Five Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand Dollars ($5,522,000) (the Working Capital

available funds to an account specified by the payee within ten (10) days of

ARTICLE 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GSI
GSI represents and warrants to CACI as follows:
2.1 Corporate Status of GSI. GSI is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. GSI is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in
all jurisdictions in which the character of the properties owned, leased or
operated by GSI and used in the business of GSI or the nature of the business
transacted by GSI makes such qualification necessary, except where failure to
be so qualified would not have a materially adverse effect on the Assets or
CASub's ability to purchase or use the assets as contemplated by this
Agreement.
2.2 Authority for Agreement. GSI has the full corporate power to own,
lease
and operate the Assets as currently owned, leased, operated and conducted and
to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement and the other transactions
contemplated herein and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the
Board of Directors of GSI and the stockholders of GSI, and no other corporate
proceedings on the part of GSI remain necessary to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement and the related documents have been duly
executed and delivered by GSI and are legal, valid and binding obligations of
GSI enforceable against GSI in accordance with their respective terms except
as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and
except
to the extent that courts may award money damages rather than specific
performance of contractual provisions.
2.3 No Default or Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby do not and will
not (a) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or other organizational documents of
GSI, or (b) with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or
both, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of or constitute a
default under, or (except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement)
require
the consent of any other party to, or result in any right to accelerate or
the
creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance pursuant to, or right of
termination under, any provision of any note, mortgage, indenture, lease,
agreement or other instrument, permit, concession, grant, franchise, license,
judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation that
could have a materially adverse effect on the Assets or CASub's ability to
purchase or use the Assets as contemplated by this Agreement. Except as
otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, no authorization, consent,
approval,
license, order, or permit of, or declaration of, or filing with or notice to,
any governmental body or authority or any other person or entity is necessary
for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by GSI or the consummation
by
GSI of the other transactions contemplated hereby.
2.4 Financial Statements. GSI has previously furnished to CACI true and
complete copies of its financial statements for each of the three fiscal
years
ended in March 1995, 1996, and 1997 (the "GSI Financial Statements"). Each
of
the balance sheets included in the GSI Financial Statements (including any
related notes and schedules) fairly presents the consolidated financial
position of GSI as of its date and the other financial statements included in
the GSI Financial Statements (including any related notes and schedules)
fairly present the consolidated results of operations or other information
included therein of GSI for the periods or as of the dates therein set forth,
in each case in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied during the periods involved.
2.5 Absence of Material Adverse Changes and Undisclosed Liabilities. Since
March 28, 1997, there has not occurred or arisen, whether or not in the
ordinary course of business: (a) any material adverse change in the business,
operations, assets, financial condition, results of operations or properties
of GSI, or (b) any event, condition or state of facts of any character that
might materially and adversely affect the Assets. GSI has no material
liabilities or obligations, fixed, accrued, contingent or otherwise, that
relate to the Assets and are not fully reflected or provided for on, or
disclosed in the notes to, the consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year
ended March 28, 1997 included in the GSI Financial Statements (the "1997
Balance Sheet"), except (a) liabilities and obligations incurred in or as a
result of the ordinary course of business since March 28, 1997, none of which
individually or in the aggregate has been or is materially adverse to the
Assets, (b) liabilities and obligations permitted by or provided for or
contemplated by this Agreement and (c) liabilities and obligations disclosed
on the Exhibits delivered hereunder.
2.6 Assets Other Than Assigned Contracts.
2.6.1 GSI has good record and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all of the Assets. None of the Assets is subject to any
mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, lease or other encumbrance.
2.6.2 The Inventory consists of items of a quantity and quality usable
or saleable in the normal course of business of GSI. All plant, equipment
and
personal property included in the Assets are in good operating condition and
repair.
2.6.3 GSI is not in material violation of any law, regulation or
ordinance (including, without limitation, laws, regulations or ordinances
relating to building, zoning, environmental, city planning, land use or
similar matters) relating to its leased property located at 00000 Xxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx. There are no proceedings materially
affecting the present or future use of such property for the purpose for
which
it is used or the purpose for which it is intended to be used. All
buildings,
structures and fixtures used by GSI at such property are in good operating
condition and repair and are insured with coverages that are usual and
customary for similar properties and similar businesses.
2.6.4 The Assets constitute substantially all of the assets used by GSI
prior to the Closing in the conduct of its business. The Assets when
delivered at the Closing shall be in a condition sufficient to enable CASub
to
utilize the Assets as they were utilized by GSI prior to the Closing. No
written notice has been received by GSI from any insurance company that has
issued a policy with respect to any of the Assets or from any board of fire
underwriters (or other body exercising similar functions) claiming any
defects
or deficiencies or requesting the performance of any repairs, alterations or
other work relating to the Assets.
2.7 Assigned Contracts. GSI has delivered to CACI or made available to
CACI
a true and complete copy of each of the Assigned Contracts and all amendments
thereto. All Assigned Contracts are in full force and effect, and GSI has
not
received any notice of default, nor is it in default, nor does any condition
exist which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, will render GSI in
default, under any of the Assigned Contracts, other than defaults that would
not materially impair CASub's ability to assume, perform and receive the
benefits of the Assigned Contracts and except as the parties have previously
discussed with respect to the Globalstar contract number GSC-96-0064.
Neither
GSI nor any of its directors, officers, employees, representatives, or other
agents has any knowledge or reason to believe or suspect that GSI will be
unable to assign the Assigned Contracts or that any other party, including,
without limitation, the Government, will not approve or consent to the
assignment of any of the Assigned Contracts or will otherwise prohibit or
materially restrict the assignment of any of the Assigned Contracts. To the
best of GSI's knowledge, the other parties to the Assigned Contracts are in
compliance with all material terms and conditions of the Assigned Contracts,
and no party thereto has notified GSI of an intention to terminate or
materially change the nature of its transaction or relationship with GSI or
CACI thereunder.
2.8 Compliance with Applicable Law. GSI has all requisite licenses,
permits
and certificates from all foreign, federal, state and local authorities
necessary to utilize the Assets as presently utilized, and to own, lease and
operate the Assets, and the business of GSI which relates to the Assets is
not
being conducted in violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance,
regulation, rule, judgment, decree, order, permit, license, concession, grant
or other authorization of any court or of any governmental entity or
authority, in any case where the violation or failure to comply, individually
or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Assets.
2.9 Litigation.
2.9.1 There is no investigation, inquiry or review by any governmental
entity or authority with respect to GSI pending or, to the best of GSI's
knowledge, threatened, nor has any governmental entity indicated to GSI an
intention to conduct the same; and
2.9.2 There is no claim, action, suit, arbitration, labor dispute,
investigation or proceeding of any kind, pending or, to the best of GSI's
knowledge, threatened, at law or in equity, before any court, arbitrator,
governmental entity or authority, and there is no order, writ, injunction,
decree or judgment of any court, arbitrator, governmental entity or
authority,
that involves, affects or relates to the Assets that either singly or in the
aggregate may have any material adverse effect on the Assets.
2.10 Tax Matters. GSI has filed all federal, state, local and foreign
income, corporate excise and payroll tax returns and reports required to be
filed by it or on its behalf. All taxes shown by such returns to be due and
payable have been paid or are reflected as a liability on the GSI Financial
Statements. All tax returns of GSI that have been examined by any
governmental authority since January 1, 1994 are identified on Exhibit 2.10
along with the respective authority; CACI has been provided with a copy of
all
returns and any assessments resulting from such examinations and all
assessments, penalties and interest have been paid in full. GSI is not a
party to any tax indemnity or tax sharing agreement. GSI has informed CACI of
a pending claim by GSI for collection from the Federal Aviation
Administration
of sales taxes in the aggregate amount of approximately $586,000. GSI
warrants
to CACI collection of the amount determined to be due; and, in the event that
CACI is required to pursue or determines in the exercise of CACI's reasonable
judgement that it is prudent for CACI to pursue collection efforts itself,
GSI
undertakes to pay or to reimburse CACI for the reasonable costs of
collection.
If GSI elects to pursue collection, CACI will cooperate with GSI's effort in
good faith and at no material out-of-pocket cost to CACI.
2.11 Employee Benefit Plans; Compliance with ERISA.
2.11.1 Exhibit 2.11 sets forth all Employee Benefit Plans and Benefit
Arrangements that are sponsored or contributed to by GSI or any of its ERISA
Affiliates covering GSI's employees or former employees. True and complete
copies of all such Employee Benefit Plans and Benefit Arrangements have been
delivered to CACI.
2.11.2 With respect to each Employee Pension Benefit Plan sponsored,
maintained or contributed to by GSI or any ERISA Affiliate, or with respect
to
which GSI or any ERISA Affiliate previously had an obligation to contribute:
(a) No such plan has been terminated so as to subject, directly
or indirectly, any assets of GSI or its ERISA Affiliates to any liability,
contingent or otherwise, or the imposition of any liens under Title IV of
ERISA;
(b) No proceeding has been initiated or threatened by any
person,
including the PBGC, to terminate any such plans;
(c) No liability to the PBGC has been incurred;
(d) No "reportable event," as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA
(to the extent that the reporting of such event to the PBGC has not been
waived) has occurred and is continuing with respect to any such plan.
2.11.3 Neither GSI nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has at any time been
obliged to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan.
2.11.4 Neither GSI nor any of its ERISA Affiliates sponsors or has
previously sponsored, maintained, contributed to or incurred an obligation to
contribute to any Employee Benefit Plan that provides benefits described in
Section 3(1) of ERISA to any former employee or retiree of GSI or any ERISA
Affiliate of any of them, except as required under Part 6 of Title I of ERISA
and Section 4980B of the Code.
2.11.5 Each Benefit Plan has at all times prior hereto been maintained
in all material respects in accordance with all applicable laws. GSI and its
ERISA Affiliates have made full and timely payment of all amounts required to
be contributed under the terms of any Benefit Plan that is a profit sharing
or
stock bonus plan designed to comply with the qualification requirements of
Code Section 401(a).
2.11.6 Each Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section
401(a) of the Code is the subject of a favorable determination letter from
the
IRS, a copy of which has been delivered to CACI, and, to GSI's knowledge,
nothing has occurred which may reasonably be expected to impair such
determination or otherwise adversely affect the tax-qualified status of such
Benefit Plan.
2.12 Employment-Related Matters. To the extent the Assets are affected (a)
GSI is in compliance with all applicable laws respecting employment,
consulting, employment practices, wages, hours, and terms and conditions of
employment; (b) GSI is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement or
other contract or agreement with any labor organization or other
representative of any of the employees GSI; (c) there is no labor strike,

within the past three years; (d) no labor representation question exists or
has been raised respecting any of the employees of GSI; (e) GSI has not
closed
any plant or facility, effectuated any layoffs of employees or implemented
any
early retirement, separation or window program at any time from or after
January 1, 1991 except, in each case, actions involving no more than ten (10)
employees at any one time, nor has GSI planned or announced any action or
program for the future with respect to which GSI has or may have any material
liability; and (f) GSI is in compliance with its obligations pursuant to the
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, and all other
notification and bargaining obligations arising under any collective
bargaining agreement or statute relating to employment.
2.13 Environmental.
2.13.1 To the extent the Assets are affected and to the best of GSI's
knowledge, (a) GSI is in material compliance with all applicable
Environmental
Laws (as defined in Section 6.1), (b) GSI has not received any communication
(written or oral), whether from a governmental authority, employee, or any
other person that alleges that GSI is not in material compliance, (c) there
are no circumstances that may prevent or interfere with material compliance

currently held by GSI pursuant to the Environmental Laws are in full force
and
effect and no other permits are required by GSI.
2.13.2 There is no Environmental Claim (as defined in Section 6.1)
pending or, to the best of GSI's knowledge, threatened against or involving
the Assets.
2.13.3 To the best of GSI's knowledge, GSI has not undertaken or caused
past or present actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events or
incidents, including, without limitation, the release, threatened release,
emission, discharge or disposal of any Material of Environmental Concern (as
defined in Section 6.1), that could form the basis of any Environmental Claim
against CASub as the owner of the Assets.
2.13.4 Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing and
to the extent the Assets are affected, (a) no polychlorinated biphenyls are
or
have been used or stored at any property owned or leased by GSI or used by
GSI, and (b) to the best of GSI's knowledge, no friable asbestos or friable
asbestos-containing material is present at any property owned or leased by
GSI.
2.14 Customers. Exhibit 2.14 hereto contains a materially true and complete

4.10.1.4 as a result of any Action which arises out of or relates

charge GSI is obligated to pay, or to reimburse CACI or CASub for, hereunder

required to indemnify GSI or any of its directors, officers or Successors
with
respect to the same item of damage and amount, such payment or satisfaction
of
such indemnity to one of them shall discharge the obligations of CACI and
CASub to the other to the extent of the amount paid.

from which indemnification is sought (an "Indemnifying Party") by a person or
entity seeking indemnification (an "Indemnified Party") under this Section
4.10 with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by
third
parties shall be subject to the following conditions:

party and the amount thereof promptly after the Indemnified Party learns of

Until the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of any such
Action, or if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that
there
are likely to be defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are
different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party
(in
which case the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense
of such Action), all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party and shall be
repaid
to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party if it is finally
determined
that the Indemnifying Party was not liable or responsible for the claim
underlying the Action.

by
the Indemnifying Party, (a) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be

the
subject matter hereof, (b) is not intended to confer upon any person other

each party shall be entitled to injunctive relief compelling specific
performance of, or other compliance with, the terms of this Agreement. All

generality of the foregoing, the parties expressly recognize that specific
performance is not either party's sole remedy for any reason hereunder.

provisions of this Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force and
effect.
