POSITIONYou will be a Senior Consultant aligned to the Preserve Parkway office located at One Preserve Parkway,Suite 200, Rockville, Maryland 20852. Your team and/or contract may require you to work from a clientlocation. You will be aligned to the Analytics Capability and the Cloud Analytics Center of

Excellence. Your Career Manager will be Wendy Watson and your Principal will be Steven Escaravage.TOTAL REWARDSThe total value of a career at Booz Allen includes Compensation, Health & Wellness, Work-Life Balance,and Career Development. These rewards are outlined below. More specific information about benefits willbe made available to you after you accept this offer of employment.

Compensation

Salary• Your monthly starting salary will be $7,250.00, the equivalent of $87,000.00 if calculated annually.

Any future pay adjustments will be based upon your performance, the competitive market,promotions, and the firm’s salary budgets.

Retirement Benefits• The Employees’ Capital Accumulation Plan (ECAP) offers you an excellent opportunity to share in

the success of the firm and prepare for your financial future. ECAP is a tax-deferred, definedcontribution plan with two components: a profit sharing feature in which the firm makes acontribution and a voluntary 401(k) feature.

• Booz Allen typically makes an annual lump sum contribution to employees’ ECAP accounts. Whilecontributions are discretionary and subject to Board of Directors’ approval, the firm historically hasmade annual contributions of at least 10 percent of employees’ eligible compensation (defined assalary plus any bonuses).

• In addition, the firm traditionally has contributed 5.7 percent of any eligible compensation inexcess of the FICA wage base for the plan year ($110,100 for 2012).

• Employees become eligible to receive annual ECAP contributions on the first day of the monthfollowing their one-year anniversary with Booz Allen. The firm’s initial contributions will beprorated from the date through the remainder of the calendar year. Firm contributions typicallyare deposited shortly after December 31 each year.

• Firm contributions to your ECAP account are separate from the voluntary 401(k) portion—you willreceive an annual lump-sum deposit regardless of what you contribute to your 401(k). If your prioremployment terminated after you became a participant in ECAP, your eligibility date will be yourre-hire date, and your first contribution will be prorated from that date. In addition, if a portion ofyour ECAP account was not vested at the time of your departure and you return to work beforeyou incur five one-year breaks in service, a special firm contribution will be made to reinstate theforfeited amount. Prior years of service with the firm count towards your current vesting.

• The voluntary employee-funded 401(k) portion allows you to make pre-tax contributions to a

401(k) account and after-tax contributions to a Roth 401(k) account via convenient payrolldeductions. The combined amount of these contributions cannot exceed maximum annual IRSlimit ($17,000 for 2012).

• Your future annual 401(k) contributions may be limited to the lesser of 10 percent of your basesalary or the annual IRS contributions limit ($17,000 for 2012) if you are a highly compensatedemployee (HCE) as defined by the IRS (i.e. for 2012, the plan defines an HCE as someone withprior calendar year (2011) Booz Allen compensation of $110,000 or more).

• If you do not actively enroll or decline participation in the 401(k) feature of ECAP within 60 daysfrom your hire date, you will be automatically enrolled in the 401(k) at a pre-tax contribution rateof four percent of your eligible pay. During the first 60 days from your hire date, you may electyour contribution rate or elect not to contribute. If you do not elect or decline within this time

period, your automatic contributions of four percent will begin to be withheld from your paycheckfollowing the end of the opt-out period.
