I, the undersigned participant and “named fiduciary” in the Alion Science and Technology Corporation Employee Ownership, Savings and Investment Plan (Alion KSOP), hereby elect to direct, as indicated below, the investment of my existing account balance that is currently invested in the HFA401(k) plan to the ESOP component of the Alion KSOP, upon merger of the HFA401(k) plan and the Alion KSOP. |
If participants do not elect to invest sufficient funds during the one-time ESOP investment election period to close the acquisition, this form will be deemed void, and my funds will remain in the HFA401(k) plan, invested with Fidelity Investments according to my current investment direction. |
Furthermore, I understand that if the acquisition does close and the plans are merged, and I have not participated in the one-time ESOP investment election by completing this form, I may not direct any of my existing balance to the ESOP component and my entire account balance will be automatically directed to the non-ESOP component of the Alion KSOP, and invested in the Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market Fund. |
I also understand that any funds I direct to the ESOP component will be invested in the common stock of Alion Science and Technology, as described in the prospectus provided to me with this transfer form, and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the KSOP. |
By executing this form, I am acknowledging receipt of the prospectus and I am directing both the IITRI administrative committee, fiduciary for the HFA401(k) plan, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its capacity as trustee for the ESOP and the merged HFA401(k) plan to follow my instructions as indicated below in accordance with its duty under the terms of the KSOP and ERISA. |

Please designate the percentage that you wish to invest in whole numbers. For example, 70% would be valid; 70.6% or 70 1/2% would not be valid.
