If within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Parent does not give Seller written notice of its objection to the statement of the Closing Date Net Assets determined from the Closing Date Balance Sheet (which such notice must contain a statement of the basis of the Parent’s objection), then such statement shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.

The fees and expenses of the Auditor shall be split equally and severally by Buyer and Parent, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand.

(d) At such time as the statement of Closing Date Net Assets is finalized pursuant to Section 2.4(b) or Section 2.4(c), as the case may be, if the Closing Date Net Assets are:

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

4.1 [intentionally omitted]

4.2 Covenant Not to Compete; Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality.

(a) For a period commencing upon the Closing and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing, neither Seller nor any Affiliate shall anywhere in the United States, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Parent: (i) engage or participate, directly or indirectly, either as principal, agent, employee, employer, consultant, stockholder, director, officer, partner or in any other individual or representative capacity whatsoever, in the conduct or management of, or own any stock or other proprietary interest in, any business or enterprise that conducts business or operations which are the same as or substantially similar to the Business; provided, however, that the Seller may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) three percent (3%), and Seller’s Affiliates may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) five percent (5%), of any class of the securities of any Person (but may not otherwise participate in the activities of such Person) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(b) For a period commencing upon the Closing and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing, neither the Seller nor any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, nor the Buyer, Parent nor any Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, shall solicit, hire or employ, or cause any other Person to solicit, hire or employ any employee or contractor then retained or employed by the other or retained or employed by the other within the one-year period immediately prior to such solicitation, hiring or employment; provided that the foregoing prohibition shall not (i) apply to any employment or consulting arrangement entered into with an individual who has responded to a general solicitation not specifically targeted at such individual or with an individual who has approached the applicable employer without having been initially solicited by the other or (ii) prohibit Buyer or Parent from hiring any Division Employee.

(c) The Seller recognizes and acknowledges that it has had in the past, currently has, and in the future may possibly have, access to certain confidential information of the Business, such as lists of customers, operational policies, and pricing and cost policies that are valuable, special and unique assets of the Business. The Seller agrees that, from and after the date hereof, it will not use or disclose to any Person confidential information with respect to the

Business for any purpose or reason whatsoever, unless (a) such information becomes known to the public generally through no fault of the Seller, (b) disclosure is required by applicable Law or the order of any Governmental Authority under color of law, or (c) the Seller reasonably believes that such disclosure is required in connection with the defense of a lawsuit against the Seller; and provided further, that prior to disclosing any information pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above, the Seller shall, if possible, give prior written notice thereof to Parent and provide Parent with the opportunity to contest such disclosure.

(d) Each of the covenants in this Section 4.2 is severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any specific covenant or the scope, time or territorial restrictions thereof are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

(e) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to Parent and the Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, as a result of a breach of the covenants contained in this Section 4.2, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to such parties for which such parties would have no other adequate remedy (and for which monetary damages would not be sufficient), the parties agree that, in addition to any and all other remedies that may be available to the non-breaching party against the breaching party at law or in equity (which such remedies, notwithstanding Article VI, shall be available to the non-breaching party), the covenants contained in this Section 4.2 may be enforced by the non-breaching party against the breaching party, by application for injunctions and restraining orders or other equitable relief. The parties hereby agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 4.2 are a material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.3 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) The Seller shall assume full responsibility and liability for offering and providing “continuation coverage” to any “qualified beneficiary” who is covered by a “group health plan” sponsored, maintained or contributed to by any Seller and who has experienced a “qualified event” or is receiving such “continuation coverage” on or prior to the Closing Date. Continuation coverage, qualified beneficiary, qualifying event and group health plan shall have the meanings given such terms under Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 et seq. of ERISA. The Seller shall hold Parent and the Buyer and any entity required to be combined with Parent or the Buyer under Section 414 of the Code (“Affected Parties”) harmless from and fully indemnify (pursuant to Article VI hereof) such Affected Parties against any Losses (as defined in Section 6.1) incurred or suffered by such Affected Parties directly or indirectly, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, which arise or result from the Seller’s breach of this Section 4.3(a) or Parent or the Buyer being deemed to be a successor employer to the Seller.

(b) The Seller shall be responsible for and shall cause to be discharged and satisfied in full on or prior to Closing all amounts owed to any Division Employee or other employee of the Seller, including wages, salaries, any employment, incentive, compensation or bonus agreements or other payments relating to the period of employment by the Seller, or on

account of the termination thereof, and the Seller shall indemnify Parent and the Buyer and hold Parent and the Buyer harmless (pursuant to Article VI hereof) from any Losses thereunder; provided, however, that Buyer shall provide credit under the Parent’s respective plan to the Division Employees other than Xxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (whose respective employment agreements shall control with respect to sick leave) for their respective number of hours of sick leave set forth on Schedule 4.3(b) attached hereto; provided, further, that the parties agree that Seller shall make payment of wages, salary or other compensation to the Transferred Employees through July 1, 2005 (such payment to be made in the ordinary course on July 8, 2005 with Buyer promptly reimbursing Seller for such wages, salary and compensation applicable to the date of July 1, 2005). Seller shall be responsible for and shall cause to be discharged as soon as practicable after Closing any obligation for contributions owed to any Plans of Seller or any ERISA Affiliate of Seller with respect to the Division Employees relating to the period of employment by the Seller, or on account of the termination thereof, and the Seller shall indemnify Parent and the Buyer and hold Parent and the Buyer harmless (pursuant to Article VI hereof) from any Losses thereunder. Neither Parent nor Buyer shall assume any liability of Seller under any of the Trust Funds, as defined in Section 3.1.13, relating to the period of employment by Seller and such liability shall remain the obligation of Seller, who shall indemnify Parent and the Buyer and hold Parent and the Buyer harmless (pursuant to Article VI hereof) from any losses thereunder.

4.4 Consents.

(a) Parent and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the requisite written Consents from the appropriate Governmental Authorities for the novation to Buyer of each of the prime Government Contracts listed on Schedule 4.4(a) shall be obtained after the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to Seller’s prime contract with the Army, Contract No. DAAB07-97-D3001, such contract shall not be novated but, rather, shall be subcontracted to Buyer. Effective upon the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer have entered into Subcontract Agreement with respect to such prime Government Contracts in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Subcontract”), pursuant to which, among other things, the practical benefits thereof shall be vested in the Buyer prior to novation thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding that it shall be solely the Seller’s obligation to obtain from third parties all Consents, assignments and/or estoppel certificates, including, without limitation, the written Consents for the novation to Buyer of the prime Government Contracts listed on Schedule 4.4(a) and the Consents referred to in Section 6.8, (i) the Seller and Parent shall make good faith efforts, and cooperate with one another, to execute any required novation and secure all required Consents of Governmental Authorities, including the preparation and submission of all required filings, and all other Consents required in order to enable the Seller and the Buyer to effect the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof (ii) Seller shall, from and after the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the applicable federal government contracting officer or agency a written consent to the subcontracting of the Key Contract to Buyer contemplated in Section 4(a) hereof (notwithstanding the fact that such consent is not required to be obtained by Seller pursuant to the terms of the Key Contract); and (iii) Parent shall take such reasonable actions as it deems necessary, including without limitation making Xxx Xxxxxxxx reasonably available to Seller in

connection therewith, to support Seller’s obligation to obtain from third parties all Consents, assignments and/or estoppel certificates, including, without limitation, the written Consents for the novation to Buyer of the prime Government Contracts listed on Schedule 4.4(a) and the Consents referred to in Section 6.8.

4.5 Employment of Certain Employees.

(a) Parent shall make after Closing an offer of employment to each of the Division Employees listed on Schedule 4.5 (the “Transferred Employees”), including without limitation Xxxxx (Xxxx) Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (the “Key Employees”). This Section 4.5 shall not prohibit Parent or the Buyer from modifying, increasing or decreasing wages and benefits provided to any Transferred Employee or to Transferred Employees in general after the Closing Date or from terminating any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date; provided, however, all Transferred Employees covered by the CBA shall be employed pursuant to the terms of the CBA. The Seller shall use reasonable efforts to assist Parent and/or the Buyer in hiring each Transferred Employee. The Seller shall not take any action, directly or indirectly, to prevent or discourage any such Transferred Employee from being employed by Parent or the Buyer, as the case may be, as of the Closing Date and shall not solicit, invite or induce or entice any such Transferred Employee to remain in the employ of the Seller or otherwise attempt to retain the services of any such Transferred Employee, except with the prior written consent of the Parent. Effective upon the Closing Date, the Seller hereby waives, for the benefit of Parent and the Buyer, any and all restrictions in any oral or written agreement with any Transferred Employee who Parent or the Buyer hires, relating to (i) non-competition with the Seller subsequent to termination of employment therewith or (ii) the maintenance of confidentiality of any information for the benefit of the Seller, but only to the extent such information is related to the Assets, the Business or Parent’s or the Buyer’s unrestricted enjoyment of the benefits thereof.

(b) Seller shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the accounts or benefits of the Transferred Employees under any Plan maintained by Seller which is qualified under Code Section 401(a) to be 100% vested and, if the respective Transferred Employee requests, distributable within a reasonable period following the Closing Date and receipt of such request in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. If requested by Parent, Seller shall take such actions as are necessary to allow such Transferred Employees upon their request to rollover any loan notes included as part of such accounts or benefits, to the extent permitted under such a qualified Plan of Seller, to a qualified retirement plan of Parent. Further, Seller shall cause any outstanding stock options held by the Transferred Employees to acquire common stock of Seller to be 100% vested as of the Closing Date and to remain exercisable for a period of no less than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (but no longer than the maximum term of the respective option).

4.6 Waiver of Bulk Sales Compliance; Transfer and Sales Tax. Parent and Buyer waive compliance by Seller with applicable Laws of any jurisdiction relating to bulk transfers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller shall indemnify and hold Parent and the Buyer harmless (pursuant to Article VI hereof) from and against any Losses (as defined in Section 6.1) incurred by Parent or the Buyer based on non-compliance with such bulk transfer provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set

forth herein, nothing herein shall estop or prevent Parent, the Buyer or the Seller from asserting, as a bar or defense to any action or proceeding brought under such provisions, that such code or law is not applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall each pay one-half of any sales, use, transfer and similar Taxes, if any, required to be paid in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.7. Notification of Certain Matters. The Seller shall give prompt notice to Parent of any material failure of the Seller to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by the Seller hereunder. Parent shall give prompt notice to the Seller of any material failure of Parent or the Buyer to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by Parent or the Buyer hereunder. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall not, without the express written consent of the receiving party, be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to any party hereto.

4.8 Corporate Existence. The Seller shall not dissolve or liquidate and shall maintain its corporate existence until the termination of the Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Article VI.

4.9 Actions After the Closing. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents and any actions required of the Seller under Section 5.2) as another party reasonably may request, all the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article VI). The Seller acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing Parent and the Buyer will be entitled to possession of all databases, documents, books, records (including Tax records), agreements, and financial data of any sort relating to the Business.

(b) No obligation of the Seller or Parent, as the case may be (each, an “Indemnifying Party”), with respect to any indemnifiable Loss otherwise payable by such Indemnifying Party under Section 6.1(a) or 6.2(a), as the case may be, shall be payable until such time as all indemnifiable Losses payable by such Indemnifying Party shall exceed $125,000, at which time such Indemnifying Party shall be liable in full for all Losses it is required to indemnify in excess of $62,500, subject to Section 6.3(a); provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 6.3(b) shall not apply to indemnification claims arising from any inaccuracy in or breach (or any claim by any third party alleging or constituting an inaccuracy or breach) of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.1.2, 3.1.7, 3.1.21 or 3.2.2.

Further, the provisions of this Article VI and Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive recourse of the Indemnified Parties for any Losses either Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer and Parent, on the other hand, may incur arising from or relating to this Agreement except (i) with respect to any equitable remedy to which any such party may be entitled (including without limitation as provided in Section 4.2) and (ii) with respect to claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(e) Each Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 6.4) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all available insurance recoveries in connection with any indemnification claim hereunder.

6.4 Indemnification Procedures.

the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of any claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that (a) the counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (b) the Indemnified Party may participate (but not control) in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and (c) the omission by any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual notice to such Indemnifying Party and such Indemnifying Party incurs Losses as a result of such failure to give notice. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that in the event that an Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand. In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of any claim or litigation subject to this Article VI and the records of each shall be available to the other with respect to such defense. Any Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense of any claim or legal proceeding shall not prejudice the right of such Indemnifying Party thereafter to contest its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect to the claims asserted therein.

6.5 Indemnification Escrow Fund. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be available to any party entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 (a “Parent Indemnified Party”) to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Seller under this Agreement. The rights of any Parent Indemnified Party with respect to the Indemnification Escrow Fund under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies to which such Parent Indemnified Party is or may be entitled under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, or at law or in equity, including injunctive relief.

6.6 Survival of Representations and Warranties, etc. Notwithstanding any right of Parent or the Seller (whether or not exercised) to investigate the affairs of the Seller or Parent, as the case may be, each party shall have the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1.2, 3.1.7, 3.1.10, 3.1.14 and 3.2.2, which shall survive the Closing and continue until the applicable statute of limitations has expired, and except as survival periods applicable to Update Representations may be extended (but not limited) pursuant to Section 4.15(a) of this Agreement, all of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date. No Action or Proceeding may be instituted to enforce, or seek damages or other remedies with respect to the breach of any representation or warranty after the expiration of the period of survival for such representation or warranty as

described above; provided, however, that any representation or warranty the inaccuracy of which is made the basis of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.2(a) will survive until such claim is finally resolved if the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of such claim in reasonable detail prior to the date on which such representation or warranty and the respective indemnification obligation would otherwise expire under this Agreement. Subject to Article VII, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that in connection with a breach of said covenants and agreements, the non-breaching party shall only be permitted to make a claim against the breaching party prior to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation.

6.7 Novation Failure Payment.

(a) Upon the first to occur of (i) an affirmative rejection by the appropriate contracting officer of a novation to the Buyer of that certain TAO Delivery Order issued under the Seller’s IT Schedule 70 FSS Contract and its BPA (No. W904TE-04-A-2648) with the United States Army (collectively, the “Key Contract”), or (ii) a failure of the Key Contract to be novated to Buyer on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing (either, a “Novation Failure”), in each case not the result of any act, omission or fault of Buyer or Parent occurring after Closing, then not later than five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of such Novation Failure the Seller shall pay to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Novation Failure Amount”); provided, that such payment shall first be satisfied by disbursement to Parent from the Escrow Fund and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. In view of the difficulty of estimating the damages to Parent and the Buyer upon a Novation Failure, the Novation Failure Amount is agreed upon by the parties as the liquidated damages that Parent and the Buyer will suffer as a result of the Novation Failure and not by way of penalty. The Novation Failure Amount shall be the sole recourse of Parent and the Buyer for a Novation Failure; provided, that in no event shall payment of the Novation Failure Amount pursuant to this Section 6.7 limit or restrict Parent’s and the Buyer’s available remedies under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, or at law or in equity, for any claim not resulting from or arising out of a Novation Failure. In addition, in no event shall payment of the Novation Failure Amount be applied to or counted against the Maximum Indemnity; provided, further that the foregoing proviso shall not diminish in any way the agreement among the parties that the sole recovery by Buyer and Parent for a Novation Failure shall be the Novation Failure Amount.

(b) The rights of Parent with respect to the Escrow Amount under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies to which Parent is or may be entitled under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, including injunctive relief, to enforce payment of the full Novation Failure Amount.

6.8 Assignment Failure Payment.

(a) If, for whatever reason other than any act, omission or fault of Buyer or Parent occurring after Closing, Seller shall have failed to obtain and deliver to Parent or Buyer, on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing, Consents (or novations, as the case may be) from all of the Government Entities and/or Persons other than Governmental Entities listed on

Schedule 6.8 to Buyer itself (in its name as such or as “a wholly-owned subsidiary” of Parent or pursuant to similar language) as an approved subcontractor on the corresponding Subcontract or Seller subcontract listed on Schedule 6.8 (such failure to obtain all such Consents, an “Assignment Failure”), then not later than five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of such Assignment Failure the Seller shall be obligated to pay to Parent that aggregate percentage (up to 100%) of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) that corresponds to those Consents listed on Schedule 6.8 that have not been obtained and delivered to Parent or Buyer on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing (such amount, the “Assignment Failure Amount”); provided, that such payment shall be satisfied by disbursement to Parent from the Assignment Failure Escrow Fund and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; and provided, further, that Parent and Buyer may, in their sole and absolute discretion, elect to accept a Consent listed on Schedule 6.8 that does not expressly recognize Buyer itself (in its name as such or as “a wholly-owned subsidiary” of Parent or pursuant to similar language) as an approved subcontractor on the corresponding Subcontract or Seller subcontract listed on Schedule 6.8, and in connection therewith forego the right to receive that portion of the Assignment Failure Escrow Fund that corresponds to such Consent. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing timing provisions, upon receipt by any party of an affirmative rejection of Buyer itself (in its name as such or as “a wholly-owned subsidiary” of Parent or pursuant to similar language) as an approved subcontractor on the corresponding Subcontract or Seller subcontract listed on Schedule 6.8 (and with respect to DOS Classified Document Management Contract No. LMAQM-02-C-0049, affirmative rejection of novation as well), Parent shall be entitled to receive, not later than five (5) Business Days after such receipt, that aggregate percentage (up to 100%) of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) that corresponds to such Subcontract or Seller subcontract listed on Schedule 6.8 related to such rejection; provided, that such payment shall be satisfied by disbursement to Parent from the Assignment Failure Escrow Fund and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. (Any such affirmative rejection as described in the foregoing sentence shall also be considered an “Assignment Failure” and any such amount to which Parent shall be entitled as described in the foregoing sentence shall also be considered an “Assignment Failure Amount.”) In view of the difficulty of estimating the damages to Parent and the Buyer upon an Assignment Failure, the Assignment Failure Amount is agreed upon by the parties as the liquidated damages that Parent and the Buyer will suffer as a result of the Assignment Failure and not by way of penalty. The Assignment Failure Amount shall be the sole recourse of Parent and the Buyer for an Assignment Failure; provided, that in no event shall payment of the Assignment Failure Amount pursuant to this Section 6.8 limit or restrict Parent’s and the Buyer’s available remedies under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, or at law or in equity, for any claim not resulting from or arising out of an Assignment Failure. In addition, in no event shall payment of the Assignment Failure Amount be applied to or counted against the Maximum Indemnity; provided, further that the foregoing proviso shall not diminish in any way the agreement among the parties that the sole recovery by Buyer and Parent for an Assignment Failure shall be the Assignment Failure Amount.

ARTICLE VII

RESCISSION

7.1 Rescission.

(a) Parent and Buyer shall have the right to fully rescind this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (in lieu of receiving payment of the Novation Failure Amount) in the event that on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date (i) Seller or Buyer receives written notice from the applicable government customer of an affirmative rejection of the novation of the Key Contract (not the result of actions, omissions or the fault of Buyer or Parent occurring after Closing) and (ii) the applicable government customer takes affirmative action such that Seller is unable to provide Buyer with the economic benefit of the Key Contract by subcontract or otherwise (such date of rescission contemplated by this sentence shall be referred to herein as the “Rescission Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, after the six month anniversary of Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer for a failure to novate the Key Contract (whether or not involving an affirmative rejection of the same but not the result of any act, omission or fault of Buyer or Parent occurring after Closing) is the payment of the Novation Failure Amount pursuant to the provisions contained in Section 6.7 hereof. The rescission right contemplated by this Section 7.1(a) may be exercised by Parent and Buyer by delivering written notice to the Seller on or within ten (10) Business Days after the Rescission Date. The rescission under this Section 7.1(a) shall include, without limitation, all assignments, licenses, assumptions of liabilities and repayment to Parent of the entire Purchase Price paid to the Seller and/or the disbursement to Parent of any Escrow Amount held by the Escrow Agent. Each party to this Agreement will execute such instruments as necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 7.1(a).

(b) Parent and Buyer shall also have the right, in addition to the right described in subsection (a) above, to fully rescind this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event that, on or prior to the date for commencement of performance for option year 4 of Seller’s Contract No. S03HAL01 (as listed on Schedule 3.1.19(a)(i)) (the “NJVC Subcontract”), all of the following shall have transpired: (i) Seller shall have failed to obtain and deliver to Parent or Buyer (not the result of actions, omissions or the fault of Buyer or Parent occurring after Closing) a Consent from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (formerly the National Imagery and Mapping Agency) to Buyer as the approved subcontractor under the NJVC Subcontract, (ii) Seller shall have failed to obtain and deliver to Parent or Buyer an affirmative written acknowledgement from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency that no Consent from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to Buyer (or to any other Person) as subcontractor is necessary in connection with the prime government contract underlying the NJVC Subcontract and (iii) Buyer shall not have received funding recognizing Buyer itself (in its name as such or as “a wholly-owned subsidiary” of Parent or pursuant to similar language) as the subcontractor in connection with any task order or special project, including option year 4, in each case on the NJVC Subcontract; provided, however, that with respect to the foregoing clause (iii), a task order or special project prior to option year 4 shall be part of additional such task orders or special projects also in the name of Buyer itself (in its name as such or as “a wholly-owned subsidiary” of Parent or pursuant to similar language) as the subcontractor such that it is

reasonably apparent that no Person other than Buyer itself (in its name as such or as “a wholly-owned subsidiary” of Parent or pursuant to similar language) has also been recognized as a subcontractor on the NJVC Subcontract or in connection with the prime government contract underlying the NJVC Subcontract. The rescission right contemplated by this Section 7.1(b) may be exercised by Parent and Buyer by delivering written notice to the Seller on or within ten (10) Business Days after the Rescission Date. The rescission under this Section 7.1(b) shall include, without limitation, all assignments, licenses, assumptions of liabilities and repayment to Parent of the entire Purchase Price paid to the Seller and/or the disbursement to Parent of any Escrow Amount held by the Escrow Agent. Each party to this Agreement will execute such instruments as necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 7.1(b).

7.2 Effect of Rescission. In the event of the rescission of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party hereto or its officers, directors or stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (a) the provisions of Article VI (but only with respect to claims unrelated to a Novation Failure), Section 7.1, this Section 7.2, Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and Section 8.6.4 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement; and (b) each party shall remain liable for any breach of this Agreement prior to its termination.
