111,144 shares of the Class A Common Stock of SRA International, Inc.
(the Company) and 11,070,581 shares of the
Companys Class B Common Stock, par value $0.004 per share
(Class B Common Stock, and together with the Class
A Common Stock, the Common Stock) held by trusts
for the benefit of Dr. Ernst Volgenau (Dr. Volgenau) and members of Dr. Volgenaus family of which Dr. Volgenau is trustee, (ii) 631,888 shares of Class B Common Stock held by a grantor

Affiliated Trusts (the Volgenau Stockholders), may
be deemed to share with Sterling Parent Inc. (Parent) the power to vote or direct the vote of all of the Common Stock owned by the Volgenau Stockholders; however, Parent is not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Company under that agreement. As a result of the Voting Agreement, the Volgenau Stockholders and Parent may be deemed a
group for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Act. Dr. Volgenau expressly disclaims membership in such group, and nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission by Dr. Volgenau as to the existence of such group.
(3) Under the Voting Agreement, the Volgenau Stockholders have agreed to certain transfer restrictions on the disposition of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

A fuller description of the Rollover Letter can be found in the Companys Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on April 5,
2011 (the Form 8-K), which description is incorporated herein by reference. The

incorporated herein by reference.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Volgenau Stockholders
entered into a Voting and Support Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2011 (the Voting

shares of the Companys Common Stock owned by them (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger
Agreement and any transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) against any competing proposal and (iii)
against any other action, proposal or transaction that would delay, impede, frustrate, prevent or
nullify the Merger, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
In addition, the Voting Agreement contains no shop restrictions on the ability of the Volgenau
3
Stockholders to initiate, solicit or encourage alternative acquisition proposals from third
parties and to provide nonpublic information concerning the Company to or participate in
discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals;
provided that the Volgenau Stockholders are permitted to engage in discussions with any third party
with which the Company is permitted to engage in discussions pursuant to the Merger Agreement
regarding equity participation, investment or reinvestment in any alternative acquisition proposal
and terms related thereto. The Voting Agreement terminates upon the earlier of (i) the Effective
Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement. As of
the date hereof, the Volgenau Stockholders hold shares of Common Stock representing approximately
20% of the Companys total issued and outstanding shares, and representing approximately 71% of the
voting power of the Companys outstanding capital stock.
A fuller description of the Voting Agreement can be found in the Form 8-K, which description
is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, which
is filed as Exhibit 7.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The descriptions of the Merger and of the Merger Agreement set forth in Item 4 below are
incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 3.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger
Agreement) with Parent and Sterling Merger Inc. (Merger Sub). Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and
into the Company (the Merger), with the Company as the surviving entity and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time of the Merger, each stockholder of the
Company will be entitled to receive $31.25 per share in cash without interest for each share of
issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, excluding (i) treasury stock,
(ii) Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub and (iii) Common Stock with respect to which
appraisal rights under Delaware law are properly exercised and not withdrawn.
A fuller description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement can be found in the Form 8-K,
which description is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 7.3
hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Except as set forth herein, the Rollover Letter, the Voting Agreement or the Merger Agreement,
Dr. Volgenau does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of
the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) As of the close of business on June 6, 2011, Dr. Volgenau may be deemed to beneficially
own 11,815,983 shares of the Common Stock which includes (i) 111,144 shares of the Class A Common
Stock and 11,070,581 shares of the Class B Common Stock held by trusts for the benefit of Dr.
Volgenau and members of Dr. Volgenaus family of which Dr. Volgenau is trustee, (ii) 631,888 shares
of Class B Common Stock held by a grantor retained annuity trust for the benefit of members of Dr.
Volgenaus family of which Sara Volgenau, Dr. Volgenaus wife, is trustee, (iii) 200 shares of
Class A Common Stock owned directly by Dr. Volgenau and (iv) 2,170 shares of Class A Common stock
held in Dr. Volgenaus 401(k) account. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one
share of Class A Common Stock; therefore Dr. Volgenau would be deemed to have beneficial ownership
of 11,815,983 shares of the Class A Common Stock, which would represent approximately 20% of the
Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding on April 30, 2011, as reported in the Companys
quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on May 10, 2011 (assuming the conversion of all Class B Common
Stock into Class A Common Stock).
4
As a result of the matters described in Items 3 and 4 above, the Volgenau Stockholders and
Holdco may be deemed a group for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a member of a group, Dr. Volgenau may be deemed to
beneficially own any shares of Common Stock that may be beneficially owned by each other member of
the group and Holdco may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock that may be
beneficially owned by Dr. Volgenau. Dr. Volgenau expressly disclaims (i) membership of any group
with Holdco, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates and (ii) beneficial ownership
of any shares of Common Stock that may be owned by Holdco, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their
respective affiliates. Dr. Volgenau does not have any affirmative information about any such
shares that may be beneficially owned by such persons.
(b) As a result of the Voting Agreement, Dr. Volgenau may be deemed to share with Parent the
power to vote or direct the vote of all of the Common Stock owned by the Volgenau Stockholders
(representing approximately 71% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the
Company), however, Parent is not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Company under that
agreement and does not control the voting of shares held by the Volgenau Stockholders with respect
to any other matters. Sara Volgenau, Dr. Volgenaus spouse, and Dr. Volgenau share the power to
dispose of the 631,888 shares of Class B Common Stock held by, the Ernst Volgenau 2010 Grantor
Retained Annuity Trust, an estate planning trust of which Sara Volgenau is the trustee and Dr.
Volgenau retains the sole power to vote such shares in the trust.
Sara Volgenau is currently retired and was the former secretary of the Company. Her business
address is c/o SRA International, Inc. 4300 Fair Lakes Court, Fairfax, VA 22033. Sara Volgenau has
not, during the past five years, (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which she was or is subject to a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to
such laws. Sara Volgenau is a United States citizen.

February 13, 2011, the Ernst Volgenau 2009 Grantor Retained
Annuity Trust, an estate
planning trust of which Dr. Volgenau was the trustee, made its required annuity payment of (i)
286,638 shares of Class B Common Stock to Dr. Volgenau and (ii) 116,089 shares of Class B Common
Stock to each of Dr. Volgenaus three children. Following such annuity payments, the Ernst
Volgenau 2009 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust terminated pursuant to its terms.
On
March 18, 2011, Dr. Volgenau, for estate planning purposes, transferred (i) 5,000,000
shares of Class B Common Stock to The Ernst Volgenau 2011 Charitable Remainder Unitrust I, a newly
created estate planning trust of which Dr. Volgenau is the trustee and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock to The Ernst Volgenau 2011 Charitable Remainder Unitrust II, a newly created
estate planning trust of which Dr. Volgenau is the trustee.

Trust, an estate planning
trust of which Sara Volgenau is the trustee, made its required annuity payment of 368,112 shares of
