(3) years after the Closing Date, will use its best efforts to register the
shares of Buyer Common Stock being issued to Shareholders hereunder, subject
to the limitations contained in Section 6.7, under the applicable form of
Registration Statement to be filed by Company under the Securities Act of 1933
and updated and maintained current for a period of three (3) years thereafter.
Shareholders shall be prohibited from selling their Buyer Common Stock
received hereunder until such stock is registered as provided in this Section
6.5 or qualifies for an exemption from registration under federal and state
securities laws. Shareholders shall be further limited in any sales of their
Buyer Common Stock received hereunder as provided in Section 6.7.

6.6. Termination of Certain Agreements. Each Shareholder shall, and each
Shareholder agrees that he or she shall cause his or her Affiliates and the
Seller to, and that his or her Affiliates and the Seller shall, effective as
of the Closing, without any cost to the Seller, terminate, rescind, cancel and
render void and of no effect all of the Contracts between the Seller on the
one hand and such Shareholder or any of his or her Affiliates, as the case may
be (other than the Seller) on the other hand, except for those Contracts
listed in Exhibit 6.6 and those Contracts entered into pursuant to this
Agreement.

6.7. Agreement of Shareholders Not to Transfer Shares. Notwithstanding
any other provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, each
Shareholder covenants and agrees that he or she will not dispose of any of the
Buyer Common Stock received from the Seller on or after the Closing Date or
the Post-Closing Date within two (2) years of the date of receipt of such
shares of Buyer Common Stock by the Seller if such disposition would reduce
the fair value of the Buyer Common Stock (measured as of the date of receipt
by the Seller) retained by such Shareholder to an amount less than fifty
percent (50%) of the fair value of the Buyer Common Stock held by the Seller
as of the date of receipt by

the Seller, unless the Shareholder obtains an opinion of counsel satisfactory
to Buyer that such transfer will not violate the continuity of shareholder
interest requirement set forth in Treas. Reg. ss.1.368-1. Any Shareholder
desiring to dispose of any shares of Buyer Common Stock received in this
transaction during such two-year period shall provide Buyer with written
notice, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the intended date of
disposition, specifying the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock the
Shareholder desires to dispose. At any time that any Shareholder desires to
dispose of any shares of Buyer Common Stock received by Seller in this
transaction, such Shareholder shall deliver to Buyer, not less than fifteen
(15) days prior to the intended date of disposition of such shares, the
written opinion of counsel referred to above in this Section.

TERMINATION

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time on or prior
to the Closing Date:

(a) With the mutual consent of Seller, the Shareholders and Buyer;

(b) By the Seller or Buyer, if the Closing shall not have taken
place on or before October 16, 1995; provided, however, that the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available
to any party whose wilful failure to fulfill any obligation under this
Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing
to occur on or before such date;

(c) By Buyer, if there shall have been a material breach of any
covenant, representation or warranty or other agreement of either or both
of Seller or of the Shareholders hereunder, and such breach shall not
have been remedied within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Seller
or the Shareholders of a notice in writing from Buyer specifying the

in writing from Seller or all of the Shareholders specifying the breach
and requesting such be remedied.

9.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 9.1, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except

survive the termination of this Agreement, and except that no such termination

Agreement.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Survival. Except as otherwise specified herein, the representations
and warranties of Shareholders and the Seller contained herein shall survive
the Closing for a period expiring at the close of business on the date that is
three (3) years after the Closing Date (the "Survival Date"), except that the
provisions of Sections 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 shall survive forever. The
representations and warranties of Buyer contained herein shall survive the
Closing for a period expiring at the close of business on the Survival Date.

10.2 Limits on Indemnification. The parties hereto agree that any
indemnification payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement by the Seller
or any or all of Shareholders on the one hand or Buyer on the other hand shall
be subject to the requirement that no claim may be made (i) until the
aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses incurred by the Seller or
Shareholders on the one hand or Buyer on the other hand exceeds $5,000, at
which time such claim for indemnification may be made for the aggregate amount
of all indemnifiable Losses exceeding $1,000, or (ii) for any amount with
respect to the Shareholders in excess of $250,000. Further, the amount to be
paid hereunder by Seller or any or all of the Shareholders to the Buyer shall
be reduced in the aggregate by the amount of any insurance proceeds paid to
Buyer for such liability under any insurance policies purchased by Buyer from
Seller as part of the Purchased Assets, as well as any proceeds received by
Buyer from any claims by Seller against third-parties, which claims were
assumed by Buyer as part of the Purchased Assets.

10.3 Indemnification by Shareholders. Each of Shareholders, jointly and
severally, agrees to indemnify Buyer against, and agrees to hold Buyer
harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by Buyer relating to or
arising out of or in connection with any of the following; provided, however,
that such indemnification shall be the sole remedy for Buyer for any and all
such Losses:

(a) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or
warranty made by the Seller or the Shareholders in this Agreement or any
document delivered at the Closing or pursuant to this Agreement; or

(b) any breach of or failure by any or all of Shareholders or the
Seller to perform any covenant or obligation of such party set out or
contemplated in this Agreement or any document delivered at the Closing
or pursuant to this Agreement; or

(c) any adjustments which result in any decrease in revenues under
any Contracts (net of any increases in the net proceeds actually received
by Buyer from any positive adjustments to the Contracts) which are made
after the Closing Date but which relate to facts or a time period prior
to the Closing Date, including but not

limited to any adjustments to any Contracts as determined by the U.S.
Department of Defense Contract Audit Agency or any other governmental
audit agency.

10.4 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer agrees to indemnify each Shareholder
against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses
incurred or suffered by them relating to or arising out of or in connection
with any of the following; provided, however that such indemnification shall
be the sole remedy for Shareholders for any and all such Losses:

(a) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or
warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or any document delivered at the
Closing or pursuant to this Agreement; or

(b) any breach of or failure by Buyer to perform any covenant or
obligation set out or contemplated in this Agreement or any document
delivered at the Closing or pursuant to this Agreement.

10.5 Claims. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall be subject to
Section 10.6. 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.

10.6 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 Losses arising out of such claim, suit,
action or proceeding and that the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the
entire amount of any Loss, 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.

10.7 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 Loss 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 Losses in
connection therewith in excess of the amount of unindemnifiable Losses which
the Indemnified Person would have been obligated to pay under the proposed
settlement or compromise.

10.8 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.
