 Exhibit 10.2 

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 13th day of April 2021, by and between
Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (the “Company”), and Michael Bruen (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, Executive
currently serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to
amend and restate all prior agreements, whether verbal or written, regarding the terms of employment of Executive and formalize the terms of employment by which Executive has been serving the Company, and on which basis Executive agrees to
continue to serve the Company as set forth herein; and 
 WHEREAS, in contemplation of an initial public offering of the common stock of the
Company (the “Transaction”), the Company desires to continue to employ Executive and to enter into this Agreement embodying the terms and conditions of such employment, and Executive desires to enter into this Agreement and to
continue to be employed by the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are mutually acknowledged, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows. 

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth
on Appendix A, attached hereto. 
 Section 2. Acceptance and Term of Employment. The Company agrees to employ
Executive, and Executive agrees to serve the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The term of employment shall commence on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Effective Date”) and continue until
December 31, 2024 (the “Initial Term”). The term of employment shall automatically renew for one-year periods beginning on December 31, 2024 (each, a “Renewal
Term”), unless either the Executive or the Company delivers a written notice of nonrenewal to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to such Renewal Term (the Initial Term together with each Renewal Term, are referred to as
the “Term of Employment”). The effectiveness of this Agreement is contingent on the closing of the Transaction on or before December 31, 2021. If the closing of the Transaction does not occur for any reason by December 31,
2021, this Agreement will be void ab initio. 
 Section 3. Position, Duties and Responsibilities; Performance; Place of Performance. 

(a) Position, Duties, and Responsibilities. Executive shall be employed and serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer of the Company (together with such other position or positions consistent with Executive’s title as the Board shall specify from time to time) and shall have such duties and responsibilities commensurate with such title and as the Board
may designate from time to time. In addition, Executive shall be appointed to serve as a director on the Board and, as applicable, at each annual stockholders’ meeting during the Term of Employment, shall be nominated for re-election to the Board, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board in making such appointment and renomination. 

  
 1 













 (b) Performance. Executive shall devote his business time, attention, skill, and best
efforts to the performance of his duties under this Agreement and shall not engage in any other business or occupation during the Term of Employment that (i) conflicts with the interests of the Company, (ii) interferes with the proper and
efficient performance of Executive’s duties for the Company, or (iii) interferes with Executive’s exercise of judgment in the Company’s best interests. Nothing herein, however, shall preclude Executive from (A) serving
on the boards of directors or similar governing body of charitable or civic organizations, (B) with the prior written consent of the Board, serving on the board of directors, trustees or similar governing body of a for-profit entity and (C) managing his personal investments, business and affairs, including those listed on Schedule I, provided, however, that such activities shall be limited by
Executive so as not to materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. 

(c) Place of Performance. Executive shall be based at the Company’s corporate headquarters in Reston, Virginia. 

Section 4. Compensation. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation: 

(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay Executive a base salary at a rate of not less than $415,000 per year, payable in accordance with
the regular payroll practices of the Company (the “Base Salary”). During the Initial Term, Executive’s Base Salary shall be increased annually by the greater of (i) 3% of Executive’s then current Base Salary,
(ii) an amount equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, Mid-Atlantic Region, published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, or (iii) such
amount as may be determined by the Compensation Committee. After the Initial Term, Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Compensation Committee who may (but is not obligated to) adjust such Base Salary in its sole
discretion; provided that Base Salary shall not be decreased without the prior written consent of Executive. Any increase in Base Salary shall be Executive’s “Base Salary” for all purposes under this
Agreement. 
 (b) Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual cash bonus award (the “Annual Bonus”)
based on the achievement level (threshold, target or maximum) of performance on objectives adopted by the Compensation Committee within the first three months of each fiscal year during the Term of Employment. Such performance objectives generally
will correspond to those established for other members of senior management. During each fiscal year, if the threshold level of performance on objectives is achieved, Executive’s Annual Bonus will be 25% of Executive’s Base Salary, if the
target level of performance on objectives is achieved, Executive’s Annual Bonus will be 50% of Executive’s Base Salary (which number is the “Target Annual Bonus”) and if maximum level of performance on objectives is
achieved, Executive’s Annual Bonus will be 100% of Base Salary. If the level of performance falls between achievement levels (that is, threshold, target or maximum), lineal interpolation shall be used to determine the amount of Executive’s
Annual Bonus for such year. Any earned Annual 

  
 2 













 
Bonus for a fiscal year shall be paid to Executive during the following fiscal year at the same time as annual bonuses are generally payable to other senior executives of the Company, subject to
Executive’s continuous employment through the applicable performance period, but in no event later than the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of such fiscal year. For fiscal year 2021 and the 2021 performance period, the minimum
Annual Bonus payable to Executive shall be $200,000. 
 (c) Annual Equity Awards. 

(i) Executive will be eligible to participate in the long-term equity incentive plan(s) adopted by the Company from time to
time, including without limitation, under the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (as applicable, the “Equity Plan”). In addition, commencing in fiscal year 2022 and for each fiscal year thereafter, Executive shall be
entitled to receive a long-term equity award under the Equity Plan subject to such vesting, other performance terms, including Company business objectives, and other conditions as the Compensation Committee shall determine. Such award shall have a
value equal to 35% of Executive’s Base Salary at the threshold level, 75% of Executive’s Base Salary at the target level, and 150% of Executive’s Base Salary at the maximum level. The number of shares underlying any such equity award
shall be determined by dividing the dollar value of the award by the Average Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock. If the level of Company business objectives and other performance terms set by the Compensation Committee falls
between achievement levels (that is, threshold, target or maximum), lineal interpolation shall be used to determine the amount of Executive’s long term equity award for such year. 

(ii) Executive shall not directly or indirectly, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber shares of the Company’s common
stock awarded under the Equity Plan as collateral for indebtedness, including but not limited to, holding such shares in a margin account or any other account that could cause the common stock to be subject to a margin call or otherwise be available
as collateral for a margin loan. 
 (d) Transaction Cash Bonus. In consideration of the Transaction, Executive shall receive a one-time cash bonus in the amount of $250,000. Such bonus shall be payable in four (4) installments, the first such installment to be paid 30 days after the Effective Date, and the second installment to be paid
90 days after the Effective Date, the third installment to be paid 180 days after the Effective Date and the fourth and final installment to be paid 270 days after the Effective Date. 

Section 5. Employee Benefits. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits: 

(a) Executive shall be entitled to participate in such 401(k) and employee health, welfare and benefit plans and programs of the Company as are
made available to the Company’s senior level executives or employees generally, as such plans and programs may be in effect from time to time. 

  
 3 













 (b) Executive shall be entitled to (i) a vehicle allowance of $1,500 monthly together
with such other benefits related to vehicles as are made available to the Company’s senior level executives generally, and (ii) the maximum permitted Company contribution to Executive’s health savings account, if Executive is eligible
for such contribution. 
 Section 6. Reimbursement of Expenses. Executive is authorized to incur reasonable business expenses in
carrying out his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, and the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all such reasonable business expenses, subject to documentation in accordance with the Company’s policies, as in effect
from time to time. 
 Section 7. Termination of Employment. 

(a) General. The Term of Employment shall terminate earlier than as provided in Section 2 upon the earliest to occur of
(i) Executive’s death, (ii) a termination by reason of a Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, and (iv) a termination by Executive with or without Good Reason. Upon any termination of
Executive’s employment for any reason, except as may otherwise be requested by the Company in writing and agreed upon in writing by Executive, Executive shall resign from any and all directorships, committee memberships, fiduciary and any other
positions Executive holds with the Company or any Subsidiary or with respect to any of its benefit plans. 
 (b) Termination Due to Death

effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination. Upon Executive’s death or if Executive’s employment is terminated due to Disability, Executive, his estate, or his beneficiaries, as applicable, shall be
entitled to: 
 (i) The Accrued Rights; 

(ii) An amount equal to the greater of (x) the sum of Executive’s Base Salary for the years remaining in his Term of Employment, or
(y) the sum of (A) one year of Executive’s then current Base Salary and (B) the Executive’s Target Annual Bonus; 

(iii) Any unpaid amounts remaining under the Transaction Cash Bonus; and 

(iv) Fully accelerated vesting and immediate lapse of restrictions on the unvested portion of any equity awards previously granted. 

Following Executive’s death or a termination of Executive’s employment by reason of a Disability, except as set forth in this Section 7(b) and
Section 14, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (c)
Termination by the Company for Cause. 
 (i) The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause relying on
clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Cause effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of termination. A termination of employment for Cause under this Section (c)(i) shall require the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the Board (not including Executive) at a meeting of the Board called and held for this purpose. 

  
 4 













 
The Board shall identify the conduct of Executive constituting grounds for Cause and specify the particulars thereof in reasonable detail. Executive shall have been provided notice of the meeting
and an opportunity, together with counsel, to address the Board at any such meeting. 
 (ii) With respect to any termination of Executive for
Cause relying on clauses (i), (ii) or (v) of the definition of Cause, the Board of the Company shall provide Executive with written notice of its intention to terminate Executive for Cause. Such notice shall state in detail the act or acts or
failure or failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based, and Executive shall be given at least thirty days (30) days to cure such acts or failures to act. A termination of employment for Cause
under this Section (c)(ii) shall be effective at the expiration of the 30-day cure period (or such longer period as the Board may determine in its reasonable, good faith discretion) unless Executive has cured
such act or acts or failure or failures to act that give rise to Cause, as determined by the Board in its reasonable, good faith discretion at a meeting called and held for this purpose. Executive shall be provided with notice of the meeting and an
opportunity, together with counsel, to address the Board. Any actions by the Board at such meeting shall require the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the Board (not including Executive). 

(iii) In the event of a termination for Cause, Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Rights, excluding Executive’s Pro Rata
Bonus. Following such termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause and Executive complies with Section 7(h) hereof, Executive shall be entitled to: 

(i) The Accrued Rights; 
 (ii) An
amount equal to the greater of (x) the sum of the Executive’s Base Salary for the years remaining in his Term of Employment, or (y) the sum of (A) one year of Executive’s then current Base Salary and (B) one year of

(v) Subject to Executive’s election of COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan, the Company shall cover the

terminate if the Executive becomes eligible to obtain benefits under a subsequent employer’s benefit plan, and 

  
 5 













 (vi) At the Company’s expense, continuation of the benefits in Section 5(b) until
the later or (A) one year from the Date of Termination or (B) the end of the Term of Employment.

other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (e) Termination by Executive with Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment
with Good Reason by providing the Company written notice setting forth in reasonable specificity the event that constitutes Good Reason, such notice to be received within thirty (30) days’ following the date that the Executive became aware
of such event. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall have thirty (30) days to cure. If not cured within such period, Executive’s termination shall be effective no later than thirty (30) days following the expiration of
such cure period, and Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 7(d) hereof for a termination by the Company without Cause, subject to the same conditions on payment and benefits as described in
Section 7(d) and Section 7(h) hereof. Following the Date of Termination of Executive pursuant to this Section 7(e), except as set forth in Section 7(e) and Section 14, Executive shall have no further rights to any
compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
 (f) Termination related to Change in Control. If at any time during
the period beginning 90 days prior to a Change in Control and ending one (1) year after a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason and Executive complies
with Section 7(h) hereof, Executive shall be entitled to: 
 (i) The Accrued Rights;

 6 













 (vi) At the Company’s expense, continuation of the benefits in Section 5(b) until
the later or (A) one year from the Date of Termination or (B) the end of the Term of Employment.     
 The payments and
benefits described in clauses (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above shall immediately terminate, and the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive with respect thereto, if Executive breaches any provision of the Restrictive Covenants

 (g) Termination by Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment without Good Reason by providing the
Company thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. In the event of a termination of employment by Executive under this Section 7(g), Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Rights. In the event of
termination of Executive’s employment under this Section 7(g), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date of termination or remove him from any officer or director positions without
changing the characterization of such termination as a termination by Executive without Good Reason. Following the Termination Date of Executive pursuant to this Section 7(g), except as set forth in Section 7(g) and Section 14,
Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (h)

and Transaction Bonus) (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon Executive’s execution, delivery to the Company, and non-revocation of the Release of Claims (and
the expiration of any revocation period contained in such Release of Claims) within sixty (60) days following the date of Executive’s Date of Termination. Within fifteen (15) business days after the condition in the preceding
sentence is satisfied, amounts owed as Severance Benefits shall be payable in a single lump sum to Executive. If Executive fails to execute the Release of Claims in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the
end of such sixty (60) day (or shorter) period, or timely revokes his acceptance of such release following its execution, Executive shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits.

(i) Termination Procedures. 

(i) Notice of Termination. Any written notice of termination given under Section 7 of this
Agreement shall be provided to the other party in accordance with Section 18. In addition, any written notice pertaining to a termination by the Company for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason shall meet the requirements of a Notice of
Termination. A “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (A) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, to the extent applicable, (B) sets forth in reasonable detail the
facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and (C) the Date of Termination. 

  
 7 













 (ii) Date of Termination. “Date of
Termination” means (A) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the date of expiration of the cure period set forth in Section 7(c), (B) if Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive for
Good Reason, thirty (30) days following the date of expiration of the cure period specified in Section 7(e), (C) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability, the date on which the
Company notifies Executive of such termination, (D) if Executive voluntarily resigns without Good Reason or terminates his employment for Good Reason related to a Change in Control, the date at least thirty (30) days after Executive
notifies the Company, subject to the Company’s right to accelerate such date of termination without changing the characterization of such termination, and (E) if Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death, the date of
death of Executive, or if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company due to Disability, the date that written notice of determination of Executive’s Disability is made by the Determining Physician. 

Section 8. Certain Payments. 

(a) In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise
(“Payments”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this section, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code,
any successor provisions, or any comparable federal, state, local or foreign excise tax (“Excise Tax”), then, subject to the provisions of this Section 8, such Payments shall be either (A) provided in full pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, or (B) provided as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to the Excise Tax (“Reduced Amount”), whichever of the
foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state, local and foreign income, employment and other taxes and the Excise Tax (including, without limitation, any interest or penalties on such taxes), results in the receipt by
Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of payments and benefits provided for hereunder or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Payments may be subject to the Excise
Tax. 
 (b) Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 8 shall be made
by an independent advisor designated by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (“Independent Advisor”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For
purposes of making the calculations required under this Section, the Independent Advisor may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application
of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code; provided that the Independent Advisor shall assume that Executive pays all taxes at the highest marginal rate. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Independent Advisor such information and
documents as the Independent Advisor may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs that Independent Advisor may incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this
Section. Any reduction of the Payments payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing the cash payments under Section 7, second by reducing COBRA reimbursement and lastly by reducing any other Payments in a manner
determined by the Company, in consultation with Executive in accordance with Code Section 409A. 

  
 8 













 (c) If Executive is determined to be entitled to a Reduced Amount pursuant to
Section 8(a) and, notwithstanding any reduction described in this Section 8 (or in the absence of any such reduction), the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) determines that Executive is liable for the Excise Tax as a result
of the receipt of one or more Payments, then Executive shall be obligated to surrender or pay back to the Company, within one hundred twenty (120) days after a final IRS determination, an amount of such payments or benefits equal to the
“Repayment Amount.” The Repayment Amount with respect to such Payments shall be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be surrendered or paid to the Company so that Executive’s net proceeds with respect to
such Payments (after taking into account the payment of the excise tax imposed on such Payments) shall be maximized. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repayment Amount with respect to such Payments shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more
than zero would not eliminate the Excise Tax imposed on such Payments or if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not maximize the net amount received by Executive from the Payments. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this
Section 8, Executive shall pay the Excise Tax. 
 Section 9. Restrictive Covenants. Executive acknowledges and recognizes the
highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and accordingly agrees, as a condition of Executive’s continued employment with the Company, to be bound by and comply with the Restrictive Covenants contained in Appendix B
attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 1 of Appendix B or a
material breach or material threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 2 of Appendix B of this Agreement would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened
breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form
of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

Section 10. Representation and Warranty of Executive. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive has had
the opportunity to consult with, and is represented by, his own tax and legal advisor(s) in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement. 

Section 11. Taxes. The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not
limited to income, employment, and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. Executive acknowledges and represents that the Company has not provided any tax advice to him in connection with this Agreement and that he has been advised
by the Company to seek tax advice from his own tax advisors regarding this Agreement and payments that may be made to him pursuant to this Agreement, including specifically, the application of the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to such
payments.

 Section 12. Additional Section 409A Provisions. 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary: 

(a) Any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to Executive at any date as a result of the termination of Executive’s employment
shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “Specified Employee Delay Period”). On the first business day following the expiration of
the Specified Employee Delay Period, Executive shall be paid, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, and any remaining payments not so delayed shall continue to
be paid pursuant to the payment schedule set forth herein. 
 (b) Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a
separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (c) To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment
of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company
no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Executive, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to
liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided, that the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement
covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect. 

(d) The payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under
Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Executive as
a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A of the
Code). If any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, after
consulting with and receiving the approval of Executive, reform such provision in a manner intended (but not guaranteed by the Company) to avoid the incurrence by Executive of any such additional tax or interest.

 Section 13. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. 

(a) The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective successors and
assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, obligations, or interests arising hereunder may be assigned by the Company to a Person without Executive’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or
conditioned); provided, however, that in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company may provide that this Agreement will be assigned to, and assumed by, the acquiror of such
assets without Executive’s consent.
 (b) Executive. Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall
not be transferable by Executive by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company, except that Executive may assign benefits payable in the event of Executive death under Section 7(b) of this Agreement to a trust of
which he is the sole beneficiary during his lifetime. In the event of Executive’s death, all amounts then payable to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee,
legatee, trust, or other designee, or if there be no such designee, to Executive’s estate. 
 (c) No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7(b) or Section 13(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Company and Executive any legal or
equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. 
 Section 14. Disputes; Legal Fees.

 (a) Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively in the courts of
the State of Delaware or if appropriate, a federal court located in the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division (which courts, for purposes of this Agreement and the Release of Claims, are the only courts of competent
jurisdiction). The parties hereto irrevocably agree to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Delaware or federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia in any action or proceeding brought with respect to or in
connection with this Agreement. In the event of any material contest or dispute relating to this Agreement or the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, each of the parties shall bear its own costs and expenses, except that the
Company agrees to promptly reimburse Executive for his costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Executive in connection with such contest or dispute, in the event that Executive substantially prevails
in such contest or dispute. Any reimbursements that become payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid within 15 days following receipt of an appropriately detailed invoice. 

(b) Legal Fees Incurred in Negotiating the Agreement. The Company shall pay, or Executive shall be reimbursed for Executive’s
reasonable legal fees incurred in negotiating and drafting this Agreement up to a maximum of $10,000. 
 Section 15. Waiver and
Amendments. Any waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties; provided, however, that any such waiver,
alteration, amendment, or modification must be consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Compensation Committee and the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver
with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. 

  
 11 













 Section 16. Severability. If any covenants or such other provisions of this
Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision
hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof. 

Section 17. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND IS TO BE CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF
