with Merger Sub as the surviving corporation as set forth below (the
"Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement and the provisions of Title 13.1, Chapter 9, of the Code

     WHEREAS, for United States federal income tax purposes, it is

Election") on or before September 30, 2002, the Company shall be merged
with and into Merger Sub at the Effective Time (as defined herein).
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary,

Corporation Law and shall make all other filings or recordings required
by the Virginia Corporation Law, and other law in connection with the
Merger.

     Section 1.3  Effective Time of the Merger.  The Merger shall,
subject to the Virginia Corporation Law, become effective as of such
date and time  as the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the State
Corporation  Commission of Virginia or at such later date and time as is
specified in the Certificate of Merger (the "Effective Time").

the debts, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Company and
Merger Sub, all as provided under the Virginia Corporation Law.

immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the

therein or by applicable law.

prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving
Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until

prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving
Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until

                                  ARTICLE II

                       EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL
                      STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS

     Section 2.1  Conversion of Shares.  At the Effective Time, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of
any shares of the capital stock of the Company  or any shares of capital
stock of Merger Sub:

          (a)  Each share of Company Common Stock owned by the Company
or owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any subsidiary of any of the Company,
Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time and each
share of Company 7.5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $5.76 par
value per share (the "7.5% Cumulative Preferred") owned by Parent or
Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled,
and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

          (b)  Each share of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding as a
share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and such shares shall
constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving
Corporation.

     (c)  (i)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(a), Section
2.2, or Section 2.7, each Share of Company Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the
right to receive consideration of $4.80, plus increments for each full
calendar month (i.e. each monthly period ending on the same date within
each month) that passes from the closing date under the Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and the
Parent to the Parent's Notice of Merger Election in amounts equal to (x)
$0.045 for each of the first six (6) full months, (y) $0.05 for each of
the next six (6) full calendar months, and (z) $0.075 for each full
calendar month  thereafter, provided however,  that if, for any reason
other than the Company's failure to timely comply with its obligations
under Sections 2.4 and 6.19 hereof, the Effective Date is not within
seventy-five (75) days of the date of the Parent's Notice of Merger
Election, the Parent's Notice of Merger Election shall be deemed to have
been given on the date determined by adding to the actual date of
delivery the number of days in excess of seventy-five (75) that the
Effective Date follows such actual delivery of the Parent's Notice of
Merger Election, and minus any Unindemnified Common Stock Purchase
Agreement Loss, as defined below in this Section 2.1 ( the
"Consideration for Company Common Stock"), payable, except as set forth
below in Section 2.4, in immediately available funds or shares of Parent
Common Stock, par value $.75 per share ("Parent Common Stock"), or a
combination of both, as follows:

          (A)  If the volume weighted average price of all Parent
Common Stock traded, as reported on the NASDAQ National Market during
the sixty (60) calendar days ending two (2) business days prior to the
Parent's Notice of Merger Election (the "VWAP") is $8.00 or higher, the
aggregate Consideration for Company Common Stock payable to all holders
of shares of Company Common Stock shall include such number of shares of
Parent Common Stock, issued in accordance with the Exchange Ratio
described below, as is necessary in order that the aggregate number of
shares of Company Common Stock exchanged through the Merger for shares
of Parent Common Stock is at least 50% of the total number of shares of
Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
(including shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub, or any subsidiary of
Parent or Merger Sub), taking into account (as shares of Company Common
Stock which are not acquired in exchange for shares of Parent Common
Stock) Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.2) and fractional
shares for which payment is made pursuant to Section 2.7(e).  The Parent
may elect, in its sole discretion, to increase the percentage of the
aggregate of such Consideration for Company Common Stock payable in
Parent Common Stock to any amount in excess of the amount determined as
described above, up to and including one-hundred percent (100%) (the
percentage of Consideration for Company Common Stock chosen by Parent to
be paid in Parent Common Stock is hereinafter referred to as the
"Stock Percentage").  The Parent shall set forth the Stock Percentage it
has chosen in the Parent's Notice of Merger Election.  With respect to
that portion of the Consideration for Company Common Stock to be paid in
Parent Common Stock in accordance with the Stock Percentage, holders of
shares of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each
such share of Company Common Stock, that fraction of a share of Parent
Common Stock determined by multiplying a fraction (the "Exchange
Ratio"), the numerator of which is the amount of the Consideration for
Company Common Stock and the denominator of which is the VWAP, by the
Stock Percentage, with the balance of such Consideration for Company
Common Stock consisting of immediately available funds.

          (B)  If the VWAP is less than $8.00 per share, the amount of
Consideration for Common Stock that shall consist of Parent Common Stock
or immediately available funds, or both, and the Exchange Ratio shall be
determined in the same manner as in A) above, except that as an
alternative to the Stock Percentage determined as described above, the
Parent may, at its option, elect a Stock Percentage of zero percent (0%),
and thereby elect to pay the entire amount of the Consideration for
Common Stock in immediately available funds.

          (C)  Notwithstanding the Stock Percentage chosen by the Parent
in (A) or (B) above, any holder of Company Common Stock may elect, by
giving notice of such election at the time such holder's shares of
Company Common Stock are surrendered to the Exchange Agent pursuant to
Section 2.7, to receive a percentage of the Consideration for Company
Common Stock greater than the Stock Percentage chosen by the Parent, up
to and including one-hundred percent (100%), provided however, if the
VWAP is less than $8.00 per share, notwithstanding the provisions of (A)
above, the Exchange Ratio for any shares of Parent Common Stock issued
in excess of the Stock Percentage upon such an election by a holder of
Company Common Stock shall be 0.6 share of Parent Common Stock for each
share of Company Common Stock.

          If the Effective Time occurs subsequent to any stock split,
reverse stock split, share dividend, split-up, recapitalization or
reorganization with respect to the Parent or the Parent Common Stock, as
applicable, as a result of which shares of Parent Common Stock shall
have been issued in respect of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock
or shares of Parent Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a
different number of shares of Parent Common Stock or another class or
classes of capital stock of the Parent, the VWAP and the Exchange Ratio
shall be adjusted equitably to reflect such stock split, reverse stock
split, share dividend, split-up, recapitalization or reorganization.

          Neither the Company or any shareholder thereof holding more
than one percent (1%) of the outstanding Company Common Stock, at any
time prior to the delivery to the Company of the Parent's Notice of
Merger Election, shall purchase, sell or otherwise engage in any trading
transactions (including without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, short sales and trading in options or other derivatives) with
respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock. None of the Parent, any
subsidiary of the Parent, Martin A. Roenigk, Alan Markowitz or William
Blair Mezzanine Capital Fund II Limited Partnership shall, at any time
prior to the delivery to the Company of the Parent's Notice of Merger
Election, purchase, sell or otherwise engage in any trading transactions
(including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, short sales
and trading in options or other derivatives) with respect to any shares
of Parent Common Stock other than in private transactions, provided
however, that, notwithstanding the above, Parent shall be permitted to
purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (A) in accordance with its
ongoing stock buy back program in amounts not greater than 6,000 shares
per week, at a purchase price per share not to exceed $9.00, (B) in an
amount required to satisfy its obligations under the CompuDyne Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, and(C) from BI, Incorporated, or its nominee,
provided, however, that any purchases of shares of Parent Common Stock
permitted in (C) above shall be excluded from the calculation of the
VWAP, and Martin A. Roenigk shall be permitted to sell up to 100,000
shares of Parent Common Stock, provided however that nothing herein
shall prohibit Parent from issuing shares of Parent Common Stock in an
underwritten public offering at any time; and

          (ii) At the Effective Time, each share of Company 6.0%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $100 par value (the "6.0%
Cumulative Preferred"), and each share of Company 6.5% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, $100 par value (the "6.5% Cumulative
Preferred")(the 6.0% Cumulative Preferred and the 6.5% Cumulative
Preferred hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company Preferred
Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be converted to a share of such stock of Surviving Corporation, in
accordance with all of such share's current terms and conditions (the
"Surviving Corporation Preferred Stock"), except that rather than being
convertible into Company Common Stock, at the Effective Time, such
shares of Surviving Corporation Preferred Stock shall be nonconvertible
and Parent will issue to the holders of such Surviving Corporation
Preferred Stock the option to receive, in exchange for the Surviving
Corporation Preferred Stock, cash and Parent Common Stock as more fully
described and set forth in Section 2.6(b) hereof.

     The Consideration for Company Common Stock and the consideration
for the Surviving Corporation Preferred Stock referred to in this
subsection 2.1 (c)  are hereinafter referred to together as the "Merger
Consideration").  The term "Unindemnified Common Stock Purchase
Agreement Loss" shall mean (x) the aggregate amount of the Parent's
loss, costs, damages and expenses subject to indemnification under
Section 11.3(b) and (c) of that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement,
dated as of May 10, 2001, by and among the Parent, the Company and
certain of the Major Stockholders (the "Common Stock Purchase
Agreement") and under Section 11.3(a) of that certain 7.5% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 10,
2001, by and between the Parent and the Company (the "Preferred
Stock Purchase Agreement") for which the Parent has made claim to the
Company on or before delivery to the Company of the Parent's Notice of
Merger Election and has been agreed to by the Company, or to the extent
not so agreed upon, determined in an arbitration as set forth in
Sections 2.4 and 6.19 hereof prior to the Effective Time, and has not
been indemnified pursuant to the terms of either such agreement, divided
by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on a
fully-diluted basis, immediately prior to the Effective Time.

     Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall contribute to
Merger Sub the right to cause the delivery of the Consideration for
Company Common Stock in consideration of the issuance to Parent by Merger
Sub of 1000 shares of common stock, $.00l par value per share, of Merger
Sub.  Merger Sub shall satisfy its obligations to deliver the
Consideration for Company Common Stock by exercising such right to cause
Parent to deliver the same.  Parent shall cause Merger Sub to deliver
the Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Article II.

     Section 2.2  Shares of Dissenting Stockholders.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common
Stock ("Dissenting Shares") that are outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time and which are held by a person (a "Dissenting
Stockholder") who has not voted in favor of or consented to the Merger
and who shall not have failed to perfect or shall not have effectively
withdrawn or otherwise lost his rights to payment or appraisal under the
Virginia Corporation Law shall not be converted into the right to
receive the Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled to receive such
consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Article 15of the
Virginia Corporation Law.  If, however, such Dissenting Stockholder
effectively withdraws his demand for payment or fails to perfect or
otherwise loses his right to payment or appraisal, in any case pursuant
to the Virginia Corporation Law, his shares of Company Common Stock
shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective
Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without
interest, pursuant to Section 2.  The Company shall give Parent (i)
prompt notice of any demands for payment for shares of Company Common
Stock received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in
and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such
demands.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of
Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle
or otherwise negotiate, any such demands.

     Section 2.3  Cancellation and Retirement of Shares.  As of the
Effective Time, all shares (other than shares cancelled pursuant to
Section 2.1(a)) of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall no longer be outstanding
and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to
exist, and each holder of a certificate(s) representing any such shares
shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except (subject to
Section 2.2) the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance
with Section 2.1 and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent
Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon
surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.7.

     Section 2.4  Resolution of Unindemnified Common Stock Purchase
Agreement Loss Disputes.  If, immediately after the delivery to the
Company of the Parent's Notice of Merger Election, the Parent and the
Company have not agreed on the value of any applicable Unindemnified
Common Stock Purchase Agreement Loss, the Parent and the Company will,
as soon thereafter as possible, identify the amount of the Unindemnified
Common Stock Purchase Agreement Loss that has been claimed by the Parent
but not agreed by the Company (the "Disputed Amount").  The Parent and
the Company will, within twenty (20) days after the date of the delivery
to the Company of the Parent's Notice of Merger Election, submit to
binding arbitration the dispute concerning the Disputed Amount in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6.19 hereof.

     Section 2.5  Exchange Agent.  Prior to the mailing of the
Information Statement (as defined in Section 4.4), Parent shall appoint
a nationally recognized stock transfer agent designated by Parent and
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as exchange agent (the
"Exchange Agent") for payment of the Merger Consideration.

     Section 2.6  Stock Options and Warrants.  Prior to the mailing of
the Information Statement, the Board of Directors of Parent and the

surrendered for exchange is registered, it shall be a condition of such
exchange that the certificate(s) so surrendered shall be properly
endorsed, with signature guaranteed, or otherwise in proper form for
transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to
Parent or its transfer agent any transfer or other taxes required by
reason of the issuance of a certificate(s) for such shares of Parent
Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the
certificate(s) surrendered, or establish to the satisfaction of Parent
or its transfer agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.
Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.7(b), each
certificate for shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed at any
time after the Effective Time of the Merger to represent only the right
to receive upon such surrender the applicable Consideration for Company
Common Stock.  No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash
payable in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock.

          (c)  Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares.  No
dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common
Stock with a  record date after the Effective Time of the Merger shall
be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate(s) for shares of
Company Common Stock with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock
represented thereby and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares
shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.7(e) until the
surrender of such certificate(s) in accordance with this Article II.
Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any
such certificate(s), there shall be paid to the holder of the
certificate(s) representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued
in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such
surrender the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share
of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to
Section 2.7(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a
record date after the Effective Time of the Merger theretofore paid with
respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the
appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions
with a record date after the Effective Time of the Merger but prior to
such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable
with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

           (d)  No Further Ownership, Rights in Shares.  All shares of
Parent Common Stock issued and cash paid pursuant to Sections 2.1(c) and
2.7(e) upon the surrender for exchange of certificates representing
shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed
to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented
by such certificates.

          (e)  No Fractional Shares.

               (i)  No certificate or scrip representing fractional
shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for
exchange of any certificate(s) representing shares of Company Common
Stock, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner
thereof to vote or  to any rights of a stockholder of Parent; and

               (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged
pursuant to the Merger who would have otherwise been entitled to receive
a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall receive, in lieu
thereof, an amount in cash equal to the product of such fraction and the
VWAP.

          (f)  Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the
Consideration for Company Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.7 (the "Exchange Fund"), which remains
undistributed to the holders of the certificates representing shares of
Company Common Stock for six months after the Effective Time of the
Merger, shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of
shares of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with
this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and except as
set forth in Section 2.7(g), Parent shall remain liable for any cash
portion of the Merger Consideration, shares of Parent Common Stock, any
cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any
dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock
to which such holders may be entitled.

          (g)  No Liability.  None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or
the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any
shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with
respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar law.

          (h)  Investment of Exchange Fund.  The Exchange Agent shall
invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund in a deposit account with
any bank with assets exceeding one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000)
chartered under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, as
directed by Parent, on a daily basis.  Any interest and other income
resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

following the Closing;

               (iii) neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the
Company, any other party to the license, sublicense, agreement, or

the Company, any other party thereto or the creation thereunder of any
lien, encumbrance or security  interest in or upon the properties or

any insurance coverage for the Company or given any notice or other
indication of its intention to do so.

     4.15 Employee Benefit Plans. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not constitute a violation of, or give rise to
any liability under, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder ("ERISA") or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). Schedule 4.15 contains a complete and
correct list of all "employee benefit plans" as defined by Section 3(3)
of ERISA, all specified fringe benefit plans as defined in Section 6039D
of the Code, and all other bonus, incentive compensation, deferred
compensation, profit sharing, stock option, stock appreciation right,
stock bonus, stock purchase, employee stock ownership (including,
without limitation, the  Tiburon, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan),
savings, severance, change in control, supplemental unemployment,
layoff, salary continuation, retirement, pension, health, life
insurance, disability, accident, group insurance, vacation, holiday,
sick leave, fringe benefit or welfare plan, including any Section 125 or
so-called "cafeteria" plan, and any other employee compensation or
benefit plan, agreement, policy, practice, commitment, contract, or
understanding (whether qualified or nonqualified, currently effective or
terminated, written or unwritten), and any trust, escrow or other
agreement related thereto, that (i) is maintained or contributed to by
the Company or any other corporation or trade or business controlled by,
controlling, or under common control with the Company (within the
meaning of Section 414 of the Code or Section 4001(a)(14) or 4001(b) of
ERISA) (an "ERISA Affiliate") or has been maintained or contributed to
in the last six years by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or with
respect to which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate has or may have
any liability, and (ii) provides benefits, or describes policies or
procedures applicable to any current or former director, officer,
employee, or service provider of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or
the dependents of any thereof, regardless of how (or whether)
liabilities for the provision of benefits are accrued or assets are
acquired or dedicated with respect to the funding thereof (collectively
the "Employee Plans").  Schedule 4.15 identifies as such any Employee
Plan that is

           a "Defined Benefit Plan" (as defined in Section 414(l) of the
           Code),

           a plan intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of
           the Code,

           a "Multiemployer Plan" (as defined in Section 3(37) of
           ERISA), or

           a plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, other than a
           Multiemployer Plan.

     Also set forth in Schedule 4.15 is a complete and correct list of
all of the Company's ERISA Affiliates during the last six years.  Except
as set forth  on Schedule 4.15, no such plan, policy, practice,
agreement or arrangement has been previously maintained or contributed
to by the Company whose "date of termination" (within the meaning of
Section 4048 of ERISA) occurred after September 1, 1974.

     To the extent necessary or appropriate for the proper operation and
administration of each of the Employee Plans, the participant and
beneficiary records of each plan accurately state the employment history
of each participant and beneficiary in connection with such plan and
accurately state the data from which there may be calculated the
benefits earned by and owed to each such person under such plan.

     With respect to each of the Employee Plans, the Company has
delivered or has otherwise made available to Parent for inspection and
copying, a current, accurate and complete copy (or, to the extent no
such copy exists, an accurate description) thereof and to the extent
applicable of: (i) the plan; (ii) any related trust agreement or other
funding instrument; (iii) the most recent determination letter, if
applicable; (iv) any summary plan description and other written
communications (or a description of any oral communications) by the
Company or its ERISA Affiliates to their employees concerning the extent
of the benefits provided under the Employee Plans; and (v) for the three
most recent years (A) the Form 5500 and attached schedules, (B) audited
financial statements, (C) actuarial valuation reports and (D) attorney
disclosures of "loss contingencies" in response to an auditor's request
for information.

     Except as set forth in Schedule 4.15:

          (a)  None of the Employee Plans is a "multiemployer plan" as
that term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA or a "defined benefit
plan" as that term is defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA, no Employee
Plan provides retiree welfare benefits, and neither the Company nor its
ERISA Affiliates has any obligation to provide any retiree welfare
benefits except as required under Section 4980B of the Code or part 6
of Title I of ERISA.

          (b)  Neither any of the Employee Plans, nor any trust created
thereunder nor any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in a
transaction in connection with which any of the Employee Plans, any
such trust, or any trustee or administrator thereof, or any party
dealing with the Employee Plans or any such trust, could be subject
to either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA,
or a tax imposed by Section 4975 of the Code.

          (c)  Full payment has been made of all amounts which the
Company is required to pay under the terms of each of the Employee Plans
pursuant to applicable law and GAAP, consistently applied, as a
contribution to the Employee Plans as of the last day of the most recent
fiscal year of each of the Employee Plans ended prior to the date of
this Agreement and no accumulated funding deficiency or liquidity
shortfall (as those terms are defined in Section 302 of ERISA and
Section 412 of the Code) has been incurred with respect to any such
Employee Plan, whether or not waived. As to each of the Employee Plans
to which Section 4021(a) of the Code applies, the present value of the
assets of such plan equal or exceed the amount of all benefit
liabilities (determined on a plan termination basis using the actuarial
assumptions established by the PBGC as of the Closing Date) of such
Employee Plan.

          (d)  All reports, returns and disclosures relating to the
Employee Plans required to be filed or distributed to participants have
been timely filed or distributed in all material respects in compliance
with applicable law.

          (e)  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.15, other than claims
in the ordinary course for benefits under the Employee Plans, there is
no action, suit, claim or proceeding pending or to the knowledge of the
Company threatened, nor does there exist any basis therefor, which would
result in the imposition of any liability on any Employee Plan or on the
Company with respect to any such plan.

          (f)  Except as set forth  on Schedule 4.15, each of the
Employee Plans is intended to be and has been written to comply with all
applicable laws, including but not limited to the Code and ERISA and has
been interpreted, administered and operated in all material respects in
accordance with the written Employee Plan documents, the respective
summaries thereof provided to the employees of the Company and is in
operational compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws
and regulations.

          (g)  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.15, as to each of the
Employee Plans to which Section 401(a) of the Code applies; the plan is
"qualified" within the meaning of Section 401 of the Code, each related
trust is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, and an
application for a favorable determination letter for such plan as most
recently amended (a copy of which application is appended to Schedule
4.15 as an exhibit) has been made to the Internal Revenue Service.  To
the knowledge of the Company, there are no factors which would adversely
affect  the qualified status of any such Employee Plan.

          (h)  The Company has, at all times, complied, and currently
complies, in all material respects with the applicable continuation
requirements for its welfare benefit plans, including (1) Section 4980B
of the Code (as well as its predecessor provision, Section 162(k) of the
Code) and Sections 601 through 608, inclusive, of ERISA, which
provisions are hereinafter referred to collectively as "COBRA" and (2)
any applicable state statutes mandating health insurance continuation
coverage for employees.

          (i)  Except as set forth  on Schedule 4.15, the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby will not create or accelerate
any right to receive benefits or the payment thereof under any Employee
Plan.

          (j)  Except as required under this Agreement or as set forth
on Schedule 4.15, during the period from June 30, 2000 through the date
hereof, there has not been (a) any acceleration, amendment or change of
the period of exercisability or vesting of any Company Stock Options
under the Option Plan (including any discretionary acceleration of the
exercise periods or vesting by the Board of Directors or any committee
thereof or any other persons administering an Option Plan) or
authorization of cash payments in exchange for any Company Stock Options
under such Option Plan, (b) any adoption or material amendment by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries of any Employee Plans, except as
required by law, or (c) any adoption of, or amendment to, or change in
employee participation or coverage under, any Employee Plans which would
increase materially the expense of maintaining such Employee Plans above
the level of the expense incurred in respect thereof for the fiscal year
ended on June 30, 2000.  Except as expressly contemplated hereby, and
except as otherwise specified in employment agreements to which Merger
Sub is a party entered into in connection with the Merger and effective
at the Effective Time, neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) result in, or
cause the accelerated vesting or delivery of, or increase the amount or
value of, any payment or benefit to any employee of the Company.

Schedule 4.15, all plans, contracts, agreements, programs and policies,

agreements in effect on June 30, 2000; (e) all group insurance programs
in effect for employees of the Company; and (f) since June 30, 2000, any

Except as set forth  on Schedule 4.16, no employee of the Company has
been paid compensation in any form or other amounts in any form where
the payment has been discretionary and not pursuant to a binding legal
obligation of the Company. To the knowledge of the Company, no officer,

bound by any agreement that purports to limit the ability of such person
(i) to engage in or continue or perform any conduct, activity, duties or
practice relating to the business of the Company or (ii) to assign to
the Company or to any other person any rights to any invention,
improvement or discovery.

Balance Sheet or which have not been fully (on an actuarial basis, or
plan termination basis, where appropriate) provided for by insurance
contracts, premiums on which are currently paid in full, or by
contributions to one or more trusts established to fund the plan,
program, policy or practice in question.

     The qualifications of each employee of the Company for employment
under applicable immigration laws have been reviewed, a properly
completed Form I-9 is on file with respect to each such employee, and the
Company is in compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of
1986, as amended.

     4.17  Governmental and Other Approvals.  The Company's business has
been, and is being, conducted in compliance with all applicable laws,
ordinances, or other rules or regulations and all consents,
authorizations, licenses, permits, orders, certificates, registrations
or qualifications required under applicable law or regulation, federal,
state and local, necessary to the ownership of all of its assets and to
the operation of its business as presently conducted. ("Consent").  No
Consent by any federal, state or local government or any arbitral panel
or any court, tribunal, administrative or regulatory agency or
commission or other governmental authority, department, bureau,
commission or agency, domestic or foreign (a "Governmental Entity"), is
required by or with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Company or the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby, except as set forth on Schedule 4.17 and except for
(i) the filing of the documents referred to in Section 1.2 in accordance
with the Nevada Corporation Law and the Virginia Corporation Law and
similar documents with the relevant authorities of other states in which
the Company is qualified to do business, (ii) the filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of an information statement
relating to the appraisal rights of Dissenting Stockholders (as amended
or supplemented from time to time, the "Information  Statement") and
such reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), as may be required in connection with this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) such
other Consents of Governmental Entities that are not "federal" (within
the meaning of the following sentence) as to which the failure to obtain
or make could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  As used in this Agreement, unless the context otherwise
requires any reference to "federal" includes any federal or national
government or multi-national organization or body, and any reference to
"state" includes any state or provincial government.

     Each Consent is valid and in full force and effect.  To the
Company's knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that
may constitute or result directly or indirectly in a violation of any
term or requirement of any Consent or in the revocation, withdrawal,
suspension, cancellation or termination of, or modification to, any
Consent.  The Company has not received any notice or communication
regarding any violation or potential violation of any Consent or
regarding any actual or proposed revocation, withdrawal, suspension,
cancellation, termination of or modification to any Consent.  All
applications required to have been filed for the renewal of each Consent
have been duly filed in a timely basis.  The Company does not have any
expectation that, based upon the operations of the Company to date, any
customer, supplier or other person will not maintain its relationship
with the Company as previously maintained and conducted after
the date hereof and the Closing Date.

Excess") as reflected on the March 31, 2001 balance sheet have been
properly calculated in accordance with GAAP and in a manner that is
consistent with prior practices. To the Company's knowledge, (i) the
underlying assumptions related to the cost to complete projects under
contract as of such date are reasonable and (ii) any estimates related
to the cost to complete projects under contract as of such date have
been prepared in a manner to properly reflect the total costs to
complete all such projects taken in the aggregate.  Parent acknowledges
that material changes may occur in the estimates related to the cost to
complete projects under contract and that materially adverse changes in
such estimates have frequently occurred in connection with completed
projects.  All of the accounts receivable of the Company arose in the
ordinary course of business and represent accounts validly due for goods

part of those obligated thereon and are not subject to counterclaim or
set-off other than with respect to credits which arose in the ordinary

                                 ARTICLE V
            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB

     Except as set forth on the disclosure letter delivered by the
Parent and Merger Sub to the Company prior to the execution of this
Agreement (the "Parent Disclosure Letter"), Parent and Merger Sub
represent and warrant to the Company as of the date hereof as follows.
All references to schedules in this Article V are intended as references
to Schedules of the Parent Disclosure Letter:


     Section 5.1  Corporate Organization.  Each of Parent and Merger
Sub is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation.
Each of Parent and Merger Sub has full power and authority (corporate
and other) to own, operate and lease its respective properties and to
conduct its respective business in the manner in which and in the places
where such properties are owned, operated or leased and such business is
now conducted or proposed to be conducted.  Each of Parent and Merger
Sub is not in breach of any provision of either of its respective
articles of incorporation or by-laws, complete and accurate copies of
which are attached as Exhibit 5.1.  The minute books containing the
records of meetings of the shareholders, the board of directors and any
committees of the board of directors, the stock certificate books and
the stock record books of each of Parent and Merger Sub are correct and
complete.

     Each of Parent and Merger Sub is duly qualified, licensed and
authorized to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction listed on
Schedule 5.1, and there is no jurisdiction not so listed in which the
ownership of each of the Parent's or Merger Sub's properties or the
conduct of its respective business requires such qualification in which
the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the
Parent's or Merger Sub's business or results of operations.  Neither of
the Parent or Merger Sub has received any written notice within the last
three years from the Secretary of State or comparable official of any
jurisdiction to the effect that the Parent or Merger Sub is required to
be qualified or otherwise authorized to do business therein, in which
jurisdiction the Parent or Merger Sub has not qualified or obtained such
authorization.

     Section 5.2  Authority; Noncontravention.

          (a)  Parent and Merger Sub have all requisite corporate power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to the Parent
Stockholder Approval (as defined below) required in connection with
the consummation of the Merger, to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.  The Merger will (i) if Parent or
Company shareholders elect the issuance of sufficient shares of Parent
Common Stock as merger consideration such that the Parent will issue
shares of Parent Common Stock in number equal to or greater than twenty
percent (20%) of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time require the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Parent Common Stock, voting together as a single class (the "Parent
Stockholder Approval"), which is the only vote of the holders of any
class or series of the capital stock of the Parent necessary to approve
the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby,
and (ii) require the approval of the Parent, as the holder of all of the
outstanding Merger Sub capital stock (the "Merger Sub Stockholder
Approval"), which is the only approval of the holder of the capital
stock of Merger Sub necessary to approve the Merger, this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated thereby.  The Parent does not contemplate
seeking the Parent Stockholder Approval unless and until the Parent
elects to consummate the Merger and delivers to the Company the Parent's
Notice of Merger Election.

          (b)  The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Parent
and Merger Sub except for the Parent Stockholder Approval and the Merger
Sub Stockholder Approval.  This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming this Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company, constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable
against them in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors rights generally, and general equitable principles.

          (c)  Except as set forth in  Schedule 5.2 of the Parent
Disclosure Letter, the execution and delivery of this Agreement do not,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will not, conflict
with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice
or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any
obligation or to a loss of a material benefit under, or result in the
creation of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of Parent or
any of its subsidiaries under, (i) the certificate of incorporation or
bylaws of Parent or Merger Sub, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note,
bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or any other contract, agreement,
instrument, permit, concession, franchise or license applicable to
Parent or Merger Sub or their respective properties or assets, or (iii)
subject to the governmental filings and other matters referred to in
Section 5.2(d), any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance,
rule or regulation applicable to Parent, Merger Sub or any other
subsidiary of Parent or their respective properties or assets other
than, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii), any such conflicts,
violations, defaults, rights, losses or Liens that individually or in
the aggregate would not (x) have a Material Adverse Effect, (y) impair
in any material respect the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to perform
their respective obligations under this Agreement or (z) prevent or
materially delay consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

          (d)  No Consent of any Governmental Entity is required by or
with respect to Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
consummation by Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for (i) the filing
of the documents referred to in Section 1.2 hereof in accordance with
the Virginia Corporation Law and similar documents with the relevant
authorities of other states in which the Parent or Merger Sub is
qualified to do business, (ii) compliance with any applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and state
securities laws, including without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 in
compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC, and (iii) such other
Consents as to which the failure to obtain or make would not have a
Material Adverse  Effect.

     Section 5.3  SEC Documents; Financial Statements; No Undisclosed
Liabilities.

          (a)  Parent has filed, and made available to the Company true
and complete copies of, all  reports, schedules, forms, statements,
exhibits and other documents required to be filed with the SEC since
November 30, 2000 (the "Parent SEC Documents").  As of their respective
dates, the Parent SEC Documents complied in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case
may be, applicable to such Parent SEC Documents, and none of the Parent
SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  No event has
occurred since the filing of the most recent Parent SEC Document which
would have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent or as the result of which
the Parent will be required to file a report with the SEC.

          (b)  The financial statements of Parent included in the Parent
SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC
applicable to the Parent with respect thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be
indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated
financial position of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the
dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash
flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

obligated to make any payments and will not be so obligated by reason of
the transactions contemplated hereby, and is not a party to any
agreement that under certain circumstances could obligate it to make
any payments, that will not be deductible under Section 280G of the

Prior to or promptly following  the date of such Notice of Merger
Election, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC the Form S-4, in
which the Information Statement will be included as a prospectus.  Each

jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken
under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the
issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger.

     Section 7.2  Reasonable Efforts; Notification.

          (a)  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 6.1(d) and 6.2,

delivered to the Company the Parent's Notice of Merger Election, each of
the parties agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to
assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things
necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the
most expeditious manner practicable the Merger and the other

commercial efforts (i) to obtain all other necessary waivers, consents
and approvals from Governmental Entities and to make all other necessary
registrations and filings (including other filings with Governmental
Entities, if any), (ii) to obtain all necessary consents, approvals or
waivers from third parties, (iii) to prepare the Form S-4 and the

or the Company shall be required to waive any of the conditions to the
Merger set forth in Article VIII; and (iii) none of the Parent, Merger
Sub or the Company shall  be required to take any action that would
cause a condition to the Merger in Article VIII to fail to be satisfied.

one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will consult with each
other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review
and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with

the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such
public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required
by applicable law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any
listing agreement with the Nasdaq National Market.  The parties agree

Merger, other than the shares to be issued to shareholders of the

the Securities Act but who are "Major Shareholders" who executed the
Stockholders Agreement, to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ
National Market, subject to notice of issuance.

     Section 7.6  Takeover Statutes.  If any "fair price", "moratorium",
"control share acquisition" or other form of antitakeover statute or
regulation shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated
hereby, the Company and the members of the Board of Directors of the
Company shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are
reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be
consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby
and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute
or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.

     Section 7.7  Tax Consequences.  The parties intend that the Merger
shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of
the Code.  The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a "plan of
reorganization" within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a)
of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The parties shall not take
a position on any tax return inconsistent with this Section 7.7.  Each
of the parties agrees not to take any action either prior to or after
the Effective Time that would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a
"reorganization" under Section 368(a) of the Code.

Parent's Form 10-K for the period which includes the date of this
Agreement.

     Section 10.4  Indemnification

          (a)  The Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
recipient of (i) Consideration for Company Common Stock, and (ii) the
right to receive Consideration for Company Common Stock (an
"indemnified party"), from and against any and all loss, costs, damages
and expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees and expenses)
which such recipient may sustain resulting from, arising out of,
relating to or caused by (i) any breach by the Parent of any covenant or
other agreement of the Company contained herein and to be performed on
or before the Closing, or (ii) any breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Company herein or in any certificate delivered
pursuant to this Agreement.

     No indemnified party shall be deemed to waive any claim for
indemnification hereunder by reason of its knowledge or reason to know,
prior to the occurrence of the Closing, of any such non-compliance,
non-performance, inaccuracy or breach.

          (b)  If an indemnified party under this Section 10.4 receives
notice of the assertion by a person who is not a party to this Agreement
of any claim or of the commencement by any such person of any action or
proceeding which may give rise to an obligation of the Parent to
indemnify such indemnified party (a "Third Party Claim"), such
indemnified party shall give the Parent reasonably prompt written notice
thereof but in any event not later than 60 days after becoming aware of
such Third Party Claim; provided, that a notice of a Third Party Claim
may be given jointly by multiple indemnified parties, and only one
notice to Parent shall be required with respect to any single Third
Party Claim.  Such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in
reasonable detail, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if
practicable, of the indemnifiable loss that has been or may be sustained
by such indemnified party or parties.  The Parent may elect to assume
the defense of any Third Party Claim, at the Parent's own expense
and by the Parent's own counsel and such indemnified party shall
cooperate in good faith in such defense and the Parent shall fully
inform and consult with such indemnified party.  If the Parent
has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party
shall agree to any settlement of such Third Party Claim recommended by
the Parent which settlement by its terms discharges the indemnified
party from any liability with respect to such Third Party Claim.

     Section 10.5  Amendments; No Waivers.

          (a)  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived
prior to the Effective Time if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is
in writing and signed, by the party to be charged therewith; provided,
that, after the approval of the matters presented in connection with the
Merger by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment or waiver shall
be made without stockholder approval.

          (b)  No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall
any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

     Section 10.6  Successors and Assigns; Parties in Interest.  The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the
benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns, provided that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the consent of the other parties hereto except that Merger Sub may
transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or
more of Parent or any  wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, any or all of
its rights or obligations, but any such transfer or assignment will not
relieve Merger Sub of its obligations under this Agreement.  Except as
set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied,
is intended to or shall confer upon any person not a party hereto any
right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of
this Agreement, including to confer third party beneficiary rights.

OF THIS AGREEMENT WERE NOT PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR SPECIFIC
