        THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of June 20, 2005 (the “Agreement”), among MCDONALD BRADLEY, INC., a Virginia corporation (“Parent”), INFODATA ACQUISITION, INC., a Virginia corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and INFODATA SYSTEMS INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”).

        WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have each determined that it is desirable and in the best interests of each of them and their respective shareholders for Parent to acquire the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

        WHEREAS, in furtherance of such acquisition, (x) the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have each adopted, approved and declared advisable the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company, in accordance with the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, as amended, of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “VSCA”) and subject to the conditions set forth herein, which Merger will result in, among other things, the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and (y) the Boards of Directors of Merger Sub and the Company have recommended approval of the Merger and this Agreement, including the related Plan of Merger (as defined below), by their respective shareholders;

        WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of, and an inducement to, Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain holders of Company Common Stock (as defined herein) are entering into a Voting Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Voting Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, providing for certain actions relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

        WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

        1.1 The Merger . At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the VSCA, (a) Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, (b) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue to be governed by Virginia law as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and (c) the separate corporate existence of the Company with all of its assets, property rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger, except as set forth in this Article I.


        1.2 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned pursuant to the provisions of Article VII, and subject to the provisions of Article VI, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on a date (the “Closing Date”) to be mutually agreed upon by the parties, which date shall be no later than the third Business Day after all the conditions set forth in Article VI shall have been satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 7.5, to the extent the same may be waived), unless another time and/or date is agreed by the parties hereto. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Brett L. Antonides, P.C., 2250 Corporate Park Drive, Suite 501, Herndon, VA 20171, or such other place as the parties hereto otherwise agree.

        1.3 Effective Time . As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by (i) executing and filing on the Closing Date articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) meeting the requirements of Section 13.1-720 of the VSCA in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B , together with a copy of this Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Plan of Merger”) meeting the requirements of Section 13.1-716 of the VSCA, and (ii) making such other filings and taking such other actions as may be required by law to make the Merger effective. The Merger shall become effective upon the issuance of a certificate of merger by the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia in accordance with the VSCA or at such later date and time as the parties hereto shall have agreed upon and designated in the Articles of Merger as the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”).

        1.4 Effect of the Merger . At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the VSCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the assets, property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

        1.5 Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws . Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the parties hereto, (a) the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto until thereafter amended as provided by the VSCA and (b) the Bylaws of Merger Sub as set forth in its entirety as Exhibit D attached hereto shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by the VSCA.

        1.6 Directors and Officers . The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the directors of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties hereto or their shareholders, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The officers of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the officers of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties hereto.

-2-


        1.7 Conversion of Company Common Stock, Etc . At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties hereto or the holders of the following securities (except as provided in Section 1.8 hereof):

            (a) The price to be paid by Parent for all shares of Common Stock, par value $0.03 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of the Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.7(c) and subject to Section 1.9) and all shares of Company Common Stock subject to being issued pursuant to a Stock Option (as defined in Section 1.8) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Outstanding Shares”) will be up to Seven Million Four Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($7,435,000.00), subject to certain adjustments as expressly provided in Section 6.2(g) and/or Section 7.3(b)(3) of this Agreement, which shall be paid in cash by Parent in accordance with this Agreement on a per share basis (the “Merger Consideration”) as follows: (i) $1.15 per share for each Outstanding Share issued and outstanding plus (ii) $1.15 per share for each share of Company Common Stock subject to being issued pursuant to a Stock Option (as defined in Section 1.8) with an exercise price per share less than or equal to $1.15, from which shall then be subtracted the exercise price per share of such Stock Option, with such result being multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to being issued pursuant to such Stock Option (all as contemplated by Section 1.8(a) below). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after giving effect to maximum adjustments that may occur under Section 6.2(g) and Section 7.3(b)(3) of this Agreement, the per share Merger Consideration shall be no less than $1.09 per share and no more than $1.20 per share. Each Outstanding Share that is properly tendered in accordance with Section 1.10 shall be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount per share in cash equal to the Merger Consideration.

            (b) Each share of Company Common Stock, if any, owned by Parent or Merger Sub, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

            (c) Each share of the Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company or held by any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled and retired and will cease to exist. For purposes of this Section 1.7(d), shares of Company Common Stock owned beneficially or held of record by any plan, program or arrangement sponsored or maintained for the benefit of any current or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will not be deemed to be held by the Company or any such Subsidiary, regardless of whether the Company or any such Subsidiary has the power, directly or indirectly, to vote or control the disposition of such shares.

            (d) Each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted, at the Effective Time, into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall, immediately after the Effective Time, constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. As of the Effective Time, each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

-3-


        1.8 Stock Option Plan and Company Stock Purchase Plan .

            (a) The Company will take all necessary actions to cause each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Stock Option”) granted under the Company’s 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “Company Option Plan”) or any other stock option plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Stock Plans”) which is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, to be cancelled as of the Effective Time and, if such option has an exercise price equal to or less than the per share Merger Consideration set forth in Section 1.7 above, such option shall be automatically converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive in cash, pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof, from the Parent an amount equal to the product of (a) the excess, if any, of the per share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to being issued pursuant to such Stock Option and (b) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to be issued pursuant to such Stock Option (after giving effect to the acceleration of vesting associated with the Merger).

            (b) Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company Purchase Plan”), the purchase date of the current offering period under the Company Purchase Plan shall occur on July 1, 2005, and each participant in the Company Purchase Plan, who has not withdrawn from that offering period or has not terminated prior to such date, shall automatically acquire, pursuant to the exercise of such participant’s purchase right, shares of the Company Common Stock as provided in the Company Purchase Plan, each of which shares shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the participant, be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.7 at the Effective Time. Effective July 1, 2005 and thereafter, the Company Purchase Plan will be suspended, with proper notice provided to employees. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary, including obtaining all required consents, such that any cash balance remaining in any Company Purchase Plan participant’s account following such purchase date of July 1, 2005 shall be paid to such participant immediately prior to the Effective Time. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the Company Purchase Plan, and neither the Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall assume the Company’s obligations under the Company Purchase Plan. All purchase rights under the Company Purchase Plan not exercised prior to the Closing Date shall terminate and cease to be outstanding as of the Closing Date.

            (c) The Company and its Board of Directors shall promptly take all actions necessary to ensure that following the Effective Time no holder of any warrant, options or other rights pursuant to, nor any participant in or party to, the Company Option Plan, the Company Purchase Plan, or any Stock Plan (collectively, the “Employee Plans”) or other plan, program, arrangement, agreement or other commitment providing for the issuance or grant of any interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company will have any rights thereunder to acquire equity securities, or any right to payment in respect of the equity securities, of Parent, the Company, or the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries, except as provided herein.

 

        (d) No additional Stock Options or other equity-based awards or other rights to acquire Company Common Stock will be granted pursuant to the Stock Plans, the Company Purchase Plan or otherwise after the date of this Agreement.



-4-


        1.9 Adjustments

            (a) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

            (b) The Merger Consideration shall also be adjusted for other amounts, if any, specifically identified in this Agreement.

        1.10 Surrender of Certificates .

            (a) Paying Agent . Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company to act as the Paying Agent in the Merger.

            (b) Parent to Provide Merger Consideration . When and as needed, Parent shall make available to the Paying Agent for payment in accordance with this Article I, through such reasonable procedures as Parent may adopt, a sufficient amount of cash to be paid pursuant to Section 1.7.

            (c) Surrender Procedures . Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that represented as of the Effective Time outstanding shares of Company Common Stock to be surrendered pursuant to Section 1.7, and to each holder of a Stock Option or uncertificated shares entitled to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and/or receiving Merger Consideration relating to a Stock Option or other rights under Section 1.8, in exchange for cash in the amount equal to the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent (excluding options and uncertificated shares referenced in Section 1.8), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate and the holder of a Stock Option or uncertificated shares entitled to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor payment which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Sections 1.7 and/or 1.8, after giving effect to any required Tax (as defined herein) withholdings, and the Certificate, if any, so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. At any time following six (6) months after the Effective Time, all or any portion of the cash deposited with or made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 1.10(b), which remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock and/or the holders of Stock Options or uncertificated shares entitled to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8, shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and thereafter such holders of unexchanged shares of Company Common Stock and/or the holders of Stock Options or uncertificated shares entitled to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8 shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) with respect to payment of Merger Consideration prior to the expiration of the two-year period set forth in Section 1.10(g).

-5-


            (d) Transfers of Ownership . If any Merger Consideration is to be paid to any Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of such payment that (i) the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and accompanied by all other documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and (ii) either (x) the Person requesting such payment will have paid any Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration in a name other than the name of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or (y) established to the satisfaction of Parent, or any agent designated by Parent, that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

            (e) No Liability . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Paying Agent, the Parent, the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to a holder of a Certificate and/or the holder of a Stock Option or uncertificated shares entitled to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8 for any portion of the Merger Consideration (or any other amount due, if any) that was properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

            (f) Withholding of Tax . Parent or the Paying Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock and/or the holder of a Stock Option or uncertificated shares entitled to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8 such amounts as Parent (or any Affiliate thereof) or the Paying Agent shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code (as defined herein), or any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Common Stock and/or the holder of a Stock Option or uncertificated shares entitled to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8 in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Parent.

            (g) Unclaimed Shares . Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Sections 1.7(b) and/or 1.8 and/or thereafter held by Parent pursuant to Section 1.10(c) which remain unclaimed by the person entitled to such payment two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority) shall, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of the Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

        1.11 Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock . The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Company Common Stock and/or pursuant to Section 1.8 in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock, and/or Stock Option. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates evidencing ownership of shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided for herein. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in, and subject to the terms of, this Article I.

-6-


        1.12 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates . In the event any Certificate evidencing Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such portion of the Merger Consideration required pursuant hereto; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

        1.13 Further Assurances . If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record of otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, contracts, properties or assets of either the Company or Merger Sub or (b) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and its proper officers and directors or their designees shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, all such other acts and things necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm its rights, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, contracts, properties or assets of the Company or Merger Sub, as applicable, and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
