ANALEX CORPORATION OPTION EXCHANGE AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AGREEMENT This OPTION EXCHANGE AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of January 13, 2006 (the "Grant Date") between ANALEX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and Sterling E. Phillips, Jr. (the "Grantee"). Background Information A. On January 16, 2001, the Grantee received stock option to purchase 875,725 shares of the common stock, par value $0.02, of the Company (the "Common Stock") at an exercise price of $1.375 per share (the "Option"). B. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Committee") has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to grant a stock appreciation right to the Grantee in exchange for the Option. C. The Grantee desires to accept a stock appreciation right in exchange for the Option and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Agreement 1. Grant of Stock Appreciation Right. Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement, and in exchange for the Option, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee a stock appreciation right covering 875,725 shares of Common Stock (the "SAR"), effective as of the Grant Date. 2. Exercise Price. The exercise price of the shares of Common Stock covered by the SAR shall be $1.375 per share (the "Exercise Price"). 3. Settlement of SAR. Upon exercise of all or a specified portion of the SAR, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive from the Company shares of Common Stock with an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise of the SAR equal to the amount determined by multiplying: (a) 100 percent of the amount (if any) by which the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR exceeds the Exercise Price, by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR shall have been exercised. 4. Vesting and Term of SAR. The SAR shall be fully vested and exercisable during its term. The term of the SAR commences on the Grant Date and expires at 5:00 p.m. on January 16, 2006. 5. Exercise of SAR. The SAR is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice, at such location and in such form as the Company shall designate, which shall state the election to exercise the SAR, the number of shares in respect of which the SAR is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. This SAR shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such exercise notice. No shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this SAR unless such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation service upon which the shares are then listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the exercised shares shall be considered transferred to the Grantee on the date the SAR is exercised with respect to such exercised shares. Prior to the exercise of this SAR and delivery of the resulting shares, the Grantee shall not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to this SAR or the shares subject to this SAR. 6. Non-Transferability of SAR. The SAR may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, except as otherwise permitted by the Committee. 7. Tax Withholding. At such time as the Grantee exercises the SAR, the Grantee must satisfy the federal, state, and local income and social insurance withholding taxes imposed by reason of the exercise of the SAR. Unless the Grantee delivers to the Company at the time of exercise of the SAR a certified check payable in the amount of all tax withholding obligations imposed on the Grantee and the Company by reason of the exercise of the SAR, the number of shares to be delivered to the Grantee upon exercise of the SAR shall be reduced by the smallest number of whole shares which, when multiplied by the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise, is sufficient to satisfy the amount of such tax withholding obligations. 8. No Effect on Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or affect any right which the Company may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on the rights of the Grantee under this Agreement. 9. Rights Prior to Issuance of Certificates. The Grantee shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any shares issuable upon exercise of the SAR until the date of issuance to the Grantee of a certificate for such shares. 10. Governing Law and Severability. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein. 11. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Grantee and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. 12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to such terms, restrictions and limitations. 13. Headings.
