          2.2 Deliveries at the Closing. At the Closing, (i) Sellers shall
deliver to Buyer or one or more of its designees such deeds, bills of sale,
endorsements, Consents, assignments and other good and sufficient instruments of
conveyance and assignment as Buyer shall deem reasonably necessary to vest in
Buyer or one or more of their designees all right, title and interest in, to and
under the Purchased Assets in the manner described herein free and clear of all
Liens and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer including,
without limitation, the various certificates, instruments, and documents
referred to in Article 4 below, (ii) Buyer shall deliver to Sellers the various
certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Article 5 below, and
(iii) Buyer will deliver to the Company the consideration specified in Section
2.3 below by delivery of cash payable by wire transfer or delivery of other
immediately available funds.

          2.3 Purchase Price and Purchase Price Adjustment.

          (a) The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the
"Purchase Price") shall be equal to the sum of (i) $40,000,000, less (ii) an
amount equal to the Estimated Net Book Value Adjustment, less (iii) the Contract
Adjustment Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, "Estimated Net Book Value
Adjustment" shall be equal to an amount equal to the Target Net Book Value (as
defined below), less the Estimated Net Book Value.

          (b) Not more than five (5) Business Days, but at least one (1)
Business Day, prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall in good faith cause to be
prepared a balance sheet of the Business as of the Closing Date, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (the "Closing Date Balance Sheet"),
which shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Latest Balance Sheet and
shall include a statement of the amount of Net Book Value which it estimates
will exist as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the
Closing Date determined for accounting and tax purposes as if such date were the
end of the fiscal year together with a representation that such amount was
determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with past
practice and with those used in preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet (the
"Estimated Net Book Value"). Not more than five (5) but at least one (1)
Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers the final
calculation of the Contract Adjustment Amount which shall be binding on the
parties hereto.

          (c) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 90 days following
the last day of the month in which the Closing Date falls, Sellers will cause to
be prepared and delivered to Buyer a certificate setting forth Sellers'
calculation of each component of Closing Net Book Value. "Closing Net Book
Value" means the Net Book Value of the Business as of the close of business on
the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and will be prepared in
accordance with GAAP on a basis consistent with those used in preparation of the
Closing Date Balance Sheet. Sellers will make available to Buyer and its
accountant all records and work papers held by them and used in preparing the
calculation of Closing Net Book Value.

          (d) If Buyer disagrees with Sellers' calculation of Closing Net Book
Value delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(c), Buyer may, within 120 days following
the last day of the month in which the Closing falls or thirty (30) days after
Sellers have delivered the certificate set forth in Section 2.3(c), whichever is
later (the "Objection Period") deliver a written notice (the "Objection Notice")
to Sellers disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth Buyer's
calculation of such amount. Any such Objection Notice shall specify those items
or amounts as to which Buyer disagrees, and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed
with all other items and amounts contained in Sellers' calculation of Closing
Net Book Value delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(c). If Buyer does not deliver
an Objection Notice within the Objection Period, then the amount of Closing Net
Book Value shall be deemed to be finally determined as set forth on Sellers'
calculation thereof.


                                        6

<PAGE>

          (e) If an Objection Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(d),
Sellers and Buyer shall, during the 15 days following such delivery, use their
reasonable commercial efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or
amounts in order to determine the amount of Closing Net Book Value, which
amount, so determined, shall not be more than the amount thereof shown in
Sellers' calculations delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(c), nor less than the
amount thereof shown in Buyer's calculation delivered pursuant to Section
2.3(d). If, during such period, Sellers and Buyer are unable to reach such
agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause Grant Thornton LLP or another
independent accounting firm of nationally recognized standing reasonably
satisfactory to Sellers and Buyer (who shall not have any material relationship
with the Company, any Seller or Buyer) promptly to review this Agreement and the
disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Net Book Value.
In making such calculation, such independent accountants shall recalculate only
those items or amounts in the Closing Date Balance Sheet or Sellers' calculation
of Closing Net Book Value as to which the Parties have disagreed. The
independent accountant's determination will be based solely on presentations by
Sellers and Buyer and such independent accountants shall deliver to Sellers and
Buyer as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after
such independent accountants are retained (such date, the "Final Resolution
Date"), a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and
binding upon Sellers and Buyer. The cost of such review and report shall be
borne by Sellers if the difference between Final Net Book Value (as defined in
Section 2.4 below) and Sellers' calculation of Closing Net Book Value delivered
pursuant to Section 2.3(c) is greater than the difference between Final Net Book
Value and Buyer's calculation of Closing Net Book Value delivered pursuant to
Section 2.3(d), and otherwise by Buyer.

          2.4 The Post-Closing Adjustment Payments.

          (a) Buyer and Sellers agree that they will, and agree to cause their
respective independent accountants to cooperate and assist in the preparation of
the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Net Book Value and
in the conduct of the reviews referred to in Section 2.3 including without
limitation, the making available to the extent reasonably necessary of books,
written and electronic records, work papers and personnel.

          (b) If the Final Net Book Value is less than Estimated Net Book Value,
Sellers shall, within 5 days after the Final Resolution Date, deliver to Buyer a
cashier's or certified check, or wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account designated by Buyer, in an aggregate amount by which the Final Net
Book Value is less than Estimated Net Book Value.

          (c) "Final Net Book Value" means Closing Net Book Value as shown in
Sellers' calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(c), if no Objection
Notice with respect thereto is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(d); or, if
an Objection Notice is delivered, as agreed by Buyer and Sellers pursuant to
Section 2.3(e) or in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the independent
accountants' calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(e); provided that, in
no event shall Final Net Book Value be less than Buyer's calculation of Closing
Net Book Value delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(c), or more than Sellers'
calculation of Closing Net Book Value delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(d).

          (d) Any post-closing adjustment payments made under this Section 2.4
shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all tax purposes.

          2.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, the Assumed
Liabilities and other relevant items shall be allocated among the Purchase
Assets in accordance with their fair market values as determined by Buyer and
reasonably acceptable to the Company. Buyer shall deliver a schedule setting
forth the fair market value of the assets and such allocation within 120 days
after the Closing Date.


                                        7

<PAGE>

Buyer and Sellers shall file any Tax Returns and any other governmental filings
on a basis consistent with such allocation of fair market value and in
accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. Buyer and Sellers shall exchange
drafts of any information returns required by Section 1060 of the Code, and any
similar state statute that is applicable, at least 30 days prior to filing such
returns and shall discuss in good faith any modification suggested by the
receiving party. The Parties agree to file their Tax returns in accordance with
such allocation.

          2.6 Nonassignability of Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, to the extent that the assignment hereunder by Sellers to Buyer
of any Assumed Contract is not permitted or is not permitted without the consent
of any other party to such Assumed Contract, this Agreement shall not be deemed
to constitute an assignment of any such Assumed Contract if such consent is not
given or if such assignment otherwise would constitute a breach of, or cause a
loss of contractual benefits under, any such Assumed Contract, and Buyer shall
assume no obligations or liabilities under any such Assumed Contract. Sellers
shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to obtain all consents (including,
without limitation, the Consents) and waivers necessary for the sale, transfer,
assignment and delivery of the Purchased Assets (including the Assumed
Contracts) to Buyer hereunder. Sellers shall advise Buyer in writing at least
five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing with respect to any Assumed Contract
which either Seller knows or has substantial reason to believe will or may not
be subject to assignment to Buyer hereunder at the Closing. Without in any way
limiting Sellers' obligation hereunder, if any such consent is not obtained or
if such assignment is not permitted irrespective of consent and if the Closing
shall occur, Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer following the Closing Date in
any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the rights and
benefits (subject to the obligations) under any such Assumed Contract (other
than with respect to any Unassumed Customer Contract), including enforcement for
the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of either Seller against any other
party arising out of any breach or cancellation of any such Assumed Contract by
such other party and, if requested by Buyer, acting as an agent on behalf of
Buyer or as Buyer shall otherwise reasonably require.

binding, enforceable and in full force and effect; (ii) neither Sellers nor, to

applicable Legal Requirements in any material respect (without any fines or
monetary Liabilities attached); (ii) all buildings, structures and other
improvements located on such property, including all material components
thereof, are, to Sellers' knowledge, structurally sound, in good operating
condition and repair, subject only to the provision of usual and customary

Assets; (iii) except for the Leases, there are, to the Sellers' knowledge, no

Requirements. Seller, with respect to the Business has not treated, stored,

substance or petroleum so as would give rise to Liability under Environmental

give rise to any material Liability (including any corrective or remedial
obligation) under any Environmental and Safety Requirements.

          (c) Buyer shall file or cause to be filed all Tax returns that are
required to be filed, and pay or cause to be paid, all Taxes that are required
to be paid by or with respect to the Purchased Assets for any Tax period ending
after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(c) shall
in no way limit the Buyer's right to recover under Section 9.2(a)(v) any amounts
relating to any Excluded Liability.

          (d) Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent
reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax
Returns pursuant to this Section 8.3 and any audit, litigation, or other
proceeding 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, litigation, or other
proceeding, and making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient
basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided
hereunder.

          (e) Sellers and Buyer agree for all Tax purposes to treat and report
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and to file all tax returns in a
manner consistent with this Agreement.

          8.4 Further Transfers. Sellers shall execute and deliver such further
instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as Buyer
may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer
to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and any other transactions contemplated hereby.

          8.5 Confidentiality; Non-Compete: Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement.

          (a) Each Seller hereby acknowledges that such Seller is familiar with
the Business' trade secrets and that has had access to and contributed to
information and materials of a highly sensitive nature (including Confidential
Information, as defined below) of the Business. Each Seller agrees it shall not
use for itself or anyone else, and shall not disclose to others, any
Confidential Information, except to the extent such use or disclosure is
required by law or order of any governmental authority (in which event such
Seller shall, to the extent practicable, inform Buyer in advance of any such
required disclosure, shall cooperate with Buyer in all reasonable ways in
obtaining a protective order or other protection in respect of such required
disclosure, and shall limit such disclosure to the extent reasonably possible
while still complying with such requirements). Each Seller shall use, and shall
cause its Affiliates and its and their respective employees, officers, directors
and representatives to use, reasonable care to safeguard Confidential
Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and
theft.

          (b) Each Seller further agrees that, at any time requested, such
Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer all Confidential Information and other
Intellectual Property of the Buyer and/or its Affiliates in such Seller's
possession and control and all copies thereof, in whatever form or medium,
including, without limitation, written records, optical and magnetic media, and
all other materials containing or embodying any such Intellectual Property. If
Buyer requests, each Seller shall promptly provide written confirmation that it
has returned all such materials.

          (c) In consideration of the mutual covenants provided for herein to
the Sellers at the Closing, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and
ending on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Noncompete
Period"), each Seller shall not and shall cause each of its Affiliates (and its
and their respective employees, officers and directors) to not, directly or
indirectly, either for itself or for any other Person, partnership, corporation
or company, own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services
for, permit its name to be used or in any other manner engage in any business or
enterprise for purposes of, or in a manner which, competes, or plans to compete,
with the Business. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "participate"
includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise, whether as an
officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent, representative,


                                       37

<PAGE>

independent contractor, Sellers, franchisor, franchisee, creditor, or owner;
provided that the foregoing activities shall not include passive ownership of
less than 5% of the stock of a publicly-held corporation whose stock is traded
on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Each Seller
agrees that this covenant is reasonable with respect to its duration,
geographical area and scope.

          (d) During the Noncompete Period, each Seller shall not (and shall
cause its Affiliates to not) directly or indirectly through another entity (i)
induce or attempt to induce any officer, director, employee, consultant, or
independent contractor of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the
Rehired Employees) to leave the employ of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates,
(ii) hire or employ any person who was an officer, director, employee,
consultant, or independent contractor of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates at
any time during the six month period immediately prior to the date hereof, or
(iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or
other business relation of the Business and/or the Buyer or any of its
Affiliates to cease doing business with the Business and/or the Buyer or any of
its Affiliates.

          (e) If, at the time of enforcement of this Agreement, a court or
arbitrator's award holds that the restrictions stated in this Section 8.5 are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties hereto agree that
the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such
circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. The
Parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any
breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach of any provisions of this Section 8.5 that is continuing, Buyer, its
successors and assigns and any third party beneficiary to this Agreement may, in
addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or
other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions
hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of
a breach of violation by any Seller of this Section 8.5, the Noncompete Period
shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured. Sellers
agree that the restrictions contained in this Section 8.5 are reasonable.

          (f) Each Seller acknowledges and represents that: (i) sufficient
consideration has been given by each party to this Agreement to the other as it
relates hereto; (ii) it has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding
its rights and obligations under this Section 8.5, (iii) that the agreements in
this Section 8.5 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Buyer and
its Affiliates and are an essential inducement to Buyer to enter into this
Agreement and (iv) that that the agreements in this Section 8.5 are in addition
to, rather than in lieu of, any similar or related covenants to which such
Seller is party or by which he is bound.

          (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that Sellers'
engagement and current conduct of the PDA Business is not in violation of the
provisions of Sections 8.5(c), (d) or (f) of this Agreement.

          8.6 Confidentiality of Terms of Transaction, Etc. The Parties will
keep confidential the terms and status of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and will keep confidential the identity of the other Party;
provided, however, that each of the Parties shall have the right to communicate
and discuss with, and provide to, its legal advisors, representatives, officers
or employees, directors, consultants and agents, any information regarding the
terms and status of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
and, provided further, (i) that the Parties shall also have the right to (x)
communicate and discuss with, and provide to, their lenders, and such lenders'
legal advisors, representatives, officers or employees, directors, consultants
and agents such information, (y) to communicate with each other's employees,
customers, suppliers, officers, directors and other business associates
concerning the Business and (z) to make such disclosures as are necessary or
desirable under any Legal Requirement (including any filing obligation with the
Security Exchange Commission)


                                       38

<PAGE>

regarding the terms of this Agreement and transaction contemplated hereby after
the Closing Date, and (ii) that Buyer (and only Buyer) shall also have the right
to make such disclosures as it desires to any Person regarding any information
related to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the transaction
contemplated hereby and thereby, the Business and the Purchased Assets after the
Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents, Buyer shall have the right to disclose at any time
summary information about the Business' financial condition and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents as part of Buyer's
(or Buyer's legal advisors, representatives, Affiliates, partners, officers or
employees, directors, consultants and agents) normal fundraising, marketing,
informational and reporting activities.

          8.7 Litigation Support. In the event that, and for so long as, any
Party is actively contesting or defending against any charge, audit, complaint,
action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, claim, or demand in connection
with (i) any transaction contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents or
(ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice,
plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or
prior to the Closing Date involving the Business, the Purchased Assets and/or
the Assumed Liabilities, each of the other Parties will reasonably cooperate
with such contesting or defending Party and its counsel in the contest or
defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access
to their books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with
the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or
defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to
indemnification therefor under the provisions of this Agreement).

          8.8 Transition Services.

          (a) Sellers will not in any manner take any action, and shall cause
their Affiliates not to take any action, which is designed, intended or might
reasonably be anticipated to have the effect of discouraging customers,
suppliers, vendors, Employees (other than as contemplated hereby), service
providers, lessors, licensors and other business associates from maintaining the
same business relationships with the Business after the date of this Agreement.

          (b) Buyer and Sellers hereby agree to negotiate the contents of
Exhibit B attached to the Transition Services Agreement (including services to
be provided, time and cost) in good faith.

          8.9 Exclusivity. Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Employees,
shareholders, representatives, agents, lenders and Affiliates not to, directly
or indirectly, discuss, pursue or otherwise enter into any agreements or other
arrangements regarding, a possible sale or other disposition (whether by sale,
merger, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of all or any part of the
Purchased Assets and/or the Business with any other Person (an "Acquisition
Proposal") or provide any information to any third party other than information
which is traditionally provided in the regular course of Sellers' business
operations to third parties where Sellers and their officers, directors and
Affiliates have no reason to believe that such information may be utilized to
evaluate any such possible sale or other disposition of the Purchased Assets
and/or the Business. Sellers shall, and shall cause their Employees and
Affiliates to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all
contacts, discussions and negotiations with third parties regarding the
foregoing and (ii) promptly notify Buyer if any Acquisition Proposal, or any
inquiry or contact with any Person with respect thereto which has been made as
of the date hereof or, is subsequently made and the details of such contact
(including the identity of the third party or third parties and the specific
term discussed or proposed).

          8.10 Schedule Update. After the date hereof and prior to the Closing,
Sellers may jointly deliver a written officer's certificate to Buyer, which
certificate shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, that discloses
additional exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in


                                       39

<PAGE>

Article 6 hereof (each, a "Schedule Update"); provided that (i) such exceptions
shall only be considered a Schedule Update hereunder if such exceptions did not
need to be disclosed to make the representations and warranties true and correct
as of the date hereof, (ii) such exceptions are caused by events which occurred
following the date hereof, and (iii) such exceptions are delivered promptly
following such time as Sellers have knowledge thereof. No later than five (5)
days prior to the Closing, Sellers shall provide to Buyer written notice of the
information they expect (as of the date of such notice) to appear on any
Schedule Update. Subject to compliance with the conditions set forth in clauses
(i), (ii), and (iii) above, each Schedule Update delivered to Buyer shall be
deemed to modify the representations and warranties made herein by Sellers as of
the Closing Date for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions to
Closing set forth in Article 4 have been satisfied so long as any change, event,
circumstance, occurrence, fact or effect, or development in any such Schedule
Update has not had or could not reasonably be expected to have, alone or in the
aggregate with any other change, event, circumstance, occurrence, fact or
effect, or development, a Significant Impact; provided that each Seller
acknowledges and agrees that no Schedule Update shall be deemed to modify the
representations and warranties herein made by any Seller as of the date hereof
or for purposes of determining any claims for indemnification pursuant to
Section 9.2(a).

          8.11 Employees.

          (a) Sellers have provided Buyer with a true, correct and complete list
of all of the Employees and contractors engaged primarily in the Business as of
February 24, 2006 and shall provide such a list five days (and as of five days)
prior to the Closing Date, in each case indicating the most recent rate of pay
of each such Employee and contractors during the twelve (12) months preceding
the date hereof, the date of employment and title or job position of each such
Employee and contractor, and the status of each such Employee and contractor as

the Company Schedule 8.11(b), which shall list the active Employees used in the
Business as of five days prior to the Closing Date to whom Buyer (or its
designee) intends to offer employment. Any such Employee who accepts Buyer's
offer of employment shall be referred to herein as a "Rehired Employee". Nothing
in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to continue to employ any Rehired
Employee for any period of time or limit the ability of Buyer to modify any
wage, salary or benefit to any Rehired Employee or terminate the employment of
any Rehired Employee at any time following the Severance Date for any reason,
including without cause. For purposes of this Section 8.11(b), the term "active
Employees" shall include all full-time and part-time employees, employees on
military leave, maternity leave, short-term disability and leave under the
Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. Any Employee who is on short term
disability or on a leave of absence of the type described above shall remain the
liability of Sellers and shall continue to receive benefits to the extent
provided under Sellers' employee benefit plans until such time as the Employee
actively returns to work with Buyer.

          (c) Sellers will be responsible for and shall pay to the Employees (i)
all amounts of wages, bonuses and other remuneration (including, without
limitation, discretionary benefits, incentive compensation and bonuses) payable
to (or accrued for) such Employees with respect to work performed prior to the

Sellers on the date such payments are made to Sellers' other employees, (ii) any
workers' compensation claims, amounts payable under any employee benefit plans,
programs or arrangements maintained by Sellers and other amounts payable on an
ongoing basis to such Employees in connection with events or incidents occurring
prior to the Severance Date, except to the extent that such amounts are paid
under insurance, a trust, contract or fund (iii) amounts equal to the vacation
pay, sick leave pay and floating holiday pay earned or accrued by such Employees
as of the close of business on the Severance Date, whether or not such pay is
vested or has been accrued on the books of Sellers at such close of business,
based upon the remuneration


                                       40

<PAGE>

of such Employees, normally used in computing such vacation pay, sick leave pay
and floating holiday pay, and (iv) all retention, change-of-control, severance
payments or deferred compensation account balances, including, without,
limitation, seniority premiums and unpaid holidays, if any, due to such
Employees as a result of the termination of their employment with Sellers.
Sellers shall also be responsible for and shall pay any related payroll burden
(including, without limitation, FICA, IMSS and other employment taxes) with
respect to payments made under this Section 8.11(c).

          (d) Buyer shall be solely responsible for all wages, bonuses and other

(without regard to any year-end employment requirements) with respect to the
Rehired Employees' contributions to the Covansys 401(k) Retirement Plan (the
"Sellers Savings Plan"), (ii) prior to or on the Severance Date, amend the
Sellers Savings Plan to fully vest the employer contribution accounts of all
Rehired Employees and (iii) prior to or on the Severance Date, amend the Sellers
Savings Plan to permit Rehired Employees to make plan loan repayments directly
to Sellers Savings Plan or the recordkeeper of Sellers Savings Plan under
procedures agreed to by the recordkeeper of Sellers Savings Plan. Other than the
requirement that loan repayments be made by automatic payroll reduction
regardless of whether the participant has terminated employment with any Seller,
such plan loans will remain subject to the terms of Sellers Savings Plan,
Sellers Savings Plan loan procedure and applicable law.

          (f) Sellers shall become and remain solely responsible and liable for
(i) satisfying the continuation coverage requirements for group health plans
under Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code
("COBRA") for all former Employees (and their respective beneficiaries and
dependents) who are receiving COBRA continuation coverage as of the Severance
Date and for all former Employees and Employees (and their respective
beneficiaries and dependents) who are entitled to elect such coverage on account
of a qualifying event occurring on or before the Severance Date.

          (g) If the vesting date of the Company stock options, which become
fully vested in July 2006 (the "July Options") and which are held by Rehired
Employees, occurs after the Closing Date, the Company shall protect the economic
value of the July Options, by taking one of the following actions:

               (i) the Company shall accelerate the vesting of the July Options
     held by Rehired Employees to the date immediately prior to the Closing Date
     and permit such July Options to be exercised after the Closing Date in
     accordance with the Company's Stock Option Plan and the terms and
     conditions of the applicable Stock Option Agreement; or

               (ii) on or promptly after the Closing Date, the Company shall pay
     each Rehired Employee who holds July Options an amount equal to, (a) the
     positive difference between (1) the closing price of the Company's stock on
     the NASDAQ NMS on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date
     and (2) the exercise price of such Rehired Employee's July Options,
     multiplied by (b) the number of shares of the Company's stock subject to
     such Rehired Employee's July Options; or


                                       41

<PAGE>

               (iii) the Sellers may continue the employment of up to 15 of the
     Employees listed on Schedule 8.11(b) to the end of the first pay period in
     July 2006 for such Employees; provided that the services of such Employees
     shall be provided to Buyer under the Transition Services Agreement at
     Sellers' cost.

          (h) Buyer and Sellers agree that the payroll tax reporting obligations
of the Rehired Employees shall be treated in accordance with the Alternate
Procedure of Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53.

          (i) Nothing in this Section 8.11, express or implied, shall create a
third party beneficiary relationship or otherwise confer any benefit,
entitlement, or right upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto.

          8.12 Immigration.

          (a) In addition to any other rights set forth in Section 3.1 or
otherwise herein, from the date hereof and through the final expiration of the
Transition Services Agreement, Sellers shall, and shall cause their officers,
directors, employees and attorneys and other personnel, to assist and cooperate
with Buyer and its Affiliates, and its and their employees, agents and legal
representatives, with any immigration process, registration, filing,
continuation, extension or other procedure necessary or desirable to comply with
any Legal Requirements so that each Rehired Employee who is a foreign national
(including those employees listed in Schedule 1.3(b) (collectively, the "Foreign
Employees")) is either in valid non-immigrant status entitling such employee to
work for Sellers, or the Sellers' successor-in-interest for immigration
purposes, (whether in the H1-B, L-1A or L-1B status), or has a valid Employment
Authorization Document (EAD) entitling such Foreign Employee to work for Sellers
or for a subsequent employer as a new hire by virtue of a filed application for
adjustment of status pending for more than 180 days, and that all of their
dependents can remain legally in the United States on the Closing Date in
accordance with any and all Legal Requirements.

          (b) As soon as possible on or after April 1, 2006, Sellers shall, and
shall cause their officers, directors, employees and attorneys and other
personnel, to file an H1-B petitions and change of status applications for the
individuals listed on Schedule 8.12(b) (the "L-1 Employees"). Sellers hereby
agree that from the Closing Date through the date that amended H1-B petitions
can be and have been filed by Buyer for the L-1 Employees (no sooner than
October 2, 2006 and no later than October 5, 2006), such L-1 Employees shall
remain in the Company's employ, and under the supervision of the Company to
provide transitional services to Buyer. Provision of such services shall not be
an arrangement to provide labor for hire, but rather shall be a placement in
connection with the provision of a service for which specialized knowledge
specific to the Company employer is necessary to complete the sale of the
Business. Throughout this transitional period, the L-1 employees shall be paid
from the Company's payroll and shall continue to be eligible to participate in
all of the Company's employee plans in which such employees were eligible to
participate prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement. Buyer agrees to reimburse Sellers for all out-of-pocket filing fees
required in connection with the change of status of all L-1 Employees to H-1B
and any filing fees associated with filing for their dependents.

          (c) Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that they have filed or are
in the process of filing any necessary extensions with respect to any Foreign
Employee and his or her dependents whose non-immigration status or employment
authorization documents will expire between the date hereof and ninety (90) days
after the Closing Date, except in the case of all L-1 Employees, which must have
their L-1 status extended until at least October 1, 2006.


                                       42
<PAGE>

          (d) As soon as possible after the day hereof, Sellers shall advise all
Foreign Employees of the prospective Closing and provide specific information to
all Foreign Employees regarding the implications of travel outside the U.S. to
prevent inadvertent delays overseas in the case of visa expiration or Advance
Parole expiration prior to the Closing and/or prior to direct employment with
Buyer in the case of the L-1 Employees.

          (e) Immediately after the date hereof, and, in the case of the L-1
Employees, until such employees begin employment directly with Buyer, Sellers
will take all steps necessary to protect to the fullest extent possible, the
priority date and all processes associated with permanent residency applications
(in which ever stage) filed on behalf of all Foreign Employees and their
dependents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers shall, and
shall cause their officers, directors, employees and attorneys and other
personnel, to: (i) provide copies of all immigration files of the Foreign
Employees and their dependents retained by the Company or its Affiliates; (ii)
assist in obtaining all documentation from each such Foreign Employee (and their
dependents) necessary to make any filing on behalf of such Foreign Employee (and
their dependents); (iii) provide financial documentation of the Company's
ability to pay the wage offered in the labor certification application of such
Foreign Employees at the time the labor certification was filed; (iv) abstain
from revoking or withdrawing any pending or approved labor certification
application or I-140 petitions obtained by the Company or its Affiliates on
behalf of any of the Foreign Employees (and their dependents); (v) protect the
permanent immigration cases and non-immigrant cases of each Foreign Employee
(and their dependents), including, without limitation, any labor certification
application, any I-140 petitions and any applications for adjustment of status;
(vi) in the case of any pending labor certification, Sellers shall provide
affirmative responses on the 45-day letter; (vii) provide copies to Buyer of all
correspondence pertaining to all Foreign Employees both to and from Company;
(viii) provide original approvals received after Closing of labor certifications
or other approvals pertaining to such Foreign Employees and L-1 Employees (and
their dependents); and (ix) take any and all other steps to preserve permanent
residence processing and enable Buyer to file documentation as a
successor-in-interest for immigration purposes. Any out-of-pocket third party
expenses incurred by Sellers in order to satisfy their obligations under this
Section 8.12 shall be reimbursed by Buyer.

          8.13 Bonds and Letters of Credit.

          (a) Each Seller agrees that it will (i) cause each Bond and Letter of
Credit (whether issued or required to be issued as of the Closing Date) to be
issued or remain outstanding in accordance with its terms until the expiration
date of such Bond and/or Letter of Credit and (ii) extend, renew, apply for a
continuation certificate, and maintain outstanding the Bonds and/or Letters of
Credit set forth on Schedule 8.13 (or required to be issued prior to the Closing
Date) through the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date (or such earlier
time as Buyer agrees it is no longer required) if such renewals, extensions and
continuations are available in the marketplace; provided that Sellers shall not
be required to pay any out-of-pocket amounts to maintain such Bonds and/or
Letters of Credit which are not commercially reasonable unless Buyer consents
and agrees to reimburse Sellers for such amounts. Buyer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain performance bonds for projects identified on the
Project Pipeline report 2006 included in Schedule 6.28. Following the Closing,
Buyer hereby agrees to promptly reimburse, and to indemnify and hold harmless
each Seller with respect of, the actual out-of-pocket cost to such Seller of
maintaining outstanding such Bonds and/or Letters of Credit (so long as Buyer
has consented to any of such costs as are not commercially reasonable), as well
as for any actual out-of-pocket damages such Seller incurs under any Bond and/or
Letter of Credit solely for matters arising after the date hereof, as, in each
case, mutually agreed by the parties or as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final non-appealable judgment. For the avoidance of doubt, any
bond and/or letter of credit issued or required to be issued between the date
hereof and the Closing shall be a "Bond" and/or a "Letter of Credit", as the
case may be.


                                       43

          (b) To secure the obligations of Buyer under Section 8.13(a) and
effective as of the Closing, Buyer hereby grants to the Company a first priority
security interest in all accounts receivable (as defined in the Uniform
Commercial Code) of the Business conducted by Buyer.

          (c) Buyer Parent hereby agrees to guarantee the obligations of Buyer
under Section 8.13(a) up to the aggregate face amount of the Bonds and/or
Letters of Credit outstanding at such time by execution and delivery upon
Closing of a Guarantee in form and substance of Exhibit 8.13(c) attached hereto
(the "Parent Guarantee"). Buyer and Buyer Parent hereby agree to execute and
deliver to Seller, such reasonable and necessary documents, certificates and
agreements as may be reasonably requested by Seller to perfect the security
interest granted under Section 8.13(b) of this Agreement.

          (d) During the time when any of Sellers' Bonds and/or Letters of
Credit are outstanding, Buyer shall periodically (not less than every three (3)
months) update Sellers as to the status and progress of work under each Customer
Contract for which a Bond and/or Letter of Credit is outstanding, and shall
permit, and cause their officers, directors, employees, agents (including
attorneys and accountants) and other personnel to permit, Sellers and their
Affiliates, and its and their employees and agents ("Sellers Reviewers") an
opportunity to discuss the status and progress of work under each such Customer
Contract.

          8.14 Post-Closing Collections. After the Closing, Sellers shall
promptly pay to Buyer as and when received any and all cash, monies, checks or
other property that such Sellers receive (i) with respect to the Purchased
Assets or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder, and/or (ii) in
connection with or relating to the operation of the Business.

          8.15 Use of Names. Buyer shall be permitted to continue to use the
"Covansys" name and all adaptations, derivations and combinations of the
foregoing ("Covansys Name") for a period of six (6) months after Closing, as
necessary or desirable for the conduct of the Business and to inform third
parties of the separation of the Business from the Sellers, including without
limitation, on existing or ordered signage, tools, equipment, furniture,
uniforms, vehicles, stationery, pamphlets, brochures, contracts and other
documents, texts and records. Buyer may also use the Covansys Name on its
website, and in correspondence to third parties, in order to inform viewers and
other third parties of the separation of the Business from Sellers. Thereafter,
Buyer may continue to use the Covansys Name as it appears on internal tools,
equipment, furniture, documents, texts and records (including contracts), and as
necessary in correspondence with Government Entities. For the avoidance of
doubt, after Closing, Sellers shall not use any corporate name, trademark,
service mark, trade name or logo included in the Purchased Assets or adopted by
the Business, except in its internal documents for recordkeeping purposes and in
required reportings and filings to Government Entities; provided, however, that
for a period of six (6) months after Closing, Sellers shall display an
announcement of the transaction, as set forth in Exhibit H, on the homepage of
their website, along with a link to a website designated by Buyer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not, by virtue or during the course
of its activity under this Section 8.15, create or impose upon any Seller or
their Affiliates any binding obligation of any kind to any unaffiliated Person.

          8.16 Insurance Matters. Sellers shall take no action to prevent Buyer
and the Business from recovering under Sellers' insurance policies for losses
suffered by the Business from events or damages occurring prior to the Closing
and shall provide access to such coverage for any such losses to the extent such
coverage is available; and Sellers shall take all actions reasonably requested
by Buyer to obtain such recovery.

          8.17 Bulk Transfer Laws. The Sellers will bear any loss, liability,
obligation or cost suffered by Sellers or Buyer as a result of the Parties'
noncompliance with any provision of any bulk sales law which is applicable to
the transfer of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

          8.18 Enforcement of Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights Agreements.
Each Seller agrees that it shall use its reasonable commercial efforts, and
shall cooperate with Buyer, to enforce any and all provisions set forth in all
written confidentiality agreements and written proprietary rights agreements
entered into by such Seller with all of the current and former consultants,
contractors and employees of such Seller related to the Business.

          8.19 Projects Review. In addition to any other rights set forth in
Section 3.1(f) or otherwise herein, from the date hereof and through the date
which is the later of ninety (90) days from the date hereof or fifteen (15) days
prior to the Closing, Sellers hereby agree to permit, and cause their officers,
directors, employees, agents (including attorneys and accountants) and other
personnel to permit and shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to cause
their customers to permit, Buyer and its Affiliates, and its and their
employees, agents, accounting and legal representatives and lenders (if any) and
their representatives (collectively, the "Buyer Reviewers") to have access
during normal business hours to Software developed primarily for use in the
operation of the Business by or for any Seller (including works-in-progress and
Third Party Components) and to such other information and materials of Sellers
as are reasonably required for the Buyer Reviewers to review, analyze,
investigate, evaluate and otherwise conduct due diligence to their full and sole
satisfaction with respect to the status and progress of services performed
and/or to be performed and the functionality, fitness for business purpose and
performance of Software and other deliverables or work product developed or to
be developed or delivered under any Customer Contract (the "Projects Review"),
and Sellers shall, and shall cause their officers, directors, employees, agents
(including attorneys and accountants) and other personnel, and shall use their
reasonable commercial efforts to cause their customers to, otherwise reasonably
cooperate and provide such assistance as reasonably requested for the Buyer
Reviewers to perform the Projects Review.

          8.20 Rejection of Customer Contracts.

          (a) If at any time before the date that is five (5) days prior to the
Closing Date (the "Rejection Period"), Buyer determines in its discretion that,
based upon the quality, status and progress of services performed or to be
performed, or upon the functionality and performance of Software developed or to
be developed or delivered under any Customer Contract, a failure, flaw or
nonconformity exists with respect to such services or Software, to the effect
that such Software fails to meet the Contract specifications and cannot be made
to meet such Contract specifications without material additional time and
expense over and above that set forth in Schedule 6.9(a) as of the date hereof
(a "Flaw"), Buyer shall be permitted (in its sole discretion) to amend the
Assumed Contracts Schedule and the Excluded Asset Schedule to remove and add, as
applicable, any Customer Contract by written notice to Sellers to the effect
thereof, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for Buyer's determination
that such a Flaw exists (a "Customer Contract Rejection Notice"). Upon receipt
of a Customer Contract Rejection Notice, Buyer and the Company shall discuss in
good faith the basis of Buyer's determination, and the Company may suggest to
Buyer cures for any such Flaw. Unless Buyer retracts (in its sole discretion)
any Customer Contract Rejection Notice within five (5) days after it is
tendered: (i) any Liability related to or arising out of such Customer Contract
(whether before or after the Closing Date) shall be deemed to be an Excluded
Liability and (ii) Section 8.5 of this Agreement shall be deemed modified to the
extent necessary to permit Sellers to perform such Customer Contract. The
Purchase Price shall be adjusted at the Closing in accordance with Section
2.3(a). Nothing contained in this Section 8.20 shall in any manner limit any
other rights or remedies of Buyer contained elsewhere in this Agreement.

          (b) For any Customer Contract rejected pursuant to Section 8.20(a) or
which is an Unassumed Customer Contract due to failure to obtain Consent to
transfer, Buyer agrees to (i) grant Sellers a limited, non-transferable,
fully-paid up, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive license to reproduce, make
derivative works from, perform, display, publish and distribute the respective
Software Product that is the subject of such Customer Contract (it being
understood and agreed that the Sellers


                                       45

<PAGE>

shall assign all derivative work product to Buyer, unless assigned to the
customer under the Customer Contract, at the conclusion of the Customer
Contract), solely for the purpose of fulfilling Sellers' obligations under such
existing Customer Contract, and (ii) provide Seller with the use of such
Purchased Assets (without charge other than in respect of reasonable charges
paid to third parties) as are required to fulfill Sellers' obligations under
such existing Customer Contract. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary
(including, without limitation, any thresholds, caps or other limitations of
Liability or survival periods in Article 9), Sellers shall jointly and severally
fully indemnify the Buyer Parties and save and hold each of them harmless from
and against, and pay on behalf of or reimburse any Buyer Party as and when
incurred for, all Adverse Consequences which any Buyer Party may suffer, sustain
or become subject to pursuant to this Section 8.20(b).

          8.21 Third Party Components. Sellers shall use its best reasonable
efforts, and Buyer and Seller shall together fully cooperate to obtain Contracts
for Buyer providing for usage rights with respect to the Third Party Components
by, among other things, providing the services of a project manager dedicated to
assisting and facilitating the Parties' efforts to obtain usage rights for Buyer
for such Third Party Components. With respect to any given material Back Office
Software set forth or required to be set forth in Schedule 6.10(a)(iv), and any
Third Party Components set forth or required to be set forth on Schedule
6.10(a)(ii), for which Seller cannot after reasonable efforts obtain usage
rights prior to the Closing Date and Buyer elects to waive the applicability of
Section 4.16 to such Third Party Components or Back Office Software, Seller
shall provide Buyer with the rights and benefits (subject to the obligations) of
such Third Party Component or Back Office Software on customary and reasonable
terms and conditions until the date upon which Buyer obtains usage rights with
respect to such Third Party Components. With respect to any material Back Office
Software set forth or required to be set forth in Schedule 6.10(a)(iv) and any
Third Party Components set forth or required to be set forth on Schedule
6.10(a)(ii) for which a fee is charged to either Buyer or Seller to transfer or
to acquire such Contract providing usage rights for Buyer, or if Buyer is
required to enter into a new Contract providing for such usage rights: (a)
Sellers shall pay the first One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) of
the cumulative total of any such fees; (b) Buyer shall pay the next One Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) of the cumulative total of any such fees;
(c) Seller shall pay sixty-seven percent (67%) and Buyer shall pay thirty-three
percent (33%) of the cumulative total of any such fees over three hundred
thousand dollars ($300,000) until Buyer's cumulative total payments under this
Section 8.21 for any such fees equals five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000);
and (d) Sellers shall pay the remainder of any such fees.

          8.22 Information Sharing. Subject to Section 8.5, the Parties agree
that, after the date hereof, they will provide the other Parties to this
Agreement with commercially reasonable access to each other's documents (and the
ability to make copies of such documents at the requesting Party's cost and
expense), records, attorneys and corporate files with respect to any matters
arising out of or relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets (subject to
any confidentiality and reasonable conflict of interest restrictions) but only
to the extent that such access (a) has a commercially reasonable purpose and (b)
is not otherwise prohibited by a Legal Requirement. In addition, where the
delivery or exchange of information is contemplated under this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents, it is hereby agreed that, subject to Section 8.5, the
Party producing such information for such delivery or exchange may keep
photocopies and such other duplicate originals as in such producing Party's
reasonable discretion is necessary or desirable for such producing Party to
comply with sound corporate management, GAAP or any Legal Requirement, subject
to the confidentiality and other restrictions contained in this Agreement.

            REMEDIES FOR BREACHES OF THIS AGREEMENT AND OTHER MATTERS

          9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, in any other
Transaction Document or in any writing delivered by Buyer or Sellers in
connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
(regardless of any investigation, inquiry or examination made by or on behalf
of, or any knowledge of, or the acceptance of any certificate or opinion by or
on behalf of, any Party and irrespective of the knowledge of any of Sellers'
officers, directors, shareholders, employees or agents, or the acceptance of any
of the disclosure schedules attached hereto or any certificate or opinion) as
follows (such date, with respect to each subsection below, is referred to herein
as its "Survival Date"):

          (a) the representations and warranties in Section 6.8 (Tax Matters)
shall terminate when the applicable statutes of limitations in respect to the
liabilities in question expire (giving effect to any extensions or waivers
thereof), plus sixty (60) days;

          (b) the representations and warranties in Section 6.20 (Intellectual
Property Rights) shall terminate three (3) years from and after the Closing
Date;

and

          (e) all other representations and warranties in this Agreement and the
Schedules attached hereto or in any writing delivered by any Party to any other
Party in connection with this Agreement shall terminate on the eighteenth (18th)
month anniversary of the Closing Date;

provided that any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may
be sought under Section 9.2, and the indemnity with respect thereto, shall
survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Section
9.1 if written notice of the inaccuracy or breach or potential inaccuracy or
breach thereof giving rise to such right or alleged right of indemnity shall
have been given in reasonable detail to the Party against whom such indemnity
may be sought prior to such time. The representations and warranties in this
Agreement and the Schedules attached hereto or in any writing delivered by any
Party to any other Party in connection with this Agreement shall survive for the
periods set forth in this Section 9.1 and shall in no event be affected by any
investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of Buyer or Sellers,
or the knowledge of any of Buyer's or Sellers' officers, directors,
shareholders, employees or agents or the acceptance by Buyer or Sellers of any
certificate or opinion hereunder.

          9.2 Indemnification of Buyer.

                                       47

<PAGE>

agents, representatives, successors and assigns (each a "Buyer Party"), and save
and hold each of them harmless from and against, and pay on behalf of or
reimburse any Buyer Party as and when incurred for, all Adverse Consequences
which any Buyer Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to as a result of:

               (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers
     and contained in this Agreement (except for the Specified Customer Contract
     Representations), any other Transaction Document or in any schedule or
     exhibit attached to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in
     any certificate delivered by Sellers in connection with the Closing;

               (ii) any breach of the representations and warranties made by
     Sellers in Sections 6.9(a), 6.9(f), and 6.9(h) of this Agreement (as the
     sole and exclusive remedy available to any Buyer Party for any claim for
     such breach);

               (iii) any breach of the representations and warranties made by
     Sellers in Section 6.9(g) of this Agreement;

               (iv) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant made by or in
     respect of Sellers under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

               (v) any Excluded Liability;

               (vi) any claim by any Person with respect to, or arising as a
     result of, any Acquisition Proposal made prior to the Closing Date by any
     Person other than Buyer;

               (vii) any failure by Sellers to obtain any Consents from any
     Governmental Entity or any other Person (other than Consents under any
     Customer Contract) as of the Closing;

               (viii) any matter set forth on Schedule 9.2(a)(viii); and

               (ix) any claim by any Person or Persons related to, or arising
     out of, any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for
purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of any
Adverse Consequences that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification
hereunder, (i) each representation and warranty in this Agreement and each
certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto shall be read without regard
and without giving effect to the term(s) "material" or "Material Adverse Effect"
in each instance where the effect of such term(s) would be to make such
representation and warranty less restrictive (as if such words and surrounding
related words (e.g. "reasonably be expected to," "could have" and similar
restrictions and qualifiers) were deleted from such representation and warranty)
and (ii) no Schedule Update delivered pursuant to Section 8.10 shall be given
effect if it discloses any change, event, circumstance, occurrences, fact or
effect or development which is or could reasonably be expected to be adverse to
Buyer, the Business and/or the Purchased Assets.

          (b) The indemnification provided for in Section 9.2(a), shall be
subject to the following limitations:

               (i) Sellers will not be liable to any Buyer Party for any Adverse
     Consequences under Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of any Buyer
     Fundamental Representation or the representations made under Section 6.8
     (Tax Matters)) unless and until the aggregate amount of Adverse
     Consequences relating to all such breaches, excluding Adverse


                                       48

<PAGE>

     Consequences related to breaches of Buyer Fundamental Representations or
     the representations made under Section 6.8 (Tax Matters), exceeds $500,000
     (the "Buyer Threshold"), at which time Sellers shall be liable for the
     amount of all such Adverse Consequences in excess of the Buyer Threshold;
     provided that a Buyer Party may not assert any additional claims against
     Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Buyer
     Fundamental Representations or the representations made under Section 6.8
     (Tax Matters)) once Sellers have paid $8,000,000 to Buyer pursuant to such
     Section 9.2(a)(i) and (iii) for benefits of representations and warranties
     (other than with respect to the Buyer Fundamental Representations, the
     representations made under Section 6.8 (Tax Matters) or, for the avoidance
     of doubt, the Specified Customer Contract Representations);

               (ii) Sellers will not be liable to any Buyer Party for any
     Adverse Consequences under Section 9.2(a)(ii) unless and until the
     aggregate amount of Adverse Consequences relating to all such breaches
     exceeds $250,000 (the "Customer Contract Threshold"), at which time Sellers
     shall be liable for the amount of all such Adverse Consequences in excess
     of the Customer Contract Threshold; provided that a Buyer Party may not
     assert any additional claims against Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii)
     once Sellers have paid $3,000,000 to Buyer pursuant to such Section
     9.2(a)(ii) for benefits of representations and warranties in respect of
     Sections 6.9(a), 6.9(f), and 6.9(h); and

               (iii) a Buyer Party may not assert any additional claims against
     Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iii) once Sellers have paid $8,000,000
     to Buyer pursuant to such Section 9.2(a)(i) and (iii) for benefits of
     representations and warranties; and.

               (iv) notwithstanding anything in Section 9.2(a) to the contrary,
     in the event that Buyer makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to
     Section 9.2(a) (other than pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii), Section
     9.2(a)(iii), Section 9.2(a)(v) or Section 9.2(a)(viii)), arising out of a
     claim by a customer for pre-Closing breach of its Customer Contract (that
     is an Assumed Contract), Sellers shall only be required to indemnify a
     Buyer Party thereunder for any out-of-pocket Adverse Consequences paid, or
     to be paid, by such Buyer Parties (i.e., Sellers shall not be liable for
     any lost profits, consequential damages or the like unless paid
     out-of-pocket by Buyer Party to a third party).

          9.3 Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of Sellers.

          (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.1 and Section
9.3(b), Buyer shall indemnify Sellers and their Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (each a "Company
Party") and save and hold each of them harmless from and against, and pay on
behalf of or reimburse any Company Party as and when incurred for, all Adverse
Consequences which any Company Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to as
a result of:

               (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer
     and contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in any
     schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement, any other Transaction
     Document or in any certificate delivered by Buyer in connection with the
     Closing; and

               (ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant made by or in
     respect of Buyer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for
purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of any
Adverse Consequences that are the subject matter


                                       49

<PAGE>

of a claim for indemnification hereunder, each representation and warranty in
this Agreement and each certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto shall
be read without regard and without giving effect to the term(s) "material" or
"Material Adverse Effect" in each instance where the effect of such term(s)
would be to make such representation and warranty less restrictive (as if such
words and surrounding related words (e.g. "reasonably be expected to," "could
have" and similar restrictions and qualifiers) were deleted from such
representation and warranty).

          (b) The indemnification provided for in Section 9.3(a)(i) shall be
subject to the following limitations:

               (i) Buyer will not be liable to any Company Party for any Adverse
     Consequences under Section 9.3(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount
     of Adverse Consequences relating to all such breaches, excluding Adverse
     Consequences related breaches of the Sellers Fundamental Representations,
     exceeds $250,000 (the "Sellers Threshold"), at which time Buyer shall be
     liable for the amount of all such Adverse Consequences in excess of the
     Sellers Threshold; provided that a Company Party may not assert any
     additional claims against Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) (other than
     with respect to the Sellers Fundamental Representations) once Buyer has
     paid $8,000,000 to Sellers pursuant to such Section 9.3(a)(i) for benefits
     of representations and warranties (other than with respect of the Sellers
     Fundamental Representations).

          9.4 Matters Involving Third Parties.

          (a) If any Company Party or any Buyer Party seeks indemnification
under this Section 9.4, such Person (the "Indemnified Party") shall give written
notice to the other Person (the "Indemnifying Party"). In that regard, if any
Liability shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely
determined, may entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this
Section 9.4 (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify
the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in detail the basis of
such Liability and the facts pertaining thereto; provided, however, that except
as otherwise provided in this Article 9, no delay on the part of the Indemnified
Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party
from any Liability or Adverse Consequences hereunder unless the delay in notice
has a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnifying Party's ability to
successfully defend such claim.

          (b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the
Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying
Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after
the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the
Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the
entirety of any Adverse Consequences (without any limitations other than the
limitations in Section 9.2(b)(iv)) the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting
from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third
Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with
evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying
Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim
and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party
Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other
equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to,
the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified
Party, likely to establish a precedent, custom or practice materially adverse to
the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the
Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and
diligently.


                                       50
<PAGE>

          (c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the
Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.4(b) above, (i) the Indemnified
Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and
participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party
will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably) and (iii)
the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry or any judgment or enter
into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be withheld
unreasonably).

          (d) In the event that any of the conditions in Section 9.4(b) above is
or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against,
and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the
Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any
Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnifying Party will
reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of
defending against the Third Party Claim (including attorneys' fees and
expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any
Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising
out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the
fullest extent provided in this Section 9.4.

          9.5 Manner of Payment. Any indemnification payment of Buyer Parties or
the Company Parties pursuant to this Article 9 shall be effected by cashier's or
certified check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Buyer or
Sellers, as the case may be, to an account designated by the Company Parties or
Buyer Parties, as the case may be, within five (5) days after the determination
of indemnification amounts. Any such indemnification payments shall include
interest -at the rate of 8% per annum from the date any such Adverse Consequence
is suffered or sustained to the date of such payment is due pursuant to this
Section 8.5 and interest at a rate of 20% per annum thereafter until such
Adverse Consequences are fully paid. Interest on any such unpaid amount
hereunder shall be compounded semi-annually, computed on the basis of a 360-day
year. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be
deemed to be adjustments to Purchase Price for Tax purposes. For the avoidance
of doubt, a payment for a claim shall not be due under this Article 9 until (a)
the parties reach a final settlement of such claim or (b) such claim has been
finally adjudicated.

          9.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section 8.5, the Parties
hereto agree that the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9 are
the exclusive provisions in this Agreement with respect to the liability of
Sellers or Buyer for the breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any
representation or warranty or any covenants or other obligations contained in
this Agreement and the sole remedy of Buyer, Sellers, the Buyer Parties and the
Company Parties for any claims for breach of representation or warranty arising
out of this Agreement or any law or legal theory applicable thereto; provided,
that nothing herein shall preclude any Party from seeking any remedy based upon
fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful or criminal misconduct. The
Parties hereto further agree that the provisions of Section 9.2(a)(ii) and
Section 9.2(a)(iii) shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to any
Buyer Party for any claim for breach of the Specified Customer Representations.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                                   TERMINATION

          10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior
to the Closing:

          (a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Sellers;

          Any Party may send any notice, request, demand, claim or other
communication hereunder to the intended recipient at the address set forth above
using any other means, but no such notice, request, demand, claim or other

are to be delivered by giving the other Party notice in the manner herein set

          12.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving
effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

          12.8 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Parties hereto. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or
breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be
deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or
breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising
by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

          12.9 Incorporation of Schedules. The Schedules identified in this
Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

          12.10 Construction. Where specific language is used to clarify by
example a general statement contained herein (such as by using the word
"including"), such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or
restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it
relates. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language
chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
construction shall be applied against any Party.


                                       62

Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall
include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular
form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa.
Nothing in the Schedules hereto shall be deemed adequate to disclose an
exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the Schedule
identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the
relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item
shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or
warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the
existence of the document or other item itself). The Parties intend that each
representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent
significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or
covenant contained herein (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification) in any
respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or
covenant (including any indemnification provision) relating to the same subject
matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has
not breached (or is not otherwise entitled to indemnification with respect
thereto) shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach
of the first representation, warranty, or covenant (or is otherwise entitled to
indemnification pursuant to a different provision).

          12.11 Severability of Provisions. If any covenant, agreement,
provision or term of this Agreement is held to be invalid for any reason
whatsoever, then such covenant, agreement, provision or term will be deemed
severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions and terms of this
Agreement and will in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement.

          12.12 Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and
agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of
the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties
agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions
to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any court of
the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and
the matter in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law
or equity).

          12.13 Successor Laws. Any reference to any particular Code section or
any other Legal Requirement will be interpreted to include any revision of or
successor to that section regardless of how it is numbered or classified.

          12.14 Delivery by Facsimile. This Agreement and any signed Contract
entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any amendments
hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile
machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original Contract and
shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the
original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party
hereto or to any such Contract, each other party hereto or thereto shall
re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No
party hereto or to any such Contract shall raise the use of a facsimile machine
to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or Contract was
transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine as a defense to
the formation of a Contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

          12.15 General Release. Except for claims arising under this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents, and claims related to the fraud or criminal
misconduct of any Person, effective as of the Closing, each Seller, on behalf of
itself and each of its officers, directors, employees, Subsidiaries and
Affiliates (collectively, the "Related Parties"), hereby releases and forever
discharges Buyer, and each of its respective individual, joint or mutual, past,
present and future directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys,
accountants, consultants, advisors, affiliates, stockholders, controlling
persons, Subsidiaries,


                                       63

successors and assigns (individually, a "Releasee" and collectively,
"Releasees") from any and all claims, demands, proceedings, causes of action,
orders, obligations, contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever,
whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity,
which each Seller or any of their respective Related Parties now has, have ever
had or may hereafter have against the respective Releasees arising
contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date or on account of or arising
out of any matter, cause or event occurring contemporaneously with or prior to
the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, any rights to indemnification
or reimbursement from Buyer, whether pursuant to their respective organizational
documents, contract or otherwise and whether or not relating to claims pending
on, or asserted after, the Closing Date. Except for claims arising under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, each Seller hereby irrevocably
covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or
demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any proceeding of
any kind against any Releasee, based upon any matter purported to be released
hereby.
