Article 1. Employment and Duties

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Company hereby employs the
Executive as Senior Vice President, Sector Manager for the Defense Operations Integration Sector
(the “Sector”). The Executive shall have all of the powers, duties and responsibilities customary
to his position as are reasonably necessary to the management of the Sector and as may be assigned
to him from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The Executive shall further
be responsible for supervising and directing other officers and employees of the Company. The
Executive’s employment is at-will and for an indefinite period. The Executive or the Company may
terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.

Article 2. Compensation and Benefits

The Company shall continue to pay the Executive a Base Salary not less than Three Hundred and
Ten Thousand and Twenty Seven Dollars ($310,027) per year, subject to adjustments in the discretion
of the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Company shall further provide to the Executive all
benefits to which other executives of the Company are entitled, as commensurate with the
Executive’s position, subject to the eligibility requirements and other provisions of such benefits
and other perquisites as determined by the Board. Such benefits and perquisites may include bonus,
long term incentives, group term life insurance, comprehensive health and major medical insurance,
dental and life insurance, disability, automobile allowance and club memberships. All such
compensation and benefits shall be subject to all appropriate federal and state withholding taxes
and payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company.

Article 3. Employment Termination and Severance

3.1. (a) Without Cause. During the Employment Period, other than during a Potential Change in
Control Protection Period or within the period ending twenty-four (24) calendar months immediately
following a Change in Control as specified in Article 5 below, the Company may terminate the
Executive’s employment for reasons other than Cause, by notifying the Executive in writing of the
Company’s intent to terminate with the effective date of termination specified by the Company in
the written notice. Upon the effective date of termination under this Article 3.1, if the Executive
timely signs a General Release and does not revoke or violate such General Release, the Company
shall be obligated to pay to the Executive (subject to all appropriate federal and state
withholding taxes):

     (i) A lump-sum cash payment equal to one (1) times the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in
effect immediately prior to the termination.

     (ii) A lump-sum cash payment equal to one (1) times the Executive’s actual bonus for the last
complete fiscal year prior to the effective date of termination, if any.

     (iii) Base Salary and all other benefits due the Executive through the effective date of
termination.

     (iv) The unpaid bonus, if any, with respect to the last complete fiscal year preceding the
effective date of termination (such bonus, if any, to be determined in the manner it would have
been determined and payable at the time it would have been payable hereunder had there been no
termination of the Employment Period).

     (v) To the extent that the Executive is eligible for and elects to receive medical and/or
dental benefits pursuant to the provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(“COBRA”) for himself and/or any qualifying beneficiaries, the Company shall pay on the Executive’s
behalf, or reimburse the Executive for, the amount of the applicable COBRA that exceeds the amount
of premium payable by the Executive for the same level of coverage immediately prior to the
effective date of termination. Any such COBRA premium payment by the Company that constitutes
taxable income to the Executive shall be grossed up by the Company, assuming an applicable income
tax rate of forty percent (40%). Payments under this paragraph shall cease at the earlier of (i)
the end of the first month in which the Executive is no longer eligible for COBRA for any reason
(other than death or eligibility for Medicare, provided that COBRA coverage continues for any
qualified beneficiary), or (ii) eighteen (18) months after the Executive’s date of termination.
The Executive shall notify the Company as soon as practicable after he ceases to be eligible for
COBRA coverage due to coverage under the group health plan of another employer.

     (vi) All other rights and benefits that the Executive is vested in, pursuant to other plans
and programs of the Company.

     (b) Retirement. If the Executive’s employment terminates due to Retirement (as defined the
Executive’s termination of employment upon reaching age sixty-five (65) for any reason other than
death, Disability (as defined below) or Cause (as defined in Article 3.3), the Company shall be
obligated to pay the Executive the amounts and benefits described in Article 3.1(a)(iii), (iv), (v)
and (vi).

     (c) Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Disability
(as defined as in the Company’s long-term disability plan), the Company shall be obligated to pay
the Executive or, if applicable, the Executive’s estate: The amounts and benefits described in
Article 3.1(a) (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), and an additional lump-sum cash payment equal to the
Executive’s Base Salary for a period of six (6) months; provided, however, that such lump sum
payment shall be offset by any payments under the Company’s short-term disability policy or under
any long-term disability plan or insurance program maintained by the Company.

     (d) Voluntary Termination. The Executive may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving
the Company written notice of intent to terminate. The Executive will receive the
amounts and benefits described in Article 3.1(a) (iii), (iv) and (vi), but shall not be paid any
bonus with respect to the fiscal year in which voluntary termination occurs.

2

 

3.2. General Release. As a condition precedent to receiving any of the payments and benefits set
forth in Article 3.1 above, upon the effective date of termination under Article 3.1(a), (b) (c) or
(d) above, the Executive (or his estate as the case may be) agrees to execute and return to the
Company, and shall not revoke or attempt to revoke, a general release (a “General Release”) in a
form acceptable to the Company, within thirty (30) days following the effective date of
termination, that (i) releases the Company and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and
agents from any and all claims that the Executive may have in connection with his employment or
termination thereof, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, and (ii) the Executive
affirmatively agrees not to violate the provisions of Article 4.

3.3. Termination for Cause. In the event that the Executive is terminated for Cause, the Executive
will not be entitled to any severance or other benefits upon termination other than those accrued
benefits provided to employees pursuant to existing Company policy. “Cause” means:

     (a) The Executive’s commission of a felony of or a crime involving moral turpitude; or

     (b) The Executive committing an act constituting fraud, deceit, or material misrepresentation
with respect to the Company; or

     (c) In the Company’s reasonable discretion, the Executive committing any negligent or willful
act or omission that causes material damage (by reason, without limitation, of financial exposure
or loss, damage to reputation or goodwill, or exposure to civil or criminal penalties or other
prosecutorial action by any governmental authority) to the Company or any parent or subsidiary
corporation thereof; or

     (d) Willful or material violation of any provision of the Company’s Code of Ethics, Conduct
and Responsibility; or

     (e) Willful and material misstatement knowingly made or caused to be made by the Executive in
any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission; or

     (f) Willful or material violation of any of the covenants contained in Article 4, as
applicable.

For purposes of this Article 3.3, no act or omission by the Executive shall be considered “willful”
unless it is done or omitted in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action
or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act or failure to act based upon: (a)
authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board; or (b) advice of counsel for
the Company, shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Executive in
good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

3

 

The effective date of termination shall be the date specified by the Company. If this Agreement is
terminated for Cause, the Company shall be obligated to pay the Executive’s Base Salary through the
effective date of termination, and the Executive shall immediately thereafter forfeit all rights
and benefits (other than vested benefits) the Executive would otherwise have been entitled to
receive under this Agreement.

3.4. Severance Payment Schedule. Payments due to the Executive or, if applicable, the Executive’s
estate, pursuant to termination events described in this Article 3, shall be paid in two (2)
installments as follows: (a) an amount equal to six months of annual salary set forth in Article
3.1(a)(i) and one-half of the total bonus amount set forth in Article 3.1(a)(ii) (the “Severance
Installment Payment”), and the amounts set forth in Article 3.1(a)(iii) and (iv), within thirty
(30) days after the expiration of any applicable statutory period in which revocation of the
General Release is permitted (the “First Installment”); and (b) an amount equal to the Severance
Installment Payment six (6) months from the date of payment of the First Installment (the “Second
Installment) (the “Final Installment). The Company’s obligation to pay severance amounts due to
the Executive pursuant to this Article 3, to the extent not already paid, shall cease immediately
and such payments will be forfeited if the Executive violates any condition described in Article 3
or 4. The parties intend and agree that any payments contemplated by this Agreement constituting
“deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A shall comply with the requirements of
such section. No deferred compensation payable hereunder shall be subject to acceleration or to
any change in the specified time or method of payment, except as otherwise provided under this
Agreement and consistent with Code Section 409A. In no event shall the Company have any liability
or obligation with respect to taxes for which Executive may become liable as a result of the
application of Code Section 409A.

Article 4. Noncompetition, Confidentiality, Nonsolicitation, and Ownership

4.1. Noncompetition. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of his employment
with the Company, he has or will have access to valuable proprietary information not known to the
public that the Company possesses, including but not limited to, methods of operation, business
strategies and plans, financial information, marketing materials, ideas, trade secrets, customer
contacts and other customer information (“Proprietary Information”). The Executive further
acknowledges and agrees that the Company has legitimate business interests in assuring that his
unique knowledge of the Company, including but not limited to that knowledge regarding and relating
to the foregoing information, is not disclosed or converted to the use of entities or individuals
in competition with the Company. The Executive therefore agrees that during the Employment Period
and for a period of one year after the date of termination or cessation of the Executive’s
employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, he will not, directly or indirectly, compete
with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates by providing services or by being an officer,
director, employee, consultant, agent, advisor, shareholder or owner to or of any other person,
partnership, association, corporation, or other entity that is a “Competing Business,” except that
he may have an ownership interest of up to two percent (2%) of a Competing Business which is a
public company. As used herein, a “Competing Business” is any business whose activities relate to
the products or services of the same or similar type as the products or services which are sold
(or, pursuant to an existing business plan, will be sold) to paying customers of the Company or its
subsidiaries or affiliates, and for which the Executive
has the responsibility to plan, develop, manage, market, or oversee, or had any such responsibility
within the Executive’s most recent twenty-four (24) months of employment with the Company.
Following termination of employment, the Executive may request in writing an exception to the
foregoing provision from the Company for prospective employment, which exception will be granted if
the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that such prospective employment will not unduly or
materially compete with or otherwise interfere with the business of the Company.

4

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Executive agrees that, for a period of one year after the date of
termination or cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever,
he will not, directly or indirectly, intentionally entice, induce or solicit, or attempt to entice,
induce or solicit, any individual or entity having a current or prospective business relationship
with the Company, whether as a consultant, client, customer or otherwise, to terminate or cease
such relationship with the Company, or to fail to enter into or renew such relationship with the
Company.

The parties agree that the above restrictions on competition are completely severable and
independent agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, shall survive the
termination of this Agreement for whatever reason. The parties further agree that any invalidity or
unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on competition shall not render invalid or
unenforceable any remaining restrictions on competition. Additionally, should a court of competent
jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Article 4.1 is too broad to be
enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to such narrower scope
as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
non-competition and non-solicitation provisions herein are expressly assignable to any successor of
the Company as set forth in Article 6(b).

4.2. Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Period and for a one year after the termination or
cessation of his employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, the Executive shall not, on
his own behalf or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation, or entity:
(a) directly, indirectly, or through a third party hire or cause to be hired; (b) directly,
indirectly, or through a third party solicit; or (c) in any manner attempt to influence or induce
any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates to leave the employment of the
Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, nor shall he use or disclose to any person, partnership,
association, corporation, or other entity any information obtained concerning the names and
addresses the Company’s employees. The Executive further agrees and acknowledges that the Company
has confidentiality and non-competition agreements with certain of its employees, and he agrees
that he will not interfere with any such agreements. The parties agree that the above restrictions
on hiring and solicitation are completely severable and independent agreements supported by good
and valuable consideration and, as such, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for
whatever reason. The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or
more of such restrictions on hiring and solicitation shall not render invalid or unenforceable any
remaining restrictions on hiring and solicitation. Additionally, should a court of competent
jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Article 4.2 is too broad to be
enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to such narrower scope
as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable.

5

 

4.3. Nondisclosure of Trade Secrets. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2)
years thereafter, the Executive agrees: (a) to treat all Proprietary Information in a secret and
confidential manner, take all reasonable steps to maintain such secrecy, and comply with all
applicable procedures established by the Company with respect to maintaining the secrecy and
confidentiality of Proprietary Information; (b) to use Proprietary Information only as necessary
and proper in the performance of the Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company; and (c)
except as required in this Article 4.3, to not directly or indirectly, without the written consent
of the Company, reproduce, copy, disseminate, publish, disclose, provide or otherwise make
available to any person, firm, corporation, agency or other entity, any Proprietary Information.
Under no circumstances shall the Executive use, directly or indirectly, any such Proprietary
Information for his personal gain or profit.

4.4. Nondisparagement. During the Employment Period and at all times thereafter, the Executive
agrees to not disparage the Company or otherwise make comments harmful to the Company’s reputation.

4.5. Ownership. The Executive agrees that all inventions, copyrightable material, business and/or
technical information, marketing plans, customer lists, and trade secrets which arise out of the
performance of this Agreement are the property of the Company.

Article 5. Change in Control

thereafter; provided, however, that any amendment to the definition of Change in Control shall not

     (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Potential Change in Control” means the date
when any of the following actions occur: (i) The Company enters into an agreement the consummation

     (b) The term “Potential Change in Control Protection Period” means the period beginning on the
date an event described in the preceding subparagraph occurs and ending (i) with respect to a
Potential Change in Control described in clause (a)(i) above, upon the abandonment or termination

Control or such earlier date as may be determined by the Board.

     (c) If a Change in Control occurs within the Potential Change in Control Protection Period,
the Potential Change in Control Protection Period shall automatically terminate on the date of the
Change in Control and the Change in Control protections described herein shall simultaneously
commence.

     (d) In addition to the foregoing, any termination of the Executive at the request of a third
party in contemplation of a Change in Control or Potential Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred during a Potential Change in Control Protection Period.

5.4. Change in Control Severance Benefits. If, at any time during the Potential Change in Control
Protection Period or within the period ending twenty-four (24) calendar months after the occurrence
of a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated involuntarily by the Company
without Cause (as provided in Article 3.3) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below),
then, if the Executive timely signs a General Release and does not revoke or violate such General

Unless the Executive becomes Disabled, the Executive’s right to terminate employment for Good
Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. The
Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with
respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason herein. The Executive must provide the
Company with written notice of intent to terminate and request for cure within ninety (90) days
after the occurrence of the Good Reason event, which notice, in the case of an event described in

be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, any successor of the Company, and any such
successor shall be deemed substituted for all purposes of the “Company” under the terms of this
Agreement (other than for the purpose of determining whether a Change in Control has occurred or
may potentially occur). If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal or
invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining terms or provisions hereof,

Party in accordance with its terms. The Credit Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

     (b) The representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit
Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date with the

     (c) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

     SECTION 6. Covenants. The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors party hereto
covenant and agree with the Administrative Agent and Incremental Term Lender to:

     (a) Within 15 days after the Effective Date (or such later date as shall be
specified by the Administrative Agent in writing), deliver to the Administrative Agent a favorable
written opinion of Baker & McKenzie LLP, counsel for the Borrower, (i) substantially to the effect
set forth in Exhibit A hereto and (ii) addressed to the Incremental Term Lender, Issuing Bank, and

     (b) Within 15 days after the Effective Date (or such later date as shall be
specified by the Administrative Agent in writing), deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate as to the good standing of each Loan Party as of a recent date from the appropriate
Governmental Authority of the State of such Loan Party’s incorporation.

     SECTION 7. Effectiveness. This Assumption Agreement shall become effective as of
the date (the “Effective Date”) occurring on or prior to July 31, 2007 that (a) the Administrative
Agent shall have received counterparts of this Assumption Agreement that, when taken together, bear
the signatures of (i) the Borrower, (ii) each Subsidiary Guarantor, (iii) the Administrative Agent
and (iv) the Incremental Term Lender and (b) each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
3 hereof shall have been satisfied (or waived in writing by the Incremental Term Lenders).

     SECTION 8. Consent and Reaffirmation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby consents to
this Assumption Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and each Loan Party hereby (a)
agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Assumption Agreement, the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement and each of the other Security Documents continue to be in full force and
effect, (b) confirms its guarantee of the Obligations (with respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor)
and its grant of a security interest in its assets as Collateral therefor, all as provided in the
Loan Documents as originally executed and (c) acknowledges that such guarantee and/or grant
continue in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, the Obligations under the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the Incremental Term Loans.
