<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Reference is made to
Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General


Corporation Law, or DGCL, which generally provides that all directors and officers (as well as
other employees and individuals) may be indemnified against expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
certain specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation &#151; a &#147;derivative action&#148;),
if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard of care is applicable in
the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with defense or settlement of an
action and the DGCL requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the
person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL
also provides that the rights conferred thereby are not exclusive of any other right which any
person may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, and permits a corporation to advance expenses to or on behalf of a person
to be indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined
that the person is not entitled to be indemnified.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s bylaws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened
to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director or officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity), shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as in effect (or to the
extent that indemnification is broadened, as it may be amended), against all expense, liability and
loss (including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid
or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith. Except with respect to actions initiated by an officer or director against the Company
to recover the amount of an unpaid claim, the Company is required to indemnify an officer or
director in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person only if such
action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the Company. The bylaws of
the Company further provide that an officer or director may (60&nbsp;days after a written claim has been
received by the Registrant) bring suit against the Registrant to recover an unpaid claim and, if
such suit is successful, the expense of bringing such suit. While it is a defense to such suit that
the claimant has not met the applicable standards of conduct which make indemnification permissible
under the DGCL, neither the failure of the board of directors to have made a determination that
indemnification is proper, nor an actual determination that the claimant has not met the applicable
standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has
not met the applicable standard of conduct.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bylaws of the Company also provide that the rights conferred thereby are contract
rights, that they are not exclusive of any other rights which an officer or director may have or
hereafter acquire under any statute, any other provision of the certificate of incorporation,
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and that they
include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any specified
action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition provided that, if the DGCL so
requires, such payment shall only be made upon delivery to the Company by the officer or director
of an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Opinion of Holland & Knight, LLP
Consent of Grant Thornton LLP

The information required by Item 1 is included in documents sent or given to participants in
the plan covered by this registration statement pursuant to Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
PART II — INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed by Argon ST, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") with
the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007;
(b)(1) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 30, 2007;
(2) Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on October 4, 2007, November 29, 2007,
November 30, 2007 and February 7, 2008 (other than the portions of those documents not deemed to be
filed);
(c) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in the Company's Registration
Statement on Form 10, No. 2-42266, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), and any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All other documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the portions of those documents not deemed to
be filed), subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
hereto indicating that all the shares of the Company's Common Stock offered hereunder have been
sold or which deregisters all the shares of the Company's Common Stock then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof
from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for
purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of the Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The Company's Common Stock to be so offered is registered under Section 12(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Reference is made to
Section 145 of the Delaware General

Corporation Law, or DGCL, which generally provides that all directors and officers (as well as
other employees and individuals) may be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
certain specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation — a "derivative action"),
if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard of care is applicable in
the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with defense or settlement of an
action and the DGCL requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the
person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Section 145 of the DGCL
also provides that the rights conferred thereby are not exclusive of any other right which any
person may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, and permits a corporation to advance expenses to or on behalf of a person
to be indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined
that the person is not entitled to be indemnified.
The Company's bylaws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened
to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director or officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity), shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as in effect (or to the
extent that indemnification is broadened, as it may be amended), against all expense, liability and
loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid
or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith. Except with respect to actions initiated by an officer or director against the Company
to recover the amount of an unpaid claim, the Company is required to indemnify an officer or
director in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person only if such
action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the Company. The bylaws of
the Company further provide that an officer or director may (60 days after a written claim has been
received by the Registrant) bring suit against the Registrant to recover an unpaid claim and, if
such suit is successful, the expense of bringing such suit. While it is a defense to such suit that
the claimant has not met the applicable standards of conduct which make indemnification permissible
under the DGCL, neither the failure of the board of directors to have made a determination that
indemnification is proper, nor an actual determination that the claimant has not met the applicable
standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has
not met the applicable standard of conduct.
The bylaws of the Company also provide that the rights conferred thereby are contract
rights, that they are not exclusive of any other rights which an officer or director may have or
hereafter acquire under any statute, any other provision of the certificate of incorporation,
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and that they
include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any specified
action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition provided that, if the DGCL so
requires, such payment shall only be made upon delivery to the Company by the officer or director
of an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Exhibit Index included herein is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8
and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
