____________________________
1 | Option grants are permitted under the Companys 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1996 Plan) described in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. Specific grants are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, subject to the annual limitations permitted under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to Incentive Stock Options. The shares granted are in the form of Non-Qualified Stock Options. The shares granted typically are exercisable over a three- to five-year period. The grants are exercisable for a period of ten years, so long as the Grantee remains an employee of the Company. The options will lapse if the Grantee leaves the Company before the exercise date, if the Grantee fails to exercise the options within 60 days of leaving the Company after the exercise date, or if the Grantee fails to exercise the options prior to the expiration date. | |
2 | The exercise price of options granted under the 1996 Plan is equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant as adjusted for the one hundred percent (100%) stock dividend announced by the Company on December 6, 2001. | |
3 | The potential realizable value of the options assumes option exercise ten years from the date of grant and is calculated based upon the assumption that the market price of the underlying shares will increase over the ten-year period at the assumed annual rates, compounded annually. The assumed annual rates in this column are suggested by the SEC. The actual pre-tax value, if any, that an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the Common Stock price over the grant price (listed in this table as the exercise price) on the date the option is exercised, so that there is no assurance the value realized by an individual will be at or near the value estimated in this column. | |
4 | In 2002, Mr. Johnson participated in the Company Stock Option Restoration (Reload) Program resulting in the award of 20,800 stock options included above, which were priced at $33.00 per share and expire in November 2011. | |
5 | In 2002, Mr. Waechter participated in the Company Stock Option Restoration (Reload) Program resulting in the award of 5,000 stock options included above, which were priced at $31.67 per share and expire in October 2011. | |
6 | In 2002, Mr. Bradford participated in the Company Stock Option Restoration (Reload) Program resulting in the award of 30,000 stock options included above, which were priced at $28.66 per share and expire in November 2011. |

COMPANY STOCK PERFORMANCE CHART
The following chart shows how $100.00 invested as of June 30, 1997, in shares of Common Stock would have grown during the five-year period ended June 30, 2002, as a result of changes in the Companys stock price, compared with $100.00 invested in the Russell 2000 Stock Index, and in the Company-selected peer group of companies (Company Peer Group).

1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1996 Plan) was approved by a majority vote of the stockholders at the November 14, 1996 Annual Meeting.
The Companys 1996 Plan is intended to advance the best interests of the Company and its subsidiaries by providing key employees who have substantial responsibility for Corporate management and growth with additional incentives through the acquisition of Company securities, thereby increasing the personal stake of these key employees in the success of the Company and encouraging them to remain in the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition, to accomplish these goals the 1996 Plan is intended to provide additional incentive to highly qualified candidates to accept employment with the Company, particularly where they may be required to forfeit in-the-money options to move to CACI.
The 1996 Plan is administered by the Boards Compensation Committee. At least annually, the Compensation Committee meets to designate eligible employees, if any, to receive grants under the 1996 Plan and the type, amount, dates, and terms of any grants to be made. The Compensation Committee determines specific grants, subject to the annual limitations permitted under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) pertaining to Incentive Stock Options.
Participation in the 1996 Plan may be in the form of an award of (1) options to purchase Common Stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422A of the Code, (2) options not qualifying under Section 422A (i.e., non-qualified options), (3) shares of stock at no cost or at a purchase price set by the Committee, subject to restrictions and conditions determined by the Committee, (4) unrestricted shares of stock at prices set by the Committee, and (5) rights to acquire shares of Common Stock upon attainment of
15
performance goals specified by the Committee. Only non-qualified stock option grants, priced at market on the day of grant, have been awarded under the 1996 Plan. Awards made to senior executives in fiscal year 2002 were in the form of non-qualified options providing for accelerated vesting (on September 1, 2002, July 1, 2003 and 2004) upon attainment of pre-established performance metrics of revenue growth and net-after-tax profit (all of which metrics were achieved in fiscal year 2002).
Awards may be granted under the 1996 Plan to officers, employees, and Directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The total number of shares of Common Stock that have been authorized for issuance pursuant to the 1996 Plan is 4,100,0001. No employee may be granted awards under the 1996 Plan with respect to more than 300,000 shares in any calendar year. The 1996 Plan does not allow an award of Stock Appreciation Rights, or the repricing of previously granted awards.
OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS
At various times in the past, the Company has adopted certain broad-based employee benefit plans in which the Executive Officers are permitted to participate on substantially the same terms as other employees who meet applicable eligibility criteria, subject to any legal limitations on the amounts that may be contributed or the benefits that may be payable under these Company plans. Under the CACI $MART PLAN (a deferred compensation plan established pursuant to the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code) (the $MART PLAN), participants select from a variety of investment options, including a Common Stock investment option. The $MART PLAN authorizes employees to contribute up to fifteen percent (15%) (subject to certain annual limitations) of their total compensation. The Company provides matching contributions of fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the employees contribution up to six percent (6%) of the employees total cash compensation. Company contributions vest over a five-year period. In addition, the Company may make discretionary profit sharing contributions to the $MART PLAN. However, no such discretionary contributions were made in 2002. The Common Stock investment option in the $MART PLAN provides an additional way to link officer and employee interests more directly to that of stockholders. The Company also provides a non-qualified deferred compensation Executive Retirement Plan, which allows officers at the vice president level and above to defer up to fifty percent (50%) of their cash compensation into a tax deferred trust. For senior vice president level and above employees who participate in such plan, the Company contributes an amount equal to five percent (5%) of compensation that exceeds the current annual compensation limit as set forth in Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code $200,000 for the year 2002 in order to compensate for the effective cap on Company contributions to the $MART PLAN applicable to highly compensated individuals as a result of discrimination testing of the $MART PLAN.
OTHER STOCK PLANS
The Company has adopted a variety of stock plans, in which selected Company officers who substantially influence the profitability of the Company are permitted to participate in order to provide additional compensation to those employees, to assist in their retention, and to encourage stock ownership among them. The stock plans are: (1) the CACI Stock Option Restoration (Reload) Program to allow designated Executive Officers to tender currently-owned shares of Common Stock to cover the cost of exercising a vested stock option and obtain a new grant of options to replace those shares used to pay the cost of the exercise of such options (reload shares are limited to twenty percent (20%) of the shares granted to an executive participant); (2) the CACI Executive Stock Bonus Plan to allow eligible Executive Officers to take Common Stock in lieu of cash bonuses annually; and (3) the CACI Officer Stock Deposit Program to allow eligible Executive Officers to deposit annually a one-time minimum of 2,500 shares (up to a maximum cumulative deposit of 25,000 shares) of Common Stock in a trust account established by the Company to qualify for a Company award of twenty percent (20%) of their deposit amount in non-qualified stock options.
____________________________

In 1999, the Company adopted stock-holding guidelines for senior executives involved in corporate strategy formulation and those in a position to influence overall corporate performance and value. Under the original CACI Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan, the executive participants were expected to achieve levels of ownership within: three (3) years of (i) Plan establishment, (ii) hire into the Company, or (iii) promotion to a qualifying executive position. Fifty percent (50%) of an executive participants stock holdings under the guidelines must have been achieved through personal stock ownership (i.e., shares owned outright by the executive, shares held in trust in the Companys 401(k) Plan, or shares acquired and owned by the executive through the CACI Executive Stock Bonus Plan or CACI Officer Stock Deposit Program), with the balance achieved through vested (unexercised) in the money stock options. If stock-holding guidelines were not achieved, the executive participant would be ineligible to receive stock option awards under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan for a period of one year following the date that the participating executive met the established stock ownership criteria. The original stock holding guidelines were based on a multiple of an executives base salary, as shown below. As of August 31, 2002, all executive participants required to hold Common Stock met the requirements of the original Plan.

Effective July 1, 2002, the CACI Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan was amended to: (1) increase, to the levels shown below, stock ownership requirements; (2) require that an escalating percentage of the required stock ownership, eventually up to a level of one hundred percent (100%), be in the form of shares of stock rather than vested options; (3) cause earned bonus payments to be diverted to Common Stock purchases on behalf of participants who fail to achieve stated holdings, until the minimum ownership requirements are met; (4) restrict the sale of stock options if such sale would take the participant below the minimum ownership requirement; and (5) increase the number of senior executives subject to the terms of the Plan.

The Company has also adopted stock-holding guidelines for non-employee Directors. The purpose of the stock-holding guidelines is to align the interests of Directors with those of shareholders, and thereby link business strategy with shareholder value. The CACI Board of Director Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan was adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee), and became effective on July 1, 2002. Under the CACI Board of Director Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan, stock ownership guidelines are based on a multiple of the Board members annual retainer (exclusive of Committee fees, expenses, and extra meeting fees) as follows:

The prescribed levels of ownership must be achieved as follows: (i) by December 1, 2005, or three years following election to the Board, fifty percent (50%) of a Board Participants stock holdings under these guidelines must be achieved through stock ownership (i.e., shares owned outright by the Board Participant, plus any shares acquired and owned by the Board Participant through any plan offered by the Company), with the balance achieved through vested (unexercised) in the money stock options; (ii) by December 1, 2007, or five years following election to the Board, seventy-five percent (75%) of the Board Participants stock holdings must be achieved through stock ownership as defined in this paragraph; and (iii) by December 1, 2009, or seven years following election to the Board, one hundred percent (100%) of the Board Participants stock holdings must be achieved through stock ownership as defined in this paragraph. If stock ownership is not achieved within the guidelines, the Board Participant is ineligible to receive stock option awards under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan for a period of one year following the date that the criteria defined in this paragraph are met. Each Board Participant is required to provide the Committee with an annual report of his or her ownership of Common Stock.
RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS
The Board has selected Ernst & Young LLP, certified public accountants, as independent auditors to examine and report on the Companys financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003.
Over the past several months the Audit Committee of the Board has been closely following developments in the area of corporate governance of public companies. During this process, the Audit Committee became aware of the growing list of advocates of the practice of periodic rotation of audit firms, and noted with particular interest the comments of the Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange supporting such practice. In recognition of these developments, in an effort to keep the Company out in front of governance best practices, particularly in the post-Enron environment, and mindful of the fact that Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as the Companys independent accountants for a substantial number of years consecutively, the Audit Committee decided to look into the possibility of rotating the Companys independent accountants.
The Audit Committee conducted an assessment of the capabilities and proposed fees of a number of large certified public accounting firms that would be eligible to act as the Companys independent accountants in fiscal year 2003. Deloitte & Touche LLP was one of the firms assessed. Based on its assessment process, the Audit Committee decided on August 28, 2002 to select Ernst & Young LLP to examine and report on the Companys
18
financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003 and, accordingly, decided not to renew the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP, which engagement officially ended when Deloitte & Touche LLP completed its review of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.
During the Companys two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, and the subsequent interim period through the date this Proxy Statement was printed, there were no disagreements between the Company and Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to Deloitte & Touches satisfaction would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the Companys two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, and the subsequent interim period through the date this Proxy Statement was printed.
The audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Companys two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, and the subsequent interim period through August 28, 2002, the Company did not consult with Ernst & Young LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
Representatives of both Ernst & Young LLP and Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to attend the Annual Meeting, and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will vote on whether to ratify the Boards selection of Ernst & Young LLP. If a quorum is present, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify such selection.
The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR ratification. If circumstances not presently contemplated so require, the Board may, at a later date, reconsider the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, notwithstanding that a majority of shares may be voted to ratify their appointment.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, TO ELIMINATE
REFERENCES TO CLASS B COMMON STOCK AND TO BRING THE CERTIFICATE INTO
COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT DELAWARE LAW
It is necessary to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to add additional authorized stock in order to: (i) proceed with the amendment to the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan to add 1,850,000 shares for award under the Plan, as described in the section entitled Approval of Amendment to the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan; (ii) have additional shares available as possible consideration for future acquisitions; and (iii) have authorized shares available so that the Board can efficiently take advantage of opportunities to raise capital through additional public offerings in the future.
As approved by the stockholders in 1995, the Companys Certificate of Incorporation authorized the issuance of up to 80,000,000 shares of common stock, 40,000,000 shares of Class A and 40,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. Following the death of the Companys founder, Herb Karr, in 1990, by the terms of the Certificate all Class B Common Stock was converted to Class A Common Stock and all authority to issue additional shares of Class B Common Stock ended. The result was that the Certificate only authorized issuance of up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock (only the Class A Common Stock originally authorized by in the Certificate in 1985). Until the past year, this upper limit on authority to issue common stock presented no practical difficulty for the Company. That changed during the Companys fiscal year 2002 with (i) the Companys one hundred percent (100%) stock dividend which resulted in a doubling of the Companys outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock on December 6, 2001, and (ii) the Companys secondary offering of almost five (5) million shares of Class A Common Stock in March, 2002. As a result of the substantial increase in the number of shares of stock issued and outstanding caused by these events, the present Certificate of Incorporation authority for 40,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock is no longer sufficient to accomplish the objectives described above in the first paragraph of this proposal.
The Board believes that it is in the Companys best interest to amend the Companys Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 40,000,000 to 80,000,000 for the following reasons. First, it will restore to the Board the same authority to issue 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock as was approved by the stockholders in 1985. Second, it will enable the Company to continue its program of grants under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, thereby enabling the Company and its stockholders to continue to benefit from realization of the incentive goals of the plan. Third, it will provide the Board with flexibility in responding to future acquisition or capital raising opportunities. Moreover, the Board believes that the performance of the Company and its Class A Common Stock over the past year confirm the judgment of the Board in declaring the one hundred percent (100%) stock dividend and completing the recent stock offering, and illustrate the potential value to the Company and its stockholders of providing the Board with similar flexibility in the future.
This proposal involves amending Article Fourth of the Certificate to increase the authorization for Class A Common Stock (which will be referred to simply as Common Stock in the amended Certificate) to 80,000,000 shares. This proposal does not involve increasing the 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock that the Company is authorized to issue under its original Certificate. If this proposal is approved, Section (1) of Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation will read as follows:
FOURTH: (1) The total number of shares of all classes which the corporation shall have the authority to issue is Ninety Million (90,000,000), consisting of Eighty Million (80,000,000) shares of common stock of the par value of $0.10 per share (hereinafter called Common Stock), and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock (hereinafter called Preferred Stock) of the par value of $0.10 per share. |
20
A copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Proxy Statement asAppendix A and is incorporated herein by reference.
If this proposal is approved, any or all of the authorized shares may be issued without further stockholder action (unless such approval is required by applicable law or regulatory authorities) and without first offering those shares to the stockholders for subscription. The issuance of shares otherwise than on a pro-rata basis to all stockholders would reduce the proportionate interest in the Company of each stockholder not receiving at least a pro-rata share of such issuance. Apart from reserving shares for options that may be granted under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, the Board has no current plan to issue any of the authorized shares.
This proposal also involves amending the Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate all references to Class B Common Stock. By operation of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation during the 1990s, the Class B Common Stock originally authorized was converted to shares of Class A Common Stock, and the authority to issue additional shares of Class B Common Stock ended. Despite this conversion, the Certificate of Incorporation currently continues to refer to Class B Common Stock. As a result, the Company continues to be charged franchise tax for the shares of Class B Common Stock, which have no value or potential use to the Company. This proposal includes, among other things, amending Article Fourth to eliminate all references to Class B Common Stock. If this proposal is approved, Section (1) of Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to read as follows:
(1) The total number of shares of all classes which the corporation shall have the authority to issue is Ninety Million (90,000,000), consisting of Eighty Million (80,000,000) shares of common stock of the par value of $0.10 per share (hereinafter called Common Stock), and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock (hereinafter called Preferred Stock) of the par value of $0.10 per share. |
In addition, all references to Class B Common Stock will be deleted from Sections (3) and (4) of Article Fourth such that those Sections will be amended to read as follows:
(3) At every meeting of the stockholders every holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote, in person or by proxy, on all matters, including the election of directors, for each share of Common Stock standing in his name on the stock transfer records of the corporation. Directors elected by the holders of Common Stock may be removed, with or without cause, only by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding. If, during the interval between annual meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, the number of directors who have been elected by the holders of Common Stock shall, by reason of resignation, death or removal, be reduced, the vacancy or vacancies in the directors elected by the holders of Common Stock shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Any director elected to fill any such vacancy by the remaining directors then in office may be removed from office by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding. | |
Every reference in this certificate of incorporation to a majority or other proportion of shares of stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such shares of Common Stock. | |
(4) Further Issue. Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE FOURTH, the directors may at any time and from time to time issue shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock upon such terms and for such lawful consideration as they |
21
may determine, and any shares issued for which the consideration so fixed has been paid or delivered shall be fully paid stock and the holder of such shares shall not be liable for any further call or assessment or any other payment thereon, provided that the actual value of such consideration is not less than the par value of the shares so issued. |
This proposal also involves amending the Certificate of Incorporation to bring the Certificate into compliance with current Delaware law, eliminate typographical errors, correct formatting inconsistencies within the document, and simplify certain administrative processes. Such housekeeping changes are proposed to Article Fourth, Sections (2), (2)(d), and (5), and Articles Ninth and Eleventh. Article Eleventh, which listed the names and addresses of the incorporators, was eliminated in accordance with the requirement for an amended and restated certificate. The Board is of the opinion that such amendment and restatement of the Certificate will provide the benefits of simplifying the Certificate, bringing it into compliance with recent Delaware law, and eliminating the need of the Company to pay franchise tax on useless shares of Class B Common Stock.
If this proposal is approved, the amendment will become effective upon filing of an appropriate amended Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will vote on whether to approve the proposed amendment and restatement. If a quorum is present, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve the proposed amendment.
The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR the amendment to, and restatement of, the Certificate of Incorporation.
APPROVAL OF THE 2002 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve the CACI International Inc 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Employee Plan). A copy of the Employee Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company intends to file, as soon as practicable after stockholder approval of the Employee Plan, a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 covering the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Employee Plan.
The following description of the Employee Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Employee Plan. Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Employee Plan.
The purpose of the Employee Plan is to give approximately fifty-five hundred (5,500) employees of the Company and its eligible subsidiaries an opportunity to purchase Common Stock (the Stock). The Employee Plan is intended to provide additional incentives to employees to make a long-term investment in the Company by providing partial reimbursement for their purchase of Stock and by affording eligible employees the opportunity to purchase Stock with pre-tax dollars. The Employee Plan has been designed to permit eligible employees to purchase Stock, on a periodic basis, through accumulated payroll deductions not exceeding: (i) twenty percent (20%) of eligible cash compensation, and (ii) $25,000 of the fair market value of the Stock for each calendar year. Eligible cash compensation includes the employees base pay as of the Offering Commencement Date, as defined in the Employee Plan. The Employee Plan is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) with respect to employee stock purchase plans. The maximum number of shares available for issuance and purchase under the Employee Plan is an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Stock, which shares will be purchased by the Company off the open market on a periodic basis as required.
22
To be eligible to participate in the Employee Plan, an employee must, among other things, be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for a minimum of two months continuous service, while customarily working twenty (20) or more hours each week. Excluded from participating are five percent (5%) or more owners of the Stock, and highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code.
At the commencement of each three-month offering period as defined in the Employee Plan, and subject to Employee Plan purchase limits, each participant will have the option to acquire a number of shares based on the amount of his or her payroll deductions at a share price equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Stock at the beginning or at the end of such offering period, whichever is less. The shares needed for the Employee Plan will be purchased by the Company off the open market.
The Employee Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee), at the expense of the Company. The Committee consists of not less than three members of the Board of Directors who are not officers of the Company or in the employ of the Company. The Committee is also responsible for questions involving the administration and interpretation of the Employee Plan. The Employee Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time, subject to certain restrictions. Upon stockholder approval, the Employee Plan will be put into effect as a replacement for the current employee stock purchase plan as soon as practicable, on a date expected to be no later than April 1, 2003.
The Board believes that the Employee Plan will provide the following benefits to the Company and its stockholders. By facilitating increases in employee stock ownership it will increase the stake that employees have in the Company and align the interests of a greater number of employees with the interests of the stockholders. Because the shares issued for the Employee Plan will be purchased off the open market, the Employee Plan will achieve these benefits without diluting the interests of the public stockholders and it will create another source of demand for the Companys stock. In addition, the availability of the Employee Plan is likely to aid the Company in its efforts to recruit and retain employees.
Federal Income Tax Information With Respect To The Employee Plan
The following is a brief summary of the principal federal income tax consequences under current federal income tax laws relating to purchase of stock under the Employee Plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other things, does not describe state, local or foreign income tax consequences.
Purchase Options granted pursuant to the Employee Plan are intended to qualify as options issued under an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. Under Section 423 of the Code, employees will not realize taxable income upon the grant of a purchase right under the Employee Plan or when they complete their purchase for cash and receive delivery of the Stock which they are eligible to purchase, provided such purchase occurs while they are employed or within three months after termination of employment. If no disposition of Stock acquired through the Employee Plan is made within two years after the date of its grant or within one year after the date of its acquisition, any gain or loss that may be realized on the ultimate sale will be treated as long term capital gain or loss. Notwithstanding the above, upon a sale of the Stock by the employee, including a disposition after the two-year and one-year periods referred to above, or the death of the employee while holding such Stock, the employee will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income in an amount equal to the discount at the time of the acquisition or, if less, the excess of the Stocks value over the original purchase price at the time of such disposition or death, as the case may be. The amount of ordinary income recognized by the employee will decrease the capital gain or increase the capital loss recognized by the employee on the sale of the Stock. The employer is not allowed a deduction for the compensation. However, if such Stock is disposed of within the above described two- or one-year periods, the difference between the market value of such Stock at the time of purchase and the purchase price to the participant will be treated as income taxable to the employee at ordinary income rates in the year in which the disposition occurs, and the employer will be entitled to a deduction for compensation expense in the same amount in such year. The amount of
23
ordinary income recognized by the employee will decrease the capital gain or increase the capital loss recognized by the employee on the sale of the Stock.
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will vote in favor of, or opposition to, this proposal to approve the Employee Plan. If a quorum is present, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve the Employee Plan.
The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR this proposal to approve the Employee Plan.
APPROVAL OF THE 2002 DIRECTOR STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve the CACI International Inc 2002 Director Stock Purchase Plan (the Director Plan). A copy of the Director Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix C and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company intends to file, as soon as practicable after stockholder approval of the Director Plan, a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 covering the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Director Plan.
The following description of the Director Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Director Plan. Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Director Plan.
The purpose of the Director Plan is to give the Companys non-employee Directors a mechanism to assist them in meeting the minimum stock holding requirements of the CACI Board of Director Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan described above. The purpose of the stock-holding guidelines is to align the interests of such Directors (ten in fiscal year 2003) with those of management and shareholders, and thereby link business strategy with shareholder value. The CACI Board of Director Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan was adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the Committee) on July 1, 2002. The minimum stock holding requirements of the CACI Board of Director Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan are described above in this Proxy Statement.
The Director Plan has been designed to permit each eligible Director of the Company and its subsidiaries (Participant) to elect to receive restricted stock units (RSUs) in lieu of up to fifty percent (50%) of his/her annual retainer fees for each year (December 1 through November 30) of service on the Board. Each RSU represents the Participants right to receive one share of Common Stock (the Stock) upon the terms and conditions stated in the Director Plan. A Participant must make such election within thirty (30) days of his or her election or re-election to the Board for the up-coming year of service by completing an RSU Subscription Agreement (Subscription Agreement), which specifies a deferral period for the related RSUs as a number of whole months equal to thirty-six (36) or more. RSUs are awarded at a cost equal to the fair market value of the Companys Common Stock (the Stock) on the date of grant. The fair market value of the Stock is the last reported price at which the Stock was traded on such date or, if no Stock was traded on such date, the most recent date on which Stock was traded, as reflected on the applicable registered national securities exchange. A Participant will be fully vested in each RSU thirty-six (36) months after the date such RSU was awarded, provided that the Participant has remained a Director of the Company for the entire thirty-six (36) month period.
With respect to each vested RSU, the Company shall issue to the Participant one share of Stock at the earlier of: (a) the end of the deferral period specified in the Participants Subscription Agreement pertaining to such RSU, (b) the date of the Participants termination from service as a Director, or (c) the date of the termination of the Director Plan. There will be reserved for issuance to Participants under the Director Plan an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Stock, which will be purchased by the Company off the open market on a periodic basis as required.
24
The Director Plan will be administered by the Committee, at the expense of the Company. Each member of the Committee shall be a disinterested person within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(i) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Committee is also responsible for questions involving the administration and interpretation of the Director Plan. The Director Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board, at any time, subject to certain restrictions. Upon stockholder approval, the Director Plan will be put into effect as soon as practicable on a date expected to be no later than April 1, 2003.
The Board believes that the Director Plan will provide the following benefits to the Company and its stockholders. By facilitating increases in Director stock ownership, the Director Plan will increase the stake that the Directors have in the Company and align the interests of the Directors more closely with the interest of the stockholders. Because the shares owned for the Director Plan will be purchased off the open market and awarded to the Directors without any discount off the fair market value of the Stock, the Director Plan will achieve these benefits without diluting the interests of the public stockholders or additional compensation cost to the Company, and it will create another source of demand for the Company Stock. The availability of the Director Plan also is likely to aid the Company in its efforts to recruit and retain Directors of excellent character, commitment to their duties, unquestioned competence, and insight into the needs of the Company in achieving its strategic objectives.
Federal Income Tax Information With Respect To The Director Plan
The deferred retainer used to buy Stock is taxed on the full value of the underlying shares at the time such shares are distributed to a participant.
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will vote in favor of, or opposition to, this proposal to approve the Director Plan. If a quorum is present, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve the Director Plan.
The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR this proposal to approve the Director Plan.
APPROVAL OF THE 2002 MANAGEMENT STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve the CACI International Inc 2002 Management Stock Purchase Plan (the Management Plan). A copy of the Management Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix D and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company intends to file, as soon as practicable after stockholder approval of the Management Plan, a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 covering the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Management Plan.
The following description of the Management Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Management Plan. Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Management Plan.
The purpose of the Management Plan is to give certain senior executives a mechanism to assist them in meeting the minimum stockholding requirements of the CACI Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan described above. The CACI Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan applies to approximately thirteen (13) Company senior executives who are involved in corporate strategy formulation and are influential on overall corporate performance and value. The purpose of the stock-holding guidelines is to align the interests of such senior executives with those of shareholders, and thereby link business execution with shareholder value. The CACI Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan was adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the Committee) in the year 1999, and amended effective July 1, 2002. The Committee made the recent amendment, in part, to increase the number of shares to be held by such senior executives in succeeding years, to require more outright ownership of Common Stock (as opposed to
25
vested options), and to expand the number of senior executives required to hold Common Stock. The minimum stock holding requirements of the CACI Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines Plan are described above in this Proxy Statement.
The Management Plan has been designed to permit each U.S.-based executive of the Company and its subsidiaries, who holds the position of Executive Vice President or above (Participant), to elect to receive restricted stock units (RSUs) in lieu of up to thirty percent (30%) of his/her pre-tax annual incentive bonus for a given fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). Each RSU represents the Participants right to receive one share of Common Stock (the Stock) upon the terms and conditions stated in the Management Plan. The Participants must make such elections prior to June 30 (the last day of the fiscal year to which the bonus amount will apply) by completing a Bonus Deferral and RSU Subscription Agreement (Subscription Agreement), which specifies a deferral period for the related RSUs as a number of whole years equal to three or more. RSUs are granted at a discounted cost equal to the fair market value of the Stock on the date of grant, less fifteen percent (15%). The fair market value of the Stock is the last reported price at which the Stock was traded on such date or, if no Stock was traded on such date, such price on the most recent date on which Stock was traded, as reflected on the applicable registered national securities exchange. A Participant will be fully vested in each RSU thirty-six (36) months after the date such RSU was awarded, provided that the Participant has remained employed by the Company for the entire thirty-six month period.
With respect to each vested RSU, the Company shall issue to the Participant one share of Stock at the earlier of: (a) the end of the deferral period specified in the Participants Subscription Agreement pertaining to such RSU, (b) the date of the Participants termination of employment, or (c) the date of the termination of the Management Plan. There will be reserved for issuance to Participants under the Management Plan an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Stock, which shares will be purchased by the Company off the open market on a periodic basis as required.
The Management Plan will be administered by the Committee, at the expense of the Company. Each member of the Committee shall be a disinterested person within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(i) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Committee is also responsible for questions involving the administration and interpretation of the Management Plan. The Management Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board, at any time, subject to certain restrictions. Upon stockholder approval, the Management Plan will be put into effect as soon as practicable on a date expected to be no later than April 1, 2003.
The Board believes that the Management Plan will provide the following benefits to the Company and its stockholders. Facilitating increases in executive stock ownership the Management Plan will increase the stake that senior management has in the Company and align the interests of senior management more closely with the interests of the stockholders. The shares used for the Management Plan will be purchased off the open market and will not dilute the interests of the public stockholders. The availability of the Management Plan also is likely to aid the Company in its efforts to recruit and retain senior executives.
Federal Income Tax Information With Respect To The Management Stock Purchase Plan
The deferred bonus used to buy the Stock is taxed on the full value of the Stock upon distribution of the shares. The Company receives an income tax deduction when the executive incurs the tax obligation.
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will vote in favor of, or opposition to, this proposal to approve the Management Plan. If a quorum is present, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve the Management Plan.
26
The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR this proposal to approve the Management Plan.
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE 1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
As previously noted, on August 14, 1996, the Board adopted the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1996 Plan). The 1996 Plan was approved by a majority vote of the stockholders at the November 14, 1996 Annual Meeting. The 1996 Plan is more fully described in the section entitled 1996 Stock Incentive Plan.
The Board believes that the addition of 1,850,000 shares to the 1996 Plan will benefit the Company and its stockholders by allowing the Company to continue to achieve the objectives of the 1996 Plan: (i) to increase the stake of key employees and executives in the success of the Company; (ii) to align the interests of awardees under the 1996 Plan more closely with the interests of the stockholders; and (iii) to aide the Company in its efforts to recruit and retain highly qualified individuals. The Board further believes that the Companys financial performance and the resulting performance of the Common Stock even in a generally down market (see the Stock Performance Chart) indicate that those benefits of the 1996 Plan could more than offset any dilution of the interests of public stockholders resulting from additional awards under the 1996 Plan. Moreover, the Board believes that this proposed amendment to the 1996 Plan will not result in an unacceptable level of dilution to stockholders. According to a recent publication by Watson Wyatt Worldwide entitled Managing Stock Option Overhang in Todays Economy: The 2002 Study, average stock option overhang1 for companies in the technology industry was twenty-four point one percent (24.1%). An overhang of sixteen percent (16%), which the Company would have upon approval of this amendment, falls well below the industry norm. In addition, the 1996 Plan provides that no more than an aggregate 300,000 shares may be granted as Conditioned Stock Awards, Unrestricted Stock Awards or Performance Share Awards; and the 1996 Plan does not allow the repricing of previously granted awards.
A copy of the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (As Amended August 13, 2002) is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix Eand is incorporated herein by reference.
Considering the Companys need for continued availability of option-based incentives for award to achieve the intended benefits of the 1996 Plan, and considering the Companys desire to continue to make awards under the 1996 Plan until 2006, the Board has adopted, and recommends that the stockholders approve, an amendment to the 1996 Plan to add 1,850,000 more shares (approximately ______% of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 24, 2002) that may be granted under the 1996 Plan. This amendment, subject to stockholder approval, will increase the total authorized shares under the 1996 Plan to 5,950,000 since plan inception. In order to proceed with this amendment, stockholder approval will also be needed to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock, as described in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled Approval of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to Increase the Number of Shares of Common Stock, to Eliminate References to Class B Common Stock and to Bring the Certificate Into Compliance With Current Delaware Law.
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will vote on whether to approve the proposed amendment. If a quorum is present, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve the proposed amendment.
The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR the amendment to the 1996 Plan.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2002
The Companys executive compensation policies and practices are overseen by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee). In fiscal year 2002, the members of the Committee were Richard L.

27
Leatherwood, Charles P. Revoile, Vincent L. Salvatori, Richard P. Sullivan, and John M. Toups2. Each Committee member is a non-employee Director. Committee actions concerning Executive Officer compensation are subject to full Board review. Award decisions under the Companys 1996 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, however, are delegated exclusively to the Committee.
Set forth below is the report of the Committee for fiscal year 2002 addressing the Companys executive compensation policies for fiscal year 2002 as they affected (1) Dr. London and (2) Messrs. Bradford, Elefante, Johnson, and Waechter, who were the Companys Executive Officers (Executive Officers).
Executive Compensation Policies
Executive Officers compensation levels are intended to be fair (but not excessive) and competitive with similar sized companies in the Companys industry. In setting compensation levels, the Committee takes into account both objective and subjective performance criteria, including: (1) the Companys after-tax earnings; (2) actual versus target operating performance in terms of revenue and after-tax earnings; (3) each officers initiative and contributions to overall performance; (4) achievement of specific, pre-set strategic objectives; (5) managerial ability; and (6) performance of special projects. Incentive compensation programs typically include performance thresholds, below which either no bonus or a significantly reduced bonus is paid. It is the Committees intent by considering these criteria to tie a significant portion of the Executive Officers compensation to Company performance.
The Company uses stock-based compensation to the Executive Officers as a means of (1) aligning the interests of management with those of the stockholders, and (2) retaining key executives through the use of stock option awards with future exercise dates. The Executive Officers may participate in: (1) the Companys 1996 Employee Stock Incentive Plan; (2) the Stock Option Restoration (Reload) Program; (3) the Executive Stock Bonus Plan; and (4) the Officer Stock Deposit Program (such Plans are described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement).
Executive Officers also are permitted to participate in certain broad-based employee benefit plans on substantially the same terms as other employees who meet applicable eligibility criteria, subject to any legal limitation placed on the amounts that may be contributed or the benefits that may be payable under such plans. For example, the Company makes matching and profit sharing contributions to the Companys voluntary 401(k) $MART Plan on behalf of the Executive Officers based on the amount of each Executive Officers contributions to the Plan and on the Companys profits for each fiscal year. Similarly, the Executive Officers may elect to contribute a percentage of their compensation to the CACI Non-Qualified Executive Retirement Plan.
Relationship of Executive Compensation to Company Performance
Compensation paid to the Executive Officers in fiscal year 2002 (as reflected in the Summary of Executive Officer Compensation table included in this Proxy Statement) consisted primarily of base salary and performance bonus, along with specific stock option grants (as reflected in the Option Grants During Fiscal Year 2002 table included in this Proxy Statement).
Compensation plans for fiscal year 2002 were developed late in fiscal year 2001 following a review of compensation to ascertain the compensation levels that would be necessary or desirable to maintain the Companys compensation structure on a competitive basis, and to provide appropriate incentive for achieving desired Company performance. Specific performance targets were established and incorporated into fiscal year business plans that were developed by the Executive Officers under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Board of Directors.
____________________________

The approved fiscal year business plans were used as the basis for the Companys performance bonus plans, which provided for bonus payments to Executive Officers based on actual versus target operating performance in terms of after-tax earnings for the Company as a whole; and for those Executive Officers in charge of an operating unit, for the Executive Officers particular unit. These plans provided for (1) no bonus payment for performance below a pre-set minimum profit threshold; (2) payment of a base bonus for performance that exceeded the minimum profit threshold; and (3) payment of an enhanced bonus at increasing percentage levels as performance met or exceeded additional pre-set profit levels.
The Companys incentive compensation plans also allowed for payment of additional compensation on the basis of achievement of (1) specific, pre-set strategic objectives and (2) an evaluation of each Executive Officers initiative and contributions to overall performance apart from quantitative financial performance. Payments pursuant to such subjective criteria were determined at or close to the end of fiscal year 2002 after discussions among the Committee and, for all Executive Officers other than Dr. London, after discussions between the Committee and Dr. London.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
The Committees approach to setting the Chief Executive Officers compensation, as in the case of the other Executive Officers, is to tie a significant portion of his compensation to Company performance while seeking to be competitive with other similar sized companies in the Companys industry and to provide the Chief Executive Officer with some certainty as to the level of his compensation through base salary. The Committee believes that this approach appropriately rewards the Chief Executive Officer for achievement of Company performance goals.
Dr. Londons salary and bonus compensation for fiscal year 2002 was One Million Six Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Two Hundred Forty Two Dollars ($1,652,242), an increase of Five Hundred Fifty Eight Thousand Seventeen Dollars ($558,017) from fiscal year 2001 as a result of the operation of Dr. Londons incentive compensation plan applied to the Companys after-tax earnings in fiscal year 2002.
Dr. Londons fiscal year 2002 incentive compensation was based on the Companys net after-tax profit, both for individual quarters within the fiscal year and for the fiscal year as a whole. Dr. London was entitled to a bonus based on each quarters net after-tax profit so long as that profit was equal to or exceeded the net after-tax profit for the same quarter of fiscal year 2001, and a larger, variable bonus upon reaching or exceeding a predetermined threshold net after-tax profit level for the fiscal year. During fiscal year 2002, by operation of the applicable bonus formulae, Dr. London earned One Million Two Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Two Hundred Forty Two Dollars ($1,252,242) in aggregate incentive compensation for quarterly and annual net after-tax profit results for the fiscal year.
The Committee believes that in view of the Companys performance for the year, Dr. Londons compensation for fiscal year 2002 was reasonable.
In June 2002, the Committee and the Board of Directors approved a bonus arrangement for Dr. London for fiscal year 2003 which ties a significant portion of Dr. Londons compensation to the achievement by the Company of certain profit results during fiscal year 2003.

DIRECTOR STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the CACI International Inc Director Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) is to provide an opportunity for Non-Employee Directors of CACI International Inc (the Company) to acquire an equity interest in the Company. Participants in the Plan may elect to receive restricted stock units (RSUs) in lieu of up to fifty percent (50%) of their annual retainer fees (the Retainer). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Companys Class A Common Stock (the Stock) upon the terms and conditions stated herein. RSUs are granted at the fair market value of the Stock on each date a Retainer is paid or would be payable (the Award Date). So long as the Participant remains a Director of the Company for at least three years after the Award Date, his or her RSUs will be settled in shares of Stock following a period of deferral selected by the Participant, or upon termination of service as a Director, if earlier.
II. ADMINISTRATION
The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee). Each member of the Committee shall be a disinterested person within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(i) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act). The Committee shall have complete discretion and authority with respect to the Plan and its application, except as expressly limited herein. Determination by the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties with respect to all matters relating to the Plan.

B. | Valuation of RSUs; Fair Market Value of Stock. The value of each RSU, for purposes of the Plan, shall be determined as follows: The Cost of each RSU shall be equal to the fair market value of the Stock on the date the RSU is awarded. For all purposes of the Plan, the fair market value of the Stock on any given date shall mean the last reported sale price at which Stock is traded on such date or, if no Stock is traded on such date, the most recent date on which Stock was traded, as reflected on the NYSE or other national exchange on which the Stock is traded. | |
C. | Election to Participate. Within thirty (30) days subsequent to his or her election to the Board of Directors (the Board) of each year, each Participant may voluntarily elect to receive an award of RSUs equal to a maximum of 50% of his or her Retainer for that year by completing a RSU Subscription Agreement (Subscription Agreement). Such election may be expressed as either (1) a specified percentage of the Participants Retainer; or (2) a specified dollar amount, up to 50% of the Participants Retainer. Any dollar amount specified must be at least $500; and any percentage specified must be at least 5% and not more than 50%. Where the Participant specifies a fixed dollar amount pursuant to method (2), however, the Subscription Agreement shall provide that, if the specified dollar amount exceeds 50% of the Participants Retainer for the year, the Company shall reduce the dollar amount to not more than 50% of said Retainer amount. Each Subscription Agreement, in addition, shall specify a deferral period for the RSUs to which it pertains. The deferral period shall be expressed as a number of whole years, not less than three, beginning on the award date. Subscription Agreements must be received by the Company (ATTN: Director of Business Operations) no later than thirty (30) days after the Non-Employees election to the Board for the applicable year. |

V. VESTING AND SETTLEMENT OF RSUs

With respect to the Participants remaining nonvested RSUs, the Participant shall receive cash in an amount equal to the Value of such RSUs. | ||

In the case of the termination of any vested RSU, the Committee shall provide payment or other consideration that the Committee deems equitable in the circumstances. |
VIII. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

SECTION 3. Shares Issuable under the Plan; Mergers; Substitution.
(a) Shares Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be five million seven hundred thousand (5,950,000), which number represents (i) the original 1,500,000 shares authorized in 1996, (ii) an additional 550,000 shares authorized in 2000, (iii) which total of 2,050,000 shares was doubled to 4,100,000 shares due to a 100% stock dividend announced in November, 2001, plus (iv) an additional 1,850,000 shares authorized on August 13, 2002. For purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards which are forfeited, cancelled, reacquired by the Company or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan so long as the participants to whom such Awards had been previously granted received no benefits of ownership of the underlying shares of Stock to which the Award related. Subject to such overall limitation, any type or types of Award may be granted with respect to shares, including Incentive Stock Options. Shares issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or shares reacquired by the Company.

In the event of any merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee in its sole discretion may, as to any outstanding Awards, make such substitution or adjustment in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and in the number and purchase price (if any) of shares subject to such Awards as it may determine and as may be permitted by the terms of such transaction, or accelerate, amend or terminate such Awards upon such terms and conditions as it shall provide (which, in the case of the termination of the vested portion of any Award, shall require payment or other consideration which the Committee deems equitable in the circumstances), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 14.
(d) Substitute Awards. The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock based awards held by employees of another corporation who concurrently become employees of the Company or an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or an Affiliate or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of property or stock of the employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances. Shares which may be delivered under such substitute awards may be in addition to the maximum number of shares provided for in Section 3(a), provided that said additional shares shall not exceed five hundred thousand (500,000) in the aggregate over the term of the Plan.
SECTION 4. Eligibility.

Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve.

No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board.
(a) Grant of Stock Options. The Committee in its discretion may determine the effective date of Stock Options, provided, however, that grants of Incentive Stock Options shall be made only to persons who are, on the effective date of the grant, employees of the Company or an Affiliate. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of Section 12 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.
(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant but shall be, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, not less than one hundred percent (100%) of Fair Market Value on the date of grant. |
Appendix E | E-4 |
If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more than ten percent (10%) of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the option price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of Fair Market Value on the grant date. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(c), in no event may the Committee reduce the exercise price of a Stock Option after the original date of grant. | |
(ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date the option is granted.

Other than as provided in Section 5(c), Stock Options shall become vested and exercisable over a period of at least three years at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Committee at or after the grant date. The Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a shareholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. | |
(iv) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods: |
(A) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Committee; | |
(B) If permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, in the form of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or have been beneficially owned by the optionee for at least six months and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date; or | |
(C) If permitted by the Committee, in its direction, by the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. The Company need not act upon such exercise notice until the Company receives full payment of the exercise price; or | |
(D) By any other means (including, without limitation, by delivery of a promissory note of the optionee payable on such terms as are specified by the Committee) which the Committee determines are consistent with the purpose of the Plan and with applicable laws and regulations. | |
The delivery of certificates representing shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the Optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Stock Option or applicable provisions of laws. |

A Participant may elect, with the consent of the Committee, to have such tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to an Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due with respect to such Award, or (ii) transferring to the Company shares of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or have been beneficially owned by the optionee for at least six months and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan and with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.
(c) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition. Each holder of an Incentive Stock Option shall agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after making a disqualifying disposition (as defined in Section 421(b) of the code) of any Common Stock purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.
SECTION 11. Transfer, Leave of Absence, Etc.
For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment:
(a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another;
(b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employees right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing.
SECTION 12. Amendments and Termination.
The Board may at any time amend or discontinue the Plan and the Committee may at any time amend or cancel any outstanding Award (or provide substitute Awards at the same exercise or purchase price, but such price, if any, must satisfy the requirements which would apply to the substitute or amended Award if it were then initially granted under this Plan) for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holders consent. However, no such amendment, unless approved by the stockholders of the Company, shall be effective if it would cause the Plan to fail to satisfy the incentive stock option requirements of the Code, or cause transactions under the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or any successor rule under the Act as in effect on the date of such amendment.
Appendix E | E-10 |
This Plan shall terminate as of the tenth anniversary of its Effective Date. The Board may terminate this Plan at any earlier time for any reason.

The power of the Committee to construe and interpret this Plan and the Awards granted prior to the termination of this Plan shall continue after such termination.
SECTION 13. Status of Plan.
With respect to the portion of any Award which has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a participant, a participant shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Companys obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the provision of the foregoing sentence.

(ii) persons who, as of July 1, 2002, constituted the Companys Board (the Incumbent Board) cease for any reason, including without limitation as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director of the Company subsequent to July 1, 2002 whose election was approved by, or who was nominated with the approval of, at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered a member of the Incumbent Board; or | |
(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or | |

Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of the Plan or any Award under the Plan does not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Affiliate.
SECTION 16. Effective Date of Plan.
The Plan shall become effective upon approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Company present or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders.
SECTION 17. Governing Law.
