EXECUTION VERSION
INCREMENTAL ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT No. 2 dated as of
March 11, 2011 (this “Assumption and Amendment Agreement”), among ALION
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (the “Borrower”), the subsidiaries of
the Borrower listed on the signature pages hereto (solely with respect to
Sections 6, 7, 9 and 10 hereof), the Lenders (as defined below) and CREDIT
SUISSE AG, CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH, as administrative agent (in such
capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders, and as issuing bank
(in such capacity, the “Issuing Bank”).
A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of March 22, 2010, as amended by that
certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of June 11, 2010 (as so amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”
and, as amended by this Assumption and Amendment Agreement, the “Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and
the Administrative Agent.
B. The Borrower has requested that (i) the person set forth on Schedule I hereto (the
“Incremental Lender”) provide Incremental Commitments to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23 of
the Existing Credit Agreement in the form of new Revolving Credit Commitments in the aggregate
principal amount of $10,000,000, (ii) the Existing Credit Agreement be amended and restated in the
form of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A to, among other
things, eliminate the distinction between Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments and Tranche B
Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case, as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and
reclassify all such Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments and Tranche B Revolving Credit
Commitments (and the related outstanding Tranche A Revolving Loans and Tranche B Revolving Loans,
in each case as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, if any as Revolving Loans) and (iii) the
Issuing Bank agree to increase the L/C Commitment to $35,000,000.
C. (i) The Incremental Lender is willing to provide the Incremental Commitments to the
Borrower on the Restatement Effective Date (as defined below) and (ii) the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank are willing to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement, in each case on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and
valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Defined Terms; Interpretation; Etc. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The
rules of construction set forth in Section 1.02 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall
apply equally to this Assumption and Amendment Agreement. This Assumption and Amendment Agreement
shall be a “Loan Document” and an “Incremental Assumption Agreement” for all purposes of the
Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 2. Incremental Commitments. (a) Schedule I hereto sets forth the Incremental
Commitment of the Incremental Lender on the Restatement Effective Date.
(b) All such Incremental
Commitments shall constitute “Incremental Commitments” and
“Revolving Credit Commitments” and the Incremental Lender shall be a Revolving Credit Lender with
respect to such Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case for all purposes of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) In order to
effectuate the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated
hereby, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all
actions (including those set forth in Section 2.23 of the Credit Agreement) as may be reasonably
necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to such increase, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if
any) are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their new applicable Pro Rata
Percentages.
SECTION 3. Amendment
and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement. (a) The Borrower, the
Lenders and the Issuing Bank agree that the Existing Credit Agreement (including all exhibits and
schedules thereto) shall be amended and restated on the Restatement Effective Date, such that on
the Restatement Effective Date the terms set forth in Exhibit A hereto shall replace the terms of
the Existing Credit Agreement and are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. As
used in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the terms “Agreement”, “this
Agreement”,
“herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereto”, “hereof”, and words of similar
import shall, unless the context
otherwise requires, mean from and after the replacement of the terms of the Existing Credit
Agreement by the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement.
(b) Subject to
Section 2(c), from and after the Restatement Effective Date and without the
need for further action, (i) the outstanding Tranche A Revolving Loans and Tranche B Revolving
Loans, if any, under the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding as Revolving Loans
under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and each outstanding Tranche A Revolving Credit
Borrowing and Tranche B Revolving Credit Borrowing, if any, that commenced on the same day and that
had the same Interest Period (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be treated as a
single Revolving Credit Borrowing under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with none of the
economic terms thereof changing as a result of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit
Agreement, and (ii) the Swingline Exposure, if any, and L/C Exposure, if any (in each case, as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall automatically be reallocated to the Lenders in
accordance with their new Pro Rata Percentage.
SECTION 4. Conditions
Precedent to Incremental Commitments. The effectiveness of the
Incremental Commitments shall be subject to (a) the satisfaction of each of the conditions
precedent specified in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and (b)
the payment by the Borrower of the upfront fees with respect to the Incremental Commitments as
separately agreed to with the Incremental Lender.
SECTION 5.
Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties
hereto to enter into
this Assumption and Amendment Agreement, the Borrower represents and warrants
to the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders that, as of the Restatement Effective Date:
(a) This
Assumption and Amendment Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by each Loan Party party hereto, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Loan

its terms.
2
(b) The representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on

relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct
in all material respects as of such earlier date).
(c) The Borrower and each Loan Party is in compliance with all the terms and provisions set
forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document on its part to
be observed or performed, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 6. Effectiveness. This Assumption and Amendment Agreement and the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement shall become effective as of March 11, 2011 (the “Restatement Effective
Date”) or the date that (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this
Assumption and Amendment Agreement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of (i) the
Borrower, (ii) each Subsidiary Guarantor, (iii) the Administrative Agent, (iv) the Lenders, (v)
the Issuing Bank and (vi) the Incremental Lender and (b) each of the conditions precedent referred
to in Section 3 hereof shall have been satisfied (or waived in writing by the Incremental Lender,
the Lenders and the Issuing Bank).
SECTION 7. Consent and Reaffirmation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby consents to this
Assumption and Amendment Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and each Loan Party
hereby (a) agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Assumption and Amendment
Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement, the Security Agreement and each of the other Security Documents
continue to be in full force and effect, (b) confirms its guarantee of the Bank Obligations (with
respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor) and its grant of a security interest in its assets as
Collateral therefor, all as provided in the Loan Documents as originally executed, and (c)
acknowledges that such guarantee and/or grant continue in full force and effect in respect of, and
to secure, the Bank Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including in respect of the Incremental Commitments and any Revolving Credit Exposure to
be incurred thereunder.
SECTION 8. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Assumption and Amendment
Agreement in accordance with the Existing Credit Agreement, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9. Counterparts. This Assumption and Amendment Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall
constitute but one and the same contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
