Overview

 

CACI founded its business in 1962 in simulation technology, and has strategically diversified primarily within the information technology (“IT”) and communications industries. With fiscal year 2004 (“FY2004”) revenue of $1.15 billion, CACI serves clients in the government and commercial markets, primarily throughout North America and internationally on behalf of U.S. customers, as well as the United Kingdom. The Company primarily delivers IT and communications-solutions to clients through four areas of expertise or service offerings: systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services. Through these service offerings, the Company provides comprehensive, practical IT and communications solutions by adapting emerging technologies and continually evolving legacy strengths in such areas as information assurance and security, reengineering, logistics and engineering support, automated debt management systems and services, litigation support systems and services, product data management, software development and reuse, voice, data and video communications, simulation and planning, financial and human resource systems and geo-demographic and customer data analysis. As a result of these broad capabilities, many of the Company’s client relationships have existed for five years or more.

 

The Company’s high quality service has enabled it to sustain winning repeat business and long-term client relationships and also to compete effectively for new clients and new contracts. The Company is organized to seek competitive business opportunities and has designed its operations to support major programs through centralized business

development and business alliances. CACI has structured its new business development organization to respond to the competitive marketplace, particularly within the federal government, and supports that activity with full-time marketing, sales, communications, and proposal development specialists.

 

The Company’s primary markets - both domestic and international - are agencies of national governments, and major corporations. The demand for CACI’s services in large measure is created by the increasingly complex network, systems and information environments in which governments and businesses operate, and by the need to stay current with emerging technology while increasing productivity and, ultimately, performance.

 

At June 30, 2004, CACI employed approximately 9,300 people. The Company currently operates from its headquarters at Three Ballston Plaza, 1100 North Glebe Road in Arlington, Virginia. CACI has operating offices and facilities in over 123 other locations throughout the United States and Western Europe.

 

Domestic Operations

 

CACI’s domestic operations are conducted through a number of subsidiaries, and account for all of the domestic revenue generated by the Company. Some of the contracts performed by our domestic operations segment involve assignment of employees to international locations. The Company provides IT and communications solutions to its Federal, Commercial and State and Local clients through all four of its major service offerings: systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services. Generally, the solutions offered by our domestic operations are applied by clients to improve their organizational performance by enhancing system infrastructures.

 

Systems integration offerings combine current systems with new technologies or integrate hardware and software from multiple sources to enhance operations and save time and money. Systems integration services include planning, designing, implementing and managing solutions that resolve specific technical or business needs; extracting core business logic from existing systems and preserving it for migration to more modern environments; helping clients visualize possible changes in processes and systems before implementation; and web-enabling systems and applications, bringing the power of the Internet to clients and system users.

 

Managed network services offerings include a complete suite of solutions for total life cycle support of global networks. These offerings include planning and building voice, video and data networks; managing network communications infrastructures; operating network systems, including monitoring codes, traffic, security, and fault isolation and resolution; and assuring that information is secure from unauthorized interception and intrusion during its storage and transmission.

 

Knowledge management offerings encompass a range of information management tools and enabling technologies, including Internet-based user interfaces, commercial off-the-shelf software, and workflow management systems. These technologies enable users to automate all aspects of document administration, including warehousing, retrieving, and sharing, while improving processes, enhancing support and allowing organizations to achieve higher operational efficiencies and mission effectiveness.

 

Engineering services offerings enable clients to standardize and improve the way they manage the logistical life cycles of systems, products, and material assets, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity. They also provide acquisition support, prototype development and integration, software design and integration, systems life extension and training in the use of analytical and collaboration tools for the U.S. intelligence community. The solutions provided are often coupled with the Company’s simulation and programming services to deliver advanced logistics planning solutions.

 

In fashioning solutions utilizing the technologies of each of these service offerings, the Company makes extensive use of its wide array of modeling and simulation products and services, thereby enabling clients to visualize the impact of proposed changes or new technologies before implementation. The Company’s simulation offerings address client needs in the areas of military training and war-gaming, logistics, manufacturing, wide area networks, including satellites and land lines, local area networks, the study of business processes, and the design of distributed computer systems architecture.

International Operations

 

CACI’s international operations are conducted primarily through the Company’s operating subsidiary in Europe, CACI Limited, and account for all revenue generated from international clients and over 83 percent of the Company’s commercial revenue. CACI Limited is headquartered in London, England, and operates primarily in support of the Company’s systems integration line of business.

 

The Company’s international systems integration offerings focus primarily on planning, designing, implementing and managing solutions that resolve specific technical or business needs for commercial and government clients in the telecommunications, financial services, healthcare services and transportation sectors. The international operations also concentrate on combining data and technology in software products and services that provide strategic information on customers, buying patterns and market trends for clients who are engaged in retail sales of consumer products, direct marketing campaigns, franchise or branch site location projects, and similar endeavors.

 

Major Markets and Significant Activities

 

CACI operates in a highly competitive industry that includes many firms, some of which are larger in size and have greater financial resources. The Company obtains much of its business on the basis of proposals submitted in response to requests from potential and current customers, who may also receive proposals from other firms. Additionally, the Company faces indirect competition from certain government agencies that perform services for themselves similar to those marketed by CACI. The Company knows of no single competitor that is dominant in its fields of technology. The Company has a relatively small share of the available worldwide market for its products and services and intends to achieve growth in part through increasing market share.

 

Although the Company is a supplier of proprietary computer-based simulation technology products and marketing systems products in both domestic and international operations, CACI is not primarily focused on being a software product developer-distributor (see discussion following on Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets and Licenses).

 

CACI offers substantially all of its entire range of information systems, technical and communications services and proprietary products to defense and civilian agencies of the U.S. Government. In order to do so, the Company must maintain expert knowledge of agency policies and operations. The Company’s work for U.S. Government agencies may combine a wide range of skills drawn from its major service offerings, including information systems design, development and maintenance, systems engineering, telecommunications, logistics sciences, information assurance and security, military systems engineering, simulation, automated document management, litigation support and debt management. The Company occasionally contracts through both its domestic and international operations to supply services and/or products for governments of other nations.

 

The Company’s commercial client base consists primarily of large corporations in the UK. This market is the primary target of the Company’s proprietary software and database products.

 

Decisions regarding contract awards by the Company’s government clients typically are based on assessment of the quality of past performance, responsiveness to proposal requirements, price, and other factors.

 

The Company has the capability to combine comprehensive knowledge of client challenges with significant expertise in the design, integration, development and implementation of advanced information technology and communications solutions. This capability provides CACI with opportunities either to compete directly for, or to support other bidders in competition for multi-million dollar and multi-year award contracts from the U.S. Government.

 

CACI has strategic business relationships with many companies associated with the information technology industry. These strategic partners have business objectives compatible with those of the Company, and offer products and services that complement CACI’s. The Company intends to continue development of these kinds of relationships wherever they support its growth objectives.

Marketing and new business development for the Company is conducted by virtually all officers and managers of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer, executive officers, vice presidents, and division managers. The Company employs marketing professionals who identify and qualify major contract opportunities, primarily in the federal government market. The Company’s proprietary software and marketing systems are sold primarily by full time sales people. The Company also has established agreements for the resale of certain third party software and data products.

 

Much of the Company’s business is won through submission of formal competitive bids. Commercial bids are frequently negotiated as to terms and conditions for schedule, specifications, delivery and payment. With respect to bids for government work, however, in most cases the client specifies the terms and conditions and form of contract. In situations where the client-imposed contract type and/or terms appear to expose the Company to inappropriate risk, the Company may seek alternate arrangements or opt not to bid for the work. Essentially all contracts with the United States Government, and many contracts with other government entities, permit the government client to terminate the contract at any time for the convenience of the government or for default by the contractor. Although the Company operates under the risk that such terminations may occur and have a material impact on operations, throughout the Company’s 40+ years in business such terminations have been rare and, generally, have not materially affected operations. As with other government contractors, the Company’s business is subject to government client funding decisions and actions that are beyond its control. CACI’s contracts and subcontracts are composed of a wide range of contract types, including firm fixed-priced, cost reimbursement, time-and-materials, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) and government wide acquisition contracts (known as “GWACS”) such as General Services Administration (“GSA”) schedule contracts. By Company policy, fixed-price contracts require the approval of at least two senior officers of the Company.

 

At any one time, the Company may have more than a thousand separate active contracts and/or task orders. In 2004, the ten top revenue-producing contracts accounted for 47.2% of CACI’s revenue, or $540.3 million; however, no single contract accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue.

 

In 2004, 93.7% of CACI’s revenue came from U.S. Government prime or subcontracts. Of CACI’s total revenue, 67.4% came from U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) contracts, 9.4% from contracts with Department of Justice (“DoJ”), and 16.9% from other civilian agency government clients. The remaining 6.3% of revenue came from commercial business, both domestic and international, and state and local contracts.

 

Although the Company is continuously working to diversify its client base, it will continue to aggressively seek additional work from the DoD. In 2004, DoD revenue grew by 43.9%, or $235.7 million. The acquisitions of Acton Burnell, Inc., (“Acton Burnell”) in October 2002, substantially all of the assets of Premier Technology Group, Inc., (“PTG”) in May 2003, C-CUBED Corporation (“C-CUBED) in October 2003, CMS Information Services, Inc. (“CMS”) in March 2004 and certain assets of the Defense and Intelligence Group of American Management Systems, Inc. (“D&IG”) in May 2004 and other acquisitions accounted for approximately 61.8% of the revenue growth within DoD. Internal growth accounted for the remaining 38.2% of the DoD revenue growth.

 

Recent Significant Acquisitions

 

During the past three fiscal years, the Company examined a number of opportunities and completed multiple acquisitions. Set forth below is a description of some of the most significant acquisitions during this period:

 

  On May 1, 2004, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets of the D&IG for $420.7 million, including transaction costs. The D&IG provides the U.S. Government with business consulting services and solutions, including information technology and software design, for defense, intelligence and homeland security agencies in support of acquisition, financial management, logistics, war-fighting and intelligence missions. The D&IG provides CACI with a broad range of consulting services to support the modernization of DoD business operations.

 

  On March 1, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of CMS for $28.2 million. CMS specializes in enterprise network solutions, enterprise financial management systems and software and integration services primarily in the national defense sector.

  On January 16, 2004, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of MTL Systems, Inc. (“MTL”) for $4.4 million. MTL provides engineering and integration services for the Department of Defense, including advanced imagery technology, remote sensing, algorithm development, modeling and simulation and rapid change detection.

 

  On October 16, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of C-CUBED for $36.2 million of which $34.7 million has been paid. C-CUBED provides specialized services in support of C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) initiatives to clients in the DoD, federal, civilian, and intelligence communities, including network enterprise solutions, systems integration, integrated logistics support, combat systems and deep submergence engineering.

 

  On June 6, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Rochester Information Systems, Ltd. (“RISys”), an United Kingdom company, for $1.9 million of which $1.7 million has been paid. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay the balance of the consideration provided that certain agreed performance targets are met within 24 months following the acquisition. RISys specializes in the development and implementation of enterprise information solutions for the UK Public Sector, especially Health, Education and Local Governments.

 

  On May 15, 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of PTG for $48.8 million of which $46.2 million has been paid. The balance of $2.6 million will be paid in the form of earn out payments tied to the continuation of existing business. PTG provides professional services to clients in the DoD and the intelligence community, including intelligence analysis and security services, information technology training, program management and logistics.

 

  On February 28, 2003, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Applied Technology Solutions of Northern Virginia, Inc. (“ATS”) for $13.1 million. ATS is an information technology company providing knowledge management, program management, network engineering and training to clients in the national intelligence community.

 

  On October 16, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Acton Burnell, Inc., for $29.4 million. Acton Burnell is an information technology company that provides systems integration, knowledge management, manpower readiness and training, and financial systems solutions to the federal government.

 

  On August 16, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the Government Solutions Divisions of Condor Technology Solutions, Inc. (“Condor”) for $16.2 million. The acquired Condor business complements the Company’s systems integration, knowledge management, data mining and purchasing systems solutions for federal clients.

 

  On November 1, 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of DSIC for $47.0 million. The acquired business implements enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems, including large-scale financial and human resource systems, and e-procurement applications; develops client/server and web-enabled applications; operates an enterprise networking and information assurance practice; solves complex business problems with a recognized process modeling and simulation methodology; and provides acquisition/program management consulting services, primarily to the U.S. Government.

 

Over the past several years, the U.S. government has organized the armed services so that military personnel focus on combat and war-fighter roles, while some non-combatant roles are filled by personnel provided by contractors. The acquisitions completed by CACI, as described above, have positioned CACI to respond to certain aspects of this departmental transformation of the U.S. Department of Defense, and deliver contract personnel to fill some of these non-combatant roles including logistics, intelligence gathering and analysis, organizational realignment and training.

Interrogation Services

 

The interrogation services CACI performs in Iraq are a recent extension of CACI’s tactical intelligence and field services line of business for information collection, data analysis and decision support. CACI began providing interrogation services in August of 2003 with the issuance of orders to provide a wide variety of information technology services for security, intelligence and logistics support to the Coalition Joint Task Force in Iraq, under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (“BPA”) CACI acquired when it purchased the assets of PTG in May 2003. CACI received the opportunity to propose personnel for these services because of the relationship established through the tactical intelligence business base acquired from PTG. As described below, the task orders issued under that BPA have been replaced by contracts directly with the U.S. Army.

 

The work performed by CACI’s interrogators in Iraq is performed under the monitoring and supervision of the U.S. military chain of command in Iraq. The military assigns them to specific interrogation cases and projects. The interrogators perform IT related tasks such as entering interrogation information into a database, analyzing the intelligence data and information available to determine how the “pieces” may fit together, and disseminating the information resulting from their analysis. They participate on interrogation teams composed of an interpreter, an analyst and an interrogator under supervision of a non-commissioned officer, warrant officer or commissioned officer. The interrogator’s role on the team is to propose the plan for interviewing the detainee, the questions to ask, when to ask the questions and how to support the task of finding out intelligence information that will assist the command in its military mission.

 

All interrogators hired by CACI are qualified as required by the applicable contract statement of work. The statement of work, which was issued by the military, provides specific qualifications for interrogators. A report of the Army Inspector General, dated July 21, 2004, confirmed that all interrogators provided by CACI satisfied the Army’s statement of work criteria.

 

Under CACI’s BPA for U.S. Army work in Iraq, 11 delivery orders were issued for a total maximum value of $66 million (to be billed only as work was performed and services delivered). The delivery orders for intelligence services (6 each) have been terminated, and replaced with a bridge contract for a 120 day term, and two 30 day options. The other remaining delivery orders for logistics services (5 each) have been terminated and replaced with a letter contract. CACI is currently negotiating the terms of a definitive bridge contract to cover this work. From the start of the first delivery orders in August 2003, through the end of June 2004, CACI has billed the U.S. Army a total of $23.5 million for work and services under these 11 orders. CACI has received $17 million in payments for this work to date. Less than 1% of CACI revenue for the year ended June 30, 2004 was for interrogator support at Abu Ghraib.

 

Given the extensive coverage of the events at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, CACI management is focused, in the short term, on ensuring that inaccuracies contained in the media accounts regarding CACI’s role in the matter are immediately corrected. The company posts on its website: www.caci.com additional information, news releases, and FAQs on CACI’s Iraq Business at the section entitled “The Truth Will Out”.

 

Seasonal Nature of Business

 

The Company’s business in general is not seasonal, although the summer and winter holiday seasons affect Company revenue because of the impact of holidays and vacations on the Company’s labor sales and on product and service sales by the Company’s international operations. Variations in the Company’s business also may occur at the expiration of major contracts until such contracts are renewed or new business obtained.

 

The U.S. Government’s fiscal year ends on September 30 of each year. It is not uncommon for government agencies to award extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the weeks before the end of the fiscal year in order to avoid the loss of unexpended fiscal year funds. Moreover, in years when the U.S. Government does not complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year, government operations typically are funded pursuant to a “continuing resolution” that authorizes agencies of the government to continue to operate, but traditionally does not authorize new spending initiatives. When the government operates pursuant to a continuing resolution, delays can occur in procurement of products and services, and such delays can affect the Company’s revenue and profit during the period of delay.

 

CACI Employment and Benefits

 

The Company’s employees are its most valuable resource. It is in continuing competition for highly skilled professionals in virtually all of its business areas. The success and growth of CACI’s business are significantly correlated with its ability to recruit, train, promote and retain high quality people at all levels of the organization.

 

7


For these reasons, the Company endeavors to maintain competitive salary structures, incentive compensation programs, fringe benefits, opportunities for growth, and individual recognition and award programs. Fringe benefits are generally consistent across the Company’s subsidiaries, and include paid vacations and holidays, medical, dental, disability and life insurance, tuition reimbursement for job-related education and training, and other benefits under various retirement savings and stock purchase plans.

 

The Company has published policies that set high standards for the conduct of its business. It requires all of its employees, consultants, officers, and directors annually to execute and affirm a code of ethics applicable to their activities.

 

Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets and Licenses

 

The Company owns 21 patents in the United States and 1 patent in Canada. While the Company believes its patents are valid, it does not consider that its business is dependent on patent protection in any material way. CACI claims copyright, trademark and other proprietary rights in a variety of intellectual property, including each of its proprietary computer software and data products and the related documentation. The Company presently owns 29 registered trademarks and service marks in the U.S. and 57 registered trademarks and service marks in other countries, primarily the U.K. All of the Company’s registered trademarks and service marks may be renewed indefinitely. In addition, the Company asserts copyrights in essentially all of its electronic and hard copy publications, its proprietary software and data products and in software produced at the expense of the U.S. Government, which rights can be maintained for up to 75 years. Because most of the Company’s business involves providing services to government entities, the Company’s operations generally are not substantially dependent upon obtaining and/or maintaining copyright or trademark protections, although its operations make use of such protections and benefit from them as discriminators in competition. CACI is also a party to agreements that give it the right to distribute computer software, data and other products owned by other companies, and to receive income from such distribution. As a systems integrator, it is important that the Company maintain access to software, data and products supplied by such third parties, but the Company generally has experienced little difficulty in doing so. The durations of such agreements vary according to the terms of the agreements themselves.

 

The Company maintains a number of trade secrets that contribute to its success and competitive distinction and endeavors to accord such trade secrets protection adequate to ensure their continuing availability to the Company. While retaining protection of its trade secrets and vital confidential information is important, the Company is not materially dependent on maintenance of any specific trade secret or group of trade secrets.

 

Backlog

 

The Company’s backlog as of June 30, 2004 was $3.4 billion, of which $745 million was funded for orders believed to be firm. Total backlog as of June 30, 2003 was $2.5 billion, of which $469 million was for funded orders. The source of backlog is primarily contracts with the U.S. Government. It is presently anticipated, based on current revenue projections, the majority of the funded backlog will be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005.

Item 2. Properties

 

As of June 30, 2004, CACI leased office space at 123 U.S. locations containing an aggregate of approximately 1,943,000 square feet located in 28 states and the District of Columbia. In two countries outside the U.S., CACI leased four offices containing an aggregate of about 32,000 square feet. CACI’s leases expire primarily within the next four years, with the exception of eight leases in Northern Virginia and six leases outside of Northern Virginia, which will expire within the next 5 to 7 years. CACI anticipates that most of these leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

 

All of CACI’s offices are in reasonably modern and well-maintained buildings. The facilities are substantially utilized and adequate for present operations.

 

As of June 30, 2004, CACI International Inc maintained its corporate headquarters in approximately 105,000 square feet of space at 1100 North Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia. See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the Company’s lease commitments.

 

CACI acquired certain real estate in Dayton, OH in connection with the purchase of MTL Systems, Inc., in January, 2004. The real estate consists of 2.6 acres, which includes a 7,110 square foot garage, and a 36,360 square foot two story office building. This property carries a 10 year mortgage.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

Appeal of CACI International Inc, ASBCA No.5305

 

Reference is made to Part II, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, for the most recently filed information concerning the appeal filed on September 27, 2000, with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (“ASBCA”) challenging the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (“DISA”) denial of its claim for breach of contract damages. The appeal seeks damages arising from DISA’s breach of a license agreement pursuant to which the DoD agreed to conduct all electronic data interchanges (which can be broadly understood to mean e-commerce) exclusively through certified value-added networks, such as the network maintained by Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CACI, INC.-FEDERAL, for the period from September 2, 1994 through April 22, 1998. By decision of March 22, 2001, in the companion case of GAP Instrument Corporation, ASBCA No.51658 (2001), the ASBCA held that the Government’s failure to conduct all electronic data interchanges exclusively through certified value-added networks constituted a breach of contract.

 

Since the filing of Registrant’s report indicated above, the post-hearing briefing has been completed. Registrant believes that a decision of the ASBCA is likely to be issued before the end of calendar 2004.

 

CACI Dynamics Systems, Inc. v. Delphinus Engineering, Inc., et al

 

Reference is made to Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003 for the most recently filed information concerning the suit filed on October 1, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against Delphinus Engineering, Inc., V. Allen Spicer and James R. Everett seeking damages and attorney’s fees arising from defendant’s efforts to move business from CACI to Delphinus.

 

Since the filing of Registrant’s report described above, the Spicer arbitration in South Carolina was held, with final briefings scheduled to be completed by the end of September 2004. By decision dated July 15, 2004, the arbitrator granted our motion

 

9


for directed verdict on the counter-claim for violation of the South Carolina Payment of Wages Act, promissory estoppel and tortious interference with prospective contractual relations. As a result, all of Spicer’s claims against CACI have been resolved in CACI’s favor and the parties are awaiting the decision of the arbitrator on CACI’s claims against Spicer.

 

Saleh, et al. v. Titan Corp., et al, Case No. 04 CV 1143 R (NLS) (S.D. Cal. 2004)

 

On June 9, 2004, seven named plaintiffs filed a twenty-six count class-action complaint against a number of corporate defendants and individual corporate employees alleging that defendants formed a conspiracy to increase demand for interrogation services in Iraq. The complaint named CACI International Inc, CACI INC.–FEDERAL, CACI N.V., as well as a CACI employee, Stephen A. Stefanowicz, among the defendants in the case. The complaint alleges that defendants engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity, violated U.S. domestic and international law and intentionally and negligently committed a series of tortious acts against plaintiffs, who were detainees at Abu Ghraib prison and elsewhere in Iraq. The complaint alleges that instead of providing interrogation and other related intelligence services in a lawful manner, the defendants conspired with each other and with certain U.S. government officials to direct and conduct a scheme to torture, rape, and, in some instances, summarily execute plaintiffs. Plaintiffs’ complaint seeks a permanent injunction, compensatory and punitive damages, treble damages and attorney’s fees under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), declaratory relief, and a permanent injunction against any future contracting with the United States. On June 30, 2004, plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint adding an additional named plaintiff. On July 30, 2004, plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs seek to have their action certified as a class action, including three subclasses certified; a RICO Class, a Common Law Class, and a Wrongful Death Class. The twenty -six claims allege violations of a variety of laws including RICO, a Conspiracy to Violate RICO, the Alien Tort Claims Act, the Geneva Conventions, the U.S. Constitution, and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. In addition, the plaintiffs allege Assault and Battery, Sexual Assault and Battery, Wrongful Death, False Imprisonment, Negligent Hiring and Supervision, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress, Conversion, Unjust Enrichment, and violation of various federal procurement laws and regulations. Plaintiffs also request Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive Relief.

 

The Company absolutely rejects the idea that it was ever a party to any kind of conspiracy related to the actions of its personnel in Iraq and intends to vigorously defend its hard earned reputation against the malicious and damaging allegations of this suit. The Company notes that, although the complaint names CACI as a “Torture Conspirator” and alleges that the “Torture Conspirators” were responsible for plaintiffs’ injuries, the complaint fails to present any information linking any CACI employee to any claimed injury. The CACI defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the case on September 10, 2004.

 

Ibrahim, et al. v. Titan Corp., et al., Case No. 1:04-CV-01248-JR (D.D.C. 2004)

 

On July 27, 2004 a lawsuit was filed on behalf of five Iraqis who claimed they were subjected to acts of murder, torture, and other abuses while they or their family members were held at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The lawsuit names CACI International Inc, CACI INC.–FEDERAL, CACI N.V. and Titan Corporation as defendants. The plaintiffs allege that they suffered significant physical injury, emotional distress, and/or wrongful death for which the defendants are liable for compensatory and punitive damages.

 

Plaintiffs allege violations of the Alien Tort Claims Act, RICO, Assault & Battery, Wrongful Death, False Imprisonment, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, Negligence and Violation of Federal procurement laws and regulations governing contractors. On the basis of both its own internal investigation of the activities of its personnel at Abu Ghraib and the results of government investigations of actions at the prison, the Company believes strongly that the allegations of the complaint are false and intends to vigorously defend its hard earned reputation against the malicious and damaging allegations of this suit. The CACI defendants will respond to the complaint no later than October 12, 2004.

 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the Registrant’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

PART II

 

Item 5. Market for the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

 

The Registrant’s Common Stock became publicly traded on June 2, 1986, replacing paired units of common stock of CACI, Inc., and beneficial interests in common shares of CACI N.V. which had been traded in the over-the-counter market before that date.

 

From July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004, the ranges of high and low sales prices of the common shares of the Registrant quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol of “CAI”, for each quarter during this period were as follows:

 

     2004

   2003

Quarter


   High

   Low

   High

   Low

1st

   $ 48.95    $ 33.46    $ 39.84    $ 27.45

4th

   $ 48.45    $ 36.09    $ 35.50    $ 30.00

 

The Registrant has never paid a cash dividend. The present policy of the Registrant is to retain earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of its business. The Registrant does not intend to pay any cash dividends at this time.

 

At August 31, 2004, the number of stockholders of record of the Registrant’s Common Stock was approximately 496. The number of stockholders of record is not representative of the number of beneficial stockholders due to the fact that many shares are held by depositories, brokers, or nominees.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

 

The selected financial data set forth below is derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000. This information should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included as Item 8 in this Form 10-K.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis is provided to enhance the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes. All years refer to the Company’s fiscal year which ends on June 30.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Application of these policies is particularly important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. We consider the following accounting policies to be our critical accounting policies:

 

Revenue Recognition/Contract Accounting

 

The Company generates its revenue from three different types of contractual arrangements: cost-plus-fee contracts; time and materials contracts; and fixed price contracts. Revenue on cost-plus-fee contracts is recognized to the extent of allowable costs incurred plus an estimate of the applicable fees earned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost-plus-fee contracts to be earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract. For cost-plus-fee contracts that include performance based fee incentives, the Company recognizes the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as the Company’s prior award experience and communications with the customer regarding performance. Revenue on time-and-material contracts is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus allowable expenses incurred.

 

The Company has four basic categories of fixed price contracts; fixed unit price; fixed price-level of effort; fixed price-completion; and fixed price-license. Revenue on fixed unit price contracts, where specified units of output under service arrangements are delivered, is recognized as units are delivered based on the specified price per unit. Revenue on fixed unit price maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the length of the service period. Revenue for fixed price level of effort contracts is recognized based upon the number of units of labor actually delivered multiplied by the agreed rate for each unit of labor.

 

A significant portion of the Company’s fixed price-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex, client systems. For these contracts that are within the scope of Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”), revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method using costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs. For fixed price-completion contracts that are not within the scope of SOP 81-1, revenue is generally recognized ratably over the service period. The Company’s fixed price license agreements and related services contracts are primarily executed in its international operations. As the agreements to deliver software require significant production, modification or customization of software, revenue is recognized using the contract accounting guidance of SOP 81-1. For agreements to deliver data under license and related services, revenue is recognized as the data is delivered and services are performed. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period such losses are determined.

 

Contract accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenues and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Contract costs include material, labor and subcontracting costs, as well as an allocation of allowable indirect costs. Assumptions have to be made regarding the length of time to complete the contract because costs also include expected increases in wages and prices for materials. For contract change orders, claims or similar items, we apply judgment in estimating the amounts and assessing the potential for realization. These amounts are only included in contract value when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Incentives or penalties related to performance on contracts are considered in estimating sales and profit rates, and are recorded when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance. Estimates of award fees for certain contracts are also a significant factor in estimating revenue and profit rates based on actual and anticipated awards.

 

13


Products and services provided under long-term development and production contracts make up a large portion of our business, and therefore the amounts we record in our financial statements using contract accounting methods and cost accounting standards are material. For our federal contracts, we follow U.S. Government procurement and accounting standards in assessing the allowability and the allocability of costs to contracts. Because of the significance of the judgments and estimation processes, it is likely that materially different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. We closely monitor compliance with and the consistent application of our critical accounting policies related to contract accounting. Business operations personnel conduct thorough periodic contract status and performance reviews. When adjustments in estimated contract revenues or costs are required, any changes from prior estimates are generally included in earnings in the current period. Also, regular and recurring evaluations of contract cost, scheduling and technical matters are performed by management personnel who are independent from the business operations personnel performing work under the contract. Costs incurred and allocated to contracts with the U.S. Government are scrutinized for compliance with regulatory standards by our personnel, and are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”).

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company currently accounts for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as amended by FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation. Alternative guidance exists under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires companies to determine the fair value of options at the time of grant and to recognize compensation expense over the service period. If the Company’s employee stock-based compensation transactions had been accounted for based on their fair value, as determined under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the pro-forma earnings would have been as follows:

The fair value of each employee stock-based compensation transaction is estimated on the grant date using a fair-value option pricing model. These pro forma results may not be indicative of the future results for the full fiscal year due to potential grants vesting and other factors.

 

14


Investments in Marketable Securities

 

The Company invests in marketable securities, which are currently classified as available-for-sale or trading using the accounting guidance in SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. As a result of this classification, unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value of the available-for-sale investments are recorded as a separate component within the Stockholders’ Equity section of the balance sheet. If these securities were instead determined to be trading securities, any unrealized gains or losses would be reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and therefore, would impact the net earnings currently being reported. To date, we do not believe that a different classification would have had a significant impact on our financial results.

 

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

 

Management establishes bad debt reserves against certain billed receivables based upon the latest information available to determine whether invoices are ultimately collectable. Whenever judgment is involved in determining the estimates, there is the potential for bad debt expense and the fair value of accounts receivable to be misstated. Given that we primarily serve the U.S. Government and that, in our opinion, we have sufficient controls in place to properly recognize revenue, we believe the risk to be relatively low that a misstatement of accounts receivable would have a material impact on our financial results.

For the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company’s total revenue increased by $302.6 million, or 35.9%. The increase in revenue resulted from continuing growth in the Company’s systems integration, engineering services and knowledge management offerings of its domestic operations and the successful integration of four acquisitions that broadened the Company’s portfolio of solutions offerings. This growth is a result of the Company’s strategic focus on national security, the global war on terrorism, and the reshaping of the way government agencies communicate, use and disseminate information, deliver services, and conduct business. During fiscal year 2003 (“FY2003”) total revenue increased $161.2 million, or 23.6%. The revenue growth was driven primarily by increased demand from federal government customers along with the Company’s on-going acquisition efforts.

Revenue generated from the date a business is acquired through the first anniversary of that date is considered acquired revenue growth. The Company’s acquisitions accounted for $176.2 million and $72.7 million of the revenue growth for FY2004 and FY2003, respectively, as follows:

Revenue from DoD increased 43.9%, or $235.7 million, for FY2004 as compared to FY2003. The aforementioned acquisitions accounted for approximately 61.7% of this growth, contributing $145.5 million. The Company also continued to experience increased demand for mission-critical support from customers such as strategic and tactical organizations in the military intelligence community, the U.S Army Intelligence and Security Command, the U.S. Army’s Communications Electronics Command (“CECOM”),and the U.S. Navy’s Space and Warfare Command. DoD revenue growth in FY2003 of 23.6%, or $102.3 million, was driven primarily by high demand from customers such as the Defense Information Systems Agency (“DISA”), CECOM, and the intelligence community as well as the aforementioned acquisitions.

 

Revenue from Federal Civilian Agencies increased $60.2 million, or 24.9%, for FY2004 as compared to FY2003. Acquisitions accounted for approximately 45.9% of this growth, contributing $27.6 million in revenue. Approximately 35.9% of Federal Civilian Agency revenue for the year was derived from DoJ, for whom the Company provides litigation support services and maintains a debt collection system. Revenue from DoJ was $108.3 million, $94.4 million and $89.8 million in FY2004, FY2003 and FY2002, respectively. In FY2004, DoJ accounted for 23.0%, or $13.9 million, of the revenue growth within Federal Civilian Agencies. The Company also experienced increased revenue growth of 31.1%, or $18.7 million, from Federal Civilian Agencies other than DoJ in FY2004 as compared to FY2003. The increase was primarily due to the higher volumes of work from customers such as the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), the Social Security Administration and other federal civilian agencies. In FY2003 as compared to FY2002, revenue from Federal Civilian Agencies increased 31.0% or $57.1 million. This increase was primarily due to higher volumes of work from customers such as the VA, the U.S. Customs Services, and the national intelligence community, along with the aforementioned acquisitions.

 

Commercial revenue increased 8.3%, or $4.3 million, in FY2004 as compared to FY2003. Commercial revenue is derived from both international and domestic operations. In FY2004, international operations accounted for 83.2%, or $46.3 million, of the total commercial revenue while the domestic operations accounted for 16.8%, or $9.4 million. The increase in commercial revenue was primarily from the international operations within the United Kingdom. The UK business had increased sales on higher margin software and data products and also showed improvements in its commercial IT service marketplace. In FY2003, international operations accounted for 78.5%, or $40.4 million, of the total commercial revenue while the domestic operations accounted for 21.5%, or $11.0 million. Commercial revenue increased by 4.1%, or $2.0 million, in FY2003 as compared to FY2002. The entire growth of Commercial revenue came from the domestic operations of the Company and was due primarily to the Condor acquisition. Revenue produced by international operations remained relatively flat in FY2003 due to the continued weakness in the telecom and commercial IT services industries within the UK.

Revenue from State and Local Governments increased by 17.8%, or $2.5 million, to $16.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period a year ago. Almost half of this increase can be attributed to the acquisitions of Acton Burnell and CMS. In FY2003 as compared to FY2002, revenue from State and Local Governments decreased slightly by 2.0%, or $0.3 million. Revenue from State and Local Governments represented 1.4% and 1.7% of the Company’s total revenue in FY2004 and FY2003, respectively. The Company’s continued and expanded focus on DoD and federal civilian agency opportunities has resulted in a reduced emphasis on State and Local Governments business.

 

Income from Operations. Operating income increased 48.7%, or $34.3 million, in FY2004 as compared to the same period a year ago. Operating margin in FY2004 improved to 9.1% from 8.3% a year earlier. The Company’s growth in operating margin was driven primarily by operational cost efficiencies, cost synergies associated with acquisitions and a favorable mix of business. The acquisitions in FY2004 described in Item I were all immediately accretive to operating income. In FY2003 as compared to FY2002 operating income increased 32.6%, or $17.3 million. The Company’s growth in operating margin was accomplished by contract mix with more profitable fixed price and time and materials work. Internal growth was complimented by the Company’s acquisition activity during the year.

 

During the last three years, as a percentage of revenue, total direct costs were 61.8%, 61.4% and 61.8%, respectively. Direct costs include direct labor and “other direct costs” such as equipment purchases, subcontract costs and travel expenses. Other direct costs are common in our industry, typically are incurred in response to specific client tasks and vary from period to period. The largest component of direct costs, direct labor, was $346.2 million, $251.6 million and $210.2 million in FY2004, FY2003 and FY2002, respectively. The increase in direct labor during the last three fiscal years is attributable to the internal growth in the Company’s federal government business both in the DoD and federal civilian agencies as well as from the previously mentioned acquisition activities. Other direct costs were $362.2 million, $266.3 million and $211.3 million in FY2004, FY2003, and FY2002, respectively. The year over year increase was primarily the result of increased volume of tasking across system integration, knowledge management and engineering services including the aforementioned acquisitions.

 

Indirect costs and selling expenses include fringe benefits, marketing and bid and proposal costs, indirect labor and other discretionary costs. Many of these expenses are highly variable and have grown in dollar volume generally in proportion to the growth in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, indirect costs and selling expenses were 27.4%, 28.8% and 28.6% for FY2004, FY2003 and FY2002, respectively. The decrease in percentage from FY2003 to FY2004 is primarily from cost synergies associated with acquisitions.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased 51.0%, or $6.4 million, in FY2004 as compared to FY2003. Approximately 83.2%, or $5.4 million, of the increase was attributable to the intangible amortization of assets acquired in recent acquisitions, primarily that of the May 1, 2004 acquisition of the D&IG and the May 15, 2003 acquisition of PTG. The balance of the increase of approximately $1.0 million was primarily for new capital expenditures and building improvements to support on-going business. In FY2003, as compared to FY2002, depreciation and amortization increased by 3.9%, or $0.5 million. This increase was attributable to both assets acquired in acquisitions, and new capital expenditures to support on-going business offset by lower software amortization.

 

For FY2004, the Company incurred interest expense of $1.8 million, compared to net interest income of $1.4 million in FY2003. The majority of this increase is for interest costs relating to the Company’s borrowings of $422.6 million under its new secured credit facility which was used to finance the purchase of the D&IG. The Company will be required to repay a minimum of $3.5 million annually under the terms of its credit facility. In FY2003, the Company had interest income of $1.4 million, compared to interest expense of $1.6 million in FY2002. This increase in income was attributable to the Company having cash and equivalents and short-term marketable securities averaging in excess of $100 million during FY2003. The cash was generated primarily from both the Company’s secondary offering in March 2003 and from operations. Prior to this offering, the Company funded its operations and acquisitions with borrowings from its line of credit. The cash and equivalents and short-term marketable securities generated over $2.0 million in interest income in FY2003.

 

The effective income tax rates in FY2004, FY2003 and FY2002, were 38.1%, 37.7% and 38.0%, respectively, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state and local income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses.

 

Quarterly Financial Information

 

Quarterly financial data for the two most recent fiscal years is provided in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report. See Note 17. Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited) in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effects of Inflation

 

Approximately 21% of the Company’s business is conducted under cost-reimbursable contracts which automatically adjust revenue to cover costs increased by inflation. Approximately 62% of the business is under time-and-materials contracts where labor rates are often fixed for several years. The Company generally has been able to price these contracts in a manner that accommodates the rates of inflation experienced in recent years. The remaining portion of the Company’s business is fixed-price and may span multiple years. However, these contracts are priced to account for likely inflation from period to period to mitigate the risk of our business being adversely affected by inflation.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, the Company’s positive cash flow from operations and its available credit facilities have provided adequate liquidity and working capital to fully fund the Company’s operational needs. From March 2002 through the May 2004 acquisition of D&IG, the proceeds from the Company’s March 2002 offering of approximately 4.9 million shares of common stock were the Company’s principal source of liquidity and capital to fund business acquisitions. In order to fund the acquisition of the D&IG, which was purchased for $415 million in cash plus transaction costs of approximately $5.7 million, the Company executed a new $550 million credit facility, including both a revolving credit facility and institutional term loan. Total borrowings under the new credit facility were $422.6 million of which $411.3 million was outstanding at June 30, 2004. The new five-year secured revolving credit agreement permits continuously renewable borrowings of up to $200 million with annual sublimits on amounts borrowed for acquisitions. The new agreement permits similar borrowings options and interest rates as those offered by the prior agreement. The Company pays a fee on the unused portion of the facility. The institutional term loan is a 7 year secured facility in the amount of $350 million. The principal is to be prepaid 1% in years one through six with the remainder due on the maturity date. Interest rates are based on LIBOR or the higher of the prime rate or Fed funds rate plus applicable margins. Margin and unused fee rates are determined quarterly based on the leverage ratio. The Company is required to operate within certain limits on leverage, net worth and fixed-charge coverage ratios. The total costs associated with securing the new credit facility were approximately $8.2 million, which are being amortized over the life of the credit facility.

 

Cash and equivalents and marketable securities were $63.5 million and $89.0 million as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Working capital was $208.2 million and $182.6 million as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company’s operating cash flow improved by $62.9 million during the fourth quarter of FY2004, to $75.8 million for FY2004 as compared to $75.9 million for the full year ended June 30, 2003. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) increased to 88 days in FY2004 as compared to 79 days at the end of FY2003. This includes 12 days of DSO relating to the acquisition of the D&IG. Cash flow from operations also was affected by increased DSO in the first half of FY2004 but improved significantly in the last six months of FY2004, when excluding the impact of acquisitions.

 

The Company used $496.7 million and $113.2 million of cash in investing activities for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The cash used in both years was primarily in support of the Company’s on-going business acquisition activities.

 

The Company generated cash from financing activities of $408.7 million during FY2004, as compared to using cash of $21.5 million over the same period a year ago. During FY2004, cash of $403.1 million was provided by the Company’s new credit facility net of financing costs and repayments. In FY2003, the Company paid down its line-of-credit by $25.0 million. In both years the Company generated additional cash primarily from the proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee stock transactions.

 

The Company entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) on March 1, 2004, which it has extended through October 2004, to acquire all of the outstanding stock of an information technology services company that provides work for various agencies of the Federal Government, primarily within the Department of Defense. The purchase price is expected to be approximately $30 million. The Company is currently evaluating whether or not it will move forward with the acquisition. If it chooses to move forward, the Company will fund the acquisition with proceeds under its new credit facility described above.

 

19


The Company also maintains a 500,000 pounds sterling unsecured line of credit in London, England which expires in December 2004. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had no borrowings under this line of credit.

 

The Company believes that the combination of internally generated funds, available bank borrowings and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources for the foreseeable future.

Forward Looking Statements

 

There are statements made herein which may not address historical facts and, therefore, could be interpreted to be forward looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

We depend on contracts with the federal government for a substantial majority of our revenue, and our business could be seriously harmed if the government ceased doing business with us.

 

We derived 93.7% of our total revenue in FY2004 and 92.2% of our total revenue in FY2003 from federal government contracts, either as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. We derived 67.4% of our total revenue in FY2004 and 63.6% of our total revenue in FY2003 from contracts with agencies of the DoD. We expect that federal government contracts will continue to be the primary source of our revenue for the foreseeable future. If we were suspended or debarred from contracting with the federal government generally, with the General Services Administration, or any significant agency in the intelligence community or the DoD, or if our reputation or relationship with government agencies were to be impaired, or if the government otherwise ceased doing business with us or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our business could be adversely affected by the outcome of the various investigations/proceedings regarding our interrogation services work in Iraq.

 

Recent press accounts have reported that an internal Government report, the Taguba report, contains information regarding the

 

20


alleged mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners. The Taguba report alleges that one CACI employee was involved with the alleged mistreatment. Another government report, the Jones Fay Report, alleges that three CACI employees, including the one identified in the Taguba Report, acted improperly in performing their assigned duties in Iraq. The Jones Fay Report recommended that the information in the report regarding each of the three CACI interrogators be forwarded to the Army General Counsel for determination of whether each of them should be referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution, as well as forwarded to the Contracting Officer for appropriate contractual action. The Company’s preliminary investigation into these matters already considered some of the allegations regarding the employees cited in the Jones Fay Report, two of whom are no longer employed by CACI. That investigation, however, could not confirm the allegation of abuse contained in the Jones Fay Report concerning one of the two former employees and reached a different conclusion than the Jones Fay Report regarding the allegation that the other former employee placed a detainee in a stress position and permitted a photograph to be taken. The third CACI person named in the Jones Fay report, a current employee whose name was made public due to his implication in the illegally leaked Taguba Report, has been under careful consideration and review by the Company since May 2004. Despite attempts by counsel to obtain information from the government, to date, the Company has not received any specific information confirming the allegations of wrongdoing made in the Taguba report regarding the subject employee. In fact, our investigation uncovered glowing testimonials to the high quality of his work from his supervisors and colleagues of his good services were noted and included recommendations from his superiors as well as colleagues. The Jones Fay Report contained other allegations not previously communicated to the Company, which the Company’s investigation is now pursuing. The Company’s preliminary investigation thus far has not produced information that supports these new Jones Fay Report findings. CACI has and will continue to cooperate fully with the government regarding investigations arising out of the interrogation services provided in Iraq.

 

In addition, CACI received a letter from the General Services Administration Suspension and Debarment Official expressing concern that the Company may have misused a GSA schedule in connection with the contract to provide interrogation and affording CACI an opportunity to provide information and argument as to why it should remain eligible for further U.S. Government contracts. CACI provided information and presented argument to GSA. After review, GSA sent the Company a letter stating that it was not necessary to take any formal action to protect the interests of the Government (i.e. GSA would not suspend or debar the Company) based on these matters. In the letter, the Suspension and Debarment Official informed us that he had provided the information to the GSA’s attorneys for review and would let us know if additional information was needed. GSA has not requested any further information.

 

CACI has never condoned, and will never condone, tolerate or endorse any illegal or inappropriate behavior on the part of any employee when engaged in CACI business – but we will stand firmly by our employees and their right to be presumed innocent until there is verifiable information confirming that they have been involved in misconduct. If and when the Company receives verifiable information indicating any inappropriate or illegal behavior on the part of any employee, the Company will take swift and appropriate action to redress the matter.

 

The results of the investigations and proceedings regarding our interrogation services in Iraq could affect our relationships with our government clients and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our business could be adversely affected by changes in budgetary priorities of the federal government.

 

Because we derive a substantial majority of our revenue from contracts with the federal government, we believe that the success and development of our business will continue to depend on our successful participation in federal government contract programs. Changes in federal government budgetary priorities could directly affect our financial performance. A significant decline in government expenditures, or a shift of expenditures away from programs that we support or a change in federal government contracting policies, could cause federal government agencies to reduce their purchases under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts at any time without penalty or not to exercise options to renew contracts. Any such actions could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Among the factors that could seriously affect our federal government contracting business are:

 

  changes in federal government programs or requirements;

 

  budgetary priorities limiting or delaying federal government spending generally, or specific departments or agencies in particular, and changes in fiscal policies or available funding, including potential governmental shutdowns (such as that which occurred during the government’s 1996 fiscal year);

 

  an increase in set-asides for small businesses that could result in our inability to compete directly for prime contracts; and

 

  curtailment of the federal government’s use of technology solutions firms.

 

21


Our federal government contracts may be terminated by the government at any time and may contain other provisions permitting the government not to continue with contract performance, and, if lost contracts are not replaced, our operating results may differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We derive substantially all of our revenue from federal government contracts that typically span one or more base years and one or more option years. The option periods typically cover more than half of the contract’s potential duration. Federal government agencies generally have the right not to exercise these option periods. In addition, our contracts typically also contain provisions permitting a government client to terminate the contract for its convenience. A decision not to exercise option periods or to terminate contracts could result in significant revenue shortfalls from those anticipated.

 

Federal government contracts contain numerous provisions that are unfavorable to us.

 

Federal government contracts contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that give the government rights and remedies, some of which are not typically found in commercial contracts, including allowing the government to:

 

  cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds for contract performance for any subsequent year become unavailable;

 

  claim rights in systems and software developed by us;

 

  suspend or debar us from doing business with the federal government or with a governmental agency, impose fines and penalties and subject us to criminal prosecution; and

 

  control or prohibit the export of our data and technology.

 

If the government terminates a contract for convenience, we may recover only our incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If the government terminates a contract for default, we may be unable to recover even those amounts, and instead may be liable for excess costs incurred by the government in procuring undelivered items and services from another source. Depending on the value of a contract, such termination could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. As is common with government contractors, we have experienced and continue to experience occasional performance issues under certain of our contracts. Certain contracts also contain organizational conflict of interest clauses that limit our ability to compete for certain related follow-on contracts. For example, when we work on the design of a particular system, we may be precluded from competing for the contract to install that system. Depending upon the value of the matters affected a performance problem or organizational conflict of interest issue that precludes our participation in a program or contract could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

If we fail to establish and maintain important relationships with government entities and agencies, our ability to successfully bid for new business may be adversely affected.

 

To facilitate our ability to prepare bids for new business, we rely in part on establishing and maintaining relationships with officials of various government entities and agencies. These relationships enable us to provide informal input and advice to government entities and agencies prior to the development of a formal bid. We may be unable to successfully maintain our relationships with government entities and agencies, and any failure to do so may adversely affect our ability to bid successfully for new business and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We derive significant revenue from contracts and task orders awarded through a competitive bidding process. If we are unable to consistently win new awards over any extended period, our business and prospects will be adversely affected.

 

Substantially all of our contracts and task orders with the federal government are awarded through a competitive bidding process. We expect that much of the business that we will seek in the foreseeable future will continue to be awarded through competitive bidding. Recently, members of Congress and administration officials have proposed changes to the procurement process intended to increase competition among suppliers to the federal government. Budgetary pressures and reforms in the procurement process have caused many federal government clients to increasingly purchase goods and services through ID/IQ contracts, or GSA contracts, and other GWAC contracts. These contracts, some of which are awarded to multiple contractors, have increased competition and pricing pressure, requiring that we make sustained post-award efforts to realize revenue under each such contract. Moreover, even if we are highly qualified to work on a particular new contract, we might not be awarded business because of the federal government’s policy and practice of maintaining a diverse contracting base.

 

22


This competitive bidding process presents a number of risks, including the following:

 

  we bid on programs before the completion of their design, which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns;

 

  we expend substantial cost and managerial time and effort to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that we may not win;

 

  we may be unable to estimate accurately the resources and cost structure that will be required to service any contract we win; and

 

  we may encounter expense and delay if our competitors protest or challenge awards of contracts to us in competitive bidding, and any such protest or challenge could result in the resubmission of bids on modified specifications, or in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract.

 

If we are unable to win particular contracts, we may be foreclosed from providing to clients services that are purchased under those contracts for a number of years. If we are unable to consistently win new contract awards over any extended period, our business and prospects will be adversely affected and that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In addition, upon the expiration of a contract, if the client requires further services of the type provided by the contract, there is frequently a competitive rebidding process. There can be no assurance that we will win any particular bid, or that we will be able to replace business lost upon expiration or completion of a contract, and the termination or non-renewal of any of our significant contracts could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our business may suffer if we or our employees are unable to obtain the security clearances or other qualifications we and they need to perform services for our clients.

 

Many of our federal government contracts require us to have security clearances and employ personnel with specified levels of education, work experience and security clearances. Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If we or our employees lose or are unable to obtain necessary security clearances, we may not be able to win new business and our existing clients could terminate their contracts with us or decide not to renew them. To the extent we cannot obtain or maintain the required security clearances for our employees working on a particular contract, we may not derive the revenue anticipated from the contract, which could cause our results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We must comply with a variety of laws and regulations, and our failure to comply could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We must observe laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of federal government contracts which affect how we do business with our clients and may impose added costs on our business. For example, the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the industrial security regulations of the DoD and related laws include provisions that:

 

  allow our federal government clients to terminate or not renew our contracts if we come under foreign ownership, control or influence;

 

  require us to disclose and certify cost and pricing data in connection with contract negotiations; and

 

  require us to prevent unauthorized access to classified information.

 

Our failure to comply with these or other laws and regulations could result in contract termination, loss of security clearances, suspension or debarment from contracting with the federal government, civil fines and damages and criminal prosecution and penalties, any of which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

The federal government may reform its procurement or other practices in a manner adverse to us.

 

The federal government may reform its procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and regulations, such as cost accounting standards. It could also adopt new contracting methods relating to GSA contracts or other government-wide contracts, or adopt new socio-economic requirements. These changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or win re-competed contracts. Any new contracting methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us to satisfy, and, as a result could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

23


Restrictions on or other changes to the federal government’s use of service contracts may harm our operating results.

 

We derive a significant amount of revenue from service contracts with the federal government. The government may face restrictions from new legislation, regulations or government union pressures, on the nature and amount of services the government may obtain from private contractors. Any reduction in the government’s use of private contractors to provide federal services could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our contracts and administrative processes and systems are subject to audits and cost adjustments by the federal government, which could reduce our revenue, disrupt our business or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Federal government agencies, including the DCAA, routinely audit and investigate government contracts and government contractors’ administrative processes and systems. These agencies review our performance on contracts, pricing practices, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. They also review our compliance with government regulations and policies and the adequacy of our internal control systems and policies, including our purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, and any such costs already reimbursed must be refunded. Moreover, if any of the administrative processes and systems is found not to comply with requirements, we may be subjected to increased government scrutiny and approval that could delay or otherwise adversely affect our ability to compete for or perform contracts. Therefore, an unfavorable outcome to an audit by the DCAA or another government agency could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. If a government investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeitures of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with the federal government. In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us. Each of these results could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Failure to maintain strong relationships with other contractors could result in a decline in our revenue.

 

We derive substantial revenue from contracts in which we act as a subcontractor or from teaming arrangements in which we and other contractors bid on particular contracts or programs. As a subcontractor or teammate, we often lack control over fulfillment of a contract, and poor performance on the contract could tarnish our reputation, even when we perform as required. We expect to continue to depend on relationships with other contractors for a portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. Moreover, our revenue and operating results could differ materially from those anticipated if any prime contractor or teammate chose to offer directly to the client services of the type that we provide or if they team with other companies to provide those services.

 

We may not receive the full amounts authorized under the contracts included in our backlog, which could reduce our revenue in future periods below the levels anticipated.

 

Our backlog consists of funded backlog, which is based on amounts actually obligated by a client for payment of goods and services, and unfunded backlog, which is based upon management’s estimate of the future potential of our existing contracts and task orders, including options, to generate revenue. Our backlog may not result in actual revenue in any particular period, or at all, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

The maximum contract value specified under a government contract or task order awarded to us is not necessarily indicative of the revenues that we will realize under that contract. For example, we derive a substantial portion of our revenue from government contracts in which we are not the sole provider, meaning that the government could turn to other companies to fulfill the contract. We also derive revenues from ID/IQ contracts, which do not require the government to purchase a material amount of goods or services under the contract. Action by the government to obtain support from other contractors or failure of the government to order the quantity of work anticipated could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

24


Without additional Congressional appropriations, some of the contracts included in our backlog will remain unfunded, which could significantly harm our prospects.

 

Although many of our federal government contracts require performance over a period of years, Congress often appropriates funds for these contracts for only one year at a time. As a result, our contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term, and all or some of the work intended to be performed under the contracts will remain unfunded pending subsequent Congressional appropriations and the obligation of additional funds to the contract by the procuring agency. Nevertheless, we estimate our share of the contract values, including values based on the assumed exercise of options relating to these contracts, in calculating the amount of our backlog. Because we may not receive the full amount we expect under a contract, our estimate of our backlog may be inaccurate and we may post results that differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Employee misconduct, including security breaches, could result in the loss of clients and our suspension or disbarment from contracting with the federal government.

 

We may be unable to prevent our employees from engaging in misconduct, fraud or other improper activities that could adversely affect our business and reputation. Misconduct could include the failure to comply with federal government procurement regulations, regulations regarding the protection of classified information and legislation regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in government contracts. Many of the systems we develop involve managing and protecting information involved in national security and other sensitive government functions. A security breach in one of these systems could prevent us from having access to such critically sensitive systems. Other examples of employee misconduct could include time card fraud and violations of the Anti-Kickback Act. The precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective, and we could face unknown risks or losses. As a result of employee misconduct, we could face fines and penalties, loss of security clearance and suspension or debarment from contracting with the federal government, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our failure to attract and retain qualified employees, including our senior management team, could adversely affect our business.

 

Our continued success depends to a substantial degree on our ability to recruit and retain the technically skilled personnel we need to serve our clients effectively. Our business involves the development of tailored solutions for our clients, a process that relies heavily upon the expertise and services of our employees. Accordingly, our employees are our most valuable resource. Competition for skilled personnel in the information technology services industry is intense, and technology service companies often experience high attrition among their skilled employees. There is a shortage of people capable of filling these positions and they are likely to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future. Recruiting and training these personnel require substantial resources. Our failure to attract and retain technical personnel could increase our costs of performing our contractual obligations, reduce our ability to efficiently satisfy our clients’ needs, limit our ability to win new business and cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

In addition to attracting and retaining qualified technical personnel, we believe that our success will depend on the continued employment of our senior management team and its ability to generate new business and execute projects successfully. Our senior management team is very important to our business because personal reputations and individual business relationships are a critical element of obtaining and maintaining client engagements in our industry, particularly with agencies performing classified operations. The loss of any of our senior executives could cause us to lose client relationships or new business opportunities, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our markets are highly competitive, and many of the companies we compete against have substantially greater resources.

 

The markets in which we operate include a large number of participants and are highly competitive. Many of our competitors may compete more effectively than we can because they are larger, better financed and better known companies than we are. In order to stay competitive in our industry, we must also keep pace with changing technologies and client preferences. If we are unable to differentiate our services from those of our competitors, our revenue may decline. In addition, our competitors have established relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to address client needs. As a result, new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and compete more effectively than we can. There is also a significant industry trend towards consolidation, which may result in the emergence of companies who are better able to compete against us. The results of these competitive pressures could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

25


Our quarterly revenue and operating results could be volatile.

 

Our quarterly revenue and operating results may fluctuate significantly and unpredictably in the future. In particular, if the federal government does not adopt, or delays adoption of, a budget for each fiscal year beginning on October 1, or fails to pass a continuing resolution, federal agencies may be forced to suspend our contracts and delay the award of new and follow-on contracts and orders due to a lack of funding. Further, the rate at which the federal government procures technology may be negatively affected following changes in presidential administrations and senior government officials.

 

Therefore, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance.

 

Our quarterly operating results may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which in turn may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Our quarterly operating results may also fluctuate due to impairment of goodwill charges required by recent changes in accounting standards.

 

We may lose money or generate less than anticipated profits if we do not accurately estimate the cost of an engagement which is conducted on a fixed-price basis.

 

We perform a portion of our engagements on a fixed-price basis. We derived 17.0% of our total revenue in FY2004 and 18.7% of our total revenue in FY2003 from fixed-price contracts. Fixed price contracts require us to price our contracts by predicting our expenditures in advance. In addition, some of our engagements obligate us to provide ongoing maintenance and other supporting or ancillary services on a fixed-price basis or with limitations on our ability to increase prices. Many of our engagements are also on a time-and-material basis. While these types of contracts are generally subject to less uncertainty than fixed-price contracts, to the extent that our actual labor costs are higher than the contract rates, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

When making proposals for engagements on a fixed-price basis, we rely on our estimates of costs and timing for completing the projects. These estimates reflect our best judgment regarding our capability to complete the task efficiently. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of fixed-price contracts, including delays caused by factors outside our control, could make these contracts less profitable or unprofitable. From time to time, unexpected costs and unanticipated delays have caused us to incur losses on fixed-price contracts, primarily in connection with state government clients. On rare occasions, these losses have been significant. In the event that we encounter such problems in the future, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our earnings and margins may vary based on the mix of our contracts and programs.

 

At June 30, 2004, our backlog included both cost reimbursement and fixed-price contracts. Cost reimbursement contracts generally have lower profit margins than fixed-price contracts. Our earnings and margins may vary materially depending on the types of long-term government contracts undertaken, the costs incurred in their performance, the achievement of other performance objectives and the stage of performance at which the right to receive fees, particularly under incentive and award fee contracts, is finally determined.

 

Systems failures may disrupt our business and have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Any systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, a third party service provider, unauthorized intruders and hackers, computer viruses, natural disasters, power shortages or terrorist attacks, could cause loss of data, interruptions or delays in our business or that of our clients. In addition, the failure or disruption of our mail, communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise harm our business. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption and, as a result, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

The systems and networks that we maintain for our clients, although highly redundant in their design, could also fail. If a system or network we maintain were to fail or experience service interruptions, we might experience loss of revenue or face claims for damages or contract termination. Our errors and omissions liability insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all the damages that we might incur and, as a result, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

26


We may have difficulty identifying and executing acquisitions on favorable terms and therefore may grow at slower than anticipated rates.

 

One of our key growth strategies has been to selectively pursue acquisitions. Through acquisitions, we have expanded our base of federal government clients, increased the range of solutions we offer to our clients and deepened our penetration of existing clients. We may encounter difficulty identifying and executing suitable acquisitions. Without acquisitions, we may not grow as rapidly as the market expects, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. We may encounter other risks in executing our acquisition strategy, including:

 

  increased competition for acquisitions may increase the costs of our acquisitions;

 

  our failure to discover material liabilities during the due diligence process, including the failure of prior owners of any acquired businesses or their employees to comply with applicable laws or regulations, such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation and health, safety and environmental laws, or their failure to fulfill their contractual obligations to the federal government or other customers; and

 

  acquisition financing may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.

 

Each of these types of risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We may have difficulty integrating the operations of any companies we acquire, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

The success of our acquisition strategy will depend upon our ability to continue to successfully integrate any businesses we may acquire in the future. The integration of these businesses into our operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties, absorb significant management attention and require significant financial resources that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business. These integration difficulties include the integration of personnel with disparate business backgrounds, the transition to new information systems, coordination of geographically dispersed organizations, loss of key employees of acquired companies, and reconciliation of different corporate cultures. For these or other reasons, we may be unable to retain key clients of acquired companies. Moreover, any acquired business may fail to generate the revenue or net income we expected or produce the efficiencies or cost-savings that we anticipated. Any of these outcomes could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

If our subcontractors fail to perform their contractual obligations, our performance as a prime contractor and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our performance of government contracts may involve the issuance of subcontracts to other companies upon which we rely to perform all or a portion of the work we are obligated to deliver to our clients. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors to satisfactorily deliver on a timely basis the agreed-upon supplies and/or perform the agreed-upon services may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations as a prime contractor.

 

A subcontractor’s performance deficiency could result in the government terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability for excess costs of reprocurement by the government and have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and task orders.

 

Depending upon the level of problem experienced, such problems with subcontractors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our business may be adversely affected if we cannot collect our receivables.

 

We depend on the collection of our receivables to generate cash flow, provide working capital, pay debt and continue our business operations. If the federal government, any of our other clients or any prime contractor for whom we are a subcontractor fails to pay or delays the payment of their outstanding invoices for any reason, our business and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. The government may fail to pay outstanding invoices for a number of reasons, including lack of appropriated funds or lack of an approved budget.

 

Some prime contractors for whom we are a subcontractor have significantly less financial resources than we do, which may increase the risk that we may not be paid in full or payment may be delayed.

 

27


If we experience difficulties collecting receivables it could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our global networks and other business commitments require our employees to travel to potentially dangerous places, which may result in injury or other negative impact to key employees.

 

Our domestic business involves the maintenance of global networks and provision of other services that require us to dispatch employees to various countries around the world. These countries may be experiencing political upheaval or unrest, and in some cases war or terrorism. Certain senior level employees or executives are, on occasion, part of the teams deployed to provide services in these countries. As a result, it is possible that certain of our employees or executives will suffer injury or bodily harm, or be killed or kidnapped in the course of these deployments. It is also possible that we will encounter unexpected costs in connection with the repatriation of our employees or executives for reasons beyond our control. These problems could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Our failure to adequately protect our confidential information and proprietary rights may harm our competitive position.

 

Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary information and other intellectual property. Although our employees are subject to confidentiality obligations, this protection may be inadequate to deter misappropriation of our confidential information. In addition, we may be unable to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property in order to take appropriate steps to enforce our rights. If we are unable to prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our copyrights, trademarks or other proprietary information, our competitive position could be harmed and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

 

We face additional risks which could harm our business because we have international operations.

 

Our international operations consist of our U.K.-based business which conducts the majority of its business in the United Kingdom. Our international operations comprised approximately 4.0% of our revenue in FY2004 and 4.8% of our revenue in FY2003. Our U.K.-based operations are subject to risks associated with operating in a foreign country. These risks include fluctuations in the value of the British pound, longer payment cycles, changes in foreign tax laws and regulations and unexpected legislative, regulatory, economic or political changes.

 

Our U.K.-based operations are also subject to risks associated with operating a commercial, as opposed to a government contracting, business, including the effects of general economic conditions in the United Kingdom on the telecommunications, computer software and computer services sectors and the impact of more concentrated and intense competition for the reduced volume of work available in those sectors. Our revenue from this business grew during FY2004 over revenue from such business in FY2003 largely as a result of the slight recovery of the U.K. economy and the strengthening of the British pound. While we are marketing our services to clients in industries that are new to us, our efforts in that regard may be unsuccessful. Other factors that may adversely affect our international operations are a continued decline in the economy of the United Kingdom, difficulties relating to managing our business internationally, and multiple tax structures. Any of these factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

As of June 30, 2004, we had investments in marketable securities valued at $0.5 million. All of these securities consisted of highly liquid investments that had remaining maturities of less than 365 days at June 30, 2004. These investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase. Hypothetically, a 10% increase or decrease in market interest rates from the June 30, 2004 rates would not cause a material change in the value of these short-term investments. We have the ability to hold these investments until maturity, and therefore we do not expect the value of these investments to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates. Declines in interest rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income. As of June 30, 2004, we did not own any significant equity investments. Therefore, we did not have any material equity price risk.

 

The interest rates on both the institutional term loan and the revolving credit facility portion of the Company’s Credit Facility are affected by changes in market interest rates. The Company has the ability to manage these fluctuations in part, through interest rate swaps. A 1% change in interest rates on variable rate debt would have resulted in the Company’s interest expense fluctuating by approximately $680,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004.

 

Approximately 4.0% and 4.8% of the Company’s total revenues in FY2004 and FY2003, respectively, were derived from

 

28


customers of our international operations, primarily in the United Kingdom. The Company’s practice in its international operations is to negotiate contracts in the same currency in which the predominant expenses are incurred, thereby mitigating the exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. It is not possible to accomplish this in all cases; thus, there is some risk that profits will be affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations. As of June 30, 2004 the Company had approximately $18.6 million in cash held in pounds sterling in the United Kingdom. This allows the Company to better utilize its cash resources on behalf of its foreign subsidiaries, thereby mitigating foreign currency conversion risks.

CACI INTERNATIONAL INC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business Activities

 

CACI International Inc (“the Company”) is an international information systems and high technology services corporation. It primarily delivers information technology and communications solutions through four areas of expertise or service offerings: systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services. The Company provides these services in support of U.S. national defense, intelligence and civilian agencies, agencies of foreign governments, state and local governments, and commercial enterprises.

 

The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, the dependence on contracts with federal government agencies, dependence on revenues derived from contracts awarded through competitive bidding, existence of contracts with fixed pricing, dependence on subcontractors to fulfill contractual obligations, dependence on key management personnel, ability to attract and retain qualified employees, ability to successfully integrate acquired companies, and current and potential competitors with greater resources.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the statements of CACI International Inc and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from three different types of contractual arrangements: cost-plus-fee contracts; time and materials contracts; and fixed price contracts. Revenue on cost-plus-fee contracts is recognized to the extent of costs incurred plus an estimate of the applicable fees earned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost-plus-fee contracts to be earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract. For cost-plus-fee contracts that include performance based fee incentives, the Company recognizes the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as the Company’s prior award experience and communications with the customer regarding performance. Revenue on time-and-material contracts is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus expenses incurred.

 

The Company has four basic categories of fixed price contracts; fixed unit price; fixed price-level of effort; fixed price-completion; and fixed price-license. Revenue on fixed unit price contracts, where specified units of output under service arrangements are delivered, is recognized as units are delivered based on the specified price per unit. Revenue on fixed unit price maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the length of the service period. Revenue for fixed price level of effort contracts is recognized based upon the number of units of labor actually delivered multiplied by the agreed rate for each unit of labor.

 

A significant portion of the Company’s fixed price-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex, client systems. For these contracts that are within the scope of Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”), revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion method using costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs. For fixed price-completion contracts that are not within the scope of SOP 81-1, revenue is generally recognized ratably over the service period. The Company’s fixed price license agreements and related services contracts are primarily executed in its international operations. As the agreements to deliver software require significant production, modification or customization of software, revenue is recognized using the contract accounting guidance of SOP 81-1. For agreements to deliver data under license and related services, revenue is recognized as the data is delivered and services are performed. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period such losses are determined.

 

Contract accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenues and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of the Company’s contracts, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Contract costs include material, labor and subcontracting costs, as well as an allocation of allowable indirect costs. Assumptions have to be made regarding the length of

 

41


time to complete the contract because costs also include expected increases in wages and prices for materials. For contract change orders, claims or similar items, the Company applies judgment in estimating the amounts and assessing the potential for realization. These amounts are only included in contract value when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Incentives or penalties related to performance on contracts are considered in estimating sales and profit rates, and are recorded when there is sufficient information for the Company to assess anticipated performance. Estimates of award fees for certain contracts are also a significant factor in estimating revenue and profit rates based on actual and anticipated awards.

 

The Company’s U.S. Government contracts (approximately 94% of total revenue in 2004) are subject to subsequent government audit of direct and indirect costs. The majority of such incurred cost audits have been completed through June 30, 2001. Management does not anticipate any material adjustment to the consolidated financial statements in subsequent periods for audits not yet completed.

 

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company establishes bad debt reserves against certain billed receivables based upon the latest information available to determine whether invoices are ultimately collectable. Whenever judgment is involved in determining the estimates, there is the potential for bad debt expense and the fair value of accounts receivable to be misstated. Given that the Company primarily serves the U.S. Government and that, in the Company’s opinion, the Company has sufficient controls in place to properly recognize revenue, the Company believes the risk to be relatively low that a misstatement of accounts receivable would have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of equipment and furniture has been provided over the estimated useful life of the respective assets (ranging from three to seven years) using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term or the useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, property and equipment consisted of the following:

 

     June 30,

Total property and equipment, net

   $ 25,489     $ 18,634  
    


 


 

During 2004, the Company wrote off approximately $1.9 million of fully depreciated assets and the related accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $9.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

 

Capitalized Software Costs

 

Costs incurred internally in creating a computer software product to be sold or licensed are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility has been established for the software. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design or, in its absence, completion of a working software version. Thereafter, all such software development costs are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and future revenue for each product with annual minimum amortization equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, which is approximately three years.

Goodwill

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized against earnings, but instead reviewed periodically for impairment. The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2001, and as a result, amortization of goodwill was discontinued. Annually, the Company performs a fair value analysis of its reporting units using valuation techniques prescribed in SFAS No. 142. Based on the analysis performed as of June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company determined that there were no indications of goodwill impairment.

 

Long-Lived Assets (Excluding Goodwill)

 

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the long-term undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset being evaluated. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the assets. The Company believes that the carrying values of its assets as of June 30, 2004 are fully realizable.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets related to contracts and programs acquired are as follows:

 

     June 30, 2004

Intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from 12 to 120 months based on their estimated useful lives. The intangible assets that resulted from the acquisition of the Defense and Intelligence Group (“D&IG”) of American Management Systems, Inc. are being amortized using an accelerated method based upon the estimated cash flows expected to be derived from the customer relationships. Amortization expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 was approximately $8.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Future amortization expense related to intangible assets is expected to be $19.2 million, $17.3 million, $16.8 million, $14.0 million and $12.2 million for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards.

 

U.S. income taxes have not been provided for with respect to $35.0 million in undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have been permanently reinvested outside the United States. If such earnings were distributed to the United States, certain foreign tax credits would be available to reduce the associated tax liability.

 

Currency Translation

 

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the reporting date, and income and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The Company’s primary practice is to negotiate contracts in the same currency in which the

 

43


predominant expenses are incurred, thereby mitigating the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The net effect of translation gains and losses is not included in determining net income, but is accumulated as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income, but are insignificant. These costs are included as indirect costs and selling expenses within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2004, the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment was the only component of accumulative other comprehensive income.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted earnings per share include the incremental effect of stock options calculated using the treasury stock method. The chart below shows the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The lines of credit and term loan have floating interest rates that vary with current indices and, as such, the recorded value approximates fair value.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements in order to conform to the current presentation.

 

Stock Compensation

 

On December 21, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure (“SFAS No. 148”). SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”), to provide alternative methods of transition of SFAS No. 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions if SFAS No. 123, to require disclosure in the summary of

 

44


significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual financial statements. While the statement does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB No. 25”).

 

The Company currently accounts for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25 as amended by FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation. If the Company’s employee stock-based compensation transactions had been accounted for based on their fair value, as determined under SFAS No. 123, the pro-forma earnings would have been as follows:

The weighted average fair value of each option granted during the years ended June 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $11.89, $20.33, and $10.00 respectively. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. These pro forma results may not be indicative of the future results due to the potential grants vesting and other factors.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued a final consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (“Issue 00-21”). Issue 00-21 provides guidance on how and when to recognize revenues from arrangements requiring delivery of more than one product or service. It also addresses how arrangement

 

45


consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in an arrangement. To the extent that a deliverable is part of an arrangement that is within the scope of other existing higher-level authoritative literature, Issue 00-21 does not apply. Issue 00-21 is effective prospectively for arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this EITF issue has not had a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

 

In May 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (“Issue 01-8”). Issue 01-8 provides guidance on how to identify a lease in an arrangement that also provides for the delivery of other goods or services by the seller (lessor), such as outsourcing arrangements. The provisions of Issue 01-8 apply to arrangements entered into on or after July 1, 2003. The adoption of this EITF issue has not had a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

 

NOTE 2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or fewer on their trade date to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies investments with an original maturity of more than three months but less than twelve months on their trade date as short-term marketable securities. To date, marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and have been carried at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. The fair value of marketable securities was determined based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for those instruments. The cost of securities sold is based on specific identification. Premiums and discounts are amortized over the period from acquisition to maturity and are included in investment income, along with interest and dividends. To date there have been no realized or unrealized gains or losses. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities at June 30, 2004 and 2003, consisted of the following (cost approximated fair value):

NOTE 7. NOTES PAYABLE AND CREDIT FACILITIES

 

In order to fund the acquisition of D&IG, the Company executed a new $550 million credit facility, which included a revolving credit facility and an institutional term loan. Total borrowings under the new credit facility were $422.6 million, of which $411.3 million was outstanding at June 30, 2004. The five year secured revolving credit facility permits continuously renewable borrowings of up to $200 million with annual sublimits on amounts borrowed for acquisitions. The Company had $62 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2004. In July 2004, the Company repaid $12.2 million of amounts borrowed under the revolver, which has been classified as current notes payable at June 30, 2004 in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Also classified as current notes payable is the amount of the revolving credit facility that management expects to repay in fiscal year 2005. The revolving credit facility permits one, two, three, and six month interest rate options. The Company pays a fee on the unused portion of the facility. The institutional term loan is a seven year secured facility in the amount of $350 million. The principal is to be prepaid 1% in years one through six with the remainder due on the maturity date. Interest rates on both the revolver and the term loan are based on LIBOR or the higher of the prime rate or Federal funds rate plus applicable margins. As of June 30, 2004, the weighted average interest rate was approximately 3.2% on these loans. Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2004 was $2.5 million. Margin and unused fee rates are determined quarterly based on the leverage ratio. The total costs associated with securing the new credit facility were approximately $8.2 million, which is being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the revolving credit facility and institutional term loan. The unamortized balance of approximately $8.0 million as of June 30, 2004 is included with other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company is required to operate within certain limits on leverage net worth and fixed-charge coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The revolving credit facility and institutional term loan are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

On February 4, 2002, the Company executed a five-year unsecured revolving line of credit. The agreement permitted borrowings of up to $185 million with a sublimit of $75 million per year on amounts borrowed for acquisitions. This agreement has now been replaced by the new credit facility described above. For the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 interest expense was $315,000 and $1.4 million, respectively.

 

The remaining notes payable are the result of various acquisitions. In July 2003, MTL Systems, Inc., which was acquired by the Company in January 2004, entered into a 10 year, $850,000 mortgage. The mortgage, which was assumed by the Company, bears a 5.88% interest rate and is being amortized over 15 years, with a balloon payment of $367,000 due in July 2013. As of June 30, 2004, the outstanding balance of the mortgage was $815,000. In July 2003,C-CUBED Corporation, which was acquired by the Company in October 2003, entered into a non-compete agreement with the founder of SIR, whose business they acquired. The note associated with the non-compete agreement is to be paid in full in June 2005, and has a remaining principal balance of $90,000 as of June 30, 2004.

 

During the fiscal year 2004, the Company paid off the outstanding balance of $1.5 million due on a note payable to the former shareholders of Net Federal, which was acquired in December 2000, as well as a note payable due to the former shareholders of Acton Burnell, Inc., which was acquired in October 2002, in the amount of $3.1 million. In addition, in March 2004, the Company repaid $5.4 million of borrowings on a line-of-credit that it acquired in its March 2004 acquisition of CMS Information Services, Inc.

Of the Company’s $551.9 million of goodwill as of June 30, 2004, $479.4 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

The Company is currently under examination by the State of Indiana. The examination is for the period beginning June 30, 1991 and ending June 30, 2000 and focuses on whether the Company established a taxable presence in Indiana during the examination period. Management of the Company believes that it did not establish a taxable presence and is contesting the State’s conclusion vigorously. Management has accrued its best estimate of the exposure in this matter. The Company does not believe the outcome will have a material adverse effect on its financial statements.

 

NOTE 9. STOCK PLANS

 

Stock Incentive Plan

 

In 1996, the Company’s shareholders approved an Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”), which replaced a 1986 Plan that expired. The 1996 Plan permits the award of incentive and non-qualified stock options and stock grants to officers,

 

50


employees and directors of the Company. The 1996 Plan limited total awards and stock grants to 1,500,000 shares over the life of the 1996 Plan. In November 2000, the shareholders approved an amendment to add 550,000 more shares to the 1996 Plan. In December 2001, the Company declared a 100% stock dividend, the equivalent of a stock split on a two for one basis.

 

Pursuant to its provisions, the 1996 Plan was adjusted to reflect the impact of such stock dividend. With respect to outstanding option grants, such adjustment was effected by doubling the number of options granted and reducing the exercise price by half. At their meeting in November 2002, the shareholders approved an increase of 1,850,000 shares to the 1996 Plan, bringing the total shares available to 5,950,000. As adjusted for the stock dividend, options for 5,925,040 shares have been granted under the 1996 Plan through June 30, 2004. With certain exceptions, one-third of the options granted in conjunction with any award under the 1996 Plan become exercisable each year over a three year period, beginning one year from the date of grant. Of the total options granted, 1,063,290 have been forfeited by grantees.

 

Under the 1996 Plan, non-qualified stock options granted prior to January 1, 2004 lapse and are no longer exercisable if not exercised within ten years of the date of grant. Options and RSUs granted on or after January 1, 2004 have a term of seven years. Grantees whose employment has been terminated have 60 days after their termination date to exercise options that are then exercisable or forfeit their right to the options. Options that are not yet exercisable as of the date of termination are forfeited by the terminating employee and become available for future grants under the plan.

 

All awards granted under the 1996 Plan to date have been in the form of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock unit grants. The exercise prices of all non-qualified stock option grants have been set at the market price of the Company stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock option grants as the Company accounts for its stock option grants using the guidance in APB No. 25.

 

In 2004, the Company began issuing Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) under the 1996 Plan. All grants have been set at the market price of the Company stock on the date of the grant. The RSUs cliff vest three years from the date of award and compensation expense is being recognized ratably over the vesting period. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company granted approximately 20,000 RSUs at a weighted average price of $44.06 per share.

Stock Purchase Plans

 

The Company adopted the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), Management Stock Purchase Plan (“MSPP”), and Director Stock Purchase Plan (“DSPP”) at its annual shareholder meeting on November 21, 2002 and implemented these plans beginning July 1, 2003 (the start of the Company’s fiscal year 2004). There are 500,000, 300,000, and 75,000 shares authorized for grants under the ESPP, MSPP and DSPP, respectively. The aforementioned plans provide employees, management, and directors with an opportunity to acquire or increase an ownership interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock at a discounted rate (except for the DSPP which offers no discount), subject to certain terms and conditions.

 

The ESPP is implemented through one offering during each quarter of each fiscal year, beginning effective July 1, 2003. The ESPP allows the Company’s full-time employees to purchase shares of common stock at 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first day or the last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. The maximum number of shares that an eligible employee may purchase during any offering period is equal to two times an amount determined as follows: 20% of such employee’s compensation over the offering period divided by 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first day of the offering period. As the ESPP is a qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Company follows APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation expense has been recorded in connection with the ESPP. The Company follows the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 in accounting for the ESPP. As of June 30, 2004, participants have purchased approximately 69,000 shares under the ESPP at a weighted average price per share of $34.53.

 

The MSPP provides senior executives with stock holding requirements a mechanism to acquire RSUs in lieu of up to 30% of their annual bonus. The RSUs are awarded under the MSPP at 85% of the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the award and vest three years from the date of the award, upon a change of control of the Company, retirement on or after age 65, or the participant’s death or permanent disability. Vested RSUs will be settled in shares of common stock. The Company accounts for MSPP transactions in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. As of June 30, 2004, there have been approximately 29,000 RSUs issued under the MSPP at $36.48 per share.

 

The DSPP provides an opportunity for Non-Employee Directors to acquire an equity interest in the Company. The DSPP allows directors to elect to receive RSUs at the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the award in lieu of up to 50% of their annual retainer fees. Vested RSUs will be settled in shares of common stock. As of June 30 2004, there have been approximately 1,600 RSUs issued under the DSPP at a weighted average price per share of $42.78.

All Stock Purchase Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

The Company maintains a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the CACI $MART PLAN. Employees can contribute up to 25% (subject to certain statutory limitations) of their total cash compensation. The Company provides matching contributions equal to 50% of the amount of the employee’s contribution, up to 6% of the employee’s total fiscal year cash compensation. In addition, the Company may also make discretionary profit sharing contributions to the plan. Employer contributions vest according to a schedule entitling full vesting after three years of employment. Employee contributions vest immediately. The CACI $MART PLAN is qualified under the Internal Revenue Code, as determined by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

The Company maintains a non-qualified, defined contribution plan, the CACI International Inc Group Executive Retirement Plan, which is available to certain executives. Executives at the vice president level and above may voluntarily defer up to 50% of their cash compensation in a plan year, thus deferring income taxes on the amount they contribute until they terminate their interest in the plan through retirement or termination of their employment. For executives who participate in the Plan, and whose annual compensation exceeds the statutory limit of the qualified plan (currently $200,000 per year), the Company contributes 5% of such excess to the participant’s account in the Group Executive Retirement Plan. Each participant is fully vested immediately in his voluntary deferrals. The Company contributions vest 20% per year over a five year period from the date of first participation in the Plan.

 

The total consolidated expenses for the Company’s contributions to the 401(k) plan and the Group Executive Retirement Plan for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $11,193,000, $8,441,000 and $6,454,000, respectively. The Company funds the costs of the qualified plans as they accrue.

Group Health Plan. The Company has provided for medical and dental benefit coverage to certain eligible employees, both former and active, and their dependents. The accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation represents the estimated present value of future claims by participants under this plan.

 

Executive Life. In accordance with certain agreements, the Company maintains life insurance policies covering certain officers, both former and active. The cost of the insured’s premiums is treated as compensation expense.

 

53


Deferred Compensation. Effective July 1, 2000, the Company established the CACI International Inc Group Executive Retirement Plan described in Note 10. Upon termination or retirement, account balances are paid to participants as taxable income. The Company maintains investment assets to offset the obligations under the deferred compensation plan. The investment assets are classified as trading securities and the changes in the value of the assets are classified in the Statement of Operations. The investment assets are included within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase of $6.6 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 is due to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 compensation deferrals of $4.8 million, investment gains of $2.1 million, company contributions of $333,000, and distributions of $773,000.

 

Other Long-Term Obligations. These obligations include deferred income, non-qualified pension payables, sublease security deposits, payments due to certain founders of Questech, Inc., under confidential agreements, as well as capital lease payables.

 

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

The Company conducts its operations from leased office facilities, all of which are classified as operating leases and expire primarily over the next nine years.

 

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases with a remaining term greater than one year as of June 30, 2004:

Operating leases reflect the minimum lease payments net of a minimal amount of sub-lease income. Rent expense incurred from operating leases for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 totaled approximately $24,441,000, $19,882,000, and $16,463,000, respectively.

 

Other Contingencies

 

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that any liability or loss associated with such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and liquidity.

 

The Company has entered into a subcontract agreement with a vendor to purchase a number of directional finding units to be ordered in connection with the performance of one of the Company’s contracts over a four year period ending in fiscal year 2006. The subject subcontract provides for unit price decreases as the number of units purchased under the subcontract increases. Based on the present status of contract performance, management believes that the Company will purchase a sufficient number of units over the subcontract term to allow it to realize the lowest unit cost available. Based upon that expectation, unit costs incurred to date have been recognized in “Direct Costs” at such lowest unit cost in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Based on the number of units ordered to date and assuming that no other units are ordered under the subcontract, the Company’s maximum unit price exposure (the difference between the unit price that would be applicable to the number of units actually purchased as compared to the discount price at which the Company has recognized the purchases to date) is estimated to be approximately $1.7 million, which has not been recorded in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2004.

NOTE 13. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

 

2004 Acquisitions

 

On May 1, 2004, the Company completed the purchase of the D&IG and related assets of American Management Systems, Incorporated. D&IG provides the U.S. Government with business management solutions, including information technology and software design, for defense, intelligence and homeland security agencies in support of acquisition, financial management, logistics, warfighting and intelligence missions. The transaction was entered into with CGI Group Inc., which concurrently purchased all of the outstanding shares of AMS.

 

The total purchase price paid for the D&IG acquisition was $420.7 million, including $5.7 million of transaction costs. Approximately $328.8 million of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based primarily on the excess of the purchase price over the $30.9 million estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and $61.0 million assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The Company is amortizing substantially all such intangible assets over a period of 8 years using an accelerated method. D&IG contributed revenue of $40.3 million for the period of May 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004.

 

The D&IG acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The Company is in the process of finalizing the D&IG balance sheet, thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement as further information becomes available. The Company may be required to pay additional consideration of up to $10 million based on the resolution of the final D&IG balance sheet at the acquisition date. Any additional amounts paid will be recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

 

(dollars in thousands)


      

Accounts receivable:

        

Billed (net of allowance)

   $ 59.8  

Unbilled

     18.0  

Property and equipment

     4.0  

Other assets

     6.5  

Accounts payable and accruals

     (7.2 )

Accrued compensation

     (6.8 )

Loss reserve on contracts

     (33.4 )(a)

Deferred income taxes

     (10.0 )(b)
    


Net book value of assets purchased

     30.9  

Goodwill

     328.8  

Intangible assets

     61.0  
    


     $ 420.7  
    



(a) In connection with the D&IG acquisition, two contracts were acquired which required forward loss reserves. These losses were recorded based on the guidance in SOP 81-1. As a result, $33.4 million was recorded as a liability in Other Accrued Expenses as of May 1, 2004, based on the estimate-to-complete analyses prepared. The estimate for these reserves will be periodically reviewed by management.
(b) As part of the D&IG acquisition, the Company acquired the stock of R.M. Vredenburg and Company (“Vredenburg”). For book purposes, the Company is required to amortize intangible assets, however for tax purposes, the amortization is not deductible. This results in a deferred tax liability related to Vredenburg intangible assets, which is estimated to be approximately $7.0 million. The remaining $3.0 million of acquired deferred income taxes represents deferred income taxes associated with Vredenburg.

 

On March 1, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of CMS Information Services, Inc. (“CMS”). CMS headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, is an information technology consulting firm that serves government agencies, primarily in the national defense sector. CMS specializes in enterprise network solutions, enterprise financial management systems and software engineering and integration. The total purchase price paid was $28.2 million. Approximately $18.3 million of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based primarily on the excess of the purchase price over the $6.9 million estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and the $3.0 million value assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The Company is amortizing substantially all such assets over a period of nine years. CMS contributed revenue of $13.1 million for the period from March 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004.

 

55


On January 16, 2004, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of MTL Systems, Inc. (“MTL”). MTL, headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, provides engineering and integration services such as imagery technology, algorithm development and modeling and simulation for the Department of Defense. The total purchase price was approximately $4.4 million. Approximately $1.9 million of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based on the excess of the purchase price over the $1.8 million estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and the $0.7 million value assigned to the identifiable intangible assets. The Company is amortizing these assets over a period of five years. MTL contributed revenue of $2.5 million from January 16, 2004 to June 30, 2004.

 

On October 16, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of C-CUBED Corporation (“C-CUBED”). C-CUBED provides specialized services in support of C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) initiatives to clients in the Department of Defense, federal, civilian, and intelligence communities. The total purchase price paid was $36.2 million of which $34.7 has been paid. The balance of $1.5 million is payable in the form of contingent consideration to the former shareholders of C-CUBED, regardless of their employment status with the Company, based on the achievement of level of effort goals on an existing contract for 18 months after the acquisition. The Company has placed this amount in escrow and recorded it as an Other Asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and will record additional goodwill if the contingent consideration is earned. Approximately $19.5 million of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based primarily on the excess of the purchase price over the $8.8 million estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and the $6.4 million value assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The Company is amortizing substantially all such intangible assets over a period of two to eight years. C-CUBED contributed revenue of $35.7 million for the period from October 16, 2003 to June 30, 2004.

 

The Company entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) on March 1, 2004, which it has extended through October 2004, to acquire all of the outstanding stock of an information technology services company that provides work for various agencies of the Federal Government, primarily within the Department of Defense. The purchase price is expected to be approximately $30 million. The Company is currently evaluating whether or not it will move forward with the acquisition. If the Company chooses to move forward, the Company will fund the acquisition with proceeds under its new credit facility described above.

 

These acquisitions resulted in an increase of approximately $368.5 million in the Company’s goodwill balance reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The additional $1.0 million increase in goodwill is due to adjustments made to the goodwill related to the Company’s fiscal year 2003 acquisitions, as discussed below. The adjustments primarily related to earn-out payments and closing balance sheet adjustments.

 

2003 Acquisitions

 

On August 16, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the Government Solutions Division of Condor Technology Solutions, Inc. (“Condor”). The acquired Condor business complements the Company’s systems integration, knowledge management, data mining and purchasing systems solutions for federal clients. The total cash paid for Condor was $16.2 million. Approximately $10.3 million of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based primarily on the excess of the purchase price over the $1.2 million estimated fair value of net assets acquired and the $4.7 million value assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The Company is amortizing substantially all such identifiable intangible assets over a period of ten years. Condor contributed revenue of $15.2 million for the period from August 16, 2002 to June 30, 2003.

 

On October 16, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Acton Burnell, Inc., an information technology company providing systems integration, knowledge management, manpower readiness and training, and financial systems solutions for the federal government. The total purchase price for Acton Burnell, Inc., was $29.4 million Approximately $17.6 million of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based primarily on the excess of the purchase price over the $7.9 million estimated fair value of net assets acquired, the $6.3 million value assigned to identifiable intangible assets, and deferred tax liabilities related to identifiable intangible assets of $2.4 million. The Company is amortizing substantially all such identifiable intangible assets over a period of ten years. Acton Burnell, Inc. contributed revenue of $26.4 million for the period from October 16, 2002 to June 30, 2003.

 

On February 28, 2003, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Applied Technology Solutions of Northern Virginia, Inc. (“ATS”), an information technology company serving clients in the national intelligence community. The total cash paid for ATS was $13.1 million. Approximately $9.6 million of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based primarily on the excess of the purchase price over the $1.3 million estimated fair value of net assets acquired and the $2.2 million value assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The Company is amortizing substantially all such identifiable intangible assets over a weighted average life of seven years. ATS contributed revenue of $2.7 million for the period from February 28, 2003 to June 30, 2003. The Company has made a 338(h)(10) election related to the ATS acquisition, which allows the acquisition to be treated as an asset purchase for income tax purposes.

 

On May 15, 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Premier Technology Group, Inc. (“PTG”). PTG, headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, provided professional services to clients in the Department of Defense and the intelligence community. The total purchase price for PTG was $48.8 million, of which $46.2 million has been paid. The balance of $2.6

 

56


million will be paid in the form of earn out payments tied to the continuation of existing business and will be recorded, if earned, as additional goodwill. The timing of this payment is contingent upon the receipt of authorized funding from the federal government. The earn out payments have not been accrued at June 30, 2004 as the contingencies are not resolved. Approximately $19.3 million of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill based primarily on the excess of the purchase price over the $12.2 million estimated fair value of net assets acquired and the $14.7 million value assigned to identifiable assets. The Company is amortizing substantially all such identifiable intangible assets over a period of one to eight years. PTG contributed revenue of $5.2 million for the period from May 15, 2003 to June 30, 2003.

 

On June 6, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Rochester Information Systems Ltd (“RISys”), a company in the United Kingdom which specializes in the development and implementation of enterprise information solutions for the UK Public Sector, especially Health, Education and Local Government. To date, $1.7 million has been paid in cash for the company, and there is a potential additional liability estimated at $217,000 which will bring the total purchase price up to $1.9 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay the balance of the consideration if certain performance targets are met within 24 months following the acquisition. As the purchase price paid exceeded the fair value of net liabilities acquired of $779,000 (identified intangible assets of $595,000 less net liabilities assumed of $1,374,000), this resulted in a $2.4 million allocation to goodwill. The Company is amortizing all identifiable intangible assets over periods up to 10 years. In the year ended June 30, 2003, RISys contributed revenue of $126,000.

 

2002 Acquisition

 

On November 1, 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of DSIC for $47.0 million. The $47.0 million payment was financed through the Company’s existing credit facility. The acquired business implements ERP systems, including large-scale financial and human resource systems, and e-procurement applications; develops client/server and web-enabled applications; operates an enterprise networking and information assurance practice; solves complex business problems with a recognized process modeling and simulation methodology; and provides acquisition/program management consulting services, primarily to the federal government. As part of this acquisition, 498 employees joined the Company. Approximately $23.0 million of the purchase consideration has been allocated to goodwill, based upon the excess of the purchase price over the $15.9 million estimated fair value of net tangible assets and the $8.1 million assigned to intangible assets acquired. The Company is amortizing these intangible assets over a period of three to ten years. DSIC contributed revenue of $40.3 million for the period from November 1, 2001 to June 30, 2002.

NOTE 14. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company reports operating results and financial data in two segments: domestic operations and international operations. Domestic operations provide information technology and communications solutions through all four of the Company’s major service offerings: systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services. Its customers are primarily U.S. federal agencies, however, it does serve a number of agencies of foreign governments and customers in the commercial and state and local sectors and places employees in locations around the world in support of these clients. International operations offer services to both commercial and government customers primarily through the Company’s systems

Although for purposes of promoting an understanding of the Company’s complex business, the four areas of service offerings, systems integration, managed network services, knowledge management and engineering services, are discussed, the Company does not manage its business nor allocate capital resources based upon those service offerings. Furthermore, the underlying accounting and forecasting systems are not designed to capture key financial information such as revenue, costs and capital expenditures by such service offerings because these offerings cut across all divisions of the operations. Therefore, it is impractical for the Company to report revenue by the four service offerings.

NOTE 15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On January 6, 2002, the Company completed the sale of the net assets of its domestic Marketing Systems Group to Environmental Research Systems Institute, Inc’s subsidiary, ERSI Business Information Solutions, for $3.5 million. This resulted in a net after tax loss for the Company of $1.3 million. Included in the loss was a net after tax loss from discontinued operations of $284,000 for the period from October 31, 2001 to January 6, 2002. Revenue from discontinued operations was $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2002.

2.4 Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders hereby appoint David C. Lucien as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) of the Stockholders with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of the Stockholders with respect to the surrender of the stock certificates owned by each of the Stockholders to Federal in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and to act on behalf of the Stockholders in any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, act as the paying agent on behalf of the Stockholders, do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and execute all such documents as the Stockholders’ Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power:

The appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Parent, Federal and CMS may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Stockholders’ Representative in all matters referred to herein.

 

If David C. Lucien resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve as the Stockholders’ Representative, the successor Stockholders’ Representative shall be designated in writing by the Stockholders who held a majority of the CMS Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing, and such designation shall be binding upon all of the Stockholders.

 

If any individual Stockholders should die or become incapacitated, if any trust or estate should terminate or if any other such event should occur, any action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be as valid as if such death or incapacity, termination or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent, Federal or CMS shall have received notice of such death, incapacity, termination or other event.

 

All notices and other deliveries required to be made or delivered by Parent, Federal or CMS to the Stockholders shall be made to the Stockholders’ Representative for the benefit of the Stockholders and shall discharge in full all notice requirements of Parent, Federal or CMS to the Stockholders with respect thereto. The Stockholders hereby confirm all that the Stockholders’ Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of his appointment as the Stockholders’ Representative of the Stockholders.

 

The Stockholders’ Representative shall act for the Stockholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Stockholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Stockholders and consistent with his and their obligations under this Agreement, but the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be responsible to the Stockholders for any loss or damages the Stockholders may suffer by the performance by the Stockholders’ Representative of his duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from his willful violation of the law or his duties hereunder.

The foregoing indemnity shall survive the resignation or substitution of the Stockholders’ Representative.

The Stockholders’ Representative and his employees and advisors shall have full access upon prior written notice and during normal business hours to the books, papers and records of CMS and its accountants (if any are used), relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet in connection with such inquiry and the preparation of any objections thereto (“Objections”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Stockholders unless the Stockholders’ Representative shall have notified Federal in writing of any Objections thereto within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet.

 

2.5.3 Disputes. In the event of Objections, Federal shall have 20 days to review and respond to such Objections, and Federal and the Stockholders’ Representative shall attempt to resolve the differences underlying such Objections within 20 days following completion of Federal’s review of such Objections. Disputes between Federal and the Stockholders’ Representative which cannot be resolved by them within such 20-day period shall be referred no later than such 20th day for decision to a nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm mutually selected by the Stockholders’ Representative and Federal (the “Auditor”) (which firm shall not be either of (a) the independent public accountants of Federal or (b) the independent public accountants used by CMS prior to the Closing Date) who shall act as arbitrator and determine, based solely on presentations by the Stockholders’ Representative and Federal and only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Balance Sheet requires adjustment.

7.4.1 Claims for Indemnification. Upon obtaining knowledge of any facts, claim or demand which has given rise to, or could reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder (referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim”), the party seeking indemnification hereunder, the Stockholder Indemnified Party or the Parent Indemnified Party, as the case may be (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly give written notice of such facts, claim or demand (a “Notice of Claim”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought, the Parent Indemnifying Party or the Stockholder Indemnifying Party, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”). No failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the giving of a Notice of Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby.

 

7.4.2 Defense by Indemnifying Party. In the event of a claim or demand asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of the date of the Notice of Claim concerning the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party gives such notice of intent to defend, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof as follows: (a) the Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel compensated by and chosen by the Indemnifying Party, which choice of counsel shall be subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party; (b) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at the sole cost and expense of Indemnified Party; (c) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; and (d) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement that does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter

 

- 33 -


releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If, however, (y) no Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 10 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof, or (z), the maximum liability under such Third Party Claim is greater than the available indemnification amount for the Indemnifying Party (after taking into account the amount of all other claims for which the Indemnifying Party may be or may be claimed to be liable and any limitations contained in Section 7.4.3 hereof), then the Indemnified Party may defend against, or enter into any settlement with respect to, the matter. The Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

7.4.3 Limitation on Liability for Indemnity.

 

(a) The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.4 until the aggregate amount of all Losses suffered by the Parent Indemnified Parties exceed $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) (the “Parent Indemnity Basket”) whereupon the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses in excess of $100,000. The Parent Indemnity Basket shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualification contained in any representation or warranty.

 

(b) The Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.4 until the aggregate amount of all Losses, suffered by the Stockholder Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) (the “Stockholder Indemnity Basket”) whereupon the Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses in excess of $100,000.

The Stockholder Indemnity Basket shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualification contained in any representation or warranty.

 

(c) The aggregate liability of the Parent Indemnifying Parties for indemnification under this Section 7.4 shall not exceed $4,000,000 (Four Million Dollars). The aggregate liability of the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties for indemnification under this Section 7.4 shall not exceed $4,000,000 (Four Million Dollars). The joint and several liability of the Indemnifying Stockholders under this Section 7.4 shall be in proportion to, and shall not exceed, such Indemnifying Stockholder’s pro rata interest in the Escrow. Provided that Parent and Federal are not otherwise in default of their obligations under Section 2.2 above, then to the extent that the amount then held in the Escrow is sufficient, the amount that a Stockholder

 

- 34 -


Indemnified Party is entitled to receive in indemnification hereunder, or such lesser amount as is then held in the Escrow, shall be released from the Escrow and paid to such Stockholder Indemnified Party in partial (if the amount then held in the Escrow is less than the amount such Stockholder Indemnified Party is entitled receive in indemnification hereunder ) or full satisfaction of the Parent Indemnifying Parties’ obligation hereunder, as the case may be.

 

(d) The Stockholders, other than the Indemnifying Stockholders, shall not be subject to the indemnification obligations of this Section 7.4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all visits to any office of CMS or any Subsidiary will be coordinated and conducted so as to not be disruptive to the operations of CMS or the Subsidiaries and with the intention to preserve the confidentiality of the transactions contemplated hereby. In connection with their due diligence investigations, Parent and Federal may employ the services of a third party to provide document management and database services. As one of the last matters of their due diligence investigations, Parent and Federal shall be permitted to meet with CMS’s and the Subsidiaries’ significant customers.

 

7.6 Public Disclosure. Except as otherwise required by law, any press release or other public disclosure of information regarding the proposed transaction (including the negotiations with respect to the Transaction and the terms and existence of this Agreement) shall be developed by Parent, subject to CMS’s review.

(f) by any party hereto if: (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the Transaction; (ii) there shall be any final action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Transaction by any Governmental Entity which would make consummation of the Transaction illegal or which would prohibit Parent’s or Federal’s ownership or operation of all or a material portion of the stock or assets of CMS, or compel Parent or Federal to dispose of or hold separate all or a material portion of the business or assets of CMS or Parent or Federal as a result of the Transaction; or

 

(g) by any party hereto if the Transaction shall not have been consummated by [March 1], 2004 , provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(g) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such date.

Section 501(a) of the Code; copies of all determination letters have been delivered to Parent, and, to the Knowledge of C-CUBED, nothing has occurred since the date of such determination letters which might cause the loss of such qualification or exemption, or result in the imposition of any excise tax or income tax on unrelated business income under the Code or ERISA with respect to any C-CUBED Plan. With respect to each C-CUBED Plan which is a qualified profit sharing plan, all employer contributions accrued for plan years ending prior to the Closing under C-CUBED Plan terms and applicable law have been made.

 

3.11.4 Funding. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11.4:

 

(a) all contributions, premiums or other payments due or required to be made to C-CUBED Plans as of the date hereof have been made as of the date hereof or are properly reflected on C-CUBED Balance Sheet;

 

(b) there are no actions, liens, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or, to the Knowledge of C-CUBED, threatened, with respect to any C-CUBED Plan, nor is any C-CUBED Plan the subject of any pending (or to the Knowledge of C-CUBED, any threatened) investigation or audit by the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation;

 

(c) no event has occurred, and there exists no condition or set of circumstances, which presents a material risk of a partial termination (within the meaning of Section 411(d)(3) of the Code) of any C-CUBED Plan; and

 

(d) with respect to any C-CUBED Plan that is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code, individually and in the aggregate, no event has occurred, and there exists no condition or set of circumstances in connection with which C-CUBED could be subject to any liability (except liability for benefits claims and funding obligations payable in the ordinary course) that is reasonably likely to have an C-CUBED Material Adverse Effect under ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law.

 

3.11.5 Certain Other Matters. Except as reserved for on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet or the Final Closing Balance Sheet, C-CUBED has no liability or potential liability in any form whatsoever, and C-CUBED will not have liability or potential liability in any form whatsoever, with regard to any C-CUBED Plan, as a result of the any failure to perform non-discrimination testing on an C-CUBED Plan or any failure to amend an C-CUBED Plan pursuant to the legislation commonly known as “GUST” or the legislation commonly known as “EGTRRA.” All employee contributions, including elective deferrals, to C-CUBED’s 401(k) plan(s) have been segregated from C-CUBED’s general assets and deposited into the trust(s) established pursuant to such 401(k) plan(s) in a timely manner in accordance with the “plan asset” regulations of the Department of Labor.

 

3.11.6 Welfare Plans. With respect to any C-CUBED Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA) (a “Welfare Plan”) and except as set forth on Schedule 3.11.6, (a) each Welfare Plan for which contributions are claimed by C-CUBED as deductions under any provision of the Code is in material compliance with all applicable requirements pertaining to such deduction, (b) with respect to any

 

23


welfare benefit fund (within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code) related to a Welfare Plan, there is no disqualified benefit (within the meaning of Section 4976(b) of the Code) that would result in the imposition of a tax under Section 4976(a) of the Code, (c) all C-CUBED Plans that are group health plans (within the meaning of Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) comply, and in each and every case have complied, with all of the applicable material requirements of COBRA, the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1996, the Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act of 1996, and all similar provisions of state law or foreign law applicable to employees of C-CUBED or any ERISA Affiliate of C-CUBED. None of the C-CUBED Plans promises or provides retiree medical or other retiree welfare benefits to any person except as required by applicable law, and neither C-CUBED nor any ERISA Affiliate of C-CUBED has represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to provide such retiree benefits to any employee, former employee, director, consultant or other person, except to the extent required by statute. No C-CUBED Plan or employment agreement provides health benefits that are not insured through an insurance contract. Each C-CUBED Plan is amendable and terminable unilaterally by C-CUBED at any time without liability to C-CUBED as a result thereof and no C-CUBED Plan, plan documentation or agreement, summary plan description or other written communication distributed generally to employees by its terms prohibits C-CUBED from amending or terminating any such C-CUBED Plan, provided that no amendment or termination adversely effects or extinguishes any accrued benefits under a C-CUBED Plan prior to such amendment or termination.

Subject to the terms of this Section 6.3, from and after the Closing Date, the Stockholders and each of their respective successors (collectively the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement from Parent, Federal and C-CUBED (the “Stockholder Indemnifying Parties”) of the amount of Loss suffered, incurred or paid by any Stockholder Indemnified Party by reason of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Federal in this Agreement, the breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation to be performed by Parent or Federal hereunder (or C-CUBED hereunder after the Closing Date) or under any agreement executed in connection herewith, or any matter arising out of the business of C-CUBED after the Closing. For the purpose of determining the magnitude of a Loss suffered, incurred or paid, each representation and warranty herein shall read as if all qualifications as to materiality and knowledge have been deleted therefrom, it being understood, however, that such qualifications are to be considered in determining whether a representation or warranty has been breached.

 

6.3.1 Claims for Indemnification. Upon obtaining knowledge of any facts, claim or demand which has given rise to, or could reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder (referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim”), the party seeking indemnification hereunder, the Parent Indemnified Party or the Stockholder Indemnified Party, as the case may be (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly give written notice of such facts, claim or demand (“Notice of Claim”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought, the Parent Indemnifying Party or the Stockholder Indemnifying Party, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”). So long as the Notice of Claim is given by the Indemnified Party in the

 

37


Claims Period specified in Section 6.3.4, no failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the giving of a Notice of Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby.

 

6.3.2 Defense by Indemnifying Party. In the event of a claim or demand asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of the date of the Notice of Claim concerning the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party gives such notice of intent to defend, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof as follows: (a) the Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel compensated by and chosen by the Indemnifying Party, which choice of counsel shall be subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party; (b) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at the sole cost and expense of Indemnified Party; (c) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; and (d) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement that does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If, however, (y) no Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 10 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof, or (z) the maximum liability under such Third Party Claim is greater than the available indemnification amount for the Indemnifying Party (after taking into account the amount of all other claims for which the Indemnifying Party may be or may be claimed to be liable and any limitations contained in Section 6.3.3 hereof), then the Indemnified Party shall defend against, or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter. The Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

6.3.3 Limitation on Liability for Indemnity.

 

(a) The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 until the aggregate amount of all Losses suffered by the Parent Indemnified Parties exceed $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) (the “Parent Indemnity Deductible”) whereupon the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses in excess of the Parent Indemnity Deductible. The Parent Indemnity Deductible shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualification contained in any representation or warranty.

 

(b) The Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 until the aggregate amount of all Losses, suffered by the Stockholder Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) (the “Stockholder Indemnity Deductible”) whereupon the Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses in excess of the Stockholder Indemnity Deductible. The Stockholder Indemnity Deductible shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualification contained in any representation or warranty.

 

38


(c) For each indemnification claim made by the Parent Indemnified Parties against the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties under this Section 6.3, the amount of the indemnification claim made against the ESOP Adjustments and Claims Escrow shall be the amount of the indemnification claim multiplied by the ESOP Percentage, and the amount of the indemnification claim made against the Non-ESOP Adjustments and Claims Escrow shall be the amount of the indemnification claim multiplied by the Non-ESOP Percentage. The aggregate liability of the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties for indemnification under this Section 6.3 shall not exceed $3,500,000 (Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars). The aggregate liability of the Parent Indemnifying Parties for indemnification under this Section 6.3 shall not exceed $3,500,000 (Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars). On the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next business day), the Escrow Agent shall disburse to ESOP Stockholders’ Representative and the Non-ESOP Stockholder’s Representative, as paying agent, any amounts remaining in the ESOP Adjustments and Claims Escrow Fund and Non-ESOP Adjustments and Claims Escrow Fund, respectively, after any disbursements made to CACI. However, unless Federal shall have notified the Escrow Agent that the SIR Contract (as defined in Section 6.3.4 below) has been closed out by the eighteen-month anniversary then the product of $500,000 and the ESOP Percentage will remain in the ESOP Adjustments and Claims Escrow and the product of $500,000 and the Non-ESOP Percentage will remain in the Non-ESOP Adjustments and Claims Escrow for a period of time set forth in Section 6.3.4.

The sole recourse and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnified Parties against the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties after the Closing arising out of this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith or otherwise arising from the Transaction, shall be for Parent Indemnified Parties to assert a claim for indemnification against the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. The sole and exclusive source of repayment for an indemnification claim by the Parent Indemnified Parties against the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement shall be from the ESOP Adjustments and Claims Escrow and the Non-ESOP Adjustments and Claims Escrow, respectively.

 

6.3.4 Claims Period. Any claim for indemnification under this Section 6.3, for all matters unrelated to the NCIS investigation in connection with the Systems Integration & Research Inc., contract no. N66604-95-D-A500 (the “SIR Contract”), must be asserted by written notice on or before the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date. In the event that the SIR Contract has not been fully closed-out as of the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, any claim for indemnification under this Section 6.3 for all matters related to the NCIS investigation in connection with the SIR Contract after Closing must be asserted by written notice on or before the earlier of: (a) the date that is 54 months after the Closing Date, and (b) the date that the SIR Contract has been fully closed-out.

39


during regular business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, to C-CUBED’s executives, offices, properties, books and records, and C-CUBED shall use reasonable efforts to cause its representatives and independent public accountants to furnish to Parent such additional financial and operating data and other information as to its business, customers, vendors and properties as Parent may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all visits to any office of C-CUBED will be coordinated and conducted so as to not be disruptive to the operations of C-CUBED and to preserve the confidentiality of the transactions contemplated hereby. In connection with their due diligence investigations, Parent and Federal may employ the services of a third party to provide document management and database services. As one of the last matters of their due diligence investigations, immediately prior to Closing, Parent and Federal shall be permitted to meet with C-CUBED’s significant customers

 

6.5 Public Disclosure. Except as otherwise required by law, any press release or other public disclosure of information regarding the proposed transaction (including the negotiations with respect to the Transaction and the terms and existence of this Agreement) shall be developed by Parent, subject to C-CUBED’s review. C-CUBED and Parent agree that the non-disclosure obligations contained in Section 11 of the Letter of Intent shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof.

 

6.6 Further Assurances.

 

6.6.1 Generally. Subject to terms and conditions herein provided and to the fiduciary duties of the board of directors and officers or representatives of any party, each of the parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In case at any time any further action, including, without limitation, the obtaining of waivers and consents under any agreements, material contracts or leases and the execution and delivery of any licenses or sublicenses for any software, is necessary, proper or advisable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors or representatives of each party to this Agreement are hereby directed and authorized to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate all required action.

 

6.6.2 Novation of Contracts. Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the novation of each contract with a Governmental Entity that may require novation under its terms or under applicable laws or regulations, and further agrees to provide all documentation necessary to effect each such novation, including, without limitation, all instruments, certifications, requests, legal opinions, audited financial statements, and other documents required by Part 42 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation to effect a novation of any contract with the Government of the United States.

6.7 Certain Tax Matters.

 

6.7.1 338(h)(10) Election. C-CUBED and the Stockholders will join with Federal in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign tax law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder (a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). Each Stockholder will include any income, gain, loss, deduction, or other tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election, excluding the built-in gains tax, on his or her Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable law.

 

6.7.2 Allocation of Purchase Price. Federal, the Stockholders and C-CUBED agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of C-CUBED and its qualified subchapter S subsidiaries (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the assets of C-CUBED and its qualified subchapter S subsidiaries for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) in a manner consistent with an allocation schedule to be prepared by Parent after the Closing. Federal shall prepare such allocation schedule in accordance with Code section 1060 and the Treasury regulations thereunder, and shall permit the Stockholders’ Representative an opportunity to review such allocation schedule.

The parties expect that consummation of the sale of C-CUBED’s stock pursuant to this Agreement will result in termination of C-CUBED’s election to be taxed as an S corporation, and none of C-CUBED and the Stockholders makes any representation as to C-CUBED’s tax status after the Closing.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Stockholder shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items for such periods on the Stockholder’s Tax Return in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1s furnished by C-CUBED to the Stockholder for such periods and pay any resulting Tax.

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 proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. C-CUBED, its Subsidiaries, and the Stockholders agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to C-CUBED and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Federal or the Stockholders’ Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give the other reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other so requests, C-CUBED or the Stockholders, as the case may be, shall allow the other to take possession of such books and records.

 

(b) Federal and the Stockholders further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

 

(c) Federal and the Stockholders further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to section 6043 of the Code and all Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.

All tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving C-CUBED or any of its Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, C-CUBED and its Subsidiaries shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

 

6.7.7 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 Stockholders when due, and each Stockholder will, at his or her own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Federal will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

 

6.8 Notification. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, C-CUBED shall promptly disclose to Parent and Federal in writing any material variances from the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 promptly upon discovery thereof, in the form of “Updated Schedules” delivered to Parent and Federal. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Parent and Federal shall promptly disclose to C-CUBED in writing any material variances from Parent and Federal representations and warranties contained in Article 4.

 

6.9 Future of the ESOP. C-CUBED’s Board of Directors will, by resolution, terminate the ESOP effective as of the Closing Date. Approximately 90% of the liquid assets of the ESOP will be distributed by the ESOP to its participants promptly after the Closing Date.

 

42


The remaining liquid assets of the ESOP will be distributed promptly after receipt of a letter of determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the ESOP forms a part of a qualified plan as of its termination. Any payments that the ESOP receives from any escrow arrangement provided under this Agreement will be distributed by the ESOP to its participants promptly following the later of the receipt of such letter of determination or the receipt of such payment. The request for such letter of determination from the Internal Revenue Service shall be submitted by an attorney jointly selected by Lugar and the trustee of the ESOP no later than 30 days after the Closing. Parent, Federal and C-CUBED will take whatever actions are necessary to amend the ESOP in the manner required by the Internal Revenue Service in order to secure such a favorable letter of determination.

45


for the purpose of this Section 7.2.11 that conditions that generally affect the industries in which C-CUBED participates or the economy of the United States as a whole (including without limitation a general loss of consumer confidence) shall neither constitute nor be taken into account in determining whether there has occurred an C-CUBED Material Adverse Effect, provided, however, that an adverse change in the financial or legal condition, business or prospects of C-CUBED that is specific to C-CUBED (including without limitation the actual or threatened cancellation or reduction of a program) may be taken into account in determining whether there has occurred an C-CUBED Material Adverse Effect.

 

7.2.12 No Outstanding Options, Warrants, Etc.. There shall be no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, conversion rights or other rights, securities, agreements or commitments obligating C-CUBED to issue, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of its capital stock, or any securities or obligations convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of its capital stock.

47


7.3.6 Payment of Purchase Price.

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

9.1 Termination Events. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transaction abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date, provided, however, that upon any such termination the surviving obligations of the Parties under the Letter of Intent, including the obligations of confidentiality and non-solicitation, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Intent:

 

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and C-CUBED;

 

(b) by Parent if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of C-CUBED or any Stockholder and such breach would have a C-CUBED Material Adverse Effect and such breach has not been cured within ten business days after written notice to C-CUBED (provided, that neither Parent

 

48


nor Federal is in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2 hereof, as the case may be, will not be satisfied;

 

(c) by Parent, if C-CUBED, its board of directors or any Stockholder shall have (i) withdrawn, modified or amended in any material respect the approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or (ii) taken any public position inconsistent with its approval or recommendation, including, without limitation, having failed (without the consent of Parent) after a reasonable period of time to reject or disapprove any Acquisition Proposal (or after a reasonable period of time to recommend to its shareholders such rejection or disapproval);

 

(d) by C-CUBED, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Parent or Federal and such breach has not been cured within ten business days after written notice to Parent (provided, that C-CUBED is not in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3.1 or Section 7.3.2 hereof, as the case may be, will not be satisfied;

 

(e) by C-CUBED, if C-CUBED accepts an Acquisition Proposal for any reason, including pursuant to a good-faith determination by its board of directors, after consulting with counsel, that not to accept the Acquisition Proposal would constitute a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty under the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia;

 

(f) by C-CUBED, if Parent or Federal or their respective boards of directors shall have withdrawn, modified or amended in any material respect the approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein (provided, that neither C-CUBED nor any Stockholder is in material breach of the terms of this Agreement);

 

(g) by any party hereto if: (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the Transaction; (ii) there shall be any final action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Transaction by any Governmental Entity which would make consummation of the Transaction illegal or which would prohibit Parent’s or Federal’s ownership or operation of all or a material portion of the stock or assets of C-CUBED, or compel Parent or Federal to dispose of or hold separate all or a material portion of the business or assets of C-CUBED or Parent or Federal as a result of the Transaction; or

 

(h) by any party hereto if the Transaction shall not have been consummated by October 16, 2003, provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(h) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such date.

 

9.2 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered by hand sent via a reputable nationwide courier service or

9.3 Entire Agreement. Unless otherwise herein specifically provided, this Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Letter of Intent.

9.4 Assignability. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be assigned or delegated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the written consent of all parties hereto.

 

9.5 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

9.6 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that damages alone may not adequately compensate a party for violation by another party of this Agreement. Accordingly, in addition to all other remedies that may be available hereunder or under applicable law, any party shall have the right to any equitable relief that may be appropriate to remedy a breach or threatened breach by any other party hereunder, including the right to enforce specifically the terms of this Agreement by obtaining injunctive relief in respect of any violation or non-performance hereof.

 

9.7 Settlement of Disputes. Any and all controversies, disputes, or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any part hereof, including, without limitation, the meaning, applicability, or scope of this Section 9.7 and the performance, breach, interpretation, meaning, construction, or enforceability of this Agreement, or any portion hereof, and all claims for rescission or fraud in the inducement of this Agreement, shall, at the request of any party, be settled or resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the commercial rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) for the resolution of commercial disputes.

51


registered or certified mail with a copy to the AAA. The parties consent and agree to have any such arbitration proceedings heard in Arlington, Virginia. The arbitration shall take place regardless of whether any party to the dispute or controversy fails or refuses to participate. The arbitrators shall apply Virginia substantive law and federal substantive law where state law is preempted. The arbitrators shall have the power to grant all legal and equitable remedies and award compensatory damages provided by Virginia law. The arbitrators shall prepare in writing and provide to the parties an award including factual findings and the reasons on which the decision is based. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

2.3 Assumption of Specified Obligations. At the Closing, Acquisition Sub shall agree to assume and perform after the Closing when and as they become due the obligations and liabilities of Arrow related to the Business, including the following (the “Dagger Obligations”):

The parties to this Agreement intend that any Liability of Arrow that is based on, or arises out of, facts or circumstances that existed prior to the Closing Date and is not primarily related to the Business shall not be assumed by Acquisition Sub and shall not be or become a Dagger Obligation except as expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Liability of Arrow that is not primarily related to the Business shall be allocated or divided between the Business, on the one hand, and the business and operations being acquired by Crossbow and Merger Sub, on the other hand, unless expressly provided herein.

 

The parties understand that Arrow will not assume the liabilities of the Dagger Subsidiaries, but that such liabilities shall be retained by the Dagger Subsidiaries.

 

2.4 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Acquisition Sub for the Dagger Assets shall be Four Hundred Fifteen Million Dollars ($415,000,000), subject to adjustment as provided below in Section 2.8. The payment of the Purchase Price shall be made in immediately available funds wired to one or more accounts designated by Arrow or by such other method as may be agreed by Arrow and Acquisition Sub.

 

2.5 Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Dagger Assets (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Arnold & Porter LLP in McLean, Virginia, commencing at 9 a.m. local time on such date that is the first business day immediately following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing Date”).

 

2.6 Instruments of Transfer. Arrow shall effect the transfer of the Dagger Assets and the Dagger Obligations to Acquisition Sub at the Closing by such bills of sale, assignments, assumptions and other instruments of transfer as Acquisition Sub or its counsel deem necessary or appropriate to transfer full legal and beneficial title to the Dagger Assets free and clear of all Security Interests whatsoever except Permitted Encumbrances, and to transfer full responsibility for the Dagger Obligations. As appropriate, such documents shall contain customary warranties and covenants of title and shall be in form and substance acceptable to Acquisition Sub and its counsel.

 

2.7 Additional Actions. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, (a) at the reasonable request of Acquisition Sub, Arrow shall execute and deliver to Acquisition Sub such other instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such action as Acquisition Sub may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to transfer, convey and assign to Acquisition Sub and to confirm Acquisition Sub’s title to any of assets primarily utilized in connection with the performance and technical and administrative support of the Business inadvertently left in the control or possession of Arrow and all instruments, undertakings or other documents and take such other action as Acquisition Sub may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to have Arrow fully assume and be liable for any Liabilities of Arrow that are not Dagger Obligations and that were inadvertently assumed by Acquisition Sub, and (b) at the reasonable request of Arrow, Acquisition Sub shall execute and deliver to Arrow such other instruments of transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such action as Arrow may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to transfer, convey and assign to Arrow and to confirm Arrow’s title to any of the Excluded Assets inadvertently transferred to Acquisition Sub and all instruments, undertakings or other

 

10


documents and take such other action as Arrow may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to have Acquisition Sub fully assume and be liable for any Dagger Obligations that were inadvertently retained by Arrow.

 

Prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, if either Crossbow or Acquisition Sub shall determine that an asset or liability of the Business was inappropriately included in or excluded from the definition of either the Dagger Assets or the Dagger Obligations, the party that makes such determination shall so advise the other party and Crossbow and Acquisition Sub shall in good faith endeavor to reach agreement with respect to such asset or liability.

 

If a dispute arises under this Section 2.7, then within three (3) business days after a written request by either party, Federal’s President and Crossbow’s President of U.S. Operations shall promptly confer to resolve the dispute. If such persons cannot resolve such dispute, or either one of them determines that they are not making reasonable progress toward resolution of the dispute within the five (5) business day period immediately following the delivery of the written notice described above, then such dispute shall be settled by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a single arbitrator, who shall be an attorney expert in the area of mergers and acquisitions, selected by Crossbow and Acquisition Sub (or, if the parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator within five (5) business days of commencing arbitration, such an expert selected by the Association). Judgment upon the award rendered under any such arbitration may be entered in any Court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

2.8 Adjustment to Purchase Price

 

2.8.1 Preparation of Closing Balance Sheet. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date (but not later than 60 days thereafter), Arrow shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall deliver to Acquisition Sub a Closing Balance Sheet for the Business as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

 

2.8.2 Review of Closing Balance Sheet. Acquisition Sub, upon receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, shall (a) review the Closing Balance Sheet and (b) to the extent Acquisition Sub may deem necessary, make reasonable inquiry of Arrow and its accountants, relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet. Acquisition Sub and its employees and advisors shall have full access upon prior written notice and during normal business hours to the books, papers and records of Arrow and its accountants (if any are used), relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet in connection with such inquiry and the preparation of any objections thereto (“Objections”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, Acquisition Sub unless Acquisition Sub shall have notified Arrow in writing of any Objections thereto within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet. Acquisition Sub shall make the Dagger Employees and books and records of the Business available to Arrow as necessary for Arrow to prepare the Closing Balance Sheet.

 

2.8.3 Disputes. In the event of Objections, Arrow shall have 20 days to review and respond to such Objections, and Acquisition Sub and Arrow shall attempt to resolve

 

11


the differences underlying such Objections within 20 days following completion of Arrow’s review of such Objections. Disputes between Acquisition Sub and Arrow which cannot be resolved by them within such 20-day period shall be referred no later than such 20th day for decision to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or to a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually selected by the Acquisition Sub and Arrow (the “Auditor”) (which firm shall not be any of (a) the independent public accountants of Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub, (b) the independent public accountants used by Arrow prior to the Closing Date and (c) the independent public accountants of Crossbow), who shall act as arbitrator and determine, based solely on presentations by Acquisition Sub and Arrow and only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Balance Sheet requires adjustment. The Auditor shall deliver its written determination to Acquisition Sub and Arrow no later than the 30th day after the remaining differences underlying such Objections are referred to the Auditor, or such longer period of time as the Auditor reasonably determines is necessary. The Auditor’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The fees and disbursements of the Auditor shall be allocated equally between Acquisition Sub and Arrow. Acquisition Sub and Arrow shall make readily available to the Auditor all relevant information, books and records and any work papers relating to the Closing Balance Sheet and all other items reasonably requested by the Auditor. In no event may the Auditor’s resolution of any difference be for an amount which is outside the range of Acquisition Sub’s and Arrow’s disagreement.

 

2.8.4 Final Closing Balance Sheet. The Closing Balance Sheet shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the earliest of (a) Acquisition Sub’s failure to object thereto within the period permitted under Section 2.8.2, (b) the agreement between Acquisition Sub and Arrow with respect thereto and (c) the decision by the Auditor with respect to any disputes under Section 2.8.3. The Closing Balance Sheet, as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of the parties or decision of the Auditor, when final and binding is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet.”

 

2.8.5 Adjustments to the Purchase Price. As soon as practicable (but not more than five business days) after the date on which the Final Closing Balance Sheet shall have been determined in accordance with this Section 2.8, (a) Arrow shall pay to Acquisition Sub in immediately available funds the amount, if any, by which the Net Tangible Asset Value on the Final Closing Balance Sheet is less than $50,000,000 (Fifty Million Dollars), or (b) Acquisition Sub shall pay to Arrow in immediately available funds the amount, if any, by which the Net Tangible Asset Value on the Final Closing Balance Sheet is greater than $60,000,000 (Sixty Million Dollars); provided, that no payment made pursuant to this Section 2.8.5 shall exceed the amount of $10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollars). Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.8.5 shall constitute an immediate adjustment of the Purchase Price in such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the existence or possible existence of any adjustment to the Purchase Price, Objection, pendency or resolution of any dispute pursuant to this Section 2.8 or any issue pertaining to the Closing Balance Sheet shall not in any way impact, hinder, prevent or otherwise delay Crossbow’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement.

Crossbow or Parent, as the case may be, shall promptly request that each person which has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with Crossbow or Parent, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives with respect to such Person’s consideration of a possible acquisition proposal to promptly return or destroy (which destruction Crossbow or Parent, as the case may be, shall request be certified in writing by such person) all confidential information heretofore furnished by Crossbow or Parent, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives to such person or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives.

 

6.2 Transition of Employees and Consultants. Within five (5) days prior to Closing, Arrow shall provide an updated Employee List, containing the name of each employee of the Business, and each person’s level title, role, starting date, annual salary and target bonus, together with a listing of the level of security clearance for such employees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all visits to any office of any Dagger Company will be coordinated and conducted so as to not be disruptive to the operations of such Dagger Company and to preserve the confidentiality of the Transaction. In addition, Arrow will facilitate meetings between Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub and the Dagger Companies’ significant customers so as to permit Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub to discuss the announced Transaction with such customers.

The parties acknowledge that Parent and Crossbow have previously executed a Confidentiality Agreement dated as of December 16, 2003 and that Parent and Arrow have previously executed a letter agreement regarding confidentiality dated January 7, 2004 (collectively, the “Confidentiality Agreements”), which Confidentiality Agreements shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms notwithstanding any termination or abandonment of this Agreement or the Merger.

 

6.6 Further Assurances

Subject to terms and conditions herein provided and to the fiduciary duties of the board of directors and officers or representatives of any party, each of the parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In case at any time any further action, including, without limitation, the obtaining of waivers and consents under any agreements, material contracts or leases and the execution and delivery of any licenses or sublicenses for any software, is necessary, proper or advisable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors or representatives of each party to this Agreement are hereby directed and authorized to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate all required action, except to the extent that greater efforts are required pursuant to Section 6.12.

 

6.6.2 Novation of Contracts; Subcontracting; Maintenance of Corporate Existence of Arrow. Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the novation of, or change of name with respect to, each Dagger Government Contract that may

 

17


require novation or a change of name under its terms or under applicable laws or regulations, and further agrees to provide all documentation necessary to effect each such novation or change of name, including all instruments, certifications, requests, legal opinions, audited financial statements, and other documents required by Part 42 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation to effect a novation of any contract with the United States Government. In particular and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Arrow shall continue to communicate with responsible officers of the United States Government from time to time as may be appropriate and permissible, to request speedy action on any and all requests for consent to novation or change of name. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arrow makes no representation or warranty that any such novation of, or change of name with respect to, any Dagger Government Contract will in fact be obtained.

 

With respect to each Dagger Government Contract that requires novation or a change of name, prior to such novation or change of name, Arrow will engage Acquisition Sub as subcontractor under such contract, agree to take all reasonable instruction from Acquisition Sub as Arrow’s conduct under such contract and promptly pay to Acquisition Sub the full amount of its receipts under such contract.

 

Arrow shall not terminate its existence until all of the Government Contracts of the Dagger Companies have either terminated or duly transferred to Acquisition Sub.

 

6.7 Tax Matters

 

6.7.1 Allocation of Purchase Price. Acquisition Sub and Arrow agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of Arrow assumed by Acquisition Sub to which the Dagger Assets are subject (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the Dagger Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) as shown on Schedule 6.7.1. Acquisition Sub and Arrow shall have prepared such allocation schedule in accordance with Code section 1060 and the Treasury regulations thereunder.

Arrow shall include the income of the Dagger Subsidiaries (including any deferred items triggered into income by Reg. § 1.1502-13 and any excess loss account taken into income under Reg. § 1.1502-19) on Arrow’s consolidated federal income Tax Returns for all periods through the Closing Date and pay any federal income Taxes attributable to such income. For all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, Arrow shall cause the Dagger Subsidiaries to join in Arrow’s consolidated federal income tax return and, in jurisdictions requiring separate reporting from Arrow, to file separate company state and local income tax returns. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with prior practice, except as required by a change in applicable law.

 

6.7.3 Audits. Arrow shall allow Parent and its counsel to participate, at Parent’s expense, in any audit of Arrow’s consolidated federal income Tax Returns to the extent that such returns related to any Dagger Subsidiary.

Arrow and Crossbow agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Arrow relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give Acquisition Sub reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Acquisition Sub so requests, allow Acquisition Sub to take possession of such books and records.

 

(b) Acquisition Sub and Arrow further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

 

(c) Acquisition Sub and Arrow further agree, upon request, to provide any other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to section 6043 of the Code and all Treasury Department Regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

6.7.5 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration (and any penalties or interest relating thereto) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by Parent when due, and all other Taxes and fees (and any penalties or interest relating thereto) shall be paid by Arrow or Crossbow when due. To the extent that Arrow and Crossbow are required by law to remit sales taxes to any Governmental Entity, Parent shall pay to Arrow or Crossbow all sales taxes (and any penalties or interest relating thereto) incurred in connection with this Agreement when due, which Arrow or Crossbow, as the case may be, shall remit timely to the appropriate Government Entities. Should any Government Entity adjust the sales tax (or any penalties or interest relating thereto) incurred in connection with this Agreement by any means, including by audit or assessment, Parent shall pay to Arrow or Crossbow such adjustment when due, which Arrow or Crossbow, as the case may be, shall remit to the appropriate Government Entities.

Arrow agrees that it shall, forthwith after receipt after the Closing, transfer and deliver to Acquisition Sub any cash or other property that Arrow may receive in respect of such Dagger Receivables or on account of the Dagger Work-In-Process, and any mail, checks or other documents received by Arrow relating to any of the Dagger Assets or Dagger Obligations transferred to Acquisition Sub hereunder, such cash, property, mail, checks and documents to be delivered in the form and condition in which received, except for the opening of any envelope or package. Arrow shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Acquisition Sub in the collection of the Dagger Receivables and all amounts receivable on account of the Dagger Work-In-Process after the Closing to the extent requested by Acquisition Sub to do so.

25


representations, warranties and obligations hereunder in any material respect; or (iii) there shall have been a breach by Arrow of any of its covenants or agreements hereunder such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2.2 would be incapable of being satisfied by the Final Date, and Arrow has not cured such breach within ten (10) business days after notice by Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub thereof; provided that none of Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub have breached any of their respective representations, warranties and obligations hereunder in any material respect; and, provided, further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured;

 

(c) by Arrow, if (i) any representation or warranty of Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub set forth in this Agreement shall have been materially untrue when made (ii) any representation or warranty of Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub set forth in this Agreement shall have become untrue such that the condition set forth in Section 7.3.1 would be incapable of being satisfied by the Final Date; provided, that Arrow has not breached any of its representations, warranties and obligations hereunder in any material respect; or (iii) there shall have been a breach by Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub of any of their respective covenants or agreements hereunder such that the condition set forth in Section 7.3.2 would be incapable of being satisfied by the Final Date, and Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub, as the case may be, has not cured such breach within ten (10) business days after notice by Arrow thereof; provided that Arrow has not breached any of its representations, warranties and obligations hereunder in any material respect; and, provided, further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured;

26


in and pursuant to the Merger Agreement) (the “Final Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(g) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such date.

 

8.2 Notice and Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement under Section 8.1 above shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice of the terminating party to the other parties hereto.

No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreements, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

 

8.3 Break-up Fee. If Arrow pays a “break-up” or similar fee to Crossbow, Crossbow shall immediately remit to Parent an amount equal to one-third of such fee. Crossbow hereby covenants with Parent that should Crossbow become entitled to receive a “break-up” or similar fee from Arrow, it will use its best efforts to collect such fee from Arrow, timely and in full. Parent shall be subrogated to Crossbow to the extent of one-third of any such fee to which Crossbow becomes entitled. In addition, if Crossbow becomes entitled under the Merger Agreement to reimbursement of expenses, Crossbow shall make payment to Parent as follows: (a) if Crossbow has expenses greater than $3,333,333, Crossbow shall promptly pay Parent’s expenses up to $1,666,667; and (b) if Crossbow has expenses of less than $3,333,333, Crossbow shall promptly pay Parent’s expenses up to the amount that is the difference between $5,000,000 and Crossbow’s expenses. For the purposes of this Section 8.3, “expenses” shall mean Crossbow’s and Parent’s documented out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’, accountants’, financial advisors’ fees and any fees incurred by Crossbow and Parent in connection with the Transaction and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the filing of the Schedule TO and the Proxy/Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the filing of (a) the Notification and Report Forms with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice under the HSR Act and the Defense Production Act and (b) the premerger notification and report forms required under the competition laws of Germany. Crossbow acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Crossbow fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim that results in a final judgment against Crossbow for the amounts set forth in this Section 8.3, Crossbow shall pay to Parent its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 8.3 at the base rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made plus 2%. Parent and Crossbow acknowledge and agree that payment of the fees and other amounts described in this Section 8.3 shall be in lieu of damages except in the event of willful breach.

8.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment. Unless otherwise herein specifically provided, this Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein (including the Ancillary Agreements) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, exclusive of the Confidentiality Agreements. Each party hereto acknowledges that, in entering this Agreement and completing the transactions contemplated hereby, such party is not relying on any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement not expressly stated in this Agreement or in the agreements among the parties contemplated by or referred to herein (including the Ancillary Agreements). This Agreement, and such other agreements among the parties contemplated by or referred to herein (including the Ancillary Agreements) may not be amended, except in a writing, signed by all parties to this Agreement, whether or not such party to this Agreement is a party to such other agreement. Arrow may not waive any of its rights hereunder without the written consent of Crossbow, which

 

29


consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No party hereto shall amend the Merger Agreement without the consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

8.6 Assignability. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be assigned or delegated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the written consent of all parties hereto.

 

8.7 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

8.8 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that damages alone may not adequately compensate a party for violation by another party of this Agreement. Accordingly, in addition to all other remedies that may be available hereunder or under applicable law, any party shall have the right to any equitable relief that may be appropriate to remedy a breach or threatened breach by any other party hereunder, including the right to enforce specifically the terms of this Agreement by obtaining injunctive relief in respect of any violation or non-performance hereof.

 

8.9 Governing Law This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.

 

8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signed counterparts of this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission, and such facsimile or other electronically transmitted counterpart shall constitute an original for all purposes binding against the party who so delivers its counterpart; provided, however, that such party shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that original signed counterparts of this Agreement are delivered to all other parties by overnight courier service within 2 business days of the date of this Agreement.

 

8.11 Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties of Arrow, Parent, Federal and Acquisition Sub contained in this Agreement, or any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall terminate at the Closing, and only those covenants that by their express terms survive the Closing and this Article 8 shall survive Closing.

 

8.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will not confer any rights upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

 

8.13 No Waiver. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing to the contrary; (i) the failure of any party at any time to require performance by the other of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect such party’s right thereafter to enforce the same; (ii) no waiver by any party of any default by any other shall be valid unless in writing and acknowledged by an

 

30


authorized representative of the non-defaulting party, and no such waiver shall be taken or held to be a waiver by such party of any other preceding or subsequent default; and (iii) no extension of time granted by any party for the performance of any obligation or act by any other party shall be deemed to be an extension of time for the performance of any other obligation or act hereunder.

Appendix A

 

A1 Corporate Status. Arrow is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with the requisite corporate power to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Except as set forth on Schedule A1, Arrow is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the character of the properties owned or held under lease by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes qualification necessary, except where failure to be so qualified would be immaterial. Schedule A1 provides a list of the states and other jurisdictions in which (i) any Dagger Subsidiary is qualified to conduct business, (ii) any Dagger Facility is located or (iii) any Dagger Employee conducts business on behalf of the Business (excluding any conduct of business or performance of services at client locations).

 

A2 Subsidiaries. R.M. Vredenburg & Co. and Karcher Group, Inc. constitute all of Arrow’s Subsidiaries involved with the Business (each a “Dagger Subsidiary,” and, collectively, the “Dagger Subsidiaries”). Arrow owns all of the capital stock and other equity interests of the Dagger Subsidiaries, and the date on which Arrow acquired or organized each such entity is listed opposite the name of such entity on such schedule. There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, conversion rights or other rights, securities, agreements or commitments obligating any Dagger Subsidiary to issue, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of its capital stock or other equity interests, or any securities or obligations convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of its capital stock or other equity interests. There are no voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which any of Arrow or any Dagger Subsidiary (Arrow and each Dagger Subsidiary each individually a “Dagger Company,” and, collectively, the “Dagger Companies”) is a party with respect to the voting of the shares of the capital stock or other equity interests of any Dagger Subsidiary and no Dagger Subsidiary is a party to, or bound by, any outstanding restrictions, options or other obligations, agreements or commitments to sell, repurchase, redeem or acquire any of its securities. Except as set forth on Schedule A2, each Dagger Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the character of the properties owned or held under lease by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes qualification necessary, except where failure to be so qualified would be immaterial.

 

A3 Authority for Agreement; Noncontravention

 

A3.1 Authority. Arrow has the corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent of its obligations hereunder. Arrow’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and its consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by its board of directors and no other corporate proceedings on its part are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby have been duly executed and delivered by Arrow and constitute valid and binding obligations of Arrow, enforceable against Arrow in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the qualifications that enforcement of the rights and remedies created hereby and thereby is subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws of general application

 

A-1


affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (c) the availability of specific performance or other equitable or legal remedies specified herein.

 

A3.2 No Conflict. Except as set forth on Schedule A3.2, none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and Ancillary Agreements, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will (a) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the charter documents or by-laws of any Dagger Company or (b) with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in any right to accelerate or result in the creation of any Security Interest pursuant to, or right of termination under, any provision of any Dagger Material Contract or any contract listed on Schedule A16.1 (or to the Knowledge of Arrow, any other contract, note, mortgage, indenture, lease, instrument or other agreement), Permit, concession, grant, judgment, order, decree, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation to which any Dagger Company is a party (and in each case which creates or gives rise to a Dagger Obligation) or by which any of the Dagger Assets or the assets or properties of any Dagger Subsidiary are bound, or which is applicable to any Dagger Company, any Dagger Assets or any of the assets or properties of any Dagger Subsidiary. Except to the extent that novation is required as further described in Section 6.6.2 above, except for filings that may be required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), the Exon-Florio Amendment to Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 or the competition laws of Germany, except as set forth on Schedule A3.2 and except for such consents, authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which if not obtained or made would be immaterial, no authorization, consent or approval of, or filing with or notice to, any United States or foreign governmental or public body or authority (each a “Governmental Entity”) is necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

A4 Financial Statements. Attached as Schedule A4 are a consolidated balance sheet for the Reported Business as of December 31, 2003 and statement of operations for the year then ended. Collectively, the financial statements referred to in the immediately preceding sentence are sometimes referred to herein as the “Dagger Financial Statements” and the Reported Business’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is referred to herein as the “Dagger Balance Sheet.” The Dagger Balance Sheet (including any related notes) fairly presents in all material respects the Reported Business’s financial position as of its date, and the statement of operations included in the Dagger Financial Statements (including any related notes) fairly presents in all material respects the Reported Business’s results of operations for the period therein set forth, each having been prepared and compiled in accordance with GAAP, it being understood that the Dagger Financial Statements have been prepared on a pro forma basis, reflecting the separation of the Reported Business from Arrow. “Reported Business” means the “Defense and Intelligence Group” of Arrow (excluding any business performed in Canada by a Dagger Company) together with the business of the Dagger Subsidiaries (including any federal civilian, state and local engagements of such Dagger Subsidiaries) on a consolidated basis. To the Knowledge of Arrow, there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of Arrow’s internal controls which could adversely affect Arrow’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data relating to the Business. To the Knowledge of Arrow, there is no fraud relating to the Business, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Arrow’s internal controls.

 

A-2


A5 Absence of Material Adverse Changes. Except as set forth on Schedule A5, since December 31, 2003 (the “Balance Sheet Date”), Arrow has not suffered a Dagger Material Adverse Effect, and, to the Knowledge of Arrow, there has not occurred or arisen any event, condition or state of facts of any character that would reasonably be expected to result in a Dagger Material Adverse Effect.

 

A6 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule A6, the Reported Business has no Liabilities that are not fully reflected or provided for on, or disclosed in the notes to, the balance sheets included in the Dagger Financial Statements, except (a) Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Balance Sheet Date, none of which individually or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to be material, (b) Liabilities permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, (c) Liabilities not within the Knowledge of Arrow that are not required to be disclosed by Arrow under GAAP, (d) Liabilities for future performance under contracts, and (e) Liabilities expressly disclosed on the Schedules delivered hereunder.

 

A7 Compliance with Applicable Law, Charter and By-Laws. Each Dagger Company has all requisite licenses, permits and certificates from all Governmental Entities necessary to conduct the Business as currently conducted, and to own, lease and operate their respective properties used in the Business in the manner currently held and operated (collectively, “Permits”), except as set forth on Schedule A7 and except for any Permits the absence of which, either singly or in the aggregate, is immaterial and would not reasonably be expected to have a material effect or prevent or materially delay the Closing. All of such Permits are in full force and effect. Each Dagger Company is in compliance in all material respects with the terms and conditions related to such Permits. There are no proceedings in progress, pending or, to the Knowledge of Arrow, threatened, which may result in revocation, cancellation, suspension, or any materially adverse modification of any of such Permits. The Business is not being, and has not been, conducted in violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation, rule, judgment, decree, order, Permit, concession, grant or other authorization of any Governmental Entity. No Dagger Company is in default or violation of any provision of its charter documents or its by-laws where such default or violation is material.

 

A8 Litigation and Proceedings. Except for any claim, action, suit or proceeding set forth on Schedule A8, (a) there is no investigation by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Business pending or, to the Knowledge of Arrow, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity notified any Dagger Company an intention to conduct the same; (b) there is no claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Arrow, threatened against or involving any Dagger Company and involving the Business, any of the Dagger Assets or any of the assets or properties of any Dagger Subsidiary, at law or in equity, or before any arbitrator or Governmental Entity; and (c) there are no judgments, decrees, injunctions or orders of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against any Dagger Company (i) affecting the Business, the Dagger Assets or the assets or properties of any Dagger Subsidiary or (ii) which create a Dagger Obligation in each case to the extent that the resolution of such dispute or claim will be binding on Acquisition Sub or a Dagger Subsidiary or give rise to a Dagger Obligation.

 

A-3


A9 Tax Matters

 

A9.1 Filing of Returns. Each Dagger Subsidiary has timely filed all Tax Returns that it was required to file, and Arrow has timely filed all Tax Returns with respect to the Business that it was required to file in each case taking into account all validly obtained extensions. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes owed (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) by any Dagger Subsidiary, or by Arrow with respect to the Business, have been paid. To the extent that any Dagger Subsidiary has any Liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) for Taxes due and payable by Arrow or any member of Arrow’s consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group, such Taxes have been paid. No Dagger Subsidiary is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim relating to the Business has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where any Dagger Company does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction, which claims have not been resolved. There are no Security Interests on any of the Dagger Assets or on any assets of any Dagger Subsidiary that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax, other than Permitted Encumbrances.

 

A9.2 Payment of Taxes. Each Dagger Subsidiary, and with respect to the Business, Arrow, has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party with respect to the Business.

 

A9.3 Assessments or Disputes. To the Knowledge of Arrow, no Tax authority proposes to assess any additional Taxes upon any Dagger Subsidiary or upon Arrow with respect to the Business, in each case for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed. Except as described in written materials delivered to Acquisition Sub, there is no dispute or claim concerning any Tax Liability of any Dagger Subsidiary, or of Arrow with respect to the Business, either (a) claimed or raised in writing by any Tax authority or (b) to the Knowledge of Arrow, otherwise claimed or raised by any Tax authority, in each case to the extent that resolution of such dispute or claim will be binding upon Acquisition Sub or a Dagger Subsidiary after the Closing.

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

 

2.01 Revolving Loans and Term Loan.

 

(a) Revolving Loans.

 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein, provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Effective Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

 

(ii) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, upon prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments by up to FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($50,000,000) with additional Revolving Commitments from any existing Revolving Lender or new Revolving Commitments from any other Person selected by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided that:

 

(A) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5 million and in integral multiples of $5 million in excess thereof;

 

26


(B) no Default shall be continuing at the time of any such increase;

 

(C) no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment and any such decision whether to increase its Revolving Commitment shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion;

 

(D) any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such joinder documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent; and

 

(E) the Borrower will provide such supporting resolutions, legal opinions and other items as the Administrative Agent may request in its reasonable discretion.

 

In connection with any such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, Schedule 2.01 shall be revised by the Administrative Agent to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and distributed to the Lenders.

 

(b) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars in a single advance on the Effective Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein, provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Effective Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

 

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

 

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of a Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or

 

27


continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

 

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.03 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01 and Section 5.02), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by no later than 3:00 p.m. (or, if the Loan Notice is not timely delivered to the Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice, then either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

 

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and, during the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.

 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

 

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Loans and ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Term Loan.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the

 

28


account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

 

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

 

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date.

 

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

 

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws or one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to borrowers generally;

 

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial face amount less than $100,000 in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;

 

(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

 

29


(E) a default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

 

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

 

(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

 

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Extension Letters of Credit.

 

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

 

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from the Administrative Agent, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall

 

30


be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.03 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

 

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

 

31


(ii) Each Revolving Lender (including the Revolving Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

 

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

 

(iv) Until a Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

 

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d) Repayment of Participations.

 

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such

 

32


payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

 

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other Loan Document;

 

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

 

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

 

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

 

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively

 

33


deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

 

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit unless the L/C Issuer is prevented or prohibited from so paying as a result of any order or directive of any court or other Governmental Authority. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). Sections 2.05 and 9.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 9.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, deposit accounts at Bank of America and shall bear interest based upon investment of the Cash Collateral as agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

 

34


(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

 

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit (other than any portion of the face amount of such Letter of Credit that has been permanently reduced)). Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

 

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer, for its own account, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount specified in the Fee Letter, payable on the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit (other than any portion of the face amount of such Letter of Credit that has been permanently reduced)). Such fronting fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

 

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

 

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit and shall be obligated for all other obligations of such Subsidiary under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

 

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

 

(a) Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any

 

35


time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan or a Quoted Rate Swing Line Loan, as the Borrower may elect. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

 

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) whether such Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan or Quoted Rate Swing Line Loan. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

 

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

 

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.03. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative

 

36


Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 

(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.03. No such purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(d) Repayment of Participations.

 

(i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line

 

37


Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until a Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 

2.05 Prepayments.

 

(a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.

 

(i) Revolving Loans and Term Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans and the Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any such prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); and (D) any prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied ratably to the remaining principal amortization payments.

If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

The Borrower shall prepay the Loans as hereafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of each Disposition (other than (A) sales of government contracts that are required by law or by any government agency to be sold as a result of an organizational conflict of interest in an aggregate amount of up to $10 million in any fiscal year and (B) the sale of the Specified Real Property) and Involuntary Disposition to the extent (x) such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested in Property useful in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries within 180 days of the date of such Disposition or such Involuntary Disposition and (y) the aggregate amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not reinvested in accordance with the foregoing clause (x) shall exceed $1,000,000 in any fiscal year.

The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.

 

2.11 Evidence of Debt.

 

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit 2.11(a) (a “Revolving Note”), (ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, be in the form of Exhibit 2.11(b) (a “Swing Line Note”) and (iii) in the case of the Term Loan, be in the form of Exhibit 2.11(c) (a “Term Note”).

In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

2.12 Payments Generally.

 

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

 

(b) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following

 

42


Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article III) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

 

(d) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

 

(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

 

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(e) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the

 

43


Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(f) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

 

(g) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

 

2.13 Sharing of Payments.

 

If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it (but not including any amounts applied by the Swing Line Lender to outstanding Swing Line Loans), any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

ARTICLE III

 

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01 Taxes.

 

(a) Subject to Section 11.15, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, back-up withholding taxes imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, (i) is organized, (ii) maintains a lending office or (iii) was previously organized or previously maintained a lending office to the extent such taxes relate to the period the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, was previously organized or previously maintained a lending office in such jurisdiction (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Loan Party shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty days after the date of such payment, such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

 

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

 

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender and (ii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection (c) shall be made within thirty days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.

 

(d) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01, then such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment that may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

45


3.02 Illegality.

 

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

 

If the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or that the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

 

(a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law (in each case after the Closing Date), or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of the overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements utilized, as to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

 

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof (in each case after the Closing Date), or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations

 

46


hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

 

(c) The Lenders agree to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Closing Date entitling the Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section 3.04 as promptly as practicable, provided, however, that no Lender shall be entitled to claim any compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section if such Lender fails to provide such notice to the Borrower within 180 days of the date such Lender becomes aware of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim for such compensation.

 

3.05 Compensation for Losses.

 

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

 

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

 

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of:

 

(i) a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.16; or

 

(ii) an assignment by Bank of America pursuant to Section 11.07(b) as part of the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans during the 180-day period immediately following the Effective Date, provided that Bank of America agrees to use reasonable efforts to reduce the breakage costs payable by the Borrower in connection therewith (including, without limitation, to the extent reasonably practical, closing such assignments at the end of Interest Periods of outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans);

 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (but specifically excluding any loss of anticipated profits or Applicable Margin). The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

 

47


3.06 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

 

(a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

 

(b) Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 (including in the circumstances contemplated by Section 11.15(a)(iii)) or 3.04, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.16.

 

3.07 Survival.

 

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all Obligations.

The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws (including fraudulent conveyance laws) or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

 

4.02 Obligations Unconditional.

 

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such

 

48


Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

 

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

 

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements shall be done or omitted;

 

(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

 

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

 

(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

 

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or any Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

 

4.03 Reinstatement.

 

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

 

49


4.04 Certain Additional Waivers.

 

Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.

 

4.05 Remedies.

 

The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

4.06 Rights of Contribution.

 

The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of such Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights of contribution until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated.

 

4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

 

The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

10.01 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

 

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

 

(b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article X and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

 

10.02 Delegation of Duties.

 

The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

10.03 Liability of Administrative Agent.

 

No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable to any Lender or participant for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to

 

81


ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

 

10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

 

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 5.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

 

10.05 Notice of Default.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article IX; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

 

10.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.

 

Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial

 

82


and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

 

10.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

 

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 

10.08 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.

 

Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

 

83


10.09 Successor Administrative Agent.

 

The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower; provided that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender and the respective terms “Administrative Agent”, “L/C Issuer” and “Swing Line Lender” shall mean such successor administrative agent, Letter of Credit issuer and swing line lender, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties in such capacities shall be terminated without any other further act or deed on its behalf. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date thirty days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

 

10.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations (other than obligations under Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements to which the Administrative Agent is not a party) that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative

Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

10.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

 

The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

 

(a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) on the Collateral Termination Date, (iii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition or other disposition of Property permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iv) as approved in accordance with Section 11.01;

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

All telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

 

11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

 

No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,

 

88


remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

11.04 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

 

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse Bank of America and BAS for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the due diligence and syndication of the Commitments and Loans (with a limitation on such due diligence and syndication expenses as agreed among Bank of America, BAS and the Borrower), (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs and costs and expenses in connection with the use of Intralinks, Inc. or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, and (c) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 11.04 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.

 

11.05 Indemnification by the Borrower.

 

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, trustees, advisors, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments and suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, and all costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs and settlement costs) incurred in connection therewith, which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the Transaction, (b) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (c) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (d) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (e) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,

 

89


demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are (i) determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee or (ii) asserted by or awarded in favor of any other Indemnified Party. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee (it being understood that this sentence does not affect the confidentiality obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 11.08). Neither any Indemnitee nor any Loan Party shall have any liability for any indirect, punitive or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 11.05 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

 

11.06 Payments Set Aside.

 

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

 

11.07 Successors and Assigns.

 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C

 

90


Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (g) of this Section) with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loans and $1,000,000 in the case of an assignment of Term Loans unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitments, and rights and obligations with respect thereto, assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans or the Term Loan; (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Revolving Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 11.04 and 11.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

 

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. Upon receipt of a duly executed Assignment and Assumption, the processing and recordation fee referenced in Section 11.07(b), and the tax forms, if any, required to be delivered pursuant to Section 11.15, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

 

91


(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a) (i) through (vii) of the first proviso to Section 11.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

 

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 11.15 as though it were a Lender.

 

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

(g) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a Lender; (c) an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent (and in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender), and (ii) in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

 

Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

 

92


Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered, advised or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers, advises or manages a Lender.

 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon thirty days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

 

11.08 Confidentiality.

 

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to any other Lender (in its capacity as a Lender), (b) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives and to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) under any Swap Contract relating to Loans outstanding under this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (c) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (d) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (e) to any other party hereto, (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section (and as to which the Borrower is an express third party beneficiary), to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary, Arrow, Crossbow or any of their respective businesses, the Acquired Business or the Transaction, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

93


11.09 Set-off.

 

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and any Affiliate of any Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Each Lender agrees that any amounts it receives pursuant to this Section 11.09 shall be subject to Section 2.13.

 

11.10 Interest Rate Limitation.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

11.11 Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

11.12 Integration.

 

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the “market flex” provisions in the Fee Letter) shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

 

94


11.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

 

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 

11.14 Severability.

 

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

11.15 Tax Forms.

 

(a) (i) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Internal Revenue Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender.

 

(ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver

 

95


to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (in the reasonable exercise of their discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

 

(iii) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 3.01 (A) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 11.15(a) or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.15(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 11.15(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 11.15(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding.

 

(iv) The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 11.15(a).

 

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to back-up withholding tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. If any Lender fails to deliver such forms upon request, or if the IRS informs the Administrative Agent or the Borrower that any Lender is subject to backup withholding tax, then the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may withhold from any payment to the applicable Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, without reduction.

 

(c) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 

96


11.16 Replacement of Lenders.

 

Under any circumstances set forth herein providing that the Borrower shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party to this Agreement, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitment and outstanding Loans (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) pursuant to Section 11.07(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by the Borrower. Upon the making of any such assignment, (x) the Borrower shall pay in full any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05 and (y) the Borrower shall provide appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender as each may reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation to fund participation interests in any L/C Obligations or any Swing Line Loans then outstanding.

 

11.17 Governing Law.

 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

 

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.

 

11.18 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

 

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

97


11.19 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

 

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

 

11.20 Release of Liens.

 

The Administrative Agent shall:

 

(a) release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) on the Collateral Termination Date, (iii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition or other disposition of Property permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iv) as approved in accordance with Section 11.01;

 

(b) subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such Property that is permitted by Section 8.01(j); and
