REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CHESAPEAKE

AND THE SHAREHOLDERS

Except as provided in Section 4.21 and except with respect to any representations or warranties regarding the “knowledge” or “best knowledge” of any Person for which such representations and warranties shall be made severally and not jointly, Chesapeake and the Shareholders jointly and severally represent and warrant to Widepoint and Acquisition as of the date of this Agreement and on the Effective Date (except as otherwise provided herein) as follows; provided,however, that any disclosure or reference set forth in any Exhibit attached to this Agreement shall apply to and/or qualify any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Article IV:

Section 4.01 Organization. Chesapeake is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Chesapeake is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not in the aggregate result in a Chesapeake Material Adverse Effect. Chesapeake has heretofore delivered to Widepoint accurate and complete copies of its Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, as currently in effect.

Section 4.02 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of Chesapeake consists of ten thousand (10,000) shares of common stock, one cent ($.01) par value per share, of which, as of the date of this Agreement, six thousand (6,000) shares were issued and outstanding, with all of such Chesapeake Shares being owned solely by the Shareholders. All the issued and outstanding Chesapeake Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of preemptive rights. Chesapeake has issued no other shares of its capital stock nor securities substantially equivalent to capital stock.

Except as set forth above, in Exhibit 4.02 attached hereto, or as contemplated hereby, there are not now, and at the Effective Time there will not be, any shares of capital stock (or securities substantially equivalent to capital stock) of Chesapeake issued or outstanding nor any subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights, convertible securities or other agreements or commitments of any character obligating Chesapeake to issue, transfer or sell any of its securities.

(b) Except as disclosed in Exhibit 4.02, Chesapeake does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other equity securities of any corporation or have any direct or indirect equity, voting or ownership interest in any business other than its own. There are not now, and at the Effective Time there will not be, any voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which Chesapeake is a party or is bound with respect to the voting of the capital stock of Chesapeake.

Section 4.03 Authority Relative to This Agreement. Chesapeake has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders of Chesapeake and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Chesapeake are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions so contemplated. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Chesapeake and the Shareholders and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of them, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, except as to the effect, if any, of (a) applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (b) rules of law or equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

Section 4.04 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except as otherwise provided in Exhibit 4.04 attached hereto and in the filing and recordation of the Certificate of Merger, as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary for the consummation by Chesapeake of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as set forth in Exhibit 4.04, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Chesapeake nor the consummation by Chesapeake of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by Chesapeake with any of the provisions hereof will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of Chesapeake, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Chesapeake is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound, or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, treaty, rule or regulation applicable to Chesapeake or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of (ii) or (iii) for violations, breaches or defaults which would not cause a Chesapeake Material Adverse Event and which will not prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.05 Financial Statements. Chesapeake has delivered to Widepoint copies of the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements present fairly the financial position, assets, liabilities, results of operations and changes in cash flow for Chesapeake for the periods presented therein. The Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, consistently applied during the periods presented therein. The Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, make full and adequate disclosure of, and provision for, all material obligations and liabilities of Chesapeake to the extent required by GAAP. Except as set forth in the most recent balance sheet included in the Financial Statements, there are no liabilities, debts, claims or obligations, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, whether due or to become due, which would cause a Chesapeake Material Adverse Change, to the extent required by GAAP to be included in such balance sheet. Except as set forth in Exhibit 4.05, none of the Financial Statements or schedules included therein, 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 not misleading.

Section 4.06 Absence of Certain Changes. Except as set forth in Exhibit 4.06attached hereto, since December 31, 2003, Chesapeake has not taken any of the prohibited actions set forth in Section 6.01, suffered any Chesapeake Material Adverse Changes or entered into any transaction, or conducted its business or operations, other than in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past practice.

Neither this Agreement nor any written statement, list, certificate or other information furnished by or on behalf of Chesapeake to Widepoint in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact regarding Chesapeake or Chesapeake’s business, or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements regarding Chesapeake or Chesapeake’s business contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

Each of Widepoint and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not in the aggregate result in a Widepoint Material Adverse Effect. Widepoint has heretofore delivered to Chesapeake accurate and complete copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, as currently in effect, of Widepoint and Acquisition.

Section 5.02 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of Widepoint consists of: (i) 50,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Widepoint Common Stock”), of which, as of the date hereof, 15,579,913 shares were issued and outstanding, and all of which are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of preemptive rights; (ii) 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001- per share, none of which shares are issued and outstanding; (iii) contractual rights (options, warrants, SARs and other equity-like instruments) to acquire 2,113,000 shares of Widepoint Common Stock and/or to participate in the growth of the value of Widepoint as if it were a right to receive Widepoint Common Stock, a detailed list of which is set forth on Exhibit 5.02 attached hereto listing the exercise price, conversion terms (cash or cashless), expiration and other materially relevant data; and (iv) bonus arrangements based upon the profits of Widepoint or otherwise directly or indirectly dilute the equity ownership of Widepoint shareholders, a detailed list of which is set forth on Exhibit 5.02.

Section 5.10 Compliance with Applicable Law. Widepoint and its Subsidiaries hold all permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities necessary for the lawful conduct of their respective business (the “Widepoint Permits”), except for failures to hold such Widepoint Permits which would not, in the aggregate, constitute a Widepoint Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Indemnification by Widepoint. Widepoint agrees to indemnify each of the Chesapeake and the Shareholders against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any breach of any of the representations or warranties of Widepoint under this Agreement, so long as neither Chesapeake nor the Shareholders have committed any breach of this Agreement prior to the Closing hereunder and so long as Chesapeake and the Shareholders have otherwise satisfied all the conditions required of them set forth in Article VII hereof.

(c) Claims. The provisions of this Section 6.09(c) shall be subject to Section 6.09(d) below. As soon as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified person (“Indemnified Person”) shall promptly give notice to the indemnifying person (“Indemnifying Person”) of such claim and the amount the Indemnified Person reasonably believes it will be entitled to receive hereunder from the Indemnifying Person; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Person to promptly give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Person does not object in writing to such indemnification claim within thirty (30) days of receiving notice thereof, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover, on the thirty-fifth (35th) day after such notice was given, from the Indemnifying Person the amount of such claim, and no later objection by the Indemnifying Person shall be permitted; if the Indemnifying Person agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but objects that it is obligated to pay only a lesser amount, the Indemnified Person shall nevertheless be entitled to recover, on the thirty-fifth (35th) day after such notice was given, from the Indemnifying Person the lesser amount, without prejudice to the Indemnified Person’s claim for the difference. In addition to the amounts recoverable by the Indemnified Person from the Indemnifying Person pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Indemnified Person shall also be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Person interest on such amounts at the rate of two times Prime Rate from, and including, the thirty-fifth (35th) day after such notice of an indemnification claim is given to, but not including, the date such recovery is actually made by the Indemnified Person.

(d) Notice of Third-Party Claims; Assumption of Defense. The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Person to promptly give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Person may, at its own expense, (a) participate in the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding and (b) upon notice to the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person’s delivering to the Indemnified Person a written agreement that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification for all Damages arising out of such claim, suit, action or proceeding and that the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the entire amount of any Damages, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Person’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Person upon the Indemnified Person’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person. If, however, the Indemnified Person reasonably determines in its judgment that representation by the Indemnifying Person’s counsel of both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then such Indemnified Person may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding and the Indemnifying Person shall pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

(e) Settlement or Compromise. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Person or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, of any claim, suit, action or proceeding shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, however, that no obligation, restriction, injunction, agreement with the effect of an injunction, or Damages shall be imposed on the Indemnified Person as a result of such settlement without its prior written consent. The Indemnified Person will give the Indemnifying Person at least thirty (30) days’ notice of any proposed settlement or compromise of any claim, suit, action or proceeding it is defending, during which time the Indemnifying Person may reject such proposed settlement or compromise; provided, however, that from and after such rejection, the Indemnifying Person shall be obligated to assume the defense of and full and complete liability and responsibility for such claim, suit, action or proceeding and any and all Damages in connection therewith in excess of the amount of unindemnifiable Damages which the Indemnified Person would have been obligated to pay under the proposed settlement or compromise.

(f) Failure of Indemnifying Person to Act. In the event that the Indemnifying Person does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, then any failure of the Indemnified Person to defend or to participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations hereunder.

(g) Cure for Breaches of Covenants. In the event any party to this Agreement breaches any of its covenants or obligations made hereunder (other than covenants and obligations made under Section 6.01 or 6.09 hereof), he/it shall be given ten (10) calendar days within which to cure such breach, following receipt by the breaching party of written notice from the non-breaching party of the existence and the extent of each such breach. The parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing cure period is reasonable in relation to the covenants and obligations they have undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) Indemnification Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, under no circumstances shall the Shareholders (considered as a group) be required to indemnify any other party(ies) for, in the aggregate, more than one hundred per cent (100%) of the Purchase Price, unless the indemnification arises from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Shareholders in which case there shall be no limit on a party’s indemnification obligations hereunder.

Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, under no circumstances shall Widepoint be required to indemnify any other party(ies) for, in the aggregate, more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), unless the indemnification arises from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Widepoint in which case there shall be no limit on a party’s indemnification obligations hereunder.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Chesapeake Assisted Revenues” shall mean fifty percent (50%) of the revenues in excess of the Chesapeake Assisted Revenues Base Amount as actually received by Widepoint during the Escrow Release Period which shall have been originated and generated from the mutually agreed upon efforts of Widepoint and Chesapeake after the Closing, minus any portion of such revenues which are the subject of disallowances, credits, rebates, reimbursements and/or other decreases to such revenues. The Chesapeake Assisted Revenues Base Amount shall be Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,200,000) for 2004, and for each subsequent annual period shall be determined as the amount of Revenues not associated with The Chesapeake Sourced Revenues or Chesapeake Assisted Revenues that are earned in the prior annual period. The amount of Chesapeake Sourced Revenues applicable for the year 2005 from any particular source, contract or client shall only be the amount of Chesapeake Sourced Revenues actually received by Widepoint for the year ending December 31, 2005 as calculated above, which exceed the amount of Chesapeake Sourced Revenues actually received by Widepoint for the year ending December 31, 2004, as calculated above, from such source, contract or client. The amount of Chesapeake Assisted Revenues applicable for the year 2005 from such, contract or client shall only be the amount of Chesapeake Assisted Revenues actually received by Widepoint for the year ending December 31, 2004 as calculated above, which exceed the amount of Chesapeake Assisted Revenues actually received by Widepoint for the immediately preceding year, as calculated above, from such source, contract or client. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary as contained in this Agreement and/or any other agreement entered into pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, any Escrowed Shares which are not issuable to the Shareholders at the end of the Escrow Release Period shall be transferred and returned to Widepoint (the “Reversion Shares”), with the books and records of Widepoint being then adjusted to reflect that such Reversion Shares are no longer issued nor outstanding shares of Widepoint Common Stock and with such Reversion Shares being thereafter available for possible future issuance in whatever manner and time as may be determined by a majority of the directors of Widepoint. In the event that the revenues actually received by Widepoint for the three (3) month period ending on September 30, 2005 equal or exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) of Chesapeake Sourced Revenues or Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) of Chesapeake Assisted Revenues or a combination thereof, then the Escrow Release Period shall be extended to thereafter expire on December 31, 2006, with the measures of performance applied as stated above for the years 2004 and 2005 being extended to calendar year 2006.

(c) Within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the receipt by Widepoint of at least an aggregate of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in Chesapeake Sourced Revenue or an aggregate of Fifty Million Dollar ($50,000,000) in Chesapeake Assisted Revenue, or combination thereof, then the Board of Directors of Widepoint shall prepare annual proxy statements for the ensuing Annual Meetings of Stockholders of Widepoint at which directors will be elected, with such proxy statements to provide for the increase in the size of the Widepoint Board of Directors from a total of seven (7) persons to a total of nine (9) persons and with two (2) additional people to be nominated for elected to the Widepoint Board of Directors, of which one (1) such nominee shall be a designee of the Shareholders and with the remaining one (1) nominee being a designee as determined by the mutual agreement of (A) the directors serving on the Widepoint Board of Directors who have been designated by the Shareholders and (B) the directors serving on the Widepoint Board of Directors who have not been designated by the Shareholders, with each such director of Widepoint who is duly elected by the shareholders of Widepoint at the applicable Annual Meeting to serve until his or her respective successor shall have been duly elected or appointed and shall have been qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of Widepoint; provided, however, that at any time that the Shareholders are no longer employed by Widepoint or any of its Subsidiaries, including but not limited to Chesapeake after the Effective Date, then the persons who are serving on the Widepoint Board of Directors as designees of the Shareholders shall resign from their positions as directors of Widepoint as of the date that the Shareholders are no longer employed by Widepoint or one of its Subsidiaries, including but not limited to Chesapeake after the Effective Date.

(d) In the event that Widepoint executes the Sale of a Chesapeake Sourced or Chesapeake Assisted Sourced acquisition during the term of the escrow period then the parties mutually agree to equitably adjust the vesting formula of the Escrow Release.

Section 6.16 Reverse Split. The Board of Directors of WidePoint shall determine whether a reverse stock split of the Widepoint Common Stock would materially improve the publicly reported per share sale price of the Widepoint Common Stock. In the event that the Board of Directors of WidePoint determines that such a reverse stock split of the Widepoint Common Stock would materially improve the publicly reported per share sale price of the Widepoint Common Stock, then WidePoint shall use its best efforts to take all actions necessary to prepare a proxy statement for distribution to all Widepoint stockholders for purposes of the stockholders of Widepoint voting upon a proposal to approve such a reverse stock split.
