1.4. Location. During the Term of this Agreement, Executive will perform his duties and services in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and Executive agrees to make such business trips to the Company’s other locations as may be reasonable and necessary in the performance of his services hereunder.

2. Compensation and Benefits.

2.1. Salary. In consideration of and as compensation for the services agreed to be performed by Executive hereunder, the Company agrees to pay Executive during the Term of this Agreement a base annual salary (the “Base Salary”) of not less than $650,000 per year, less standard deductions and withholdings, payable bi- monthly in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. The Company will review Executive’s Base Salary and other compensation from time to time during the Term of this Agreement and, at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board, may increase his Base Salary or other compensation from time to time. Any increase in Base Salary or other compensation shall in no way limit or reduce any other obligation of the Company hereunder and, once established at an increased rate, Executive’s Base Salary hereunder shall not be reduced, except in connection with an across the board salary reduction for all executives.

2.2. Incentive Compensation. During the Term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus (“Bonus”) pursuant to the terms of the DynCorp International LLC Executive Incentive Plan (the “Executive Incentive Plan”) or any successor plan.

2.3. Signing Bonus. The Executive shall receive a one-time signing bonus (“Signing Bonus”) in the amount of $350,000 payable on September 30, 2008, provided the Executive continues to be employed by the Company on September 30, 2008.

2.4. Equity. During the Term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the DynCorp International 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“OIP”) or any successor plan. The Executive shall receive a grant of 100,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), subject to the terms and conditions of the OIP. Fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs shall vest with respect to one-third of the award on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 3.1) and with respect to an additional one-third on each of the next two anniversaries of the Commencement Date thereafter, subject to the Executive’s continued employment with the Company.

If the performance goals are not achieved, the Executive shall forfeit his rights in such RSUs. It is the intent of the Company to provide the Executive with annual grants during the Term that are at least equivalent in value to the 100,000 RSUs referred to above; provided, however, that any future grants will be subject to the achievement of performance goals established by the Board or the Committee and the grant of any awards shall be determined by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion; further provided, that nothing contained in this Section 2.4 shall create any obligation on the part of the Company to make any such future grants to the Executive.

5. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Based upon such medical advice or opinion, the determination of the Board shall be final and binding and the date such determination is made shall be the date of such Complete Disability for purposes of this Agreement.

5.2. For Cause. For “Cause” shall mean:

5.2.1. the willful and continued failure by Executive to substantially perform his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness, injury or disability), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to him by the Board that identifies, in reasonable detail, the manner in which the Board believes that Executive has not substantially performed his duties in good faith and the Executive fails to cure, if curable, within 30 days after receipt of such demand.

5.2.2. the willful engaging by Executive in conduct that causes material harm to the Company, monetarily or otherwise;

5.2.3. Executive’s conviction of a felony arising from conduct during the Term of this Agreement; or

5.2.4. Executive’s willful malfeasance or willful misconduct in connection with Executive’s material duties hereunder.

For purposes of this Subsection 5.2 no act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company or its shareholders.

5.3. Good Cause. “Good Cause” shall mean any of the following actions taken by the Company or any subsidiary that employs the Executive; provided that any such events described in this Section 5.3 shall constitute Good Cause only if the Company fails to cure such event within 30 days after receipt from Executive of written notice of the event which constitutes Good Cause:

5.3.1. assignment of the Executive to duties that are materially inconsistent with his status as a senior executive or which represent a substantial diminution of his duties or responsibilities in the Company;

Executive shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard the Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. All such Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean non-public information concerning the Company’s business or operations, plans, strategies, prospects or objectives; its sales, services, support and marketing plans, practices and operations; the prices, costs and details of its services or prospective services; the financial condition and results of its operations; information received from third parties under confidential conditions; the Company’s personnel and compensation policies; and means of gaining access to the Company’s computer data systems and related information. “Confidential Information” shall not include general knowledge based on Executive’s experience in the industry, information generally known in the industry, or information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by the Executive.

7. Additional Payment. In the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or distribution (or combination thereof) by the Company or otherwise for the benefit of Executive (a “Payment”) is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and any successor or comparable provision, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment as set forth in Exhibit B. Such payment shall be made by the end of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Executive remits the related taxes.

This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written agreement that is signed by the Company and Executive. No waiver of any section or provision of this Agreement will be valid unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought. The waiver by the Company of any section or provision of this Agreement shall not apply to any subsequent breach of this Agreement. Captions to the various sections in this Agreement are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but together they shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.7. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and if any part of any provision is held illegal, void, or invalid under applicable law such provision may be changed to the extent reasonably necessary to make the provision, as so changed, legal, valid and binding.

EXHIBIT B

1. In the event it shall be determined that any Payment is subject to an Excise Tax, Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and the Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

2. All determinations required to be made under this Exhibit B, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive; provided that for purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rates applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made and deemed to pay state and local income taxes at the highest effective rates applicable to individuals in the state or locality of Executive’s residence or place of employment in the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes, taking into account limitations applicable to individuals subject to federal income tax at the highest marginal rates. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it shall so indicate to Executive in writing. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive.
