Exhibit 10.1 ADMINISTRATIVE AGREEMENT This Administrative Agreement
(“Agreement”), dated April 13, 2012, is made between Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc.
(“Booz Allen”) and the United States Department of the Air Force (“Air Force”).
PREAMBLE 1. Booz Allen is a public corporation incorporated under the laws of
the State of Delaware with its principal office located in McLean, Virginia. 2.
On February 6, 2012, the Air Force proposed for debarment a San Antonio location
of Booz Allen with the address 700 N. St. Mary’s Street, Suite 700, San Antonio,
TX 78205 (D&B No. 07-736-3906) and several current and former Booz Allen
employees including: David Henderson (former employee), Steve Park, Paul Baca
(former employee), and Gary Triche. In a related matter, on September 30, 2011,
the Air Force proposed to debar former Booz Allen employee Joselito Meneses, a
retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel. 3. The Air Force’s proposed debarment
actions were based on the fact that Mr. Meneses, on his first day of employment
with the San Antonio office identified above, brought with him to work and
disclosed to Booz Allen non-public, procurement sensitive information concerning
an upcoming Air Force procurement that he obtained during his Air Force service.
Such information would afford Booz Allen a competitive advantage in competing
for the follow-on contract. Rather than immediately inform Mr. Meneses that his
disclosure was improper and notify Booz Allen’s Law Department of the matter,
Booz Allen personnel, including principals with supervisory authority, accepted
such information and used it in subsequent internal business capture
presentations regarding the Air Force procurement, and thereafter, appointed
Mr. Meneses to serve as one of three Capture Leads for the follow-on Air Force
contract. The Law Department finally learned of the matter approximately six
weeks later when a pricing analyst recognized the sensitive nature of the
information. However, upon learning of the matter, the Law Department narrowly
focused its internal investigation on Mr. Meneses’ disclosure and,
consequentially, overlooked other culpable parties, including principals, and
evidence of additional misconduct within the San Antonio office. As a result, at
that time, Booz Allen did not uncover indications and signals of broader
systemic ethical issues within the firm. Booz Allen recognized the seriousness
of the matter by ordering through the Law Department a document hold,
voluntarily deciding that it would be inappropriate to participate in the
follow-on competition, and, ultimately, terminating Mr. Meneses. However, Booz
Allen determined that it was unnecessary to disclose the matter to the
Department of Defense Inspector General, or to the Department of the Air Force,
Office of the General Counsel, Contractor Responsibility (SAF/GCR), the Air
Force debarring authority. Instead, Booz Allen disclosed the matter informally
and without adequate Booz Allen Law Department oversight or engagement through a
Booz Allen contracts director through a series of voice mails and e-mails to Air
Force contracting personnel involved with the follow-on procurement. These
events caused the Air • Force to have serious concerns regarding the
responsibility of Booz Allen, specifically, its San Antonio office, including
its business integrity and honesty, compliance with government contracting
requirements, and the adequacy of its ethics program. The Memorandum In Support
of the Proposed Debarments is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

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

 

LOGO [g3351402.jpg]

4. Following the proposed debarment actions, Booz Allen responded to the Air
Force’s concerns, indicated that it took such concerns seriously, that it
intended to fully investigate and report what it learned, and would do so
expeditiously. Over the course of the next two months, Booz Allen demonstrated,
through extensive actions, that it takes the Air Force’s concerns seriously and
is committed to demonstrating its present responsibility. Booz Allen represents
that it has, among other things: a. Investigated fully and exhaustively the
matter underlying the proposed debarments and provided full and complete
disclosure to the Air Force, including several written submissions, interview
summaries, and contemporaneous documentary evidence. Booz Allen also responded
to the Air Force’s questions and requests for additional information. b.
Discovered and disclosed to the Air Force other instances of improper conduct by
personnel, including additional improper actions to capture the follow-on Air
Force contract in question, as well as improper actions concerning other
government contract capture efforts at Booz Allen locations beyond San Antonio.
Among other conduct, Booz Allen personnel have improperly obtained, handled, and
used non-public information, including information that may be characterized as
source-selection information, bid or proposal information, and/or competitor
proprietary information. Additionally, Booz Allen personnel, in some instances,
were aware of their colleagues’ improper conduct and chose not to report such
improper conduct. Booz Allen represents that it has disclosed fully each of
these instances to the Air Force and will continue to do so, including updating
the Air Force with any new information discovered. c. Commissioned, on its own
initiative, a comprehensive and exhaustive independent evaluation of its ethics
program. To date, Affiliated Monitors, Inc. (Affiliated Monitors), has been
retained and provided the Air Force with its First Progress Report of the Ethics
Evaluation. The initial report suggests that while Booz Allen has a
comprehensive ethics program and that its senior leadership may embrace such
beliefs, Booz Allen’s ethics message may not be inculcated throughout the firm
and specifically, beyond its headquarters location. Affiliated Monitors will
submit status reports to the Air Force while it continues its review and
ultimately, will submit a Final Report, which will set forth its findings and
recommendations for specific actions to be taken by Booz Allen to improve its
ethics program and ultimately to transform what it has in place so that core
ethics values are inculcated within the totality of the firm and beyond the
headquarters. d. Commissioned, on its own initiative, Anton R. Valukas, Chairman
of the law firm of Jenner & Block LLP, to conduct an external review of these
matters, including, in collaboration with Wiley Rein LLP, an evaluation of the
firm’s investigation of this matter initially and the manner in which it
notified the Government of its findings. The review will also include an
assessment of the structure, training, and resources within the Booz Allen Law
Department as they relate to conducting internal investigations, both voluntary
and mandatory disclosures to the Government, and communications with the
Government. Mr. Valukas’ report containing his findings and recommendations for
improvements will be provided to the Air Force.

5. Booz Allen has not contested the facts underlying the proposed debarments and
has accepted full responsibility for those events, as well as the additional
incidents uncovered during its investigation. Booz Allen acknowledges that
although it had in place measures to educate its employees on ethical and
compliant conduct and the restrictions on obtaining, handling, and using
non-public information, those measures failed. Booz Allen further acknowledges
that these events have revealed significant issues concerning the methods by
which it captures business and human assets, including former government
personnel, and its handling, dissemination, and use of non-public information.
Overall, Booz Allen acknowledges that the proposed debarment and its resulting
investigation have revealed ethical deficiencies and questionable business
practices that may be systemic in nature. 6. Booz Allen is committed to fully
investigating these matters, identifying the deficiencies in its culture and
practices, and implementing measures that significantly mitigate against their
reoccurrence. Booz Allen is committed to being a responsible contractor. 7.
Based on the representations and submissions Booz Allen has made to date and the
extensive actions Booz Allen has undertaken and intends to take to address the
Air Force’s concerns, including those set forth below, the Air Force has
determined that entering into this Agreement serves the best interests of the
Government, and that, as a result of this Agreement, Booz Allen San Antonio
office’s continued ineligibility from new government contracting is no longer
necessary to protect the Government’s interests and, thus, its proposed
debarment will be terminated within one day following the execution of this
Agreement. ARTICLES 8. PERIOD. The period of this Agreement shall be three years
from the date of execution of this Agreement by the Air Force, or, if the Air
Force determines at any time during the three years that Booz Allen has ceased
to be in full compliance with the letter and spirit of this Agreement, for a
period of three years following reestablishment of full compliance as determined
by the Air Force. 9. EMPLOYEES. The word “employee(s)” in this Agreement
includes all Booz Allen officers, employees (permanent, temporary, contract
employees, full-time, and part-time employees), consultants involved in any
procurement-related activities, subsidiaries, and members of the Board of
Directors. 10. SELF-GOVERNANCE PROGRAMS. Booz Allen had implemented prior to
this matter certain self-governance programs to ensure that Booz Allen and each
of its employees maintains the business honesty and integrity required of a
Government contractor and that Booz Allen operates in strict compliance with all
applicable laws, regulations, and the terms of any contract. Booz Allen
recognizes that its self-governance programs failed. Accordingly, Booz Allen
agrees that it shall review its program to identify the cause for such failures,
as well as any other weaknesses, and enhance the components of these programs to
significantly mitigate against reoccurrence of such issues, and continue to
maintain the components of these programs for the term of this Agreement. Booz
Allen represents that its self-governance programs include the following
components: -3-

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

 

LOGO [g3351404.jpg]

a. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY. Booz Allen has established an Ethics and
Compliance Committee that is responsible for the implementation and oversight of
Booz Allen’s ethics and compliance program, including compliance with policies,
standards and procedures regarding the Procurement Integrity Act and competitive
intelligence gathering, including its acquisition of human assets from the
Government and competitors. The Ethics and Compliance Committee is comprised of
senior officers of Booz Allen and reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors, to which it has authority to report matters directly, and the Booz
Allen Leadership Team. The Associate General Counsel and Manager of Corporate
Ethics and Compliance serves as the primary attorney responsible for leading the
development and implementation of Booz Allen’s ethics and compliance program. b.
CONTROLS, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Booz Allen has existing policies and controls
related to the hiring of former government employees and reporting misconduct to

to checking the references and background of potential new employees. Booz Allen
will also require all employees, including newly-hired employees, to certify
affirmatively that they do not possess non-public or proprietary materials from
a past employer and further that they have not brought, nor intend to bring,
non-public or proprietary materials to Booz Allen from their former employment
or elsewhere. Booz Allen shall also require its cognizant hiring manager to
certify that he or she has reviewed the policy with the new hire. c. CODE OF
BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT. Booz Allen has implemented a Code of Business
Ethics and Conduct (“Code”). Booz Allen requires each new employee to certify

shall develop additional procedures for employees involved in business
development efforts that will include requiring the source of pricing
information used in the proposal to be documented in the capture and proposal
files and certified by the Capture Manager. d. EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAM.
Booz Allen has implemented mandatory training on the principles and standards of
the Code. Booz Allen also has established training on competing for work. Booz
Allen shall enhance its training for all employees regarding the handling and/or
use of non-public information, including source selection, bid or proposal
information, and proprietary information from prior employers. Booz Allen
further shall enhance its new employee and firm-wide training regarding the
importance and responsibility of all employees to report perceived misconduct
promptly to the correct contact point within Booz Allen. e. DISCIPLINE. Booz
Allen has established levels of discipline for violation of its policies and the
Code and follows standard procedures for determining whether to impose
discipline and the level of discipline to impose, if appropriate. Booz Allen

f. EXTERNAL REVIEW OF INVESTIGATIVE CAPABILITIES. Currently, Booz Allen’s Law
Department, along with its Human Resources Department and other elements of the
firm, conducts internal investigations related to compliance with the Code,
ethical lapses, and government contract requirements. This matter has revealed
deficiencies in this structure. Accordingly, Booz Allen has retained Anton R.
Valukas, Chairman of the law firm of Jenner & Block LLP, to conduct an external
review of these matters, including, in collaboration with Wiley Rein LLP, an
evaluation of the firm’s investigation of this matter initially and the manner
in which it notified the Government of its findings. The review also will
include an assessment of the structure, training, and resources within the Booz
Allen Law Department as they relate to conducting internal investigations and
communicating with the Government, including making mandatory and voluntary
disclosures. i. Booz Allen has submitted to the Air Force the description of
review that Jenner & Block proposed to undertake; ii. No later than June 30,
2012, Jenner & Block shall submit a report to Booz Allen and simultaneously to
the Air Force regarding its findings and recommendations with respect to
internal investigations conducted under the auspices of the Law Department; iii.
Within 30 days of receipt of the report, Booz Allen will report to the Air Force
the recommendations it agrees to implement and those that it does not believe
are appropriate to implement, including an explanation. 1f, after reasonable
discussions with Booz Allen, the Air Force disagrees with the reasoning
underlying Booz Allen’s rejection of a recommendation and determines that the
recommendation is appropriate and should be implemented, Booz Allen shall
implement the recommendation in question; iv. Booz Allen’s reports to the Air
Force pursuant to paragraph 10(h) will include information regarding Booz
Allen’s implementation of the recommendations; and v. Booz Allen has also
retained Wiley Rein LLP to assist it with developing a protocol for making
voluntary disclosures to the U.S. government. Booz Allen will provide this
protocol to Jenner & Block for its review and comment. After obtaining comments,
if any, from Jenner & Block, Booz Allen will provide the protocol, along with
such comments, to the Air Force for its review and comment, which, after an
opportunity for reasonable discussions with the Air Force, Booz Allen shall
incorporate into the protocol and adopt. g. EXTERNAL REVIEW OF ETHICS AND
COMPLIANCE PROGRAM. Booz Allen has retained Affiliated Monitors to conduct a
review of Booz Allen’s ethics and compliance program: -5-

Booz Allen’s rejection of a recommendation and determines, after reasonable
discussions with Booz Allen, that the recommendation is appropriate and should
be implemented, Booz Allen shall implement the recommendation in question; and
v. Booz Allen’s reports to the Air Force pursuant to paragraph 10(h) will
include information regarding Booz Allen’s implementation of the
recommendations. h. REPORTS. Commencing in June 2012, and quarterly thereafter,
Booz Allen will report to the Air Force regarding its implementation of the
remedial measures identified herein. The reports shall include information about
the status of all internal and Government investigations concerning
procurement-related matters and all allegations of business ethics or
integrity-related misconduct that are pending, resolved, or initiated subsequent
to Booz Allen’s previous report. 11. REPORTING MISCONDUCT. Booz Allen will copy
the Air Force on all mandatory disclosures to an agency Office of Inspector
General or Contracting Officer required by FAR 52.203-13, voluntary disclosures
to an agency Office of Inspector General or Contracting Officer, and any other
disclosures to a Government official concerning procurement-related matters or
business ethics or integrity-related misconduct. Any such disclosure shall
specifically reference that the Air Force is being copied on the disclosure
pursuant to Paragraph 11 of this Administrative Agreement. Additionally, Booz
Allen will report to the Air Force within 15 days of a determination by
management that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the suspected
misconduct of an employee may constitute a violation of U.S. criminal or civil
law or a material violation of Booz Allen’s ethics and compliance program
concerning procurement-related matters or business ethics or integrity-related
misconduct. Booz Allen shall investigate all allegations of such misconduct that
come to its attention, shall provide reports to the Air Force of the outcome of
such investigation, and shall identify any potential or actual impact on a U.S.
Government contract. Booz Allen shall cooperate with any requests by the Air
Force concerning the above-referenced disclosures or reports, including
providing additional information requested by the Air Force. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as requiring Booz Allen to provide attorney-client

waive the attorney-client or work product privileges in complying with the
reporting requirement. 12. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Booz Allen represents to the Air
Force that, to the best of its knowledge, it has previously disclosed to the Air
Force in a written submission dated April 13, 2012 any matters in which Booz
Allen is currently under criminal or civil investigation by any Governmental
entity. Booz Allen shall notify the Air Force within five working days of the
time when it learns of any of the following actions concerning

the investigative or legal activity upon the present responsibility of Booz
Allen for Government contracting. 13. MEETING. During the first year of this
Agreement, a senior officer of Booz Allen shall meet with the Air Force
quarterly to discuss the status of the implementation of this Agreement and its
self governance programs and, thereafter, semi-annually. 14. NOTIFICATION OF ALL

suppliers, subcontractors, or prime contractors with whom it contracts
emphasizing Booz Allen’s commitment to ethics and compliance and asking
suppliers/subcontractors to report to Booz Allen’s Manager of Ethics and
Compliance any unethical, improper, or illegal activity relating to Booz Allen.
Booz Allen shall provide the Air Force with copies of such correspondence within
30 days of the execution of this Agreement. 16. EMPLOYMENT OF SUSPENDED OR
DEBARRED INDIVIDUALS. Booz Allen will verify the status of all current employees
and all potential employees or consultants by reviewing the General Services
Administration-maintained (GSA) Excluded Parties List System (EPLS). Booz Allen
also shall require all employees to notify it of any change in their status. If
Booz Allen subsequently discovers that an employee or consultant has been
proposed for debarment or suspended, Booz Allen will not be required to
terminate the employee, but Booz Allen will remove such employee from
responsibility for or involvement with Booz Allen’s -7-

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

LOGO [g3351408.jpg]

Government contracts until the resolution of such suspension or proposed
debarment. In addition, if any employee of Booz Allen is charged with a criminal
offense relating to its business or otherwise relating to honesty and integrity,
Booz Allen will remove that employee immediately from responsibility for or
involvement with Booz Allen’s business affairs. If the employee is convicted or
debarred, Booz Allen will terminate the employee. Booz Allen shall notify the
Air Force of each such personnel action taken, and the reasons therefore, within
15 days of the action. 17. BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUSPENDED OR DEBARRED
ENTITIES. Booz Allen’s policy is to verify that a contemplated subcontractor is

shall not knowingly form a contract with, purchase from, or enter into a
business relationship with any individual, business entity or business entity
controlled by an individual that is listed by a Federal agency as debaned,

this commitment, Booz Allen shall undertake reasonable inquiry into the status
of any potential business partner, which shall include, at a minimum, review of
EPLS. 18. PREFERRED SUPPLIER PROGRAM. Booz Allen shall institute a Preferred
Supplier Program within 120 days of the effective date of this Agreement. The
Program shall be designed so as to reward, in some manner, entities that have
instituted compliance and values- based ethics programs. 19. PROPOSED CHANGES.
Booz Allen shall notify the Air Force of any proposed material changes to the
policies implemented in furtherance of the enhancements to Booz Allen’s ethics
and compliance program described in paragraph 10 and its compliance with this
Agreement. The Air Force retains the right to verify, approve, or disapprove
such changes. No such changes will be implemented during the period of this
Agreement without prior written approval of the Air Force. 20. ACCESS TO RECORDS

Agreement; (b) business conduct in its dealings with the U.S. government;
(c) compliance with Federal laws, regulations, and procurement policies with
respect to Booz Allen’s U.S. government contracts or subcontracts under U.S.
govermnent contracts; and (d) compliance with the requirements of U.S.

for purposes of this provision, the Air Force or its duly authorized
representative may interview any employee at the employee’s place of business

22. UNALLOWABLE COSTS. a. Booz Allen agrees that all costs related to legal and
other proceedings as defined in FAR 31.205-47 incurred by or on behalf of Booz
Allen in connection with this proceeding shall be expressly unallowable for U.S.
government contract accounting purposes. Unallowable costs include, but are not
limited to, costs arising from, related to, or in connection with (a) the
matters at issue here; (b) any investigation regarding the matters at issue
here; and (c) the Air Force’s review of Booz Allen’s present responsibility,
including the costs of Booz Allen’s submissions, presentations, reviews by
outside consultants and law firms, and appearances before the Office of the Air
Force Deputy General Counsel for Contractor Responsibility both in the past and
throughout the term of this Agreement. The costs of administering the terms of
this Agreement and any fines or penalties levied or to be levied in or arising
out of the matter at issue here are agreed to be expressly unallowable. Past,
present, and future costs of maintaining, operating and improving Booz Allen’s
self-governance/compliance/ethics programs are allowable costs for purposes of
this Agreement. b. Booz Allen agrees to treat as unallowable costs the full
salary and benefits of any officer, employee, or consultant terminated from Booz
Allen’s employ or removed from government contracting as a result of the
wrongdoing at issue here and the cost of any severance payments or early
retirement incentive payments paid to employees released from the company as a
result of the wrongdoing at issue here. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
the salary and benefits costs shall include all such costs from the first
instance of participation of each individual in the matters at issue here, as
determined by the Air Force. c. Booz Allen recognizes that in order to comply
with the terms of this paragraph, certain costs may need to be reclassified.
Booz Allen shall proceed immediately to identify and reclassify such costs and,
within 90 days of the effective date of this Agreement, Booz Allen shall adjust
any bid rate, billing rate, or unsettled final indirect cost rate pools to
eliminate any costs made unallowable by this Agreement, and shall advise the Air

will make credits/adjustments to appropriate Booz Allen FY 2013 rates, pools and
allowable costs in a manner that ensures the Government receives the full
benefit of the reclassification. The Air Force or a designated representative

compliance with this paragraph. Such audit rights shall be in addition to any
audit rights the Government may have under the terms of any contract with Booz
Allen. 23. ADVERSE ACTIONS. Booz Allen avers that adverse actions taken or to be
taken by Booz Allen against any employee or other individual associated with
Booz Allen arising out of or relating to the wrongdoing at issue here were
solely the result of Booz Allen’s initiatives and decisions and were not the
result of any action by, or on behalf of, agents or employees of the United
States. -9-

are discovered by the Government, which facts were not disclosed by Booz Allen.

conditions of this Agreement shall constitute an element of Booz Allen’s present

judicial proceedings, or request for any other relief in law or in equity, or in
any other forum be it judicial or administrative in nature arising out of or
relating to the facts described in the Preamble of this Agreement. 29. RELEASE.
Booz Allen hereby releases the United States, its instrumentalities, agents and
employees in their official and personal capacities, of any and all liability or
claims arising out of or related to the investigation, the notice of proposed

2 5. As Deputy chief; the Air Force entrusted Mr. Meneses with non-public
information, including information that could be categorized as source selection
information and/or bid or proposal information, 6, Upon retiring from the Air
Force, Mr. Meneses retained non-public information obtained during his Air Force
service. 7. From April 4, 2011, to April 8, 2011, Mv. Meneses attended
orientation training at BAR’s heaquarters in Mclean, VA, where he was trained on
several topics, including the company-wide ethics program. 8. On April 11, 2011,
Mr. Meneses attended orientation at BAR San Antonio, the branch where he was
hired to work and was introduced to Mr. Henderson, Mr. Park, Mr. Baca, and
Mr. Triche. 9. Mr. Henderson was Mr. Meneses’ career manager, supervisor, and a
Principal at BAR San Antonio. 10. Mr. Park was Mr. Meneses’ work manager and a
Principal at BAH San Antonio,. 11. Mr. Baca and Mr. Triche are Lead Associates
at BAlI San Antonio, Improper Conduct 12, On April 12, 2011, on his first day of
work at BAR San Antonio, Mr. Meneses brought with him an external harddrive,
which contained non-public information he obtained during his Air Force
employment. 13. At 9:28 a,m., just shortly after arriving to work, Mr. Meneses
sent Subj eels an e-mail entitled “MSIM: FA7O 1 4-06-D-00 17 — ITEM.pdf’ and
stated, “FYI Here’s the complete rnvard info on MSIM. . .” (Emphasis added). 14.

awarded by the Air Force to company K1 on August 25, 2006, to provide

non-public information, including Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) pricing data,
the labor mix to perform the ITM Services, and the associated labor rates by

3 17. At the time of the improper disclosure, BAR San Antonio was planning to
compete for the ITM Services follow-on contract and, thus, such non-public
information provided by Mr. Meneses would provide BAH San Antonio with an unfair
competitive advantage. 18. Upon receipt of Mr. Meneses’ correspondence, none of
the Subjects instructed or infotmed Mr. Meneses that his disclosure was
improper. 19. Mr. Henderson, approximately 11 minutes later, forwarded
Mr. Meneses’ e-mail to four other individuals, and responded, “Thanks for
sharing. I did a quick look., believe this tracks With the baseline pricing info
we have on NCI.” 20. Mr. Henderson also sent Mr. Meneses an e-mail entitled
“Latest MSIM Deck,” which attached slides entitled “AFMSA MSIM Capture Update”
containing “Incumbent’s As Is Pricing,” which purported to set forth the
incumbent’s labor categories, labor rates, FTE hours, and annual costs, 21.
Mr. Henderson ultimately assigned Mr. Meneses to be a member of BAH San Antonio
“Capture / Proposal Team” as a Capture Lead. 22. Subjects failed to report this
improper disclosure and continued to involve Mr. Meneses in BAH San Antonio’s
efforts to compete for the follow-on contract. 23. At some point between
April 12 and April 27, one of the employees working in the company’s pricing
department, who received Mr. Henderson’s e-mail forward, recognized the
sensitive nature of the document disclosed by Mr. Meneses and reported the
incident to the BAR headquarters’ law department. 24, On May 27, 2011,
approximately six weeks after Mr. Meneses’ improper disclosure, BAH’s law
department issued a document hold and retention order to the employees involved.
25. On June 28, 2011, Mr. Meneses’ was told that his employment was terminated,
effective July 12,2011. 26. BAH San Antonio decided not to participate in the
follow-on ITM Services Contract competition. 27. On September 30, 2011, the Air
Force proposed for debannent Mr. Meneses. 28. The conduct described above raises
serious concerns regarding Subjects’ business integrity, business honesty, and
compliance with government contracting requirements, and the adequacy of BAH San
Antonio’s ethics and compliance program, including the training provided to its
personnel.

4 BASES FOR THE PROPOSED DBBARMBNTS 1. The improper conduct of Subjects is of so
serious or compelling a nature that it affects their present responsibility to
be Government contractors or subcontractors and provides a separate independent
basis for their debarments pursuant to FAR 9.406-2(c). 2. Pursuant to FAR
9.406-5(a), the seriously improper conduct of Subjects is imputed to BAH San
Antonio because their improper conduct occurred in connection with the
peiforinance of their duties for or on behalf of BAR San Antonio, or with the
knowledge, approval, or acquiescence of BAH San Antonio. The imputation of
Subjects’ conduct to BAR San Antonio provides a separate independent basis for
the debarment of BAR San Antonio. 3. Pursuant to FAR 9.406-1(b), debarments may
be extended to the affiliates of a contractor. Mr. Henderson, Mr. Park, and BAR
San Antonio are affiliates, as defined at FAR 9.403 (Affiliates), because
dfrectly or indirectly, each one has the power to control the other or a third
party has the power to control each of them. The affiliation of Mr. Henderson,
Mr. Park, and BAR San Antonio provides a separate independent basis for the
debarment of BAH San Antonio. STEVEN A. SIIAW Deputy General Counsel (Contractor
