conditions of Executive's employment by the Company will be as herein set forth.
During the Term, Executive will serve as the Company's Senior Vice President and

of his  business  time and services to the Company to perform such duties as may
be customarily  incident to such position and as may reasonably be assigned from

assigned to him.  Executive  will perform his duties  primarily at the Company's
principal  executive offices in Greenbelt,  Maryland,  provided that Executive's
duties may require him to travel and to perform services at other locations from

Annual  Salary.  Executive  hereby  agrees to accept,  as  compensation  for all
services rendered by Executive in any capacity hereunder, an initial base salary
at an annual rate of $280,000  commencing on the Effective  Date and  continuing

cash  payments  made under this  Agreement  will be inclusive of all  applicable
income, social security and other taxes and charges which are required by law to
be withheld from  Executive's  wages by the Company,  and which will be withheld
and paid in accordance with the Company's normal payroll  practices from time to
time in effect.  The Annual  Salary will be  reviewed on an annual  basis by the
Compensation  Committee of the Board and may be increased from time to time with
the approval of the Board;  provided,  however,  that the Annual  Salary will be
increased  by not less than five percent (5%) as of the first day of each fiscal
year of the Company.

Bonus and Benefits.

Annual Bonus.  With respect to each fiscal year of the Company ending during the
Term,  Executive  will be  eligible  to  receive  an Annual  Bonus to the extent
Executive  meets or exceeds  specified  personal  performance  goals  and/or the
Company meets or exceeds specified corporate performance goals.

                                       81
<PAGE>

Year One.  With respect to the current  fiscal year of the Company,  Executive's
Annual Bonus will be paid in accordance with the bonus plan previously  approved
by the Board.

Subsequent Years.

In General.  For each fiscal year of the Company after the current  fiscal year,
Executive  will be  eligible  to  receive  an Annual  Bonus of up to 100% of his
Annual Salary based on the  achievement  of corporate  and personal  performance
goals.  The Annual Bonus will be payable in two parts:  (A) 20% of Annual Salary
will be payable upon  fulfillment  of personal  performance  goals  ("Individual
Annual Bonus") and (B) 80% of Annual Salary will be payable upon  achievement of
corporate performance goals ("Corporate Annual Bonus").

Establishment  of Performance  Goals.  Prior to the first quarter of each fiscal
year,  Executive and the  Compensation  Committee of the Board will agree on the
following  items with  respect  to that year:  (A) all  Corporate  Annual  Bonus
performance  goals  (which  will be  based on  achieving  the  Company's  annual
budget), and (B) with respect to the Individual Annual Bonus (1) the methodology
for measuring  individual  performance,  (2) the threshold(s) at which a partial
Individual  Annual  Bonus will be  payable,  and (3) the  amount of any  partial
Individual Annual Bonus payable at each such threshold.

Partial  Achievement of Goals. If performance goals are  substantially  (but not
fully)  achieved,  Executive will be entitled to receive a partial Annual Bonus,
as follows:

Partial  Achievement of Corporate Goals. If less than 85% of the corporate goals
are  achieved,  no Corporate  Annual Bonus will be paid. If 85% of the corporate
goals are achieved,  a Corporate Annual Bonus equal to 35% of Annual Salary will
be payable to Executive.  If the portion of the corporate goals achieved is more
than eighty-five  percent (85%) and less than one hundred twelve percent (112%),
the amount of the  Corporate  Annual  Bonus  payable to  Executive  will equal a
percentage of Annual Salary determined in accordance with the following formula,
where "x" is the percentage of the corporate goals achieved:

35 + [(x - 85) * 1.67]

Partial Achievement of Personal Goals. A partial Individual Annual Bonus will be
determined  in  accordance   with  the   methodology   developed  under  Section
4.1(b)(ii), above.

Superior Performance. If greater than one hundred twelve (112%) of the corporate
goals are achieved,  Executive will be entitled to receive an incremental annual
bonus (the "Superior  Performance Bonus") up to an additional 50% of Executive's
Annual  Salary  based  on a  formula  to  be  established  by  the  Compensation
Committee.  Any amounts paid as a Superior Performance Bonus will be included as
Annual Bonus for purposes of this agreement.

Measurement of Performance and Adjustment of Goals. The determination of whether
corporate  performance goals have been achieved for any fiscal year will be made
with  reference to the Company's  audited  financial  statements for that fiscal
year. From time to time, the Board, with the consent of Executive (which consent
will not be  unreasonably  withheld),  may make  adjustments  to the personal or
corporate  performance  goals so that  required  departures  from the  Company's
operating budget, changes in accounting principles,

                                       82
<PAGE>

acquisitions,   dispositions,   mergers,   consolidations  and  other  corporate
transactions,  and other factors  influencing  the achievement or calculation of
those  goals  do not  affect  the  operation  of this  Section  4.1 in a  manner
inconsistent with the achievement of its intended purposes.

Payment Timing.  Any amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.1 will be paid as
soon as  practicable  following the Board's  approval of the  Company's  audited
financial statements for the relevant fiscal year.

Benefits.

Generally.  Executive  will be entitled  to  participate  in all benefit  plans,
policies or  arrangements  sponsored or  maintained  by the Company from time to
time for its senior executive officers.

Non-Qualified Plans.

Throughout the Term, the Company will continue to maintain a Non-Qualified Plan.
For each year ending during the Term,  Executive's  account in the Non-Qualified
Plan will be credited with an employer  contribution at least equal (measured as
a percent of Annual Salary) to the employer contribution that was credited under
the OAO Technology Solutions,  Inc. Executive and Director Deferred Compensation
Plan with respect to 2000 and such contribution will vest at least as rapidly as
the vesting schedule contained in the OAO Technology  Solutions,  Inc. Executive
and Director  Deferred  Compensation  Plan as of the date of this Agreement and,
once vested, will not be divested for any reason.

Each  Non-Qualified  Plan will provide that the commencement of the distribution
of  Executive's  account  therein will not be required to commence  earlier than
five (5) years following his termination of employment;  provided, however, that
each  Non-Qualified  Plan will also permit  Executive to elect to receive a lump
sum  distribution of any portions of his vested account at any time upon payment
of a 10% early distribution penalty.

Other  Benefits.  Executive  will be entitled to the  benefits  specified in the
attached Exhibit A.

Vacation.  Executive  will be entitled to five (5) weeks paid vacation per year.
Such  vacation  will accrue and be scheduled in  accordance  with the  Company's
standard  policies and practices as in effect from time to time. Any accrued but
unused  vacation  may be carried  over to  subsequent  years or, at  Executive's
elective, cashed out annually.

Expenses.  The  Company  will  pay or  reimburse  Executive  for all  reasonable
business,  entertainment  and  travel  expenses  incurred  in the  course of his
employment in accordance with the Company's  standard  policies and practices as
in effect from time to time.

Non-Compete;  Confidentiality;  Intellectual  Property.  Executive  agrees to be
bound by the Restrictive Covenants set forth in this Section 5.

Restrictive Covenants.

Non-Compete. Executive agrees that during the Term and for a period of 15 months
thereafter,  or such lesser term,  but not less than 6 months,  as the Board may
determine  within

                                       83
<PAGE>

60 days of any such  termination,  Executive  will not,  without  prior  written
approval of the Board,  directly or indirectly  through any other person,  firm,
company or entity, whether individually or in conjunction with any other person,
or as an employee, agent, consultant,  representative,  partner or holder of any
interest in any other person,  firm, company or other  association:  (A) engage,
participate or become interested in any other business  primarily engaged in the
provision of Information Technology Solutions; (B) solicit, entice or induce any
Customer  (as  defined  below) to engage  any other  person,  firm or company to
provide them with  Information  Technology  Solutions or to cease doing business
with the Company,  and  Executive  will not  approach  any such person,  firm or
company for such purpose or  authorize  or knowingly  approve the taking of such
actions by any other  person;  or (C)  solicit,  entice or induce any person who
presently  is or at any time  during the Term is an  employee  of the Company to
become  employed  by any  other  person,  firm  or  company  or to  leave  their
employment  with the Company,  and Executive will not approach any such employee
for such purpose or authorize or knowingly approve the taking of such actions by
any other person.  For purposes of this Section 5, a "Customer" means any person
or entity which at the time of determination shall be, or shall have been within
two years prior to such time, a client, customer, distributor or reseller of the
Company.

Nothing  in  the  foregoing  will  prohibit  Executive  from  investing  in  the
securities  of any company  having  securities  listed on a national  securities
exchange,  provided  that  such  investment  does not  exceed 5% of any class of
securities of any company, and provided that such ownership represents a passive
investment and that neither Executive nor any group of persons including him, in
any way, either directly or indirectly, manages or exercises control of any such
company,  guarantees any of its financial obligations,  otherwise takes any part
in its business, other than exercising his rights as a shareholder,  or seeks to
do any of the foregoing.

Confidentiality.  Executive acknowledges that during the term of his employment,
he will have  access  to  confidential  information  of the  Company,  including
information about "Developments" (as defined in Section 5.1(c)), business plans,
costs,  customers,  profits,  markets,  sales, products, key personnel,  pricing
policies,  operational  methods and other business affairs and methods and other
information  not  available to the public or in the public  domain  (hereinafter
referred to as  "Confidential  Information").  In  recognition of the foregoing,
Executive  covenants  and agrees  that,  except as required by his duties to the
Company,  Executive will keep secret all Confidential Information of the Company
and will not,  directly  or  indirectly,  either  during the Term or at any time
thereafter while such Confidential Information remains confidential, disclose or
disseminate to anyone or make use of, for any purpose  whatsoever except for the
benefit  of the  Company  in the  course  of his  employment,  any  Confidential
Information,  and upon termination of this  employment,  Executive will promptly
deliver  to  the  Company  all  tangible   materials   and  objects   containing
Confidential  Information  (including all copies  thereof,  whether  prepared by
Executive or others)  which he may possess or have under his  control.  The term
"Confidential  Information"  will  not  include  any  information  which  can be
demonstrated  to be generally  known in the industry or to the public other than
through breach of Executive's obligations hereunder.

Ownership of Inventions and Ideas.  Executive acknowledges that the Company will
be the  sole  owner of all the  results  and  proceeds  of  Executive's  service
hereunder,  including  but not limited  to, all  patents,  patent  applications,
patent rights,  formulas,  copyrights,  inventions,

                                       84
<PAGE>

developments,  discoveries, other improvements,  data, documentation,  drawings,
charts, and other written,  audio and/or visual materials relating to equipment,
methods,  products,  processes,  or programs in connection with or useful to the
Company's  business  (collectively,  the  "Developments")  which  Executive,  by
himself or in conjunction with any other person,  may conceive,  make,  acquire,
acquire  knowledge  of,  develop  or  create  during  the  term  of  Executive's
employment hereunder, free and clear of any claims by Executive (or any assignee
of him) of any kind or  character  whatsoever  other than  Executive's  right to
compensation   hereunder.   Executive   acknowledges   that  all   copyrightable
Developments  will be considered works made for hire under the Federal Copyright
Act. Executive hereby assigns and transfers his right, title and interest in and
to all such  Developments,  and  agrees  that he  will,  at the  request  of the
Company,  execute or  cooperate  with the  Company  in any patent  applications,
execute such assignments,  certificates or other instruments, and do any and all
other  acts,  as the  Board  from time to time  reasonably  deems  necessary  or
desirable to evidence, establish,  maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or defend
the Company's right, title and interest in or to any such Developments.

Rights and Remedies Upon Breach.  Executive  acknowledges  that the  Restrictive
Covenants are reasonable  and necessary to protect the  legitimate  interests of
the Company and that the Company  would not have entered into this  Agreement in
the absence of the Restrictive  Covenants.  Executive also acknowledges that any
breach by him, willfully or otherwise,  of the Restrictive  Covenants will cause
continuing  and  irreparable  injury to the Company for which  monetary  damages
would not be an adequate remedy. Executive will not, in any action or proceeding
to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement,  assert the claim or defense
that such an adequate  remedy at law exists.  In the event of any such breach by
Executive,  the Company will have the right to enforce the Restrictive Covenants
by seeking injunctive or other relief in any court, without any requirement that
a bond or other security be posted, and this Agreement will not in any way limit
remedies of law or in equity otherwise available to the Company.

Extension of  Restricted  Period.  If Executive  is  determined  to have been in
breach of Section  5.1(a) by a court or  arbitrator  of competent  jurisdiction,
then the duration of the restrictions contained in that section will be extended
for a period equal to the period that  Executive is  determined  to have been in
breach of those restrictions.

Judicial  Modification.  If any  court  determines  that any of the  Restrictive
Covenants,  or any part  thereof,  is  unenforceable  because of the duration or
geographical  scope of such provision,  such court will have the power to modify
such  provision  and,  in  its  modified  form,  such  provision  will  then  be
enforceable.

Disclosure of Restrictive Covenants.  The Company may disclose the existence and
terms of the  Restrictive  Covenants set forth in this Section 5 to any employer
that  Executive may work for during the Restricted  Period.  Upon request of the
Company, Executive will provide the name and address of any such employer.

Termination.  Executive's  employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company
or Executive at any time. Upon such  termination,  Executive will be entitled to
the compensation and benefits as described in this Section 6.

                                       85
<PAGE>

Termination  Without  Cause or for Good Reason.  If  Executive's  employment  is
terminated  by the  Company  without  Cause or by  Executive  for  Good  Reason,
Executive  will be entitled to:  payment of all accrued and unpaid Annual Salary
and  accrued but unused  vacation  days  through  the date of such  termination;
payment of any Annual Bonus payable with respect to a fiscal year of the Company
ending  prior to such  termination;  continuation  of health care  coverage  for
Executive  (and,  to the  extent  covered  immediately  prior to the date of the
termination,  his spouse and dependents),  at the same cost charged to Executive
for such  coverage  immediately  prior to  Executive's  termination,  until  the
earlier of (i) the end of the Severance Period, or (ii) Executive's  eligibility
for coverage under another  employer's group health plan; payment for reasonable
executive outplacement services;  payment of semi-monthly severance payments for
the duration of the Severance Period in an amount equal to (i) one-twenty-fourth
of his  Annual  Salary  as of the  date  of such  termination,  plus  (ii)  one-
twenty-fourth  the Average Annual Bonus,  plus (iii) one-half of the monthly car
allowance  specified  in Exhibit A;  payment of a pro-rata  Annual Bonus for the
fiscal year of  termination,  which bonus will be determined by multiplying  the
Annual Bonus opportunity for that fiscal year times (i) the formula set forth in
Section 4.1 (b)(iii)(A) by annualizing the Company's  earnings  through the date
of termination, times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number
of days elapsed in the fiscal year preceding  Executive's  termination,  and the
denominator  of which will 365. Such  pro-rata  Annual Bonus will be paid within
thirty  (30) days  following  Executive's  termination;  accelerated  vesting of
equity and equity-based  incentives and Non-Qualified Plan benefits by crediting
Executive,  as of the  termination  date,  with  additional  service  credit for
purposes  of  vesting  under  each  equity and  equity-based  incentive  held by
Executive immediately prior to his termination and under each Non-Qualified Plan
for a period equal to the greater of (i) the time remaining until the Expiration
Date, or (ii) the remainder of the fiscal year in which such termination occurs;
and with respect to any options then held by Executive to purchase capital stock
of the  Company,  extension  of the  post-termination  exercise  period  of such
options to 90 days  following  the end of the  Severance  Period.  The severance
benefits  described  in  this  Section  6.1  will  be paid in lieu of and not in
addition to any other severance arrangement maintained by the Company.

Change of Control Terminations.

If  Executive's  employment  with the  Company is  terminated  without  Cause or
Executive  resigns  for any reason  within six (6) months  following a Change in
Control,  Executive  will be  entitled  to all  payments,  rights  and  benefits
provided  pursuant to Section 6.1, except that (i) the Severance  Period will be
extended by nine (9) months; and (ii) all periodic payments will be converted to
an  undiscounted  lump sum,  payable  immediately  following  upon  termination.
Subject to Section  6.2(b)(i),  the amount  payable under Section 6.2(a) will be
made without regard to whether the  deductibility  of such payments  (considered
together  with any  other  entitlements  or  payments  otherwise  paid or due to
Executive) would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Code and without
regard to whether such payments  would subject  Executive to a Parachute  Excise
Tax.

Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if the Total Payments  would, in the absence of
this Section  6.2(b)(i),  result in the imposition of a Parachute  Excise Tax on
Executive,  then the Total  Payments will be reduced to the extent  necessary to
eliminate the imposition of a Parachute Excise Tax; provided,  however,  that if
the amount by which the Total Payments would be reduced pursuant to this Section
6.2(b)(i)  exceeds  10% of the  amount  of the  Total  Payments,  then the Total
Payments will not be reduced and Section 6.2(b)(ii) will apply.

                                       86
<PAGE>

Subject to Section  6.2(b)(i),  if payment of the Total  Payments  result in the
imposition  of a  Parachute  Excise  Tax,  Executive  will  be  entitled  to  an
additional  payment in an amount such that,  after the payment of the  Parachute
Excise Tax with respect to the Total Payments and the payment of all federal and
state income, employment and excise taxes on additional payment made pursuant to
this Section 6.2(b)(ii),  Executive will be in the same after-tax position as if
no Parachute Excise Tax had been imposed.

The  determination  of the amount of the Total  Payments and whether and to what
extent reductions or payments under Sections 6.2(b) are required to be made will
be made at the Company's  expense by an independent  auditor  selected by mutual
agreement  of the Company and  Executive.  In the event of any  underpayment  or
overpayment to Executive (determined after the application of Sections 6.2(b)(i)
and (ii)),  the amount of such  underpayment or overpayment will be, as promptly
as practicable, paid by the Company to Executive or refunded by Executive to the
Company,  as the case may be,  with  interest  at the  applicable  federal  rate
specified in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

Other Terminations.  If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by
the  Company  for  Cause,  as a result  of  Executive's  death,  as a result  of
Executive's disability,  or by Executive without Good Reason, then the Company's
obligation  to  Executive  will be limited  solely to the payment of accrued and
unpaid  Annual  Salary and accrued but unused  vacation days through the date of
such termination and the payment of any unpaid Annual Bonus payable with respect
to a fiscal year of the Company  ending  prior to such  termination.  All Annual
Salary and Benefits will cease at the time of such  termination  and,  except as
otherwise  provided in this  Section  6.3, in any  Indemnification  Agreement or
pursuant to COBRA,  the Company will have no further  liability or obligation to
Executive  following  such  termination.  The foregoing will not be construed to
limit Executive's  rights under any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement
of the Company.

Miscellaneous

Successors  and  Assigns.  This  Agreement  will inure to the  benefit of and be
binding  upon  the  Company  and  Executive  and  their  respective  successors,
executors,  administrators,  heirs and/or permitted assigns; provided,  however,
that  neither  Executive  nor the  Company  may  make  any  assignments  of this

Dispute Resolution.

Good-Faith Negotiations.  If any dispute arises under this Agreement that is not
settled  promptly in the ordinary  course of business,  the parties will seek to
resolve any such dispute between them, first, by negotiating  promptly with each
other in good faith in face-to-face  negotiations.  If the parties are unable to
resolve the dispute  between them within 20 business days (or such period as the
parties  otherwise  agree)  through these  face-to-face  negotiations,  then the
controversy or claim will be settled by arbitration  conducted on a confidential
basis,  under the U.S.  Arbitration  Act, if  applicable,  and the then  current
Commercial  Arbitration  Rules  of the  American  Arbitration  Association  (the
"Association")  strictly in accordance  with the terms of this Agreement and the
substantive law of the State of Delaware.  The arbitration  will be conducted at
the Association's  regional office located closest to Company's  principal place
of business by one  arbitrator  experienced  in employment  matters  selected by
mutual  agreement of Executive and the Company.  Judgment upon the  arbitrator's
award  may be  entered  and  enforced  in any court of  competent  jurisdiction.
Neither  party will  institute a  proceeding  hereunder  unless at least 10 days
prior  thereto,  such party  provided  written  notice to the other party of its
intent to do so.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the Company will not be precluded  hereby from
securing  equitable  remedies in courts of any jurisdiction  including,  but not
limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary  injunctions to protect
its  rights  and  interests  but will not be  sought as a means to avoid or stay
arbitration.

Severability.  Whenever  possible,  each  provision  of this  Agreement  will be
interpreted  in such manner as to be effective and valid under  applicable  law,
but if any  provision  of  this  Agreement  is held to be  invalid,  illegal  or
unenforceable   in  any  respect  under  any  applicable  law  or  rule  in  any
jurisdiction,  such invalidity,  illegality or unenforceability  will not affect
any other  provision or the  effectiveness  or validity of any  provision in any
other jurisdiction,  and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced
in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,  illegal or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein.

Section  Headings.  The section  headings in this Agreement are for  convenience
only;   they  form  no  part  of  this   Agreement   and  will  not  affect  its
interpretation.

Counterparts and Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed, including execution
by  facsimile  signature,  in one or more  counterparts,  each of which  will be
deemed an original,  and all of which  together will be deemed to be one and the
same instrument.

reasonable efforts to adjust its Prices so that they are competitive.

4.3  Productivity  Improvement  and  Cost  Reduction  Discounts:  OAOT  will use
reasonable  efforts to  maintain  and  implement  a  comprehensive  productivity

Agreement does not create an agency,  partnership, or joint venture relationship
between  IBM and OAOT or IBM and OAOT  Personnel.  IBM assumes no  liability  or
responsibility  for OAOT Personnel.  OAOT will: (i) ensure it and OAOT Personnel
are  in  compliance  with  all  laws,  regulations,  ordinances,  and  licensing
requirements;  (ii) be responsible for the supervision,  control,  compensation,
withholdings,  health and safety of OAOT Personnel;  (iii) ensure OAOT Personnel

transmit   and  receive   legally   binding   purchase   and  sale   obligations
("Documents"),  including  electronic  credit entries  transmitted by IBM to the
OAOT account specified in the relevant SOW. Each party, at its own expense, will
provide and maintain the equipment, software, services and testing necessary for
it to effectively and reliably transmit and receive such Documents. Either party
may use a third party service provider for network services,  provided the other
party is given  sixty,  (60) days prior  written  notice of any  changes to such
services.  A Document  will be deemed  received  upon  arrival at the  receiving
party's  mailbox or Internet  address and the receiving party will promptly send
an acknowledgment of such receipt.  The receiving party will promptly notify the
originating party if a Document is received in an unintelligible  form, provided
that the originating party can be identified. In the absence of such notice, the
originating  party's record of the contents of such Document will prevail.  Each
party  will  authenticate  Documents  using a digital  signature  or User ID, as
specified  by  IBM,  and  will  maintain  security  procedures  to  prevent  its
unauthorized use.

13.0 Recordkeeping and Audit Rights: OAOT will maintain (and provide to IBM upon
