ii STOCK OPTION PLAN OF SRA INTERNATIONAL, INC. I. General ------- 1.1 Purpose of the Plan. ------------------- The Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") of SRA International, Inc. (the "Company") is intended to advance the best interests of the Company by providing key employees with additional incentives through the grant of options to purchase shares of Class A or Class B Common stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company, thereby increasing the personal stake of such key employees in the continued success and growth of the Company and encouraging them to remain in the employ of the Company. 1.2 Administration of the Plan. -------------------------- (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company, or by a Committee of the Board of Directors. If a Committee is designated to administer the Plan, each member of the Committee shall, during the time he or she serves as a member of the Committee, refrain from voting on the award of options under the Plan to himself or herself. Unless the context otherwise requires, references hereunder to the Board shall include the Committee, if one is appointed and acting at the time of such action. The Board shall have the full and final authority in its discretion to interpret conclusively the provisions of the Plan; to adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem advisable, to decide all questions of fact arising in the application of the Plan; and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. (b) The Board shall meet once each fiscal year, and at such additional times as it may determine or at the request of the President of the Company, to designate the eligible employees, if any, to be granted awards under the Plan and the type and amount of such awards and the time when awards will be granted. All awards granted under the Plan shall be on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter provided. (c) The fair market value ("Fair Market Value") of the Common Stock for purposes of the Plan shall be the Formula Price of the Common Stock determined as described in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 1.3 Eligible Participants. --------------------- Key employees, including officers and such other persons as may be designated by the Board of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the term "Subsidiary" or "Subsidiaries" hereinafter means any subsidiary corporation as defined in Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 1 as amended (the "Code")) shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Persons who are not employees of the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan. 1.4 Awards Under the Plan. --------------------- Stock options granted under the Plan shall be options to purchase shares of either Class A or Class B Common Stock of the Company, as designated in a Stock Option agreement entered into at the time such options are granted. 1.5 Limitation of Shares Issuable. ----------------------------- Subject to Section 3.2, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed twenty five million (25,000,000) shares. Options may be allotted to such eligible participants, and in such amounts, as the Board, in its discretion, may from time to time determine. To the extent that the fair market value of Common Stock (determined for each share as of the date of grant of the Option covering such share) subject to options granted under the Plan (or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary) which are designated as Incentive Stock Options and which become exercisable by an Optionee for the first time during a single calendar year exceeds $100,000, the option(s) (or portion(s) thereof) covering such Common Stock shall be recharacterized (to the extent of such excess over $100,000) as an option other than one described in Sections 422(b) or 423(b) of the Code. 1.6 Other Compensation Programs. --------------------------- The existence and terms of the Plan shall not limit the authority of the Board in compensating employees of the Company in such other forms and amounts, including other plans or arrangements, as it may determine from time to time.
