DynCorp Management Incentive Plan
Amended and Restated as of DynCorp Fiscal Year 1999
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Management Incentive Plan (the Plan) is to reward
and motivate key employees, who have significant impact on the Company
strategy, performance and profitability, for the achievement of
pre-established, measurable objectives which directly impact the
financial performance of DynCorp and increase shareholder value.
II. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the Plan Year, DynCorp and organizational financial
objectives, individual objectives and target incentive award levels
will be established and confirmed in writing for each Plan participant.
At the conclusion of the Plan Year, the achievement of the specified
financial objectives and individual objectives will be scored and
weighted for each participant according to established formulae to
determine the actual incentive amount to be awarded.
III. ELIGIBILITY
Senior and mid-level managers and employees in Salary Band 4 and
selected individuals in Salary Grades 10-14 who have at least six
months service during the Plan Year, will be eligible for participation
in the Plan. Inclusion of individuals with less than six months service
must be approved as an exception to the Plan.
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.

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

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 arget 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.
