You will participate in the Leadership Incentive Compensation Plan (LICP). Your LICP opportunity for the 2017 fiscal year is 75% of your annual base salary, which will be pro-rated based on the number of days you are a participant during the year.

You further authorize PAE to deduct from any pending wages or expense reimbursements due to you upon termination either all or any portion of the amount you owe PAE from the bonus, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Additionally, if you remain an active employee in good standing, you will receive a retention bonus in the amount of $200,000.00 less applicable tax withholdings. Payments for this retention will be over two years within 30 days following your anniversary date as follows: payment 1 in the amount of $100,000.00 paid after twelve months of service; payment 2 in the amount of $100,000.00 paid after twenty-four months of service.. Provided, however, that if the company terminates your employment involuntarily for reasons other than cause, you will receive the full retention payment within thirty days of your termination effective date. If there is a change in control prior to the third anniversary, you will be owed a pro-rated calculation of the retention for your days of active employment upon the event for any remaining amount owed.
