VECTRUS 401(k) PLAN
(Amended and Restated Effective September 27, 2014)

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    1

PREAMBLE
Effective September 1, 1992, ITT Federal Services Corporation adopted the CSA Money Purchase Pension Plan and Trust (the "CSA Plan") for project-benefited employees at a number of specified locations.  The CSA Plan was merged into the ITT Federal Services Corporation Retirement/Savings Plan (the "ITT Plan") for specified employees of ITT Federal Services Corporation.  In addition, another prior plan, the Contractors and Employees Retirement Plan and Trust (the "Contractors and Employees Plan"), for project-benefited employees at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, was merged into the ITT Plan.
The provisions of the ITT Plan, including the merged provisions of the Contractors and Employees Plan and the CSA Plan, were contained in a pre-approved plan document sponsored by CIGNA Retirement & Investment Services ("CIGNA").
On September 1, 2001, ITT Industries, Systems Division, executed a Certification of Intent to Adopt Volume Submitter Plan.  The ITT Plan was amended and restated to comply with the series of laws referred to as GUST in the form of the CIGNA volume submitter plan.  That amended and restated ITT Plan was executed September 30, 2003, and was submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) on January 31, 2004.  A favorable determination letter was issued on the restated ITT Plan on March 8, 2005.
CIGNA was acquired by Prudential Financial, Inc., in March 2004.  The provisions of the ITT Plan were then contained in a pre-approved plan document sponsored by Prudential Financial, Inc.
The ITT Plan was subsequently timely amended to comply with the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA"), the revised mandatory cash-out rules under Section 411(a)(11) of the Code, and the final regulations issued under Sections 401(k) and (m) of the Code, all by adopting amendments prepared by the sponsor of the volume submitter plan.  Subsequently, the ITT Plan was further amended to make certain design changes, to add Roth contributions, to comply with final regulations under Section 415 of the Code and to comply with the Pension Protection Act of 2006.  These subsequent amendments were not prepared by the sponsor of the volume submitter plan and accordingly the ITT Plan became an individually designed plan.
The ITT Plan was subsequently amended and restated, generally effective January 1, 2010, in its entirety as an individually designed plan.  That restatement incorporated all amendments adopted since its last restatement and was intended to reflect then-current law and regulations, including but not limited to EGTRRA; technical corrections made by the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002; the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004; the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004; the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005; the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005; the Pension Protection Act of 2006; the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007; the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008; the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008;  and the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, to the extent applicable and effective as of the date of that restatement.  That restatement also reflected required or permitted amendments under the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008.
Effective October 31, 2011, sponsorship of the ITT Plan was assumed by Exelis Inc (“Exelis”).  The ITT Plan was re-named the Exelis Systems Corporation Retirement and Savings Plan (the “Prior Plan”).  The Prior Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2014, to incorporate all amendments to the previous restatement.  The restatement was intended to reflect the qualification requirements contained in the 2012 Cumulative List of Changes in Plan Qualification Requirements, as issued by the IRS in Notice 2012-76 and was submitted under Cycle C.
Effective February 4, 2014, Exelis caused the Prior Plan to be divided into two plans, one being the Prior Plan and the other being the Exelis IS Retirement Savings Plan (the “IS Plan”).  Exelis caused  the IS Plan to be created to accept the Accounts (as this term is defined in both the Prior Plan and the IS Plan) of those Exelis employees listed in Appendix A – Benefit Groups and Projects (As Updated Effective 2/14/14) to the IS Plan.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    2

Effective September 27, 2014, Exelis restructured into two separate, publicly-traded companies named Exelis Inc. and Vectrus, Inc.  Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement by and between Exelis, Inc. and Vectrus, Inc. dated as of September 27, 2014, (the “EMA”), Vectrus Systems Corporation (“Vectrus”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vectrus, Inc., hereby assumes sponsorship of the Prior Plan.  In connection with its assumption of the Plan, Vectrus is amending and restating the Prior Plan to re-name it the Vectrus 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), to include all amendments adopted since the Prior Plan’s restatement effective January 1, 2014, and to make conforming changes to the Plan in satisfaction of Article VIII of the EMA, including but not limited to amending the Plan to accept the transfer of Accounts (as this term is defined in the Exelis Salaried Investment and Savings Plan (the “ISP”)) to the Plan for all active Management Benefitted Employees (as this term is defined in the EMA) and active PP Employees (as this term is defined in the EMA) who formerly participated and had accounts in the ISP and to allow for the holding of the common stock of Vectrus, Inc. and Exelis.  In addition, the Plan is being amended to add matching contributions for participants who are Management Benefitted Employees and those management employees who are added prospectively to Appendix A, to accommodate after-tax contributions and to allow for rollovers of Roth and after-tax contributions.
The provisions of the restated Plan are conditioned upon the Plan's qualification under Section 401(a) of the Code and Employer contributions being deductible under Section 404 of the Code.  It is further intended that the Plan also conform to the requirements of Title I of ERISA and that the Trust be qualified under Section 501 of the Code.
The amended and restated Plan applies only to Participants whose employment terminates on or after the Effective Time (as this term is defined in the EMA).  The amended and restated Plan shall have no effect on the benefits of previously retired or terminated persons, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or adopting resolutions or as required by law.

	(ii)
	The determination of whether a Deferred Cash Contribution under this Section constitutes a Catch-Up Contribution for any Plan Year shall be made as of the end of such Plan Year, in accordance with Section 414(v) of the Code.  Deferred Cash Contributions that are intended to be Catch-Up Contributions for a Plan Year but that do not qualify as Catch-Up Contributions as of the end of the Plan Year shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan as Deferred Cash Contributions made under Section 3.01(a).

		
	(iii)
	In the event that the sum of a Participant's Catch-Up Contributions and similar contributions to any other qualified defined contribution plan and/or Code Section 403(b) plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer exceeds the dollar limit on catch-up contributions under Section 414(v) of the Code for any calendar year as in effect for such calendar year, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected a return of the Catch-Up Contributions in excess of the limit under Section 414(v) of the Code and such amount shall be treated in the same manner as "excess deferrals" under Section 3.01(e).

		
	(iv)
	If a Participant makes catch-up contributions under a qualified defined contribution plan and/or a plan maintained pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Code maintained by an employer other than the Employer or an Affiliated Employer for any calendar year and those contributions, when added to his or her Catch-Up Contributions, exceed the dollar limit on catch-up contributions under Section 414(v) of the Code for that calendar year, the Participant may allocate all or a portion of such "excess catch-up contributions" to this Plan.  In the event such Participant notifies the Benefits Administration Committee of the "excess catch-up contributions" in the same manner as is required for allocated "excess deferrals" under Section 3.01(f), 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    14

	(vi)
	A Participant's Catch-Up Contributions shall be subject to the same withdrawal and distribution restrictions as Deferred Cash Contributions made under Section 3.01(a).

		
	(g)
	Unless a Participant makes an election under the provisions of this paragraph (c), Deferred Cash Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions made by a Participant under paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be deemed to be Pre-Tax Contributions.  In lieu of making Deferred Cash Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions on a pre-tax basis pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, a Participant may elect, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Benefits Administration Committee, to have some or all of the Deferred Cash Contributions and/or Catch-Up Contributions that otherwise would be contributed to the Plan on a pre-tax basis designated as Roth Contributions or Roth Catch-Up Contributions, as applicable, and included in his or her gross income at the time of deferral.  Such election, once made, may only be revoked with respect to Deferred Cash Contributions to be contributed after the effective date of the revocation election.

		
	(h)
	In no event shall the sum of a Participant's Deferred Cash Contributions and similar contributions made on his or her behalf by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer to all plans, contracts or arrangements subject to the provisions of Section 401(a)(30) of the Code in any calendar year exceed the dollar limit on elective deferrals under Section 402(g) of the Code as in effect for such calendar year, except as permitted under Section 414(v) of the Code.  If a Participant's Deferred Cash Contributions in a calendar year reach the dollar limit, his or her election of Deferred Cash Contributions for the remainder of the calendar year will be canceled.  As of the first pay period of the calendar year following such cancellation, the Participant's election of Deferred Cash Contributions shall again become effective in accordance with his or her previous election, unless the Participant elects otherwise in accordance with Section 3.06.

		
	(i)
	In the event that the sum of a Participant's Deferred Cash Contributions and similar contributions to any other qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer exceeds the dollar limit on elective deferrals under Section 402(g) of the Code for any calendar year as in effect for such calendar year, the Benefits Administration Committee, under uniform rules equally applicable to similarly situated Participants, shall determine how to apply the limit on elective deferrals under Section 402(g) of the Code.  In making its decision, the Benefits Administration Committee shall take into account the applicable provisions of the other qualified defined contribution plans.  If amounts in excess of the limit under Section 402(g) of the Code ("excess deferrals") are attributed to this Plan, the excess deferrals, together with Earnings, shall be returned to the Participant no later than April 15 following the end of the calendar year in which the excess deferrals were made.  The amount of any excess deferrals to be returned for any calendar year shall be reduced by any Deferred Cash Contributions previously returned to the Participant under Section 3.08 for that calendar year.  In the event any Deferred Cash Contributions returned under this paragraph were matched by Matching Contributions under Section 3.03, those Matching Contributions, together with Earnings, shall be forfeited and treated as Suspense Amounts.  In the event those Matching Contributions subject to forfeiture have been distributed to the Participant, the Employer shall make reasonable efforts to recover the contributions from the Participant.

	If a Participant makes tax-deferred contributions under another qualified defined contribution plan and/or a plan maintained pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Code by an employer other than the Employer or an Affiliated Employer for any calendar year and those contributions when added to his or her Deferred Cash Contributions exceed the dollar limit on elective deferrals under Section 402(g) of the Code for that calendar year, the Participant may allocate all or a portion of such excess deferrals to this Plan.  In the event a Participant has made both Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions for the applicable calendar year, the excess deferrals shall be first attributed to the Participant's Pre-Tax Contributions.  In that event, such excess deferrals, together with Earnings, shall be returned to the Participant no later than the April 15 following the end of the calendar year in which such excess deferrals were made.  However, the Plan shall not be required to return excess deferrals unless the Participant notifies the Benefits Administration Committee in writing by March 1 of that following calendar year of the amount of the excess deferrals allocated to this Plan.  The amount of any excess deferrals to be returned for any calendar year shall be reduced by any Deferred Cash Contributions previously returned to the Participant under Section 3.08 for that calendar year.  In the event any Deferred Cash Contributions returned under this paragraph were matched by Matching Contributions under Section 3.03, those Matching Contributions, together with Earnings, shall be forfeited and treated as Suspense Amounts.  In the event those Matching Contributions subject to forfeiture have been distributed to the Participant, the Employer shall make reasonable efforts to recover the contributions from the Participant.

Any Participant may elect in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Benefits Administration Committee to contribute as After-Tax Contributions any whole percentage of Compensation up to a total of 25% for Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees and 12% for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees.  Such specified percentage shall be in a multiple of 1 percent and, taken together with his Deferred Cash Contributions, including Catch-Up Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions, the maximum percentage shall be 70 percent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Benefits Administration Committee may limit the After-Tax Contributions made on behalf of a Highly Compensated Employee to the extent necessary to meet the nondiscrimination requirements of the Code.  If any amount of the After-Tax Contributions is deemed an excess aggregate contribution under Section 3.09, such excess aggregate contribution, together with Earnings, shall be returned to the Contributing Participant.
After-Tax Contributions shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the 15th business day of the month following the month in which the amounts would otherwise have been payable to the Participant in cash.
		
	3.03
	Matching Contributions

An Employer may make Matching Contributions pursuant to any applicable benefit group or project (i.e., SCA contract, union or management group) on behalf of some or all of its Eligible Employees for any Plan Year in relation to Deferred Cash Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions as set forth in Appendix A, if any.  Matching Contributions are made expressly conditional on the Plan satisfying the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.08, and 3.09.  If any portion of the Deferred Cash Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions to which Matching Contributions relate is returned to a Participant under Section 3.01, 3.08, or 3.09, the corresponding Matching Contribution shall be forfeited.  If any amount of the Matching Contribution is deemed an excess aggregate contribution under Section 3.09, such excess aggregate contribution, together with Earnings, shall be forfeited in accordance with the provisions of that Section.  In the event those Matching Contributions subject to forfeiture have been distributed to the Participant, the Employer shall make reasonable efforts to recover the contributions from the Participant.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    16

Matching Contributions under this Section shall be paid to the Fund no later than the time (including extensions) prescribed by law for the filing of the Employer's federal income tax return for the year for which the contributions are made.
		
	3.04
	Non-Matching Employer Contributions

		
	(a)
	An Employer may, in its sole discretion, make discretionary Floor Contributions for any Plan Year on behalf of some or all of its Eligible Employees who have become Participants.  Such Floor Contributions shall equal a uniform percentage of each such Participant's Compensation or other specified amount for the Plan Year, the exact percentage or amount, if any, to be determined for any Plan Year by the Employer.

		
	(b)
	Each Plan Year, an Employer may make, on behalf of each Participant who is covered by the Davis-Bacon Act or the SCA, Fringe Contributions equal to the fringe rate determined under the Prevailing Wage Determination for services performed under the Davis-Bacon Act or the SCA, less any fringe benefit provided outside of the Plan.

		
	(c)
	Each Plan Year, an Employer may make Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions, on behalf of some or all of its Eligible Employees who have become Participants.  Such Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions shall be allocated among the eligible Participants in such amount and in such manner as shall be determined by the Employer. 

		
	(d)
	An Employer may make "qualified non-elective contributions" or “corrective employer non-elective contributions” to the Plan pursuant to the provisions of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System. Any such contributions shall be held in a separate account, which shall be considered an "Account" as defined in Section 1.01.

All Employer contributions under this Section 3.04 shall be paid to the Fund no later than the time (including extensions) prescribed by law for the filing of the Employer's federal income tax return for the year for which the contributions are made.
		
	3.05
	Rollover Contributions

With the permission of the Benefits Administration Committee and without regard to any limitations on contributions set forth in this ARTICLE 3, the Plan may accept from or on behalf of an Eligible Employee, whether or not he has met the eligibility requirements for participation, a Rollover Contribution in cash, consisting of any amount previously received (or deemed to be received) by him from an "eligible retirement plan."  Such Rollover Contributions shall be subject to the following:
		
	(a)
	For purposes of this Section, "eligible retirement plan" means:

		
	(i)
	a qualified plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code;

		
	(ii)
	an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code;

		
	(iii)
	an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code; and

		
	(iv)
	an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.

Notwithstanding the above, an "eligible retirement plan" with respect to a rollover of designated Roth contributions, including designated Roth catch-up contributions, and any earnings and losses thereon shall refer solely to plans described under clause (i), (iii) and (iv) above.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    17

		
	(b)
	Such Rollover Contribution may be received in either of the following ways:

		
	(vii)
	The Plan may accept such amount as a direct rollover of an eligible rollover distribution from an eligible retirement plan, including a plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(b) of the Code, or an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.

		
	(viii)
	The Plan may accept such amount directly from the Employee provided such amount:

		
	(A)
	was distributed to the Employee by an eligible retirement plan;

		
	(B)
	is received by the Plan on or before the 60th day after the day it was received by the Employee;

		
	(C)
	is not attributable to after-tax contributions; and

		
	(D)
	is not attributable to Roth contributions..

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan shall not accept any amount unless such amount is an eligible rollover to a qualified trust in accordance with applicable law and the Employee provides evidence satisfactory to the Benefits Administration Committee that such amount qualifies for rollover treatment. 
		
	3.06
	Change in Contributions

The percentages of Compensation designated by a Participant under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 shall automatically apply to increases and decreases in his or her Compensation.  A Participant may change his or her election under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 by giving such advance Notice as the Benefits Administration Committee or its delegate shall prescribe.  The changed percentage shall become effective as soon as practicable after the Benefits Administration Committee or its delegate receives a properly completed Notice.
		
	3.07
	Suspension of Contributions

		
	(a)
	A Participant may revoke his or her election under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 by giving such advance Notice as the Benefits Administration Committee or its delegate shall prescribe.  The revocation shall become effective as soon as practicable as soon as practicable after the Benefits Administration Committee or its delegate receives a properly completed Notice.

		
	(b)
	A Participant who has revoked his or her election under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 may elect to resume having his or her Compensation reduced in accordance with Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 by giving such advance Notice as the Benefits Administration Committee or its delegate shall prescribe.  The resumption of contributions shall become effective as soon as practicable as soon as practicable after the Benefits Administration Committee or its delegate receives a properly completed Notice.

		
	3.08
	Actual Deferral Percentage Test ("ADP Test")

With respect to each Plan Year, the amount of Deferred Cash Contributions contributed to the Plan for a Plan Year shall comply with the provisions of Section 401(k)(3) of the Code, including any 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    18

regulations issued thereunder and any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance issued under Section 401(k) of the Code.  For purposes of determining the Plan's compliance with the foregoing, the current year testing method shall be used.
The Benefits Administration Committee may implement rules limiting the Deferred Cash Contributions that may be made on behalf of some or all Highly Compensated Employees so that limitation set forth in Section 401(k)(3) of the Code may be satisfied.  If the Benefits Administration Committee determines that the limitation has been exceeded in any Plan Year, the following provisions shall apply:
		
	(a)
	The Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Deferral Ratio shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet the ADP Test or to cause such Deferral Ratio to equal the Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Deferral Ratio.  This process will be repeated until the ADP Test is passed.  The amount of Deferred Cash Contributions made by each Highly Compensated Employee in excess of the amount permitted under his or her revised Deferral Ratio shall be added together. This total dollar amount of excess contributions ("excess contributions") shall then be allocated to some or all Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) below.

		
	(b)
	The Deferred Cash Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of Deferred Cash Contributions shall be reduced by the lesser of:

		
	(i)
	the amount required to cause that Employee's Deferred Cash Contributions to equal the dollar amount of the Deferred Cash Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Deferred Cash Contributions or 

		
	(ii)
	an amount equal to the total excess contributions.

This procedure shall be repeated until all excess contributions are allocated.  The amount of excess contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee, together with Earnings thereon, shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c).  In the event a Participant has made both Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions for the applicable calendar year, the excess contributions shall be first attributed to the Participant's Pre-Tax Contributions.
		
	(c)
	The excess contributions, together with Earnings thereon, allocated to a Participant shall be paid to the Participant before the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the excess contributions were made, and to the extent practicable, within 21⁄2 months of the close of the Plan Year in which the excess contributions were made.  However, any excess contributions for any Plan Year shall be reduced by any Deferred Cash Contributions previously returned to the Participant under Section 3.01 for that Plan Year.  In the event any Deferred Cash Contributions returned under this Section were matched by Matching Contributions, such corresponding Matching Contributions, with Earnings thereon, shall be forfeited and treated as Suspense Amounts.

		
	(d)
	In the event any Matching Contributions subject to forfeiture under this Section have been distributed to the Participant, the Employer shall make reasonable efforts to recover the contributions from the Participant.

		
	3.09
	Contribution Percentage Test ("ACP Test")

With respect to each Plan Year, the amount of Matching Contributions and After-Tax Contributions contributed to the Plan for a Plan Year shall comply with the provisions of Section 401(m)(2) of the 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    19

Code, including any regulations issued thereunder and any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance issued under Section 401(m) of the Code.  For purposes of determining the Plan's compliance with Section 401(m)(2) of the Code, the current year testing method shall be used.  If the Benefits Administration Committee determines that the limitation has been exceeded in any Plan Year, the following provisions shall apply:
		
	(a)
	The Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Contribution Ratio shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet the test or to cause such Contribution Ratio to equal the Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Contribution Ratio.  This process shall be repeated until the ACP Test is passed.  The amount of Matching Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions made by or on behalf of each Highly Compensated Employee in excess of the amount permitted under his or her revised Contribution Ratio shall be added together.  This total dollar amount of excess contributions ("excess aggregate contributions") shall then be first allocated to some or all Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) below and next allocated to some or all Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b).

		
	(b)
	The Matching Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of such contributions shall be reduced by the lesser of:

		
	(i)
	the amount required to cause that Employee's Matching Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions to equal the dollar amount of such contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of such contributions; or

		
	(ii)
	an amount equal to the total excess aggregate contributions.  

This procedure shall be repeated until all excess aggregate contributions are allocated.  The amount of excess aggregate contributions allocated to each Highly Compensated Employee, together with Earnings thereon, shall be forfeited or distributed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c) below.  In the event a Participant has received Matching Contributions and made After-Tax Contributions for the applicable calendar year, the excess contributions shall be first attributed to the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions.
		
	(c)
	After-Tax Contributions that are determined to be excess aggregate contributions for a Highly Compensated Employee pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be reduced, together with Earnings, by being paid to the Participant before the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the excess contributions were made, and to the extent practicable, within 21⁄2 months of the close of the Plan Year in which the excess contributions were made. Matching Contributions that are determined to be excess aggregate contributions for a Highly Compensated Employee pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be reduced, with the vested Matching Contributions, together with Earnings, being paid to the Participant and the Matching Contributions that are forfeitable under the Plan, together with Earnings, being forfeited and treated as Suspense Amounts.

		
	(d)
	In the event any Matching Contributions subject to forfeiture have been distributed to the Participant, the Employer shall make reasonable efforts to recover the contributions from the Participant.

		
	3.10
	Additional Discrimination Testing Provisions

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    20

		
	(a)
	If any Highly Compensated Employee is a participant of another qualified plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, including an employee stock ownership plan described in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code but excluding any other qualified plan that must be mandatorily disaggregated under Section 410(b) of the Code, under which deferred cash contributions or matching contributions are made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee or under which the Highly Compensated Employee makes after-tax contributions, the Benefits Administration Committee shall implement rules, which shall be uniformly applicable to all employees similarly situated, to take into account all such contributions for the Highly Compensated Employee made for the applicable Plan Year under all such plans in applying the limitations of Sections 3.08 and 3.09.  If any other such qualified plan has a plan year other than the Plan Year, the contributions to be taken into account in applying the limitations of Sections 3.08 and 3.09 will be those made within the Plan Year.

		
	(b)
	In the event that this Plan is aggregated with one or more other plans to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code (other than for purposes of the average benefit percentage test) or if one or more other plans is aggregated with this Plan to satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code, then the provisions of Sections 3.08 and 3.09 shall be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentage and Contribution Percentage of employees as if all such plans were a single plan.  If this Plan is permissively aggregated with any other plan or plans for purposes of satisfying the provisions of Section 401(k)(3) of the Code, the aggregated plans must also satisfy the provisions of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code as though they were a single plan.  Plans may be aggregated under this paragraph (b) only if they have the same plan year.

		
	(c)
	The Employer may elect to use Deferred Cash Contributions to satisfy the test described in Section 3.09, provided that the test described in Section 3.08 is met prior to such election and continues to be met following the Employer's election to shift the application of those Deferred Cash Contributions from Section 3.08 to Section 3.09 and provided further that the tests described in Sections 3.08 and 3.09 are both performed on either a prior year testing method or a current year testing method.

		
	(d)
	The Employer may authorize that special "qualified non-elective contributions" shall be made for a Plan Year, which shall be allocated in such amounts and to such Participants, who are not Highly Compensated Employees, as the Benefits Administration Committee shall determine, provided such allocation procedure complies with the applicable provisions of Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-2(a)(6).  The Benefits Administration Committee shall establish such separate accounts as may be necessary.  Qualified non-elective contributions shall be 100 percent nonforfeitable when made.  Qualified non-elective contributions and any earnings credited on any qualified non-elective contributions shall only be available for withdrawal under the provisions of Section 6.02.  Qualified non-elective contributions made for the Plan Year may be used to satisfy the tests described in Sections 3.08 and 3.09, where necessary.  Qualified non-elective contributions may be taken into account in determining the Actual Deferral Percentage or Contribution Percentage of the Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year under Section 3.08 and/or 3.09 provided the contributions are deemed credited to Participants' Accounts no later than the last day of the Plan Year and are contributed not later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year being tested.

The Employer may also authorize that special "qualified matching contributions" shall be made for a Plan Year to satisfy the test described in Section 3.08.  Such qualified matching contributions must satisfy rules similar to those described above for qualified non-elective contributions.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    21

		
	(e)
	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if employees included in a unit of employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement are participating in the Plan and not more than 2 percent of such employees are Highly Compensated Employees and "professional employees" (as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.410(b)-9), then such employees shall be disregarded in applying the provisions of Section 3.08 and 3.09.  However, a separate actual deferral percentage test must be performed for the group of collective bargaining employees on the basis that those employees are included in a separate cash-or-deferred arrangement, provided such group contains at least one Highly Compensated Employee.

		
	(f)
	If the Employer elects to apply the provisions of Section 410(b)(4)(B) to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k)(3)(A)(i) of the Code, the Employer may apply the provisions of Sections 3.08 and 3.09 by excluding from consideration all eligible employees (other than Highly Compensated Employees) who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of Section 410(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

		
	3.11
	Maximum Annual Additions

		
	(f)
	The annual addition to a Participant's Accounts for any Plan Year, which shall be considered the "limitation year" for purposes of Section 415 of the Code, when added to the Participant's annual addition for that Plan Year under any other qualified defined contribution plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, shall not exceed an amount that is equal to the lesser of:

		
	(iv)
	100 percent of his or her Statutory Compensation for that Plan Year; or

		
	(v)
	$40,000, as adjusted pursuant to Section 415(d) of the Code.

		
	(g)
	For purposes of this Section, the "annual addition" to a Participant's Accounts under this Plan or any other qualified defined contribution plan (including a deemed qualified defined contribution plan under a qualified defined benefit plan) maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer shall be determined in accordance with (i) and (ii) below.

		
	(i)
	The annual addition shall include all of the following amounts that have been allocated to the Participant's Accounts under this Plan or any other qualified defined contribution plan (including a deemed qualified defined contribution plan under a qualified defined benefit plan) maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer:

		
	(A)
	the total Employer contributions made on the Participant's behalf by the Employer and all Affiliated Employers, including any Matching Contributions distributed or forfeited under the provisions of Section 3.01, 3.08 or 3.09;

		
	(B)
	all Deferred Cash Contributions, including Deferred Cash Contributions distributed under the provisions of Section 3.08;

		
	(C)
	all After-Tax Contributions, including After-Tax Contributions distributed under the provisions of Section 3.09;

		
	(D)
	forfeitures, if applicable; and

		
	(E)
	solely for purposes of the dollar limit under clause (ii) of paragraph (a) above, amounts described in Sections 415(1)(1) and 419A(d)(2) allocated to the Participant.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    22

		
	(ii)
	The annual addition shall not include:

		
	(A)
	Rollover Contributions;

		
	(B)
	Roth Rollover Contributions;

		
	(C)
	loan repayments made under ARTICLE 7;

		
	(D)
	excess deferrals timely distributed from the Plan under Sections 3.01(e) or (f);

		
	(E)
	Catch-Up Contributions; and

		
	(F)
	Amounts transferred in a plan-to-plan transfer pursuant to Section 414(l) of the Code.

		
	(h)
	If the annual addition to a Participant's Accounts for any Plan Year exceeds the limitation in paragraph (a) above, corrections shall be made in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System.

		
	(i)
	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (c) above, if a Participant is participating in another qualified defined contribution plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer during a particular limitation year, and the Participant's annual addition for such limitation year, prior to the application of the limitation set forth in paragraph (a) above, exceeds that limitation, the Benefits Administration Committee, under uniform rules equally applicable to similarly situated Participants, shall determine how to apply the provisions of paragraph (c) above in order to satisfy the limitation.  In making its decision, the Benefits Administration Committee shall take into account the applicable provisions of the other qualified defined contribution plans.

		
	3.12
	Return of Contributions

		
	(a)
	If all or part of the Employer's deductions for contributions to the Plan are disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service, the portion of the contributions to which that disallowance applies shall be returned to the Employer without interest but reduced by any investment loss attributable to those contributions, provided that the contribution is returned within one year after the disallowance of deduction.  For this purpose, all contributions made by the Employer are expressly declared to be conditioned upon their deductibility under Section 404 of the Code.

		
	(b)
	The Employer may recover, without interest, the amount of its contributions to the Plan made on account of a mistake of fact, reduced by any investment loss attributable to those contributions, if recovery is made within one year after the date of those contributions.

		
	(c)
	In the event that Deferred Cash Contributions made under Section 3.01 are returned to the Employer in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the elections to reduce Compensation that were made by Participants on whose behalf those contributions were made shall be void retroactively to the beginning of the period for which those contributions were made.  The Deferred Cash Contributions so returned shall be distributed in cash to those Participants for whom those contributions were made.

		
	(d)
	In the event that After-Tax Contributions made under Section 3.02 are returned to the Employee in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the elections to reduce after-tax pay that were made by Participants on whose behalf those contributions were made 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    23

shall be void retroactively to the beginning of the period for which those contributions were made.  The After-Tax Contributions so returned shall be distributed in cash to those Participants for whom those contributions were made.
		
	3.13
	Contributions Not Contingent Upon Profits

The Employer may make contributions to the Plan without regard to the existence or the amount of current and accumulated earnings and profits.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, this Plan is designed to qualify as a "profit-sharing plan" for all purposes of the Code.
		
	3.14
	Contributions For a Period in Uniformed Services

		
	(a)
	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified uniformed service duty will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code.

		
	(b)
	Without regard to any limitations on contributions set forth in this ARTICLE 3, with respect to a Participant who is reemployed following a period of service in the uniformed services of the United States and while his or her reemployment rights are protected under Section 414(u) of the Code, contributions shall be made in accordance with this Section.  For purposes of determining contributions under this Section, a Participant's Compensation for the period of absence shall be deemed to be the rate of Compensation such Participant would have received had such Participant remained employed as an Eligible Employee for that period, or if such rate is not reasonably certain, on the basis of the Participant's rate of compensation during the 12-month period immediately preceding such period of absence (or if shorter, the period of employment immediately preceding such period.  Earnings (or losses) on make-up contributions shall be credited in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE 4 commencing with the date the make-up contributions are made to the Trustee.

		
	(i)
	The Employer shall make on behalf of such Participant any Floor Contributions and Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions that would have been contributed to the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan had the Participant remained continuously employed by the Employer throughout such period of absence ("make-up Floor Contributions or "make-up Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions").  Such make-up Floor Contributions and make-up Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions shall be made within 90 days of the Participant's reemployment or when the contributions are otherwise due for the Plan Year in which the period of absence occurred, if later; provided, however, that if it is impossible or unreasonable for the Employer to make the contributions within that time period, the contributions must be made as soon as practicable following the Participant's date of reemployment.  Make-up Floor Contributions and make-up Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions shall be limited as provided in Section 3.04 with respect to the Plan Year or Plan Years to which such contributions relate rather than the Plan Year in which payment is made. 

		
	(ii)
	The Participant may elect to contribute to the Plan the Deferred Cash Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions that could have been contributed to the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan had such Participant remained continuously employed by the Employer throughout such period of absence ("make-up Deferred Cash Contributions" and “make-up After-Tax Contributions”).  Make-up Deferred Cash Contributions and make-up After-Tax Contributions may be made over a period not to exceed three times the period of military leave or five years, if less, but in no event later than the Participant's Severance from Employment (unless he or she is subsequently rehired).  The make-up period shall start on the later of 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    24

the Participant's date of reemployment or the date the Employer notifies the Participant of his or her rights under this Section.  Make-up Deferred Cash Contributions shall be limited as provided in Section 3.01 and make-up After-Tax Contributions shall be limited as provided in Section 3.02 and 3.09 with respect to the Plan Year or Plan Years to which such contributions relate rather than the Plan Year in which payment is made.
		
	(iii)
	If a Participant elects to make make-up Deferred Cash Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions under subparagraph (ii) above, the Employer shall make any new Matching Contributions ("make-up Matching Contributions") on the make-up Deferred Cash Contributions that would have been made to the Plan in accordance with Section 3.03 had the Participant remained continuously employed by the Employer throughout such period.  Such make-up Matching Contributions shall be made at the same time as Matching Contributions are required to be made for Deferred Cash Contributions made during the same period as the Make-up Deferred Cash Contributions are made.  Any limitations on Matching Contributions described in Sections 3.03 and 3.09 shall be applied with respect to the Plan Year or Plan Years to which such make-up Matching Contributions relate rather than the Plan Year or Plan Years in which payment is made.

		
	(c)
	All contributions under this Section other than Catch-Up Contributions made pursuant to this Section and Section 3.01(b) are considered "annual additions," as defined in Section 415(c)(2) of the Code, and shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11 with respect to the Plan Year or Plan Years to which such contributions relate rather than the Plan Year in which payment is made.

		
	(d)
	Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, the maximum amount of make-up contributions that may be made by or on behalf of a Participant shall be reduced by the actual amount of Floor Contributions, Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions, Deferred Cash Contributions (including Catch-Up Contributions), After-Tax Contributions and Matching Contributions, as applicable, made by or on behalf of the Participant during his or her period of service in the uniformed services as a result of differential wage payments (as defined in Section 3401(h) of the Code ) that were made to the Participant.

		
	(e)
	If a Participant dies while performing qualified military service (within the meaning of Section 414(u) of the Code), the Participant’s Beneficiary will be entitled to any additional benefits (other than contributions and benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) provided under the Plan as though the Participant had resumed employment and then experienced a Severance from Employment on account of his or her death.

In the event such Vectrus Stock or Exelis Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange, such shares shall be valued in good faith by an independent appraiser selected by the Trustee and meeting requirements similar to those in the regulations prescribed under Section 170(a)(1) of the Code.

		
	(d)
	The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of ERISA. Consequently, each Participant is solely responsible for the selection of his or her investment options.  The Trustees, the Benefits Administration Committee, the Employer, the PFTIC and the officers, supervisors and other employees of the Employer are not empowered to advise a Participant as to the manner in which his or her Accounts shall be invested.  The fact that an Investment Fund is available to Participants for investment under the Plan shall not be construed as a recommendation for investment in the Investment Fund.

		
	(e)
	The Trustee, or such other custodian as the PFTIC may designate, shall maintain the Vectrus Stock Fund and the Exelis Stock Fund.  It is specifically contemplated that the Vectrus Stock Fund will not operate as an employee stock ownership plan that is designed to invest primarily in Vectrus Stock, within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code.

		
	(f)
	Dividends, interest, and other distributions received on the assets held by the Trustee in respect to the Investment Funds shall be reinvested in the respective Investment Fund.

		
	4.03
	Investment of Contributions

Contributions under the Plan shall be invested by the Trustee as follows:

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    26

		
	(e)
	Subject to the provisions of (b) and (c) below, a Participant shall make one investment election, in multiples of 1%, covering his or her Accounts inclusive of his or her Employer Account, Match Account, Pre-Tax Account, Roth Account, After-Tax Account and Prior Plan Employer Contribution Account to have such amounts invested in any one or more of the Investment Funds.  If no investment election is made, such amounts shall be invested in the Target Retirement Fund that is appropriate based on the Participant’s year of birth (or such other Investment Fund as may be designated by the PFTIC), unless and until the Participant elects to have all or part of such amounts invested in or transferred to other funds pursuant to Sections 7.3 and 7.4.

		
	(f)
	A Participant cannot elect to direct the investment of any amounts into the Vectrus Stock Fund or the Exelis Stock Fund.  Amounts invested in the Vectrus Stock Fund or the Exelis Stock Fund as a result of the restructuring of Exelis Inc. effective on September 27, 2014, are the only amounts that may be invested in such funds.  A Participant may elect at any time to direct the amounts invested in the Vectrus Stock Fund or the Exelis Stock Fund into any other Investment Fund in the Plan, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.03 and Section 4.05.

		
	(g)
	A Participant making a Rollover Contribution and/or a Roth Rollover Contribution pursuant to Section 3.05 may make a separate initial investment election under this Section 4.03.  Such Rollover Contribution and/or Roth Rollover Contribution shall be invested, in multiples of 1%, in any one or more of the Investment Funds as elected by the Participant.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Rollover Contributions and Roth Rollover Contributions may not be invested in the Vectrus Stock Fund or the Exelis Stock Fund.  If a Participant has not made an election with respect to the initial investment of his or her Rollover Contributions and/or Roth Rollover Contributions, such Rollover Contributions and/or Roth Rollover Contributions shall be invested in the Target Retirement Fund that is appropriate based on the Participant’s year of birth (or such other Investment Fund as may be designated by the PFTIC).

		
	4.04
	Changes in Investment Election for Future Contributions

On any business day, by making an election in a form or manner approved by the Benefits Administration Committee or its delegate for such purpose, a Participant may change his or her investment election within the limitations set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to future contributions to the Employer Account, the Match Account, the Pre-Tax Account, the Roth Account, the After-Tax Account, the to be made for any payroll deposited with the Trustee on or after the effective date of such notice.  The effective date of such election shall be the business day following the receipt of a properly completed election.  A Participant shall be permitted to make only one investment election, covering his or her Employer Account, the Match Account, the Pre-Tax Account, the Roth Account and After-Tax Account.
		
	4.05
	Reallocation of Investments

Participants may reallocate the investment of their existing Accounts as follows:
		
	(a)
	On any business day, by making an advance election in a form or manner approved by the Benefits Administration Committee for such purpose, a Participant may elect to reallocate or transfer, as the case may be, on any Valuation Date all or part, in multiples of 1%, all of his or her Accounts among the Investment Funds; provided, however, that no amounts may be reallocated or transferred into the Vectrus Stock Fund or the Exelis Stock Fund.  The reallocation or transfer shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable after the Valuation Date on which a properly completed form is received by the Benefits Administration Committee.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    27

		
	(b)
	The PFTIC may establish such rules and restrictions regarding the redistribution of investments as it deems appropriate, including restrictions on the maximum number of transfers in a calendar month.

		
	(c)
	Any amounts invested in a fund of guaranteed investment contracts or an investment fund covered by a prospectus or other document of similar import or effect shall be subject to any and all terms of such contracts, prospectus or other documents of similar import or effect, including any limitations therein placed on the exercise of any rights otherwise granted to a Participant under any other provisions of this Plan with respect to such amounts.

		
	4.06
	Valuation Date

The Valuation Date applicable with respect to reallocations made in accordance with Section 4.05 shall be the business day such properly completed election is received and processed by the Benefits Administration Committee or its designee and shall not be later than the next business day following the day on which the Participant’s properly completed request is received and processed by the Benefits Administration Committee or its designee.
		
	4.07
	Right to Change Procedures

The PFTIC reserves the right to change from time to time the procedures used in valuing the Accounts or crediting (or debiting) the Accounts if it determines, after due deliberation and upon the advice of counsel and/or the current record keeper, that such an action is justified in that it results in a more accurate reflection of the fair market value of assets. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this ARTICLE and such new administrative procedures, those new administrative procedures shall prevail.
		
	4.08
	Statement of Accounts

For each Participant (or, in the event of the death of the Participant, each Beneficiary), the Benefits Administration Committee shall cause to be prepared statements setting forth the value of his or her Accounts and such other information as required under Section 105(a) of ERISA.  Such statements shall be furnished in the time and manner prescribed by Section 105(a) of ERISA and related guidance thereto.
		
	4.09
	Blackout Periods

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, when required for administrative reasons, the Benefits Administration Committee may temporarily suspend, limit or restrict the rights of Participants, Beneficiaries or alternate payees (as applicable) to direct or diversify the investment of some or all of their Accounts, to obtain loans from the Plan, and to obtain distributions (including in-service withdrawals) from the Plan.  The number and length of such suspensions and the imposition of such limitations or restrictions shall be limited to the greatest extent practicable.  Any suspension, limitation or restriction of rights under this Section 4.09 shall comply with all applicable law and any guidance issued thereunder and may be imposed only if the Benefits Administration Committee timely provides notice of the suspension, limitation or restriction of such rights, as required by Section 101 of ERISA, any guidance issued thereunder, and any other applicable law.
ARTICLE 5.    VESTED PORTION OF ACCOUNTS
		
	5.01

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    28

ARTICLE 6.    WITHDRAWALS WHILE STILL EMPLOYED
		
	6.01
	Withdrawals of Rollover Contributions and After-Tax Contributions

A Participant may, subject to Section 6.06, elect to withdraw all or part of his or her Rollover Account, Roth Rollover Account after the close of the five-consecutive-calendar-year period that began on the first day of the first calendar year in which the Participant made a Roth Contribution and/or After-Tax Account, including any earnings and losses thereon, at any time.
		
	6.02
	Withdrawals After Age 591⁄2

A Participant who has attained age 591⁄2 may, subject to Section 6.06, elect to withdraw all or part of any of his or her Accounts other than amounts attributable to Money Purchase Contributions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no withdrawal may be made from the Participant's Roth Account unless the withdrawal is made after the close of the five-consecutive-calendar-year period that began on the first day of the first calendar year in which the Participant made a Roth Contribution and/or a Roth Rollover Contribution to this Plan.
		
	6.03
	Withdrawals of Money Purchase Contributions After Age 62

A Participant who has attained age 62 may, subject to Section 6.06, elect to withdraw all or part of amounts attributable to his or her Money Purchase Contributions.  If the Participant is married at the time a withdrawal is made under this Section, Spousal Consent shall be required.
		
	6.04
	Withdrawals Due to Total and Permanent Disability

A Participant who has not terminated employment but has incurred a Total and Permanent Disability may, subject to Section 6.06, elect to withdraw all or part of any of his or her Accounts.
		
	6.05
	Hardship Withdrawal

		
	(e)
	A Participant who is not eligible for a withdrawal under Sections 6.02, 6.03 or 6.04 above or who has taken all withdrawals available under Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03 or 6.04  above and his or her Prior Plan Employer Contribution Account as permitted under Appendix B may, subject to Section 6.06, elect to withdraw all or part of any of his or her Accounts, other than earnings on Deferred Cash Contributions and amounts attributable to Money Purchase Contributions, provided that he or she furnishes proof of "Hardship" satisfactory to the Benefits Administration Committee in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) below.

		
	(f)
	As a condition for hardship, there must exist with respect to the Participant an immediate and heavy financial need to draw upon his or her Accounts.  The Benefits Administration Committee shall presume the existence of such immediate and heavy financial need if the requested withdrawal is on account of any of the following:

		
	(iii)
	expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible under Section 213(d) of the Code (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income);

		
	(iv)
	costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence of the Participant (excluding mortgage payments);

		
	(v)
	payment of tuition and related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for the next 12 months of post-secondary education of the Participant, his or her Spouse, 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    29

children or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code and determined without regard to Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) of the Code);
		
	(vi)
	payment of amounts necessary to prevent eviction of the Participant from his or her principal residence or to avoid foreclosure on the mortgage of his or her principal residence; 

		
	(vii)
	payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant's deceased parent, Spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code and without regard to Section 152(d)(1)(B) of the Code);

		
	(viii)
	expenses for the repair of damages to the Participant's principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Section 165 of the Code (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10 percent of the Participant's adjusted gross income); or

		
	(ix)
	the inability of the Participant to meet such other expenses, debts, or other obligations recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as giving rise to an immediate and heavy financial need for purposes of Section 401(k) of the Code.

The amount of the withdrawal may not be in excess of the amount of the financial need of the employee, including any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local taxes and any amounts necessary to pay any penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the hardship distribution.
In evaluating the relevant facts and circumstances, the Benefits Administration Committee shall act in a nondiscriminatory fashion and shall treat uniformly those Participants who are similarly situated. The Participant shall furnish to the Benefits Administration Committee such supporting documents as the Benefits Administration Committee may request in accordance with uniform and nondiscriminatory rules prescribed by the Benefits Administration Committee.
		
	(g)
	As a condition for a Hardship withdrawal, the Participant must demonstrate that the requested withdrawal is necessary to satisfy the financial need described in paragraph (b).  The Benefits Administration Committee shall presume that the hardship withdrawal is necessary to satisfy the financial need provided the following requirements are met:

		
	(i)
	the Participant has obtained all distributions, other than distributions available only on account of hardship, and all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans of the Employer and Affiliated Employers; and

		
	(ii)
	the Participant is prohibited from making Deferred Cash Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax Contributions to the Plan and all other plans of the Employer and Affiliated Employers under the terms of such plans or by means of an otherwise legally enforceable agreement for at least six months after receipt of the distribution.

For purposes of this clause (ii), "all other plans of the Employer and Affiliated Employers" shall include stock option plans, stock purchase plans, qualified and nonqualified deferred compensation plans, and such other plans as may be designated under regulations issued under Section 401(k) of the Code but shall not include health and welfare benefit plans and the mandatory employee contribution portion of a defined benefit plan.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    30

Upon the expiration of the six-month period of suspension of Deferred Cash Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions due to a Participant's hardship withdrawal, his or her Deferred Cash Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions shall resume at the same rate in effect at the time of the suspension, unless the Participant elects to suspend or change elections pursuant to Section 3.06 or 3.07.
		
	6.06
	Procedures and Restrictions

To make a withdrawal, a Participant shall give such advance Notice as the Benefits Administration Committee shall prescribe.  A withdrawal shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following its receipt such properly completed Notice.  If a loan and a hardship withdrawal are processed as of the same Valuation Date, the amount available for the hardship withdrawal will equal the Participant's Accounts and Prior Plan Employer Contribution Account on such Valuation Date reduced by the amount of the loan. The amount of the withdrawal shall be allocated between the Investment Funds in proportion to the value of the Participant's Accounts from which the withdrawal is made in each Investment Fund as of the date of the withdrawal.  The amount of the withdrawal shall be taken from the Participant's Accounts in the order prescribed by the Benefits Administration Committee.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.08, all payments to Participants under this ARTICLE shall be made in cash as soon as practicable. 
ARTICLE 7.    LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS
		
	7.01
	Eligibility

Subject to the following provisions of this ARTICLE 7, a Participant who is an employee of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer may borrow an amount not in excess of the maximum loan amount determined in accordance with Section 7.02.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Benefits Administration Committee may, in its sole discretion, deny a loan to a Participant who is a director or executive officer (or the equivalent thereof) of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer based on a reasonable concern regarding the legality of the loan under Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
		
	7.02
	Amount Available

A Participant may borrow an amount that, when added to the outstanding balance of any other loans to the Participant from this Plan or any other qualified plans of the Employer or Affiliated Employer, including the amount of any unpaid deemed loan distribution and accrued interest thereon, does not exceed the lesser of:
		
	(d)
	50 percent of the Vested Portion of his or her Accounts; or

		
	(e)
	$50,000 reduced by the excess, if any, of:

		
	(iii)
	the highest outstanding balance of loans to the Participant from such plans during the one-year period ending on the day before the day the loan is made, over

		
	(iv)
	the outstanding balance of loans to the Participant from such plans on the date on which the loan is made.

		
	7.03
	Interest

Loans from the Plan shall be repaid with interest.  The interest rate to be charged on loans shall be determined at the time of the loan application and shall be one percent above the prime rate as 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    31

reported in the Wall Street Journal for the last business day of the quarter preceding the calendar quarter in which the loan is processed.  The interest rate so determined for purposes of the Plan shall be fixed for the duration of each loan.
		
	7.04
	Security for Loan

The amount of the loan will be transferred from the Investment Funds in which the Participant's Accounts other than his or her Roth Account are invested to a special "Loan Fund" for the Participant under the Plan.  The Loan Fund consists solely of the amount transferred to the Loan Fund and is invested solely in the loan made to the Participant.  The amount transferred to the Loan Fund shall be pledged as security for the loan.  Payments of principal on the loan will reduce the amount held in the Participant's Loan Fund.  Those payments, together with the attendant interest payment, will be reinvested in the Investment Funds in accordance with the Participant's then effective investment election.
		
	7.05
	Terms

		
	(e)
	In addition to such rules and regulations as the Benefits Administration Committee may adopt, all loans shall comply with the following terms and conditions:

		
	(x)
	An application for a loan by a Participant shall be made in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Benefits Administration Committee, whose action in approving or disapproving the application shall be final. An application of a loan to be funded entirely or in part by a Participant’s Money Purchase Contributions shall be accompanied by Spousal Consent.

		
	(xi)
	Each loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the Plan.

		
	(xii)
	The period of repayment for any loan shall be arrived at by mutual agreement between the Benefits Administration Committee and the Participant and such repayment period shall not exceed the maximum repayment period prescribed in the loan rules adopted by the Benefits Administration Committee.

		
	(xiii)
	Payments of principal and interest will be made by payroll deductions or in a manner agreed to by the Participant and the Benefits Administration Committee in substantially level amounts, but no less frequently than quarterly, in an amount sufficient to amortize the loan over the repayment period.  Loan repayments shall be paid to the Trustees as soon as practicable but in no event later than the 15th business day of the month following the month in which such amounts would otherwise have been payable from payroll to the Participant in cash.

		
	(f)
	If a loan is not repaid in accordance with the terms contained in the promissory note and a default occurs, the Plan may execute upon its security interest in the Participant's Accounts under the Plan to satisfy the debt; however, the Plan shall not levy against any portion of the Loan Fund attributable to amounts held in the Participant's Pre-Tax Account, Employer Account or Prior Plan Employer Contribution Account until such time as a distribution of the Pre-tax Account, Employer Account or Prior Plan Employer Contribution Account could otherwise be made under the Plan.

		
	(g)
	Any additional rules or restrictions as may be necessary to implement and administer the loan program shall be in writing and communicated to employees.  The Benefits Administration Committee is hereby authorized to make such revisions to these rules as it deems necessary or appropriate.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    32

		
	(h)
	To the extent required by law and under such rules as the Benefits Administration Committee shall adopt, loans shall also be made available on a reasonably equivalent basis to any Beneficiary or former Employee (i) who maintains an account balance under the Plan and (ii) who is still a party-in-interest (within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA).

ARTICLE 8.    DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS UPON SEVERANCE FROM EMPLOYMENT OR DEATH

	(c)
	Upon Severance from Employment with the Employer and all Affiliated Employers, distribution of a Participant's Accounts shall be made as follows:

		
	(iii)
	If the value of the Participant's Accounts as of his or her Severance from Employment is $5,000 or less, distribution shall be made in a lump-sum payment.

		
	(iv)
	If the value of the Participant's Accounts as of his or her Severance from Employment exceeds $5,000, distribution shall be made as follows:

		
	(A)
	With respect to a Participant's Accounts other than the portion, if any, attributable to Money Purchase Contributions, his or her Accounts shall be paid in a lump-sum payment unless the Participant elects, in such manner as the Benefits Administration Committee shall prescribe, to receive a withdrawal at any time, and from time to time, of any portion of the Participant’s Accounts.

		
	(B)
	If any portion of a Participant's Account is attributable to Money Purchase Contributions, such portion shall be distributed by the purchase of a nonforfeitable fixed annuity that will pay a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, during the 90-day period preceding his or her Annuity Starting Date and after receiving the written explanation described below, a Participant may elect not to take the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and instead to take the portion of his or her Accounts attributable to Money Purchase Contributions instead in any of the following optional forms of payment:

		
	(1)
	a lump-sum payment;

		
	(2)
	payments over a period certain in monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual cash installments over a period not exceeding the Participant's life expectancy;

		
	(3)
	the purchase of an annuity contract that will provide payments over a period that does not extend beyond either the life of the Participant (of the lives of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary) or the life expectancy of the Participant (or the life expectancy of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary) which shall specifically include a 75% joint and survivor contingent annuity option that provides for a monthly benefit payable to the Participant during his 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    33

or her lifetime and 75% of such amount to his or her named Beneficiary, if living, after the Participant's death; or
		
	(4)
	a withdrawal at any time, and from time to time, of any portion of the Participant’s Money Purchase Contributions.

Elections under this subparagraph (B) shall be in writing and shall be subject to receipt by the Benefits Administration Committee of Spousal Consent to that election.  The Benefits Administration Committee shall furnish each Participant no less than 30 days nor more than 90 days before his or her Annuity Starting Date a written explanation of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity in accordance with applicable law.  A Participant's Annuity Starting Date may not occur sooner than 30 days after receipt of the written explanation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may, after having received the written explanation, affirmatively elect to have his or her benefit commence sooner than 30 days following his or her receipt of the written explanation, provided all of the waiver requirements set forth in Section 8.09 relating to a distribution subject to Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 are met.
		
	(d)
	Upon the death of a Participant before his or her Annuity Starting Date, his or her Accounts shall be paid as follows:

	(B)
	If any portion of a Participant's Accounts is attributable to Money Purchase Contributions and if the Participant is married on the date of his or her death, the portion attributable to Money Purchase Contributions shall be distributed by the purchase of a nonforfeitable fixed annuity that will pay his or her surviving Spouse an annuity for life unless the Spouse waives such form of payment and elects a lump-sum payment.  If the Participant is not married on the date of his or her death, the portion attributable to Money Purchase Contributions shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary in a lump-sum payment.

		
	8.03
	Commencement of Payments

		
	(h)
	Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE, distribution of a Participant's Accounts shall commence as soon as administratively practicable following the later of:

		
	(iv)
	the Participant's Severance from Employment; or

		
	(v)
	the 65th anniversary of the Participant's date of birth

(but not more than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the later of (i) or (ii) occurs).  If a Participant fails to file a claim for benefits by the date specified in the preceding sentence, he or she will be deemed to have elected to defer distribution of his or her Accounts; 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    34

provided, however, that payment must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 701⁄2.
		
	(i)
	In lieu of a distribution as described in paragraph (a) above, a Participant may, in accordance with such procedures as the Benefits Administration Committee shall prescribe, elect to have the distribution of his or her Accounts commence as of any Valuation Date coincident with or following his or her Severance from Employment that is before the date described in paragraph (a) above.

		
	(j)
	In the case of the death of a Participant, before or after his or her Severance from Employment, but prior to his or her Annuity Starting Date, his or her Accounts shall be distributed to his or her Beneficiary as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant's date of death and in no event later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant died.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's sole Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving Spouse, such surviving Spouse may elect to defer the lump-sum payment of the Participant's Accounts until as late as the later of the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant would have attained age 701⁄2 or the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant's death occurred.

		
	8.04
	Age 701⁄2 Required Distributions

		
	(i)
	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, distributions must commence as follows:

		
	(iii)
	If a Participant is a 5-percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code), distribution of the Participant’s Accounts shall begin no later than the April 1 following the calendar year in which he or she attains age 701⁄2, regardless of whether he or she has terminated employment with the Employer and all Affiliated Employers.

		
	(iv)
	If a Participant is not a 5-percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code), distribution of the Participant’s Accounts shall begin by the April 1 following the later of the calendar year in which he or she attains age 701⁄2 or the calendar year in which he or she  terminates employment with the Employer and all Affiliated Employers.

The date prescribed in (i) or (ii) above shall be the Participant's "required beginning date."
		
	(j)
	In the event a Participant is required to begin receiving payments while in service under the provisions of paragraph (a)(i) above or a Participant who has terminated employment with the Employer and all Affiliated Employers is required to begin receiving payments under the provisions of paragraph (a)(ii) above, the Participant may elect to receive payments in accordance with option (i) or(ii), as follows:

		
	(i)
	The Participant may receive a single lump-sum payment on or before the Participant's required beginning date equal to the entire balance of his or her Accounts and, with respect to a Participant who is still employed, annual lump-sum payments thereafter of amounts accrued during each calendar year; or

		
	(ii)
	The Participant may receive annual payments of the minimum amount necessary to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.  An election under this Section shall be made by a Participant by giving written notice to the Benefits Administration Committee within the 90-day period prior to his or her required beginning date.  In the event a Participant fails to make an election under 

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    35

this Section, he or she shall be deemed to have elected payment in accordance with clause (b)(ii) above.  A terminated Participant who elects or is deemed to have elected to receive annual payments equal to his or her required minimum distributions may at any time elect to receive the balance of his or her Accounts in a lump-sum payment or to receive partial withdrawals in addition to his or her required minimum distributions.
The amount of the withdrawal shall be taken pro rata from the Participant's Accounts, except for his or her Roth Account, which shall be the last amount withdrawn. The amount of the withdrawal shall be allocated between the Investment Funds in proportion to the value of the Participant's Accounts as of the date of each withdrawal. The commencement of payments under this Section 8.04 shall not constitute an Annuity Starting Date for purposes of Sections 72, 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.  Upon the Participant's subsequent Severance from Employment, payment of the Participant's Accounts shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.02.
		
	8.05
	Status of Accounts Pending Distribution

Until completely distributed, the Accounts of a Participant shall continue to be invested as part of the funds of the Plan and the Participant shall retain investment reallocation rights as described in Section 4.05.  However, loans or withdrawals shall not be permitted during the deferral period except to the extent required by law.
		
	8.06
	Proof of Death and Right of Beneficiary or Other Person

The Benefits Administration Committee may require and rely upon such proof of death and such evidence of the right of any Beneficiary or other person to receive the value of the Accounts of a deceased Participant as the Benefits Administration Committee may deem proper and its determination of the right of that Beneficiary or other person to receive payment shall be conclusive.
		
	8.07
	Distribution Limitation

Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE 8, all distributions from the Plan shall conform to the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including the incidental death benefit provisions of Section 401(a)(9)(G) of the Code.  The provisions of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations thereunder are hereby incorporated by reference and shall override any Plan provision that is inconsistent with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
		
	8.08
	Direct Rollover of Certain Distributions

		
	(c)
	Elective Rollovers.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee's election under this Section, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Benefits Administration Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.

In addition to the foregoing, any division of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer may be designated by the Board of Directors or its delegate as eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to any or all of its Employees.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    43

		
	(m)
	Any subsidiary or associated company may terminate its participation in the Plan upon appropriate action by it.  In that event, the funds of the Plan held on account of Participants in the employ of that company and any unpaid balances of the Accounts of all Participants who have separated from the employ of that company, shall be determined by the Benefits Administration Committee.  Those funds shall be distributed as provided in Section 11.04 if the Plan should be terminated or shall be segregated by the Trustees as a separate trust, pursuant to certification to the Trustees by the Benefits Administration Committee, continuing the Plan as a separate plan for the employees of that company under which the board of directors of that company shall succeed to all the powers and duties of the Board of Directors, including the appointment of the members of the Benefits Administration Committee and the PFTIC.

		
	11.04
	Termination of Plan

		
	(e)
	The Plan is entirely voluntary on the part of the Employer.  The Board of Directors reserves the right at any time to terminate the Plan, the Trust agreement and the Trust hereunder or to suspend, reduce or partially or completely discontinue contributions thereto.  In the event of such termination or partial termination of the Plan or complete discontinuance of contributions, the interests of Participants shall automatically become nonforfeitable.

		
	(f)
	Upon termination of the Plan, Deferred Cash Contributions, with earnings thereon, shall be distributed to Participants only if (i) neither the Employer nor an Affiliated Employer establishes or maintains a successor defined contribution plan, and (ii) payment is made to the Participants in the form of a lump-sum distribution (as defined in Section 402(e)(4)(D) of the Code, without regard to subclauses (I) through (IV) of clause (i) thereof).  For purposes of this paragraph, a "successor defined contribution plan" is a defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Section 4975(e)(7) or 409(a) of the Code, a simplified employee pension as defined in Section 408(k) of the Code, a SIMPLE IRA plan as defined in Section 408(p) of the Code, a plan or contract that satisfies the requirements of Section 403(b) of the Code, or a plan that is described in Section 457(b) or (f) of the Code) that exists at the time the Plan is terminated or within the 12-month period beginning on the date all assets are distributed, and that accepts salary deferrals.  However, in no event shall a defined contribution plan be deemed a successor plan if fewer than 2 percent of the employees who are eligible to participate in the Plan at the time of its termination are or were eligible to participate in such other defined contribution plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer (other than a plan excluded under the prior sentence) at any time during the period beginning 12 months before and ending 12 months after the date of the Plan's termination. 

ARTICLE 12.    GENERAL PROVISIONS

	(m)
	Payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of any judgment, decree or order that:

		
	(v)
	creates for, or assigns to, a Spouse, former Spouse, child, or other dependent of a Participant the right to receive all or a portion of the Participant's benefits under the Plan for the purpose of providing child support, alimony payments or marital property rights to that Spouse, child or dependent;

	does not require the Plan to provide any type of benefit, or any option, not otherwise provided under the Plan; and

		
	(viii)
	otherwise meets the requirements of Section 206(d) of ERISA, as amended, as a "qualified domestic relations order," as determined by the Benefits Administration Committee.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the amount payable to the alternate payee under the qualified domestic relations order is less than $5,000, such amount shall be paid in a single lump-sum payment as soon as practicable following the qualification of the order.  If the amount exceeds $5,000, it may be paid as soon as practicable following the qualification of the order if the qualified domestic relations order so provides and the alternate payee consents thereto; otherwise, it may not be payable before the earliest of the Participant's Severance from Employment, the time such amount could be withdrawn under ARTICLE 6, or the Participant's attainment of age 50.
		
	(n)

	(o)
	A Participant's benefit under the Plan shall be distributed as required because of the enforcement of a federal tax levy made pursuant to Section 6331 of the Code or the collection by the United States on a judgment resulting from an unpaid tax assessment.

		
	12.02
	Conditions of Employment Not Affected by Plan

The establishment of the Plan shall not confer any legal rights upon any Employee or other person for a continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the rights of the Employer to discharge any Employee and to treat him or her without regard to the effect that that treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant or potential Participant of the Plan.
		
	12.03
	Facility of Payment

If the Benefits Administration Committee shall find that a Participant or other person entitled to a benefit is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident or because he or she is a minor, the Benefits Administration Committee may direct that any benefit due him or her, unless claim shall have been made for the benefit by a duly-appointed legal representative, be paid to his or her Spouse, a child, a parent, or other blood relative or to a person with whom he or she resides.  Any payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Plan for that benefit.
Furthermore, if the Benefits Administration Committee receives, on behalf of a Participant, a power of attorney with respect to such Participant valid under state law, the Benefits Administration Committee shall comply with the instructions of the named attorney to the extent the Benefits Administration Committee would comply with such instructions if given by the Participant and such instructions are consistent with the power of attorney.
		
	12.04
	Erroneous Allocation

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant's Account is credited with an erroneous amount due to a mistake in fact or law, the Benefits Administration Committee shall adjust such Account in such equitable manner as it deems appropriate to correct the erroneous allocation.

However, if the greatest percentage of Statutory Compensation contributed on behalf of a key employee under Sections 3.01(a), 3.03, and 3.04 for the Plan Year (disregarding any contributions made under Section 3.14 for the Plan Year) would be less than 3 percent, that lesser percentage shall be substituted for "3 percent" in the preceding sentence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph, no minimum contribution shall be made under this Plan with respect to a Participant (or an Employee eligible to become a Participant) if the required minimum benefit under Section 416(c)(1) of the Code is provided to him by any other qualified pension plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer.

	Missing Participants and Beneficiaries

If the Benefits Administration Committee cannot ascertain the whereabouts of any person to whom a payment is due under the Plan, the Benefits Administration Committee may, no earlier than three years from the date such payment is due, mail a notice of such due and owing payment to the last known address of such person, as shown on the records of the Benefits Administration Committee or the Employer.  If such person has not made written claim therefore within three months of the date of the mailing, the Benefits Administration Committee shall take the following actions:
		
	(c)
	If the Accounts payable do not exceed $5,000, such Accounts shall be directly rolled to an individual retirement account (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(37) of the Code) (“IRA”) selected by the PFTIC.  The IRA shall be maintained for the exclusive benefit of the Participant or Beneficiary on whose behalf such transfer is made.  The funds in the IRA shall be invested in an investment product designed to preserve principal and provide a reasonable rate of return, whether or not such return is guaranteed, consistent with liquidity, as determined from time to time by the PFTIC.  The establishment of such an IRA shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 8.08(b)(i), (ii) and (iii).

		
	(d)
	If the Accounts payable exceed $5,000 and the Participant has not reached his or her required beginning date under Section 8.04, his or her Accounts shall remain in the Plan in the Participant's name in the Plan, as applicable.  If the Accounts payable exceed $5,000 and the Benefits Administration Committee is unable to locate any such person to whom a payment is due under the Plan or any such person fails to present a check for payment in a timely manner, the amount due such person shall be forfeited at such time as the Benefits Administration Committee shall determine in its sole discretion and pursuant to nondiscriminatory rules established for that purpose (but in all events prior to the time such payment would otherwise escheat under any applicable State law).  If, however, such a person later files a claim for such payment before the Plan is terminated, the benefit will be reinstated and payment made without any interest earned thereon.

	12.08
	Elections and Notices

Any elections, notifications, or designations made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in the manner and time determined by the Benefits Administration Committee under rules uniformly applicable to all employees similarly situated.  The Benefits Administration Committee reserves the right to change the time and manner for making notifications, elections or designations under the Plan if it determines after due deliberation that such action is justified in that it improves the administration of the Plan.  In the event of a conflict between the provisions for making an election, notification, or designation set forth in the Plan and such new administrative procedures, those new administrative procedures shall prevail.  Any notices required to be distributed to and any elections required to be made by Participants, Beneficiaries and alternate payees pursuant to the terms of the Plan may, at the direction of the Benefits Administration Committee, be transmitted electronically or telephonically, to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with any procedures set forth in, applicable law and regulations.
		
	12.09
	Construction

		
	(a)
	The Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered under ERISA and the laws of the State of Colorado, except where ERISA controls.

		
	(b)
	The titles and headings of the ARTICLES and Sections in this Plan are for convenience only.  In the case of ambiguity or inconsistency, the text rather than the titles or headings shall control.

Vectrus 401(k) Plan    55VEC-09.30.2014-10.15

Exhibit 10.15

 
VECTRUS SYSTEMS CORPORATION 
EXCESS SAVINGS PLAN 
Effective as of September 27, 2014 
   
INTRODUCTION 
The Vectrus Systems Corporation Excess Savings Plan (the “Plan”) first became effective as of September 27, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) following the spin-off of Vectrus, Inc. from Exelis Inc. (“Exelis” and the “Predecessor Corporation”) on September 27, 2014.  Prior to the spin-off, the Predecessor Corporation maintained a similar plan, the Exelis Inc. Excess Savings Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”).  Under the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement, the Predecessor Corporation agreed that the spinoff of Vectrus, Inc. from Exelis would not trigger a separation from service for purposes of IRC Section 409A for Vectrus Employees. 

The Plan was created as a spin-off of the Predecessor Plan and to provide a means of restoring the contributions lost under the Vectrus 401(k) Plan (replacement plan for the Exelis Salaried Investment and Savings Plan) due to the application of the limitations imposed on qualified plans by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan shall remain in effect as provided in Section 6.01 hereof, and the Plan shall not deprive a Member of the right to payment of deferred compensation credited as of the date of termination or amendment, in accordance with the terms of the Plan as of the date of such termination or amendment.

The Predecessor Plan was created to provide a means of restoring the contributions lost under the Exelis Salaried Investment and Savings Plan due to the application of the limitations imposed on qualified plans by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code. Effective as of January 1, 2012, the Predecessor Plan was amended to reflect an enhanced employer contribution formula provided under the Exelis Salaried Investment and Savings Plan and to cease salary deferrals by eligible employees effective as of January 1, 2012. 

 All benefits payable under this Plan, which is intended to constitute both an unfunded excess benefit plan under Section 3(36) of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management employees under Title I of ERISA, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation. The Corporation may establish and fund a trust in order to aid it in providing benefits due under the Plan.
