NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

A G R E E M E N T:

1.             Definitions.

1.1           Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit 1.1.

1.2           Other Definitional Provisions.

(a)           Accounting terms which are not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them under GAAP. To the extent that the definition of an accounting term defined in this Agreement is inconsistent with the meaning of such term under GAAP, the definition set forth in this Agreement will control.

(b)           The terms “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and terms of similar import are references to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Section, clause, schedule and exhibit references contained in this Agreement are references to sections, clauses, schedules and exhibits in or to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

(d)           Any reference in this Agreement to gender shall include all genders and words imparting the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa.

2.             The Merger.

2.1           Terms of the Merger.

(a)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company in accordance with Virginia Law (the “Merger”), whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(b)           At the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub shall cause the articles of merger substantially in the form Exhibit 2.1(b) (the “Articles of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Virginia and make all other filings or recordings required by Virginia Law in connection with the Merger.  The Merger shall become effective at such time as a certificate of merger is issued by the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Virginia with respect to the merger or at such later time as may specified in the Articles of Merger as agreed between the Company and Buyer (the “Effective Time”).

(c)           From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to all the assets, rights, privileges, powers and franchises and be subject to all of the liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under Virginia Law.

2.2           Conversion of Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

2

(a)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(b), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Portion of the Final Merger Consideration, payable in cash.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Preliminary Merger Consideration” means (i) $124,000,000, minus (ii) the amount of Estimated Closing Indebtedness, minus (iii) Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, minus (iv) the amount of the Expense Funds retained by Representative in accordance with Section 13.1(f), minus (v) the amount, if any, by which the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital as determined in accordance with Section 4 herein, plus (vi) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital as determined in accordance with Section 4 herein.  The Preliminary Merger Consideration as finally adjusted pursuant to Section 4 is referred to herein as the “Final Merger Consideration.”

(b)           Each share of Company Common Stock held immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company as treasury stock or by Buyer or Merger Sub shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c)           Each share of Merger Sub’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non assessable share of common stock, $.01 par value, of the Surviving Corporation.

2.3           Options.  Each Option outstanding immediately prior to the Merger shall be fully vested and cancelled prior to the Merger.  As of the Effective Time, each Optionholder shall have the right to receive an amount in cash (the “Option Amount”) equal to (a) the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Option immediately prior to the Merger (after giving effect to such full vesting) (the “Option Shares”), and (ii) such Optionholder’s Per Share Portion of the Final Merger Consideration, minus (b) the aggregate exercise price of the Option, minus (c) applicable withholding Taxes.

2.4           Representations Regarding Capitalization.  The Option Amounts payable to each Optionholder and the Per Share Portion of the Preliminary Merger Consideration, the Final Merger Consideration, the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount have been calculated assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 5.5.  To the extent the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Options are greater than or less than the amount set forth in Section 5.5, the Option Amounts payable to each Optionholder and the Per Share Portion of the Preliminary Merger Consideration, the Final Merger Consideration, the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall be appropriately adjusted.

2.5           Exchange of Certificates; Lost Certificates.

(a)           At the Effective Time, each Shareholder shall surrender to Buyer certificates of Company Common Stock, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, representing the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder.

3

(b)           At the Closing, pursuant to the Merger each Shareholder who has surrendered his, her or its certificates of Company Common Stock, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, shall receive cash to which he, she or it is entitled under Section 2.2, less (i) such Shareholder’s Allocation Percentage of the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Shareholder who fails to deliver his, her or its certificate(s) of Company Common Stock at the Closing shall receive cash pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) promptly after Buyer’s receipt of such Shareholder’s certificate(s).

(c)           Surrendered certificates shall forthwith be canceled.  Until so surrendered and exchanged, each such certificate shall represent solely the right to receive, per share, the Per Share Portion of the Final Merger Consideration (subject to adjustment as provided herein) pursuant to Section 2.2, and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay the holder thereof the cash to which he, she or it would otherwise have been entitled.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon the making of an affidavit of such fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the providing of an indemnity by such Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate,  Buyer shall deliver to such Person, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Per Share Portion of the Final Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such certificate, as contemplated by this Section 2.5.

2.6           Effect of the Merger.

(a)           Articles of Incorporation.  The articles of incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in the Merger to read as set forth on Exhibit 2.6(a) and shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(b)           Bylaws.  The bylaws of Merger Sub in effect at the Effective Time shall be adopted as the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(c)           Directors and Officers.  From and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements (or their earlier resignation or removal), the directors of Merger Sub shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and the individuals listed on Exhibit 2.6(c) shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation .

2.7           Dissenters’ Rights.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected such holder’s right for appraisal of such shares in accordance with Virginia Law and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal (“Dissenting Shares”), if any, shall not be converted into the Preliminary Merger Consideration or the Final Merger Consideration but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Virginia Law.  The Company shall give Buyer prompt notice of any demand received by the Company to require the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, and Buyer shall have the right to direct and participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demand.

4

The Company agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, or as required under Virginia Law, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such purchase demand.  Each holder of Dissenting Shares (“Dissenting Shareholder”) who, pursuant to the provisions of Virginia Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value for shares of Company Common Stock shall receive payment therefor (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions).  If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, Buyer shall pay such Dissenting Shareholder the portion of the Preliminary Merger Consideration or Final Merger Consideration, as applicable, to which such shareholder would otherwise be entitled under Section 2.2 (less such Shareholder’s Allocation Percentage of the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount).

3.             The Closing.

3.1           The Closing.  The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10103 at 10:00 a.m. New York City as soon as practicable, but no less than two Business Days, following full satisfaction or due waiver of all of the closing conditions set forth in Section 10 hereof (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing), or on such other date as is mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Company.  The date and time of the Closing are referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

3.2           The Closing Transactions.  At the Closing, the parties hereto shall consummate the following transactions (the “Closing Transactions”):

(a)           the Company and Merger Sub shall cause the Articles of Merger to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Virginia;

(b)           subject to delivery and receipt of a duly executed Letter of Transmittal as provided in clause (g) below, Buyer shall deliver to each holder of Company Common Stock such holder’s Per Share Portion of the Preliminary Merger Consideration, less such holder’s Allocation Percentage of the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single account designated by the Representative in writing at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(c)           subject to delivery and receipt of a duly executed Letter of Transmittal as provided in clause (g) below, Buyer shall deliver to each Optionholder the amount (after applicable withholding Taxes) due to such Optionholder for such Optionholder’s cancelled Options under Section 2.3, less such Optionholder’s Allocation Percentage of the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single account designated by the Representative in writing at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(d)           subject to receipt of the payoff letters contemplated by Section 10.1, Buyer shall repay, or cause to be repaid, on behalf of the Company, all amounts necessary to discharge fully the then-outstanding balance of all Estimated Closing Indebtedness by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the holder of such Indebtedness;

5

(e)           Buyer, the Representative and the Company shall enter into an escrow agreement with the Escrow Agent effective as of the Closing Date which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2(e) (the “Escrow Agreement”);

(f)            Buyer shall deliver the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount to the Escrow Agent which shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement;

(g)           the Company shall deliver to Buyer one or more certificates, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.2(g)(i) representing all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time or affidavits of loss and indemnities as set forth in Section 2.5(c) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and each Optionholder shall deliver a duly executed Letter of Transmittal substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.2(g)(ii) in respect of the options to purchase Company Common Stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such Letter of Transmittal, a “Letter of Transmittal”);

(h)           Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company and the Shareholders, all Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses to each Person who is owed a portion thereof;

(i)            the Company shall deliver to Buyer written letters of resignation, effective as of the Effective Time, of each of the directors and officers of the Company requested by Buyer prior to the Closing.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of any Shareholder to satisfy any of the deliveries set forth in Section 3.2(g) shall not affect Buyer’s obligation to deliver to any other Shareholder such portion of the Final Merger Consideration (less such Shareholder’s Allocation Percentage of the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount) to which such other Shareholder is entitled at Closing.  If any Shareholder fails to satisfy any of the deliveries set forth in Section 3.2(g), the payment of such Shareholder’s portion of the Final Merger Consideration (less such Shareholder’s Allocation Percentage of the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Indemnity Holdback Amount) shall be made after the Closing, promptly after Buyer’s receipt of such Shareholder’s deliveries.

4.                                       Closing Estimates; Final Merger Consideration.

4.1                                 Closing Estimates.  At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Buyer (a) the Company’s good-faith estimate of the Company’s Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”) and Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), each as of the Closing Date (immediately prior to giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), based on the Company’s books and records and other information then available and calculated on a basis consistent with this Agreement, and (b) a schedule setting forth the Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”).  All calculations of Net Working Capital, Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses hereunder shall be made without duplication of any asset, liability, income or expense between such calculations.

6

4.2                                 Final Merger Consideration.  As promptly as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to prepare and deliver to the Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) a statement (the “Closing Statement”) as of the close of business on the Closing Date, setting forth the Surviving Corporation’s calculation of the Net Working Capital (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), Indebtedness (the “Closing Indebtedness”) and Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”) (immediately prior to giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), which shall be calculated on a basis consistent with this Agreement, including, as applicable Schedule 4.2 and the accounting principles and practices referred to therein in the same way, using the same methods, principles, conventions, policies and procedures (including the methodology used by the Company with respect to accruals and reserves to prepare the estimates described in Section 4.1).  The Closing Statement shall contain a calculation of the Final Merger Consideration based on the foregoing amounts of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses.  If Buyer does not deliver the Closing Statement to the Representative by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 60th day after the Closing Date (such date and time, the “Closing Statement Due Date”), the Preliminary Merger Consideration shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Shareholders.  To the extent any actions following the Closing with respect to the accounting books and records of the Surviving Corporation on which the Closing Statement and the foregoing calculations are to be based are not consistent with the Company’s past practices, such changes shall not be taken into account in preparing the Closing Statement or calculating the Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Indebtedness.

4.3                                 Access to Information.  The Surviving Corporation and Buyer shall (a) permit the Representative and his representatives to have full access to the books, records and other documents (including work papers, schedules, financial statements, memoranda, etc.) and shall cooperate with the Representative in seeking to obtain work papers from the Surviving Corporation pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement and calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Merger Consideration and provide the Representative with copies thereof (as reasonably requested by the Representative) and (b) provide the Representative and his representatives full access to the Surviving Corporation’s employees and accountants as reasonably requested by the Representative (including making the Surviving Corporation’s chief financial officer and certified public accountants available to respond to written or oral inquiries of the Representative or his representatives).  If the Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) disagrees with any part of the Surviving Corporation’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses or Final Merger Consideration as set forth on the Closing Statement, the Representative shall, within 30 days after the Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement, notify Buyer in writing of such disagreement by setting forth the Representative’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Merger Consideration and describing the basis for such disagreement (an “Objection Notice”); provided that the amount of Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses set forth in the Objection Notice shall not be less than the amount of the Estimated Closing Indebtedness and Estimated

7

Closing Transaction Expenses, respectively, paid at the Closing pursuant to Sections 2.2(a).  If the Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice to Buyer by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 30th day after the Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement, or if the Representative notifies Buyer in writing prior to that time that the Representative does not disagree with any part of the Surviving Corporation’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses or Final Merger Consideration as set forth on the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Shareholders.  If the Representative timely delivers an Objection Notice objecting to some but not all of the Closing Statement, those portions of the Closing Statement to which the Representative does not object shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Shareholders and any amounts not subject to an Objection Notice shall be distributed to the Shareholders in accordance with Section 2.2(a).  If an Objection Notice is delivered to Buyer, then Buyer and the Representatives (on behalf of the Shareholders) shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their disagreements with respect to the computation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and/or Final Merger Consideration.  In the event that Buyer and the Representative are unable to resolve all such disagreements within 30 days after Buyer’s receipt of such Objection Notice, Buyer or the Representative may submit such remaining disagreements to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or another nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as is reasonably acceptable to Buyer and the Representative (the “Accounting Firm”).

4.4                                 Disagreements.  If such disagreements are submitted to the Accounting Firm, Buyer and the Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve all remaining disagreements with respect to the computation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Merger Consideration identified in the Objection Notice as soon as practicable, but in any event shall direct the Accounting Firm to render a determination within 45 days after its retention.  The Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Surviving Corporation’s and the Representative’s respective calculations of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Merger Consideration that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Surviving Corporation and the Representative have been unable to agree.  In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party.  The Accounting Firm’s determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Merger Consideration shall be based solely on written materials submitted by Buyer and the Representatives (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definition of “Closing Net Working Capital,” “Closing Indebtedness,” “Closing Transaction Expenses” and “Final Merger Consideration” included herein and the other provisions of this Agreement, including, as applicable, Schedule 4.2 and the accounting principles and practices referred to therein.  The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review (other than with respect to errors in arithmetic calculations).

8

4.5                                 Costs and Expenses.  The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm in determining the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Merger Consideration shall be borne by the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders), on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party.  For example, if the Closing Statement claims the Closing Net Working Capital is $1,000 less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, and the Representative contest only $500 of the amount claimed by the Surviving Corporation, and if the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Surviving Corporation $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Surviving Corporation.  In connection with its determination of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Lease Buyout Amounts, Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Merger Consideration the Accounting Firm shall, pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.5, also determine the allocation of its fees and expenses between the Surviving Corporation and the Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders), which such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review (other than with respect to errors in arithmetic calculations).  Any costs and expenses payable by the Representative pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.5 shall be paid solely from the Expense Funds.

4.6                                 Adjustments.  Within five Business Days after the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Merger Consideration are finally determined pursuant to this Section 4:

(a)                                  if the Final Merger Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 4 exceeds the Preliminary Merger Consideration paid at Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, to each Shareholder and Optionholder in cash an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess of the Final Merger Consideration over the Preliminary Merger Consideration, and (y) such Shareholder’s or Optionholder’s Allocation Percentage;

(b)                                 if the Preliminary Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Merger Consideration, then the Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) shall pay Buyer an amount in cash equal to such excess of Preliminary Merger Consideration over Final Merger Consideration (the “Buyer Adjustment Amount”), out of the Adjustment Holdback Amount and to the extent that the Adjustment Holdback Amount is insufficient to satisfy the Buyer Adjustment Amount, then the Representative shall distribute the entire Adjustment Holdback Amount to Buyer as provided above and, as provided in the Letters of Transmittal, each of the Shareholders and Optionholders, severally as to itself, himself or herself only and not jointly as to or with any other Shareholder or Optionholder, shall pay to or as directed by Buyer its, his or her pro rata portion (based on its, his or her Allocation Percentage) of the amount of such deficiency within five Business Days of being directed by Buyer to make such payment. In the event that any Shareholder or Optionholder shall fail to pay the amount of such deficiency within the period specified in the immediately preceding sentence (a “Defaulting Shareholder”), Buyer may deliver written notice to the Representative setting forth such amount, and Buyer and the Representative will, within three Business Days of the Representative’s receipt of such notice, direct the Escrow Agent to pay such amount to Buyer out of the Defaulting Shareholder’s portion of the Indemnity Holdback Amount; provided that, pursuant the Letters of Transmittal, the Defaulting Shareholder shall promptly restore such amount to the Indemnity Holdback Amount to the extent any funds are so paid and shall remain liable for such amount in the event such Defaulting Shareholder’s

9

remaining portion of the Indemnity Holdback Amount is insufficient to cover such Defaulting Shareholder’s proportionate responsibility for any amounts properly payable out of the Indemnity Holdback Amount. No failure of Buyer to deliver a notice of the type specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall relieve any Shareholder or Optionholder of its obligation to pay its several portion of such deficiency to Buyer.

(c)                                  All payments pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall be treated by all parties for tax purposes as adjustments to the Final Merger Consideration.

4.7                                 Withholding.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Preliminary Merger Consideration, Final Merger Consideration, Adjustment Holdback Amount or Indemnity Holdback Amount (as the case may be) otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Legal Requirements.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Shareholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer or the Surviving Corporation.  If, under the terms of this Agreement, such payment is paid to such recipients by Buyer or the Surviving Corporation and any required withholding is not made, then such recipients shall make appropriate provision (and each such recipient hereby authorizes Buyer and the Surviving Corporation to take such action as may be appropriate in connection therewith) for payment of any appropriate withholding Taxes to the Company so that such withholding Taxes may be paid to the appropriate Governmental Body, and such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable recipients in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

5.                                       Representations and Warranties of the Company.

The Company represents and warrants to Buyer and Merger Sub that the statements in this Section 5 are correct and complete, except as set forth in the schedules accompanying this Section 5 (collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”).  The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged in separately numbered sections corresponding to the sections of this Section 5; however, the disclosure of any item in any section of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Disclosure Schedules to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent.  Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement.

5.1                                 Organization and Corporate Power.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under Virginia Law.  The Company has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on the Business as now conducted.  The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing (or its equivalent) in every jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of the Business as now conducted requires it to qualify, all of which jurisdictions are set forth on Schedule 5.1, except where the failure to be so qualified could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to (a) subject the Company to any material liability or (y)

10

adversely affect in any material respect the Company’s ability to conduct the Business following the Closing as presently conducted.  Since January 1, 2005, the Company has not conducted the Business under any corporate, trade or fictitious name.  The Company has made available to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and Dauntless.  The minute books of the Company and Dauntless made available to Buyer contain a complete and accurate summary of all meetings of directors, committees of directors and shareholders or actions by written consent since the time of incorporation of the Company and Dauntless, and reflect all transactions referred to in such minutes accurately in all material respects.

5.2                                 Subsidiaries.  Dauntless is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Legal Requirements of its jurisdiction of organization. Except as set forth on the attached Schedule 5.2, the Company does not, directly or indirectly own, of record or beneficially, or directly or indirectly hold, the right to acquire any stock, partnership interest or joint venture interest or other equity ownership interest in any other Person. The Company owns all of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of the Company’s Subsidiaries free and clear of all Encumbrances other than restrictions under applicable securities Legal Requirements.

5.3                                 Authorization of Agreement.

(a)                                  The Company has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated by this Agreement or to be executed by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (the “Seller Documents”), and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  All acts and other proceedings required to be taken by the Company, including acts and proceedings of the Company’s sole director and the Shareholders, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Seller Documents by the Company and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by Company have been duly taken.  This Agreement has been, and each Seller Document will be at or prior to the Closing, duly executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto) this Agreement constitutes, and each Seller Document when so executed and delivered will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Legal Requirements affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(b)                                 The affirmative vote of the holders of at least majority of the outstanding Company Common Stock present (in person or by proxy) and voting at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders called to approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or acting by written consent in lieu of such a meeting is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock necessary to approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under Virginia Law (the “Required Vote”)

8.6           Covenant Not to Compete.

(a)           The Shareholders acknowledge that they have extensive knowledge and a unique understanding of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business, have been directly involved with the establishment and continued development of the business’ customer relations and have had access to all of the proprietary and Confidential Information used in the business.  The Shareholders further acknowledge that if they or any of their Affiliates were to compete with the Company and its Subsidiaries in such business following the Closing, great harm would come to the Company, thereby destroying value associated with the acquisition of the Company and the goodwill of their business.  In furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to more effectively protect the value of the business so sold, each Shareholder covenants and agrees that, for a period of five years from and after the Closing Date, (the “Restricted Period”), the such Shareholders shall not, and shall cause Ntrepid, Anonymizer and the Shareholders’ respective Affiliates not to, whether for compensation or without compensation, directly or indirectly, as an owner, principal, partner, member, shareholder, independent contractor, consultant, joint venturer, investor, licensor, lender or in any other capacity whatsoever, alone, or in association with any other Person, carry on, be engaged or take part in, or render services (other than services which are generally offered to third parties) or advice to, own, share in the earnings of, invest in the stocks, bonds or other securities of, or otherwise become financially interested in, any Person engaged in any business that is competitive with the Business (a “Restricted Business”). Neither of the following, of itself, shall of itself constitute a breach hereunder: (i) the record or beneficial ownership by any Restricted Shareholder or Affiliate thereof of up to one percent of the shares of any corporation whose shares are publicly traded on

38

a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market; nor (ii) the provision by any Shareholder of unpaid consulting services to Governmental Bodies in the intelligence and national securities communities in the United States.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8.6 shall not be applicable to David L. Gokey, Brad Joseph Juneau or Rodney G. Smith.

(b)           During the Restricted Period, the Shareholders shall not and shall cause Ntrepid, Anonymizer and the Shareholders’ respective Affiliates not to, whether for their own account or for the account of any Person, provide the Restricted Business, endeavor to entice away from the Company or Dauntless, or otherwise interfere with the relationship of the Company or Dauntless with, any Person that, (A) during the Restricted Period, is employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Company or Dauntless (unless such Person has not been employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Company or Dauntless for a period of 12 months or more) or (B) during the Restricted Period, is, or, during the one-year period preceding the Effective Time, was, a customer or supplier of the Company or Dauntless.

(c)           The provisions of Section 8.6(a) and 8.6(b) (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”) have been separately bargained for to protect the Business, including goodwill, being acquired by Buyer hereunder and to ensure that Buyer shall have the full benefit of the value thereof.  The Shareholders recognize and acknowledge that the business and markets of the Buyer Group are international in scope, and that Buyer is investing substantial sums in acquiring the Company and in consideration for the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Agreement, that such covenants are necessary in order to protect and maintain the legitimate business interests of the Buyer Group and are reasonable in all respects, and that Buyer would not consummate the transactions contemplated hereby but for such agreements. The Shareholders hereby waive any and all right to contest the validity of the Restrictive Covenants on the ground of the breadth of their geographic or product coverage or the length of their term.  The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that a substantial and legally sufficient portion of Final Merger Consideration is attributable to the Restrictive Covenants and the Shareholders hereby waive any right to assert inadequacy of consideration as a defense to enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants should such enforcement ever become necessary.

(d)           If the Shareholders or any of their Affiliates breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Buyer Group shall have, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to them under law or in equity, the rights to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Buyer Group and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy.  The Shareholders covenant and agree not to oppose any demand for specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in case of any such breach or attempted breach, other than based on a good faith belief that no such breach or attempted breach has occurred.

(e)           The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Shareholders or any of their Affiliates against any member of the Buyer Group shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Buyer Group of the Restrictive Covenants, but such claim or cause of action shall be litigated separately.

39

(f)            In addition to the remedies the Buyer Group may seek and obtain pursuant to Section 8.6(d), the Restricted Period shall be extended by any and all periods during which any Shareholder or any of its Affiliates shall be found by a final non-appealable judgment of a court possessing personal jurisdiction over it to have been in violation of the Restrictive Covenants.

(g)           Whenever possible, each provision of this Section 8.6 shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Legal Requirements but if any provision of this Section 8.6 shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Legal Requirements, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Section 8.6.  If any provision of this Section 8.6 shall, for any reason, be judged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this Section 8.6 but shall be confined in its operation to the provision of this Section 8.6 directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered. In the event that the provisions of this Section 8.6 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or geographic limitations permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, then such provision shall be reformed to the maximum time or geographic limitations permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

9.             Additional Covenants of the Parties.

9.1           Further Assurances.  From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such party’s expense, any other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.2           Antitrust Notification.

(a)           The Company and Buyer shall, as promptly as practicable and before the expiration of any relevant legal deadline, but in no event later than five Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, file with (i) the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice, the notification and report form required for the transactions contemplated hereby and any supplemental information requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act, which forms shall specifically request early termination of the waiting period prescribed by the HSR Act. Each of the Company and Buyer shall furnish to each other’s counsel such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act. Buyer shall be solely responsible for all filing fees payable in connection with such filings. The Company shall bear any fees and expenses of counsel retained by it in connection with any such filings.

(b)           The Company and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain any clearance required under the HSR Act for the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from any Governmental Body and shall comply as promptly as reasonably practicable with any such inquiry or request. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be required to sell, divest, hold separate, or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any businesses, services, assets, or any interest in any businesses, services or assets.

40

(c)           The parties hereto commit to instruct their respective counsel to cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate and expedite the identification and resolution of any issues arising under the HSR Act at the earliest practicable dates. Such commercially reasonable efforts and cooperation include counsel’s undertaking (i) to keep each other appropriately informed of communications from and to personnel of the reviewing Governmental Bodies, and (ii) to confer with each other regarding appropriate contacts with and response to personnel of such Governmental Bodies and the content of any such contacts or presentations. Neither the Company nor Buyer shall participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Body with respect of any such filings, applications, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting or discussion and, to the extent permitted by the relevant Governmental Body, the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion (which, at the request of either Buyer or the Company, shall be limited to outside antitrust counsel only). The Company and Buyer shall each accept reasonable comments with respect to the content of any presentations, white papers or other written materials to be submitted to any Governmental Body in advance of any such submission.

9.3           Confidentiality.

(a)           The parties acknowledge that Buyer and BB&T Capital Markets/Windsor Group have previously executed a non disclosure agreement dated July 20, 2010 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which is hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the parties hereto shall take all actions necessary to cause the Confidentiality Agreement to terminate upon the Closing.

(b)           From and after the Effective Time, the Shareholders will and will cause their respective employees, consultants, independent contractors, advisors and other representatives (collectively, “Seller Representatives”) to, treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to the Company or destroy, at the request and option of the Company, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in its possession.  In the event that any Shareholder or Seller Representative is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Shareholder or Seller Representative will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.3(b).  If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Shareholders and the Seller representatives are, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the Shareholders and the Seller representatives may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the Shareholders and the Seller Representatives shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the request and sole cost and expense of Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer shall designate.

41

The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure.  For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean any information concerning the Businesses and the affairs of the Company and Dauntless that is not already generally available to the public, but shall not include any information directly concerning the business of Ntrepid or Anonymizer.  The provisions of this Section 9.3(b) shall survive the termination of or Closing under this Agreement.

(c)           From and after the Effective Time, Buyer and its Affiliates will, and will cause their respective employees, consultants, independent contractors, advisors and other representatives (collectively, “Buyer Representatives”) to, treat and hold as confidential, and not disclose to any third party, any and all information concerning the business of Ntrepid or Anonymizer (the “Ntrepid Confidential Information”), refrain from using any of the Ntrepid Confidential Information except as may be necessary in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to the Representative or destroy, at the request and option of the Representative, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Ntrepid Confidential Information which are in its possession.  In the event that Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any of the Buyer Representatives is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Ntrepid Confidential Information, Buyer will notify the Representative promptly of the request or requirement so that the Representative may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.3(c).  If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any of the Buyer Representatives is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Ntrepid Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, Buyer or its Affiliates or the applicable Buyer Representatives may disclose the Ntrepid Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that Buyer and its Affiliate shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the request and sole cost and expense of Ntrepid, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Ntrepid Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Representative shall designate.  The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Ntrepid Confidential Information which is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure.  The provisions of this Section 9.3(c) shall survive the termination of or Closing under this Agreement.

9.4           Publicity.  Neither any Shareholder and the Company on the one hand nor Buyer on the other hand shall issue any press release or public announcement (including any broadly issued statement or announcement to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other party hereto, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, provided that, the party intending to make such release shall use its best efforts consistent with such applicable Legal Requirements to consult with the other party with respect to the text thereof.

9.5           Use of Name.  The Shareholders hereby agree that upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer and the Company shall have the sole ownership of, and right to the use, the name “Abraxas,” “Abraxas Corporation” and “Abraxas Dauntless, Inc.” and the Shareholders shall not, and shall not cause or permit Anonymizer or any Affiliate of any Shareholder to, use such names or any variation or simulation thereof in any business.

9.6           Supplementation and Amendment of Schedules.  From time to time prior to the Closing, the Company shall promptly supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules with respect to (a) any matter existing or occurring prior to the date of this Agreement that was required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedules but was not previously set forth or described therein, and (b) any matter arising after the date of this Agreement that, if existing or occurring prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Disclosure Schedules; provided, however, Buyer may extend the Closing Date for a period of up to 10 Business Days in order to consider the effect of such supplement or amendment.  No supplement or amendment of the Disclosure Schedules made pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be deemed to cure any breach of, affect or otherwise diminish any representation or warranty made in this Agreement unless Buyer specifically agrees thereto in writing. Any such supplement or amendment shall be ignored in determining the satisfaction of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 10.1.

9.7           Employee Benefits.

(a)           Buyer agrees that all employees of the Company and Dauntless who continue employment after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Company’s Plans (other that any stock purchase, stock option or other similar equity compensation Plans), or other Plans that are not less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by such Plans as of the date hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Company or Buyer to: (i)  amend or terminate any Plan in accordance with such Plan or (ii) transfer the Company employees to the Plans of Buyer.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any employee to employment, and the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment except as otherwise provided under a written employment agreement.

(b)           If and to the extent any employees of Anonymizer participate in any Plan and/or the Company or Dauntless has any obligations to or with respect to any current or former employees of Anonymizer (or any of their respective dependents or beneficiaries), then, prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause such participation to end (e.g., by spinning off the plan assets and liabilities attributable to such Anonymizer employees) and shall cause any such other obligations to be transferred to and assumed by Anonymizer, such that, as of the Closing Date, the only participants in the Plans of the Company and Dauntless shall be current or former employees of the Company or Dauntless (or their respective dependents and beneficiaries) and neither the Company nor Dauntless shall have any obligation to or with respect to any person who is a current or former employee of Anonymizer.

9.8           Tax Matters.

(a)           The Representative shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Shareholders, prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns with respect to each of the Company and its Subsidiaries required to be filed (taking into account any extensions) for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date.  The Representative also shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns

43

with respect to each Subsidiary of the Company which is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company after the Closing Date that relates to a Tax period which begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (such period, a “Straddle Period”).  The cost and expense of preparing such Tax Returns shall be borne by each such Subsidiary which is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company after the Closing Date. In the preparation of any such Tax Returns, no election shall be made which would reduce the net operating loss of the Company described in Section 5.16(i) hereof, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.  The Representative shall deliver to Buyer, for Buyer’s review, comment and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), a draft copy of any such Tax Return, which the Representative is responsible under this Section 9.8(a) for preparing and filing, no later than 30 days prior to the required filing date of such Tax Return (including extensions thereof).  In connection with such review, Buyer shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the Company’s financial books and records.  All Tax Returns prepared by or for the Company pursuant to this Section 9.8(a) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.  The failure of Buyer to propose any changes to any such proposed Tax Return at least 10 days prior to the required filing date of such Tax Return (including extensions thereof) shall be deemed to constitute its approval thereof.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall execute and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns described in this Section 9.8(a) which it is required to file and shall pay or cause to be paid the amount of any Taxes shown due thereon to the appropriate Governmental Body.  Each Subsidiary of the Company which is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company after the Closing Date shall execute and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns described in this Section 9.8(a) which it is required to file and shall pay or cause to be paid the amount of any Taxes shown due thereon to the appropriate Governmental Body.

(b)           Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed when due (taking into account any extensions) (i) each income Tax Return of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date which has not been filed before the Closing Date, and (ii) each income or other Tax Return relating to a Tax period ending after the Closing Date, including any Straddle Period, of the Company, Dauntless and any other Subsidiary of the Company which continues to be a Subsidiary of the Company after the Closing Date.  In the case of any such Tax Return relating to a Tax period or portion of a Tax period with respect to which the Shareholders have an obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 12.2, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the required filing date of such Tax Return (including extensions thereof), Buyer shall submit a draft of such Tax Return to the Representative for his review, comment and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The failure of the Representative to propose any changes to such draft Tax Return at least ten (10) days prior to the required filing date of such Tax Return (including extensions thereof) shall be deemed to constitute its approval thereof.  Not later than five days prior to the required filing date of any such Tax Return (including extensions thereof), the Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to that portion of the Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns for which the Shareholders have an obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 12.2.

44

(c)           For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date: (i) in the case of real property, personal property, and other Taxes not imposed on the basis of income or receipts, shall be based on a daily proration of such Taxes, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, shall be based on an interim closing of the books of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which any Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate as of the close of business on the Closing Date).

(d)           In the event a Governmental Body asserts a claim for Taxes with respect to which the Shareholders are obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 12.2 (a “Tax Claim”), Buyer shall notify the Representative of such Tax Claim within ten (10) days after its receipt of notice thereof from the Governmental Body.  With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Closing Period (other than the portion of any Straddle Period), the Representative shall have the right, at its own expense, to control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim; provided, however, that if the resolution of such Tax Claim could reasonably be expected to affect the liability for Taxes of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, including the Company or Dauntless, for any Post-Closing Period, the Representative shall not settle any such proceeding without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Buyer and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall reasonably cooperate with the Representative in contesting any Tax Claim under this Section 9.8, which cooperation shall include the retention and, upon request and at the expense of the Representative, the provision of records and information relating to a Pre-Closing Period which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim and making employees available to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder.  Buyer shall control all proceedings with respect to any Tax Claim relating to any Straddle Period, provided, however, that if the results of any such contest could reasonably be expected to affect the amount of the Shareholders’ indemnification obligation to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 12.2(iv), then the Representative shall, at its own expense, have a right to participate in the defense and settlement of any such Tax Claim, each party shall cooperate with the other party and there shall be no settlement or closing or other agreement with respect to such Tax Claim without the consent of both Buyer and the representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by either of them.

(e)           Buyer and the Representative shall, and each shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other such reasonable cooperation and information, as and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, any audit, litigation or other proceeding, Tax Claim  or other Tax matter of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to an event which occurred during a Pre-Closing Period.  Buyer and the Shareholders shall, upon request, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be reasonably necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements any Tax that could be imposed for a Pre-Closing Period or the portion of a Straddle Period ending at the close of business on the Closing Date (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

45

(f)            At the Closing or, if due thereafter, promptly when due, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property transfer, stock transfer, recording, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (other than any such Taxes relating to or arising from the Related Transactions, which shall be paid by the Shareholders, and against which Buyer is indemnified as provided in this Section 9.8) shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by the Shareholders when due, regardless of whether such Taxes are technically owed by the Shareholders or Buyer.  Buyer shall prepare any Tax Returns with respect to such Taxes, and the Representative shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in the preparation of such Tax Returns.  If required by applicable law, the Shareholders shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and any other related documents.  The expense of such Tax Return preparation and filings shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by the Shareholders.

(g)           Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company or Dauntless after the Closing) shall file any amended Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Period for or in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could affect the amount of the Shareholders’ indemnification liability pursuant to Section 12.2(iv) without the prior written consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(h)           Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company and Dauntless after the Closing) shall make the election under Code section 338(g) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.9           Payment of Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses.

(a)           No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company will deliver or shall cause to be delivered to Buyer:

(i)            a payoff letter from each holder of any Indebtedness, which letter shall specify the aggregate amount required to be paid in order to repay in full the Indebtedness related to such payoff letter (including any and all accrued but unpaid interest and prepayment penalty obligations and breakage costs due upon repayment) and payment instructions on the projected Closing Date, as well as the per diem amount to be added thereto in the event that the actual Closing Date is a date subsequent to the projected Closing Date.  Each such payoff letter shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and will include customary undertakings to release in full, upon payment of the amounts set forth in such payoff letters, all Encumbrances securing the Indebtedness related to such payoff letter and to promptly prepare and file with the appropriate governmental and other offices such instruments as may be required to effect or evidence such release; and

(ii)           invoices or other documents reasonably satisfactory to Buyer detailing the Transaction Expenses.

(b)           The Company and the Shareholders acknowledge that the Indebtedness and the Transaction Expenses are obligations of the Company or the Shareholders incurred on or before the Closing Date, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to make them obligations of Buyer or Merger Sub.  Payment of such Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses by Buyer on behalf of the Company or the Shareholders on the Closing Date is being made for convenience only and the amounts of such payments are included as reductions in the calculation of the Preliminary Merger Consideration and the Final Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2(a).

46

9.10         Preservation of Records.  The Shareholders and Buyer agree that each of them shall preserve and keep the records held by them relating to the Business for a period of five years from the Closing Date and shall make such records and personnel available to the other as may be reasonably required by such party in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, Legal Proceedings against or governmental investigations of, the Shareholders or Buyer or any of their Affiliates or in order to enable the Shareholders or  Buyer to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby.  In the event the Shareholders or Buyer wishes to destroy such records within five years of the Closing Date, such party shall first give 90 days prior written notice to the other and such other party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such party within that 90-day period, to take possession of the records.

9.11         Company Shareholder Approval.

(a)           Promptly after the date hereof, the Company and the Shareholders shall take all necessary action in accordance with applicable Virginia Law to notify all Shareholders who have not previously provided their written consent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of the taking of such action by Shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding Company Common Stock by written consent (the “Shareholders Notice”).

(b)           The Company shall provide Buyer (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any and all materials submitted to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Shareholders Notice.  None of such information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Shareholders Notice will, at the time first distributed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(c)           Each Shareholder agrees:

(i)            not to transfer (except as may be specifically required by court order or by operation of Legal Requirements), sell, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber the shares of Company Common Stock prior to earlier of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, except in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii)           prior to earlier of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders called for the purpose of obtaining the Required Vote and at any adjournment thereof, and on every action or approval by written resolution of the shareholders of Company with respect to any of the following, such Shareholder shall vote all shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Shareholder in favor of approval of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Merger and any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the Merger.

12.2         Indemnification by the Shareholders.  Subject to the limitations set forth in the remainder of this Section 12, each Shareholder shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties (as defined below) against and hold them harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, damages or expense (including reasonable legal fees, but excluding any allocation of overhead, including any cost of employing their own employees) (“Losses”) suffered or incurred by Buyer, or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), officers, directors, employees or agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) to the extent arising from: (i) any breach of, or any inaccuracy or misrepresentation with respect to, any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Section 5, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company to be performed prior to Closing, (iii) any breach of, or inaccuracy or misrepresentation with respect to, any representation or warranty, or any covenant or agreement, of such Shareholder contained in Section 6 or in such Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal, (iv) any and all Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Tax period, or portion of a Straddle Period, ending on or before the Closing Date (either, a “Pre-Closing Period”), including (1) any and all Taxes relating to the income, business, activities, operations, property or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Period, (2) any such Taxes for which any of the Company and its Subsidiaries is or may be or become severally liable under Treas. Reg. §1.1502-6 or §1.1502-78(b)(2) (or any similar provision under any applicable Legal Requirements) or by reason of being a successor-in-interest or transferee of any Person, and (3) any and all Taxes resulting from the Related Transactions, (v) any Indebtedness, liabilities, obligations or commitments of Ntrepid or Anonymizer; and (vi) any consent solicitation materials or other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to its shareholders in connection with the Shareholders Notice or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by or on behalf of the Company or the Shareholders in connection with obtaining the Required Vote; provided that:

(a)           the Shareholders shall be liable for making payments to Buyer pursuant to this Section 12.2(iv) only to the extent that the amount that would otherwise be payable by the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 12.2(iv) (notwithstanding this proviso) exceeds the amount of the provision for the specific Tax Liability for which indemnity is sought included in the provision for Taxes taken into account in calculating Closing Net Working Capital;

(b)           the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover under Section 12.2(i), except with respect to breaches of the Shareholder Fundamental Representations or Losses relating to Taxes, until the total amount which the Buyer Indemnified Parties would otherwise recover under Section 12.2(i) (but for this Section 12.2(b)) exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $900,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of any such excess;

(c)           the aggregate liability of the Shareholders under Section 12.2(i), except with respect to breaches of the Shareholder Fundamental Representations and the representations set forth in Sections 5.16 and 5.17(e), shall in no event exceed $25,000,000 (the “Cap”);

54

(d)           no Shareholder shall have any liability under Section 12.2(iii) with respect to any breach, inaccuracy or misrepresentation of any other Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal or with respect to any other Shareholder’s representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 6;

(e)           the aggregate liability of any Shareholder under this Section 12.2 shall in no event exceed the consideration actually realized by such Shareholder in respect of such Shareholder’s shares of Company Common Stock and Option Shares; and

12.3         Exclusive Remedy.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, except for the post-closing adjustments provided for in Section 4, its sole and exclusive remedy against the Shareholders (including the Representative) with respect to any and all claims relating (directly or indirectly) to the Company and its Subsidiaries, the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of the Legal Requirement or legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, shall be pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section 12; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to claims based upon fraud.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall have no right to indemnification under Section 12.2 with respect to any Loss or alleged Loss if the matter forming the basis for such Loss or alleged Loss shall have been taken into account in the determination of the Closing Net Working Capital. The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on Buyer’s remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Section 12.2 and this Section 12.3) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Shareholders (including the Representative) hereunder.

12.4         Claims First Satisfied from Indemnity Holdback Account.  Each claim against the Shareholders shall first be satisfied from the Indemnity Holdback Amount.  To the extent that the Indemnity Holdback Amount (including the interest or other income accrued thereon) (a) has been distributed, pro rata, to the Shareholders in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, (b) has been exhausted or (c) would be exhausted if one or more pending claims against the Shareholders are resolved in favor of a Buyer Indemnified Party, then subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 12, such claim may be made directly against the Shareholders.

12.5         Indemnification by Buyer.

(a)           Buyer shall indemnify the Shareholders (including the Representative), their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Shareholder Indemnified Parties”) against and hold them harmless from any Losses suffered or incurred by any such Shareholder Indemnified Party (i) arising from any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement; (ii) resulting from any breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement requiring performance by Buyer or Merger Sub prior

55

to the Closing or by Buyer or the Surviving Corporation after the Closing and (iii) with respect to any and all Taxes of, or attributable to, the Company or Dauntless, or for which Buyer, the Company or Dauntless may be liable with respect to any Tax period, or portion of a Straddle Period, beginning after the Closing Date (either, a “Post-Closing Period”).

(b)           (i) The Shareholder Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover under Section 12.5(a)(i), except with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.1 (Organization and Corporate Power), 7.2 (Authorization) and 7.5 (Brokers), until the total amount which the Shareholder Indemnified Parties would otherwise recover under Section 12.5(a)(i) (but for this Section 12.5(b)) exceeds the Deductible, and then only to the extent of any such excess, and (ii) the aggregate liability of Buyer under Section 12.5(a)(i) shall in no event exceed the Cap.

(c)           After the Closing, no Shareholder Indemnified Party shall have the right to seek indemnification from the Company or Dauntless by reason of the fact that he or she was an officer, director of employee of the Company or Dauntless in respect of any claim for indemnification by Buyer hereunder.

12.6         Termination of Indemnification.  The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party hereto in respect of a breach of representation or warranty or covenant shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty or covenant expires pursuant to Section 12.1; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Indemnified Party shall have, prior to the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice (which notice shall, to the extent such information is reasonably available, specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such claim) to the Indemnifying Party.  In order to determine the validity and/or the amount of any such claim, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide the Representative and his representatives reasonable access, upon the reasonable request of the Representative, to (i) all books, records and other documents (including work papers, memoranda, financial statements, Tax Returns, Tax schedules and work papers, Tax rulings, and other determinations, etc.) relating to or containing information relevant to such claim and (ii) the Surviving Corporation’s employees, accountants and other professional advisors (including making the Surviving Corporation’s chief financial officer, accountants and attorneys available to respond to reasonable written or oral inquiries of the Representative and their representatives).

12.7         Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a)           In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of a claim or demand made by any other Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after receipt, by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided that failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.

56

(b)           If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation on any claims contained in Sections 12.2 and 12.3. Should an Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) is the Indemnifying Party, the reasonable expenses of the Representative incurred in defending a Third-Party Claim (or any participation in a Third-Party Claim that could result in Losses to the Representative) shall be reimbursed, when and as incurred, first from the Indemnity Holdback Amount. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third-Party Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party shall have elected not to assume the defense of or fails to confirm its obligation to indemnify for a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). This Section 12.7 shall not apply to claims for Losses asserted directly by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnifying Party where no Third-Party Claim has been made.

12.8         Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.  .  Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Section 12 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Merger Consideration for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment made pursuant to this Section 12 (including, without limitation, this Section 12.8) is determined to be taxable to the party receiving such payment by any Governmental Body, the paying party shall also indemnify the party receiving such payment for any Taxes incurred by reason of receipt of such payment (taking into account any actual reduction in Tax liability to the receiving party) and any Losses incurred by the party receiving such payment in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).

57

12.9         Materiality.  Solely for purposes of determining the amount of any Losses (and not the threshold issue as to whether or not there is a breach of, or any inaccuracy or misrepresentation with respect to any representation or warranty in any manner that indemnification would be available under Section 12.2(i)), all qualifications in such representation or warranty as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (or any correlative terms) shall be disregarded.

12.10       Additional Provisions.

(a)           The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Section 12 shall be reduced by (i) any amounts that may be recovered by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates from any third party, (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or source of reimbursement that are actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Damages (each source named in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Collateral Source”) and (c) the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in the year the Loss is incurred.  For purposes hereof, a Tax benefit will be deemed to be “actually realized” only to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable by the Indemnified Party is reduced below the amount of Taxes that the Indemnified Party would have been required to pay but for payment or accrual of the indemnified Loss or the receipt or accrual of the indemnity payment (rather than just creating or increasing a Tax loss carryforward).  In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, (X) the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss, and (Y) the Tax benefit shall be reduced to take into account any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder.

(b)           If the amount of any Losses actually paid to an Indemnified Party with respect to any indemnification claim is required to be reduced under Section 12.10(a) after the date on which the Indemnifying Party pays such indemnification claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Section 12 had such reduction been determined at or prior to the time of such payment.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or provided for under any applicable law, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party, either in contract or in tort, for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations with respect to liabilities of any Indemnified Party for damages that are awarded to a third party by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision in connection with a Third Party Claim.

58

13.           Miscellaneous.

13.1         Representative.

(a)           By the execution and delivery of this Agreement pursuant to Virginia Law, the Shareholders hereby irrevocably appoint the Representative as the representative, agent, proxy, and attorney in fact for all the Shareholders for all purposes under this Agreement including the full power and authority to act on the Shareholders ‘ behalf: (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith (including pursuant to Section 4); (ii) to negotiate disputes arising under, or relating to, this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith (including pursuant to Section 4 hereof); (iii) to receive and disburse to the Shareholders any funds received on behalf of the Shareholders under this Agreement or otherwise; (iv) to withhold any amounts received on behalf of the Shareholders to this Agreement or otherwise to satisfy any and all obligations or liabilities incurred by the Shareholders or the Representative in the performance of their duties hereunder; (v) to execute and deliver any amendment or waiver to this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith (without the prior approval of the Stockholders); and (vi) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Shareholders in connection with this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 4 hereof) and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith. The Shareholders, by executing and delivering this Agreement, further agree that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Shareholders. All decisions and actions by the Representative shall be binding upon all of the Shareholders, and no Shareholders shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Representative shall have no duties or obligations hereunder, including any fiduciary duties, except those set forth herein, and such duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. The power of attorney granted by each Stockholder to the Representative pursuant to this Section 13.1 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and shall not terminate or otherwise be affected by the death, disability, incompetence, bankruptcy or insolvency of any Shareholders.

(b)           By the execution and delivery of this Agreement pursuant to Virginia Law, each Stockholder hereby severally, for itself only and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Representative and his agents and other representatives against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts incurred by such Persons in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Representative or such other Person is made a party by reason of the fact that it is or was acting as the Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c)           Neither the Representative nor any of his agents or other representatives shall incur any liability to any Shareholders by virtue of the failure or refusal of such Persons for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of their duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting intentional and knowing fraud. The Representative and his representatives shall have no liability in respect of any action, claim or proceeding brought against such Persons by any Shareholders, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, if such Persons took or omitted taking any action in good faith.

59

(d)           A majority-in-interest of the Shareholders may, by written consent, appoint a new representative as the Representative, with the prior consent of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that the consent of Buyer shall not be required if the new Representative is to be an Affiliate of the prior Representative. Notice together with a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signatures of Shareholders of a majority-in-interest of those Shareholders must be delivered to Buyer not less than 10 days prior to such appointment. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Buyer. For the purposes of this paragraph (d), a “majority-in-interest of the Shareholders” shall mean Shareholders representing in the aggregate over 50% of the percentage interests of the Indemnity Holdback Amount.

(e)           In the event that the Representative becomes unable or unwilling to continue in his or its capacity as Representative, or if the Representative resigns as the Representative, a majority-in-interest of the Shareholders may, by written consent, appoint a new representative as the Representative. Notice and a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signatures of a majority-in-interest of the Shareholders must be delivered to Buyer. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Buyer.

(f)            The Representative shall be entitled to recover from the Shareholders in accordance with their respective Allocation Percentage any fees and expenses that the Representative may incur in his capacity as such pursuant to this Agreement. In that regard, the Representative shall be entitled to retain $200,000 of the Preliminary Merger Consideration (the “Expense Funds”) as a reserve against the payment of expenses incurred in his capacity as the Representative, to be used by the Representative to pay any expenses incurred by the Representative in such capacity. Upon the date at which the Representative determines, in his sole discretion, that the Representative will not incur any additional expenses in his capacity as the Representative, then the Representative will distribute the remaining unused Expense Funds, if any, to the Shareholders pro rata in proportion to their respective Allocation Percentages.

13.2         Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

13.3         Arbitration.  Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than as set forth in Section 4), or the breach hereof, shall be settled by three arbitrators in an arbitration conducted in Commonwealth of Virginia in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrators must be business lawyers experienced with agreements of this type and have been admitted to practice for not less than 25 years.  He or she shall have continuously held an “AV” rating by Martindale for at least 10 years.  The arbitrators’ decision shall be final and non-appealable.  Each party shall be entitled to discovery as may be permitted by the arbitrators.  The arbitrators shall have the authority to enter an award, or partial award, that a party should be enjoined from certain actions or be compelled to undertake certain actions.  In such event, any competent court may enter an order enjoining and/or compelling such actions as found by the arbitrators.  The arbitrators also shall make a determination regarding which party’s legal position in any such controversy or claim is the more substantially correct (the “Prevailing Party”) and the arbitrators shall enter an award for the legal and other professional fees and costs actually incurred by the Prevailing Party in connection with such arbitration proceeding and any necessary court action.

60

13.4         Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 13.4.

13.6         Waiver.  No failure on the part of any party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.  No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

13.7         Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other agreements, document and instruments referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement between the Company and Buyer shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with Section 9.3(a).
