Consequences that arise out of the termination of such insurance policies, or in
connection with the claims or Actions under such insurance policies for events

Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) and
hold Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Adverse
Consequences arising out of, resulting from, relating to, in the nature of or
caused by:
(i)
Any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by
Seller in this Agreement;
(ii)
Breach of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in this
Agreement;
(iii) The
Excluded Assets; or
(iv)
The Retained Liabilities.
(b)
Purchaser shall indemnify and defend Seller and its employees, officers,
directors, shareholders, agents, representatives and Affiliates (individually a
“Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”)
and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all
Adverse Consequences arising out of, resulting from, relating to, in the nature
of or caused by:

Any misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement made by Purchaser in this Agreement;
(ii) The
Assumed Liabilities; or
(iii) Liabilities
arising on or after the Closing Date relating to Purchaser’s ownership or

6.2 General
Indemnification Procedures.
(a) In the event that
any party to this Agreement or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller
Indemnified Party reasonably believes that such party has a claim with respect
to Adverse Consequences for which indemnity may be sought by such party pursuant
to this Article 6 (each, a “Claim”), the party indemnified hereunder (the
“Indemnified Party”) shall notify Seller or Purchaser, as applicable (the
“Indemnifying Party”) by sending written notice of such Claim, to the
Indemnifying Party (each such notice, an “Indemnity Notice”). In the case of a
Claim involving a third party claim (defined below), an Indemnity Notice shall
be given of such Claim within 15 days after the discovery by an Indemnified
Party of such Claim against the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that any
delay or failure to notify any Indemnifying Party of any Claim shall not relieve
it from any Liability except to the extent that the defense of such action is
prejudiced by such delay or failure to notify or promptly notify. Any Indemnity
Notice shall, to the extent ascertainable, (i) state (with reasonable
specificity) the basis on which indemnification is being asserted, (ii) set
forth the amount of Adverse Consequences for which indemnification is being
asserted, and (iii) if available, be accompanied by copies of all relevant
pleadings, demands and other documentation served on the Indemnified
Party.
-14-
(b) In
the case of a third party Claim (including Claims relating to Taxes) (each, a
“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party
the right (i) to control and conduct any proceedings or negotiations in
connection therewith and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnified
Party (provided such are pursued in a professional manner), (ii) to take all
other reasonable steps or proceedings to settle or defend any such Third Party
Claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party
Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (iii) to employ counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to contest any such Third Party
Claim in the name of the Indemnified Party or otherwise. The Indemnifying Party
shall, within 10 days of receipt of an Indemnity Notice of such Third Party
Claim (the “Indemnity Notice Period”), give written notice to the Indemnified
Party of its intention to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the
Indemnifying Party does not deliver to the Indemnified Party within the
Indemnity Notice Period written notice that the Indemnifying Party shall assume
the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend
against any such Third Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and shall have the sole power to direct
and control such defense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the authority to
resolve or settle such Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does
assume the defense of such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to fully participate in such defense (including with
counsel of its choice), at its sole expense, and the Indemnifying Party shall
reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party in connection with such
participation, unless there is, under applicable standards of conduct, a
conflict on any significant issues between the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party.
(c) In
the event that the Claim does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall within 30 days after the date of receipt of an Indemnity Notice
respond in writing to the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnity Response”) and set
forth with reasonable specificity those items in the Indemnity Notice to which
the Indemnifying Party does not agree as well as the basis upon which such
disagreement is founded. Within 30 days following the receipt of the Indemnity
Response by the Indemnified Party, representatives of the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party shall attempt to resolve through good faith negotiations the
applicable indemnification Claims.
6.3 Provision
on Indemnification; Credits and Escrow; Exclusive Remedy.
(a) Any
qualification by materiality set forth in any representation or warranty shall
be eliminated and not considered for the purposes of determining whether there
has been a breach of such representation and warranty and the amount of any
Adverse Consequences arising thereunder.
(b) Except
in cases of actual fraud or willful misconduct committed by Seller, any and all
amounts owing to Purchaser under this Article 6, shall be recovered from amounts
Purchaser previously paid to Seller under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or as a credit against amounts subsequently payable by
Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In the event
of a dispute between the parties concerning the amount of any credits to be
applied against amounts subsequently payable by Purchaser, Purchaser shall be
entitled to make such subsequent payments into escrow pending final
determination of the dispute by the parties, a court of competent jurisdiction
over such amounts in dispute, or pursuant to Section 7.7, as
applicable
(c) Each
party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that such party’s (and all
Indemnified Parties’) sole and exclusive remedy with respect to Adverse
Consequences and any and all other claims relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except with
respect to the agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement, which shall
be subject to the remedies provided for herein, or except to the extent caused
by actual fraud or willful misconduct committed by Seller or Purchaser, as
applicable) shall be in accordance with, and limited by, the indemnification
provisions set forth in Article 6.

ARTICLE
7.
MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Confidentiality. The parties
and their respective representatives shall keep and maintain the terms of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
confidential. The parties and their respective representatives shall treat and
hold as confidential any and all information, know-how, business or research
strategies, materials, data and documents in all forms (whether written or
otherwise) relating to the Purchased Assets, Seller or the Business or any party
to this Agreement (collectively, the “Confidential Information”); provided,
however, the following items shall not constitute Confidential Information: (a)
an item that was already available to the general public at the time such item
was received; (b) an item that subsequently becomes known to the general public
through no fault or omission by any party to this Agreement; (c) an item that is
subsequently disclosed by a third party which has the bona fide right to make
such disclosure; or (d) an item that is required to be disclosed by applicable
Law, or by any Authority or for which disclosure to an Authority is appropriate
in the conduct of business. The parties and their respective representatives
shall refrain from using any such Confidential Information in any manner or for
any purpose not in connection with this Agreement or in any manner or for any
purpose detrimental to any party’s interest, and shall upon the failure to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, deliver promptly to the applicable party or destroy, at
the request and option of such party, all tangible embodiments (including
computer records) of such Confidential Information which are in its possession.
For purposes of this Section 7.1, only representatives of the parties who have a
reasonable need to know may receive or have access to Confidential Information,
and then only if all necessary and appropriate measures are taken to protect
such Confidential Information. Each party shall also take all necessary and
appropriate measures to assure that its representatives who receive or have
access to Confidential Information of the other party observe and comply with
the provisions of, and the applicable party’s obligations under, this Section
7.1. In any event, each party shall be responsible for any breach of this
provision by any of its representatives. In the event that any party to this
Agreement is requested or required (by written request for information for
documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatories, subpoena, civil
investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential
Information, said party shall notify the other parties promptly of the request
or requirement so that the nondisclosing party may seek an appropriate
protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.1.
If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver under this
Section 7.1, any party to this Agreement is, on the advice of counsel, compelled
to disclose any Confidential Information to any Authority or else stand liable
for contempt, said party may disclose the Confidential Information to the
Authority; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall use its reasonable
efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of the nondisclosing party, an
order or such assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such
portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the
nondisclosing party shall designate. Seller recognizes and agrees that all
documents and objects containing any Intellectual Property, Confidential
Information or proprietary or business information, whether developed by Seller
or by someone else for Seller, will after the Closing Date become the exclusive
property of Purchaser and its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Section 7.1 shall prohibit Purchaser or its representatives from
disclosing Confidential Information to potential financing sources of the
Purchaser so long as such financing sources agree to keep any such disclosed
Confidential Information confidential from third parties not involved in such
potential financing.
7.2 Noncompetition. Except as
provided in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and the transaction
contemplated hereof and thereof, for a period of two (2) years following the
Closing Date, Seller shall not, and Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to,
directly or indirectly engage in the Business, or engage in, own, control, or
acquire interest in, manage, operate or lend money to, or act as an officer,
manager, director, partner, member or joint venturer of, any firm, company,
partnership, entity, enterprise or business that competes with the Business
anywhere in the world.
-16-
7.3 Non-Solicitation of Employees.
For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Seller shall
not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, encourage, solicit, induce,
or attempt to encourage, solicit or induce any Employee, or any Person who is an
independent contractor, agent or representative as of the date hereof, of
Purchaser (or any of its subsidiaries) or the Business to leave his/her
employment (or terminate his/her relationship or devote less than full time
efforts) with Purchaser (or any of its subsidiaries) or the Business for any
reason, and Seller, shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to,
hire or attempt to hire, for any position with any other business, any Employee,
or any Person who is an independent contractor, agent or representative as of
the date hereof, with Purchaser (or any of its subsidiaries) or the Business at
such time or who has been an Employee, contractor, agent or representative with
Purchaser (or any of its subsidiaries) or the Business at any time within 6
months preceding such time; provided, however that Affiliates of Seller shall
not be prohibited from employing or otherwise working with any such Person who
contacts Seller or its Affiliates in response to general solicitations through
the use of media advertisements, professional search firms or otherwise for
employment in a business which does not compete with the Business.
7.4 Reasonableness of Restrictions.
Each of Seller and Purchaser recognizes that the limitations set forth in
Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 are reasonable and not burdensome, and in the event
that such limitations are deemed to be unreasonable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then Seller and Purchaser agree to submit to a modification or
reduction of such limitations as such court shall deem reasonable.
7.5 Injunctive Relief. Seller
acknowledges that its expertise in the Business is of a special, unique,
unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character, which gives such expertise a
peculiar value, and that a breach by it of the covenants contained in Sections
7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an
Action at Law and that such breach will cause Purchaser irreparable injury and
damage. Seller further acknowledges that it possesses unique skills, knowledge
and ability and that competition in violation of the covenants contained in
Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 would be extremely detrimental to Purchaser. By reason
thereof, each of Seller and Purchaser agrees that the other shall be entitled,
in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise,
to temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to
prevent or curtail any breach of the covenants contained in Sections 7.1, 7.2 or
7.3, without proof of actual damages that have been or may be caused to Seller
or Purchaser, as applicable, by such breach or threatened breach.
7.6 Publicity. No publicity
release, announcement or other disclosure to Persons other than the parties to
this Agreement or their respective legal, financial and accounting advisors and
consultants, brokers, shareholders, stockholders, members, officers, directors
or Affiliates concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be issued by any party to this Agreement (or its/their
representatives or Affiliates) without prior consent to the form and substance
thereof by Purchaser (in the case of any proposed release or announcement by
Seller or its representatives or Affiliates) or Seller (in the case of any
proposed release or announcement by Purchaser or its representatives or
Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any such press release
or announcement is required by Law to be made by the party proposing to issue
the same, such party shall use its reasonable efforts to consult in good faith
with the other party prior to the issuance of any such press release or
announcement.
-17-
7.7 Disputes.
(a) Subject
to Section 7.7(b), in the event a dispute shall arise between the parties to
this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that the dispute shall be submitted to
arbitration in Fairfax County, Virginia in accordance with the American
Arbitration Association’s rules applicable to commercial arbitration. The
arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and judgment may be entered
thereon. In the event a party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully
challenges the arbitrator’s award, or fails to comply with the arbitrator’s
award, the other party is entitled of costs of suit including a reasonable
attorney’s fee for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the
award.
(b) Any
dispute regarding any monetary amount calculated pursuant to this Agreement or
the Note, including but not limited to the calculation of Gross Revenues or any
payment made or to be made under Sections 2.5 or2.6, shall be submitted to an
accounting firm mutually acceptable to the parties. Such accounting firm’s
decision shall be final and binding upon the parties, except that a party may
request that the applicable accounting firm reconsider its initial decision.
Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with such
accounting firm’s investigation and decision regarding such dispute provided
that if such accounting firm finally determines that Purchaser has underpaid an
obligation by an amount equal to the greater of five percent (5%) of the amount
payable by Purchaser for the period under review or Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000), Purchaser shall pay the costs and expenses associated with the
accounting firm’s decision.
7.8 Expenses. Except as otherwise
set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all
costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Affiliates in the negotiation
and preparation of this Agreement and in closing and carrying out the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents,
including all attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, broker’s fees or commissions
and related costs and expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement,
Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses
incurred or to be incurred by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in the
negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and in closing and carrying out the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including all attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, broker’s fees or
commissions and related costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Purchaser shall be responsible for any fees and expenses incurred by Seller in
enforcing its rights under Section 5.2
7.9 Survival. The representations
and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the
Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, except
representations and warranties of Seller contained Sections 3.1 (Authority and
Enforceability) and 3.3 (Brokers) and warranties of Purchaser contained in
Sections 4.2 (Authority and Enforceability) and 4.5 (Brokers) which shall
survive forever and the obligation of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, to
indemnify the other for any Adverse Consequences relating to such
representations and warranties shall survive without any limitation other than
the express duration of the representation or warranty to which it relates, if
any.
7.10 Notices. All notices,
consents, requests, instructions, approvals, demands and other communications
provided for herein shall be validly given, made or served if in writing and
delivered personally by hand, by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service (i.e., FedEx or United Parcel Service), by United States certified or

to notify the party of a change of its address or facsimile transmission number
as specified pursuant to this Section 7.10, such notice, consent, request,
