          2.5   ADJUSTMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.

                (a) Purchaser shall, on or before the date that is 45 calendar
days after the Closing Date, prepare and deliver to Parent an unaudited
consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the day
before the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet") and the related unaudited
consolidated statements of income and accumulated earnings and cash flows for
the period then ended (collectively, the "Closing Statements"). The Closing
Statements (i) shall present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of date thereof
or for the period then ended, as applicable, and (ii) shall be prepared in
accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the Financial Statements.

                (b) Parent shall, on or before the date that is 45 calendar days
after receipt of the Closing Statements, notify Purchaser of any and all
objections it has regarding the manner in which any item or items are treated on
the Closing Statements (including the Closing Balance Sheet). If Parent fails to
notify Purchaser of any objection regarding the manner in which any item or
items are treated on the Closing Statements (including the Closing Balance
Sheet) within such 45-day period, Parent shall be deemed to have accepted the
Closing Statements (including the Closing Balance Sheet) and the Closing
Statements (and the Closing Balance Sheet) shall be the "Final Closing
Statements" (and the "Final Closing Balance Sheet"). If Parent notifies

                                       13
<Page>

Purchaser shall attempt to resolve such objections during the 30 calendar days
following such 45-day period. If Parent and Purchaser are unable to agree on the
manner in which any item or items should be treated in the Closing Statements
(including the Closing Balance Sheet) within such 30-day period, irrespective of
whether the basis of their disagreement arises out of the application of
accounting principles or the terms of this Agreement to the Closing Statements
(including the Closing Balance Sheet) or otherwise, Parent and Purchaser shall
each prepare separate written reports of such item or items and refer such
reports to Deloitte & Touche LLP (the "Purchase Price Adjustment Arbitrator")
within 30 calendar days after the expiration of such 30-day period. If for
whatever reason Deloitte & Touche LLP is unable or unwilling to serve as the
Purchase Price Adjustment Arbitrator, such reports shall be referred to an
alternative Purchase Price Adjustment Arbitrator mutually acceptable to Parent
and Purchaser. The Purchase Price Adjustment Arbitrator shall determine within
30 calendar days after receipt of such reports the manner in which such item or
items shall be treated in the Closing Statements (including the Closing Balance
Sheet); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the dollar amount of each item so determined
shall be within the range of dollar amounts proposed by Parent and Purchaser.
The determinations by the Purchase Price Adjustment Arbitrator regarding the
manner in which any item or items are treated on the Closing Statements
(including the Closing Balance Sheet) shall be in writing and shall be Final and
Binding on the parties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Final and Binding"
shall mean that the aforesaid determinations shall have the same preclusive
effect for all purposes as if such determinations had been embodied in a final
judgment, no longer subject to appeal, entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction, and either party may petition a court having jurisdiction over the
parties and subject matter to reduce such decision to judgment. The fees, costs
and expenses of retaining the Purchase Price Adjustment Arbitrator shall be
allocated by the Purchase Price Adjustment Arbitrator between Parent and
Purchaser in accordance with Purchase Price Adjustment Arbitrator's judgment as
to the relative merits of the respective positions of the parties regarding the
manner in which any item or items are treated on the Closing Statements
(including the Closing Balance Sheet) with respect to which they were unable to
agree as reflected in their respective reports to Purchase Price Adjustment
Arbitrator. Following the resolution of all objections of Parent regarding the
manner in which any item or items are treated on the Closing Statements
(including the Closing Balance Sheet), by mutual agreement or the Purchase Price
Adjustment Arbitrator, Purchaser shall prepare the final Closing Statements
(including the final Closing Balance Sheet) reflecting such resolution and shall
deliver copies thereof to Parent and such final Closing Statements (including
the final Closing Balance Sheet) shall be the "Final Closing Statements" (and
the "Final Closing Balance Sheet").

                (c) If the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price derived from the
Final Closing Balance Sheet is greater than the Estimated Cash Portion of the
Purchase Price, Purchaser shall within two business days after delivery of the
Final Closing Statements, pay to Parent the amount of such difference, together
with interest thereon from and including the Closing Date to but not including
the date of such payment, computed at 8 % per annum, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds.

                (d) If the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price derived from the
Final Closing Balance Sheet is less than the Estimated Cash Portion of the
Purchase Price,

                                       14
<Page>

Parent shall within two business days after receipt of the Final Closing
Statements, pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference, together with
interest thereon from and including the Closing Date to but not including the
date of such payment, computed at 8 % per annum, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds.

                (e) After the Closing and through the date the payment pursuant
to Section 2.5(c) or (d), as the case may be, is made, the Company shall, and
Holdings and Purchaser shall cause the Company to, (i) provide Parent and its
representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and without
material disruption to its day-to-day business, to the books, records, files and
personnel of the Company and (ii) furnish promptly to Parent or its
representatives all financial, operating and other data and other information
concerning the Company as may reasonably be requested for purposes of reviewing
and commenting on the Closing Statements and the Final Closing Statements,
preparing the Pre-Closing CSOC Spreadsheets and the Closing CSOC Spreadsheet and
otherwise performing its obligations or enforcing its rights under this Section
2.5 and Section 5.14.

                (f) Any payment made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or
Parent pursuant to Section 2.5(d), as the case may be, shall be treated as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                                    OF PARENT

          Parent represents and warrants to Holdings and Purchaser, subject to
the exceptions set forth in the Disclosure Schedule (which Disclosure Schedule
shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered
sections contained in this Article III, and the disclosure in any such numbered
and lettered section of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the corresponding
section in this Article III and any other section in this Article III to which
such disclosure reasonably relates), that:

          3.1   ORGANIZATION, QUALIFICATION AND POWER AND AUTHORITY.

                (a) Each of Parent and the Company is a limited liability
company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware. The Company is qualified and in good standing as a foreign
limited liability company in each jurisdiction which recognizes such concept
where the properties owned, leased or operated, or the business conducted, by it
requires such qualification, except where any failure to be so qualified or be
in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has all requisite limited
liability company power and authority, and all Permits necessary, to own, lease
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted, except where any failure to have such power and authority or Permits
would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Parent has made

                                       15
<Page>

available to Purchaser complete and correct copies of the certificate of
formation and operating agreement of the Company as in effect as of the date
hereof.

                (b) Each of Parent and the Company has the requisite limited
liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
to consummate the Transaction. This Agreement and the consummation by Parent and
the Company of the Transaction have been duly and validly authorized by the
members of Parent and the member of the Company, and no other limited liability
company proceeding on the part of Parent or the Company is necessary to
authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Transaction. This Agreement has
been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and the Company and,
assuming this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of
Purchaser, constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Parent and the
Company, enforceable against Parent and the Company in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
Laws now or hereinafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          3.2   MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS. Parent is beneficial owner of, and has
good and marketable title to, all of the Membership Interests, free and clear of
all Liens (except restrictions on transfers of securities imposed by applicable
state and federal securities Laws). The Membership Interests are the only
outstanding membership interests of the Company. The Company does not have
outstanding any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any membership
interests, any rights to subscribe for or to purchase or any options for the
purchase of, or any agreements providing for the issuance (contingent or
otherwise) of, or any calls, commitments or claims of any other character
relating to the issuance of, any membership interests. The Company is not
subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise
acquire or retire, or to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
any membership interests. The Company has not violated any federal or state
securities laws in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of any of the
Membership Interests. The Membership Interests have been duly authorized and are
validly issued.

          3.3   SUBSIDIARIES. Section 3.3 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth
the name, jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and authorized capital
of each Subsidiary of the Company and the jurisdictions in which each Subsidiary
of the Company is qualified to do business (each, a "Company Subsidiary" and
collectively, the "Company Subsidiaries"). All the outstanding capital stock of
each Company Subsidiary has been duly authorized, is owned directly by the
Company free and clear of all Liens (except restrictions on transfers of
securities imposed by applicable state and federal securities Laws) and is
validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable. Each Company Subsidiary is a
corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized. Each
Company Subsidiary is qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation or
other legal entity in each jurisdiction which recognizes such concept where the
properties owned, leased or operated,

                                       16
<Page>

or the business conducted by it requires such qualification, except where any
failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not, individually or in
the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each
Company Subsidiary has all requisite corporate power and authority, and all
Permits necessary, to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its
business as it is now being conducted, except where any failure to have such
power and authority or Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Parent has made available
to Purchaser complete and correct copies of the organizational documents of each
Company Subsidiary as in effect as of the date hereof.

          3.4   GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS; NO VIOLATIONS.

                (a) Except for (i) the filing of notification and report forms
with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and the Antitrust
Division of the United States Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division")
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act")
and the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period thereunder
and (ii) such actions as are necessary to comply with the industrial security
regulations of the United States Department of Defense and the Proxy Agreement,
no notices to, consents of, or filings with, any Governmental Authority are
necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by Parent and the
Company of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and the Company of the
Transaction.

          5.6   PUBLICITY. Parent, Holdings and Purchaser will consult with each
other and will mutually agree upon any press release or public announcement or
announcement to employees, customers or suppliers pertaining to this Agreement
or the Transaction and shall not issue any such press release or announcement
prior to such consultation and agreement, except as may be required by
applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any
securities exchanges (in which case each of Parent, Holdings and Purchaser shall
use reasonable efforts to consult with the other party as to the form and
content of such disclosure prior to any such disclosure).

          5.7   EMPLOYEE MATTERS

                (a) AFFECTED EMPLOYEES. Each employee of the Company or any
Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing is referred to hereinafter
as an "Affected Employee." Except as set forth in Section 5.7(h) or the
Transitional Services Agreement, as of the Closing each Affected Employee shall
cease to be an active participant in any Plan that is not sponsored or
maintained solely by the Company.

                                       35

                (b) EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. For the period
commencing on the Closing Date and ending upon December 31, 2002, the employee
benefits to be provided to the Affected Employees shall be governed by the
Transitional Services Agreement. Following such period, Purchaser shall provide
the Affected Employees with compensation and employee benefit plans, policies
and arrangements that are comparable, in the aggregate, with the compensation
and employee benefit plans, policies and arrangements provided to similarly
situated employees of other employers operating in the Company's sector.

                (c) SERVICE CREDIT; WELFARE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS. Following the
Closing, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and
entitlement to benefits (but not for purposes of accrual of benefits) with
respect to each employee benefit or compensation plan of Purchaser, the Company
or any other Affiliate of Purchaser in which any Affected Employee participates
(each, a "Purchaser Plan"), service with Parent, the Company or any other
Affiliate of Parent (or predecessor employers to the extent Parent, the Company
or any other Affiliate of Parent provided past service credit) prior to the
Closing shall be treated as service with Purchaser, the Company or any other
Affiliate of Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such service shall not be
recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of
benefits or with respect to equity based plans, policies or arrangements. Such
service also shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods,
evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any preexisting
condition limitations. Each Purchaser Plan shall waive pre-existing condition
limitations to the same extent waived under the analogous Plan. Affected
Employees shall be given credit under the applicable Purchaser Plan for amounts
paid under an analogous Plan during the same period for purposes of applying
deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had
been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchaser Plan.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Closing, the
Purchaser shall assume and agree to provide all accrued vacation and other paid
time off entitlements to the Affected Employees to the extent such liabilities
are accrued on the Closing Statements.

                (d) TREATMENT OF 401(k) ACCOUNTS. As soon as practicable
following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the trustee of the Getronics
Retirement Savings Plan, effective January 1, 2001 (the "Parent 401(k) Plan") to
transfer (in accordance with the requirements of Section 414(l) of the Code), in
cash (or, with respect to Parent 401(k) Plan loan promissory notes, in kind),
the account balances (including outstanding loan balances) under the Parent
401(k) Plan (the "Transferred Account Balances") of each Affected Employee who
is a participant in the Parent 401(k) Plan to the trustee of a defined
contribution plan (the "Purchaser 401(k) Plan") and trust maintained by
Purchaser or the Company on or after the Closing Date (such plan and trust to be
established or designated by Purchaser) which are intended to be qualified under
Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code, respectively. Upon the making of such
transfer (the "Transfer") and the receipt by the trustee of the Purchaser 401(k)
Plan of the Transferred Account Balances, the Purchaser 401(k) Plan shall
automatically assume all liabilities for accrued benefits under the Parent
401(k) Plan in respect of such Affected Employees, and the Parent 401(k) Plan
shall be relieved of all such liabilities. Effective as of the Transfer,
Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Parent 401(k) Plan, the trustees
thereof,

                                       36

Parent, its officers, directors, employees and agents and affiliates, from and
against any and all liabilities arising out of or related to the participation
of such Affected Employees in the Parent 401(k) Plan and the transfer of assets
described herein provided, however, that such indemnification shall in no way
limit, alter or affect the representations and warranties in Section 3.10. The
parties shall cooperate in the taking of any action and the filing of any
documents that may be required in connection with the transfer of assets and
liabilities described herein.

                (e) CERTAIN AGREEMENTS.

for Program Management Staff, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, to
Affected Employees terminated by the Company prior to December 31, 2002.

Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Purchaser and its
Affiliates with respect to all liabilities attributable to the HFSI Plan, the
HFSI SERP and the Retiree Medical Plan.

                (g) CERTAIN BENEFIT PLAN OBLIGATIONS. Commencing on January 16,
2003 and not later than the fifteenth business day after the end of each
subsequent month following such date during 2003, Parent shall prepare and
deliver to the Company a report (each, a "Parent Welfare Plan Report")
reflecting (i) the amount of all claims and expenses and premiums related
thereto, net of third-party insurance, made during the preceding month by any
Affected Employees (or their covered beneficiaries) under any medical or dental
benefit plan that is maintained by Parent in which such Affected Employees
participated prior to the Closing, (ii) the amount of all claims, premiums and
expenses attributable to the provision of the Services (as defined in the
Transitional Services Agreement) by Parent pursuant to TSA C9 of the
Transitional Services Agreement and (iii) the premiums for long-term disability
coverage described in Section 5.7(h), in each case to the extent that such

applicable plan, (bb) are attributable to periods on or prior to December 31,
2002, and (cc) have not previously been paid by the Company to Parent pursuant
TSA C9 of the Transitional Services Agreement. Not later than the fifth business

Parent Welfare Plan Report by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account specified by Parent in such Parent Welfare Plan Report.

                (h) LONG AND SHORT-TERM DISABILITY MATTERS. Following the
Closing, the Company shall, and Holdings and Purchaser shall cause the Company
to, continue to provide the short-term disability benefits to each Affected
Employee who is on short-term disability leave of absence as of the Closing
which would have been provided to such employees under the short-term disability
plan of Parent until the earlier of (i) the date upon which such employee would
no longer be eligible for benefits had such employee continued to be covered
under Parent's short-term disability plan and (ii) the sixth month anniversary
of the date upon which such employee became eligible for benefits under the
short-term disability plan of Parent (such period, the "Coverage

                                       38
<Page>

Period"). During the Coverage Period, Parent shall cause each Affected Employee
who (i) is on short-term disability leave as of the Closing and (ii) was
participating in Parent's long-term disability plan as of the Closing to remain
eligible for such long-term disability coverage, notwithstanding the occurrence
of the Closing, provided, however, that the continuation of such eligibility
shall be conditioned upon the payment of the applicable long-term disability
coverage premium to the Company by the Affected Employee and the Company's
payment of such amounts to Parent in accordance with Section 5.7(g).

                    (i) On and after the Closing Date, Parent, the Company and
Purchaser shall fully cooperate in providing information necessary to file
reports, complete claims or otherwise effect the provisions of this Section 5.7.

          5.8   INDEMNIFICATION.

                (a) Holdings and Purchaser shall not permit the indemnification
obligations set forth in the Company's organizational documents, in each case as
of the date of this Agreement, to be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for
a period of six years after the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely
affect the rights thereunder of the parties entitled to indemnification.

                (b) If the Company or any of its respective successors or
assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be
the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or
merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to
any Person, then, and in each case, Holdings and Purchaser shall cause proper
provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company honor the
indemnification obligations set forth in the Company's organizational documents.

          5.9   INDEBTEDNESS. Prior to the Closing, the Company and the Company

Indebtedness outstanding as of the Closing.

          5.10  INTERCOMPANY ACCOUNTS. The trade receivables and payables
arising out of transactions occurring between Parent and any of its Affiliates
(other than the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and the
Company and any Company Subsidiary, on the other hand, reflected on the Final
Closing Balance Sheet shall be settled in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice. The amount reflected on the Final Closing Balance
Sheet as an offset to member's capital as "receivables from Parent, net" (which
is a cumulative balance of the distributions to Parent) shall not be settled at
or after the Closing and neither Parent nor the Company shall have any
obligation with respect thereto from and after the Closing.

          5.11  ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price, the

the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other
parities hereto concerning resolution of the dispute.

          5.12  TRANSFER TAXES. All transfer, documentary, sales, use
registration and other such Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer
Taxes) and related fees incurred in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne one-half by Parent and one-half by
Purchaser. Each of Purchaser and Parent shall prepare and file any Tax Return
required to be filed by it in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (regardless of whether any Tax is required to be
paid in connection with such filing), and Purchaser and Parent shall cooperate
with each other in the preparation, execution and filing of such Tax Returns.

          5.13  NAME CHANGE. On or before the four-month anniversary of the
Closing Date, Purchaser will change the name of the Company and cease using
Ultimate Parent Names in any manner, except that the Company may continue to use

Parent or its Affiliates, (b) neither Purchaser nor the Company shall have any
rights in, and shall not, after the four-month anniversary of the Closing Date,
use, any Ultimate Parent Name and (c) neither Purchaser nor the Company shall
contest the ownership or validity of any rights of Ultimate Parent or any of its
Affiliates in or to any Ultimate Parent Name.

                (e) SHARING OF CSOC PAYMENTS.

received by the Company after the Closing Date under or with respect to, or in
any way related to, the CSOC Customer Contract for the Base Period, whether paid
or received in the ordinary course of business, as a result of a settlement,
compromise or consent to entry of judgment in the CSOC Action (made with or
without Parent's prior written consent under Section 5.14(g)(i)), an arbitration
or court award (in the CSOC Action or otherwise) or otherwise, are hereinafter
referred to individually as a "CSOC Payment" and collectively as the "CSOC
Payments," except that amounts paid to the Company with respect to Currently
Being Paid Post-Closing CSOC Accounts Receivable consistent (or with respect to
the timing of the payment of such amounts, substantially consistent) with the
current practice of the CSOC Customer of paying "Currently Being Paid CSOC
Amounts" reflected on the Initial

                                       43
<Page>

CSOC Spreadsheet shall be excluded from the defined terms CSOC Payment and CSOC
Payments. If any CSOC Payment is received by the Company as a result of
arbitration or court award in the CSOC Action and such arbitration or court
award also awards monetary relief to the CSOC Customer, the amount of such CSOC
Payment to be paid over to Parent or retained by the Company pursuant to Section
5.14(e)(ii) shall be the amount of such CSOC Payment net of the amount of the
monetary relief awarded to the CSOC Customer and paid by the Company. If, after
the Closing, any Affiliate of the Company, Holdings or Purchaser is paid or
receives any consideration in any form with respect to, or in any way related
to, the CSOC Customer Contract for the Base Period, whether paid or received in
the ordinary course of business, as a result of a settlement, compromise or
consent to entry of judgment in the CSOC Action negotiated settlement (made with
or without Parent's prior written consent under Section 5.14(g)(i)), an
arbitration or court award (in the CSOC Action or otherwise) or otherwise, such
consideration shall be deemed to have been paid to or received by the Company
under or with respect to the CSOC Customer Contract and to be a CSOC Payment. If
after the Closing Parent or any of its Affiliates receives any payment from the
CSOC Customer relating to the CSOC Customer Contract, such payment shall be
received and held in trust by Parent apart from its other assets and paid over
to the Company for distribution in accordance with Section 5.14(e)(ii).

                    (ii) The CSOC Payments shall be paid over to Parent or
retained by the Company as follows:

       Company;

                        (cc) third, after amounts have been paid over or

       (bb), an amount equal to the Disputed Closing CSOC Accounts Receivable
       shall be paid over to Parent by the Company;

                        (dd) fourth, after the amounts have been paid over or

       (bb) or (cc) , an amount equal to the Disputed Post-Closing CSOC Accounts
       Receivable shall be retained by the Company; and

Bogey; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that: (aa) Parent shall have no obligation or

compromise of the CSOC Action or consent to the entry of any judgment in the
CSOC Action, in each case, made without Parent's prior written consent under
Section 5.14(g)(i). Parent's obligation and liability to pay Purchaser under
this Section 5.14(e)(iii), as determined, conditioned, reduced or terminated
pursuant to this Section 5.14(e)(iii), shall be satisfied by a release from the
Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(vi)(aa) thereof. If after any such
release from the Escrow Agreement, the Company collects any Undisputed
Post-Closing CSOC Accounts Receivable any and all amounts so collected shall be
paid over to Parent, and the Company shall not retain any CSOC Payments pursuant

liability under this Section 5.14(e)(iv) until the Company shall have exhausted
all commercially reasonable efforts to collect an amount of Disputed
Post-Closing CSOC Accounts Receivable at least equal to the Disputed
Post-Closing CSOC Accounts Receivable Bogey; (bb) if for any reason whatsoever
the Company is relieved of all or any part of its obligations under, or in any
way related to, services performed or products supplied under the CSOC Customer
Contract giving rise to Disputed Post-Closing CSOC Accounts Receivable, then the
Disputed Post-Closing CSOC Accounts Receivable Bogey shall be reduced
dollar-for-dollar for the cost savings, plus any margin associated therewith,
directly or indirectly resulting from the Company having

                                       45
<Page>

been so relieved of all or any part of its obligations under, or in any way
related to services performed or products supplied under, the CSOC Customer
Contract giving rise to Disputed Post-Closing CSOC Accounts Receivable; and (cc)
Parent's obligation and liability to pay Purchaser under this Section
5.14(e)(iv) shall expire upon the first to occur of any amendment of the CSOC
Customer Contract made without Parent's prior written consent under Section
5.14(f) or any settlement or compromise of the CSOC Action or consent to the
entry of any judgment in the CSOC Action, in each case, made without Parent's
prior written consent under Section 5.14(g)(i). Parent's obligation and
liability to pay Purchaser under this Section 5.14(e)(iv), as determined,
conditioned, reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section 5.14(e)(iv), shall
be satisfied by a release from the Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section
1.3(a)(vi)(aa) thereof. If after any such release from the Escrow Agreement, the
Company collects any Disputed Post-Closing CSOC Accounts Receivable any and all
amounts so collected shall be paid over to Parent, and the Company shall not
retain any CSOC Payments pursuant to Sections (e)(ii)(bb), (dd) or (ee), until

                    (v) The Company shall, and Holdings and Purchaser shall
cause the Company to, make the payments due Parent under Section
5.14(e)(ii)(aa), (cc) or (ee) in cash not later than the tenth business day
after the end of the month in which the date of the CSOC Payment giving rise to
the obligation falls. The obligation of the Company to pay, and of Holdings and
Purchaser to cause the Company to pay, Parent the amounts due Parent under
Sections 5.14(d)(ii)(aa), (bb) or (ee) shall apply irrespective of whether the
CSOC Payment giving rise to such obligation is in the ordinary course of
business or results from a negotiated settlement or arbitration or court award
or otherwise.

                (f) PERFORMANCE OF CSOC CUSTOMER CONTRACT AND COLLECTION OF CSOC
AMOUNTS. The Company shall, and Holdings and Purchaser shall cause the Company

Accounts Receivable Bogey and the amount released and paid to Parent pursuant to
the immediately preceding clause (ii)(bb); and (iv) the CSOC Customer releases
Parent and its Affiliates from any and all claims arising out of the CSOC

                (a) ALLOCATION OF TAXES FOR STRADDLE PERIOD. For purposes of
Sections 8.2(d) and 8.3(e), in the case of any taxable period that includes (but
does not end on) the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period"), (i) the amount of any
Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company and any Company
Subsidiary for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an
interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and
(ii) the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a
Straddle Period (A) which relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed
to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period
ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in
such Straddle Period and (B) which relate to the Post-Closing Tax Period shall
be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied
by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period
ending after the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days
in such Straddle Period.

                (b) COOPERATION ON TAX MATTERS.

                    (i) Purchaser, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and
Parent shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the
other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns for taxable periods
beginning before the Closing Date and with any audit or Litigation with respect
to Taxes. 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 or Litigation and making employees available on a
mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of
any material provided hereunder. The Company, the Company Subsidiaries, Parent
and Purchaser agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax
matters pertinent to the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries relating
to any Pre-Closing Taxable Period until the expiration of the statute of
limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Parent, any extensions
thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention
agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other
party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding
any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company,
each Company Subsidiary or Parent, as the case may be, shall allow the other
party to take possession of such books and records.

                    (ii) Purchaser, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and
Parent further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any
certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other
Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could
be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the Transaction).

time

                                       54
<Page>

prior to Closing if there has been a breach by Parent of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement which, if uncured, would give
rise to the failure of a condition in Sections 6.2(a) or (b) and such breach is
incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured
within fifteen business days following receipt by Parent of written notice of
such breach from Holdings and Purchaser and has not been waived by Holdings and
Purchaser pursuant hereto.

          7.3   TERMINATION BY PARENT. This Agreement may be terminated and the
Transaction may be abandoned by Parent at any time prior to Closing if there has
been a breach by Holdings or Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement in this Agreement which, if uncured, would give rise to the failure
of a condition in Sections 6.3(a) or (b), and such breach is incapable of being
cured or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within fifteen business
days following receipt by Holdings and Purchaser of written notice of such
breach from Parent and has not been waived by Parent pursuant hereto.

          7.4   TERMINATION BY EITHER PARTY. This Agreement may be terminated
and the Transaction may be abandoned either by Parent, on the one hand, or
Holdings and Purchaser, on the other hand, by prompt written notice to the other
party or parties if:

                (a) any court or Governmental Authority shall have issued an
Order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
Transaction, and such Order shall have become final and nonappealable; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this

Order vacated; or

                (b) the Transaction shall not have been consummated by December
13, 2002; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither Parent, Holdings, nor Purchaser may
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) if such party's breach
(including the breach by the Company in the case of Parent) of this Agreement
has prevented consummation of the Transaction on or prior to such date.

          7.5   EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to this Article VII, the Transaction shall be abandoned, without

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                          SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

          8.1   SURVIVAL. The respective representations and warranties of
Parent, on the one hand, and Holdings and Purchaser, on the other hand, in
Articles III and IV shall survive until the earlier of (a) the date on which the
audit of the Company's financial statements for its fiscal year ending December
31, 2003 has been completed or (b) March 31, 2004 (and shall terminate and be of
no further force or effect as of the earlier of such dates), except that (i) the
representations and warranties in Section 3.1, 3.2 and 3.18 shall survive the
Closing forever and shall not terminate and (ii) the representations and
warranties in Sections 3.9 and 3.12 shall survive the Closing and until the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period. The respective
covenants and agreements of Parent, the Company, Holdings and Purchaser in this
Agreement which are to be performed or complied with before the Closing shall
terminate and, except as provided in Section 8.4(c), be of no further force or
effect as of the Closing. The respective covenants and agreements of Parent, the
Company, Holdings and Purchaser in this Agreement which are to be performed or
complied with after the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall be fully
effective and enforceable for the periods therein indicated or where not
indicated, forever.

          8.2   INDEMNIFICATION BY PARENT. Subject to the other provisions of
this Article VIII, if the Transaction is consummated, Parent shall indemnify
Holdings, Purchaser and the Company from and against and in respect of any and
all Losses incurred by Holdings, Purchaser or the Company to the extent relating
to or arising out of: (a) any failure of any of the representations and
warranties of Parent in Article III to be true and correct as of the date of
this Agreement or (except to the extent any such representation and warranty
speaks as of an earlier date or as set forth in the certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 6.2(d)(i)) as of the Closing Date; (b) any failure by Parent
to perform or comply with its covenants and agreements in this Agreement; (c)
any failure by the Company to perform or comply with its covenants and
agreements in this Agreement which are to be performed or complied with by it
before the Closing; or (d) except to the extent reserved for on the Final
Closing Balance Sheet, (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company
and the Company Subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or before the
Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable
period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a "Pre-Closing Tax
Period") and (ii) any liability for Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company
or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or
any analogous or similar provision of income Tax Law), as a transferee or
successor, by contract, or otherwise, to the extent such liability is
attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. For purposes of determining under
Section 8.2(a) whether there has been a failure of any representation and
warranty of Parent in Sections 3.1(a), 3.3, 3.4(b), 3.6(b), 3.7, 3.8, 3.9(a),
3.9(d), 3.10(c), 3.10(e), 3.11(a), 3.12, and 3.13 to be true and correct, the
materiality and Material Adverse Effect qualifications in those representations
and warranties shall be ignored.

          8.3   INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDINGS AND PURCHASER. Subject to the other
provisions of this Article VIII, if the Transaction is consummated, Holdings and
Purchaser, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Parent from and against and in
respect of any and all

                                       56
<Page>

Losses incurred by Parent, to the extent relating to or arising out of: (a) any
failure of any of the representations and warranties of Holdings or Purchaser in
Article IV to be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement or (except to
the extent any such representation and warranty speaks as of an earlier date or
as set forth in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(c)(i)) as of
the Closing Date; (b) any failure by Holdings or Purchaser to perform or comply
with their respective covenants and agreements in this Agreement; (c) any
failure by the Company to perform or comply with its covenants and agreements in
this Agreement which are to be performed or complied with by it after the
Closing; (d) the use of any Ultimate Parent Name from and after the Closing
Date; or (e) except with respect to any Taxes that Parent is required to
indemnify Holdings, Purchaser or the Company with respect to any breach of any
of the representations of Parent in Section 3.9 pursuant to Section 8.2(a), (i)
all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Purchaser and its Affiliates
(including the Company and the Company Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) for
all taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date and the portion of any
taxable period beginning the day after the Closing Date for any taxable period
that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a "Post-Closing Tax
Period") and (ii) all Taxes to the extent reserved for on the Final Closing
Balance Sheet. For purposes of determining under Section 8.3(a) whether there
has been a failure of any representation and warranty of Holdings or Purchaser
in Sections 4.3(b) to be true and correct, the materiality and Purchaser
Material Adverse Effect qualifications in those representations and warranties
shall be ignored.

          8.4   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

                (a) Parent shall not have any obligation or liability under
Section 8.2(a) until the aggregate amount of Parent Obligations Subject to the
Parent Deductible exceeds the Parent Deductible, and thereafter the obligation
and liability of Parent under Section 8.2(a) shall only be Losses under Section
8.2(a) which, when combined with the aggregate amount of other Parent
Obligations Subject to the Parent Deductible, are in excess of the Parent
Deductible. Parent shall have no further obligation or liability under Section
8.2(a) after the aggregate amount paid by Parent for Parent Obligations Subject
to the Parent Cap equals the Parent Cap. The Parent Deductible and Parent Cap
shall not apply to any breach of any representation and warranty in Sections
3.1(b), 3.2 or 3.18. The liability and obligation of Parent for breaches of the
covenants and agreements containing the Parent Obligations Subject to the Parent
Deductible and the Parent Obligations Subject to the Parent Cap under Section
8.2(b) shall be limited to the liability and obligation of Parent for the Parent
Obligations Subject to the Parent Deductible and the Parent Obligations Subject
to the Parent Cap as set forth in the respective Sections of this Agreement
containing the respective Parent Obligations Subject to the Parent Deductible
and the Parent Obligations Subject to the Parent Cap.

                (b) Holdings and Purchaser shall not have any obligation or
liability under Section 8.3(a) until such time as the aggregate amount of Losses
under Section 8.3(a) exceeds the Purchaser Deductible, and thereafter the
liability and obligation of Holdings and Purchaser under Section 8.3(a) shall be
only for Losses in excess of the Purchaser Deductible. Holdings and Purchaser
shall have no further obligation or liability under Section 8.3(a) after the
aggregate amount paid by Holdings and Purchaser under

                                       57
<Page>

Section 8.3(a) equals the Purchaser Cap. The Purchaser Deductible and Purchaser
Cap shall not apply to any breach of any representation and warranty in Sections
4.1(b), 4.2 or 4.8.

                (c) No party shall be liable for any Losses under Sections 8.2
or 8.3 unless the party seeking such indemnification (the "Indemnified Party")
has: (i) delivered the notice of Claim in respect of such Loss required by
Section 8.5; and (ii) such notice of Claim is received by the party from which
indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") prior to (aa) the date on
which the representation and warranty or covenant and agreement to which such
Loss relates to or arises out of terminates pursuant to Section 8.1 or (bb) if
such notice of Claim relates to a breach of a covenant and agreement which was
to be performed or complied with prior to the Closing, the earlier of (A) the
date on which the audit of the Company's financial statements for its fiscal
year ending December 31, 2003 has been completed or (B) March 31, 2004. If a
notice of Claim has been delivered and received in accordance with this Section
8.4(c), the termination of the representation and warranty or covenant and
agreement to which such notice or Claim relates shall have no effect on the
liability of an Indemnifying Party under Sections 8.2 or 8.3.

                (d) If the Transaction is consummated, Indemnification under
Sections 8.2 and 8.3 shall be the exclusive remedy of Parent, Holdings and
Purchaser, as applicable, for breach of any representation and warranty or
covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
limitation in this Section 8.4(d) shall not apply to: (i) any breach of the
covenants and agreements in Section 5.13 or indemnification under Section 8.3(c)
which Holdings and Purchaser acknowledge could not be remedied solely by
recovery of monetary damages and that, therefore, in addition to any other
remedy or relief available to Ultimate Parent or its Affiliates for any such
breach, Ultimate Parent or its Affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive
relief; or (ii) any breach of covenants and agreements in Section 5.17 which
Parent acknowledge could not be remedied solely by recovery of monetary damages
and that, therefore, in addition to any other remedy or relief available for any
such breach, Holdings and Purchaser shall be entitled to injunctive or similar
relief.

          8.5   NOTICE OF CLAIM. If the Indemnified Party shall become aware of
any claim, proceeding or other matter (a "Claim") which may give rise to a Loss
that will be taken into account for purposes of calculating whether the
Indemnifying Party's indemnification obligation arises pursuant to Sections 8.2
or 8.3, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a
result of a Claim by a Person against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party
Claim") or whether the Claim does not so arise (a "Direct Claim"), and shall
also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information
is available) the factual basis for the Claim and the amount of the Claim, if
known. If the Indemnified Party does not promptly give notice of any Claim as
specified above, such failure shall not be deemed a waiver of the Indemnified
Party's right to indemnification or application to the applicable deductible set
forth in Section 8.4 for Losses in connection with such Claim, but the amount of
reimbursement to which the Indemnified Party is entitled or application to the
applicable deductible shall be reduced by the amount, if any,

                                       58
<Page>

by which the Indemnified Party's Losses would have been reduced had such notice
been promptly delivered.

          8.6   DIRECT CLAIMS. With respect to any Direct Claim, following
receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall have 45 days to make such investigation of the Claim as is
considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the
Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information
relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with
all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree at or prior to the
expiration of such 45-day period to the validity and amount of such Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall pay, subject to the applicable limitations in Sections
8.4(a) or (b), the agreed-upon amount of the Claim to the Indemnified Party in
accordance with Section 8.8. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
do not so agree within such 45-day period, the Indemnified Party may initiate
litigation with respect thereto before a court of competent jurisdiction in the
State of Delaware.

          8.7   THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

                (a) With respect to any Third Party Claims, the Indemnifying
Party shall have the right, at its expense and at its election, to assume
control of the negotiation, settlement and defense of the Claim through counsel
of its choice, except that the Indemnifying Party shall, upon the Indemnified
Party's request, not assume control of, or if it shall have previously assumed
control of, transfer to the Indemnified Party control of (i) any Third Party
Claim brought by a Governmental Authority in which such Governmental Authority
alleges in writing that the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates committed
a criminal offense or (ii) any Third Party Claim in which injunctive or
equitable relief which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the business of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates is
sought. The election of the Indemnifying Party to assume such control shall be
made within 90 days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim or such
earlier time in the event a responsive pleading, appearance or motion is due
with respect to such Claim, failing which the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed
to have elected not to assume such control. If the Indemnifying Party elects to
assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be informed
and consulted with respect to the negotiation, settlement or defenses of such
Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, but the fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the
Indemnifying Party consents to the retention of such counsel or unless the named
parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party and a representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual
or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of
different defenses). If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such
control, thereafter fails to prosecute or defend the Third Party Claim within a
reasonable period of time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume
such control, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained
by the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim. If any Third
Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by
applicable Law to make a payment to

                                       59
<Page>

any Person (a "Third Party") with respect to the Third Party Claim before the
completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the
Indemnified Party may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall,
subject to this Article VIII, after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse
the Indemnified Party for such payment. If the amount of any liability of the
Indemnified Party under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such payment
was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the
Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall,
promptly after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of
such difference to the Indemnifying Party.

                (b) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the
defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive
right to consent, settle or pay the amount claimed. Whether or not the
Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of
any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party
Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement
provides solely for monetary damages or other monetary payments.

                (c) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall
cooperate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims and,
regardless of which party has control thereof as provided for herein, shall keep
each other reasonably advised with respect thereto.

          8.8   MANNER OF PAYMENT. Indemnification payments pursuant to this
Agreement shall be in cash, except that after Parent has made $22,169,630 in
indemnification payments in cash, it may elect to pay up to $3,600,870 in
indemnification payments in shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at the
"Liquidation Value" for such shares, as defined in the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation. Indemnification Payments shall be due and payable
not later than ten days after the determination of the validity and amount
thereof in accordance with this Agreement and if not paid on such tenth day
shall bear interest at 6% per annum from such tenth day until the date of
payment. Cash indemnification payments shall be effected by wire transfer of
immediately available funds from the Indemnifying Party to an account designated
by the Indemnified Party.

          8.9   DETERMINATION OF LOSSES.

                (a) Subject to Sections 8.9(b) and (c), indemnification payments
shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party without reduction for any Tax Benefits
or insurance proceeds available to the Indemnified Party.

                (b) If the Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds as a
result of any Losses, the Indemnified Party shall pay the amount of such
insurance proceeds (but not in excess (when coupled with any Tax Benefits paid
pursuant to Section 8.9(c)) of the indemnification payment or payments actually
received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses) to the
Indemnifying Party as such insurance proceeds are actually received by the
Indemnified Party.

                                       60
<Page>

                (c) If the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate of the Indemnified
Party (other than in the case of Holdings, Purchaser and the Company, the
stockholders of Holdings as of the Closing) recognizes a Tax Benefit as a result
of any Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to such Tax Benefit and
the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax
Benefit (but not in excess (when coupled with any insurance proceeds paid
pursuant to Section 8.9(b)) of the indemnification payment or payments actually
received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses) at such time
or times as and to the extent that the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate of the
Indemnified Party (other than in the case of Holdings, Purchaser and the
Company, the stockholders of Holdings as of the Closing) actually realizes such
benefit through a refund of Tax or reduction in the actual amount of Taxes which
the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate of the Indemnified Party (other than in
the case of Holdings, Purchaser and the Company, the stockholders of Holdings as
of the Closing) would otherwise have had to pay if such payment for Losses had
not been made, calculated by computing the amount of Taxes before and after
inclusion of any Tax items attributable to such Losses for which indemnification
was made and treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for any taxable
year; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such Tax Benefit shall be reduced by the
amount of Tax detriment (including the tax effect of any item of income or gain
or other item (including any decrease in Tax basis) which increases any amounts
paid or payable with respect to Taxes, any reduction in the amount of any refund
of Tax which would otherwise have been available, the utilization of any net
operating loss or capital loss or the utilization of any Tax credits or other
Tax attributes) that the Indemnified Party suffered as a result of any Losses.
If any adjustments are made to any Tax Return relating to the Indemnified Party
for any taxable period as a result of or in settlement of any audit, other
administrative proceeding or judicial proceeding or as the result of the filing
of an amended return to reflect the consequences of any determination made in
connection with any such audit or proceeding and if such adjustment results in
any change in the amount of any Tax Benefit or Tax detriment to the Indemnified
Party, appropriate payments will be made between the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party in accordance with the previous sentence to properly reflect
such adjustment amount.

          8.10  TAX TREATMENT OF INDEMNIFICATION AND CSOC PAYMENTS. Any
indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article VIII, any payments made by
the Company to Parent pursuant to Sections 5.14(e)(ii)(aa), (cc) or (ee) or any
payments made by Parent to (a) Purchaser pursuant to Sections 5.14(e)(iii),
5.14(e)(iv) or (b) the Company pursuant to Sections 5.14(g)(ii), 5.14(g)(iii) or
5.14(h) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax
purposes.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                            MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL

a further or continuing, waiver of such condition or breach.
