ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General Information
DynCorp and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) provides diversified
management, technical and professional services primarily to U.S. Government
customers throughout the United States and internationally. The Company
provides services to various branches of the Department of Defense, Energy,
State, Justice, and Agriculture, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the National
Institute of Health, the Defense Information Systems Agency, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration and various other U.S., state and local
government agencies, commercial clients and foreign governments. Generally,
these services are provided under both prime contracts and subcontracts, which
may be fixed-price, time-and-material or cost-type contracts depending on the
work requirements and other individual circumstances. These services encompass
a wide range of management, technical and professional services covering the
following areas:
DynCorp Information and Enterprise Technology (“DI&ET”), based in Reston,
Virginia, designs, develops, supports and integrates software and
hardware systems to provide customers with comprehensive solutions for
information management and engineering needs. DI&ET provides a wide range
of information technology solutions including information technology
(“IT”) lifecycle support, electronic records and media management,
network and communications engineering, seat management, metrology
engineering, operational outsourcing, healthcare information and
technology services and security and intelligence programs. Revenues for
fiscal years ended 1999, 1998, and 1997 were $635.9 million, $633.1
million, and $553.3 million, respectively.
DynCorp Technical Services (“DTS”), based in Fort Worth, Texas, delivers
a myriad of specialized technical services including aviation services,
base operations, range technical services, contingency services,
international program, space and re-entry system services, logistics
support services, personal and physical security services and marine
services. These services are provided to the U.S. Government as well as
the United Nations and other foreign organizations at various locations
throughout the world depending on the customer’s requirements. Revenues
for 1999, 1998, and 1997 were $695.5 million, $600.6 million, and $592.6
million, respectively.
DynCorp Information Systems LLC (“DIS”), based in Chantilly, Virginia,
provides a broad range of integrated telecommunications services and
information technology solutions in the areas of professional services,
business systems integration, information infrastructure solutions and IT
operations and support. DIS is DynCorp’s full-service voice/data
integrator and has an established business base in the Federal defense
and civil markets. DIS was acquired on December 10, 1999 from GTE
Corporation. Revenue for the twenty days ended December 30, 1999, was
$13.9 million and was included in the Company’s consolidated results of
operations. Full year revenues, which are not included in the Company’s
results of operations except for the portion representing the twenty days
ended December 30, 1999, as noted above, were $221.6 million, $233.6
million, and $209.4 million, for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Industry Segments
For business segment reporting, DI&ET, DTS and DIS each constitute reportable
business segments.
Backlog
The Company’s backlog of business, which includes awards under both prime
contracts and subcontracts, as well as the estimated value of option years on
government contracts, was $4.4 billion at December 30, 1999, compared to
December 31, 1998 backlog of $4.1 billion, a net increase of $0.3 billion. The
increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of GTE Information Systems LLC.
The backlog at December 30, 1999 consisted of $2.2 billion for DTS, $1.7 billion
for DI&ET, and $0.5 billion for DIS compared to December 31, 1998 backlog of
$2.0 billion for DTS and $2.1 billion for DI&ET. Of the total backlog at
December 30, 1999, $3.0 billion is expected to produce revenues after 2000: DTS
$1.5 billion, DI&ET $1.2 billion, and DIS $0.3 billion.
Contracts with the U.S. Government are generally written for periods of three to
five years with a few Federal contracts awarded with options up to eight and ten
years. Because of appropriation limitations in the Federal budget process, firm
funding is usually made for only one year at a time, and, in some cases, for
periods of less than one year, with the remainder of the years under the
contract expressed as a series of one-year options. The Company’s experience has
been that the Government generally exercises these options. Amounts included in
backlog are based on the contract’s total awarded value and the Company’s
estimates regarding the amount of the award that will ultimately result in the
recognition of revenue. These estimates are based on the Company’s experience
with similar awards and similar customers. Estimates are reviewed periodically
and appropriate adjustments are made to the amounts included in backlog and in
unexercised contract options. Historically, these adjustments have not been
significant. In 1999, 98.9% of the Company’s prime contract revenue was from the
U.S. Government, 54.1% attributable to the Department of Defense.
During 1998, the Company was awarded significant indefinite delivery, indefinite
quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts with GSA and NASA to provide comprehensive desktop
computer, server and intra-center communication support. These contracts were
multiple awards and have estimated values in the billions of dollars. The
Company’s backlog at December 30, 1999 does not include any value for these
contracts, except for one contract under GSA, because the Company has not
received any contract tasks and cannot reasonably estimate the future revenues
from these contracts.
Competition
The markets that the Company services are highly competitive. In each of its
business areas, the Company’s competition is quite fragmented, with no single
competitor holding a significant market position. The Company experiences
vigorous competition from industrial firms, university laboratories, non-profit
institutions, and U.S. Government agencies. Many of the Company’s competitors
are large, diversified firms with substantially greater financial resources and
larger technical staffs than the Company has available. Government agencies also
compete with and are potential competitors of the Company because they can
utilize their internal resources to perform certain types of services that might
otherwise be performed by the Company. A majority of the Company’s revenues is
derived from contracts with the U.S. Government and its prime contractors, and
such contracts are awarded on the basis of negotiations or competitive bids
where price is a significant factor.
Foreign Operations
The Company currently provides services in foreign countries under contracts
with the U.S. Government, the United Nations, and other foreign customers. None
of these foreign operations is material to the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
The risks associated with the Company’s foreign operations relating to foreign
currency fluctuation and political and economic conditions in foreign countries
have not been significant.
Incorporation
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1946. With more than 19,000
employees worldwide, the Company is one of the largest employee-owned companies
in the United States.
Employees
At December 30, 1999, the Company employed 17,713 full-time and 1,554 part-time
employees. Approximately 3,163 employees were located outside of the United
States. Of the Company’s U.S. employees, 3,671 were covered by various
collective bargaining agreements with labor unions.
At year-end, the Company had approximately 497 vacant positions, a majority of
which was for IT professionals. The scarcity of IT professionals is a common
predicament within the industry. The Company is actively recruiting to fill
these vacancies utilizing extensive advertising, participation in job fairs,
sign-on bonuses, and other recruitment incentives.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed or incorporated by reference in this report are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be
no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the Company’s current expectations
include the early termination of, or failure of a customer to exercise option
periods under, a significant contract; the inability of the Company to generate
actual customer orders under indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts;
technological change; the inability of the Company to manage its growth or to
execute its internal performance plan; the inability of the Company to integrate
the operations of acquisitions; the inability of the Company to attract and
retain the technical and other personnel required to perform its various
contracts; general economic conditions; and other risks discussed elsewhere in
this report and in other filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company is primarily a service-oriented company and, as such, the ownership
or leasing of real property is an activity that is not material to an
understanding of the Company’s operations. The Company leases numerous
commercial facilities used in connection with the various services rendered to
its customers. None of the properties is unique. In the opinion of management,
the facilities employed by the Company are adequate for the present needs of the
business.
On February 29, 2000, the Company sold an office building located in Alexandria,
Virginia to a third party for $10.5 million, and simultaneously closed on a
lease of that property from the new owner. The Company used a portion of the net
proceeds to payoff the mortgage on the property.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
This item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 20 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 1999.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
DynCorp’s common stock is not publicly traded. However, the Company has
established an Internal Market to provide liquidity for its stockholders.
Shares available for trading in the Internal Market are registered under the
Securities Act of 1933. The Internal Market generally permits stockholders to
sell shares of common stock which have been registered for such sale on four
predetermined days each year, subject to purchase demand.
Sales of common stock on the Internal Market are made at established prices for
the common stock determined pursuant to the formula and valuation process
described below (the “Formula Price”) to active employees and directors of the
Company, subject to state securities regulations, and to the trustees of the
Savings and Retirement Plan (“SARP”) and the Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(“ESOP”), as well as the administrator of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(“ESPP”), who may purchase shares of common stock for their respective trusts
and plans.
If the aggregate purchase orders exceed the number of shares available for
sale, the Company may, but is not obligated to, sell shares of common stock on
the Internal Market. Further, the following prospective purchasers will have
priority, in the order listed:
– the administrator of the ESPP;
– the trustee of the SARP;
– eligible employees and directors, on a pro rata basis; and
– the trustees of the ESOP.
If the aggregate number of shares offered for sale on the Internal Market is
greater than the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased, offers by
stockholders to sell 500 shares or less, or up to the first 500 shares if more
than 500 shares are offered, will be accepted first. If, however, there are
insufficient purchase orders to support the primary allocation of 500 shares,
then the purchase orders will be allocated equally among all of the proposed
sellers up to the first 500 shares offered for sale by each seller. Thereafter,
a similar procedure will be applied to the next 10,000 shares offered by each
remaining seller, and offers to sell in excess of 10,500 shares will then be
accepted on a pro-rata basis. The Company may, but is not required to, purchase
shares offered for sale in the Internal Market, to the extent the number of
shares offered exceeds the number sought to be purchased. All sellers on the
Internal Market (other than the Company and its retirement plans) will pay a
commission equal to one percent of the proceeds from such sales. Purchasers on
the Internal Market pay no commission.
The market price of the common stock is established pursuant to the valuation
process described below, which uses the formula set forth below to determine
the Formula Price at which the Common Stock trades in the Internal Market. The
Formula Price is reviewed on a quarterly basis, generally in conjunction with
Internal Market trade dates.
The Formula Price per share of common stock is the product of seven times the
operating cash flow (“CF”), where operating cash flow is represented by
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the Company
for the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the date on which a price
revision is made, multiplied by a market factor (“Market Factor” denoted MF)
plus the non-operating assets at disposition value (net of disposition costs)
(“NOA”), minus the sum of interest bearing debt adjusted to market and other
outstanding securities senior to common stock (“IBD”), the whole divided by the
number of shares of common stock outstanding at the date on which a price
revision is made, on a fully diluted basis assuming exercise of all outstanding
options and shares deferred under a former restricted stock plan (“ESO”). The
Market Factor is a numeric factor which reflects existing securities market
conditions relevant to the valuation of such stock. The Formula Price of the
common stock, expressed as an equation, is as follows:
[(CFx7)MF+NOA-IBD]
——————
Formula Price = ESO
The Board of Directors believes that the valuation process and Formula result
in a fair price for the common stock within a broad range of financial
criteria. Other than quarterly review and possible modification of the Market
Factor, the Board of Directors will not change the Formula unless (i) in the
good faith exercise of its fiduciary duties and after consultation with its
professional advisors, the Board of Directors determines that the formula no
longer results in a stock price which reasonably reflects the value of the
Company on a per share basis, or (ii) a change in the Formula or the method of
valuing the common stock is required under applicable law.
The following table sets forth the Formula Price for the common stock and the
Market Factor by quarter since the adoption of the Formula by the Board of
Directors in August 1995.

September 30, 1999 24.00 1.08
December 30, 1999 23.50 1.11
The price at December 30, 1999 is based on third quarter data and has not been
revised to reflect the current valuation. The ESOP valuation price was $22.75.
Prior to August 1995, the market value of the common stock was established
periodically by the Board of Directors for purposes of repurchases under a
former stockholders agreement. Based on the Board’s review of valuations set by
the ESOP Trust, the price per share by quarter was as follows:
March 30, 1995 $14.90
June 29, 1995 $14.90
September 28, 1995 $14.90
There were approximately 722 record holders of DynCorp common stock at December
30, 1999. The DynCorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust owns 7,451,989 shares
on behalf of approximately 33,000 current and former employees of the Company.
In addition, the Company’s Savings and Retirement Plan holds 763,758 shares.
Cash dividends have not been paid on the common stock since 1988.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following table presents summary selected historical financial data derived
from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for each of
the five years presented. During these periods, the Company paid no cash
dividends on its Common Stock. The following information should be read in
conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and
related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data.) Reference to “note” are the

(h) EBITDA as defined by management consists of earnings from continuing
operations before extraordinary item and before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA represents a measure of the Company’s
ability to generate cash flow and does not represent net income or cash
flow from operating, investing and financing activities as defined by
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA is not a measure
of performance or financial condition under GAAP, but is presented to
provide additional information about the Company to the reader. EBITDA
should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or
superior to, measures of financial performance reported in accordance with
GAAP. EBITDA has been adjusted for the amortization of deferred debt
expense and debt issuance discount which are included in “interest expense”
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and included in “depreciation
and amortization” in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Amortization of deferred debt expense was $1,211 in 1999, $721 in 1998,
$706 in 1997, $829 in 1996, and $743 in 1995. Amortization of debt issuance
discount was $39 in 1999, $36 in 1998 and $26 in 1997.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
General
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of DynCorp and
subsidiaries’ (collectively, the Company) consolidated results of operations and
financial condition for the fiscal years ended 1999, 1998, and 1997. The
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes.
Overview
The Company provides diversified management, technical, and professional
services primarily to U.S. Government customers throughout the United States and
internationally. The Company’s customers include various branches of the
Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, NASA, the Department of
State, the Department of Justice, and various other U.S., state and local
government agencies, commercial clients and foreign governments.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company realigned its three Strategic Business
Segments into two focused sectors. The Company’s Information and Engineering
Technology Unit and most of its Enterprise Management Unit were combined to
become DynCorp Information and Enterprise Technology (“DI&ET”). Aerospace
Technology and the remaining parts of Enterprise Management were combined to
become DynCorp Technical Services (“DTS”). The purpose of this realignment was
to provide focus and clarity to the Company’s businesses and enable the Company
to better serve its customers by concentrating technical services and
information technology competencies in individual single business unit
structures. Business segment information for 1998 and 1997 has been restated to
give effect to this change.
On December 10, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of GTE Information
Systems LLC, a subsidiary of GTE Corporation. On December 13, 1999, the name of
the Company was changed to DynCorp Information Systems LLC (“DIS”). It will
operate as a separate subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase; accordingly, operating results for DIS have been included
from the date of acquisition.
Revenue and Operating Profit
In 1999, revenue increased by $111.6 million, or 9.0%, from 1998 compared to a
$87.8 million, or 7.7% increase in 1998 revenue over 1997. Operating profit,
defined as the excess of revenues over operating expenses and certain
nonoperating expenses, increased by $5.4 million, or 9.4%, from 1998 compared to
a $9.1 million, or 18.7% increase in 1998 operating profit from 1997. The
operating profit was $63.1 million, $57.7 million, and $48.6 million in 1999,
1998, and 1997, respectively.
DTS revenue and operating profit showed continued growth for the twelve months
ended December 30, 1999. Revenues were $695.5 million in 1999 compared to $600.6
million in 1998, an increase of $94.9 million or 15.8%. Operating profit
increased by $5.0 million to $31.5 million, or 18.8%, from $26.5 million in
1998. The DTS business unit had increased tasking on State Department contracts
providing support services to Kosovo and East Timor, increased services on a
contract in support of the government’s drug eradication program, and increased
services in Qatar. The increase in both revenue and operating profit resulted
in part from a contract for the providing of technical and support services to
the United States Air Force at Columbus AFB. The 1999 revenue includes a full
year’s revenue from this contract, which became operational in the fourth
quarter of 1998. Also contributing to the increase in revenue were increases in
the purchase of reimbursable materials for the customer at Fort Rucker. Slightly
offsetting these revenue increases were lower revenues on certain base
operations support contracts.
The DTS business unit increased backlog by 10.0% over 1998 to $2.2 billion at
December 30, 1999, primarily due to expansion of several contracts, including
the aforementioned State Department contracts, and the winning of several
contracts in recompetition. Management believes the DTS business area will
continue to grow in 2000. However, the nature of the procurement process and
the volume of the Company’s business, portions of which are subject to
recompetition annually, can have a dramatic impact on revenues and operating
profit. Additionally, the U.S. Government has the right to terminate contracts
for convenience or may reduce the volume of services ordered.
DTS revenues increased 1.4% to $600.6 million in 1998 as compared to $592.6
million in 1997. Operating profit increased by 15.3% from $23.0 million in 1997
to $26.5 million in 1998. The increase in both revenues and operating profit was
attributable to new contract wins and growth in several existing contracts. The
DTS business unit was awarded a new contract with the United Nations to provide
support services in Angola, new Department of State contracts providing
protective services in Kosovo, Bosnia, and Haiti, and a contract with Kuwait
providing repair and maintenance on military aircrafts. A new contract, which
became operational in the fourth quarter, for the providing of technical and
support services to the United States Air Force at Columbus AFB, and the
addition of the operations of two more ships in the marine services area,
contributed to DTS’s growth in 1998 revenues. Increased services on existing
contracts and the development and installation of a new information system at
Fort Rucker also contributed to the twelve months revenue increase. Partially
offsetting these increases in revenues were reduced business volumes due to
several contract completions.
DI&ET revenues were $635.9 million in 1999, a 0.4% increase over 1998 revenues
of $633.1 million. The revenue increase was due in part to the start-up of a
contract with the U.S. Postal Service, which was awarded in 1998, but became
operational in 1999, and a sub-contract from the Department of Commerce Census
Cenus 2000 that was also awarded in 1998 but became operational in 1999. DI&ET
health information technology services’ revenues increased due to a full year
impact of FMAS, a medical outcome measurement and data abstraction services
company acquired in 1998, and growth in a joint venture for vaccine technology
services to the Department of Defense. Also contributing to the revenue
increases were higher volumes of state and local contract business, increased
tasking on several indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts,
and new business with the customer at the Norco location. Partially offsetting
these increases in revenue was the loss in recompetition of significant portions
of the work scope of an enterprise contract at the Department of Energy Rocky
Flats location. In the twelve months of 1998, Rocky Flats’ revenue was $71.0
million.
DI&ET’s operating profit decreased slightly to $30.6 million from $31.1 million
in 1998, a 1.8% decrease. The operating profit decrease resulted from losses on
two state government contracts, a write-off associated with a vaccine lab
business that was divested during 1999, and the loss of a contract at the DOE
Rocky Flats location. Rocky Flats operating profit for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998 was $4.3 million. Partially offsetting these decreases in
operating profit were increases due to the start-up of the contracts with the
U.S. Postal Service and the sub-contract from the Department of Commerce Census
2000, the higher volumes in health information technology services, and improved
profitability on previously awarded IDIQ contracts. Also offsetting the
decreases in DI&ET’s operating profit was the receipt of an award fee on a
contract that was greater than accrued (expected), and operating profits on
contracts in 1999 which reflected losses in 1998.
DI&ET’s revenues were $633.1 million in 1998, a 14.4% increase over 1997
revenues of $553.3 million. Operating profit increased $5.6 million, or 21.7% to
$31.1 million from $25.6 million in 1997. The increases in revenues and
operating profit were attributable to new IDIQ contract tasks and sole source
contracts with the Department of Defense, Environmental Protection Agency, and
the Health Care Finance Administration. Increased volume on a subcontract to the
U. S. Postal Service, new state contract business, and increased tasking and
level of effort on several existing contracts also contributed to DI&ET’s
revenue and operating profit increases.
Management believes DI&ET’s revenues will continue to show small growth in 2000.
However, much of the growth will be dependent upon DI&ET’s success in servicing
new orders under its IDIQ contracts. Additionally, the U.S. Government has the
right to terminate contracts for convenience or may reduce the volume of
services ordered.
DIS, which was acquired on December 10, 1999, from GTE Corporation, had revenue
of $13.9 million in the twenty-day period ended December 30, 1999. Managemenent
expects the revenue for 2000 to be greater than the prior year revenue. However,
there are no assurances because the nature of the procurement process and the
volume of the business, which is subject to recompetition annually, can have
a dramatic impact on revenues and operating profit. Additionally, the U.S.
Government has the right to terminate contracts for convenience or may reduce
the volume of services ordered.
Corporate General and Administrative
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased in 1999 by $3.1 million,
or 16.7%, over 1998, to $21.7 million as compared to $18.6 million and $17.8
million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Corporate general and administrative
expense as a percentage of revenue was 1.6% in 1999, 1.5% in 1998, and 1.6% in
1997. The higher expense in 1999 was primarily the result of the Company’s
deployment of new financial and human resource software packages. The software
design and development stage of the project has been completed, and related
costs have been capitalized as intangible assets, as discussed below under Year
2000. $4.4 million of expenses for the resystemization effort and expenses
incurred related to potential acquisitions were offset by the $2.0 million
reversal of reserves for old contract compliance issues, which were settled in
the Company’s favor during 1999. The comprehensive resystemization effort is
projected to add approximately $4.2 million to corporate general and
administrative expense in 2000.
The increase in corporate general and administrative expense in 1998 compared to
1997 resulted from the resystemization effort, which added $2.2 million to
corporate general and administrative expense. This expense and increases in
other expenses were offset by the $2.5 million reversal of reserves for old
contract compliance issues, which were settled in the Company’s favor during
1998.
Interest Expense and Interest Income
Interest expense for 1999 was $18.9 million as compared to $14.1 million
reported for 1998. The increase in interest expense was attributable to higher
average debt levels throughout 1999, $0.5 million interest expense associated
with settlement of a subcontractor suit from a former electrical contracting
subsidiary, and a $0.7 million interest expense refund received from the
Internal Revenue Service in 1998. The refund, received in 1998, decreased 1998
interest expense and therefore increases the change in 1999 expense compared to
1998. The weighted annual levels of borrowing were approximately $203.8 million
in 1999 compared to $163.1 million in 1998. The weighted annual level of
indebtedness increased due to borrowings used to fund the acquisition of DIS and
borrowings used to fund working capital requirements (see working capital and
cash flow discussion). Management expects interest expense to increase in 2000
due to a higher level of indebtedness resulting from additional borrowings of
approximately $167.5 million at the end of 1999 for the acquisition of DIS.
Interest expense was $14.1 million in 1998, up from $12.4 million in 1997. The
increase was due to the greater level of outstanding indebtedness throughout
1998. The average level of outstanding indebtedness was $163.0 million in 1998,
as compared to $150.9 million in 1997. Levels of indebtedness increased due to
the FMAS acquisition, payments to settle the Fuller-Austin bankruptcy, and
increased capital required for growth in the Company’s business (see working
capital and cash flow discussion). Offsetting the increase in interest expense
attributable to the greater level of outstanding indebtedness was a refund of
$0.7 million of interest assessed in prior years by the Internal Revenue Service
on the Company’s Federal income taxes.
Interest income was $1.4 million, $1.6 million, and $2.0 million in 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively. The fluctuations are primarily attributable to the
balance of cash and short-term investments throughout any given year and the
average rates of interest. The twelve-month weighted average balance of cash and
short-term investments was $19.8 million in 1999, $10.9 million in 1998, and
$25.0 million in 1997.
Other Expense
Other expense increased by $7.9 million to $10.5 million in 1999 compared to
$2.7 million and $10.3 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The higher
expense in 1999 resulted from expenses of $1.7 million for the settlement of a
suit with a former electrical subcontractor, write-off of $1.2 million of cost
in excess of net assets acquired for a business that was divested in February,
2000, in-process R&D write-off of $6.4 million associated with the acquisition
of DIS, and higher amortization of intangible assets also associated with the
acquisition of DIS. The lower expense in 1998 resulted from the absence of
charges such as that incurred in 1997. In 1997 the Company increased reserves by
$7.8 million for asbestos litigation resulting from a subsidiary’s agreement in
principle to settle globally approximately 11,000 pending asbestos personal
injury claims and unknown future claims pursuant to Section 524(g) of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code and a related contingent settlement agreement between the
Company and the subsidiary for the release of the Company from any subsidiary
asbestos liability (see Notes 13 and 20(a) to the Consolidated Financial
Statements and the discussion of “Liquidity and Capital Resources” which
follows).
The Company anticipates that other expense will increase in 2000 due to higher
goodwill and other intangible amortization expense resulting from the
acquisition of DIS.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based on reported earnings, adjusted to
reflect the impact of permanent differences between the book value of assets and
liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts
recognized for tax purposes. In 1999, the Company reversed state income taxes
provided in prior years related to the favorable resolution of state tax audit
issues. In 1998, the Company reversed foreign taxes provided in prior years due
to their expected utilization as foreign tax credits. Additionally, $2.5 million
of tax valuation reserves were reversed in 1997. Based on current projections,
management estimates tax payments, net of tax refunds, of $13.7 million in 2000.
No valuation allowance for deferred federal tax assets was deemed necessary at
December 30, 1999. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for deferred
state tax assets of $4.8 million at December 30, 1999 due to the uncertainty of
achieving future earnings in either the time frame or in the particular state
jurisdiction needed to realize the tax benefit.
Extraordinary Item
In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company recorded an extraordinary item
totaling $1.6 million (gross extraordinary item of $2.5 million net of income
tax benefit of $0.9 million). The charge was recorded in connection with the
early extinguishment of secured indebtedness due to refinancing of the Company’s
debt in order to complete the acquisition of DIS.
Working Capital and Cash Flows
Working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $165.2
million at December 30, 1999 compared to $90.7 million at December 31, 1998, an
increase of $74.5 million. This increase is primarily the result of an increase
in accounts receivable, attributable to the acquisition of DIS, increased
revenues as discussed above, and slow collections on several contracts due to
start-up of new contracts. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities at
December 30, 1999 was 1.7 compared to 1.5 at December 31, 1998. The increase
resulted from the higher accounts receivable balance at December 30, 1999
compared to December 31, 1998.
For the year ended December 30, 1999, the Company’s cash flow from operations
was $13.8 million, increasing $6.1 million from $7.8 million cash used in
operations in 1998. The increase in cash flow from operations was primarily
attributable to the absence in 1999 of payments related to the settlement of the
Fuller-Austin bankruptcy and from the absence of an increase in accounts
receivable similar to that of 1998, which was caused by increased revenues and
start-up of new contracts. In 1998 the cash used by operations resulted mostly
from increases in accounts receivable due to increased revenues and start-up of
new contracts. Also contributing to the increase in cash used by operations was
the settlement of the Fuller-Austin bankruptcy, which used $8.5 million. In
1997, cash provided by operations was $9.9 million. The cash provided by
operations was attributable to higher costs and expenses that did not use cash
in 1997 such as reserves established for the Fuller-Austin settlement.
Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 30, 1999 totaled
$185.0 million and included acquisition costs of $167.5 million and capital
expenditures of $19.8 million. Acquisition costs related to the acquisition of
DIS on December 10, 1999. Capital expenditures included $13.9 million for the
purchase of property and equipment and $5.9 million for new software for
internal use as part of the Company’s Year 2000 plan. The Company has
capitalized a total of $11.7 million of costs related to internal use software
on its December 30, 1999 balance sheet. Investing activities used funds of $20.1
million in 1998, principally for the acquisition of FMAS $10.2 million, the
purchase of property and equipment $4.8 million, and the purchase of new
software for internal use as part of the Company’s Year 2000 plan $5.6 million.
In 1997, investing activities used funds of $8.3 million, attributable to the
purchase of property and equipment $5.1 million, and the remainder of the cash
used was mostly for funding of the Company’s 47% interest in a minority owned
company, and a loan to the same company.
In 1999, financing activities provided funds of $172.7 million. The Company
borrowed $223.8 million under a Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Of the total
borrowings under the credit agreement, $125.0 million was used for partial
payment of the purchase price for DIS. The balance of the borrowings was used to
make an optional redemption of the Company’s outstanding 7.486% Fixed Rate
Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes, Series 1997-1 (“the Notes”), Class A,
to reduce irrevocably the Company’s Floating Rate Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes, Series 1997-1, Class B and to pay transactional expenses
and for general corporate operating purposes. The Company issued $40.0 million
face value of its subordinated pay-in kind notes for $33.9 million and issued
426,217 shares of the Company’s stock for $6.1 million. The proceeds were used
for payment of the balance of the purchase price for DIS.
Financing activities provided funds of $7.4 million in 1998. The proceeds from
the draw on the Class B Notes were used to fund working capital needs. In 1997,
financing activities utilized funds of $3.0 million. The proceeds from the
issuance of the 9 1/2% Senior Notes and the 7.486% Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes were used to retire the maturing 8.54% Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes, to make a loan to the ESOP to fund the purchase of the
Class C Preferred Stock, to fund the Company’s purchase of common stock and
warrants from certain investors, and to pay transaction fees associated with the
placement of the Senior Notes and amendments to the terms of the Company’s
revolving line of credit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary source of cash and cash equivalents is from operations and
financing activities. The Company’s principal customer is the U.S. Government.
This provides for a dependable flow of cash from the collection of accounts
receivable. Additionally, many of the contracts with the U.S. Government provide
for progress billings based on costs incurred. These progress billings reduce
the amount of cash that would otherwise be required during the performance of
these contracts.
As of December 30, 1999 the Company’s total debt was $343.2 million, an increase
of $182.9 million from December 31, 1998, primarily due to borrowing of $167.5
million used to fund the acquisition of GTE Information Systems, LLC.
On December 10, 1999, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Agreement
with a group of financial institutions. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company
borrowed $100.0 million under Term A loans maturing December 9, 2004, $100.0
million under Term B loans maturing December 9, 2006, and $23.8 million under a
$90.0 million revolving line of credit. Upon the closing of the Credit
Agreement, the Company terminated its previous revolving line of credit
facility.
The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictions on the ability of the
Company to undertake certain activities, such as the incurrance of additional
debt, the payment of dividends on or the repurchase of the Company’s common
stock, the merger of the Company into another company, the sale of substantially
all the Company’s assets, and the acquisition of the stock or substantially all
the assets of another company. The Credit Agreement also stipulates that the
Company must maintain certain financial ratios, including specified ratios of
earnings to fixed charges, debt to earnings, and accounts receivable to
borrowings under the Credit Agreement. At December 30, 1999, the Company was in
compliance with these covenants.
The Term A Loans are to be repaid in sixteen quarterly installments of $6.3
million beginning in February 2001. The Term B Loans are to be repaid in twenty
quarterly installments of $0.3 million starting in February 2000 and then eight
quarterly installments of $11.9 million beginning in February 2005. At the
option of the Company, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at
either LIBOR or a base rate established by the bank, plus a margin that varies
based upon the Company’s ratio of debt to earnings.
The Company is charged a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on unused commitments
under the revolving line of credit. At December 30, 1999, $7.0 million was
outstanding under the line of credit and $75.6 million additional was available.
On December 10, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with various
financial institutions for the sale of $40.0 million face value of the Company’s
subordinated pay-in-kind notes due 2007, with an estimated fair value of $33.9
million (Senior Subordinated Notes), and for the sale of 426,217 shares of the
Company’s stock with an estimated fair value of $6.1 million (see Note 7). The
Subordinated Notes bear interest at 15.0% per annum, payable semi-annually
in-kind. The Company may, at its option, prior to December 15, 2004, pay the
interest in cash or in additional Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes are
redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on or after
December 15, 2000 at a redemption price that ranges from 114.0% in 2000 to
100.0% in 2006 and thereafter. The Subordinated Notes are general unsecured
obligations of the Company and will be subordinated in right of payment to all
existing and future senior debt of the Company and to the Senior Notes.
At December 31, 1998, $87.9 million of accounts receivable were restricted as
collateral for the 7.486% Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes. At December
31, 1998, $1.5 million of cash was restricted as collateral for the Notes and
has been included in Other Assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance
Sheet. The notes were paid off on December 10, 1999.
The Company had a $15.0 million line of credit that it utilized through December
9, 1999, never exceeding $8.9 million in borrowings at any given point in time.
As noted above, on December 10, 1999, the Company terminated this revolving line
of credit facility.
The Company has embarked on a comprehensive resystemization effort (see “Year
2000”) and had expenditures in 1999 of $10.4 million, of which $6.0 million was
capitalized and $4.4 million was expensed. The Company is projecting
expenditures in 2000 of $4.2 million. The resystemization will necessitate
replacing some of the Company’s desktop workstations over the next year, at a
cost of approximately $4.0 million.
The Board of Directors has issued an enabling resolution that provides for the
repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price not
to exceed the current market price, subject to all applicable financial
covenants. Management continuously reviews alternative uses of excess cash and
debt capacity for purposes of acquisitions, dividends, repurchase of shares and
other financial matters.
The Company anticipates contributing approximately $14.1 million in cash to the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) in 2000. The amount of the Company’s
annual contribution to the ESOP is determined by and within the discretion of
the Board of Directors and may be in the form of cash, common stock, or other
qualifying securities. In accordance with ERISA requirements and the ESOP
documents, in the event that an employee participating in the ESOP is
terminated, retires, dies, or becomes disabled while employed by the Company,
the ESOP Trust or the Company is obligated to repurchase shares of common stock
distributed to such former employee under the ESOP (“ESOP Participant Puts”),
until such time as the common stock becomes “readily tradable stock,” as defined
in the ESOP plan document. (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
To the extent the ESOP Participant Puts, debt service, administrative expenses,
and interest expense exceed the Company’s 2000 contribution, the Company would
fund the ESOP Participant Puts. The Company projects these payments to be less
than $2.0 million in 2000.
On February 29, 2000, the Company sold an office building located in Alexandria,
Virginia to a third party for $10.5 million, and simultaneously closed on a
lease of that property from the new owner. The Company used a portion of the net
proceeds to payoff the mortgage on the property. The Company anticipates selling
other non-strategic assets from time to time in the future.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Technology Applications, Inc. in November
1993, the Company issued put options on 125,714 shares of its common stock. On
January 12, 1999, the former owner of Technology Applications, Inc. exercised
the put option on the 125,714 shares at a price of $24.25 per share. The
Company’s repurchase of this common stock required cash of $3.0 million.
On December 10, 1998, pursuant to the terms of a Global Settlement Agreement
among the Company, its wholly owned inactive subsidiary, Fuller-Austin
Insulation Company (“Fuller-Austin”), a committee representing various asbestos
claimants, and the legal representative of unknown future asbestos claimants,
the Company transferred and conveyed all of its interests in Fuller-Austin to an
unrelated independent bankruptcy settlement trust (“Trust”) established in
accordance with Section 524(g) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Trust was
established pursuant to a Confirmation Order entered jointly on November 13,
1998 by the United States District and Bankruptcy Courts in Wilmington,
Delaware. The Trust is part of a Plan of Reorganization of Fuller-Austin
approved in the Confirmation Order for the resolution of present and future
asbestos personal injury and other claims against Fuller-Austin. In
consideration of the transfer and certain other payments by DynCorp to the Trust
aggregating approximately $8.5 million (a portion of which was recorded in prior
years including $7.8 million reserved by the Company in 1997 in anticipation of
the Global Settlement), both the Trust and Fuller-Austin have given DynCorp full
indemnification with respect to all present and future asbestos claims arising
from the operations of Fuller-Austin. The Confirmation Order also channels all
present and future asbestos claims related to Fuller-Austin’s operations to the
Trust. (See Note 21(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the history
of the Fuller-Austin asbestos claims and other circumstances related to the
Global Settlement and Fuller-Austin bankruptcy filing.)
On March 17, 1997, the Company issued $100.0 million of 9 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes (“Senior Notes”) with a scheduled maturity in 2007. Interest
is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year.
The Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the
Company, on or after March 1, 2002 at a redemption price which ranges from
104.75% in 2000 to 100.00% in 2005 and thereafter. In addition, at any time
prior to March 1, 2000, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes (at a redemption price of 109.50%) with
proceeds generated from a public offering of equity, provided at least 65% of
the original aggregate amount of the Senior Notes remains outstanding. The
Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and will be
subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt of the
Company.
On January 23, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Capricorn
Investors, L.P. (“Capricorn”) in which Capricorn agreed to waive its rights to
nominate directors of the Company and also waived certain voting rights of the
Company’s then outstanding Class C Preferred Stock. In return for these waivers,
the Company paid a fee and authorized Capricorn to distribute a substantial
portion of the shares of common stock and warrants and all of the outstanding
shares of Class C Preferred Stock to its investors. On February 5, 1997, the
Employee Stock Ownership Trust purchased from certain of these investors all of
the Company’s Class C Preferred Stock. The ESOP subsequently converted the Class
C Preferred Stock into common shares and common share warrants and exercised the
related warrants. Concurrently with the ESOP’s purchase, the Company acquired
certain number of the outstanding common shares and common stock warrants held
by other Capricorn investors. The purchase price of these securities was $56.4
million ($19.55 per common share or warrant), of which half, $28.2 million, was
paid in cash ($9.3 million and $18.9 million, was paid by the ESOP and the
Company, respectively) and short-term notes were issued for the balance (notes
issued by the ESOP and the Company were $9.3 million and $18.9 million,
respectively).
The Company engaged in the aforementioned equity repurchases in order to
eliminate the potential effect of certain preferential voting rights given the
Class C Preferred Stock in the Company’s certificate of incorporation; to reduce
the outstanding and fully diluted equity of the Company; to provide treasury
shares for future issuance to employees under the Company’s various compensation
and benefit plans without the need for issuance of new shares; and to provide
additional shares for the ESOP, which can only acquire shares by purchase from
the Company or other stockholders. The ESOP’s purpose for engaging in the
aforementioned transaction was to acquire shares for the allocation to
participants’ accounts in 1997 and 1998. In addition to converting a portion of
the Company’s total capitalization from equity capitalization to debt
capitalization, the transactions reduced the Company’s fully diluted equity,
thus improving the Company’s diluted earnings per share.
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
The principal “Year 2000” issue (“Y2K”) risk to the Company would have come from
an extended failure of one or more of its core systems (financial, payroll, and
human resources). Replacement of the Company’s core financial, human resources
and payroll systems software was initiated following a Year 2000 analysis
conducted in 1997 that found these programs to be non-compliant for the
millennium date rollover. Deployment of a new human resources and payroll system
was launched and completed prior to the end of 1999. Due to the large number of
conversions and the need to convert the core systems of DIS, the financial
systems implementation is now scheduled for completion in late 2001. A
contingency plan was activated to install an updated compliant version of the
Company’s current financial software package in all locations where conversion
to the new Enterprise Resource Planning package was not assured prior to 2000.
The updates were completely implemented by November 30, 1999, and no failures
were reported during or after the rollover.
Total expenditures for the Y2K effort were approximately $19.5 million as of
December 30, 1999, of which $11.6 million represented capitalized software
costs.
A Year 2000 Program Management Plan was developed and a Y2K Project Office
launched in mid-1998 to address other Y2K compliance issues. A multifunctional
task group oversaw assessment and remediation or replacement efforts in the
areas of core systems, network and office automation, and field information and
non-information systems. No problems have been found following the rollover
other than very minor, possibly Y2K-related aberrations that were quickly
addressed, usually within minutes. No problems have been found that materially
affected the Company’s ability to perform on its significant contracts. These
assessments included third-party service providers and other vendors on whom a
given contract might depend.
The core systems assessment included initial contact in 1998 with third-party
telecommunications, employee benefits, insurance, and other providers.
Documentation obtained from these providers generally stated that they were
addressing the Y2K problem. Follow-up contacts to ascertain the progress of
these providers was also conducted in late 1999 and no problems were reported.
The Company also assessed its vulnerability arising from payment capability of
the various government payment offices receiving and processing invoices from a
contract site. No problems surfaced with either the Defense Finance and
Accounting Service (DFAS) or the Department of Energy payment office. DoD and
DoE contracts represent a large portion of the Company’s work.
The Company also conducted assessments on government furnished equipment (“GFE”)
at contract sites. No failures affecting contract performance were experienced.
Infrastructure items that could have had Y2K compliance problems such as desktop
workstations, network components, and servers, were tested, and repaired or
replaced. The annual expenditures for these components were not significantly
above levels that could be expected in the normal course of business, given the
Company’s infrastructure replacement plan and budget.
In summary, the primary Y2K vulnerability for the Company was the possible
failure of core systems. This did not happen, as the resystemization effort was
a top priority within the Company, with dedicated teams and incentive plans for
retaining key employees throughout the project.
Assessments at the contract level were completed to the extent possible. These
assessments included analysis of the readiness of hardware, software, prime and
subcontractors, customers, suppliers and vendors, data dependencies, and
facilities. These assessments added value in that there were no reported issues
on any contracts.
Many Y2K-related actions will have long-term benefits to the Company. In 1999
the Company:
o upgraded much of the hardware and software company-wide, bringing the
Company to a higher level of technology, with the added benefit of
establishing a more “level playing field” system-wide that in the long run
should be easier to maintain;
o developed an expertise in contingency planning, which is a growing
opportunity in government contracting;
o became much more attuned to software virus issues and potential problems,
has increased security measures accordingly and has been alerted to
investigate other enhanced security precautions; and
o documented its inventories of IT and non-IT equipment.
Environmental Matters
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been named as a Potentially
Responsible Party (as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act) at any site. The Company has incurred costs for
the installation and operation of a soil and water remediation system and for
the clean up of environmental conditions at certain other sites (see Note 20(b)
to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company’s liability, in the
aggregate, with respect to these matters is not deemed to be material to the
Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s only use of derivative financial instruments is to manage its
exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The
Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes. There were no such financial instruments held during 1999.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Information with respect to this item is contained in the Company’s Consolidated
Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules included elsewhere in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Report of Independent Public Accountants
To DynCorp:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DynCorp (a
Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 30, 1999 and December 31,
1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and
stockholders’ equity for the year ended December 30, 1999 and each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements and the
schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of DynCorp and subsidiaries as of
December 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year ended December 30, 1999 and each of the two years in
the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule II, listed in Item 14 of the
Form 10-K, is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s rules and is not part of the basic financial statements.
This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in
all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DynCorp and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 30, 1999
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts or where otherwise noted)
(1) The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business and Organization:
DynCorp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) provides diversified management,
technical and professional services primarily to U.S. Government customers
throughout the United States and internationally. Organized in 1946, the Company
provides services to various branches of the Departments of Defense, Energy,
State, Justice, and Agriculture, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the National
Institute of Health, the Defense Information Systems Agency, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration and various other U.S., state and local
government agencies, commercial clients and foreign governments. Generally,
these services are provided under both prime contracts and subcontracts, which
may be fixed-price, time-and-material or cost-type contracts depending on the
work requirements and other individual circumstances. These services encompass a
wide range of management, technical and professional services.
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation. All majority-owned subsidiaries have been
included in the financial statements. Investments in which the Company owns a
20% to 50% ownership interest, are accounted for by the equity method while
investments of less than 20% ownership are accounted for under the cost method.
Outside investors’ interest in the majority-owned subsidiaries is reflected as
minority interest. Effective in 1999 the fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks
period ending the last Thursday in December. Previously, the Company had a
calendar year-end.
Use of Accounting Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Estimates include accrued liabilities such as incentive
compensation awards, which are not paid out until the following year. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Contract Accounting:
Contracts in process are stated at the lower of actual cost incurred plus
accrued profits or net estimated realizable value of incurred costs, reduced by
progress billings. The Company records income from major fixed-price contracts,
extending over more than one accounting period, using the
percentage-of-completion method. During performance of such contracts, estimated
final contract prices and costs are periodically reviewed and revisions are made
as required. The effects of these revisions are included in the periods in which
the revisions are made. On cost-plus-fee contracts, revenue is recognized to the
extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of fee earned, and on
time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable
rates times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred.
Losses on contracts are recognized when they become known. Disputes arise in the
normal course of the Company’s business on projects where the Company is
contesting with customers for collection of funds because of events such as
delays, changes in contract specifications and questions of cost allowability or
collectibility. Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in the
process of negotiation, are recorded at the lesser of their estimated net
realizable value or actual costs incurred and only when realization is probable
and can be reliably estimated. Claims against the Company are recognized where
loss is considered probable and reasonably determinable in amount.
Accounts Receivable:
It is the Company’s policy to provide reserves for the collectibility of
accounts receivable when it is determined that it is probable that the Company
will not collect all amounts due and the amount of reserve requirement can be
reasonably estimated.
Property and Equipment:
The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method. The estimated
useful lives used in computing depreciation are buildings, 15-33 years;
machinery and equipment, 3-20 years; and leasehold improvements, the lesser of
the useful life or the term of the lease. Depreciation expense was $5,412 for
1999, $4,781 for 1998 and $4,881 for 1997.
Cost of property and equipment sold or retired and the related accumulated
depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts in the year of
disposal, and any gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statements
of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
as incurred, and major additions and improvements are capitalized.
Intangible Assets:
The major classes of intangible assets as of December 30, 1999 and December 31,
1998 are summarized below (in millions):
Amortization
Period 1999 1998
Goodwill………………… 10 to 40 years $109.8 $44.9
Capitalized Software… 8 years 10.6 5.9
Core & developed technology… 5 years 7.6 –
Contracts acquired………… up to 10 years 8.4 1.1
Assembled workforce……….. 7 years 6.5 –
Patent…………………. 17 years 6.3 6.9
—— —–
Total net intangibles……. $149.2 $58.8
Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method for the
periods noted above. Amortization expense was $8,160, $1,575, and $1,560 in
1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively (see Note 13 ). Amortization expense for 1999
includes $1.2 million acceleration of goodwill amortization due to impairment.
Accumulated amortization of $55,755 and $50,030 has been recorded through
December 30,1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for impairment, the
Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the
asset. If impaired, the Company would write down the asset to its fair market
value. If the asset is held for sale, the Company reviews its fair value less
cost to sell. In 1999, the Company expensed $1.7 million related to impaired
assets including the $1.2 million noted above.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company has a policy to use derivative financial instruments to manage its
exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates as
warranted. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments
for trading purposes. There were no such financial instruments held during 1999.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”)
issued Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of
Start-up Activities,” which became effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. The statement provides guidance on the financial reporting of
start-up costs and organization costs and requires costs of start-up activities
to be expensed as incurred, except for long-term contracts. The adoption of this
statement, effective January 1, 1999, did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 137, which deferred the effective
date of SFAS 133. In June 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. Because of the Company’s minimal use of derivatives, the
Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a
material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
For purposes of these statements, short-term investments, which consist of
government treasury bills and time deposits with a maturity of ninety days or
less, are considered cash equivalents. At December 30, 1999, checks not yet
presented for payment of $11.1 million in excess of cash balances were included
in accounts payable on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company had
sufficient funds available to cover these outstanding checks when they were
presented for payment. Cash and short-term investments at December 31, 1998,
excludes $1.5 million of restricted cash which is classified as Other Assets.
Investing and financing activities include the following:
1999 1998 1997
Acquisitions of businesses:
Assets acquired $ 212,642 $ 11,185 $ –
Liabilities assumed (45,138) (946) –
Cash acquired 36 – –
———- ——— ———–
Net cash $ 167,540 $ 10,239 $ –
———- ——— ———–
Capitalized equipment leases and
notes secured by property and
equipment $ – $ – $ 626
The Company acquired GTE Information Systems LLC in 1999 and FMAS Corporation in
1998.
Comprehensive Income:
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130,
“Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which requires the presentation and disclosure
of comprehensive income. Translation adjustment of $(0.01) million is the only
component of the Company’s comprehensive income for the years ended December 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998 other than net income.
Reclassifications:
Consistent with industry practice, assets and liabilities relating to long-term
contracts and programs are classified as current although a portion of these
amounts is not expected to be realized within one year.
Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.
(2) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the
value:
Accounts receivable and contracts in process, net, prepaid income taxes,
accounts payable and accrued income taxes – The carrying amount approximates the
fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Long-term debt and other liabilities and deferred credits – The carrying value
of the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement and its 15.0% Senior
Subordinated Notes approximated the fair value. The fair value of the Company’s
Senior Notes, based on the current rate as if the issue date was December 30,
1999 was $92.4 million, as compared to a book value of $99.6 million in 1999.
The fair value of the Company’s 7.486% Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes
and the Senior Notes, based on the current rate as if the issue dates were
December 31, 1998 was $154.4 million, as compared to a book value of $149.5
million in 1998. For the remaining long-term debt (see Note 4) and other
liabilities and deferred credits, the carrying amount approximates the fair
value.
(3) Accounts Receivable and Contracts in Process
The components of accounts receivable and contracts in process were as follows
for the years ending December 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998:
1999 1998
—— ——
U.S. Government:
Billed and billable $238,709 $158,190
Recoverable costs and accrued profit
on progress completed but not billed 47,885 23,374
Retainage due upon completion of contract 2,769 2,641
——- ——-
289,363 184,205
——- ——-
Other Customers (primarily subcontracts from
U.S. Government prime contracts and contracts
with state, local and quasi-government
agencies):
Billed and billable (less allowance for
doubtful accounts of $3,156 in 1999
and $1,126 in 1998) 52,063 54,520
Recoverable costs and accrued profit on
progress completed but not billed 15,985 19,491
——– ——–
68,048 74,011
——– ——–
$357,411 $258,216
======== ========
Billed and billable include amounts earned and contractually billable at
year-end but which were not billed because customer invoices had not yet been
prepared at year-end. Recoverable costs and accrued profit on progress completed
but not billed is composed primarily of amounts recognized as revenues, but
which are not contractually billable at the balance sheet dates. It is expected
that all amounts outstanding at December 30, 1999 will be collected within one
year except for approximately $5,892.
(4) Long-term Debt
At December 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, long-term debt consisted of:
1999 1998
—— ——
Senior Secured Credit Agreement – Term A Loan $100,000 $ –

2003 28,034
2004 26,000
Thereafter 228,535

$343,186
========
On December 10, 1999, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Agreement
(the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of financial institutions. Under the
Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $100.0 million under Term A loans
maturing December 9, 2004, $100.0 million under Term B loans maturing December
9, 2006, and $23.8 million under a $90.0 million revolving line of credit
maturing December 9, 2004. Of the total borrowings under the Credit Agreement,
$125.0 million was used for partial payment of the purchase price for GTE
Information Systems LLC. An additional $112.0 million of the borrowings was used
to make an optional redemption of Dyn Funding Corporation’s outstanding 7.486%
Fixed Rate Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes, Series 1997-1, Class A and
to reduce irrevocably Dyn Funding Corporation’s Floating Rate Contract
Receivable Collateralized Notes, Series 1997-1, Class B. The remainder was used
to pay transactional expenses and for general corporate operating purposes. Upon
the closing of the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its previous
revolving line of credit facility.
The Credit Agreement stipulates that the Company must maintain certain financial
ratios, including specified ratios of earnings to fixed charges, debt to
earnings, and accounts receivable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
On December 10, 1999, the Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $2.5 million
($1.6 million after tax or $0.16 for basic and diluted earnings per share) in
connection with the early retirement of the $50.0 million 7.486% Fixed Rate
Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes. The extraordinary loss was comprised
of the payment of a yield maintenance premium and the write-off of associated
debt issuance cost.
The Term A Loans are to be repaid in sixteen quarterly installments of $6.3
million beginning in February 2001. The Term B Loans are to be repaid in twenty
quarterly installments of $0.3 million starting in February 2000 and then eight
quarterly installments of $11.9 million beginning in February 2005. At the
option of the Company, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at
either LIBOR or a base rate established by the bank, plus a margin that varies
based upon the Company’s ratio of debt to earnings.
The Company is charged a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on unused commitments
under the revolving line of credit. As of December 30, 1999, $7.0 million of
borrowings and $7.4 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the line
of credit, and the amount available was $75.6 million.
On December 10, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with various
financial institutions for the sale of $40.0 million face value of the Company’s
subordinated pay-in-kind notes due 2007, with an estimated fair value of $33.9
million (Senior Notes), and for the sale of 426,217 shares of the Company’s
stock with an estimated fair value of $6.1 million (see Note 7). The proceeds
were used for payment of the balance of the purchase price for GTE Information
Systems LLC. The Subordinated Notes bear interest at 15.0% per annum, payable
semi-annually in-kind. The Company may, at its option, prior to December 15,
2004, pay the interest in cash or in additional Subordinated Notes. The
Subordinated Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the
Company, on or after December 15, 2000 at a redemption price that ranges from
114.0% in 2000 to 100.0% in 2006 and thereafter. The Subordinated Notes are
general unsecured obligations of the Company and will be subordinated in right
of payment to all existing and future senior debt of the Company and to the
Senior Notes.
On March 17, 1997, the Company issued $100.0 million of 9 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes (“Senior Subordinated Notes”) with a scheduled maturity in
2007. Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on March 1 and September 1
of each year. The Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the
option of the Company, on or after March 1, 2002 at a redemption price which
ranges from 104.8% in 2000 to 100.0% in 2005 and thereafter. In addition, at any
time prior to March 1, 2000, the Company may redeem up to 35.0% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes (at a redemption price of 109.5%) with
proceeds generated from a public offering of equity, provided at least 65.0%
of the original aggregate amount of the Senior Notes remains outstanding. The
Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and will be
subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt of the
Company.
The Credit Agreement and indentures for the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated
Notes contains customary restrictions on the ability of the Company to undertake
certain activities, such as the incurrance of additional debt, the payment of
dividends on or the repurchase of the Company’s common stock, the merger of the
Company into another company, the sale of substantially all the Company’s
assets, and the acquisition of the stock or substantially all the assets of
another company.
The Company acquired the Alexandria, VA headquarters of Technology Applications,
Inc. (“TAI”) on November 12, 1993, in conjunction with the acquisition of TAI. A
mortgage of $3,344 bearing interest at 8.0% per annum was assumed. Payments are
made monthly and the mortgage matures in April 2003. On February 29, 2000, the
Company sold the related property for $10.5 million in cash and simultaneously
entered into a lease agreement for the property. The 8.0% mortgage was paid off
at this time.
Deferred debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest
rate method over the term of the related debt. At December 30, 1999, and
December 31, 1998, unamortized deferred debt issuance costs were $12,113 and
$4,924, respectively and amortization for 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $1,211, $721,
and $706, respectively. Amortization of debt issue discount was $39, $36, and
$26 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Cash paid for interest was $16,209 for 1999, $13,454 for 1998, and $13,076 for
1997.

(6) Employee Stock Ownership Plan
In September 1988, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(“ESOP”). The Company borrowed $100 million and loaned the proceeds, on the same
terms as the Company’s borrowings, to the ESOP to purchase 4,123,711 shares of
common stock of the Company. The ESOP acquired 2,797,812 additional shares from
1993 through 1996 either through contributions of stock from the Company, or
contributions of cash from the Company with which the ESOP then purchased shares
either from the Company, on the Internal Market, or directly from other
stockholders.
At the beginning of 1997, the ESOP had considerable cash on hand. Utilizing this
cash and loans from the Company, the ESOP purchased all of the Company’s Class C
Preferred Stock. The ESOP subsequently converted the Class C Preferred Stock and
exercised the related warrants, at which time the Company issued 949,642 shares
of common stock to the ESOP. The purchase price for the Class C Preferred Stock
was $18,566 ($19.55 per share, after exercise of warrants) of which half was
paid in cash ($8,277 on hand and $1,006 loaned from the Company) and notes were
issued for the balance. The notes, and related accrued interest, have been paid
in full as of December 30, 1999.
In 1999, the ESOP utilized 1999 contributions and loans to make the required
principal and interest payments on the aforementioned notes, pay administrative
fees, purchase 95,735 shares of stock on the internal market and purchase
273,139 shares of stock from other stockholders. At December 30, 1999, the
unpaid balance on these subsequent loans, $2,658, representing 101,052 shares,
was reflected as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. The ESOP covers a majority
of the employees of the Company. Participants in the ESOP become fully vested
after four years of service. At December 30, 1999, the ESOP owned 7,451,989
shares, of which most has been allocated to participants. The Company recognizes
compensation expense each year based on the cash contribution for the year. In
1999, 1998, and 1997, cash contributions to the ESOP were $13,220, $12,600, and
$11,200, respectively. These amounts were charged to Cost of Services and
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses.
(7) Redeemable Common Stock
Common stock which is redeemable has been reflected as Temporary Equity at the
redeemable value at each balance sheet date and consists of the following:

ESOP Shares
In accordance with ERISA regulations and the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
“Plan”) documents, the ESOP Trust or the Company is obligated to purchase vested
common stock shares from ESOP participants (see Note 6) at the fair value (as
determined by an independent appraiser) until such time as the Company’s common
stock is publicly traded. The shares initially bought by the ESOP in 1988 were
bought at a “control price,” reflecting the higher price that buyers typically
pay when they buy an entire company (as the ESOP and other investors did in the
1988 LBO). A special provision in the ESOP’s 1988 agreement permits participants
to receive a “control price” when they sell these shares back to the Company
under the ESOP’s “put option” provisions. This “control price”, determined by
the appraiser on February 21, 2000, was $27.50 per share as of December 30,
1999. The additional shares obtained by the ESOP in 1994 through 1999 were at a
“minority interest price”, reflecting the lower price that buyers typically pay
when they are buying only a small piece of a company. Participants do not have
the right to sell these shares at the “control price”. The minority interest
price determined by the independent appraiser on February 21, 2000, was $22.75
per share as of December 30, 1999. Participants receive their vested shares upon
retirement, becoming disabled, or death over a period of one to five years and
for other reasons of termination over a period of one to ten years, all as set
forth in the Plan documents. The ESOP Trust purchases participants’ shares at
the applicable price, utilizing cash available from the Company’s contributions
and loans (see Note 6). The participant can elect to receive stock in kind
instead of a participant put. Based on fair values of $27.50 and $22.75 per
share as of December 30, 1999, the estimated aggregate annual commitment to
repurchase shares from the ESOP participants upon death, disability, retirement
and termination is as follows: $8,424 in 2000, $12,559 in 2001, $15,084 in 2002,
$17,043 in 2003, $22,649 in 2004 and $107,215 thereafter. Under the Subscription
Agreement with the ESOP dated September 9, 1988, the Company is permitted to
defer put options if, under Delaware law, the capital of the Company would be
impaired as a result of such repurchase.
Other Shares
On December 10,1999, the Company entered into an agreement with various
financial institutions for the sale of 426,271 shares of the Company’s stock and
Senior Subordinated Notes (see Note 4). Under a contemporaneous registration
rights agreement, the holders of these shares of stock will have a put right to
the Company commencing on December 10, 2003, at a price of $40.53 per share,
unless one of the following events has occurred prior to such date or the
exercise of the put right: (1) an initial public offering of the Company’s
common stock has been consummated; (2) all the Company’s common stock has been
sold; (3) all the Company’s assets have been sold in such a manner that the
holders have received cash payments; or (4) the Company’s common stock has been
listed on a national securities exchange or authorized for quotation on the
Nasdaq National Market System for which there is a public market of at least
$100 million for the Company’s common stock. If, at the time of the holders’
exercise of the put right the Company is unable to pay the put price because of
financial covenants in loan agreements or other provisions of law, the Company
will not honor the put at that time, and the put price will escalate for a
period of up to four years, at which time the put must be honored. The
escalation rate increases during such period until the put is honored, and the
rate varies from an annualized factor of 22% for the first quarter after the put
is not honored up to 52% during the sixteenth quarter.
In conjunction with the acquisition of TAI in November 1993, the Company issued
put options on 125,714 shares of common stock. The holder could, at any time
commencing on December 31, 1998 and ending on December 31, 2000, sell these
shares to the Company at a price per share equal to the greater of $17.50; or,
if the stock is publicly traded, the market value at a specified date; or, if
the Company’s stock is not publicly traded, the ESOP control price at the time
of exercise. On January 12, 1999, the holder exercised the put option on these
shares at the applicable price of $24.25 per share.

(a) Under diversification rules, as defined by the Plan, ESOP participants have
the option of receiving a distribution of up to 25.0% of their aggregate
accounts, in order to convert Company stock into another type of
investment. The option extends over a five-year period beginning after the
participant has reached age 55 and has ten years of participation in the
ESOP. At the sixth year, the distribution right increases to 50.0% of the
participant’s account.
(8) Preferred Stock, Class C
Dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock accrued at an annual rate of 18.0%,
compounded quarterly. At December 31, 1996, cumulative dividends of $11,147 had
not been recorded or paid. In February 1997, the ESOP purchased all of the Class
C Preferred Stock, which was immediately converted into Common Stock.
(9) Common Stock
At December 30, 1999, Common Stock includes those shares issued to outside
investors, officers and directors, current and former employees and the Savings
and Retirement Plan (“SARP”), as well as any ESOP or SARP shares that have been
distributed in kind to former participants in the plans.
(10) Common Stock Warrants and Restricted Stock
The Company initially issued warrants on September 9, 1988 to certain
stockholders to purchase a maximum of 5,891,987 shares of common stock of the
Company. The warrants were recorded at their fair value of $2.43 per warrant and
warrants issued to a lender were recorded at $3.28 per warrant. Each warrant was
exercisable to obtain one share of common stock. The stockholder could exercise
the warrant and pay in cash the exercise price of $0.25 for one share of common
stock or sell back to the Company a sufficient number of the exercised shares to
equal the value of the warrants to be exercised. All warrants were either
exercised or canceled before their September 9, 1998 expiration date. There were
no warrants outstanding at December 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively.
The Company had a Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”) under which management and
key employees could be awarded shares of common stock based on the Company’s
performance. The Company initially reserved 1,023,037 shares of common stock for
issuance under the Plan. Under the Plan, Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) were
granted to participants who were selected by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. Each Unit entitled the participant upon achievement of the
performance goals (all as defined) to receive one share of the Company’s common
stock. Units could not be converted into shares of common stock until the
participant’s interest in the Units had vested. Vesting occurred upon completion
of the specified periods as set forth in the Plan.
(11) Acquisitions
On December 10, 1999, the Company acquired GTE Information Systems LLC, a
subsidiary of GTE Corporation, for $167.5 million in cash and has accounted for
the acquisition as a purchase. The purchase price has been allocated to the
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimated fair
value at the date of acquisition. In addition, $6.4 million of the purchase
price was allocated to in-process research, which the Company has expensed at
the date of acquisition. $67.7 million of goodwill has been recorded on a
preliminary basis based on the allocation of the purchase price and will be
amortized over 30 years. On December 13, 1999, the name of the Company was
changed to DynCorp Information Systems LLC (“DIS”). It will operate as a
separate subsidiary of the Company. Operating results for DIS have been
included from the date of acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents the
historical results of operations of the Company and DIS, with pro forma
adjustments as if DIS had been acquired as of the beginning of the periods
presented. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of
what the results of operations actually would have been if the transaction had
occurred as of the beginning of those periods, or of future results of
operations.

DoD treatment facilities as well as other public and governmental facilities.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and $7.1 million of value
assigned to a pending patent, $0.4 million of goodwill, and $0.4 million of
value assigned to contracts has been recorded based on allocation of the
purchase price. These amounts will be amortized over 17 years, 15 years, and the
life of the contracts, respectively.
(12) Savings Plan
The Company has a Savings and Retirement Plan which is intended to qualify under
section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows eligible employees
to contribute from 1.0% to 15.0% of their income on a pretax basis. In 1996, the
Company began matching 100.0% of the first 1.0% of employee contributions and
25.0% of the next 4.0% of employee contributions, provided the employee
contribution was invested in the Company’s Stock Fund. Matching contributions
are invested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has
expensed approximately $1,937, $1,624, and $1,224, in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively, related to these matching contributions.

As prescribed by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company
utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of
temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to
future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are
provided if required.

No Federal valuation allowance was required for the Company’s deferred tax
assets at December 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998. State valuation allowances
represent reserves for income tax benefits, which are not recognized due to
uncertainty regarding future earnings in the applicable states. The net deferred
tax liability includes current deferred tax assets of $3,517 and $3,357 as of
December 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, which are included in
Other Current Assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s U.S. Federal income tax returns have been cleared with the IRS
through 1993.
Cash paid for income taxes was $4,942 for 1999, $7,338 for 1998, and $2,676 for
1997.
The tax provision differs from the amounts obtained by applying the statutory
U.S. Federal income tax rate to the earnings from continuing operations before
minority interest. The differences are reconciled as follows:

(15) Pension and Postretirement Benefits Plans
Multiemployer Pension Plan
Union employees who are not participants in the ESOP are covered by
multiemployer pension plans under which the Company pays fixed amounts,
generally per hours worked, according to the provisions of the various labor
contracts. In 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Company expensed $3,954, $3,538, and
$3,451, respectively, for these plans. Under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act
of 1980, an employer is liable upon withdrawal from or termination of a
multiemployer plan for its proportionate share of the plan’s unfunded vested
benefits liability. Based on information provided by the administrators of the
majority of these multiemployer plans, the Company does not believe there is any
significant amount of unfunded vested liability under these plans.
Defined Benefit Pension and Union Benefit Plans
On December 11, 1999, the Company began participating in the DIS Pension Plan
for Salaried Employees, which is a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
sponsored by DIS, covering a majority of DIS’ employees. The benefits to be paid
under this plan are generally based on years of credited service and average
final earnings. The Company’s funding policy, subject to the minimum funding
requirements of employee benefit and tax laws, is to contribute such amounts as
are determined on an actuarial basis to accumulate funds sufficient to meet the
plan’s benefit obligation to employees upon their retirement. The assets of the
plan consist primarily of corporate equities, government securities and
corporate debt securities.
Also on December 11, 1999, certain of the Company’s union employees began
participating in the DynCorp Information Systems LLC Union Pension Plan, which
is a noncontributory defined benefit pension and a postretirement healthcare and
life insurance benefit plan, sponsored by DIS.
The significant weighted-average assumptions used by the Company for the pension
measurements were as follows at December 30, 1999:
Discount rate 7.75%
Rate of compensation increase 5.00%
Expected return on plan assets 9.00%
Net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s pension plans is $68 for the year
ended December 30, 1999. The projected benefit obligation and fair value of the
pension plans’ assets at December 30, 1999 is $44,553 and $57,604, respectively.
The net prepaid benefit cost at December 30, 1999 is therefore $13,051.
Postretirement Benefit Plan
On December 11, 1999, a majority of the Company’s DIS employees became covered
under a postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefit plan sponsored by
DIS. The determination of benefit cost for postretirement health plan is
generally based on comprehensive hospital, medical and surgical benefit plan
provisions.
The weighted-average assumptions used by the Company in the actuarial
computations for postretirement benefits were as follows at December 30, 1999:
Discount rate 7.75%
Expected return on plan assets 6.75%
Net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s postretirement healthcare and life
insurance benefit plan as of December 30, 1999 is $53. The projected benefit
obligation and fair value of the postretirement benefit plan’s assets at
December 30, 1999 is $21,608 and $12,090, respectively. The net accrued benefit
liability at December 30, 1999 is therefore $9,518.
(16) Net Earnings Per Common Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing common stockholders’ share of net earnings by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and contingently
issuable shares. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding
includes issued shares less shares held in treasury and any unallocated ESOP
shares. Shares earned and vested but unissued under the Restricted Stock Plan
are contingently issuable shares whose condition for issuance have been
satisfied and as such have been included in the calculation of basic EPS.
Diluted EPS is computed similarly except the denominator is increased to include
the weighted average number of stock warrants and options outstanding, assuming
the treasury stock method.
The following is a reconciliation of shares for basic EPS to shares for diluted
EPS for the fiscal years ended:

(17) Incentive Compensation Plans
The Company has several formal incentive compensation plans that provide for
incentive payments of cash and stock to officers and key employees. Incentive
payments under these plans are based upon operational performance, individual
performance or a combination thereof, as defined in the plans.
(18) Stock Option Plan
In March 1999, the Company adopted a Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan, which
authorizes the grant of performance-based stock and cash incentive compensation
in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
performance grants and awards, and other stock-based grants and awards. Specific
terms relating to the grant are set by the Compensation Committee at the time of
the grant. Stock options granted under the Plan permit optionees to purchase a
designated number of shares of common stock at an exercise price set by the
Committee, which establishes vesting and exercise provisions to be set forth in
individual option agreements. The exercise price may not be lower than the fair
market value of the shares as of the time the option is granted. Options granted
during 1999 generally vest based on cumulative profit performance of the Company
against a projected return over a four-year period. Options, which do not vest
during the first four years, will vest if, but only if, the employee is still
employed by the Company at the earlier of the eighth anniversary of the grant or
the employee’s 65th birthday. Options that are not exercised within ten years of
the grant date will expire.
The Company adopted an incentive stock option plan in 1995, whereby options
could be granted to officers and other key employees to purchase a maximum of
1,250,000 common shares at an option price not less than the most recently
determined fair market value as of the grant date. The grants are exercisable
only when vested and vest proportionately over a period of seven or five years,
depending on the date of the grant. Options that are not exercised within ten or
seven years from the date of the grant, depending on the date of the grant,
shall expire. The fair value of each option grant is equal to the Formula Price
at the date of grant.
Stock option activity was as follows:

Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, the Company
has elected to account for its employee stock option plan under APB Opinion No.

has been recognized for this plan. Had compensation cost for the plan been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with SFAS No.

and Administrative Expense.
(20) Contingencies and Litigation
The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are involved in various claims
and lawsuits, including contract disputes and claims based on allegations of
negligence and other tortious conduct. The Company is also potentially liable
for certain personal injury, tax, environmental, and contract dispute issues
related to the prior operations of divested businesses. In addition, certain
subsidiary companies are potentially liable for environmental, personal injury,
and contract and dispute claims. In most cases, the Company and its subsidiaries
have denied, or believe they have a basis to deny liability, and in some cases
have offsetting claims against the plaintiffs, third parties or insurance
carriers. The total amount of damages currently claimed by the plaintiffs in
these cases is estimated to be approximately $41.0 million (including
compensatory punitive damages and penalties). The Company believes that the
amount that will actually be recovered in these cases will be substantially less
than the amount claimed. After taking into account available insurance, the
Company believes it is adequately reserved with respect to the potential
liability for such claims. The estimates set forth above do not reflect claims
that may have been incurred but have not yet been filed. The Company has
recorded such damages and penalties that are considered to be probable
recoveries against the Company or its subsidiaries.
(a) Certain Pre-1999 Contingent Liability
A former subsidiary, Fuller-Austin Insulation Company (“Fuller-Austin”), which
discontinued its industrial insulation business activities in 1986, became a
defendant in various personal injury law suits that were filed against
manufacturers, distributors and installers of products allegedly containing
asbestos. Fuller-Austin was a non-manufacturer that installed and occasionally
distributed industrial insulation products.
Effective September 4, 1998, Fuller-Austin filed a Plan of Reorganization (the
“Plan”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
The filing of the Plan followed a year of negotiations among a committee
representing asbestos claimants (the “Committee”), a legal representative of the
unknown future claimants (the “Legal Representative”), Fuller-Austin, and the
Company. As a consequence of these negotiations, the Plan was developed as part
of a pre-packaged filing by Fuller-Austin under Section 524(g) of the Code.
Section 524(g) is designed to deal specifically with the resolution under the
Code of obligations of debtors that have asbestos liability.
In furtherance of the Plan and the proposed global settlement, representatives
of Fuller-Austin, the Company as Fuller-Austin’s parent and sole stockholder,
the Committee, and the Legal Representative negotiated a separate release
agreement under which the Company has been released from any and all present and
future liability for Fuller-Austin asbestos liability, in consideration of the
transfer of certain Company property (including all the outstanding stock of
Fuller-Austin) and certain insurance rights to the Fuller-Austin settlement
trust, and the payment to the trust of certain cash consideration. The total
amount reserved for this purpose at December 31, 1997 was $14.0 million, in
anticipation of the settlement under the Release Agreement.
Effective December 10, 1998, pursuant to the terms of a Confirmation Order
entered jointly on November 13, 1998 by the United States District and
Bankruptcy Courts in Wilmington, Delaware, and the terms of the Release
Agreement, the Company transferred and conveyed all of its interests in
Fuller-Austin (including all of Fuller-Austin’s liabilities) to a trust (the
“Trust”) established by the Confirmation Order in accordance with Section 524(g)
of the Code. The Trust is part of the Plan approved in the Confirmation Order
for the resolution of present and future asbestos personal injury and other
claims against Fuller-Austin. As part of the Confirmation Order, the Courts
issued an injunction channeling all future asbestos claims against Fuller-Austin
or the Company to the Trust. The Trust has also undertaken to indemnify the
Company against any and all future asbestos and other liability related to
Fuller-Austin or the past ownership of Fuller-Austin by the Company.
Effective December 11, 1998, the liabilities and assets of Fuller-Austin were
removed from the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Plan
and Confirmation Order. The decreases in the balance sheet resulting from this
de-consolidation of Fuller-Austin is as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,476
Property and equipment $ 1,248
Other assets $44,462
Accrued liabilities $ 8,464
Other liabilities and deferred credits $45,722
Under the terms of the Release Agreement, the Trust will continue to have access
on an exclusive basis to certain Company insurance aggregating as much as
$251,500 and issued during the periods 1974 through 1986, under which
Fuller-Austin is an additional insured.
(b) General Litigation
The Company retained certain potential liability in connection with its 1989
divestiture of its major electrical contracting business, Dynalectric Company
(“Dynalectric”). The Company and Dynalectric were sued in 1988 in Bergen County
Superior Court, New Jersey, by a former Dynalectric joint venture
partner/subcontractor (“Subcontractor”) claiming unspecified damages for
improper subcontract termination, misappropriation of technology, and fraud,
among other allegations. The New Jersey Court ordered the parties to arbitration
in December of 1997. Under the terms of a July 9, 1998 arbitration award and a
decision by the Court on certain discovery sanctions and indemnification
obligations, Dynalectric was required to pay the Subcontractor a total of $2.73
million, of which the Company was responsible for two-thirds. The Subcontractor
filed an action to vacate the arbitration award and indicated its intention to
pursue other actions against Dynalectric and the Company. Effective December 27,
1999, the Subcontractor, the Company and Dynalectric executed a mutual
settlement finally resolving all issues related to the original Subcontractor
allegations and the court and arbitration proceedings. Under the settlement
terms, Dynalectric was obligated to pay the Subcontractor $3.0 million,
two-thirds of which was ultimately paid by the Company. The resolution of these
matters did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or
financial condition.
In November, 1994, the Company acquired an information technology business which
was involved in various disputes with federal and state agencies, including two
contract default actions and a qui tam suit by a former employee alleging
improper billing of a federal government agency customer. The Company has
contractual rights to indemnification from the former owner of the acquired
subsidiary with respect to the defense of all such claims and litigation, as
well as all liability for damages when and if proven. In October 1995, one of
the federal agencies asserted a claim against the subsidiary and gave the
Company notice that it intended to withhold payments against the contract under
which the claim arose. The agency withheld approximately $3.0 million due the
Company under one of the aforementioned disputes. In January, 2000, pursuant to
a settlement negotiated by the former subsidiary owner, the federal agency
repaid the Company approximately $2.8 million of the offset funds. The Company
is pursuing a claim against the former subsidiary owner for the balance of the
offset amount, plus interest since the date of offset. The offset amount,
excluding interest, is included in accounts receivable and contracts in process
on the balance sheet as of December 30, 1999. The Company believes that it has
meritorious claims for the recovery of these amounts under the terms of the
acquisition agreement indemnification provisions.
In December of 1997, a subsidiary of the Company filed an action against an
unrelated teaming partner to enforce the terms of a teaming agreement under
which the subsidiary was to receive a subcontract upon the award of a ship
operation contract to the teaming partner. The teaming partner filed a counter
claim against the Company’s subsidiary alleging approximately $15 million of
damages related to the subsidiary’s alleged interference with the teaming
partner’s efforts to purchase a ship. The subsidiary is defending against the
counter claim and believes that it has meritorious defenses. The resolution of
this matter is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results
of operations or financial condition.
As to environmental issues, neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, is
named a Potentially Responsible Party (as defined in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)) at any site.
The Company, however, did undertake, as part of the 1988 divestiture of a
petrochemical engineering subsidiary, an obligation to install and operate a
soil and water remediation system at a subsidiary research facility site in New
Jersey and also is required to pay the costs of continued operation of the
remediation system. In addition, the Company, pursuant to the 1995 sale of its
Commercial Aviation Business, is responsible for the costs of clean-up of
environmental conditions at certain designated sites. Such costs may include the
removal and subsequent replacement of contaminated soil, concrete, and
underground storage tanks, that existed prior to the sale of the Commercial
Aviation Business. The resolution of these matters is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
The Company believes it has adequate accruals for any liability it may incur
arising from the designated sites.
The Company is a party to other civil and contractual lawsuits that have arisen
in the normal course of business for which potential liability, including costs
of defense, constitutes the remainder of the $41.0 million discussed above. The
estimated probable liability for these issues is approximately $18.0 million and
is substantially covered by insurance. All of the insured claims are within
policy limits and have been tendered to and accepted by the applicable carriers.
The Company has recorded an offsetting asset (Other Assets) and liability (Other
Liabilities and Deferred Credits) of $18.0 million at December 30, 1999 for
these items.
The Company has recorded its best estimate of the aggregate liability that will
result from these matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty
the outcome of litigation and other matters discussed above, it is the opinion
of the Company’s management, based in part upon opinions of counsel, insurance
in force, and the facts currently known, that liabilities in excess of those
recorded, if any, arising from such matters would not have a material adverse
effect on the results of operations, consolidated financial condition or
liquidity of the Company over the long-term. However, it is possible that the
timing of the resolution of individual issues could result in a significant
impact on the operating results and/or liquidity for one or more future
reporting periods.
The major portion of the Company’s business involves contracting with
departments and agencies of, and prime contractors to, the U.S. Government, and
such contracts are subject to possible termination for the convenience of the
government and to audit and possible adjustment to give effect to unallowable
costs under cost-type contracts or to other regulatory requirements affecting
both cost-type and fixed-price contracts. Payments received by the Company for
allowable direct and indirect costs are subject to adjustment and repayment
after audit by government auditors if the payments exceed allowable costs.
Audits have been completed on the Company’s incurred contract costs through 1995
with the exception of two contracts. Reports on several completed audits have
not been issued pending resolution of minor items. The Company has included an
allowance for excess billings and contract losses in its financial statements
that it believes is adequate based on its interpretation of contracting
regulations and past experience. There can be no assurance, however, that this
allowance will be adequate. The Company is aware of various costs questioned by
the government, but cannot determine the outcome of the audit findings at this
time. In addition, the Company is occasionally the subject of investigations by
various investigative organizations, resulting from employee and other
allegations regarding business practices. In management’s opinion, there are no
outstanding issues of this nature at December 30, 1999 that will have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.
(21) Business Segments
The Company has three reportable segments, DynCorp Information and Enterprise
Technology (“DI&ET”), DynCorp Technical Services (“DTS”) and DynCorp Information
Systems LLC (“DIS”). These three reportable segments are strategic business
units that provide distinctly different services to a variety of customers.
DI&ET designs, develops, supports and integrates software and hardware systems
to provide customers with comprehensive solutions for information management and
engineering needs. DTS provides services ranging from aviation maintenance to
multifaceted aerospace sciences, technology and avionics engineering. DIS offers
a full range of integrated telecommunications services and information
technology solutions in the area of professional services, business systems
integration, information infrastructure solutions and information technology
operations and support.
The Company evaluates performance based primarily on operating profit, but also
evaluates return on net assets and days sales outstanding. Operating profit is
the excess of revenues over operating expenses and certain nonoperating
expenses.
The Company derived 93%, 95% , and 97% of its revenues from contracts and
subcontracts with the U.S. Government in 1999, 1998, and 1997 respectively.
Prime contracts comprised 75% of revenue in 1999 and 72% of revenue in 1998 and
1997, respectively. Prime contracts with the Department of Defense (“DoD”)
represented 40%, of revenue in 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 45% in 1997. In
1999, the Company’s second largest customer was the Department of Energy,
comprising 12% of revenue. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of
revenues in any year.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
The Company believes that all required persons filed all required reports
under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act in a timely manner.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The following table sets forth information regarding annual and long-term
compensation for the chief executive officer and the other four most highly
compensated executive officers of the Company (the “named executive officers”).
The table does not include information for any fiscal year during which a named
executive officer did not hold such a position with the Company.
SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company has established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for
certain senior executives, including the named executive officers, whereby the
individuals (or their beneficiaries) receive payments having an aggregate amount
equal to 150% of the sum of their final annual salary rate plus their final
target annual bonus, paid over the ten-year period following their normal
retirement, disability retirement, and, in some cases, early retirement. Upon
their death following such retirement, the individuals’ beneficiaries will also
receive an additional aggregate lump-sum payment equal to one-half of the
foregoing amount. In the event of their death prior to retirement, the
individuals’ beneficiaries will receive, in lieu of the foregoing payments, an
aggregate lump-sum payment equal to 100% of the sum of their final annual salary
rate plus their final target annual bonus. The Company funds some of such
potential payments through split-dollar life insurance policies.
CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into change-in-control agreements with the named
executive officers (the “Severance Agreements”). Each Severance Agreement
provides that certain benefits, including a lump-sum payment, will be triggered
if the executive is terminated following a change in control of the Company,
unless termination occurs under certain circumstances set forth in the Severance
Agreements. A change in control would occur if the Company were to be
substantially acquired by a new owner or if a majority of the Board of Directors
were replaced. The Severance Agreements currently expire on December 31, 2000
but are subject to annual automatic renewal unless terminated by the Board of
Directors. The amount of such lump-sum payment would be 2.99 times the sum of
the executive’s annual salary and the average incentive compensation for the
three prior years. Other benefits include payment of incentive compensation not
yet paid for the prior year and a pro rata portion of incentive compensation
awards for the current year. Each Severance Agreement also provides a reduction
if the proposed payments exceed the amount the Company is entitled to deduct on
its federal income tax return. The Severance Agreements also provide that the
Company will reimburse the individual for legal fees and expenses incurred by
the executive as a result of termination.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Mr. Bannister receives an annual fee of $144,000 to serve as Chairman of
the Board and member of various Board committees and to provide other services
to the Company.
Other non-employee directors of the Company receive an annual retainer fee
of $20,000 as directors and $2,750 for each committee on which they serve. The
chairmen of the Business Ethics and Compliance, Compensation, and Executive
Committees receive an additional annual fee of $2,000, and the chairman of the
Audit Committee receives an additional annual fee of $3,000. The Company also
pays non-employee directors a meeting fee of $1,000 for attendance at each Board
meeting and $500 for attendance at committee meetings. Directors are reimbursed
for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings and other
Company functions.
In 1999, 5,000 stock options, having an exercise price equal to the
then-current fair market value, were awarded to Mr. Thompson, pursuant to the
Company’s 1995 Stock Option Plan.
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS LIABILITY INSURANCE
The Company has purchased and paid the premium for insurance in respect of
claims against its directors and officers and in respect of losses for which the
Company may be required or permitted by law to indemnify such directors and
officers. The directors insured are the directors named herein and all directors
of the Company’s subsidiaries. The officers insured are all officers and
assistant officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. There is no allocation
or segregation of the premium as regards specific subsidiaries or individual
directors and officers.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
None of the members of the Compensation Committee are current or former
employees of or have a business or other relationship with the Company. No
executive officer of the Company serves on the board of directors or
compensation committee of any entity (other than subsidiaries of the Company)
whose directors or executive officers served on the Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee of the Company.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
As of March 15, 2000, the Company had 10,410,958 shares of Common Stock
outstanding, which constituted all the outstanding voting securities of the
Company. If all shares issuable upon exercise of all vested and unvested options
and shares issuable as a result of expiration of deferrals under a former
Restricted Stock Plan were to be issued, the outstanding voting securities
following such events (the “fully diluted shares”) would consist of 11,998,981
shares of Common Stock. The following tables show beneficial ownership of
outstanding voting shares as a percentage of currently outstanding stock and
beneficial ownership of issued and issuable shares as a percentage of common
stock on a fully diluted basis assuming all such exercises and issuances.

number of directors of the Corporation shall not be less than nine (9), nor more
than twelve (12), the exact number of directors to be determined from time to
time by resolution of a majority of the whole Board of Directors, and such exact
number shall be nine (9) until otherwise determined by resolution adopted by
affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors. As used in these
By-Laws, the term “whole Board” means the total number of directors which the
Corporation would have if there were no vacancies. The Board of Directors shall
be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as the then-total
number of directors constituting the whole Board permits, with the term of
office of one class expiring each year. The initial term of directors of the
first class shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting, the initial term
of directors of the second class shall expire at the second succeeding annual
meeting, and the initial term of directors of the third class shall expire at
the third succeeding annual meeting. Thereafter at the conclusion of each term,
each class of nominated directors shall stand for election for a three-year
term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be
apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each
class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class
elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold
office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but
in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any
incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for
the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and
shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification or removal from office; provided further that the policy
regarding mandatory retirement of directors shall be as established by a
majority of the whole Board of Directors, and any incumbent director reaching
any mandatory retirement age last established prior to his most recent election
to the Board of Directors shall be eligible to serve only through the date he
attains such mandatory retirement age (regardless of the remaining term of such
incumbent director’s class).
Section 2. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase
in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the whole Board of
Directors, and any other vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be
refilled by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, although less than a
quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy
not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same
remaining term as that of his predecessor.
Section 3. The property, business, and affairs of the Corporation shall be
managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors, which may exercise
all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are
not by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws directed or
required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
Committees of Directors
Section 4. The Board of Directors at its first meeting after each annual meeting
of the stockholders shall designate three or more of its members, to include the
Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, if the Chief Executive
Officer is a member of the Board of Directors, who shall constitute the
Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee shall
have and may exercise all of the powers of the Board of Directors as may be
lawfully delegated in the management of the business and affairs of the
Corporation and shall have the power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to
be affixed to all papers which may require it. The Board of Directors may
designate one or more of its members as alternate members of the Executive
Committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of
the Executive Committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of the
Executive Committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and
not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may
unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the
meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member; provided
however, that in no event shall the Executive Committee have the authority to
consider or act upon matters concerning United States Government security.
Section 5. The Board of Directors may, by resolution or resolutions passed by a
majority of the whole Board, designate one or more additional committees
consisting of two or more of the directors of the Corporation. Such additional
committee or committees shall have and may exercise such powers and shall have
such names as are provided in said resolution or resolutions.
Section 6. The committees shall keep regular minutes of their proceedings and
report the same to the Board when required.
Advisory Directors
Section 7. The Board of Directors may appoint advisory directors whose
experience and knowledge would be useful to the Board, said advisory directors
to be former members of the Board or current stockholders. Such advisory
directors shall be no more than four in number and shall serve at the pleasure
of the Board, with terms expiring as of each annual meeting of stockholders.
Advisory directors shall be given notice of and may attend meetings of the Board
of Directors but shall not be considered members of the Board of Directors.
Advisory directors shall have no right to vote and shall not be counted in
determining whether a quorum is present at any meeting. Advisory directors shall
not be charged with responsibilities, nor shall they be subject to the
liabilities of directors. An advisory director may be appointed as an advisory
member of any committee of the Board.
Compensation of Directors and Advisory Directors
Section 8. Directors or advisory directors, as such, shall not receive any
stated salary for their services but, by resolution of the Board, may be allowed
an annual retainer fee and/or a fixed sum for attendance at each regular or
special meeting of the Board, together with any expenses of attendance; provided
that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director or
advisory director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and
receiving compensation therefor.
Section 9. Members of special or standing committees may, by resolution of the
Board, be allowed an annual retainer fee and/or a fixed sum for attending
committee meetings, together with any expenses of attendance.
Meetings of the Board
Section 10. The first meeting of the Board after each annual meeting of
stockholders shall be held at such time and place either within or without the
State of Delaware as shall be fixed by the vote of the stockholders at the
annual meeting or by the Board of Directors prior to the annual meeting, and no
notice of such meeting shall be necessary to the newly elected directors in
order legally to constitute the meeting, provided a quorum shall be present, or
they may meet at such place and time as shall be fixed by the consent in writing
of all the directors.
Section 11. Regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such
time and place either within or without the State of Delaware as shall from time
to time be determined by the Board.
Section 12. Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman of the
Board or by the President on one day’s notice to each director, either
personally or by mail or by telegram; special meetings shall be called by the
Chairman of the Board or the President or the Secretary in like manner and on
like notice on the written request of two directors.
Section 13. At all meetings of the Board, the presence of four directors, or, if
fewer, a majority of the whole Board, shall be necessary and sufficient to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority
of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the
act of the Board of Directors, except as otherwise specifically provided by
statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws. If a quorum shall
not be present at any meeting of directors, the directors present thereat may
adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at
the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.
Section 14. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or
these By-Laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of
the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a
meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent
thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of
proceedings of the Board or committee.
Section 15. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or
these By-Laws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee, may
participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means
of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which
all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such
participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meetings.
ARTICLE IV
Reimbursement and Indemnification of
Officers, Directors, and Advisory Directors
Section 1. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was or has agreed to become a director,
advisory director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director,
advisory director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or by reason of any
action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against costs,
charges, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection with such action, suit, or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful.
Section 2. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that he is or was or has agreed to become a director,
advisory director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director,
advisory director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or by reason of any
action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against costs,
charges, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such costs, charges, and expenses which the
Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 3. Notwithstanding the other provisions of these By-Laws, to the extent
that a director, advisory director, officer, employee, or agent of the
Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without
limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any
action, suit, or proceeding referred to in this Article IV or in defense of any
claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against all costs,
charges, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.
Section 4. Any indemnification under these By-Laws (unless ordered by a court)
shall be made by the Corporation unless a determination is made that
indemnification of the director, advisory director, officer, employee, or agent
is not proper in the circumstances, because he has not met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in these By-Laws. Such determination may be made
(1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if
such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of
disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
Section 5. Costs, charges, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by
a person referred to in this Article IV in defending a civil or criminal action,
suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding; provided, however, that the
payment of such costs, charges, and expenses incurred by a director, advisory
director, or officer in his capacity as a director, advisory director, or
officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered while
a director, advisory director, or officer) in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit, or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director, advisory director, or officer to
repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
authorized in this Article IV. Such costs, charges, and expenses incurred by
other employees and agents maybe so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any,
as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may, in the
manner set forth above, and upon approval of such director, advisory director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, authorize the Corporation’s
counsel to represent such person in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether or
not the Corporation is a party to such action, suit, or proceeding.
Section 6. Any indemnification or advance of costs, charges, and expenses under
these By-Laws shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days, upon the
written request of the director, advisory director, officer, employee, or agent.
The right to indemnification or advances as granted by these By-Laws shall be
enforceable by the director, advisory director, officer, employee, or agent in
any court of competent jurisdiction, if the Corporation denies such request, in
whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within 60 days. Such
person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully
establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such
action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to
any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance
of costs, charges, and expenses under Section 5 of this Article IV where the
required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the
claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in these By-Laws, but the
burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure
of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal
counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action that the indemnification of the claimant is proper
in the circumstances, because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in these By-Laws, or the fact that there has been an actual determination
by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal
counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption
that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 7. The rights of indemnity provided in these By-Laws shall not be deemed
exclusive, and the Corporation may, by contract, the Certificate of
Incorporation, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise,
further indemnify directors, advisory directors, officers, employees, or agents
of the Corporation to the full extent permitted under the laws of the State of
Delaware or any other applicable laws, now or hereafter in effect, both as to
matters in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office, and the provisions of these By-Laws shall inure to
the benefit of a person who has ceased to be a director, advisory director,
officer, employee, or agent and to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and
administrators of such a person. All rights to indemnification under these
By-Laws shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each
director, advisory director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation who
serves or served in such capacity at any time while these By-Laws are in effect.
Any repeal or modification of these By-Laws or any repeal or modification of
relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other
applicable laws shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification of
such director, advisory director, officer, employee, or agent or the obligations
of the Corporation arising hereunder.
Section 8. The foregoing rights shall be available in respect of any claim,
action, suit, or proceeding whether or not based upon matters which antedate the
adoption or amendment of these By-Laws.
Section 9. If this Article IV or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any
ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall
nevertheless indemnify each director, advisory director, officer, employee, and
agent of the Corporation as to costs, charges, expenses (including attorneys’
fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
arbitrative, or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the
Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of these
By-Laws that shall not have been so invalidated and to the full extent permitted
by applicable law.

office or letter box, in a post-paid sealed wrapper, addressed to such director

fide sale after the holder thereof has first offered in writing to sell the
share to the corporation at the same price and under substantially the same

by the Secretary of the corporation or has refused to proceed to a closing on
the transaction within a reasonable time after such acceptance; provided,

VI. FUNDING
At the beginning of the Plan Year executive management establishes,
subject to approval by the Committee, the amount of the total bonus
award pool which includes the payment of Executive Incentive Plan
awards for that year. This amount represents the maximum amount that
can be paid to bonus participants unless Plan financial performance
exceeds Plan financial objectives. The definition of Plan financial
objectives is those organizational financial metrics approved by the
CEO or Compensation Committee at the beginning of the Plan Year.
The Award Pool will be accrued ratably on a monthly basis during the
Plan Year. The accrual amount will be reviewed quarterly and adjusted
as necessary to reflect the most recent projections of actual financial
performance versus budgeted performance and additions to, deletions
from or other changes in Plan participation.
VII. AWARDS
Target Awards ranging from 30% to 70% (in 5% increments) of Base Salary
will be established for each participant at the beginning of each Plan
Year. These targets will be divided into financial and individual
performance components and weighted as shown below in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Weighting of Performance Measurement Components
DynCorp SBA SBU
Financial Financial Financial Individual
Description Performance Performance Performance Performance
Corporate
Participants 80% 20%
SBA Participants 20% 60% 20%
SBU Participants 20% 60% 20%
Target award recommendations will be submitted for review and approval
in accordance with procedures established by the Senior Vice President,
Human Resources and Administration, to achieve the approvals described
in Section IV of the Plan.
At the end of the Plan Year, performance against pre-established
financial and individual objectives, as described in Section VIII, will
be calculated to develop financial and individual performance factors.
These factors will reflect the level, expressed as a percentage, of
attainment of each objective. These performance factors will be
multiplied by the appropriate weighting for each objective.
The results of these calculations then will be added to determine the
percentage of the Target Award payable to each participant. Payment of
the calculated award is subject to performance exceeding Threshold
performance as described in Section V. (Exhibit I of the Plan shows
detailed examples of award calculations.)
A bonus due to a participant hired after the beginning of the Plan Year
will be prorated based upon the number of months employed by the
Company as a percentage of the full year.
With the exception of disability, retirement or death, participants
must be employed (on the active payroll) on the date the awards are
paid in order to receive an incentive award. However, at its sole
discretion, the Compensation Committee may approve an award to a former
employee, or to the former employee’s estate, in such amount as deemed
appropriate.
VIII. PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT COMPONENTS
In order to reinforce the importance of DynCorp executives achieving a
balanced performance against financial and non-financial criteria,
incentive awards under the Plan will be based on team and individual
achievements in two or more of the following three areas:
A. The Financial Performance of DynCorp:
DynCorp’s financial success is the key determinant of its
ongoing viability as an independent business entity. In
recognition of this, a portion of each Corporate and SBA level
participant’s award will be based on DynCorp’s performance
against its financial objective.
This objective, which will be recommended by the CEO, and
approved by the Committee at the beginning of each Plan Year,
may be comprised of one or more financial measurements. The
measurement may be changed each Plan Year to properly reflect
DynCorp’s strategic objectives. Further, the financial
objective will be established at a level that will require
above average performance from the management team to achieve
it.
B. The Financial Performance of the Organizational Unit:
For non-Corporate participants, the financial performance of
the SBA or SBU in which they have the most direct control and
accountability, will be given the heaviest weighting in order
to motivate and reward participants for financial.
Financial objectives established for each SBA and SBU will be
measurable and consistent with the overall strategic goals of
the SBA. SBA and SBU financial objectives generally will be
expressed in terms of RONA, Revenue, Operating Profit and/or
DSO. Moreover, as with the DynCorp financial objective, they
will be established at a level that will require above average
performance from the management team to achieve them.
C. The Individual Performance of the Participant:
Individual performance will be measured in terms of
performance against pre-established objectives and the
participant’s manager’s subjective judgment of overall
individual performance. Performance against objectives must
comprise at least 50% of the individual performance factor.
Individual objectives should be established according to the
following guidelines:
1. Each participant will have 4-6 written objectives
that have been jointly agreed to by the participant
and the participant’s supervisor.
2. Objectives will evolve from, respond to and/or
reflect the Company objectives established and
communicated by the CEO. Objectives covering the
following areas may typically be included:
o Key operational objectives
o Human resources management
o Quality and process improvement
o Business development
o Customer satisfaction
3. Objectives will be both quantitative and qualitative
in nature and will include non-financial as well as
appropriate financial related goals.
4. Objectives will be highly measurable and within the
control of the participant.
X. AWARD DETERMINATION
Awards will be calculated by:
1) multiplying the appropriate Financial and Individual Performance
Factors by the weighting assigned to corresponding performance
components as determined in Table 1 above,
2) adding the resulting percentages together to determine a composite
percentage that represents overall achievement against expectations,
and
3) then multiplying the target award amount by the composite percentage.
The award payable for any single component for any participant may
range from 0 to 150% of the established target amount for the
component.
Actual award amounts will be rounded to the nearest $100.00.
If the performance achievement level on any of the approved financial
performance factors falls below the Threshold level, the participant
will not generally receive an award for that component. However, the
CEO may on a discretionary basis recommend the payment of an award
where unusual or extraordinary circumstances contributed to the below
Threshold performance. If the combined weighted achievement level for
all applicable financial performance measurements is less than the
Threshold level, the award for the individual performance component
shall also be at the discretion of the CEO and the Committee.
Should a participant transfer to another organization during the Plan
Year, the final award will be jointly determined and prorated for the
time spent in each organization.
All incentive awards proposed under the Plan are subject to the
approval of the CEO and the Committee, who may at their discretion
adjust the amounts to be awarded in order to reflect exceptional
performance, performance that falls below objectives or other
performance factors that affect or potentially affect the ability of
the Company or any of its units to meet its business and financial
goals.
XI. YEAR-END ADMINISTRATION
Initial actual award recommendations will be calculated at the SBA and
Corporate levels and submitted in accordance with procedures
established by the Senior Vice President, Human Resources and
Administration, for Company level consolidation and submission to the
CEO. Documentation of objectives, accomplishments and individual
evaluations will be required to be submitted along with the individual
award recommendations. Financial performance will be reviewed by the
CFO as soon as the results for the Plan Year are available. Initial
actual award recommendations will be adjusted as necessary based on
this review to reflect the actual financial performance. The adjusted
recommendations will be submitted by the CEO to the Committee for
approval.
Effective with the Plan Year beginning 1996 and thereafter, a portion
of each award payable will be paid in the form of DynCorp Common Stock.
Twenty percent of the total award will be paid in the aggregate in the
form of stock and withholding taxes and Savings and Retirement Plan
(SARP) deferrals due thereon. The remaining 80% of the award, net of
any reductions by reason of the Key Executives Share-Option
Compensation Plan, will be paid in the aggregate in cash, withholding
taxes and SARP deferrals.
Bonus award payments are made following approval by the Compensation
Committee at its annual spring meeting.
Nothing in the Plan or in any action taken hereunder shall constitute
any contract of employment or affect the Company’s right to terminate
at any time and for any reason the employment of any employee who is a
participant in the Plan.

are designated as “officers” for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
(e) COMMITTEE’S DECISIONS FINAL. Any determination, decision or action of the
Committee in connection with the construction, interpretation, administration or
application of the Plan, and of any grant agreement, shall be final, conclusive
and binding upon all Participants, and all persons claiming through
Participants, affected thereby.
(f) ADMINISTRATIVE ACCOUNTS. For the purpose of accounting for Awards deferred
as to payment, the Company shall establish bookkeeping accounts expressed in
Units bearing the name of each Participant receiving such Awards. Each account
shall be unfunded, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance
with Section 15(d) of the Plan.
(g) CERTIFICATIONS. In respect of each grant under the Plan to a Covered Person
which the Committee intends to be “performance based compensation” under Section
162(m) of the Code, the provisions of the Plan and the related grant agreement
shall be construed to confirm such intent, and to conform to the requirements of
Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Committee shall certify in writing (which
writing may include approved minutes of a meeting of the Committee) that the
applicable Performance Goal(s), determined using the Performance Measure
specified in the related grant agreement, was attained during the relevant
Performance Period at a level that equaled or exceeded the level required for
the payment of such Award in the amount proposed to be paid and that such Award
does not exceed any applicable Plan limitation.
6. STOCK OPTIONS.
(a) IN GENERAL. Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted under
the Plan and may be Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options;
provided however, that Incentive Stock Option may not be granted until the Plan
has been approved by the stockholders of the Company. All Stock Options shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6 and shall contain such
additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of
the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. Stock Options may be granted in
addition to, or in tandem with or independent of Stock Appreciation Rights or
other grants and Awards under the Plan. The Committee may grant Stock Options
that provide for the automatic grant of a replacement Stock Option if payment of
the exercise price and/or any related withholding taxes is made by tendering
(whether by physical delivery or by attestation) shares of Common Stock or by
having shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company. The replacement Stock
Option would cover the number of shares of Common Stock tendered or withheld,
would have a per share exercise price equal to at least 100% of the Fair Market
Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the exercise of the original
Stock Option, and would have such other terms and conditions as may be specified
by the Committee and set forth in the related grant agreement.
(b) ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS. Any Director of the Company and any Employee of
the Company or a Subsidiary may be granted Stock Options. The Committee shall
determine, in its discretion, the Employees to whom Stock Options will be
granted, the timing of such grants, and the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to each Stock Option granted; provided, that, in respect of Incentive
Stock Options, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the
Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to
which an Incentive Stock Option becomes exercisable for the first time by a
Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000, or such other
limit as may be required by the Code, except that, if authorized by the
Committee and provided for in the related grant agreement, any portion of any
Incentive Stock Option that cannot be exercised as such because of this
limitation may be converted into and exercised as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
In no event shall any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right be granted to a
Participant in exchange for the Participant’s agreement to the cancellation of
one or more Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights then held by such
Participant if the exercise price of the new grant is lower than the exercise
price of the grant to be cancelled and in no event shall any Stock Option or
Stock Appreciation Right be amended to reduce the option price, except as
contemplated by Section 4(b) of the Plan.
(c) OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. The per share exercise price of each Stock Option
granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee prior to or at the
time of grant, but in no event shall the per share exercise price of any Stock
Option be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
date of the grant of such Stock Option.
(d) OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee;
except that in no event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option exceed ten
years after the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.
(e) EXERCISABILITY. A Stock Option shall be exercisable at such time or times
and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee
at the date of grant; provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be
exercisable during the first six months after the date such Stock Option is
granted. No Stock Option may be exercised unless the holder thereof is at the
time of such exercise an Employee is and has been continuously an Employee since
the date such Stock Option was granted, except as provided below and except that
the Committee may permit the exercise of any Stock Option for any period (not to
exceed 90 days in the case of an Incentive Stock Option except in case of the
Participant’s death or disability) following the Participant’s termination of
employment not in excess of the original term of the Stock Option on such terms
and conditions as it shall deem appropriate and specify in the related grant
agreement.
A Stock Option may only be exercised by the Participant or, in the case of the
Participant’s death or disability, by the Participant’s estate or other legal
representative.
Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Stock Option may only be exercised
within (i) 360 days following the Participant’s retirement on or after age [65],
in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option; (ii) 90 days following the
Participant’s retirement on or after age [65], in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option; and (iii) 180 days following termination by reason of death or
disability.
(f) METHOD OF EXERCISE. A Stock Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by
giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares
of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the purchase price, plus any required withholding taxes, in cash or, to
the extent permitted by law, in shares of Common Stock already owned by the
Participant valued at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of
exercise. The Committee may also permit Participants, either on a selective or
aggregate basis, to simultaneously exercise Stock Options and sell the shares of
Common Stock thereby acquired pursuant to a brokerage or similar arrangement
approved in advance by the Committee and to use the proceeds from such sale to
pay the exercise price and withholding taxes.
7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
(a) IN GENERAL. Stock Appreciation Rights in respect of shares of Common Stock
may be granted under the Plan alone, in tandem with, in addition to or
independent of a Stock Option or other grant or Award under the Plan. A Stock
Appreciation Right entitles a Participant to receive an amount equal to the
excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of
exercise over the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of
grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, or such other higher price as may be set
by the Committee, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised.
(b) ELIGIBILITY. Any Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary selected by the
Committee may be granted Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee shall
determine, in its discretion, the Employees to whom Stock Appreciation Rights
will be granted, the timing of such grants and the number of shares of Common
Stock in respect of which each Stock Appreciation Right is granted.
(c) EXERCISABILITY; EXERCISE; FORM OF PAYMENT. A Stock Appreciation Right may be
exercised by a Participant at such time or times and in such manner as shall be
authorized by the Committee and set forth in the related grant agreement, except
that in no event shall a Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable within the
first six months after the date of grant. The Committee may provide that a Stock
Appreciation Right shall be automatically exercised on one or more specified
dates.
No Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised unless the holder thereof is at the
time of exercise an Employee and has been continuously an Employee since the
date the Stock Appreciation Right was granted, except that the Committee may
permit the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right for any period following the
Participant’s termination of employment not in excess of the original term of
the Stock Appreciation Right on such terms and conditions as it shall deem
appropriate and specify in the related grant agreement. A Stock Appreciation
Right may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving the Company a written
notice specifying the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which the
Stock Appreciation Right is to be exercised. Stock Appreciation Rights may be
paid upon exercise in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or in any combination of
cash and shares of Common Stock as determined by the Committee.
8. RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS AND AWARDS.
(a) IN GENERAL. A Restricted Stock Grant is the issue of shares of Common Stock
in the name of an Employee, which issuance is subject to such terms and
conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate, including, without
limitation, restrictions on the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition
of such shares and the requirement that the Employee forfeit such shares back to
the Company (i) upon termination of employment for specified reasons within a
specified period of time, or (ii) if any specified Performance Goals are not
achieved during a specified Performance Period, or (iii) if such other
conditions as the Committee may specify are not satisfied.
(b) ELIGIBILITY. Any Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary selected by the
Committee may receive a Restricted Stock Grant. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine whether a Restricted Stock Grant shall be made, the
Employee to receive the Restricted Stock Grant, and the conditions and
restrictions imposed on the Restricted Stock Grant.
(c) RESTRICTION PERIOD. Restricted Stock Grants shall provide that in order for
a Participant to receive shares of Common Stock free of restrictions, the
Participant must remain in the employment of the Company or its Subsidiaries,
subject to such exceptions as the Committee shall deem appropriate and specify
in the related grant agreement, for a period of not less than three years
commencing on the date of the grant and ending on such later date or dates as
the Committee may designate at the time of the grant (the “Restriction Period”).
The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of restrictions
in installments during the Restriction Period. The Committee may also establish
one or more Performance Goals that are required to be achieved during one or
more Performance Periods within the Restriction Period as a condition to the
lapse of the restrictions.
(d) RESTRICTIONS. The following restrictions and conditions shall apply to each
Restricted Stock Grant during the Restriction Period: (i) the Participant shall
not be entitled to delivery of the shares of the Common Stock; (ii) the
Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or
otherwise dispose of or realize on the shares of Common Stock subject to the
Restricted Stock Grant; and (iii) the shares of the Common Stock issued as
Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company if the Participant for any
reason ceases to be an Employee prior to the end of the Restriction Period,
except due to circumstances specified in the related grant agreement or
otherwise approved by the Committee. The Committee may in, its sole discretion,
include such other restrictions and conditions as it may deem appropriate.
(e) PAYMENT. Upon expiration of the Restriction Period and if all conditions
have been satisfied and any applicable Performance Goals attained, the shares of
the Restricted Stock will be made available to the Participant, subject to
satisfaction of applicable withholding tax requirements, free of all
restrictions; provided, that the Committee may, in its discretion, require (i)
the further deferral of any Restricted Stock Grant beyond the initially
specified Restriction Period, (ii) that the Restricted Stock be retained by the
Company, and (iii) that the Participant receive a cash payment in lieu of
unrestricted shares of Common Stock.
(f) RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. A Participant shall have, with respect to shares of
Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including
the right to vote the shares and receive any cash dividends paid thereon. Stock
dividends distributed with respect to shares of Restricted Stock shall be
treated as additional shares under the Restricted Stock Grant and shall be
subject to the restrictions and other terms and conditions set forth therein.
9. PERFORMANCE GRANTS AND AWARDS.
(a) ELIGIBILITY AND TERMS. The Committee may grant to Employees of the Company
and its Subsidiaries the prospective contingent right, expressed in Units, to
receive payments of shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination thereof,
with each Unit equivalent in value to one share of Common Stock, or equivalent
to such other value or monetary amount as may be designated or established by
the Committee, based upon Company performance over a specified Performance
Period. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the officers of
the Company and other key Employees eligible to receive Performance Grants. At
the time each Performance Grant is made, the Committee shall establish the
Performance Period, the Performance Measure, and the Performance Goals to be
attained relative to such Performance Measure in respect of such Performance
Grant. The number of shares of Common Stock and/or the amount of cash earned and
payable in settlement of a Performance Grant shall be determined at the end of
the Performance Period (a “Performance Award”).
(b) PERFORMANCE GOALS, PERFORMANCE MEASURES, AND PERFORMANCE PERIODS. Each
Performance Grant shall provide that, in order for a Participant to receive an
Award of all or a portion of the Units subject to such Performance Grant, the
Company must achieve certain Performance Goals over a designated Performance
Period having a minimum duration of one year, with attainment of the Performance
Goals determined using a specific Performance Measure. The Performance Goals and
Performance Period shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion.
The Committee shall establish a Performance Measure for each Performance Period
for determining the portion of the Performance Grant which will be earned or
forfeited based on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved or
exceeded. In setting Performance Goals, the Committee may use a Performance
Measure based on any one, or on any combination, of the following Company
performance factors as the Committee deems appropriate: (i) stock price; (ii)
earnings per share, (iii) Cumulative Net Income Per Share; (iv) Cumulative Net
Income; (v) return on sales; (vi) total shareholder return; (vii) return on
assets; (viii) economic value added; (ix) cash flow; (x) return on equity; and
(xi) cumulative operating income (which shall equal consolidated sales minus
cost of goods sold and selling, administrative and general expense). Performance
Goals may include minimum, maximum and target levels of performance, with the
size of Performance Award based on the level attained. Once established by the
Committee and specified in the grant agreement, and if and to the extent
provided in or required by the grant agreement, the Performance Goals and the
Performance Measure in respect of any Performance Grant (or any Restricted Stock
Grant or Stock-Based Grant that requires the attainment of Performance Goals as
a condition to the Award) shall not be changed. The Committee may, in its
discretion, eliminate or reduce (but not increase) the amount of any Performance
Award (or Restricted Stock or Stock-Based Award) that otherwise would be payable
to a Participant upon attainment of the Performance Goal(s).
(c) FORM OF GRANTS. Performance Grants may be made on such terms and conditions
not inconsistent with the Plan, and in such form or forms, as the Committee may
from time to time approve. Performance Grants may be made alone, in addition to
in tandem with, or independent of other grants and Awards under the Plan.
Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall, in its discretion,
determine the number of Units subject to each Performance Grant made to a
Participant and the Committee may impose different terms and conditions on any
particular Performance Grant made to any Participant. The Performance Goals, the
Performance Period or Periods, and the Performance Measure applicable to a
Performance Grant shall be set forth in the relevant grant agreement.
(d) PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Each Participant shall be entitled to receive payment in
an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value (if the Unit is equivalent to
a share of Common Stock), or such other value as the Committee shall specify, of
the Units earned in respect of such Performance Award. Payment in settlement of
a Performance Award may be made in shares of Common Stock, in cash, or in any
combination of Common Stock and cash, and at such time or times, as the
Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.
10. OTHER STOCK-BASED GRANTS AND AWARDS.
(a) IN GENERAL. The Committee may make other Stock-Based Grants pursuant to
which Common Stock is, or in the future may be, acquired by Participants, and
other grants and Awards to Participants denominated in Common Stock Equivalents
or other Units. Such Stock-Based Grants may be granted alone or in addition to,
in tandem with, or independent of any other grant made or Award effected under
the Plan.
(b) ELIGIBILITY AND TERMS. The Committee may make Stock-Based Grants to
Directors of the Company and Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority to
determine the Employees to whom, and the time or times at which, Stock-Based
Grants will be made, the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, to be subject
to or covered by each Stock-Based Grant, and any and all other terms and
conditions of each Stock-Based Grant.
(c) FORM OF GRANTS; PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Stock-Based Grants may be made in such
form or forms and on such terms and conditions, including the attainment of
specific Performance Goals, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall approve.
Payment of Stock-Based Awards may be made in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or
in any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, and at such time or
times, as the Committee shall determine.
11. DEFERRALS.
The Committee may, whether at the time of grant or at anytime thereafter prior
to payment or settlement, require a Participant to defer, or permit (subject to
such conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish) a Participant
to elect to defer, receipt of all or any portion of any payment of cash or
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be due to such Participant in
payment or settlement of any Award under the Plan. If any such deferral is
required by the Committee (or is elected by the Participant with the permission
of the Committee), the Committee shall establish rules and procedures for such
payment deferrals. The Committee may provide for the payment or crediting of
interest, at such rate or rates as it shall in its discretion deem appropriate,
on such deferred amounts credited in cash and the payment or crediting of
dividend equivalents in respect of deferred amounts credited in Common Stock
Equivalents. Deferred amounts may be paid in a lump sum or in installments in
the manner and to the extent permitted, and in accordance with rules and
procedures established, by the Committee.
12. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF GRANTS AND AWARDS.
No grant or Award under the Plan, and no right or interest therein, shall be (i)
assignable, alienable or transferable by a Participant, except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) subject to any obligation, or the lien
or claims of any creditor, of any Participant, or (iii) subject to any lien,
encumbrance or claim of any party made in respect of or through any Participant,
however arising. During the lifetime of a Participant, Stock Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights are exercisable only by, and shares of Common Stock issued
upon the exercise of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or in
settlement of other Awards will be issued only to, and other payments in
settlement of any Award will be payable only to, the Participant or his or her
legal representative.
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, authorize written designations of
beneficiaries and authorize Participants to designate beneficiaries with the
authority to exercise Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a
Participant in the event of his or her death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion and on and subject to such terms and
conditions as it shall deem appropriate, which terms and conditions shall be set
forth in the related grant agreement: (i) authorize a Participant to transfer
all or a portion of any Non-Qualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right,
as the case may be, granted to such Participant; provided, that in no event
shall any transfer be made to any person or persons other than such
Participant’s spouse, children or grandchildren, or a trust for the exclusive
benefit of one or more such persons, which transfer must be made as a gift and
without any consideration; and (ii) provide for the transferability of a
particular grant or Award pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. All
other transfers and any retransfer by any permitted transferee are prohibited
and any such purported transfer shall be null and void. Each Stock Option or
Stock Appreciation Right which becomes the subject of permitted transfer (and
the Participant to whom it was granted by the Company) shall continue to be
subject to the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to
such permitted transfer. The Participant shall remain responsible to the Company
for the payment of all withholding taxes incurred as a result of any exercise of
such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right.
In no event shall any permitted transfer of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation
Right create any right in any party in respect of any Stock Option, Stock
Appreciation Right or other grant or Award, other than the rights of the
qualified transferee in respect of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right
specified in the related grant agreement.
13. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, except as the Board of
Directors comprised of a majority of Continuing Directors may expressly provide
otherwise, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary:
(i) all Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding shall
become fully exercisable as of the date of the Change in Control, whether or not
then exercisable; (ii) all restrictions and conditions in respect of all
Restricted Stock Grants then outstanding shall be deemed satisfied as of the
date of the Change in Control; and (iii) all Performance Grants and other
Stock-Based Grants shall be deemed to have been fully earned, at the maximum
amount of the award opportunity specified in the grant agreement, as of the date
of the Change in Control.
14. GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) EFFECT ON EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation, nor
any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof) shall
confer upon any individual any right to continued employment with the Company or
in any way affect any right and power of the Company to terminate the employment
of any employee at any time with or without assigning a reason thereof.
(b) UNFUNDED PLAN. The Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be
unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may
at any time be represented by grants under this Plan. Any liability of the
Company to any person with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based
solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to this
Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by a
pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.
(c) RULES OF CONSTRUCTION. Headings are given to the sections of this Plan
solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The reference to any statute,
regulation, or other provision of law shall be construed to refer to any
amendment to or successor of such provision of law.
(d) NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE. No grant or Award shall impose any obligation
upon the Participant to exercise such grant or Award.
(e) GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of
Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules, regulations,
determinations or decisions made by the Compensation Committee relating to the
Plan or such Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or
claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined
exclusively in accordance with applicable federal laws and the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

discretion, by the Administrative Committee to any eligible Employee at
any time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the termination of
the Plan, as determined by the Administrative Committee. (No Employee,
even if an eligible Employee, shall have any entitlement to a grant of
Share-Options; grants are within the discretion of the Administrative
Committee.) A Share-Option is granted as follows:
(a) Participation. The Administrative Committee will notify an eligible
Employee that he or she is eligible to participate in the Plan. If the
Employee desires to participate, the Employee and Employer will execute
a written Share-Option Agreement, substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit A, in which they mutually agree that a fixed dollar amount
or a fixed percentage of the Employee’s future bonus payments or future
salary payments will be exchanged for options to buy Shares
(“Share-Options”) that have a Fair Market Value, at the Grant Date,
equal to one and one-third (1-1/3) times the amount of the salary or
bonus payments so exchanged, and in which they mutually agree as to the
type(s) of Shares upon which the Share-Options will be granted, at an
Exercise Price set by the Administrative Committee.
(b) Changes in Participation. An Employee’s election relating to future
bonus payments shall be irrevocable for the bonus year for which the
election is made. An Employee’s election relating to future salary
payments may be changed, upon execution by the Employee and the
Employer of a revised Share-Option Agreement setting for such changed
election, and will become effective with the first practicable
following pay period. If an election change relating to salary payments
is reduced so as to cease exchanging any current salary payments for
Share-Options, the Employee may not make any further election as to
salary payments until the fiscal quarter following such change.
(c) Addendum. The Employer will, as soon as practicable, prepare and
periodically update an Addendum to the Share-Option Agreement, which
shall reflect the amount or percentage of compensation to be exchanged
for Share-Options rather than cash, and specify the number of Shares
subject to the Share-Option Agreement, the Exercise Price of the
Share-Options as of the Grant Date, and such other terms and in such
form as the Administrative Committee may from time to time determine in
accordance with the Plan. The Administrative Committee may establish a
policy, which sets forth a maximum and/or minimum number of
Share-Options allowed to be granted to a Participant during any
calendar year; provided that any maximum number shall not include
substitutions pursuant to Section 3.5.
(d) Effect of Dividends and Distributions with Respect to Shares.
(1) Cash Dividends and Distributions. The Employer agrees to
reinvest all cash dividends and distributions received in cash
with respect to Shares in additional property of the same kind
(or as nearly the same kind as feasible, if property of the
same kind is not available). Any Shares acquired through
reinvestment will immediately be subject to Share-Options in
favor of the Participant which are granted pursuant to the
Share-Option Agreement that pertains to the Shares on which
the dividends or distributions were made.
(2) Noncash Distributions or Similar Transaction. In the event
of a Shares dividend, Shares split, reverse Shares split,
rights offering, recapitalization or similar transaction that
materially affects the Fair Market Value of the Shares, the
Administrative Committee shall adjust the Exercise Price so
that it retains the same ratio to the Fair Market Value of the
Shares as existed immediately before such transaction.
3.3 Exercise Price.
(a) Upon a request to exercise any Share-Option(s), the Exercise Price
required to be paid by the Participant shall be the greater of (i) the
Exercise Price initially set in the Share-Option Agreement as of the
Grant Date, or (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Fair Market Value
of the Share(s) on the Exercise Date. The initial Exercise Price in
effect as of the effective date of this Plan is twenty-five percent
(25%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the
Administrative Committee may, in its discretion, charge reasonable
administrative costs of the Plan to individual Participants by
adjusting the Exercise Price of Share-Options, reducing the number of
Shares subject to Share-Options, or by other means in its discretion.
3.4 Purchase of Property Subject to Share-Option. Upon the grant of
Share-Options to a Participant, the Employer shall acquire an amount of Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the Intrinsic Value of the aggregate
Share-Options. The Employer shall contribute such amount of Shares to the Trust
established in accordance with Article VII. At the time the Shares are
contributed to the Trust, and at the time the Share-Options are exercised, the
Shares acquired by the Employer pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be
subject to any security interest, whether or not perfected, or to any
Share-Options or contract under which any other person may acquire any interest
in them. Additional Shares required to be delivered at the time of exercise of
the Share-Options may be acquired in the open market by the Trustees, utilizing
proceeds from the Exercise Price payment.
3.5 Substitution of Share-Option Shares. The Administrative Committee may, in
its discretion and at the request of a Participant, cancel outstanding
Share-Options and issue substitute Share-Options on different types of Shares,
provided that the Shares of the substitute Share-Options are of equal aggregate
Fair Market Value as that of the Shares of the original Share-Options as of the
date of substitution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, a
substitution of Share-Options pursuant to this paragraph shall be made no more
than one time during any fiscal quarter, or at additional times upon special
circumstances as determined by the Administrative Committee. Upon a change in
Shares pursuant to this paragraph, the Employer shall cause the Trust to dispose
of the old Shares and acquire and contribute to the Trust new Shares having the
same Fair Market Value (taken as of the Grant Date of the new Share-Options) as
the old Shares. This transaction shall be treated as a new grant of
Share-Options. The Intrinsic Value of the old Share-Options will in all cases
equal the Intrinsic Value of the new Share-Options on the date of substitution.
3.6 Designation of Beneficiary. In the Share-Option Agreement, the Participant
shall designate one or more Beneficiaries and successor Beneficiaries, and the
Participant may change a Beneficiary designation at any time, by filing the
prescribed form with the Administrative Committee. The consent of the
Participant’s current Beneficiary shall not be required for a change of
Beneficiary. No Beneficiary shall have any rights under the Plan or a
Share-Option Agreement during the lifetime of the Participant, except as may
otherwise be provided in herein.
A Participant who dies without having designated a Beneficiary in
accordance with this Section 3.6 shall be deemed to have named the Participant’s
estate as Beneficiary.
3.7 General Non-Transferability. No Share-Option granted under this Plan may be
transferred, assigned, or alienated (whether by operation of law or otherwise),
except as provided herein, and no Share-Option shall be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process. A Share-Option may be exercised only by a
Participant.
3.8 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.7, a
Participant may at any time prior to death, assign a Share-Option to the
Participant’s spouse, lineal and/or collateral descendants, a trust for the
benefit of the Participant’s spouse and/or lineal descendants, or a partnership
of which the Participant’s spouse and/or lineal descendants are the only
partners, subject to approval by the Administrative Committee. Any such
assignment shall be permitted only if an assignment is expressly permitted in
the Share-Option Agreement, or approved in writing by the Administrative
Committee, and the Participant receives no consideration for the assignment. Any
such assignment shall be evidenced by an appropriate written document executed
by the Participant, and delivered to the Administrative Committee on or before
the effective date of the assignment. In the event of such assignment, the
spouse, lineal or collateral descendant, partnership or trustee of the trust
shall be entitled to all of the rights of the Participant under Section 4.3 with
respect to the assigned Share-Option, and such Share-Option shall continue to be
subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the
Share-Option, as set forth in the Plan and the Share-Option Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
EXERCISE OF SHARE-OPTION
4.1 Exercise Period. A Participant may exercise a Share-Option pursuant to
Section 4.3 at any time during the period beginning on the earlier of (i) the
date which is six (6) months after the initial Grant Date (disregarding a
subsequent Grant Date caused by substitution of Shares pursuant to Section 3.5)
or (ii) the date of a Change of Control and ending on the earliest of:
(a) ninety (90) days after the Participant’s Termination for Cause or
other Termination of Employment for reasons other than described in
Section 4.1(b) below; or
(b) fifteen (15) years after the Grant Date for active Employees,
Participants who have incurred a Termination of Employment by reason of
retirement, disability, death or an involuntary termination which is
not a Termination for Cause, or such later time as is approved by the
Administrative Committee.
If a Participant fails to exercise a Share-Option within the Exercise
Period, then the Share-Option expires and the Participant or his Beneficiary
loses any rights he or she had with respect to the Share-Option. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) except in the case of a Share-Option outstanding as of a
Change of Control, the Exercise Period shall not commence earlier than six
months following the Grant Date and, (ii) in the event of the Participant’s
death, the Exercise Period shall not expire earlier than one year following the
date of the Participant’s death.
4.2 Notice. The Administrative Committee shall cause notice to be provided to
the Participant that Share-Options are set to expire. Such notice shall be given
approximately six months prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period, if
known and otherwise, as soon as practicable. The required notice will be a
written notice and will list the Shares subject to the Share-Option and the date
on which the Share-Option Exercise Period would expire. Failure to give or
receive notice with respect to a Share-Option will not in any way extend the
Exercise Period of the Share-Option or increase a Participant’s rights with
respect to the Share-Option.
4.3 Share-Option Exercise. A Participant may exercise a Share-Option by giving
written notice to the Administrative Committee and tendering full payment of the
Exercise Price by cash, check or other means acceptable to the Administrative
Committee on or about the Exercise Date.
The minimum amount of Share-Options that can be exercised by a
Participant at any one time is the number of Share-Options for which the Fair
Market Value of the underlying Shares minus the applicable aggregate Exercise
Price totals $5,000, or 100% of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares,
whichever is less. For these purposes, the term “underlying Shares” means the
Shares which will be acquired by the Participant upon the exercise of the
Share-Options. A Participant shall not have any of the rights and privileges of
a shareholder with respect to any Shares purchasable or issuable upon the
exercise of Share-Options prior to the date of exercise of such Share-Options in
accordance with this Section 4.3.
In the event that the listing, registration or qualification of the
Share-Option on any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or
the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a
condition of, or in connection with, the exercise of the Share-Option, then the
Share-Option shall not be exercised in whole or in part until such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained.
4.4 Delivery of Shares. Within ten business days following the date that a
Participant satisfies the conditions for exercising Share-Options in accordance
with Section 4.3, the Employer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Participant title to, or beneficial ownership of, the Shares subject to such
Share-Options, which Shares the Participant can direct to be liquidated or
otherwise disposed of.
4.5 Tax Withholding. Whenever Shares are to be delivered upon exercise of
Share-Options under the Plan, the Employer shall require as a condition of such
delivery payment by the Participant of an amount sufficient to satisfy all
federal, state and local tax withholding requirements related thereto. Such
payment shall take the form of whichever of the following is acceptable to the
Administrative Committee: (a) cash; (b) the withholding of such amount from any
Shares to be delivered to the Participant, (c) the withholding of such amount
from compensation otherwise due to the Participant, or (d) any combination of
the foregoing, at the election of the Participant. Such election shall be made
before the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined by the
Employer, and such election shall be irrevocable. With the consent of the
Employer, the Participant may elect a greater amount of withholding, not to
exceed the estimated amount of the Participant’s total tax liability with
respect to the exercise of Share-Options under the Plan. Such election shall be
made at the same time and in the same manner as provided above.
4.6 Failure to Exercise. No Share-Option shall be exercised, in whole or in
part, after the end of the Share-Option’s Exercise Period as stated in Section
4.1. The Employer shall have no obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Participant the Shares subject to such Share-Option after the end of the
Share-Option’s Exercise Period. Failure to exercise a Share-Option in a timely
fashion shall constitute a forfeiture of the Share-Option.
ARTICLE V
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
5.1 Plan Amendment. The Administrative Committee may, from time to time in its
discretion, amend any provision of the Plan, in whole or in part, with respect
to any Participant or group of Participants. Such amendment shall be effective
as of the date specified therein and shall be binding upon the Administrative
Committee, all Participants and Beneficiaries, and all other persons claiming an
interest under the Plan. Subject to Section 5.2 below, such amendment shall not
affect any Share-Options that are outstanding as of the amendment date without
the Participant’s consent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any
amendments which modify the category of individuals eligible to participate in
the Plan or which modify Article V or VI of the Plan must be approved by the
Compensation Committee.
5.2 Plan Termination. The Plan shall terminate as the Compensation Committee may
determine, in its discretion. Such termination shall be effective as of the date
determined by the Compensation Committee and shall be binding upon the
Administrative Committee, all Participants and Beneficiaries, and all other
persons claiming an interest under the Plan. Share-Options that are outstanding
as of the Plan’s termination shall continue to be subject to exercise after the
effective date of such termination, and may be exercised in accordance with
Article IV and any applicable Share-Option Agreement; except that termination of
the Plan may provide for termination of all then outstanding Share-Options,
provided that the Employer gives the affected Participants 90 days’ notice
before such termination. In the event a termination of outstanding Share-Options
occurs pursuant to the preceding sentence, and such outstanding Share-Options
are not exercised during the 90-day notice period, the Employer may pay all
holders of such Share-Options, in cash or such other form as determined by the
Employer in its sole discretion, the Share-Options’ Intrinsic Value as of the
date the Share-Options terminated. As of the date of termination of the Plan, no
new Share-Options shall be granted, except for Share-Options required to be
granted under Section 3.2(b).
5.3 Amendment of Share-Options. A Share-Option may be amended by the
Administrative Committee at any time after the Grant Date if the Administrative
Committee determines that an amendment is necessary as a result of:
(a) any addition to or change in the Code or ERISA, a federal or state
securities law or any other law or regulation, which occurs after the Grant Date
and by its terms applies to the Share-Option;
(b) any Plan amendment pursuant to Section 5.1, or Plan termination
pursuant to Section 5.2, provided that the amendment does not materially affect
the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Share-Option, except
for termination of the Share-Option with 90 days’ notice as set forth in Section
5.2 above; or (c) any circumstances not specified in paragraphs (a) or (b), with
the consent of the Participant.
5.4 Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or a
Share-Option Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control, the Exercise Period
under Section 4.1 shall begin immediately upon such Change of Control.

interpretations and determinations shall be conclusive and binding on all
Participants, Beneficiaries and any other persons claiming an interest under the

II. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the Plan Year, DynCorp and organizational financial
objectives, individual objectives and target incentive award levels

of objectives. The threshold is applied at three levels.
o If performance against any single objective is less
than 75%, then the portion of the award based on
performance against that objective is not paid.
o If combined weighted performance against the
applicable financial objective(s) is less than 75% in
the aggregate, then no award is paid.
o If combined weighted performance against both
financial and individual objectives is less than 75%
in the aggregate, then no award is paid.
VI. FUNDING
At the beginning of the Plan Year executive management establishes,
subject to approval by the Committee, the amount of the total bonus
award pool which includes the payment of Management Incentive Plan
awards for that year. This amount represents the maximum amount that
can be paid to bonus participants unless Plan financial performance
exceeds Plan financial objectives. The definition of Plan financial
objectives is those organizational financial metrics approved by the
CEO or Compensation Committee at the beginning of the Plan Year.
The Award Pool will be accrued ratably on a monthly basis during the
Plan Year. The accrual amount will be reviewed quarterly and adjusted
as necessary to reflect the most recent projections of actual financial
performance versus budgeted performance and additions to, deletions
from or other changes in Plan participation.
VII. AWARDS
Target Awards ranging from 10% to 30% (in 5% increments) of Base Salary
will be established for each participant at the beginning of each Plan
Year. These targets will be divided into financial and individual
performance components and weighted as shown below in Table 1.
Target award recommendations will be submitted for review and approval
in accordance with procedures established by the Senior Vice President,
Human Resources and Administration, to achieve the approvals described
in Section IV of the Plan.
At the end of the Plan Year, performance against pre-established
financial and individual objectives, as described in Section VIII, will
be calculated to develop financial and individual performance factors.
These factors will reflect the level, expressed as a percentage, of
attainment of each objective. These performance factors will be
multiplied by the appropriate weighting for each objective
The results of these calculations then will be added to determine the
percentage of the Target Award payable to each participant. Payment of
the calculated award is subject to performance exceeding Threshold
performance as described in Section V. (Exhibit I of the Plan shows
detailed examples of award calculations.)
A bonus due to a participant hired after the beginning of the Plan Year
will be prorated based upon the number of months employed by the
Company as a percentage of the full year.
With the exception of disability, retirement or death, participants
must be employed (on the active payroll) on the date the awards are
paid in order to receive an incentive award. However, at its sole
discretion, the Compensation Committee may make an award to a former
employee, or to the former employee’s estate, in such amount as is
deemed appropriate.
VIII. PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT COMPONENTS
In order to reinforce the importance of DynCorp managers achieving a
balanced performance against financial and non-financial criteria,
incentive awards under the Plan will be based on team and individual
achievements in two or more of the following three areas:
A. The Financial Performance of DynCorp:
DynCorp’s financial success is the key determinant of its
ongoing viability as an independent business entity. In
recognition of this, a portion of each Corporate and SBA level
participant’s award will be based on DynCorp’s success against
its financial objective.
This objective, which will be recommended by the CEO and
approved by the Committee at the beginning of each Plan Year,
may be comprised of one or more financial measurements. The
measurement may be changed each Plan Year to properly reflect
DynCorp’s strategic objectives. Further, the financial
objective will be established at a level that will require
above average performance from the management team to achieve
it.
B. The Financial Performance of the Organizational Unit:
For non-Corporate participants, the financial performance of
the SBA, SBU or other organizational unit in which they have
the most direct control and accountability, will be given the
heaviest weighting in order to motivate and reward
participants for financial achievements.
Financial objectives established for each SBA and SBU will be
measurable and consistent with the overall strategic goals of
the SBA. SBA and SBU financial objectives generally will be
expressed in terms of RONA, Revenue, Operating Profit and/or
DSO. Moreover, as with the DynCorp financial objective, they
will be established at a level that will require above average
performance from the management team to achieve them.
C. The Individual Performance of the Participant:
Individual performance will be measured in terms of
performance against pre-established objectives and the
participant’s manager’s subjective judgment of overall
individual performance. Performance against objectives must
comprise at least 50% of the individual performance factor.
Individual objectives should be established according to the
following guidelines:
1. Each participant will have 4-6 written objectives that
have been jointly agreed to by the participant and the
participant’s supervisor.
2. Objectives will evolve from, respond to and/or reflect the
Company objectives established and communicated by the
CEO. Objectives covering the following areas will
typically be included:
o Key operational objectives
o Human resources management
o Quality and process improvement
o Business development
o Customer satisfaction
3. Objectives will be both quantitative and qualitative in
nature and will include non-financial as well as
appropriate financial related goals.
4. Objectives will be highly measurable and within the
control of the participant.
IX. AWARD DETERMINATION
Awards will be calculated by:
1) multiplying the appropriate Financial and Individual Performance
Factors by the weighting assigned to corresponding performance
components as determined in Table 1 above,
2) adding the resulting percentages together to determine a composite
percentage that represents overall achievement against
expectations, and
3) then multiplying the target award amount by the composite
percentage.
The award payable for any single component for any participant may
range from 0 to 150% of the established target amount for the
component.
Actual award amounts will be rounded to the nearest $100.00.
If the performance achievement level on any of the approved financial
performance factors falls below the Threshold level, the participant
will not generally receive an award for that component. However, the
CEO may on a discretionary basis recommend the payment of an award
where unusual or extraordinary circumstances contributed to the below
Threshold performance. If the combined weighted achievement level for
all applicable financial performance measurements is less than the
Threshold level, the award for the individual performance component
shall also be at the discretion of the CEO and the Committee.
Should a participant transfer to another organization during the Plan
Year, the final award will be jointly determined and prorated for the
time spent in each organization.
All incentive awards proposed under the Plan are subject to the
approval of the CEO and the Committee, who may at their discretion
adjust the amounts to be awarded in order to reflect exceptional
performance, performance that falls below objectives, or other
performance factors that affect or potentially affect the ability of
the Company or any of its units to meet its business and financial
goals.
X. YEAR-END ADMINISTRATION
Initial award recommendations will be calculated at the SBA and
Corporate levels and submitted in accordance with procedures
established by the Senior Vice President, Human Resources and
Administration, for Company level consolidation and submission to the
CEO. Documentation of objectives, accomplishments and individual
evaluations will be required to be submitted along with the individual
award recommendations. Financial performance will be reviewed by the
CFO as soon as the results for the Plan Year are available. Initial
actual award recommendations will be adjusted as necessary based on
this review to reflect the actual financial performance. The adjusted
recommendations will be submitted by the CEO to the Committee for
approval.
Payments will be made in cash, net of applicable witholdings, as soon
as practical following the Compensation Committee meeting, normally
held in March following final year-end closing.
Nothing in the Plan or in any action taken hereunder shall affect the
Company’s right to terminate at any time and for any reason the
employment of any employee who is a participant in the Plan.
The following examples illustrate how the Plan formula will be applied
to calculate the incentive award for a Grade 10-14 Corporate and SBU
Operations employees.
A. Sample Award Calculation: Corporate
Target formula: 0.60 DynCorp Financial Performance + 0.40 Individual
Performance = 1.00
ASSUMPTIONS:
Base Salary $75,000
Target Award Percentage 15%
Target Award $ 11,250
Company Financial Performance Factor 80%
(actual EPS $1.60 / EPS Objective $2.00)
Individual Performance Factor 90%

B. Sample Award Calculation: SBU Operations
Target formula: .20 SBA RONA Performance + .30 SBU RONA Performance +
.30 SBU Revenue Performance + 0.20 Individual Performance = 1.0
ASSUMPTIONS:
Base Salary $ 100,000
Target Award Percentage 25%
Target Award $ 25,000
