Exhibit 10.8

SI INTERNATIONAL, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK BONUS AWARD AGREEMENT
EVIDENCING GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNDER THE
SI INTERNATIONAL, INC. 2002
AMENDED AND RESTATED OMNIBUS STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK BONUS AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the
Grant Date set forth on the Notice of Restricted Stock Bonus Award hereto by and
between (i) SI International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and
(ii) the undersigned Participant, an employee, Director or Consultant of the
Company or an Affiliate as named on the Notice of Restricted Stock Bonus Award
(the “Notice”) hereto.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meaning ascribed to such terms in the SI International, Inc. 2002 Amended
and Restated Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time
according to its terms, the “Plan”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as
follows:

1.             Issuance of Shares.

(a)           The Company hereby issues to the Participant (the “Participant”)
named in the Notice, the Total Number of Shares of Common Stock Awarded set
forth in the Notice (the “Shares”), subject to the Notice, this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of the Plan, as amended from time to time, which are
incorporated herein by reference.  All Shares issued hereunder will be deemed
issued to the Participant as fully paid and nonassessable shares, and the
Participant will have the right to vote the Shares at meetings of the Company’s
stockholders.  The Company shall pay any applicable stock transfer taxes imposed
upon the issuance of the Shares to the Participant hereunder.

(b)           Participant Bound by Plan.  A copy of the Plan has been provided
to Participant, and Participant has completely and carefully reviewed this
Agreement and the Plan.  As an inducement to the Company to issue the Restricted
Shares to Participant, and as a condition thereto, Participant agrees to be
bound by all of the terms of the Plan and this Agreement with respect to the
Restricted Shares and the other terms, conditions, and agreements set forth in
this Agreement and in the Plan.  The Plan is by this reference incorporated
herein and made a part hereof.

(c)           Binding Agreement; Noncontravention.  As an inducement to the
Company to enter into this Agreement, to issue the Restricted Shares to
Participant, and issue the Common Stock upon vesting thereof, and as a condition
thereto, Participant represents and warrants to the Company that this Agreement
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Participant, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement by Participant do not and shall not conflict with, violate or
cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Participant is
a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Participant is subject.

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(d)           Retention of Company’s Rights.  As a further inducement to the
Company to enter into this Agreement, to issue the Restricted Shares to
Participant, and issue the Common Stock upon vesting thereof, and as a condition
thereto, Participant acknowledges and agrees that no agreement or arrangement
between the Participant and the Company or any Affiliate (including, without
limitation, the grant of Restricted Shares to Participant, the issuance of
Restricted Shares upon vesting thereof, and the execution and delivery of this
Agreement) shall (i) entitle Participant to remain in Continuous Service with
the Company or any Affiliate for any period of time, (ii) confer upon
Participant the right to be selected again at any time in the future as a Plan
participant, or (iii) provide for any adjustment to the number of Restricted
Shares subject to such award upon the occurrence of subsequent events except as
provided in the Plan.

2.             Transfer Restrictions.  The Shares issued to the Participant
hereunder may not be sold, transferred by gift, pledged, hypothecated, or
otherwise transferred or disposed of by the Participant prior to the date when
the Shares become vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the
Notice.  Any attempt to transfer Restricted Shares in violation of this
Section 2 will be null and void and will be disregarded.

3.             Escrow of Stock.  For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of
the provisions of this Agreement, the Participant agrees, immediately upon
receipt of the certificate(s) for the Restricted Shares, to deliver such
certificate(s), together with an Assignment Separate from Certificate in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed in blank by the Participant with
respect to each such stock certificate, to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary
of the Company, or their designee, to hold in escrow for so long as such
Restricted Shares have not vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in
the Notice, with the authority to take all such actions and to effectuate all
such transfers and/or releases as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish
the objectives of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.  The
Participant hereby acknowledges that the appointment of the Secretary or
Assistant Secretary of the Company (or their designee) as the escrow holder
hereunder with the stated authorities is a material inducement to the Company to
make this Agreement and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is
accordingly irrevocable.  The Participant agrees that the Restricted Shares may
be held electronically in a book entry system maintained by the Company’s
transfer agent or other third-party and that all the terms and conditions of
this Section 3 applicable to certificated Restricted Shares will apply with the
same force and effect to such electronic method for holding the Restricted
Shares.  The Participant agrees that such escrow holder shall not be liable to
any party hereto (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless
such escrow holder is grossly negligent relative thereto.  The escrow holder may
rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature
purported to be genuine and may resign at any time.  Upon the vesting of
Restricted Shares, the escrow holder will, without further order or instruction,
transmit to the Participant the certificate evidencing such Shares, subject to
Section 5 below.

4.             Additional Securities and Distributions.  Any securities or cash
received (including a regular cash dividend) as the result of ownership of the
Restricted Shares (the “Additional Securities”), including, but not by way of
limitation, warrants, options and securities received as a stock dividend or
stock split, or as a result of a recapitalization or reorganization or other
similar change in the Company’s capital structure, shall be retained in escrow
in the same manner and subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the
Restricted Shares with respect to which they were issued, including, without
limitation, the Vesting Schedule set forth in the

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice.  The Participant shall be entitled to direct the Company to exercise any
warrant or option received as Additional Securities upon supplying the funds
necessary to do so, in which event the securities so purchased shall constitute
Additional Securities, but the Participant may not direct the Company to sell
any such warrant or option.  If Additional Securities consist of a convertible
security, the Participant may exercise any conversion right, and any securities
so acquired shall constitute Additional Securities.  In the event of any change
in certificates evidencing the Shares or the Additional Securities by reason of
any recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction that results in the
creation of Additional Securities, the escrow holder is authorized to deliver to
the issuer the certificates evidencing the Shares or the Additional Securities
in exchange for the certificates of the replacement securities.

5.             Taxes.

(a)           No Section 83(b) Election.  As a condition to receiving the
Shares, the Participant agrees to refrain from making an election pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Shares.

(b)           Tax Liability. The Participant is ultimately liable and
responsible for all taxes owed by the Participant in connection with this
Agreement, regardless of any action the Company or any Affiliate takes with
respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with this
Agreement.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate makes any representation or
undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with
the grant or vesting of the Restricted Shares or the subsequent sale of Shares
subject to this Agreement.  The Company and any Affiliate does not commit and
are under no obligation to structure this Agreement to reduce or eliminate the
Participant’s tax liability.

(c)           Payment of Withholding Taxes. Prior to any event in connection
with this Agreement (e.g., vesting of Restricted Shares) that the Company
determines may result in any tax withholding obligation, whether United States
federal, state, local or non-U.S., including any employment tax obligation (the
“Tax Withholding Obligation”), the Participant must arrange for the satisfaction
of the minimum amount of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable
to the Company.

(i)            By Share Withholding.  The Participant authorizes the Company to,
upon the exercise of its sole discretion, withhold from those Shares issuable to
the Participant the whole number of Shares sufficient to satisfy the minimum
applicable Tax Withholding Obligation.  The Participant acknowledges that the
withheld Shares may not be sufficient to satisfy the Participant’s minimum Tax
Withholding Obligation.  Accordingly, the Participant agrees to pay to the
Company or any Affiliate as soon as practicable, including through additional
payroll withholding, any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not
satisfied by the withholding of Shares described above.

(ii)           By Sale of Shares.  Unless the Participant determines to satisfy
the Tax Withholding Obligation by some other means in accordance with clause
(iii) below, the Participant’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes the
Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company and any brokerage
firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on the
Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

issuable to the Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to
generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable Tax
Withholding Obligation.  Such Shares will be sold on the day such Tax
Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a vesting date) or as soon thereafter as
practicable.  The Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and
other costs of sale, and the Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the
Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any
such sale.  To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Participant’s
minimum Tax Withholding Obligation, the Company agrees to pay such excess in
cash to the Participant.  The Participant acknowledges that the Company or its
designee is under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular
price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to satisfy
the Participant’s minimum Tax Withholding Obligation.  Accordingly, the
Participant agrees to pay to the Company or any Affiliate as soon as
practicable, including through additional payroll withholding, any amount of the
Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the sale of Shares described
above.

(iii)          By Check, Wire Transfer or Other Means. At any time not less than
five (5) business days (or such fewer number of business days as determined by
the Administrator) before any Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a vesting
date), the Participant may elect to satisfy the Participant’s Tax Withholding
Obligation by delivering to the Company an amount that the Company determines is
sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by (x) wire transfer to
such account as the Company may direct, (y) delivery of a certified check
payable to the Company, or (z) such other means as specified from time to time
by the Administrator.

6.             Stop-Transfer Notices.  In order to ensure compliance with the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Notice or the Plan,
the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer
agent, if any, and, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make
appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

7.             Refusal to Transfer.  The Company shall not be required (i) to
transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in
violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner
of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser
or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

8.             Restrictive Legends.  The Participant understands and agrees that
the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially
equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of
the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company
or by state or federal securities laws:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THAT
CERTAIN RESTRICTED STOCK BONUS AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE
PARTICIPANT.  THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY
OF THE COMPANY.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.             Nonsolicitation.  As an inducement to the Company to enter into
this Agreement, to issue the Restricted Shares to Participant, and issue the
common stock upon vesting thereof, and as a condition for Participant retaining
the right to receive the Restricted Shares under the terms hereof, Participant
covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)           Non-Solicitation and Non-Hiring of Participants.  For the term of
Participant’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following the
termination of Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate for
any reason, Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, on Participant’s own
behalf or the behalf of another person or entity: (i) induce or attempt to
induce any person employed by the Company or any Affiliate to leave their
employment with the Company or any Affiliate; (ii) hire or employ, or attempt to
hire or employ, any person employed by the Company or any Affiliate; or (iii)
assist any other person or entity in the hiring of any person employed by the
Company or any Affiliate.

(b)           Non-Competition With Customers and Prospective Customers. 
Participant agrees that, for the term of Participant’s employment and for a
period of twelve (12) months following the termination of Participant’s
employment with the Company or any Affiliate for any reason, Participant shall
not, directly or indirectly, engage or attempt to engage in providing services
to any Customer or Prospective Customer where such services or products are
competitive with the services offered by the Company or any Affiliate to the
Customer.  This restriction shall apply only within 50 miles of any location
where SI provides services to the Customer.  For purposes of this Agreement,
“Customer” shall mean any division, department, operating unit, group, or other
appropriate sub-entity of a government agency (i) to whom Participant, or
persons directly or indirectly under Participant’s supervision, provided
services (whether as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor to another
company) during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the
Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or any Affiliate or
(ii) with whom Participant interacted on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate
during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Participant’s
termination of employment with the Company or any Affiliate.  For purposes of
this Agreement, “Prospective Customer” shall mean any division, department,
operating unit, group, or other appropriate sub-entity of a government agency to
whom the Participant, at any time during the six month period immediately
preceding the termination of Participant’s employment, was involved in
soliciting or making a proposal, on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate, for
the provision of services.

(c)           Non-Interference With Customers or Prospective Customers.
Participant further agrees that, for the term of Participant’s employment and
for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of Participant’s
employment with the Company or any Affiliate for any reason, the Participant
shall not undertake to purposefully interfere with the relationship of the
Company or any Affiliate with any Customer or Prospective Customer.  This means
that Participant shall refrain: (i) from making disparaging comments about the
Company or any Affiliate, or their respective management or employees to any
Customer or Prospective Customer; (ii) from attempting to persuade any Customer
or Prospective Customer to cease doing business with the Company or any
Affiliate; or (iii) from soliciting any Customer or Prospective Customer for the
purpose of providing services

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

competitive with the business of the Company or any Affiliate; or (iv) from
assisting any person or entity in doing any of the foregoing.

(d)           Severability and Modification.  Each of the covenants above is
separate and independent, and in the event that one or more of the provisions
herein shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties expressly agree
and authorize the court to modify the agreement so as to render such agreement
or provision thereof valid enforceable or to sever the unenforceable provision
and enforce the remaining the provisions.

10.           Administration and Interpretation.  Any question or dispute
regarding the administration or interpretation of the Notice, the Plan or this
Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant or by the Company to the
Administrator.  The resolution of such question or dispute by the Administrator
shall be final and binding on all persons.

11.           Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a)           Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(b)           Complete Agreement.  This Agreement, the Notice of Restricted
Stock Bonus Award hereto and the Plan embody the complete agreement and
understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior
under­standings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written
or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(c)           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in separate
counterparts, none of which need contain the signature of more than one party
hereto but each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(d)           Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement shall bind the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or not.

(e)           Choice of Law.  All questions con­cerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits
hereto shall be governed by the internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of
the State of Delaware.

(f)            Equitable Remedies.  Each of the parties to this Agreement agree
and acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy if
Participant or any other holder of the Shares were to breach any of the
provisions of Sections 2 or 9 hereof, and that the

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of
competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violations of the provisions of Sections 2 or 9 of this Agreement.

(g)           Amendment, Modification and Cancellation of Restricted Shares. 
The Board may amend, modify or cancel any Restricted Shares in any manner to the
extent that the Board would have had the authority under the Plan initially to
grant such Restricted Shares; provided that no such amendment or modification
shall impair the rights of Participant under this Agreement without the consent
of the Participant.

(h)           Business Days.  If any time period for giving notice or taking
action hereunder expires on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday
in the State of Delaware, the time period shall be automatically extended to the
business day immediately following such Saturday, Sunday or holiday.

(i)            Descriptive Headings; Interpretation; No Strict Construction. 
The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and
do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement.  Whenever required by
the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding
masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns,
and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa.  Reference to any agreement,
document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended
or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof,
and if applicable hereof.  The use of the words “include” or “including” in this
Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation.  In the event an
ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall
be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
