        AGREEMENT made this 8th day of July 2003 by and between EDO Corporation,

                                W I T N E S E TH:

        WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders that its management (including Executive) be
encouraged to remain with the Company and to continue to devote full attention
to the Company's business in the event of a "Change in Control" paragraph 9.1)
or a "Potential Change in Control" (paragraph 9.2).

        WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the possibility of a Change in
Control or a Potential Change in Control and the uncertainty and questions,
which either event may raise among management, may result in the departure or
distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its
stockholders;

        WHEREAS, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has determined
that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued
attention and dedication of members of the Company's management to their
assigned duties without distraction in the face of the potentially disturbing
circumstances arising from a Change in Control or a Potential Change in Control;

        WHEREAS, the Company believes Executive has made valuable contributions
to the productivity and profitability of the Company;

        WHEREAS, should a Potential Change in Control occur, the Board believes
it imperative that the Company and the Board be able to rely upon the Executive
to continue in his position, and that the Company be able to receive and rely
upon his advice as to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
without concern that he might be distracted by the personal uncertainties and
risks created by such event; and

        WHEREAS, should a Potential Change in Control occur, in addition to the
Executive's regular duties, he may be called upon to assist in the assessment of
any proposals of any person concerning the possible business combination of the
Company or acquisition of equity securities of the Company, advise management
and the Board as to whether such proposals would be in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders, and to take such other actions as the Board might
determine to be appropriate;

        NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the
Company so that the Company will have the continued undivided attention and
services of the Executive and the availability of his advice and counsel during
the period of a Change in Control or a Potential Change in Control, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the Company and Executive agree as
follows:

                                     GENERAL

        1. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide Executive with" Special
Severance Pay Benefits" in the event of, or following, a Change In Control. The

this Agreement shall then expire automatically as of the date which is eighteen
months following the commencement of such Potential Change in Control in the
event no Change in Control occurs within such eighteen month period.

        3. This Agreement may be renewed each year by mutual consent of the
Company and Executive by the issuance of a letter of notification and agreement

            o Executive's full base salary earned from the beginning of the
              calendar year in which the Date of Employment Termination occurs
              through the Date of Employment Termination multiplied by the

                                    Article 4
                           Pension Adjustment Payment

         Payment of this portion of Special Severance pay Benefits shall consist
of the following:

            o An amount which, as of the Date of Employment Termination, is
              equal to the projected Company Contribution to the Employee Stock

              if the one and one-half (1 1/2) year of participation after the
              Date of Employment Termination had continued;

            o and the Defined Benefit calculation as defined in paragraph

                                    Article 5
                             Stock Option Adjustment

         The "Stock Option Adjustment" portion of Special Severance Pay Benefits

options issued to him under the 1996 or 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan or any
predecessor or successor plans, to elect stock appreciation rights and shall
consist of an amount equal to (a) the number of common shares as to which
Executive shall have made such election, multiplied by (b) the excess, if any,
of (x) the highest price per share actually paid in connection with any Change
in Control, over (y) the fair market value of a common share on the date of such
election.

                                 Article 6 Taxes

         6.1 In the event that any amount or benefit paid or distributed to
Executive pursuant to this Agreement, taken together with any amounts or
benefits otherwise paid or distributed to Executive by the Company or any
affiliated company (collectively, the "Covered Payments"), would be an "excess
parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G of the Code and would thereby
subject Executive to the tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of
the Code (or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed), the provisions of
this Article 6 shall apply to determine the amounts payable to Executive
pursuant to this Agreement.

         6.2 Immediately following Date of Employment Termination, the Company
shall notify Executive of the aggregate present value of all termination
benefits to which he would be entitled under this Agreement and any other plan,
program or arrangement as of the projected date of termination, together with
the projected maximum payments, determined as of such projected date of
termination that could be paid without Executive being subject to the Excise
Tax.

         6.3 If the aggregate value of all compensation payments or benefits to
be paid or provided to Executive under this Agreement and any other plan,
agreement or


<PAGE>


arrangement with the Company is less than 105% of the amount which can be paid
to Executive without Executive incurring an Excise Tax, then the amounts payable
to Executive under this Agreement may, in the discretion of the Company, be
reduced but not below zero, the maximum amount which may be paid hereunder
without Executive becoming subject to such an Excise Tax (such reduced payments
to be referred to as the "Payment Cap"). In the event that Executive receives
reduced payments and benefits hereunder, Executive shall have the right to
designate which of the payments and benefits otherwise provided for in this
Agreement that he will receive in connection with the application of the Payment
Cap.

         6.4 If the aggregate value of all compensation payments or benefits to
be paid or provided to Executive under this Agreement and any other plan,
agreement or arrangement with the Company is greater than 105% of the amount
which can be paid to Executive without Executive incurring an Excise Tax, the
Company shall pay to Executive immediately following Executive's termination of
employment an additional amount (the "Tax Adjustment") such that the net amount
retained by Executive with respect to such Covered Payments, after deduction of
any Excise Tax on the Covered Payments and any Federal, state and local income
tax and Excise Tax on the Tax Adjustment provided for by this Article 6, but
before deduction for any Federal, state or local income or employment tax
withholding on such Covered Payments, shall be equal to the amount of Covered
Payments.

         6.5 For purposes of determining whether any of the Covered Payments
will be subject to the Excise Tax, and the amount of such Excise Tax,

         (a) Such Covered Payments will be treated as "parachute payments"
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and all "parachute payments" in
excess of the "base amount" as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code)
shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent
that, in the good faith judgment of the Company's independent certified public
accountants appointed prior to the Effective Date or tax counsel selected by
such Accountants (the "Accountants"), the Company has a reasonable basis to
conclude that such Covered Payments (in whole or in part) either do not
constitute "parachute payments" or represent reasonable compensation for person
services actually rendered (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)()(B) of the
Code) in excess of the "base amount," or such "parachute payments" are otherwise
not subject to such Excise Tax, and

         (b) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or
benefit shall be determined by the Accountants in accordance with the principles
of Section 280G of the Code.

         6.6 For purposes of determining whether Executive would receive a
greater net after-tax benefit were the amounts payable under this Agreement
reduced in accordance with Paragraph 6.3, Executive shall be deemed to pay:

         (a)Federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of
Federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the first amounts are to
be paid hereunder, and


<PAGE>

         (b) any applicable state and local income taxes at the highest
applicable marginal rate of taxation for such calendar year, net of the maximum
reduction in Federal income taxes which could be obtained from the deduction of
such state or local taxes if paid in such year.

         6.7 If Executive receives reduced payments and benefits under this
Article 6, or this Article 6 is determined not to be applicable to Executive
because the Accountants conclude that Executive is not subject to any Excise
Tax, and in either case it is thereafter established pursuant to a final
determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service proceeding (a "Final
Determination") that, notwithstanding the good faith or Executive and the
Company in applying the terms of this Agreement, the aggregate of the "parachute
payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code paid to Executive or
for his benefit are in an amount that would result in Executive being subject to
an Excise Tax, then the amount equal to such excess parachute payments shall be
deemed for all purposes to be a loan to Executive made on the date of receipt of
such excess payments, which Executive shall have an obligation to repay to the
Company on demand, together with interest on such amount at the applicable
Federal rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the date of the
payment hereunder to the date of repayment by Executive. If this Article 6 is
not applied to reduce Executive's entitlements because the Accountants determine
that Executive would not receive a greater net-after-tax benefit by applying
this Article 6 and it is established pursuant to a Final Determination that,
notwithstanding the good faith of Executive and the Company in applying the
terms of this Agreement, Executive would have received a greater net after tax
benefit by subjecting his payments and benefits hereunder to the Payment Cap,
then the aggregate "parachute payments" paid to Executive or for his benefit in
excess of the Payment Cap shall be deemed for all purposes a loan to Executive
made on the date of receipt of such excess payments, which Executive shall have
an obligation to repay to the Company on demand, together with interest on such
amount at the applicable Federal rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the
Code) from the date of the payment hereunder to the date of repayment by the
Executive. If Executive receives reduced payments and benefits by reason of this
Article 6 and it is established pursuant to a Final Determination that Executive
could have received a greater amount without exceeding the Payment Cap, then the
Company shall promptly thereafter pay Executive the aggregate additional amount
which could have been paid without exceeding the Payment Cap, together with
interest on such amount at the applicable Federal rate (as defined in Section
1274(d) of the Code) from the original payment due date to the date of actual
payment by the Company.

         6.8 In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined by the
Accountants or pursuant to any proceeding or negotiations with the Internal
Revenue Service to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in
calculating the Tax Adjustment made, Executive shall repay to the Company, at
the time that the amount of such reduction in the Excise Tax is finally
determined, the portion of such prior Tax Adjustment that would not have been
paid if such Excise Tax had been applied in initially calculating such Tax
Adjustment, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided
in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event any portion of the Tax Adjustment to be refunded to the Company has been
paid to any Federal, state or local tax authority, repayment thereof shall not
be

<PAGE>

required until actual refund or credit of such portion has been made to
Executive, and interest payable to the Company shall not exceed interest
received or credited to Executive by such tax authority for the period it held
such portion. Executive and the Company shall mutually agree upon the course of
action to be pursued (and the method of allocating the expenses therof) if
Executive's good faith claim for refund or credit is denied.

         6.9 In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the
Accountants or pursuant to any proceeding or negotiations with the Internal
Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time
the Tax Adjustment is made (including, but not limited to, by reason of any
payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the
Tax Adjustment), the Company shall make an additional Tax Adjustment in respect
of such excess (plus any interest or penalty payable with respect to such
excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.

         6.10 Timing of Payment. Any Tax Adjustment (or portion thereof)
provided for in paragraph 6.4 above shall be paid to Executive not later than 10
business days following the payment of the Covered Payments; provided, however,
that if the amount of such Tax Adjustment (or portion thereof) cannot be finally
determined on or before the date on which payment is due, the Company shall pay
to Executive by such date an amount estimated in good faith by the Accountants
to be the minimum amount of such Tax Adjustment and shall pay the remainder of
such Tax Adjustment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined, but
in no event later than 45 calendar days after payment of the related Covered
Payment. In the event that the amount of the estimated Tax Adjustment exceeds
the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall
constitute a loan by the Company to Executive, payable on the fifth business day
after written demand by the Company for payment (together with interest at the
rate provided in Section (1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code.)

                                    Article 7
                                  Benefit Plan

         If (a) following a Potential Change in Control (provided a Change in
Control occurs within eighteen months thereafter) or (b) within a one and
one-half (1 1/2) year period after a Change In Control shall have occurred,
Executive's employment shall have terminated for any reason, including, but not
limited to, Termination for good Reason, except for death, voluntary retirement
or for cause, then, for one and one half (1 1/2) year after the Date of
Employment Termination, the Company shall maintain in full force and effect and
Executive shall continue to participate in all group life, health and accident
and disability insurance, and other employee benefit plans, programs and
arrangements in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to
the Date of Employment Termination, provided that continued participation is
possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans, programs and
arrangements. If participation is barred, or an applicable plan, program or
arrangement is discontinued or the benefits there-under are materially reduced,
the Company shall arrange to provide Executive with benefits substantially
similar to those which he was entitled to receive immediately prior to the


<PAGE>


Date of Employment Termination. At the end of the period of coverage above
provided for, Executive shall have the option to have assigned to him, at no
cost and with no apportionment of prepaid premiums, any assignable insurance
owned by the Company and relating specifically to him. The foregoing shall not
be deemed to apply to the EDO Corporation Employees Pension Plan, the EDO
Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan nor the EDO Corporation Employee
Investment Plan (401k).

                                    Article 8
                             No Mitigation Required

         Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit so provided for be
reduced by any compensation earned by him as the result of employment by another
employer after the Date of Employment Termination, or otherwise.

                                    Article 9

            Company having 25% or more of the total number of votes which may be
            cast for the election of directors of the Company (as the term
            "persons", "group" and "beneficial owner" are used in Sections
            13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), or

        (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
            beginning of such period constitute the Board cease for any reason
            to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or
            the nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, of each
            new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
            directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning
            of the period, or


        (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve any merger or other
            business combination, sale of assets or combination of the foregoing
            transaction not involving Executive in an interest other than in his
            capacity as Executive.

        9.2      "Potential Change in Control" shall mean an occurrence
                  in which:

        (i)         a Person hereafter becomes the Beneficial Owner of
                    securities of the Company having at least 5% of the total

        (ii)        any Person holds a 5% Beneficial ownership interest on the
                    date hereof and there occurs an increase in such Person's
                    Beneficial Ownership of such number of securities of the
                    Company as shall increase the Beneficial ownership by such
                    Person by an additional 1% of the total number of votes that
                    may be cast for the election of directors of the Company, or

        (iii)       a Person commences a tender offer for at least 25% of the

                    in Control occurring, or (v) any Person solicits proxies for
                    the election of Directors of the Company, or (vi) the Board
                    of Directors of the Company deems any other event or
                    occurrence to be a Potential Change in Control.

                                   Article 10
                              Termination for Cause

                    employment-related activities;

        |_|         for making materially false representations relied upon by
                    the Company in furnishing information to shareholders, a
                    stock exchange, or the Securities and Exchange Commission;

        |_|         for maintaining an undisclosed, unauthorized and material
                    conflict of interest in the discharge of duties owed by
                    Executive to the Company;

        |_|         for misconduct causing a serious violation by the Company of
                    state or federal laws;

        |_|         for theft of Company funds or corporate assets; or

        |_|         for conviction of a crime (excluding traffic violations or
                    similar misdemeanors).



                                   Article 11
                   Definition of "Termination for Good Reason"

        "Termination for Good Reason" shall mean termination of Executives
                    employment by Executive following or in connection with:

        (i)         without the express advance written consent of Executive,
                    (a) the assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent
                    in any substantial respect with the position, authority or
                    responsibilities of Executive immediately prior to the

                                   Article 12
                          Successors, Binding Agreement

         12,1 The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of
any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same
terms as Executive would be entitled hereunder if the Company had terminated
Executive's employment other than for Cause after a Change in Control occurring
at the time of succession, except that for purposes of implementing the
foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be
deemed the Date of Employment Termination.

         12.2 As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall include any successor
to this business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the
agreement provided for in paragraph 12.1 or which otherwise becomes bound by all
the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

         12.3 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable
by, Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributes, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die
while any amounts would still be payable if he had continues to live, all such
amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to
Executive's devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such
designee, to his estate.

                                   Article 13
                            Miscellaneous Provisions

         13.1 The Lump Sum Value of the Retirement Pension, if applicable, shall
be determined as of Executive's retirement at age 65, using the same methods and
assumptions used at the Date of Employment Termination for purposes of the EDO
Corporation Employees Pension Plan.

         13.2 Date of Employment Termination is the earlier of the date on which
Executive or the Company gives written notice of termination of Executive's
employment to the other party after the earlier to occur of a Potential Change
in Control or a Change in Control.

         13.3 Notice and all other communications provided for in this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered
or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first page of
this Agreement, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to
the attention of the corporate counsel, or to such other address as either party
may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. Notices of
change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

         13.4 No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing
signed by Executive and, on behalf of the Company, by such officer as may be
specifically designated by the Board.

         13.5 All benefits provided for in this Agreement are provided on an
unfunded basis and are not intended to meet the qualification requirements of
Section 401 of the Code. The Company shall not be deemed to be a trustee of any
amounts to be paid under this Agreement and shall not be required to segregate
any assets with respect to benefits under this Agreement. Such benefits shall be
payable solely from the general assets of the Company.

         13.6 Any failure at any time of either party to enforce any provision
of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such provision, or prejudice
the right of either party to enforce such provision at any subsequent time.

         13.7 No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or
implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either
party, which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.

         13.8 The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

         13.9 The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions
of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

         13.10 In the event of any action or proceeding between the parties
arising out of this agreement, the Company will pay the costs of any such legal
proceedings including, but not limited to, the costs of Executive for all
expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in such action or proceeding. Such
costs and expenses shall be advanced to Executive currently as reasonably
required to continue such action or proceeding.
