    ORBCOMM CONCEPT DEMONSTRATION COMMUNICATION PAYLOAD PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT
          B10LG1192 dated 3 November 2004 (THE "PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT")

This Amendment to the Procurement Agreement (this "Amendment") is made and
entered into as of the 21st day of April, 2006 between ORBCOMM Inc, a Delaware
corporation ("ORBCOMM") with its principal place of business located at 21700
Atlantic Boulevard, Dulles, VA 20166 and Orbital Sciences Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Orbital") with its principal place of business located at
21839 Atlantic Boulevard, Dulles, Virginia 20166 and constitutes the exercise
Option A of the Procurement Agreement, as modified herein. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Procurement Agreement. References herein to the Procurement Agreement shall be
deemed to include all Exhibits thereto provided that each of Exhibits A
(Specifications), B (Statement of Work), C (Key Personnel) and E (Milestone
Payments and T&M Billing Rates) are, for purposes hereof, replaced in their
entirety by Exhibits A-1, B-1, C-1 and E-1 hereto and references herein and in
the Procurement Agreement to these Exhibits shall be deemed to refer to such
revised Exhibits. This Amendment becomes effective on the date both parties have
signed this Amendment and the amount of the first Milestone Payment as defined
in Exhibit E-1 is received from ORBCOMM (the "Effective Date" or "AED").

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS ORBCOMM wishes to procure from Orbital, and Orbital wishes to supply to
ORBCOMM, six (6) additional Automatic Identification System (AIS) Signal
payloads as set forth herein.

WHEREAS, ORBCOMM and Orbital have agreed to amend certain particulars of the
Procurement Agreement as shall apply to this additional procurement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other valuable
considerations the receipt and adequacy of which each party hereby acknowledges,
the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Additional Payloads. Orbital shall design, manufacture, test and deliver one
(1) payload (without antenna) engineering development unit (the "EDU Unit") and
six (6) additional Automatic Identification System (AIS) Signal payloads (the
"Additional Payloads") in accordance with the Statement of Work and
Specifications attached hereto, including (without limitation) the delivery
schedule set forth in Section 2.1.1 of the SOW (the "Delivery Schedule"). Except
where expressly stated otherwise herein, references herein to the Additional
Payloads shall be deemed to include the antenna subsystems associated therewith.

<PAGE>

                                       -2-

2. Price. The firm fixed price for the six (6) Additional Payloads, each with an
additional SRX, shall total $17,000,000 (the "Price"), which ORBCOMM shall pay
Orbital, in accordance with Exhibit E-1 of this Amendment. Orbital acknowledges
and agrees that it shall provide all associated deliverables, including the EDU
Unit, documentation, and services, as specified in the Procurement Agreement,
this Amendment, and the SOW without additional charge, except if and to the
extent that a particular task is expressly stated as being subject to additional
payment for time and material expenses. Completion of the payment milestones
with respect to the Additional Payloads is set forth on Exhibit E-1 hereto (the
"AP Milestones"). Completion of AP Milestones shall be determined as described
in Section 5.3 of the Procurement Agreement.

3. Price Adjustments. Without prejudice to any other applicable rights and
remedies under the Procurement Agreement, the following price adjustments shall
apply to the Additional Payloads:

     (i) Late Delivery. If one or more of the Additional Payloads is not
delivered in accordance with the requirements of this Amendment within fourteen
(14) months of the Effective Date plus sixty (60) days grace period (no penalty
shall be incurred in the grace period) for the Additional Payloads (less the
antenna subsystem) and fourteen (14) months plus ninety (90) days grace period
for the antenna subsystem associated therewith, starting on the first day after
such applicable grace period has been exhausted, Orbital shall pay ORBCOMM
liquidated delay damages of [***]% ($[***]) per day for each Additional Payload
that has not been so delivered for each day of delay, up to a total amount not
to exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Price ($[***]) and not to exceed $[***]
per day and inclusive of the penalties described in clause 3.(iv) below.

     (ii) On Time or Early Delivery. If the EDU Unit and all of the Additional
Payloads are delivered in accordance with the requirements of this Amendment by
the date specified in the Delivery Schedule, ORBCOMM shall pay Orbital a single
on-time delivery incentive of 1.2% of the Price ($204,000). In addition, if all
of the Additional Payloads are so delivered on time, for each day that the
Additional Payloads are so delivered early, ORBCOMM shall pay Orbital 0.01% of
Price ($1700) per day of early delivery, up to a total amount not to exceed
$100,000 for such early delivery (for all Additional Payloads combined).

     (iii) Calculation of On-time, Late and Early Delivery. Timely delivery of
an Additional Payload shall require the timely delivery of both the payload unit
(without the antenna) and the associated antenna (A) within fourteen (14) months
of the Effective Date plus sixty (60) days grace period for the Additional
Payloads (less the antenna subsystem) and fourteen (14) months plus ninety (90)
days grace period for the antenna subsystem associated therewith, for purposes
of clause 3(i) above and (B) in accordance with the Delivery Schedule for
purposes of clause 3(ii) above. For purposes of calculating late delivery
penalties, however, late deliveries of separate items associated with the same
Additional Payload shall be determined by the greatest lateness of any single
item, but shall not be additive. For example, if the first flight

<PAGE>

                                       -3-

Additional Payload (less the antenna subsystem) is delivered seventy-five (75)
days late, and the first flight antenna subsystem is delivered one hundred (100)
days late, the late charge shall be calculated on the basis that the first
Additional Payload was delivered seventy-five (75) days late, or fifteen (15)
days worth of late charges.

          Conversely, for purposes of calculating early delivery incentives, the
least early item associated with a particular Additional Payload shall be
controlling. Accordingly, if the EDU is delivered twenty (20) days early; the
first flight payload (less antenna) is delivered ten (10) days early, and the
first flight antenna is delivered five (5) days early (and assuming all the
Additional Payloads were delivered on time), the early delivery incentive shall
be calculated on the basis of the first Additional Payload having been delivered
five (5) days early.

          If and to the extent that a delay in delivery is excused by force
majeure then Orbital shall not be responsible for late charges under clause 3(i)
above for the period of such force majeure delay. The time required for delivery
in order for Orbital to achieve on-time or early delivery incentives under
clause 3(ii) above shall, however, not be extended by force majeure delays.

     (iv) Power and Weight. If ORBCOMM agrees to accept Additional Payloads that
exceed the maximum operating power and/or weight limits set forth in the
Specifications, then Orbital shall pay ORBCOMM as compensation therefor, $10,000
per Kg in excess of 20.31 Kg (inclusive of 1kg grace) for the total Additional
Payload mass as set forth in Section 4.5.4 of the Specifications and $10,000 per
5 watts in excess of 120 watts (inclusive of 5 watts grace) of total Additional
Payload power as set forth in Section 4.5.5 of the Specifications, in each case
per Additional Payload, and in each case pro rated for partial amounts in excess
of such maximum weight and/or power. The maximum payment that shall be paid for
exceeding the power and/or weight limits shall not exceed $100,000.

     (v) Additional Environmental Testing of the Integrated Flight Payloads. If
ORBCOMM directs (in writing) Orbital to perform the additional environmental
testing for flight payloads as set forth in Section 6.3.2.2 of the SOW, ORBCOMM
shall pay Orbital an additional amount of $94,000 for the first Additional
Payload so tested at ORBCOMM's direction and an amount of $26,000 for each
subsequent Additional Payload thereafter. In addition, Orbital shall be allowed
up to fourteen (14 days of schedule relief as necessary to accomplish such
testing. ORBCOMM's direction for this additional testing must be received within
six (6) months after the Effective Date.

     (vi) Time and Material Charges. All time and material charges, if
applicable, shall be calculated in accordance with Exhibit E-1 hereto. Where
insofar in this regard it becomes necessary to calculate "costs," costs shall be
limited to reasonable, out of pocket, and documented costs actually incurred,
and only insofar as the costs exceed the cost that would have had to been
incurred by Orbital in any event without additional charge.

<PAGE>

                                       -4-

     (vii) Holdback Charge. As shown in Exhibit E-1, four percent (4%) of the
Price ($680,000) (the "Holdback Amount") shall be held back by ORBCOMM until
one-year (12 months) after the successful completion of payload IOT for the
Additional Payloads. Said Holdback Amount shall be paid by ORBCOMM to Orbital if
all of the Additional Payloads are successfully operating in accordance with
their Specifications on said first anniversary date. In order to holdback such
amounts, ORBCOMM shall, not later than thirty (30) days prior to launch, deliver
to ORBITAL a performance bond or letter of credit to receive such payment,
failing which ORBCOMM shall make the Holdback Payment to Orbital or a mutually
agreeable third party escrow agent at that time, but subject to refund by
Orbital (or release to ORBCOMM by such escrow agent), on a pro rata basis, if
one or more of the Additional Payloads are not so successfully operating on said
first anniversary date.

4. Additional Options. ORBCOMM shall have the option to require Orbital to
manufacture, test and deliver to ORBCOMM up to two (2) Additional Payloads (in
addition to those delivered pursuant to clause 1 above) in accordance with the
SOW and the Specifications (the "Optional Payloads"). The firm fixed price for
each Optional Payload, each with an additional SRX, shall be $2,200,000.
Delivery of each Optional Payload(less the antenna subsystem) will be fourteen
(14) months (plus sixty (60) days grace period) and fourteen (14) months (plus
ninety (90) days grace period) for the antenna subsystem associated therewith,
after ORBCOMM's written direction is received exercising this option and the
first milestone payment for each Optional Payload in the amount of $200,000 is
received. The payment schedule for the Optional Payloads shall correspond as
closely as possible (in terms of time and percentage of total price) to the AP
Milestones set forth on Exhibit E-1. This option must be exercised, if at all
and at ORBCOMM's sole discretion, no later than three (3) months after the
Effective Date with respect to each Additional Option. This option may be
exercised by ORBCOMM in whole or in part. Except as specified above, all
references herein to Additional Payloads shall be deemed to include the Optional
Payloads to the extent this option is exercised by ORBCOMM.

5. Taxes, Delivery, Title. Orbital shall be responsible for all United States
(including political subdivisions) tax payments, liabilities, or claims required
by present or future laws and regulations. ORBCOMM shall be responsible for all
non-U.S. (including political subdivisions) taxes, liabilities, or claims, and
any customs duties, if any, levied upon or measured by the sale, the sales
price, or the use of the equipment deliverable under this Amendment required by
present or future laws and regulations. Transfer of title to each deliverable
item will pass to ORBCOMM prior to each deliverable item entering non-U.S.
territory and after each deliverable item leaves the United States. Orbital
shall agree to make reasonable changes in the Procurement Agreement and this
Amendment, such as modifying the place of delivery and/or delaying the passage
of title, as ORBCOMM may request in writing, in order to improve the tax
efficiencies with respect to the Additional Payloads, provided that any such
change shall be economically neutral to Orbital. ORBCOMM shall indemnify and
hold harmless Orbital from and against any damages as a result of Orbital
holding title to any Additional Payloads following delivery thereof to the
shipper at Orbital's facility.

                                       -5-

6. Payment Terms and Invoicing. Section 5.1 - Invoicing of the Procurement
Agreement is hereby amended to add the following after the second sentence: "
Payments shall be due net 10 days for those payments defined in Exhibit E-1".

7. Insurance. Orbital shall, at ORBCOMM's request, provide reasonable assistance
to ORBCOMM, in seeking to obtain launch and/or in-orbit insurance and/or in
pursuing any claim thereunder, including participating in a reasonable number of
technical presentations to insurers and providing such documentation as may be
reasonably requested.

8. Corrections. The fourth sentence of Section 6.2 of the Procurement Agreement
is hereby amended to be consistent with the last sentence of Section 6.3(a),
..i.e., the decision as to how corrections shall be mutually agreed by ORBCOMM
and Orbital. In addition, if integration testing reveals defects in the
Additional Payloads resulting from a defect in workmanship or materials or
noncompliance with the SOW or Specifications, Orbital shall be responsible, at
its own expense, for the timely repair and correction of the Additional
Payloads, if practical at the facility of the integrator (with the time spent by
its personnel not charged against then allocated time to ORBCOMM) and if not, at
Orbital's facilities, with all transportation, insurance, and risk of loss in
transit to and from the integrator's facilities and those of Orbital borne by
Orbital. If such remedies are required, the elapsed time needed to remedy such
defects or noncompliance shall be added to the actual delivery date to establish
the delivery of such items for the purpose of calculating a revised delivery
date for the purpose of assessing incentives and penalties. For example, if an
Additional Payload is delivered in AED plus 330 days, such a defect or
noncompliance is revealed in AED plus 360 days and remedied by AED plus 380
days, delivery shall have been deemed to occur on AED plus 350 days (i.e. 20
additional days) for the purpose of assessing incentives and penalties under
clauses 3(i) and 3(ii) above.

9. Security Interest; Property Accounting; Source Code Escrow. As collateral for
the timely performance by Orbital of its work hereunder, Orbital hereby grants
to ORBCOMM a first priority security interest in the work and work in progress
and any proceeds therefrom with respect to the Additional Payloads. ORBCOMM
agrees to execute any release of such security interest when Orbital has
transferred to it title to the Additional Payloads and all deliverables
associated therewith. Orbital shall execute such documentation thereof as
ORBCOMM may reasonably request. Supplies, prints, materials, components,
subsystems, and systems as associated with such work shall be properly
inventoried and identified as associated with such work in accordance with
Orbital's normal inventory control practice, documentation of which shall be
subject to inspection by ORBCOMM, and shall not be redeployed to other programs
without ORBCOMM's consent.

     Orbital shall, in addition, contemporaneously with its entry into this
Amendment, execute (as the "Depositor") and thereafter perform the obligations
of a Depositor under the "Preferred Escrow Agreement" with Iron Mountain and
ORBCOMM (as the "Preferred Beneficiary"), attached hereto as Exhibit G. ORBCOMM
agrees that it shall pay Iron Mountain's fees under the Preferred Escrow
Agreement. Subject to

<PAGE>

                                       -6-

ORBCOMM's obligation to pay Iron Mountain's fees, Orbital agrees that ORBCOMM
shall have the right to adjust the level of work to be performed by Iron
Mountain and/or terminate the Preferred Escrow Agreement in accordance with its
terms and Orbital shall execute and deliver such instructions to Iron Mountain
as ORBCOMM may reasonably request to reflect ORBCOMM's decisions in this regard.

10. Legal Compliance. Each Party shall comply with all applicable laws and
regulations with respect to the performance of this Amendment.

11. Specific Performance. Nothing in the Procurement Agreement or this Amendment
shall be deemed to bar either party from seeking specific performance of the
other party's obligations hereunder.

12. Force Majeure. The force majeure provision of the Procurement Agreement is
hereby replaced with the following:

"Section 12.2 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible for failure or
delay in performance or delivery if such failure or delay is the result of an
act of God, terrorism, riot, or other hostilities, act of the public enemy,
embargo, governmental act, orders or regulations, fire, war, riot, strikes,
hurricane or other catastrophic weather condition, delay of spacecraft bus for
integration, delay of launch or other cause of a similar nature that is beyond
the control of such party claiming force majeure. In the event of such
occurrence, this Agreement shall be amended by mutual agreement to reflect an
extension in the period of performance and/or time of delivery necessitated by
such circumstances. Failure to agree on an equitable extension shall be
considered a dispute and resolved in accordance with Section 12.3 hereof. Any
failure or delay that could have been avoided or greater minimized by the
exercise of commercially reasonable diligence and care (including work around
solutions to minimize the effect of a force majeure event)."

13. Key Personnel. Exhibit C to the Procurement Agreement is hereby updated as
it relates to the work to be performed for the Additional Payloads by Exhibit
C-1 hereto.

14. Public Announcement. Except as may be required by applicable laws, neither
party will make a public announcement regarding this Amendment without the
approval of the other party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

15. Statement of Work. A revised Statement of Work ("SOW") with respect to the
Additional Payloads and all associated deliverables, documentation and services
is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1.

16. Specifications. Revised Specifications ("Specifications") with respect to
the Additional Payloads and all associates deliverables, documentation and
services are attached hereto as Exhibit A-1.

17. Rights and Obligations under Procurement Agreement. Except insofar as the
terms and conditions of the Procurement Agreement, including all associated
exhibits,

<PAGE>

                                       -7-

may be expressly in conflict with the terms and conditions of this Amendment,
the terms and conditions of such Procurement Agreement (also sometimes
internally referenced therein) shall remain in full force and effect and apply,
in context, to the parties' rights and obligations vis-a-vis the Additional
Payloads. In the event of any inconsistency or contradiction between the terms
of this Amendment and the Procurement Agreement, the provisions of this
Amendment shall prevail and control. On and after the date hereof each reference
in the Procurement Agreement to (a) "this Agreement", "this order", "herein", or
words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Procurement Agreement
as amended hereby; (b) "Milestone(s)" shall mean "AP Milestone(s)" for purposes
of the AP Milestones; and (c) "Payload" (including without limitation in both
clauses (a) and (b) of Section 2.4 of the Procurement Agreement) shall be deemed
to refer to each Additional Payload.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed as of
the day and year first above written.

     Re: Amendment to International Value Added Reseller Agreement

Dear Mr. Konditi:

     Effective the date first written above, ORBCOMM LLC ("ORBCOMM") and GE
Asset Intelligence, LLC ("GE" and, together with ORBCOMM, the "Parties") hereby
agree to amend the terms of the International Value Added Reseller Agreement,
dated March 14, 2003, as amended (the "IVAR"), by and between the Parties, as
follows:

          1.   Section 8 of the IVAR shall be amended to add the following at
               the end thereof:

          "In the case of U.S. Postal Service subscribers, each party accepts
          the following provisions to the extent applicable to such party with
          respect to any order issued under any U.S. Postal Service contract:

CLAUSE 3-2 PARTICIPATION OF SMALL, MINORITY, AND WOMAN-OWNED BUSINESSES
(FEBRUARY 2005) (3.2.3)

     a.   The policy of the U.S. Postal Service is to encourage the
          participation of small, minority, and woman-owned business in its
          purchases of supplies and services to the maximum extent practicable
          consistent with efficient contract performance. The supplier agrees to
          follow the same policy in performing this contract.

CLAUSE 9-7 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY (MAY 2005) (9.7.10)

     a.   The supplier may not discriminate against employees or applicants
          because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The
          supplier will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are
          employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without
          regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This action
          must include, but not be limited to, employment, upgrading, demotion,
          or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or
          termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and
          selection for training, including apprenticeship. The supplier agrees
          to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants,
          notices provided by the contracting officer setting forth the
          provisions of this clause.

     b.   The supplier must, in all solicitations or advertisements for
          employees placed by it or on its behalf, state that all qualified
          applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race,
          color, religion, sex, or national origin.

<PAGE>

     c.   The supplier must send to each union or workers' representative with
          which the supplier has a collective bargaining agreement or other
          understanding, a notice, provided by the contracting officer, advising
          the union or workers' representative of the supplier's commitments
          under this clause, and must post copies of the notice in conspicuous
          places available to employees and applicants.

     d.   The supplier must comply with all provisions of Executive Order (EO)
          11246 of September 24, 1965, as amended, and of the rules,
          regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.

     e.   The supplier must furnish all information and reports required by the
          Executive Order, and by the rules, regulations, and orders of the
          Secretary, and must permit access to the supplier's books, records,
          and accounts by the Postal Service and the Secretary for purposes of
          investigation to ascertain compliance with these rules, regulations,
          and orders.

     f.   If the supplier fails to comply with this clause or with any of the
          said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled,
          terminated, or suspended, in whole or in part; the supplier may be
          declared ineligible for further contracts in accordance with the
          Executive Order; and other sanctions may be imposed and remedies
          invoked under the Executive Order, or by rule, regulation, or order of
          the Secretary, or as otherwise provided by law.

     g.   The supplier must insert this clause, including this paragraph g, in
          all subcontracts or purchase orders under this contract unless
          exempted by Secretary of Labor rules, regulations, or orders issued
          under the Executive Order. The supplier must take such action with
          respect to any such subcontract or purchase order as the Postal
          Service may direct as a means of enforcing the terms and conditions of
          this clause (including sanctions for noncompliance), provided,
          however, that if the supplier becomes involved in, or is threatened
          with, litigation as a result, the supplier may request the Postal
          Service to enter into the litigation to protect the interest of the
          Postal Service.

     h.   Disputes under this clause will be governed by the procedures in 41
          CFR 60-1.1.0017 and 1215-0150):

          (a)  Name, address, and social security number of each employee.

          (b)  The correct work classification, rate or rates of monetary wages
               paid and fringe benefits provided, rate or rates of fringe
               benefit payments in lieu thereof, and total daily and weekly
               compensation of each employee.

          (c)  The number of daily and weekly hours so worked by each employee.

          (d)  Any deductions, rebates, or refunds from the total daily or
               weekly compensation of each employee.

          (e)  A list of monetary wages and fringe benefits for those classes of
               service employees not included in the wage determination attached
               to this contract but for whom wage rates or fringe benefits have
               been determined by the interested parties or by the Administrator
               or authorized representative pursuant to paragraph b above. A
               copy of the report required by b.2(b) above is such a list.

                                        2

<PAGE>

          (f)  Any list of the predecessor supplier's employees furnished to the
               supplier pursuant to section 4.6(1)(2) of 29 CFR Part 4.

          (2)  The supplier must also make available a copy of this contract for
               inspection or transcription by authorized representatives of the
               Wage and Hour Division.

          (3)  Failure to make and maintain or to make available the records
               specified in this paragraph g for inspection and transcription is
               a violation of the regulations and this contract, and in the case
               of failure to produce these records, the contracting officer,
               upon direction of the Department of Labor and notification of the
               supplier, must take action to suspend any further payment or
               advance of funds until the violation ceases.

          (4)  The supplier must permit authorized representatives of the Wage
               and Hour Division to conduct interviews with employees at the
               worksite during normal working hours.

     h.   The supplier must unconditionally pay to each employee subject to the
          Service Contract Act all wages due free and clear and without
          subsequent deduction (except as otherwise provided by law or
          regulations, 29 CFR Part 4), rebate, or kickback on any account.
          Payments must be made no later than one pay period following the end
          of the regular pay period in which the wages were earned or accrued. A
          pay period under the Act may not be of any duration longer than
          semimonthly.

     i.   The contracting officer must withhold or cause to be withheld from the
          Postal Service supplier under this or any other contract with the
          supplier such sums as an appropriate official of the Department of
          Labor requests or the contracting officer decides may be necessary to
          pay underpaid employees employed by the supplier or subcontractor. In
          the event of failure to pay employees subject to the Act wages or
          fringe benefits due under the Act, the Postal Service may, after
          authorization or by direction of the Department of Labor and written
          notification to the supplier, suspend any further payment or advance
          of funds until the violations cease. Additionally, any failure to
          comply with the requirements of this clause may be grounds for
          termination of the right to proceed with the contract work. In this
          event, the Postal Service may enter into other contracts or
          arrangements for completion of the work, charging the supplier in
          default with any additional cost.

     j.   The supplier agrees to insert this clause in all subcontracts subject
          to the Act. The term "supplier," as used in this clause in any
          subcontract, is deemed to refer to the subcontractor, except in the
          term "supplier."

     k.   Service employee means any person engaged in the performance of this
          contract other than any person employed in a bona fide executive,
          administrative, or professional capacity, as those terms are defined
          in Part 541 of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, as of July 30,
          1976, and any subsequent revision of those regulations. The term
          includes all such persons regardless of any contractual relationship
          that may be alleged to exist between a supplier or subcontractor and
          them.

     l.

          (1)  If wages to be paid or fringe benefits to be furnished service
               employees employed by the supplier or a subcontractor under the
               contract are provided for in a collective bargaining agreement
               that is or will be effective during any period in which the
               contract is being performed, the supplier must report this fact
               to the contracting

                                        3

<PAGE>

               officer, together with full information as to the application and
               accrual of these wages and fringe benefits, including any
               prospective increases, to service employees engaged in work on
               the contract, and furnish a copy of the agreement. The report
               must be made upon starting performance of the contract, in the
               case of collective bargaining agreements effective at the time.
               In the case of agreements or provisions or amendments thereof
               effective at a later time during the period of contract
               performance, they must be reported promptly after their
               negotiation. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget
               under OMB control number 1215-0150.)

          (2)  Not less than 10 days before completion of any contract being
               performed at a Postal facility where service employees may be
               retained in the performance of a succeeding contract and subject
               to a wage determination containing vacation or other benefit
               provisions based upon length of service with a supplier
               (predecessor) or successor (section 4.173 of Regulations, 29 CFR
               Part 4), the incumbent supplier must furnish to the contracting
               officer a certified list of the names of all service employees on
               the supplier's or subcontractor's payroll during the last month
               of contract performance. The list must also contain anniversary
               dates of employment on the contract, either with the current or
               predecessor suppliers of each such service employee. The
               contracting officer must turn over this list to the successor
               supplier at the commencement of the succeeding contract.
               (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB
               control number 1215-0150.)

     m.   Rulings and interpretations of the Service Contract Act of 1965, as
          amended, are contained in Regulations, 29 CFR Part 4.

     n.

          (1)  By entering into this contract, the supplier and its officials
               certify that neither they nor any person or firm with a
               substantial interest in the supplier's firm are ineligible to be
               awarded government contracts by virtue of the sanctions imposed
               pursuant to section 5 of the Act.

          (2)  No part of this contract may be subcontracted to any person or
               firm ineligible for award of a government contract pursuant to
               section 5 of the Act.

          (3)  The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S.
               Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.

     o.   Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this clause, the
          following employees may be employed in accordance with the following
          variations, tolerances, and exemptions, which the Secretary of Labor,
          pursuant to section 4(b) of the Act before its amendment by Public Law
          92-473, found to be necessary and proper in the public interest or to
          avoid serious impairment of the conduct of government business:

          (1)  Apprentices, student-learners, and workers whose earning capacity
               is impaired by age, or physical or mental deficiency or injury
               may be employed at wages lower than the minimum wages otherwise
               required by section 2(a)(1) or 2(b)(1) of the Service Contract
               Act without diminishing any fringe benefits or cash payments in
               lieu thereof required under section 2(a)(2) of the Act, in
               accordance with the conditions and procedures prescribed for the
               employment of apprentices, student-learners, handicapped persons,
               and handicapped clients of sheltered workshops under section

                                        4

<PAGE>

               14 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, in the regulations
               issued by the Administrator (29 CFR Parts 520, 521, 524, and
               525).

          (2)  The Administrator will issue certificates under the Service
               Contract Act for the employment of apprentices, student-learners,
               handicapped persons, or handicapped clients of sheltered
               workshops not subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, or
               subject to different minimum rates of pay under the two Acts,
               authorizing appropriate rates of minimum wages (but without
               changing requirements concerning fringe benefits or supplementary
               cash payments in lieu thereof), applying procedures prescribed by
               the applicable regulations issued under the Fair Labor Standards
               Act of 1938 (29 CFR Parts 520, 521, 524, and 525).

          (3)  The Administrator will also withdraw, annul, or cancel such
               certificates in accordance with the regulations in Parts 525 and
               528 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

     p.   Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined
          rate for the work they perform when they are employed and individually
          registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with a
          State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the U.S. Department of
          Labor, or if no such recognized agency exists in a state, under a
          program registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training,
          Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Any
          employee not registered as an apprentice in an approved program must
          be paid the wage rate and fringe benefits contained in the applicable
          wage determination for the journeyman classification of work actually
          performed. The wage rates paid apprentices may not be less than the
          wage rate for their level of progress set forth in the registered
          program, expressed as the appropriate percentage of the journeyman's
          rate contained in the applicable wage determination. The allowable
          ratio of apprentices to journeymen employed on the contract work in
          any craft classification may not be greater than the ratio permitted
          to the supplier for its entire workforce under the registered program.

     q.   An employee engaged in an occupation in which he or she customarily
          and regularly receives more than $30 a month tips may have the amount
          of tips credited by the employer against the minimum wage required by
          section 2(a)(1) or section 2(b)(1) of the Act in accordance with
          section 3(m) of the Fair Labor Standards Act and Regulations, 29 CFR
          Part 531. However, the amount of this credit may not exceed $1.24 per
          hour beginning January 1, 1980, and $1.34 per hour after December 31,
          1980. To utilize this proviso:

          (1)  The employer must inform tipped employees about this tip credit
               allowance before the credit is utilized;

          (2)  The employees must be allowed to retain all tips (individually or
               through a pooling arrangement and regardless of whether the
               employer elects to take a credit for tips received);

          (3)  The employer must be able to show by records that the employee
               receives at least the applicable Service Contract Act minimum
               wage through the combination of direct wages and tip credit
               (approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB
               control number 1214-0017); and

                                        5

<PAGE>

          (4)  The use of tip credit must have been permitted under any
               predecessor collective bargaining agreement applicable by virtue
               of section 4(c) of the Act.

     PROVISION 4-3 REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS

     ***

     d.   Certification of Nonsegregated Facilities

          (1)  By submitting this proposal, the offeror certifies that it does
               not and will not maintain or provide for its employees any
               segregated facilities at any of its establishments, and that it
               does not and will not permit its employees to perform services at
               any location under its control where segregated facilities are
               maintained. The offeror agrees that a breach of this
               certification is a violation of the Equal Opportunity clause in
               this contract.

          (2)  As used in this certification, segregated facilities means any
               waiting rooms, work areas, rest rooms or wash rooms, restaurants
               or other eating areas, time clocks, locker rooms or other storage
               or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation
               or entertainment area, transportation, or housing facilities
               provided for employees that are segregated by explicit directive
               or are in fact segregated on the basis of race, color, religion,
               or national origin, because of habit, local custom, or otherwise.

          (3)  The offeror further agrees that (unless it has obtained identical
               certifications from proposed subcontractors for specific time
               periods) it will obtain identical certifications from proposed
               subcontractors before awarding subcontracts exceeding $10,000
               that are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity
               clause; that it will retain these certifications in its files;
               and that it will forward the following notice to these proposed
               subcontractors (except when they have submitted identical
               certifications for specific time periods):

               NOTICE: A certification of nonsegregated facilities must be
               submitted before the award of a subcontract exceeding $10,000
               that is not exempt from the Equal Opportunity clause. The
               certification may be submitted either for each subcontract or for
               all subcontracts during a period (quarterly, semiannually, or
               annually)."

     Except as expressly amended by this amendment, all other terms and
conditions of the IVAR shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any
provision of the IVAR by either Party shall be deemed a continuing waiver of any
matter by such Party.
