In October 2006, the Board established and adopted guidelines that it follows in matters of Directorscorporate governance. These Corporate Governance Guidelines assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and provide a framework for the efficient operation of our Company, consistent with the best interests of our stockholders and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are posted on the “Corporate Governance” page in the Investors Relations section of our website atwww.mantech.com (our Website).

Director Independence

The Board is comprised of a majority of directors who are independent from management. Each of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and NominationsNominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists entirely of independent directors.

The Board has conducted an evaluation of director independence, based on the marketplace rules and listingindependence standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq)applicable to Nasdaq-listed companies and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).SEC. In connection with this review,the course of the Board’s evaluation of the independence of each non-management director, the Board evaluatedconsidered any banking, commercial, charitable, familialtransactions, relationships and other relationshipsarrangements between each such director (or any member of each director, including those relationships that are described underhis or her immediate family) and the caption “Certain RelationshipsCompany and Related Transactions” inits subsidiaries and affiliates. The purpose of this proxy statement, in orderevaluation is to determine that our independent directors do not havewhether any relationships or transactions exist that could impair their independence. be inconsistent with a determination by the Board that a director has no relationship that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

As a result of this evaluation, the Board has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Campbell, Fatzinger, Jeremiah, Kerr, Porter and Stern is “independent” within the meaningfollowing directors nominated for election at the Annual Meeting are independent of the Nasdaq listingCompany and its management under the above referenced standards and SEC rulesregulations: Mary Bush, Barry Campbell, Walter Fatzinger, David Jeremiah, Richard Kerr, Kenneth Minihan, and regulation.Stephen Porter.

In its evaluation, the Board specifically considered that the Company had paid Ms. Bush consulting fees of approximately $11,000 in 2006 for her service on the Company’s advisory board prior to her election to the Board of Directors in October 2006. Additionally, the Board considered that Mr. Porter is Senior Counsel with

the law firm of Arnold & Porter, which has performed legal services for the Company from time to time. In 2006, the Company and Mr. Porter agreed that the Company would not engage Arnold & Porter on any new matters so long as Mr. Porter remained on the Board. In 2006, the Company paid the law firm of Arnold & Porter approximately $60,000 for legal services rendered in the course of completing the firm’s work on prior engagements. After reviewing these transactions, the Board concluded that each of Ms. Bush and Mr. Porter met the qualifications of an independent director.

The Board determined that Mr.George Pedersen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr.Robert Coleman, our President and Chief Operating Officer, are not independent because they are employed by the Company. The Board also determined that Mr.Richard Armitage is not independent because his brother-in-law is a partner with the Company’s independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP.

Additionally,Audit Committee Member Qualifications and Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Board annually reviews the qualifications of our Audit Committee members in connection with its evaluation,light of the Nasdaq listing standards’ definition of independence for audit committee members and applicable SEC rules and regulations. The Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee is independent, as director independence is specifically defined with respect to Audit Committee members under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules and regulations.

The Board has also determined that the Company has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on the Audit Committee. The Board has identified Mr. Campbell as a member of the Audit Committee who (i) qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC rules and regulations governing the composition of the Audit Committee, and (ii) satisfies the financial sophistication requirement of the Nasdaq listing standards. Mr. Campbell is independent from management, as further explained below.such term is used in applicable SEC regulations.

Director Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders

We invite all of our directors to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, and we strongly encourage all of them to do so. In furtherance of this policy, we have scheduled one of our regularly scheduled Board meetings on the same day as the Annual Meeting. In 2005,2006, all but two of our directors attended our annual meeting of stockholders.

Director Nominations

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, is responsible for reviewing the qualifications of and selecting director candidates for nomination by the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee generally identifies and attracts candidates through its own efforts, and it believes that this method has been effective. However, if in the future the Board believes it is in the Company’s best interest to use the services of consultants or a search firm to assist with the identification and selection process, it will do so.

The Company has a policy regarding the consideration of director candidates recommended by our stockholders (Nominations Policy). The Nominations Policy describes the circumstances pursuant to which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider Board candidates recommended by our stockholders. The Nominations Policy also describes the procedures to be followed by such stockholders in submitting their recommendations. We have made the Nominations Policy available on the Corporate Governance page on our Website.

Generally, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders who beneficially own at least 1% of our outstanding stock at the time of recommendation (a Qualifying Stockholder). Qualifying Stockholders wishing to recommend candidates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may do so by submitting a completed Stockholder Recommendation of Candidate for Director Form (Recommendation Form), which is available for download via hyperlink in the Nominations Policy posted on our Website.

Qualifying Stockholders wishing to recommend a nominee for election as director at the next annual meeting of stockholders must submit their completed Recommendation Form at least 120 days in advance of the one-year anniversary of the date of this proxy statement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will only evaluate a candidate if he or she has indicated a willingness to serve as a director and cooperates with the evaluation process.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that is available on the Corporate Governance page on our Website. The Compensation Committee charter was most recently reviewed and updated in February 2007. All of the Compensation Committee members are “independent directors,” within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

Our Compensation Committee meets several times each year. Management attends those meetings, and the Compensation Committee also meets in executive session without management present.

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the determination, implementation and administration of the compensation programs (including salary, incentive cash payments and bonuses, equity compensation and perquisites) of all our executive officers. Our Compensation Committee is also responsible for overseeing the compensation of our directors and for reviewing and approving all stock-based compensation. The Compensation Committee’s duties and responsibilities are discussed in detail in its charter.

To assist with these responsibilities, our Compensation Committee has hired Ernest & Young LLP (E&Y) as the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee asks

9


E&Y to perform an annual analysis of ManTech’s overall competitiveness (with respect to compensation levels) to prevailing market levels for executive officers, key management employees and outside directors. This work includes assisting the Compensation Committee in selecting the compensation peer group of companies.

Our Compensation Committee has not delegated any of its authority to set the compensation of our executive officers. As permitted by the provisions of the Compensation Committee charter, the Compensation Committee has delegated some authority to our CEO and President to grant stock options to non-executive officers and other employees pursuant to a recently adopted stock option grant policy, as explained on page 18 in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

For setting director compensation, our Compensation Committee receives a report from E&Y on the director compensation practices of our compensation peer group. The Compensation Committee considers that report in setting levels of director compensation. The Compensation Committee generally reviews director compensation on an annual basis.

During 2006, our Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed the following matters with management and E&Y:

ManTech’s overall executive compensation program, including the implementation of that program for the 2006 fiscal year,

Compensation for ManTech’s Board of Directors, including how that compensation should be paid and how it compares with the compensation paid to directors of our peer companies; and

The SEC’s new rules relating to executive and director compensation disclosure, and how those rules apply to fulfilling the Compensation Committee’s responsibilities.

Code of Ethics

In November 2005,2006, we revised ourStandards of Ethics and Business Conduct, which sets forth the policies comprising our code of conduct. Our policies satisfy the SEC’s requirements for a “code of ethics” applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller and persons performing similar functions, as well as Nasdaq’s requirements for a code of conduct applicable to all directors, officers and employees. Among other principles, ourStandards of Ethics and Business Conduct includes guidelines relating to the ethical handling of actual or potential conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, accurate financial reporting, and procedures for promoting compliance with (and reporting violations of) such standards. A copy of ourStandards of Ethics and Business Conduct is available on the Corporate Governance page on our website:www.mantech.com.Website. We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our websiteWebsite as a method of disseminating this disclosure, as permitted by applicable SEC rules.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEEincorporated into ManTech’s Form 10-K.

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The AuditCompensation Committee currently consists of four members, each of whom is an “independent director” as determined by our Board of Directors, based on the current listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and the rules and regulations of the SEC. In addition, the Board of Directors determined that Mr. Barry Campbell, who serves as the chairperson of the Audit Committee, meets the qualifications of an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by SEC rules.

A brief description of the responsibilities of the Audit Committee is set forth above, under the caption “Committees of the Board of Directors—Audit Committee.” The Audit Committee acts pursuant to a charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the charter on a regular basis, and at least annually. If appropriate, the Audit Committee recommends changes to the Board for its approval. The Audit Committee charter was revised, and the Fifth Amended and Restated Charter of the Audit Committee was adopted by the Board, in October 2005.

As a committee, we reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 with both management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent auditors. Management has primary responsibility for the financial statements. Deloitte & Touche LLP is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP those matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No.��61,Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect.

Deloitte & Touche LLP provided us with the written disclosures and the letter required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1,Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect. The Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the auditor’s independence from the Company and its management, and the details of the disclosure that Deloitte & Touche LLP had provided to us pursuant to Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.

Finally, we considered the nature and scope of the audit and non-audit services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP to the Company, and concluded that Deloitte & Touche LLP’s provision of these services to the Company is compatible with Deloitte & Touche LLP’s independence from the Company and its management.

Based upon the reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, for filing with the SEC.

Executive Compensation PhilosophyIntroduction

ManTech operates in a very competitive, dynamic and specialized industry. Our industry presents growth opportunities for companies with the right employees. We believe that in order to compete effectively in this industry, the Companywe must attract and retain highly-qualified and talentedable executives who often possess special skills,talents, credentials and experience. OurBoth inside and outside our executive group, our unique business environment also requires us to obtain the services of employees with the highest security clearances issued in the United States, and the competition for the services of these personsemployees is intense.

Our compensation philosophy seeks to support our key objectivebusiness objectives of creating value for, and promoting the interests of, our stockholders. OurIn order to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders, we believe that our executive compensation programs must provide our executive officers with competitive compensation opportunities, that are based upon both the executive’stheir contribution to the development and financial success of the CompanyManTech and the executive’stheir personal performance. WeSpecifically, we believe it is important that our executive compensation programs:programs should

The Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for setting the compensation packageof our executive officers. Management is primarily responsible for each executive officersetting the compensation of other employees, including our non-executive officers.

Types of Compensation That We Pay Our Executives

Our compensation program is principally comprisedgrounded in three principal types of three elements: (i)compensation: base salary, (ii)annual cash incentive bonuspayments, and (iii) long-term stock-based incentive awards.compensation (primarily stock options). While we do pay some compensation through employee benefits and perquisites, these forms of compensation generally represent an insignificant portion of the total compensation we pay our executives.

Base Salary

We pay our executive officers base salaries that reflect the requirements of the marketplace. A reasonable salary is set individually for each executive officer and is not targeted at a particular percentilepart of a groupwell-rounded compensation program. The salary for individual executives substantially reflects our evaluation of competitors. Among other factors, base salary determinations may reflect experience, base salary in prior year, personal performance, the salary levels in effect for comparable positions within and withoutoutside of our industry. We also consider the industry, andindividual executive’s experience, base salary in the prior year, personal performance, internal base salary comparability considerations.

Incentive bonuses are intended to be a significant portionconsiderations, and (if applicable) the size of total cash compensation for executive officers. The performance targets for incentive bonuses may include factors based on Company performance,the business unit performance, and individual performance.

14


stock-based incentive awards are intended to provide a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership by our executive officers. In making long-term incentive awards to executive officers, the Committee takes into account various individual and Company-specific factors, which may include the level of existing stock ownership by the Company’s executives.

Factors

The principal factors the Committee considered with respect to each executive officer’s compensation package for fiscal year 2005 are summarized below. The Committee may, however, in its discretion apply entirely different factors with respect to executive compensation for future years. During late 2005, the Committee engaged an independent compensation consultant to assist the Committee with carrying out its responsibilities relating to the approval of executive compensation for 2006. The Committee did not rely on information from the consultant for any fiscal year 2005 compensation decisions.

Base Salary.

The 2005 base salary for each executive officer was determined on the basis of some or all of the following factors: base salary in prior year, personal performance, the salary levels in effect for comparable positions within and without the industry, and internal base salary comparability considerations.is responsible. The consideration given to each of these factors differeddiffers from individual to individual, as the Committee deemed appropriate. For

Annual Cash Incentive Payments

Our executive officers earn annual cash incentive payments pursuant to an incentive compensation plan that utilizes a uniform, systematic and measurable process for determining the amount of incentive compensation to be paid to our executive officers. The plan contains performance targets for annual cash incentives, which may include factors based on total ManTech performance, business unit performance, and individual performance. The weight given to these factors vary with respect to our executive officers. The reasons for the different weights are explained below. On the new Summary Compensation Table on page 23, the annual cash incentive payments paid to our named executive officers excluding(NEOs) are reported as follows:

The “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column is used to report the CEO (discussed below)portion of the annual cash incentive that is calculated and paid based on pre-established, non-discretionary goals, pursuant to ManTech’s Management Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee reserves the President, the primary factors were the executive’s salary for the prior year and personal performance.

Mr. Coleman, our President and Chief Operating Officer, received a salary increase in 2005 that reflected his promotion to the position of President and Chief Operating Officer in September 2004.

Incentive Bonus.

Operateddiscretion under the Management Incentive Plan to reduce the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan was established to provide a bonus opportunity to executive officers, payable in cash, based on satisfaction of certain pre-established performance criteria. An executive officer’s performance mayamount that will be evaluated by reference to both business unit measures and Company measures, as described below.paid.

We evaluated all of our executive officers on the basis of four Company-level objective criteria: revenue, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), days sales outstanding (DSO) and contract bookings. Executive officers who are not in charge of a business unit were also measured on corporate cost control.

Each executive having operational responsibility for a business unit was also measured on the basis of criteria applicable solely to the business unit for which he was responsible. The business unit criteria used varied for each such executive, based on the criteria deemed most important to the particular business unit. These business unit measures included the following: business unit revenue, business unit EBIT, business unit DSO, forecast accuracy, succession planning, teamwork contributions, contract bookings, recompetition rates, and employee retention. For executives having operational responsibility for a business unit, the business unit measures were given substantially more weight than the criteria pertaining to Company performance.

The use“Bonus” column is used to report any amounts of annual cash incentive payments that are discretionary payments not made pursuant to pre-established goals.

In the first quarter of each calendar year performance period, specific performance objectives and weighting of the various Company and business unit measures varied among the executive officers, based on areas of responsibility and, where applicable, the performance measures deemed most appropriategoals are established for a particular business unit.

After the end of 2005, the Committee evaluated the Company’sManTech and the various business units’units. The performance against the pre-established criteria. The Committee determined that someobjectives of the executive officers had earnedbusiness units are formulated to support the goals and objectives for ManTech as a whole. The Compensation Committee approves all of the performance objectives used in the non-discretionary part of our annual incentive program. Our executives’ bonuses for the 2005 yearare based on meetingachieving these goals and objectives. The Compensation Committee measures each executive’s achievement of the goals and objectives by reference to pre-established criteria. For those executives who had notperformance factors, which may include any three to five of the following factors:

Revenue—Revenue is the principal means by which we measure our overall growth, which is an important factor at this point in the life of ManTech. Because of profit margin limitations that apply to

 

15


government contracts, increasing our revenue is the principal method by which we can increase our profits. Increases in revenue also reflect our business strategy, which emphasizes an increase in absolute size, which we believe is an important element in remaining competitive in a consolidating industry. Revenue is both a ManTech-wide measure and a business unit measure.

achieved the minimum business unit performance level

Accounts Receivable Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)—DSO is an important measure that drives our cash flow. DSO targets are reflected in the annual ManTech goals because of the importance of cash collection to our business. DSO is both a ManTech-wide measure and a business unit measure.

Bookings—Awards of new contracts and renewal of existing contracts are an important measure of our ability to increase revenues. Bookings targets are reflected in the annual ManTech goals because of their importance for meeting present and future revenue targets. Bookings are adjusted for indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts, which are recognized at a percentage of the potential contract amount. Bookings is both a ManTech-wide measure and a business unit measure.

EBIT Percentage—Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is the principal method by which we measure our profitability and monitor our ability to achieve returns for our stockholders. For 2006, we adjusted the calculation of EBIT, as it was applied to our executive compensation program, to exclude FAS 123R expenses, in order to conform to the calculation for years prior to our implementation of FAS 123R in 2006. EBIT targets are reflected in the annual ManTech goals because of the importance of achieving earnings targets and remaining competitive in a highly-competitive and consolidating industry. EBIT percentage is both a ManTech-wide measure and a business unit measure.

Corporate Cost Controls—Corporate cost controls are an important measure of our ability to control expenses as a percentage of revenue. The careful management of these indirect expenses, including general and administrative expenses, is an important aspect of our ability to achieve our profit goals. Corporate cost controls is a ManTech-wide measure.

Staff Retention Percentage—Staff retention percentage measures the responsible executive’s ability to reduce voluntary turnover in a business unit’s work force in the performance period (normally one year). Because we are in a highly-competitive environment for skilled employees, and because our ability to grow and achieve desired levels of profitability depends on our ability to adequately staff our business opportunities, our ability to retain our employees is a key element to meeting all of our business goals. The staff retention percentage is a business unit measure.

Forecast Accuracy—Forecast accuracy for EBIT and/or revenue is measured on a rolling quarter basis. This quarterly metric is a yes/no variable that answers the question “did the actual EBIT and/or revenue fall within target limits for the quarter.” For example, given a stated target revenue range of +/- 15%, and actual quarterly revenue of 17% above or below the forecast, the executive would receive a “no” rating for that quarter. Therefore, each executive with P&L responsibility could receive a 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% result for a fiscal year based on the four quarters. 100% would mean that each quarter’s EBIT or revenue was within 15% of the forecasted amount. Forecast accuracy is a business unit measure for our business unit presidents and a ManTech-wide measure for our Chief Financial Officer.

Award Rate on Re-competitions—A substantial portion of our government contract business is awarded on a re-competition basis after the initial award. Winning re-competitions is important to sustaining long-term relationships with customers. The ability to win re-competitions is also important because it typically requires fewer resources to win a re-competition than other contracts. This weighted metric is calculated by the size-weighted percentage of re-competitions won by an executive’s business unit and measured against targets set in the beginning of the business year. The award rate on re-competitions is a business unit measure.

We make our incentive payments annually, in the plan, no bonuses were awarded, except for one partial bonusform of cash, when earned. We have chosen to make annual incentive compensation payments in the form of cash rather than stock, because this practice is customary in our industry. In general, cash compensation is a recoverable cost under the terms of our government contracts,

16


while stock compensation is not recoverable. We also prefer to pay our annual incentives in cash rather than stock as a means to limit the shareholder dilution resulting from executive compensation. The annual cash incentive payment as a percentage of an executive’s total potential cash compensation generally increases with the level and responsibilities of the executive.

The Compensation Committee reserves the ability, in appropriate circumstances, to reduce the amount of $50,000 paidthe non-discretionary portion of an executive’s annual cash incentive that would otherwise be payable upon the executive’s achievement of the pre-established goals. In the past, the Compensation Committee has occasionally used this discretion in appropriate circumstances.

Additionally, the Compensation Committee has the authority to grant discretionary bonuses unrelated to the achievement of the non-discretionary objections. In the past, these bonuses have been granted in certain circumstances to reward outstanding performance of individual executives or business units that may not have been adequately factored into the non-discretionary portion of the executive’s annual incentive program.

Beginning with the 2007 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee has determined that discretionary payments will become a regular part of the Company’s annual executive incentive compensation program. The Company’s 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan will continue to utilize pre-established, non-discretionary formula to determine the executive’s target cash incentive. The pre-established formula will be based on the factors of revenue, DSO, bookings and EBIT % at the ManTech-wide level. The formula will also use revenue growth percentage, DSO and bookings at the business unit President because his business unit had substantially exceeded its revenue target. Additionally,level. However, the Compensation Committee evaluatedwill also consider whether any discretionary bonus is warranted. In making that determination, the exceptional overall performance of Mr. Renzi’s business unit, and determinedCompensation Committee may consider any factors described above, as well as any other subjective factors that the Company wouldCompensation Committee deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including recommendations of our CEO and our President.

Stock Options

We provide an additional discretionary bonuslong-term incentives to Mr. Renzi in the amount of $100,000. Including this discretionary payment, the total 2005 bonus compensation paid to Mr. Renzi exceeded his target bonus amount by $3,000.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation.

Long-term incentives are providedour executives through grants of stock options. The grants are designed to align the interests of eachour executive officerofficers with those of theour stockholders and provide each individualsuch officer with a significant incentive to manage the CompanyManTech from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the Company.ManTech. Each option generally becomes exercisable in annual installments over a three-year period, contingent upon the executive officer’sexecutive’s continued employmentrelationship with the Company.ManTech. Accordingly, the option grant will provide a return to the executive officer only if the executive officerhe or she remains employed by the Companywith ManTech during the vesting period, and then only if the market price of the underlying shares appreciates. WeFor each fiscal year, management recommends to the Compensation Committee a pool of shares to be used for the grant of options to employees. The recommendation for the size of the pool is based on the number of shares available under our Management Incentive Plan (including its evergreen provision), the expense that would be incurred from the grants, and the overall performance of ManTech for the prior fiscal year. Management also recommends an allocation of the options among the corporate officers, division presidents and other key employees. Within these pools, management then recommends a number of shares for each individual. The Compensation Committee considers these recommendations when it makes a decision on grants of options to our executive officers that we believe willindividual employees.

Over time, the option grants for executives are intended to be at a level to create a meaningful opportunity for value derived from stock ownership. In making specific grantsThe amount of an annual option grant to ouran executive officers,is largely based on the Company may consider someexecutive officer’s personal performance and the performance of any business unit for which the executive is responsible in the last fiscal year. The principal factors of business unit performance that are considered in this regard are revenue, revenue growth, EBIT and EBIT growth. The amount of the following factors:grant may also depend on the executive officer’s current position with the Company,ManTech, the base salary associated with that position, the size of comparable awards made to individuals in similar positions within the industry, the individual’s potential for increased responsibility and promotion over the option term, the individual’s personal performance in recent periods, and, if the executive officer is a President of a business unit, the performance of the business unit in recent periods.term. The Compensation Committee also may alsoinfrequently consider

17


the number of unvested options held by the executive officer in order to maintain an appropriate level of equity incentive for that individual. However, the Compensation Committee does not adhere to any specific guidelines as to the relative stock or option holdings of the Company’sour executive officers.

During 2005,For prior years and for the 2006 option grants, the annual grants were generally made in the first quarter of the year at a previously scheduled meeting. Generally, grants for new hires were made when the new employee began his or her employment with us, and grants made in connection with the promotion of employees were made as the event occurred. The exercise price of the options was set at the closing price of our stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the day immediately prior to the date of grant.

Effective January 1, 2007, in recognition of the specific legal, tax and accounting issues presented by granting stock options, the Compensation Committee adopted a written policy to be followed in connection with all issuances of stock options by ManTech. We have posted a copy of the policy on the Corporate Governance page on our Website. Under the policy, no option will have a grant date that precedes the date the grant is approved by the appropriate authority under the policy. Each option will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our stock on Nasdaq on the grant date (or, if our stock does not trade on Nasdaq on the grant date, then the closing price of our stock on the previous trading day). Each option will vest in three equal annual installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Each option will expire five years from the date of grant.

Under the policy, we will only have four grant dates each year. The Compensation Committee will approve the annual grant of options to our executive officers and other employees on the date that the Compensation Committee meets to approve the compensation to be paid to our executive officers for that year (with such meeting to occur in any event prior to March 15 for that year). These annual grants will be effective on March 15 of that year. Option grants to newly-hired employees and other employees outside of the annual grant will be made effective on the third business day following the date that we next release our quarterly financial results. For grants approved on dates after we release our third quarter results, such grants will be made effective on March 15 of the next year (on the same day as the annual grant). For example, if our third quarter results are released on November 1, any grant approved after November 1 would be made effective (for both pricing and vesting purposes) on the following March 15.

All grants made to our executive officers are approved by the Compensation Committee. Under the policy, the Compensation Committee has delegated authority to our CEO and our President to determine stock option grants to our non-executive officers and other employees. The CEO and President may not approve an option in excess of 20,000 shares under this delegation of authority. The grants approved by the CEO and President must have the same terms and conditions as described above. All of these grants are subsequently reported to and ratified by the Compensation Committee.

Our shareholder-approved Management Incentive Plan, as restated in 2006, also allows the grant of restricted stock. To date, the Company has not granted any restricted stock; however, the Compensation Committee has considered the grant of restricted stock optionsas a component of our long-term incentive program and may use restricted stock in the future.

Employee Benefits

Our officers participate in the same employee benefit programs as other employees. These programs include tax-qualified retirement plans, health insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, travel accident insurance, and company-paid short term disability. We have two tax-qualified retirement plans: a 401(k) plan and an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). To our 401(k) plan, we make a matching contribution based on employee salary deferrals. The amount of the matching contribution depends on the percentage of their own compensation, up to IRS limits, that each executive or other employee chooses to defer in the Company’s401(k) plan. To our ESOP, we make a contribution that is a uniform percentage of compensation for all eligible employees. Mr. Pedersen is not eligible

18


to participate in the ESOP and does not participate in the 401(k) plan. The combined amount of our 401(k) matching contributions and ESOP contribution for the other named executive officers to purchase an aggregate of 92,000 shares of Common Stock, based(as detailed in the “All Other Compensation” column on the policies described above. The individual grants are shown on the Stock Option Grant table following this report.Summary Compensation Table) ranged from $7,883 to $13,200 for 2006.

CEO Compensation

In 2002, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. George J. Pedersen, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the Retention Agreement). The terms of Mr. Pedersen’s Retention Agreement provide for an annual base salary of at least $1,000,000, to be reviewed annually by us and established for the upcoming year based substantially on the same factors and general compensation policy applicable to the Company’s otherDuring 2006, we maintained a supplemental executive officers, as described above. In 2005, the Company paid Mr. Pedersen an annual base salary of $1,200,000, which was the same annual base salary paid to him in 2004. For 2005, we concluded that maintaining Mr. Pedersen’s salary was appropriate.

For 2005, Mr. Pedersen participated in the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan. The performance criteria establishedretirement plan (SERP) for Mr. Pedersen, were Company revenue, Company EBIT, Company DSO, contract bookings and corporate cost controls.originally established in 1987, to which we made a contribution of $50,000 in 2006. None of our other current executives have participated in a supplemental retirement plan. At his election, Mr. Pedersen and the Company met between 94% and 120%received a complete distribution of each of the goals and averaged 100% of the total goal. We determined thathis benefits under the 2005 Incentive CompensationSERP in 2007. We then terminated the SERP in 2007 and will not make any further contributions. Our officers are also eligible to make salary deferrals into our Executive Supplemental Savings Plan. We do not make a contribution to the Executive Supplemental Savings Plan for executives.

Perquisites

Our executive perquisites generally involve minimal expenses. The perquisites our individual executives receive are primarily based upon historical practice. For the sake of continuity, we believe it is often best to leave certain low-cost perquisites in place when we acquire a business unit. The perquisites provided to our executives other than Mr. Pedersen typically consist of life insurance, automobile expenses, a club membership, occasional use of sporting event tickets, and typical benefits associated with an executive office (such as snacks and beverages). Our total incremental cost for perquisites for each executive officer other than Mr. Pedersen was entitled to a bonus of $600,000 for attaining 100% of the targeted goals. Mr. Pedersen did not receive any bonus for 2004.

Because of the level of Mr. Pedersen’s stock ownership as founder of the Company, asless than $10,000 in prior years, the Committee determined that Mr. Pedersen would not be granted any stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock during 2005.2006.

Under the terms of his Retention Agreement, Mr. Pedersen is entitled to receive contributions to qualified and non-qualified retirement plans, insurance programs and perquisites on the same terms that they have been

These perquisites include items such as the lease of an executive type of vehicle for business and personal use, the portion of an employee’stwo employees’ time spent on non-corporate matters on behalf of Mr. Pedersen (including attending to chauffeur/valet services and limited tax-planning assistance (which, in 2006, primarily related to the structuring of Mr. Pedersen’s SERP distribution), as well as other assistance as required from time to time), club memberships and reimbursement of the costs of certain cell phone and home telephone/fax services. During 2005, Mr. Pedersen voluntarily did not participate in

The compensation setting process is a collaborative process involving our CEO, our President and the Compensation Committee. Management receives a copy of certain market survey information that is prepared for the Compensation Committee has evaluatedby its compensation consultant, Ernst & Young LLP. The market survey covers a peer group of companies that is identified by management and approved by the totalCompensation Committee. For 2006, the peer group for compensation paidpurposes consisted of 12 companies: Anteon, BearingPoint, CACI, ChoicePoint, CIBER, Dynamics Research Corp., Keane, Maximus, MTC Technologies, Perot Systems, SI International and SRA International. Because we compete for executive talent in a broader market than just our specific industry, the compensation peer group is larger than the peer group of companies used for our performance graph that appears in our Annual Report.

After receiving the survey information, management then determines the general recommendations that it would propose to Mr. Pedersenmake to the Compensation Committee and reviews these tentative proposals with Ernst & Young LLP. After considering any input from the compensation consultant, management makes its compensation proposals to the Compensation Committee for 2005. We believe the total compensation paid to Mr. Pedersen for 2005 was fair and reasonable based on his performance as Chairman of each executive officer other than the Board and Chief Executive Officer and is reasonable in light of the overall performance of the Company.

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

CEO. The Compensation Committee alsotakes these proposals into account in making its decisions for these officers. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of the CEO based on the terms of his Retention Agreement (which is described in Note 3 to the Summary Compensation Table on page 23) and the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of the same factors applied to the other executive officers.

Beginning with the 2006 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee has engaged the services of Ernst & Young LLP as a compensation consultant to assist it in the compensation setting process. The scope and nature of the consultant’s engagement is described in this proxy statement under the headingCorporate Governance —Compensation Committee.

Base salary is set individually for each executive officer and is not targeted at a particular percentile of the compensation peer group for any particular executive. Annual cash incentives are intended to be a significant portion of total cash compensation for executive officers. The long-term incentive awards are stock-based, based on our belief that stock ownership by our executive officers strengthens the mutuality of interests between our executive officers and our stockholders. We generally provide more weight towards cash compensation if performance levels are met than stock compensation because stock compensation is not a recoverable cost under the terms of our government contracts. For some of our executives, this may result in the cash compensation being above market levels and stock compensation being below market levels.

We believe that the compensation of our executive officers should be consistent with and reinforce our key business and financial objectives and corporate values over time. Employee compensation may vary based on the business unit for which some executive officers are responsible.

Key Factors in Determining Compensation

An executive officer’s performance may be measured by reference to the performance of a business unit and by reference to the performance of ManTech as a whole. Executives having operational responsibility for a business unit were measured primarily at the business unit level on selected factors important to that business unit, as is reflected in the structure of our annual cash incentive program.

Other Matters in Setting Compensation

We have not had the occasion to and have not established a policy about the adjustment or recovery of awards or payments if the relevant performance measures are restated or adjusted in a way that would reduce the size of the award or payment.

In making long-term incentive awards to executive officers, the Compensation Committee takes into account various individual and Company-specific factors, which may include the level of existing stock ownership by our executives. Because of the level of Mr. Pedersen’s stock ownership as founder of ManTech, the Compensation Committee has determined that Mr. Pedersen would not be granted any stock options to purchase shares of our common stock.

Other Matters Related to Compensation

Tax and Accounting Considerations

We have considered the potential impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 162(m)). in structuring our executive compensation program. Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly heldpublicly-held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for the Chief Executive Officer or the other four (4) most highly compensated officers, except for compensation that is performance-based under a plan that is approved by the stockholders and that meets other technical requirements. The stock options granted under the Company’sour Management Incentive Plan are qualified as performance-based compensation. BonusesAnnual cash incentives paid under the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan were generallynon-discretionary portion of the annual incentive program are structured to be deductible as performance-based compensation.compensation under the Management Incentive Plan. The portion of Mr. Pedersen’s salary that exceededexceeds the $1 million limit is not deductible and about 45%a portion of Mr. Pedersen’s bonus for 2005, as well as about 5% of Mr. Renzi’s bonus for 2005, weresome bonuses in the past have not been deductible. The total amount of the foregone tax deductions was immaterial.We intendOur policy is to pay our executives in the manner that we think is in the best interests of the Company,ManTech, while taking into account the implications of Section 162(m), as

20


appropriate. This may result in the payment of salary or bonuses that are not tax deductible. To date, the missed tax deductions have been immaterial. It is possible that our newly-adopted policy (applicable for 2007 and the foreseeable future) of having a larger portion of bonuses as discretionary may result in larger non-deductible payments in the future.

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R) for the 2006 fiscal year. FAS 123R is an accounting standard that requires the fair value of all stock option awards issued to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related vesting period. For stock options granted in 2006, we reduced the life of the options from ten years (used for prior grants) to five years, partially to reduce the expense associated with the grant of stock options. We consider the accounting effects of FAS 123R in establishing the pool for stock option grants each year.

We have considered the potential impact of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 409A) in the implementation of our executive compensation program. Section 409A imposes a higher tax rate on individuals who receive payment of non-qualified deferred compensation if that compensation is paid from a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement that does not comply with the requirements of Section 409A. To comply with Section 409A, we amended the Executive Supplemental Savings Plan to impose additional restrictions on distributions to participants, and Mr. Pedersen took a complete distribution from his SERP (which, following the distribution, was terminated).

No Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have not adopted any stock ownership requirements or guidelines. We have not adopted any policies about hedging the economic risk of Company stock. We believe that no executives have engaged in hedging or similar activities with the Company stock.

Change in Control Benefits

The Committee supportsCompany does not have any benefits that are payable only in the proposed amendmentevent of a change in control.

2006 Compensation Decisions

For the 2006 fiscal year, the compensation of our executive officers was set and administered consistent with the philosophy and polices described above. For setting the salaries of the NEOs for 2006 (excluding the CEO), the primary factors considered were the NEO’s salary for the prior year and personal performance. The salaries for the NEOs are shown on the Summary Compensation Table on page 23. Because this 2007 proxy statement is the first proxy statement issued under new SEC guidance, the Summary Compensation Table does not include information about any prior years. The prior compensation information is available in the Company’s 2006 proxy statement.

In 2006, the annual incentive compensation payments for each of Mr. Pedersen (our Chairman and CEO), Mr. Coleman (our President and COO), and Mr. Phillips (our Executive Vice President and CFO), were based completely on ManTech-wide performance measures. The performance measures for each of these officers are shown in Notes 4, 5 and 6 following the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page 24. Mr. Pedersen and Mr. Coleman have the same performance measures because they do not have any specific business unit responsibilities. Mr. Phillips shares these performance measures and has an additional goal based on forecast accuracy to reflect his financial responsibilities. By using only ManTech-wide performance measures, the incentives for these executive officers are balanced for all aspects of ManTech’s business. Because each of these executive officers interacts with all of ManTech’s business units, the performance measures are intended to encourage them to attend to the Management Incentive Plan, described in Proposal 2 in this proxy statement; if such amendment had been in effect during 2005, allentire business of ManTech and make decisions for the benefit of the bonuses paid for 2005 would have been deductible.entire company. The weighting of the performance measures differs slightly among these executive officers to reflect

activities. The Compensation Committee exercised its negative discretion to reduce the 2006 incentive compensation payments by about 14 percent for these executive officers to reflect ManTech’s loss of a major contract re-competition in its Defense Systems Group during 2006.

In 2006, the annual incentive compensation payment for Mr. Renzi (President of our Defense Systems Group) was based on a combination of ManTech-wide performance measures and business unit performance measures for the Defense Systems Group (DSG). The performance measures for Mr. Renzi are shown in Note 7 following the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page 24. The business unit performance was the primary factor in determining the amount of Mr. Renzi’s annual incentive compensation. The weighting of the BoardDSG business unit performance goals reflects the importance to the DSG business unit of Directorsits EBIT percentage, because of its size as our largest business unit. The weight for bookings is also an important factor, given the potential for future revenue generation. The Compensation Committee exercised its negative discretion to reduce Mr. Renzi’s 2006 incentive compensation payment by about 18 percent due to the loss of one large contract re-competition in 2006.

Walter R. Fatzinger, Jr.,Chairman

Barry G. Campbell

David E. JeremiahIn 2006, the annual incentive compensation payment for Mr. Dorland (President of our Security and Mission Assurance Group) was based on a combination of ManTech-wide performance measures and business unit performance measures for the Security and Mission Assurance Group (SMA). The performance measures for Mr. Dorland are shown in Note 8 following the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page 24. The business unit performance was the primary factor in determining the amount of Mr. Dorland’s annual incentive compensation. The weighting of the SMA business unit performance goals reflects the importance to the SMA business unit of its revenue and EBIT percentage, since the demand for the business supported by this unit produces an above average EBIT percentage. The goals also include a retention component, which reflects the competitive market for qualified employees faced by certain parts of the SMA business unit.

All amounts in this row relate to the ManTech International Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (F/B/O George J. Pedersen) (the “SERP”). The operation of the SERP is subject to the rules of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The SERP was established in 1987 and previously provided for contributions related to a terminated defined benefit plan. The SERP has also had a defined contribution element. For 2006, the defined contribution was $50,000, which is the same amount as contributed for several prior years. The assets of the SERP were held in two trusts. The larger of the trusts has been principally invested in ManTech common stock since 1993, which had a return of 32% for 2006. The other trust was invested in various other investments with annualized returns as follows: JP Morgan Prime Money Market—4.93%, JP Morgan Short Term Bond Fund—5.57%; JP Morgan Intrepid America Fund—16.06%; John Hancock Classic Value Fund—16.54%; JP Morgan Intrepid Growth Fund—9.38%; Thornburg Value Fund—20.04%; Ishares Russell 2000 Value Index Fund—22.01%; Ishares Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund—13.13%; Ishares MSCI Japan Index Fund—5.49%; Boston company International Core Equity Fund—29.57%; TRowe Price New Asia Fund—36.12%; American Century Real Estate Fund—34.69%; Highbridge Neutral Fund Select—7.02%, JP Morgan Intrepid Mid Cap Fund—13.88%; JPM Multi Strategy Fund—20.00%. Under the terms of the SERP, Mr. Pedersen elected to take a complete distribution of the SERP in early 2007. Following the distribution of all amounts due to Mr. Pedersen, ManTech terminated the SERP in 2007.

(2)

All amounts in this row relate to the ManTech Executive Supplemental Savings Plan (the “ESSP”). The ESSP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that allows certain executives and other highly compensated employees to make voluntary deferrals of compensation. The operation of the ESSP is subject to the rules of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. An executive may make deferrals of base salary and bonuses. A participant in the ESSP may select from various mutual funds and similar investments for the deferrals. ManTech does not make any matching or other contributions based on an executive’s deferral. An executive is fully vested in their deferrals and any deemed earnings. When a deferral is made, a participant can elect a future time to receive a distribution of that deferral, adjusted for any earnings or losses. Under limited circumstances, the participant may elect to defer that distribution to a future date. Distributions can also be made on an unforeseeable emergency that constitutes a substantial hardship to the participant. Otherwise, distributions are made at termination of employment for any reason, including death or disability. Any distribution at termination to an executive officer would be delayed for six months except for a distribution at death.

27


Amounts in the ESSP may be invested in the equivalent of 19 different mutual funds that are held within life insurance policies held in a trust for the ESSP. During 2006, the equivalent funds in which executives had investments and their 2006 annualized earnings were: Federated GVIT High Income Bond—Class I 10.16%; Gartmore GVIT Investor Destination Moderate—Class 2 10.91%; T. Rowe Price Equity Income—Class II 18.18%; AIM V.I. Capital Development—Series I Shares 16.06%; AIM V.I. International Growth—Series I Shares 27.72%; and Van Kampen UIF U.S. Real Estate—Class I 37.50%.

Other Potential Post-Termination Payments

Retirement or other Termination by the Executive

If he had retired or terminated his employment in 2006, Mr. Pedersen would have been entitled to the payment of the balance in his SERP, which was $23,167,388 on December 31, 2006. In January 2007, Mr. Pedersen received a complete distribution of his interest in the SERP. Following the distribution, ManTech terminated the SERP and no further benefit is payable from the SERP upon retirement or otherwise.

On his retirement or other termination of employment, Mr. Dorland would be entitled to the payment of the balance in his ESSP account which was $37,622 on December 31, 2006.

None of our other executives would receive any payment from ManTech on a retirement or other termination by the executive.

Termination without Cause

Under his Retention Agreement, if Mr. Pedersen is terminated without cause, he is entitled to a lump sum amount equal to his base salary (which was $1,300,000 as of December 31, 2006). For this purpose, cause means (i) a material violation by Mr. Pedersen of the Retention Agreement, which he fails to cure to ManTech’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after ManTech delivers written notice specifically identifying such violation; (ii) Mr. Pedersen’s willful failure to act in a manner consistent with his responsibilities or with the best interests of ManTech, which he fails to cure to ManTech’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after ManTech delivers written demand for satisfactory performance that specifically identifies the manner in which ManTech believes that he has not satisfactorily performed his duties; or (iii) Mr. Pedersen’s conviction of a felony (other than an offense related to the operation of an automobile that results only in a fine, license suspension or other non-custodial penalty) or other serious crime involving moral turpitude.

If he had been terminated in 2006, Mr. Pedersen would have received the SERP payment described above.

If he had been terminated in 2006, Mr. Dorland would have received the amount from the ESSP described above.

None of our other executives are entitled to any payments on a termination without cause.

Death or Disability

On death or disability of an executive, all unvested stock options vest and may be exercised. If unvested options had been vested and exercised as of December 29, 2006 (based on the closing price of ManTech stock on the last trading day of 2006), the value realized on exercise for these options would have been: Mr. Phillips $444,364, Mr. Coleman $3,222,452, Mr. Renzi $847,040 and Mr. Dorland $503,316.

In addition, on the death of an executive, the following amounts would have been payable from life insurance policies for which ManTech paid the premiums: Mr. Pedersen $500,000; Mr. Phillips $990,000, Mr. Coleman $1,250,000, Mr. Renzi $500,000, and Mr. Dorland $825,000.

28


On a termination due to permanent disability of an executive, there would be no amounts payable from ManTech but eligible executives would be entitled to payments from a disability insurance policy. Long-term disability pays 60% of salary with a maximum monthly benefit of $15,000. The benefit is generally payable until age 67.

On death or disability, Mr. Dorland (or his beneficiary) would receive the amount from the ESSP described above. For death or disability in 2006, Mr. Pedersen (or his beneficiary) would have received the SERP payments described above.

Change in Control

None of our executives are entitled to any additional payments due to a change in control of ManTech.

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVE THE ADOPTION OF THE 2006 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

Introduction

The current Management Incentive Plan (the Plan) was approved by Company’s stockholders prior to the Company’s initial public offering in 2002. Under provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), we are required to obtain stockholder approvalAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the Plan at the 2006 Annual Meeting in order to preserve tax deductions for “performance-based compensation” paid under the Plan. We believe it is in the best interests of the Company to obtain these tax deductions. In addition to changes related to performance-based compensation, the Plan has been amended and restated as the 2006 Management Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) to reflect other changes in laws, accounting rules, and other developments.

The Board approved the 2006 Plan in March 2006, and now requests that the Company’s stockholders approve it. If our stockholders approve the 2006 Plan, it will become effective on June 6, 2006.

Summary of the 2006 Plan

Features of the 2006 Plan are summarized below. The full text of the 2006 Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement asAppendix A.

Administration of the Plan; Eligibility

The 2006 Plan will be administered by our CompensationAudit Committee although the Committee may delegate its authority under the plan. The Compensation Committee will have broad authority to administer and interpret the plan, but such administration and interpretations must be consistent with any express terms of the plan. The Committee may:

Set the exercise price and vesting schedule of options, and establish when an option will expire. Also the Committee may decide the number of shares of our Class A common stock subject to any option, the restrictions on transferability of an option and other terms and conditions. The Committee may determine whether an option is an incentive stock option or a nonstatutory stock option.

Set the terms of any incentive bonus, including the minimum, target and maximum amounts payable to a participant as an incentive bonus, and establish the performance criteria and level of achievement required for payment of an incentive bonus. The Committee also would determine the measurement period for the performance, the timing of any payment earned, and the dollar amount or number of shares payable for any incentive bonus.

Set the terms of any incentive stock award, including the number of shares and the conditions for the award. The conditions may include restrictions on grant or on vesting. The conditions may also include those based on performance or based on continuation of employment.

Any person who is a director, an employee or a prospective employee of ours or any of our subsidiaries is eligible to be selected as a recipient of an award under the plan. Currently, approximately 6,000 employees are anticipated to be eligible for awards under the 2006 Plan.

Stock Reserved

The 2006 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 4,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock. This is an increase of 1,500,000 shares, in addition to the shares authorized for the 2002 Plan. As was the case under the 2002 Plan, in 2007 and each year thereafter, an additional number of shares will be authorized under the 2006 Plan equal to one and one-half percent of the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding on December 31st of that year, up to a maximum of 1,500,000 shares per year.

24


Class B common stock may not be issued under the 2006 Plan. No more than 4,500,000 shares may be issued as incentive stock options under the 2006 Plan. No more than 1,000,000 shares, including options, can be awarded to one eligible person during any calendar year.

Shares subject to an award under the 2006 Plan that are forfeited, or that otherwise terminate unexercised without issuance, will again be available for award. Additionally, shares exchanged as payment of an option exercise or retained to satisfy withholding taxes will be available for new awards. Reload options are expressly prohibited by the 2006 Plan. Shares covered by a stock appreciation right (SAR) will be counted as issued only upon exercise.

In the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares or similar transaction or change in corporate structure affecting the shares, such adjustments may be made to the 2006 Plan and to the awards as the Committee deems appropriate.

Types of Incentive Awards That May Be Granted

The following types of awards may be granted under the 2006 Plan:

Incentive stock options, which are intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code.

Non-qualified stock options, which are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options.

Incentive bonuses, which represent the opportunity to receive an amount paid in cash or common stock, based on satisfaction of performance criteria established for a specific performance period by the Compensation Committee.

Incentive stock, which is an award of shares of common stock with the grant, retention, and/or vesting conditioned upon satisfaction of criteria determined by the Compensation Committee.

A stock appreciation right (SAR), which entitles the participant to receive an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value on the date of exercise of stock covered by the surrendered stock appreciation right over (ii) the price of the stock on the date the stock appreciation right was granted. The award can be paid in stock or cash, or both.

Performance Criteria

The 2006 Plan allows the use of a broad range of performance criteria, either individually or in any combination. The criteria can be applied to the Company as a whole or to one or more of the Company’s business units or subsidiaries. The criteria can be measured either annually or over a period of years. Measurement can be done on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group. The permissible performance criteria are:

•      earnings per share (including before interest, taxes and/or amortization and/or depreciation)

•      business unit forecast accuracy (of any performance criteria)

•      operating income or net operating income

•      return on equity

•      total stockholder return

•      return on capital

•      return on assets or net assets

•      revenue

•      income or net income

•      cash flow

•      operating profit or net operating profit

•      operating margin or profit margin

•      return on operating revenue

•      market share

•      contract win, renewal or extension

•      days sales outstanding or accounts receivable

25


•      contract bookings

•      cost control

•      inter-company work authorizations

•      cash management

•      debt reduction

•      customer satisfaction

•      delivery schedule

•      cycle-time improvement

•      productivity

•      quality

•      workforce diversity

•      comparisons to budget items

•      specified projects or processes

•      staff hiring

•      employee turnover

•      stock price

•      completion of mergers or acquisitions

In applying these performance criteria, the Committee may make adjustments for events that occur during a performance period, such as asset write-downs, litigation, changes in tax law or accounting principles, discontinued operations or reorganizations, and extraordinary non-recurring items.

Incentive Bonuses

Incentive bonuses are subject to the achievement of pre-established performance goals and can be administered to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. Performance goals use the objective and quantifiable performance criteria as listed above.

The aggregate maximum cash amount payable as an incentive bonus to any participant in any year cannot exceed $2 million. The Committee must make incentive bonus awards prior to the earlier of the 90th day of the period for which the award relates or the completion of 25% of that period.

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

The Committee may also grant stock options to eligible participants and establish the terms and conditions for exercising an option. The exercise price of an option will be at least 100% of the fair market value of Company stock on the date that the option is granted. The options may be either incentive stock options or nonstatutory options. The Committee will set the term of each option; however, no option will be exercisable after eight years from the date the option is granted. Participants can exercise any option and can make payment of the stock option price by delivering cash or other approved payment. Options may not be repriced without shareholder approval. SARs may be granted subject to terms and conditions set by the Committee.

Incentive Stock

Incentive stock awards can be structured in many ways, including as restricted stock. The incentive stock award can set up conditions that must be met before a share is issued. When issued, a share under an incentive stock award may be subject to further performance or time vesting requirements. The performance criteria can be the same as for an incentive bonus. Unless the Committee changes a particular award, an incentive stock award will vest in equal annual portions over a three-year period. An eligible person may be required to pay for part of the value of a share under an incentive stock award.

Transferability of Awards; Modification of Awards

When granting incentive awards, the Committee may allow the awards to become fully exercisable or vested upon certain corporate events, such as a merger or other change in control, as stated in the 2006 Plan.

26


Participants cannot sell, transfer or pledge their interest in awards. Participants cannot sell, transfer or pledge shares of incentive stock until it becomes unrestricted. Options and SARs may be transferable by a participant but only according to the terms for the award. The Committee may modify awards consistent with the terms of the 2006 Plan.

Term; Modification of Plan

If approved by the Company’s stockholders, the 2006 Plan will become effective June 6, 2006 and will terminate at the close of business on June 5, 2016, unless the Board terminates it prior to that date.

The Board can amend or terminate the 2006 Plan, except that only stockholders can approve amendments that would (i) materially increase the number of shares reserved and available for issuance; (ii) materially change or affect which employees are eligible to participate; or (iii) materially change the benefits that eligible employees may receive. However, the Board can amend the 2006 Plan as necessary and without stockholder approval to ensure that it continues to comply with the Code and SEC rules.

New Plan Benefits

Because benefits under the 2006 Plan will depend on the Committee’s actions and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at various future dates, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received by directors, executive officers and other employees if the 2006 Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders. However, current benefits granted to executive officers and all other employees would not have been increased if they had been made under the 2006 Plan. The Summary Compensation Table and Stock Options Granted in 2005 table above show the awards that would have been made in 2005 if the 2006 Plan were in effect at that time.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

This is a summary of the principal federal income tax consequences of the 2006 Plan. State, local and foreign income taxes also may be applicable.

An employee will not incur federal income tax liabilities when granted a nonstatutory stock option, an incentive stock option, a stock appreciation right or incentive stock subject to conditions or restrictions.

Upon exercise of a nonstatutory option or a stock appreciation right, the employee, in most circumstances, will be treated as having received ordinary income equal to the difference between the fair market value of Company stock on the date of the exercise and the option price. This income is subject to income tax withholding by the Company. No income is received for tax purposes when an incentive stock option is exercised, unless an employee is subject to the alternative minimum tax or sells the stock before the minimum holding period ends.

Upon lapse of restrictions on incentive stock, the employee will be treated as having received ordinary income equal to the fair market value of Company stock on that date. The employee will also be treated as having received ordinary income equal to the fair market value of any Company stock when it is received under an incentive stock grant upon achieving performance goals. This income is subject to income tax withholding by the Company.

On payment under an incentive bonus, the employee will have ordinary income for the amount paid. This income is subject to tax withholding by the Company.

The Company usually will be entitled to a business expense deduction at the time and in the amount that the recipient of an incentive award recognizes ordinary income. As stated above, this usually occurs upon exercise of nonstatutory options and stock appreciation rights, the lapse of restrictions on incentive stock, and payment of

27


incentive bonuses. No deduction is allowed in connection with an incentive stock option unless the employee disposes of Company stock received upon exercise in violation of the holding period requirements. Also there can be circumstances when the deduction is not allowed for certain transfers of company stock or payments to an employee upon the exercise of an incentive award that has been accelerated as a result of a change of control.

Section 162(m) of the Code disallows a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for the Chief Executive Officer or the other four (4) most highly compensated officers, except for compensation that is performance-based under a plan that is approved by the stockholders. Under the 2006 Plan, stock options would be treated as performance-based compensation. The terms of the 2006 Plan allow incentive bonuses, incentive stock and stock appreciation rights to be treated as performance-based compensation. If the 2006 Plan is approved by stockholders, the Company’s business expense deduction for all performance-based compensation paid under the 2006 Plan would not be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code.

The chairman of the Audit Committee has been authorized and designated by the Audit Committee to pre-approve any services arising during the year that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee at the time of the initialannual audit services engagement.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons

Prior to February 2007, we had informal procedures pursuant to which the Audit Committee was responsible for monitoring and reviewing related party transactions on an ongoing basis, consistent with Nasdaq listing standards.

In February 2007, the Board adopted a policy and procedures for the review, approval and monitoring of all transactions involving the Company and “Related Parties” (the Policy). Under our Policy, a Related Party is any director, executive officer, director nominee, 5% or greater stockholder, or an immediate family member of any of these people. With certain exceptions that are detailed in our Policy, a Related Party Transaction is any arrangement, transaction or relationship in which the Company is a participant and any Related Party has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity).

Under our Policy, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving all Related Party Transactions. If a director is involved in the proposed transaction, he or she will not participate in discussions and decisions about the proposed transaction. In determining whether to approve a proposed Related Party Transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors:

the material facts and circumstances of the transaction (such as the nature of the Related Party’s interest, the value of the proposed transaction, the benefit to the Company and whether the transaction is on terms comparable to an arms-length transaction),

any potential impact on a director’s independence,

public disclosure issues, and

any anticipated perception issues related to the transaction.

If the Audit Committee approves a Related Party Transaction, and the transaction is anticipated to be continuing, the Audit Committee may establish guidelines for senior management to follow in those continuing dealings with the Related Party. In these cases, the Audit Committee is responsible for periodically (and at least annually) reviewing and assessing the ongoing relationships to ensure they are in compliance with the Audit Committee’s guidelines and that the Related Party Transaction remains appropriate.

The Policy covers even those transactions that fall below the minimum threshold for disclosure in the proxy statement under the relevant SEC rules. Where a Related Party Transaction is required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings, the Policy requires that the transaction be disclosed in accordance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Related Party Transactions

Sale of Our MSM Subsidiary

On February 23, 2007, we sold our MSM subsidiary to MSM Security Services Holdings, LLC (MSM Holdings) for $3 million in cash. MSM Holdings is an entity that is solely owned by George J. Pedersen, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

In early 2005, we reached a final corporate determination to exit the personnel security investigation services business and discontinue operations at our MSM subsidiary. We then engaged in a lengthy and detailed process (which included the retention of an investment banker to lead the process) to market and sell the MSM business. In January 2007, Mr. Pedersen presented a formal written offer to the Board to purchase our MSM subsidiary. Mr. Pedersen’s offer exceeded the value of any other definitive offers extended to the Company.

34


After Mr. Pedersen presented the formal offer to the Company to purchase MSM, the Board formed a special committee comprised solely of independent directors to review, evaluate and determine the advisability of the transaction. The special committee retained the services of independent legal counsel and an independent financial advisor to assist the special committee with its duties. The special committee received a fairness opinion from the independent financial advisor. The special committee of the Board considered the advice and opinions received from its advisors and unanimously recommended approval of the transaction to the independent members of the Board of Directors. The transaction was then approved by the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

GSE Systems, Inc.

Pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated October 21,In 2003, we sold all of our equity interest in GSE Systems, Inc. (GSE), and a $650,000 note receivable from GSE, to GP Strategies Corporation in exchange for a note with a principal amount of $5,250,955. Accordingly, since October 21,Since 2003, we have not owned any shares of GSE common stock. However, in connection with the issuance of certain letters of credit in support of payment and performance bonds (which have since expired), the Company still holds 100,000 warrants to purchase GSE common stock at the market price of GSE common stock on the close of business on July 8, 2003, and receive a 7% annual fee, payable on a quarterly basis, calculated on the total amount of the then-existing value of the letters of credit.stock.

George J. Pedersen, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned shares and options representing approximately 4%less than 5% of GSE as of December 31, 2005.2006. Mr. Pedersen serves on GSE’s board of directors and is a member of its compensation committee.

Legal Services

Mr. Stephen Porter, one of our directors, is a partnersenior counsel in the law firm of Arnold & Porter LLP, in Washington, D.C. In the past, Arnold & Porter LLP has performed legal services for us from time to timetime. In 2006, the Company and is expected to do so inMr. Porter agreed that the future.

In 2006, the Company paid the law firm of that firm’s gross revenues in 2005.

Ownership of Subsidiary Stock

From time to time, we have allowed certain of our officers, or officers of our subsidiaries, to purchase minority interests of common stock in our subsidiaries. These purchases have been effected pursuant to stock purchase and restriction agreements that generally restrict the transferability of the shares by granting our subsidiary a right of first refusal with respect to any proposed sale of the common stock by the stockholder and a right to call the stockArnold & Porter approximately $60,000 for legal services rendered in the eventcourse of completing the death or permanent disability of the stockholder or our termination of the stockholder’s employment.firm’s work on prior engagements.

Appendix A

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN OF

MANTECH INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

2006 RESTATEMENT

SECTION I—PURPOSE OF PLAN

The purpose of this Management Incentive Plan (this “Plan”) of ManTech International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ManTech”), is to enable ManTech and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Company”) to attract, retain and motivate its directors, officers and other senior management and technical personnel and to further align the interests of such persons with those of the stockholders of ManTech by providing for or increasing the proprietary interest of such persons in ManTech.

SECTION II—ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

2.1Composition of Committee.    This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of ManTech’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), as appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exercise any authority of the Committee under this Plan in lieu of the Committee’s exercise thereof and in such instances references herein to the Committee shall refer to the Board. Unless otherwise provided by the Board:

(a) with respect to any Award that the Committee intends to be exempted by Rule 16b-3(d)(1) or (e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Committee shall consist of the Board of Directors or of two or more directors each of whom is a “non-employee director” (as such term is defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time),

(b) with respect to any Award that the Committee intends to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Committee shall consist of two or more directors, each of whom is an “outside director” (as such term is defined under Code Section 162(m)), and

(c) with respect to any other Award, the Committee may appoint one or more separate committees (any such committee, a “Subcommittee”) composed of one or more directors of ManTech (who may but need not be members of the Committee) or to the extent permitted under Delaware law, officers of ManTech, and may delegate to any such Subcommittee(s) the authority to grant Awards under this Plan to Eligible Persons, to determine all terms of such Awards, and/or to administer this Plan or any aspect of it. Any action by any such Subcommittee within the scope of such delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been taken by the Committee.

The Committee may designate the Secretary of ManTech or other Company employees to assist the Committee in the administration of this Plan, and may grant authority to such persons to execute agreements or other documents evidencing Awards made under this Plan or other documents entered into under this Plan on behalf of the Committee or ManTech, to make determinations under this Plan or Awards and to interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards. Any such action by any such person(s) within the scope of such delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been taken or made by the Committee.

2.2Powers of the Committee.    Subject to the express provisions and limitations set forth in this Plan, the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or desirable, in its sole discretion, in connection with the administration of this Plan, including, without limitation, the following:

(a) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define terms not otherwise defined herein; provided that, unless the Committee shall specify otherwise, for purposes of this

A-1


Plan (i) the term “fair market value” shall mean, as of any date, the closing price for a Share (as defined in Section 3.1) reported on Nasdaq Stock Market (or such other stock exchange or quotation system on which Shares are then listed or quoted) for the business day immediately preceding such date; and (ii) the term “Company” shall mean ManTech and its subsidiaries and affiliates, unless the context otherwise requires;

(b) to determine which persons are Eligible Persons (as defined in Section 4), to which of such Eligible Persons, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing of any such Awards;

(c) to grant Awards to Eligible Persons and determine the terms and conditions thereof, including the number of Shares subject to Awards and the exercise or purchase price of such Shares and the circumstances under which Awards become exercisable or vested or are forfeited or expire, which terms may but need not be conditioned upon the passage of time, continued service as a director or an employee, the satisfaction of performance criteria, the occurrence of certain events (including events which the Board or the Committee determine constitute a change of control), or other factors;

(d) to establish, verify the extent of satisfaction of, adjust, reduce or waive any performance goals or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, exercisability, vesting and/or ability to retain any Award;

(e) to prescribe and amend the terms of the agreements or other documents evidencing Awards made under this Plan (which need not be identical), provided that the power to amend does not extend to any amendment which would cause an award to fail to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A;

(f) to determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to Section 11 and Section 12;

(g) to interpret and construe this Plan, any rules and regulations under this Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, and to make exceptions to any such provisions in good faith and for the benefit of the Company; and

(h) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

2.3Determinations of the Committee.    All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee regarding this Plan shall be final and binding on all Eligible Persons and Participants. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any director, officer or employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select.

SECTION III—STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

3.1Aggregate Limits.    The number of shares of ManTech’s Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value (“Shares”) initially reserved for issuance was three million (3,000,000) shares and that reservation is increased by one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) in the 2006 restatement of Plan so that the base number of shares reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan shall not exceed four million five hundred (4,500,000) shares. In addition, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan has been and will continue to be automatically increased on the first trading day of January each calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with calendar year 2003, by an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the total number of shares outstanding (including all outstanding classes of common stock) on the last trading day in December of the immediately preceding calendar year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares. The aggregate number of Shares available for issuance under this Plan and the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options or other Awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.2. The Shares issued pursuant to this Plan may be Shares that previously were issued by ManTech, including Shares purchased in the open market, or authorized but unissued Shares.

3.2Tax Code Limits.    The aggregate number of Shares issuable under all Awards granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Eligible Person shall not exceed 1,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the

A-2


contrary in this Plan, the foregoing limitations shall be subject to adjustment under Section 11 and Section 12, but only to the extent that such adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). The foregoing limitations shall not apply to the extent that they are no longer required in order for compensation in connection with grants under this Plan to be treated as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). All Shares available for issuance under this Plan may be subject to Options which intend to qualify as Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) pursuant to Code Section 422. However, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11 and Section 12, the aggregate number of ISOs available for issuance shall not exceed 4,500,000.

3.3Issuance of Shares.    For purposes of Section 3.1, the aggregate number of Shares issued under this Plan at any time shall equal only the number of Shares actually issued upon exercise or settlement of an Award and shall not include Shares subject to Awards that have been canceled, expired or forfeited or Shares subject to Awards that have been delivered (either actually or constructively by attestation) to or retained by the Company in payment or satisfaction of the purchase price, exercise price or tax withholding obligation of an Award.

SECTION IV—PERSONS ELIGIBLE UNDER PLAN

4.1Eligible Employees and Participants.    Any person who is a director, an employee or a prospective employee of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be eligible to be considered for the grant of Awards hereunder (an “Eligible Person”). Unless provided otherwise by the Committee, the term “employee” shall mean an “employee” as such term is defined in General Instruction A to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. A “Participant” is any current or former Eligible Person to whom an Award has been made and any person (including any estate) to whom an Award has been assigned or transferred pursuant to Section 10.1.

4.2Less Than Full Time Employment.    The Committee shall determine the effect, if any, on the vesting, exercisability, retention and/or forfeiture of an Award as a result of any decreased level of employment during any period in which a Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full time basis, and the Committee may take into consideration any accounting consequences to the Company in making any such adjustment.

4.3Termination of Employment.    For purposes of this Plan, “termination of employment” shall mean ceasing to serve as a full time employee or as a director or director emeritus of the Company, except that an approved leave of absence or approved employment on a less than full time basis may constitute employment unless the Committee provides otherwise. The Committee shall determine whether any corporate transaction, such as a sale or spin-off of a division, business unit, joint venture or subsidiary that employs a Participant, shall be deemed to result in a termination of employment with the Company for purposes of any affected Participant’s Awards.

SECTION V—PLAN AWARDS

5.1Award Types.    The Committee, on behalf of the Company, is authorized under this Plan to enter into certain types of arrangements with Eligible Persons and to confer certain benefits on them. The following arrangements or benefits are authorized under this Plan if their terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan: Options, Incentive Bonuses, Incentive Stock, and Stock Appreciation Rights. Such arrangements and benefits are sometimes referred to herein as “Awards.” The authorized types of arrangements and benefits for which Awards may be granted are defined as follows:

(a) Options: An Option is a right granted under Section 6 to purchase a number of Shares at such exercise price, at such times, and on such other terms and conditions as are specified in the agreement or terms and conditions or other document evidencing the Award (the “Option Document”). Options intended to qualify as ISOs pursuant to Code Section 422 and Options not intended to qualify as ISOs (“Nonqualified Options”) may be granted under Section 6.

A-3


(b) Incentive Bonus: An Incentive Bonus is a bonus opportunity awarded under Section 7 pursuant to which a Participant may become entitled to receive an amount, payable in cash or Shares, based on satisfaction of such performance criteria as are specified in the agreement or other document evidencing the Award (the “Incentive Bonus Document”).

(c) Incentive Stock: Incentive Stock is an award or issuance of Shares made under Section 8, the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods of time to such conditions (which may include continued service as a director or an employee or performance conditions) and terms as are expressed in the agreement or other document evidencing the Award (the “Incentive Stock Document”).

(d) Stock Appreciation Rights: A Stock Appreciation Right is a right granted under Section 9 that is exercisable at such times and on such other terms and conditions as are specified in the agreement or terms and conditions or other document evidencing the Award (the “Stock Appreciation Rights Document”).

5.2Grants of Awards.    An Award may consist of one such arrangement or benefit described in Section 5.1 or two or more such arrangements or benefits in tandem or in the alternative. Awards may include a tandem stock or cash right feature pursuant to Section 10.5 and stock units pursuant to Section 10.6.

SECTION VI—OPTIONS

The Committee may grant an Option or provide for the grant of an Option, either from time to time in the discretion of the Committee or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, the achievement of performance goals, or the satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the recipient of the Award or within the control of others.

6.1Option Document.    Each Option Document shall contain provisions regarding (a) the number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Option, (b) the purchase price of the Shares and the means of payment for the Shares, (c) the term of the Option, (d) such terms and conditions on the vesting and/or exercisability of an Option as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, (e) restrictions on the transfer of the Option and forfeiture provisions and (f) such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Committee. Option Documents evidencing ISOs shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to qualify, to the extent determined desirable by the Committee, with the applicable provisions of Code Section 422.

6.2Option Price.    The purchase price per share of the Shares subject to each Option granted under this Plan shall be determined by the Committee and shall equal or exceed 100% of the fair market value on the date the Option is granted (110% of the fair market value on the date the Option is granted in the case of an ISO granted to an Eligible Person who at the time of grant owns more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the ManTech within the meaning of Code Section 422). Without prior shareholder approval, the Committee is expressly prohibited from repricing an Option if the exercise price of the new Option would be less than the exercise price of the Option under the existing Option Award, including any Option surrendered for cancellation.

6.3Option Term.    The “Term” of each Option granted under this Plan shall not exceed 8 years from the date of its grant, and shall not exceed 5 years from the date of its grant in the case of an ISO granted to an employee who at the time of grant owns more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of ManTech within the meaning of Code Section 422. Reload Options issued on the exercise of an Option are expressly prohibited.

6.4Option Vesting.    Options granted under this Plan shall become vested and/or exercisable at such time and in such installments during the period prior to the expiration of the Option’s Term as determined by the

A-4


Committee. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, Options shall vest in one-third (1/3) increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date the Option is granted, provided that the Participant is a director or employee of the Company on each applicable date. The Committee shall have the right to make the timing of the ability to exercise any Option granted under this Plan subject to continued service as a director or an employee, the passage of time and/or such performance requirements as deemed appropriate by the Committee.

6.5Termination of Employment or Service.    Subject to Section 11 and Section 12 and unless the Committee provides otherwise, the terms of any Option granted under this Plan shall provide (a) that if the Eligible Person to whom such Option was granted ceases to serve as a director or an employee for any reason other than death or disability, the Option shall not thereafter become exercisable to an extent greater than it could have been exercised on the date the Eligible Person’s status as an employee or director (or in the case of a director who also serves as an employee, as both an employee and director) ceased, and that on the death or disability of an Eligible Person the Option shall become fully exercisable; and (b) that the Option shall expire and cease to be exercisable upon the earlier of the expiration of the Option Term and (i) in the case of the Eligible Person’s termination of employment on account of death or disability or ceasing to serve as a director for any reason, the first anniversary of the termination of the Eligible Person’s employment or service as a director, (ii) in the case of the Eligible Person’s termination of employment on account of a termination for cause, immediately upon the termination of the Eligible Person’s employment, and (iii) in the case of the Eligible Person’s termination of employment for any reason other than the foregoing, ninety (90) days after the termination of the Eligible Person’s employment, unless such person also served as a director, in which case clause (b)(i) of this Section 6.5 shall apply.

6.6Payment of Exercise Price.    The exercise price of an Option shall be paid in the form of one of more of the following, as the Committee shall specify, either through the terms of the Option Document or at the time of exercise of an Option: (a) cash or certified or cashiers’ check, (b) shares of capital stock of ManTech that have been held by the Participant for such period of time as the Committee may specify, (c) other property deemed acceptable by the Committee, (d) a reduction in the number of Shares or other property otherwise issuable pursuant to such Option, (e) payment under an arrangement with a broker acceptable to ManTech where payment is made pursuant to an irrevocable commitment by the broker to deliver to ManTech proceeds from the sale of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option, or (f) any combination of (a) through (e).

SECTION VII—INCENTIVE BONUSES

Each Incentive Bonus Award will confer upon the Eligible Person the opportunity to earn a future payment tied to the level of achievement with respect to one or more performance criteria established for a performance period established by the Committee.

7.1Incentive Bonus Document.    Each Incentive Bonus Document shall contain provisions regarding (a) the minimum, target and maximum amount payable to the Participant as an Incentive Bonus, (b) the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the amount of such payment, (c) the term of the performance period as to which performance shall be measured for determining the amount of any payment, (d) the timing of any payment earned by virtue of performance, (e) restrictions on the alienation or transfer of the Incentive Bonus prior to actual payment, (f) forfeiture provisions and (g) such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Committee. The maximum amount payable as an Incentive Bonus may be a multiple of the target amount payable, but the maximum amount payable pursuant to that portion of an Incentive Bonus Award granted under this Plan for any fiscal year to any Participant that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) shall not exceed $2,000,000.

7.2Performance Criteria.    The Committee shall establish the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the target and maximum amount payable under an Incentive Bonus

A-5


Award, which criteria may be based on financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations. The Committee may specify the percentage of the target Incentive Bonus that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions shall apply for any portion of an Incentive Bonus that is intended by the Committee to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). The performance criteria shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria (as defined in Section 10.2) selected by the Committee and specified at the time the Incentive Bonus Award is granted. Any Incentive Bonus Award shall be made not later than 90 days after the start of the period for which the Incentive Bonus relates and shall be made prior to the completion of 25% of the period. The Committee may not increase the amount of cash or Shares that would otherwise be payable upon achievement of the Qualifying Performance Criteria but may reduce or eliminate the payments as provided in an Incentive Bonus Award. The Committee shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof.

7.3Timing and Form of Payment.    The Committee shall determine the timing of payment of any Incentive Bonus which shall generally be no later than March 15 of the following calendar year after the performance period. The Committee may provide for or, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify, may permit a Participant to elect for the payment of any Incentive Bonus to be deferred to a specified date or event. An Incentive Bonus may be payable in Shares or in cash or other property, in each case as determined by the Committee. Any Incentive Bonus that is paid in cash or other property shall not affect the number of Shares otherwise available for issuance under this Plan.

7.4Discretionary Adjustments.    Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, to the extent the Committee provides in the Incentive Bonus Document, the amount paid under an Incentive Bonus Award on account of either financial performance or personal performance evaluations may be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee shall determine.

SECTION VIII—INCENTIVE STOCK

Incentive Stock is an award or issuance of Shares the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods of time to such conditions (including continued employment or service as a director or performance conditions) and terms as the Committee deems appropriate.

8.1Incentive Stock Document.    Each Incentive Stock Document shall contain provisions regarding (a) the number of Shares subject to such Award or a formula for determining such, (b) the purchase price of the Shares, if any, and the means of payment for the Shares, (c) the performance criteria, if any, and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the number of Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (d) such terms and conditions on the grant, issuance, vesting and/or forfeiture of the Shares as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, (e) restrictions on the transferability of the Shares and (f) such further terms and conditions in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Committee. The Committee may provide for the award of Incentive Stock in exchange for a Participant’s waiver of a bonus or other compensation.

8.2Sale Price.    Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee shall determine the price, if any, at which Shares of Incentive Stock shall be sold or awarded to an Eligible Person, which may vary from time to time and among Eligible Persons and which may be below the fair market value of such Shares at the date of grant or issuance.

8.3Share Vesting.    The grant, issuance, retention and/or vesting of Shares of Incentive Stock shall occur at such time and in such installments as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to make the timing of the grant and/or the issuance, ability to retain and/or vesting of Shares of Incentive Stock subject to continued employment or service as a director,

passage of time and/or such performance criteria as provided by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Shares of Incentive Stock shall vest in one-third (1/3) increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date the Incentive Stock is granted, provided that the Participant is a director or employee of the Company on each applicable date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the performance criteria for any Incentive Stock that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified at the time the Incentive Stock Award is granted.

8.4Discretionary Adjustments.    Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, to the extent provided at the time of grant, the number of Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Incentive Stock Award on account of either financial performance or personal performance evaluations may be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee shall determine.

8.5Termination of Employment or Service.    Subject to Section 11 and Section 12, upon a termination of employment or service as a director with the Company by a Participant prior to the vesting of or the lapsing of restrictions on Incentive Stock, the Incentive Stock Awards granted to such Participant shall be subject to such procedures as determined by the Committee.

SECTION IX—STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

The Committee may grant a Stock Appreciation Right or provide for the grant of an Stock Appreciation Right, either from time to time in the discretion of the Committee or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, the achievement of performance goals or the satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the recipient of the Award or within the control of others.

9.1Stock Appreciation Right Document.    Each Stock Appreciation Right Document shall contain provisions regarding (a) the number of Stock Appreciation Rights issued, (b) the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, (c) such terms and conditions on the vesting and/or exercisability of an Stock Appreciation Right as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, (d) restrictions on the transfer of the Stock Appreciation Right and forfeiture provisions and (e) such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Committee.

9.2Stock Appreciation Right Pricing.    The initial value per share of a Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall equal or exceed 100% of the fair market value for a Share on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. A Stock Appreciation Right may not be amended to reduce the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant, except as provided in Section 11 and Section 12.

9.3Stock Appreciation Right Term.    The Committee shall determine the “Term” of each Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan and the Term shall not exceed 8 years from the date of its grant.

9.4Stock Appreciation Right Vesting.    Stock Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan shall become vested and/or exercisable at such time and in such installments during the period prior to the expiration of the Stock Appreciation Right’s Term as determined by the Committee. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest in one-third (1/3) increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted, provided that the Participant is a director or employee of the Company on each applicable date. The Committee shall have the right to make the timing of the ability to exercise any Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan subject to continued service as a director or an employee, the passage of time and/or such performance requirements as deemed appropriate by the Committee.

9.5Termination of Employment or Service.    Subject to Section 11 and Section 12 and unless the Committee provides otherwise, the terms of any Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall provide

A-7


(a) that if the Eligible Person to whom such Stock Appreciation Right was granted ceases to serve as a director or an employee for any reason other than death or disability, the Stock Appreciation Right shall not thereafter become exercisable to an extent greater than it could have been exercised on the date the Eligible Person’s status as an employee or director (or in the case of a director who also serves as an employee, as both an employee and director) ceased, and that on the death or disability of an Eligible Person the Stock Appreciation Right shall become fully exercisable; and (b) that the Stock Appreciation Right shall expire and cease to be exercisable upon the earlier of the expiration of the Stock Appreciation Right Term and (i) in the case of the Eligible Person’s termination of employment on account of death or disability or ceasing to serve as a director for any reason, the first anniversary of the termination of the Eligible Person’s employment or service as a director, (ii) in the case of the Eligible Person’s termination of employment on account of a termination for cause, immediately upon the termination of the Eligible Person’s employment, and (iii) in the case of the Eligible Person’s termination of employment for any reason other than the foregoing, ninety (90) days after the termination of the Eligible Person’s employment, unless such person also served as a director, in which case clause (b)(i) of this Section 9.5 shall apply.

9.6Payment on Stock Appreciation Right.    Stock Appreciation Rights shall entitle the Participant, upon exercise of all or any part of the Stock Appreciation Rights, to surrender to the Company the portion of the Stock Appreciation Rights so exercised and to receive in exchange from the Company an amount equal to the excess of (x) the fair market value on the date of exercise of the Shares covered by the surrendered portion of the Stock Appreciation Right over (y) the initial value of the surrendered portion of the Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may limit the amount that the Participant will be entitled to receive upon exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights.

SECTION X—OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

10.1Transferability.    Unless the agreement or other document evidencing an Award (or an amendment thereto authorized by the Committee) expressly states that the Award is transferable as provided hereunder, no Award granted under this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred any manner prior to the vesting or lapse of any and all restrictions applicable thereto, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may grant an Award or amend an outstanding Award to provide that the Award is transferable or assignable (a) in the case of a transfer without the payment of any consideration, to any “family member” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(5) of the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the 1933 Act, as such may be amended from time to time, (b) in any transfer described in clause (ii) of Section 1(a)(5) of the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the 1933 Act as amended from time to time, provided that following any such transfer or assignment the Award will remain subject to substantially the same terms applicable to the Award while held by the Participant, as modified as the Committee shall determine appropriate, and as a condition to such transfer the transferee shall execute an agreement agreeing to be bound by such terms.

10.2Qualifying Performance Criteria.    For purposes of this Plan, the term “Qualifying Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business unit or subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Committee in the Award: (a) cash flow, (b) earnings per share (including earnings before interest, taxes and/or amortization and/or depreciation), (c) stock price, (d) return on equity, (e) total stockholder return, (f) return on capital, (g) return on assets or net assets, (h) revenue, (i) income or net income, (j) operating income or net operating income, (k) operating profit or net operating profit, (l) operating margin or profit margin, (m) return on operating revenue, (n) market share, (o) contract win, renewal or extension, (p) days sales outstanding, (q) contract bookings, (r) cost control, (s) inter-company working authorizations; (t) cash management, (u) debt reduction; (v) customer satisfaction, (w) delivery

A-8


schedule, (x) cycle-time improvement, (y) productivity, (z) quality, (aa) workforce diversity, (bb) comparisons to budget items, (cc) implementation or completion of specified projects or processes, (dd) employee turnover, (ee) business unit forecast accuracy of any performance criteria, (ff) staff hiring, and/or (gg) completion of mergers or acquisitions. To the extent consistent with Code Section 162(m), the Committee shall appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for discontinued operations, reorganization and restructuring programs and (v) any extraordinary non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the ManTech’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year.

10.3Dividends.    Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, no adjustment shall be made in Shares issuable under Awards on account of cash dividends that may be paid or other rights that may be issued to the holders of Shares prior to their issuance under any Award. No dividends or dividend equivalent amounts shall accrue or be paid to any Participant with respect to the Shares subject to any Award that have not vested or been issued or that are subject to any restrictions or conditions on the record date for dividends, unless the Committee provides otherwise.

10.4Documents Evidencing Awards.    The Committee shall, subject to applicable law, determine the date an Award is deemed to be granted, which for purposes of this Plan shall not be affected by the fact that an Award is contingent on subsequent events. The Committee or, except to the extent prohibited under applicable law, its delegate(s) may establish the terms of written or electronic agreements or other documents evidencing Awards under this Plan and may, but need not, require as a condition to any such agreement’s or document’s effectiveness that such agreement or document be executed by the Participant and that such Participant agree to such further terms and conditions as specified in such agreement or document. The grant of an Award under this Plan shall not confer any rights upon the Participant holding such Award other than such terms, and subject to such conditions, as are specified in this Plan as being applicable to such type of Award (or to all Awards) or as are expressly set forth in the agreement or other document evidencing such Award.

10.5Tandem Stock or Cash Rights.    Either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, the Committee may, but need not, provide that an Award shall contain as a term thereof, a right, either in tandem with the other rights under the Award or as an alternative thereto, of the Participant to receive, without payment to the Company, a number of Shares, cash or a combination thereof, the amount of which is determined by reference to the value of the Award.

10.6Stock Units.    A “Stock Unit” is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equivalent to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, except as otherwise provided for by the Committee. Stock Units may be issued upon exercise of Options, may be granted in payment and satisfaction of Incentive Bonus Awards and may be issued in lieu of, Performance Stock or any other Award that the Committee elects to be paid in the form of Stock Units. Unless provided otherwise by the Committee, settlement of Stock Units shall be made by issuance of Shares and shall occur within 60 days after an Employee’s termination of employment for any reason. The Committee may provide for Stock Units to be settled in cash (at the election of ManTech or the Participant, as specified by the Committee) and to be made at such other times as it determines appropriate or as it permits a Participant to choose. The amount of Shares, or other settlement medium, to be so distributed may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents, which may be valued as if reinvested in Shares. Until a Stock Unit is settled, the number of shares of Shares represented by a Stock Unit shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10 and Section 11. To the extent that a Stock Unit is subject to Code Section 409A, the terms of the Stock Unit shall be set and administered to comply with the requirements of that section.

10.7Additional Restrictions on Awards.    Either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, the Committee may, but need not, impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate

A-9


as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by a Participant of any Shares issued under an Award, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Participants, and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.

SECTION XI—CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

11.1Corporate Actions Unimpaired.    The existence of outstanding Awards (including any Options) shall not affect in any way the right and power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, exchanges, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of Shares or other securities or subscription rights thereto, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares or other securities of the Company or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. Further, except as expressly provided herein or by the Committee, (a) the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class of securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, (b) the payment of a dividend in property other than Shares, or (c) the occurrence of any similar transaction, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to Options or other Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per Share, unless the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion that an adjustment is necessary to provide equitable treatment to a Participant.

11.2Adjustments Upon Certain Events.    If the outstanding Shares or other securities of the Company, or both, for which the Award is then exercisable or as to which the Award is to be settled shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, acquisition or combination or in the event of an extraordinary dividend paid in cash, debt or property, in each case as such events may be determined by the Committee to occur, the Committee may, but need not, appropriately and equitably adjust the number and kind of Shares or other securities which are subject to this Plan or subject to any Awards theretofore granted, and the exercise or settlement prices of such Awards, so as to maintain the proportionate number of Shares or other securities without changing the aggregate exercise or settlement price, provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made so as to not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as an ISO or as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m).

SECTION XII—CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS

12.1Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor.    In the event of (a) a dissolution or liquidation of ManTech, (b) a merger or consolidation in which ManTech is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of ManTech in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of ManTech or their relative stock holdings and the Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption will be binding on all Participants), (c) a merger in which ManTech is the surviving corporation but after which the stockholders of ManTech immediately prior to such merger (other than any stockholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with ManTech in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in ManTech, (d) the sale of substantially all of the assets of ManTech, or (e) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of ManTech by tender offer or similar transaction, any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation (if any), which assumption, conversion or replacement will be binding on all Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Awards or provide

A-10


substantially similar consideration to Participants as was provided to stockholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards). The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares of ManTech held by the Participant, substantially similar shares or other property subject to repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Participant. In the event such successor corporation (if any) refuses to assume or substitute Awards, as provided above, pursuant to a transaction described in this Subsection 12.1, such Awards (in the case of Options, to the extent not exercised prior to the date of such transaction and in the case of all other Awards, to the extent not fully vested and free from any restrictions prior to the date of such transaction) will expire on such transaction at such time and on such conditions as the Committee determines. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, but need not, provide in the terms of an Award for alternative treatment in connection with a transaction described in this Section 12 and/or provide that the vesting of any or all Awards granted pursuant to this Plan will accelerate in connection with a transaction described in this Section 12.

12.2Other Treatment of Awards.    Subject to any greater rights granted to Participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, in the event of the occurrence of any transaction described in Section 12.1, any outstanding Awards will be treated as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, or sale of assets.

12.3Assumption of Awards by the Company.    The Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either; (a) granting an Award under this Plan in substitution of such other company’s award; or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted under this Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under this Plan. Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under this Plan if the other company had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions of such award will remain unchanged (except that the exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of any such option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Code Section 424(a)). In the event the Company elects to grant a new Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted exercise price.

SECTION XIII—TAXES

13.1Withholding Requirements.    The Committee may make such provisions or impose such conditions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding or payment by a Participant of any taxes that the Committee determines are required in connection with any Award granted under this Plan, and a Participant’s rights in any Award are subject to satisfaction of such conditions.

13.2Payment of Withholding Taxes.    Notwithstanding the terms of Section 13.1, the Committee may provide in the agreement or other document evidencing an Award or otherwise that all or any portion of the taxes required to be withheld by the Company or, if permitted by the Committee, desired to be paid by the Participant, in connection with the exercise, vesting, settlement or transfer of any Award shall or may be paid by the Company withholding shares of ManTech’s capital stock otherwise issuable or subject to such Award, by the Participant delivering previously owned shares of ManTech’s capital stock, in each case having a fair market value equal to the amount required or elected to be withheld or paid, or by a broker selected or approved by the Company paying such amount pursuant to an irrevocable commitment by the broker to deliver to the Company proceeds from the sale of the Shares issuable under the Award. Any such election is subject to such conditions or procedures as may be established by the Committee and may be subject to approval by the Committee.

A-11


SECTION XIV—AMENDMENTS OR TERMINATION

The Board may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan or any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan but, except as provided pursuant to the anti-dilution adjustment provisions of Section 11 and the change of control provisions of Section 12, no such amendment shall, without the approval of the stockholders of ManTech materially increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under this Plan or change the class of persons eligible to be Eligible Employees or Participants in any material respect.

The Board may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan or any agreement evidencing an Award made under this Plan, but no amendment or alteration shall be made which would impair the rights of any Award holder, without such holder’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted, provided that no such consent shall be required if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such amendment or alteration either (i) is required or advisable in order for the Company, this Plan or the Award to satisfy any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard, (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been adequately compensated, or (iii) is deemed necessary to ensure that the Company may obtain any approval referred to in Section 15 or to ensure that the grant or exercise of any Award or any other provision of this Plan satisfies requirements for an exemption under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or Code Sections 162(m), 280G, 409A, 422 or 4999.

SECTION XV—COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS

This Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards thereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver Shares under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver any Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such Shares under any federal, state or foreign law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. This Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded arrangement for a select group of the Company’s directors and management, or other key employees.

No Option shall be exercisable unless a registration statement with respect to the Option is effective or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary. Unless the Awards and Shares covered by this Plan have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary, each person receiving an Award and/or Shares pursuant to any Award may be required by the Company to give a representation in writing that such person is acquiring such Shares for his or her own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any part thereof.

The Plan is intended to operate in compliance with the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 16b-3 and to facilitate compliance with, and optimize the benefits from, Code Section 162(m) and Code Section 409A. The terms of this Plan are subject to all present and future regulations and rulings of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States or his or her delegate relating to the qualification of ISOs under the Code. If any provision of the Plan conflicts with any such regulation or ruling, then that provision of the Plan shall be void and of no effect.

SECTION XVI—OPTION GRANTS AND AWARDS BY SUBSIDIARIES

In the case of a grant of an Option or other Award granted to any Eligible Person employed by a subsidiary, such grant may, if the Committee so directs, be implemented by the Company issuing any subject Shares to the

A-12


subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may determine, upon the condition or understanding that the subsidiary will transfer the Shares to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Option or other Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Option or other Award may be issued by and in the name of the subsidiary and shall be deemed granted on such date as the Committee shall determine.

SECTION XVII—NO RIGHT TO COMPANY EMPLOYMENT OR

SERVICE AS A DIRECTOR

Nothing in this Plan or as a result of any Award granted pursuant to this Plan shall confer on any individual any right to continue in the employ of the Company or as a director of the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate an individual’s employment or service as a director at any time. The agreements or other documents evidencing Awards may contain such provisions as the Committee may approve with reference to the effect of approved leaves of absence.

SECTION XVIII—LIABILITY OF COMPANY

The Company shall not be liable to a Participant, an Eligible Person or other persons as to:

(a) The Non-Issuance of Shares.    The non-issuance or sale of shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder; and

(b) Tax Consequences.    Any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant, Eligible Person or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Option or other Award granted hereunder.

SECTION XIX—EFFECTIVENESS AND EXPIRATION OF PLAN

This Restatement of the Plan shall be effective as of June 7, 2006 if approved by shareholders of the Company. No Awards shall be granted pursuant to this Plan more than ten (10) years after the effective date of this Plan.

SECTION XX—NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PLAN

Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock or stock options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

SECTION XXI—GOVERNING LAW

This Plan and any agreements or other documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and applicable federal law. Unless otherwise provided in the document or other agreement evidencing an Award, any dispute as to any Award shall be presented and determined exclusively in a state court in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any reference in this Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Award to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability.
