In addition to Participant deferrals pursuant to Section 5.1, the Employer may, in its sole discretion, make contributions to the Plan for the benefit of any or all Participants in any Plan Year, based upon the performance of the Employer or of the Participant(s) in question, or such other and further criteria as the Employer may deem appropriate. Such contributions may take the form of matching contributions based upon the Participant's deferral election, and may become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with a schedule different from that applicable to the Participant's deferrals, all as from time to time stipulated by the Employer at the time such contributions are determined. 5.5 FULL FUNDING UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Employer shall, as soon as possible (but in no event more than thirty (30) days) - 7 - <Page> following a Change of Control, as hereinafter defined, irrevocably set aside and contribute to a trust fund, irrevocable letter of credit or other funding arrangement providing comparable security to Plan Participants and Beneficiaries and established for this purpose, an amount sufficient to pay each Plan Participant or Beneficiary the benefits to which Plan Participants or their Beneficiaries would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plan as of the date on which the Change of Control occurred. For purposes hereof, "Change of Control" shall mean (i) the purchase or other acquisition by any person, entity or group of persons, within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") or any comparable successor provisions, of "beneficial ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act) of thirty percent (30%) or more of either the outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of Keane, Inc. entitled to vote generally; (ii) such time as the Continuing Directors (as defined below) do not constitute a majority of the Board (or, if applicable, the Board of Directors of a successor corporation to Keane, Inc.), where the term "Continuing Director" means at any date a member of the Board (x) who was a member of the Board on the date of the initial adoption of this Plan by the Board or (y) who was nominated or elected subsquent to such date by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or election or whose election to the Board was recommended or endorsed by at least a majority of the directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or election; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that there shall be excluded from this clause (y) any individual whose initial assumption of office occurred as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents, by or on behalf of a - 8 - <Page> person other than the Board; (iii) the approval by the stockholders of Keane, Inc. of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization or share exchange involving Keane, Inc. in each case, with respect to which persons who were stockholders of Keane, Inc. immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization or share exchange do not, immediately thereafter, own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the then outstanding securities of the reorganized, merged, or consolidated Keane, Inc. (or the legal successor(s) thereto); or (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of Keane, Inc. or of the sale of all or substantially all of its assets. ARTICLE 6 ACCOUNTS AND CREDITS 6.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNT. For accounting and computational purposes only, the Employer shall establish and maintain for each Participant an Account to which credits and charges shall be made as provided hereunder, which shall remain part of the general assets of the Employer. Each Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan holds only the status of a general creditor of the Employer (e.g., in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Employer) and shall have no right to receive any specific Account balance or Plan asset. 6.2 CREDITS TO THE ACCOUNT. The amount a Participant elects to defer pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof shall be credited ratably to the Participant's Account as soon as administratively feasible and normally within five (5) business days after the time the Salary or Bonus would otherwise have been payable to the Participant but for his election to defer. Employer contributions pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof will be credited to the Participant's - 9 - <Page> Account as stipulated by the Employer at the time such contributions are determined. Each Participant's Account will also be credited with earnings as determined under Article 6.4 hereof. A Participant shall not have any right to receive any current or accumulated deferred compensation or earnings until such time as determined under Article 7 of the Plan. 6.3 INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS CREDITED TO THE ACCOUNT. It is intended that the Employer shall invest the amounts credited to Participant Accounts from time to time in investments determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. For purposes of measuring the investment returns of his Account a Participant may select, by an investment designation on a form provided by the Committee, or in such other manner as the Committee may from time to time designate, from one or more benchmark investment funds chosen by the Committee, in which such Accounts are deemed to be invested. The deferrals and contributions pertaining to each Plan Year may be allocated separately for this purpose. Investment allocations may be changed monthly in increments of one full percentage point (1%). Changes received by the Committee or its designee by the twenty-fifth (25th) day of any calendar month will be given effect as of the first business day of the calendar month following. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee in its sole discretion may from time to time change the benchmark investment funds available under the Plan. 6.4 VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS. Each benchmark investment fund shall be valued daily, insofar as practicable, and the value of each Participant's Account shall be recorded monthly based on the amounts credited to such Account, the investment performance of the Account, any distributions made from such Account and any Plan expenses allocated by the Committee to such Account. The net investment earnings or loss credited to or deducted from each Participant's - 10 - <Page> Account shall reflect the net investment return (positive or negative) of the applicable benchmark investment funds selected by the Participant. In all cases a Participant's Account shall reflect net investment return through the last business day of the calendar month preceeding that which includes the date of distribution of amounts from such Account. 6.5 DECREASES IN ACCOUNT. A Participant's Account will be reduced by any benefits distributed to or on behalf of a Participant pursuant to Article 7. 6.6 PARTICIPANT STATEMENTS. The Committee shall provide statements to each Participant on at minimum an annual basis showing such information as is appropriate, including the aggregate amount in his Account as of a reasonably current date. 6.7 VESTING. Participants' interests in their respective Plan Accounts shall become vested and nonforfeitable as follows: (a) Participants' interests in their Account balances derived from elective deferrals and net investment returns attributable thereto shall at all times be fully vested and nonforfeitable. (b) Participants' interests in their Account balances derived from Employer contributions (including matching contributions) and net investment returns attributable thereto shall become vested and nonforfeitable in the manner prescribed by the Employer at such time as the contributions in question are determined, provided that if the Employer does not so prescribe the foregoing paragraph (a) shall apply to such interests. ARTICLE 7 AMOUNT AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS - 11 - <Page> 7.1 AMOUNT OF BENEFITS. Except as specifically provided in Article 8 hereof, the value of a Participant's Account, as determined under Article 6 hereof, shall determine and constitute the sole basis for the value of the benefits payable to the Participant under the Plan. 7.2 COMMENCEMENT OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS. Except as provided in this Article and in Article 8 hereof, the benefits payable to a Participant shall commence in accordance with the terms of the Participant's Deferral Agreements. The deferrals and contributions attributable to each Plan Year, and any net investment gains attributable thereto, may be distributed on a separate schedule. Distributions are taxable as ordinary income when received by the Participant or his Beneficiary. A Participant may elect to receive his vested Account balance attributable to a Plan Year upon termination, retirement or disability or at a specified future date while still employed by the Employer, all as provided in this Article. Any Participant who made a distribution election under the Plan as constituted prior to January 1, 2001 may on a one-time basis prior to December 15, 2000, elect to change the form of benefit payment. 7.3 FORM OF BENEFIT PAYMENT. Except as specifically provided in Article 8 hereof, the benefits payable to a Participant shall be paid as provided in this Article 7 and, to the extent consistent therewith, in the Participant's Deferral Agreement or Agreements. If a Participant's Deferral Agreement does not provide for a form of payment, the benefits attributable to such Deferral Agreement shall be paid as provided in Articles 7 and 8 hereof. 7.4 RETIREMENT OR OTHER TERMINATION OF SERVICE. The provisions of this Section 7.4 apply in the event of any termination of service with the Employer by a Participant other than due to death or disability, in which case the provisions of Article 8 hereof shall apply. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, a Participant's election in a Deferral Agreement to receive - 12 - <Page> the vested deferrals, contributions and net investment earnings attributable thereto with respect to a given Plan Year upon such termination of service shall be irrevocable. If termination occurs prior to Normal Retirement Age such distribution shall be in the form of a lump sum. If termination occurs at or after Normal Retirement Age the distribution will be made in accordance with the Participant's election in his original Deferral Agreement, provided that if no such designation is made distribution shall be in the form of a lump sum. The Participant may elect to receive his distribution in the form of a lump sum or in annual installments over five (5), ten (10) or fifteen (15) years following termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's vested Account balance is less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) at termination, distribution will be made in the form of a lump sum. Subject to the foregoing, the form or timing of a distribution may be changed by the Participant by giving written notice, upon a form to be provided by the Committee or its designee, to the Committee at least one (1) year prior to the date of the distribution. 7.5 SCHEDULED IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS. A Participant may elect to receive a Scheduled Distribution from his vested Plan Account while still employed by the Employer, provided that (a) no such Distribution may pertain to deferrals or contributions made with respect to Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2001; (b) such Distribution may not commence until the third Plan Year after the Plan Year in which the deferrals or contributions were made (e.g., until 2004 as to 2001 deferrals or contributions); and (c) the Distribution shall be in the form of a lump sum payable prior to the end of the first quarter of the Plan Year specified in the Scheduled Distribution election form (e.g., the first quarter of 2004, as to an election made as to 2001). A Scheduled Distribution may be postponed provided the Participant gives the Committee written - 13 - <Page> notice of his desire to do so at least one (1) year prior to the date that the Distribution was originally scheduled to be made. A Scheduled Distribution may not be postponed more than twice in this fashion. If the Participant terminates service with the Employer before or after his Normal Retirement Age, but prior to the date of his Scheduled Distribution, his entire vested Account balance (including any Scheduled Distributions) shall instead be distributed pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof. 7.6 HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS. A Participant may at any time apply to the Commitee for an immediate distribution of all or any portion of his vested Account balance in the event of hardship. Hardship Distributions shall be granted by the Committee only to the extent required to meet the hardship and only for the following reasons: (a) illness or accident suffered by the Participant or his spouse or dependent; (b) a casualty loss affecting the property of the Participant or his spouse or dependent; (c) other circumstances of similar character and magnitude arising from events beyond the control of the Participant. Any Participant claiming hardship status shall be required to submit documentation of the hardship, the amount of the Hardship Distribution required to alleviate the same and proof in form acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion that the hardship cannot be alleviated by other means, such as insurance coverage, available taxable or non-taxable withdrawals from the Employer's tax-qualified retirement plans or other resources reasonably available to the Participant. A Participant receiving a Hardship Distribution shall be ineligible to make an - 14 - <Page> elective deferral to the Plan for the remainder of the Plan Year in which the Distribution is made or the Plan Year following. 7.7 TAX WITHHOLDING. The Employer shall make whatever agreements are necessary to effectuate a timely and proper withholding (from the Account or otherwise) on account of any payments under the Plan that are subject to Federal, State and local income and employment tax withholding at the time of deferral or payment, as the case may be. - 15 - <Page> ARTICLE 8 DEATH AND DISABILITY BENEFITS 8.1 DEATH BENEFITS. 8.1.1 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. A Participant may, by written instrument delivered during his lifetime to the Employer, designate primary and contingent Beneficiaries to receive any benefit payments which may be payable hereunder following his death, and may designate the proportions in which such Beneficiaries are to receive such payments. A Participant may change such designations from time to time and the last written designation filed with the Employer prior to the Participant's death will control. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary or no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, or if all designated Beneficiaries who survive the Participant die before all payments are made, any remaining payments shall be made to the Participant's surviving spouse, if then living; or if not then living, to the then living issue of the Participant, if any, by right of representation, or if no such issue is then living, the legal representatives of the Participant's estate, all of whom shall be considered Beneficiaries of the Participant for purposes of this Plan. 8.1.2 DEATH BENEFITS. If a Participant dies while employed by the Employer, an amount equal to the greater of (1) his Insured Benefit hereunder, if any, or (2) his vested Account balance, determined in each case as of the date of death, will be paid to his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries as designated pursuant to Section 8.1.1 hereof, subject to ordinary income taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries of a Participant whose participation in the Plan began on January 1, 1998, and whose - 16 - <Page> termination of employment with the Employer is due to death shall be entitled to receive the greater of (i) such vested Account balance, or (ii) an insured Plan death benefit (the "Insured Death Benefit") equal to the difference between (a) the stated death benefit under any life insurance contract(s) purchased on the life of the Participant pursuant to the Plan, and (b) such vested Account balance. The Beneficiary or Beneficiaries of a Participant whose participation in the Plan began on January 1, 1999, and whose termination of employment with the Employer is due to death shall be entitled to receive an Insured Death Benefit based upon the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, as from time to time amended, provided that the insurance coverage required to fund such Insured Death Benefit has been procured and is in force upon the death of the Participant. Any Participant (a) whose participation in the Plan begins on January 1, 2000, or thereafter, (b) who on or after January 1, 2001 discontinues deferrals under the Plan, other than for the minimum period mandated under Section 7.6 hereof in the event of a Hardship Distribution or because the Participant has no compensation to defer (e.g., due to disability or unpaid leave of absence), or (c) whose employment with the Employer terminates prior to death, shall be entitled to no Insured Death Benefit under this Plan whatsoever. Any Insured Death Benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in accordance with the Participant's election or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in a single lump sum payable as soon as administratively possible following the death of the Participant. Any other death benefit shall be paid in the manner designated by the Participant in his Deferral Agreement or - 17 - <Page> Agreements or, if no such designation is made, in a single lump sum payable as soon as administratively possible following the death of the Participant. 8.1.3 DEATH FOLLOWING BENEFIT COMMENCEMENT. If a Participant dies after the date payment of benefits has commenced under the Plan, the Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall continue to receive payment of the balance credited to the Participant's Account as provided under the Participant's Deferral Agreement or Agreements, provided that within six (6) months following the death of the Participant any Beneficiary may apply to the Committee to change the form of distribution to any other form permitted under this Plan. 8.2 DISABILITY PRIOR TO BENEFIT COMMENCEMENT. Except as otherwise provided herein, if a Participant becomes Disabled before payment of benefits has commenced under the Plan, at the request of the Participant and in the sole discretion of the Committee the entire vested amount credited to the Participant's Account shall be paid to the Participant in five (5) substantially equal annual installments, payable as soon as administratively feasible following the determination by the Committee that the Participant is Disabled. Upon application by the Disabled Participant to the Committee within six (6) months after the date that the Participant becomes Disabled, any remaining installments may be distributed to the Participant over a period of ten (10) years or in a lump sum. If any distribution from the Plan shall have the effect of reducing disability benefits receivable by the Participant under any other policy, plan, program or arrangement, such distribution may be postponed at the election of the Participant. - 18 - <Page> ARTICLE 9 NO ASSIGNMENT OR ALIENATION Except to the extent set forth in Section 8.4, the interest hereunder of any Participant shall not be alienable by the Participant by assignment or any other method, and shall not be subject to be taken by his creditors by any process whatsoever; and any attempt to cause such interest to be so subjected shall not be recognized, except to such extent required by applicable law. ARTICLE 10 NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Employer and any Participant, or to be consideration for the employment of any Participant. Neither the action of establishing the Plan for the Employer nor any action taken by or on behalf of the Employer or by the Committee under the provisions hereof, nor any provision of the Plan, shall be construed as giving to any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Employer or any right to any payment whatsoever except to the extent of the benefits provided for by the Plan. The Employer expressly reserves its right at any time to dismiss any Participant or Employee without liability for any claim against the Employer or for any claim for any payment whatsoever, except to the extent provided for in the Plan. - 19 - <Page> ARTICLE 11 AMENDMENT/TERMINATION The Plan may be altered, amended, terminated or revoked in writing by the Committee with the consent of the Board of Directors of Keane, Inc. at any time; but no such action shall operate to reduce any Participant's vested Account balance below the vested amount credited to such Account immediately prior to such action. ARTICLE 12 CLAIMS PROCEDURES 12.1 GENERAL. Any claim for benefits under the Plan shall be filed by a Participant or Beneficiary (Claimant) of the Plan on the form prescribed for such purpose with the Committee, or in lieu thereof, by written communication which is made by the Claimant's authorized representative in a manner reasonably calculated to bring the claim to the attention of the Committee. 12.2 DENIALS.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN This First Amendment to the First Amendment and Restatement of the Keane, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan executed December 14, 2001 and effective January 1, 2002, by Keane, Inc., and the affiliates thereof hereunto set forth (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Employers"). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Employers, having heretofore adopted the Keane, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") for the benefit of certain management or highly-compensated employees, now wish to amend the provisions thereof in certain respects; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the execution of this First Amendment to the amended and restated Plan by the Employers, the Employers do hereby amend the provisions of the Plan as follows, effective as provided above: 1. Section 7.5 of the Plan shall be amended to provide as follows: "7.5 IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS. A Participant may elect to receive a Scheduled Distribution from his vested Plan Account while still employed by the Employer, provided that except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 7.5, (a) no such Distribution may pertain to deferrals or contributions made with respect to Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2001; (b) such Distribution may not commence until the third Plan Year after the Plan Year in which the deferrals or contributions were made (e.g., until 2004 as to 2001 deferrals or contributions); and (c) the Distribution shall be in the form of a lump sum payable prior to the end of the first quarter of the Plan Year specified in the Scheduled Distribution election form (e.g., the first quarter of 2004, as to an election made as to 2001). A Scheduled Distribution may be postponed provided the Participant gives the Committee written notice of his desire to do so at least one (1) year prior to the date that the Distribution was originally scheduled to be made. A Scheduled Distribution may not be postponed more than twice in this fashion. If the Participant terminates service with the Employer before or after his Normal Retirement Age, but prior to the date of his Scheduled Distribution, his entire vested Account balance (including any Scheduled Distributions) shall instead be distributed pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Participant who was a Participant in the Plan prior to January 1, 2001 may, by filing a written election in form acceptable to the Committee during the month of November, 2001, elect on a one-time basis to receive a Distribution of all or a portion of that portion of his vested Plan Account pertaining to deferrals or contributions made with respect to Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2001 (the "Pre-2001 Account Balance"), subject to the following provisions. The Participant may elect to receive one hundred percent (100%) of his Pre-2001 Account Balance or any lesser portion thereof which is a ten percent (10%) increment of such Balance. The Participant may elect to have such Distribution paid in one of the following forms: (i) a lump sum payable in March, 2003, or at any time thereafter, as specified by the Participant; or (ii) in three (3) or five (5) equal installments commencing in March, 2003 or at any time thereafter and continuing on an annual basis on the same date in the two (2) or four (4) ensuing calendar years, as the case may be, with the amount of such subsequent installments to be adjusted to reflect the investment performance of the Participant's undistributed Pre-2001 Account Balance in the interim. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, including, without limitation, Article 8 hereof, if a Participant elects to receive such a Distribution, the Stated Death Benefit, as defined in Section 8.1.2 hereof, taken into account for purposes of calculating the Death Benefit payable pursuant to Article 8 hereof in the event of the Participant's death after such Distribution takes <Page> place shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Stated Death Benefit which would otherwise be so taken into account, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto attached, multiplied by that percentage of his Pre-2001 Account Balance which the Participant elects to receive pursuant to this paragraph; provided that if the Participant elects to receive an installment Distribution pursuant to clause (ii) above, such reduction shall be prorated accordingly if the death of the Participant occurs after some, but fewer than all, of such installments have been paid. 2. Section 8.1.2 of the Plan shall be amended to provide as follows: 8.1.2. DEATH BENEFITS. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.5 hereof, if and to the extent applicable, the beneficiary or beneficiaries of a Participant whose participation in the Plan began on January 1, 1998, and whose termination of employment with the Employer is due to death shall be entitled to an insured Plan death benefit (the "Insured Death Benefit") equal to the difference between (a) the Stated Death Benefit, as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, and (b) the value of the life insurance contract(s) investment account(s); provided that if such Participant discontinues deferrals and does not resume them on or prior to January 1, 2000, no Insured Death Benefit shall be payable under this Plan upon the death of such Participant on or after such date. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.5 hereof, if and as applicable, the beneficiary or beneficiaries of a Participant whose participation in the Plan began on January 1, 1999, and whose termination of employment with the Employer is due to death shall be entitled to a Stated Death Benefit based upon the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, as from time to time amended, provided that the insurance coverage required to fund such Stated Death Benefit has been procured and is in force upon the death of the Participant; and further provided that if such Participant discontinues deferrals and does not resume them on or prior to January 1, 2000, no Stated Death Benefit shall be payable under this Plan upon the death of such Participant on or after such date. Any Participant whose participation in the Plan begins on January 1, 2000, or thereafter, and any Participant whose employment with the Employer terminates prior to death, shall be entitled to no Insured or Stated Death Benefit under this Plan. The beneficiary or beneficiaries of a deceased Participant shall be entitled to receive a Plan death benefit equal to the greater of (a) the Participant's Insured or Stated Death Benefit, if any, and as the case may be (as reduced pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof, if and to the extent applicable), or (b) the amount credited to the Participant's Account pursuant to Article 6 hereof as of the date of death. Any Insured or Stated Death Benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid to the Participant's beneficiary or beneficiaries in five (5) substantially equal annual installments or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in a single lump sum payable as soon as administratively possible following the death of the Participant." 3. Exhibit A to the Plan is hereby amended to provide as set forth in Exhibit A hereto attached and by this reference incorporated herein.
