                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                 (SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT-DIRECT REPORT TO CEO)

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made in Vienna, Virginia as of _________________
by and between ______________________________________________________________
(hereinafter referred to in the first person or as "Employee") and GRC 
International, Inc., a corporation with its principal offices at 1900 Gallows 
Road, Vienna, Virginia 22182 ("Company"). The term "Company" shall also include 
any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. As a condition to, and in 
consideration of, the Company's employment of Employee, the parties mutually 
agree as follows:

1.   DUTIES.
     ------

(a)  I agree to work for the Company in the capacity set forth in Item 1(a) of 
Exhibit A attached hereto. My duties will include all of those generally 
associated with said position, subject to the direction and assignment of the 
Company's Board of Directors. The duties assigned to me shall be performed at 
the place of employment specified in Item 1(b) of Exhibit A or at such other 
location as the Board of Directors may determine is in the best interest of the 
Company. All of my working time and energies shall be devoted to the foregoing 
duties. I will inform the Company, in writing, if I engage in any outside 
business activity, and I will obtain the prior written approval of the Company, 
if I engage in any outside business activity which (i) requires the use of 
skills for which I was hired by the Company or the use of skills attained during
the course of my employment with the Company or (ii) would, in the opinion of 
the Company, compete with or conflict with my employment with the Company. 
While employed by the Company, absent the expressed, prior written authorization
of the Company's Board of Directors, I will not, directly or indirectly, engage 
in any activity competitive with or adverse to the Company's business or 
welfare, whether alone, as a partner of any partnership or joint venture or as 
an officer, director, employee, or holder of 5% or more of any class of stock, 
of any corporation.

(b)  I agree that for a period of one year immediately following termination 
(voluntary or otherwise) of my employment with the Company, I will not interfere
with the business of the Company by inducing an employee to leave the Company's 
employment, by inducing a consultant to sever the consultant's relationship with
the Company, or by inducing a customer to sever the customer's relationship 
with the Company.

(c)  This Agreement cancels and replaces in their entirety any and all previous 
employment agreements entered into between me and the Company or any of its 
subsidiaries.

2.   INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
     ---------------------

(a)  In this Agreement, (i) "Intellectual Property" means any patent, trademark,
copyright, semiconductor mask right, trade secret, invention, discovery, 
design, idea or improvement (whether or not any of the foregoing are patentable,
protectable by copyright, or otherwise protectable), and (ii) the word "made", 
when used with "Intellectual Property", means made, devised, developed, 
conceived or reduced to practice. Exhibit B to this Agreement contains a 
complete list of all Intellectual Property I consider proprietary to me, and, 
during my employment with the Company, I agree to update Exhibit B from time to 
time as may be necessary to keep it current. I will not incorporate or permit to
be incorporated into any work performed for or on behalf of the Company any 
Intellectual Property proprietary to me or any third party.

(b)  I will disclose to the Company all Intellectual Property made by me, alone 
or with others, during any period of employment with the Company. All such 
disclosures shall be reviewed by the Company in confidence to determine any 
issues which may arise.

<PAGE>
 
(c)    I will assign to the Company all right, title and interest in and to all 
Intellectual Property made at any time by me alone or with others during or 
after my employment with the Company, if such Intellectual Property was made 
using Company equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information, or 
such Intellectual Property either (i) relates at the time of conception or 
reduction to practice of the invention to the Company's business, or actual or 
demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company; or (ii) results
from any work performed by me for the Company. All Intellectual Property subject
to this paragraph shall remain Company property whether or not so disclosed or 
assigned to the Company. I will cooperate fully with the Company during and 
after employment in accomplishing the intent of this provision and execute such 
instruments and documents reasonably requested by the Company, in order to more 
fully vest in the Company all ownership rights in the Intellectual Property. In 
addition, I irrevocably appoint the Company and each of its officers as my agent
and attorney-in-fact to act in my name and stead to execute and file any 
documents and to do all other lawfully permitted actions to further the 
prosecution, issuance and enforcement of patents, copyrights and other 
proprietary rights with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered 
by me.

(d)    The provisions of the foregoing Section 2(c) shall not apply to an 
invention developed by me entirely on my own time without using Company 
equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those 
inventions that either (i) relate at the time of conception or reduction to 
practice of the invention to the Company's business, or actual or demonstrably 
anticipated research or development of the Company; or (ii) result from any work
performed by me for the Company.

3.     PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. I understand that in the course of my employment
       -----------------------
with the Company, I will be making use of, acquiring or adding to proprietary
and/or confidential information and materials of the Company or of other parties
("Proprietary Information"). I will not disclose or use any Proprietary
Information either during or after my employment with the Company, except to the
extent expressly authorized in writing by an officer of the Company. The
following are some examples of Proprietary Information, even if not marked or
identified as such:

(i)    Computer software of all kinds, source and object codes, algorithms,
coding sheets, compilers, assemblers, design concepts, routines and subroutines,
and all related documents and materials;

(ii)   Business practices, marketing techniques, mailing lists, purchasing 
information, price lists, pricing policies, quoting procedures, customer and 
prospective customer lists and information, and all materials or information 
relating to the manner in which the Company does business.

(iii)  Discoveries, concepts and ideas, whether or not patentable, protectable 
by copyright, or otherwise protectable, trade secrets, "know-how," production 
processes, research and development activities, and information on products or 
programs;

(iv)   Financial information, cost structure, bidding strategy, salary 
structure, and such other information not in the public domain as may be helpful
to competitors or harmful to the Company, its customers or employees.

(v)    Any other information, materials or documents related to the business or 
activities of the Company which are not generally known to others engaged in 
similar businesses or activities; and

(vi)   All ideas which are derived from my access to or knowledge of any of the 
above.

4.     CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. I have read and understood the Company's Corporate
       ---------------------
Standards of Conduct, and while employed by the Company, I agree to abide by 
said Standards of Conduct, as the same may be amended from time to time, and to 
complete the Company's Ethics Questionnaire as required by the Company from time
to time. Except as fully disclosed in a document attached to this agreement, I 
am not a party to any agreement or understanding with any other person or 
business, nor am

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
I subject to any other legal restriction or obligation, which would in any way 
prohibit, impede or hinder my employment with the Company or the performance of 
my duties in the course of such employment.

5.   COMPENSATION.
     ------------

(a)  During the term of my employment hereunder, the Company shall pay me the 
annual salary set forth in Exhibit A, Item 3(a) ("Gross Annual Salary").

(b)  In addition to the Gross Annual Salary, I shall be entitled to receive the 
additional compensation, if any, specified in Exhibit A, Item 3(b) ("Additional 
Compensation").

6.   DISABILITY.  If I am unable to fulfill the duties of my position by reason 
     ----------
of any illness, incapacity or disability, my salary shall be payable for only 90
days following the onset of such illness, incapacity or disability, provided, 
however, that if I (i) have applied for insurance benefits under the Company's 
long-term disability policy during said 90 day period, and (ii) have not yet 
begun to receive payments under said policy during said 90 day period, then my 
salary shall continue to be payable for up to 180 days following the onset of 
such illness, incapacity or disability until I begin to receive such payments. 
During the foregoing 90 day period (or 180 day period, if applicable), my 
salary, to the extent not covered by the Company's short-term disability 
benefits, shall be paid through the use of my sick leave, if any, accumulated 
prior to January 1, 1994, but if such sick leave is or becomes exhausted, my 
salary shall nevertheless be paid for the 90 day period (or 180 day period, if 
applicable). If I shall return to full employment and full discharge of my 
duties during the term of this Agreement, full compensation shall be 
prospectively reinstated for any remaining term of this Agreement.

7.   TERMINATION AND SEVERANCE.
     -------------------------

(a)  Subject to Section 7(f) regarding a Change of Control, this Agreement may 
be terminated by either party without Cause on six (6) months written notice to 
the other party. Subject to Section 7(f) regarding a Change of Control, this 
Agreement may be terminated by the Company immediately for Cause by written 
notice to me. For purposes of this Section 7, "Cause" for termination shall 
exist in the event of my dishonesty, chronic absenteeism, conviction of a 
felony, conviction of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or material 
breach of this Agreement.

(b)  To the maximum extent permitted by law, I hereby expressly authorize the 
Company in advance upon my termination to deduct from my final paycheck(s) and 
from my paid time off (PTO) check all amounts I owe the Company (including but 
not limited to repayment of advances, loans or any other obligations).

(c)  Upon termination of employment, I will execute and comply with the Employee
Termination Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C, and deliver to the Company
all notes, data, tapes, lists, reference materials, sketches, drawings, 
memoranda, records and other documents which are in my possession or control 
belonging to the Company or relating to its business.

(d)  Termination of this Agreement will not relieve me from my obligations under
Sections 1(b), 2 and 3 of this Agreement, which, by their respective terms, 
continue beyond the termination of this Agreement.

(e)  In the event of my death, this Agreement will terminate and all accrued and
unpaid compensation and expenses, less all amounts I owe the Company (including 
but not limited to repayment of advances, loans or any other obligations), will 
be payable to my estate.

(f)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at 
any time during the thirty (30) month period following a Change of Control (as 
hereinafter defined),

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
     (i)   if the Company (A) without Cause, terminates my employment or
           terminates this Agreement or gives me notice of either of such
           terminations, (B) materially diminishes my level of responsibility or
           position in the Company, (C) materially diminishes my salary or my
           bonus potential, (D) fails to provide me with any material benefit or
           prerequisite provided to any other executive in a comparable
           position, (E) requires me to relocate to an office more than 25 miles
           from my place of employment immediately prior to the Change of
           Control, (F) materially breaches this Agreement (including but not
           limited to the terms set forth on Exhibit A hereto) in any other way,
           then I shall receive, in addition to any other compensation provided
           for in this Agreement, a lump-sum severance payment on the date of
           termination of my employment in an amount equal to two (2) times the
           Gross Annual Salary, less any income, excise, employment or other tax
           withholdings which the Company is required by law to deduct
           therefrom; and

     (ii)  if the Company takes any action described in clauses (A) through (F)
           of paragraph (f)(i) above, then the Company shall provide me with the
           same level of employee benefits I have been receiving immediately
           prior to such action, and such benefits shall be provided until the
           earlier of (A) such time as I obtain new benefits coverage by reason
           of new employment, or (B) the two (2) year anniversary of my
           termination of employment with the Company; and

     (iii) if the Company takes any action described in clauses (A) through (F)
           of paragraph (f)(i) above and fails to provide me with any benefit
           required under paragraph (f)(i) or (f)(ii) above, then the Company
           shall reimburse me for any legal fees and expenses I incur in
           successfully enforcing my rights under either or both of said
           paragraphs.

(g)  For purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control shall mean the 
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in any one of the following paragraphs:

Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as modified and used in Sections 
13(d) and 14(d) thereof, except that neither (A) the Company or any of its 
                         ------
subsidiaries, (B) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an 
employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (C) an

is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not 
including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities 
acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 25% or more 
of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or

     (ii)  during any period of up to two consecutive years (not including any 
period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the 
beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the 
"Board") and any new director (other than a director designated by a Person who 
has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described
in clause (i), (iii) or (iv) of this paragraph) whose election by the Board or 
nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of 
at least two thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were 
directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for 
election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a 
majority thereof; or

outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving
entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary
holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, at least 75%
of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such


                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or
(B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the
Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person acquires more than 50% of
the combined voting power of the Company's than outstanding securities; or

     (iv)  the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete 
liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the 
Company of all or substantially all the Company's assets.

(h)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event than 
any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Employee in connection 
with a Change of Control or the termination of the Employee's employment 
(whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement 
or agreement with the Company, any Person whose actions result in a Change of 
Control or any person affiliated with the Company or such Person) (all such
payments and benefits, including the Severance Benefits, being hereinafter
called the "Total Benefits"), would be subject (in whole or in part) to the
excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), then the Severance Benefits shall be
reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Benefits is

without deduction (but after deduction of the net amount of federal, state and
local income taxes and FICA and Medicare taxes on such Total Benefits), over
(ii) the amount of Excise Tax to which the Employee would be subject in respect
of such Total Benefits. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to
which the Total Benefits will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of
the Total Benefits the receipt or enjoyment of which the Employee shall have
effectively waived in writing prior to the Employee's date of termination of
employment shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Total Benefits
whall be taken into account which in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the
Company does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(2) of the Code, and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any
deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Benefits shall be determined
by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with the principles of
Sections 280G(d)(3) and (d)(4) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 7(h),
the term "Severance Benefits" means the benefits provided for by Section 7(f)

(c)  I understand and agree that the Company will suffer irreparable harm if I
breach any of my obligations under this agreement and that monetary damages may
be inadequate to compensate for such breach. Accordingly, in the event of a
breach or threatened breach by me, the Company, in addition to and not in
limitation of any other rights, remedies or damages available to it at law or in
equity or otherwise, shall be entitled to a injunctive relief preventing any

covenants described in this agreement, and any representation, promise, 
agreement or understanding, written or oral, not contained in this agreement

provision or a waiver of the same provision at any other time.

     ------------
be unenforceable, invalid or illegal shall be deemed stricken from this 
agreement and all remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

13.  REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS.  I have carefully read and considered the 
     ------------------------------
provisions of this agreement and, having done so, agree that the restrictions 
set forth in this agreement are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required 
for the Company's protection.  This agreement shall be construed fairly as to 
all parties and not in favor of or against any party, regardless of which party 
prepared this agreement.  In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any 
part of his agreement shall be held to be invalid or enforceable, the remaining
parts of the agreement shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable
as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included in the
agreement. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable with respect to
particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect
in all other circumstances.

                       AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amendment ("Amendment") to Employment Agreement is made in Vienna, Virginia
as of _________________ by and between _________________ (hereinafter referred 
to in the first person or as "Employee") and GRC International, Inc., a 
corporation with its principal offices at 1900 Gallows Road, Vienna, Virginia 
22182 ("Company"). Any term used in this Amendment which is not otherwise 
defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Employment 
Agreement.

                                  BACKGROUND
                                  ----------

A.  Employee and the Company are parties to an Employment Agreement dated 
    __________________ ("Employment Agreement").
 
B.  The Company has announced that it has retained Smith Barney, Inc. as its
    financial advisor to advise the Company with respect to a full range of
    financial and strategic options, which could include, among other things, a
    merger or acquisition of the entire Company.

C.  In addition to and without prejudice to, the benefits provided to Employee
    in the Employment Agreement, the Company desires to amend the Employment
    Agreement to provide a special "stay-put" payment to Employee to induce
    Employee to remain an employee of the Company, in spite of the uncertainties
    created in the present environment. The aggregate amount of this special
    "stay-put" payment shall be $_____________________________.

1.  "STAY-PUT" PAYMENT.
    ------------------

(a) If, during the period beginning on the date first set forth in this
    Agreement and ending on the date of a Change of Control, Employee has
    continued to be an employee of the Company throughout such period, then, on
    the third business day following the date of the Change of Control, the
    Company shall pay Employee, in a single lump-sum, in addition to any other
    compensation provided for in the Employment Agreement, an initial one-third
    (1/3) installment of the "stay-put" payment, less any income, excise,
    employment or other tax withholdings which the Company is required by law to
    deduct therefrom.

(b) If, during the period beginning on the date first set forth in this
    Agreement and ending on the three (3) month anniversary of a Change of
    Control, Employee has continued to be an employee of the Company throughout
    such period, then, on the third business day following the three (3) month
    anniversary of the Change of Control, the Company shall pay Employee, in a
    single lump-sum, in addition to any other compensation provided for in the
    Employment Agreement, a second one-third (1/3) installment of the "stay-put"
    payment, less any income, excise, employment or other tax withholdings which
    the Company is required by law to deduct therefrom.

(c) If, during the period beginning on the date first set forth in this
    Agreement and ending on the nine (9) month anniversary of a Change of
    Control, Employee has continued to be an employee of the Company throughout
    such period, then, on the third business day following the nine (9) month
    anniversary of the Change of Control, the Company shall pay Employee, in a
    single lump-sum, in addition to any other compensation provided for in the
    Employment Agreement, a third and final one-third (1/3) installment of the
    "stay-put" payment, less any income, excise, employment or other tax
    withholdings which the Company is required by law to deduct therefrom.

(d) This Amendment shall automatically terminate on June 30, 1998 unless a
    Change of Control has occurred on or prior to June 30, 1998, in which case
    this Amendment shall remain in effect at least until the nine (9) month
    anniversary of the Change of Control, and until full payment to Employee of
    all payments to which Employee has become entitled at that time.

(e) In the event (i) the Company, without "cause", terminates Employee's
    employment or gives Employee notice of such termination, or (ii) Employee
    has terminated his or her employment or given notice of such termination by
    reason of a material breach by the Company of the terms of the Employment
    Agreement (including but not limited to the terms set forth on Exhibit A
    thereto), then Employee shall become entitled to the full "stay-put"
    payment, and shall be paid any and all unpaid installments of the "stay-put"
    payment on the third business day after his or her termination of employment
    with the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date 
first set forth above.
