Date referred to in Article 8 or otherwise facilitating the consummation or performance of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

1.5 Determination of Purchase Price; Initial Adjustment.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have prepared and delivered to Buyer (i) an estimated balance sheet as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a good faith estimate of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications and estimation methodologies, as were used in the preparation of the Most Recent Financial Statements, to the extent applicable, and will not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) On the Closing Date, if the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, the Buyer shall reduce the Closing Cash Payment by the dollar amount of the shortfall (the “Estimated Working Capital Deficiency”). On the Closing Date, if the Estimated Closing Working Capital is greater than the Target Working Capital, the Buyer shall increase the Closing Cash Payment by the dollar amount of the excess (the “Estimated Working Capital Surplus”).

1.6 Closing Balance Sheet; Dispute Resolution; Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within the sixty (60) day period following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholders a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a working capital statement (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”). The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement each will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications and estimation methodologies, as were used in the preparation of the Most Recent Financial Statements, to the extent applicable, and will not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby. In connection with the review of the Closing Balance Sheet, Buyer shall provide to the Shareholders reasonable access to all relevant books and records and personnel of the Company.

(b) If the Shareholders disagree with the determination of the Closing Working Capital as shown on the Closing Working Capital Statement, the Shareholders shall notify the Buyer in writing of such disagreement within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Closing Working Capital Statement to the Shareholders, which notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identify the specific items involved and the dollar amount of each such disagreement, and provide reasonable supporting documentation for each such disagreement. After the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period, neither Buyer nor the Shareholders may introduce additional disagreements with respect to any item in the Closing Working Capital Statement or increase the dollar amount of any disagreement, and any item not

so identified shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Shareholders and will be final and binding upon the Parties except to the extent that corollary adjustments thereto are necessarily required as a result of resolution of the disputed items that were so identified.

(c) Buyer and the Shareholders shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement. If Buyer and the Shareholders are unable to resolve all disagreements properly identified by the Shareholders pursuant to Section 1.6(b) within fifteen (15) calendar days after delivery to Buyer of written notice of such disagreements, then such disagreements shall be submitted for final and binding resolution to a Neutral Accounting Firm to resolve such disagreements (the “Accounting Arbitrator”). The Accounting Arbitrator shall be a Neutral Accounting Firm selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and the Shareholders; provided, that (i) if, within twenty (20) calendar days after the Shareholders have delivered their notice of disagreement to the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.6(b), the Parties are unable to agree on a Neutral Accounting Firm to act as Accounting Arbitrator, each Party shall select a Neutral Accounting Firm and such firms together shall select the Neutral Accounting Firm to act as the Accounting Arbitrator, and (ii) if any Party does not select a Neutral Accounting Firm within two (2) calendar days of written demand therefor by the other Party, the Neutral Accounting Firm selected by the other Party shall act as the Accounting Arbitrator. Each of Buyer and the Shareholders may present a supporting brief to the Accounting Arbitrator (in which case the presenting Party shall provide a copy thereof to the other Party) within ten (10) days following the appointment of the Accounting Arbitrator. Within ten (10) days of receipt of a supporting brief, the receiving Party may present a responsive brief to the Accounting Arbitrator (in which case it shall provide a copy thereof to the other Party). Each of Buyer and the Shareholders may make an oral presentation to the Accounting Arbitrator (in which case it shall provide prompt prior notice of such presentation to the other Party) within twenty (20) days of appointment of the Accounting Arbitrator. The Accounting Arbitrator will only consider such briefs and presentations and those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement as to which Buyer and the Shareholders have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified in this Section 1.6 and shall not conduct an independent review. The Accounting Arbitrator shall deliver to Buyer and the Shareholders, as promptly as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days after such Accounting Arbitrator’s appointment, a written report setting forth the resolution of any such disagreement determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Accounting Arbitrator shall make its determination based solely on presentations and supporting material provided by the Parties and not pursuant to any independent review. The determination of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be final and binding. The fees, expenses and costs of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Buyer on the one hand, and the Shareholders on the other hand; provided that if the difference between the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination of the disputed items and the determination of the disputed items that would have resulted from the use of the proposed calculations of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Shareholders, on the other hand (the “Erroneous Party”) is more than twice as great as the difference between the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination of the disputed items and the determination of the disputed items that would have resulted from the use of the other Party’s proposed calculations, the Erroneous Party shall pay all fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator.

(d) If the Closing Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.6 is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, then, within fifteen (15)

days following the final determination of the Closing Working Capital, the Shareholders shall pay to Buyer an amount in cash equal to such deficiency. If the Closing Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.6 is more than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, within fifteen (15) days following such final determination, Buyer shall pay to the Shareholders an amount in cash equal to such excess.

1.7 Earn-Out Consideration.

(a) The Shareholders shall be entitled, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to receive as additional cash consideration for the transfer of the Shares, additional cash payments (the “Earn-Out Consideration”) based on: (i) the employment of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”) by the Company or the Buyer and (ii) the Actual Revenue Growth of the Company during each of the three consecutive twelve month periods following the Closing Date (each, an “Earn-Out Period” and the entire period from the first day of the Earn-Out Period to the end of the final Earn-Out Period, the “Earn-Out Term”), as described below.

(b) Earn-Out Consideration may be paid as follows:

(i) Within sixty (60) calendar days following the last day of the relevant Earn-Out Period, the Company shall deliver the Minimum Payment to the Shareholders; provided, however, if either (A) the Company or Buyer terminates Xxxxxxx’x employment for “Cause” (as defined in Xxxxxxx’x employment agreement with the Company) or (B) Xxxxxxx terminates his employment with the Company or Buyer without “Good Reason” (as defined in Xxxxxxx’x employment agreement with the Company or Buyer) the Shareholders shall receive a pro-rated portion of the payment under this Section 1.7(b)(i) for the period in which termination occurs (based on number of days Xxxxxxx was so employed during the Earn-Out Period), but shall not be entitled to any payments for any subsequent Earn-Out Periods.

(ii) In addition to the foregoing, the Shareholders shall receive the Earn-Out Payment (as defined and calculated in accordance with Sections 1.7(c) and (d) below) for each Earn-Out Period. In the event that the Percentage Growth Achieved for the Third Earn-Out Period is less than one hundred percent (100%), then the Unearned Earn-Out for Third Earn-Out Period shall be forfeited, and Buyer shall have no further obligation to pay such amounts to the Shareholders. Example calculations of the Earn-Out Payments for the three Earn-Out Periods are set forth on Schedule 1.7(b)(ii).

(d) Annual Revenue and the resulting Earn-Out Payment for each Earn-Out Period shall be determined and paid as follows:

(i) Within thirty (30) days following the end of each Earn-Out Period, Buyer will deliver to the Shareholders a statement in writing setting forth Buyer’s determination of the Annual Revenue for such Earn-Out Period, and a calculation of the resulting Earn-Out Payment to be made by Buyer for such Earn-Out Period (each such statement, a “Buyer Earn-Out Statement”). An example calculation of the Earn-Out Payments for the three Earn-Out Periods is set forth on Schedule 1.7(b)(ii).

(ii) The Shareholders shall have a period of up to thirty (30) days following the Shareholders’ receipt of a Buyer Earn-Out Statement to review Buyer’s calculation of Annual Revenue and the applicable Earn-Out Payment. In connection with the review of the Buyer Earn-Out Statement, Buyer shall provide to the Shareholders reasonable access to all relevant books and records and personnel of the Company. If, as a result of such review, the Shareholders disagree with such Earn-Out Payment, the Shareholders shall deliver to Buyer a written notice of disagreement (an “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”) prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day review period setting forth the basis for such dispute. Upon Buyer’s receipt of an Earn-Out Dispute Notice, Buyer and the Shareholders agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute set forth in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice. If Buyer and the Shareholders have not resolved the dispute within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Earn-Out Dispute Notice (or such longer period of time as Buyer and the Shareholders may mutually agree), then Buyer and the Shareholders agree to finally resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 1.7(d)(iii) below.

(iii) If Buyer and the Shareholders cannot reach agreement as described in Section 1.7(d)(ii) above, then the dispute shall be promptly referred to an Accounting Arbitrator, who shall be selected in accordance with the same process described in Section 1.6(c), for binding resolution. The Accounting Arbitrator shall determine the applicable Earn-Out Payment owed at such time, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as promptly as may be reasonably practicable and shall endeavor to complete such process within a period of no more than sixty (60) days. The determination of the Accounting Arbitrator, absent manifest error, shall be final and binding on Buyer and the Shareholders, effective as of the date the Accounting Arbitrator’s written opinion is received by Buyer and the Shareholders. Buyer and the Shareholders shall each pay their own respective costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing dispute resolution process, but Buyer and the Shareholders shall share equally the costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator, provided that if there is an Erroneous Party as described in Section 1.6(c) with respect to the disputed items at issue, then the Erroneous Party shall pay all fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator.

(iv) Prior to the date that is the later of (A) ten (10) days following the final determination of the Earn-Out Payment in accordance with this Section 1.7(d) (whether by failure of the Shareholders to deliver an Earn-Out Dispute Notice within the required time period, by agreement of the parties, or by receipt of an opinion of the Accounting Arbitrator), and (B) two (2) months following the end of the relevant Earn-Out Period, Buyer shall pay to the Shareholders an amount in cash equal to the Earn-Out Payment as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.7(d). In the event that the Percentage Growth Achieved for the Third Earn-Out Period is less than one hundred percent (100%), then the Unearned Amount for the Third Earn-Out Period shall be forfeited, and Buyer shall have no further obligation to pay such amount to the Shareholders.

(e) The calculation of Earn-Out Payment set forth above assumes that Xxxxxxx remains employed by the Company during the entire Earn-Out Term. Otherwise, the following adjustments shall be made to the calculation of Earn-Out Payment:

(i) In the event that Xxxxxxx voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company or Buyer without Good Reason or the Company or Buyer terminates his employment for Cause during any Earn-Out Period, then (A) the Shareholders shall not be entitled to any Earn-Out Payment for any subsequent Earn-Out Period, and (B) the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Period shall be adjusted as follows: (1) Unearned Earn-Out for any previous Earn-Out Period shall not be included in the calculation of the Maximum Payment for such Earn-Out Period; (2) Annual Revenue Growth for such Earn-Out Period (the “Annualized Revenue”) shall equal (a) the Annual Revenue for such Earn-Out Period through the month during which Xxxxxxx’x employment is terminated in the manner described above in this Section 1.7(e)(i) (such number of months, the “Elapsed Months”), divided by (b) the number of Elapsed Months, multiplied by (c) twelve (12); (3) the Percentage Growth Achieved for such Earn-Out Period shall be determined by replacing Annual Revenue in the definition of Actual Revenue Growth with Annualized Revenue; and (4) the Maximum Payment for such Earn-Out Period shall equal the Maximum Payment that would otherwise have been applicable, multiplied by the number of Elapsed Months, divided by twelve (12).

(ii) In the event that Xxxxxxx is terminated by the Company or Buyer after the Closing without Cause or his employment is terminated by death or “Disability” (as defined in his employment agreement with the Company or Buyer during any Earn-Out Period, then the Shareholders shall be entitled to receive the Maximum Payment for such Earn-Out Period and any subsequent Earn-Out Period(s), provided that no Unearned Earnouts relating to any previous Earn-Out Period(s) shall be included in the calculation of such Maximum Payment(s).

1.8 Holdback. Buyer shall withhold an amount equal to the Holdback Amount from the payment of cash at the Closing (the “Holdback”). In the event the Shareholders are required to indemnify Buyer for breaches of representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the definitive agreement, Buyer may deduct any amounts due to it from the Holdback. Any portion of the Holdback remaining after deducting any amounts used or set aside to satisfy indemnity claims in accordance with the terms hereof, plus interest on such remaining portion earned under the investment vehicle selected by the Shareholders at the Closing, will be released at the end of the Holdback Period. The Holdback shall not limit the Shareholders’ indemnification obligations to Buyer.

4.1 Organization of Buyer. Buyer is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Buyer is licensed or qualified to conduct its business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where it is required to be so licensed or qualified, except where the failure to do so would not result in a material adverse effect. Buyer has all necessary corporate power and corporate authority to own or lease its assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.

4.2 Authority of Buyer. Buyer has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which Buyer is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement has been, and each such Transaction Document will be as of the Closing, duly authorized, executed and approved by all necessary corporate action and (assuming the valid authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Shareholders) this Agreement constitutes, and each Transaction Document when so executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

4.3 No Violation of Law and Agreements. The execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which Buyer is a party, and the performance by Buyer of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, does not and will not:

(a) violate or conflict with any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Buyer;

(b) (i) violate any provision of applicable Law relating to Buyer, (ii) violate any provision of any Court Order or arbitration award to which Buyer is subject, or (iii) require a registration, filing, application, notice, consent, approval, order, qualification, authorization, designation, declaration or waiver with, to or from any Governmental Authority or any other Person; or

4.4 No Litigation or Regulatory Action. There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened, against Buyer which would reasonably be expected to (i) prevent, hinder or delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) have a material adverse effect on Buyer’s operations, business or assets. There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened, that questions the legality or propriety of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.5 Investment Intention. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring the Shares. Buyer confirms that the Company has made available to Buyer the opportunity to ask questions of the officers and management of the Company and to acquire additional information about the business, assets and financial condition of the Company. Buyer will acquire its interest in the Company for investment only, and not with a view toward or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof or with any present intention of distributing or selling any interest therein. Buyer understands that the transactions contemplated hereby have not been, and will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, nor any state or any other applicable securities Law, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration or qualification provisions of those Laws, based in part upon Buyer’s representations in this Agreement. Buyer understands that no part of the interest in the Company which Buyer acquires may be resold unless such resale is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and registered or qualified under applicable state securities Laws or an exemption from such registration and qualification is available.

4.6 SEC Documents. Buyer has timely filed with the SEC all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents (including exhibits and other information incorporated therein) required to be filed by it since December 31, 2006 under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act (such documents, as supplemented and amended since the time of filing, collectively, the “Buyer SEC Documents”). No subsidiary of Buyer is required to file any form, report, registration statement, prospectus or other document with the SEC. To the knowledge of Buyer, the Buyer SEC Documents, including any financial statements or schedules included in the Buyer SEC Documents, at the time filed (and, in the case of registration statements and proxy statements, on the dates of effectiveness and the dates of mailing, respectively and, in the case of any Buyer SEC Document amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such amending or superseding filing): (a) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (b) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as the case may be. The financial statements of Buyer (including the related notes) included in the Buyer SEC Documents at the time filed (and, in the case of registration statements and proxy statements, on the dates of effectiveness and the dates of mailing, respectively, and, in the case of any Buyer SEC Document amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such amending or superseding filing) complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q or Form 10-QSB of the SEC), and fairly present (subject, in the case

of unaudited statements, to normal, recurring audit adjustments not material in amount and giving effect to amendments of Buyer SEC Documents) in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Buyer and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.

4.7 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no change, circumstance or effect that is materially adverse to the business, assets, financial condition, projected financial performance, results of operations or prospects of Buyer.

4.8 No Brokers. Except for Venture Management, Inc., the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by Buyer, neither Buyer nor any Person acting on Buyer’s behalf has paid or become obligated to pay any fee or commission to any broker, finder or intermediary for or on account of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.9 Buyer Shares. The Buyer Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by Buyer and, at the Closing, the Buyer Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will not be issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights.

ARTICLE 6

AGREEMENTS REGARDING EMPLOYEES

6.1 Continuation of Employment.

(a) Buyer shall cause the Company to continue to employ after the Closing Date all employees of the Company employed on the Closing Date (all such employees, the “Business Employees”) at the same location where each such employee was employed immediately prior to the Closing Date on at least the same wage rates or cash salary levels, and on such other terms and conditions that are not less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer. The foregoing sentence shall not restrict the Company’s ability to terminate any employee with or without cause. Buyer and its Affiliates shall, for the benefit of the Business Employees, provide credit for all years of service provided prior to the Closing Date for all purposes under all compensation and benefit plans, programs and policies maintained by Buyer and/or its Affiliates for the benefit of such employees after the Closing Date to the extent such credit was given under corresponding Benefit Plans as in existence immediately prior to the Closing Date, other than benefit accrual under any Pension Plan. With respect to Benefit Plans provided by the Company that Buyer will not continue, Buyer and Shareholders shall develop, prior to Closing, an alternative approach to compensation of Company employees in light of such plans not being continued.

(b) At the request of Buyer, prior to but contingent upon the Closing, the Company shall take all such action as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of

terminating the Company’s Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan and such other Benefit Plans as Buyer shall have identified.

(c) On or before September 28, 2007, SM&A shall cause PMA to pay (i) the PMA employees bonuses for the fiscal year prior to the Closing, calculated consistent with PMA’s past practice, (ii) accrued payroll for the period from August 1, 2007 through and including the Closing Date and (iii) accrued vacation through and including the Closing Date, all amounts paid hereunder shall be reflected as liabilities on the Closing Balance Sheet.

6.2 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing herein is intended to, and shall not be construed to, constitute an amendment of any Employee Benefit Plan or create any third party beneficiary rights of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, the right of any Business Employee or other individual to seek to enforce any right to compensation, benefits, or any other right or privilege of employment with Company or Buyer.

ARTICLE 7

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

7.1 Tax Covenants. The Buyer and the Shareholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, including any Tax Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at any proceeding. The Shareholders and the Buyer agree, and the Buyer agrees to cause the Company to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters relating to the Company for any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer or the Shareholders, any extensions thereof) for the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority. The Buyer and the Shareholders further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on the Company (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

7.2 Tax Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Shareholders shall jointly and severally indemnify, save and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against: (i) all liability for Taxes of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (ii) all Taxes of the Company resulting from all Taxes arising from the change of accounting method for federal and state income tax purposes as a result of the acquisition of the stock of the Company by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) all Transfer Taxes; and (iv) without duplication of Section 10.2, any and all Losses arising out of, resulting from or incident to any breach by the Shareholders or the Company of any representation or covenant contained in Sections 3.8, 7.1 or this 7.2.

(b) In the case of any Straddle Period:

(i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes and any other Taxes levied on a per diem basis (“Per Diem Taxes”) of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Per Diem Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the Closing Date) and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period; and

(ii) the Taxes of the Company (other than Per Diem Taxes) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such Tax Period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(c) The Shareholders’ indemnity obligations in respect of Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, as determined pursuant to Section 7.2(a), shall initially be effected by the Shareholders’ payment to Buyer of the excess of (i) any such Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (as indicated by written notice from Buyer to the Shareholders) over (ii) (A) the amount of such Taxes with respect to the Company paid by the Shareholders at any time or reserved for on the Closing Working Capital Statement and taken into account in determining the Closing Working Capital, plus (B) the amount of such Taxes paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing Date. The Shareholders shall pay such excess to Buyer within ten (10) days after written demand therefor is made by Buyer (but not earlier than five (5) days before the date on which the Taxes for the relevant Tax Period are required to be paid to the relevant Tax authority). In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2(d), payment of the Tax to the appropriate Tax authority shall not be considered to be due earlier than the date a final determination to such effect is made by the appropriate Tax authority or court unless payment of the Tax is required as a condition to such contest.

(d) If a claim shall be made by any Tax authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.2, the Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly and in any event no more than twenty (20) days following the Buyer Indemnitee’s receipt of such claim, give written notice to the Shareholders of such claim; provided, however, the failure of the Buyer Indemnitee to give such notices shall only relieve the Shareholders from his or her indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent he or she is actually prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Tax Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholders shall, upon his or her written confirmation of his or her obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees in full with respect to such Tax Claim, control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) at his or her own expense; provided, however, that if the resolution of any portion of a Tax Claim would increase the Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which are not indemnified by the Shareholders under this Agreement, the Shareholders shall give written notice to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall be entitled to control the proceedings taken in connection with such portion of such Tax Claim. The Buyer shall control at its own expense all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period and in connection with any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of the Company for a Tax Period beginning after the Closing Date. A party shall promptly notify the other party if it decides not to control the defense or settlement of any Tax Claim for a Tax

Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date which it is entitled to control pursuant to this Agreement, and the other party shall thereupon be permitted to defend and settle such proceeding without prejudice. No Tax Claim for which the Shareholders are obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees and in which the Buyer is entitled to control all proceedings may be settled without the written consent of the Shareholders, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Buyer, the Shareholders, the Company and each of their respective Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with each other in contesting any Tax Claim in accordance with Section 7.1(b). The parties shall satisfy their indemnity obligations pursuant to this Section 7.2(d) within 10 days after a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or analogous provisions of state, local or foreign Tax law) of the relevant Tax is made.

(e) The Buyer covenants that, except as may required by law or by any applicable Governmental Authority, it will not and will not cause or permit the Company or any Affiliate of the Buyer to amend any Tax Return of the Company on or after the Closing Date for the period prior to the Closing Date if such amendment would increase the liability of the Shareholders pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.3 Non-Competition.

(a) As used in this Section 7.3, the term “Business” means the business of providing earned value management consulting services, and shall include, without limitation, those services set forth on Schedule 7.3(a) hereto.

(b) Each Shareholder agrees and acknowledges that it is necessary that such Shareholder undertake not to utilize his or her special knowledge of the Business and his or her relationship with customers, suppliers and employees to compete with the Business. Each Shareholder further agrees and acknowledges that: (i) upon the Closing, Buyer will be actively engaged in the Business throughout the United States, Great Britain and Italy (the “Territory”); (ii) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.3 are essential to protect Buyer, including protecting the goodwill of the Business; (iii) Buyer would be irreparably damaged if either Shareholders were to breach the provisions contained in this Section 7.3; (iv) the consideration received by the Shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is sufficient and each Shareholder has the means to support such Person and such Person’s dependents other than by engaging in the Business, and the provisions of this Section 7.3 will not impair such ability; (v) each Shareholders’ ownership of the Shares has provided the Shareholders with trade secrets of, and confidential information concerning, the Company; and (vi) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.3 are a material inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement and Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement and would not have agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby but for the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.3. Accordingly, each Shareholder covenants and agrees to comply with such Shareholder’s obligations hereunder.

(c) As an inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each Shareholder hereby agrees that, for a period commencing on the date of the Closing and ending on the greater of (i) three (3) years following the date of the Closing, or (ii) three (3) years following termination of employment of such Shareholder with the Company or the Buyer, so

long as Buyer, or any Person deriving title to the goodwill or ownership interest from Buyer, carries on a like business therein (“Restricted Period”), such Shareholder will not:

(i) directly or indirectly, as an agent, employee, consultant, distributor, representative, stockholder, manager, partner or in any other capacity, own (other than through the passive ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the publicly traded shares of any Person), operate, manage, control, engage in, invest in (other than through the passive ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the publicly traded shares of any Person) or participate in any manner in, act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association with any Person), any Person that directly or indirectly engages in or owns, operates, manages or controls any venture or enterprise that engages anywhere in the Territory in the Business;

(ii) directly or indirectly, such Shareholder’s own account, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee, consultant, partner, proprietor, broker or otherwise, whether in a paid or unpaid position, solicit or attempt to solicit for employment any employee of Buyer who was an employee of the Company on the date of the Closing or who was an employee of the Company at any time during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Closing; provided, however, such employees responding to a bona fide general solicitation for employees by use of advertisements on-line or in the media will not be deemed a breach of this restriction; or

(iii) directly or indirectly, for such Shareholder’s own account, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee, consultant, partner, proprietor, broker or otherwise, whether in a paid or unpaid position, (a) solicit or attempt to solicit business from any Clients or Customers (as defined below), provided, however, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the solicitation of business or services which are not in any way engaged in the Business; (b) suggest, refer or recommend that any Clients or Customers terminate, cancel or withdraw any proposed or pending job, bid or order; (c) suggest, refer or recommend that any Clients or Customers patronize any other business in direct or indirect competition with the Business; or (d) interfere in any other way with the prospective relationship between the Buyer and any Clients or Customers. For purposes hereof, the term “Clients or Customers” shall be defined as those individuals, entities or businesses to which the Company had provided services within the two (2) year period immediately preceding the date of the Closing or to which the Company had submitted a bid or proposal within said two (2) year period.

(d) Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 7.3 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Business, that the remedies at law for damages on account of any breach of the provisions of this Section 7.3 may be inadequate and that such damages may not be readily ascertainable or susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Each Shareholder accordingly agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by such Shareholder or any of each Shareholder’s Affiliates or any of their respective successors and assigns of any of the provisions contained in this Section 7.3, Buyer shall be entitled to seek such injunctive and other equitable relief, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages and without posting any bond or other security, as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing contained herein

shall be construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages which it is able to prove.

(e) Each of the Shareholders and Buyer agree that, if any term or provision of Section 7.3 is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as written because such provision covers too extensive a Territory, too broad a range of activities, too long a period of time or otherwise, then such provision shall automatically be modified to cover the maximum Territory, range of activities, and period of time as permissible by applicable Law under the circumstances, and, in addition, a court is hereby expressly authorized to so modify this Agreement and to enforce it as so modified. No invalidity or enforceability of any section of this Agreement or any portion thereof shall affect the validity or enforceability of any other section or the remainder of such section, or any revision or modification to such section as contemplated by this Section 7.3.

(f) If any Shareholder violates any provision of this Section 7.3 and Buyer brings legal action for injunctive relief, Buyer shall not, as a result of the breach by such Shareholder or the time involved in obtaining the relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full time period specified in this Section 7.3. Accordingly, Section 7.3 shall be deemed to have the duration specified above, computed from the date the relief is granted, but not to include any period of time during which a Shareholder is in violation of this Section 7.3.

7.4 Confidentiality.

(a) If the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Shareholder agrees not to disclose or use at any time (and to cause each of such Shareholder’s Affiliates not to use or disclose at any time) any confidential or proprietary information of the Company, except (i) in connection with the performance of such Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) to the extent permitted by paragraph (b) below. Subject to the foregoing exceptions, each Shareholder further agrees to take all commercially reasonable steps (and to cause each of such Shareholder’s Affiliates to take all commercially reasonable steps) to safeguard such information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. The information intended to be protected hereby shall include, but not be limited to, financial information, product cost or margin information, customer information, information concerning possible acquisition targets, product development information, strategic plans, lease terms, and anything else having an economic or pecuniary benefit to the Company; provided, however, that information that has been published or is publicly known at the time of disclosure or use shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.4. In the event any Shareholder or any Shareholder’s Affiliate is required by applicable Law to disclose any confidential or proprietary information of the Company, other than pursuant to the exceptions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, such Shareholder or Affiliate, as the case may be, shall promptly notify Buyer in writing, which notification shall include the nature of the legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure, and shall cooperate with Buyer to preserve the confidentiality of such information consistent with applicable Law.

(b) If there shall be a dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each Party shall keep confidential the existence, the nature of and any information concerning such dispute. In addition, if any action or other proceeding is held with

respect to such dispute, the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cause such action or other proceeding to be conducted in confidence and the results thereof to be maintained in confidence (subject to the rules of the forum of the dispute). Nothing in this Section 7.4(b) shall prohibit a Party from (i) initiating any action or other proceeding relating to a dispute or from disclosing information concerning a dispute in any action or other proceeding relating to such dispute, or (ii) disclosing information concerning a dispute to its current or potential advisors, direct or indirect equity holders, investors or lenders, provided that such Party informs the recipient of the confidential nature of the information (it being agreed that the disclosing Party will be responsible to the other Parties for any non-permitted disclosure by such recipient).

(c) The provisions of Section 7.4(a) shall survive and be binding upon each Shareholder for a period of three (3) years after the termination of such Shareholder’s employment or consulting engagement, whichever is later, if such Shareholder is an employee or consultant at the Closing. In all other cases, the provisions of Section 7.4(a) shall survive and be binding upon each Shareholder for a period of three years after the Closing.

7.5 Sale or Transfer of Buyer Shares. The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the Buyer Shares are restricted from resale, subject to meeting the one-year holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, each Shareholder agrees that he or she will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of more than half of the Buyer Shares during the first six (6) month period following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, and that prior to any sale of Buyer Shares, such Shareholder shall have notified Buyer of the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by Buyer, such Shareholder shall have furnished Buyer with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act.

7.6 Transaction Expenses. At least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholders shall provide to Buyer an itemized and complete list of all of the Company and the Shareholder’s Transaction Expenses. The Shareholders or the Company shall pay the Transaction Expenses prior to the Closing, and the Closing Working Capital shall be calculated as though all of such payments have been made.

7.7 Conduct of Business During Earn-Out Term. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the ability of the Company to meet Target Revenue Growth objectives and the ability of the parties to calculate fairly and measure the performance of the Company relative to revenue objectives will depend to a significant degree upon maintaining the Business as a whole and as a discrete operating unit. Buyer and the Shareholders shall (i) act in good faith at all times during the Earn-Out Term, (ii) not fail to take any action that would be required by reasonable, skillful, prudent and diligent business persons engaged in the independent operation of a business similar to the Business, and (iii) not take any action that would be unfairly prejudicial or discriminatory to the Business, the Company or the interests of the Shareholders in receiving the Earn-Out Consideration. Buyer shall provide the Company’s management team reasonable authority to participate in the management and operation of the Business throughout the Earn-Out Term, including reasonable authority to direct business strategy, pricing, sales and marketing during the Earn-Out Term in a manner consistent with the current plans of the Company. In the event that Buyer makes any change to the operations of the Company after the Closing Date that has a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve Target Revenue Growth during the

Earn-Out Term, then the Target Revenue Growth shall be adjusted as agreed upon by the Parties; provided that the parties agree that the operation of the Company as a division and not a subsidiary of the Buyer after the Closing Date shall not in itself be considered a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve Target Revenue Growth.

The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. All amounts due to the Indemnified Party as so finally determined shall be paid by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days after such final determination.

10.5 Third Person Claims.

(a) In order for a Person to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third Person against the Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnitor in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the third Person claim promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the third Person claim; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give the Claim Notice promptly as required by this Section 10.5(a) shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Article 10 except to the extent such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights and obligations of the Indemnitor. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnitor copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the third Person claim (or in each case such earlier time as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitor to respond to the court proceedings on a timely basis).

(b) In the event of any claim or initiation of any legal proceeding against the Indemnified Party by a third Person, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnitor to assume the defense of such claim or legal proceeding, at its option and at its own expense, if the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party of its election to assume such defense within thirty (30) calendar days after it receives notice of such claim and the Indemnitor acknowledges without qualification (other than by reference to the limitations in this Article 10) its indemnification obligations provided in this Article 10 with respect to such third Person claim or legal proceeding in writing to the Indemnified Party to control, defend against, negotiate and otherwise deal with any proceeding, claim, or demand which relates to any loss, liability or damage indemnified against hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense unless the named parties in such third Person claim include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised by legal counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor (provided that in such situation, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to employ more than one law firm). The Party controlling the defense of such third Person claim (the “Controlling

Party”) shall keep the non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such third Person claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith the recommendations made by the non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. To the extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such proceeding, claim or demand, and the Indemnified Party defends against or otherwise deals with any such proceeding, claim or demand, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, at the expense of the Indemnitor, and control the defense of such proceeding. If the Indemnitor elects to assume control of the defense of a third Person claim, any fees and expenses of legal counsel employed by the Indemnified Party with respect to such third Person claim shall be considered Losses for which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under this Article 10 only if the Indemnified Party has been advised by legal counsel that a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor (provided that in such situation, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to employ more than one law firm). Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such third Person claim or legal proceeding, which settlement or compromise obligates the other Party to pay money, to perform obligations or to admit liability without the written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the Indemnitor agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or compromise and such settlement or compromise includes a complete written release of the Indemnified Party from further liability and does not impose any injunctive relief or other operational restrictions on the Indemnified Party.

(c) The parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of records and information which is reasonably relevant to such third Person claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(d) After any final Court Order shall have been rendered and the time therefrom in which to appeal has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be indemnifiable by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice.

(e) Sections 10.2 through 10.5 shall not apply to any Tax Claims, which shall instead be subject to the provisions of Section 7.2.

10.6 Additional Provisions

(a) For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses of a Buyer Indemnitee, such amount shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance benefits and proceeds actually received by Buyer or the Company in respect of the Losses (net of any deductible amounts and costs of collection) (collectively, “Insurance Benefits”). Without affecting any Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder, Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make claims to obtain Insurance Benefits if there is a reasonable basis to

conclude coverage is available, provided that such actions do not prejudice Buyer’s or the Company’s insurability or materially increase the cost to Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, of maintaining insurance coverage substantially similar to that maintained by Buyer or the Company immediately prior to such Insurance Benefits becoming payable to Buyer or the Company. No payment required to be made by the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article 10 shall be delayed until Buyer seeks such recovery or actually collects insurance benefits. In the event that Buyer recovers Insurance Benefits at any time in respect of Losses for which the Indemnitor has previously indemnified Buyer pursuant to this Article 10, then Buyer agrees to remit such Insurance Benefits to the Indemnitor promptly upon its receipt thereof. Neither Buyer nor the Company shall be obligated to commence any litigation in connection with seeking Insurance Benefits.

(b) In calculating any Losses there shall be deducted any indemnification, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof from any third Person with respect thereto. Any such amounts or benefits received by an Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof with respect to any indemnity claim after it has received an indemnity payment hereunder shall be promptly paid over to the Indemnitor; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to pay over any such amount or benefit in excess of the amount paid by the Indemnitor to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.

(c) Except for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Law, claims of fraud or willful misconduct and injunctive and provisional relief, if the Closing occurs, Section 7.2 and this Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty contained herein or any breach of this Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Closing, Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to notify Shareholders and the Company if it becomes aware of any breach by Shareholders or the Company of their representations and warranties set forth herein; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Shareholders and the Company shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Buyer (including but not limited to by any of its advisors, consultant or representatives) or by reason of the fact that Buyer or any of such advisors, consultants or representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate.

10.7 Payment of Claims. Buyer Indemnitees shall seek payment for any amounts due with respect to all claims for indemnification under Section 10.2 as follows: (A) first, out of the Holdback in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof, (B) second, to the extent that amounts owing by the Shareholders exceed the amount in the Holdback remaining available therefore at such time, the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to seek return of the Buyer Shares, which for the purposes of this Section 10.7 shall be valued at fair market value at the time such payment becomes due, (C) any remaining amounts shall be deducted by Buyer from any future Earnout Payments to which the Shareholders may be entitled, and (D) thereafter, Buyer Indemnitees shall have a claim against the Shareholders for payment in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 10.7 shall not apply to the Shareholders’ payment obligations under Section 7.2.

10.8 Indemnity Payments as Adjustments to Purchase Price. The parties agree that to the greatest extent possible the payment of any indemnity under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to vary the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” or to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.
