and settled no later than the second Trading Day after the last Trading Day of such Draw Down
Pricing Period. Each date on which settlement of the purchase and sale of Shares occurs hereunder
being referred to as a “Settlement Date.” The Investor shall provide the Company with
delivery instructions for the Shares to be issued at each Settlement Date at least two Trading Days
in advance of such Settlement Date. The number of Shares actually issued shall be rounded to the
nearest whole number of Shares.

     Section 3.06. Delivery of Shares; Payment of Draw Down Amount.

     (a) On each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Investor to
the Investor or its designees exclusively via book-entry through the DTC to an account designated
by the Investor, and upon receipt of the Shares, the Investor shall cause payment therefor to be
made to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the
Shares are received by the Investor no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), or next day available
funds, if the Shares are received thereafter. Upon the written request of the Company, the
Investor will cause its banker to confirm to the Company that the Investor has provided irrevocable
instructions to cause payment for the Shares to be made as set forth above, upon confirmation by
such banker that the Shares have been delivered through the DTC in unrestricted form.

     (b) For each Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period that the VWAP is less than the
greater of (i) 75% of the Closing Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the commencement of such Draw Down Pricing Period, or (ii) $1.25, such
Trading Day shall not be used in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection with
such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be
reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down
Notice. If trading in the Company’s Common Stock is suspended for any reason for more than three
(3) consecutive or non-consecutive hours during any Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period,
such Trading Day shall not be used in calculating the number of Shares to be issued in connection
with such Draw Down, and the Draw Down Amount in respect of such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be
reduced by one eighth (1/8th) of the initial Draw Down Amount specified in the Draw Down Notice.

     Section 3.07. Failure to Deliver Shares. If on any Settlement Date, the Company fails
to take all actions within its reasonable control to cause the delivery of the Shares purchased by
the Investor, and such failure is not cured within two (2) Trading Days following such Settlement
Date, the Company shall pay to the Investor on demand in cash by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Investor the “Make Whole Amount;”
provided, however, that in the event that the Company is prevented from delivering Shares in respect of any such Settlement Date in a timely manner by any fact or circumstance
that is reasonably within the control of, or directly attributable to, the Investor, then such two
(2) Trading Day period shall be automatically extended until such time as such fact or circumstance
is cured. As used herein, the Make Whole Amount shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
Draw Down Amount actually paid by the Investor in respect of such Shares plus (ii) an amount equal
to the actual loss suffered by the Investor in respect of sales to subsequent purchasers, pursuant
to transactions entered into before the Settlement Date, of the Shares that were required to be
delivered by the Company, which shall be based upon documentation reasonably satisfactory to the
Company demonstrating the difference (if greater than zero) between (A) the price per share paid by
the Investor to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock necessary for the Investor to meet
its share delivery obligations to such subsequent purchasers minus (B) the average Draw Down
Discount Price during the applicable Draw Down Pricing Period. In the event that the Make Whole
Amount is not paid within two (2) Trading Days following a demand therefor from the Investor, the
Make Whole Amount shall accrue interest compounded daily at a rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points,
per annum up to and including the date on which the Make Whole Amount is actually paid.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the Company
pays the Make Whole Amount (plus interest, if applicable) in respect of any Settlement Date in
accordance with this Section 3.07, such payment shall be the Investor’s sole

7

 

remedy in respect of the Company’s failure to deliver Shares in respect of such Settlement Date, and the Company shall
not be obligated to deliver such Shares.

imposition of any liens, charges, claims or other encumbrances upon the Shares, the Warrant Shares,
any Blackout Shares or any of the assets of the Company, or (ii) except as previously disclosed to
the Investor in writing, entitle the holders of any outstanding shares of capital stock of the

during any Draw Down Pricing Period.

     Section 6.07. Prohibited Transactions. During the term of this Agreement, the Company
shall not enter into any Prohibited Transaction without the prior written consent of the Investor,
which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Investor. For the purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Prohibited Transaction” shall refer to the issuance by the Company of
any “future priced securities,” which shall be deemed to mean the issuance of shares of Common
Stock or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable
into shares of Common Stock where the purchase, conversion or exchange price for such Common Stock
is determined using any floating discount or other post-issuance adjustable discount to the market
price of Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to any equity line or other
financing that is substantially similar to the financing provided for under this Agreement.

     Section 6.08. Corporate Existence. The Company shall take all steps necessary to
preserve and continue the corporate existence of the Company; provided, however,
that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from engaging in any
Excluded Merger or Sale with another Person provided that in the event of an Excluded Merger or
Sale, if the surviving, successor or purchasing Person does not agree to assume the obligations
under the Warrant, then the Company shall deliver a notice to the Investor at least ten (10) days
before the consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale, the Investor may exercise the Warrant at
any time before the consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale (and such exercise may be made
contingent upon the consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale), and any portion of the Warrant
that has not been exercised before consummation of such Excluded Merger or Sale shall terminate and
expire, and shall no longer be outstanding.

     Section 6.09. Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant, none of the Company,
its officers, directors, employees nor agents shall disclose material non-public information to the
Investor, its advisors or representatives.

16

 

     Section 6.10. Notice of Certain Events Affecting Registration; Suspension of Right to
Request a Draw Down. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor upon the occurrence of any
of the following events in respect of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus related to the
offer, issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares hereunder: (i) receipt of any
request for additional information by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental
authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or
supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or
any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; and (iii) receipt
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation
or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company shall not be required to disclose
to the Investor the substance or specific reasons of any of the events set forth in clauses (i)
through (iii) of the previous sentence, only that the event has occurred. The Company shall not
request a Draw Down during the continuation of any of the foregoing events.

     Section 6.11. Amendments to the Registration Statement. When the Registration
Statement is declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall (i) not file any amendment to
the Registration Statement or make any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus of which the
Investor shall not previously have been advised or to which the Investor shall reasonably object
after being so advised and (ii) so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor,
a Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares by the Investor, if
the Company files any information, documents or reports that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company shall deliver a copy of such
information, documents or reports to the Investor promptly following such filing.

     Section 6.12. Prospectus Delivery. From time to time for such period as in the
reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be
delivered in connection with sales by the Investor, the Company will expeditiously deliver to the
Investor, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement
thereto) as the Investor may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus
(and of any amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities
Act and state securities laws in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares and the
Warrant Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by the
Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares and the Warrant Shares.

ARTICLE VII

DOWN

     The obligation of the Investor hereunder to accept a Draw Down Notice and to acquire and pay

respects with all applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and

     Section 7.04. Effective Registration Statement. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Statement shall have
previously become effective and shall remain effective and (i) neither the Company nor the Investor
shall have received notice that the Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop order with
respect to the Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or
has threatened to do so (unless the Commission’s concerns have been addressed and the Investor is
reasonably satisfied that the Commission no longer is considering or intends to take such action),
and (ii) no other suspension of the use or withdrawal of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus shall exist.

     Section 7.05. No Knowledge. The Company shall have no Knowledge of any event that

Trading Day on which a Draw Down Notice is delivered).

     Section 7.06. No Suspension. Trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall not have
been suspended by the Commission, the Principal Market or the NASD and trading in securities
generally as reported on the Principal Market shall not have been suspended or limited.

governmental authority shall have been threatened, against the Company or any subsidiary, or any of
the officers, directors or affiliates of the Company or any subsidiary seeking to enjoin, prevent
or change the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 7.09. Sufficient Shares Registered for Resale. The Company shall have

18

 

Day immediately preceding such Draw Down Notice, registered under the Registration Statement

     Section 7.10. Warrant. The Warrant shall have been duly executed, delivered and
issued to the Investor, and the Company shall not be in default in any material respect under any
of the provisions thereof, provided that any refusal by or failure of the Company to issue and
deliver Warrant Shares in respect of any exercise (in whole or in part) thereof shall be deemed to
be material for the purposes of this Section 7.10.

or series of events has occurred or have occurred that, individually or in the aggregate, (i) has

Satisfaction Date.

     Section 7.14. Payment of Fees. The Company shall be current on all undisputed expense
invoices that the Company is required to pay pursuant to Section 10.01.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

     Section 8.01. Term. Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 8.02
below, this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the
Commitment Period or (ii) the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Agreement in an amount equal to
the Maximum Commitment Amount.

     Section 8.02. Other Termination.

     (a) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon (x) one (1) day’s notice if the Company
enters into any Prohibited Transaction as set forth in Section 6.07 without the Investor’s prior
written consent, or (y) one (1) day’s notice within ten (10) Trading Days after the Investor
obtains actual knowledge that an event resulting in a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

     (b) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) day’s notice to the Company at any
time in the event that the Registration Statement is not declared effective in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement.

     (c) The Investor may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) business day’s notice to the
Company at any time in the event that following the first twelve (12) month period of the term, the
Company fails to make cumulative Draw Downs of at least $2 million during any consecutive

19

 

twelve (12) month period during the term. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall
not entitle the Investor to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the twenty-fourth
(24th) month of the term.

     (d) The Company may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) day’s notice; provided,
however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
8.02(d) during any Draw Down Pricing Period; provided further; that, in the
event of any termination of this Agreement by the Company hereunder, so long as the Investor owns
Shares purchased hereunder and/or Warrant Shares, unless all of such shares of Common Stock may be
resold by the Investor without registration and without any time, volume or manner limitations
pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, the
Company shall not suspend or withdraw the Registration Statement or otherwise cause the
Registration Statement to become ineffective, or voluntarily delist the Common Stock from, the
Principal Market without listing the Common Stock on another Principal Market.

     (e) Each of the parties hereto may terminate this Agreement upon one (1) day’s notice if the
other party has breached a material representation, warranty or covenant to this Agreement and such
breach is not remedied within ten (10) Trading Days after notice of such breach is delivered to the
breaching party.

     (f) The obligation of the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock shall terminate
permanently in the event that the Commission shall issue any stop order concerning, or suspend the
effectiveness of, the Registration Statement for an aggregate of thirty (30) calendar days during
the Commitment Period.

     Section 8.03. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the Company or
the Investor, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated without further action by either
party. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 8.01 or 8.02 herein, this Agreement
shall become void and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 10.13. Nothing
in this Section 8.03 shall be deemed to release the Company or the Investor from any liability for
any breach under this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, or to impair the rights of the
Company and the Investor to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under
this Agreement arising prior to such termination.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 9.01. Indemnification.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section
9.02, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor and its affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and
controlling persons (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent
permitted by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly arising
out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company in this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be liable under this Article IX to an Investor Indemnified Party to the
extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by an Investor Indemnified Party of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of an Investor Indemnified Party contained in

20

 

this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant or the gross negligence,
recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of an Investor Indemnified Party. The parties intend
that any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be net of insurance
proceeds (which the Investor Indemnified Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
recover). Accordingly, the amount which the Company is required to pay to any Investor Indemnified
Party hereunder (a “Company Indemnity Payment”) will be reduced by any insurance proceeds
actually recovered by or on behalf of any Investor Indemnified Party in reduction of the related
Damages. In addition, if an Investor Indemnified Party receives a Company Indemnity Payment
required by this Article IX in respect of any Damages and subsequently receives any such insurance
proceeds, then the Investor Indemnified Party will pay to the Company an amount equal to the
Company Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the Company Indemnity Payment that would have
been due if the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Company
Indemnity Payment was made.

     (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, unless disputed as set forth in Section
9.02, the Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and
controlling persons (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted
by law from and against any and all Damages directly resulting from or directly arising out of any
breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Investor in this Agreement,
the Registration Right Agreement or the Warrant; provided, however, that the
Investor shall not be liable under this Article IX to a Company Indemnified Party to the extent
that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by a Company Indemnified Party of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of a Company Indemnified Party contained in this
Agreement, the Registration Right Agreement or the Warrant or gross negligence, recklessness,
willful misconduct or bad faith of a Company Indemnified Party. The parties intend that any
Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will be net of insurance proceeds
(which the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover). Accordingly, the
amount which the Investor is required to pay to any Company Indemnified Party hereunder (an
“Investor Indemnity Payment”) will be reduced by any insurance proceeds theretofore
actually recovered by or on behalf of any Company Indemnified Party in reduction of the related
Damages. In addition, if a Company Indemnified Party receives an Investor Indemnity Payment
required by this Article IX in respect of any Damages and subsequently receives any such insurance
proceeds, then the Company Indemnified Party will pay to the Investor an amount equal to the
Investor Indemnity Payment received less the amount of the Investor Indemnity Payment that would
have been due if the insurance proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the
Investor Indemnity Payment was made.

     Section 9.02. Notification of Claims for Indemnification. Each party entitled to
indemnification under this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) shall, promptly after the
receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim against such Indemnified Party in respect of
which indemnity may be sought from the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party under
this Article IX (the “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the
commencement thereof. Any such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. The failure
of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other
than pursuant to this Article IX or (b) under this Article IX unless, and only to the extent that,
such failure results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or
the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The procedures listed below shall govern the
procedures for the handling of indemnification claims.

21

 

     (a) Any claim for indemnification for Damages that do not result from a Third Party Claim as
defined in the following paragraph, shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified
Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days
after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does
not respond within such thirty (30) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have
refused to accept responsibility to make payment as set forth in Section 9.01. If such
Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in
whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this
Agreement.

     (b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a
person or entity not a party to this Agreement of any threatened legal action or claim
(collectively a “Third Party Claim”), with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be
obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party
written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim.

     (c) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party has
specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise) at such Indemnifying
Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party (or sooner if the nature of
such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party
whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim,
which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. If such Indemnifying Party does not
respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the
Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement. In case
any such Third Party Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the
Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its
reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain
separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in any Third Party Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified
Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to control its own defense of such claim if, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or more significant
defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party or
(y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and
such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable;
provided, however, that in such circumstances the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties and (ii)
shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for such reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel
incurred in any such Third Party Claim, as such expenses are incurred, provided that the
Indemnified Parties agree to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the
Indemnifying Party was not obligated to provide indemnification under this Article IX. The
Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened
claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or
has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising or
that may arise out of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of
any claim effected against an Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably

22

 

withheld, conditioned or delayed. The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall
be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate
agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article IX shall restrict or
limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 10.01. Fees and Expenses. Each of the Company and the Investor agrees to pay
its own expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that the Company

other hand, agree to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all
liabilities to any Persons claiming brokerage commissions or finder’s fees on account of services
purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this

For purposes of this Agreement, DMS and Client each will be referred to individually as a “Party”
and together as the “Parties.” Unless otherwise specified herein, “DMS” will include DMS and any
present or future entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls
or is controlled by Digital Matrix Systems, Inc. or is under common control with Digital Matrix
Systems, Inc. For the purposes of this definition, “control” means the power to direct or cause
the direction of the management, policies or affairs of the controlled entity, whether through
ownership of securities or partnership or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise.

The
effective date of this Agreement is the
11th day
of November, 2005 (“Effective Date”).

For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Services and Fees.

     1.1. DMS will provide the services described in the Statements of Work and Fees
(“SOW”) as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein (“Services”), for
Client for the fees specified therein and pursuant to the schedule set forth therein, provided that
a completed SOW will be binding upon the Parties only when it is executed by the Parties. Each SOW
entered into under this Agreement will be construed to incorporate the provisions of, and to be
governed by, this Agreement, and will be considered part of this Agreement.

     1.2. DMS agrees to furnish the materials set forth in the SOW(s).

2. Payment Terms

     2.1. DMS will submit original invoices to Client on a monthly basis or as otherwise
specified in the applicable SOW. Such invoices will state the amounts due for the applicable
period, as set forth in the applicable SOW, along with an explanation of all work performed for
such fees. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable SOW, Client will pay all invoices in U.S.
dollars within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice.

Page 1 of 9

 

 

     2.2. In addition to all amounts payable by Client under any SOW, Client will pay
amounts equal to all sales, use, personal property or other taxes resulting from performance under
this Agreement or any SOW unless Client furnishes proof of exemption from payment of such taxes in
a form reasonably acceptable to DMS. Client shall not be responsible for nor required to pay taxes
based on DMS’ net income.

     2.3. To the extent that the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any SOW conflict, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control unless the
SOW specifically states that its term is meant to amend a term of this Agreement.

3. Term and Termination.

     3.1. Term. This Agreement will commence as of the Effective Date and continue for
two years. This Agreement will automatically renew upon each anniversary of the effective date for
an additional two years unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement.

     3.2. Termination for Cause.

          (a) Client may immediately terminate one or more SOWs, or this Agreement as a whole, in the
event that DMS breaches any material obligation under this Agreement and such breach remains
uncured for thirty (30) business days after written notice of such breach is delivered to DMS. If
Client so terminates, Client agrees to pay DMS all fees incurred prior to the date of such
termination.

          (b) DMS may immediately terminate one or more SOWs, or this Agreement as a whole, in the event
that Client breaches any material obligation under this Agreement including non-payment of any fees
due and such breach remains uncured for thirty (30) business days after written notice of such
breach is delivered to Client. If DMS so terminates, Client agrees to pay to DMS all fees incurred
prior to the date of such termination.

     3.3. Termination Without Cause. Either party may terminate one or more
SOWs, or this Agreement as a whole, without material cause upon ninety (90) days prior written
notice to the other party. Client agrees to pay to DMS all fees incurred prior to the date of such
termination.

4. Confidentiality of Proprietary Information.

In the performance of this Agreement, each Party may disclose to the other Party certain
Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms will
have the definitions set forth herein.

     4.1. Confidential Information means any information, data, computer software,
invention, design, idea, concept, specification, formula, device, equipment, plan, process,
document or material, whether tangible or intangible in any form or format (including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, information relating to strategic information, marketing
strategies or plans, information relating to current and potential customers and/or clients, and
pricing policies or plans) including without limitation all complete and partial originals,
reproductions, copies (handwritten or otherwise), notes and other items (including photographs),

Page 2 of 9

 

 

which are trade secrets or confidential or proprietary in nature provided, however, that
Confidential Information does not include information which:

          (a) is or becomes available to the public through no breach of this Agreement;

          (b) was previously known by the recipient without any obligation to hold it in confidence;

          (c) is received from a third party free to disclose such information without restriction;

          (d) is independently developed by the recipient without the use of Confidential Information of
the Disclosing Party;

          (e) is approved for release by written authorization of the Disclosing Party, but only to the
extent of and subject to such conditions as may be imposed in such written authorization; or

          (f) is required by law or regulation to be disclosed, but only to the extent and for the
purposes of such required disclosure; or is disclosed in response to a valid order of a court or
other governmental body of the United States or any political subdivisions thereof, but only to the
extent of and for the purposes of such order; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall
first notify the Disclosing Party of the order and permit the Disclosing Party to seek an
appropriate protective order.

     4.2. (b) “Disclosing Party” means the Party disclosing any Confidential Information
hereunder, whether such Party is DMS or Client and whether such disclosure is directly from the
Disclosing Party or through the Disclosing Party’s employees or agents.

     4.3. (c) “Receiving Party” means the Party receiving any Confidential Information
hereunder, whether such Party is DMS or Client and whether such disclosure is received directly or
through the Receiving Party’s employees or agents.

     4.4. The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information
of the Disclosing Party will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party or a
third party providing such information to the Disclosing Party. The disclosure of the Confidential
Information to the Receiving Party does not confer upon the Receiving Party any license, interest,
or right of any kind in or to the Confidential Information, except as provided under this
Agreement. At all times and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the
Receiving Party agrees that it will hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any third party
the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as approved in writing by the
Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will only permit access to the Confidential Information of
the Disclosing Party to those of its employees or authorized representatives having a need to know
and who have signed confidentiality agreements or are otherwise bound by confidentiality
obligations at least as restrictive as those contained in this Agreement. The Receiving Party will
be responsible to the Disclosing Party for any third party’s use and disclosure of the Confidential
Information that the Receiving Party provides to such third party in accordance with this
Agreement. The Receiving Party will use at least the same degree of care it would use to protect
its own Confidential Information of like importance, but in any case with no less than a reasonable
degree of care.

Page 3 of 9

 

 

     4.5. If the Receiving Party is required by a governmental agency or law to disclose
any of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party must first give
written notice of such required disclosure to the Disclosing Party, take reasonable steps to allow
the Disclosing Party to seek to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information
required to be disclosed, and will disclose only that part of the Confidential Information which,
in the written opinion of its legal counsel, it is required to disclose.

     4.6. Each Party to this Agreement will immediately notify the other Party in writing
upon discovery of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other
Party.

     4.7. The Receiving Party will not reproduce the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information in any form except as required to accomplish the intent of this Agreement. Any
reproduction of any Confidential Information by the Receiving Party will remain the property of the
Disclosing Party and will contain any and all confidential or proprietary notices or legends that
appear on the original, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party.

     4.8. Upon either termination or expiration of this Agreement, or upon written
request of the other Party, each Party will either: (a) promptly return to the other Party all
documents and other tangible materials representing the other Party’s Confidential Information, and
all copies thereof in its possession or control; or (b) destroy all tangible copies of the other
Party’s Confidential Information in its possession or control.

     4.9. Neither Party will communicate any information to the other Party in violation
of the proprietary rights of any third party.

     4.10. If either Party should breach or threaten to breach any provision of this
Section 4 of the Agreement, the non-breaching Party, in addition to any other remedy it may have at
law or in equity, will be entitled to seek a restraining order, injunction, or other similar remedy
in order to specifically enforce the provisions of this section of the Agreement. Each Party
specifically acknowledges that money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the injuries
and damages that would be suffered and incurred by the non-breaching Party as a result of a breach
of this section of the Agreement. In the event that either Party should seek an injunction
hereunder, the other Party hereby waives any requirement for the submission of proof of the
economic value of any Confidential Information or the posting of a bond or any other security.

     4.11. Notwithstanding any expiration or termination of this Agreement, all of the
Receiving Party’s nondisclosure and use obligations pursuant to this Agreement will survive for two
(2) years after expiration or termination with respect to any Confidential Business Information
received prior to such expiration or termination and with respect to Trade Secrets will continue
for so long as such information continues to constitute a trade secret under applicable law.

     4.12. The provisions set forth in this Section 4 of the Agreement supersede any
previous agreement between the Parties relating to the protection of any Confidential Information
as set forth herein.

     4.13. Each Party agrees to hold all non-public information of consumers, as defined
in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, received from the other party as confidential and will not disclose

Page 4 of 9

 

 

or use such information other than to perform its obligations as set forth in this Agreement
or as otherwise authorized by law.

5. Ownership.

     5.1. For purposes of this Agreement, “Work Product” means all original works of
authorship created in whole or in part by, and all inventions discovered in whole or in part by DMS
pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to software, data, reports, statistical
analyses, models, materials, documentation, computer programs, inventions (whether or not
patentable), pictures, audio, video, artistic works, including all worldwide rights therein under
patent, copyright, trade secret, confidential or proprietary information, or other property right,
whether prior to the date of this Agreement or in the future, and that either: (a) are created
within the scope of the performance of the Services; or (b) have been or will be paid for by
Client.

     5.2. DMS has pre-existing intellectual property interests in various proprietary
analyses, evaluations, reports, models, plans, computer software, systems, materials, documentation
and inventions (“Existing Material”) that may be utilized to provide Services to Client.

     5.3. All Work Product will be jointly owned by DMS and client unless otherwise noted
on the applicable SOW. In no event will ownership of Existing Material be transferred to Client.

     5.4. DMS hereby grants to Client a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, paid-up,
limited license to use and copy (but not modify without the express written consent of DMS) for
Client’s internal purposes only, unless otherwise provided in the applicable SOW.

6. Warranties, Indemnities and Liabilities.

     6.1. DMS warrants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts, skill,
knowledge, and sound professional principles and practices in accordance with normally accepted
industry standards in the performance of the Services.

     6.2. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER
WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

     6.3. OTHER THAN DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A PARTY’S VIOLATION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS OF
CONFIDENTIALITY OR THE INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF A PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS,
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF DATA/PROGRAMS OR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE,
COMPUTER FAILURE, LOSS OF WORK PRODUCT OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES WHETHER
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CAUSED, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY
PRODUCT OR

Page 5 of 9

 

 

SERVICES IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNTS PAID BY CLIENT TO DMS FOR SERVICES UNDER THE SOW TO WHICH
SUCH DAMAGES RELATE. THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOT-WITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

7. Miscellaneous.

     7.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any executed SOWs constitute the
entire agreement between the Parties concerning the Services to be provided hereunder and supersede
all written or oral prior agreements or understandings with respect to such Services. No course of
dealing or usage of trade will be used to modify the terms hereof. This Agreement does not
supersede any other written agreements entered into between the parties with respect to matters
other than the Services.

     7.2. No Oral Modification. No modification, extension or waiver of or under
this Agreement or any SOW will be valid unless made in writing and signed by authorized
representatives of both Parties. No written waiver will constitute, or be construed as, a waiver
of any other obligation or condition of this Agreement or any SOW.

     7.3. Unenforceability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a
proper authority to be unenforceable or invalid, such unenforceability or invalidity will not
render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole; rather, this Agreement will be construed
as if not containing the particular invalid or unenforceable provision or portion thereof, and the
rights and obligations of the Parties hereto will be construed and enforced accordingly. In such
event, the Parties will negotiate in good faith a replacement provision that would best accomplish
the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or
applicable court decisions.

     7.4. Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer any right or
obligation under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party except in the
event of a sale of stock or substantially all of the assets of a Party, in which case written
notice, but no consent shall be required. DMS may delegate or subcontract its performance
hereunder provided that DMS remains liable for the performance of this Agreement.

     7.5. Legal Notices. Any notices to be given hereunder by either party to
the other party may be provided in writing and delivered by personal delivery or certified mail or
overnight carrier mail, return receipt requested. Such notices will be deemed given upon personal
delivery, five (5) business days after deposit in the mail, or upon the date of the certification
of written reply acknowledgment, whichever is applicable.

     7.6. Notices will be sent to the addresses set forth on the first page of this
Agreement or to such other address as either Party may specify in writing.

     7.7. Survival. Any and all provisions, promises and warranties contained
herein, which by their nature or effect are required or intended to be observed, kept or performed
after termination of this Agreement, will survive the termination of this Agreement and remain
binding upon and for the benefit of the Parties hereto.

     7.8. Independent Contractor. DMS will perform this Agreement solely as an
independent contractor, and not as Client’s agent or employee. Neither Party has any authority to

Page 6 of 9

 

 

make any statement, representation or commitment of any kind or to take any action binding
upon the other Party, without the other Party’s prior written authorization.

     7.9. Binding Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this agreement, or the breach thereof, other than breaches of confidentiality as set
forth in Section 4 herein, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American
Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules including the Optional
Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection (the “Rules”), and judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any arbitration will be held
before a single arbitrator if both parties can agree upon a designated Arbitrator. In the event
that the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, each party shall designate one arbitrator and
a third arbitrator shall then be selected by the two chosen arbitrators, thereby creating a
three-member arbitration panel. The arbitrators will be selected from a pool of arbitrators
experienced in Intellectual Property matters. The costs for the arbitration and fess of the
arbitrator(s) shall be shared equally by the Parties. The Parties agree that arbitration shall
take place in the District of Columbia. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section 7.8
shall prohibit either party from seeking temporary or permanent injunctive relief in a court of
competent jurisdiction.

     7.10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to
conflict of laws principles.

     7.11. Non-Solicitation. Each Party agrees that, during the term of this
Agreement and for twelve (12) months thereafter, it will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or
induce any employee of the other Party to consider or accept employment with the first Party.
Neither Party is prohibited from responding to or hiring employees of the other Party who inquire
about employment with the first Party on their own accord or in response to a public advertisement
or employment solicitation in general.

     7.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will for all purposes be deemed an original and all of which will
constitute the same instrument.

     7.13. Headings. Headings of particular sections are inserted only for
convenience and are not to be considered a part of this Agreement or be used to define, limit or
construe the scope of any term or provision of this Agreement. Should any provision of this
Agreement require judicial interpretation, the Parties agree that the court interpreting or
construing the same will not apply a presumption that the terms of this Agreement will be more
strictly construed against one Party than against the other.

     7.14. Conflicts. To the extent that the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of any SOW conflict, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement will control unless the SOW specifically states that its term is meant to amend a term of
this Agreement.

     7.15. Force Majeure. Neither party will be held liable for failure to
fulfill its obligations hereunder (except for payment obligations) if such failure is due to a
Force Majeure Event. A “Force Majeure Event” means an act of war; domestic and/or international
terrorism; civil rights or rebellions; quarantines, embargoes and other similar unusual
governmental actions; or extraordinary elements of nature or acts of God; provided that such Force
Majeure Event is

beyond the excused Party’s reasonable control, occurs without the excused Party’s fault or
negligence, is not caused directly or indirectly by the excused Party and could not have been
prevented by the excused Party’s reasonable diligence.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, DMS and Client have caused this Agreement to be signed and delivered as of the
Effective Date first written above.
