(x) all liabilities or obligations to pay cure costs with respect to Assumed Contracts.

1.03 Purchase Price.

(a) As the total and complete consideration for the sale by Sellers to Buyer (or one or more of its designees) of the Acquired Assets, in addition to the assumption by Buyer (or one or more of its designees) of the Assumed Liabilities, at the Closing Buyer will deliver (or

cause its designees to deliver) an aggregate purchase price equal to Three Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($350,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”), payable in cash, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(b) Pre-Closing Statement. Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyer not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a certificate of Sellers, dated as of such delivery date and duly executed on behalf of each Seller by an authorized executive officer thereof (the “Closing Statement”), certifying as to Sellers’:

(i) reasonable good faith estimate of (x) Accounts Receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts (determined in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with the BearingPoint Financials), and (y) Deferred Revenue, each as of the close of business on the Closing Date and, if the Closing Date is after May 7, 2009, as of May 7, 2009; and

(ii) calculation of the difference of (x) the Accounts Receivable net of allowance for doubtful accounts (determined in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with the BearingPoint Financials) as set forth in the Closing Statement minus (y) the Deferred Revenue as set forth in the Closing Statement (the “Estimated Comparison Amount”) and, if the Closing Date is after May 7, 2009, as of May 7, 2009 (the “May 7 Estimated Target Amount”); provided that the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement, including the Estimated Comparison Amount and the May 7 Estimated Target Amount, shall be determined taking into account the terms relating thereto set forth in Sections 9.06(c), 9.06(f) and 9.06(i) hereto. The Closing Statement shall further set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination as well as Sellers’ calculation of the difference between the Estimated Comparison Amount and Target Comparison Amount, if any. The Closing Statement shall be subject to Buyer’s reasonable agreement in writing; provided that Buyer shall promptly deliver its reasonable agreement in writing unless Buyer’s reasonable good faith estimate of the Estimated Comparison Amount or the May 7 Estimated Target Amount differs from Sellers’ estimate, in which case Buyer shall promptly deliver Buyer’s estimates and a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Sellers shall provide to Buyer such additional back-up or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Comparison Amount and/or the May 7 Estimated Target Amount, as the case may be, as Buyer may reasonably request.

If the Closing Date is after May 7, 2009 and the Estimated Comparison Amount is greater than the Target Comparison Amount, then the amount paid to Sellers on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.03(c)(i) hereto shall be increased by the amount of such excess. If the Closing Date is on or before May 7, 2009 and the Estimated Comparison Amount is greater than the Target Comparison Amount or the Estimated Comparison Amount is equal to the Target Comparison Amount, the amount paid to Sellers on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.03(c)(i) hereto shall neither be increased nor decreased pursuant to this Section 1.03(b). Regardless of when the Closing Date is, if the Target Comparison Amount is greater than the Estimated Comparison Amount, then the amount paid to Sellers on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.03(c)(i) hereto shall be decreased by the amount of such excess.

(c) Closing Date Payment. On the Closing Date, the Deposit shall be delivered to the Sellers in accordance with Section 1.09 hereto and Buyer shall pay:

(i) to Sellers, an amount equal to $350 million ($350,000,000), adjusted as provided in Section 1.03(b) hereto, less the Deposit (subject to Section 1.09(b) hereto, if applicable) and the Escrow Amount (the “Closing Date Cash Payment”); and

(ii) to the Escrow Agent on behalf of Sellers, an amount equal to $25 million ($25,000,000) (the “Escrow Amount”). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Amount shall be held by Escrow Agent in a designated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) to be held for the sole purpose of securing the Seller Reconciliation Payment, if any, to be made pursuant to Section 1.05 hereto and shall be released from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 1.05 hereto and the Escrow Agreement.

1.04 Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets (and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities) provided for in this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ commencing at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the Business Day following the satisfaction or, if applicable, waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in Article 6 hereto, or at such other time and date as may be otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Closing Date”). Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Agreements, all matters at the Closing shall be considered to take place simultaneously and no delivery of any documents shall be deemed complete until all transactions and deliveries of documents are completed. The Closing shall be effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the Closing Date.

1.05 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Delivery of Post-Closing Statement. In no event later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) of Buyer’s determination of:

(i) the actual (x) Accounts Receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts (determined in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with the BearingPoint Financials), and (y) Deferred Revenue, each as of the close of business on the Closing Date and, if the Closing Date is after May 7, 2009, as of May 7, 2009; and

(ii) the calculation of the difference of (x) the Accounts Receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts (determined in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with the BearingPoint Financials), as set forth in the Post-Closing Statement minus (y) the Deferred Revenue as set forth in the Post-Closing Statement (the “Actual Comparison Amount”) and, if the Closing Date is after May 7, 2009, as of May 7, 2009 (the “May 7 Actual Target Amount”); provided that the amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Statement, including the Actual Comparison Amount and the May 7 Actual Target Amount, shall be determined taking into account the terms relating thereto set forth in Sections 9.06(c), 9.06(f) and 9.06(i) hereto. The Post-Closing Statement shall

further set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination as well as Buyer’s calculation of the Seller Reconciliation Payment (and any amounts to be released from the Escrow Account) or the Buyer Reconciliation Payment, as the case may be. Buyer shall provide to Sellers such additional back-up or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Actual Comparison Amount and/or the May 7 Actual Target Amount as Sellers may reasonably request.

(b) Acceptance Period; Delivery of Dispute Notice. Sellers may, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, provide Buyer with written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) of their disagreement with the calculation of the Actual Comparison Amount or the May 7 Actual Target Amount reflected on the Post-Closing Statement. If no such notice is delivered to Buyer by Sellers within such period, the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Actual Comparison Amount and the May 7 Actual Target Amount reflected thereon shall be deemed final and binding upon the parties hereto. A Dispute Notice shall set forth Sellers’ determination of the Actual Comparison Amount and/or the May 7 Actual Target Amount and, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination, and shall specify in reasonable detail the specific areas of Sellers’ disagreement with the Post-Closing Statement and the reasons therefor. Any items set forth on the Post-Closing Statement that Sellers do not specify in the Dispute Notice that they disagree with shall be deemed final and shall be binding upon the parties hereto. Buyer and Sellers shall endeavor in good faith to resolve any such disagreement within fifteen (15) days (the “Negotiating Period”) following the delivery by Sellers of such Dispute Notice. Any resolution (including any partial resolution) of such a disagreement shall be set forth in a writing executed by Buyer and Sellers, and any such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.

(c) Determination of Disputes by Neutral Firm. If Buyer and Sellers are unable to completely resolve any such disagreement within the Negotiating Period, the unresolved issues (and only such unresolved issues) (such unresolved issues collectively, the “Dispute”) shall be promptly submitted for resolution to a recognizable, reputable and impartial certified public accounting firm that is mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers (the “Neutral Firm”). If Buyer and Sellers cannot agree upon a Neutral Firm within ten (10) days, the New York City office of the American Arbitration Association shall choose a recognized, reputable and impartial certified public accounting firm (other than any Affiliate of Buyer, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, KPMG LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and Lattimore, Black, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ P.C. or their respective Affiliates) to act as the Neutral Firm. The Neutral Firm shall be instructed to resolve any outstanding Dispute. The parties shall instruct the Neutral Firm to render its determination within thirty (30) days of the referral of such Dispute thereto, and the determination of the Neutral Firm shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto for all purposes of this Agreement. Neither Buyer nor Sellers shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Neutral Firm without reasonable prior notice (which notice shall provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communications or meetings), to Buyer (in the case of Sellers) or Sellers (in the case of Buyer). The fees and expenses of the Neutral Firm shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount subject to Dispute which is not resolved in favor of Buyer and Sellers, as applicable, bears to the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved by the Neutral Firm. For illustration purposes only, (A) if the total amount of the Dispute is $100,000, and Sellers are awarded $50,000 by the Neutral Firm, Buyer and

Sellers shall bear the Neutral Firm’s fees and expenses equally; and (B) if the total amount of the Dispute is $100,000, and Sellers are awarded $25,000 by the Neutral Firm, Sellers shall bear seventy-five percent (75%) and Buyer shall bear twenty-five percent (25%) of the Neutral Firm’s fees and expenses.

(d) Post-Closing Reconciliation.

(i) If the Corrected Closing Date Cash Payment is greater than the Closing Date Cash Payment, the Reconciliation Payment shall be paid by Buyer to Sellers (“Buyer Reconciliation Payment”).

Each party shall promptly consult with the others with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to, and provide the other parties (or their counsel) copies of, all filings made by such party with any Governmental Authority or any other Person or any other information supplied by such party to a Governmental Authority or any other Person in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer and Sellers shall make all filings under the HSR Act as promptly as practicable following the entry of the Bidding Procedures Order.

(b) Each party hereto shall promptly inform the others of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and promptly provide the others with copies of all related correspondence or filings. If any party or Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Second Request”), then such party will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other parties hereto, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Each party hereto shall provide any necessary information and reasonable assistance as the others may request in connection with its preparation of any additional necessary filings or submissions to any Governmental Authority, including any additional filings necessary under the HSR Act.

(c) Each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement, including under the HSR Act. In connection therewith, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of the HSR Act, each of the parties hereto shall cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless Sellers and Buyer shall agree in writing that litigation is not in their respective best interests.

(d) If this Agreement and the sale of the Acquired Assets to Buyer on the terms and conditions hereof are determined to be the “highest and best offer” in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of the assumption by Sellers and the assignment to Buyer of the Assumed Contracts. Sellers shall pay all cure costs relating to the Assumed Contracts.

(e) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 9.04 hereto, in the event that any and all novations, transfer or other agreements, consents, approvals or waivers necessary for the assignment, transfer or novation of any Assumed Contracts, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing Date, then as of the Closing, this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Law, shall constitute full and equitable assignment by Sellers to Buyer of all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to, and all of Sellers’ obligations and liabilities under, such Assumed Contracts, and Buyer shall be deemed Sellers’ agent for the purpose of completing, fulfilling and discharging all of Sellers’ liabilities under any such Assumed Contracts. Each of the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to provide Buyer with the benefits of such Assumed Contracts, and to relieve Sellers of the performance and other obligations thereunder, including entry into subcontracts for the performance thereof; provided that, in connection with such reasonable efforts, no Seller shall be required to (i) incur, admit or consent to any liability or obligation or (ii) make more than a nominal out-of-pocket expenditure.

(g) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 9.04 hereto, if Sellers shall be unable to make the equitable assignment described in Section 9.01(e) hereto, or if such attempted assignment would give rise to any right of termination, or would otherwise adversely affect the rights of Sellers or Buyer under such Assumed Contracts, Sellers and Buyer shall continue to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to provide Buyer with all such rights; provided that, in connection with such reasonable efforts, no Seller shall be required to (i) incur, admit or consent to any liability or obligation or (ii) make more than a nominal out-of-pocket expenditure. To the extent that any such consents and waivers are not obtained, or until the

impediments to such assignment are resolved, Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) provide to Buyer, at the request of Buyer, the benefits of any such Assumed Contract to the extent related to the Business or the Acquired Assets, (ii) cooperate in any lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer and (iii) enforce, at the request of and for the account of Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, any rights of Sellers arising from any such Assumed Contracts against any third Person (including any Governmental Authority) including the right to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the advice of Buyer. To the extent that Buyer is provided the benefits of any Assumed Contract referred to herein (whether from Sellers or otherwise), Buyer shall perform at the reasonable direction of Sellers and for the benefit of any third Person (including any Governmental Authority) the obligations of Sellers thereunder or in connection therewith, and Buyer agrees to pay, perform and discharge all obligations and liabilities of Sellers relating to such performance or failure to perform, after the Closing Date.

(h) Without limiting any of the other rights of Buyer hereunder, between the date hereof and the Closing, Sellers shall reasonably assist and cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in arranging for Buyer and Sellers to meet with Clients to be identified based on consultation between Buyer and Sellers, including:

Sellers shall deliver to Buyer prior to filing, and as early in advance as is practicable to permit adequate and reasonable time for Buyer and its counsel to review and comment, a draft of the motion seeking approval of the form of Bidding Procedures Order, and such motion when filed by Sellers with the Bankruptcy Court shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer. If, after the filing of such motion, Sellers propose any changes to the form of Bidding Procedures Order, Sellers shall promptly

notify Buyer. If prior to, during or after the hearing on the motion seeking approval of the form of Bidding Procedures Order, the Bankruptcy Court makes any such changes or any other modifications to such form of Bidding Procedures Order, Sellers and Buyer shall be required to raise any objections thereto in writing prior to entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, so long as they are provided an adequate opportunity to do so. Unless Sellers or Buyer raise any such objections in writing prior to entry of the Bidding Procedures Order (provided that Sellers and Buyer are provided with an adequate opportunity to do so), such Bidding Procedures Order shall be deemed to be in form and substance satisfactory to each party for all purposes, including Sections 6.01(c)(i) and 7.01(d) hereto.

(b) The sale of the Acquired Assets to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement require the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to Sections 105, 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. If this Agreement and the sale of the Acquired Assets to Buyer on the terms and conditions hereof are determined to be the “highest and best offer” in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, Buyer and Sellers agree to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Bankruptcy Court to enter an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the sale of the Acquired Assets to, and assumption of Assumed Liabilities by, Buyer, which order shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Sellers and Buyer (the “Approval Order”). Sellers agree to provide to Buyer a draft of the Approval Order, and Buyer agrees to promptly advise Sellers in writing of any changes that it requires for such draft Approval Order to be in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer. Sellers and Buyer shall thereafter cooperate to reach agreement on a form of Approval Order that is satisfactory to each party (and any other parties in interest) and such agreed form of Approval Order shall be submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for its approval. If Sellers thereafter propose any changes to such form of Approval Order, Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer. If prior to, during or after the hearing on the motion seeking approval of such form of Approval Order, the Bankruptcy Court makes any such changes or any other modifications to such form of Approval Order, Sellers and Buyer shall be required to raise any objections thereto in writing prior to entry of the Approval Order, so long as they are provided an adequate opportunity to do so. Unless Sellers or Buyer raise any such objections in writing prior to entry of the Approval Order (provided that Sellers and Buyer are provided with an adequate opportunity to do so), such Approval Order shall be deemed to be in form and substance satisfactory to each party for all purposes, including Sections 6.01(c)(ii), 6.02(d) and 7.01(e) hereto.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Final Order” means an order or a judgment entered by the Bankruptcy Court (i) that has not been reversed, stayed, modified, amended or vacated and (ii) as to which the time for filing a notice of appeal, a petition for review or a motion for reargument or rehearing has expired.

(d) Sellers covenant and agree that if the Approval Order is entered, the terms of any plan submitted by Sellers to the Bankruptcy Court for confirmation shall not conflict with, supercede, abrogate, nullify, modify or restrict the terms of this Agreement and the rights of

Buyer hereunder, or in any way prevent or interfere with the consummation or performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including any transaction that is contemplated by or approved pursuant to the Approval Order.

(e) If the Approval Order or any other orders of the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement shall be appealed by any Person (as defined in Section 101(41) of the Bankruptcy Code) or petition for certiorari or motion for rehearing or reargument shall be filed with respect thereto, Sellers agree to take all action as may be reasonable and appropriate to defend against such appeal, petition or motion and Buyer agrees to cooperate in such efforts and each party hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts to obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal; provided that nothing herein shall preclude the parties hereto from consummating the transactions contemplated herein if the Approval Order shall have been entered and has not been stayed and Buyer, in its sole discretion, waives in writing the condition that the Approval Order be a Final Order.

9.04 Novation of Government Prime Contracts.

(a) Promptly following the date hereof, Sellers will, in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the FAR Part 42, Subpart 42.12, submit in writing to each responsible contracting officer with respect to each Government Contract a request, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, of the U.S. Government or Governmental Entity, as the case may be, and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers with respect to the submission of any such request, to (i) recognize Buyer as the successor in interest to all of the Government Prime Contracts and (ii) if required, enter into a novation agreement (a “Novation Agreement”) in substantially the form contemplated by such regulations and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, including providing those legal opinions required by FAR Part 42. Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, will each use reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose of processing, entering into and completing a Novation Agreement with regard to each respective Government Prime Contract, including responding to requests for information by the U.S. Government with regard to such Novation Agreement. Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, will each use reasonable best efforts to provide all information and take all other actions necessary to execute and consummate such Novation Agreements.

(b) If the U.S. Government declines to enter into a Novation Agreement in accordance with, and to the extent required by, FAR, Part 42, Subpart 42.12 recognizing the transfer of the Government Prime Contracts to Buyer, or until such time as the U.S. Government recognizes such transfer by entering into a Novation Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will constitute a transfer, assignment, attempted transfer or an attempted assignment thereof.

(c) Effective upon the Closing and until such time as the U.S. Government recognizes the transfer of Sellers’ rights and obligations under the Government Prime Contracts to Buyer, in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the FAR Part 42, Subpart 42.12, Sellers shall subcontract with Buyer, pursuant to a subcontract, for Buyer to perform for and in the place of Sellers, to the extent that such obligations are included in the Assumed Liabilities, any and all operations and provide any and all services and other performance obligations under the Government Prime Contracts as of the Closing Date, including any and all amendments,

options, modifications, purchase orders issued thereunder and such other terms and conditions as may have been duly incorporated in the Government Prime Contracts, which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Subcontract Agreement”).

Buyer and Sellers shall retain all such books and records for a period of at least six (6) years following the Closing Date. On or after the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding involving the Acquired Assets or the Business; provided that, in connection with such reasonable efforts, no Seller shall be required to (i) incur, admit or consent to any liability or obligation or (ii) make more than a nominal out-of-pocket expenditure.

Sellers following the Closing pursuant to Section 1.01(c)(vii) hereto.

(d) Promptly following the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of the Approval Order, upon Buyer’s request, Sellers shall cause all Persons, other than Buyer and its Affiliates and representatives, who (x) have had access to the electronic data room containing information regarding Sellers’ North American Public Service Unit, the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities or (y) have received confidential information with respect the Sellers’ North American Public Service Unit, the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement entered into in connection with the sale of the Business (other than the Confidentiality Agreement) (each, a “Business Confidentiality Agreement”), to (i) promptly destroy or return to Sellers all documentation regarding Sellers’ North American Public Service Unit, the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, including all Business Confidential Information, obtained through such access or otherwise or pursuant to the applicable Business Confidentiality Agreements, as the case may be, and (ii) destroy all written material, memoranda, notes, copies, excerpts and other writings or recordings whatsoever prepared by such Person or its representatives based upon, containing or otherwise reflecting any such information.

Further, Buyer may, prior to Closing Date, notify Sellers in writing that Buyer has determined, in its sole discretion, that if such Unlisted Client Service Contract or Unlisted Client Proposal were assumed by Buyer or its Affiliates performance by Buyer or its Affiliates thereof would be inconsistent with or in violation of Buyer’s Independence Obligations. Following receipt of such notice, if and as requested by Buyer, Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in resolving such potential inconsistencies or violations in a manner satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion.

(c) Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Sellers in writing of its decision to:

(i) include any Unlisted Client Service Contract on Schedule 1.01(a)(i)(A), as a “Designated Client Contract”;

(ii) include any Unlisted Client Proposal on Schedule 1.01(a)(ii), as a “Designated Client Proposal”;

In the event that Buyer does not choose to include an Additional Related Contract on Schedule 11(c) pursuant to this clause (iii), then such Additional Related Contract shall be retained by Sellers as an Excluded Asset;

provided that with respect to the determination of the amount of Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue for purposes of Sections 1.03(b) and 1.05 hereto, amounts arising pursuant to any Additional Existing Client Contract shall not be taken into account.

(d) Prior to the entry by a Seller into any New Teaming Agreement or New Subcontract, such Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of the same and of the proposed counterparty to such New Teaming Agreement or New Subcontract, as the case may be. Promptly following receipt of such notice, Buyer shall notify Sellers whether Buyer has determined, in its sole discretion, whether, if such New Teaming Agreement or New Subcontract, as the case may be, were assumed by Buyer or its Affiliates, performance by Buyer or its Affiliates thereof would be inconsistent with or in violation of Buyer’s Independence Obligations. In the event Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, that such New Teaming Agreement or New Subcontract, as the case may be, would subject Buyer or its Affiliates to such potential inconsistencies or violations and Buyer promptly so requests, Sellers shall not enter into such New Teaming Agreement or New Subcontract, as the case may be.

(e) In the event that Buyer determines prior to the Closing Date, in its sole discretion, that if any Related Contract or Additional Related Contract were assumed by Buyer or its Affiliates, performance by Buyer or its Affiliates thereof would be inconsistent with or in violation of Buyer’s Independence Obligations, if and as requested by Buyer, Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist in resolving such potential inconsistencies or violations in a manner satisfactory to Buyer, in its sole discretion, including rejecting such Related Contract or Additional Related Contract, as the case may be, effective as of, and contingent upon, the Closing.

(f) Prior to Closing Date, Buyer may notify Sellers in writing that Buyer has determined, in its sole discretion, that if any Designated Client Contract (a “Prohibited Client Contract”) or Prohibited Subcontract were assumed by Buyer or its Affiliates, performance by Buyer or its Affiliates thereof would be inconsistent with or in violation of Buyer’s Independence

Obligations. Following receipt of such notice, Sellers shall cooperate in good faith with Buyer and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist in attempting to resolve such potential inconsistencies or violations in a manner satisfactory to Buyer, in its sole discretion, including, in the case of a Prohibited Subcontract, rejecting such Prohibited Subcontract, effective as of, and contingent upon, the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Buyer may notify Sellers in writing that Buyer has determined, in its sole discretion, that Buyer will not take assignment at Closing of the Designated Client Contract related to such Prohibited Subcontract or such Prohibited Client Contract, as the case may be, and that such Designated Client Contract related to such Prohibited Subcontract or Prohibited Client Contract, as the case may be, shall be removed from Schedule 1.01(a)(i)(A) and shall be retained by Seller as an Excluded Asset, provided that with respect to the determination of the amount of Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue for purposes of Sections 1.03(b) and 1.05 hereto, amounts arising pursuant to any Direct Prohibited Client Contract treated as an Excluded Asset pursuant to this Section 9.06(f) shall be taken into account, notwithstanding its treatment otherwise as an Excluded Asset.

(g) Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to notify Sellers in writing of its decision to require the removal of any Designated Client Proposal, Other Business Contract or Related Contract from Schedule 1.01(a)(ii), Schedule 1.01(a)(i)(C) or Schedule 11(c), as the case may be. In the event that Buyer exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 9.06(g), then such Designated Client Proposal, Other Business Contract or Related Contract shall be retained by Sellers as an Excluded Asset.

(h) During the period between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in modifying the Designated Real Property Leases listed in Schedule 9.06(h) in a manner as may be requested by Buyer, in its sole discretion. In the event that Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, that any Designated Real Property Lease listed on Schedule 9.06(h) has not been modified in a manner satisfactory to Buyer, in its sole discretion, Buyer may, by providing notice to the Sellers prior to the Closing Date, require the removal of such Designated Real Property Lease from Schedule 1.01(a)(i)(D). In the event that Buyer exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 9.06(h), then such Designated Real Property Lease shall be retained by Sellers as an Excluded Asset. Sellers also agree to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, prior to the Closing Date, properly completed, executed landlord estoppel certificates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, from each of the landlords under each of the Designated Real Property Leases.

(i) Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to direct Sellers in writing to assign at the Closing any Client Service Contract and any Related Contract, Additional Related Contract or Other Business Contract relating to such Client Service Contract to Buyer’s designee (which may or may not be an Affiliate of Buyer), subject to the delivery to Sellers of designee’s adequate assurance of performance of such designee. In the event Buyer elects to direct Sellers to assign any Client Service Contract and any Related Contract, Additional Related Contract or Other Business Contract to Buyer’s designee at Closing, Buyer may elect for such assignment to include the assignment by Sellers to such designee of all accounts receivable and unbilled revenue arising from or relating to such Client Service Contract; provided that notwithstanding such assignment, such accounts receivable shall be included in the definition of “Accounts Receivable” for the purposes of Section 9.07 hereto and the representations and warranties of Sellers; provided further that with respect to the determination of the amount of

Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue for purposes of Sections 1.03(b) and 1.05 hereto amounts arising pursuant to (i) any Additional Existing Client Contract which is assigned to a designee shall not be taken into account and (ii) any Client Service Contract which is assigned to a designee and is either a Designated Client Contract (other than any Additional Existing Client Contract) or a New Client Service Contract shall be taken into account. Further, notwithstanding such assignment, the parties agree that for purposes of Section 6.01(a) hereto and the representations and warranties of Sellers contained herein, “Designated Client Contracts” shall be deemed to include the Unlisted Client Service Contracts being assigned pursuant to this Section 9.06(i) and “Related Contracts” shall be deemed to include the Additional Related Contracts being assigned pursuant to this Section 9.06(i).

(ii) updates to exclude from Schedule 1.01(a)(i)(A) any Client Service Contract that will have been completed prior to Closing, which Client Service Contracts shall be retained by Sellers as Excluded Assets;

(iii) updates to Schedule 11(c) to exclude any Related Contract treated as a Related Contract solely because such Related Contract is related to a Client Service Contract which is being excluded from Schedule 1.01(a)(i)(A) pursuant to this Section 9.06, which Related Contracts shall be retained by Sellers as Excluded Assets;

(iv) updates to Schedule 2.11(f) to add all surety bonds maintained by a Seller pursuant to the requirements of any Designated Client Contracts added pursuant to this Section 9.06; and

(c) Except to the extent provided otherwise in Section 6(a) of the Subcontract Agreement, as of the Closing Date, Buyer or its designee shall have the sole authority to ▇▇▇▇ and collect Accounts Receivable and accounts receivable relating to work performed by Buyer after the Closing and Sellers shall not instigate or threaten to instigate any claims or litigation in connection with such collection efforts.

Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer (or its designee) shall offer employment or admission as principal, as the case may be, to substantially all of the Business Employees in accordance with terms and conditions generally applicable to similarly situated personnel of Buyer, which offers shall be subject to Buyer’s satisfaction with the results of Buyer’s customary pre-employment or pre-admission procedures, as the case may be, (including Buyer’s customary screening and background checks), with such employment or admission, as the case may be, commencing on the first (1st) Business Day after the Closing Date. Such offers will be contingent upon a Business Employee’s agreement to restrictive covenants including non-solicitation, non-hire and confidentiality that are consistent with such covenants as are generally applicable to personnel of Buyer or its designees who are of a similar level of seniority. The parties will reasonably cooperate to coordinate the termination of employment with Sellers and the transfer of any Business Employees who accept an offer of employment or admission, as the case may be, and execute all documents required for employment or admission, as the case may be, with Buyer (or its designee) (the “Transferred Employees”). Each Seller agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide all relevant information necessary to assist Buyer in the transfer of the Transferred Employees, including all relevant payroll and withholding tax information with respect to the Transferred Employees; provided that Buyer shall not have access to personnel records of any Seller which in Seller’s good faith opinion cannot be disclosed to Buyer pursuant to applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit or affect any right of Buyer or its designees to terminate any Transferred Employee at any time or for any reason with or without cause. Effective upon Closing, each Seller hereby waives and releases each Transferred Employee from any and all contractual, common law or other restrictions enforceable by Sellers on the employment, activities or other conduct of such individual after such individual’s termination of employment with Sellers (other

than any obligation not to disclose confidential information of Sellers and their clients to Persons other than Buyer and its designees) to the extent necessary for such Transferred Employee to accept Buyer’s (or its designee’s) offer of employment or admission as a principal, as the case may be. Sellers and Buyer agree to cooperate in good faith to identify Additional Business Employees to whom Buyer may choose to extend offers of employment or admission as principal and facilitate such offers and, with respect to any such Additional Business Employees to whom Sellers agree such offers may be extended, Sellers agree to provide waivers of the non-solicitation provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement sufficient to permit Buyer to make such offers of employment or admission as principal, as the case may be and, effective upon employment or admission by Buyer, terminate the restrictions referenced in the prior sentence above with respect to each Additional Business Employee who receives an offer of employment or admission as a principal to the extent necessary for Buyer to make such offer; provided that nothing herein shall require Sellers to permit Buyer to extend an offer of employment to any Additional Business Employee who, in Sellers’ reasonable judgment, is reasonably necessary to the continued operation of the business of Sellers following the Closing; and provided further that in the event that before or after the Closing an Additional Business Employee’s responsibilities consist primarily of providing services in connection with the Business or, after the Closing, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Contracts, Sellers shall cooperate with and assist Buyer as it reasonably requests in securing the employment or admission of such employee so long as Buyer agrees to enter into a reasonable arrangement to assure Sellers access to the assistance of and services from such employee necessary for Sellers’ continuing operations.

(b) Retention Employees.

(i) Notwithstanding Section 9.08(a) hereto, and subject, with respect to each Bonus Plan, to such Bonus Plan having been assumed by Sellers on or before the Closing Date pursuant to the applicable Bonus Motion, Buyer agrees that all offers of employment or admission, as the case may be, to Retention Employees will contain an offer to pay to such Retention Employee his or her amounts previously awarded, but not yet due and payable to such Retention Employee under any applicable Bonus Plan(s) at such time and in such incremental amounts as provided for in such Bonus Plan(s); provided that the aggregate amount to be paid by Buyer and its designees in respect of (w) the Retention Bonus Agreements shall not exceed Seven Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,200,000), (x) the 2008 Short Term Plan shall not exceed Seven Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,700,000) and (y) the Navy ERP Plan shall not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), in each case subject to (A) such Retention Employee’s fulfillment of the requirements and contingencies set forth in Section 9.08(a) hereto applicable to employment and admission offers, as the case may be, made to all Business Employees generally, (B) such Retention Employee’s delivering to Buyer and Sellers an unconditional waiver and release of any and all obligations of Sellers to pay any amount to such Retention Employee pursuant to such Bonus Plans, which release shall be in form and substance agreed upon by Buyer and Sellers and (C) such Retention Employee being employed by Buyer or its designee or being a principal of Buyer or its designee, as the case may be, on each date in which a particular award payment is due as provided under the applicable Bonus Plan or is involuntarily terminated from employment without cause (as such term is defined by Buyer in its employment or admission arrangements) prior to the date such particular award is due.

(ii) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date hereof, Sellers shall, and BearingPoint shall cause its other affiliated debtors to, file with the Bankruptcy Court amendments to each of BearingPoint’ and its affiliated debtors’ motions to assume each Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Motions”) to provide that Retention Employees who are offered employment by Buyer or its designee and commence employment with Buyer or its designee following the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the preceding paragraph, shall be excluded from each Bonus Motion.

(c) Employment Liabilities. Sellers (as applicable) shall retain liability to the Transferred Employees for vacation, personal and sick days accrued but not taken as of the Closing Date. Sellers shall be fully responsible for any employment or labor liability incurred, accrued or otherwise arising from any event occurring prior to the Closing concerning employment and employee benefits, including severance payments, accrued payroll, pensions and other retirement plan obligations, COBRA rights, WARN Act liability, incentive compensation program obligations, deferred compensation program obligations, retiree health benefits and all liability with respect to Laws relating to wages, benefits, hours, collective bargaining, discrimination, civil rights, safety and health, workers’ compensation and the collection and payment of withholding and/or social security taxes and similar taxes and any other liability associated with the termination of such Transferred Employees by Sellers.

(d) Waiver of Restrictions on Conduct. With respect to each Transferred Employee, for such time as such Transferred Employee is employed by Buyer or its designees, (i) Sellers hereby waive and release such individual from any and all contractual, common law or other restrictions enforceable by Sellers on the employment, activities or other conduct of such individual after such individual’s termination of employment with Sellers (other than any obligation not to disclose confidential information of Sellers and their clients to Persons other than Buyer and its designees) and (ii) Sellers hereby waive and release, and shall cause their Affiliates to waive and release, any other employee or former employee of a Seller or its Affiliates who is employed by Buyer from any restriction on working with such Transferred Employee.

(e) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Section 9.08, expressed or implied, shall confer upon any current or former director, officer, employee, independent contractor, agent or other service provider of any Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Employees and other personnel of the Business) any rights or remedies (including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period) of any nature or kind whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.06 hereto, it is expressly agreed that the provisions of this Section 9.08 (i) are not intended to be for the benefit of, or otherwise be enforceable by, any third Person, including any Transferred Employee or other personnel of the Business and (ii) shall not be considered as an amendment to, or an undertaking to amend, any Seller Benefit Plan for any purpose.

9.09 Tax Matters and Apportioned Obligations.

(a) All real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Acquired Assets for a taxable period which includes (but

does not end on) the Closing Date (collectively, the “Apportioned Obligations”) shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the Pre Closing Tax Period (defined below) and the number of days of such taxable period after the Closing Date (any such portion of such taxable period, the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Pre Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Post Closing Tax Period. For purposes of this section, “Pre-Closing Tax Period” means (i) any Tax Period ending on or before the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to a Tax Period that commences before but ends after the Closing Date, the portion of such period up to and including the Closing Date.

(b) Apportioned Obligations and Transfer Expenses described in Section 1.06 hereto shall be timely paid, and all applicable filings, reports and returns shall be filed, as provided by applicable Law. The paying party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-paying party in accordance with Section 1.06 or Section 9.09(a) hereto, as the case may be. Upon payment of any such Apportioned Obligation or Tax, the paying party shall present a statement to the non-paying party setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the paying party is entitled under Section 1.06 or Section 9.09(a) hereto, as the case may be, together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed.
