RECITALS

A. BGB owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company.

B. Parent desires to purchase and acquire from BGB, and BGB desires to sell and transfer to Parent, all of the shares of Company Common Stock (as defined in Section 2.3(a)) which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (as defined in Section 1.2) for the consideration, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the related documents to be executed and delivered in connection herewith (the “Acquisition”).

C. The Company, BGB and Parent desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Acquisition.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, representations and warranties set forth herein, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE ACQUISITION

1.1 The Acquisition. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and upon the representations and warranties made herein by each of the parties to the other, on the Closing, Parent shall purchase and acquire from BGB, and BGB shall sell and transfer to Parent, all shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing for and in exchange of the Acquisition Consideration. Following the Closing, Parent shall own all of the issued and outstanding equity and any other ownership interests of the Company.

1.2 Closing. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”), which is expected to take place on or about February 13, 2004, will take place upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, at the offices of Parent, 30 Porter Road, Littleton, Massachusetts, unless another place or time is agreed to by Parent and BGB.

1.3 [Intentionally Omitted]

1.4 [Intentionally Omitted]

1.5 Directors and Officers of Company After Closing. Immediately after the Closing, the sole director of the Company shall be Bernard C. Bailey, who shall hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company. Immediately after the Closing, the officers of the Company shall be Bernard C. Bailey, President, Bill Aulet, Treasurer, and Elliot J. Mark, Secretary, each to hold office in accordance with the bylaws of the Company.

1.6 Acquisition Consideration. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and upon the representations, warranties covenants and agreements of the Company and BGB contained herein, and in exchange for all of the shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, at the Closing, Parent shall pay to BGB, and BGB shall receive from Parent, total consideration equal to (i) the Aggregate Share Amount; and (ii) the Aggregate Cash Amount (collectively, the “Acquisition Consideration”).

1.7 Adjustments to Aggregate Share Amount and Aggregate Cash Amount.

(a) Generally. The Aggregate Share Amount shall be equitably adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock combination, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock), reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing. Adjustments, if any, to the Aggregate Cash Amount shall be made as set forth in Section 1.7(b).

Upon Parent’s receipt of any payment from DoD or any affiliated agency of DoD in connection with the Qualifying Order (each such payment, a “CAC Payment”), Parent shall pay to BGB the amount equal to each CAC Payment until the aggregate amount paid to BGB equals the CAC Amount. Payment(s) from Parent to BGB pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) days, after the Company receives the applicable CAC Payment, in each case by wire transfer to a bank account designated by BGB.

1.12 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any such further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest Parent or the Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of the Company are fully authorized to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

ARTICLE 4

CONDUCT PRIOR TO THE CLOSING

4.1 Conduct of Business of the Company. During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of (x) the termination of this Agreement and (y) the Closing, the Company agrees (unless the Company is required to take such action pursuant to this Agreement or Parent shall give its prior consent in writing), to carry on its business substantially in the usual, regular and ordinary course substantially consistent with past practice, to pay its Liabilities and Taxes consistent with the Company’s past practices, to pay or perform other obligations when due consistent with the Company’s past practices (other than Liabilities, Taxes and other obligations, if any, contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established), and, to the extent consistent with such business, to use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve substantially intact its present business organization, keep available the services of its present officers and key employees and preserve its relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors, licensors, licensees, independent contractors and other Persons having business dealings with it, all with the express purpose and intent of preserving substantially unimpaired its goodwill and ongoing businesses at and after the Closing. Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, take or agree in writing or otherwise to take, any action that would result in the occurrence of any of the changes described in Section 2.9 or any other action that would make any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement untrue or incorrect when made in any material respect. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, take or agree in writing or otherwise to take, any action that would prevent the Company from performing or cause the Company not to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder or knowingly cause any condition to Parent’s closing obligations in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 not to be satisfied.

4.2 No Solicitation. Until the earlier of the Closing or the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will take, nor will the Company permit any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ representatives to take any of the following actions with any Person other than Parent and its designees: (a) solicit, encourage, initiate, entertain, accept receipt of, or review any proposals or offers from, or participate in or conduct discussions with or engage in negotiations with, any Person relating to any offer or proposal, oral, written or otherwise, formal or informal, with

respect to any possible Business Combination with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether such Subsidiaries are in existence on the date hereof or are hereafter organized), (a “Competing Proposed Transaction”), (b) provide information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether such Subsidiaries are in existence on the date hereof or are hereafter organized) to any Person, other than Parent, relating to (or which the Company believes would be used for the purpose of formulating an offer or proposal with respect to), or otherwise assist, cooperate with, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any such Person with regard to, any possible Business Combination with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (whether such Subsidiary is in existence on the date hereof or are hereafter organized), (c) agree to, enter into a Contract with any Person, other than Parent, providing for, or approve a Business Combination with the Company or any Subsidiary (whether such Subsidiary is in existence on the date hereof or are hereafter organized) or (d) authorize or permit any of the Company’s representatives to take any such action. The Company will notify Parent immediately after receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives) of any proposal for or inquiry respecting any Competing Proposed Transaction, or any request for nonpublic information in connection with such proposal or inquiry or for access to the Assets and Properties, Books and Records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person or entity that informs or has informed the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that it is considering making or has made such a proposal or inquiry. Such notice to Parent shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the Person making such proposal or inquiry and the terms and conditions of such proposal or inquiry. The Company and its Subsidiaries (and their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives) immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Proposed Transaction. The Company agrees not to release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. The Company agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly inform its officers, directors, key employees and representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 4.2. Nothing in this Section 4.2 shall permit the Company to terminate this Agreement. Each of the Company and Parent acknowledge that this Section 4.2 was a significant inducement for Parent to enter into this Agreement and the absence of such provision would have resulted in either (i) a material reduction in the consideration to be paid to BGB in the Acquisition or (ii) a failure to induce Parent to enter into this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

5.1 Private Placement. Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.6 in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act on terms and conditions that are reasonably satisfactory to both Parent and Company. BGB acknowledges that (i) the shares of Parent Common Stock so issued in the private placement pursuant to Section 1.6 will not be registered under the Securities Act, except as provided under the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), and will constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of

the Securities Act; and (ii) the certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock shall bear the following restrictive legend:

Without limiting the foregoing, all information furnished to Parent and its officers, employees, accountants and counsel by and on behalf of the Company and its officers, employees, accountants and counsel, and all information furnished to the Company and its officers, employees, accountants and counsel by and on behalf of Parent and its officers, employees, accountants and counsel, shall be covered by the Confidentiality Agreements, and Parent and the Company shall be fully liable and responsible under the Confidentiality Agreements for any breach of the terms and conditions thereof by their respective Subsidiaries, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives.

BGB agrees and acknowledges that he shall, and shall cause his Affiliates to, assign or transfer to the Company or its Subsidiaries any Intellectual Property, Contracts and other Assets and Properties that are used in the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries and are owned or leased by BGB or its Affiliates.

5.10 Indemnification. Parent and the Company agree that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the employees, agents, directors or officers of the Company (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) as provided in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or indemnification agreements as in effect on the date of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a period of one year from and after the Closing; provided, however, that, in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made within such one-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until the disposition of any

(a) Section 338(h)(10) Election. At Parent’s option, the Company and BGB shall join with Parent in making timely, effective and irrevocable elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code and any corresponding elections under state, local or foreign tax law that have substantially the same effect as the election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code (collectively, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the Company. Parent, the Company and BGB agree to cooperate in all respects for the purposes of effectuating a timely and effective Section 338(h)(10) Election including, without limitation, the execution and filing of any forms or Tax Returns.

(b) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) Parent, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and BGB shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns for all periods that begin before the Closing and any audit, litigation or other Action or Proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other Action or Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries and BGB agree (A) to retain all Books and Records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or BGB, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such Books and Records and, if the other party so requests, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or BGB, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such Books and Records.

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

(c) Tax Period Ending on or before Closing. BGB shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all income Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing that are filed after the Closing. BGB shall provide Parent with a copy of any such income Tax Return described in the preceding sentence no later than ten (10) days before such Tax Return is required to be filed and shall permit Parent to review and comment on each such income Tax Return prior to filing. To the extent permitted by applicable law, BGB shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items for such period on his income Tax Return in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1s prepared by Company for such periods.

(d) Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement, shall be paid by the party legally responsible therefor when due, and such party

will, at their or its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, each of Parent and the Company will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(e) Allocation of Acquisition Consideration. Parent and BGB shall cooperate as provided herein in determining the allocation of the Acquisition Consideration and the liabilities of the Company among the assets of the Company.

BGB shall be deemed to have accepted such determination unless BGB notifies Parent in writing of BGB’s proposed allocation within thirty (30) days after receipt of Parent’s proposed allocation. If BGB provides such notice to Parent, the parties shall proceed in good faith to determine mutually the matters in dispute. If they are unable to do so within thirty (30) days, the matter shall be referred to an appraisal firm chosen by and mutually acceptable to both Parent and BGB (the “Appraiser”). The decision of the Appraiser shall be binding on all parties. The Appraiser’s fees shall be shared equally by Parent, on one hand, and BGB, on the other hand. Neither Parent nor BGB shall take any position for tax purposes that is inconsistent with the final allocation determined hereunder unless such position would be inconsistent with a final non-appealable judgment which has been rendered in any judicial processing governing such position.

Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2, 2.3(a), 2.11, 2.14, 2.19, 2A.1 and 3.2 (which shall survive the Closing and continue until the applicable statute of limitations has expired), all of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue until the first anniversary of the Closing (the “Expiration Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, each provision of Article 1 and all corresponding Schedules shall survive until the satisfaction of all obligations described therein, and each provision of Article 9 and Article 10 shall survive so long as it is relevant to any other surviving provision. No Action or Proceeding may be instituted to enforce, or seek damages or other remedies with respect to the breach of any representation or warranty after the expiration of the period of survival for such representation or warranty as described above.

7.2 Indemnification by BGB.

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

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

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

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

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

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except with respect to claims based on fraud committed by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, or BGB, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses arising out of or resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 7.2(a) that may be recovered from BGB shall not exceed $4,000,000.00 (the “Maximum Indemnity”); provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 7.2(b) with respect to the Maximum Indemnity shall not be operative with respect to Losses (i) arising from any inaccuracy in or breach (or any claim by any third party alleging or constituting an inaccuracy or breach) of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Section 2.2 or Section 2.3(a), or (ii) described in clause (iv) of Section 7.2(a).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, BGB shall not be liable to the Parent Indemnified Parties in respect of the first $250,000 of aggregate Losses resulting from indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) or (ii) above, it being the parties intention that this amount be a “basket”, provided that the foregoing “basket” shall not apply to indemnification claims based on or arising under Sections 2.3, 2.11, 2.19 or 2A.1, 5.4 or 5.16(d) or any claims alleging fraud or willful breach on the part of the Company or BGB. In addition, no indemnification shall be required to be made with respect to claims for Losses as to which BGB has not received written notice within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.1. Other than in respect of indemnification claims under the Agreement sections listed above in this clause (c) or claims alleging fraud on the part of the Company or BGB, Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to submit a claim under all applicable insurance policies with respect to any indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) or (ii) above. To the extent that Parent actually receives any insurance proceeds with respect to any such claim, Parent shall pay BGB the amount of such proceeds up to the amount actually paid by BGB to Parent in respect of the Loss giving rise to such insurance claim less (1) all direct and indirect costs of Parent expended in obtaining such insurance proceeds and (2) any increase in insurance premium resulting from the payment of any such insurance claim.

(d) Absent fraud or willful breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, the indemnification provided by this Article 7 shall constitute the exclusive remedy of all Parent Indemnified Parties with respect to (i) the matters for which such indemnification is provided and (ii) any other matters arising out of, relating to or connected with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated here, regardless of whether any claims or causes of action with respect to such matters are brought in contract, tort or any other legal theory whatsoever.

7.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The obligations and Liabilities of BGB under this Article 7 with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article 7 (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.3. If any Parent Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Parent Indemnified Party shall give BGB notice of such Third Party Claim within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Parent Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release BGB from any of his respective obligations under this Article 7 except to the extent that BGB is materially prejudiced by such failure. The notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Parent Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnification claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom.

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

7.4 Right of Offset. In the event any amounts are payable by BGB pursuant to this Article 7, subject to the Maximum Indemnity, Parent may offset such amounts from the principal and interest due under the Note. No limitation on such right of offset shall otherwise affect any Parent Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder or otherwise. The remedy of offset shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive relief or other rights or remedies to which any Parent Indemnified Party is or may be entitled, at law or in equity. The exercise of any such right of offset by Parent in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

9.5 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 5.10, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights, and this Agreement does not confer any such rights, upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Section 5.10 or Article 7; provided, that this Section 9.5 shall not be construed to prohibit an action for consideration which is unpaid at a time when Parent is then obligated to pay such amounts pursuant to Article 1.

This Agreement, any Ancillary Agreements and any other closing documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to contracts entered into by Delaware residents and performed entirely in Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules regarding conflicts of laws, other than such principles directing application of the laws of Delaware. Each party hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined by either a state court or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the Commonwealth of Virginia and each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counter claim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 9.9, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Without limitation of the foregoing, no party shall have the right to request or demand that any legal action or proceeding brought by another party in Massachusetts be transferred to Virginia or vice versa.

9.11 Construction. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties and individuals, all of whom were represented by

counsel, and each of whom had an opportunity to participate in and did participate in, the drafting of each provision hereof. Accordingly, ambiguities in this Agreement, if any, shall not be construed strictly or in favor of or against any party hereto but rather shall be given a fair and reasonable construction without regard to the rule of contra proferentem.

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

9.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Notwithstanding Section 9.9, it is agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
