PERSPECTA INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Note 1 – Overview and Basis of Presentation
Background
Perspecta Inc. (“Perspecta,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a leading provider of end-to-end enterprise information technology (“IT”), mission, and operations-related services across the United States (“U.S.”) federal government to the Department of Defense (“DoD”), the intelligence community, and homeland security, civilian and health care agencies, as well as to certain state and local government agencies through two reportable segments: (1) Defense and Intelligence, which provides services to the DoD, intelligence community, branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and other DoD agencies, and (2) Civilian and Health Care, which provides services to the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, and Health and Human Services, as well as other federal civilian and state and local government agencies.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
Effective April 1, 2020, Perspecta’s fiscal year was modified to end on the Friday nearest March 31 of each year, with each fiscal year generally comprised of four thirteen-week fiscal quarters ending on the Friday nearest the end of calendar months June, September, December and March. As a result, fiscal year 2021 will contain 52 weeks and three days beginning April 1, 2020 and ending April 2, 2021, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q covers the period beginning July 4, 2020 and ending October 2, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation and Combination
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Amounts subject to significant judgment and/or estimates include, but are not limited to, determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the evaluation of impairment of goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets, costs to complete fixed-price contracts, fair value, certain deferred costs, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, loss accruals for litigation, and inputs used for computing shared-based compensation and pension related liabilities. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of historical experience, current events, and various other assumptions that management considers reasonable under the circumstances.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation, including the separate reporting of non-current operating lease obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These reclassifications had no impact on total assets, total liabilities, total equity, income before taxes or net income.
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The guidance, along with related amendments, changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Perspecta adopted the standard on April 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on Perspecta’s financial statements given the Company’s historically high collection results due to a concentration of receivables with the U.S. government.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350- 40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 provides guidance for determining when a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and makes changes to the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on April 1, 2020 and will apply it to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 has not had a material impact thus far, and the future impact on Perspecta's financial statements and disclosures will depend on the volume of cloud-based solutions implemented.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides companies with optional expedients and exceptions to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The optional expedients may be applied to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of the reference rate reform. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and may be adopted using a prospective approach through December 31, 2022. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is expected to have an impact on hedge designation as contract modifications and other changes occur while LIBOR is phased out, but is not expected to have a material impact on Perspecta’s financial statements. The Company is evaluating the expedients and reviewing its financial contracts that utilize LIBOR as the reference rate and will continue its assessment during the LIBOR transition period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Other recently issued ASUs effective after October 2, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on Perspecta’s financial statements.
Note 3 – Acquisitions
DHPC Technologies, Inc. Acquisition
On May 1, 2020, Perspecta completed the acquisition of DHPC Technologies, Inc. (“DHPC”), a U.S. developer of electronic warfare technologies with market-leading technical solutions and a solid, proven reputation with Army customers. The purchase consideration was approximately $53 million in cash. The Company recognized preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocated approximately $31 million to goodwill and $20 million to intangible assets, reported in the Defense and Intelligence segment. The intangible assets consist primarily of program assets of $18 million and backlog of $2 million. The estimated fair value attributed to intangible assets is being amortized on an accelerated basis over 20 years for program assets and approximately one year for backlog. The fair value attributed to the intangible assets acquired was based on preliminary estimates, assumptions, and other information compiled by management, including independent valuations that utilized established valuation techniques. All of the value attributed to goodwill and intangible assets is deductible for income tax purposes. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and based on a valuation using estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, which could result in changes to the purchase price allocation. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the results of operations are not material to the operations of Perspecta. The final purchase price allocation is expected to be completed during fiscal year 2021.
The results of operations of DHPC have been included in the statements of operations beginning May 1, 2020. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as it is not material to the consolidated results of operations. The acquisition was considered an asset purchase for tax purposes.
Knight Point Systems, LLC
On July 31, 2019, Perspecta acquired all of the equity interests of Knight Point Systems, LLC (“Knight Point”) for $264 million. Knight Point delivers end-to-end managed services and solutions focused on modernizing IT systems, protecting critical networks and driving digital transformation to improve customer transparency and operational efficiency. Knight Point leverages a portfolio of intellectual property to solve complex customer challenges in cloud, cybersecurity and agile development and operations environments.
The Company completed the purchase accounting for the Knight Point acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, and made no material changes to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
The results of operations of Knight Point have been included in the statements of operations beginning August 1, 2019. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as it is not material to the consolidated results of operations. The acquisition was considered an asset purchase for tax purposes. All of the value attributed to goodwill and intangible assets is deductible for income tax purposes.

Note 5 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of other equity awards. There were no significant anti-dilutive equity awards excluded from the calculation of EPS for the fiscal quarters and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 or September 30, 2019.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

Collections on sold receivables were $887 million and $749 million during the fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. During the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 30, 2019, collections on sold receivables were $1.76 billion and $1.41 billion, respectively.
The amounts outstanding at October 2, 2020 and March 31, 2020 were $300 million and $255 million, respectively. As of October 2, 2020 and March 31, 2020, there were $21 million and $63 million, respectively, of cash collected by the Company but not remitted to the financial institutions, which represents restricted cash recorded by the Company within the other current assets caption on the accompanying balance sheets.
Note 7 – Fair Value
The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt primarily using an expected present value technique, which is based on observable market inputs, using interest rates currently available to the Company for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding finance leases and unamortized debt issuance costs, was $2.26 billion and $2.18 billion as of October 2, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, as compared with the gross carrying value of $2.30 billion and $2.39 billion, respectively. If measured at fair value, long-term debt, excluding finance lease obligations, would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Non-financial assets such as goodwill, tangible assets, intangible assets and other contract related long-lived assets are reduced to fair value in the period an impairment charge is recognized. The fair value measurements, in such instances, would be classified in Level 3. There were no significant impairments recorded during the fiscal periods ended October 2, 2020 or September 30, 2019.
Note 8 – Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, to hedge certain interest rate exposures. The Company’s objective is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to movements in market interest rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or any speculative purpose. The Company’s derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges, and therefore, all changes in the hedging instruments’ fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions are recognized in earnings.
As of October 2, 2020, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $2.50 billion. As of October 2, 2020, we expect amounts of approximately $39 million pertaining to cash flow hedges to be reclassified from AOCL into earnings over the next 12 months.
All derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s accounting treatment for these derivative instruments is based on its hedge designation. The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated based on valuation models that use interest rate yield curves as Level 2 inputs. The gross fair value of our derivative liabilities in interest rate swaps designated for hedge accounting were as follow:

As of October 2, 2020, the Company had aggregate rent obligations of $17 million for operating leases and $1 million for finance leases, for leases that have not commenced, with terms ranging from three to eight years.
In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, we implemented telework initiatives in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. Due to the success of those initiatives and a decision to utilize increased telework arrangements, we evaluated our real estate footprint and implemented a facility rationalization restructuring plan during the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2020, identifying 20 facilities that would no longer be utilized. During the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020, we identified an additional four facilities that would no longer be utilized, bringing the total to 24 facilities. Restructuring charges of $13 million and $31 million were recognized during the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, respectively, including $21 million of right-of-use assets that were abandoned. At October 2, 2020, $21 million of this restructuring liability remained unpaid, primarily included in operating lease obligations.
Note 11 – Pension and Other Benefit Plans
The Company offers a defined benefit pension plan, a retiree medical plan, life insurance benefits, deferred compensation plans and defined contribution plans. The Company’s defined benefit pension and retiree medical plans are not admitting new participants; therefore, changes to pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities are primarily due to market fluctuations of investments, actuarial assumptions for the measurement of liabilities and changes in interest rates.
The Company contributed $0 million and $7 million to the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, respectively. The Company did not contribute to the defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019. The Company does not expect to contribute during the remainder of fiscal year 2021.

Net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s retiree medical plan was not significant for the fiscal quarters and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 or September 30, 2019.
Note 12 – Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was approximately 16% and 41% for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, respectively, as compared to 22% and 24% for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019, respectively. For the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, the primary drivers of our ETR were state income taxes, the reversal of an indemnified tax receivable and limitations on executive compensation deductions. For the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019, the primary drivers of our ETR were state income taxes, non-deductible transaction expenses and the release of certain indemnified liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company is bound by a Tax Matters Agreement (“TMA”) with DXC Technology Company (“DXC”), executed as of May 31, 2018, the date when Perspecta became an independent company through the consummation of the spin-off of the DXC U.S. Public Sector (“USPS”) business (the “Spin-Off”), and mergers with Vencore Holding Corp. (“Vencore HC”) and KGS Holding Corp. (“KGS HC”) (the “Mergers”). The TMA states each company’s rights and responsibilities with respect to payment of taxes, tax return filings and control of tax examinations. For certain of our tax years ending prior to June 1, 2018, we may have joint and several liability with DXC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”) and/or HP Inc. to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the consolidated U.S. federal income taxes of DXC or predecessor consolidated groups relating to the taxable periods in which we were part of that group. The TMA specifies the portion, if any, of this tax liability for which we would bear responsibility, and DXC agrees to indemnify us against any amounts for which the Company is not responsible. Except for Vencore HC and KGS HC, the Company is generally only responsible for tax assessments, penalties and interest allocable to periods (or portions of periods) beginning after June 1, 2018. The TMA also provides special rules for allocating tax liabilities in the event the Spin-Off is determined not to be tax-free. Though valid as between the parties, the TMA is not binding on the IRS.
The Company had income tax refunds receivable from the IRS and various state tax authorities of approximately $55 million at October 2, 2020, for which it must remit to DXC under the TMA and has recorded a corresponding payable. The receivable is included in other receivables and other assets and the payable is included in accrued expenses on our balance sheet.
The Company engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. at the federal and state level and is subject to routine corporate income tax audits in these jurisdictions. The Company’s entities included in the Spin-Off are currently under examination or in appeals in several tax jurisdictions. Tax years remaining open for IRS and/or state taxing authority examination or review under applicable statutes of limitations are calendar years 2007 and 2008, fiscal year 2010, and fiscal years 2016 and forward. The IRS is not currently examining Perspecta Inc., Vencore HC or KGS HC for any open years, but entities related to these businesses remain open to examination federally and in various state and local jurisdictions.
Note 13 – Shareholders’ Equity
Cash Dividends
During the fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Board of Directors declared cash dividends to our shareholders of approximately $12 million ($0.07 per common share) and $10 million ($0.06 per common share), respectively. During the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Board of Directors declared cash dividends to our shareholders of approximately $23 million ($0.14 per common share) and $20 million ($0.12 per common share), respectively. The cash dividends were paid in the fiscal quarter following their declaration.
On November 9, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.07 per common share payable on January 15, 2021 to common shareholders of record at the close of business on November 24, 2020.
Share-based Compensation
The Company recognized $10 million in share-based compensation expense during each of the fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 30, 2019. The Company recognized $17 million and $15 million in share-based compensation for the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. During the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, the Company granted approximately 1.1 million time-based restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) and approximately 916 thousand performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). The RSUs and PSUs are valued using the closing price on the trading day of the grant. The weighted average grant date fair value of the RSUs and PSUs granted during the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 was $23.81 and $23.98, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On August 5, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the Perspecta Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and has been allocated 5,000,000 shares. The purchase price will be 95% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the ESPP) of our common stock on the purchase date, and in any event will never be lower than the lower of 85% of the Fair Market Value of our common stock on the grant date or the purchase date. The first quarterly offering period under the ESPP is October 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
Note 14 – Segment Information

Reconciliation of Reportable Segment Profit to the Statements of Operations
The Company’s management uses segment profit as the measure for assessing performance of its segments. Segment profit is defined as segment revenue less segment cost of services, selling, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization, excluding certain operating expenses managed at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include certain corporate function costs, share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment charges, certain nonrecoverable restructuring costs, separation, transaction and integration-related costs, net periodic benefit cost and gain or loss on sale of assets.

Management does not use total assets by segment to evaluate segment performance or allocate resources. As a result, assets are not tracked by segment and therefore, total assets by segment is not disclosed.
Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a party to or has responsibility under various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings involving disputes or potential disputes related to commercial, employment and regulatory matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “SDA”) between Perspecta and DXC includes provisions that allocate liability and financial responsibility for litigation involving DXC and the Company and that provide for cross-indemnification of the parties for liabilities a party may incur that are allocated to the other party under the SDA. In
addition, under the SDA, DXC and the Company have agreed to cooperate with each other in managing litigation that relates to both parties’ businesses. The SDA also contains provisions that allocate liability and financial responsibility for such litigation. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability of having incurred a liability and the estimated amount of the liability. The Company reviews these matters at least quarterly and adjusts these liabilities to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other updated information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies. The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters and, as of October 2, 2020, it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in connection with such matters in excess of the amounts recognized in its financial statements.
Litigation, Proceedings and Investigations
Forsyth, et al. v. HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise: This purported class and collective action was filed on August 18, 2016 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, against HP Inc. and HPE alleging violations of the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California public policy and the California Business and Professions Code. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on December 19, 2016. Plaintiffs are seeking to certify a nationwide class action under the ADEA comprised of certain U.S. residents employed by defendants who had their employment terminated pursuant to a work force reduction (“WFR”) plan on or after December 9, 2014 (deferral states) and April 8, 2015 (non-deferral states), and who were 40 years of age or older at the time of termination. Plaintiffs also seek to represent a Rule 23 class under California law comprised of certain persons 40 years or older employed by defendants in the state of California and terminated pursuant to a WFR plan on or after August 18, 2012. Two mediation sessions have taken place. In October 2018, a settlement was reached with 16 named and opt-in plaintiffs; that settlement has been completed. On June 26-27, 2019, a second mediation was held, involving 145 opt-in plaintiffs. On December 23, 2019, a settlement was reached with 142 of the 145 opt-in plaintiffs; that settlement also has been completed. Former business units of HPE now owned by the Company will be liable in this matter for any recovery by plaintiffs previously associated with the USPS business of HPE.
In addition to the matter noted above, the Company is currently subject in the normal course of business to various claims and contingencies arising from, among other things, disputes with customers, vendors, employees, contract counter parties and other parties, and inquiries and investigations by regulatory authorities and government agencies. Some of these disputes involve or may involve litigation. The financial statements reflect the treatment of claims and contingencies based on management’s view of the expected outcome. The Company consults with outside legal counsel on issues related to litigation and regulatory compliance and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these and other matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and the impact of the final resolution of these and other matters on the Company’s results of operations in a particular subsequent reporting period could be material and adverse, management does not believe, based on information currently available to the Company, that the resolution of any of the matters currently pending against the Company will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company or the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to determine at this time a reasonable estimate of a possible loss or range of losses associated with the foregoing disclosed contingent matters.
Commitments
In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company was obligated to purchase or license from DXC a specified amount of products and services each year for a two-year period ending July 31, 2020 (“Annual Minimum Purchase Amounts”). If the Company, however, had not met or exceeded the Annual Minimum Purchase Amounts by that date, it was required to pay DXC the amount of the shortfall. The combined two-year Annual Minimum Purchase Amounts commitment totaled approximately $141 million. In October 2019, the Company submitted a demand for arbitration claiming, among other things, that DXC breached its obligations under the relevant Spin-Off agreements by failing to properly apply credit against the Annual Minimum Purchase Amounts for eligible items purchased by the Company. That dispute relating to the appropriate crediting of eligible purchases involves approximately half of the total two-year Annual Minimum Purchase Amounts. The relevant agreements require such disagreements to be treated in a confidential manner through executive escalation, mediation and binding arbitration. Based on the status of the arbitration, we currently are unable to predict the impact of any resolution of this matter. Notwithstanding the arbitration claims, the Company would be obligated to pay
DXC any amount of shortfall not addressed in or otherwise subject to the arbitration or covered by other possible defenses.
Guarantees
The Company uses stand-by letters of credit, in lieu of cash, to support various risk management insurance policies, which are cash collateralized. These letters of credit represent a contingent liability and the Company would only be liable if it defaults on its payment obligations on these policies. The Company’s stand-by letters of credit outstanding were less than $1 million as of October 2, 2020. As of October 2, 2020, the Company had $40 million in outstanding surety bonds, of which $7 million expire in fiscal year 2021, and $33 million expire in fiscal year 2022.
Note 16 – Subsequent Events
Effective October 30, 2020, the Company completed the Amended and Restated Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement to increase the limit to $325 million, extend the maturity of the facility through October 29, 2021 and to amend certain other terms.

report any events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help investors understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this document and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
The statements in this discussion regarding industry outlook, expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Some of these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, as updated periodically through our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a leading provider of end-to-end enterprise IT services to government customers across U.S. federal, state and local markets. Using our market-leading enterprise offerings and solutions, we help our government customers implement modern collaborative workplaces, hybrid cloud platforms and integrated digital systems of engagement with their enterprise management systems. By delivering these modern enterprise solutions, often while ensuring interoperability with mission critical legacy systems, we believe we have helped our government customers better realize the benefits of technology, which will ultimately enable them to fulfill their mission objectives and achieve their desired business outcomes.
In addition to providing substantial benefits through increased efficiencies and capabilities, we believe demand for our services is also driven by the technological advances that already reinvented commercial industries, which are now exerting a similar evolutionary effect on government customers. In response to these pressures, we believe government customers are increasingly turning to outside partners, such as Perspecta, to help guide them through their digital transformation.
We believe our breadth of contracts and customers in the U.S. government, and our longstanding history of having partnered with our public sector customers for more than 50 years via our legacy companies, provides us with a competitive advantage. For example, we have existing contracts with a range of public sector entities including the DoD, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, to the U.S. Postal Service, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and large state and local government customers such as the county of San Diego, California. Based on this breadth of experience and our expertise, we believe we are well positioned to help our U.S. government customers continue their ongoing digital transformation journey.
Perspecta became an independent company following consummation of the Spin-Off from DXC on May 31, 2018. On October 29, 2019, the Company filed for arbitration against DXC to resolve certain disputed items related to the Spin-Off. After completion of the Spin-Off, the Company began assessing the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of DXC and the Company under the SDA and other related Spin-Off agreements. Based on this assessment, and in accordance with the provisions of the agreements, the Company disputed certain transactions that were effected by DXC in connection with the Spin-Off. The Company has been addressing these matters with DXC pursuant to the terms of the SDA, including its confidentiality provisions and dispute resolution provisions that require executive escalation, mediation and binding arbitration. Based on the status of the arbitration, we currently are unable to predict the impact of any resolutions of these matters on the Company.
Acquisition
On May 1, 2020, Perspecta completed the acquisition of DHPC, a U.S. developer of electronic warfare technologies with market-leading technical solutions and a solid, proven reputation with Army customers. The purchase consideration was approximately $53 million in cash. See Note 3 – “Acquisitions” to the financial statements for additional details.
Segments and Services
Our reportable segments are (1) Defense and Intelligence, which provides services to the DoD, intelligence community, branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and other DoD agencies, and (2) Civilian and Health Care, which provides services to the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, and Health and Human Services, as well as other federal civilian and state and local government agencies. Segment information is included in Note 14 – “Segment Information” to the financial statements.
Backlog
Total contract value (“TCV”) backlog is our estimate of the remaining revenue from existing signed contracts, assuming the exercise of all options relating to such contracts and including executed task orders issued under ID/IQ contracts. TCV backlog can include award fees, incentive fees, or other variable consideration estimated at the most likely amount to which the Company is expected to be entitled to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. TCV backlog includes both funded and unfunded future revenue under government contracts.
We define funded backlog as estimated future revenue under government contracts and task orders for which funding has been appropriated by Congress and authorized for expenditure by the applicable agency. Funded backlog does not include the full potential value of the Company’s contracts because Congress often appropriates funds to be used by an agency for a particular program of a contract on a yearly or quarterly basis even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term, and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until Congress makes subsequent appropriation and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.
A variety of circumstances or events may cause changes in the amount of our TCV backlog and funded backlog, including the execution of new contracts, the extension of existing contracts, the non-renewal or completion of current contracts, the early termination of contracts, and adjustment to estimates for previously included contracts. Changes in the amount of our funded backlog also are affected by the funding cycles of the government.
The estimated value of our TCV backlog as of October 2, 2020 was as follows:

Results of Operations
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 marked the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, and the pandemic has continued through the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. Due to the mission-critical nature of the majority of our business, substantially all of the services we provide to our government customers have been considered essential services, which has allowed them to continue, and the Company has maintained its workforce near full capacity. The overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations was approximately $18 million and $41 million of
lower revenue for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, respectively, and a year-to-date liquidity benefit of $40 million due to deferral of payroll tax payments as afforded by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, discussed below. We continue to assess further possible implications to our business, supply chain and customers, and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.
We are continuing to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience certain disruptions in our operations and impact to our workforce and subcontractor workforce due to illness, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, closures of our facilities, closures of our customers’ facilities and other restrictions or government actions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. At the outset of the pandemic, we deployed our Crisis and Business Continuity Plan, which provides an integrated and coordinated crisis management and continuity of operations framework for all personnel during a crisis, and we have implemented new protocols including telework or other means of remote work for our employees. With respect to our impacted programs that, by their nature, cannot be supported remotely, we have accommodated those customers who have implemented shiftwork or other mitigation protocols by maintaining our workforce in a “mission ready” state such that the workforce is able to mobilize in a timely manner.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted. The CARES Act is a $2 trillion stimulus package meant to combat the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes a provision under which government contractors can seek reimbursement for amounts related to keeping the employee base in a ready state during disruptions such as closed facilities, reduced work schedules or mandated quarantines to support social distancing. In these situations, we are able to recover our costs associated with this ready state workforce, but we are not able to bill any associated fee. The relevant provision of the CARES Act is in effect until December 11, 2020. We continue to evaluate this and other provisions of the CARES Act, as well as any other legislative or regulatory initiatives that seek to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.
For additional discussion of the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Defense and Intelligence Segment
Our Defense and Intelligence segment revenue during the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020 increased by $19 million, or 2%, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to new business wins coupled with growth on existing programs. Our Defense and Intelligence segment revenue during the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 increased by $43 million, or 3%, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to new business wins coupled with growth on existing programs.
Civilian and Health Care Segment
Our Civilian and Health Care segment revenue during the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020 decreased by $49 million, or 12%, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to a large, one-time asset sale in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Our Civilian and Health Care segment revenue during the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 decreased by $72 million, or 10%, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to the one-time asset sale and completion and wind down of certain programs in fiscal year 2020.

Costs of Services
For the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020, costs of services as a percentage of revenue was 80%, as compared to 77% for the comparable period of the prior year. For the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, cost of services as a percentage of revenue was 80%, as compared to 77% for the comparable period of the prior year. Margins were negatively impacted by the inability to bill fee on our mission ready workforce idled by the COVID-19 pandemic, the completion and wind down of certain fixed price programs in the prior fiscal year and start-up costs associated with new contract wins, partially offset by continued focus on cost discipline and program management of our portfolio. Our cost-reimbursable and time-and-materials contracts typically have consistent margins, whereas the margin on our fixed price contracts is dependent upon management’s ability to control the costs of providing the services. We expect our contract mix to remain relatively stable over the long term.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) was $65 million for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020, as compared to $81 million for the comparable period of the prior year. SG&A as a percentage of revenue for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020 was 6%, as compared to 7% for the comparable period of the prior year, with the decrease in the current fiscal year primarily due to reduced costs as a result of restructuring activities in prior quarters, and indirect cost management. SG&A was $127 million for the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, as compared to $153 million for the comparable period of the prior year. SG&A as a percentage of revenue for the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 was 6%, as compared to 7% for the comparable period of the prior year, with the decrease in the current fiscal year primarily due to indirect cost management and reduced costs as a result of restructuring activities taken in fiscal year 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $96 million for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020, as compared to $90 million for the comparable period of the prior year. The $6 million increase during the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020 was primarily attributed to depreciation and amortization associated with contract-related assets. Depreciation and amortization expense was $192 million for the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, as compared to $191 million for the comparable period of the prior year.
Restructuring Costs
During the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020, restructuring activities resulted in costs of $13 million, as compared to $2 million during the comparable period of the prior year. During the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, restructuring activities resulted in costs of $31 million, as compared to $4 million during the comparable period of the prior year. See Note 10 – “Leases” for a description of the facility rationalization restructuring plan that has been executed throughout the first half of fiscal year 2021.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020 was $29 million, as compared to $36 million during the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease of $7 million in interest expense for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020 was primarily attributed to a lower LIBOR rate during the current period. Interest expense, net for the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 was $59 million, as compared to $71 million during the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease of $12 million in interest expense for the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 was primarily attributed to a lower LIBOR rate during the current period.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020 was $(4) million, as compared to $(2) million during the comparable period of the prior year, and $(19) million for the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, as compared to $(2) million during the comparable period of the prior year. Other (income) expense, net for the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 included a $7 million reduction of a DXC indemnification liability related to an income tax receivable. The corresponding income tax receivable was reduced by the same amount, resulting in a $7 million increase to income tax expense as discussed below. Other (income) expense, net for the two fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019 included a $7 million reduction of a DXC indemnification receivable related to a liability for uncertain tax positions. The corresponding tax reserves were reduced by the same amount, resulting in a $7 million reduction of income tax expense in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Other (income) expense, net for both the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 30, 2019 also included certain components of the net periodic pension cost for defined benefit pension plans, equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and other miscellaneous gains and losses.
Taxes
Income tax expense was $3 million and $9 million for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, respectively, as compared to $8 million and $19 million for the comparable period of the prior year. The ETR was approximately 16% and 41% for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, respectively, as compared to 22% and 24% for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019, respectively. For the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020, the primary drivers of our ETR were state income taxes, the reversal of an indemnified tax receivable in the first quarter and limitations on executive compensation deductions. For the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019, the primary drivers of our ETR were state income taxes, non-deductible transaction expenses, and the release of certain indemnified liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. (federal and state). Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, analyzing the income tax reserves and the determination of the likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets and adjustment of valuation allowances. In addition, the Company’s tax returns are routinely audited and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect the tax provisions. Potential liabilities or refunds resulting from these audits are covered by the TMA between Perspecta and DXC.
The TMA with DXC governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of DXC and the Company after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters and includes restrictions designed to preserve the tax-free status of the Distribution (as defined in the SDA). As a subsidiary of DXC, the Company had (and the Company continues to have following the Spin-Off) several liability to the IRS for the full amount of the consolidated U.S. federal income taxes of the DXC consolidated group relating to the taxable periods in which the Company was part of that group. However, the TMA specifies the portion, if any, of this tax liability for which the Company will bear responsibility. The Company agrees to indemnify DXC against any amounts for which the Company is responsible and DXC agrees to indemnify the Company against any amounts for which the Company is not responsible. The TMA also provides special rules for allocating tax liabilities in the event that the Spin-Off is not tax-free. The TMA provides for certain covenants that may restrict the ability of the Company to pursue strategic or other transactions that otherwise could maximize the value of the business and may discourage or delay a change of control. Pursuant to the TMA, the Company has agreed to indemnify DXC for any tax liabilities resulting from a breach of such covenants or certain other actions. Though valid as between the parties, the TMA will not be binding on the IRS.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We pursue a cash management and capital deployment strategy that balances funding our current operating needs with growing our business. Existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated by operations continue to be our primary sources of liquidity, as well as available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 10 – “Debt” to the financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020) and sales of receivables under a U.S. federal government obligor receivables purchase facility established pursuant to the Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (“MARPA Facility”) (as defined in Note 5 – “Receivables” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020).
Our primary cash needs are expected to be for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, the return of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments, and other discretionary investments, as well as to service our outstanding indebtedness, including borrowings under our Credit Facilities. Our ability to fund our future operating needs depends, in part, on our ability to continue to generate positive cash flows from operations and, if necessary, raise cash in the capital markets. Based upon our history of generating strong cash flows, it is our belief that we will be able to meet our short-term liquidity and cash needs, including debt servicing, through the combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances, available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and sales of receivables under our MARPA Facility. If these sources of liquidity need to be augmented, additional cash requirements would likely be financed through the issuance of debt or equity securities, although there can be no assurance that we will able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms (or at all) in the future.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to LIBOR. The Company has material contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and is continuing to monitor this activity and evaluate the related risks.
Our exposure to operational liquidity risk is primarily from long-term contracts which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance.
See Note 15 – “Commitments and Contingencies” to the financial statements for discussion of the general purpose of guarantees and commitments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows
As of October 2, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were $216 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased $69 million, as compared to $147 million at March 31, 2020, driven by cash flow generation through working capital management.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 was $296 million, as compared to $320 million during the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease of $24 million was impacted by a $32 million decrease in net income adjusted for noncash items, driven by lost revenue of approximately $41 million from the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above, partially offset by $8 million of favorable movements in working capital primarily due to timing associated with accounts receivable and the deferral of payment of the employer portion of payroll tax afforded under the CARES Act.
Net cash used in investing activities during the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 was $70 million, as compared to $272 million during the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of DHPC compared to the larger acquisition of Knight Point in the prior year period, as discussed in Note 3 – “Acquisitions” to the financial statements.
Net cash used in financing activities during the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 was $192 million, as compared to $0 million during the comparable period of the prior year. In the comparable period of the prior year, $175 million was drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility to partially finance the acquisition of Knight Point, which was fully offset by routine financing transactions, including lease payments, share repurchases and dividend payments. We repaid $50 million of our Revolving Credit Facility during the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020 and incurred routine financing transactions, including lease payments and dividend payments that were comparable to the prior year when combined. No common shares were repurchased under the Company’s share repurchase program during the two fiscal quarters ended October 2, 2020. At October 2, 2020, our $750 million Revolving Credit Facility remained unused.

The decrease in total debt as of October 2, 2020, as compared to total debt as of March 31, 2020, resulted primarily from the $50 million payment on the Revolving Credit Facility and permanent principal payments. At October 2, 2020, $750 million was available under our Revolving Credit Facility. We were in compliance with all financial covenants associated with our borrowings as of October 2, 2020. For more information on our debt, see Note 9 – “Debt” to the financial statements.

(1) Net debt and net debt-to-total capitalization are non-GAAP measures used by management to assess our ability to service our debts using only our cash and cash equivalents. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in analyzing our capital structure in a more comprehensive way compared to gross debt based ratios alone.
The net debt-to-total capitalization as of October 2, 2020 is consistent with March 31, 2020, driven by strong operating results while meeting scheduled debt obligations and returning value to shareholders.
Interest Rate Swaps
We use interest rate swaps to manage the amount of our floating rate debt in order to reduce our exposure to variable rate interest payments associated with our floating interest rate debt. The interest rate swaps effectively convert our floating interest rate debt into fixed interest rate debt. Each swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge. We pay a stream of fixed interest payments for the term of the swap, and in turn, receive variable interest payments based on one-month LIBOR. At October 2, 2020, the one-month LIBOR rate applicable to the swap agreements was 0.15%. The net receipt or payment from the interest rate swap agreements is included in the statements of operations as interest expense.
The following table summarizes our interest rate swaps at October 2, 2020:

Cash Dividends and Share Repurchase Programs
On May 21, 2020, the Company increased the quarterly cash dividend on its common stock by 17% to $0.07 per common share from $0.06 per common share. The payment of future quarterly dividends is subject to approval by the Board of Directors. Due to the uncertainty and volatility of the financial markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not repurchase any of our common shares during the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020. However, our liquidity and financial flexibility are strong, and share repurchases will continue to be a key part of our capital deployment strategy. See Note 13 – “Shareholders’ Equity” to the financial statements for a discussion, including the amounts, of the cash returned to shareholders. For additional discussion of our share repurchase program, see Part II, Item 2 “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements reported under Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those reported under Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates may change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions. We consider certain policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in implementing them, including policies related to: revenue recognition, acquisition accounting, valuation of goodwill and income taxes. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are more fully discussed in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Valuation of Goodwill
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter, and between annual tests if circumstances change, or if an event occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Factors which could necessitate an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, a sustained decline in our stock price, significant decreases in federal government appropriations or funding for our contracts, the loss of significant business or significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable but inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company engages a third-party valuation specialist to estimate the fair value of the reporting units using both an income approach and a market approach. The income approach incorporates the use of a discounted cash flow method in which the estimated future cash flows and terminal values for each reporting unit are discounted to a present value using a discount rate. Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of economic and market conditions, which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating income, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. The results of these approaches are used to corroborate the conclusion.
Based on the results of the annual assessment, we concluded that no impairment of goodwill existed at July 4, 2020. As noted above, a significant decrease in cash flows or a loss of a significant contract would negatively impact the estimated fair value of a reporting unit and could necessitate an interim impairment assessment of goodwill associated with that reporting unit.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As disclosed in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we actively monitor our exposures to potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices and manage such risks through our regular operating and financing activities or the use of derivative financial instruments. Our exposures to market and financial risk have not changed materially since March 31, 2020. See Note 7 – “Fair Value” and Note 8 – “Derivative Instruments” to the financial statements for additional discussion.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As described more fully in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in the area of revenue recognition that existed as of March 31, 2020. Management has taken the following steps to address the underlying causes of the material weakness and remediate the material weakness:
•A new enterprise resource planning system is being utilized throughout the revenue recognition process.
•The Company added additional personnel with U.S. GAAP revenue recognition knowledge and experience.
•Additional revenue recognition training was provided to responsible staff.
•New policies and procedures, including standardized templates, were implemented to govern the execution and review of certain calculations for revenue recognition purposes.
•The Company enhanced controls over the revenue recognition checklist process to include expanded documentation requirements supporting revenue recognition methodology conclusions, additional levels of review and approval for revenue recognition checklists, and new system reporting capabilities to eliminate the need for certain manual control activities.
Management has been testing the Company’s enhanced controls to determine whether they operate effectively over time. From this testing, management believes that the enhanced controls are operating effectively and the deficiencies that contributed to the material weakness have been remediated. Management will continue its evaluation of these controls through the end of the fiscal year, at which time our internal controls will be evaluated by Deloitte & Touche LLP in connection with their audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended October 2, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 15 – “Commitments and Contingencies” to the financial statements for information regarding legal proceedings in which we are involved.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On June 1, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized up to $400 million for future repurchases of outstanding shares of our common stock. Repurchases may be made at the Company’s discretion from time to time on the open market depending on market conditions. The repurchase program has no time limit, does not obligate the Company to make any repurchases and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. No share repurchases were made under the Company’s share repurchase program during the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2020. The total remaining authorization for future common stock repurchases under the share repurchase program was $275 million as of October 2, 2020.

references to particular Sections, Exhibits or Schedules are references to the Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, as the case may be, of this Agreement, (d) all accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, except as otherwise stated herein, (e) reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and legal assigns, (f) in the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” shall mean “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each shall mean “to but excluding”, and (g) reference to any agreement shall mean such agreement as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
Section 1.3. LIBOR. If at any time (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or the Required Purchasers notify the Administrative Agent that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR (including, without limitation, because ICE LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis) and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans or discount rates for the purchase of accounts receivable, or (iii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark discount rate for newly purchased accounts receivable in the United States market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent and the Seller Representative shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to be used in the calculation of the Discount Rate (the “Replacement Rate”) to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a discount rate for the purchase of accounts receivable in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate discount rate and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14.8, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of the Replacement Rate is provided to the Purchasers, a written notice from the Required Purchasers stating that such Required Purchasers object to such amendment. To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause, the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, the Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Purchasers).
SECTION 2.PURCHASE AND SALE; TERM.
Section 2.1. Purchase and Sale of Eligible Receivables.
(a) On the Original Closing Date, the Seller Representative submitted a Servicing Report to the Administrative Agent via the PrimeRevenue System, and simultaneously with the submission of such Servicing Report, each Seller was deemed to offer to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) was deemed to purchase from each such Seller, without any further action on the part of such Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of such Seller specified on such Servicing Report. On each Business Day following the Original Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, each Seller was deemed, or will be deemed, as applicable, to offer to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers), and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2, the Administrative Agent was deemed, or will be deemed, as applicable, to purchase from each such Seller, without any
further action on the part of such Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of such Seller that had not, or have not, as applicable, previously been acquired (except to the extent that it was acquired and was subsequently the subject of a Deemed Repurchase) in whole by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) hereunder as of such Business Day. The deemed offer by each Seller to sell, assign and transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of each such Seller that had not, or have not, as applicable, previously been acquired (except to the extent that it was acquired and was subsequently the subject of a Deemed Repurchase) in whole by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) hereunder is irrevocable and unconditional on the part of each such Seller and shall occur (without any further action by any such Seller) on each Business Day prior to the Termination Date.
(b) Subject to Section 2.2, on each Business Day prior to the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to sell in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to each Purchaser, and each such Purchaser shall be deemed to purchase from the Administrative Agent, without recourse, an undivided percentage ownership interest (each an “Asset Interest”) equal to the Pro Rata Share of such Purchaser in and to each Purchased Receivable deemed purchased by the Administrative Agent on such day in accordance with clause (a) above. The deemed offer by the Administrative Agent to sell and the deemed offer by each Purchaser to purchase such Asset Interests hereunder is irrevocable and unconditional on the part of the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser and shall occur (without any further action by any party) on each Business Day prior to the Termination Date.
Section 2.2. Deemed Repurchase by the Sellers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent does not, on or before 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on a given Settlement Date, receive from the Purchasers the full amount of the expected Payment Amount payable on such Settlement Date, then any positive Payment Amount for such Settlement Date will be reduced to $0 in accordance with the definition thereof, and without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or any Seller, the Net Face Value of Billed Receivables acquired by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) during the immediately preceding Settlement Period will automatically be deemed to be repurchased by the relevant Seller (a “Deemed Repurchase”); provided, that nothing in this Section 2.2 shall cause any Receivables subject to a Deemed Repurchase to be ineligible for future sale by such Seller to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) under Section 2.1.
Section 2.3. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price (the “Discounted Purchase Price”) for each Purchased Receivable purchased on any given Purchase Date will be calculated as follows:
DPP = NFV – Purchase Discount, in which “Purchase Discount” = NFV x DR x (DP / 360), in which:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
“DPP” equals
|
Discounted Purchase Price of such Receivable
|
“NFV” equals
|
Net Face Value of such Receivable as of such Purchase Date
|
“DR” equals
|
Discount Rate applicable to such Receivable
|
“DP” equals
|
Discount Period applicable to such Receivable
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to purchase a Receivable for an amount equal to such Receivable’s Net Face Value, as reduced by any amount (including any Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase
Discount) then due and payable by a Seller to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser hereunder (such amount, the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). In this event, an amount equal to the Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount for such Purchased Receivable will be payable by the Seller Representative on each Settlement Date and each Termination Settlement Date until such time as the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount or such Purchased Receivable has been paid in full. The Seller shall not be entitled to set-off its obligation to pay the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount (or any portion thereof) against the Refundable Discount Advance.
With respect to each Purchased Receivable, the Purchase Price thereof shall be payable by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the relevant Seller) by deposit into the Remittance Account on the Settlement Date immediately following the Settlement Period during which such Purchased Receivable was purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchase Price shall be subject to netting and set-off as provided for under Section 5.6.
Section 2.4. Maximum Funded Amount; Payment Amount; Termination Payment Amount. (a)
On each Settlement Date and Termination Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall (by reference to the Servicing Report received via the PrimeRevenue System by the Administrative Agent on the immediately preceding Reconciliation Date) determine the Maximum Funded Amount, the Payment Amount (in the case of a Settlement Date) or Termination Payment Amount (in the case of a Termination Settlement Date), as applicable, and shall notify the Seller Representative of the same.
(b) Following the determination of the Payment Amount, and in accordance with Section 5.7, on each Settlement Date (x) if the Payment Amount is positive, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) shall pay the full amount thereof to the Seller Representative, and upon payment of such amount, the Administrative Agent’s payment obligations with respect to the Purchased Receivables acquired during the Settlement Period ending immediately prior to such Settlement Date shall be satisfied in full and (y) if the Payment Amount is negative, the Seller Representative shall pay the full absolute value thereof to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. Furthermore, in connection with Sections 3.5 and 3.6, the Administration Fee and the Unused Fee payable by the Seller Representative on each Settlement Date shall be set-off against any positive Payment Amount payable by the Administrative Agent (and the surplus of the Administration Fee and Unused Fee, if any, after effecting such set-off shall be payable by the Seller Representative to the Administrative Agent), and the absolute value of any negative Payment Amount payable by the Seller Representative shall be combined with the Administration Fee and Unused Fee payable on such Settlement Date (such that both amounts will be paid simultaneously to the Administrative Agent).
(c) Following the determination of the Termination Payment Amount, and in accordance with Section 5.7, on each Termination Settlement Date until the Funded Amount has been reduced to zero and all other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers by the Sellers hereunder have been paid in full, the Seller Representative shall pay the full amount of the Termination Payment Amount to the Administrative Agent by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. Furthermore, in connection with Sections 3.5, the Administration Fee payable by the Seller Representative on each Termination Settlement Date shall be combined with the Termination Payment Amount payable on such Termination Settlement Date (such that both amounts will be paid simultaneously to the Administrative Agent).
Section 2.5. Seller Representative. Each Seller hereby appoints Enterprise as its agent, attorney-in-fact and representative (in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”), and Enterprise accepts such appointment, for the purpose of (i) making any requests required under this Agreement, (ii) the receipt of any notice of required repurchase pursuant to Section 11.2, (iii) the giving and receipt of any other notices to, or demand of, any Seller under this Agreement, (iv) the delivery of all documents, reports, financial statements and written materials required to be delivered by any Seller under this Agreement, (v) the receipt of all payments owing to a Seller hereunder, together with the subsequent allocation of such payment proceeds between the Sellers, (vi) taking any and all other actions required to be undertaken hereunder by the Seller Representative, and (vii) all other purposes incidental to any of the foregoing. Each Seller agrees that any action taken by the Seller Representative as the agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of each such Seller shall be binding upon it, as applicable, to the same extent as if directly taken by such Seller, as applicable.
Section 2.6. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(a) In addition, the Seller Representative may terminate or reduce permanently the Commitments of the Purchasers in its sole discretion at any time by delivering thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers; provided that, (i) if the Commitments are terminated in full, the Termination Date shall be the first (1st) Business Day following such thirty (30) day period, (ii) if the Commitments are reduced, such reduction shall be effective on the first Business Day following such thirty (30) day period, (iii) each reduction of Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 or in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iv) no reduction of the Commitment may cause the Aggregate Commitments to be less than the greater of $200,000,000 and the Funded Amount and (v) each reduction in the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. Once reduced or terminated, the Commitments may not be reinstated.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Facility Suspension Event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Purchasers, shall, terminate the Commitments of the Purchasers at any time by providing written notice of such termination to the Seller Representative (in which case the Termination Date shall be the day specified as such in the written notice, which may be the date upon which such written notice is received by the Seller Representative (or, in each case, if such date is not a Business Day, the Termination Date shall be the immediately following Business Day)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the occurrence of the Termination Date will have no effect on any rights or obligations hereunder in respect of any Purchased Receivables outstanding as of the Termination Date and all covenants, representations and warranties, repurchase obligations and indemnities made herein shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Purchased Receivables remain outstanding.
(c) Provided that no Facility Suspension Event has occurred and is continuing, the Sellers may from time to time advise the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) in writing of their desire to extend the Scheduled Termination Date for an additional six (6) month period; provided, that such request is made not more than two hundred and ten (210) days prior to, and not less than sixty (60) days prior to, the then current Scheduled Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly communicate such request to the Purchasers. The Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall notify the Sellers and the Administrative Agent in writing whether or not such Person is agreeable to such extension (it being understood that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not more than sixty (60) days after receiving the Seller’s request to extend the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, however, that if
the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser fails to so notify the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have declined such extension. In the event that the Administrative Agent and one or more Purchasers have so notified the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing that they are agreeable to such extension, the Seller Representative, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to effect such extension, and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Purchasers in connection therewith (including attorney costs) shall be paid by the Sellers. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby agreed that as of any day at no time shall the Scheduled Termination Date extend for more than one (1) year from such day.
Section 2.7. Effect of Termination Date.
(a) For the sake of clarity, the parties agree that, at all times on and following the Termination Date:
(i) Except to the extent otherwise removed in accordance with Section 5, each Seller shall continue to service and administer the Purchased Receivables sold by it as agent for the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, all on terms further set out in this Agreement.
(ii) The Seller Representative shall continue to pay the Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount on each Termination Settlement Date until the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount has been paid in full to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. The Refundable Discount Advance will be promptly repaid by the Administrative Agent to the Seller Representative upon payment in full by the Seller Representative of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount in accordance with Section 2.8.
Section 2.8. Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount; Refundable Discount Advance.
(a) The Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount shall be payable in full by the Seller Representative on the Final Maturity Date; provided, however, that following the occurrence of the Termination Date, if a Seller’s appointment as servicer hereunder is terminated by the Administrative Agent as the result of a Facility Suspension Event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Purchasers, shall, by written notice to the Seller Representative, demand payment in full of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount. In any such case, the Seller Representative shall pay the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) on the date designated for such payment in the written notice from the Administrative Agent (which date must be at least one (1) Business Day following the date upon with such written notice is received by the Seller Representative) by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. The parties hereto agree that the Seller Representative’s obligation to pay the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount is not credit recourse for any failure of an Approved Obligor to pay the full outstanding balance of any Purchased Receivable, but rather is an obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers for electing not to deduct the Purchase Discount from the Purchase Price with respect to the applicable Purchased Receivables for the purpose of administrative convenience.
(b) On the Closing Date, the Seller Representative will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a refundable purchase discount advance (the “Refundable Discount Advance”) equal to 0.4% of the Aggregate Commitments. For administrative convenience it is agreed
and the Sellers hereby instruct the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers to withhold the entire Refundable Discount Advance from the initial purchase of Receivables hereunder and to transfer such amount to the Refundable Discount Advance Account as described below. The Refundable Discount Advance shall be held in a blocked account established with the Administrative Agent and maintained in the name of the Seller Representative (the “Refundable Discount Advance Account”). The Refundable Discount Advance Account shall at all times be blocked with respect to the Seller Representative, such that only the Administrative Agent will be permitted to transfer funds out of the Refundable Discount Advance Account. Subject to repayment in full of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount, the Administrative Agent will promptly repay the Refundable Discount Advance to the Seller Representative by deposit into the Remittance Account; provided, however, that if the Seller Representative has not paid the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount in full as of the Final Maturity Date (or any such earlier date as required by Section 2.8(a)), the Administrative Agent may set-off the Refundable Discount Advance against the unpaid balance of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount, and upon doing so, the Administrative Agent will promptly repay the excess Refundable Discount Advance (if any) to the Seller Representative by deposit into the Remittance Account. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, to the extent there remains any deficiency in the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount after any such set-off and application, such deficiency shall remain the obligation of the Sellers.
Section 2.9. Eligible Unbilled Receivables. The Seller Representative shall procure that each Eligible Unbilled Receivable sold, transferred and assigned to the Administrative Agent hereunder will be the subject of an Invoice as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the Seller Representative’s receipt of a written request to issue such Invoice from the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if any Approved Obligor becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, the Seller Representative shall promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) issue an Invoice for each Purchased Receivable that is an Eligible Unbilled Receivable payable by such Approved Obligor, and shall provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of each such Invoice. In the event of the occurrence of the Termination Date or a revocation of the Purchasers’ approval of any Approved Obligor pursuant to Section 14.21, the Administrative Agent shall have the option to (i) retain ownership of any Eligible Unbilled Receivable and/or (ii) at any time following such termination or revocation, but solely to the extent that an Approved Obligor Termination Event has not occurred with respect to the Approved Obligor of the applicable Eligible Unbilled Receivable, cause the applicable Seller to repurchase such Eligible Unbilled Receivable from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11. The Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Seller Representative following any such termination or revocation of its decision to either retain ownership or cause a Repurchase Event with respect to any such Eligible Unbilled Receivable. In the event that the Administrative Agent elects to retain ownership of any Eligible Unbilled Receivable after the Termination Date or the revocation of the Purchasers’ approval of any Approved Obligor pursuant to Section 14.22, the Seller Representative shall promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) issue an Invoice for any such retained Eligible Unbilled Receivable. Upon issuance by the relevant Seller of an Invoice for a Purchased Receivable that is an Eligible Unbilled Receivable, such Purchased Receivable shall immediately become a Billed Receivable for purposes hereof (the date upon which such Purchased Receivable becomes a Billed Receivable, the “Conversion Date”).
Section 2.10. Increase in Aggregate Commitments.
(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Facility Suspension Event, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Purchasers), the Seller Representative may
from time to time request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $100,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, (ii) the Seller Representative may make a maximum of four (4) such requests. At the time of sending such notice, the Seller Representative (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Purchaser is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Purchasers).
(b) Purchaser Elections To Increase. Each Purchaser shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any Purchaser not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.
(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Purchasers. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Sellers and each Purchaser of the Purchasers’ responses to each request made hereunder. To the extent that the existing Purchasers do not agree to the full amount of a requested increase, in order to achieve the full amount of such requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Seller Representative may also invite additional financial institutions (each, a “New Purchaser”) to become Purchasers pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; provided that the Commitment of each New Purchaser shall be at least $50,000,000.
(d) Increase Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Sellers shall determine the final allocation of such increase and the effective date thereof (the “Increase Effective Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Sellers and the Purchasers of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date and the Purchasers shall receive at least two (2) Business Days’ notice thereof. The Asset Interests of the Purchasers shall be reallocated among all Purchasers (including the New Purchasers) such that the Asset Interests of each Purchaser on the Increase Effective Date shall be consistent with such Purchaser’s new Pro Rata Share on such date. In order to achieve such reallocation, certain Purchasers will be required, and hereby agree, to purchase a portion of the Asset Interests from the other Purchasers in exchange for cash on the Increase Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall coordinate such reallocation among the Purchasers and its determination shall be final absent manifest error.
(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to each increase in the Aggregate Commitments, the Sellers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Purchaser) signed by the secretary or an assistant secretary of each Seller (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Sellers approving or consenting to such increase and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct as of such earlier date and (B) no Facility Suspension Event exists. As an additional a condition precedent to each increase in the Aggregate Commitments, the Sellers shall have deposited an amount equal to 0.4% of such increase in the Aggregate Commitments into the Refundable Discount Advance Account to serve as additional Refundable Discount Advance.
Section 2.11. Defaulting Purchaser Provisions.
(a) Replacement of Defaulting Purchaser. If any Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser, then (i) the Seller Representative, upon notice to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent upon notice to the Seller Representative, and the Purchasers, may require such Defaulting Purchaser to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 14.6), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.3, 12.1 or 14.1) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Purchase Documents to one or more permitted assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Purchaser, if such Purchaser accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Purchaser shall have received payment of an amount equal to its outstanding Asset Interests, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Purchase Documents, (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law and (iii) if such Purchaser is also acting as Administrative Agent, (A) such Purchaser shall have the right to immediately resign as Administrative Agent upon the effectiveness of such assignment and (B) the non-Defaulting Purchasers may in their discretion require that such Purchaser resign as Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Purchaser if such Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effect any assignment of such Defaulting Purchaser’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.11(a). Each Purchaser agrees that if the Seller Representative or the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Purchaser if such Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, such Defaulting Purchaser shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effect such assignment in accordance with Section 14.6. In the event that a Purchaser does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 14.6 on behalf of such Defaulting Purchaser and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 14.6.
(b) Defaulting Purchaser Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then, until such time as such Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law (i) such Defaulting Purchaser’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Purchase Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Purchasers and (ii) no Defaulting Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee pursuant to Section 3.6 for any period during which that Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser (and the Sellers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Purchaser).
(c) Defaulting Purchaser Cure. If the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Purchaser will take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary (which may include a requirement for such Purchaser to purchase certain Asset Interests from the other Purchasers in order to equalize all such Asset Interests in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares of the Purchasers as in effect immediately prior to any assignment that occurred as a result of such Purchaser becoming a Defaulting Purchaser), whereupon such Purchaser will cease to be a Defaulting Purchaser; provided that no adjustment will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Sellers while that Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change
hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Purchaser’s having been a Defaulting Purchaser.
Section 2.12. Joining Seller Sale Commencement Date.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Purchase Document, no Joining Seller shall sell to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) any Receivables pursuant to this Agreement until such time, if any, that each of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:
(i) such Joining Seller shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser an agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Joining Seller Commencement Notice”) at least ten (10) calendar days prior the proposed Joining Seller Sale Commencement Date (as defined below) and shall have provided such other information with respect to such Joining Seller as the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may reasonably request;
(ii) such Joining Seller Commencement Notice shall specify the date (such date, a “Joining Seller Sale Commencement Date”) that such Joining Seller shall commence selling Receivables to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) pursuant to this Agreement, which Joining Seller Sale Commencement Date shall be a Settlement Date;
(iii) such Joining Seller Sale Commencement Date shall be no later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date;
(iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received an executed Account Control Agreement with respect to each Existing Account with respect to such Joining Seller, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser in its sole discretion; and
(v) no Facility Suspension Event or event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a Facility Suspension Event, shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) On the Joining Seller Sale Commencement Date related to such Joining Seller, the Seller Representative shall submit a Servicing Report to the Administrative Agent via the PrimeRevenue System (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include Receivables of such Joining Seller), and simultaneously with the submission of such Servicing Report, such Joining Seller will be deemed to offer to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers), and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 and clause (a) above, and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) will be deemed to purchase from each such Joining Seller, without any further action on the part of such Joining Seller, all of such Joining Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of such Joining Seller specified on such Servicing Report.
SECTION 3.FEES; LATE PAYMENT AMOUNT.
Section 3.1. Late Payment Amount. In the event that any amount payable by any Seller hereunder or under any of the other Purchase Documents remains unpaid for any reason for five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent provides notice to the Seller Representative that such amounts are past due, the Administrative Agent shall charge (for its benefit or the benefit of the Purchasers, as applicable), and such Seller shall pay, an amount (the “Late Payment Amount”) equal to (x) such unpaid amount due
from such Seller to the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers during the period from (and including) the due date thereof to, but excluding the date payment is received by the Administrative Agent in full, times (y) a rate per annum equal to the Prime Commercial Rate, computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year, and for actual days elapsed. Late Payment Amounts shall be payable on demand and, if no prior demand is made, on the last Business Day of each calendar month.
Section 3.2. Payments Generally. All payments to be made under any Purchase Document or in respect of a Purchased Receivable shall be made in immediately available funds. Any amounts that would fall due for payment on a day other than a Business Day shall be payable on the succeeding Business Day, and interest calculations, if any, shall be adjusted accordingly for such later or earlier payment. All amounts payable by any Seller or the Seller Representative to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser pursuant to or in connection with any Purchase Document shall be paid in full, free and clear of all deductions, set-off or withholdings whatsoever except only as may be required by Law, and shall be paid on the date such amount is due no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) to the Administrative Agent’s Account. Any amount to be paid by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser to any Seller or the Seller Representative under any Purchase Document shall be paid to the Seller Representative by deposit into the Remittance Account, and shall be paid on the date such amount is due no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time).
Section 3.3. Breakage. Each Seller agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand against any loss or expense (including, but not limited to, any loss or expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred by a Purchaser in liquidating or employing deposits acquired or contracted for to effect or maintain its acquisition of its Asset Interest in Purchased Receivables or any part thereof, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the loss of any anticipated profits) which the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser has sustained or incurred as a consequence of (a) the non-fulfillment of any of the conditions precedent described in Section 8.2 or otherwise or (b) a repurchase of Purchased Receivables by the Seller; provided, that no Seller shall be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser pursuant to this provision if such loss or expense is caused by such Purchaser’s failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Payment Amount.
Section 3.4. Ratable Sharing. If any Purchaser shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any Purchased Receivable or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Purchaser receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount payable under any Purchased Receivable to such Purchaser greater than its Asset Interest would warrant as provided herein, then such Purchaser receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash) participations in the other Purchasers’ Asset Interests (not in excess of the applicable Purchase Price thereof), or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Purchasers ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount owing to them; provided: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the Purchase Price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by a Seller pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms hereof, or (B) any payment obtained by a Purchaser as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Purchased Receivables to any assignee or Participant including, without limitation, any assignments effectuated pursuant to Section 2.11(a). Each Seller consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Purchaser acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Seller rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchaser were a direct creditor of such Seller in the amount of such participation.
Section 3.5 Payment of Administration Fee. On each Settlement Date and each Termination Settlement Date, the Seller Representative shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an administration fee (the “Administration Fee”) in an amount provided for in the Administration Fee Letter.
Section 3.6. Unused Fee. On each Settlement Date, the Seller Representative shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Fee”) in an amount equal to:

SECTION 4.NATURE OF FACILITY.
Section 4.1. True Sale. The parties hereto agree that each purchase and sale of Receivables under this Agreement is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer constituting a “true sale” for bankruptcy law purposes, without recourse by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to any Seller for any credit risk or financial inability to pay of any Obligor. The parties hereto have structured the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale, and each party hereto agrees to treat each such transaction as a “true sale” for all purposes under applicable law and accounting principles, including, without limitation, in their respective books, records, computer files, Tax returns (federal, state and local), regulatory and governmental filings (and shall reflect such sale in their respective financial statements). Each Seller will advise all Persons inquiring about the ownership of the Receivables that all Purchased Receivables have been sold to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers. Against the possibility that, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, the purchase of any Receivable is not characterized as a sale by any applicable court, each Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) a security interest in, and right of setoff with respect to, all of the Purchased Receivables to secure the payment and performance of the Seller’s payment and performance obligations hereunder and under each other Purchase Document. The grant of this security interest is a supplemental protection to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers and is not meant to negate or affect in any way the intended sale of the Receivables by the Sellers to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers. In addition, each Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a security interest in, and right of setoff with respect to, all of the Seller Account Collateral related to such Seller and all proceeds thereof to secure the payment and performance of the Seller’s payment and performance obligations hereunder and under each other Purchase Document. Furthermore,
the Seller Representative hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) a security interest in, and right of setoff with respect to, the Refundable Discount Advance Account and all proceeds therein to secure the payment of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount by each Seller hereunder. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to file UCC financing statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, including the security interests granted herein, together with any continuations and amendments relating thereto.
Section 4.2. No Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller Representative and each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall be in any way responsible for the performance of any Contract and no such Person shall have any obligation to intervene in any Dispute arising out of the performance of any Contract. All obligations of a Seller as seller of the Goods and Services and provider of any related services, including, without limitation, all obligations of such Seller as seller under the Contracts, all representations and warranty obligations, all servicing obligations, all maintenance obligations, and all delivery, transport and insurance obligations, shall be retained by such Seller (the “Retained Obligations”). Any claim which a Seller may have against an Obligor or any other party, and/or the failure of an Obligor to fulfill its obligations under the applicable Contract, shall not affect the obligations of such Seller to perform its obligations and make payments hereunder, and shall not be used as a defense or as set-off, counterclaim or cross-complaint as against the performance or payment of any of its obligations.
Section 4.3. Further Assurances. Seller Representative and each Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence or implement the transactions contemplated hereby, or to enable the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights with respect to the Purchased Receivables, including, in the case of a Facility Suspension Event and/or a Non-Payment Event, any action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in order to make the sale, assignment and transfer of any Purchased Receivables compliant with FACA.
SECTION 5.SERVICER; PURCHASER FUNDING; DISTRIBUTION FROM THE COLLECTION ACCOUNT.
Section 5.1. Appointment of each Seller as a Servicer. Each Seller hereby agrees to service and administer the Purchased Receivables sold by it as agent for the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, all on the terms set out in this Agreement. Each Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect each Purchased Receivable sold by it as if such Purchased Receivable had not been purchased by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers. Each Seller agrees that such Seller shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent and shall take any and all commercially reasonable actions requested by the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, initiating appropriate legal proceedings and exercising all rights and remedies that may be available to the Seller under its commercial arrangements with the Approved Obligors, in each case, in connection with collecting and recovering all amounts owed by any Approved Obligor with respect to such Purchased Receivable. The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) agrees to pay the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by each Seller in connection with the performance by each such Seller of the actions requested by the Administrative Agent and specified in the immediately preceding sentence, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for any costs and/or expenses of any Seller with respect to (i) the preservation of any rights of, or the exercise of any rights by, the Administrative Agent under, or the enforcement (whether through legal proceedings or otherwise) of, this Agreement against any Seller and (ii) actions necessary for a Seller to perform its representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (it being understood that any such costs and expenses shall be for the account of the Sellers). Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller agrees to devote to the servicing of Purchased Receivables at least the same amount of time and attention, and to exercise at least the same level of skill, care and diligence in such servicing, as if each Seller were servicing Receivables legally and beneficially owned by it. Each Purchaser shall pay each Seller a Servicing Fee as consideration for the performance of such obligations as servicer under this Section 5.1 and this Agreement. On or before each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Seller Representative (on behalf of each Seller) and each Purchaser, a calculation for the servicing fee (the “Servicing Fee”) accrued for the related Settlement Period most recently ended. Such Servicing Fee shall be payable by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, on such Settlement Date as provided in Section 2.4. The Servicing Fee shall be calculated as follows:
Servicing Fee = TOA x Rate X y/360
Where:
|

“TOA” equals

Section 5.2. Servicing Covenants. Each Seller covenants and agrees, in connection with its servicing obligations pursuant to Section 5.1, (i) that the payment instructions currently in force and provided to each Approved Obligor specify that each such Approved Obligor shall pay all amounts owing under the Purchased Receivables to the applicable Existing Account, (ii) not to change such payment instructions while any Purchased Receivable remains outstanding without the Administrative Agent’s prior consent, (iii) that it shall keep accurate books and records with respect to each relevant Seller Account, clearly identifying the source of all amounts deposited and otherwise held therein, and (iv) to take any and all other commercially reasonable actions, including such commercially reasonable actions as may be requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time, to (a) recover and enforce payment of any defaulted Purchased Receivable and (b) ensure that all amounts owing under the Purchased Receivables be deposited by the Approved Obligors exclusively to the applicable Existing Account or as otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent. Each Seller further covenants and agrees (A) that at all times on or prior to the Final Collection Date, all Collections and other funds received into any Existing Account will be swept (on a same-day basis) in immediately available funds to the Collection Account; provided that any amounts credited to any Existing Account after 2:00 p.m. New York time on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the next following Business Day, (B) upon receipt into the Collection Account of any Collections and other funds swept from an Existing Account, such Seller shall identify and reconcile such funds with its books and records, (C) not to give instructions to any other Person to pay any amounts into the Collection Account and (D) to take any and all other commercially reasonable actions, including commercially reasonable actions as may be requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time, to ensure that all Collections will be transferred from the applicable Existing Account to the Collection Account within such one (1) Business Day period, and that amounts deposited in or otherwise standing to the credit of the Collection Account will be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7. Any payment by an Approved Obligor of any amount owing under any Purchased Receivable that is not paid to the applicable Seller Account and is received by the applicable Seller directly shall be held in trust by such Seller as the Purchasers’ exclusive property, such funds shall
be safeguarded for the benefit of the Purchasers, and such funds shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, be transferred by wire transfer to the Collection Account. No Seller shall, directly or indirectly, utilize such funds for its own purposes, nor shall any Seller have any right to pledge such funds as collateral for any obligations of any Seller or any other party. Collections shall not be deemed received by the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Agreement until credited to the Administrative Agent’s Account as immediately available funds or otherwise actually received by the Administrative Agent.
Section 5.3. Unidentified Collections on Receivables; Return of Collections.
(a) If any payment is received by a Seller from an Approved Obligor, and such payment is not identified by such Approved Obligor as relating to a particular Receivable or Purchased Receivable and cannot otherwise be reasonably identified as relating to a particular Receivable or Purchased Receivable, such Seller will first attempt to confer with the Approved Obligor to identify the Receivable(s) to which such payment should be applied. In the event such Seller is unable to identify within two (2) Business Days the Receivable(s) to which such payment should be applied, the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent will negotiate in good faith as to the allocation of such payment, and once the allocation of any such payment has been agreed by the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent, such allocated payment shall be considered to be relating to the particular Receivable or Purchased Receivable agreed upon by the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent. To the extent the preceding sentence results in collections received by a Seller being deemed Collections on a Purchased Receivable, such Seller shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, deposit such Collections into the Collection Account for application in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.
(b) If following the application of any funds in the Collection Account which is deemed to be Collections on a Purchased Receivable pursuant to this Section, such payment is identified by the applicable Seller to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent as being payment on a Receivable which is not a Purchased Receivable, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day of such identification, repay such amount to the applicable Seller, in immediately available funds, by deposit to the Remittance Account for the benefit of such Seller.
Section 5.4. Past Due Receivables. In the event a Purchased Receivable that is a Billed Receivable has not been paid in full by the date that is thirty (30) days after the Maturity Date therefor (an “Overdue Receivable”), the applicable Seller shall determine the cause of such payment delay or non-payment, including whether it is due to a Dispute, and the applicable Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser by no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following such thirty (30) day period, a certification and report (a “Non-Payment Report”) identifying the Overdue Receivable and the Approved Obligor thereof and describing in reasonable detail the cause of such non-payment, including whether a Dispute exists with respect to such Overdue Receivable, or certifying that such cause is unknown. In the event that a Purchased Receivable that was sold hereunder has not been paid in full by the date that is sixty (60) days after the Maturity Date therefor and no Non-Payment Report with respect thereto has been delivered or the Non-Payment Report delivered with respect thereto does not report a Dispute or states that the cause of such payment delay or non-payment is unknown (a “Non-Payment Event”), the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (a) contact such Approved Obligor by phone or in person to discuss the status of such Overdue Receivable and to inquire whether such payment delay or non-payment is due to a Dispute and when payment can be expected and/or (b) take any other lawful action to collect such Purchased Receivable directly from such Approved Obligor and/or (c) without limitation on any rights of the Administrative Agent under Section 4.3 and elsewhere in this
Agreement, require that the applicable Seller take any action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to make the sale, assignment and transfer of any Overdue Receivable compliant with FACA and/or (d) terminate the appointment of the applicable Seller as its servicer and agent solely for the purposes of servicing such Purchased Receivable. If the Approved Obligor advises the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers of the existence of a Dispute, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Seller of such Overdue Receivable that the Approved Obligor has asserted a Dispute.
Section 5.5. Termination of Appointment. Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Replacement Event, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, or shall at the election of the Required Purchasers (i) take any lawful action to collect any Purchased Receivable purchased from such Seller directly from the respective Approved Obligors, and/or (ii) terminate the appointment of such Seller as its servicer and agent for the servicing of the Purchased Receivables, and/or (iii) take any steps required to obtain or exercise exclusive control over any Seller Account related to such Seller (including the delivery of a “notice of exclusive control” (howsoever defined) to the relevant depository bank). In addition, (1) if any Approved Obligor becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, or shall at the election of the Required Purchasers (i) take any lawful action to collect any Purchased Receivable directly from such Approved Obligor, and/or (ii) terminate the applicable Seller as its servicer and agent solely for the purpose of servicing of the Purchased Receivables of such Approved Obligor and (2) upon the occurrence of a Non-Payment Event, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, or shall at the election of the Required Purchasers (i) take any lawful action to collect the relevant Purchased Receivables subject to such Non-Payment Event directly from such Approved Obligor, and/or (ii) terminate the applicable Seller as its servicer and agent solely for the purpose of servicing of the Purchased Receivables subject to such Non-Payment Event. In the event of any termination of any Seller as servicer with respect to any Purchased Receivable, (A) each Seller agrees to take action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to make the sale, assignment and transfer of the applicable Purchased Receivables compliant with FACA and to provide the Administrative Agent with all underlying documentation that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in order to enable the Administrative Agent to enforce the payment obligation of any Approved Obligor with respect to a Purchased Receivable, (B) the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, notify each applicable Approved Obligor of the transfers hereunder and direct each applicable Approved Obligor to make payments as the Administrative Agent may elect or desire, and (C) no Seller shall interfere with such servicing or collection of such Purchased Receivable or attempt to receive or make collection from any Approved Obligor in respect of such Purchased Receivable. In addition, each Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (coupled with an interest) authorizing and permitting the Administrative Agent, at its option, with or without notice to any Seller, to do any one of the following that are necessary, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect amounts due with respect to any Purchased Receivable and to otherwise direct any one or more Approved Obligors to make payment directly to an account of the Administrative Agent at any time following a Non-Payment Event or a Servicer Replacement Event: (I) endorsing the name of such Seller upon any check or other instrument, document or agreement with respect to any Purchased Receivable; (II) endorsing the name of such Seller on any freight or express bill or bill of lading relating to any Purchased Receivable; (III) deliver and execute any documents and provide any information, in each case, as may be required in order to make the sale, assignment and transfer of any Purchased Receivables compliant with FACA; (IV) take any lawful action to enforce and otherwise collect any Purchased Receivable directly from such Approved Obligor; and (V) taking all action as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in connection with the foregoing. Each Seller agrees that the Administrative Agent will not be liable for any acts of commission or omission or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or Law in connection with the exercise of such power of attorney except to the extent the same constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 5.6. Purchaser Funding Obligations.

(1) a copy of the most recent Servicing Report delivered to the Administrative Agent;
(2) such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of (x) the Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount and (y) the Funded Amount;

(4) the date of the next succeeding Settlement Date or Termination Settlement Date, as applicable.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Administrative Agent will rely on the payment by such Purchaser of its Pro Rata Share of the Payment Amount on each Settlement Date in order to satisfy its funding requirements to the Sellers.
Section 5.7. Distributions from the Collection Account.
(a) Collections in the Collection Account. On each Settlement Date, the Seller Representative or any applicable Seller shall apply Collections held in the Collection Account in accordance with the following procedure:
(i) if the Payment Amount is negative, the Seller Representative or the applicable Seller will pay the absolute value thereof, together with the amount of the Administration Fee and Unused Fee, to the Administrative Agent from Collections deposited in the Collection Account; if there are insufficient Collections in the Collection Account to pay the full amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, then after applying such Collections to the payment of the Payment Amount (and, to the extent of available funds, the Administration Fee and Unused Fee) any remaining shortfall shall be paid directly by the Seller Representative or the applicable Seller from its general funds by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. Upon payment in full of the Payment Amount and the Administration Fee and the Unused Fee, the Seller Representative or the applicable Seller shall be permitted to withdraw any and all Collections remaining in the Collection Account on such Settlement Date (other than any Collections that are transferred from an Existing Account to the Collection Account on such Settlement Date) for its own account; and
(ii) if the Payment Amount is positive, then the amount thereof will be payable by the Administrative Agent (on behalf the Purchasers) to the Seller Representative (for further distribution to the applicable Seller); furthermore, if the Payment Amount is positive the Seller Representative or any applicable Seller shall be permitted to withdraw any and all Collections in the Collection Account on such Settlement Date (other than any Collections that are transferred from an Existing Account to the Collection Account on such Settlement Date) for its own account.
(b) Application of Collections. On each Termination Settlement Date, the Seller Representative or any applicable Seller shall apply Collections held in the Collection Account in accordance with the following procedure: the Seller Representative or any applicable Seller will pay the Termination Payment Amount and the Administration Fee to the Administrative Agent from Collections in the Collection Account. If there are insufficient Collections in the Collection Account to pay the full amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, then after applying such Collections to the payment of the Termination Payment Amount (and, to the extent of available funds, the Administration Fee), any remaining shortfall shall be paid directly by the Seller Representative or the applicable Seller from its general funds by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. Upon payment in full of the Termination Payment Amount and the Administration Fee, the Seller Representative or the applicable Seller shall be permitted to withdraw any and all Collections remaining in the Collection Account on such Termination Settlement Date (other than any Collections that are transferred from an Existing Account to the Collection Account on such Termination Settlement Date).
(c) Delivery of Collections to Purchasers. The Administrative Agent will pay to each Purchaser, such Purchaser’s share of such Collections in accordance with such Purchaser’s Asset Interests. The Administrative Agent may, at its discretion from time to time, setoff from Collections payable to the Purchasers hereunder the full amount (or any partial amount available thereunder) of such Purchaser’s share of the Payment Amount due and payable hereunder from time to time and other applicable obligations due to the Administrative Agent from such Purchaser. The Administrative Agent shall hold all Collections received by the Administrative Agent in trust for the Purchasers until paid by the Administrative Agent to the Purchasers. Any amounts payable by the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.7(c) shall be paid on the same day that the corresponding amounts are received by the Administrative Agent into the Administrative Agent’s Account, provided that if such amounts are received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day, or if they are otherwise received on a day that is not a Business Day, then the corresponding amounts payable by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be paid on the next following Business Day.
(d) Seller Funds in the Collection Account. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, once any funds on deposit in the Collection Account have been reconciled with the books and records of the Sellers and determined to be Seller Funds, the Seller Representative or any applicable Seller shall within two (2) Business Days of such reconciliation, withdraw any and all such Seller Funds from the Collection Account (for further distribution to the applicable Seller).
(e) Adjustment of Certain Payments. If for any reason any payment received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any Collection is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent has already paid to a Purchaser its share of such payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser will, upon notice from the Administrative Agent, promptly pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Purchaser’s share of the amount so rescinded or returned, together with interest thereon at the overnight rate for Federal funds transactions between member banks of the Federal Reserve System, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York for each day from and including the making of the payment to such Purchaser, to but excluding the date of said payment to the Administrative Agent, plus its pro rata share of any penalty or similar such amount, if any, as is required to be paid by the Administrative Agent with respect to such rescinded or returned payment; provided that such Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay any portion of any penalty or similar such amount to the extent that such rescinded or returned payment resulted from the gross negligence or the willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts that are returned pursuant to this provision will continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of each Seller and the Purchased Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Purchase Document. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any information concerning a Seller or any of its Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is subject to an Insolvency Event, the Purchasers (excluding the Purchaser that is also the Administrative Agent at such time, if applicable) may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to each Seller and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent. Any resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall not become effective until a successor agent is appointed by the Purchasers (excluding the Purchaser that is also the Administrative Agent at such time, if applicable), but with the consent of each Seller (provided, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and has accepted such appointment. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring or removed, as applicable, Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed, as applicable, Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under

Without prejudice to the survival of any other provision hereof, the terms of this Section 14.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 14.2. Expenses. Each of the Sellers agree to pay promptly on demand (a) all actual and reasonable costs and expenses (including due diligence expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Purchase Documents (including this Agreement) and (ii) any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, in either case and without limitation, the reasonable fees,
expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent in connection therewith; and (b) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in enforcing any obligations of any of the Sellers under any Purchase Document or in collecting any payments due from any Seller hereunder or under the other Purchase Documents or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the purchase arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings. Without prejudice to the survival of any other provision hereof, the terms of this Section 14.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 14.3. Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser is hereby authorized by each Seller at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Seller or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of any Seller against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Seller to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser hereunder and under the other Purchase Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Purchase Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) any amounts payable hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant hereto and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured; provided that the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser may only exercise its right of setoff in this Section 14.3 if a Facility Suspension Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Seller.

All notices, requests and demands shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) when dispatched by email during the recipient’s normal business hours when the confirmation showing the completed transmission has been received, or (b) if mailed via a reputable international courier, when it has been left at the relevant address or five (5) Business Days after being delivered to such reputable international courier, in an envelope addressed to the applicable Person at that address and to the attention of the Person(s) set forth above. Each party to this Agreement shall promptly inform the other parties hereto of any changes in their respective addresses, email address specified herein.
Section 14.5. Certificates and Determinations. Any certification or determination by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser of a rate or amount under any Purchase Document shall be, absent manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.
Section 14.6. Assignments and Transfers.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Seller may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, and no Purchaser may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).
(b) Any Purchaser may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and its interest in Purchased Receivables); provided that:
(i) after such assignment no Purchaser has a Commitment of less than $50,000,000;
(ii) if such assignment is a partial assignment, it is an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Purchaser’s interest in Purchased Receivables or the Commitment assigned;
(iii) such assignment has been approved by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such assignment is to another Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof;
(iv) the parties to such assignment shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; and
(v) such assignee is not (A) a Seller or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof, (B) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person) or (C) an Ineligible Assignee or a Defaulting Purchaser.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement, and the assigning Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 14.1 and 14.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Purchaser of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Purchaser of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section.
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Sellers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the Commitments of each Purchaser, and each Purchaser’s interests in the Purchased Receivables pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Sellers, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Seller and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Any Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Seller or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or any Seller or any Seller’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or an Ineligible Assignee) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Purchaser’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or such Purchaser’s interests in Purchased Receivables); provided that (i) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Sellers, the Administrative Agent and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Purchaser shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 13.9 with respect to any payments made by such Purchaser to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Purchaser sells such a participation shall provide that such Purchaser shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Purchaser will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of the type described in the proviso to Section 14.8 without the consent of each Participant. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.3, 12.1 and 12.2 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 12.1 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.1 shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser)) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 12.1 or 12.2, with respect to any participation, than its participating Purchaser would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.3 as though it were a Purchaser; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.4 as though it were a Purchaser. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Sellers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and each Participant’s interest in the Purchased Receivables or other obligations under the Purchase Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Purchased Receivables or its other obligations under any Purchase Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Purchaser may assign or pledge a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank. No such assignment and/or pledge shall release any Purchaser from its obligations hereunder.
Section 14.7. No Waivers, Remedies Cumulative. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, any right or remedy under the Purchase Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
Section 14.8. Amendment. No waiver, alteration, modification, amendment or termination hereof or of any of the provisions hereof shall be binding unless made in writing and duly executed by each Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers; provided that no such waiver, alteration, modification, amendment or termination shall, without the consent of all Purchasers: (i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Purchaser, (ii) alter the definition of the term Pro Rata Share or Asset Interest, (iii) extend the maturity of any Purchased Receivable or reduce any fee payable by any Seller to the Purchasers, (iv) alter the definition of the term Required Purchasers or alter, amend or modify this Section 14.8, (v) alter the term Purchase Price or is component parts, (vi) release any Seller or other Person from its obligations under this Agreement or any other Purchase Document (including the Parent Guaranty), (vii) release the general security interest granted herein to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, in the Purchased Receivables (unless such release relates to a sale or other disposition of assets permitted under the terms of this Agreement) or (viii) release or terminate any Account Control Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent may amend, alter or modify any fee letter executed in connection with this Agreement without consent of the other Purchasers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Purchaser shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Purchaser or each affected Purchaser may be effected with the consent of the applicable Purchasers other than Defaulting Purchasers), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Purchaser may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Purchaser and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Purchasers or each affected Purchaser that by its terms affects any Defaulting Purchaser disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Purchasers shall require the consent of such Defaulting Purchaser.
Section 14.9. Accounting Treatment; Non-Reliance. Each Seller agrees and acknowledges that (i) it is a sophisticated party in relation to this Agreement; (ii) it has made its own independent decision to enter into the Agreement, the other Purchase Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and, in connection therewith, has obtained such independent accounting, legal, Tax, financial and other advice as it deems necessary and appropriate (including, without limitation, as to the appropriate treatment of such transactions for accounting, legal, Tax and other purposes) and (iii) it has not relied upon any representation or advice from the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser, any of their Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, counsel, advisors or other representatives in this regard.
Section 14.10. Third Party Rights. Other than as specifically provided in this Agreement, no Person not a party to this Agreement shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof, provided that each Participant is an intended third party beneficiary of, and entitled to rely on, Section 14.1.
Section 14.11. Counterparts. Each Purchase Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties thereto on separate counterparts; each such counterpart shall be deemed an original and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or electronic copy of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be effective as an original for all purposes.
Section 14.12. Entire Agreement. The Purchase Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto in relation to the transactions contemplated hereby, and supersede all previous proposals, agreements and other written and oral communications in relation thereto.
Section 14.13. Exclusion of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Seller shall assert, and each Seller hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser and their Affiliates, members of the board of directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Purchase Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any purchase or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Seller hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
Section 14.14. Invalidity. If at any time any provision of the Purchase Documents shall be adjudged by any court or other competent tribunal to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired, and the parties hereto will use their best efforts to revise the invalid provision so as to render it enforceable in accordance with the intention expressed in this Agreement.
Section 14.15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).
Section 14.16. Consent to Jurisdiction. Any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Purchase Document, shall be brought and maintained in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, New York or in the United States district court for the Southern District of New York; provided, any suit seeking enforcement against any Receivables or other property may be brought, at the Administrative Agent’s option, in the courts of any jurisdiction where such Receivables or other property may be found. Each Seller hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, New York and of the United States district court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any such litigation. Each Seller further irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the address specified in Section 14.4 or by personal service within or without the State of New York. Each Seller expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Section 14.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH SELLER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER PURCHASE DOCUMENT OR ANY APPLICATION, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, AMENDMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER PURCHASE DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
Section 14.18. USA PATRIOT Act. The Administrative Agent hereby notifies each Seller that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001), as amended from time to time (the “PATRIOT Act”), it and each Purchaser is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Seller, which information includes the name and address of each Seller and other information that will allow it and such Purchaser to identify each Seller in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
Section 14.19. Confidentiality. Each party hereto agrees to hold the Purchase Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby and all non-public information received by it in connection therewith from any other party hereto or its agents or representatives in confidence and agrees not to provide any Person with copies of this Agreement or such non-public information other than to (a) its Affiliates and any officers, directors, members, managers, employees or outside accountants, auditors or attorneys of such party or its Affiliates, (b) any prospective or actual assignee or Participant which (in each case) has signed a confidentiality agreement containing provisions substantively identical to this Section 14.19 or has agreed to be subject to the terms of this Section 14.19, (c) credit support providers if they agree to hold it confidential pursuant to customary commercial terms, (d) Governmental Authorities with appropriate jurisdiction (including filings required under securities Laws) and (e) appropriate filings under the UCC. Notwithstanding the above stated obligations, the parties hereto will not be liable for disclosure or use of such information which: (i) was required by Law, including pursuant to a valid subpoena or other legal process, (ii) is disclosed or used in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Purchase Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (iii) was in such Person’s possession or known to such Person prior to receipt or (iv) is or becomes known to the public through disclosure in a printed publication (without breach of any of such Person’s obligations hereunder).
Section 14.20. Additional Sellers. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Seller Representative may request that one or more of its Affiliates be added as an additional seller (each, an “Additional Seller”) under this Agreement. Any such request shall be made by the Seller Representative to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, and provided that the Additional Seller Conditions Precedent are satisfied (as determined by each Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion), the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Purchasers) shall approve any such request. In the event that any such request is approved, prior to becoming an Additional Seller such approved Affiliate must execute a Joinder Agreement and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers. Once an Affiliate has been added as an Additional Seller hereunder, such Additional Seller shall be a Seller hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement to “Seller” or “Sellers” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Seller.
Section 14.21. Termination of Approved Obligor. Following the occurrence of an Approved Obligor Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may, and shall, at the direction of the Required Purchasers, revoke its approval of the relevant Approved Obligor without providing any prior written notice to the Seller Representative or any other Person. Once the Administrative Agent has revoked its approval of an Approved Obligor, such Person shall immediately cease to be an Approved Obligor hereunder (except with respect to outstanding Purchased Receivables) and the Administrative Agent shall provide an updated copy of Schedule A to the Seller Representative reflecting the then-current Approved Obligors.
Section 14.22. Addition of Approved Obligor. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Seller Representative may request that one or more account debtors be added as an additional Approved Obligor under this Agreement. Any such request shall be made by the Seller Representative to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers and shall include a proposed Approved Obligor Buffer Period. The Purchasers shall, in their absolute discretion, determine whether or not to accept any such request. Once each Purchaser has provided written approval of a proposed Approved Obligor to the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent, such Person shall immediately become an Approved Obligor hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall provide an updated copy of Schedule A to the Seller Representative reflecting the then-current Approved Obligors.
Section 14.23. Optional Repurchase of Purchased Receivables. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, any Seller shall have the right after receiving notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.4, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to repurchase any outstanding Overdue Receivable arising from the failure of an Approved Obligor to pay the Overdue Receivable within sixty (60) days of its Maturity Date at a repurchase price equal to the fair market value of such Overdue Receivable, which fair market value shall be calculated in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that, under certain circumstances, the fair market value of any Overdue Receivable may be higher than its original Net Face Value).
Section 14.24. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the date hereof, the Original Agreement. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement, (i) the Seller Representative and each Seller shall continue to be liable to the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party (as such terms are defined in the Original Agreement) for fees, expenses and all other amounts and liabilities which are accrued and unpaid under the Original Agreement on the date hereof (collectively, the “Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts”) and all agreements to indemnify or otherwise for the benefit of such parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the date hereof and (ii) the security interest created under the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as security for such Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts until such Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts have been paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any Purchase Document or in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, until terminated by mutual consent of the parties thereto, the Suspension Letter shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement. The Parties may agree to execute additional side letters related to the suspension of sales of Receivables hereunder from time to time.

Schedule C To
Amended and Restated Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement
ELECTRONIC SERVICES SCHEDULE
This Electronic Services Schedule (the “Schedule”) is attached and made a part of the Agreement (as defined herein). In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms and conditions of this Schedule, the terms and conditions of this Schedule shall control. Capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.
Section 1.As used herein:
“Agreement” means the Amended and Restated Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2020 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among Perspecta Enterprise Services LLC (“Enterprise”) and any other seller from time to time party thereto (each, in such capacity, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), the PURCHASERS described therein and MUFG BANK, LTD. (“MUFG”), as administrative agent for the Purchasers (the “Administrative Agent”), including this Schedule, as such agreement may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms.
“Message” means all messages or other information sent or received by any Seller in connection with the Agreement using the Program web portal.
“PrimeRevenue” means PrimeRevenue, Inc., which is a Service Provider hereunder.
“Program web portal” means the system interface of the Service Provider to be used by MUFG and the Sellers so as to operate the Agreement or any updated or replacement system from time to time.
“Service Provider” means any person with whom an agreement has been entered into by MUFG and to whom the performance of certain obligations or exercise of certain rights in respect of the giving and receiving of Messages, and not in respect of any purchase of Receivables, is from time to time sub-contracted by MUFG.
Section 2.Service Provider
2.1. The parties to the Agreement agree that the Service Provider is and will be the service provider solely for MUFG and not the sub-contractor or agent of each Seller. Each Seller consents to MUFG outsourcing to the Service Provider the management of certain administrative functions under the Agreement, it being understood that only the rights and obligations issuing from this Schedule shall be outsourced.1
Section 3.Service Provider’s Systems and Platform
3.1. To operate the Agreement, each Seller and MUFG shall use the Program web portal, subject to Section 4.9 below.
3.2. Program related data will be updated and available for view access by the Sellers and MUFG on a day to day basis in the Program web portal.
1 Services with respect to Messages are only being offered as an accommodation and not as a requirement for any Seller’s use of the facility. As such, in the event the service provider cannot or does not perform, MUFG’s liability is limited to MUFG performing under MUFG’s obligations stated in the Agreement.
3.3. Each Seller will upload and download information pertaining to purchase requests from the Program web portal.
3.4. As of the date of this Schedule, the Service Provider means PrimeRevenue. MUFG may replace the Service Provider at any time or terminate this Schedule, and will give written notice thereof to the Sellers.
Section 4.Use of Service Provider’s Systems and Platform
4.1. Each Seller shall have the right to use the content of the Program web portal to print and use reports downloaded from the Program web portal, and to save reasonable copies to its hard drive, in each case solely for the purposes contemplated by the Agreement. Any copying, distribution, or commercial use of any of the content of the Program web portal not in furtherance of or related to the commercial purposes of the Agreement is strictly forbidden. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller is entitled to share any such content with its Affiliates and its and such Affiliates’ attorneys, accountants, and tax advisors, or any Governmental Authority.
4.2. Service Provider retains all right, title, and interest in and to its Program web portal, including all software and other intellectual property underlying the Program web portal and associated therewith, all derivative works thereof, and in all media, but specifically excluding any materials, intellectual property or information provided by the Sellers or MUFG (collectively, “Member Content”), all of which shall remain the property of the contributing party. Other than a royalty-free license to use the Program web portal during the term of this Schedule, nothing contained herein shall be construed as the grant of a license or other right by Service Provider to the Sellers of the Program web portal or any intellectual property underlying or associated with the Program web portal. Each Seller grants to Service Provider for the term of this Schedule C a royalty free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, display and modify such Seller’s Member Content for the purpose of allowing Service Provider to render the contracted-for services to MUFG.
4.3. All of the design, text, graphics and the selection and arrangement thereof included in the Program web portal are protected by the copyright laws of the United States and foreign countries. The Program web portal and all associated intellectual property rights are owned by Service Provider and its licensors. All rights not expressly granted to the Sellers are reserved to Service Provider and its licensors. Each Seller acknowledges that (a) the Program web portal incorporates confidential and proprietary information developed or acquired by Service Provider, including the software underlying the Program web portal; (b) it shall use such information solely for the purposes set forth herein; and (c) it shall not disclose any such information to third parties except to its Affiliates, and its and their employees, officers, legal counsel, financial advisors and auditors, so long as such parties are bound by written or fiduciary obligations no less stringent than those set forth herein, and such Seller remains primarily responsible for any unauthorized use or disclosure of the information by such third parties. This Section 4.3 shall survive the termination of this Schedule for a period of one (1) year.
4.4. Service Provider may access and use the non-public financial, transactional and other information that is processed under the Agreement or otherwise acquired by Service Provider in connection with the Program web portal (“Seller Data”) for the purposes of providing and operating the Program web portal. In addition, Service Provider may access and use Seller Data on an aggregate basis for the purpose of preparing statistical analyses, reports, and benchmarking statistics for Service Provider’s own use and for general marketing purposes related to trends and overall use of the Program web portal and related services; provided, however, that any public
marketing uses shall not individually identify any Seller or Seller Data. Each Seller represents that it has the right to permit Service Provider to use Seller Data as described in the Agreement and that such use will not violate any third person’s rights.
4.5. Each Seller acknowledges that Service Provider may transfer Seller Data to a third person, in connection with: (a) any assignment arising from the acquisition of all or substantially all of its assets or equity interests; or (b) a delegation of hosting or other duties, provided that such third party service provider agrees to abide by appropriate confidentiality obligations. Any such transferee shall only be permitted to use the data as contemplated by this Schedule.
4.6. The parties may disclose Seller Data if required by applicable law to any government body, or duly authorized representatives thereof, upon an audit or other inspection by any of the same of the records or facilities of Service Provider. The applicable Seller will be notified promptly upon receipt of any order (to the extent allowed by the terms of such order or applicable law) and upon the implementation of any change in laws which requires disclosure of Seller Data.
4.7. Each Seller hereby acknowledges that Service Provider reserves the right to: (a) terminate such Seller’s access to and use of the Program web portal if such Seller permits any unauthorized third person or entity to access and use the Program web portal; and (b) interrupt or disable access to and use of all or any part of the Program web portal if necessary to prevent or protect against fraud, hacking, or illegal conduct or otherwise protect Service Provider’s personnel or the Program web portal, in Service Provider’s sole discretion and without notice.
4.8. EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE MADE BY SERVICE PROVIDER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROGRAM WEB PORTAL, THE UNDERLYING SOFTWARE, OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY SERVICE PROVIDER, AND SUCH PROGRAM WEB PORTAL, SOFTWARE, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS, AND AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. SERVICE PROVIDER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY AND SPECIFICALLY DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR (A) THE COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY OR QUALITY OF INFORMATION OR ANY MEMBER CONTENT OBTAINED THROUGH THE PROGRAM WEB PORTAL, AND (B) SUCH SELLER’S USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM WEB PORTAL. THE USE OF THE PROGRAM WEB PORTAL, AND ANY MEMBER CONTENT OR INFORMATION OBTAINED VIA THE PROGRAM WEB PORTAL, IS AT EACH SELLER’S OWN RISK. SERVICE PROVIDER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY SELLER FOR ANY INDIRECT LOSS, INCLUDING LOSS OF TIME, MONEY OR GOODWILL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY OR CAUSE OF ACTION IN EACH CASE BASED ON SELLER’S, USE, INABILITY TO USE, OPERATE OR MODIFY THE PROGRAM WEB PORTAL. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, INDIRECT LOSS INCLUDES LOSS OF USE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOST GOODWILL EVEN IF THE PARTY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF SUCH DAMAGE. EXCEPT FOR SERVICE PROVIDER’S INTENTIONAL TORTIOUS ACTS, FRAUD, OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, SERVICE PROVIDER’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR PROVEN DIRECT DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF SELLER’S USE OF THE PROGRAM WEB PORTAL SHALL NOT EXCEED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS (USD$10,000.00).
4.9. MUFG has the obligation to view the Messages sent in accordance with this Schedule and to act upon them under the terms of the Agreement, and, during any unavailability of the Program web portal for the purposes hereof, or following the change of Service Provider, accept or receive purchase requests and other notices as otherwise provided in the Agreement.
Section 5.Security. Each Seller agrees that:
5.1. such Seller’s authorized employees may access the Program web portal using a unique user ID and password issued by Service Provider to such Seller’s administrative user or any user ID and password maintained by a Seller user. Such Seller and each authorized employee shall not allow any other individual to use such employee’s unique user ID and password to access the Program web portal. Such Seller and each authorized employee shall remain responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of the user IDs and passwords created for such Seller’s authorized employees;
5.2. it will not intentionally or knowingly interfere with, defeat, disrupt, circumvent or tamper with or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Program web portal or other information or instruction that is, by the terms of the Agreement to be transmitted through the Program web portal, or with the restrictions on use of functionality or access to information on any portion of the Program web portal, or attempt to do so; and
5.3. it will not intentionally or knowingly introduce into any portion of the Program web portal any device, software or routine, including but not limited to viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs and cancelbots or other data or code that harms, or may adversely affect, the operation of the Program web portal.
Section 6.Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Sellers. Each Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and with MUFG as follows:
6.1. Such Seller’s use of the Program web portal is solely to settle genuine and lawful commercial trade transactions, arising in the ordinary course of business, for the purchase or sale of goods (including Receivables as defined under the Agreement) and/or services by or to a Seller from or to MUFG or other third parties. Such Seller shall not use the Program web portal for investment or arbitrage functions or purposes, or for any money laundering purpose, or in contravention of any law or regulation, and any activity undertaken via the Program web portal shall not be used in furtherance of any of the foregoing.
6.2. Information provided by such Seller to MUFG or Service Provider from time to time in connection with this Schedule is and shall be true and accurate in all material respects at the time given.

MUFG shall have no duties or obligations under this Schedule to any person or entity other than the Sellers and, without limiting the foregoing, does not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust under this Schedule for, or with any other person or entity.
Section 8.Third Party Beneficiary Rights. Each Seller and MUFG agree that Service Provider is an intended third party beneficiary of, and entitled to rely on Sections 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 of this Schedule and Section 14.19 of the Agreement

Exhibit 10.2
PERSPECTA INC.
SEVERANCE PLAN FOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES
And Summary Plan Description
Effective June 19, 2019
This Severance Plan (the “Plan") shall become effective with respect to any particular Designated Employee (as defined below) as of the date a Senior Management and Key Employee Severance Agreement, incorporating all or any portion of the terms hereof, is executed between such Designated Employee and Perspecta Inc. (“Perspecta” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company"). This document is also intended to constitute the Summary Plan Description for the Plan.
The Plan is effective as of June 1, 2018. The Plan is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code") and the regulations and other Treasury Department guidance promulgated thereunder, and shall be interpreted accordingly.
1.Purpose
The principal purposes of the Plan are to (i) provide an incentive to the Designated Employees to remain in the employ of the Company, notwithstanding any uncertainty and job insecurity which may be created by an actual or prospective Change of Control, (ii) encourage the Designated Employee's full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any actual or prospective Change of Control, and (iii) provide an incentive for the Designated Employees to be objective concerning any potential Change of Control and to fully support any Change of Control transaction approved by the Board of Directors.
2.Definitions
Certain terms not otherwise defined in this Plan shall have the meanings set forth in this Section 2.
(a)Cause. For purposes of this Plan and any agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan only, “Cause” shall mean:
(i)fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement or other act of material misconduct against the Company or any of its affiliates;
(ii)conviction of a felony involving a crime of moral turpitude;
(iii)willful and knowing violation of any rules or regulations of any governmental or regulatory body material to the business of the Company; or
(iv)substantial and willful failure to render services in accordance with the terms of his or her employment (other than as a result of illness, accident or other physical or mental incapacity), provided that a demand for performance of services has been delivered to the Designated Employee in writing by or on behalf of the board of directors of the Employer at least 60 days prior to termination identifying the manner in which such board of directors believes that the Designated Employee has failed to perform and (B) the Designated Employee has thereafter failed to remedy such failure to perform.
(b)Change of Control. The term "Change of Control" means the consummation of a "change in ownership" of the Company, a "change in effective control" of the Company or a "change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets" of the Company, in each case, as defined under Section 409A. For avoidance of doubt, neither the spinoff of the Company from DXC Technology Company (“Spinoff”) nor the mergers of Vencore Holding Corp. (“Vencore”) and KGS Holding Corp. (“KGS”) with a subsidiary of the Company (the “Mergers”) shall constitute a Change of Control for purposes hereof.
(c)Compensation. “Compensation" shall mean the sum of:
(i)the Designated Employee's annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the date the Notice of Termination provided for in Section 3(c) of the Plan is given or in effect immediately prior to the date of the Change of Control, whichever is greater, and
(ii)the greater of (A) the average annual Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonus as defined below, for the Designated Employee, whether pursuant to a then existing plan of the Company or otherwise, (x) over the three most recent fiscal years preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs for which a Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonus was paid or deferred or for which the amount of Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonus, if any, was finally determined; or (y) for a Designated Employee employed by the Company for less than the three fiscal years to which reference is made in (i), over the most recent complete fiscal year or years prior to the Date of Termination during which such Designated Employee was employed and for which a Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonus was paid or for which the amount of Short- Term Incentive Compensation Bonus, if any, was finally determined; or (z) for a Designated Employee employed by the Company for less than a single complete fiscal year prior to the year
in which the Date of Termination occurs, the average annual cash Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonus shall be based on the target annual bonus for the fiscal year during which the Date of Termination occurs or (B) the Designated Employee’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year during which the Date of Termination occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonuses determined after the Change of Control are not taken into account in determining the average annual Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonus for the Designated Employee unless the inclusion of all such bonuses increases the average, in which case all such bonuses are taken into account. For purposes hereof, continuous employment with DXC Technology Company (“DXC”), Vencore or KGS prior to the Spinoff and Mergers shall be deemed employment with the Company.
(d)Designated Employees. "Designated Employees" shall refer to those employees of Perspecta and its subsidiaries (the entity directly employing a Designated Employee shall be referred to herein, with respect to such Designated Employee, as the "Employer") who are parties to agreements with Perspecta substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (with such changes as may be approved by the Board of Directors or the Human Resources and Compensation Committee or other duly authorized committee thereof), incorporating the terms and provisions of this Plan (a “Participation Agreement”). Each such agreement shall indicate whether the particular Designated Employee is in Group A or Group B, or such other Group as may hereafter be duly defined by amendment of this Plan.
(e)Good Reason. A Designated Employee's termination of employment with the Company shall be deemed for "Good Reason" if it occurs within six months of any of the following without the Designated Employee's express written consent:
(i)A substantial change in the nature, or diminution in the status, of the Designated Employee's duties or position from those in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control;
(ii)A reduction by the Company in the Designated Employee's annual base salary as in effect on the date of a Change of Control or as in effect thereafter if such compensation has been increased and such increase was approved prior to the Change of Control;
(iii)A reduction by the Company in the overall value of benefits provided to the Designated Employee, as in effect on the date of a Change of Control or as in effect thereafter if such benefits have been increased and such increase was approved prior to the Change of Control. As used herein, "benefits" shall include all profit sharing,
retirement, pension, health, medical, dental, disability, insurance, automobile, and similar benefits;
(iv)A failure to continue in effect any stock option or other equity-based or non-equity based incentive compensation plan in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control, or a reduction in the Designated Employee's participation in any such plan, unless the Designated Employee is afforded the opportunity to participate in an alternative incentive compensation plan of reasonably equivalent value;
(v)A failure to provide the Designated Employee the same number of paid vacation days per year available to him or her prior to the Change of Control, or any material reduction or the elimination of any material benefit or perquisite enjoyed by the Designated Employee immediately prior to the Change of Control;
(vi)Relocation of the Designated Employee's principal place of employment to any place more than 35 miles from the Designated Employee's previous principal place of employment;
(vii)Any material breach by the Company of any provision of the Plan or of any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan or any stock option or restricted stock agreement;
(viii)Conduct by the Company, against the Designated Employee's volition, that would cause the Designated Employee to commit fraudulent acts or would expose the Designated Employee to criminal liability; or
(ix)Any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of the Plan or any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan by any successor or assign of the Company;
provided that for purposes of clauses (ii) through (v) above, "Good Reason” shall not exist (A) if the aggregate value of all salary, benefits, incentive compensation arrangements, perquisites and other compensation is reasonably equivalent to the aggregate value of salary, benefits, incentive compensation arrangements, perquisites and other compensation as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control, or as in effect thereafter if the aggregate value of such items has been increased and such increase was approved prior to the Change of Control, or (B) if the reduction in aggregate value is due to reduced performance by the Company, the business unit of the Company for which the Designated Employee is responsible, or the Designated Employee, in each case applying standards reasonably equivalent to those utilized by the Company prior to the Change of Control.
A Designated Employee claiming Good Reason for termination of employment must give written notice to the Company of his intention to terminate his
employment for Good Reason, which notice shall (i) state in detail the particular circumstances that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Good Reason is based and (ii) be given no later than 90 days after the first occurrence of such circumstances. The Company shall have 30 days after receiving such notice in which to cure such grounds. If the Company fails to cure such grounds within such 30-day period, such Designated Employee's employment with the Company shall thereupon terminate for Good Reason.
(f)Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonus. For purposes of this Plan, a Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonus shall mean a lump sum cash amount or other form of payment, including restricted stock, restricted stock units and other payment in kind, whether contingent or fixed, and whether or not deferred, determined on an annual basis under the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan or such successor plan or plans as shall be in effect for the whole or partial fiscal year or years applicable under Section 2(a) of this Plan. A restricted stock or restricted stock unit award granted in lieu of a cash bonus shall be deemed to have the same value as such cash bonus. For purposes hereof, Short-Term Incentive Compensation Bonus shall include, if applicable, any annual cash bonus paid to a Designated Employee under an annual cash bonus plan sponsored or maintained by DXC, Vencore or KGS prior to the Spinoff and Mergers.
3.Termination Following Change of Control
(a)Termination of Employment.
(i)In the event a Designated Employee in Group A or Group B, following the date of a Change of Control, either (A) has a voluntary employment termination for Good Reason within twenty-four (24) full calendar months following such Change of Control, or (B) has an involuntary employment termination for any reason other than for Cause within thirty-six full calendar months following such Change of Control, such Designated Employee shall be entitled to receive following such employment termination such payments and benefits hereunder as such Designated Employee shall be entitled to receive upon such employment termination in accordance with Sections 2(d) and 4 of this Plan.
(ii)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no payments shall be made under or measured by this Plan in the event that the Designated Employee's employment is terminated by his Disability or by his death or for Cause.
(b)Disability. If, as a result of the Designated Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, accident or other incapacity (as determined by the
board of directors of the applicable Employer in good faith, after consideration of such medical opinion and advice as may be available to such board from medical doctors selected by the Designated Employee or by such board or both separately or jointly), the Designated Employee shall have been absent from his duties with the Employer on a full-time basis for six consecutive months and, within 30 days after written Notice of Termination thereafter given by the Employer, the Designated Employee shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Designated Employee's duties, the Employer may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, terminate the Designated Employee's employment for "Disability".
(c)Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of the Designated Employee's employment by the Designated Employee's Employer or the Designated Employee hereunder shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party in accordance with the terms of the agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan. For purposes of the Plan and any agreement entered into pursuant hereto, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which shall indicate those specific termination provis ions in the Plan applicable to the termination and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for application of the provisions so indicated.
(d)Date ofTermination. "Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if the Designated Employee is terminated by the Employer for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given to the Designated Employee (provided that the Designated Employee shall not have returned to the performance of the Designated Employee's duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30) day period) or (ii) if the Designated Employee's employment is terminated by the Employer for any other reason or by the Designated Employee, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given.
4.Severance Compensation upon Termination of Employment
If the employment with the Company of a Designated Employee in Group A or Group B shall be terminated following a Change of Control as set forth in Section 3 of the Plan, then Perspecta shall cause each Employer to pay and provide as follows to such Designated Employee:
(a)For a Designated Employee in Group A or Group B, upon voluntary termination for Good Reason within twenty-four (24) full calendar months following a Change of Control, or upon involuntary employment termination for any reason other than for Cause within thirty-six (36) full calendar months following such Change of Control, the Employer shall:
(i)Pay to the Designated ꞏEmployee as severance pay in a
lump sum in cash on the tenth business day following the Date of Termination, an amount equal to the multiple specified on Exhibit B and made applicable to such Designated Employee by this Plan and such Designated Employee's agreement hereunder, multiplied by the Designated Employee's Compensation; and
(ii)Provide the Designated Employee, for the number of years calculated for such Designated Employee pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) of this Plan (or such shorter period as the Designated Employee may elect) with disability, health, life and accidental death and dismemberment benefits substantially similar to those benefits which the Designated Employee is receiving immediately prior to the Change of Control or, if greater, immediately prior to the Notice of Termination (followed by the period of COBRA continuation if COBRA benefits are elected by the Designated Employee at such Designated Employee's expense). Benefits otherwise receivable by the Designated Employee pursuant to this Section 4(a)(ii) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by the Designated Employee during such period as the result of his or her employment with another person.
5.Tax Matters
The Designated Employee will be liable for and will pay all Designated Employee’s tax liability by virtue of any payments made to the Designated Employee under the Plan or otherwise. The Designated Employee shall not be entitled to any parachute tax gross- up payment. Accordingly, notwithstanding any contrary provisions in any other plan, program or policy of Perspecta, if all or any portion of the benefits payable under the Plan, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Designated Employee receives or is entitled to receive from Perspecta or any other source, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of Code, Perspecta shall reduce the Designated Employee’s payments and benefits payable under the Plan to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit after such reduction shall exceed the net after-tax benefit if such reduction were not made. The parachute payments shall be reduced in a manner that provides to the Designated Employee the greatest economic benefit and to the extent the reduction of any two or more parachute payments would produce an economically equivalent benefit to the Designated Employee, each shall be reduced pro rata.
“Net after-tax benefit if such reduction were not made” for these purposes shall mean the sum of (i) the total amount payable to the Designated Employee under the Plan, plus (ii) all other payments and benefits which the Designated Employee receives or is then entitled to receive from Perspecta or otherwise that, alone or in combination with the payments and benefits payable under the Plan, would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (iii) the amount of federal income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the maximum
marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to the Designated Employee (based upon the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code at the time of the payment under the Plan), less (iv) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described in (i) and (ii) above by Section 4999 of the Code.
“Net after-tax benefit after such reduction” for these purposes shall mean the sum of (i) (A) the total amount payable to the Designated Employee under the Plan, plus (B) all other payments and benefits which the Designated Employee receives or is then entitled to receive from Perspecta or otherwise that, alone or in combination with the payments and benefits payable under the Plan, would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, in the case of each of (A) and (B) as reduced by the minimum amount such that none of the payments or benefits described in (A) or (B) would be subject to excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, less (ii) the amount of federal income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to the Designated Employee (based upon the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code at the time of the payment under the Plan).
The effect of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, “net after tax benefit if such reduction were not made", “net after tax benefit after such reduction,” greatest economic benefit, economically equivalent benefit and other factors applicable in the determinations to be made under this Section, shall be determined by the Accountants.
For the purposes of this Section 5, the "Accountants" shall mean Perspecta’s independent certified public accountants serving immediately prior to the Change of Control. In the event that such Accountants decline to serve as the Accountants for purposes of this Section 5 or are serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Designated Employee shall appoint another nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accountants hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accountants in connection with matters relating to this Section 5 shall be paid by Perspecta.
6.Dispute Resolution: Claims Procedure
(a)Claims Procedure.
(i)Benefits will be provided to each Designated Employee as specified in this Plan. If a Designated Employee believes that he has not been provided with benefits due under the Plan, then the Designated Employee (who is hereafter referred to as the "Claimant") has the right to make a written claim for benefits under the Plan. Written claims for severance pay benefits shall be governed by the following procedures;
any written claims for health or welfare benefits shall be governed by the claims procedures of the applicable health or welfare plan. If such a written claim is made, and the Administrator wholly or partially denies the claim, the Administrator shall provide the Claimant with written notice of such denial, setting forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant:
(A) the specific reason or reasons for such denial;
(B) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;
(C) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and
(D) an explanation of the Plan's claims review procedure and time limits applicable to those procedures, including a statement of the Claimant's right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) if the claim is denied on appeal.
(ii)The written notice of any claim denial pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) shall be given not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the claim by the Administrator, unless the Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, in which event:
(A) written notice of the extension shall be given by the Administrator to the Claimant prior to thirty (30) days after receipt of the claim;
(B) the extension shall not exceed a period of thirty (30) days from the end of the initial thirty (30) day period for giving notice of a claim denial; and
(C) the extension notice shall indicate (1) the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and (2) the date by which the Administrator expects to render the benefit determination.
(iii)The decision of the Administrator shall be final unless the Claimant, within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice of the claims denial from the Administrator, submits a written request to the Board of Directors of Perspecta, or its delegate, for an appeal of the denial. During that sixty
(60) day period, the Claimant shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. The Claimant
shall be provided the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits as part of the Claimant's appeal. The Claimant may act in these matters individually, or through his or her authorized representative.
(iv)After receiving the written appeal, if the Board of Directors of Perspecta, or its delegate, shall issue a written decision notifying the Claimant of its decision on review, not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the written appeal, unless the Board of Directors of Perspecta or its delegate determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for reviewing the appeal, in which event:
(A) written notice of the extension shall be given by the Board of Directors of Perspecta or its delegate prior to thirty (30) days after receipt of the written appeal;
(B) the extension shall not exceed a period of thirty (30) days from the end of the initial thirty (30) day review period; and
(C) the extension notice shall indicate (1) the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and (2) the date by which the Board of Directors of Perspecta or its delegate expects to render the appeal decision.
The period of time within which a benefit determination on review is required to be made shall begin at the time an appeal is received by the Board of Directors of Perspecta or its delegate, without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a benefit determination on review accompanies the filing of the appeal. If the period of time for reviewing the appeal is extended as permitted above, due to a claimant's failure to submit information necessary to decide the claim on appeal, then the period for making the benefit determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information.
(v)In conducting the review on appeal, the Board of Directors of Perspecta or its delegate shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. If the Board of Directors of Perspecta or its delegate upholds the denial, the written notice of decision from the Board of Directors of Perspecta or its delegate shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant:
(A) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;
(B) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;
(C) a statement that the Claimant is entitled to be receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits; and
(D) a statement of the Claimant's right to bring a civil action under ERISA 502(a).
(vi)If the Plan or any of its representatives fail to follow any of the above claims procedures, the Claimant shall be deemed to have duly exhausted the administrative remedies available under the plan and shall be entitled to pursue any available remedies under ERISA Section 502(a), including but not limited to the filing of an action for immediate declaratory relief regarding benefits due under the Plan.
(vii)If the Board of Directors of Perspecta or its delegate upholds the denial on review of a severance pay claim, or if a health or welfare benefit claim is denied on review under the applicable health or welfare plan and/or the administrative remedies thereunder have been exhausted, then the Claimant shall have the right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a).
7.Mitigation of Damages; Effect of Plan
(a)The Designated Employee shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under the Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under the Plan, including without limitation Section 4 of the Plan, be reduced by any compensation earned by the Designated Employee as a result of employment by another employer or by retirement benefits after the Date of Termination, or otherwise except as expressly provided herein.
(b)Except as provided in Section 9, the provisions of the Plan, and any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Designated Employee's existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a result of the passage of time, under any benefit plan, employment agreement or other contract, plan or arrangement.
8.Term; Amendments; No Effect on Employment Prior To Change Of Control
(a)This Plan shall have an initial term of two years, which shall be automatically extended by one year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of adoption of this Plan and on each anniversary thereafter. This Plan with respect to all Designated Employees or any particular Designated Employee may be terminated or amended by the Board of Directors of Perspecta or by its Human Resources and Compensation Committee or any other duly authorized Committee thereof; provided that a termination or any amendment that reduces the benefits to the Designated Employee provided hereunder or otherwise adversely affects the rights of the Designated Employee, without the Designated Employee's prior written consent: (i) may only be approved after the completion of the initial two year term and prior to a Change of Control, and (ii) may not be effected prior to the provision of 24 months' advance notice thereof to the Designated Employee. Termination or amendment of this Plan shall not affect any obligation of Perspecta under this Plan which has accrued and is unpaid as of the effective date of the termination or amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Perspecta may change the definition of "Change of Control" as provided in Section 2(b), above, subject to the limitations therein stated.
(b)Notwithstanding anything herein or in any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan to the contrary, the Board of Directors of Perspecta or the Human Resources and Compensation Committee thereof may amend the Plan (which amendment shall be effective upon its adoption or at such other time designated by the Board of Directors or Human Resources and Compensation Committee, as applicable) at any time prior to a Change in Control as may be necessary, upon the advice of Perspecta’s counsel, to avoid the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code; provided, however, that any such amendment shall be implemented in such a manner as to preserve, to the greatest extent possible, the terms and conditions of the Plan as in existence immediately prior to any such amendment.
(c)Nothing in this Plan or any agreement entered into pursuant to this Plan shall confer upon the Designated Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company prior to (or, subject to the terms of this Plan, following) a Change of Control or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Employer, which are hereby expressly reserved except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Designated Employee and the Employer, to discharge the Designated Employee at any time prior to (or, subject to the terms of the Plan, following) the date of a Change of Control for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. The Designated Employee and Perspecta, on behalf of each Employer, acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Designated Employee and such Employer, the employment of the Designated Employee by the Employer is 11at will," and if,
prior to a Change Of Control, the Designated Employee's employment with the Employer terminates for any reason or for no reason, then the Designated Employee shall have no further rights under this Plan.
(d)The Employer may withhold from any amounts payable under this Plan such Federal, state, local or other taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
(e)The Designated Employee's or Perspecta’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof or the failure to assert any right the Designated Employee or Perspecta may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Designated Employee to terminate employment for Good Reason, as defined herein, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right under this Plan.
9.Effect Of Other Agreements
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Plan, (i) any amounts payable to a Designated Employee pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan shall be reduced by any amounts actually paid to such Designated Employee following a termination of employment either pursuant to applicable law or under any contract between the Designated Employee and the Company, in either case that provides for or requires the payment of compensation or severance benefits following a termination of employment and (ii) any benefits that may be provided to a Designated Employee for three years or another period following a termination of employment pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan shall be reduced to the extent that substantially identical benefits are actually received by the Designated Employee during such three year or other period under an existing severance agreement or requirement. It is expressly understood, however, that no amounts payable hereunder shall be reduced by amounts payable under the Company's retirement or deferred compensation plans or by amounts payable as accrued vacation or because of the acceleration of the benefits under Perspecta’s equity compensation plans.
10.Effect Of Section 409A of the Code.
The Plan is intended to provide payments that are exempt from or compliant with the provisions of Section 409A and the Plan shall be interpreted accordingly.
Each payment under the Plan is intended to be compliant with or excepted from Section 409A, including, but not limited to, by compliance with the short-term deferral exception as specified in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-l(b)(4) and the involuntary separation pay exception within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § l.409A-l(b)(9)(iii), and the provisions of the Plan will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted or construed).
All reimbursements or provision of in-kind benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(l)(iv) such that the reimbursement or provision will be deemed payable at a specified time or on a fixed schedule relative to a permissible payment event. Specifically, the amount reimbursed or in-kind benefits provided under the Plan during the Designated Employee's taxable year may not affect the amounts reimbursed or provided in any other taxable year (except that total reimbursements may be limited by a lifetime maximum under a group health plan), the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made on or before the last day of the Designated Employee's taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred, and the right to reimbursement or provision of in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
In the event that any Designated Employee also participates in any other severance arrangement sponsored and maintained by the Company, and if the payments under this plan or the other severance arrangement are nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A (as defined in this Section 10 of this Plan), then the time and form of payments to be made under this Plan and the other severance arrangement, to the extent they are of the same amounts, will be conformed so that such payments are in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if, upon the advice of its counsel, Perspecta determines that any payments or benefits to be provided to a Designated Employee who is a "Specified Employee" (as such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other Treasury Department guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, "Section 409A")) of an Employer (a "Specified Employee") by Perspecta or the Employer pursuant to Section 4 of this Plan are or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(l)(B) or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A ("409A Taxes") as applicable at the time such payments and benefits are otherwise required under this Plan, then:
(a)(i) such payments shall be delayed until the date that is the earlier of six months after date of the Specified Employee's "separation from service" (as such term is defined under Section 409A) with the Company or the date of the Specified Employee's death, or such shorter period that, in the opinion of such counsel, is sufficient to avoid the imposition of 409A Taxes (the "Payments Delay Period"), and (ii) such payments shall be increased by an amount equal to interest on such payments for the Payments Delay Period at a rate equal to the default rate credited to amounts deferred under Perspecta’s Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended; provided, however, that such rate shall be calculated on a monthly average basis rather than a daily basis (the "Interest Rate");
(b)(i) with respect to the provision of such benefits, for a period of six months following date of the Specified Employee's "separation from service" (as such term is defined under Section 409A) with the Company, or
such shorter period, that, in the opinion of such counsel, is sufficient to avoid the imposition of 409A Taxes (the "Benefits Delay Period"), the Specified Employee shall be responsible for the full cost of providing such benefits, and (ii) on the first day following the Benefits Delay Period, the Employer shall reimburse the Specified Employee for the costs of providing such benefits imposed on the Specified Employee during the Benefits Delay Period, plus interest accrued at the Interest Rate; and
(c)the applicable Employer shall fund any payments to a Specified Employee that are to be delayed as a result of the imposition of a Payment Delay Period (including the interest to be paid with respect to such delayed payments) and/or any payments that are expected to be paid to a Specified Employee as a result of the imposition of a Benefits Delay Period (including any interest to be paid with respect thereto) (collectively, the "Delayed Payments") by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the applicable Specified Employee. Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Specified Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Specified Employee. The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Specified Employee in order to pay taxes, if any that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Payment Delay Period pursuant to this Section 10, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes. The amount of such fund shall equal a good faith estimate of the Delayed Payments determined by the Company in consultation with the Specified Employee. The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Employer to pay the Delayed Payments pursuant to this Section 10.
Specified Employees shall be identified as provided in Perspecta’s Specified Employee Determination Policy, as amended.

2018 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
SERVICE BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT
AWARD AGREEMENT
1.Grant of Award.
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [GRANT DATE] (the “Grant Date”) by and between Perspecta Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and [EMPLOYEE], a full-time employee of the Company and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries (the “Employee”).
This Agreement granting the Employee an award under the Plan (the “Award”) shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Perspecta Inc. 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and this Agreement. Except as defined in Appendix A, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings ascribed to them under the Plan.
This Award is subject to the data privacy provisions set forth in Appendix B.
Award Granted: [# GRANTED] Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”)
Upon each of the dates indicated below (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the RSUs shall vest with respect to the number indicated below across from such date:
Number of RSUs Vesting Date
1/3 of the RSUs Granted 1st Anniversary of the Grant Date
1/3 of the RSUs Granted 2nd Anniversary of the Grant Date
1/3 of the RSUs Granted 3rd Anniversary of the Grant Date
2.Settlement of RSUs.
(a)The RSUs shall be settled by the Company delivering to the Employee (or after the Employee’s death, the beneficiary designated by the Employee for such purpose), on the applicable Scheduled Settlement Date, a number of RSU Shares equal to the number of RSUs vesting on such date, together with any related Dividend Equivalents.
(b)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the RSUs shall be settled on the applicable Scheduled Settlement Date.
(c)Any RSU Shares the Employee receives in settlement of the RSUs shall be subject to any holding period requirements or other restrictions set forth in the Company’s stock ownership guidelines applicable to the Employee, as in effect from time to time. The Employee acknowledges that he may be prohibited from selling or otherwise disposing of such RSU Shares while subject to such guidelines.
3.Effect of Termination of Employment; Approved Termination; Change in Control; Recoupment and Forfeiture.
(a)Age 62 or Older Other than for Cause, death or Disability with at least 10 Years of Service; Approved Termination. If, prior to the settlement of the RSUs in full:
(i) the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated at age 62 or older for no reason, or for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability, and the Employee shall have been (or for any other purpose shall have been treated as if he or she had been) a continuous employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries for at least 10 years immediately prior to the date of termination of employment status (including for this purpose any continuous service with DXC prior to the Spinoff or any continuous service with Vencore Holding Corporation or KGS Holding Corporation prior to the Merger); or
(ii) the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated at any time during the term of the Award and such termination is specifically approved by the Committee for purposes of this Section 3(a),
then, as soon as practicable after the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries is terminated (the “Employment Termination Date”), the Company shall settle a portion of the remaining unsettled RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents. The portion of the RSUs settled will be determined by multiplying (x) the total number of RSUs granted under this Award by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months of continuous service with the Company or its Subsidiaries that the Employee has completed since the Grant Date and the denominator of which is the total number of full months from the Grant Date until the last scheduled Vesting Date under the Award, and then subtracting from the resulting product the total number of RSUs granted under this Award, if any, that have vested and been settled prior to the Employment Termination Date. The portion of the RSUs not settled in accordance with this section and any related Dividend Equivalents shall automatically be cancelled as of the close of business on the Employment Termination Date.
(b)Leave of Absence. If, prior to the settlement of the RSUs in full, the Employee is granted a leave of absence (including a military leave of absence), the Employee and the Company each reasonably anticipate that the Employee will return to active employment and either (x) the leave of absence is to be for not more than six months or (y) at all times during the leave of absence the Employee has a statutory or contractual right to return to work, then:
(i) while on leave of absence the Employee shall be treated as if he were an active employee;
(ii) if the Employee’s leave of absence is terminated before the Scheduled Settlement Date and the Employee does not timely return to active employment, the date of the end of the leave of absence shall be treated as the Employment Termination Date;
(iii) if the Employee’s leave of absence is terminated before the Scheduled Settlement Date and the Employee timely returns to active employment, he shall be treated as if active employment had continued uninterrupted during the leave of absence; and
(iv) if the Employee’s leave of absence continues to the Scheduled Settlement Date, the RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents shall be settled on such date.
(c)Death or Disability.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, prior to the settlement in full of the RSUs, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of death of the Employee, then, one calendar month after such death, the
Company shall complete the settlement in full of the remaining unsettled RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents.
(ii) If, prior to the settlement in full of the RSUs, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Disability of the Employee, then, one calendar month after the Employment Termination Date, the Company shall complete the settlement in full of the remaining unsettled RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents.
(iii) If settlement is by reason of termination due to death, settlement shall be to the beneficiary designated by the Employee for such purpose.
(d)Cancellation of RSUs upon Other Termination of Employment. If, prior to the settlement in full of the RSUs, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated other than pursuant to Section 3(a) or (c) hereof, then the remaining unsettled RSUs and all related Dividend Equivalents shall automatically be cancelled as of the close of business on the Employment Termination Date.
(e)Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control that occurs while Employee is employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries, the RSUs shall, subject to Section 18 of the Plan, continue to vest based on Employee’s continued employment with the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if, on or within two (2) years after the date of the Change in Control and prior to when the RSUs have been settled in full, the Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination Without Cause, or the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated as a result of the Employee’s death or Disability or pursuant to Section 3(a) above, then any unvested RSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalents) shall automatically vest in full as of the Employment Termination Date and shall be settled on or as soon as administratively practicable (but, subject to Section 18 below, in no event later than 2.5 months) after the Employment Termination Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “Qualifying Termination Without Cause” shall mean the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company without Cause at a time when the Employee is meeting performance expectations, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
(f)Recoupment and Forfeiture. Settlement of all or a portion of the Award pursuant to this Section 3 is subject to the forfeiture provisions of this Section 3. Settlement of all or a portion of the Award is subject to recoupment by the Company pursuant to Section 5.
4.Withholding and Taxes.
(a)If the Company and/or the Employer are obligated to withhold an amount on account of any federal, state or local tax imposed as a result of the grant or settlement of the RSUs pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”), including, without limitation, any federal, state or other income tax, or any F.I.C.A., state disability insurance tax or other employment tax (the date upon which the Company and/or the Employer becomes so obligated shall be referred to herein as the “Withholding Date”), then the Employee shall pay to the Company on the Withholding Date, the aggregate amount that the Company and the Employer are so obligated to withhold, as such amount shall be determined by the Company (the “Withholding Liability”), which payment shall be made by the automatic cancellation by the Company of a portion of the RSU Shares; provided that the Company is not then prohibited from purchasing or acquiring such shares of Common Stock (such shares to be valued on the basis of the aggregate Fair Market Value thereof on the Withholding Date, plus the value of the Dividend Equivalents associated with such shares on the Withholding Date); and provided further that the RSU Shares to be cancelled shall be those that would otherwise have been delivered to the Employee the soonest upon settlement of the RSUs; and provided further, however, that the Employee may, in a required withholding tax election period, irrevocably elect to pay to
the Company via stock plan administrator, by check or wire transfer delivered on or before the Withholding Date, or any date required by the stock plan administrator, an amount equal to or greater than the Withholding Liability.
(b)The Employee acknowledges that neither the Company nor the Employer has made any representation or given any advice to the Employee with respect to Taxes.
5.Recoupment and Forfeiture.
(a)Refund of Stock Value; Forfeiture of RSUs.
(i) Refund of Stock Value. If the Employee breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 5(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) hereof during the Applicable Restrictive Period for any Settlement Date, then, if the RSUs were settled within the one year period prior to the occurrence of such event, the Employee shall immediately deliver to the Company an amount in cash equal to the (i) aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of such Settlement Date, of all RSU Shares which were delivered to the Employee or cancelled in payment of Taxes on such Settlement Date and (ii) Dividend Equivalents paid to the Employee in respect of the RSU Shares.
(ii) Forfeiture of RSUs. If the Employee breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 5(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) hereof prior to the Settlement Date for the RSUs, all remaining unsettled RSUs and related Dividend Equivalents shall be terminated and forfeited.
(b)Triggering Events. The events referred to in Sections 3(f) and 5(a) hereof are as follows:
(i) Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of Confidential Information. The Employee agrees not to disclose, use, copy or duplicate or otherwise permit the use, disclosure, copying or duplication of any Confidential Information (other than in connection with authorized activities conducted in the course of the Employee’s employment at the Company for the benefit of the Company) during the period of his/her employment with the Company or at any time thereafter. The Employee agrees to take all reasonable steps and precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure, use, copying or duplication of Confidential Information.
(ii) Non-Solicitation of the Company’s Employees, Clients, and Prospective Clients. During the time of the Employee’s employment and for a period of 24 months thereafter, the Employee shall not, without the express, prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel, engage in any of the conduct described in paragraphs (A) and (B) below, either directly or indirectly, individually or as an employee, agent, contractor, consultant, member, partner, officer, director or stockholder (other than as a stockholder of less than 5% of the equities of a publicly held corporation) or in any other capacity for any person, firm, partnership or corporation:
(A) hire, attempt to hire or assist any other person or entity in hiring or attempting to hire any current employee of the Company or any person who was a Company employee within the 6-month period preceding such hiring or attempted hiring;
(B) solicit, divert or cause a reduction in the business or patronage of any Client or Prospective Client.
(iii) Non-Competition. During the time of the Employee’s employment and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Employee shall not, without the express, prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel, either directly or indirectly, as an employee, agent, contractor, consultant, partner, member, officer, director or stockholder (other than as a stockholder of less than 5% of the equities of a publicly traded corporation), wherever the Company is marketing or providing its services or products, participate in any activity as, or for, a Competitor of the
Company which is the same or similar to the activities in which the Employee was involved at the Company.
(c)Waiver of Recoupment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall be released from (i) all of his or her obligations under Section 5(a) hereof in the event that a Change in Control occurs within three years prior to the Employment Termination Date, and (ii) some or all of his or her obligations under Section 5(a) hereof in the event that the Committee (if the Employee is an executive officer of the Company) or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (if the Employee is not an executive officer of the Company) shall determine, in their respective sole discretion, that such release is in the best interests of the Company.
(d)Effect on Other Rights and Remedies. The rights of the Company set forth in this Section 5 shall not limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies which the Company or any of its affiliates may have under law or under any separate employment, confidentiality or other agreement with the Employee or otherwise with respect to the events described in Section 5(b) hereof.
(e)Reasonableness. The Employee agrees that the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of the Company. If, however, in any judicial proceeding any provision of this Section 5 is found to be so broad as to be unenforceable, the Employee and the Company agree that such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as to be enforceable.
(f)Clawback. As an additional condition of receiving this Award, the Employee agrees and acknowledges that the Award shall be subject to repayment to the Company in whole or in part in the event of a financial restatement or in such other circumstances as may be required by applicable law or as may be provided in any clawback policy that is adopted by the Company.

In the event that the outstanding securities of any class then comprising the RSU Shares are increased, decreased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property and/or a different number or kind of securities, or cash, property and/or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding securities, in either case as a result of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend) or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split or the like, then, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, the term “RSU Shares,” as used in this Agreement, shall, from and after the date of such event, include such cash, property and/or securities so distributed in respect of the RSU Shares, or into or for which the RSU Shares are so increased, decreased, exchanged or converted.

A waiver by either party at any time of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be considered a modification, cancellation or consent to a future waiver of such terms and conditions or of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, unless expressly so stated.
18.Section 409A Compliance.
Payments under this Agreement are designed to be made in a manner that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a “short-term deferral,” and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Company determines that the settlement of an RSU Share pursuant to this Agreement is or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section
409A (“409A Taxes”) as applicable at the time such settlement is otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payment may be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid 409A Taxes. In particular:
(a)if the Employee is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, such settlement shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Employee’s separation from service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A (the “Settlement Delay Period”); and
(b)if all or any part of such RSU Share has been converted into cash pursuant to Section 7 hereof, then:
(i) upon settlement of such RSU Share, such cash shall be increased by an amount equal to interest thereon for the Settlement Delay Period at a rate equal to the default rate credited to amounts deferred under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan; provided, however, that such rate shall be calculated on a monthly average basis rather than a daily basis; and
(ii) the Company shall fund the payment of such cash to the Employee upon settlement of such RSU Share, including the interest to be paid with respect thereto (collectively, the “Delayed Cash Payment”), by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the Employee, but only if the establishment of such trust does not result in any taxes or penalties becoming due under Section 409A(b). Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Employee. The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Employee in order to pay taxes, if any, that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Settlement Delay Period pursuant to this Section 18, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes. The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Delayed Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 18.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the Grant Date.

(a) The total number of RSU Shares delivered in settlement of this Award shall be between 0% and 200%, inclusive, of the number of Target Units and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be determined by Perspecta Human Resources and Compensation Committee (“the Committee”) pursuant to Appendix C to this Agreement based on the Company’s 3 year performance. Dividend Equivalents will be paid with respect to such RSU Shares delivered in settlement at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) are settled.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2, this Award shall be settled on the Scheduled Settlement Date. The total number of RSU Shares delivered in settlement of the Award pursuant to this Section 2 shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the number of RSU Shares, if any, delivered in settlement of the Award pursuant to Section 3 below.

3. Prorated Earning of RSUs During Performance Period with Settlement at End of Performance Period
(a) The RSUs shall be earned as to 18.75% of the Target Units upon the date on which the Committee determines that the Company’s EPS performance for Fiscal Year 1 is at or above the threshold level of EPS performance specified in Appendix C to this Agreement. If the Company’s EPS performance for Fiscal Year 1 is such that no portion of the RSUs is earned under Section 3(a) based on EPS performance, then the RSUs shall be earned as to 18.75% of the Target Units upon the date on which the Committee determines that the Company’s EPS performance for Fiscal Year 2 is at or above the threshold level of EPS performance specified in Appendix C to this Agreement. If the Company’s EPS performance for Fiscal Year 1 is such that a portion of the RSUs is earned under Section 3(a) based on EPS performance, then the RSUs shall be earned as to an additional 18.75% of the Target Units upon the date on which the Committee determines that the Company’s EPS performance for Fiscal Year 2 is at or above the level of EPS performance that results in a 75% payout of the Target EPS Units pursuant to Appendix C to this Agreement.
(b) In addition, the RSUs shall be earned as to 6.25% of the Target Units upon the date on which the Committee determines that the Company’s Cumulative FCF performance for Fiscal Year 1 is at or above the Fiscal Year 1 Cumulative FCF Target specified in Appendix C to this Agreement.

(a) Age 62 or Older Other than for Cause, death or Disability with at least 10 Years of Service; Approved Termination. If:
(ii) the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated after the end of Fiscal Year 1 and during Fiscal Year 2 or Fiscal Year 3 at age 62 or older for no reason, or for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability, and the Employee shall have been (or for any other purpose shall have been treated as if he or she had been) a continuous employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries for at least 10 years immediately prior to the date of termination of employment status (including any continuous service with DXC prior to the Spinoff or any continuous service with Vencore Holding Corporation or KGS Holding Corporation prior to the Merger); or
(ii) the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated at any time on or before the end of Fiscal Year 3 and such termination is specifically approved by the Committee for purposes of this Section 4(a),
then the Company shall settle a fraction of the RSUs that otherwise would settle in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 (if applicable), and Appendix C of this Agreement on the Scheduled Settlement Date. This fraction will be determined by calculating the number of full months of continuous service with the Company or its Subsidiaries that the Employee has completed since the start of the performance period and then dividing this number by the total number of months during the performance period. If the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates pursuant to this Section 4(a) after the end of Fiscal Year 3, then the Company shall settle the RSUs in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 (if applicable) and Appendix C of this Agreement, without pro-ration, on the Scheduled Settlement Date.
(b) Death or Disability.
(i) If, on or before the end of Fiscal Year 3, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the death or Disability of the Employee, then, one calendar month after the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries is terminated (the “Employment Termination Date”) the Company shall settle the RSUs in full by delivering a pro-rated amount of 100% of the Target Units, with such pro-ration based on the Employee’s period of service during the applicable performance period.
(ii) If, after the end of Fiscal Year 3 and prior to the Scheduled Settlement Date, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the death or Disability of the Employee, then the Company shall settle the RSUs in accordance with Section 2, Section 3
3
(if applicable) and Appendix C of these Agreement, without pro-ration, as soon as practicable after the Employment Termination Date, but in no event later than the Scheduled Settlement Date.
(iii) If settlement is by reason of termination due to death, settlement shall be to the beneficiary designated by the Employee for such purpose.
(c) Cancellation of RSUs upon Other Termination of Employment. If, on or before the end of Fiscal Year 3, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (or no reason), other than pursuant to Section 4(a) or (b) hereof, then the RSUs (including, for avoidance of doubt, any RSUs previously earned pursuant to Section 3) and all related Dividend Equivalents shall automatically be cancelled as of the close of business on the Employment Termination Date. If the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (or no reason), other than pursuant to Section 4(a) or (b) hereof, after the end of Fiscal Year 3, then the Company shall settle the RSUs in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 (if applicable) and Appendix C of this Agreement on the Scheduled Settlement Date.
(d) Change in Control.
(i) Upon a Change in Control that occurs on or before the end of Fiscal Year 3 while Employee is employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries, 100% of the Target Units shall, subject to Section 18 of the Plan, vest and be settled in accordance with the following terms of this Section 4(d)(i), without regard to Sections 2, 3, or Appendix C hereof. Following the Change in Control, the RSUs shall vest based solely on the passage of time and the Employee’s continued employment with the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) and its Subsidiaries as follows: (x) if the Change in Control happens on or before the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the RSUs shall vest in substantially equal thirds on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date; (y) if the Change in Control happens after the first anniversary of the Grant Date but on or before the second anniversary of the Grant Date, the RSUs shall vest in substantially equal halves on the second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date; and (z) if the Change in Control happens after the second anniversary of the Grant Date, the RSUs shall vest in their entirety on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. The RSUs shall be subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if, on or within two (2) years after the date of the Change in Control and prior to when the RSUs have vested in full, the Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination Without Cause, or the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated as a result of the Employee’s death or Disability or pursuant to Section 4(a) above, then the RSUs shall automatically vest in full as of the Employment Termination Date. Settlement of any RSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalents) that vest pursuant to this Section 4(d)(i) shall occur on or as soon as administratively practicable (but,
4
subject to Section 19 below, in no event later than 2.5 months) after the applicable vesting date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “Qualifying Termination Without Cause” shall mean the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company without Cause at a time when the Employee is meeting performance expectations, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
(ii) Upon a Change in Control that occurs after the end of Fiscal Year 3 and prior to the Scheduled Settlement Date, the Company shall settle the RSUs in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 (if applicable) and Appendix C of this Agreement, without pro ration, as soon as practicable after the Change in Control, but in no event later than the Scheduled Settlement Date.
(e) Recoupment and Forfeiture. Settlement of all or a portion of the Award pursuant to this Section 4 is subject to the forfeiture provisions of this Section 4. Settlement of all or a portion of the Award is subject to recoupment by the Company pursuant to Section 6.
(f) Leave of Absence. If the Employee is granted a leave of absence (including a military leave of absence), the Employee and the Company each reasonably anticipate that the Employee will return to active employment and either (x) the leave of absence is to be for not more than six months or (y) at all times during the leave of absence the Employee has a statutory or contractual right to return to work, then for purposes of this Award: (i) while on leave of absence the Employee shall be treated as if he were an active employee; (ii) if the Employee’s leave of absence is terminated and the Employee does not timely return to active employment, the date of the end of the leave of absence shall be treated as the Employment Termination Date; (iii) if the Employee’s leave of absence is terminated and the Employee timely returns to active employment, he shall be treated as if active employment had continued uninterrupted during the leave of absence; and (iv) if the Employee’s leave of absence continues to the Scheduled Settlement Date or any other date for settlement of the RSUs as provided under this Award, any RSUs which the Employee would otherwise be entitled to receive if he were an active employee shall be settled on such date.
5. Withholding and Taxes
(a) If the Company and/or the Employer are obligated to withhold an amount on account of any federal, state or local tax imposed as a result of the grant or settlement of the RSUs pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”), including, without limitation, any federal, state or other income tax, or any F.I.C.A., state disability insurance tax or other employment tax (the date upon which the Company and/or the Employer becomes so obligated shall be referred to herein as the “Withholding Date”), then the Employee shall pay to the Company on the Withholding Date, the aggregate amount that the Company and the Employer are so obligated to withhold, as such amount shall be determined by the Company (the “Withholding Liability”), which payment shall be made by the automatic cancellation by the Company of a portion of the RSU Shares; provided that the Company is not then prohibited from
5
purchasing or acquiring such shares of Common Stock (such shares to be valued on the basis of the aggregate Fair Market Value thereof on the Withholding Date, plus the value of the Dividend Equivalents associated with such shares on the Withholding Date); and provided further that the RSU Shares to be cancelled shall be those that would otherwise have been delivered to the Employee the soonest upon settlement of the RSUs; and provided further, however, that the Employee may, in a required withholding tax election period, irrevocably elect to pay to the Company via stock plan administrator, by check or wire transfer delivered on or before the Withholding Date, or any date required by the stock plan administrator, an amount equal to or greater than the Withholding Liability.
(b) The Employee acknowledges that neither the Company nor the Employer has made any representation or given any advice to the Employee with respect to Taxes.
6. Recoupment and Forfeiture
(a) Refund of Stock Value; Forfeiture of RSUs.
(i) Refund of Stock Value. If the Employee breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 6(b)(i), (ii) or hereof during the Applicable Restrictive Period for any Settlement Date, then, if the RSUs were settled within the one year period prior to the occurrence of such event, the Employee shall immediately deliver to the Company an amount in cash equal to the (i) aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of such Settlement Date, of all RSU Shares which were delivered to the Employee or cancelled in payment of Taxes on such Settlement Date and (ii) Dividend Equivalents paid to the Employee in respect of the RSU Shares.

(e) Reasonableness. The Employee agrees that the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of the Company.

7
(f) Clawback.

9. Shareholder Rights
The Employee shall have no rights of a shareholder with respect to RSU Shares subject to this Award unless and until such time as the Award has been settled by the transfer of shares of Common Stock to the Employee.
10. Assignment of Award.

Any certificates representing the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Award will bear all legends required by law and necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of the Plan and this Award.

13. Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee, the Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including personal representatives, heirs and legatees), except that the Employee may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent and in the manner expressly permitted herein.
14. Plan.
The RSUs are granted pursuant to the Plan, as in effect on the Grant Date, and are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive the Employee, without his or her consent, of the RSUs or of any of the Employee’s rights under this Agreement. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan, this Agreement and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for the purpose of administering the Plan shall be final and binding upon the Employee.
Until the RSUs are settled in full, the Company shall, upon written request therefor, send a copy of the Plan, in its then- current form, to the Employee.

9

(a)the Plan was established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan and this Agreement;
(b)the Company grants RSUs voluntarily and on an occasional basis, and the receipt of the RSUs by the Employee does not create any contractual or other right to receive any future grant of RSUs, or any benefits in lieu of a grant of RSUs;
(c)all decisions with respect to future grants of RSUs by the Company will be made in the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; and

18. Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waivers.
This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not stated or incorporated by reference herein, shall bind either party hereto. None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or canceled except by a writing, signed by the parties hereto specifying such amendment, modification, waiver or cancellation.

10
19. Section 409A Compliance.
Payments under this Agreement are designed to be made in a manner that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a “short-term deferral,” and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Company determines that the settlement of an RSU Share pursuant to this Agreement is or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A (“409A Taxes”) as applicable at the time such settlement is otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payment may be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid 409A Taxes. In particular:
(a) if the Employee is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, such settlement shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Employee’s separation from service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A (the “Settlement Delay Period”); and
(b) if all or any part of such RSU Share has been converted into cash pursuant to Section 8 hereof, then:
(i) upon settlement of such RSU Share, such cash shall be increased by an amount equal to interest thereon for the Settlement Delay Period at a rate equal to the default rate credited to amounts deferred under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan; provided, however, that such rate shall be calculated on a monthly average basis rather than a daily basis; and
(ii) the Company shall fund the payment of such cash to the Employee upon settlement of such RSU Share, including the interest to be paid with respect thereto (collectively, the “Delayed Cash Payment”), by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the Employee, but only if the establishment of such trust does not result in any taxes or penalties becoming due under Section 409A(b). Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Employee. The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Employee in order to pay taxes, if any, that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Settlement Delay Period pursuant to this Section 19, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes. The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Delayed Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 19.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the Grant Date.

ARTICLE I GENERAL
1.1 Plan Name and Purpose. Effective as of May 1, 2018, Enterprise Services LLC (now named Perspecta Enterprise Solutions LLC) (“Enterprise Services”) established the Enterprise Services 401(k) Plan (the “Original Plan”). Effective as of April 1, 2019, Perspecta Inc. (the “Company”), the parent company of Enterprise Services, assumes sponsorship of the Original Plan from Enterprise Services and amends, restates and renames the Original Plan as the Perspecta Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) in order to reflect the merger with and into the Plan of certain qualified retirement plans of other affiliated entities. The Plan is intended to qualify under Code Section 401(a), and with respect to the portion hereof intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement, to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(k), and with respect to the portion intended to qualify as an employee stock ownership plan under the Original Plan, to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 4975(e)(7). This Plan is intended to qualify as a profit- sharing plan under Code Section 401(a)(27)(B).
1.2 The Separation. In connection with DXC Technology Company’s (“DXC”) spinoff of the legal entities constituting its U.S. public sector (“USPS”) business, DXC underwent an internal reorganization and incorporated the Company as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DXC and parent company of Enterprise Services. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 11, 2017, the USPS business (including Enterprise Services and the Company) was spun-off on or around June 1, 2018 (the “Separation”) and was contemporaneously combined with Vencore Holding Corp. (“Vencore”) and KGS Holding Corp. (“KGS”) on or around June 1, 2018, creating an independent, publicly traded corporation which owns and operates the legal entities constituting the USPS business previously owned and operated by DXC (through its direct and indirect subsidiaries), as well as Vencore and KGS, which have become wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
1.3 Transfer of Assets and Liabilities, Service Credit. In connection with the Separation and as described in that certain Employee Matters Agreement by and between DXC and the Company, Enterprise Services established the Original Plan to be substantially similar to the DXC Technology Matched Asset Plan (“DXC MAP”).

Such Service credit accrued before such Break in Service shall be deemed not to include any period of Service not required to be taken into account under this Section 2.59 by reason of any prior Break in
Service. For purposes of this subsection 2.59(c), the term Parity Period shall mean the greater of:
(i) Five (5) Years of Service; or
(ii) The Participant’s Service credit accrued prior to the Period of Severance giving rise to said Break in Service for plan years commencing before January 1, 1985 under the Prior Plan.
Service credit accrued before a Break in Service shall be deemed not to include any period or periods of Service not required to be taken into account under this subsection 2.59(c) or under the terms of the Prior Plan as in effect prior to January 1, 1985 by reason of any prior Break in Service.
(d) An Employee shall be credited with Service with respect to a period of employment with a Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company, but only to the extent that such period of employment would be so credited under the foregoing rules set forth in this Section 2.59. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless provided by the Company, or unless otherwise expressly stated in this Plan, such an Employee shall not receive such Service credit for any period of employment with an Affiliated Company prior to such entity becoming or becoming a part of, an Affiliated Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining the Vested Interest of a former Employee of the Company who becomes an employee of AUTEC Range Services, such Employee shall be credited with Service with respect to the Employee’s period of employment with AUTEC Range Services. Effective July 31, 2014 for purposes of determining an Employee’s Vested Interest, an Employee shall be credited with Service with respect to a period of employment with Tenacity Solutions, Inc., but only to the extent that such period of employment would be so credited under the foregoing rules set forth in this Section 2.59.
2.60 Severance. The termination of an Employee’s employment, in any capacity, with a Participating Employer and Affiliated Companies, by reason of such Employee’s death, resignation, dismissal or otherwise. For the purposes of this Plan, an Employee shall be deemed to have incurred a Severance on the date on which he dies, resigns, is discharged, or his employment with a Participating Employer and its Affiliated Companies otherwise terminates (including a failure to return to work on or before the date on which he is scheduled to return to work after the termination of a Leave of Absence, which failure shall be deemed to constitute a termination of employment as of such date of scheduled return). A Participant who transfers from one Participating Employer or Affiliated Company to a different Participating Employer or Affiliated Company shall not be considered to have experienced a
Severance. A Severance shall occur for a Participant whose termination constitutes a “severance from employment” within the meaning of Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I).
2.61 Severance Date. In the case of any Employee who incurs a Severance, the day on which such Employee is deemed to have incurred said Severance, determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.60.
2.62 Spouse (Surviving Spouse). The person to whom a Participant is legally married at the first to occur of (i) the time benefits commence or (ii) the date of his death. A former spouse will be treated as the Spouse or Surviving Spouse and a current Spouse will not be treated as a Spouse or Surviving Spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order as described in Code Section 414(p).
2.63 Stock. Common stock of the Company and shares of stock of the Company or of another corporation for which such common stock shall be exchanged, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of shares, merger, consolidation or other change in the corporate stock structure, which stock shall constitute Qualifying Employer Securities. In certain contexts throughout the Plan, “Stock” may also mean common stock of DXC or of another corporation for which such common stock shall be exchanged, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of shares, merger, consolidation or other change in the corporate stock structure, which stock shall constitute Qualifying Employer Securities. As of the Restatement Effective Date, no further amounts shall be designated for investment in Stock.
2.64 Temporary Employee. Temporary Employees can be either Temporary Full- Time Employees or Temporary Part-Time Employees. Temporary Full-Time Employees are regularly scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week for a period not to exceed six months. Temporary Part-Time Employees are regularly scheduled to work less than 30 hours per week, but at least 20 hours per week, for a period not to exceed six months.
2.65 Top Paid Group. The top 20 percent of Employees who performed services for a Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company during the applicable year, ranked according to the amount of Includable Compensation received from a Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company during such year. The determination of the Top Paid Group shall be made on a Participating Employer-by-Participating Employer basis including all Affiliated Companies of each Participating Employer. Leased Employees within the meaning of Code Sections 414(n)(2) and 414(o)(2) shall be considered Employees unless such Leased Employees are covered by a plan described in Code Section 414(n)(5) and are not covered in any qualified plan maintained by a Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company. Employees who are non- resident aliens and who received no earned income (within the meaning of Code Section 911(d)(2)) from the Company or an Affiliated Company constituting United States source income (within the meaning of Code Section 861(a)(3)) shall not be treated as Employees. Additionally, for the purpose of determining the number of active Employees in any year, the following additional Employees shall also be excluded; however, such Employees shall still be considered for the purpose of identifying the particular Employees in the Top Paid Group:
i.(a) Employees with less than six (6) months of service;
ii.Employees who normally work less than 17 ½ hours per week;
iii.Employees who normally work less than six (6) months during a year; and
iv.Employees who have not yet attained age 21.
In addition, if 90 percent or more of the Employees of a Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company are covered under agreements the Secretary of Labor finds to be collective bargaining agreements between Employee representatives and a Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company and the Plan covers only Employees who are not covered under such agreements, then Employees covered by such agreements shall be excluded from both the total number of active Employees as well as from the identification of particular Employees in the Top Paid Group.
The foregoing exclusions set forth in this Section shall be applied on a uniform and consistent basis for all purposes for which the Code Section 414(q) definition is applicable.
The determination of a Top Paid Group shall be made on a Participating Employer- by-Participating Employer basis provided such Participating Employer is not in the Company’s controlled group as defined under the Code using only the Includable Compensation that such Employee received from the Participating Employer.
2.66 Total and Permanent Disability. An individual shall be considered to be suffering from a Total and Permanent Disability if the Committee or its designee (“Disability Administrator”) determines that the individual is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment. An individual’s disabled status shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Disability Administrator, based on such evidence as the Disability Administrator determines to be sufficient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the condition constitutes total disability under the Federal Social Security Acts as determined by the U.S. Social Security Administration, the Disability Administrator may rely upon such determination that the individual has incurred a Total and Permanent Disability for purposes of the Plan.
2.67 Trust and Trust Fund. The assets of the trust established under the Trust Agreement pursuant to Article VI.
2.68 Trust Agreement. The one or more agreements entered into between the Company and a Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Article VI for the purpose of holding contributions and earnings under this Plan.
2.69 Trustee. Any successor or other corporation or person or persons acting as a trustee of the Trust Fund.

2.72 Year of Service. Except as provided in Appendices A and B, “Year of Service” for a regular full-time Employee, shall mean for all purposes of this Plan, three hundred sixty-five
(365) days of Service. For purposes of determining the Vested Interest of a Part-Time, Casual or Temporary Employee, a Year of Service shall be calculated in the same manner as it is for a regular Full-Time Employee.

ARTICLE III ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
3.1 Eligibility to Participate. Except as provided in Section 3.2,
(a) A regular or Temporary Full-Time Eligible Employee will be eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of 30 consecutive days of Service following his Employment Commencement Date.
(b) A Part-Time, Casual or Temporary Part-Time Eligible Employee will be eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of 30 consecutive days of Service following his Employment Commencement Date.
(c) An Eligible Employee who had accounts under the DXC MAP transferred to this Plan in connection with the Separation will become a Participant as of the Effective Date.
(d) An Eligible Employee who had accounts under the Vencore Plan or the KGS Plan transferred to this Plan in connection with the merger described in Section 1.4 will become a Participant as of the Restatement Effective Date.
3.2 Subsequent Eligibility. An Eligible Employee who ceases to be an Eligible Employee and then later requalifies as an Eligible Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate in the Plan upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 3.1.
ARTICLE IV COMPENSATION DEFERRALS
4.1 Compensation Deferral Agreement.
(a) Each Eligible Employee who desires to have Compensation Deferral Contributions made on his behalf shall enter into a Compensation deferral agreement with his Participating Employer to have a percentage (from 1% (one percent) to 75% (seventy- five percent)) (but not to exceed 10% (ten percent) or such other amount as is determined by the Committee for Highly Compensated Employees) of his Compensation deferred for each payroll period for which such Compensation deferral agreement is in effect. Such percentage shall be a whole percentage of Compensation up to the maximum permissible dollar amount under the Plan. A Participating Employer shall make Compensation Deferral Contributions on behalf of the Participant in accordance with subsection 5.1(a)(1). A Participant may elect to designate all or a part of his Compensation Deferral Contributions as Roth Contributions. Such designation shall be prospective only and shall be made at the same time and in the same manner for making Compensation Deferral Contributions as prescribed by the Committee. A Participant may prospectively change the amount of his Compensation Deferral Contributions that are designated
as Roth Contributions in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. All elections made by a Participant to designate all or part of his Compensation Deferral Contributions as Roth Contributions shall remain in force until they are changed or until the Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan. Unless the context otherwise indicates, a Roth Contribution will be treated as a “Compensation Deferral Contribution” for all purposes under the Plan. Catch-up Contributions will be treated as “Compensation Deferral Contributions” for purposes of selecting a deferral percentage from 1% (one percent) to 75% (seventy-five percent) but not for purposes of any limitation otherwise applicable to Highly Compensated Employees as described in this subsection 4.1(a).
(b) The Compensation deferral agreement shall remain in effect throughout that Plan Year and all subsequent Plan Years until (i) such agreement is deemed modified by the Automatic Deferral Increase; (ii) such agreement is modified, revoked or terminated, pursuant to Section 4.3; or (iii) the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee. A Compensation deferral agreement shall be made in such form and manner as the Committee shall prescribe or approve. The Automatic Deferral Increase is an increase to the percentage of Compensation to be deferred as Compensation Deferral Contributions in annual increments of one percent (1%) of Compensation beginning on the December 1st next following the later of the Restatement Effective Date or the date that is 30 days following the last day of the first payroll period for which the Compensation deferral agreement is in effect and continuing on each successive December 1st until (x) the Participant affirmatively elects not to participate in the Automatic Deferral Increase; (y) the Participant changes the percentage of Compensation Deferral Contributions pursuant to Section 4.3; or (z) the percentage of Compensation to be deferred as Compensation Deferral Contributions, after giving effect to the most recent Automatic Deferral Increase increment, equals ten percent (10%).
(c) As of the Restatement Effective Date, the percentage of Compensation to be deferred as Compensation Deferral Contributions (including any portion thereof to be designated as Roth Contributions) in the case of an Eligible Employee described in subsection 3.1(d) shall be equal to the corresponding deferral percentage in effect on March 31, 2019, under the Vencore Plan or the KGS Plan, as applicable. For purposes of such deferral percentages under the Vencore Plan or the KGS Plan, Section 4.3 shall be applicable as of the Restatement Effective Date as if such deferral percentages were elected under this Plan, provided that the Participant gives advance notice of change or discontinuance in accordance with applicable administrative procedures.
(d) All Participants who are eligible to make Compensation Deferral Contributions under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the calendar year shall be eligible to enter into an agreement with a Participating Employer to make Catch-up Contributions as a percentage of Compensation in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code Section 414(v); provided, however, no Catch-up Contributions may be made in the first payroll period of the Plan Year in which a Participant attains age 50. Such an agreement shall be evidenced by a separate Catch-up Contribution election. Such Catch-up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Code Sections 402(g) and 415. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4), 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of the making of such Catch-up Contributions. Matching Contributions shall be made with respect to amounts contributed as
Catch-up Contributions. A Participant’s Catch-up Contribution election shall remain in effect throughout the Plan Year and all subsequent Plan Years until such election is modified, revoked or terminated, pursuant to Section 4.3, or the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee. Catch-up Contribution elections shall be made in such form and manner as the Committee shall prescribe or approve. A Participant may elect to designate all or a part of his Catch-up Contributions as Roth Catch-up Contributions. Unless the context otherwise indicates, a Roth Catch-up Contribution will be treated as a “Catch-up Contribution” for all purposes under the Plan.
4.2 Automatic Enrollment.
(a) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply with respect to the automatic contribution arrangement:
(i) Automatic Enrollment Date. With respect to an Eligible Employee who is automatically enrolled in the automatic contribution arrangement of the Plan, the date specified as the Eligible Employee’s Automatic Enrollment Date in subsection 4.2(b).

(iii) Automatic Percentage. The percentage of Compensation contributed to the Plan as a Compensation Deferral Contribution on behalf of an Automatic Enrollment Participant.
(b) Automatic Contribution Arrangement. An Eligible Employee who is not a member of a union, who is eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to Article III, and who has not entered into a Compensation deferral agreement pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be automatically enrolled in the Plan and shall have Compensation Deferral Contributions made on his behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Eligible Employee shall not be automatically enrolled in the Plan if, within 60 days of becoming eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to Article III, the Eligible Employee affirmatively elects not to participate in the automatic contribution arrangement or the Eligible Employee enters into a Compensation deferral agreement to make Compensation Deferral Contributions in any amount pursuant to Section 4.1. With respect to any Eligible Employee who becomes or again becomes eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to Article III, Compensation Deferral Contributions shall automatically be made beginning on the date of the Eligible Employee’s first paycheck following the 60th day after the date the Eligible Employee becomes or again becomes eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to Article III, which date shall be that Eligible Employee’s Automatic Enrollment Date.
(c) Automatic Contribution Arrangement Contributions. A Compensation Deferral Contribution in the Automatic Percentage shall be made to each Automatic Enrollment Participant’s Account by the Participating Employer on behalf of each Automatic Enrollment Participant beginning on the Eligible Employee’s Automatic Enrollment Date unless and until
the Automatic Enrollment Participant affirmatively elects to cease being an Automatic Enrollment Participant by (i) affirmatively electing not to participate in the automatic contribution arrangement, (ii) entering into a Compensation deferral agreement to make Compensation Deferral Contributions pursuant to Section 4.1, (iii) changing the percentage of Compensation Deferral Contributions pursuant to Section 4.3, or (iv) directing investment of his Account pursuant to Section 7.3.

4.3 Modification, Revocation or Termination of Compensation Deferral Agreement and Catch-up Contribution Elections.
(a) A Participant may change the percentage of his Compensation Deferral Contributions or the percentage of Catch-up Contributions during any payroll period by delivering to the Plan Administrator his written notice (or other means of communication, such as telephonic or electronic, as the Plan Administrator may designate in accordance with subsection 18.4(c)) of such change. Any such change shall become effective as soon as administratively feasible after receipt by the Plan Administrator of such changes.
(b) A Participant may revoke his Compensation deferral agreement or Catch- up Contribution election during any payroll period by delivering to the Plan Administrator his written notice (or other means of communication, such as telephonic or electronic, as the Plan Administrator may designate in accordance with subsection 18.4(c)) of such revocation. Such revocation shall become effective as soon as administratively feasible after receipt by the Committee. A revocation shall remain in effect throughout that Plan Year and all subsequent Plan Years until the Participant enters into a new Compensation
deferral agreement or Catch-up Contribution election with his Participating Employer pursuant to Section 4.1.
(c) A Participant’s Compensation deferral agreement or Catch-up Contribution election shall automatically terminate if he ceases to be an Eligible Employee. If he again becomes an Eligible Employee and desires again to defer a portion of his Compensation, it shall be his responsibility to enter into a new Compensation deferral agreement or Catch- up Contribution election to resume Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions.
(d) The Committee may prescribe such rules as it deems necessary or appropriate regarding the modification, revocation or termination of a Participant’s Compensation deferral agreement or Catch-up Contribution election.
(e) It shall be the responsibility of an Eligible Employee who elects Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions to be made to this Plan to verify that the amounts of Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions are in accordance with his Compensation deferral agreement or Catch-up Contribution election and investment of such amounts is in accordance with his investment designations.
4.4 Amount Subject to Deferral.
(a) No Participant shall be permitted to make Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions in any calendar year in excess of the amount as may be determined from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to Code Section 402(g) or 414(v), respectively. If a Participant’s Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions exceed the amount as determined in the previous sentence for any calendar year for any reason, such excess contributions allocable thereto shall be returned to the Participant, as provided in Section 4.7.
(b) The Committee may prescribe such rules as it deems necessary or appropriate regarding deferrals under subsection 4.1(a) or 4.1(d), including rules regarding the timing of a deferral election. These rules shall apply to all Eligible Employees.
4.5 Limitation on Compensation Deferrals by Highly Compensated Employees. With respect to each Plan Year, Compensation Deferral Contributions (including amounts contributed pursuant to subsection 4.1(d) that are recharacterized as Compensation Deferral Contributions) by Highly Compensated Employees under the Plan for the Plan Year shall not exceed the limitations on contributions by or on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees under Code Section 401(k), as provided in this Section. This determination shall be made on the basis of the Company and its Affiliated Companies as one testing group and each Participating Employer, as defined under subsection 2.45(c) and its Affiliated Companies, each as a separate testing group. If Compensation Deferral Contributions under this Plan by or on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for any Plan Year exceed the limitations of this Section 4.5 for any reason, such excess contributions and any income allocable thereto shall be returned to the Participant, as provided in Section 4.6. The Actual Deferral Percentage test will be calculated using the “current year testing” method described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(2).
(a) The Compensation Deferral Contributions by a Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year shall satisfy one of the following tests:
(i) The Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not be more than the Actual Deferral Percentage of all other Eligible Employees multiplied by 1.25; or
(ii) The excess of the Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees over the Actual Deferral Percentage for all other Eligible Employees shall not be more than two percentage points, and the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees shall not be more than the Actual Deferral Percentage of all other Eligible Employees multiplied by 2.00.
(b) For the purposes of this Article IV, “Actual Deferral Percentage” means, with respect to Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees and all other Eligible Employees for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each Employee in such group, of the amount of Compensation Deferral Contributions under the Plan on behalf of each Employee for such Plan Year to such Employee’s Includable Compensation for such Plan Year.
(c) If as of the last day of a Plan Year this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans which include arrangements under Code Section 401(k), then this Section 4.5 shall be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentages of Eligible Employees as if all such plans were a single plan.
(d) For the purposes of this Section 4.5, the Actual Deferral Percentage for any Highly Compensated Employee who is a Participant under two or more Code Section 401(k) arrangements of a Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company shall be determined by taking into account the Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation (including any differential wage payment (as defined in Code Section 3401(h)(2)) made by a Participating Employer) under each such arrangement and contributions under each such arrangement which qualify for treatment under Code Section 401(k).
(e) For purposes of this Section, the amount of Compensation Deferral Contributions by a Participant who is not a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year shall be reduced by any Compensation Deferral Contributions in excess of the limits under Code Section 402(g) (as adjusted upward by the Secretary of Treasury) which have been distributed to the Participant under Section 4.7, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under Code Section 401(k).
(f) The determination and treatment of Compensation Deferral Contributions and the Actual Deferral Percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
4.6 Provisions for Distribution of Excess Contributions by Highly Compensated Employees. The Committee shall determine, as soon as is reasonably possible following the close of each Plan Year the extent, if any, to which the Compensation Deferral Contributions by Highly Compensated Employees do not satisfy one of the tests set forth in Section 4.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if Excess Contributions exist, the Committee shall distribute such Excess Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, no later than the last day of each Plan Year to Participants to whose Accounts such Excess Contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan Year. Excess Contributions are allocated to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest amounts of Compensation Deferral Contributions taken into account in calculating the Actual Deferral Percentage test for the year in which the excess arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount of such Compensation Deferral Contributions and continuing in descending order until all the Excess Contributions have been allocated. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “largest amount” is determined after distribution of any Excess Contributions. However, in determining the amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed with respect to an affected Highly Compensated Employee as determined herein, such amount shall be reduced by any Excess Contributions previously distributed to such affected Highly Compensated Employee for his taxable year ending with or within such Plan Year.
(a) With respect to the distribution of Excess Contributions such distribution:
(i) shall be adjusted for income as provided in (c) below; and
(ii) shall be designated by the Committee as a distribution of Excess Contributions (and income).
(b) Any distribution of less than the entire amount of Excess Contributions shall be treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Contributions and income.
(c) Income Allocable to Excess Contributions. The income allocable to Excess Contributions shall be equal to the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year. In all events, the gain or loss allocable to Excess Contributions will be determined in accordance with Code Section 401(k) and the regulations issued thereunder.
(d) If the correction of a Participant’s Excess Contributions requires the distribution of amounts from a Participant’s Accounts, the distribution shall be removed from the Accounts in the order determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.
4.7 Provisions for Distribution of Annual Compensation Deferral Contributions in Excess of the Applicable Limit.
(a) If the Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions by a Participant under this Plan and “elective deferrals” or “catch-up contributions” (as defined or described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.402(g)-1(b) and Code Section 414(v), respectively,) under all other plans, contracts, or arrangements of a Participating Employer shall exceed the
“applicable limit” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.402(g)- l(d) and 1.402(g)-2) for the Participant’s taxable year, then such excess Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions and the income allocable to the excess Compensation Deferral Contributions and Catch-up Contributions shall be distributed to the Participant (after withholding applicable federal, state and local income taxes due on such amounts) on or before the first April 15 following the close of the calendar year in which such excess contribution is made. The income allocable to excess Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions shall equal the sum of the gain or loss for the taxable year of the Participant. In all events, the income attributable to excess Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions will be determined in accordance with Code Section 402(g) and the regulations issued thereunder. The Committee shall not be liable to any Participant (or his Beneficiary, if applicable) for any losses caused by incorrectly estimating the amount of any Participant’s Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions in excess of the limitations of this Article IV and any income allocable to such excess.
(b) On or before April 1, a Participant may submit a claim to the Committee in which he certifies in writing the specific amount of his Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-up Contributions for the preceding calendar year which, when added to amounts deferred for such calendar year under other plans or arrangements described in Code Section 401(k), 408(k) or 403(b), will cause the Participant to exceed the “applicable limit” for the calendar year in which the deferral occurred. Notwithstanding the amount of the Participant’s Compensation Deferral Contributions under the Plan for such preceding calendar year, the Committee shall treat the amount specified by the Participant in his claim as a Compensation Deferral Contribution in excess of the “applicable limit” for such calendar year and return such excess, as adjusted for any income or loss allocable thereto, to the Participant as provided in (a) above.
(c) Any excess Compensation Deferral Contributions shall be treated as Annual Additions under Article XV for the Plan Year for which the excess Compensation Deferral Contributions were made unless such excess is distributed to a Participant in accordance with this Section.
(d) If a distribution is required for a Participant’s contributions to comply with an “applicable limit”, the distribution shall be removed from the Accounts in the order determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.
4.8 Character of Amounts Contributed as Compensation Deferrals. Amounts deferred pursuant to the Compensation deferral agreement and Catch-up Contribution election described above in Section 4.1 (and which qualify for treatment under Code Section 401(k) and are contributed to the Trust Fund pursuant to Article VI) shall be treated for federal and state income tax purposes as Participating Employer Contributions.
4.9 Participant Voluntary Contributions. A Participant shall not be permitted to make any voluntary after-tax contributions to the Plan.
4.10 Participant Rollover Contributions.
(a) Effective as of a Participant’s Eligibility Date, or such later date as may be determined by the Committee, the account, if any, of such Participant then held in trust under
another plan that satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(a), an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), or in an individual retirement account which is attributable solely to a rollover contribution within the meaning of Code Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), may be transferred to this Plan and credited to the Participant’s Rollover Account in accordance with rules which the Committee shall prescribe from time to time; provided, however, the Committee determines that the continued qualification of this Plan would not be adversely affected by such transfer. Except as provided in Appendix E, no individual shall be eligible to rollover any amounts that are considered to be a loan under another plan. In the case of a transfer to this Plan of a Participant’s account under a plan of an Affiliated Company, such transfer shall be made directly from the trustee of the plan of such Affiliated Company to the Trustee of this Plan. Any amount transferred in accordance with this Section 4.10 shall not be subject to distribution to the Participant except as expressly provided under the terms of this Plan. Any such rollover under this Section 4.10 shall be made to the Plan in cash, except for those loans as provided in Appendix E.
(b) A Participant may apply to the Committee to deposit a direct transfer from a designated Roth account under another applicable retirement plan, which shall be deposited into the Roth Rollover Account established or maintained under the Plan in the name of the contributing Participant. The Committee shall, before agreeing to accept any such transfer, seek and obtain reasonable representations from the plan administrator or other responsible party of the distributing plan (i) of the first year of the Five-Taxable-Year Period for the Participant and the portion of such distribution that is attributable to investment in the contract; or (ii) that the distribution is a Qualified Roth Distribution. The Plan shall not accept an indirect (i.e., 60-day) transfer from a designated Roth account under another applicable retirement plan.
(c) Effective July 1, 2019, a Participant who is then an Employee may elect to roll over a distribution from one or more of his Accounts to his Roth Account (an “In- Plan Roth Rollover”) that (i) is otherwise eligible for distribution from the Plan; (ii) qualifies as an Eligible Rollover Distribution; and (iii) is not a distribution from the Participant’s Roth Account. Any such In-Plan Roth Rollover shall be made in accordance with, and treated as a taxable distribution to the extent required by, Code Section 402A(c)(4) and any regulations and other guidance issued under that provision.
ARTICLE V
EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
5.1 Amount of Participating Employer Contributions.
(a) Subject to the requirements and restrictions of this Article V and Articles VI and XV, a Participating Employer shall make contributions to the Plan as follows:
(1) As soon as administratively practicable following each payroll period, the Participating Employer shall make a Compensation Deferral Contribution on behalf of a Participant equal to the amount of Compensation deferred by the Participant for each payroll
period pursuant to the Compensation deferral agreement described in Article IV hereunder, provided such Compensation Deferral Contribution constitutes an elective contribution that satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(k). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall such Compensation Deferral Contributions be contributed before (1) the Participant has entered into a Compensation deferral agreement with a Participating Employer or (2) the Participant’s performance of services that relate to the Compensation that, but for the Participant’s Compensation deferral agreement, would have been paid to the Participant.
(2) As soon as administratively practicable following each payroll period, the Participating Employer shall make a Catch-up Contribution on behalf of a Participant equal to the amount of Compensation (determined without regard to subsection 2.11(f)) deferred by the Participant for each payroll period pursuant to the Catch-up Contribution election described in Article IV hereunder, provided such Catch-up Contribution constitutes an elective deferral that satisfies the requirements of Code Section 414(v). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall such Catch- up Contributions be contributed before (1) the Participant has entered into an agreement with a Participating Employer to make Catch-up Contributions or (2) the Participant’s performance of services that relate to the Compensation that, but for the Participant’s Catch-up Contribution election, would have been paid to the Participant.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, including Appendix A
hereto:
(1) As soon as administratively practicable following the end of the Company’s second and fourth fiscal quarters during the Plan Year, the Participating Employer shall make a Matching Contribution (which may include forfeitures applied pursuant to subsection 9.5(b)) on behalf of a Participant in an amount as follows:
(A) An amount equal to the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the first three percent (3%) and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the next two percent (2%) of the aggregate Compensation Deferral Contributions and Catch-up Contributions made on behalf of the Participant during the preceding six-month period, provided the Participant’s aggregate Compensation Deferral Contributions and
Catch-up Contributions qualify for tax treatment under Code Section 402(e)(3).
(B) A Participant shall be eligible for such Matching Contribution on the date the Participant commences participation in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall such Matching Contribution be contributed before (i) the Participant has entered into a Compensation deferral agreement and/or Catch-up Contribution election with a Participating Employer or (ii) the Participant’s performance of services that relate to the Compensation that, but for the Participant’s Compensation deferral agreement
and/or Catch-up Contribution election would have been paid to the Participant. Participants must be employed with a Participating Employer on March 31 or September 30 of each six-month period in order to receive a Matching Contribution under this subsection 5.1(a)(3) with respect to such six-month period. Participants who die or retire on or after their Early Retirement Date will receive a Matching Contribution for the applicable six-month period as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s date of death or retirement. Solely for purposes of calculating the Matching Contribution for the 2018 Plan Year, a Participant’s aggregate Compensation Deferral Contributions shall include any compensation deferral contributions made under the DXC MAP.
(C) Solely for purposes of calculating the Matching Contributions described in this subsection 5.1(a)(3) for the six-month period ending on the last day of the Company’s second fiscal quarter during the 2019 Plan Year, the employment status of a Participant in the Original Plan shall be determined on September 30, 2019, and the Compensation of any such Participant shall include any Compensation taken into account under the Original Plan for the nine-month portion of the 2019 Plan Year prior to the Restatement Effective Date.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Matching Contributions provided under this subsection 5.1(a)(3) to Participants who are collectively bargained employees shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following each payroll period.
(3) For the avoidance of doubt, Compensation Deferral Contributions designated as Roth Contributions shall be included in the calculation of Matching Contributions.
(b) In no event shall contributions made under subsection 5.1(a)(3) above for any portion of a Plan Year be made later than the time prescribed by law for the deduction of such contribution for purposes of a Participating Employer’s federal income tax, as determined by the applicable provisions of the Code.
(c) Subject to the following, each Participating Employer may make annual Discretionary Employer Contributions, in cash, for that Participating Employer’s fiscal year, which shall be allocated to each eligible Participant’s Discretionary Employer Contributions Account in a nondiscriminatory manner as determined by the Participating Employer.
(1) The Participating Employer may designate whether or not the Participant must be an active Employee on the last day of the applicable fiscal year or on any particular day during such fiscal year, and/or at the time the Discretionary Employer Contribution is made, in order to be eligible for a share in the Discretionary Employer Contribution.
(2) Discretionary Employer Contributions shall be invested in accordance with each Participant’s investment election for such amounts under Section 7.3. If no such election is made, the Discretionary Employer Contribution shall be invested in the Investment Funds otherwise elected by the Participant for investment of the Participant’s Compensation Deferral Account. In the event a Participant has not designated an Investment Fund for the investment of his Compensation Deferral Account, any Discretionary Employer Contributions allocated to the Participant pursuant to this subsection 5.1(c) shall be invested in the same qualified default investment alternative fund designated by the Committee and specified in Appendix G to the Plan for Compensation Deferral Contributions made on behalf of Automatic Enrollment Participants, unless and until the Participant otherwise directs pursuant to Section 7.3.
(3) In no event shall a Participating Employer be obligated to make a Discretionary Employer Contribution in excess of the maximum amount deductible under Code Section 404(a)(3)(A).
(4) For purposes of applying the Code Section 401(a)(17) limit described in subsection 2.11(f), any Compensation taken into account shall be the Compensation received for the fiscal year for which the Discretionary Employer Contribution is made, except that the Compensation shall be determined, and Code Section 401(a)(17) shall be applied, on a fiscal year basis (rather than on a Plan Year basis), and as a result of which, the Code Section 401(a)(17) limit in effect for the Plan Year in which the fiscal year begins shall apply, as required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(17)-1(b)(3)(ii).
(d) A Participating Employer may, in the discretion of the Company and subject to the limitations of Section 15.1, make Qualified Non-Elective Contributions (as defined in Code Section 401(m)(4)(C)) on behalf of Non-Highly Compensated Eligible Employees in order to ensure that the Plan meets the Actual Deferral Percentage test or the Actual Contribution Percentage test of the Code. The amount and allocation of such contributions will be determined by the Participating Employer at the time of contribution. Any contribution made to the Plan pursuant to this subsection 5.1(d) shall be fully vested when made and subject to the same distribution restrictions that apply to Compensation Deferral Contributions (other than with respect to hardship distributions under subsection 9.7(a)). Any such contributions shall be allocated in an equitable manner to a QNEC Contributions Account that is established and maintained for a Participant to record amounts attributable to such contributions.
(e) As soon as administratively practicable following each Plan Year, a Participating Employer may make Non-Elective Contributions for such Plan Year, in cash, which shall be allocated to each eligible Participant’s Non-Elective Contributions Account in accordance with the following subsections:
(1) The Non-Elective Contributions made pursuant to this Section shall be made in a manner that is nondiscriminatory and that meets all of the applicable qualification requirements of the Code. In order to be eligible to receive Non-Elective Contributions, a Participant (1) must be on the payroll of Perspecta Labs Inc. at any time during the Plan Year, (2) must have been on the payroll of Vencore Labs Inc. as of December 14, 2016, and (3)
must have been eligible to receive “employer profit sharing contributions” under Section 3.5A of the Vencore Plan.
(2) The amount of such Non-Elective Contributions for each Plan Year shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule:
Years of Service
on First Day Percentage of Compensation of Plan Year for Plan Year
Less than 10 2%
10 Through 19 3%
20 Through 29 4%
30 or More 5%
(3) Solely for purposes of calculating the Non-Elective Contribution described in this subsection 5.1(e) for the 2019 Plan Year, a Participant’s Years of Service shall be determined on January 1, 2019, and a Participant’s Compensation shall include any compensation taken into account under the Vencore Plan for that portion of the 2019 Plan Year prior to the Restatement Effective Date.
(4) Non-Elective Contributions shall be invested in accordance with each Participant’s investment election for such amounts under Section 7.3. If no such election is made, the Non-Elective Contribution shall be invested in the Investment Funds otherwise elected by the Participant for investment of the Participant’s Compensation Deferral Account. In the event a Participant has not designated an Investment Fund for the investment of his Compensation Deferral Account, any Non- Elective Contributions allocated to the Participant pursuant to this subsection 5.1(e) shall be invested in the same qualified default investment alternative fund designated by the Committee and specified in Appendix G to the Plan for Compensation Deferral Contributions made on behalf of Automatic Enrollment Participants, unless and until the Participant otherwise directs pursuant to Section 7.3.
(5) In no event shall a Participating Employer be obligated to make a Non- Elective Contribution in excess of the maximum amount deductible under Code Section 404(a)(3)(A).
5.2 Special Limitations on Matching Contributions. With respect to each Plan Year, Matching Contributions under the Plan made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the "contribution percentage requirement” of Code Section 401(m)(2), as provided in this Section. This determination shall be made on the basis of the Company and its Affiliated Companies as one testing group and each Participating Employer, as defined under subsection 2.45(c) and its Affiliated Companies, each as a separate testing group. In the event that Matching Contributions under this Plan made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for any Plan Year exceed the “contribution percentage requirement” of Code Section 401(m)(2) for any reason, such Excess Aggregate Contributions and any income allocable thereto shall be disposed of in accordance with Section 5.3, the provisions of Code Sections 401(m)(2) and 401(m)(9) and any applicable regulations. The Actual Contribution Percentage test will be calculated using the “current year testing” method described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(2).
(a) The Matching Contributions made on behalf of a Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year shall satisfy one of the following tests:
(1) The Actual Contribution Percentage for Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not be more than the Actual Contribution Percentage of all other Eligible Employees multiplied by 1.25; or
(2) The excess of the Actual Contribution Percentage for Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees over the Actual Contribution Percentage for all other Eligible Employees shall not be more than two percentage points, and the Actual Contribution Percentage for Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not be more than the Actual Contribution Percentage of all other Eligible Employees multiplied by 2.00.
(b) For the purposes of this Article V, “Actual Contribution Percentage” means, with respect to Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees and all other Eligible Employees for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each Employee in such group, of the amount of Matching Contributions under the Plan on behalf of each Employee for such Plan Year to such Employee's Includable Compensation for such Plan Year.
(c) If as of the last day of a Plan Year this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans which include arrangements under Code Section 401(k), then this Section 5.2 shall be applied by determining the Actual Contribution Percentages of Eligible Employees as if all such plans were a single plan.
(d) For the purposes of this Section, the Actual Contribution Percentage for any Highly Compensated Employee who is a Participant under two or more Code Section 401(k) arrangements of a Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company shall be determined by taking into account the Highly Compensated Employee's Compensation (including any differential wage payment (as defined in Code Section 3401(h)(2)) made by a Participating Employer) under each such arrangement and contributions under each such arrangement which qualify for treatment under Code Section 401(k).
(e) The determination and treatment of Matching Contributions and the Actual Contribution Percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
5.3 Return of Excess Aggregate Contributions on Behalf of Highly Compensated Employees. The Committee shall determine, as soon as is reasonably possible following the close of the Plan Year, the extent (if any) to which Matching Contributions on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees may cause the Plan to exceed the limitations of Section 5.2 for such Plan Year. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if, pursuant to the determination by the Committee, Matching Contributions on behalf of a Highly Compensated Employee may cause the Plan to exceed such limitations, then the Committee shall take the following steps:
(a) First, any Excess Aggregate Contributions on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be forfeited, to the extent forfeitable under the Plan. Amounts of Excess Aggregate Contributions forfeited by Highly Compensated Employees under this Section shall be applied to the maximum extent practicable, to reduce a Participating Employer’s Matching Contribution for the Plan Year for which the Excess Aggregate Contribution was made and succeeding Plan Years, as necessary.
(b) If any excess remains after the provisions of (a) above are applied, any Excess Aggregate Contributions which are non-forfeitable under the Plan, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee (after withholding applicable federal, state and local income taxes due on such amount) within two and one-half (2-1/2) months following the close of the Plan Year for which the Excess Aggregate Contribution was made, but in no event later than the end of the first Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the excess Matching Contribution was made, notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan.
(c) Excess Aggregate Contributions are allocated to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest Actual Contribution Percentage dollar amounts taken into account in calculating the Actual Contribution Percentage test for the year in which the excess arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar amount of such Actual Contribution Percentage amounts and continuing in descending order until all the Excess Aggregate Contributions have been allocated. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “largest dollar amount” is determined after distribution of any Excess Aggregate Contributions.
(d) For purposes of this Section, the amount of any Excess Aggregate Contributions on behalf of a Highly Compensated Employee for a preceding Plan Year under Section 5.2, and any income or loss allocable to any Excess Aggregate Contributions, shall be determined by the Committee in a manner consistent with that described in subsection 4.7(a). The Committee shall not be liable to any Highly Compensated Employee (or his Beneficiary, if applicable) for any losses caused by incorrectly estimating the amount of any Excess Aggregate Contributions on behalf of a Highly Compensated Employee and the earnings attributable to such excess. In all events, the
income attributable to Excess Aggregate Contributions will be determined in accordance with Code Section 401(m) and the regulations issued thereunder.
(e) Any Excess Aggregate Contribution forfeited by or distributed to a Highly Compensated Employee in accordance with this Section shall be treated as an Annual Addition under Article XV for the Plan Year for which the Excess Aggregate Contribution was made. In addition, any forfeited amount reallocated to the Account of another Participant shall be treated as an Annual Addition with respect to such Participant.
5.4 Irrevocability. A Participating Employer shall have no right or title to, nor interest in, the contributions made to the Trust Fund, and no part of the Trust Fund shall revert to a Participating Employer except that on and after the Effective Date funds may be returned to the appropriate Participating Employer as follows:
(a) In the event a Participating Employer shall make an excessive contribution under a mistake of fact pursuant to ERISA Section 403(c)(2)(A), the Participating Employer may demand repayment of such excessive contribution at any time within one (1) year following the time of payment and the Trustees shall return such amount to the Participating Employer within the one (1) year period. Earnings of the Plan attributable to the excess contributions may not be returned to the Participating Employer but any losses attributable thereto must reduce the amount so returned.
(b) Any contribution by a Participating Employer to the Trust Fund is conditioned upon the deductibility of the contribution by the Participating Employer under the Code and, to the extent any such deduction is disallowed, the Participating Employer may, within one (1) year following the disallowance of the deduction, demand repayment of such disallowed contribution and the Trustee shall return such contribution within one (1) year following the disallowance. Earnings of the Plan attributable to the excess contribution may not be returned to the Participating Employer, but any losses attributable thereto must reduce the amount so returned.
ARTICLE VI TRUSTEE AND TRUST FUND
6.1 In General. The Company has entered into a Trust Agreement with a Trustee creating the Trust Fund. Such Trust Agreement provides for the administration of the Trust Fund by the Trustee. The Trust Fund shall be invested in accordance with provisions of the Plan and Trust Agreement and shall be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries. The Committee may, without further reference to or action by any Participant, from time to time (i) enter into such further agreements with the Trustee or other parties and make such amendments to the Trust Agreement or said further agreements as it may deem necessary or desirable to carry out the Plan, (ii) designate a successor Trustee or successor Trustees and (iii) take such other steps and execute such other instruments as it may deem necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions thereof.
ARTICLE VII INVESTMENT FUNDS
7.1 Investment of Matching Contributions and Retirement Accounts. Except as provided in Appendix A with respect to Matching Contributions, Matching Contributions and Retirement Accounts credited on a Participant’s behalf shall be initially invested in the applicable Target Series Retirement Fund set forth in Appendix G unless the Participant elects to have such amounts initially invested in any other Investment Fund(s) in accordance with the provisions of subsection 7.3(b). Matching Contributions invested in the applicable Target Series Retirement Fund set forth in Appendix G may be transferred to and designated for investment in any other Investment Fund(s) pursuant to subsection 7.3(b) at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Matching Contributions and Retirement Accounts of a Participant who is an employee of a joint venture in which a Participating Employer has less than an 80% interest in capital or profits shall not be invested in the applicable Target Series Retirement Fund set forth in Appendix G, but instead shall be subject to the investment provisions of Appendix A or F.
7.2 Investments in the Perspecta Stock Fund or the DXC Stock Fund Under the Original Plan. Amounts formerly designated for investment in the Perspecta Stock Fund or the DXC Stock Fund under the Original Plan shall be liquidated on or around the Restatement Effective Date and invested in the applicable Target Series Retirement Fund set forth in Appendix G unless the Participant elects to have such amounts invested in any other Investment Fund(s) pursuant to subsection 7.3(b).
7.3 Investment of Accounts and Contributions. In accordance with rules of uniform application which the Committee may from time to time adopt and subject to subsection 4.2(e) and any limitations set forth in Appendix A or F and in this Article VII, each Participant shall have the right to designate one or more of the Investment Funds established by the Committee for the investment of his Compensation Deferral Account, his Catch-up Contribution Account, his Roth Accounts, his Rollover Account, his Matching Contributions Account, his Discretionary Employer Contributions Account, his Non- Elective Contributions Account, his Merged Account, his After-Tax Merged Account, his QNEC Contributions Account, and his Retirement Account under the Plan as made available by the Committee, subject to the rules set forth in (a)-(d) below. A Participant’s Account may be charged for the reasonable expenses of carrying out the Participant’s investment directions and for investment adviser fees associated with his or her Account. These provisions are intended to comply with Code Sections 401(a)(28) and 401(a)(35) on or before the events described in Section 7.2.
(a) Investment of Accounts in an Investment Fund shall be in such amounts or whole percentages as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time.
(b) A Participant may, at any time (i) make a designation with respect to the amount standing to his credit in such Accounts; and (ii) make a designation with respect to future Compensation Deferral Contributions, Catch-up Contributions, Roth Contributions, Matching Contributions, Discretionary Employer Contributions, and Non-Elective
Contributions, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, only two changes may be made per any calendar month. If such change is made on a Valuation Date before the earlier of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time or the close of the New York Stock Exchange, such change shall become effective on the Valuation Date that the change was made. If the change is not made by such deadline, or is not made on a Valuation Date, such change shall become effective on the next following Valuation Date.
(c) Investment Funds may, from time to time, hold cash or cash equivalent investments (including interests in any fund maintained by the Trustee as provided in the Trust Agreement) resulting from investment transactions relating to the property of said Fund; provided, however, that none of the Committee, the Company, any Participating Employer, the Trustee or any other person shall have any duty or responsibility to cause such Funds to be held in cash or cash equivalent investments for investment purposes. In the case of any Investment Fund under the management and control of an Investment Manager appointed by the Committee in accordance with Section 11.4, none of the Committee, the Company, any Participating Employer, the Trustee, or any other person shall have any responsibility or liability for investment decisions made by such Investment Manager.
(d) Any insiders under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may only engage in transactions involving the Perspecta Stock Fund subject to the approval of the Company’s securities counsel.
7.4 Other Investment Allocation Rules. On December 31 of each Plan Year, amounts determined on a per capita basis through the end of each such Plan Year that were not otherwise allocated under Section 7.1 or 7.3 shall be allocated to the Matching Contributions Account of each Participant who has a Compensation deferral agreement under Section 4.1 in effect with the Participating Employer on December 31 of the applicable Plan Year.

(1) A participant in the Original Plan shall become vested in the value of his Matching Contributions Account in accordance with the vesting schedule that applied to such Account under the Original Plan.
(2) A participant in the Vencore Plan shall have a one hundred percent (100%) Vested Interest in the value of his Matching Contributions Account

(e) Notwithstanding the above, any Years of Service completed by a Participant after he incurs at least five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining his Vested Interest in the value of his Matching Contributions Account and Non-Elective Contributions Account prior to such Breaks in Service.
(f) If the vesting schedule under the Plan is amended or if the Plan is amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the computation of a Participant’s Vested Interest each Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service may elect, within a reasonable time after the adoption of the amendment, to continue to have his Vested Interest computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. The period during which the election may be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted and shall end on the latest of: (i) 60 days after the amendment is adopted; (ii) 60 days after the amendment is effective; or (iii) 60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment.

ARTICLE IX PAYMENT OF PLAN BENEFITS
9.1 Distribution Upon Retirement.
(a) A Participant may retire from the employment of a Participating Employer on his Early Retirement Date or his Normal Retirement Date. If the Participant continues in the service of a Participating Employer beyond his Normal Retirement Date, he shall continue to participate in the Plan in the same manner as Participants who have not reached their Normal Retirement Dates. At the Participant’s Severance on his Postponed Retirement Date, his Distributable Benefit shall be based upon the Vested Interest of his Accounts as of the applicable Valuation Date. After a Participant has reached his Normal Retirement Date, any Severance (other than by reason of death or Total and Permanent Disability) shall be deemed a Normal Retirement.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.4 and 9.11, upon a Participant’s Severance on or after his Early Retirement Date, such Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of his Distributable Benefit as provided in Section 9.6 within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Committee of all required documentation, but in no event shall payment be made later than the sixtieth day after the later of the close of the Plan Year in which occurs the Severance, or the close of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age, unless such Participant consents to a later distribution.
(c) All distributions under this Plan must be made in accordance with the regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9), including the incidental death benefit requirement of Code Section 401(a)(9)(G). Furthermore, the provisions of this Article IX reflecting Code Section 401(a)(9) override any other distribution options in the Plan inconsistent with Code Section 401(a)(9).
(d) The following provisions shall apply with respect to distributions:
(i) In accordance with procedures described in this subsection 9.1(d), a Participant who (A) is not a five percent owner (as defined in Code Section 416), (B) attains age 70½ while actively employed by the Company, and (C) has not otherwise commenced payment of his Distributable Benefit as of the date an election is made shall be given a one-time option to elect to commence an in-service distribution of a portion of his or her Distributable Benefit beginning on or before April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70½ (“Voluntary Minimum Distribution” or “VMD”). The procedures for electing, calculating the amount of, and paying a VMD are as follows:
(1) The option to elect shall be given in the January of the year in which the Participant reaches age 70½. The Participant shall have the period specified in the notice, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of the notice, to elect a VMD (the “VMD Election Period”).
(2) If the Committee receives a properly completed and signed election form within the VMD Election Period, the VMD shall be paid in an amount equal to the amount, and shall be distributed in the same time and manner, that the Participant would have received as the Participant’s required minimum distribution calculated under subsection 9.1(c) of the Plan; provided, however, that the required minimum distribution shall be calculated based on the Participant’s Account balance on the VMD Date. The VMD Date shall be the last business day of November of the year in which the Participant reaches age 70½.
(ii) Any Participant who is not a five percent owner (as defined in Code Section 416) and who is hired by the Company after the Participant attains age 70 ½ shall be given the one-time option to elect to commence a VMD pursuant to the terms set forth in subsection 9.1(d)(i) above in the January of the first Plan Year commencing after the first December 31 on which the Participant has an Account balance.
(iii) Any Participant who is not a five percent owner (as defined in Code Section 416) and who is rehired after attaining age 70½ shall be given the one-time option to elect to commence a VMD pursuant to the terms set forth in subsection 9.1(d)(i) above; provided, however, that a rehired Participant may elect a VMD only if the Participant was not otherwise given the one-time option to take a VMD prior to his date of rehire.
(iv) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant who is receiving a VMD at the time of his Severance Date shall cease receiving such VMD and instead commence receiving his Distributable Benefit in the form elected by the Participant in accordance with Article IX of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Participant has elected to receive a VMD which has not yet commenced at the time of his retirement under the Plan, such election shall be cancelled and the Participant shall instead commence receiving his Distributable Benefit in the form elected by the Participant at retirement in accordance with Article IX of the Plan.
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Participant shall not receive a VMD concurrently with the Participant’s required minimum distributions paid in accordance with subsection 9.1(c). With respect to a Participant who was actively employed by the Company and receiving required minimum distributions under the Prior Plan as of October 1, 1998, that Participant shall have a one-time election to cease and defer distribution of his required minimum distribution until April 1 of the later of (i) the year in which the Participant reaches age 70½; or (ii) the year following the Participant’s Severance Date.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in subsection 9.1(d) to the contrary, the required minimum distribution of the Distributable Benefit of a Participant who is a five percent owner (as defined in Code Section 416) must begin by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70½.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 9.1, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 under the Prior Plan but for the enactment of Code Section 401(a)(9)(H) (“2009 RMDs”), and who would have satisfied that requirement by receiving distributions that are (i) equal to the 2009 RMDs or (ii) one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions (that include the 2009 RMDs) made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and the Participant's designated Beneficiary, or for a period of at least 10 years (“Extended 2009 RMDs”), will receive those distributions for 2009, unless the Participant or Beneficiary chooses not to receive such distributions. Participants and Beneficiaries described in the preceding sentence will be given the opportunity to elect to stop receiving the distributions described in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 9.1(f), for purposes of applying the Direct Rollover provisions of the Plan, 2009 RMDs and Extended 2009 RMDs (both as defined above) are not treated as Eligible Rollover Distributions.
9.2 Distribution Upon Death Prior to Payment of Benefits.
(a) Upon the death of a Participant prior to the payment of his Distributable Benefit, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to make a distribution of such Distributable Benefit as provided in Section 9.6 to the Beneficiary designated by the deceased Participant, or otherwise entitled to such Distributable Benefit, as provided in Section 9.8.
(b) Distribution of a Participant’s Distributable Benefit shall be made within ninety (90) days after all facts required by the Committee to be established as a condition of payment have been established to the satisfaction of the Committee, but in any event within the maximum time period allowed by Code Section 401(a)(9).
(c) If a Participant dies while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code Section 414(u)(5)), the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to any additional benefits under the Plan as if the Participant had died during service with a Participating Employer.
9.3 Distribution Upon Disability Prior to Retirement Date.
(a) Upon the Severance of a Participant as a result of Total and Permanent Disability, which shall be certified by a physician designated by the Disability Administrator, if the Committee so requests, his Distributable Benefit shall be distributed to him as provided in Section 9.6.
(b) Distribution to a disabled Participant shall be made within ninety (90) days after all facts required by the Disability Administrator to be established as a condition of payment have been established to the satisfaction of the Disability Administrator.
9.4 Severance Prior to Normal Retirement Date.
(a) If a Participant incurs a Severance prior to his Normal Retirement Date for any reason other than Total and Permanent Disability or death, his Distributable Benefit
shall be paid in a lump sum as provided in Section 9.6 as soon as practicable following the Participant’s attainment of Normal Retirement Age; provided, however, that in no event shall such distribution be later than sixty (60) days after the close of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age, unless such Participant elects to defer receipt of such payment until such Participant attains age 70½.
(b) Payment of a Participant’s Distributable Benefit under this Section 9.4 shall be made in a lump sum as provided in Section 9.6 before the Participant’s attainment of Normal Retirement Age within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Committee of all required documentation (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the close of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age) as follows:
(i) In the case of a Participant whose Distributable Benefit exceeds
$5,000 (not including the amount of any Rollover Account or Roth Rollover Account), if the Participant elects in writing to receive payment of such Distributable Benefit.
(ii) In the case of a Participant whose Distributable Benefit does not exceed $1,000 (including the amount of any Rollover Account or Roth Rollover Account), without such Participant’s election.
(iii) In the case of a Participant whose Distributable Benefit does not exceed $5,000 (not including the amount of any Rollover Account or Roth Rollover Account) and is more than $1,000 (including the amount of any Rollover Account or Roth Rollover Account), then the Committee shall pay the Distributable Benefit as a Direct Rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Committee without such Participant’s election. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Participant elects in writing to receive payment of such Distributable Benefit or to have it paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Participant in a Direct Rollover, it shall be paid to the Participant or such Eligible Retirement Plan, as applicable.
9.5 Forfeitures; Restoration.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection 9.5(c) below, any non-vested portion of a Participant’s Matching Contributions Account shall be forfeited as of the earlier of the date the Participant’s Distributable Benefit is paid to him as provided in Section 9.4 or the date the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service.
(b) Any non-vested portion of a Participant’s Matching Contributions Account which is forfeited in accordance with (a) above shall be (i) applied to reduce Matching Contributions by a Participating Employer under subsection 5.1(a)(3) or to restore amounts previously forfeited, as provided in subsection 9.5(c) below, (ii) applied to reduce Discretionary Employer Contributions or Non-Elective Contributions, (iii) used for corrective allocations as permitted under the IRS Employee Plans Compliance Resolution
System (EPCRS), or (iv) used to pay for Plan administrative expenses, and shall not otherwise be repaid or recovered by a Participating Employer.
(c) In accordance with such rules as the Committee may prescribe, there shall be restored to the Participant’s credit in his Matching Contributions Account the dollar value of any non-vested portion of a Participant’s Matching Contributions Account which
was forfeited upon payment of the Participant’s Distributable Benefit in accordance with subsection 9.4(b) prior to the date on which he incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service; provided, however, that such restoration shall be made only in the case of the Participant’s reemployment as an Employee prior to incurring five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, and upon the Participant’s repayment of the amount distributed under Section 9.4 within five (5) years of the Participant’s reemployment. The determination of the dollar value of the forfeited portion of the Participant’s Matching Contributions Account required to be restored to the Participant shall be made as of the Valuation Date the Participant’s Accounts were valued for purposes of determining his Distributable Benefit, as provided in Article X. No adjustment in the dollar value of the forfeited amounts shall be made for any gains or losses of any Investment Fund between the applicable Valuation Date and the restoration of the dollar value of the forfeited portion of the Participant’s Matching Contributions Account.
9.6 Payment of Distributable Benefit.
(a) Form of Distribution. If a Participant has a Merged Account that has received amounts directly from another qualified plan that provides for an annuity form of distribution, such Merged Account shall be distributed in accordance with Section 9.12. Otherwise, a Participant may elect to receive the entire Vested Interest balance of his Accounts in one of the following forms:
(i) Single lump sum payment.
(ii) Approximately equal annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly installments over a period designated by the Participant. The payment period shall be designated by the Participant by electing a specific number of years, half- years, quarters or months, which payment period may not extend beyond the Participant’s life expectancy (or the joint life expectancy of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary). The Participant may designate the dollar amount to be received in each payment or may elect to have each payment recalculated such that each payment will equal the balance in his Accounts as of the date of distribution divided by the number of scheduled payments remaining; provided, however, that the amounts payable to a Participant each year shall at least equal the amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9). A Participant may elect, in writing and according to uniform procedures established by the Committee, at any time following the date he or she commences benefit payments under this subsection 9.6(a)(ii) to change the number of any remaining installment payments and/or the dollar amount paid to such Participant in each remaining installment payment.
(iii) A fixed annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly amount, as elected by the Participant, the duration of which ends on the date such Participant
attains age 70½, at which time payment shall be in a variable amount not to exceed such Participant’s life expectancy.
(iv) A withdrawal of such portion (which may be all) of the Participant’s remaining Account balance as he may designate from time to time.
(v) If a Participant elects a payment method described in subsections 9.6(a)(ii) or (iii) above, such installment payments shall be made from such Participant’s Accounts on a pro rata basis by Investment Fund in the Participant’s Accounts. The amounts remaining in a Participant’s Account shall be subject to Section 7.3.
(vi) A Participant who makes an election pursuant to subsections 9.6(a)(ii) or (iii) subsequently may elect to receive any remaining balance in a lump sum as provided in subsection 9.6(a)(i).
(b) Manner of Payment. All distributions shall be valued as of the Valuation Date on which such amounts are distributed. Payment of a Participant’s Distributable Benefit reflecting the Participant’s interest in the Perspecta Stock Fund (and/or DXC Stock Fund) shall be made in shares of Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share), unless the Participant elects to receive his entire distribution in cash; provided, however, that all distributions pursuant to subsections 9.4(b)(ii) or (iii) shall be made in cash, unless the Participant elects to receive a distribution pursuant to subsection 9.4(b)(ii) or (iii) in shares of Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share). Unless a Participant specifically requests that his Distributable Benefit attributable to Investment Funds other than the Perspecta Stock Fund (and/or DXC Stock Fund) be made in Stock, such portion of his Distributable Benefit shall be made in cash; provided, however, that a Distributable Benefit pursuant to subsection 9.4(b)(iii) shall be made only in cash. The payment of a Participant’s Distributable Benefit in Stock (other than the portion of the distribution representing the Participant’s interest in the Perspecta Stock Fund and/or DXC Stock Fund) shall consist of a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of shares of Stock which can be purchased with the dollar value of the Participant’s Distributable Benefit (other than the portion of the distribution representing the Participant’s interest in the Perspecta Stock Fund and/or DXC Stock Fund), such value to be determined as of the appropriate Valuation Date determined under Article X.
9.7 Withdrawals.
(a) Hardship Distributions.
(i) Upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to the Committee or its designee (“Hardship Administrator”), a Participant who is an Employee may obtain a hardship distribution from any Accounts in which he has a one hundred percent (100%) Vested Interest if the Hardship Administrator finds that the distribution is necessary to relieve a “financial hardship” incurred by the Participant. A Participant will be considered to have incurred a financial hardship only if he has immediate and heavy financial needs that cannot be fulfilled
through other reasonably available resources of the Participant. “Immediate and heavy financial needs” means:
(1) Expenses for medical care described in Code Section 213(d) previously incurred by the Participant, the Participant’s Spouse, or any dependents of the Participant (as defined in Code Section 152, determined
without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) thereof) or any Beneficiary under the Plan with respect to the Participant or necessary for these persons to obtain such medical care;
(2) The purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant;
(3) Payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant or his Spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152, determined without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) thereof) or Beneficiary;
(4) The need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of that residence;
(5) Payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, Spouse, children, dependents (as defined in Code Section 152, determined without regard to subsection (d)(1)(B) thereof), or Beneficiary;
(6) Expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to Code Section 165(h)(5) and whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income); and
(7) Such additional expenses or payments approved by the Internal Revenue Service.
The determination of hardship shall be made by the Hardship Administrator in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner in accordance with such standards as may be promulgated from time to time by the Internal Revenue Service.
(ii) A distribution will be deemed necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant if all of the following requirements are met:
(1) The distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant; and
(2) The Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship withdrawals, currently available under this Plan and all plans maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company.
(iii) A distribution may include any amount necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution.
(b) While still an Employee, a Participant may, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to the Committee, make a withdrawal from his Retirement Account of an amount specified by him up to the whole amount thereof. A Participant who makes a withdrawal under this subsection 9.7(b) shall not be eligible to again make a withdrawal under this subsection 9.7(b) prior to the first anniversary of the date the Participant’s most recent withdrawal under this subsection 9.7(b) was distributed to him.
(c) While still an Employee, a Participant who has attained at least age fifty- nine and one-half (59½) and has a one hundred percent (100%) Vested Interest in the value of his Accounts under the Plan may, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to the Committee, make a withdrawal from his Accounts of the amount specified by him, up to the total value of his Vested Interest in his Accounts. A Participant who makes a withdrawal under this subsection 9.7(c) shall not be eligible to again make a withdrawal under this subsection 9.7(c) prior to the first anniversary of the date the Participant’s most recent withdrawal under this subsection 9.7(c) was distributed to him. A Participant shall have a separate withdrawal option under this subsection 9.7(c) for his Roth Accounts, if applicable.
(d) While still an Employee, a Participant may, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to the Committee, make a withdrawal from his Merged Account of all amounts thereof attributable to transfers from other profit sharing plans and amounts attributable to other pension plans and Code Section 401(k) plans provided the Participant had the right to elect to receive a distribution of such amount at the time of the transfer to this Plan. No withdrawals under this provision shall be permitted of any amounts transferred from an account that qualifies under Code Section 401(k) if the Participant did not have the right to receive a distribution at the time of the transfer. A Participant who makes a withdrawal under this subsection 9.7(d) shall not be eligible to again make a withdrawal under this subsection 9.7(d) prior to the first anniversary of the date the Participant’s most recent withdrawal under this subsection 9.7(d) was distributed to him.
(e) Rollover Account, Roth Rollover Account and After-Tax Merged Account amounts may be withdrawn at any time for any reason.
(f) The maximum amount subject to withdrawal under this Section 9.7 shall be determined as of the Valuation Date immediately following the Hardship Administrator’s or Committee’s determination authorizing the withdrawal.
(g) Any withdrawal under this Section 9.7 reflecting the Participant’s interest in the Perspecta Stock Fund shall be made in shares of Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share), unless the Participant elects to receive such entire amount in
cash. Any withdrawal from an Investment Fund other than the Perspecta Stock Fund shall be in Stock or cash, as determined in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9.6(b). Such withdrawals shall be distributed as soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination authorizing a withdrawal. Similar provisions shall apply with respect to DXC Stock in the DXC Stock Fund.
(h) Any withdrawal under this Section 9.7 shall be taken from the Investment Funds in the order determined by the Investment Manager appointed pursuant to Section
11.4.
9.8 Designation of Beneficiary.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection 9.8(b) below, each Participant shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive his Vested Interest in the Trust Fund in the event of his death before receipt of his entire Vested Interest in the Trust Fund. This designation is to be made on the form prescribed by and delivered to the Committee. Subject to the provisions of subsection 9.8(b) below, a Participant shall have the right to change or revoke any such designation by filing a new designation or notice of revocation with the Committee, and no notice to any Beneficiary or consent by any Beneficiary shall be required to effect any such change or revocation.
(b) If a Participant designates a non-Spouse as the Beneficiary of his Vested Interest in the Trust Fund and on the date of his death has a Spouse, no effect shall be given to such designation unless such Spouse has consented in writing to such designation and such consent is witnessed by a notary public. If a Participant designates a non-Spouse Beneficiary and the Surviving Spouse does not consent to such designation, the Surviving Spouse shall be deemed the Beneficiary of the deceased Participant. A Spouse’s consent to a Beneficiary designation is not required under the following circumstances:
(i) if it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee that there is no Spouse; or
(ii) if the Participant’s Spouse cannot be located; or
(iii) because of other circumstances under which a Spouse’s consent is not required in accordance with applicable Treasury or Department of Labor Regulations.
(c) If a deceased Participant has failed to designate a Beneficiary, or if the Committee, after reasonable efforts have been made, is unable to locate a form designating a Beneficiary, but has a Surviving Spouse, such Surviving Spouse shall be the Beneficiary and the Participant’s non-forfeitable accrued benefit (reduced by any security interest held by the Plan by reason of a loan outstanding to such Participant) shall be payable in full to such deceased Participant’s Surviving Spouse. In the case of a deceased Participant who has no Surviving Spouse, and (i) such deceased Participant shall have failed to designate a Beneficiary, or (ii) if the Committee shall be unable to locate a designated Beneficiary after reasonable efforts have been made, or (iii) if for any reason the designation shall be legally ineffective, or (iv) if the Committee after reasonable efforts have been made, is unable to locate a form designating a Beneficiary, or (v) if the Beneficiary shall have predeceased the
Participant and the Participant did not designate a successor Beneficiary, then the Participant’s estate shall be the Beneficiary and the Participant’s non-forfeitable accrued benefit (reduced by any security interest held by the Plan by reason of a loan outstanding to such Participant) shall be payable in full to such estate within one (1) year after the Participant’s death.
(d) In the event that the deceased Participant was not a resident of California at the date of his death, the Committee, in its discretion, may require the establishment of ancillary administration in California. In the event that a Participant shall predecease his Beneficiary and on the subsequent death of the Beneficiary a remaining distribution is payable under the applicable provisions of this Plan, the distribution shall be payable to the estate of the Beneficiary, subject to the same provisions concerning non-California residency and the establishment of ancillary administration as are applicable on the death of the Participant.
(e) The Committee shall not be required to authorize any payment to be made to any person following a Participant’s death, whether or not such person has been designated by the Participant as Beneficiary, if the Committee determines that the Plan may be subject to conflicting claims in respect of said payment for any reason, including, without limitation, the designation or continuation of a designation of a Beneficiary other than the Participant’s Spouse without the consent of such Spouse to the extent such consent is required by Code Section 401(a). In the event the Committee determines in accordance with this subsection 9.8(e) not to make payment to a designated Beneficiary, the Committee shall take such steps as it determines appropriate to resolve such potential conflict. The provisions of this Section 9.8 shall not be construed to place upon the Company or the Committee any duty or obligation to require the consent of a Spouse for the purpose of protecting the rights or interests of present or former Spouses of Participants, except to the extent required to comply with Code Section 401(a)(11) or ERISA Section 205.
9.9 Facility of Payment. If any payee under the Plan is a minor or if the Committee reasonably believes that any payee is legally incapable of giving a valid receipt and discharge for any payment due him, the Committee may have the payment or any part thereof, made to the person (or persons or institution) whom it reasonably believes is caring for or supporting the payee, unless it has received due notice of claim therefor from a duly appointed guardian or custodian of the payee. Any payment shall be a payment from the Accounts of the payee and shall, to the extent thereof, be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan to the payee.
9.10 Payee Consent. To the extent required to comply with Code Section 411(a)(11), the Committee shall require each Participant or other payee to consent to any payment of a Participant’s Accounts.
9.11 Additional Requirements for Distribution.
(a) The Committee or Trustee, or both, may require the execution and delivery of such documents, papers and receipts as the Committee or Trustee may determine necessary or appropriate in order to establish the fact of death of the deceased Participant and of the right and identity of any Beneficiary or other person or persons claiming any benefits under this Article IX.
(b) The Committee or the Trustee, or both, may, as a condition precedent to the payment of death benefits hereunder, require an inheritance tax release and/or such security as the Committee or Trustee, or both, may deem appropriate as protection against possible liability for state or federal death taxes attributable to any death benefits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article IX regarding the time within which a Participant’s Distributable Benefit will be paid, if, in the opinion of the Committee there are or reasonably may be conflicting claims or other legal impediments to the payment of such Distributable Benefit to a payee, such payment may be delayed for so long as is necessary to resolve such conflict, potential conflict, or other legal impediment, but not beyond the date permitted by applicable law.
(c) The Committee shall notify each recipient of an Eligible Rollover Distribution (as defined in subsection 9.13(d)(i)) of his distribution options within a reasonable period of time prior to making such distribution.
9.12 Distribution from Merged Accounts. The provisions of this Section 9.12 shall apply to any Participant whose Accounts include a Merged Account that has received amounts directly from another qualified plan that provides for an annuity form of distribution.
(a) Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. Unless an optional form of benefit is selected pursuant to a Qualified Election within the 90-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date, a married Participant’s Merged Account will be paid in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and an unmarried Participant’s Merged Account will be paid in the form of a life annuity. The Participant may elect to have such annuity distributed upon attainment of the Earliest Retirement Age under the Plan.
(b) Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity. Unless an optional form of benefit has been selected within the Election Period pursuant to a Qualified Election, if a Participant dies before the Annuity Starting Date then the entire balance of the Participant’s Merged Account shall be applied toward the purchase of an annuity for the life of the Surviving Spouse. Such an annuity shall provide for annual payments to the Surviving Spouse and shall have a value that is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s non-forfeitable account balance, including the proceeds of any insurance on the Participant’s life, as of the date of the Participant’s death. Such Surviving Spouse may direct the Committee as to the commencement of payments under the Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity within a reasonable time after the death of the Participant. In addition, the Surviving Spouse may elect to waive the right to a survivor annuity and in lieu thereof, receive a lump sum distribution of the entire balance of the Participant’s Merged Account.
(c) Optional Form of Benefit. During the election period, a Participant may, pursuant to a Qualified Election, select as an optional form of benefit in lieu of an annuity form of distribution either one of the following forms of distribution: (i) a series of substantially equal annual or more frequent installments over a period certain
not extending beyond the earlier of (1) the end of the period measured by the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and his Spouse, or (2) twenty years; or (ii) a lump sum distribution in accordance with subsection 9.6(a). In addition, a Participant shall be entitled to elect any additional optional form of benefit provided by a transferor plan and which is a protected benefit under Code Section 411(d)(6).
(d) For purposes of this Section 9.12, the following definitions shall
apply:
(i) Election Period. The period which begins on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35 and ends on the date of the Participant’s death. If a Participant separates from Service prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which age 35 is attained, the election period shall begin on the Participant’s Severance Date. A Participant who will not yet attain age 35 as of the end of any current Plan Year may make a special Qualified Election to waive the Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity for the period beginning on the day of such election and ending on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant will attain age 35. Such election shall not be valid unless the Participant receives a written explanation of the Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity in such terms as are comparable to the Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity explanation required under subsection 9.12(b). Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity coverage will be automatically reinstated as of the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35. Any new waiver on or after such date shall be subject to the full requirements of this Section 9.12.
(ii) Earliest Retirement Age. The earliest date on which, under the Plan, the Participant could elect to receive retirement benefits.
(iii) Qualified Election. A waiver of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or a Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity shall not be effective unless (1) the Participant’s Spouse consents in writing to the election; (2) the election designates a specific Beneficiary, including any class of Beneficiaries or any contingent Beneficiaries, which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent); (3) the Spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of the election; and (4) the Spouse’s consent is witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public. Additionally, a Participant’s waiver of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall not be effective unless the election designates a form of benefit payment which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent). If it is established to the satisfaction of a Plan representative that there is no Spouse or that the Spouse cannot be located, a waiver will be deemed a qualified election.
Any consent obtained under this provision (or establishment that the consent of a Spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective only with respect to such Spouse. A consent that permits designations by the Participant
without any requirement of further consent by such Spouse must acknowledge that the Spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific Beneficiary, and a specific form of benefit where applicable, and that the
Spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either or both of such rights. A revocation of a prior waiver may be made by a Participant without the consent of the Spouse at any time before the commencement of benefits. The number of revocations shall not be limited. No consent obtained under this provision shall be valid unless the Participant has received notice as provided in subsection 9.12(e) below.
(iv) Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. An immediate annuity for the life of the Participant with a survivor annuity for the life of the Spouse which is not less than 50% and not more than 100% of the amount of the annuity which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the Spouse and which is the amount of benefit which can be purchased with the Participant’s Merged Account. The percentage of the survivor annuity shall be either 50% (which shall be the automatic form) or 100%, as selected by the Participant.
(v) Annuity Starting Date. The first day of the first period for which an amount is payable as an annuity or any other form.
(e) Notice Requirements.
(i) In the case of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, the Committee shall no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days prior to the Annuity Starting Date provide each Participant a written explanation of: (1) the terms and conditions of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; (2) the Participant’s right to make and the effect of an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity form of benefit; (3) the rights of a Participant’s Spouse; and (4) the right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a previous election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.
(ii) In the case of a Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity as described in subsection 9.12(b), the Committee shall provide each Participant within the applicable period for such Participant a written explanation of the Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity in such terms and in such manner as would be comparable to the explanation provided for meeting the requirements of subsection 9.12(e)(i) applicable to a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. The applicable period for a Participant is whichever of the following periods ends last: (1) the period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 32 and ending with the close of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35; (2) a reasonable period ending after the individual becomes a Participant; or (3) a reasonable period ending after this Section 9.12 first applies to the Participant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice must be provided within a reasonable period ending after separation from Service in the case of a Participant who incurs a Severance before attaining age 35.
For purposes of the preceding paragraph, a reasonable period ending after the enumerated events described in clauses (2) and (3) of this subsection 9.12(e)(ii) is the end of the two-year period beginning one year prior to the date the applicable event occurs, and ending one year after that date. In the case of a Participant who separates from Service before the Plan Year in which age 35 is attained, notice shall be provided within the two-year period beginning one year prior to the Participant’s Severance Date and ending one year after such Severance Date. If such a Participant thereafter returns to employment with a Participating Employer, the applicable period for such Participant shall be redetermined.
9.13 Direct Transfer of Distribution.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee’s election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.
(b) Solely to the extent permitted in Code Sections 408A(c)(3)(B), 408A(d)(3), and 408A(e) and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, an eligible Participant may elect to roll over any portion of a distribution of his Account to a Roth IRA (as defined by Code Section 408A) in a “qualified rollover contribution” (as defined in Code Section 408A(e)), provided that the rollover requirements of Code Section 402(c) are met. The amount of the qualified rollover contribution that would be includible in the Participant’s gross income were it not part of a qualified rollover contribution shall be included in the Participant’s gross income in accordance with Code Section 408A(d)(3). In addition, the 10% penalty tax on early distributions from qualified retirement plans imposed by Code Section 72(t) shall not apply to qualified rollover contributions.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.13, solely to the extent permitted under Code Section 402(c)(11) and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, with respect to any portion of a distribution from the Plan on behalf of a deceased Participant, if a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer is made to an individual retirement plan described in Code Section 402(c)(8)(B)(i) or (ii), which individual retirement plan is established for the purposes of receiving the distribution on behalf of an individual who is a designated beneficiary (as defined by Code Section 401(a)(9)(E)) of the Participant and who is not the Surviving Spouse of the Participant, the transfer shall be treated as an Eligible Rollover Distribution for purposes of this Plan and Code Section 402(c). For purposes of this paragraph, to the extent provided in regulations or other guidance prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service under Code Section 402(c)(11), a
trust maintained for the benefit of one or more designated beneficiaries shall be treated in the same manner as a trust designated beneficiary.
(d) For purposes of this Section 9.13, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) Eligible Rollover Distribution. An Eligible Rollover Distribution is
any distribution of all or any portion of a Participant’s vested Account, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, made not less frequently than annually, for the life, or life expectancy, of the Participant or the Participant’s designated Beneficiary or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of 10 years or more; any distributions, to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); and any amount distributed on account of hardship. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because the portion consists of voluntary employee contributions that are not includible in gross income; provided, however, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b), a qualified retirement plan (either a defined contribution plan or a defined benefit plan) described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a), or an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred.
(ii) Eligible Retirement Plan. An Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a), an eligible deferred compensation plan described in Code Section 457(a), an eligible deferred compensation plan described in Code Section 457(b) that is maintained by an eligible employer described in Code Section 457(e)(1)(A) and that agrees to separately account for amounts rolled into such plan from this Plan, an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), or a Roth IRA if the rollover requirements of Code Sections 402(c) and 408A (as applicable) are met, that accepts the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Eligible Rollover Distribution.
(iii) Distributee. A Distributee is an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s Surviving Spouse and the Employee’s former Spouse who is the alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), are Distributees with regard to the interest of the Spouse or former Spouse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with subsection 9.13(c), a designated beneficiary of the Participant who is not the Surviving Spouse of the Participant is also a Distributee.
(iv) Direct Rollover. A Direct Rollover is a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to distributions from a Participant’s Roth Accounts, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be considered an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because such portion is not includable in the Distributee’s gross income (determined without regard to the rollover). However, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such portion may be transferred only to a Roth IRA or transferred in a direct trustee to trustee transfer to a designated Roth account under a qualified defined contribution plan described in Code Section 401(a) that agrees (in a form satisfactory to the Committee) to separately account for the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. Within a reasonable time after the occurrence of a Direct Rollover of a distribution from a Participant’s Roth Accounts under the Plan to a designated Roth account, the Committee shall provide to the Distributee a statement indicating the first year of the Five-Taxable-Year Period for the Distributee and the portion of such distribution that is non-taxable. If the distribution is not a Direct Rollover to a designated Roth account, the beginning date of the Five-Year-Taxable Period cannot be carried over to a designated Roth account. The Plan Administrator shall, within a reasonable time after the Distributee’s request, provide to the Distributee a statement indicating the beginning date of the Five-Taxable-Year Period and the portion of such distribution that is non-taxable.
ARTICLE X VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS
For purposes of payment of a Participant’s Distributable Benefit following a Severance for any reason or any other distributions or withdrawals under this Plan, the value of a Participant’s Accounts shall be determined in accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee, subject, however, to the following provisions:
(a) Subject to subsection 10(b) below, in the case of Normal Retirement or other Severance including death or Total and Permanent Disability, the value of a Participant’s Accounts under the Plan shall be determined by reference to the Valuation Date immediately following both (i) the occurrence of an event entitling the Participant to a distribution, and (ii) the receipt by the Committee of the completed application of the Participant (or his Beneficiary) for payment of the Participant’s Distributable Benefit with respect to such event.
(b) The value of a Participant’s Accounts shall be increased or decreased (as appropriate) by any contributions, withdrawals or distributions properly allocable under the terms of this Plan to his Accounts that occurred on or after the applicable Valuation Date or which, for any other reason were not otherwise reflected in the valuation of his Accounts on such Valuation Date.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, a Participant’s Accounts, to the extent held in the Perspecta Stock Fund, shall be distributed solely in shares of Stock (with
payment of cash in lieu of any fractional share), unless the Participant elects to receive the Participant’s entire distribution in cash. The number of shares so distributable shall be the number of shares credited to the Participant’s Accounts held in the Perspecta Stock Fund and such additional shares as may be purchased with the Participant’s allocable share of non-Stock assets of the Perspecta Stock Fund (the value of such non-Stock assets to be determined in accordance with principles consistent with subsections 10(a) and 10(b) above, and the number of shares to be purchased with such non-Stock assets to be determined in accordance with such rules of general application as the Committee may adopt from time to time). Similar provisions shall apply to a Participant’s Accounts held in the DXC Stock Fund.

taken by the Committee in its discretion, including but not limited to forfeiting amounts erroneously credited, reallocating such amounts among other Participants, or taking such other corrective action as is appropriate under the circumstances.

(a) Any review of an appeal of a denied claim must meet the following standards: the review does not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination; the review is conducted by an appropriate Named Fiduciary who is nether the party who made the initial adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the appeal nor a subordinate of such party; the review provides that the appropriate Named Fiduciary shall consult with health care professionals with appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment in deciding the appeal of an adverse benefit determination that is based in whole or in part on a medical judgment; and the review provides, upon the claimant’s request, for the identification of the medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained in connection with the claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the determination.
(b) The 90-day period described in Section 14.2 and subsection 14.3(a) above shall be shortened to 45 days. The 45-day period may be extended by an additional 30 days if the Disability Administrator determines the extension is necessary because of circumstances outside the Plan’s control, and the claimant is notified prior to the end of the initial 45-day period. If prior to the end of the 30-day extension period, the Plan Administrator determines that additional time is necessary, the period may be extended for a second 30-day period, provided the claimant is notified prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period and such notice specifies
the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Plan expects to render a decision.
(c) The 60-day period described in subsection 14.3(a) shall be extended to 180 days.
(d) The 60-day period described in subsection 14.3(c) above shall be shortened to 45 days. The 45-day period may be extended by an additional 45 days if the Disability Administrator determines the extension is necessary because of circumstances outside the Plan’s control, and the claimant is notified prior to the end of the initial 45-day period.
(e) With respect to any claim filed on or after April 2, 2018 based on a Total and Permanent Disability, the provisions of this Section 14.4(e) shall apply in addition to the other provisions of Section 14.4:
(i) The notice of denial of claimed benefits shall include:
(1) A discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following:
(A) The views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claim;
(B) The views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and
(C) A disability determination regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan made by the Social Security Administration.
(2) If the adverse benefit determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation will be provided free of charge upon request.
(3) Either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criterion of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or, alternatively, a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist.
(4) A statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon
request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits.
(ii) With respect to any appeal of a denied claim:
(1) Before the Plan can issue an adverse benefit determination on review on a disability benefit claim, the Disability Administrator shall provide the claimant, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the Plan (or at the direction of the Plan) in connection with the claim; such evidence shall be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.
(2) Before the Plan can issue an adverse benefit determination on review on a disability claim based on a new or additional rationale, the Disability Administrator shall provide the claimant, free of charge, with the rationale; the rationale shall be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.
(iii) The notice of the decision on appeal shall include:
(1) A discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following:
(A) The views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claim;
(B) The views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and
(C) A disability determination regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan made by the Social Security Administration.
(2) If the adverse benefit determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or
a statement that such explanation will be provided free of charge upon request.
(3) Either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criterion of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or, alternatively, a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criterion of the Plan do not exist.

LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS
15.1 General Rule.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 415 and the final regulations issued thereunder (which are hereby incorporated by reference), and except to the extent permitted under Code Section 414(v), if applicable, the total Annual Additions that may be contributed or allocated under this Plan to a Participant’s Accounts for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of:
(i) $56,000 (as adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as under Code Section 415(d)); or
(ii) 100% of the Participant’s 415 Compensation for such Limitation
Year.
The 415 Compensation limit referred to above shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code Section 401(h) or 419A(f)(2)) after separation from service that is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition.
(b) For purposes of this Article XV, the Company has elected a “Limitation Year” corresponding to the Plan Year.
15.2 Annual Additions. For purposes of Section 15.1, the term “Annual Additions” shall mean, for any Plan Year, the sum of (i) the amount credited to the Participant’s Accounts from Participating Employer contributions for such Plan Year, other than any amounts described in Code Section 414(v) and subsection 4.1(d) of the Plan; (ii) any Employee Contributions for the Plan Year; (iii) any amounts described in Code Section 415(l)(1) or 419A(d)(2); and (iv) any forfeitures described in subsection 9.5(a) of the Plan. The term “Employee Contributions,” for purposes of the preceding sentence, shall mean amounts considered contributed by the Employee and which do not qualify for tax deferral treatment under Code Section 402(e)(3).
15.3 Other Defined Contribution Plans. If a Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company is contributing to any other defined contribution plan (as defined in Code Section 414(i)) for its Employees, some or all of whom may be Participants in this Plan, then the total Annual Additions limits specified in Section 15.1 shall be adjusted as follows:
(a) First, if the Participant is participating in another tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by any Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company within the same Limitation Year, and the provisions of such other defined contribution plan explicitly require that the annual additions (within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(2)) of such defined contribution plan be reduced in such a situation, the otherwise applicable limitation on annual additions (within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(2)) under such other defined contribution plan
for that Limitation Year shall be first reduced by the amount of Annual Additions allocated under the Plan for that Limitation Year; and
(b) Second, the Annual Additions limits specified in Section 15.1 shall be reduced by the amount of any annual additions (within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(2)) a Participant receives as a participant in another tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by any Participating Employer or Affiliated Company, aside from such plans referenced in subsection 15.3(a).
15.4 Correction of Excess Annual Additions. If the limitations with respect to Annual Additions set forth in this Article XV are exceeded for any Participant, then the Plan shall correct such excess in accordance with the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS) as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2018-52 or any superseding guidance.
15.5 Correction of Excess Amounts. Any excess Compensation Deferral Contributions by a Participant and any excess Matching Contributions on behalf of a Participant for any Plan Year shall be corrected in a manner consistent with that described in Section 15.4.
15.6 Affiliated Company. For purposes of this Article XV, the status of an entity as an Affiliated Company shall be determined by reference to the percentage tests set forth in Code Section 415(h).
ARTICLE XVI
RESTRICTION ON ALIENATION
16.2 General Restrictions Against Alienation.
(a) The interest of any Participant or Beneficiary in the income, benefits, payments, claims or rights hereunder, or in the Trust Fund shall not in any event be subject to sale, assignment, hypothecation, or transfer. Each Participant and Beneficiary is prohibited from anticipating, encumbering, assigning, or in any manner alienating his interest under the Trust Fund, and is without power to do so, except as may otherwise be provided for in the Trust Agreement. The interest of any Participant or Beneficiary shall not be liable or subject to his debts, liabilities, or obligations, now contracted, or which may be subsequently contracted. The interest of any Participant or Beneficiary shall be free from all claims, liabilities, bankruptcy proceedings, or other legal process now or hereafter incurred or arising; and the interest or any part thereof, shall not be subject to any judgment rendered against the Participant or Beneficiary.
(b) In the event any person attempts to take any action contrary to this Article XVI, that action shall be void and the Company, a Participating Employer, the Committee, the Trustees and all Participants and their Beneficiaries, may disregard that action and are not in any manner bound thereby, and they, and each of them separately, shall suffer no liability for any disregard of that action, and shall be reimbursed on demand out of the Trust Fund for the amount of any loss, cost or expense incurred as a result of disregarding or of acting in disregard of that action.
(c) The preceding provisions of this Section 16.1 shall be interpreted and applied by the Committee in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(13) as construed and interpreted by authoritative judicial and administrative rulings and regulations.
16.2 Nonconforming Distributions Under Court Order.
(a) In the event that a court with jurisdiction over the Plan and the Trust Fund shall issue an order or render a judgment requiring that all or part of a Participant’s interest under the Plan and in the Trust Fund be paid to a Spouse, former Spouse and/or children of the Participant by reason of or in connection with the marital dissolution and/or marital separation of the Participant and the Spouse, and/or some other similar proceeding involving marital rights and property interests, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16.1, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, direct the applicable Trustee to comply with that court order or judgment and distribute assets of the Trust Fund in accordance therewith.
(b) The Committee’s decision with respect to compliance with any such court order or judgment shall be made in its absolute discretion and shall be binding upon the Trustee and all Participants and their Beneficiaries; provided, however, that the Committee in the exercise of its discretion shall not make payments in accordance with the terms of an order which is not a “qualified domestic relations order” or which the Committee determines would jeopardize the continued qualification of the Plan and Trust under Code Section 401.
(c) None of the Plan, the Company, a Participating Employer, the Committee or the Trustee shall be liable in any manner to any person, including any Participant or Beneficiary, for complying with any such court order or judgment.
(d) Nothing in this Section 16.2 shall be interpreted as placing upon the Company, a Participating Employer, the Committee or any Trustee any duty or obligation to comply with any such court order or judgment. The Committee may, if in its absolute discretion it deems it to be in the best interests of the Plan and the Participants, determine that any such court order or judgment shall be resisted by means of judicial appeal or other available judicial remedy, and in that event the Trustee shall act in accordance with the Committee’s directions.
(e) The Committee shall adopt procedures and provide notifications to a Participant and alternate payees in connection with a “qualified domestic relations order,” to the extent required under Code Section 414(p). No domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B), shall be qualified unless it complies with all applicable provisions of the Plan concerning mode of payment and manner of elections.
ARTICLE XVII PLAN AMENDMENTS
17.1 Amendments. The Company may at any time, and from time to time, amend in whole or in part any or all of the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall be made at any time, the effect of which would be:

(b) To have any retroactive effect so as to deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any Vested Interest to which he would be entitled under this Plan if his employment were terminated immediately before the amendment, to the extent so doing would contravene Code Section 411(d)(6);

These forfeitures shall be disposed of according to rules prescribed by the Committee, which rules shall be consistent with applicable law.
(iv) The Committee shall prescribe such rules as it may deem necessary or appropriate with respect to the notice and forfeiture rules stated above.
(e) Should it be determined that the preceding rules relating to forfeiture of benefits upon Plan termination are inconsistent with any of the provisions of the Code and/or ERISA, such provisions shall become inoperative without the need for a Plan amendment and the Committee shall prescribe rules that are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Code and/or ERISA.

ARTICLE XIX
TOP-HEAVY PLAN RULES
19.1 Application of Article XIX.
(a) This Article XIX shall apply only if the Plan is Top-Heavy, as defined below. If, as of any Top-Heavy Determination Date, as defined below, the Plan is Top- Heavy, the provisions of Section 19.4 shall take effect as of the first day of the Plan Year next following the Top-Heavy Determination Date and shall continue to be in effect until the first day of any subsequent Plan Year following a Top-Heavy Determination Date as of which it is determined that the Plan is no longer Top-Heavy.
(b) For purpose of determining whether the Plan is Top-Heavy in any given year, Catch-up Contributions for that Plan Year shall not be taken into account. However, Catch-up Contributions for prior years shall be taken into account. Thus, Catch-up Contributions from prior years shall be included in the accrued benefit that is used to determine whether the Plan is Top-Heavy under Section 19.3. This paragraph is intended to comply with Code Section 414(v) and shall be interpreted to comply therewith, and with any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder.
19.2 Definitions Concerning Top-Heavy Status.
In addition to the definitions set forth in Article II, the following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Article XIX, and shall be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 416 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder:
(a) “Aggregation Group” means a group of Employer Plans consisting of each Employer Plan in the Required Aggregation Group and each other Employer Plan selected by the Company for inclusion in the Aggregation Group that would not, by its inclusion, prevent the group of Employer Plans included in the Aggregation Group from continuing to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410.
(b) “Annual Compensation” means, for any Plan Year, Compensation as defined in Section 2.29 for such Plan Year.
(c) “Employer Plan” means any tax-qualified plan of the Company.
(d) “Key Employee” means any employee of the Company who satisfies the criteria set forth in Code Section 416(i)(1).
(e) “Required Aggregation Group” means one of more Employer Plans comprising each Employer Plan in which a Key Employee is a participant and each Employer Plan that enables any Company Plan in which a Key Employee is a participant to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410.
(f) “Top-Heavy” means the Plan is included in an Aggregation Group under which, as of the Top-Heavy Determination Date, the sum of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits of the Key Employees under all defined benefit plans in the
Aggregation Group and the aggregate value of the accounts (excluding Rollover Accounts, except to the extent permitted by applicable Treasury Regulations) of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans in the Aggregation Group exceeds 60 percent of the analogous sum determined for all employees. The determination of whether the Plan is Top-Heavy shall be made in accordance with Code Section 416(g) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(g) “Top-Heavy Determination Date” means the December 31 immediately preceding the Plan Year for which the determination is made.
(h) “Top-Heavy Ratio” means the percentage calculated in accordance with subsection 19.2(f) and Code Section 416(g)(2) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(i) “Top-Heavy Year” means a Plan Year for which the Plan is Top-Heavy.
19.3 Calculation of Top-Heavy Ratio.
The Top-Heavy Ratio with respect to any Plan Year shall be determined in accordance with the following rules:
(a) Determination of Accrued Benefits. The accrued benefit of any current Participant shall be calculated, as of the most recent valuation date that is within a 12- month period ending on the Top-Heavy Determination Date, as if the Participant had voluntarily terminated employment as of such valuation date. Such valuation date shall be the same valuation date used for computing plan costs for purposes of the minimum funding provisions of Code Section 412.
(b) Aggregation. The Plan shall be aggregated with all Employer Plans included in the Aggregation Group.
19.4 Effect of Top-Heavy Status.
(a) Minimum Contribution. Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Plan, and subject to the provisions of this subsection 19.4(a) as of the last day of each Top-Heavy Year, the Employer and all Affiliated Companies shall make, for each Participant who is not a Key Employee (without regard to such Participant’s Hours of Service or level of Compensation), (1) the Company contributions they otherwise would have made under the Plan for such Top-Heavy Year, or if greater, (2) contributions for such Top-Heavy Year that, when added to the contributions made by the Company for such Participant (and any forfeitures allocated to his account) for such Top-Heavy Year under all other defined contribution plans for the Company, aggregate the lesser of (x) three percent of his Annual Compensation or (y) the percentage at which contributions (including Compensation Deferral Contributions or other contributions attributable to a salary reduction or similar arrangement) are made for the Key Employee for whom such percentage is the highest for the Top-Heavy Year. For purposes of this subsection 19.4(a):
(i) Compensation Deferral Contributions and other contributions attributable to a salary reduction or similar arrangement to such plans shall not be used to meet the requirements of this subsection 19.4(a);
(ii) Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the requirements of this subsection 19.4(a); and
(iii) Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the requirements of this subsection 19.4(a) shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the Actual Contribution Percentage test and other requirements of Code Section 401(m).
(b) Accelerated Vesting. A Participant who has completed at least three Years of Service and who is credited with an Hour of Service in a Top-Heavy Year shall have a nonforfeitable interest in his Accounts as of the last day of any Top-Heavy Year. For purposes of determining whether the Participant’s interest in his Accounts is nonforfeitable under the preceding sentence, Code Sections 411(a)(3)(B) and (a)(3)(D) (relating to suspension of benefits and forfeitures upon withdrawal of mandatory contributions, respectively) shall not apply.
19.5 Effect of Discontinuance of Top-Heavy Status.
If, for any Plan Year after a Top-Heavy Year, the Plan is no longer Top-Heavy, the provisions of Section 19.4 shall not apply with respect to such Plan Year, except that:
(a) The accrued benefit of any Participant shall not be reduced on account of the operation of this Section 19.5;
(b) Each Participant shall remain fully vested in any portion of the Participant’s accrued benefit that was fully vested before the Plan ceased to be Top-Heavy; and
(c) Any Participant who was a Participant in a Top-Heavy Year and who has completed at least three Years of Service as of the first day of the Plan Year in which the Plan is no longer Top-Heavy may elect to remain subject to the provisions of Section 19.4(b).
19.6 Intent of Article XIX.
This Article XIX is intended to satisfy the requirements imposed by Code Section 416 and shall be construed in a manner that shall effectuate this intent. This Article XIX shall not be construed in a manner that would impose requirements on the Plan that are more stringent than those imposed by Code Section 416.
ARTICLE XX
ESOP
“Stock” in this Article refers to both Perspecta Stock and DXC Stock. When the DXC Stock Fund ceases to exist, “Stock” in this Article shall refer only to Perspecta Stock. The provisions of this Article XX shall cease to apply upon the liquidation of the Perspecta Stock Fund and the DXC Stock Fund in accordance with Section 7.2.
20.1 ESOP Accounts. It is intended that the Accounts held in the Trust Fund in Stock under the Plan in both the Perspecta Stock Fund and the DXC Stock Fund shall constitute a separate Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e)(7) with respect to Participants who are currently or were formerly employed by a Participating Employer with respect to which Stock is considered to be “Employer Securities” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409(l); provided, however, that a Participant who is employed by a Participating Employer or Affiliated Company or is a member of a designated employee group (in both cases as set forth in Appendix I hereof) shall not be considered a Participant in the ESOP during the time period he is employed by such ineligible employer or is a member of such ineligible group but only with respect to contributions or accretions to his Account occurring during such period of ineligibility. A Participant in the ESOP who ceases to be eligible for the ESOP due to the transfer of his employment to an employer that fails to be a Participating Employer with respect to which Stock is considered to be “Employer Securities” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409(l) or that is excluded from participation in the ESOP under Appendix I hereof shall continue to be a Participant in the ESOP with respect to his Account balance held in the Perspecta Stock Fund or DXC Stock Fund prior to the date on which his employment transfer caused such Participant to cease to be eligible for the ESOP. However, contributions (and earnings and gains thereon) made to the Plan on behalf of a transferred Participant on or after the date on which the Participant ceases to be eligible for the ESOP shall not become part of the ESOP during any period in which the Participant remains employed by an ineligible employer or is a member of an ineligible group in accordance with Appendix I hereof or is otherwise excludable from the ESOP with respect to post-transfer contributions and earnings. Assets held in the ESOP shall be invested primarily in Stock in accordance Code Section 4975(e)(7). Except as otherwise provided in this Article XX, the provisions of the Plan shall apply to and are made a part of the ESOP. A Beneficiary of a Participant in the ESOP whose Account balance was considered to be part of the ESOP as of the Participant’s death shall also be considered a Participant in the ESOP to the extent such Account balance (including reinvested dividends on Stock in the Perspecta Stock Fund or DXC Stock Fund) remains in the Perspecta Stock Fund (or DXC Stock Fund) following the Participant’s death. An alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), whose Account balance was considered to be part of the ESOP as of the effective date of the qualified domestic relations order shall also be considered a Participant in the ESOP to the extent such Account balance (including reinvested dividends on Stock in the Perspecta Stock Fund or DXC Stock Fund) remains in the Perspecta Stock Fund (or DXC Stock Fund) following the effective date of the qualified domestic relations order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the DXC Stock Fund is intended to be part of the ESOP solely for purposes of continuing the Participant opportunity for the dividend (and company deductions) feature of Plan Section 20.4 and shall be administered with this intention.
20.2 Exempt Loan. In the event the ESOP enters into an exempt loan, the following
provisions shall apply:
(a) The proceeds of such exempt loan shall be used (i) to acquire Qualifying Employer Securities, (ii) to repay such loan, and/or (iii) to repay a prior exempt loan. No security acquired with the proceeds of an exempt loan may be subject to a put, call or other option, or buy-sell or similar arrangement while held by and when distributed from the ESOP. The terms of each exempt loan shall meet the applicable requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 54.4975-7(b), including the requirements: (1) that the loan bear a reasonable rate of interest, be for a definite period (rather than payable on demand), and be without recourse against the Plan, and (2) that the only assets of the Plan that may be given as collateral is Stock purchased with the proceeds of that loan or with the proceeds of a prior exempt loan. The interest rate of an exempt loan and the price of the securities to be acquired with the proceeds of an exempt loan may not be such that plan assets are drained off. An exempt loan must be primarily for the benefit of the Participants and Beneficiaries of the Plan. Proceeds of an exempt loan must be used within a reasonable time to acquire Perspecta Stock, to repay the exempt loan, or to repay a prior exempt loan. No person entitled to payment under an exempt loan shall have any right to assets of the ESOP other than collateral given for the exempt loan, contributions (other than contributions of Perspecta Stock) made to repay such exempt loan, and earnings attributable to such collateral and the investment of such contributions. Payments made with respect to an exempt loan during a Plan Year must not exceed an amount equal to the sum of such contributions and earnings during such Plan Year less such payments in prior years. Such contributions and earnings must be accounted for separately in the books of account of the ESOP until the exempt loan is repaid. In the event of a default on an exempt loan, the assets transferred from the Plan may not exceed the amount of the default. If the lender is a disqualified person, the assets transferred may not exceed the amount then due under the payment schedule of the exempt loan. In the event that a Participant incurs a forfeiture, assets in the Participant's Accounts other than Stock acquired with an exempt loan will be forfeited before such Stock is forfeited.
(b) Put Options. The Company shall issue a “Put Option” to each Participant (or each Participant’s Beneficiary) who receives a distribution of Stock if, at the time of such distribution, Stock is not then readily tradable on an established market, as defined in Code Section 409(h) and the regulations thereunder. The Put Option shall permit the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary) to sell such Stock at its then fair market, as determined by an independent appraiser in accordance with the provisions of subsection 20.2(e)(iv), to the Company at any time during the sixty-day period commencing on the date the Stock was distributed to the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary), and, if not exercised within that period, the Put Option will temporarily lapse. The Plan Administrator shall extend the sixty-day period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence if such an extension is necessary in order for the Stock to be valued by an independent appraiser as of the applicable Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date the Stock was distributed to the recipient. As of the annual Valuation Date coincident with or immediately following the Plan Year in which such temporary lapse of the Put Option occurs, the independent appraiser shall determine the value of the Stock in accordance with the provisions of subsection 20.2(e)(iv), and the Plan Administrator shall notify each distribute who did not exercise the initial Put Option prior to its temporary lapse in the preceding Plan Year of the revised value of the Stock. The time during which the Put Option may be exercised shall
recommence on the date such notice or revaluation is given in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which such temporary lapse occurred and shall permanently terminate sixty days thereafter. The Trustee may be permitted by the Company to purchase Stock put to the Company under a Put Option. Payment for Stock sold pursuant to a Put Option shall be made, as determined in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, in the following forms:
(i) If a Participant’s Account invested in the ESOP is distributed in a total distribution (that is, a distribution within one taxable year of the balance to the credit of the Participant’s Account invested in the ESOP), then payment for such Stock may be made with a promissory note that provides for substantially equal annual installments commencing within 30 days from the date of the exercise of the Put Option and over a period not exceeding five years, with interest payable at a reasonable rate (as determined by the Plan Administrator) on any unpaid installment balance, with adequate security provided, and without penalty for any prepayment of such installments; or
(ii) In a lump sum no later than 30 days after such Participant exercises the Put Option.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section, no shares of Stock held or distributed by the Trustee may be subject to a put, call or other option, or buy-sell or similar arrangement. The provisions of this Section are non-terminable and shall continue to be applicable to shares of Stock even if the Accounts held in the Trust Fund in Stock under the Plan cease to be an ESOP within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e)(7).
(c) The rights and protections as stated in subsections 20.2(a) and (b) are non- terminable.
(d) All assets acquired by the ESOP with the proceeds of an exempt loan will be added to and maintained in a suspense account. Stock acquired through an exempt loan shall be released from the suspense account as the exempt loan is repaid. For each Plan Year until the exempt loan is fully repaid, the number of shares of Stock released from the suspense account shall equal the number of unreleased shares immediately before such release for the current Plan Year multiplied by the “Release Fraction.” As used herein, the Release Fraction shall be a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of principal and interest paid on the exempt loan for such current Plan Year and the denominator of which is the sum of the numerator plus the principal and interest to be paid on such exempt loan for all future years during the duration of the term of such loan (determined without reference to any possible extensions or renewals thereof).
(e) Allocations, Forfeitures and Valuations.
(i) As at the end of each Plan Year, the ESOP must consistently allocate to the Participant’s Accounts non-monetary units representing Participants’ interests in assets withdrawn from the suspense account.
(ii) Interest with respect to securities acquired with the proceeds of an exempt loan must be allocated as income of the ESOP, except to the extent that the ESOP provides for the use of income from such securities to repay the loan.
(iii) If a portion of a Participant’s Account is forfeited, qualifying Company securities allocated under this subsection 20.2(e) must be forfeited only after other assets.
(iv) Valuations must be made in good faith and based on fair market value. The fair market value of Company securities that are not readily tradable on an established securities market shall be determined by an independent appraiser, as defined in Code Section 401(a)(28)(C), in accordance with the provisions of ERISA Section 3(18). In the case of a transaction between the Plan and a disqualified person as described in Code Section 4975(e)(2), value must be determined as of the date of the transaction.
(v) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if shares of Stock are sold to the Plan by a shareholder in a transaction for which special tax treatment is elected by such shareholder (or his representative) pursuant to Code Section 1042, no allocation of such shares (or other assets in lieu thereof) may accrue or be allocated directly or indirectly under any plan of the Company meeting the requirements of Code Section 401(a) to the Accounts of:
(1) any person who owns (after the application of Code Section 318(a)) more than (A) 25 percent of any class of the outstanding stock of the companies included in a controlled group of corporations, within the meaning of Code Section 414(b), that includes the Company, or (B) the total value of any class of outstanding stock of any such company; or
(2) during the Nonallocation Period, any person who sold shares to the Plan, and any person who is related to such shareholder (within the meaning of Code Section 267(b)), but excluding lineal descendants of such shareholder as long as no more than 5 percent of the aggregate amount of all Stock sold by such shareholder or any other relative of the lineal descendant in a transaction to which Code Section 1042 applies is allocated to lineal descendants of such shareholder during the Nonallocation Period.
(3) The term “Nonallocation Period” means the period beginning on the date of sale and ending on the later of ten years after the date of sale or the date of the allocation attributable to the final payment on the exempt loan incurred with respect to the sale. An election under Code Section 1042 may not be made if the Company is an S corporation at the time of sale, but if such an election is made for a time when the Company is a C corporation the restrictions of this subsection shall continue to apply if the Company becomes an S corporation.
(f) Accounts are Distributable Only in Stock. If securities acquired with the proceeds of an exempt loan available for distribution consist of more than one class, a
Distributee must receive substantially the same proportion of each such class. In the event such distributable securities are not readily tradeable on an established market, a Participant has the right to require the Company to repurchase such securities within the time periods and in accordance with the methods described in Code Sections 409(h)(5) and (6). Income held by the ESOP for a 2-year period or longer must be distributed under the rule described in the first sentence of this subsection 20.2(f).
20.3 Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, any portion of a Participant’s Accounts attributable to Stock acquired by the ESOP which has not been invested in accordance with Section 7.3 shall, at the election of the Participant and his Spouse (if required under subsection 9.4(b)(i)), be distributed not later than one (1) year after the close of the Plan Year (i) in which occurs the Participant’s Severance by reason of attainment of Normal Retirement Date, Total and Permanent Disability, or death, or (ii) which is the fifth Plan Year following the Plan Year in which occurs the Participant’s Severance for any reason other than those listed under (i) above, provided that the Participant is not reemployed prior to the close of such fifth Plan Year. It is intended that this Section 20.3 complies with the distribution rule set forth in Code Section 409(o)(1) with respect to amounts invested in the ESOP.
20.4 Treatment of Dividends. Whenever cash dividends are declared in respect of Stock held by the ESOP, Participants who are considered to be Participants in the ESOP on the dividends record date may make an election in respect of Stock deemed to be held in their Accounts under the ESOP no later than the ex-dividend date either to receive such dividends in a cash distribution from the ESOP or to have such dividends reinvested for their benefit in Stock to be held in the Perspecta Stock Fund (or DXC Stock Fund) of the ESOP. Such election shall be offered and administered in accordance with Code Section 404(k)(2)(A)(iii), related Treasury Regulations and other official IRS guidance, including IRS Notice 2002-2. Participants who fail to make an affirmative election to receive a cash distribution of dividends shall be deemed to have made an election to have such dividends reinvested for their benefit in Stock to be held in the Perspecta Stock Fund (or DXC Stock Fund) of the ESOP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, dividends paid in respect of Stock held by the ESOP shall be fully vested at all times. Dividends paid in respect of Stock held by the ESOP shall be distributed to Participants or reinvested as soon as practicable following the dividends payment date in accordance with the election procedure described herein. Such dividends shall not be subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Code, including Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(k), 401(m), 410(b), shall not be considered Annual Additions for purposes of Code Section 415 nor shall they be subject to the top-heavy rules of Code Section 416. For purposes of this Section 20.4, a Beneficiary or an alternate payee described in Section 20.1 of the Plan shall be eligible to make the election described herein with respect to Stock held in the Beneficiary’s Account that is considered to be part of the ESOP no later than the ex-dividend date.
ARTICLE XXI
AFTER-TAX MERGED ACCOUNTS

21.2 After-Tax Merged Account. In addition to the Accounts defined in Section 2.1 of this Plan, there is hereby created an additional Account to be known as an “After-Tax Merged Account,” which shall mean the account established and maintained for a Participant to record amounts held in the Trust Fund which are attributable to Participant transfer contributions or plan to plan transfers of after-tax employee contribution account balances of such Participant. The provisions of this Plan applicable to a Merged Account shall apply also to an After-Tax Merged Account.
21.3 Withdrawals. While still an Employee, a Participant may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Committee, make a withdrawal from his After-Tax Merged Account of any amount up to the entire amount thereof. The maximum amount subject to withdrawal under this Section 21.3 shall be determined as of the Valuation Date immediately following the Committee’s determination authorizing the withdrawal. A Participant who makes a withdrawal under this Section 21.3 shall not be eligible to again make a withdrawal under this Section 21.3 prior to the first anniversary of the date the Participant’s most recent withdrawal under this Section 21.3 was distributed to him.
21.4 Effect on Other Plan Provisions.
