date of this Agreement
and the Closing Time, Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Asia and the Roll Handling
Group shall promptly notify MEGTEC in writing of and (with respect to
representations and warranties) provide MEGTEC with a complete and accurate

Purchased Assets, the Retained Assets or the ability of Baldwin Technology,
Baldwin Asia or the Roll Handling Group to perform any of their respective
obligations under this Agreement or the Additional Documents; (b) any fact or
condition of which Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Asia or the Roll Handling Group
becomes aware that, with or without a lapse of time or giving of notice, or
both, constitutes or may constitute a breach of Baldwin Technology's, Baldwin
Enkel's, Baldwin Amal's or Baldwin Asia's representations and warranties as of
the date of this Agreement, or a breach of any such representation or warranty
had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or
discovery of such fact or condition; and (c) any occurrence or condition that
would result in a breach by Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Amal, Baldwin Asia or
Baldwin Enkel or the Roll Handling Group of any of their respective covenants
under this Agreement or make the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing in
Article X hereof impossible or unlikely. If and to the extent that the Closing
occurs following delivery of the Supplements, Sequa or MEGTEC shall be deemed to
have consented to the Supplements and the corresponding representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements shall be deemed to be qualified,
supplemented or amended in accordance with the Supplements. If any

                                       89
<PAGE>   104
Supplement discloses an event or condition which, by itself, or together with
any other events or conditions so disclosed, would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect and, as a result, MEGTEC shall not consent
to such Supplement, then MEGTEC's sole remedy shall be the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 12.03, without any further liability or obligation
of any Party hereunder.

under the Swedish Act on Co-Determination in the Workplace, unless (i) with
respect to requirements of WARN, precluded from doing so by the timing of the
execution of this Agreement in relation to the Closing, in which case Baldwin
Enkel shall give such notice to the extent possible under the circumstances and
shall defend and indemnify MEGTEC and any Designated Purchaser on account of any
Damages incurred by them and (ii) with respect to requirements of the Swedish
Act on Co-Determination in the Workplace, precluded from doing so by the timing

                      Article VIII. POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

       SECTION 8.01 USE OF THE BALDWIN NAME. After the Closing, MEGTEC shall
have no right to use the "Baldwin" name (other than in response to unsolicited

       SECTION 8.02. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

       (a) Non-Competition Covenant. For a period of five (5) years after the
       Closing Time (the "Restricted Period"), each of Baldwin Technology,
       Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia and their respective
       Affiliates shall not engage in, directly or indirectly, whether by itself
       or as or through any shareholder, partner, joint venturer, agent,
       salesman, consultant, officer and/or director of any Person or otherwise,
       any or all of the following activities: (i) compete directly or
       indirectly with the business of the Roll Handling Business, except any
       business acquired by any of them in which the portion of business
       activity which is directly or indirectly competitive with the business of
       the Roll Handling Business comprises no greater than ten percent (10%) of
       such business' revenue; (ii) solicit customers, business, patronage, or
       orders for, or sell any products, or perform any services for, any
       business which is, directly or indirectly, competitive with the Roll
       Handling Business; or (iii) promote or assist, financially or otherwise,
       or have an interest in any Person engaged in any business which is
       competitive with the Roll Handling Business, except any business acquired
       by any of them in which the portion of business activity which is
       directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the Roll Handling
       Business comprises no greater than ten percent (10%) of such business'
       revenue; or (iv) engage or enter into any partnership, joint venture or
       other business association with, any Person other than (A) any Excluded
       Employee or (B) any officer or director or any member of the Roll
       Handling Group who is also either an officer or director of Baldwin
       Technology or any of its Affiliates (other than any member of the Roll
       Handling Group), who was, since January 1, 2001, or is at any time prior
       to the Closing, an employee, sales, technical or service agent,
       representative, officer or director of the Roll Handling Business or is
       listed in SCHEDULE 8.02 for a period of twelve (12) months after such
       person ceases or has ceased, for any reason, to be an employee,
       representative, officer or director of the Roll Handling Group; or (v)
       directly or indirectly solicit (excluding, however, for this purpose any
       general solicitation) for employment or encourage to leave the employment
       of MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser any of the Employees who become
       employed by MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser or any of the

                                       92
<PAGE>   107
Employees whose employment is retained by Baldwin Printing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each of Sequa and MEGTEC acknowledges that Baldwin Technology and/or
its Affiliates (other than any member of the Roll Handling Group) may
manufacture and sell non-automatic unwinds and rewinds solely and exclusively
for the short run, small format digital print material handling businesses, and
that such activities do not and will not constitute a violation of this Section
8.02(a) or competition for purposes of Section 8.02(a) or 8.02(b) hereof. In the
event of a violation of any provision of this Section 8.02(a), the running of
the Restricted Period shall be automatically tolled for and only for the period
of the violation (i.e., no part of the Restricted Period shall expire during the
period of such violation) and the Restricted Period shall continue to run when
such violation shall cease and shall expire after the Restricted Period has run
for a total of five (5) years from and after the Closing Time. For the avoidance
of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 8.02(a) shall restrict Baldwin
Technology or any of its Affiliates from selling any of those products and in
those quantities which are delivered to Baldwin Technology or any of its
Affiliates by MEGTEC or any Designated Purchasers after the Closing pursuant to
any Customer Contract or Retained Customer Contract with Baldwin Technology or
any of its Affiliates and which are included in either the Purchased Assets or
Retained Assets.

       (b) CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin
Amal and Baldwin Asia hereby covenants and agrees that at all times from and
after the Closing Time, it shall and shall cause its Affiliates to keep secret
and maintain in strictest confidence, and not use for its benefit or for the
benefit of others to compete directly or indirectly with the Roll Handling
Business, any confidential or proprietary information relating to the Roll
Handling Group, the Roll Handling Business, the Assumed Obligations, the
Continuing Obligations, the Purchased Assets and the Retained Assets, including,
without limitation, all know-how, trade secrets, formulas, bills of material,
names of customers or suppliers, contracts and arrangements with customers,
suppliers, joint venturers, or other third parties, pricing policies,
operational methods, marketing plans or strategies or product development
techniques or plans; no

                                       93
<PAGE>   108
provision of this Section 8.02(b) shall prohibit the (i) use, other than during
the Restricted Period in a business which competes with the Roll Handling
Business, by Baldwin Technology or its Affiliates of any such information that
(A) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of
any breach of the provisions of this Agreement, (B) is commonly known to Persons
engaged in the Roll Handling Business or any similar industry or by individuals
employed by Persons engaged in such industry other than as a result of any
breach of the provisions of this Agreement, (C) is disclosed to Baldwin
Technology or any of its Affiliates by any unrelated Person not under a duty of
confidentiality or (ii) disclosure by any Party of such information that is
required to be disclosed by such Party under any applicable law, regulation or
final order of any Governmental Authority or court having jurisdiction over such
Party or reasonably requested by any Governmental Authority (in which case such
Party shall promptly give notice to MEGTEC of such required disclosure,
describing in reasonable specificity and detail all information to be so
disclosed and all relevant circumstances with respect to such disclosure, to
enable MEGTEC to take any appropriate action in order to limit such required
disclosure, and shall provide all reasonable cooperation to MEGTEC in connection
with any such action).

         (c) REMEDIES. It is mutually recognized and agreed that the Roll
Handling Business being acquired by MEGTEC and any Designated Purchaser
hereunder is conducted throughout the world and that the geographical scope, the
periods of restrictions and restraints imposed by this Section 8.02 are fair and
reasonable and required for the protection of MEGTEC and any Designated
Purchaser and a significant inducement for MEGTEC and any Designated Purchaser
to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. It is
further recognized and agreed that (i) irreparable injury may result to MEGTEC
and any Designated Purchaser and their respective business and properties in the
event of a breach or threatened breach of this covenant by Baldwin Technology,
Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal, Baldwin Asia or any of their respective Affiliates,
and (ii) the amount or extent of a breach or

                                       94
<PAGE>   109
threatened breach of this covenant by Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin
Amal, Baldwin Asia or any of their respective Affiliates and the amount or
extent of damages would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain and
therefore, that any remedy at law for any breach by any of them of this covenant
will be inadequate. Accordingly, without prejudice to the rights of MEGTEC and
any Designated Purchaser to also seek such damages or other remedies available
to it, MEGTEC and any Designated Purchaser shall be entitled to, and Baldwin
Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia covenant that they will
not contest the appropriateness or availability of, temporary and permanent
injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages to MEGTEC or
any Designated Purchaser by reason of any such breach or threatened breach.
Whenever used herein, MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser shall be deemed to
include any successor or any other person or entity which may hereafter acquire
all or any portion of the aforesaid Roll Handling Business being acquired by
MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser hereunder during the period of this covenant
not to compete.

         (d) SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Section 8.02 should be
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
such provision shall be deemed deleted herefrom with respect, and only with
respect, to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in
which such adjudication was made; provided, however, that to the extent any such
provision may be made valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction by limitations
on the scope of the activities, geographical area or time period covered,
Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal, Baldwin Asia and Sequa and
MEGTEC agree that such provision instead shall be deemed limited to the extent,
and only to the extent, necessary to make such provision enforceable to the
fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in such
jurisdiction.

         (e) COVENANTS INDEPENDENT. The covenants contained in this Section 8.02
shall be construed and enforced independently of each other and independently of
any other provision of this Agreement or any other

                                       95
<PAGE>   110
understanding or agreement between the parties, and the existence of any claim
or cause of action of Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal or Baldwin
Asia against Sequa or MEGTEC, of whatever nature, shall not constitute a defense
to the enforcement of the covenants contained herein against Baldwin Technology,
Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal or Baldwin Asia.

       SECTION 8.03 TRANSITION AND FURTHER ASSURANCES.

         (a) Each of Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal and Baldwin
Asia will not take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of
discouraging any lessor, customer, supplier, licensor or other Person from
maintaining the same business relationships with MEGTEC, any Designated
Purchaser or Baldwin Printing after the Closing as it maintained with the Roll
Handling Group in respect of the Roll Handling Business, Purchased Assets and
Retained Assets prior to the Closing. Each of Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel,
Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia will refer all customer, supplier and other
inquiries relating to the Roll Handling Business to MEGTEC from and after the
Closing and otherwise reasonably cooperate with MEGTEC and any Designated
Purchaser in transitioning the Roll Handling Business to MEGTEC or any
Designated Purchaser.

         (b) Each of Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal and Baldwin
Asia shall, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Time, upon the
reasonable request of MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser and at Baldwin
Technology's, Baldwin Enkel's, Baldwin Amal's or Baldwin Asia's sole cost and
expense, as the case may be, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further deeds, assignments,
transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney and assurances and take such other
action as may be reasonably required by MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser for
the better assigning, transferring, granting, conveying, assuring and confirming
to MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser, or to its successors and assigns, the
Roll Handling Business, the CS Printing Shares, the ownership interest in and
shares of Baldwin Printing and any of the Purchased Assets and Retained Assets
or aiding and assisting in collecting and reducing to

                                       96
<PAGE>   111
possession by MEGTEC and any Designated Purchaser any or all of the Purchased
Assets and Retained Assets, and to protect the right, title and interest of
MEGTEC and any Designated Purchaser therein and the enjoyment by MEGTEC and any
Designated Purchaser thereof, and otherwise to carry out the purpose and intent
of this Agreement.

         (c) Sequa and MEGTEC shall, at any time and from time to time after the
Closing Time, upon the reasonable request of Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel,
Baldwin Amal or Baldwin Asia and at Sequa's or MEGTEC's sole cost and expense,
as the case may be, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be executed,
acknowledged and delivered all such further documents and assurances and take
such other action as may be reasonably required by Baldwin Technology, Baldwin
Enkel, Baldwin Amal or Baldwin Asia with respect to the Excluded Assets, Assumed
Obligations, Transferred Assets and Continuing Liabilities and otherwise to
carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

       SECTION 8.04 COOPERATION. After the Closing, each of Sequa, MEGTEC,
Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia will cooperate
with the other, and cause its directors, officers and employees to cooperate
with the other, in furnishing information, evidence, testimony, and other
assistance as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection with:
(i) any pending or Threatened Proceeding resulting or arising from the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any fact, situation,

                                       97
<PAGE>   112
the Roll Handling Business or (iii) the transfer of the Transferred Assets by
Baldwin Printing to Baldwin Technology or Baldwin Asia, as the case may be.

       SECTION 8.05 ADMINISTRATION OF ACCOUNTS.

         (a) All payments and reimbursements made in the ordinary course by any
Person in the name of or to the Roll Handling Group to the extent in connection
with or arising out of CS Printing, Baldwin Printing, the Purchased Assets, the

       SECTION 8.06 ACCESS TO FORMER BUSINESS RECORDS. After the Closing,
Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia shall deliver

of Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia reasonable
access to financial, tax and other books and records retained by it which
constitute part of the Purchased Assets and Retained Assets for any reasonable

tax reporting, and will permit such representatives, at MEGTEC's expense, to

obtain temporary possession thereof as may be reasonably required by MEGTEC.
Each party shall preserve and keep such books and records for a period of seven
(7) years following the Closing Time, or for any longer period that may be
required by any Governmental Authority or ongoing Proceeding; provided, that any
Party may dispose of any such books and records retained by it at any time
provided that

                                       99

notice to the other Party and afford the other Party the opportunity to take
possession or copy such books and records as the other Party may select.

       SECTION 8.07 PRODUCT WARRANTY CLAIMS AND SERVICES. If any customer of the
Roll Handling Group makes a claim against MEGTEC, MEGTEC's Affiliates, any
Designated Purchaser or Baldwin Printing for the repair, return or replacement
of, or the refund of all or any portion of the purchase price of any product
sold by the Roll Handling Group in its conduct of the Roll Handling Business
prior to the Closing Time, then MEGTEC shall, subject to its rights of dispute
resolution as provided in Section 11.11(a) hereof in the event of disagreement,
do whichever of the following is the least expensive alternative provided for
under the applicable warranty terms with the customer or applicable Legal
Requirements: (a) replace such product and pay packing, shipping and other

or credit such customer's account an amount up to the purchase price of such

advise Baldwin Technology of all customer disputes as to applicable warranty
terms. If the sum of the losses incurred or amounts paid by MEGTEC, MEGTEC's
Affiliates or any Designated Purchaser, exceeds the amount of the product
warranty reserve accrued and included in the Final Statement, then Baldwin
Technology shall, promptly upon demand, reimburse MEGTEC for all amounts
expended by MEGTEC, MEGTEC's Affiliates, and any Designated Purchaser, as the
case may be, in excess of the amount of the product warranty reserve accrued and
included in the Final Statement; provided, however, that with respect to
MEGTEC's discharge of such warranty obligations, Baldwin Technology shall be
charged and shall pay MEGTEC, MEGTEC's Affiliates or

                                       100

any Designated Purchaser the aggregate of (i) the sum of Fifty-Five Dollars

efforts to collect the Receivables and Retained Receivables, such commercially
reasonable efforts to solely consist of calling the obligors of Receivables and
Retained Receivables which are past due and requesting payment; if necessary,
sending copies of past due invoices to the obligor and requesting payment; and,
if still necessary, sending letters to the

                                       101
<PAGE>   116
obligors requesting payment of past due amounts; provided, that, neither MEGTEC,
any Designated Purchaser nor Baldwin Printing nor any of their respective
Affiliates shall be under any obligation to commence litigation or institute
collection efforts through outside agencies to collect any Receivables or
Retained Receivables, compromise the amount of any Receivables or Retained
Receivables, advise the obligor of any Receivable or Retained Receivables
regarding the rights of MEGTEC to require Baldwin Technology to repurchase
Receivables or Retained Receivables, in certain circumstances; and provided,
further, that the foregoing shall not require MEGTEC, any Designated Purchaser
or Baldwin Printing to offset Receivables or Retained Receivables against
amounts due by or to MEGTEC, any Designated Purchaser or Baldwin Printing to
discontinue doing business with any entity owing such Receivables or Retained
Receivables or to bill for interest or other charges on past due accounts.
MEGTEC shall notify Baldwin Technology in writing every fifteen (15) days after
the end of each calendar month following the Closing, identifying all
outstanding Receivables and Retained Receivables which are not collected in full
by MEGTEC at such date. In the event and to the extent that, notwithstanding
such collection efforts by MEGTEC, any Designated Purchaser or Baldwin Printing,
any Receivables or Retained Receivables are not collected in full by MEGTEC, any
Designated Purchaser or Baldwin Printing within one hundred twenty (120) days
following the Closing Time, MEGTEC shall have the right, exercisable by notice
to Baldwin Technology within thirty (30) days commencing on the final day of
that one hundred twenty (120) day period, to require Baldwin Technology to
repurchase from MEGTEC, any Designated Purchaser or Baldwin Printing within ten
(10) Business Days following receipt of timely notice from MEGTEC, for cash, any
such uncollected Receivables or Retained Receivables at the outstanding amount
thereof, whether or not then due, and without discount (against receipt by
Baldwin Technology of a written assignment on a non-recourse basis as to
collectability) of such Receivables or Retained Receivables from MEGTEC, any
Designated Purchaser or Baldwin Printing, as the case may be. Unless (i) subject
to a bona fide dispute by the obligor, (ii) a designation

                                      102
<PAGE>   117
initiated by the obligor, or (iii) as a result of MEGTEC, any Designated
Purchaser or Baldwin Printing refusing to sell to the obligor except on a C.O.D.
basis, all payments received by MEGTEC, any Designated Purchaser or Baldwin
Printing after the Closing Time shall be applied first against such obligor's
Receivable or Retained Receivable included in the Purchased Assets or Retained
Assets.

                         ARTICLE IX: EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

         SECTION 9.01 OFFERS AND CONTINUATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

         (a) At or prior to the Closing Time, (i) in the case of Baldwin Enkel
employees, MEGTEC will make offers of employment, effective as of the date of
Baldwin Enkel's completion of its undertakings pursuant to Section 8.12 hereof,
only with respect to such active Employees as determined by MEGTEC in its sole

to the Closing Time and who will be listed in EXHIBIT U hereto, (ii) in the case
of Baldwin Amal Employees, MEGTEC or its Designated Purchaser will make offers
of employment with respect to all Employees of Baldwin Amal as of the Closing
Time, and (iii) in the case of Baldwin Printing employees, MEGTEC or its
Designated Purchaser will cause Baldwin Printing to retain all employees,
subject, in each such case as to Employees of Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Printing,
to the requirements, if any, of applicable Legal Requirement, industry-wide
collectives and collective bargaining agreements. Employees of Baldwin Enkel who
accept such offer of employment with MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser, as the
case may be, and all of the employees of Baldwin Amal who

                                      108
<PAGE>   123
shall transfer to MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser, as the case may be, by
operation of Swedish law and all Employees of Baldwin Printing, are hereinafter
referred to collectively as "Transferred Employees." Except as otherwise
required by any Legal Requirement, such offers to certain active Baldwin Enkel
and all Baldwin Amal Employees will, provide as follows: (A) hourly rates of pay
or semi-monthly salary and benefits substantially similar to that paid or
provided to such Transferred Employees by Baldwin Enkel and Baldwin Amal on the
date hereof; (B) the opportunity to participate in the benefit plans listed in
EXHIBIT V hereto (or benefit plans substantially equivalent to such plans),
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such plans and as such terms
and conditions may be amended from time to time (collectively, the "MEGTEC
Benefit Plans"), (C) credit for all service with the Roll Handling Group for
purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under all of such
MEGTEC Benefit Plans; and (D) no exclusion for any preexisting condition in
respect of MEGTEC's employee medical and dental plans. Such offers of employment
or to retain employment shall terminate effective the close of business on the
day following the date on which the Closing occurs.

         (b) MEGTEC will not make offers of employment to those Employees of
Baldwin Enkel as determined by MEGTEC in its sole discretion, which at or prior
to Closing will be designated by MEGTEC in its sole discretion and listed in
EXHIBIT W hereto (collectively, the "Excluded Employees") or any Inactive
Employees of Baldwin Enkel on the date of the Closing.

         (c) No assets will be transferred from Baldwin Technology or Baldwin
Enkel to MEGTEC or from trustee to trustee on account of any Pension Plan or
Welfare Plan and Baldwin Technology will retain sole and exclusive control and
administration of the Pension Plans and Welfare Plans insofar as they relate to
Baldwin Enkel.

         (d) Nothing in this Section 9.01 or otherwise shall (i) create any
obligation on the part of MEGTEC to offer to employ any of the Employees of
Baldwin Enkel nor (ii) subject to applicable Legal Requirement, including
industry-wide collectives and collective bargaining agreements all of which are

                                      109
<PAGE>   124
disclosed in SCHEDULE 9.01(d), shall prevent MEGTEC, any Designated Purchaser or
Baldwin Printing from changing the terms or conditions of employment, including,
without limitation, amending, modifying or terminating any MEGTEC Benefit Plan,
at any time following the Closing Time.

         (e) Failure by MEGTEC or any Designated Purchaser to offer employment
to any Employee of Baldwin Enkel does not relieve Baldwin Technology of the
obligation to timely provide accurate and complete files and records to MEGTEC
which were previously the responsibility of Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Amal or
Baldwin Enkel.

         SECTION 9.02.     EMPLOYEE OBLIGATIONS.

termination of employment of any Roll Handling Group employee prior to the
Closing Time or any Excluded Employees or Inactive Employees after the Closing
Time and further including, without limitation, in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) the

Baldwin Entity, as a result of:

         (a) any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in or breach of any
representation or warranty made by Sequa or MEGTEC in this Agreement or any
Additional Document delivered by Sequa or MEGTEC;

                                      120
<PAGE>   135
         (b) any failure to perform or breach of any covenant or agreement made
by Sequa or MEGTEC in this Agreement or in any Additional Document delivered by
Sequa or MEGTEC;

         (c) any Assumed Obligations; or

         (d) any Continuing Obligations.

         SECTION 11.04. THIRD PARTY CLAIM PROCEDURES. If a MEGTEC Entity or
Baldwin Entity receives notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim in
respect of which such party may have a claim under Section 11.02 or 11.03
hereof, then the following shall apply:

         (a) The party against whom any such Third Party Claim is made (the
"Indemnified Party"), shall promptly provide written notice (an "Indemnity
Notice") of such Third Party Claim to the other party (the "Indemnifying
Party"). Such Indemnity Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of
the Third Party Claim and the basis for its claim under Section 11.02 or 11.03
hereof; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect a
party's rights under Section 11.02 or 11.03 hereof except to the extent the
other party is prejudiced by the failure to give such notice. An Indemnity
Notice by a party shall not preclude such party from giving subsequent Indemnity
Notices with respect to other claims, whether arising before or after the claims
for which such prior notice is given.

         (b) Upon receipt of an Indemnity Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to promptly assume, at its sole cost and expense, the defense or
settlement of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party has irrevocably agreed
in writing to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party in respect of
all Damages arising or resulting from such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying
Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnified Party of its intent to
enter into such agreement and assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim
and shall conduct the defense and/or settlement of such Third Party Claim
diligently and in good faith.

                                      121
<PAGE>   136
         (c) Notwithstanding Section 11.04(b) hereof, if (i) an Indemnified
Party is obligated to permit an insurer or other Third Party having liability
therefore to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim; or (ii) the Indemnifying
Party and Indemnified Party are both named parties in a Third Party Claim and
there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different
from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (iii) if
the Indemnifying Party fails, after reasonable notice from the Indemnified
Party, to diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim; or (iv)
after being requested to do so by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party
fails to provide the Indemnified Party with reasonable assurance of its
financial ability to satisfy its defense and indemnification obligations
hereunder, then, at the option of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim and the
Indemnified Party may, by written notice to the Indemnifying Party, reassume the
defense of any such Third Party Claim previously assumed by the Indemnifying
Party. No retention or re-assumption of any such defense by the Indemnified
Party shall prejudice any rights of the Indemnified Party under Section 11.02 or
11.03 hereof.

         (d) If the Indemnifying Party does not give written notice and assume
the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 11.04(b) hereof
or is not entitled to assume or retain the defense thereof, the Indemnified
Party shall have full and exclusive authority to defend and/or settle any such
Third Party Claim for the account of and at the sole risk, cost and expense of
the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party undertakes the defense and/or
settlement of any such Third Party Claim it shall do so diligently and in good
faith and the Indemnifying Party shall from time to time upon the request of the
Indemnified Party reimburse the Indemnified Party for the costs incurred by the
Indemnified Party in defending and/or settling such Third Party Claim. In such
event, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by settlement entered into by the
Indemnified Party to the extent that such settlement is commercially reasonably
measured in the context of the matter settled and by any judgment resulting from
such Third Party Claim.

                                      122
<PAGE>   137
         (e) The Parties agree that the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and
expense, may join the Indemnifying Party in any legal proceeding brought by the
third party asserting such Third Party Claim as to which any right under Section
11.02 or 11.03 hereof would or might apply, for the purpose of enforcing any
such right.

         (f) The Indemnifying Party shall not admit any liability, settle,
compromise, pay or discharge, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, any
Third Party Claim being defended by it unless with respect to any settlement (i)
the Indemnified Party is not obligated to perform or to refrain from performing
any act under such settlement and there is no encumbrance on any assets of the
Indemnified Party; (ii) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any
Legal Requirement, violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified
Party or any other liability of the Indemnified Party to any Person; and (iii)
the Indemnified Party receives, as a part of such settlement, a complete
release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.

         (g) The party controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim shall keep
the other party reasonably informed at all stages of the defense and/or
settlement of such Third Party Claim. The party not controlling the defense of
any such Third Party Claim shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense,
to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such Third Party Claim.
Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other in the defense and/or
settlement of any such Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, by
furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such
conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be
reasonably requested in connection therewith, but the Indemnifying Party will
reimburse the Indemnified Party for any fees or expenses incurred by it in so
cooperating or acting at the request of the Indemnifying Party.

         SECTION 11.05. LIMITATIONS. The rights to recover Damages under
Sections 11.02 and 11.03 hereof shall be subject to the following:

         (a) Any remedy of an MEGTEC Entity or Baldwin Entity hereunder shall be
determined without regard to whether or not the transactions

                                      123
<PAGE>   138
provided for in this Agreement prove generally to be favorable to a Party and
without regard to whether or not the facts and circumstances covered by any
representation, warranty or covenant prove to be more favorable to a Party than
so represented, warranted or covenanted.

         (b) The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant
contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached
any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the
fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to
the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which
the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the
Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

         (c) All representations, warranties and agreements made in this
Agreement, in any Additional Document and in the Schedules and any Supplements
shall be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by Baldwin
Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal, Baldwin Asia, or Sequa or MEGTEC, as
the case may be. As used in this Article XI, any reference to a representation,
warranty or covenant contained in any Section of this Agreement shall include
the Schedule and Supplements relating to such Section.

         (d) For purposes of this Article XI, a MEGTEC Entity or Baldwin Entity,
respectively shall be deemed to have suffered Damages if the same shall be
suffered by any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of such MEGTEC Entity or Baldwin
Entity.

         (e) The MEGTEC Entities shall not be entitled to recover Damages under
Section 11.02(a) hereof until the MEGTEC Entities collectively have incurred
Damages in excess of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the "Threshold
Amount") in which event, subject to Section 11.05(g) hereof, a MEGTEC Entity
shall be entitled to make a claim under Section 11.02(a) hereof for all Damages
incurred by the MEGTEC Entities, in excess of the Threshold Amount.

         (f) No MEGTEC Entity or Baldwin Entity shall be entitled to recover
Damages under Sections 11.02(a) or 11.03(a) hereof, as the case may

                                      124
<PAGE>   139
be, unless it shall make its claim therefor on or prior to the date on which the
relevant representation or warranty or covenant shall expire pursuant to Section
11.01 hereof and if, prior to the expiration of the representation or warranty
or covenant, a claim is made then the MEGTEC Entity or Baldwin Entity making
such claim shall not be precluded from pursuing such claim or otherwise in any
way prejudiced in respect of such claim by reason of the expiration of such
representation or warranty or covenant.

         (g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, in no event shall the Baldwin Entities have any liability for
indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(a) hereof in an aggregate amount in
excess of the Estimated Purchase Price.

         (h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the liability of any Baldwin Entity for indemnification under Section
11.02(a) hereof for:

                           (i) any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in or breach
                  of any representation or warranty of any Baldwin Entity
                  contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule or in any
                  Supplement or in any other Additional Document shall in any
                  such case be reduced if and to the extent that, and only to
                  the extent that, any of the individuals listed on SCHEDULE
                  1.04 had, at or prior to the Closing Time, actual knowledge of
                  such inaccuracy of misrepresentation or breach. In no event
                  shall knowledge be imputed or any defense whatsoever asserted
                  by any Baldwin Entity that any such individuals "could have
                  known" or "should have known". It is further acknowledged and
                  agreed that the Baldwin Entities shall have the burden or
                  proof with respect to establishing such actual knowledge and
                  that such actual knowledge may not be based upon allegations
                  of Sequa, MEGTEC or their Affiliates, including any Designated
                  Purchaser, having been orally informed by any current or
                  former employees of either Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Amal,
                  Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin

                                      125
<PAGE>   140
                  Printing or Baldwin Asia or their respective Affiliates of any
                  matter whatsoever; and

                           (ii) any failure to perform or breach of any covenant
                  or agreement made by any Baldwin Entity contained in this
                  Agreement shall in any such case be reduced if and to the
                  extent that, and only to the extent that, such failure to
                  perform or breach is described in reasonable detail in any
                  Additional Document.

         (i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the limitations contained in this Section 11.05 shall not in any
matter apply to Assumed Obligations, Continuing Obligations, Excluded
Liabilities or Indemnified Liabilities.

         SECTION 11.06.   ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATION.

                  (a) Subject to Section 11.06(c) hereof, Baldwin Technology and
its Affiliates hereby waive, release and agree not to make any claim or bring
any cost recovery action against Sequa, MEGTEC and any Designated Purchaser and
their respective Affiliates under CERCLA or any equivalent Legal Requirement now
existing or hereafter enacted with respect to any Excluded Liability or
Indemnified Liability.

                  (b) Sequa, MEGTEC and their respective Affiliates agree to
waive, release and agree not to make any claim or bring any cost recovery action
against Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia and
their respective Affiliates under any Environmental Laws, including but not
limited to, CERCLA or any equivalent Legal Requirement now existing or hereafter
enacted, provided, however, Sequa, MEGTEC and their respective Affiliates
reserve their respective rights, if any, to bring such a claim or cost recovery
action against Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia
and their respective Affiliates in the event but only to the extent that Baldwin
Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal or Baldwin Asia default on their
indemnification obligations under Section 11.02 with respect to any
Environmental Losses (as defined in Section 11.06(d)(i) hereof).

                                      126
<PAGE>   141
                  (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, no MEGTEC Entity shall be entitled to assert a claim or seek
indemnity or defense under this Agreement with respect to Environmental Losses
(as defined in Section 11.06(d)(i) hereof) arising out of the operation of or
assets of Baldwin Printing, the Shanghai Facility or the Amal Facility and
neither Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal, Baldwin Asia nor any of
their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to any MEGTEC Entity for
such Environmental Losses unless the claim is asserted prior to the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of
this Section 11.06(c) shall not in any manner whatsoever apply with respect to
either the Rockford Facility or any Former Facilities.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement:

                       (i) From and after the Closing Time, with respect to any
matter, Proceeding, Damage or other liability for which Baldwin Technology,
Baldwin Enkel, Baldwin Amal or Baldwin Asia ("Baldwin Indemnifying Parties") may
have any indemnification or other obligation under this Agreement arising out of
or relating to Environmental Laws or Hazardous Substances (including but not
limited to any such matters, Proceedings, Damages or liabilities that are
Continuing Obligations, Excluded Liabilities and/or Indemnified Liabilities)
(hereinafter referred to as "Environmental Losses") arising out of or relating
to the Amal Facility or the Shanghai Facility the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties
shall have the exclusive right (provided the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties
exercise such rights in a timely and diligent manner) to undertake at the
Baldwin Indemnifying Parties' sole cost and expense the following activities
with the prior written consent of Sequa, such consent not to be unreasonably

                       (ii) In order to assist the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties
to carry out their obligations under Article XI with respect to Environmental
Losses arising out of or relating to the Amal Facility or the Shanghai Facility,
the MEGTEC Entities shall cooperate with the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties,
including but not limited to providing the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties and
their agents, representatives, consultants and contractors continuing reasonable
access to (1) the affected property; (2) relevant documents (other than any such
documents that constitute confidential business information); and (3) personnel
who may be knowledgeable about the relevant environmental matter or property (in
each case without charge for any internal costs); provided, however, that the
Baldwin Indemnifying Parties shall provide the relevant MEGTEC Entity with

activities) prior to the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties or any of their agents,
representatives, consultants or contractors entering the relevant property; and
provided further that the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties shall not unreasonably
interfere with the relevant MEGTEC Entity's operations at the relevant property.
Any investigation, remediation, correction of noncompliance or other activities
to be conducted,

                                      128
<PAGE>   143
directed or performed by the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties at the Amal Facility
or the Shanghai Facility pursuant to this Section 11.06 shall be performed by an
independent third party environmental professional reasonably acceptable to the
MEGTEC Entities and the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties.

                       (iii) With respect to any Environmental Loss at the Amal
Facility or the Shanghai Facility for which the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties may
have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement which requires action by
the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties and the reasonable consent of the MEGTEC
Entities or the agreement of the MEGTEC Entities and the Baldwin Indemnifying
Parties pursuant to this Section 11.06(d), the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties
shall notify the MEGTEC Entities in writing of the action the Baldwin
Indemnifying Parties propose to take, setting forth with particularity the
nature of such action, the identity of the individual or firm proposed to
perform such action (if applicable), the proposed time frame for commencing and
completing such action (including mileposts for interim activities), and the
estimated cost associated with such action, to the extent estimable (each such
action, an "Environmental Response Proposal"). The Baldwin Indemnifying Parties
shall provide the MEGTEC Entities with copies of sampling data, environmental
reports, proposals and correspondence in the possession of the Baldwin
Indemnifying Parties relevant to the subject matter of the Environmental
Response Proposal. The MEGTEC Entities shall within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of the Environmental Response Proposal, notify the Baldwin Indemnifying
Parties in writing that the MEGTEC Entities, in whole or in part, approve or
object to such Environmental Response Proposal. The MEGTEC Entities agree that
their approval of an Environmental Response Proposal shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In the event the MEGTEC Entities object, in whole or in part, to an
Environmental Response Proposal, the MEGTEC Entities shall notify the Baldwin
Indemnifying Parties in writing of their specific disagreement regarding such
Environmental Response Proposal and the MEGTEC Entities shall propose an
alternative response action, within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of notice
of the Environmental Response Proposal ("Dispute Notification"). In the event
the

                                      129
<PAGE>   144
MEGTEC Entities fail to approve or object to a Environmental Response Proposal
within fifteen (15) days after their receipt thereof, the Environmental Response
Proposal shall be deemed approved.

                       (iv) In the event the MEGTEC Entities object to an
Environmental Response Proposal or any portion thereof, under Section
11.06(c)(iii) hereof, the Parties shall thereafter negotiate in good faith in an
attempt to reach agreement as to the disputed Environmental Response Proposal.
In the event the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within forty-five
(45) days after the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties' receipt of a Dispute
Notification, either the MEGTEC Entities or the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties may
provide written notice to the other of its intent to submit the matter to the
dispute resolution procedures specified in Section 11.11(b) hereof.

                       (v) To the extent the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties
decline or fail to exercise their rights or perform their obligations under this
Section 11.06 in a diligent and timely manner, the MEGTEC Entities, upon written
notice to the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties, shall have the right to control,
direct and perform the relevant investigation or remediation or correct the
relevant noncompliance, provided the procedures in this Section 11.06 shall be
complied with, substituting in each case (other than payment obligations) the
MEGTEC Entities for the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties and vice versa, except if
the time frames specified herein are required to be shortened to avoid
non-compliance with Environmental Law or the requirements of a Governmental
Authority.

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, no MEGTEC Entity shall be entitled to claim or seek indemnity or
defense from any Baldwin Indemnifying Party for any Environmental Losses where
the Environmental Losses result from or would not have arisen but for any
intrusive investigation or disclosure by any MEGTEC Entity, unless such
investigation or disclosure was: (1) required by applicable Environmental Laws;
(2) required by a Governmental Authority; (3) performed in connection with the
discovery of Hazardous Substances during or as a result of any stage of a

                                      130
<PAGE>   145
proposed or actual facility expansion or renovation; (4) performed in connection
with an unaffiliated third party offer received after the Closing Time to
purchase or lease any of the real property subject to this transaction or the
business or assets or share capital of MEGTEC, any Designated Purchaser or any
of their respective Affiliates; (5) required, in the good faith belief of the
relevant MEGTEC Entity, to respond to an emergency situation to protect human
health or safety; (6) required by insurers, lenders, prospective purchasers or
underwriters; (7) conducted pursuant to the relevant MEGTEC Entity's
environmental compliance policy; or (8) performed in connection with any other
commercially reasonable business purpose including in response to the
recommendation of outside environmental legal counsel (other than for the sole
intent and purpose of triggering an indemnification obligation of the Baldwin
Indemnifying Parties under Article XI hereof).

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties' indemnification obligations under
this Article XI with respect to Environmental Losses at the Amal Facility and
the Shanghai Facility are limited to the lowest cost response action acceptable
(1) under Environmental Laws and (2) to applicable Governmental Authorities,
including but not limited to site-specific, risk-based standards or the use of
engineering or institutional controls, based on the current or similar
industrial use of the relevant property, provided, however, the Baldwin
Indemnifying Parties may not implement the lowest response action if such action
or controls could be reasonably expected to unreasonably or materially
interferes with the relevant MEGTEC Entity's industrial use of the property
(including any actual renovations or expansions implemented by the relevant
MEGTEC Entity prior to expiration of the time periods specified in Sections
11.01 or 11.06(c) hereof, as the case may be).

                  (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Environmental Losses incurred by the MEGTEC Entities for which the
Baldwin Indemnifying Parties have an indemnification obligation under Article XI
hereof shall include all out-of-pocket expenses and costs of the relevant

                                      131
<PAGE>   146
MEGTEC Entity that arise directly out of any interference in the relevant MEGTEC
Entity's operations caused by an environmental response action or engineering
control implemented or imposed by the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties pursuant to
their indemnification obligation with respect to Environmental Losses under
Article XI hereof, provided, however, Environmental Losses shall not include
expenses, costs or profits associated with future, potential or contingent sales
or revenues but shall include all such expenses, costs or profits associated
with the existing accepted customer orders which may be materially or
unreasonably impacted, provided further, that the MEGTEC Entities shall
undertake commercially reasonable steps to minimize any such Environmental
Losses, provided such steps do not unreasonably interfere with the business or
operations of the MEGTEC Entities. Any such Environmental Losses payable to the
MEGTEC Entities shall be net of any insurance recovery, provided that nothing in
this Section 11.06(g) shall be construed to require the MEGTEC Entities to seek
to obtain, to obtain or hold any such insurance.

         SECTION 11.07. SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. The specific remedies under
this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for the
recovery of money damages for any breach by any other Party of its respective
representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations set forth in this
Agreement or made or given in a certificate or document delivered pursuant
hereto. The terms of this Section 11.07 shall not be construed as limiting in
any way whatsoever any remedy other than for the recovery of money damages to
which any such Party may be entitled.

         SECTION 11.08. COVENANT TO MAINTAIN INSURANCE. Baldwin Technology shall
maintain in effect, for a period of at least three (3) years following the
Closing, one or more policies of insurance to insure against damages to person
or property which are included in the Excluded Liabilities listed in Sections
2.05(e) and 2.05(o) hereof and Indemnified Liabilities listed in Sections
2.11(d) and 2.11(n) hereof, retained by Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel,
Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent such
risks are currently insured against, provided, however, such insurance shall (i)
be primary

                                      132
<PAGE>   147
insurance and exclusive of any insurance of MEGTEC or its Affiliates; (ii) not
require contribution by MEGTEC or its Affiliates; and (iii) name MEGTEC and its
Affiliates as additional insured and waive subrogation against MEGTEC or its
Affiliates and their insurers.

         SECTION 11.09. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the
provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific
terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that
the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this
Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any
court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the
Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be
entitled, at law or in equity.

         SECTION 11.10.   ATTORNEY FEES.

         (a) If any Party to this Agreement shall bring any action for any
relief against any other Party, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this
Agreement, the losing Party or Parties shall pay to the prevailing Party or
Parties a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees incurred in bringing or defending
such action and/or enforcing any judgment granted therein, all of which shall be
deemed to have accrued upon the commencement of such action and shall be paid
whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. To so recover, it shall
not be necessary that the prevailing Party or Parties prevail in each and every
one of its or their claims. Rather, the amount of the award of attorneys' fees
shall, in the court's discretion, reflect the degree to which the prevailing
Party or Parties has or have prevailed in some of its or their claims. Any
judgment or order entered in such action shall contain a specific provision
providing for the recovery of attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing
such judgment. For the purposes of this Section 11.10(a), attorneys' fees shall
include, without limitation, fees incurred in the following: (i) post judgment
motions; (ii) contempt

                                      133
<PAGE>   148
proceedings; (iii) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examination;
(iv) discovery; and (v) bankruptcy litigation.

         (b) Attorneys' fees incurred by any Party in enforcing any judgment on
any action brought to resolve any controversy arising under this Agreement, to
enforce any of its terms or for the breach of this Agreement, shall be
recoverable by the prevailing Party or Parties. Such right to post judgment
attorneys' fees shall be separate and distinct from the right to recover
attorneys' fees pursuant to Section 11.10(a) hereof. The provisions of this
Section 11.10(b) shall be severable from all other provisions of this Agreement,
shall survive any judgment and shall not be deemed merged into any judgment.

         SECTION 11.11 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

         (a) Except as provided in Sections 3.04(c) and 11.11(b) hereof, each of
the Parties hereby irrevocably consents and agrees that any action, suit or
proceeding arising in connection with any disagreement, dispute, controversy or
claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related document (for
purposes of this Section 11.11(a), a "Legal Dispute") shall be brought only to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New
York City, Borough of Manhattan or the Federal District Court, Southern District
of New York, New York City, Borough of Manhattan. The Parties agree that, after
a Legal Dispute is before a court as specified in this Section 11.11(a) and
during the pendency of such Legal Dispute before such court, all actions, suits,
or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute,
including, without limitation, any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader,
shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each of the
Parties hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any legal
dispute, that such Party is not subject thereto or that such action, suit, or
proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court or that such
Party's property is exempt or immune from execution, that the action, suit or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the action,
suit, or proceeding is improper. Each Party hereto agrees that a final judgment
in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 11.11(a) after the
expiration of any period

                                      134
<PAGE>   149
permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by applicable laws.

         (b) In the case of any claim under, or any other dispute arising out
of, Section 11.06 hereof for any Environmental Losses or Damages with respect to
which either the relevant MEGTEC Entity or the Baldwin Indemnifying Parties
provide notice to the other of its or their intent to submit the matter to
dispute resolution pursuant to Section 11.06(d)(iii), the matter shall be
submitted to arbitration before a mutually acceptable arbitrator, and if the
MEGTEC Entity and Baldwin Technology are unable so to choose an arbitrator, the
matter shall be submitted before an arbitrator selected in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be held in
the City of New York, New York in accordance with, and subject to the rules of,
the American Arbitration Association. The Parties hereto agree to be bound by
the decision of the arbitrator.

         SECTION 12.04 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Each Party's right of
termination under Sections 12.01, 12.02, or 12.03 hereof, as the case may be, is

with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relative to said
subject matter, including, without limitation, the Offer Letter dated January
31, 2001 and the Confidentiality Agreement dated September 5, 2000 by and
between Sequa and Baldwin Technology.

         SECTION 13.03 ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder shall be transferred or assigned (by
operation of law or otherwise) by any of the Parties hereto without the prior
written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that MEGTEC shall have
the right to assign its rights hereunder to any Designated Purchaser or other
Affiliate of MEGTEC or any Person that acquires any of the business and assets
of MEGTEC pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement where such

                                      138
<PAGE>   153
assignee duly and effectively assumes all of the obligations of MEGTEC hereby
and is deemed to have made all of the representations and warranties made by
MEGTEC herein by instrument reasonably satisfactory to Baldwin Technology. Any
such assignment shall not release either Sequa or MEGTEC from its obligations
hereunder, and Sequa and MEGTEC guarantee to Baldwin Technology, Baldwin Enkel,
Baldwin Amal and Baldwin Asia the performance by each Designated Purchaser of
its obligations hereunder and under the instrument of such Designated Purchaser

such assignee may enforce any right or benefit assigned to it as if it had been
named in this Agreement as MEGTEC, and, in the case of an assignee which is an
Affiliate of MEGTEC, may recover thereunder as if it had acquired the Purchased
Assets or retained the Retained Assets. Any transfer or assignment of any of the
rights, interests or obligations hereunder in violation of the terms hereof
shall be void and of no force or effect.

hereto, and no waiver of any of the provisions or conditions of this Agreement
or any of the rights of a Party hereto shall be effective or binding unless such
waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Party claimed to have given or
consented thereto. Except to the extent that a Party hereto may have otherwise
agreed in writing, no waiver by that Party of any condition of this Agreement or
breach by the other Party of any of its obligations or representations hereunder
shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other condition or subsequent or prior
breach of the same or any other obligation or representation by the other Party,
