entire offer of employment, and that there are no promises nor conditions
implied or expressed that are not contained within this letter. We wish to
further advise you that your employment by the Company will be on an “at will”

	Subject:	 	Letter of Understanding for International Employment

This letter confirms a mutual understanding of the terms and conditions
applying to your international employment between you (“the Employee”) and LCC
International, Inc. (“the Company”). Such employment may be subject to medical
clearances and is subject to securing a passport, foreign government clearance,
and your acceptance of the terms and conditions outlined in this letter. If
the terms are acceptable to you, please sign and return the attached copy of
the letter to Andrea Farrell of Human Resources.

Your point of origin for this assignment has been designated as McLean,
Virginia. Your host location has been designated as Australia.

The anticipated effective period for your international employment is from on
or about March 1, 2002 to March 1, 2005. It is anticipated that the assignment
will be for a period of approximately three years, depending on the project
duration; however, the actual duration of the assignment is dependent upon both
the time necessary for you to complete the required duties, as determined by
LCC, and the budget available to support these tasks. The length of the
assignment may be extended if mutually agreed upon by you and the Company, and
may also be shortened based upon the needs of the Company, at the Company’s
sole discretion. In any event, changes to assignment length must be confirmed
in writing.

You will continue to be paid in the United States through your normal salary
account. US Social Security and other US benefit contributions will continue
to be deducted from your base salary.

The following is a description of the allowances provided to you in US Dollars
specific to the assignment:

	 	 	 
	House Hunting	 	You and your spouse will be provided with economy airfare to and from Australia to
procure housing.
	 
	Moving Travel Costs	 	You and your spouse will be provided with business class airfare for the actual
move.
	 
	Shipment of Household
Goods	 	Shipment of your household goods will be paid for by LCC in accordance with the
International Assignment Policy. We anticipate the relocation cost to be at or below
$10,000.00.
	 
	Move-in Allowance	 	
You will be provided with one-month base pay: $17,500.00, as a move-in allowance. This
amount is subject to normal tax withholdings.
	 
	Housing Allowance	 	
You will be provided with a housing allowance of $4,041.46 per month.
	 
	Car Allowance	 	
You will be provided with a car allowance of $750.00 per month.
	 
	Trips Home	 	
You and your spouse will be provided one round trip, business class, to the U.S. per year.
	 
	Return Shipment of
Household Goods	 	
At the completion of the assignment, the Company will pay for the return shipment of
household up to the cost of the initial payment.

In addition to the allowances above, if necessary, a cash advance of up to
$40,000.00 will also be available to further ease your transition to this
assignment, to be repaid over a 1-year period through payroll deduction.

LCC will tax equalize you to ensure you continue to bear approximately the same
tax costs as would be incurred by a colleague assigned in McLean, VA. Excluded
from the tax equalization will be income generated from outside/personal

 

 

income. Outside personal income includes interest, dividends, capital gains
and losses, rental income and losses, self-
employment income and losses, spouse’s compensation, income and losses from
pass through entities such as partnerships and trusts, retirement or other
non-LCC related income. Also excluded from tax equalization is any
compensation from the grant, exercise, or vest of stock options. Itemized
deductions used for tax equalization purposes will be your actual or standard
itemized deduction provided by the United States.

If your are terminated for reasons other than cause, in exchange for signing
the Company’s Employee Agreement and General Release, you will be paid 6 months
of your then current base salary as severance.

		
	 	For the purposes of this agreement, “Cause” is defined as (I)
conviction of a crime involving fraud, material dishonesty or theft
against LCC or a felony involving moral turpitude; (ii) willful
compromise of trade secrets or other proprietary information of LCC;
(iii) willful breach in any material respect to the terms of any
non-solicitation, non-compete, or confidentiality agreement between
you an LCC; (iv) willful failure or refusal to perform material
assigned duties consistent with your title and responsibilities; or
(v) engaging in gross or willful misconduct that causes material harm
to the business and operations of LCC or a subsidiary, the
continuation of which will continue to substantially and materially
harm the business and operations of LCC or a subsidiary in the future.

LCC will pay for the cost of obtaining a work permit in the host country and
any associated legal fees.

The terms, conditions, allowances and other employment policies and procedures
of the Company for US Employees will apply to you and any dependents that will
reside with you overseas.

It is understood that, in accepting this assignment, you agree that you will
not engage in any employment or business enterprises that would in any way
conflict with your service with, and the interest of, the Company and that you
will refrain from local political activity and will not accept any bribes or
gifts.

You agree that you may be reassigned at any time to any of the Company’s
foreign or US locations and that such reassignment will depend strictly upon
the future needs of the Company.

continue throughout your international assignment, the Company reserves the
right to change any of the terms of this letter including, but not limited to,
the duration of your international assignment.

This agreement is made in the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States of
America, and shall be subject to the state and federal laws thereof. Each
party consents to exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and/or state
