Liability Company Act and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain any novations required by the FAR as a result of such merger.

                  (b)      Prior to Closing (but effective as between the
Parties prior to the Effective Date), ACS Defense shall contribute, convey,
assign, transfer and deliver to Newco, a newly-formed, wholly-owned, direct
Subsidiary of ACS Government, all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Newco Contributed Assets and Newco shall assume the Newco Assumed Liabilities
and ACS Defense and Newco shall execute a Bill of Sale, Assignment and
Assumption Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and
Seller. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Newco all security clearances that
are necessary for Newco to operate the business related to the Newco Contributed
Assets as of the Closing Date. If such commercially reasonable efforts do not
result in Newco holding such necessary security clearances as of the Closing
Date, prior to Closing, in lieu of the contribution to Newco as provided above,
the Newco Contributed Assets shall be contributed, conveyed, assigned,
transferred and delivered to ACS Government and ACS Government (so long as ACS
Government has such security clearances) shall assume the Newco Assumed
Liabilities. Neither party shall be obligated to consummate the Closing until a
Person owned (or to be owned) by Buyer has such necessary security clearances.
All employees of ACS Defense whose responsibilities relate primarily to the
Retained Business, and such additional employees of the Acquired Entities and
ACS Defense who are identified by Buyer prior to the Closing Date as employees
who shall not become Transferred Employees (with an initial list to be delivered
by Buyer to Seller on or prior to the fifth business day after the date hereof,
it being understood that such list is subject to revision by Buyer from time to
time, but not later than the fifth business day prior to the Closing Date),
shall remain, or become, employees of ACS Defense and shall not become
Transferred Employees. At least five business days prior to the Closing Date,
Seller shall deliver a list of the employees who will be employed by ACS Defense
upon the Closing, which list shall be attached as Schedule 2.4(b).

                  (c)      Subsequent to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by Section 2.4(b) above, but prior to the Closing (but effective as
between the Parties prior to the Effective Date), ACS Government shall
distribute to Holdco all rights, title and interest in the equity of ACS Defense
(or its successor as a result of the merger contemplated by Section 2.4(a)) and
Holdco, in turn, shall contribute all such rights, title and interest in the
equity of ACS Defense (or its successor as a result of the merger contemplated
by Section 2.4(a)) to ACS/ECG Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Holdco, such that ACS Defense shall become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of Holdco and shall not be an Acquired Entity. The Retained Assets shall remain
property of ACS Defense and the Retained Liabilities shall remain liabilities of
ACS Defense.

                  (d)      From time to time prior to the Closing Date (but
effective as between the Parties prior to the Effective Date), Seller shall
cause each Acquired Entity which is the owner of Excluded Assets to contribute,
convey, assign transfer and deliver to ACS Education Solutions, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the "Seller Transferee Subsidiary"), all of such
Acquired Entity's right, title and interest in and to the Excluded Assets, and
ACS or the Seller Transferee Subsidiary shall assume the Excluded Liabilities.
At the time(s) of each such transaction, the parties shall execute a Bill of
Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Buyer and Seller and ACS Government and the Seller Transferee
Subsidiary shall enter into the DOE Subcontract Agreement. Seller shall cause
all employees of ACS Government whose responsibilities relate primarily to the
Excluded Assets to remain employed by (or become the responsibility of, as
applicable) the Seller Transferee Subsidiary and such Persons shall not become
Transferred Employees. At least five business days prior to the Closing Date,
Seller shall deliver a list of the employees who will be employed by the Seller
Transferee Subsidiary upon the Closing, which list shall be attached as Schedule
2.4(d).

                  (e)      Prior to the Closing (but effective as between the
Parties prior to the Effective Date), Birch & Davis shall distribute to ACS or
an Affiliate of ACS (other than an Acquired Entity) all of Birch and Davis'
right, title and interest in the equity of ACS State Health Services, Inc., such
that ACS State Health Services, Inc. shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ACS or an Affiliate of ACS (other than an Acquired Entity) and shall not be an
Acquired Entity.

                  (f)      To the extent that any of the transactions
contemplated by this Section 2.4 involves the assignment of a Lease or Contract
requiring the consent of any third-party thereto (other than a Government
Contract), the Parties shall treat such Lease or Contract as if such Lease or
Contract were subject to Sections 5.7 and 5.8 of this Agreement, respectively,
mutatis mutandis, and the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective
Affiliates to, take all commercially reasonable actions required thereby in
connection with such Leases and Contracts. For the avoidance of doubt, (i)
references in Section 5.7 and 5.8 to "Seller" shall be deemed to refer (for
purposes of this Section 2.4(f) only) to (x) Seller and its Affiliates,
including ACS Defense, with respect to Leases and Contracts included in the
Newco Contributed Assets and (y) Buyer and its Affiliates with respect to Leases
and Contracts included in the Excluded Assets and (ii) references in Sections
5.7 and 5.8 to "Buyer" shall be deemed to refer (for purposes of this Section
2.4(f) only) to (x) Buyer and its Affiliates with respect to the Leases and
Contracts included in the Newco Contributed Assets and (y) Seller and its
Affiliates, including ACS Defense, with respect to Leases and Contracts included
in the Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contracts set forth
on Schedule A to the ACS Defense Subcontract Agreement shall be handled as
provided in the ACS Defense Subcontract Agreement and shall not constitute
Restricted Contracts handled pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.4(f).

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  3.1      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER.

                  Except as otherwise indicated on the Schedules hereto, Holdco
and ACS jointly and severally represent and warrant to Buyer, and agree with
Buyer, as follows:

                  (a)      ORGANIZATION AND RELATED MATTERS.

                  Each of Holdco, ACS, each Acquired Entity, ACS Defense and the
Seller Transferee Subsidiary is, or when formed will be, a corporation, limited
liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or organization. Each of Holdco, ACS, each Acquired Entity, ACS
Defense and the Seller Transferee Subsidiary has all necessary corporate power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the Related
Agreements, in each case, to which such entity is a party. Each Acquired Entity,
ACS Defense and the Seller Transferee Subsidiary has, or when formed will have,
all necessary corporate power and authority to own its respective properties and
assets and to carry on its respective businesses as now conducted and is duly
qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing
in all jurisdictions in which the character or the location of its owned or
leased assets or the nature of the business it conducts requires licensing or
qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect.

                  (b)      STOCK.

                  Holdco owns, beneficially and of record, all of the issued and
outstanding Stock of the Transferred Subsidiaries. Other than such Stock, there
are no outstanding Equity Securities of the

<PAGE>

Transferred Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.1(b) sets forth (i) the authorized, issued
and outstanding capital stock of each Acquired Entity, (ii) the capital stock
ownership of each Acquired Entity (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) and
(iii) the jurisdiction in which each of the Acquired Entities was organized.
Except as described on Schedule 3.1(b), each Transferred Subsidiary owns all of
the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of each of its direct Subsidiaries
and each direct Subsidiary of each Transferred Subsidiary owns all of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of its respective direct Subsidiaries, in each
case, beneficially and of record. All of the Equity Securities of each Acquired
Entity or ACS Defense are owned by Holdco, ACS or an Acquired Entity free and
clear of any Encumbrance. Except as contemplated hereby, there are no
outstanding Contracts or other rights to subscribe for or purchase, or Contracts
or other obligations to issue or grant any rights to acquire, any Equity
Securities of any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense. There are no outstanding
Contracts or other rights or obligations of Seller or any Acquired Entity or ACS
Defense to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, or affecting the voting
rights of, or requiring the registration for sale of, any Equity Securities of
any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense. All outstanding Equity Securities of each
Acquired Entity and ACS Defense are duly authorized, validly issued and
outstanding and are fully paid and nonassessable. None of the outstanding Equity
Securities of any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense have been issued in violation
of any applicable Laws or preemptive rights. There are no preemptive rights in
respect of any Equity Securities of any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense. Other
than the Equity Securities of an Acquired Entity or ACS Defense set forth on
Schedule 3.1(b), neither any Acquired Entity nor ACS Defense owns any Equity
Security of any other Person.

                  (c)      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; CHANGES; CONTINGENCIES.

                            (1) Financial Statements. Attached hereto as
Schedule 3.1(c)(1) are true and complete copies of (i) the unaudited combined
balance sheet for the Transferred Subsidiaries and their respective Subsidiaries
as of June 30, 2002 and the related unaudited combined statements of income and
cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2002 (the foregoing, collectively, the
"Year-End Financial Statements") and (ii) the unaudited combined balance sheet
for the Transferred Subsidiaries and their Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2003, and
the related unaudited combined statements of income and cash flows for the
eleven-month period then ended (the "Interim Financial Statements" and,
collectively with the Year-End Financial Statements, the "Financial
Statements"), in each case, prepared on a pro forma basis and excluding the
Excluded Assets, the Excluded Liabilities, the Retained Assets and the Retained
Liabilities, but including the Newco Contributed Assets and Newco Assumed
Liabilities. The Financial Statements have been prepared as though, and assume
for all purposes, that the transactions contemplated by Section 2.4 have
occurred as of the applicable dates and during the applicable periods described
therein. The Financial Statements (i) represent actual bona fide transactions,
(ii) have been prepared from the books and records of the Acquired Entities and
ACS Defense, as applicable, in conformity with GAAP consistently applied, except
as set forth therein and as adjusted on a pro forma basis, and except that the
Interim Financial Statements are not accompanied by notes or other textual
disclosure required by GAAP and are subject to the exclusion of normal year-end
adjustments, and (iii) fairly present in all material respects the Transferred
Subsidiaries' combined financial position as of the respective dates thereof and
its combined results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended on
such pro forma basis. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(c)(1), the balance
sheets included in the Financial Statements do not reflect any material write-up
or revaluation not separately identified increasing the book value of any assets
other than write-ups or revaluations made in the ordinary course of business,
nor have there been any transactions since May 31, 2003 giving rise to any such
material special or nonrecurring income or any such material write-up or
revaluation other than those made in the ordinary course of business.

                            (2) Certain Changes. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.1(c)(2), since May 31, 2003 there has not been, occurred or arisen any change
in or event affecting the Acquired Entities and/or

ACS Defense that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually
or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and neither any Acquired Entity
nor ACS Defense has suffered any material loss, damage, destruction or other
casualty to any of their tangible assets that were not replaced or covered by
insurance.

                            (3) No Other Liabilities. None of the Acquired
Entities or ACS Defense has incurred any liabilities, whether accrued,
contingent or otherwise, in excess of $1,000,000, that would be required in
accordance with GAAP (employing the accounting principles, policies, practices
and methods of the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense, as applicable) to be
disclosed on the Financial Statements, except liabilities (i) that are reflected
or disclosed in the Financial Statements, (ii) that are disclosed in this
Agreement, any Related Agreement or in matters set forth on the Schedules hereto
or thereto, (iii) that were incurred after May 31, 2003 in the ordinary course
of business and that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) for Taxes.

                  (d)      TAX RETURNS.

                           (1) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(d)(1), all
Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of the Acquired Entities or ACS
Defense have been duly and timely filed, such Tax Returns are complete and
accurate in all material respects, and all Taxes shown to be payable on such Tax
Returns have been paid in full on a timely basis, other than Taxes being
contested in good faith. The Acquired Entities and ACS Defense have withheld and
paid all amounts required to be paid or withheld with respect to their
employees. There are no Encumbrances with respect to any Taxes upon any of the
assets or properties of any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense, other than Permitted
Encumbrances. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(d)(1), no material issue
relating to Taxes of the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense has been raised by any
Tax Authority in any audit or examination which could result in a proposed
adjustment or assessment by a Governmental Entity with respect to a
Pre-Effective Date Tax Period. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(d)(1), no
audit or other proceeding by any Governmental Entity has formally commenced and
no written notification has been given to Seller, the Acquired Entities or ACS
Defense that such an audit or other proceeding is pending or threatened with
respect to any Taxes due from the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense or any Tax
Return filed by or with respect to any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense. Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.1(d)(1): (i) no assessment of Tax has been proposed
against the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense or any of their assets or
properties and (ii) none of Seller, the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense has
waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension
of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency or been notified in
writing of, any change or proposed change of accounting method.

                           (2) As of the Closing, no Acquired Entity will be a
party to, be bound by or have any obligation under, any Tax sharing agreement or
similar contract or agreement dealing principally with Taxes. None of the
Acquired Entities is or has been a United States real property holding
corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the
applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code. Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.1(d)(2), none of the Acquired Entities is or has been a
member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal Income Tax Return
(other than a group of which ACS is the common parent) and no claim for
liability has been asserted against the Acquired Entities for the Taxes of any
Person pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any similar
provision of state, local, or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by
contract or otherwise, which claim has not been finally resolved, with all
required payments having been made, as of the date hereof. None of the assets of
the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense are treated as "tax-exempt use property"
within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code or directly or indirectly
secures any debt the interest on which is tax-exempt under Section 103(a) of the
Code. Neither the Acquired Entities nor ACS Defense: (i) has submitted a request
for a private letter ruling (or comparable procedure under state or local law)
to the IRS or any state, local or foreign Tax Authority, which request has not
yet been issued or

<PAGE>

denied; (ii) has disposed of any property in a transaction being accounted for
under the installment method pursuant to Section 453 of the Code; (iii) has
agreed to, or is required to include in income, any adjustment pursuant to
Section 482 of the Code (or similar provision of other law or regulations) (nor,
to the knowledge of Seller, the Acquired Entities, or ACS Defense, has any Tax
Authority proposed, or is any Tax Authority considering, any such adjustment);
or (iv) is or has been required to make a basis reduction pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1502-20(b) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-2(b). No
state or federal "net operating loss" of the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense
determined as of the Closing Date is subject to limitation on its use pursuant
to Section 382 of the Code or comparable provisions of state law as a result of
any "ownership change" within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Code or
comparable provisions of any state law occurring prior to the Closing Date.

                  (e)      MATERIAL CONTRACTS.

                           (1) Schedule 3.1(e)(1) contains a list, as of the
date of this Agreement (except for clauses (i) and (ii) below which list shall
be as of July 18, 2003), of each Contract other than a Government Contract (each
of which, together with the real estate leases listed on Schedule 3.1(f)(1)
shall be deemed a "Material Contract"), to which any Acquired Entity or ACS
Defense is a party or to which any Acquired Entity, ACS Defense or any of their
respective properties is subject or by which any thereof is bound that:

                           (i) obligates any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense to

                           (ii) relates to the sale of goods and/or the

                           (iii) limits or restricts the ability of any Acquired
         Entity or ACS Defense to compete or otherwise to conduct the Business
         in any material manner or place;

                           (iv) involves an obligation for borrowed money,
         constitutes a capital lease, or provides for a guaranty or surety or
         Financial Support Arrangement by any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense in
         respect of any Person other than any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense;

                           (v) creates a partnership, limited liability company
         or joint venture;

                           (vi) involves commitments to make capital
         expenditures or purchases or sales of assets involving $250,000 or more

                           (viii) contains restrictions with respect to payment
         of dividends or any other distribution in respect of capital stock;

                           (ix) relates to any loan or advance to, or investment
         in, any Person or to the making of any such loan, advance or investment
         in each case involving an amount in excess of $50,000;

                           (x) involves indemnity obligations or obligations to
         perform material services arising out of a divestiture or acquisition
         by an Acquired Entity or ACS Defense;

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               18                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

                           (xi) relates to any license, sublicense or other
         agreement or arrangement in respect of Intellectual Property, excluding
         commercial "off the shelf" software, in excess of $250,000 annually; or

                           (xii) which otherwise constitute a Material Contract
         and which require a third-party's consent to the assignment or change
         of control of such Contract.

Material Contracts shall be deemed not to include matters listed in Schedule
3.1(s)(other than the Leases cross referenced on Schedule 3.1(s) and the
subcontracts listed on Schedule 3.1(s)).

                           (2) True copies of each of the Material Contracts,
including all substantive amendments, waivers and modifications thereto, have
been made available to Buyer. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(e)(2), each
Material Contract is valid and in full force and effect according to its terms,
and the Acquired Entities that are parties thereto, and ACS Defense, if a party
thereto, have performed any accrued obligations thereunder and are not in
default or breach under any such Material Contract, and have not received any
formal cure notices under any such Material Contract or any written allegation
of an intention to terminate or cancel any such Material Contract (other than
notices that have been rescinded), except where such failure to be in full force
and effect or default or breach would not, individually or in the aggregate, be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(e)(2), consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will not (and will not give any Person a right to) terminate or modify
any rights or obligations of any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense (including
payment of fees) under any Material Contract, except for any of the foregoing
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

                           (3) Between July 18, 2003 and the date hereof,
neither any Acquired Entity nor ACS Defense has entered into any Material
Contract other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
practice.

                  (f)      REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY; TITLE TO PROPERTY;
LEASES.

                           (1) Schedule 3.1(f)(1) lists each interest in real
property owned or leased by an Acquired Entity or ACS Defense, including the
location thereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(f)(1), each of the
Acquired Entities and ACS Defense has good and marketable title to or other
right to use, free of Encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances, (a) all
of its respective items of real property material to the Business, including
fees, leaseholds, contractual rights and all other interests in such real
property, and (b) such other tangible assets and properties that are material to
the Business, including all such tangible assets that they purport to own or
have the right to use as reflected in the Financial Statements or that were
thereafter acquired (the "Property"), except, in any such case, for (i) matters
described in Schedule 3.1(f)(1), and (ii) assets and Properties not material to
the Business that were disposed of since May 31, 2003 in the ordinary course of
business. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(f)(1), other than services
provided on site at governmental instrumentalities with whom an Acquired Entity
or ACS Defense is a party to a Contract, the Business is not conducted on a day
to day basis and neither any Acquired Entity nor ACS Defense makes any payments
for the use of space at any location that it does not own or lease. The tangible
Properties of the Acquired Entities and ACS Defense that are material to the
Business are adequate to conduct the Business in all material respects as
currently conducted. The material leasehold properties held by any Acquired
Entity or ACS Defense as lessee or sublessee are held under valid leases in full
force and effect pursuant to their terms, subject only to such exceptions as are
not, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Business. To the
knowledge of Seller and except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(f)(1), the current
operation and use of the Property by the Acquired Entities and ACS Defense does
not violate in any material respect any Law now in effect. On

the Closing Date, the owned Property will not be subject to any Encumbrance
securing indebtedness for borrowed money. There are no condemnation proceedings
pending with respect to any owned Property and, to the knowledge of Seller, no
condemnation proceedings are threatened with respect to any owned Property. At
the Closing, subject to any qualifications or limitations set forth in any
representation or warranty in Section 3.1 hereof, such changes as shall be
permitted after the date hereof in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof and the
receipt of all Approvals and all required third party consents, (i) the Acquired
Entities will continue to hold such title, right and interest in, to or under
their assets as the Acquired Entities currently hold (other than the Excluded
Assets) and (ii) Newco or ACS Government, as applicable, shall acquire from ACS
Defense such title, right and interest in, to or under the assets of ACS Defense
(other than the Retained Assets) as ACS Defense currently holds, in each case,
free and clear of any Encumbrance except for Permitted Encumbrances.

                           (2) All leases, subleases or other material
agreements or arrangements (including the Seller Leases) with respect to the
real property owned or leased by any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense, including
all amendments, modifications and guarantees in connection therewith, which
currently pertain to the Business are disclosed on Schedule 3.1(f)(1) (the
"Leases"). The Acquired Entities and ACS Defense have paid all rents and other
charges to the extent due and payable under the Leases, except as otherwise
disclosed on Schedule 3.1(f)(2).

                           (3) Taking into account the transactions contemplated
by Section 2.4 and without limiting any of the other representations and
warranties in this Agreement, the tangible and real property owned or leased by
the Acquired Entities and the Intellectual Property owned or licensed by the
Acquired Entities, in each case, on the Closing Date, shall be collectively
sufficient to conduct the Business in the manner conducted immediately prior to
the Closing Date by the Acquired Entities and ACS Defense, except that it is
acknowledged by Buyer that the Acquired Entities will not as of the Closing Date
own (i) such assets as are used by ACS and its Affiliates (other than the
Acquired Entities and ACS Defense) in the provision of corporate services (such
as financial reporting, treasury, tax compliance, risk management, payroll, cash
management, human resources and benefits administration, legal, information
technology, corporate sponsored training, group purchasing and other similar
services provided by ACS to its operating Subsidiaries) to the Acquired
Entities, (ii) such assets as are obtained by the Acquired Entities pursuant to
Contracts (or which are owned by parties providing services to the Acquired
Entities pursuant thereto) to which the Acquired Entities will be a party
immediately following the Closing Date (or which will be Restricted Contracts),
and (iii) such assets as are provided by customers of the Acquired Entities to

Person is a party will not require any Approvals or consents of third parties to
be obtained or give rise to any rights of termination of any Material Contract,
except for any such Approvals, consents of third parties or rights of
termination the failure of which to receive would not, individually or in the
aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or have a
material adverse effect on the ability of ACS or Holdco to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (i)      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

                  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(i) or as reserved on the
May 31, 2003 balance sheet referred to in Section 3.1(c)(1), there is no Order
or Action pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened in writing against
or affecting any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense that (i) involves a claim or
potential claim of liability in excess of $250,000 against or negatively
affecting any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense or any of such Acquired Entity's or
ACS Defense's properties or assets, (ii) enjoins or seeks to enjoin any
significant activity by any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense if such injunction
constitutes, or if entered would be reasonably expected to have, individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) individually or when
aggregated with one or more other Orders or Actions has had or would reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on ACS's or Holdco's ability to
perform this Agreement or on the ability of ACS, Holdco, the Acquired Entities,
ACS Defense or the Seller Transferee Subsidiary, to the extent a party thereto,
to perform any Related Agreement.

                  (j)      LABOR MATTERS.

                  There is no organized labor strike, dispute, slowdown or
stoppage, or collective bargaining or unfair labor practice claim pending or, to
the knowledge of Seller, threatened against or affecting any Acquired Entity,
ACS Defense or the Business that would be reasonably expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and there has not
been any organized labor strike, dispute, slowdown or stoppage, or collective
bargaining or unfair labor practice claim that would be reasonably expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set
forth on Schedule 3.1(j), none of the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense is a
party to a collective bargaining agreement or other similar Contract. To the
knowledge of Seller, except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(j), no labor
organization, collective bargaining representative or group of employees claims

Within the last two years prior to the date hereof, neither any Acquired Entity
nor ACS Defense has been the subject of any representational campaign by any
union or other organization or group seeking to become the collective bargaining
representative of any Acquired Entity's or ACS Defense's employees or been
subject to or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened with any strike or other
concerted labor activity or dispute.

against by companies in similar lines of business, and all of the insurance
policies and bonds required to be maintained by the Acquired Entities or ACS
Defense are in full force and effect.

                  (l)      PERMITS.

or ACS Defense hold all Permits that are required by any Governmental Entity to
permit each of them to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, and
all such Permits are valid and in full force and effect, subject to the filings
and Approvals contemplated by Section 4.3, except where the failure to hold any
such Permit or for such Permit to be in full force and effect would not,
individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to materially and
adversely affect the ability of the Acquired Entities to conduct the Business as
it is currently conducted. To the knowledge of Seller, no suspension,
cancellation or termination of any of such Permits is threatened or imminent
that would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the ability
of the Acquired Entities to conduct the Business as it is currently conducted.

                  (m)      COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

                  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(m), the Acquired Entities

Laws, except for violations of applicable Laws which would not reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
It is the intent of the Parties that this representation and warranty is not
applicable to matters relating to Taxes, employee benefit matters, environmental
matters or Government Contract matters, which are the subject of Sections
3.1(d), 3.1(n), 3.1(r) and 3.1(u), respectively.

                           (1) Schedule 3.1(n)(1) lists (and identifies the
sponsor of) as of the date hereof (i) each "employee pension benefit plan," as
that term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, (ii) each "employee welfare
benefit plan," as that term is defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA (such plans
being hereinafter referred to collectively as the "ERISA Plans"), and (iii) each
other material incentive compensation, bonus, stock option, stock purchase,
severance pay, unemployment benefit, vacation pay, health, life or other
insurance, fringe benefit, or other employee benefit plan, program, agreement or
arrangement, maintained or contributed to as of the date hereof by ACS or its
Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense) in respect of or for
the benefit of any employee of any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense (an
"Employee") or any former Employee with respect to service for an Acquired
Entity or ACS Defense (collectively, together with the ERISA Plans, referred to
hereinafter as the "Plans").

                           (2) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(n)(2), with
respect to the ERISA Plans:

                           (i)      none of ACS or any of its Affiliates
         (including any Acquired Entity), any of the ERISA Plans, any trust
         created thereunder, or any trustee or administrator thereof, has
         engaged in any transaction as a result of which any Acquired Entity or
         ACS Defense would reasonably be expected to be subject to any liability
         pursuant to Section 409 of ERISA or to either a civil penalty assessed
         pursuant to Section 502(i) or (l) of ERISA or a Tax imposed pursuant to
         Section 4975 of the Code, excluding any liability, penalty or Tax that
         would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
         have a Material Adverse Effect; and

                           (ii)     since the effective date of ERISA, no
         liability under Title IV of ERISA has been incurred by any Acquired
         Entity or ACS Defense (other than liability for premiums due to the
         PBGC) unless such liability has been, or prior to the Closing Date will
         be, satisfied in full.

                           (3) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(n)(3), with
respect to ERISA Plans:

<PAGE>

                           (i)      each of such ERISA Plans has been operated
         and administered in substantial compliance with all material provisions
         of the governing documents and with all material provisions of
         applicable Laws; and

                           (ii)     each of such ERISA Plans that is intended to
         be "qualified" within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code has
         been determined by the IRS to be so qualified, and nothing has occurred
         since the date of the most recent such determination (other than the
         effective date of certain amendments to the Code, the remedial
         amendment period for which has not yet expired) that would adversely
         affect the qualified status of any of such ERISA Plans.

                           (4) None of the ERISA Plans is a "multiemployer
plan," as that term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.

                           (5) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(n)(5), the
execution of, and performance of the transactions contemplated in, this
Agreement will not alone result in any payment (whether of severance pay or
otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution,
increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any
employee, officer or director of any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense which shall
be a liability of any Acquired Entity. The only severance agreements or
severance policies applicable to any Acquired Entity in the event of a change in
control of any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense are the agreements and policies
specifically referred to in Schedule 3.1(n)(5).

                           (6) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(n)(6),
neither any Acquired Entity nor ACS Defense is the plan sponsor of any ERISA
Plan.

                           (7) There are no agreements which will provide
payments to any officer, employee or highly compensated individual which (a)
will be "parachute payments" under Section 280G or 4999 of the Code for which
Buyer, any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense would have withholding liability or
that would result in loss of tax deductions under Section 280G of the Code or
(b) would result in loss of tax deductions under Section 162(m) of the Code.

                           (8) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(n)(8) (with
respect to a retiree medical plan sponsored by ACS, and under which liability,
if any, would remain with ACS) and except for liability to provide coverage
under the continuation of coverage provisions of Section 4980B of the Code and
Sections 601 - 608 of ERISA ("COBRA"), neither ACS, its Affiliates nor any
representatives of ACS or its Affiliates has made any commitments prior to the
Closing to provide retiree medical benefits to any Transferred Employee.

                           (9) Seller has delivered to Buyer for the Government
Services Savings Plan and each of the Transferred Welfare Plans, copies of the
following documents: (i) the Form 5500 filed in each of the most recent three
plan years, including but not limited to all schedules thereto and financial
statements with attached opinions of independent accountants, (ii) the most
recent determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, (iii) the
consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of the most recent valuation
date, and (iv) the statement of changes in fund balance and in financial
position or the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the most recently ended plan year. The financial statements so delivered fairly
present the financial condition and the results of operations of each such plan
as of such dates in accordance with GAAP.

                           (10) All obligations of the Acquired Entities under
the Plans (x) that are due prior to the Closing Date have been paid or will be
paid prior to that date and in a timely fashion, and (y) that have accrued prior
to the Closing Date have been or will be paid or properly accrued at that time.

<PAGE>

                           (11) No insurance policy or other Contract affecting
any of the Plans permits a retroactive increase in premiums or payments due
thereunder.

                           (12) As in effect at the time of the Closing, the
Acquired Entity that sponsors the Government Services Savings Plan and the
Transferred Welfare Plans shall have the right to amend, terminate or merge such
plans or to transfer the assets of such plans.

                           (13) Each of the Acquired Entities and ACS Defense
have classified all individuals who perform services for them correctly under
the Plans, ERISA and the Code as common law employees, independent contractors
or leased employees except for incorrect classifications which would not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect.

                           (14) The Acquired Entities and ACS Defense are in
full compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA (as amended through the
date of this Agreement), the regulations and published authorities thereunder,
and all other applicable Laws with respect to the Plans. ACS, the Acquired
Entities and ACS Defense have performed all of their respective obligations
under the Plans. There are no actions (other than routine claims for benefits)
pending or threatened against such plans or their assets, or arising out of the
Plans, and except as disclosed on Schedule 3.1(n)(14), all of the Plans have
been operated in compliance with their terms.

                  (o)      INTERCOMPANY OBLIGATIONS.

                  Other than as contemplated by Section 4.4, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (either alone, or upon
the occurrence of any act or event, or with the lapse of time, or both) result
in any payment arising or becoming due from any Acquired Entity to ACS or any
Affiliate of ACS other than an Acquired Entity, except for payments arising or
otherwise becoming due pursuant to the Master Purchase Agreement and Transition
Services Agreements.

                  (p)      NO BROKERS OR FINDERS.

                  No agent, broker, finder, or investment or commercial banker,
or other Person or firm engaged by or acting on behalf of ACS or any of its
Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities and ACS Defense) in connection with
the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, is or will be entitled to any broker's or
finder's or similar fee or other commission arising in connection with this
Agreement or such transactions. ACS shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and
its related Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses, claims,
demands, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, Buyer or its related Indemnified Parties may sustain or incur as a
result of any claim for a commission or fee by a broker or finder acting on
behalf of ACS, any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense. The foregoing indemnification
obligations shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5.

                  (q)      OPERATION IN THE ORDINARY COURSE.

                  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(q), since May 31, 2003,
the Acquired Entities and ACS Defense have operated the Business in the ordinary
course and in all material respects in accordance with past practice, other than
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, except for any of the
foregoing as would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the
aggregate, in material liability under or relating to the Environmental Laws.
Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(r), neither any Acquired Entity nor ACS
Defense has received any Environmental Claim, and, to the knowledge of Seller,
there is no Environmental Claim threatened in writing. Except as set forth in
Schedule 3.1(r), no Acquired Entity or ACS Defense has entered into, has agreed
to be subject to, or is subject to as a party in any Environmental Claim
received by any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense, any material Order of any
Governmental Entity under or relating to any Environmental Laws. Except as set

released by any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense at, on, from or under any of the
properties or facilities currently or formerly (within the past two years)
owned, leased or otherwise used by any Acquired Entity, in material violation
of, or in a manner or to a location that would reasonably be expected to give
rise to any material Environmental Liability or liability of ACS Defense that
would have constituted a material Environmental Liability if it was a liability
of an Acquired Entity. Each Acquired Entity and ACS Defense has maintained all
logs required to be maintained by them pursuant to regulations of the U.S.
Occupational Safety & Health Administration.

                  (s)      AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS.

human resources and benefits administration, legal, information technology,
corporate sponsored training, group purchasing and other similar services
provided by ACS to its operating Subsidiaries.

                  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the Related Agreements to which it is a party by Buyer have been duly and
validly authorized by the Board of Directors of Buyer and by all other necessary
corporate action on the part of Buyer. This Agreement and, when executed, the

except for any such Approvals and consents of third parties the failure of which

effect on the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

                  (c)      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

                  There is no Order or Action pending or, to the knowledge of
Buyer, threatened in writing against or affecting Buyer that individually or

perform this Agreement or any Related Agreement to which it is a party.

                  (d)      COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

                  Buyer is operating its business in compliance with all
applicable Laws, except for violations of applicable Laws which (i) would not,
singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of Buyer or (ii) would not reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on Buyer's ability to perform this
Agreement.

                  (e)      NO BROKERS OR FINDERS.

business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its
investments hereunder. Buyer is acquiring the Stock from Seller for its own
account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the distribution
thereof. Buyer agrees that the Stock will not be sold, transferred, offered for
sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without registration under
the Securities Act, except pursuant to a valid exemption from registration under
the Securities Act.

                  (h)      INVESTIGATION; ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

software, technology and prospects of the Acquired Entities (other than Newco)
and ACS Defense and acknowledges that Buyer has been provided reasonable access
to the personnel, properties, premises and records of the Acquired Entities
(other than Newco) and ACS Defense for such review and analysis. Except for the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges
that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates nor any other Person makes any
other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Stock,
the Acquired Entities, ACS Defense, the Business or assets of the Acquired
Entities or ACS Defense or otherwise or with respect to any other information
provided to Buyer, whether on behalf of Seller or such other Persons, including
as to (a) merchantability or fitness for any particular use or purpose, (b) the
operation of the Business by Buyer after the Closing in any manner other than as
used and operated by Seller or (c) the probable success or profitability of the
ownership, use or operation of the Business or assets of the Acquired Entities
or ACS Defense by Buyer after the Closing. Without limiting the representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement, Buyer is not relying on and neither
Seller nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or
indemnification obligation to Buyer or any other Person resulting from the
distribution to Buyer, or Buyer's use of, any such information, related to the
Business and any information, projections, documents or material made available
to Buyer in certain "data rooms," management presentations, "break-out"
discussions, responses to questions submitted on behalf of Buyer, whether orally
or in writing, or in any other form in expectation or furtherance of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

privilege, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, including the Acquired
Entities and ACS Defense to, authorize and permit Buyer and its representatives
(which term shall be deemed to include its independent accountants and counsel)
to have reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice

4.1(a)) and in such manner as will not unreasonably interfere with the conduct
of the Business, to (i) their respective properties, books, records, operating
instructions and procedures and all other information with respect to the
Business as Buyer may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) their
officers and employees, in each case to the extent necessary or appropriate for
the purposes of obtaining any necessary Approvals of or Permits for the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and familiarizing Buyer with
developments relating to the Business; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 4.1 shall obligate Seller or its Affiliates to provide Buyer with copies
of information of a more

directly to the Retained Task Orders, who are identified by Buyer. All such
activities described in this Section 4.1(b) shall be coordinated in advance
through Robert Stanton on behalf of Seller.

                  (c)      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, in no event shall Buyer's knowledge, either prior to the execution of
this Agreement or prior to the Closing, that any representation or warranty of
Seller contained in this Agreement, or made pursuant to any certificate or
Related Agreement delivered pursuant hereto, was not true and correct as of the
date hereof or thereof, as applicable, in any way limit (a) the right of Buyer
to assert such breach of a representation and warranty as a basis not to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (b) the right of
Buyer or any other Indemnified Party to assert such breach of a representation
and warranty as a basis for an indemnification claim under Section 9.1(a).

                  4.2      CONDUCT OF BUSINESS.

                  Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, from the date

dealings with them. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Acquired Entities and ACS Defense to maintain their assets in as good

designates the two officers of Buyer or its Affiliates listed on Schedule 4.2,
or such other officers as Buyer may designate upon written notice to Seller (the
"Buyer's representatives"), to be responsible for determining whether consent to
any action prohibited by this Section 4.2 shall be given by Buyer. Seller

hereby designates the two officers of Seller or its Affiliates listed on
Schedule 4.2 or such other officers as Seller may designate upon written notice
to Buyer (the "Seller's representatives"), to contact Buyer's representatives
with any requests for consent to any action prohibited by this Section 4.2.
Buyer's representatives shall respond promptly in writing to any request for
consent to the taking of any action under this Section 4.2 but in no event later
than 5:00 p.m. EST on the third business day following receipt of a request for
consent from Seller. If Buyer's representatives do not respond to any request by
such deadline, such consent will be deemed to have been given. Seller may rely
on any consent given in writing by either of Buyer's representatives. The time
periods within which Buyer's representatives must respond shall commence on the
date on which either of Buyer's representatives receives a written request for
consent.

                  4.3      REASONABLE EFFORTS; NO INCONSISTENT ACTION.

                  (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Buyer and
Seller shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and to cause the conditions to each other's
obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby as set forth in Article
VII to be satisfied. In addition, to the extent practical, each of Buyer and
Seller, or their counsel, as appropriate, will be given notice of and a
reasonable opportunity to participate in contacts with any Governmental Entity
regarding antitrust or merger control matters. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate
with each other to the extent commercially reasonable in connection with the
foregoing.

                  (b)      In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, Buyer and ACS shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to file
Notification and Report Forms under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and similar
applications with any other applicable Governmental Entity whose Approval is
required, or with which a premerger notification is required, in connection with
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly
as practicable following the date hereof and in any event no later than 20 days
following the date hereof. Buyer shall pay all filing fees associated with the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act filing. Buyer and Seller, and their respective Affiliates,
shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts (i) to
obtain any Approvals required for the Closing (including through compliance with
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and any applicable foreign governmental reporting
requirements), to respond to any requests for information from a Governmental
Entity, and (ii) to contest and resist any Action and to have vacated, lifted,
reversed or overturned any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent)
that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not
be required to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate (through the
establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets, or
businesses of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any Acquired Entity or its
Affiliates, or (ii) withdraw from doing business in a particular jurisdiction.
It is also understood that neither ACS nor any of ACS's Affiliates shall have
any obligations under this Section 4.3(b) to sell or otherwise dispose of, or
hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets
or categories of assets, or businesses of ACS and its Affiliates other than the
Business and the assets of the Acquired Entities and ACS Defense. To the extent
permitted by applicable Law, Buyer and Seller shall provide the other the
opportunity to make copies of all material correspondence, filings or
communications (or memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between such
party or its representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on
the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Any documents filed pursuant to Item 4(c) of the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Notification and Report Form or communications regarding the
same or documents or information submitted in response to any request for
additional information or documents pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act which
reveal Seller's or Buyer's, or their Affiliates', negotiating objectives or
strategies or purchase price expectations shall be retained by outside counsel
and shall not

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT                  36                   EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

be disclosed to such outside counsel's client, absent prior written consent of
the party that produced such material in the Hart-Scott-Rodino process. Buyer
and Seller acknowledge that all such information provided pursuant to the
foregoing sentence shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality
Agreement.

                  (c)      Buyer and Seller shall notify and keep the other
advised as to (i) any material communication from the Federal Trade Commission,
the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity
regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) any Action
pending and known to such party or, to its knowledge, threatened, which
challenges the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as provided herein,
Buyer and Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with their obligations
under this Agreement which would materially hinder or delay the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (d)      To the extent that any foreign Governmental Entity
requires one or both of the Parties to provide post-Closing notice of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Parties shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to the filing of
such notices.

                  (e)      Prior to the Closing, the Parties shall, and the
Parties shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain (and cooperate with the other Party hereto in
obtaining) all consents, permits, authorizations, approvals of, and exemptions
by, any private third party necessary for the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (including all consents required by the terms of
Contracts to which any Acquired Entity or ACS Defense is a party). The
commercially reasonable efforts required pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall not require either party to make any payment to any third-party.

                  (f)      Without limiting the generality of Section 4.3(e),
promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall initiate the
process of making requests for novation agreements to the extent necessary with
respect to the Government Contracts of the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense
under FAR Part 42, Subpart 42.12; provided, however, the Parties agree that it
shall not be a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement that such novation processes be complete.

                  (g)      Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and cause the
Acquired Entities to enter into new equipment leases in lieu of the equipment
leases set forth on Schedule 4.3(g) and with respect only to equipment (i)
currently leased under such equipment leases, and any replacements therefor in
the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, and (ii) that
is used by the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense (and which does not constitute
an Excluded Asset or Retained Asset). Such new leases shall be on terms no less
favorable to the Acquired Entities than the current terms of such leases are to
Seller and its Affiliates. To the extent that such replacement equipment leases
are not executed between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall
arrange to pass through the benefits of the equipment leases set forth on
Schedule 4.3(g) that relate to the Acquired Entities on the same terms as Seller
leases such equipment, with such equipment leases being treated as Restricted
Contracts to the extent related to the Business and the relationship of the
Parties with respect to such equipment leases accordingly being governed by
Section 5.8.

                  (h)      With respect to the Contracts set forth on Schedule
4.3(h), the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
third-parties to such Contracts to consent to the partial assignment, amendment,
modification or replication of the terms of such Contracts, so as to result in
the Acquired Entities being party to a Contract with such third-party containing
terms substantially similar, in the

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT                  37                   EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

aggregate, to the terms of such Contracts as they presently exist with respect
to the Business; provided, however, the Parties agree that no such consent is a
condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
except to the extent the failure to obtain the consent with respect to any such
Contract causes the condition set forth in Section 7.1(e) not to be satisfied.
To the extent that Seller or its Affiliates remain, or become, obligated under
such Contract, as partially assigned, amended, modified or replicated, Buyer
shall indemnify Seller and its related Indemnified Parties against any
Indemnifiable Losses resulting from Buyer's or its Affiliate's breach or other
nonperformance of such Contract, including through Buyer's indemnification of
Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(d), and Seller shall indemnify Buyer and its
related Indemnified Parties against any Indemnifiable Losses resulting from
Seller's or its Affiliate's breach or other nonperformance of such Contract,
including through Seller's indemnification of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(b)
(but shall not be subject to the limitations of Sections 9.4 or 9.5).

                  4.4      ELIMINATION OF INTERCOMPANY AND AFFILIATE
                           LIABILITIES.

                  Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall purchase, cause to be
repaid or (with respect to guarantees) assume liability for (a) any and all
Financial Support Arrangements by the Acquired Entities to or for the benefit of
any director, officer or employee of Seller or ACS Defense who is expected to
remain a director, officer or employee of Seller, ACS Defense, the Seller
Transferee Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates after the Closing Date and (b)
any and all Financial Support Arrangements of any amount made by an Acquired
Entity to or for the benefit of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller other than an
Acquired Entity, except as to clauses (a) and (b) above as set forth on Schedule
4.4; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall obtain a release of the guaranty
of ACS Government of the obligations under the ACS Credit Agreement and Seller
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a release of the
guaranty of each applicable Acquired Entity under past credit agreements of ACS,
to the extent that such prior credit agreements provide for the release of
guarantors and (ii) the Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2002,
to which ACS Government is a party, shall have been amended so as to terminate
the status as a party thereto of any Acquired Entity that is a party thereto.
Prior to the Closing Date, the principal amount of any intercompany loans
payable by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than an Acquired Entity) to
any Acquired Entity or by any Acquired Entity to Seller or any Affiliate of
Seller (other than an Acquired Entity) shall be cancelled.

                  4.5      CONTROL OF THE BUSINESS OF THE ACQUIRED ENTITIES.

                  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Buyer, directly
or indirectly, the right to control or direct any Acquired Entity's or ACS
Defense's operations prior to the Closing Date.

                  4.6      ACCURACY OF INFORMATION.

                  All documents required to be filed by any of the Parties or
any of their respective Subsidiaries with any Governmental Entity in connection
with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will
comply in all material respects with the provisions of applicable Law.

                  4.7      RELATED AGREEMENTS.

                  (a)      Prior to the Closing, Buyer and ACS shall negotiate
in good faith a Master Purchase Agreement (the "Master Purchase Agreement") with
respect to the Business pursuant to which, among other things, Buyer and its
Affiliates (on the one hand) and ACS and its Affiliates (on the other hand) will
each purchase and sell to the other the same services on the same terms and
conditions as set forth in (i) any intercompany Contracts in existence as of the
date hereof and listed on Schedule 3.1(s),

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT                  38                   EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

except for any of such agreements which expire between the date hereof and the
Closing Date in accordance with their current terms, and (ii) any intercompany
Contracts for the purchase of services by and between ACS and its Affiliates (on
the one hand) and an Acquired Entity or ACS Defense (other than with respect to
the Retained Business) (on the other hand), executed after the date hereof in
accordance with Section 4.2. Additionally, the Parties will use their
commercially reasonable efforts to complete the negotiation of the Master
Purchase Agreement within thirty (30) days of the date hereof.

                  (b)      Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall
negotiate in good faith the schedules of services to be provided pursuant to the
Transition Services Agreements with respect to the Business, if deemed
necessary, providing for (i) the provision of certain general services by the
Acquired Entities to the Seller Transferee Subsidiary and to ACS Defense, (ii)
if deemed necessary by Buyer, the provision of certain general services by ACS
and its Affiliates to the Acquired Entities and (iii) the provision of certain
benefits-related transition services by ACS and its Affiliates to the Acquired
Entities. The Transition Services Agreements with respect to general services
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E1 hereto and the Transition
Services Agreement with respect to benefits-related transition services shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit E2 hereto. Each of the Transition Services
Agreements shall be on commercially reasonable fair market economic terms with
administrative charges for services being equal to the providing Person's
administrative cost plus 10%. Additionally, the Parties will use their
commercially reasonable efforts to complete the negotiation of the schedules to
the Transition Services Agreements within forty five (45) days of the date
hereof.

                  (c)      Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall
negotiate in good faith the terms of subleases of the three leased facilities
where both the Business and other Affiliates of Seller are occupants, as
identified on Schedule 3.1(f)(1) (each a "Sublease Agreement" and, collectively,
the "Sublease Agreements"); provided, however, that Seller may determine not to
enter into a Sublease Agreement with respect to the Wakefield, Massachusetts
facility, in which case Seller shall cause all employees of the Retained
Business housed in such facility to vacate such facility on or before the 30th
day after Closing Date. Subject to the receipt of any necessary landlord
consents to any resulting assignment of any such lease, the sublessor under such
Sublease Agreements shall be the party which currently occupies the majority of
the space in such facilities. If any necessary landlord consents cannot be
obtained, the sublessor shall be the party which currently is the lessee under
the applicable lease. The terms and conditions, including the term, of the
Sublease Agreements shall be identical to the terms and conditions of the
underlying lease, except for necessary conforming changes, and the monthly rent
charged under such Sublease Agreement shall be equal to the portion of the
monthly rent borne as of the date hereof by the sublessee entity. Additionally,
the Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the
negotiation of the terms of the Sublease Agreements within forty five (45) days
of the date hereof.

                  (d)      Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall
negotiate in good faith the terms of a lease of that portion of the facility
owned by Seller or its Affiliate in Atlanta, Georgia that is currently occupied
by employees of the Acquired Entities as identified on Schedule 3.1(f)(1) (the
"Atlanta Lease"); provided, however, that Buyer may determine not to enter into
the Atlanta Lease, in which case Buyer shall cause all employees of the Acquired
Entities housed in such facility to vacate such facility on or before the 30th
day after the Closing Date. The monthly rent charged under the Atlanta Lease, if
applicable, shall be determined in good faith by the Parties based upon the fair
market rental for the square footage occupied by the Acquired Entities in such
facility. The term of the Atlanta Lease, if any, shall be six months from the
Closing Date with month-to-month extensions thereafter unless either party
provides not less than thirty (30) days notice of termination. Additionally, the
Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the
negotiation of the terms of the Atlanta Lease, if any, within forty five (45)
days of the date hereof.

                  (e)      Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall
negotiate in good faith the terms of a lease of that portion of the data center
located on the owned Property that is currently used in connection with the
performance of the business related to the Excluded Assets (the "Data Center
Lease"); provided, however, that Seller may determine not to enter into the Data
Center Lease, in which case Seller shall cause all use of the data center and
all employees housed therein to vacate such facility on or before the 30th day
after the Closing Date. The monthly rent charged under the Data Center Lease, if
applicable, shall be determined in good faith by the Parties based upon the fair
market rental for the square footage occupied by the Acquired Entities in such
facility. The term of the Data Center Lease, if any, shall extend from the
Closing Date through June 30, 2004 with month-to-month extension thereafter
unless either party provides not less than thirty (30) days notice of
termination; provided, however, that Seller may terminate the Data Center Lease
prior to June 30, 2004, but on not less than thirty (30) days notice to Buyer.
Additionally, the Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the negotiation of the terms of the Data Center Lease, if any, within
forty five (45) days of the date hereof.

                  (f)      On the Closing Date, ACS and Buyer shall enter into
the Limited Noncompetition Agreement and Seller shall cause Newco or ACS
Government, as applicable, and ACS Defense to enter into the ACS Defense
Subcontract Agreement. Without limiting the requirements of Section 7.2(h) or
Section 7.3(f), if Buyer and Seller agree on the terms of the Master Purchase
Agreement, the Transition Services Agreements, the Sublease Agreements and, if
applicable, the Atlanta Lease and the Data Center Lease, Buyer and Seller, or
their Affiliates, as applicable, shall enter into such Related Agreements on the
Closing Date.

                  4.8      GOOD STANDING CERTIFICATES.

                  Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver to Buyer, within twenty (20) days after the date hereof, certified
copies of good standing certificates, or equivalent documents, with respect to
each Acquired Entity and issued by the Secretary of State or equivalent
authority of each state in which such Acquired Entity is either organized or
qualified to do business. To the extent that any such good standing certificate
is unavailable on account of the failure of any Acquired Entity to pay any Tax
or to file any required report, Seller shall cause such matter to be resolved in
a manner which permits the issuance of a good standing certificate as promptly
as practicable and shall promptly following receipt of such good standing
certificate provide a certified copy thereof to Buyer.

                  4.9      ADDITIONAL MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND GOVERNMENT
                           CONTRACTS.

                  Not later than the 30th day after the date of this Agreement,
Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of (i) each Material Contract meeting the

entered into between June 30, 2003 and the date hereof.

and (y) pay all accounts payable strictly in accordance with past practice. Both
Seller and Buyer shall have complete access to the Acquired Entities and ACS
Defense to monitor the Acquired Entities' and ACS Defense's activities with
respect to such collections and payments during the period between the Effective
Date and the Closing Date.

                  4.11     TRADEMARK AND DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATIONS. Seller shall

request (at Seller's expense) and without necessity of subpoena, Buyer will
cause the Acquired Entities and their representatives and counsel to cooperate
fully with Seller and their representatives and counsel for purposes of
permitting Seller to address and respond to matters involving Seller that arise
as a result of or otherwise relate to Seller's prior ownership of the Acquired

Defense that are retained by Seller and any claims made by or against Seller or
any of its Affiliates, whether involving any Governmental Entity or third party.

                  (b)      After the Closing Date, upon Buyer's reasonable

Affiliates and their representatives and counsel will cooperate with Buyer, the

whether or not related to this Agreement, including any claims made by or
against the Acquired Entities, or Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether
involving any Governmental Entity or third party.

                  (a)      After the Closing, except as required by applicable
Law or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement and upon reasonable advance
notice to Buyer, neither Seller nor any of its representatives, agents or
Affiliates shall, at any time, make use of, divulge or otherwise disclose,
directly or indirectly, any Business Proprietary Information, unless such

                  5.3      LEGAL PRIVILEGES.

                  Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that all
attorney-client, work product and other legal privileges that may exist with
respect to the Acquired Entities prior to the Closing shall, from and after the
Closing Date, be deemed to be joint privileges of Seller and Buyer. Both Seller
and Buyer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing Date
to preserve all such privileges and neither Seller nor Buyer shall knowingly
waive any such privilege without the prior written consent of the other Party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

                  5.4      TAX MATTERS.

                  (a)      Tax Returns. Seller shall timely and accurately file
or cause to be filed (i) all Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to
the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) all
Income Tax Returns for all Pre-Effective Date Tax Periods (other than Income Tax
Returns for Tax periods that include but do not end on the Closing Date), and
all such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past
practices, including previously adopted tax accounting methods, except as
required by applicable Law. Buyer shall be responsible for the timely
preparation and filing of all Tax Returns of the Acquired Entities other than
those Tax Returns that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to the
preceding sentence. In the case of Income Tax Returns for Tax periods that
include but do not end on the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare such Tax Returns
in a manner consistent with past practices, including previously adopted tax
accounting methods, except as required by applicable Law.

                  (b)      Indemnification by Seller. Provided Buyer has
complied with Sections 5.4(d) and 5.4(e) (although Buyer's non-compliance with
Section 5.4(e) shall not relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder except to
the extent that such non-compliance has prejudiced Seller), Seller shall pay and
be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its related
Indemnified Parties from and against Taxes of Seller, the Acquired Entities and
ACS Defense for any Pre-Effective Date Tax Period (including (i) Taxes (which
for this purpose includes contractual obligations to pay Taxes, reimbursements,
and similar payments with respect to Taxes) of other Persons, including
employees of the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense, for which Seller, the
Acquired Entities or ACS Defense are liable and (ii) any Taxes attributable to
intercompany gains (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13)
that arise due to transactions described in Section 2.4 or any other transaction
occurring prior to the Closing) (the "Intercompany Gains"); provided that no
obligation for which indemnification is due under this Section 5.4(b) shall be
included as a liability for purposes of determining the Final Working Capital
Amount. The Parties shall treat all Intercompany Gains as occurring in a
Pre-Effective Date Tax

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT                  42                   EXECUTION VERSION
<PAGE>

Period, and Seller shall indemnify Buyer for all Taxes attributable to such
Intercompany Gains. Seller shall be entitled to all refunds and credits
(including interest thereon) of all Taxes for any Pre-Effective Date Tax Period;
provided, however, Seller shall not be entitled to any such Tax refund or credit
with respect to a Tax to the extent that (i) such Tax was included as a cost in
a cost-reimbursement or fixed-price incentive (cost-redeterminable) Government
Contract and (ii) Seller's indemnification obligations otherwise provided in
this Agreement do not compensate Buyer for the adverse effect of the
redetermination of such Tax. In the event Seller is liable for Taxes under this
Section 5.4(b), Seller shall reimburse Buyer and the Acquired Entities for any
reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by them in assisting with
the defense of a claim for such Taxes or a claim for refund thereof. With
respect to any Tax period that includes but does not end on the Effective Date,
Taxes for the Pre-Effective Date Tax Period shall be determined as if such Tax
period actually ended on the Effective Date and included the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that ad valorem Taxes shall
be pro-rated on a daily basis through the Effective Date.

                  (c)      Indemnification by Buyer. Provided Seller has
complied with Section 5.4(e) (although Seller's non-compliance with Section
5.4(e) shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder except to the extent
that such non-compliance has prejudiced Buyer), Buyer shall pay and be
responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its related
Indemnified Parties from and against all Taxes payable by or with respect to the
Acquired Entities (together with reasonable attorneys' fees and any legal or
other expenses for investigating or defending any actions with respect to Taxes)
other than (i) those Taxes for which Seller is responsible under Section 5.4(b)
and (ii) all Taxes which relate to the ownership or operations of an Excluded
Asset or Retained Asset. Buyer shall be entitled to all refunds and credits
(including interest thereon) of all Taxes for any Post-Effective Date Tax
Period.

                  (d)      Control of Certain Tax Contests by Seller. Seller
shall have exclusive control over and responsibility to conduct any audit and
contest with respect to any Tax for which Seller might be liable under Section
5.4(b) (including any claim for refund to which Seller may be entitled). In any
such audit or contest (including a claim for refund), Buyer will take, and will
cause the Acquired Entities to take, such action as Seller may by written notice
reasonably request in connection with such audit or contest (including execution
of powers of attorney). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a
potential adjustment of Taxes of the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense for which
both Seller and Buyer could be liable, or which involves an issue that recurs in
a period ending after the Effective Date (whether or not the subject of audit at
such time), (i) both Buyer and Seller may participate at their own expense in
the audit or proceeding and (ii) the audit or proceeding shall be controlled by
that Party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of the
adjustment and any corresponding adjustments that may reasonably be anticipated
for a future Tax period. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall enter into any
compromise or agree to settle any claim pursuant to any Tax audit or proceeding
that would adversely affect the other Party for such year or a subsequent year
without the written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld.

                  (e)      Notice. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing promptly
upon receipt by the Acquired Entities of oral or written notice of any audit,
contest or assessment with respect to any Tax for which Seller might be liable
under Section 5.4(b). Seller shall notify Buyer in writing promptly upon receipt
by Seller of oral or written notice of any audit, contest or assessment with
respect to any Tax for which Buyer might be liable under Section 5.4(c).

                  (f)      Payment of Indemnification. Upon payment of any Taxes
with respect to which a Party is entitled to receive indemnification hereunder,
such Party shall submit an invoice to the Indemnifying Party stating that such
Taxes have been paid and giving in reasonable detail the particulars relating
thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall remit payment for such Taxes promptly upon
receipt of such notice. Upon receipt by a Party (or an Affiliate of such Party)
of a refund or credit to which another

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT                  43                   EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

Party is entitled hereunder, the Party or Affiliate receiving such refund or
credit shall promptly remit payment of such refund or credit amount (plus
interest received thereon) to the Party entitled to receive it.

                  (g)      Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date,
each of Seller and Buyer (together with their respective Affiliates), at their
own cost and expense, shall reasonably:

                           (1)      assist the other Party in preparing any Tax
Returns and statements which such other Party is responsible for preparing and
filing;

                           (2)      cooperate fully in preparing for any Tax
audits of, or disputes, contests or proceedings with, taxing authorities
regarding any Taxes;

                           (3)      make available to the other and to any Tax
Authority as reasonably requested all information, records and documents
relating to Tax liabilities that are attributable to the Acquired Entities or
ACS Defense and relate to or affect periods beginning prior to the Effective
Date;

                           (4)      preserve all such information, records and
documents until the expiration of any applicable statues of limitations or
extensions thereof and as otherwise required by law;

                           (5)      make available to the other, as reasonably
requested, personnel responsible for preparing or maintaining information,
records and documents in connection with Tax matters;

                           (6)      furnish the other with copies of all
correspondence received from any Tax Authority in connection with any Tax audit
or information request attributable to the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense with
respect to any Pre-Effective Date Tax Period;

                           (7)      keep confidential any information obtained
pursuant to this Section 5.4(g), except as may otherwise be necessary in
connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting
any audit or other Tax proceeding; and

                           (8)      furnish the other with adequate information
that would enable the other Party to determine its entitlement to, and the
amount of, any refund or credit to which either Party reasonably believes the
other Party may be entitled.

                  (h)      Tax Changes. Without the prior written consent of
Seller, neither Buyer nor the Acquired Entities, nor any Affiliate of Buyer
shall, to the extent it may affect or relate to the Acquired Entities, make or
change any Tax election, change any annual Tax accounting, file any amended Tax
Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment,
surrender any right to claim a Tax refund, consent to any extension or waiver of
the limitations period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment or take or omit
to take any other action, if any such action or omission could reasonably be
expected to have the effect of increasing the Pre-Effective Date Tax Period Tax
liability of Seller (including Seller's liability hereunder).

                  (i)      Tax Sharing Agreement. All Tax sharing and similar
agreements (other than the provisions of this Agreement) between the Acquired
Entities, on the one hand, and Seller or any other corporation or corporations,
on the other hand, shall be terminated on the Effective Date, and none of the
Acquired Entities shall have liability from and after the Effective Date under
any such agreement.

                  (j)      Coordination with Article IX. The obligations of the
Parties set forth in this Section 5.4 shall be unconditional and absolute and
shall remain in effect until the expiration of the applicable Tax statute of
limitation. Any payment made between the parties under this Section 5.4 shall

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT                  44                   EXECUTION VERSION
<PAGE>

be treated as an indemnity payment under Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(b) and as
subject to the provisions of Article IX (but not the provisions of Section 9.5);
provided that to the extent the provisions of this Section 5.4 and of Article IX
conflict, the provisions of this Section 5.4 shall take precedence.

                  (k)      Tax Return Packages. Buyer shall cause appropriate
employees of each Acquired Entity to prepare usual and customary Tax return
packages (in the form provided to the Acquired Entities for the 2003 taxable
year) with respect to the Tax period beginning July 1, 2003 and ending as of the
Effective Date (or Closing Date, if applicable). The Buyer shall cause the Tax
return packages for the period beginning on July 1, 2003 and ending as of the
Effective Date (or Closing Date, if applicable) to be delivered to Seller no
later than the last day of the third calendar month succeeding the month in
which the Closing Date occurs.

                  (l)      Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, all sales, use, gross receipts, registration, business and
occupation, transfer, stamp duty, securities transactions, real estate, and
similar Taxes and notarial fees assessed or payable in connection with the
transfer of the Stock or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the
"Transfer Taxes"), regardless of whether such Transfer Taxes become due or
payable on or after the Closing Date, shall be paid by the party legally
responsible therefor; provided that the other party shall reimburse the party
legally responsible therefor for one-half of the Transfer Taxes (excluding any
interest or penalties arising as a result of any action or inaction by the party
legally responsible therefor or its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date)
actually paid by the party legally responsible therefor or its Affiliates
promptly upon presentation of reasonable documentation evidencing payment of
same.

                  5.5      USE OF CERTAIN SELLER TRADEMARKS.

                  (a)      Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, other than as
provided for in this Section 5.5, it is not obtaining any rights or licenses
with respect to the names "Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.," "ACS," or any
confusingly similar derivative thereof or associated logos (including the
stylized "A" design logo) or trade dress (the "Seller Marks"). Buyer shall cease
and shall cause the Acquired Entities to cease any and all use of the Seller
Marks as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but not more than 60 days
after the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to stationery,
contracts, purchase orders, agreements and other business forms and writings
which could result after the Closing Date in a legal commitment of Seller or any
of its Subsidiaries, the Acquired Entities will cease within 45 days after the
Closing Date any use of the Seller Marks, except to the extent that applicable
Law requires such Person to continue such use until such name change is
effected, in which case until such time. Within 45 days after the Closing Date,
Buyer shall notify or cause the Acquired Entities to notify, in writing, all
customers, suppliers and financial institutions having current business
relationships with the Acquired Entities that the Acquired Entities have been
acquired from Seller by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and the
Acquired Entities shall not be required to remove and shall have the right to
use any of the Seller Marks in the same manner used prior to the Closing to the
extent that such marks are embedded in any software programs developed prior to
the Closing Date and licensed or sublicensed by the Acquired Entities or are
included in any employee training manuals, operating procedures manuals or other
similar internal documents used in the Business as of the Closing Date.

                  (b)      As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event
not later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Acquired
Entities to change each of their names that contains the Seller Marks to a new
name that does not include the Seller Marks and thereafter shall not use and
shall cause the Acquired Entities not to use or include any of the Seller Marks
as or in their corporate, popular, trade or domain names.

<PAGE>

                  (c)      Buyer agrees, on behalf of itself and its
Subsidiaries, not to use or seek to register any trade name, service mark,
trademark or domain name identical with or confusingly similar to the Seller
Marks. Buyer agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, that it will
never directly or indirectly challenge, contest or call into question or raise
any questions concerning the validity or ownership of the Seller Marks by
Seller, any registration or application for registration of the Seller Marks or
any domain name application or registration containing the Seller Marks. Buyer
agrees that nothing herein shall give Buyer or the Acquired Entities any right
to or interest in the Seller Marks except the right to use the same in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and that all and any uses of the
Seller Marks by Buyer or the Acquired Entities shall inure to the benefit of
Seller.

                  (d)      Seller acknowledges that Buyer's occasional use of
the Seller Marks in a neutral, non-trademark sense to identify its past
affiliation with Seller in the ordinary course shall not violate this Section
5.5.

                  5.6      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; INTERNET SITES.

                  (a)      As of the Closing Date, Seller or its Affiliates
shall execute assignments to the Acquired Entities of those patents, patent
applications, domain names and registered trademarks and trademark applications
listed in Schedule 5.6(a).

                  (b)      With respect to Intellectual Property owned by Seller
or its Affiliates that is used as of the Closing Date to conduct the Business,
other than Intellectual Property set forth in Parts I, III and IV of Schedule
3.1(g)(7) and Intellectual Property used in connection with intercompany
Contracts entered into in accordance with Section 4.2, Seller and its Affiliates
agree, subject to the provisions of Section 5.5, to grant a worldwide, paid-up,
perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, transferable only upon the sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets to which the license
applies, to the Acquired Entities and their Affiliates to make, have products
made for sale or distribution by or on behalf of the Acquired Entities or their
Affiliates, use (including the right to grant sublicenses for end use of
products supplied by the Acquired Entities to customers or other end users, but
not including the right to grant sublicenses for manufacture or sale of products
that are not sold or distributed by or on behalf of the Acquired Entities or its
Affiliates), sell, offer for sale, import, copy, modify, publicly display,
create derivative works, and distribute in respect of such Intellectual Property
to continue such uses in the Business.

                  (c)      Except as set forth in the Transition Services
Agreement, as soon as practicable following the Closing but in no event later
than 60 days thereafter, Buyer shall terminate all use of Internet and intranet
web site and electronic mail systems maintained by Seller (other than specific
web sites and electronic mail systems maintained by the Acquired Entities and
used primarily by the Acquired Entities) and Seller and its Affiliates shall
terminate use of specific web sites and electronic mail systems maintained by
the Acquired Entities and used primarily by the Acquired Entities.

                  5.7      LEASES.

                  Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the lessors of the properties described on Schedule 3.1(f)(1) that are
leased to ACS Defense, ACS or a Subsidiary of ACS, other than an Acquired Entity
(collectively, the "Seller Leases") and are not identified in such schedule as
being Excluded Leases, to consent to the assignment of such leases or to the
continued use of such properties by Buyer, or an Affiliate of Buyer, as
designated by Buyer (the "Buyer Lease Assignee"), after the Closing. The Parties
intend all rights and obligations under each of the Seller Leases shall be
assigned to and assumed by the Buyer Lease Assignee and that the Buyer Lease
Assignee shall timely pay and otherwise perform all obligations thereunder.
Buyer agrees to execute such guarantees as may be

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               46                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

requested by the lessor under any Seller Lease in order to have the rights and
obligations under each of the Seller Leases assigned to and assumed by the Buyer
Lease Assignee at the Closing and agrees to provide such Financial Support
Arrangements to the lessors under the new leases described in Section 4.3(g) as
may be reasonably requested by such lessors. The failure of the Buyer Lease
Assignee to perform fully all of the obligations under any Seller Lease
subsequent to such assignment or Buyer's failure to execute such guarantees as
may be requested by the lessor under any Seller Lease shall be subject to the
indemnity afforded to Seller by Buyer under Section 9.2(d) of this Agreement.
If, at any time after the Closing Date, any amounts are paid under any Seller
Lease by Seller or any of its Affiliates, Buyer shall reimburse Seller such
amounts promptly after receipt from Seller of notice thereof accompanied by
written evidence of the underlying payment obligation.

                  5.8      ADMINISTRATION PENDING TRANSFER OF CERTAIN CONTRACTS.

                  (a)      This Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or
transfer of any rights, privileges and powers of Seller or any of its Affiliates
under any Contract (including Leases and Government Contracts) which, but for
this Section 5.8, would be assigned to and assumed by Buyer or the Acquired
Entities if such assignment or transfer, without a necessary approval of a third
party, would be ineffective or would constitute a default under, or other
contravention of, the provisions of any such Contract or applicable Laws or give
rise to any right of acceleration of any obligation thereunder or any right to
termination thereof and such approval shall not have been obtained prior to the
Closing Date (any such Contract, a "Restricted Contract"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Contracts set forth on Schedule A to the DOE Subcontract
Agreement shall be handled as provided for in the DOE Subcontract Agreement and
shall not constitute Retained Contracts handled pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 5.8.

                  (b)      With respect to any Restricted Contract, on the
Closing Date, an Acquired Entity designated by Buyer (the "Designated Acquired
Entity") shall, if and to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, assume the
responsibility to supervise, manage, administer and otherwise discharge the
duties that were discharged by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired
Entities) with respect to such Restricted Contract prior to the Closing Date
until the requisite approvals are obtained (or the relevant Restricted Contracts
amended to provide) for the Designated Acquired Entity to assume the rights,
privileges and powers of Seller and its Affiliates thereunder. Upon the receipt
of such approval (or the amendment or novation of such Restricted Contracts),
such Designated Acquired Entity will assume the rights, privileges and powers of
Seller and its Affiliates thereunder in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the aforesaid rights, privileges and powers under such Restricted
Contracts shall be assigned to and assumed by such Designated Acquired Entity.
The Designated Acquired Entity's failure to perform fully all of the obligations
under any Restricted Contract subsequent to such assignment shall be subject to
the indemnity afforded to Seller by Buyer under Section 9.2(d) of this
Agreement.

                  (c)      Following the Closing, the Parties shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain
promptly all authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers necessary to assign
any Restricted Contracts to the Designated Acquired Entity; provided, however,
that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require either party to make
any payment to any third-party. Pending or in the absence of such authorization,
approval, consent or waiver, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in any
reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to ensure that the Designated
Acquired Entity has all of the benefits and liabilities of such Restricted
Contracts. Without limiting the foregoing, (x) Seller shall not, so long as
there are no breaches under such Restricted Contract, terminate, amend or waive
any rights under any Lease constituting a Restricted Contract without the prior
consent of Buyer, and (y) the Designated Acquired Entity will pay any amounts
owing under any such Restricted Contracts directly to the other parties to such
Restricted Contracts.

<PAGE>

                  (d)      Buyer shall, promptly upon obtaining knowledge
thereof, give Seller notice of any default or event of default by the Designated
Acquired Entity under any Restricted Contract. In so acting, with respect to any
Restricted Contract as to which notice has been given in accordance with the
preceding sentence, Buyer shall, while any default is continuing, act only
pursuant to reasonable written instructions from Seller; provided, that Buyer
shall have no liability for any act taken or omission made in accordance with
such instructions and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and
against any Indemnifiable Losses incurred by Buyer or other Indemnified Parties
as a result of such compliance (with such right to indemnification to be deemed
to arise under Section 9.1(b)).

                  (e)      Each Party shall furnish to the other and its
authorized agents and representatives such financial and operating data and
other information with respect to the Restricted Contracts with respect to which
Buyer then acts as agent pursuant to this Section 5.8 as any of them shall
reasonably request.

                  (f)      Seller shall take all actions reasonably requested by
Buyer to enforce its rights under any Restricted Contract including the
assertion of any claim against a party to such Restricted Contract or the
assignment of any such claim to Buyer.

                  5.9      INSURANCE MATTERS.

                  (a)      Seller and its Affiliates shall keep, or cause to be
kept, all material insurance policies presently maintained relating to the
Acquired Entities and their properties, or suitable replacements therefor, in
full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date.
Schedule 5.9 sets forth all the insurance policies presently owned and
maintained by the Acquired Entities (as opposed to being owned and maintained by
Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense)). Any
and all insurance policies not listed on Schedule 5.9 presently maintained
relating to the Acquired Entities are maintained by Seller or its Affiliates
(other than the Acquired Entities).

                  (b)      Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Closing
Date, none of Buyer, the Acquired Entities, any property owned or leased by any
of them, nor any of the directors, officers, employees (including the
Transferred Employees) or agents of any of the foregoing will be insured under
any insurance policies maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than
an Acquired Entity), except (i) in the case of certain claims-made policies, to
the extent that a claim has been reported as of the Closing Date and (ii) in the
case of a policy that is an occurrence policy, to the extent the accident, event
or occurrence that results in an insurable loss occurs prior to the Closing
Date, which claim shall be reported or noticed to the respective carrier by
Buyer or Seller or an Acquired Entity in accordance with the requirements of
such policies. Seller shall, at Buyer's option and at Buyer's cost and expense,
diligently pursue such claims on Buyer's behalf and the net proceeds of such
claims (to the extent not paid directly to a third-party claimant) shall be
remitted promptly to Buyer upon receipt thereof.

                  (c)      On and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall reimburse
Seller within 30 days of receipt of an invoice for any self insurance,
retention, deductible, retrospective premium, cash payment for reserves
calculated or charged on an incurred loss basis and similar items, including
associated administrative expenses and allocated loss adjustment or similar
expenses (collectively, "Insurance Liabilities") allocated to any Acquired
Entity by Seller on a basis consistent with past practices resulting from or
arising under any and all current or former insurance policies maintained by
Seller or its Subsidiaries to the extent that such Insurance Liabilities relate
to or arise out of the operation of the Acquired Entities prior to the Closing
or any activities of the Buyer or the Acquired Entities after the Closing (other
than as a result of Buyer obtaining its own insurance); provided that, with
respect to any present or former employee of the Business who has received
workers compensation benefits at the time of the Closing for six months or more
as of the Closing and does not return to full or part time duty with

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               48                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

an Acquired Entity, Buyer shall not be obligated to reimburse Seller for the
Insurance Liabilities with respect to such person and Seller shall bear the
costs of such Insurance Liabilities. Such allocation may be adjusted as a result
of changes recommended or required by any Governmental Entity. Buyer agrees
that, to the extent any of the insurers under the insurance policies, in
accordance with the terms of the insurance policies, requests or requires
collateral, deposits or other security to be provided with respect to claims
made against such insurance policies relating to or arising from the Business,
Buyer shall provide the collateral, deposits or other security or, upon request
of Seller, will replace any collateral, deposits or other security provided by
Seller or any of its Affiliates to the extent related to or arising out of the
operation of the Acquired Entities or any activities of Buyer or the Acquired
Entities after the Closing (other than as a result of Buyer obtaining its own
insurance).

                  5.10     SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE.

                  Seller shall have the right from time to time prior to the
Closing Date to supplement the Disclosure Schedules prepared by it with respect
to any matter not existing or, to the extent that a representation and warranty
is qualified by a reference to the knowledge of Seller, known as of the date of
this Agreement which, if existing or known by Seller as of the date of this
Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such
Schedule. Seller shall provide any such supplemental disclosure as promptly as
practicable. In the event that Seller delivers a supplemental disclosure within
five business days of a date which otherwise would have been the Closing Date,
Buyer shall have the right to delay the Closing in order to consider and
evaluate the impact of such disclosed matter; provided, however, that unless
such disclosure renders a condition set forth in Section 7.2, other than Section
7.2(a), unsatisfied, the Closing shall occur on the next Monday (or, if such
Monday is not a business day, the next business day thereafter) after the date
which otherwise would have been the Closing Date. Any such supplemental
disclosure will be deemed to have cured any breach of any representation or
warranty made in this Agreement for purposes of determining whether or not the
conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) hereof have been satisfied as of the
Closing Date, but not for purposes of determining whether or not other
conditions set forth in Section 7.2 hereof have been satisfied. Moreover, such
additional disclosures will be deemed to have been disclosed for purposes of
qualifying any of the representations and warranties made in or pursuant to this
Agreement as of the Closing Date for purposes of determining whether Buyer and
its related Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to
Section 9.1(a) (it being understood that all such representations and warranties
set forth in Section 3.1 are being remade as of the Closing Date for purposes of
Section 9.1(a) and that all such representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.2 are being remade as of the Closing Date for purposes of Section
9.2(a)). To the knowledge of Seller, as of the date hereof, there are no items
that are required to be disclosed on a Schedule pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement that are not so disclosed.

                  5.11     TREATMENT OF CERTAIN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.

                  (a)      In the event that (i) any of the accounts, notes and
loans receivable that were recorded as accounts receivable on the books of the
Acquired Entities as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by Section 2.4 and that have been billed prior to the Closing Date
(the "Closing Date Receivables") are not collected in full (net of related
reserves) within 120 days after the Closing Date, (ii) any of the accounts,
notes and loans receivable that were recorded on the books of the Acquired
Entities as "unbilled" accounts receivable as of the Closing Date which are
billed by an Acquired Entity within 30 days after the Closing Date (the
"Post-Closing Date Receivables") but are not collected in full (net of related
reserves) within 120 days after the date on which such Post-Closing Date
Receivables are billed, (iii) any Unfunded Receivables, with respect to which
the absent authorization or funding is received within 180 days after the
Closing Date, are not collected in full (net of related reserves) within 120
days after the date on which such Unfunded Receivables are billed, or (iv) the
required authorization or funding with respect to any Unfunded Receivable, in
order for such receivable

to become billable, is not given or allocated, as applicable, within 180 days
after the Closing Date, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the last sentence of this Section
5.11(a), the sole remedy of Buyer shall be to cause Seller to purchase any such
Specified Receivables at the net book amount thereof (taking into account any
related reserves in effect as of the Effective Date and any payments on such
Specified Receivables made after the Effective Date) and no claim may be made
based on inaccuracy of any representation or warranty resulting therefrom. In
the event Buyer and Seller disagree as to the amount of any Specified
Receivable, Buyer and Seller agree to resolve such matter in accordance with
Sections 10.20 and 10.21. If Buyer elects to cause Seller to purchase any such
Specified Receivable(s), any notice(s) of such election(s) shall be given in
accordance with Section 10.14 and must be received by Seller prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date or Buyer will be deemed to have waived any
rights with respect to such Specified Receivable. Each such notice shall (i)
identify a closing date not less than five days nor more than thirty days after
such notice is received by Seller upon which the closing of the sale shall occur
and (ii) state the purchase price for the Specified Receivable, together with
such supporting detail as may be requested by Seller (which may be audited by
Seller from time to time upon reasonable advance notice). Such notice shall be
accompanied by records related to Buyer's attempts to collect the applicable
Specified Receivable(s) and Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with all
additional records relating to collection attempts with respect to the
applicable Specified Receivable(s) as Seller may reasonably request from time to
time. At each closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller such instruments of
transfer as may be reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the transfer of
the Specified Receivable to Seller, and Seller shall pay the purchase price in
immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the
contrary, if the purchase of the Specified Receivables is not permissible under
applicable Law, Seller shall instead indemnify Buyer from and against any
Indemnified Losses with respect thereto, which Indemnified Losses shall be
calculated in the same manner as is utilized above to calculate the purchase
price for such Specified Receivables and which Indemnified Losses shall not be
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4 or Section 9.5(a).

                  (b)      Following the Closing Date, but prior to the purchase
of any Specified Receivable by Seller or the receipt of any indemnification
payment pursuant to the final sentence of Section 5.11(a), Buyer shall cause the
Acquired Entities to diligently pursue collection of such Specified Receivable
(other than Unfunded Receivables for which the required authorization or
funding, as described above, has not been received) consistent with the
applicable Acquired Entity's customary past practices (which, in the case of
accounts receivable included in the Contributed Assets, shall be deemed to be
consistent with the customary past practices of ACS Defense). In circumstances
where (x) (i) a single Person is an account debtor on more than one Specified
Receivable and/or accounts, notes or loans receivable that are not Specified
Receivables and (ii) such account debtor makes a single lump sum payment on such
receivables without identifying specifically to which receivables such payment
relates and such payment cannot be identified with assistance from such account
debtor, such payments shall be allocated to satisfy in full the receivables in
order of the dates such receivables were billed or (y) less than the full amount
of a Specified Receivable shall have been paid by the account debtor, any
payment received relating to the Specified Receivable shall be credited to the
Specified Receivable.

                  (c)      The Specified Receivables (which for purposes of this
Section 5.11(c) shall be deemed to include Unfunded Receivables as of the
Closing Date without regard to the satisfaction of clause (iii) or clause (iv)
of the first sentence of Section 5.11(a)) shall be identified in a schedule
prepared by Buyer within sixty business days after the Closing Date in a form
reasonably acceptable to Seller. Each such schedule will identify the Specified
Receivables in reasonable detail, including identifying the account obligor, the
outstanding account balance and any reserves related thereto, the aging of the
Specified Receivable for each Specified Receivable and, in the case of Unfunded
Receivables, the basis for Buyer's determination that such Specified Receivable
constitutes an Unfunded Receivable. In the

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               50                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

event that Seller objects to the classification of a Specified Receivable as an
Unfunded Receivable, the parties shall resolve such matter in accordance with
Section 10.20 and Section 10.21.

                  (d)      In the event that (i) any Specified Receivable (other
than an Unfunded Receivable for which the required authorization or funding has
not been received) is purchased by Seller or Seller makes any payment to Buyer
with respect to Indemnified Losses related to any such Specified Receivable or
(ii) any required authorization or funding with respect to an Unfunded
Receivable is obtained after such Unfunded Receivable has been purchased by
Seller or Seller makes any payment to Buyer with respect to Indemnified Losses
related to any such Unfunded Receivable, if requested by Seller, Buyer shall, to
the extent permissible under applicable Law, cause the applicable Acquired
Entity to act as collection agent for Seller with respect to any such Specified
Receivable or any such Unfunded Receivable. In such capacity, Buyer shall cause
such Acquired Entity to (i) diligently pursue collection of any such Specified
Receivable and any such Unfunded Receivable as if such Specified Receivable or
such Unfunded Receivable were owned by such Acquired Entity, and (ii) remit
monies received by such Acquired Entity in such capacity to Seller within three
business days of receipt. As a fee for acting as collection agent hereunder,
such Acquired Entity shall be entitled to retain 5% of any payments received on
any such Specified Receivable or Unfunded Receivable. Notwithstanding anything
in the foregoing, to the extent that Buyer is not permitted to act as
collections agent under applicable Law, Buyer shall continue to diligently
pursue collection of any such Specified Receivable or any such Unfunded
Receivable, and shall reimburse Seller for prior indemnification payments made
to Buyer under the last sentence of Section 5.11(a) with respect to any such
Specified Receivable or any such Unfunded Receivable, in each case, to the
extent of amounts subsequently collected with respect to any such Specified
Receivable or any such Unfunded Receivable, net of a 5% reduction to reflect
Buyer's costs in collecting such amounts.

                  5.12     NOVATIONS.

                  Both prior to and following the Closing Date, each Party shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide all information and take all
other actions reasonably requested by the other Party in connection with
requests to the U.S. Government for the execution of novation agreements, to the
extent required by the FAR or otherwise requested by the applicable U.S.
Government agency in connection with the assignment of a Government Contract
pursuant to this Agreement, the change of control of any Acquired Entity, or the
transactions contemplated by Section 2.4. The Parties shall respond to any
requests for information by the U.S. Government with respect to such novation
agreements so that the Parties, or their applicable Affiliates, may enter into
and complete the novation agreements as soon as reasonably practicable following
the Closing Date.

                  5.13     ESCROW CLAIMS.

                  Following the Closing Date, if the Parties are unable to
assign ACS Defense's rights under the Synetics Escrow Agreement to Buyer or one
of its Affiliates, at Buyer's request, if funds remain on deposit in the escrow
account established pursuant to the Synetics Escrow Agreement, Seller shall
cause ACS Defense to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with
Buyer in the pursuit of any pending or otherwise available claims for
indemnification thereunder. Seller shall cause ACS Defense, at Buyer's expense,
to follow Buyer's reasonable instructions with respect to the pursuit of such
claims and the terms of any settlement thereof. Any funds received by ACS
Defense from the applicable escrow account shall be for the account of Buyer and
Seller shall cause ACS Defense to notify Buyer of the receipt of any such funds
within three business days of the receipt thereof and to promptly forward such
amounts to an account designated in writing by Buyer following the receipt of
such notice.

                  5.14     OUTSOURCING AGREEMENTS.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               51                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

                  (a)      Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the
Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate one or more
Outsourcing Agreements. The Purchase Price shall be decreased by an amount equal
to fifty percent (50%) of the average dollar value (per year of the term of all
pre-Closing Outsourcing Agreements) of the business process outsourcing services
required to be purchased by Buyer and its Affiliates from Seller and its
Affiliates under any pre-Closing Outsourcing Agreements (such average dollar per
year amount under Outsourcing Agreements entered into either prior to or after
the Closing Date, but within the first year after the Closing Date, the
"Commitment Amount"), with such decrease not to exceed $10,000,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchase Price shall be decreased on the
Closing Date by an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the average dollar
value per year of the services identified on Schedule 1.1OA for which Buyer has
expressed a willingness to have Seller and its Affiliates provide if Seller and
its Affiliates shall not have offered to provide such identified services to
Buyer and its Affiliates (i) on fair market terms and (ii) on terms that would
result in savings by Buyer and its Affiliates of not less than 15% over Buyer's
and its Affiliates' fiscal year 2003 budgeted costs for the performance of such
services; provided that Buyer and its Affiliates will reasonably cooperate with
Seller and its Affiliates to provide Seller and its Affiliates the ability to
structure the proposal for the provision of outsourcing services so long as such
proposal does not involve practices that are inconsistent with the requirements
of FAR, NISPOM and other applicable Laws with respect to Government Contracts.
Any decrease to the Purchase Price resulting from this Section 5.14(a) is
referred to herein as the "Closing Date Outsourcing Adjustment Amount." To the
extent that the Outsourcing Adjustment Amount results in a decrease in the
Purchase Price, the Base Purchase Price shall be decreased by the same amount.
The amount of the Outsourcing Adjustment Amount shall be specified in any
pre-Closing Outsourcing Agreements. If the Parties, or their Affiliates, do not
enter into any Outsourcing Agreements on or prior to the Closing Date, the
Purchase Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.14(a).

                  (b)      Between the Closing Date and the first anniversary of
the Closing Date, the Parties shall continue to use their commercially
reasonable efforts to negotiate Outsourcing Agreements. In the event that the
Parties enter into one or more Outsourcing Agreements on or prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be reduced through the
provision of a refund of Purchase Price by Seller to Buyer based upon the
aggregate Post-Closing Commitment Amount (as defined below) under all
Outsourcing Agreements entered into during the first year after the Closing
Date; provided, however, that the total of the Purchase Price reduction under
this Section 5.14 (including any Closing Date Outsourcing Agreement Adjustment)
shall not exceed $40,000,000. Such reduction in the Purchase Price shall be
calculated as follows: (x) if the sum of the Pre-Closing Commitment Amount (as
defined below), if any, plus the Post-Closing Commitment Amount is equal to or
less than $40,000,000, the credit shall equal 50% of the Post-Closing Commitment
Amount, and (y) if the sum of the Pre-Closing Commitment Amount, if any, plus
the Post-Closing Commitment Amount is greater than $40,000,000, the credit shall
equal (i) 50% of the difference between $40,000,000 and the Pre-Closing
Commitment Amount (but in no case less than zero), if any, plus (ii) the
difference between (A) the sum of the Pre-Closing Commitment Amount, if any,
plus the Post-Closing Commitment Amount and (B) $40,000,000. The reduction in
Purchase Price due as a result of the execution of each post-Closing Outsourcing
Agreement, if any, as calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall be
due and payable by ACS to Buyer upon execution of such Outsourcing Agreement.
Such payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
an account designated in the applicable Outsourcing Agreement and, to the extent
not paid upon execution and delivery of such Outsourcing Agreement, shall bear
simple interest based on the number of calendar days from the date of the
applicable Outsourcing Agreement to the date of payment at a floating rate per
annum equal to the Prime Rate. Each post-Closing Outsourcing Agreement shall
specify the amount of the Purchase Price reduction resulting therefrom. As used
herein, the term "Pre-Closing Commitment Amount" refers to the Commitment Amount
under Outsourcing Agreements

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               52                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

entered into on or before the Closing Date and the term "Post-Closing Commitment
Amount" refers to the Commitment Amount under Outsourcing Agreements entered
into after the Closing Date, but before the first anniversary of the Closing
Date. Buyer's entitlement to the payments described in this Section 5.14(b)
shall not be altered by any determination that the amounts payable to Buyer with
respect to post-Closing Outsourcing Agreements cannot be treated as adjustments
to the Purchase Price under GAAP or the Code. Any decrease to the Purchase Price
resulting from this Section 5.14(b) is referred to herein as the "Post-Closing
Outsourcing Adjustment Amount."

                  (c)      Seller acknowledges that this Section 5.14 does not
(x) create any obligation of exclusivity between Buyer and its Affiliates and
Seller and its Affiliates or (y) grant Seller and its Affiliates any right of
first refusal, in each case, with respect to the procurement of outsourcing
services by Buyer and its Affiliates.

                  5.15     RELEASE OF INTELLISOURCE GUARANTY.

                  Buyer shall request that the applicable Governmental Entities
of the U.S. Government unconditionally release ACS from all obligations under
the Intellisource Guaranty and shall, if requested by any such Governmental
Entity, execute a comparable guaranty in lieu thereof. If, at any time after the
Closing Date, ACS pays any amounts under, or any fees, costs or expenses
relating to, the Intellisource Guaranty, promptly upon ACS's request, Buyer
shall make any payments required to be made by ACS or, if payment has already
been made, reimburse ACS such amounts promptly after receipt from ACS of notice
thereof accompanied by written evidence providing reasonable detail of the
underlying payment obligation. Upon Seller's request, Buyer also shall request
that the beneficiary of any other Financial Support Arrangement (i) to which
Seller or its Affiliates (other than an Acquired Entity) is a party and (ii)
which supports obligations of the Acquired Entities, permit the substitution of
a Financial Support Arrangement issued by Buyer, as applicable, in lieu of such
Financial Support Arrangement issued by Seller or its Affiliates (other than an
Acquired Entity).

                  5.16     CERTAIN PAYMENTS.

                  If, following the Closing Date, Seller or any of its
Affiliates receives any payment that rightfully belongs to Buyer or its
Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities), or Buyer or any of its Affiliates
receives any payment that rightfully belongs to Seller or its Affiliates (other
than the Acquired Entities, but including the Retained Business of ACS Defense
and the Seller Transferee Subsidiary), the receiving party shall promptly, and
in no event in longer than three (3) business days, forward such amount to the
party entitled to receive such payment.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                         EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE MATTERS

                  6.1      EMPLOYMENT OF TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEES.

                  Buyer shall cause all Active Employees of the Acquired
Entities as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the provisions of
Section 2.4 (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Transferred Employees") to
remain employed by (or become the responsibility of, as applicable) the Acquired
Entities as of the Closing Date in the same or comparable positions, and at the
same or comparable base pay, as was in effect immediately prior to the Closing
Date, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term "Active Employees" shall include all full-time and part-time
employees, employees on workers' compensation, military leave, maternity leave,
leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, short-term disability,
salary continuation, on layoff with recall rights, and employees on other
approved leaves of absence with a legal or contractual right to reinstatement.
Buyer shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates for any liability arising from
the termination of

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               53                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

employment of, employment of or the failure or refusal to employ, reactivate or
reemploy any Transferred Employee after the Closing.

                  (a)      Incentive Agreements. Seller shall retain or assume,
as applicable, responsibility for payment of any bonus or other incentive
compensation payable with respect to a Transferred Employee under any bonus or
other incentive compensation plan or program maintained by ACS or its Affiliates
(including the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense) (an "ACS Bonus Program") to the
extent such payment relates to a period prior to the Closing. Prior to the
Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, terminate any bonus or
other incentive compensation program maintained by an Acquired Entity or ACS
Defense to the extent such plan or program would be applicable to Transferred
Employees.

                  (b)      Recognition of Transferred Employee Service. On and
after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Acquired Entities to recognize the
service of each Transferred Employee for the Acquired Entities, or Seller or its
Affiliates before the Closing Date for purposes of determining eligibility to
participate and vesting under all employee benefit plans, policies or programs
of Buyer and its Affiliates, other than under any defined benefit pension plan
or any plan providing retiree medical benefits, determined in accordance with
the practices and procedures of Seller or the Acquired Entities, as applicable,
in effect on the Closing Date.

                  (c)      No Accrual under Seller's Plans. On and after the
Closing Date, Transferred Employees shall not accrue benefits under or remain
covered under any employee benefit policies, plans, arrangements, programs,
practices, or agreements of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the ACS
Government Savings Plan and the Transferred Welfare Plans, as defined in Section
6.2). Seller shall retain all liabilities and obligations with respect to
employees of Seller or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities) who are
not Transferred Employees.

                  (d)      No Duplicate Benefits. Nothing in this Agreement
shall cause duplicate benefits to be paid or provided to or with respect to a
Transferred Employee under any employee benefit policies, plans, arrangements,
programs, practices or agreements. References herein to a benefit with respect
to a Transferred Employee shall include, where applicable, benefits with respect
to any eligible dependents and beneficiaries of such Transferred Employee under
the same employee benefit policy, plan, arrangement, program, practice or
agreement.

                  (e)      Affiliate Employees. Prior to the Closing Date,
Seller and Buyer shall agree on a list of those Active Employees (if any) who,
prior to the Closing Date, are performing services for the Acquired Entities or
ACS Defense but are employed by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller (other than an
Acquired Entity or ACS Defense) and who will become employees of the Acquired
Entities as of the Closing Date (the "Affiliate Employees"). Such list of
Affiliate Employees shall be set forth on Schedule 6.1(e). The Acquired Entities
shall employ the Affiliate Employees on the Closing Date. Each such Affiliate
Employee shall be a Transferred Employee and shall be treated under this
Agreement in a manner that is comparable to the treatment given to the
Transferred Employees who are employed by the Acquired Entities without regard
to this subparagraph (e), except that his or her service as of the Closing Date
shall be determined in accordance with the practices and procedures of his or
her employer, as in effect on the Closing Date. If, immediately prior to the
Closing, any Affiliate Employee participated in any employee benefit plan that
is not listed on Schedule 3.1(n)(1), but would have been listed on such Schedule
if the Affiliate Employee had been an Employee of an Acquired Entity or ACS
Defense at that time (an "Affiliate Employee Plan"), then Seller shall provide
Buyer with a copy of such Affiliate Employee Plan at the time of the Closing or
as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any Affiliate Employee Plan will also be
treated as a plan maintained by Seller for the benefit of Employees immediately
prior to the Closing for purposes of applying any other provision of this
Article VI applicable to the same type of plan as such Affiliate Employee Plan.

<PAGE>

                  (f)      Independent Contractors and Leased Employees. At
least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to
Buyer a list of independent contractors and leased employees who performs
services for the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense (other than with respect
solely to the Retained Assets) as of such date, which list shall be attached
hereto as Schedule 6.1(f). On the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Acquired
Entities to assume all liabilities and obligations of Seller or any Affiliate of
Seller relating to the continued retention of any independent contractor or
leased employee on or after the Closing Date who performs services for the
Acquired Entities or ACS Defense immediately prior to the Closing Date under a
Contract with the Acquired Entities or ACS Defense (other than any independent
contractor or leased employee whose services relate solely to Excluded Assets or
Retained Assets) in accordance with the terms and conditions in effect for each
such individual's retention immediately prior to the Closing Date. To the extent
that the Acquired Entities utilize the services of any independent contractor or
leased employee under a Contract of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the
Acquired Entities), the Acquired Entities shall be liable under the Contract for
such services, but shall not otherwise be liable for or under any such Contract
of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Entities).

                  (g)      Proprietary Information and Innovation Agreement.
Prior to the Closing, Seller will use its best efforts to obtain signed copies
of the Buyer Employee Proprietary Information and Innovation Agreement from each
Transferred Employee.

                  6.2      TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEE BENEFIT MATTERS.

                  (a)      Retirement Benefits.

                           (1) As of the date of this Agreement, Transferred
Employees participate in the defined contribution plan listed on Schedule
6.2(a)(1) (referred to as the "ACS Government Savings Plan"). Prior to the
Closing, Seller shall amend the ACS Government Savings Plan and take any other
action necessary so that one of the Transferred Subsidiaries is the sponsor of
the ACS Government Savings Plan and that only Transferred Employees who satisfy
applicable eligibility conditions are eligible to participate in the ACS
Government Savings Plan as of the Closing. As soon as practicable after the
Closing, Buyer shall transfer the accounts of all individuals other than
Transferred Employees to another defined contribution plan sponsored by Seller.
As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a
list of the Transferred Employees covered by the ACS Government Savings Plan,
indicating the service of each Transferred Employee recognized under the ACS
Government Savings Plan as of the Closing Date.

                           (2) The ACS Government Savings Plan shall satisfy the
following requirements as of the Closing: (i) it shall be a qualified,
single-employer individual account plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and
(ii) Transferred Employees shall be immediately eligible to participate therein.
For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2003,
the ACS Government Savings Plan (or other Savings Plan maintained by Buyer with
respect to Transferred Employees) shall permit Transferred Employees to make
before-tax contributions (under Section 401(k) of the Code) and shall provide
for matching contributions by Acquired Entities or Buyer that are no less
favorable to Transferred Employees than those provided under provisions for
before-Tax and matching contributions under the ACS Government Savings Plan to
Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. During any period
beginning on or after January 1, 2004, the Buyer Savings Plan shall provide
benefits for the Transferred Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries)
that are comparable to the benefits provided to similarly situated employees of
Buyer and its Affiliates.

                           (3) Seller shall make all required matching
contributions without regard to the continued employment of the Transferred
Employees with Seller or its Affiliates with respect to the

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               55                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

Transferred Employees' contributions to the ACS Government Savings Plan that are
(i) eligible for matching and (ii) made with respect to compensation earned
before the Closing Date. Such matching contributions shall be made not later
than the date on which all other matching contributions are made to any other
savings plan maintained by Seller with respect to contributions made at the same
time as the Transferred Employees' contributions that are subject to the
matching contribution obligation of the preceding sentence. Prior to the Closing
Date, Seller shall make all profit sharing contributions that are due under the
ACS Government Savings Plan with respect to the 2002 plan year for the benefit
of Transferred Employees.

                           (4) Seller shall be responsible for all costs of
correction (including without limitation any additional amounts payable to the
plan, any sanctions payable to any Governmental Entity and any professional
costs attributable to the correction process) with respect to the ACS Government
Savings Plan (or any plans that have been merged into the ACS Government Savings
Plan) attributable to any correction processes (including any supplement
thereto) that are pending as of the Closing Date, as disclosed on Schedule
3.1(n)(3). Buyer, in consultation with Seller, shall take actions as necessary
to complete the correction process in accordance with the procedures of the
applicable Governmental Entity and Buyer and Seller shall cooperate as necessary
to complete such correction process. Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with
copies of all correspondence, closing agreements and other documents related to
such correction process.

                           (5) Immediately prior to the Closing Date, Seller
will assume sponsorship of any employee pension benefit plans, within the
meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA, whether such plans are qualified or
nonqualified for Code purposes, that are maintained by any Acquired Entity,
except for the ACS Government Savings Plan (the "Retained Pension Plans"), and
will be substituted for the applicable Acquired Entity as the plan sponsor under
the Retained Pension Plans. Prior to the Closing, Seller will make or will cause
the Acquired Entities to make any amendments to the Retained Pension Plans
necessary to effect such substitution and will provide notice of such change to
participants, beneficiaries and persons providing services to the Retained
Pension Plans. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller will adopt such resolutions and
take such other actions as is necessary to effect assumption of the Retained
Pension Plans. After the Closing, none of Buyer, its Affiliates or any Acquired
Entity will have any liability or obligation with respect to any of the Retained
Pension Plans.

                  (b)      Welfare Benefits.

                           (1) As of the date of this Agreement, Transferred
Employees participate in certain welfare benefit plans listed on Schedule
6.2(b)(1) that will be assumed by Buyer for the benefit of Transferred Employees
(such assumed plans are collectively referred to as the "Transferred Welfare
Plans"). Prior to the Closing, Seller shall amend the Transferred Welfare Plans,
if necessary, and take any other action necessary so that one of the Transferred
Subsidiaries is the sponsor of the Transferred Welfare Plans as of the Closing
and that only Transferred Employees participate in the Transferred Welfare
Plans. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to
Buyer a list of the Transferred Employees covered by the Transferred Welfare
Plans. During the period beginning with the Closing Date and ending on December
31, 2003, Buyer shall, at its option, either (1) continue to maintain the
Transferred Welfare Plans for the benefit of Transferred Employees (and their
dependents, as applicable), (2) in lieu of one or more Transferred Welfare Plan,
permit Transferred Employees to participate in pre-retirement welfare benefit
plans covering Transferred Employees (and their dependents, as applicable) that
are the same (or comparable in the aggregate to) the pre-retirement welfare
plans maintained by Buyer or an Affiliate thereof for the benefit of its
similarly situated active employees of Buyer (and their dependents, as
applicable) who are not Transferred Employees or (3) arrange for Transferred
Employees to be eligible to participate in pre-retirement welfare plans under a
combination of the preceding clauses. This Agreement does not impose any
requirement on the Acquired Entities or

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               56                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

Buyer to provide post-retirement medical or other post-retirement welfare plan
coverage to any Transferred Employee, except to the extent required under the
continuation of coverage provisions of Section 4980B of the Code and COBRA.

                           (2) Buyer shall refer to Seller and Seller (or
Seller's Plans) shall assume responsibility for all claims under the Transferred
Welfare Plans or Buyer Welfare Plans made by Transferred Employees on or after
the Closing Date arising from a disability or loss incurred before the Closing
Date, except to the extent that the aggregate of such claims does not exceed the
sum of (i) the amount, if any, accrued as a liability therefor on the Financial
Statements as of the Closing Date, (ii) the total assets as of the Closing Date
of any voluntary employees' beneficiary association sponsored after the Closing
Date by one of the Transferred Subsidiaries, and (iii) any amounts withheld from
Transferred Employees' wages prior to the Closing Date that are paid to such
voluntary employees' beneficiary association following the Closing Date unless
such amounts are used to pay insurance premiums attributable to periods prior to
the Closing. For purposes of this Section 6.2(b)(2), a claim is deemed incurred
when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case
of life insurance when the death occurs and in the case of long-term disability
benefits, when the disability occurs (provided the individual has not returned
to active service with Buyer or the Acquired Entities). Seller shall not be
liable under this Section 6.2(b)(2) to the extent that any claims described in
this Section 6.2(b)(2) are paid by an insurance company pursuant to an insurance
policy maintained to provide benefits under a Transferred Welfare Plan.

                           (3) Nothing in this Section 6.2(b) shall require
Seller, any Affiliate of Seller, or the Transferred Welfare Plans to make any
payment or to provide any benefit not otherwise provided by the terms of the
Transferred Welfare Plans.

                           (4) Seller, Buyer, their respective Affiliates, and
the Transferred Welfare Plans and the Buyer Welfare Plans shall assist and
cooperate with each other in the disposition of claims made under the
Transferred Welfare Plans, and in providing each other with any records,
documents, or other information within its control or to which it has access
that is reasonably requested by any other as necessary or appropriate to the
disposition, settlement, or defense of such claims.

                           (5) Beginning on and for a period of at least six
months after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Transferred Employees to be
covered under a severance or separation pay policy or plan(s) (a "Buyer
Severance Plan") that provides severance or separation pay benefits under a
formula that is at least the same or comparable to the severance or separation
policy benefits formula applicable to the Transferred Employee under the
severance or separation pay policy or plan(s) that is provided by Seller or an
Acquired Entity (as applicable) for the benefit of the Transferred Employee
immediately prior to the Closing Date, but subject to any requirements of the
Buyer Severance Plan as in existence prior to the Closing Date with respect to
requiring releases in order to receive severance pay or a particular amount of
severance pay. Buyer shall recognize the service of each Transferred Employee
with Seller and its Affiliates for eligibility and benefit determinations under
any applicable Buyer severance or separation pay policy or plan. Seller will be
responsible for any severance pay or other compensation that may become payable
to employees of the Acquired Entities under a Plan maintained by Seller as a
result of the consummation of the transactions described in this Agreement.

                           (6) Seller will provide COBRA coverage after the
Closing Date to any eligible employee of the Acquired Entities (and the
employee's eligible dependents) who experienced a "qualifying event" as defined
in COBRA on or prior to the Closing Date, provided such employees and/or
dependents make or have made a proper COBRA election and pay all required
premiums. Buyer shall provide or shall cause the Acquired Entities to provide
COBRA coverage after the Closing Date to any Transferred Employee (and the
employee's eligible dependents) who is employed by the Acquired

<PAGE>

Entities or by Buyer or one of its Affiliates immediately after the Closing if
the Transferred Employee (or the Transferred Employee's eligible dependents)
experiences a "qualifying event," as defined in COBRA, after the Closing Date,
provided such employees and/or dependents make or have made a proper COBRA
election and pay all required premiums.

                           (7) Immediately prior to the Closing Date, Seller
will assume sponsorship of any employee welfare benefit plans, within the
meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, that are maintained by any Acquired Entity,
except for the Transferred Welfare Plans (the "Retained Welfare Plans"), and
will be substituted for the applicable Acquired Entity as the plan sponsor under
the Retained Welfare Plans. Prior to the Closing, Seller will make or will cause
the Acquired Entity to make any amendments to the Retained Welfare Plans
necessary to effect such substitution and will provide notice of such change to
participants, beneficiaries and persons providing services to the Retained
Welfare Plans. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller will adopt such resolutions and
take such other actions as is necessary to effect assumption of the Retained
Welfare Plans. Alternatively, Seller may cause an Acquired Entity to terminate
any Retained Welfare Plan prior to the Closing, in lieu of assuming the
sponsorship thereof, and shall make any necessary governmental filings with
Buyer's cooperation. After the Closing, neither Buyer nor any Acquired Entity
will have any liability or obligations with respect to any of the Retained
Welfare Plans.

                           (8) As of the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the
portion of any Plan maintained by Seller that is a Section 125 flexible spending
plan (a "FSA") applicable to Transferred Employees to be segregated into a
separate component and all account balances of the Transferred Employees in the
FSA shall be transferred to an FSA that is included in a Transferred Welfare
Plan. Buyer shall cause the FSA covering Transferred Employees that is included
in a Transferred Welfare Plan to be maintained for the duration of the calendar
year in which the Closing occurs.

                  6.3      VACATION BENEFITS.

                  On or after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Acquired
Entities to: (i) assume all liabilities of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller
with respect to any vacation time of Transferred Employees earned in accordance
with the Acquired Entities' vacation pay policies in effect prior to the Closing
Date (the "Vacation Policies"), but unused as of the Closing Date, with such
unused vacation to be set forth on Schedule 6.3 to be delivered by Seller to
Buyer at least 5 business days prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) allow
Transferred Employees to receive paid time off on or after the Closing Date for
any unused vacation time earned prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the
Vacation Policies.

                  6.4      EMPLOYEE RIGHTS.

                  (a)      Nothing herein expressed or implied shall confer upon
any employee of Seller or its Affiliates or the Acquired Entities, or Buyer or
its Affiliates, or upon any legal representative of such employee, or upon any
collective bargaining agent, any rights or remedies, including any right to
employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or
kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

                  (b)      Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer
upon any Person (nor any beneficiary thereof) any rights under or with respect
to any plan, program, or arrangement described in or contemplated by this
Agreement, and each Person (and any beneficiary thereof) shall be entitled to
look only to the express terms of any such plan, program, or arrangement for his
or her rights thereunder.

                  (c)      Nothing in this Agreement shall cause Buyer or its
Affiliates or the Acquired Entities, or Seller or its Affiliates to have any
obligation to provide employment or any employee benefits

<PAGE>

to any individual who is not a Transferred Employee or to continue to employ any
Transferred Employee for any period of time following the Closing Date.

                  6.5      WARN ACT REQUIREMENTS.

                  On and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall be responsible with
respect to Transferred Employees and their beneficiaries for compliance with the
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 and any other similar
applicable Law, including any requirement to provide for and discharge any and
all notifications, benefits, and liabilities to Transferred Employees and
government agencies that might be imposed as a result of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise. Buyer shall not take
any action after the Closing Date that would cause any termination of employment
of any employees employed by the Acquired Entities or Seller prior to the
Closing Date to constitute a "plant closing" or "mass layoff" under the Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 or any similar state or local
Law that would result in liability or notice obligation to Seller or create any
liability to Seller for employment terminations under applicable Law.

                  6.6      SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES.

                  Any individual employed by the Acquired Entities or ACS
Defense (other than individuals would have remained an employee of Seller or its
Affiliates pursuant to the transactions contemplated by Section 2.4) who
immediately prior to the Closing Date either (i) is currently receiving
long-term disability benefits under a long-term disability plan of Seller or one
of its Affiliates (the "Seller LTD Plan") or (ii) has been approved for receipt
of long-term disability benefits under the Seller LTD Plan and any individual
who but for the receipt of long-term disability benefits would be an Affiliate
Employee (collectively, an "LTD Recipient") shall be treated as a Transferred
Employee if and when the LTD Recipient recovers from his or her disabling
condition and returns to active service with the Acquired Entities. If any LTD
Recipient recovers from his or her disabling condition, Seller and its
Affiliates shall have no obligation to offer or provide any employment to such
LTD Recipient, however, Seller and its Affiliates shall continue to employ any
Person who would have been an LTD Recipient except for their remaining an
employee of Seller or its Affiliates as a result of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by Section 2.4. Nothing herein shall require Buyer or
the Acquired Entities to reemploy an LTD Recipient, or Seller or its Affiliates
to continue to employ a Person meeting the criteria set forth in the preceding
sentence, except that to the extent such Person has a right to re-employment,
reinstatement or reactivation by an Acquired Entity or Seller or its Affiliates,
as applicable.

                  8.1      TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this
Agreement and the Related Agreements may be terminated at any time before the
Closing as follows and in no other manner:

                  (a)      Mutual Consent. By mutual consent in writing of Buyer
and Seller.

                  (b)      Closing Not Consummated by Earlier Date. By Seller or
Buyer at any time after November 30, 2003, if the Closing shall not have
occurred by such date, unless extended by mutual consent in writing of Buyer and
Seller; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section
8.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any
obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the
failure of the Closing to occur by such date.

                  (c)      Conditions to Buyer's Performance Not Met. By Buyer
upon written notice to Seller if any event occurs or condition exists which
would render impossible the satisfaction of one or more conditions to the
obligations of Buyer to consummate the Closing contemplated by this Agreement as
set forth in Article VII and Buyer is not in material breach of its
representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein.

                  (d)      Conditions to Seller's Performance Not Met. By Seller
upon written notice to Buyer if any event occurs or condition exists which would
render impossible the satisfaction of one or more conditions to the obligation
of Seller to consummate the Closing contemplated by this Agreement as set forth
in Article VII and Seller is not in material breach of its representations,
warranties or covenants set forth herein.

                  (e)      Termination of CES Purchase Agreement. Automatically,
upon any termination, prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby or hereby, of the CES Purchase Agreement.

                  8.2      EFFECT OF TERMINATION.

                  In the event that this Agreement and certain Related
Agreements shall be terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, all future obligations
of the Parties under this Agreement and such Related Agreements shall terminate
without further liability of any Party to another; provided that the obligations
of the Parties contained in this Section 8.2 and in Sections 3.1(p), 3.2(e),
10.15 and 10.17 and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any such
termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a termination under Section
8.1 shall not relieve any Party of any liability for a willful breach of any
covenant under this Agreement or any Related Agreements, or be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any available remedy (including specific performance if
available) for any such breach. In the event that this Agreement is terminated
as a result of a willful breach of any covenant under this Agreement or any
Related Agreement, the non-breaching Party's damages shall include any damages
resulting from the concurrent termination of the CES Purchase Agreement, unless
prior to the time of such breach there existed other independent grounds for the
breaching Party to terminate the CES Purchase Agreement.

extent not released in accordance with Section 4.4, or any release ultimately
proves not to be completely effective, the guaranty by any Acquired Entity of

Acquired Entity which (i) violates or is alleged to have violated any criminal

respect to pre-Closing actions or omissions of Seller, any Affiliate of Seller,
any Acquired Entity or any predecessor entity thereto;

                  (g)      any and all Indemnifiable Losses resulting from
liability or obligation for (i) compensation with respect to pre-Closing periods
(including (a) any liability for vacation pay in excess of either the vacation
pay required under the terms of the Vacation Policies or the earned vacation set
forth on Schedule 6.3, but excluding (b) any accrued payroll reflected in the
Closing Date Statement), (ii) benefits under any Plan (other than the ACS
Government Savings Plan or the Transferred Welfare Plans) and any other employee
benefits plans as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA maintained by or contributed
to by Seller, any Affiliate of Seller, or any other Person which would be
treated as a single employer with Seller for purposes of ERISA or the Code,
(iii) the improper classification of Persons as common law employees,
independent contractors or leased employees or (iv) any liability under the ACS
Government Savings Plan or any of the Transferred Welfare Plans attributable to
events occurring prior to the Closing Date;

                  (h)      any and all Indemnifiable Losses with respect to (i)
any Government Contract that has expired or been terminated prior to Closing,
but with respect to which (a) no agreement has been reached prior to the Closing
Date with the cognizant government representative approving and "closing" all
indirect costs charged to such Government Contract or (b) one or more final
vouchers for payment have not been fully approved and paid or (ii) any audits by
the Defense Contract Audit Agency or any other Governmental Entity with respect
to the pre-Closing Date operation of the Business, in the case of both clause
(i) and (ii), regardless of whether the underlying claim relates to a matter set
forth in the Disclosure Schedules; provided, however, that (x) Buyer shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to bring such audit to closure as promptly
as practicable and (y) to the extent that the audit report with respect to which
a claim for indemnification arises hereunder specifically identifies a
corresponding actual financial recovery to Buyer or its Affiliates under a
Government Contract that is subject to such audit finding, the amount of
Seller's indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.1(h) in connection with such
audit report shall be offset by the amount of any such specifically identified
corresponding actual financial recovery; and

                  (i)      any and all Indemnifiable Losses resulting from any
Environmental Liabilities of the Acquired Entities or the Business attributable
to the pre-Closing period.

                  For purposes of Section 9.1(a), all representations and
warranties shall be read as if (x) references therein to the materiality to the
Acquired Entities of any condition or event (including all references to
"Material Adverse Effect" and "in all material respects") were deleted and (y)
dollar thresholds that qualify exceptions to representations (as opposed to
dollar thresholds for purposes of determining disclosure requirements) were
deleted. By way of illustration for purposes of this Section 9.1 and for the
last sentence of Section 9.2, (i) any representation that a statement is true
and correct in all material respects shall be read as a representation that the
statement is true and correct, (ii) any representation that a condition exists
except to the extent that its failure to exist would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on a Person shall be read as a representation that such condition exists,
(iii) any representation that no incidents of a specific nature have occurred
that would have a Material Adverse Effect on a Person shall be read as a
representation that no incidents of such nature have occurred, and (iv) any
Contracts not set forth on Schedule 3.1(e)(1) based on failure to satisfy
certain dollar thresholds will not form the basis of a misrepresentation, but
the representations in Section 3.1(e)(1) that are made concerning Material
Contracts will be deemed to be made concerning all Contracts, regardless of
whether the Contract satisfies the dollar thresholds. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, materiality qualifiers and dollar thresholds (1) related to the
Financial Statements, (2) included in the definition and applicability of GAAP
and (3) set forth in Section 3.1(c) (other than clause (iii) of Section
3.1(c)(3)) shall not be deemed deleted for purposes of Section 9.1(a).

                  9.2      OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER.

                  Effective as of the Closing, Buyer agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless ACS, Holdco and each of their respective directors, officers,
employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns from and against:

                  (a)      any and all Indemnifiable Losses based upon or
arising from any inaccuracy, as of the Closing Date, in any of the
representations and warranties made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement;

                  (b)      any and all Indemnifiable Losses based upon or
arising from any material breach or nonperformance of any of the covenants of
Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Entities)
contained in this Agreement or the Related Agreements, including any matter as
to which Buyer in other provisions of this Agreement (including Sections 5.4,
5.7 or 5.8) has expressly agreed to indemnify Seller;

                  (c)      any and all Indemnifiable Losses based upon or
arising from any post-Closing claims made against Seller Leases or Financial
Support Arrangements issued by Seller or its Affiliates (other than an Acquired
Entity), in either case, that remain in place after the Closing, except to the
extent that Buyer is entitled to indemnification for such matters pursuant to
Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) (without regard to satisfaction of Section 9.5(a)); or

                  (d)      any and all Indemnifiable Losses based upon or
arising from the conduct of the Business after the Closing or any Action
initiated against ACS or any Affiliate of ACS with respect to any post-Closing
action or omission in the conduct of the Business of Buyer or any Affiliate of
Buyer (including the Acquired Entities) (including any Indemnifiable Loss
arising from any guaranty by Seller and its Affiliates (other than an Acquired
Entity) of the Contracts included in the Newco Contributed Assets), except to
the extent that Buyer is entitled to indemnification for such matters pursuant
to Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) (without regard to satisfaction of Section 9.5(a)).

                  For purposes of Section 9.2(a), all representations and
warranties shall be read as if (x) references therein to the materiality to
Buyer of any condition or event (including all references to "Material Adverse
Effect" and "in all material respects") were deleted and (y) dollar thresholds
that qualify exceptions to representations (as opposed to dollar thresholds for
purposes of determining disclosure requirements) were deleted.

                  9.3      PROCEDURE.

                  (a)      Notice of Third Party Claims. Any party seeking
indemnification of any Indemnifiable Loss or potential Indemnifiable Loss
arising from a claim asserted by a third party shall give written notice to the
Party from whom indemnification is sought. Written notice to the Indemnifying
Party of the existence of a third-party claim shall be given by the Indemnified
Party promptly after its receipt of an assertion of liability from the third
party, and in any event within 20 days of such assertion; provided, however,
that the failure so to deliver such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party from any liability under this Article IX except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. In the event the provisions of Section
5.4 conflict with the provisions of this Section 9.3, the provisions of Section
5.4 shall govern.

                  (b)      Defense. In the case of a third party claim (other
than any audits of Government Contracts), the Indemnifying Party may, at its
option, control the defense of an Indemnifiable Claim. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain counsel of its
choice at its own expense and participate in the defense of the Indemnifiable
Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               66                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

not assume such defense or the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party
within 30 days that it will not assume such defense, the Indemnified Party may
control the defense of such claim and may settle the claim on behalf of and for
the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party, who shall be bound by the
result. In all cases, the party without the right to control the defense of the
Indemnifiable Claim may participate in the defense at its own expense.

                  (c)      Settlement Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 9.3 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the
Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle
or compromise any Indemnifiable Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of
any judgment, unless (i) such settlement or compromise includes a complete
release of the Indemnified Party with respect to liability related to such
Indemnifiable Claim, (ii) such settlement contains a customary confidentiality
provision, and (iii) if an Acquired Entity is an Indemnified Party, will not
create a reasonable likelihood of the institution of similar claims against any
Indemnified Party based upon the subject matter of the Indemnifiable Claim.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if (x) a settlement offer solely for
money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying
Party's willingness to accept the settlement offer and pay the amount called for
by such offer without reservation of any rights or defenses against the
Indemnified Party or (y) the Indemnified Party has not consented to the
settlement or compromise in reliance upon the provisions of clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest such claim,
free of any participation or cost by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount of
any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnifiable Claim that the
Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the
lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnified Party
declined to accept plus, without duplication, the Indemnifiable Losses of the
Indemnified Party relating to such Indemnifiable Claim through the date of its
rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Indemnifiable Losses of
the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party
makes any payment on any claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to
the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party
to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect
to such claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to
make any claim under the Indemnified Party's insurance policies and the
Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to make any claim under the Indemnifying
Party's insurance policies.

                  (d)      For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any claim
for indemnification, the expiration of a survival period set forth in Section
9.4 with respect to a particular subsection of Section 9.1 or 9.2 shall not
prohibit an Indemnified Party from seeking indemnification under another
subsection of Section 9.1 or 9.2, as applicable, with respect to which the
survival period has not expired as of the date of such claim. Similarly, if a
claim for indemnification can be asserted under either a subsection of Section
9.1 or 9.2 that is subject to the threshold or maximum amount of indemnification
set forth in Section 9.5 or under a subsection of Section 9.1 or 9.2 that is not
subject to such threshold or maximum amount of indemnification, the Indemnified
Party may elect the provision under which such claim is brought.

                  9.4      SURVIVAL.

                  The representations and warranties contained in or made
pursuant to this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall expire eighteen
months after the Closing, except that (i) the representations and warranties
contained in Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(b) and 3.1(x) shall remain in full force and
effect indefinitely and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in or
made pursuant to Sections 3.1(d), 3.1(h) (with respect to the first two
sentences only), 3.1(n)(7), 3.1(n)(8) and 3.1(r) shall survive for the
limitations period applicable to the underlying claim. This Article IX shall
survive the Closing and shall remain in effect (a) with respect to Sections
9.1(a) and 9.2(a), so long as the relevant representations and

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               67                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

warranties survive, (b) with respect to Sections 9.1(b) and 9.2(b), to the
extent those Sections relate to the covenants set forth in Article IV, for
eighteen months; provided that with respect to claims arising under Section 4.4,
such indemnity shall survive indefinitely, (c) with respect to Sections 9.1(b)
and 9.2(b) to the extent those Sections relate to covenants other than as set
forth in Article IV, so long as the applicable covenant survives, (d) with
respect to Section 9.1(c)(iii), for the longer of five years or the limitations
period applicable to the underlying claim, (e) with respect to Section 9.1(d),
for the limitations period applicable to the underlying claim plus two years,
(f) with respect to Section 9.1(e), for the limitations period applicable to the
underlying claim, (g) with respect to Section 9.1(f) for three years, (f) with
respect to Section 9.1(g)(iii), for eighteen months, (g) with respect to Section
9.1(h), until the earlier of (x) the date on which no audit with respect to the
Government Contract to which an underlying claim relates can continue under
applicable Law or (y) thirty (30) days after agreement is reached between the
applicable Acquired Entity and applicable Governmental Entity with respect to
the audit which is the subject of the underlying claim, and (h) with respect to
Sections 9.1(c)(i), 9.1(c)(ii), 9.1(c)(iv), 9.1(c)(v), 9.1(c)(vi) and
9.1(c)(vii), 9.1(g)(i), 9.1(g)(ii), 9.1(g)(iv), 9.1(i), 9.2(c) and 9.2(d)
indefinitely. Any matter as to which a non-speculative claim has been asserted
by written notice to the Indemnifying Party setting forth in reasonable detail
the nature of such claim that is pending or unresolved at the end of any
applicable limitation period shall continue to be covered by this Article IX
notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations (which the Parties hereby
waive) until such matter is finally terminated or otherwise resolved by the
Parties under this Agreement or by a court of competent jurisdiction and any
amounts payable hereunder are finally determined and paid.

                  9.5      LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a)      Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Person
under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b), solely with respect to pre-Closing
covenants other than Section 4.4, unless the aggregate of all amounts for which
indemnity would otherwise be payable by Seller exceeds $4,000,000, and in such
event, Seller shall be responsible for only the amount in excess of such
$4,000,000, except that such limitations shall not apply to any claims arising
out of Section 3.1(b), 3.1(d) 3.1(n)(7), 3.1(n)(8), 3.1(r), and 3.1(x), for
which Seller shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for the full amount of any
Indemnifiable Loss. In no event shall the total indemnification to be paid by
Seller under this Article IX, with respect to Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b)
(solely with respect to pre-Closing covenants other than Section 4.4), Section
9.1(e), Section 9.1(f)(ii), Section 9.1(f)(iii) and Section 9.1(f)(iv) and
Section 9.1(h), exceed $55,000,000, except that such limitation with respect to
Section 9.1(a) shall not apply to any claim arising out of Sections 3.1(b),
3.1(d), 3.1(n)(7), 3.1(n)(8), 3.1(r), and 3.1(x). In no event shall the total
indemnification to be paid by Seller under this Article IX (i) with respect to
Section 9.1(d) exceed (x) $20,000,000 plus (y) any amounts remaining available
for indemnification payments pursuant to the preceding sentence or (ii) with
respect to Section 9.1(f)(i) exceed (x) $10,000,000 plus (y) any amounts
remaining available for indemnification pursuant to the preceding sentence.

                  (b)      Buyer shall not be required to indemnify any Person
under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), solely with respect to pre-Closing
covenants, unless the aggregate of all amounts for which indemnity would
otherwise be payable by Buyer exceeds $4,000,000, and in such event, Buyer shall
be responsible for only the amount in excess of such $4,000,000, and in no event
shall the total indemnification payable by Buyer under this Article IX with
respect to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), solely with respect to pre-Closing
covenants, exceed $55,000,000.

                  (c)      Any Indemnifiable Claim with respect to any breach or
nonperformance by either Party of a representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement shall be limited to the amount of actual Indemnifiable Losses
sustained by the Indemnified Party by reason of such breach or nonperformance,
net of any insurance proceeds.

<PAGE>

                  (d)      If an inaccuracy in any of the representations and
warranties made by Seller or a breach of any covenants of Seller gives rise to
an adjustment in the Purchase Price for the Stock pursuant to Section 2.2, then
such inaccuracy or breach shall not give rise to an indemnification obligation
under Section 9.1.

                  (e)      An Indemnified Party's rights to receive a payment
under this Article IX from the Indemnifying Party shall not be subject to
set-off or off-set against any amounts owed or alleged to be owed by such
Indemnified Party to any other Person.

                  9.6      TREATMENT OF PAYMENTS.

                  All payments made pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated
as adjustments to the purchase price for the Stock. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, an Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified or
reimbursed for any tax consequences arising from the receipt or accrual of an
indemnity payment hereunder, including any such consequences arising from
adjustments to the basis of any asset resulting from an adjustment to the
Purchase Price or any additional Taxes resulting from any such basis adjustment.

                  9.7      REMEDIES EXCLUSIVE.

                  The remedies provided for in this Article IX shall constitute
the sole and exclusive remedy for any post-Closing claims made (i) for breach of
this Agreement or (ii) otherwise in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, except (x) for claims arising out of any breach
of the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 5.2 or this Article IX, and (y) for
claims based on actual fraud. Each Party hereby waives any provision of Law to
the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this
Section 9.7.

                  9.8      MITIGATION.

                  The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to
resolving any Indemnifiable Claim, including by making commercially reasonable
efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability. Each Party shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to address any claims or liabilities that may
provide a basis for an Indemnifiable Claim such that each Party shall respond to
any claims or liabilities in the same manner it would respond to such claims or
liabilities in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
In the event that any Party shall willfully fail to make such commercially
reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then
notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other Party
shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any Indemnifiable Loss that
could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if such Party, as the case may
be, had made such efforts.

                  10.1     USAGE.

                  All terms defined herein have the meanings assigned to them
herein for all purposes, and such meanings are equally applicable to both the
singular and plural forms of the terms defined. "Include," "includes" and
"including" shall be deemed to be followed by "without limitation" whether or
not they are in fact followed by such words or words of like import. "Writing,"
"written" and comparable terms refer to printing, typing, lithography and other
means of reproducing words in a visible form. Any instrument or Law defined or
referred to herein means such instrument or Law as from time to time

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               69                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of instruments) by
waiver or consent and (in the case of any Law) by succession of comparable
successor Laws and includes (in the case of instruments) references to all
attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a Person
are, unless the context otherwise requires, also to its successors and assigns.
Any term defined herein by reference to any instrument or Law has such meaning
whether or not such instrument or Law is in effect. "Shall" and "will" have
equal force and effect. "Hereof," "herein," "hereunder" and comparable terms
refer to the entire instrument in which such terms are used and not to any
particular article, section or other subdivision thereof or attachment thereto.
References to "the date of this Agreement," "the date hereof" or words of like
import shall mean July 31, 2003. References in an instrument to "Article,"
"Section" or another subdivision or to an attachment are, unless the context
otherwise requires, to an article, section or subdivision of or an attachment to
such instrument. References to any gender include, unless the context otherwise
requires, references to all genders, and references to the singular include,
unless the context otherwise requires, references to the plural and vice versa.
All accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning assigned
under GAAP. For the avoidance of doubt, ACS and Holdco shall be jointly and
severally liable for the obligations of Seller under this Agreement.

                  10.2     AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

                  This Agreement and any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto may
be amended only by agreement in writing of all Parties. No waiver of any
provision nor consent to any exception to the terms of this Agreement or any
agreement contemplated hereby shall be effective unless in writing and signed by
the Party to be bound and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance
so provided.

                  10.3     SCHEDULES; EXHIBITS.

                  Each Schedule and Exhibit delivered pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall constitute a part of this
Agreement, although the Disclosure Schedules need not be attached to each copy
of this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in a Schedule as an exception
to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by Seller that
such item represents an exception or material fact, event or circumstance or
that such item is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. Further, any fact or item which is clearly disclosed on
any Schedule to this Agreement or in the Financial Statements in such a way as
to make its relevance or applicability to information called for by another
Schedule or other Schedules to this Agreement clearly apparent shall be deemed
to be disclosed on such other Schedule or Schedules, as the case may be,
notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross-reference thereto.

                  10.4     FURTHER ASSURANCES.

                  Each of Buyer and Seller will use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause all conditions to its and the other Party's obligations
hereunder to be timely satisfied and to perform and fulfill all obligations on
its part to be performed and fulfilled under this Agreement, to the end that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be effected substantially in
accordance with its terms as soon as reasonably practicable. Each of Buyer and
Seller shall execute and deliver both before and after the Closing such further
certificates, agreements and other documents and take such other actions as the
other Party may reasonably request to consummate or implement the transactions
contemplated hereby. With respect to the securing of any requisite Approvals
after Closing, the Parties shall timely and promptly make all filings which may
be required for the securing of such Approvals. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, each of Buyer and Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to file notification and report forms and similar
applications with any applicable Governmental Entity whose Approval may be
required following the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate and use
their

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT               70                      EXECUTION VERSION

<PAGE>

respective commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any requests for
information by any Governmental Entity in connection with such post-Closing
Approvals.

                  10.5     GOVERNING LAW.

                  This Agreement and the legal relations between the Parties
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State and without
regard to conflicts of law doctrines.

                  10.6     HEADINGS.

                  The descriptive headings of the Articles, Sections and
subsections of this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute a
part of this Agreement.

                  10.7     COUNTERPARTS.

                  This Agreement and any amendment hereto or any other agreement
(or document) delivered pursuant hereto may be executed in one or more
counterparts and by different Parties in separate counterparts. All of such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement (or other document) and
shall become effective (unless otherwise provided therein) when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party.

                  10.8     PARTIES IN INTEREST.

                  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of each of Buyer and Seller, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied,
is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is
intended to relieve or discharge the obligation of any third person to Buyer or
Seller.

                  10.9     PERFORMANCE BY SUBSIDIARIES.

                  Each Party agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to comply with any
obligations hereunder relating to such Subsidiaries and to cause its
Subsidiaries to take any other action which may be necessary or reasonably
requested by the other Party in order to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

                  10.10    WAIVER.

                  No failure on the part of any Party to exercise or delay in
exercising any right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise preclude any further or other exercise of such or any
other right.

                  10.11    SEVERABILITY.

                  If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any Governmental Entity, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Law shall remain in full
force and effect provided that the essential terms and conditions of this
Agreement for both Parties remain valid, binding and enforceable and provided
that the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. In
event of any such determination, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to
modify this Agreement to fulfill as closely as possible the original intents and
purposes hereof. To the extent

permitted by Law, the Parties hereby to the same extent waive any provision of
Law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any
respect.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this
Agreement, no Party (or its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable to the
other Party (or its Affiliates) for (a) any indirect, incidental or
consequential damages, except to the extent such damages are shown to be a
reasonably foreseeable result of the breach, violation or other basis for
indemnification hereunder, or (b) any special, exemplary or punitive damages,

                  Seller and Buyer shall each pay their own expenses incident to
the evaluation of the Acquired Entities and the Business and the negotiation,

hereby, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of their respective
investment bankers, accountants and counsel.

                  10.18    NO ASSIGNMENT.

                  Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under it

                  10.19    REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL; INTERPRETATION.

                  The Parties each acknowledge that each Party has been
represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that
would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in any portions of this
Agreement against the Party that drafted it has no application and is expressly
waived. If any provision of this Agreement is, in the judgment of the trier of
fact, ambiguous or unclear, that provision shall be interpreted in a reasonable
manner to effect the intent of the Parties.

                  10.20    REFERENCE OF DISPUTES TO SENIOR OFFICERS OF ACS AND

                  Any dispute between Seller and Buyer arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or the Related Agreements or any alleged breach
hereof or thereof may, at the option of either Seller or Buyer, be submitted for
discussion and possible resolution by senior officers of ACS and Buyer, as
designated by their respective chief executive officers, for a period of 30 days
(or such longer period as the Parties may in particular cases so decide) before
initiating any litigation pursuant to Section 10.21 hereof.

                  10.21    RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.

                  All litigation relating to or arising under or in connection
with this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements (other than as provided for
in Section 16 of the Limited Noncompetition Agreement) shall be brought only in
the United Stated District Court for the Borough of Manhattan District (or, if
subject matter jurisdiction is unavailable, in the state courts of the State of
New York), which shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any disputes with
respect to this Agreement or the Related Agreements, with each Party irrevocably
consenting to the jurisdiction thereof for any actions, suits or proceedings
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Related Agreements. The
Parties irrevocably waive trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement, the Related Agreements or any other agreement
entered into in connection therewith and for any counterclaim with respect
thereto. To the extent that any Party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity
from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through
service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution,
execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Party
hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this
Agreement. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising

out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York court. Each Party hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court.

                  10.22    NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.

                  This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not be construed
to, confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies
hereunder.
