NCI, INC.

CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 THIS EXECUTIVE CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is effective as of
this 1st day of November, 2016 by and between Paul A. Dillahay (“you”) and NCI, Inc. (the “Company”). 
 RECITALS

 The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes it is in the best interests of the Company to provide you, as
an executive officer with the Company, with compensation arrangements and equity benefits upon a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) that are intended to provide you with enhanced financial security, are competitive with those of other
companies, and provide sufficient incentive to you to remain at the Company as an employee through and after a Change in Control. 
 In
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and in consideration of your continuing employment by the Company, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

Article I. 
 Term of Agreement

 A. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date set forth above and shall continue in effect through
December 31, 2017. Commencing on January 1, 2018, and each January 1 thereafter, this Agreement shall be automatically extended for one additional year unless, not later than September 30 of the year preceding the renewal date, either party to this
Agreement has given notice to the other that the Agreement shall not be extended under this Article I(A); provided, however, that if a Change in Control or Potential Change in Control (as defined herein) has occurred during the term of
this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in effect until the later of 36 months beyond the month in which the latest Change in Control occurred or the next December 31 that is at least 18 months after the latest occurrence of a Potential Change
in Control unless earlier terminated as described below. 
 Article II. 

Equity Awards 
 A.
Outstanding Equity Awards. Any and all outstanding unvested equity awards, such as restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, held by you as of the date of a Change in Control shall automatically vest,
be deemed exercisable, be deemed non-forfeitable (to the extent not previously vested and non-forfeitable) and all restrictions on such awards shall automatically lapse.
This Agreement shall be deemed to be an “employment agreement” within the meaning of the Company’s equity incentive plan(s) and the applicable award agreements thereunder, but only with respect to an award granted on or after the date
of this Agreement. 

 Article III. 

Termination of Employment. 

A. Qualifying Terminations. If, during the Term of this Agreement and either within 36 months after a Change in Control or within a
Potential Change in Control Period (as defined herein), (1) your employment is terminated by the Company or any successor to the Company for any reason other than Cause, or (2) you terminate your employment due to Good Reason (a
“Qualifying Termination”), then you will be entitled to receive the severance payments and benefits set forth in Article IV below; provided, however, that no severance payments shall be made, or continuing benefits provided, under
this Agreement, if any of the following apply: 
  

	 	1.	you voluntarily resign or retire from employment other than timely resignation for Good Reason; 

  

	 	2.	you are terminated for Cause; 

  

	 	3.	your employment terminates as a result of death or Disability; or 

  

	 	4.	you decline to sign and return the Release Agreement set forth in Exhibit A hereto within thirty (30) days of your Date of Termination, or you revoke such Release Agreement within the time provided
therein. 

 B. Notice of Termination. After a Change in Control or Potential Change in Control, any purported
termination of your employment (other than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party in accordance with Article VI (G). 

C. Other Terminations. This Agreement does not apply to terminations of employment that occur prior to a Change in Control or after the
expiration of 36 months after a Change in Control and also outside of a Potential Change in Control Period. 
 Article IV. 

Severance Benefits. 
 A.
Severance Benefits. In lieu of any other severance compensation or benefits to which you may otherwise be entitled under any employment agreement or plan, program, policy or arrangement of the Company or any subsidiary, entitlement to which
you hereby expressly waive, the Company will pay you the payments described in this Article IV(A) (the “Severance Payments”) upon a Qualifying Termination. Any Severance Payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any
applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law. The compensation and benefits provided under this Article IV (A) are as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Accrued Compensation. An amount equal to the following amounts earned or accrued through your Date of Termination, but not paid as of the Date of Termination: 

 

	 	a.	base salary, 

  
 2 

	 	b.	annual incentive compensation earned for performance in the prior year that was completed at the Date of Termination, but which is not yet paid, 

 

	 	c.	reimbursement for reasonable and necessary, properly-receipted expenses incurred by you on behalf of the Company during the period ending on the Date of Termination, and 

 

	 	d.	accrued but unused vacation pay. 

 For purposes of subsection (b) above, the amount
payable shall be determined by the Company in good faith consistent with the treatment of other executives of the Company who were not terminated from employment and taking into past practice. 

 

	 	2.	Cash Severance. An amount equal to the sum of the following amounts: 

  

	 	a.	two times the higher of your annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the event or circumstance upon which the Notice of Termination is based or your annual base salary in effect immediately
prior to the Change in Control; and 

  

	 	b.	two times the amount of your target annual incentive compensation for the year in which the Notice of Termination is given under the annual incentive plan applicable to you as in effect immediately prior to the
occurrence of the event or circumstance giving rise to the Notice of Termination plus a pro-rated amount of the aggregate amount of your annual bonus opportunity at the target level for the year in which the
Notice of Termination is given under the annual incentive plan applicable to you as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the event or circumstances giving rise to the Notice of Termination, determined by multiplying your target level
bonus amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the annual performance measurement period through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365. 

 

	 	3.	Continuation of Welfare Benefits. Continuation under the terms provided to similarly situated active employees, at no cost to you, of life, medical and dental insurance coverage in which you (or your dependents)
was participating as of the Date of Termination (subject to such modifications as shall be established for all employees of the Company) until the earliest of: 

  

	 	a.	the eighteen month anniversary of your Date of Termination; 

  
 3 

	 	b.	the date you first breach the Release Agreement or any restrictive covenant hereunder or in any employment or other agreement with the Company which survives termination of your employment; or 

 

	 	c.	the date you become eligible for comparable benefits under a similar welfare benefit plan of a successor employer. 

If under the terms of the Company’s plan or insurance contract, the Company is unable to provide you with continued coverage for the
intended period, the Company’s sole obligation shall be to pay you a monthly amount equal to the Company’s cost of providing such coverage to you as an active employee. To the extent that your continuation coverage rights under COBRA
continue for more than eighteen months following your Date of Termination you will be eligible to continue coverage under COBRA for any remaining period. 

Notwithstanding the forgoing, at your election or the Company’s election, the Company will pay you a lump sum amount equal to the cost of
such COBRA coverage for the eighteen month period, and such amount will be grossed up for income tax purposes and shall be paid in connection with the timing of severance payments as described below. 

B. Timing of Severance Payments. Except as provided in Article IV (D) below, the cash payments described in Article IV
(A) shall be made within the time provided by law. No reimbursement of expenses under Article IV (A) shall be made after the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The payments described in Article IV
(A)(l)(b) and ARTICLE IV (A) (2) shall be made in a lump sum on the 45th day after your Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of any payments described in Article IV(A)(l)(b) and ARTICLE IV (A) (2) cannot be finally determined
on or before the due date provided in the prior sentence, the Company shall pay to you on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments as soon
as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than 20 business days after such due date. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, you shall be obligated to
repay such excess amount on the fifth business day after demand by the Company. 
 C. No Mitigation Required. You are not required to
seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to you by the Company hereunder. The amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result of
employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by you to the Company, or otherwise. 

D. Compliance with Code Section 409A. Each of the payments under Article IV(A)(l)(b), (2) and (3) above are designated as separate
payments for purposes of the short-term deferral rules under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(b)(4)(i)(F), the exemption for 

  
 4 

 
involuntary terminations under separation pay plans under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and the exemption for medical expense reimbursements under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(b)(9)(v)(B). As a result, (a) any payments that become vested as a result of a Qualifying Termination that are made on or before the 15th day of the third month of the calendar year following the
calendar year of the Executive’s termination, (b) any additional payments that are made on or before the last day of the second calendar year following the year of the Executive’s termination and do not exceed the lesser of two times
Base Salary or two times the limit under Code Section 401(a)(17) then in effect, and (c) the payment of medical expenses within the applicable COBRA period, are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. If you are
designated as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent that any deferred compensation payments to be made under any provision of this Agreement during the first six month period following
your separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), exceed such exempt amounts (whether specified in the preceding sentence or determined under applicable rules and regulations), the payments shall be withheld and the
amount of the payments withheld will be paid in a lump sum, together with interest on the unpaid amount at a rate equal to the short-term applicable federal rate (with semiannual compounding) established by the Internal Revenue Service under Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code and in effect at the date the amount would have been paid but for the delay hereunder, on the first business day of the seventh month after your separation from service. The parties hereto intend that, to the maximum extent
practicable, the rights to payment hereunder shall not give rise to constructive receipt of compensation prior to payment or to tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, the Company shall have no right to accelerate payments if and
to the extent that such right or an actual acceleration would result in such constructive receipt or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner which complies with
requirements of Section 409A of the Code so as to avoid such constructive receipt and tax penalties. The Company shall have the right to modify this Agreement to comply with Section 409A of the Code without obtaining your written consent. 

E. Gross-Up for Excise Tax and Related Provisions. In the event you become entitled to any
amounts payable under this Agreement or under any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, or the lapse or termination of any restriction under any agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement (the “Payments”), if
any of such Payments are subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code by reason of being considered “contingent on a change in ownership or control” of the Company within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Code, or any similar federal, state or local tax that may hereafter be imposed, the Company shall pay to you an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net
amount retained by you, after deduction of the total of (i) any Excise Tax on the Payments (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) federal, state and local income tax (taking into account the loss of itemized deductions) other than interest and
additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code (or similar state or local taxes), and employment tax and Excise Tax upon the payment provided for by this Article IV(E), shall be equal to the Payments. Such
Gross-Up amount shall be paid to you within 60 days of the date of Change in Control. 
  

	 	1.	 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (E), if no Excise Tax would apply if the Payments were
reduced by 10%, then the 

  
 5 

	 	
Payments shall be reduced by the amount necessary to avoid application of the Excise Tax, and no Gross-Up Payment will be made. Such reduction shall apply
first to those Payments which have the lowest present value to you. 

  

	 	2.	Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Article IV(E) shall be made in writing by nationally recognized independent public accountants agreed to by you and
the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Article IV(E), the Accounting Firm
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. The Company and you shall each furnish to the
Accounting Firm such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination hereunder. The Company shall bear all costs the Accounting Firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations
contemplated hereunder. The Accounting Firm shall be required to provide its determination within 60 days after the Date of the Change in Control, and the Company shall be responsible for any income tax, penalty or interest liability incurred as a
result of the date the Gross-Up Payment is made. 

  

	 	3.	If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by you, it will, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish the Company and you a non-reliance
opinion that you have a reasonable basis not to report any Excise Tax on your federal, state or local income or other tax return. If the Accounting Firm determines that an Excise Tax will (or would, but for reduction in the Payment) be payable by
you, it will, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish the Company and you the detailed basis for such opinion. Subject to Article IV (D), the Company will make the Gross-Up Payment within five
days thereafter. 

  

	 	4.	 In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined, either by the Accounting Firm or the Internal
Revenue Service, to be less than the amount determined hereunder, you shall repay to the Company, within five business days after the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the
Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal and state and local income tax
imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by you to the extent that such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or federal and state and local income tax deduction) plus interest on the amount
of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined, either by the Accounting Firm or the Internal Revenue Service, to exceed the amount taken into account

  
 6 

	 	
hereunder (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment or by reason of
required redetermination of the of the parachute payment), the Company shall (subject to Article IV(D)) make an additional gross-up payment in respect of such excess within five days after the time that the
amount of such excess is finally determined. In the event that the subsequent determinations as to the Excise Tax affect the calculations relating to Article IV (E)(1), such amounts will be recalculated and the provisions of this Article IV(E)(3)
applied based on the revised calculations, with interest applied to any payments by either party at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. 

  

	 	5.	Notwithstanding the preceding rules of this Article IV(E) the Gross-Up payments shall be made not later than the end of the year next following the in which you remit the related
taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. In all events the additional gross-up payment shall be made not later than the end of the year following the year in which the taxes that are the subject of an audit
or litigation are remitted to the applicable taxing authority, or where as a result of such audit or litigation no taxes are remitted, the end of the year following the year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and nonappealable
settlement or other resolution of the litigation. 

 Article V. 

Restrictive Covenants 
 A.
Cooperation. You shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Company and its counsel at any time and in any manner reasonably required by the Company or its counsel (with due regard for your other commitments if he is not employed by the
Company) in connection with any litigation or other legal process affecting the Company of which you have knowledge as a result of your employment with the Company (other than any litigation with respect to this Agreement). In the event of such
requested cooperation, the Company shall reimburse your reasonable out of pocket expenses. 
 You shall provide the Company prompt notice of
any claim by or other correspondence from the Internal Revenue Service relating to the amount of Excise Tax and will provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to contest any claim for Excise Tax. You will take such action in connection with
contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including without limitation accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney competent in respect of the subject matter and
reasonably selected by the Company; provided, however, that the Company will bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and will indemnify you and hold you harmless, on an
after-tax basis, for and against any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of such contest and any such payments. 

  
 7 

 B. Non-Disparagement. You will not criticize,
defame, be derogatory toward or otherwise disparage the Company (or the Company’s past, present and future officers, directors, stockholders, attorneys, agents, representatives, employees or affiliates), or its or their business plans or
actions, to any third party, either orally or in writing; provided, however, that this provision will not preclude you from giving testimony in response to a lawful subpoena or preclude any conduct protected under 18 U.S.C. Section 1514A(a) or any
similar state or federal law providing “whistleblower” protection to you. 
 C.
Non-Competition. In consideration for the severance compensation and continued benefits provided in Article IV(A) above, and at the option of any potential acquirer at the time of a Change in Control,
you agree to be subject to the Noncompetition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B for a period of one year following a Qualifying Termination 

Article VI. 
 Certain
Definitions 
 Whenever used herein, the following terms shall have their respective meanings set forth below. 

A. “Cause” for termination by the Company of your employment shall mean 

 

	 	1.	the willful and continued failure by you to substantially perform your duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or
anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason by you) for a period of at least 30 consecutive days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board, which demand specifically
identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not substantially performed your duties, 

  

	 	2.	fraud or dishonesty relating to your employment, or your willful misconduct or gross negligence, which conduct is materially injurious to the Company or its reputation, monetarily or otherwise; or 

 

	 	3.	your willful violation of Company policies, which conduct is materially injurious to the Company or its reputation, monetarily or otherwise, or 

 

	 	4.	you are convicted of, or have entered a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony. 

 For
purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your act, or failure
to act, was in the best interest of the Company. 
 B. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if, during
the term of this Agreement, on the earliest to occur of the following dates: 
  

	 	1.	The date any Person, or more than one Persons acting as a Group, acquires beneficial ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than fifty percent
(50%) or more of the total fair market value or total voting power of the then outstanding stock of the Company; 

  
 8 

	 	2.	The date of consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation other than (i) a merger or consolidation which would result in the stock of the company outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to beneficially represent at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the combined voting power of the stock of the Company or the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company in which no Person or Group acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding stock;

  

	 	3.	The date that any Person, or more than one Person acting as a Group, acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or 

 

	 	4.	The date that the incumbent members of the Board of Directors as of the date of this Agreement cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any new director whose nomination or
election is approved by a majority of the then-incumbent directors shall be deemed, for purposes of this provision, an “incumbent” member of the Board. 

If any one Person, or Persons acting as a Group, is considered to effectively control the Company as described in subsections (1) or (4)
above, the acquisition of additional control by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change in Control. 
 C.
“Date of Termination” shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination which, in the case of a Termination by the Company (other than a Termination for Cause), shall not be less than 30 days from the date such Notice of
Termination is given and, in the case of a Termination by you, shall not be less than 15 nor more than 60 days from the date such Notice of Termination is given. 

D. “Disability” shall have the meaning stated in the Company’s short- and long-term disability plans as in effect
immediately prior to a Change in Control. 
 E. “Good Reason” for Termination of your employment will mean the occurrence,
without your express written consent, of any one of the following unless such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of Termination given in respect thereof: 

 

	 	1.	the assignment to you of any duties inconsistent with your status as an officer of the Company or a material diminution in the nature or status of your responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities), from those
in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; 

  
 9 

	 	2.	a material reduction by the Company in your annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or as the same may be increased from time to time; 

 

	 	3.	the relocation of the principal place of your employment to a location that is both more than 50 miles from the location of such place of employment immediately prior to the Change of Control and more than 50 miles from
your then-current principal place of residence; except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations prior to the Change in Control or, if you have consented to such a
relocation, the failure by the Company to provide you with materially all of the benefits of the Company’s relocation policy as in operation immediately prior to a Change in Control; 

 

	 	4.	the Company’s material breach of this Agreement; or 

  

	 	5.	the failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Article VII hereof. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the occurrence of an event that would otherwise constitute Good Reason hereunder shall cease to be an event
constituting Good Reason if Notice of Termination is not timely provided to the Company by you within 90 days of the date that you first become aware (or reasonably should have become aware) of the occurrence of such event. Such Notice of
Termination shall specify your Date of Termination, which date shall not be earlier than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date of the Notice of Termination. The Company may fully correct the event(s) constituting Good Reason within a
reasonable period of time (not less than 30 days) specified in the Notice of Termination, in which case your Notice of Termination for Good Reason shall automatically be withdrawn and of no effect. Your continued employment shall not constitute
consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder prior to 90 days after such action or failure to act. 

F. “Group” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule13d-5 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”), modified to the extent necessary to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), or any successor thereto in effect at the time a determination of
whether a Change in Control has occurred is being made. 
 G. “Notice of Termination” shall mean notice indicating the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of your employment under the provision so indicated. 

  
 10 

 H. “Person” shall mean an individual, company, association, joint-stock company,
business trust or other similar organization, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization or government or agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof; provided that a “person”

Mr. Narang, his family members or relatives, or (iii) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 

I. A “Potential Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if, during the term of this Agreement: 

 

	 	1.	The Company enters into a written agreement, the consummation of which would result in a Change in Control; or 

  

	 	2.	The Company or any person publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control; or 

 

	 	3.	Any Person who is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of stock of the Company representing 10% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (except, if the
beneficial owner is an institutional investor eligible to file Schedule 13G in respect of the Company under Rule 13d-1(b), this threshold shall be 15%), thereafter increases such Person’s beneficial ownership of such stock by 5% or more; or

  

	 	4.	The Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control has occurred. 

J. “Potential Change in Control Period” shall commence upon the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control and shall lapse
upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or, if earlier (a) with respect to a Potential Change in Control occurring pursuant to Article VI(I)(l); immediately upon the abandonment or termination of the applicable agreement; (b) with
respect to a Potential Change in Control occurring pursuant to Article VI(I)(2), immediately upon a public announcement by the Company that it has abandoned its intention to take or consider taking actions which, if consummated, would result in a
Change in Control; or (iii) with respect to a Potential Change in Control occurring pursuant to Article VI(I)(3) or (4), upon the 18 month anniversary of the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control (or, in the case of a Potential Change in
Control occurring pursuant to Article VI(I)(4), such earlier date as may be determined by the Board). In addition to the foregoing, your termination of employment by the Company at the request of a third party in contemplation of a Change in Control
or Potential Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred within a Potential Change in Control Period.

 Exhibit 10.7 

SEPARATION AND TRANSITION AGREEMENT 

THIS SEPARATION AND TRANSITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 30, 2016, by and between NCI, Inc. (the
“Company”), on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”), and Brian J. Clark (“Executive”). 

WHEREAS, Executive is employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer; 

WHEREAS, Executive desires to resign from employment with the Company Group; and 

WHEREAS, to facilitate his transition, Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Resignation. 
 1.1
Removal from Positions. Executive shall resign from employment with the Company Group on October 31, 2016 (such date, the “Resignation Date”). In that regard, as of the Resignation Date, (a) Executive’s position
as President of the Company and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (b) Executive’s position as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and (c) all other officer positions, directorships and other
positions that Executive holds with the Company Group shall terminate. 
 1.2 Release. Executive’s receipt of any payments and
benefits pursuant to this Agreement (other than the payments and benefits pursuant to Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(b) and 4 (the “Accrued Obligations”)) is subject to Executive’s executing this Agreement and not revoking the release set forth
in Section 7; provided that the release is effective within 10 days following the Resignation Date. No payments or benefits under this Agreement (other than the Accrued Obligations) shall be paid or provided to Executive until the
release becomes effective in accordance with the deadline specified in the preceding sentence. 
 2. Transition. 

2.1 Consulting Period and Services. Commencing on the Resignation Date and ending on the
six-month anniversary thereof (the “Consulting Period”), Executive shall make himself available to the Company to consult with the Company from time to time (the “Services”);
provided that the Services shall not exceed 20% of the average level of services that Executive performed during the 36-month period prior to the Resignation Date. 

2.2 Consulting Fee. In exchange for the Services, the Company agrees to pay Executive a total fee equal to $250,000 (the
“Consulting Fee”). The Consulting Fee shall be paid to Executive ratably on a monthly basis over the Consulting Period commencing November 1, 2016; provided Executive has executed and not revoked the release in Section 7 and complied
with his obligations in Section 8. Except as to the Consulting Fee, no other payments or benefits shall be due or payable to Executive for the Services. 

 2.3 Status as an Independent Contractor. In all matters relating to the Services, nothing
under this Agreement shall be construed as creating any partnership, joint venturer or agency between the Company and Executive or to constitute Executive as an agent, employee or representative of the Company. Executive shall act solely as an
independent contractor and, as such, is not authorized to bind any member of the Company Group to third parties. Consequently, Executive shall not be entitled to participate during the Consulting Period in any of the employee benefit plans, programs
or arrangements of the Company Group in his capacity as a consultant. Executive shall be responsible for and pay all taxes related to the receipt of compensation in connection with the provision of the Services. Executive shall not make any public
statements concerning the Services that purport to be on behalf of the Company Group, in each case without prior written consent from the Company. 

2.4 Subsequent Employment. The Services shall end and the unpaid portion of the Consulting Fee shall be accelerated and paid in full
when Executive notifies the Company that he has obtained full-time employment with a new employer. 
 3. Severance Benefits. 

3.1 Payments. The Company shall provide Executive with the following severance payments and benefits following the Resignation Date:

 a. any accrued but unpaid annual base salary and accrued but unused paid time-off due to
Executive as of the Resignation Date; 
 b. reimbursement for reasonable and necessary, properly-receipted expenses incurred by Executive
on behalf of the Company during the period ending on the Resignation Date; 
 c. a cash payment equal to 200% of Executive’s annual
base salary in the amount of $1,000,000, payable in a lump sum; and 
 d. a prorated annual bonus equal to $420,000 for the period
beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending on the Resignation Date, payable in a lump sum. 
 3.2 Payment Timing. Subject to
Section 10, the timing of the benefits and payments provided under Section 3.1 shall be as follows: 
 a. amounts payable
pursuant to Sections 3.l(a) and (b) shall be paid in the normal course and in no event later than 30 days following the Resignation Date; and 

b. the amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.l(c) and (d) shall be paid no later than the 30th day following the Resignation Date. 

4. Outstanding Equity Awards. In connection with Executive’s resignation from employment, the Company shall repurchase the Stock Options (as
defined below) for $2,652,300, which represents an amount equal to (a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.19 per share (each, a “Share”), of the Company underlying the Stock Options, multiplied by
(b) the Purchase Price (as defined below) less the applicable per Share 

  
 2 

 
exercise price of the Stock Options. For purposes of this Agreement, “Purchase Price” means $11.95, which represents the closing sale price of a Share on The Nasdaq Stock Market as of
October 28, 2016, and “Stock Options” means Executive’s option to purchase 300,000 Shares granted under the NCI, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) on June 5, 2013 at an exercise price of
$4.51 per Share and Executive’s option to purchase 90,000 Shares granted under the Plan on March 9, 2012 at an exercise price of $7.28 per Share, all of which are vested and exercisable as of the Resignation Date. The closing of the repurchase
of the Stock Options shall occur within 30 days following the Resignation Date, at which time the Company shall pay the aggregate purchase price to Executive in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, all other outstanding equity-based awards held by
Executive which are not vested or exercisable as of the Resignation Date shall be cancelled for no consideration. 
 5. Retirement Plans. Executive
shall be entitled to receive his vested accrued benefits, if any, under the NCI Information Systems, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and the NCI Nonqualified Executive Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
plans. 
 6. Continuation of Certain Benefit Plans. The Company will provide Health and Welfare Coverage and Executive’s Executive Long Term
Disability Coverage (for the plans and options currently in effect as elected by Executive) at no additional cost to Executive from the date hereof through October 31, 2017, subject to the terms of the applicable plans. Except for the foregoing or
as otherwise specifically provided herein or as required by the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act or other applicable law, Executive shall not be entitled to any other benefits or to participate in any past, present or future employee benefit
plans, programs or arrangements of the Company Group on or after the Resignation Date. 
 7. Release. 

7.1 General Release. In consideration of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and for other valuable consideration,
Executive hereby releases and forever discharges the Company Group and each of their respective officers, employees, directors, shareholders and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, actions and causes of

monetary award from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an SEC Whistleblower, pursuant to the bounty provision under Section 922(a)-(g) of the Dodd Frank Act, 7 U.S.C. Sec. 26(a)-(g), or directly from any other federal or
state agency pursuant to a similar program, or (b) any applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, that Executive may have, or in the future may possess arising out of (x) Executive’s employment relationship with and service as a
director, employee, officer or manager of the Company Group, and the termination of such relationship or service, or (y) any event, condition, circumstance or obligation that occurred, existed or arose on or prior to the date hereof;
provided, however, that the release set forth in this Section 7.1 shall not apply to the obligations of the Company to continue to provide director and officer indemnification to Executive as provided in the articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents for the Company 

  
 3 

 
or the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. Executive further agrees that the payments and benefits described in this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of any and all claims for
payments or benefits, whether express or implied, that Executive may have against the Company Group arising out of Executive’s employment relationship, Executive’s service as a director, employee, officer or manager of the Company Group
and the termination thereof. The provision of the payments and benefits described in this Agreement shall not be deemed an admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Company Group. This Section 7.1 does not apply to any Claims that Executive
may have as of the date Executive signs this Agreement arising under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“ADEA’’). Claims arising under
ADEA are addressed in Section 7.2 of this Agreement. 
 7.2 Specific Release of ADEA Claims. In consideration of the payments
and benefits provided to Executive under this Agreement, Executive hereby releases and forever discharges the released Parties from any and all Claims that Executive may have as of the date Executive signs this Agreement arising under ADEA. By
signing this Agreement, Executive hereby acknowledges and confirms the following: (a) Executive was advised by the Company in connection with Executive’s termination to consult with an attorney of Executive’s choice prior to signing
this Agreement and to have such attorney explain to Executive the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to Executive’s release of claims arising under ADEA; (b) Executive has been given a period of not
fewer than 21 days to consider the terms of this Agreement and to consult with an attorney of Executive’s choosing with respect thereto; and (c) Executive is providing the release and discharge set forth in this Section 7.2 only in
exchange for consideration in addition to anything of value to which Executive is already entitled. 
 7.3 Representation. Executive
hereby represents that Executive (a) has not instituted, assisted or otherwise participated in connection with, any action, complaint, claim, charge, grievance, arbitration, lawsuit or administrative agency proceeding, or action at law or
otherwise against any of the Released Parties and (b) shall not solicit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to litigate claims or file administrative charges against any of the Released Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Section 7.3 is intended to restrict Executive from providing testimony or documents pursuant to a lawful subpoena or other compulsory legal process or from providing truthful information upon request in connection with a
governmental investigation or legal proceeding that has been independently initiated by another individual or governmental body. 
 7.4
Cessation of Payments. In the event that Executive (a) files any charge, claim, demand, action or arbitration with regard to Executive’s employment, compensation or termination of employment under any federal, state or local law, or
an arbitration under any industry regulatory entity, except in either case for a claim for breach of this Agreement or failure to honor the obligations set forth therein or (b) materially breaches any of the covenants or obligations contained
in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to cease making any payments due pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement (other than the Accrued Obligations), and Executive shall be required to promptly repay any such payments previously
made by the Company pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 (other than the Accrued Obligations).

 7.6 Revocation. This Agreement may be revoked by
Executive within the seven- day period commencing on the date Executive signs this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”). In the event of any such revocation by Executive, all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall terminate
and be of no further force and effect as of the date of such revocation. No such revocation by Executive shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Executive and received by the Company prior to the expiration of the Revocation Period.

 8. Covenants. 
 8.1 Confidential
Information. Subject to Section 9, Executive agrees that Executive shall not at any time, except with the prior written consent of the Company or as required by applicable law or legal process, directly or indirectly, (a) use,
disseminate, disclose or publish, whether for Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any Confidential Information (as defined below) or (b) deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other
entity any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means (x) confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating

8.2 Confidentiality of this Agreement. Subject to Section 9, Executive agrees that, except to enforce the terms of this Agreement
or as may be required by applicable law or legal process, Executive shall not disclose the terms of this Agreement to any person other than Executive’s accountants, financial advisors, attorneys or spouse; provided that such accountants,
financial advisors, attorneys and spouse agree not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any other person or entity. 
 8.3 Return

all copies, abstracts and summaries of the foregoing, and all physical items related to the business of the 

  
 5 

 
Company, whether of a public nature or not, and whether prepared by Executive or not, are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company, and shall not be removed from its premises,
except as required in the course of Executive’s employment by the Company, without the prior written consent of the Company. No later than five business days after the Resignation Date, such items, including any copies or other reproductions
thereof, shall be promptly returned by Executive to the Company (or, if requested by the Company, destroyed by Executive). 
 8.4 Non-Solicitation. Executive agrees that, during the for the 12-month period following the Resignation Date (the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, induce or attempt to solicit induce any person who is or was an employee or independent contractor of the Company Group at any time during the six months prior to the Resignation Date (each, a
“Protected Employee”) to leave the employ of, or engagement with, the Company Group, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any member of the Company Group and any Protected Employee (it being understood that this Section
8.4(a) shall not be violated by the placement of general advertisements and public announcements not targeted at employees or independent contractors of the Company Group), (b) hire directly or through another entity any Protected Employee, or
(c) solicit, induce or attempt to solicit or induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company Group to cease doing business or terminate any contract with the Company Group. As used herein, the term
“indirectly” shall include, without limitation, Executive’s permitting the use of Executive’s name by any competitor of the Company Group to induce or interfere with any employee, officer, representative or agent of any member of
the Company Group. 
 8.5 Non-Disparagement. Subject to Section 9, Executive agrees to
refrain from making, directly or indirectly, now or at any time in the future, whether in writing, orally or electronically (a) any derogatory comment concerning the Company Group or any of its current or former directors, officers, employees
or shareholders or (b) any other comment that could reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to the business or financial prospects or reputation of the Company Group. In addition, the Board and the Company’s executive officers
shall refrain from making, directly or indirectly, now or at any time in the future, whether in writing, orally or electronically (x) any derogatory comment concerning Executive or (y) any other comment that could reasonably be expected to
be materially detrimental to Executive’s financial prospects or reputation. Nothing in the foregoing shall preclude Executive or the Company Group from providing truthful disclosures required by applicable law or legal process. Further, nothing
in this Section 8.5 or this Agreement shall prevent Executive or the Company from answering inquiries or questions about, and providing honest opinions about and/or comparing the services offered by the Company to the services offered by any
person or entity for whom Executive works. The Company shall provide Executive with a positive letter of recommendation at any time upon his request. 

8.6 Remedies. Executive acknowledges that Executive has carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to Sections 8.1 through 8.5. Executive agrees without reservation that each of the restraints contained herein is necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the goodwill, Confidential
Information and other legitimate interests of the Company Group; that each and every one of those restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area; and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate,
shall not prevent 

  
 6 

 
Executive from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which Executive is bound by these restraints. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Company, Executive
agrees that a breach (or threatened breach) of any of the covenants contained in Sections 8.1 through 8.5 may result in material and irreparable injury to the Company Group for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it shall not be possible
to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction, or both, without bond or other
security, restraining Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by the covenants contained in Sections 8.1 through 8.5 or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants contained in this Agreement. Such
injunctive relief in any court shall be available to the Company in lieu of, or prior to or pending determination in, any proceeding. 
 8.7
Extension of Restricted Period. In addition to the remedies the Company may seek and obtain pursuant to Section 8.6, the Restricted Period shall be extended by any and all periods during which Executive is in breach of Section 8.4.

 9. Confidential Disclosure in Reporting Violations of Law or in Court Filings. Executive acknowledges and the Company agrees that Executive may
disclose Confidential Information in confidence, directly or indirectly, to federal, state, or local government officials, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the SEC, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General or to an
attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or regulation or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal laws or regulations. Executive may also
disclose Confidential Information in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with federal law protecting confidential disclosures of a trade
secret to the government or in a court filing, 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), or to create liability for disclosures of Confidential Information that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b). 

10. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to meet, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the regulations and interpretive guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), with respect to amounts subject thereto, and shall be interpreted and construed consistent with that intent. No expenses eligible
for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, during any calendar year shall affect the amounts eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, to the extent subject to the requirements of
Section 409A, and no such right to reimbursement or right to in-kind benefits shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment in a series of installment payments provided under this
Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A. If amounts payable under this Agreement
do not qualify for exemption from Section 409A at the time of Executive’s separation from service and therefore are deemed deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A on the date of such separation from service, then if
Executive is a “specified employee” under Section 409A on the date of Executive’s separation from service, payment of the amounts hereunder shall be delayed for a period of six months from the date of Executive’s separation from
service if required by Section 409A. 

  
 7 

 
The accumulated postponed amount shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days after the end of the six-month period. If Executive dies during the
postponement period prior to payment of the postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of Section 409A shall be paid to Executive’s estate within 30 days after the date of Executive’s death. 

11. Change in Control Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive Change in Control and Severance Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2012,
between Executive and the Company shall terminate effective as of the Resignation Date and shall be of no further force and effect. 
 12.
Miscellaneous. 
 12.1 Severability. As the provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each other, the
Company and Executive agree that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this Agreement, any term, restriction, covenant, or promise hereof is found to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable, then such decision
shall not affect the validity of the other provisions of this Agreement, and such invalid term, restriction, covenant, or promise shall also be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. 

12.2 Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received if delivered in person, the next business day if delivered by overnight commercial courier (e.g., Federal Express), or the third business day if mailed by United States certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and via e-mail, to the following addresses:
