                        EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT
                              AND MUTUAL RELEASE


     This Employment Agreement Amendment and Mutual Release ("Agreement" or
"Amendment") is entered into this _______ day of July, 2000, by and between
Hadron, Inc., a New York corporation with its principal place of business at
5904 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, Virginia, (the "Company") and S. Amber Gordon
("Gordon").  This Agreement amends that certain Employment Agreement
("Employment Agreement"), between Hadron and Gordon, dated June 24, 1999.

     WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend and modify the Employment Agreement;
and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Gordon have agreed to terms upon which such
Employment Agreement amendments are acceptable and wish to set forth such terms
and conditions in writing;

     NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:

1.   Gordon hereby resigns as Executive Vice President, Corporate Secretary and
     Treasurer of Hadron effective August 31, 2000.  Simultaneously with
     execution of this Agreement, Company will enter into a Consulting Agreement
     for investor relations services with S.A. Gordon Enterprises, Inc.
     ("SAGE"), of which Gordon is the sole owner and President, attached as
     Exhibit A. Such investor relations services will begin upon Gordon's
     ---------
     resignation, effective September 1, 2000. The Employment Agreement
     otherwise remains in full force and effect until August 31, 2000.
     Effective August 31, 2000, the Employment Agreement shall be terminated and
     of no further force or effect; provided, however that the provisions of
     this Amendment shall survive the termination of the Employment Agreement.
     For the avoidance of doubt, Gordon shall not be entitled to the severance
     payment described in the last sentence of Section 8 of the Employment
     Agreement.

2.   Neither Gordon nor SAGE nor any affiliate of Gordon or SAGE will directly
     or indirectly, employ, engage as a contractor, attempt to employ, solicit,
     or encourage to leave Hadron any individuals employed by Hadron or its
     subsidiaries prior to August 31, 2002.   The covenants in this paragraph 2
     shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provisions of any
     other agreement between Gordon and Company.  Gordon hereby acknowledges
     that breach of any covenant contained in Section 2 would cause irreparable
     injury to Company.  Therefore, Gordon hereby agrees that the covenants
     contained in this section may be specifically enforced through injunctive
     relief; however, the right to injunctive relief shall not preclude Company
     from obtaining any other legal remedy available to it.  If any action at
     law or in equity is necessary for Company to enforce the provisions of this
     Agreement and Company prevails in such action, Company shall be entitled to
     reasonable attorney's fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition
     to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

3.   The Company shall continue to provide to Gordon, for the term of the SAGE
     Agreement, the same or substantially equivalent health insurance and
     medical coverage the Company's currently provides to Gordon. Gordon
     acknowledges that she may not be eligible for Company's health insurance
     under Company's existing plan.  Company may provide required coverage under
     COBRA, under an alternative health issuer or after February 28, 2002, by
     paying Gordon $_____________ per month (in which event Gordon would obtain
     her own coverage).  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Company
     shall have no responsibility for the payment to or on behalf of Gordon of
     any fringe benefits, professional liability insurance premiums,
     contributions to insurance and pension or other deferred compensation plans
     nor will Company have any responsibility for the filing of any documents,
     forms and returns pertinent to all of the foregoing.

4.   Any amounts due and payable to Gordon by Company including payment of
     accrued vacation, deferred compensation plan balance and flexible spending
     account balance, shall be paid to her in full on August 31, 2000.

5.   [Open Issue - Not Approved by Hadron.]  [The Company shall pay any and all
     of Gordon's reasonable attorneys' fees arising from the restructuring of
     the Employment Agreement not to exceed $10,000.]

6.   The Company, Jon M. Stout ("Stout") and Gordon have indicated their desire
     to enter a Put/Call Agreement.  The Company, Stout and Gordon shall enter
     such Put/Call Agreement, as contained in Exhibit B, as of the date of this
                                              ---------
     Agreement.

7.   Except for Company's obligations under this Agreement to Gordon, and the
     Company's obligations to Gordon under any option or retirement plan, Gordon
     hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company and its
     successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, owners, employees,
     representatives, attorneys, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and all persons
     acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of the foregoing (the
     "Company Released Parties"), from any and all claims, demands, actions,
     obligations or liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, which
     Gordon ever had or may now have against the Company Released Parties or any
     of them, including, without limitation, any claims, demands or liabilities
     related to or arising out of Gordon's employment by the Company or
     termination of such employment.

     Except for Gordon's obligations under this Agreement and Gordon's
     obligations under any option or retirement plan, Company hereby releases,
     acquits and forever discharges Gordon and her successors, assigns, agents,
     representatives and attorneys, and all persons acting by, through, under or
     in concert with any of the foregoing (the "Gordon Released Parties"), from
     any and all claims, demands, actions, obligations or liabilities
     whatsoever, whether known or unknown, which Company ever had or may not
