PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
Under Delaware law, a corporation may include provisions in its certificate
of incorporation that will relieve its directors of monetary liability for
breaches of their fiduciary duty to the corporation, except under certain
circumstances, including a breach of the director's duty of loyalty, acts or
omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the approval of an improper payment of
a dividend or an improper purchase by the corporation of stock or any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the
Registrant's directors are not liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty, subject to the described
exceptions specified by Delaware law.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants to the
Registrant the power to indemnify each officer and director of the Registrant
against liabilities and expenses incurred by reason of the fact that he is or
was an officer or director of the Registrant if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The By-laws of the
Registrant provide for indemnification of each officer and director of the
Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Messrs. David J.
Butters and Robert B. Millard, employees of Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman"),
constitute two of the eight members of the Board of Directors of the Registrant.
Under the restated certificates of incorporation, as amended to date, of Lehman
and its parent, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), both Delaware
corporations, Messrs. Butters and Millard, in their capacity as directors of the
Registrant, are to be indemnified by Lehman and Holdings to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law. Messrs. Butters and Millard are serving as directors
of the Registrant at the request of Lehman and Holdings.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also empowers the
Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was an officer or director of the Registrant against liability asserted against
or incurred by him in any such capacity, whether or not the Registrant would
have the power to indemnify such officer or director against such liability
under the provisions of Section 145. The Registrant has purchased and maintains
a directors' and officers' liability policy for such purposes. Messrs. Butters
and Millard are insured against certain liabilities which they may incur in
their capacity as directors pursuant to insurance maintained by Holdings.
Under the terms of the Agreement dated December 12, 1997, as amended, by
and among the Registrant, Christiana Companies, Inc. ("Christiana"), Total
Logistic Control, LLC ("Logistic") and C2, Inc., Logistic and C2 have agreed to
indemnify the directors and officers of the Registrant for any liability
relating to any claim or damage by any stockholder of Christiana or EVI with
respect to the Merger or the Logistic Sale or the transactions relating thereto,
including any claims and liabilities arising under the securities laws and
claims with respect to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

* Filed herewith.
** Previously filed.
As permitted by Item 601(b)(4)(iii)(A) of Regulation S-K, the Registrant
has not filed with this Registration Statement certain instruments defining the
rights of holders of long-term debt of the Registrant and its subsidiaries
because the total amount of securities authorized under any of such instruments
does not exceed 10% of the total assets of the Registrant and its subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis. The Registrant agrees to furnish a copy of any such
agreements to the Securities and Exchange Commission upon request.
ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) Prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered
hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration
statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within
the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering
prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable
registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed
underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items
of the applicable form; and
(2) Every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1)
immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of
section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, and is used in connection with an
offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an
amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such
amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed
II-5
8
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the
date of responding to the request.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.
