Full-Time, Salaried CEO and Managing Director



Dear Harry:



On behalf of BearingPoint, Inc. (the Company), by this letter (the Employment Letter), I am pleased to offer you the position of Chief Executive
Officer and Managing Director of the Company in our headquarters office, effective March 21, 2005 (the Effective Date). Your annualized salary will be $750,000.00, paid semi-monthly, subject to standard withholdings and deductions.
You will also be eligible to participate in the Companys 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP) and be eligible for future compensation adjustments, but in no event will your annualized salary be decreased below $750,000. You
will report directly to the Board of Directors (the Board) of the Company and your performance will be reviewed by the Board at least annually. You will also serve as a member of the Board and, within a reasonable period of time after
the Effective Date, will serve as Chairman of the Board. You will have such duties and responsibilities as are commensurate with your position. You will have meaningful input with respect to the Companys general performance goals. Your
employment shall be at-will. Your employment may be terminated by the Company at any time and for any or no reason. Your employment may be terminated by you with three months prior notice, as provided in your Managing Director
Agreement.



Equity.Effective on the first business day after you sign
this Employment Letter (the Option Grant Date), you will be provided an initial grant of 2,000,000 options (the Options) to purchase shares of Company common stock under the Companys LTIP, a copy of which was previously
provided to you, or otherwise. The Options shall vest 25% each year commencing on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price of the Options will be equal to the last available closing price of the Companys common stock on
the first business day prior to the Option Grant Date. The attached Award Notice of Stock Option Grant and Stock Option Agreement detail the various terms of your initial grant, and require your signature of acceptance. If the grant of Options is
not done under the LTIP, the Company agrees that it will register the shares underlying the Options on a Form S-8.

Prior to the Effective Date, you will
receive a Restricted Stock Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto that details the various terms of your grant, and requires your signature of acceptance. If the grant of Restricted Stock is not done under the LTIP, the Company agrees
that it will register the shares underlying the Restricted Stock on a Form S-8.



All unvested Options and Restricted Stock will immediately vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, as such term is defined in the LTIP on the date hereof or a termination of employment due to death or
Disability (as such term is defined in the LTIP on the date hereof). On a termination of your employment by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, the portion of the Option and/or Restricted Stock award scheduled to vest on
the anniversary of the grant date following your termination shall vest on the date of your termination.



You are also eligible to receive additional annual grants of stock options, and/or other equity awards on at least the same basis as other senior executives of the Company. To the extent shares are not available under
the Companys equity plans to provide for the equity grants described herein, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to satisfy all conditions required to add the required shares to the applicable plans or to provide equivalent value to
you.



Annual Bonus.You will be eligible to receive an annual bonus with
a target amount equal to at least 100% of your base salary (the Target Bonus) upon achievement of reasonable pre-established performance goals. You will have meaningful input with respect to the formulation of the performance goals. Your
annual bonus may be paid in cash or any other form in which (and at such time as) annual bonuses are paid to other

senior executives of the Company. Any such payment shall be subject to standard withholdings and deductions.



Sign-On Bonus.Within 30 days following the Effective Date of your employment, you
will receive a cash lump sum sign-on bonus in the amount of $1,000,000 (the Sign-On Bonus), less standard withholdings and deductions; provided, that you shall repay the Sign-On Bonus within 10 business days following termination of your
employment by the Company for Cause or your voluntary termination without Good Reason prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date.

practices, programs policies and arrangements generally provided to senior executives of the Company at a level commensurate with your position.



Personal Days/Holidays.You will be entitled to 25 annual personal days, accrued monthly, to use for vacation, illness or other personal absences. These personal
days are in addition to eight Company-designated holidays. As a full-time employee, you will also be eligible to participate in our Personal Benefits Program.



Relocation.As of the Effective Date, you will provide services full-time at the Companys headquarters. The Company recognizes that it will require a
period of time for you to fully transition your family and your residence. As a result, for expenses incurred during the period of time commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after your relocation, the Company will pay all reasonable,
documented relocation and transitional housing and travel expenses, including a tax gross-up payment to cover all applicable taxes relating thereto, in connection with your relocation near the Companys headquarters, which shall occur no later
than January 31, 2006. The Company will also offer to purchase your current residence in Dallas based on a price determined by a mutually agreed upon appraisal firm. In addition, the Company will reimburse you for your real estate commissions
incurred in connection with the sale of your Atherton, California residence and the expenses of moving your personal property from California. If the Companys principal executive office is relocated from the Virginia / D.C. area, the Company
will provide you with all of the benefits and payments described in this section with respect to your relocation to any such area.



Business Expenses.The Company will reimburse you for the travel, entertainment and other business expenses incurred by you in the performance of your duties in
accordance with the Companys policies applicable to senior executives as in effect from time to time.



Severance.Upon termination of your employment, the Company will pay you: (i) any earned but unpaid base salary through the date of termination, the Sign-On Bonus if then

payable pursuant to the section titled Sign-On Bonus above, and any earned but unpaid annual bonus for any preceding year, provided, however,
that your employment terminates after the payment date for the annual bonus, (ii) any unpaid accrued personal days or unreimbursed business expenses, (iii) in the circumstances specified below in the section titled Termination
without Cause or for Good Reason, the payments specified in that section, and (iv) any other amounts due under any of the Companys benefit plans. Payment of the amounts specified in subsection (iii) above shall be conditioned
upon your execution of a full and binding unilateral Release of all claims arising from or associated with your employment with the Company, which will include a release of all known claims against you, a form of which is attached hereto (the
Release Agreement). You will have no obligation to mitigate any payments made under this section of this Employment Letter, and any such payments will not be subject to offset, except as to claims that the Company has against you.



Termination without Cause or for Good Reason. Upon your termination of
employment by the Company without Cause, or by you for Good Reason, the Company will pay you a lump sum cash amount equal to two times the sum of your (i) annual base salary and (ii) your then current Target Bonus (if established at such
time) or, if the Target Bonus is not yet established, then the prior years actual bonus. The lump sum cash payment shall be made within 30 days of the date of receipt by the Company of your fully executed Release Agreement as specified in the
Severance section above, but in no event will the Release Agreement be signed and payment made later than March 17 following the calendar year in which the termination occurs. The Company will also pay your premiums under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, on your behalf for 18 months after termination of your employment without Cause or for Good Reason.



Special Termination Agreement. Upon a Change of Control of the Company, you shall be entitled to receive the payments and other
benefits specified in your Special Termination Agreement, a copy of which is attached, and while eligible to receive such payments and other benefits you shall not be eligible to receive any payment or benefits under the above sections titled
Severance and Termination without Cause or for Good Reason.



Indemnification.The Company will indemnify you to the fullest extent permitted by (i) law with respect to your activities on behalf of the Company and (ii) for any failure by the Company to comply with Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), unless such failure is a result of your act or omission. It is the policy and practice of the Company to reasonably ensure that the Company and all new employees honor the terms
of any reasonable post-employment restrictions contained in agreements with prior employers of such new employees. By accepting this offer of employment, you affirmatively warrant and represent to the Company that: (1) the duties associated
with your prior executive positions over the past five years have not included

providing consulting services to the clients and prospective clients (as those terms are defined in the relevant contractual agreement(s) with such prior
employers) of any prior employer or meeting with, soliciting or marketing such clients or prospective clients for the purpose of your prior employer providing consulting services to them other than interacting with such clients or prospective
clients as a representative of the senior management team or providing such clients with information in connection with your duties as Chief Financial Officer and (2) you have previously disclosed in writing to the Company all documentation
associated with prior employers which may have the effect of restricting your post-employment activities on behalf of the Company. Although it is expected that your duties as Chief Executive Officer will not be restricted as a result of any
agreements with your prior employer, in good faith, within 30 days of the Effective Date of your employment with the Company, you shall review a list of Clients and Prospective Clients of the Company, as those terms are
defined in your Managing Director Agreement with the Company. You shall then identify to the General Counsel of the Company in writing, any and all such Clients and Prospective Clients which are, or may reasonably be deemed to be, entities from
which you should recuse yourself from dealing during some portion of your employment with the Company (which are expected to be none).



Furthermore, you will never be asked to share, utilize or disclose in any way the proprietary or confidential information of a prior employer as part of your duties on
behalf of the Company. You agree to promptly notify the General Counsel of the Company in the event you find yourself in a position of possibly violating your contractual agreement(s) with prior employers. If you undertake activity that is
challenged by a prior employer as being in violation of any such agreement, the Company will indemnify you for any claims that such previous employer may assert against you based on such agreement, including, without limitation, any claim that a
previous employer may assert to recover any amounts paid or equity granted to you and for any amounts you are required to forfeit or to pay to any previous employer. You will promptly notify the General Counsel in writing upon being made aware of
any such claim, arbitration or litigation, and you shall immediately tender the defense and choice of legal counsel to the Company, which shall have full authority to negotiate, settle or defend any such action in its sole discretion. The Company
agrees that it will consult with you prior to the selection of such legal counsel. The aggregate amount the Company shall pay to provide indemnity under this section to reimburse you for (i) amounts you are required to forfeit or to pay to any
previous employer, including as damages, and (ii) equity granted to you by a prior employer that you are required to forfeit or return shall not, in the aggregate with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), exceed $3,500,000, and such
reimbursement by the Company shall be paid by the Company in cash within 30 days after such forfeiture or reimbursement occurs as a result of a final, nonappealable court order, at the written direction of the Company, or as a result of the Company
deciding not to contest such forfeiture or reimbursement.

Company under this Employment Letter, provided, however, that this clause shall not apply if the transaction results in the successor becoming legally required to fulfill the obligations of the Company under this Employment Letter, whether by
operation of law or otherwise.

a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or
power at any other time or times. This Employment Letter may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
