3. Exercise of Repurchase Right. Alumnus agrees that SAIC shall have complete discretion to determine whether or not to repurchase the Alumni Shares and the manner and timing of any repurchases of Alumni Shares during the Deferral Repurchase Period. SAIC may elect to repurchase the Alumni Shares using any one or combination of the following methods:

 

(a) Annual Pro-Rata Repurchases. SAIC may elect to repurchase a pro-rata portion of the Alumni Shares each year during the Deferral Repurchase Period. In the event SAIC elects to make a pro-rata repurchase of Alumni Shares in any given year, SAIC shall provide written notice to Alumnus at Alumnus’ address of record within sixty (60) days of any of the sixth through tenth anniversaries of the Termination Date, setting forth the number of Alumni Shares to be repurchased for such year. The purchase price for the Alumni Shares to be repurchased in any given year shall be at the Formula Price in effect on the anniversary of the Termination Date immediately preceding the date on which SAIC provided written notice of repurchase, and payment shall be made within ninety (90) days of such Termination Date anniversary.

(d) Form of Payment. Payment for any repurchase of the Alumni Shares shall be made by corporate check or via electronic transfer, at SAIC’s option.

 

4. Prohibited Transfers. Pursuant to Article Fourth of SAIC’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all transfers of SAIC Stock require the prior written approval of SAIC, other than sales in the limited market maintained by Bull, Inc. During the term of this Agreement, all transfers of the Alumni Shares (other than sales in the limited market) shall continue to require the prior written approval of SAIC. Generally, all transfers will be prohibited other than: (i) transfers to charities; (ii) transfers to an Alumnus Trust; and (iii) transfers to an Alumnus Joint Account. If a transfer to a charity is approved by SAIC, the charity shall be required to enter into an agreement in form and substance acceptable to SAIC that provides SAIC the right to repurchase such Alumni Shares at any time. If a transfer to an Alumnus Trust or to an Alumnus Joint Account is approved by SAIC, the trustee(s) of the trust or the spouse, as the case may be, shall be required to enter into an Alumni Stock Agreement that covers the Alumni Shares being transferred.

 

5. Shares Covered. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement only covers the Alumni Shares and specifically does not cover any shares of SAIC Stock affiliated with Alumnus’ account (e.g., shares transferred to Alumnus’ family members) as of the Termination Date. Shares held as of the Termination Date by an Alumnus Trust and shares held by an Alumnus Joint Account are eligible for deferral under a separate Alumni Stock Agreement entered into by the trustee(s) of such Alumnus Trust, or the spouse with respect to the Alumnus Joint Account.

 

6. Judicial Transfers. In the event that any Alumni Shares are required to be transferred to the Alumnus’ former spouse or any other person or entity as a result of the dissolution of marriage or any other reason, such shares that are required to be transferred shall cease to be eligible for deferral of SAIC’s right of repurchase as set forth in this Agreement, and instead shall be subject to repurchase by SAIC after SAIC receives written notice of the requirement to transfer such shares (“Transfer Notice Date”). In the event SAIC elects to exercise its right to repurchase the shares required to be transferred, SAIC shall provide written notice to Alumnus at Alumnus’ address of record within sixty (60) days after the Transfer Notice Date. Such right of repurchase shall be at the Formula Price in effect as of the date of the court order or other document which requires the transfer of the Alumni Shares. Payment for the repurchase of the shares required to be transferred will be made by corporate check or via electronic transfer, at SAIC’s option, within ninety (90) days of the Transfer Notice Date.

7. Stock Purchase Loans. Alumni Shares that have been purchased with funds from a stock purchase loan guaranteed by SAIC are eligible for deferral by Alumnus only if the loan has been paid off prior to the Termination Date.

 

8. Continuing Effect of Restated Certificate. Except as specifically set forth herein, all other provisions of SAIC’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall remain in full force and effect.

 

9. Termination of Agreement Upon Re-Hire. If Alumnus is re-hired by or becomes re-affiliated with SAIC, this Agreement will terminate in its entirety and the Alumni Shares shall once again become subject to SAIC’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and SAIC shall have the right to repurchase the Alumni Shares upon any subsequent termination of Alumnus’ affiliation.

 

10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the final, complete and exclusive agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by an officer, employee or representative of any party hereto.
