(b) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 7.2, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article II, to the extent that any Purchased Contract or Permit (collectively, the “Assigned Instruments”) is not capable of being transferred by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement without the consent of a third party, and such consent is not obtained prior to Closing, or if such transfer or attempted transfer would constitute a breach or a violation of the Assigned Instrument or any Law (each a “Specified Consent”), nothing in this Agreement will constitute a transfer or an attempted transfer thereof.

(c) In the event that any such Specified Consent is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective, the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts, and the Buyer will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the

Seller, (i) to obtain all consents, novations and waivers and to resolve all impracticalities of assignment, novation or transfer necessary to convey the applicable Assigned Instruments to the Buyer at the earliest practicable date, (ii) to the extent otherwise permissible, to provide to the Buyer the benefits of the applicable Assigned Instrument, at the Buyer’s expense, (iii) to the extent otherwise permissible, to cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Buyer, and (iv) to the extent otherwise permissible, to enforce at the request and expense of the Buyer and for the account of the Buyer, any rights of the Seller arising from any such Assigned Instrument.

(d) To the extent that the Buyer is provided the benefits of any Assigned Instrument referred to in Section 7.2(c), the Buyer will perform or discharge the obligations arising under such Assigned Instrument for the benefit of the Seller and the other party or parties thereto, except for any obligation under such Assigned Instrument that constitutes an Excluded Liability.

(e) Once a Specified Consent is obtained, (i) the applicable Assigned Instrument will be deemed to have been automatically transferred to the Buyer on the terms set forth in this Agreement, (ii) the obligations arising out of the use, performance, ownership or operation of the applicable Assigned Instrument after the Closing will be deemed to be Assumed Liabilities, and (iii) the rights pursuant to the applicable Assigned Instrument will be deemed to be a Purchased Asset.

Section 7.3 Novation of Government Prime Contracts and Assignment of Government Subcontracts. Notwithstanding Section 7.2 above:

(a) Following the Closing, the Parent will, in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 42, Subpart 42.12, promptly submit in writing to each responsible contracting officer a request of the U.S. Government or Governmental Entity, as the case may be, to (i) recognize the Parent as the successor in interest to all of the Government Prime Contracts (ii) if required, enter into a novation agreement (a “Novation Agreement”) in substantially the form contemplated by such regulations and (iii) seek the consents referenced in the Subcontract (as defined below). The Parent, the Buyer and the Seller will each use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose of processing, entering into and completing a Novation Agreement with regard to the Government Prime Contracts, including responding to requests for information by the U.S. Government with regard to such Novation Agreement. The Parent, the Seller and the Buyer will each use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all reasonable information and take all other actions reasonably necessary to execute and consummate such Novation Agreement.

(b) In the event that the U.S. Government declines to enter into a Novation Agreement in accordance with, and to the extent required by, Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 42, Subpart 42.12 recognizing the transfer of the Government Prime Contracts to the Parent, or until such time as the U.S. Government recognizes such transfer by entering into a Novation Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will constitute a transfer, assignment, attempted transfer or an attempted assignment thereof.

(c) Effective upon the Closing and until such time as the U.S. Government recognizes the transfer of the rights and obligations under a Government Prime Contract to the Buyer, in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 42, Subpart 42.12, and until such time as the effective date of the assignment of any Government Subcontract requiring assignment, the Seller and the Parent shall enter into the Subcontract Agreement with respect to such Government Contracts in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Subcontract”), pursuant to which, among other things, the economic and other benefits of the Government Contracts shall be vested in the Parent prior to novation or assignment thereof. Each of the Parent and the Buyer further agrees that in connection with its activities pursuant to this Section 7.3 and the Subcontract, it will comply with any existing agreements or arrangements with the U.S. Government with respect to the avoidance, resolution, or mitigation of “Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest,” as that term is used in Subpart 9.5 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 C.F.R. Sec. 9.500 et seq.), and that each will enter into and comply with such future agreements or arrangements as the U.S. Government may reasonably determine are necessary or appropriate under that subpart. In the event that the U.S. Government affirmatively declines to novate any Government Prime Contract, the Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide to the Parent, at the Parent’s expense, the benefits of the applicable Government Prime Contract through the Subcontract; (ii) cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Parent, and (iii) enforce at the request and expense of the Parent and for the account of the Parent, any rights of the Seller arising from any such Government Contract; provided that the Seller will not be required to make any expenditures or incur any liability or take any actions or refrain from taking any actions that would conflict with any existing agreements or arrangements with the U.S. Government with respect to the avoidance, resolution, or mitigation of “Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interests,” as that term is used in Subpart 9.5 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 C.F.R. Sec. 9.500 et seq.), in connection with any such activities described in clauses (i) through (iv) above.

Section 7.4 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as either Party is actively contesting or defending against any third party or Governmental Entity charge, audit, complaint, action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, claim or demand in connection with any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction involving the Purchased Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, or the Excluded Liabilities, the other Party will cooperate with the contesting or defending Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as may be reasonably requested in connection with the contest or defense, at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless such contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article X in which case, the costs and expense will be borne by the Parties as set forth in Article X).

Section 7.5 Pro-rations. The Parties agree that any Apportioned Obligations, and any refund, rebate or similar payment received by the Seller or by the Buyer for any Taxes that are Apportioned Obligations, will be apportioned between the Seller and the Buyer as follows:

(a) For Apportioned Obligations based upon or related to income or receipts, the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer for the amount of such Apportioned Obligations that would be payable if the relevant year or period ended on the Closing Date.

(b) For Apportioned Obligations measured by the amount or level of any item (including, but not limited to, such Apportioned Obligations as are measured by the amount of capital or the value of intangibles) the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer for the amount of such Apportioned Obligations that are determined by multiplying (A) the amount or level of such items immediately prior to the Closing, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(c) For Apportioned Obligations consisting of unapplied cash security deposits, Buyer shall pay to Seller at Closing the amount of such unapplied cash security deposits and Seller shall indemnify Buyer for any amounts applied by any lessor under the Real Property Leases with respect to any event occurring prior to the Closing.

(d) For all Apportioned Obligations not described in (a) or (b), the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer for the amount of such Apportioned Obligations that are determined by multiplying (A) the amount of such Apportioned Obligations for the entire Straddle Period, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

The Seller will pay Apportioned Obligations that are due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date, and bill the Buyer for any part of that amount apportioned to the Buyer. The Buyer will pay Apportioned Obligations that are due and payable after the Closing Date and bill the Seller for any part of that amount apportioned to the Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement (including the limitations set forth in Sections 10.2 or 10.3), any obligation arising out of this Section 7.5 will not be considered a Loss, subject to any limits of minimum or maximum amounts, measurement of aggregate amount of Losses or any limit of time.

Section 7.6 Agreements Regarding Tax Matters.

(a) The Seller will prepare and timely file all Tax Returns with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer will prepare and timely file all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed in respect of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) The Parties will provide each other with such assistance and information relating to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as may reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or the performance of any audit, examination or any other proceeding by any Taxing Authority, whether conducted in a judicial or administrative forum, and will each retain and provide to the other Party all records and other information which may be relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, examination or any other proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parties will retain, for

six years after the Closing, copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules and other records relating to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities for taxable periods, or ratable portions of any taxable periods, ending prior to or including the Closing Date.

(c) The Seller will exercise exclusive control over the handling, disposition and settlement of any inquiry, examination, or proceeding by a Governmental Entity that could result in a determination with respect to Taxes due or payable by the Buyer or the Parent for which the Seller or its Affiliates may be liable or against which the Seller may be required to indemnify the Buyer or the Parent. The Buyer and the Parent will notify the Seller in writing promptly upon learning of any such inquiry, examination or proceeding. The Buyer and the Parent will cooperate with the Seller, as the Seller may reasonably request, in any such inquiry, examination or proceeding. Neither the Buyer nor the Parent will extend the statute of limitations for any Tax for which the Seller may be required to indemnify the Buyer or the Parent without the Seller’s prior written consent.

(d) If the Buyer or Parent receives a refund with respect to Taxes for which the Seller is wholly or partially responsible under Section 2.3(b)(iii) hereof, the Buyer will pay, within 30 days following the receipt of such Tax refund, the amount of such Tax refund attributable to the Seller. If the Seller receives a refund with respect to Taxes for which the Buyer or Parent is wholly or partially responsible under Section 2.3(a)(iv) hereof, Seller will pay, within 30 days following the receipt of such Tax refund, the amount of such Tax refund attributable to the Buyer or Parent.

(e) Neither Party will agree to settle any Tax liability or compromise any claim with respect to Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, which settlement or compromise may affect the liability for Taxes hereunder (or right to Tax benefit) of the other Party, without the other Party’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(f) The Buyer will pay all Taxes that are required to be paid with respect to any transfer, sales, use, gross receipts, recording, value-added or similar Taxes that may be imposed by reason of the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of the Purchased Assets. The Buyer will timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the payment of such Taxes and will be responsible for any penalties and interest related to any late or erroneous filing.

Section 7.7 Records and Documents. Without limiting the effect of Section 7.6(a), the Parties will preserve and keep all books and records relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities for a period of six years following the Closing Date. After such six-year period, a Party will provide at least 60 days prior written notice to the other Party of its intent to dispose of any such books and records, and such other Party will be given the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to remove and retain all or any part of such books and records as it may select. During such six-year period, duly authorized representatives of a Party will, upon reasonable notice, have reasonable access during normal business hours to examine, inspect and copy such books and records held by the other Party.

Section 7.8 Use of Excluded Names. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.8 and the Subcontract Agreement, no interest in or right to use the Excluded Names is

being assigned, transferred or otherwise conveyed to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Except as expressly permitted pursuant to the Subcontract Agreement, as promptly as practicable following the Closing, but in no event later than 30 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer and Parent will stop using the Excluded Names in any form including by removing, permanently obliterating or covering all Excluded Names that appear on any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability, including all signs, promotional or advertising literature, labels, stationery, business cards, office forms and packaging materials. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event will the Buyer nor Parent use or display any Excluded Name in any way (i) other than in the same manner used by the Seller in connection with the Purchased Assets immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) in connection with services not conforming to the same standard of quality that existed prior to the Closing Date, or (iii) that could detract from or impair the goodwill associated with such Excluded Names. Neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates will use any Excluded Name, trademark, service mark, brand name, certification mark, trade name, corporate name, domain name or other indication of source or origin that is likely to cause confusion with any of the Excluded Names or be associated with the Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date, except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Section 7.8 and the Subcontract Agreement.

Section 7.9 Non-Solicitation. For a period commencing on the Closing Date and terminating one year after the Closing Date, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, solicit (or assist or encourage any other Person to solicit) or otherwise interfere with the Buyer’s employment relationship with any Acquired Employee. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.9 will not prohibit the solicitation nor hiring of an individual solely pursuant to a general public advertisement or other such general solicitation of employment.

Section 7.10 Certain Payments.

(a) Seller will invoice and bill all third parties (i) prior to or as soon as reasonably practical following the Closing Date for any and all accounts, claims, liabilities or obligations referenced in Section 2.2(b)(ii), provided that any such amounts which remain unbilled pursuant to a Government Contract pending the U.S. Government Approval of final indirect rates, and/or any incurred cost audits by Governmental Entities for the years ended 2004, 2005 or 2006, need not be billed or credited until a reasonable period of time following the final resolution of such matters, and (ii) within a reasonable time after being advised in writing by Buyer that the At-Risk Amounts may be billed. Any amounts collected and/or payments received in connection with the foregoing will be an Excluded Asset pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

(b) Buyer and Parent will cooperate with Seller’s efforts to bill and collect the amounts as set forth in this section, including by (i) promptly advising Seller in writing of any developments concerning the matters set forth above or otherwise contemplated by this Agreement that are reasonably related to the billing and collection of the foregoing, and (ii) providing Seller and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours and under reasonable circumstances to all personnel, premises and properties, assets, books, records and documents related to the foregoing, including furnishing Seller and its representatives with related financial and other information in Buyer’s or Parent’s possession as the Seller may from time to time reasonable request.

Section 7.11 Post-Closing Receipts. If after the Closing Date any Party receives any funds properly belonging to another Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the receiving Party will promptly advise the other Party, will segregate and hold such funds in trust for the benefit of such other Party and will promptly deliver such funds, together with any interest earned thereon, to an account or accounts designated in writing by such other Party.

Section 7.12 Certain Novations and Consents. Except as set forth in Section 7.3 and 7.13, the Buyer agrees that the Seller will not have any liability whatsoever to the Buyer as a result of the failure to obtain any Novation Agreement consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of any Assigned Instrument or Government Contract as a result thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, other than Section 7.3 and 7.13, the Buyer further agrees that no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Seller contained herein will be breached or deemed breached, and no condition of the Buyer, except as set forth in Section 9.1(h), will be deemed not to be satisfied, directly or indirectly, as a result of the failure to obtain any such consent.

Section 7.13 Identified Programs. Parent, Buyer and Seller agree that the matters referenced on Schedule 7.13 with respect to the Option Programs and Consent Programs (as such terms are defined in Schedule 7.13), will be treated in the manner referenced on such schedule.

Section 7.14 Lien Release. Promptly following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Payoff Letter and have released the Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on the Purchased Assets that are referenced in sections 1 and 2 of Schedule 4.8(a).

ARTICLE VIII
EMPLOYEE MATTERS

Section 8.1 Employment. The Buyer will offer to employ, commencing as of the Closing Date, each individual employed by the Seller in connection with the Purchased Assets immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Employees”), in a comparable position with the Buyer as provided by the Seller as of the Closing Date and assigned to the same Purchased Contract as such Employee was assigned immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer’s offer of employment will be made at a time reasonably prior to the Closing Date and in a format reasonably acceptable to Seller. Neither Buyer nor Parent will communicate any terms of employment to Employees without Seller’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Employees who accept the Buyer’s offer of employment and commence employment as of the Closing Date will be collectively referred to as the “Acquired Employees.” For purposes of this Section 8.1, any Employee on short-term disability, vacation or leave of absence with a definite date of return will be offered employment as set forth in this Section 8.1, but the Buyer is not required to offer to employ any Employee on long-term disability, layoff or on leave of absence with no prior agreement or understanding to return to employment with the Seller at the end of such disability, layoff or leave. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Employee to whom the Buyer does not offer employment pursuant to the preceding sentence returns to active work status within one year immediately following the Closing Date, the Buyer will offer such person employment as set forth in this Section 8.1. For a

period ending no earlier than December 31, 2006, the Acquired Employees will (a) receive the same or higher base salary or wage rate in effect as of the Closing Date and the Buyer will provide, for the 2006 calendar year, the same or higher incentive compensation and bonus opportunities to the Acquired Employees as those in effect as of the date of this Agreement and (b) be assigned to the same Purchased Contract as such Employees were assigned immediately prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will, after the Closing Date, impose on the Buyer or Parent any obligation to retain any Acquired Employee in its employment. Acquired Employees will be at-will employees who are terminable at-will in the discretion of the Buyer. Nothing express or implied in this Agreement will confer upon any of the employees of the Seller, the Buyer, or any of their Affiliates, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment, or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by any reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) As of the Closing Date, the Acquired Employees will cease participation in all Seller Employee Benefit Plans. Effective as of the Closing Date and continuing for a period ending no earlier than December 31, 2006, the Buyer will provide to each of the Acquired Employees through Employee Benefit Plans provided by the Buyer to its employees (collectively, “Buyer Employee Benefit Plans”) and fringe benefit programs (including, as applicable, sick pay, incentive compensation or bonus programs, vacation pay and tuition reimbursement programs), employee benefits which are substantially comparable to the employee benefits provided to each of such Acquired Employees under corresponding Seller Employee Benefit Plans and Seller fringe benefit programs as of the Closing Date, provided further that the Acquired Employees’ rights and entitlements under such Buyer Employee Benefit Plans and fringe benefit programs shall be effective as of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any SAFTAS Employees who become Acquired Employees will also be entitled to certain additional benefits as set forth on Schedule 8.2(a). As of the Closing Date, each of the Acquired Employees will be entitled to all time accrued for accrued general leave and grandfathered sick leave or other leave accrued under leave policies of Seller as of the Closing Date, provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, no individual Acquired Employee will be entitled to more than two hundred hours of such accrued leave.

(b) In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9 Q&A-7, as of the Closing Date, the Buyer will assume all liability for providing and administering all required notices and benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) to all Acquired Employees for “qualifying events,” as defined in Code Section 4980B, (“Qualifying Events”) occurring after the Closing Date. The Seller will have no COBRA liability or obligations to such Acquired Employees for Qualifying Events occurring after the Closing Date.

(c) Effective as of the Closing Date and continuing for a period ending no earlier than December 31, 2006, the Buyer will provide each Acquired Employee with severance benefits that are substantially comparable to the severance benefits provided to each such Acquired Employee by the Seller as of the last day preceding the Closing Date.

(d) For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Buyer will provide the Acquired Employees with incentive compensation payments as set forth on Schedule 8.2(d), such amounts to be paid in accordance with regular payroll practices but no later than the first pay period in January, 2007.

(e) Solely for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the Buyer Employee Benefit Plans and Buyer’s fringe benefit programs in which Acquired Employees will participate as of the Closing Date and for purposes of calculating severance (but not for purposes of pension accruals), the Buyer will cause each Acquired Employee to be credited with his or her years of service with the Seller (and any of its Affiliates or any predecessor entities thereof) before the Closing Date, to the same extent as such Acquired Employee was entitled, as of the Closing Date, to credit for such service under any corresponding Seller Employee Benefit Plan or severance plan or policy of the Seller.

(f) To the extent the respective insurance carriers will permit on a commercially reasonable basis, the Buyer will (i) waive any pre-existing condition limitation under any Buyer Employee Benefit Plan that is an Employee Welfare Benefit Plan in which Acquired Employees and their eligible dependents participate as of and following the Closing Date (to the extent such waivers are consistent with Employee Welfare Benefit Plans of the Seller in which the Acquired Employee participated as of the date of this Agreement) and (ii) provide each Acquired Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid during the relevant portion of the plan year prior to the Closing Date in order to satisfy any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any corresponding Buyer Employee Benefit Plan that is an Employee Welfare Benefit Plans of the Buyer in which any of the Acquired Employees will participate as of and after the Closing Date.

(g) As of the Closing Date and subject to Revenue Ruling 2002-32, the Seller will cause the portion of its flexible reimbursement plan applicable to the Acquired Employees to be segregated into a separate component and all account balances and salary reduction elections of such Acquired Employees in the Seller’s flexible reimbursement plan will be transferred to a flexible reimbursement plan that the Buyer will cause to be maintained for the duration of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs.

Section 8.3 Defined Contribution Plans. As of the Closing Date, with respect to any Seller Employee Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and is maintained by or for the benefit of any of the Acquired Employees, the Acquired Employees will cease to participate in such defined contribution plan. As of the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, each Employee will be one hundred percent (100%) vested in, and permitted to elect a distribution of his or her account balance in the Seller’s defined contribution plans and will be permitted to roll over his or her account balance in the Seller’s defined contribution plans (or any portion thereof) to a defined contribution plan of the Buyer.

Section 8.4 Compliance with WARN. With respect to the Employees, the Buyer will have full responsibility under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended (WARN) and any other similar statutes or regulations of any jurisdiction relating to any plant closing or mass layoff. For these purposes, a plant closing or a mass layoff will be

deemed to have been caused by the Buyer if such plant closing or mass layoff would not have occurred but for the Buyer’s failure to offer employment to the Employees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Buyer’s failure to employ the Acquired Employees thereafter.

If any third party notifies the Indemnified Party with respect to any matter which may give rise to a Claim for indemnification (a “Third Party Claim”) against the Indemnifying Party under this Article X, then the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party promptly thereof in writing and in any event within 15 days after receiving notice from a third party; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. All notices given pursuant to this Section 10.4 will describe with reasonable specificity the Third Party Claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s Claim for indemnification. Once the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it chooses to do so, to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its choice; provided, however, the Indemnified Party may participate in (but not control) such defense, and after notice of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the Indemnifying Party does not

actually assume the defense thereof following notice of such election. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitations on the Indemnifying Party’s obligations to indemnify otherwise set forth in this Article X and to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of or opposition to such Third Party Claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof).

(b) Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim that might give rise to liability of the other Party under this Article X without such Party’s consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party elects to settle any such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such compromise or settlement, then the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party will be limited to the amount offered by the Indemnifying Party in compromise or settlement.

Section 10.5 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(a) AN INDEMNIFYING PARTY WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY LOSSES OR CLAIMS (A) OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, ARISING OUT OF ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR OTHER SPECIAL DAMAGES OR (B) ARISING OUT OF ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF CUSTOMERS, GOODWILL, USE, INCOME, PROFITS OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, BUSINESS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, SAVINGS, DATA, OR BUSINESS REPUTATION), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED IN CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF, KNEW OF, OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR (ii) CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY TO COMPLY WITH SECTION 10.10.

(b) The obligations of the Indemnifying Party to provide indemnification under this Article X will be terminated, modified or abated as appropriate to the extent that the underlying Claim (i) would not have arisen but for a voluntary act that is carried out at the express written request of, or with the express written approval, concurrence of or with the knowing assistance of the Indemnified Party, (ii) is based substantially on the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party, or (iii) relates to the inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement of which the Indemnified Party had actual knowledge prior to the Closing.

Section 10.6 Certain Benefits. The amount of any indemnification payable under this Article X will be net of (a) any tax benefits that the Indemnified Party receives or is entitled to receive by reason of the Claim giving rise to the indemnification payment, and (b) the receipt of any insurance proceeds paid or payable to the Indemnified Party under any policies of insurance

covering the Loss giving rise to the Claim. The Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such insurance and will account to the Indemnifying Party therefor. If, at any time subsequent to the Indemnified Party receiving an indemnity payment for a Claim under this Article X, the Indemnified Party receives payment in respect of the Loss underlying such Claim through recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against another Person (other than a payment with respect to a tax benefit contemplated in clause (a) above), the amount of such payment, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred directly in connection therewith, will promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 10.7 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated by the Parties as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Section 10.8 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, the remedies provided in this Article X and pursuant to Section 7.13 will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document after the Closing, and no Party will be entitled to pursue, and each hereby expressly waives, any and all rights that may otherwise be available either at law or in equity against the other Party with respect to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, including any claims for rescission. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. The Parties agree that, in the event of any breach by the other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the other Party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages) to seek (a) a decree or other specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach. The provisions of this section were specifically bargained for in the context of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the Purchase Price.

Section 10.9 Intellectual Property Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, the Seller will not be obligated to provide indemnification for the inaccuracy or breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 4.17(b). If any intellectual property owned or licensed by the Seller and used by the Seller as of immediately prior to the Closing Date for the performance of any Government Contracts is not included in the Purchased IP or the Licensed IP (as defined in the License Agreement) or the intellectual property licensed under the Purchased Contracts, then the Seller and the Buyer will amend the License Agreement to include such owned, or use reasonable efforts to obtain the right for the Buyer to use such licensed, intellectual property, as applicable, provided that the Buyer requests such amendment or right pursuant to written notice within one year after the Closing, which notice must identify the specific software requested to be added to the License Agreement or rights to obtain. The remedy specified in the immediately preceding sentence is the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for the inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.17(b).

Section 10.10 Mitigation. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss which forms the basis of a Claim hereunder.

C-1

therein, with respect to the Government Prime Contracts once made a part of this Agreement, any reference to the “Government” or the “Contracting Officer” shall mean Prime Contractor, unless such reference by its terms is applicable only to the Government, and any reference to the “Contractor” shall mean Subcontractor and with respect to the Government Subcontracts with an NGE, once made a part of this Agreement, any references to the NGE shall mean Prime Contractor, unless such reference by its terms is applicable only to the NGE, and any reference to Prime Contractor or the “Contractor” shall mean Subcontractor.

Your contributions to the success of the Business and your active involvement during the transition period subsequent to such a Sale are important to Anteon and to the Buyer. Therefore, on behalf of Anteon, I am pleased to offer you this retention agreement (the “Agreement”), which will provide financial incentives for you to remain employed by the Buyer following the completion of the Sale.

The terms of this Agreement, Paragraphs 1 and 2 of which shall only become effective as of the Effective Date (as defined herein), are as follows:

Retention Incentive Payment. On the Effective Date (as defined herein), you will be eligible for a retention incentive payment in the amount of dollars ($ ) (the “Retention Incentive Payment”), subject to the following terms and conditions. The Retention Incentive Payment shall be paid to you by the Buyer on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the closing date of the Sale. However, you are not eligible to receive the Retention Incentive Payment if (a) the Sale does not occur, (b) you are no longer employed by the Buyer at the time any such payment is due to be paid because of your voluntary termination, resignation, death, disability or termination by the Buyer for “Cause,” or (c) the Buyer of the Business requires, as a condition of the Sale, an employment agreement with you (which agreement contains no adverse change in your salary or incentive compensation) and you have not entered into such employment agreement with such Buyer as of the closing date of the Sale, except for such ancillary non-employment agreements of the Company providing for the protection and assignment of intellectual property executed by all of the Buyer’s employees. If your employment is terminated by the Buyer without Cause prior to the date that the payment is due, you shall be entitled to receive the Retention Incentive Payment. If an Effective Date does not occur within 6 months following the date first written above, this Agreement shall automatically terminate as of such date.

For the purpose of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following: (A) the commission by you of any act constituting financial dishonesty against the Company; (B) your engagement in any act of dishonesty, fraud, intentional misrepresentations, moral turpitude or illegality which, as determined by the Company: (aa) adversely affects the business or the reputation of the Buyer with its current or prospective customers, suppliers, lenders and/or other third parties with whom it does or might do business; or (bb) exposes the Company to a risk of civil or criminal legal damages, liabilities or penalties; (C) any material misconduct, material violation by you of the Company’s policies, or non-performance of any material duty by you in connection with the business affairs of the Company; or (D) any material breach by you of this Agreement.

2. Covenants. In consideration for the payment and agreements described in this Agreement, you agree to the following:

On or before your termination of employment for any reason, you will return all property owned by the Company including files, documents, data and records (whether on paper, tapes, disks, or in any other form, electronic or otherwise), office equipment, credit cards, and employee identification cards. You acknowledge that the Company is the rightful owner of any programs, ideas, inventions, discoveries, copyright material, or trademarks that you may have originated or developed, or assisted in originating or developing, during your period of employment with the Company, where any such origination or development involved the use of company time or resources, or the exercise of your responsibilities for or on behalf of the Company. You will at all times, both before and after termination of employment, cooperate with the Company (at the Company’s expense) in executing and delivering documents and taking any other actions that are necessary or requested by the Company to assist the Company in patenting, copyrighting, or registering any programs, ideas, inventions, discoveries, copyright material, or trademarks, and to vest title thereto in the Company.

The phrase “proprietary information” means information that has not been lawfully disclosed to the public and that is treated as confidential within the business of the Company.

EXHIBIT E

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of ___, 2006 by and between ANTEON CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation (the “Seller”), and ALION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated [ ], 2006 (as amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Seller, Parent, and Alion Technical Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Parent corporation and a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), the Seller has agreed to sell, and the Buyer has agreed to acquire the Purchased Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Seller and the Parent have agreed that the Seller or its Affiliates will provide to the Parent certain transition services that may be useful to effect the orderly transition of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities from the Seller to the Buyer;

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

Section 2. Transition Services. During the Term (as defined in Section 5(a)), the Seller will provide, or cause one or more of its Affiliates to provide to the Parent with respect to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the services more particularly described on Appendix A (collectively, the “Transition Services”). The Parent will adhere to any conditions or policies applicable to its use of the Transition Services as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 3. Nature of the Transition Services.

(a) Level of Service. The Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transition Services to be performed in the manner and at a relative level of service and care substantially similar to that performed by the Seller in connection with the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities during the six month period immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Priorities. The Seller and the Parent shall mutually establish priorities, as between the Seller and the Parent, as to the provision of any Transition Service; provided, that the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain sufficient resources to perform the Transition Services in accordance with this Agreement, and provided

E-1

further, to the extent applicable, that such prioritization shall be consistent with the Seller’s practices during the six month period immediately prior to the Closing Date. Each Party shall cause its employees and, as appropriate, its Affiliates that perform or provide any Transition Service to cooperate in good faith and in a professional and workmanlike manner with employees of the other to the extent reasonably required for the delivery of the Transition Services.

(c) Level of Use. The Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to end its reliance on the Transition Services as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing Date. Except as set forth on Appendix A, as the Parent or the Seller may otherwise agree in writing or as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, the Parent’s use of any Transition Service will not be greater than the level of use required by the Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities during the six month period immediately prior to the Closing Date. In no event will the Parent be entitled to increase its use of any of the Transition Services above that level of use without the prior written consent of the Seller.

(d) Use of Services. The Seller shall provide the Transition Services to the Parent for substantially the same purpose and in substantially the same manner as the Seller used such Transition Services with respect to the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities during the six month period prior to the Closing Date. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit its employees, agents or Affiliates to, resell any Transition Services to any third party or permit the use of any Transition Services by any third party other than in connection with the conduct of the Parent’s business in the ordinary course.

(e) Other Services. If, after the execution of this Agreement, the Parent reasonably determines that a service provided in connection with any of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities as performed by the Seller prior to the Closing Date was inadvertently omitted from Appendix A to this Agreement, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to add those services to this Agreement, and upon reaching such an agreement such services shall be deemed to be “Transition Services” for purposes of this Agreement. The charges for such services will be determined on a basis consistent with the methodology for determining the charges for other Transition Services as provided for in Appendix A of this Agreement.

(f) Third Parties. The Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary or required consent from any third party that is necessary for the Transition Services to be provided, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of any applicable agreements between such third parties and the Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable. If any third party withholds such consent, the Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain replacement services. Subject to Section 3(a), the Seller shall have the right to renegotiate any third party lease or agreement relating to any Transition Service, including changing service providers (notwithstanding any reference to a specific service provider that may be described on Appendix A). All reasonable fees and expenses arising in connection with obtaining such third party consents and replacement services shall be paid by the Parent.

E-2

(g) Access to the Parent. The Parent shall make available on a timely basis to the Seller, or such other Person providing the Transition Services, all information and materials reasonably requested by such Person to enable it to provide the Transition Services. During the Term, the Parent shall provide the employees and agents of the Seller, or such other Person providing the Transition Services, with all necessary access to its premises to provide the Transition Services, provided that such access does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations at such premises.

(h) Financial Statements. In order to assist the Parent in its preparation of financial statements related to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities (the “Financial Statements”) and any audit thereof, during the Term, the Seller shall allow the Parent access to its accounting records and personnel related to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities at such times and in such manner as the Parent may reasonably request. In connection with the foregoing, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Parent’s efforts to obtain access by the Parent or its accountants or auditors to the working papers maintained by the Seller’s auditors related to the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities. The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Parent’s reasonable requests for assistance required for the preparation of the Financial Statements and the audit thereof, including any appropriate and customary management representation letters as may be reasonably required by the Parent’s auditors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent and the Seller agree and acknowledge that the Parent is responsible for the preparation and content of the Financial Statements and that Seller’s assistance pursuant to this section will be of an ancillary nature. The Seller acknowledges that the Parent may be required to provide Financial Statements in a timely manner pursuant to Regulation S-X, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts as set forth above to assist the Parent in that regard.

Section 4. No Obligation to Continue to Use Services; Partial Termination. The Parent will have no obligation to continue to use any of the Transition Services and may terminate any Transition Service, in whole or in part, by giving the Seller not less than 30 days’ prior written notice (or such longer notice as is required under an agreement with any third party providing, or relating to, any Transition Service) of its desire to terminate any particular Transition Service, in whole or in part (the “Termination Notice”). As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the Termination Notice (but no later than 15 days prior to the effective date of the termination as specified in a Termination Notice (the “Effective Date”)), the Seller will advise the Parent whether the termination of such Transition Service will require the termination or partial termination of any other Transition Services from the same third party provider that are related to or dependent upon the Transition Service the Parent seeks to terminate, or will result in any early termination costs related to third party providers that would be payable as a result of the Parent terminating such service prior to the full term of such Transition Service (which third party costs, if any, will be borne by the Parent). If such third party costs would be triggered as a result of such termination, then the Parent may withdraw its Termination Notice within 10 days after receipt of such notice from the Seller, and upon such withdrawal, the Transition Services shall continue to be provided by the Seller without interruption; provided that the Seller has not, at the Parent’s request, delivered a termination notice to any third party provider of such Transition Services. If the Parent does not withdraw the Termination Notice within such period, such termination will be final and binding and shall

E-3

be deemed effective as of the Effective Date. Upon such termination or the expiration of the term of such Transition Service as set forth in Appendix A, the Parent’s obligation to pay any fees applicable to the provision of such terminated or expired Transition Service (or part thereof) with respect to the period following the Effective Date, and the Seller’s obligation to provide such terminated or expired Transition Service (or part thereof) with respect to the period following the Effective Date, will terminate.

Section 5. Term, Termination and Extension.

(a) Term. Subject to Section 4 and the remainder of this Section 5, the term of this Agreement will commence on the date hereof and continue with respect to each of the Transition Services until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2006 or (ii) the termination of the final Transition Service pursuant to Section 4; provided, however, that to the extent any of the Transition Services set forth in Appendix A provides for a later or earlier term, then that term shall control with respect to such Transition Service (the “Term”) . The last date in the Term is referred to herein as the “Termination Date.”

(b) Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by the Seller, (i) upon 60 days’ written notice if the Parent materially breaches or is in default of any payment obligation and does not cure such breach or default within such 60 day period; (ii) immediately by giving written notice to the Parent if (A) the Parent ceases to do business as a going concern without an assignment of its rights and obligations to a successor in interest; (B) the Parent applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other custodian, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (C) the Parent becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due; (D) the Parent commences or has commenced against it any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, or other case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceedings and, if such case or proceeding is commenced against it, such case or proceeding is not dismissed within 60 days thereafter; (E) any substantial part of the Parent’s property is or becomes subject to any levy, seizure, assignment or sale for or by any creditor or governmental agency without being released or satisfied within 10 days thereafter or (F) with respect to a particular Transition Service, the Seller’s fulfillment of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement related to such particular Transition Service conflicts with, as reasonably determined by the Seller, any existing or future agreements or arrangements with the U.S. Government with respect to the avoidance, resolution or mitigation of “Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interests,” as that term is used in Subpart 9.5 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 C.F.R. Sec. 9.500 et seq.); or (iii) as to any particular Transaction Service pursuant to Section 4.

(c) Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement or the expiration of the Term, all rights and obligations of the Parties will immediately cease and terminate, and no Party will have any further obligation to the other Party with respect to this Agreement, except (i) for charges accrued but unpaid as of the date of such termination or expiration, (ii) as set forth in the provisions of this Agreement that are specifically designated herein as surviving such termination or expiration, and (iii) for the rights and obligations pursuant to Sections 10 and 12, which will survive such termination or expiration. Upon the termination of this Agreement or any particular Transition Service or the expiration of the Term,

E-4

the Parties shall cooperate in order to transfer or store (at the Parent’s reasonable expense) all books, records and files directly related to the Transition Services and take all other actions necessary to provide the Parent with sufficient information to make alternate arrangements to perform or obtain from third parties comparable Transition Services. Subject to Section 12(m), the Seller may make duplicates of such books, records or files for its legal records at its own cost.

Section 6. Fees.

(a) Compensation for Transition Services.

(i) As consideration for the Transition Services, Parent will pay to Seller an amount equal to Seller’s fully-burdened cost (excluding general and administrative and overhead expenses) incurred by the Seller in providing such Transition Services; provided that any Transition Services provided by third parties will be charged to Parent based on actual payments made by Seller or its Affiliates for such Transition Services. Any charges based on a monthly or other time basis will be pro rated based on actual days elapsed during the period of service.

(ii) The charges for the Transition Services set forth on Appendix A are based on certain assumptions acknowledged and agreed to by the Parties regarding the underlying costs of providing the Transition Services. If events occur that cause a material change in the underlying costs of providing the Transition Services, the Seller and the Parent hereby agree to negotiate in good faith in order to (A) provide for a proper refund to the Parent if the Seller has already been paid for the Transition Services and the charges therefor have been overestimated, (B) provide for a proper supplemental payment to the Seller if the Seller has already been paid for the Transition Services and the charges therefor have been underestimated and (C) adjust the charges that the Parent will be required to pay going forward for the continued provision of the Transition Services.

(b) Payment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Seller shall invoice the Parent monthly in arrears for the Transition Services. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Appendix A, payment in U.S. dollars shall be made by the Parent within 30 days after receipt of any invoice. During such 30 day period, the Parent may reasonably dispute the amounts set forth on the invoice and provide the Seller written notification detailing the grounds for the dispute. If the Parent does not dispute the invoice within such period, the invoice will be deemed accepted and shall be deemed undisputed. The Parent shall not withhold any payments to the Seller under this Agreement, and the Seller shall not withhold the provision of any Transition Services to the Parent, during the period that any good faith dispute may be pending between the Seller and the Parent under this Agreement (any required adjustment being made on subsequent invoices).

(c) Payment Processing. The Parent agrees to pay a finance charge on past due amounts equal to the Prime Rate (as defined below) plus 2% per annum or, if lower, the maximum rate permitted by Law. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prime Rate” means a rate equal to the prime rate of interest announced from time to time by Citibank N.A. (the “Bank”) at its principal office in New York, New York. The Prime Rate will change on the

E-5

same day as any change in such rate announced by the Bank. The statement by the Bank as to what the Prime Rate was on any given day will be conclusive. In the event that the Bank should cease to publish a prime rate, the prime rate listed in the Wall Street Journal will be an acceptable substitute therefor. All payments hereunder will be payable to the Seller pursuant to wire transfer or other instructions provided to the Parent by the Seller.

Section 7. Personnel.

(a) Right to Designate and Change Personnel. The Seller, its Affiliates and any third parties providing Transition Services hereunder will have the right, in their discretion, to designate which of their personnel will be assigned to perform the Transition Services, including, subject to Section 12(a), the right to remove and replace any such personnel at any time or to designate an Affiliate to perform any or all of the Transition Services. The Seller may designate a third party to perform or cause a third party to provide any or all of the Transition Services, but if such third party was not providing the Seller such Transition Service on the Closing Date, the Seller must first obtain the Parent’s prior consent to having such third party provide such Transition Service, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Seller Transition Manager. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Seller will appoint one of its employees (the “Seller Transition Manager”) who will have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery of the Transition Services during the Term and will coordinate and consult with the Parent Transition Manager (as defined below). The Seller may, in its discretion, select other individuals to serve in the capacity of the Seller Transition Manager during the Term after providing prior written notice to the Parent.

(c) Parent Transition Manager. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Parent will appoint one of its employees (the “Parent Transition Manager”) who will have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery of the Transition Services during the Term and will coordinate and consult with the Seller Transition Manager. The Parent may, in its discretion, select other individuals to serve in the capacity of the Parent Transition Manager during the Term after providing prior written notice to the Parent.

(d) Authority. The Seller Transition Manager and the Parent Transition Manager shall have the authority to bind their respective companies to modifications of Appendix A only pursuant to communications given in accordance with Sections 12(a) and (i), and will be responsible for their respective Party’s monitoring of the status of the Transition Services provided under this Agreement.

Section 8. Proprietary Rights; Software.

(a) Third-Party Software. All fees and expenses arising in connection with obtaining the consents, approvals or authorizations of any third parties with respect to software that is used in connection with the provision of any Transition Services hereunder shall be paid by the Parent. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent that may be required from such licensors in order to provide any of the Transition Services hereunder.

E-6

(b) Seller Software. Any software, development tools, know-how, methodologies, processes, technologies, or algorithms owned by the Seller and which may during the Term be operated or used by the Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of the Transition Services hereunder, will remain the Seller’s property and neither the Parent will have any rights or interests therein.

(c) Proprietary Rights. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Appendix A, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or considered to grant to the Parent a license (whether express or implied) of any intellectual property or proprietary rights owned or licensed by the Seller or its Affiliates, or otherwise grant or transfer any rights therein to the Parent. The Seller and its Affiliates hereby reserve any and all rights under such intellectual property and proprietary rights not expressly granted to the Parent (if any) in Appendix A.

Section 9. IT Services.

(a) Information Policies. While using any data processing or communications services of the Seller (whether or not identified on Appendix A), the Parent will adhere in all respects to the Seller’s corporate information policies (including polices with respect to protection of proprietary information and other policies regarding the use of computing resources) as in effect from time to time and provided in advance to the Parent.

(b) Data and System Conversion Plan. The Seller and the Parent will jointly develop mutually acceptable a data and system conversion plan as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof. The Seller and the Parent each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other to meet the mutually agreed upon milestones, timelines and resource requirements identified in the final detailed systems conversion plan. Following this process, the plan will be considered firm and will be used by both the Seller and the Parent to synchronize their own related project efforts. Any schedule modifications occurring after the plan is firm will require joint approval by the Seller and the Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Computing Capacity. If providing the Transition Services will require the Seller to purchase additional computing capacity, the Parent and the Seller will jointly agree on mutually acceptable means of sharing the cost of such additional capacity.

Section 10. Limitation on Warranty; Limitation on Liability.

(a) LIMITATION ON WARRANTY. THE PARENT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SELLER HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE THE TRANSITION SERVICES HEREUNDER IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER THE SELLER NOR ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSITION SERVICES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, TIMELINESS, COMPLETENESS OR THE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED

E-7

FROM SUCH TRANSITION SERVICES, AND THE SELLER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREBY DISCLAIM THE SAME. NEITHER THE SELLER NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES GUARANTEES OR WARRANTS THE CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS, CURRENTNESS, MERCHANTABIITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY DATA PROVIDED TO THE PARENT.

(b) Limitation of Liability.

(i) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER IN RESPECT OF A CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR OTHER SPECIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF CUSTOMERS, GOODWILL, USE, INCOME, PROFITS OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, BUSINESS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, SAVINGS, DATA OR BUSINESS REPUTATION), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED IN CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PARTY AGAINST WHICH SUCH CLAIM IS MADE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF, KNEW OF, OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

(ii) THE PARENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SELLER IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF PROVIDING SERVICES OF THE TYPE CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT THE TRANSITION SERVICES ARE TO BE PROVIDED ON A TEMPORARY BASIS TO THE PARENT TO ASSIST WITH THE ORDERLY TRANSITION OF THE PURCHASED ASSETS AND ASSUMED LIABILITIES FROM THE SELLER TO THE PARENT. ACCORDINGLY, THE SELLER’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO THE PARENT ARISING UNDER OR IN RELATION TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSITION SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER WILL BE LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT PAID BY THE PARENT FOR THE APPLICABLE TRANSITION SERVICE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION ON LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION 10(b)(ii) WILL NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS BY THE PARENT ARISING AS A RESULT OF THE SELLER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUDULENT OR BAD FAITH ACTIONS.

Section 11. Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, question or disagreement between the Parties hereto arising from or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, the Parties shall use their best efforts to settle the dispute, claim, question or disagreement. To this effect, the Parent Transition Manager and the Seller Transition Manager shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both Parties. If they do not reach such solution within a period of 30 days, then, upon notice by either Party to the other, all disputes, claims, questions or disagreements shall be finally settled by arbitration administered

E-8

by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The place of arbitration shall be Falls Church, Virginia The arbitrator shall not have the authority to award (a) punitive, exemplary or other special damages, or any indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any kind, including consequential damages arising out of or resulting from business interruption or loss of customers, goodwill, use, income, profits or anticipated profits, business or business opportunity, savings, data or business reputation, regardless of whether such damages are based in contract, breach of warranty, tort, negligence or any other theory, and regardless of whether the Party against which such claim is made has been advised of, knew of, or should have known of the possibility of such damages, or (b) an amount of damages against the Seller in excess of the limitation on liability contained in Section 10(b)(ii). All costs and expenses of the Arbitrator and the American Arbitration Association shall be borne by the Parties equally; each Party shall bear the costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of its case. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Section 12. General.

(a) Amendment; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may be amended only by the execution and delivery of a written instrument by or on behalf of the Seller and the Parent and provided that communications concerning such amendment are provided as set forth in Section 11(i) at least 5 business days prior to the execution of such amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations provided by this Agreement may be assigned by either of the Parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that, subject to Section 7(a), the Seller may delegate its duties hereunder to such third parties as may be qualified to provide the Transition Services so long as such delegation does not result in increased costs to the Parent for such Transition Services. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, Appendix A and the other documents referred to herein collectively constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede any prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

(c) Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable to the other for any loss, claim or damage as a result of any delay or failure in the performance of any obligation hereunder, directly or indirectly caused by or resulting from any act or event beyond such Party’s control, including: acts of the government; acts of God; acts of third persons; strikes, embargoes, delays in the mail, transportation and delivery; power failures and shortages; fires; floods; epidemics and unusually severe weather conditions; or other causes beyond the control of such Party; provided, however, that no event of force majeure shall relieve the Parent from its payment obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Transition Services actually performed hereunder.

E-9

(d) Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Party. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement means “including without limitation” and is intended by the Parties to be by way of example rather than limitation. Appendix A will be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if set forth verbatim herein.

(e) No Conflict. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree that the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement are the sole rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement and that Article X of the Purchase Agreement does not apply to this Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 12(e), nothing contained herein will be deemed to alter, modify, expand or diminish the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

(f) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or any portion hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under Law, such provision or portion hereof will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or this Agreement.

(g) No Third-Party Beneficiary. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein with respect to Affiliates of the Seller, this Agreement will not confer third party beneficiary rights or remedies upon any Person or entity other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and the Indemnified Parties under Section 10(c).

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

(i) Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder will be in writing and delivered personally, sent by reputable, overnight courier service (charges prepaid), sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or sent by facsimile, according to the instructions set forth below.

E-11

(l) Compliance with Laws. Each Party will comply with all Laws governing the Transition Services to be provided hereunder. No Party will take any action in violation of any Law that could result in liability being imposed on the other Party. The Seller shall promptly notify the Parent of any compliance problems in connection with the Transition Services of which the Seller becomes aware.

(m) Confidentiality. The Parent and Seller agree and acknowledge that in connection with performing its obligations hereunder, the Seller may have access or come into contact with highly confidential or proprietary information belonging, or relating, to the Parent and its business. For a period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating five (5) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, each of the Parties will, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential (except as may be disclosed to the Parties’ Affiliates, attorneys, auditors or other representatives in the course of the provision and receipt of the Transition Services in accordance with the terms hereof) and not knowingly use in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a detrimental effect on the other Party or its Affiliates, any and all confidential and proprietary disclosed by either party in connection with the Transition Services and the transactions contemplated hereby. Any and all confidential and proprietary information disclosed by either Party will remain the sole property of the disclosing party and the other party shall have no interest or rights with repsect to such confidential and proprietary information. The foregoing will not preclude either Party or its Affiliates from (a) disclosing such confidential or proprietary information if compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by other Law (subject to the following provisions of this Section 12(m)), (b) discussing or using such confidential or proprietary information if the same hereafter is in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12(m)) or (c) discussing or using such confidential or proprietary information if the same is acquired from a Person that is not known to such Party or its Affiliates to be under an obligation to keep such information confidential. If either Party or its Affiliates is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal, administrative, arbitration or other formal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any such confidential or proprietary information, such Party will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other Party of any such request or requirement so that the other Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 12(m).

WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Intellectual Property Assignment by Assignor is a condition precedent to Assignee’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated under the Asset Purchase Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.

2. The rights, title and interest assigned under Section 1 above shall be for Assignee’s own use and enjoyment, and for the use and enjoyment of Assignee’s successors, assigns or other legal representatives, as fully and entirely as the same would have been held and enjoyed by Assignor if this assignment and sale had not been made.

3. This Intellectual Property Assignment, together with the Asset Purchase Agreement and all documents executed in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between and among the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein, and supersedes and replaces any prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, between and among them with respect to such matters. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Intellectual Property Assignment to the contrary, nothing contained in this Intellectual Property Assignment shall supersede, modify, replace, amend, change, rescind, waive, exceed, expand, enlarge or in any way affect the provisions, including warranties, covenants, agreements, conditions, representations, or in general any of the rights and remedies, and any of the obligations and indemnifications of Assignor or Assignee set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement nor shall this Intellectual Property Assignment expand or enlarge any remedies under the Asset Purchase Agreement including without limitation any
