Summary
This agreement is between SRA International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Assignors) and SunTrust Bank (the Assignee). It grants SunTrust Bank a security interest in the Assignors’ intellectual property—including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and related rights—as collateral for obligations under a loan agreement. The security interest becomes effective only if a specified event occurs under the loan agreement. The agreement outlines the rights and property covered, ensuring SunTrust Bank can claim these assets if the Assignors default on their loan obligations.

This Assignment secures the payment of all obligations of each Assignor now or hereafter existing under the Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Loans, the Notes, and all obligations, indebtedness and liabilities of such Assignor under this Assignment and each Letter of Credit Agreement, Letter of Credit and other Loan Document, and all other obligations, indebtedness and liabilities of such Assignor to Assignee, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not evidenced by notes or other instruments, and whether such obligations, indebtedness and liabilities are direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, due or to become due, joint, several, or joint and several (all such obligations of such Assignor being the "Obligations"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this ----------- Assignment secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by each Assignor to Assignee but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such Assignor. 2. Authorization and Request. Each Assignor authorizes and ------------------------- requests that the Register of Copyrights and the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks record this conditional assignment. 3.

Listed on Exhibit C are all material Trademarks owned by Assignor, in which Assignor has an interest, or which are used in Assignor's business. (c) Each employee, agent and/or independent contractor of Assignor who has participated in the creation of the property constituting the Collateral has either executed an assignment of his or her rights of authorship to Assignor or is an employee of Assignor acting within the scope of his or her employment and was such an employee at the time of said creation. (d) If required by Assignee after the occurrence of a Security Event, all of Assignor's present and future Collateral (including, without limitation, software, computer programs and other works of authorship) subject or entitled to United States copyright, patent or trademark protection, the sale, licensing or other disposition of which results in royalties receivable, license fees receivable, accounts receivable or other sums owing to Assignor (collectively, "Receivables"), shall be registered with the United States ----------- Copyright Office or the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as applicable, and Assignor shall provide to Assignee copies of all such registrations promptly upon the receipt of the same. (e) Assignor shall undertake all reasonable measures to cause its employees, agents and independent contractors to assign to Assignor all rights of authorship to any copyrighted material in which Assignor has or may subsequently acquire any right or interest. (f) Performance of this Assignment does not conflict with or result in a breach of any agreement to which Assignor is bound, except to the extent that certain intellectual property agreements prohibit the disclosure of information or the assignment of the rights thereunder to a third party without the licensor's or other party's consent and this Assignment constitutes an assignment or requires such disclosure. (g) During the term of this Assignment, without the prior written consent of Assignee, Assignor will not transfer or otherwise encumber any interest in the Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Assignor in the ordinary course of business or as set forth in this Assignment.

(i) Assignor shall promptly advise Assignee of any material change in the composition of the Collateral, including but not limited to any subsequent ownership right of Assignor in or to any material Trademark, Patent or Copyright not specified in this Assignment. (j) Assignor shall (1) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights, subject to Assignor's reasonable business judgment as to the value of the Trademark, Patent or Copyright, and the cost of such defense, (2) use commercially reasonable efforts to detect infringements of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights and promptly advise Assignee in writing of material infringements detected, and (3) not allow any Trademarks, Patents, or Copyrights to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of Assignee, which shall not be unreasonably 4 withheld, unless Assignor determines that reasonable business practices suggest that abandonment is appropriate. (k) Assignor shall promptly register the most recent version of any of Assignor's Copyrights, Trademarks or Patents, if not so already registered, that are material to Assignor's business, and shall, from time to time, execute and file such other instruments, and take such further actions as Assignee may reasonably request from time to time to perfect or continue the perfection of Assignee's interest in the Collateral. (l) This Assignment creates, and in the case of after acquired Collateral, this Assignment will create at the time Assignor first has rights in such after acquired Collateral, in favor of Assignee a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral in the United States securing the payment and performance of the Obligations upon making the filings referred to in clause (m) below. (m) To its knowledge, except for, and upon, the filing with the United States Patent and Trademark office with respect to the Patents and Trademarks and the Register of Copyrights with respect to the Copyrights necessary to perfect the security interests and assignment created hereunder and except as has been already made or obtained, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any U.S. governmental authority or U.S. regulatory body is required either (1) for the grant by Assignor of the security interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Assignment by Assignor in the U.S. or (2) for the perfection in the United States or the exercise by Assignee of its rights and remedies thereunder.

(o) Assignor shall not enter into any agreement that would materially impair or conflict with Assignor's obligations hereunder without Assignee's prior written consent. Assignor shall not permit the inclusion in any material contract to which it becomes a party of any provisions that could or might in any way prevent the creation of a security interest in Assignor's rights and interest in any property included within the definition of the Collateral acquired under such contracts. (p) Upon any executive officer of Assignor obtaining actual knowledge thereof, Assignor will promptly notify Assignee in writing of any event that materially adversely affects the value of any material Collateral, the ability of Assignor to dispose of any material Collateral or the rights and remedies of Assignee in relation thereto, including the levy of any legal process against any of the Collateral. 4. Assignee's Rights.

(b) Upon an Event of Default, Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Assignee as Assignor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Assignor and in the name of Assignor, Assignee or otherwise, from time to time in Assignee's discretion, upon Assignor's failure or inability to do so, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Assignee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Assignment, including: (i) To modify, in its sole discretion, this Assignment without first obtaining Assignor's approval of or signature to such modification by amending Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2, Exhibit A-3, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks acquired by Assignor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks in which Assignor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest; and (ii) To file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Assignor where permitted by law. 7.

In that connection, Assignee shall have the right to cause any or all of the Collateral to be transferred of record into the name of Assignee or its nominee and the right to impose (i) such limitations and restrictions on the sale or assignment of the Collateral as Assignee may deem to be necessary or appropriate to comply with any law, rule or regulation having applicability to such sale or assignment and (ii) requirements for any necessary governmental approvals.

Release. At such time as Assignors shall completely satisfy all of ------- the Obligations, Assignee shall execute and deliver to Assignors all assignments and other instruments as may be reasonably necessary or proper to terminate Assignee's security interest and any conditional assignment in the Collateral, subject to any disposition of the Collateral which may have been made by Assignee pursuant to this Assignment.

No Waiver. No course of dealing between any Assignor and Assignee, --------- nor any failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Assignee, any right, power, or privilege under this Assignment or under the Loan Agreement or any other agreement, shall operate as a waiver.

Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in two or more ------------ counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. 18.
