(c) If the New Subsidiary shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, the New Subsidiary shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to Lender, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Lender may from time to time specify. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by the New Subsidiary are uncertificated and are issued to the New Subsidiary or its nominee directly by the 5 issuer thereof, the New Subsidiary shall immediately notify Lender thereof and, at Lender's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, either (1) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from Lender as to such securities, without further consent of the New Subsidiary or such nominee, or (2) arrange for Lender to become the registered owner of the securities.

Lender agrees with the New Subsidiary that Lender will arrange, pursuant to procedures satisfactory to Lender and so long as such procedures will not result in Lender's loss of control, for the New Subsidiary to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under UCC ss.9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or ss.16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to make without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by the New Subsidiary with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record. (f) If the New Subsidiary is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of the New Subsidiary, the New Subsidiary shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at the request and option of Lender, the New Subsidiary shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, either (1) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Lender of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (2) arrange for Lender to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with Lender agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter to credit are to be applied to the payment of the Obligations.

Insurance. The New Subsidiary agrees as follows: --------- (a) The New Subsidiary shall, at its own expense, maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with such insurers, as shall be satisfactory to Lender from time to time. Each policy for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of Lender and the New Subsidiary as their respective interests may appear, and each policy for property damage insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid directly to Lender. Each such policy shall in addition (1) name the New Subsidiary and Lender as insured parties thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon Lender) as their interests may appear, (2) contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or warranty by the New Subsidiary, (3) provide that there shall be no recourse against Lender for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto, and (4) provide that at least ten days' prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to Lender by the insurer. The New Subsidiary shall, if so requested by Lender, deliver to Lender original or duplicate policies of such insurance, together with such endorsements as may be required by Lender, and, as often as Lender may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Further, the New Subsidiary shall, at the request of Lender, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 6 and cause the insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment. (b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by the New Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 9 may be paid directly to the person who shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to Collateral when Section 9(c) is not applicable, the New Subsidiary shall make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such Collateral, and any proceeds of insurance maintained by the New Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 9 shall be paid to the New Subsidiary as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements. (c) Upon (1) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, or (2) the actual or constructive total loss (in excess of $50,000 per occurrence) of any Collateral, all insurance payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to and applied by Lender as specified in Section 15(b). SECTION 10. As to Accounts Receivable and General Intangibles. ------------------------------------------------- The New Subsidiary agrees as follows: (a) The New Subsidiary shall keep its chief place of business and chief executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the Accounts Receivable and the General Intangibles at 2801 Clarendon Boulevard, Suite 100, Arlington, Virginia 22201 or, upon 45 days' prior written notice to Lender, at any other location in a jurisdiction where all 9 actions required by Section 6, shall have been taken with respect to the Accounts Receivable. The New Subsidiary will hold and preserve such records and will permit representatives of Lender at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records. (b) The New Subsidiary shall immediately notify Lender of (1) any dispute in excess of $1,000,000 with a Customer, and (2) the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or suspension of business of any such Customer of which the New Subsidiary has knowledge. The New Subsidiary shall not compromise or discount any Account Receivable without the prior written consent of Lender except for (i) ordinary trade discounts or allowances for prompt payment, and (ii) prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, such compromises or discounts that, after giving effect thereto, will not cause 85% of the Borrowing Base to be less than the unpaid principal balance of Funded Debt then outstanding. (c) If required by Lender, upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, the New Subsidiary shall establish a lockbox for the account of the New Subsidiary with Lender and shall direct all Customers to make payments on Accounts Receivable to such lockbox by printing such direction on all invoices given to Customers. The New Subsidiary also shall remit to such lockbox all payments on Accounts Receivable received by the New Subsidiary, all such payments to be received in trust for the benefit of Lender hereunder, and shall be segregated from other funds of the New Subsidiary. Such payments shall be remitted or delivered to such lockbox in their original form on the day of receipt. All notes, checks and other instruments so received by the New Subsidiary shall be duly endorsed to the order of Lender. The payments remitted to the lockbox shall be credited to a cash collateral account maintained by Lender in the name of the New Subsidiary over which Lender shall have the exclusive power of withdrawal. After final collection, funds credited to the cash collateral account shall be retained in the cash collateral account and be held as security for the Obligations, and funds in the cash collateral account may be applied to the Obligations by Lender from time to time, whether or not such Obligations are then due. (d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10(c) or this Section 10(d), the New Subsidiary shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to the New Subsidiary under the Accounts Receivable. In connection with such collections, the New Subsidiary may take (and, at Lender's direction, shall take) such action as the New Subsidiary or Lender may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Accounts Receivable; provided, however, that Lender shall have the right, upon the -------- ------- occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon written notice to the New Subsidiary of its intention to do so, to notify Customers of the assignment of the applicable Accounts Receivable to Lender and, at the expense of the New Subsidiary, to enforce collection of any such Accounts Receivable, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as the New Subsidiary might have done. After receipt by the 10 New Subsidiary of the notice from Lender referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, the New Subsidiary shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account Receivable, release any Customer wholly or partly with respect thereto, or allow any credit or discount thereon. (e) Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, to facilitate direct collection, to take over the New Subsidiary's post office boxes or make other arrangements, with which the New Subsidiary shall cooperate, to receive the New Subsidiary's mail. (f) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the New Subsidiary shall execute all other agreements, instruments and documents and shall perform all further acts that Lender may require with respect to Accounts Receivable owing by the Government to ensure compliance with the Assignment of Claims Act. SECTION 11. Defense of Collateral. The New Subsidiary, at its expense, --------------------- shall defend the Collateral against any claims or demands adverse to the Security Party's security interest granted hereunder and shall promptly pay, when due, all taxes or assessments levied against such the New Subsidiary on the Collateral. SECTION 12. Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The New Subsidiary --------------------------------- hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as the New Subsidiary's attorney-in-fact (such power being coupled with an interest), with full authority in the place and stead of the New Subsidiary and in the name of the New Subsidiary or otherwise, from time to time in Lender's discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of the New Subsidiary under Section 10), including, without limitation: (a) To obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to Lender pursuant to Section 9; (b) To ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Collateral; (c) To receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection therewith; and (d) To file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral, or otherwise to enforce the rights of the New Subsidiary or Lender with respect to any of the Collateral. 11 SECTION 13. Lender May Perform. If any Borrower fails to perform any ------------------ covenant or agreement contained herein, Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or agreement, and the expenses of Lender incurred in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the highest per annum interest rate in effect under the Loan Agreement plus 3.0%, shall be payable by such Borrower to Lender on demand and shall constitute Obligations. SECTION 14. Lender's Duties. The powers conferred on Lender hereunder --------------- are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property. SECTION 15. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and -------- be continuing: (a) Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a Lender on default under the UCC (to the extent that the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (1) require the New Subsidiary to, and the New Subsidiary hereby agrees that it shall, at its expense and upon request of Lender, forthwith assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and (2) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof, whether in its then-condition or after further preparation or processing, either at public or private sale or at any broker's board, in lots or in bulk, at any time or place, in one or more parcels, at any of Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable. The New Subsidiary agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to the New Subsidiary of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. At any such sale Lender may be the purchaser, subject to the applicable provisions of the UCC. (b) Any cash held by Lender as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral for, and then or at any time thereafter be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to Lender pursuant to Section 17) in whole or in part by Lender against all or any part of the Obligations in such order 12 as Lender shall elect. Any deficiency shall be paid to Lender by the New Subsidiary forthwith upon demand, and any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by Lender and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to the New Subsidiary or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. (c) The New Subsidiary recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, Lender may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The New Subsidiary acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Lender than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale per se shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner and that Lender shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the respective issuer thereof to register it for public sale.
