     2.3     Assumption of Specified Obligations . At the Closing, Acquisition Sub shall agree to assume and perform after the Closing when and as they become due the obligations and liabilities of Arrow related to the Business, including the following (the “Dagger Obligations”):

          2.3.1     Arrow’s accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue relating to the Business through the Closing Date, such amounts to be calculated in a manner consistent with the Dagger Balance Sheet for the Reported Business, except that such amounts shall be for the Business.

     Except for the Dagger Obligations, Acquisition Sub is assuming no liabilities or obligations of Arrow in connection with this transaction, including (a) any liability or obligation of Arrow to any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (b) any liability or obligation of Arrow to any director, officer, employee or other agent of Arrow (other than the Dagger Employees), (c) any liability or obligation of Arrow under any contract, agreement or arrangement relating to the Business or the conduct thereof other than the Dagger Engagements, the Dagger Completed Engagements, the Dagger Contracts and the Dagger Leases, (d) any trade or practice liabilities or obligations of Arrow, (e) any liability or obligation of Arrow to any current, former or deceased employee of Arrow or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than the Dagger Subsidiaries), other than the Dagger Employees, (f) any liability or obligation of Arrow or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Dagger Subsidiaries) under any Employee Benefit Plan, or (g) any liability of Arrow for Taxes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Arrow and its Subsidiaries (exclusive of the Dagger Subsidiaries) shall be solely responsible for payment and performance of all liabilities, obligations and amounts at any time owing by any of them before or after the Closing Date, whether direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, other than the Dagger Obligations.

9

     The parties to this Agreement intend that any Liability of Arrow that is based on, or arises out of, facts or circumstances that existed prior to the Closing Date and is not primarily related to the Business shall not be assumed by Acquisition Sub and shall not be or become a Dagger Obligation except as expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Liability of Arrow that is not primarily related to the Business shall be allocated or divided between the Business, on the one hand, and the business and operations being acquired by Crossbow and Merger Sub, on the other hand, unless expressly provided herein.

     The parties understand that Arrow will not assume the liabilities of the Dagger Subsidiaries, but that such liabilities shall be retained by the Dagger Subsidiaries.

     2.4     Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Acquisition Sub for the Dagger Assets shall be Four Hundred Fifteen Million Dollars ($415,000,000), subject to adjustment as provided below in Section 2.8. The payment of the Purchase Price shall be made in immediately available funds wired to one or more accounts designated by Arrow or by such other method as may be agreed by Arrow and Acquisition Sub.

     2.5     Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Dagger Assets (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Arnold & Porter LLP in McLean, Virginia, commencing at 9 a.m. local time on such date that is the first business day immediately following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing Date”).

     2.6     Instruments of Transfer. Arrow shall effect the transfer of the Dagger Assets and the Dagger Obligations to Acquisition Sub at the Closing by such bills of sale, assignments, assumptions and other instruments of transfer as Acquisition Sub or its counsel deem necessary or appropriate to transfer full legal and beneficial title to the Dagger Assets free and clear of all Security Interests whatsoever except Permitted Encumbrances, and to transfer full responsibility for the Dagger Obligations. As appropriate, such documents shall contain customary warranties and covenants of title and shall be in form and substance acceptable to Acquisition Sub and its counsel.

     2.7     Additional Actions. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, (a) at the reasonable request of Acquisition Sub, Arrow shall execute and deliver to Acquisition Sub such other instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such action as Acquisition Sub may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to transfer, convey and assign to Acquisition Sub and to confirm Acquisition Sub’s title to any of assets primarily utilized in connection with the performance and technical and administrative support of the Business inadvertently left in the control or possession of Arrow and all instruments, undertakings or other documents and take such other action as Acquisition Sub may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to have Arrow fully assume and be liable for any Liabilities of Arrow that are not Dagger Obligations and that were inadvertently assumed by Acquisition Sub, and (b) at the reasonable request of Arrow, Acquisition Sub shall execute and deliver to Arrow such other instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such action as Arrow may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to transfer, convey and assign to Arrow and to confirm Arrow’s title to any of the Excluded Assets inadvertently transferred to Acquisition Sub and all instruments, undertakings or other

10

documents and take such other action as Arrow may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to have Acquisition Sub fully assume and be liable for any Dagger Obligations that were inadvertently retained by Arrow.

     Prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, if either Crossbow or Acquisition Sub shall determine that an asset or liability of the Business was inappropriately included in or excluded from the definition of either the Dagger Assets or the Dagger Obligations, the party that makes such determination shall so advise the other party and Crossbow and Acquisition Sub shall in good faith endeavor to reach agreement with respect to such asset or liability.

     If a dispute arises under this Section 2.7, then within three (3) business days after a written request by either party, Federal’s President and Crossbow’s President of U.S. Operations shall promptly confer to resolve the dispute. If such persons cannot resolve such dispute, or either one of them determines that they are not making reasonable progress toward resolution of the dispute within the five (5) business day period immediately following the delivery of the written notice described above, then such dispute shall be settled by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a single arbitrator, who shall be an attorney expert in the area of mergers and acquisitions, selected by Crossbow and Acquisition Sub (or, if the parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator within five (5) business days of commencing arbitration, such an expert selected by the Association). Judgment upon the award rendered under any such arbitration may be entered in any Court having jurisdiction thereof.

     2.8     Adjustment to Purchase Price

          2.8.1     Preparation of Closing Balance Sheet. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date (but not later than 60 days thereafter), Arrow shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall deliver to Acquisition Sub a Closing Balance Sheet for the Business as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

          2.8.2     Review of Closing Balance Sheet. Acquisition Sub, upon receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, shall (a) review the Closing Balance Sheet and (b) to the extent Acquisition Sub may deem necessary, make reasonable inquiry of Arrow and its accountants, relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet. Acquisition Sub and its employees and advisors shall have full access upon prior written notice and during normal business hours to the books, papers and records of Arrow and its accountants (if any are used), relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet in connection with such inquiry and the preparation of any objections thereto (“Objections”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, Acquisition Sub unless Acquisition Sub shall have notified Arrow in writing of any Objections thereto within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet. Acquisition Sub shall make the Dagger Employees and books and records of the Business available to Arrow as necessary for Arrow to prepare the Closing Balance Sheet.

          2.8.3     Disputes. In the event of Objections, Arrow shall have 20 days to review and respond to such Objections, and Acquisition Sub and Arrow shall attempt to resolve

11

the differences underlying such Objections within 20 days following completion of Arrow’s review of such Objections. Disputes between Acquisition Sub and Arrow which cannot be resolved by them within such 20-day period shall be referred no later than such 20th day for decision to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or to a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually selected by the Acquisition Sub and Arrow (the “Auditor”) (which firm shall not be any of (a) the independent public accountants of Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub, (b) the independent public accountants used by Arrow prior to the Closing Date and (c) the independent public accountants of Crossbow), who shall act as arbitrator and determine, based solely on presentations by Acquisition Sub and Arrow and only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Balance Sheet requires adjustment. The Auditor shall deliver its written determination to Acquisition Sub and Arrow no later than the 30th day after the remaining differences underlying such Objections are referred to the Auditor, or such longer period of time as the Auditor reasonably determines is necessary. The Auditor’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The fees and disbursements of the Auditor shall be allocated equally between Acquisition Sub and Arrow. Acquisition Sub and Arrow shall make readily available to the Auditor all relevant information, books and records and any work papers relating to the Closing Balance Sheet and all other items reasonably requested by the Auditor. In no event may the Auditor’s resolution of any difference be for an amount which is outside the range of Acquisition Sub’s and Arrow’s disagreement.

     2.8.4     Final Closing Balance Sheet. The Closing Balance Sheet shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the earliest of (a) Acquisition Sub’s failure to object thereto within the period permitted under Section 2.8.2, (b) the agreement between Acquisition Sub and Arrow with respect thereto and (c) the decision by the Auditor with respect to any disputes under Section 2.8.3. The Closing Balance Sheet, as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of the parties or decision of the Auditor, when final and binding is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet.”

     2.8.5     Adjustments to the Purchase Price. As soon as practicable (but not more than five business days) after the date on which the Final Closing Balance Sheet shall have been determined in accordance with this Section 2.8, (a) Arrow shall pay to Acquisition Sub in immediately available funds the amount, if any, by which the Net Tangible Asset Value on the Final Closing Balance Sheet is less than $50,000,000 (Fifty Million Dollars), or (b) Acquisition Sub shall pay to Arrow in immediately available funds the amount, if any, by which the Net Tangible Asset Value on the Final Closing Balance Sheet is greater than $60,000,000 (Sixty Million Dollars); provided, that no payment made pursuant to this Section 2.8.5 shall exceed the amount of $10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollars). Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.8.5 shall constitute an immediate adjustment of the Purchase Price in such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the existence or possible existence of any adjustment to the Purchase Price, Objection, pendency or resolution of any dispute pursuant to this Section 2.8 or any issue pertaining to the Closing Balance Sheet shall not in any way impact, hinder, prevent or otherwise delay Crossbow’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement.

     Arrow represents and warrants to Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub as set forth in Appendix A, subject to those exceptions disclosed in writing in the disclosure schedules supplied by Arrow to the Parent on or before the date hereof, and certified by a duly authorized officer of Arrow (the “Arrow Disclosure Schedule”). For purposes of the representations and warranties of Arrow contained herein, each exception set forth in the Arrow Disclosure Schedule and each other response to this Agreement set forth in the Arrow Disclosure Schedule is identified by reference to, or has been grouped under a heading referring to, a specific individual section of this Agreement, and disclosure in any section of the Arrow Disclosure Schedule of any facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be adequate response and disclosure of such facts or circumstances with respect to all representations and warranties by Arrow calling for disclosure of such information if it is reasonably apparent on the face of the Arrow Disclosure Schedules that such disclosure is applicable; provided, however, that Arrow represents and warrants that it has made a good faith effort to include cross-references to other portions thereof where applicable. Arrow has not made and is not making any disclosures of classified information except to Parent personnel with proper security clearances. The inclusion of any information in any section of the Arrow Disclosure Schedule or other document delivered by Arrow pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever. All references in Appendix A to a Schedule not otherwise provided for in this Agreement shall be a reference to the comparable section of the Arrow Disclosure Schedule.

Article 4

     Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Arrow as set forth in Appendix B.

Article 5

     5.1     Conduct of Business of Arrow. During the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of (x) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or (y) the Closing Date, Arrow shall, and shall cause each of the Dagger Subsidiaries to, except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or to the extent that the Parent shall otherwise consent in writing, carry on its business in the usual, regular and ordinary course, in substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted, and use all commercially reasonable efforts consistent with past practices and policies to (i) preserve intact its present business organization and workforce used in the Business; and (ii) preserve its relationships with the Business’ customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, and others with which it has business dealings in the Business. In addition, without limiting the generality of Section 5.1, except as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and except as provided in Schedule 5.1, without the

13

prior written consent of the Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), during the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of (x) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or (y) the Closing Date, Arrow shall not do, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to:

     5.2     Conduct of Business of Parent. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, none of Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub shall, except to the extent that Arrow shall otherwise consent in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), take any action that would materially impair Acquisition Sub’s ability to pay the Purchase Price or otherwise to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Further, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub shall, except to the extent that Arrow shall otherwise consent in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) promptly notify Arrow of any event, occurrence, act or omission that would, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, or materially hinder or delay, the Closing.

Article 6

     6.1     Non-Solicitation and Superior Proposals

          6.1.1     Superior Offers. Arrow shall comply with the terms and conditions of Section 6.1 of the Merger Agreement and shall provide Parent copies of any notice sent by Arrow to Crossbow pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Merger Agreement.

          6.1.2     No Solicitation. Each of Crossbow and Parent agrees that prior to the one-year anniversary of the date hereof, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective officers, directors, advisors, agents, accountants, consultants, employees, investment bankers and legal counsel (collectively, “Representatives”) shall directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage, facilitate or induce any inquiry with respect to, or the making, submission or announcement of, any acquisition proposal to purchase all or substantially all of the Business or the business and operations being acquired by Crossbow and Merger Sub, as the

15

case may be; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any nonpublic information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any such acquisition proposal; (iii) engage in discussions with any Person with respect to any such acquisition proposal, except as to the existence of these provisions; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any such acquisition proposal; or (v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract agreement or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to any acquisition proposal or any transaction contemplated thereby. Crossbow or Parent, as the case may be, shall immediately terminate, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to immediately terminate, all activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third party with respect to, or any that could reasonably be expected to lead to or contemplate the possibility of, an acquisition proposal. Crossbow or Parent, as the case may be, shall promptly request that each person which has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with Crossbow or Parent, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives with respect to such Person’s consideration of a possible acquisition proposal to promptly return or destroy (which destruction Crossbow or Parent, as the case may be, shall request be certified in writing by such person) all confidential information heretofore furnished by Crossbow or Parent, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives to such person or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives.

     6.2     Transition of Employees and Consultants. Within five (5) days prior to Closing, Arrow shall provide an updated Employee List, containing the name of each employee of the Business, and each person’s level title, role, starting date, annual salary and target bonus, together with a listing of the level of security clearance for such employees. Parent, Federal, Acquisition Sub or one of their Affiliates shall offer to employ or retain as a consultant effective as of 12:00 A.M. on the date immediately following the Closing Date each Dagger Employee and each Dagger Consultant employed by (or providing consulting to) Arrow as of the Closing Date. Arrow shall cooperate with Parent to facilitate meetings (to occur at mutually agreed upon times and locations) between (a) Dagger Employees and Dagger Consultants and (b) representatives of Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub, so as to permit Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub to discuss with such Dagger Employees and Dagger Consultants employment or a consulting relationship, as the case may be, with Acquisition Sub, Federal, Parent, a Dagger Subsidiary or one of their Affiliates (the “Acquisition Group”) as well as other matters relating to planning for the post-Closing integration of the Business into the Acquisition Group. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, Arrow shall make a good faith effort to encourage the Dagger Employees and the Dagger Consultants to accept employment or a consulting relationship, as the case may be, with the Acquisition Group, and, as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date, shall terminate the employment or consulting relationship of all Dagger Employees and Dagger Consultants, as the case may be. All Dagger Employees and Dagger Consultants employed by (or providing consulting services to) a Dagger Subsidiary shall, subject to Section 6.2.2, retain their employment or consulting relationship with such Dagger Subsidiary immediately following the Closing Date.

     6.3     Expenses. Each party hereto shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with the Transaction, including fees and disbursements of consultants, brokers, finders, investment bankers and other financial advisors, counsel and accountants.

16

     6.4     Access and Information. The Dagger Companies shall afford to Parent, Federal, Acquisition Sub and to a reasonable number of their respective officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other authorized representatives full and complete access as may be reasonably requested, upon reasonable advance telephone notice, during regular business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, to the Dagger Companies’ offices, properties, books and records, and the Dagger Companies shall use reasonable efforts to cause their representatives and independent public accountants to furnish to Acquisition Sub such additional financial and operating data and other information as to their businesses, customers, vendors and properties as Acquisition Sub may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all visits to any office of any Dagger Company will be coordinated and conducted so as to not be disruptive to the operations of such Dagger Company and to preserve the confidentiality of the Transaction. In addition, Arrow will facilitate meetings between Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub and the Dagger Companies’ significant customers so as to permit Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub to discuss the announced Transaction with such customers.

     6.5     Public Disclosure. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Parent, Arrow and Crossbow each shall disseminate the press releases attached as Exhibit B. Except as otherwise required by law (including disclosures necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws), no party hereto shall make any other public disclosure of information regarding the transactions contemplated herein prior to the Closing without the consent of each of Parent, Arrow and Crossbow, each of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The parties acknowledge that Parent and Crossbow have previously executed a Confidentiality Agreement dated as of December 16, 2003 and that Parent and Arrow have previously executed a letter agreement regarding confidentiality dated January 7, 2004 (collectively, the “Confidentiality Agreements”), which Confidentiality Agreements shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms notwithstanding any termination or abandonment of this Agreement or the Merger.

     6.6     Further Assurances

          6.6.1     Generally. Subject to terms and conditions herein provided and to the fiduciary duties of the board of directors and officers or representatives of any party, each of the parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In case at any time any further action, including, without limitation, the obtaining of waivers and consents under any agreements, material contracts or leases and the execution and delivery of any licenses or sublicenses for any software, is necessary, proper or advisable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors or representatives of each party to this Agreement are hereby directed and authorized to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate all required action, except to the extent that greater efforts are required pursuant to Section 6.12.

          6.6.2     Novation of Contracts; Subcontracting; Maintenance of Corporate Existence of Arrow. Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the novation of, or change of name with respect to, each Dagger Government Contract that may

17

require novation or a change of name under its terms or under applicable laws or regulations, and further agrees to provide all documentation necessary to effect each such novation or change of name, including all instruments, certifications, requests, legal opinions, audited financial statements, and other documents required by Part 42 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation to effect a novation of any contract with the United States Government. In particular and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Arrow shall continue to communicate with responsible officers of the United States Government from time to time as may be appropriate and permissible, to request speedy action on any and all requests for consent to novation or change of name. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arrow makes no representation or warranty that any such novation of, or change of name with respect to, any Dagger Government Contract will in fact be obtained.

     With respect to each Dagger Government Contract that requires novation or a change of name, prior to such novation or change of name, Arrow will engage Acquisition Sub as subcontractor under such contract, agree to take all reasonable instruction from Acquisition Sub as Arrow’s conduct under such contract and promptly pay to Acquisition Sub the full amount of its receipts under such contract.

     Arrow shall not terminate its existence until all of the Government Contracts of the Dagger Companies have either terminated or duly transferred to Acquisition Sub.

     6.7     Tax Matters

          6.7.1     Allocation of Purchase Price. Acquisition Sub and Arrow agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of Arrow assumed by Acquisition Sub to which the Dagger Assets are subject (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the Dagger Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) as shown on Schedule 6.7.1. Acquisition Sub and Arrow shall have prepared such allocation schedule in accordance with Code section 1060 and the Treasury regulations thereunder. Parent, Acquisition Sub and Arrow will file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with such allocation schedule.

          6.7.2     Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns for Periods through Closing Date. Arrow shall include the income of the Dagger Subsidiaries (including any deferred items triggered into income by Reg. § 1.1502-13 and any excess loss account taken into income under Reg. § 1.1502-19) on Arrow’s consolidated federal income Tax Returns for all periods through the Closing Date and pay any federal income Taxes attributable to such income. For all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, Arrow shall cause the Dagger Subsidiaries to join in Arrow’s consolidated federal income tax return and, in jurisdictions requiring separate reporting from Arrow, to file separate company state and local income tax returns.

     8.11     Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

authorized representative of the non-defaulting party, and no such waiver shall be taken or held to be a waiver by such party of any other preceding or subsequent default; and (iii) no extension of time granted by any party for the performance of any obligation or act by any other party shall be deemed to be an extension of time for the performance of any other obligation or act hereunder.

Collectively, the financial statements referred to in the immediately preceding sentence are sometimes referred to herein as the “Dagger Financial Statements” and the Reported Business’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is referred to herein as the “Dagger Balance Sheet.” The Dagger Balance Sheet (including any related notes) fairly presents in all material respects the Reported Business’s financial position as of its date, and the statement of operations included in the Dagger Financial Statements (including any related notes) fairly presents in all material respects the Reported Business’s results of operations for the period therein set forth, each having been prepared and compiled in accordance with GAAP, it being understood that the Dagger Financial Statements have been prepared on a pro forma basis, reflecting the separation of the Reported Business from Arrow. “Reported Business” means the “Defense and Intelligence Group” of Arrow (excluding any business performed in Canada by a Dagger Company) together with the business of the Dagger Subsidiaries (including any federal civilian, state and local engagements of such Dagger Subsidiaries) on a consolidated basis. To the Knowledge of Arrow, there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of Arrow’s internal controls which could adversely affect Arrow’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data relating to the Business. To the Knowledge of Arrow, there is no fraud relating to the Business, whether material or not, that involves

management or other employees who have a significant role in Arrow’s internal controls.

     A5     Absence of Material Adverse Changes. Except as set forth on Schedule A5, since December 31, 2003 (the “Balance Sheet Date”), Arrow has not suffered a Dagger Material Adverse Effect, and, to the Knowledge of Arrow, there has not occurred or arisen any event, condition or state of facts of any character that would reasonably be expected to result in a Dagger Material Adverse Effect.

     A6     Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule A6, the Reported Business has no Liabilities that are not fully reflected or provided for on, or disclosed in the notes to, the balance sheets included in the Dagger Financial Statements, except (a) Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Balance Sheet Date, none of which individually or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to be material, (b) Liabilities permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, (c) Liabilities not within the Knowledge of Arrow that are not required to be disclosed by Arrow under GAAP, (d) Liabilities for future performance under contracts, and (e) Liabilities expressly disclosed on the Schedules delivered hereunder.

     A7     Compliance with Applicable Law, Charter and By-Laws. Each Dagger Company has all requisite licenses, permits and certificates from all Governmental Entities necessary to conduct the Business as currently conducted, and to own, lease and operate their respective properties used in the Business in the manner currently held and operated (collectively, “Permits”), except as set forth on Schedule A7 and except for any Permits the absence of which, either singly or in the aggregate, is immaterial and would not reasonably be expected to have a material effect or prevent or materially delay the Closing. All of such Permits are in full force and effect. Each Dagger Company is in compliance in all material respects with the terms and conditions related to such Permits. There are no proceedings in progress, pending or, to the Knowledge of Arrow, threatened, which may result in revocation, cancellation, suspension, or any materially adverse modification of any of such Permits. The Business is not being, and has not been, conducted in violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation, rule, judgment, decree, order, Permit, concession, grant or other authorization of any Governmental Entity. No Dagger Company is in default or violation of any provision of its charter documents or its by-laws where such default or violation is material.

     A8     Litigation and Proceedings. Except for any claim, action, suit or proceeding set forth on Schedule A8, (a) there is no investigation by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Business pending or, to the Knowledge of Arrow, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity notified any Dagger Company an intention to conduct the same; (b) there is no claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Arrow, threatened against or involving any Dagger Company and involving the Business, any of the Dagger Assets or any of the assets or properties of any Dagger Subsidiary, at law or in equity, or before any arbitrator or Governmental Entity; and (c) there are no judgments, decrees, injunctions or orders of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against any Dagger Company (i) affecting the Business, the Dagger Assets or the assets or properties of any Dagger Subsidiary or (ii) which create a Dagger Obligation in each case to the extent that the resolution of such dispute or claim will be binding on Acquisition Sub or a Dagger Subsidiary or give rise to a Dagger Obligation.

     A9     Tax Matters

          A9.1     Filing of Returns. Each Dagger Subsidiary has timely filed all Tax Returns that it was required to file, and Arrow has timely filed all Tax Returns with respect to the Business that it was required to file in each case taking into account all validly obtained extensions. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes owed (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) by any Dagger Subsidiary, or by Arrow with respect to the Business, have been paid. To the extent that any Dagger Subsidiary has any Liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) for Taxes due and payable by Arrow or any member of Arrow’s consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group, such Taxes have been paid. No Dagger Subsidiary is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim relating to the Business has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where any Dagger Company does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction, which claims have not been resolved. There are no Security Interests on any of the Dagger Assets or on any assets of any Dagger Subsidiary that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax, other than Permitted Encumbrances.

          A9.2     Payment of Taxes. Each Dagger Subsidiary, and with respect to the Business, Arrow, has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party with respect to the Business.

          A9.3     Assessments or Disputes. To the Knowledge of Arrow, no Tax authority proposes to assess any additional Taxes upon any Dagger Subsidiary or upon Arrow with respect to the Business, in each case for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed. Except as described in written materials delivered to Acquisition Sub, there is no dispute or claim concerning any Tax Liability of any Dagger Subsidiary, or of Arrow with respect to the Business, either (a) claimed or raised in writing by any Tax authority or (b) to the Knowledge of Arrow, otherwise claimed or raised by any Tax authority, in each case to the extent that resolution of such dispute or claim will be binding upon Acquisition Sub or a Dagger Subsidiary after the Closing. Except to the extent otherwise described in written materials delivered to Acquisition Sub, Arrow has delivered to Acquisition Sub, or made available for review by Acquisition Sub, correct and complete copies of all income Tax Returns, examination reports and statements of deficiencies that were (i) filed by, assessed against or agreed to by or with respect to any Dagger Subsidiary and (ii) expressly included within a written due diligence request made by Acquisition Sub prior to the date hereof.

          A9.4     Waiver of Statute of Limitations. No Dagger Company has waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes that relate to the Business or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency that relates to the Business, in each case to the extent that resolution of such assessment or deficiency will be binding upon Acquisition Sub or a Dagger Subsidiary after the Closing.

          A9.5     Collapsible Corporations, Golden Parachutes, Real Property Holding Corporations. No Dagger Subsidiary has filed a consent under Code section 341(f) concerning collapsible corporations. Except as set forth on Schedule A9.5, no Dagger

A-4

Subsidiary is a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or plan that has resulted or would result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of (a) any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) and (b) any amount that will not be fully deductible as a result of Section 162(m) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local, or foreign Tax law). No Dagger Subsidiary has been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Code section 897(c)(2) during the applicable period specified in Code section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii). No Dagger Subsidiary is a party to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement under which such Dagger Subsidiary will have any liability after the Closing. No Dagger Subsidiary (A) has been a member of an Affiliated Group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return (other than a group the common parent of which was Arrow) or (B) has any Liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than a member of an Affiliated Group the common parent of which was Arrow) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law). Prior to the applicable due date (including extensions), Arrow shall file a consolidated federal income tax return with the Dagger Subsidiaries, among other Persons, for the taxable year immediately preceding the current taxable year.

          A9.6     Unpaid Taxes. The unpaid Taxes of the Dagger Companies for which Acquisition Sub and/or the Dagger Subsidiaries shall be liable (a) did not, as of the date of the Dagger Balance Sheet, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) reflected in the Dagger Balance Sheet and (b) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of the Dagger Companies in filing their Tax Returns.

          A9.7     Unclaimed Property. No Dagger Company has any assets that may constitute unclaimed property under applicable law. The Dagger Companies have complied in all material respects with all applicable unclaimed property laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Dagger Companies have established and followed procedures to identify any unclaimed property and, to the extent required by applicable law, remit such unclaimed property to the applicable governmental authority. The records of the Dagger Companies are adequate to permit a governmental agency or authority or other outside auditor to confirm the foregoing representations.

          A9.8     No Changes in Accounting, Closing Agreement, Installment Sale. No Dagger Subsidiary will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date as a result of any (a) change in method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date under Code section 481(c) (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign income Tax law), other than any such change required as a result of the transactions occurring at Closing pursuant to this Agreement; (b) “closing agreement” as described in Code section 7121 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign income Tax law) executed on or prior to the Closing Date; (c) deferred intercompany gain or any excess loss account described in Treasury Regulations under Code section 1502 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign income Tax law); (d) installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date; or (e) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date.

No Dagger Subsidiary currently maintains or sponsors any employee pension benefit plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code other than any such plan that is also maintained or sponsored by Arrow and one or more of its Subsidiaries (other than the Dagger Subsidiaries) and that will not be maintained or sponsored by any Dagger Subsidiary after the Closing Date.

          A10.2     Title IV of ERISA. No Dagger Company and none of their respective ERISA Affiliates has incurred any material liability under Title IV of ERISA which will not have been satisfied in full prior to the Closing; there is no “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) with respect to any Pension Plan maintained by any Dagger Company or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates and subject to Code section 412 or ERISA Section 302; with respect to any Pension Plan maintained by any Dagger Company or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates and subject to Title IV of ERISA, there has been (a) no “reportable event,” within the meaning of ERISA Section 4043, or the regulations thereunder, and (b) no event or condition which presents a material risk of plan termination or any other event that may cause any Dagger Company or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates to incur liability or have a lien imposed on its assets under Title IV of ERISA; and no Pension Plan maintained by any Dagger Company or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates and subject to Title IV of ERISA will have any “unfunded benefit liabilities” within the meaning of ERISA Section 4001(a)(18), as of the Closing Date, and, without any additional contributions being made to such Plan, the assets of such Plan are sufficient to satisfy all obligations of the Plan if the Plan were to terminate.

          A10.3     Multiemployer Plans. There has been no withdrawal by any Dagger Company or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates from any “multiemployer plan” (as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) within the six year period prior to the Closing Date as to which any liability arising therefrom has not been satisfied in full; and no Dagger Employees are covered by a multiemployer plan with respect to such employee’s employment in the Business.

No Dagger Company has been or is now a party to any administrative or civil litigation involving alleged false statements, false claims or other misconduct relating to any Dagger Government Contract or quotations, bids and proposals for Government Contracts, and to the Knowledge of Arrow, there is no basis for any such proceeding.

Except as described in Schedule A22.4, neither the United States Government nor any prime contractor or higher-tier subcontractor under an outstanding Government Contract has questioned or disallowed any material costs claimed by any Dagger Company under any Dagger Government Contract, and to the Knowledge of Arrow, there is no fact or occurrence that could be a basis for disallowing any such costs.

          A22.5     Sanctions.
