                          CONSENT AND SECOND AMENDMENT
             TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 364 DAY CREDIT AGREEMENT


         This CONSENT AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
364 DAY CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "AMENDMENT") is dated as of February 25, 2002 and
entered into by and among L-3 COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
(the "BORROWER") which is wholly owned by L-3 COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC., a
Delaware corporation ("HOLDINGS"), the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement
referred to below on the date hereof (the "LENDERS"), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.,
("BOA"), as administrative agent for the Agents (as defined below) and the
Lenders (in such capacity, the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT"), LEHMAN COMMERCIAL PAPER,
INC. ("LCPI") as syndication agent and documentation agent (in such capacity,
the "SYNDICATION AGENT" and the "DOCUMENTATION AGENT") and certain financial
institutions named as co-agents. All capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the same meanings herein as set forth in the Credit
Agreement (as defined below).


                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Syndication Agent, the
Documentation Agent, the Administrative Agent and certain other parties have
entered into the Second Amended and Restated 364 Day Credit Agreement dated as
of May 16, 2001 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from
time to time, the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"); and

         WHEREAS, the Borrower desires that the Lenders consent to an extension
of the Revolving 364 Day Termination Date, provide a limited waiver of
compliance with Section 7.10(a) of the Credit Agreement and amend certain
provisions of the Credit Agreement to, inter alia, (i) allow the Borrower to
refinance certain subordinated debt, (ii) facilitate the extension of the
Revolving 364 Day Termination Date, (iii) increase the amount of certain
permitted Indebtedness, (iv) amend the Debt Ratio, and (v) make certain other
amendments.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements,
provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         SECTION 1. CONSENT AND WAIVER FOR EXTENSION.

         1.1 Extension of Revolving 364 Day Termination Date. Borrower has
requested that each Lender consent to the extension of the Revolving 364 Day
Termination Date for an additional 364 day period commencing on the "Extension
Effective Date" (as defined below) (the "REQUESTED EXTENSION"). The Borrower has
also requested that each Lender waive the requirements in subsection 2.5(a) of
the Credit Agreement that (i) the Borrower's request for the proposed Requested
Extension be made no earlier than 60 days prior to the scheduled Revolving

<PAGE>

364 Day Termination Date (the "NOTICE LIMITATION"), (ii) each Lender shall
advise the Administrative Agent and the Borrower whether such Lender consents to
the Requested Extension not later than 30 days after receipt of notice of the
proposed Requested Extension (the "RESPONSE PERIOD") and (iii) the Borrower
provide the Administrative Agent with no less than 5 day's prior written notice
(the "FIVE DAY PERIOD") of the Borrower's election to exercise the Extension
Option with only those Lenders constituting Extending Lenders in accordance with
subsection 2.5(a) of the Credit Agreement (the "EXERCISE NOTICE"). In addition,
the Borrower has been advised by certain Lender(s) (each a "NONCONSENTING
LENDER") that such Nonconsenting Lender(s) do not desire to consent to the
Requested Extension. Solely in connection with the Requested Extension, Borrower
requests that the 5 Business Day prior notice requirement for replacing such a
Nonconsenting Lender in subsection 2.17 of the Credit Agreement be waived (the
"NONCONSENTING LENDER NOTICE PERIOD"). Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent to this Amendment set forth in Section 4 hereof, (i) each
Lender executing this Amendment hereby consents to the Requested Extension and
agrees to waive the Notice Limitation, the Response Period and the Nonconsenting
Lender Notice Period solely with respect to the Requested Extension and (ii)
each Lender agrees to waive the delivery of the Exercise Notice in the Five Day
Period, provided that such Exercise Notice shall be delivered to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the Extension Effective Date.

         SECTION 2. LIMITED WAIVER FOR EQUITY PROCEEDS APPLICATION. Borrower has
advised the Lenders that Borrower will issue Additional Subordinated
Indebtedness not to exceed $500,000,000 in principal amount at or about the time
of the consummation of the AIS Acquisition by Borrower to finance a portion of
the purchase price of the AIS Acquisition (the "SUBORDINATED BRIDGE
INDEBTEDNESS"). Borrower has advised the Lenders that Borrower desires to
refund, refinance and/or repay the Subordinated Bridge Indebtedness with the
proceeds of an issuance of Additional Subordinated Indebtedness and/or an
issuance of common stock or preferred stock of Holdings which issuance of such
preferred stock requires no cash redemption or other principal payment prior to
the date that is one year after the "Termination Date" (as such term is defined
in the Facility A Credit Agreement) (any such issuance of common or preferred
stock, a "SPECIAL EQUITY ISSUANCE"). To permit Borrower to repay the
Subordinated Bridge Indebtedness with the proceeds of a Special Equity Issuance,
Borrower requests that the Required Lenders grant a limited waiver of compliance
with the terms of Section 7.10(a) for such purpose. Subject to the satisfaction
of each of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 5 of this
Amendment, the Required Lenders hereby waive compliance with Section 7.10(a) of
the Credit Agreement solely for the purpose of permitting Borrower to repay the
Subordinated Bridge Indebtedness with the proceeds of a Special Equity Issuance.
The foregoing waiver shall be limited as written and shall not be deemed to
operate as a waiver of compliance with Section 7.10(a) for any Additional
Subordinated Indebtedness issued to refund, refinance and/or repay the
Subordinated Bridge Indebtedness or for any other purpose.

         SECTION 3. GENERAL AMENDMENTS. Subject to the satisfaction of each of
the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 5 of this Amendment, the
Borrower and the Required Lenders hereby agree to amend the Credit Agreement as
follows:

         3.1 The following defined terms are hereby added to Subsection 1.1 of
the Credit Agreement in proper alphabetical order:

         period of four consecutive fiscal quarters occurring after the AIS
         Acquisition (each, a "Reference Period") pursuant to any determination
         of the Debt Ratio, Consolidated EBITDA for such Reference Period shall
         be calculated after giving pro forma effect to (i) exclude from costs
         the positive difference, if any, between (A) the amount of annual

         adjustment included in the historical results of operations associated
         with the business comprising the AIS Acquisition within the 12 months
         prior to the effective date of the AIS Acquisition for accounting
         purposes, if such contract EAC, unrecoverable inventories or

         excluded from the business comprising the AIS Acquisition, and (iii)
         exclude any losses or gains, up to a maximum amount of $16,000,000,
         associated with any contract EAC, unrecoverable inventories and
         uncollectable receivables adjustment included in the historical results
         of operations associated with the Sea Sentinel contract within the 12
         months prior to the effective date of the AIS Acquisition for

         Consolidated EBITDA are demonstrated by appropriate footnotes to the
         audited financial statements of the business comprising the AIS
         Acquisition or appropriate schedules and other materials prepared and
         certified by the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent no
         more than 15 days after the completion of the audit of the financial
         statements of the business comprising the AIS Acquisition for the
         fiscal year ended prior to the consummation of AIS Acquisition."

other Credit Documents.

         7.2 Fees and Expenses. The Borrower acknowledges that all costs, fees
