PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the certificates and articles of incorporation and the certificates of formation, all as amended, the bylaws, operating agreements and agreements of limited partnership, all as amended, and any other contractual agreements referred to below in reference to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. and all additional registrants.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.
Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity may be against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against any expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the law.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, pursuant to the DGCL, our directors shall not be liable for monetary damages to the fullest extent authorized under applicable law, including for breach of the directors' fiduciary duty of care to us and our stockholders. This provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of the law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or
II-1
redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. This provision in the certificate of incorporation also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
Our second amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of our company, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and officers. Pursuant to these indemnification agreements, we are obligated to indemnify each director and officer who is a party to the indemnification agreement to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL against any and all expenses, liability and loss, as each is defined in the indemnification agreement, reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, investigation or proceeding that arises out of any event or occurrence related to the fact that such person is or was a director or officer or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any of our subsidiaries. We also have directors' and officers' liability insurance to protect our directors and officers from liability.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL and Article VI of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
We maintain a director and officer liability insurance policy for the benefit of our directors and certain officers and the directors and certain officers of its subsidiaries covering certain liabilities that may be incurred in the performance of these duties, which may include liability or related losses under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Additional Registrants
Alabama Registrants: Madison Research Corporation and Summit Research Corporation are incorporated under the laws of Alabama.
Sections 10A-2-8.50 through 10A-2-8.58 of the Alabama Business Corporation Law (the "ABCL") gives a corporation power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, when acting in his or her official capacity with the corporation, or, in all other cases, not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. No indemnification shall be made, however, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation or, in connection with any other action, suit or proceeding charging improper personal benefit to such person, if such person was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him. Also, the ABCL states that, to the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
II-2
otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, notwithstanding that he has not been successful on any other claim, issue or matter in any such action, suit or proceeding.
The articles of incorporation of Summit Research Corporation, as amended, and the bylaws of Madison Research Corporation provide that each of the registrants shall indemnify directors and officers to the full extent authorized by Alabama law. The organizational documents of the registrants also make clear that the indemnification provided therein shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person. The bylaws of Madison Research Corporation further establish that (i) expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be paid by the registrant in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, as authorized by the board of directors, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation, and (ii) the board of directors may authorize the registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the registrant against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.
Neither the articles of incorporation of Madison Research Corporation, as amended, nor those of Summit Research Corporation, as amended, eliminate or limit the liability of the directors of each of the registrants for money damages.
Arizona Registrant: Henry Bros. Electronics, L.L.C. is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Arizona.
Sections 10-850 through 10-858 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (the "A.R.S.") permit indemnification of present and former directors, officers, employees or agents of an Arizona corporation, whether or not authority for such indemnification is contained in the indemnifying corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws.
Sections 10-852 and 10-856 of the A.R.S. require an Arizona corporation, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, to indemnify an officer or director who has prevailed, on the merits or otherwise, in defending any proceeding brought against the officer or director because such person is or was an officer or director of the corporation. The corporation must indemnify the officer or director for reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses reasonably related to a proceeding. A "proceeding" includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal.
Section 10-851 of the A.R.S. permits an Arizona corporation to indemnify an officer or director made a party to a proceeding because such person is or was an officer or director of the corporation. The corporation may indemnify the officer or director against liability incurred in the proceeding if all of the following conditions exist: (i) the officer or director's conduct was in good faith; (ii) the officer or director reasonably believed that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, where the conduct was in an official corporate capacity, that the conduct was in the best interest of the corporation; and (iii) in the case of criminal proceedings, the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.
Before discretionary indemnification under Section 10-851 may be awarded to a director, the corporation must determine that it is permissible under the circumstances. This determination may be made either: (i) by majority vote of the directors not parties to the proceedings; (ii) by special legal counsel selected by majority vote of the disinterested directors, or by majority vote of the board if there
II-3
are no disinterested directors; or (iii) by the shareholders (but shares owned by or voted under the control of directors who are parties to the proceeding are not voted).
Section 10-854 of the A.R.S. permits a director of an Arizona corporation who is a party to a proceeding, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for indemnification or for an advance of expenses. The court may order indemnification or an advance if it determines that indemnification is fair and reasonable, even if the director did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct described in Section 10-851.
The limited liability company agreement of Henry Bros. Electronics, L.L.C. provides that any member shall not be liable for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such member. The limited liability company agreement further provides that no officer shall be liable for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such officer other than fraudulent acts or omissions or those resulting from willful misconduct by such officer. Additionally, the limited liability company agreement provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any member or officer shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss, damage or claim incurred by the member or officer by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by the member or officer, except that no officer shall be entitled to be indemnified with respect to his/her fraudulent acts or omissions or those resulting from willful misconduct; provided that, any indemnity shall be provided out of and to the extent of the assets of Henry Bros. Electronics, L.L.C. only and no member shall have personal liability on account thereof.
California Registrants: Composite Engineering, Inc., Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. (CA), Kratos Integral Systems International, Inc., Kratos Technology & Training Solutions, Inc., National Safe of California, Polexis, Inc., Shadow I, Inc., Shadow II, Inc., and SAT Corporation are incorporated under the laws of California.
Section 317 of the California Corporations Code provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, other than in an action by or on behalf of the corporation to obtain a favorable judgment for itself, because such person is or was an agent of the corporation (as defined in Section 317(a) of the California Corporation Code), against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. In the case of suits by or on behalf of a corporation to obtain a judgment in its favor, a corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such proceeding because such person is or was the corporation's agent, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred if the person acted in good faith in a manner the person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders, except that no such indemnification may be made for claims as to which the person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of that person's duty to the corporation, unless and then only to the extent a court determines otherwise.
The articles of incorporation of Composite Engineering, Inc., as amended, limit the liability of directors of the corporation for monetary damages to the fullest extent possible under California law. The bylaws of Composite Engineering, Inc. provide that the registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including any action or suit by or in the right of the registrant) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent, or, while such person is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
II-4
such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, but in each case only if and to the extent permitted under applicable state or federal law. The indemnification provisions of the bylaws of Composite Engineering, Inc. are not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person.
The articles of incorporation of Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. (CA), as amended, are silent with respect to exculpation of directors from liability for monetary damages and indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers. The bylaws of Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. (CA), as amended, provide that the registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless directors and officers from and against any and all claims and liabilities to which such person shall become subject by reason of his being or having been a director or officer, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted as such director or officer. The bylaws further provide that the registrant shall reimburse directors and officers for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such directors and officers; provided, however, that no such person shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his own negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnification provisions of the bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled.
The articles of incorporation of each of Shadow I, Inc., Shadow II, Inc., and Kratos Integral Systems International, Inc., as amended, the amended and restated articles of incorporation of Kratos Technology & Training Solutions, Inc., and the second amended and restated articles of incorporation of Polexis, Inc., as amended, provide that each registrant is authorized to provide indemnification of agents (as defined in Section 317 of the California Corporations Code, which includes directors and officers) through bylaw provisions, agreements with agents, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 317 of the California Corporations Code, subject to the applicable limits on indemnifications set forth in Sections 204 and 317 of the California Corporations Code. The articles of incorporation of each registrant also provide that the liability of the directors of each corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law.
The bylaws of each of Polexis, Inc., as amended, Shadow I, Inc., Shadow II, Inc., Kratos Integral Systems International, Inc. and Kratos Technology & Training Solutions, Inc. provide that each registrant is authorized to provide insurance for agents as set forth in Section 317 of the California Corporations Code. The bylaws of each of Kratos Integral Systems International, Inc., Shadow I, Inc. and Shadow II, Inc. provide that liability of the directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law.
The bylaws of each of Polexis, Inc., as amended, and Kratos Technology & Training Solutions, Inc. further provide that expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by each registrant before the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amounts if it shall be determined ultimately that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
The bylaws of Kratos Technology & Training Solutions, Inc. also establish that the indemnification therein provided shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators, and that the registrant shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors. The indemnification provisions of the bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled.
II-5
The articles of incorporation, as amended, and the bylaws of National Safe of California, Inc. are silent with respect to exculpation of directors from liability for monetary damages and indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers.
The amended and restated articles of incorporation of SAT Corporation provide that the liability of directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. The amended and restated articles of incorporation of SAT Corporation provide that each registrant is authorized to provide indemnification of agents (as defined in Section 317 of the California Corporations Code, which includes directors and officers) through bylaw provisions or through written agreements with the agents, or both, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the Corporations Code, subject to the limits on such excess indemnification set forth in Section 204 of the Corporations Code.
The bylaws of SAT Corporation provide that the registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including any action or suit by or in the right of the registrant) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent, or, while such person is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, but in each case only if and to the extent permitted under applicable state or federal law. The indemnification provisions of the bylaws of SAT Corporation are not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person.
Colorado Registrants: Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. (CO) and Real Time Logic, Inc. are incorporated under the laws of Colorado.
Sections 7-109-102 through 7-109-110 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act (the "Act") grant the registrants' broad powers to indemnify any person in connection with legal proceedings brought against him by reason of his present or past status as an officer or director of the registrant, provided with respect to conduct in an official capacity with the registrant, the person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the registrant, with respect to all other conduct, the person believed the conduct to be at least not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. No indemnification may be made (i) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the registrant in which the person was adjudged liable to the registrant; or (ii) in connection with any other proceedings charging that the person derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which proceeding the person was judged liable on the basis that he derived an improper personal benefit, unless and only to the extent the court in which such action was brought or another court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, despite such adjudication, but in view of all relevant circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for reasonable expenses as the court deems proper. In addition, to the extent that any such person is successful in the defense of any such legal proceeding, the registrant is required by the Act to indemnify him against reasonable expenses.
The articles of incorporation of Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. (CO), as amended, are silent with respect to exculpation of directors from liability for monetary damages and indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers.
II-6
The bylaws of Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc.

The organizational documents of all Delaware-incorporated registrants, except for Digital Fusion, Inc. and KPSS Government Solutions, Inc. obligate each of the registrants to indemnify their directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The amended and restated bylaws of Digital Fusion, Inc. differ in that they provide that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matterwhether or not it is by or in the right of the corporationas to which the indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court deems proper.
The bylaws and seconded amended and restated certificate of incorporation of AI Metrix, Inc., as amended, the amended and restated bylaws of Digital Fusion, Inc. and the bylaws of JMA Associates, Inc. obligate the registrant to pay in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding the expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by a director or officer in defending or otherwise being involved in such proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The bylaws of each of Kratos Public Safety & Security Solutions, Inc. and WFI NMC Corp. provide instead that each of the registrants may pay in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding the expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending such proceeding, contingent upon the authorization of the board of directors and receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

The right to indemnification is a contract right and includes the right to be paid by the registrant the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the registrant of an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified.

The amended and restated bylaws of Digital Fusion, Inc., on the other hand, mandate that the registrant purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to serve as a director or officer of the registrant against any liability asserted against and incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability, so long as such insurance is available on acceptable terms as decided by the board of directors.

(DE), Herley Industries, Inc., Herley-CTI, Inc., Herley-RSS, Inc., Kratos Networks, Inc., MSI Acquisition Corp., and Secureinfo Corporation and of the certificate of incorporation of Kratos Unmanned Systems Solutions, Inc., as amended, are not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person. The indemnification provisions in the articles of incorporation of Herley-CTI, Inc. and Herley-RSS, Inc. and the sixth amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Secureinfo Corporation, as amended, are not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled.

The registrant shall have no obligation to indemnify a member or manager to the extent, if any, that the member or manager is entitled to be indemnified by another source, such as, without limitation, an insurance company.

The amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement of SCT Acquisition, LLC provides that the registrant shall indemnify, save harmless, and pay all judgments and claims against any member, officer, employee, advisor or agent relating to any liability or damage incurred by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by such member, officer, employee, advisor or agent in connection with the business of the corporation, including attorneys' fees incurred by such member, officer, employee, advisor or agent in connection with the defense of any action based on any such act or omission.

II-10
Florida Registrant: DEI Services Corporation, Digital Fusion Solutions, Inc., and Micro Systems, Inc. are incorporated under the laws of Florida.
Section 607.0831 of the Florida Business Corporation Act provides, among other things, that a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to a corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act, by the director, regarding corporate management or policy, unless the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and such breach or failure constitutes (a) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (b) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; (c) a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section 607.0834 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (relating to the liability of the directors for improper distributions) are applicable; (d) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a stockholders; or (e) recklessness or an act or omission in bad faith or with malicious purpose or with wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety or property, in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than such corporation or a stockholder.
Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act authorizes, among other things, a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in such a position for any entity) against liability incurred in connection with such proceedings, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The Florida Business Corporation Act requires that a director, officer or employee be indemnified for actual and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) to the extent that he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding. Florida law also allows expenses of defending a proceeding to be advanced by a corporation before the final disposition of the proceedings, provided that the officer, director or employee undertakes to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that indemnification is not permitted.
The Florida Business Corporation Act states that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided pursuant to Section 607.0850 is not exclusive and that indemnification may be provided by a corporation pursuant to other means, including agreements or bylaw provisions. Florida law prohibits indemnification or advancement of expenses, however, if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that the actions of a director, officer or employee constitute (i) a violation of criminal law, unless he or she had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which such person derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) willful misconduct or conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in the case of a derivative action or a proceeding by or in the right of a stockholder, or (iv) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section 607.0834 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (relating to the liability of directors for improper distributions) are applicable.
The articles of incorporation and bylaws of DEI Services Corporation are silent with respect to exculpation of directors from liability for monetary damages and indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers.

II-11
director, officer, employee, or agent of the registrant or serves or served any other corporation or other enterprise in any capacity at the request of the registrant, shall be indemnified by the registrant, and the registrant will advance his related expenses to the full extent permitted by Florida law. In discharging his duty, any director, officer, employee, or agent, when acting in good faith, may rely upon information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by (1) one or more officers or employees of the registrant whom the director, officer, employee, or agent reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented, (2) counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the director, officer, employee, or agent believes to be within that person's professional or expert competence, or (3) in the case of a director, a committee of the board of directors upon which he does not serve, duly designated according to law, as to matters within its designated authority, if the director reasonably believes that the committee is competent. The foregoing right of indemnification or reimbursement is exclusive of other rights to which the person, his heirs, or personal representatives may be entitled. The registrant may, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of its board of directors, purchase insurance, which may be for the benefit of all directors, officers, or employees.
The restated articles of incorporation of Micro Systems, Inc., as amended, are silent with respect to exculpation of directors from liability for monetary damages and indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers.
The bylaws of Micro Systems, Inc. provide that the registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the registrant) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The indemnification provisions provided by the bylaws of Micro Systems, Inc. are not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer may be entitled under the articles of incorporation, bylaws, any resolution of stockholders or directors, any agreement or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Georgia Registrant: Kratos Southeast, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of Georgia.
Section 14-2-851(a) of the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the "GBCC") provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual who is party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (i) such individual conducted himself or herself in good faith; and (ii) such individual reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that such conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, (b) in all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, that the individual had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful. Section 14-2-851(d) of the GBCC provides that a corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the relevant standard of conduct, or in connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section 14-2-854 of the GBCC, a court may order a corporation to indemnify a director if such court determines, in view of all the relevant circumstances, that it is fair and reasonable to indemnify or
II-12
advance expenses to the director, even if the director has not met the relevant standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 14-2-851 of the GBCC, failed to comply with Section 14-2-853 of the GBCC, or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of Section 14-2-851(d) of the GBCC but if the director was adjudged so liable, the indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Section 14-2-852 of the GBCC provides that a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.
Section 14-2-857 of the GBCC provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a director. If the officer is not a director (or if the officer is a director but the sole basis on which he or she is made a party to the proceeding is an act or omission solely as an officer), the corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to such officer to such further extent as may be provided by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation, by a resolution of the board of directors of the corporation, or by contract, except for liability arising out of conduct that constitutes: (i) the appropriation, in violation of their duties, of any business opportunity of the corporation; (ii) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) the types of liability set forth in Section 14-2-832 of the GBCC; or (iv) receipt of an improper personal benefit. An officer of a corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 14-2-852 of the GBCC may apply to a court under Section 14-2-854 of the GBCC for indemnification or advances, in each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to indemnification under those provisions. Finally, a corporation may also indemnify an employee or agent who is not a director to the extent, consistent with public policy, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation or bylaws, by general or specific action by its board of directors or by contract.
The amended and restated articles of incorporation and the amended and restated bylaws of Kratos Southeast, Inc. exculpate the directors from liability for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Georgia law.
The amended and restated articles of incorporation also provide that the registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of the Georgia Business Corporation Code, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in, or covered by, Georgia law, and any such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
The amended and restated bylaws provide also that expenses incurred in any claim, action, suit or proceeding may only be paid or reimbursed by the registrant in advance of the final disposition of such claim, action, suit or proceeding if authorized by the board of directors or shareholders upon receipt from the director or officer of (i) a written affirmation of his good faith belief either that he has met the relevant standard of conduct set forth in the GBCC or that the proceeding involves conduct for which liability has been eliminated under a provision of the articles of incorporation, and (ii) a written undertaking by such person to repay such advances if it ultimately shall be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. Additionally, the registrant may also purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, on behalf of an individual who is or was a director or officer of the registrant against liability asserted against or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising from his
II-13
status as a director or officer, whether or not the registrant would have the power to indemnify him against the same liability under its bylaws.
Indiana Registrants:
(a) Haverstick Consulting, Inc. and HGS Holdings, Inc. are incorporated under the laws of Indiana.
Chapter 37 of the Indiana Corporation Law ("INCL") states that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if the individual's conduct was in good faith, the individual reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in the individual's official capacity with the corporation, that the individual's conduct was in its best interests, and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual either had reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation must indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because the director is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding. A corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if the director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of the director's good faith belief that the director has met the standard of conduct described in the INCL, the director furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on the director's behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the director did not meet the standard of conduct and a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under the law. A corporation may not indemnify a director unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set forth under the law. The determination shall be made by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the proceeding, or by the other methods specified in Chapter 37 of the INCL.
The indemnification and advance for expenses provided for or authorized by the INCL does not exclude any other rights to indemnification and advance for expenses that a person may have under a corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws or certain other duly authorized agreements.
The fourth amended and restated articles of incorporation of Haverstick Consulting, Inc., as amended, and the articles of incorporation of HGS Holdings, Inc. provide that the directors shall be immune from personal liability for any action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of and the general principles of the Indiana Business Corporation Law.
The amended and restated bylaws of Haverstick Consulting, Inc. and the bylaws of HGS Holdings, Inc. both authorize the indemnification provisions described above to the fullest extent permitted under Indiana law.
(b) Rocket Support Services, LLC is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Indiana.
Chapter 2 of the Indiana Business Flexibility Act provides that, subject to any standards and restrictions set forth in a company's operating agreement, a limited liability company may indemnify and hold harmless any member, manager, agent or employee from and against any and all claims and demands, unless the action or failure to act for which indemnification is sought constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness.
The amended and restated operating agreement of Rocket Support Services, LLC provides that the registrant is obligated to indemnify the manager and any officer of the registrant against any
II-14
liability or expense incurred with respect to claims asserted against the manager or such officer by reason of being the manager or officer of the registrant or arising out of or in connection with any action taken or failure to act for or on behalf of the registrant to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Maryland Registrants:
(a) Carlsbad ISI, Inc. and Reality Based IT Services, Ltd. are incorporated under the laws of Maryland.
The Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was a result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right if the corporation or if the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the corporation nor may a director be indemnified in circumstances in which the director is found liable for an improper personal benefit. Additionally, the MGCL permits a corporation to include in its charter any provision expanding or limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages, so long as such provision does not restrict or limit the liability of its directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders (1) to the extent that it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property, or services for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property, or services actually received, or (2) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person's action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.
The articles of incorporation, as amended, and the amended and restated bylaws of Reality Based IT Services, Ltd. are silent with respect to exculpation of directors from liability for monetary damages and indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers.
The articles of incorporation of Carlsbad ISI, Inc., as amended, provide that the registrant shall indemnify (A) its directors and officers, whether serving the registrant or at its request any other entity, to the full extent required or permitted by Maryland law, including the advance of expenses under the procedures and to the full extent permitted by law and (B) other employees and agents to such extent as shall be authorized by the board of directors or the registrant's bylaws and be permitted by law. The foregoing rights of indemnification are exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The board of directors can take such action as is necessary to carry out these indemnification provisions and is expressly empowered to adopt, approve and amend from time to time such by-laws, resolutions or contracts implementing such provisions or such further indemnification arrangements as may be permitted by law.

Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Data Schedules
(a) Exhibits
See Exhibit Index
(b) Financial Statement Schedules
(a) Each of the undersigned co-registrants hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
II-26
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-27
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Diego, State of California, on September 11, 2014.

Exchange Offer of up to $625,000,000 of the |
|
7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 of |
|
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel in the State of Alabama (the State) to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on August 20, 2014, as amended September 11, 2014 (the Registration Statement) by the Company and the additional registrants named therein with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), relating to an offer to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $625,000,000 of the Companys 7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the Exchange Notes), which are being registered under the Securities Act, for an equal principal amount of the Companys outstanding 7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the Unregistered Notes).
To our knowledge, the Unregistered Notes were, and the Exchange Notes will be, issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 14, 2014 (the Indenture), between the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein (the Guarantors) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. The Indenture provides that the Exchange Notes will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed (the Guarantees) as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest by each of the Guarantors pursuant to the Indenture.
In connection with the opinion set forth below, we have examined (i) an unfiled copy of the Registration Statement; (ii) the Indenture; (iii) the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws and other constituent documents of each of Madison Research Corporation, an Alabama corporation (Madison) and Summit Research Corporation, an Alabama corporation
(Summit, and together with Madison, the Alabama Guarantors); and (iv) certain resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of each of the Alabama Guarantors. We also have made such investigations of law and examined originals or copies of such other documents and records as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. With your approval, we have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Alabama Guarantors and other sources believed by us to be responsible. In the course of the foregoing investigations and examinations, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures on, and the authenticity of, all documents and records submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents and records of all documents and records submitted to us as electronic copies, telecopies, photocopies or conformed copies, and (ii) the truthfulness of all statements of fact set forth in the documents and records examined by us.
Without limiting the foregoing, we have also examined and relied upon: (i) a certificate of existence for Summit issued by the Alabama Secretary of State dated August 11, 2014 (the Summit Certificate of Existence); (ii) a good standing certificate for Summit issued by the Alabama Department of Revenue dated August 11, 2014 (the Summit Certificate of Good Standing); (iii) a certificate of existence for Madison issued by the Alabama Secretary of State dated August 11, 2014 (the Madison Certificate of Existence); and (iv) a good standing certificate for Madison issued by the Alabama Department of Revenue dated August 11, 2014 (the Madison Certificate of Good Standing).
ASSUMPTIONS
In rendering the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have with your consent made the following additional assumptions without independent investigation:
1. The terms and conditions of the Indenture have not been amended, modified or supplemented by any other agreement, action or understanding of the parties, there has been no waiver of any of the material provisions of the Indenture, and the Indenture, as executed and delivered, is identical in all material respects with the copy we have examined. There are no other agreements or understandings among the parties and no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would supplement, qualify or render invalid or unenforceable any of the terms of the Indenture.
2. Each party to and beneficiary of the Indenture has complied and will comply with all terms and conditions of the Indenture, and the conduct of the parties to and beneficiaries of the Indenture has complied and will comply with requirements of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability.
3. There has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, concealment, misrepresentation, fraud, duress, undue influence or criminal activity on the part of any party to or beneficiary of the Indenture or any other documents executed in connection therewith with respect to the transactions contemplated thereby.
4. All transactions and conditions contemplated by the Indenture to have occurred at or prior to the date hereof have occurred or have been waived by the appropriate parties.
OPINION
Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof, that:
1. Each of the Alabama Guarantors is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State. In giving this opinion we have relied solely on the Summit Certificate of Existence, the Summit Certificate of Good Standing, the Madison Certificate of Existence and the Madison Certificate of Good Standing, we have assumed that such certificates were properly given and remain accurate as of the date of this opinion, and we have not made any independent investigation with respect thereto.
2. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Alabama Guarantors.
3. The Guarantees have been duly authorized by each of the Alabama Guarantors.
COMMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following limitations, qualifications, comments and exceptions, in addition to all other assumptions and qualifications herein:
1. We have not examined the files and records of Summit or Madison, and we have not conducted any independent review or investigation of any of the transactions or contractual arrangements of Summit or Madison. As used herein, of which we are aware and to our knowledge means the actual knowledge of facts or other information by only those lawyers in our firm who have rendered legal services in connection with the delivery of this opinion; however, unless otherwise expressly indicated, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of any such statement, and no inference that we have any knowledge of any matters pertaining to such statement should be drawn.
2. We neither express nor imply any opinion as to the enforceability of any provisions of the Indenture.
3. We express no opinion concerning the creation, validity, attachment, perfection, enforceability or priority of any mortgage, pledge, assignment, security interest or other lien or interest created or granted under the Indenture, or as to any provisions of the Indenture providing for rights of set-off or liquidated damages, or whereby any party waives or releases procedural, substantive, constitutional or other legal or equitable rights, discharges defenses, or limits or disclaims liability.
4. We express no opinion regarding (or compliance with or the effect of noncompliance with) any local laws, rules or regulations, any state or federal tax laws, rules or regulations (including, without limitation, liens for unpaid taxes), any state or federal securities or blue sky laws, rules or regulations, or any state or federal anti-trust, unfair competition, pension, employee benefit, bulk transfer, occupational health and safety, labor, environmental, hazardous materials, patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property, racketeering, insurance company or banking laws, rules or regulations, any criminal statutes of general application, any law concerning national or local emergency, or any laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, resolutions or the like relating to zoning, subdivision, platting of land or other land-use matters, or other laws excluded by customary practice. We express no opinion as to any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the subject transactions because of the nature of the industry of any parties to the Indenture or of any of their affiliates.
5. We express no opinion regarding applicable choice of law rules.
6. We neither express nor imply any opinion with respect to any documents relating to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture other than the Indenture, and any opinion herein with respect to the Indenture expressly excludes any opinion with respect to any such other documents or any provisions of any such other documents that are incorporated into the Indenture by reference to any such other documents.
7. We do not regularly represent the Alabama Guarantors in any capacity, and have no working familiarity with the Alabama Guarantors. We have been engaged by the Company solely for the issuance of this opinion.
8. We call to your attention the fact that any Person other than the Alabama Guarantors which is a party to the Indenture and which exercises in the State any of the rights or remedies provided in the Indenture may be required to qualify to do business in the State before exercising such rights or remedies.
9. The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of general application of the State, and we express no opinion with respect to federal law or the laws of any other state or jurisdiction or with respect to local laws, ordinances or rules of any municipality, county or other political subdivision of the State. The opinions expressed herein are based on the laws of the State in effect on the date hereof and are subject to future changes in applicable law. To the extent that any portion of the Indenture is governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State, we express no opinion with respect to such portion.
10. This opinion is being delivered to and accepted by you with the understanding that it is an opinion only and that it is not a guaranty or insuring agreement of any kind whatsoever or an assurance of future events or of any particular result under any particular set of facts or circumstances.
11. The opinions expressed herein are effective only as of the date of this opinion, and we assume no obligation to advise you of any matters which come to our attention thereafter.
12. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading Legal Matters in the Registration Statement, as the firm that rendered this opinion. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.
13. This opinion may be relied upon by the purchasers of the Exchange Notes and the addressee hereof, their respective successors and assigns permitted by the Indenture, and DLA Piper LLP (US), which we understand intends to rely upon this opinion for purposes of the opinion such firm expects to deliver in connection with the Registration Statement, and we hereby consent to such reliance as though this opinion were addressed to such persons.

Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts or circumstances or the assumed facts set forth herein, we accept no responsibility to make any such investigation, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts or circumstances or of our having made any independent review thereof should be drawn from our representation of the Company or the Indiana Subsidiaries. Our representation of the Company and the Indiana Subsidiaries is limited to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and other matters specifically referred to us by the Company and Indiana Subsidiaries.
In rendering this opinion letter to you, we have assumed without independent investigation and with your permission:
(a) The genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of natural persons executing the Transaction Documents and the Authorization Documents, whether on behalf of themselves or other persons or entities, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.
(b) The documents that have been or will be executed and delivered in consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents are or will be identical in all material and relevant respects with the copies of the documents we have examined and on which this opinion is based.
(c) Each party to the Transaction Documents (other than the Indiana Subsidiaries) (i) has been duly organized, is validly existing, and where applicable is in good standing or in existence under its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or registration, (ii) has full corporate or other organizational power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, receive and perform each of the Transaction Documents, and (iii) is qualified, to the extent that qualification is necessary, and authorized to do business in the State of Indiana.
(d) The entry into, execution, delivery, receipt, and performance of the Transaction Documents by each of the parties thereto (other than the Indiana Subsidiaries) has been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of such parties.
(e) The provisions of the Transaction Documents which are expressly stated to be governed by the laws of any state other than the State of Indiana constitute the valid, legal, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto in accordance with the terms thereof under the laws of such other state, and no provision of the laws of any other state that are applicable to the Transaction Documents violates the public policy of the State of Indiana or the purpose of any Indiana law such that a court would determine that the public policy of the State of Indiana would require it to be applied in any specific instance.
(f) Each of the Transaction Documents has been appropriately completed, executed and delivered (other than by the Indiana Subsidiaries) in the forms submitted to us for review, with all appropriate schedules and exhibits attached and all blanks appropriately filled in.
(g) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by all parties thereto will be free of intentional or unintentional mistake, misrepresentation, concealment, fraud, undue influence, duress or criminal activity.
(h) All terms and conditions of or relating to the transactions described in the Transaction Documents are correctly and completely contained in the Transaction Documents, and the Transaction Documents have not been amended or modified by oral or written agreement or by conduct of the parties thereto; and there are no other agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties, that would, in either case, define, supplement, qualify or render invalid or unenforceable any of the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents that are opined on herein.
(i) The Authorization Documents are accurate and have not been amended or rescinded.
(j) All official public records (including their proper indexing and filing) furnished to or obtained by us, electronically or otherwise, were accurate, complete and authentic when delivered or issued and remain accurate, complete and authentic as of the date of this opinion letter. With respect to the collateral that is described in the Registration Statement filed by the Company (the Collateral), the Companys subsidiaries party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent (the Collateral Agent) for the benefit of the parties (as defined therein), (i) the Indiana Subsidiaries have rights within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Indiana (the Indiana UCC) in the Collateral as to which perfection or nonperfection of a security interest therein is governed by the provisions of the Indiana UCC (the Indiana Collateral), (ii) the descriptions of the Indiana Collateral accurately and reasonably identify the property intended to be completely described in the Registration Statement, (iii) the security interests granted by the Indiana Subsidiaries in the Indiana Collateral have attached within the meaning of Section 9.1-203 of the Indiana UCC on the date hereof, and (iv) the Indiana Subsidiaries have been, or will be, furnished with a copy of their UCC Financing Statements as required by Section 9.1-502(f) of the Indiana UCC.
(k) The name and address of the Collateral Agent as set forth in the Registration Statement is the correct name and mailing address for the Collateral Agent, and the address of the Collateral Agent set forth therein is an address from which information regarding the security interests in the Indiana Collateral may be obtained.
(l) The Registration Statement will be duly and properly filed in the appropriate records of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and all applicable fees imposed with respect to the Registration Statement will be paid.
(m) Each Indiana Subsidiary has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its guarantee of the Companys obligations pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture.
(n) The respective factual representations, statements and warranties of the Company and the Indiana Subsidiaries in the Transaction Documents and the Authorization Documents, and in the other documents that we have reviewed, and upon which we have relied, are accurate, complete and truthful.
(o) We have not examined and render no opinion regarding any document incorporated by reference into any of the Transaction Documents, and we have assumed, with your permission, that any such document so incorporated does not affect the opinions hereby given.
Based on the foregoing and upon such investigation as we have deemed necessary, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. Each of Haverstick and HGS is a corporation incorporated and, based solely on its Certificate of Existence, and in existence under the laws of the State of Indiana.

3. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Indiana Guarantors.
4. The Guarantees have been duly authorized by each of the Indiana Guarantors.
Each of the opinions set forth above is limited by its terms and subject to the assumptions hereinabove stated and is further subject to the following qualifications, exceptions and limitations, none of which shall limit the generality of any other assumption, qualification, exception or limitation.
A. Without limiting the generality of any other exception, limitation or qualification, we express no opinion in this letter with respect to (i) the application of any law, statute, rule or regulation relating to the environment, health or safety; (ii) any law, statute, rule, or regulation that may apply to any party as a result of its activities in the State of Indiana that are not directly related to or taken in connection with the Transaction Documents; (iii) any provisions of the Transaction Documents pertaining to consent to jurisdiction in so far as it relates to federal courts or agreements stating that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights will not operate as a waiver of the right or remedy; and (iv) any purported waiver or purported consent relating to any other rights of any party, or duties owed to any of them, existing as a matter of law, including without limitation the purported waiver of any partys right to a jury trial.
B. We express no opinion and make no statements concerning or with respect to any statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions, rules, and regulations of counties, towns, municipalities or special political subdivisions.

We have not considered and do not express an opinion with respect to the performance by any Indiana Subsidiary of its covenants and agreements in the Transaction Documents to operate its business in any specified manner.
F. We express no opinion as to whether the execution, delivery or performance by any Indiana Subsidiary of any Transaction Document will constitute a violation of, or a default under, any covenant, restriction or provision with respect to financial ratios or tests or any aspect of the financial condition or results of operations of such Indiana Subsidiary.
G. The validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Transaction Documents are subject to and may be affected by applicable state and/or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and conveyance, reorganization, equity of redemption, moratorium laws, or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors or debtors generally, laws concerning environmental effects or promulgated by environmental agencies, racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations (RICO) statutes, securities laws, tax laws, and the application of general principles of equity (regardless whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity), including, without limitation, equitable defenses, limitations on the availability of equitable remedies, and concepts of materiality, reasonableness, unconscionability, good faith and similar doctrines affecting the enforceability of agreements generally.
As used herein, the phrases to our knowledge, known to us or similar phrases mean we have relied solely upon (i) the representations made in the Transaction Documents, (ii) the Authorization Documents, and (iii) the actual knowledge of the limited number of attorneys in this firm who have been principally involved in the representation of the Company and the Indiana Subsidiaries in the transactions, obtained in the scope of such representation and without (unless expressly described herein) any independent investigation or inquiry, and no inference as to our knowledge concerning factual matters should or may be drawn.
