This Performance Share Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of the Grant Date (as defined below), is between Engility Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and the Participant (as defined below). Any term capitalized but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Engility Holdings, Inc. 2012 Long Term Performance Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the grant of Performance Shares to key employees of the Corporation or its Affiliates as approved by the Committee. In exercise of its discretion under the Plan, the Committee has determined that the Participant should receive a Performance-Based Award of Restricted Stock subject to the terms and restrictions set forth herein under the Plan and, accordingly, the Corporation and the Participant hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Agreement:

(a) “Cause” means the Participant’s: (i) intentional failure to perform reasonably assigned duties, which failure the Participant does not cure within fifteen days of the Corporation providing written notice of such failure; (ii) personal dishonesty or willful misconduct in the performance of duties; (iii) breach of fiduciary duties to the Corporation involving personal profit; (iv) willful violation of any law, rule or regulation in connection with the performance of duties (other than traffic violations or similar offenses); or (iv) any act by a Participant involving fraud, any breach by Participant of applicable regulations of competent authorities in relation to trading or dealing with stocks, securities, investments and the like or any willful or grossly negligent act by the Participant resulting in an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which, in the case of (iv) above, the Board reasonably determines materially adversely affects the Corporation or the Participant’s ability to perform his or her duties to the Corporation. For purposes of this definition, an act, or failure to act, on Participant’s part shall be deemed “willful” if done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interest of the Corporation. For purposes of this definition, “Corporation” includes any applicable Subsidiary, Successor and any Subsidiary of a Successor.

(b) “Good Reason” means any of the following actions, without the Participant’s express prior written approval: (i) any material reduction in base salary, annual cash incentive opportunity or long-term incentive opportunity, (ii) subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan(s), any failure by the Corporation to continue to provide employee benefits to the Participant that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those afforded to persons of comparable title and position of the Corporation or applicable Subsidiary (for this purpose employee benefits shall mean retirement, fringe and welfare benefits); (iii) any material adverse change in the Participant’s duties or responsibilities; (iv) any relocation of the Participant’s principal place of business of 50 miles or more, provided that such relocation also increases the Participant’s commute by at least 25 miles; or (v) any failure to pay amounts earned by the Participant within ten (10) days after the date such compensation is due. For purposes of this definition, “Corporation” includes any applicable Subsidiary, Successor and any Subsidiary of a Successor.

(g) “Successor” means the entity surviving a Change in Control transaction involving the Corporation or Engility Corporation, and includes any entity of which such survivor is a Subsidiary and any entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

(h) “Target Shares” shall mean [# of Shares] Performance Shares, which represents the target number of shares of Stock that may vest and be released to the Participant pursuant to this Award. The actual number of Performance Shares granted hereunder that will vest pursuant to this Award shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit A hereof.

No earlier than the day following the day on which the Restricted Period ends, subject to the Corporation’s right to require payment of any taxes in accordance with Section 5(f) of the Plan and paragraph 13 hereof, the restrictions shall be removed from the requisite number of any Performance Shares (as provided by Exhibit A) that are held in book entry form and such shares thereafter shall be released as unrestricted Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exhibit A sets forth the extent to which the Corporation may elect, in its sole discretion, to substitute any Performance Shares otherwise vested and released to Participant upon the expiration of the Restricted Period related thereto with an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock that would otherwise have been vested and released to Participant on such date, less applicable withholding taxes.

5. Restrictions on Transfer During Restricted Period.

(b) In the event the Successor does not assume the Award granted hereby, the Restricted Period shall end with respect to a number of Performance Shares equal to (i) the Target Shares, if less than one-half of the Performance Period applicable to the Corporation has elapsed prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, or (ii) the actual number of Performance Shares that would have vested if the date of the Change in Control were the end of the Performance Period and the actual performance as of that date had been the actual performance for the entire Performance Period, if one-half or more of the Performance Period applicable to the Corporation has elapsed prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, and the appropriate number of Performance Shares shall be vested and released in accordance with paragraph 4.

7. Termination of Employment During Restricted Period.

(a) In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries is terminated (other than by reason of death, “qualifying retirement” or “disability,” as defined below) prior to the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period and prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Participant the Participant shall forfeit the Performance Shares and all of the Participant’s rights hereunder shall cease (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan). The Participant’s rights to the Performance Shares shall not be affected by any change in the nature of the Participant’s employment so long as the Participant continues to be an employee or other applicable service provider, within the discretion of the Committee, of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) In the event the Participant terminates employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries because of “qualifying retirement” after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period and the occurrence of a Change in Control, the provisions of paragraph 7(a) shall not apply and the number of Performance Shares earned and vested hereunder shall be determined as of the end of the Performance Period in accordance with Exhibit A as if Participant’s employment had continued through the end of the Restricted Period. The applicable number of Performance Shares earned and vested shall be released in accordance with paragraph 4 following the certification by the Committee of the achievement of the performance targets in accordance with paragraph 3 and Exhibit A. For purposes of this Agreement, “qualifying retirement” means the Participant (A) terminates employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries other than for Cause (and is not subject to termination for Cause at the time of such termination) more than one year after the Grant Date, (B) is available for consultation with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries at the reasonable request of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and (C) terminates employment on or after attaining age 65 and completing at least five years of service in the aggregate with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries (which service must be continuous through the date of termination except for a single break in service that does not exceed one year in length).

(c) If the Participant’s employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries is terminated because of death or “disability” prior to the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period and prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the provisions of paragraph 7(a) shall not apply and the Restricted Period shall end with respect to a number of Performance Shares equal to the Target Shares, and the appropriate number of Performance Shares shall be vested and released in accordance with paragraph 4. For purposes of this Agreement, “disability” means the Participant, as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, becomes eligible for benefits under the long-term disability plan or policy of the Corporation or a Subsidiary in which the Participant is eligible to participate.

(d) Whether (and the circumstances under which) employment has been terminated and the determination of the termination date for the purposes of this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee or (with respect to any employee other than an “Executive Officer” as defined under the Plan) its designee (who, at the date of this Agreement, shall be the Corporation’s Vice President of Human Resources), whose good faith determination shall be final, binding and conclusive; provided, that such designee may not make any such determination with respect to his or her own employment.

8. Dividends. If the Corporation pays a cash dividend on its common stock, the Participant shall accrue in his or her Dividend Account (as defined below) a cash dividend equivalent with respect to the maximum number of Performance Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement as of the record date for the dividend. The Corporation shall cause an account (the “Dividend Account”) to be established and maintained as part of the records of the Corporation to evidence the aggregate cash dividend equivalents accrued by the Participant from time to time under this paragraph. No interest shall accrue on any amounts reflected in the Dividend Account. The Participant’s interest in the amounts reflected in the Dividend Account shall be that of a general, unsecured creditor of the Corporation. Subject to, and as promptly as practicable following, the vesting and release of the Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 hereunder, the Corporation shall pay an amount in cash (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) to the Participant (or his or her transferee(s) who are issued the Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 hereunder) equal to the aggregate cash dividend equivalents accrued in the Participant’s Dividend Account with respect to the vested Stock released to the Participant and the Participant’s Dividend Account shall be eliminated at that time. In the event that the Participant forfeits his or her rights to all or any portion of the Performance Shares, the Participant also shall be deemed to have forfeited his or her rights to any cash dividend equivalents accrued in the Participant’s Dividend Account with respect to such forfeited shares and the Participant’s Dividend Account shall be eliminated at that time.

9. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon the Participant any right to continue employment by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, nor shall this Agreement or the Plan interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time for any reason whatsoever, whether or not with cause.

10. Company Clawback Policy. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation may require the Participant to return shares of Stock (or the value of such Stock when originally released to Participant), dividends paid from the Dividend Account and any other amount required by law to be returned, in the event that such repayment is required in order to comply with the Corporation’s clawback policy as then in effect or any laws or regulations relating to restatements of the Corporation’s publicly-reported financial results.

11. Adjustments Upon Change in Capitalization. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, spin-offs, stock dividend or similar capital adjustment, as a result of which shares of any class shall be issued in respect of outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock or shares of Corporation’s Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares or into another class or classes or into other property or cash, the number of Performance Shares shall be adjusted to reflect such event so as to preserve (without enlarging) the value of the award hereunder, with the manner of such adjustment to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. This paragraph shall also apply with respect to any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution in respect of the Corporation’s Common Stock (whether in the form of cash or other property).

12. General Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation shall have no obligation to transfer the Stock as contemplated by this agreement unless and until such transfer shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Corporation’s shares are listed for trading.

13. Tax Withholding. Upon the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period, the Participant shall remit to the Corporation the minimum amount necessary to satisfy Federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax requirements, if any (“Withholding Taxes”) as a condition to the Corporation’s issuance of any Stock as provided in paragraph 4. The payment shall be in cash, unless otherwise

The value of any Stock delivered or withheld as payment in respect of withholding tax requirements shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Stock as of the date of such withholding or delivery. In the event that Withholding Taxes are satisfied by withholding a portion of the Stock otherwise deliverable upon vesting to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation shall not withhold any Stock in excess of the minimum number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes.

Exhibit A

Engility Holdings, Inc.

2013 Performance Share Award Performance Targets

1. Target Shares. The target number of Performance Shares for the Participant is [            ].

2. Maximum Shares. The maximum number of Performance Shares for the Participant is [            ].

3. Performance Period. The “Performance Period” for this Award shall begin on January 1, 2013 and end on December 31, 2015.

4. Performance Goals. The “Performance Goals” for this Award are (A) the Corporation’s relative compounded annual revenue growth for the Performance Period ranked against that of the companies that comprise the Corporation Peer Group, and (B) the total shareholder return of the Corporation for the Performance Period ranked against the total shareholder return of companies that are included in the Corporation Peer Group, in each case, for the Performance Period as further described below.

5. Definitions. For purposes of this Exhibit A, the following terms have the following meanings:

Revenue CAGR” means a single, three year compounded annual growth rate of revenue, as defined by the Performance Period, where revenue is based on GAAP, as reported on the Corporation’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the applicable years. In evaluating the Corporation’s Revenue CAGR versus peer group companies’ CAGR performance over the Performance Period, the Committee shall adjust the Corporation’s and peer group companies’ GAAP reported revenue for extraordinary items (within the meaning of GAAP) and any effects related to a change in tax or accounting principles, as applicable. The Committee shall determine the Revenue CAGR of each member of the Corporation Peer Group by reference to its financial statements as filed with the SEC for the most recent twelve fiscal quarters ending with or prior to the end of the Performance Period.

Corporation Peer Group” means the following companies: [LIST OF COMPANY PEERS]. Companies who become no longer publicly traded at any time during the Performance Period (including by reason of being acquired by another public company) shall be eliminated from the Corporation Peer Group ab initio for the entirety of the Performance Period. Companies that become bankrupt during the Performance Period will be assigned the lowest rank in the percentiles.

TSR Rank” means the aggregate total shareholder return on Stock over the Performance Period, ranked against the total shareholder return over the same three year period for each of the companies that comprise the Corporation Peer Group. Total shareholder return will be calculated using a beginning price equal to the trading volume weighted average price over the period beginning thirty (30) calendar days prior to the start of the Performance Period and ending the calendar day before the start of the Performance Period, and an ending price equal to the trading volume weighted average price over the period beginning thirty (30) calendar days prior to the end of the Performance Period and ending with the end of the Performance Period, and accounting for immediate reinvestment (as of the ex-dividend date) of all cash dividends and other cash distributions (excluding cash distributions resulting from share repurchases or redemptions by the Company) over this period. Following the Performance Period, the total shareholder return shall be computed for the Corporation and each company in the Corporation Peer Group and each of such companies shall be ranked in accordance with this metric. The Schedule in paragraph 4 below refers to percentiles of this TSR Rank.

 

A-1


6. Percentage of Performance Shares Earned. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine the extent to which Performance Shares have become earned according to the sum of the results of the following two schedules:

 

  (A) Revenue CAGR Performance Shares. The number of Target Shares subject to the Revenue CAGR Performance Goal is one half of the Target Shares. The percentage of such Performance Shares that will vest with Revenue CAGR performance is as follows:

 

3 Year Revenue CAGR

   Percentage of Revenue CAGR
Target Performance Shares Earned
 

75th Percentile or above

     200

50th Percentile

     100

25th Percentile

     50

Below 25th Percentile

     0

 

  (B) TSR Performance Shares. The number of Target Shares subject to the TSR Performance Goal is one half of the Target Shares. The percentage of such Performance Shares that will vest with TSR performance is as follows:

 

TSR Rank

   Percentage of TSR Target
Performance Shares Earned
 

75th Percentile or above

     200

50th Percentile

     100

25th Percentile

     50

Below 25th Percentile1

     0

 

1 

Notwithstanding anything in the Revenue CAGR Schedule, if the Corporation’s TSR is in the bottom quartile of the Corporation Peer Group, none of the Performance Shares shall vest.

Thus, up to 200% of the Target Shares may be earned if maximum performance is achieved for both Performance Goals, and, therefore, the actual number of shares of Restricted Stock that shall be granted and outstanding (pending resolution of the performance goals and vesting provided herein) as of the Grant Date shall be the Maximum Shares. Vesting related to performance between the percentiles listed above will be determined by straight line interpolation. Any Performance Shares not earned and vested as provided above on the applicable determination date shall be forfeited. Beginning on the date the Restricted Period ends pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, and ending on the date the Performance Shares are released to the Participant as unrestricted Stock in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, the Committee shall have the discretion to substitute a cash payment for any portion of the Performance Shares as determined by the Committee. Such cash payment shall be equal to the product of (1) the number of Performance Shares that the Committee has determined to be substituted for, and (2) the Fair Market Value of the Corporation’s Stock on the date the cash payment is made, net of any applicable withholding amounts.
