PREAMBLE
Computer Data Systems, Inc. ("CDSI") established The Retirement Plan for Employees of Computer Data Systems, Inc. effective July 1, 1979 (the "Retirement Plan"), a tax-qualified defined contribution plan under Internal Revenue Code section 401(a) designed to provide participants with an additional source of retirement income through discretionary employer contributions. CDSI subsequently established The 401(k) Savings Plan for Employees of Computer Data Systems, Inc. effective July 1, 1988 (the "401(k) Plan"), a tax-qualified defined contribution plan under Internal Revenue Code section 401(a) with a salary reduction feature designed to allow participants to defer a portion of their income into the Plan. As an incentive for deferring the 401(k) Plan provides for a matching contribution. The 401(k) Plan also provided for supplemental employer contributions made for certain long-term employees under the CDSI's "10-year plan." In 1997, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. purchased CDSI. CDSI changed its name to ACS-Government Solutions Group ("ACS-GSG").
To simplify the administration of the plans, ACS-GSG merged the Retirement Plan into the 401(k) Plan in 1998. The 401(k) Plan, now known as The 401(k) Savings Plan for ACS-GSG (the "Plan"), is hereby amended and restated effective as of January 1, 1999 (except where an earlier date is indicated) to effectuate the merger and to comply with the requirements imposed by the Retirement Protection Act of 1994, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and other technical changes. In addition, contributions under the 10-year plan will cease for plan years after December 31, 1998.

and rules of interpretation shall apply:
(I) The determination year is the Plan Year for which the
determination of who is highly compensated is being
made.
(II) The look-back year is the twelve (12) month period
immediately preceding the determination year.
(III) The top-paid group consists of the top twenty percent

compensation received during the year. For purposes
of determining the number of employees in the
top-paid group, employees described in section
414(q)(5) of the Code and Q&A 9(b) of section

the Employer or a Related Employer who:
5 12

vacation or sickness) other than for the performance of
duties. No more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited
under this paragraph to an Employee on account of any single
continuous period during which the Employee performs no duties
(whether or not such period occurs in a single computation
period). No credit shall be given for hours for which no
duties are performed but for which payment by the Employer or
Related Employer is made or due under a plan maintained solely

credited both under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the
6 13
case may be, and under this paragraph (c). These hours shall
be credited to the Employee for the computation period or
periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather than
the computation period in which the award, agreement or
payment is made.
Effective as of October 13, 1996, Hour of Service shall also include a
military leave while the Employee's reemployment rights are protected
by law, or such additional or other periods as are granted by the
Employer as military leave, provided the Employee returns to employment
within ninety (90) days of the end of his military leave (or such
longer period of time as his reemployment rights are protected by law).
Hours under this paragraph shall be credited on the basis of the lesser
of (i) a forty (40) hour work week or applicable pro rata portion
thereof or (ii) his customarily scheduled work week or applicable pro
rata portion thereof. The same Hours of Service shall not be credited
under (a) - (c) above, as the case may be, and under this paragraph.
