WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive as its Chief Executive Officer

IT IS AGREED:
 
 
1. Employment, Duties and Acceptance.
 
 
1.1 General.  The Company hereby agrees to the employment of Executive as its
Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and President.  All of Executive’s powers and
authority in any capacity shall at all times be subject to the direction and
control of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Board may assign to Executive

Company or any subsidiary of the Company, including serving as an executive
officer and/or director of any subsidiary, as are consistent with Executive’s
status as CEO and President.
 
 
1.2 Full-Time Position.  Executive accepts such employment and agrees to devote
substantially all of his business time, energies and attention to the

they will not interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or
violate the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof.
 
 
1.3 Location.  The Company will maintain its principal executive offices within
a thirty (30) mile radius of its current location in Edgewood, New

5, 2014 and shall continue until December 31, 2016 (“Term”) unless terminated
earlier as hereinafter provided in this Agreement, or unless extended by mutual
written agreement of the Company and Executive.  Unless the Company and

Executive the amount set forth in Section 4.6(a).
 
 
4.3 By Company for “Cause”.  The Company, by written notice to Executive, may
terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for “Cause”.  As used herein, “Cause”
shall mean: (a) the refusal or failure by Executive to carry out specific
directions of the Board which are of a material nature and consistent with his
status as CEO and President, or the refusal or failure by Executive to perform a
material part of Executive’s duties hereunder; (b) the commission by Executive
of a material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or a material
violation of established Company policies; (c) fraud or dishonest action by
Executive in his relations with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates (“dishonest” for these purposes shall mean Executive’s knowingly or
recklessly making of a material misstatement or omission for his personal
benefit); or (d) the conviction of Executive of a felony under federal or state
law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Cause” for termination shall be deemed
to exist with respect to Executive’s acts described in clauses (a) or (b) above,
unless the Company shall have given written notice to Executive within a period
not to exceed ten (10) calendar days of the initial existence of the occurrence,
specifying the “Cause” with reasonable particularity and, within thirty (30)
calendar days after such notice, Executive shall not have cured or eliminated
the problem or thing giving rise to such “Cause;” provided, however, no more
than two cure periods need be provided during any twelve-month period.  Upon
such termination, the Company shall pay to Executive the amount set forth in
Section 4.6(b).
 
 
4.4 By Executive for “Good Reason”.  The Executive, by written notice to the
Company, may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder if a “Good Reason”
exists.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence
of any of the following circumstances without the Executive’s prior written
consent:  (a) a substantial and material adverse change in the nature of
Executive’s title, duties or responsibilities with the Company that represents a
demotion from his title, duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately
prior to such change (such change, a “Demotion”); provided, however, that in the
event of a “Change in Control” (as defined below), no Demotion shall be deemed
to have occurred as long as Executive shall remain as the Company’s head
operational officer, notwithstanding title; (b) material breach of this
Agreement by the Company; (c) a failure by the Company to make any payment to
Executive when due, unless the payment is not material and is being contested by
the Company, in good faith; or (d) a liquidation, bankruptcy or receivership of
the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Good Reason” shall be deemed to
exist with respect to the Company’s acts described in clauses (a), (b) or (c)
above, unless Executive shall have given written notice to the Company within a
period not to exceed ten (10) calendar days of the initial existence of the
occurrence, specifying the “Good Reason” with reasonable particularity and,
within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice, the Company shall not have
cured or eliminated the problem or thing giving rise to such “Good Reason”;
provided, however, that no more than two cure periods shall be provided during
any twelve-month period of a breach of clauses (a), (b) or (c) above.  Upon such
termination, the Company shall pay to Executive the amount set forth in Section
4.6(c).    “Change in Control” shall mean the acquisition, by any person or
entity other than the Company and/or any officers or directors of the Company as
of the date of this Agreement, of securities of the Company (in one or more
transactions) having 50% or more of the total voting power of all the Company’s
securities than outstanding.
 
 
4.5 By Company Without “Cause”.  The Company may terminate Executive’s
employment hereunder without “Cause” by giving at least thirty (30) days written
notice to Executive. Upon such termination, the Company shall pay to Executive
the amount set forth in Section 4.6(c).
 
 
4.6 Compensation Upon Termination.  In the event that Executive’s employment
hereunder is terminated, the Company shall pay to Executive the following
compensation:
 
 
(a) Payment Upon Death or Disability.  In the event that Executive’s employment
is terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, the Company shall no longer be
under any obligation to Executive or his legal representatives pursuant to this
Agreement except for: (i) the Base Salary due Executive pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof through the date of termination; (ii) all earned and previously approved
but unpaid Bonuses for any year prior to the year of termination; (iii) all
valid expense reimbursements, and (iv) all accrued but unused paid time off.
 
 
(b) Payment Upon Termination by the Company For “Cause”.  In the event that the
Company terminates Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to Section 4.3, the
Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive hereunder, except
for: (i) the Base Salary due Executive pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof through
the date of termination, (ii) all valid expense reimbursements and (iii) all
unused paid time off through the date of termination required by law to be paid.
 
 
(c) Payment Upon Termination by Company Without Cause or by Executive for Good
Reason.  In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to
Sections 4.4 or 4.5, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive
hereunder except for: (i) the Base Salary due Executive pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof through the end of the Term payable in accordance with Section 3.1; (ii)
all earned and previously approved but unpaid Bonuses; (iii) all valid expense
reimbursements; (iv) provided that Executive elects to continue health insurance
coverage under the Company’s group medical and dental insurance plans in
accordance with Executive’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the monthly premium cost of such
continuation of medical and dental insurance coverage under COBRA for six (6)
months following the date of termination; and (v) all accrued but unused paid
time off.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs prior to
a termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Sections 4.4 or 4.5 and if
Executive’s employment is then terminated pursuant to Sections 4.4 or 4.5 within
18 months of the date the Change in Control becomes effective, then at the
option of Executive, in lieu of the above compensation and benefits, the Company
shall pay to Executive an amount equal to two (2) times the lesser of (a) the
total compensation (including salary and bonus) earned by Executive during the
last full calendar year of his employment, or (b) the average of Executive’s
total compensation (including salary and bonus) for the five (5) calendar years
ending before the Change in Control (the “Change in Control Payment”).  The
Change in Control Payment will be paid in two (2) installments as follows: (i)
the first installment will be paid on the date Executive’s employment with the
Company is terminated, in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) the sum of
Executive’s total compensation (including salary and bonus) for the calendar
year preceding the year in which Executive’s employment with the Company is
terminated (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to
continue indefinitely if Executive had not terminated employment), or (b) the
maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan under
Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(17) for the year in which Executive’s
employment with the Company is terminated; and (ii) the second installment will
be paid on the first business day following the day that is six (6) months after
the date Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated, in an amount
equal to the balance of the Change in Control Payment.
 
 
(d) In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Sections
4.4 or 4.5, any compensation paid or payable to Executive from sources other
than the Company will offset or terminate the Company’s obligation to pay to
Executive the full amounts pursuant to this Agreement.  In addition, the Company
shall not be obligated to pay the benefits set forth in Section 4.6(c)(iv), upon
Executive’s eligibility to obtain any group insurance coverage from other
employment (whether or not Executive elects such coverage) or upon ineligibility
by law for such COBRA continuation coverage.
 
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
5. Service on the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Board of Directors of
the Company may nominate Executive to serve as a director of the Company,
subject to election by the Company’s shareholders.  Executive acknowledges that
he will not receive any additional compensation from the Company for service as
a director during the Term.  If, at any time during the Term, Executive is not
serving as a director of the Company, he shall nonetheless be invited to attend
each meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company.  If Executive’s
employment hereunder is terminated for any reason and at such time he is serving
as a director, then Executive shall, at the Company’s request, resign as a
director of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, effective upon the date of
such termination.
 
 
6. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.
 
 
6.1 Acknowledgment.  Executive acknowledges that:
 
 
(a) As a result of his current and prior employment with the Company, Executive
has obtained and will obtain secret, confidential or proprietary information
concerning the business of the Company and its subsidiaries (referred to
collectively in this Section 6 as the “Company”), including, without limitation,
financial information, proprietary rights, trade secrets and “know-how,”
customers and sources (“Confidential Information”).
 
 
(b) The Company will suffer substantial damage which will be difficult to
compute if, during the period of his employment with the Company or thereafter,
Executive should enter a business competitive with the Company or divulge
Confidential Information.
 
 
(c) The provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the
protection of the business of the Company.
 
 
6.2 Confidentiality.  Executive agrees that he will not at any time, during the
Term or thereafter, divulge to any person or entity any Confidential Information
obtained or learned by him as a result of his employment with the Company,
except (i) in the course of performing his duties hereunder, (ii) with the
Company’s prior written consent; (iii) to the extent that any such information
is in the public domain other than as a result of Executive’s breach of any of
his obligations hereunder; or (iv) where required to be disclosed by court
order, subpoena or other government process.  If Executive shall be required to
make disclosure pursuant to the provisions of clause (iv) of the preceding
sentence, Executive promptly, but in no event more than forty-eight (48) hours
after learning of such subpoena, court order, or other government process, shall
notify, confirmed by mail, the Company and, at the Company’s expense, Executive
shall:  (a) take all reasonably necessary and lawful steps required by the
Company to defend against the enforcement of such subpoena, court order or other
government process, and (b) permit the Company to intervene and participate with
counsel of its choice in any proceeding relating to the enforcement thereof.
 
 
6.3 Documents.  Upon termination of his employment with the Company, Executive
will promptly deliver to the Company all memoranda, notes, records, reports,
manuals, drawings, blueprints and other documents (and all copies thereof)
relating to the business of the Company and all property associated therewith,
which he may then possess or have under his control; provided, however, that
Executive shall be entitled to retain copies of such documents reasonably
necessary to document his financial relationship with the Company.
 
 
6.4 Non-competition.  During the Term and for a period of two (2) years
thereafter, Executive, without the prior written permission of the
Company,  shall not, anywhere in the world, (i) be employed by, or render any
services to, (a) any person, firm or corporation engaged in the contract
production of aircraft parts or any other business (“Competitive Business”),
which is directly in competition with any “material” business conducted by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries at the time of termination (as used herein
“material” means a business which generated at least 10% of the Company’s
consolidated revenues for the last full fiscal year for which audited financial
statements are available) or (b) any of the Company’s customers or other persons
with whom the Company has a contractual relationship; (ii) engage in any
Competitive Business for his or its own account; (iii) be associated with or
interested in any Competitive Business as an individual, partner, shareholder,
creditor, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant,
advisor or in any other relationship or capacity; (iv) employ or retain, or have
or cause any other person or entity to employ or retain, any person who was
employed or retained by the Company while Executive was employed by the Company
(other than Executive’s personal secretary and assistant); or (v) solicit,
interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company, for the benefit of
a Competitive Business, any of its customers or other persons with whom the
Company has a contractual relationship.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from investing his personal assets in
any manner he chooses, provided, however, that Executive may not, during the
period referred to in this Section 5.4, own more than 4.9% of the equity
securities of any Competitive Business.
 
 
6.5 Injunctive Relief.  If Executive commits a breach, or threatens to commit a
breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 6.2 or 6.4, the Company shall have
the right and remedy to seek to have the provisions of this Agreement
specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being
acknowledged and agreed by Executive that the services being rendered hereunder
to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any
such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company
and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.  The
rights and remedies enumerated in this Section 6.5 shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law
or equity.  In connection with any legal action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the other party for the reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party.
 
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
6.6 Modification.  If any provision of Sections 6.2 or 6.4 is held to be
unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the
tribunal making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope,
duration, or area, or all of them, and such provision or provisions shall then
be applicable in such modified form.
 
 
6.7 Survival.  The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement for any reason, except in the event Executive is terminated by
the Company without “Cause,” or if Executive terminates this Agreement with
“Good Reason,” in either of which events, clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section
5.4 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.  The non-renewal
of this Agreement at the end of the Term shall not be a termination by the
Company without “Cause”.
 
 
7. Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
 
7.1 Notices.  All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing,
and shall be deemed to have been duly given when (i) delivered personally to the

SCHEDULE A

Performance Bonus: Based on our common understanding of the significance of your
participation in the budgeting process of the Company, your bonus shall be based
on specific revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (“EBITDA”) goals, which shall allow you to earn a target annual
bonus equal to sixty (60%) of your annual base salary, if, in each year, the
“Growth” target at the “Baseline bonus” level in the applicable grid below is
achieved.  The Company’s auditors will determine EBITDA after taking into
account all necessary provisions and the accrual of all bonuses, including your
own bonus, and excluding all extraordinary items.  Twenty-five percent (25%) of
the bonus amount will be determined by revenues (the “revenue bonus”) and
seventy-five percent (75%) by EBITDA (the “EBITDA bonus”).
 
EBITDA Bonus
 
 
At 100% of EBITDA target, your EBITDA bonus will equal 100% of 75% of 60% of
base salary.
 
 
1. Should EBITDA fall short or exceed EBITDA target, your EBITDA bonus will
decrease or increase based on the applicable grid below.  For example, if there
is a 50% increase in EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2014, the EBITDA
bonus would equal 150% of 75% of 60% of base salary; and if there were a 10%
decrease in EBITDA in such year, the EBITDA bonus would equal 25% of 75% of 60%
of base salary.
 
 
2. If the decrease in EBITDA is 15% or more, no EBITDA bonus will be paid.
 
 
3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if EBITDA for the year preceding the year for
which the EBITDA bonus is to be determined is less than $1 million, then the
EBITDA bonus will be calculated by comparing the current year’s EBITDA to the
EBITDA of the first preceding year in which EBITDA was in excess of $2 million.
 
 
Revenue Bonus
 
 
At 100% of revenue target, your revenue bonus will equal 100% of 25% of 60% of
base salary.
 
 
4. Should revenue fall short or exceed revenue target, your revenue bonus will
decrease or increase based on the applicable grid, below.  For example, if there
is a 50% increase in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014, the revenue
bonus would equal 150% of 25% of 60% of base salary; and if there were a10%
decrease in revenue such year, the revenue bonus would equal 25% of 25% of 60%
of base salary.
 
 
5. If the decrease in revenue is 15% or more, no revenue bonus will be paid.
 
 
General
 
 
6. For purposes of any given fiscal year, “annual base salary” shall generally
have the meaning of “Base Salary” as defined in your employment agreement then
in effect with the Company.  For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014,
“annual base salary” shall be equivalent to the amount of base salary
(calculated in accordance with your employment agreement, dated December 16,
2009, for service prior to March 5, 2014 and with your employment agreement,
dated March 5, 2014, for service on or after March 5, 2014) reportable on your
Form W-2 filed by the Company.
 
 
7. Both bonuses will be adjusted pro rata if EBITDA and/or revenues fall in
between two grid percentages.
 
 
8. The first $100,000 of performance bonus would be paid in cash.  The balance
would be paid half in cash and half in shares of the Company’s common stock,
valued at the VWAP for the five trading days ending two trading days before
issuance.  They will be issued under the Company’s Performance Equity Plan 2009
or, in the event no shares are available under the Company’s Performance Equity
Plan 2009, such new performance equity plan as the Company may adopt.
 
 
9. The Company and executive to mutually agree on how to handle all
acquisitions.
