3.4 Exchange of Certificates; Payment Procedures.

(a) At least ten (10) days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Buyer as an agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the benefit of Company Stockholders and Shadow Stockholders for the purpose of (i) exchanging, pursuant to this Article 3, certificates representing the Company Shares (the “Certificates”), (ii) distributing Cash Consideration and (iii) distributing Newco Shares in connection with the Spin Off. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall make available to and deposit with the Exchange Agent (1) an amount sufficient to permit the Exchange Agent to pay the Aggregate Consideration to be paid in respect of Company Shares and Shadow Stock Units (other than Shadow Stock Units held by U.S. Shadow Stock Sellers) pursuant to this Article 3 less the sum of (I) the Escrow Amount plus (II) the Debt Financing Shortfall Amount, (2) a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Merger Rolling Stockholder Stock, Buyer Parent Special Voting Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock (the “Exchange Shares”) issuable in exchange for Company Shares pursuant to this Article 3, and (3) Option Agreements, executed by Buyer Parent, with respect to the Buyer Parent Options issuable in exchange for Company Stock Rights pursuant to this Article 3 (the “Exchange Fund”), and except as contemplated by Section 3.4(e), Section 3.4(g) or Section 3.6, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Buyer shall deposit into the Exchange Fund from time to time any additional Cash Consideration necessary for payments in lieu of fractional Buyer Parent Securities pursuant to Section 3.4(i). The Exchange Agent shall invest the Cash Consideration in the Exchange Fund as directed by the Buyer on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payments of the Cash Consideration as contemplated hereby, Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Exchange Fund lost through investments or other events and necessary to ensure that the Exchange Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.

(b) At or prior to the Exchange Date, the Company shall prepare (in consultation and cooperation with Buyer) and deliver to Buyer a certificate (the “Funding Consideration Schedule”), which certificate shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, that sets forth with respect to each Company Stockholder and Shadow Stockholder a correct and complete list of (i) all outstanding Company Common Shares, Company Class A Non-Voting Common Shares, Company Class B Common Shares and Company Class B Non-Voting Common Shares held by each such Person (as of immediately prior to each of (1) the effective

time of the Exchanges, (2) the effective time of the Acceleration and (3) the Effective Time), (ii) all outstanding Company Stock Rights, including the grant date, the exercise price pursuant to Section 14 of the Stock Rights Plan and the vesting period for each such stock right, held by each such Person (as of immediately prior to each of (1) the effective time of the Exchanges, (2) the effective time of the Acceleration and (3) the Effective Time), (iii) all outstanding French Free Share Rights, including the grant date, the vesting period and the exercise price, if any, for such French Free Share Rights held by each such Person (as of immediately prior to the Acceleration), (iv) all outstanding Shadow Stock Units, including the grant date, the vesting period, the Shadow Stock Vested Payment and the Shadow Stock Unexercised Payment, if any, for such Shadow Stock Units held by each such Person (as of immediately prior to the Acceleration), (v) the Acceleration Exercise Price that is payable to the Company by each such Person (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time), and (vi) the form and amount of each type of Exchange Equity, Merger Consideration and/or Cash Consideration to be issued or paid to such Person pursuant to Article 3 and Section 8.9, as the case may be. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time but not later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of Certificates and Shadow Stock Units a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall (i) be in customary form, and (ii) in respect of holders of Certificates, specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent), for use in the exchange contemplated by this Section 3.4; provided, however, that Buyer shall cooperate with the Company prior to the Effective Time to permit Company Stockholders and Shadow Stockholders the opportunity to surrender duly executed letters of transmittal at the Closing. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, an acknowledgment by the holder of the appointment of the Seller Representative pursuant to Section 13.10, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor, the Merger Consideration (without any interest thereon), as provided in this Article 3 in respect of the Company Shares represented by the Certificate (and such holder’s Company Stock Rights); provided that the portion of the Cash Consideration payable pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) (after giving effect to any deductions under Section 3.4(g)) will be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) such holder’s Escrow Percentage (provided that for the purposes of payments made under this Section 3.4(b) only, the Escrow Percentage of any Company Stockholder who is also a Shadow Stockholder shall be zero) of the Escrow Amount and (y) such holder’s DPO Percentage of the Debt Financing Shortfall Amount; provided, further, that (i) certificates representing Buyer Parent Restricted Stock shall be delivered to and held by the Company secretary pursuant to the Buyer Parent Rollover Stock Plan and (ii) no such certificates shall be issued or delivered prior to June 15, 2008. Cash Consideration payable to any holder of Company Shares shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such holder in the applicable letter of transmittal. Merger Consideration in the form of shares shall be paid by issuance of a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Merger Rolling Stockholder Stock, Buyer Parent Special Voting Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Company Shares formerly represented by such Certificate (and such holder’s Company Stock Rights). Merger Consideration in the form of Buyer Parent Options shall be paid by execution by Buyer Parent and delivery of the applicable Option Agreement with respect to the applicable number of Option Shares at the applicable exercise price. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.4, each Certificate

shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Shadow Stock Units shall cease to have any rights with respect to Company Shares or Shadow Stock Units, except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Law, including the right to receive a pro rata share of amounts to be released from the Escrow Accounts to Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and paid to the Sellers pursuant to Section 3.11. As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the Company’s stock transfer books. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 3.4.

(d) If payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of Company Shares is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and, if payment of the Merger Consideration and Cash Consideration in respect of Certificates or Shadow Stock Units is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name such Certificate, unit or right is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable.

(e) Upon the request of the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the Surviving Corporation any portion of the Merger Consideration and Cash Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 3.4 that remains undistributed to Company Stockholders and Shadow Stockholders twelve (12) months after the Effective Time. Holders of Certificates and Shadow Stock Units who have not complied with this Section 3.4 prior to the demand by the Surviving Corporation shall thereafter look only to Buyer and the Surviving Corporation for payment of any claim to the Merger Consideration and Cash Consideration (without any interest thereon).

(f) None of Merger Sub, Buyer Parent, Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Company Shares and Shadow Stock Units (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Each of the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Cash Consideration or amounts otherwise payable hereunder to any Person any amounts that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any applicable provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax Law or any Acceleration Exercise Price that is payable by such Person to the Surviving Corporation. To the extent that the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent withholds such amounts with respect to a Seller and properly

remits such withheld amounts to the applicable Taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to such Seller.

(h) If any Certificate has been or is claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming that a Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, and, if required by the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, the execution by any such Person of an indemnity agreement, the Exchange Agent will deliver to such Person in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the proper amount and form of the Merger Consideration.

(i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Buyer Parent Common Stock, Buyer Parent Special Voting Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Buyer Parent Common Stock, Buyer Parent Special Voting Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to any rights of a stockholder of Buyer Parent. In lieu thereof, Company Stockholders otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share of Buyer Parent Common Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive, concurrently with his or her receipt of the remainder of the applicable Merger Consideration, a cash payment equal to (i) $100.00 multiplied by (ii) the fraction of a share of Buyer Parent Common Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock to which such holder was otherwise entitled.

(j) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Buyer Parent Common Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Buyer Parent Common Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock represented thereby unless and until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Buyer Parent Common Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) concurrently with the payment of the applicable Merger Consideration, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Parent Common Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Parent Common Stock or Buyer Parent Restricted Stock.

(b) Subject to Section 3.12, upon surrender by the Persons set forth on Section 3.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Shadow Stockholders”) to the Exchange Agent of a

duly executed letter of transmittal, an acknowledgment by the Shadow Stockholder of the appointment of the Seller Representative pursuant to Section 13.10, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Exchange Agent, such Shadow Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor, an amount equal to (A) an amount equal to the Full Cash Amount multiplied by the number of units set forth for such person on Section 3.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, including both vested units and unexercised units (all such units, “Shadow Stock Units”), minus (B) an amount (together with such amounts for other Shadow Stockholders, including U.S. Shadow Stock Sellers, the “Aggregate Shadow Stock Deductions”) equal to the sum of (1) the amount set forth on Section 3.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule as the “Shadow Unexercised Payment” due from such Shadow Stockholder and (2) the amount equal to such Shadow Stockholder’s “Shadow Vested Payment” due, calculated in accordance with Section 3.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, taking into account the Closing Date; provided, however, that such payment will be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) such Shadow Stockholder’s Escrow Percentage of the Escrow Amount and (y) such Shadow Stockholder’s DPO Percentage of the Debt Financing Shortfall Amount; provided, further, that such amount shall be calculated and payable in accordance with Section 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.9, 3.10 or 3.11 or Articles 10 and 11, as applicable. Such amounts payable to such Shadow Stockholder pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such holder in the applicable letter of transmittal. Until the letter of transmittal is surrendered as contemplated by Section 3.4, each Shadow Stock Unit shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Cash Consideration in accordance with Sections 3.4 and 3.5.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amounts payable under Section 3.4 or this Section 3.5 shall not be considered Indebtedness or any other liability of the Company for purposes of Section 3.7.

(d) As of the Effective Time, the Shadow Stock program shall terminate. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that, after the Effective Time, no Shadow Stock Units are outstanding and no Newco Employees or Company Employees are entitled to Shadow Stock Units, including making any necessary amendments to the Shadow Stock program to allow the treatment of the Shadow Stock Units contemplated in this Agreement or obtaining any necessary consents from the Shadow Stockholders.

3.6 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by Persons who shall have properly demanded in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance, and who comply in all respects, with Section 262 (or any successor provision) of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided hereunder and shall only be entitled to such rights and consideration as are granted by Section 262 (or any successor provision) of the DGCL. Such Persons shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 (or any successor provision) of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Shares held by Persons who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 (or any successor provision) of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Article 3 hereof as of the

Effective Time or the occurrence of such failure, withdrawal or loss, whichever occurs later. The Company shall give Buyer (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, any attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal under the DGCL, in each case, received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any such demand. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of Company Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Buyer upon demand.

3.7 Aggregate Consideration Adjustments.

(a) Not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing, the Company shall prepare (in consultation and cooperation with Buyer) and deliver to Buyer a certificate that sets forth the Company’s good faith estimate (together with reasonably detailed back-up data to support such estimate) of (i) the Closing Date Indebtedness, which estimate shall adjust automatically without any further action required by the Parties hereto prior to the Effective Time if necessary to reflect the Revolver Amount applicable to any Existing Credit Facility to the extent included in the Excluded Liabilities (such estimate, the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”), (ii) the Working Capital Adjustment (such estimate, the “Estimated Working Capital Adjustment”), (iii) the Restricted Cash Shortfall (such estimate, the “Estimated Restricted Cash Shortfall”) and (iv) the Pre-Closing Taxes, which amount may not be less than zero (such estimate, which shall state the amount of Indemnification Available Excluded Deductions taken into account in such estimate and shall include a copy of the Valuation Opinion referred to in Section 10.6, the “Estimated Pre-Closing Taxes”). Subject to the remainder of this Section 3.7, the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment, the Estimated Pre-Closing Taxes and the Estimated Restricted Cash Shortfall shall be determined and prepared in accordance with the methodologies for preparing the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Final Working Capital Adjustment, the Final Pre-Closing Taxes and the Final Restricted Cash Shortfall.

(b) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a statement setting forth the Surviving Corporation’s calculation of (i) the Closing Date Indebtedness, (ii) the Restricted Cash Shortfall and (iii) the Pre-Closing Taxes. “Closing Date Indebtedness” means the Indebtedness of the Company, the U.S. Government Subsidiaries and any other Company Subsidiary as of the Closing on a consolidated basis, in each case solely to the extent not included in the Assumed Liabilities, after giving effect to the Contribution, the Sale and the Spin Off but without giving effect to the Financing or Alternative Financing, all as determined and prepared in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles. The “Restricted Cash Shortfall” means an amount (which may be a positive or negative number) equal to bonus payments accrued or deemed to accrue as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.8, together with all amounts accrued or deemed to accrue as of the Closing Date under the Company’s ECAP for all prior periods pursuant to Section 6.8, all related fringe benefit amounts and all Employment and Withholding Taxes in respect of the foregoing, in each case solely to the extent not included in the Assumed Liabilities, minus the amount (the “Restricted Cash”) of cash on hand in bank accounts (reduced by the amount of outstanding checks and other negotiable instruments) located within the United

States of, and immediately available to, the Company to the extent included in Excluded Assets as of the Closing, after giving effect to the Contribution, the Sale and the Spin Off but without giving effect to the Financing or Alternative Financing, all as determined in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles. For purposes of determining the Estimated Restricted Cash Shortfall, Restricted Cash will exclude any estimate of any payments pursuant to the Spin Off Agreement as a result of Estimated NAV Transfer Amount exceeding the Final NAV Transfer Amount. For purposes of determining the Final Restricted Cash Shortfall, Restricted Cash will be deemed to include the amount of any payment made pursuant to the Spin Off Agreement as a result of Estimated NAV Transfer Amount exceeding the Final NAV Transfer Amount. During such ninety (90)-day period, Seller Representative shall provide the Surviving Corporation reasonable access to the Seller Representative’s personnel, auditors, properties, and records relevant to the calculation of the Closing Date Indebtedness and the Restricted Cash Shortfall (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested).

(c) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, Surviving Corporation shall prepare and deliver to Seller Representative a statement setting forth the Surviving Corporation’s calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment. The “Working Capital Adjustment” means an amount (which amount may be positive or negative) equal to the Closing Date Working Capital minus the applicable target Closing Date Working Capital set forth on Schedule 1.1(e). “Closing Date Working Capital” means (i) the assets set forth on Schedule 1.1(e) to the extent included in the Excluded Assets as of the Effective Time, minus (ii) the liabilities of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 1.1(e) and liabilities for Company Transaction Expenses, in each case, to the extent not included in the Assumed Liabilities, as of the Effective Time, after giving effect to the Contribution, the Sale and the Spin Off but without giving effect to the Financing or Alternative Financing (except with respect to the Increased Financing Costs) and as determined and prepared in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles and minus (iii) the estimated Accrued Liability Amounts determined pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Employee Matters Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the assets and liabilities taken into account in calculating the Closing Date Working Capital shall not include (i) Restricted Cash or assets relating to the NAV Transfer Amount or (ii) Indebtedness, liabilities relating to the NAV Transfer Amount or liabilities included in the calculation of the Restricted Cash Shortfall, respectively. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, liabilities or obligations with respect to which checks or other negotiable instruments are outstanding shall be excluded from the calculation of Closing Date Indebtedness, Restricted Cash Shortfall, Pre-Closing Taxes, and Closing Date Working Capital to the extent the amounts of such checks and other negotiable instruments have reduced Restricted Cash in the calculation of the Restricted Cash Shortfall.

(d) The Seller Representative shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the statement referred to in Section 3.7(b) and Section 3.7(c), respectively, to deliver to Surviving Corporation a written notice (a “Notice of Dispute”) that the Seller Representative disputes Surviving Corporation’s calculation of any of the amounts or any portion of the amounts set forth in the applicable statement, which Notice of Dispute shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for each element of such dispute; provided that any such Notice of Dispute must be limited to one or more allegations that the statement referred to in Section 3.7(b) or Section 3.7(c), as the case may be, (i) contained mathematical errors or (ii) was not prepared in accordance with Section 3.7(b) or Section 3.7(c), as applicable. If the Seller Representative does not deliver a

Notice of Dispute on or before the expiration of the applicable thirty (30)-day period (or if the Seller Representative notifies Surviving Corporation in writing that there is no such dispute), the calculations prepared by Surviving Corporation shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive (provided that the calculation of Pre-Closing Taxes will be deemed final solely for purposes of this Section 3.7). In the event the Seller Representative delivers a Notice of Dispute with respect to only certain of the amounts or certain portions of the amounts set forth in the applicable statement but not others, then any undisputed amount or portion thereof shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive. In the event the Seller Representative delivers a Notice of Dispute to Surviving Corporation, then the Seller Representative and Surviving Corporation shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible. During the aforementioned thirty (30)-day periods, Surviving Corporation shall provide the Seller Representative reasonable access to Surviving Corporation’s personnel, properties and records relevant to the calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment, the Closing Date Indebtedness, Pre-Closing Taxes and the Restricted Cash Shortfall, as applicable (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested).

(e) In the event that Surviving Corporation and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve all such disagreements on or before the thirtieth (30^th) calendar day following the delivery of the last received Notice of Dispute, Surviving Corporation and the Seller Representative shall retain a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm upon whom Surviving Corporation and the Seller Representative mutually agree (such accounting firm being referred to as the “Accounting Firm”), to resolve all such disagreements. The Accounting Firm may only resolve disagreements as to matters covered by the Notice of Dispute in accordance with Section 3.7(d). All matters not properly covered by the Notice of Dispute shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive (provided that the calculation of Pre-Closing Taxes will be deemed final solely for purposes of this Section 3.7). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on both the Seller Representative and Surviving Corporation absent manifest error (provided that the calculation of Pre-Closing Taxes will be deemed final solely for purposes of this Section 3.7). Each of Surviving Corporation and the Seller Representative shall promptly provide their assertions regarding the Working Capital Adjustment, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Restricted Cash Shortfall and the Pre-Closing Taxes, as the case may be, in writing to the Accounting Firm and to each other. Surviving Corporation and the Seller Representative shall each pay the fees and disbursements of their respective internal and independent accountants and other personnel incurred in the initial preparation, review and final determination of the Working Capital Adjustment, the Closing Date Indebtedness and the Restricted Cash Shortfall, as the case may be. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Accounting Firm shall be borne pro rata as between the Seller Representative, on the one hand, and Surviving Corporation, on the other, in proportion to the allocation of the dollar value of the amounts in dispute between the Seller Representative and Surviving Corporation made by the Accounting Firm such that the party prevailing on the greater dollar value of such disputes pays the lesser proportion of the fees and expenses. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to render its determination as soon as reasonably possible (which the parties hereto agree should not be later than ninety (90) days following the day on which the disagreement is referred to the Accounting Firm). The Accounting Firm shall conduct its determination activities in a manner wherein all materials submitted to it are held in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any Third Parties (other than any designated authorized representative of a party). The Accounting Firm shall base its

determination solely on the written submissions of the parties and shall not conduct an independent investigation. The parties agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the “Final Working Capital Adjustment” (which amount may be a positive or negative number) shall mean the Working Capital Adjustment as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.7, (ii) “Final Closing Date Indebtedness” shall mean the Closing Date Indebtedness as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.7, (iii) the “Final Restricted Cash Shortfall” (which amount may be a positive or negative number) shall mean the Restricted Cash Shortfall as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.7, and (iv) “Final Pre-Closing Taxes” shall mean the final estimation of Pre-Closing Taxes solely for purposes of, and determined in accordance with, this Section 3.7.

(g) Upon final determination of the Final Working Capital Adjustment:

(i) if the Final Working Capital Adjustment exceeds the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment, subject to Section 3.12, Buyer shall cause the Company to deliver the amount of such difference to the Exchange Agent to distribute to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Escrow Percentages; or

(ii) if the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment exceeds the Final Working Capital Adjustment, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Buyer (or at Buyer’s direction, to the Company) the amount of such difference from the Working Capital Escrow Account.

(h) Upon final determination of the Final Closing Date Indebtedness:

(i) if the Final Closing Date Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Buyer (or at Buyer’s direction, to the Company) the amount of such difference from the Working Capital Escrow Account; or

(ii) if the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness exceeds the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, subject to Section 3.12, Buyer shall cause the Company to deliver the amount of such difference to the Exchange Agent to distribute to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Escrow Percentages.

(i) Upon final determination of the Final Restricted Cash Shortfall:

(i) if the Estimated Restricted Cash Shortfall exceeds the Final Restricted Cash Shortfall, subject to Section 3.12, Buyer shall cause the Company to deliver the amount of such difference to the Exchange Agent to distribute to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Escrow Percentages; or

(ii) if the Final Restricted Cash Shortfall exceeds the Estimated Restricted Cash Shortfall, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow

Agent to distribute to Buyer (or at Buyer’s direction, to the Company) the amount of such difference from the Working Capital Escrow Account.

(j) Upon final determination of the Final Pre-Closing Taxes (it being understood that such determination does not finally determine the amount of Pre-Closing Taxes for any purposes of this Agreement other than the adjustment in this Section 3.7(j)):

(i) if the Estimated Pre-Closing Taxes exceeds the Final Pre-Closing Taxes, subject to Section 3.12, Buyer shall cause the Company to deliver the amount of such difference to the Exchange Agent to distribute to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Escrow Percentages; or

(ii) if the Final Pre-Closing Taxes exceeds the Estimated Pre-Closing Taxes, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Buyer (or at Buyer’s direction, to the Company) the amount of such difference from the Working Capital Escrow Account.

(k) The payments to be made under Sections 3.7(g), (h), (i) and (j) shall only be made once all of the Final Working Capital Adjustment, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Final Restricted Cash Shortfall and the Final Pre-Closing Taxes have been finally determined (and shall be made within two (2) Business Days of such time) and shall be netted against each other as appropriate. If after taking into account (i) the payments to be made under Sections 3.7(g), (h), (i) and (j), 3.9(f) and 11.8, and (ii) the Pending Claims Amount as of the date of such payments, there are funds remaining in the Working Capital Escrow Account, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release such funds to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Escrow Percentages.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.7, if the amounts available in the Working Capital Escrow Account are insufficient to satisfy the amount payable to Buyer (or at Buyer’s direction, to the Company) under Sections 3.7(g), (h), (i) and (j), then the aggregate amount of such insufficiency (without deduction or setoff) shall be satisfied in accordance with the priority set forth in Section 11.8.

Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 6.3(b), prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, if the Board of Directors of the Company (x) has received an Acquisition Proposal, (y) concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (after giving effect to the terms of any revised proposal from Buyer pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) below), and (z) concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take any action identified in clauses (ii), (iii) or, other than with respect to any action identified in clause (i), (iv) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company may take such action; provided that such action shall not be made unless (1) the Company shall have provided written notice to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days in advance advising Buyer that the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Superior Proposal and that it may take one of the actions specified in the immediately preceding sentence, specifying the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, including a written copy of such proposal, and identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”), (2) during such three (3) Business Day period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Buyer in good faith with respect to adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that would cause such Acquisition Proposal to cease to constitute (in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company) a Superior Proposal and shall provide Buyer with notice of any

modifications to any Superior Proposal; provided, however, that (x) the Company may continue to negotiate with Third Parties during such three (3) Business Day period, and (y) such notice of modification shall not extend such three (3) Business Day period and (3) in the case of actions described in clause (ii), the Company concurrently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(ii). If, following the expiration of any three (3) Business Day negotiation period described above, the Company intends to take any of the actions identified in clauses (ii), (iii) or, other than with respect to any action identified in clause (i), (iv) above or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(ii), the Company shall provide the Buyer notice at least twelve (12) hours prior to taking such action or so terminating this Agreement but in no event shall such twelve (12) hour period be extended. Any action pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.3(b) shall not constitute a breach of the Company’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.3(b) to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may (in connection with, and effective no earlier than, any amendment, withdrawal, modification, change, conditioning or qualification of or to the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub in response to an Acquisition Proposal that the Company’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal (after giving effect to the terms of any revised proposal from Buyer pursuant to Sections 6.3(b)(1) and (2) and in accordance with Section 6.3(b)) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(ii), provided that the Company’s Board of Directors causes the Company to concurrently with such termination enter into a definitive agreement providing for the transactions contemplated by such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(ii), and any purported termination pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(ii) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless the Company shall have complied with all applicable requirements of Section 12.2(b)(ii) (including the payment of the Company Termination Fee prior to or on the date of such termination) in connection with such Superior Proposal.

(d) The Company shall notify Buyer promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) after receipt by the Company of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any request for information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, in each case, other than requests not reasonably expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or from any Person seeking to have discussions or negotiations with the Company relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal. Prior to participating in any discussions or negotiations or furnishing any such information, the Company shall (A) receive from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms that are no less restrictive on such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement with such Person shall contain additional provisions that expressly permit the Company to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.3 and (B) concurrently provide to Buyer any non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiaries that is provided to such Person or its Representatives. The notice shall indicate the identity of the Person making, and the material terms and conditions of, the proposal, inquiry or request and shall include a written copy of such proposal, request or inquiry. The Company shall keep Buyer informed in all material respects, on a reasonably current basis, of the status

(including any material change to the terms) of any such proposal, Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.

Subject to, and concurrently with, obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall amend the Stock Rights Plan and each stock right granted thereunder in the form set forth on Exhibit F; provided that if the Company Stockholder Meeting shall not be duly called and held prior to June 13, 2008, the Company nonetheless shall cause the Stock Rights Plan and each stock right granted thereunder to be so amended on or prior to June 13, 2008 to the extent necessary to defer the 2008 exercise date until October 1, 2008. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause holders of Company Stock Rights to refrain from exercising their Company Stock Rights prior to the Effective Time (other than pursuant to the Acceleration) and to cause holders of Company Securities to refrain from requiring the Company to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any Company Securities.

6.6 Repayment of Indebtedness. Prior to Closing, the Company shall provide the applicable agent under each of the Company’s Existing Credit Facilities with notice of prepayment of all outstanding amounts (including any letters of credit or other borrowings thereunder) under the Company’s Existing Credit Facilities in accordance with their terms such that the Surviving Corporation may prepay such amounts without penalty following the Closing on the Closing Date and terminate the Existing Credit Facilities (such amount, the “Revolver Amount”). At the Closing, the Company shall, and the Company shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, deliver to Buyer payoff letters or similar certificates setting forth the Revolver Amount and those other amounts required to be paid on the Closing Date in order to satisfy or repay in full all Indebtedness of the Company or any U.S. Government Subsidiary (other than lease obligations that constitute capital lease obligations under GAAP and letters of credit and performance bonds primarily relating to the U.S. Government Business entered into in the ordinary course of business) and use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver final invoices for all fees and expenses of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ investment bankers, brokers, accountants, attorneys, consultants and other professional advisors and representatives in connection with the Transactions, including by delivering final invoices in respect of the fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent, Credit Suisse, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxx LLP and Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP.

Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer of the termination and release of all obligations of the Company and the

6.11 Solvency and Valuation Opinions. Prior to the Closing, the Company will receive a true, correct and complete copy of the opinion with respect to the solvency and adequate capital of Newco from a nationally recognized firm that is regularly engaged to render such opinions (the “Solvency Opinion”) and the opinion with respect to the valuation of Newco from a nationally recognized firm that is regularly engaged to render such opinions (the “Valuation Opinion”), in each case, in the forms received by the Company, and which shall not include any manifest error.

ARTICLE 7
COVENANTS OF BUYER PARENT, BUYER AND MERGER SUB

7.1 Director and Officer Liability.

(a) Buyer Parent, Buyer, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation (and any successor) from and after the Effective Time to include the same indemnification, limitation of or exculpation from liability and expense advancement provisions in favor of the individuals who on or prior to the Effective Time were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or were otherwise entitled to the benefit of such provisions as those set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws, in each case as of the date of this Agreement, and shall cause such provisions not to be amended, repealed, revoked or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the individuals who on or prior to the Effective Time were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or were otherwise entitled to the benefit of such provisions. The form of the indemnification, limitation of or exculpation from liability and expense advancement provisions set forth in the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and Bylaws of Merger Sub attached hereto as Exhibit D and Exhibit I, respectively, shall be sufficient for the purposes of the obligations of Buyer Parent, Buyer, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.1(a).

(b) Without limiting any additional rights that any Indemnified Party (as defined below) may have pursuant to any employment agreement, indemnification agreement or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, commencing at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Buyer Parent and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, each present (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) and former director, officer or

employee of the Company and each U.S. Government Subsidiary and their respective estates, heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any Claim (whether asserted prior to, at or after the Effective Time) arising out of or pertaining to any action or inaction in their capacity as director or officer of the Company or any U.S. Government Subsidiary or their serving at the request of the Company or any U.S. Government Subsidiary as a director, officer, trustee, shareholder, partner or fiduciary of another Person, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise in each case occurring on or before the Effective Time (including the Transactions) to the extent provided in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and the U.S. Government Subsidiaries, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any Claim, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall (x) periodically advance reasonable fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses) with respect to the foregoing and pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by each Indemnified Party, promptly after statements therefor are received, provided that the Indemnified Party to whom fees and expenses are advanced or for which fees and expenses of counsel are paid provides an undertaking to repay such advances and payments if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification, and (y) vigorously assist each Indemnified Party in such defense, and (ii) subject to the terms of this Section 7.1, Buyer Parent and Buyer shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation to, cooperate in the defense of any matter.

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall, and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions) covering each Indemnified Party covered as of the Effective Time by the D&O Insurance on terms no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for the premium for the D&O Insurance in any one (1) year an amount in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid by the Company for the D&O Insurance (the “Maximum Annual Premium”); provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for an annual premium not to exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. In addition, Buyer agrees that the Company may put in place, at its own expense, immediately prior to the Effective Time, prepaid “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on terms no less favorable to Indemnified Parties than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as in effect as of the date hereof with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. If such “tail” prepaid policy is obtained by the Company, the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to maintain the D&O Insurance described in the first sentence of this Section 7.1(c), but the Surviving Corporation shall, and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to maintain such policy in full force and effect, for its full term, and continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

(d) All rights to indemnification, insurance and/or advancement of expenses contained in any agreement between the Company or any U.S. Government Subsidiary and any Indemnified Parties as in effect on the date hereof with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (including the Transactions) shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer Parent’s, Buyer’s and Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this provision shall cease six (6) years after the Effective Time except with respect to any action, suit, claim or proceeding made or filed prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation shall, and Buyer Parent and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify any Indemnified Party against all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), such amount to be payable in advance upon request as provided in Section 7.1(b), relating to the enforcement of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Section 7.1 or under any charter, bylaw or agreement; provided that such Indemnified Party provides an undertaking to repay any advances of costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or thereunder.

(e) This Section 7.1 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties and personal representatives and shall be binding on Buyer and the Surviving Corporation and their successors and assigns and the covenants and agreements contained herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.

(f) If Buyer Parent, Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, to the extent not assumed by operation of Law, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer Parent, Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the respective obligations set forth in this Section 7.1 and, in the case of the Company, obligations for indemnification and/or advancement of expenses contained in any agreement between the Company or any U.S. Government Subsidiary and any Indemnified Parties as in effect on the date hereof with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (including the Transactions).

(g) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its officers, directors or employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.1 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

7.2 Employee Benefits.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, for the period beginning as of the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2008, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Buyer Parent and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide Company Employees

with salaries, compensation opportunities and benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the salaries, compensation opportunities and benefits provided by the Company or its Affiliates to Company Employees during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding for all purposes any equity-based plan, program or arrangement.

(b) Buyer Parent, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the employee benefit plans in which such Company Employees are or become eligible to participate to take into account service by such employees with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as if such service were with the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to the same extent that such service was credited under any analogous Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service; provided further, for the avoidance of doubt that such crediting of service need not be given for eligibility or benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan or eligibility for or accrual towards post-employment health or welfare benefits (other than for purposes of the Officer Retirement Policy, the Staff Retiree Medical Policy, and the Retiree Medical Plan, or any successor policies or plan thereto). Following the Effective Time, Company Employees will retain credit for unused vacation and sick days which were accrued with the Company or a Subsidiary as of the Effective Time to the same extent as such credit would be retained under the Company Plans listed in Section 4.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. In addition, if the Effective Time falls within an annual period of coverage under any group health plan of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, each Company Employee shall be given credit for covered expenses paid by that employee under comparable Company Plans during the applicable coverage period through the Effective Time toward satisfaction of any annual deductible limitation and out-of-pocket maximum that may apply under that group health plan of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries. From and after the Effective Time, Buyer Parent and Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries or one of Buyer’s Subsidiaries (as applicable) to, honor, in accordance with their terms, the Company Plans listed in Section 4.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer Parent and Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries or one of Buyer Parent’s Subsidiaries (as applicable) to, honor, pay, perform and satisfy all liabilities, obligations and commitments under each Company Plan listed in Section 7.2(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule that provides any Company Employee with compensation or benefits upon or in connection with the termination of such Company Employee’s employment, and, to the extent applicable to a Company Employee, Buyer Parent and Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries or one of Buyer Parent’s Subsidiaries (as applicable) to, honor and continue in effect for the period beginning as of the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2008, subject to and in accordance with its terms, each severance plan, program or policy of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (including the U.S. Government Subsidiaries, as applicable) to the extent set forth on Section 7.2(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, subject to and in accordance with the terms thereof in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Nothing in this Section 7.2 whether express or implied shall create any third party beneficiary or other right in any Person other than the Company, Buyer, Buyer Parent or Merger Sub (including, but not limited to, any Company Employee or any participant in any Company Plan). Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall constitute or create an employment agreement with any Company Employee or constitute an amendment to any Company Plan or any other plan or arrangement covering the Company Employees. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall limit the right of Buyer, Buyer Parent or any of their Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Plan or other existing benefit plan or arrangement following the Closing Date.

7.3 Transfer Taxes. The parties shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding all state, local and foreign real property transfer, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp taxes, recording, registration and other similar fees, or similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) which become payable in connection with the Transactions. Such Transfer Taxes shall be borne 50% by the Company and 50% by Buyer; provided, however, that all Transfer Taxes which become payable in connection with the Contribution, the Sale and Spin Off or otherwise under the Spin Off Agreement shall be borne by the Company.

7.4 Amendment to Buyer Parent Certificate of Incorporation. Prior to the effective time of the Initial Exchanges, Buyer Parent shall amend and restate its certificate of incorporation substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J.

(b) Upon and subject to the terms of this Section 8.2, Buyer Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to: (i) use reasonable best efforts to obtain

prompt termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act and prompt termination of any other requisite waiting period under any applicable Law; (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain all other consents and approvals from Governmental Entities necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the Transactions; (iii) reasonably cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all filings, notifications and any other material actions pursuant to this Section 8.2, including subject to applicable Law, by permitting counsel for the other party to review in advance, and by considering in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Entity and by providing counsel for the other party with copies of all filings and submissions made by such party and all correspondence between such party (and its advisors) and any Governmental Entity and any other information supplied by such party and such party’s Subsidiaries to a Governmental Entity or received from such a Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions; provided, however, that (A) materials may be redacted before being provided to the other party (x) to remove (1) references concerning the valuation of Buyer Parent, the Company, or any of their Subsidiaries and (2) individual customer pricing information, (y) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (z) as necessary to avoid disclosure of other competitively sensitive information or to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns, and (B) copies of documents filed by a party hereto pursuant to Item 4(c) of the Notification and Report Form filed with the FTC and the Antitrust Division pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall not be required to be provided to any other party hereto; (iv) furnish to the other parties such information and assistance as such parties reasonably may request in connection with the preparation of any submissions to, or agency proceedings by, any Governmental Entity; and (v) promptly inform the other party of any communications with, and inquiries or requests for information from, such Governmental Entities in connection with the Transactions.

shall not take any of the foregoing actions without the prior written consent of Buyer, and (B) none of Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub shall take any of the foregoing actions without the prior written consent of the Company if such actions would bind the Company to take any action (including paying money or entering into any other obligation) irrespective of whether the Closing occurs.

Buyer shall promptly provide the Company with such information regarding Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by the Company to be included in the Information Circular. The Company shall give Buyer and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Information Circular and any other documents mailed to the Company Stockholders prior to their being mailed to the Company Stockholders and shall give Buyer and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all amendments and supplements to the Information Circular and any other documents mailed to the Company Stockholders and all responses to requests for additional information prior to their being mailed to Company Stockholders, and shall include in the Information Circular and any amendment or supplement to the Information Circular and any other documents mailed to the Company Stockholders such information that Buyer reasonably believes is necessary such that the Information Circular or such other document, as the case may be, does not contain any information that is false or misleading in any material respect, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the preparation of the Information Circular, the Company shall cause the Information Circular to be mailed to the Company Stockholders of record as of the applicable

record date established by the Board of Directors of the Company. Each of Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub promptly shall notify the Company of any information provided (or omitted) by it, and (upon becoming aware of any necessary corrections) the Company shall correct any such information, and the Company shall correct any information provided (or omitted) by it, in each case, used in the Information Circular that shall have become false or misleading in any material respect to ensure that the Information Circular does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Information Circular as so corrected to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders, as promptly as reasonably practicable, in each case to the extent required by applicable Law.

8.4 Public Announcements. The parties shall cooperate with each other in the development and distribution of, and consult with each other before issuing, any press release or making any public statement or announcement with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement or announcement without the prior consent of the other parties (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange.

(a) From the date hereof until the Effective Time and subject to applicable Law, the Company and each U.S. Government Subsidiary shall, upon reasonable advance notice, (i) give Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub and their counsel, financial advisors, financing sources, auditors and other authorized representatives reasonable access (in accordance with such procedures as are mutually agreed to between Buyer and the Company prior to any such access) to the offices, properties, books and records of the U.S. Government Business; (ii) furnish or make available to Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub and their counsel, financial advisors, financing sources, auditors and other authorized representatives any financial and operating data and other material information of the U.S. Government Business in the possession of the Company or any U.S. Government Subsidiary as those Persons may reasonably request; and (iii) instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, financing sources, auditors and other authorized representatives to cooperate with the reasonable requests of Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub and their counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), for the purpose of familiarizing itself with the Company and each of the U.S. Government Subsidiaries in anticipation of or reasonably related to the consummation of the Transactions, including the integration of the Company and the U.S. Government Subsidiaries with Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub; provided, however, that the Company may restrict access to information to the extent the Company reasonably believes necessary to (i) comply with existing confidentiality agreements with Third Parties, (ii) ensure compliance with applicable Laws, and (iii) preserve legal privilege that the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries would be entitled to assert. Any access pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be conducted in a manner which will not interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and shall be in accordance with this Section 8.5(a) and any other existing agreements or obligations binding on the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. Each of Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall hold, and shall

cause its respective officers, employees, counsel, financial advisors, financing sources, auditors and other authorized representatives to hold, any non-public information obtained in any investigation in confidence in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub, and Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement that has become untrue or inaccurate such that the conditions set forth in Article 9 would not be satisfied; (ii) any failure of the Company or Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy, any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder such that the conditions set forth in Article 9 would not be satisfied; and (iii) the occurrence of any event, development or circumstance which would be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or Buyer Material Adverse Effect, as applicable; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 8.5(b) shall not limit or otherwise affect (x) the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties hereto or (y) the remedies available hereunder to the party giving or receiving such notice.

8.6 Confidentiality Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Company and Buyer entered into the Confidentiality Agreement, which Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the earlier of (a) the Effective Time, at which time the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate or (b) the expiration of the Confidentiality Agreement according to its terms.

8.7 Financing Arrangements.

(a) Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as reasonably practicable, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange for debt financing for the funded amount, and on terms that are no less favorable to Buyer Parent in the aggregate than the terms, set forth on Schedule 8.7(a) (any such debt financing, an “Acceptable Debt Financing”). Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall consult in good faith, and reasonably cooperate, with the Company regarding its efforts to obtain debt financing described in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) If Buyer Parent has obtained Acceptable Debt Financing by such date, on or prior to the later date (the “Debt Commitment Deadline”) of (i) June 16, 2008 and (ii) the fourteenth day after the satisfaction or waiver of the condition set forth in Section 9.1(e) (the “PLR Condition”) (provided that, if the PLR Condition is waived or satisfied after July 15, 2008 but prior to September 2, 2008, the “Debt Commitment Deadline” shall be September 15, 2008), Buyer Parent shall provide the Company with a true and complete copy of a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”) from a reputable lender with experience in leveraged financing that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (“Lender”), which letter is executed by such Lender, pursuant to which Lender has committed, subject to (i) execution and delivery by Buyer Parent and (ii) the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide to Buyer Parent the amount of financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Debt Financing”), to complete the Transactions and to pay related fees and expenses. If Buyer Parent has not obtained an

Acceptable Debt Financing by the Debt Commitment Deadline, on or prior to the Debt Commitment Deadline, Buyer Parent may, but shall not be obligated to, provide the Company with a true and complete copy of a Debt Commitment Letter from a Lender, which letter is executed by such Lender, pursuant to which Lender has committed, subject to (i) execution and delivery by Buyer Parent and (ii) the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide to Buyer Parent the Debt Financing, to complete the Transactions and to pay related fees and expenses.

(i) The Debt Commitment Letter delivered pursuant to Section 8.7(b) is an Acceptable Debt Financing, subject to the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.1(c)(iv), Buyer Parent may, at the time it delivers the Debt Commitment Letter to the Company pursuant to 8.7(b), request that a condition to the obligation of Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger be the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the Debt Financing reasonably satisfactory to Buyer Parent. If Buyer Parent does not request the aforementioned condition, upon delivery of the Debt Commitment Letter, Buyer Parent shall execute the Debt Commitment Letter and Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall irrevocably waive the condition set forth in Section 9.3(g) (the “Financing Condition”) and promptly deliver written notice of such waiver to the Company. If Buyer Parent does request the aforementioned condition and the Company accepts such condition by written notice to Buyer Parent or fails to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(iv), the Merger Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to include such condition in Section 9.3 and Buyer Parent shall execute and deliver to the Company the Debt Commitment Letter and Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall irrevocably waive the Financing Condition by written notice to the Company.

(ii) The Debt Commitment Letter delivered pursuant to Section 8.7(b) is not an Acceptable Debt Financing, subject to the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.1(c)(iv), Buyer Parent shall, at the time it delivers the Debt Commitment Letter to the Company pursuant to Section 8.7(b), identify any terms and conditions (including conditions precedent) (any such term or condition, an “Unacceptable Debt Financing Term”) in the Debt Commitment Letter that (A) fail to meet the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 8.7(a) and (B) Buyer Parent requests to be addressed by the addition of a closing condition to Article 9 of the Merger Agreement solely for the purpose of addressing such failure. If the Company accepts the addition of such closing condition by written notice to Buyer Parent or fails to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c)(iv), such addition shall be deemed to be an amendment to Article 9 of the Merger Agreement and Buyer Parent shall execute and deliver to the Company the Debt Commitment Letter and Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall irrevocably waive the Financing Condition by written notice to the Company. If any Unacceptable Debt Financing Term that Buyer requests be addressed by the addition of a closing condition to the Merger Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.7(c)(ii) solely addresses a condition precedent to the Lender’s obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter, any closing condition that is added to Article 9 with respect to such Unacceptable Debt Financing Term shall (x) be added to Section 9.3 as a condition to the obligations of Buyer, Buyer Parent and Merger Sub and (y) shall only

be a closing condition under Section 9.3 for so long as the Lender has not waived the underlying condition precedent under the Debt Commitment Letter.

(d) After execution and delivery of the Debt Commitment Letter, Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as reasonably practicable, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters, including using reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, (i) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub obtaining the Financing set forth therein, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including any related flex provisions) or on other terms in the aggregate not less favorable to Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub, (iii) timely prepare the necessary offering circulars, private placement memoranda, or other offering documents or marketing materials with respect to the Financing, (iv) commence the syndication activities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and (v) consummate the Financing at or prior to Closing. Buyer shall give the Company prompt notice (A) of any material breach by any party of any Commitment Letter of which Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub becomes aware, (B) if and when Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub becomes aware that any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters would reasonably be expected to become unavailable to consummate the Transactions and (C) of any termination of any Commitment Letter. Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall keep the Company informed in all material respects on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of their efforts to arrange the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing and provide to the Company copies of executed copies of the definitive documents related to the Financing or Alternative Financing (excluding any fee letters, engagement letters or other agreements that are confidential by their terms). If, after the execution and delivery of the Debt Commitment Letter, any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the applicable Commitment Letter, Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing, including from alternative sources, on terms no less favorable to Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub in the aggregate than the Debt Financing contemplated by the applicable Debt Commitment Letter (including the flex provisions thereof) (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event and the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) shall be applicable to the Alternative Financing. After the execution and delivery of the Debt Commitment Letter, Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall (1) comply in all material respects with the Debt Commitment Letter, (2) enforce in all material respects their rights under the Debt Commitment Letter and (3) not permit any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or the fee letter referred to in the Debt Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub may replace, amend or modify the Debt Commitment Letter (x) to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities which had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of delivery thereof under Section 8.7(b), or (y) otherwise, in each case, so long as the terms would not, taken as a whole, materially delay or adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.7 to the contrary, the Debt Commitment Letter may be superseded at

the option of Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub after the date of delivery thereof under Section 8.7(b) but prior to the Closing Date by instruments (the “New Financing Commitments”) that replace the existing Debt Commitment Letter; provided that the terms of the New Financing Commitments shall not (x) expand the conditions to the Closing Date drawdown to the Debt Financing as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in any material respect, (y) reduce the amount of proceeds available to Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub, taking into account any increase in any other aspect of the Financing, including any equity financing, or (z) taken as a whole, materially delay or adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. In such event, the term “Debt Commitment Letter” as used herein shall be deemed to mean the New Financing Commitments to the extent then in effect. In the event that Buyer Parent obtains a Debt Commitment Letter in connection with an Alternative Financing or obtains New Financing Commitments, Buyer Parent may propose modifications to the Merger Agreement in accordance with the provision of Section 8.7(c). Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall provide notice to the Company promptly upon receiving the Financing or, if applicable, the Alternative Financing.

(e) The Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Buyer, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to cooperate, in connection with the arrangement of the Financing or Alternative Financing as may be reasonably requested by Buyer (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries), including (i) participation at reasonable times in meetings, drafting sessions, presentations, road shows, and rating agency and due diligence sessions, (ii) furnishing Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub and their financing sources with (A) financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company as shall exist and be reasonably requested by Buyer and (B) the following financial statements and financial data: the audited balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2006, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, and the audited statements of stockholders’ equity, income and cash flows of the Company for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, in each case, with consolidating schedules for the U.S. Government Business and the Other Businesses, in each case, no later than June 22, 2008 (provided that if the Closing Date is July 31, 2008, such audit statements shall be provided no later than July 7, 2008, and if the Closing Date is later than July 31, 2008, no later than July 13, 2008) (the “Required Financial Information”); provided, however, that in the event that the Closing Date is on or after August 31, 2008, the Required Financial Information shall include the unaudited balance sheets of the Company as of June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008, and the unaudited statements of stockholders’ equity, income and cash flows of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008, in each case with the consolidating schedules for the U.S. Government Business and the Other Businesses, together with SAS reviews with respect thereto, if requested, which, in each case, shall be provided no later than the later of August 22, 2008 or forty-five (45) days following such request, (iii) ensuring that the applicable auditors shall not have withdrawn their audit opinion with respect to the Required Financial Information at any point during the period from the satisfaction or waiver of the PLR Condition to and including the Closing Date, (iv) reasonably assisting Buyer and its financing sources in the preparation of (A) offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents for any portion of the Financing or Alternative Financing, including prospectuses or offering memoranda, prepared in accordance

with customary practices for an offering of debt securities registered under the Securities Act or made pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as the case may be, in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder for such a registered offering and, in the case of an offering pursuant to Rule 144A, as customarily applied to such an offering, as the case may be, and (B) materials for rating agency presentations, (v) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Buyer and its financing sources for any portion of the Financing or Alternative Financing, (vi) reasonably cooperating with Buyer’s legal counsel in connection with any legal opinions that such legal counsel may be required to deliver in connection with the Financing, (vii) executing and delivering any definitive financing documents, including any pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents, or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub (including a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company with respect to solvency matters) and otherwise facilitating the pledging of, and granting, recording and perfection of security interests in share certificates, securities and other collateral to the extent required by the Debt Commitment Letter and using commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, as applicable, other customary certificates or representations reasonably requested by Buyer (including consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Financing), (viii) using commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in obtaining accountants’ comfort letters, auditor’s reports in respect of audited financials and legal opinions, as reasonably requested by Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub, (ix) taking all actions reasonably necessary to (A) permit prospective financing providers involved in the Financing to evaluate the Company’s current assets, cash management and accounting systems, policies and procedures relating thereto for the purpose of establishing collateral arrangements and (B) establish bank and other accounts and blocked account agreements and lockbox arrangements in connection with the foregoing, (x) using commercially reasonable best efforts to assist Buyer Parent in satisfying the conditions to funding under the Commitment Letters, (xi) using reasonable best efforts to obtain customary payoff letters with respect to any debt facilities being repaid or terminated in connection with the Closing as may be requested by Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub (including those payoff letters contemplated by Section 6.6) and (xii) taking such corporate actions as shall be reasonably requested by Buyer to permit the consummation of the Financing and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available at the Closing; provided that (A) none of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be required to incur any liability in connection with the Financing or Alternative Financing prior to the Effective Time (other than reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with its cooperation under this Section 8.7), including under any of the agreements, certificates or other documents to be delivered by the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 8.7(b), (B) the pre-Closing Board of Directors of the Company and the directors, managers and general partners of the Company Subsidiaries shall not be required to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Financing or Alternative Financing is obtained, (C) none of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be required to become subject to any obligations under any definitive financing documents, including any credit or other agreements, pledge or security documents, or other certificates, legal opinions or documents in connection with the Financing or Alternative Financing prior to the Effective Time, and (D) the Surviving Corporation shall defend and hold harmless the pre-Closing directors and officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries from and against any liability or obligation to providers of the Financing or Alternative Financing in connection with

the Financing or Alternative Financing and any information provided in connection therewith. Except for the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement, the Company shall not have any liability to Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub in respect of any financial statements, other financial information or data or other information provided pursuant to this Section 8.7. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time, Buyer Parent and Buyer shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the Company’s cooperation under this Section 8.7(e) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include costs incurred in connection with the preparation of the Company’s audited financial statements or costs and expenses accrued prior to the date hereof).

8.8 Investigation and Agreement by Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub; No Other Representations or Warranties. Each of Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub agrees that, except for the representations and warranties made by the Company that are expressly set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement or in the Ancillary Agreements, the Company does not make, and has not made, any representations or warranties in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Person has been authorized by the Company to make any representation or warranty relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or their respective businesses, or otherwise in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions and, if made, such representation or warranty may not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub agrees that, except as provided in Article 4 or in the Ancillary Agreements, neither the Company, any holder of Equity Interests of the Company nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, makes or has made any representation or warranty to Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub or any of their Representatives or Affiliates with respect to:

(i) any forward-looking information such as projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets of future revenues, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the U.S. Government Business or the future business, operations or affairs of the U.S. Government Business heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub or their respective Representatives or Affiliates; or

(ii) any other information, statement or documents heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub or their respective Representatives or Affiliates, including the information in the on-line data room, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the U.S. Government Business, except to the extent and as expressly covered by a representation and warranty made by the Company and contained in Article 4 of this Agreement or in the Ancillary Agreements.

8.9 Additional Exchange Agreements.

(a) The Company and Buyer Parent will cooperate with each other and the Rolling Stockholders in connection with the execution and delivery of the Exchange Agreements prior to

the Exchange Date, and the consummation of the Initial Exchanges on the Exchange Date, in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.9(a). Without limiting the foregoing, if prior to the Exchange Date (x) an Entry Level Rolling Stockholder executes and delivers to Buyer Parent an Additional Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C providing for an exchange of Company Common Shares and Company Stock Rights equal to at least 25% and no greater than 80% (which percentage shall be subject to reduction in the event that such Entry Level Rolling Stockholder is obligated to pay a portion of the proceeds to third parties and has not made satisfactory alternative arrangements to ensure sufficient free cash proceeds) of such Entry Level Rolling Stockholder’s Full Share Amount, or (y) a Lead Rolling Stockholder or Senior Rolling Stockholder executes and delivers to Buyer Parent an Additional Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C providing for an exchange of Company Common Shares and Company Stock Rights equal to at least 40% and no greater than 80% (which percentage shall be subject to reduction in the event that such Lead Rolling Stockholder or Senior Rolling Stockholder is obligated to pay a portion of the proceeds to third parties and has not made satisfactory alternative arrangements to ensure sufficient free cash proceeds) of such Lead Rolling Stockholder’s or Senior Rolling Stockholder’s Full Share Amount, then Buyer Parent shall execute such Additional Exchange Agreement and deliver it to such Rolling Stockholder; provided, however, that if such delivery occurs after the date that is twenty-one (21) days prior to the Exchange Date (such date, the “Exchange Agreement Cut-Off Date”) and provides for the exchange of a number of Company Common Shares and Company Stock Rights that is greater than 40% of such Rolling Stockholder’s Full Share Amount, then such Rolling Stockholder shall only be permitted to exchange Company Common Shares and Company Stock Rights representing 40% of such Rolling Stockholder’s Full Share Amount unless Buyer Parent consents, in its sole discretion, to the exchange of the greater number of Company Common Shares and Company Stock Rights. In the event that any Rolling Stockholder executes and delivers to Buyer Parent an Existing Exchange Agreement or an Additional Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreement providing for an exchange of such Rolling Stockholder’s Company Common Shares and Company Stock Rights in excess of 40% of such Rolling Stockholder’s Full Share Amount (the number of Company Common Shares and Company Stock Rights representing such excess, the “Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number”) and the aggregate Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Number that Rolling Stockholders have elected to exchange pursuant to the Existing Exchange Agreements and the Additional Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreements exceeds the sum of (x) 75,000 and (y) the amount, if any, by which the Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Cap exceeds the Requested Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number, (the “Rolling Stockholder Cap”), Buyer Parent may reduce the Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number of (i) the Senior Rolling Stockholders, in the aggregate, until the aggregate Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number of all Rolling Stockholders does not exceed the Rolling Stockholder Cap; provided that any such reduction will be allocated first to those Senior Rolling Stockholders with greater Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Numbers so that no Senior Rolling Stockholder will be subject to such reduction until there is no other Senior Rolling Stockholder with a greater adjusted Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number and the Senior Rolling Stockholders with the greatest adjusted Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Numbers will be subject to pro rata reduction and (ii), if, after giving effect to the reduction pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.9(a), the aggregate Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Number of all Rolling Stockholders pursuant to Existing Exchange Agreements and Additional

Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreements exceeds the Rolling Stockholder Cap, the Lead Rolling Stockholders, in the aggregate, until the aggregate Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number of all Rolling Stockholders does not exceed the Rolling Stockholder Cap; provided that any such reduction will be allocated first to those Lead Rolling Stockholders with greater Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Numbers so that no Lead Rolling Stockholder will be subject to such reduction until there is no other Lead Rolling Stockholder with a greater adjusted Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number and the Lead Rolling Stockholders with the greatest adjusted Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Numbers will be subject to pro rata reduction and (iii) if, after giving effect to the reductions pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 8.9(a), the aggregate Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Number of all Rolling Stockholders pursuant to Existing Exchange Agreements and Additional Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreements exceeds the Rolling Stockholder Cap, the Entry Level Rolling Stockholders, in the aggregate, until the aggregate Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number of all Rolling Stockholders does not exceed the Rolling Stockholder Cap; provided that any such reduction will be allocated first to those Entry Level Rolling Stockholders with greater Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Numbers so that no Entry Level Rolling Stockholder will be subject to such reduction until there is no other Entry Level Rolling Stockholder with a greater adjusted Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number and the Entry Level Rolling Stockholders with the greatest adjusted Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Numbers will be subject to pro rata reduction. Any reductions in a Rolling Stockholder’s Excess Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number will be applied in inverse order to the exchange order requirement set forth in such Rolling Stockholder’s Additional Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreement. All Buyer Parent Securities received pursuant to the Exchange shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Buyer Rollover Stock Option Plan and the Stockholders Agreement (including, but not limited to, any transfer, repurchase or forfeiture provisions).

(b) The Company and Buyer Parent will cooperate with each other and the Discretionary Rolling Stockholders in connection with the execution and delivery of the Exchange Agreements prior to the Exchange Agreement Cut-Off Date, and the consummation of the Subsequent Exchanges on the Exchange Date, in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.9(b). Without limiting the foregoing, if prior to the Exchange Agreement Cut-Off Date, a Discretionary Rolling Stockholder executes and delivers to Buyer Parent a Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G providing for an exchange of Company Common Shares equal to no greater than such Discretionary Rolling Stockholder’s Individual Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Cap, then Buyer Parent shall execute such Additional Exchange Agreement and deliver it to such Discretionary Rolling Stockholder. For purposes of this Section 8.9(b), with respect to any Discretionary Rolling Stockholder, the “Individual Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Cap” shall mean 85% of such Discretionary Rolling Stockholder’s Full Share Amount; provided, however, that if such Discretionary Rolling Stockholder elects to exchange a number of Company Common Shares in excess of the number of Company Common Shares that such Discretionary Rolling Stockholder held prior to the Acceleration, then the Individual Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Cap with respect to such Discretionary Rolling Stockholder shall be reduced by that number of Company Common Shares equal to (x) that amount of Taxes required to be withheld by the Company with respect to such Discretionary Rolling Stockholder in connection with the Transactions divided by (y) the Full Cash Amount; provided, further, that such Individual Rolling Stockholder Cap may be further

reduced in the event that such Discretionary Rolling Stockholder is obligated to pay a portion of the proceeds to third parties and has not made satisfactory alternative arrangements to ensure sufficient free cash proceeds. In the event that the aggregate number of the Company Common Shares elected to be exchanged by the Discretionary Rolling Stockholders pursuant to executed Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreements (the “Requested Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number”) exceeds 125,000 (the “Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Cap”), Buyer Parent may reduce the number of Company Common Shares to be exchanged by each Discretionary Rolling Stockholder on pro rata basis based on the number of Company Common Shares that each Discretionary Rolling Stockholder elected to exchange until the Requested Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Rollover Share Number does not exceed the Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Cap. Any reductions in the Company Common Shares to be exchanged by a Discretionary Rolling Stockholder will be applied in inverse order to the exchange order requirement set forth in such Discretionary Rolling Stockholder’s Discretionary Rolling Stockholder Exchange Agreement. All Shares of Buyer Parent Non-Voting Common Stock received pursuant to the Exchange shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement.

ARTICLE 10
TAX MATTERS

10.1 Tax Indemnity.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, from and after the Closing, Buyer Parent, its Subsidiaries (including the Company and the U.S. Government Subsidiaries) and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers and Representatives of any of the foregoing and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified solely from the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount from and against (i) Pre-Closing Taxes (except to the extent such Pre-Closing Taxes were reflected in the Final Pre-Closing Taxes) and (ii) in respect of any exercise of any Company Stock Rights after the date hereof and prior to the effective time of the Acceleration, the product of (x) the excess of (A) any deductions that would have arisen with respect to compensation related to, arising out of or in connection with the exercise of such Company Stock Rights pursuant to the Acceleration over (B) any deductions that actually arose with respect to compensation related to, arising out of or in connection with such exercise of such Company Stock Rights prior to the effective time of the Acceleration multiplied by (y) 0.2732. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 and Article 11 in excess of, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the sum of the Indemnification Escrow Funds plus the Indemnification Sub-Limit and the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ sole recourse with respect to any amounts owed to them pursuant to this Article 10 shall be the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount.

(b) The ability of any Buyer Indemnified Party to receive indemnification under this Section 10.1 shall terminate on the date that is ninety (90) days following the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation with respect to the relevant Pre-Closing Taxes (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof) (the “Termination Date”) unless a Buyer Indemnified Party has made a proper claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 prior to the Termination Date, in which case such claim for Pre-Closing Taxes incurred (and only such claim for such Pre-Closing Taxes incurred), if unresolved by the Termination Date, shall continue until the claim is fully resolved.

10.2 Allocation Between Partial Periods. Any Taxes for a Tax period beginning before, and ending after, the Closing Date shall be apportioned between the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Partial Period”) and the portion of such period beginning after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Partial Period”) based on the actual activities, taxable income or taxable loss of the applicable entity during such Pre-Closing Partial Period and such Post-Closing Partial Period on a closing of the books basis.

10.3 Tax Refunds. Buyer Parent shall promptly pay the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Escrow Percentages, any Tax refund, credit or similar benefit (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) received by Buyer Parent or its Subsidiaries attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax; provided that Buyer Parent shall be entitled to retain any such refund, credit or benefit to the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Parties have borne Pre-Closing Taxes, net of any other retained refunds, credits or benefits pursuant to this Section 10.3, that were not indemnified under this Article 10 or that were not reflected in the Final Pre-Closing Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer Parent shall be entitled to retain any refund, credit or benefit that is attributable to any Excluded Deductions. Buyer Parent shall, if the Seller

Representative so requests and at the Seller Representative’s expense, cause Buyer Parent or any of its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and expedite the receipt of any refund to which the Sellers are entitled pursuant to this Section 10.3.

10.4 Contests and Audits.

(a) Upon the receipt by Buyer Parent or any of its Affiliates of any pending or threatened Tax audit or assessment with respect to which an indemnification claim could be made pursuant to this Article 10, Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller Representative in writing of the receipt of such notice. Such notice shall contain factual information describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any taxing authority in respect of any such asserted Tax liability. If Buyer fails to give the Seller Representative prompt notice of any asserted Tax liability as required by this Section 10.4, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to an indemnification with respect to such Tax liability to the extent that such failure adversely affects the rights or ability of the Seller Representative or the Sellers to fully contest such asserted Tax liability.

(b) The Seller Representative shall have the right to control, and to represent the interests of all affected taxpayers in, any Tax audit or administrative, judicial or other proceeding that could give rise to an indemnity payment under this Article 10 and to employ counsel of its choice; provided, however, that the Seller Representative shall (i) provide Buyer Parent with a timely copy of all documents (or portions thereof) relating to such audit, examination or proceeding, (ii) consult with Buyer Parent with respect to any written submissions in connection with such audit, examination or proceeding, (iii) provide Buyer Parent with the right to participate, at Buyer Parent’s cost and expense, in any conference with any taxing authority regarding such audit, examination or proceeding, and (iv) not enter into any settlement thereof without the written consent of Buyer Parent, which shall not be unreasonably or untimely withheld. Buyer Parent shall control any audit, examination or proceeding (or portion thereof) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (other than the Other Subsidiaries) that does not relate to Taxes for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1.

(c) Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Seller Representative, promptly upon request, powers of attorney authorizing the Seller Representative to extend statutes of limitations, receive refunds, negotiate settlements and take such other actions that the Seller Representative reasonably considers to be appropriate in exercising its control rights pursuant to this Section 10.4, and any other documents reasonably necessary to effect the exercising of such control rights.

10.5 Cooperation, Retention and Tax Reporting.

(a) Each of Buyer Parent and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Seller Representative, on the other hand, shall provide the other party promptly upon request with such cooperation and assistance, documents and other information, without charge, as may reasonably be requested by the other party in connection with (i) the preparation, filing or review of any original or amended Tax Return or any other filing with any taxing authority, (ii) the conduct of

any audit or other examination or any judicial or administrative proceeding involving to any extent Taxes or Tax Returns within the scope of this Agreement, or (iii) the verification by the other party of an amount payable hereunder to, or receivable hereunder from, another party. Such cooperation and assistance shall include, without limitation: (i) the provision on demand of books, records, Tax Returns, documentation or other information relating to any relevant Tax Return, (ii) the execution of any document that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with the filing of any Tax Return, or in connection with any audit, proceeding, suit or action of the type generally referred to in the preceding sentence, including, without limitation, the execution of powers of attorney and extensions of applicable statutes of limitations, (iii) the prompt and timely filing of appropriate claims for refund, and (iv) the use of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any documentation from a governmental authority or a Third Party that may be necessary or helpful in connection with the foregoing. Each party shall make its and its Affiliates’ employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to facilitate such cooperation.

(b) Buyer Parent shall cause the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 5.06(b) of the Spin Off Agreement.

(c) Buyer Parent shall retain or cause to be retained all Tax Returns and all books, records, schedules, workpapers and other documents relating thereto with respect to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, until the Termination Date (as extended for any unresolved claim made prior to the Termination Date). Buyer Parent shall promptly notify the Seller Representative of any waivers, extensions or expirations of applicable statutes of limitations.

(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that the exchange and/or cash-out of the Company Class A Shares pursuant to Article 3 (as distinct from the Acceleration) shall not lead to the recognition of ordinary income by the holders thereof, and accordingly the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates shall, and the Buyer Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates to, file Tax Returns consistently and shall not take any compensation deduction with respect thereto.

10.6 Valuation. The parties hereto agree that the fair market value of the Newco Shares to be distributed to the Company Stockholders in the Spin Off, for U.S. federal and applicable state income Tax purposes, shall be determined by Buyer, Newco and the Company, which determination, absent manifest error, shall be (i) within the range of valuations set forth in the Valuation Opinion, (ii) not less than the amount of the Target NAV set forth in the Spin Off Agreement, and (iii) not less than the reasonable estimated valuation of Newco implied by the value of the Government Buy-Back Consideration (as defined in the Spin Off Agreement). The parties agree that they shall not, and shall not permit their Affiliates to, take a position on any Tax Return or in the calculation of Pre-Closing Taxes pursuant to Section 3.7 that is inconsistent with such determination.

10.7 Tax Returns. Ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date for filing any Tax Return relating to Pre-Closing Taxes, Buyer Parent shall provide such Tax Return to the Seller Representative for its review and comment. Within ten (10) days following delivery of such draft Tax Return, the Seller Representative shall have the right to object in writing to any item on

any such draft Tax Return affecting Pre-Closing Taxes. Unless such written notice of objection to such Tax Return is delivered within such ten (10) day period, such Tax Return shall be final and binding on the parties without further adjustments. If the Seller Representative so objects and Buyer Parent rejects any such objections, the parties shall resolve their dispute by presenting such dispute to an accounting firm of national reputation mutually agreeable to Buyer Parent and the Seller Representative (the “Tax Accountant”); provided that, with respect to a dispute under Section 3.9(a), such Tax Accountant may be different than the Tax Accountant retained for other disputes, if mutually agreed. The Tax Accountant will resolve the dispute in a fair and equitable manner within ten (10) days after the parties to such dispute have presented their arguments to the Tax Accountant, whose decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties; provided that, with respect to a dispute as to whether the IRS has delivered a favorable ruling pursuant to the PLR Request pursuant to Section 3.9(a) (but not any dispute with respect to the PLR Amount or the application of the private letter ruling granted in response to the PLR Request), such Tax Accountant’s determination shall not be deemed final, binding and conclusive on the parties unless the Tax Accountant shall have delivered a “should” level opinion to the Company as to the favorable treatment requested in the PLR Request; and provided further, however, that if such Tax Accountant shall have delivered a “more likely than not” opinion (but not a “should” opinion) to the Company as to whether the IRS has delivered a favorable ruling pursuant to the PLR Request, the Tax Accountant shall be deemed (for purposes of this Agreement) to have determined that the PLR Amount equals the sum of the Undisputed PLR Amount and half of the PLR Escrow Amount. If the Tax Accountant does not resolve all differences between the parties with respect to such Tax Return at least two (2) days prior to the due date therefor, such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer Parent and amended to reflect the Tax Accountant’s resolution and shall be final and binding on the parties without further adjustment. The fees and expenses of the Tax Accountant shall be borne equally by Buyer Parent and the Seller Representative. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (other than the Other Subsidiaries) other than a Tax Return relating to Pre-Closing Taxes shall be exclusively within the control of Buyer Parent. No such Tax Returns relating to Pre-Closing Taxes may be amended without the Seller Representative’s approval, not to be unreasonably or untimely withheld.

10.8 Payments from Indemnification Escrow Account. In the event that any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification for Losses, or is otherwise entitled to payment, under this Article 10 or Article 11 (including Section 11.8), within two (2) Business Days of the final determination of the merits and amount of such indemnifiable Losses, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing the distribution from the Indemnification Escrow Account of an amount equal to such Losses to such Buyer Indemnified Party.

10.9 Release of Indemnification Escrow Amount. On the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date, after the payment to the Buyer Indemnified Parties of any amounts due and owing pursuant to Article 10 and Article 11 (including Section 11.8), Buyer and the Seller Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to release to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Escrow Percentages, the portion of the Indemnification Escrow Funds in excess of the Pending Claims Amount on such date. Thereafter, as soon as reasonably practicable after the resolution of each such outstanding claim, if any, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall each direct the Escrow Agent, after

disbursement to the Buyer Indemnified Parties of the applicable portion of the Indemnification Escrow Funds, if any, pursuant to this Agreement in connection with such resolution, to release to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Escrow Percentages, all remaining Indemnification Escrow Funds in excess of the remaining aggregate amount of the Pending Claims Amount prior to such date.

10.10 Adjustment to Purchase Price. Buyer Parent, the Company, their respective Affiliates and Sellers shall treat any and all payments under Article 10 as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

ARTICLE 11

11.1 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 11 (including Section 11.8), from and after the Closing, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified solely from the Indemnification Escrow Funds and through offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount from and against all Losses that the Buyer Indemnified Parties incur arising from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company in Sections 4.2, 4.5(a), 4.5(b) (excluding clauses (iv) and (v)), 4.5(c), 4.7(a), 4.7(c), 4.11, 4.17(d)(vii), 4.17(d)(viii) and 4.27, in each case, as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date, except in the case of a representation or warranty that speaks expressly as of a specific date or dates, which representation or warranty shall speak only as of such date or dates, (ii)(A) any failure of the Sellers (or, prior to the Closing, the Company) to perform in all material respects any covenant or agreement of the Sellers or the Company under Sections 2.1, 2.4, 7.3, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5(b) and Article 6 of this Agreement or (B) any failure of the Company prior to the Closing to perform in all material respects any covenant or agreement of the Company under the Spin Off Agreement, (iii) any Taxes indemnifiable by Newco pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Spin Off Agreement, the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Spin Off Agreement), or any breach by Newco of any Ancillary Agreement if (x) Newco is bankrupt or insolvent and (y) Newco fails to satisfy such liabilities in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Spin Off Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof by a Buyer Indemnified Party, and (iv) any Transition Restructuring Costs of the Company and the U.S. Government Subsidiaries.

pursuant to this Article 11 prior to the applicable date, in which case such claim, if unresolved by the applicable date, shall continue until the claim is fully resolved.

(c) Except with respect to (x) inaccuracies in or breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.2, 4.5(a), 4.5(b) (excluding clauses (iv) and (v)), 4.5(c), 4.11(l) and 4.11(m) and (y) the matters set forth in Sections 11.1(a)(ii), 11.1(a)(iii), and 11.1(a)(iv), which inaccuracies, breaches and matters shall not be subject to any deductible or exclusion under this sentence, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be indemnified for Losses under Section 11.1(a) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds an amount (the “Basket”) equal to $15,000,000.

(d) Except with respect to (x) inaccuracies in or breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.2, 4.5(a), 4.5(b) (excluding clauses (iv) and (v)), 4.5(c), 4.11(l), 4.11(m), 4.17(d)(vii), 4.17(d)(viii) and 4.27 and (z) the matters set forth in Sections 11.1(a)(ii), 11.1(a)(iii) and 11.1(a)(iv), which inaccuracies, breaches and matters shall not be subject to any claim threshold under this sentence, no Losses may be claimed by a Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 11.1(a), or included in calculating whether any Losses exceed the Basket, other than Losses that, together with other indemnifiable Losses arising out of the same or a series of related facts, events or circumstances, exceed $500,000 in which case all such indemnifiable Losses (including the first $500,000) may be claimed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 11, including Section 11.1(c), if applicable.

(e) No Losses arising from any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company in Section 4.17(d)(vii), 4.17(d)(viii) or 4.27 may be claimed by a Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 11.1(a), or included in calculating whether any Losses exceed the Basket, unless such indemnifiable Losses with respect any single fiscal year of the Company exceed $1,000,000, in which case all such indemnifiable Losses with respect to such fiscal year (including the first $1,000,000) may be claimed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 11, including Section 11.1(c).

101

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11 or Article 10, nothing herein shall limit the Surviving Corporation’s or any of its applicable Affiliates’ (including Buyer Parent and Buyer) rights to seek indemnification, money damages or to otherwise enforce the Spin Off Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided that the Surviving Corporation and its applicable Affiliates shall not be entitled to recover for any given Loss more than once.

11.2 Indemnification Procedures. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement (other than claims involving Tax matters, the procedures for which are set forth in Article 10) shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) Any Buyer Indemnified Party claiming indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any claim asserted against the Buyer Indemnified Party by a Third Party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of any matter that may be subject to indemnification under Section 11.1 shall promptly (i) notify the Seller Representative of the Third Party Claim and (ii) transmit to the Seller Representative a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all court papers served with respect to such claim (if any), the Buyer Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate of the amount of Losses that are or may be attributable to the Third Party Claim and the basis of the Buyer Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to timely provide such Claim Notice shall not affect the right of the Buyer Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Sellers are prejudiced by such delay or omission.

(b) The Sellers shall have the right to defend the Buyer Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim so long as (i) the Seller Representative acknowledges in writing its obligation (solely through the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount) to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses related to such Third Party Claim or (ii) the Seller Representative agrees (solely through the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount) to bear the cost of one separate counsel to the Buyer Indemnified Parties, who shall be entitled to participate in (but shall not have the right to control) the defense of such Third Party Claim, in each case if the aggregate remaining Indemnification Escrow Funds plus the aggregate remaining Indemnification Sub-Limit are sufficient to satisfy greater than 50% of the Losses reasonably likely to arise from such Third Party Claim, considering all prior claims for indemnification and claims for payment made under Article 10 and this Article 11 (including Section 11.8), unless such claim relates to the DCAA Audits or other similar investigations, litigations, actions, suits, claims, arbitrations, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal or administrative, by any Governmental Entity, which claims shall be subject to Section 11.2(c) below. If the Sellers have the right to and the Seller Representative notifies the Buyer Indemnified Party that the Sellers elect to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim without acknowledging the obligations in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, then the Sellers shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Seller Representative, at the sole cost and expense of Seller Representative (without reimbursement from the Indemnification Escrow Funds or the Indemnification Sub-Limit); provided that counsel for the Sellers who shall conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer Indemnified Party, and the Buyer Indemnified Party may participate in (but not control) such defense at its expense; provided, however, that if (x) the Seller Representative agrees to do so pursuant to clause (ii)

102

above or (y) the Buyer Indemnified Party reasonably concludes upon the advice of counsel that there exists one or more defenses or counterclaims available to the Buyer Indemnified Party that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Sellers in respect of such Third Party Claim, the Seller Representative shall (solely through the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount) bear the cost of one counsel with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Seller Representative shall have control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided that the Seller Representative shall not enter into any settlement agreement without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnified Party (which consent if the Seller Representative has acknowledged its obligation (solely through the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount) to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified for the applicable Losses shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, but if Seller Representative has not acknowledged such obligation may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Buyer Indemnified Party); provided, further, that such consent shall not be required if (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete, irrevocable and unconditional release by all claimants asserting the claim from all liability to all Buyer Indemnified Parties affected by the claim, (ii) the settlement agreement does not contain any sanction, restriction or other injunctive or non-monetary relief affecting the Buyer Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (iii) the aggregate remaining Indemnification Escrow Funds plus the aggregate remaining Indemnification Sub-Limit are sufficient to satisfy in full all but $500,000 of the Losses contemplated by such settlement agreement and (iv) the Seller Representative has acknowledged its obligation (solely through the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount) for the applicable Losses. If requested by the Seller Representative, the Buyer Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Seller Representative, to cooperate with the Seller Representative and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Seller Representative elects to contest. If the Buyer Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the aggregate remaining Indemnification Escrow Funds plus the aggregate remaining Indemnification Sub-Limit are insufficient to satisfy greater than 50% of the Losses reasonably likely to arise from such Third Party Claim, considering the Settled Claims Amount and the Pending Claims Amount, then the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and control the defense, settlement, negotiation or litigation relating to any such Third Party Claim at the cost of the Sellers solely through the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount; provided that if the Buyer Indemnified Party does so take over and control, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, that such consent shall not be required if (i) less than $500,000 of Indemnification Escrow Funds and the Indemnification Sub-Limit remain available to satisfy the contemplated settlement and (ii) the compromise or settlement agreement does not contain any sanction, restriction or other injunctive or non-monetary relief affecting the Seller Representative, any Seller or any of their respective Representatives.

(c) Buyer shall have the right to defend against and be reimbursed out of the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the Buyer Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification in respect of such Third Party Claim hereunder) in connection with, any Third Party Claim that relates to the DCAA Audits or other similar investigations, litigations, actions, suits, claims, arbitrations, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal or administrative, by any

103

Governmental Entity. Buyer shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by Buyer; provided that counsel for Buyer who shall conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Seller Representative, and the Seller Representative may participate in (but not control) such defense at its expense. Buyer shall have control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided that the Buyer shall not enter into any settlement agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided, further, that such consent shall not be required if (i) less than $500,000 of Indemnification Escrow Funds and the Indemnification Sub-Limit remain available to satisfy the contemplated settlement and (ii) the compromise or settlement agreement does not contain any sanction, restriction or other injunctive or non-monetary relief affecting the Seller Representative, any Seller or any of their respective Representatives. If requested by Buyer, the Seller Representative agrees, at its sole cost and expense (which shall be satisfied solely out of the Indemnification Escrow Account and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount), to cooperate with Buyer and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim subject to this Section 11.2(c).

(d) If the Seller Representative fails to notify the Buyer Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any Claim Notice that the Seller Representative elects to defend the Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.2(b), then the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, and be reimbursed out of the Indemnification Escrow Funds and as an offset against the Deferred Obligation Amount for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the Buyer Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification in respect of such Third Party Claim hereunder), the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Buyer Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settlement. The Buyer Indemnified Party shall have control of such defense and proceedings; provided, however, that the Buyer Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Seller Representative’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that such consent shall not be required if (i) less than $500,000 of Indemnification Escrow Funds and the Indemnification Sub-Limit remain available to satisfy the contemplated settlement and (ii) the compromise or settlement agreement does not contain any sanction, restriction or other injunctive or non-monetary relief affecting the Seller Representative, any Seller or any of their respective Representatives. The Seller Representative may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11.2(d), and the Seller Representative shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(e) A claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim must be asserted by prompt written notice to the Seller Representative, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the Buyer Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to the claim and the basis of the Buyer Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to timely provide such notice shall not affect the right of the Buyer Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Sellers are prejudiced by such delay or omission.

104

(f) In the event a Buyer Indemnified Party shall recover Losses in respect of a claim of indemnification under this Article 11, no other Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the same Losses in respect of a claim for indemnification.

(g) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice under this Agreement, at the reasonable request of the Seller Representative, each Buyer Indemnified Party shall grant the Seller Representative and its Representatives reasonable access to the books, records, employees and properties of such Buyer Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the defense of such claim. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under the conditions which shall not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Buyer Indemnified Party.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.2, the indemnification procedures set forth in Article 10 shall control any indemnification procedures relating to Taxes.

11.3 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 11.1 with respect to any Losses to the extent such Losses (i) were reflected in the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the NAV Transfer Amount paid to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.10, or the Final Restricted Cash Shortfall; provided, however, that no amount reflected in a reserve taken into account in the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment shall limit the right to indemnification under Section 11.1 unless (and solely to the extent that) the amount of such reserve was increased after December 31, 2007 specifically to reserve against the matter for which indemnification was sought pursuant to Section 11.1 and such increase was reflected in the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment, or (ii) arise or result from any failure of the Company to obtain Ruling 3 or 5 as requested in the PLR Request; provided, however, that this clause (ii) of this Section 11.3 shall be inapplicable (A) to the extent (x) any information (including values) contained in, or any representation made by the Company or any of its representatives in, the PLR Request to obtain Ruling 3 or 5 or otherwise made to (1) the Internal Revenue Service, (2) Ernst & Young LLP or (3) the Tax Accountant, was not accurate, complete and correct and (y) such inaccuracy, incompletion, or incorrectness materially contributed to or resulted in a withdrawal, modification or other ineffectiveness of any favorable ruling delivered in response to the PLR Request to obtain Ruling 3 or 5 or any opinion of the Tax Accountant delivered pursuant to Section 10.7 with respect to such ruling, or the Internal Revenue Service taking a position that differs from that expressed in any such opinion or (z) any information (including values) included in Ernst & Young LLP’s Section 280G calculations provided to Buyer and its Affiliates, advisors or representatives was not accurate, complete and correct (or as a result of any such inaccurate, incomplete or incorrect information provided by the Company, any deemed payment that would constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder was not included in such calculation) and such inaccuracy, incompletion, or incorrectness materially contributed to or resulted in such Loss, or (B) with respect to Losses arising out of or resulting from termination of employment by Newco or any of the Other Subsidiaries of an Officer listed in Section 11.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedule during the 12-month period prior to or following the Closing.

105

11.4 Computation of Indemnifiable Losses.

(a) Any amount payable pursuant to this Article 11: (i) shall be decreased to the extent of any Third Party insurance proceeds received by the Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of an indemnifiable Loss, (ii) shall be reduced to take into account any Tax benefit actually realized by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in the year of the indemnity payment or any earlier year that arises from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss and increased to take into account any Tax detriment actually suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties that arises from the receipt of such amount payable or the incurrence or payment of any such Loss and (iii) shall be reduced by any recoveries from third Persons pursuant to indemnification or otherwise in respect thereto.

(b) The amount of indemnification to which a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article 11 shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Seller Representative; (ii) by a judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Seller Representative shall agree.

(c) In any case where a Buyer Indemnified Party recovers from third Persons any amount (other than any amounts deducted pursuant to Section 11.4(a)) in respect of a matter with respect to which such Buyer Indemnified Party has received payment satisfying in full all Losses arising from any and all matters subject to indemnification hereunder (from the Indemnification Escrow Funds or the Deferred Payment Holdback), (i) in the case of a payment previously received from the Indemnification Escrow Funds, Buyer shall cause such Buyer Indemnified Party to promptly pay over (A) if prior to the final release of the Indemnification Escrow Funds to the Sellers pursuant to Section 10.9, to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Indemnification Escrow Account (subject to release to the Sellers pursuant to Section 10.9 as though a pending matter had been resolved) and (B) if after the final release of the Indemnification Escrow Funds to the Exchange Agent for release to the Sellers pursuant to Section 10.9, to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Escrow Percentages, the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party in procuring such recovery) and (ii) in the case of a previous satisfaction of a claim for Losses through inclusion in the Settled Claims Amount, the Settled Claims Amount shall be reduced by such amount (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party in procuring such recovery) (and corresponding changes shall be made to the Settled Claims Adjustment Amount and the Deferred Obligation Amount) and, if after any payment to the Sellers pursuant to Section 3.11(a) or (b), Buyer shall pay to the Exchange Agent for release to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective DPO Percentages, an amount equal to the excess of the Deferred Obligation Amount over the Deferred Payment Holdback. Clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall only apply to the extent such amount, together with all amounts previously received from the Indemnification Escrow Funds, exceeds the aggregate amount of all Losses that would have been subject to indemnification from the Indemnification Escrow Funds. Clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence shall only apply to the extent such amount (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party in procuring such recovery) if applied to reduce the Settled Claims Amount, would have reduced the Settled Claims Adjustment Amount.

106

11.5 Mitigation of Damages. A Buyer Indemnified Party shall, to the extent practicable and reasonably within its control and at the expense of the Sellers, make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses of which it has adequate notice; provided that the Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to act in contravention of applicable Law or in contravention of reasonable and customary practices of such Buyer Indemnified Party.

11.6 Adjustment to Purchase Price. Buyer Parent, the Company, their respective Affiliates and Sellers shall treat any and all payments under this Article 11 as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

11.7 Indemnification Escrow Funds. The indemnification obligations set forth in this Article 11 shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 10.8 and 10.9 of this Agreement.

11.8 Satisfaction of Claims. In the event of any claim for indemnification under Article 10 or Article 11 or any payment to be made under Section 3.7(m), such claim or payment, as the case may be, shall be satisfied in the following priority: (i) if such claim is properly asserted in accordance with this Agreement, or such payment becomes payable, prior to the release of the funds from the Working Capital Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.7(k), then out of the funds available in the Working Capital Escrow Account following satisfaction of the payments made under Sections 3.7(g), (h), (i) and (j), (ii) out of the Indemnification Escrow Funds and (iii) inclusion in the Settled Claims Amount as a satisfied claim. To the extent funds remain available in the Working Capital Escrow Account following satisfaction of the payments made under Sections 3.7(g), (h), (i) and (j) and the first sentence of this Section 11.8, an amount of such funds equal to the aggregate amount, if any, of all claims for indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties which have been properly asserted in accordance with this Agreement prior to the release of the funds from the Working Capital Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.7(k), and remain pending and unresolved on such date, shall be deemed to be Indemnification Escrow Funds and, at the time of the release under Section 3.7(k), such funds shall be released from the Working Capital Escrow Account and deposited into the Indemnification Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11 or Article 10, payments made under this Section 11.8 that originally were to be made under Section 3.7(m) shall be made without deduction or set off.

ARTICLE 12

(b) by either Buyer or the Company, if

(i) the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 2008 (the “End Date”); provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose breach of or

107

failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date;

(ii) any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger or any of the other Transactions, in either case, (A) on the basis that the Merger and the other Transactions are violative of any Antitrust Law or (B) for any reason other than as contemplated by Section 12.1(b)(ii)(A), and, in each case, such order, decree, ruling or action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate under this Section 12.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, such order, decree, ruling or action; provided, further, that the right to terminate under this Section 12.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party who has not used its reasonable best efforts to remove such order, decree, ruling or action, in accordance with Section 8.2; or

(iii) the Company Stockholder Meeting (as adjourned or postponed, as applicable) has been convened and concluded and the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained; or

(i) if a breach of or failure to perform in any material respect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement by Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub shall have occurred which breach or failure to perform would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.1 or 9.2, and (x) if curable, such breach or failure has not been cured by the End Date after the receipt of written notice thereof from the Company or (y) if such breach or failure is not reasonably capable of being cured by the End Date after the receipt of written notice thereof from the Company, at least fifteen (15) days prior to such termination, stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement and the basis for such termination; provided that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.1(c)(i) if it is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 or 9.3 not to be satisfied;

(iii) if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before the date required under Section 2.2(d) due to Buyer Parent’s, Buyer’s or Merger Sub’s failure to

108

effect the Closing in breach of this Agreement (as modified or amended from time to time, including pursuant to Section 8.7(c)), and at the time of such termination (treating such date of termination as if it were the Closing Date) the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1(a), (b), (c) and (e) and 9.3(a) (other than the delivery by the Company of the officer’s certificate) and (b) have been satisfied or waived, and there is no state of facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(d), or Section 9.3(c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) not to be satisfied as of such date if the Closing were to occur on such date; or

(iv) on or prior to the seventh (7^th) day after the Debt Commitment Deadline, if (A) Buyer Parent fails to provide the Company with a Debt Commitment Letter on or prior to the Debt Commitment Deadline, (B) the Debt Financing is an Acceptable Debt Financing and Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub requests that a condition to the obligation of Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger be the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the Debt Financing reasonably satisfactory to Buyer Parent pursuant to Section 8.7(c)(i), or (C) (1) fails to irrevocably waive the Financing Condition in accordance with Section 8.7(c) or (2) Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub requests conditions to the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.7(c)(ii); or

(d) by Buyer, if:

12.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Guarantor, Buyer Parent, Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Representatives, stockholders or Affiliates, except that, subject to Section 12.2(e), no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages resulting from fraud; provided, that the provisions of Sections 8.4, 12.2, and 12.3 and Article 13 and the last sentence of Section 8.7(e) and the definitions of the defined terms used in such provisions of this Agreement, wherever located herein, shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.

(i) the Company had the right, in accordance with the terms hereof, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(b)(i) or Section 12.1(b)(ii)(A), as applicable,

(ii) in the event of such termination pursuant to Section 12.1(b)(i) and treating such date of termination as if it were the Closing Date, the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(a), (c) (other than the Antitrust Conditions) and (e), 9.3(a) (other than the delivery by the Company of the officer’s certificate) and 9.3(b) have been satisfied or waived, and there is no state of facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(d), or Section 9.3(c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) not to be satisfied by the End Date if the Closing were to occur on such date, and

(e) The Company, Newco, Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 12.2 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the Company, Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement, and that none of the Buyer Termination Fee, the Buyer Expenses or the Company Termination Fee is a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company or Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which such fee or amount of expenses is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, (a) the Company’s right to receive the Buyer Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and each of its Affiliates (including Newco, in its capacity as Seller Representative), stockholders and Representatives, against Guarantor, Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub, and each of their respective Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives, for any loss or damage of any nature suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated and any other losses, damages or obligations suffered as a result of or under this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and upon payment of the Buyer Termination Fee in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.2, none of Guarantor, Buyer Parent, Buyer of Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (b) Buyer’s right to receive the Company Termination Fee (in its entirety or as such amount may be reduced by the amount of the Buyer Expenses pursuant to Section 12.2(b)(iii)) or the Buyer Expenses, as the case may be, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Guarantor, Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub and each of its Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives, against the Company and each of its Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives, for any loss or damage of any nature suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated and any other losses, damages or obligations suffered as a result of or under this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and upon payment of the Company Termination Fee (in its entirety or as such amount may be reduced by the amount of the Buyer Expenses pursuant to Section 12.2(b)(iii)) or the Buyer Expenses in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.2, as the case may be, the Company and each of its Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives shall have no further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that (i) if the Company fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to Section 12.2(b) or (ii) if Guarantor, Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to Section 12.2(c) or 12.2(d), as the case may be, then (x) such unpaid amount shall bear interest from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at a per annum rate equal to the JPMorgan Chase prime rate, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made and (y) if, in order to obtain such payment, the Company or Guarantor, Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub, as applicable, commences a suit that results in a judgment against Buyer or the Company for the Buyer Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee (in its entirety or as

112

such amount may be reduced by the amount of the Buyer Expenses pursuant to Section 12.2(b)(iii)) or Buyer Expenses, as applicable, Guarantor, Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub shall pay to the Company or the Company shall pay to Guarantor, Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub, as applicable, its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing in cases involving a breach of this Agreement by Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub where the Buyer Termination Fee is not payable or a breach of this Agreement by the Company where the Company Termination Fee is not payable, other than in cases of fraud, in no event shall Buyer Parent, Buyer, Merger Sub and the Guarantor on the one hand, or the Company on the other hand, be subject to any liability for any losses or damages of any nature arising from or in connection with any such breach. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) except as set forth in Section 13.8, none of the Company, Newco, Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub shall be entitled to specific performance and (ii) recovery against the Guaranty shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and each of its Affiliates (including Newco, in its capacity as Seller Representative), stockholders and Representatives, against Guarantor, Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub, and each of their respective Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives and the maximum liability of Guarantor shall be limited to the express obligations of the Guaranty.

(f) If more than one provision contained in Section 12.1 is an applicable basis for termination of this Agreement by the Company or Buyer, as applicable, then the Company or Buyer, as applicable, shall be entitled to assert more than one provision contained in Section 12.1 as the basis for its termination of this Agreement; provided that (i) the Company shall not be entitled to more than one recovery of the Buyer Termination Fee, and (ii) Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub shall not be entitled to more than one recovery of the Company Termination Fee (net of the Buyer Expenses where the Buyer Expenses are payable) and the Buyer Expenses, if applicable.

13.3 Amendments; No Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time, if, and only if, the amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective, except as provided in Section 8.7(c). Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived following the Effective Time, if, and only if, the amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Seller Representative, the Company, Buyer Parent and Buyer or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.

(b) At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may with respect to any other party hereto (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of such party and (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto. No such extension or waiver shall be deemed or construed as a continuing extension or waiver on any occasion other than the one on which such extension or waiver was granted or as an extension or waiver with respect to any provision of this Agreement not expressly identified in such extension or waiver on the same or any other occasion. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law or in equity.

115

13.4 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that (i) all or any of the rights or obligations of Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub may be assigned to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of such party and (ii) any of Buyer Parent, Buyer and Merger Sub may assign (including by way of a pledge) to its lenders or other financing sources any or all of its rights hereunder (including its rights to seek indemnification hereunder) as collateral security (in either case, which assignment shall not relieve such assigning party of its obligations hereunder). Any purported assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

13.5 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Except as provided in Sections 7.1, clause (D) of the proviso at the end of Section 8.7(e), Article 10 and (following the Effective Time) Article 3, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights, benefits, obligations, liabilities or remedies hereunder.

13.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and fully performed within the State of Delaware.

13.7 Jurisdiction. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transactions shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the case of any claim as to which the federal courts have exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, the federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any of those courts or that any suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any of those courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any of the named courts. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on it by notice as provided in Section 13.1 shall be deemed effective service of process.

13.8 Enforcement. The parties recognize and agree that if for any reason any of the provisions of Section 8.4 or 8.6 are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused to the Company or Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub, as the case may be. Accordingly, it is agreed that the

116

parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.4 and 8.6 of this Agreement.

13.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the exhibits and schedules hereto), the Ancillary Agreements, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

13.10 Appointment of Seller Representative as Attorney-In-Fact.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, and without any further action by the Company or the Sellers (other than the Company Stockholder Approval), Newco shall be appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact for each Seller (other than holders of Dissenting Shares) (the “Seller Representative”), with full power and authority in the name of and for and on behalf of such Seller, to serve as the Seller Representative under this Agreement and to exercise the power and authority to act on behalf of, and in the name of, such Seller with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller Representative is hereby granted the power and authority by each Seller to negotiate and enter into amendments to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement for and on behalf of each Seller, to act on each Seller’s behalf in any dispute, litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any document delivered to the Seller Representative in such capacity pursuant hereto and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and execute all such documents as the Seller Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Merger. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Representative shall constitute a decision of all of the Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive on each Seller, and the Escrow Agent, Buyer Parent, Buyer, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and each of their respective representatives, may rely upon such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of every Seller. In the event of the dissolution of the Seller Representative, the Sellers holding an aggregate Escrow Percentage greater than 50% shall promptly appoint a substitute Seller Representative and shall notify Buyer Parent, Buyer and the Escrow Agent of such action, such appointment to be effective upon such newly appointed Seller Representative’s delivery of written notice to Buyer Parent and Buyer of such newly appointed Seller Representative’s acceptance of such appointment and agreement to perform its obligations under this Agreement. As between the Seller Representative and the Sellers, the Seller Representative shall not be liable for, and shall be indemnified by the Sellers against any good faith error of judgment on its part or for any other act done or omitted by it in good faith in connection with its duties as the Seller Representative, except for willful misconduct. The authority conferred under this Section 13.10 is an agency coupled with an interest and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, all authority conferred hereby is irrevocable and not subject to termination by the Sellers or by operation of Law, whether by the death or incapacity of any of the Sellers, or the occurrence of any other event. If any Seller should die or become mentally or physically incapacitated, or if any other event shall occur, any action taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 13.10 shall be valid as if such death or incapacity, or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Seller Representative, Buyer

117

Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Buyer shall have received notice of such death, incapacity, termination, or other event.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, the Seller Representative (also acting by majority) is hereby designated and appointed by the Sellers as trustee of a trust hereby established for the purpose of receiving, holding, investing, reinvesting and distributing funds, all for the account of the Sellers.

(c) The Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) any payment or release by the Buyer Parent, the Surviving Corporation, Buyer or the Escrow Agent of any amounts (including from the Escrow Accounts) to the Seller Representative or (as directed by the Seller Representative) the Sellers shall satisfy in full all obligations of Buyer Parent, Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Escrow Agent, and all rights of the Sellers, with respect to the amount of such payment or release and (ii) none of Buyer, Buyer Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Escrow Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to such amounts after delivery to the Seller Representative or (as directed by the Seller Representative) the Sellers.

13.11 Authorship; Representation by Counsel. The parties agree that the terms and language of this Agreement were the result of negotiations between the parties and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against any party. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement.

13.12 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions are fulfilled as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

13.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THEY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE TO CAUSE THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES TO WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR INTERPRET THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

13.14 Rules of Construction.

(a) The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. In this Agreement (i) words denoting the singular include the plural and vice versa, (ii) “it” or “its” or words denoting any gender include all genders, (iii) the words “including”, “includes” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or not expressed, (iv) any reference herein to a Section, Article, Exhibit or Schedule refers to a Section or Article of or

118

an Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement, unless otherwise stated, (v) when calculating the period of time within or following which any act is to be done or steps taken, the date which is the reference day in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, then the period shall end on the next day which is a Business Day, (vi) the words “shall” and “will” have the same meaning, and (vii) “hereof”, “herein”, “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to any agreement or contract are to that agreement or contract as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. The words “party” or “parties” shall refer to the parties to this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise expressly provided herein, the phrases “immediately prior to the Effective Time” and “as of the Effective Time” shall refer to that period of time on the Closing Date after the Contribution and Spin Off have become effective and prior to the Merger, giving effect to the Exchanges and the Acceleration.

(b) The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, that such information is required to be listed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, or that such items are material to the Company, Buyer Parent, Buyer or Merger Sub, as the case may be. The headings, if any, of the individual sections of each of the Company Disclosure Schedule and Buyer Disclosure Schedule are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or a part of this Agreement. The Company Disclosure Schedule and Buyer Disclosure Schedule are arranged in sections corresponding to those contained in Articles IV and V, as applicable, merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a particular representation or warranty shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such representations or warranties is reasonably apparent on the face of such item, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule with respect to such other representations or warranties or an appropriate cross reference thereto.

(c) The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or otherwise in this Agreement or in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule is not intended and shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment of the materiality of such amounts or items, nor shall the same be used in any dispute or controversy between the parties to determine whether any obligation, item or matter (whether or not described herein or included in any schedule) is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.
