                             ECC INTERNATIONAL CORP.

                 NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT


         This Agreement is made between ECC International Corp., a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter referred to collectively with its subsidiaries as the
"Company"), and Melissa Van Valkenburgh (the "Employee").

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee have entered into an Employment
Agreement on the date hereof (the "Employment Agreement");

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the employment of
the Employee by the Company and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto,
the Employee and the Company agree as follows:

         1.       NON-COMPETITION.

         (a)      While the Employee is employed by the Company, for a period of
two years after the termination or cessation of such employment for any reason,
and for any period during which the Employee shall receive severance payments
and arrangements pursuant to Section 6 of the Employment Agreement, the Employee
will not directly or indirectly:

                           (i)      as an individual proprietor, partner,
                  stockholder, officer, employee, director, joint venturer,
                  investor, lender, consultant, or in any other capacity
                  whatsoever (other than as the holder of not more than one
                  percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock
                  of a publicly held company), develop, design, produce, market,
                  sell or render (or assist any other person in developing,
                  designing, producing, marketing, selling or rendering)
                  products or services competitive with those developed,
                  designed, produced, marketed, sold or rendered by the Training
                  and Simulation Business of the Company while the Employee was
                  employed by the Company; or

                           (ii)     solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to
                  divert or to take away, the business or patronage of any of
                  the clients, customers or accounts, or prospective clients,
                  customers or accounts, of the Company which were contacted,
                  solicited or served by the Employee while employed by the
                  Company.

         (b)      If the Employee violates the provisions of Section 1(a), the
Employee shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth in Section
1(a) until a period of two years has expired without any violation of such
provisions.

         2.       NON-SOLICITATION.

         (a)      While the Employee is employed by the Company, for a period of
two years after the termination or cessation of such employment for any reason,
and for any period during which the Employee shall receive severance payments
and arrangements pursuant to Section 6 of the Employment Agreement, the Employee
will not directly or knowingly indirectly recruit, solicit or hire any employee
of the Company, or induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to
terminate his/her employment with, or otherwise cease his/her relationship with,
the Company.

         (b)      If the Employee violates the provisions of Section 2(a), the
Employee shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth in Section
2(a) until a period of two years has expired without any violation of such
provisions.

         3.       MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a)      NO CONFLICT. The Employee represents that the execution and
performance by her of this Agreement does not and will not conflict with or
breach the terms of any other agreement by which the Employee is bound.

         (b)      NOT EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. The Employee acknowledges that this
Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment and does not imply that
the Company will continue her employment for any period of time.

         (c)      INTERPRETATION. If any restriction set forth in Sections 1 or
2 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it
extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or
in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the
maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it
may be enforceable.

         (d)      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement.

         (e)      WAIVER OF RIGHTS. No delay or omission by the Company in
exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or
any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion is
effective only in that instance and will not be construed as a bar to or waiver
of any right on any other occasion.

         (f)      EQUITABLE REMEDIES. The restrictions contained in this
Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the
Company and are considered by the Employee to be reasonable for such purpose.
The Employee agrees that any breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the
Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any
such breach, the Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to such other
remedies which may be available, shall be entitled to specific performance and
other injunctive relief.

         (g)      ASSIGNABILITY. The Company may assign this Agreement to any
other corporation or entity which acquires (whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company.

         (h)      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Any action,
suit, or other legal proceeding which is commenced to resolve any matter arising
under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in
a court of the State of Delaware (or, if appropriate, a federal court located
within Delaware), and the Company and the Employee each consents to the
jurisdiction of such a court.

         (i)      LEGAL FEES. In the event that legal proceedings are commenced
by the Employee against the Company, or by the Company against the Employee, in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the
party or parties which do not prevail in such proceedings shall pay the
reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses, including investigation
costs, incurred by the prevailing party in such proceedings.


         THE EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SHE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT
AND UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO ALL OF THE PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT.

         WITNESS our hands and seals:
