THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE SOLD, EXCHANGED, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, PARTICIPATED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF ONLY IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.”

TRANSFER PROCEDURES

Section 3.1. Requirements for Transfer

(a) As a condition to any Transfer of Transferred Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Transferor and the Transferee shall complete, execute and deliver to Accenture SCA a Joinder Agreement (with Schedule I thereto) in a form approved by Accenture SCA (the “Joinder Agreement”).

(b) The Transferor shall set forth in Schedule I to the Joinder Agreement the Base Restriction Date(s) and the applicable number of Transferred Shares with respect to such Base Restriction Date(s). The Base Restriction Date(s) and the number of Transferred Shares to which the respective Base Restriction Dates are applicable, as designated by the Transferor, must be consistent with the restrictions on transfer (and the scheduled lapsing of such restrictions) provided by the Articles and as applicable to the Transferor, after giving effect to any Transfers of Covered Shares previously made by the Transferor. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1(b), in lieu of specifying a Base Restriction Date in Schedule I to the Joinder Agreement, the Transferor may designate Transferred Shares as “Unrestricted” if such designation is consistent with the lapsing of transfer restrictions under the Articles as applicable to the Transferor; provided it is acknowledged that all such “Unrestricted” Transferred Shares, in the same manner as all other Transferred Shares, are nevertheless subject to the transfer restriction imposed by Section 2.2(b) until the Interim Restriction Date.

(c) As a condition to granting its consent to any Transfer pursuant to this Agreement, Accenture SCA may require the Transferor to provide such information and materials as Accenture SCA may determine in its sole discretion with respect to the proposed Transfer and Transferee, including, without limitation, a description of the beneficial owners of any proposed Transferee that is not a natural person, a copy of the organizational documents of any proposed Transferee that is not a natural person, and a copy of the relevant documents with respect to any estate and/or tax planning vehicle to which or by means of which the proposed Transfer is to be made.

(d) As a further condition to granting its consent to any Transfer pursuant hereto, Accenture SCA shall have received from legal counsel, selected or approved by Accenture SCA (i) approval of the documentation, information and materials required by this Section 3.1 and (ii) confirmation of the determination that the proposed Transfer satisfies the eligibility requirement of Section 2.1(b).

(e) Simultaneously with the delivery of the executed Joinder Agreement pursuant to Section 3.1(a), if the Transferred Shares are then held in certificated form, the Transferor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Accenture SCA the certificates evidencing the Transferred Shares. Accenture SCA will re-issue the Transferred Shares, in certificated or non-certificated form as determined by Accenture SCA in its sole discretion, in the name of a nominee for the Transferee (if so elected by

Accenture SCA), and the Transferred Shares shall be held in the custody of a custodian as provided in Section 5.1 hereof.

Section 3.2. Subsequent Transfers. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3, following the Transfer of the Transferred Shares to the Transferee as consented to by Accenture SCA pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, Accenture SCA shall have no obligation whatsoever to consent to any subsequent transfer of the Transferred Shares by the Transferee. In the event Accenture SCA, in its discretion, consents to any subsequent Transfer of the Transferred Shares, Accenture SCA may, in its discretion, impose such conditions upon such subsequent Transfer as it considers appropriate for its purposes, including, without limitation, that (i) the subsequent transferee execute such documentation accepting, confirming and agreeing to be bound by the agreements, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement (specifically including, without limitation, the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 2.2 and the proxy and power of attorney set forth in Section 4.1) and (ii) that the transferring Transferee and the subsequent transferee execute such other documents and instruments in respect of such Transfer as deemed appropriate by Accenture SCA.

If, at any time after the effective date of the Transfer to any Transferee other than an individual (including any partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity): (a) the governing documents of such Transferee are amended or modified in any respect, then the Transferee shall promptly notify Accenture SCA in writing of such amendment or modification and furnish to Accenture SCA copies of such amendment or modification or amended or modified documents; or (b) any direct or indirect interest in such entity Transferee shall be transferred or the beneficial owners of such Transferee shall change, then the Transferee shall promptly notify Accenture SCA in writing of such change (including the identity of any new beneficial owners and the relationship of such new beneficial owners to the Transferor) and furnish to Accenture SCA copies of all documentation implementing or evidencing such transfer or change.

Section 3.4. Reacquisition of Transferred Shares. Subject to the consent of Accenture SCA, in the event a Transferor reacquires Transferred Shares, such reacquired shares may be released, pursuant to procedures to be determined by Accenture SCA in its sole discretion, free and clear of all agreements, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, provided that such reacquired shares shall again be deemed, and the Transferor shall confirm that such reacquired shares are, Covered Shares subject to the transfer restrictions imposed by the Articles in the same manner and with the same effect as if such shares had never been transferred by the Transferor.

ARTICLE IV

(d) It is acknowledged and agreed by the Transferee that the Transferred Shares may be voted, pursuant to the proxy and power of attorney given pursuant to this Section 4.1, in the interests of the Transferor and/or the Company, as may be determined by the Transferor, without any duty or obligation to the Transferee being expressly or implicitly undertaken or assumed by the Transferor or the Company as a result of the acceptance of such proxy and power of attorney.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, it is acknowledged and agreed that the proxy and power of attorney provided by this Section 4.1 are not, and shall not be deemed to be, given in the case of any Transfer of Transferred Shares (1) by any Transferor who is a retired or resigned Partner or (2) to any Transferee that is an Exempt Organization.”

Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding sentence, Accenture SCA or its authorized representative shall make such adjustments to or interpretations of the provisions of this Agreement as it shall deem necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of such provision(s). If Accenture SCA or its authorized representative deems it desirable, any such adjustments may take effect from the record date, the “when issued trading date”, the “ex dividend date” or another appropriate date.

(b) In the event of any business combination, amalgamation, restructuring, recapitalization or other extraordinary transaction directly or indirectly involving Accenture SCA or any of its securities or assets as a result of which the Transferees shall hold voting securities of a different entity, the Transferees agree that this Agreement shall also continue in full force and effect with respect to such voting securities of such other entity formerly representing or distributed in respect of Class I Common Shares, and the terms “Class I Common Shares,” “Transferred Shares,” and “Accenture SCA” and “Company” shall refer to such voting securities formerly representing or distributed in respect of Class I Common Shares and such entity, respectively.

(c) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Transferees (and Accenture SCA in the event of a transaction described in Section 7.1(b) hereof); provided, however, that no Transferor or Transferee may assign this Agreement or any of his rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Accenture SCA, and any assignment without such consent by a Transferor or Transferee shall be void; and, provided, further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, no assignment of this Agreement by Accenture SCA or to a successor of Accenture SCA (by operation of law or otherwise) shall be valid unless such assignment is made to a person which succeeds to the business of Accenture SCA substantially as an entirety.

Section 7.2. Redemptions. In the event Transferred Shares are redeemed, in accordance with Article 7 of the Articles, in exchange for Class A Common Shares of Accenture Ltd, Accenture SCA and such Transferee agree that Accenture Ltd shall succeed to the rights of Accenture SCA under this Agreement with respect to the Class A Common Shares received in exchange for such Transferred Shares, and the Transferee agrees that it shall be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement with respect to the Class A Common Shares, as if such rights, terms, conditions and restrictions had been made specifically applicable to Accenture Ltd, the Transferee and the Class A Common Shares, and the Transferee agrees to execute such additional documents and take such further action at the request of Accenture Ltd as may be reasonably necessary to confirm or effectuate the provisions of this Section 7.2.

Section 7.3. Agreements and Acknowledgments By Transferees. Each Transferee agrees and acknowledges that:

(a) Pursuant to Article 7 of the Articles, (i) Class I Common Shares are redeemable for cash at the option of the holder, provided that, at the option of Accenture SCA, any redemption price that becomes payable to a holder of Class I Common Shares who becomes such a shareholder after May 31, 2001 (i.e., including any Transferee) (referred to in said Article 7 as a “Subsequent Limited Shareholder”) may, at the option of Accenture SCA, be paid in cash or in Class A Common Shares, and

(ii) Accenture SCA has the right, at its option, to redeem Class I Common Shares held by any Subsequent Limited Shareholder if Accenture SCA receives a satisfactory opinion from an internationally recognized counsel or professional tax advisor that such redemption should be tax-free with respect to such Subsequent Limited Shareholder. In consideration of Accenture SCA’s consent to the Transfer of the Transferred Shares to Transferee and the other agreements contained herein, each Transferee hereby waives any requirement for the delivery of such tax opinion required by Article 7 of the Articles and agrees that Accenture SCA may redeem the Transferred Shares without the delivery of such tax opinion.

(b) Without limitation on or by the provisions of Section 7.3(a), each Transferee agrees that the redemption price payable in connection with any redemption of such Transferee’s Transferred Shares pursuant to Article 7 of the Articles may, at the option of Accenture SCA, be paid in cash or in Class A Common Shares, as such redemption price is calculated in accordance with the provisions of said Article 7.
