                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Agreement is entered into as of this 1st day of April, 2000, by and
between HADRON, INC., (the "Company") and Jon M. Stout ("Employee").

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee have agreed to terms upon which Employee
will be employed by the Company 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.   Employment.  The Company hereby agrees to employ Employee as its CHIEF
          EXECUTIVE OFFICER for the term as hereinafter set forth. Employee
          shall perform such duties and exercise such supervision and powers
          over and with regard to the business of the Company as are consistent
          with his position. Employee shall report to the Board of Directors
          (the "Board") of the Company. During the term of this Agreement,
          Employee shall devote such time to the business of the Company as
          Employee and the Board deem appropriate, and the Company hereby
          expressly acknowledges that Employee is employed by other companies
          and agrees that Employee may continue that employment, so long as no
          conflict exists between the Company and such other entities. If
          Employee determines that a conflict has or may arise between his other
          employment and his duties and responsibilities to the Company,
          Employee shall notify the Board and shall assist the Board to
          establish and implement appropriate procedures to resolve the
          conflict. Employee shall inform the Board of the extent and nature of
          his activities on behalf of the Company on a periodic basis.

     2.   Limitations on Duties.  The Company acknowledges that Stout my be
          subject to certain restrictions arising out of a NonCompetition
          Agreement entered into between Stout and Northrop Grumman Corporation,
          arising out of Stout's prior position with Data Procurement
          Corporation, Inc. ("DPC"). The Company further acknowledges that in
          order to avoid having Stout possibly violate the NonCompetition
          Agreement, the Company has agreed to the following limitations on
          Stout's responsibilities:

          a.   Current Contracts with the National Security Agency. The Company
               acknowledges that at the time of execution of this Agreement a
               subsidiary of the Company, (EISI), is performing two contracts
               for the National Security Agency, which was a client of DPC
               during Stout's tenure with DPC. It is agreed and understood that
               Stout will not have any involvement with these two contracts with
               NSA. All day-to-day decisions regarding these contracts are to be
               handled by other officers of the Company, and Stout will not have
               any communications with such other officers concerning the
               Company's performance under these contracts. If a decision is
               required on one or more of these contracts which

                                       1

               would, under normal circumstances, be handled by the Chief
               Executive Officer, such issue will be referred to the Chairman of
               the Board of Directors.

          b.   Prospective Contracts with the National Security Agency. The
               Company further acknowledges that the Company is precluded from
               seeking any further contracts (other than the contracts referred
               to in Section 2a above including extensions and follow-ons
               thereof) from the National Security Agency due to the
               NonCompetition Agreement entered into by Stout and Northrop
               Grumman during the term of the NonCompetition Agreement, unless a
               waiver of the NonCompetition Agreement is obtained by the Chief
               Executive Officer of Northrop Grumman prior to seeking such
               contracts.

     3.   Term.  The Company hereby agrees to continue Employee in its employ,
          and Employee hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company, in
          accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, for the
          period commencing on the date of this Agreement (the "Effective Date")
          and ending on the second anniversary of such date (the "Employment
          Period"). Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, the
          Employment Period shall be a constant rolling period of two (2) years,
          commencing on the Effective Date, with the result that, for each day
          after the Effective Date, Employee's term of employment shall be
          extended for an additional day so that at all times the remaining
          period of Employee's term of employment shall be two (2) years;
          provided that the Employment Period shall end at the first day of the
          month following Employee's sixty-fifth (65th) birthday.

     4.   Base Salary and Time Allotment.  During the term of the Agreement,
          Employee shall be available to the Employer thirty (30) hours per
          week. For this, the Employee's initial annual base salary shall be
          $50,000 for the first six-months of employment, after which time shall
          be increased to $140,000 annually. Employee's base salary for the
          future years shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the
          Board in its sole discretion. The base salary shall be payable on a
          bi-weekly basis or such other basis as the Company uses to pay its
          executive officers.

     5.   Stock Options.  The Company shall grant to Employee options in its
          Incentive Stock Option Plan ("Options") in such amount as determined
          by the Board, but such amount shall not be less than 15,000 Options.
          Such amount shall be commensurate with the duties and responsibilities
          of Employee.

     6.   Annual Bonus.  In addition to Employee's Base Salary, Employee shall
          be eligible to earn an annual bonus, in accordance with the Company's
          Bonus Plan, if one is in effect, or by action of the Board at the
          recommendation of the Compensation Committee.

     7.   Fringe Benefits.  Employee shall receive fringe benefits, including an
          automobile allowance in the initial amount of $350 per month,
          consistent with the Company's policies for executive officers and as
          approved by the Board.

     8.   Other Benefits.  Employee shall be fully reimbursed by the Company for
          all expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of
          Employee's duties, upon presentation of expense statements and such
          other supporting information as the Company may reasonably require.
          Unless waived by Employee, the Company shall provide to Employee the
          insurance and medical coverage provided to the Company's executive
          officers, on the same terms and conditions. Unless otherwise agreed to
          by the Board and Employee, Employee shall be entitled to four weeks of
          paid vacation during each year of employment.

     9.   Termination and/or Renewal.  The Company shall have the right to
          terminate this Employment Agreement for Cause on the grounds that: (i)
          Employee acted dishonestly in any activity related to this job; (ii)
          Employee has been convicted of a felony or crime of moral turpitude;
          or (iii) for Employee's gross neglect of his duties. If Employee is
          terminated for Cause, as defined herein, or leaves the employ of the
          Company voluntarily, then no remuneration will be due past the date of
          termination.

          If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate
          Employee's employment other than for Cause, the Company shall pay to
          Employee in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of
          termination the sum of (1) Employee's base salary and bonus through
          the date of termination to the extent not therefore paid; (2) any
          compensation previously deferred by Employee (together with any
          accrued interest or earnings thereon) to the extent not therefore
          paid; (3) any accrued vacation pay, to the extent not therefore paid;
          and (4) the base salary that would have been payable to Employee from
          the Date of Termination to the end of the Employment Period.

     10.  Indemnification.  The Company shall indemnify and hold Employee
          harmless from and against any and all causes of action, claims, costs,
          liabilities, expenses, attorney's fees or damages arising from
          Employee's performance of his duties as described herein, except
          however where such claims, etc. are a result of Employee's gross
          negligence or willful misconduct.

     11.  Full Authority.  Each party represents to the other that: (i) it has
          full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this
          Agreement and to take all necessary corporate action on its part for
          the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it has
          been duly taken; (ii) this Agreement has been duly authorized and
          executed by it; (iii) it is a legal, valid and binding Agreement,
          enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.

     12.  Entire Agreement/Assignment/Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be
          binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its
          successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable by
          either party hereto without the written consent of the other party.
          This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties
          and shall supersede all previous communications, representations,
          understandings, and Agreements, either oral or written, between the
          parties or any officials or representatives thereof. This Agreement
          shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
          the Commonwealth of Virginia.

     13.  Waivers.  A waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this
          Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any
          other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision
          of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict
          adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall
          not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right
          thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other
          term of this Agreement. Any waiver or modification of this Agreement
          must be in writing.
