SPECIAL TERMINATION AGREEMENT

     THIS SPECIAL TERMINATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 12th day of
May, 2008, between BearingPoint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Eileen Kamerick
(the Executive”) (collectively referred to as the “parties”).

     WHEREAS, the Executive will develop an intimate knowledge of the business and affairs of the
Company, its policies, methods, personnel and plans for the future and has contacts of considerable
value to the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that the Executive’s
contribution to the success of the Company will be substantial and wishes to offer an inducement to
the Executive to enter into and remain in the employ of the Company;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and
agreements of the parties herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall continue until the earlier of:
(i) the expiration of the third anniversary of this Agreement (or if a Change in Control occurs
during the Term, the second anniversary of the occurrence of a Change in Control), (ii) the
Executive’s death, (iii) the Executive’s earlier voluntary termination (except for a termination as
a result of any of the events described in Section 3(a)(ii)) or a termination of Executive’s
employment by the Company for Cause or due to a Disability (as defined herein) or (iv) the date of
any other termination of the Executive’s employment prior to a Change in Control; provided,
however, that on each expiration date of this Agreement, the Agreement, Term and periods referenced
in Section 3 shall automatically be extended for an additional year unless, not later than 90
calendar days prior to such expiration date, the Company shall have given written notice to the
Executive that it does not wish to have the Term extended.

     2. Definitions.

          (a) Acquiring Person: An “Acquiring Person” shall mean any person (as defined in
Section 2(d)(iv)) that, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such person (as defined in

Person whether or not such person continues to be the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock.

          (b) Affiliate and Associate. “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective
meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, in effect on the date of this

          (ii) caused by intentional act or omission material damage to property of the Company;

          (iii) committed an intentional wrongful disclosure of material secret processes or
material confidential information of the Company; or

          (iv) been convicted of a felony criminal offense.

For the purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall
be deemed “intentional” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or with
no reasonable belief that the Executive’s act or omission was in the best interests of the Company.

          (d) Change in Control. A “Change in Control” of the Company shall have occurred if at

Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with another corporation or other
legal person or pursuant to which shares of the Company’s stock are converted into cash,
securities or other property, other than (A) a consolidation, merger or other reorganization
of the Company in which the holders of the Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to the
merger own more than 50.1 % of the common stock (or such other securities that may cast a
vote for the election of directors of the entity) of the surviving entity or its ultimate
parent immediately after the merger or (B) a consolidation, merger or reorganization of the
Company as a result of which no person (as defined in Section 2(d)(iv)) becomes an Acquiring
Person;

          (ii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, and as a
result of such transaction the holders of the Company’s Common Stock immediately prior
thereto own less than 50.1 % of the common stock (or such other securities that may

2

 

cast a vote for the election of directors of the entity) of such transferee or its ultimate
parent immediately after such transaction;

          (iii) any liquidation or dissolution of the Company or any approval by the stockholders
of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

          (iv) any person (including any “person” as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) or
Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) has become an Acquiring Person;

          (v) if at any time the Continuing Directors then serving on the Board cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or

          (vi) any occurrence that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6( e) of
Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, or any successor rule or regulation.

provided, however, that a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to have occurred as
the result of any transaction having one or more of the effects specified in clauses (i)-(vi) above
if such transaction is proposed by, and includes a significant equity participation (i.e., an
aggregate of at least 25% of the outstanding common equity securities of the Company immediately
after such transaction which are entitled to vote to elect any class of Directors) of, the
executive officers of the Company as constituted immediately prior to the occurrence of such
transaction or any Company employee stock ownership plan or pension plan.

          (f) Continuing Director. A “Continuing Director” shall mean a director serving on the
Board who (i) is not an Acquiring Person, an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, a
representative of an Acquiring Person or a person who was nominated for election by an Acquiring
Person, and (ii) was either a member of the Board on the date of this Agreement or subsequently
became a Director of the Company and whose initial election or initial nomination for election by
the Company’s stockholders was approved by at least two-thirds of the Continuing Directors then on
the Board but shall not include, in any event, any individual whose initial assumption of office

          (g) Exchange Act. “Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

          (h) Severance Compensation. The “Severance Compensation” shall be a lump sum amount
equal to: (i) one times the Executive’s annual salary plus (ii) one times the Executive’s then
current target Annual Performance Bonus (as defined in the Employment Letter) in effect as of the
date of a Change in Control.

          (i) Term. The “Term” shall have the meaning specified in Section 1.

3

 

          (j) Termination Date. The “Termination Date” shall be the date upon which the
Executive or the Company terminates the employment of the Executive.

     3. Rights of Executive Following a Change in Control.

          (a) The Company shall provide the Executive, within 10 business days following the applicable
Termination Date, Severance Compensation in lieu of compensation to the Executive for periods
subsequent to the Termination Date, but without affecting any other rights of the Executive at law
or in equity, if any of the following events occur:

          (i) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment within two years after a Change in
Control that occurs during the Term, other than for either of the following reasons:

          (A) the Executive becomes permanently disabled and is unable to work for a period
of 180 consecutive days (a “Disability”); or

          (B) for Cause;

          (ii) the Executive terminates employment during the Term, but after a Change in Control,
by providing written notice to the Company (which shall indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such termination) within sixty (60) days
after the Executive’s base salary is decreased by twenty (20) percent or more within two
years after a Change in Control that occurs during the Term.

          (b) Continued Benefits. If any of the events specified in Sections 3(a)(i) or (ii)
occurs and Executive is entitled to Severance Compensation, then until the earlier of the second
anniversary of the Termination Date or the date on which the Executive becomes employed by a new
employer, the Company shall, at its expense, provide the Executive with medical, dental, life
insurance, disability, accidental death and dismemberment benefits and other welfare benefits
(“Insurance Benefits”) at the highest level provided to the Executive immediately prior to the
Change in Control, provided, however, that if the Executive becomes employed by a new employer
which maintains Insurance Benefits that either (i) do not cover the Executive with respect to a
pre-existing condition which was covered under the Company’s Insurance Benefits, or (ii) do not
cover the Executive for a designated waiting period, the Executive’s coverage under the Company’s
Insurance Benefits shall continue, without limitation, until the earlier of the end of the
applicable period of non coverage under the new employer’s Insurance Benefits or the second
anniversary of the Termination Date.

          (c) Outplacement Counseling. If any of the events specified in Sections 3(a)(i) or
(ii) occur and the Executive is entitled to Severance Compensation, the Company shall reimburse all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive over the one year period following the Termination
Date for professional outplacement services by qualified consultants selected by the Executive, in
an amount not to exceed $50,000.

4

 

          (d) Payment of Earned But Unpaid Amounts. Within 10 business days after any of the
events specified in Sections 3(a)(i) or (ii) has occurred, the Company shall pay the Executive any
earned but unpaid portion of the Executive’s salary, bonus or incentive compensation or other
compensation.

          (e) Other Rights and Benefits. The payment of Severance Compensation by the Company
to the Executive shall not affect any other rights and benefits of the Executive provided by the
Company, prior to the Termination Date, which rights shall be governed by the terms of the
agreements governing such rights or benefits.

          (f) No Set-Off or Counterclaim. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the
Company shall have no right of set-off or counterclaim in respect of any claim, debt or obligation
against any payment or benefit to or for the benefit of the Executive provided for in this
Agreement.

          (g) Interest on Payments. Without limiting the rights of the Executive at law or in
equity, if the Company fails to make any payment required to be made hereunder on a timely basis,
the Company shall pay interest on the amount thereof on demand at an annualized rate of interest
equal to the Prime Rate as reported in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal (or in
the successor to such section or, if there is no such successor section, the most comparable Prime
Rate), compounded daily (but in no event shall such interest exceed the highest lawful rate).

          (h) Vesting of Stock Awards. If any of the events specified in Sections 3(a)(i) or
(ii) occur and the Executive is entitled to Severance Compensation hereunder then on the
Termination Date, all stock option grants, awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units,
and all other forms of stock awards previously granted to the Executive shall vest immediately (as
if the Executive’s employment were not terminated) and be nonforfeitable.

          (i) Code Section 409A. If the Company determines in good faith that any payment
hereunder would cause a violation of Code Section 409A if paid within the first six (6) months
after termination of Executive’s employment, such amount(s) shall not be paid during such six (6)
month period but shall instead be paid in a lump sum (without interest) immediately after the end
of such six (6) month period and such payment shall be considered to be made on a timely basis for
purposes of this Agreement. In the event that continuation of any benefit would in the good faith
judgment of the Company cause a violation of Code Section 409A if provided at Company cost during
the first six (6) months after the Termination Date, if Executive desires such benefit
continuation, the Executive shall pay to the Company the full cost therefor during such six (6)
month period and the Company shall reimburse the Executive for such cost (without interest) in a
lump sum payment immediately after or end of such six (6) month period.

     4. Gross-up.

          (a) If it is determined that any payment, benefit or distribution (or combination thereof) by
the Company, or by any trust established by the Company for the benefit of its employees or by a
person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Section
280G(b)(2) or any person affiliated with the Company or

5

 

such person, to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether payable pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”)) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section
4999 of the Code, or any successor provision, and any interest or penalties are incurred by the
Executive with respect to such excise tax (the excise tax, together with interest and penalties
thereon, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), the Executive shall be entitled
to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the
Executive of all taxes, including, without limitation, any income taxes and the Excise Tax imposed
upon the Gross-up Payment (and any interest or penalties), the Executive shall retain an amount of
the Gross-up Payment equal to the sum of (i) the amount of the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payment
or the Gross-up Payment and (ii) without duplication, an amount equal to the product of (1) any
deductions disallowed for federal, state or local income tax purposes because of the inclusion of
the Gross-up Payment in the Executive’s adjusted gross income, and (2) the highest applicable
marginal rate of federal, state or local income taxation, respectively, for the calendar year in
which the Gross-up Payment is made or is to be made. The intent of this Section 4 is that the
Executive, after paying required federal, state and local income taxes and payroll taxes, will be
in the same position as if the Executive was not subject to the Excise Tax and did not receive the
extra amounts pursuant to this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
4(a), if it shall be determined that the Executive would otherwise be entitled to a Gross-up
Payment, but that the Payments do not exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the greatest amount
(the “Reduced Amount”) that could be paid to the Executive such that the receipt of Payments would
not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-up Payment shall be made to the Executive and the
Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4(c), all determinations required to be made under
this Section 4, including whether and when a Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of such
Gross-up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be
made by such nationally recognized certified public accounting firm or law firm as may be
designated by the Executive (the “Firm”). All fees and expenses of the Firm shall be borne solely
by the Company. Any Gross-up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 4, shall be paid by
the Company to the Executive within five days after the receipt of the Firm’s determination. If
the Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall so indicate to the
Executive in writing. Any determination by the Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the
Executive.

          (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue
Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a Gross-up Payment. Such
notification shall be given no later than 10 business days after the Executive is informed in
writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of the claim and the date of
requested payment. The Executive shall not pay the claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day
period following the date on which it gives notice to the Company. If the Company notifies the
Executive in writing prior to the expiration of the period that it desires to contest such claim,
the Executive shall:

          (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to
such claim;

6

 

          (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall
reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting
legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the
Company;

          (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such
claim; and

          (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim.

Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(c), the Company shall control all
proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any
and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in
respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax
claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive
agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court
of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts as the Company shall direct, provided,
however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional
interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the
Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and
penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of the contest; and provided further, that if
the Company directs the Executive to pay any claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance
the amount of the payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold
the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including
interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to the advance or with respect to
any imputed income with respect to the advance.

          (d) If the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 4(c) and the Executive thereafter
is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Firm shall determine the amount of the
Gross-up Payment required, and such payment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the
benefit of the Executive.

          (e) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to
Section 4(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the
Executive shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest
paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive
of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 4(c), a determination is made that the
Executive is not entitled to any refund with respect to such claim, and the Company does not notify
the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund within 30 days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the
amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of the Gross-up Payment
required to be paid.

     5. No Mitigation Required. In the event that this Agreement or the employment of the
Executive is terminated, the Executive shall not be obligated to mitigate damages or the amount of
any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or

7

 

otherwise, and except for the termination of benefits pursuant to Section 3(b), the acceptance of
employment elsewhere after termination shall in no way reduce the amount of Severance Compensation
payable hereunder.

     6. Successors; Binding Agreement.

          (a) The Company will require any successor and any corporation or other legal person
(including any “person” as defined in Section 2(d)(iv) of this Agreement) which is in control of
such successor (as “control” is defined in Rule 405 or any successor rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company (by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), by agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform
it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to
the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement by the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such assumption shall not in any way affect or limit
the liability of the Company under the terms of this Agreement or release the Company from any
obligation hereunder. As used in this Section 6, “Company” shall mean the Company and any
successor to its business and/or all or substantially all of its assets which executes and delivers
the agreement provided for in this Section 6 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

          (b) This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

     7. Indemnification; Director’s and Officer’s Liability Insurance. The Executive
shall, after a Change of Control, retain all rights to indemnification under applicable law or
under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as they may be amended or restated from
time to time. In addition, the Company shall maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance
on behalf of the Executive, at the level in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, for
the five years following the Change in Control.

     8. Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
delivered personally or when mailed five (5) days after being mailed by United States registered
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

			
	     If to the Company:	 	BearingPoint, Inc.

or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance
herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

     9. Miscellaneous. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in a writing signed by the
Executive and the Company. No waiver by either party of, or compliance with, any condition or
provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar
or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No
agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, unless specifically referred
to herein with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement have been made by either party which
are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to its principles of conflicts of law; provided, however, that to the extent this
Agreement makes reference to any other agreements, the choice of law provision set forth in each
such agreement shall continue to govern the terms and conditions of such agreement as well as the
interpretation and construction thereof and the references thereto that are set forth herein.

     10. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of
this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

     11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

     12. Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any express or implied
right or duty on the part of the Company or the Executive to have the Executive remain in the
employment of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) prior to or after any Change in
Control.

     13. Withholding of Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under
this Agreement all federal, state, local or other taxes as shall be required by law.

     14. Disputes. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on an arbitrator’s award relating to this
Agreement in any court having jurisdiction. The exclusive venue for such arbitration shall, at the
sole option of the Executive, be in McLean, Virginia or the county where the Executive then
resides.

     15. Legal Fees and Expenses. It is the intent of the Company that the Executive not
be required to incur the expenses associated with the enforcement of the Executive’s rights under
this Agreement by litigation or other legal action because the cost and expense thereof would
substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Executive in this Agreement.
Accordingly, if it should appear to the Executive in good faith that the Company has

9

 

failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Agreement or in the event that the
Company or any other person takes any action to declare the Agreement void or unenforceable, or
institutes any litigation designed to deny, or to recover from, the Executive the benefits intended
to be provided to the Executive hereunder, the Company irrevocably authorizes the Executive from
time to time to retain counsel of the Executive’s choice, at the expense of the Company as
hereafter provided, to represent the Executive in connection with the initiation or defense of any
litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any director, officer,
stockholder or any other person, in any jurisdiction. The Company shall pay, within 10 business
days of a written request by the Executive, and be solely responsible for, any and all reasonable
attorneys’ and related reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of any
actual or threatened litigation or other legal action relating to this Agreement or any provision
thereof or as a result of the Company or any person raising any issue with respect to this
Agreement or any provision thereof, including without limitation, contesting the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any provision thereof. The Executive shall have an obligation
to return to the Company any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 15 and shall not be entitled to
any payments under this Section 15 if the claim or claims made by the Executive are deemed to be
frivolous by any court or arbitrator.

     16. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to
the Executive is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy under this Agreement, or otherwise, shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     17. Code Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of
Code Section 409A and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.
The Company reserves the right to amend the provisions of this Agreement at any time in order to
avoid the imposition of the additional tax under Code Section 409A or any payments or benefits to
be made hereunder.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective on the day and year
first above written.

Unit Grant (the “RSU Award Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”)
relates, an award consisting of restricted stock units, subject to the terms and conditions set

and is familiar with the RSU Award Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, (b) accepts the award
subject to all of the terms and conditions of the RSU Award Notice, this Agreement and the Plan and
(c) agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the
Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company regarding any
questions arising under the RSU Award Notice, this Agreement or the Plan. Unless otherwise defined
herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the RSU Award Notice or
the Plan.

     1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

          a. On the Grant Date, the Award Recipient shall acquire, subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, the number of restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) set forth in the RSU
Award Notice, subject to (i) the availability of Authorized Shares under Section 1.5(a) of the Plan

(ii) cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock.

          b. The Award Recipient is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax
withholding, if any, and payment of the par value of the Common Stock, if required by law) as a
condition to receiving cash or shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Restricted
Stock Units, the consideration for which shall be future services to be rendered to the Company or
for its benefit.

     2. Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. Except as provided in Sections 4 and 7 of this
Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and nonforfeitable on the date or vesting
schedule set forth in the RSU Award Notice, provided, however, to the extent not already vested,
the Restricted Stock Units shall become 100% vested and nonforfeitable (i) on the death or
Disability of the Award Recipient while employed by the Company or (ii) on the Retirement of the
Award Recipient.

     3. Termination of Employment.

          a. If the Award Recipient’s employment terminates for any reason or no reason, with or without
“Cause,” other than on account of death, Disability or Retirement, the Award Recipient shall
forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Restricted Stock Units which are not, as
of the time of such termination, vested, and the Award Recipient shall not be entitled to any
payment or other consideration therefore.

          b. “Cause” shall mean the occurrence, the failure to prevent the occurrence, or failure to
cure after the occurrence (when a cure is permitted), as the case may be, of any of the following
circumstances after the Award Recipient’s receipt of written notification from the General Counsel
which includes a detailed description of the claimed circumstance: (i) the Award Recipient’s
embezzlement, misappropriation of corporate funds, or the Award Recipient’s material acts of
dishonesty; (ii) the Award Recipient’s commission or conviction of any felony or of any misdemeanor
involving moral turpitude, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendre to any felony or
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (iii) the Award Recipient’s engagement, without a reasonable
belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the Company, in any activity that could
harm the business or reputation of the Company in a material manner; (iv) the Award Recipient’s
willful failure to adhere to the Company’s material corporate codes, policies or procedures that
have been communicated to him or her; or (v) the Award Recipient’s violation of any statutory or
common law duty or obligation to the Company, including, without limitation, the duty of loyalty,
provided, however, that in the case of clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), the Company
shall provide the Award Recipient with the opportunity to cure any Cause event during the 15-day
period after his or her receipt of written notice describing the Cause event, and provided,
further, that a Cause event shall be considered to be cured only if all adverse
consequences of the Cause event have been fully remedied.

          c. “Retirement” shall mean retirement under the Company’s Rule of 70 Retirement Policy, or, if
required by law, under local law. An Award Recipient currently is eligible to retire under the
Company’s Rule of 70 Retirement Policy, if the Award Recipient’s age plus “years of service” (as
determined under the Company’s 401(k) Plan or any successor to such plan) equals or exceeds 70 as
of the date of retirement.

     4. Termination of Restricted Stock Units and Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units Gain.

          a. If the Award Recipient:

               i. breaches any covenant concerning confidentiality or intellectual property or concerning
noncompetition or nonsolicitation of clients, prospective clients or personnel of the Company and
its Affiliates to which the Award Recipient is or may become a party in the future;

               ii. fails (A) to complete on a timely basis all current and future training relating to the
Company’s policies and procedures, including financial reporting and timekeeping training, (B) to
consistently follow all Company policies and procedures, and, if applicable, to

2

 

confirm that the employees the Award Recipient supervises are following such Company policies
and procedures or (C) to meet such cash collection goals, if any, as are established for the Award
Recipient by the Company from time to time; or

               iii. is terminated for “Cause;”

then, in addition to and without in any way limiting any remedies under any of the covenants
described above in this Section 4(a) or otherwise:

                    (A) any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited automatically on the date the Award
Recipient commits such breach as is specified in clause (i), fails to act as specified in clause
(ii) or is terminated for “Cause;” and

                    (B) in the event of a breach described in Section 4(a)(i), the Award Recipient shall pay the
Company, within five business days of receipt by the Award Recipient of a written demand therefor,
an amount in cash equal to the aggregate of (i) cash received in settlement of Restricted Stock
Units and (ii) the amount determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issued in
settlement of Restricted Stock Units prior to the date the Award Recipient breaches such covenant
(without reduction for any shares of Common Stock delivered by the Award Recipient or withheld by
the Company pursuant to Section 6(c)) by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the
date the shares of Common Stock were issued to the Award Recipient; and

                    (C) in the event of a breach described in Section 4(a)(ii) or if the Award Recipient is
terminated for Cause other than for a breach referenced in Section 4(a)(i), the Award Recipient
shall pay the Company, within five business days of receipt by the Award Recipient of a written
demand therefor, an amount in cash equal to 50% of the aggregate of (i) cash received in
settlement of Restricted Stock Units and (ii) the amount determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of Restricted Stock Units prior to the date of the
breach described in Section 4(a)(ii) or the date the Award Recipient is terminated for Cause other
than for a breach referenced in Section 4(a)(i) (without reduction for any shares of Common Stock
delivered by the Award Recipient or withheld by the Company pursuant to Section 6(c)) by the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the shares of Common Stock were issued to the
Award Recipient; and

                    (D) the Award Recipient shall pay any damages in excess of the amounts paid to the Company
under clauses (B) or (C) above.

          b. The Award Recipient agrees that by executing the RSU Award Notice, the Award Recipient
authorizes the Company and its Affiliates to deduct any amount or amounts owed by the Award
Recipient pursuant to Section 4(a) from any amounts payable by the Company or any Affiliate to the
Award Recipient, including, without limitation, any amount payable to the Award Recipient as
salary, wages, vacation pay or bonus. This right of setoff shall not be an exclusive remedy, and
the Company’s or an Affiliate’s election not to exercise this right of setoff with respect to any
amount payable to the Award Recipient shall not constitute

3

 

a waiver of this right of setoff with respect to any other amount payable to the Award
Recipient or any other remedy.

     5. Settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

          a. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock or Cash. Subject to the provisions of Sections 1(a),
5(b), 5(c) and 5(d), the Company shall issue to the Award Recipient, on the Settlement Date with
respect to each Restricted Stock Unit to be settled on such date, (i) the number of shares of
Common Stock that is equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units, after any adjustments
under Section 7.7 of the Plan, on the Settlement Date specified in the RSU Award Notice, (ii) cash
or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, provided that each
Restricted Stock Unit shall be settled in the form specified in clause (i), unless the Committee,
in its sole discretion, specifies prior to the Settlement Date that the issuance shall be in the
form specified in clause (ii) or clause (iii), and provided further than any Restricted Stock Unit
that vests as a result of the death, Disability or Retirement of the Award Recipient shall be
settled in full on the next Settlement Date specified in the RSU Award Notice that occurs after the
death, Disability or Retirement of the Award Recipient; provided, however, that if the Award
Recipient is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended), then any Restricted Stock Units that vest as a result of the Retirement
of the Award Recipient shall be settled in full on (A) the next Settlement Date that is at least
six months after the date of Retirement of the Award Recipient or (B) if there is no other
Settlement Date after Retirement, six months after the date of Retirement of the Award Recipient.
If the Committee elects to pay the Award Recipient in cash, the payment shall equal the Fair Market
Value of the number of shares of Common Stock on the Settlement Date that is equal to the number of
vested Restricted Stock Units, after any adjustments under Section 7.7 of the Plan, on the
Settlement Date specified in the RSU Award Notice. Shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of
Restricted Stock Units shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such
restriction as may be required pursuant to Sections 5(b), 5(c) or 5(d).

          b. If the Award Recipient’s employment terminates for any reason or no reason, with or without
“Cause,” other than on account of death, Disability or Retirement, then the Award Recipient shall
not sell, assign, alienate, pledge, attach or otherwise transfer or encumber any shares of Common
Stock previously issued to the Award Recipient pursuant to Section 5(a) until the Restriction End
Date (see defined below).

          c. Restrictions on Grant of the Restricted Stock Units and Issuance of Shares. The grant of
the Restricted Stock Units and issuance of shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Restricted
Stock Units shall be subject to and in compliance with all applicable requirements of federal,
state or foreign law with respect to such securities. No shares of Common Stock may be issued
hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal,
state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock
exchange or market system upon which the Common Stock may then be listed. The inability of the
Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the
Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the
Restricted Stock Units shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to
issue such shares as to which such requisite authority

4

 

shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units,
the Company may require the Award Recipient to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or
appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any
representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

          d. Restrictions on Sale of Shares. Until the fifth anniversary of the applicable grant date
of the Restricted Stock Units to a Award Recipient (the “Restriction End Date”), the Award
Recipient shall not transfer any shares of Common Stock received upon the settlement of Restricted
Stock Units pursuant to Section 5(a) except (i) in sales, redemptions or other transactions,
underwritten public offerings or share repurchases, in each case as approved in writing by the
Company either specifically or by general policy, or (ii) to estate and/or tax planning vehicles,
family members and charitable organizations that become bound hereby by express agreement, in each
case as approved in writing by the Company (which approval may be subject to such other conditions,
including the requirement that any transferee become bound by any other agreement, as the Company
may, in its sole discretion, require). The Award Recipient agrees that, in the Company’s sole
discretion, and until the Restriction End Date, all of his or her shares of Common Stock shall
either (i) bear legends that reflect the restrictions imposed by this Section 5 or (ii) be held in
custody by a custodian designated by the Company.

          e. Registration of Shares. Shares issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be
registered in the name of the Award Recipient, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the
Award Recipient. Such shares may be issued either in certificated or book entry form. In either
event, the certificate or book entry account shall bear such restrictive legends or restrictions as
the Company, in its sole discretion, shall require.

          f. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon
settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

          g. Dividend Equivalents. As of each dividend payment date for each cash dividend on the
Common Stock, the Award Recipient shall receive additional restricted stock units, which shall be
subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the RSU
Award Notice and this Agreement. The number of additional restricted stock units to be granted
shall equal: (i) the product of (x) the per-share cash dividend payable with respect to each share
of Common Stock on that date, multiplied by (y) the total number of Restricted Stock Units which
have not been settled or forfeited as of the record date for such dividend, divided by (ii) the
Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the payment date of such dividend.

     6. Withholding Taxes.

          a. In General. Unless Section 6(b) or Section 6(c) applies, the Award Recipient shall pay to
the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any federal, state,
local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock in settlement of any Restricted Stock Units, no later than the date required by law
(the “Tax Date”). The Company shall have no obligation to deliver

5

 

shares of Common Stock until the tax withholding obligations of the Company have been
satisfied by the Award Recipient.

          b. Payment in Cash. The Company shall withhold from any payment under Section 5(a) the amount
of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the
settlement of the Restricted Stock Units in cash.

          c. Payment in Shares. The Award Recipient may satisfy all or any portion of the Company’s tax
withholding obligations by requesting the Company, in its sole discretion, to withhold a number of
whole shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Award Recipient in settlement of the
Restricted Stock Units having a Fair Market Value, as of the Tax Date, not in excess of the amount
of such tax withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding
rates. Any adverse consequences to the Award Recipient resulting from the procedure permitted
under this Section 6(c), including, without limitation, tax consequences, shall be the sole
responsibility of the Award Recipient.

     7. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the Restricted
Stock Units shall become 100% vested and nonforfeitable effective as of the date of the Change in
Control, provided that the Award Recipient’s employment has not terminated prior to such date. The
Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in accordance with Section 5(a) on the date of the Change
in Control, and all restrictions on the sale of Company Common Stock under Section 5 shall
terminate on the date of the Change of Control.

     8. Rights as a Stockholder. The Award Recipient shall have no rights as a stockholder with
respect to any shares which may be issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units until either
(i) a certificate is issued for such shares or (ii) an appropriate entry is made in the account of
the Award Recipient evidencing that such shares are owned by the Award Recipient. No adjustment
shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to
the date such certificate is issued or an appropriate entry is made in the account of the Award
Recipient evidencing that such shares are owned by the Award Recipient, except as provided in
Section 7.7 of the Plan and Section 5(e) of this Agreement.

     9. No Employment Rights. The Award Recipient acknowledges that the Award Recipient’s
employment is “at will” and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon
the Award Recipient any right to continue in the employment of the Company or interfere in any way
with any right of the Company to terminate the Award Recipient’s employment at any time.

     10. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing any restrictions,
including, without limitation, applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions, on
all certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Award
Recipient shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all
certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement in the possession of the Award
Recipient in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.

6

 

     11. Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Units. Neither this Agreement nor any of the
Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement shall be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors
of the Award Recipient or the Award Recipient’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the Agreement shall be exercisable during
the Award Recipient’s lifetime only by the Award Recipient or the Award Recipient’s guardian or
legal representative.

     12. Amendment. The Committee may amend this Agreement at any time, provided,
however, that no such amendment may adversely affect the Award Recipient’s rights under
this Agreement without the consent of the Award Recipient, except to the extent such amendment is
reasonably determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to be necessary to comply with
applicable law or to prevent a detrimental accounting impact. No amendment or addition to this
Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.

     13. Waivers; Exceptions. Any provision or requirement of this Agreement may be waived and any
exception to the terms of this Agreement may be granted, in each case, generally or specifically,
in whole or in part, and subject to any conditions, by the Committee or the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company.

     14. Administration of this Agreement. All questions of interpretation concerning the RSU
Award Notice and this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee. All determinations by the
Committee shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the award.

     15. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns
of the Company and, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, be binding upon the
Award Recipient and the Award Recipient’s heirs, executors, administrators, guardians, legal
representatives, successors and assigns.

     16. Integrated Agreement. The RSU Award Notice, this Agreement and the Plan constitute the
entire understanding and agreement of the Award Recipient and the Company with respect to the
subject matter contained herein or therein and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings,
restrictions, representations or warranties among the Award Recipient and the Company with respect
to such subject matter other than those as set forth or provided for herein or therein. To the
extent contemplated herein or therein, the provisions of the RSU Award Notice and the Agreement
shall survive any settlement of the award and shall remain in full force and effect.

     17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, other than the conflict of laws principles thereof.

     18. Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not
affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Except when

7

 

otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall
include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context
clearly requires otherwise.
