If either party timely provides an Objection Notice to the other party, then the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve promptly any Disputed Items.

The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to render its decision in accordance with the terms hereof, including the definitions of GAAP and Working Capital contained herein, and shall deliver a written report to the Purchaser and the Representative which sets forth its specific determinations with respect to the Remaining Disputed Items.

Each of the Purchaser and the Sellers agrees that they shall be bound by the determination of the Remaining Disputed Items by the Accounting Firm and such determination shall be used by the parties to prepare a final calculation of the Company’s Working Capital and Indebtedness as of the Closing. The Proposed Closing Balance Sheet, as accepted by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.3(d), as agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Representative or as determined by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.3(d), as the case may be, shall be used to determine the Company’s Working Capital (the “Finally Determined Working Capital”) and the Indebtedness of the Company (the “Finally Determined Indebtedness”) as of the Closing.

(e)(i) If the Finally Determined Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, then the Purchaser shall deliver funds in an amount equal to the difference between (x) the Finally Determined Working Capital minus (y) the Estimated Closing Working Capital, to the Sellers pro rata in accordance with the allocations set forth on Schedule 2.2(c)(i) hereto.

(ii) If the Finally Determined Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from the Sellers an amount equal to the difference between (x) the Estimated Closing Working Capital minus (y) the Finally Determined Working Capital. If the Finally Determined Indebtedness is greater than the Indebtedness set forth by Company or Sellers to be paid or assumed by Purchaser at Closing, then the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from the Sellers an amount equal to the difference between the Indebtedness so set forth and the Finally Determined Indebtedness. Any of such payments are to be made directly by the Sellers, and Purchaser shall not seek payment from the Escrow Account; provided, that if such payments are not made by the Sellers within fifteen (15) days after they are payable hereunder, Purchaser may elect to have such payments made out of the Escrow Account.

(f) The final Purchase Price as finally adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.3 and Section 11 shall be the “Purchase Price” for all purposes.

All payments pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be made in cash or same day funds within five (5) days after the final determination of the Finally Determined Net Working Capital and Finally Determined Indebtedness.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed after the Closing shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby indefinitely.

11.5 Certain Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 11, the Purchaser Parties and Seller Parties shall not be entitled to receive any indemnification payments under Section 11.1 or 11.2, as the case may be, in connection with the inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Purchaser Parties or Seller Parties, as the case may be, exceed Three Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($325,000) (the “Basket Amount”), and then the Sellers or the Purchaser (as applicable) shall only be liable for the amount of Losses in excess of the Basket Amount.

(b)(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 11.5(b)(i), the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification payments under Section 11.1 in connection with the inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty and under Section 11.3(a) and (b) to which the Purchaser Parties shall be entitled to receive, upon the triggering of any indemnification obligation hereunder, shall not exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) (the “Indemnity Cap”).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any indemnification payments based upon or any Losses related to any and all (i) Tax Claims, (ii) breaches of the representations set forth in Sections 3.2(a), 3.3, 3.4, 3.17, 3.19, 3.21 and 3.32, (iii) DCAA Audits that are pending as of the Closing Date or arise with eighteen (18) months after Closing, and/or (iv) claims of fraud, bad faith or intentional misconduct, shall not be subject to either the Basket Amount set forth in Section 11.5(a) or the Indemnity Cap set forth in Section 11.5(b)(i) and shall not be used in calculating whether the Basket Amount set forth in Section 11.5(a) has been met or whether the Indemnity Cap set forth in Section 11.5(b)(i) has been met; provided, that the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Sellers and the Special Indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify Purchaser Parties under this Agreement (including without limitation Losses with respect to which the Indemnity Cap set forth in Section 11.5(b)(i) applies) shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 11, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification payments under Section 11.2 in connection with the inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty to which the Seller Parties shall be entitled to receive, upon the triggering of any indemnification obligation hereunder shall not exceed the Indemnity Cap.

(d) Any indemnity claims of Purchaser that are finally determined to be due and owing by the Seller Parties shall first be satisfied through disbursements from the Escrow Account.

11.6 Defense of Claims.

(a) In the case of any claim for indemnification under Section 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3 arising from a claim of a third party (including the IRS or any Governmental Authority), an indemnified party shall give prompt written notice and, subject to the following sentence, in no case later than twenty (20) days after the indemnified party’s receipt of notice of such claim, to the indemnifying party of any claim, suit or demand of which such indemnified party has Knowledge and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder. The failure to give such notice shall not, however, relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually harmed thereby. The indemnifying party shall have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim, suit or demand in its name (or in the name of Company) and at its expense, and with counsel selected by the indemnifying party unless such claim, suit or demand seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such claim, suit or demand if it refuses to acknowledge fully its obligations to the indemnified party or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations therefor. If the indemnifying party elects, and is entitled, to compromise or defend such claim, it shall within twenty (20) days (or sooner, if the nature of the claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so, and the indemnified party shall, at the request and expense of the indemnifying party, cooperate in the defense of such claim, suit or demand. If the indemnifying party elects not to compromise or defend such claim, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or refuses to acknowledge or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the indemnified party may pay, compromise or defend such claim. The indemnified party may not settle any such claim without

the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party shall not be required to refrain from paying any claim which has matured by a court judgment or decree, unless an appeal is duly taken therefrom and exercise thereof has been stayed, nor shall it be required to refrain from paying any claim where the delay in paying such claim would result in the foreclosure of a lien upon any of the property or assets then held by the indemnified party or where any delay in payment would cause the indemnified party material economic loss. The indemnifying party’s right to direct the defense shall include the right to compromise or enter into an agreement settling any claim by a third party; provided that no such compromise or settlement shall obligate the indemnified party to agree to any settlement which requires the taking of any action by the indemnified party other than the delivery of a release, except with the consent of the indemnified party (such consent to be withheld or delayed only for a good faith reason). Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s right to compromise or settle in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the indemnifying party may not settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the indemnified party; provided, however, that consent by the indemnified party to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided further that if consent is withheld following the receipt of an oral or written settlement offer, and such settlement or compromise only requires the payment of money and/or a release and other customary settlement terms, the maximum liability of the indemnifying party shall thereafter be limited to the amount for which such claim could have been settled. The parties hereto agree that it will be reasonable for any Purchaser Party to withhold consent if the amount of foregoing written settlement offer, either alone or when combined with any other pending or threatened claim(s) for Losses under this Section 11 against the Sellers, totals individually or in the aggregate more than the then-existing balance of the Escrow Account and Sellers are otherwise unable to demonstrate that they have sufficient assets to pay such claim. The indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim, suit or demand with counsel selected by it subject to the indemnifying party’s right to direct the defense. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party; provided, however, that, in the case of any claim, suit or demand which seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against the indemnified party, the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(b)

(i) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, with respect to the MSIM Investigation, Sellers have selected Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, LLP as lead counsel and shall pay all fees and costs incurred by Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, LLP with respect to the MSIM Investigation. Subject to Section 11.6(b)(ii) below, Sellers shall have the right to direct the defense against any such claim, suit or demand in the name of the Company with respect to such investigation. Purchaser may fully and actively participate in all aspects of the defense, including, without limitation, involvement in all discussions and meetings regarding such defense. Sellers shall pay all fees and disbursements of counsel used by Purchaser relating to investigation, monitoring, or defense of any claims related to or arising out of the MSIM Investigation to the extent such fees and disbursements are in excess of $100,000. Any fees and disbursements of counsel paid by Purchaser shall not count in determining if the Basket Amount has been exceeded.

(ii) With respect to the MSIM Investigation, Purchaser may appoint lead counsel and shall have the sole right to direct the defense at such time as there is a specific written claim or proceeding against Sellers or the Company seeking (w) criminal sanctions, (x) suspension or (y) debarment or (z) similar non-monetary relief that would materially adversely affect Purchaser if granted. Sellers agree to pay any and all fees and disbursements of counsel used by Purchaser in defense of such claims. In the event Purchaser directs the defense of any claims related to the MSIM Investigation, Sellers may fully and actively participate in all aspects of the defense at Sellers sole expense, including, without limitation, involvement in all discussions and meetings regarding such defense.

(iii) If a settlement or resolution with regard to the MSIM Investigation is reached which involves only monetary damages, or only monetary damages and immaterial administrative or other requirements on the part of Company (including without limitation requirements to enhance compliance programs), and the monetary settlement or resolution amount is less than the Indemnity Cap, Sellers have the right in their reasonable discretion to determine whether or not to accept such settlement; provided however, that if such settlement is less than the Indemnity Cap, but more than the Escrow Account, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with evidence reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that Sellers’ aggregate liquid assets available to satisfy such settlement or resolution are in excess of the difference between the Indemnity Cap and the Escrow Account. In the event that Sellers are unable to provide such evidence to Purchaser, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with indemnity bond(s), letter(s) of credit, escrow(s) or similar security with respect to the difference between (A) the settlement or resolution amount and (B) the sum of (x) the Escrow Account and (y) the aggregate amount of Sellers’ liquid assets available to satisfy such settlement or resolution.

(iv) If a settlement or resolution with regard to the MSIM Investigation is proposed which involves administrative or other requirements on the part of the Company (other than immaterial administrative or other requirements, including without limitation requirements to enhance compliance programs) in addition to monetary damages, Purchaser shall have the right to decide whether to accept such settlement subject to Seller’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(v) If a formal claim or proceeding relating to the MSIM Investigation is instituted and the claim or the proposed settlement involves only monetary damages, or only monetary damages and immaterial administrative or other requirements on the part of Company (including without limitation requirements to enhance compliance programs), but the monetary damages are in excess of the Indemnity Cap, both Purchaser and Sellers shall participate equally in the defense and shall not accept any settlement of such claim or proceeding unless by mutual agreement, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld and Sellers shall bear any fees and disbursements of their counsel and shall bear any fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company and Purchaser.

(vi) Purchaser Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause all employees of Purchaser Parties (including all employees of Company following the Closing) to fully cooperate with Sellers and Purchaser Parties with respect to the MSIM Investigation and the defense of any actions or claims related to the MSIM Investigation.

11.7 Non-Third Party Claims. Any claim which does not result from a third party claim shall be asserted by a written notice to the other party or parties. The recipient of such notice shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If the recipient does not respond within such thirty (30) days or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the party delivering shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to it under contract or applicable Law.

11.8 Liability of the Company. Purchaser shall not after the Closing be required to make any claim against Company in respect of any representation, warranty, covenant or any other obligation of Company to Purchaser hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to which Company is a party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, subject to Section 11 hereof, Purchaser retains, and nothing contained in this Section 11.8 shall in any way waive or limit, its rights to bring claims against Sellers or the Special Indemnitor in respect of a breach of any representation or warranty of Company or any Seller contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, or the non-fulfillment by the Company or any Seller of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Transaction Document.

11.9 Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all indemnification payments shall constitute adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and no party shall take any position inconsistent with such characterization.

11.10 No Waiver. The foregoing indemnification provisions in this Section 11 (including without limitation the provisions of Section 11.4 and Section 11.5) do not (a) waive or affect any claims for fraud, bad faith, or intentional misconduct to which any party may be entitled, or shall relieve or limit the liability of any party from any liability arising out of or resulting from fraud, bad faith, or intentional misconduct in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with the delivery of any of the documents referred to herein and (b) waive or affect any equitable remedies to which any party may be entitled.

11.11 No Right of Contribution. Sellers shall have no right to seek contribution from Company or Purchaser with respect to all or any part of any of a Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Section 11.

11.12 Insurance Proceeds. If any Loss related to a claim by an indemnified party is covered by one or more third party insurance policies held by the indemnified party and the indemnified party actually receives a full or partial recovery under such insurance policies, the indemnified party shall not be entitled to recover from the indemnifying party (and shall refund amounts received from the indemnifying party up to the amount of indemnification actually received from the indemnifying party) with respect to such Loss to the extent indemnified party receives any insurance payment under such third party insurance with respect to such Loss (net of (a) any costs of collecting such insurance payment, including the amount of any co-payment or deductible, (b) an amount equal to the amount of Loss for which indemnification was not

received by reason of the application of Section 11.5 and (c) that portion of any premium increase in the next policy period of the applicable insurance policy or replacement insurance policy that results directly from the assertion of such claim, as determined by correspondence from the insurance carrier or insurance broker to the indemnified party, a copy which shall have been provided to the indemnifying party). Except as set forth in the next sentence, nothing in this Section 11.12 shall require any party to seek recovery under any insurance policy. The parties agree that if the applicable insurance policy is a Company policy in existence prior to the Closing, then the applicable indemnified party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under such policy. The Company confirms that it has notified its applicable insurance carriers of the MSIM Investigation and has provided copies of any correspondence with such carriers related thereto to the Purchaser. Neither the Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to maintain any Company policy in existence after the Closing.

11.13 Exclusive Remedy. The foregoing indemnification provisions in this Section 11 shall be the exclusive remedy from and after the Closing of the Purchaser Parties against the Sellers and the Special Indemnitor and the Seller Parties against the Purchaser for Losses; provided, that nothing herein is intended to waive any claims for fraud, bad faith or intentional misconduct or waive any equitable remedies to which a party may be entitled.

11.14 Indemnity Support. Xxxxxxxxx Xxx Singh and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx acknowledge and agree that from the Closing Date until the later of (i) the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the final settlement or resolution of any claims for indemnity for which the Sellers or the Special Indemnitor are obligated to indemnify Purchaser Parties in accordance with Section 11.3(a) hereunder, they will have aggregate financial resources at least sufficient to satisfy the amount of any indemnity claims hereunder up to the difference between the Indemnity Cap and the sum of (x) the amount then remaining in the Escrow Account and (y) the amount of any indemnity claims previously paid out of the Escrow Account. Xxxxxx Xxxxx acknowledges and agrees that, until the later of (i) the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the final settlement or resolution of any claims for indemnity for which the Sellers or the Special Indemnitor are obligated to indemnify Purchaser Parties in accordance with Section 11.3(a) hereunder, he individually will have financial resources at least sufficient to satisfy his respective pro rata share of any indemnity claims hereunder up to the difference between the Indemnity Cap and the sum of (x) the amount then remaining in the Escrow Account and (y) the amount of any indemnity claims previously paid out of the Escrow Account. Sellers acknowledge and agree that, until the later of (i) the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the final settlement or resolution of any claims for indemnity for which the Sellers or the Special Indemnitor are obligated to indemnify Purchaser Parties in accordance with Section 11.3(a) hereunder, each of (x) the Xxxxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Annuity Trust of 2007 and the Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx Annuity Trust of 2007 (the “Annuity Trusts”) and (y) the Xxxxxxxxx Xxx Singh and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Children’s Trust will be operated and will make distributions only in accordance with their respective trust agreements previously provided by Company to Purchaser (including that the Annuity Trusts will, during their respective annuity terms, make annuity payments consisting of income and principal only to Xxxxxxxxx Xxx Singh and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx and will, upon the termination of their respective annuity terms, make the balance of any annuity payments due to Xxxxxxxxx Xxx Singh and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx in accordance with such trust agreements). Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to restrict the Annuity Trusts from terminating at the end of their respective terms.

11.15 No Double Recovery. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent such party or its Affiliate has been indemnified or reimbursed for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement.

11.16 Subrogation. Upon making any indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement with respect to a third party claim, the indemnifying party will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the indemnified party against any third party in respect of the Losses to which the payment relates; provided, however, that the Sellers shall have no rights to be subrogated to the rights of any of the Purchaser Parties if the third party claim involves any current or former customers or current or former employees of the Company (other than such individuals who were employed by the Company but are not employed by the Company as of the date hereof). The indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonable necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation rights described above.

12. POST CLOSING MATTERS. Following the Closing Date, the parties agree as follows:

12.1 Cooperation. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement each of the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 11 hereof). Sellers acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing the Purchaser will be entitled to possession of and Sellers will provide to Purchaser all documents, books, records (including Tax records), agreements, corporate minute books and financial data of any sort relating to Company.

12.2 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any party actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction that existed on or prior to the Closing Date involving Company, each of the other parties will cooperate with such party and such party’s counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending party (unless the contesting or defending party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 11 hereof). This provision shall be inapplicable to any direct claims between the Sellers or their representatives or Affiliates on the one hand and the Company, the Purchaser, or their representatives or Affiliates on the other hand.

12.3 Transition. During the six month period after the Closing, no Seller will take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of Company from maintaining the same business relationships with Company after the Closing as it maintained with Company prior to the Closing. Each Seller will refer all customer inquiries relating to the business of Company to Company and/or Purchaser Parties from and after the Closing.

12.4 Confidentiality. Each Seller will treat and hold as confidential all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to Purchaser or destroy, at the request and option of Purchaser, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in Seller’s possession. In the event that any Seller is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller will notify Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 12.4. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, a Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such Seller may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that such Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the request of Purchaser, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser shall designate. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure.

12.5 Books and Records. Each party agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with and make available (or cause to be made available) to the other party, during normal business hours, all books and records, information and employees (without substantial disruption of employment) retained, remaining in existence or continuing to be employed after the Closing Date which are necessary or useful in connection with any Tax inquiry, audit, or dispute, any litigation or investigation or any other matter requiring any such books and records, information or employees for any reasonable business purpose (a “Permitted Use”). The party requesting any such books and records, information or employees shall bear all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with providing such books and records, information or employees. All information received pursuant to this Section 12.5 shall be kept confidential pursuant to Section 12.4 (which shall continue to apply to this extent following the Closing Date) by the party receiving it, except to the extent that disclosure is reasonably necessary in connection with any Permitted Use. This provision shall be inapplicable to any direct claims between the Sellers or their representatives or Affiliates on the one hand and the Company, the Purchaser, the Parent or their representatives or Affiliates on the other hand.

12.6 Cooperation and Records Retention. Company, Sellers and Purchaser each shall (i) provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by either of them in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, audit, or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for any Taxes; (ii) retain and provide the other with any records or other information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination; (iii) provide the other with any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding, or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other for any period; and (iv) cooperate with respect to closing the books of Company and filing a tax return for Company as of the Closing Date. Seller shall provide Purchaser and, after the Closing Date, the Company

with such assistance, including access to former personnel of the Company, as may be reasonably requested by either of them in connection with the preparation of any tax provisions in the Company’s financial statements, including any provision or disclosure related to FASB Interpretation No. 48 (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109). The party requesting any such assistance or information shall bear all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with providing such assistance or information.

12.7 Tax Matters.

(a) Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. At Sellers expense, Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Any Tax Returns filed pursuant hereto must be consistent with the Company’s financial statements and to the extent allowed by law, consistent with the prior Tax Returns of the Company. Any state Tax Returns prepared pursuant to this Section 12.7 shall, to the extent relevant (i.e. state Tax Returns for which corporate-level Taxes are applicable), be prepared using the State Tax Assumptions. No later than twenty (20) days prior to filing, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser all such Tax Returns and any related work papers and shall permit Purchaser to review and comment on each such Tax Return and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Purchaser. Sellers shall timely pay to the appropriate taxing authority any Taxes of Company with respect to such periods to the extent such Taxes are not reflected as a liability and taken into account in the final determination of Working Capital. To the extent Company is entitled to any refund for Taxes paid on or prior to the Closing Date (and, with respect to Taxes paid after the date hereof, such Taxes were either paid by the Company and reflected as a liability and taken into account in the final determination of Working Capital or were paid by Sellers), Purchaser shall promptly remit to Sellers the amount of such refund when received in accordance with Sellers’ pro rata shares set forth on Schedule 2.2(c)(i). “State Tax Assumptions” mean the assumption for purposes of calculating any state Tax liability associated with the Section 338(h)(10) Election that instead of receiving the Closing Promissory Notes, the Sellers received cash on the Closing Date equal to the face value of the Closing Promissory Notes.

(b) Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. To the extent that any Tax Returns of Company relate to any Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date, to the extent allowed by law, Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior Tax Returns of Company and file or cause to be filed any such Tax Returns. Purchaser shall permit the Sellers to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence at least twenty (20) days prior to filing such Tax Returns and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Sellers. Any Taxes of Company with respect to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date shall be paid in cash by all Sellers to the extent such Taxes are not reflected as liabilities and taken into account in the final determination of Working Capital. To the extent Company is entitled to any refund for Taxes paid on or prior to the Closing Date (and, with respect to Taxes paid after the date hereof, such Taxes were either paid by the Company and reflected as a liability and taken into account in the final determination of Working Capital or were paid by Sellers), Purchaser shall promptly remit to Sellers the amount

of such refund when received in accordance with Sellers’ pro rata shares set forth on Schedule 2.2(c)(i). The costs, fees and expenses related to the preparation of such Tax Returns shall be paid by Purchaser or Company. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of Company.

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

(d) Installment Sale Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise directed by a Governmental Authority, based upon Sellers’ written request, Purchaser shall not take any Tax position inconsistent with Sellers position that the Purchase Price qualifies as an installment sale under Section 453B(h) of the Internal Revenue Code at the corporate level and Section 453(h) at the individual level to the extent permitted by Law (the “453 Treatment”).

(e) Allocation of Purchase Price. The Parties agree that, unless otherwise inconsistent with any post-Closing third party appraisal obtained by Purchaser, any amounts released from the Escrow Account to Sellers will be in consideration for Section 197 intangibles as defined in Section 197(d)(1) of the Code, up to the full fair market value of such assets.

12.8 338(h)(10) Election.

(a) Purchaser and Sellers agree to make an election under Code Section 338(h)(10) with respect to the Company, together with any election under the provisions of applicable state Law to the same effect (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). In connection with the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers all applicable documents that Purchaser deems necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including a reasonable number of copies of IRS Form 8023 (and/or any other form(s) or statement(s) necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Election) and Sellers shall take all steps that Purchaser deems necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including the timely delivery to Purchaser of a reasonable number of copies of IRS Form 8023 (and/or any other form(s) or statement(s) necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Election) duly signed by Sellers. Purchaser will have the sole responsibility for assuring that the Section 338(h)(10) Election is duly and timely made. Sellers (to the extent so advised by Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.8) shall comply fully with all filing and other requirements necessary to

effectuate such Section 338(h)(10) Election on a timely basis and agrees to cooperate in good faith with Purchaser in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the making of such Section 338(h)(10) Election. Sellers will include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election on their Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable Law. Sellers shall be responsible for all Taxes imposed on Company attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election to the extent such Taxes are not reflected as a liability and taken into account in the final determination of Working Capital.

(b) Within 120 days after the Closing, Purchaser will deliver to the Sellers a statement containing Purchaser’s allocation of the Purchase Price among the Assets of Company (the “Allocation Statement”). The Allocation Statement will be prepared in accordance with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and any comparable provisions of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate. Purchaser shall permit the Sellers to review and comment on such Allocation Statement described in the preceding sentence at least ten (10) days prior to filing such Allocation Statement, although the Purchaser shall be under no obligation to make changes based upon such comments so long as the Allocation Statement is prepared in accordance with Law. Purchaser, Company and Sellers will report the allocation of the total consideration among the Assets of Company in a manner consistent with the final Allocation Statement and will act in accordance with the final Allocation Statement in the preparation and timely filing of all Tax Returns (including filing Form 8883 with their respective federal income Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and any other forms or statements required by the Code, Regulations, the IRS or any applicable state or local Tax authority). Purchaser and Sellers agree to promptly provide the other parties with any reasonable additional information with respect to Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be, and reasonable assistance required to complete Form 8883 or to compute Taxes arising in connection with (or otherwise affected by) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party will promptly inform the others of any challenge by any Tax authority to any allocation made pursuant to this Section 12.8; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be fully responsible for conducting and managing any such challenge and any and all costs and expenses related thereto and agrees to consult with and keep the Sellers informed with respect to the status of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.

12.9 Market Stand-Off. Company and Sellers acknowledge that the existence of this Agreement and the negotiations with respect hereto may be considered material non-public information. Company and Sellers shall not, and shall cause Company’s officers, directors and affiliates and those of the Company’s employees who have knowledge or become aware of the existence of this Agreement and/or the negotiations with respect hereto not to, purchase, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer, or grant or acquire any option or other right to purchase, any securities of NCI, Inc. the parent company of Purchaser (“Parent”) from the date hereof through the third business day after the public announcement by of the existence of this Agreement and its subject matter.

12.10 Accounts Receivable. Purchaser shall cause the Company to attempt to collect all accounts receivable of the Company as of the Closing in the Purchaser’s Ordinary Course of Business, using a level of effort at least as great as the level of effort used by Purchaser in the course of collecting any of its accounts receivable. Anything to the contrary in

this Agreement notwithstanding, neither the Company nor Purchaser shall be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any such accounts receivable. Except as set forth in the next two sentences, no Seller shall have any right to seek collection of any accounts receivable of Company. In the event (i) any Purchaser Party shall determine that an account receivable is not collectible and (ii) any Purchaser Party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11 in connection with an alleged breach of the representation set forth in Section 3.11 regarding the collectability of such account receivable, it shall permit Representative to participate in any reasonable manner (as determined by Purchaser) in the collection efforts. If, thereafter, a Purchaser Party actually receives full payment of such indemnification claim, then Company shall assign such account receivable to the Representative for collection on behalf of the Sellers and, in the event Company receives any payment of such account receivable from the account debtor after payment of the indemnification claim was received by the Purchaser Party, Company shall deliver such account debtor’s payment to the Representative for distribution to the Sellers in accordance with this Agreement. Without the Purchaser’s written consent (which may be withheld for any reason if the account debtor continues to be a customer of the Company and which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the account debtor no longer is a customer of the Company), Seller and its assignees shall not have any right to take legal action to collect any such accounts receivable after they are assigned by Purchaser and Seller shall not take any actions in seeking to collect any such accounts receivable that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the Purchaser’s or the Company’s business relationship with such customer.

12.11 Amended Retention Agreement Payments. In the event any Purchaser Retention Bonus Payments are not paid to any individual party to an Amended Retention Agreement when required upon the one year anniversary of the Closing, or if no payment is required, Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days of such one year anniversary, pay to Representative the amount in cash of such unpaid Purchaser Retention Bonus Payments.

13. EXPENSES. Except as otherwise expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser shall bear its own legal and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with its negotiating, executing and performing this Agreement, including, without limitation, any related broker’s or finder’s fees, and Company and Sellers shall bear their legal and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with their negotiating, executing and performing this Agreement, including, without limitation, any related broker’s or finder’s fees, for periods on or before the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.2(c); provided, however, that to the extent any such costs and expenses are an unpaid liability of the Company at Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of such liability(ies) as described in Section 2.2(c)); and provided further that Purchaser shall pay the filing fee for the Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act pursuant to Section 5.14(c). Sellers shall bear their own legal and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement after the Closing, including, without limitation, any related broker’s or finder’s fees, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Sellers shall pay all applicable Taxes, if any, which are due as a result of the transfer of the Company Stock in accordance herewith.

14. FURTHER ASSURANCES. From time to time at or after the Closing Date, at the request of the other, Purchaser and Sellers each will execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery and take such actions as the other

reasonably may request in order to consummate, complete and carry out the transactions contemplated hereby, including the execution and delivery of such instruments and agreements as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to fully effect the transfer of the Company Stock to Purchaser.

15. AMENDMENT; BENEFIT AND ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement may be amended only by the execution and delivery of a written instrument by or on behalf of the Sellers and Purchaser. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other person or entity shall have any right (whether third party beneficiary or otherwise) hereunder. Sellers acknowledge and agree that Purchaser may merge with another business entity after Closing, and any successor business entity will have all of the rights and remedies of Purchaser hereunder. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign all or any portion of this Agreement to any Affiliate of Purchaser, provided that Purchaser shall remain obligated for the payment of the Purchase Price and the performance of this Agreement.

18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules hereto, which are incorporated by reference herein and are deemed a part of this Agreement) and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and referenced herein, and supersede and terminate any prior agreements between the parties (written or oral) with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Any illegal or unenforceable term shall be deemed to be void and of no force and effect only to the minimum extent necessary to bring such term within the provisions of applicable Law and such term, as so modified, and the balance of this Agreement shall then be fully enforceable.

23. CHOICE OF LAW.

(a) Choice of Law. This Agreement is to be construed and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws). Purchaser, Company and each Seller irrevocably agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in any state court located in Fairfax County, Virginia or in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Virginia (or in any court in which appeal from such courts may be taken), and each party agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and hereby agrees not to challenge such jurisdiction or venue by reason of any offsets or counterclaims in any such action, suit or proceeding.

(b) Dispute Resolution. Prior to initiating any legal action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, a party hereto shall appoint a designated representative for it whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve any such dispute, which designated representative shall contact any other applicable party hereto. Each other applicable party shall thereafter also appoint a designated representative. If such party is an individual, it shall be the designated representative. Each such designated representative shall be a senior level manager of such party or other person with the authority to make decisions and/or commitments on behalf of the respective party to resolve the dispute. The designated representatives shall meet as often as the parties reasonably deem necessary to discuss the problem in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. Unless delay would impair a party’s rights under applicable statutes of limitations, formal proceedings for the resolution of a dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: (A) the designated representatives concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely; or (B) the expiration of the thirty (30) day period immediately following the initial request to negotiate the dispute.

24. PUBLIC STATEMENTS. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall disseminate a press release in a form to be provided to Sellers prior

to the date of this Agreement. Except for such press release, none of Purchaser, Sellers or Company, without the prior written approval of the other parties, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (which, in the case of Sellers, is the prior written approval of each of the Sellers), shall make any other press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent required by Law (including securities Laws of any jurisdiction and rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange), in which case the other parties shall be given a reasonable opportunity to comment on such release or announcement.

25. COUNSEL. Each party has been represented by its own counsel in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and, consequently, each party hereby waives the application of any rule of Law that would otherwise be applicable in connection with the interpretation of this Agreement, including but not limited to any rule of law to the effect that any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the party whose counsel drafted that provision.

26. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT ANY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH AGREEMENTS.

Any such party will be entitled to (i) enforce such rights specifically, without posting a bond or other security, (ii) to recover damages by reason of a breach of any provision of this Agreement and (iii) to exercise all other rights granted by Law.

28. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Except with respect to indemnity claims for Purchaser Parties and Seller Parties, this Agreement will not confer any rights upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

29. SELLERS REPRESENTATIVE.

(a) By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Company, each Seller and Special Indemnitor hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Xxxxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxx as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Representative”) of such Seller and of Special Indemnitor with full powers of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of thereof with respect to the performance on behalf of such Seller and Special Indemnitor under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be from time to time amended, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents on behalf of Sellers and Special Indemnitor, if any, as the Representative shall deem necessary or

appropriate in connection with any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including:

(i) to agree upon or compromise any matter related to the calculation of any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.3 or other payments to be made under this Agreement;

(ii) to direct the distribution of the Purchase Price;

(iii) to act for Sellers and Special Indemnitor with respect to all indemnification matters referred to in this Agreement, including the right to compromise on behalf of Sellers and/or Special Indemnitor any indemnification claim made by or against Sellers and/or Special Idemnitor, if any;

(iv) to act for the Sellers with respect to all post-Closing matters including pursuant to Section 12 and including to consent to the payment of funds in the Escrow Account to Purchaser and/or to petition the Escrow Agent for the release of any or all funds due Sellers and/or Special Indemnitor under the Escrow Agreement;

(v) to terminate, amend, or waive any provision of this Agreement; provided that any such action, if material to the rights and obligations of Sellers in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, shall be taken in the same manner with respect to all Sellers unless otherwise agreed by each of the Sellers who is subject to any disparate treatment of a potentially adverse nature;

(vi) to employ and obtain the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as the Representative, in his sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of his duties as the Representative and to rely on their advice and counsel;

(vii) to retain a portion of the Purchase Price as a reserve against the payment of expenses incurred in his capacity as the Representative;

(viii) to sign any releases or other documents with respect to any dispute or remedy arising under the Transaction Documents; and

(ix) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of Sellers and/or Special Indemnitor which the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as any of Sellers or Special Indemnitor, as the case may be, could do if personally present and acting.

Without limiting the foregoing, after the Closing, Representative shall take the actions to be taken by the Sellers under Sections 12 and 24 hereof.

(b) The appointment of the Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any actions of the Representative as the acts of the Sellers hereunder

appointing the Representative in all matters referred to in this Agreement. Each of Company and Sellers appointing the Representative hereby ratifies and confirms all that the Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of such Representative’s appointment as Representative of the Sellers. The Representative shall act for the Sellers appointing the Representative on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Sellers but the Representative shall not be responsible to the Sellers for any loss or damage that the Company or any of the Sellers may suffer by reason of the performance by the Representative of such Representative’s duties under this Agreement and any other agreement appointing such Representative, other than loss or damage arising from intentional misrepresentation or fraud in the performance of such Representative’s duties under this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Sellers appointing the Representative hereunder hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that any Person shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by the Representative under this Agreement without liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any of the Sellers. If the Representative resigns or ceases to function in such capacity for any reason whatsoever, then the successor Representative shall be the Person appointed by the Sellers that held a majority of the Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that if for any reason no successor has been appointed within thirty (30) days, then any Seller, who as of the date and time immediately prior to the Effective Time, held more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Company Stock shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Representative. The Sellers appointing the Representative do hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the Representative harmless from and against any and all Losses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred or suffered as a result of the performance of such Representative’s duties under this Agreement, except for any such liability arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative

(d) In the event that upon the later to occur of (i) the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the final settlement or resolution of any claims for indemnity for which the Sellers or the Special Indemnitor are obligated to indemnify Purchaser Parties in accordance with Section 11.3(a) hereunder, amounts remain in the Representative Fund, Representative shall distribute such remaining amounts to the Sellers and the Former Option Holders pro rata in accordance with Schedule 2.2(c)(ii).
