Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among The KEYW Holding Corporation (“KEYW”), Sycamore.US, Inc., (“Sycamore”), Sycamore Services, Inc., the Stockholders of Sycamore.US, Inc. (“Sellers”) and Kurt Heckman, as the Representative of the Sellers dated and effective November 29, 2010 (the “Agreement”), KEYW acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Sycamore for $27.0 million in cash and 87,500 shares of KEYW common stock (exclusive of accounting and attorney fees and customary closing costs and adjustments).  The KEYW shares are subject to a 180 day lock-up beginning November 30, 2010, as well as registration rights in the event that KEYW files specified stock registrations within six months from closing of the transaction.

KEYW, Sycamore and the Sellers have made customary representations and warranties in the Agreement.  The Agreement contains customary indemnification obligations of each party with respect to breaches of representations, warranties and covenants and certain other specified matters. Under the Agreement, an aggregate of $1.5 million will remain in escrow following the closing to satisfy potential indemnification claims by KEYW, with the escrow fund (less any indemnity amounts paid therefrom) to be released following the fifteen month anniversary of the closing, subject to pending indemnity claims and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
