                                    RECITALS

        WHEREAS, that in connection with the purchase by L-3 Communications
Corporation ("L-3") of an equity interest in the Company, the Company and the
Employee desire to terminate the employment agreement, dated April 25, 1997 (the
"Existing Agreement"), by and between the Company and the Employee, and enter
into a new agreement for the Employee's services providing for all terms and

to protect the Company's legitimate business interests; and

        WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue the employment of the Employee
with the Company on the terms and conditions hereof, and the obligations of the

10, 2000 (the "Purchase Agreement"), between the Company and the Employee, were
conditioned upon the Employee's agreement to be employed by the Company pursuant
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 6), and the

        NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Employee, in consideration of the
premises, the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Section 2), the Employee shall serve on a full-time basis and devote his entire
working time, attention and


<PAGE>



energy exclusively to the Company as Senior Vice President--Administration. The
Employee shall report to the individual acting as or appointed as the President
of the Company. The Employee will perform such executive, managerial and
administrative duties as determined by the President of the Company, will use
his best efforts to promote the interests of the Company, and will comply with
all lawful directives, policies, procedures and directions as may from time to
time be given or determined by the Company.

        1.3. Outside Activities. The Employee shall not engage in any activity
or investment if such activity or investment interferes with the performance of
his duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee may engage in
charitable, educational, civic and similar activities and continue to be a
member of boards of directors of other businesses and charitable organizations,
and become a member of boards of directors of other businesses and charitable
organizations, subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, to
the extent that such activities do not adversely affect the performance of his
duties hereunder.

        1.4. Other Agreements Superseded. This Employment Agreement supersedes
and replaces all prior agreements and understandings (including the Existing
Agreement), between the Company and the Employee, whether written or oral,
relating to the subject matter hereof, and all such prior agreements and
understandings shall be null and void and without further effect as of the date
hereof.

     SECTION 2. EMPLOYMENT TERM. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, the
term of this Agreement shall be for a period commencing on the date hereof and

year (less appropriate deductions) (the "Base Salary"). The Base Salary shall be
payable in accordance with the ordinary payroll practices of the Company. During
the Employment Term, the Company shall, in good faith,


<PAGE>


review the Base Salary in accordance with the Company's customary procedures and
practices regarding the salaries of similarly situated employees and may, if
determined by the Company to be appropriate, increase the Base Salary following
such review (it being understood and agreed by the Employee that the Company

so long as the Company provides the Employee with employee benefits similar to
those provided to other comparably situated Company employees.

        3.3. Withholding. All payments due to the Employee hereunder shall be

hereto as Schedule A.

        3.5 Annual Bonus. The Employee shall be entitled to participate in any

Committee thereof, in its sole discretion.

establish for senior officers and to preserve any deductions for Federal income
taxation purposes to which the Company may be entitled.

        SECTION 5. CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLIC STATEMENTS

        5.1. Confidential and Proprietary Information. (a) In addition to the
confidential and proprietary information that the Employee heretofore developed,
conceived, learned or became aware of as an employee, proprietor, owner,
director, officer or stockholder of LogiMetrics (the "Prior Trade Secrets"), the
Company and its affiliates may, pursuant to the Employee's employment hereunder,
provide to him and confide in him additional confidential and proprietary
information (collectively, the "Additional Trade Secrets"), including without
limitation: (i) business methods and systems, techniques and methods of
operation developed by the Company or its affiliates and which the Employee
recognizes to be unique assets of the business of the Company and its
affiliates; (ii) any sales prospects, customer lists, products, research or data
of any kind; (iii) any information relating to strategic plans, sales costs,
profits or the financial condition of the Company, its affiliates or any of
their customers or prospective customers, which is not generally known to the
public; or (iv) computer programs and software, including without limitation
source code, object code and data. All the Prior Trade Secrets and all the
Additional Trade Secrets are herein sometimes referred to collectively as "Trade
Secrets". The Employee shall not, either during or at any time after the
termination of his employment with the Company, directly or indirectly, in any
manner utilize or disclose any Trade Secrets to any individual, firm,
corporation, company, association or other entity without the prior consent of
the Company (unless legally compelled to do so, but subject to the provisions of
Section 5.1(b)). The term "Trade Secrets", however, does not include
information, knowledge or factual data that: (A) becomes part of the public
knowledge or literature other than by reason of any inaction or action of the
Employee; or (B) was disclosed to the Employee without restriction by a third
party having the right to disclose the same. The Employee further covenants and
agrees that he will promptly deliver to the Company all tangible evidence of
Trade Secrets, prior to or at the termination of the Employee's employment.

        (b) If the Employee becomes legally compelled (by deposition,
interrogatory,


<PAGE>


request for documents, order, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar
process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental body)
to disclose any Intellectual Property (as defined below) of the Company or any
of its affiliates, then the Employee will give prompt prior written notice of
such requirement to the Company so that the Company or any of its affiliates may
seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with
the terms of this Agreement. If such protective order or other remedy is not
obtained, and irrespective of whether or not compliance with the provisions
hereof is waived, then it is agreed that only that portion of the Intellectual
Property of the Company or any of its affiliates, which the Employee is advised
in writing by the Employee's counsel is legally required to be disclosed, will
be disclosed by the Employee, and reasonable efforts will be made by him to
obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such portion of
such Intellectual Property.

        5.2. Trade Secrets

        (a) The Employee agrees that any Trade Secret, invention, improvement,
patent, patent application or writing, and any program, method, process, system
or novel technique (whether or not capable of being trademarked, copyrighted or
patented) (collectively, "Intellectual Property"), conceived, devised,
developed, owned or otherwise obtained by him, whether solely or jointly with
others, either (i) as an employee, proprietor, owner, officer, director or
stockholder of LogiMetrics prior to the date hereof, or (ii) during the
Employment Term relating to the business of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, shall in each and every case be and become the property of the
Company. The Employee agrees to give the Company prompt notice of his
conception, invention, authorship, development or acquisition of any
Intellectual Property and, without additional consideration, to execute such
instruments of transfer, assignment, conveyance or confirmation and such other
documents, and to do all appropriate lawful acts, as may be requested by the
Company to transfer, assign, confirm, and perfect in the Company or its
affiliates all legally protectable rights in any Intellectual Property
throughout the world.

        (b) The Employee hereby assigns and conveys to and confirms in the
Company the entire right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual
Property, conceived, devised, developed, owned or otherwise obtained by him,
whether solely or jointly with others, as an employee, proprietor, owner,
officer, director or stockholder of LogiMetrics or any of its


<PAGE>


subsidiaries (or any predecessor company) prior to the date hereof (the "Prior
Intellectual Property"), or on or after the date hereof and through the end of
the Employment Term relating to the business of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (the "Future Intellectual Property") and every priority right that
is or may be predicated upon or arises from any of the Prior Intellectual
Property or any of the Future Intellectual Property.

        (c) The Employee, upon the Company's reasonable request and at its
expense, but without additional consideration to the Employee, shall execute
such instruments of transfer, assignment, conveyance or confirmation and such
other documents, and shall do all appropriate lawful acts, as may be requested
by the Company to transfer, assign, confirm and perfect in the Company or its
affiliates all legally protectable rights in any Intellectual Property, whether
Prior Intellectual Property or Future Intellectual Property, throughout the
world.

        (d) The Employee represents and warrants that no entity in which the
Employee has an equity interest has any right, title or interest in and to the
Company's Intellectual Property. Without limiting the rights or remedies of the
Company in the event of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty,
the Employee will cause any such entity in which the Employee has an equity
interest to execute such instruments of transfer, assignment, conveyance or
confirmation and such other documents, and shall do all appropriate lawful acts,
as may be requested by the Company to transfer, assign, confirm and perfect in
the Company or its affiliates all legally protectable rights in any Intellectual
Property, whether Prior Intellectual Property or Future Intellectual Property,
throughout the world.

        5.3. Prohibited Public Statements. During the Employment Term, the
Employee shall not make any public statement reflecting adversely on the
Company, its affiliates or their business prospects, except for such statements
which the Employee is required to make by law.

        SECTION 6. NON-COMPETE. In further consideration of the Company's
covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Employee agrees to
abide by the terms and conditions contained in this Section 6. The Employee
further acknowledges the sufficiency and receipt of the consideration given in
this Agreement for purposes of enforcing the non-compete provisions contained in
this Section 6.

        During the Non-Competition Period (as defined below), Employee will not,
and


<PAGE>


will cause his affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, design, manufacture,
market or sell products or provide services which are competitive to those
products manufactured and sold by LogiMetrics during the Employment Term or at
the end of the Employment Term or those services provided by LogiMetrics to its
customers (including improvements or extensions of such products or services)
("Competitive Products and Services").

        During the Non-Competition Period, the Employee will not, and will cause
his affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, induce or solicit, or aid or
assist any person or entity to induce or solicit, any employees, salespersons,
agents, consultants, distributors, representatives, advisors, customers or
suppliers of Buyer or the Business to terminate, curtail or otherwise limit
their employment by or business relationship with Buyer or the Business.

        As used herein, "Non-Competition Period" shall mean the period beginning
on the date hereof and ending on the 180th day following the last day of the
Employment Term.

        The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section 6 are
reasonable. If a court determines, however, that any provision of this Section 6
is unreasonable, either in period of time, geographical area or otherwise, then
the parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section 6 should be
interpreted and enforced to the maximum extent which such court deems
reasonable.

        SECTION 7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the full and
complete understanding and agreement of the Employee and the Company respecting
the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings and
agreements, oral or written, express or implied, respecting the Employee's
employment with the Company.

of reference only and are not to be considered in the interpretation of the

            ----                             ----------------------
            July 10, 2001                    33 1/3%

<PAGE>


     (d) In the event (i) the Optionee is terminated by the Corporation for
reasons other than Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement, dated the date
hereof, between the Optionee and the Corporation (the "Employment Agreement"),
(ii) the Optionee terminates his employment with the Corporation for Good Reason
(as defined in the Employment Agreement), or (iii) of a Change of Control (as
defined below) of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Option shall
immediately vest 100% and become exercisable in its entirety. As used herein, a
"Change of Control" shall be deemed to occur at any time after the date hereof
when the number of representatives designated by L-3 to the Board no longer
constitutes a majority of the Board as then constituted.

2.   Method of Exercise

     The Option may be exercised from time to time by giving written notice
thereof to the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, together with payment
in full for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased. The date of such
exercise shall be the date on which the Corporation receives such notice. Such
notice shall state the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Option is
exercised. The purchase price of any shares purchased upon the exercise of the
Option or any portion thereof shall be paid in full at the time of exercise of
the Option by certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the
Corporation or, at the option of the Optionee, by (i) shares of Common Stock
which have been held by the Optionee for at least six (6) months, or by a
combination of checks and such shares of Common Stock, or (ii) election of the
Optionee or his Permitted Transferee (as defined in Section 4) to have the
Corporation withhold from the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
issued upon exercise of the Option that number of shares having a Fair Market
Value (as defined below) equal to the aggregate Option Price for those shares of
Common Stock to which such election is made. If any portion of the purchase
price is paid in shares of Common Stock, those shares shall be valued at their
then Fair Market Value (as defined below). The Option may not be exercised for a
fraction of a share of Common Stock. For purposes of this Agreement, "Fair
Market Value" shall mean the average per share fair market value of the Common
Stock during the 15-day period prior to the relevant date of exercise by the
Optionee or his Permitted Transferee. If on any date relevant for purpose of
calculating the Fair Market Value the Common Stock is listed on a stock exchange
or is quoted on the automated quotation system of NASDAQ, the fair market value
of the Common Stock for such date shall be the closing sale price (or if such
price is unavailable, the average of the high bid price and the low asked price)
on such date. If no such closing sale price or bid and asked prices are
available, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board
in accordance with generally accepted valuation principles and such other
factors as the Board reasonably deems relevant.

3.   Termination of the Option

     (a) The Option, to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate ten
(10) years from the date of grant of the Option, unless otherwise terminated
earlier pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3(b) through 3(d) hereof.


                                      -2-




<PAGE>


     (b) If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation for any
reason other than for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), death or
disability, then the Option may be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent
exercisable on the date of termination, at any time within three (3) months
after the date of termination. If the Optionee's service as an employee is
terminated for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the entire Option
(including the vested and unvested portions thereof, to the extent not
previously exercised) immediately shall terminate and shall be forfeited.

     (c) If the Optionee becomes disabled within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, while in the employ of the
Corporation, then the Option may be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent
exercisable on the date of termination due to such disability, at any time
within one (1) year after the date of termination due to such disability.

     (d) If the Optionee dies while an employee of the Corporation, then the
Option may be exercised by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights
shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, to the extent
exercisable on the date of death, at any time within one (1) year after the date
of death.

4.   Rights Prior to Exercise

     The Option is nontransferable and may not be sold, assigned, pledged or
encumbered (by operation of law or otherwise) by the Optionee, except by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of his death; provided
however that, upon request by the Optionee, the Corporation may permit the
Optionee to transfer the Option to a family member or a trust created for the
benefit of family members of the Optionee (each, a "Permitted Transferee") (such
permission not to be unreasonably withheld). During the Optionee's lifetime, the
Option is only exercisable by the Optionee and any Permitted Transferees.
Neither the Optionee nor any Permitted Transferee shall have any rights as a
holder of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option until exercise of the
Option, payment of the Option Price, and the issuance of a certificate
evidencing shares of Common Stock.

5.   Restrictions on Disposition

     All shares of Common Stock acquired by the Optionee or any Permitted
Transferee pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the restrictions on
sale, encumbrance and other disposition provided by Federal or state law. As a
condition precedent to receiving the shares of Common Stock covered by this
Agreement, the Optionee or any Permitted Transferee may be required by the
Corporation to submit a letter to the Corporation stating that the shares of
Common Stock are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the
distribution thereof. The Corporation shall not be obligated to sell or issue
any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement unless, on the date of
sale and issuance thereof, the shares of Common Stock are either registered
under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or are exempt
from registration thereunder. All shares of Common Stock issued to the Optionee
or any Permitted Transferee pursuant to this Agreement may


                                      -3-




<PAGE>

bear a restrictive legend summarizing any restrictions on transferability
applicable thereto, including those imposed by Federal and state securities
laws.

6.   Reservation of Shares of Common Stock

     The Corporation, during the term of the Option, will at all times reserve
and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as may be exercisable
pursuant to the Option.

7.   Tax Withholding

     The exercise of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Option is
subject to the condition that, if at any time the Corporation shall determine,
in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding
liabilities under any state or Federal law is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, such exercise or the delivery of shares
pursuant thereto, then, in such event, the exercise of the Option or any portion
thereof shall not be effective unless and until such withholding tax or other
withholding liabilities shall have been satisfied in a manner acceptable to the
Corporation.

8.   Services as an Employee

     Nothing in this Agreement gives the Optionee any right to continued service
as an employee of the Corporation or limits in any way the right of the
Corporation, its directors or its stockholders to terminate that service.

9.   Certain Adjustments

     In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, including the Reverse Stock Split
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement), stock combination, other change in
corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, or spin-off or other
distribution of assets to stockholders, an appropriate adjustment shall be made
to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, the Option Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this
Agreement.

10.  Miscellaneous Provisions

     (a) Additional Documents. The Optionee hereby agrees to execute and deliver
such further documents and instruments as may be necessary or as may reasonably
be requested in order to effectuate fully the purposes, terms and conditions of
