     4.1 Supplemental Health Benefits.

     (a) Supplemental Reimbursement Benefits. The benefits provided by this Section 4.1 of
the Plan supplement the benefits available to Participants under the Basic Group Health
Plan. Accordingly, subject to the provisions of Section 4.2, the Plan shall reimburse

2

 

amount shall be eligible for reimbursement as a Supplemental Reimbursement Benefit that
is eligible for reimbursement by insurance or any source other than the Participant’s
personal resources.

     (b) Premium Benefits. In addition to the foregoing, the Plan shall pay the entire
amount of the premium otherwise due to be paid by each Eligible Employee for the coverage
selected under the Basic Group Health Plan.

     (c) Taxation of Discriminatory Benefits. Certain supplemental health benefits provided
under the Plan that are not also available under the Basic Group Health Plan may constitute
discriminatory benefits within the meaning of Code Section 105(h). Such discriminatory
benefits include premium benefits and supplemental reimbursement benefits payable due to the
application of deductibles, co-payments and plan exclusions in the Basic Group Health Plan.
In accordance with Code Section 105(h), the amount of all discriminatory benefits payable
to, or on behalf of, a Participant will be treated by the Company as additional compensation
income to the Participant in the year that such discriminatory benefits are paid.

     4.2 Supplemental Reimbursement Benefits Defined. Supplemental Reimbursement Benefits shall be
paid with respect to the following amounts:

     (a) expenses for medical care (as defined in Section 213(d) of the Code), including
without limitation expenses for vision care (including eye glasses, contacts and laser or
similar eye correction procedures) and dental care (including orthodontia), for the
Participant and his or her dependents who are covered under the Basic Group Health Plan: and

     (b) other medical, vision and dental care expenses incurred by or on behalf of the
Participant for the Participant or any other person provided that the procedure or course of
treatment has been approved in advance and in writing by the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer.

     4.3 Executive Physical Examination Benefits. The Company shall pay the cost of one physical
examination for each Participant each Plan Year performed by a Designated Physician or by any other
license physician of the Participant’s choice. A “Designated Physician” is a physician or
physician group designated by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Executive
Officer may specify a maximum annual amount to be paid directly by this Plan for the physical
examination for any Participant and, in the absence of the establishment of any such specified
amount, the maximum annual amount that will be reimbursed by the Plan for a physical examination
shall be one thousand dollars ($1,000).

The physician performing the physical examination, whether or not a Designated Physician, shall
first file a claim for the costs of the physical examination with the Basic Group Health Plan. If
a Designated Physician performs the physical examination, any amount not reimbursed by the Basic
Group Health Plan shall be billed to the Company directly by the Designated Physician and the
Company shall pay the Designated Physician directly for such costs. If the Designated Physician

3

 

determines that the amount that will be billed directly to the Company (after payment by the Basic
Group Health Plan) will or may exceed this maximum amount, the Designated Physician shall notify
the affected Participant in advance of the estimated amount that will not be paid by the Company
and the affected Participant shall be responsible for payment of such amount directly to the
Designated Physician. If the physician performing the physical examination is not a Designated
Physician, any amount not reimbursed by the Basic Group Health Plan shall be paid to the Designated
Physician by the Participant and submitted by the Participant to the Company for reimbursement up
to the maximum annual amount.

Notwithstanding anything to the contained herein, the Designated Physician shall not release an
individual Participant’s examination results to the Company or any employee of the Company. It is
the intention of the Company that the physical examination benefits not be taxable to the
Participant, however, this result cannot be guaranteed. If such benefits are determined by the
Company to be taxable to the Participant, the Company may deduct applicable income and employment
taxes from other compensation paid to the Participant and otherwise treat such amounts as
additional compensation to the Participant.

ARTICLE V. ESTATE PLANNING AND INCOME TAX PREPARATION BENEFITS

     5.1 Estate Planning Benefits. The Company shall pay the cost of estate planning services
provided to a Participant by an attorney or a law firm designated by the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer (“Designated Estate Planner”). The Company’s Chief Executive Officer may designate one or
more Designated Estate Planners and may redesignate such Designated Estate Planners from time to
time in his sole discretion. The Designated Estate Planner shall bill the Company directly for
the cost of the estate planning services and the Company shall pay the Designated Estate Planner
directly for such costs. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer may specify a maximum annual amount
to be paid directly by this Plan for estate planning services for any Participant and shall notify
the Designated Estate Planner of such amount prior to the beginning of the Plan Year. In the
absence of a specified maximum annual amount, the costs of estate planning services shall not be
subject to an annual maximum. If the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has specified an annual
maximum amount and the Designated Estate Planner determines that the cost for the estate planning
services to be provided for that Plan Year will or may exceed this maximum amount, the Designated
Estate Planner shall notify the affected Participant in advance of the estimated amount that will
not be paid by the Company and the affected Participant shall be responsible for payment of such
amount. No amount shall be payable by the Company for estate planning services provided to a
Participant other than by a Designated Estate Planner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Designated Estate Planner shall not
release to the Company any specific information regarding an individual Participant’s estate plan
to the Company or any employee of the Company. It is the Company’s expectation that, in accordance
with IRS rules, estate planning benefits provided under the Plan will be taxable compensation to
the Participants. To the extent that such benefits are determined by the Company to be taxable to
the Participant, the Company may deduct applicable income and employment taxes from other
compensation paid to the Participant and otherwise treat such amounts as additional compensation to
the Participant.

4

 

     5.2 Income Tax Preparation Benefits. The Company shall pay the cost of income tax preparation
services provided to a Participant by a CPA, accounting firm, law firm or similar tax preparer
selected by the Participant up to a maximum amount of $1,000 per Plan Year (or such other amount as
may be specified by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from time to time in his sole
discretion). The Participant shall pay the service provider for the cost of the income tax
preparation work and submit the provider’s bill to the Company for reimbursement up to the maximum
amount.

It is the Company’s expectation that, in accordance with IRS rules, income tax preparation benefits
provided under the Plan will be taxable compensation to the Participants. To the extent that such
benefits are determined by the Company to be taxable to the Participant, the Company may deduct
applicable income and employment taxes from other compensation paid to the Participant and
otherwise treat such amounts as additional compensation to the Participant.

ARTICLE VI. SOURCE OF FUNDING

     6.1 Company. All benefits provided under the Plan shall be funded through a trust or through
the general assets of the Company.

     6.2 Eligible Employees. Contributions to the Plan by Eligible Employees shall neither be
required nor permitted.

persons to carry out any of its responsibilities under the Plan, and such allocations,
delegation or designation to be in writing.

     The decisions, interpretations, determinations and all other actions of the Administrator

an abuse of the Administrator’s discretion under the arbitrary and capricious standard of review.

his records under the Plan as pertain to him, for examination at reasonable times during normal
business hours.

the extent permitted by law to rely conclusively on all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions
and reports which are furnished by, or in accordance with the instructions of, accountants, counsel
or other experts employed or engaged by the Administrator.

     7.4 Nondiscriminatory Exercise of Authority. Whenever, in the administration of the Plan, any
discretionary action by the Administrator is required, the Administrator shall exercise its
authority in a nondiscriminatory manner so that all Participants similarly situated will receive
substantially the same treatment.

     7.5 Indemnification of Administrator. The Company agrees to indemnify and to defend to the
fullest extent permitted by law any employee of the Company serving as the Administrator or as a
member of a committee designated as Administrator (including any employee or former employee who
formerly served as Administrator or as a member of such committee or any other person who is an
employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or other affiliates who has been delegated any
duties or responsibilities hereunder) against all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses

occasioned by any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, if such act or omission was
in good faith.

ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

Executive Officer, may authorize and approve such amendments to the Plan as do not have a material
adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. Any amendment to the Plan shall be in
writing and shall be signed by a duly authorized executive officer of the Company.

initially filed with the Claims Administrator of the Basic Group Health Plan who shall first pay
benefits to which the Participant is entitled under the Basic Group Health Plan and, in the case of
benefits under Section 4.1(a), shall then forward the claim to the Administrator of this Plan for
payment of any amounts not reimbursed under the Basic Group Health Plan. All other claims for
benefits shall be filed with the Administrator. No claim for benefits shall be valid under the
Plan unless filed in writing with the Administrator within one (1) year after the date of the

     9.3 Appeal of Claim Denial. If a claim for benefits is denied or if the claimant has had no

appeal, the claimant or his duly authorized representative:

     (a) may request in writing that the Company review the denial;

     (c) may submit issues and comments in writing.

7

 

     The decision on review shall be made within 60 days of receipt of the request for review,
unless special circumstances require an extension of the time for processing, in which a decision
shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for
review. If such an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be
furnished to the claimant before the end of the original 60 day period. The decision on review
shall be made in writing, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant,
and shall include specific references to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based.
If the decision on review is not furnished within the time specified above, the claim shall be
deemed denied on review.

     9.4 Exhaustion Required. A Participant must pursue and exhaust all administrative remedies set
forth in this Article IX as a condition to pursuing any litigation against the Company, the
Administrator or the Plan for any benefits denied under the terms of the Plan. No action at law or

proof of a claim is required to be furnished.

from time to time for the purpose of administering the Plan.

nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any
legal or equitable right against the Company (or an Affiliate) or Administrator, except as provided
herein.

     10.3 Plan Not Contract. The Plan shall not be deemed to be a contract between the Company (or
an Affiliate) and any Eligible Employee or to be a consideration or an inducement for the
employment of any Eligible Employee. No Eligible Employee in the Plan shall acquire any right to
be retained in the Company’s (or an Affiliate’s) employ by virtue of the Plan, nor, upon his

Fourth Amendment to the

Affiliated Computer Services

Executive Benefit Plan

     This Fourth Amendment to the Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. Executive Benefit Plan
(the “Plan”) is adopted effective July 1, 2004, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan. This Fourth
Amendment shall be interpreted wherever possible to comply with the terms of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”),
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and all formal
regulations and rulings.

     WHEREAS, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (“Company”) has previously adopted the Plan;

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend certain provisions of the Plan; and

     WHEREAS, Section 8.1 of the Plan authorizes the Company to amend the Plan.

     NOW THEREFORE, the Company hereby amends the Plan as follows, to wit:

Section 5.1 is hereby amended to be and read as follows:

5.1 Estate Planning Benefits. The Company shall pay for each Participant each Plan Year the
cost of estate planning services provided by an attorney or a law firm designated by the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“Designated Estate Planner”). The Designated Estate
Planner shall bill the Company directly for the cost of the estate planning services and the
Company shall pay the Designated Estate Planner directly for such costs. The Company shall
pay a maximum amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) to be paid directly by this
Plan for a Participant’s initial estate planning services and the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer shall notify the Designated Estate Planner of such amount prior to the beginning of
the Plan Year. Such initial estate planning services shall be provided only once during the
Participant’s period of service with the Company. In the event the Participant terminates
employment with the Company and is subsequently re-hired by the Company, the Participant
shall not be eligible for additional initial estate planning services. The Company
shall pay a maximum annual amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) to be paid directly by
this Plan for subsequent annual estate planning services and the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer shall notify the Designated Estate Planner of such amount prior to the beginning of
the Plan Year. If the Designated Estate Planner determines that the cost to be billed
directly to the Company will or may exceed this maximum amount, the Designated Estate
Planner shall notify the affected Participant in advance of the estimated amount that will
not be paid by the Company and the affected Participant shall be responsible for payment of
such amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Designated
Estate Planner shall not release to the Company any specific information regarding an
individual Participant’s estate plan to the Company or any employee of the Company. It is
the Company’s expectation that, in accordance with IRS rules, estate-planning benefits
provided under the Plan will be

1

 

taxable compensation to the Participants. To the extent that such benefits are determined
by the Company to be taxable to the Participant, the Company may deduct applicable income
and employment taxes from other compensation paid to the Participant and otherwise treat
such amounts as additional compensation to the Participant.

The Second Amendment to the Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. Executive Benefit Plan, dated August
12, 2003, is hereby amended and shall be henceforth known as the Third Amendment to the Affiliated
Computer Services, Inc. Executive Benefit Plan.

This Fourth Amendment is to amend the Plan as specifically set forth herein and shall not modify,
change or substitute for any remainder of the Plan which shall remain in full force and effect and
be fully enforceable in accordance with its terms. All duties, obligations and responsibilities as
otherwise provided by the Plan except as specifically amended by this Fourth Amendment shall be and
remain in full and effect, and all provisions contained in the Plan are hereby in all things
confirmed and reaffirmed.

EXHIBIT “A”

AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), effective as of the date of the Notice of
Grant (as hereinafter defined) to which it is attached shall, along with the Plan (as hereafter
defined), govern the terms of the Notice of Grant by and between Affiliated Computer Services,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Optionee identified in the Notice of Grant
(“Optionee”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed
to such terms in the Plan.

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 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 effective as of the
date of grant designated in the Notice of Grant (the “Award Date”). The Shares of Common Stock
subject to the Option shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of
Grant (the “Vesting Schedule”) and shall be exercisable in accordance with the exercise schedule
set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Schedule”). If designated an Incentive Stock
Option, this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422
of the Code.

     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 — Page 1 of 4

 

 

          (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) 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.

          (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 of the exercise price. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised
upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the exercise price. 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.

Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.

Stock Option Agreement — Page 2 of 4

 

 

     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. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this
Agreement of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of the Option and disposition of the
Shares.

Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.

Stock Option Agreement — Page 3 of 4

 

 

     THIS 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.

          (i) Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Options. There may be a regular federal income tax
liability upon the exercise of the Option. The Optionee will be treated as having received
compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the fair
market value of the Shares on the date of the exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an
Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee’s compensation or collect from
Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this
compensation income at the time of exercise.

          (ii) Disposition of Shares. If Shares are held for at least one year, any gain
realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal tax
purposes.

OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, WITH RESPECT TO SHARES NOT VESTED AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE
OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE OPTION HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING
CONSULTANCY OR SERVICE AS A NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR, OR EMPLOYMENT AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT
THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED OR ELECTED AS A NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR
ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NOTHING IN THIS
AGREEMENT, NOR IN THE COMPANY’S 1997 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN, WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY
REFERENCE, SHALL CONFER UPON OPTIONEE ANY RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTINUATION OF OPTIONEE’S
EMPLOYMENT, DIRECTORSHIP OR CONSULTANCY BY THE COMPANY, NOR SHALL IT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH
OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S, AND/OR THE SHAREHOLDERS’, OF THE COMPANY, AND/OR THE DIRECTORS’
OF THE COMPANY RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTANCY AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT
CAUSE.

     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.
