AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

        This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of January 3, 2005 by and among SYS, a California corporation ("Buyer" or "SYS"); Shadow I, Inc., a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SYS ("Subcorp"), Antin Engineering, Inc., a California corporation ("Antin"), and Janathin A. Miller, an individual resident in the State of California ("Miller"), Pericles Haleftiras, an individual resident in the State of California ("Haleftiras"), Paul D. White, an individual resident in the State of California ("White"), Victor M. Wilson, an individual resident in the State of Nevada ("Wilson"), Judith L. Smith, an individual resident in the State of California ("Smith"), John D. Dunaway, an individual resident in the State of Virginia ("Dunaway"), James M. Bennett, an individual resident in the State of Virginia ("Bennett"), and Albert J. Ford, an individual resident in the State of Virginia ("Ford"), v constitute all of the shareholders of Antin. Miller, Haleftiras, White, Wilson, Smith, Dunaway, Bennett, and Ford are sometimes referred to individually herein as a "Stockholder," Shareholder," or "Antin Stockholder" and collectively as the "Stockholders," the "Shareholders," or the "Antin Stockholders").

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

        WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of SYS, Subcorp and Antin have determined that the merger of Antin with and into Subcorp, in the manner contemplated herein (the "Merger"), is desirable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders and, by resolutions duly adopted, have approved and adopted this Agreement;

        WHEREAS, SYS, Subcorp, Antin, and the Stockholders desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and their promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

        1.1    The Merger.    Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the California General Corporation Law (the "CGCL"), Antin shall be merged with and into Subcorp at the Effective Time. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Antin shall cease and Subcorp shall continue its existence under the laws of the State of California as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SYS. Subcorp, in its capacity as the corporation surviving the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation."

        1.2    Effective Time.    As promptly as possible following the later of the Closing Date and the approval of the listing of shares to be issued by SYS in the Merger by the American Stock Exchange, die parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of California (the "California Secretary of State") this Agreement and an officer's certificate from Antin and Subcorp (collectively, the "California Merger Documents") in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the CGCL. The Merger shall become effective (the "Effective Time") when the California Merger Documents have been filed with the California Secretary of State or at such later time as shall be agreed upon by SYS and Antin and specified in the California Merger Documents. Prior to the filings referred to in this Section 1.2, a closing (the "Closing") shall be held at the offices of SYS's counsel, Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps LLP ("Luce Forward"), 600 West Broadway, Suite 2600, San Diego, California 92101, or such other place as the parties may agree on, as soon as practicable (but in any event within ten business days) following the date upon which all conditions set forth in Article IV have been satisfied or waived, or at such other date as SYS and Antin may agree, provided that the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived at

1



or prior to such date. The date on which the Closing takes place is referred to herein as the "Closing Date." For all purposes, the Closing shall be effective as of 8:00 a.m., Pacific Standard Time, on January 3, 2005.

        1.3    Effects of the Merger.    At and after the Effective Time, the separate existence of Antin will cease, and Subcorp as the Surviving Corporation and successor shall succeed to all the rights and property of Subcorp and Antin, and shall be subject to all the debts and liabilities of Subcorp and Antin except as otherwise expressly provided in reference to this Agreement.

        1.4    Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.    The Articles of Incorporation of Subcorp, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and the Bylaws of Subcorp, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until amended in accordance with the CGCL.

ARTICLE II
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES AND ESCROW

        2.1    Merger Consideration:    Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of SYS, Subcorp or Antin or their respective stockholders, each share of Antin Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into, and shall represent the right to receive, that portion of the aggregate amount of up to $2,100,000 (such aggregate amount, the "Merger Consideration"), to which such share is entitled, with $360,000 payable in cash (the "Cash Consideration"), and up to $1,740,000, payable in the form of up to 696,000 shares of restricted SYS Common Stock (valued at $2.50 per share) (the "Stock Consideration"). The Merger Consideration shall be paid and allocated and distributed among the Stockholders as set forth on Schedule 2.1.

        2.2    Subcorp Stock.    Each share of capital stock of Subcorp outstanding at the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding following the Effective Time.

        2.3    Fractional Shares; Adjustments.    

            2.3.1  No certificates for fractional SYS Common Shares shall be issued as a result of the conversion provided for in Section 2.1, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or have any rights of a holder of SYS Common Shares.

            2.3.2  In lieu of any such fractional SYS Common Shares, the holder of a certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Antin Capital Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1, upon presentation of such fractional interest represented by an appropriate Certificate for Antin Capital Stock to SYS, shall be entitled to receive a cash payment therefore, in an amount equal to the value of such fractional interest, with an SYS Common Share being valued for this purpose as described in Section 2.1. Such payment with respect to fractional shares is intended to avoid the expense and inconvenience of issuing fractional shares and to provide a mechanical rounding off of, and is not a separately bargained for, consideration. If more than one Certificate shall be surrendered for the account of the same holder, the number of shares of Antin Capital Stock for which Certificates have been surrendered shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the Stockholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement. The fractional share interests of each Stockholder will be aggregated, and no Stockholder will receive cash in an amount greater than the value of one full SYS Common Share for such fractional share interest.

2


        2.4    Exchange of Certificates.    

            2.4.1    Exchange at Closing and at the Effective Time and Possible Subsequent Delivery of SYS Shares.    At the Closing, each Antin Stockholder shall deliver (i) the Certificate or Certificates representing such Antin Stockholder's shares of Antin Capital Stock (or affidavits of lost certificates in lieu :hereof), duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank and (ii) fully executed stock powers (medallion guaranteed) with respect to that Stockholder's shares of SYS Common Stock which are to be deposited with the Escrow Agent, and in exchange for such delivery shall receive as soon as possible after the Effective Time (i) the Cash Consideration to which such Antin Stockholder is entitled as set forth on Schedule 2.1, and (ii) the Stock Consideration to which such Antin Stockholder is entitled as set forth on Schedule 2.1, payable by delivery of a single stock certificate naming the Escrow Agent as the holder thereof. Subsequent to the Effective Time, SYS shall deliver to the Stockholders and to Escrow such additional Stock Consideration to which the Stockholders may be entitled pursuant to Schedule 2.1.

            2.4.2    Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares.    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to SYS Common Shares having a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate, no cash payment as part of the Merger Consideration and no cash payment of interest or in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder, until the holder shall surrender such Certificate (or affidavit) as provided in this Section 2.4. Subject to the effect of all applicable constitutions, laws, statutes, treaties, orders, rules, regulations, ordinances, notices, approvals, policies or guidelines promulgated, or judgments, decisions, decrees, or orders of any Governmental Authority collectively, "Applicable Laws"), following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the Merger Consideration issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole SYS Common Shares and not paid, less the amount of any withholding taxes that may be required thereon, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date subsequent to surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole SYS Common Shares, less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required thereon.

            2.4.3    No Further Ownership Rights in Antin Capital Stock.    All Merger Consideration issued and/or paid upon surrender of Certificates (or affidavit) in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to this Article II) shall be deemed to have been issued and/or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Antin Capital Stock represented thereby, and, as of the Closing, the stock transfer books of Antin shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Antin of shares of Antin Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing. If, after the Closing, Certificates are presented to Antin or the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled.

            2.4.4    No Liability.    Neither SYS nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any person in respect of any Merger Consideration (on dividends, distributions, or interest with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration (or any dividends, distributions, or interest with respect thereto) would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such Merger Consideration (or dividends, distributions, or interest with respect thereto) shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of SYS, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously

3



    entitled thereto. For purposes of this Agreement, "Governmental Authority" means any (A) nation, region, state, county, city, town, village, district or other jurisdiction, (B) federal, state, local, municipal, foreign or other government, (C) federal, state, local municipal, foreign or multi-national court, arbitral tribunal, administrative agency or commission, (D) other governmental, quasi-governmental, public, or regulatory body, agency, instrumentality or authority of any nature, (E) multi-national organization, (F) body exercising, or entitled to exercise, any administrative, executive, judicial, legislative, policy, regulatory or taxing authority or power of any nature or (G) official of any of the foregoing.

            2.4.5    Withholding Rights.    Each of the Surviving Corporation and SYS shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Cash Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Antin Capital Stock, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or any other payment by Antin, the Surviving Corporation or SYS, under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or SYS, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Antin Capital Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or SYS, as the case may be. Any Tax withheld by SYS or the Surviving Corporation shall be paid by SYS or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, to the appropriate Governmental Authority when due in accordance with Applicable Law; and SYS or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall within 30 days of the payment of such Tax deliver to the holder of the shares of Antin Capital Stock evidence reasonably satisfactory to such holder that payment was duly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority. The parties hereto anticipate that no Stock Consideration and substantially all of the Cash Consideration will be withheld and paid to Governmental Authorities pursuant to this Section 2.4.5. Any Cash Consideration which is not so withheld shall be distributed at Closing in accordance with Schedule 2.1.

            2.4.6    Restrictive Legend.    Each certificate evidencing SYS Common Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall bear the following legend in conspicuous type:

      THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION WITHOUT AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

        2.5    Escrow Accounts.    

            2.5.1    Escrow Agreement.    On or prior to the Closing Date, SYS and the Stockholders shall establish an escrow at Union Bank of California, N.A. (the "Escrow Account"), by the execution and delivery of an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Escrow Agreement").

            2.5.2    Deposit of Escrow Consideration.    As soon as possible after the Effective Time, SYS shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, for immediate deposit into the Escrow Account, 220,000 shares of restricted SYS Common Stock, to be allocated among the Stockholders in accordance with Schedule 2.1, by delivery of one certificate issued in the name of the Escrow Agent as Escrow Agent, accompanied if requested by the Escrow Agent by stock powers duly endorsed in blank by the Antin Stockholders. Any such endorsement shall be medallion guaranteed. Such shares shall constitute part of the "Escrow Consideration," which may also be referred to herein as the

4



    "Escrow Stock Consideration." Any remaining part of the Escrow Consideration, which may consist of up to 128,000 shares of restricted SYS Common Stock, shall be determined in accordance with Schedule 2.1 and shall be delivered by SYS to the Escrow Agent upon the later of the approval of the listing of shares to be issued by SYS in the Merger by the American Stock Exchange on delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet to the Stockholders by SYS and shall be allocated to Miller in accordance with Schedule 2.1.

            2.5.3    Disbursement of Merger Consideration.    All of the Escrow Consideration deposited in the Escrow Account shall be available, in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, to secure, and to provide recourse for, the rights of SYS as described in Schedule 2.1 and to provide recourse to SYS for any breach of the representations and warranties of the Antin Stockholders under Article IV hereof and pursuant to Article VIII hereof, and shall be paid to the Antin Stockholders only in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

        2.6    Internal Revenue Code Election.    At its option, following the Closing Date SYS may make an election under Section 338 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with regard to the Merger, provided that such election has no adverse effect upon any of the Antin stockholders.

5

The Eligible Stockholders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with SYS and the other holders of SYS Common Shares distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by SYS (or by the holders of SYS Common Shares who have demanded such registration). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2.2, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of SYS Common Shares

24


      to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the number of SYS Common Shares to be included in such registration. SYS will so advise the Eligible Stockholders and any other holder of SYS Common Shares distributing their SYS Common Shares through the underwriting pursuant to piggyback registration rights similar to this Section 5.2.2, and the number of SYS Common Shares to be registered and other securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all stockholders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of registrable securities held by such stockholders and other securities held by other holders at the time of filing the registration statement. If any Eligible Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he or she may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to SYS and the managing underwriter. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from registration, and shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto.

              (iv)  SYS shall provide to each Eligible Stockholder a suitable number of prospectuses, and supplements thereto, as soon as possible following the effectiveness of the registration or the filing of the supplement, as the case may be.

               (v)  SYS shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 5.2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, but without prejudice to its obligation pursuant to this Section 5.2.2.

              (vi)  SYS shall bear the expenses associated with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.2.2 exclusive of underwriters' and brokers' discounts and commissions and expenses of the Stockholders' legal counsel.

        5.3    Covenants of Antin and the Stockholders.    Antin and the Stockholders jointly and severally agree and warrant that:

All requests for access and information shall be coordinated through senior executives of the parties to be designated.

27


            5.3.3    No Solicitation.    Until the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement:

                (i)  Antin and the Stockholders will not, and will not permit or cause any Subsidiary or any of the directors or officers of Antin or any Subsidiary, and will direct Antin's employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage, or furnish or disclose non-public information in furtherance of, or otherwise facilitate any inquiries that may be reasonably expected to lead to, the making of any proposal or offer with respect to a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, or similar transaction involving, or any purchase of 10% or more of the assets or any equity of, Antin or any Subsidiary or any other business combination other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such proposal or offer, an "Acquisition Proposal").

               (ii)  Antin and the Stockholders will not, and will not permit or cause any Subsidiary or any of the officers or directors of it or any Subsidiary to, and shall direct its and such Subsidiary's employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, whether such Acquisition Proposal arises or has arisen before or after the date of this Agreement, or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal.

              (iii)  Antin and the Stockholders will immediately cease all existing activities, discussions and negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and request the return of all confidential information regarding such party provided to any such parties prior to the date hereof pursuant to the terms of any confidentiality agreements or otherwise.

            Each Releasor acknowledges that there is a possibility that subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, he or she will discover facts or incur or suffer claims that were unknown or unsuspected at the time this Agreement was executed, and which if known by such Releasor at that time may have materially affected such Releasor's decision to execute this Agreement. Each Releasor acknowledges and agrees that by reason of this Section 5.3.4, he or she is assuming any risk of such unknown facts and such unknown and unsuspected claims.

28

      A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

            Notwithstanding such provisions, this Section 5.3.4 shall constitute a full release in accordance with its terms. Each Releasor hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives the provisions of Section 1542, as well as any other statute, law or rule of similar effect.

            5.3.5    Unfair Competition.    For a period of two (2) years after the date of the Closing of the Merger, each Stockholder agrees that he or she will not, directly or indirectly (whether on his or her own behalf or as an owner, parent, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, investor, member, officer, director, agent, independent contractor, associate, executive, consultant or licensor) compete with Antin or its subsidiaries and affiliates anywhere within California and all other states in which Antin has offices or customers as of the date of the Merger (the "Territory") by carrying on, being engaged in, or taking part in the business of providing information technology, C41SR, and technical support services covering systems engineering, test and evaluation, training, human systems integration, and XML-directed solutions to government agencies (the "Business") in any manner.

                (i)  For a period of two (2) years after the date of Closing of the Merger, each Stockholder agrees that he or she will not, directly or indirectly (whether on his or her own behalf or as an owner, parent, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, investor, member, officer, director, agent, independent contractor, associate, executive, consultant or licensor) (1) accept Business, whether solicited or not, from any current or future customer or client of Antin or its subsidiaries and affiliates, and (2) solicit, divert, take away, or attempt to solicit, divert, take away, any prospective or current customer, client, supplier, or distributor of Antin or its subsidiaries and affiliates, with whom he had material business contact, for the purpose of competing in the Business with Antin or its subsidiaries and affiliates.

              (iii)  Each Stockholder acknowledges that the restrictions and covenants set forth above are reasonably necessary to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of SYS and its subsidiaries, including the goodwill acquired by SYS as a consequence of the closing of the Merger described in this Agreement, and are not overbroad, overlong, or unfair (including in duration and scope). Each Stockholder also acknowledges that any breach of these covenants would cause SYS serious, irreparable injury or loss.

              (iv)  Each Stockholder agrees that SYS (or its subsidiaries or affiliates) will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.3.5, and that a restraining order and/or an injunction may be issued against each Stockholder, in addition to any other rights or remedies at law SYS (or its subsidiaries or affiliates) may have.

Escrow Agreement


ESCROW AGREEMENT

        This Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") is made and entered into as of January 3, 2005, by and among SYS, a California corporation ("SYS"), and Janathin A. Miller, ("Miller"), Pericles Haleftiras ("Haleftiras"), Paul D. White ("White"), Victor M. Wilson ("Wilson"), Judith L. Smith ("Smith"), John D. Dunaway ("Dunaway"), James M. Bennett ("Bennett"), and Albert J. Ford ("Ford") (collectively, the "Antin Stockholders"), and Union Bank of California, N.A. (the "Escrow Agent").

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

        WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), made and entered into as of January 3, 2005, by and among SYS and the Antin Stockholders, SYS intends to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Antin Engineering, Inc. ("Antin"), such that Antin becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of SYS, as more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement; and

        WHEREAS, it is a condition to the consummation of the Merger Agreement that this Escrow Agreement be entered into by and among SYS, the Antin Stockholders and Escrow Agent. Capitalized terms used in this Escrow Agreement without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the mutual and dependent promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1.    Deposit in Escrow.    At the Effective Time, SYS shall deposit with the Escrow Agent 220,000 shares of SYS common stock. Subsequent to the Effective Time, and pursuant to Section 2.5.2 of the Merger Agreement, SYS may deposit up to an additional 128,000 shares of SYS common stock in Escrow. The foregoing shares (together with any cash proceeds of any liquidation of any such shares), are referred to herein as the "Escrow Stock Amount" or the "Escrow Amount"). The delivery of the Escrow Amount shall be effected via physical delivery of a certificate representing such shares issued in the name of Union Bank of California, N.A. as Escrow Agent, together, if requested by the Escrow Agent, with stock powers duly endorsed in blank by the Antin Stockholders and medallion guaranteed. The Escrow Agent shall vote the Escrow Stock Amount in accordance with written instructions to be received from SYS.

        2.    Escrow Account.    The Escrow Amount shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent, immediate/y upon receipt, in an account (the "Escrow Account") for the benefit of SYS and the Antin Stockholders.

        3.    Investment of Escrow Amount.    Except as otherwise instructed in writing by all of the parties hereto, any cash that may comprise the Escrow Amount shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent, until depletion, uninvited in an escrow account. The Escrow Agent is authorized to disburse, in accordance with its customary procedures, cash comprising all or part of the Escrow Amount to provide for any payments required to be made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement.

        4.    Disbursements to Antin Stockholders.    Except with respect to any Disputed Amounts as to which Claims are pending or have been paid pursuant to Section 5 below, the Escrow Agent shall disburse from the Escrow Account, to the applicable Antin Stockholders as set forth in Schedule 4 hereto, in the following amounts on the following dates:

            (a)   Subject to Section 5(d), on September 30, 2005 (or, if the Escrow Agent is closed on such date, the next day upon which the Escrow Agent is open for business), fifty percent (50%) of the then remaining balance of the Escrow Stock Amount.

1


            (b)   Subject to Section 5(d), on September 30, 2006 (or, if the Escrow Agent is closed on such date, the next day upon which the Escrow Agent is open for business), the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount.

        5.    Claims.    In the event that SYS has a claim to the Escrow Amount under Section 2.5.3 of the Merger Agreement, then SYS shall deliver a notice to each Antin Stockholder and to the Escrow Agent (a "Claim Notice"), specifying in reasonable detail the amount and nature of the Claim and requesting that the Escrow Agent make a disbursement to SYS in the amount specified therein.

            (a)   Antin Stockholders having a beneficial interest in a majority of the shares constituting the Escrow Amount shall have ten calendar days following receipt of a Claim Notice (the "Objection Period") to deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent and SYS (an "Objection Notice") objecting to all or any portion of the amount specified in the Claim Notice.

            (b)   If the Escrow Agent does not receive a timely Objection Notice, then the Escrow Agent shall pay the amount of the disbursement set forth in the Claim Notice from the Stock Escrow Amount.

            (c)   If the Escrow Agent does receive a timely Objection Notice, the Escrow Agent shall (i) disburse to SYS, from the Escrow Amount, a number of shares equal in value to the portion, if any, of the amount specified in the Claim Notice to which the Antin Stockholders do not object and (5) segregate and hold, separate from the Stock Escrow Amount, a number of shares equal in value to the amount specified in the Claim Notice to which the Antin Stockholders object (the portion of the Escrow Amount to be so segregated, a "Disputed Amount").

            (d)   The Escrow Agent shall retain any Disputed Amount until the earlier of the receipt by the Escrow Agent of (i) a joint Notice from SYS and a majority in share ownership of the Antin Stockholders indicating that the objection has been resolved and instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse or credit the Disputed Amount, or any applicable portion thereof, to SYS and/or the Antin Stockholders, or (ii) a true and correct copy of a final, non-appealable decision of a court or arbitrator relating to such Claim, ordering the Escrow Agent to disburse the Disputed Amount, at which time the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse the Disputed Amount in accordance therewith.

            (e)   In the event of a disbursement to SYS, if the resale of the shares of SYS stock subject to the escrow is then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, SYS may direct the Escrow Agent to sell an adequate number of shares such that the disbursement to SYS may be made in cash. If the resale of such shares is not then so registered, the disbursement to SYS shall be made in shares valued in the manner described in the Merger Agreement. Until such time as the Escrow Amount allocated to Miller has been completely disbursed, 6.19% of any disbursement to SYS from Escrow shall be allocated to each Stockholder other than Miller and the remainder of any such disbursement shall be allocated to Miller.

        6.    Term and Termination.    This Escrow Agreement shall expire, and the Escrow Account shall be closed, on the date upon which all of the Escrow Amount has been disbursed pursuant to this Agreement.

        7.    Concerning the Escrow Agent.    

            (a)   The duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Escrow Agreement and the Acceptance of Escrow, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Acceptance of Escrow"). With the exception of this Agreement and the Acceptance of Escrow, the Escrow Agent is not responsible for, or chargeable with knowledge of, any terms or provisions contained in any underlying agreement referred to in this Agreement or any other separate agreements and understandings between the parties. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the accuracy of any calculations or the sufficiency of funds for any purpose.

2


            (b)   The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone whatsoever by reason of any error or judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith or for any mistake of fact or law or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith unless caused by or arising out of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. SYS and the Antin Stockholders shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from any and all liability and expenses (including, without limitation, its attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) which may arise out of or result from this Escrow Agreement or any action taken or omitted to be taken by it as Escrow Agent in accordance with this Escrow Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented, except with respect to any such liability and expense as may result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent.

            (c)   The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in acting in reliance upon any instructions or directions furnished to it in writing jointly by SYS and the Antin Stockholders or pursuant to any provision of this Escrow Agreement and shall be entitled to treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be, any letter, paper or other document furnished to it by SYS or the Antin Stockholders and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by the proper party or parties.

            (d)   The Escrow Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving a Notice to SYS and the Antin Stockholders and shall be discharged from its duties hereunder upon the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent as hereinafter provided or upon the expiration of thirty (30) days after such Notice is given. In the event of any such resignation, a successor Escrow Agent, which shall be a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the State of California and having a combined capital and surplus of not less than S10,000,000, shall be jointly appointed by SYS and the Antin Stockholders. Any such successor Escrow Agent shall deliver to SYS and the Antin Stockholders a written instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon it shall succeed to all the rights and duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder and shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Amount held by the predecessor Escrow Agent hereunder.

            (e)   The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel to be selected and employed by it and shall be fully protected with respect to any action under this Escrow Agreement taken or suffered in good faith by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

            (f)    The Escrow Agent shall receive compensation for its services at its customary rates as in effect from time to time. Such compensation, along with any other fees or expenses and related disbursements incurred by the Escrow Agent in carrying out its obligations hereunder prior to such date, shall be paid by SYS.

        8.    Deficiency Amounts.    Other than as set forth in the Merger Agreement, in no event shall any portion of a Disputed Amount be paid from the Escrow Account on behalf of any Antin Stockholder in excess of such Antin Stockholder's pro rata share of the remaining Escrow Account balance.

        9.    Notices.    All notices and other communications hereunder (each, a "Notice") shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of successful delivery) or dispatched by a nationally recognized overnight courier service to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like Notice from such party to the other parties hereto).

CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE

        IN CONSIDERATION OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS ESCROW BY UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A., all of the parties agree that said Acceptance is predicated upon the following conditions and stipulations and that any modifications of escrow instructions shall also be subject to the following provisions:

        1.     In the event of any conflict between the Escrow Agreement (hereinafter called the "Escrow Agreement") and these Conditions of Acceptance, the latter shall prevail.

        2.     The duties of the Escrow Agent are only such as are specifically provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement, being purely ministerial in nature, and the Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever, except for willful misconduct or gross negligence, so long as it has acted in good faith.

        3.     The Escrow Agent shall be under no responsibility in respect of any of the items deposited with it other than to faithfully follow the instructions contained herein and in the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent may advise with counsel and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith in accordance with such advice. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to defend any legal proceedings which may be instituted against it in respect of the subject matter of the Escrow unless requested to do so by the parties to the Escrow and indemnified as provided in the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings of any kind.

        4.     The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or validity of any document or other item deposited with it nor for the identity or legal capacity of any party involved nor for the sufficiency of any agency nor for the genuineness of signatures to any papers or documents nor for the negotiability or marketability of any item deposited with it nor for any delay of this Escrow due to any cause beyond its control, and it shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instructions given to it hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement and believed by it to have been signed by the proper parties.

        5.     The Escrow Agent shall be liable for only such funds and instruments as are actually deposited and received by it for the purpose of this Escrow and shall have a lien on all funds and instruments deposited with it for the purpose of securing any fees, costs or other charges incurred by it hereunder.

        6.     The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the payment of any funds in the event it shall be prevented from making payment by operation of law or otherwise.

        7.     Provided the terms of the Escrow can be complied with, the Escrow Agent will not withhold completion and settlement thereof, unless restrained by order of court or served with some other similar legal proceeding, and in so doing, the Escrow Agent will not become liable to the undersigned,

1



or to any other person, for its failure or refusal to comply with conflicting or adverse claims or demands.

        8.     In the event of a dispute between the parties, an ambiguity in the provisions governing the Escrow or uncertainty on the part of the Escrow Agent as to how to proceed with the Escrow, such that the Escrow Agent, in its sole and absolute judgment, deems it necessary for its protection so to do, the Escrow Agent may (a) refrain from taking any action other than to safely keep the items deposited hereunder until it shall have received joint written instructions from the parties to the Escrow, or (b) deposit the escrowed items into a court of competent jurisdiction and thereupon have no further duties or responsibilities in connection therewith.

        9.     The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by delivering Notice at least thirty (30) days before the date upon which such resignation is to become effective to the parties to the Escrow who hereby agree to designate, by a written acceptance of such successor on or before such effective date, a successor Escrow Agent. After the effective date of such resignation, the Escrow Agent shall be under no further obligation to perform any of the duties of Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement other than to deliver the entire assets of the Escrow to a properly designated successor Escrow Agent or to deal with such assets as provided in the preceding paragraph (8) hereof.
