Prior to the Closing Date, no party to this Agreement shall issue any press release or make any other public disclosures, announcements, statements or communications concerning this transaction or the contents of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section shall preclude any party from making any disclosures required by Law or applicable stock exchange rules or necessary and proper in conjunction with the filing of any Tax Return or other document required to be filed with any governmental body, authority or agency; provided, however, that the party required to make the release or statement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or statement in advance of such issuance.

7.7 Payments Received; Vendor Invoices

From and after the Closing, each of Sellers and Buyer shall hold and promptly transfer and deliver to the other party, from time to time, as and when received by such party, such part of any payments or property which properly belongs to another party, and shall account for such other party all such receipts.

22

7.8 Further Assurances

From time to time after the Closing Date, each of Sellers and Buyer shall, at its sole expense, execute and deliver, at the reasonable request of another party, such other and further instruments of sale, assignment, assumption, transfer and conveyance and take such other and further action as may be reasonably requested by the other party in order to vest in Buyer and put Buyer in possession of the Transferred Assets and to give effect to Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. Buyer shall make available to Sellers, at Sellers’ sole expense and subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of Section 7.5 hereof, any and all records, documents or personnel to the extent reasonably related to Sellers’ ability to defend or assert any and all material claims relating to events or omissions prior to the Closing.

7.9 Trademarks

As soon as practicable following the Closing (but in no even later than the end of the first 180 days following the Closing), Buyer shall discontinue the use, directly or indirectly, in any manner or form, of all Trademarks owned by Sellers and not transferred to Buyer hereunder (including the names “Electronic Data Systems Corporation” and “EDS”) and any derivatives thereof and any corresponding logos, except for the limited purpose of clarifying within the first 24 months following the Closing that the Business is no longer owned or operated by Sellers.

7.10 Non-competition

23

Prohibited Business (the “Acquired Person”) and the EDS Control Group is the continuing or surviving entity thereof, provided that (a) the revenues attributable to the Prohibited Business of such Acquired Person during the calendar year immediately preceding such Transaction shall not exceed 15% of the total revenues of such Acquired Person during such calendar year and (b) the EDS Control Group shall cause such Acquired Person to maintain its existing Prohibited Business only in the ordinary course and not permit the expansion of the base of the Prohibited Business of the Acquired Person beyond that existing as of the date the agreement for the Transaction is entered into or beyond that required by existing contractual obligations of the Acquired Person as of the date on which the agreement for the Transaction is entered;

24

Whenever possible, each provision in this Section 7.10 shall be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid under applicable law. However, if, in any proceeding brought to enforce this Section 7.10, any such provision is deemed unreasonable in scope or otherwise, then such provision shall be automatically reformed or modified so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and then so enforced in such proceeding.

7.11 Revisions to the Disclosure Schedule

Sellers may revise the Disclosure Schedule by delivering a revised the Disclosure Schedule to Buyer promptly after the date of discovery of an item to be disclosed. Buyer shall have the right to review the revised the Disclosure Schedule for a period of 30 days after receipt thereof. At any time within such 30-day time period Buyer shall have the right to (a) terminate this Agreement by notice to Sellers if the revised information would reasonably be likely to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect or (b) propose an adjustment to the Cash Purchase Price or other corrective measure (which may include an indemnity related to the matter disclosed) if the revised information is not reasonably likely to constitute a Seller Material Adverse Effect, which adjustment shall be reasonably related to the items disclosed. Such notice, if pursuant to Section 7.11(a), shall generally specify the information forming the basis for the decision to terminate, and the basis for determining that the revised information would be reasonably likely to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect or, if pursuant to Section 7.11(b), the general basis of Buyer’s proposal to adjust the Cash Purchase Price. Sellers shall have 14 days after receipt of the notice to review with Buyer the information forming the basis for the decision. If the parties cannot agree on corrective measures (including a Cash Purchase Price adjustment or indemnity related to the matter disclosed) within such 14-day period, then this Agreement shall terminate. If this Agreement is not terminated as permitted by this Section, or if the proposed Cash Purchase Price adjustment is accepted by Sellers, or Buyer and Sellers otherwise agree on the amount of the Cash Purchase Price adjustment (or other corrective measures), the Cash Purchase Price shall be adjusted, as applicable, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such revisions, the Disclosure Schedule attached to this Agreement as of the date hereof shall be deemed to be superseded by the revised the Disclosure Schedule and this Agreement shall not terminate; provided, however, any such revision of the Disclosure Schedule shall not affect the rights of the Buyer Group to indemnification under Section 11.2, except that Buyer shall not seek indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) without giving effect to such revision and acceptance.

7.12 No-hire; Non-solicit

During the period that extends until the 2^nd anniversary of the Closing Date, Sellers shall not, and shall cause the members of the Seller Control Group not to, solicit, hire or cause to be hired any Transferred Employee, any persons which they knew or reasonably should know are Employees of Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates or any persons who are Employees of Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates with whom representatives of Sellers came into contact in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise enable, encourage or assist, directly or indirectly, any such persons to terminate their employment with Buyer or such Affiliates, including the Designated Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement will not prohibit (x) solicitations through advertising or other publications of general circulation; or (y) the solicitation for hire or hiring of any person whose employment has been terminated by Buyer; provided, however, Sellers agree not to use the exceptions provided in (x) or (y) of this sentence for the purpose of circumventing the general intention of this Section 7.12.

7.13 Exclusivity

(a) Sellers shall not, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by any of them) (collectively, “Seller Representatives”) to not, with respect to the Business, initiate, solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to a purchase and sale transaction involving the stock of any Seller or all or any substantial portion of the assets of the Business, or, with respect to the Business, a transaction structured as a merger, consolidation, combination, joint venture or similar transaction (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an “Acquisition Proposal”) or engage in any negotiations concerning or provide any confidential information or data to or have any discussions with, any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal.

25

(b) Sellers will promptly notify Buyer of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal. Sellers shall immediately cease and cause any of their Affiliates and other Seller Representatives to cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties (other than Buyer) conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing.

7.14 Tax Proceedings

7.15 S-X and Audited Financial Statements

Sellers will deliver to Buyer as soon as practicable the reports and audited financial statements relating to the Business which it has engaged KPMG to prepare and deliver pursuant to that certain letter of engagement between EDS and KPMG LLC dated as of August 20, 2004, a copy of which is made a part of this Agreement as Exhibit 7.15. In addition, both prior to and after the Closing, Sellers shall furnish to Buyer any information or documents necessary for Buyer’s completion of financial statements prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “S-X Financials”) to the extent reasonably possible, and Sellers agree to execute any customary and reasonable management representation letters necessary to permit Buyer’s independent accountants to issue unqualified reports with respect to such S-X Financials. In addition, both prior to and after the Closing, Sellers will make available its personnel and otherwise provide support in connection with the preparation of the S-X Financials or any audit, and in responding to inquiries and other requests of the Securities Exchange Commission related to such financial statements, in each case, to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer.

26

7.16 No Copies of Transferred Software

Promptly after the Closing, except as may be necessary for Sellers to provide any services under the Transition Services Agreement (such as disaster recovery services), Sellers agree to use their best efforts to erase and destroy all copies or reproductions (whether printed or in electronic, tape or other format) of any and all Software which constitute Transferred Assets in their possession or control, or in the possession or control of any member of the Seller Control Group, and will not otherwise provide or make available such Software to any third parties. Upon Buyers’ request, Sellers will certify in writing that they have complied with this covenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Software that is also a Transferred Asset, Seller may, prior to the Closing Date, deposit with a reputable software escrow service, at Seller’s cost and expense, one copy of the executable code and source code versions of such Software (the “Deposit Materials”) after entering into an escrow agreement with such escrow service that is reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Such escrow agreement shall provide for at least the following in order to be deemed reasonably acceptable to Buyer: (i) the release to Seller of the Deposit Materials shall be permitted solely in the event Seller requires such materials as evidence to defend against a then-pending, third-party claim of breach of contract, infringement or misappropriation related to the Deposit Materials (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include a qualifying claim by Buyer against Sellers for breach under this Agreement); (ii) that written notice must be provided to Buyer no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to any such release of the Deposit Materials indicating that Seller has requested a release of the Deposit Materials; (iii) that Buyer has the right to object to such requested release in the event such request is inconsistent with (i) above; and (iv) that Buyer is a third-party beneficiary to such escrow agreement.

7.17 Delayed Transfer of Certain Assets.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the assets listed on Exhibit 7.17 attached hereto (as such list may be updated and modified by mutual agreement of the parties prior to the Closing, the “Delayed Transferred Assets”) shall not transfer to Buyer at the Closing but shall instead remain the property of Sellers (as applicable) until the earlier to occur of (i) such time as Buyer delivers written notice to Sellers that they are relieved of providing services to Buyer with respect to such Delayed Transferred Asset under Service Order No. 1 under the Transition Services Agreement and (ii) the date upon which Service Order No. 1 under the Transition Services Agreement expires or is terminated by its terms (such date, the “Delayed Transfer Date”), at which time the consummation of the transfer with respect to any Delayed Transferred Assets shall be deemed to automatically occur without any further actions required by any party. After the Closing but prior to the Delayed Transfer Date, Sellers shall maintain all Delayed Transferred Assets in the ordinary course and with the same degree of care as the Delayed Transferred Assets were maintained by Sellers prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, by maintaining all appropriate hardware and software maintenance agreements applicable to such assets). Sellers shall only use the Delayed Transferred Assets for the benefit of Buyer in connection with the delivery of services under the Transition Services Agreement and shall not transfer any of the Delayed Transferred Assets to, or permit the use of the Delayed Transferred Assets by, any party other than Buyer.

ARTICLE 8

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

8.1 List of Designated Employees

On the Closing Date, Buyer shall make offers of full-time or part time (as the case may be), employment with Buyer, effective as of the Closing Date, to Sellers’ Employees with respect to the Business who are not on a leave of absence (e.g., not on personal leave, short-term or long-term disability or military leave) (an “Approved Leave”) as of the Closing Date and whose names are set forth in Exhibit 8.1 (each such Employee, a “Designated Employee”). Each Designated Employee who accepts employment with Buyer pursuant to this Agreement is hereinafter referred to as a “Transferred Employee”. The date that a Designated Employee’s employment commences with Buyer is hereinafter referred to as the “Employee Transition Date”. All of the Designated Employees on Approved Leave are identified on Exhibit 8.1, each of whom will be offered employment with Buyer when they are again actively at work, but only if they resume such status within three months after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if after the Closing, as a result of a general reduction in the work force of the Business, a Designated Employee on Approved Leave’s position in the Business is eliminated prior to such person’s return to active work with Buyer, Buyer shall be relieved of its obligation to offer employment to such person; however, solely for the purposes of allocating between Buyer and Sellers the economic burden of severance payable to such

27

person, Buyer will treat such person as if their Employee Transition Date was the Closing Date and as if such person was terminated by Buyer without “Cause” (as defined in Section 8.2) as of the date of such general reduction in the work force of the Business and, accordingly, will reimburse Seller for any severance costs incurred by Seller to the extent of the costs Buyer would have incurred in the same circumstances under Buyer’s Severance Responsibility.

8.2 Certain Benefits Calculations

For at least one (1) year following the Closing Date, Buyer shall offer the Transferred Employees for as long as they are employed by Buyer or its subsidiaries base salary or wages that are equivalent to the base salary or wages that the Transferred Employees receive immediately prior to the Closing Date, and shall provide the Transferred Employees with such employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements as are provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer. In the event a Transferred Employee is terminated by Buyer without “Cause” (as defined below) within such initial one (1) year period, Buyer will provide such person with a severance benefit equal to: (i) two weeks’ base salary for each year of his or her service with EDS (and any prior employer, to the same extent as recognized by EDS) and Buyer, with a maximum of benefit of twenty weeks of base salary, and (ii) a payment equivalent to one-month of COBRA continuation coverage in the Buyer or Parent Health and Dental Benefit Plan based on the individual’s coverage in effect on the date of his or her separation, “grossed up” to assist with the tax impact of such continuation coverage payment, which combined amount is intended to reflect the severance policy of EDS in effect as of the Closing Date (the “Severance Commitment”). EDS agrees to reimburse Buyer for any costs arising under or in connection with the Severance Commitment to the extent in excess of the costs Buyer would have incurred in the same circumstances under Buyer’s Severance Responsibility. Buyer shall submit invoices to EDS for any such reimbursement on a monthly basis and EDS shall make payment on such invoice within 5 Business Days after submission thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Buyer employee policy to the contrary, upon termination from employment with Buyer for any reason, no Transferred Employee shall be entitled to any payment in respect of their unused vacation, sick leave or other paid-time-off benefit to the extent such liability was assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent permitted under the applicable employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of Buyer, and to the extent such waiting periods, limitations or exclusions were satisfied or otherwise not applicable as of the Closing Date under an analogous Employee Benefit Plan, Buyer shall provide the Transferred Employees with such benefits without any waiting periods or limitations or exclusions relating to pre-existing conditions. For purposes of eligibility and vesting and calculating entitlement for leave, vacation time, severance and under any benefits provided by Buyer, Transferred Employees shall be credited with service for the period of their employment with Sellers or with any other employer whose employment with which Sellers have heretofore credited service for such purposes to the extent credited under an analogous Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date (collectively, “Past Service”) and shall provide that any expenses incurred on or before the Closing by or on behalf of any such Transferred Employees shall be taken into account under applicable Buyer employee benefit plans for purposes of satisfying applicable deductibles to the extent taken into account under an analogous Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8, the Transferred Employees shall be entitled to employee benefits that are no less favorable than those offered to other Buyer employees who are similarly situated. Nothing herein is intended to alter the at-will employment relationship between Buyer and any Transferred Employee. Buyer shall not be limited, except by applicable Laws, in its ability to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee at any time, for any reason. No present, former or future employee of Buyer or Sellers shall be treated as a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement. As used in this Section 8.2, “Cause” shall mean: (a) material breach of any agreement entered into between the Designated Employee and Buyer; (b) material misconduct; (c) material or repeated failure to follow Buyer’s policies, directives or orders applicable to Buyer’s employees holding comparable positions; (d) intentional destruction or theft of Buyer property or falsification of Buyer documents; (e) material or repeated failure or refusal to faithfully, diligently, and competently perform the usual and customary duties associated with such employee’s position; (f) conviction of a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude; or (g) material or repeated violation of Buyer’s code of business conduct.

8.3 401(k) Plan

As soon as practicable after the Employee Transition Date, Sellers shall permit the Transferred Employees to take distributions from the EDS 401(k) Plan in accordance with the EDS 401(k) Plan and applicable Law.

28

Buyer shall accept rollovers and direct transfers, pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(31), of pre-tax account balances and outstanding loan balances into Buyer’s 401(k) Plan in accordance with the terms of such Buyer’s 401(k) Plan and applicable Law, provided that no employer securities shall be rolled over or transferred to such Buyer’s 401(k) Plan. Buyer’s 401(k) Plan shall provide that each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate therein as of his or her Employee Transition Date.

8.4 Relocation Assistance

Until 180 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall offer relocation assistance to each Transferred Employee who is required to relocate to a new work location that is a distance of more than 50 miles from such Transferred Employee’s current work location. Such relocation assistance shall be equal to the relocation assistance provided to employees of Buyer pursuant to Buyer’s relocation assistance program. After 180 days after the Closing Date, Buyer’s relocation assistance program, if any, shall apply to Transferred Employees.

8.5 No Third-Party Rights of Enforcement

The provisions of this Article 8 are intended solely to bind Sellers and Buyer and are not intended in any way to be enforced by or relied upon by any person or entity that is not a signatory to this Agreement, including any Designated Employee or Transferred Employee, and are otherwise subject to the terms of Section 13.13.

8.6 WARN Obligations

With respect to any WARN Obligations (or similar obligations) that may arise with respect to the Business, Sellers shall be responsible for any WARN Obligations (or similar obligations) arising solely as a result of any employment losses occurring prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for any WARN Obligations (or similar obligations) arising as a result of any employment losses occurring upon or following the Closing Date. Sellers shall advise Buyer in writing at Closing on a location-by-location basis, of all layoffs implemented by Sellers in the 90-day period preceding the Closing Date relating to Seller worksites where the Business is performed or at which Designated Employees are located.

8.7 Vacation

All liabilities and obligations for unused vacation, sick leave and other paid time off of the Transferred Employees shall be assumed by Buyer, subject to and solely to the extent provided in Section 2.1(c). After the Employee Transition Date, Buyer shall provide the Transferred Employees with vacation benefits pursuant to the vacation policy of Buyer without waiting periods; provided that each of the Transferred Employees shall be credited with their past service with Sellers, as indicated by Sellers’ records, for the purpose of determining vacation benefits under such policy.
