A. (i) Each of the Members has contributed cash or property as its Capital Contribution to the Company (or has been credited amounts as a Capital Contribution due to a purchase of Percentage Interests) with a value in the amount of the “Capital Contribution” set forth on Exhibit A.

(ii) The Class A Member contributed certain assets to the Company in accordance with that certain Contribution Agreement dated as of April 11, 2007 (the “Contribution Agreement”). Among other assets contributed to the Company, the Class A Member granted the Company certain rights to use the names “Telos” and “XACTA” in the Business. As set forth in such Contribution Agreement, the Company’s right to use the names “Telos” and “XACTA” shall terminate upon dissolution of the Company. To the extent that contracts used by the Class A Member in the Business can not, by their terms, be assigned to the Company, the Company shall be the exclusive provider of services under such contracts and the Class A Member shall collect all revenues under such contracts and transfer all such revenues to the Company. In addition, to the extent that any employee of the Class A Member who provides services exclusively for the Business (a “Telos Employee”) is a participant in any retirement plan of the Class A Member, the Telos Employee shall continue to be employed by the Class A Member until the Company has established its own retirement plans. All expenses and costs associated with a Telos Employee (including salary, employment taxes and benefits) that are incurred by the Class A Member after the date of this Agreement shall be reimbursed by the Company to the Class A Member.

B. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Members shall not be required to lend any funds to the Company, make additional Capital Contributions or guarantee any loans for the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Class A Member shall be responsible for and pay all fees, expenses and disbursements of the Company incurred in connection with the purchase of the portion of the Percentage Interest of the Class A Member by the Class B Member described in the Recitals to this Agreement. Such fees, expenses and disbursements shall be treated as expenses of the Class A Member and not the Company and shall be allocated solely to the Class A Member.

C. In the event that the Board of Directors determines that additional funds are required by the Company in the ordinary course of its business, then the Class A Member shall lend such needed funds to the Company. Any such loans by the Class A Member shall bear interest at the Borrowing Rate. Any such loan, plus accrued interest, shall be repaid to the Class A Member prior to any distributions of Cash Flow or Capital Transaction Proceeds to the Members under Section 5.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the Class A Member shall not be required to make any loans to the Company (pursuant to Section 4.0 1(C) of the Operating Agreement or otherwise) if the making of such loans would constitute a violation of the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 21, 2002 by and among the Class A Member, Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as Agent and the Lenders (as defined therein) among others (as amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) or if a Default or Event of Default (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement) would occur immediately after giving effect to such loans.

In the event that a Class A Shortfall exists, the Class B Member shall have ten (10) days from the receipt of the Shortfall Notice to elect to have such Class A Shortfall be treated as the “Class A Deferred Distribution.” The Class A Deferred Distribution shall be entitled to a return at the Borrowing Rate determined as of the last day of the Initial Period, which shall accrue beginning as of October 15, 2007, and shall be paid to the Class A Member in accordance with Section 5.03.B. The Class B Member may, at any time, elect to have Cash Flow that would be distributable to the Class B Member under Section 5.03.A.(ii)(3) be distributed to the Class A Member to the extent of the Class A Deferred Distribution, plus the accrued return thereon. If such an election is made, an amount of profit equal to the return on the Class A Deferred Distribution that is being distributed will be allocated to the Class A Member.

B. The restrictions imposed on the Members, and owners of the Class B Member, by this Section 12.01 shall survive for two (2) years beyond the termination of the Company.

Section 12.02. Noncompetition. Each of the Members and each owner of the Class B Member agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as a proprietor, stockholder, employee, agent, officer, member, partner, consultant, representative, or otherwise, for his own account or the account of others:

(ii) during the three (3) year period commencing on the date that it (or the Class B Member, if applicable) ceases to be a Member, (a) sell or provide to any Customer of the Company, solicit any Customer for any products or services that are similar to or competitive with products or services provided by the Company, or (b) solicit the employment of any employee of the Company.

The Members acknowledge that certain lines of business that the Class A Member is currently engaged in are similar to the Business of the Company and the Members confirm that engaging in such businesses by the Class A Member shall not be considered a violation of this Section 12.02.

Section 12.03. Injunctive Relief. The Members and the owners of the Class B Member acknowledge that any violation of Sections 12.01 or 12.02 will cause the Company immediate and irreparable harm and the damages which the Company will suffer may be difficult or impossible to measure.

CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This Contribution Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 20th day of April, 2007 by and between TELOS CORPORATION (the “Contributor”), a Maryland corporation, and TELOS Identity Management Solutions, LLC, d/b/a, XACTA Identity Management Solutions (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

WHEREAS, the Contributor desires to contribute certain assets and liabilities (the “Interest”) to the Company as a contribution of capital in exchange for ninety-nine and nine hundred and ninety-nine thousands percent (99.999%) of the membership interests in the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Explanatory Statement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. The Explanatory Statement is hereby incorporated by reference and is hereby made a part of this Agreement.

2. The Contributor hereby contributes and conveys to the Company, and the Company hereby accepts, assumes, and takes from the Contributor, all of the assets of the Contributor listed on Exhibit A, and all of the liabilities of the Contributor listed on Exhibit B.

3. The Contributor is also granting the Company the license to use the name “Telos” within the Company’s corporate name and a license to use “XACTA” and/or Identity Management Solutions” in its business, however the Company’s right to use the names “Telos” and “XACTA” in any form, shall terminate upon dissolution of the Company. The Contributor and the Company may enter into a more detailed license agreement that may include additional restrictions and limits on the license as more fully set forth therein.

4. The Company hereby assumes, and agrees to perform and discharge when due, all of the liabilities set forth on Exhibit B.

5. The Contributor hereby contributes and conveys to the Company, and the Company hereby accepts, assumes, and takes from the Contributor, all of Contributor’s right, title and interest in and to the assets, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, subject to those which are set forth on Exhibit B and the rights of any third party lessors.

6. With respect to all assets identified on Exhibit A, which are being leased by Contributor and which rights under such leases are being assigned hereunder, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to assign any contract, agreement, or

 

49


permit which is by its terms or in law is non-assignable without the consent of the other party or parties thereto, unless such consent shall have been given, or as to which all the remedies for the enforcement thereof enjoyed by Contributor would not, as a matter of law, pass to the Company as an incident of the assignments provided for by this Agreement. In order, however, to provide the Company with the full realization and value of every contract, agreement, or permit, of the character described in the immediately preceding sentence, Contributor agrees that, it will, at the request and under the direction of the Company, in the name of Contributor or otherwise as the Company shall specify, take all reasonable action (including, without limitation, the appointment of Company as attorney-in-fact for Contributor) and do or cause to be done all such things as shall in the reasonable opinion of the Company or its counsel be necessary or proper (i) to assure that the rights of Contributor under such contracts, agreements, and permits, shall be preserved for the benefit of the Company and (ii) to facilitate receipt of the consideration to be received by Contributor in and under every such contract, agreement, and permit, which consideration shall be held for the benefit of, and shall be delivered to, the Company.

7. The employees of the Contributor who are sole shall remain employed by Telos for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days following the date hereof (the “Transition Period”). During this period, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the same or similar benefits and welfare plans in which such employees are currently eligible to participate in. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall benefit from the revenue and expenses related to those employees who are working solely for the Company and shall reimburse Contributor on a dollar for dollar basis all of the costs associated with retaining such employees on the existing employee benefit plans during the Transition Period. All employees will receive service credit for the periods in which the employees were employed by Contributor under any new Company plans to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

9. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware.

10. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts all of which together shall constitute one Agreement.

11. The Contributor and the Company agree to execute and acknowledge and deliver any further agreements, documents or instruments that are necessary or desirable in the judgment of the Contributors or the Company to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.

Material Handling Details

Approach for Delivering Products

Telos Maryland has the channel relationships, capacity, space, equipment, as well as the experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated personnel, needed to deliver ordered products and services in the desired timeframes.

Telos Maryland also has the infrastructure and mature processes to deliver support and services such as system configurations, integration and testing, custom software image loads, and training. Telos Maryland’s capabilities support on-line catalog orders, request for quotes (RFQs), bulk buys and projects requiring development of plans and schedules.

A key factor to successfully delivering products and associated services for both large volume and numerous small orders is an automated, up-to-date, reliable and accurate method of information exchange between customers and providers. Telos Maryland uses an enterprise architecture that can connect OEMs, multiple distributors, and other suppliers to a near real-time e-commerce enterprise.

Delivery of products starts with a customer order. ISO 9001:2000 order processing and logistics procedures provide the foundation for DMDC order processing capabilities. Each ordered system or peripheral will come with commercial documentation, power and interface cables, and (optional) tagged with a Unique Identification, Special Asset, and or radio frequency identification (RFID) asset tag.

Production and Delivery: For the last 36 years, Telos Maryland has offered direct OEM order execution and delivery, in addition to being a full service systems integrator. Telos Maryland has been working on DMDC product delivery and system integration jobs since Telos Maryland was first awarded the contract by DMDC in 1995.

For those products/systems that do not require specialized system integration prior to shipment, Telos Maryland can ship directly to the customer from the OEM factory and their worldwide distribution centers (pre-imaged by the OEM when required).

Non-routine hardware and software orders requiring complex configurations, orders requiring services such as site surveys, installation, site integration, and those orders directed by Telos Maryland through our on-going supply chain analysis are assembled, tested, and inspected at the Telos Maryland integration facility. Similarly, large orders requiring multiple OEM aggregation and a single delivery will be handled at the Telos Maryland facility. Telos Maryland has been performing this type of custom and specialized integration for all major OEMs for the last 36 years. For many of the large OEMs, Telos Maryland was the original systems integrator that introduced them into the DoD product space and included them on our contracts.

Telos Maryland’s organic delivery infrastructure has a dedicated 67,000 square foot assembly and integration area. The integration facility has the capability to integrate and simultaneously

 

75


test more than 36,000 configured systems annually. If needed, Telos Maryland can also increase our integration capacity by using additional space or by adding a second and third shift. The integration facility has a flexible design, allowing emulation of customer local area network environments, to include the capability to load the DMDC Golden Master image on all systems automatically.

Adjacent to our integration facility, Telos Maryland maintains a secure Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) warehouse facility to administer all functions for the DMDC, such as “ship-in-place.”

The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) has approved the Telos Maryland Government Property Control System (GPCS) for all applicable functions in property management, identification, storage, reports and subcontractor control.

Software Image Loading: All desktops and notebooks will be configured and pre-loaded (as-required) with the DMDC Golden Master operating system (OS). Telos Maryland and its desktop and notebook OEMs can leverage an automated image load system that allows high volume production as well as management of the image integrity and virus protection. Custom images can also be provided using this established custom imaging tool. Telos Maryland has provided more than 48,000 custom imaged notebooks for the Army under the ARISS program and 9,600 for the Department of Census.

Delivery Times: Telos Maryland will meet or exceed the stated DMDC delivery times as negotiated with DMDC and GSA. Telos Maryland does require monthly forecast and lead-time analysis from DMDC and our Program Managers that provide suppliers the required stocking levels in order to meet required delivery dates from DMDC.

Telos Maryland performs continuous assessment of the supply chain and takes ongoing corrective and preventative action with our suppliers as part of our ISO 9001:2000 quality standard. This ensures DMDC is receiving peak performance from all aspects of the logistics supply chain.

We have long standing agreements with our transportation carriers and our mutual past experience with DMDC and DoD provides for an experienced and knowledgeable team to get the products delivered on-time and on-location. Telos Maryland and our shippers have significant experience delivering equipment to CONUS as well as named and remote OCONUS locations. Established relationships with multiple commercial carriers including UPS, Federal Express, and DHL ensure DMDC is receiving on-time delivery, full in transit shipment tracking, secure transport, and cost-effective shipping rates.

Telos Maryland has established a global supply chain network and will utilize not only the distribution points of our OEMs and major distribution partners, but will also utilize our logistics and service personnel in-theatre to assist, deliver and manage product deliveries for DMDC.

Expedited Deliveries: As part of Telos Maryland’s Customer Service Program, DMDC has the option of requesting alternate or additional delivery terms or schedules, such as expedited

 

76


delivery on any order. We offer tailor-made instant response services to DMDC and have a proven logistics shipping network to ensure the shipment arrives safely, without delay and to the right place. Expedited delivery is negotiated between Telos Maryland and the ordering contracting officer on an order-by-order basis using Telos Maryland’s established, proven team of shipment professionals. In the past, Telos Maryland has achieved expedited shipping times of two (2) days for CONUS and three (3) days for OCONUS deliveries.

Features of Telos Maryland’s Expedited Delivery Program

 

 

Air freight utilized for all point-to-point deliveries

 

 

Dedicated Telos Maryland Transportation Professional to track and communicate shipment real-time back to the DMDC POC

 

 

Guaranteed delivery timeframe(s) or no charge for expedited shipment. OCONUS shipment charges will still apply

 

 

Staff in more than 150 OCONUS locations to help expedite deliveries.

High Volume/Surge Buy Periods: In addition to the combined capacity of the Telos Maryland and its OEM network, Telos Maryland may pre-buy inventory based on upcoming high volume requirements determined through collaboration with the DMDC customer.

Consolidated Buy Periods: When requested by DMDC prior to the consolidated/bulk buy, Telos Maryland will provide tiered pricing for desktop, notebook, and peripheral configurations. Telos Maryland will work closely with our OEMs and channels to obtain the most favorable discounted pricing.

Approach to Providing Warranty

The ISO 9001:2000-certified 365x24x7 Telos Maryland Corporation Customer Support Center (TCCSC) is the heart of Telos Maryland’s customer support responsiveness. All customer support requests are received at the TCCSC. As the first and single point of contact (POC) for customer support, the TCCSC provides a wide range of services. To ensure the quality and timeliness of the support provided, all TCCSC personnel are trained not only in their specific role, but also in overall TCCSC capabilities. This arms the staff with the knowledge to identify the resource most appropriate to respond to a user’s request for technical assistance. Periodic training is provided as new products are added or installations are completed so that the TCCSC staff members who handle the requests can fully respond to the users on the initial contact.

The TCCSC is a feature-rich customer support center that has been in operation for nearly 30 years. It has evolved into a mature customer support center that focuses heavily on Federal Government requirements.

 

77


The key to Telos Maryland’s ability to deliver technical assistance, warranty, maintenance, and order processing to our clients, is the fact that we have integrated three state-of-the-art automated systems:

 

 

Peregrine ServiceCenter is an enterprise package designed specifically for service organizations which support a diverse user and equipment base. ServiceCenter is based on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), the industry standard for customer support services best practices. ServiceCenter also incorporates workflow process management that ensures processes are followed, provides automatic escalation, and enables management insight into the status of services. Within the TCCSC, the ServiceCenter supports Customer Relationship Management (CRM), warranty management, maintenance delivery, asset/configuration management, software release/update management, resource management, call handling, proactive problem identification/resolution, and performance measurement.

 

 

Deltek Enterprise is a Government-approved finance and accounting, project management, resource management, subcontractor management, procurement, and materials management system. Deltek Enterprise integrates with the ServiceCenter to deliver corporate accounting and business management functions to the TCCSC technician.

 

 

Telos Maryland e-procure is an electronic catalog and order processing system as discussed above. In addition to providing the standard electronic catalog and ordering features, Telos Maryland e-procure offers a full range of procurement and logistics functions including life-cycle order tracking, electronic order placement with OEMs, vendor performance tracking, and customized user searches.

Proactive Problem Identification and Resolution/Repair: Our philosophy for customer support is to identify and correct problems as early as possible, in many cases, before the client detects the problem. The TCCSC monitors various data sources related to product, installation, performance, security, and interoperability of the Telos Maryland provided products and systems. When an item of interest is identified, the TCCSC proactively notifies affected users of the information, regardless of whether they have reported a similar problem. The TCCSC also evaluates trends in the service calls it receives. When a trend is identified, DMDC users who have similar systems can be notified. The TCCSC has the ability to push key notifications and web technology briefings/articles via e-mail to customers (optional).

Telos Maryland’s Current Quality Certifications

Quality Organization: The Telos Maryland ISO 9001:2000 Quality System, certified by an independent rating facility, is organized in a manner that enhances our ability to provide world-class quality products and services and ensure customer satisfaction. The overall Quality Assurance (QA) organization is functionally divided into four distinct operations: Incoming QA, In-Process QA, Final QA, and Internal Audits.

Telos Maryland performs continuous audits of OEM facilities and distribution points deemed critical as part of our ISO 9001:2000 program and ongoing supply chain analysis.

 

78


Incoming Quality Assurance: The Incoming QA function ensures that all purchased products, parts, assemblies and systems meet Telos Maryland’s and DMDC’s specified requirements. This is accomplished through several measurements including: comparison of quantities, type, and part numbers received against a purchase order; determination of the condition in which the parts are received (whole/damaged); and adherence to engineering specifications (such as revision level, size, color, finish, etc.). Defect and failure data are collected to identify trends and assess vendor quality.

In-Process Quality Assurance: The In-Process QA function conducts inspections at specified intervals during the integration cycle of each system. At each inspection and test point, data is captured and entered into the Manufacturing Quality Information (MQI) database where it is analyzed for trends and required corrective action. Additionally, for those shipments produced and shipped from the OEM and distribution points, Telos Maryland performs audits and requires regular data feeds from these shipping points to support the Telos Maryland consolidated quality program.

Final Quality Assurance: The Final QA function conducts reviews of all outgoing products. This includes inspection of accessories (interface/power cables, software packages, user manuals, etc.) to ensure they are correct and provided in the exact quantities. Additionally, outgoing systems configurations are checked to ensure that all required integration and test steps have been successfully completed. DD-250s are checked for completeness and accuracy before submission to the Government. Telos Maryland requires our OEMs and distribution partners to provide quality data as part of Telos Maryland’s consolidated quality program.

Internal Auditing: The Internal Auditing function conducts comprehensive internal audits throughout the company to ensure continued conformance to the ISO 9001:2000-certified policies and procedures and to assess and monitor all aspects of contract performance. Additionally, internal audits ensure that processes and procedures are effective and conducive to producing optimum quality products. This is accomplished by rigorous audits of procedures and processes as they apply to specific contracts. When deficiencies or needs for improvement are identified, a corrective action report is issued for prompt remediation of the deficiency.

 

79


Monitoring, Assessing, and Taking Corrective Actions: Telos Maryland employs several mechanisms to continuously monitor, assess, and provide feedback to the QA organization to take corrective actions. Our continuous improvement philosophy is an integral part of our daily business practices, and has led to an extremely low rate of field failures as shown in Table 1.2-1.

Table 1.2-1: Telos Maryland continuously monitors, assesses, and provides feedback to the QA

organization for continuous quality improvement.

During the last four years, Telos Maryland has achieved a near zero product failure rate; we will apply these same mature processes and procedures in support of DMDC.

Quality Certification and Processes throughout the Life of Contracts

Telos Maryland primarily uses five tools/processes to ensure continuous quality throughout the life of the contract, which are:

ISO 9001:2000 Recertification’s: Telos Maryland obtained our first ISO 9001:2000 certification in 1996, and has renewed it every three (3) years since then. As part of Telos Maryland’s approach to ensure quality, processes and certifications are maintained and kept current throughout the life of all contracts. Telos Maryland has implemented a centralized policy and procedures initiative using the Policy Technologies Policy and Procedure Manager software. All of the Telos Maryland policies and procedures have been centralized as a part of our continuous improvement initiative. All of the business processes have been documented and are subject to automatically scheduled periodic review. These policies and procedures cover all aspects of our business processes and are tightly coupled with our existing approved ISO 9001:2000 procedures.

Senior Management Site Visits: Telos Maryland senior management makes periodic visits to customer sites to discuss our performance and to ensure the customer is happy with the products and services that Telos Maryland is providing.

 

80


Customer Satisfaction Surveys: As a part of our customer feedback and continuous improvement process, we request customer feedback when service tickets are closed to measure customer satisfaction on a continuous closed loop basis. Any deficiencies discovered are analyzed to determine their cause and corrective actions are taken immediately.

Performance Metrics: Telos Maryland has established contract performance metrics; and, we will closely track and share with DMDC the results of these metrics. If necessary, Telos Maryland will take immediate corrective actions to ensure we meet or exceed performance thresholds.

OEM Quality Tracking: Telos Maryland’s quality organization performs an ongoing analysis of the supply chain to ensure performance by the OEMs and distribution partners in the effective and efficient execution of the established metrics and contractual requirements of DMDC contract.
