                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 10th day of
January 2002, and effective as of January 1, 2001, by and between Allin
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Employer"), and Richard W. Talarico
("Employee"), a resident of Pennsylvania.

                                   WITNESSETH:
                                   -----------

     WHEREAS, Employer and Employee entered into that certain Employment
Agreement as of June 15, 1998 (the "Prior Employment Agreement") pursuant to
which Employee was employed as Chief Executive Officer of the Employer on the
terms and conditions contained in the Prior Employment Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Employer desires to continue to employ Employee as its Chief
Executive Officer on a full-time basis and Employee is willing to continue to
serve on a full-time basis but Employer and Employee desire to replace the Prior
Employment Agreement with this Employment Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements
herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as
follows:

     Section 1. Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
     ---------  ----------
Agreement, Employer agrees to continue to employ Employee as Chief Executive
Officer of Employer, and Employee accepts such employment. Employee will
diligently and faithfully and in conformity with the directions of the Board of
Directors of Employer perform the duties of his employment hereunder, and he
will devote his best efforts and attention on a full-time basis to the
performance of said duties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may devote his time to various personal
endeavors provided such activities and services do not materially interfere or
conflict with the performance of his duties hereunder and provided further that
such activities as are consistent with the Employee's past practices will not be
deemed to materially interfere or conflict with the performance of his duties
hereunder.

     Section 2. Employment Period. The term of Employee's employment hereunder
     ---------  -----------------
shall begin on January 1, 2001 and shall continue through December 31, 2003
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 2
("Employment Period"). The Employment Period shall terminate upon (i) Employee's
death or, unless waived by Employer, his disability, either physical or mental
(as determined by Employer's physician) which may reasonably be anticipated to
render him unable, for a period of at least three (3) months, effectively to
perform the obligations, duties and responsibilities of Employee's employment
with Employer; or (ii) the termination of Employee's employment by the Board of
Directors with cause (as hereinafter defined); or (iii) the passage of one
hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of delivery by either party to the
other of his or its election to terminate this Agreement. As used herein,
"cause" shall mean (i) dishonest, fraudulent or illegal conduct; (ii)
misappropriation of Employer funds; (iii) conviction of a felony; (iv) excessive
use of alcohol; (v) use of controlled substances or other addictive behavior;
(vi) unethical business conduct; (vii) breach of any statutory or common law
duty of loyalty to Employer; and (viii) action by Employee which is prejudicial
or injurious to the business or goodwill of Employer or a material breach of
this Agreement.

     Section 3. Employment Compensation and Other Benefits.
     ---------  ------------------------------------------

     (a) Salary. For services performed by Employee during the Employment
         ------
Period, Employer will pay to Employee a salary of One Hundred Seventy Five
Thousand Dollars ($l75,000) per annum, payable in equal semi-monthly
installments of $7,291.76, prorated for any partial period of employment. Future
increases or decreases in salary during the term of this Agreement will be
subject to Section 3(f).

                                        1
<PAGE>

     (b) Benefits. During the term of his employment hereunder, Employee will be
         --------
entitled to the following:

          (i)  payment by Employer of the premiums for medical insurance
               coverage for himself and his family consistent with programs from
               time to time in effect for the employees of Employer;

          (ii) four weeks of paid vacation each year of employment; and

          (iii) such other benefits as are available to other employees of
                Employer generally.

     (c) Business Expenses. Employer will reimburse Employee for reasonable
         -----------------
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him, in accordance with Employer's policies
as in effect from time to time, for entertainment, travel, lodging and similar
items in connection with the business of Employer, provided that Employee
properly accounts for and promptly submits appropriate supporting documentation
with respect to all such expenses.

     (d) Discretionary Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall
         -------------------
have the opportunity to earn an annual bonus in accordance with a Company annual
bonus program to be established by the Compensation Committee and approved by
the Board of Directors of the Company. The payment of any annual bonus under any
such program shall be contingent upon the achievement of certain corporate
and/or individual performance goals established by the Board in its sole
discretion. In general, annual bonuses shall be based on goals which enhance
shareholder value. One or more of the following may be established as acceptable
performance goals: Company revenues, pre-tax income, earnings before income
taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, return on equity, total
shareholder return, or other measures of corporate performance which would be in
the best interests of the shareholders.

A discretionary bonus for a particular calendar year will be payable to the
Employee only if the Employee is employed on the last day of the calendar year
for which the bonus is earned unless (i) cessation of employment prior to year
end is due to his death or disability or follows (for any reason) a Change in
Control (as defined in subsection 3(e)) during that calendar year or (ii) agreed
upon goals were already attained for that calendar year prior to cessation of
his employment unless the Employee is terminated for "cause" (as defined in
Section 2).

In the event of a Change in Control the Board will determine the bonus to be
awarded for the year in which the Change in Control occurs and such payment will
be made within sixty days after the Change in Control.

In the event that cessation of employment is due to Employee's death or
disability the Board will award the pro-rata portion of bonus that would have
been due as if the Employee had completed the year. For purposes of this
paragraph the performance of the company as of the date of cessation will be
annualized through the end of the year.

     (e) Stock Option Plan. Employee will be entitled to participate in
         -----------------
Employer's stock option plans. All options to purchase stock of Employer granted
to Employee prior to February 13, 2001 shall vest upon the earlier to occur of
(a) May 15, 2001, and (b) the date on which (i) the termination of this
Agreement without cause occurs, (ii) Employer sells all or substantially all of
its assets, (iii) Employer merges with another entity in a transaction in which
Employer is not the surviving corporation, or (iv) any person (as that term is
used in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) other than the shareholders of Employer (as existing on January
1, 2001) becomes the Beneficial Owner (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly of 40% or more of the common stock of
Employer (collectively, an event described in (ii), (iii) or (iv) is referred to
as a "Change in Control"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, vested options granted
to Employee prior to February 13, 2001 will be immediately forfeited, and will
no longer be exercisable, upon the termination of the Employee for "cause," as
defined in Section 2.

     (f) Annual Merit Review. Annually, on or before November 1 of each year
         -------------------
Employer will conduct an annual review of Employee's performance under this
Agreement and, if deemed appropriate, implement adjustments to this Section 3
for the following year.

     (g) Severance Pay. If Employee's employment is terminated, during the
         -------------
Employment Period, (a) by Employer without cause, or (b) by Employer or Employee
in conjunction with, or within one year after, the occurrence of a Change in
Control, Employee shall receive:

          (i)  semi-monthly severance payments equal to the semi-monthly base
               salary payment which Employee was receiving immediately prior to
               the termination, until the one-year anniversary of

                                        2
<PAGE>

               the date of termination. For so long as Employee is entitled to
               receive severance payments, the Employer will continue, at its
               expense, coverage for the Employee (and his eligible dependents)
               under the Employer's group health plan. The period of time
               Employer continues Employee's coverage will not reduce the period
               of time Employee may continue coverage at his expense under
               COBRA;

          (iii) the right to convert each of his vested options to purchase
               stock of Employer granted prior to February 13, 2001 into the
               right to receive cash in an amount equal to the difference
               between the fair market value of the stock on the date the right
               is exercised and the exercise price of the option from which the
               right was converted. These rights may be exercised at any time
               prior to the "Expiration Date", as defined in Employee's stock
               option agreement from which the right was converted,
               notwithstanding the expiration of the options based on Employee's
               termination prior to the "Expiration Date". Employee's options
               granted prior to February 13, 2001 will automatically convert
               into such rights immediately prior to the day such options
               otherwise terminate based on the termination of Employee's
               employment with Employer.

     (h) Change in Control Bonus. Employee shall receive a single sum payment of
Two Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($225,000) upon a Change in
Control. In the event that Employer sells a significant portion (instead of all)
of its assets, Employee shall receive a portion of such sum as determined by the
Board.

     Section 4. Conditions of Continued Employment. As conditions of his
     ---------  ----------------------------------
continued employment, Employee covenants and agrees as follows:

     (a) that, during the Employment Period, he will devote his full time,
services and attention and best efforts to the performance of his duties and to
the promotion of the business and interests of Employer except as permitted in
Section 1;

securities exchange), or as an officer, director, manager, member, employee,
partner, joint venturer, proprietor or otherwise, engage in, become interested
in, consult with, lend to or borrow from, advise or negotiate for or on behalf
of, any business which is of the type in which Employer or any affiliate or
subsidiary of Employer engages during the Employment Period;

     (c) that, during the Employment Period, and for a period two (2) years
thereafter, he will not solicit any customer of Employer or any customer of any
affiliate of subsidiary of Employer, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of
enticing such customers to do business with anyone other than Employer;

     (d) that, during the Employment Period, and for a period of two (2) years
thereafter, he will not solicit (or employ or cause to be employed other than by
Employer) other employees of Employer or any affiliate or subsidiary of
Employer, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of enticing them to leave
their employment with Employer or any affiliate or subsidiary of Employer;

     (e) that, during the Employment Period and for a period of two (2) years
thereafter, he will make full and complete disclosure of the existence of this
Agreement and the content of this Section 4 to all prospective employers with
whom he may discuss possible employment;

     (f) that, he will refrain from directly or indirectly disclosing, making
available or using or causing to be used in any manner whatsoever, any
information of Employer of a proprietary or confidential nature (including
without limitation, information regarding inventions, processes, formulas,
systems, plans, programs, studies, techniques, "know-how," trade secrets, income
or earnings, tax data, customer lists and contracts to which Employer is a
party, but excluding any such information which may be in the public domain
through proper means) and, upon termination of his employment, such information,
to the extent that it has been reduced to writing (including any and all copies
thereof), together with all copies of all forms, documents and materials of
every kind, whether confidential or otherwise, shall forthwith be returned to

                                        3
<PAGE>

the Employer and shall not be retained by Employee or furnished to any third

     (g) that, he will refrain from any disparagement, direct or indirect,
through innuendo or otherwise, of Employer or any of its employees, agents,
officers, directors, shareholders or affiliates;

     (h) that, during the Employment Period, he will not, without the prior
written consent in each case of the Board of Directors of Employer: (i)
participate actively in any other business interests or investments which would
conflict with his responsibilities under this Agreement except as permitted in
Section 1, or (ii) borrow money from, or lend to, customers (except those
commercial institutions whose business it is to lend money) or individuals or
firms from which Employer or any affiliate or subsidiary of Employer buys
services, materials, equipment or supplies, or with whom Employer or any
affiliate or subsidiary does business;

affiliate or subsidiary of Employer, any information relating to Employer or any
affiliate or subsidiary of Employer or their business operations; and

     (k) that he will promptly and voluntarily advise the Board of Directors of
Employer of any activities which might result in a conflict of interest with his
duties to Employer hereunder, and, further, will make such other and further

     Employee represents and warrants to Employer that, notwithstanding the
operation of the covenants contained in this Section 4, upon the termination of
his employment hereunder, Employee will be able to obtain employment for the
purpose of earning a livelihood.

     Section 5. Injunctive Relief. Because the services to be performed by
     ---------  -----------------
Employee hereunder are of a special, unique, unusual, confidential extraordinary
and intellectual character which character renders such services unique and
because Employee will acquire by reason of his employment and association with
Employer an extensive knowledge of Employer's trade secrets, customers,
procedures, and other confidential information, the parties hereto recognize and
acknowledge that, in the event of a breach or threat of breach by Employee of
any of the terms and provisions contained in Section 4 or Section 6 of this
Agreement, monetary damages alone to Employer would not be an adequate remedy
for a breach of any of such terms and provisions. Therefore, it is agreed that
in the event of a beach or threat of a breach of any of the provisions of
Section 4 or Section 6 of this Agreement by Employee, Employer shall be entitled
to an immediate injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining
Employee, as well as any third parties including successor employers of Employee
whose joinder may be necessary to effect full and complete relief, from
committing or continuing to commit a breach of such provisions without the
showing or proving of actual damages. Any preliminary injunction or restraining
order shall continue in full force and effect until any and all disputes between
the parties to such injunction or order regarding this Agreement have been
finally resolved. Employee hereby agrees to pay all costs of suit incurred by
Employer, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, in obtaining
any such injunction or order. Employee hereby waives any right he may have to
require Employer to post a bond or other security with respect to obtaining or
continuing any such injunction or temporary restraining order and, further,
hereby releases Employer, its officers, directors, employees and agents from and
waives any claim for damages against them which he might have with respect to
Employer obtaining in good faith any injunctions or restraining order pursuant
to this Agreement.

     Section 6. Absence of Restrictions. Employee will promptly submit to
     ---------  -----------------------
Employer written disclosures of all inventions, improvements, discoveries,
technological innovations and new ideas, relating to Employer's business,
whether or not patentable (hereinafter called "Inventions"), which are directly
or indirectly made, conceived, created or prepared by Employee, alone or jointly
with others, during the Employment Period. Worldwide right, title and interest
in and to the intellectual property rights (including but not limited to
copyrights created in, patents to, or any other form of legal protection as may
be obtained or obtainable in the United States of America or any foreign
country), relating to all such Inventions that shall be within the existing or
contemplated scope of Employer's business at the time such inventions are made
or conceived or which result from or are suggested by any work Employee or
others may do for or on behalf of Employer, shall belong to Employer. Employee
will assign all right, title and interest in and to such intellectual property

                                        4
<PAGE>

rights to Employer, and upon request of Employer, will at any time during the
Employment Period and after termination of Employee's employment for any reason,
execute all proper papers for use in applying for, obtaining, maintaining and
enforcing such copyrights, patents or other legal protection as Employer may
desire and will execute and deliver all proper assignments thereof, when so
requested, without remuneration but at the expense of Employer.

                               PURCHASE AGREEMENT

        THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into this 9th day
of February, 2001 between Orbital Sciences Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Orbital") and Orbital Imaging Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("ORBIMAGE").

Radarsat-2 License Agreement and Grant of Territorial License dated February 9,
2001 by and among Orbital, ORBIMAGE and MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates
Ltd., a Canadian corporation ("MDA") (the "MDA Agreement") pursuant to which
Orbital has agreed to make certain accommodations to MDA in accordance with this
Agreement.

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

1.      AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE

        (a)     Subject to the conditions set forth in subparagraph (b) below
and pursuant to the terms set forth herein, Orbital hereby agrees to purchase
receivables from ORBIMAGE for an aggregate purchase price of up to $10,000,000,
which receivables amount would be discounted to the present value at the time of
purchase at a discount rate sufficient to enable Orbital to recover the purchase
price plus interest on the unrecovered amount of the purchase price at an annual
rate of 8% (assuming payment consistent with prior payment patterns). Orbital
will make up to two $5,000,000 cash purchases, due and payable in full no later
than the due date of any applicable license payment owed by ORBIMAGE under the
MDA Agreement,, of (i) receivables under contracts for satellite imagery or
other ORBIMAGE products and services generated by the ORBVIEW-2 satellite and
(ii) such other receivables of ORBIMAGE reasonably acceptable to each of
ORBIMAGE and Orbital, which, when added to the ORBVIEW-2 receivables, are
reasonably expected to generate payments in the aggregate of not less than $4
million in any given year. Receivables proposed to be sold to Orbital must be
reasonably satisfactory to Orbital.

        (b)     Orbital's obligation to make each purchase set forth in
subparagraph (a) above is conditioned upon the following:

                (i)     ORBIMAGE shall have notified Orbital in writing five
(5) business days before a license fee payment is due under the MDA Agreement
that ORBIMAGE will be unable to make such payment to MDA due to financial
hardship;

                (ii)    the Third Amended and Restated Credit and Reimbursement
Agreement between Orbital, Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York as
collateral agent and the other banks shall be matured in accordance with its
terms on July 1, 2002 and no loans or commitments to loan to Orbital shall
remain outstanding; and

<PAGE>

                (iii)   Such receivables shall be valid and of good quality
(including lack of any encumbrances continuing in effect on or after the
purchase date and free of claims of offset), and ORBIMAGE shall have taken all
actions necessary either to cause an assignment of the contracts or rights to
the receivables to Orbital to be effective concurrent with the installment
purchase or to make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Orbital for the
continued collection of the receivables by ORBIMAGE and the prompt remission of
amounts collected by ORBIMAGE to Orbital. Orbital is entitled to make any
filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code with and submit notices to
account debtors as necessary with respect to the receivables.

        (c)     ORBIMAGE agrees that it shall take such actions that are
reasonably necessary to ensure that the contracts relating to the purchased
receivables continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, or
on terms no less favorable to Orbital.

        (d)     ORBIMAGE shall not enter into any agreement with MDA that
affects the amounts of the license fee payments or their due dates under the MDA
Agreement without Orbital's prior consent, unless such agreements cause such
payments to be decreased or postponed.

2.      IRREVOCABLE DIRECTION TO PAY; ASSIGNMENT

        (a)     ORBIMAGE hereby irrevocably directs Orbital to remit any
payments to be made hereunder directly to MDA to be applied to ORBIMAGE's
Radarsat-2 license fee obligations under the MDA Agreement.

        (b)     ORBIMAGE hereby assigns to MDA all amounts to become due from
Orbital hereunder.

3.      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

        (a)     Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has full
right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations
hereunder.

        (b)     Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other, and
its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives from and against
all claims, demands or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of
third parties arising from or in connection with the other party's breach of any
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.

        (c)     IN NO EVENT SHALL ORBITAL OR ORBIMAGE BE LIABLE TO EACH OTHER
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAD OR SHOULD HAVE HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.

4.      CONSENT TO ASSUMPTION. Orbital acknowledges that it is aware (a) of
ORBIMAGE's current financial condition and results of operations and (b) that
ORBIMAGE is considering various alternatives to restructure its operations,
which alternatives include without limitation the filing of a petition under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (together with the

<PAGE>

Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and all other rules and judicial decisions
and orders thereunder, the "Bankruptcy Law"). In the event ORBIMAGE files such a
petition, Orbital hereby expressly consents to the assumption of this Agreement
by ORBIMAGE (subject to applicable bankruptcy court approval under Bankruptcy
Code Sections 364 and 365, as applicable) in any proceeding under Bankruptcy
Law, notwithstanding the existence of any provisions under Bankruptcy Law that
would provide Orbital with a defense to such assumption.

5.      MISCELLANEOUS

        (a)     Neither party shall assign its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

        (b)     All notices, requests and other communications to any party
hereunder shall be in writing (including any facsimile transmission or similar
writing), and shall be sent either by telecopy, by reputable overnight courier
or delivered in person addressed as follows:

                        Attention:  General Counsel

                (ii)    If to ORBIMAGE, to it at:

                        Attention:  Gil Rye

                        with a copy to General Counsel

or to such other persons or addresses as any party may designate by written
notice to any other. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be
effective (A) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted and the
appropriate answerback is received; (B) if given by reputable overnight courier,
on one (1) business day after being delivered or (C) if given by any other
means, when received at the address specified in this paragraph.

        (c)     This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties, their
successors and permitted assigns.

        (d)     This Agreement contains the entire understanding between Orbital
and ORBIMAGE and supersedes all prior written and oral understandings relating
to the subject hereof. No representations, agreements, modifications or
understandings not contained herein shall be valid or effective unless agreed to
in writing and signed by both parties. Any modification or amendment of this
Agreement must be in writing and signed by all parties.

<PAGE>

        (e)     The construction, interpretation and performance of this
Agreement, as well as the legal relations of the parties arising hereunder,
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to the conflict or choice of law
provisions hereof. The parties agree that service of process may be made upon
each other in any such action in the same manner in which notice may be given
pursuant to this Agreement. No party may bring any action for a claim under this
Agreement later than one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement;
provided that claims under any provision of this Agreement that survive
termination of this Agreement may be brought within one (1) year of the later of
the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and actual knowledge
thereof by the party asserting such claim.

        (f)     It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by any
party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege hereunder. No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of any term or
condition. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the party sought to be
bound.

        (g)     If any part of this Agreement shall be held unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect,
unless such unenforceability impairs the fundamental purpose or expectations of
the parties hereto.

        (h)     Headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other
purpose.

        (i)     ORBIMAGE and Orbital are independent contractors to one another,
and with respect to this Agreement, no party has the authority to bind any other
in any way or to any third party, and nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as granting any party the right or authority to act as a
representative, agent, employee or joint venturer of any other.

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