WITNESSETH
     WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Affiliated Computer Services 1997
Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options
to certain selected Non-Employee Directors, Employees and consultants of the
Company or its subsidiaries with respect to shares of the Company’s Class A
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”);
     WHEREAS, the stock options provided for under the Plan are intended to
comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the United States Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and
     WHEREAS, the Company has selected Optionee to participate in the Plan and
desires to award to Optionee the stock option described in this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, as an inducement to Optionee to
continue as a director, employee or consultant of the Company or its
subsidiaries and to promote the success of the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries, the parties hereby agree as follows:
     1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Optionee, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions, limitations and restrictions set forth in this
Agreement, the Plan (which Plan is incorporated herein by reference), and the
Notice of Nonstatutory Stock Option Grant dated as of the date of this Agreement
(the “Notice of Grant”), an option (the “Option”) to acquire a total number of
shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at
the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant, such grant to be

accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant (the

schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Schedule”).
     2. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in
accordance with the Exercise Schedule and with the provisions of Section 9 of
the Plan as follows:
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
Stock Option Agreement (Switzerland)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (i) Right to Exercise.
               (a) The Option may not be exercised for a fraction of share.
               (b) In the event of the Optionee’s death, disability or other
termination of employment, the exercisability of the Option is governed by
Sections 9 and 10 of the Plan, subject to the limitation contained in
subsections (c), (d), and (d) of this Section 2(i).
               (c) In no event may the Option be exercised after the date of
expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant.
               (d) The Option may be exercised only with respect to the vested
portion thereof in accordance with the Notice of Grant.
               (e) Upon the Optionee’s termination of employment for any reason,
the Option may be exercised only (i) with respect to the portion of the Option
that was vested upon the Optionee’s termination of employment and (ii) for a
period of 90 days after the Optionee’s termination of employment.
          (ii) Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by written
notice, which notice shall state Optionee’s election to exercise the Option and
the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised. Such
written notice shall be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered in person or
by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be
accompanied by payment by the Optionee of the exercise price. If the Optionee is
subject to income tax at source, Optionee hereby agrees that Company (or its
broker) may sell Shares to satisfy its income tax withholding duties. Optionee
further agrees that Company (or its broker) may sell Shares to satisfy
Optionee’s social insurance contributions. The Option shall be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by
(i) the exercise price, (ii) an amount sufficient to satisfy the Company’s
income tax withholding duties, if any, or authorization for the Company (or its
broker) to sell Shares to satisfy such duties, and (iii) an amount sufficient to
satisfy Optionee’s social insurance contributions or authorization for the
Company (or its broker) to sell Shares to satisfy such contributions. No Shares
will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and
such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.
Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes, the Shares shall be
considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised
with respect to such Shares. If the Option is exercised in full, Optionee shall
surrender this Agreement.
     3. Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in cash
or, as determined by the Administrator, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Plan, including by check, promissory note or other Shares
which (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, either have
been owned by Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender or were
not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (y) have a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of
the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, or in any combination of
cash and Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such exercise
price. No Shares may be issued by the Company until Optionee makes full payment
to the Company of the applicable exercise price.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     4. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until such
time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the
issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of
consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable
federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including any rule under
Part 207 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations. As a condition to the
exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any
representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by any applicable
law or regulation.
     5. Termination of Employment. In the event of termination of Optionee’s
consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee with, or status as a
Non-Employee Director of, the Company, subject to Section 7 of this Agreement,
the Option may be exercised only as, and within the time periods, provided in
the Plan.
     6. Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee, the Option
may be exercised, according and subject to its terms, by the Optionee’s estate
or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent the Option was vested at the date of death.
To the extent the Option was not vested at the date of death, the unvested
portion of the Option shall automatically terminate.
     7. Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding Sections 5 and 6 of this
Agreement, if Optionee’s consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an
Employee or a Non-Employee Director is terminated by the Company for Cause,
Optionee shall forfeit the Option in its entirety, whether vested or unvested.
For purposes of this Section 7, an Optionee shall be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause if the Optionee fails to satisfactorily perform his or her
assigned duties or commits an act of gross negligence or willful misconduct,
including, but not limited to, a dereliction of duty or the committing of and
conviction for a crime involving breach of fiduciary duty to an employer, a
felony or a crime involving moral turpitude.
     8. Vesting of Option Upon Change of Control. If the Company undergoes a
Change of Control, the Option, whether or not vested at such time, shall become
fully and completely vested and exercisable, effective the day immediately prior
to such Change of Control. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “Change of
Control” shall have occurred if the Company is merged, consolidated, or
reorganized into or with another person, entity, or group of entities under
common control or if a majority of the outstanding capital stock or all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold to any other person,
entity, or group of entities under common control and as a result of such
merger, consolidation, reorganization, or sale of capital stock or assets, more
than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
of the surviving person or entity immediately after such transaction are held in
the aggregate by a person, entity or group of entities under common control who
beneficially owned less than 51% of the combined voting power of the Company
prior to such transaction.
     9. Non-Transferability of Option. The Option may not be transferred in any
manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may
be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms of
the Option and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors, and assigns of the Optionee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     10. Term of Option. The Option may be exercised only within the term set
out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement. The limitations set
out in Section 7 of the Plan regarding Options granted to more than ten percent
(10%) stockholders shall apply to the Option.
     11. U.S. Prospectus. The Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
prospectus relating to the offering of securities registered with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission of form S-8, which prospectus includes a
Swiss prospectus supplement and a brief summary as of the date of this Agreement
of some of the federal and cantonal tax consequences of exercise of the Option
and the disposition of the Shares.
SUCH TAX SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE
OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.
     12. Consent to Transfer Personal Data. By signing below, the Optionee
voluntarily acknowledge and consent to the collection, use, processing and
transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph. The Optionee is not
obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal
data. However, failure to provide the consent may affect the Optionee’s ability
to participate in the Plan. The Company, its subsidiaries and Optionee’s
employer hold certain personal information about you, including your name, home
address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other
employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of
stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other
entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or
outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the
Plan (“Data”). The Company and/or its subsidiaries will transfer Data amongst
themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and
management of your participation in the Plan, and the Company and/or any of its
subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the
Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These
recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere throughout
the world, such as the United States. You authorize them to receive, possess,
use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes
of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan,
including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the
administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on your
behalf to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any
Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan. You may, at any time, review Data, require
any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by
contacting the Company; however, withdrawing your consent may affect your
ability to participate in the Plan.
     13. Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights.
Optionee acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and
limited in duration, and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the
Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of stock options under
the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other
right to receive a grant of stock options or benefits in lieu of stock options
in the future.
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
Stock Option Agreement (Switzerland)
Page 4 of 5

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including,
but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of options, vesting
provisions, and the exercise price.
     14. Termination Indemnities. The Optionee’s participation in the Plan is
voluntary. The value of the Company stock option is an extraordinary item of
compensation outside the scope of the Optionee’s employment contract, if any. As
such, the stock option is not part of normal or expected compensation for
purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service
payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or
similar payments. Rather, the awarding of a stock option to you under the Plan
represents a mere investment opportunity.
     15. Receipt of Plan; Understanding of Terms. Optionee acknowledges receipt
of a copy of the Plan and certain information related thereto and represents
that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby
accepts this Agreement and the Option subject to all of the terms and provisions
thereof. Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Agreement in their entirety,
has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this
Agreement and fully understands all provisions relating to the Option. Optionee
hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or
interpretations of the Board upon any questions arising under the Plan.

outstanding from time to time; provided however, subject to adjustment under
Section 17 of the Plan, the number of Shares which may be optioned, sold,
granted, or otherwise issued under the Plan shall never be less than 3,675,000.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to adjustment under Section 17 of the
Plan, no more than 3,675,000 Shares will be available for the granting of
Incentive Stock Options under the Plan.
     If an Option should expire or become unexercisable for any reason without

     4. Administration of the Plan.
     (a) Procedure.
     (i) Administration with Respect to Directors and Officers. With respect to
grants of Options, Stock Purchase Rights and other rights and awards hereunder
to Employees who are also officers or directors of the Company, the Plan shall
be administered by (A) the Board if the Board may administer the Plan in
compliance with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor
thereto (“Rule 16b-3”) with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as
a discretionary plan, or (B) a Committee designated by the Board to administer
the Plan, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to permit the
Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify
thereunder as a discretionary plan. With respect to grants to Non-Employee
Directors under the Plan, the Plan shall be administered by the Board in
accordance with Rule 16b-3, provided that no Non-Employee Director shall vote on
any decision affecting his individual benefits under the Plan. Once appointed,
such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until
otherwise directed by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to
Performance Based Grants to any “covered employee” (as defined in Code
Section 162(m)), the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of the Board
comprised solely of two or more outside directors (as defined in Code
Section 162(m)(4)(C)). From time to time the Board may increase the size of the
Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or
without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies,
however caused, and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly
administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 with respect to a
plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan.
     (ii) Multiple Administrative Bodies. If permitted by Rule 16b-3, the Plan
may be administered by different bodies with respect to directors, non-director
officers and Employees who are neither directors nor officers.
     (iii) Administration with Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With
respect to grants of Options or Stock Purchase Rights to Employees or
Consultants who are neither directors nor officers of the Company, the Plan
shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the
Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the
legal requirements relating to the administration of incentive stock option
plans, if any, of Delaware corporate and securities laws and of the Code (the
“Applicable Laws”). Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in
its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time
the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members
thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in
substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of
the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent
permitted by the Applicable Laws.

     (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and
in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such
Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:
     (i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in accordance
with Section 2(m) of the Plan;
     (ii) to select the Consultants, Employees and Non-Employee Directors to
whom Options and Stock Purchase Rights may from time to time be granted
hereunder;
     (iii) to determine whether and to what extent Options, Stock Purchase
Rights and other rights, or any combination thereof, are granted hereunder;
     (iv) to determine the number of Shares of Common Stock to be covered by
each such award granted hereunder; provided, however, that no Optionee who is a
“covered employee” as defined in Code Section 162(m)(3) shall receive in any one
fiscal year of the Company grants of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights with
respect to more than the initial number of shares subject to the Plan, as set
forth in Section 3;
     (v) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;
     (vi) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms
of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, the
share price and any restriction or limitation, or any vesting acceleration or
waiver of forfeiture restrictions regarding any Option or other award and/or the
Shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as
the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion) which shall be set
forth in a written award document or agreement approved by the Administrator;
     (vii) to determine whether and under what circumstances an Option may be
settled in cash under subsection 9(f) instead of Common Stock;
     (viii) to determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances
Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an award under this Plan
shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the participant
(including providing for and determining the amount, if any, of any deemed
earnings on any deferred amount during any deferral period) in accordance with
Section 15(a) below;
     (ix) to reduce the exercise price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right
to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock covered by such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall have declined
since the date the Option was granted. Any such reduction in exercise price
shall be subject to the requirements of section 8(a) below as if a new option
were granted, and shall be treated as the granting of additional options for
purposes of the share limitation set forth in section 4(b)(iv) above; and
     (x) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock,
Deferred Stock, and Dividend Equivalents.

Director who has been granted an Option or other awards may, if he is otherwise
eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options or other awards.
     (b) Each Option shall be designated in the written option agreement as
either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar
year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
$100,000 (whether due to acceleration of exercisability, miscalculation or
error), such excess Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. In
the event that only a portion of the options granted at the same time can be
applied to the $100,000 limit, the Company shall issue separate share
certificate(s) for such number of shares as does not exceed the $100,000 limit,
and shall designate such shares as Incentive Stock Options stock in its share
transfer records.
     (c) For purposes of Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken
into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value
of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such
Shares is granted.
     (d) The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to
continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor
shall it interfere in any way with his right or the Company’s right to terminate
his employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.
     6. Term of Plan. Subject to any applicable law, the Plan shall continue in
effect until terminated pursuant to Section 19; provided, however, that no
grants of Incentive Stock Options shall be made under the Plan following the
expiration of ten years from the original effective date of the Plan.
     7. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the
Option Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option, the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant
thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. In the
case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the
Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent
(10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years
from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the
Option Agreement.

     8. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
     (a) The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to
exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Board, but
shall be subject to the following:
     (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
     (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive
Stock Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of grant.
     (B) granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
     (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option granted to any person, the
per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator.
     (b) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise
of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the
Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash,
(2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) if acquired upon
exercise of an Option have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months
on the date of surrender or, if not acquired upon exercise of an Option, were
not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (y) have a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of
the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (5) authorization from
the Company to retain from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which
the Option is exercised, (6) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice
together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the
Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price,
(7) delivery of an irrevocable subscription agreement for the Shares which
irrevocably obligates the Optionee to take and pay for the Shares not more than
twelve months after the date of delivery of the subscription agreement, (8) any
combination of the foregoing methods of payment, or (9) such other consideration
and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under
Applicable Laws. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to
accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may
be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.
9. Exercise of Option.
     (a) Procedure for Exercise: Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted
hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as
determined by the Administrator, including performance criteria with respect to
the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under the terms of
the Plan.
     An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
Exhibit “B”
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
1997 Stock Incentive Plan — Page 7 of 16

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan.
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock
certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to
be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 10 of the Plan.
     Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.
     (b) Termination of Employment. In the event of termination of an Optionee’s
consulting relationship, Continuous Status as an Employee or status as a
Non-Employee Director of the Company, such Optionee may, subject to Section 9(g)
below, exercise vested Options that are not Incentive Stock Options to the
extent and subject to the provisions set out in Optionee’s Notice of Grant and
Stock Option Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such Option
may be exercised only within sixty (60) days (or such other period of time as is
determined by the Administrator, with such determination being made at the time
of grant of the Option and not exceeding ninety (90) days) after the date of
such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), and only to the extent that
Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the
extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Incentive Stock Option at
the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to
the extent so entitled under the Option Agreement within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.
     (c) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b)
above, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, in the event of termination of
an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee as a result of his total and
permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), Optionee may,
but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (but in no
event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in
the Option Agreement), exercise an Incentive Stock Option to the extent
otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent
that Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Incentive Stock Option at the date
of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Incentive Stock Option to
the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Incentive Stock
Option shall terminate. However, the twelve (12) month limitation set out in
this paragraph shall not apply to limit the exercise period set out in the Stock
Option Agreement in the case of any Nonstatutory Stock Option.
     (d) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee, the Option
may be exercised, according to its terms, by the Optionee’s estate or by a
person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance,
but only to the extent the Option was vested at the date of death. To the extent
the Option was unvested at the date of death, such unvested portion of the
Option shall terminate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (e) Rule 16b-3. Options granted to persons subject to Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act must comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such additional
conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify for the
maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan
transactions.
     (f) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out
for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on such
terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the
Optionee at the time that such offer is made.
     (g) Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding subsections (b), (c) and (d) of
this Section 9, any Optionee whose consulting relationship, Continuous Status as
an Employee or status as a Non-Employee Director is terminated by the Company
for Cause shall forfeit all Options granted under this Plan, whether or not
vested. For purposes of this Plan, an Optionee shall be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause if the Optionee commits an act of gross negligence or
willful misconduct, including, but not limited to, a dereliction of duty or the
committing of and conviction for a crime involving breach of fiduciary duty to
an employer, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude.
     (h) Reload Options. In the event a person who is an employee of the Company
or a Subsidiary shall exercise an Option (the “Original Option”) by paying all
or a portion of the Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock subject to the
Original Option by tendering to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by such
person, an Option to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock used for such
purpose by the employee (the “Reload Option”) shall be granted to the employee
as of the exercise date; provided that a Reload Option has been granted to such
Optionee with respect to such Option, as evidenced in his written option
agreement. The Reload Option may be exercised at any time during the term of the
Original Option, under such terms and conditions, and subject to such
limitations, if any, as may be placed on such exercisability in the Agreement.
     10. Vesting of Options in Certain Events.
     (a) If the Company undergoes a Change of Control, then all of the
outstanding Options held by any Optionee, whether or not such Options are vested
at such time, shall become vested and exercisable, effective the day immediately
prior to such Change of Control. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a
“Change of Control” shall have occurred if the Company is merged, consolidated,
or reorganized into or with another person, entity, or group of entities under
common control or if a majority of the outstanding capital stock or all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold to any other person,
entity, or group of entities under common control and as a result of such
merger, consolidation, reorganization, or sale of capital stock or assets, more
than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
of the surviving person or entity immediately after such transaction are held in
the aggregate by a person, entity or group of entities under common control who
beneficially owned less than 51% of the combined voting power of the Company
prior to such transaction.
     (b) The Administrator shall, with respect to any participant under the Plan
who has a Severance Agreement with the Company, and in its discretion may, with
respect to any other participant under the Plan, include provisions similar to
(a) above in the terms of an award of Stock
Exhibit “B”
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
1997 Stock Incentive Plan — Page 9 of 16

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Purchase Rights, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, or
Dividend Equivalents hereunder.
     11. Non-transferability of Options. The Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by
Will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nonstatutory Options granted hereunder
shall, with respect to any Participant under the Plan who has a Severance
Agreement with the Company, and may in the discretion of the Administrator, with
respect to any other participant, be granted on terms that permit transfer
without consideration of such Nonstatutory Options by Optionee to:
     (i) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Optionee;
     (ii) a trust or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act custodial account for the
exclusive benefit of the child(ren) or grandchild(ren) of the Optionee; or
     (iii) a partnership or other entity in which the Optionee’s spouse,
children and/or grandchildren are the only partners,
and permit the pledge of such Nonstatutory Stock Options by an Optionee to the
Company or a third party, as security for indebtedness, provided that (A) the
stock option agreement pursuant to which such Nonstatutory Options are granted
must be approved by the Administrator, and must, except with respect to
agreements with any Participant under the Plan who has a Severance Agreement
with the Company, expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent
with this Section, and (B) subsequent transfers of transferred Options shall be
prohibited except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following
transfer, any such Options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and
conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for
purposes of each Agreement and Section 9 hereof the term “Optionee” shall be
deemed to refer to the transferee (however, the events of termination of
employment specified in Sections 9(b), (c) or (d) hereof shall continue to be
applied with respect to the original Optionee). Except as set forth above,
Options may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.
     12. Stock Purchase Rights.
     (a) Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either alone,
in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or
cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it
will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in
writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer,
including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase,
the price to be paid (which price shall be determined by the Administrator), and
the time within which such person must accept such offer, which shall in no
event exceed thirty (30) days from the date upon which the Administrator made
the determination to grant the Stock Purchase Right. The offer shall be accepted
by execution of a Restricted Stock purchase agreement in the form determined by
the Administrator. Shares purchased pursuant to the grant of a Stock Purchase
Right shall be referred to herein as “Restricted Stock”.
     (b) Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the
Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option
exercisable upon the
Exhibit “B”
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
1997 Stock Incentive Plan — Page 10 of 16

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the
Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for
Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall be
the original price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any
indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse
at such rate as the Committee may determine.
     (c) Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall contain
such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as
may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In addition, the
provisions of Restricted Stock purchase agreements need not be the same with
respect to each purchaser.
     (d) Rights as a Shareholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is exercised,
the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a shareholder when
his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is
exercised, except as provided in Section 16 of the Plan.
     13. Stock Appreciation Rights.
     The grant of Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions, and shall contain such additional terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, as the
Committee shall deem desirable:
     (a) Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award
entitling a Participant to receive an amount equal to (or if the Committee shall
determine at the time of grant, less than) the excess of the Fair Market Value
of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value of
a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right,
or, in the case of a grant other than a Performance Based Grant, such other
price as may be set by the Committee, multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been
exercised.
     (b) Grant. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted separately, or in
tandem with Options or other rights hereunder, whereby the exercise of one such
Award affects the right to exercise the other, subject to limitation under Code
Section 422 with respect to Incentive Stock Options.
     (c) Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant
in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, except that in no
event shall a Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable prior to the first
Anniversary Date of the date of grant. The Committee shall establish procedures
to provide that, with respect to any Participant subject to Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act who would receive cash in whole or in part upon exercise of the
Stock Appreciation Right, such exercise may only occur during an exercise period
beginning on the third business day following the Company’s public release of
quarterly or annual summary statements of sales and earnings and ending on the
last day of the month following the month in which such public release occurred
or during such other period as the Administrator may provide. To the extent it
is not inconsistent with the preceding sentence, the Committee, in its
discretion, may provide that a Stock Appreciation Right shall be automatically
exercised on one or more specified dates, or that a Stock Appreciation Right may
be exercised during only limited time periods.
Exhibit “B”
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (d) Form of Payment. Payment to the Participant upon exercise of a Stock
Appreciation Right may be made (i) in cash, by certified or cashier’s check or
by money order, (ii) in shares of Common Stock, (iii) in the form of a Deferred
Compensation Stock Option, or (iv) any combination of the above, as the
Committee shall determine. The Committee may elect to make this determination
either at the time the Stock Appreciation Right is granted, or with respect to
payments contemplated in clauses (i) and (ii) above, at the time of the
exercise.
     14. Restricted Stock.
     Restricted Stock Grants may be made to Employees, Non-Employee Directors
and Consultants under the Plan. Restricted Stock Grants shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions, and may contain such additional terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, as the
Committee shall deem desirable:
     (a) Restricted Stock Grants. A Restricted Stock Grant is an award of shares
of Common Stock transferred to a Participant subject to such terms and
conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate, including, without
limitation, the requirement that the Participant forfeit such units upon
termination of employment for specified reasons within a specified period of
time, and restrictions on the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of
the units as set forth in (c) below. Further, as a condition to the grant of
Restricted Stock to any Participant who, at the date of grant has not been
employed by the Company and has not performed services for the Company, the
Administrator shall require such Participant to pay at least an amount equal to
the par value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock
Grant within 30 days of the date of the grant, and failure to pay such amount
shall result in an automatic termination of the Restricted Stock Grant.
     (b) Grant of Awards. Restricted Stock Grants shall be granted under the
Plan in such form and on such terms and conditions as the Administrator may from
time to time approve. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall
determine the number of Restricted Stock Grants to be granted to a Participant
and the Administrator may impose different terms and conditions on any
particular Restricted Award made to any Participant. Each Participant receiving
a Restricted Stock Grant shall be issued a stock certificate in respect of the
shares of Common Stock. The certificate shall be registered in the name of the
Participant, shall be accompanied by a stock power duly executed by the
Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
conditions and restrictions applicable to the Award. The certificate evidencing
the shares shall be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions
imposed thereon shall have lapsed or been removed.
     (c) Restriction Period. Restricted Awards shall provide that in order for a
Participant to vest in the Awards, the Participant must continuously provide
services for the Company or its Subsidiaries, subject to relief for specified
reasons established by the Administrator in the terms of the grant, such as
disability or a Change of Control, for a period commencing on the date of the
Award and ending on such later date or dates as the Administrator may designate
at the time of the Award, provided that the Administrator determines that such
period is adequate to result in a substantial risk of forfeiture under Code
Section 83(a) (“Restriction Period”). During the Restriction Period, a
Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, or otherwise
dispose of shares of Common Stock received under a Restricted Stock Grant. The
Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of restrictions
in installments during the Restriction Period.
Exhibit “B”
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
1997 Stock Incentive Plan — Page 12 of 16

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Upon expiration of the applicable Restriction Period (or lapse of restrictions
during the Restriction Period where the restrictions lapse in installments), the
Participant shall be entitled to receive his or her Restricted Award or the
applicable portion thereof, as the case may be.
     (d) Rights as a Shareholder. Except as provided above, a Participant shall
have, with respect to the shares of Common Stock received under a Restricted
Stock Grant, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the
right to vote the shares, and the right to receive any cash dividends. Stock
dividends issued with respect to the shares covered by a Restricted Stock Grant
shall be treated as additional shares under the Restricted Stock Grant and shall
be subject to the same restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to
shares under the Restricted Stock Grant with respect to which the dividends are
issued.
     15. Other Equity Based Rights.
     (a) Deferred Stock. The Administrator is authorized to grant Deferred Stock
to Participants, subject to the following terms and conditions:
     (i) Award and Restrictions. Delivery of Shares will occur upon expiration
of the deferral period specified for Deferred Stock by the Administrator (or, if
permitted by the Administrator, as elected by the Participant). Prior to
delivery of the Deferred Stock, the Participant shall not have any of the rights
of a Shareholder and shall have the status of an unsecured creditor having the
Company’s mere contractual obligation to deliver Shares at a later date. In
addition, Deferred Stock shall be subject to such restrictions as the
Administrator may impose, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the
deferral period or at earlier specified times, separately or in combination, in
installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator shall determine.
     (ii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, upon
termination of employment (as determined under criteria established by the
Administrator) during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof (as
provided in the Award Agreement evidencing Deferred Stock), all Deferred Stock
that is at that time subject to deferral (other than a deferral at the election
of the Participant) shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the
Administrator may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or
may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions
relating to Deferred Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of
terminations resulting from specified causes.
     (iii) Deferred Stock awards shall be made only if the Administrator
determines that any applicable requirements of the Code (pertaining to deferral
of taxation), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
Rule 16b-3, and other pertinent statutes, rules and regulations have been
complied with, and such awards shall be subject to all additional terms,
conditions and restrictions necessary to comply therewith.
     (b) Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator is authorized to grant Dividend
Equivalents to Participants. The Administrator may provide that Dividend
Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have
been reinvested in additional Shares or Awards, or otherwise reinvested.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     16. Stock Withholding to Satisfy Withholding Tax Obligations. At the
discretion of the Administrator, Optionees may satisfy withholding obligations
as provided in this paragraph. When an Optionee incurs tax liability in
connection with an Option or Stock Purchase Right, which tax liability is
subject to tax withholding under applicable tax laws, and the Optionee is
obligated to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable
tax laws, the Optionee may satisfy the withholding tax obligation by electing to
have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the
Option, or the Shares to be issued in connection with the Stock Purchase Right,
if any, that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld
shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
determined (the “Tax Date”).
     All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall
be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Administrator and shall be
subject to the following restrictions:
     (a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;
     (b) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular
Shares of the Option or Right as to which the election is made;
     (c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the
Administrator;
     (d) if the Optionee is subject to Rule 16b-3, the election must comply with
the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 and shall be subject to such additional
conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify for the
maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan
transactions.
          In the event the election to have Shares withheld is made by an
Optionee and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no
election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Optionee shall receive
the full number of Shares with respect to which the Option or Stock Purchase
Right is exercised but such Optionee shall be unconditionally obligated to
tender back to the Company the proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.
     17. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger. Subject to any
required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of
Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of
Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan
upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of
Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common
Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt
of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected
without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the
Board shall notify the Optionee at least fifteen (15) days prior to such
proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option
will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. In
the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, the
Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such
successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation.
In the event that such successor corporation does not agree to assume the Option
or to substitute an equivalent option, the Board may, in lieu of such assumption
or substitution, provide for the Optionee to have the right to exercise the
Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option
would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Board makes an Option fully
exercisable in lieu of such assumption or substitution in the event of a merger,
the Board shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully exercisable
for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option
will terminate upon the expiration of such period.
     18. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall, for all
purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee, Consultant or Non-
Employee Director to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after
the date of such grant.
     19. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
     (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter,
suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or
discontinuation shall be made which would impair the material rights of any
Optionee under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent. In
addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply [with Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act or] with Sections 162(m) or 422 of the Code (or any other
applicable law or regulation, including the requirements of the NYSE or other
established stock exchange), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of
any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.
     (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or termination
of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such Options shall
remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or
terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Board,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
     20. Conditions upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued pursuant
to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance
and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant
provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the Exchange Act, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may
then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance.
     As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the
person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any
present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the

To the extent required under Code Section 162(m)(4)(C), Performance Based Grants
made hereunder with respect to any “covered employee” are subject to stockholder
approval of material provisions of the Plan.
     21. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will

sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. The inability of the Company
to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which

issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
     22. Agreements. Options, Stock Purchase Rights, Stock Appreciation Rights,
Deferred Stock, Restricted Stock and Dividend Equivalents shall be evidenced by
written agreements or award documents in such form as the Administrator shall
approve from time to time.
