Exhibit 10.1
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2015 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
SERVICE BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT
AWARD AGREEMENT
| 1. | Grant of Award. |
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of «Grant_Date_x» (the “Grant Date”) by and between CSRA Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and «Name_x», a full-time employee of the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries (the “Employee”).
This Agreement granting the Employee an award under the Plan (the “Award”) shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the CSRA Inc. Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and this Agreement. Except as defined in Appendix A, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings ascribed to them under the Plan.
This Award is subject to the data privacy provisions set forth in Appendix B.
Award Granted: «Shares_Granted_x» Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”)
Upon each of the dates indicated below (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the RSUs shall vest with respect to the number indicated below across from such date:
| Number of RSUs Vesting | Date | |
| 1/3 of the RSUs Granted | 1st Anniversary of the Grant Date | |
| 1/3 of the RSUs Granted | 2nd Anniversary of the Grant Date | |
| 1/3 of the RSUs Granted | 3rd Anniversary of the Grant Date |
| 2. | Settlement of RSUs. |
(a) The RSUs shall be settled by the Company delivering to the Employee (or after the Employee’s death, the beneficiary designated by the Employee for such purpose), on the applicable Scheduled Settlement Date, a number of RSU Shares equal to the number of RSUs vesting on such date, together with any related Dividend Equivalents.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the RSUs shall be settled on the applicable Scheduled Settlement Date.
| 3. | Effect of Termination of Employment; Termination due to Reduction in Force or Mutual Agreement; Change in Control; Recoupment and Forfeiture. |
(a) Age 62 or Older Other than for Cause, death or Disability with at least 10 Years of Service; Approved Termination. If, prior to the settlement of the RSUs in full:
(i) the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated at age 62 or older for no reason, or for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability, and the Employee shall have been (or for any other purpose shall have been treated as if he or she had been) a continuous employee of the Company or its subsidiaries for at least 10 years immediately prior to the date of termination of employment status (including for this purpose any continuous service with CSC prior to the Spinoff or with SRA prior to the SRA Merger); or
(ii) the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated at any time during the term of the Award and such termination is due to a Reduction in Force or Mutual Agreement,
then, as soon as practicable after the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries is terminated (the “Employment Termination Date”), the Company shall settle a portion of the remaining unsettled RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents. The portion of the RSUs settled will be determined by multiplying (x) the total number of RSUs granted under this Award by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months of continuous service with the Company or its subsidiaries that the Employee has completed since the Grant Date and the denominator of which is the total number of full months from the Grant Date until the last scheduled Vesting Date under the Award, and then subtracting from the resulting product the total number of RSUs granted under this Award, if any, that have vested and been settled prior to the Employment Termination Date. The portion of the RSUs not settled in accordance with this section any related Dividend Equivalents shall automatically be cancelled as of the close of business on the Employment Termination Date.
(b) Leave of Absence. If, prior to the settlement of the RSUs in full, the Employee is granted a leave of absence (including a military leave of absence), the Employee and the Company each reasonably anticipate that the Employee will return to active employment and either (x) the leave of absence is to be for not more than six months or (y) at all times during the leave of absence the Employee has a statutory or contractual right to return to work, then:
(i) while on leave of absence the Employee shall be treated as if he were an active employee;
(ii) if the Employee’s leave of absence is terminated before the final Vesting Date and the Employee does not timely return to active employment, the date of the end of the leave of absence shall be treated as the date on which the Employee has a termination of employment;
2
(iii) if the Employee’s leave of absence is terminated before the final Vesting Date and the Employee timely returns to active employment, he shall be treated as if active employment had continued uninterrupted during the leave of absence; and
(iv) if a Vesting Date occurs during the Employee’s leave of absence, the applicable number of RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents shall be settled on the related Scheduled Settlement Date.
(c) Death or Disability.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, prior to the settlement in full of the RSUs, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by reason of death of the Employee, then, one calendar month after such death, the Company shall complete the settlement in full of the remaining unsettled RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents.
(ii) If, prior to the settlement in full of the RSUs, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Disability of the Employee, then, one calendar month after the Employment Termination Date, the Company shall complete the settlement in full of the remaining unsettled RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents.
(iii) If settlement is by reason of termination due to death, settlement shall be to the beneficiary designated by the Employee for such purpose.
(d) Cancellation of RSUs upon Other Termination of Employment. If, prior to the settlement in full of the RSUs, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated other than pursuant to Section 3(a), (c) or (e) hereof, then the remaining unsettled RSUs and all related Dividend Equivalents shall automatically be cancelled as of the close of business on the Employment Termination Date.
(e) Change in Control.
(i) If, on or within two (2) years after the date of a Change in Control and prior to when the RSUs have been settled in full, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries due to a Reduction in Force or Mutual Agreement, or the Employee’s death or Disability or pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) above, then any unvested RSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalents) shall automatically vest in full as of the Employment Termination Date and shall be settled on or as soon as administratively practicable (but, subject to Section 18 below, in no event later than 2.5 months) after the Employment Termination Date.
3
(ii) Without limitation of the foregoing, if, at any time following a Change in Control that results from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, General Dynamics Corporation and Red Hawk Enterprises Corp., dated as of February 9, 2018, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from such Change in Control) or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries without Cause, by the Employee for Good Reason, or due to the Employee’s death or Disability, then any unvested RSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalents) shall automatically vest in full as of the Employment Termination Date and shall be settled on or as soon as administratively practicable (but, subject to Section 18 below, in no event later than 2.5 months) after the Employment Termination Date, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 3(e)(i) shall not apply.
(f) Recoupment and Forfeiture. Settlement of all or a portion of the Award pursuant to this Section 3 is subject to the forfeiture provisions of this Section 3. Settlement of all or a portion of the Award is subject to recoupment by the Company pursuant to Section 5.
| 4. | Withholding and Taxes. |
(a) If the Company and/or the Employer are obligated to withhold an amount on account of any federal, state or local tax imposed as a result of the grant or settlement of the RSUs pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”), including, without limitation, any federal, state or other income tax, or any F.I.C.A., state disability insurance tax or other employment tax (the date upon which the Company and/or the Employer becomes so obligated shall be referred to herein as the “Withholding Date”), then the Employee shall pay to the Company on the Withholding Date, the minimum aggregate amount that the Company and the Employer are so obligated to withhold (or such larger amount of taxes that may be permitted to be withheld under applicable accounting guidance without resulting in the classification of the RSUs as a liability award for accounting purposes), as such amount shall be determined by the Company (the “Withholding Liability”), which payment shall be made by the automatic cancellation by the Company of a portion of the RSU Shares; provided that the Company is not then prohibited from purchasing or acquiring such shares of Common Stock (such shares to be valued on the basis of the aggregate Fair Market Value thereof on the Withholding Date, plus the value of the Dividend Equivalents associated with such shares on the Withholding Date); and provided further that the RSU Shares to be cancelled shall be those that would otherwise have been delivered to the Employee the soonest upon settlement of the RSUs; and provided further, however, that the Employee may, on or before the Withholding Date, irrevocably elect to instead pay to the Company, by check or wire transfer delivered or made within one business day after the Withholding Date, an amount equal to or greater than the Withholding Liability.
4

(a) Refund of Stock Value; Forfeiture of RSUs.
(i) Refund of Stock Value. If the Employee breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 5(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) hereof during the Applicable Restrictive Period for any Settlement Date, then, if the RSUs were settled within the one year period prior to the occurrence of such event, the Employee shall immediately deliver to the Company an amount in cash equal to the (i) aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of such Settlement Date, of all RSU Shares which were delivered to the Employee or cancelled in payment of Taxes on such Settlement Date and (ii) Dividend Equivalents paid to the Employee in respect of the RSU Shares.
(ii) Forfeiture of RSUs. If the Employee breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 5(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) hereof prior to a Settlement Date for the RSUs, any remaining unsettled RSUs and all related Dividend Equivalents shall be terminated and forfeited.
(b) Triggering Events. The events referred to in Sections 3(f) and 5(a) hereof are as follows:
(i) Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of Confidential Information.

The Employee agrees to take all reasonable steps and precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure, use, misappropriation, communication, dissemination copying or duplication of Confidential Information and to return all Confidential Information to the Company promptly upon Employee’s termination of employment.
(ii) Non-Solicitation of the Company’s Employees, Clients, and Prospective Clients. During the time of the Employee’s employment and for a period of 24 months thereafter, the Employee shall not, without the express, prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel, engage in any of the conduct described in paragraphs (A) and (B) below, either directly or indirectly, individually or as an employee, agent, contractor, consultant, member, partner, officer, director or stockholder (other than as a stockholder of less than 5% of the equities of a publicly held corporation) or in any other capacity for any person, firm, partnership or corporation:

(c) Waiver of Recoupment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall be released from (i) all of his or her obligations under Section 5(a) hereof in the event that a Change in Control occurs within three years prior to the Employment Termination Date, and (ii) some or all of his or her obligations under Section 5(a) hereof in the event that the Committee (if the Employee is an executive officer of the Company) or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (if the Employee is not an executive officer of the Company) shall determine, in their respective sole discretion, that such release is in the best interests of the Company.
(d) Effect on Other Rights and Remedies. The rights of the Company set forth in this Section 5 shall not limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies which the Company or any of its affiliates may have under law or under any separate employment, confidentiality or other agreement with the Employee or otherwise with respect to the events described in Section 5(b) hereof.

| 17. | Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waivers. |
This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not stated or incorporated by reference herein, shall bind either party hereto. None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or canceled except by a writing, signed by the parties hereto specifying such amendment, modification, waiver or cancellation. A waiver by either party at any time of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be considered a modification, cancellation or consent to a future waiver of such terms and conditions or of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, unless expressly so stated.
| 18. | Section 409A Compliance. |
Payments under this Agreement are designed to be made in a manner that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a “short-term deferral,” and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Company determines that the settlement of an RSU Share pursuant to this Agreement is or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the
9
Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A (“409A Taxes”) as applicable at the time such settlement is otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payment may be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid 409A Taxes. In particular:
(a) if the Employee is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, such settlement shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Employee’s separation from service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A (the “Settlement Delay Period”); and
(b) if all or any part of such RSU Share has been converted into cash pursuant to Section 7 hereof, then:
(i) upon settlement of such RSU Share, such cash shall be increased by an amount equal to interest thereon for the Settlement Delay Period at a rate equal to the default rate credited to amounts deferred under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan; provided, however, that such rate shall be calculated on a monthly average basis rather than a daily basis; and
(ii) the Company shall fund the payment of such cash to the Employee upon settlement of such RSU Share, including the interest to be paid with respect thereto (collectively, the “Delayed Cash Payment”), by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the Employee, but only if the establishment of such trust does not result in any taxes or penalties becoming due under Section 409A(b). Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Employee. The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Employee in order to pay taxes, if any, that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Settlement Delay Period pursuant to this Section 18, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes. The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Delayed Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 18.
| 19. | Section 280G. |
If, after the Grant Date, there occurs a transaction that constitutes a “change of control” for purposes of Section 280G of the Code and, immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control, the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries are an entity whose equity securities are readily tradable on an established securities market (or otherwise), the following provisions will apply:
(a) If any payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company or its affiliates to the Employee or for the Employee’s benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the “Covered Payments”) constitute parachute payments within the
10
meaning of Section 280G of the Code (“Parachute Payments”) and would, but for this Section 19(a), be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then the Covered Payments shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing results in the Employee’s receipt on an after-tax basis of the greatest amount of benefits after taking into account applicable federal, state, local and foreign income, employment and excise taxes (including the Excise Tax). If required to be reduced pursuant to the foregoing to the extent permitted under Code Sections 280G, 409A and 4999, the Employee may elect the order of reduction. If the foregoing is not permitted, the reduction shall be in such manner that maximizes the amount to be received by the Employee with any cash payments being reduced first starting with the last payment due, next shares not subject to Q + A 24(c) of Treas. Reg. 1-280G (“24(c)”) starting with the last vesting share, then options subject to 24(c) starting with the last vesting option, and then shares and options subject to 24(c) in a manner that maximizes what is received by the Employee. If the Covered Payments are paid in full, the Employee will be solely responsible for the payment of any Excise Tax and the Company will have no further obligations with respect thereto.
(b) Any determinations required under this Section 19 shall be made in writing by an accounting firm selected and paid for by the Company. The accountant shall deliver to the Company and the Employee an opinion that can be utilized for filing of tax returns, and including valuation of the non-compete that applies to the Employee. The Employee shall provide the Company with such information and documents as he or she may have as the Company may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 19.
