(c) In the event that any required consent is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to (i) provide to the Purchaser the benefits of the applicable Contract to the extent relating to the Division, (ii) cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Purchaser and (iii) enforce, at the request of the Purchaser and for the account of the Purchaser, any rights of the Seller arising from any such Contract (including the right to elect to terminate such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of the Purchaser), and the Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts to perform the obligations arising under all Contracts referred to in Section 7.2(b) for the benefit of the Seller and the other party or parties thereto in accordance with any arrangement of the type described in clause (ii) of this Section 7.2(c), except for any obligation under such Contract that constitutes an Excluded Liability. 7.3 LITIGATION SUPPORT. (a) In the event and for so long as any party is actively contesting or defending against any charge, complaint, action, audit, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, claim or demand in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Division, the other party will cooperate with the contesting or defending party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as may be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, at the sole cost and expense of the 26 contesting or defending party (unless the contesting or defending party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 10). (b) In addition to providing access to books, records, files and other written materials that relate to the Division in connection with litigation as described in Section 7.3(a), the Seller hereby agrees to provide the Purchaser with reasonable access to its books and records relating to indirect corporate general and administrative expenses invoiced or allocated to the Division prior to the Closing Date. Access to the foregoing books and records will be provided only to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the Purchaser to contest or defend governmental audits or investigations, to complete required government reports or contract closures relating to periods prior to the Closing Date or as required by Law or legal process. (c) The Purchaser will maintain all original books, records, files, documents, papers and agreements pertaining to the operations of the Division as conducted prior to the Closing Date that are included in the Purchased Records for at least three (3) years following the Closing Date or such longer period as may be required by Law. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agrees that before destroying or discarding any materials required to be retained pursuant to this Section 7.3(c), it will notify the other party in writing (which notice will include a description of the materials to be destroyed or discarded) and such other party may, at its expense, remove or make copies of such materials within 90 days following the date of such written notice. In the event the other party has not removed such materials within such 90-day period, the party desiring to destroy or discard such materials may proceed with such action without any liability to the other party. (d) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that all attorney-client, work product and other legal privileges that may exist with respect to any of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities (including any privileged communications involving, or work product documents produced by, the Seller's internal legal staff) are included in the Purchased Assets being acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and, from and after the Closing Date, will be the sole and exclusive right and privilege of the Purchaser. The Seller accordingly acknowledges and agrees that it and its Affiliates will have no right or power after the Closing Date to assert or waive any such privilege. The Seller agrees that it will, and will cause its Affiliates to, take any actions reasonably requested by the Purchaser, at the sole cost and expense of the Purchaser unless the Purchaser is entitled to indemnification therefor under the provisions of Section 10, in order to permit the Purchaser to preserve and assert any such privileges. 7.4 AGREEMENTS REGARDING TAX MATTERS. (a) The Seller and the Purchaser will each provide the other party with such assistance as may reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, audit or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to liability for Taxes of or pertaining to the Division, will each retain and provide to the other party all records and other information of or 27 pertaining to the Division that may be relevant to any such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination and will each provide the other party with any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other party for any period. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Purchaser and the Seller will retain, until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation (including any extensions thereof) copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules and other records relating to Tax periods or portions thereof of or pertaining to the Division ending on or prior to the Closing Date. (b) The Seller and the Purchaser agree that the Purchaser has purchased substantially all of the property used in the Division and that in connection therewith the Purchaser will employ individuals who immediately before the Closing Date were employed in such trade or business by the Seller. Accordingly, pursuant to Rev. Proc. 96-60, 1996-2 C.B. 399, provided that the Seller timely makes available to the Purchaser all necessary payroll records for the calendar year that includes the Closing Date, the Purchaser will furnish a Form W-2 to each employee employed by the Purchaser who had been employed by the Seller, disclosing all wages and other compensation paid for such calendar year, and Taxes withheld therefrom, and the Seller will be relieved of the responsibility to do so. (c) Seller and Purchaser agree that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement constitutes a sale of a trade or business within the meaning of Code Section 41(f)(3). Seller agrees to provide Purchaser upon request with the information necessary to permit Purchaser to timely apply the provisions of Code Section 41(f)(3). (d) Subject to Section 12.2, the Seller will be liable for and pay to the Purchaser, and pursuant to Section 10 will indemnify the Purchaser against, all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Division, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, in each case attributable to taxable years or periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. The Purchaser will be liable for and shall pay all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Division, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities that are attributable to taxable years or periods beginning after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning on and after the Closing Date; provided, that the Purchaser will not be liable for any Taxes for which the Seller is liable under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 7.4, any Straddle Period will be treated on a "closing of the books" basis as two partial periods, one ending on the day prior to the Closing Date and the other beginning on the Closing Date, except that Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis will be allocated on a daily basis. The Purchaser will timely prepare and file, or cause to be timely prepared and filed, when due, all Tax Returns that are required with respect to the Division for all Straddle Periods. 28 (e) The Purchaser agrees to timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns with respect to, such Taxes. (f) The Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, will reimburse any Tax paid by one party, all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the other party in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.4. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any said Tax, the party paying such Tax will give notice to the other party of the Tax payable and the portion which is the liability of each party, although failure to do so will not relieve the other party from its liability hereunder. In the event any taxing authority mistakenly delivers to or otherwise credits Purchaser with a refund of any Tax relating to Taxes paid or arising in periods prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser will promptly negotiate such refund to Seller or pay an amount to Seller equal to such credit, as the case may be. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 7.4 will be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time. 7.5 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. For a period of five years after the Closing Date, the Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives will treat and hold as such, and will not use for the benefit of themselves or others, except pursuant to a Value Added Reseller Agreement or other contract between the parties, any Confidential Information. In the event the Seller or any of its Affiliates is requested or required (by oral request or written request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, then the Seller will notify the Purchaser promptly in writing of the request or requirement so that the Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with this Section 7.5. If, in the absence of a protective order or receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Seller or any of its Affiliates is, on the advice of outside counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any Governmental Entity or else stand liable for contempt, then the Seller or its Affiliate may disclose such Confidential Information to such Governmental Entity, provided that the Seller or such Affiliate will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain at the request of the Purchaser an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information. 7.6 COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. Except as contemplated by the Reseller Agreement and the Development Agreement, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates will (whether as a principal, agent, independent contractor, partner or otherwise), directly or indirectly, for a period of two years from the Closing Date, own, manage, operate or control any business that the Division conducts as of the Closing Date or, that as of the Closing Date, is actively contemplated to be conducted by the Division. The reselling of competitive product by the Seller will be deemed not to violate the foregoing prohibition. Except as contemplated by the Reseller Agreement, neither the Seller or any of its Affiliates will (whether as a principal, agent, independent contractor, partner or otherwise), directly or indirectly, for a period of one year after 29 the Closing Date, participate or otherwise engage in (the foregoing being deemed to include the reselling of competitive product) any business conducted by the Division as of the Closing Date, or that as of the Closing Date, is actively contemplated to be conducted by the Division. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 7.6 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision and this Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. 7.7 SOLICITATION OF COMPANY EMPLOYEES. For a period of one year following the Closing Date, neither the Purchaser nor the Seller will, or will cause or permit any of its Affiliates to, solicit the employment of or hire any employee of the other party. 7.8 POST-CLOSING RECEIPTS. In the event that either party after the Closing Date receives any funds properly belonging to the other party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the receiving party will promptly so advise such other party, will segregate and hold such funds in trust for the benefit of such other party and will promptly deliver such funds, together with any interest earned thereon, to an account or accounts designated in writing by such other party. 7.9 POST-CLOSING ACCOUNTING ASSISTANCE. The Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Seller's Accounting Firm to provide to the Purchaser and the Purchaser's Accounting Firm, in a timely manner, such information regarding the Division and such other assistance and access to documents as the Purchaser or the Purchaser's Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to enable the Purchaser to make such disclosures as may be required by, and to otherwise comply with, applicable securities laws, including (without limitation) the delivery to the Purchaser not later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date of such audited financial statements and other information relating to the Division as the Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the Purchaser's filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K (or an amendment thereof) relating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 7.10 MAINTENANCE AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. After the Closing Date, the Purchaser will provide at no charge to the Seller reasonably prompt and at all times technically proficient maintenance services and technical assistance to the Seller's IWS end-users in each case in accordance with the maintenance obligations under or related to each customer Contract set forth on Schedule 4.7 and the product warranties being assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3(b) on the Closing Date. The Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts to provide continuity and consistency of maintenance personnel to end-users in the provision of such services. 7.11 ACCESS TO DEMONSTRATION FACILITY. For a period of 180 days following the Closing, and subject to any scheduling conflicts of the Seller, the Seller will make available to the Purchaser on 48 hours notice, the Seller's demonstration room located at its Rosslyn, 30 Virginia facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser's use of such demonstration room will be limited to twenty hours every 30 days. The use of the demonstration room by the Purchaser hereunder, will be at no expense to the Purchaser. In addition, each and every representative of the Purchaser receiving access to the demonstration room must be a citizen of the United States possessing a valid social security number. SECTION 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. 8.1 EMPLOYEE MATTERS. (a) RECOGNITION OF SERVICE. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, on and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall recognize service with the Seller before the Closing Date of each Division Employee accepting the Purchaser's offer of employment pursuant to Section 6.13 for purposes of eligibility, vesting and vacation or severance plan accrual under the Purchaser's Employee Benefit Plans, as disclosed to the Purchaser by the Seller and as if such service had been rendered to Purchaser. (b) NO ACCRUAL OF BENEFITS UNDER SELLER PLANS. Division Employees shall not accrue benefits under any employee benefit policies, plans, arrangements, programs, practices or agreements of Seller including any Employee Benefit Plan after the Closing Date. Seller shall remain responsible for any and all liabilities and claims incurred by Division Employees under its Employee Benefit Plans. (d) NO DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS. Nothing in this Agreement shall cause duplicate benefits to be paid or provided to or with respect to a Division Employee under any employee benefit policies, plans, arrangements, programs, practices or agreements including any Employee Benefit Plans. 8.2 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT MATTERS.

The parties agree as follows with respect to the Seller Investment Plan: (i) except as specifically provided herein, the Seller will retain all liability and responsibility for the disposition of interests under the Seller Investment Plan with respect to those Division Employees (or their beneficiaries) who, as of the Closing Date, are participants in the Seller Investment Plan. The Seller will distribute the Seller Investment Plan account balances of the affected Division Employees pursuant to the rules of Code Sections 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(II) and 401(k)(10)(A)(ii) to the extent such rules are deemed to apply; (ii) the Seller will cause the accounts of all of the Seller Salaried Participants in the Seller Investment Plan to be fully vested as of the Closing Date; and 31 (b) WELFARE PLANS.

(ii) PURCHASER HEALTH AND WELFARE PLANS. Purchaser will make reasonable efforts to provide comparable health and welfare benefits to which Division Employees were entitled under the corresponding Seller Welfare Plan as of the Closing Date (collectively the "PURCHASER WELFARE PLANS"). In the event that Purchaser is unable to provide such comparable benefits, Division Employees will be eligible to participate in the Purchaser Health and Welfare Plans that Purchaser offers to its employees as of the Closing Date. (iii) ELIGIBILITY AND COVERAGE. The Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that under Purchaser Welfare Plans providing medical coverage, any restrictions on coverage for pre-existing conditions or requirements for evidence of insurability under each Purchaser Welfare Plan shall be waived for Division Employees (except to the extent applicable under the comparable Seller Welfare Plan) and that, for the plan year or such plan which includes the Closing Date, Division Employees shall receive credit for co-payments and payments under a deductible limit made by them and for out-of-pocket maximums applicable to them during said plan year but prior to the Closing Date to the extent such amounts would have qualified for application as co-payments or against such limits and maximum had they been incurred while participating under the Purchaser Welfare Plan. The benefits provided to Division Employees under each Purchaser Welfare Plan shall not be deemed to be continuations of or successors to any Seller Welfare Plan. (iv) FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS. As of the Closing Date, Seller will cause the portion of each Division Employee's flexible spending account, if any, to be segregated into a separate component and transferred to a flexible spending account that Purchaser will cause to be maintained for the duration of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs. 8.3 LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS. (a) Nothing in this Agreement will limit or restrict in any way the right of the Seller or the Purchaser to modify, amend, terminate or establish employee benefit plans or arrangements in whole or in part at any time after the Closing Date. This Agreement will not, in any way or at any time, create any third party beneficiary rights for or on behalf of any Person. 32 (b) Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to require the Purchaser to provide any benefit to any current or former employee of the Seller or any of its Affiliates other than the benefits specifically described herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser will have no obligation to provide any pension or welfare benefit to any current retiree of the Seller or any of its Affiliates. 8.4 COOPERATION BETWEEN PARTIES.

Each party will reimburse the other for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of such services as determined by mutual agreement between the parties. 8.5 SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. In the event Purchaser or any of its successor and assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision will be made so that the successors or assigns of Purchaser honor the obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Section 8.

The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only by a written agreement executed and delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser.
