Ladies and
Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby tenders to CGI Fairfax Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “CGI-Fairfax”) and a wholly
owned subsidiary of CGI Federal Inc., a Delaware corporation,
and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CGI Group Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of the Province of
Québec, Canada, the above described shares of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Stanley,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant
to CGI-Fairfax’s offer to purchase (the “Offer”)
all outstanding Shares, at a purchase price of $37.50 per Share
net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any
required withholding taxes (the “Offer Price”), upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer
to Purchase dated May 20, 2010 (the “Offer to
Purchase”), and in this Letter of Transmittal.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (and
if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms of any such
extension or amendment), and effective upon acceptance for
payment of the Shares tendered herewith in accordance with the
terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and
transfers to or upon the order of CGI-Fairfax all right, title
and interest in and to all of the Shares that are being tendered
hereby (and any and all dividends, distributions, rights, other
Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect thereof
on or after the date hereof (collectively,
“Distributions”)) and irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the
“Depositary”) the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Shares
(and any and all Distributions), with full power of substitution
(such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest), to (i) deliver certificates for
such Shares (and any and all Distributions) or transfer
ownership of such Shares (and any and all Distributions) on the
account books maintained by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility,
together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidences of
transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of CGI-Fairfax,
(ii) present such Shares (and any and all Distributions)
for transfer on the books of the Company and (iii) receive
all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial
ownership of such Shares (and any and all Distributions), all in
accordance with the terms of the Offer.
By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby
irrevocably appoints George Schindler and
Joseph C. Figini, and each of them, and any other
designees of CGI-Fairfax, the attorneys-in-fact and proxies of
the undersigned, each with full power of substitution,
(i) to vote at any annual or special meeting of the
Company’s stockholders or any adjournment or postponement
thereof or otherwise in such manner as each such
attorney-in-fact and proxy or its, his or her substitute shall
in its, his or her sole discretion deem proper with respect to,
(ii) to execute any written consent concerning any matter
as each such attorney-in-fact and proxy or its, his or her
substitute shall in its, his or her sole discretion deem proper
with respect to, and (iii) to otherwise act as each such
attorney-in-fact and proxy or its, his or her substitute shall
in its, his or her sole discretion deem proper with respect to,
all of the Shares (and any and all Distributions) tendered
hereby and accepted for payment by CGI-Fairfax. This appointment
will be effective if and when, and only to the extent that,
CGI-Fairfax accepts such Shares for payment pursuant to the
Offer. This power of attorney and proxy are irrevocable and are
granted in consideration of the acceptance for payment of such
Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Such
acceptance for payment shall, without further action, revoke any
prior powers of attorney and proxies granted by the undersigned
at any time with respect to such Shares (and any and all
Distributions), and no subsequent powers of attorney, proxies,
consents or revocations may be given by the undersigned with
respect thereto (and, if given, will not be deemed effective).
CGI-Fairfax reserves the right to require that, in order for the
Shares to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon
CGI-Fairfax’s acceptance for payment of such Shares,
CGI-Fairfax must be able to exercise full voting, consent and
other rights with respect to such Shares (and any and all
Distributions), including voting at any meeting of the
Company’s stockholders.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the
undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign
and transfer the Shares tendered hereby (and any and all
Distributions) and that, when the same are accepted for payment
by CGI-Fairfax, CGI-Fairfax will acquire good, marketable and
unencumbered title to such Shares (and any and all
Distributions), free and clear of all liens, restrictions,
charges and encumbrances and the same will not be subject to any
adverse claims. The undersigned will, upon request, execute and
deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or
CGI-Fairfax to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale,
assignment and transfer of the Shares tendered hereby (and any
and all Distributions). In addition, the undersigned shall remit
and transfer promptly to the Depositary for the account of
CGI-Fairfax all Distributions in respect of the Shares tendered
hereby, accompanied by appropriate documentation of transfer,
and, pending such remittance and transfer or appropriate
assurance thereof, CGI-Fairfax shall be entitled to all rights
and privileges as owner of each such Distribution and may deduct
from the purchase price of the Shares tendered hereby the amount
or value of such Distribution as determined by CGI-Fairfax in
its sole discretion.
3
All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall
survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any
obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon
the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives,
trustees in bankruptcy, successors and assigns of the
undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this
tender is irrevocable.
The undersigned understands that the valid tender of Shares
pursuant to any of the procedures described in the Offer to
Purchase and in the Instructions hereto will constitute a
binding agreement between the undersigned and CGI-Fairfax upon
the terms of and subject to the conditions to the Offer (and if
the Offer is extended or amended, the terms of or the conditions
to any such extension or amendment).

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part
of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer
1. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature
guarantee is required on this Letter of Transmittal (a) if
this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s)
(which term, for purposes of this Section, includes any
participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s systems
whose name(s) appear(s) on a security position listing as the
owner(s) of the Shares) of Shares tendered herewith, unless such
registered holder(s) has completed either the box entitled
“Special Payment Instructions” or the box entitled
“Special Delivery Instructions” on the Letter of
Transmittal or (b) if such Shares are tendered for the
account of a financial institution (including most commercial
banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that
is a participant in the Security Transfer Agents Medallion
Program or by any other “eligible guarantor
institution,” as such term is defined in
Rule 17Ad-15
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each, an
“Eligible Institution”). In all other cases, all
signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by
an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 5.
2. Requirements of Tender. This Letter of
Transmittal is to be completed if Share Certificates are to be
forwarded herewith or, unless an Agent’s Message is
utilized, if tenders are to be made pursuant to the procedure
for tender by book-entry transfer set forth in “The Tender
Offer — Section 3 — Procedures for
Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares” of the Offer to
Purchase. Share Certificates evidencing tendered Shares, or
timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of Shares (a
“Book-Entry Confirmation”) into the Depositary’s
account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, as well as this
Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile hereof),
properly completed and duly executed, with any required
signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message in connection
with a book-entry transfer, and any other documents required by
this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary
at one of its addresses set forth herein prior to the Expiration
Date (as defined in “The Tender Offer —
Section 1 — Terms of the Offer” of the Offer
to Purchase). Stockholders whose Share Certificates are not
immediately available, or who cannot complete the procedure for
delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis or who cannot
deliver all other required documents to the Depositary prior to
the Expiration Date, may tender their Shares by properly
completing and duly executing a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery
pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in
“The Tender Offer — Section 3 —
Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares” of
the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to such procedure: (i) such
tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution;
(ii) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form made available by
CGI-Fairfax, must be received by the Depositary prior to the
Expiration Date and (iii) the Share Certificates (or a
Book-Entry Confirmation) evidencing all tendered Shares, in
proper form for transfer, in each case together with this Letter
of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile hereof), properly
completed and duly executed, with any required signature
guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry delivery, an
Agent’s Message) and any other documents required by this
Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary within
three trading days (calculated by reference to the New York
Stock Exchange) after the date of execution of such Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery. If Share Certificates are forwarded
separately to the Depositary, a properly completed and duly
executed Letter of Transmittal must accompany each such delivery.
The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, Share
Certificates and all other required documents, including
delivery through the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, is at the
option and the risk of the tendering stockholder and the
delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the
Depositary (including, in the case of Book-Entry Transfer, by
Book-Entry Confirmation). If delivery is by mail, registered
mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is
recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to
ensure timely delivery.
CGI-Fairfax will not accept any alternative, conditional or
contingent tenders, and no fractional Shares will be purchased.
By executing this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof),
the tendering stockholder waives any right to receive any notice
of the acceptance for payment of the Shares.
3. Inadequate Space. If the space
provided herein is inadequate, the Share Certificate numbers
and/or the
number of Shares should be listed on a separate schedule
attached hereto.
4. Partial Tenders. If fewer than all the
Shares represented by any Share Certificate delivered to the
Depositary are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares
which are to be tendered in the box entitled “Total Number
of Shares Tendered”. In such case, a new certificate
for the remainder of the Shares represented by the old
certificate will be sent to the person(s) signing this Letter of
Transmittal, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on
this Letter of Transmittal, as promptly as practicable following
the expiration or termination of the Offer. All Shares
represented by certificates delivered to the Depositary will be
deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

5. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and
Endorsements.
(a) Exact Signatures. If this Letter of
Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares
tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the
name(s) as written on the face of the Share Certificates without
alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.
(b) Joint Holders. If any of the Shares
tendered hereby are held of record by two or more persons, all
such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal.
(c) Different Names on Certificates. If
any of the Shares tendered hereby are registered in different
names on different certificates, it will be necessary to
complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of
Transmittal as there are different registrations of certificates.
(d) Endorsements. If this Letter of
Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares
tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate
stock powers are required unless payment of the purchase price
is to be made, or Shares not tendered or not purchased are to be
returned, in the name of any person other than the registered
holder(s). Signatures on any such certificates or stock powers
must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than
the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby,
certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate
stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name(s) of
the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the certificates for such
Shares. Signature(s) on any such certificates or stock powers
must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See
Instruction 1.
If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificate or stock power
is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian,
attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person
acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person
should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence
satisfactory to the Depositary of the authority of such person
so to act must be submitted.
6. Stock Transfer Taxes. Except as
otherwise provided in this Instruction 6, CGI-Fairfax or
any successor entity thereto will pay all stock transfer taxes
with respect to the transfer and sale of any Shares to it or its
order pursuant to the Offer. If, however, payment of the
purchase price is to be made to, or if Share Certificate(s) for
Shares not tendered or not accepted for payment are to be
registered in the name of, any person(s) other than the
registered holder(s), or if tendered Share Certificate(s) are
registered in the name of any person(s) other than the person(s)
signing this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any stock
transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s) or
such other person(s)) payable on account of the transfer to such
other person(s) will be deducted from the purchase price of such
Shares purchased unless evidence satisfactory to CGI-Fairfax of
the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted.
Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be
necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Share
Certificate(s) evidencing the Shares tendered hereby.
7. Special Payment and Delivery
Instructions. If a check is to be issued in the
name of, and, if appropriate, Share Certificates for Shares not
tendered or not accepted for payment are to be issued or
returned to, any person(s) other than the signer of this Letter
of Transmittal or if a check and, if appropriate, such Share
Certificates are to be returned to any person(s) other than the
person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or to an address
other than that shown in this Letter of Transmittal, the
appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal must be
completed.
8. Substitute
Form W-9;
Backup Withholding; Taxpayer Identification
Number. Under U.S. Federal income tax law, a
tendering stockholder generally is required to provide the
Depositary with (i) if such stockholder is a
U.S. person (as defined for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes), a properly completed Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”)
Form W-9
or Substitute
Form W-9
(which is provided under “Important Tax Information”
below) with such stockholder’s correct Taxpayer
Identification Number (“TIN”) or (ii) if such
stockholder is not a U.S. person, a properly completed
appropriate IRS
Form W-8.
Only U.S. persons, including resident alien individuals,
should use Substitute
Form W-9.
If a tendering stockholder has been notified by the IRS that
such stockholder is subject to backup withholding, such
stockholder must cross out item (2) of the Certification
box in Part 2 of the Substitute
Form W-9,
unless such stockholder has since been notified by the IRS that
such stockholder is no longer subject to backup withholding. A
tendering stockholder will be subject to U.S. Federal
income tax backup withholding at a rate of 28% on all reportable
payments made to such stockholder pursuant to the Offer if:
(i) such stockholder does not furnish its, his or her
correct TIN to the requester; (ii) such stockholder does
not certify, under penalty of
8
perjury, its, his or her TIN; (iii) the IRS tells the
requester that such stockholder furnished an incorrect TIN;
(iv) the IRS tells the requester that such stockholder is
subject to backup withholding because such stockholder did not
report all its, his or her interest and dividends on such
stockholder’s tax return or (v) such stockholder does
not certify to the requester, under penalty of perjury, that
such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding.
If the tendering stockholder has not been issued a TIN and has
applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future,
such stockholder should check the box in Part 3 of the
Substitute
Form W-9,
and sign and date the Substitute
Form W-9.
If the box in Part 3 is checked and the Depositary is not
provided with a TIN by the time of payment, the Depositary will
withhold 28% of all reportable payments of the purchase price to
such stockholder until a TIN is provided to the Depositary or
such stockholder has otherwise established an exemption from
backup withholding.
Certain stockholders (including, among others, all corporations
and certain foreign individuals and entities) may not be subject
to backup withholding. Foreign stockholders should submit an
appropriate and properly completed IRS
Form W-8,
a copy of which may be obtained from the Depositary or from the
IRS at its website (www.irs.gov), in order to avoid backup
withholding. Such stockholders should consult a tax advisor to
determine which
Form W-8
is appropriate. See the enclosed “Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute
Form W-9”
for more instructions.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. A tendering
stockholder may credit any amounts withheld against its, his or
her regular U.S. Federal income tax liability or, if backup
withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, claim a refund
from the IRS.
If a tendering stockholder fails to furnish its, his or her
correct TIN to the Depositary, such stockholder will be subject
to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless the
stockholder’s failure is due to reasonable cause and not to
willful neglect. If a tendering stockholder makes a false
statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup
withholding, such stockholder is subject to a $500 penalty.
Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject
a stockholder to criminal penalties, including fines
and/or
imprisonment.
9. Irregularities. All questions as to
purchase price, the form of documents and the validity,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for
payment of any tender of Shares will be determined by
CGI-Fairfax in its sole discretion, which determinations shall
be final and binding on all parties. CGI-Fairfax reserves the
absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Shares it
determines not to be in proper form or the acceptance of which
or payment for which may, in the opinion of CGI-Fairfax, be
unlawful. CGI-Fairfax also reserves the absolute right to waive
any of the conditions of the Offer (other than the Minimum
Tender Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) which may
only be waived with the consent of the Company) and any defect
or irregularity in the tender of any particular Shares, and
CGI-Fairfax’s interpretation of the terms of the Offer
(including these instructions) will be final and binding on all
parties. No tender of Shares will be deemed to be properly made
until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived.
Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with
tenders must be cured within such time as CGI-Fairfax shall
determine. None of CGI-Fairfax, the Depositary, the Dealer
Manager, the Information Agent (as the foregoing are defined in
the Offer to Purchase) or any other person is or will be
obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in
tenders and none of them will incur any liability for failure to
give any such notice.
10. Requests for Additional
Copies. Questions and requests for assistance
should be directed to the Information Agent or the Dealer
Manager at their respective addresses and telephone numbers set
forth below. Additional copies of the Offer to Purchase and this
Letter of Transmittal should be directed to the Information
Agent at its address and telephone numbers set forth below.
11. Lost, Destroyed or Stolen
Certificates. If any certificate representing
Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the stockholder
should promptly notify Computershare Trust Company, N.A.,
as Transfer Agent, at 250 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts
02021 (Telephone No.
(781) 575-4238).
The stockholder will then be instructed as to the steps that
must be taken in order to replace the certificate(s). This
Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed
until the procedures for replacing lost or destroyed
certificates have been followed.
This Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly
executed, together with certificates representing Shares being
tendered (or confirmation of book-entry transfer) and all other
required documents, must be received before 12:00 midnight, New
York City time, on the Expiration Date, or the tendering
stockholder must comply with the procedures for guaranteed
delivery.

IMPORTANT
TAX INFORMATION
Under U.S. Federal income tax law, a stockholder who is a
U.S. person (as defined for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes) surrendering Shares must, unless an exemption applies,
provide the Depositary (as payer) with the stockholder’s
correct TIN on IRS
Form W-9
or on the Substitute
Form W-9
included in this Letter of Transmittal. If the stockholder is an
individual, the stockholder’s TIN is such
stockholder’s Social Security number. If the correct TIN is
not provided, the stockholder may be subject to a $50 penalty
imposed by the IRS and payments of cash to the stockholder (or
other payee) pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup
withholding at a rate of 28%.
Certain stockholders (including, among others, corporations and
certain foreign individuals and entities) may not be subject to
backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order for an
exempt foreign stockholder to avoid backup withholding, such
person should complete, sign and submit an appropriate
Form W-8
signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to his or her
exempt status. A
Form W-8
can be obtained from the Depositary or from the IRS at its
website (www.irs.gov). Such stockholders should consult a tax
advisor to determine which
Form W-8
is appropriate. Exempt stockholders, other than foreign
stockholders, should furnish their TIN, check the box in
Part 4 of the Substitute
Form W-9
and sign, date and return the Substitute
Form W-9
to the Depositary in order to avoid erroneous backup
withholding. See the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification
of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute
Form W-9”
for additional instructions. A stockholder should consult its,
his or her tax advisor as to such stockholder’s
qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the
procedure for such exemption.
If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to
withhold and pay over to the IRS 28% of any reportable payment
made to a stockholder. Backup withholding is not an additional
tax. Rather, the U.S. Federal income tax liability of
persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the
amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an
overpayment of taxes, a refund may be claimed from the IRS.
Purpose
of Substitute
Form W-9
To prevent backup withholding on payments that are made to a
stockholder with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the
Offer, the stockholder is required to notify the Depositary of
the stockholder’s correct TIN by completing the Substitute
Form W-9
included in this Letter of Transmittal certifying that
(1) the TIN provided on the Substitute
Form W-9
is correct (or that such stockholder is awaiting a TIN),
(2) the stockholder is not subject to backup withholding
because (i) the stockholder is exempt from backup
withholding, (ii) the stockholder has not been notified by
the IRS that the stockholder is subject to backup withholding as
a result of a failure to report all interest and dividends or
(iii) the IRS has notified the stockholder that the
stockholder is no longer subject to backup withholding and
(3) the stockholder is a U.S. person (as defined for
U.S. federal income tax purposes).
What
Number to Give the Depositary
The tendering stockholder is required to give the Depositary the
TIN, generally the Social Security number or employer
identification number, of the record holder of the Shares
tendered hereby. If the Shares are in more than one name or are
not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed
“Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification
Number on Substitute
Form W-9”
for additional guidance on which number to report. If the
tendering stockholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied
for a number or intends to apply for a number in the near
future, such stockholder should check the box in Part 3 of
the Substitute
Form W-9,
sign and date the Substitute
Form W-9
and sign and date the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer
Identification Number, which appears in a separate box below the
Substitute
Form W-9.
If the box in Part 3 of the Substitute
Form W-9
is checked and the Depositary is not provided with a TIN by the
time of payment, the Depositary will withhold 28% of all
reportable payments of the purchase price, which will be
refunded if a TIN is provided to the Depositary within sixty
(60) days of the Depositary’s receipt of the
Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number. If the
Depositary is provided with an incorrect TIN in connection with
such payments, the stockholder may be subject to a $50.00
penalty imposed by the IRS.
