ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), SAIC MergerSub will merge with and into Old SAIC upon the Effective Time, as defined in this Agreement. Old SAIC will be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). Upon the Effective Time, the separate existence of SAIC MergerSub will cease, and the Surviving Corporation will succeed to all of the rights and property of SAIC MergerSub, and will be subject to all of the debts and liabilities of SAIC MergerSub, as provided for in Section 259 of the DGCL. On and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will carry on its business with the assets of SAIC MergerSub, as well as with the assets of the Surviving Corporation.

1.2 Effective Time. As soon as practicable following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article III, the Merger will be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL. The Merger will become effective when the Certificate of Merger is filed or such later time as is set forth in the Certificate of Merger. The time when the Merger becomes effective is called the “Effective Time.”

1.3 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Old SAIC in effect at the Effective Time will be the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and will remain in effect until changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law. The name of the Surviving Corporation will be Science Applications International Corporation.

1.4 Tax Treatment of Merger. The parties agree to treat the Merger for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Sections 351 and/or 368 of the Code.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Old SAIC, New SAIC or SAIC MergerSub, or the stockholders, as applicable, of such entities:

(a) (i) Each share of Old SAIC class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will convert into the right to receive in the aggregate two shares of New SAIC Class A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares”); and (ii) each share of Old SAIC class B common stock, par value $0.05 per share, issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will, subject to the exercise of appraisal rights as set forth in Section 2.4 below, convert into the right to receive in the aggregate forty New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. The New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares receivable by each holder as a result of such conversions will be divided among (A) shares of New SAIC series A-1 preferred stock; (B) shares of New SAIC series A-2 preferred stock; (C) shares of New SAIC series A-3 preferred stock; and (D) shares of New SAIC series A-4 preferred stock, as follows:

(1) First, subject to clause (2) and clause (3), the New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares receivable by each holder will be divided among four series of New SAIC Class A preferred stock on the following basis:

(a) 20% will be series A-1 shares;

(b) 20% will be series A-2 shares;

(c) 30% will be series A-3 shares; and

(d) 30% will be series A-4 shares.

(2) Second, any fractional shares that would otherwise be allocated to New SAIC series A-1 preferred stock, series A-2 preferred stock, series A-3 preferred stock and series A-4 preferred stock as a result of the division in clause (1) above will be aggregated and reallocated as described in clause (3) below.

(3) Third, if the total number of shares aggregated as a result of clause (2) above is one, that share will be allocated to New SAIC series A-1 preferred stock. If the total number of shares aggregated as a result of clause (2) above is two, then one of those shares will be allocated to New SAIC series A-1 preferred stock and one of those shares will be allocated to New SAIC series A-2 preferred stock. If the total number of shares aggregated as a result of clause (2) above is three, then one of those shares will be allocated to New SAIC series A-1 preferred stock, one of those shares will be allocated to New SAIC series A-2 preferred stock and one of those shares will be allocated to New SAIC series A-3 preferred stock.

As of the Effective Time, all shares of Old SAIC class A common stock and Old SAIC class B common stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and will cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Old SAIC class A common stock or Old SAIC class B common stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares to be issued in consideration therefor, subject to the exercise of appraisal rights as set forth in Section 2.4 below, and the right to receive any dividend declared and payable with respect to Old SAIC class A common stock and class B common stock held on the record date for such dividend.

(b) Each share of SAIC MergerSub common stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will convert into one share of class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

2.2 Options or Other Rights. Each option or other right to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Old SAIC class A common stock granted and outstanding pursuant to Old SAIC’s stock incentive or other plans immediately before the Effective Time will convert into an option or right to acquire shares of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. The number of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares to be received by each holder pursuant to such option or other right shall be divided among the four series of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares in the manner set forth in Section 2.1(a). From and after the Effective Time, New SAIC shall have all

administrative authority with respect to such stock incentive or other plans to the extent that Old SAIC had such authority immediately prior to the Effective Time.

2.3 Stock Certificates. Following the Effective Time, each holder of a certificate or certificates formerly representing outstanding shares of Old SAIC class A common stock or class B common stock shall surrender the same to New SAIC or its transfer agent for cancellation. Upon surrender of such certificate or certificates, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a number of shares of a series of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares as determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Until so surrendered, subject to Section 2.5, each certificate which prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Old SAIC common stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent ownership of the number of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares determined under Section 2.1(a) as though such surrender had taken place. To the fullest extent authorized by law, all instructions, owners and notices recorded on Old SAIC’s stock ledger in respect of shares of Old SAIC’s common stock, whether certificated or uncertificated, will be recorded on the stock ledger of New SAIC in respect of such New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the Merger will be reflected on the stock ledger of New SAIC as uncertificated shares, except to the extent New SAIC determines that it will deliver a certificate or certificates therefor.

2.4 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, any shares of Old SAIC class B common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by a stockholder who has neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who has demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Class B Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. Such stockholders will be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of Class B Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Class B Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who have failed to perfect or who effectively have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Class B Dissenting Shares under such Section 262 will thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4, if the Merger is terminated or abandoned, then the right of any stockholder to be paid the fair value of such stockholder’s Class B Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL will cease.

2.5 Dividends and Distributions. No dividends or other distributions with respect to New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old SAIC stock certificate with respect to the New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares to be received in respect thereof pursuant to the Merger until the surrender of such certificate in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such certificate, there shall be paid to the person receiving New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares pursuant to the Merger, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the proportionate amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to the whole New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares received by the person pursuant to the Merger, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the proportionate amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares.

2.6 Covenant to Contribute Capital. Upon the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of New SAIC that is owned by Old SAIC immediately prior to the Effective Time will be returned to New SAIC as a contribution to capital.
