<PAGE>

         NOW, THEREFORE, NSI and the State agree as follows:

    1.   PAYMENT BY NSI

         In consideration of the promises and covenants stated herein, NSI
agrees to pay the State the total sum of ONE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($1,000,000.00) over five (5) installments as set forth below. The payments
shall be made payable to "Department of the Attorney General, State of Hawaii"
for the CSEA TRUST FUND, and shall be sent to the attention of the Supervising
Deputy Attorney General, Civil Recoveries Division, Department of the Attorney
General, State of Hawaii, 425 Queen Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813.

         a. The first payment is to be TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100
DOLLARS ($250,000.00) and is to be made thirty (30) days from the date of this
Settlement Agreement. The first payment, or a succeeding payment, will be
reduced by FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) pursuant to the terms
in Section 4 below.

         b. The second payment is to be TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100
DOLLARS ($250,000.00) and is to be made within one (1) year from the date of
this Settlement Agreement.

         c. The third payment is to be TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100
DOLLARS ($250,000.00) and is to be made within two (2) years from the date of

NO/100 DOLLARS ($125,000.00) and is to be made within three (3) years from the
date of this Settlement Agreement.

<PAGE>

         e. The fifth payment is to be ONE HUNDRED TWENTYFIVE THOUSAND AND
NO/100 DOLLARS ($125,000.00) and is to be made within four (4) years from the
date of this Settlement Agreement.

    2.   FAILURE TO MAKE PAYMENT WHEN DUE

         Any failure to make any payment when due means that the entire
remaining amount is due and payable immediately. To avoid any collection
problems, the State and NSI will simultaneously with the execution of this
Settlement Agreement execute, for filing with the Court, a stipulation for
dismissal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and further execute a
stipulated judgment (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) to be held by the
State of Hawaii. The State can file that judgment if any payment is missed.

    3.   ACCELERATION OF OBLIGATIONS

         If NSI merges into another company, or if more than fifty percent (50%)
of the issued common stock of NSI is held by one party, the entire remaining
amount due is due and payable immediately.

    4.   INDEMNITY BY NSI

         NSI shall indemnify and hold the State harmless from all liabilities
whatsoever, including attorney's fees, on account of any claim by Celtic Leasing
Corp. and/or its alleged successor in interest, NBD Equipment Leasing, or any
other lessor claiming through Celtic or NBC or any other lessor. The State will
reduce by FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) the payment due from
NSI in exchange for this indemnity if NSI provides written evidence of the
satisfaction or release of the claims of NBD Equipment Finance Corp. against NSI
and the State and for payments alleged to be due for equipment originally

<PAGE>

leased to NSI by Celtic Leasing Corp. (which equipment is now in the possession
of the State) together with written evidence that NBD Equipment Finance Corp. is
the successor in interest to Celtic Leasing Corp., together with written
evidence which releases any and all claims in and to the equipment originally
leased by Celtic Leasing Corp. to NSI now in possession of the State. The State
asserts that at least some of the aforesaid equipment is presently owned by the
State. As a result of this agreement, NSI warrants all of the aforesaid
equipment in the possession of the State shall be free and clear of claims from
Celtic Leasing Corp., NSI, and any other party claiming through either or both
of them. This FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) reduction will be
allowed against the first payment by NSI to the State made after the State's
receipt of that written evidence.

    5.   MUTUAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS

         A.   RELEASE BY NSI

              In consideration of the promises and covenants herein, NSI, on
behalf of itself and all of its agents, representatives, subconsultants,
subcontractors, successors and assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges
the State and all of its employees, agents, representatives, successors and
assigns from and against any and all claims arising out of the Contract and the
Lawsuit. It is explicitly agreed that this release does not extend to NSI's
claims against Maximus, Inc.

assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges NSI and all of its
subconsultants, subcontractors, suppliers, insurers, sureties, officer,

directors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns from and against any
and all claims arising out of the Lawsuit and any and all claims arising out of
the Contract to the extent that the State either knew or reasonably should have
known of such claims as of the date of this Settlement Agreement.

         C.   ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY BY NSI

              NSI shall indemnify and hold the State harmless from all
liabilities, including attorneys' fees, on account of any claim against the
State made by any person, entity or organization claiming by, through or under
NSI and/or seeking indemnity, contribution or any other relief with respect to
any liability to NSI in connection with matters alleged in the lawsuit.

    6.   JOINT TORTFEASOR RELEASE

         This Settlement Agreement is intended to be and have the effect of a
joint tortfeasor release pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statues PARA PARA 663-11
through 663-17. As such, it shall operate to reduce to the extent of the pro
rata share of any liability of the State, or by the amount of the consideration
paid by the State to NSI pursuant to this agreement, whichever is greater, NSI's
damages recoverable against all other tortfeasors by reason of the matters
alleged in the Lawsuit.

    7.   DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

         The parties agree and acknowledge that the payments, releases of claims
and indemnity agreement stated above and the other terms, covenants and
conditions of this Settlement Agreement represent a full and complete compromise
of matters involving disputed issues; that the parties fully assume the risk

connection therewith, by the parties or their attorneys shall be considered an
admission by any party and that no past or present wrongdoing or culpability on
the part of the parties shall be implied therefrom. The parties both deny any
liability or wrongdoing.

         This Settlement Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according
to the laws of the State of Hawaii. No party shall be deemed the drafter of this
Settlement Agreement. In the event of any disagreement over the interpretation
or application of the provisions of this Settlement Agreement, the dispute shall
be presented to the Honorable Karen N. Blondin, or, if she is unwilling or
unable to serve, any other judge of the Circuit Court of the First Circuit,
State of Hawaii, for final and binding resolution. If the disputed issue is one
which could trigger the filing of a stipulated judgment pursuant to Paragraph 2
hereof, the State shall file such stipulated judgment only after the dispute has
been presented to and ruled on by Judge Blondin or another judge, and if the
ruling determines that the State is entitled to exercise the remedy of
stipulated judgment.

         a.   MUTUAL AGREEMENT

              The contracting parties mutually agree in writing to termination.

         b.   DEFAULT BY THE PROVIDER

              The Rhode Island Department of Human Services may, by written
              notice to the PROVIDER signed by the Contract Administrator,
              terminate the PROVIDER's right to proceed as to the contract if
              the PROVIDER:

<PAGE>

              1.   materially fails to perform the services within the time
                   specified or any extension thereof, or

              2.   so fails to make progress as to materially endanger
                   performance of the contract in accordance with its terms, or

              3.   otherwise fails to perform any other material provisions of
                   the contract; provided, however, that in any such event the
                   Rhode Island Department of Human Services, through the
                   Contract Administrator, shall give the PROVIDER at least
                   ninety (90) days prior written notice. Termination at the
                   option of the Rhode Island Department of Human Services shall
                   be effective ninety (90 days) after receipt of such notice,
                   unless the PROVIDER shall have corrected said failure(s)
                   within thirty (30) days after receipt by the PROVIDER of such
                   written notice; any such failure to perform which, in the
                   exercise of due diligence, cannot be cured in such thirty
                   (30) day period shall not be deemed a default so long as the
                   PROVIDER shall within such period commence and thereafter
                   continue diligently to cure each failure to perform.

         c.   TERMINATION IN THE INTEREST OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES

              The Contract Administrator, by ninety (90) days prior written
              notice, may terminate performance of work under this contract, in
              whole or in part, when it is in the best interest of the Rhode
              Island Department of Human Services to do so. In the event of such
              termination, the PROVIDER will be compensated for all work
              performed prior to such termination date and for all reasonable
              costs and liabilities to which the PROVIDER has, out of necessity,
              obligated itself as a result of this contract which are applicable
              to any period after such termination up to the term of the
              contract as determined in accordance with the applicable provision
              of 41 Code of Federal Regulations Section 108. Payment to PROVIDER
              under this clause shall include reasonable profit on all
              reasonable costs and liabilities described herein. The PROVIDER
              shall

<PAGE>

              use its best efforts to minimize the cost to the Rhode Island
              Department of Human Services.

         d.   DEFAULT BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES

              This contract may be terminated by the PROVIDER, for cause, upon
              the failure of the Rhode Island Department of Human Services to
              perform any material provision required of it by the contract
              provided the PROVIDER shall give the Contract Administrator at
              least ninety (90) days prior written notice. Termination, at the
              option of the PROVIDER shall be effective ninety (90) days after
              receipt of such notice, unless the Rhode Island Department of
              Human Services shall have corrected such failure(s) thirty (30)
              days after the receipt by the Contract Administrator of such
              written notice; any failure which, in the exercise of due
              diligence, cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period
              shall not be deemed a default so long as the Rhode Island
              Department of Human Services shall within such period commence and
              thereafter continue diligently to cure such failure. The
              competency of members of Rhode Island Department of Human
              Services' staff shall not be a reason for finding the DHS in
              default.

         e.   AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS

              It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that all
              obligations of the Rhode Island Department of Human Services,
              including the continuance of payments hereunder, are contingent
              upon the availability and continued appropriation of State and
              Federal funds, and in no event shall the Rhode Island Department
              of Human Services be liable for any payments hereunder in excess
              of such available appropriated and allocated funds. In the event
              that the amount of any available or appropriated and allocated
              funds provided by the State or Federal sources for the purchase of
              services hereunder shall be reduced, terminated or shall not be
              continued at an aggregate level sufficient to allow for the
              purchase of the specified amount of

<PAGE>

              services to be purchased hereunder for any reason whatsoever, the
              Rhode Island Department of Human Services shall notify the
              PROVIDER of such reduction of funds available and the Rhode Island
              Department of Human Services shall be entitled to reduce its
              commitment hereunder as it deems necessary.

         None of the provisions of this paragraph shall entitle the PROVIDER to
         compensation for anticipated profits for unperformed work.

PAR. 6.  RESPONSIBILITIES UPON TERMINATION

         If the contract is terminated for cause, the party terminating shall be
         reimbursed by the other party for all reasonable costs and liabilities
         which are applicable to any period after such termination and for all
         excess costs which such party reasonably incurs as a direct result of
         such termination; provided, however, that:

         a.   in the event of termination for default, the PROVIDER shall not
              receive reimbursement for any loss of anticipated profits;

         b.   both parties hereto shall use best efforts to minimize the costs
              of termination, and

         c.   in any event, the period during which such costs shall be computed
              shall not extend beyond the then current date of expiration of the
              contract and such costs shall not duplicate any payments made for
              completed milestones and deliverables, nor exceed the amounts
              which would otherwise have been due had they been completed.

         Upon termination or expiration of the contract, the PROVIDER shall, if
         requested by the Contract Administrator at least ninety (90) days prior
         to such termination or expiration, provide reasonable training for the
         Rhode Island Department of Human Services' personnel and/or continued
         performance of the services

<PAGE>

         specified herein for up to six (6) additional thirty (30) day periods
         commencing with the date of termination or expiration and continuing
         until given thirty days notice by the Contract Administrator to
         discontinue such training and/or services. For providing such training
         or continued performance after the term of the contract, the Rhode
         Island Department of Human Services shall pay the PROVIDER at mutually
         agreed rates for personnel and supplies used in providing such training
         and/or services.

PAR. 7.  CHANGES

         The DEPARTMENT may permit changes in the scope of services, time of
         performance, or approved budget of the PROVIDER to be performed
         hereunder. Such changes, which are mutually agreed upon by the
         DEPARTMENT and PROVIDER, must be in writing and shall be made a part of
         the Agreement by numerically consecutive amendment.

PAR. 8.  SUBCONTRACTS

         It is expressly agreed the PROVIDER shall not enter into any
         subcontracts to perform the services listed in ADDENDUM I - PROGRAM or
         any other obligations to be performed by the PROVIDER pursuant to this
         Agreement unless approved in writing by the Department, such approval
         not to be unreasonably withheld.

PAR. 9.  NONLIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURIES

         The PROVIDER will hold the State of Rhode Island and its officials
         harmless against claims for personal injuries of any kind which the
         staff of PROVIDER may suffer directly or may cause to be suffered by
         any person or persons in the performance of this contract.

PAR. 10. NONDISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT AND SERVICES

<PAGE>

     CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION, AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITY
                     MATTERS - PRIMARY COVERED TRANSACTIONS

1.  BY SIGNING AND SUBMITTING THIS PROPOSAL, THE PROSPECTIVE PRIMARY PARTICIPANT
    IS PROVIDING THE CERTIFICATION SET OUT BELOW.

2.  THE INABILITY OF A PERSON TO PROVIDE THE CERTIFICATION REQUIRED BELOW WILL
    NOT NECESSARILY RESULT IN DENIAL OF PARTICIPATION IN THIS COVERED
    TRANSACTION. IF NECESSARY, THE PROSPECTIVE PARTICIPANT SHALL SUBMIT AN
    EXPLANATION OF WHY IT CANNOT PROVIDE THE CERTIFICATION. THE CERTIFICATION OR
    EXPLANATION WILL BE CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEPARTMENT'S'
    DETERMINATION WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THIS TRANSACTION. HOWEVER, FAILURE OF
    THE PROSPECTIVE PRIMARY PARTICIPANT TO FURNISH A CERTIFICATION OR
    EXPLANATION SHALL DISQUALIFY SUCH PERSON FROM PARTICIPATION IN THIS
    TRANSACTION.

3.  THE CERTIFICATION IN THIS CLAUSE IS A MATERIAL REPRESENTATION OF FACT UPON
    WHICH RELIANCE WAS PLACED WHEN THE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE
    PROSPECTIVE PRIMARY PARTICIPANT KNOWINGLY RENDERED AN ERRONEOUS
    CERTIFICATION, IN ADDITION TO OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THE DEPARTMENT.
    THE DEPARTMENT MAY TERMINATE THIS TRANSACTION FOR CAUSE OR DEFAULT.

4.  THE PROSPECTIVE PRIMARY PARTICIPANT SHALL PROVIDE IMMEDIATE WRITTEN NOTICE
    TO THE DEPARTMENT IF AT ANY TIME THE PROSPECTIVE PRIMARY PARTICIPANT LEARNS
    THAT ITS CERTIFICATION WAS ERRONEOUS WHEN SUBMITTED OR HAS BECOME ERRONEOUS
    BY REASON OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES.

5.  THE TERMS "COVERED TRANSACTION," "DEBARRED," "SUSPENDED," "INELIGIBLE,"
    "LOWER TIER COVERED TRANSACTION," "PARTICIPANT," "PERSON," "PRIMARY COVERED
    TRANSACTION," "PRINCIPAL," "PROPOSAL," AND "VOLUNTARILY EXCLUDED," AS USED
    IN THIS CLAUSE, HAVE THE MEANINGS SET OUT IN THE DEFINITIONS AND COVERAGE
    SECTIONS OF THE RULES IMPLEMENTING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12549: 45 CFR PART 76.

6.  THE PROSPECTIVE PRIMARY PARTICIPANT AGREES BY SUBMITTING THIS PROPOSAL THAT,
    SHOULD THE PROPOSED COVERED TRANSACTION BE ENTERED INTO, IT SHALL NOT
    KNOWINGLY ENTER INTO ANY LOWER TIER COVERED TRANSACTION WITH A PERSON WHO IS
    DEBARRED, SUSPENDED, DECLARED INELIGIBLE, OR VOLUNTARILY EXCLUDED FROM

    PARTICIPANT MAY DECIDE THE METHOD AND FREQUENCY BY WHICH IT DETERMINES THE
    ELIGIBILITY OF ITS PRINCIPALS. EACH PARTICIPANT MAY, BUT IS NOT REQUIRED TO,
    CHECK THE NONPROCUREMENT LIST OF EXCLUDED PARTIES.

9.  NOTHING CONTAINED IN THE FOREGOING SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO REQUIRE

    PRUDENT PERSON IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS DEALINGS.

    IF A PARTICIPANT IN A COVERED TRANSACTION KNOWINGLY ENTERS INTO A LOWER TIER
    COVERED TRANSACTION WITH A PERSON WHO IS SUSPENDED, DEBARRED, INELIGIBLE, OR
    VOLUNTARILY EXCLUDED FROM PARTICIPATION IN THIS TRANSACTION, IN ADDITION TO
    OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE DEPARTMENT MAY
