No Expansion of Participation.

(e)

At-Will Status. Notwithstanding the above or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of any member of the CSC Group or any member of the CSRA Group to (i) continue the employment of any Employee or permit the return from a leave of absence for any period following the date of this Agreement or the Effective Time (except as required by applicable Law) or (ii) change the employment status of any Employee from “at will,” to the extent such Employee is an “at will” employee under applicable Law.


(f)	Assumption. Upon and following the Effective Time, CSRA Group shall assume and agree to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the collective bargaining agreements listed on Exhibit A.


(g)	Severance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Distribution and the assignment, transfer or continuation of the employment of Employees as contemplated by this Section 3.1 shall not be deemed a severance of employment of any Employee for purposes of this Agreement or any Benefit Plan of any member of the CSC Group or any member of the CSRA Group.


(h)	Not a Change of Control/Change in Control. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the consummation of the Distribution nor any transaction in connection with the Distribution shall be deemed a “change of control,” “change in control,” or term of similar import for purposes of any Benefit Plan of any member of the CSC Group or any member of the CSRA Group.

Payroll and Related Taxes. With respect to the portion of the tax year occurring prior to and including the Effective Time, CSC will (i) be responsible for all payroll obligations, tax withholding and reporting obligations and (ii) furnish a Form W-2 or similar earnings statement to all CSRA Group Employees for such period. With respect to the remaining portion of such tax year, CSRA will (A) be responsible for all payroll obligations, tax withholding, and reporting obligations regarding CSRA Group Employees and (B) furnish a Form W-2 or similar earnings statement to all CSRA Group Employees. With respect to each CSRA Group Employee, CSC and CSRA shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to (to the extent permitted by applicable Law and practicable) (1) treat CSRA (or the applicable CSRA Entity) as a “successor employer” and CSC (or the applicable CSC Entity) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, to the extent appropriate, for purposes of taxes imposed under the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended (“FICA”), or the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act, as amended (“FUTA”), (2) cooperate with each other to avoid, to the extent possible, the restart of FICA and FUTA upon or following the Effective Time with respect to each such CSRA Group Employee for the tax year during which the Effective Time occurs, and (3) file tax returns, exchange wage payment information, and report wage payments made by the respective predecessor and successor employer on separate IRS Forms W-2 or similar earnings statements to each such CSRA Group Employee for the tax year in which the Effective Time occurs, in a manner provided in Section 4.02(l) of Revenue Procedure 2004-53.

For purposes of the retention agreements, a transfer of employment to CSRA Group will not be deemed a termination of employment. Any reference to employment with a CSC Entity will be deemed to be a reference to employment with CSRA Group.

Confidentiality. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all records and data relating to Employees shall, in each case, be subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement and any other applicable agreement and applicable Law, and the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be in addition to, and not in derogation of, the provisions of the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement governing confidential information, including Section 8.5 of the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement.

(g)

CSC and CSRA shall take any and all reasonable actions as shall be necessary and appropriate to further the provisions of this Section 4, including, to the extent practicable, providing written notice or similar communication to each Employee who holds one or more awards granted under the CSC Equity Plans informing such Employee of (i) the actions contemplated by this Section 4 with respect to such awards and (ii) whether (and during what time period) any “blackout” period shall be imposed upon holders of awards granted under the CSC Equity Plans during which time awards may not be exercised or settled, as the case may be.

(h)

Following the Effective Time, a grantee who has outstanding awards under the CSC Equity Plans and/or replacement awards under the CSRA Equity Plan shall be considered to have been employed by the applicable plan sponsor before and after the Effective Time for purposes of (i) vesting and (ii) determining the date of termination of employment as it applies to any such award. Neither the transfer of employment or service to a CSRA Entity nor the Distribution shall constitute a “Termination” under the CSC Equity Plans.

(i)

No award described in this Section 4, whether outstanding or to be issued, adjusted, substituted or cancelled by reason of or in connection with the Distribution, shall be adjusted, settled, cancelled, or become exercisable, until in the judgment of the administrator of the applicable plan or program such action is consistent with all applicable Laws, including federal securities Laws. Any period of exercisability will not be extended on account of a period during which such an award is not exercisable pursuant to the preceding sentence.


(j)	The adjustment or conversion of CSC Options, CSC RSUs and CSC PSUs shall be effected in a manner that is intended to avoid the imposition of any accelerated, additional, penalty or other taxes on the holders thereof pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.




	15


(k)	The Parties shall not change the manner in which CSC Options, CSC RSUs or CSC PSUs are adjusted at the Effective Time if such change could reasonably be expected to materially increase the liability of CSRA, or the aggregate potential dilution of the holders of CSRA Common Stock, under this Section 4.


4.2	Employee Stock Options


(g)	General Principles. The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.2 with respect to the CSC Options and CSRA Options are intended to be effected in a manner compliant with Section 424(a) of the Code.

(h)

CSC Options. Each outstanding CSC Option other than any CSC Option granted in fiscal year 2016, regardless of by whom held, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted on the Distribution Date into both an option to purchase CSC Common Stock issued under the CSC Equity Plan (each such option, an “Adjusted CSC Employee Option”) and an option to purchase CSRA Common Stock issued under the CSRA Equity Plan (each such option, a “CSRA Employee Option”) and shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time:

(i)

the number of shares of CSC Common Stock subject to each such Adjusted CSC Employee Option shall be equal (A) the number of shares of CSC Common Stock subject to the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) a ratio, the numerator of which shall equal the sum of the portion of the aggregate $10.50 special dividend paid by CSC and the CSC Post-Distribution Stock Value, and denominator of which shall be the CSC Post-Distribution Stock Value, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share;

(ii)

the number of shares of CSRA Common Stock subject to each such CSRA Employee Option shall be equal to (A) the number of shares of CSC Common Stock subject to the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) a ratio, the numerator of which shall equal the sum of the portion of the aggregate $10.50 special dividend paid by CSRA and the CSRA Post-Distribution Stock Value, and denominator of which shall be the CSRA Post-Distribution Stock Value, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share;


(iii)	the per-share exercise price of each such Adjusted CSC Employee Option shall be equal to (A) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the CSC Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; and

Vesting of Options. Each outstanding CSC Option, regardless of by whom held, at the Effective Time shall (i) with respect to any CSC Option granted in fiscal year 2014, be vested in full immediately following the Effective Time and (ii) with respect to any CSC Option granted in fiscal year 2015, be vested 2/3 immediately following the Effective Time, with the remaining unvested 1/3 to vest fifty percent (50%) in May 2016 and fifty percent (50%) in May 2017 pursuant to the terms of the CSC Equity Plan and the CSRA Equity Plan subject to terms and conditions after the Effective Time that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and no




	16

additional vesting shall occur solely as a result of the Distribution with respect to any CSC Option granted in fiscal year 2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSC Options granted in fiscal year 2015 may, at the discretion of CSC or CSRA, as applicable, vest in accordance with the current vesting schedule for such CSC Options.

(j)

CSC Option Granted in Fiscal Year 2016.

Each outstanding CSC Option granted in fiscal year 2016 held by a CSRA Group Employee at the Effective Time shall be converted into a CSRA Employee Option, subject to terms and conditions after the Effective Time that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2(d)(ii) and (iv) below.


(i)	The number of shares of CSC Common Stock subject to each such Adjusted CSC Employee Option shall be equal to (A) the number of shares of CSC Common Stock subject to the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the CSC Ratio, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share;


(ii)	the number of shares of CSRA Common Stock subject to each such CSRA Employee Option shall be equal to (A) the number of shares of CSC Common Stock subject to the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the CSRA Ratio, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share;


(iii)	the per-share exercise price of each such Adjusted CSC Employee Option shall be equal to (A) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the CSC Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; and


(iv)	the per-share exercise price of each such CSRA Employee Option shall be equal to (A) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding CSC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the CSRA Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

CSC RSUs, regardless of by whom held, shall be replaced at the Effective Time with (i) a CSC RSU, (ii) an award under the CSRA Equity Plan of a number of CSRA restricted stock units (the “CSRA RSUs”) equal to the number of CSC RSUs subject to each grant, and (iii) $10.50 in cash per CSRA RSU (with CSC and CSRA each contributing a portion of such amount). The $10.50 per share of cash shall vest and be distributed at the same time the shares underlying the corresponding CSRA RSU vest and are distributed. The terms and conditions to which the CSC RSUs or the CSRA RSUs, as applicable, are subject shall be substantially the same terms and conditions as in effect for the corresponding CSC RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time.

	17

with (x) a number of CSC RSUs with respect to a director who remains a director of a CSC Entity following the Effective Time with a grant-date value of $100,000, vesting as of the same date as the original CSC Director RSUs, plus a number of fully vested CSC RSUs with a grant-date value equal to the product of (1) the special dividend of $10.50 per share with respect to CSRA common stock (with CSC and CSRA each contributing a portion of such amount) multiplied by (2) the number of CSC Director RSUs in which the director vested as of the Effective Time (the “Lost Dividend Amount”), or (y) a number of CSRA RSUs with respect to a director who becomes a director of CSRA as of the Effective Time with a grant-date value of $80,000, vesting as of the same date as the original CSC Director RSUs, plus a number of fully vested CSRA RSUs with a grant-date value equal to the Lost Dividend Amount; or (z) a number of fully-vested CSC RSUs with respect to a director who ceases to be a director of a CSC Entity and who does not become a director of CSRA as of the Effective Time with a grant-date value equal to the Lost Dividend Amount. In each case, the number of RSUs granted shall be determined in accordance with the granting entity’s normal grant procedures and the RSUs, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as the original CSC Director RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, for any director of a CSC Entity who has elected to defer the settlement of his or her CSC RSU awards for the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs, (A) fifty percent (50%) of the CSC Director RSUs shall vest as of the Effective Time and shall be converted into both a CSC RSU and a CSRA RSU in accordance with the terms described in Section 4.3(a) above, in each case which shall be settled in accordance with the terms of the director’s deferral election, and (B) with respect to any new CSC or CSRA RSUs granted to such director pursuant to subsection 4.3(b)(ii)(x), (y) or (z) above, such new RSUs shall (to the extent vested) be settled in accordance with the terms of the director’s deferral election.

As of the Effective Time, each ongoing performance period relating to outstanding PSUs granted under the CSC Equity Plans in fiscal years 2014 and 2015 shall be deemed completed, and any outstanding PSUs shall vest and be settled with the achievement of applicable performance measures deemed to have been satisfied at a level of (i) two hundred percent (200%) of target with respect to PSUs granted in fiscal year 2014; fifty percent (50%) of the PSUs granted in fiscal year 2014 had previously vested, and (ii) seventy percent (70%) of target with respect to PSUs granted in fiscal year 2015; twenty-five percent (25%) of the PSUs granted in fiscal year 2015 had previously vested, leaving forty-five percent (45%) of the award to vest immediately prior to the Effective Time. The remaining unvested thirty percent (30%) of target PSUs granted in fiscal year 2015 will be converted into both time-vesting CSC RSUs and time-vesting CSRA RSUs, which shall vest fifty percent (50%) in May 2016 and fifty percent (50%) in May 2017, subject to the continued employment of the recipient through the applicable settlement date, and in accordance with all other terms of the original CSC Equity Plan awards, and each of the time-vesting CSC RSUs and time-vesting CSRA RSUs will receive the applicable dividend associated with such shares and will vest and be distributed at the same time as the shares underlying the corresponding time-vesting CSC RSUs and time-vesting CSRA RSUs vest and are distributed.

(ii)	the number of shares of CSRA Common Stock subject to each such CSRA PSU shall be equal to (A) the number of shares of CSC Common Stock subject to the corresponding PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the CSRA Ratio, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(c)

As of the Effective Time, the performance measures applicable to each outstanding PSUs granted in fiscal year 2016 held by a CSC Group Employee shall be adjusted pursuant to the CSC Equity Plans to provide for new performance criteria following the Distribution Date, as determined by the compensation committee of the Board, in its sole discretion; the performance measures applicable to each outstanding PSUs granted in fiscal year 2016 held by a CSRA Group Employee shall be adjusted pursuant to the CSRA Equity Plan to provide for new performance criteria following the Distribution Date, as determined by the compensation committee of the CSRA Board, in its sole discretion.

(v)

It is the intention of the Parties that all activity under a CSRA Welfare Plan Participant’s flexible spending account with CSC for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs be treated instead as activity under the corresponding CSRA FSA.

(g)

Additional Details Regarding Health Savings Accounts. To the extent that any CSRA Welfare Plan provides or constitutes a health savings account (each a “CSRA HSA”), such CSRA Welfare Plan shall be effective no later than as of the Effective Time.

	28

participation by a CSRA Welfare Plan Participant in a CSC health reimbursement account during the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs (the “HRA Participation Period”) will be deemed a period when the CSRA Welfare Plan Participant participated in the corresponding CSRA HRA, (B) all expenses incurred during the HRA Participation Period will be deemed incurred while the CSRA Welfare Plan Participant’s coverage was in effect under the corresponding CSRA HRA, and (C) all company contributions earned and reimbursements made with respect to an HRA Participation Period under a CSC health reimbursement account will be deemed to have been made with respect to the corresponding CSRA HRA.

(ii)

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3, at and after the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which such plans are established, the CSRA Group shall assume, and cause the CSRA Welfare Plans to be solely responsible for, all claims by CSRA Welfare Plan Participants under the applicable CSC Welfare Plan health reimbursement accounts that were incurred in the plan year in which the Distribution occurs, whether incurred prior to, on, or after the Effective Time, that have not been paid in full as of the Effective Time. In addition, Section 7.3 shall be administered in all cases such that there shall be no duplication of benefits, payments or contributions made to or on behalf of a CSRA Welfare Plan Participant (or beneficiary) under the CSRA Welfare Plans or CSC Welfare Plans, including the respective FSA, HSA and HRA plans.

Neither Party shall be liable for failure to obtain such insurance contracts, pricing discounts, or other preferential terms for the other Party.

Furthermore, the Parties agree that, with respect to equity awards held by CSC Group Employees or CSRA Group Employees which provide for cancellation, forfeiture or similar action in the event of a determination that the holder of an equity award engaged in “detrimental activities”, the entity that does not employ such holder shall enforce the penalties with respect to the detrimental activities and treat any equity award that was converted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as a result of such detrimental activities as the employing entity. For purposes of this Section 9.5, “detrimental activities” shall include any of the following activities: (i) competing with the CSC Group or the CSRA Group, as applicable, (ii) using or disclosing, other than as expressly authorized by the CSC Group or the CSRA Group, as applicable, any confidential business information or trade secrets that the participant obtains during the course of his or her employment with the CSC Group or the CSRA Group, as applicable; and (iii) after the participant is no longer employed by the CSC Group or the CSRA Group, as applicable, (A) soliciting any person or entity whom the participant knows to be a customer of, or whose business the participant solicited on behalf of, the CSC Group or the CSRA Group, as applicable, while employed by it, (B) soliciting or hiring any person who is then an employee of the CSC Group or the CSRA Group, as applicable, or (C) taking any action that, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the CSC Group or the CSRA Group, as applicable, is not in the best interests of the CSC Group or the CSRA Group, as applicable.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, on and after the Distribution Date, CSRA shall assume, and be solely liable for, the handling, administration, investigation, and defense of actions, including ERISA, occupational safety and health, employment standards, union grievances, wrongful dismissal, discrimination or human rights, and unemployment compensation claims asserted at any time against CSC or any member of the CSC Group by any CSRA Group Employee (including any dependent or beneficiary of any such Employee) or any other person, to the extent such actions or claims arise out of or relate to employment or the provision of services (whether as an employee, contractor, consultant, or otherwise) to or with respect to the business activities of any member of the CSRA Group after the Distribution Date. To the extent that any legal action relates to a putative or certified class of plaintiffs, which includes both CSC Group Employees (or Former CSC Group Employees) and CSRA Group Employees and such action involves employment or benefit plan related claims, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in responding to such legal action shall be allocated among the Parties equitably in proportion to a reasonable assessment of the relative proportion of Employees included in or represented by the putative or certified plaintiff class. The procedures contained in the indemnification and related litigation cooperation provisions of the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement shall apply with respect to each Party’s indemnification obligations under this Section 11.3.


11.4	Reimbursement and Indemnification

Each Party agrees to reimburse the other Party, within thirty (30) days of receipt from the other Party of reasonable verification, for all costs and expenses which the other Party may incur on its behalf as a result of any of the respective CSC and CSRA Welfare Plans, Retirement Plans, Benefit Plans, and Deferred Compensation Plans and, as contemplated by Sections 4, 5 and 6, any termination or severance payments or benefits. All Liabilities retained, assumed, or indemnified against by CSRA pursuant to this Agreement, and all Liabilities retained, assumed, or indemnified against by CSC pursuant to this Agreement, shall in each case be subject to the indemnification provisions of the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) no provision of this Agreement shall require any member of the CSRA Group to pay or reimburse to any member of the CSC Group any benefit-related cost item that a member of the CSRA Group has paid or reimbursed to any member of the CSC Group prior to the Effective Time and (ii) no provision of this Agreement shall require any member of the CSC Group to pay or reimburse to any member of the CSRA Group any benefit-related cost item that a member of the CSC Group has paid or reimbursed to any member of the CSRA Group prior to the Effective Time.


11.5	Costs of Compliance with Agreement

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other contractual agreement or arrangement, each Party shall pay its own expenses in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.


11.6	Fiduciary Matters

CSC and CSRA each acknowledges that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable Law, and no Party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good-faith determination (as supported by advice from counsel experienced in such matters) that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard. Each Party shall be responsible for taking such actions




	34

as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other Party for any Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility.


11.7	Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the documents referenced herein (including the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Benefit Plans), constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written and oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof. To the extent any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the provisions of the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement (other than Sections 11.10 and 11.16(b) thereof), the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to control with respect to the subject matter hereof.


11.8	Binding Effect; No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Assignment

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and should not be deemed to confer upon any third parties any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, cause of action, or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to amend any Benefit Plan or affect the applicable plan sponsor’s right to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan pursuant to the terms of such plan. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no current or former Employee, officer, director, or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party, except with the prior written consent of the other Party.


11.9	Amendment; Waivers

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercises thereof or of any other right.


11.10	Remedies Cumulative

All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

11.13	Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a non-appealable decision by a court, administrative agency, or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the court, administrative agency, or arbitrator shall interpret this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. If any sentence in this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
