NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Employment

SECTION 1.01. Term. The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Period”); provided that such term of employment shall automatically renew upon the expiration of the Initial Period and on each subsequent anniversary thereof for one year (“Renewal Period”), unless PAE delivers to Executive, or Executive delivers to PAE, written notice (“Notice of Non-Renewal”) at least 60 days in advance of the expiration of the Initial Period or any Renewal Period that such term of employment shall not be extended, in which case such term of employment shall end at the end of the Initial Period or Renewal Period in which such notice was delivered and shall not be further extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s employment with PAE shall be “at will” and, subject to the provisions of Article IV and the notice requirements set forth above, Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by PAE or Executive at any time and for any reason, with or without prior notice.

SECTION 1.02. Position and Duties. During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of PAE, performing duties and having responsibilities customary for the chief executive officer of similar companies. Executive shall perform such services and duties in accordance with the policies, practices and bylaws of PAE.

SECTION 1.03. Time and Effort. Executive shall serve PAE faithfully, loyally, honestly and to the best of Executive’s ability. Executive shall devote all of Executive’s business time and best efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties on behalf of PAE. During Executive’s term of employment, Executive shall not at any time or place or to any extent whatsoever, either directly or indirectly, without the express written consent of the Board of Directors or other governing body of PAE (the “Board”), engage in any outside employment or in any activity that, in the reasonable judgment of PAE, is competitive with or adverse to the business, practice or affairs of PAE or any of its affiliates, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to (i) serve as a director of charitable organizations to the extent such service has been approved by the Board (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) continue to serve on the University of Pittsburgh Business Alumni Association Board of Directors.

ARTICLE II

Compensation

SECTION 2.01. Base Salary. During the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, PAE shall, as compensation for the obligations set forth herein and for all services rendered by Executive in any capacity during Executive’s employment under this Agreement, including services as an officer, employee, director or member of any governing body, or committee thereof, of PAE or any of its affiliates, pay Executive a base salary (“Base Salary”) at the annual rate of $672,000 per year, payable in substantially equal installments in accordance with PAE’s standard payroll practices as in effect from time to time. In the event that sickness or disability payments under any insurance programs of PAE or otherwise shall become payable to Executive in respect of any period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the salary installment payable to Executive hereunder on the next succeeding salary installment payment date shall be an amount computed by subtracting (a) the amount of such sickness or disability payments that shall have become payable during the period between such date and the immediately preceding salary installment date from (b) the salary installment otherwise payable to Executive hereunder on such date.

SECTION 2.02. Annual Bonus. During the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the annual incentive compensation plans of PAE, as may be continued or established by the Board, in its discretion, from time to time (the “Bonus Plan”) and shall have the opportunity to earn a performance-based bonus (“Annual Bonus”) targeted at 100% of Executive’s Base Salary (“Target Bonus”) and a maximum bonus opportunity for above-target performance of up to 200% of Executive’s Base Salary for the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates. The performance goals and Annual Bonus payable for a given fiscal year under the Bonus Plan shall be determined by the Board. Except as provided in Article IV, payment of the Annual Bonus will be conditioned upon Executive’s continued employment though the payment date.

ARTICLE III

Executive Benefits

SECTION 3.01. Benefit Plans. During the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to participate in any benefit plans (excluding severance, bonus, incentive or profit-sharing plans) offered by PAE as in effect from time to time (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) on the same basis as that generally made available to other employees of PAE to the extent Executive may be eligible to do so under the terms of any such Benefit Plan. Executive understands that any such Benefit Plans may be terminated or amended from time to time by PAE in its discretion. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 3.01, nothing shall preclude Executive from participating during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement in any present or future bonus, incentive or profit-sharing plan or other plan of PAE for the benefit of its employees, in each case as and to the extent approved or determined by the Board in its discretion and subject to the other terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.02. Business Expenses. PAE will reimburse Executive for all reasonably incurred business expenses, subject to the travel and expense policy established by PAE from time to time, incurred by Executive during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder; provided that Executive furnishes to PAE adequate records and other documentary evidence required to substantiate such expenditures.

SECTION 3.03. Vacation. During the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Executive shall receive 20 paid vacation days per year, which shall be accrued and taken in accordance with PAE’s vacation policy.

ARTICLE IV

Termination

SECTION 4.01. Exclusive Rights. The amounts payable under this Article IV are intended to be, and are, exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive may otherwise be entitled, including under common, tort or contract law, under policies of PAE and its affiliates in effect from time to time, under this Agreement or otherwise, in the event of Executive’s termination of employment with PAE and its affiliates.

SECTION 4.02. Termination by PAE for Cause; Termination by Executive without Good Reason. (a) If PAE terminates Executive for Cause or if Executive elects to terminate Executive’s employment with PAE without Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) Base Salary earned through the date of termination that remains unpaid as of the date of Executive’s termination, (ii) any Annual Bonus for any previously completed bonus period that has been earned and remains unpaid as of the date of Executive’s termination, (iii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Executive prior to the date of Executive’s termination to the extent such expenses are reimbursable under Section 3.02 and (iv) such benefits (excluding benefits under any severance plan, program or

3

policy then in effect), if any, to which Executive may be entitled under the Benefit Plans as of the date of Executive’s termination, which benefits shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such Benefits Plans (the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 4.02(a) being referred to herein as the “Accrued Rights”).

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean Executive’s:

(i) intentional failure to perform reasonably assigned duties;

(ii) personal dishonesty or willful misconduct in the performance of duties, which causes or threatens to cause material injury to PAE or any of its affiliates;

(iii) breach of fiduciary duties owed by Executive to PAE or any of its affiliates resulting in personal profit to Executive;

(iv) willful violation of any law, rule or regulation in connection with the performance of duties (other than traffic violations or similar offenses); or

(v) any act by Executive involving (a) fraud, (b) any breach by Executive of applicable regulations of competent authorities in relation to trading or dealing with stocks, securities, or investments or (c) any willful or grossly negligent act by the Executive resulting in an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which, in each of cases (a), (b) and (c) above, the Board determines in its reasonable and good faith discretion materially adversely affects PAE or any of its affiliates or Executive’s ability to perform his duties hereunder.

For purposes of this definition, an act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be deemed “willful” if done, or omitted to be done, by Executive intentionally, in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interest of PAE. If PAE desires to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) of Section 4.02(b) and the basis for Cause, by its nature, is capable of being cured, PAE shall first provide Executive with written notice of the applicable event that constitutes the basis for Cause (a “Cause Notice”) within ten days of the Board becoming aware of such event. Such notice shall specifically identify such claimed breach. Executive shall have 15 days following receipt of such Cause Notice (the “Cause Cure Period”) to cure such basis for Cause, and PAE shall be entitled at the end of such Cause Cure Period to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Cause; provided, however, that, if such breach is cured within the Cause Cure Period or if PAE does not terminate Executive’s employment with PAE within ten days after the end of the Cause Cure Period, PAE shall not be entitled to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause based on the event described in the Cause Notice; and provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will not be entitled to the opportunity to cure a particular basis for Cause more than once during any six-month period.

4

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following actions, without Executive’s express prior written approval:

(i) any material reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or Target Bonus opportunity;

(ii) subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan(s), any failure by PAE to continue to provide retirement, fringe and welfare benefits to Executive that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those afforded to senior management employees of PAE;

(iii) any material adverse change in Executive’s duties or responsibilities;

(iv) any relocation of Executive’s principal place of business of 50 miles or more, provided that such relocation also increases Executive’s commute by at least 25 miles;

(v) any delivery to Executive by PAE of a Notice of Non-Renewal; or

(vi) any failure to pay Executive’s Base Salary and other amounts earned by Executive within ten days after the date such compensation is due.

(d) Executive must provide written notice to PAE pursuant to Section 6.05 of this Agreement of Executive’s intent to resign for Good Reason within 45 days of the occurrence of an event described in Section 4.02(c) above (each, a “Good Reason Event”) in order for Executive’s resignation for Good Reason to be effective hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice, PAE shall have 30 days (60 days in the case of the Good Reason Event described in Section 4.02(c)(v) above) (the applicable period, the “Good Reason Cure Period”) to rectify the Good Reason Event. If PAE fails to rectify the Good Reason Event prior to the expiration of the Good Reason Cure Period, then Executive may terminate employment within 10 days following the expiration of the Good Reason Cure Period and such termination will be considered for Good Reason and, in the event Executive’s termination is in respect of the Good Reason Event described in Section 4.02(c)(v) above, such termination will be considered for Good Reason for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding the earlier expiration of the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement.

SECTION 4.03. Termination by PAE Other Than for Cause, Disability or Death; Termination by Executive for Good Reason. If PAE elects to terminate Executive’s employment for any reason other than Cause, Disability (as defined below) or death or if Executive terminates Executive’s employment with PAE for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Rights and, provided that Executive has provided a general release in favor of PAE, PAE Holding, Parent and their subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives in form and substance reasonably acceptable to PAE (the “Release”) and the Release has become effective and irrevocable prior to the 60th day after such termination of employment, Executive shall be entitled to the following:

(a) Cash Payments. (i) PAE shall pay to Executive an amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of Executive’s then-current Base Salary and “Average Bonus” (as defined below), payable in installments through the date that is 18 months after the date of Executive’s termination of employment (the “Severance Period”) at the same times at which and in the same

5

manner in which Executive’s Base Salary would have been payable to Executive had a termination of employment not occurred and (ii) PAE shall provide to Executive, during the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive’s termination of employment occurs, an Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs equal to the Annual Bonus that Executive would have received if his employment had not terminated prior to the end of the fiscal year (e.g., after determining whether applicable performance goals have been achieved determined on a basis consistent with past practice), pro-rated based on a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of days Executive was employed by PAE in the fiscal year in which Executive’s termination occurs and the denominator of which shall equal 365 (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”); provided, however, that, in the case of clause (i), PAE shall (x) commence such payments on the 60th day after termination of Executive’s employment, except that any payments that would have otherwise been paid to Executive following the date of the termination of employment and prior to such 60th day shall be accumulated and paid to Executive in a lump sum on the first payment date following such 60th day, and (y) not continue such payments at any time following either (A) breach of the provisions of Section 5.03 or 5.04 or (B) breach of the provisions of Article V (other than Section 5.03 or 5.04) that (X) is materially damaging to the business or reputation of PAE or any of its affiliates or (Y) occurs after PAE has notified Executive of a prior breach of such Article V (other than Section 5.03 or 5.04). For purposes of this Agreement, “Average Bonus” means the average of all Annual Bonuses paid or payable to Executive in respect of the three fiscal years ended prior to the fiscal year in which the employment of Executive is terminated (or, if Executive was not employed by PAE during each of such fiscal years, such lesser number of fiscal years during which Executive was so employed); provided that for purposes of calculating “Average Bonus”, (i) any pro-rated Annual Bonus awarded to Executive for a fiscal year in which Executive was employed for less than the full fiscal year shall be annualized and (ii) the Annual Bonus for the last of the three fiscal years utilized in this calculation shall be disregarded (and Executive shall be treated as if he were not employed during such fiscal year) if the Annual Bonus for that year (A) has not been paid because Executive was terminated prior to the scheduled date for payment of such Annual Bonus or (B) was paid based on an adverse change to Executive’s Target Annual Bonus.

(b) Medical, Dental and Life Insurance Benefit Continuation. During the Severance Period, Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents (each as defined under the applicable program) shall receive the following benefits: (x) medical and dental insurance coverage at the same benefit levels as provided to active senior management employees of PAE, for which PAE will (A) reimburse Executive during the Severance Period, for the total amount of the monthly medical and dental insurance premiums payable by Executive for continued benefits coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, in excess of the cost Executive paid for such coverage (on a monthly premium basis) immediately prior to such termination of employment and (B) provide such coverage for any remaining portion of the Severance Period at the same cost to Executive as is generally provided to active senior management employees of PAE (or, if it is not possible, or is cost-prohibitive for PAE to provide such coverage for such remaining portion, PAE will pay Executive an additional monthly amount, at the same time as cash severance payments are made pursuant to Section 4.03(a), of cash equal to the premiums PAE would have paid if Executive had remained an active employee, subject to Section 6.13 hereof); provided, however, that if, during the Severance Period, Executive becomes employed by a new employer that provides medical and dental coverage, PAE’s continuing medical and dental coverage (and any cash payments in lieu thereof)

6

shall become secondary to such new employer’s coverage with respect to claims covered by such new employer’s medical and dental plans; and (y) life insurance coverage at the same benefit level as provided to active senior management employees of PAE and at the same cost to Executive as is generally provided to active senior management employees of PAE. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent necessary to satisfy Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or if PAE determines is necessary to avoid the imposition of an excise tax on PAE, PAE will be permitted to alter the manner in which medical and dental benefits are provided to Executive following termination of Executive’s employment; provided that the after-tax cost to Executive of such benefits shall not be greater than the cost applicable to similarly situated executives of PAE who have not terminated employment.

(c) Outplacement. Executive shall receive reasonable outplacement services to be provided by a provider selected by Executive during the Severance Period, the cost of which shall be borne by PAE; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall commence using such services within 12 months of Executive’s termination of employment, such outplacement services shall end not later than the last day of the second calendar year that begins after the date of termination of Executive’s employment and PAE shall pay any amounts in respect of such outplacement services not later than the last day of the third calendar year that begins after such date of termination.

(d) Release. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Release shall not require Executive to release any rights to post-termination payments or benefits afforded to him by this Agreement, or any vested benefits or rights pursuant to the terms of PAE’s or its affiliates’ benefit plans or programs, and (y) if the Release does not become effective and irrevocable within 60 days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment pursuant to this Section 4.03(d), PAE shall not be obligated to make any payments or provide any benefits under Section 4.03(a), (b) or (c) above and Executive shall only be entitled to the Accrued Rights.

SECTION 4.04. Termination for Disability or Death. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death. PAE may terminate Executive’s employment upon the occurrence of Executive’s Disability. In the event of Executive’s termination due to death or Disability, Executive, or Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights, and the Pro-Rata Bonus during the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive’s termination of employment occurs. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean (a) the inability of Executive, due to illness, accident or any other physical or mental incapacity, to perform Executive’s duties in a normal manner for a period of 180 days (whether or not consecutive) in any twelve-month period during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement or (b) Executive being accepted for long-term disability benefits under any long-term disability plan in which he is then participating. The Board shall determine, according to the facts then available, whether and when the Disability of Executive has occurred. Such determination shall not be arbitrary or unreasonable and the Board will take into consideration the expert medical opinion of a physician chosen by PAE, after such physician has completed an examination of Executive. Executive agrees to make himself available for such examination upon the reasonable request of PAE.

Miscellaneous

SECTION 6.01. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Executive. The parties agree that any attempt by Executive to delegate Executive’s duties hereunder shall be null and void.

Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 6.06(b).

(c) Each party in any dispute or legal action arising under this Agreement shall be responsible for bearing its own expenses, attorneys’ fees and other costs in such dispute or legal action.

SECTION 6.07. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provision, covenant or condition shall, as to such jurisdiction, be modified or restricted to the extent necessary to make such provision valid, binding and enforceable, or, if such provision cannot be modified or restricted, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed to be excised from this Agreement and any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability with respect to such provision shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and the remainder of the provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

13

SECTION 6.08. Survival. The rights and obligations of PAE and Executive under the provisions of this Agreement, including Articles V and VI, shall survive and remain binding and enforceable, notwithstanding any termination of Executive’s employment with PAE, to the extent necessary to preserve the intended benefits of such provisions.

SECTION 6.09. Cooperation. Executive shall provide Executive’s reasonable cooperation to PAE in connection with any suit, action or proceeding (or any appeal therefrom) that relates to events occurring during Executive’s employment with PAE or any of its affiliates other than a suit between Executive, on the one hand, and PAE, on the other hand, provided that PAE shall reimburse Executive for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such cooperation.

SECTION 6.10. Executive Representation. Executive hereby represents to PAE that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive and PAE and the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene, or be prevented, interfered with or hindered by, the terms of any employment agreement or other agreement or policy to which Executive is a party or otherwise bound.

SECTION 6.11. No Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived only in writing signed by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. A waiver or any breach or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive a party’s rights hereunder at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.12. Set Off. PAE’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall be subject to set off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to PAE or its affiliates, except as provided in Section 6.14.

SECTION 6.13. Withholding Taxes. PAE may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state, local and foreign taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

SECTION 6.14. Section 409A. (a) It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Code, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.

(b) Neither Executive nor any of his creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable under this Agreement or under any other plan, policy, arrangement or agreement of or with PAE or any of its affiliates (this Agreement and such other plans, policies, arrangements and agreements, the “Company Plans”) to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to Executive or for Executive’s benefit under any Company Plan may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by Executive to PAE or any of its affiliates.

14

(c) If, at the time of Executive’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) Executive shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by PAE from time to time) and (ii) PAE shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable under a Company Plan constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then PAE (or its affiliate, as applicable) shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead accumulate such amount and pay it on the first business day after such six-month period.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Company Plan to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A, PAE reserves the right to make amendments to any Company Plan as PAE deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A. In any case, Executive is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on Executive or for Executive’s account in connection with any Company Plan (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither PAE nor any affiliate shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Executive harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

(e) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment hereunder will be deemed to be a separate payment as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits payable hereunder as a result of Executive’s termination of employment with PAE that constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A unless such termination of employment qualifies as a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (and any related regulations or other pronouncements thereunder),

(f) Except as specifically permitted by Section 409A, any benefits and reimbursements provided to Executive under this Agreement during any calendar year shall not affect any benefits and reimbursements to be provided to Executive under this Agreement in any other calendar year, and the right to such benefits and reimbursements cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit. Furthermore, reimbursement payments shall be made to Executive as soon as practicable following the date that the applicable expense is incurred, but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the underlying expense is incurred.

SECTION 6.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile of PDF), each of which shall be deemed to be an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single instrument. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by PDF, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf the signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or PDF signature were an original thereof.

SECTION 6.16. Construction. (a) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.
