5 

	 	        b)     
Automatic Conversion. 

	 	        (i)             All
of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be automatically
               converted into the Conversion Shares (A) upon the consummation of an
               underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed
with and                declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the                Securities Act of 1933 covering the offer and sale of Common
Stock for the                account of the Corporation having an aggregate market value
of at least Five                Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (a “Qualified Public
Offering”), or                (B) if the fair market value of the Corporation (being
the number of outstanding                shares of Common Stock multiplied by the per
share market price of the Common                Stock) exceeds One Hundred Million
Dollars ($100,000,000) after a registration                statement covering the shares
of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock is                convertible and the
Warrants are exercisable has been effective for a period of                at least
thirty (30) days, or (C) upon the written consent of the holder of all                of
the Preferred Stock or (D) upon the close of business on the business day
               immediately preceding the date fixed for consummation of any transaction
               resulting in a Change of Control of the Corporation (A, B, C and D above
               together shall be referred to as an “Automatic Conversion Event”).
A                “Change in Control” means a consolidation or merger of the
Corporation                with or into another company or entity in which the
Corporation is not the                surviving entity or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the                Corporation to another company or
entity not controlled by a then existing                stockholder of the Corporation in
a transaction or series of transactions. The                Corporation shall provide the
holder of all the shares of the Preferred Stock                with at least 70 days
prior written notice before the closing of any Automatic                Conversion Event,
which notice the holder may waive. The Corporation shall not                be obligated
to issue certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares unless                certificates
evidencing all of the shares of Preferred Stock so converted are                either
delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent or the holder notifies
               the Corporation or its transfer agent in writing that such certificates
have                been lost, stolen, or destroyed and executes an agreement
satisfactory to the                Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss
incurred by it in                connection therewith.  

	 	        (ii)      Upon
an Automatic Conversion Event, all of the then outstanding shares
of the Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the
holder of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are
surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the
Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares
unless certificates evidencing all such then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock so
converted are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent or the holder
notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent in writing that such certificates have been
lost, stolen, or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to
indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the
conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this paragraph 6(b)(ii), the Company shall
promptly send written notice thereof, by hand delivery or by overnight delivery, to the
holder of record of all of the Preferred Stock at its address then shown on the records of
the Corporation, which notice shall state that certificates evidencing shares of Preferred
Stock must be surrendered at the office of the Corporation (or of its transfer agent for
the Common Stock, if applicable). 

6 

	 	        c)     
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Except as provided in Paragraphs 6(b)(i)(A),
(B) and (D) above, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the
Preferred Stock, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion
of the Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such
conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set
forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess
of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to such conversion.  For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder
and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination
of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of
Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining,
nonconverted shares of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Holder or any
of its affiliates, so long as such shares of Preferred Stock are not
convertible within sixty (60) days from the date of such determination, and (B)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other
securities of the Corporation (including the Warrants) subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates, so long as such
other securities of the Corporation are not exercisable nor convertible within
sixty (60) days from the date of such determination.  For purposes of this
Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may
rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the
most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-Q
or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the
Corporation or (C) any other written notice by the Corporation or the
Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the
Corporation shall within five (5) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any
case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined
after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the
Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by the Holder or its affiliates
since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
was publicly reported by the Corporation. The provisions of this Section 6(c)
may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than
61 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, and the provisions of this
Section 6(c) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date,
as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver);
provided, however, notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate of
Designations or the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, in the event the
Conversion Shares when issued and combined with all other shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the recipient of the Conversion Shares and its
affiliates equals, at any time, more than 4.99% of the total number of then
outstanding shares of Common Stock, then for so long as such recipient and its
affiliates beneficially owns more than 4.99% of the total number of then
outstanding shares of Common Stock the recipient of the Conversion Shares and
its affiliates shall have no right to vote twenty-five percent (25%) of the
shares of Common Stock, including but not limited to all Conversion Shares,
then held by or at the direction of such recipient and/or its affiliates in
excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding number of shares of Common Stock. 

7 

	 	        d)     
Mechanics of Conversion 

	 	        i.     
Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than five (5) Trading Days
after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the
Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates which,
after the Effective Date, shall represent the number of shares of Common Stock
being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. If in the case
of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered
to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth Trading Day after the
Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the
Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or
certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the
Corporation shall immediately return the certificates representing the shares
of Preferred Stock tendered for conversion after the receipt by the Corporation
of any and all shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder pursuant to such
conversion which is then being rescinded. 

	 	        ii.    
Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Corporation’s
obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of
Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce
the same, other than the compliance by the Holder with the provisions of
Section 6(a) hereinabove, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision
hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to
enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or
termination. If the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate
or certificates pursuant to Section 6(e)(i) within five (5) Trading Days of the
Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to
such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for the
number of shares of Preferred Stock equal to each $5,000 of original face
value/purchase price of the Preferred Stock being converted, $25 per Trading
Day for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates
are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue
actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified
herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to
it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief. 

8 

	 	        iii.   
Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that
it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from
preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock
as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Corporation as to
reservation of such shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable
(taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the
conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Corporation
covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon
issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable
and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under
the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such
Conversion Shares Registration Statement. 

	 	        iv.    
Fractional Shares. Upon a conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall not be
required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the
Common Stock. 

	 	        v.     
Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on
conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders
thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in
respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the
Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate
upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of
Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue
or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting
the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax
or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax
has been paid. 

        Section
7.     Certain Adjustments.  

	 	        a)     
Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the
Preferred Stock is outstanding: shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a
distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity
or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for
avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the
Corporation pursuant to this Preferred Sock), then the Conversion Value shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before
such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution. 

9 

	 	        b)     
Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall offer,
sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice
its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale,
grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common
Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Conversion Value (“Dilutive
Issuance”), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of
purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or
exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share
which is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares
of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the
Conversion Value, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than
the Conversion Value), then the Conversion Value shall be reduced to equal the
effective conversion, exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions thereof) at issue.
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are issued. The Corporation shall notify the Holder in writing, no
later than the Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the
applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price,
conversion price and other pricing terms. 

	 	        c)     
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include
shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, and the
description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or
sale of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of
Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be
the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if
any) actually issued and outstanding. 

	 	        d)     
Notice to Holders. 

	 	        i.     
Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Value is adjusted
pursuant to any of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly mail to each
Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Value after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. 

10 

	 	        ii.    
Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a
redemption of the Common Stock; (B) the Corporation shall authorize the

(5) Business Days after the filing with the Securities and Exchange           Commission
of the Purchaser’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal           year ended
December 31, 2006, pay to the Shareholders, as specified in Section           1.4(a)(iv)
of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the aggregate of the Contingent           Earnout

          (collectively, the Aggregate Closing Amount, the Actual Stock Consideration,
the           Deferred Cash Payment and the Contingent Earnout Payment shall be referred
to as           the “Acquisition Consideration”).  

2 

            (b)                 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the parties in           good faith
dispute the amount of any Clawback Amount or Loss (if any) as           provided in
Section 1.5 below, that portion of (i) the Actual Stock           Consideration, (ii) the
Deferred Cash Payment (iii) amounts collected by the           Purchaser that are
attributable to the Receivables Holdback, and/or (iv) the           Contingent Earnout
Payment, that is in dispute shall not be payable to the           Shareholders until
after resolution of such dispute.  

            (c)                 Within
five (5) Business Days after the filing with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission of the Purchaser’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
          year ended December 31, 2004, the Purchaser shall compute the amount of the
2004           Stock Considerationas follows:  

	 	
If
ORC 2004 EBITDA is less than or equal to the ORC 2004 EBITDA Floor, the amount of the
2004 Stock Consideration will be zero. If ORC 2004 EBITDA is greater than the ORC 2004
EBITDA Target, the amount of the 2004 Stock Consideration will be One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) divided by the Strike Price. If ORC 2004 EBITDA is greater than the ORC 2004
EBITDA Floor but less than the ORC 2004 EBITDA Target, the amount of the 2004 Stock
Consideration shall be equal to (I) the result obtained by multiplying (a) the amount by
which the ORC 2004 EBITDA exceeds the ORC 2004 EBITDA Floor by (b) two, and (II) dividing
the product by the Strike Price. 

            (d)                 Within
five (5) Business Days after the filing with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission of the Purchaser’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
          year ended December 31, 2005, the Purchaser shall compute the following
amounts:  

	 	(i) 	2005
Stock Consideration

	 	
If
ORC 2005 EBITDA is less than or equal to the ORC 2005 EBITDA Floor, the amount of the
2005 Stock Consideration to be delivered to the Shareholders pursuant to Section
1.4(a)(iii)(x) will be zero. If ORC 2005 EBITDA is greater than the ORC 2005 EBITDA
Floor, the amount of the 2005 Stock Consideration will be equal to the sum of:  

	 	        (x)
            the lesser of (1) $1,500,000 divided by the Strike Price, and (2) the result
               obtained by (I) multiplying (a) the amount by which ORC 2005 EBITDA
exceeds the                ORC 2005 EBITDA Floor by (b) four, and (II) dividing the
product by the Strike                Price; plus 

	 	        (y) if
ORC 2004 EBITDA was less than the ORC 2004 EBITDA Target and ORC 2005 EBITDA
               exceeds the ORC 2005 EBITDA Target, the result obtained by (I) multiplying
(a)                the lesser of (1) the ORC 2004 EBITDA Deficit and (2) the amount by
which ORC                2005 EBITDA exceeds the ORC 2005 EBITDA Target by (b) two and
(II) dividing the                product by the Strike Price.  

3 

	 	
In
no event shall the sum of the 2004 Stock Consideration and the 2005 Stock Consideration
exceed an amount equal to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) divided
by the Strike Price. In the event the Maximum Stock Consideration exceeds the Actual
Stock Consideration, the shares of Purchaser Stock representing the difference shall be
deemed forfeited by the Shareholders (in the respective amounts applicable to each) and
such shares shall be released and returned to the Purchaser by the Escrow Agent
immediately after the determination made pursuant to this Section 1.4(d)(i). Thereafter,
the Shareholders shall have no claim, lien or other interest in such shares. 

	 	(ii) 	Deferred
Cash Payment Amount

	 	
If
ORC 2005 EBITDA is less than or equal to the ORC 2005 EBITDA Cash Floor, the amount
payable pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(iii)(y) will be zero. If ORC 2005 EBITDA is greater
than the ORC 2005 EBITDA Cash Floor, the amount payable pursuant to Section
1.4(a)(iii)(y) will be equal to the lesser of (1) $500,000 and (2) the product obtained
by (i) multiplying the amount by which ORC 2005 EBITDA exceeds the ORC 2005 EBITDA Cash
Floor by (ii) four, in either case plus interest accrued on such amount at the rate of
four percent (4%) per annum from the date of Closing to the date of payment. 

	 	1.5 	Adjustments
to the Acquisition Consideration.

            (a)                 The
parties agree that the Aggregate Closing Amount payable at Closing shall be
          reduced by the face amount of the Company’s accounts receivable that have
          been outstanding ninety (90) days or more as of Closing (the “Aged
          Receivables”). The amount heldback as provided in the above sentence shall
          be referred to as the “Receivables Holdback.” The Purchaser shall
          retain and deliver the Receivables Holdback as provided in this Section 1.5(a).
          At the end of each calendar month following Closing, the Purchaser shall
deliver           to the Shareholders any amount collected under the Aged Receivables lessany
amounts expended by the Purchaser in connection with any           applicable collection
efforts. The Purchaser shall have no obligation to deliver           or otherwise pay to
the Shareholders any uncollected portion of the Receivables           Holdback.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i)           following the
one hundred eighty (180) day period immediately following Closing,           the
Purchaser shall have no further obligation to deliver to the Shareholders           any
amount thereafter received under the Aged Receivables and the Purchaser           shall,
in its sole discretion, be entitled to write-off and cease collections           efforts
with respect to any Aged Receivable then outstanding (whether in whole           or in
part); (ii) nothing set forth herein shall obligate the Purchaser in any           way to
engage in collection practices with respect to the Aged Receivables other           than
practices reasonably consistent with its usual and ordinary collection
          practices then in effect; and (iii) the Purchaser shall have no obligation
          whatsoever to collect from any customer for an Aged Receivable that such
          customer disputes.  

4 

            (b)                 In
the event that any of the Shareholders shall be bound by the terms of this
          Agreement to indemnify or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party,
          including, without limitation, for any Losses or any Clawback Amount, the
          Purchaser shall be entitled to, but shall not be obligated to, set-off and
          recoup such Losses and/or Clawback Amount against the Acquisition
Consideration;           it being acknowledged and understood that any such set-off or
recoupment may be           made, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, against any
portion of the           Acquisition Consideration that is not paid at Closing and prior
to payment or           delivery to the Shareholders, including (i) the Actual Stock
Consideration, (ii)           the Deferred Cash Payment, (iii) amounts collected by the
Purchaser that are           attributable to the Receivables Holdback, and/or (iv) the
Contingent Earnout           Payment.  

            (c)                 If
the Company’s 2004 Revenue shall be less than Eight Million Dollars
          ($8,000,000), then the Shareholders, jointly and severally, shall pay to the
          Purchaser upon demand an amount equal to the difference between (i) Eight
          Million Dollars ($8,000,000) and (ii) the Company’s 2004 Revenue (the
          “Clawback Amount”). Each of the Shareholders and the Company hereby
          jointly and severally represents and warrants that the Company’s 2004
          Revenue shall not be less than Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000). In the event
          the Company’s 2004 Revenue is less than Eight Million Dollars
($8,000,000),           and/or the Purchaser incurs any Losses for which the Purchaser
exercises its           set-off and recoupment rights pursuant to Section 1.5(b), the
Purchaser shall           give written notice to the Shareholders of the Clawback Amount
and/or such           Losses payable hereunder, and any set-off or recoupment against the
Acquisition           Consideration by the Purchaser for any such Clawback Amount and/or
Losses shall           be effective upon the date seven (7) calendar days immediately
following the           date of such notice (the “Set-off Effective Date”);
provided, however,           if the Shareholders dispute such claim in writing to the
Purchaser prior to the           Set-off Effective Date, then the effective date of such
set-off or recoupment           shall be the date the dispute is resolved; provided,
further, however, that           regardless of any dispute between the parties as to any
such set-off or           recoupment, the Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold any
amounts deemed           adequate by the Purchaser for such purpose until the date the
dispute is           resolved.  

            (d)                 In
the event that as of the Set-off Effective Date, the total of (i) the Actual
          Stock Consideration, (ii) the Deferred Cash Payment, (iii) amounts collected by
          the Purchaser that are attributable to the Receivables Holdback and (iv) the
          Contingent Earnout Payment, not yet paid or delivered to the Shareholders is
          insufficient to set-off and recoup any claim for any Clawback Amount and/or any
          Losses, then the Shareholders shall pay to the Purchaser, jointly and
severally,           the difference to the Purchaser within seven (7) calendar days
following the           date of the Purchaser’s above-referenced claim notice.

limitation on any such right of set-off and recoupment provided under this

rights           hereunder or otherwise. Such remedy of set-off and recoupment shall be
in           addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive relief or other rights
or           remedies to which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is or may be entitled, at
law           or in equity. The exercise of any such right of set-off and recoupment by
the           Purchaser in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be
justified,           will not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

set-offs, recoupments and/or payments of Losses and/or any Clawback Amount
          shall be treated as adjustments to the Acquisition Consideration payable to the
          Shareholders.  

        1.6

such further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement

assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers
and directors of the Company are fully authorized to take, and will take, all such lawful
and necessary action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary

          any such Governmental or Regulatory Authority. The Company has delivered or
made           available to the Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of all
federal           income Tax Returns filed, formal Tax opinions and examination reports

Company is not a party to or bound by (nor will it prior to the Closing           become
a party to or bound by) any Tax indemnity, Tax allocation, Tax sharing or           gain
recognition agreement (whether written, unwritten or arising under           operation of
federal law as a result of being a member of a group filing           consolidated Tax
Returns (other than a group the common the Purchaser of which           was the Company),
under operation of certain state Laws as a result of being a           member of a
unitary group, or under comparable Laws of other states or foreign
          jurisdictions). The Company has never been required to include any adjustment
in           taxable income for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or after
the           Closing pursuant to Code Sections 481 or 263A or any comparable provisions
under           any state or foreign Tax Laws.

local or foreign law), (B) as a transferee or successor, (C) by
          contract or (D) otherwise.

          nor is it a party to any Contract, agreement or arrangement covering any
current           or former employee or consultant of the Company that under certain
circumstances           could require it to make or give rise to any payments that are
not deductible as           a result of the provisions set forth in Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue           Code or the treasury regulations thereunder or would result in
an excise tax to           the recipient of any such payment under Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue           Code.  

            (h)                 The
unpaid Taxes of the Company (A) did not, as of the June 30, 2004, exceed the
          reserve for Tax Liabilities of the Company (rather than any reserve for
deferred           Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax
income) set           forth on the face of the Company Financials described in Section
2.7(iii) and           (iv) (rather than any notes thereto) and (B) will not exceed such
reserve as           adjusted for operations and transactions through the Closing in
accordance with           past custom and practice of the Company in filing its Tax
Returns.

Registered           Intellectual Property have been paid and all necessary documents and
          certificates in connection with such Registered Intellectual Property have been

of any Intellectual           Property from any Person, the Company has obtained a valid
and enforceable           assignment sufficient to irrevocably transfer all rights in
such Intellectual           Property (including the right to seek past and future damages
with respect to           such Intellectual Property) to the Company and, to the maximum
extent provided           for by and required to protect the Company’s ownership

            (j)                 There
are no Contracts or Licenses between the Company and any other Person with
          respect to Company Intellectual Property under which there is any dispute (or,
          to the Company’s knowledge, facts that may reasonably lead to a dispute)
          regarding the scope of such Contract or License, or performance under such
          Contract or License, including with respect to any payments to be made or
          received by the Company thereunder.  

18 

            (k)                 To
the knowledge of the Company, no Person is infringing or misappropriating any

            (l)                 Except
as set forth in Section 2.17(l) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the           Company
has taken all commercially reasonable steps to protect their respective           rights
in confidential information and trade secrets of the Company or provided           by any
other Person to the Company subject to a duty of confidentiality. Without
          limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company has, and enforces, a
          policy requiring each employee, consultant and independent contractor to
execute           proprietary information, confidentiality and invention and copyright
assignment           agreements substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.17(l) of
the Company           Disclosure Schedule, and all current and former employees,
consultants and           independent contractors of the Company have executed such an
agreement and           copies of all such agreements have been provided to the Purchaser
or made           available to the Purchaser for review.  

            (m)                 No
Company Intellectual Property or product, technology or service of the           Company
is subject to any Order, Action or Proceeding that restricts, or that is
          reasonably expected to restrict in any manner, the use, transfer or licensing
of           any Company Intellectual Property by the Company or that may affect the
          validity, use or enforceability of such Company Intellectual Property.  

            (n)                 No
(i) product, technology, service or publication of the Company, (ii) material
          published or distributed by the Company or (iii) conduct or statement of the

its business substantially in the usual, regular and ordinary course substantially
consistent with past practice, pay its Liabilities and Taxes consistent with the
Company’s past practices, pay or perform other obligations when due consistent with
the Company’s past practices (other than Liabilities, Taxes and other obligations, if

other Persons having business dealings with it, all with the express purpose and intent of
preserving substantially unimpaired its goodwill and ongoing businesses at and after the

Shareholder shall, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, take or agree in
writing or otherwise to take, any action that would result in the occurrence of any of the

Combination with the Company (a “Competing Proposed Transaction”), (b) provide
information with respect to the Company to any Person(other than the Purchaser) relating

proposal with respect to), or otherwise assist, cooperate with, facilitate or encourage

failure to induce the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement.

each Shareholder           shall (A) retain all Books and Records with respect to Tax
matters pertinent to           the Company relating to any taxable period beginning
before the Closing until           the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to

thereof) of the respective taxable           periods, and to abide by all record
retention agreements entered into with any           taxing authority, and (B) give the
Purchaser reasonable written notice prior to           transferring, destroying or

Company and each of the Shareholders, as the case may           be, shall allow the
Purchaser to take possession of such Books and Records.  

                (ii)                 The
Purchaser and each Shareholder shall, upon request, use their best efforts           to
obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental or Regulatory
          Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or
          eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including without limitation any Tax
          with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).  

                (iii)                 The
Purchaser and each Shareholder shall, upon request, to provide the other           party

the Closing.

Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration           and other
such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in
          connection with this Agreement, shall be paid by the party legally responsible
          therefor when due, and such party will, at their or its own expense, file all
          necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such
transfer,           documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and
fees, and,           if required by applicable Law, each of the Purchaser and the Company
will, and           will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax
Returns and           other documentation.  

36   

        5.13
Releases. At Closing, each of the Shareholders covenants and agrees to deliver, and
shall cause each of the officers and directors of the Company to deliver, to the Company a
release (each a “Release”), in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to the

Party”), on behalf of himself and his respective successors and assigns, releases and
forever discharges the Company, and each of its past, present or future directors,
officers, trustees, employees, representatives, Affiliates, stockholders, successors and
assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands,
Actions or Proceedings, causes of action, orders, obligations, Contracts, agreements,
debts, Indebtedness and Liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, both at law and in equity (collectively, “Claims”), which such
Releasing Party now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against any one or all of the
Released Parties for, upon or by reason of, any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from
the beginning of the world through the date of such Release, including, but not limited
to, any rights to indemnification or reimbursement from the Company, whether pursuant to
its corporate organizational documents, any Contract or otherwise and whether or not
relating to Claims pending on, or asserted after the date of such Release, expressly
excluding, however, any rights of such Releasing Party arising under this Agreement, which
rights shall not be affected in any manner by such Release. Each Release shall also state
that the Releasing Party, on behalf of himself and his successors and assigns, irrevocably
covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Claim, or commencing,
instituting or causing to be commenced, any Action or Proceeding of any kind against any
Released Party, based upon any matter released by such Release. 

        5.14

ARTICLE 7 
SURVIVAL OF
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS; INDEMNIFICATION

any right of the Purchaser (whether or not exercised) to investigate the affairs of the
Shareholders or the Company (whether pursuant to Section 5.1 or otherwise) or a waiver by
the Purchaser of any condition to Closing set forth in Article 6, the Purchaser shall have
the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of
the other party contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to
this Agreement. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2,
2.3(a), 2.11, 2.14, 2.19, and 2A.1 (which shall survive the Closing and continue until the
applicable statute of limitations has expired), all of the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement
shall survive the Closing and continue until the third anniversary of the Closing (the

warranties made by the Company contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered
pursuant to this Agreement shall expire upon the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, each
provision of Article 1 and all corresponding Schedules shall survive until the
satisfaction of all obligations described therein, and each provision of Article 9 and
Article 10 shall survive so long as it is relevant to any other surviving provision. No
Action or Proceeding may be instituted to enforce, or seek damages or other remedies with
respect to the breach of any representation or warranty after the expiration of the period
of survival for such representation or warranty as described above. 

        7.2
Indemnification by the Shareholders. After the Closing, the Purchaser and its
Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company), officers, directors, employees,
agents, successors and assigns (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party” and
collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held
harmless by each of the Shareholders, jointly and severally, for any and all Liabilities,
losses, damages of any kind, diminution in value, claims, costs, expenses, fines, fees,
deficiencies, interest, awards, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and penalties
(including, without limitation, attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees
and expenses and other costs of defending, investigating or settling claims) actually
suffered or incurred by them (including, without limitation, in connection with any action
brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (hereinafter, “Loss(es)”),
arising out of or resulting from: 

41 

            (i)                 any
inaccuracy in or breach (or any claim by any third party alleging or
          constituting an inaccuracy or breach) of any representation or warranty of the
          Company or any of the Shareholders, as of the date of this Agreement, contained
          in this Agreement or in the Ancillary Agreements or any other instrument
          delivered pursuant to this Agreement;  

            (ii)                 any
breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company or any of the
          Shareholders in this Agreement or in the Ancillary Agreements or any other
          instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement;  

            (iii)                 Losses
from breach of contract or other claims made by any party alleging to           have had
a contractual or other right to acquire Company Common Stock or any of           the
Company’s Assets and Properties;  

            (iv)                 Losses
with respect to any Company Expenses required to be paid by the           Shareholders
pursuant to Section 5.3;  

            (v)                 Losses
with respect to any Contract resulting from, relating to or arising out           of the
conduct of the Company’s business, including without limitation,           Losses
incurred as the result of any audit, renegotiation, termination, breach           (other
than breaches which occur after the Closing), amendment or adjustment of           any
Contract; or  

            (vi)                 Losses
with respect to the litigation described in Section 7.2 of the Company
          Disclosure Schedule.  

      7.3
Indemnification Procedures.

            (a)                 The
obligations and Liabilities of the Shareholders under this Article 7 with
          respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to
          the indemnification provided for in this Article 7 (“Third Party
          Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the terms and conditions
          set forth in this Section 7.3. If any Purchaser Indemnified Party shall receive
          notice of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall give the
          Shareholders notice of such Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) days of the
          receipt by the Purchaser Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however,
          that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any of the
          Shareholders from any of his respective obligations under this Article 7. The
          notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the
          Purchaser Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnification claim and the
          amount or good faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom.  

42 

            (b)                 Any
of the Shareholders shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of a
          Third Party Claim at his expense and through counsel of his choice (such
counsel           to be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Indemnified Party) if he
gives           notice of his intention to do so to the Purchaser Indemnified Party
within           fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notice from the Purchaser
Indemnified           Party; provided, however, if there exists or is reasonably likely
to exist a           conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same
counsel to           represent both the Purchaser Indemnified Party and any such
Shareholder, then           the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain
its own counsel, in           each jurisdiction for which counsel is required, at the
expense of the           Shareholders, jointly and severally. In the event that any of
the Shareholders           exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any
such Third Party           Claim as provided above, such Shareholder(s) shall conduct the
defense of the           Third Party Claim actively and diligently and the Purchaser
Indemnified Party           shall cooperate with such Shareholder(s) in such defense and
make available to           such Shareholder(s) at such Shareholder’s expense, all
witnesses, pertinent           records, materials and information in the Purchaser
Indemnified Party’s           possession or under the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s
control relating           thereto as is reasonably required by such Shareholder(s).
Similarly, in the           event the Purchaser Indemnified Party is, directly or
indirectly, conducting the           defense against any such Third Party Claim, the
Shareholders shall cooperate           with the Purchaser Indemnified Party in such
defense and make available to the           Purchaser Indemnified Party, at the
Shareholders’ expense, jointly and           severally, all such witnesses, records,
materials and information in any           Shareholder’s possession or under any
Shareholder’s control relating           thereto as is reasonably required by the
Purchaser Indemnified Party. No such           Third Party Claim may be settled by any
party conducting the defense against           such claim without the prior written
consent of the other party, which consent           shall not be unreasonably delayed or
withheld.  

            (c)                 Each
Shareholder hereby agrees that he will not make any claim for           indemnification
against the Purchaser (or the Company) by reason of the fact           that such
Shareholder was a controlling person, director, officer, employee,           agent or
other representative of the Company or was serving as such for another           Person
at the request of the Company (whether such claim is for Liabilities of           any
kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute,           charter,
bylaw, Contract or otherwise) with respect to any Action or Proceeding,           Third
Party Claim or other Loss claim brought by any Purchaser Indemnified Party
          against such Shareholder (whether such Action, Proceeding, Third Party Claim or
          other Loss claim is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law or otherwise).  

        7.4
Right of Offset. As provided in Section 1.5, in the event any amounts are payable
by any Shareholder to Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 7, the
Purchaser may set-off and recoup such amounts against (i) the Actual Stock Consideration,
(ii) the Deferred Cash Payment (iii) amounts collected by the Purchaser that are
attributable to the Receivables Holdback and/or (iv) the Contingent Earnout Payment, to
the extent that any such amount has not been previously paid or delivered to the
Shareholders. The Purchaser’s right to set-off and recoup amounts payable by any
Shareholder is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights the Purchaser may have
at law, in equity, under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise with respect to
recovering such amounts from the Shareholders.

the Purchaser if there shall be any Law or Order enacted, promulgated or           issued

any of the           conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3, as the case may
be, would           not be satisfied prior to the date specified in Section 8.1(b)(i);
and  

            (e)                 by

          agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of the Purchaser and (i) the
          Purchaser is not using its commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach,
          or has not cured such breach within thirty (30) days, after notice of such
          breach to the Purchaser (provided, however, that no cure period shall be
          available for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured), and (ii) as a
          result of such breach any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section
          6.2, as the case may be, would not be satisfied as of the date specified in
          Section 8.1(b)(i).

provided, however, that each party shall remain liable for any breaches of this Agreement
prior to its termination; and provided further that, the provisions of Sections 5.3, 5.4,

Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto and the Company

after the Closing, each party shall execute and deliver to the other parties such other

obligations under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party
agrees to cooperate in causing the conditions to its obligations to consummate the
Acquisition to be satisfied. 

        9.4
Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the
party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective
unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party
waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this
Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of
the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All
remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative
and not alternative. 

        9.5
Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 5.10, the terms and provisions of
this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their

No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or
obligation hereunder may be assigned (by operation of law or otherwise) by any party

void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the
benefit of and is enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. 

47 

        9.7
Headings. The headings and table of contents used in this Agreement have been
inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions
hereof. 

        9.8
Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations
of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected
thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed
and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a
part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by
its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid
and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision as may be possible. 

        9.9
Governing Law, Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement, any Ancillary Agreements
and any other closing documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as applied to contracts entered into by Virginia
residents and performed entirely in Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to its
principles or rules regarding conflicts of laws, other than such principles directing
application of the laws of Commonwealth of Virginia. Each party hereto irrevocably agrees
that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its
successors or assigns shall be brought and determined by either a state court or federal
court sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia and each party hereto hereby irrevocably
submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its
property, generally and unconditionally, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of
motion, as a defense, counter claim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect
to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in
accordance with this Section 9.9, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from
jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether
through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of
judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an
inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper and
(iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such
courts. 

        9.10
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREFROM, THE PARTIES
HERETO CONSENT TO TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT
BY ANY PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER OR THEIR SUCCESSORS IN RESPECT OF ANY MATTER ARISING
OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. 

48 

        9.11
Construction. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement is the product of
negotiation between sophisticated parties and individuals, all of whom were represented by
counsel, and each of whom had an opportunity to participate in and did participate in, the
drafting of each provision hereof. Accordingly, ambiguities in this Agreement, if any,
shall not be construed strictly or in favor of or against any party hereto but rather
shall be given a fair and reasonable construction without regard to the rule of contra
proferentem. 

        9.12
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. 

        9.13

in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance
with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Notwithstanding Section 9.9, it is
agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in
any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to
any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Nothing in Article 7
shall be construed or interpreted to limit this Section 9.13.
