Iconixx. The Majority Shareholders shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to
review the audit results (including any work papers prepared in connection
therewith). In the event that Majority Shareholders provide written notice
within 20 days after receipt of the Audited Closing Financial Statements that
they dispute any item(s) contained in the Audited Closing Financial Statements,
then Majority Shareholders and Iconixx shall jointly select and retain an
independent accounting firm (the "Independent Accountants") reasonably
acceptable to all parties hereto to review the disputed item(s) in the Audited
Closing Financial Statements. In conducting such review, Arthur Andersen, L.L.P.
shall provide the Independent Accountants with customary access to the work
papers of Arthur Andersen, L.L.P. utilized in preparing the Audited Closing
Financial Statements. The final determination of such disputed item(s) by the
Independent Accountants shall be utilized to determine all adjustments described
in Section 2.9 above and shall be final and binding on the parties solely for
   -----------
such purposes. If the determination of disputed items by the Independent
Accountants results in either (i) an adjustment, described in Section 2.9, in
                                                              -----------
favor of Buyer; or (ii) an adjustment, described in Section 2.9, of less than
                                                    -----------
$15,000 in favor of the Majority Shareholders, then the cost of retaining the
Independent Accountants shall be borne solely by the Majority Shareholders.
However, if the determination of disputed items by the Independent Accountants
results in an adjustment, described in Section 2.9, of $15,000 or more in favor
                                       -----------
of the Majority Shareholders, then the cost of retaining the Independent
Accountants shall be borne solely by Buyer.

     2.13. Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment. The Purchase Price will
           -------------------------------------------
be adjusted upward or downward, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to reflect the
increase or decrease, if any, in Net Working Capital as reflected on the Audited
Closing Financial Statements from the Projected Net Working Capital (the "Net
Working Capital Adjustment"). The Net Working Capital Adjustment shall be
determined by referring to the Audited Closing Financial Statements. In the
event that the Net Working Capital Adjustment results in an increase in the
Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay such amount to the Company in immediately
available funds within 15 days of delivery of the Audited Closing Financial
Statements as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.12 above. In the
                                                    ------------
event that the Net Working Capital Adjustment results in a decrease in the
Purchase Price, then the amount of any such decrease shall be payable to Buyer
(i) first, from the Escrow Sum in immediately available funds within 15 days of
the final determination of the Net Working Capital Adjustment up to a maximum of
$500,000 and (ii) second, the balance, if any, by the Majority Shareholders or
the Company in immediately available funds within 15 days of the final
determination of the Net Working Capital Adjustment. All payments required to be
paid by Majority Shareholders and the Company or the Escrow Agent pursuant to
this Section 2.13 shall be deemed to be a downward adjustment to the Purchase
     ------------
Price and shall not be controlled or limited by any provision contained in
Article VIII hereof.

Body of violation of any such Governmental Permit or the Requirements of Laws
governing the issuance or continued validity thereof. All of such Governmental

all inventions, processes, designs, formulae, trade secrets and know-how
utilized in the conduct of the Business as presently conducted and as currently
planned by the Company without material impediment, without the payment of any
royalty or similar payment. The Company is not infringing on any Intellectual
Property right of others and neither the Company nor the Majority Shareholders

parties thereto, enforceable against the Company, and to the Knowledge of the
Company the other parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms,
except for the Equitable Exceptions. The Company owns and possesses all right,
title and interest in and to, or has the right to use pursuant to a valid
license, all Intellectual Property necessary for the operation of the Business
of the Company as presently conducted. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11, the

Shareholders, no such claim is reasonably anticipated) to the effect that the

performing all of its obligations under any Contract, the Company has no
Knowledge of any breach or anticipated breach by the other parties to any
Contract and the Company has not received notice of actual or threatened

affecting the Company or any of its properties or assets, at law or in equity,

such claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations, if adversely
determined, will individually or in the aggregate result in any Material Adverse
Effect to the Company. The Company has not been and the Company is not now,

Governmental Body. No inquiry, action or proceeding has been instituted or, to
the Knowledge of the Majority Shareholders or the Company, threatened or
asserted against the Majority Shareholders or the Company to restrain or
prohibit the carrying out of the Acquisition or to challenge the validity of the
Acquisition or any part thereof or seeking damages on account thereof. To the
Knowledge of the Company and the Majority Shareholders there is no basis for any
such valid claim or action.

which have become due pursuant to such Tax Returns or any assessments received
have been paid or adequately accrued on the Financial Statements. The provisions
for Taxes reflected on the balance sheets contained in the Financial Statements
are adequate to cover all of the Company's Tax liabilities for the respective
periods then ended and all prior periods. The Company has not executed any
presently effective waiver or extension of any statute of limitations against
assessments and collection of Taxes, and there are no pending or threatened
claims, assessments, notices, proposals to assess, deficiencies, or audits with
respect to any such Taxes of which any of the Majority Shareholders or the
Company are aware. For Governmental Bodies with respect to which the Company
files Tax Returns, no such Governmental Body has given the Company written
notification that such corporation is or may be subject to taxation by that
Governmental Body. The Company has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have
been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee,
shareholder, creditor, independent contractor or other party. The Company has
each properly reflected for tax purposes in accordance with all Requirements of
Laws the status of all independent contractors, consultants and subcontractors.

least 30 days prior to the proposed date of any such disposition or destruction.

     6.7. Assignment of Contracts. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
          -----------------------
notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or
otherwise transfer any Contract or any rights thereunder, if an attempted
assignment or transfer thereof would constitute a breach thereof, would be
ineffective or would violate any applicable law without the consent of a third
party to such assignment or transfer. Until such consent or waiver has been
obtained, Buyer shall make all reasonable efforts to perform in Seller's name
all of Seller's obligations under any such Contract for which any such consent
has not been obtained. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable
arrangement designed to provide for Buyer all of the benefits, and to have Buyer

Buyer, any and all rights of Seller under any such Contract not otherwise
transferred pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Seller hereby

obligations after the Closing under all such contracts. Seller agrees to remit
promptly to Buyer all collections or payments received by Seller in respect of

nothing herein shall create or provide any rights or benefits in or to third
parties.

practice, occurrence, event, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior
to the Closing Date involving the Company, Buyer or the Business, each of the

"Minimum Cash Deficit"). The above adjustment is in addition to, and not
included in, any downward adjustment made at Closing pursuant to Section 2.9.
                                                                 -----------

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     8.1. Indemnification by the Majority Shareholders. Except as provided in
          --------------------------------------------
Section 8.6, the Company and the Majority Shareholders agree to jointly and
-----------
severally indemnify and hold harmless Iconixx and the Buyer and each officer,
director, and Affiliate of Iconixx and the Buyer, including, without limitation,
First Union Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. and their successors and
assigns, and any successor of the Buyer or Iconixx as provided in Section 10.5
                                                                  ------------
hereof (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all
damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands, charges, suits, penalties, costs
and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred in investigating and preparing for any litigation or proceeding)
(collectively, the "Indemnifiable Costs"), which any of the Indemnified Parties
may sustain, or to which any of the Indemnified Parties may be subjected,
arising out of (A) any misrepresentation, breach or default by the Majority
Shareholders or the Company of or under any of the representations, covenants,
agreements or other provisions of this Agreement or any agreement or document
executed in connection herewith; (B) any downward Net Working Capital Adjustment
not paid to the Buyer pursuant to a reduction of the Escrow Sum; (C) cost of any
brokerage or other transaction fees liability, if any, owed to the Updata
Capital, Inc.; (D) any customer claims involving pre-Closing services or
products of the Company for breach of warranty, product liability or customer
service remediation, including claims for consequential damages, to the extent
not reserved for in the Company's Financial Statements; (E) any Excluded
Liabilities (including, without limitation, any liability arising out of any
matter disclosed in Schedule 3.16 hereto); and (F) any failure of the Company to
                    -------------
obtain any landlord or customer or supplier consents to the Acquisition
contemplated hereby required under the terms of any leases of the Company's real
property or any Contracts.

     8.2. Defense of Claims. If any legal proceeding shall be instituted, or any
          -----------------
claim or demand made by a third Person, against any Indemnified Party in respect
of which the Majority Shareholders or the Company may be liable hereunder, such
Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Company and
the Majority Shareholders and, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.4
                                                               -----------
below, the Majority Shareholders shall have the right to defend at their expense
any litigation, action, suit, demand, or claim for which an Indemnified Party
may seek indemnifications, and such Indemnified Party shall extend reasonable
cooperation in connection with such defense, and the Majority Shareholders shall
incur any actual out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party reasonably
incurred in connection with such cooperation. In the event the Majority
Shareholders fail or refuse to defend the same within a reasonable length of
time, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof,
and the Majority Shareholders shall be jointly and severally liable to repay the
Indemnified Parties for all reasonably incurred Indemnifiable Costs. If the
Majority Shareholders shall not have the right to assume the defense of any
litigation, action, suit, demand, or claim in accordance with the preceding
sentence, the Indemnified Parties shall, at the Majority Shareholders' expense,
have the absolute right to control the defense of such litigation,
action, suit, demand, or claim, but the Majority Shareholders shall be entitled,
at their own expense, to participate in such litigation,

                                     -38-
<PAGE>

action, suit, demand, or claim. The party controlling any defense pursuant to
this Section 8.2 shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to the other party,
     -----------
copies of all correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals or other
written statements relating to or submitted in connection with the defense of
any such litigation, action, suit, demand or claim, and timely notice of any
hearing or other court proceeding relating to such litigation, action, suit,
demand or claim. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event will the party
controlling any defense pursuant to this Section 8.2 settle any litigation,
                                         -----------
action, suit, demand or claim without the prior written consent of the non-
controlling party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or
delayed unless such settlement provides for the unqualified, absolute and
complete release of all claims against the non-controlling party and results in
no monetary or equitable liability to the non-controlling party.

     8.3. Escrow Claim. If any claim for indemnification is made by an
          ------------
Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII prior to the expiration of the
                                   ------------
Escrow Period, such Indemnified Party shall first apply to the Escrow Agent
provided in Section 2.7 of this Agreement for reimbursement of such claim in
            -----------
accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement provided, however, the
Escrow Sum is not intended to be an exclusive remedy in the event Iconixx or the
Buyer has indemnification claims hereunder which exceed such amount. In the
event that the Iconixx claims against the Escrow Sum exceed the amount of any
Indemnifiable Costs (as finally determined), Iconixx shall be responsible to the
Majority Shareholders for such sums which should not have been subject to such
claim, together with interest earned on the Escrow Sum, if any.

     8.4. Tax Audits, Etc. In the event of an audit of a Tax Return of the
          ---------------
Company with respect to which an Indemnified Party might be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, the Majority Shareholders and the
                                 ------------
Company shall jointly control any and all such audits which may result in the
assessment of additional Taxes against the Company or Buyer and any and all
subsequent proceedings in connection therewith, including appeals. The Majority
Shareholders and Iconixx shall cooperate fully in all matters relating to any
such audit or other Tax proceeding (including according access to all records
pertaining thereto), and will execute and file any and all consents, powers of
attorney, and other documents as shall be reasonably necessary in connection
therewith. If additional Taxes are payable by Buyer for which it is entitled to
indemnification hereunder, as a result of any such audit or other proceeding,
the Majority Shareholders shall be severally responsible for and shall promptly
pay all Taxes, interest, and penalties for which any of the Indemnified Parties
shall be entitled to indemnification.

     8.5. Indemnification of Majority Shareholders. Iconixx and Buyer agree to
          ----------------------------------------
jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Majority Shareholders and
the Company and each officer, director, shareholder or Affiliate of the Company,
from and against any Indemnifiable Costs arising out of any misrepresentation,
breach or default by Iconixx or Buyer of or under any of the representations,
covenants, agreements or other provisions of this Agreement or any agreement or
document executed in connection herewith.

                                     -39-
<PAGE>

     8.6. Limits on Indemnification. All Indemnifiable Costs sought by any party
          -------------------------
hereunder shall be net of any insurance proceeds received by such Person with
respect to such claim (less the present value of any premium increases occurring
as a result of such claim). Except for any claims for breach of the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Majority
Shareholders under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.14, 3.17 or Article VI
                   -------- ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ----  ----    ----------
hereof (the indemnification for which shall expire on the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations or, in the case of covenants in Article VI
                                                                  ----------
which have a specific expiration date, as of such date, and if so made, such
claims, and all Indemnifiable Costs incurred thereafter, shall continue after
such date until finally resolved), the right to make claims for indemnification
provided under this Article VIII (other than claims for Excluded Liabilities or
                    ------------
for claims for breaches of covenants) shall expire on the second anniversary of
the Closing Date (except for any claims for Indemnifiable Costs made prior to
such date which claims shall continue after such date until finally resolved).
The Majority Shareholders shall not be obligated to pay any amounts for
indemnification under this Article VIII until the aggregate indemnification
                           ------------
obligation sought by Iconixx or Buyer hereunder exceeds $60,000, whereupon the
Majority Shareholders shall be liable for all amounts for which indemnification
may be sought. The Company and the Majority Shareholders shall be jointly and
severally liable for all indemnification claims of Iconixx or Buyer, provided,
however, that in the absence of fraud by a Majority Shareholder, such Majority
Shareholder's aggregate indemnification of Iconixx or Buyer shall be limited to
his, her or its proportionate share of the Purchase Price. Neither Iconixx nor
the Buyer shall be obligated to pay any amounts for indemnification under this
Article VIII until the aggregate indemnification obligation sought by the
------------
Majority Shareholders and the Company hereunder exceeds $60,000, whereupon
Iconixx and the Buyer shall be liable for all amounts for which indemnification
may be sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate
liability of (A) Iconixx or Buyer to the Majority Shareholders and the Company
for breach of representations and warranties under Article IV exceed $3,000,000;
                                                   ----------
and (B) the Majority Shareholders and the Company to Iconixx or Buyer for breach
of representations and warranties exceed $13,000,000; provided, however, that
such amount under this clause (B) shall be reduced to $6,500,000 for all claims
made on or after 60 days after the final completion of the audit of the Buyer's
financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity limitations contained in the
preceding sentence shall not include and shall not limit any claims for the
breaching of the representations and warranties of the Company and Majority
Shareholders under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.12 (to the extent
                   ------------  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ----
such claims relate to OSHA violations), 3.14 and 3.17 or any breach of Sections
                                        ----     ----                  --------
8.1(B) or (E), all of which claims together shall not exceed the Purchase Price.
------    ---
However nothing in this Article VIII shall limit Iconixx, Buyer, the Company or
                        ------------
the Majority Shareholders in exercising or securing any remedies provided by
applicable statutory or common law with respect to the fraudulent conduct of the
Company, Majority Shareholders, Buyer or Iconixx in connection with this
Agreement or in the amount of damages that it can recover from the other in the
event that Iconixx or the Majority Shareholders successfully prove intentional
fraud or intentional fraudulent conduct in connection with this Agreement. Other
than as set forth in the preceding sentence, the indemnification provided for in
this Section VIII is intended to be the exclusive monetary remedy of Iconixx,
     ------------
Buyer, the Company or the Majority Shareholders with regard to the Acquisition
contemplated by this Agreement.

                                   TERMINATION

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

          (a) by the mutual written consent of all parties hereto;

          (b) in writing by Iconixx and the Buyer, if the Company or any of the
Majority Shareholders has breached in any material respect any representation,
warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and in each case such breach
has not been remedied within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of written
notice specifying such breach and demanding such breach to be remedied; or

          (c) in writing by the Majority Shareholders and the Company, if
Iconixx or the buyer has breached in any material respect any representation,
warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and in each case such breach
has not been remedied within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of written
notice specifying such breach and demanding such breach to be remedied; or

          (d) in writing by the Majority Shareholders and the Company, on the
one hand, or Iconixx and the Buyer, on the other hand, in the event the Closing
has not occurred on or before March 31, 2000, unless the failure of such
consummation or the failure to satisfy such condition, as applicable, shall be
due to a breach of any representation or warranty made by the party or parties
seeking to terminate this Agreement or the failure of such party or parties to
comply in all material respects with the agreements and covenants contained
herein to be performed by such party or parties.

     9.2. Effect of Termination. If the Acquisition is terminated pursuant to
          ---------------------
Section 9.1 by notice in writing to the non-terminating party or parties, this
-----------
Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except that (a)
such termination shall not relieve (i) any party from its covenants in respect
of confidentiality contained in Section 6.3 and (ii) any party then in breach of
                                -----------
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
from liability in respect of such breach and (b) Sections 10.4 and 10.7 shall
                                                 -------------     ----
survive termination of this Agreement.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     10.1. Modifications. Any amendment, change or modification of this
           -------------
Agreement shall be void unless in writing and signed by all parties hereto. No
failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder (and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties) shall
operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege. No waiver of any
default on any one occasion shall constitute a waiver of any

                                     -41-
<PAGE>

subsequent or other default. No single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or privilege shall preclude the further or full exercise thereof.

     10.2. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
           -------
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered,

     10.7. Governing Law. This Agreement and its validity, construction,
           -------------
enforcement, and interpretation shall be governed by the substantive laws of the
State of Maryland, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws
thereof.

     10.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Regardless of

any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any party hereto or of any
information any party may have in respect thereof, all covenants, agreements,
representations, and warranties and the related indemnities made hereunder or
pursuant hereto or in connection with the Acquisition shall survive the Closing
for a period ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that
(a) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.14 and Section
                                                    ------------     -------
3.17 of this Agreement, and the related indemnities, shall survive the Closing

(60) days, (b) the representations, warranties and covenants contained in
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 and Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.5 and 4.6 and

the indemnities contained in Sections 8.1(C) and 8.1(E), and 8.5 of this
                             ---------------     ------      ---
Agreement, and the related indemnities, shall survive the Closing indefinitely
and not expire, (c) all covenants in this Agreement which have an expiration
date contained therein shall expire as of such date and

                                     -44-
<PAGE>

(d) all other covenants in this Agreement which do not have an expiration date
shall expire upon the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation.

     10.9. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed or
           ------------------
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be considered
divisible and inoperative as to such provision to the extent it is deemed to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, and in all other respects this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if any provision
of this Agreement is deemed or held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
there shall be added hereto automatically a provision as similar as possible to
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision and be legal, valid and
enforceable. Further, should any provision contained in this Agreement ever be
reformed or rewritten by any judicial body of competent jurisdiction, such
provision as so reformed or rewritten shall be binding upon all parties hereto.

     10.10. Public Announcements. Neither the Majority Shareholders nor the
            --------------------
Company (pre-Closing) shall make any public announcement of the Acquisition
without the prior written consent of Iconixx, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

     10.11. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of the parties under this

Agreement are cumulative and shall not exclude any other remedies to which any
party may be lawfully entitled.

confer upon or give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their
permitted successors or assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of
this Agreement.

     10.13. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly
            ----------------------
in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of
proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

     10.14. Disclosure Schedules. An item disclosed in any part of the
            --------------------
Disclosure Schedules attached hereto shall be deemed disclosed in response to
