Granted Under 2002 Stock Incentive Plan

This Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made on _____________, 20__ (the “Grant Date”), between SRA International, Inc,. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and _____________ (the “Participant”).

For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Issuance of Shares.

The Company shall issue to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), _____________ shares (the “Shares”) of Class A Common Stock, $0.004 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”). The Shares will be held in book entry by the Company’s transfer agent or by a firm designated by the Company to administer the Plan (the transfer agent or such firm being referred to herein as the “Administrator”) in the name of the Participant for that number of Shares issued to the Participant. The Participant agrees that the Shares shall be subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

2. Vesting.

(a) The Shares shall vest and become free from the forfeiture provisions in Section 2(b) hereof and become free from the transfer restrictions in Section 4 hereof as set forth below:

 

No. of Shares    Vesting Date
____    MM/DD/20__
____    MM/DD/20__
____    MM/DD/20__
____    MM/DD/20__

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the specified Shares shall not vest on the vesting dates specified above unless the Participant, on such date, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company as defined in Section 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor to the Company (an “Eligible Participant”). In the event the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, except as set forth in the next sentence, then any Shares that are not then vested in accordance with Section 2(a) shall be forfeited immediately and automatically to the Company and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to such Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the final vesting date at a time when he or she is an Eligible Participant, then any remaining unvested Shares shall vest in full on the date of death or disability.


3. Automatic Sale Upon Vesting.

(a) Upon any vesting of Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall sell, or arrange for the sale of, such number of the Shares no longer subject to forfeiture under Section 2 as is sufficient to generate net proceeds sufficient to satisfy the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations with respect to the income recognized by the Participant upon the lapse of the forfeiture provisions (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for all tax purposes, including payroll and social security taxes, that are applicable to such income), and the Company shall retain such net proceeds in satisfaction of such tax withholding obligations. Alternatively, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to instruct the Administrator to deliver to the Company such number of Shares as has a fair market value sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligations.

(b) The Participant hereby appoints the Company’s Chief Financial Officer as his attorney in fact to sell the Participant’s Shares in accordance with this Section 3. The Participant agrees to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and certificates as may reasonably be required in connection with the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Section 3.

(c) The Participant represents to the Company that, as of the date hereof, he is not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company or the Common Stock. The Participant and the Company have structured this Agreement to constitute a “binding contract” relating to the sale of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3, consistent with the affirmative defense to liability under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 under Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under such Act.

(d) The Participant may, at any time, by providing notice to the Company and the Administrator, elect to revoke the provisions of Section 3(a), in which case upon any vesting of Shares occurring thereafter the Participant shall pay to the Company immediately upon such vesting, by cash or check, an amount sufficient to satisfy the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations with respect to the income recognized by the Participant upon the lapse of the forfeiture provisions (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for all tax purposes, including payroll and social security taxes, that are applicable to such income).

4. Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”) any Shares, or any interest therein, until such Shares have vested, except that the Participant may transfer such Shares (i) to or for the benefit of any spouse, children, parents, siblings, grandchildren and any other relatives approved by the Board of Directors (collectively, “Approved Relatives”) or to a trust established solely for the benefit of the Participant and/or Approved Relatives, provided that such Shares shall remain subject to this Agreement (including without limitation the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4 and the forfeiture provisions contained in Section 2) and such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument confirming that such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) as part of the sale of all or substantially all of the shares of capital stock of the Company (including pursuant to a merger or consolidation), provided that, in accordance with the Plan and except as otherwise provided herein, the securities or other property received by the Participant in connection with such transaction shall remain subject to this Agreement.
