2.03 Sale and Assumption of Liabilities; Additional Cash Transfer.

(a) In accordance with the terms and upon the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, but after the Contribution and prior to the Spin Off and the closing of the Merger, the Company shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Newco 3, and Newco 3 shall acquire and accept, all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Equity Interests in Newco LLC, BAH Sweden and BASP (the “Sale”). The purchase price for the Sale

shall be 2,774,798 shares of Newco Common Stock, 2,774,798 shares of Newco Non-Voting Common Stock, and 1,000 shares of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock to be transferred to the Company by Newco 3 (the “Purchase Price”). Immediately following the Sale, the Company shall transfer all of the Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock to a third party service provider (designated by the Company at least five (5) Business Days before the Closing and reasonably satisfactory to Buyer Parent) in consideration for services performed for the Company and on terms reasonably satisfactory to Buyer Parent.

(b) Simultaneously with the Sale, the Company shall transfer cash to Newco 3 in an amount (the “Additional Cash Transfer”) equal to the sum of (i) the Estimated NAV Transfer Amount, and (ii) $10,000,000 (clause (ii) being referred to as the “Restructuring Fund”). The Company shall, to the extent necessary, borrow money or otherwise incur Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Facilities other than the DCRIP Facility (in each case, as defined in the Merger Agreement) which shall be considered Closing Date Indebtedness (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) prior to the consummation of the Sale in order to make the Additional Cash Transfer (such amounts being “Spin Off Indebtedness”). Not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, Newco, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall jointly prepare a certificate that sets forth their good faith estimate (together with reasonably detailed back-up data to support such estimate) of the NAV Transfer Amount (the “Estimated NAV Transfer Amount”).

(c) Within 90 calendar days following the Closing, Newco shall prepare and deliver to the Company a statement (the “Newco Statement”) setting forth Newco’s calculation of the NAV Transfer Amount. During such 90-day period, the Company shall provide Newco reasonable access to the Company’s personnel, auditors, properties and records relevant to the calculation of the NAV Transfer Amount (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested).

(d) The Company shall have 30 calendar days following receipt of the Newco Statement to deliver to Newco a written notice (a “Notice of Dispute”) that the Company disputes Newco’s calculation of any of the amounts or any portion of the amounts set forth in the Newco Statement, which Notice of Dispute shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for each element of such dispute; provided that any such Notice of Dispute must be limited to one or more allegations that the Newco Statement (i) contained mathematical errors, or (ii) was not prepared in accordance with Section 2.03(c). If the Company does not deliver a Notice of Dispute on or before the expiration of such 30-day period (or if the Company notifies Newco in writing that there is no such dispute), the calculations contained in the Newco Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive. In the event the Company delivers a Notice of Dispute with respect to only certain of the amounts or certain portions of the amounts set forth in the Newco Statement but not others, then any undisputed amount or portion thereof shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive. In the event the Company delivers a Notice of Dispute to Newco, then Newco and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible. During such 30-day period, Newco shall provide the Company reasonable access to Newco’s personnel, auditors, properties and records relevant to the calculation of the NAV Transfer Amount (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested).

(e) In the event that the Company and Newco are unable to resolve all such disagreements on or before the 30th calendar day following the delivery of such Notice of Dispute, the Company and Newco shall retain a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm upon whom the Company and Newco may mutually agree (such accounting firm being referred to as the “Accounting Firm”), to resolve all such disagreements. The Accounting Firm may only resolve disagreements as to matters covered by the Notice of Dispute in accordance with Section 2.03(d). All matters not properly covered by the Notice of Dispute shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive. The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on both Newco and the Company absent manifest error. Each of the Company and Newco shall promptly provide their assertions regarding the NAV Transfer Amount in writing to the Accounting Firm and to each other. The Company and Newco shall each pay the fees and disbursements of their respective internal and independent accountants and other personnel incurred in the initial preparation, review and final determination of the NAV Transfer Amount. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Accounting Firm shall be borne pro rata as between Newco, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, in proportion to the allocation of the dollar value of the amounts in dispute between Newco and the Company made by the Accounting Firm such that the Party prevailing on the greater dollar value of such disputes pays the lesser proportion of the fees and expenses. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to render its determination as soon as reasonably possible (which the Parties hereto agree should not be later than 90 calendar days following the day on which the disagreement is referred to the Accounting Firm). The Accounting Firm shall conduct its determination activities in a manner wherein all materials submitted to it are held in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third parties (other than any designated authorized representative of a Party). The Accounting Firm shall base its determination solely on the written submissions of the Parties and shall not conduct an independent investigation. The Parties agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Final NAV Transfer Amount” (which amount may be a positive or negative number) shall mean the NAV Transfer Amount as finally determined in accordance with Sections 2.03(c), 2.03(d) and 2.03(e).

(g) Upon the final determination of the Final NAV Transfer Amount:

(i) if the Final NAV Transfer Amount exceeds the Estimated NAV Transfer Amount, the Company shall deliver the amount of such difference to Newco 3; provided that in no event shall the Company be obliged to pay greater than $15,000,000; or

(ii) if the Estimated NAV Transfer Amount exceeds the Final NAV Transfer Amount, Newco 3 shall deliver the amount of such difference to the Company.

(h) All payments under Section 2.03(g) shall be made, together with interest on such amount from the Closing Date to the date of payment at a per annum rate equal to the JPMorgan Chase prime rate (determined as of the Closing Date), within two (2) Business Days

of final determination of the Final NAV Transfer Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by the receiving Party.

(i) Newco shall use the Restructuring Fund to pay any Restructuring Liabilities or Transition Restructuring Costs of Newco (as well as any costs to third party publishers pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) of the Branding Agreement) that are not included in the Closing Date NAV but that are incurred or accrued prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (“Shared Post-Closing Costs”). Within ten (10) Business Days after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Newco shall deliver to a representative of the Government Shareholders designated by the Government Shareholders after the Closing (the “Government Shareholder Representative”), a statement setting forth in reasonable detail such Shared Post-Closing Costs. The Government Shareholder Representative shall have 30 calendar days following receipt of such statement to deliver to Newco a written notice that the Government Shareholder Representative disputes Newco’s calculation of any of the Shared Post-Closing Costs, which notice of dispute shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for each element of such dispute. Any disputes shall be resolved by the Steering Committee in accordance with Section 4.10. If the Government Shareholder Representative does not dispute Newco’s statement of the Shared Post-Closing Costs, or if it disputes such statement then after resolution, Newco shall within ten (10) Business Days thereafter distribute 40% of any amounts remaining in the Restructuring Fund (after giving effect to the final determination of the amount of Shared Post-Closing Costs in accordance with the preceding sentences) to the Government Shareholders pro rata based on the number of shares of Newco Common Stock and Newco Non-Voting Common Stock that such Government Shareholders held prior to the Government Buy-Back (without giving effect to any such shares held by any other Persons).

repurchase agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Newco and the Company all of the outstanding shares of Newco Common Stock and Newco Non-Voting Common Stock held by such Government Shareholder (the “Repurchased Shares”), in exchange for (i) cash with respect to each Repurchased Share in the amount of the Government Buy-Back Price to the fullest extent of lawfully available funds, and (ii) the issuance of a warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (the “Warrant”), which will permit the holder thereof to purchase a number of shares of Newco Common Stock equal to the number of Repurchased Shares at a per share price equal to the Government Buy-Back Price subject to and in accordance with the terms of such Warrant (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Government Buy-Back Consideration”).

(d) Nothing in this Section 2.07 shall be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Other Business Assets or the Excluded Assets any Action, asset, contract, Permit or claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 2.07, Section 4.02 and Section 4.04 shall not apply to any consents or approvals that may be required in connection with the provision of any services under any Ancillary Agreement to the extent any such Ancillary Agreement sets forth the procedures and obligations with respect to obtaining any such consents or approvals.

ARTICLE IV.

COVENANTS

4.01 Bulk Transfer Laws. Each Party waives compliance by the other Parties and their Subsidiaries with any laws relating to bulk transfers and bulk sales applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.02 Cooperation.

(a) After the Closing, in the event and for so long as Newco or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates is contesting or defending any pending or threatened Action resulting or arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or any activity or transaction relating to the Other Businesses or the U.S. Government Business that arose prior to the Closing or compliance (or lack of compliance) by the other Party with any applicable law pertaining to the Other Businesses or the U.S. Government Business prior to the Closing, the Company or Newco, as applicable, shall, upon reasonable prior notice, and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with normal business operations of such Party, reasonably cooperate with the other Party and cause its officers or employees, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its directors, partners, managers, representatives, agents or Affiliates involved or formerly involved in the operation of the Other Businesses or the U.S. Government Business as it relates to the subject matter of such Action, to reasonably cooperate with the other Party in furnishing information, evidence, testimony and other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the other Party in connection with any such Action. To the extent that either Party receives a notice to appear, subpoena, complaint or other such notification related to an Action that should be properly addressed to the non-receiving Party, the receiving Party shall provide the non-receiving Party with such notice to appear, subpoena, complaint or other such notification promptly after receipt and in any event within five (5) Business Days of having received such notification. The covenants contained in this Section 4.02(a) shall not apply in connection with an adverse Action between the Parties (or any of their Affiliates), and shall not be in lieu of or otherwise limit the indemnification obligations of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Merger Agreement. After consultation with the other Party, a Party may restrict such cooperation and provision of such information to the extent such Party reasonably believes (after consultation with counsel) necessary to (i) comply with its existing confidentiality agreements with third parties, provided that such Party has used its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent to disclosure, (ii) prevent a violation of applicable laws, or (iii) preserve legal privilege that such Party or any of its Affiliates otherwise would be entitled to assert; provided, however, that in each case the applicable Party shall notify the other Party of the existence of such information and reasonably cooperate to find a way to allow provision of such information to the extent doing so would not (in the good faith belief of the disclosing Party after consultation with outside counsel) reasonably be likely to (x) result in a violation of the applicable agreement or law, or (y) undermine the applicable privilege.

(b) Subject to the indemnification provisions of Article VI, the Party requesting such assistance shall pay or reimburse the other Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket

expenses incurred by the Party providing such assistance in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all travel, lodging and meal expenses.

(c) From and after the Closing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, cooperate with one another to ensure the orderly transition of the Other Businesses from the Company to Newco and to minimize any disruption to the Other Businesses and to the Company’s remaining businesses that might result from such transition.

(d) At all times after the Closing Date, each of the Company and Newco and their respective Affiliates authorizes Newco and its Affiliates, on the one hand, or the Company and its Affiliates, on the other hand, as the case may be, to receive and open all mail, email, telegrams, packages and other communications received by it and not unambiguously intended for such other Party (or its Affiliates) or any of such other Party’s (or its Affiliates’) officers or directors, and to retain the same to the extent that they relate to the business of the receiving Party. To the extent that any such communications relate to the business of the non-receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, email, telegrams, packages or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the other Party. In addition, (x) to the extent that Newco or any of its Affiliates during the Restricted Period receives any communications or inquiries regarding the provision of Company Services, it shall use good faith efforts to promptly (and in the case of a request for a proposal to provide Company Services within five (5) Business Days) forward such communication or inquiry to the officers of the Company designated by the Steering Committee after the Closing to receive such communications and inquiries, and (y) to the extent that the Company or any of its Affiliates during the Restricted Period receives any communications or inquiries regarding the provision of Newco Services (but excluding the provision of Company Excepted Services), it shall use good faith efforts to promptly (and in the case of a request for a proposal to provide Newco Services (other than Company Excepted Services) within five (5) Business Days) forward such communication or inquiry to the officers of Newco designated by the Steering Committee after the Closing to receive such communications and inquiries. The provisions of this Section 4.02(d) are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by any of the Parties or their respective Affiliates to permit the other Party to accept service of process on its or its Affiliates’ behalf, and neither Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other Party or its Affiliates for service of process purposes.

(e) Following notification by Newco to the Company of Newco’s new email domain name, the Company, until the date that is three (3) years after the Closing, shall cause all emails addressed to user names for Newco Employees under the “xxx.xxx” email domain name to be immediately routed to email accounts bearing the corresponding user names under Newco’s new email domain name; provided, however, that, in connection therewith, the Company shall be permitted to employ any spam filtering methods it uses in the ordinary course of its own operations.

(f) From and after the Closing Date until the date of the final payment of any amounts from the Spin-Off Escrow Agreement Account under Section 4.4(c) of the Employee Matters Agreement, the funds in the Spin-Off Agreement Escrow Account shall be available to reimburse the Company and Newco for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with obtaining third-party consents or approvals pursuant to Sections 2.07(a), 2.07(b)

and 4.04; provided that the Parties shall be entitled to such reimbursement under this Section 4.02(f) solely to the extent (1) of remaining funds available, if any, in the Spin-Off Agreement Escrow Account, and (2) such cost or expense has not otherwise been reflected in the calculation of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment or the Final Working Capital Adjustment (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), in the case of costs and expenses of the Company, or the Estimated NAV Transfer Adjustment or the Final NAV Transfer Adjustment, in the case of costs and expenses of Newco. Claims for reimbursement under this Section 4.02(f) shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. Claims may not be submitted until the Final NAV Transfer Amount has been finally determined, and the relevant payment has been made, under Sections 2.03(g) and 2.03(h). If, after giving effect to such payment, there are funds remaining in the Spin-Off Agreement Escrow Account, thereafter, within a reasonable period following the incurrence of any reimbursable costs or expenses by a Party pursuant to Sections 2.07(a), 2.07(b) or 4.04, the Party incurring such costs or expenses shall deliver to the other Party a statement setting forth the amount of such costs and expenses incurred (together with reasonably detailed back-up data to support such costs and expenses) and a request for reimbursement from the Spin-Off Agreement Escrow Account. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request, Newco and the Company shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute the amount of such costs to the requesting Party from the available funds, if any, in the Spin-Off Agreement Escrow Account. In the event insufficient funds remain available in the Spin-Off Agreement Escrow Account to satisfy any such claim, the costs and expenses incurred pursuant to Sections 2.07(a), 2.07(b) or 4.04 shall be borne by the Party that received or was to receive the relevant asset or for whose benefit the relevant liability was assumed or was to be assumed.

4.03 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Company and Newco shall bear their own costs and expenses.

4.04 Further Assurances; Books and Records. From time to time after the Closing Date, the Company and Newco shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, promptly execute and deliver, without consideration, such documents as any of them may reasonably request, including, without limitation, assignment and assumption agreements with respect to the Assumed Contracts, deeds, bills of sale, consents and other instruments in addition to those specified in this Agreement, in such form as may be appropriate, or take any additional actions, in each case, if reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to Newco or the Company (or to more effectively record or evidence the same), and to put Newco or the Company in actual possession and control of, in the case of Newco, the Other Businesses and the Other Business Assets, free and clear of Encumbrances that are Excluded Liabilities other than Permitted Encumbrances, and, in the case of the Company, the U.S. Government Business and the Excluded Assets, free and clear of Encumbrances that are Assumed Liabilities other than Permitted Encumbrances, and to cause Newco, in the case of Assumed Liabilities, and the Company, in the case of Excluded Liabilities, to effectively assume (or to more effectively record or evidence the same) such liabilities, including, without limitation, using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary third-party consents or approvals; provided that any costs and expenses incurred to obtain any such consent or approval shall be borne by the Parties in accordance with Section 4.02(f). In addition, each Party shall promptly provide the other Party with copies of all Books and Records owned or controlled by

such Party to the extent that they are related to the Other Businesses, in the case of such Books and Records held by the Company or the U.S. Government Subsidiaries, or the U.S. Government Business, in the case of such Books and Records held by Newco or the Other Subsidiaries, and to the extent they already exist, including upon either Party’s reasonable request. In the case of such Books and Records to be delivered to either Party that are maintained in electronic format, such Books and Records shall be delivered in an electronic format reasonably requested by the requesting Party to the extent practicable.

4.05 Administration of Accounts.

(a) All payments and reimbursements made by any third-party in the name of or to the Company or any of its Affiliates that constitute Other Business Assets that are received after the Closing shall be held by the Company in trust for the benefit of Newco and, promptly upon receipt by the Company or such Affiliate of any such payment or reimbursement, the Company shall pay over or cause to be paid over to Newco the amount of such payment or reimbursement without deduction, withholding or right of set-off.

(b) All payments and reimbursements by any third-party in the name of or to Newco or any of its Affiliates that constitute Excluded Assets that are received after the Closing shall be held by Newco in trust for the benefit of the Company and, promptly upon receipt by Newco or such Affiliate of any such payment or reimbursement, Newco shall pay over or cause to be paid over to the Company the amount of such payment or reimbursement without deduction, withholding or right of set-off.

4.06 Confidentiality and U.S. Export-Controlled Information. For a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Company, on the one hand, and Newco, on the other hand, shall hold and shall cause their respective Affiliates to hold, and shall each cause their respective past, present and future representatives and employees to hold, in confidence and not disclose, use or release without the prior written consent of the other Party, any and all Confidential Information (as defined herein) of the other Party; provided that (a) the Parties may use, or may permit use of, Confidential Information of the other Party that was disclosed prior to the Closing Date in accordance with any applicable terms of the Ancillary Agreements, and (b) the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective representatives and employees who have a need to know and use such information for legal, tax, accounting and financial reporting purposes and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential and not use such information to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties hereto and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the Company, on the one hand, and Newco, on the other hand, as the case may be, shall be responsible, (ii) if the Parties hereto, their Affiliates or their representatives are compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of independent legal counsel, by other requirements of applicable law, or (iii) to the extent reasonably necessary to be disclosed in connection with the resolution of any dispute with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company, on the one hand, or Newco, on the other hand, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide to the other a reasonable opportunity to

seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which both Parties shall cooperate in obtaining (each at its own expense). In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party who is required to disclose Confidential Information shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed. “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary technical, economic, environmental, operational, financial and/or other business information or material of one Party or its Subsidiaries which, prior to, on or following the Closing Date, has been disclosed by the Company or its Affiliates (including the U.S. Government Subsidiaries), on the one hand, or Newco or its Affiliates (including the Other Subsidiaries), on the other hand, in written, oral (including by recording), electronic or visual form to, or otherwise has come into the possession of, the other Party or its Subsidiaries, including pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or as a result of the Company’s direct or indirect ownership of the Other Businesses and the Other Business Assets prior to the Closing (except, in each case, to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (1) in the public domain through no fault of such Party or its Affiliates, (2) lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party or its Affiliates to which it was furnished, or (3) developed by or for that Party without reference to the Confidential Information; provided, however, in the case of subclause (2), that such sources did not provide such information in breach of any confidentiality or other legal obligations of which the receiving Party had knowledge).

4.07 Transferring Employees.

(a) At the close of business on the Closing Date, any person who is a Newco Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Company or any U.S. Government Subsidiary and shall automatically become an employee of Newco or the Other Subsidiaries. Except where a Newco Employee’s employment transfers automatically to Newco or the Other Subsidiaries in connection with the Spin Off pursuant to applicable law, Newco shall, or shall cause the Other Subsidiaries to, offer employment, effective as of the Spin Off, to each Newco Employee who is employed by the Company or any of the U.S. Government Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Spin Off. The Parties hereto intend that there shall be continuity of employment with respect to all Newco Employees. On and immediately after the Closing Date, Newco or the Other Subsidiaries shall continue to provide employment to all Newco Employees on substantially comparable terms and conditions of employment (including salary or hourly wages, benefits, job responsibility and location) in the aggregate as those provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. Offers of employment made by Newco pursuant to this Agreement shall be sufficient to avoid statutory and contractual or other severance or separation obligations. At the close of business on the Closing Date, the Company Employees identified on Section 4.11(k) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as being employed by Newco or an Other Subsidiary shall (i) become an employee of the Company or a U.S. Government Subsidiary or (ii) shall remain employed by Newco or an Other Subsidiary for a period of up to one (1) year following the Spin Off Date and shall continue to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of a secondment agreement to be entered into between Newco or an Other Subsidiary, as the case may be, and the Company. The Company shall, or shall cause a U.S. Subsidiary to, offer employment, effective as of the Spin Off or the end of the secondment, to each such Company Employee identified on Section 4.11(k) of the Company Disclosure Schedule who is employed by Newco or any of the Other Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Spin Off. The Parties hereto intend that there shall be

continuity of employment with respect to all Company Employees. On and immediately after the Closing Date or the end of any secondment referred to in this Section 4.07(a), the Company or a U.S. Government Subsidiary shall continue to provide employment to all Company Employees whose employment is transferred to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.07(a) on substantially comparable terms and conditions of employment (including salary or hourly wages, benefits, job responsibility and location) in the aggregate as those provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Except as expressly provided otherwise in Article IV of the Employee Matters Agreement with respect to Newco Workers’ Compensation Employees and Newco Disabled Employees (as each term is defined in Article IX of the Employee Matters Agreement), all Newco Employees shall cease to be active participants in any and all Company Plans as of the Closing Date, and no additional benefits for such Newco Employees shall accrue under the Company Plans in respect of periods following the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Company and Newco shall enter into an “Employee Matters Agreement” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, which shall, among other things, allocate the liabilities, obligations and commitments with respect to the Newco Employees and the Company Employees following the Closing Date.

(c) The Company and Newco agree to cooperate reasonably and in good faith to minimize any costs that may be borne by the Company or Newco or their respective Subsidiaries as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, severance costs) and to cooperate reasonably and in good faith on other transition matters relating to the Newco Employees and their benefits; provided, however, that Newco shall indemnify the Company Indemnified Parties (in accordance with Article VI as an Assumed Liability) from and against any and all Losses incurred by any of them arising as a result of the actual or constructive termination of employment of any Newco Employee by the Company or its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Spin Off or by Newco following the Spin Off (including, but not limited to, in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 4.07 shall (i) cause any employee to be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment; and (ii) no transfer of employment between the Company and Newco before the Spin Off shall be deemed a termination of employment for any purposes. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute an amendment of any Company Plan or any Newco Plan. Nothing in this Section 4.07, whether express or implied, shall create any third-party beneficiary or other right in any Person other than the Company and Newco (including, but not limited to, any Newco Employee or any participant in any Company Plan). Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or create an employment agreement with any Newco Employee or constitute an amendment to any Company Plan or any other plan or arrangement covering the Newco Employees.

(d) Newco and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith in providing to the other party hereto or labor union in which Newco Employees participate or any applicable works council in due time all information required by law with respect to (i) Newco and the Other Subsidiaries, (ii) the transfer of the Other Businesses pursuant to the Spin Off, (iii) the transfer of the Newco Employees to Newco and the Other Subsidiaries in connection with the Spin Off, and (iv) the compensation and benefits to be provided to Newco Employees following the Spin Off.

4.08 Guarantees; Letters of Credit. Prior to the Closing Date, (a) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace or cause to be terminated, in either case, with no further liabilities or obligations on the part of Newco or any Other Subsidiary, all guarantees (and arrangements having the economic effect of a guarantee), letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds, customs bonds or similar obligations of Newco or the Other Subsidiaries or Other Businesses with respect to any obligation (other than an Assumed Liability) of the Company or any of its Affiliates, other than Newco or an Other Subsidiary (“Other Business Guarantees”), and (b) Newco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace or cause to be terminated, in either case, with no further liabilities or obligations on the part of the Company or any U.S. Government Subsidiary, all guarantees (and arrangements having the economic effect of a guarantee), letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds, customs bonds or similar obligations of the Company or any of the U.S. Government Subsidiaries with respect to any obligation (other than an Excluded Liability) of Newco or any of its Affiliates, other than the Company or a U.S. Government Subsidiary (“Company Guarantees”); provided that, in each case, the Company and Newco may make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the other Party that will allow the Company and the U.S. Government Subsidiaries, in the case of the Company Guarantees, and Newco and the Other Subsidiaries, in the case of Other Business Guarantees, to be released from and have no liability under the applicable credit support arrangements. In the event that any Other Business Guarantee or Company Guarantee has not been terminated as of the Closing, from and after the Closing, (A) the Company shall indemnify the Newco Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses incurred by any of them relating to the Other Business Guarantees, and shall not amend, modify or renew any agreement subject to an Other Business Guarantee without the consent of Newco, in its sole discretion, and (B) Newco shall indemnify the Company Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses incurred by any of them relating to the Company Guarantees, and shall not amend, modify or renew any agreement subject to a Company Guarantee without the consent of the Company, in its sole discretion. Any such indemnity shall be provided in accordance with Article VI as an Excluded Liability (in the case of an Other Business Guarantee) or an Assumed Liability (in the case of a Company Guarantee).

4.09 Covenants Not To Compete.

(a) Newco agrees that, for the Restricted Period, it and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as a prime contractor or a subcontractor, provide, offer to provide, sell, offer to sell or advertise for the provision or sale of Company Services (provided that Newco, directly or indirectly, may provide, offer to provide, sell, offer to sell or advertise for the provision or sale of (x) services or products in respect of World Bank Engagements outside of the United States and (y) Cybersecurity Services, (i) outside of the United States or (ii) in the United States pursuant to a purchase order, contract, agreement or other obligation (provided that Cybersecurity Services shall represent less than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate revenues expected to be earned under such purchase order, contract, agreement or other obligation) with a Person for which Newco or a Subsidiary of Newco is the prime contractor, but only, in the case of clause (ii), to the extent such Cybersecurity Services are either (A) subcontracted to the Company or (B) if required by the client, subcontracted to another third-party); engage or participate in the activities of a Company Competitor with respect to providing Company Services; assist or advise (including through the provision of Newco Services) a Company Competitor with respect to providing Company Services; have an interest in a Company

Competitor as an employee, owner, partner, shareholder, officer, director or member; or knowingly permit its name to be used by a Company Competitor in connection with providing any services (other than Newco Services); provided, however, that Newco, directly or indirectly, may provide Newco Services as a prime contractor or a subcontractor to Company Competitors, including without limitation services and products relating to generally improving internal operations, restructuring operations, reducing costs and developing business strategies, so long as such services and products, singly and in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to assist such Company Competitor to develop or implement a strategy or capability to deliver Company Services. The foregoing shall not prohibit Newco from providing Newco Services to a Company Competitor so long as (i) such services are addressed to operations of such Company Competitor that are unrelated to the Company Services and (ii) such services have only an incidental impact, if any, on such Company Competitor’s activities and operations that are competitive with the Company Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Newco and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to provide, and it shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 4.09(a) if Newco or any of its Subsidiaries provides, products or services that would otherwise constitute a breach of this Section 4.09(a) to a Person (a “Pre-Closing Newco Client”), during the Restricted Period if such products or services are provided pursuant to a contract, for which the officer in charge of the applicable project (a “Pre-Closing Newco Project”) is a Commercial Partner or a Newco Employee, either (i) entered into prior to the Closing or (ii) entered into after Closing, but in the case of clause (ii) only if a proposal was sent to such Pre-Closing Newco Client prior to the Closing. Newco and its Subsidiaries shall not be entitled during the Restricted Period to enter into an extension of a Pre-Closing Newco Project that would otherwise constitute a breach of this Section 4.09(a) (a “Pre-Closing Newco Project Extension”) unless they offer to co-plan and co-market any such Pre-Closing Newco Project Extension with the Company under Section 4.09(f); provided, however, that if the Company does not agree within ten (10) Business Days thereafter to participate in such co-planning and co-marketing, subject to the final sentence of this Section 4.09(a), Newco and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to provide, and it shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 4.09(a) if Newco or any of its Subsidiaries provides, such Pre-Closing Newco Project Extension; provided further that Newco and its Subsidiaries shall not be entitled to undertake a Pre-Closing Newco Project Extension with any of the Persons or U.S. government services divisions (as applicable) that it would not be allowed to sell services to pursuant to the next sentence of this Section 4.09(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Newco agrees that, for the Restricted Period, it and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as a prime contractor or a subcontractor, provide, offer to provide, sell, offer to sell or advertise for the provision or sale of any services (including Company Services and Newco Services) to (x) any of the following Persons, their Subsidiaries or the Prohibited Successors of either of the foregoing: Electronic Data Services Corporation, Xxxxxx Engineering Group, Science Applications International Corporation, BearingPoint, Inc., Accenture Ltd., CACI International Inc., ManTech International Corporation, Xxxxxxx Associates, Inc., VSE Corporation, SRA International, Inc., Deloitte Consulting LLP, ARINC Incorporated, Computer Sciences Corporation, Scitor Corporation, SRI International, Alion Science and Technology, MTC Technologies Inc., XX Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, SPARTA, Inc., or Wyle Laboratories, Inc., or (y) the U.S. government services divisions of the following Persons or their Subsidiaries or the Prohibited Successors of such divisions: BAE Systems, The Boeing Company, General Dynamics, Xxxxxx Corp., IBM, L3 Communications, Lockheed Xxxxxx, Raytheon or Northrop Grumman (in the

case of this clause (y), only to the extent that the primary purpose of such division or other internal organizational construct of such Person is to provide those specific services set forth on Schedule 4.09(a) (the “Core Company Services”) to a U.S. Government Body); provided that Newco shall not be prohibited from providing to any Person identified in clause (y) of this sentence (other than any U.S. government services division or other internal organizational construct of such Person whose primary purpose is to provide Core Company Services to a U.S. Government Body) Newco Services so long as (i) such services are addressed to operations of such Person that are unrelated to the Company Services and (ii) such services have only an incidental impact, if any, on such Person’s activities and operations that are competitive with the Company Services.

(b) The Company agrees that, for the Restricted Period, it and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as a prime contractor or a subcontractor, provide, offer to provide, sell, offer to sell or advertise for the provision or sale of any consulting services, either management or technical, or any related products to any Person, other than the provision, sale, offering or advertising of Company Services (the “Newco Services”); engage or participate in the activities of a Newco Competitor with respect to providing the Newco Services (other than Company Excepted Services); assist or advise (including through the provision of Company Services) a Newco Competitor with respect to providing the Newco Services (other than Company Excepted Services); have an interest in a Newco Competitor as an employee, owner, partner, shareholder, officer, director or member; or knowingly permit its name to be used by a Newco Competitor in connection with providing any services (other than Company Services or Company Excepted Services), in each case anywhere in the Newco Covered Territories; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Company may acquire a Person that provides Newco Services (a “Commercial Acquired Company”) and such Person may thereafter continue to provide such Newco Services if the Company and such Person do not use the name “Booz” or any derivation thereof in connection with the provision of such Newco Services by such Person after such acquisition and during the Restricted Period; (ii) the Company may have such contact with foreign Governmental Entities or other Persons in connection with Cybersecurity Services, Foreign Government Projects, International Defense Projects and World Bank Engagements and with the sale or provision of the services and products described in Sections 1.45(i), (vi) and (vii) and 4.09(b)(iii)(A), (C) and (D) as is necessary or reasonably appropriate to carry on the U.S. Government Business relating to, and to perform such, Cybersecurity Services, Foreign Government Projects, International Defense Projects and World Bank Engagements and provide such services and products described in Sections 1.45(i), (vi) and (vii) and 4.09(b)(iii)(A), (C) and (D); provided, however, that, with respect to Cybersecurity Services and the services and products described in Section 1.45(vii), such contact permitted pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not consist of any proactive marketing of products and services by the Company or its Subsidiaries (except in connection with the provision of services and products, as contemplated by Section 4.09(f)); and (iii) the Company may provide, as a prime contractor or subcontractor, services and products to (A) Buyer Entities, (B) any Persons in connection with the GSA Required Engagements, (C) the non-governmental and not-for-profit organizations set forth on Schedule 4.09(b) and (D) commercial entities in connection with such entities’ sale of services equivalent to the Company Services (the services and products described in clause (iii) being the “Company Excepted Services”). The Company agrees that, to the extent it or its Subsidiaries provide the Company Excepted Services described in Section 4.09(b)(iii)(B), it will, to the extent permitted

by applicable law and the terms of the applicable client engagements, provide notice to Newco upon Newco’s request (not more than four times during any 12-month period), during the Restricted Period, of the aggregate value of such Company Excepted Services and a brief breakdown and description thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.09(b), the provision by the Company of any Newco Services to any Person shall not be considered a violation of this Section 4.09(b) if the opportunity for such engagement was originated with no proactive marketing to such Person and the revenues generated from the provision of such Newco Services to all such Persons does not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate during any 12-month period during the Restricted Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to provide, and it shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 4.09(b) if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provides, products or services that would otherwise constitute a breach of this Section 4.09(b) to a Person (a “Pre-Closing Company Client”) during the Restricted Period if such products or services are provided pursuant to a contract, for which the officer in charge of the applicable project (a “Pre-Closing Company Project”) is a Government Shareholder or a Company Employee, either (i) entered into prior to the Closing or (ii) entered into after Closing, but in the case of clause (ii) only if a proposal was sent to such Pre-Closing Company Client prior to the Closing. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be entitled during the Restricted Period to enter into an extension of a Pre-Closing Company Project that would otherwise constitute a breach of this Section 4.09(b) (a “Pre-Closing Company Project Extension”) unless they offer to co-plan and co-market any such Pre-Closing Company Project Extension with Newco; provided, however, that if Newco does not agree within ten (10) Business Days thereafter to participate in such co-planning and co-marketing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to provide, and it shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 4.09(b) if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provides, such Pre-Closing Company Project Extension.

(c) Each of Newco and the Company agrees that for the Restricted Period it and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i) solicit or attempt to solicit any customer of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries to adversely change its relationship with or cease doing business with the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(ii) solicit or attempt to solicit any supplier, distributor, consultant, licensor, licensee or other business relation of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries to adversely change its relationship with or cease doing business with the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(iii) hire or attempt to hire any Person who was at the Closing or is then a director, officer, employee, consultant or agent of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than employees of such Person who are also shareholders of such Person, who are the subject of Sections 4.09(d) and 4.09(e), and administrative staff), unless such Person’s employment with the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries had previously been terminated by such Party or its applicable Subsidiary (x) pursuant to a general reduction in workforce or (y) without cause.

(d) Newco agrees that, until the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) a Change of Control of the Company (which shall not include the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement), Newco and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, hire or attempt to hire any Person who was, at or prior to the Closing, or is then, a shareholder of the Company (other than a Commercial Partner), unless such Person’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries had been terminated (x) more than 12 months prior to the Closing or (y) by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary (A) pursuant to a general reduction in workforce or (B) without cause. In addition, Newco agrees that, during the Restricted Period, it and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, acquire a Company Competitor (whether by merger, consolidation or similar transaction or sale or transfer of voting shares, capital stock, assets or otherwise). Newco agrees that, if an Affiliate using the Booz Capital Marks (as defined in the Branding Agreement) ceases to be an Affiliate of Newco prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, prior to the effective date of such cessation, Newco shall cause such Person, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, to enter into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which such Person agrees to be bound by the restrictive terms and conditions and for the periods set forth in Section 4.09(a), 4.09(c) and this 4.09(d), mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Branding Agreement, the Company will not be required to enter into a written license agreement with any such former Affiliate of Newco under Article XII of the Branding Agreement unless and until such former Affiliate has entered into the agreement referred to in the sentence immediately preceding this sentence.

(e) The Company agrees that, until the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) a Change of Control of Newco (which shall not include the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, hire or attempt to hire any Person who was, at or prior to the Closing, a Commercial Partner, or is then a shareholder of Newco, unless such Person’s employment (x) with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries had been terminated more than 12 months prior to the Closing or (y) with Newco or any of its Subsidiaries had been terminated by Newco or its applicable Subsidiary (A) pursuant to a general reduction in workforce or (B) without cause.

(f) Each of Newco and the Company recognizes and acknowledges the mutual benefit to both Parties in continuing to cooperate in identifying and developing opportunities for joint project engagements and in sharing information regarding potential engagements. In particular (but subject to, and without limiting, the restrictions contained in Section 4.09(a) or 4.09(b) (including the definitions used therein)), Newco recognizes and acknowledges that (x) the U.S. Government Business has in the past conducted and, as of the Closing Date, conducts Newco Services, (y) the Company expects to continue to conduct such services in a manner and in volumes consistent with historical practices and (z) the Company must maintain the conduct of such services in a manner and in volumes consistent with past practice in order to support the capabilities of the Company and reasonableness of the prices offered by the Company under, and to maintain and compete for, in each case, Federal Supply Schedule Contracts at labor rates consistent with past practices as adjusted for annual and other increases. As a result, during the Restricted Period, each of Newco and the Company agrees to cooperate in good faith and to facilitate further cooperation among their respective partners to (i) identify potential opportunities for joint project engagements and engagements for which the other Party would be well suited, (ii) subject to the terms of applicable client engagements and other applicable confidentiality restrictions, share such information in clause (i) with the other

Party, from time to time, (iii) co-plan and co-market the provision of products and services to Persons mutually agreed by the Parties or their respective applicable partners as set forth below, (iv) commit to devote substantially comparable partner-level, client-marketing days to such co-marketing subject to the restrictions set forth below, and (v) use good faith efforts to ensure that the time and effort invested by each Party and its employees results in revenue recognition reasonably consistent with marketing activities in the commercial consulting market, in each case, anywhere in the world. The Parties anticipate that the healthcare, information technology, financial services and energy markets present significant opportunities for cooperation. This provision is intended to memorialize the Parties’ desire to cooperate in good faith, as set forth above and below, and shall not be construed to limit any additional cooperation as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Parties or their respective partners. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Newco and the Company agrees as follows. From time to time during the Restricted Period:

(i) Each of Newco and the Company or their respective partners shall identify joint project engagements that are scheduled to expire within the immediately following twelve (12) month period and shall co-plan and co-market the provision of similar products and services to the applicable clients;

(ii) Newco must deploy an amount of partner-level employee time at least equal to the amount of partner-level employee time that the Company deploys to co-market products or services to clients under this Section 4.09(f); provided, however, that, subject to Section 4.09(f)(iv) below, Newco shall not be required to deploy more than forty (40) client marketing days per fiscal quarter (with the initial quarter commencing on the Closing Date);

(iii) The co-marketing and performance of any project approved in accordance with this Section 4.09(f) shall be led by a partner-level employee of Newco, who shall be the client service officer (who shall have the functions and responsibilities comparable to those of a client service officer of the Company as of the date of this Agreement) with respect to such project, and a partner-level employee of the Company (any Person that acquires products and/or services from Newco and the Company pursuant to the co-marketing efforts set forth in this Section 4.09(f) is referred to herein as a “Co-Marketing Customer”); provided that nothing in this Section 4.09(f)(iii) shall limit the Parties’ or their respective partners’ right, if they so desire, to delegate the co-planning and co-marketing activities contemplated by this Section 4.09(f) other than the initial marketing presentation to a client, which shall be made by partner-level employees of each Party;

(iv) If either Party in good faith believes that the co-marketing contemplated by this Section 4.09(f) has failed to result in revenue recognition reasonably consistent with marketing activities in the commercial consulting market, such Party may (x) require that the Steering Committee consider and implement market-based planning procedures in order to fully realize the intentions of this Section 4.09(f) (and, as part of such consideration, the Steering Committee may consider releasing, and determine by a vote of a majority of its

members to release, the Company from certain of the restrictions contained in Section 4.09(b)) and the Steering Committee shall so implement such procedures and (y) require that each Party devote a greater amount of partner-level employee time to the co-marketing efforts contemplated by this Section 4.09(f) (provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to deploy more than fifty (50) client marketing days per fiscal quarter);

(v) The marketing, provision or sale of any products and services to any Co-Marketing Customer by the Company and Newco under this Section 4.09(f) shall be at rates consistent with historical pricing for similar products and services for each Party; and

(vi) Each of Newco and the Company or their respective partners shall provide the other Party or its respective partners with lists and other information identifying potential project engagements or Persons of which the providing Party has become aware, that the providing Party determined not to pursue and that, in the good faith judgment of such providing Party, represents an opportunity (x) which is a potential candidate for co-marketing and co-planning under this Section 4.09(f) or (y) for which the other Party would be well suited.

(g) If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in this Section 4.09 is invalid or unenforceable, then the Parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. This Section 4.09 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. The Parties agree that this Section 4.09 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the Company’s and Newco’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Company and Newco, as the case may be, and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on the Company or Newco.

(h) To the extent either Party wishes to seek a waiver of the restrictions contained in this Section 4.09, such Party shall provide a written request, with reasonable details, regarding the exception sought, to the points of contact from Newco and the Company designated after the Closing by the Steering Committee. The points of contact so designated by the Steering Committee shall promptly review such request, but no Party shall have any obligation to grant any such waiver.

4.10 Steering Committee.

(a) Each Party shall appoint three of its senior executive officers promptly after the Closing to a joint committee (the “Steering Committee”) to address and attempt to resolve any issues or disputes that may arise under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. Any member of the Steering Committee shall be entitled to delegate his or her responsibilities to one or more officers of the Party such member represents on the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee shall meet every thirteen (13) weeks (or such other time period mutually

agreed by the Parties) to discuss any issues or disputes that may have arisen under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement until such time as the Parties jointly determine that such meetings are no longer necessary or appropriate. Such meetings shall be held either in person, by teleconference, by videoconference or by email, as determined by a majority of the members of the Steering Committee. In addition to such regular meetings, the Steering Committee shall, within ten (10) Business Days after any issue or dispute under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is referred to it in writing (which may include email) by either the Company or Newco or as otherwise required under any applicable Ancillary Agreement (or such other time period mutually agreed by the Parties), convene in person, by teleconference, by videoconference or by email to discuss such issue or dispute. The representatives of the Parties serving on the Steering Committee shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such issue or dispute brought before the Steering Committee. If the Steering Committee is unable to resolve any such issue or dispute within ten (10) Business Days (or such other time period mutually agreed by the Parties) after it initially meets to discuss such issue or dispute, such issue or dispute shall be referred to the chief executive officers of the Company and Newco and, if they cannot resolve such issue or dispute within twenty (20) Business Days (or such other time period mutually agreed by the Parties) thereafter, either Party may bring an action in accordance with Section 7.12 (or the corresponding provisions in the applicable Ancillary Agreement) to resolve such issue or dispute.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, when a Party makes a good faith determination that a breach of the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other immediate injunctive relief is appropriate, then such Party may make immediate application to a competent court for appropriate provisional remedies in accordance with Section 7.13 (or any similar provision for specific performance in the applicable Ancillary Agreement) without regard to the requirements of Section 4.10(a).

4.11 Export Control Matters.

(a) The Company shall retain the current registration (M-5265) with the Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (the “DDTC”) and shall be responsible within five (5) days of the Closing Date to notify the DDTC of the divestiture of Newco. Newco shall promptly register with DDTC as a manufacturer or exporter of defense articles and services.

(b) The Parties shall cooperate in identifying any technical data that is controlled under any U.S. or non-U.S. export control laws, regulations or other restrictions (“Export Controlled Information”). To the extent that any Company employees or agents and any Newco employees or agents remain co-located at a facility, each Party shall identify its employees that are foreign persons for whom a license or other authorization is required for access to Export Controlled Information. In seeking access to Shared Firm Intellectual Property which is also Export Controlled Information, the Party requesting access shall confirm that the person receiving the Export Controlled Information is authorized by citizenship, residency, license or other authorization under the applicable export control laws or regulations governing the Export Controlled Information.

4.12 Post-Closing Actions.

(a) For a period of three (3) years following the Closing, Newco will not redeem, repurchase or otherwise reacquire any shares of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock.

(b) Newco will not cause or permit any of the entity classification elections made pursuant to the steps set forth on Exhibit D to be rescinded or revoked or, in the case of any non-U.S. entity for which an entity classification election was made to change such entity’s classification from an association taxable as a corporation to either a partnership or disregarded entity (each, a “Former CFC”), for a period of five (5) years from such change, cause or permit any subsequent entity classification election to be made to classify such Former CFC as an association taxable as a corporation.

(c) For a period of two (2) years following the Closing, Newco will not (i) cause or permit any shares of Newco Non-Voting Common Stock to be converted into or exchanged for Newco voting stock, (ii) cause or permit any Former CFC to be transferred to an entity classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iii) cause or permit Newco, Newco 2 or Newco 3 to liquidate, dissolve, or convert into or become treated as a disregarded entity or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iv) cause or permit Newco to amend, restate or otherwise modify the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock of Newco attached hereto as Exhibit F or (v) cause or permit Newco 2 to merge with Newco or Newco 3.

4.13 German Pension Plan Matters. In consideration of the Additional Cash Transfer and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Newco agrees that (i) promptly after the Closing, it shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including BASP) to, contribute $50,000,000 to Booz Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx GmbH (Germany), and shall cause Booz Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx GmbH (Germany) to set aside and use such funds, in each case, in a manner appropriate under German law, solely to fund the liabilities of the defined benefit pension plans of Booz Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx GmbH (Germany) and (ii) prior to the end of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, it shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including BASP) to, contribute an amount to Booz Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx GmbH (Germany), and shall cause Booz Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx GmbH (Germany) to set aside and use such funds, in each case, in a manner appropriate under German law and in an amount sufficient, to fully fund the liabilities of the defined benefit pension plans of Booz Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx GmbH (Germany) as of March 31, 2009; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), Newco shall fund such liabilities in a tax efficient manner for both Newco and its Subsidiaries and the participants in such defined benefit pension plans.

5.04 Amendments to Tax Returns; Refunds.

(a) No Tax Returns (other than for Income Taxes that are Excluded Liabilities) filed by the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Other Businesses and with respect to tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date may be amended without Newco’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 10.6 of the Merger Agreement (the “Agreed Value”), and (ii) a taxing authority successfully asserts that the fair market value of the Newco Shares at the time of the Spin Off is in excess of the Agreed Value, Newco shall, subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 5.06, indemnify the Company Indemnified Parties for the resulting increased Pre-Closing Taxes.

(b) Dual Consolidated Losses.

(i) After the Closing Date, Newco and the Company shall file or cause to be filed a New Domestic Use Agreement and Original Elector Statement, as applicable, by the due date (including extensions) of its Tax Return for the year in which the Spin Off occurs and meet all other requirements necessary to prevent the Spin Off or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement from causing the recapture of Dual Consolidated Losses.

(ii) After the Closing Date, Newco shall annually file or cause to be filed by the due date (including extensions) of its Tax Return all reports and certifications that are necessary pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1503(d)-6(g) to prevent the recapture of Dual Consolidated Losses. Upon the occurrence of any subsequent trigger event described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1503(d)-6(e), subject to Section 5.06(b)(iii)(x), Newco shall report the recapture income (and any related interest charge) with its timely filed Tax Return for the year in which the subsequent triggering event occurs.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) the Company shall indemnify the Newco Indemnified Parties for any Losses arising out of or related to the recapture of Dual Consolidated Losses, which recapture results from any action of the Company or its Affiliates (including the Company’s failure to satisfy its obligations described in clause (i) above), and (y) Newco shall indemnify the Company Indemnified Parties for any Losses arising out of or related to the recapture of Dual Consolidated Losses, which recapture results from any action of Newco or its Affiliates (including Newco’s failure to satisfy its obligations described in clauses (i) and (ii) above).

(c) Upon the receipt by an Indemnified Party of any pending or threatened Tax audit or assessment with respect to which an indemnification claim could be made under this Section 5.06, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the receipt of such notice. Such notice shall contain factual information describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any taxing authority in respect of such asserted Tax liability. If the Indemnified Party fails to give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of any asserted Tax liability as required by this Section 5.06, then the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to such Tax liability to the extent that failure adversely affects the rights or ability of the Indemnifying Party to fully contest such asserted Tax liability.

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control, and to represent the interests of all affected taxpayers in, any Tax audit or administrative, judicial or other proceeding that could give rise to an indemnity payment under this Section 5.06 and to employ counsel of its

choice; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall (i) provide the Indemnified Party with a timely copy of all documents (or portions thereof) relating to such audit, examination or proceeding, (ii) consult with the Indemnified Party with respect to any written submissions in connection with such audit, examination or proceeding, (iii) provide the Indemnified Party with the right to participate, at the Indemnified Party’s cost and expense, in any conference with any taxing authority regarding such audit, examination or proceeding, and (iv) not enter into any settlement thereof without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably or untimely withheld.

(e) The Indemnified Party shall execute and deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly upon request, powers of attorney authorizing the Indemnifying Party to extend statutes of limitations, receive refunds, negotiate settlements and take such other actions that the Indemnifying Party reasonably considers to be appropriate in exercising its control rights pursuant to this Section 5.06, and any other documents reasonably necessary to effect the exercising of such control rights.

(f) Capitalized terms used in Section 5.05, this Section 5.06 or Article VI but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

(g) The parties shall treat any and all payments under this Section 5.06 and Article VI as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

5.07 Section 338 Election.

(a) The Company and Newco 3 shall jointly make timely and irrevocable elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any comparable provisions of applicable state and local Tax Laws (collectively, the “Section 338 Election”) with respect to the purchase of any U.S. Other Subsidiaries that are corporations within the meaning of Section 7701 of the Code (the “U.S. Corporate Other Subsidiaries”).

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the Final NAV Transfer Amount, Newco 3 shall prepare and deliver to the Company a determination of the ADSP (as defined in the applicable Regulations under Section 338 of the Code) and an allocation of the ADSP among the assets of the U.S. Corporate Other Subsidiaries prepared in a manner required by Regulations Section 1.338-6 (the “Proposed Allocation”). If the Company objects to the Proposed Allocation, the Company may, within 10 days after delivery of the Proposed Allocation, deliver a notice to Newco 3 setting forth its disagreement with the Proposed Allocation. The Company and Newco 3 shall work together in good faith to resolve all differences with respect to the Proposed Allocation. In the event the Company and Newco 3 are unable to resolve their differences, such differences shall be resolved in a manner similar to that provided in Section 2.03(e). The Proposed Allocation as finally agreed shall be the “Final Allocation,” giving effect to any adjustments the Parties mutually agree to as a result of any Purchase Price adjustment. The Company and Newco 3 shall file all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8883) consistent with the Final Allocation.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, Newco 3 shall prepare IRS Form 8023 and any similar forms required to effectuate the Section 338 Election under applicable state and local Tax Laws. The Company shall cooperate with Newco 3 in the preparation of such forms and shall deliver duly completed and executed copies of the forms on the Closing Date. The Company and Newco 3 shall cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate (including filing such additional forms, Tax Returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required) to effect and preserve the Section 338 Election in accordance with the provisions of Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 and comparable provisions of applicable state and local Tax Laws.

6.04 Indemnification Procedures. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) Any Newco Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party claiming indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any Action asserted against the Indemnified Party by a third-party (“Third Party Action”) in respect of any matter that may be subject to indemnification under Section 6.02 or 6.03 shall promptly (i) notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Third Party Action, and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Action Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Action, a copy of all court papers served with respect to such claim (if any), the Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate of the amount of Losses that are or may be attributable to the Third Party Action, and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to timely provide such Action Notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or omission.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Action so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses related to such Third Party Action or (ii) the Indemnifying Party agrees to bear the cost of one separate counsel to the Indemnified Party, who shall be entitled to participate in (but shall not have the right to control) the defense of such Third Party Action. If the Indemnifying Party has the right to and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third Party Action, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend

such Third Party Action with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such Third Party Action shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party may participate in (but not control) such defense at its expense; provided, however, that if (x) the Indemnifying Party agrees to do so pursuant to clause (ii) above or (y) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes upon the advice of counsel that there exists one or more defenses or counterclaims available to the Indemnified Party that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Action, the Indemnifying Party shall (solely to the extent the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification in respect of such Third Party Action hereunder) bear the cost of one counsel with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall have control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement agreement without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided, further, that such consent shall not be required if (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete, irrevocable and unconditional release by all claimants asserting the claim from all liability to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim, (ii) the settlement agreement does not contain any sanction, restriction or other injunctive or non-monetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (iii) the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged its obligation for the applicable Losses. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Action which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any Action Notice that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.04(b), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, and be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification in respect of such Third Party Action hereunder), the Third Party Action by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settlement. The Indemnified Party shall have control of such defense and proceedings; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Action, if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 6.04(c), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(d) A claim by any Indemnified Party for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Action must be asserted by prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to the claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to timely provide such notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay or omission. As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has given such notice, such Indemnified

Party and the Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, litigation or otherwise) and, within two (2) Business Days of the final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to such claim, as determined hereunder.

(e) The indemnification procedures set forth in Sections 6.04(a) — (d) shall not apply to an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 5.06 of this Agreement.

(f) In the event an Indemnified Party shall recover Losses in respect of a claim of indemnification under this Article VI, no other Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the same Losses in respect of a claim for indemnification.

(g) From and after the delivery of an Action Notice under this Agreement, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, advisors, affiliates and other representatives all reasonable access to the books, records, employees and properties of such Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Action Notice relates. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under the conditions which shall not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Indemnified Party.

6.05 Computation of Indemnifiable Losses.

(a) Any amount payable pursuant to this Article VI shall be: (i) decreased to the extent of any third-party insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party in respect of an indemnifiable Loss, (ii) reduced to take into account any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party in the year of the indemnity payment or any earlier year that arises from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss and increased to take into account any Tax detriment actually suffered by the Indemnified Party that arises from the receipt of such amount payable or the incurrence or payment of any such Loss, and (iii) reduced by any recoveries from third Persons pursuant to indemnification or otherwise in respect thereto.

(b) The amount of indemnification to which a Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article VI shall be determined by: (i) the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, (ii) a judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall agree.

(c) In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from third Persons any amount (other than any amounts deducted pursuant to Section 6.05(a)) in respect of a matter with respect to which such Indemnified Party has received payment satisfying in full all Losses arising from any and all matters subject to indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered, to the extent such amount exceeds the aggregate amount of all Losses arising from matters subject to indemnification hereunder (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of any amount previously received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter.

6.06 Mitigation of Damages. An Indemnified Party shall, to the extent practicable and reasonably within its control and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses of which it has adequate notice; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to act in contravention of applicable law or in contravention of reasonable and customary practices of such Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE VII.

MISCELLANEOUS

7.01 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect except by a written agreement signed by the Parties hereto with the prior written consent of Buyer Parent.

7.02 Waiver of Compliance. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the failure by any Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition under this Agreement may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting such waiver and by Buyer Parent, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. The failure of any Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of such provisions shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

7.03 Survival.

The Parties may not assign this Agreement, or any of their rights or liabilities hereunder (whether by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto; provided, however, that a Party may assign (including by way of a pledge) to its lenders or other financing sources any or all of its rights hereunder (including its rights to seek indemnification hereunder) as collateral security (in either case, which assignment shall not relieve such assigning Party of its obligations hereunder). Any such assignment shall not relieve the Party making the assignment from any liability under this Agreement.

7.08 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments, agreements and understandings (both oral and written) with respect to such subject matter.

7.09 Severability. The illegality or partial illegality of any or all of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, or any provision hereof, and the illegality or partial illegality of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement in any jurisdiction in which such determination of illegality or partial illegality has not been made, except in either case to the extent such illegality or partial illegality causes this Agreement to no longer contain all of the material provisions reasonably expected by the Parties to be contained therein. Upon a determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that this Agreement is fulfilled as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

7.10 Captions. The captions appearing in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and as a reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof. In this Agreement (i) words denoting the singular include the plural and vice versa, (ii) “it” or “its” or words denoting any gender include all genders, (iii) the words “including”, “includes” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or not expressed, (iv) any reference in this Agreement to a Section, Article, Exhibit or Schedule refers to a Section or Article of or an Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement, unless otherwise stated, (v) when calculating the period of time within or following which any act is to be done or steps taken, the date which is the reference day in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, then the period shall end on the next day which is a Business Day, (vi) the

words “shall” and “will” have the same meaning, and (vii) “hereof”, “herein”, “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import shall refer to an agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of such agreement.

This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties hereto. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

7.12 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and all matters arising in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, whether common law or statutory, without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof that would cause the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

(b) The Parties agree that the appropriate, exclusive and convenient forum for any disputes between any of the Parties arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be in any state or federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts solely in respect of any Action arising out of or related to this Agreement. The Parties further agree that the Parties shall not bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court or jurisdiction other than the above specified courts; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Parties to obtain execution of judgment in any other jurisdiction.

Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of Sections 2.05(c)-(e), 4.06, 4.09, 4.10 or 4.11, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss that the other Party would suffer in such event and each Party hereby waives any defense in any action for specific performance brought by the other Party to the effect that a remedy at law would be an adequate remedy for such breach or threatened breach. Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of Sections 2.05(c)-(e), 4.06, 4.09, 4.10 or 4.11, each Party shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under such Section, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be

cumulative. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived. The rights contained in this Section 7.13 shall not be limited or prejudiced in any way by any provisions contained herein relating to monetary damages.
