Executive Compensation Oversight

Our executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board. As reflected in its charter, the Compensation Committee is charged with reviewing and approving our goals and objectives relevant to the performance of the NEOs. In addition, no less than annually, the Compensation Committee will appraise the performance of the NEOs in light of these goals and objectives and set compensation levels based on this evaluation. In setting the NEOs'NEOs’ compensation, the Compensation Committee considers our performance and relative stockholder return, the compensation of executive officers at comparable companies and other factors deemed appropriate.

        The compensation policies in place during the fiscal year ended March 30, 2007 were established prior to our initial public offering of common stock in May 2006. Our Compensation Committee is reviewing and revising our executive compensation philosophy and program to assure that it is properly aligned with our growth strategy and the interests of our stockholders.

From time to time, the Compensation Committee engages an independent consulting firm to review and evaluate various elements of the NEOs'NEOs’ total compensation program. During the fiscal year ended March 30, 2007,28, 2008, the Compensation Committee engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co. to review the long-term compensation paid to the Company'sour executive officers and to identify competitive levels of compensation and appropriate compensation elements. The Company hasWe have also engaged Hewitt Associates LLC to study compensation and benefits throughout the Company, including the compensation and benefits of the NEOs.

Data to determine the competitive positioning of our senior executives was obtained from the proxy statements of a custom peer group. The peer group was developed by the compensation consultants with input from our management, with ultimate approval by the Compensation Committee. The public comparator companies utilized in the peer group selection were of similar size and engaged in similar lines of business. In order to assemble a sufficient number of comparators, companies from similar, though not exact, industries were included. The companies comprising our compensation peer groups are:
• Alliant Techsystems Inc.
• Armor Holdings, Inc.
• CACI International Inc.
• DRS Technologies, Inc.
• Hexcel Corporation
• ITT Corporation
• L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc.
• Rockwell Collins, Inc.
• SAIC, Inc.
• Teledyne Technologies Incorporated
When deliberating on executive compensation levels, the Compensation Committee gave consideration to the competitive market data obtained from the compensation consultants, the performance and tenure of the individual executive and the relative importance of the executive’s role within the Company.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation Committee believes that compensation paid to executive officers should assist us in attracting, motivating and retaining superior talent. Our compensation programs are intended to motivate the NEOs to achieve our business objectives and to align their financial interests with those of our stockholders. Based on this philosophy, the compensation of our NEOs includes a combination of salary, cash bonuses, long-term equity-based awards and other employment benefits. Salary and cash bonuses are utilized so that management focuses on short-term goals. On the other hand,Additionally, long-term equity-based compensation is used so that management focuses on long-term goals and performance.
As discussed above, we retained the services of professional compensation consultants who were assigned responsibility for conducting a competitive review of our executive compensation program. In this competitive review, the existing executive compensation program was reviewed relative to market practices. Findings were subsequently reported in the form of a survey analysis which summarized competitive total compensation, which was based on the following sub-elements: base annual salary, target annual incentive, target total cash compensation (the sum of base salary and target annual incentive), grant date present value of long-term incentives, and total direct compensation (the sum of total cash compensation plus the grant date present value of long-term incentives).
Our compensation philosophy is to provide pay opportunities that are slightly above the median results of the market analysis and a compensation program which provides us with the ability to attract and retain a quality executive team focused on maximizing shareholder value. In determining the adequacy of the executive compensation package, consideration is given to total cash compensation and total direct compensation compared to the median results of the market analysis. When deliberating executive compensation levels, the Compensation Committee gave consideration to both the total cash compensation and total direct compensation market analysis findings and gave consideration to the performance and tenure of the individual executive and the relative importance of the executive’s role within the Company.
The policies applicable to the compensation of the individual NEOs, except for Mr. Lanese and Gen. Zinni, do not differ. Differences in compensation are driven either by scope of the NEO’s services or by contractual terms applicable for the NEO’s first year of service. For example, Mr. Lanese’s bonus for fiscal year 2007 was a contractually stated amount, as fiscal year 2007 was his first year of service as an employee and was reasonably consistent with what his bonus would have been if based on a percentage formula like our other NEOs. For fiscal year 2008, Gen. Zinni also received an agreed upon amount which was equal to 100% of his


14

        In addition,


salary. Fixed bonus amounts during the first year of service are not uncommon and are an attempt to provide appropriate compensation levels to new executives during their initial year of service. As a specific example, Mr. Lanese’s fiscal 2008 year bonus was based on 125% of his applicable base salary, which is consistent with our philosophy, as he was no longer a new employee for the 2008 fiscal year.
Our philosophy regarding equity compensation of the individual NEOs does not differ and is used so that management focuses on long-terms goals for the Company. As further described below in the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and Other Equity-Based Awards sections, our equity compensation is based on two different types of awards, plan-based awards and Class B Interests. All of our NEOs have been granted Class B Interests, as further described in the Other Equity-Based Awards sections. General Zinni is our only NEO to receive plan-based awards to date. The basis for this difference is due to the level of Class B Interests received by General Zinni as compared to the other NEOs. General Zinni had originally received Class B Interests because of his service as a director on our Board, however the level of Class B Interests was not comparable to the level of Class B Interests received by our other NEOs as employees. To supplement the equity compensation received by General Zinni, we issued RSUs to align his total equity compensation with that of our other NEOs. No RSUs have been granted to our other NEOs, as their equity compensation levels from their Class B Interests were at a sufficient level based on our compensation philosophy.
With regards to total compensation, our philosophy is consistent with general market practice which compensates individuals based on factors such as experience, duties and position within the organization. The disparity in Mr. Lanese’s compensation as compared to that of the other NEOs existed because of his years of experience, the scope of his duties and the fact that in the general marketplace chief executive officers are compensated at a higher rate than are other executive officers.
We have employment agreements with certain of our NEOs and other executive officers which provide for termination payments. These employment agreements are discussed further below, under the heading "Employment Agreements" at page 24 of this Proxy Statement.


“Employment Agreements”.


Elements of our Executive Compensation Program for the Prior Fiscal Year

The primary elements of our executive compensation, including compensation of the NEOs, for the fiscal yearyears ended March 28, 2008 and March 30, 2007 were:

    base salary;

• base salary;
• an annual incentive bonus, paid in cash;
• a long-term incentive compensation plan;
• long-term equity-based awards from our controlling stockholder;
• a tax-qualified savings plan with matching company contributions; and
• perquisites and other personal benefits.
In evaluating overall compensation, we initially consider each element independently of the others. An overall assessment is made on the aggregate compensation to determine if overall compensation is consistent with our philosophy. Further specifics with regards to each element of compensation are discussed in cash;

long-term equity-based awards from our controlling stockholder;

a savings plan with matching company contributions;

discretionary cash bonuses; and

perquisites and other personal benefits.

the sections below.


Base Salary

Salary levels are typically considered annually as part of our performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. Competitive and performance data are reviewed by the Compensation Committee in order to make compensation decisions that will maintain a competitive level of remuneration for each executive officer but not place them outside a reasonable range of compensation for comparable positions in the defense services industry. Salaries are set based on a review of competitive market data, consideration of individual performance, compensation relative to other executive officers and the importance to stockholders of the individual'sindividual’s continued service. While market data is compared against external factors, individual performance is assessed through our annual employee evaluation process which


15


compares performance against specific job duties based on their positions within the Company. Salaries earned by the NEOs during fiscal year 2008 are reflected in column (c) of the Summary Compensation Table below.

Incentive Bonus Compensation

We have established an Amended and Restated Executive Incentive Plan ("EIP"(“EIP”) in which our NEOs and other senior executives are eligible to participate. The purpose of the EIP is to provide additional compensation to eligible participants for their contribution to the achievement of our objectives, to encourage and stimulate superior performance and to assist in attracting and retaining highly qualified executives. Under the EIP, and consistent with our employment agreements with each of the NEOs, target bonus amounts for the fiscal yearyears ended March 28, 2008 and March 30, 2007 were based on a percentage of base salary or, in the case of the CEO, the amount of $1,000,000, varying by the NEO level and overall job responsibilities. Actualresponsibilities or, in the case of General Zinni, the amount of $500,000. This method of assigning actual awards is consistent with our compensation philosophy and is based on market data we use from our compensation consultants as discussed in more detail within the “Executive Compensation Philosophy” section above.
Specific target bonus percentages for the NEOs other than the CEO are set forth in the table on page 25.

(2)General Zinni’s bonus for FY 2008 was a fixed amount of $500,000.
Bonuses are paid under the EIP based on the attainment of certain financial and non-financial performance criteria that were approved by the Compensation Committee.
For the fiscal yearyears ended March 28, 2008 and March 30, 2007, the financial performance criteria for our NEOs and other executives related to adjusteddays sales outstanding (“DSO”). We rewarded effective management of DSO as part of our bonus criteria because of its impact on cash flow. We established earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"(“EBITDA”) and days sales outstanding ("DSO"), which together represented 70% of an individual's target incentive compensation. The remaining 30% of an individual's target incentive compensation was based upon achievement of personal goals.

        For the fiscal year ended March 30, 2007, we established Adjusted EBITDA as a key financial measure to assess our operating performance in fiscal year 2008 and utilized Adjusted EBITDA, which adjusted for unusual non-recurring items such as severance and IPO bonuses in fiscal year 2007, because it excludesthese metrics exclude items that have been deemed by management to have little or no bearing on our day-to-day operating performance and is therefore helpful in highlighting trends in our overall business. WeOur determination to utilize EBITDA in fiscal year 2008 as opposed to Adjusted EBITDA was based on our expectation that significant, unusual one-time items would not occur during the 2008 fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008, we also rewarded effective management of DSOestablished revenues as part ofa key measure, as it measures gross sales to our bonus criteria because of its impact on cash flow.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan

        We have not previously adopted a long-term incentive compensation plan.

On May 31, 2007, the Board authorized the Compensation Committee to adopt the DynCorp International 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("OIP"(“OIP”). On June 11, 2007, the Compensation Committee adopted the OIP, described further at pages 30 to 35 of this Proxy Statement, which is proposed for approvalwas approved by our stockholders.stockholders on August 8, 2007. We had not previously adopted a long-term incentive compensation plan. The principal features of the OIP are as follows:

    equity-based and cash-based awards;

    executives, other employees and directors are eligible;

    stock options will have a maximum 10-year term, will be priced at 100% of fair market value on date of grant and may not be re-priced without stockholder consent;

• equity-based and cash-based awards;
• executives, other employees and directors are eligible;
• stock options will have a maximum10-year term, will be priced at 100% of fair market value on date of grant and may not be re-priced without stockholder consent;
• stock appreciation rights will have a base price at 100% of fair market value of common stock on the grant date, may not be re-priced without stockholder consent and will result in a cash payment equal to the excess of the market price of our common stock on the exercise date over the base price;
• performance awards will be cash payments or equity grants based on company performance metrics over a pre-established period;
• restricted stock grants may be in the form of actual shares or share units;
• other share-based awards primarily apply to grants of deferred stock for director compensation;
• there are maximum individual award limits; and
• awards may vest in the event of a change in control.
Restricted Stock Units
The OIP provides for the grant of RSUs. In December 2007, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of RSUs to certain of our key employees (“Participants”), including General Zinni. For a discussion of the rationale for the award to General Zinni, see “Executive Compensation Philosophy” above. No RSU grants


17


were made to the other NEOs during the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008. The grants were made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the OIP and are subject to award agreements between the Company and each Participant. Participants vest in RSUs ratably over the corresponding service term, generally one to three years. The RSUs have assigned value equivalent to our common stock and may be settled in cash or shares of our common stock onat the exercise date overdiscretion of the base price;

Other Equity-Based Awards

Each of the NEOs has been granted Class B membership interests ("Class B interests") in DIV Holding LLC, our majority stockholder.Interests. Under the terms of the operating agreement of DIV, Holding LLC, holders of Class B interestsInterests are entitled to receive proportional shares of distributions made by DIV, Holding LLC, provided that the holders of Class A membersmembership interests in DIV have received an 8% per annum internal rate of return on their invested capital. The Class B interestsInterests are subject to either five-year or four-year vesting schedules, with any unvested interests reverting to the holders of Class A membership interests in the event theythe Class B Interests are forfeited or repurchased. Class B interestsInterests are granted with no exercise price or expiration date.
The equity-based compensationNEOs were granted the Class B Interests by the manager of DIV. Mr. Lanese’s Class B Interests were limited to the unvested portion of the Company’s former CEO’s Class B Interests at the date of his termination, of which the common stock equivalent of the unvested portion was 392,960 shares. The Class B Interests awarded to the NEOs during fiscal year 2007, including Mr. Lanese, were intended to provide a long-term incentive for the performance of their duties as senior management of the Company. The Class B Interests have no dilutive effect on our common stock. In addition, payments made upon vesting and liquidation will be funded by DIV and will not affect our available working capital. Because these Class B Interests are accounted for as compensation in our consolidated financial statements, they are considered by our Compensation Committee when considering grants of equity-based awards under the OIP.
During the fiscal year ended March 30, 2007 is reflected28, 2008, General Zinni was the only NEO to receive an award of Class B Interests. As part of General Zinni’s transition from a director on our Board to an employee, which occurred during fiscal year 2008, the Class B Interest awards General Zinni had previously received as a director technically forfeited. In order to correct this forfeiture, DIV re-granted Class B Interests to General Zinni with terms that in column (e)substance were designed as if no forfeiture of the Summary Compensation Table on page 20.


Class B Interests had occurred. This new award qualified as a modification under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. No other NEO received any Class B Interest grants during fiscal year 2008. Aggregate Class B Interests awarded to the NEOs are reflected below under the heading “Other Equity-Based Awards”.


Savings Plan

Each of the NEOs is eligible to participate in our tax-qualified 401(k) plan on the same basis as all other eligible employees. We provide a company matching contribution under the 401(k) plan on a non-discriminatory basis. The matching contributions paid by us on behalf of the NEOs are reflected in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table on page 20.Table. Details of the plan are discussed in Note 76 to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2007,28, 2008, included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K filed with the SEC on June 18, 2007.

In recognition of efforts required to successfully complete our initial public offering of common stock in May 2006, cash bonuses were paid to certain NEOs. The portion of these cash bonuses earned inNEOs during fiscal year 2007 and are reflected in column (d) of the Summary Compensation Table on page 20.below.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We maintain medical and dental insurance, accidental death insurance and disability insurance programs for our employees, as well as customary vacation and other similar policies. The NEOs are eligible to participate in these programs on the same basis as our otherU.S.-based salaried employees.

The Compensation Committee adopted an Executive Benefits Plan for designated executives effective January 1, 2008, including the NEOs, under which they will be reimbursed up to $15,000 per year in the aggregate for annual physical examinations not covered by group health plans, personal income tax services and estate planning services. Payments under the Executive Benefits Plan will be grossed up to compensate for income taxes on the payments. For the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008, no payments were made to the NEOs under this Plan.
Messrs. Lanese, Rosenkranz and Cavanaugh areZinni were also provided with a special travel accident policiespolicy in the benefit payout amounts of $10,800,000, $3,240,000 and $2,100,000,$6,000,000, respectively.

Tax Implications of Executive Compensation

As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Code Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), which limits the deduction for a publicly held corporation for otherwise deductible compensation to any "covered employee"“covered employee” to $1,000,000 per year. A covered employee includes the CEO and the threefour highest-compensated employees as of the close of the taxable year (other than the principal executive officer and principal financial officer)CEO) whose compensation is required to be disclosed to the stockholders under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.in this proxy statement. The compensation limitation does not apply to privately held companies. Companies that become public during the fiscal year are treated as being in "transition". If a company that isbecomes publicly held in transitionconnection with an initial public offering and has a compensation plan or plans that were adopted when the company was privately held, and the terms of such plans were adequately disclosed in the company'scompany’s offering prospectus, then such company is considered in “transition”, and, so long as the plans are not materially modified during the transition period, any payments made under the terms of such plans are excluded from the



$1,000,000 $1,000,000 limit. Generally, the transition period extends to the first regularly scheduled meeting of the shareholders that occurs after the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the company becomes publicly held. Any grants made prior to the end of the transition period are exempt from the Code Section 162(m) compensation limit. If a covered employee receives compensation pursuant to an agreement made subsequent to the adoption of the plans that either accelerates the timing of or increases the amount of compensation otherwise payable under the terms of the previously adopted plans, then a "material modification"“material modification” is deemed to have occurred, and any compensation paid pursuant thereto is not exempt from the $1,000,000 limit. We became publicly held in May 2006. Therefore, forIn addition, if a company adopts a compensation plan or plans after it becomes public and such plan or plans meet all the requirements of Performance Based Compensation as set forth in Code Section 162(m)(C) (“Performance Based Compensation”) and the regulations adopted thereunder, then such compensation is also exempt from the $1,000,000 limit. We adopted the EIP in fiscal year ended March 30,2008, and it was approved by our shareholders at the August 8, 2007 weannual meeting. We believe the bonus grants issued under the EIP qualify as Performance Based Compensation. We also adopted the OIP in fiscal year 2008, which was approved by the shareholders at the August 8, 2007 annual meeting and from which a grant of RSUs have been made to one of the covered employees. The grants of the RSUs do not qualify as Performance Based Compensation. We believe, therefore, that all compensation paid to our executives other than Messrs. Lanese and Schehr, with the exception of our CEO,the one grant of RSUs to General Zinni, is exempt from the Code Section 162(m) limitation, because it was paid either pursuant to compensation plans that were adopted at a time when we were privately held and the terms of such plans were adequately disclosed in the offering prospectus.or qualifies as Performance Based Compensation. We believe that a portion of the compensation payable to our current CEOMessrs. Lanese and Schehr with respect to their Class B Interests is not exempt, since the terms of histheir employment agreement agreements


19


constitute a material modificationsmodification to those grants. Therefore, for fiscal year 2008, Mr. Lanese will receive compensation that is in excess of the Code Section 162(m) limit. In addition, General Zinni and Mr. Schehr may have compensation in fiscal year 2008 that exceeds the Code Section 162(m) limit due to the grant of RSUs or a material modification to their Class B equity grant from DIV Holding LLC and our incentive bonus plan.Interests grants. The Compensation Committee may approve compensation that will be in excess of the Code Section 162(m) limitation, in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for our executive officers.


Accounting Implications of Executive Equity-Based Compensation

During the fiscal year ended March 30, 200728, 2008 or during prior periods, certain members of our management and outside directors were granted a participating interest in DIV Holding LLC through a plan that granted them Class B interestsInterests in an affiliate, DIV. DIV Holding LLC. DIV Holding LLC conducts no operations and was established for the primary purpose of holding our equity.

We have retained an independent party, Value Incorporated, to conduct a fair valuefair-value analysis of the Class B interestsInterests granted to management and outside directors. Based on this analysis, the aggregate grant-date fair value, as of March 30, 2007,28, 2008, of the Class B interestsInterests granted to members of management and outside directors from November 25, 2005 through March 30, 2007,28, 2008, net of forfeitures, has been determined to be $13,284,251.$13,248,543. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we recorded compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value and commensurate with our graded vesting schedules.


General Zinni also received a grant of RSUs. RSU grants are valued equal to the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of the grant.

The NEO’s employment agreements provide for payments in connection with certain terminations of employment. A description of the executives also agreed notpayments and benefits each executive receives upon termination of employment is provided below in “Other Potential Post-Employment Payments”.
OTHER POTENTIAL POST-EMPLOYMENT PAYMENTS
The following section describes the payments and benefits that would be provided to employour NEOs in connection with any termination of employment, including resignation, involuntary termination, death, retirement, disability or solicit for employment any employeea change in control of our operating company, occurring on March 31, 2008. However, the actual amounts that would be paid under each circumstance can only be determined at the actual time of termination of employment. Since Mr. Lanese is no longer employed by our operating company, the description below, as it pertains to him, only describes and quantifies payments and benefits Mr. Lanese will receive in connection with his termination of employment by us without Cause. The assumptions and methodologies that were used to calculate the amounts paid upon a termination of employment are set forth at the end of this section.
Payments Made Upon Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Voluntary Termination For Good Cause
In the event Messrs. Rosenkranz, Schehr and Thorne are terminated by us without Cause or voluntarily terminate their employment for Good Cause, our operating company would provide them with the following payments and benefits:
• a payment equal to the pro rated portion of such executive’s incentive compensation that would be payable to such executive based on our operating company’s projected performance through the termination date;
• A payment equal to two times the sum of such executive’s then base salary plus target bonus, payable in two installments during the year following termination;
• Reimbursement for the cost of continued medical coverage for the same portion of such Executive’s COBRA health insurance premium that the operating company paid during such Executive’s employment, until the earlier of either the last day of such executive’s COBRA health insurance benefits or the date on which the Executive becomes covered under any other group health plan; and


26


• The right to exercise any vested stock options or other rights based upon the appreciation in value of our stock (but excluding any rights in Class B Interests).
In the event General Zinni’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause within one year of his date of hire, the Company will pay him a severance amount equal to the difference between $500,000 and the amount of wages earned by him through the date of his termination of employment.
Payments Made Upon Retirement, Death or Complete Disability
Messrs. Rosenkranz, Schehr and Thorne’s employment agreements provide that, if their employment is terminated by reason of Retirement, death or Complete Disability, they will receive the following payments and benefits:
• a payment equal to the pro rated portion of such executive’s incentive compensation that would be payable to such executive based on our operating company’s projected performance through the termination date; and
• The right to exercise any vested stock options or other rights based upon the appreciation in value of our stock (but excluding any rights in Class B Interests).
Pursuant to General Zinni’s employment agreement, General Zinni is not entitled to receive any payments or benefits, other than accrued base salary and unused vacation earned through the date of termination, upon his Retirement, death or Complete Disability.
Payments Made Upon Involuntary Termination for Cause, Voluntary Termination without Good Cause or a Change in Control of our Operating Company
The NEOs are not entitled to any payments or benefits from the operating company (other than accrued but unpaid compensation) in the event of an involuntary termination for Cause, voluntary termination without Good Cause or a change in control of the operating company.
Approximation of Other Potential Post-Employment Payments for Messrs. Rosenkranz, Schehr, Thorne and Zinni
The following section quantifies the potential payments and benefits that would have been paid to Messrs. Rosenkranz, Schehr, Thorne and Zinni upon a termination of their employment occurring on March 31, 2008. If Messrs. Rosenkranz, Schehr, and Thorne were terminated involuntarily without Cause or voluntarily terminated for Good Cause, they would receive cash severance payments equal to $1,305,600, $1,065,000 and $1,216,000, respectively. General Zinni is only entitled to severance payments in the event he is terminated involuntarily without Cause, in which case he would receive cash severance payments equal to approximately $177,884.
The cost to the operating company of reimbursing Messrs. Rosenkranz, Schehr and Thorne for health insurance in the event of an involuntary termination without Cause or voluntary termination for Good Cause is approximately $12,000 to $18,000 per executive.
In the event of Retirement, death, or Complete Disability, Messrs. Rosenkranz, Schehr and Thorne would receive cash severance payments equal to $244,800, $177,500 and $228,000, respectively.
Mr. Lanese’s Post-Employment Payments and Benefits
The following section describes the post-employment payments and benefits provided or to be provided to Mr. Lanese following his termination of employment by us, without Cause, on May 19, 2008. In connection with Mr. Lanese’s termination, the operating company will provide Mr. Lanese with the following payments and benefits:

27


• A cash severance payment of $3,825,000, equal to two times the sum of Mr. Lanese’s base salary plus target bonus, payable in two equal lump sum payments, with the first payment being made on the first payroll date that is six months following such termination, and the second payment being made on the first payroll date that is twelve months following such termination;
• Continued health benefits coverage until age 65, with his portion of the premium costs being the same as the amounts he paid during his employment, at a cost to the company of approximately $27,000;

Material Terms Defined
The terms “Cause”, “Good Cause”, “Complete Disability” and “Retirement”, as used above, are defined in Messrs. Lanese, Rosenkranz, Schehr and Thorne’s employment agreements. The term “Complete Disability” is defined in General Zinni’s employment agreement. The definitions of these terms are as follows:
“Cause” means: (a) the willful and continued failure by the executive to substantially perform his duties with the operating company (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness, injury or disability), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to him by the Board that identifies, in reasonable detail, the manner in which the Board believes that executive has not substantially performed his duties in good faith; (b) the willful engaging by executive in conduct that causes material harm to the operating company, monetarily or otherwise; (c) executive’s conviction of a felony arising from conduct during the executive'sterm of his employment agreement; or (d) executive’s willful malfeasance or willful misconduct in connection with executive’s duties.
“Good Cause” means any of the following actions taken by the operating company or any subsidiary that employs the executive: (a) assignment of the executive to duties that are materially inconsistent with his status as a senior executive or which represent a substantial diminution of his duties or responsibilities in the operating company; (b) reduction in the executive’s base salary, except in connection with an across-the-board salary reduction for all executives; (c) a failure by the operating company to pay any of executive’s compensation in accordance with operating company’s policy; (d) change of executive’s title; (e) failure to comply with the obligations of the operating company pursuant to the executive’s employment agreement; or (f) failure of a successor to the operating company to confirm in writing, within five business days of its succession, its obligation to assume and perform all obligations of the employment agreement.
“Complete Disability” is defined as the inability of the executive to perform his duties under his employment agreement, because the executive has become permanently disabled within the meaning of any policy of disability income insurance covering employees of the operating company then in force. In the event the operating company has no policy of disability income insurance covering employees of the operating company in force when executive becomes disabled, the term “Complete Disability” means the inability of the executive to perform his duties under his employment agreement by reason of any incapacity, physical or mental, which the Board, based upon medical advice or an opinion provided by a licensed physician acceptable to the Board, determines to have incapacitated executive from satisfactorily performing all of executive’s usual services for the operating company for a period of one year followingat least 120 days during any12-month period (whether or not consecutive).
“Retirement” means the executive'svoluntary retirement of the executive from the operating company (1) at or after age 62 or (b) at any time after the combination of the executive’s age and service with the operating company or any predecessor or subsidiary equals or exceeds 75 years.

APPROVALRATIFICATION OF THE AMENDED & RESTATED DYNCORP INTERNATIONAL
EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN
SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
(Proposal 2 on the Proxy Card)

        The Amended & Restated DynCorp International Executive Incentive Plan ("EIP") was adopted by the Compensation Committee on behalf of the Board on June 11, 2007, subject to stockholder approval. The following is a summary of the material terms of the EIP. The full text of the EIP is attached as Annex 1 to this Proxy Statement, and the following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the EIP.


Purpose of Stockholder Approval

        Stockholders are being asked to approve the EIP, including the performance criteria described below, in order to ensure that incentive bonus payments otherwise meeting the requisites of "performance based" compensation under Code Section 162(m) will not be disallowed as a deduction to the Company for federal income tax purposes. The EIP is a modification of the executive incentive plan which the Company adopted prior to becoming publicly held.

        Code Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction to a publicly held corporation for any compensation (with certain exceptions) in excess of $1,000,000 paid to any person who is the principal executive officer or among the Company's three most highly compensated employees other than the principal executive officer or principal financial officer, whose compensation must be reported to stockholders under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("covered employees"). An exception is made, however, for remuneration that qualifies as "performance-based" compensation. Performance-based compensation is not counted for purposes of this limitation on the deductibility of compensation paid to the covered employees. Compensation payable solely on account of the attainment of one or more performance goals will be considered performance-based compensation if (1) the performance goals are determined by a compensation committee of the board of directors which comprises solely of two or more outside directors, (2) the material terms under which the remuneration is paid, including performance goals, are disclosed to the stockholders and are approved by a majority vote in a separate stockholder vote before the payment of such remuneration, and (3) before the payment of such remuneration, the compensation committee certifies that the performance goals and other material terms were in fact satisfied.


Summary of the EIP

        The EIP is administered by the Compensation Committee, or a subcommittee thereof consisting solely of two or more directors of the Company who are "outside directors" within the meaning of Code Section 162(m). The plan year is the Company's fiscal year or such other period as may be selected by the Compensation Committee.

        The purpose of the EIP is to motivate and reward officers and other executives who have significant impact on the Company's strategy, performance and profitability for the achievement of pre-established, measured objectives which directly impact the financial performance of the Company and increase shareholder value.

        Participation in the EIP is limited to officers and executive employees of the Company who are selected to participate in the EIP by reason of their position of significant responsibility in the overall operations of the corporate enterprise or in the operations of one or more of the Company's business segments. The Compensation Committee shall review and approve, within the earlier of 90 days following the beginning of the plan year or the date upon which 25% of the plan year has elapsed, management's recommendations as to (1) the persons who shall participate in the EIP for the plan year, (2) individual target awards; (3) performance criteria; and (4) performance targets. The performance criteria are ratified by the Executive Committee of the Board.

        The Board may terminate the EIP at any time or prospectively amend or modify the EIP.



Performance Criteria

        The performance criteria for determining whether the Company shall pay annual incentive bonuses under the EIP to persons approved by the Compensation Committee to participate in the EIP are based on the attainment by the Company for the plan year of certain levels (approved for each plan year by the Compensation Committee) of one or more of the following financial objectives used to measure performance: net sales; days sales outstanding; revenue; revenue growth or product revenue growth; operating income (before or after taxes); pre- or after-tax income (before or after allocation of corporate overhead and bonus); earnings per share; net income (before or after taxes); return on equity; total shareholder return; return on assets or net assets; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the shares or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company; market share; gross profits; earnings (including earnings before taxes, earnings before interest and taxes or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); economic value-added models or equivalent metrics; booking value of contract awards; year-end backlog; comparisons with various stock market indices; reductions in costs; cash flow or cash flow per share (before or after dividends); return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital); cash flow return on investment; improvement in or attainment of expense levels or working capital levels; operating margins, gross margins or cash margin; year-end cash; debt reductions; stockholder equity; market share; and implementation, completion or attainment of measurable objectives with respect to research, development, products or projects, production volume levels, acquisitions and divestitures and recruiting and maintaining personnel.

        For each participant for each plan year, an amount equal to specified percentages (which are recommended by management and reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee) of the participant's base salary will be earned by the participant as an incentive bonus for the plan year if the Company or applicable division or segment achieves one or more of the performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee as described. The performance criteria are set at company or division/segment level depending upon the scope of responsibility of the participant. In calculating the incentive bonus amounts, the Compensation Committee approves management recommendations as to a specific performance weight for each participant among the selected performance criteria. The Compensation Committee also predetermines a maximum percentage of the participant's base salary that will serve as a ceiling on the amount of incentive bonus that a participant may earn for the plan year, which in no event shall exceed the lesser of two hundred percent (200%) of the participant's base salary or the amount of $2,000,000. The base salary used for all these calculations is the base salary for the participant for the plan year, as determined by the Compensation Committee as of the first day of the fifth month of the plan year.


Payments

        The amount of incentive bonus earned by a participant for the plan year is payable in cash after the close of the plan year, following certification in writing by the Compensation Committee that the performance goals have been satisfied. Neither the approval of the EIP by the stockholders nor any action taken under the EIP gives to any participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.


New Plan Benefits

        Benefits under the EIP to the Company's officers and executive employees are not currently determinable because all incentive bonus payments under the EIP are discretionary.


Board Recommendation

The Board recommends a vote for the proposal to approve the EIP.



APPROVAL OF DYNCORP INTERNATIONAL 2007 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
(Proposal 3 on the Proxy Card)

        The DynCorp International 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("OIP") was adopted by the Compensation Committee on behalf of the Board on June 11, 2007, subject to stockholder approval. The following is a summary of the material terms of the OIP. The full text of the OIP is attached as Annex 2 to this Proxy Statement, and the following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the OIP.


Purpose of Stockholder Approval

        Stockholders are being asked to approve the OIP, including the performance criteria described below and the issuance of shares of common stock to eligible participants in accordance with the OIP, in order to assist the Company in meeting the purpose set forth below and to ensure that incentive awards otherwise meeting the requisites of "performance based" compensation under Code Section 162(m) will not be disallowed as a deduction to the Company for federal income tax purposes.


Summary of the OIP

        The purpose of the OIP is to assist the Company in attracting and retaining selected individuals to serve as employees, directors and consultants of the Company who are expected to contribute to the Company's success and to achieve long-term objectives which will inure to the benefit of all stockholders of the Company through certain incentives.

        The OIP will become effective upon approval by the stockholders and will terminate on the tenth anniversary of that date, provided that awards granted before the termination date will remain in effect until they have been exercised, terminated or expired.

        The OIP will be administered by the Compensation Committee, or a subcommittee thereof, whose members must qualify as "non-employee directors" under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, "outside directors" under Code Section 162(m) and "independent directors" for purpose of the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange. The Compensation Committee has the authority to select the participants who will receive awards under the OIP, to determine the type and terms of the awards and to interpret and administer the OIP. The OIP is designed to provide the Compensation Committee with a wide range of awards and performance criteria so that it can apply the proper types of incentives to fit the circumstances. The OIP allows the Compensation Committee to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock shares or units, other share-based awards and performance awards. Awards may be granted under the OIP to any employee, non-employee member of the Board of Directors or consultant who provides services (other than services relating to the sale or promotion of the Company's securities) to the Company, except for incentive stock options which may be granted only to the Company's employees.

        The Compensation Committee is authorized to grant stock options under the OIP. Options may be either "incentive stock options", as defined in Code Section 422, or non-statutory stock options. The specific terms of each option grant, including vesting conditions, exercise price and option term (not to exceed ten years), will be set forth in option agreements with the participant. The option exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. Unless otherwise provided in the option agreement, the exercise price may be paid in cash or cash equivalents, by tendering previously purchased shares at their then-current fair market value or, if the Compensation Committee consents, by withholding shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the option or other methods approved by the Compensation Committee. Option shares may be issued in the form of restricted stock.



        The Compensation Committee may grant stock appreciation rights under the OIP. A stock appreciation right entitles the holder to receive an amount in cash, shares of common stock, other property, or a combination thereof (as determined by the Compensation Committee) upon exercise, computed by reference to appreciation in the value of the common stock. The grant price of a stock appreciation right cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock at the time of grant. The expiration dates of stock appreciation rights cannot be more than ten years after the date of the original grant.

        Prior to the issuance of shares upon the exercise of an option or stock appreciation right, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder will exist with respect to the underlying shares.

        The Compensation Committee may not, without the approval of the stockholders, (i) lower the exercise price of a stock option or the grant date price of a stock appreciation right after it is granted, (ii) cancel a stock option or stock appreciation right in exchange for cash or another award, or (iii) take any other action with respect to a stock option or stock appreciation right that may be treated as a re-pricing under the rules and regulations of the NYSE, unless the reduction is equitable or appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of a participant in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend or distribution (whether in cash, shares or other property, other than a regular cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or similar transaction or other change in corporate structure affecting the shares or the value thereof.

        The Compensation Committee may grant restricted shares of common stock or restricted stock units under the OIP, with or without payment therefor, as the Compensation Committee shall determine in its discretion. Awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units may be awarded as a form of payment of other performance awards or other cash-based incentive compensation. The terms applicable to a specific grant, including vesting and forfeiture provisions and other restrictions, are to be set forth in an agreement with the participant. Following the award of restricted stock shares, the participant has all the voting rights of a stockholder.

        The Compensation Committee may grant other share-based awards under the OIP, having such vesting, forfeiture and other terms as may be set forth in an award agreement.

        The Compensation Committee may also make awards of performance shares, performance units or performance cash incentives under the OIP, subject to the satisfaction of specified performance criteria. Performance awards may be paid in shares of common stock, cash, other property, or any combination thereof.

        Subject to adjustment as provided in the OIP, no participant may be granted (i) options or stock appreciation rights during any 12-month period with respect to more than 1,000,000 shares or (ii) restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and/or other share-based awards in any 12-month period that are intended to comply with the performance-based exception under Code Section 162(m) and are denominated in shares with respect to more than 300,000 shares. In addition to the foregoing, the maximum dollar value that may be earned by any participant in any 12-month period with respect to performance awards that are intended to comply with the performance-based exception under Code Section 162(m) and are denominated in cash is $4,000,000. If an award is cancelled, the cancelled award shall continue to be counted toward the applicable limitations.


Performance Criteria

        If the Compensation Committee determines at the time a restricted stock award, restricted stock unit award, performance award or other share-based award is granted to a participant who is, or is likely to be, as of the end of the tax year in which the Company would claim a tax deduction in



connection with such award, a covered employee, then the Committee may provide that the lapsing of restrictions or the distribution of cash, shares or other property, as applicable, shall be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee, which shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the following: net sales; booking value of contract awards; year-end backlog; days sales outstanding; revenue; revenue growth or product revenue growth; operating income (before or after taxes); pre- or after-tax income (before or after allocation of corporate overhead and bonus); earnings per share; net income (before or after taxes); return on equity; total shareholder return; return on assets or net assets; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the shares or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company; market share; gross profits; earnings (including EBITDA); economic value-added models or equivalent metrics; comparisons with various stock market indices; reductions in costs; cash flow or cash flow per share (before or after dividends); return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital); cash flow return on investment; improvement in or attainment of expense levels or working capital levels; operating margins, gross margins or cash margin; year-end cash; debt reductions; stockholder equity; market share; regulatory achievements; and implementation, completion or attainment of measurable objectives with respect to research, development, products or projects, production volume levels, acquisitions and divestitures and recruiting and maintaining personnel. Such performance goals also may be based solely by reference to the Company's performance or the performance of a subsidiary, division, business segment or business unit of the Company, or based upon the relative performance of other companies or upon comparisons of any of the indicators of performance relative to other companies. The Compensation Committee may also exclude charges related to an event or occurrence which the Compensation Committee determines should appropriately be excluded, including (a) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges, (b) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or not within the reasonable control of the Company's management or (c) the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such performance goals shall be set by the Compensation Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of, Code Section 162(m).


Shares Available for Issuance

        Subject to adjustment in the event of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, stock split or similar transaction, no more than 2,250,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the OIP. In the event of forfeiture, expiration or termination or settlement in cash of an award without issuance of shares previously granted, those unissued shares are eligible for later issuance under the OIP. In the event option exercise prices or tax withholdings are paid in the form of surrendered option shares, those shares are also eligible for later issuance under the OIP.


Change in Control

        Award agreements may provide that, in the event of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the OIP), options and stock appreciation rights shall be cancelled and terminated without any payment therefore if the option exercise price or stock appreciation right grant date price is less than the fair market value of a share as of the date of the change in control.

        Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, in the event of a change in control in which the successor company replaces an option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock and restricted stock unit award or other share-based award, if a participant's employment with such successor company (or a subsidiary thereof) terminates within 24 months following such change in control (or such other period set forth in the award agreement) and under circumstances specified in the award agreement, (i) options and stock appreciation rights outstanding as of the date of termination will immediately vest, become fully exercisable, and may thereafter be exercised for 24 months (or the period of time set



forth in the award agreement), (ii) restrictions and deferral limitations on restricted stock and restricted stock units shall lapse and the restricted stock or restricted stock units shall become free of all restrictions and limitations and become fully vested, and (iii) the restrictions and deferral limitations and other conditions applicable to any other share-based awards or any other awards shall lapse, and such other share-based awards or such other awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations or conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.

        In the event of a change in control in which cash is the sole consideration, (i) the Committee shall determine whether all performance awards shall be considered to be earned and payable in full or pro rata based on the portion of performance period completed as of the date of the change in control, and any other restriction shall lapse and such performance awards shall be immediately settled or distributed, (ii) all options and stock appreciation rights outstanding as of the date of the change in control shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable, (iii) restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to restricted stock and restricted stock units shall lapse and the restricted stock and restricted stock units shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested, and (iv) the restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to any other share-based awards or any other awards shall lapse, and such other share-based awards or such other awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, in the event of any other change in control of the Company to the extent the successor company does not assume or substitute for an option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock and restricted stock unit award or other share-based award: (i) those options and stock appreciation rights outstanding as of the date of the change in control that are not assumed or substituted for shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable, (ii) restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to restricted stock and restricted stock units that are not replaced shall lapse and the restricted stock and restricted stock units shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested, and (iii) the restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to any other share-based awards or any other awards that are not replaced for shall lapse, and such other share-based awards or such other awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.

        The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, each option and stock appreciation right outstanding shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the participant, and/or that each participant shall receive, with respect to each share subject to such option or stock appreciation right, an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such share immediately prior to the occurrence of such change in control over the exercise price per share of such option and/or stock appreciation right; such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of stock or property (including the stock or property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.


Tax Consequences to Participants.

        The following is a brief summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences relating to awards under the OIP. This summary is not intended to be complete and does not describe state, local, foreign or other tax consequences. The tax information summarized is not tax advice and cannot be used for the purpose of avoiding penalties under the Code.

        Nonqualified Stock Options ("NSOs").    In general, (i) no income will be recognized by an optionee at the time an NSO is granted; (ii) at the time of exercise of an NSO, ordinary income will be recognized by the optionee in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares, if unrestricted, on the date of exercise over the option price paid for the shares of common stock; and (iii) at the time of sale of shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an



NSO, appreciation (or depreciation) in value of the shares after the date of exercise will be treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on how long the shares have been held.

        Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs").    No income will be recognized by an optionee upon the grant of an ISO. In general, no income will be recognized upon the exercise of an ISO. However, the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares at exercise over the option price paid for the shares of common stock constitutes a preference item for the alternative minimum tax. If shares of common stock are issued to the optionee pursuant to the exercise of an ISO, and if no disqualifying disposition of such shares is made by such optionee within two years after the date of the grant or within one year after the transfer of such shares to the optionee, then upon sale of such shares any amount realized in excess of the option price will be taxed to the optionee as a long-term capital gain and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss.

        If shares of common stock acquired upon the timely exercise of an ISO are disposed of prior to the expiration of either holding period described above, the optionee generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of such shares at the time of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on the disposition of such shares in a sale or exchange) over the option price paid for such shares. Any further gain (or loss) realized by the participant generally will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on the holding period.

        Stock Appreciation Rights.    No income will be recognized by a participant in connection with the grant of a stock appreciation right. When the stock appreciation right is exercised, the participant normally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of exercise an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any unrestricted shares of common stock or other property received on the exercise.

        Restricted Stock.    The recipient of restricted shares of common stock generally will not be subject to tax until the shares are no longer subject to forfeiture or restrictions on transfer for purposes of Code Section 83 (the "restrictions"). At such time the recipient will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of the restricted shares (reduced by any amount paid by the participant for such restricted shares). However, a recipient who makes an election under Code Section 83(b) within 30 days of the date of transfer of the shares will have taxable ordinary income on the date of transfer of the shares equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares (determined without regard to the restrictions) over the purchase price, if any, of such restricted shares. Any appreciation (or depreciation) realized upon a later disposition of such shares will be treated as long-term or short-term capital gain (or loss) depending upon how long the shares have been held. If a Code Section 83(b) election has not been made, any dividends received with respect to restricted shares that are subject to the restrictions generally will be treated as compensation that is taxable as ordinary income to the participant and not eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to dividends.

        Restricted Stock Units.    Generally, no income will be recognized upon the award of restricted stock units. The recipient of a restricted stock unit award generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on any cash received and the fair market value of any unrestricted shares of common stock or other property on the date that such amounts are transferred to the participant under the award (reduced by any amount paid by the participant for such restricted stock units).

        Performance Awards.    No income generally will be recognized upon the grant of a performance award. Upon payment in respect of a performance award, the recipient generally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of receipt an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any non-restricted shares of common stock or other property received.




Tax Consequences to the Company.

        To the extent that a participant recognizes ordinary income in the circumstances described above, the Company or the subsidiary for which the participant performs services will be entitled to a corresponding expense deduction provided that, among other things, the expense (i) meets the test of reasonableness, (ii) is an ordinary and necessary business expense, (iii) is not an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Code Section 280G and (iv) is not disallowed by the $1,000,000 limitation on certain executive compensation under Code Section 162(m).


New Plan Benefits

        Benefits under the OIP to the Company's employees or directors are not currently determinable because all grants under the OIP are discretionary.

If you would like to a Participant for a Plan Year shall not exceed the lesser of $2,000,000 or 200% of the Participant's Base Salary.

Specific Performance Criteria and Performance Targets will be established for each Participant by the Compensation Committee as early as practicable in the Plan Year (but in no event later than the earlier of 90 days following the beginning of the Plan Year or the date upon which 25% of the Plan Year has elapsed). The Compensation Committee will, as appropriate, define the particular Performance Criteria selected to apply for a given Plan Year.

These Performance Criteria will be assigned a weighting to reflect the percentage of the Target Award attributable to each Performance Criteria. The sum of the weightings for all Performance Criteria will equal 100%. The Performance Criteria may be objectives that are Company-wide or related to a subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit and may be measured on an absolute or cumulative basis or on a basis of percentage of improvement over time, and may be measured in terms of Company performance (or performance of the applicable subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit) or measured in terms of performance relative to selected peer companies or a market index.

At the end of the Plan Year, actual performance achievement levels for each Performance Criteria will be calculated by management and submitted for approval by the Compensation Committee for each Participant. An interpolated Payout Percentage will be calculated for each Performance Criteria for each Plan Year. The Payout Percentage determined for each Performance Criteria will be multiplied by the percentage weighting for the respective Performance Criteria. This will be the Weighted Payout Percentage for each Performance Criteria. The sum of the Weighted Payout Percentages for all applicable Performance Criteria will determine the Total Payout Percentage for each Participant.

VII.
AWARD DETERMINATION

      The Total Payout Percentage determined in Article VI for each Participant will be multiplied by the Participant's Target Award to determine the amount of Award payable. These calculated Awards shall be rounded as to the nearest $100.

      Should a Participant transfer to another organization during the Plan Year, the final Award will be jointly determined and prorated for the time spent in each organization.

      Unless otherwise provided, an Award to a Participant hired during the Plan Year will be prorated based upon the number of full months employed by the Company as a percentage of the full year.

              (d)   Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such vesting conditions as may be imposed by the Committee. The Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on the terms of exercise and the grant price of any Stock Appreciation Right, as it shall deem appropriate.

              (f)    Without the approval of the Company's stockholders, other than pursuant to Section 12.2, the Committee shall not (i) reduce the grant price of any Stock Appreciation Right after the date of grant (ii) cancel any Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award (other than in connection with Substitute Awards), and (iii) take any other action with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Shares are traded.

              (g)   The Committee may impose such terms and conditions on Stock Appreciation Rights granted in conjunction with any Award (other than an Option) as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.

    10.
    CODE SECTION 162(m) PROVISIONS

    10.1.   Covered Employees.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if the Committee determines at the time a Restricted Stock Award, a Restricted Stock Unit Award, a Performance Award or an Other Share-Based Award is granted to a Participant who is, or is likely to be, as of the end of the tax year in which the Company would claim a tax deduction in connection with such Award, a Covered Employee, then the Committee may provide that this Article 10 is applicable to such Award.

    10.2.   Performance Criteria.  If the Committee determines that a Restricted Stock Award, a Restricted Stock Unit, a Performance Award or an Other Share-Based Award is intended to be subject to this Article 10, the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the distribution of cash, Shares or other property pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance goals established by the Committee, which shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the following: net sales; booking value of contract awards; year-end backlog; days sales outstanding; revenue; revenue growth or product revenue growth; operating income (before or after taxes); pre- or after-tax income (before or after allocation of corporate overhead and bonus); earnings per share; net income (before or after taxes); return on equity; total shareholder return; return on assets or net assets; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the Shares or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company; market share; gross profits; earnings (including earnings before taxes, earnings before interest and taxes or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); economic value-added models or equivalent metrics; comparisons with various stock market indices; reductions in costs; cash flow or cash flow per share (before or after dividends); return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital); cash flow return on investment; improvement in or attainment of expense levels or working capital levels; operating margins, gross margins or cash margin; year-end cash; debt reductions; stockholder equity; market share; regulatory achievements; and implementation, completion or attainment of measurable objectives with respect to research, development, products or projects, production volume levels, acquisitions and divestitures and recruiting and maintaining personnel. Such performance goals also may be based solely



    by reference to the Company's performance or the performance of a Subsidiary, division, business segment or business unit of the Company, or based upon the relative performance of other companies or upon comparisons of any of the indicators of performance relative to other companies. The Committee may also exclude charges related to an event or occurrence which the Committee determines should appropriately be excluded, including (a) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges, (b) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or not within the reasonable control of the Company's management, or (c) the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such performance goals shall be set by the Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of, Section 162(m) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder.

    10.3.   Adjustments.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan (other than Article 11), with respect to any Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Award or Other Share-Based Award that is subject to this Section 10, the Committee may adjust downwards, but not upwards, the amount payable pursuant to such Award, and the Committee may not waive the achievement of the applicable performance goals, except in the case of the death or disability of the Participant or as otherwise determined by the Committee in special circumstances.

    10.4.   Restrictions.  The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Awards subject to this Article as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

    10.5.   Limitations on Grants to Individual Participants.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12.2, no Participant may be granted (i) Options or Stock Appreciation Rights during any 12-month period with respect to more than 1,000,000 Shares or (ii) Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards, Performance Awards and/or Other Share-Based Awards in any 12-month period that are intended to comply with the performance-based exception under Code Section 162(m) and are denominated in Shares with respect to more than 300,000 Shares (the "Limitations"). In addition to the foregoing, the maximum dollar value that may be earned by any Participant in any 12-month period with respect to Performance Awards that are intended to comply with the performance-based exception under Code Section 162(m) and are denominated in cash is $4,000,000. If an Award is cancelled, the cancelled Award shall continue to be counted toward the applicable Limitations.

    11.
    CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

    11.1.   Impact on Certain Awards.  Award Agreements may provide that in the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in Section 11.3): (i) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control shall be cancelled and terminated without payment therefore if the Fair Market Value of one Share as of the date of the Change in Control is less than the per Share Option exercise price or Stock Appreciation Right grant price, and (ii) all Performance Awards shall be considered to be earned and payable (either in full or pro rata based on the portion of Performance Period completed as of the date of the Change in Control), and any other restriction shall lapse and such Performance Awards shall be immediately settled or distributed.

    11.2.   Assumption or Substitution of Certain Awards.  (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section and unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company in which the successor company assumes or replaces an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Other Share-Based Award, if a Participant's employment with such successor company (or a subsidiary thereof) terminates within 24 months following such Change in Control (or such other period set forth in the Award Agreement, including prior thereto if applicable) and under the circumstances specified in the Award Agreement: (i) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of such termination of



    employment will immediately vest, become fully exercisable, and may thereafter be exercised for 24 months (or the period of time set forth in the Award Agreement), (ii) restrictions, limitations and other conditions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall lapse and the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested, and (iii) the restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to any Other Share-Based Awards or any other Awards shall lapse, and such Other Share-Based Awards or such other Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant. For the purposes of this Section 11.1, an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Other Share-Based Award shall be considered assumed or replaced if following the Change in Control the assumed or replacement award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Other Share-Based Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares).

              (b)   In the event of a Change in Control of the Company pursuant to an event listed in clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 11.3(a) in which cash is the sole consideration for the Shares, (i) the Committee shall determine whether all Performance Awards shall be considered to be earned and payable in full or pro rata based on the portion of Performance Period completed as of the date of the Change in Control, and any other restriction shall lapse and such Performance Awards shall be immediately settled or distributed, (ii) all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable, (iii) restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall lapse and the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested, and (iv) the restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to any Other Share-Based Awards or any other Awards shall lapse, and such Other Share-Based Awards or such other Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement in the event of any Change in Control of the Company that is not described in the first sentence of this paragraph, to the extent the successor company does not assume or replace an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Other Share-Based Award: (i) those Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control that are not assumed or replaced shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable, (ii) restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that are not assumed or replaced shall lapse and the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested, and (iii) the restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to any Other Share-Based Awards or any other Awards that are not assumed or replaced shall lapse, and such Other Share-Based Awards or such other Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.

              (c)   The Committee, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, each Option and Stock Appreciation Right outstanding shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Participant, and/or that each Participant shall receive, with respect to each Share subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Share immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Option and/or Stock Appreciation Right; such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of stock or property



      (including the stock or property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.

    11.3.   Change in Control.  For purposes of the Plan,, Change in Control means the occurrence of any of the following events:

              (a)   (i) sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a Person or Group which is not an Affiliate of Veritas Capital Management, L.P. ("Veritas"); (ii) a sale by the Company, Veritas, or any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity which is affiliated through equity ownership or otherwise ("Affiliate") with the Company or Veritas resulting in more than 50% of the voting stock of the Company being held by a Person or Group that does not include Veritas or any of its Affiliates or (iii) a merger or consolidation of the Company into another Person which is not an Affiliate of Veritas; if and only if any such event listed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this paragraph results in the inability of Veritas to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or of the resulting entity; or

              (b)   Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

    12.
    GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS

    12.1.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan.  The Board may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for stockholder approval imposed by applicable law, including the rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Shares are traded; provided that the Board may not amend the Plan in any manner that would result in noncompliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act; and further provided that the Board may not, without the approval of the Company's stockholders, amend the Plan to (a) increase the number of Shares that may be the subject of Awards under the Plan (except for adjustments pursuant to Section 12.2), (b) expand the types of awards available under the Plan, (c) materially expand the class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan, (d) amend any provision of Section 5.3, (e) increase the maximum permissible term of any Option specified by Section 5.4 or the maximum permissible term of a Stock Appreciation Right specified by Section 6.2(d), or (f) amend any provision of Section 10.5. The Board may not, without the approval of the Company's stockholders, take any other action with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Shares are traded, including a reduction of the exercise price of an Option or the grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right or the exchange of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right for cash or another Award. In addition, no amendments to, or suspension or termination of, the Plan shall in any way impair the rights of a Participant under any Award previously granted without such Participant's written consent.

    12.2.   Adjustments.  In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend or distribution (whether in cash, shares or other property, other than a regular cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or similar transaction or other change in corporate structure affecting the Shares or the value thereof, such adjustments and other substitutions shall be made to the Plan and to Awards as the Committee deems equitable or appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan, taking into consideration the accounting and tax consequences, including such adjustments in the aggregate number, class and kind of securities that may be delivered under the Plan, the Limitations, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued as incentive stock options and, in the aggregate or to any one Participant, in the number, class, kind and option or exercise price of securities subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan (including, if the Committee deems appropriate, the substitution of similar options to purchase the shares of, or other awards denominated in the shares of, another company) as the Committee may



    determine to be appropriate provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.

    12.3.   Transferability of Awards.  Except as provided below, no Award and no Shares subject to Awards described in Article 8 that have not been issued or as to which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period has not lapsed, may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Award may be exercised during the life of the Participant only by the Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative. To the extent and under such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee, a Participant may assign or transfer an Award (each transferee thereof, a "Permitted Assignee") to (i) the Participant's spouse, children or grandchildren (including any adopted and step children or grandchildren), parents, grandparents or siblings, (ii) to a trust for the benefit of one or more of the Participant or the Persons referred to in clause (i), (iii) to a partnership, limited liability company or corporation in which the participant or the Persons referred to in clause (i) are the only partners, members or shareholders or (iv) for charitable donations; provided that such Permitted Assignee shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement relating to the transferred Award and shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company evidencing such obligations; and provided further that such Participant shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Company shall cooperate with any Permitted Assignee and the Company's transfer agent in effectuating any transfer permitted under this Section.

    12.4.   Termination of Employment.  The Committee shall determine and set forth in each Award Agreement whether any Awards granted in such Award Agreement will continue to be exercisable, and the terms of such exercise, on and after the date that a Participant ceases to be employed by or to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary (including as a Director), whether by reason of death, disability, voluntary or involuntary termination of employment or services, or otherwise. The date of termination of a Participant's employment or services will be determined by the Committee, which determination will be final.

    12.5.   Deferral; Dividend Equivalents.  The Committee shall be authorized to establish procedures pursuant to which the payment of any Award may be deferred. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement, the recipient of an Award (including any deferred Award) may, if so determined by the Committee, be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, cash, stock or other property dividends, or cash payments in amounts equivalent to cash, stock or other property dividends on Shares ("Dividend Equivalents") with respect to the number of Shares covered by the Award, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee may provide that such amounts and Dividend Equivalents (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested and may provide that such amounts and Dividend Equivalents are subject to the same vesting or performance conditions as the underlying Award.

    13.
    MISCELLANEOUS

    13.1.   Tax Withholding.  The Company shall have the right to make all payments or distributions pursuant to the Plan to a Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) (any such person, a "Payee") net of any applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid or withheld as a result of (a) the grant of any Award, (b) the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (c) the delivery of Shares or cash, (d) the lapse of any restrictions in connection with any Award or (e) any other event occurring pursuant to the Plan. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts otherwise payable to such Payee such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Payee to pay such withholding taxes. If the Payee shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company or its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Payee or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. The


    Committee shall be authorized to establish procedures for election by Participants to satisfy such obligation for the payment of such taxes by tendering previously acquired Shares (either actually or by attestation, valued at their then Fair Market Value), or by directing the Company to retain Shares (up to the Participant's minimum required tax withholding rate or such other rate that will not trigger a negative accounting impact) otherwise deliverable in connection with the Award.

    13.2.   Right of Discharge Reserved; Claims to Awards.  Nothing in the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any Employee or Director the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment or service of (or to demote or to exclude from future Awards under the Plan) any such Employee or Director at any time for any reason. Except as specifically provided by the Committee, the Company shall not be liable for the loss of existing or potential profit from an Award granted in the event of termination of an employment or other relationship. No Employee or Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Employees or Participants under the Plan.

    13.3.   Substitute Awards.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the terms of Substitute Awards may vary from the terms set forth in the Plan to the extent the Committee deems appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the awards in substitution for which they are granted.

    13.4.   Forfeiture Events.  (a) The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant's rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, termination of employment for cause, termination of the Participant's provision of services to the Company and/or a Subsidiary, violation of material Company, and/or Subsidiary policies, breach of noncompetition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company, and/or its Subsidiaries.

              (b)   If the Company is required to file an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, if the Participant knowingly or recklessly engaged in the misconduct, or knowingly or recklessly failed to prevent or report the misconduct, or if the Participant is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Participant shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award earned or accrued for such period as determined by the Committee following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever just occurred) of the financial document reflecting such material noncompliance.

    13.5.   Stop Transfer Orders.  All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

    13.6.   Nature of Payments.  All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services performed or to be performed for the Company or any Subsidiary, division or business unit of the Company. Any income or gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan constitute a special incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be taken into account, to the extent permissible under applicable law, as compensation for purposes of any of the employee benefit plans of the



    Company or any Subsidiary except as may be determined by the Committee or by the Board or board of directors of the applicable Subsidiary.

    13.7.   Other Plans.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

    13.8.   Severability.  If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall (a) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect, and (b) not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under the Plan, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent such payment or benefit from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable shall be made or provided under the Plan.

    13.9.   Construction.  As used in the Plan, the words "include" and "including," and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation."

    13.10.   Unfunded Status of the Plan.  The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver the Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

    13.11.   Governing Law.  The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws, and construed accordingly.

    13.12.   Effective Date of Plan; Termination of Plan.  The Plan shall be effective on the date of the approval of the Plan by the holders of the shares entitled to vote at a duly constituted meeting of the stockholders of the Company. The Plan shall be null and void and of no effect if the foregoing condition is not fulfilled and in such event each Award shall, notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, be null and void and of no effect. Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time on or prior to the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan, on which date the Plan will expire except as to Awards then outstanding under the Plan. Such outstanding Awards shall remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired.

    13.13.   Foreign Employees.  Awards may be granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States, or both, on such terms and conditions different from those applicable to Awards to Employees employed in the United States as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable in order to recognize differences in local law or tax policy.
