PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2009
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the
solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of SRA, for use at our Annual Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement of that meeting. All executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the stockholders instructions, and if no
choice is specified, executed proxies will be voted in favor of the matters set forth in the accompanying notice of meeting. Any proxy may be revoked by a stockholder at any time before its exercise by delivery of written revocation or a
subsequently dated proxy to our Corporate Secretary or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy).
On August 31, 2009, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, there were outstanding and
entitled to vote an aggregate of 44,220,027 shares of class A common stock, $0.004 par value per share, and 13,100,736 shares of class B common stock, $0.004 par value per share, which constitutes all of our voting stock, and which we collectively
refer to as the common stock. Holders of class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of class A common stock and holders of class B common stock
vote together as a single class on all matters presented to the stockholders for their vote or approval, except as may otherwise be required by Delaware law.
Our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009, together with these proxy materials, are first being sent or given to stockholders, on or about September 18, 2009.
VOTES REQUIRED
Approval of the Declassification
of our Board of Directors.
This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 67% of the voting power of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. For this vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have the
effect of a vote against this proposal.
Election of Directors.
The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting
is required to elect the nominees for Director. For this vote, broker non-votes and withheld votes have no impact on the vote.
Ratification of Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP.
This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting and voting thereon. For this vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded and will have no impact on the vote.
The
holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy
(including shares which abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters presented for stockholder approval) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.
Shares which abstain from voting as to a particular matter, and shares held in street name by brokers or nominees who indicate on their
proxies that they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to a particular matter, will not be counted as votes in favor of such matter, and will also not be counted as shares voted on such matter.
NOTICE OF INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS
As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, on or about September 18, 2009, we mailed a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which we refer to as the Internet Notice, to our stockholders. Our Proxy statement
and Form 10-K are available at http://www.sra.com/investors/sec-filings.php. As described in the Internet Notice, any stockholder, at no cost to the stockholder, may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by
e-mail.
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports and Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy
Materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as
householding, potentially means extra convenience for share/stockholders and cost savings for companies.
Some banks, brokers
and other nominee record holders with account holders who are our stockholders may be participating in the practice of householding our proxy materials and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our Internet Notice may have
been sent to multiple stockholders in your household. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of our Internet Notice or our proxy statement and Form 10-K to stockholders if you call or write us at the following address or phone number: SRA
1
International, Inc., 4300 Fair Lakes Court, Fairfax, Virginia 22033, phone: (703) 803-1500, Attention: Mr. David Keffer, Vice President, Investor
Relations. If you want to receive separate copies of our Internet Notice or our Form 10-K and Proxy statement in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your
bank, broker or other nominee record holder, or you may contact us using the above address and phone number.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of August 31, 2009 by (i) each
person or entity who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of class A common stock or class B common stock, (ii) each Director or nominee for Director, (iii) each of the executive officers
named in the Summary Compensation Table section of this proxy statement, who we refer to in this proxy statement as the named executive officers, and (iv) all current Directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, and
subject to community property laws where applicable, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares such power with his or her spouse) with respect to all shares of common stock listed as owned by such
person or entity. This table is based upon information supplied by officers, directors and principal stockholders and Schedules 13D and 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Applicable percentages are based on 44,220,027 shares
outstanding of class A common stock and 13,100,736 shares outstanding of class B common stock on August 31, 2009, adjusted as required by rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), requires our Directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports
of changes in ownership of our common stock and our other equity securities. Officers, Directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, Directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.

PROPOSAL 1: AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANYS AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION TO PROVIDE FOR ANNUAL ELECTION OF ALL DIRECTORS
General
Article IX of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate of
Incorporation) establishes three (3) classes of Directors (Class I, Class II and Class III) with terms of three years each. Generally, absent the earlier resignation or removal of a Class member, the terms of the classes
are staggered and one Class stands for re-election at each annual meeting of stockholders. The Companys Board of Directors, or the Board, has unanimously approved and declared advisable an amendment of Article IX of the Companys
Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors, remove the class designations for each of the Directors terms and institute annual voting for each Director to serve a one-year term, subject to, in the case of the amendment
to the Certificate of Incorporation, stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. If approved and adopted by the Companys stockholders, the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will be filed with the Corporate Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware immediately following the vote at the Annual Meeting and will be in effect immediately upon such filing. The form of the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation are set forth as
Appendix A
to this Proxy
Statement. The amendments to Article IX will result in the reduction of the remaining terms of our Class I and Class III Directors, who will each stand for election at this Annual Meeting, along with the Class II Directors, whose
terms expired at the Annual Meeting. The Directors currently serving in Class I and Class III have agreed to resign from their current terms if they are elected to new one-year terms. Thus, all ten members of the Board will be standing for election
at this Annual Meeting, if the proposed amendment is adopted.
Under Delaware corporate law, Directors of companies that have a classified
Board structure may be removed only for cause unless their certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. However, Directors of companies that do not have a classified structure may be removed with or without cause by the holders of a majority of
the voting power of the capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. Accordingly, in conjunction with our proposal to declassify our Board, we are proposing to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the provision that allows
stockholders to remove our Directors only for cause. We are also proposing additional conforming changes to Article IX of our Certificate of Incorporation, in connection with the declassification of the Board, which are reflected in the proposed
amendments set forth in
Appendix A
.
Article IX also currently provides that Directors elected to fill vacancies on the Board
serve the remainder of the full three-year terms to which their predecessors were elected. Consistent with the other proposed amendments to Article IX that would eliminate the classified Board structure, Article IX would also be amended to provide
that Directors elected to fill vacancies on the Board serve for a term ending at the next annual meeting of stockholders following their election.
Similar to the Certificate of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated By-Laws (the By-Laws), contain provisions concerning the classification of the Board of Directors. If this Proposal 1 is approved, the Board will amend the
By-Laws accordingly. If this Proposal 1 is not approved, the Board will not amend the By-Laws with respect to declassification.
The Board
of Directors has decided that it is an appropriate time to propose declassifying the Board of Directors. This determination by the Board furthers its goal of ensuring that our corporate governance policies maximize management accountability to
stockholders and would, if adopted, allow stockholders the opportunity each year to more effectively register their views on the performance of the Board.
If this Proposal No. 1 is not approved by the Companys stockholders, then the election of the three Class II Director nominees as set forth in Proposal No. 2 shall proceed under the Certificate of
Incorporation as currently in effect. In such case, the Class II Director nominees shall be elected for a term of three years and the Class I and Class III Directors shall serve the remaining terms of such class.
Required Vote
This proposal will be approved upon
the affirmative vote of at least 67% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of a vote against this proposal.
Board Recommendation
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU
VOTE FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO DECLASSIFY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND TO ALLOW FOR THE REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS WITHOUT CAUSE.
5
PROPOSAL 2ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
As discussed in Proposal 1, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board of Directors is classified into three classes, designated as Class I
Directors, Class II Directors, and Class III Directors, with members of each class holding office for staggered three-year terms. Each class consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of Directors. Vacancies on the Board may
be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining Directors.
The Board of Directors presently has ten members. There are
currently four Class I Directors, whose terms expire at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, three Class II Directors, whose terms expire at the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders and three Class III Directors, whose terms expire at the 2010
annual meeting of stockholders, in all cases subject to the election and qualification of their successors and to their earlier death, resignation, or removal. The Board of Directors unanimously approved an amendment of Article IX of the
Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors, remove the class designations for each of the Directors terms and institute annual voting for each Director to serve a one-year term, subject to, in the case of the amendment
to the Certificate of Incorporation, stockholder approval at the annual meeting.
This Proposal No. 2 concerns the election of
Directors under two alternative scenarios:
|
|
|
if Proposal No. 1 is approved by the Companys stockholders which amends the Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board and remove the class
designations of the Companys Directors; or
|
|
|
|
if Proposal No. 1 is
not
approved by the Companys stockholders and the Company retains its existing Class I, Class II and Class III
Director designations.
|
Effect of Vote for Directors Subject to Proposal No. 1
If Proposal No. 1 Is Approved:
Under
Proposal No. 1, the adoption of the amendment to Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation shall shorten the current term of any member of the Board of Directors whose term, under the existing classified Board structure, extends past
the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, if Proposal No. 1 is approved by the Companys stockholders, the classified structure of the Board will be eliminated, and each of the ten Directors listed below shall be nominated for election to a
one-year term to serve until the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders or until their earlier resignation or removal.
If Proposal No. 1 Is Not
Approved:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our Board of Directors has long believed that good corporate governance is important to ensure that SRA is managed for the long-term benefit of stockholders. Over the past several years, our Board of Directors has
reviewed its governance practices in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC rules and regulations and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. This section describes key corporate governance guidelines and practices that
SRA has adopted. Complete copies of the governance policies, Committee charters and codes of conduct described below are available on our website at www.sra.com. Alternatively, you can request a copy of any of these documents by writing to SRA
International, Inc., 4300 Fair Lakes Court, Fairfax, VA 22033, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Governance Policies of the Board of
Directors
The Board has adopted governance policies to assist in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities and to serve the
best interests of SRA and its stockholders. These policies, which provide a framework for the conduct of the Boards business, provide that:
|
|
|
the principal responsibility of the Directors is to oversee the management of our company;
|
|
|
|
a majority of the members of the Board shall be independent Directors;
|
|
|
|
the non-management Directors shall meet regularly in executive session;
|
|
|
|
Directors have full and free access to management and, as necessary and appropriate, independent advisors;
|
|
|
|
new Directors participate in an orientation program and all Directors are expected to participate in continuing Director education on an ongoing basis; and
|
|
|
|
at least annually, the Board and its Committees will conduct a self-evaluation to determine whether they are functioning effectively.
|
Board Determination of Independence
Under NYSE rules, a Director of SRA will only qualify as independent if our Board of Directors affirmatively determines that he or she has no material relationship with us, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer
of an organization that has a material relationship with our company. The Board of Directors has additional guidelines, as part of our Governance Policies, which are posted on our website at
www.sra.com
, to assist it in determining whether a
Director has a material relationship. Under these guidelines, a Director is considered to have a material relationship with us if he or she is not independent under Section 303A.02(b) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual or he or she:
|
|
|
is an executive officer of another company that does business with us and the annual sales to, or purchases from, us account for more than $1 million or two
percent, whichever is greater, of the annual consolidated gross revenues of the company that he or she serves as an executive officer;
|
|
|
|
is an executive officer of another company which is indebted to us, or to which we are indebted, and the total amount of either companys indebtedness to the
other is more than one percent of the total consolidated assets of the company that he or she serves as an executive officer; or
|
|
|
|
serves as an officer, Director or trustee of a charitable organization and our discretionary charitable contributions to the organization are more than the greater
of $1 million or two percent of that organizations total annual charitable receipts.
|
Ownership of a significant
amount of our stock, by itself, does not constitute a material relationship that would disqualify a Director from being independent.
For
relationships not covered by the guidelines set forth above, the determination of whether a material relationship exists is made by the other members of the Board of Directors who are independent.
Our Board of Directors has determined that none of John W. Barter, Larry R. Ellis, Edmund P. Giambastiani, Jr., Miles R. Gilburne, William T. Keevan,
Michael R. Klein, David H. Langstaff or Gail R. Wilensky has a material relationship with SRA and that each of these Directors is independent as determined under Section 303A.02(b) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Stanton D.
Sloane, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ernst Volgenau, our founder and the Chairman of our Board of Directors, are not independent Directors by virtue of their current status as executive officers of our company. Renato DiPentima,
who served as a Director during fiscal 2009, was determined not to be an independent Director by virtue of his status as an executive officer of our company in fiscal 2007 and as an employee Director in fiscal 2008. Dr. DiPentima resigned from
the Board of Directors effective August 16, 2008.
Board Meetings and Attendance
The Board met eleven times during fiscal 2009, consisting of nine in-person meetings and two teleconference meetings. During fiscal 2009, each Director
attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and the Committees on which the Director then served, during the periods in which the Director so served. Consistent with the requirements of the Boards governance policies,
the Board met in executive session without the presence of management, following the conclusion of each regularly scheduled Board meeting. These meetings were chaired by Mr. Klein, who served as Lead Director during fiscal 2009.
9
Director Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders
The governance policies of the Board provide that Directors are responsible for attending the Annual Meeting of stockholders. Nine of our current ten
Directors attended the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on October 30, 2008. Mr. Ellis did not attend.
Board Committees
The Board of Directors has established three standing CommitteesAudit and Finance, Compensation and Personnel, and
Governanceeach of which operates under a charter that has been approved by the Board of Directors. Current copies of each Committees charter are posted on our website, www.sra.com.
The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit and Finance, Compensation and Personnel and Governance Committees are independent as
defined under the rules of the NYSE, and in the case of all members of the Audit and Finance Committee, under the additional independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

On March 17, 2009, the Senior Vice President and Director, Human Resources, acting with the approval
of the Compensation and Personnel Committee, retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., or FWC, a compensation consultant, to assist the committee in evaluating the compensation of our named executive officers and Directors. Please read the
Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Proxy Statement for additional information on the role of FWC in the compensation review process.

|
The processes and procedures followed by the Governance Committee in identifying and evaluating Director candidates are described below under the heading Director Candidates.
The members of the Governance Committee are Messrs. Klein (Chairman) and Gilburne and General Ellis. The Governance Committee did not meet in person
during fiscal 2009. The Governance Committee performed its duties via unanimous written consent.
Director Candidates
The process followed by the Governance Committee to identify and evaluate Director candidates includes requests to Board members
and others for recommendations, meetings from time to time to evaluate biographical information and background material relating to potential candidates and interviews of selected candidates by members of the Governance Committee and the Board. The
Governance Committee may retain the services of an executive search firm to help identify and evaluate potential Director candidates.
In
considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in the Boards slate of recommended Director nominees, the Governance Committee will apply the criteria set forth in our governance policies. These criteria include the
candidates integrity, business acumen, commitment to understand our business and industry, experience, conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interests of all stockholders. The Governance Committee does not assign specific weights
to particular criteria and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for each prospective nominee. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our Directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge
and abilities that will allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities.
Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Governance
Committee for consideration as potential Director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials and a statement as to whether the stockholder or group of stockholders making
the recommendation has beneficially owned more than 5% of our common stock for at least a year as of the date such recommendation is made, to SRA International, Inc., 4300 Fair Lakes Court, Fairfax, VA 22033, Attention: Corporate Secretary, and they
will be forwarded to the Governance Committee members for consideration. Any such submission must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Director if elected. Assuming that appropriate
biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Governance Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it
follows for candidates submitted by others.
Stockholders also have the right under our bylaws to directly nominate Director candidates,
without any action or recommendation on the part of the Governance Committee or the Board, by following the procedures set forth under Stockholder Proposals for 2010 Annual Meeting on page 39 of this proxy statement.
Stockholder Communications with Directors
The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders and other interested parties, and will respond if and as appropriate. The Chairman of the Board (if an independent
Director), or the lead Director (if one is appointed), or otherwise the Chairman of the Governance Committee, with the assistance of our corporate secretary, is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and other
interested parties and for providing copies or summaries to the other Directors as he or she considers appropriate. The Chairman of the Board (if an independent Director), or the lead Director (if one is appointed) also serves as the presiding
Director at all executive sessions of the non-management Directors. As the lead Director during fiscal 2009, Mr. Klein performed these responsibilities.
11
Communications are forwarded to all Directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include
suggestions or comments that the Chairman of the Board or the lead Director considers to be important for the Directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be
forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.
Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board of Directors c/o
Mr. Michael R. Klein, Lead Director, SRA International, Inc., 4300 Fair Lakes Court, Fairfax, VA 22033.
Codes of Ethics
The Board has adopted a code of business ethics and conduct that applies to all of our employees, officers and Directors. This code
is posted on our website at www.sra.com and available upon request of any stockholder. The code requires employees, officers and Directors to report any suspected violations of the code to the appropriate company officials, or they may anonymously
report any suspected violations to our business ethics and procurement fraud hotline, which is hosted by an independent third party who will forward such information to the appropriate company officials.
We have also adopted a code of ethics for principal financial officers that addresses some of the same issues as the code of business ethics and conduct,
but establishes specific standards related to financial controls and financial reporting, and applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar
functions. Our principal financial officers are expected to adhere to both the code of business ethics and conduct and the code of ethics for principal financial officers. We have posted a current copy of the code of ethics for principal financial
officers on our website at www.sra.com.
We intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or NYSE stock market
listing standards concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the codes.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Pursuant to our compensation plan for non-employee Directors, we pay each non-employee Director an annual retainer of $35,000 per year, payable
quarterly, plus $2,000 for each Board meeting attended, $2,000 for each Committee meeting attended in person, and $1,000 for each teleconference Committee meeting attended. The Audit and Finance Committee chair is paid an additional annual retainer
of $20,000, payable quarterly, and all other Committee chairs are paid an additional annual retainer of $10,000, payable quarterly. Beginning fiscal 2010, meeting fees will be paid for all Committee meetings, including if held in conjunction with,
or immediately prior to or after Board meetings.
Non-employee Directors may elect to receive shares of class A common stock in lieu of
their cash retainer. All shares delivered pursuant to such an election are granted quarterly under our then-existing stock incentive plan on the third business day following each quarterly issuance of our earnings and are vested in full upon grant.
The number of shares granted is determined using the closing trading price of our class A common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the grant date. The Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines to better align the interests of
non-employee Directors with the interests of shareholders. These guidelines encourage that all non-employee Directors own shares of SRA common stock equal to $100,000 by June 30, 2012 or within five years of their appointment of the Board,
if later, and to maintain such $100,000 ownership level of our stock until six months after their service on the Board terminates for any reason.
Non-employee Directors also receive a one-time equity grant with an estimated value, determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004)
Share-Based
Payment
, or SFAS No. 123(R), of $150,000 upon their appointment or election to the Board. Each continuing non-employee Director who has served for at least thirty months receives an annual equity grant with an estimated value, determined in
accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), of $50,000. Annual equity grants are generally made on the third business day following the issuance of our earnings release for our annual financial results.
Each equity grant described above consists in part of nonqualified stock options and in part of restricted stock, in each case with respect to class A
common stock. The allocation of each equity grant between stock options and restricted stock is made so that the estimated value attributable to both components is equal. The estimated value is determined on the grant date in accordance with SFAS
No. 123(R) and with our practices and methodologies then in effect. The equity grants are made under our then-existing stock incentive plan and vest in equal 25% increments over four years. The exercise price for stock options granted is the
closing trading price on the New York Stock Exchange of our class A common stock on the date of grant.
The following table sets forth
information regarding the compensation of all of our non-employee Directors that served during fiscal 2009. Dr. Sloane, who serves as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a Director, and Dr. Volgenau, Chairman of the Board and an
employee of the Company, are not listed and were not separately compensated for their services as Directors. The compensation for each of Drs. Sloane and Volgenau are fully reflected in the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy
statement.

The amounts in these columns represent the expense we recognized in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 in connection with awards made during fiscal 2009 and during prior years
in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Assumptions used in the calculation of these expenses are included in note 1 to our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009 included in our Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2009. Unlike the amounts reflected in our audited financial statements, these amounts do not reflect any estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting. Instead, they assume that the
Director will remain with our company long enough to fully vest in the award.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Introduction
The goal of our compensation program is to compensate our executives
commensurate with individual and company performance. In an effort to align executive compensation with stockholder interests over the next several fiscal years, the compensation delivered to our executives is expected to shift relatively towards a
heavier emphasis on long term incentives (i.e. stock options and restricted stock) and away from shorter term cash incentives. The specific objectives of our executive compensation program are as follows:
|
|
|
Support the attainment of our short- and long-term financial and strategic objectives and reward executives for continuous improvement in earnings and
growth in stockholder value;
|
|
|
|
Be performance-based, with variable pay constituting a significant portion of total compensation;
|
|
|
|
Provide differentiated pay based on executives skills, role in the company, and contributions to our performance;
|
|
|
|
Create commonality of interest between management and stockholders by tying realized compensation directly to changes in stockholder value and encouraging
significant accumulation of stock ownership among senior executives;
|
|
|
|
Attract, retain and motivate highly skilled executives by providing a competitive compensation opportunity relative to other, comparably-sized companies
in the information technology, consulting and defense industry;
|
|
|
|
To the extent possible, maximize the financial efficiency of the overall program from tax, accounting, and cash flow perspectives;
|
|
|
|
Reinforce a high-performance culture; and
|
|
|
|
Embrace best practice policies to the extent they are supportive of the above objectives.
|
To achieve these objectives, the Compensation and Personnel Committee of our Board of Directors evaluates our executive compensation program with the
goal of setting target compensation at levels the Committee believes are competitive.
Our executive compensation program ties a
substantial portion of each executives overall compensation to company strategic financial and operational goals such as growth in revenue, earnings per share, operating income, days sales outstanding, and new business orders, in addition to
individual goals.
We provide a significant portion of our executive compensation in the form of stock option grants and restricted stock
awards because we believe this will help to retain our executives and provides an incentive for them to participate in the long term success of our company, and therefore better aligns their interests with those of our stockholders.
Although the Chief Executive Officer does not participate in the Compensation and Personnel Committees determination of his own compensation, he
does assist the Committee in setting the compensation for the other executive officers. The Chief Executive Officers assistance may include providing a summary of his personal evaluations of each executive and recommending prospective base
salaries, target incentive compensation levels and long-term equity awards. Basic data gathering and similar support is provided to the Chief Executive Officer by the SVP of Human Resources. The other executives do not have a role in establishing
executive compensation.
In attracting and retaining our executive officers, we compete with many other firms in the information
technology, consulting and defense industry. To keep abreast of changing compensation packages of our competitors, we assess various compensation data from other companies throughout the fiscal year.
Historically, in making compensation decisions, the Compensation and Personnel Committee has reviewed compensation data for companies in the information
technology, consulting and defense industry and has compared our executive compensation to named executive officers at a peer group of publicly traded companies. The peer group, which is periodically reviewed by the Compensation and Personnel
Committee and evolves over time, consists of publicly traded information technology, consulting and defense companies that we believe have comparably sized revenue, net income, market capitalization, total assets and number of employees.
When the Compensation and Personnel Committee set base salaries and cash incentive targets for fiscal 2009 FWC provided the Compensation and Personnel
Committee with a report comparing each element of target total direct compensation we provide to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the three additional most highly compensated executives against that provided by certain other
publicly-traded information technology, consulting and defense companies, which we refer to as our Compensation Peer Group. At the time this report was completed, the three additional most highly compensated executives were the EVP,
Strategic Development (now retired); SVP, Marketing and Sales (incumbent now in a different role); and the Global Health Sector Director (incumbent now the Chief Operating Officer). When the report was conducted at the end of fiscal 2009, the three
additional most highly compensated executives were the Chief Operating Officer, our National Security Sector Director and our General Counsel.
The Compensation Peer Group for fiscal 2009 initially consisted of the following companies: Affiliated Computer Services, BearingPoint, CACI International, CIBER, Cognizant Tech Solutions, ICF International, ManTech International, MAXIMUS,
Navigant Consulting and Perot Systems. When the Compensation and Personnel Committee finalized actual cash bonus and equity grants at the conclusion of fiscal 2009, FWC again provided the Compensation and Personnel Committee with a report comparing
each element of target total direct compensation we provide to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the three additional most highly compensated executives against our defined peer group. For this second report, the
15
Compensation Peer Group was adjusted to replace Affiliated Computer Services (whose core business was thought not in alignment with ours) and BearingPoint
(which was divested as part of their bankruptcy proceeding) with Stanley and Tetra Tech, but otherwise the Compensation Peer Group remained the same.
FWC has served as a Compensation and Personnel Committee consultant since fiscal 2008. Management recommended FWC to the Compensation and Personnel Committee and the Committee approved them as their consultant. FWC
met with the Compensation and Personnel Committee to discuss its findings and recommendations on April 28, 2009 and subsequently provided a comprehensive written report to the Compensation and Personnel Committee.
In addition to FWCs work for the Compensation and Personnel Committee, FWC also provides ad hoc guidance to management on a narrow range of
executive compensation related topics. During fiscal year 2009, these topics included analysis of a performance-based equity program and a peer analysis on stock ownership guidelines. The data from these studies will ultimately be presented to the
Compensation and Personnel Committee for review. FWC does not perform any other work for SRA.
The compensation data compiled by FWC was
considered by the Compensation and Personnel Committee together with other discretionary factors such as individual performance, compensation history, scope of responsibility, internal equity and experience level in establishing each element of
target total direct compensation for the executive officers.
Components of our Executive Compensation Program
The primary elements of our executive compensation program are:
|
|
|
annual cash incentives;
|
|
|
|
equity in the form of stock option and/or restricted stock awards;
|
|
|
|
insurance, retirement and other employee benefits; and
|
|
|
|
in some cases, severance and change-of-control benefits.
|
The target baseline mix (subject to individual discretionary factors) for base salary, cash incentive awards and equity compensation for our senior employees for fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011, are shown in the pie charts
below. The Compensation and Personnel Committees general intention is over time to shift company compensation components to place a greater emphasis on long-term incentive awards. These baseline amounts serve only as targets, and for
individual employees the Compensation and Personnel Committee has and will exercise its discretion in considering individual performance, compensation history, scope of responsibility, internal equity, external market data and experience level.

Base Salary
In approving the fiscal 2009 base salaries for our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and the three additional most highly compensated executives (together, the named executive officers), the Compensation and
Personnel Committee considered the FWC analysis and external salary survey data. Actual individual salary amounts also reflect the Compensation and Personnel Committees judgment with respect to each executives individual performance,
compensation history, scope of responsibility, internal equity and experience level. While base salaries of our executives are targeted at competitive levels, the Compensation and Personnel Committee believes that a significant portion of our named
executive officers target total direct compensation should consist of cash incentive and equity awards (described below) which are variable in amount and tied to financial and operational results and individual performance.
The base salaries paid to our Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers for the past two fiscal years, and the salaries approved for
fiscal 2010, are shown below:

The Compensation and Personnel Committee determined the fiscal 2009 base salary increase for Dr. Sloane based on company financial performance metrics compared to the fiscal 2008 company financial plan as approved by the Compensation
and Personnel Committee, market data (as compiled by FWC) and qualitative performance measures as set and approved by the Compensation and Personnel Committee at the beginning of fiscal 2009. Company financial metrics included revenue, operating
income, DEPS (diluted earnings per share), orders and DSOs (days sales outstanding). The same factors used when reviewing Dr. Sloanes fiscal 2009 base salary were used by the Compensation and Personnel Committee to establish
Dr. Sloanes fiscal 2010 base salary. Dr. Sloane received no increase in base salary for fiscal 2010.
Dr. Sloane
recommended base salaries for fiscal 2009 for other named executive officers based on individual performance, compensation history, scope of responsibility, internal equity, external market data and experience level, and such recommendations were
reviewed and approved by the Compensation and Personnel Committee. The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviewed Dr. Sloanes recommendation and approved Mr. Atkins salary increase at the time of his promotion to Chief
Operating Officer in December, 2008. Ms. Burgums salary was adjusted by Dr. Sloane and approved by the Compensation and Personnel Committee upon accepting the acting Chief Financial Officer role in January, 2009.
Mr. Schultzs salary for fiscal 2009 was set in accordance with the commencement of his employment in June, 2008. Mr. Nadeaus salary for fiscal 2009 was set in accordance with the commencement of his employment in June, 2009.
Dr. Volgenaus fiscal 2009 salary was not adjusted from fiscal 2008 because he continued to work a reduced schedule.
For fiscal
2010 base salary changes, Dr. Sloane reviewed and made recommendations to the Compensation and Personnel Committee for each named executive officer based on fiscal 2009 individual performance, compensation history, scope of responsibility,
internal equity, external market data and experience level. Dr. Sloanes recommendations were reviewed by the Compensation and Personnel Committee and approved by the full Board of Directors.
18
Annual Cash Incentives
We have an annual cash incentive plan for our executives and key employees that is tied to the achievement of strategic operational and financial goals by our company, as well as individual goals and performance. The
Compensation and Personnel Committee believes that making a significant portion of the executive officers cash incentives contingent on corporate performance aligns the executive officers interest with those of our stockholders because
it focuses the executive on achievement of the company goals as well as the executives individual goals.
Annual cash incentives for
the Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers are determined pursuant to formulas that incorporate quantitative and qualitative metrics.
In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, the formula is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Bonus Target)*
|
|
(Quantitative Multiplier)*
|
|
(Qualitative Multiplier) =
|
|
Actual Cash
Incentive Earned
|
(Specified percentage of base salary)
|
|
(0.0 to 1.69)
|
|
(0.0 to 1.0)
|
|
|
For other named executives, the formula is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Bonus Target)*
|
|
(Corporate Multiplier)*
|
|
(Individual Multiplier) =
|
|
Actual Cash
Incentive Earned
|
(Specified percentage of base salary)
|
|
(0.0 to 1.3)
|
|
(0.0 to 1.3)
|
|
|
The bonus target is set for the Chief Executive Officer by the Compensation and Personnel
Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year. It is determined pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Chief Executive Officers employment agreement, the Compensation and Personnel Committees review of his individual performance,
compensation history, scope of responsibility and experience level, performance for the previous year as well as relevant market data as supplied by FWC. The bonus target for other named executives is recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and
approved by the Compensation and Personnel Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year. It is based on assessment of individual performance, compensation history, scope of responsibility, internal equity, external market data and experience
level.
The quantitative multiplier for the Chief Executive Officer formula is determined by company performance metrics recommended by the
Chief Executive Officer and reviewed and approved by the Compensation and Personnel Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year. When setting these metrics, the Compensation and Personnel Committee does not formally benchmark company financial
performance against the expected financial performance of the Compensation Peer Group. The metrics are intended to represent the Compensation and Personnel Committees discretionary assessment of superior company performance and generally
exceed company planned corporate financial goals for the year. The Chief Executive Officer reviews and recommends to the Compensation and Personnel Committee a corporate multiplier for all other incentive eligible employees, considering the same
company performance metrics used to measure the Chief Executive Officers quantitative multiplier as well as other discretionary factors such as compensation history, work force performance, qualitative corporate goals and other market data.
The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviews and approves the corporate multiplier for such other employees. Beginning with fiscal 2010, the Compensation and Personnel Committee has decided that the formula used for determining the Chief
Executive Officers annual cash incentive will apply also to certain other senior executives of the company (including the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the National Security Sector and Health and Civil Sector Directors,
the Human Resources Director, the Marketing and Sales Director and the General Counsel).
Because the corporate metrics are determined at
the beginning of the fiscal year, they exclude the contribution of potential acquisitions or divestitures that may occur throughout the year. For acquisitions or divestitures that occur early in the fiscal year, the Compensation and Personnel
Committee may in its discretion include financial targets for those acquired companies in the target metrics, and in the measurement of actual performance at fiscal year-end. However, absent a contrary decision by the Compensation and Personnel
Committee, contributions from mid-year or later acquisitions or divestitures that are not included in establishing the corporate financial goals will be excluded when determining the actual performance at fiscal year-end.
The qualitative multiplier for the Chief Executive Officer formula includes individual goals and performance expectations established at the beginning of
the fiscal year. They are intended to represent superior individual performance. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Compensation and Personnel Committee establishes the goals and performance expectations for the Chief Executive Officer. The
Chief Executive Officer recommends, and the Compensation and Personnel Committee approves, the goals and performance expectations at the beginning of the fiscal year used for the individual multiplier for the other named executive officers.
Beginning in fiscal 2009, the Compensation and Personnel Committee reviewed and approved the qualitative goals for all direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer. The compensation and performance of these executives is expected to be reviewed
annually by the Compensation and Personnel Committee and approved by the full Board.
In prior fiscal years we paid our executives their
annual cash incentives over a three-year period, with 70% of the earned amount paid at the end of the fiscal year for which it was initially earned. The remaining 30% was to be paid in equal amounts of 15% at the end of each of the next two fiscal
years, as long as the executive remained employed by our company. To better
19
reflect market compensation practices, for fiscal 2009, executives were paid 100% of any cash incentive earned, and any earned but unpaid cash incentives
from prior fiscal years were paid in full concurrently with the payment of the fiscal 2009 cash incentive. The Chief Executive Officers fiscal 2009 cash incentive target was set based on the fiscal 2009 financial plan reviewed and approved by
the Compensation and Personnel Committee and the Board. Incentive targets for other named executives are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer, with review and approval from the Compensation and Personnel Committee. The percentages reflect the
Chief Executive Officers assessment of the executives individual performance, compensation history, scope of responsibility, experience level, internal equity and relevant market data.

The qualitative measures for assessing Dr. Sloanes performance in fiscal 2009 included reducing voluntary turnover, further enhancing
SRAs ethic of Honesty and Service, building a stable and effective senior executive team, improving Chief Executive Officer communications, continuing to implement the companys strategic plan, and ensuring appropriate risk management
procedures are in place. The qualitative factors used by the Compensation and Personnel Committee in determining the qualitative multiplier may only decrease or sustain the amount earned based on the quantitative factors. A score of 1.0 would
indicate that performance expectations were met; a score less than 1.0 would indicate that performance expectations were not fully met.
After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative factors shown above, the Compensation and Personnel Committee established Dr. Sloanes quantitative multiplier at .42 and his qualitative multiplier at .83. Accordingly, his cash
incentive earned was $256,221 or approximately 34.9% of his incentive target.
Cash Incentive for Other Named Executive Officers
Based on a review of corporate performance for fiscal 2009, the Compensation and Personnel Committee with advice from the Chief Executive Officer, and
using its discretion, assigned a corporate multiplier for other named executives at 50%. The 50% score was generated based on a review of financial performance measures used to determine the Chief Executive Officers quantitative multiplier and
adjusted with respect to company acquisitions. The Compensation and Personnel Committee also considered qualitative objectives set at the beginning of the year and other discretionary factors.
Individual multipliers were determined using individual qualitative and quantitative goals and objectives related to performance during fiscal 2009.
Although the goals and objectives differ based on individual position and role within the company, the items may include factors such as ethics and leadership, financial metrics, or functional specific objectives. A score of 1.0 indicates that the
executive met performance expectations (including goals set at the beginning of the fiscal year). A score less than 1.0 indicates performance expectations (including goals established at the beginning of the fiscal year) were not fully met, and a
score greater than 1.0 indicates that performance expectations (including goals established at the beginning of the fiscal year) were exceeded. The maximum individual multiplier score that could be achieved was 1.3. This metric is recommended by the
Chief Executive Officer, who takes into consideration additional factors such as unforeseen changes to the business plan and overall performance relative to peers internal and external. It is then reviewed and approved by the Compensation and
Personnel Committee.
Pursuant to Mr. Hughes separation agreement, his bonus payment was determined using the same corporate
multiplier used in the calculation of cash incentives for our other named executive officers and an individual multiplier of 1.0. Pursuant to Mr. Landews separation agreement, his cash incentive payment was prorated for the time he was
employed during fiscal 2009, and determined using the same corporate multiplier used in the calculation of cash incentives for our other named executive officers and an individual multiplier of 0.5.
For fiscal 2009, the Compensation and Personnel Committee approved a cash incentive earned for the following named executive officers. Our cash
incentives are paid following the completion of fiscal year, based on performance using preliminary actual financial results during the just-completed fiscal year.

Stock Option and Restricted Stock Equity Awards
Our equity compensation program is the primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives to our executives. We believe that equity grants provide our
executives with incentives to achieve long-term corporate performance, create an ownership culture and help to align executives interests with those of our stockholders. In addition, we believe the vesting feature of our equity grants provides
an incentive to our executives to remain with our company. We have adopted stock ownership guidelines for our executives to encourage the long-term accumulation of a meaningful amount of our stock, and to align the interests of our named executive
officers with stockholders. The guidelines encourage, but do not require, ownership of stock at a certain multiple of such officers annual base salary.
The Chief Executive Officers employment agreement establishes an annual equity target of 30,000 nonqualified stock options, subject to review by the Board. We do not establish individual annual equity targets
for other named executive officers.
In determining the size and nature of equity grants to our executives, the Compensation and Personnel
Committee considers our company-wide performance, the applicable executives performance, external market data and the expected stock compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R). For fiscal 2009, larger equity awards were granted to key
executives to align their target total direct compensation closer to market median levels given the need to retain and reward key executives necessary for the companys long term success. To determine equity grants, target total cash
compensation was deducted from market median levels for target total direct compensation. The Chief Executive Officer then undertook an individualized review of this calculation, adjusting for other factors such as performance, experience levels,
and criticality of role. The actual number of stock options and restricted stock granted to each executive in August 2009 were derived by taking the equity value and applying a 3:1 split (i.e. 1 share of restricted stock for every 3 stock options).
Prior to fiscal 2006, we generally granted only stock options as long-term incentives to our employees. In fiscal 2006, we began granting a mix of stock option and restricted stock awards to our executives and other employees.
We typically grant restricted stock awards at no cost to the executive. Because the shares have a built-in value at the time the restricted stock grants
are made, we generally grant fewer shares of restricted stock than the number of stock options we would grant for a similar purpose. The August 2009 grants awarded resulted in a ratio of 1 share of restricted stock for every 3 stock options.
In addition to our annual performance-based grants as part of our overall compensation program, we typically make an initial equity award
to a new executive upon commencement of employment.
The exercise price of all stock options is equal to the closing price of our class A
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. All equity grants must be approved in advance of or on the date of grant either by the Compensation and Personnel Committee or under the limited authority delegated to the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer.
The stock options and restricted stock we grant to our executives typically vest at a rate of 25% per
year on the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. In the case of stock options, the term of the option is typically ten years. Vesting ceases and unvested options are forfeited on the date of termination of affiliation with the company,
with an option to exercise vested options for sixty days from the termination date, except in the case of death or total disability where the option holder has up to one year to exercise vested options. For those option holders that retire, the
holder will have up to two years to exercise vested options pursuant to a retirement agreement. Prior to the exercise of a stock option, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to such option, including no voting
rights and no right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents. In the case of restricted stock, the holder has voting and dividend rights to both vested and unvested awards.
Dr. Sloanes fiscal 2009 target of 30,000 option shares was established pursuant to his employment agreement, and the actual grant was
calculated at the end of the year by applying the same quantitative multiplier (.42) and qualitative multiplier (.83) used in calculating his fiscal 2009 cash incentive award described above. This calculation resulted in the grant of an option to
purchase 10,458 shares of class A common stock, which was granted to Dr. Sloane on August 17, 2009.
For other named executive
officers, the annual equity grant was recommended by the Chief Executive Officer based on review of individual performance, compensation history, scope of responsibility, internal equity, external market data and experience level. The Chief
Executive Officers recommendations were reviewed and approved by the Compensation and Personnel Committee. Mr. Nadeau received a grant of 6,700 restricted stock shares and 56,100 non-qualified stock options effective with the commencement
of his employment with the company. Mr. Atkin received a grant of 6,500 restricted stock shares and 26,000 non-qualified stock options effective with the commencement of his new role as Chief Operating Officer as of December 22, 2008. This
grant was based on a review of internal and external equity as well as his increased responsibility in his new role. Mr. Atkin also received a grant of 9,813 restricted stock shares and 29,439 non-qualified stock options on August 17,
2009. Mr. Burke received a grant of 9,655 restricted stock shares and 28,965 non-qualified stock options on August 17, 2009. Mr. Schultz received a grant of 4,653 restricted stock shares and 13,959 non-qualified stock options on
August 17, 2009. Ms. Burgum received a grant of 11,400 non-qualified stock options on February 16, 2009 as part of a one time key employee retention grant. Ms. Burgum also received an annual grant of 5,843 restricted stock shares
and 17,529 non-qualified stock options on August 17, 2009.
Benefits and Other Compensation
We maintain broad-based benefits that are provided to all employees, including health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance and a
company-sponsored 401(k) plan. Executives are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans on the same basis as other employees.
22
We match a portion of employee contributions into the 401(k) plan. Our matching contribution is made
annually after each calendar year end, and the maximum matching contribution available for any employee during fiscal 2009 was $4,375. All employees, including executive officers, are subject to the same matching formula.
In particular circumstances, we award one-time hiring incentives in the form of cash or equity upon an executives commencement of employment. The
amount of a hiring bonus, if any, is determined on a case-by-case basis. For example, we will consider paying signing bonuses to offset the economic loss for unvested cash or equity value forfeited by an executive upon terminating prior employment,
to assist with relocation expenses or to create additional incentive for an executive to join our company in a position where there is high market demand.
Per Dr. Sloanes employment agreement, we awarded him a hiring bonus, consisting of three payments totaling $280,000. We paid $30,000 upon hire and an additional $125,000 on July 20, 2007. We paid the
remaining $125,000 on July 25, 2008. These amounts were determined by the Compensation and Personnel Committee, after consulting with our Chairman. In addition, we provided Dr. Sloane a monthly living allowance of $8,000 from his April
2007 hire date through April 2009. Under the terms of Mr. Nadeaus employment agreement, the company paid him a one-time signing bonus of $15,000 upon commencement of employment.
Severance and Change-of-Control Benefits
Pursuant to
the employment agreements we have entered into with Dr. Sloane and Mr. Nadeau, they are entitled to specified benefits in the event of termination of or change in employment under specified circumstances, including termination following a
change in control of our company. The other named executive officers currently do not have similar benefits.
The change-of-control
benefits have been structured as double trigger benefits. The severance benefits are paid only if, upon a change in control, Dr. Sloane is subsequently not offered the position of President or Chief Executive Officer of the
successor companys ultimate parent company, and in the case of Mr. Nadeau, if he is not offered the position of Chief Financial Officer or operating sector lead of the combined or surviving company. We believe a double trigger
benefit maximizes stockholder value because it prevents an unintended windfall to Dr. Sloane or Mr. Nadeau in the event of a friendly change of control, while still providing them appropriate protection in the event a change in control
results in the loss of job or position.
We have provided more detailed information about these benefits, along with estimates of their
value under various circumstances in the Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control section of this Proxy Statement.
Tax and
Accounting Considerations
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally disallows a tax deduction to
public companies for certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to our Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers. Certain compensation, including qualified performance-based compensation, will not be subject to the
deduction limit if specified requirements are met. The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviews the potential effect of Section 162(m) periodically and generally seeks to structure the long-term incentive compensation granted to our
executive officers with option issuances in a manner that is intended to minimize disallowance of deductions under Section 162(m). Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that compensation attributable to awards granted under the 2002 Stock
Incentive Plan will be treated as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). In addition, the Compensation and Personnel Committee reserves the right to use its judgment to authorize compensation payments that may be subject
to the limit when the Compensation and Personnel Committee believes such payments are appropriate and in the best interests of SRA and our stockholders, after taking into consideration changing business conditions and the performance of its
employees.

The bonus for Dr. Sloane of $30,000 in fiscal 2007, $125,000 in fiscal 2008 and $125,000 in fiscal 2009 represent the first, second, and final installments, respectively, of
his hiring bonus. The bonus for Mr. Nadeau of $15,000 represents a one-time signing bonus.

|
The amounts in these columns represent the expense recognized in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, in connection with awards made during fiscal 2009 and during prior years,
in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Assumptions used in the calculation of these expenses are described in note 1 to our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009 included in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 25, 2009. Unlike the amounts reported in our audited financial statements, amounts presented in the table do not reflect any estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting. Instead, they assume that the
executive will remain with our company long enough to fully vest in the award. For Mr. Hughes and Mr. Landew, the fiscal 2009 amounts reflect actual expense associated with stock awards and option awards that vested during the year up
until their date of separation with the Company.

In fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008, our executive cash incentive bonuses were paid over a three year period, with 70% of the earned amount paid at the end of the fiscal year for which
it was initially earned. The remaining 30% was paid in equal amounts of 15% at the end of the next two fiscal years, as long as the executive remained employed by our company. Amounts in this column for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 reflect 70% of the
bonuses earned for the indicated fiscal year and 15% of the bonuses earned for each of the two prior fiscal years. In fiscal 2009, our executive cash incentive bonuses were paid over a one year period, with payment of 100% of the bonus earned for
the indicated fiscal year, 30% of the bonus earned for fiscal 2008 and 15% of the bonus earned for fiscal 2007. For Mr. Nadeau and Mr. Schultz, no bonuses were earned for periods prior to fiscal 2009, as employment with the company began
effective June 1, 2009 and June 16, 2008, respectively. For Mr. Hughes and Mr. Landew, the amount reflected is 100% of their fiscal 2009 bonuses earned. The remaining 30% from fiscal 2008 and 15% from fiscal 2007 are included in
their severance payments.
|
(4)
|
For Dr. Sloane, this consists of both his $8,000 monthly housing allowance and his annual 401(k) company matching contribution. His housing allowance was guaranteed for a
period of two years. For fiscal 2009, this amount consisted of his $8,000 monthly housing allowance for the nine remaining months and a 401(k) company matching contribution of $4,375. For Mr. Hughes, the fiscal 2009 amount consists of his
severance payment of $1,023,315, final accrued leave pay-out of $188,651 and 401(k) company matching contribution of $4,375. For Mr. Landew, the fiscal 2009 amount consists of his severance payment of $383,114, final accrued leave pay-out of
$46,558 and 401(k) company matching contribution of $4,375. For Ms. Burgum, Mr. Atkin, Mr. Burke and Dr. Volgenau, this consists of their annual 401(k) company matching contributions for fiscal 2009.

Equity grants made to the executive officers effective August 15, 2008 were based upon the Compensation and Personnel Committees evaluation of the executives
performance for fiscal 2008. Mr. Nadeau received a grant of 6,700 restricted stock shares and 56,100 nonstatutory stock options upon hire. Mr. Atkin received a grant on February 16, 2009 in conjunction with his appointment as Chief
Operating Officer. Ms. Burgum received a key employee grant on February 16, 2009.

The amount set forth in the target column represents the target annual cash incentive plan payment established for each named executive officer. The amount in the
threshold column represents the minimum that would be earned if the named executive officers individual multiplier was 0 or if the corporate multiplier was 0 (or, in the case of Dr. Sloane, if the qualitative multiplier or the
quantitative multiplier was 0). Mr. Schultz had a guaranteed minimum of 75% of his target amount pursuant to the terms of his offer of employment. The amount under the maximum column represents the maximum that could be earned if the
individual multiplier was 1.3 and the corporate multiplier was 1.3 (or, in the case of Dr. Sloane, if the qualitative multiplier was 1.0 and the quantitative multiplier was 1.69), which are the highest multipliers attainable in each case.
|
The actual amount earned under our annual cash incentive plan by each of the named executive officers for fiscal 2009
performance was as follows: Stanton Sloane, $256,221; Richard Nadeau, $13,000; Melissa Burgum, $53,102; Timothy Atkin, $102,574; Mark Schultz, $116,250; and Pat Burke, $108,000.
For fiscal 2009, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Schultz was paid 75% of his target bonus amount. Mr. Nadeau began his
employment on June 1, 2009. The amounts paid to Mr. Hughes and Mr. Landew, each of whom separated from the Company during fiscal 2009, were determined in accordance with the terms of their respective
27
separation agreement and were $219,000 and $84,000, respectively. Mr. Volgenau does not participate in the Cash Incentive Plan and did not receive a
payment in fiscal 2009. A complete description of our annual cash incentive plan, and the determination of the target amounts for each named executive officer, is found in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of this Proxy Statement, in the
section entitled Annual Cash Incentives.
(3)
|
The amounts in these columns represent the full amount of the expense we will recognize in connection with awards made during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 over the
entire term of the award in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Assumptions used in the calculation of these expenses are described in note 1 of our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009 included in our Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2009. Unlike the amounts reported in our audited financial statements, these amounts do not reflect any estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting. Instead, they assume
that the executive will remain with our company long enough to fully vest in the award. For Mr. Hughes and Mr. Landew, the entire value of these grants was forfeited as of their dates of separation from the Company, which was June 30,
2009 and May 15, 2009, respectively.

Consists of elective base salary deferrals made by Mr. Hughes during fiscal 2009. This amount is also included in the amount reported as fiscal 2009 salary in the Summary
Compensation Table.
|
During fiscal 2009, executives were permitted to voluntarily defer up to 50% of their base salary and up
to 100% (less statutory tax withholding) of their paid cash incentive bonus into the 2005 Plan. At the time a deferral election is made, the executive may elect the time and manner of distribution, subject to Internal Revenue Service regulations,
including recent 409A legislation. Salary and bonus amounts deferred remain assets of our company during the period of deferral. Once deferred, the executive may request that we invest their deferrals in a variety of mutual funds managed by Fidelity
Investments. Since 2005, executives may no longer contribute to the 1995 Plan, although their balances and deferral elections remain in place pursuant to their original elections. Deferrals may be invested similar to the 2005 plan.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
Pursuant to the employment agreement we have entered into with Dr. Sloane and Mr. Nadeau, and the agreements associated with their one-time equity grants, they are entitled to specified benefits in the event of termination of or
change in employment under specified circumstances, including following a change in control of our company. Dr. Sloane and Mr. Nadeau currently are the only named executive officers with these benefits.
Involuntary Termination.
Dr. Sloane will be entitled to the following severance benefits in the event of an involuntary termination without
cause, as defined in his agreement, whether before or after a change of control: (i) full vesting of all unvested non-qualified stock options and restricted stock shares; (ii) payment of 50% of his prior years earned
bonus; (iii) continuation of his base salary for 12 months; and (iv) continuation of employee benefits for 12 months, subject to reduction in the event Dr. Sloane receives comparable benefits from a subsequent employer.
Post-termination payment of bonus amounts and continuation of Dr. Sloanes base salary and benefits are contingent upon his execution of an agreement releasing SRA from any and all liability relating to his employment, and his compliance
with the confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants set forth or incorporated in his employment agreement.
Under the
terms of his employment agreement, cause generally means: (i) conviction of a crime or plea of guilty involving a felony of moral turpitude; (ii) willful engagement in fraud; (iii) willful misconduct or gross negligence
resulting in material harm to the Company; (iv) willful violation of our policies; (v) the failure to maintain the necessary governmental clearances or (vi) continued failure to perform duties after notice and an opportunity to cure.
Mr. Nadeau will be entitled to the following severance benefits in the event of an involuntary termination without cause
or termination for good reason, whether before or after a change of control: (i) all wages earned but unpaid prior to the termination date, payable within 60 days of termination; (ii) all accrued but unused personal leave,
payable within 60 days of termination; (iii) distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan, if Mr. Nadeau participated in such plan; (iv) a lump sum payment of any annual cash bonus earned and unpaid from the previous two fiscal
years as of the termination date; (v) twelve (12) months of his base salary and (vi) for twelve months, the monthly amount equal to the cost of COBRA coverage, each payable in accordance with our normal payroll practices then in
effect.
31
If Mr. Nadeau is terminated for cause, voluntarily terminates his employment or his
employment is terminated upon his death or disability, he is entitled to receive (i) all wages earned but unpaid prior to the termination date, payable within 60 days of termination; (ii) all accrued but unused personal leave, payable
within 60 days of termination; and (iii) distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan, if Mr. Nadeau participates in such plan. He may elect to continue his health coverage under COBRA at his cost. Mr. Nadeaus employment
agreement also contains provisions whereby Mr. Nadeau agreed to protection of our proprietary information, a one year non-competition obligation and a two year non-solicitation obligation.
Under the terms of his agreement, cause generally means: (i) a breach of the terms of the employment agreement; (ii) any allegation
reasonably determined by the Company to be credible of any act of fraud, disloyalty, negligence in performing duties, a crime or misdemeanor, any action that harms our reputation or relationship with customers, stockholders or employees; or
(iii) the failure to maintain the necessary governmental clearances. Good reason generally means: (i) a material diminution in the executives duties or responsibilities or (ii) a material change in
Mr. Nadeaus principal place of employment such that his commuting distance has increased by more than fifty miles.
The
following table sets forth an estimate of the benefits that would have accrued for Dr. Sloane in the event employment had been terminated without cause as of the end of fiscal 2009.

Change of Control.
The following tables set forth an estimate of the benefits that would have accrued to Dr. Sloane and Mr. Nadeau in the
event our company had experienced a change of control, as such term is defined in their respective employment agreements, as of the end of fiscal 2009.
Dr. Sloane:
In the event of a change in control that results in Dr. Sloane not receiving an offer of employment to serve as the President and/or Chief Executive Officer of the surviving entity, or
parent company thereof, then all of Dr. Sloanes outstanding, unvested nonqualified stock options and restricted stock will vest as of the effective date of the change in control. For the purpose of his agreement, change in control means
the consummation of a merger, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction, unless our voting stock represents more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity, or stockholder approval of the sale of all or substantially all SRA
assets or a plan of liquidation of SRA, unless our voting stock represents more than 50% of the voting power of the purchasing entity.
Mr. Nadeau:
If, upon a change in control, we become a subsidiary of the acquiror and Mr. Nadeau is not offered the position of Chief Financial Officer or an operating sector leader, or, if upon a change in control, we do not
become a subsidiary of the acquiror and Mr. Nadeau is not offered the position of Chief Financial Officer or operating sector leader, then Mr. Nadeau shall receive the following benefit, as applicable:
|
|
|
If Mr. Nadeau is offered a position with the material responsibilities of a Chief Financial Officer or operating sector leader of a division roughly equal to
the size of the Company prior to the change in control, then 80% of all unvested nonstatutory options and shares of restricted stock shall vest in full as of the date of the change in
|
32
|
control, and provided that Mr. Nadeau remains employed with the acquiror or the Company for one year following the change in control, the remaining 20%
of such unvested nonqualified options and restricted stock shall vest as of the one year anniversary of the change in control; or
|
|
|
|
If Mr. Nadeau does not receive, in connection with the change in control, an offer of employment with the material responsibilities of a Chief Financial
Officer or operating sector leader of a division roughly equal to the size of the Company prior to the change in control, then all of the unvested nonqualified options and restricted stock shall vest in full as of the date of the change in control.
|
For purposes of his agreement, change in control generally means the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) a new significant stockholder acquires more than 35% of the voting power of the Company, subject to certain exceptions; (ii) a material change in
the composition of our Board of Directors; or (iii) a merger, reorganization, asset sale or similar transaction, subject to certain exceptions.

Separation Agreements

As previously reported, we entered into two separation agreements with named executive officers during fiscal 2009, the terms of which are described below.
We entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Landew as of March 31, 2009, in connection with his departure from the Company on May 15, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of his separation agreement,
Mr. Landew received a lump sum payment consisting of: (i) $101,919, representing earned but unpaid amounts of bonuses earned during fiscal years 2007 and 2008; (ii) $46,557, representing accrued and unused leave; (iii) $253,000;

in an amount determined to be $84,000. All unvested options as of the separation date expired. The agreement also included nondisclosure obligations, and a one-year non-solicitation and non-disparagement obligation. The agreement also included a
general release of claims.
Additionally, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Landew to provide sales and marketing
consulting during the period June 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. The aggregate payment due to Mr. Landew under the consulting agreement is $343,800.
On January 5, 2009, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Hughes in connection with his retirement from the Company. Pursuant to the terms of his separation agreement, Mr. Hughes received a
lump sum payment, paid within 15 days of his retirement date, consisting of: (i) $365,000, representing one year of base salary; (ii) $116,505, representing unpaid amounts of bonuses earned during fiscal years 2007 and 2008; (iii) a
cash amount representing accrued and unused leave; (iv) $12,000, in lieu of outplacement assistance; (v) $29,810, representing the estimated cost of COBRA premiums for 18 months following the separation date; and (vi) $500,000.
Mr. Hughes was also eligible to receive a pro rata bonus for fiscal 2009 under our Cash Incentive Plan (as described above), in an amount determined to be $219,000. Any amounts in Mr. Hughes deferred compensation account were to be paid in
accordance with the 2005 Plan. All unvested options as of the separation date expired. The agreement also included nondisclosure obligations, and a one-year non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement obligation. The agreement also

PROPOSAL 3 RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit and Finance
Committee of the Board of Directors has selected the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as our independent registered
public accounting firm since March 2002. The Audit and Finance Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the fiscal year, if it determines that such a change would be in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Although stockholder approval of the Audit and Finance Committees selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP is not required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable to
give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. If this proposal is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors may reconsider the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP.
Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if
they desire to do so and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

beyond the date of such next annual meeting of stockholders.
3. Quorum. A majority of the Directors at any time in office shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business, provided that in no case shall less than one-third of the number of Directors fixed in accordance with Section 1 of this Article NINTH constitute a quorum. If at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be
