2006 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
(Restated* September 27, 2013)
		
	1.
	Establishment of Plan. 


Leidos Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) proposes to grant options for purchase of the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock or the Company’s Common Stock as determined by the Committee to eligible employees of the Company and its Participating Subsidiaries pursuant to this 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (this “Plan”).  The Company intends this Plan to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code (as may be amended from time to time), although the Company makes no undertaking or representation to maintain such qualification.  In addition, the Plan authorizes the grant of options under a Non-423 Plan Component pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Board (or its designate) designed to achieve desired tax or other objectives.  To the extent that the Company grants options to employees of its Affiliates, such grants shall be made under the Non-423 Plan Component.  Any term not expressly defined in this Plan but defined for purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the same definition herein.

	Purpose.


The purpose of this Plan is to provide eligible employees of the Company and Participating Subsidiaries with a convenient means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to enhance such employees’ sense of participation in the affairs of the Company and Participating Subsidiaries, and to provide an incentive for continued employment.  For the purposes of this Plan, “employee” shall mean any individual who is an employee of the Company or a Participating Subsidiary.  Whether an individual qualifies as an employee shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  The Committee shall be guided by the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(e) and Section 3401(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as to employees in the United States, with the intent that the Plan cover all “employees” within the meaning of those provisions other than those who are not eligible to participate in the Plan, provided, however, that any determinations regarding whether an individual is an “employee” shall be prospective only, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.  Unless the Committee makes a contrary determination, the employees of the Company shall, for all purposes of this Plan, be those individuals who are employees of the Company or a Participating Subsidiary for regular payroll purposes or are on a leave of absence for not more than 90 days.  Any inquiries regarding eligibility to participate in the Plan shall be directed to the Committee, whose decision shall be final. 
		
	5.
	Administration. 


This Plan shall be administered by the Committee.  The Committee may delegate certain administrative responsibilities to an Employee Stock Purchase Committee, including (a) prescribing, amending and rescinding rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (b) prescribing forms for carrying out the provisions and purposes of the Plan; (c) interpreting the Plan; and (d) making all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including factual determinations.  Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have all authority to (i) determine and change the percentage discount pursuant to Section 10, (ii) determine and change the Offering Periods and Offering Dates pursuant to Section 7, (iii) determine and change the purchase price for shares pursuant to Section 10, (iv) prescribe minimum holding periods for the Shares issued under this Plan, and (v) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan.  All decisions of the Committee and the Employee Stock Purchase Committee shall be final and binding upon all participants.  Members of the Committee and the Employee Stock Purchase Committee shall receive no compensation for their services in connection with the administration of this Plan, other than standard fees as established from time to time by the Board for services rendered by Board members serving on 

4




Board committees.  All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Company. 
		
	6.
	Eligibility. 


Any employee of the Company or the Participating Subsidiaries is eligible to participate in an Offering Period (as hereinafter defined) under this Plan except the following: 
(a)    employees who are not employed by the Company or a Participating Subsidiary prior to the beginning of such Offering Period or prior to such other time period as specified by the Committee; 
(b)    employees who, together with any other person whose stock would be attributed to such employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries or who, as a result of being granted an option under this Plan with respect to such Offering Period, would own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of issued and outstanding stock of the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries; 
(c)    individuals who provide services to the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries as independent contractors who are reclassified as common law employees for any reason except for federal income and employment tax purposes; and 
(d)    employees who reside in countries for whom such employees’ participation in the Plan would result in a violation under any corporate or securities laws of such country of residence. 
Individuals who are not employees of the Company or a Participating Subsidiary shall not be eligible to participate in an Offering Period.
		
	7.
	Offering Dates. 


The Offering Periods of this Plan may be up to twenty-four (24) months in duration and may consist of up to eight (8) Purchase Periods of up to six (6) months in duration during which payroll deductions of the participants are accumulated under this Plan.  However, unless and until determined otherwise by the Committee, except for the First Offering Period, each Offering Period shall have a duration of three months and shall commence on April 1, July 1, October 1 or January 1 and each Offering Period shall have only one Purchase Period which shall run simultaneously with the Offering Period.  The First Offering Period shall commence and end on 

5




those dates determined by the Committee.  The Committee shall have the power to change the Offering Dates, the Purchase Dates and the duration of Offering Periods or Purchase Periods without stockholder approval if such change is announced prior to the relevant Offering Period or prior to such other time period as specified by the Committee. 
		
	8.
	Participation in this Plan. 


Eligible employees may become participants in an Offering Period under this Plan on the Offering Date, after satisfying the eligibility requirements, by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company prior to such Offering Date, or such other time period as specified by the Committee.  An eligible employee who does not deliver a subscription agreement to the Company after becoming eligible to participate in an Offering Period shall not participate in that Offering Period or any subsequent Offering Period unless such employee enrolls in this Plan by delivering a subscription agreement with the Company prior to such Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee.  Once an employee becomes a participant in an Offering Period by filing a subscription agreement, such employee shall automatically participate in the Offering Period commencing immediately following the last day of the prior Offering Period unless the employee withdraws or is deemed to withdraw from this Plan or terminates further participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Section 13 below.  Such participant is not required to file any additional subscription agreement in order to continue participation in this Plan. 
		
	9.
	 Grant of Option on Enrollment. 


Enrollment by an eligible employee in this Plan with respect to an Offering Period shall constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the Company to such employee of an option to purchase on the Purchase Date up to that number of Shares determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount accumulated in such employee’s payroll deduction account during such Purchase Period and the denominator of which is eighty-five percent (85%) (unless such percentage is changed pursuant to Section 10) of the fair market value of a Share on the Purchase Date (but in no event less than the par value of a Share), provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the maximum number of shares set by the Committee pursuant to Section 12(c) below with respect to the applicable Purchase Date, or (y) the maximum number of shares which may be purchased pursuant to Section 12(b) below with respect to the applicable Purchase Date.  The fair market value of a Share shall be determined as provided in Section 10 below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a change in generally accepted accounting principles which would adversely affect the accounting treatment applicable to any current Offering Period, the Committee may make such changes to the number of Shares purchased at the end of Purchase Period or the purchase price paid as are allowable under generally accepted 

6




accounting principles and as it deems necessary in the sole discretion of the Committee to avoid or minimize adverse accounting consequences. 
		
	10.
	Purchase Price. 


The purchase price per Share at which a Share shall be sold in any Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Shares on the Purchase Date; provided that the Committee may change the purchase price to be anywhere from eighty-five percent (85%) to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of a Share on the Offering Date or the Purchase Date. 
For purposes of this Plan, “fair market value” of a Share shall be determined as follows: 
(a)    Listed Stock.  If Shares are traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, fair market value shall be the closing sales price as quoted on that stock exchange or system for the day before the Value Date as reported in The Wall Street Journal or a similar publication.  If no sales are reported as having occurred on the day before the Value Date, fair market value shall be that closing sales price for the last preceding trading day on which sales of Shares are reported as having occurred.  If no sales are reported as having occurred during the five trading days before the Value Date, fair market value shall be the closing bid for the Shares on the day before the Value Date.  If the Shares of the Company are listed on multiple exchanges or systems, fair market value shall be based on sales or bid prices on the primary exchange or system on which Shares of the Company are traded or quoted. 
(b)    Stock Quoted by Securities Dealer.  If Shares are regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, fair market value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the day before the Value Date.  If no prices are quoted for the day before the Value Date, fair market value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the last preceding trading day on which any bid and asked prices were quoted. 
(c)    No Established Market.  If Shares are not traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system and are not quoted by a recognized securities dealer, the Committee (following guidelines established by the Board) will determine the fair market value of the Shares in good faith. 
(d)    Class A Preferred Stock.  If shares of the Company’s Common Stock are traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, the fair market value of shares of the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock shall be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock, as of the relevant valuation date, for all purposes under this Plan.

	11.
	Payment of Purchase Price; Changes in Payroll Deductions; Issuance of Shares. 


(a)    The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by regular payroll deductions made during each Offering Period.  The deductions are made as a percentage of the participant’s compensation in one percent (1%) increments, not less than one percent (1%), nor greater than ten percent (10%), or such lower limit set by the Committee. Compensation shall mean, in the case of employees subject to tax in the United States, all W-2 cash compensation, including, but not limited to, base salary, wages, bonuses, incentive compensation, commissions, overtime, shift premiums, plus draws against commissions, provided, however that compensation shall not include any long term disability or workers’ compensation payments, car allowances, relocation payments, expense reimbursements or payment of dividends on non-vested stock or payments representing dividends on stock units or stock rights and further provided, however, that for purposes of determining a participant’s compensation, any election by such participant to reduce his or her regular cash remuneration under Sections 125 or 401(k) of the Code shall be treated as if the participant did not make such election. In the case of employees not subject to tax in the United States, the Committee shall establish a comparable definition of compensation.  Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday of the Offering Period and shall continue to the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in this Plan.  If payroll deductions are not permitted in a jurisdiction, participants in that jurisdiction may contribute via check or pursuant to another method approved by the Committee. 
(b)    A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions during an Offering Period by filing with the Company a new authorization for payroll deductions, in which case the new rate shall become effective for the next payroll period commencing after the Company’s receipt and processing of the authorization and shall continue for the remainder of the Offering Period unless changed as described below.  Such change in the rate of payroll deductions may be made at any time during an Offering Period.  The Committee shall have the authority to impose restrictions on the number of increases or decreases a participant may make within an Offering Period as set forth in this Subsection (b) or in Section 11(c) below.
(c)    A participant may reduce his or her payroll deduction percentage to zero (0) during an Offering Period by filing with the Company a request for cessation of payroll deductions.  Such reduction shall be effective beginning with the next payroll period after the Company’s receipt of the request and no further payroll deductions shall be made for the duration of the Offering Period unless the rate of payroll deduction is subsequently increased.  Payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account prior to the effective date of the request shall be used to purchase Shares in accordance with Subsection (e) below.  A participant may subsequently increase his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period as long as he or she has not withdrawn participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Section 13 below.  

8




(d)    All payroll deductions made for a participant are credited to his or her account under this Plan and are deposited with the general funds of the Company.  No interest accrues on the payroll deductions, unless required by local law.  All payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions, unless required by local law. 
(e)    On each Purchase Date, for so long as this Plan remains in effect, and provided that the participant has not submitted a signed and completed withdrawal form before that date, which notifies the Company that the participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering Period under this Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in the account maintained on behalf of the participant, as of that date returned to the participant, the Company shall apply the funds then in the participant’s account to the purchase of whole and fractional Shares reserved under the option granted to such participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such option is exercisable on the Purchase Date.  The purchase price per share shall be as specified in Section 10 of this Plan.  In the event that this Plan has been oversubscribed, all funds not used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant, without interest.  No Share shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any employee whose participation in this Plan has terminated prior to such Purchase Date. 
(f)    As soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall issue shares for the participant’s benefit representing the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option. 
(g)    During a participant’s lifetime, his or her option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.  The participant shall have no interest or voting rights in shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised and shares have been issued to the participant. 
		
	12.
	Limitations on Shares to be Purchased. 


(a)    No participant shall be entitled to purchase stock under this Plan at a rate which, when aggregated with his or her rights to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any Subsidiary, exceeds $25,000 in fair market value, determined as of the Offering Date (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which the employee participates in this Plan.  The Company shall have the authority to take all necessary action, including but not limited to, suspending the payroll deductions of any participant, in order to ensure compliance with this Section. 
(b)    No participant shall be entitled to purchase more than the Maximum Share Amount on any single Purchase Date.  Prior to the commencement of any Offering Period or prior to such time period as specified by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, set a Maximum Share Amount.  The Maximum Share Amount shall be 625 shares.  If 

9




a new Maximum Share Amount is set, then all participants must be notified of such Maximum Share Amount prior to the commencement of the next Offering Period.  The Maximum Share Amount shall continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Purchase Dates and Offering Periods unless revised by the Committee as set forth above. 
(c)    If the number of shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all employees participating in this Plan exceeds the number of shares then available for issuance under this Plan, then the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as shall be reasonably practicable and as the Committee shall determine to be equitable.  In such event, the Company shall give written notice of such reduction of the number of shares to be purchased under a participant’s option to each participant affected. 
(d)    Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not used to purchase stock due to the limitations in this Section 12 shall be returned to the participant as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Purchase Period, without interest unless required by local law. 
		
	13.
	Withdrawal. 


(a)    Each participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under this Plan by signing and delivering to the Company a written notice to that effect on a form provided for such purpose.  Such withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee. 
(b)    Upon withdrawal from this Plan, the accumulated payroll deductions shall be returned to the withdrawn participant, without interest, and his or her interest in this Plan shall terminate.  In the event a participant voluntarily elects to withdraw from this Plan, he or she may not resume his or her participation in this Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may participate in any Offering Period under this Plan which commences on a date subsequent to such withdrawal by filing a new authorization for payroll deductions in the same manner as set forth in Section 8 above for initial participation in this Plan. 
(c)    At such times, if any, when there are multiple Purchase Periods within an Offering Period and the purchase price can be based on the fair market value at the beginning of the Offering Period, if the fair market value on the first day of the current Offering Period in which a participant is enrolled is higher than the fair market value on the first day of any subsequent Offering Period, the Company shall automatically enroll such participant in the subsequent Offering Period.  Any funds accumulated in a participant’s account prior to the first day of such subsequent Offering Period shall be applied to the purchase of shares on the Purchase Date immediately prior to the first day of such subsequent Offering Period, if any. 

10




		
	14.
	Termination of Employment. 


Termination of a participant’s employment for any reason, including retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible employee of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary, shall immediately terminate his or her participation in this Plan.  In such event, the payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account shall be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to his or her legal representative, without interest.  For purposes of this Section 14, an employee shall not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Board, provided, however that such leave is for a period of not more than ninety (90) days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. 
		
	15.
	Return of Payroll Deductions. 


In the event a participant’s interest in this Plan is terminated by withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise, or in the event this Plan is terminated by the Board, the Company shall deliver to the participant all payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account.  No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in this Plan, unless required by local law. 
		
	16.
	Capital Changes. 


Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves, as well as the price per Share covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares resulting from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Shares), any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares effected without receipt of any consideration by the Company or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the Company’s present Shares, provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”  Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an option. 
In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee.  The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that this Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee and 

11




give each participant the right to purchase shares under this Plan prior to such termination.  In the event of (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings and the options under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all participants), (ii) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any stockholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Company, (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iv) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or similar transaction, the Plan shall continue with regard to Offering Periods that commenced prior to the closing of the proposed transaction and shares shall be purchased based on the fair market value of the surviving corporation’s stock on each Purchase Date, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. 
The Committee may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per Share covered by each outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of its outstanding Shares, or in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation. 
		
	17.
	Nonassignability. 


Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under this Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Sections 25 or 26 below) by the participant.  Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be void and without effect. 
		
	18.
	Reports. 


Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant in this Plan.  Each participant shall receive, as soon as practicable after the end of each Purchase Period, a report of his or her account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of shares purchased, the per share price thereof and the remaining cash balance, if any, carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be. 
		
	19.
	Notice of Disposition. 



12




Each participant shall notify the Company in writing if the participant disposes of any of the shares purchased in any Offering Period pursuant to this Plan if such disposition occurs within the Notice Period.  The Company may, at any time during the Notice Period, place a legend or legends on any certificate representing shares acquired pursuant to this Plan requesting the Company’s transfer agent to notify the Company of any transfer of the shares.  The obligation of the participant to provide such notice shall continue notwithstanding the placement of any such legend on the certificates. 
		
	20.
	No Rights to Continued Employment. 


An employee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is not for any specified term and may be terminated by such employee or by the Company or a Subsidiary at any time, for any reason, with or without cause.  Nothing in this Plan shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or a Subsidiary nor constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or a Subsidiary regarding future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation. 
		
	21.
	Equal Rights and Privileges. 


All eligible employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to this Plan so that this Plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code and the related regulations (the “Section 423 Plan”), except for differences that may be mandated by local law and that are consistent with Code Section 423(b)(5); provided, however, that participants participating in the Non-423 Plan Component by means of rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted pursuant to Section 22 need not have the same rights and privileges as participants participating in the Section 423 Plan. 
		
	22.
	Additional Provisions to Comply with Local Law. 


The Committee may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable laws of state and local domestic United States and non-United States jurisdictions.  The Committee shall establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to this Plan containing such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall deem necessary or desirable.  To the extent inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 423, such sub-plans and/or supplements shall be considered part of the Non-423 Plan Component, and the options granted thereunder shall not be considered to comply with Code Section 423.  All supplements adopted by the Committee shall be deemed to be part of the Plan and the Company shall not be required to provide copies of any supplement to participants in any jurisdiction that is not the subject of such supplement.

	23.
	Notices. 


All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with this Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 
		
	24.
	Term; Stockholder Approval. 


After this Plan is adopted by the Board, this Plan shall become effective on the date on which the First Offering Period commences, subject to the effectiveness of the merger of SAIC Merger Sub, Inc. with and into Leidos, Inc. (formerly known as Science Applications International Corporation).
