 Exhibit 10.3 
 EXELIS INC. 
 2011 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN 

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of the [XX] day of [Month, Year], by and between Exelis Inc. (the “Company”) and [name] (the “Optionee” or
“Executive”), WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Optionee is now employed by the Company or an Affiliate (as defined in the Company’s
2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (the “Plan”)) as an employee, and in recognition of the Optionee’s valued services, the Company, through the Compensation and Personnel Committee of its Board of Directors (the “Committee”),
desires to provide an opportunity for the Optionee to acquire or enlarge stock ownership in the Company, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as part of this
Agreement, and any administrative rules and regulations related to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Grant of Options. In accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby confirms the grant on
[Month, Day, Year], (the “Grant Date”) to the Optionee of the option to purchase from the Company all or any part of an aggregate of #,### Shares (the “Option”), at the purchase price of $[XX.XX] per Share
(the “Option Price” or “Exercise Price”). The Option shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option. 

  

	2.	Terms and Conditions. It is understood and agreed that the Option is subject to the following terms and conditions: 

 

	 	(a)	Expiration Date. The Option shall expire on [Month, Day, Year], or, if the Optionee’s employment terminates before that date, on the date specified
in subsection (f) below. 

  

	 	(b)	Exercise of Option. The Option may not be exercised until it has become vested. 

 

	 	(c)	Vesting. Subject to subsections 2(a) and 2(f), the Option shall vest in three installments as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	1/3 of the Option shall vest on [Month, Day, Year],  

  

	 	(ii)	1/3 of the Option shall vest on [Month, Day, Year], and 

  

	 	(iii)	1/3 of the Option shall vest on [Month, Day, Year],  

 Subject to subsections 2(a) and 2(f), to the extent not earlier vested pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii), and (iii) of this subsection (c), the Option shall vest in full upon an Acceleration Event (as
defined in the Plan). 

	 	(d)	Payment of Exercise Price. Permissible methods for payment of the Exercise Price upon exercise of the Option are described in Section 6.6 of the Plan, or,
if the Plan is amended, successor provisions. In addition to the methods of exercise permitted by Section 6.6 of the Plan, the Optionee may exercise all or part of the Option by way of (i) broker-assisted cashless exercise in a manner
consistent with the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation T, unless the Committee determines that such exercise method is prohibited by law, or (ii) net-settlement, whereby the Optionee directs the Company to withhold Shares that otherwise
would be issued upon exercise of the Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of the exercise equal to the Exercise Price, or the portion thereof being exercised by way of net-settlement (rounding up to the nearest whole Share).

  

	 	(e)	Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Optionee to remit to the Company, all applicable federal,
state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to the exercise of the Option. The Optionee may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold
Shares that otherwise would be issued upon exercise of the Option, with the number of Shares withheld having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the
transaction (rounding up to the nearest whole Share). Any such election shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 

 

	 	(f)	Effect of Termination of Employment. 

 If the Optionee’s employment terminates before [Month, Day, Year], the Option shall expire on the date set forth below, as applicable: 

 

	 	(i)	Termination due to Death. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated as a result of the Optionee’s death, the Option shall expire on the earlier of
[Month, Day, Year], or the date three years after the termination of the Optionee’s employment due to death. If all or any portion of the Option is not vested at the time of the Optionee’s termination of employment due to death, the
Option shall immediately become 100% vested. 

  

	 	(ii)	Termination due to Disability. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated as a result of the Optionee’s Disability (as defined below), the Option shall
expire on the earlier of [Month, Day, Year], or the date five years after the termination of the Optionee’s employment due to Disability. If all or any portion of the Option is not vested at the time of the termination of the
Optionee’s employment due to Disability, the Option shall immediately become 100% vested. 

  

	 	(iii)	Termination due to Retirement. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated as a result of the Optionee’s Retirement (as defined below), the Option shall
expire on the earlier of [Month, Day, Year], or the date five years after the termination of the Optionee’s employment due to Retirement. If all or any portion of the Option is not vested at the time of the Optionee’s termination of
employment due to Retirement, a prorated portion of the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately vest as of the date of the termination of employment (see “Prorated or Other Vesting Upon Retirement” below). Any remaining unvested
portion of the Option shall expire as of the date of the termination of the Optionee’s employment, unless the Optionee agrees to, and complies with, the conditions for continued vesting after Retirement (set forth in the second
paragraph of the section entitled “Prorated or Other Vesting Upon Retirement”). For purposes of this subsection 2(f)(iii), the Optionee shall be considered employed during any period in which the Optionee is receiving severance payments
(disregarding any delays required to comply with tax or other requirements), and the date of the termination of the Optionee’s employment shall be the last day of any such severance period. 

	 	(iv)	Cause. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company (or an Affiliate, as the case may be) for cause (as determined by the Committee), the
vested and unvested portions of the Option shall expire on the date of the termination of the Optionee’s employment. 

  

	 	(v)	Voluntary Termination or Other Termination by the Company. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Optionee or terminated by the Company (or an
Affiliate, as the case may be) for other than cause (as determined by the Committee), and not because of the Optionee’s Retirement, Disability or death, the vested portion of the Option shall expire on the earlier of [Month, Day, Year],
or the date three months after the termination of the Optionee’s employment. Any portion of the Option that is not vested (or the entire Option, if no part was vested) as of the date the Optionee’s employment terminates shall expire
immediately on the date of termination of employment, and such unvested portion of the Option (the entire Option, if no portion was vested on the date of termination) shall not thereafter be exercisable. For purposes of this subsection 2(f)(v), the
Optionee shall be considered employed during any period in which the Optionee is receiving severance payments, and the date of the termination of the Optionee’s employment shall be the last day of any such severance period.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Optionee’s employment is terminated on or after an Acceleration Event
(A) by the Company (or an Affiliate, as the case may be) for other than cause (as determined by the Committee), and not because of the Optionee’s Retirement, Disability, or death, or (B) by the Optionee because the Optionee in good
faith believed that as a result of such Acceleration Event he or she was unable effectively to discharge his or her present duties or the duties of the position the Optionee occupied just prior to the occurrence of such Acceleration Event, the
Option shall in no event expire before the earlier of the date that is 7 months after the Acceleration Event or [Month, Day, Year]. 
 Retirement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Retirement” shall mean the termination of the Optionee’s employment if, at the time of such termination, the Optionee is
eligible to commence receipt of retirement benefits under a traditional formula defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate (or would be eligible to receive such benefits if he or she were a participant in such a
traditional formula defined benefit pension plan) or if no such plan is maintained, the first day of the month which coincides with or follows (x) the Optionee’s 60th birthday and (y) the Optionee’s completion of 5 years of
service as an Employee of the Company or of the Predecessor Corporation. 

 Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall
mean the complete and permanent inability of the Optionee to perform all of his or her duties under the terms of his or her employment, as determined by the Committee upon the basis of such evidence, including independent medical reports and data,
as the Committee deems appropriate or necessary. 
 Prorated or Other Vesting Upon Retirement. Unless the Optionee agrees
to, and complies with, the conditions for continued vesting after Retirement (set forth in the second paragraph of the section entitled “Prorated or Other Vesting Upon Retirement”), the prorated portion of an Option that vests upon
termination of the Optionee’s employment due to the Optionee’s Retirement shall be determined by multiplying the total number of unvested Shares subject to the Option at the time of the termination of the Optionee’s employment by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months the Optionee has been continually employed since the Grant Date and the denominator of which is 36. For this purpose, full months of employment shall be based on monthly anniversaries of
the Grant Date, not calendar months. For the avoidance of doubt, continuous employment of an Optionee by the Company or an Affiliate for purposes of vesting in the Option granted hereunder shall include continuous employment with the Company for so
long as the Optionee continues working at such entity. 
 Alternatively, and as additional consideration for the covenant set
forth on Appendix B, in the event that an Optionee terminates employment because of the Optionee’s Retirement, (i) after reaching age 60 or older, and having completed at least 5 years of service as an Employee of the Company or of the
Predecessor Corporation, and (ii) executes an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company which agreement binds the Optionee to a restrictive covenant in the form set forth in Appendix B, then on each date that
the Option would otherwise have become vested under the original grant of the Option, that portion of the Option will be deemed to be vested; provided that the Optionee has not at any time since the date of Optionee’s Retirement violated the
terms of any restrictive covenant set forth in Appendix A or B (regardless of any Restricted Period set forth therein). If the Optionee does violate such restrictive covenant at any time prior to the date that the Option would otherwise have vested
under its original grant terms, such Option will terminate and expire in all respects, without further action by the Company and the Optionee hereby agrees that the Company shall have all of the remedies and rights set forth in Section 2(i)
below. 
  

	 	(g)	Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Option shall not be exercised at any time when its exercise or the delivery of Shares hereunder would be in
violation of any law, rule, or regulation that the Company may find to be valid and applicable. 

  

	 	(h)	Optionee Bound by Plan and Rules. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and
provisions thereof as amended from time to time. The Optionee agrees to be bound by any rules and regulations for administering the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee during the life of the Option. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall be as defined in the Plan. 

	 	(i)	Restrictive Covenant Violation. Optionee acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates and
accordingly agrees to the provisions of Appendix A and, if applicable, Appendix B to this Agreement. If the Optionee breaches such restrictions in Appendix A or Appendix B to this Agreement, the Optionee hereby agrees that, in addition to any other
remedy available to the Company in respect of such activity or breach, the Optionee’s Option will be forfeited or, if the Optionee has disposed of all or any portion of such Option prior to the date of such forfeiture, then, in respect of all
or any portion of such Option, an amount equal to the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) the Optionee received
upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, the Optionee’s Option. 

  

	 	(j)	Governing Law. This Agreement is issued, and the Option evidenced hereby is granted, in McLean, Virginia, and shall be governed and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. 

By signing a copy of this Agreement, the Optionee acknowledges that s/he has received a copy of the Plan, and that s/he has read and understands the
Plan and this Agreement and agrees to the terms and conditions thereof. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Option awarded pursuant to this Agreement must be exercised prior to its expiration as set forth herein, that it is the
Optionee’s responsibility to exercise the Option within such time period, and that the Company has no further responsibility to notify the Optionee of the expiration of the exercise period of the Option. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed by its Chief Executive Officer and President, or a Vice President, as of
the XX day of [Month, Year].

 (i) Executive will not, within twelve months following the termination of his or her employment with the Company for any reason (the “Post-Termination Period”) or during Executive’s
employment (collectively with the Post-Termination Period, the “Restricted Period”), influence or attempt to influence customers of the Company or its subsidiaries or any of its present or future subsidiaries or affiliates, either

(ii) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, and will not directly or indirectly, cause any other person to,

employee, or facilitating the hiring of any such employee, to work for any other business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation, or other entity; and 
 (b) It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Appendix A to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a
court of competent jurisdiction, that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed
amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in
this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 

(c) The period of time during which the provisions of this Appendix A shall be in effect shall be extended by the length of time during
which Executive is in breach of the terms hereof as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction on the Company’s application for injunctive relief.

amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in
this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein.

provide an opportunity for the Participant to receive a performance-based long-term incentive award, pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, effective as of October 31, 2011 (the “Plan”)).

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is
attached hereto and incorporated herein as part of this Agreement, and any administrative rules and regulations related to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Grant of Target Award and Performance Period. In accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company
hereby grants to the Participant a target Award of $xxx,xxx (the “Target Award”) for the Performance Period commencing January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2014. Payment of the Award is dependent upon the achievement
during the Performance Period of certain performance goals more fully described in Section 2 of this Agreement.

	 	(a)	Determination of TSR Award Payout. 

  

	 	(i)	The amount of the TSR Award Payout, if any, for the Performance Period shall be determined in accordance with the following formula: 

TSR Award Payout = Payout Factor X Target Award 
 The “Payout Factor” is based on the sum of two equally weighted calculations: (A) the Company’s total shareholder return (defined and measured in accordance with paragraph
(ii) below, the “TSR”) for the Performance Period relative to the TSR for each company in the S&P 1500 Aerospace/Defense Index, determined in accordance with Table 1 below and (B) the Company’s TSR for the Performance
Period relative to the TSR for each company in the Concentrated Peer Group (as defined below), determined in accordance with Table 2 below:

	 	(ii)	TSR is the sum of the yields of the dividend and any other extraordinary shareholder payouts over the Performance Period, plus the cumulative percentage change in stock
price from the beginning to the end of the Performance Period. For purposes of this Agreement, the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period will be the average closing stock price over the trading days in the month immediately
preceding the start of the Performance Period (December 2011), and the stock price at the end of the Performance Period will be the average closing stock price over the trading days in the last month of the Performance Period (December 2014).

  

	 	(iii)	The “Concentrated Peer Group” means General Dynamics, L-3 Communications, Lockheed Martin, Huntington Ingalls, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and SAIC.

  

	 	(iv)	The “Competitors” means each company in the S&P 1500 Aerospace/Defense Index and each company in the Concentrated Peer Group. 

 

	 	(b)	 Form and Timing of Payment of Award. Except as provided in subsection 2(f), payment with respect to an earned TSR Award shall be made as soon as
practicable (but not later than March 15th) in the
calendar year following the close of the Performance Period. Payment shall be made in cash. 

  

	 	(c)	Effect of Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided below, if the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason prior
to the end of the Performance Period, any Award subject to this Agreement shall be immediately forfeited. 

  

	 	(i)	Termination due to Death or Disability. If the Participant’s termination of employment is due to death or Disability (as defined below), the Award shall
vest and will be payable at the time and in the form as provided in subsection 2(b) above based on the Company’s TSR for the entire Performance Period relative to the TSR of the Company’s Competitors for the entire Performance Period,
weighted as described in Section 2(a)(i). 

  

	 	(ii)	Termination due to Retirement or Termination by the Company for Other than Cause. If the Participant’s termination of employment is due to Retirement (as
defined below) or if the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company (or a Participant Company, as the case may be) for other than cause (as determined by the Committee), a prorated portion of the Award shall vest (see “Prorated
or Other Vesting Upon Retirement or Termination by the Company for Other than Cause” below) and will be payable at the time and in the form as provided in subsection 2(b) above, unless the Participant agrees to, and complies with,
the conditions for continued vesting after Retirement (set forth in “Prorated or Other Vesting Upon Retirement” in Section 2(d)(ii)). For purposes of this subsection 2(c)(ii), the Participant shall be considered employed during any
period in which the Participant is receiving severance pay, and the date of the termination of the Participant’s employment shall be the last day of any such severance pay period. 

  
 2 

 Retirement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Retirement” shall mean the termination of the Participant’s employment if, at the time of such termination, the Participant is eligible to commence receipt of retirement benefits under a traditional formula defined benefit pension
plan maintained by the Company (or would be eligible to receive such benefits if he or she were a participant in such traditional formula defined benefit pension plan) or if no such plan is maintained, the first day of the month which coincides with
or follows (x) the Participant’s 60th birthday
and (y) the Participant’s completion of 5 years of service as an Employee of the Company or of the Predecessor Corporation. 
 Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean the complete and permanent inability of the Participant to perform all of his or her duties under the terms of
his or her employment, as determined by the Committee upon the basis of such evidence, including independent medical reports and data, as the Committee deems appropriate or necessary. 

 

	 	(d)	Prorated or Other Vesting upon Retirement or Termination by the Company for Other than Cause. 

 

	 	(i)	Unless the Participant agrees to, and complies with, the conditions for continued vesting after Retirement (set forth in “Prorated or Other Vesting Upon
Retirement” in Section 2(d)(ii)), the prorated portion of the Award that vests due to termination of the Participant’s employment due to Retirement or by the Company for other than cause shall be determined by multiplying (x) the
TSR Award Payout that would have been paid based on the Company’s TSR for the entire Performance Period relative to the TSR of the Company’s Competitors, weighted as described in Section 2(a)(i), for the entire Performance Period, by
(y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months the Participant has been continually employed since the beginning of the Performance Period and the denominator of which is 36. For this purpose, full months of employment
shall be based on monthly anniversaries of the commencement of the Performance Period. For the avoidance of doubt, continuous employment of a Participant by the Company or an Affiliate for purposes of vesting in the Award granted hereunder shall
include continuous employment with the Company for so long as the Participant continues working at such entity. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Alternatively, and as additional consideration for the covenant set forth on Appendix B, in the event that a Participant terminates employment because
of the Participant’s Retirement, (x) after reaching age 60 or older, and having completed at least 5 years of service as an Employee of the Company or of the Predecessor Corporation, and (y) executes an agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Company which agreement binds the Participant to a restrictive covenant in the form set forth in Appendix B, then on the date that the Award would otherwise have become vested, under the original grant of
the Award, that portion of the Award will be deemed to be vested; provided that the Participant has not at any time since the date of Participant’s Retirement violated the terms

  
 3 

	 	
of any restrictive covenant set forth in Appendix A or B (regardless of any Restricted Period set forth therein). If the Participant does violate such restrictive covenant at any time prior to
the date that the Award would otherwise have vested under its original grant terms, such Award will terminate and expire in all respects, without further action by the Company and the Participant hereby agrees that the Company shall have all of the
remedies and rights set forth in Section 2(h) below. 

  

	 	(e)	Acceleration Event. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event during the Performance Period, (i) a
prorated portion of the Award shall vest based on actual performance though the date of the Acceleration Event (such prorated portion to be determined as provided below in this subsection 2(e)) and shall be paid within 30 days following the
Acceleration Event and (ii) the remaining portion of the Award (such remaining portion to be determined as provided below in this subsection 2(e)) shall vest and shall be paid within 30 days following the Acceleration Event. The prorated
portion of the Award that vests pursuant to subpart (i) in the prior sentence due to the Acceleration Event shall be determined by multiplying (A) the TSR Award Payout determined based on the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the
Company’s Competitors, weighted as described in Section 2(a)(i), based on TSR performance for the period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending on the date preceding the date on which the Acceleration Event occurs (the “Prorated
Period”), by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Prorated Period and the denominator of which is 1,095. The remaining portion of the Award that vests pursuant to subpart (ii) in the first
sentence of this subsection 2(e) due to the Acceleration Event shall be determined by multiplying (A) the Target Award by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days remaining in the Performance Period as of the
date of the Acceleration Event (including day of the Acceleration Event) and the denominator of which is 1,095. 

  

	 	(f)	Tax Withholding. Payments with respect to Awards under the Plan shall be subject to applicable tax withholding obligations as described in Section 15.1 of
the Plan, or, if the Plan is amended, successor provisions. 

  

	 	(g)	Participant Bound by Plan and Rules. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and
provisions thereof. The Participant agrees to be bound by any rules and regulations for administering the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee prior to the settlement of the Award subject to this Agreement. Terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall be as defined in the Plan. 

  

	 	(h)	Restrictive Covenant Violation. Participant acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates and
accordingly agrees to the provisions of Appendix A and, if applicable, Appendix B to this Agreement. If the Participant breaches such restrictions in Appendix A or Appendix B to this Agreement, the Participant hereby agrees that, in addition to any
other remedy available to the Company in respect of such activity or breach, the Participant’s Award will be forfeited or, if the Participant has disposed of all or any portion of such Award prior to the date of such forfeiture, then, in
respect of all or any portion of such Award, an amount equal to the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) the
Participant received upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, the Participant’s Award. 

  
 4 

	 	(i)	Governing Law. This Agreement is issued in McLean, Virginia, and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding

 Appendix A 

Restrictive Covenants 
  

	 	1.	Non-Solicit. 

 (a)
Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its affiliates and accordingly agrees as follows: 
 (i) Executive will not, within twelve months following the termination of his or her employment with the Company for any reason (the “Post-Termination Period”) or during Executive’s
employment (collectively with the Post-Termination Period, the “Restricted Period”), influence or attempt to influence customers of the Company or its subsidiaries or any of its present or future subsidiaries or affiliates, either
directly or indirectly, to divert their business to any individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity then in competition with the business of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. 

(ii) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, and will not directly or indirectly, cause any other person to,
initiate or respond to communications with or from, any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries during the twelve-month period prior to the termination of such employee’s employment with the Company, for the purpose of soliciting such
employee, or facilitating the hiring of any such employee, to work for any other business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation, or other entity; and 
 (b) It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Appendix A to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a
court of competent jurisdiction, that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed
amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in
this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 

(c) The period of time during which the provisions of this Appendix A shall be in effect shall be extended by the length of time during
which Executive is in breach of the terms hereof as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction on the Company’s application for injunctive relief.

 (a) The
provisions of this Appendix A shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason.

	 	3.	Non-Competition. 

 (a)
Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its affiliates and accordingly agrees as follows: 
 (i) Executive will not, within the period during which the Award remains unvested following the termination of his employment with the Company for any reason (the “Post-Termination Period”) or
during Executive’s employment (collectively with the Post-Termination Period, the “Restricted Period”), accept an employment or consulting relationship (or own or have any financial interest in), directly or indirectly, with any
entity engaged in the business of providing [Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) related products and systems and information and technical services to military, government and
commercial customers within the United States]. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Executive may,

amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in
this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 

(c) The period of time during which the provisions of this Appendix B shall be in effect shall be extended by the length of time during
