At the Closing, Merger Sub shall be merged, in accordance with section 13.1-722 of the CV, with and into the Company, which shall be and is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.” The Merger shall be effected by filing articles of merger, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.1 attached hereto (the “Articles of Merger”) with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia in accordance with section 13.1-720 of the CV. The Articles of Merger filed shall provide that the Merger will be effective on October 16, 2002 (the “Effective Time”),or on such other date or times as the parties mutually agree.

2.2 Surviving Corporation.

2.2.1 Corporate Existence. The Surviving Corporation shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease at the Effective Time.

2.2.2 Articles of Incorporation and By-laws. The articles of incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until the same shall be amended thereafter in accordance with the CV and such articles of incorporation. The by-laws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until the same shall be amended thereafter in accordance with the CV, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such by-laws.

2.2.3 Directors. As of the Effective Time, J.P. London and Jeffrey P. Elefante shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

2.2.4 Effect of the Merger. As of the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the CV. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.3 Conversion of Stock.

2.3.1 Stock of the Company. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each share of Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including those shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Options in accordance with Section 2.5 (other than Company Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury and except any Dissenting Shares) will be canceled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive payment of the Merger Price Per Share in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

2.3.2 Merger Price and Merger Price Per Share. The aggregate merger price (the “Merger Price”) shall be $23,500,000 (Twenty-Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) plus the Net Assets Adjustment. The merger price per share (the “Merger Price Per Share”) shall be the amount obtained by dividing the Merger Price by the number of shares of Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including those shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Options in accordance with Section 2.5 (including any Dissenting Shares).

2.3.3 Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.002 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

2.4 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, if appraisal rights are available under the CV to holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the Merger, shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any shareholder who shall not have voted such shares in favor of adoption of the Merger and who shall have taken the necessary steps under the CV to seek appraisal of, and demand payment for, the shares and is otherwise entitled to payment under the CV (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Price Per Share at or after the Effective Time, unless and until the holder of the Dissenting Shares withdraws his or her demand for appraisal or ceases to have a right of appraisal (through failure to perfect or otherwise). If a holder of Dissenting Shares shall withdraw his or her demand for appraisal or shall cease to have a right of appraisal, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, the holder’s Dissenting Shares shall be automatically converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Price Per Share as provided above. Except to the extent otherwise required by the CV, Dissenting Shares shall not, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote for any purpose or be entitled to the payment of dividends or other distributions

(except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record prior to the Effective Time).

If any individual Stockholders should die or become incapacitated, if any trust or estate should terminate or if any other such event should occur, any action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be as valid as if such death or incapacity, termination or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Stockholders’ Representative or the Surviving Corporation shall have received notice of such death, incapacity, termination or other event.

All notices required to be made or delivered by Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation to the Stockholders shall be made to the Stockholders’ Representative for the benefit of the Stockholders and shall discharge in full all notice requirements of Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation to the Stockholders with respect thereto.

Disputes between Federal and the Stockholders’ Representative which cannot be resolved by them within such 20-day period shall be referred no later than such 20^th day for decision to a nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm mutually selected by the Stockholders’ Representative and Federal (which firm shall not be the independent public accountants for any of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or Federal) (the “Auditor”) who shall act as arbitrator and determine, based solely on presentations by the Stockholders’ Representative and Federal and only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Balance Sheet requires adjustment. The Auditor shall deliver its written determination to Federal and the Stockholders’ Representative no later than the 30^th day after the remaining differences underlying the Stockholders’ Objection are referred to the Auditor, or such longer period of time as the Auditor determines is necessary.

The Closing Balance Sheet shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the earlier of (i) the failure by the Stockholders’ Representative to object thereto within the period permitted under Section 2.9.2, (ii) the agreement between Federal and the Stockholders’ Representative with respect thereto and (iii) the decision by the Auditor with respect to any disputes under Section 2.9.3. The Closing Balance Sheet, as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of the parties or decision of the Auditor, when final and binding is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet.”

Parent, Federal and the Surviving Corporation shall not be entitled to offset any claim against, or any amount owed by, any Stockholder to the Company, Parent, Federal or the Merger Sub against any payment due to the Stockholders under this Section 2.9.5.

Subject to all of the terms of this Section 6.3, from and after the Closing Date, Parent, Federal, the Surviving Corporation and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively “Parent Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement from the Stockholders, severally and not jointly, of the amount of Loss suffered, incurred or paid by any

Parent Indemnified Party, by reason of any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Article 3 of this Agreement or the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2.1 of this Agreement. Subject to all of the terms of this Section 6.3, from and after the Closing Date, the Stockholders and each of their respective legatees, heirs, and legal representatives (collectively the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement from Parent, Federal and the Surviving Corporation of the amount of Loss suffered, incurred or paid by any Stockholder Indemnified Party by reason of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Federal in Article 4 of this Agreement or the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.3.1 of this Agreement, the breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation to be performed by Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation hereunder or under any agreement executed in connection herewith, or any matter arising out of the business of the Surviving Corporation after the Closing.

6.3.2 Claims for Indemnification. Upon obtaining knowledge of any facts, claim or demand which has given rise to, or could reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder (referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim”), the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give written notice of such facts, claim or demand (“Notice of Claim”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”). So long as the Notice of Claim is given by the Indemnified Party in the Claims Period specified in Section 6.3.5, no failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the giving of a Notice of Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby.

6.3.3 Defense by Indemnifying Party. In the event of a claim or demand asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of the date of the Notice of Claim concerning the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to jointly participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, and, in the case of claims for which the maximum liability under such Third Party Claim is reasonably expected to be less than the available indemnification amount for the Indemnifying Party (after taking into account the amount of all other claims then outstanding for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable and any limitations contained in Section 6.3.4 hereof), to control the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party gives such notice of intent to defend, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof as follows: (i) the Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel compensated by and chosen by Indemnifying Party, which choice of counsel is subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party; (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at the sole cost and expense of Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement that does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If, however, no Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 10 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof, then the Indemnified Party shall defend against, or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter.

The Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

6.3.4 Limitation on Liability for Indemnity. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 until the aggregate amount of Losses suffered by the Parent Indemnified Parties exceeds $250,000 (the “Indemnity Deductible”) whereupon the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses in excess of the Indemnity Deductible. The aggregate liability of the Stockholders for indemnification under this Section 6.3 shall not exceed $3,250,000 (the “Indemnity Cap”); provided that the several liability of each Stockholder shall be in proportion to, and not exceed, such Stockholder’s pro rata share of the Indemnity Cap based on the percentages listed in the Stockholder List. Subject to compliance with all of the provisions of Section 6.3, any claim for indemnification made by a Parent Indemnified Party within 12 months after the Closing Date which is the subject of a Determination, shall be satisfied first from any amounts owing to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.6.

6.3.5 Claims Period. Any claim for indemnification by any Parent Indemnified Party under this Section 6.3 must be asserted by written notice on or before the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date.

6.3.6 Losses Not to Include Amounts in Net Assets. No claims for indemnification shall be made by Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any amounts that are reflected as liabilities or reserves on the Closing Balance Sheet.

6.3.7 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, except as provided in the Consulting Agreement, the sole recourse and exclusive remedy of Parent, Federal, Merger Sub, the Company and the Stockholders against each other arising out of this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement, or otherwise arising from the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be to assert a claim for indemnification under the indemnification provisions of Section 6.3. Except for claims against the Stockholders arising under this Agreement, none of Parent, Federal or Merger Sub shall assert and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to assert any claim against any Stockholder (in their capacity as a stockholder of the Company), for or with respect to any matter relating to the Company arising prior to the Closing, it being understood that the foregoing limitation does not apply to claims against any Stockholder in his/her capacity as an employee of the Company or under any other agreements between the Company and such Stockholder in his/her capacity as an employee of the Company (such as the agreements described in Section 3.18.3 above).

6.3.8 Express Waiver of Other Remedies. Without limiting the generality or effect of Section 6.3.7, as a material inducement to the other parties hereto entering into this Agreement, each party to this Agreement, from and after the Closing and except as provided in the Consulting Agreement, hereby (i) waives, and forever releases and discharges the other parties and their respective representatives from, by reason of or relating to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, any claim or cause of action arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which it otherwise might assert (except for actual and willful fraud or as otherwise provided in Section 9.6 hereof), including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities, trade

regulation, environmental or other laws, except for claims or causes of action for which contractual indemnification may be sought under and subject to the express terms and conditions of Section 6.3, (ii) agrees not to, and to cause its representatives controlled by it not to, directly or indirectly, institute, prosecute or aid in the prosecution of any claim, demand, cause of action, suit or other proceeding against any other party or representative thereof, which is the subject of clause (i) of this Section 6.3.8, and (iii) agrees that, regardless of the foregoing provisions, no party will have any liability or obligation in respect of any claim or cause of action arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that is or may be brought except in respect of Losses, and then only to the extent expressly provided in Section 6.3.

6.3.9 Insurance. Federal, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder, and Federal, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not terminate or cancel any insurance policies in effect for periods prior to the Closing. In the event that an insurance recovery is made by Federal, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (net of all direct collection expenses) shall be made promptly to the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders).

6.3.10 Subrogation. To the extent that an Indemnifying Party has discharged any claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person to the extent of the Losses that relate to such claim. Any Indemnified Party shall, upon written request by the Indemnifying Party following the discharge of such claim, execute an instrument reasonably necessary to evidence such subrogation rights.

6.3.11 Merger Price. Any payments made as indemnification under Section 6.3 shall be considered adjustments to the Merger Price.

6.3.12 Effect of Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.3, none of the Company, the Stockholders, Federal, Parent or the Merger Sub shall be deemed to have breached any representation, warranty, or covenant if (i) the Stockholders’ Representative shall have notified Federal, Parent or the Merger Sub or Federal, Parent or the Merger Sub shall have notified the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, in writing, on or prior to the Closing Date, of the breach of, or inaccuracy in, or of any facts or circumstances constituting or resulting in the breach of, or inaccuracy in, such representation, warranty or covenant and (ii) the party or parties receiving such notice shall have waived in writing such breach or inaccuracy.

6.3.13 Overestimation of Loss. In the event an Indemnified Party provides to the other party a Notice of Claim which estimates the damages grossly in excess of the damages actually settled, adjudicated or arbitrated, as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party may assert its expenses so incurred in a claim against the Indemnified Party.

6.3.14 Certain Limitations. In no event will Losses include claims for consequential, punitive or incidental damages, including consequential damages consisting of business interruption or lost profits.

6.4 Disclosure Generally. If and to the extent any information required to be furnished in any Schedule or Updated Schedule is contained in this Agreement or in any other Schedule or Updated Schedule attached hereto, such information shall be deemed to be included in all Schedules or Updated Schedules, respectively, in which the information is required to be included to the extent such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. The inclusion of any information in any Schedule or Updated Schedule attached hereto shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgement by the Company or the Stockholders, in and of itself, that such information is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business of the Company.

6.5 Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. It is the explicit intent and understanding of each party hereto that no party hereto or any of such party’s Affiliates, representatives or agents is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, other than those set forth in this Agreement, and neither party hereto is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by the other party hereto or such other party’s Affiliates, representatives or agents, except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY RELATING TO THE FUTURE OR HISTORICAL FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, ASSETS OR LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY).

6.6 Access and Information. Subject to existing confidentiality obligations and applicable law and privileges, the Company shall afford to Parent and to a reasonable number of its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other authorized representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable advance telephone notice, during regular business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, to its offices, properties, books and records, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and independent public accountants to furnish to Parent such additional financial and operating data and other information as to its business, customers, vendors and properties as Parent may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all visits to any Company office will be coordinated and conducted so as to not be disruptive to the operations of the Company and to preserve the confidentiality of the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, with the prior consent of the Company, Parent, Federal and Merger Sub shall be permitted to meet with the Company’s significant customers.

6.7 Public Disclosure. Except as otherwise required by law, any press release or other public disclosure of information regarding the proposed transaction (including the negotiations or the termination of such negotiations with respect to the Merger and the terms and existence of this Agreement) shall be developed by Parent, subject to the Company’s review. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3, the Company, the Major Stockholders and Parent agree that each party’s non-disclosure obligations contained in Section 10 of the Letter of Intent shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof.

6.8 No Solicitation of Employees. Parent, Federal and Merger Sub agree that between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date or the date two years after the date, if any, on which this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, whichever period is longer,

neither Parent, Federal, Merger Sub, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall solicit, induce or recruit any of the employees or consultants who provide services to the Company on the date hereof and whose names appear on the Employee List or are otherwise provided to Federal in writing before the Closing Date, or within five (5) business days of any termination of this Agreement to leave their employment, otherwise than in the course of engaging in general advertisements or solicitations not directed specially to such employees or consultants; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.8 shall prohibit Parent, Federal and Merger Sub from making general employment solicitations in the media or over the internet and hiring any person who responds to such general solicitation.

6.9 Further Assurances.

6.9.1 Generally. Subject to terms and conditions herein provided and to the fiduciary duties of the board of directors and officers or representatives of any party, each of the parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In case at any time any further action, including, without limitation, the obtaining of waivers and consents under any agreements, material contracts or leases and the execution and delivery of any licenses or sublicenses for any software, is necessary, proper or advisable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors or representatives of each party to this Agreement are hereby directed and authorized to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate all such required action.

6.9.2 Novation of the Material Contracts. For a reasonable period of time after Closing (not to exceed 9 months) each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the novation of each Material Contract with a Governmental Entity that may require novation under its terms or under applicable laws or regulations, and further agrees to provide all documentation necessary to effect each such novation, including, without limitation, all instruments, certifications, requests, legal opinions, audited financial statements, and other documents required by Part 42 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation to effect a novation of any contract with the Government of the United States; provided however, that this Section 6.9.2 shall not obligate the company or any stockholder to incur any expense or liability.

6.10 Certain Tax Matters.

6.10.1 Tax Periods Ending on or before the Closing Date. Federal shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Federal shall permit the Stockholders’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative. Subject to all of the limitations set forth in Section 6.3, the Stockholders shall reimburse Federal for any Taxes of the Company with respect to such periods within fifteen (15) days after payment by Federal or the Company of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between

book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Closing Balance Sheet or the Final Closing Balance Sheet.

6.10.2 Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending after the Closing Date. Federal shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any separate Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Federal shall permit the Stockholders’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative. Subject to all of the limitations set forth in Section 6.3, Sellers shall pay to Federal within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Closing Balance Sheet or Final Closing Balance Sheet. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Taxable period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company.

6.10.3 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) Federal, the Company and the Stockholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and the Stockholders agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Federal or the Stockholders, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company or the Stockholders, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(b) Federal and the Stockholders further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(c) Federal and the Stockholders further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to section 6043 of the Code and all Treasury Department Regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.10.4 Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

6.10.5 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any corporate-level transfer gains tax triggered by the sale of the Company stock, and any transfer or similar tax imposed by any governmental authority), shall be borne equally by Federal and the Stockholders. The parties hereto will jointly file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.

6.10.6 Tax Treatment of the Merger. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Merger is intended to be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as the purchase by Federal, and the sale by each of the Stockholders, of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Each of the parties to this Agreement shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment.

6.10.7 Section 338 Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Stockholders shall have no liability under any provision of this Section 6.10 in connection with any election made under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

6.11 Notification. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Company shall promptly disclose to Parent, Federal and Merger Sub in writing any material variances from the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 promptly upon discovery thereof, in the form of “Updated Schedules” delivered to Parent, Federal and Merger Sub. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Parent, Federal and Merger Sub shall promptly disclose to the Company and the Stockholders’ Representative in writing any material variances from Parent, Federal and Merger Sub representations and warranties contained in Article 4, and Parent, Federal and Merger Sub shall promptly disclose to the Stockholders’ Representative if any of Parent, Federal and Merger Sub obtains actual knowledge that any of the representations and warranties of the

Company in this Agreement and the Schedules hereto are not true and correct in all material respects, or if any of Parent, Federal and Merger Sub obtains actual knowledge of any material errors in, or omissions from, the Exhibits or Schedules to this Agreement, except that Parent, Federal and Merger Sub shall not be required to disclose anything that the Company has disclosed on the Updated Schedules.

6.12 Amendment of Charter Documents. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, neither Parent nor Federal shall (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) amend the corporate charter or by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, if the effect of doing so would be to reduce or narrow the scope of the Company’s obligations to indemnify its officers and directors who served in such capacities prior to the Closing Date or to reduce or narrow the scope of any exculpatory provision in favor of any such person. Parent acknowledges that the intent of this provision is to give such persons the benefits of indemnity and exculpation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

6.13 Employee Matters. For a period of at least one year following the Closing, the employees of the Surviving Corporation shall be eligible to receive employee benefits that in the aggregate are substantially comparable to the employee benefits currently provided to them by the Company.

6.14 Payment of Bonuses to Company Employees. Parent acknowledges that the Company has accrued bonuses in the amount of approximately $298,500 for certain employees of the Company designated in a list to be provided by the Company to Parent at Closing, and Parent agrees that it will cause the Surviving Corporation to pay out all such bonuses accrued on the Closing Balance Sheet to such employees, to the extent not previously distributed, no later than one-hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date. In the event a listed employee is terminated by the Company (or an affiliate) without cause, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the applicable bonus to such employee on the date of termination.

6.15 Books and Records. The Parent agrees that it will cause the Surviving Corporation to preserve all books and records of the Company received from the Stockholders, or held by the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Closing, and provide the Stockholders or their agents reasonable access to such books and records for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, or until such later date as preservation of and access to those books and records is no longer required by any governmental or similar body.

6.16 Stockholders’ Meeting. In order to consummate the Merger, the Company, acting through its board of directors shall in accordance with its charter and bylaws and applicable law: (i) duly call, give notice of and hold a meeting of its Stockholders as soon as practicable following the date hereof; and (ii) include in such notice the recommendation of its board of directors that the Stockholders vote in favor of the Agreement.

OTHER PROVISIONS

9.1 Termination Events. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date, provided however that upon any such termination the surviving obligations of the Parties under the Letter of Intent, including the obligations of confidentiality and non-solicitation, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Intent:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by Parent if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of the Company or the Major Stockholders and such breach has not been cured within ten business days after written notice to the Company (provided, that neither Parent nor Federal is in material

breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2 hereof, as the case may be, will not be satisfied;

(c) by Parent, if the Company, its board of directors or the Major Stockholders shall have (i) withdrawn, modified or amended in any material respect the approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or (ii) taken any public position inconsistent with its approval or recommendation, including, without limitation, having failed (without the consent of Parent) after a reasonable period of time to reject or disapprove any Acquisition Proposal (or after a reasonable period of time to recommend to its shareholders such rejection or disapproval);

(d) by the Company if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Parent, Federal or Merger Sub and such breach has not been cured within ten business days after written notice to Parent (provided, that the Company is not in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3.1 or Section 7.3.2 hereof, as the case may be, will not be satisfied;

(e) by the Company, if the Company accepts an Acquisition Proposal for any reason, including pursuant to a good-faith determination by its Board of Directors, after consulting with counsel, that not to accept the Acquisition Proposal would constitute a breach of the Directors’ fiduciary duty under the CV; provided, however, that in that event the Company shall pay to Parent the amount pursuant to Section 6.1;

(f) by any party hereto if: (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the Merger; (ii) there shall be any final action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Merger by any Governmental Entity which would make consummation of the Merger illegal; or

(g) by any party hereto if the Merger shall not have been consummated by November 16, 2002 , provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(f) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such date.

9.3 Entire Agreement. Unless otherwise herein specifically provided, this Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Letter of Intent. Each party hereto acknowledges that, in entering this Agreement and completing the transactions contemplated hereby, such party is not relying on any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement not expressly stated in this Agreement or in the agreements among the parties contemplated by or referred to herein.

9.4 Assignability. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be assigned or delegated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the written consent of all parties hereto.

9.5 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

9.6 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that damages alone may not adequately compensate a party for violation by another party of this Agreement. Accordingly, in addition to all other remedies that may be available hereunder or under applicable law, any party shall have the right to any equitable relief that may be appropriate to remedy a breach or threatened breach by any other party hereunder, including the right to enforce specifically the terms of this Agreement by obtaining injunctive relief in respect of any violation or non-performance hereof.

9.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall take effect and shall be construed as a contract under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

9.9 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto consent to personal jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Virginia and agree that the exclusive venue and place of trial for the resolution of any disputes arising in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement shall be either the federal or state court in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

9.10 Legal Representation. It is understood and agreed that the firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP (“DSMO”) has represented the Stockholders in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and has not represented any interest of Parent, Federal, or Merger Sub. It is further understood that DSMO has represented and advised the Company in connection with this Agreement and in connection with other matters during the period before the Closing when the Company’s interest has been consistent with the interests of the Stockholders. In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation under Article VI, the Stockholders shall have the right,

at their election, to retain DSMO to represent them in that matter, and each of Parent, Federal and Merger Sub, for itself, for the Surviving Corporation and for their respective successors and assigns, hereby consents to any such representation in any such matter. Each of Parent, Federal, Merger Sub, for itself, for the Surviving Corporation and for their respective successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the Stockholders and their counsel, including without limitation DSMO, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications between the Stockholders and such counsel; and none of Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Parent, Federal or the Surviving Corporation, will seek to compel disclosure of the same by any process. Nothing in this section shall be construed as a waiver by or on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Corporation of any right to confidentiality, including any attorney-client privilege, with respect to communications made by or on behalf of the Company to DSMO in connection with DSMO’s engagement as counsel to the Company with respect to matters not related to this Agreement.

9.11 Amendment. Subject to Section 13.1-718(I) of the CV, the board of directors of each corporation party to the Merger may amend the Agreement at any time prior to issuance of the certificate of merger. Such amendment shall be made by written agreement.
