ADDENDUM A

Covenant Not To Compete

In consideration for the execution of the Professional Services Agreement to which this Addendum A is attached and the fees to be paid thereunder, I, Michael F. Camardo, agree to the following:

1. Restrictions Following Termination of Employment:

(a) For the two-year period following the effective date of the Professional Services Agreement (September 30, 2008 through September 30, 2010), I will not, on my own or in association with others, either be directly or indirectly employed by or engage in or be associated with or tender advice or services as an employee, advisor, director, officer, partner, consultant or otherwise by or with any corporation, partnership, or other business considered to be a Competitor of the Corporation. During that two-year period, I also agree not to interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Corporation and any customer, supplier or employee of the Corporation. This paragraph 1(a) will not apply if the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation waives in writing the restrictions of this paragraph 1(a) as it applies to a particular position or Competitor.

(b) Following my termination of employment with the Corporation, I will refrain from making any statement adverse to the interests of the Corporation where it is reasonably foreseeable or intended that the statement would cause material harm to the Corporation either financially or by a diminution in reputation.

(c) I acknowledge and agree that the scope and duration of the restrictions set forth in this Addendum A are necessary to be effective and are fair and reasonable in light of the value of the Professional Services Agreement. I further acknowledge and agree that these restrictions are reasonably required for the protection of the Corporation's legitimate business interests from unfair competition as a result of the high level executive and management positions I have held within the Corporation and the attendant access to and extensive knowledge of the Corporation's Proprietary Information.

(d) I acknowledge that the Corporation's remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Corporation against any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Covenant Not To Compete, and, therefore, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available at law or in equity (including but not limited to, an action for damages), the Corporation shall be entitled to the granting of injunctive relief in its favor without proof of actual damages and to specific performance of any such provisions of this Covenant Not To Compete.

(e) It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Covenant Not To Compete shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.

Accordingly, if any particular portion of this Covenant Not To Compete is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Covenant Not to Compete shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of this provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

2. For purposes of this Addendum A, "Competitor" means The Boeing Company, General Dynamics Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, the Raytheon Company, United Technologies Corporation, Honeywell International Inc., L3 Corporation, or any successor to all or part of the business of any such company as a result of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, acquisition, divestiture, operation of law or similar transaction.

3. This Covenant Not To Compete shall be governed by and interpreted in a manner consistent with the laws of the State of Maryland without reference to the principles of conflicts of law.
