Liabilities will take place at the offices of Seller, on or before November 11, 2005 or at such
other time or date as agreed among the parties (the “Closing Date”). If, however, the transaction

and 10, the party imposing such closing condition may with five (5) days prior written notice
to other party extend the Closing Date to November 30, 2005 which date shall be the new Closing
Date. Notwithstanding the time of the Closing, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred as of
5:00 p.m. eastern time on the Closing Date.
3.2. Purchase Price. Subject to Section 3.3, the Purchase Price will consist of the
assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Buyer and the payment by Buyer to Seller of an amount
equal to Three Million Three Hundred Thousand dollars ($3,300,000.00), which will be paid in the
following manner:
(A) at the Closing, Buyer will pay the Seller the sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00)
in cash or by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller;
(B) subject to meeting the criteria set forth in Section 3.3, within sixty days after
the twelve month Contract Valuation Date (the “Twelve Month Payment Date”), Buyer will pay the
Seller the sum of One Hundred Thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in cash or by wire transfer to an
account designated by Seller;
(C) subject to meeting the criteria set forth in Section 3.3, within sixty days after
the twenty-four month Contract Valuation Date (the “Twenty-Four Month Payment Date”), Buyer will
pay the Seller the sum of One Hundred Thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in cash or by wire transfer to
an account designated by Seller; and
(D) subject to meeting the criteria set forth in Section 3.3, within sixty days after
the thirty-six month Contract Valuation Date (the “Thirty-Six Month Payment Date”), Buyer will pay
the Seller the sum of One Hundred Thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in cash or by wire transfer to an
account designated by Seller.
3.3. Adjustment to Purchase Price.
(A) The Purchase Price to be paid after the Closing in cash pursuant to Section 3.2(B, C
and D) shall be paid within sixty days after the Twelve Month Payment Date, Twenty-Four Month
Payment Date and Thirty-Six Month Payment Date, as applicable. The Assumed Customer Contracts
assigned to Buyer for the period from September 1, 2004 through August 31, 2005 have been
represented by Seller to have an aggregate contract value (the “Assumed Customer Contracts Value”)
of $8,502,264 with the Assumed Customer Contracts Value to be recalculated for the one year period
through the end of the month prior to the Closing Date on a consistent basis.
(B) On the last day of that period ending on the twelfth full month of operation subsequent to
the Closing Date, the twenty-fourth full month of operation subsequent to the Closing Date and the
thirty-sixth full month of operation subsequent to the Closing Date (each, a “Contract Valuation
Date”), Buyer will determine the aggregate Contract Value for the twelve months of operation prior
to the Contract Valuation Date as applicable. Within twenty (20) days after each Contract
Valuation Date, Buyer will provide Seller with a statistical report showing the aggregate Contract
Value as of each such date, as applicable. The Contract Value so determined will include (a) the
remaining value of Assumed Customer Contracts prior to each Contract Valuation Date, (b) any
additional value attributable to any extension or
3
renewal of, or addenda to, any such Assumed Customer Contracts, (c) any new contracts executed
between Buyer and any of the counterparts to the Assumed Customer Contracts, excluding separate
parents or subsidiaries not included in the Assumed Customer Contracts as set forth on the list of
Assumed Customer Contracts provided by Seller to Buyer as of the Closing Date, and (d) any customer
contracts entered into within 90 days of the Closing Date with the bidders or recipients of written
quotes set forth on Schedule 3.3(B) as updated through the Closing Date (collectively, the
“Contract Value”). The value of any new customer contracts entered into between Buyer and any
customer not falling within one of the categories set forth above or from a customer contract
acquired by Buyer from a company other than Seller will be excluded from any determination of the
Contract Value for purposes of this calculation.
(C) If on any Contract Valuation Date, the aggregate Contract Value is equal to or greater
than 90% of the Assumed Customer Contracts Value at the Closing Date, Buyer shall be required to
pay to Seller the One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000.00) payment due pursuant to Section
3.2(B, C and/or D), as applicable.
(D) If on any Contract Valuation Date, the aggregate Contract Value is less than 90% of the
Assumed Customer Contracts Value on the Closing Date, Buyer shall have no obligation to pay the
amount due pursuant to Section 3.2(B, C and/or D) for the Contract Valuation Date period
that such minimum value has not been attained.
(E) Buyer shall have the right to offset against any payments due to Seller pursuant to
Section 3.2(B, C and/or D) an amount up to a maximum of $87,500 less any sublease income that is
received and less any Free Space Rental Value for the 18,500 square feet of the Teterboro Lease
that is subleased (the “Sublease Space”) from the Closing Date through July 31, 2006 (the “Sublease
Period”) provided that for the Sublease Period the Buyer shall use its best efforts to sublease the
Sublease Space, including, but not limited to, listing such Sublease Space with a recognized
commercial leasing broker at a current commercial rate. In addition, if Buyer or any other person
is using any or all of the Sublease Space during the Sublease Period and, with respect to a person
other than the Buyer, is not paying rent (the “Free Space”), the rental value attributable to the
Free Space during that period (the “Free Space Rental Value”) shall be calculated by multiplying
the square footage of the Free Space times $7.00 per square foot (annual rate) and then prorated
for the period of time utilized as Free Space.
3.4. Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Acquired
Assets in a manner determined by Buyer, and Buyer shall provide this allocation to Seller. Buyer
and Seller agree that they shall not take any position or action inconsistent with such allocation
in the filing of any income Tax Returns.
3.5. Deliveries. At the Closing:
(A) Buyer shall deliver to Seller the cash to be delivered at Closing and the other
agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents required to be delivered by Buyer
pursuant to Article 10; and
(B) Seller shall deliver to Buyer (i) the agreements, instruments of transfer, certificates
and other documents required to be delivered by Seller pursuant to Article 9 and (ii)
possession of the Acquired Assets and Liabilities.

trust, lease, partnership or other agreement or other instrument, permit, concession, grant,
franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable
to Seller or any of its properties or assets, the result of which would (either individually or in
the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business or would materially impair Seller’s
ability to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. Except as set forth on Schedule
4.13(A), Seller has complied and is in compliance, with all other Applicable Laws applicable to
Seller or any of the Acquired Assets and Liabilities or the Business, the failure with which to so
comply would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business, and no basis exists for any claim of
default under or violation of any such statute, law, ordinance, regulation, rule, permit, judgment,
order, or decree except as such defaults or violations, if any, the resulting claims for default or

investigations, audits, complaints or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) by, on behalf

(as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) with respect to which Buyer would have any loss or that
could result in an encumbrance or lien attaching to any Acquired Assets.
(E) Neither Seller nor any officer, partner, director or employee of Seller nor any affiliate
of Seller has committed a material breach of any responsibility or obligation imposed upon
fiduciaries by ERISA (if and only to the extent that such persons or entities, as the case may be,
are fiduciaries under ERISA) or engaged in any non-exempt prohibited transaction with respect to
any of the Plans, which could reasonably be expected to result in a material fine or
penalty pursuant to Section 502 of ERISA, damages pursuant to Section 409 of ERISA or a tax
pursuant to Section 1975 of the Code for Buyer after the Closing Date.

Section 4980B of the Code and Income Tax Regulations thereunder and not otherwise provided for in
the Agreement.
(G) Schedule 4.16(D) sets forth a true and complete list of all current and former

anticipatory breach thereof.

all other documents executed or to be executed pursuant to this Agreement by Buyer, and the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions by Buyer, have been duly authorized by all necessary

than the increases and payments in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice in the compensation payable to employees of the Business;
(vi) hire any employees such that the total number of employees of the Seller is
increased by more than five (5), with the notable exception of temporary or full-time
personnel required to fulfill new billable contracts only; and
(vii) agree to do any of the foregoing.
If Seller wishes to engage in any act that falls within the provisions of Section
6.1(B), Seller shall provide prior written notice thereof to Buyer who shall advise Seller
within five (5) business days of any objection Buyer has with such action. If Buyer fails to
object within such period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any objection to such act.
6.2. Access. Subject to reasonable notice and as permitted by law, and subject to the
Non-Disclosure Agreement, Seller shall afford to Buyer and its accountants, counsel and other

complete and correct copy of each written agreement or other instrument, together with all
amendments or clarifications thereto, and a true, complete and correct
12
summary of the terms and conditions of each oral agreement, identified in Seller’s Disclosure
Schedule. If access is restricted due to a term in the agreement or by Applicable Law, Seller
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure consent from the other party(ies) to the
agreement to provide such access prior to the Closing with sufficient time for Buyer review. Buyer
will treat the documents and other material and information referred to in this Section 6.2
as confidential in compliance with Section 8.5.
6.3. Release of Liens, Security Interests and Financing Leases. Except as set forth in

for a period of three (3) years hereafter (the “Restricted Period”), within the northeast region of
the United States neither Seller nor Shareholder will own, manage, operate, join, control or
participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any business (whether in
corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise) which would be in competition with the
Business purchased by Buyer (excluding the activities and agreements of Shareholder and their
respective direct and indirect parent and subsidiary entities related to the distribution, sale,
service or support of their products and services, in any such business); provided, however, that
this provision shall not be interpreted to prevent any party or any affiliate from beneficially
owning, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any entity which are
publicly traded so long as such ownership in the aggregate is less than a two percent (2%) interest
therein.
6.4.2. Non-Solicitation. Each of Seller and Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees,
jointly and severally, that throughout the Restricted Period, neither Seller nor Shareholder,
without the prior written consent of Buyer, will directly or indirectly, employ, solicit or attempt
to employ or solicit away any person who, is currently or at such time a director, officer or
employee of Buyer.
6.4.3. Reasonableness of Restrictions. Each of Seller and Shareholder acknowledges
and agrees that the foregoing restrictive covenants are reasonable notwithstanding the expense or
hardship that they may impose. Each has received fair and adequate consideration for entering into
these covenants and further agrees that if any of the provisions of these covenants are or become
unenforceable, the remainder of these covenants will nevertheless remain binding to the fullest
extent possible, taking into consideration the purposes and spirit hereof. If any restriction set
forth in this section is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because
it extends for too long a period of time, or over too great a range of activities or is too broad a
geographic area, the covenants set forth herein shall be interpreted to extend only over the
maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable,
it being understood and agreed that by the execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto regard
the restrictions herein as reasonable and compatible with their respective rights.
6.5. Plans, Benefits and Policies. Seller acknowledges that it shall retain all liabilities
related to its Plans.

names. Seller may refer to those names in connection with identifying itself as “formerly known
as” one or more of those names where such identification is required by financial or SEC reporting
or other law, rule or regulation.
6.7. Tax Certificates As soon as possible after the Closing, Seller will provide to Buyer
certificates dated as of a date after the Closing Date (A) as to the good standing and payment of
all applicable Taxes by Seller for New Jersey and New York and (B) from the appropriate taxing
authorities for New Jersey and New York stating that no Taxes are due to such state or other taxing
authority for which Buyer could have liability to withhold or pay Taxes with respect to the
transfer of the Acquired Assets.
6.8. Brokers. Seller covenants that Buyer shall have no obligation or liability to any entity
or person set forth in Schedule 4.15 or otherwise with respect to any such commissions,
brokers’ or finders’ fee.

Seller nor any of its affiliates will, directly or indirectly, through any of their respective
officers, directors, agents, affiliates or representatives will solicit, accept or entertain any
other offer to acquire or enter into discussions with or provide information to others concerning
the acquisition of the Acquired Assets or capital stock of Seller or any substantial part thereof,
whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other means.

period of one (1) year from the execution of this Agreement, Buyer agrees not to solicit any

of all or substantially all the operations, customer contracts, or renewals and extensions of the
customer contracts of the Business to another person(s) or entity(ies) whether affiliates or
third-parties, Buyer will obtain and deliver to Seller from all such person(s) or entity(ies) a
written agreement that such person(s) or entity(ies) assume all the Buyer obligations under this
Agreement to Seller for the payments set forth pursuant to Section 3.2(B-D) when due and
owing, and such transfer or assignment shall not release

SURVIVAL AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
SURVIVAL AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
12.1. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive for a period of twelve months from the Closing
Date. Notwithstanding the above, any and all representations, warranties as to taxes or tax
liabilities shall continue for the applicable tax statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentences, any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may
be sought under this Agreement will survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentences if written notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving
rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may
be sought prior to such time; provided, however, that the applicable representation or warranty
will survive only with respect to the particular inaccuracy or breach specified in such written
notice. All covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement will survive the
Closing indefinitely.
12.2. Indemnification.
12.2.1. Seller and Shareholder each hereby agree, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Buyer, and its successors and assigns against any and all liabilities, damages and losses, and all
costs or expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and
expenses (excluding incidental and consequential damages) (all of the foregoing hereinafter
referred to as “Damages”), incurred or suffered by Buyer as a result of or arising out of (i) any
inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the Seller and
Shareholder, and (ii) the breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement made or to be performed,
fulfilled or complied with by Seller and/or Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement or the
agreements to be executed in connection therewith;
12.2.2 Buyer hereby agrees, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and Shareholder
against Damages incurred or suffered as a result of or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy or breach
of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the
breach of any
20
covenant or agreement made or to be performed, fulfilled or complied with by Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement, including the payment of any of the Assumed Liabilities.
12.3. Procedures.
12.3.1. If any person whom or which is entitled to seek indemnification under Section 12.2.1
or Section 12.2.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any
third party claim against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the person against whom or
which such indemnification is being sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) is obligated to provide
indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will give such Indemnifying Party
reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than twenty (20) days after
receipt of such written notice of such third party claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party
will describe the third party claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all available
material written evidence thereof and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably
practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The
Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in, or, by giving written notice to the
Indemnified Party, to assume, the defense of any third party claim at such Indemnifying Party’s own
expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party), and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith in such defense.
12.3.2. If, within fifteen (15) days after giving notice of a third party claim to an
Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 12.3.1, an Indemnified Party receives written notice from
the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of such third
party claim as provided in the last sentence of Section 12.3.1, the Indemnifying Party will not be
liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps
necessary to defend diligently such third party claim within ten (10) days after receiving written
notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes the Indemnifying
Party has failed to take such steps or if the Indemnifying Party has not undertaken fully to
indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of all damages relating to the matter, the Indemnified
Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable
costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. Without the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any third party
claim which would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the
Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, or
which provides for injunctive or other non monetary relief applicable to the Indemnified Party. If
a firm offer is made to settle a third party claim without leading to liability or the creation of
a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified
Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and
agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party will give written notice to the Indemnified Party to
that effect. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days
after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such
third party claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such
third party claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. The Indemnified Party will
provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable access during normal business hours to books,
records and employees of the Indemnified Party necessary in connection with the Indemnifying
Party’s defense of any third party claim that is the subject of a claim for indemnification by an
Indemnified Party hereunder.
12.3.3. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which does not result from a
third party claim (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably
prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than twenty (20) days after the
Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will
describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all available material
written evidence thereof and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of
Damages that have been or may be sustained
21
by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of fifteen (15) days
within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so
respond within such fifteen (15) day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected
such claim, in which event the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be
available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
12.3.4. Failure to give timely notice or to include any specified information in any notice as
provided in Section 12.3.1, 12.3.2 or 12.3.3 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party
hereunder, except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party which was
entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its
applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.
12.4. Exclusivity. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that one of the purposes
of the representations and warranties and covenants and obligations in this Agreement is to give
the aggrieved party the right to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement. Accordingly, each of
the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that except for a claim or action for fraud, the
indemnification rights of the parties under this Article 12 represent the sole and exclusive remedy
that the parties hereto have following the Closing with respect to any misrepresentation or breach
of any representation or warranty under this Agreement on the part of any party hereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no party hereto shall be required to make an
indemnification payment until the aggregate Damages of the Indemnified Party exceed $5,000 (the
“Threshold Amount”) and no party hereto shall be required to indemnify the other party in an
aggregate amount in excess of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00).
12.5. Right of Set-Off. Pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 12.5,
Buyer shall be entitled to pursue the Seller and the Shareholder for amounts pursuant to this
Article 12 or under any other provision of this Agreement by any and all remedies available in law
and/or in equity, including, but not limited to, the right of Buyer to set-off any amount due as a
direct credit against any sums due or becoming due to the Seller or Shareholder under this
Agreement. In the event Buyer makes a claim, in good faith (the “Buyer Claim”) for indemnification
under this Article, Buyer may, at its option, by giving written notice to Seller and the
Shareholder (without limiting any other rights it may have at law or equity), withhold all or a
portion of the amounts to be paid under this Agreement or any other agreement, and pay such amounts
into escrow with an escrow agent to be mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller. Such amounts will
be held in escrow pending final adjudication or settlement of the claim. The amount to be withheld
shall equal the indemnification reasonably deemed due under the Buyer Claim. On the date that
there is a final adjudication or settlement of the Buyer Claim, if the final adjudication or
settlement (the “Settlement Amount”) equals or exceeds the escrow amount, Buyer shall retain the
escrow amount, together with any and all interest accrued and earned on the escrowed funds, in full
or partial satisfaction of the Buyer Claim, as the case may be, and if the Settlement Amount is
less than the escrow amount, the remaining escrow amount will be released to the Seller.
