 Exhibit 10.1 

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS 

This Separation Agreement and Release of all Claims effective April 30, 2014 (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and
between Convergys Corporation for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries and related entities (collectively referred to as “CONVERGYS”) and Christine Timmins Barry (“EMPLOYEE”). 

WHEREAS, EMPLOYEE has resigned her employment and effective April 30, 2014 (“Separation Date”), EMPLOYEE will cease to be
employed by CONVERGYS; and 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to resolve all issues related to EMPLOYEE’s employment and separation from
employment with CONVERGYS; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises in this Agreement, the parties agree and covenant as
follows: 
 1. Separation Payment – Consideration. In exchange for the promises and releases of EMPLOYEE, CONVERGYS agrees to pay
EMPLOYEE the following payments: 
 (A) $400,000 less applicable withholdings (which constitutes one year of base pay); 

(B) $280,000 less applicable withholdings (which constitutes AIP bonus target for 2014); and 

(C) A pro-rated AIP bonus for January 1, 2014 through April 30, 2014, less applicable withholdings and payable in the First Quarter
of 2015, but in no event later than March 15, 2015. 
 Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no such payments will be
made to EMPLOYEE unless the EMPLOYEE has signed and returned this Agreement to CONVERGYS and the Agreement has become effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms, no later than the date that is fifty-five (55) calendar days following
the Separation Date. The payments in 1(A) and 1(B) above shall be made on the first regular payroll date following the eighth day after the Separation Date and execution of this Agreement by all of the parties (unless it is revoked by EMPLOYEE as
set forth herein). 
 Provided that EMPLOYEE timely elects COBRA coverage, CONVERGYS also will continue to permit EMPLOYEE to retain
medical, vision, and dental coverage for EMPLOYEE and her spouse and child at CONVERGYS’ employee rates for a period of one year from the Separation Date.

 EMPLOYEE agrees to immediately withdraw any lawsuit EMPLOYEE may have already filed against
CONVERGYS, and agrees not to file any lawsuit against CONVERGYS in the future with respect to any claim released under this Agreement. EMPLOYEE waives any right to re-employment with CONVERGYS, and agrees that CONVERGYS may reject any application

 Exhibit 10.3 

L-3 COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC. 

2008 LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLAN 

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

(Version 0007) 
 THIS
AGREEMENT, effective as of the Grant Date (as defined below), is between L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Optionee (as defined below). 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. 2008 Long Term Performance Plan (the “Plan”) in order
to provide additional incentives to selected officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries; and 
 WHEREAS, the
Committee responsible for administration of the Plan has determined to grant an option to the Optionee as provided herein and the Company and the Optionee hereby wish to memorialize the terms and conditions applicable to the Option (as defined
below); 
 WHEREAS, the following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Option Agreement: 

“Award Letter” shall mean the letter to the Optionee attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

“Common Stock” means the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share; 

“Exercise Price” shall mean the “Grant Price” listed in the Award Letter; 

“Grant Date” shall mean the “Grant Date” listed in the Award Letter; 

“Option Agreement” or this “Agreement” shall mean this agreement including (unless the context otherwise requires) the
Award Letter. 
 “Optionee” shall mean the “Participant” listed in the Award Letter; and 

“Shares” shall mean that number of shares of Common Stock listed in the Award Letter as “Awards Granted.” 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Grant of Option. 
 1.1 Effective as of
the Grant Date, for good and valuable consideration, the Company hereby irrevocably grants to the Optionee the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of the Shares, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and
conditions set forth in this Option Agreement. 
 1.2 The Option is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning
of Section 422 of the Code. 
 1.3 This Option Agreement shall be construed in accordance and consistent with, and subject to, the
terms of the Plan (the provisions of which are incorporated hereby by reference); and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the capitalized terms used in this Option Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan. In
the event of any conflict between one or more of this Option Agreement, the Award Letter and the Plan, the Plan shall govern this Option Agreement and the Award Letter, and the Option Agreement (to the extent not in conflict with the Plan) shall
govern the Award Letter. 

 2. Exercise Price. 

The price at which the Optionee shall be entitled to purchase the Shares upon the exercise of the Option shall be the Exercise Price per share,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9. 
 3. Duration of Option. 

The Option shall be exercisable to the extent and in the manner provided herein for a period of ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the
“Exercise Term”); provided, however, that the Option may be earlier terminated as provided in Section 6 hereof. 
 4.
Exercisability of Option. 
 Unless otherwise provided in this Option Agreement or the Plan, the Option shall entitle the Optionee to
purchase, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, one-third (1/3rd) of the total number of shares covered by the Option on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional
one-third (1/3rd) of the total number of Shares covered by the Option on the second anniversary of the Grant Date and the final one-third
(1/3rd) of the total number of Shares covered by the Option on the expiration of the third anniversary of the Grant Date. Each such right of purchase shall be cumulative and shall continue,
unless sooner exercised or terminated as herein provided, during the remaining period of the Exercise Term. 
 5. Manner of Exercise and Payment.

 5.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and the Plan, the Option may be exercised by delivery of written notice
to the Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee), at its principal executive office. Such notice shall state that the Optionee or other authorized person is electing to exercise the Option and the number of Shares in respect of which the
Option is being exercised and shall be signed by the person or persons exercising the Option. In the event the Company has designated an Award Administrator (as defined below), the Option may also be exercised by giving notice (including through
electronic means) in accordance with the procedures established from time to time by the Award Administrator. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part, provided that
partial exercise shall be for whole shares of Common Stock only. If requested by the Committee, such person or persons shall (i) deliver this Agreement (including the Award Letter) to the Secretary of the Company who shall endorse thereon a
notation of such exercise and (ii) provide satisfactory proof as to the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. 
 5.2
The notice of exercise described in Section 5.1 shall be accompanied by either (i) payment of the full purchase price for the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and of all applicable Withholding Taxes (as defined in
Section 11) pursuant to Section 11 hereof (such payment to be made in cash, by delivering Shares, by withholding a portion of the Shares otherwise issuable or by any combination thereof) or (ii) instructions from the Optionee to the
Company directing the Company to deliver a specified number of Shares directly to a designated broker or dealer pursuant to a cashless exercise election, in which case the Company must receive, prior to the issuance of the Shares in respect of which
the Option is being exercised, payment of the full purchase price for the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and all applicable Withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 11 hereof (such payment to be made in cash, by
delivering Shares, by withholding a portion of the Shares otherwise issuable or by any combination thereof). The value of any Shares withheld or delivered in satisfaction of the purchase price for the Shares in respect of which the Option is being
exercised and/or Withholding Taxes shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date of such withholding or delivery. In the event that Withholding Taxes are satisfied by withholding a portion of the Shares
otherwise issuable in connection with an exercise of the Option, the Company shall not withhold any Shares in excess of the minimum number of Shares necessary to satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes. 

  
 - 2 - 

 5.3 Upon receipt of the notice of exercise and any payment or other documentation as may be
necessary pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 relating to the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, the Company shall, subject to the Plan and this Option Agreement, take such action as may be necessary to effect the transfer
to the Optionee of the number of Shares as to which such exercise was effective. 
 5.4 The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of,
or to have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of, Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option until (i) the Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms of this Option Agreement and the
Optionee shall have paid the full purchase price for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option was exercised and any applicable Withholding Taxes and (ii) the Company shall have issued the Shares in connection with such exercise. 

6. Termination of Employment; Permanent Disability. 

6.1 If, prior to the date of the initial vesting of the Option pursuant to Section 4 hereof (the “Initial Vesting Date”), the
Optionee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries shall be terminated for any reason, other than death or permanent disability (as herein defined), the Optionee’s right to exercise the Option shall terminate as of the effective
date of termination (the “Termination Date”) and all rights hereunder shall cease (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan). 

6.2 Upon the Optionee’s death or permanent disability, the Option shall become immediately fully exercisable as to 100% of the Shares
subject to the Option, and the Optionee or the executor or administrator of the estate of the Optionee or the person or persons to whom the Option shall have been validly transferred by the executor or the administrator pursuant to will or the laws
of descent or distribution shall have the right, within one year from the date of the Optionee’s death or permanent disability, to exercise the Option, subject to any other limitation contained herein on the exercise of the Option in effect at
the date of exercise. For purposes hereof, “permanent disability” means the Optionee (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be
expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months; or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be
expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Optionee’s employer. 

6.3 If, on or after the Initial Vesting Date, the Optionee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries shall be terminated for any
reason other than for Cause or death or permanent disability, the Optionee shall have the right within three months after the Termination Date (or, if the Optionee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is terminated by reason of a
qualified retirement as herein defined, within three years after the Termination Date) to exercise the Option to the extent that installments thereof shall have been or become exercisable at the Termination Date and shall not have been exercised,
subject to any other limitation contained herein on the exercise of the Option in effect at the date of exercise, and (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan) the Optionee’s right to exercise any installments
of the Option that were not exercisable at the Termination Date (if any) shall terminate as of the Termination Date. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated for Cause, the Option shall terminate as of the Termination Date, whether or not
exercisable. For purposes hereof, “Cause” means the Optionee’s (i) intentional failure to perform reasonably assigned duties, (ii) dishonesty or willful misconduct in the performance of duties, (iii) engaging in a
transaction in connection with the performance of duties to the Company or its subsidiaries which transaction is adverse to the interests of the Company or its subsidiaries and is engaged in for 

  
 - 3 - 

 
personal profit or (iv) willful violation of any law, rule or regulation in connection with the performance of duties (other than traffic violations or similar offenses). In addition,
“qualified retirement” means the Optionee (a) terminates employment with the Company and its subsidiaries other than for Cause (and is not subject to termination for Cause at the time of such termination) more than one year after the
Grant Date, (b) is available for consultation with the Company or its subsidiaries at the reasonable request of the Company or its subsidiaries and (c) terminates employment on or after attaining age 65 and completing at least five years
of service in the aggregate with the Company and its subsidiaries (which service must be continuous through the date of termination except for a single break in service that does not exceed one year in length). 

6.4 If the Optionee shall die within the three-month period (or the three-year period, if applicable) referred to in Section 6.3 above,
the Optionee or the executor or administrator of the estate of the Optionee or the person or persons to whom the Option shall have been validly transferred by the executor or administrator pursuant to will or the laws of descent and distribution
shall have the right, within one year from the date of the Optionee’s death (or, if longer and applicable under Section 6.3 above, within the original three-year period referred to therein), to exercise the Option to the extent that the
Option was exercisable at the date of death, subject to any other limitation contained herein on the exercise of the Option in effect at the date of exercise. 

6.5 The Optionee’s rights with respect to the Option shall not be affected by any change in the nature of the Optionee’s employment
so long as the Optionee continues to be an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Whether (and the circumstances under which) employment has been terminated and the determination of the Termination Date for the purposes of this
Agreement (or whether, and the date upon which, the Optionee as suffered a permanent disability) shall be determined by the Committee or (with respect to any employee other than an “Executive Officer” as defined under the Plan) its
designee (who, at the date of this Agreement, shall be the Company’s Vice President of Human Resources), whose good faith determination shall be final, binding and conclusive; provided, that such designee may not make any such
determination with respect to his or her own employment. 
 7. Nontransferability.  

The Option shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the Optionee,
the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. After the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 6.2 or 6.4, be exercised by the
Optionee’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the Optionee’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution. 

8. No Right to Continued Employment. 

Nothing in this Option Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon the Optionee any right to continue employment by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor shall this Agreement or the Plan interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the Optionee’s employment at any time for any reason whatsoever, whether or
not with Cause. 
 9. Adjustments. 
 In
the event that the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are, from time to time, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the capital stock of the Company or other securities of the Company by reason of a merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination of capital stock, or other similar increase or decrease in the number of shares outstanding without receiving compensation therefor, the Committee shall, in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the number and kind of Shares or other consideration as to which such Option, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall

  
 - 4 - 

 
be exercisable and the exercise price therefor. Any such adjustment made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons.
Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional share which might otherwise become subject to the Option. This paragraph shall also apply with respect to any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution in respect
of the Common Stock (whether in the form of cash or other property). 
 10. Effect of a Change in Control. 

10.1 Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, (a) the Option
becomes immediately and fully exercisable as to 100% of the Shares subject to the Option, and (b) upon termination of an Optionee’s employment with the Company, following a Change in Control, the Option shall remain exercisable until one
year after termination, but in no event beyond the Exercise Term. The Company reserves the right to change or modify in any way the definition of Change in Control set forth in this Option Agreement and any such change or modification shall be
binding on the Optionee. 
 10.2 For the purposes of this Option Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the first to occur of
the following: 
  

	 	a.	The acquisition by any person or group (including a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries, of beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of a majority of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities, other than by any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company; 

 

	 	b.	The sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; 

  

	 	c.	The consummation of a merger, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or other reorganization of the Corporation with one or more other entities that are not subsidiaries if, as a result of the consummation of the
merger, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or other reorganization, less than 50 percent of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall immediately after the event be beneficially owned in the
aggregate by the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to the event; or 

  

	 	d.	The election, including the filling of vacancies, during any period of 24 months or less, of 50% or more, of the members of the Board of Directors, without the approval of Continuing Directors, as constituted at the
beginning of such period. “Continuing Directors” shall mean any director of the Company who either (i) is a member of the Board of Directors on the Grant Date, or (ii) is nominated for election to the Board of Directors by a
majority of the Board which is comprised of directors who were, at the time of such nomination, Continuing Directors. 

 11. Withholding of

By accepting this Agreement and the grant of the Option evidenced hereby, the Optionee expressly acknowledges that (a) the Plan is

certainty. In addition, the Optionee understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee will have no rights to compensation or damages related to option proceeds in consequence of the termination of the Optionee’s employment for any reason
