 2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 Section 1. PURPOSE OF PLAN 
 The purpose of
the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Ducommun Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), is to enable the Corporation and its subsidiaries to attract, retain and motivate their employees and nonemployee
directors by providing for or increasing the proprietary interests of such persons in the Corporation. 
 Section 2. PERSONS ELIGIBLE UNDER PLAN

 Any person who is a current or prospective employee or a nonemployee director of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (a
“Participant”) shall be eligible to be considered for the grant of Awards (as hereinafter defined) hereunder. 
 Section 3. AWARDS

 (a) The Board of Directors and/or the Committee (as hereinafter defined), on behalf of the Corporation, is authorized under this Plan
to enter into any type of arrangement with a Participant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan and that, by its terms, involves or might involve the issuance of (i) shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the
Corporation (“Common Shares”) or (ii) a Derivative Security (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as such Rule may be amended from time
to time) with an exercise or conversion privilege at a price related to the Common Shares or with a value derived from the value of the Common Shares. The entering into of any such arrangement is referred to herein as the “grant” of an
“Award.” 
 (b) Awards are not restricted to any specified form or structure and may include, without limitation, sales or bonuses
of stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock purchase warrants, other rights to acquire stock, securities convertible into or redeemable for stock, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, dividend equivalents,
performance units or performance shares, and an Award may consist of one such security or benefit, or two or more of them in tandem in the alternative. 
 (c) Common Shares may be issued pursuant to an Award for any lawful consideration as determined by the Board of Directors and/or the Committee, including, without limitation, services rendered by the recipient of such
Award. 
 (d) Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Board of Directors and/or the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall
determine all of the terms and conditions of each Award granted under this Plan, which terms and conditions may include, among other things: 







 (i) a provision permitting the recipient of such Award, including any recipient who is a
director or officer of the Corporation, to pay the purchase price of the Common Shares or other property issuable pursuant to such Award, or such recipient’s tax withholding obligation with respect to such issuance, in whole or in part, by any
one or more of the following: 
 (A) the delivery of previously owned shares of capital stock of the Corporation (including
“pyramiding”) or other property, provided that the Corporation is not then prohibited from purchasing or acquiring shares of its capital stock or such other property, 
 (B) a reduction in the amount of Common Shares or other property otherwise issuable pursuant to such Award, or 
 (C) the delivery of a promissory note, the terms and conditions of which shall be determined by the Committee. 
 (ii) a provision conditioning or accelerating the receipt of benefits pursuant to such Award, either automatically or in the discretion
of the Board of Directors and/or the Committee, upon the occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, a change of control of the Corporation, an acquisition of a specified percentage of the voting power of the Corporation, the
dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, a sale of substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation or an event of the type described in Section 7 hereof; or 
 (iii) a provision required in order for such Award to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code (an “Incentive Stock Option”), provided that the recipient of such Award is eligible under the Internal Revenue Code to receive an Incentive Stock Option. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to stock options and stock appreciation rights issued under the Plan, the Board of Directors and/or the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall determine the exercise or base price per Common Share subject to such Awards, which, in no event will be less than the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Shares on the date of grant; provided, however, that the exercise or base
price per Common Share with respect to a stock option or stock appreciation right that is granted in connection with a merger or other acquisition as a substitute or replacement award for options and/or stock appreciation rights held by employees or
directors of the acquired entity may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the date such Award is granted if such exercise or base price is based on an adjustment method or formula set forth in the terms of the awards
held by such individuals or in the terms of the agreement providing for such merger or other acquisition. For purposes of the Plan, the term “Fair Market Value” means, as of any given date, the closing sales price on such date (or, if
there are no reported sales on such date, on the last date prior to such date on which there were sales) of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape. 







 (f) The Board of Directors and/or the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine the
term of each stock option and stock appreciation right awarded under the Plan, which in no case shall exceed a period of ten (10) years from the date of grant. 
 (g) Other than in connection with a change in the Corporation’s capitalization (as described in Section 7) the exercise or base price of a stock option or stock appreciation right may not be reduced without
shareholder approval (including canceling previously granted Awards and regranting them with a lower exercise or base price). 
 (h)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance share, performance unit and other similar Awards will occur when and in such
installments and/or pursuant to the achievement of such performance criteria, in each case, as the Board of Directors and/or the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine. In addition, the performance criteria for any such
Awards (or portions thereof) that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code will be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the
Committee and specified when such Award is granted. 
 (i) For purposes of the Plan, the term “Qualifying Performance Criteria”
shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Corporation as a whole or to a business unit or subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in
any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the
Committee: earnings per share (diluted and/or basic), revenue, net profit after tax, gross profit, operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), cash flow, asset
quality, stock price performance, unit volume, return on equity, change in working capital, return on capital or shareholder return. To the extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee (A) shall appropriately adjust any
evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to eliminate the effects of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items and all items of gain, loss or expense determined to be extraordinary or unusual
in nature or related to the disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in accounting principle all as determined in accordance with standards established by opinion No. 30 of the Accounting Principles Board (APA Opinion
No. 30) or other applicable or successor accounting provisions, as well as the cumulative effect of accounting changes, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or identified in the
Corporation’s financial statements, notes to the financial statements and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Corporation’s annual report to shareholders for the
applicable year, and (B) may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: (i) asset write-downs,
(ii) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and (v) accruals
of any amounts for payment under this Plan or any other compensation arrangement maintained by the Corporation. 







 Section 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN 
 (a) The aggregate number of Common Shares issued and issuable pursuant to all Awards granted under this Plan shall not exceed 600,000, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 7 hereof; provided however, that no more than 200,000 of such Common Shares may be issued pursuant to Awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights. 
 (b) For purposes of Section 4(a) hereof, the aggregate number of Common Shares issued under this Plan at any time shall equal only the number of
Common Shares actually issued upon exercise or settlement of an Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Common Shares subject to an Award under the Plan may not again be made available for issuance under the Plan if such Common Shares are:
(i) Common Shares that were subject to a stock-settled stock appreciation right and were not issued upon the net settlement or net exercise of such stock appreciation right, (ii) Common Shares used to pay the exercise or purchase price of
a stock option or other Award, (iii) Common Shares delivered to or withheld by the Corporation to pay the withholding taxes related a stock option or stock appreciation right, or (iv) Common Shares repurchased on the open market with the
proceeds of a stock option exercise. Common Shares subject to Awards that have been canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under an Award and Common Shares subject to Awards settled in cash shall not count as Common Shares issued under
this Plan. 
 (c) The aggregate number of Common Shares subject to Awards under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant
shall not exceed 600,000. 
 Section 5. DURATION OF PLAN 
 Awards shall not be granted under this Plan after March 20, 2017. Although Common Shares may be issued after March 20, 2017 pursuant to Awards granted prior to such date, no Common Shares shall be issued
under this Plan after March 20, 2027. 
 Section 6. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN 
 (a) This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Committee”), or, in the
absence of a Committee, the Board of Directors itself. Any power of the Committee may also be exercised by the Board of Directors, except to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause any Award or transaction to become
subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or cause an Award otherwise intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)
of the Code not to qualify for such treatment. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board of Directors conflicts with action taken by the Committee, the Board of Directors action shall control. The Committee may by resolution or
written policy authorize one or more officers of the Corporation to perform any or all things that the Committee is authorized and empowered to do or perform under 








 
the Plan, and for all purposes under this Plan, such officer or officers shall be treated as the Committee; provided, however, that the resolution or policy
so authorizing such officer or officers shall specify that the total number of Awards (if any) such officer or officers may award pursuant to such delegated authority shall not exceed the annual allotment of shares approved by the Committee, and any
such Award shall be subject to the form of award agreement theretofore approved by the Committee. No such officer shall designate himself or herself as a recipient of any Awards granted under authority delegated to such officer. In addition, the
Committee may delegate any or all aspects of the day-to-day administration of the Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Corporation or any subsidiary, and/or to one or more agents. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Board of Directors and/or the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or
desirable in connection with the administration of this Plan, including, without limitation, the following: 
 (i) adopt,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan; 
 (ii) determine which persons are Participants and to which
of such Participants if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder; 
 (iii) grant Awards to Participants and determine the terms
and conditions thereof, including the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant thereto; 
 (iv) determine the extent to
which adjustments are required pursuant to Section 7 hereof; 
 (v) interpret and construe this Plan and the terms and
conditions of all Awards granted hereunder; and 
 (vi) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for
the administration of this Plan. 
 Section 7. ADJUSTMENTS 
 If the outstanding securities of the class then subject to this Plan are increased, decreased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property or a different number or kind of securities, or if cash, property or
securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding securities, in either case as a result of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification, dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend)
or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split or the like, or if substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation are sold, then, unless the terms of such transaction shall provide otherwise, the Board of Directors and/or
the Committee shall make appropriate and proportionate adjustments in (a) the number and type of, and exercise price for, shares or other securities or cash or other property that may be acquired pursuant to Incentive Stock Options and other
Awards theretofore granted under this Plan, (b) the maximum number and type of shares or other securities that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options and other Awards thereafter granted under this Plan, and (c) the number and
type of shares or other securities subject to the individual limits set forth in Section 4 of this Plan. 







 Section 8. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 
 The Board of Directors may amend or terminate this Plan at any time and in any manner, provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall
deprive the recipient of any Award theretofore granted under this Plan, without the consent of such recipient, of any of his or her rights thereunder or with respect thereto. In addition, the Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, or
reconcile any inconsistency in any award agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to effectuate the purposes of the Plan and the related Award. 
 Section 9. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN 
 This Plan shall be effective as of March 20, 2007
provided, however, that no Common Shares may be issued under this Plan until it has been approved, directly or indirectly, by the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the securities of the Corporation present, or represented, and
entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 Section 10. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS 

(a) No Common Shares issuable pursuant to an Award shall be issued or delivered unless and until, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, all
applicable requirements of federal, state and other securities laws, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and any applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange on which shares of the same class are then listed, shall have been fully
complied with. The Corporation shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver any Common Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such shares under any foreign, federal, state or local law or
any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Corporation is unable to or the Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Corporation’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Shares hereunder, the Corporation and its subsidiaries shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the
failure to issue or sell such Common Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No Award shall be exercisable and no Common Shares shall be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless a registration
statement with respect to the Common Shares underlying such Award is effective and current or the Corporation has determined that such registration is unnecessary. 
 (b) It is the Corporation’s intent that the Plan shall comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time. If any provision of the Plan is
found not to be in compliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, such provision shall be null and void. 







 (c) The Committee may provide that the Common Shares issued upon exercise of an Award or otherwise
subject to or issued under an Award shall be subject to such further agreements, restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Committee in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such Award or the grant, vesting or settlement of such
Award, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the Common Shares issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award (including the actual or
constructive surrender of Common Shares already owned by the Participant) or payment of taxes arising in connection with an Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant
or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Common Shares issued under an Award, including without limitation (i) restrictions under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (ii) restrictions designed to delay
and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Participant and holders of other Corporation equity compensation arrangements, (iii) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers and
(iv) provisions requiring Shares to be sold on the open market or to the Corporation in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations.
