                                    GENERAL
 
     LCC is one of the world's largest independent providers of radio frequency
("RF") engineering and network design services and products to the wireless
telecommunications industry. The Company has provided these services, along with
related proprietary software tools and field measurement and analysis equipment,
to operators of more than 200 wireless systems in more than 40 countries. The
Company intends to leverage its leadership position and its relationships with
major wireless customers to benefit from the expected significant growth in
wireless networks worldwide.
 
     The Company has provided services and products to seven of the ten largest
U.S. cellular system operators; large international cellular operators,
including British Telecommunications plc ("British Telcom"), France Telcom and
Mannesmann Mobilfunk GmbH, Germany ("Mannesmann"); companies building or
proposing to build personal communications services ("PCS") systems, including
AT&T Wireless Services, Pacific Bell Mobile Services, NextWave Telcom, Inc.
("NextWave Telcom") and DCR PCS, Inc. ("DCR"); operators of enhanced specialized
mobile radio ("ESMR") systems, including Nextel Communications, Inc. ("Nextel
Communications"); and operators of two-way messaging systems. Many of the
Company's major customers have entered into partnerships with international
wireless operators, which has enabled the Company to obtain significant new
business from such operators. The Company also has established working
relationships with two major telecommunications equipment vendors, pursuant to
which the Company provides services and products on a subcontract basis.
 
     LCC believes that its 26.9% compound annual growth in revenues over the
past five years has been fueled primarily by the growth of the wireless
telecommunications industry. The Company derives a significant portion of its
revenues from its international customers (approximately 39% in 1995). A
substantial number of new wireless network licenses have been awarded worldwide
over the last five years, and the Company expects a significant number of
additional wireless licenses to be awarded in the next few years. Construction
of new networks, and optimization of existing networks, require substantial
amounts of RF engineering services and products. In addition, many existing
systems are continuing to grow; LCC estimates that operators of wireless
networks operating at capacity add a new cell site, requiring additional RF
engineering services, for every approximately 1,500 new subscribers added.
 
     LCC's approximately 370 RF engineers provide engineering solutions to
operators of a wide range of wireless networks, incorporating all major wireless
technologies available today, including TDMA (which includes GSM, DCS and
IS-136), CDMA, iDEN, AMPS and ETACS. LCC believes that it is the largest
independent employer of RF engineers in the world and believes that this is a
substantial competitive advantage, especially with respect to large customers.
LCC provides (or, in the case of Phase 4, is developing) services and products
for operators involved in all four phases of wireless system development: (i)
Phase 1 -- bidding for the licenses necessary to build and operate the system;
(ii) Phase 2 -- build-out of the system; (iii) Phase 3 -- optimization and
enhancement of the system to meet the requirements of an increasing
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   6
 
subscriber base and to provide increased quality and coverage; and (iv) Phase
4 -- achievement of greater efficiencies in providing service in order to
compete in areas where there are multiple system operators.
 
     The Company's services consist of (i) RF Engineering and Design Services
and (ii) Program Management, which involves the procurement and management, on a
turnkey basis, of a range of services and products for wireless networks. The
Company's products consist of (i) Software Tools and (ii) Field Measurement and
Analysis Equipment, both of which are used to design wireless networks and
optimize the performance of existing networks.
 
                               BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The Company's objective is to maintain its position as one of the world's
largest independent providers of RF engineering and network design services and
products to the wireless telecommunications industry, and to increase its market
share by pursuing multiple growth paths. The key elements in the Company's
strategy are to:
 
     - Maintain Technological Leadership. LCC believes that it has the most
       sophisticated and diversified technological capabilities (incorporating
       all major wireless technologies available today) in the wireless network
       design industry and intends to maintain its technological leadership.
 
     - Leverage Large Installed Customer Base. The Company believes that its
       large customer base gives it a significant advantage in obtaining
       additional business for its existing and new services and products.
       Typically, a substantial portion of the Company's revenues in a given
       year are generated by customers for which the Company has previously
       performed services or provided products.
 
     - Pursue International Growth. The Company believes that the growth of the
       international wireless industry over the next several years will be
       substantial. The Company is devoting significant efforts to increasing
       its market share of international business, and is particularly focused
       on providing planning services to companies that are participating in
       government tender processes for new license grants. The Company has found
       that provision of such services often results in engineering contracts if
       such companies receive licenses.
 
     - Pursue New Markets
 
        PCS. According to the FCC, over $17.9 billion has been spent or
        committed to acquire new PCS licenses in the U.S. over the past two
        years, and each of the licensed areas must be built out over the five
        years following the date of the license grant. The Company expects that
        such new licensees will account for a significant portion of the demand
        for the Company's services and products over the next several years.
 
        New Wireless Networks and Technologies. The development of new types of
        wireless networks and new wireless technologies, including private
        corporate networks, wireless cable (LMDS and MMDS) services, wireless
        local loop and wireless high speed data services, is expected to result
        in additional potential customers for the Company's services and
        products.
 
        Analog to Digital Conversion. The Company expects that many cellular
        operators will convert from an analog to a digital format in the next
        several years, and that this conversion will result in additional demand
        for the Company's services and products.
 
     - Offer and Develop New Types of Services and Products
 
        Program Management Services. Program management involves the procurement
        and management, on a turnkey basis, of a range of services and products
        relating to deployment or expansion of wireless networks, including
        systems integration, site acquisition, site engineering, procurement
        management, construction management, installation and commissioning, and
        customer training. These management services are often packaged with the
        Company's traditional RF and network engineering services, software
        tools and field measurement and analysis equipment. The Company believes
        that an increasing number of wireless system operators are attracted to
        this approach, and
 
                                        4

        that program management will increase revenues from RF engineering
        services in addition to providing revenues from new services.
 
        Phase 4 System Efficiency Services and Products. The Company is
        developing new RF engineering services and products to increase system
        efficiency and manage costs in the multiple-operator environment
        expected to develop in the next few years.
 
     - Establish Strategic Relationships with Carriers and Equipment Vendors.
       The Company has entered into strategic relationships with new wireless
       carriers and major equipment vendors as a means of obtaining new business
       opportunities. The Company intends to pursue additional relationships,
       including using proceeds from this initial public offering (the
       "Offering") for financing and investment arrangements, as a means of
       obtaining new business.
 
     - Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. The Company intends to pursue acquisitions
       of companies that have developed, or are developing, complementary
       products and services. LCC believes that such acquisitions will
       accelerate the development of products and enhance the recruitment of
       technical staff.

(1) Net of non-cash compensation.
 
(2) Adjusted to reflect the pro forma effects, as applicable, of the Offering
    (including the application of estimated net proceeds of the Offering to
    repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and related interest
    expense), the loan due from Telcom Ventures of $3.5 million, the MCI Note
    Assumption (as defined below) and related interest expense and the Merger
    (assuming such offering, assumption and merger occurred on January 1, 1995,
    except for consolidated balance sheet data, which assumes such transactions
    occurred on June 30, 1996).
 
(3) In connection with the Offering and the Merger, the Company will be
    converting to a Subchapter C corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of
    1986, as amended (the "Code"). Prior to conversion, the Company had been a
    limited liability company for Federal and certain state income tax purposes.
    As such, income of the Company was taxable to the individual members rather
    than to the Company. Accordingly, the provision for income taxes for the
    years ended December 31, 1991 to 1995, and the six months ended June 30,
    1995 and 1996 represents state income taxes on earned income in those states
    that do not recognize the flow-through nature of the limited liability
    company and foreign taxes. Pro forma net income is net of a provision for
    income taxes as if the Company were a Subchapter C corporation at an assumed
    effective income tax rate of approximately 40%.
 
(4) Pro forma net income per share has been computed by dividing pro forma net
    income by the pro forma weighted average number of common shares and common
    share equivalents outstanding.
 
(5) EBITDA represents earnings before interest income, interest expense, other
    income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is commonly used
    in the telecommunications industry to analyze companies on the basis of
    operating performance, leverage and liquidity. EBITDA is not intended to
    represent cash flows for periods, nor has it been presented as an
    alternative to operating income or as an indicator of operating performance
    and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of
    performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles. See the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the
    Company's Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this
    Prospectus.
 
(6) Includes non-recurring payment of compensation expense of $0.9 million (net
    of applicable taxes) resulting from the dividend to Telcom Ventures of the
    note receivable from Telcom Ventures held by the Company. See "Management's
    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
    Operations -- Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Financial Data -- Cash
    Flows." Also includes a non-recurring deferred tax benefit from conversion
    from a limited liability company to a Subchapter C corporation for income
    tax purposes, estimated to be approximately $6.9 million, and adjusted for
    the MCI Note Assumption, the Offering, and the Telcom Tax Advance.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the following
factors should be carefully considered in evaluating the Company and its
business before purchasing the Class A Common Stock offered hereby.
 
CHANGES ADVERSELY IMPACTING DEMAND FOR THE COMPANY'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
 
     The wireless telecommunications industry is undergoing a number of
significant changes that are adversely impacting demand for the Company's RF
engineering and related services and products. Such changes include (i)
increased use of in-house engineers by operators of mature wireless networks,
(ii) increasing dependence of wireless network operators on equipment vendors
for design services and (iii) delays in deployment of PCS networks.
 
  INCREASED USE OF IN-HOUSE ENGINEERS BY OPERATORS OF MATURE WIRELESS NETWORKS
 
     Over the last few years, operators of several mature wireless networks have
reduced the amount of engineering services purchased from LCC and have replaced
such services with those provided by their own engineers. LCC expects this trend
to continue and to affect other types of wireless networks both within the U.S.
and internationally.
 
  INCREASING DEPENDENCE OF WIRELESS NETWORK OPERATORS ON EQUIPMENT VENDORS FOR
DESIGN SERVICES
 
     Wireless network operators, particularly PCS operators and new
international licensees, are increasingly dependent on equipment vendors to
provide turnkey solutions for the design and deployment of wireless networks and
to provide vendor financing for the entire project. Vendors of wireless
telecommunications equipment have been conditioning the availability of
financing for services or products, other than those principally offered by the
vendor, on being granted the right to select the providers of such services and
products, including RF engineering and network design. The Company believes that
the need of PCS and other wireless operators for vendor financing and the
packaging of services by equipment vendors is making the vendor a competitor of
the Company (since the vendor is providing engineering services, generally
through a subcontract arrangement) and is causing the vendor to replace the
wireless operator as a customer of the Company. While the Company has
established relationships with major telecommunications equipment vendors
pursuant to which the Company provides services and products for the wireless
telecommunications projects for which such vendors act as prime contractors,
such arrangements often are less profitable for the Company than direct sales to
the end user since the vendor often submits a comparatively lower bid for the
engineering work to secure or increase its profits on equipment sales. In
addition, working through a prime contractor weakens the relationship with the
network operator and may reduce the Company's ability to obtain continuing
business.
 
  DELAYS IN DEPLOYMENT OF PCS NETWORKS
 
     The Company believes that demand for its services and products may be
affected by future delays in the pace of deployment of PCS networks in the U.S.
A significant portion of the Company's revenues is generated from new licensees
for designing and building out their networks. Furthermore, a significant
portion of the Company's backlog consists of services and products to be
provided under two five-year contracts for services and products aggregating
$115 million with the two top bidders in the recently concluded C-block
broadband PCS auction. See "Business -- Customers and Backlog." Finally, the
Company anticipates that additional future revenues will be generated from
successful bidders in the D-, E- and F-block broadband PCS auctions expected to
be held within the next two to three years. To date, the pace of PCS network
deployment has been slower than expected, due in part to difficulty experienced
by holders of MTA licenses in raising the necessary financing and there can be
no assurance that bidders for BTA licenses will not experience similar
difficulties. In addition, the C-block bidders have been hampered by delays in
the auction process and by subsequent challenges to the issuance of licenses to
successful bidders, and there can be no assurance as to when the D-, E- and
F-block auctions will occur, nor to when licenses will be granted. Accordingly,
orders for network
 
                                        8

design and deployment from PCS licensees, including a significant portion of the
Company's backlog, are subject to uncertainty. See "Risk Factors -- Risks
Associated with Strategic Relationships, Strategic Financing and Acquisitions."
 
RISKS FROM COMPETITION
 
     The current market for wireless network design services, related software
tools, field measurement and analysis equipment and program management services
is highly competitive. Many companies offer such services and products, and the
Company believes that the number of other independent firms providing a
combination of these services and products to wireless network operators
throughout the world is increasing. Wireless operators themselves and system
equipment vendors are also developing capabilities competitive with those
provided by LCC. See "Risk Factors -- Changes Adversely Impacting Demand for the
Company's Products and Services -- Increased Use of In-House Engineers by
Operators of Mature Wireless Networks" and "-- Increasing Dependence of Wireless
Network Operators on Equipment Vendors for Design Services." Some of the
Company's competitors are part of large corporate groups or alliances with
greater resources and broader technology bases than those of the Company. In
addition, some of the Company's competitors have been founded by or have
recruited senior engineering executives from current or potential Company
customers and may have better relationships with those current or potential
customers than are available to the Company. Recently, as a result of increased
competition, the Company has experienced a decline in the prices it can charge
for its software tools and field measurement and analysis equipment. There can
be no assurance that competitive factors will not have an adverse effect on the
Company's business.
 
SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE
 
     The Company had $40 million of debt obligations as of June 30, 1996,
consisting of the $20 million Credit Facility and the $20 million note held by
MCI Telecommunications Corporation ("MCI"). Prior to the Offering the Company
will be assuming the $30 million note held by MCI that was issued by Telcom
Ventures (defined below). Accordingly, the Company is highly leveraged. The two
MCI notes, which are due in 2000, are exchangeable for Common Stock of the
Company, and the Company intends to require this exchange in August 1997. See
"The MCI Notes, MCI Note Assumption, MCI Conversion." However, if there is a
default under such MCI notes prior to this exchange, or if there is a default
under the Credit Facility, there would be a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Credit Facility prohibits the Company from incurring additional
debt and contains numerous other restrictive covenants. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Financial Data."
 
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES
 
     The market for wireless network system design services and tools is
characterized by rapid change and improvements in technology. The Company's
future success will depend in part on its ability to enhance its current
products, to introduce new products that keep pace with technological
developments and to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its
customers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
developing and marketing in a timely manner product enhancements or new products
that respond to the technological advances by others, or that its products and
services will adequately and competitively address the needs of the changing
marketplace. Technological changes with respect to software tools and field
measurement and analysis equipment have resulted in the shortening of product
cycles, and if the Company is not ready to introduce new competitive products,
the Company's operating results could be adversely affected. In the past, the
Company's operating revenues from sales of software tools and field measurement
and analysis equipment have been adversely affected by this trend. In
particular, approximately two years ago, customer requirements for UNIX-based
products emerged at a time when the Company's UNIX-based products were still
being developed, and the Company's revenues from software tools for 1994 were
adversely affected. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Results of Operations -- Year Ended
December 31, 1994 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1993." In order to remain
competitive, the Company may be required to expend a greater percentage
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   12
 
of its revenues on product innovation and research and development or technology
acquisition than historically has been the case. See Note 1 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
 
     In addition, the Company believes that, as the number of wireless networks
in the U.S. increases with the addition of PCS license holders and other
competitors (Phase 4), operators will experience greater price competition and
place greater emphasis on containing costs and system efficiency. The Company's
customers will require new network engineering services and products to increase
system efficiency and manage costs in the Phase 4 multiple-operator environment.
Although the Company is developing such services and products and believes that
none of its existing competitors presently offer such services or products,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to offer such services
and products in a timely manner.
 
DEPENDENCE ON PROFESSIONAL STAFF; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL QUALIFIED TECHNICAL
PERSONNEL
 
     The Company receives the majority of its revenues from the efforts of
approximately 370 RF engineers. The success of the Company's business therefore
depends on its ability to retain its existing staff and replace departing
engineers. Moreover, to continue its growth at its current rate, the Company
needs to attract additional RF engineers and other technical professionals, and
a number of professionals with skills in the program management area. There are
a limited number of RF engineers, and such individuals are sought both by RF
engineering companies such as LCC and by wireless network operators. Competition
for such personnel is intense, which has at times caused LCC to experience
difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified technical personnel. In the
program management area, although the number of available professionals is
greater, the Company has less experience in hiring such professionals. There can
be no assurance that the Company will not experience difficulties in retaining
and augmenting its professional staff.
 
DEPENDENCE ON SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND LARGE CONTRACTS
 
     The Company derived approximately 50% of its revenues from its ten largest
customers in the year ended December 31, 1995. Nextel Communications, the
Company's largest customer in the year ended December 31, 1995, accounted for
approximately 14% of its revenues. Although such major customers generally have
differed from year to year as work under existing contracts is completed and
services under new contracts are commenced, the Company depends on having large
contracts from some customers each year to meet its expected revenues. There can
be no assurance that the Company will continue to receive large contracts from
customers. In addition, the Company's contracts typically have provisions that
permit customers to terminate their respective contracts under various
circumstances, which include nonperformance or unsatisfactory performance by the
Company. There can be no assurance that customers under any of the Company's
long-term contracts will not attempt to cancel or renegotiate their contracts
with the Company.
 
LENGTHY SALES CYCLE
 
     Purchases of the Company's products or services by customers often entail
an extended decision-making process for the customer because of the substantial
costs and strategic implications associated with selecting wireless network
deployment services and products. Senior management of the customer is often
involved in this process, given the importance of the decision as well as the
risks faced by the customer if the Company's services and products do not meet
the customer's particular needs. Therefore, large procurements of LCC services
and products involve lengthy selling cycles, resulting in a relatively high cost
of new business generation. See "Business -- Sales and Marketing."
 
SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS; UNCERTAINTIES RELATING TO BACKLOG
 
     The Company's quarterly revenues and operating results have varied
considerably in the past and are likely to vary considerably from quarter to
quarter in the future. Fluctuations in the Company's revenues depend on a number
of factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control. These factors
include, among others, the timing of issuance of new licenses by governmental
agencies, the length of sales cycles, changes in pricing policy by the Company
or its competitors, the timing of contracts and customer budget changes. In
addition, even after contracts are entered into, the timing of delivery of
services and products
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   13
 
depends in part on the customer's readiness to receive the services and the pace
of the build-out of the customer's network, which in turn depend on a number of
business decisions by the customer and provision of services and equipment by
providers other than the Company. A large portion ($115 million, or
approximately 64.0%) of the Company's current backlog consists of services and
products to be provided under two five year contracts with holders of PCS
licenses, and the customers have flexibility within such five-year periods
regarding the timing of ordering and mix of services and products to be
purchased from the Company. See "Business -- Customers and Backlog." The orders
under such contracts are also subject to uncertainties relating to PCS network
deployment generally and to matters that may affect the businesses and financial
resources of such customers. See "Risk Factors -- Changes Adversely Impacting
Demand for the Company's Products and Services -- Delays in Deployment of PCS
Networks" and "Risk Factors -- Risks Associated with Strategic Relationships,
Strategic Financing and Acquisitions." The Company establishes its expenditure
levels for product development and other operating expenses in large part on its
expected future revenues. As a result, should revenues fall below expectations,
operating results are likely to be adversely affected. Gross profit as a percent
of total revenues generally declined from 1993 through December 31, 1995. There
can be no assurances that this trend will not continue. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Overview."
 
DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
 
     The Company relies on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade
secrets, non-disclosure and other contractual agreements and technical measures
to protect its proprietary rights in its products. There can be no assurance
that others will not independently develop similar products or duplicate the
Company's products. There can also be no assurance that the steps taken by the
Company will prevent misappropriation of this technology. In addition, effective
copyright, trademark or trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in
certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that third parties will not
assert infringement claims against the Company in the future or that any such
claims will not require the Company to enter into royalty arrangements or result
in costly litigation involving the imposition of damages or injunctive relief
against the Company, any of which could adversely affect the Company's business.
 
TRADE ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES
 
     The Company is subject to credit risk in the form of trade account
receivables. As of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, the Company had trade
account receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, of $28.3 million
and $29.5 million, respectively. The Company frequently is unable to enforce a
policy of receiving payment within 30 days of issuing bills, especially in the
case of customers who are in the early phases of business development. In
addition, many of the Company's foreign customers are not accustomed to paying
their suppliers on terms as attractive as those typically existing in the United
States. See "Risk Factors -- Risks of International Operations." Generally, the
Company does not require collateral or other security to support customer
receivables.
 
RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
 
     Approximately 39% of the Company's revenues for 1995 were generated outside
of the United States, and the Company expects this segment of its business to
continue to account for a material part of its revenues. Licensing software and
selling other products and services in foreign countries is subject to various
risks inherent in international business activities. Risks include those
presented by general economic and political conditions in each country, the
effect of applicable foreign tax structures, tariff and trade regulations,
difficulties in obtaining local business licenses, the need to manage a
geographically diverse organization and difficulties in complying with a variety
of foreign laws and regulations. In addition, adverse changes in the regulatory
environments in foreign countries, including delays in deregulation or
privatization affecting the pace at which licenses are awarded to wireless
network system operators, affect the level and timing of the demand for the
Company's services and products. Providing products and services outside the
United States carries the additional risk of currency fluctuations and foreign
exchange controls imposed by certain countries. Foreign customers may be
accustomed to paying their suppliers, including the Company, on terms and
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   14
 
conditions less attractive than is typical in the United States, and collection
of accounts receivable due from foreign customers can be more difficult than
from domestic customers.
 
   
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS, STRATEGIC FINANCING AND
ACQUISITIONS
    
 
  RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS AND STRATEGIC FINANCING
 
     There are a number of risks associated with the Company's plans to pursue
opportunities to enter into strategic relationships with new wireless operators
or to extend financing to customers in return for new business opportunities.
There can be no assurance that the Company will receive the anticipated
business, that the business will be of the anticipated level or that profits
from the new business will offset any possible losses on the investment made or
financing extended by the Company to enter into such relationship. A loan to or
investment in a customer will be subject to many of the same risks to which the
customer is subject in seeking to operate and grow its businesses, and there can
be no assurance that the customer will be able to repay or return the Company's
investment within an acceptable period. The Company's first two arrangements
with customers under this strategy involved financing aggregating $11.5 million
to the two top bidders in the recently-concluded C-block auction for broadband
PCS licenses as part of arrangements involving the Company receiving contracts
aggregating $115 million for new business over a five year period. The Company's
investments in, and expectation of future orders from, these two C-block bidders
could be adversely affected to the extent that the businesses and financial
resources of these two C-block bidders is affected by any (or a combination) of:
the possibility that the FCC will find either entity ineligible for the licenses
for which they were the top bidders; the head start enjoyed by A- and B-block
licensees (which may be exacerbated by delays in the issuance of C-block
licenses caused by challenges to such issuance filed by rival bidders); the
relatively large amounts owed by the C-block bidders to the U.S. Government as a
result of the C-block auction; and the entrepreneurial or "start-up" status of
the C-block bidders and related difficulties in obtaining adequate financing for
the capital intensive build-out of their systems and to cover operating losses
during the early months of operation.
 
  RISKS RELATING TO ACQUISITIONS
 
     The Company's intention to engage in acquisitions to acquire companies that
have developed or are developing complementary products and services is subject
to the risks that the assets being acquired or additional professional staff
being recruited to perform services will not perform as expected, that the
acquired entity will have unanticipated liabilities and that the returns
realized by the Company ultimately will not support the investments made or
indebtedness incurred in such acquisitions.
 
  RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO ENGAGE IN STRATEGIC FINANCINGS
OR ACQUISITIONS
 
     There are several restrictions and other factors affecting the Company's
ability to engage in strategic financings or acquisitions. Although the Company
presently intends to engage in such transactions only to the extent that the net
proceeds from the Offering, together with amounts that will be available under
the Credit Facility, are sufficient to fund such opportunistic investments and
acquisitions, there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be
required for such purposes. The Company cannot predict the extent to which
additional capital may be required, and there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain such additional capital on terms acceptable to
the Company. In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain restrictions with
regard to, among other things, acquisitions, capital expenditures and incurrence
of additional indebtedness that may limit the ability of the Company to complete
certain acquisitions. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other
Financial Data -- Existing Indebtedness." Certain entities formed by The Carlyle
Group, a Washington, D.C.-based investment group (the "Carlyle Investors") also
have certain rights that limit the ability of the Company to incur debt above
specified ratios or amounts. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain
Relationships Between the Founder Corporation and the Carlyle Investors
Affecting the Company." Moreover, in seeking to make investments in wireless
operators or acquire other companies, the Company will be competing with
organizations that are larger, have access to more substantial capital resources
or are
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   15
 
pursuing other strategic goals. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in completing these transactions.
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL; MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH
 
  DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
     The success of the Company depends to a significant degree upon the
contribution of its executive officers and other key personnel. None of the
Company's executive officers has an employment agreement with the Company, other
than an agreement terminable at will. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to retain its key managerial and other key personnel or to attract
suitable replacements or additional personnel if required.
 
  MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH
 
     To manage its growth effectively, the Company must continue to strengthen
its operational, financial and management information systems, and expand, train
and manage its work force. Failure to do so effectively and on a timely basis
would have an adverse effect upon the Company's business.
 
CONCERNS ABOUT MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS HEALTH RISK MAY AFFECT PROSPECTS OF LCC
 
     Allegations have been made that serious health risks have resulted from the
use of portable mobile communications devices. Some studies have found some
instances of interference with hearing aids and other medical devices caused
principally by digital wireless handsets. The actual or perceived health risks
of mobile communications devices could adversely affect LCC through a reduction
in the number of systems deployed worldwide or a reduction in the number of
sites constructed in those systems that are deployed.
 
CONTROL OF THE COMPANY BY RF INVESTORS
 
   
     Upon completion of the Merger and the Offering, RF Investors, a recently
formed subsidiary of Telcom Ventures, L.L.C. ("Telcom Ventures"), will own all
(except for a small number of shares held by the Founder Corporation, indirectly
an equity holder of RF Investors) of the outstanding shares of Class B Common
Stock, which will represent 93.9% of the combined voting power of both classes
of Common Stock. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders." Accordingly, RF
Investors and its equity holders will be able, without the approval of the
Company's public stockholders, to (i) elect all of the Company's directors, (ii)
amend the Company's certificate of incorporation (the "Certificate of
Incorporation") with respect to most matters or effect a merger, sale of assets,
or other major corporate transaction, (iii) defeat any non-negotiated takeover
attempt, (iv) sell RF Investors' shares of Common Stock without participation in
such sale by the Company's public stockholders, (v) determine the amount and
timing of dividends paid, if any, with respect to Common Stock and (vi)
otherwise control the management and operations of the Company and the outcome
of virtually all matters submitted for a stockholder vote. RF Investors may
also, by converting its shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A
Common Stock, obtain a sufficient number of shares of Class A Common Stock
(64.15% of the total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock based upon the
number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by RF Investors on the date of the
Offering) to determine the outcome of any vote with respect to any matter on
which the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote together as a
class. Dr. Rajendra and Neera Singh, who with certain Singh family trusts
indirectly own 75% of Telcom Ventures (the "Singh Family Group"), are also
directors or executive officers of the Company, and Mark Ein, a designee of the
Carlyle Investors, who are the 25% indirect owners of Telcom Ventures, also is a
director of the Company. The Telcom Ventures and RF Investors limited liability
company agreements provide that, for as long as the Carlyle Investors
collectively own at least 5% of the total membership interests of Telcom
Ventures, Telcom Ventures shall vote any and all shares of the Company held by
it, and shall cause RF Investors to vote any and all shares held by it, from
time to time: (i) to elect as directors of the Company up to two persons
recommended by the Carlyle Investors upon the request of the Carlyle Investors,
and (ii) not to take any of the following actions without the consent of the
Carlyle Investors: (a) approve any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
or the Bylaws of the Company; (b) approve the incurrence by the Company of any
debt (or the granting of security
    
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   16
 
relating to the incurrence of debt) if as a result of such incurrence, the debt
to equity ratio of the Company exceeds 6:1 or, if as a result of such debt
incurrence, the total outstanding debt of the Company exceeds $50 million plus
or minus, as the case may be, the cumulative net income or the net losses of the
Company after January 1994; (c) approve any new affiliated party transactions in
excess of $150,000 or modifications to existing transactions, subject to certain
limited exceptions; (d) approve the appointment as independent accountants of
the Company of a firm other than one of the "big six" accounting firms; or (e)
approve certain events relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.
The RF Investors and Telcom Ventures limited liability company agreements
provide for certain rights of the Carlyle Investors to cause the distribution to
the Carlyle Investors, beginning three years after the Offering, of up to 25% of
the Common Stock held by RF Investors. Such a distribution would still leave RF
Investors with voting control of the Company. See "Description of Capital
Stock -- Certain Relationships Between the Founder Corporation and Carlyle
Investors Affecting the Company."
 
RELATIONSHIP WITH TELCOM VENTURES; POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
   
     Telcom Ventures, RF Investors' parent, is principally engaged in making
investments in wireless system operators and emerging wireless technologies.
Directors of Telcom Ventures and its subsidiaries who are also directors or
officers of the Company have certain fiduciary obligations to each organization.
Telcom Ventures and directors of Telcom Ventures and its subsidiaries who are
also directors and officers of the Company are in positions involving the
possibility of conflicts of interest with respect to certain transactions
concerning the Company. In addition, the Company and Telcom Ventures and certain
of Telcom Ventures' subsidiaries have entered and will enter into arrangements
which provide for certain transactions and relationships between the parties or
which otherwise affect the Company. The Company, RF Investors, Telcom Ventures,
and Telcom Ventures' owners (the Founder Corporation, the Singh Family Group and
the Carlyle Investors) (in each case as defined herein and collectively, the
"Telcom Ventures Group") will enter into an agreement (the "Intercompany
Agreement"), effective with the Offering, whereby, among other things, (i) the
Singh Family Group will be limited in its ability to compete with the Company in
its traditional lines of business and (ii) Telcom Ventures will be limited in
its ability to invest in entities whose primary business is to compete with the
Company in its traditional lines of business, in each case until the earlier of
(i) the date on which the Telcom Ventures Group no longer possesses 51% or more
of the outstanding voting power of the Company or (ii) the occurrence of certain
termination events specified in the Formation Agreement among the Telcom
Ventures Group. Each of the Carlyle Investors (but not its affiliates) will be
limited in its ability to invest in entities whose primary business is to
compete with the Company in its traditional line of business (excluding the
program management business) until the earlier of (i) the date on which such
Carlyle Investor no longer owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in the
Company or (ii) the occurrence of certain termination events specified in the
Formation Agreement among the Telcom Ventures Group. The Company will be free to
pursue investment opportunities on its own, but will be obligated to refer to
Telcom Ventures investment opportunities prior to offering such opportunities to
any other third party. If Telcom Ventures does not elect to pursue the
investment opportunity within five days, LCC will be free to offer the
opportunity to third parties. There can be no assurance that the Intercompany
Agreement will eliminate or reduce conflicts of interest or inconsistent
fiduciary obligations. See "Certain Transactions -- Corporate Opportunity" and
"-- Future Transactions with Officers, Directors and Principal Stockholders."
    
 
ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK
 
     The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common
Stock in the foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain all working
capital and earnings, if any, for use in the Company's business operations and
in the expansion of its business. Certain covenants in the Credit Facility
prohibit the payment of cash dividends without the consent of the Lenders. See
"Dividend Policy."
 
NEGATIVE EFFECT OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon completion of the Offering, 14,114,395 shares of Common Stock will be
outstanding (assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option), none of which
will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), other than the
5,000,000
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   17
 
shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby. As of the completion of the
Offering, the Company's existing stockholders will continue to own an aggregate
of 9,114,395 shares of Common Stock, assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment
Option. All of such shares of Common Stock are deemed to be "restricted
securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144, promulgated under the
Securities Act.
 
     In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are
aggregated with shares held by another person) who is not an affiliate of the
Company and who has satisfied a two-year holding period may, under certain
circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of restricted
securities which does not exceed the greater of one percent of the shares
outstanding or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks
preceding the notice of sale required by Rule 144. In addition, Rule 144
permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of restricted securities, without
any quantity limitations, by a person who is not an affiliate of the Company and
who has satisfied a three-year holding period. Under Rule 144, RF Investors, the
Founder Corporation and TC Group (defined below) may be deemed, at the time of
the Offering, to have held the Common Stock owned by them for more than two
years and, accordingly, each may be able to commence public sale of any of its
Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 beginning 90 days after the Offering, except
as provided by its "lock-up" agreement with the Underwriters described below.
MCI may be able, at the time of the MCI Conversion (anticipated to be in August
1997), to commence public sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Common Stock received
by MCI.
 
   
     The Selling Stockholder, the Founder Corporation, TC Group and executive
officers and directors of the Company have agreed not to, directly or
indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, contract to sell, grant any option to
purchase or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock or securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or, in any manner, transfer all
or a portion of the economic consequences associated with the ownership of
Common Stock or cause to be filed with the Commission a registration statement
with respect thereto, for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus
without prior written consent of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation ("DLJ"), notwithstanding any Rule 144 exemption which may be
available to such person. Pursuant to such "lock-up" arrangements, which may be
terminated earlier at the discretion of DLJ, commencing 180 days after the date
of this Prospectus there may be 9,114,395 restricted shares of Common Stock
available for sale pursuant to Rule 144. The Company intends to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the
approximately 3,894,000 shares of Common Stock available upon exercise of
options under the Employee Plan, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the
Company's 1996 Directors Stock Option Plan. Finally, RF Investors has and, upon
the exchange of the MCI Notes for Class A Common Stock, MCI will have certain
"demand" rights to require the Company to register their Class A Common Stock
for sale and to register shares on a "piggyback" basis in connection with most
registered public offerings of securities of the Company. RF Investors and MCI
are or will be entitled to registration rights that would, among other things,
permit each of RF Investors and MCI to submit three demand registration requests
to the Company. Generally, the Company will be required to use "best efforts" to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") within 90 days of receiving such a request. However, once a year,
the Company may defer a demand registration request for a period of up to 90
days if the Board of Directors makes a good faith determination that it would be
"seriously detrimental" to the Company to file a registration statement within
the time period otherwise required. Any sales of such securities by stockholders
pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to a registration statement may have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Class A Common Stock and on the ability of the
Company to obtain additional equity financing. See "Shares Eligible For Future
Sale," "Principal and Selling Stockholder" and "Certain
Transactions -- Registration Rights."

POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION, BY-LAWS AND THE CREDIT FACILITY
 
     The Certificate of Incorporation and the Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws")
include provisions that may discourage or prevent certain types of transactions
involving an actual or potential change in control of the Company. In addition,
the Board of Directors has the authority to fix the rights and preferences of
and issue shares of preferred stock, which may have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Company without action by the
stockholders. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock" and
"-- Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Proposals and Stockholder
Nominations of Directors."
 
     In addition, there are various provisions in the Credit Facility that may
have the effect of discouraging non-negotiated takeover attempts of the Company.
In particular, the Credit Facility provides for an event of default if the
Company, without the prior written consent of the Lenders (i) sells, leases,
assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of any of its assets, other than in the
ordinary course of business and in other limited circumstances or (ii) merges
with another corporation other than a wholly-owned subsidiary. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Financial Data."
 
INCURRENCE OF SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
 
     Investors participating in this Offering will incur immediate and
substantial dilution of approximately $13.93 per share in the pro forma net
tangible book value per share of the Class A Common Stock from the assumed
initial public offering price. See "Dilution."
 
NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
     Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the stock of
the Company and there can be no assurance that an active public market will
develop or be sustained after the Offering. The Offering price was determined by
negotiations among the Company, the Selling Stockholder and DLJ, Alex. Brown &
Sons Incorporated and Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., acting as representatives for the
Underwriters (the "Representatives"). See "Underwriting." Factors such as the
announcement of the introduction of new products or services by the Company or
its competitors, the award or termination of significant customer contracts,
quarter to quarter variations in the Company's operating results and changes in
earnings estimates by analysts, as well as market conditions in the technology
and emerging growth company sectors may have a significant impact on the market
price of the Class A Common Stock. Further, the stock market has on occasion
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly
affected market prices of the equity securities of many technology companies and
which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies.
These broad market fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market
price of the Class A Common Stock.

     The Company's business commenced in 1983 in a corporation named LCC,
Incorporated (presently named Cherrywood Holdings, Inc.), a Kansas corporation
organized in 1983 and wholly owned by Dr. Rajendra and Neera Singh and other
members of the Singh Family Group (the "Founder Corporation"). The business was
transferred by the Founder Corporation to Telcom Ventures for a 75% interest in
Telcom Ventures in January 1994, at which time the Carlyle Investors acquired a
25% interest in Telcom Ventures in consideration of a cash contribution. Telcom
Ventures then formed the Limited Liability Company and transferred the business
to the Limited Liability Company in exchange for a 99% interest in the Limited
Liability Company. The Founder Corporation and TC Group, L.L.C., an affiliate of
the Carlyle Investors ("TC Group"), received direct interests of 0.75% and
0.25%, respectively, in the Limited Liability Company. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Financial Data -- Capital
Raised to Date" and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
     In preparation for the Offering, LCC International will become the
corporate successor to the Limited Liability Company. Immediately prior to the
closing of the Offering, the Limited Liability Company will reorganize into
corporate form by merging with and into LCC International, which until that time
will have minimal assets and liabilities. See "The Merger."
 
     The Company's executive offices are located at 2300 Clarendon Boulevard,
Suite 800, Arlington, VA 22201, and its telephone number is 703-351-6666.
 
                                   THE MERGER
 
     Immediately prior to the consummation of the Offering, the Limited
Liability Company will be merged with and into LCC International. LCC
International will be the surviving company in the Merger, and the separate
existence of the Limited Liability Company will cease. As a result of the
Merger, LCC International will own all of the assets and rights and be subject
to all of the obligations and liabilities of the Limited Liability Company,
including those under the Credit Facility and the MCI notes. Because the Merger
is intended to qualify as tax-free under Section 351 of the Code, the tax basis
of the assets held by LCC International after the Merger will be the same as the
tax basis of the assets held by the Limited Liability Company immediately before
the Merger, and LCC International will add to its holding period for certain
assets the period for which the Limited Liability Company held such assets.
 
     In connection with the Merger, 11,250,751 shares of Class B Common Stock
will be issued to RF Investors, 85,233 shares of Class B Common Stock will be
issued to the Founder Corporation and 28,411 shares of Class A Common Stock will
be issued to TC Group. Immediately prior to the Merger, Telcom Ventures will
transfer its membership interest in the Limited Liability Company to RF
Investors in return for a membership interest in RF Investors of 99% (the
remaining membership interests of 0.75% and 0.25% will be held directly by the
Founder Corporation and TC Group, respectively). It is presently intended that
subsequent to the Offering, the Founder Corporation and TC Group will contribute
their shares of Common Stock to RF Investors. As a result of the Merger, RF
Investors and the Founder Corporation will own Class B Common Stock which will
represent upon consummation of the Offering 94.8% of the combined voting power
of both classes of Common Stock. See "Risk Factors -- Control of the Company by
RF Investors" and "Description of Capital Stock."
 
     Pursuant to the Merger, LCC International will be required to indemnify
Telcom Ventures, RF Investors, the Founder Corporation, the Carlyle Investors
and TC Group against obligations and liabilities associated with the Limited
Liability Company's operations. LCC International will bear all of the costs
incurred by the Limited Liability Company and such entities, including transfer
taxes and related fees, in connection with the Merger.

               THE MCI NOTES, MCI NOTE ASSUMPTION, MCI CONVERSION
 
     In June 1994 the Limited Liability Company and Telcom Ventures entered into
a Note Purchase Agreement with a then unrelated third party, MCI, which provided
for the issuance of a $20 million subordinated note by the Limited Liability
Company (the "LCC Note") and of a $30 million subordinated note by Telcom
Ventures (the "Telcom Ventures Note") to MCI in return for cash in such amounts.
When MCI entered into this transaction, it advised the Company that MCI intended
the transaction to facilitate its plans, at that time, to acquire licenses to
build-out and operate a national PCS system. In connection therewith, it was
contemplated that MCI would utilize the services and products of a separate
division of the Company. MCI has not pursued acquisition of licenses for a
national PCS network, has not entered into any service arrangements with the
Company and, as a result, MCI's role regarding the Limited Liability Company has
been limited to that of a passive financial investor.
 
     The LCC Note and the Telcom Ventures Note (collectively, the "Exchangeable
Notes") are both due June 28, 2000 and bear interest at a rate equal to the
higher of 6.8% per annum, payable semiannually, or an amount which approximates
the return had they converted into a membership interest in the Limited
Liability Company from the date when the Exchangeable Notes were issued.
Immediately prior to the Merger, the Telcom Ventures Note will be assumed by the
Limited Liability Company (the "MCI Note Assumption"), and the $30 million
principal repayment obligation and interest thereon will become the sole
obligation of the Limited Liability Company and, following the Merger, the sole
obligation of the Company.
 
     The Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at certain specified times,
including during the 45 day period commencing on June 27, 1997 (MCI exchange
right), the 45 day period commencing on August 27, 1997 (Company exchange
right), and the same respective periods in 1998 and 1999, and including upon
certain extraordinary events, such as merger or sale of all assets of the
Company, tender offer for more than 25% of the Common Stock or distribution of
assets representing 5% or more of the total assets of the Company. Any exchange
of one note must include the exchange of the other note. The Company presently
intends to exercise its exchange option in August 1997 to cause the Exchangeable
Notes to be exchanged into 2,841,099 shares of Class A Common Stock (such
exchange is herein referred to as the "MCI Conversion"). The Company has granted
MCI registration rights which will be exercisable following the MCI Conversion.
See "Certain Transactions -- Registration Rights."
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are estimated to be
approximately $34.8 million, assuming a public offering price of $14.00 per
share (approximately $40.2 million if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in
full), after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and estimated
transaction fees and expenses payable by the Company. The net proceeds of the
Offering will be used (i) to repay entirely the amount outstanding under the
Credit Facility (approximately $20 million), (ii) to advance $3.5 million to
Telcom Ventures to assist Telcom Ventures in paying certain taxes due in
connection with the MCI Note Assumption (the "Telcom Tax Advance"), and (iii)
for strategic financing or investments in customers and equipment vendors,
acquisitions of companies with complementary products and services, and working
capital and general corporate purposes.
 
   
     The terms of the Credit Facility, which (following an amendment to the
Credit Facility) will continue in place after the Offering and the application
of net proceeds therefrom, are described below in more detail under the caption
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Financial Data." Following
such amendment, the terms of the Credit Facility will be as follows. The maximum
amount that the Company may borrow under the Credit Facility is $20 million,
which borrowing shall be in the form of revolving loans and letters of credit.
Interest under the Credit Facility accrues at the Company's election (subject to
certain restrictions and limitations contained in the Credit Agreement), at
either (i) a variable rate (the "Variable Rate") equal to the higher of (a) the
Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, and (b) the announced prime commercial lending
rate of Chase, or (ii) a fixed rate (the "Fixed Rate") for a designated period
of time (1, 2, 3 or 6 months) equal to the rate at which U.S. dollar deposits
are offered to leading banks in the London interbank market plus 1.25%. The
    
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   21
 
   
revolving loan commitment expires in September 1999. Subject to certain
restrictions on the minimum permitted amount of any prepayment and the
requirement that certain notices of prepayment be given to Chase, the principal
of the revolving loans is prepayable without penalty or premium, so long as the
Lenders are compensated for losses, costs and expenses attributable to any
prepayment of any loan accruing interest at the Fixed Rate on a date other than
the last day of the applicable interest period. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity, Capital
Resources and Other Financial Data -- Existing Indebtedness."
    
 
   
     The Telcom Tax Advance will be repayable over five years, with equal annual
principal payments over the term of the loan. Interest will accrue at the rate
of LIBOR plus 1.75% and be payable annually. Such loan will be senior
indebtedness of Telcom Ventures. Upon the sale by Telcom Ventures or any of its
affiliates (defined as each entity controlling, controlled by or under common
control with, Telcom Ventures, each natural person that controls Telcom Ventures
and each member of Telcom Ventures as of the date of the loan) of shares of
Common Stock resulting in Telcom Ventures and such affiliates, in the aggregate,
owning less than 25% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Company may declare
the loan to be immediately due and payable. See "Certain
Transactions -- Advances to and from Telcom Ventures and Related Parties."
    
 
     The Company periodically reviews acquisition and strategic investment
opportunities that are related to the Company's business and believes that it is
desirable to have funds on hand so as to be able to make acquisitions and
strategic investments promptly. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company
has no specific agreements, understandings, commitments, or arrangements with
regard to any particular future acquisition or strategic investment, and no
assurances can be given that the Company will be able to consummate any
acquisitions or strategic investments or that, if consummated, such acquisitions
would be on terms that are favorable to the Company.
 
     The Company's proposed use of proceeds is subject to changes in general,
economic and competitive conditions, timing and management discretion, each of
which may change the amount of proceeds expended for the purposes intended. The
proposed application of proceeds is also subject to changes in market conditions
and the Company's financial condition in general.
 
     Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be invested in short-term
investment grade, interest bearing obligations. The Company will not receive any
proceeds from the sale of Class A Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder.
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company does not anticipate paying dividends on the Common Stock, cash
or otherwise, in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Credit Facility
prohibits the payment of dividends by the Company without consent of the
Lenders. Future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board of
Directors and will depend upon, among other things, the Company's operations,
capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual
restrictions and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

                                    DILUTION
 
     The pro forma net tangible book value of the Company on June 30, 1996
(determined as if the Merger and MCI Note Assumption but not the Offering had
occurred on June 30, 1996), was $(30.3) million, or a pro forma per share amount
of approximately $(2.66). Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents
the amount of total tangible assets less the amount of total liabilities divided
by the total number of pro forma shares of Common Stock outstanding. After
giving effect to the receipt of approximately $34.8 million of estimated net
proceeds of the sale by the Company of 2.75 million shares of Class A Common
Stock pursuant to the Offering and the Telcom Tax Advance of $3.5 million, the
pro forma net tangible book value of the Company at June 30, 1996 would have
been approximately $1.0 million or $.07 per share. This change represents an
immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $2.73 per share to
the existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $13.93 per share to new
investors purchasing shares of Class A Common Stock in the Offering. The
following table illustrates the substantial and immediate dilution to new
investors:

    Offering.
 
(2) Dilution is determined by adding net tangible book value per share after the
    Offering to the amount assumed paid by a new investor for a share of Class A
    Common Stock.
 
(3) Assuming the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, pro forma net
    tangible book value of the Company after the Offering would be $0.44 per
    share and the immediate dilution to new investors would be $13.56 per share.

A Common Stock in the Offering and by the existing stockholders, and the average

(1) Adjusted to reflect the pro forma effects, as applicable, of the Offering
    (including the application of estimated net proceeds of the Offering to
    repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and related interest
    expense), the Telcom Tax Advance of $3.5 million, the MCI Note Assumption
    and related interest expense, and the Merger (assuming such offering,
    advance, assumption and merger occurred on January 1, 1995, except for
    consolidated balance sheet data, which assumes such transactions occurred on
    June 30, 1996).
 
(2) In connection with the Offering and the Merger, the Company will be
    converting to a Subchapter C corporation under the Code. Prior to
    conversion, the Company has been a limited liability company for Federal and
    certain state income tax purposes. As such, income of the Company was
    taxable to the individual members rather than to the Company. Accordingly,
    the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1991 to
    1995, and the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 represents state
    income taxes on earned income in those states that do not recognize the
    flow-through nature of the limited liability company and foreign taxes. Pro
    forma net income is net of a provision for income taxes as if the Company
    were a Subchapter C corporation at an assumed effective income tax rate of
    approximately 40%. The amount of the pro forma provision for income taxes is
    $2,722,000 and $1,881,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six
    months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
 
(3) Pro forma net income per share has been computed by dividing pro forma net
    income by the pro forma weighted average number of common shares and common
    share equivalents outstanding. The amount of the weighted average shares
    used in the computation of pro forma net income per share is 18.25 million.
 
(4) EBITDA represents earnings before interest income, interest expense, other
    income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is commonly used
    in the telecommunications industry to analyze companies on the basis of
    operating performance, leverage and liquidity. EBITDA is not intended to
    represent cash flows for periods, nor has it been presented as an
    alternative to operating income or as an indicator of operating performance
    and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of
    performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles. See the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the
    Company's Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this
    Prospectus.
 
   
(5) Pro forma net income has been adjusted to reflect the pro forma effects of
    the conversion of the Company to a Subchapter C corporation (see (2) above).
    The amount of the pro forma provision for income taxes is $3,153,000 and
    $1,916,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended
    June 30, 1996, respectively. Weighted average shares used in the computation
    of pro forma net income per share is 15.5 million.
    
 
(6) Includes non-recurring payment of compensation expense of $0.9 million (net
    of applicable taxes) from the dividend to Telcom Ventures of the note
    receivable from Telcom Ventures held by the Company. See "Managements'
    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
    Liquidity, Capital Resources and other Financial Data -- Cash Flows." Also
    includes a non-recurring deferred tax benefit from conversion from a limited
    liability company to a Subchapter C corporation for income tax purposes,
    estimated to be approximately $6.9 million, the MCI Note Assumption, the
    Offering and the Telcom Tax Advance of $3.5 million.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
     LCC is one of the world's largest independent providers of RF engineering
and network design services and products to the wireless telecommunications
industry. The Company has provided these services, along with related
proprietary software tools and field measurement and analysis equipment, to
operators of more than 200 wireless systems in more than 40 countries.
 
     The Company's revenues are generated through contracts for RF engineering
and program management services, licenses of the Company's software products and
sales of the Company's field measurement and analysis products. LCC provides
engineering services on a contract basis, usually in a customized plan for each
client. The Company generally charges for engineering services on a time and
materials basis, although Phase 1 services or other projects of short duration
may involve a fixed price or success fee. The Company generally provides program
management services on a time and materials basis; such contracts often have
ceilings on cost per cell site. The Company's revenues also include
reimbursement for expenses, including the living expenses of engineers on
customer sites (approximately 15% of revenues from RF engineering services for
1995). The software tools used by LCC's engineers, which are used as part of the
customer's system after completion of the project pursuant to a license, are
recorded as product, not service revenues. Revenues from software tools are
earned under license arrangements, which in the U.S. often consist of an annual
fee per workstation or per cell site and which are for a fixed term that
requires renewal by the customer to retain the software. The Company charges an
up-front fee in many cases outside the U.S. where customers are not accustomed
to paying annual licensing fees for software. A portion of the revenues from
licensing software to customers, apart from those associated with engineering
services contracts, consists of upgrades or additional software modules
developed by the Company following the initial licensing. Revenues from field
measurement and analysis equipment consist primarily of one-time payments,
although there are some periodic rental payments and there may be additional
charges for equipment maintenance and upgrades.
 
     Service revenue consists of revenues from engineering services
(approximately 56.3% of 1995 revenues) and program management services
(approximately 5.0% of 1995 revenues), which the Company commenced providing in
1995. Product revenue consists of revenue from software tools (approximately
18.5% of 1995 revenues) and revenue from field measurement and analysis products
(approximately 20.2% of 1995 revenues). The Company derives a significant
proportion of its revenues from its international customers (approximately 39%
in 1995). Since almost all of the Company's contracts are denominated in U.S.
dollars, the Company generally does not maintain currency hedge agreements.
 
     Cost of revenues consists of costs associated with engineering design
services and program management services as well as costs associated with the
production and design of field measurement and analysis equipment, licensing of
software and related maintenance costs. Sales and marketing expenses consist of
salaries, sales commissions, travel and other expenses required to implement the
Company's marketing, sales and customer support plans. General and
administrative expenses consist of the compensation, finance, information
systems, professional services, office and occupancy costs required to manage
the Company's business. Non-cash compensation consists of awards under a program
for key executives adopted in 1994. Such plan is accounted for as a variable
plan and, therefore, to the extent that the deemed fair market value of the
Company increases, compensation expense will increase accordingly. It is
anticipated that, in connection with the Offering, the Company will grant
options to replace the awards granted under this plan. It is expected that such
options will be granted with exercise prices substantially below the initial
public offering price. See "Management -- Stock Plans."
 
     The key drivers of LCC's growth have historically been (i) the issuances of
new or additional wireless telecommunications licenses by governmental
authorities to wireless operators, (ii) increases in the number of cell sites
operated and the number of subscribers served by wireless network operators,
(iii) the introduction of new services or technologies, (iv) the increasing
complexity of the systems deployed by wireless network operations and (v) the
expansion and optimization of existing systems by wireless network operators. To
keep
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   27
 
   
pace with the subscriber growth currently anticipated by most industry analysts,
LCC expects that there will continue to be significant investment by network
system operators over the next few years in design services, software tools and
field measurement and analysis equipment. The Company expects that as system
build-out is completed and areas (particularly in the U.S.) begin to have
multiple network operators, the demand for RF engineering services will change.
See "Business -- The LCC Strategy Offer and Develop New Types of Services and
Products -- Phase 4 System Efficiency Services and Products." From 1991 to 1995,
the average operating gross margins of the Company were approximately 34.4% of
total revenue and the compound annual growth rate of its operating gross profit
was approximately 33.0%. Gross profits as a percent of total revenues generally
declined from 1993 through December 31, 1995 due to the factors described below.

  SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
 
     Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were
approximately $60.4 million compared to approximately $46.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of approximately $13.8 million or 29.6%.
Service revenues were approximately $39.3 million compared to approximately
$29.2 million for the comparable six months of the prior year, an increase of
approximately $10.1 million or 34.3%. The increase was due to new demand for
engineering design services from the PCS market and revenues generated by the
program management division, which commenced operations in 1995. Product
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were approximately $21.1 million
compared to approximately
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   28
 
$17.3 million for the comparable six months of the prior year, an increase of
approximately $3.8 million or 21.8%. The increase was due primarily to growth in
hardware sales, which increased approximately $2.3 million or 25.7% between
years.
 
     Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit. Cost of revenues was approximately $40.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to approximately $33.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of approximately
$7.8 million or 23.8%. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues was
67.6% and 70.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the six months ended
June 30, 1995, respectively. Gross profit was approximately $19.5 million for
the first six months of 1996 compared to approximately $13.6 million for the
comparable period of the prior year, an increase of approximately $5.9 million
or 43.9%. As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit was 32.4% and 29.2%
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The approximately
$5.9 million increase in gross profit largely resulted from corresponding
revenue growth. The increase in cost of revenues was due, in part, to the
Company's build-up of engineering and related staff to serve the PCS market,
particularly in the program management division.
 
     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $3.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to approximately $2.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of approximately
$0.1 million or 3.6%. As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing
expenses decreased to 5.0% for the first six months of 1996 compared to 6.3% for
the comparable period of 1995 primarily as a result of a reduction in labor
costs.
 
     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were
approximately $6.0 million for for the first six months of 1996 compared to $5.0
million for the first six months of 1995, an increase of approximately $1.0
million or 19.9%. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the
allowance for doubtful accounts due to increasing revenues. As a percentage of
total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 9.9% and 10.7% for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, as the increase in
revenues outpaced growth in general and administrative expenses.
 
     Non-Cash Compensation. Non-cash compensation increased to approximately
$3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, from approximately $2.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of approximately
$1.2 million or 51.7%. The increase is the result of the vesting of certain
portions of the award of non-cash compensation under the LLC Membership Plan and
an increase in the deemed fair market value of the Company.
 
     Net Income. Net income was approximately $3.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 compared to approximately $0.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, an increase of approximately $2.3 million or 307.1%. The
increase was the result of an increase in gross profit from corresponding
revenue growth, and an increase in other income due to the sale of the Company's
50% interest in Telemate, S.A. for approximately $3.8 million offset by an
increase in general and administrative expenses, non-cash compensation,
depreciation and amortization expenses, interest expense and income taxes.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $1.2 million the
first six months of 1996 to approximately $2.5 million as a result of the
increased amount of amortization of capitalized software development costs.
Interest expense increased approximately $0.6 million for the first six months
of 1996 to approximately $1.6 million primarily as a result of borrowings under
a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 30, 1995 between Nomura Holding
America, Inc. ("Nomura") and the Company (the "Nomura Facility") and costs
associated with the purchase of the Nomura Facility by Chase. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Financial Data -- Existing
Indebtedness." Income taxes increased approximately $1.0 million, or 133.4%, to
approximately $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily as a
result of revenue growth.
 
  YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
     Revenues. Revenues for 1995 were approximately $104.5 million versus
approximately $76.1 million for 1994, an increase of approximately $28.4 million
or 37.3%. Service revenues were approximately $64.0 million in 1995 versus
approximately $41.1 million in 1994, an increase of approximately $22.9 million
or 55.9%. The increase in service revenues was primarily due to new business in
the PCS market combined with an increase
 
                                       26
<PAGE>   29
 
in revenues from domestic cellular and ESMR operators. Further, the program
management division commenced operations in 1995 and had revenues of
approximately $5.2 million. Product revenues were approximately $40.5 million
for 1995 compared to approximately $35.0 million for 1994, an increase of
approximately $5.5 million or 15.6%. An increase in software licensing revenue
was offset by a slight decline in field measurement and analysis product sales.
The increase in software licensing revenue was largely due to increased
international revenues. The Company experienced a stagnant demand for its field
measurement and analysis products during 1994 (reflected in revenues from field
measurement and analysis products for 1995) when it devoted its resources to
enhancing its own field measurement and analysis product development
capabilities rather than developing new products.
 
     Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit. Cost of revenues increased to
approximately $71.1 million for 1995 compared to approximately $50.5 million for
1994, an increase of approximately $20.6 million or 40.9%. As a percentage of
total revenues, cost of revenues was approximately 68.1% and approximately 66.4%
for 1995 and 1994, respectively. Gross profit was approximately $33.3 million
for 1995 from approximately $25.6 million for 1994, an increase of approximately
$7.7 million or 30.3%. As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit was
approximately 31.9% and 33.6% for 1995 and 1994, respectively. The approximately
$7.7 million increase in gross profit largely resulted from corresponding
revenue growth. The increase in costs of revenues and the decline in gross
profit as a percentage of total revenues were due, in part, to the Company's
build-up of staff to serve the PCS business which was followed by the slower
than anticipated development of that business, competitive pressures with
respect to field measurement and analysis products and software tools, and costs
associated with the start-up of the program management division.
 
     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $5.8
million for 1995 compared to approximately $5.0 million for 1994, an increase of
approximately $0.8 million, or 16.8%. The increase was primarily attributable to
growth in the Company's marketing personnel to support the increase in revenues.
As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to
approximately 5.6% for 1995 compared to 6.6% for 1994, as a result of a greater
rate of increase in revenues relative to the growth in sales and marketing
expenses.
 
     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were
approximately $10.1 million for 1995 compared to approximately $8.8 million for
1994, an increase of approximately $1.3 million or 14.8%. The increase was
primarily the result of increases in the Company's administrative personnel to
support growth. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative
expenses were approximately 9.7% and approximately 11.6% for 1995 and 1994,
respectively, due to the fixed nature of certain overhead costs.
 
     Non-Cash Compensation. Non-cash compensation increased to approximately
$4.6 million for 1995 from approximately $3.3 million for 1994, an increase of
approximately $1.3 million or 42.7%. The increase was the result of an increase
in the vesting of the awards under the LLC Membership Plan and an increase in
the deemed fair market value of the Company.
 
     Net Income. Net income was approximately $4.7 million for 1995 compared to
approximately $5.0 million for 1994, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million or
4.6%. As a percent of total revenues, net income decreased to approximately 4.5%
for 1995 from approximately 6.5% for 1994. The decrease in net income of $0.3
million was the result of an increases in operating expenses, interest expense,
and the provision for income taxes. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased as a result of the capitalization and amortization of external costs
incurred by the Company in connection with the upgrade of its financial
information systems. Interest expense increased approximately $2.1 million or
293.0% for 1995 as a result of additional borrowings under the Nomura Facility
which was used to dividend and loan funds to Telcom Ventures. Income taxes
increased approximately $1.1 million or 54.2% for 1995 as a result of an
increase in the absolute amount of international revenues.
 
  YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
 
     Revenues. Revenues for 1994 were approximately $76.1 million compared to
approximately $60.3 million for 1993, an increase of approximately $15.8 million
or 26.1%. Service revenues were approximately $41.1 million for 1994 versus
approximately $30.7 million for 1993, an increase of approximately $10.4 million
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   30
 
or 33.7%. Engineering design services accounted for the entire increase as the
program management services did not commence until 1995. The increase in
engineering design services revenues was primarily due to significantly
increased revenues from domestic cellular and ESMR operators. International
engineering design service revenues grew at a slower rate in 1994 due to the
completion of several major European projects, which were offset by a broadening
of the Company's international client base. Product revenues were approximately
$35.0 million for 1994 versus approximately $29.6 million for 1993, an increase
of approximately $5.4 million or 18.2%. An increase in field measurement and
analysis product sales was offset by a decline in software licensing revenue.
The increase in field measurement and analysis product sales was primarily due
to increases in European sales and sales to ESMR operators. In addition, sales
to domestic cellular operators and to systems operators in Asia and South
America increased. The decline in software licensing revenues was a result of
increased customer requirements for UNIX-based products at a time when the
Company's UNIX-based products were still being developed, as well as increased
competition in software products.
 
     Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit. Cost of revenues was approximately $50.5
million for 1994 compared to $37.1 million for 1993, an increase of
approximately $13.4 million or 36.0%. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of
revenues was approximately 66.4% and approximately 61.5% for 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Gross profit was approximately $25.6 million for 1994 compared to
$23.2 million for 1993, an increase of approximately $2.4 million or 10.2%. As a
percentage of total revenues, gross profit was approximately 33.6% for 1994
compared to approximately 38.5% for 1993. The approximately $2.4 million
increase in gross profit resulted primarily from corresponding revenue growth.
The increase in the cost of revenues and the decline in gross profit as a
percentage of total revenues were due, in part, to an investment in training and
process development for PCS capabilities by the engineering design services
division and increased cost of software products relative to licensing revenues
as a result of technical issues associated with the development of UNIX-based
products.
 
     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $5.0
million for 1994 compared to approximately $4.1 million for 1993, an increase of
approximately $0.9 million or 20.3%. As a percentage of total revenues, sales
and marketing expenses declined slightly to approximately 6.6% for 1994 as
compared to approximately 6.9% for 1993. The increase of approximately $0.9
million was primarily due to an increase in commissions paid to agents.
 
     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were
approximately $8.8 million for 1994 compared to approximately $5.8 million for
1993, an increase of approximately $3.0 million or 51.8%. As a percentage of
total revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to approximately
11.6% for 1994 from approximately 9.6% for 1993. The increase was primarily due
to an increase in administrative labor costs as a result of revenue growth.
 
     Non-Cash Compensation. During 1994 the Company established the LLC
Membership Plan for certain of the Company's key executives whose
responsibilities and decisions affect the long-term growth and profitability of
the Company. Expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award and is
based on a percentage of the deemed fair market value of the Company. Non-cash
compensation under the LLC Membership Plan was approximately $3.3 million for
1994.
 
     Net Income. Net income was approximately $5.0 million for 1994 compared to
approximately $10.5 million for 1993, a decrease of approximately $5.5 million
or 52.7%. As a percent of total revenues, net income declined to approximately
6.5% for 1994 from approximately 17.4% for 1993. The decrease in net income was
primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses,
establishment of the LLC Membership Plan and an increase in income taxes of
approximately $1.2 million or 145.7%. The increase in income taxes was due to an
increased amount of foreign income taxes as a result of an expanding
international presence.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA
 
   
     Additions to property and equipment were approximately $4.2 million for
1995, compared to approximately $2.4 million for 1994 and approximately $1.9
million for 1993. Approximately $0.9 million of the $1.8 million increase from
1994 to 1995 related to an upgrade of the Company's financial information
systems software. The remainder of the increase from 1994 to 1995 and the
approximately $0.5 million increase from 1993 to 1994 represented ongoing
additions to office furniture and computer equipment, largely in support of the
Company's expanding revenue base. Software development costs are primarily wages
and contractor fees which are capitalized after establishing the commercial and
technological feasibility of the product.

  CASH FLOWS
 
     The Company has generally maintained a positive cash flow and has generally
funded its operating requirements with cash generated from operations. Cash and
cash equivalents were approximately $5.4 million at June 30, 1996, a decrease of
approximately $1.1 million or 17.3% from December 31, 1995. The decrease is due
primarily to changes in operating assets and liabilities. No dividends were paid
during the six months ended June 30, 1996. Dividends paid during the six months
ended June 30, 1995 were $9.5 million. During the six months ended June 30,
1996, the Company advanced approximately $4.8 million to its parent, Telcom
Ventures, under a revolving promissory note. Total advances of $14.1 million at
June 30, 1996 are reflected as a reduction of members' capital in the statement
of members' capital in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
     Net cash generated from operations was approximately $4.8 million in 1995
and approximately $8.0 million in 1994. Net cash used in operations was
approximately $4.2 million in 1993. Dividends paid were approximately $9.5
million in 1995, approximately $9.3 million in 1994 and approximately $7.7
million in 1993. In addition, during 1995 the Company loaned approximately $9.4
million to Telcom Ventures under a revolving promissory note, classified as a
reduction of members' capital in the statement of members' capital in the
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
     Cash and cash equivalents were $6.6 million at December 31, 1995, a
decrease of approximately $11.9 million or 64.4% from 1994. The decrease was due
primarily to the $9.4 million loan to Telcom Ventures, additional purchases of
equipment and increased software development costs. Cash and cash equivalents
were approximately $18.5 million at December 31, 1994, an increase of
approximately $9.3 million or 101.4% from December 31, 1993. The increase was
primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of convertible subordinated debt in
June 1994 (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
 
     Working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and current portion of
note payable) was approximately $21.5 million at June 30, 1996 versus $21.1
million at December 31, 1995, an increase of approximately $0.4 million or 2.0%.
The increase is primarily the result of an increase in unbilled and trade
accounts receivables offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses.
 
     Working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents) was $21.1 million at
December 31, 1995 versus approximately $13.0 million at December 31, 1994, an
increase of approximately $8.1 million or 61.7%. The increase was primarily due
to an increase in trade receivables as a result of higher overall sales
activity, higher export sales and a generally slower collection of receivables.
 
     Working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and current portion of
note payable) was approximately $13.0 million at December 31, 1994 versus
approximately $26.0 million at December 31, 1993, a decrease of approximately
$13.0 million or 49.8%. The decrease was primarily the result of the transfer to
Telcom Ventures of certain investments during the formation of the Limited
Liability Company in 1994.

  CAPITAL RAISED TO DATE
 
     The Limited Liability Company was capitalized in January 1994 with a
contribution of $16.7 million from Telcom Ventures in exchange for a 99%
interest in the Limited Liability Company. Telcom Ventures' capital contribution
consisted of approximately $6.4 million in the form of assets, net of
liabilities assumed, formerly employed by the Founder Corporation and affiliates
in the Company's business, which were transferred to the Limited Liability
Company at their respective carrying values, and approximately $10.3 million in
cash received by Telcom Ventures from the Carlyle Investors. The Founder
Corporation and TC Group (on behalf of the Carlyle Investors) received 0.75% and
0.25% interests in the Limited Liability Company.
 
     The Company has raised capital on several occasions since the beginning of
1994, but on most occasions has used such capital to make distributions to the
Limited Liability Company's owner, Telcom Ventures, for use by Telcom Ventures
in its investment activities, which consist of investments in wireless license
holders in Asia and Latin America. Such distributions have included (i) a
dividend of the proceeds of and the guarantee by the Company of the Telcom
Ventures Note (see below); (ii) the loan to Telcom Ventures of approximately
$9.4 million of the proceeds of the issuance of $10 million of Variable Rate
Guaranteed Senior Secured Notes to Nomura in June 1995; and (iii) advances to
Telcom Ventures of approximately $3.1 million in January 1996 of certain
proceeds from the sale of the Company's interest in Telemate, S.A. In March
1996, the Company borrowed $10 million from Chase to fund two investments in
customers, aggregating $11.5 million, as part of arrangements involving
contracts aggregating $115 million in orders for services and products over the
next five years. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
  EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS
 
     In June 1994, the Company and Telcom Ventures sold $20 million and $30
million, respectively, of notes to MCI, which notes are exchangeable, at certain
times, consisting of 45 day periods commencing in June and August of 1997, 1998
and 1999, into 2,841,099 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company distributed
the proceeds of its loan to Telcom Ventures, for use by Telcom Ventures in its
investment activities, as discussed in more detail above. The $30 million owed
by Telcom Ventures, which has been guaranteed by the Company, will be assumed by
the Company immediately prior to the Merger. The Company presently intends to
exercise its option in August 1997 to cause the Exchangeable Notes to be
exchanged into Class A Common Stock. The events of default under the
Exchangeable Notes (which would cause such notes to become due and payable)
include non-payment and bankruptcy. See "The MCI Notes, MCI Note Assumption, MCI
Conversion."
 
     Effective May 30, 1995, the Company entered into the Nomura Facility under
which Nomura agreed to purchase from LLC up to $15 million of Variable Rate
Guaranteed Senior Secured Notes (the "Nomura Notes"), $10 million of which were
issued on June 5, 1995. The Nomura Notes were secured by substantially all the
assets of the Limited Liability Company and a pledge of all of Telcom Ventures'
membership interest in the Limited Liability Company. Chase purchased the Nomura
Notes in March 1996 and became the lender under these notes. Also in March 1996,
the Company borrowed an additional $10 million from Chase to fund two
investments in customers, aggregating $11.5 million, as part of arrangements
involving contracts aggregating $115 million in orders for services and products
over the next five years. See "Business -- The LCC Strategy -- Establish
Strategic Relationships with Carriers and Equipment Vendors."
 
   
     In June 1996, the Limited Liability Company and its subsidiaries entered
into the Credit Facility with Chase, as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders,
which Credit Facility will be transferred to LCC International and amended and
restated to reflect the transactions contemplated by the Merger immediately
prior to the closing of the Offering. The Credit Facility consists of a
revolving loan and letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $20 million. The revolving loan commitment will expire in
September 1999. Subject to certain restrictions on the minimum permitted amount
of any prepayment and the requirement that certain notices of prepayment be
given to Chase, the principal of the revolving loans is prepayable without
penalty or premium, so long as the Lenders are compensated for losses, costs and
expenses attributable to any prepayment of any loan accruing interest at the
Fixed Rate on a date other than the last day of the applicable interest period.
Interest under the Credit Facility accrues at the Company's election (subject to
certain restrictions and limitations contained in the Credit Agreement), at
either (i) the Variable Rate
    
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   33
 
   
equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, and (b) the
announced prime commercial lending rate of Chase, or (ii) the Fixed Rate for a
designated period of time (1, 2, 3 or 6 months) equal to the rate at which U.S.
dollar deposits are offered to leading banks in the London interbank market plus
1.25%.
    
 
   
     The payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under the
Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company,
including the stock and membership interests of its subsidiaries. The Credit
Facility requires that the Company satisfy certain financial tests, including
the maintenance of certain leverage, debt service and other financial ratios,
and that the Company meet certain minimum quarterly operating cash flow
requirements. The Credit Facility also contains certain restrictive covenants
which impose restrictions and/or limitations on the operations and activities of
the Company including, among other things: the incurrence of indebtedness and
the terms thereof, the creation or incurrence of liens, investments and
acquisitions, sales of assets, declaration or payment of dividends on or other
payments or distributions to stockholders and capital expenditures. The Credit
Facility provides for various events of default, including interest or principal
payments defaults, breach of any condition or covenant that (in certain cases)
continues unremedied for 30 days, materially adverse events, the rendering of
one or more material judgments against the Company or any subsidiary thereof
which is not vacated, satisfied, discharged, or stayed within 30 days, and
certain events relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. The
Credit Facility is guaranteed by Telcom Ventures, provided that the guarantee of
the Credit Facility will terminate upon consummation of the Offering assuming
that no event of default is then existing thereunder. The Company intends to
repay all amounts that will be outstanding under the Credit Facility
(approximately $20 million) with proceeds of the Offering.
    
 
TAXES
 
   
     Prior to the Merger, the Company has generally not been liable for U.S.
Federal and state income taxes. States that did not recognize the limited
liability company as a flow-through entity required the Limited Liability
Company to be taxed as if it were a corporation. The Company has been and will
continue to be subject, however, to taxation on income in certain countries in
North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East, where
the Company has either established branch offices or has performed significant
services which constitute a permanent establishment for tax reporting purposes.
Following the Merger, the Company will not be a flow-through entity and will be
liable for applicable income taxes. The Company has established a provision for
state and foreign income taxes. See Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
3 and 9 thereto.
    
 
INFLATION
 
     The financial statements are presented on a historical cost basis and do
not fully reflect the impact of prior years' inflation. It is estimated that the
cost of replacing equipment today is greater than its historical cost.
Accordingly, depreciation expense would be greater if the expense were stated on
a current cost basis.

                                    BUSINESS
 
     LCC is one of the world's largest independent providers of RF engineering
and network design services and products to the wireless telecommunications
industry. The Company has provided these services, along with related
proprietary software tools and field measurement and analysis equipment, to
operators of more than 200 wireless systems in more than 40 countries. The
Company intends to leverage its leadership position and its relationships with
major wireless customers to benefit from the expected significant growth in
wireless networks worldwide.
 
     The Company has provided services and products to seven of the ten largest
U.S. cellular system operators; large international cellular operators,
including British Telcom, France Telcom and Mannesmann; companies building or
proposing to build PCS systems, including AT&T Wireless Services, Pacific Bell
Mobile Services, NextWave Telcom and DCR; operators of ESMR systems, including
Nextel Communications; and operators of two-way messaging systems. The customers
listed above each contributed 5% or more of the Company's consolidated revenues
(10% or more in the case of Nextel) during one or more of fiscal years 1991
through 1995 (or, in the case of NextWave Telcom and DCR, have entered into
agreements to purchase services and products aggregating $115 million over
approximately the next five years). Many of the Company's major customers have
entered into partnerships with international wireless operators, which has
enabled the Company to obtain significant new business from such operators. The
Company also has established working relationships with two major
telecommunications equipment vendors, pursuant to which the Company provides
services and products on a subcontract basis.
 
     LCC believes that its 26.9% compound annual growth in revenues over the
past five years has been fueled primarily by the growth of the wireless
telecommunications industry. The Company derives a significant portion of its
revenues from its international customers (approximately 39% in 1995). A
substantial number of new wireless network licenses have been awarded worldwide
over the last five years, and the Company expects a significant number of
additional wireless licenses to be awarded in the next few years. Construction
of new networks, and optimization of existing networks, require substantial
amounts of RF engineering services and products. In addition, many existing
systems are continuing to grow; LCC estimates that operators of wireless
networks operating at capacity add a new cell site, requiring additional RF
engineering services, for every approximately 1,500 new subscribers added.
 
     LCC's approximately 370 RF engineers provide engineering solutions to
operators of a wide range of wireless networks, incorporating all major wireless
technologies available today, including TDMA (which includes GSM, DCS and
IS-136), CDMA, iDEN, AMPS and ETACS. LCC believes that it is the largest
employer of RF engineers in the world and believes that this is a substantial
competitive advantage, especially with respect to large customers. LCC provides
(or, in the case of Phase 4, is developing) services and products for operators
involved in all four phases of wireless system development: (i) Phase
1 -- bidding for the licenses necessary to build and operate the system; (ii)
Phase 2 -- build-out of the system; (iii) Phase 3 -- optimization and
enhancement of the system to meet the requirements of an increasing subscriber
base and to provide increased quality and coverage; and (iii) Phase
4 -- achievement of greater efficiencies in providing service in order to
compete in areas where there are multiple system operators.
 
THE LCC STRATEGY
 
     The Company's objective is to maintain its position as one of the world's
largest independent providers of RF engineering and network design services and
products to the wireless telecommunications industry, and to increase its market
share by pursuing multiple growth paths. The key elements in the Company's
strategy are to:
 
  MAINTAIN TECHNOLOGICAL LEADERSHIP
 
     LCC believes that it has the most sophisticated and diversified
technological capabilities (incorporating all major wireless technologies
available today) in the wireless network design industry and intends to maintain
its technological leadership. The Company is continuously working on new
software releases and field measurement and analysis product upgrades to keep
its products technologically equal or superior to
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   35
 
those of its competitors. One of LCC's principal assets is its staff of
approximately 370 highly trained and experienced RF engineers, which the Company
believes is considerably larger than the engineering staff of any other
independent company in its field. LCC's engineers have experience working in,
and have prepared wireless design databases for, many of the world's
metropolitan areas, which the Company believes gives LCC a significant advantage
in pursuing new business in these areas.
 
  LEVERAGE LARGE INSTALLED CUSTOMER BASE
 
     LCC has a substantial customer base among major wireless network system
operators worldwide. Its services and products have been used in virtually every
major market in the U.S. and in more than 40 foreign countries. The Company
believes that its large customer base gives it a significant advantage in
obtaining additional business for its existing and new products and services.
LCC believes that if it provides the original network design services to a
customer, it has an advantage over competitors in offering follow-on services
relating to expansion or optimization of that customer's network. In addition,
many of the Company's major customers have entered into partnerships with
international wireless operators, from which the Company has received
significant business. Typically, a substantial portion of the Company's revenues
in a given year are generated by customers for which the Company has previously
performed services or provided products.
 
  PURSUE INTERNATIONAL GROWTH
 
     Approximately 39% of the Company's revenues during 1995 was derived from
international customers. The Company believes that the growth of the
international wireless industry over the next several years will be substantial.
In particular, foreign governments have been awarding, and are expected to
continue to award, a large number of new wireless system licenses. The Company
is devoting significant efforts to increasing its market share of international
business, and is particularly focused on providing planning services to
companies that are participating in government tender processes for new license
grants. The Company has found that the provision of such services often result
in engineering contracts if such companies receive licenses.
 
  PURSUE NEW MARKETS
 
     The Company is pursuing growth in several new areas, as follows:
 
          PCS. According to the FCC, over $17.9 billion has been spent or
     committed to acquire new PCS licenses in the U.S. over the past two years,
     and each of the licensed areas must be built out over the five years
     following the date of the license grant. The Company expects that such new
     licensees will account for a significant portion of the demand for the
     Company's services and products over the next several years. The Company's
     efforts in this area include working with new or potential licensees in the
     initial designs of their systems and making investments in new PCS entities
     in return for significant contracts to be implemented over the next several
     years.
 
          New Wireless Networks and Technologies. The development of new types
     of wireless networks and new wireless technologies, including private
     corporate networks, wireless cable (LMDS and MMDS) services, wireless local
     loop and wireless high speed data services, is expected to result in
     additional potential customers for the Company's services and products.
 
          Analog to Digital Conversion. The Company expects that many cellular
     operators will convert from an analog to a digital format in the next
     several years, and that this conversion will result in additional demand
     for the Company's services and products. LCC currently offers products and
     services to operators of wireless systems utilizing both existing analog
     technologies and virtually all forms of digital technology.
 
  OFFER AND DEVELOP NEW TYPES OF SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
 
     The Company is seeking new business by offering or developing new types of
services and products, including the following:
 
          Program Management Services. Program management involves the
     procurement and management, on a turnkey basis, of a range of services and
     products relating to deployment or expansion of wireless
 
                                       33
<PAGE>   36
 
     networks, including systems integration, site acquisition, site
     engineering, procurement management, construction management, installation
     and commissioning, and customer training. These management services are
     often packaged with the Company's traditional RF and network engineering
     services, software tools and field measurement and analysis equipment. To
     provide program management, LCC has affiliated with commercial real estate
     firms (for site acquisition), architectural engineering firms and
     contracting and construction firms. The Company believes that an increasing
     number of wireless system operators are attracted to this approach, and
     that program management will increase revenues from RF engineering services
     in addition to providing revenues from new services.
 
          Phase 4 System Efficiency Services and Products. The Company believes
     that wireless network operators will experience greater price competition
     and will place greater emphasis on containing costs and system efficiency.
     The Company is developing new RF network engineering services and products
     to increase system efficiency and manage costs in the multiple-operator
     environment expected to develop in the next few years.
 
  ESTABLISH STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH CARRIERS AND EQUIPMENT VENDORS
 
     The Company has entered into strategic relationships with new wireless
carriers and major equipment vendors as a means of obtaining new business
opportunities. For example, LCC has helped applicants seeking licenses in formal
foreign government license grant processes. LCC's involvement in successful
license tenders has generally led to contracts with winning applicants as they
implement new systems. The Company has provided financing aggregating $11.5
million, to NextWave Telcom and DCR, the two top bidders in the
recently-concluded C-band auctions for broadband PCS licenses. See Note 19 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company intends to pursue additional
relationships, including financing and investment arrangements, using proceeds
from the Offering, as a means of obtaining new business. The Company also has
established working relationships with two major telecommunications equipment
vendors, pursuant to which the Company provides services and products on a
subcontract basis. The Company intends to pursue similar relationships with
other equipment vendors.
 
  PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS
 
     The Company intends to pursue acquisitions of companies that have
developed, or are developing, complementary products and services, particularly
systems efficiency products, that could be bundled with the Company's services
or that the Company would otherwise develop over the next few years. LCC
believes that such acquisitions will move LCC ahead more quickly in the
development of products or the recruiting of technical staff.
 
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
 
  OVERVIEW
 
     Wireless telecommunications networks use a variety of radio frequencies to
transmit voice and data. Wireless telecommunications networks include two-way
radio applications, such as cellular, wide band and narrow band PCS and ESMR
networks, and one-way radio applications, such as paging services. Each
application operates within a distinct radio frequency block. Although cellular
represents the largest segment of the wireless communications industry, other
wireless technologies are expected to grow significantly.
 
  TYPES OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
 
     Cellular. Demand for commercial cellular services has grown dramatically
since its introduction in the early 1980's. According to the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association ("CTIA"), in the U.S. alone, service
revenues have grown from $482 million in 1985 to over $19 billion in 1995 and
the number of cellular users in the U.S. grew from 340,000 at the end of 1985 to
over 30 million at December 1995, a compound annual growth rate of 57.2%.
According to Mobile Communications, the number of cellular users in Western
Europe grew from 270,000 in 1985 to 22.6 million in 1995 (a compound annual
growth rate of 55.7%).
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   37
 
     The cellular industry is well established in the developed world. Cellular
is growing rapidly in developing countries because of the generally poor quality
of the existing phone service, the unsatisfied demand for basic telephone
service and the increasing demand from mobile users who want the convenience of
cellular. In some countries, the cellular network provides significantly
improved access to the local and international wireline telephone network
compared to existing wireline telephone service. According to the U.S.
Department of Commerce, at the end of 1995, there were approximately 87 million
cellular subscribers worldwide.
 
     PCS. In 1993, the FCC allocated a portion of the radio spectrum for the
provision of a new wireless communications service, commonly known as PCS. In
the U.S., PCS differs from traditional cellular service principally in that PCS
systems will operate at a higher frequency range and employ different digital
technologies. PCS is expected to offer greater feature functionality resulting
in lower cost service options, lighter handsets with longer battery lives and
new and enhanced service offerings such as the provision of all services to one
mobile number, medium-speed data transmissions to and from portable computers,
advanced paging services and facsimile services. Economic and Management
Consultants International, Inc. ("EMCI") estimates that, of the approximately 71
million wireless subscribers expected by the year 2000 in the U.S., 20 million,
or 28%, will be PCS users. Licenses to operate PCS networks were awarded in the
United States through auctions conducted during 1995 (the A- and B-blocks, which
involved licenses for large areas known as MTAs) and are expected to be granted
during 1996 (the C-block, which involved licenses for smaller metropolitan and
rural areas known as BTAs). According to the FCC, over $17.9 billion has been
spent or committed to acquire new PCS licenses (for MTAs and BTAs) in the U.S.
over the past two years, and each of the licensed areas must be built out over
the five years from the respective license grant dates.
 
     ESMR. Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio is a mobile communication service
that relies on specialized mobile radio frequencies that have been historically
limited to two-way voice communications in small local networks (such as for
taxi or messenger dispatch). As a result of advances in digital technology, ESMR
operators have begun to design and deploy digital mobile networks that increase
the frequency capacity of ESMR systems to a level that may be competitive with
that of cellular systems. A limited number of ESMR operators have recently begun
offering short messaging, data services and interconnected voice telephony
services on a limited basis. Companies such as Nextel Communications (in the
U.S.), Clearnet Communications (in Canada) and Tricom (in Mexico) have acquired
licenses for ESMR two-way radio channels in their respective operating areas and
are beginning to offer wireless voice services over their networks.
 
     Paging. Paging is a method of wireless telecommunications that uses an
assigned radio frequency to contact a paging subscriber anywhere within a
service area. Each paging subscriber is assigned a distinct telephone number
which a caller dials to activate a subscriber's pager (a pocket-size radio
carried by the subscriber). The radio signal causes the pager to emit a beep or
vibrate and to provide the subscriber with information from the caller in the
form of a voice, time, numeric or alphanumeric message. EMCI estimates that the
number of pagers in service in the U.S. increased at a compound annual growth
rate of approximately 26.5% to approximately 27.3 million units from 1984 to
1994 and that the total number of paging devices in use worldwide by the year
1999 will exceed 130 million.
 
     Other. Wireless cable (LMDS, MMDS), wireless local loop (a system that
eliminates the need for a wire loop connecting users to the public switched
telephone network) and wireless high speed data services represent other areas
of the wireless communications industry being developed by operators in the U.S.
and abroad.
 
  WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES
 
     Most cellular and other services currently transmit voice and data signals
over analog-based systems, which use one continuous electronic signal that
varies in amplitude or frequency over a single radio channel. Digital systems,
on the other hand, convert voice or data signals into a stream of digits that is
compressed before transmission, enabling a single radio channel to carry
multiple simultaneous signal transmissions. This enhanced capacity, along with
enhancements in digital protocols (discussed below), allows digital-based
wireless technologies to offer new and enhanced services, such as greater call
privacy and single number (or
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   38
 
"find me") service, and more data transmission features, such as "mobile office"
applications (including facsimile, electronic mail and connecting notebook
computers with computer/data networks).
 
     Digital signal transmission is accomplished through the use of frequency
management technologies, or "protocols." Two common protocols used in cellular
and other networks "manage" the radio channel either by dividing it into
distinct time slots (a method known as Time Division Multiple Access, or "TDMA")
or by assigning specific coding instructions to each packet of digitized data
that comprises a signal (a method known as Code Division Multiple Access, or
"CDMA"). In the U.S., the FCC has intentionally avoided mandating a universal
digital signaling protocol, and three principal digital signal protocols (which
are incompatible with each other) are currently being used in the U.S. for PCS
networks: GSM, CDMA and IS-136. European Union countries generally have agreed
to adopt GSM as a common standard protocol for cellular and PCS transmission and
approximately 60 countries, including virtually all countries in Western Europe,
have issued or propose to issue GSM 900 MHz licenses. The universal GSM standard
is designed to allow subscribers to roam throughout Europe and wherever else GSM
technology has been adopted. Other wireless technologies are also presently in
use for a variety of different types of transmission. The Company has expertise
in all these technologies.
 
     Existing analog cellular networks are gradually converting to digital
technology. This conversion has occurred in many of the largest cellular service
areas, such as Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, due in part to capacity
constraints. As carriers reach limited capacity levels, certain calls may be
unable to be completed, especially during peak hours. The conversion from analog
to digital technology is expected to be an industry-wide process in the U.S.
that will take several years. PCS providers, which do not have the existing
analog-based plant and equipment, are expected to move directly to digital
technology.
 
  OPERATION OF TWO-WAY WIRELESS SYSTEMS
 
     Two-way wireless service areas are divided into multiple regions called
"cells," each of which contains a base station consisting of a low-power
transmitter, a receiver and signaling equipment. The cells are typically
configured on a grid pattern, although terrain factors (including natural and
man-made obstructions) and signal coverage patterns may result in irregularly
shaped cells and overlaps or gaps in coverage. Cellular system cells generally
have a radius ranging from two miles to 25 miles. PCS system cells are expected
to have a radius ranging from one-quarter mile to 12 miles, depending on the PCS
technology being used and the terrain. Since each cell site requires engineering
services, growth in the number of cell sites is one of the key drivers of demand
for the Company's products and services. The base station in each cell is
connected by microwave, fiber optic cable or telephone wires to a switch, which
uses computers and specially developed software to control the operation of the
wireless telephone system for its entire service area. The switch controls the
transfer of calls from cells within the system and connects calls to the local
landline telephone system or to a long distance telephone carrier.
 
     Wireless transmission requires a certain signal strength for the parties to
hear each other or for data to be received. The signal strength of a
transmission between handset and a base station declines as the handset moves
away from the base station, so the switch and the base stations monitor the
signal strength of calls in progress. When the signal strength of a call
declines to a predetermined level, the switch may "hand off" the call to another
base station that can establish a stronger signal with the handset. Hand-off to
an adjacent system must be effected through an appropriate technical interface
when a handset leaves the service area of the wireless service provider. The
quality of wireless transmission depends in part on signal strength, limitations
imposed by the terrain and interference from other uses of radio signals.
Transmission quality is measured in the field at various locations so that
adjustments can be made to enhance quality.
 
     Each wireless network is planned and laid out to meet a certain level of
subscriber density and traffic demand and to provide a certain geographic
coverage. Each transmission over the wireless network requires a certain amount
of radio frequency, so a system's capacity is limited by the amount of frequency
that is available. The same frequency can be reused by each separate
transmitter, subject to certain interference limitations. The design of each
wireless system involves placement of transmission equipment in locations that
will make optimal use of available frequency based upon projected subscriber
usage patterns, subject to
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   39
 
availability of such locations and ability to use them for wireless
transmissions under applicable zoning requirements.
 
     After a wireless system has been installed, the system's capacity can be
increased in various ways, by (i) adding available frequency capacity to cells
as required, if such capacity is available, (ii) using directional antennae to
divide a cell into discrete multiple sectors or coverage areas, thereby reducing
the required distance between cells using the same frequency, or (iii) "cell
splitting" (i.e., dividing a single cell into a number of smaller cells served
by lower-power transmitters, thereby increasing the ability to reuse radio
frequencies and increasing the number of calls that can be handled in a given
area). Additional solutions are being designed to increase network capacity and
coverage, including (i) the introduction of microcells, which can be placed very
close together to increase frequency reuse and the total capacity of the
cellular network and which can be placed within buildings, train stations and
other structures to provide coverage where none was available before and (ii)
the introduction of digital technologies, which increase the number of
conversations which can be transported on a single radio carrier from two to
potentially more than ten times, depending on the type of digital technology
deployed.
 
  ENGINEERING SERVICES AND PRODUCTS FOR THE WIRELESS INDUSTRY
 
     The planning, geographic layout, build out and operation of a wireless
network requires significant RF engineering work. The RF engineer must design
the wireless network to meet the operator's requirements for transmission over
the wireless network, which requirements are based upon a projected level of
subscriber density and traffic demand and the coverage area specified by the
operator's license or cost-benefit decisions. In addition to meeting basic
transmission requirements, the RF network design must make optimal use of
available radio frequency and result in the highest possible signal quality for
the greatest portion of projected subscriber usage within existing constraints.
These constraints may be imposed by cost parameters, terrain, limitations in the
license, interference with other operators, availability of cells, applicable
zoning requirements and other factors. The complexity of network design and
large number of variables requires the RF engineer to rely on advanced
technology including specially-developed software design tools. As the design is
implemented and the network is built out, the system's performance must be
tested in the field with field measurement and analysis equipment so that
optimization adjustments can be made.
 
     Set forth below is a description of the life cycle of a typical wireless
system:

                                       subscriber base and to provide increased
                                       quality and coverage

</TABLE>
 
     Phase 1.  In Phase 1, the pursuit of the licenses necessary to build and
operate the system, a rough engineering design is often required to determine
construction costs and revenue generating ability of the system.
 
     Phase 2.  A substantial amount of engineering services are required for
Phase 2, the actual design and build-out of the wireless system. Detailed site
location designs are prepared, interference to or from co-located antennae is
checked, site performance is measured after completing construction and,
finally, the site is optimized to work with neighboring sites. Wireless network
operators (even the few which have sizable internal engineering staffs)
typically rely on outside RF engineering companies, such as LCC, for Phase 2.
Depending on the size of the system, this phase can involve from four RF
engineers for a typical small system,
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   40
 
to 15 RF engineers for a typical medium-sized system to up to 100 RF engineers
for a nationwide deployment (all of whom require software design tools) over a
period of 12 to 24 months. LCC believes that the number of RF engineers is
limited (the Company estimates that there are only approximately 2,000 RF
engineers in the U.S.).
 
     Phase 3. As the number of subscribers handled by the wireless system
increases, the system enters Phase 3, in which RF engineering services are
necessary to expand the system by adding cell sites or using other techniques to
increase system coverage and capacity. The system must also be optimized to meet
the increased subscriber usage from the new cell cites and to provide increased
quality and coverage. In network expansions, the operator typically continues to
rely on the RF engineering company, such as LCC, to design the expansion and
make optimization adjustments to the existing system. Although the network
software and system databases included therein are already in place from the
design phase, the software license obtained from the RF engineering company
generally only allows the operator to use the software. Since the cost of
obtaining replacement software and generating a separate database through a new
provider of RF engineering services is substantial, the original RF engineering
firm has a significant competitive advantage in follow-on work with existing
customers. Since each new cell site requires additional RF engineering, the
increase in cell sites is a key driver of the demand for RF engineering services
and products.
 
     Phase 4. Eventually the system will enter Phase 4, in which the operator
must achieve greater efficiencies in service provision in order to compete in
areas where there are multiple system operators. In various European countries
and Australia, certain systems have recently entered Phase 4. In the U.S., since
cellular service arose in a duopoly environment, it is only with the
construction of new PCS systems that wireless networks will reach Phase 4.
 
SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
 
  BACKGROUND
 
     In the early 1980's, when the FCC began to issue licenses for cellular
systems, wireless system design was an unsophisticated process. Since minimal
data had been collected on system performance and limited engineering had been
done, LCC (following its formation in 1983) worked to develop a standard method
of applying design engineering principles to wireless system design. The method
included the development of software to accelerate and automate the design
process, and use of such software with digitized system coverage maps, enabling
the engineer to measure the effect of changes to various system parameters or
use of different locations for cell sites. Over time, LCC gathered significant
amounts of data on various system configurations, improving the ability of its
engineering models to predict system coverage. LCC also developed a large staff
of RF engineers experienced in conducting the design analysis. Moreover, because
the field measurement and analysis equipment required for verification and
measurement of wireless system performance in the field was generally
unsophisticated, LCC created its own field measurement and analysis equipment.
Originally, RF engineering focused principally on the cellular industry.
Although the services provided by various wireless technologies may be similar,
the engineering requirements of each system are different. As new wireless
technologies were introduced, the Company developed engineering solutions for
the different forms of wireless transmissions, and modified its field
measurement and analysis equipment and software products to function with
differing wireless technologies.
 
                                       38

  ENGINEERING SERVICES
 
     LCC provides a variety of RF engineering services over three phases of the
life cycle of a wireless telecommunications system, and intends to provide such
services over the fourth phase as follows:
 
     Phase 1 Services. LCC engineers help prepare applications for network
system operators seeking licenses in formal government license grant processes.
LCC also has assisted foreign governments in preparing Requests for Proposals
("RFPs") and analyzing responses thereto. Phase 1 services include the
following:
 
     - preparation of the technical response to a government tender
 
        - preliminary design
 
        - coverage parameters
 
        - propagation maps
 
        - technical requirements
 
     - advice on strategic issues relating to license tender responses
 
     - preparation of RFPs and analysis of responses
 
        - refinement of system objectives and translation into technical
           requirements
 
        - evaluation of responses on technical, cost and regulatory compliance
           grounds
 
The Company has assisted in preparing winning applications in several
(approximately eight) license tender processes worldwide, including the second
nationwide cellular license in Germany and the first cellular license in Bombay,
India. LCC's involvement in successful tenders has generally led to follow-on
contracts with winning applicants as they implement new systems.
 
     Phase 2 Services. Services in Phase 2, which constitute the largest number
of billed engineering hours for the Company, include some or all of the
following:
 
     - analysis of customer expectations for network coverage, capacity and
       other requirements
 
     - development of necessary databases for network design, including
       digitized maps of terrain and buildings
 
     - use of software tools to prepare network design, including analysis of
       interference and other technical factors affecting coverage, capacity and
       performance
 
     - identification and rank of desirable cell sites
 
     - preparation of regulatory filings (FCC, Federal Aviation Administration
       and others) required for system deployment
 
     - assistance with systems deployment
 
     - measurement of network performance
 
     - optimization of system
 
     Phase 3 Services. LCC's services are used by existing system operators to
plan system expansions to accommodate subscriber growth (the Company estimates
that operators of wireless networks operating at capacity require a new cell
site for approximately each additional 1,500 subscribers), incorporate
improvements in technology, improve system performance and achieve efficient use
of available radio spectrum. LCC also assists in capacity expansion planning and
technology changeovers, such as conversion from analog to digital technology. In
Phase 3 the Company provides some or all of the following:
 
     - identification of additional cell sites
 
     - integration of new cell sites with existing cell sites
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   42
 
     - measurement of network performance
 
     - optimization of system
 
     - technology migration analysis and implementation
 
     Phase 4 Services. Although to date the Company has not offered any services
or products for Phase 4, the Company anticipates that, as wireless systems
mature and as multiple service providers offer competing services in the same
service area, network operators will require additional engineering services
focusing on the achievement of cost savings and quality enhancements within the
existing coverage area. These services may include the following:
 
     - system analysis and network management, including redistribution or
        elimination of cell sites
 
     - cost management
 
     - measurement of network performance
 
     - technology and network upgrades
 
The Company is currently working with several existing customers to further
define the types of services that such customers will require during Phase 4,
although there can be no assurance that the Company will provide any such
services.
 
     The Company performs engineering services using approximately 370 RF
engineers (as of June 30, 1996). Most of such engineers are based in Arlington,
Virginia, but spend significant periods (approximately one to nine months per
year) at customer sites. LCC is one of the world's largest independent providers
of RF engineering and wireless network design services. The Company believes
that its large number of RF engineers enables it to respond quickly to customers
who may require the Company to staff a major project on a timely basis. In
addition, the Company believes that the wide-ranging experience of its RF
engineers, including exposure to and participation in the standards-setting
process for new digital technologies, helps the Company understand the changing
marketplace for wireless communications and for engineering services and
products to support the wireless industry. Since a large number of its RF
engineers work on customer sites, the Company is able to develop an
understanding of many of the issues of importance to its customers and uses this
information in planning. The Company also believes that the various
nationalities of its RF engineers provides LCC with an understanding of
different practices in business and wireless telephony in many countries around
the world that will assist the Company in continuing to pursue international
opportunities. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on Professional Staff."
 
     LCC provides engineering services on a contract basis, usually in a
customized plan for each client. The Company generally charges for engineering
services on a time and materials basis, although Phase 1 services or other
projects of short duration may involve a fixed price or success fee. The
Company's revenues also include reimbursement for expenses, including the living
expenses of engineers on customer sites (approximately 15% of revenues from
engineering services for 1995). Revenues from engineering services represents
the largest portion of LCC's revenues, representing approximately 56.3% of
revenues for 1995.
 
  SOFTWARE TOOLS
 
     LCC's software tools are used by LCC's engineers and by customers to design
wireless networks, optimize the performance of an existing network, adapt
networks to demand growth and environmental changes and migrate networks to new
technologies. Software revenue represented approximately 18.5% of revenues for
1995. Approximately one-third of LCC's revenues from software tools is generated
by LCC's use of the tools (which are typically charged to customers separately
from engineering services) in conjunction with engineering service projects,
particularly large build-outs or enhancements during Phase 2 or Phase 3. As
these software tools are used by LCC's engineers, a database for the customer
network is generated based upon the actual design. The software and database are
used by the customer pursuant to a license following implementation of the
network, become the foundation of the customer's design environment and record
of network design, and are critical to subsequent expansion or enhancement of
the system. The other
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   43
 
approximately two-thirds of LCC's software revenues is generated by licensing of
the software to customers, which use the tools in network design and generate
their own design specific databases.
 
     The Company's software offerings include:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                           <C>

CellManager(TM).............  An information management and automated work-flow
                              processing tool designed for wireless system
                              deployment, including separate modules for (i) RF
                              planning, site positioning and site acquisition, (ii)
                              construction preparation, (iii) management of
                              construction and equipment delivery timetables, (iv)
                              management of network integration and acceptance
                              testing, and (v) management of purchasing and human
                              resources. (The Company did not develop
                              CellManager(TM), but has obtained exclusive perpetual
                              distribution rights and software development and
                              enhancement rights for CellManager in North, Central
                              and South America, and non-exclusive distribution
                              rights in the remainder of the world.)
</TABLE>
 
     Revenues from ANET(TM) and CellCAD(R) represented approximately 90% of
software revenues for 1995.
 
     Another component of the Company's software offerings is its database
services. Databases are maintained for virtually all of the U.S. and many other
parts of the world and include data useful in designing and implementing
wireless networks, including data regarding terrain, building heights, land-use,
highways and secondary roads, traffic volume, political boundaries, demographics
and other parameters. Customers use a combination of these data sources in
designing their wireless networks. The Company believes that as the need for
more efficient system design becomes more important in the wireless industry,
databases with precise information will become more important.
 
     The Company provides its software tools to customers under license
agreements that call for license fees on a per user basis or, under certain
limited circumstances, on a per cell site basis. As of December 31, 1995, the
Company had software license agreements in effect with over 70 customers.
Typically, customers license the software for between one to five years, with
the right to annual renewals thereafter. In some cases, the Company will grant a
perpetual license to software for a fixed fee payable at the commencement of the
licenses. The number of work stations licensed by LCC's current customers range
up to 150, with an average of 14. LCC generally warrants that the software will
perform substantially in the manner specified in its documentation. Many
customers purchase maintenance support following expiration of the warranty
period as well as contract for installation and training services.

  FIELD MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS PRODUCTS
 
     LCC's field measurement and analysis products are used by both by LCC's
engineers and by customers in connection with system design and build out and
the maintenance and improvement of operational systems. Revenues from sales and
rentals of field measurement and analysis products represented approximately
20.2% of revenues for 1995. LCC's revenues from field measurement and analysis
products are generated from sales or monthly rentals to customers and associated
maintenance and upgrade fees.
 
     The Company's field measurement and analysis products lines are as follows:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                           <C>
EXP-2001(R).................  Modular vehicle mounted measurement system used to
                              measure RF system parameters for field diagnostics,
                              troubleshooting and RF analysis. Linked to Global
                              Positioning System receivers, permitting identification
                              of changes in system performance based on time and
                              location. Information captured into laptop computer for
                              subsequent analysis.
RSAT-2000(R)................  Performs the same functions as EXP-2001(R), but also
                              provides real-time data for on-site troubleshooting.
MSAT-2000(TM)...............  Performs similar functions as the EXP-2001(R) and
                              RSAT-2000(R) but is lightweight and portable for use
                              inside buildings.
PENCAT(TM)..................  Five pound pen-based collection and analysis tool used
                              with the MSAT-2000(TM) for real-time display and
                              post-processing analysis.
TX-1500(TM).................  Continuous wave test transmitter used to simulate cell
                              sites from which test transmissions are emitted,
                              allowing validation of predicted coverage.
LL-2000(R)..................  Analysis tool used to measure the quality of the
                              "uplink" from the wireless network to the Public
                              Switched Telephone Network.
</TABLE>
 
     Each of the EXP-2001(R), RSAT-2000(R) and MSAT-2000(TM) are designed for
use in wireless systems employing any of the major access technologies
(cellular, PCS, ESMR, etc.) and may be utilized by network operators to measure
the performance of other wireless systems. These three products represented
approximately 83% of field measurement and analysis products revenues for 1995.
To support the RSAT-2000(R), EXP-2001(R) and LL-2000(R) products, LCC offers a
DOS-based software package called Cellular Measurement Analyst and a
corresponding UNIX-based product called CellQUEST, which provide comprehensive
data analysis functions for coverage, interference, calls-in-progress and call
quality. These programs organize, edit and analyze RF and navigation data for
both digital and analog measurements. They provide detailed reports,
multi-colored graphs and high resolution on-screen graphic displays which can be
generated on a laptop computer for immediate field analysis.
 
     The Company believes that in the future, customers will expect field
measurement and analysis products from one company to be compatible with
software design products from other companies, so that measurements taken from
field measurement and analysis products can be analyzed using the software. LCC
is designing a series of products consistent with this objective. Currently,
wireless operators must separately analyze the coverage of their competitors'
systems. The Company intends to develop Phase 4 products that can simultaneously
analyze system quality of several different competing technologies. LCC intends
to offer new products that will allow data from several different systems in one
geographic area to be collected and analyzed simultaneously.
 
     The Company provides its field measurement and analysis products to
customers primarily through sales and to a lesser extent through long-term
leases and monthly rentals. LCC generally warrants that the field measurement
and analysis products will perform substantially in the manner specified in
their documentation for a period of 12 months following delivery thereof. The
Company offers various extended maintenance and support programs to customers.

  PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES
 
     Program management involves the procurement and management, on a turnkey
basis, of a range of services and products relating to deployment or expansion
of wireless networks, including systems integration, site acquisition, site
engineering, procurement management, construction management, installation and
commissioning, and customer training services. These management services are
often packaged with the Company's traditional RF and network engineering
services, software tools and field measurement and analysis equipment. To
provide program management, LCC has affiliated with commercial real estate firms
(for site acquisition), architectural engineering firms and contracting and
construction firms. The Company believes that an increasing number of wireless
system operators are attracted to this approach, and that program management
will increase revenues from RF engineering services in addition to providing
revenues from new services. Fees from program management services, which were
commenced in 1995, represented approximately 5% of revenues for 1995.
 
     LCC offers its customers a "one stop shopping" approach to Phase 1 system
build-out and Phase 2 network expansions by packaging services together in a
customized plan for each client. LCC provides these services on a contract
basis, in most cases on a time and materials basis but occasionally on an
overall cost per cell site.
 
     In connection with its program management services, the Company uses and
licenses a software tool called CellManager(TM), which can help network system
operators manage their deployment and construction activities cost effectively,
as discussed in more detail in "Software Tools" above.

  BACKLOG
 
     The Company has entered into long-term contracts with customers for the
provision of the Company's services and products. As of March 31, 1996, the
Company had a total backlog of $180.5 million, consisting of $66.4 million
relating to engineering services, $26.0 million relating to software licenses,
$3.6 million for field measurement and analysis products and $84.5 million
relating to program management services. The Company includes in its backlog
only committed fees or purchase prices specified in contracts which have been
executed by the Company to the extent that the Company contemplates recognition
of the related revenue. The Company believes that its substantial backlog is
relatively unique in the industry, and is attributable principally to contracts
which were entered into in July 1995 and in the first half of 1996. (The Company
did not track its backlog prior to 1996, since prior to receipt of such
contracts the large majority of backlog consisted of annual software license
fees. The Company believes that its backlog as of March 31, 1995 in areas other
than software licenses was substantially less than that for March 31, 1996.)
 
     The principal portion of the Company's present backlog arise from contracts
with Nextel Communications, NextWave Telcom and DCR. These contracts represent
approximately $146.6 million (or 81.1%) of the overall backlog. In addition,
they represented approximately $59.1 million (or 89.0%), $6.5 million (or
25.7%), and $80.0 million (or 94.7%), respectively, of the portions of the total
backlog relating to engineering services, software licenses and program
management services. NextWave Telcom and DCR have flexibility within five-year
periods regarding the timing of ordering and mix of services and products to be
purchased from the Company. The orders under such contracts are also subject to
uncertainties relating to PCS network deployment generally and to matters that
may affect the businesses and financial resources of such customers. Since the
Company's backlog is subject to significant timing uncertainties, the Company
cannot accurately predict the portion of the backlog that will be filled within
the current year, but expects that it will not fill at least $138.4 million of
its overall backlog in 1996. See "Risk Factors -- Changes Adversely Impacting
Demand for the Company's Products and Services -- Delays in Deployment of PCS
Networks," "Risk Factors -- Risks Associated with Strategic Relationships and
Strategic Financing" and Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. There
can be no assurance that the contracts included in the backlog will actually
generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated
within any particular period. See "Risk Factors -- Significant Fluctuations in
Quarterly Results; Uncertainties Relating to Backlog."
 
SALES AND MARKETING
 
     The Company markets its services and products to operators of wireless
telecommunications networks in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and
Latin America through its 23 member direct sales force based at its headquarters
in Arlington, Virginia. The members of the sales force are compensated based on
factors such as revenues generated compared to revenues forecasted, receivables
collected and the blend of products and services sold. The Company also utilizes
independent distributors and sales agents to supplement its direct sales force
outside the U.S. where business practices or customs make it most effective to
proceed through local companies. The Company utilizes the offices of its German
subsidiary to supplement its European sales efforts and intends to establish
regional sales offices in Brazil and Korea.
 
     The Company's RF engineers and other technical professional staff support
the efforts of the sales force, particularly in connection with the marketing of
engineering services and software products. Customers generally have engineers
involved in their procurement decisions, and the Company's engineers work
closely with the customer's engineers to help them understand the Company's
services and products and their
 
                                       44
<PAGE>   47
 
advantages compared to those of the competition. Additional business from
existing customers is pursued through the joint efforts of both the sales force
member primarily responsible for sale (who monitors the customer's satisfaction
as work progresses and makes periodic contact with the customer following
completion of work) and of the engineers and other technical staff who have
developed a relationship and worked closely with the customer's engineers, and
understand the customers' needs. This combination gives the Company an advantage
in pursuing the follow-on business.
 
     The Company generates sales leads for new customers through referrals from
existing customers (including referrals to international wireless operators with
which such customers have entered into partnership arrangements) and other
industry suppliers, its reputation in the industry, contacts with bidders for
new wireless licenses and others in the industry and other sources, which
include advertising, use of explanatory literature and publications and
participation in conferences and trade shows. The Company utilizes various
strategies to attract business from new customers, particularly various
arrangements in which Phase 1 services are provided for a reduced fee or with a
success-based contingent arrangement, coupled with a commitment from, or
understanding with, the customer to retain the Company in connection with Phase
2 services and products should the customer be awarded the applicable licenses.
Recently the Company has made two significant strategic investments in customers
in exchange for large contracts, and expects to continue this strategy in the
future. See "Risk Factors -- Risks Associated with Strategic Relationships,
Vendor Financing, and Acquisitions" and Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
     In addition to obtaining business directly from wireless network operators,
the Company has also established working relationships with two major
telecommunications equipment vendors, pursuant to which the Company provides RF
engineering services and related products, on a subcontract basis. The Company
is seeking to establish additional relationships with telecommunications
equipment vendors.
 
     Purchases of the Company's services or products by customers often entails
an extended decision-making process for the customer because of the substantial
costs and strategic implications associated with selecting the Company's
services and products. Senior management of the customer is often involved in
this process, given the importance of the decision as well as the risks faced by
the customer if the Company's services and products do not meet the customer's
particular needs. Therefore, large procurements of LCC's services and products
involve lengthy selling cycles, often as long as nine months. See "Risk
Factors -- Dependence on Significant Customers and Large Contracts" and
"-- Lengthy Sales Cycle."
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     The Company intends to continue developing new services and products and
enhance existing ones to maintain its position as a leader in RF engineering and
wireless network design. The Company is presently developing a number of new
products, including software tools and upgrades of field measurement and
analysis products. The Company's research and development efforts are focused on
making its existing products easier to use, adding functionality, making the
products compatible with different technologies and enabling the products to
interface with other products offered by the Company or other parties. The
Company is in the process of establishing a team of RF engineers, other
technical personnel, management consultants and other specialists who have been
asked to develop services and products specifically for use in connection with
Phase 4. The Company believes that its experience in providing a range of
engineering and wireless network services gives it an advantage in developing
products for use by engineers providing wireless network design services. See
"Risk Factors -- Rapid Technological Changes."
 
MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCT ASSEMBLY
 
     The Company assembles field measurement and analysis products by obtaining
standard parts and components obtained from a variety of computer and electronic
vendors and specially configuring these components to produce the field
measurement and analysis products. It also engages third party contractors to
assemble certain of these products based on the Company's design specifications.
The proprietary aspects of the Company's systems are primarily in the product
design, the software provided with the equipment and the specific applications
development designed for the customer. Equipment assembly, testing and quality
control
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   48
 
are performed by the Company at its Arlington, Virginia facility. The Company
currently has six employees conducting manufacturing and product assembly and
ten employees involved in supporting activities, including quality control,
inventory control, shipping and receiving and purchasing. Certain components
used in the Company's products are presently available from limited sources. To
date, the Company generally has been able to obtain supplies of these components
in a timely manner from these sources. The Company began the development and
assembly of its own field measurement and analysis products in early 1992 and
took over performance of the bulk of its development and assembly in 1994. The
Company experienced a stagnant demand for its field measurement and analysis
products during 1994 (reflected in revenues from field measurement and analysis
products for 1995) when it devoted its resources to enhancing its own field
measurement and analysis product development capabilities rather than developing
new products.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The current market for wireless network design services, related software
tools and field measurement and analysis equipment and program management
services is highly competitive. Many companies offer such services and products,
and the Company believes that the number of other independent firms providing a
combination of these services and products to wireless network operators
throughout the world is increasing.
 
  ENGINEERING SERVICES
 
     LCC's competition in the provision of RF engineering services consists of
(i) companies such as Mobile Systems International, Inc., Moffett, Larson &
Johnson P.C. and Comsearch, Inc., which provide a full range of RF engineering
services (as well as related software), (ii) companies that provide only a
portion of the engineering services, which generally act as a supplement to a
wireless operator's in-house engineering staff, (iii) telecommunications
equipment vendors, which provide RF engineering services through subcontractors
as part of larger turnkey projects, and (iv) the internal staffs of wireless
network operators. The Company believes that it is able to compete effectively
against its competitors based upon its leadership position, pricing, reputation,
experience, ability to provide its customers "one-stop-shopping," ability to
deploy quickly a large number of RF engineers to a project, its databases for
many geographic areas, its technological tools, and its relationships with major
wireless operators. In particular, the Company believes that its existing
customer base gives it a significant advantage in obtaining additional business
for its existing and new products and services.
 
  SOFTWARE TOOLS
 
     LCC's competition for the provision of software tools consists of (i) the
companies that provide the full range of RF engineering services along with
related software, particularly Mobile Systems International, Inc. and Comsearch,
Inc., which compete vigorously with the Company in this area, (ii) a limited
number of companies that have developed software tools but generally do not
provide engineering services and (iii) the internal staffs of wireless network
operators. The Company believes that its experience in providing a range of
engineering and network services gives it an advantage in developing software
tools for use by engineers providing network design services, particularly
because of the experience it receives as a result of the use of the products by
its own engineers. The Company believes that competition depends on such factors
as functionality, price product performance and reputation. The most successful
of the Company's competitors in this area have been European companies, and LCC
has been enhancing the functionality of its software tools in the GSM area to
compete more effectively for European customers. In pursuing international
business the Company has been flexible with the terms of its software licenses
in markets where standard license terms differ from those used in the U.S.
 
  FIELD MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT
 
     The Company's competition for the provision of field measurement and
analysis products consist of (i) full service companies and equipment vendors,
particularly those specializing in field measurement and analysis products,
principally Safeco Corporation and Comarco, Inc. and (ii) small independent
entrepreneurial companies. As is the case with its software tools, the Company
believes that its experience in providing a range of engineering and network
services gives it an advantage in developing field measurement
 
                                       46
<PAGE>   49
 
and analysis tools for use by engineers providing network design services,
particularly because of the feedback it receives as a result of the use of the
products by its own engineers. The Company believes that competition depends on
such factors as functionality, price product performance, reputation and
compatibility with software tools. LCC is designing a series of products to make
LCC's field measurement and analysis tools compatible with software products
from other companies.
 
  PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES
 
     Competition for the provision of program management services is highly
fragmented consisting of (i) equipment vendors that provide program management
services as part of larger turnkey projects, (ii) companies with experience in
project management in other industries, (iii) the internal staffs of wireless
network operators and (iv) small firms that focus on a limited number of the
entire range of activities involved in wireless network deployment and
expansion. The Company believes that competition depends on such factors as
reputation, the ability to perform on schedule and within the customer's budget
and quality expectations, and that its ability to have personnel specifically to
address the requirements of wireless network operations will enable it to
compete effectively in this area.
 
     There can be no assurance that competitive factors will not have an adverse
effect on the Company's business. See "Risk Factors -- Risks from Competition."
 
SOFTWARE PROTECTION AND TECHNOLOGY LICENSES
 
     The Company regards its software as proprietary and has implemented
protective measures both of a legal and a practical nature to ensure that the
software retains that status. The Company derives protection for its software by
licensing only the object code to customers and keeping the source code
confidential. Like many other companies that license software, the Company does
not have patent protection for its software. It therefore relies upon the
copyright laws to protect against unauthorized copying of the object code of its
software, and upon copyright and trade secret laws for the protection of the
source code of its software. Despite this protection, competitors could copy
certain aspects of the Company's software tools or field measurement and
analysis products, or obtain information which the Company regards as trade
secrets. In addition, the Company enters into confidentiality agreements with
its employees, distributors, and customers, and limits access to and
distribution of its software, documentation, and other proprietary information.
There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect its
proprietary rights will be adequate to deter misappropriation of its technology.
Further, there can be no assurance that any patent issued to the Company or the
copyrights registered by the Company can be successfully defended. In any event,
the Company believes that factors such as technological innovation and expertise
and market responsiveness are more important than the legal protections
described above.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
   
     As of June 30, 1996, LCC employed 674 full-time employees. The Company
believes that relations with its employees are good. None of its employees is
part of any collective bargaining unit. The Company believes that its future
growth and success will depend upon its ability to attract and retain skilled
and motivated personnel. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on Key Personnel;
Management of Growth."
    
 
FACILITIES
 
     The Company leases approximately 144,000 square feet of office space in
Arlington, Virginia. The Company recently exercised an early termination option
with respect to approximately 55,000 square feet of such office space and
intends to exercise similar options with respect to an additional 65,000 square
feet of space. In connection with such termination, the Company has incurred and
will incur one-time termination costs totalling $1.4 million. The Company
recently entered into a lease with an annual rent beginning at approximately
$2,951,000 for approximately 155,339 square feet of office space in McLean,
Virginia for occupancy during the first quarter of 1997. The term of this lease
is ten years, with two five-year renewal options. The Company also entered into
a lease with an annual rent beginning at approximately $153,700 for
 
                                       47
<PAGE>   50
 
approximately 10,245 square feet of office space in McLean, Virginia for
occupancy during 1997. The term of this lease is five years with three five-year
renewal options. The Company believes that its new facilities will be adequate
for its needs for the foreseeable future.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is party to various legal proceeding and claims incidental to
its business. The Company does not believe that these matters will have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

granted to it to administer such stock option and ERISA plans.
 
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
   
     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law")
empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase
insurance with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or status as
directors and officers provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) arising under Section 174 of the Delaware Law, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Delaware Law
provides further that the indemnification permitted thereunder shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the directors and officers may be
entitled under the corporation's bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or
otherwise. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal
liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of
the Delaware Law and provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Corporation shall fully indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding.
    
 
   
     The Company intends to enter into separate indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and executive officers pursuant to which the Company shall
agree, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions: (i) to
indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law against any liabilities
and
    
 
                                       50
<PAGE>   53
 
   
expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed action or other proceeding arising from the
fact that they are each in an Indemnifiable Capacity or because of anything done
or not done by each of them in such Indemnifiable Capacity, and (ii) to advance
funds to cover any such expenses no later than thirty days after demand. An
Indemnifiable Capacity is defined as the fact that the person is or was a
director or executive officer of the Company, or, while a director or executive
officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or
similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole
proprietorship, trust, nonprofit entity, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise.
    
 
     The effect of the foregoing is to require the Company to indemnify the
officers and directors of the Company for any claim arising against such persons
in their official capacities if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
     At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, employee or agent as to which indemnification will be
required or permitted under the Certificate of Incorporation. The Company is not
aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for
such indemnification.
 
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
  SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
 
     The following table sets forth the compensation awarded to, earned by, or

four most highly compensated executive officers whose salary and bonus exceeded
$100,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 (collectively, the
"Named Officers"):

(1) Dr. Rajendra Singh was the Chairperson of the Board of Directors and Chief
     Executive Officer of the Company until January 3, 1995 and he currently
     holds the position of Chairperson of the Board of Directors. Mr. Piyush
     Sodha was the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company during
     most of 1995.

(2) Dr. Singh received no compensation from the Company for services rendered to
     the Company during the three days of fiscal year 1995 during which he was
     employed by the Company as its Chief Executive Officer.
 
(3) Effective upon the Offering, Ms. Singh will no longer be an officer of the
     Company and will no longer receive compensation as an employee of the
     Company.
 
(4) Includes annual distributions in 1995 under the LLC Membership Plan of
     approximately $140,000 to Mr. Sodha, $1,448,000 to Mr. Rose (of which
     $1,100,000 was deferred in 1995 from a previous year's distribution),
     $5,000 to Mr. Bonin and $39,000 to Mr. Sampson. Upon conversion of the LLC
     Membership Plan in connection with the Offering, such distributions will no
     longer be made. See "Certain Transactions -- Conversion of Interests Under

     $500 per individual) and contributions to the Company's 401(k) Plan.
 
(6) All amounts are rounded to the nearest $1,000. The amount of perquisites and
     other personal benefits, securities or other property has been omitted
     because the applicable amount of such compensation is less than $50,000 or
     10% of the total annual salary and bonus reported for each Named Officer.
 
(7) As of August 15, 1996, Mr. Sampson is no longer an employee of the Company.
 
  OPTION GRANTS
 
     No options were granted to the Named Officers during the period presented.
Options will be granted to certain Named Officers and other executive officers
as described below under "Management -- Stock Plans."
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
     The Company entered into an offer letter with Mr. Piyush Sodha when he was
hired on October 1, 1990. The letter provides for continued employment until
terminated at will by either party with ninety days' prior written notice. Mr.
Sodha has indicated an intention to terminate this employment letter (but not
his employment). None of the Company's executive officers has an employment
agreement with the Company other than agreements terminable at will.
 
AGREEMENT WITH DIRECTOR
 
     The Company has entered into an agreement with one of its directors, Arno
Penzias, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to compensate Mr. Penzias for
his services as a director as follows: (i) an annual fee of $20,000, (ii) a fee
of $1,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors he attends, (iii) an annual
fee of $2,000 for each Committee on which he serves (he presently serves on the
Audit Committee and the Compensation and Stock Option Committee) and (iv) an
annual fee of $3,000 for any committee which he chairs (at present he does not
serve as chairman of any committees). In addition, the Company has agreed to
grant Mr. Penzias options under the Directors Plan. Such options are subject to
vesting over a three year period and to the other terms and conditions of the
Directors Plan.
 
STOCK PLANS
 
  1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     The Employee Plan provides for the grant of options that are intended to
qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code, to employees
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as well as the grant of
non-qualifying options to employees and any other individuals whose
participation in the Employee Plan is determined to be in the best interests of
the Company. The Employee Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,224,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock pursuant to options granted under the Employee Plan
(subject to anti-dilution adjustments in the event of a stock split,
recapitalization or similar transaction). The Compensation and Stock Option
Committee of the Board of Directors will administer the Employee Plan and will
grant options to purchase Class A Common Stock.
 
                                       52
<PAGE>   55
 
     The option exercise price for incentive stock options granted under the
Employee Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Class A
Common Stock on the date of grant of the option (or 110% in the case of an
incentive stock option granted to an optionee beneficially owning more than 10%
of the outstanding Class A Common Stock). The option exercise price for
non-incentive stock options granted under the Employee Plan may not be less than
par value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. The
maximum option term is 10 years (or five years in the case of an incentive stock
option granted to an optionee beneficially owning more than 10% of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock). Options may be exercised at any time after
grant, except as otherwise provided in the particular option agreement. There is
also a $100,000 limit on the value of Class A Common Stock (determined at the
time of grant) covered by incentive stock options that first become exercisable
by an optionee in any year. The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock
subject to options that can be awarded under the Employee Plan to any person is
1,000,000 shares.
 
     Payment for shares purchased under the Employee Plan may be made either in
cash or, if permitted by the particular option agreement, by exchanging shares
of Class A Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the option exercise
price and cash for any difference. Options may, if permitted by the particular
option agreement, be exercised by directing that certificates for the shares
purchased be delivered to a licensed broker as agent for the optionee, provided
that the broker tenders to the Company cash or cash equivalents equal to the
option exercise price plus the amount of any taxes that the Company may be
required to withhold in connection with the exercise of the option.
 
     Options granted under the Employee Plan are not transferable (other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution) and may be exercised only by the
optionee during his or her lifetime. If any optionee's employment with the
Company terminates by reason of death or permanent and total disability or the
optionee dies within 30 days after a termination other than for cause (or within
180 days after a termination of employment due to disability), the optionee's
options, whether or not then exercisable, may be exercised within 180 days after
such death or disability unless otherwise provided in the option agreement (but
not later than the date the option would otherwise expire). If the optionee's
employment terminates for any reason other than cause, death or disability,
options held by such optionee will terminate 30 days after such termination
unless otherwise provided in the option agreement or approved by the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee (but not later than the date the option
would otherwise expire). If the optionee's employment terminates for cause,
options held by such optionee will terminate on such termination unless
otherwise provided in the option agreement or approved by the Compensation and
Stock Option Committee (but not later than the date the option would otherwise
expire). If the optionee is not an employee, the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee will provide in the option agreement when the option will terminate.
 
     The Board of Directors may amend the Employee Plan with respect to shares
of Class A Common Stock as to which options have not been granted. However, the
Company's stockholders must approve any amendment that would (i) materially
change the requirements as to eligibility to receive options; (ii) materially
increase the benefits accruing to participants who are considered "insiders" for
purposes of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934; or (iii)
increase the number of shares that may be sold pursuant to options granted under
the Employee Plan (except for adjustments upon changes in capitalization).
 
     It is anticipated that, in connection with the Offering, options to
purchase approximately 590,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at the Offering
price will be granted to approximately 265 employees. Options granted will vest
with respect to one-third of the shares subject to the options on each of the
first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The options will expire no later
than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.
 
   
     It is also anticipated that, in connection with the Offering, options to
purchase approximately up to an aggregate of 2,160,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock will be issued to certain employees of the Company and three individuals
employed by Telcom Ventures. These options will replace options granted by the
Limited Liability Company under the LLC Option Plan adopted in March 1996 and
phantom
    
 
                                       53
<PAGE>   56
 
   
membership awards under the LLC Membership Plan adopted in 1994. The exercise
price for options replacing options under the LLC Option Plan is intended to be
equivalent to the exercise price of the options granted under the LLC Option
Plan (approximately $9.70 per share, or approximately 69% of the Offering price)
and is intended to be for equivalent equity percentage ownership. The number of
options and option exercise prices for options replacing phantom membership
interests previously granted under the LLC Membership Plan will be 1,343,150 and
25% of the initial offering price of the Class A Common Stock ($3.50 per share,
assuming a public offering price of $14 per share) which was calculated under a
conversion formula intended to maintain comparable value with phantom membership
awards under the LLC Membership Plan. See "Certain Transactions -- Conversion of
Interests under LLC Option Plan and LLC Membership Plan into Stock Options."
    
 
  1996 DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
   
     The Company's 1996 Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Directors Plan")
provides for the "formula" grant of options that are not intended to qualify as
"incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code to Dr. Rajendra Singh,
Neera Singh and directors of the Company who are not officers or employees of
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (each an "Eligible Director"). The
Directors Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 60,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock and 250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (for directors eligible to hold
Class B Common Stock, such as Dr. Rajendra Singh and Neera Singh), pursuant to
options granted under the Directors Plan (subject to anti-dilution adjustments
in the event of a stock split, recapitalization or similar transaction). The
option exercise price for options granted under the Directors Plan will be 100%
of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant of
the option. Under the Directors Plan, each Eligible Director who is not eligible
to hold shares of Class B Common Stock (such as Mark Ein and Arno Penzias) will
be granted an initial option to purchase 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
in connection with the Offering or on later commencement of service. Each
Eligible Director who is eligible to hold shares of Class B Common Stock and who
is a director as of the time of the Offering (Dr. Rajendra Singh and Neera
Singh) will be granted an initial option to purchase 35,000 shares of Class B
Common Stock in connection with the Offering, and an additional option to
purchase 22,500 shares of Class B Common Stock as of each of the next four
annual meetings of the stockholders of the Company if the Eligible Director
continues to be an Eligible Director. Options granted with respect to Class A
Common Stock will become immediately exercisable with respect to directors who
were directors of the Company prior to July 1, 1996 (Mark Ein) and will become
exercisable with respect to one-third of the shares of Class A Common Stock that
are subject to the options on each of the first three anniversaries of the date
of grant subject to acceleration of vesting on a change of control (as defined
in the Directors Plan) with respect to directors who become directors of the
Company after July 1, 1996 (Arno Penzias). Such options will expire no later
than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted with respect to
Class B Common Stock will become exercisable immediately following the date of
grant, and will expire no later than the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.
    
 
     Payment for shares purchased under the Directors Plan may be made either in
cash or by exchanging shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair market value
equal to the option exercise price and cash or certified check for any
difference. Options may be exercised by directing that certificates for the
shares purchased be delivered to a licensed broker as agent for the optionee,
provided that the broker tenders to the Company cash or cash equivalents equal
to the option exercise price plus the amount of any taxes that the Company may
be required to withhold in connection with the exercise of the option.
 
     Options granted under the Directors Plan are not transferable (other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution) and may be exercised only by
the optionee during his or her lifetime. If any optionee's service as a director
with the Company terminates by reason of death or permanent and total
disability, the optionee's options, whether or not then exercisable, may be
exercised within 180 days after such death or disability (but not later than the
date the option would otherwise expire). If the optionee's service as a director
 
                                       54
<PAGE>   57
 
terminates for any reason other than death or disability, options held by such
optionee will terminate 60 days after such termination (but not later than the
date the option would otherwise expire).
 
     The Board of Directors may amend the Directors Plan with respect to shares
of Common Stock as to which options have not been granted but no more than once
in a six month period other than to comport with changes in applicable Federal
laws. However, the Company's stockholders must approve any amendment that would
(i) change the requirements as to eligibility to receive options; (ii)
materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Directors
Plan; or (iii) materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may
be sold pursuant to options granted under the Directors Plan (except for
adjustments upon changes in capitalization).
 
  EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
 
   
     Under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 360,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock are available for purchase by eligible employees of the Company
(subject to anti-dilution adjustments in the event of a stock split,
recapitalization or similar transaction). The Employee Stock Purchase Plan
permits eligible employees to elect to have a portion of their pay deducted by
the Company to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. In the
event there is any increase or decrease in shares of Class A Common Stock
without receipt of consideration by the Company (for instance, by a
recapitalization or stock split), there may be a proportionate adjustment to the
number and kinds of shares that may be purchased under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. Generally, payroll deductions and other payments will be
accumulated during the period specified by the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee (the "Payroll Deduction Period").
    
 
     The Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by the Compensation
and Stock Option Committee. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee will
have the authority to interpret the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, to prescribe,
amend and rescind rules relating to it, and to make all other determinations
necessary or advisable in administering the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, all of
which determinations will be final and binding.
 
     Any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries may participate in
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, except the following, who are ineligible to
participate: (i) an employee who has been employed by the Company or a
participating affiliate for less than six months as of the beginning of a
Payroll Deduction Period; (ii) an employee whose customary employment is for
less than five months in any year; (iii) an employee whose customary employment
is 20 hours or less per week; and (iv) an employee who, after exercising his or
her rights to purchase stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, would own
stock (including stock that may be acquired under any outstanding options)
representing five percent or more of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company. An employee must be employed on the last day of
the Payroll Deduction Period in order to acquire stock under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan unless the employee has retired, died or become disabled.
 
     An eligible employee may become a participant in the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan by completing an election to participate in the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan authorizing the Company to have deductions made from pay on each
pay day following enrollment in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The deductions
will be credited to the employee's account under the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan. An employee may not during any Payroll Deduction Period change his or her
percentage of payroll deduction for that Payroll Deduction Period, nor may an
employee withdraw any contributed funds other than by terminating participation
in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as described below). A participating
employee who is not an executive officer subject to Section 16 under the
Exchange Act (a "Section 16 officer"), may terminate payroll deductions or
contributions for the remainder of a Payroll Deduction Period.
 
     Rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock will be deemed granted to
participating employees as of the first trading day of each Payroll Deduction
Period. The purchase price for each share (the "Purchase Price") will be
established by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, but will not be less
than 85% of the fair market value of the shares of Class A Common Stock on the
first or last trading day of such Payroll Deduction Period, whichever is lower.
 
                                       55
<PAGE>   58
 
     No employee may purchase shares of Class A Common Stock in any year under
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and all other "employee stock purchase plans"
of the Company and any subsidiary having an aggregate fair market value in
excess of $25,000, determined as of the first trading date of the Payroll
Deduction Period.
 
     On the last trading day of the Payroll Deduction Period, a participating
employee will be credited with the number of whole shares of Class A Common
Stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during such period.
Shares of Class A Common Stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
will be held in the custody of an agent (the "Agent"). The Agent may hold the
shares of Class A Common Stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
in stock certificates in nominee names and may commingle shares held in its
custody in a single account or stock certificate, without identification as to
individual employees. An employee may, however, instruct the Agent to have all
or part of such shares reissued in the employee's own name and have the stock
certificate delivered to the employee.
 
     In the event the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved
for issuance at the conclusion of the Payroll Deduction Period is insufficient
to cover the number of shares to be purchased by all participating employees
during the same Payroll Deduction Period, then each participating employee will
be (i) credited with a pro rata portion of the available shares, and (ii)
refunded all monies in excess of those required to purchase the shares credited
the employee.
 
     A participating employee will be refunded all monies in his or her account,
and his or her participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be
terminated, if: (i) the employee elects to terminate participation by delivering
a written notice to that effect to the Company; (ii) the employee ceases to be
employed by the Company or a participating subsidiary except on account of
death, disability, retirement; (iii) the Board of Directors elects to terminate
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan; or (iv) the employee ceases to be eligible to
participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, provided, however, that a
participating employee who is a Section 16 officer does not have the discretion
to voluntarily terminate participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
during a Payroll Deduction Period. If a participating employee terminates
employment on account of death, disability or retirement, the participating
employee will have the following alternatives: (i) refund of all monies in his
or her account, or (ii) purchase of shares of Class A Common Stock on the last
day of the Payroll Deduction Period with the amounts then accumulated in his or
her account (absent a timely election, the participating employee (or his or her
legal representative) will be deemed to have elected to receive a refund);
provided, however, that a participating employee who is a Section 16 officer
does not have the discretion to receive a refund.
 
     No participating employee (or his or her legal representative in the case
of death) may assign his or her rights to purchase shares of Class A Common
Stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, whether voluntarily, by operation
of law or otherwise.
 
     The Board of Directors may, at any time, amend the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan in any respect; provided, however, that without approval of the
stockholders of the Company no amendment shall be made (i) increasing the number
of shares that may be made available for purchase under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan, (ii) changing the eligibility requirements for participating in
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan or (iii) impairing the vested rights of
participating employees.
 
     The Board of Directors may terminate the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at
any time and for any reason or for no reason, provided that such termination
shall not impair any rights of participants that have vested at the time of
termination. In any event, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall without
further action of the Board of Directors, terminate at the earlier of (i) ten
years after the adoption of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan by the Board of
Directors and (ii) such time as all shares of Class A Common Stock that may be
made available for purchase under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan have been
issued.
 
  1994 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
 
     The Company has adopted the 1994 Incentive Compensation Plan (the
"Compensation Plan"). Under the Compensation Plan, the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee may, from time to time, in its sole
 
                                       56
<PAGE>   59
 
discretion, grant awards to those employees of the Company whose
responsibilities and decisions, in the opinion of the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee, affect the long-term sustained growth and profitability of the
Company. Each incentive award entitles the recipients thereof to receive a cash
payment on the date specified in the corresponding award agreement. To date, all
incentive awards granted are payable on the third anniversary of the grant
thereof. At the discretion of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee,
participating employees may borrow a portion of the total amount of their
incentive awards. The Compensation Plan has no termination date, although the
Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Compensation Plan
at any time, provided such termination does not adversely affect the rights of
participants with respect to awards previously granted.
 
  401(k) PLAN
 
     The Company maintains a retirement plan (the "401(k) Plan") intended to
qualify under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code (although it has not
requested a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS")
as to the tax-qualified status thereof). The 401(k) Plan is a defined
contribution plan that covers employees of the Company at least 21 years of age,
who have been employed by the Company for at least one year. Employees may
contribute up to 15% of their annual wages (subject to an annual limit
prescribed by the Code) as pretax, salary deferral contributions. The Company
may, in its discretion, match employee contributions up to a maximum of 3% of
annual wages. The Company's contributions to the 401(k) Plan for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996 were approximately
$419,000 and $225,000, respectively. As of June 30, 1996, 466 of the Company's
current employees were participants in the 401(k) Plan. In 1994, the Company
requested a compliance statement pursuant to the IRS voluntary compliance
resolution program with respect to the correction of an operational defect in
the 401(k) Plan resulting from the 401(k) Plan's recordkeeper's
nondiscrimination tests. The IRS is currently reviewing the request.
 
                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
     The following is a summary of certain transactions and relationships among
the Company and its associated entities, and among the directors, executive
officers and stockholders of the Company and its associated entities.
 
THE MERGER
 
     In connection with the Offering, LCC International will become the
corporate successor to the Limited Liability Company. Immediately prior to the
consummation of the Offering, the Limited Liability Company will be merged with
and into LCC International. LCC International will be the surviving company in
the Merger, and the separate existence of the Limited Liability Company will
cease. As a result of the Merger, LCC International will own all of the assets
and rights and be subject to all of the obligations and liabilities of the
Limited Liability Company, including under the Credit Facility and the
Exchangeable Notes. Because the Merger is intended to qualify as tax-free under
Section 351 of the Code, the tax basis of the assets held by LCC International
after the Merger will be the same as the tax basis of the assets held by the
Limited Liability Company immediately before the Merger, and LCC International
will add to its holding period for certain assets the period for which the
Limited Liability Company held such assets.
 
     In connection with the Merger, 11,250,751 shares of Class B Common Stock
will be issued to RF Investors, 85,233 shares of Class B Common Stock will be
issued to the Founder Corporation and 28,411 shares of Class A Common Stock will
be issued to TC Group. Immediately prior to the Merger, Telcom Ventures will
transfer its membership interest in the Limited Liability Company to RF
Investors in return for a membership interest in RF Investors of 99% (the
remaining membership interests of 0.75% and 0.25% will be held directly by the
Founder Corporation and TC Group, respectively). It is presently intended that
subsequent to the Offering the Founder Corporation and TC Group will contribute
their shares of Common Stock to RF Investors. As a result of the Merger, RF
Investors and the Founder Corporation will own Class B Common Stock which will
represent upon consummation of the Offering 94.8% of the combined voting power
of both classes of Common Stock. See "Risk Factors -- Control of the Company by
RF Investors" and "Description of Capital Stock."
 
                                       57
<PAGE>   60
 
     Pursuant to the Merger, LCC International will be required to indemnify
Telcom Ventures, RF Investors, the Founder Corporation, the Carlyle Investors
and TC Group against any liability for obligations and liabilities associated
with the Limited Liability Company's operations. LCC International will bear all
of the costs incurred by the Limited Liability Company and such entities,
including transfer taxes and related fees, in connection with the Merger.
 
CONVERSION OF INTERESTS UNDER LLC OPTION PLAN AND LLC MEMBERSHIP PLAN INTO STOCK
OPTIONS
 
     In March 1996, the Limited Liability Company adopted the LLC Option Plan.
Under the LLC Option Plan, options to purchase membership interests in the
Limited Liability Company were made available for grants to employees at an
exercise price based on the fair market value of the Limited Liability Company
at the time the options were granted, as determined by the Limited Liability
Company. In connection with the Offering, the options granted under the LLC
Option Plan (none of which have been exercised) will be replaced by stock
options granted under the Employee Plan which have an option exercise price
equivalent to the current exercise price of the options granted under the LLC
Option Plan (approximately $9.70 per share, or approximately 69% of the Offering
price). 930,000 shares have been reserved under the Employee Plan to replace
options granted under the LLC Option Plan. See "Management -- Stock Plans."
 
     In 1994, the Company adopted the LLC Membership Plan. Under the LLC
Membership Plan, the Company has issued awards entitling the holders thereof to
participate in distributable profits of the Limited Liability Company as
determined by its members' committee. In connection with the Offering, all
phantom membership awards will be converted into options under the Employee Plan
and each participant's right to participate in distributable profits will
automatically terminate. The number of options and the option exercise prices
for options replacing phantom membership interests previously granted under the
LLC Membership Plan will be calculated under a conversion formula, intended to
maintain comparable value, generally using 25% of the fair market value of the
shares of Class A Common Stock subject to the options at the time of conversion.
Approximately 1,343,150 shares have been reserved under the Employee Plan to
replace options granted under the LLC Membership Plan. See Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY
 
   
     The Company and Telcom Ventures Group will enter into the Intercompany
Agreement, effective upon the Offering. Such agreement has been negotiated in
connection with the Offering and does not necessarily represent an arms' length
transaction due to the control of the Company by the Telcom Ventures Group.
Under the Intercompany Agreement, Telcom Ventures, RF Investors, the Founder
Corporation and the Singh Family Group have agreed that, until the earlier of
(i) the date on which the Telcom Ventures Group no longer possesses voting
control of the Company or (ii) the occurrence of certain termination events
specified in the Formation Agreement among the Telcom Ventures Group, none of
them will, directly or indirectly, participate or engage, other than through the
Company, in any of the Company's traditional business activities, defined as (i)
the provision of cellular radio frequency engineering and network design
services to the wireless telecommunications industry, (ii) the provision of
program management services or deployment or construction related consulting
services to the wireless telecommunications industry and (iii) the manufacture,
sale, license, distribution or servicing of any radio network planning software
tools or drive test field measurement and analysis equipment which are used by
LCC in connection with LCC services described in the foregoing clauses (i) or
(ii). The foregoing prohibition does not apply to services provided to third
parties in which any member of the Telcom Ventures Group holds or is considering
the acquisition of an investment where the provision of services is incidental
to such member's investment or to the ownership by any member of the Telcom
Ventures Group of up to 5% of the outstanding securities of any entity as long
as no member of the Telcom Ventures Group participates in the management of such
entity. Under the Intercompany Agreement, each of the Carlyle Investors (but not
its affiliates) has also agreed not to invest in any entity whose primary
business is to compete with the Company in its traditional business activities
(excluding program management) until the earlier of (i) the date on which such
Carlyle Investor no longer owns directly or indirectly, an interest in the
Company or (ii) the occurrence of certain termination events specified in the
Formation Agreement among the Telcom Ventures Group.
    
 
     In consideration of the foregoing agreements of the Telcom Ventures Group,
the Company has agreed that, if any opportunity to invest in or acquire a third
party the value of which could reasonably be deemed to exceed $1 million (an
"Investment Opportunity") is presented to the Company that it wishes to refer to
a
 
                                       58
<PAGE>   61
 
third party, the Company must give written notice to Telcom Ventures of such
Investment Opportunity. Telcom Ventures has five business days following its
receipt of the notice to inform the Company of its desire to pursue the
Investment Opportunity. If Telcom Ventures does not wish to pursue the
Investment Opportunity, or fails to provide timely notice to the Company of its
interest, the Company may refer the Investment Opportunity to any third party.
 
ADVANCES TO AND FROM TELCOM VENTURES AND RELATED PARTIES
 
     The Limited Liability Company was capitalized in January 1994 with a
contribution of $16.7 million from Telcom Ventures in exchange for a 99%
interest in the Limited Liability Company. Telcom Ventures' capital contribution
consisted of $6.4 million in the form of assets, net of liabilities assumed,
formerly employed by the Founder Corporation and affiliates in the Company's
business, which were transferred to the Limited Liability Company at their
respective carrying values, and $10.3 million in cash received by Telcom
Ventures from the Carlyle Investors. The Founder Corporation and TC Group (on
behalf of the Carlyle Investors) received 0.75% and 0.25% interests in the
Limited Liability Company.
 
     Since January 1, 1995, the Company made loans totaling $15.1 million to
Telcom Ventures at a variable interest rate of prime plus 3.0%, escalating at
0.25% increments at various intervals over the term of the debt. Prior to the
Offering, the amount of such advances, along with accrued interest thereon, will
be dividended to Telcom Ventures and used to repay the loans.
 
   
     Immediately following the Offering, the Company will make a loan of $3.5
million to Telcom Ventures from proceeds of the Offering to assist Telcom
Ventures in paying certain taxes due in connection with the MCI Note Assumption.
Such loan will be repayable over five years, with equal annual principal
payments over the term of the loan. Interest will accrue at the rate of LIBOR
plus 1.75% and be payable annually. Such loan will be senior indebtedness of
Telcom Ventures. Upon the sale by Telcom Ventures or any of its affiliates
(defined as each entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with,
Telcom Ventures, each natural person that controls Telcom Ventures and each
member of Telcom Ventures as of the date of the loan) of shares of Common Stock
resulting in Telcom Ventures and such affiliates, in the aggregate, owning less
than 25% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Company may declare the loan to be
due and payable.
    
 
     During 1995, the Company converted outstanding receivables in the amount of
$1.4 million owed by Corporacion Mobilcom S.A. de C.V. (d/b/a Tricom), a company
in which Dr. Rajendra Singh and members of his family holds an 15.0% indirect
interest and of which the Carlyle Investors own through Telcom Ventures
approximately 4.5%, into promissory notes. The notes bear interest at
approximately 16.5% per annum, payable monthly. The principal amount and all
accrued interest was due in January 1996 and currently remain outstanding. The
Company expects payments to be made on these notes from capital contributions to
be made by the shareholders of this entity during 1996, including Dr. Singh and
such members of his family.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
     It is anticipated that, concurrently with the Offering, the Company, RF
Investors and MCI will enter into one or more registration rights agreements
which will relate to the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class
B Common Stock or in the MCI Conversion, respectively. RF Investors and MCI have
or will have certain "demand" rights to require the Company to register their
Common Stock for sale and may register shares on a "piggyback" basis in
connection with most registered public offerings of securities of the Company.
RF Investors and MCI will be entitled to registration rights that would, among
other things, permit each of them to submit three demand registration requests
to the Company (and one of the RF Investors' demands may be exercised by the
Carlyle Investors following a distribution of shares of Common Stock by RF
Investors to Carlyle). See "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain
Relationships Between the Founder Corporation and the Carlyle Investors
Affecting the Company." Generally, the Company is required to use "best efforts"
to file a registration statement with the Commission within 90 days of receiving
such a request. However, once a year, the Company may defer a registration
request from RF Investors or MCI for a period of up to 90 days if the Board of
Directors makes a good faith determination that it would be "seriously
detrimental" to the Company to file a registration statement within the time
period otherwise required. The Company will pay all expenses (other than
underwriters' discounts and commissions) in connection with such registrations.
 
                                       59
<PAGE>   62
 
     The Company intends to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act with respect to the 3,944,000 shares of Common Stock available upon exercise
of options under the Employee Plan, the Directors Plan and the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan.
 
   
CARLYLE OPTION DESIGNEE STOCK OPTIONS
    
 
   
     The Company has reserved 85,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to
anti-dilution adjustments in the event of a stock split, recapitalization or
similar transaction) for issuance pursuant to options to be granted to the
Carlyle Option Designees (the "Carlyle Option Designee Stock Options"). The
option exercise price for the Carlyle Option Designee Stock Options will be 100%
of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant of the
option. The applicable Carlyle Option Designees will be granted an initial
option to purchase 25,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the
Offering, and an additional option to purchase 15,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock on each of the next four anniversaries of the initial date of grant.
Options granted will vest immediately. The options will expire no later than the
fifth anniversary of the date of grant.
    
 
THE EXCHANGEABLE NOTES
 
     Since January 1, 1995, the Company has paid MCI approximately $1.4 million
in interest under the LCC Note. The Company presently intends to exercise its
option in August 1997 to cause the Exchangeable Notes to be exchanged for Class
A Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Merger the Company intends to assume
the Telcom Note. See "The MCI Notes, MCI Note Assumption and MCI Conversion" and
"The Merger."
 
FUTURE TRANSACTIONS WITH OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
 
     The Company has adopted a policy prior to the Offering pursuant to which it
will not permit future loans or other material transactions between the Company
and its officers, directors or principal stockholders, or affiliates of any of
them, for other than bona fide business purposes or on terms less favorable than
could reasonably be obtained from third parties, other than those involving the
performance or renewal of existing arrangements, unless approved by a majority
(or all, if there are two or fewer) of the independent directors of the Company
who have no interest in such transaction.
 
PROVISION OF SERVICES AND PRODUCTS TO TELCOM VENTURES AND PARTIES RELATED
THERETO
 
   
     The Company provides engineering services and software products to Telcom
Ventures and various other companies owned, in part, by Telcom Ventures or its
members. Revenues earned since January 1, 1995 for such services and products
were approximately $4.4 million through June 30, 1996. Trade accounts receivable
from these related parties were approximately $2.2 million at June 30, 1996.
    
 
     The Limited Liability Company shares office space and office equipment with
Telcom Ventures. The Limited Liability Company has allocated such costs between
the Limited Liability Company and Telcom Ventures on a usage basis as it has
deemed appropriate. Since January 1, 1995, the aggregate amount of such cost
allocated to Telcom Ventures was approximately $191,000 through June 30, 1996.
The amount of such costs owed to the Company is included as part of the loans
totaling $14.1 million made by the Company to Telcom Ventures as of June 30,
1996. Concurrently with the Offering, the Company and Telcom Ventures will enter
into an overhead and administrative services agreement. Pursuant to the overhead
and administrative services agreement, certain management personnel and other
employees of the Company will provide certain administrative services,
principally related to human resource management functions and, until the first
quarter of 1997, to administration of accounts payable and accounts receivable
systems and provisions of general office support services, to Telcom Ventures
and Telcom Ventures will sublease office space from the Company. Telcom Ventures
will be obligated to pay the Company a monthly fee for such administrative
services and office space based on a reasonable estimate of the Company's cost
of providing same. While this agreement is not the result of arm's length
negotiations, it is designed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing
such services (including costs of personnel), and the Company believes that the
terms of such agreements are reasonable.

     As of the date of this Prospectus, there are no agreements or other
arrangements or understandings known to the Company concerning the voting of the
Common Stock or otherwise concerning control of the Company other than those
described below. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain Relationships
Between the Founder Corporation and Carlyle Investors Affecting the Company."
There are no pre-emptive rights applicable to the Common Stock. See "Description
of Capital Stock."
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
     The following summary description of the capital stock of the Company is
based, in part, on the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 70 million
shares of Class A Common Stock, 20 million shares of Class B Common Stock, and
10 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.1 per share (the "Preferred
Stock").
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     The Company has two classes of authorized Common Stock, Class A Common
Stock, which is being offered hereby, and Class B Common Stock. The Class A
Common Stock has one vote per share. The Class B Common Stock, which may be
owned only by Telcom Ventures and certain of its affiliates or a successor
thereof, has ten votes per share.
 
     All outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
are, and all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to be
outstanding upon consummation of the Offering will be, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
 
                                       62
<PAGE>   65
 
     After the Offering and the Merger, RF Investors (together with the Founder
Corporation) will own all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, which
will represent 94.8% of the combined voting power of both classes of Common
Stock. As a result, RF Investors will have the ability to elect all of the
Company's directors and will continue to control the Company. See "Risk
Factors -- Control of the Company by RF Investors." The Class B Common Stock,
which has effective control of the Company, is not being offered by this
Prospectus. Except as otherwise required by law, shares of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock vote together on all matters, including the election of
directors.
 
   
     The Company may not issue any Class B Common Stock at any time after the
completion of the Offering except pursuant to any stock option plan adopted by
the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders and except with respect
to stock dividends declared on Class B Common Stock. Each outstanding share of
Class B Common Stock may, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, be
converted into one share of Class A Common Stock. Each share of outstanding
Class B Common Stock shall convert into one share of Class A Common Stock
immediately upon transfer to any holder other than the following (an "Eligible
Class B Stockholder"): (i) Telcom Ventures, one or more subsidiaries thereof or
any successor to Telcom Ventures or one or more subsidiaries thereof, (ii) the
Founder Corporation or any successor thereto, or (iii) any one or more of Dr.
Rajendra Singh, Neera Singh, other members of the immediate family of Dr.
Rajendra and Neera Singh or their lineal descendants, spouses of lineal
descendants or lineal descendants of spouses, or any trusts for the benefit of
any of the foregoing. If the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Eligible
Class B Stockholders in the aggregate constitute 10% or less of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, each share of Class B Common Stock shall immediately
convert into one share of Class A Common Stock. Each share of outstanding Class
B Common Stock which is held by any Eligible Class B Stockholder shall
immediately convert into one share of Class A Common Stock at such time as such
holder is no longer an Eligible Class B Stockholder.
    
 
     Holders of Common Stock will have no cumulative voting rights and no
preemptive, subscription, or sinking fund rights. Subject to preferences that
may be applicable to any then outstanding Preferred Stock, holders of Common
Stock will be entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by
the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. See "Dividend
Policy." In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets
remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any
then outstanding Preferred Stock.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to
issue, from time to time and without further stockholder action, one or more
series of Preferred Stock, and to fix the relative rights and preferences of the
shares, including voting powers, dividend rights, liquidation preferences,
redemption rights and conversion privileges. The issuance of Preferred Stock may
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the
Company without further action by the stockholders. Preferred Stock issued with
voting, conversion or redemption rights may adversely affect the voting power of
the holders of Common Stock, and could discourage any attempt to obtain control
of the Company. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Board of Directors has
not authorized any series of Preferred Stock, and there are presently no
agreements or understandings for the issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock.
 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE FOUNDER CORPORATION AND CARLYLE INVESTORS
AFFECTING THE COMPANY
 
     The RF Investors and Telcom Ventures limited liability company agreements
provide that, for as long as the Carlyle Investors collectively own at least 5%
of the total membership interests of Telcom Ventures, Telcom Ventures shall vote
any and all shares of the Company held by it, and shall cause RF Investors to
vote any and all shares held by it, from time to time: (i) to elect as directors
of the Company two persons recommended by the Carlyle Investors and (ii) not
take any of the following actions without the consent of the Carlyle Investors:
(a) approve any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of
the Company; (b) approve the incurrence by the Company of any debt (or the
granting of security relating to the incurrence of debt) if as a result of such
incurrence, the debt to equity ratio of the Company exceeds 6:1, or, if
 
                                       63
<PAGE>   66
 
as a result of such debt incurrence, the total outstanding debt of the Company
exceeds $50 million plus or minus, as the case may be, the cumulative net income
or net losses of the Company after January 1994; (c) approve any new affiliated
party transactions in excess of $150,000 or of modifications to existing
transactions, subject to certain limited exceptions; (d) approve appointment of
independent accountants of the Company other than one of the "big six"
accounting firms; or (e) approve certain events relating to bankruptcy or
insolvency of the Company.
 
     The RF Investors and Telcom Ventures limited liability company agreements
provide for various rights of the Carlyle Investors to cause the distribution to
the Carlyle Investors of Common Stock held by RF Investors. Following the third
anniversary of the closing of the Offering, the Carlyle Investors will have the
right to cause the distribution to the Carlyle Investors (by RF Investors and
then Telcom Ventures), of up to the Carlyle Investors' indirect proportionate
interest in the shares of Common Stock then held by RF Investors which is in
excess of 10% of the Common Stock then outstanding (treating Class A Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock as a single class of Common Stock for this
purpose). The Carlyle Investors' initial indirect proportionate interest in RF
Investors is 25%, which interest will be recalculated following any
non-proportional distribution to the Carlyle Investors. Following the fifth
anniversary of the closing of the Offering, the Carlyle Investors will have the
right to cause the distribution to the Carlyle Investors (by RF Investors and
then Telcom Ventures), of up to the full amount of the Carlyle Investors' then
indirect proportionate interest in the shares of Common Stock, so long as the
Common Stock remaining held by RF Investors would leave RF Investors with at
least 51% of the voting power of the Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the
first distribution to the Carlyle Investors, the Carlyle Investors will have the
right to exercise one of the three rights held by RF Investors to demand
registration of shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act. "Certain
Transactions -- Registration Rights." The ability of the Carlyle Investors to
require distributions of Class A Common Stock or demand a registration thereof
would be subject to a determination by an investment banker reasonably
acceptable to RF Investors and the Carlyle Investors that such action would not
materially adversely impact the market for the Common Stock.
 
   
CARLYLE OPTION DESIGNEE STOCK OPTIONS
    
 
   
     The Company has reserved 85,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to
anti-dilution adjustments in the event of a stock split, recapitalization or
similar transaction) for issuance pursuant to options to be granted to the
Carlyle Option Designees. The option exercise price for the Carlyle Option
Designee Stock Options will be 100% of the fair market value of the Class A
Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. The applicable Carlyle Option
Designees will be granted an initial option to purchase 25,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock in connection with the Offering, and an additional option to
purchase 15,000 shares of Class A Common Stock on each of the next four

ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS FOR STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS
OF DIRECTORS
 
     The Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure with regard to the
nomination, other than by the Board of Directors, of candidates for election as
directors (the "Nomination Procedure") and with regard to certain matters to be
brought before an annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Business
Procedure"). The Nomination Procedure requires that a stockholder give prior
written notice, in specified form, of a planned nomination to the Board of
Directors to the Secretary of the Company. Any person who is not so nominated
will not be eligible for election as a director under the Nomination Procedure.
Under the Business Procedure, a stockholder seeking to have any business
conducted at an annual or special meeting must give prior written notice, in
specified form, to the Secretary of the Company. If business is not properly
brought before such meeting in accordance with the Business Procedure, such
business will not be transacted at such meeting. Although the Bylaws do not give
the Board of Directors any power to approve or disapprove stockholder
nominations for the election of directors or any other business desired by
stockholders to be conducted at an annual or special meeting, the Bylaws (i) may
have the effect of precluding a nomination for the election of directors or
precluding the conduct of business at a particular meeting if the proper
procedures
 
                                       64
<PAGE>   67
 
are not followed or (ii) may discourage or deter a third party from conducting a
solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise
attempting to obtain control of the Company, even if the conduct of such
solicitation or such attempt might be beneficial to the Company and its
stockholders.
 
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
 
     The Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the fullest extent
permitted by law, no director of the Company will be liable to the Company or
its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. The Delaware Law permits such limitation of liability except for (i)
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;
(ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law; (iii) approval of certain unlawful dividends or
stock purchases or redemptions; and (iv) any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. In appropriate circumstances, equitable
remedies such as an injunction or other forms of non-monetary relief would
remain available under Delaware Law.
 
SECTION 203 OF DELAWARE LAW
 
     The Company will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of Delaware
Law ("Section 203"). Under Section 203, a Delaware corporation may not engage in
a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three
years after the date such person became an interested stockholder, unless (i)
prior to such date, the board of directors approved either the business
combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted
in such person becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
owned at least 85% of the corporation's voting stock outstanding at the time the
transaction commenced (excluding the number of outstanding shares owned by (a)
persons who are directors and officers and (b) employees through certain
employee stock plans); or (iii) subsequent to such date, the business
combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized by the
affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is
not owned by the interested stockholder. Section 203 defines the term "business
combination" to encompass a wide variety of transactions with or caused by an
interested stockholder, including certain types of mergers, consolidations,
asset transfers and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the
interested stockholder. "Interested stockholder" means a person who owns 15% or
more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock, or an affiliate and
associate of such person who has owned 15% or more of the corporation's voting
stock within a three-year period immediately prior to the date of such
determination.
 
LISTING
 
     The Class A Common Stock offered hereby has been approved for listing on
the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "LCCI," subject to official notice
of issuance.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
     The transfer agent and registrar for the Class A Common Stock is American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Prior to the Offering, there has been no established public market for the
Class A Common Stock. After the consummation of the Offering, substantial sales
of Class A Common Stock could adversely affect the price of the Class A Common
Stock in the public market.
 
     Upon completion of the Offering, 14,114,395 shares of Common Stock will be
outstanding (assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option), none of which
will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under
the Securities Act, other than the 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
offered hereby. As of the completion of the Offering, the Company's existing
stockholders will continue to own an aggregate of 9,114,395 shares of Common
Stock, assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. All of
 
                                       65
<PAGE>   68
 
such shares of Common Stock are deemed to be "restricted securities" as that
term is defined in Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act.
 
     In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are
aggregated with shares held by another person) who is not an affiliate of the
Company and who has satisfied a two-year holding period may, under certain
circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of restricted
securities which does not exceed the greater of one percent of the shares
outstanding or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks
preceding the notice of sale required by Rule 144. In addition, Rule 144
permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of restricted securities, without
any quantity limitations, by a person who is not an affiliate of the Company and
who has satisfied a three-year holding period. Under Rule 144, RF Investors, the
Founder Corporation and TC Group may be deemed to have acquired more than two
years ago the Common Stock held by them and accordingly, each may be able to
commence public sale of any of its Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 beginning
90 days after the Offering, except as provided by its "lock-up" agreement with
the Underwriters described below. MCI may be able, at the time of the MCI
Conversion (anticipated to be in August 1997), to commence public sale pursuant
to Rule 144 of the Common Stock received by MCI.
 
   
     The Selling Stockholder, the Founder Corporation, the TC Group and
executive officers and directors of the Company have agreed not to, directly or
indirectly, sell, offer, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or
otherwise dispose of any of their shares of Common Stock for a period of 180
days from the date of this Prospectus, without the prior written consent of DLJ,
notwithstanding any Rule 144 exemption which may be available to such
stockholder. Subject to such "lock-up" arrangements, which may be terminated
earlier at the discretion of DLJ, commencing 180 days after the date of this
Prospectus there may be 9,229,604 restricted shares of Common Stock available
for sale pursuant to Rule 144. The Company intends to file one or more
registration statements under the Securities Act with respect to the
approximately 3,894,000 shares of Common Stock available upon exercise of
options under the Employee Plan, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the
Directors Plan. Finally, RF Investors has and upon the MCI Conversion MCI will
have certain "demand" rights to require the Company to register their Class A
Common Stock for sale and to register shares on a "piggyback" basis in
connection with most registered public offerings of securities of the Company.
RF Investors and MCI are or will be entitled to registration rights that would,
among other things, permit each of RF Investors and MCI to submit three demand
registration requests to the Company (and one of the RF Investors demands may be
exercised by the Carlyle Investors following a distribution of shares of Common
Stock by RF Investors to Carlyle -- see "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain
Relationships Between the Founder Corporation and Carlyle Investors Affecting
the Company"). Generally, the Company is required to use "best efforts" to file
a registration statement with the Commission within 90 days of receiving such a
request. However, once a year, the Company may defer a demand registration
request for a period of up to 90 days if the Board of Directors makes a good
faith determination that it would be "seriously detrimental" to the Company to
file a registration statement within the time period otherwise required. See
"Certain Transactions -- Registration Rights."
    
 
                                  UNDERWRITING
 
     Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement
(the "Underwriting Agreement"), the Underwriters named below have severally
agreed to purchase from the Company and the Selling Stockholder, and the Company
and the Selling Stockholder have agreed to sell to the Underwriters, an
aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at the Offering price per
share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover of
this Prospectus. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock that each

     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligation of the several
Underwriters to purchase and accept delivery of the shares of Class A Common
Stock offered hereby are subject to approval of certain legal matters by their
counsel and to certain other conditions. If any shares of Class A Common Stock
are purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, all
such shares (other than shares covered by the Over-Allotment Option) must be
purchased by the Underwriters.
 
     The Company and the Selling Stockholder have agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be
required to make in respect thereof.
 
     The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose to offer the
shares of Class A Common Stock to the public initially at a price to the public
set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers (who may
include the Underwriters) at such price, less a concession not to exceed
$          per share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may re-allow,
a concession not in excess of $          per share to any other Underwriter and
certain other dealers. After the Offering, the Offering price and other selling
terms may be changed by the Underwriters.
 
     The Company and the Selling Stockholder have granted to the Underwriters
the Over-Allotment Option to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 additional
shares (412,500 shares from the Company and 337,500 shares from the Selling
Stockholder) of Class A Common Stock at the Offering price net of underwriting
discounts and commissions, solely to cover over-allotments. The Over-Allotment
Option may be exercised at any time within 30 days after the date of this
Prospectus. To the extent that the Underwriters exercise the Over-Allotment
Option, each of the Underwriters will be committed, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase a number of option shares proportionate to such
Underwriter's initial commitment as indicated in the preceding table and the
Company and Selling Stockholder will have committed to sell such shares to the
Underwriters. If purchased, the Underwriters will sell such additional 750,000
shares on the same terms on which the 5,000,000 shares are being offered.
 
     The Underwriters have requested that the Selling Stockholder and the other
stockholder and executive officers and directors of the Company agree not to
offer, sell, transfer, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or
otherwise dispose of any Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or, in any manner, transfer all or
a portion of the economic consequences associated with the ownership of Common
Stock or cause to be filed with the Commission a registration statement with
respect thereto, for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus
without prior written consent of DLJ. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
 
     The Class A Common Stock has been approved for listing on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol "LCCI," subject to official notice of issuance.
 
     Certain Underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in and may in the
future engage in commercial banking and investment banking transactions with the
Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
 
     The Underwriters have informed the Company that they do not expect sales to
discretionary accounts by the Underwriters to exceed five percent of the total
number of shares of Class A Common Stock offered by them.
 
     At the request of the Company, up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock offered
hereby have been reserved for sale to certain individuals, including directors
and employees of the Company and of other entities with whom directors of the
Company are affiliated, and members of their families. The price of such shares
to such persons will be Offering price. The number of shares available to the
general public will be reduced to the extent such persons purchase reserved
shares. Any shares not so purchased will be offered hereby to the general public
at the Offering price.
 
     The Company has an agreement with Mr. Jack Markell pursuant to which Mr.
Markell provided certain consulting and financial advisory services to the
Company, including assisting the Company with respect to the
 
                                       67
<PAGE>   70
 
Offering. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Markell will be entitled to receive a
fee equal to 0.25% of the proceeds received by the Company and RF Investors from
the Offering.
 
     Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the shares of
Class A Common Stock. The initial price to the public for the shares of Class A
Common Stock will be determined by negotiation among the Company, the Selling
Stockholder and the Representatives. Among the factors considered in determining
the initial price to the public include the history of and the prospects for the
industry in which the Company competes, the past and present operations of the
Company, the historical results of operations of the Company, the prospects for
future earnings of the Company, the recent market prices of securities of
generally comparable companies and the general condition of the securities
markets at the time of the Offering.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
     The validity of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby and
certain other legal matters regarding the shares of Class A Common Stock will be

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Members' Committee
LCC, L.L.C. and Subsidiaries:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LCC, L.L.C.
and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, members' capital, and cash flows
as of and for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
1995. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LCC, L.L.C.
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period
ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

(1)  DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS
 
     The Company is a leading provider of integrated services and products
relating to the design and engineering of wireless communications systems. The
services and products provided by the Company are as follows:
 
  SERVICES
 
       Engineering and design services -- The Company provides engineering and
  design services for cellular phone system operators, personal communication
  system (PCS) operators and other wireless communication system providers.
  These services are predominately provided on a time-and-material or
  fixed-price contract basis.
 
       Program management services -- The Company provides program management
  services related to the build-out of wireless communications systems.
 
  PRODUCTS
 
       Software products -- The Company develops and markets proprietary
  software and data, which support the design and operation of wireless
  communications systems.
 
       Hardware products -- The Company designs, assembles and sells field
  measurement equipment used in the implementation, testing and maintenance of
  wireless communications systems.
 
     The Company operates in a highly competitive environment subject to rapid
technological change and emergence of new technologies. Future revenues are
dependent upon the re-engineering of existing wireless communications systems,
introduction of existing wireless technologies into new markets, the entrance of
new wireless providers into existing markets and the introduction of new
technologies. Although the Company believes that its services and products are
transferable to emerging technologies, rapid changes in technology could have an
adverse financial impact on the Company.
 
     The Company's existing and potential customer base is diverse and includes
start-up companies and foreign enterprises. Although the Company believes that
the diversity of its customer base minimizes the risk of incurring material
losses due to concentrations of credit risk, it may be exposed to a declining
customer base in periods of market downturns, severe competition, or
international developments.
 
(2)  FORMATION OF LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
 
     LCC, L.L.C. is the successor to the business formerly conducted by LCC,
Incorporated and certain of its affiliates. The transactions pursuant to which
LCC, L.L.C. was formed are described below.
 
     On January 3, 1994, LCC, Incorporated and certain of its affiliates, Telcom
Solutions, Incorporated, LCC International Corporation, and Eurofon,
Incorporated (herein collectively referred to as LCC, Incorporated and
affiliates) and their shareholders consummated a transaction pursuant to which
certain affiliates of The Carlyle Group acquired a 25.0 percent interest in
Telcom Ventures, L.L.C. (Telcom Ventures), a newly formed limited liability
company for $38,000,000.
 
     Upon the consummation of this transaction, substantially all the assets and
liabilities of LCC, Incorporated and affiliates were transferred to Telcom
Ventures at their carrying value. LCC, Incorporated and affiliates retained
assets totaling $4,317,000, which consisted of certain related party notes
receivable, investments in certain joint ventures, and a 20.0 percent limited
partnership interest in Eurofon, Incorporated & Co. KG. (EKG).

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     LCC, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on January 4,
1994, as the successor entity to LCC, Incorporated and affiliates. In
conjunction with the formation of LCC, L.L.C., Telcom Ventures made a capital
contribution of $16,690,000 to LCC, L.L.C. in exchange for a 99.0 percent
interest in LCC, L.L.C. Telcom Ventures' capital contribution consisted of
$6,351,000 of the net assets and liabilities formerly employed by LCC,
Incorporated and affiliates, which were transferred to LCC, L.L.C. at their
carrying values, and $10,339,000 of the Carlyle Group's contribution to Telcom
Ventures. Upon the formation of LCC, L.L.C., Telcom Ventures retained an
investment in Wireless Ventures of Brazil, Inc. totaling $15,253,000 which had
been held by LCC, Incorporated and affiliates on behalf of its shareholders and
the Carlyle Group as of December 31, 1993.
 
     In connection with such transactions, a total of $1,602,000 was required to
be paid to certain employees. LCC, Incorporated recorded this amount as an
expense in 1994 prior to the formation of LCC, L.L.C. This liability was
transferred to LCC, L.L.C. upon its formation. At December 31, 1994, the
remaining unpaid amounts associated with the termination and cancellation of the
Plan of $1,000,000 is included in due to related parties and affiliates within
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount was paid in 1995.
 
(3)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
     Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less.
 
  SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
 
     Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit and other highly
liquid investments with maturity dates of more than three months from the date
of acquisition. Investments are carried at cost plus accrued interest which
approximates their market value.
 
  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
     Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration
of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company sells its
services and products globally. Generally, the Company does not require
collateral or other security to support customer receivables. The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and
maintains reserves for potential credit losses. The Company had the following
significant concentrations of trade receivables from customers located outside
the United States at December 31, 1994 and 1995:

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  INVENTORY
 
     Inventory, net of allowance for obsolete and slow moving inventory,
consists of parts and accessories for field measurement and test equipment and
is stated at the lower of cost, determined on an average cost basis, or market
value.
 
  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Property and equipment are stated at cost, less an allowance for
depreciation. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized; maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
     Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to seven years. The
costs of leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized using the
straight-line method over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the
respective leases.
 
  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
 
     The Company capitalizes software development costs, principally wages and
contractor fees, when incurred, after establishing the commercial and
technological feasibility of the product. These costs are amortized using the
greater of the ratio of current product revenue to total current and anticipated
product revenue or the straight-line method over the software's estimated
economic life, generally ten to forty-eight months. During 1993, 1994, and 1995
the company recognized software amortization costs of approximately $0, $131,000
and $927,000, respectively.
 
     The Company periodically performs an evaluation of the net realizable value
of its capitalized software development costs. This evaluation requires
considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors
including, but not limited to, anticipated future revenues, estimated product
economic life, and changes in technology. No capitalized software development
costs were written off in 1993 or 1994. Approximately $130,000 of software
development costs were written off in 1995.
 
     All other research and development expenditures are expensed in the period
incurred. The amount of other research and development costs was $512,000,
$477,000 and $479,000 in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
  INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
 
     The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in,
advances to and the earnings and losses of its joint ventures.
 
  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     The Company's principal sources of revenue are engineering and design
services, program management services, sales of field measurement and testing
equipment and software license agreements. The Company recognizes revenue from
long-term fixed price contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, based
on individual contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated
contract costs. Anticipated contract losses are recognized as soon as they
become known and estimable. The Company recognizes revenue from software
licenses either at the time the software is delivered and accepted or ratably
over the contract term depending on the nature of the license arrangement.
Revenue on sales of field measurement and testing equipment is recognized at the
time the merchandise is shipped. Revenue from consulting and other software
related services is recognized as such services are rendered. Revenue from post
contract customer support (maintenance) agreements is recognized ratably over
the period during which the services are to be

performed. Revenue earned but not yet billed is reflected as unbilled
receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects
substantially all unbilled receivables to be billed and collected in one year.
 
  INCOME TAXES
 
     As a limited liability company, the Company is not directly subject to U.S.
Federal income taxes. Instead, the members are responsible for Federal income
taxes on their proportionate share of taxable income. Members are also entitled
to a proportionate share of tax deductions and credits.
 
     Generally, the Company is not subject to U.S. state and local income taxes
as the majority of states recognize the flow-through nature of a limited
liability company. This practice follows the U.S. Federal tax rules and,
accordingly, the members are taxed by the states based upon their allocated
taxable income or loss. States which do not recognize the limited liability
company as a flow-through entity require the Company to be taxed as if it were a
corporation. Where this is the case, the Company has established a provision for
these income taxes.
 
     Certain of the Company's international operations are subject to local
income taxation. Currently, the Company is subject to taxation on income from
certain operations in Europe, Latin America, the Far East, the Middle East and
the non-U.S. portions of North America where the Company has established branch
offices or has performed significant services that constitute a "permanent
establishment" for tax reporting purposes. Foreign taxes account for a
significant portion of the provision for income taxes as reflected in the
Company's consolidated statements of operations (see note 9). The foreign taxes
paid or accrued by the Company represent a potential credit for the members
against their federal income taxes. Where applicable, these credits are
allocated to the members based upon their proportionate membership interests in
the Company.
 
  PRO FORMA INCOME DATA (UNAUDITED)
 
     In connection with the Company's planned initial public offering of Class A
Common Stock, the Company intends to convert to a Subchapter C corporation under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the IRC). Accordingly, the
accompanying pro forma information has been prepared as if the Company was
treated as a Subchapter C corporation for Federal and state income tax purposes
from January 1, 1995.
 
     Pro forma income per share information has been computed by dividing pro
forma net income by the pro forma weighted average number of common shares and
common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents include all
outstanding stock options after applying the treasury stock method and the
Company's and Telcom Ventures' convertible subordinated debt. Common stock
options granted during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Company's
initial public offering have been included in the calculation of weighted
average common shares outstanding for all periods presented based on a per share
price of $14.
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
     Gains and losses on translation of the accounts of the Company's foreign
operations where the local currency is the functional currency are accumulated
and included in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment within
the accompanying consolidated statement of members' capital. Foreign currency
transaction gains and losses are recognized currently in the consolidated
statements of operations.
 
  PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES
 
     The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of

assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimated.
 
  UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION
 
     The unaudited interim information for the six months ended June 30, 1995

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     Notes receivable consists of two promissory notes due from an entity owned
approximately 4.5 percent by a 100 percent-owned subsidiary of Telcom Ventures
and approximately 15.0 percent by a member of Telcom Ventures. The notes bear
interest at approximately 16.5 percent and are payable monthly. Late payments
are subject to an additional charge of 2.0 percent on the entire unpaid
principal balance and any outstanding interest. All outstanding principal is due
in 1996. Interest income recorded on the notes was $104,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995. The Company expects payment to be made on these notes from
capital contributions to be made by the shareholders of this entity during 1996,
including Telcom Ventures and the member of Telcom Ventures.
 
     In May 1995, the Company entered into a revolving promissory note with
Telcom Ventures under which it had advanced $9,382,000 to Telcom Ventures as of
December 31, 1995. The note bears a variable interest rate of prime plus 3.0
percent, escalating at .25 percent increments at various intervals over the term
of the debt. At December 31, 1995, the note carried an interest rate of prime
plus 3.25 percent or 11.75 percent. Outstanding principal together with all
accrued interest is due May 30, 2001. The note is reflected as a reduction of
members' capital in the accompanying statements of members' capital.

     U.S. state and local income tax expense is generated from activities
conducted in the several states that do not recognize the limited liability
company as a flow-through entity and, therefore, require the Company to be taxed
as if it were a corporation. Foreign income tax expense is generated from
business conducted in countries where the Company has established branch offices
or has performed significant services that constitute a "permanent
establishment" for tax reporting purposes.
 
     Income tax expense consists of the following:

(10)  NOTE PAYABLE
 
     In May 1995, the Company entered into a $15,000,000 financing facility with
Nomura Holding America Inc. At December 31, 1995, $10,000,000 had been drawn
against the facility. At each six-month anniversary of issuance while the
facility remains outstanding, the original interest rate of prime plus 3.0
percent will increase by .25 percent. At December 31, 1995, the facility carried
an interest rate of prime plus 3.25 percent or 11.75 percent. All unpaid
principal and interest due under the facility is payable no later than May 30,
1997. The facility was secured by the pledging of substantially all of the
Company's assets and Telcom Ventures' membership interest in the Company and was
guaranteed by Telcom Ventures.
 
     The financing facility contained certain covenants restricting additional
indebtedness and payment of dividends, as well as requiring the maintenance of
certain financial ratios. At December 31, 1995, the Company was in violation of
certain of these covenants. However, subsequent to year-end, the Nomura facility
was purchased by Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. (Chase) and the obligation to Nomura
was satisfied (see note 19).
 
(11)  CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBT
 
     In June 1994, the Company issued to a third-party investor a $20,000,000
convertible Subordinated Note Due 2000 (the Subordinated Note). The Subordinated
Note bears interest at a rate equal to the higher of 6.8 percent, payable
semiannually or an amount which approximates their return had they converted
into a membership interest from the date when the Subordinated Note was issued.
The entire principal amount of the Subordinated Note is due in June 2000. Upon
the occurrence of certain specified events (including any merger of the Company
with another company or any sale of substantially all of the Company's assets),
the Subordinated Note will automatically be exchanged for an 8.0 percent
membership interest in the Company.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
In addition, the investor has the right to exchange the Subordinated Note for an
8.0 percent membership interest in the Company: (1) at any time during the
45-day period commencing on the third through fifth anniversaries of the
issuance of the Subordinated Note; (2) in the event the Company effects a public
offering; and (3) upon the occurrence of certain other specified events. The
Company has the right to exchange the Subordinated Note for an 8.0 percent
membership interest in the Company: (1) in the event the Company effects a
public offering; (2) if the investor does not exchange the Subordinated Note
during the 45-day period commencing on the third through fifth anniversaries of
the issuance of the Subordinated Note; and (3) upon the occurrence of certain
other specified events.
 
     In June 1994, Telcom Ventures issued a $30,000,000 convertible Subordinated
Note Due 2000 (the Telcom Ventures Subordinated Note) to the same investor. Upon
the occurrence of certain specified events (including any merger of the Company
with another company or any sale of substantially all of the Company's assets),
the Telcom Ventures Subordinated Note will automatically be exchanged for a 12.0
percent membership interest in the Company. In addition, the investor has the
right to exchange the Telcom Ventures Subordinated Note for a 12.0 percent
membership interest in the Company: (1) at any time during the 45-day period
commencing on the third through fifth anniversaries of the issuance of the
Telcom Ventures Subordinated Note; (2) in the event the Company effects a public
offering; and (3) upon the occurrence of certain other specified events. Telcom
Ventures has the right to exchange the Telcom Ventures Subordinated Note for a
12.0 percent membership interest in the Company: (1) in the event the Company
effects a public offering; (2) if the investor does not exchange the Telcom
Ventures Subordinated Note during the 45-day period commencing on the third
through fifth anniversaries of the issuance of the Telcom Ventures Subordinated
Note; and (3) upon the occurrence of certain other specified events. The Company
has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of Telcom Ventures
under the Telcom Ventures Subordinated Note.
 
(12)  HEALTH AND RETIREMENT PLANS
 
     The Company has a defined contribution profit sharing plan under Section
401(k) of the IRC that provides for voluntary employee contributions of 1.0 to
15.0 percent of compensation for substantially all employees. The Company makes
a matching contribution of 50.0 percent of an employee's contribution up to 6.0
percent of each employee's compensation. Company contributions and other
expenses associated with the plan were approximately $194,000, $383,000, and
$419,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively.
 
     The Company is self-insured for group health, life, and short and long-term
disability claims below certain specified limits.
 
(13)  INCENTIVE PLANS
 
  PHANTOM MEMBERSHIP PLAN
 
     In April 1994, the Company adopted the Phantom Membership Plan (the Phantom
Membership Plan). Under the Phantom Membership Plan, the Members Committee is
authorized to grant awards (Phantom Membership Awards) to those employees of the
Company whose responsibilities and decisions, in the Members Committee's
opinion, affect the long-term sustained growth and profitability of the Company.
 
     Each Phantom Membership Award entitles the recipient thereof to receive, no
later than May 1 of each year, an annual award based on a specified percentage
of the Company's net earnings for the preceding fiscal year. The Phantom
Membership Plan also includes a long-term award. Under the long-term award, once
a Phantom Membership Award is fully vested, the recipient has the right to
require the Company to purchase, and the Company has the right to require such
recipient to sell, all or any portion of the recipient's Phantom Membership
Award. The purchase price is equal to the specified percentage relating to such
Phantom

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Membership Award multiplied by the portion of the Phantom Membership Award being
purchased, multiplied by the then-current "deemed fair market value" of the
Company or, for certain employees, the fair market value as determined by
appraisal. As defined in the Phantom Membership Plan, "deemed fair market value"
is equal to 14 times the Company's income before interest and taxes for the
calendar year preceding the date of the calculation. In general, Phantom
Membership Awards become fully vested on either the third or fifth anniversary
of the grant thereof, as determined by the recipient in his or her discretion at
the time his or her Phantom Membership Award is granted.
 
     In the event of a public offering of the Company's securities under the
Securities Act of 1933, each fully vested outstanding Phantom Membership Award
is automatically converted into a number of shares of the Company's capital
stock equal to the specified percentage relating to such Phantom Membership
Award, multiplied by the total number of shares of the Company's capital stock
to be issued and outstanding immediately following the closing of the public
offering. In the event of the acquisition by third party of 75 percent or more
of the outstanding membership interest or assets of the Company, each fully
vested and outstanding Phantom Membership Award is converted into a membership
interest equal to the specified percentage relating to such Phantom Membership
Award, multiplied by the total membership interests to be issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the closing of the transaction (assuming conversion in full
of all Phantom Membership Awards which are then outstanding and fully vested).
 
     As of December 31, 1994 and 1995, 44 and 40 employees, respectively, had
been granted Phantom Membership Awards, and the aggregate Applicable Percentage
of all outstanding Phantom Membership Awards was 6.5 percent and 6.4 percent,
respectively. Compensation expense related to the annual award feature of the
Phantom Membership Plan was $530,000 and $608,000 for 1994 and 1995,
respectively, the liability for which is included in accrued expenses in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Non-cash compensation related to the
long-term award feature of the Phantom Membership Plan was $3,255,000 and
$4,646,000 for 1994 and 1995, respectively, the liability for which is included
in obligation under incentive plans in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. Prior to 1995, certain Awards under the Phantom Membership Plan were
recognized over the estimated service period of the employee. The Company has
changed the method of accounting for the awards to reflect compensation expense
over the vesting period to better match the expense with the period earned by
the employee. All periods presented have been revised to reflect this change in
accounting.
 
  INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
 
     In September 1994, the Company adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan (the
Incentive Compensation Plan). Under the Incentive Compensation Plan, the Members
Committee is authorized to grant awards (Incentive Awards) to those employees of
the Company whose responsibilities and decisions, in the Members Committee's
opinion, affect the long-term sustained growth and profitability of the Company.
 
     Each Incentive Award entitles the recipient thereof to receive a cash
payment on the date specified in the corresponding award agreement. To date, all
Incentive Awards granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan are payable on
the third anniversary of the grant thereof. At the discretion of the Members
Committee, participating employees may borrow a portion of the total amount of
their Incentive Awards.
 
     As of December 31, 1994 and 1995, 20 and 60 employees, respectively, had
been granted Incentive Awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.
Compensation expense accrued in connection with the distribution of the value of
vested Incentive Awards was $87,000 and $635,000 for the years ended December
31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, which has been included in obligations under
incentive plans, net of current portion in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.

(14)  LEASE COMMITMENTS
 
     The Company leases office facilities and certain equipment, principally in
the United States, under operating leases expiring on various dates over the
next eight years. The lease agreements include renewal options and provisions
for rental escalations based on the Consumer Price Index and require the Company
to pay for executory costs such as taxes and insurance. The lease agreements
also allow the Company to elect an early out provision by giving notice and
paying certain lease termination penalties.
 
     Benefits associated with a rent abatement period and certain lease
incentives for office facilities are reflected ratably over the period of the
lease. The total deferred rent benefit was approximately $1,870,000 and
$1,434,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
     In November 1995, the Company gave notice of early lease termination to one
of its landlords and recorded the lease termination penalty thereon in its
calendar 1995, financial statements. In May 1996, the Company entered into
10-year and 5-year facility lease agreements effective March 1, 1997 and July 1,
1997, respectively. Future minimum rental payments related to these leases, as
well as the termination payments for existing leases, are included in the
balances below (see note 19).
 
     Future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases,
excluding executory costs, are as follows:

     The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and accounts payable approximated
fair value as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, because of the relatively short
duration of these instruments.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM MEMBER -- the carrying value of the notes receivable
from member approximated the fair value as the receivable is treated as a deemed
distribution to owners.
 
     CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBT -- the carrying value of the convertible
subordinated debt approximated fair value as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
based upon the Company's borrowing activities and assessment of current prices
offered for similar loans.
 
     LETTERS OF CREDIT -- the fair value of letters of credit was estimated
based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or the estimated cost to
terminate or settle the obligations.
 
     Financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to
guarantee the payment of certain liabilities of unconsolidated affiliates. As of
December 31, 1994 and 1995, one such guarantee was outstanding, which was issued
to support a borrowing arrangement (see note 11). The Company's exposure for
this guarantee is equal to the contractual amount of the guarantee of
$30,000,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1995.
 
(19)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     In January 1996, the Company sold its 50.0 percent interest in Telemate and
granted certain distribution rights for the Company's software and hardware
products for $3,800,000. Approximately $1,400,000 of the proceeds were received
for the Company's investment in Telemate, resulting in a gain of approximately
$514,000, which was recognized by the Company in its calendar 1996 first quarter
results. The remaining proceeds of $2,400,000 were recorded as deferred revenue
and are being amortized to income over the 24 month life of the distribution
agreement.
 
     In March 1996, the Company adopted an Employee Option Plan for certain key
executives under which the Members' Committee may grant options for up to an
aggregate 6 percent interest in the Company. The options were granted in March
1996 at an exercise price generally equal to fair market value at time of grant
and generally become exercisable at 20.0 percent a year over a five-year period.
Unexercised options generally expire ten years after issuance.
 
     In March 1996, the Nomura Facility (see note 10) was purchased by Chase.
Also in March, additional draws aggregating $10.0 million were made by the
Company, resulting in a total outstanding balance under the facility of $20.0
million. The terms and conditions of the Nomura Facility remained intact with
the exception of interest rate which was subsequently revised such that interest
on the loans will accrue at the announced prime commercial lending rate of Chase
plus .25%. The additional $10.0 million draws were used to fund two investments
in customers. One investment consists of loans aggregating $6.5 million. The
loans are convertible into shares of non-voting common stock at the Company's
option, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with this
investment, the Company obtained a commitment from the customer to purchase
services and products aggregating $65.0 million over the next five years. The
other investment consists of an equity investment of $5.0 million. In connection
with this investment, the Company obtained a commitment from the customer for
the purchase of services and products aggregating $55.0 million over the next
five years.
 
     In May 1996, the Company entered into 10-year and 5-year facility lease
agreements effective March 1, 1997 and July 1, 1997, respectively. The lease
agreements contain renewal options for up to three five-year periods. The lease
agreements also provide for the Company to pay real estate taxes and certain
other operating costs of the properties. Lease termination costs associated with
the current facility leases of $1.4 million were recorded in the calendar 1995
financial statements. Future lease payments associated with the new lease are
included in future minimum rental payments in note 14.
 
(20)  REFINANCING OF NOTE PAYABLE (UNAUDITED)
 
     In June 1996, the Company entered into a new three year revolving credit
and five year term loan facility with Chase which replaced the March 1996
facility (see note 19). Under the facility, Chase has extended (1) a revolving
credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the lesser of
$12.5 million or

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
80 percent of the Company's receivables which are deemed "eligible" as a basis
for obtaining credit and (2) a term loan in the amount of $7.5 million. Interest
on the loans will accrue at the Company's election at either (1) a variable rate
determined with reference to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 1/2
of 1 percent, and (b) the announced prime lending rate of Chase or (2) a fixed
rate determined with reference to the London Interbank Market. In addition, an
interest margin will be added to the variable rate or fixed rate (as applicable)
based on the Company's cash flow leverage ratio, as periodically determined.
 
     At June 30, 1996, the Company was in violation of certain financial ratios
required to be maintained under its agreement with Chase. The Company has
obtained a waiver of such covenant violations from Chase. At June 30, 1996, the
Company has classified the note payable as a current liability in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
     Under Section 145 of the Delaware Law, a corporation may indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents and its former directors, officers,
employees and agents and those who serve, at the corporation's request, in such
capacities with another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), as well as judgments, fines and settlements in nonderivative lawsuits,
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any action,
suit or proceeding in which they or any of them were or are made parties or are
threatened to be made parties by reason of their serving or having served in
such capacity. The Delaware Law provides, however, that such person must have
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in (or
not opposed to) the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a
criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the Delaware Law does not permit
indemnification in an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation,
where such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless, and only
to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly and reasonably is
entitled to indemnity for costs the court deems proper in light of liability
adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has
been successfully defended.
 
     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for mandatory
indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware Law. Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company shall advance
expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any such action if the
director or officer undertakes to repay such amount if it is determined that he
or she is not entitled to indemnification. The Company will obtain directors and
officers liability insurance.
 
   
     The Company will enter into separate indemnification agreements with each
of its directors and executive officers pursuant to which the Company will
agree, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions: (i) to
indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law against any liabilities
and expenses (including attorneys fees) reasonably incurred in connection with
any threatened, pending or completed action or other proceeding arising from the
fact that they are each in an Indemnifiable Capacity or because of anything done
or not done by each of them in such Indemnifiable Capacity, and (ii) to advance
any such expenses no later than thirty days after demand. An Indemnifiable
Capacity is defined as the fact that the person is or was a director or
executive officer of the Company, or, while a director or executive officer of
the

Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust,
nonprofit entity, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
    
 
     The Underwriting Agreement provides for indemnification by the Underwriters
of the directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act under
certain circumstances.
 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
     From the Company's inception on June 4, 1996 through the date hereof, the

          On June 13, 1996, LCC International issued 10 shares of Class A Common
     Stock to the Limited Liability Company for a purchase price of $15.00 per
     share.
 
     Such issuance of securities described above was made in reliance on the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
("Section 4(2)") as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public
offering. In addition, in connection with the Merger, the Company intends to
issue 11,455,227 shares of Class B Common Stock to RF Investors, 85,233 shares
of Class B Common Stock to the Founder Corporation and 28,411 shares of Class A

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
     this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
     form of prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)
     or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
     be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                 1.       Registration Statement and Prospectus.  The Company
has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
(collectively called the "Act"), a registration statement on Form S-1 including

Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may
determine) which bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional
Shares to be purchased from the Company and the Selling Stockholder as the
number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in
Schedule I bears to the total number of Firm Shares.

                 The Sellers hereby agree, severally and not jointly, and the
Company shall, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, deliver an
agreement executed by (i) each of the directors and officers of the Company and

person agrees, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to

stock or in any other manner transfer all or a portion of the economic
consequences associated with the ownership of any such common stock, except to
the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, for a period of 180 days after the
date of the Prospectus without the prior written consent of Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, during such

you that the Underwriters propose (i) to make a public offering of their

                          6.22  The Company and each of its Significant

                 7.       Representations and Warranties of the Selling
Stockholder.  The Selling Stockholder represents and warrants to each
Underwriter that:

                          7.1  The Selling Stockholder is the lawful owner of

                                                                              13



title to such Shares, free of all restrictions on transfer, liens,
encumbrances, security interests and claims whatsoever.

                          7.2  Upon delivery of and payment for such Shares
pursuant to this Agreement, good and clear title to such Shares will pass to
the Underwriters, free of all restrictions on transfer, liens, encumbrances,
security interests and claims whatsoever.

                          7.3  The Selling Stockholder has, and on the Closing
Date will have, full corporate power and all legal right and authority to enter
into this Agreement and to sell, assign, transfer and deliver such Shares in
the manner provided herein, and this Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Selling Stockholder and is a valid and binding
agreement of the Selling Stockholder enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as rights to indemnity and contribution hereunder may be limited by
applicable law.


                          7.4  The Selling Stockholder has not taken, and will
not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or which might
reasonably be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of
the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of
the Shares pursuant to the distribution contemplated by this Agreement, and
other than as permitted by the Act, the Selling Stockholder has not distributed
and will not distribute any prospectus or other offering material in connection
with the offering and sale of the Shares.

                          7.5  The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Selling Stockholder, compliance by the Selling Stockholder
with all the provisions hereof and the consummation by the Selling Stockholder
of the transactions contemplated hereby will not require any consent, approval,
authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative
agency or other governmental body (except as such may be required under the
Act, state securities laws or Blue Sky laws) and will not conflict with or
constitute a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or a default under,
the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Selling Stockholder, or any
agreement, indenture or other instrument to which the Selling Stockholder is a
party or by which the Selling Stockholder or property of the Selling
Stockholder is bound, or violate or conflict with any laws, administrative
regulation or ruling or court decree applicable to the Selling Stockholder or
property of the Selling Stockholder.

statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the

                                                                              14



statements therein, in light of circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

                          7.7  At any time during the period described in
Section 5.5 hereof, if there is any change in the information referred to in
Section 7.6 above, the Selling Stockholder will immediately notify you of such
change.

                 8.       Indemnification.

                          8.1  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments
caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse
each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or judgment as such expenses are incurred, except insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by any such
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon
information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by
or on behalf of any Underwriter through you, or by the Selling Stockholder
under the caption "Principal and Selling Stockholders", in either case
expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity
agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the
benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and judgments purchased Shares, or any person
controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such
person, if required by law so to have been delivered,  at or prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of the Shares to such person, and if the
Prospectus (as so amended and supplemented) would have cured the defect giving
rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or judgment.

                          8.2  The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and judgments caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented if the Company





<PAGE>   15
                                                                              15



shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary
prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was contained in
those sections, or portions of sections, of the prospectus describing the
Selling Stockholder, Telcom Ventures, the Founder Corporation or TC Group (as
each such term is defined in the Prospectus) and/or the business relationships
of the Selling Stockholder, Telcom Ventures, the Founder Corporation and/or TC
Group with the Company and its subsidiaries, all as identified in Exhibit A
hereto, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or judgment as such expenses
are incurred; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with
respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any
Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and judgments purchased Shares, or by any person controlling such
Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if
the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not
sent or given by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such person, if required
by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of
the sale of the Shares to such person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended and
supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim,
damage, liability or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate
liability of the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph and with respect to Section 7.6 hereof shall be limited to an amount
equal to the aggregate purchase price received by the Selling Stockholder from
the sale of the Selling Stockholder's Shares hereunder.

                          8.3  In case any action shall be brought against any
Underwriter or any person controlling such Underwriter, based upon any
preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto and with respect to which indemnity may  be
sought against the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be,
such Underwriter shall promptly notify the Company and/or the Selling
Stockholder, as the case may be, in writing and the Company and/or the Selling
Stockholder, as the case may be, shall assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and
payment of all reasonable fees and expenses.  Any Underwriter or any such
controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter or such
controlling person unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been
specifically authorized in writing by the Company and/or the Selling
Stockholder, as the case may be, (ii) the Company and/or the Selling
Stockholder, as the case may be, shall have failed to assume the defense and
employ counsel or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any





<PAGE>   16
                                                                              16



impleaded parties) include both such Underwriter or such controlling person and
the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, and such
Underwriter or such controlling person shall have been advised by such counsel
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the  Company or the Selling
Stockholder, as the case may be (in which case the Company and/or the Selling
Stockholder, as the case may be, shall not have the right to assume the defense
of such action on behalf of such Underwriter or such controlling person, it
being understood, however, that the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder, as
the case may be, shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to any local counsel) for all such Underwriters and controlling
persons, which firm shall be designated in writing by Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation and that all such reasonable fees and expenses
shall be reimbursed as they are incurred).  The applicable Seller shall not be
liable for any settlement of any such action effected without the written
consent of such Seller but if settled with the written consent of such Seller,
such Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Underwriter and any such
controlling person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or, if both Sellers are liable with respect thereto, in the amount
of which the respective Sellers are liable pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if in any case where the
fees and expenses of counsel are at the expense of the indemnifying party and
an indemnified party shall have requested the indemnifying party to reimburse
the indemnified party for such fees and expenses of counsel as incurred, such
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
action effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered
into more than 90 days after the receipt by such  indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall have failed to
reimburse the indemnified party in accordance with such request for
reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement.  No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

                          8.4  Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its
officers who sign the Registration Statement, any person controlling the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, the Selling Stockholder and each person, if any, controlling the
Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Sellers to each Underwriter but only with reference to information





<PAGE>   17
                                                                              17



relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such
Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus.  In case any action shall be brought
against the Company, any of its directors, any such officer or any person
controlling the Company or the Selling Stockholder or any person controlling
the Selling Stockholder based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or
any preliminary prospectus and in respect of which indemnity may be sought
against any Underwriter, the Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given
to the Sellers (except that if any Seller shall have assumed the defense
thereof, such Underwriter shall not be required to do so, but may employ
separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter), and
the Company, its directors, any such officers and any person controlling the
Company and the Selling Stockholder and any person controlling the Selling
Stockholder shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriter, by
Section 8.3 hereof.


                          8.5  If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the
offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above
is not permitted by  applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also
the relative fault of the Sellers and the Underwriters in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Sellers and the
Underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net
proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Sellers,
and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the
Underwriters, bear to the total price to the public of the Shares, in each case
as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus.  The relative
fault of the Sellers and the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholder or the Underwriters and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.

                 The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.5 were determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the equitable





<PAGE>   18
                                                                              18



considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission and the Selling Stockholder shall not
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate purchase price
received by the Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Selling Stockholder's
Shares hereunder (and in the event there is a loss, claim, damage, liability or
judgment to which the Selling Stockholder would otherwise be required to
contribute such excess amount, the Company shall contribute such excess
amount).   No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Underwriters'
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8.5 are several in
proportion to the respective number of Shares purchased by each of the
Underwriters  hereunder and not joint.

                          8.6  Each Seller will accept the jurisdiction of any
state or federal court in the State of New York in any action, suit or
proceeding which may be instituted by any Underwriter or person controlling an
Underwriter asserting a claim for indemnification or contribution under or
pursuant to this Section 8, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any defense based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or venue.
A copy of any such process shall be sent or given to such Seller, at the
address for notices specified in Section 13 hereof.

                 9.       Conditions of Underwriters' Obligations.  The several
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Firm Shares under this
Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

since the date of the latest balance sheet included in the Registration

Subsidiaries from that set forth in the Registration Statement and Prospectus,
(iii) the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries shall have no liability or

received a certificate dated the Closing Date, signed by Piyush Sodha and
Richard Hozik in their capacities as the  President and Senior Vice President,
Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of the Company, confirming
the matters set forth in Section 9.1, Section 9.2 and Section 9.3.

                          9.4  All the representations and warranties of the
Selling Stockholder contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on
the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the
Closing Date and you shall have received a certificate to such effect, dated
the Closing Date, from the Selling Stockholder.

                          9.5  You shall have received on the Closing Date an

review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without independent

                          9.7  You shall have received a letter on and as of
the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to you, from KPMG Peat
Marwick, LLP independent public accountants, with respect to the financial
statements and certain financial information contained in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus and substantially in the form and substance of the
letter delivered to you by KPMG Peat Marwick, on the date of this Agreement.

                          9.8  The Company and the Selling Stockholder shall
not have failed at or prior to the Closing Date to perform or comply with any
of the agreements herein contained and required to be performed or complied
with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date.

The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase any Additional Shares
hereunder are subject to the delivery to you on the applicable Option Closing
Date of such documents as you may reasonably request with respect to the good
standing of the Company, the due authorization and issuance of such Additional
Shares and other matters related to the issuance of such Additional Shares.

                 10.      Effective Date of Agreement and Termination.  This
Agreement shall become effective upon the later of (i) execution of this
Agreement and (ii) when notification of the effectiveness of the Registration

                 This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
Closing Date by you by written notice to the Sellers if any of the following
has occurred: (i) since the respective dates as of which information is given
in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any material adverse change
or development involving a prospective material adverse change in the
condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its Significant
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the earnings, affairs, or business prospects
of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or
not arising in the ordinary course of business, which would, in your judgment,
make it impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus, (ii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities
or other national or international calamity or crisis or change in economic
conditions or in the financial markets of the United States or elsewhere that,
in your judgment, is material and adverse and would, in your judgment, make it
impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated
in the Prospectus, (iii) the suspension or material limitation of trading in
securities on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the
Nasdaq National Market or limitation on prices for securities on any such

decree or other promulgation of any federal or state statute, regulation, rule
or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion
materially and adversely affects, or will materially and adversely affect, the
business or operations of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, (v) the
declaration of a banking moratorium by either federal or New York State
authorities or (vi) the taking of any action by any federal, state or local
government or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs which in your
opinion has a material adverse effect on the financial markets in the United
States.

                 If on the Closing Date or on an Option Closing Date, as the
case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to
purchase the Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which it or
they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate number of
Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters, as the case may be, agreed but failed or refused
to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the total number of Shares to be
purchased on such date by all Underwriters, each non-defaulting Underwriter
shall be obligated severally, in the proportion which the number of Firm Shares
set forth opposite its name in Schedule I bears to the total number of Firm
Shares which all the non-defaulting Underwriters, as the case may be, have
agreed to  purchase, or in such other proportion as you may specify, to
purchase the Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, as the case may be, agreed but failed
or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number
of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which any Underwriter
has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 2 hereof be increased pursuant to
this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Firm
Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, without the written consent of
such Underwriter.  If on the Closing Date or on an Option Closing Date, as the
case may be, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
Firm Shares, or Additional Shares, as the case may be, and the aggregate number
of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, with respect to which
such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Shares to
be purchased on such date by all Underwriters and arrangements satisfactory to
you and the applicable Sellers for purchase of such Shares are not made within
48 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on
the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter and the applicable Sellers.  In any
such case which does not result in termination of this Agreement, either you or
the Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or the applicable
Option Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven
days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  Any
action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter
from liability in respect of any default of any such Underwriter under this
Agreement.

terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Sellers agree
to reimburse the several Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them.

                 For purposes of the Opinions expressed below, we have not,
except as specifically identified above, made any independent review or
investigation of factual or other matters, including the organization,
existence, good standing, assets, business or affairs of the Company, any of
its subsidiaries or the Limited Liability Company.  In our examination of the
Agreement and the aforesaid certificates, records, documents and agreements, we
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all
natural persons, the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of all documents
submitted to us, the authenticity of all original documents and the conformity
to authenticate original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies
(including telecopies).  We also have assumed the authenticity, accuracy and
completeness of the foregoing certifications (of public officials, governmental
agencies and departments, corporate officers and individuals) and statements of
fact, on which we are relying, and have made no independent investigations
thereof.  The Opinions are given in the context of the foregoing.

                 As used in this opinion letter, the phrase "to our knowledge" 
means the actual knowledge (that is, the conscious awareness of facts
or other information) of lawyers in the firm who have given substantive legal
attention to representation of the Company in connection with the Agreement.

                 Nothing herein shall be construed to cause us to be considered
"experts" within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act.

                 This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on
applicable provisions of (i) the federal securities statutes and regulations,
(ii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the
"Delaware Corporation Law"), (iii) the Limited Liability Company Act of the
State of Delaware, as amended (the "Delaware Limited Liability Company Act"),
and (iv) the HSR Act, and we express no opinion as to any other laws, statutes,
ordinances, rules or regulations (such as state securities or "blue sky" laws
or regulations).  For purposes of the opinions set forth in Paragraphs (l),
(q), (r) and (u) below, we have inquired of each of the Company, the Limited
Liability Company and the Selling Stockholder whether such entity is, and we
have received an officers' certificate from each such entity to the effect that
it is not, operating under any specific federal regulatory framework under
which it receives licenses or other authorizations or is making filings or
registrations with federal regulatory authorities, other than tax filings or

securities law filings.  On the basis of this inquiry and response, the
opinions with respect to federal law set forth in Paragraphs (l), (q), (r) and
(u) below are limited to those federal statutes and regulations (including
federal securities statutes and regulations and the HSR Act) which a lawyer
exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being
directly applicable to the Company, the Limited Liability Company or the
Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, or its performance of its respective
obligations under the Agreement or the Merger Agreement, as the case may be.

                 Based upon, subject to and limited by the foregoing, we are 
of the opinion that:

                 (a)      The Company was duly incorporated, and is validly
existing and in good standing under the Delaware Corporation Law as of the date
specified in Paragraph 7 above, and has the corporate power and corporate
authority to own, lease and operate its current properties and to conduct its
business as described in the Prospectus.

                 (b)      The Company is authorized to transact business as a
foreign corporation in the States and as of the respective dates set forth in
Schedule 1.

                 (c)      Design Services is a limited liability company
formed, and validly existing and in good standing as of the date of the
certificate specified in Paragraph 19 above under the laws of the State of
Delaware, and has the limited liability company power and limited liability
company authority under the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Design
Services and under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act to own, lease and
operate its current properties and to conduct the business in which it is
currently engaged.

                 (d)      Design Services is registered as a foreign limited
liability company in the Commonwealth of Virginia as of the date of the
certificate specified in Paragraph 19 above.

                 (e)      To our knowledge, the authorized, issued and
outstanding membership interests of Design Services and the holders of record
thereof, are as forth on Schedule 2 hereto.  Assuming that Design Services has
received the capital contributions specified in the Limited Liability Company
Agreement of Design Services, the parties which entered into the Limited
Liability Company Agreement

of Design Services hold the respective membership interests set forth therein,
and such membership interests are validly issued and fully paid under the
Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (except to the extent any obligation to
make further capital contributions under the Limited Liability Company
Agreement of Design Services might render such interests not fully paid prior
to making such contributions).

                 (f)      The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock
of the Company immediately following the Merger were as set forth under the
caption "Capitalization" in the Prospectus.  All shares of Common Stock shown
as issued and outstanding under said caption  (including the Firm Shares being
sold by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to Section 2 of the Agreement and the
shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger, but excluding the Shares being
issued to the Underwriters, which are addressed in Paragraph (g) below) have
been duly authorized and, assuming the receipt of consideration therefor as
provided in resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors authorizing
issuance thereof, are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and were
not issued in violation of (A) any preemptive rights under the Certificate of
Incorporation or the Delaware Corporation Law or (B) to our knowledge, similar
contractual rights.

                 (g)      The Company has the corporate power and corporate
authority to enter into the Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated thereby.  The Shares being issued to the Underwriters have been
duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Underwriters against
payment therefor as provided in the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable, and will not have been issued in violation of (A) any
preemptive rights under the Certificate of Incorporation or the Delaware
Corporation Law or (B) to our knowledge, similar contractual rights.

                 (h)      The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company.

                 (i)      The authorized capital stock of the Company conforms
in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus
under the caption "Description of Capital Stock."  The form of certificate
evidencing the Shares has been duly authorized and complies with the

                 (w)      Notification and Report Forms were submitted by Dr.

termination of the waiting period.  Consummation of the Merger does not require
any further premerger notification under the HSR Act or the Clayton Act.

                 During the course of the preparation of the Registration
Statement, we participated in conferences with officers and other
representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public
accountants of the Company and with you and your representatives.  While we
have not undertaken to determine independently, and we do not assume any
responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the statements
in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, we may state on the basis of these
conferences and our activities as counsel to the Company in connection with the
Registration Statement that no facts have come to our attention which cause us
to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, at the time it became
effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of the date
hereof, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) there are
any legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against the Company
or any Significant Subsidiary that are required to be disclosed in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, other than those disclosed therein,
or (iii) there are any contracts or documents of a character required to be
described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not described or referred to
therein or so filed; provided that in making the foregoing statements (which
shall not constitute an opinion), we are not expressing any views as to the
financial statements and

Ladies and Gentlemen:


                 I have acted as corporate counsel to LCC International, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company") in connection with the initial public
offering of 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Shares") of the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement dated September __, 1996 between the Company, Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation, Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated and
Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., as Representatives of the several Underwriters named
in Schedule I thereto (the "Underwriters"), and RF Investors, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company, as Selling Stockholder (the "Agreement"),
and an additional 750,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Additional Shares") issuable pursuant to an Underwriters' over-allotment
option granted under the Agreement.  This opinion letter is furnished to you
pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section 9.5 of the Agreement in
connection with the Closing thereunder on the date hereof.  The capitalized
terms used herein, which are defined in the Agreement, shall have the meanings
set forth in the Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.

                 For purposes of the opinions expressed in this letter, which
are set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) below (the "Opinions"), I have
examined copies of the following documents:

                 1.       Executed copy of the Agreement.

                 2.       The organization documents, which are listed on
                          Exhibit A hereto, of the Company and each of its
                          subsidiaries organized in the United States (each, a
                          "U.S. Subsidiary").

                 3.       The Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended by
                          Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 thereto (File No. 333-6067),
                          and all documents filed as exhibits thereto.

                 4.       The final Prospectus dated September __, 1996.

                 5.       Copies of all Material Permits (as defined below).

                 6.       Copies of all U.S. Leases (as defined below).

                 In my examination of the foregoing documents and agreements, I
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the accuracy, completeness and
authenticity of all documents submitted to or reviewed by me, the authenticity
of all original documents and the conformity to authentic original documents of
all documents submitted to or reviewed by me as copies (including telecopies).

                 As used in this opinion letter, the phrase "to my knowledge"
means my actual knowledge (that is, the conscious awareness of facts or other
information).

                 I am a member of the Bar of the State of [Virginia] and do not
purport to express any opinion concerning any matters governed by any law other
than the laws of the State of [Virginia].  I express no opinion as to any other
laws, statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations.

                 Based upon, subject to and limited by the foregoing, I am of
the opinion that:

                 (a)      Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
organized in the United States, which are listed on Exhibit B hereto (a "U.S.
Subsidiary"), is in violation of its respective charter, by-laws or other
organizational documents and, to my knowledge, neither the Company nor any U.S.
Subsidiary is in default in the performance of any obligation, agreement or
condition contained in any contract or agreement filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                 (b)      To my knowledge, there are no bonds, debentures,
notes or other evidences of indebtedness, or any agreements, indentures or
instruments, material to the conduct of the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to which the Company or any U.S. Subsidiary is
a party or by which the Company or any U.S. Subsidiary or its respective
property is bound that are not filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.

                 (c)      To my knowledge, neither the Company, any U.S.
Subsidiary, nor the Limited Liability Company has violated any Environmental
Laws, nor any federal or state law relating to discrimination in the hiring,
promotion or  pay of employees nor any applicable federal or state wages and
hours laws, nor any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, which in each case might
result in any material adverse change in the business, prospects, financial
condition or results of operation of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as
a whole.

                 (d)      The Company and each U.S. Subsidiary has such
permits, licenses, franchises and authorizations of governmental or regulatory
authorities, including, without limitation, under any applicable Environmental
Laws, as are necessary to own, lease and operate its respective properties and
to conduct its business in the manner described in the Prospectus ("Material
Permits"); to my knowledge, the Company and each U.S. Subsidiary has fulfilled
and performed all of its material obligations with respect to such Material
Permits and no event has occurred which allows, after notice or lapse of time
would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other material
impairment of the rights of the holder of any Material Permit, subject in each
case to such qualification as may be set forth in the Prospectus; and, except
as described in the Prospectus, Material Permits contain no restrictions that
are materially burdensome to the Company or any U.S. Subsidiary.

                 (e)      To my knowledge, all leases to which the Company or
any U.S. Subsidiary is a party ("U.S. Leases") are valid and binding and no
default has occurred, or is continuing thereunder, which might result in any
material adverse change in the business, prospects, financial condition or
results of operation of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and
the Company and its U.S. Subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession
under all such leases to

which any of them is a party as lessee with such exceptions as do not
materially interfere with the use made by the Company or any U.S. Subsidiary.

                 I assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the
foregoing subsequent to the delivery of this opinion letter.  This opinion
letter has been prepared solely for your use in connection with the Closing
under the Agreement on the date hereof, and should not be quoted in whole or in

                 (c)      VOTING RIGHTS.

         Each holder of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
shall be entitled to attend all special and annual meetings of the stockholders
of the Corporation.  On all matters upon which stockholders are entitled or
permitted to vote, every holder of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to
cast one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each outstanding share of Class A
Common Stock standing in such holder's name on the transfer books of the
Corporation, and every holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to cast
ten (10) votes in person or by proxy for each outstanding share of Class B

or by applicable law, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock shall vote together as a single class, subject to any voting
rights which may be granted to holders of Preferred Stock.

                 (d)      DIVIDENDS.

         Whenever there shall have been paid, or declared and set aside for
payment, to the holders of shares of any class of stock having preference over
the Common Stock as to the payment of dividends, the full amount of dividends
and of sinking fund or retirement payments, if any, to which such holders are
respectively entitled in preference to the Common Stock, then the holders of
record of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and any class or
series of stock entitled to participate therewith as to dividends, shall be
entitled to receive dividends, when, as, and if declared by the Board of
Directors, out of any assets legally available for the payment of dividends
thereon, provided that no dividend may be declared and paid to the holders of
the Class A Common Stock unless at the same time the Board of Directors shall
also declare and pay to the holders of the Class B Common Stock a per share
dividend equal to and, subject to the next sentence, in the same form as the
dividend declared and paid to the holders of the Class A Common Stock, and vice
versa.  Common Stock dividends declared on Class A Common Stock shall be
payable in Class A Common Stock; Common Stock dividends declared on Class B
Common Stock shall be payable in Class B Common Stock.

                 (e)      DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, WINDING UP.

Common Stock then outstanding, and all holders of any class or series of stock
entitled to participate therewith, in whole or in part, as to distribution of

                 (f)      CONVERSION OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK.

                 (1)      CONVERSION EVENTS.

                 (A)      Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock may,
at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, be converted into one fully
paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock.

                 (B)      Each share of outstanding Class B Common Stock which
is transferred to any holder other than an Eligible Class B Stock Holder shall
convert into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock
immediately upon such transfer.

                 (C)      If the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the
Eligible Class B Stock Holders in the aggregate constitute 10% or less of the
outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation, each share of Class B
Common Stock shall immediately convert into one fully paid and non-assessable
share of Class A Common Stock.

                 (D)      At such time as an Eligible Class B Stock Holder
ceases to be an Eligible Class B Stock Holder, each share of Class B Common
Stock held by such person or entity shall immediately convert into one fully
paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock.

                 (2)      AUTOMATIC CONVERSION PROCEDURE.

         In the event of any conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock
pursuant to Section 4.2 (f)(1), the holder of such shares of Class B Common
Stock shall promptly surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly
endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, at the
office of the Corporation, or of any transfer agent for such shares, and shall
give written notice to the Corporation (the "Notice"), at such office: (1)
stating that shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of
Class A Common Stock as provided in this Section 4.2(f); (2) specifying the
subdivision of (f)(1) pursuant to which the conversion occurred; (3)
identifying the number of shares of Class B Common Stock being converted; and
(4) setting out the name or names (with addresses) and denominations in which
the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be
issued, with instructions for delivery thereof.  Delivery of such notice
together with the certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock
shall obligate the Corporation to issue such shares of Class A Common Stock.
Thereupon the Corporation or its agent shall promptly issue and deliver to such





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6
holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares to which such
holder is entitled, registered in the name of such holder or designee as
specified in the Notice.  The Corporation shall take any and all steps
necessary to effect a conversion pursuant to Section 4.2 (f)(1),
notwithstanding any failure by the holder to deliver to the Corporation the
Notice or the certificates representing the shares subject to such conversion.

                 (3)      EFFECT OF AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.

         To the extent permitted by law, conversion shall be deemed to have
been effected as of the date on which conversion was first permitted under
Section 4.2 (f)(1) (such date being the "Conversion Time").  The person
entitled to receive shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder of such class of shares at and as of the
Conversion Time, and the right of such person as a holder of the shares held
prior to such conversion shall cease and terminate at and as of the Conversion
Time, in each case notwithstanding any failure by the holder to deliver to the
Corporation the Notice or the certificates representing the shares subject to
conversion, or the Corporation's failure to issue to the holder certificates
representing the shares to be held after the conversion has been effected.

                 (4)      RESERVATION.

         The Corporation hereby reserves and shall at all times reserve and
keep available, out of its authorized and unissued shares of capital stock, for
the purposes of effecting conversions, such number of duly authorized shares of
capital stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of the Class B Common Stock contemplated herein.  All such shares so issuable
shall, when so issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, and free from liens and charges with respect to the issue.  The
Corporation will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all
such shares may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of any national securities exchange or The
Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market upon which such shares may be listed or
traded.

                 (g)      SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATIONS OF SHARES.

         If the Corporation in any manner subdivides (by any stock split,
reclassification, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) or combines
the outstanding shares of one class of Common Stock at a time when shares of
the other class of Common Stock are outstanding, the outstanding shares of the
other class of Common Stock will be likewise subdivided or combined.

            2.4.   NOTICE OF MEETINGS.

             Notice of any meeting of stockholders, stating the place, date and
hour of the meeting and (to the extent required by law or these Bylaws) the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given to each
stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10 days nor more
than 60 days before the date of the meeting (except to the extent that such
notice is waived or is not required as provided in the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware General Corporation Law")).  Such
notice shall be given in accordance with, and shall be deemed effective as set
forth in, Section 222 (or any successor section) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

            2.5.  WAIVERS OF NOTICE.

             Whenever the giving of any notice is required by statute, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof, in writing and
delivered to the Corporation, signed by the person or persons entitled to said
notice, whether before or after the event as to which such notice is required,
shall be deemed equivalent to notice.  Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice (a) of such meeting, except when the
stockholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or
transacting business at the meeting, and (b) of consideration of a particular
matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in
the meeting notice, unless the stockholder objects to considering the matter
when that matter is first presented for consideration.

            2.6.   BUSINESS AT ANNUAL MEETING.

             At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall
be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.  To be
properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in
the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction
of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by
or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by a stockholder.

             For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a
stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing
to the Secretary.  To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be received at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation no later than the date
designated for receipt of stockholders' proposals in a prior public disclosure
made by the Corporation.  If there has been no such prior public disclosure,
then to be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and
received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 60
days nor more than 90 days prior to the annual meeting; provided, however, that
in the event that less than 70 days' notice of the date of the annual meeting
is given to stockholders or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting
is made, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later





                                     -2-
<PAGE>   3
than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such
notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure
was made.  A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each
matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief
description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and
the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name
and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the stockholder
proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the Corporation
which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (d) any material interest of
the stockholder in such business and (e) the same information required by
clauses (b), (c) and (d) above with respect to any other stockholder that, to
the knowledge of the stockholder proposing such business, supports such
proposal.  Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.6.  A Chairperson shall, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the annual meeting that a matter of business
was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 2.6, and if a Chairperson should so determine, a Chairperson
shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought
before the meeting shall not be transacted.

            2.7.   LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS.

             After the record date for a meeting of stockholders has been
fixed, at least 10 days before such meeting, the officer who has charge of the
stock ledger of the Corporation shall make a list of all stockholders entitled
to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address
of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each
stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for
any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a
period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, either at a place in the city
where the meeting is to be held, which place is to be specified in the notice
of the meeting, or at the place where the meeting is to be held.  Such list
also shall, for the duration of the meeting, be produced and kept open to the
examination of any stockholder who is present at the time and place of the
meeting.

            2.8.   QUORUM AT MEETINGS.

             Stockholders may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a
quorum exists with respect to that matter.  Except as otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation or by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
holders of shares of the stock outstanding and constituting a majority of the
votes entitled to vote at the meeting, and who are present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the
stockholders for the transaction of business.  Once a share is represented for
any purpose at a meeting (other than solely to object (a) to holding the
meeting or transacting business at the meeting or (b) to consideration of a
particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes
described in the meeting notice), it is deemed present for quorum purposes for
the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a
new record date is or





                                     -3-
<PAGE>   4
must be set for the adjourned meeting.  The holders of a majority of the voting
shares represented at a meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may
adjourn such meeting from time to time.  At such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which
might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.  If the
adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record
date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting
shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

            2.9.   VOTING AND PROXIES.

             Unless otherwise provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law
or in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the other provisions of
these Bylaws, each holder of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled, to one (1)
vote, each holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to ten (10) votes,
and all other stockholders shall be entitled to one vote on each matter, in
each of the foregoing cases in person or by proxy, for each share of the
Corporation's capital stock that has voting power and that is held by such
stockholder.  No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its
date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.  A duly executed
appointment of proxy shall be irrevocable if the appointment form states that
it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.

            2.10.     REQUIRED VOTE.

             If a quorum exists, action on a matter (other than the election of
directors) is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes
cast opposing the action, unless the Certificate of Incorporation or the
Delaware General Corporation Law requires a greater number of affirmative votes
(in which case such different requirement shall apply).  Directors shall be
elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the
election (provided a quorum exists), and the election of directors need not be
by written ballot.  The Board of Directors, in its discretion, may require that
any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

          2.11.    ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING.

             Any action required or permitted to be taken at a stockholders'
meeting may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by persons who
would be entitled to vote at a meeting and who hold shares having voting power
to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all stockholders entitled to
vote were present and voted.  The action must be evidenced by one or more
written consents describing the action taken, signed by the stockholders
entitled to take action without a meeting, and delivered to the Corporation for
inclusion in the minute book of the Corporation.  No consent shall be effective
to take the corporate action specified unless the number of consents required
to take such action are delivered to the Corporation within sixty days of the
delivery of





                                     -4-
<PAGE>   5
the earliest-dated consent.  All stockholders entitled to vote on the record
date of such written consent who do not participate in taking the action shall
be given written notice thereof in accordance with the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

3.          DIRECTORS.

            3.1.   POWERS.

             The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of the Board of Directors, which may exercise all such
powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things, subject to
any limitation set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or
agreements among stockholders which are otherwise lawful.

            3.2.   NUMBER AND ELECTION.

             The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of
Directors shall not be fewer than three nor more than 11.  Within the limits
above specified, the number of directors shall be determined by resolution of
the Board of Directors.  Directors shall be elected only by stockholders at
annual meetings of stockholders, other than the initial Board of Directors and
except as provided in Section 3.3 hereof in the case of vacancies and newly
created directorships.  Each director elected shall hold office until such
director's successor is elected and qualified or until such director's earlier
death, resignation or removal.  Directors need not be stockholders.  Except as
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, any director or the entire board of directors may be
removed, with or without cause, by holders of shares of the stock outstanding
and constituting a majority of the votes entitled to vote at an election of
directors.

            3.3.   VACANCIES.

             Vacancies resulting from death, resignation or removal and newly
created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of
directors shall be filled, for the unexpired term, by the concurring vote of a
majority of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum, and any
director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of directors and
until such director's successor shall have been elected and qualified or until
such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.

            3.4.   NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS.

             Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may
be made by the Board of Directors, or by any stockholder of the Corporation
entitled to vote for the election of directors at the annual meeting who
complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 3.4.  Nominations
by stockholders shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the
Secretary.  To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be received at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation no later than the date
designated for receipt of stockholders' proposals in a prior public disclosure
made by the





                                     -5-
<PAGE>   6
Corporation.  If there has been no such prior public disclosure, then to be
timely, a stockholder's nomination must be delivered to or mailed and received
at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 60 days nor
more than 90 days prior to the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that less than 70 days' notice of the date of the meeting is given to
stockholders or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is made,
notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the
close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the
date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.  Such
stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder
proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (i) the name,
age, business address and residence address of such person, (ii) the principal
occupation or employment of such person, (iii) the class and number of shares
of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person, and (iv) any
other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required,
in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (including without limitation such person's written consent to
being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if
elected); and (b) as to the stockholder giving notice (i) the name and address,
as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such
nomination, and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which
are beneficially owned by the stockholder.  No person shall be eligible for
election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Section 3.4.  A Chairperson shall, if the
facts warrant, determine and declare to the annual meeting that a nomination
was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4, and if a
Chairperson should so determine, a Chairperson shall so declare to the meeting
and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

            3.5.   MEETINGS.

                    (a)  REGULAR MEETINGS.

             Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without
notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined
by the Board of Directors.

                    (b)  SPECIAL MEETINGS.

             Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by a
Chairperson of the Board or President on one day's notice to each director,
either personally or by telephone, express delivery service (so that the
scheduled delivery date of the notice is at least one day in advance of the
meeting), telegram or facsimile transmission, and on five days' notice by mail
(effective upon deposit of such notice in the mail).  The notice need not
describe the purpose of a special meeting.

<PAGE>   7
                    (c)  TELEPHONE MEETINGS.

             Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of
the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all participating directors can
simultaneously hear each other during the meeting.  A director participating in
a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

                    (d)  ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.

             Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the
Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all
members of the Board.  The action must be evidenced by one or more written
consents describing the action taken, signed by each director, and delivered to
the Corporation for inclusion in the minute book of the Corporation.

                    (e)    WAIVER OF NOTICE OF MEETING; PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT.

             A director may waive any notice required by statute, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws before or after the date and time
stated in the notice.  Except as set forth below, the waiver must be in
writing, signed by the director entitled to the notice, and delivered to the
Corporation for inclusion in the minute book of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director's attendance at or participation in a
meeting waives any required notice to the director of the meeting unless the
director at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or
transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent
to action taken at the meeting.  A director who is present at a meeting is
presumed to have assented to any action taken unless such director enters a
dissent or abstention in the minutes of the meeting or files a written dissent
to such action no later than five days after such director receives a copy of
the minutes of the meeting, provided that the right to dissent shall not apply
to a director who votes in favor of such action.

                    (f)   QUORUM AND VOTE AT MEETINGS.

             At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a quorum of the Board
of Directors consists of a majority of the total number of directors prescribed
pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof (or, if no number is prescribed, the number in
office immediately before the meeting begins).  The vote of a majority of the
directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of
the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by
statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws.  In the
absence of a quorum for any meeting of the Board of Directors, a majority of
the directors present thereat may adjourn such meeting from time to time,
without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be
present.

            3.6.  COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS.

             The Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the
compensation of directors.  No such payment shall preclude any director from
serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation
therefor.

4.          COMMITTEES.

             The Board of Directors may by resolution create one or more
committees and appoint members of the Board of Directors to serve on the
committees at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.  To the extent specified
in a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, each committee may exercise
the full authority of the Board of Directors, except as limited by Section 141
(or any successor section) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  All
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and these Bylaws relating to
meetings, action without meetings, notice (and waiver thereof), and quorum and
voting requirements of the Board of Directors apply, as well, to such
committees and their members.

the event there be more than one Vice President, the Vice Presidents in the

            5.7.  ASSISTANT SECRETARY.

             The Assistant Secretary, or if there be more than one, the
Assistant Secretaries in the order determined by the Board of Directors (or if

            6.1.  CERTIFICATES OF STOCK; UNCERTIFICATED SHARES.

             The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by
certificates, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution
that some or all of any or all classes or series of the Corporation's stock
shall be uncertificated shares.  Any such resolution shall not apply to shares
represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the
Corporation.  Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the Board of
Directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates, and upon request
every holder of uncertificated shares, shall be entitled to have a certificate
(representing the number of shares registered in certificate form) signed in
the name of the Corporation by any Chairperson, the President or any Vice
President, and by the Treasurer, Secretary or any Assistant Treasurer or
Assistant Secretary.  Any or all the signatures on the certificate may be
facsimile.  In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar whose signature or
facsimile signature appears on a certificate shall have ceased to be such
officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may
be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such
officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
person claiming that the certificate of stock has been lost, stolen or
destroyed.  When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate, the Board of
Directors or any such officer may, as a condition precedent to the issuance
thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or
certificates, or such owner's legal representative, to advertise the same in
such manner as the Board of Directors or such officer shall require and/or to
give the Corporation a bond, in such sum as the Board of Directors or such
officer may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the
Corporation on account of the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed or on account of the issuance of such new certificate or
uncertificated shares.

            6.3.  RECORD DATE.

             In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders

other action), the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date
shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is
adopted by the Board of Directors and shall not be less than 10 nor more than
60 days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of stockholders.

to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the
meeting, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date.

             If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record
date shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on
which notice is given, or if notice is not required or is waived, at the close
of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held or
such other action is taken, except that (if no record date is established by
the Board of Directors) the record date for determining stockholders entitled
to consent to corporate action without a meeting is the first date on which a
stockholder delivers a signed written consent to the Corporation for inclusion
in the minute book of the Corporation.

            (b)  PAYMENTS.

             In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of
any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other
lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date
shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is
adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such
action.  If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining
stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day
on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

            (c)  STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD.

             The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right
of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive
dividends, to receive notifications, to vote as such owner, and to exercise all
the rights and powers of an owner.  The Corporation shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares

notice thereof, except as otherwise may be provided by the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,

during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the
Corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other corporate
books and records, and to make copies or extracts therefrom.  A proper purpose
shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a
stockholder.  In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the
person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be
accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the
attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder.  The demand
under oath shall be directed to the Corporation at its registered office or at
its principal place of business.

     2.1 BASE ANNUAL RENT.  Tenant shall pay the first monthly installment of
Base Annual Rent upon execution of this Lease.  Tenant shall pay the remaining
monthly installments of Base Annual Rent specified in section 1.3 in advance
without deduction or demand, on the first day of each and every calendar month
throughout the entire term of the Lease, as specified in section 1.2, to and at
the office of Landlord's Agent, Charles E. Smith Management, Inc., 1735
Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia  22202, or to such other person or
at such other place as Landlord may hereafter designate in writing.

     2.2 ADDITIONAL RENT.  For purposes of computing additional rent hereunder,
the Base Year as used in this Section 2 is stipulated in section 1.4.  If
dollar amounts for Base Year real estate taxes and operating expenses are
stipulated under section 1.4, such dollar amounts shall be used in calculating
additional rent for the purposes of this Lease and shall prevail regardless of
actual historical dollar amounts for the Base Year.  Commencing on the date
specified in section 1.5, and continuing throughout the term of this Lease,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent each of the following:

         (a) Real Estate Taxes.  Tenant's pro rate share, as indicated in 
Section 1.5(a), of any increase in real estate taxes during each fiscal year of
Landlord over the Base Year real estate taxes.  The term "real estate taxes"
shall mean all taxes, general and special, levied or assessed on the land and
the building improvements of which the demised premises is a part, and on any
land and/or improvements now or hereafter owned by Landlord that provide the
building on the demised premises with parking or other services.

         (b) Operating Expenses.  Tenant's pro rate share, as indicated in
section 1.5(b), of any increase in operating expenses, during each fiscal year
of Landlord over the Base Year operating expenses.

             (i) The term "operating expenses" shall mean any and all
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the servicing, operation,
maintenance and repair of the building and related interior and exterior
appurtenances of which the demised premises is a part, and the cost of any
services incurred in order to achieve a reduction of or to minimize the
increase in operating expenses, including without limitation, management fees,
capital expenditures for equipment or systems installed to reduce or minimize
increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures required by any
governmental ordinance, or depreciation or amortization based on the useful
life expectancy of such equipment or systems or expenditures, the cost of
contesting the validity or amount of real estate taxes, and periodic increases
in ground rent payments under any ground lease existing at the execution of
this Lease.  Certain of these expenses may be apportioned among two or more
buildings in the same complex or locality owned by Landlord and/or managed by
Landlord's Agent.

             (ii) Operating expenses shall not include any of the following,
except to the extent that such costs and expenses are included in operating
expenses as described in subsection 2.2(b)(i) above:  capital expenditures and
depreciation of the building; painting or decorating of Tenant space; interest
and amortization of mortgages; ground rent; compensation paid to officers or
executives of Landlord; taxes as measured by the net income of Landlord from
the operation of the building; increases in real estate taxes; and brokerage
commissions.

         (c) CPI.  A percentage of the Base Annual Rent equal to the percent
stipulated in section 1.5(c) of the percentage increase in the Index now known
as "United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers," all items for Washington, D.C. SMSA
(C.P.I.W.) (1967 = 100) (hereinafter referred to as the "Index"), between the
last published Index for each calendar year and the Index published for the
same period in the year stipulated in section 1.5(c) (hereinafter "base
period").  If such Index shall be discontinued or revised without substitution
of a comparable successor Index, the parties shall attempt to agree upon a
substitute formula.  If the parties are unable to agree upon a substitute
formula, then the matter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with
the rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing.  Any
substitute formula determined by arbitration shall include all of the same
items included in the Index effective at the execution of this Lease and shall
be so designated as to achieve a result as close as possible to the result that
would have been achieved if the discontinued Index were available.  Costs of
any such arbitration shall be shared equally by Tenant and Landlord.

         (d) Landlord shall have the right to change its fiscal year from time 
to time.  If Landlord changes its fiscal year during the term of this Lease,
thereby creating a fiscal year with fewer than twelve (12) months (hereinafter
"short year"), the real estate taxes and operating


                                     - 5 -



<PAGE>   14




expenses for the short year shall be determined on an annualized basis by
taking the monthly average on the actual real estate taxes and operating
expenses, respectively, and multiplying each by twelve.  The amounts determined
by this method shall be used in determining the increases described in
subsections 2.2(a) and (b) for the "short year."

     2.3 ADDITIONAL RENT ESTIMATES AND ADJUSTMENTS.

         (a) In order to provide for current monthly payments of additional 
rent, Landlord shall submit to Tenant prior to January 1st of each year a
statement of Landlord's estimate of the amount of the increases described in
section 2.2 above together with the amount of Tenant's additional rent which is
estimated to result from such increases.  Commencing on the date stipulated in
section 1.5, and continuing throughout the remaining term of this Lease, Tenant
shall pay each month one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's pro rata share of
Landlord's estimate of the increase in each year for (i) real estate taxes and
(ii) operating expenses, over such items for the Base Year.  In addition, Tenant
shall pay each month one-twelfth (1/12th) of Landlord's estimate of the annual
rent increase due to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index over
the Base Period.

         (b) If payment of additional rent begins on a date other than January 
1st under this Lease, in order to provide for current payments of additional
rent through December 31st of that partial calendar year, Landlord shall submit
to Tenant a statement of Landlord's estimate of Tenant's additional rent for
that partial year, stated in monthly increments, resulting from the increases
described in section 2.2 above.  Tenant shall make these payments of estimated
additional rent together with its installments of base monthly rent.

         (c) After the end of each calendar year, Landlord will as soon as
practicable submit to Tenant a statement of the actual increases incurred in
real estate taxes and operating expenses for the fiscal year ended during such
calendar year over such costs for the Base Year and the actual increase
attributable to the increase in the Consumer Price Index over the Base Period.
Such statement shall also indicate the amount of Tenant's excess payment or
underpayment based on Landlord's estimate.  If additional rent paid by Tenant
during the preceeding calendar year shall be in excess of, or less than, the
aggregate of its share of the actual increase incurred by Landlord for real
estate taxes and operating expenses, and the actual increase attributable to
the increase in the Consumer Price Index, Landlord and Tenant agree to make the
appropriate adjustment following the submission of Landlord's statement.
Tenant shall either pay an additional rent due with the installment of rent due
for the month following submission of Landlord's statement, or pay any
additional rent due within thirty (30) days if the Lease term has expired or is
otherwise terminated.  Tenant shall deduct its excess payment, if any, from the
installment of rent for such month, or following the final year of the Lease
term, Tenant shall be reimbursed for any excess payments made.

         (d) Within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's statement showing
actual figures for the year, Tenant shall have the right to request copies of
real estate bills and an unaudited statement of "operating expenses of the
building" prepared by Landlord's certified public accountant, which shall be
supplied to Tenant within a reasonable time after Tenant's written request.
Unless Tenant asserts specific error(s) within thirty (30) days after Landlord
has complied with Tenant's request, Tenant shall have no right to contest the
statement of actual figures for the year submitted by Landlord.  No such
request shall extend the time for payments as set forth in this section 2.3
above.  If Tenant has given proper notice, and if it shall be determined that
there is an error in Landlord's statement, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit
for any overpayment, which shall be applied to the next installment of rent or
refunded to a Tenant who has vacated the premises, or Tenant shall be billed
for any underpayment and shall remit any amount owing to Landlord within ten
(10) days of receipt of such statement.

         (e) In the event Tenant questions the validity of the statement of
operating expenses submitted by Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to
examine or have its accountant examine at the office of Landlord's accountant
the books and records from which such statement has been prepared.  No such
examination shall extend the time for payments due in accordance with this
section 2.3, however.  Tenant shall pay upon demand a reasonable sum to
reimburse Landlord for the costs of services of Landlord's accountant in
cooperating and assisting in the examination.  If any error amounting to more
than five (5) percent in the operating expenses statement is found, Landlord
shall bear its accountant's costs as aforesaid.

     2.4 RENT ADJUSTMENT LIMIT.  Notwithstanding any adjustments to rent as
provided for above, in no event shall the total rent to be paid by tenant in
any month during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof be less than
the base monthly rent stipulated in section 1.3.

     2.5 SURVIVAL OF RENT OBLIGATION.  The obligation of Tenant with  
respect to the payment of rent, or additional rent as defined in sections 2.2
and 2.10, accrued and unpaid during the term of this Lease, shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.


                                     - 6 -



<PAGE>   15




     2.6 PRO RATA SHARE.  Tenant's "pro rata share" stipulated in section
1.5(a) and (b) represents the ratio that the area of the demised premises bears
to the total rentable area of office space contained in the building.

     2.7 PRORATED RENT.  Any rent or additional rent payable for one or more
full calendar months in a partial calendar year at the beginning or end of the
Lease term shall be prorated based upon the number of months.  Any rent or
additional rent payable for a portion of a month shall be prorated based upon
the number of days in the applicable calendar month.

     2.8 APPLICATION OF RENT.  No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord 
of lesser amounts of rent or additional rent than those herein stipulated shall
be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest unpaid stipulated rent. 
No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check 
or payment as rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.
Any credit due to Tenant hereunder by reason of overpayment of additional rent
shall first be applied to any damages or rent owed to Landlord by Tenant if
Tenant shall be in default when said credit shall be owed.

     2.9 LATE PAYMENT FEE.  In the event any installment of rent or 
additional rent due hereunder is not paid within ten (10) calendar days after it
is due, then Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as additional rent a late payment
fee equal to five percent (5%) of such delinquent rent for each and every month
or part thereof that such rent remains unpaid.

     2.10 OTHER TENANT COSTS & EXPENSES.  All costs and expenses which 
Tenant assumes or agrees to pay to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, including
without limitation costs of construction and alterations, shall be deemed
additional rent, and in the event of nonpayment thereof, Landlord shall have all
the rights and remedies herein provided for in case of nonpayment of rent,
including assessment of late payment fees.

3.   CONSTRUCTION OF PREMISES AND OCCUPANCY

     3.1 TENANT PLANS, CONSTRUCTION AND RENT LIABILITY.  Tenant shall use 
its best efforts to deliver to Landlord for its approval, by the date specified
in section 1.7(a), preliminary plans approved in writing by Tenant showing its
partition, electrical, telephone and all other requirements set forth in Tenant
Plans Guidelines (which shall have been provided by Landlord to Tenant).
Tenant preliminary plans shall permit the preparation of working drawings and
cost estimate, and shall be certified by Tenant's architects or engineers to be
in compliance with applicable building and fire codes.  Landlord's approval of
Tenant plans or work does not constitute certification by Landlord that said
plans or work meet the applicable requirements of any building codes, laws, or
regulations, nor shall it impose any liability whatsoever upon Landlord.  If
Tenant's plans are not in compliance with applicable building and fire codes,
they shall not be deemed acceptable to Landlord.  If Tenant's plans are
acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall have working drawings prepared.  Nothing
contained in this section 3.1, nor any delay in completing the demised
premises, shall in any manner affect the commencement date of this Lease set
forth in section 1.2 or Tenant's liability for the payment of rent from such
commencement date, except as follows.  If Landlord requires longer than the
number of working days stipulated in section 1.7(b) to prepare working drawings
and prepare the cost estimate following receipt of Tenant's approved
preliminary drawings, or if Landlord requires longer than the number of working
days stipulated in section 1.7(c) to substantially complete construction
improvements in the demised premises, then the date for payment of rent
covenanted and reserved to be paid herein shall be put off by one day for each
extra day Landlord requires for the foregoing preparation of working drawings
and cost estimate and/or substantial completion of construction improvements.
For purposes of this section 3.1, substantial completion of construction
improvements shall mean when all work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to
the approved working drawings has been completed, except for minor items of
work and minor adjustments of equipment and fixtures that can be completed
after occupancy of the demised premises without causing undue interference with
Tenant's reasonable use of the demised premises (i.e., so-called "punch-list"
items).  In the event Tenant's plans specify any improvements that are not
building standard, however, the delivery and installation of which precludes
Landlord from completing the demised premises for Tenant's occupancy by the
commencement date hereof, or in the event any work to be performed by Tenant or
Tenant's contractors delays Tenant's occupancy by the commencement date hereof,
Tenant shall nevertheless remain liable for the payment of rent from such
commencement date.

     3.2 POSSESSION.  If Landlord shall be unable to tender possession of 
the demised premises on the date of the commencement of the term hereof, set
forth in section 1.2, by reason of: (a) the fact that the premises are located
in a building being constructed and which has not been sufficiently completed to
make the premises ready for occupancy; (b) the holding over or retention of
possession of any tenant or occupant; or (c) for any other reason beyond the
control of Landlord, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for the
failure to tender possession on said date. In the case of holding over, provided
Landlord shall promptly institute suit for recovery of the premises and
diligently pursue the same, Landlord shall have no responsibility for any delay
in tendering


                                     - 7 -



<PAGE>   16




possession of the demised premises.  Under such circumstances the rent
reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence until possession
of the demised premises is tendered to Tenant.  No such failure to give
possession on the date of commencement of the term shall in any other respect
affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder, nor
shall same be construed to extend the termination date of this Lease set forth
in section 1.2.  If permission is given to Tenant to enter into possession of
the demised premises prior to the date specified as the commencement of the
term of this Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that such occupancy shall be
deemed to be under all the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this
Lease, except that Tenant shall be responsible for payment of rent, in advance,
at the rate of 1/30th of the base monthly rent set forth in section 1.3 for
each day of such occupancy prior to the date for the commencement of the term
of this Lease.

     3.3 OCCUPANCY PERMITS.  Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining
occupancy permits and any other permits or licenses necessary for its lawful
occupancy of the demised premises.

4.   SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

     4.1 CONSENT.  Tenant will not sublet the demised premises or any part
thereof or transfer possession or occupancy thereof to any person, firm or
corporation, or transfer or assign this Lease, without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall be in Landlord's sole discretion to
give or withhold.  No subletting or assignment hereof shall be effected by
operation of law or in any other manner unless with prior written consent of
Landlord.  Tenant further agrees that any permitted subletting of the demised
premises shall be subject to the provisions of section 4.3.  No assignment
shall be made except for the entire premises demised by this Lease.  Tenant
further agrees that any permitted assignment of the Lease may be conditioned
upon payment of consideration to be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant.  Any
subletting or assignment consented to by Landlord shall be evidenced in writing
in a form acceptable to Landlord.  Consent by Landlord to any assignment or
subletting by Tenant shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for
obtaining Landlord's consent in writing to any subsequent assignment or
subletting; nor shall the collection or acceptance of rent from any such
assignee, subtenant or occupant constitute a waiver or release of Tenant of any
covenant or obligation contained in this Lease.  In the event that Tenant
defaults under this Lease in the payment of rent or additional rent, Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord the rent due from any subtenant of Tenant and hereby
authorizes each such subtenant to pay said rent directly to Landlord.

     4.2 RECAPTURE OF PREMISES.  In the event  Tenant desires to sublet the
demised premises or assign the Lease, Tenant shall give to Landlord written
notice of Tenant's intended subtenant or assignee in order to secure Landlord's
written consent in accordance with section 4.1.  Within ninety (90) days of
receipt of said notice, Landlord shall have the right: (i) to terminate this
Lease by giving Tenant not less than thirty (30) days' notice in the case of an
assignment of the entire Lease or a subletting of' more than fifty percent
(50%) of the demised premises; or (ii) to terminate this Lease and
simultaneously to enter into a new lease with Tenant for that portion of the
demised premises Tenant may desire to retain upon the same terms, covenants and
conditions of the existing lease as applicable to the space retained.  If
Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease, Tenant agrees that
Landlord shall have access to all or a portion of the demised premises sixty
(60) days prior to the effective termination date for remodeling or
redecorating purposes.

     4.3 EXCESS RENT.  In the event Landlord does not exercise its right to
terminate this Lease, and Landlord has granted its written consent, Tenant may
sublet all or a portion of the demised premises.  Any rent accruing to Tenant
as the result of such sublease, which is in excess of the pro rata share of
rent then being paid by Tenant for the portion of the demised premises being
sublet, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly as additional rent.

     4.4 TENANT LIABILITY.  In the event of any subletting of the demised
premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, with or without Landlord's
consent, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for payment of the rent
stipulated herein and all other covenants and conditions contained herein.

5.   SERVICES AND UTILITIES

     5.1 BUILDING STANDARD SERVICES AND UTILITIES.  Landlord shall furnish
sufficient electric current for lighting and office equipment such as
typewriters, calculators, small copiers and similar items, subject to the
limitations of section 5.3, water for lavatory and drinking purposes, lavatory
supplies, fluorescent tube replacements, automatically operated elevator
service and nightly cleaning service in accordance with Landlord's prevailing
practices, as they may be established from time to time, except that Landlord
shall not be responsible for cleaning Tenant kitchens or private bathrooms,
Tenant rugs, carpeting and drapes.  Landlord further agrees to furnish heating
and cooling during the appropriate seasons of the year, between the hours and
on the days set forth in section 1.8 (exclusive of legal public holidays as
defined in section 6103(a) and (c) of Title 5 of the United States Code, as it
may hereafter be amended, with holidays falling on Saturday observed on


                                     - 8 -



<PAGE>   17




the preceding Friday and holidays falling on Sunday observed on the following
Monday).  All of the aforesaid services shall be provided without cost to
Tenant except as such expenses may be included in calculating the additional
rent pursuant to the provisions of sections 2.2 and 2.3.  Landlord shall not be
liable for failure to furnish, or for suspension or delays in furnishing, any
of such services caused by breakdown, maintenance or repair work, strike, riot,
civil commotion, governmental regulations or any other cause or reason whatever
beyond the control of Landlord.  Suspension or interruption of services shall
not result in any abatement of rent, be deemed an eviction or relieve Tenant of
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

     5.2 OVERTIME SERVICES.  Should Tenant require heating and cooling 
services beyond the hours and/or days stipulated in section 1.8, upon receipt of
at least 72 hours prior written notice from Tenant, Landlord will furnish such
additional service at the then prevailing hourly rates, as established by
Landlord from time to time; provided, further, that there will be a minimum
charge of four (4) hours each time overtime services are required.

     5.3 EXCESSIVE ELECTRICAL USAGE.

         (a) Tenant will not install or operate in the demised premises 
any heavy duty electrical equipment or machinery without first obtaining prior
written consent of Landlord.  Landlord may, among other conditions, require as a
condition to its consent for the installation of such equipment or machinery,
payment by Tenant as additional rent for excess consumption of electricity that
may be occasioned by the operation of said equipment or machinery.  Landlord may
make periodic inspections of the demised premises at reasonable times to
determine that Tenant's electrically operated equipment and machinery complies
with the provisions of this section and section 5.4.

         (b) The total average consumption of electricity, including 
lighting, in excess of five (5) watts per square foot for the demised premises
shall be deemed excessive.  Additionally, any individual piece of electrically
operated machinery or equipment having a name plate rating in excess of two (2)
kilowatts shall also be deemed as requiring excess electric current.

         (c) Landlord may require that one or more separate meters be 
installed to record the consumption or use of electricity, or shall have the
right to cause a reputable independent electrical engineer to survey and
determine the quantity of electricity consumed by such excessive use.  The cost
of any such survey or meters and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof
shall be paid for by Tenant.  Tenant agrees to pay Landlord (or the utility
company, if direct service is provided by the utility company), promptly upon
demand therefor, for all such electric consumption and demand as shown by said
meters, or a flat monthly charge determined by the survey, as applicable, at the
rates charged for such service by the local public utility company.  If Tenant's
cost of electricity based on meter readings is to be paid to Landlord, Tenant
shall pay a service charge related thereto.

     5.4 EXCESSIVE HEAT GENERATION.  Landlord shall not be liable for 
its failure to maintain comfortable atmospheric conditions in all or any portion
of the demised premises due to heat generated by any equipment, machinery or
additional lighting installed by Tenant (with or without Landlord's consent)
that exceeds design capabilities for the building of which the demised premises
are a part.  If Tenant desires additional cooling to offset excessive heat
generated by such equipment or machinery, Tenant shall pay for auxiliary cooling
equipment, and its operating costs including without limitation electricity,
gas, oil and water, or for excess electrical consumption by the existing cooling
system, as appropriate.

     5.5 SECURITY.  Any security measures that Landlord may undertake 
are for protection of the building only and shall not be relied upon by Tenant 
to protect Tenant, Tenant's property, or employees, or their property.

6.   USE AND UPKEEP OF PREMISES

     6.1 USE.  Tenant shall use and occupy the demised premises for the
purposes specified in section 1.9 and only in accordance with applicable zoning
and other municipal regulations and for no other purpose whatsoever.

     6.2 ILLEGAL AND PROHIBITED USES.  Tenant will not use or permit the
demised premises or any part thereof to be used for any disorderly, unlawful or
extra hazardous purpose and will not manufacture any commodity therein.  Tenant
will not use or permit the demised premises to be used for any purposes that
interfere with the use and enjoyment by other tenants of the building nor
which, in Landlord's opinion, impair the reputation or character of the
building of which the demised premises form a part.  Tenant shall refrain from
and discontinue such use upon receipt of written notice from Landlord or no
later than three (3) days after mailing thereof.

     6.3 INSURANCE RATING.  Tenant will not do or permit anything to be 
done in the demised premises or the building of which they form a part or bring
or keep anything therein which shall in


                                     - 9 -



<PAGE>   18




any way increase the rate of fire or other insurance in said building, or on
the property kept therein, or obstruct, or interfere with the rights of other
tenants, or in any way injure or annoy them, or those having business with
them, or conflict with them, or conflict with the fire laws or regulations, or
with any insurance policy upon said building or any part thereof, or with any
statutes, rules or regulations enacted or established by the appropriate
governmental authority.

     6.4 ALTERATIONS.

         (a) Tenant will not make any alterations, installations, changes,
replacements, repairs, additions or improvements (structural or otherwise) in
or to the demised premises or any part thereof, without the prior written
consent of Landlord.  All Tenant plans and specifications shall be submitted to
Landlord for prior approval.  Landlord may, among other things, condition its
consent upon Tenant's agreement that any construction up-gradings required by
any governmental authority as a result of Tenant's work, either in the demised
premises or in any other part of the building, will be paid for by Tenant.
Tenant shall not install any equipment of any kind or nature whatsoever which
will or may necessitate any changes, replacements or additions to the water
system, plumbing system, heating system, air conditioning system or the
electrical system of the demised premises without the prior written consent of
the Landlord.  Tenant shall not install or use in the building any air
conditioning unit, engine, boiler, generator, machinery, heating unit, stove,
water cooler, ventilator, radiator or any other similar apparatus without the
prior written consent of Landlord, and then only as Landlord may direct.
Tenant shall not modify or interfere with the heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning supply, return or control systems without the prior written
consent of Landlord, and then only as Landlord may direct.  Landlord may
condition its consent upon Tenant's payment of all costs to make such changes,
replacements or modifications.  Landlord's consent to any work by Tenant or
approval of Tenant plans or specifications shall not be deemed a certification
that such work complies with applicable building codes, laws or regulations,
nor shall it impose any liability whatsoever upon Landlord.

         (b) All of Tenant's approved work shall be done in accordance with
Landlord's Supplemental Rules and Regulations for Contractors and shall be done
by duly licensed contractors in accordance with all applicable laws, codes,
ordinances, rules and regulations, and Tenant shall obtain at its cost any
required permits, licenses or inspections for performance of its work.  Tenant
must obtain an executed waiver of lien from each contractor or vendor that will
perform or furnish to Tenant work, labor, services or materials for any
alterations, installations, replacements, additions or improvements in or to
the demised premises, prior to the commencement of such work.  Notwithstanding
the aforesaid, if any mechanic's lien shall at any time, whether before, during
or after the Lease term, be filed against any part of the building by reason of
work, labor, services or materials performed for or furnished to Tenant, Tenant
shall forthwith cause the lien to be discharged of record or bonded off to the
satisfaction of Landlord.  If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be
discharged or bonded off within five (5) days after being noticed of the filing
thereof, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord
may discharge the lien by paying the amount claimed to be due.  The amount paid
by Landlord, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees
incurred by Landlord in procuring the discharge of the lien, shall be due and
payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent on the first day of the next
following month, or if the Lease term has expired, upon demand.

         (c) All alterations, installations, including without limitation wall 
to wall carpet and drapery and drapery accessories, changes, replacements,
repairs, additions, or improvements to or within the demised premises (whether
with or without Landlord's consent), shall at the election of Landlord remain
upon the demised premises and be surrendered with the demised premises at the
expiration of this Lease without disturbance, molestation or injury.  Should
Landlord elect that alterations, installations, changes, replacements, repairs,
additions to or improvements made by or for Tenant upon the demised premises be
removed upon termination of this Lease or upon termination of any renewal
period hereof, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall have the right to cause
same to be removed at Tenant's sole cost and expense.  Tenant hereby agrees to
reimburse Landlord for the cost of such removal together with the cost of
repairing any damage resulting therefrom, and the cost of restoring the
premises to its condition at the commencement of the term of this Lease as
initially improved by Landlord.  Approximately sixty (60) days prior to
Tenant's scheduled vacation of the demised premises, Landlord and Tenant shall
meet to decide what items shall be removed and what items shall remain.  At
such time Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount equal to the estimated
costs of removal and/or restoration of the demised premises, which work shall
be performed by or for Landlord at Tenant's expense.

         (d) In the event that either Landlord or Tenant, during the term hereby
demised, shall be required by the order or decree of any court, or any other
governmental authority, or by law, code or ordinance, to repair, alter, remove,
reconstruct, or improve any part of the demised premises or of the building of
which said premises are a part, then Tenant shall make or Tenant shall be
required to permit Landlord to perform such repairs, alterations, removals,
reconstructions, or improvements without effect whatsoever to the obligations
or covenants of Tenant herein contained, and Tenant hereby waives all claims
for damages or abatement of rent because of such repairing, alteration,
removal, reconstruction, or improvement.

     6.5 MAINTENANCE BY LANDLORD.  Landlord shall maintain all public or common
areas located in the building, including external and structural parts of the
building that do not comprise a part of the demised premises and are not leased
to others.  Such maintenance shall be provided without cost to Tenant except as
such expenses may be included in calculating the additional rent pursuant to
the provisions of sections 2.2 and 2.3.

     6.6 SIGNS & ADVERTISING.  No sign, advertisement or notice shall be
inscribed, painted or affixed on any part of the outside of the building, or
inside of the demised premises where it may be visible from the public areas of
the building, except on the directories and doors of offices, and then only in
such size, color and style as Landlord shall approve.  Landlord shall have the
right to prohibit any advertisement or publication of Tenant on- or
off-premises which in Landlord's opinion tends to impair the reputation or
character of the building, Landlord or its agent.  Tenant shall refrain from
and discontinue such advertisement or publication upon receipt of written
notice from Landlord or no later than three (3) days after mailing thereof.

     6.7 EXCESSIVE FLOOR LOAD.  Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the
weight and method of installation and position of safes, computer equipment, or
other heavy fixtures or equipment.  Tenant will not install in the demised
premises any fixtures, equipment or machinery that will place a load upon the
floor exceeding the designed floor load capacity of the building.  Landlord may
prescribe the placement and positioning of all such objects within the
building, and such objects shall be placed upon platforms, plates or footings
of such size as Landlord shall prescribe if necessary.  All damage done to the
building by installing or removing a safe or any other article of Tenant's
office equipment, or due to its being in the demised premises, shall be
repaired at the expense of Tenant.

     6.8 MOVING & DELIVERIES.

         (a) Moving in or out of the building is prohibited on days and hours
specified in section 1.8.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with forty-eight (48)
hours advance written notice of any move and obtain Landlord's approval
therefor in order to facilitate scheduling use of freight elevators and loading
area.

         (b) No freight, furniture or other bulky matter of any description 
shall be received into the building or carried in the elevators, except as
authorized by Landlord.  All moving of furniture, material and equipment shall
be under the direct control and supervision of Landlord, who shall, however, not
be responsible for any damage to or charges for moving same.  Tenant shall
promptly remove from the public area adjacent to said building any of Tenant's
property delivered or deposited there.

         (c) Any and all damage or injury to the demised premises or the 
building caused by moving the property of Tenant into or out of the demised
premises shall be repaired at the sole cost of Tenant.  Deliveries from lobby
and freight areas requiring use of hand carts shall be restricted to freight
elevators.  All hand carts used in delivery, receipt or movement of freight,
supplies, furniture, or fixtures shall be equipped with rubber tires and side
guards.  Tenant shall cooperate in identifying delivery contractors and movers
causing damage to the building.

     6.9 RULES AND REGULATIONS.  Tenant shall, and shall insure that Tenant's
agents, employees, invitees and guests, faithfully keep, observe and perform
the Building Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit C, attached here to and
made a part hereof, and such other reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord
may make, which shall not substantially interfere with the intended use of the
demised premises, which in Landlord's judgment are needful for the general well
being, operation and maintenance of the demised premises and the building of
which they are a part, together with their appurtenances, unless waived in
writing by Landlord.  In addition to any other remedy provided for herein,
Landlord shall have the right to impose a fine of $200 per incident for
violations of Building Rules and Regulations.  Nothing contained in this Lease
shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce
such rules and regulations, or the terms, conditions or covenants contained in
any other lease, as against any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable
to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents,
business invitees, licensees, customers, clients, family members or guests.
Further, it shall be in Landlord's reasonable judgment to determine whether
Tenant is in compliance with the Rules and Regulations.

     6.10 TENANT MAINTENANCE & CONDITION OF PREMISES UPON SURRENDER.  Tenant
will keep the demised premises and the fixtures and equipment therein in good
order and condition, will suffer no waste or injury thereto, and will, at the
expiration or other termination of the term hereof, surrender and deliver up
the same in like good order and condition as the premises shall be at the
commencement of the term of this Lease, subject to the provisions of section
6.4(c), ordinary wear and tear excepted.

     6.11 TENANT EQUIPMENT.  Maintenance and repair of equipment such as
special light fixtures, kitchen fixtures, auxiliary heating, ventilation, or
air-conditioning equipment, private bathroom fixtures and any other type of
special equipment together with related plumbing or electrical services, or
Tenant rugs, carpeting and drapes within the demised premises, whether


                                     - 11 -



<PAGE>   20




installed by Tenant or by Landlord on behalf of Tenant, shall be the sole
responsibility of Tenant, and Landlord shall have no obligation in connection
therewith.  Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, in the event that repairs
required to be made by Tenant become immediately necessary to avoid possible

demised premises is provided during the hours when cleaning service is normally

         (b) Tenant at its cost shall maintain as named insured, during the 
term of this Lease, fire and extended coverage insurance on the demised premises
and its contents, including any leasehold improvements made by Tenant, in an
amount sufficient so that no co-insurance will be payable in case of loss.

building or Landlord's insurance agent the amount of public liability and
property damage insurance coverage at that time is not adequate.

insurance companies authorized to do business in the jurisdiction where the

9.   DAMAGE

all injury to the demised premises and other portions of the building of which
it is a part, caused by Tenant, its agents employees, invitees and visitors,
will be repaired by Landlord at the expense of Tenant,except as otherwise
provided in section 6.11, or repaired by Tenant with Landlord's approval in
accordance with Section 6.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such repairs
within ten (10) days of receipt of invoice from Landlord of the costs.  At its
election, Landlord may regard the same as additional rent,in which event the
cost shall become additional rent payable with the installment of rent next
becoming due after notice is received by Tenant from Landlord.  This provision
shall be construed as an additional remedy granted to Landlord and not in
limitation of any other rights and remedies which Landlord has or may have in
said circumstances.

     9.2 FIRE OR CASUALTY DAMAGE.  In the event of damage or destruction of the
demised premises by fire or any other casualty without the fault or neglect of
Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or visitors, this Lease shall not be
terminated, but structural damage to the premises including demising partitions
and doors shall be promptly and fully repaired and restored as the case may be
by Landlord at its own cost and expense.  Due allowance, however, shall be
given for reasonable time required for adjustment and settlement of insurance
claims, and for such other delays as may result from government restrictions
and controls on construction, if any, and for strikes, national emergencies and
other conditions beyond the control of Landlord.  Restoration by Landlord shall
not include replacement of furniture, equipment or other items that do not
become part of the building or any improvements to the demised premises in
excess of those provided for as building standard items as of the commencement
date of this Lease.  Tenant shall be responsible for the repair and restoration
of the demised premises and Tenant's property beyond Landlord's obligation at
no cost to Landlord, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6, for which
it shall maintain adequate insurance pursuant to section 8.4 herein.  In the
event of fire or casualty damage to the demised premises caused by the fault or
neglect of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or visitors, Landlord shall
restore structural damages as described herein at Tenant's cost and expense.
It is agreed that in any of the aforesaid events, this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect.

     9.3 UNTENANTABILITY.  If the condition referred to in section 9.2 is such
as to make the entire premises untenantable, then the rental which Tenant is
obligated to pay hereunder shall abate as of the date of the occurrence until
the premises have been fully and completely restored by Landlord.  Any unpaid
or prepaid rent for the month in which said condition occurs shall be prorated.
If the premises are partially damaged or destroyed, then during the period
that Tenant is deprived of the use of the damaged portion of said premises,
Tenant shall be required to pay rental covering only that part of the premises
that it is able to occupy, based on that portion of the total rent which the
amount of square foot area remaining that can be occupied bears to the total
square foot area of all the premises covered by this Lease.  In the event the
premises are substantially or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty so as
to be entirely untenantable, and it shall require more than ninety (90) days
from the date of said fire or other casualty for Landlord to complete
restoration of same, then Landlord, upon written notice to Tenant, may
terminate this Lease, in which case the rent shall be apportioned and paid to
the date of said fire or other casualty.  Due allowance, however, shall be
given for reasonable time required for adjustment and settlement of insurance
claims, and for such other delays as may result from government restrictions,
and controls on construction, if

                                     - 13 -



<PAGE>   22




any, and for strikes, national emergencies and other conditions beyond the
control of Landlord.  No compensation, or claim, or diminution of rent will be
allowed or paid by Landlord, by reason of inconvenience, annoyance, or injury
to business, arising from the necessity of repairing the demised premises or
any portion of the building of which they are a part.

10.  CONDEMNATION

     10.1 LANDLORD RIGHT TO AWARD.  Tenant agrees that if the whole or a
substantial part of the demised premises shall be taken or condemned for public
or quasi-public use or purpose by an competent authority, Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord and shall not have any claim or right to any portion of
the amount that may be awarded as damages or paid as a result of any such
condemnation.  All rights of Tenant to damages therefor, if any, are hereby
assigned by Tenant to Landlord.  Upon such condemnation or taking, the term of
this Lease shall cease and terminate from the date of such governmental taking
or condemnation, if a portion of the building or the demised premises is taken
or condemned, and the remainder in Landlord's opinion is not economically
usable, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the termination of this Lease effective
as of the date of such governmental taking or condemnation.  Tenant shall have
no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.
If less than a substantial part of the demised premises is taken or condemned
by any governmental authority for public or quasi-public use or purpose and the
remainder is usable by Tenant, the rent shall be equitably adjusted on the date
when title vests in such governmental authority and the Lease shall otherwise
continue in full force and effect.  For the purposes of this Section 10, a
substantial part of the demised premises shall be considered to have been taken
if more than fifty percent (50%) of the demised premises are unusable by Tenant

     10.2 TENANT RIGHT TO FILE CLAIM.  Nothing in section 10.1 shall preclude
Tenant from filing a separate claim against the condemning authority for the
undepreciated value of its leasehold improvements and relocation expenses,
provided that any award to Tenant will not result in a diminution of any award
to Landlord.

11.  BANKRUPTCY

     11.1 EVENTS OF BANKRUPTCY.  The following shall be Events of Bankruptcy
under this Lease:

          (a) Tenant's becoming insolvent, as that term is defined in Title 11

"Bankruptcy Code"), or under the insolvency laws of any State, District,
Commonwealth or Territory of the United States ("Insolvency Laws");

          (b) The appointment of a receiver or custodian for any or all of 
Tenant's property or assets, or the institution of a foreclosure action upon

Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws;

          (d) The filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant as the

          (e) Tenant's making or consenting to an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or a common law composition of creditors.

     11.2 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.

          (a) Termination of Lease.  Upon occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy,
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice
to Tenant; provided, however, that this section 11.2(a) shall have no effect
while a case in which Tenant is the subject debtor under the Bankruptcy Code is
pending, unless tenant or its Trustee is unable to comply with the provisions
of section 11.2(d) and (e) below.  At all other times this Lease shall
automatically cease and terminate, and Tenant shall be immediately obligated to
quit the premises upon the giving of notice pursuant to this section 11.2(a).
Any other notice to quit, or notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter is
hereby expressly waived.  If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease,
everything contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord to be done and
performed shall cease without prejudice, subject, however, to the rights of
Landlord to recover from Tenant all rent and any other sums accrued up to the
time of termination or recovery of possession by Landlord, whichever is later,
and any other monetary damages or loss of reserved rent sustained by Landlord.

          (b) Suit for Possession.  Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to
section 11.2(a), Landlord may proceed to recover possession under and by virtue
of the provisions of the laws


                                     - 14 -



<PAGE>   23




of any applicable jurisdiction, or by such other proceedings, including reentry
and possession, as may be applicable.

          (c) Non-Exclusive Remedies.  Without regard to any action by 
Landlord as authorized by section 11.2(a) and (b) above, Landlord may at its
discretion exercise all the additional provisions set forth below in Section 12.

          (d) Assumption or Assignment by Trustee.  In the event Tenant 
becomes the subject debtor in a case pending under the Bankruptcy Code,
Landlord's right to terminate this Lease pursuant to section 11.2(a) shall be
subject to the rights of the Trustee in Bankruptcy to assume or assign this
Lease.  The Trustee shall not have the right to assume or assign this Lease
under the Trustee (i) promptly cures all defaults under this Lease, (ii)
promptly compensates Landlord for monetary damages, incurred as a result of such
default, and (iii) provides adequate assurance of future performance on the part
of Tenant as debtor in possession or on the part of the assignee Tenant.

          (e) Adequate Assurance of Future Performance.  Landlord and Tenant 
hereby agree in advance that adequate assurance of future performance, as used
in section 11.2(d) above, shall mean that all of the following minimum criteria
must be met:  (i) Tenant's gross receipts in the ordinary course of business
during the thirty-day period immediately preceding the initiation of the case
under the Bankruptcy Code must be at least two times greater than the next
payment of rent due under this Lease; (ii) Both the average and median of
Tenant's gross receipts in the ordinary course of business during the six-month
period immediately preceding the initiation of the case under the Bankruptcy
Code must be at least two times greater than the next payment of rent due under
this Lease; (iii) Tenant must pay its estimated pro rata share of the costs of
all services provided by Landlord (whether directly or through agents or
contractors and whether or not previously included as part of the base rent), in
advance of the performance or provision of such services; (iv) The Trustee must
agree that Tenant's business shall be conducted in a first class manner, and
that no liquidating sales, auctions, or other non-first class business
operations shall be conducted on the premises; (v) The Trustee must agree that
the use of the premises as stated in this Lease will remain unchanged and that
no prohibited use shall be permitted; and (vi) The Trustee must agree that the
assumption or assignment of this Lease will not violate or affect the rights of
other tenants in the building.

          (f) Failure to Provide Adequate Assurance.  In the event Tenant is 
unable to (i) cure its defaults, (ii) reimburse the Landlord for its monetary
damages, (iii) pay the rent due under this Lease, and all other payments
required of Tenant under this Lease on time (or within five (5) days), or (iv)
meet the criteria and obligations imposed by section 11.2(e) above, Tenant
agrees in advance that it has not met its burden to provide adequate assurance
of future performance, and this Lease may be terminated by Landlord in
accordance with section 11.2(a) above.

12.  DEFAULTS & REMEDIES

     12.1 DEFAULT.  It is agreed that Tenant shall be in default if:  Tenant
shall fail to pay the rent, or any installments thereof as aforesaid, at the
time the same shall become due and payable and/or any additional rent as herein
provided although no demand shall have been made for the same; or Tenant shall
violate or fail or neglect to keep and perform any of the covenants, conditions
and agreements, or rules and regulations herein contained on the part of Tenant
to be kept and performed.

     12.2 REMEDIES.  In each and every such event set forth in section 12.1
above, from thenceforth and at all times thereafter, at the option of Landlord,
Tenant's right of possession shall thereupon cease and terminate, and Landlord
shall be entitled to the possession of the demised premises and to re-enter the
same without demand of rent or demand of possession of said premises and may
forthwith proceed to recover possession of the demised premises by process of
law, any notice to quit being hereby expressly waived by Tenant.  In the event
of such re-entry by process of law or otherwise, Tenant nevertheless agrees to
remain answerable for any and all damage, deficiency or loss of rent which
Landlord may sustain by such re-entry, including reasonable attorney's fees and
court costs.  If, under the provisions hereof, seven (7) days summons or other
applicable summary process shall be served, and a compromise or settlement
therefor shall be made, such action shall not be constituted as a waiver of any
breach of any covenant, condition or agreement herein contained.  No waiver of
any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement, herein contained, on one or
more occasions shall operate as a waiver of the covenant, condition or
agreement itself, or of any subsequent breach thereof.  No provision of this
Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver shall
be in writing signed by Landlord.

     12.3 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO RELET.  Should this Lease be terminated before
the expiration of the term of this Lease by reason of Tenant's default as
provided in Sections 11 or 12, or if Tenant shall abandon or vacate the
premises before the expiration or termination of the term of this Lease, the
demised premises may be relet by Landlord for such rent and upon such terms as
are reasonable under the circumstances.  If the full rent reserved under this
Lease (and any of the costs, expenses or


                                     - 15 -



<PAGE>   24




damages indicated below) shall not be realized by Landlord, Tenant shall be
liable for all damages sustained by Landlord, including, without limitation,
deficiency in rent, reasonable attorneys' fees, other collection costs,
brokerage fees, and expenses of placing the premises in first-class rentable
condition.  Landlord, in putting the premises in good order or preparing the
same for rerental may, at Landlord's option make such alterations, repairs, or
replacements in the premises as Landlord, in Landlord's sole judgment,
considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the premises,
and the making of such alterations, repairs, or replacements shall not operate
or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid.
Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet
the premises, or in the event that the premises are relet, for failure to
collect the rent thereof under such reletting.  In no event shall Tenant be
entitled to receive any excess, if any, of such net rent collected over the
sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.

     12.4 RECOVERY OF DAMAGES.  Any damage or loss of rent sustained by
Landlord may be recovered by Landlord, at Landlord's option, at the time of the
reletting, or in separate actions, from time to time, as said damage shall have
been ascertained by successive relettings, or, at Landlord's option, may be
deferred until the expiration of the term of this Lease (in which event Tenant
hereby agrees that the cause of action shall not be deemed to have accrued
until the date of expiration of said term).  The provisions contained in this
paragraph shall be in addition to and shall not prevent the enforcement of any
claim Landlord may have against Tenant for anticipatory breach of the unexpired
term of this Lease.  All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall
be cumulative and shall not be exclusive of any other rights and remedies
provided to Landlord under applicable law.  In the event Tenant becomes the
subject debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of this
section 12.4 may be limited by the limitations of damage provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code.

     12.5 WAIVER.  If under the provisions hereof Landlord shall institute
proceedings and a compromise or settlement thereof shall be made, the same
shall not constitute a waiver of any covenant, rule or regulation herein
contained nor of any of Landlord's rights hereunder.  No waiver by Landlord of
any breach of any covenant, condition, agreement, rule or regulation herein
contained shall operate as a waiver of such covenant, condition, agreement,
rule or regulation itself, or of any subsequent breach thereof.

     12.6 ANTICIPATORY REPUDIATION.  If, prior to the commencement of the term
of this Lease, Tenant notifies Landlord of or otherwise unequivocally
demonstrates an intention to repudiate this Lease, Landlord may, at its option,
consider such anticipatory repudiation a breach of this Lease.  In addition to
any other remedies available to it hereunder or at law or in equity, Landlord
may retain all rent paid upon execution of the Lease and the security deposit,
if any, to be applied to damages of Landlord incurred as a result of such
repudiation, including without limitation attorneys' fees, brokerage fees,
costs of reletting, loss of rent, etc.  It is agreed between the parties that
for the purpose of calculating Landlord's damages, in a building which has
other available space at the time of Tenant's breach, the premises covered by
this Lease shall be deemed the last space rented, even though the premises may
be rerented prior to such other vacant space.  Tenant shall pay in full for all
tenant improvements constructed or installed within the demised premises to the
date of the breach, and for materials ordered at its request for the demised
premises.

     12.7 TENANT ABANDONMENT OF PREMISES.

          (a) Abandonment.  If the demised premises shall be deserted or 
vacated by Tenant for thirty (30) consecutive days or more without notice to
Landlord, and Tenant shall have failed to make the current rental payment, the
premises may be deemed abandoned.  Landlord may consider Tenant in default under
this Lease and may pursue all remedies available to it under this Lease or at
law.

          (b) Landlord Right to Enter and to Relet.  If Tenant vacates or 
abandons the premises as defined above, Landlord may, at its option, enter into
the premises without being liable for any prosecution therefor or for damages by
reason thereof.  In addition to any other remedy, Landlord, as agent of Tenant,
may relet the whole or any part of the premises for the whole or any part of the
then unexpired lease term.  For the purposes of such reletting, Landlord may
make any alterations or modifications of the premises considered desirable in
its sole judgment.

          (c) Rights to Dispose of Tenant Property.  If Tenant vacates or 
abandons the premises as defined above, any property that Tenant leaves on the
premises shall be deemed to have been abandoned and may either be retained by
Landlord as the property of Landlord or may be disposed of at public or private
sale in accordance with applicable law as Landlord sees fit.  The proceeds of
any public or private sale of Tenant's property, or the then current fair market
value of any property retained by Landlord, shall be applied by Landlord against
(i) the expense of Landlord for removal, storage or sale of the property; (ii)
the arrears of rent or future rent payable under this Lease; and (iii) any other
damages to which Landlord may be entitled hereunder.

          (d) Transfer of Tenant Property to Creditors.  If Tenant vacates or
abandons the premises, as defined above, Landlord may upon presentation of
evidence of a claim valid upon its


                                     - 16 -



<PAGE>   25




face of ownership or of a security interest in any of Tenant's property
abandoned in the premises, turn over such property to the claimant with no
liability to Tenant.

13.  SUBORDINATION

     13.1 SUBORDINATION.  This Lease is subject and subordinate to the lien of
all ground or underlying leases and to all mortgages and/or deeds of trust
which may now or hereafter affect such leases or the real property of which the
demised premises form a part and to all renewals modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof.  This clause shall be self-operative and
no further instrument of subordination shall be required by any mortgagee or
trustee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in confirmation of such subordination,
Tenant shall at Landlord's request promptly execute any requisite or
appropriate certificate, subordination agreement or other document.

     13.2 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.  Tenant shall execute and return within ten
(10) working days any certificate that Landlord may request from time to time,
stating that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or in full
force and effect as modified, and stating the modification.  The certificate
also shall state the amount of base monthly rent and the dates to which the
rent has been paid in advance, and the amount of any security deposit or
prepaid rent; that there is no present default on the part of Landlord, or
attach a memorandum stating any such instance of default; that Tenant has no
right to setoff and no defense or counterclaim against enforcement of its
obligations under the Lease; and that Tenant has no other notice of any sale,
transfer or assignment of this Lease or of the rentals.  Failure to deliver the
certificate within the ten (10) working days shall be conclusive upon Tenant
for the benefit of Landlord and any successor to Landlord that this Lease is in
full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented by
the party requesting the certificate.  If Tenant fails to deliver the
certificate within the ten (10) working days, Tenant by such failure
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as its special attorney-in-fact
to execute and deliver the certificate to any third party.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the party secured by any mortgage or deed of trust shall have the
right to recognize this Lease, and in the event of any foreclosure sale under
such mortgage or deed of trust, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect at the option of the party secured by such mortgage or deed of trust or
the purchaser under any such foreclosure sale.  Tenant covenants and agrees
that it will, at the written request of the party secured by any such mortgage
or deed of trust, execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that has for
its purpose and effect the subordination of said mortgage or deed of trust to
the lien of this Lease.  At the option of any landlord under any ground or
underlying lease to which the lease is now or may hereafter become subject or
subordinate, Tenant agrees that neither the cancellation nor termination of
such ground or underlying lease shall, by operation of law or otherwise, result
in cancellation or termination of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant
hereunder.

     13.3 ATTORNMENT.  Tenant convenants and agrees to attorn to any successor
to Landlord's interest in any ground or underlying lease, and in that event,
this Lease shall continue as a direct lease between Tenant herein and such
landlord or its successor.  In any case, such landlord or successor under such
ground or underlying lease shall not be bound by any prepayment on the part of
Tenant of any rent for more than one month in advance, so that rent shall be
payable under this Lease in accordance with its terms, from the date of the
termination of the ground or underlying lease, as if such prepayment had not
been made.  Neither shall such landlord or successor under such ground or
underlying lease be bound by this Lease or any amendment or modification of
this Lease unless, prior to the termination of such ground or underlying lease,
a copy of this Lease or amendment or modification thereof, as the case may be,
shall have been delivered to such landlord or successor.

14.  TENANT HOLDOVER

     14.1 WITH LANDLORD CONSENT.  If Tenant continues, with the knowledge and
written consent of Landlord obtained at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the term of this Lease, to remain in the premises after the
expiration of the term of this Lease, then and in that event.  Tenant shall, by
virtue of this holdover agreement, become a tenant by the month at the rent
stipulated by Landlord in said holdover agreement, commencing said monthly
tenancy with the first day next after the end of the term above demised.
Tenant shall give to Landlord at least thirty (30) days' written notice of any
intention to quit said premises.  Tenant shall be entitled to thirty (30) days'
written notice to quit said premises, except in the event of nonpayment of rent
in advance or of the breach of any other covenant by Tenant, in which event
Tenant shall not be entitled to any notice to quit, the usual thirty (30) days'
notice to quit being hereby expressly waived.

     14.2 WITHOUT LANDLORD CONSENT.  In the event that Tenant, without the
consent of Landlord, shall hold over the expiration of the term hereby created,
then Tenant hereby waives all notice to quit and agrees to pay to Landlord for
the period that Tenant is in possession after the expiration of this Lease, a
monthly rent which is three times the total rent (base monthly rent, as
stipulated in section 1.3 plus additional rent as stipulated in section 1.5)
applicable to the last month of this Lease.  Tenant expressly agrees to hold
Landlord harmless from all loss and damages, direct


                                     - 17 -



<PAGE>   26




and consequential, which Landlord may suffer in defense of claims by other
parties against Landlord arising out of the holding over by Tenant, including
without limitation attorneys' fees which may be incurred by Landlord in defense
of such claims.  Acceptance of rent by Landlord subsequent to the expiration of
the term of this Lease shall not constitute consent to any holding over.
Landlord shall have the right to apply all payments received after the
expiration date of this Lease or any renewal thereof toward payment for use and
occupancy of the premises subsequent to the expiration of the term and toward
any other sums owed by Tenant to Landlord.  Landlord, at its option, may
forthwith re-enter and take possession of said premises without process, or by
any legal process in force.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's holdover
without Landlord consent due to acts of God, riot,  or war shall be at the
total rent applicable to the last month of the term for the duration of the
condition (but not to exceed ten days), but such continued occupancy shall not
create any renewal of the term of this Lease or a tenancy from year-to-year,
and Tenant shall be liable for any loss and damages suffered by Landlord as
described above.

15.  SECURITY DEPOSIT

     15.1 Tenant shall deposit with Landlord simultaneously with the execution
of this Lease, the amount stipulated in section 1.6 as a security deposit.
Provided Tenant is not in default in the payment of rent or any other charges
due Landlord, and further provided the demised premises are left in good
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, as described in section 6.10,
said deposit (which shall not bear interest to Tenant) shall be returned to
Tenant within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Lease.  If Tenant
is in default or if the premises are not left in good condition, then the
security deposit shall be applied to the extent available on account of sums
due Landlord or the cost of repairing damages to the demised premises.   In the
event of the sale or transfer of Landlord's interest in the building, Landlord
shall have the right to transfer the security deposit to such purchaser or
transferee, in which event Tenant shall look only to the new Landlord for the
return of the security deposit and Landlord shall thereupon be released from
all liability to Tenant for the return of such security deposit.

16.  QUIET ENJOYMENT

     16.1 So long as Tenant shall observe and perform the covenants and
agreements binding on it hereunder, Tenant shall at all times during the term
herein granted, peacefully and quietly have and enjoy possession of the
premises without any encumbrance or hindrance by, from or through Landlord,
except as provided for elsewhere under this Lease.  Nothing in this section
shall prevent Landlord from performing alterations or repairs on other portions
of the building not leased to Tenant, nor shall performance of such alterations
or repairs be construed as a breach of this convenant by Landlord.

17.  SUCCESSORS

     17.1 All rights, remedies and liabilities herein given to or imposed upon
either of the parties hereto, shall extend to their heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, and assigns.  This provision shall not be deemed to
grant Tenant any right to assign this Lease or to sublet the premises.

18.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

     18.1 Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the
other one or in respect of any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way
connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder,
Tenant's use or occupancy of the demised premises, and/or any claim of "injury
or damage."
     
19.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     19.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if
any provision of this Lease expressly or impliedly obligates Landlord not to
unreasonably withhold its consent or approval, an action for declaratory
judgment or specific performance will be Tenant's sole right and remedy in any
dispute as to whether Landlord has breached such obligation.

20.  PRONOUNS & DEFINITIONS

     20.1 Feminine or neuter pronouns shall be substituted for those of the
masculine form, and the plural shall be substituted for the singular number, in
any place or places herein in which


                                     - 18 -

25.  SEVERABILITY

     25.1 The unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any provision
herein shall not render any other provision herein unenforceable, invalid or

total of base annual rent stipulated in section 1.3 and additional rent
stipulated in section 1.5(c) [but excluding additional rent payable under

28.  LANDLORD'S IMPROVEMENTS

     28.1 Landlord agrees to build improvements in the demised premises
substantially in accordance with plans to be approved by Landlord and Tenant.
Items included in the Outline Specifications, attached hereto as Exhibit "B",
shall be at Landlord's expense, and Tenant shall pay for any items not included
in the Outline Specifications.  It is hereby understood that included in the
Outline Specifications, at Landlord's expense, are all items necessary to meet
Arlington County fire code regulations and building code regulations.  One-half
(1/2) of such costs shall be paid by Tenant simultaneously with Tenant's
approval of Landlord's working drawings and estimate of extra costs, and the
balance shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the demised premises are
substantially completed and ready for Tenant's occupancy.  Payments due in
accordance with this provision are specifically acknowledged to be deemed
additional rent pursuant to Section 2.10, and if payments due for such special
Tenant work are not paid in full within ten (10) calendar days after they are
due, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment fee provisions of Section 2.9,
as well as other rights and remedies provided in this Lease or by law in case
of nonpayment of rent, shall apply.  Landlord acknowledges that Tenant shall be
entitled to apply the Landlord's contribution, below provided in sections 28.5
and 29.1, for payment of all such amounts.

     28.2 Landlord's General Contractor will receive a Ten Percent (10%) Fee
for general conditions and overhead and a Five Percent (5%) Fee for profit for
any special improvements not indicated in the Outline Specifications.  There
shall be no other mark ups by Landlord or its General Contractor.  Landlord
agrees to competitively bid any non-building standard improvement in excess of
Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).

     28.3 Tenant, at its option, may use its own contractor of any cosmetic
improvements, including painting, carpeting, wall covering, millwork and
telephone/computer cabling or wiring installation.

     28.4 Landlord agrees, at its expense, to furnish and install new building
standard wall-to-wall carpeting, wall paper and card access readers in each
stairway on the Eight, Ninth and Tenth floors, as well as the Eleventh (11th)
floor if Tenant leases space there.

     28.5 In accordance with the Outline Specifications (attached hereto as
Exhibit "B") (unlimited quantities) including building standard carpet, credit
for building standard items will be given where Tenant elects to make
substitutions.  Further, Landlord will give Tenant an additional contribution
in the amount of $23.70 per linear foot for cubicle partitions and a $50.00
electrical outlet contribution for each cubicle installed by Tenant within the
demised premises using modular furniture units.  Tenant, at its option, may
apply any unused portion of the aforesaid amounts towards the cost of moving to
the demised premises (and expenses related thereto), the purchase of furniture,
a telephone system and/or a computer system for the demised premises and
towards the cost of plans in excess of the allowance described below or as
additional rent waiver following 22.4 months until such amounts are used.
Landlord will pay all Tenant approved receipts and invoices within thirty (30)
days after presentment and will pay interest at One and One-half Percent (1.5%)
per month on any balance outstanding after sixty (60) days.

     28.6 All "punch list" items of work shall be completed by Landlord within
thirty (30) days after the list is agreed upon.  Landlord and Tenant shall use
all reasonable efforts to agree upon such list within five (5) business days
from the Lease Commencement Date.  In the event Landlord shall fail to complete
the "punch list items work" within 45 days after the list is agreed upon, then
and in such event Tenant shall be entitled to receive, on a day for day basis,
Base Annual Rent abatement for each day beyond such 45th day until Landlord
shall have completed the punch list items of work.

     28.7 In section 3.1, in the last sentence, delete 'are not building
standard' and substitute "require long order times ('long-lead items')"; in the
last line, delete 'such commencement date' and substitute "the date this Lease
would have commenced but for the long-lead items or delays by Tenant's
contractors."; and at the end of paragraph, add:  "Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, Landlord shall notify Tenant of any long-lead items to enable
Tenant to change its plans to prevent construction delays."

     28.8 For purposes of sections 3.1, 3.2 and 28, so-called "long-lead items"
shall be limited to those items which are generally not available in the
metropolitan Washington, D.C. area.

     28.9 Landlord shall substantially complete the demised premises on a
Friday (projected to be November 30, 1990) and the Lease Commencement Date
shall be postponed to the next succeeding Monday.

29.  LANDLORD'S CONTRIBUTION

     29.1 In addition to Landlord's contribution described in section 28.5
above, Landlord agrees to contribute further the sum of Twenty-Three and 65/100
Dollars ($23.65) per square foot towards the cost of any special improvements
not listed in the Outline Specifications attached as


                                     - 20 -



<PAGE>   29




Exhibit "B" hereto, which amount Tenant shall receive in the form of a credit
toward such special improvement costs.  Tenant, at its option, may apply any
unused portion of the aforesaid amounts towards the cost of moving to the
demised premises (and expenses related thereto), the purchase of furniture, a
telephone system and/or a computer system for the demised premises and towards
the cost of plans in excess of the allowance described below or as additional
rent waiver following 22.4 months until such amounts are used.

     29.2 Landlord will pay all Tenant approved receipts and invoices within
thirty (30) days after presentment and will pay interest at One and One-half
Percent (1.5%) per month on any balance outstanding after sixty (60) days.

30.  SPACE PLANNING, ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING PLANS

     30.1 Any special design details will be at Tenant's sole cost; however,
Landlord will credit Tenant up to Fifty Cents ($0.50) per square foot towards
the cost of any non-building standard architectural/engineering plans.  It is
hereby understood that Tenant intends to use its own space planner to prepare
the initial space plans and architectural working drawings, in which event
Landlord will credit Tenant in the amount of One and 12/100 Dollars ($1.12) per
square foot which credit will be applied towards the cost of Tenant's special
improvements or towards paying Tenant's architect.  Landlord agrees, at its
expense, to prepare plumbing, mechanical and electrical working drawings with
the understanding that anything non-building standard will be at Tenant's
expense with a credit as described above.

     30.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, whichever party is
preparing, or causing preparation of, certain construction plans hereunder will
be responsible for the accuracy, completeness and correctness (including all
code compliance) of such plans.  Accordingly, Landlord will be responsible for
any mistakes on mechanical, electrical or plumbing plans which are furnished by
Landlord, and Tenant's architect will verify all field conditions which are
reflected in any plans Landlord provides to Tenant.  Landlord will pay all
Tenant approved receipts and invoices within thirty (30) days after presentment
and will pay interest at One and One-half Percent (1.5%) per month on any
balance outstanding after sixty (60) days.

31.  DELAYED OCCUPANCY

     31.1 Provided Tenant has not caused any delay in the Landlord's completing
Tenant improvements by December 1, 1990, substantially free of any punch list
items, and if Tenant holds over in its present space and incurs penalties for
such holdover, then Landlord agrees that it will reimburse Tenant within thirty
(30) days after presentment all unamortized holdover rent paid by Tenant for
periods elapsing after December 1, 1990, as extended by the number of days of
any Tenant Caused Delay.  For example, assuming Landlord does not complete the
Tenant improvements until December 15, 1990, and such failure is not caused by
any Tenant Delay, and further assuming that Tenant is required to pay holdover
rent for the entire month of December in the amount of $30,000, for purposes
hereof Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord an amount equal to
$15,484 (namely 16/31st of the December, 1990 holdover rent paid by Tenant).

     31.2 Provided that Tenant has not caused any delay in the plan design or
construction phases of the work described in section 3.1 and 3.2, and
notwithstanding anything contained in section 3.2 to the contrary, Tenant shall
have the right to cancel this Lease without penalty in the event Landlord fails
to deliver the demised premises ready for occupancy to Tenant by March 1, 1991,
by giving Landlord ten (10) days' prior written notice of such intent.  In the
event of such delay by Tenant, the aforesaid cancellation date shall be
extended by one (1) day for each day that Tenant has caused such delay.

     31.3 In section 3.2, in the tenth line, after 'hereunder' insert a period
and delete the rest of the sentence.

32.  MOVING EXPENSES

     32.1 Landlord agrees to contribute Two Dollars ($2.00) per square foot
towards moving expenses, and expenses related thereto, incurred by Tenant in
relocating to the demised premises.  Landlord will pay all Tenant approved
receipts and invoices within thirty (30) days after presentment and will pay
interest at One and One-half Percent (1.5%) per month on any balance
outstanding after sixty (60) days.

33.  PARKING

     33.1 Landlord shall cause its operator to provide for parking in the
garage of the building described in section 1.1 for up to Ninety-four (94)
automobiles, of which Fifteen (15) will be reserved


                                     - 21 -



<PAGE>   30




spaces, for Tenant or Tenant's employees at the prevailing monthly rate, which
rate shall not exceed Sixty-Five Dollars ($65.00) per month per automobile for
the first year of the Lease term.  Thereafter no annual increase will be more
than five percent (5%) above the rate prior to the increase with the
understanding no more than one increase will occur each year.

     33.2 In the event Tenant leases additional space in the building,
additional parking (none reserved) shall be provided at the same ratio as
indicated in section 33.1 at a rate equal to that which Tenant is already
paying in the garage of the building.

34.  OCCUPANCY PERMIT

     34.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in section 3.3, Landlord,
with Tenant's cooperation, will obtain the necessary occupancy permit at
Landlord's expense.

35.  ACCESS PRIOR TO LEASE COMMENCEMENT

     35.1 Landlord agrees to give thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Tenant of the date that Landlord anticipates the demised premises will be
substantially completed.  Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in
section 3.2, Tenant shall have the right to enter the demised premises any time
thereafter and prior to the Lease Commencement Date to install its own
improvements, furniture and equipment with the understanding that Tenant will
not conduct business in the demised premises during such period and that during
the last ten (10) days prior to substantial completion, the demised premises
will be substantially free of Landlord's contractors.  Tenant will not be
liable for the payment of rent during such period, but subject to all other
terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease.  Landlord shall be
entitled to suspend Tenant's rights to enter the demised premises hereunder if
such work by Tenant or Tenant's contractors adversely impedes with Landlord's
construction work.

36.  PAINTING

     36.1 Landlord agrees to repaint all presently painted wall and door
surfaces of the demised premises with two (2) coats of building standard paint
upon Tenant's request at the end of the fifth year of the term of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no obligation under this
section 36.1 to repaint the premises in the event Tenant shall have exercised
its termination rights under Section 38.1 below.

37.  SECURITY DEPOSIT

     37.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in section 15 of the Lease,
at Tenant's option, the amount stipulated in section 1.6 of the Lease as a
security deposit may be in the form of an irrevocable and unconditional Letter
of Credit from a local bank acceptable to Landlord.  If the Letter of Credit
expires prior to the expiration of the Lease term, Tenant shall replace the
Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration.  If Tenant
shall not, at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration, have delivered a
replacement Letter of Credit having a later expiration date, Landlord may
convert any Letter of Credit into a cash deposit in the full amount thereof.
If Tenant is not then in default and has not been in default at any time prior
thereto, then at the end of the fifth year of the term of this Lease, the
Letter of Credit shall be canceled.

38.  CANCELLATION OPTION

     38.1 Tenant shall have the right, upon written notice to Landlord on or
before December 1, 1995, to cancel this Lease on November 30, 1996, in which
event Tenant shall pay to Landlord liquidated damages in the sum of One Million
Seventy Thousand Seven Hundred Twelve and 50/100 Dollars ($1,070,712.50) thirty
(30) days prior to the effective cancellation date, in addition to any other
charges which may be due and payable under this Lease and further subject to
the provisions of section 2.5.

39.  RENEWAL OPTIONS

     39.1 (a) Provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder after expiration
of applicable cure periods and further provided that Tenant gives written
notice to Landlord at least one (1) year before the Lease expiration date,
Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for a further term
of Five (5) years from the Lease expiration date. Such extension shall be under
the same terms, covenants and conditions, except that sections 27, 28, 29, 30,
31, 32, 34 and 35 shall not be applicable and the Base Annual Rent shall be
Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of the then fair market value base annual rent plus
additional rent, which shall be subject to mutual agreement

                                     - 22 -



<PAGE>   31




between the parties.  This provision shall be contingent upon Tenant occupying
a substantial portion (51% or more) of the demised premises upon the
commencement date of the extended term.

         (b) If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon such new terms, covenants
and conditions including Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of the then fair market
value base annual rent plus additional rent for the extended term within sixty
(60) days after the last day for Tenant's notice under section 39.1(a) above,
each shall appoint, at its own expense, a member of the Washington D.C.
Association of Realtors who has ten years experience, is knowledgeable in
office rentals and is not directly affiliated simultaneously with either
Landlord or Tenant.  These appointees shall appoint a third person with the
same qualifications.  The cost of the third appointee shall be borne equally by
Landlord and Tenant.  Each appointee shall determine the then fair market value
rental rate for the space.  Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of the average of the
three figures arrived at by the appointees for the then fair market value
rental rate shall be used as the base annual rent.  The appointees shall also
agree upon a formula for calculating additional rent.  If they cannot agree on
a formula by the time the base annual rent is determined, the formula for
additional rent in the existing Lease shall be used with a new base period
index for subsection 1.5(c) which will be the last published index for 2001,
and a new base year for subsections 1.5(a) and 1.5(b) which will be 2001.

     39.2 (a) Provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder after expiration
of applicable cure periods, that Tenant exercised the renewal option specified
in Section 39.1, and further provided that Tenant gives written notice to
Landlord at least (l) year before the Lease expiration date, Tenant shall have
the right to extend the term of this Lease for a further term of Five (5) years
from expiration of the initial extended term.  Such extension shall be under
the same terms, covenants and conditions, except that sections 27, 28, 29, 30,
31, 32, 34 and 35 shall not be applicable and the Base Annual Rent shall be
Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of the then fair market value base annual rent plus
additional rent, which shall be subject to mutual agreement between the
parties.  This provision shall be contingent upon Tenant occupying a
substantial portion (51% or more) of the demised premises upon the commencement
date of the extended term.

         (b) If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon such new terms, covenants
and conditions including Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of the then fair market
value base annual rent plus additional rent for the extended term within sixty
(60) days after the last day for Tenant's notice under section 39.1(a) above,
each shall appoint, at its own expense, a member of the Washington D.C.
Association of Realtors who has ten years experience, is knowledgeable in
office rentals and is not directly affiliated simultaneously with either
Landlord or Tenant.  These appointees shall appoint a third person with the
same qualifications.  The cost of the third appointee shall be borne equally by
Landlord and Tenant.  Each appointee shall determine the then fair market value
rental rate for the space.  Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of the average of the
three figures arrived at by the appointees for the then fair market value
rental rate shall be used as the base annual rent.  The appointees shall also
agree upon a formula for calculating additional rent.  If they cannot agree on
a formula by the time the base annual rent is determined, the formula for
additional rent in the existing Lease shall be used with a new base period
index for subsection 1.5(c) which will be the last published index for 2006,
and a new base year for subsections 1.5(a) and 1.5(b) which will be 2006.

     39.3 In the event Tenant does not accept the decision of the arbitrators
as provided above, Tenant may elect, within ten (10) days thereafter, to
withdraw its exercise of the renewal option thereby negating the same.

40.  ADDITIONAL SPACE OPTIONS

     40.1 Landlord agrees not to lease approximately 7,070 square feet
contiguous to the demised premises on the Tenth (10th) floor until December 1,
1990.  Anytime until December 1, 1990, Tenant may lease a minimum of 4,000 sq.
ft. or up to 7070 sq. ft. of space under the same terms and conditions as those
for the initial demised premises with the understanding that the concessions
(rent waivers, credits and allowances) will be prorated based on the shorter
lease term than that for the initial demised premises, and the Lease will be
coterminous with the initial demised premises.

     40.2 Provided Tenant exercised its option to lease all or a portion of the
7,070 square feet of contiguous space on the Tenth floor as provided in section
40.1, that Tenant is not in default of any of the terms and conditions of this
Lease, after expiration of the applicable cure periods, and further provided

     40.8 If Tenant does not accept the arbitrators' decision, Tenant may
elect, within ten (10) days thereafter, to withdraw its exercise of the space
option thereby negating the same.

41.  RIGHTS OF FIRST OFFERING

any other space on the Seventh (7th), Tenth (10th) or Eleventh (11th) floors of
the building elect(s) to vacate such space or do(es) not enter into a new lease
agreement or exercise any extension or renewal rights under its/theirs existing
Lease(s), and any other tenants in the building who were granted rights to such
space before Tenant, whether by option, right of refusal, offering or
otherwise, do not exercise the same, and such space thereby becomes available,
Landlord shall first offer such space to Tenant in writing at Ninety-Five
Percent (95%) of the then fair market rental rate and upon such other
concessions, terms and conditions as are being given to any new tenant leasing
space in the building at that time or in comparable buildings in the
Rosslyn-Ballston corridor.  Tenant shall have ten (10) days in which to accept
Landlord's offer in writing.  If Tenant fails to accept Landlord's offer within
the time specified, due to disagreement over rent and/or concessions, then the
parties shall arbitrate as provided in section 41.3.  In the event Tenant
accepts Landlord's offer for such space within the time specified, the term
therefor shall begin from the date determined by the arbitrators, if necessary,
to be consistent with the fair market value for the space, regardless of any
time required by Tenant to construct, alter or redecorate the space to Tenant's
requirements.  Landlord makes no representation that carpeting or special
improvements that may have been in the space prior to when the present occupant
vacates the space will remain for Tenant's use.  This right of first offering
is contingent upon Tenant not being in default after expiration of applicable
cure periods of any of

or renewal rights under its/theirs existing Lease(s), and the other initial
tenants in the building who were granted, either before or after Tenant,
options or prior rights of offering on such space do not exercise the same, and
such space thereby becomes available, Landlord shall first offer such space to
Tenant in writing at Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of the then fair market rental
rate and upon such other terms and conditions as are being given to any new
tenant leasing space in the building at that time or in comparable buildings in
the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor.  Tenant shall have ten (10) days in which to
accept Landlord's offer in writing.  If Tenant fails to accept Landlord's offer
within the time specified, due to disagreement over rent and/or concessions,
then the parties shall arbitrate as provided in section 41.3.  In the event
Tenant accepts Landlord's offer for such space within the time specified, the
term therefor shall begin from the date determined by the arbitrators, if
necessary, to be consistent with the fair market value for the space,
regardless of any time required by Tenant to construct, alter or redecorate the
space to Tenant's requirements.  Landlord makes no representation that
carpeting or special improvements that may have been in the space prior to when
the present occupant vacates the space will remain for Tenant's use.  This
right of first offering is contingent upon Tenant not being in default after
expiration of applicable cure periods of any of the terms or conditions of this
Lease at the time of Landlord's offer, and further contingent upon Tenant being
in substantial (51% or more) occupancy of the demised premises at the time
Tenant exercises its Right of First Offering.

     41.3 If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon such new terms (including
the commencement date of the term), concessions, and conditions including

concessions for such additional space, each shall appoint, at its own expense,
a member of the Washington D.C.  Association of Realtors who is knowledgeable
in office rentals and has ten (10) years experience.  These appointees shall
appoint a third person with the same qualifications.  The cost of the third
appointee shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.  Each appointee shall
determine the then fair market value rental rate and concessions for the space.
Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of the average of the three figures arrived at by
the appointees for the then fair market value rental rate shall be used as the
base annual rent.  The appointees shall also agree upon a formula for
calculating additional rent.  If they cannot agree on a formula by the time the
base annual rent is determined, the formula for additional rent in the existing
Lease shall be used.

     41.4 If Tenant does not accept the arbitrators' decision, Tenant may
elect, within ten (10) days thereafter, to withdraw its exercise of the space
option thereby negating the same.

reasonable notice (except in emergencies)".

     72.3 Landlord's access to the demised premises shall be subject to

expressly without waiver of the restriction concerning further assignment, and

remain obligated under the original terms of the Lease.

6.       COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES.

         6.1     Non-solicitation.  During the term of this Agreement and for a
period of one (1) year following the expiration or Termination of this
Agreement, neither party nor any of their respective directors, officers,
agents, subsidiaries, successors or assigns shall, directly, indirectly or in
concert with any other person, solicit the services or employment of any
employee of the other party and/or, with respect to LCC, its Affiliates.  This
restriction shall not be deemed to prohibit general advertisements placed in
newspapers of general circulation.  If either party (and/or with respect to
LCC, its Affiliates) (the "Engaging Party") engages the employment of a person
who was employed by the other (the "Other Party") in rendering services on the
PBMS PCS Project prior to such engagement, then the Engaging Party shall pay a
finder's fee to the Other Party, in the amount of [                     
                            ].  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may
employ an employee of the other, to whom an offer of employment was outstanding
on the effective date of this Agreement without payment of any finder's fee.

         6.2     Minimum Commitment.  During the term of this Agreement, PBMS
agrees to engage LCC to provide, and LCC agrees to provide, engineering
services at no less than the minimum monthly level of services set forth in
Exhibit G-1 attached hereto, at the minimum staffing levels during the months
described therein.  If during any month, PBMS actually engages LCC to provide
engineering services at a level of services less than the applicable monthly
service level set forth in Exhibit G-1, PBMS shall pay to LCC an amount equal
to the difference between:  (i) the engineering services fees actually paid by
PBMS for the relevant month, and (ii) the engineering services fees PBMS should
have paid LCC at the relevant minimum monthly level of services.  All such
payments, if any, shall be made in the month the services would have been
billed by LCC.

         6.3     Adjustments to the Minimum Commitment.  The minimum monthly
level of services set forth in Exhibit G-1 attached hereto (and PBMS' minimum
commitment) shall be, at the option of PBMS, adjusted downward, on a
proportionate basis, only in the event (i) PBMS fails to acquire, by FCC
auction, one or more of the expected Licenses to implement and operate a
wireless personal communications system, or (ii) after obtaining one or more
Licenses, loses one or more of them.  The adjustment shall be calculated by
reducing the then-current minimum staffing level under Exhibit G-I to a level
which will enable PBMS to complete the project phases, based on the hours
described in Section 7 of the Statement of Work and the number of cell sites
remaining in those Markets for which PBMS has then obtained and not lost a
License.

         7.2     DISCLAIMER.  THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF, AND LCC
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMED TO ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANT ABILITY, IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, IMPLIED WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT AND IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING OUT
OF THE COURSE OF DEALING, CUSTOM OR USAGE OF TRADE.  LCC MAKES NO WARRANTY

PROFITS, BUSINESS, USE OR DATA OR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT,
WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS PROVISION IS TO
LIMIT THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS ARISING UNDER SECTIONS 8 OR 9 HEREOF IN NO EVENT
SHALL LCC's LIABILITY TO PBMS WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE EXCEED, IN
THE AGGREGATE, THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SERVICE FEES AND SOFTWARE LICENSE AND USAGE
FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY PBMS TO LCC DURING THE ONE MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE
ON WHICH SUCH CLAIM OR DISPUTE AROSE HEREUNDER PLUS ANY ATTORNEYS' FEES
PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.9 OF THIS AGREEMENT.

8.       NON-DISCLOSURE AND CONFIDENTIALITY.

         8.1     Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information.  In the event either
party hereto (the "Receiving Party") obtains from the other party hereto (the
"Disclosing Party") any information in whatever form which is confidential or
proprietary ("Proprietary Information") the Receiving Party: (i) shall treat
all such Proprietary Information as Confidential; (ii) shall use such
Proprietary Information only for the purposes contemplated in this Agreement;
(iii) shall protect such Proprietary Information, whether in storage or in use,
with the same degree of care as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own
proprietary information against public disclosure, but in no case with less
than reasonable care and (iv) shall not disclose such Proprietary Information
to any third party except to such employees of the Receiving Party who need to
know such Proprietary Information for the purpose of effectuating this
Agreement and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such
Proprietary Information.  LCC shall obtain and deliver to PBMS a signed
non-disclosure statement, in the form attached as Exhibit M, from each LCC
employee, agent or contractor assigned to Work on the PBMS PCS Project.

         8.2     Exclusions.  The provisions of this Section 8 shall not apply
to any Proprietary Information which: (i) was in the public domain on the date
hereof or comes into the public domain other than through the fault or
negligence of the Receiving Party; (ii) was lawfully obtained by the Receiving
Party from a third party without breach of this Agreement and otherwise not in
violation of the Disclosing Party's rights; (iii) was known to the Receiving
Party at the time of disclosure as shown by the Receiving Party's records in
existence at the time of disclosure; (iv) was independently developed by the
Receiving Party without making use of any Proprietary Information of the
Disclosing Party; or (v) is required to be disclosed pursuant to the order of
any court or governmental agency.

         8.3     Return.  Upon the expiration or Termination of this Agreement,
and in any event upon the Disclosing Party's request at any time, each party
shall (i) return to the other party, or destroy in a manner acceptable to the
other party, all documents (including any copies thereof) embodying the other
party's Proprietary Information and (ii) certify in writing to the other party,
within ten (10) days following the other party's request, that all such
Proprietary Information has been returned or destroyed.

         8.4     Injunctive Relief.  LCC and PBMS acknowledge that the extent
of damages in the event of the breach of any provision of Section 8.1 or 8.3
would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that there will be available
no adequate remedy at law in the event of any such breach.  Each party
therefore agrees that in the event it breaches any provision of Section 8.1 or
8.3, the other party will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief,
in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

         8.5     Publicity.  No party hereto shall make any disclosure to any
third party regarding the existence or terms of this Agreement without the
prior written consent of the other party hereto.

expiration or Termination of this Agreement.

         9.1     Infringement.  Subject to the exclusions stated in Section
7.3, LCC agrees to indemnify PBMS and its Affiliates and to hold PBMS and its
Affiliates harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by PBMS as a
result of any infringement or alleged infringement of any United States patent,
mask work or copyright of a third party in consequence of PBMS' use or
possession of the Software in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
PBMS agrees that LCC shall, at its option, be relieved of the foregoing
obligations unless: (i) PBMS notifies LCC promptly in writing of any alleged
infringement of which PBMS becomes aware; (ii) PBMS gives LCC sole authority to
control fully, at LCC's expense, the defense and/or settlement of any
infringement claim; and (iii) PBMS furnishes all reasonable assistance and
provides all appropriate documentation requested by LCC.  If LCC determines
that the Software or LCC's provision of the Services infringes, or is likely to
infringe, any United States patent, mask work, copyright trademark or other
proprietary right of any third party, then LCC shall have the option, within a
reasonable time, either to: (i) obtain, at LCC's expense, the right to continue
using the infringing item or (ii) replace or modify the infringing item so that
it becomes non-infringing, or (iii) in the event LCC determines neither of the
options set forth in (i) and (ii) above are commercially reasonable, terminate
the license granted with respect to the infringing product and reimburse PBMS
for any





                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>   26
software or other intellectual property license fees paid with respect to such
product during the period in which PBMS was prohibited from using the same as a
result of such infringement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, LCC shall have no
obligation to indemnify PBMS pursuant to this Section 9.1 with respect to any
infringement or alleged infringement resulting from any modification to the
Software made by PBMS or any third party or any unauthorized use of the
Software by PBMS or any third party.

         9.2     Damage to Persons and Property.  Subject to the exclusions
stated in Section 7.3, LCC agrees to indemnify PBMS and its Affiliates and hold
PBMS and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by
PBMS and resulting from any bodily injury to person(s) (including death) or
damage to property caused by LCC, its employees, agents or representatives. 
PBMS agrees that LCC shall, at its option, be relieved of the foregoing 
obligations unless:  (i) PBMS notifies LCC promptly in writing of any
claim under this Section 9.2; (ii) PBMS gives LCC sole authority to control
fully, at LCC's expense, the defense and/or settlement of any claim; and (iii)
PBMS furnishes all reasonable assistance and all appropriate documentation
requested by LCC.  The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent of any
claim and/or damage based on the negligence, errors, omissions or acts of PBMS,
its employees, agents or representatives, or any third party.

         12.1    Assignment Restrictions.  This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns.  Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, neither party
shall be entitled to assign or transfer any or all of its rights or obligations

Affiliate of the assigning and/or transferring party.

         12.2    Relationship.  The relationship between the parties to this

federal, state and local laws and regulations governing such matters.

         12.3    Force Majeure.  The obligations hereunder of each party shall

causing such suspension.

         12.4    Binding Effect; Amendment.  This Agreement (together with the
Exhibits thereto) constitutes the entire agreement between LCC and PBMS
regarding the subject matter hereof.  All prior or contemporaneous agreements,

executed by both LCC and PBMS.

         12.5    Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall finally be determined by a competent court or
tribunal to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision
shall be deemed severed from this Agreement, but the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall be enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and in
substitution for any provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, there
shall be substituted a provision of similar import reflecting the original
intent of the parties to the fullest extent permissible under law.

         12.7    Waiver.  No waiver by either party of a breach of any term,
provision or condition of this Agreement by the other party shall constitute a

         12.8    Headings.  The heading contained in this Agreement including,
but not limited to, article, section, subsection or paragraph headings used in
this Agreement are intended for reference purposes only and shall not affect in

regard to principles of conflicts of law.

         12.12   Administration of the Agreement.  PBMS' project Manager and

<PAGE>   29

the actual number of hours devoted by LCC to each project task against the
projected hours for each task (as described in Section 7 of the Statement of
Work), and (iii) the actual progress of the project in each Project Office
against the schedule projected in Exhibit N.  When 90% of the total estimated
project costs have been incurred, the Director, RF Engineering of PBMS and the
Director, Engineering, of LCC shall meet and review the percentage of the
project completed as of such time and, in the event that the percent of the
project competed is determined to then be 85% or less, the Director of RF
Engineering and Director, Engineering, shall then use their best efforts to
devise a corrective plan to complete the project if practicable or, as nearly
as practicable, to meet the total estimated project costs.

         12.13   Liens.  LCC shall not permit liens, encumbrances or claims to
be filed or asserted by others against PBMS or PBMS' property by reason of
LCC's failure or alleged failure to pay for any labor performed or materials
furnished pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall protect, hold
harmless and indemnify PBMS from and against all claims, liens, encumbrances
filed, or asserted, because of labor performed (or allegedly performed) or
materials furnished (or allegedly furnished) hereunder, and shall be solely
responsible for the payment of any such claim, and shall cause any such lien or
encumbrance which may be filed, or asserted, to be immediately released and
discharged of record.  Upon failure of LCC to observe any of the provisions of
this section, PBMS, at its option, may pay any or all of the claims involved
and take such steps as it desires to cause such liens or encumbrances to be
released, and LCC shall, upon demand, reimburse PBMS for all reasonable costs
and payments so made, failing which PBMS may withhold sufficient funds
otherwise due LCC hereunder to reimburse itself, or may take such other action
as is necessary to recover such costs and payments.

         12.14   Insurance.  During the terms of this Agreement, LCC shall
procure and maintain, at its own expense: (i) workers' compensation insurance
as required by applicable law, (ii) comprehensive general liability insurance
for bodily injury and property damage, and (iii) if LCC's motor vehicles are
used in the performance of this Agreement, comprehensive motor vehicle
liability insurance for bodily injury and property damage covering the use and
maintenance of LCC's owned and non-owned vehicles.  The insurance as described
herein, shall name PBMS as an additional insured and LCC shall provide PBMS
with a certificate of such insurance upon request.  The general liability
insurance described above shall provide minimum coverage limits per occurrence
and on a combined single limit as follows: $5,000,000.  If any insurance called
for by this Section is maintained on a "claims made" form, LCC shall continue
such insurance in effect for a period of five (5) years following the
Cancellation, Termination or expiration of this Agreement.

         12.15   Executive Orders.  Exhibit K attached hereto, entitled
"Executive Orders and Associated Regulations" is hereby made a part hereof and
the word "Contractor" where it appears therein shall mean LCC.  Those orders
and





                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>   30
regulations applicable as indicated in the attachment are incorporated herein
by reference.

         12.16   Hazardous Materials/Chemicals.  LCC and the employees thereof
are hereby warned, in accordance with Proposition 65 as follows: WARNING:
EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER BIRTH
DEFECTS, OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM MAY OCCUR AT PBMS' PREMISES.  PBMS shall
disclose all such conditions to LCC prior to exposure, and shall make an MSDS
available to LCC at PBMS' premises.  Upon its receipt of such MSDS, LCC shall
issue appropriate warnings to inform and educate its employees, agents,
subcontractors, and other invitees, entering PBMS' premises, of the above
information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.  LCC and PBMS
shall cooperate concerning such warnings.

         12.17   Minority-Owned Business  As soon as practicable following the
execution of this Agreement, LCC shall apply for and diligently pursue
certification by the California Public Utilities Commission Clearing House
(CPUC) as a Minority-Owned Business.  Upon the issuance of such certification,
LCC shall provide PBMS with notice of the same and a copy of the relevant
certificate.  As used herein, the term "minority-owned" business shall mean a
business that is fifty-one percent (51%) or more owned and operated by a
minority individual or group, and where the management and daily operations of
the business are controlled by one or more of the foregoing individuals.

         12.18   No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is for the
benefit of PBMS and LCC and not for any other person.

         12.19   Compliance with Laws.  Each party agrees to comply with all
laws and regulations applicable to this Agreement.  In the event the provisions
of this Agreement conflict with any applicable laws and regulations, such laws
and regulations shall prevail.

         12.20   Approvals/Consents.  Where, under the terms of this Agreement,
the Statement of Work or any Letter of Authorization, the prior approval or
consent of one party is required, the party from which the same is required
shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent and/or approval.

         12.21   Remedies Cumulative.  Any rights of Cancellation, Termination
or other remedies prescribed in this Agreement are cumulative and are not
intended to be exclusive of any other remedies to which the injured party may
be entitled at law or in equity in case of any breach or threatened breach by
the other party of any provisions of this Agreement unless such other remedies
which are not prescribed in this Agreement are specifically limited or excluded
by this Agreement.  The use of one or more available remedies shall not bar the
use of any other remedy for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this

law.  The arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California and shall be
conducted on a confidential basis.  The arbitrator's award shall be supported
by law and substantial evidence and judgment upon the award rendered by the
Arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto, by their duly authorized
representatives, have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth
above.

                 2.2.5    Nextel agrees and acknowledges that the
Software and the Documentation are unpublished, licensed works of TSI which
contain trade secrets of TSI.

                 2.2.6    Nextel agrees that it shall not, at any time
during or after the term of this Agreement, sell, assign, lease, sublicense or

Optional Enhancements shall be delivered to Nextel shall be reflected in an
amendment to this Agreement.  Upon the execution of any such amendment, the
Optional Enhancement covered thereby shall become a part of the Software for
all purposes of this Agreement, as so amended.

         2.6      Sale of System.  Nextel agrees that prior to any sale,
transfer or assignment of any System in the Territory to any person other than
a Nextel affiliate or subsidiary:  (i) Nextel shall advise TSI in writing of
such sale, transfer or assignment and (ii) the parties shall promptly enter
into a separate Software License and Service Agreement for such System.  Such

for the purpose of supporting the operation of such System and (ii) the
provision by TSI of Services on substantially the same terms as set forth
herein.  Nextel's Software license fees for such System shall not be doubled or
otherwise increased due to execution of the separate Software License and
Services Agreement.  Such separate software license and services agreement may
only be assigned to the purchaser, transferee or assignee of such System.
Nextel shall not be required to pay any Software license fees on account of
such System following (i) written notice to TSI by Nextel of the completion of
Nextel's sale, transfer or assignment of such System and (ii) assignment by
Nextel of the separate Software License and Service Agreement to the purchaser,
transferee or assignee of such System.  In the event that Nextel's sale,
transfer or assignment of such Systems is not completed, the parties shall

of the ANET Software until the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months
after the date on which LCC and/or TSI commercially releases an Intel-based
version of the CellCAD Software (currently planned as "CellCAD III") or (ii)
December 31, 1998 (the "Support Period").  It is, however, TSI's intention to
do minimal development of the ANET Software.  Instead, TSI will concentrate on
developing the CellCAD Software with the expectation that most clients will
want the increased capabilities of the CellCAD Software in the future.
Notwithstanding the above, however, TSI





                                      -5-

agrees that during the Support Period, upon TSI's receipt of a written request
from Nextel, TSI will devote the resources of one (1) software developer to
developing Software features and/or functionality requested by Nextel.  Nextel
agrees to designate a single point of contact at Nextel responsible for
coordinating all such requests.

         2.8     WinMerge Software.  TSI hereby grants to Nextel, and Nextel
hereby accepts from TSI, a non-exclusive, non-transferable and restricted right
and license to use TSI's proprietary "WinMerge" software, in machine-readable,
object code form only, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which
shall be considered a part of the Software and included in the software license
fees paid by Nextel for all purposes of this Agreement except:  (i) the
WinMerge software shall be provided on an "AS IS" basis without any
representation or warranty of any kind or nature, and (ii)  TSI shall have no
obligation whatsoever to support, enhance, improve, or correct any defect
relating to the WinMerge software.  Accordingly, the provisions of Section 4.1,
Section 7.1, and Section 8 of this Agreement shall not apply to Nextel's use or
possession of the WinMerge software.  TSI HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND
ALL WARRANTIES OF WHATEVER KIND OR NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE
WinMerge SOFTWARE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES OF
NON-INFRINGEMENT.

3.       PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS AND WORKS.

         3.1     Proprietary Rights.  The license granted pursuant to Section 2
does not constitute a transfer or sale of TSI's ownership rights in or to the
Software or the Documentation.  All right, title and interest in and to the
Software and the Documentation (including any copies or subsequent versions
thereof) shall remain the exclusive property of TSI, subject to the rights
expressly granted hereunder.  TSI shall be the sole owner of any and all
inventions, discoveries, improvements, updates and enhancements relating to the

schedule of engineering service fees set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto,
based on the number of hours devoted by TSI's engineers.  For the first
thirty-six (36) months during the term of this Agreement, if Nextel does not
engage TSI to perform, and TSI does not perform, radio frequency engineering
services resulting in hourly radio frequency engineering service charges
totaling the Minimum Service Charges (as defined in Exhibit A) for the month,
after the application of all applicable discounts, then Nextel shall pay to TSI
an amount equal to the Minimum Service Charges for the month.

                 (b)      At each of the first and the second
anniversary of the date of this Agreement, Nextel shall have the option to
reduce the Minimum Service Charges for the immediately following twelve (12)
month period by up to ten percent (10%) of the then-current Minimum Service
Charges, provided that: (i) Nextel notifies TSI in writing of Nextel's election
to reduce the Minimum Service Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to the
relevant anniversary date, and (ii) TSI's obligation to be available to provide
Nextel with radio frequency engineering services shall be reduced in proportion
to any reduction in the Minimum Service Charges.  Notwithstanding any provision
herein to the contrary, any reduction of the Minimum Service Charges shall not
affect Nextel's obligations under Section 4.2.5 hereof with respect to
assignments of two (2) years or more.

                 (c)      The parties agree to reduce the Minimum
Service Charges, on a pro rata basis, upon the occurrence, if they occur, of
each of the following events:

                 (i)      the Federal Communications Commission revokes
any Nextel license to operate any System;

                 (ii)     the closing by Nextel of that certain
transaction with Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola") that will have the effect of
combining the 800MHz specialized mobile radio communications business conducted
by Motorola with the Systems pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of
Contribution and Merger among Nextel, Motorola and ESMR, Inc., dated August 4,
1994, as amended; and

                 (iii)    the closing of the purchase of each tranche
of certain preferred stock and common stock of Nextel by Digital Radio, L.L.C.
("Digital") and Mr. Craig O. McCaw ("McCaw") pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement among Nextel, Digital and McCaw, dated April 5,
1995.

                 (d)      The parties may agree to increase the Minimum
Service Charges, on a pro rata basis, upon completion (i.e., the relevant
closing date) of the Dial Call Acquisition, as defined in Section 11.2(a)
hereof.

                 (e)      Any reduction in the Minimum Service Charges
under this Section 4.2.1 shall result in a corresponding reduction in the
monthly staffing levels that TSI has agreed to be available to provide radio
frequency engineering services to Nextel under Section 4.2.2 below; and any
increase in the Minimum Service Charges shall result in a corresponding
increase in such staffing levels.

                 4.2.2    TSI's Availability.  For the first thirty-six
(36) months during the term of this Agreement, TSI agrees to remain available
to provide radio frequency engineering services to Nextel at the monthly
staffing levels set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, assuming an allocation
between engineering titles of one (1) Project Leader (or Project Manager) for
every two (2) System Engineers plus two (2) RF Engineers.  In the event Nextel
desires to engage TSI to provide more than the number of engineers required
under the monthly staffing levels set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, then:
(i) in the event Nextel provides TSI with a written request for the same that
exceeds the required monthly staffing levels by less than five percent (5%),
then TSI agrees (assuming the foregoing staffing allocation) to provide the
requested staffing within three (3) weeks of its receipt of Nextel's request,
(ii) in the event Nextel provides TSI with a written request for the same that
exceeds the monthly staffing levels by between five percent (5%) and ten
percent (10%), then TSI agrees (assuming the foregoing staffing allocation) to
provide the requested staffing within eight (8) weeks of its receipt of
Nextel's request, and (iii) in the event Nextel provides TSI with a written
request for the same that exceeds the monthly staffing levels by more than ten
percent (10%), then TSI agrees (assuming the foregoing staffing allocation) to
use its best efforts to meet Nextel's requirements subject to the availability
of sufficient qualified personnel.  For the purposes of this Agreement, TSI's
Project Managers, Project Leaders, System Engineers and RF Engineers shall have
substantially all of the qualifications set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto.

                 4.2.3    TSI Staffing Plan.

                 (a)      For the first thirty-six (36) months during
the term of this Agreement, the parties agree to meet on a quarterly basis to
develop and agree upon an engineering personnel staffing plan for the
immediately following three calendar quarters, until the expiration of such
thirty-six (36) month period, as follows: (i) the first staffing plan will
cover the immediately following three calendar quarters, and (ii) each
subsequent staffing plan will carry forward, from the previous staffing plan,
the staffing plan for the remaining two calendar quarters and include a new
staffing plan for the third calendar quarter.  Each staffing plan will be
jointly prepared by TSI and Nextel and will provide for TSI's provision of
radio frequency engineering services to Nextel at dollar amounts equaling not
less than the applicable Minimum Service Charges during the relevant month(s).

                 (b)      Each staffing plan will specify: (i) the
number of engineers required, by grade level from Project Manager to RF
Engineer, (ii) the respective





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11
staffing levels for each Nextel project office (subject to Section 4.2.3(c)
below), and (iii) the number of engineers that will be required to provide
professional services on a long-term (more than two (2) years) basis.  TSI
agrees to be available to provide Nextel with radio frequency engineering
services equaling the Minimum Service Charges for the relevant month(s) in
accordance with the then-current staffing.  If TSI is unable (due to its
inability to provide the required staffing) to provide radio frequency
engineering services equaling the Minimum Service Charges, then: (A) TSI's
radio frequency engineering services for the month will be invoiced based only
on the services actually provided, and (B) TSI agrees to credit to Nextel's
account an amount equal to Twenty percent (20%) of the difference between the
Minimum Service Charges for the month and the amount invoiced to Nextel for
radio frequency engineering services under the preceding subsection (A).

                 (c)      Nextel shall have the option to reallocate
any position designated in the then-current staffing plan for any particular
Nextel project office to another Nextel project office, upon not less than
thirty (30) days advance written notice to TSI.  Upon its receipt of any such
notice, TSI agrees to use reasonable efforts to provide the requested engineer
in the newly designated project office, provided that, TSI shall not be liable
for any failure to provide the same and the provisions of Section 4.2.3(b)
shall not apply.

                 (d)      Nextel fails to present to TSI a projection
of its requirements for radio frequency engineering services, assuming the
allocation between engineering titles described in Section 4.2.2 above, for any
calendar quarter, and as a result, the parties fail to develop a staffing plan
for the same calendar quarter, then neither: (i) TSI's inability to provide any
particular level of engineer for the calendar month(s) that a staffing plan was
not developed, nor (ii) TSI's inability to staff any particular Nextel office
for the calendar month(s) that a staffing plan was not developed, shall operate
to reduce or eliminate Nextel's obligation to pay the Minimum Service Charges.

                 4.2.4    Key Personnel; Promotions.  TSI agrees to
notify Nextel before TSI reassigns, promotes or changes the responsibilities of
any radio frequency engineer who is rendering Services to Nextel.  TSI agrees
to take into account Nextel's views regarding the proposed reassignment,
promotion or change in responsibilities, it being understood that TSI shall
have sole authority to make the final decision regarding any such personnel.
In the event TSI, on its own initiative or as a result of the removal of an
employee for "just cause" (as defined in Section 4.2.5(b) below), reassigns any
of the foregoing personnel, then:  (a) TSI shall use its best efforts to have
the reassigned engineer spend:  (i) three (3) days, for short-term assignments,
or (ii) five (5) days for long-term assignments, at his/her assigned project
office and/or location, training his/her replacement without charging Nextel
for the services of the reassigned engineer during the afore-mentioned training
period, and (b) Nextel will not be obligated to reimburse TSI for any expenses
incurred in relocating and/or moving the engineer to his/her new assignment.

                 4.2.5    Long Term Assignments.

                 (a)      In the event Nextel determines that a
particular engineering position will need to be filled in a particular project
office on a continuous basis for more than two (2) years, Nextel shall provide
TSI with a written request to fill the position for a period of not less than
two (2) years.  Upon TSI's receipt of any such request, TSI shall determine
whether any one or more of its employees would be interested in accepting the
relevant engineering position.  If TSI is able to secure an engineer for the
requested position, and assuming the engineer is acceptable to Nextel, then TSI
agrees to so assign the relevant engineer.  The parties acknowledge and agree
that:  (i) TSI may not be able to provide engineer(s) on a long term basis
within the requested time periods, and (ii) TSI may not be able to convert the
engineers currently assigned to perform services in Nextel's project offices to
long term assignment under this Section 4.2.5 in light of the engineer's
original expectations in accepting his/her current the assignment, and TSI
shall not be obligated to compel any engineer to accept the same.

                 (b)      In the event that, pursuant to any Nextel
request under Section 4.2.5(a) above, TSI assigns an engineer to perform
services at any Nextel project office for a period of two (2) years or more:
(a) Nextel agrees not to terminate the engineer's assignment before the
expiration of the applicable two (2) year period, or such longer period as may
have been requested by Nextel (the "Commitment Period"), other than for "just
cause," and (b) in lieu of the standard per diem, reimbursable living expenses
and income tax equalization payments paid by Nextel hereunder, for each
engineer, Nextel shall reimburse TSI: (i) for moving expenses incurred by TSI
in moving the subject employee to and back from the relevant market, at a rate
of [                                          ] per move (where moving to the
market constitutes a single move and moving back from the market constitutes a
second move) plus (ii) a monthly per diem in the amount of [                   
                        ] per engineer on long term assignment per month.  In
the event Nextel terminates the engineer's assignment before the expiration of
the applicable Commitment Period, other than for "just cause," Nextel also
agrees to pay TSI termination charges equal to the sum of [                    
        ] times the actual number of months remaining in the Commitment Period.
For the purposes of this Section 4.2.5(b), the term "just cause" shall mean:
(i) after an engineer consistently fails to perform his/her responsibilities in
a professional and competent manner, after notice and reasonable opportunity to
cure his/her performance, or (ii) any act of dishonesty, fraud or deceit.

         4.3     Nextel Decisions.  TSI and Nextel agree that because Nextel
and/or other persons, and not TSI, shall have ultimate decision-making
authority concerning the design, optimization and/or expansion of the Systems,
TSI shall not, in the performance of any Services for Nextel under this
Agreement, be responsible or have any liability for any design, conceptual
planning, optimization and/or expansion of the System and/or any decisions made
by Nextel and/or any person or





                                      -12-

directly and is not a sub-contractor of TSI) concerning the Systems.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.3:  (i) in rendering the
Services TSI shall contribute its best efforts to Nextel's overall system
engineering activities in order to achieve a system design of high quality, and
(ii) nothing in this Section 4.3 shall release TSI from its obligations under
Section 7.1.4 hereof with respect to recommendations made by TSI in performance
of the Services.

         4.4     Subcontracting.  TSI shall have the right to engage
subcontractors to perform any or all of the Services, subject to Nextel's prior
written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Each
such subcontractor shall execute a confidentiality agreement with Nextel that
is satisfactory to Nextel in form and substance.

         4.5     Certain Obligations.  The parties hereby acknowledge that the
minimum payments, availability requirements, and staffing provisions of
Sections 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3 and 4.2.5 hereof shall remain in effect only for
the first thirty-six (36) months during the term of this Agreement.  After the
expiration of such thirty-six (36) month period, Nextel may engage TSI to
perform radio frequency engineering services, and TSI may agree to perform such
services, from time to time.  The provision of such services shall be subject
to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement.

AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THIRD
PARTY PRODUCTS.  THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.1 MAY NOT BE ENLARGED,
DIMINISHED OR AFFECTED WITHOUT TSI'S WRITTEN CONSENT.

         7.3     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  IN NO EVENT WILL TSI BE LIABLE TO
NEXTEL OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, USE OR DATA OR
SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF
ANY KIND OR FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE BREACH OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS
ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT
LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF TSI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.  THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS PROVISION IS TO LIMIT THE
POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF TSI ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.  IN NO EVENT SHALL
TSI'S LIABILITY TO NEXTEL HEREUNDER EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, [            
                       ]; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN THE EVENT THAT TSI IS FOUND

8.       INFRINGEMENT.

         8.1     Indemnity.  Subject to the exclusions stated in Section 8.3,

                 8.1.4    Nextel shall provide all reasonable assistance
requested by TSI.

         8.2     Additional Obligations.  If the Software is, or in the opinion
of TSI is likely to become, the subject of any action for infringement of any
United States copyright, or if the Software is adjudicated to infringe any
United States copyright, or if the use of the Software is enjoined in the
Territory, then TSI shall have the option to: (i) obtain for Nextel, at TSI's
expense, the right to continue using the Software; (ii) replace or modify the
Software so that it becomes non-infringing; or (iii) in the event the parties
mutually agree that (i) and/or (ii) above are not practical or possible, after
TSI's having used its best efforts, terminate this Agreement, without incurring
any liability to Nextel, by providing written notice thereof to Nextel.

         8.3     Exclusions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, TSI shall have no
obligation to indemnify Nextel pursuant to Section 8.1 with respect to any
infringement or alleged infringement resulting from any modification to the
Software made by Nextel or any third party or any unauthorized use of the
Software by Nextel or any third party.

         8.4     Indemnification By Nextel.  Nextel hereby agrees to indemnify
TSI and to hold TSI harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by TSI as a
result of any unauthorized modification to or use of the Software by Nextel.

         8.5     EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATIONS AND REMEDIES.  THE FOREGOING ARE TSI'S
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATIONS, AND NEXTEL'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES, WITH
RESPECT TO THE INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

9.       TAXES, DUTIES AND LEVIES.

         9.1     Nextel's Obligation to Pay.  All license fees, fees for
Services and other payments to TSI are exclusive of any and all taxes, duties
or levies assessed by any governmental authority in the United States.  All
such taxes, duties and levies (exclusive of any taxes based upon TSI's net
income) shall be assumed by and paid for by Nextel, irrespective of whether
included in any invoice sent to Nextel at any time by TSI.

10.      NON-DISCLOSURE AND CONFIDENTIALITY.

         10.1    Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information.  In the event either
party hereto (the "Receiving Party") obtains from the other party hereto (the
"Disclosing Party") information in whatever form which is confidential or
proprietary ("Proprietary Information") the Receiving Party: (i) shall treat
all such Proprietary Information as  confidential; (ii) shall use such
Proprietary Information only for the





                                      -19-
<PAGE>   20
purposes contemplated in this Agreement; (iii) shall protect such Proprietary
Information, whether in storage or in use, with the same degree of care as the
Receiving Party uses to protect its own proprietary information against public
disclosure, but in no case with less than reasonable care; and (iv) shall not
disclose such Proprietary Information to any third party except to such
employees of the Receiving Party who need to know such Proprietary Information
for the purpose of effectuating this Agreement, who have been informed of the
confidential nature of such Proprietary Information and who are bound in
writing by the provisions of this Section 10.

         10.2    Exclusions.  The provisions of this Section 10 shall not apply
to any Proprietary Information which: (i) was in the public domain on the date
hereof or comes into the public domain other than through (a) the fault or
negligence of the Receiving Party or (b) a third party's breach of a
nondisclosure obligation to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was lawfully obtained by
the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of (a) this Agreements by
the Receiving Party or (b) a nondisclosure obligation of any third party to the
Disclosing Party, and otherwise not in violation of the Disclosing Party's
rights; (iii) was known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure as
shown by the Receiving Party's records in existence at the time of disclosure;
(iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party, as shown by written
evidence of the Receiving Party, without making use of any Proprietary
Information of the Disclosing Party; or (v) is required to be disclosed
pursuant to the order of any court or governmental agency.

         10.3    Return.  Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
and in any event upon the Disclosing Party's request at any time, the Receiving
Party shall:  (i) return to the Disclosing Party all documents (including any
copies thereof) embodying the Disclosing Party's Proprietary Information and
(ii) certify in writing to the Disclosing Party, within ten (10) days following
the Disclosing Party's request, that all such Proprietary Information has been
returned.

         10.4    Injunctive Relief.  TSI and Nextel acknowledge that the extent
of damages in the event of the breach of any provision of Section 10.1 or 10.3
would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that there will be available
no adequate remedy at law in the event of any such breach.  Each party
therefore agrees that in the event it breaches any provision of Section 10.1 or
10.3, the other party will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief,
in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

         10.5    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.

officers, agents, subsidiaries, successors or assigns shall, directly,
indirectly or in concert with any other person, solicit the services of,
retain, attempt to employ or employ any employee of the other party.  In the

Party") shall provide the other party (the "Other Party") with written notice
of its desire to hire the relevant engineer prior to entering into any
discussions with, or making any employment offers to the relevant engineer, and
(b) the Other Party shall promptly advise the Hiring Party whether the Other
Party intends to waive, in its sole discretion, the provisions of this Section
11.1.  In the event the Other Party elects to waive the provisions of this
Section 11.1, then (i) the parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, for the
Hiring Party's payment to the Other Party of an appropriate finder's fee
sufficient to compensate the Other Party for the investment (including
training) made by the Other Party in the training and professional development
of the relevant engineer, and (ii) contingent upon the parties having reached
such agreement, the Hiring Party shall be free to solicit the services of,
retain and/or employee the relevant engineer.

shall govern Nextel's use of the ANET Software in connection with those Systems
acquired by Nextel in connection with the Dial Call Acquisition.  The Systems
acquired by Nextel in connection with the Dial Call Acquisition shall be
excluded from the Territory for the purposes of this Agreement, provided,
however, that concurrent with Nextel's assumption of the Dial Call Agreement,
or at anytime within one (1) year thereafter, Nextel shall have the option,
upon written notice to TSI, to terminate the Dial Call Agreement.  In the event
Nextel exercises the foregoing option: (i) Nextel's use of the Software in
connection with those Systems acquired by Nextel in connection with the Dial
Call Acquisition shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) the
software license fees payable by Nextel under Section 5.1 hereof shall, upon
termination of the Dial Call Agreement, be increased by [                     
                 ] per month in accordance with Exhibit B attached hereto.

provided, however, that at anytime within one (1) year after completion of the
OneComm Acquisition, Nextel shall have the option, upon written notice to TSI,

Agreement.  Commencing on the effective date of Nextel's exercise of the
foregoing option: (i) Nextel's use of the Software in connection with such
Systems shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) the software
license fees payable by Nextel under Section 5.1 hereof shall not be increased.

Administrator's responsibilities under the Plan shall be limited to taking all
legal actions necessary to document the Options provided herein, to maintain
appropriate records and reports regarding those Options, and to take all acts
authorized or required by the Plan.

4.               STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

                 4.1.     Options to purchase not more than 60,000 shares of
the Class A Stock and 250,000 of the Class B Stock may be granted under the
Plan.  If any Option expires, terminates or is terminated or canceled for any
reason before it is exercised in full, the shares of Stock that were subject to
the unexercised portion of the Option shall be available for future Options
granted under the Plan.

                 4.2(a).    If the outstanding shares of Class A Stock or Class
B Stock are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or other securities of the Corporation by reason of
any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares,
exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable on capital
stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Corporation,





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   6
occurring after the Effective Date, the number and kinds of shares for the
purchase of which Options may be granted under the Plan shall be adjusted
proportionately and accordingly by the Corporation.  In addition, the number
and kind of shares for which Options are outstanding shall be adjusted
proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate interest of the
holder of the Option immediately following such event shall, to the extent
practicable, be the same as immediately prior to such event.  Any such
adjustment in outstanding Options shall not change the aggregate Option Price
payable with respect to shares subject to the unexercised portion of the Option
outstanding but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the
Option Price per share.

                 4.2(b).    Subject to Section 4.2(c) hereof, if the
Corporation shall be the surviving corporation in any reorganization, merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with one or more other corporations, any
Option theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to
the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to
such Option would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization,
merger or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the
Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price thereafter shall be
the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares remaining subject to the
Option immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation.

                 4.2(c).    Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Corporation, or upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the
Corporation with one or more other corporations in which the Corporation is not
the surviving corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all of the assets of
the Corporation to another corporation, or upon any transaction (including,
without limitation, a merger or reorganization in which the Corporation is the
surviving corporation) approved by the Board which results in any person or
entity owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Corporation, the Plan and all Options outstanding hereunder shall
terminate, except to the extent provision is made in writing in connection with
such transaction for the continuation of the Plan, the assumption of the
Options theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such Options of new
options covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or
subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of
shares and exercise prices, in which event the Plan (if applicable) and Options
theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so
provided.  In the event of any such termination of the Plan and Options, each
individual holding an Option shall have the right immediately prior to the
occurrence of such termination and during such period occurring prior to such
termination as the Board in its sole discretion shall determine and designate,
to exercise such Option to the extent that such Option was otherwise
exercisable at the time such termination occurs.  The Administrator shall send
written notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all
individuals who hold Options not later than the time at which the Corporation
gives notice thereof to its stockholders.





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   7
                 4.2(d).    Adjustments under this Section 4.2 related to stock
or securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Administrator, whose
determination in that respect shall be final and conclusive.  No fractional
shares of Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any
such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or
unit.

                 4.2(e).    The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall
not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Corporation to make
adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell
or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

5.               ELIGIBILITY

                 Eligibility under the Plan is limited to Eligible Directors.

6.               OPTION PRICE

                 The Option Price of the Stock covered by each Option granted
under the Plan shall be the greater of the Fair Market Value or the par value
of such Stock on the Grant Date.  The Option Price shall be subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 hereof.

7.               NUMBER OF SHARES AND GRANT DATES

                 Each Eligible Director on the Effective Date who is eligible
to hold Class B Common Stock shall be granted an Initial Option to purchase
35,000 shares of Class B Stock as of the Effective Date or, if such Eligible
Director's Commencement of Service is after the Effective Date, as of such
Eligible Director's Commencement of Service.  Each Eligible Director who is
eligible to hold Class B Common Stock also shall be granted an Additional
Option to purchase 22,500 shares of Class B Stock immediately after each of the
next four annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders if the Eligible
Director continues to be an Eligible Director at such time.  Each Eligible
Director on the Effective Date who is not eligible to hold Class B Common Stock
shall be granted an Initial Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Class A Stock
as of the Effective Date and each Eligible Director who is not eligible to hold
Class B Stock and whose Commencement of Service is after the Effective Date
shall be granted an Initial Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Class A Stock
as of such Eligible Director's Commencement of Service.

8.               VESTING OF OPTIONS

                 8.1      The Optionee may exercise the Option (subject to the
limitations on exercise set forth in this Plan or in the Option Agreement
relating to such Option), as follows:  (i) as to Eligible Directors whose
Commencement of Service as a director is prior to July 1, 1996, the Option
shall be exercisable with respect to 100% of the number of shares specified in
Section 7 above on and after the Grant Date of the Option; and (ii) as to
Eligible Directors whose Commencement of Service as a director is after July 1,
1996, the Option shall be exercisable in respect of 33 1/3 percent of the
number of shares specified in Section 7 above on the first anniversary of the
Grant Date of the Option, as set forth in Section 7 above, and the Option shall
be exercisable in respect of an additional 33 1/3 percent of the number of
shares specified in Section 7 above on each of the next two anniversaries of
the Grant Date, as set forth in Section 7 above.  The foregoing installments,
to the extent not exercised, shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or
in part, at any time and from time to time, after becoming exercisable and
prior to the termination of the Option; provided, that no single exercise of
the Option shall be for less than 100 shares, unless the number of shares
purchased is the total number at the time available for purchase under this
Option.

                 8.2      In the event of a "Change of Control", all non-vested
Options outstanding under the Plan shall become immediately exercisable.  For
purposes of this Plan, "Change of Control" means:

                 (a)      execution by the Corporation of an agreement for the
merger of the Corporation into or with another corporation, the result of which
would be that the stockholders of the Corporation at the time of execution of
such agreement would own less than 50% of the total equity of the corporation
surviving the merger; or

                 (b)      the sale of assets of the Corporation having an
aggregate book value of 40% or more of the total book value of all assets of
the Corporation as shown on the then most recent annual audited financial
statement of the Corporation; or

                 (c)      a change of control of a nature that would be
required to be reported in response to Item 5(f) of Schedule 14A of Regulation
14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, provided that, without limitation, such
a change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as
such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or
becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 50%
of the Corporation's then outstanding securities.

9.               OPTION PERIOD

                 An Option shall be exercisable only during the Option Period.
The Option Period shall commence when the Option first becomes exercisable and
shall end at the close of business on the Expiration Date.

10.              TIMING AND METHOD OF EXERCISE

                 Subject to Sections 8 and 9 hereof, an Option that is
exercisable hereunder may be exercised by delivery to the Corporation on any
business day, at its principal office addressed to the attention of the
Administrator, of written notice of exercise, which notice shall specify the
number of shares for which the Option is being exercised, and shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for which the
Option is being exercised.  Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Stock
purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made (a) in cash or by
certified check payable to the order of the Corporation; (b) through the tender
to the Corporation of shares of Stock, which shares shall be valued, for
purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price has been paid
thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or (c) by a
combination of the methods described in (a) and (b) hereof.  Payment in full of
the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise provided the
notice directs that the Stock certificate or certificates for the shares for
which the Option is exercised be delivered to a licensed broker acceptable to
the Corporation as the agent for the individual exercising the Option and, at
the time such Stock certificate or certificates are delivered, the broker
tenders to the Corporation cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the
Corporation) equal to the Option Price plus the amount (if any) of federal
and/or other taxes which the Corporation may, in its judgment, be required to
withhold with respect to the exercise of the Option.  An attempt to exercise
any Option granted hereunder other than as set forth above shall be invalid and
of no force and effect.  Promptly after the exercise of an Option and the
payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock covered thereby, the
individual exercising the Option shall be entitled to the issuance of a Stock
certificate or certificates evidencing such individual's ownership of such
shares.

11.              SERVICE TERMINATION

                 Upon the termination of service (a "Service Termination") of
the Optionee in all capacities as an employee and/or director of the
Corporation and all of its affiliated companies, other than by reason of the
death or permanent and total disability of such Optionee, Optionee shall have
the right (subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section
9 above), at any time within 60 days after such Service Termination and prior
to termination of the Option pursuant to Section 9 above, to exercise, in whole
or in part, any Option held by such Optionee





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   10
at the date of such Service Termination, to the extent such Option was
exercisable immediately prior to such Service Termination.

12.              RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY

                 12.1.    If an Optionee dies while in service as a director of
the Corporation, the executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of
such Optionee's estate shall have the right (subject to the general limitations
on exercise set forth in Section 9 above), at any time within 180 days after
the date of such Optionee's death and prior to termination of the Option
pursuant to Section 9 above, to exercise any Option held by such Optionee at
the date of such Optionee's death, whether or not such Option was exercisable
immediately prior to such Optionee's death.

                 12.2.    If there is a Service Termination by reason of the
permanent and total disability of the Optionee, then such Optionee shall have
the right (subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section
9 above), at any time within 180 days after such Service Termination and prior
to termination of the Option pursuant to Section 9 above, to exercise, in whole
or in part, any Option held by such Optionee at the date of such Service
Termination, whether or not such Option was exercisable immediately prior to
such Service Termination.  Whether a Service Termination is to be considered by
reason of permanent and total disability for purposes of this Plan shall be
determined by the Board, which determination shall be final and conclusive.

13.              NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS UNDER OPTION

                 Neither an Optionee nor any person entitled to exercise an
Optionee's rights in the event of an Optionee's death shall have any of the
rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Stock subject to an
Option except to the extent the certificates for such shares shall have been
issued upon the exercise of the Option.

14.              CONTINUATION OF SERVICE

                 Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any person any right to
continue as a member of the Board or interfere in any way with the right of the
Corporation to terminate such relationship.

15.              STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                 Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by
a written Stock Option Agreement notifying the Optionee of the grant and





                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   11
incorporating the terms of the Plan.  The Stock Option Agreement shall be
executed by the Corporation and the Optionee.

16.              WITHHOLDING

                 The Corporation shall have the right to withhold, or require
an Optionee to remit to the Corporation, an amount sufficient to satisfy any
applicable federal, state or local withholding tax requirements imposed with
respect to exercise of Options.  To the extent permissible under applicable
tax, securities and other laws, the Optionee may satisfy a tax withholding
requirement by directing the Corporation to apply shares of Stock to which the
Optionee is entitled as a result of the exercise of an Option to satisfy
withholding requirements under this Section 16.

17.              NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS

                 Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall, during
Optionee's lifetime, be exercisable only by Optionee, and neither the Option
nor any right thereunder shall be transferable by the Optionee by operation of
law or otherwise other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
and shall not be pledged or hypothecated (by operation of law or otherwise) or
subject to execution, attachment or similar processes.

18.              USE OF PROCEEDS

                 The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of
Stock pursuant to Options granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds
of the Corporation.

19.              ADOPTION, AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

                 19.1.    The Plan shall be effective as of the date of
adoption by the Board, subject to stockholder approval of the Plan within one
year of the Effective Date by a majority of the votes cast at a duly held
meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation at which a quorum representing a
majority of all outstanding stock is present, either in person or by proxy, and
voting on the matter, or by written consent in accordance with applicable state
law and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Corporation
provided, however, that upon approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the
Corporation, all Options granted under the Plan on or after the Effective Date
shall be fully effective as if the stockholders of the Corporation had approved
the Plan on the Effective Date.  If the stockholders fail to approve the Plan
within one year of the Effective Date, any Options granted hereunder shall be
null, void and of no effect.





                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   12
                 19.2.    Subject to the limitation of Section 19.4 hereof, the
Board may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan, and may amend it from time
to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable, which approval may be
made subject to approval by the Corporation's stockholders.

                 19.3.    No Option may be granted during any suspension or
after the termination of the Plan, and no amendment, suspension or termination
of the Plan shall, without the Optionee's consent, alter or impair any rights
or obligations under any Stock Option Agreement previously entered into under
the Plan.  The Plan shall terminate ten years after the Effective Date unless
previously terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof or by the Board pursuant
to this Section 19.

                 19.4.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 19.2
hereof, the Plan shall not be amended more than once in any six-month period
other than to comport with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, or the rules promulgated thereunder.

20.              SECURITIES LAWS

                 The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any
shares of Stock under any Option if the sale or issuance of such shares would
constitute a violation by the individual exercising the Option or the
Corporation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations.  Specifically in connection with the Securities Act, upon exercise
of any Option, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in
effect with respect to the shares of Stock covered by such Option, the
Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue such shares unless the
Administrator has received evidence satisfactory to the Administrator that the
holder of such Option may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act.  Any determination in this connection by
the Administrator shall be final and conclusive.  The Corporation may, but
shall in no event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby
pursuant to the Securities Act.  The Corporation shall not be obligated to take
any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or the
issuance of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any
governmental authority.  As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the
requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable unless and until the shares
of Stock covered by such Option are registered or are subject to an available

21.              INDEMNIFICATION

                 21.1.    To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Administrator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation against
and from any and all loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon
or reasonably incurred by the Administrator in connection with or resulting
from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which the Administrator may be a
party or in which the Administrator may be involved by reason of any action
taken or failure to act under the Plan, and against and from any and all
amounts paid by the Administrator (with the Corporation's written approval) in
the settlement thereof, or paid by the Administrator in satisfaction of a
judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding except a judgment in favor of
the Corporation; subject, however, to the condition that upon the institution
of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against the Administrator, the
Administrator shall give the Corporation an opportunity in writing, at its own
expense, to handle and defend the same before the Administrator undertakes to
handle and defend it on the Administrator's own behalf.  The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right to which such person
may be entitled as a matter of law or otherwise, or any power the Corporation
may have to indemnify the Administrator or hold the Administrator harmless.

                 21.2.    The Administrator and each officer and employee of
the Corporation shall be fully justified in reasonably relying or acting upon
any information furnished in connection with the administration of the Plan by
the Corporation or any employee of the Corporation.  In no event shall any
person who is or shall have been the Administrator, or an officer or employee
of the Corporation, be liable for any determination made or other action taken
or any omission to act in reliance upon any such information, or for any action
(including furnishing of information) taken or any failure to act, if in good
faith.

23.              GOVERNING LAW

                 The validity, interpretation and effect of the Plan, and the
rights of all persons hereunder, shall be governed by and determined in
accordance with the laws of Delaware, other than the choice of law rules
thereof.

                 The amendment and restatement of the Plan was duly adopted and
approved by the Board on August 26, 1996 and was duly approved by the
stockholders of the Corporation on August 26, 1996.

maximum effort for the growth and success of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries and will encourage such eligible individuals to continue to
service the Corporation.  Each stock option granted under the Plan is intended
to be an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code,

forth in Section 8 hereof and (b) for Options specifically designated at the
time of grant as not being Incentive Stock Options.

the Board, which shall have the full power and authority to take all actions
and to make all determinations required or provided for under the Plan or any
Option granted or Option Agreement entered into hereunder and all such other
actions and determinations not inconsistent with the specific terms and
provisions of the Plan deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate
to the administration of the Plan or any Option granted or Option Agreement
entered into hereunder.  The interpretation and construction by the Committee
of any provision of the Plan or of any Option granted or Option Agreement
entered into hereunder shall be final and conclusive.

                 3.2.    NO LIABILITY

<PAGE>   7
determination, in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted or
Option Agreement entered into hereunder.

4.               STOCK

                 The stock that may be issued pursuant to Options granted under
the Plan shall be Stock, which shares may be treasury shares or authorized but
unissued shares.  The number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to
Options granted under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 3,224,000
shares of Stock, which number of shares is subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 19 hereof.  If any Option expires, terminates or is terminated for any
reason prior to exercise in full, the shares of Stock that were subject to the
unexercised portion of such Option shall be available for future Options
granted under the Plan.

5.               ELIGIBILITY

                 Options may be granted under the Plan to (i) any officer or
key employee of the Corporation, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate (including any
such officer or key employee who is also a director of the Corporation, any
Subsidiary or any Affiliate) or (ii) any other individual whose participation
in the Plan is determined to be in the best interests of the Corporation by the
Committee.  An individual may hold more than one Option, subject to such
restrictions as are provided herein.

6.               EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM

                 6.1.    EFFECTIVE DATE

                 The Plan shall become effective as of the date of adoption by
the Board, subject to stockholders' approval of the Plan within one year of
such effective date by a majority of the votes cast at a duly held meeting of
the stockholders of the Corporation at which a quorum representing a majority
of all outstanding stock is present, either in person or by proxy, and voting
on the matter, or by written consent in accordance with applicable state law
and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Corporation and in a
manner that satisfies the requirements of Rule 16b-3(b) of the Exchange Act;
provided, however, that upon approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the
Corporation, all Options granted under the Plan on or after the effective date

the Plan on the effective date.  If the stockholders fail to approve the Plan
within one year of such effective date, any Options granted hereunder shall be
null, void and of no effect.

<PAGE>   8
                 6.2.    TERM

                 The Plan shall terminate on the date 10 years after the 
effective date.

7.               GRANT OF OPTIONS

                 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee
may, at any time and from time to time prior to the date of termination of the
Plan, grant to such eligible individuals as the Committee may determine Options
to purchase such number of shares of Stock on such terms and conditions as the
Committee may determine, including any terms or conditions which may be
necessary to qualify such Options as Incentive Stock Options.  Without limiting
the foregoing, the Committee may at any time, with the consent of the Optionee,
amend the terms of outstanding Options or issue new Options in exchange for the
surrender and cancellation of outstanding Options.  The date on which the
Committee approves the grant of an Option (or such later date as is specified
by the Committee) shall be considered the date on which such Option is granted.
The maximum number of shares of Stock subject to Options that can be awarded
under the Plan to any person is 1,000,000 shares.

8.               LIMITATION ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

                 An Option (other than an Option described in Section 1 hereof)
shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only to the extent that the
aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of
the Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the
first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all
other plans of the Optionee's employer corporation and its parent and
subsidiary corporations within the meaning of Section 422(d) of the Code) does
not exceed $100,000.  This limitation shall be applied by taking Options into
account in the order in which such Options were granted.

9.               OPTION AGREEMENTS

                 All Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by
written agreements to be executed by the Corporation and the Optionee, in such
form or forms as the Committee shall from time to time determine.  Option
Agreements covering Options granted from time to time or at the same time need
not contain similar provisions; provided, however, that all such Option
Agreements shall comply with all terms of the Plan.

<PAGE>   9
10.              OPTION PRICE

                 The purchase price of each share of Stock subject to an Option
shall be fixed by the Committee and stated in each Option Agreement.  In the
case of an Option that is intended to constitute an Incentive Stock Option, the
Option Price shall be not less than the greater of par value or 100 percent of
the fair market value of a share of the Stock covered by the Option on the date
the Option is granted (as determined in good faith by the Committee); provided,
however, that in the event the Optionee would otherwise be ineligible to
receive an Incentive Stock Option by reason of the provisions of Sections
422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code (relating to stock ownership of more than 10
percent), the Option Price of an Option which is intended to be an Incentive
Stock Option shall be not less than the greater of par value or 110 percent of
the fair market value of a share of the Stock covered by the Option at the time
such Option is granted.    In the case of an Option not intended to constitute
an Incentive Stock Option, the Option Price shall be not less than the par
value of a share of the Stock covered by the Option on the date the Option is
granted (as determined in good faith by the Committee).

11.              TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

                 11.1.   TERM

                 Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate and all
rights to purchase shares thereunder shall cease upon the expiration of 10
years from the date such Option is granted, or on such date prior thereto as
may be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Option Agreement relating to
such Option; provided, however, that in the event the Optionee would otherwise
be ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option by reason of the provisions
of Sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code (relating to stock ownership of
more than 10 percent), an Option granted to such Optionee which is intended to
be an Incentive Stock Option shall in no event be exercisable after the
expiration of five years from the date it is granted.

                 11.2.   EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE

                 Only the Optionee receiving an Option (or, in the event of the
Optionee's legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's guardian or legal
representative, and in the case of the Optionee's death, the Optionee's estate)
may exercise the Option.

                 11.3.   OPTION PERIOD AND LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE

                 Each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable in
whole or in part at any time and from time to time over a period commencing on
or after the date of grant of the Option and ending upon the expiration or
termination of the





                                       6
<PAGE>   10
Option, as the Committee shall determine and set forth in the Option Agreement
relating to such Option.  Without limitation of the foregoing, the Committee,
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, may in its sole discretion
provide that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for any period
or periods of time during which such Option is outstanding as the Committee
shall determine and set forth in the Option Agreement relating to such Option.
Any such limitation on the exercise of an Option contained in any Option
Agreement may be rescinded, modified or waived by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, at any time and from time to time after the date of grant of such
Option.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no Option shall be
exercisable in whole or in part prior to the date the Plan is approved by the
stockholders of the Corporation as provided in Section 6.1 hereof.

                 11.4.   METHOD OF EXERCISE

                 An Option that is exercisable hereunder may be exercised by
delivery to the Corporation on any business day, at its principal office
addressed to the attention of the Committee, of written notice of exercise,
which notice shall specify the number of shares for which the Option is being
exercised, and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of
the shares for which the Option is being exercised.  Payment of the Option
Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option
shall be made, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Option
Agreement pertaining to an Option, (a) in cash or by certified check payable to
the order of the Corporation; (b) through the tender to the Corporation of
shares of Stock, which shares shall be valued, for purposes of determining the
extent to which the Option Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise; or (c) by a combination of the methods described
in Sections 11.4(a) and 11.4(b) hereof; provided, however, that the Committee
may in its discretion impose and set forth in the Option Agreement pertaining
to an Option such limitations or prohibitions on the use of shares of Stock to
exercise Options as it deems appropriate.  Payment in full of the Option Price
need not accompany the written notice of exercise provided the notice directs
that the Stock certificate or certificates for the shares for which the Option
is exercised be delivered to a licensed broker acceptable to the Corporation as
the agent for the individual exercising the Option and, at the time such Stock
certificate or certificates are delivered, the broker tenders to the
Corporation cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the Corporation) equal to
the Option Price plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which
the Corporation may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to
the exercise of the Option.  An attempt to exercise any Option granted
hereunder other than as set forth above shall be invalid and of no force and
effect.  Promptly after the exercise of an Option and the payment in full of
the Option Price of the shares of Stock covered thereby, the individual
exercising the Option shall be entitled to the issuance of a Stock certificate
or certificates evidencing such individual's ownership of such shares.  A





                                       7
<PAGE>   11
separate Stock certificate or certificates shall be issued for any shares
purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option which is an Incentive Stock
Option, which certificate or certificates shall not include any shares which
were purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option which is not an Incentive
Stock Option.  An individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of
the rights of a stockholder until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully
paid and issued to such individual and, except as provided in Section 19
hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

12.              TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS

                 No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee
to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

13.              TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

                 Upon the termination of the employment of an Optionee with the
Corporation, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, other than by reason of the death or
"permanent and total disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e) (3) of
the Code) of such Optionee or for Cause, any Option granted to an Optionee
pursuant to the Plan shall continue to be exercisable only to the extent that
it was exercisable immediately before such termination; provided, however, such
Option shall terminate thirty days after the date of such termination of
employment, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, and such
Optionee shall have no further right to purchase shares of Stock pursuant to
such Option; and provided further, that the Committee may provide, by inclusion
of appropriate language in any Option Agreement, that an Optionee may (subject
to the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 11.3 hereof), in
the event of termination of employment of the Optionee with the Corporation, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate, exercise an Option, in whole or in part, at any
time subsequent to such termination of employment and prior to termination of
the Option pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, either subject to or without regard
to any installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 11.3
hereof, as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine
and set forth in the Option Agreement.  Upon the termination of the employment
of an Optionee with the Corporation, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate for Cause,
any Option granted to an Optionee pursuant to the Plan shall terminate and such
Optionee shall have no further right to purchase shares of Stock pursuant to
such Option; and provided however, that the Committee may provide, by inclusion
of appropriate language in any Option Agreement, that an Optionee may (subject
to the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 11.3 hereof), in
the event of termination of employment of the Optionee with the Corporation, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate for Cause, exercise an Option, in whole or in part,
at any time subsequent to such termination of employment and prior to





                                       8
<PAGE>   12
termination of the Option pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, either subject to or
without regard to any installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to
Section 11.3 hereof, as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall determine and set forth in the Option Agreement.  Whether a leave of
absence or leave on military or government service shall constitute a
termination of employment for purposes of the Plan shall be determined by the
Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive.  For purposes of
the Plan, a termination of employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary
shall not be deemed to occur if the Optionee is immediately thereafter employed
with the Corporation or any other Subsidiary.

14.              RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY

                 14.1.   DEATH

                 If an Optionee dies while employed by the Corporation, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate or within the period following the termination of
employment during which the Option is exercisable under Section 13 or 14.2
hereof, the executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of such
Optionee's estate shall have the right (subject to the general limitations on
exercise set forth in Section 11.3 hereof), at any time within 180 days after
the date of such Optionee's death and prior to termination of the Option
pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option
held by such Optionee at the date of such Optionee's death, to the extent such
Option was exercisable immediately prior to such Optionee's death; provided,
however, that the Committee may provide by inclusion of appropriate language in
any Option Agreement that, in the event of the death of an Optionee, the
executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of such Optionee's estate
may exercise an Option (subject to the general limitations on exercise set
forth in Section 11.3 hereof), in whole or in part, at any time subsequent to
such Optionee's death and prior to termination of the Option pursuant to
Section 11.1 hereof, either subject to or without regard to any installment
limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof, as the
Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine and set forth
in the Option Agreement.

                 14.2.   DISABILITY

                 If an Optionee terminates employment with the Corporation, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate by reason of the "permanent and total disability"
(within the meaning of Section 22(e) (3) of the Code) of such Optionee, then
such Optionee shall have the right (subject to the general limitations on
exercise set forth in Section 11.3 hereof), at any time within 180 days after
such termination of employment and prior to termination of the Option pursuant
to Section 11.1 hereof, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option held by
such Optionee at the date of such termination of employment, to the extent such
Option was exercisable





                                       9
<PAGE>   13
immediately prior to such termination of employment; provided, however, that
the Committee may provide, by inclusion of appropriate language in any Option
Agreement, that an Optionee may (subject to the general limitations on exercise
set forth in Section 11.3 hereof), in the event of the termination of
employment of the Optionee with the Corporation or a Subsidiary by reason of
the "permanent and total disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code) of such Optionee, exercise an Option, in whole or in part, at any
time subsequent to such termination of employment and prior to termination of
the Option pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, either subject to or without regard
to any installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 11.3
hereof, as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine
and set forth in the Option Agreement.  Whether a termination of employment is
to be considered by reason of "permanent and total disability" for purposes of
the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, which determination shall be
final and conclusive.

15.              USE OF PROCEEDS

                 The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of
Stock pursuant to Options granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds
of the Corporation.

16.              SECURITIES LAWS

                 The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any
shares of Stock under any Option if the sale or issuance of such shares would
constitute a violation by the individual exercising the Option or by the
Corporation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including, without limitation, any federal or state securities laws
or regulations.  If at any time the Corporation shall determine, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares
subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or under any state or
federal law, or the consent of any government regulatory body, is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of
shares, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Corporation,
and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of
the Option.  Specifically in connection with the Securities Act, upon exercise
of any Option, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in
effect with respect to the shares of Stock covered by such Option, the
Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue such shares unless the
Corporation has received evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that the
Optionee may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act.  Any determination in this connection by the
Corporation shall be final and conclusive.  The Corporation may, but shall in
no event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby





                                       10
<PAGE>   14
pursuant to the Securities Act.  The Corporation shall not be obligated to take
any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or the
issuance of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any
governmental authority.  As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the
requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable unless and until the shares
of Stock covered by such Option are registered or are subject to an available
exemption from registration, the exercise of such Option (under circumstances
in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon
the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such an
exemption.

17.              EXCHANGE ACT: RULE 16B-3

                 17.1.   GENERAL

                 The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 ("Rule 16b-3")
(and any successor thereto) under the Exchange Act.  Any provision inconsistent
with Rule 16b-3 shall, to the extent permitted by law and determined to be
advisable by the Committee (constituted in accordance with Section 17.2
hereof), be inoperative and void.

                 17.2.   COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

                 The Committee appointed in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof
shall consist of not fewer than two members of the Board each of whom shall
qualify (at the time of appointment to the Committee and during all periods of
service on the Committee) in all respects as a "non-employee director" as
defined in Rule 16b-3.

                 17.3.   RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OF STOCK

                 No director, officer or other "insider" of the Corporation
subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to sell Stock
(which such "insider" had received upon exercise of an Option) during the six
months immediately following the grant of such Option.

18.              AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

                 The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend,
suspend or terminate the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which Options
have not been granted; provided, however, that no amendment by the Board shall,
without approval by a majority of the votes cast at a duly held meeting of the
stockholders of the Corporation at which a quorum representing a majority of
all outstanding stock is present, either in person or by proxy, and voting on
the amendment, or by written consent in accordance with applicable state law
and the Certificate of Incorporation





                                       11
<PAGE>   15
and By-Laws of the Corporation, materially change the requirements as to
eligibility to receive Options or increase the maximum number of shares of
Stock in the aggregate that may be sold pursuant to Options granted under the
Plan (except as permitted under Section 19 hereof).  The Corporation also may
retain the right in an Option Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the shares or
gain realized by an Optionee on account of the Optionee taking actions in
"competition with the Corporation," as defined in the applicable Option
Agreement.  Furthermore, the Corporation may, in the Option Agreement, retain
the right to annul the grant of an Option if the holder of such grant was an
employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary and is terminated "for cause," as
defined in the applicable Option Agreement.  Except as permitted under Section
19 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without
the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair rights or obligations under any
Option theretofore granted under the Plan.

19.              EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

                 19.1    CHANGES IN STOCK

                 If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or
decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares
or other securities of the Corporation by reason of any recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares, exchange of shares,
stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other
increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of consideration
by the Corporation, occurring after the effective date of the Plan, a
proportionate and appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Corporation in
the number and kind of shares for which Options are outstanding, so that the
proportionate interest of the Optionee immediately following such event shall,
to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately prior to such event.  Any
such adjustment in outstanding Options shall not change the aggregate Option
Price payable with respect to shares subject to the unexercised portion of the
Option outstanding but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment
in the Option Price per share.

                 19.2.   REORGANIZATION WITH CORPORATION SURVIVING

                 Subject to Section 19.3 hereof, if the Corporation shall be
the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger or consolidation of the
Corporation with one or more other entities, any Option theretofore granted
pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a
holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Option would have been
entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger or consolidation,
with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Option Price per share so
that the aggregate Option Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate
Option Price of the shares remaining





                                       12
<PAGE>   16
subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
consolidation.

                 19.3.   OTHER REORGANIZATIONS; SALE OF ASSETS OR STOCK
 
                 Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or
upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Corporation with one or
more other entities in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity, or
upon a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another
entity, or upon any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger or
reorganization in which the Corporation is the surviving entity) approved by
the Board that results in any person or entity (other than persons who are
holders of stock of the Corporation at the time the Plan is approved by the
Stockholders and other than an Affiliate) owning 80 percent or more of the
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation, the Plan and
all Options outstanding hereunder shall terminate, except to the extent
provision is made in connection with such transaction for the continuation of
the Plan and/or the assumption of the Options theretofore granted, or for the
substitution for such Options of new options covering the stock of a successor
entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to
the number and kinds of shares and exercise prices, in which event the Plan and
Options theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so
provided.  In the event of any such termination of the Plan, each Optionee
shall have the right (subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth
in Section 11.3 hereof and except as otherwise specifically provided in the
Option Agreement relating to such Option), immediately prior to the occurrence
of such termination and during such period occurring prior to such termination
as the Committee in its sole discretion shall designate, to exercise such
Option in whole or in part, to the extent such Option was otherwise exercisable
at the time such termination occurs, but subject to any additional provisions
that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, include in any Option
Agreement.  The Committee shall send written notice of an event that will
result in such a termination to all Optionees not later than the time at which
the Corporation gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

                 19.4.   ADJUSTMENTS

                 Adjustments under this Section 19 relating to stock or
securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Committee, whose
determination in that respect shall be final and conclusive.  No fractional
shares of Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any
such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or
unit.





                                       13
<PAGE>   17
                 19.5.   NO LIMITATIONS ON CORPORATION

                 The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect
or limit in any way the right or power of the Corporation to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

20.              WITHHOLDING

                 The Corporation or a Subsidiary may be obligated to withhold
federal and local income taxes and Social Security taxes to the extent that an
Optionee realizes ordinary income in connection with the exercise of an Option.
The Corporation or a Subsidiary may withhold amounts needed to cover such taxes
from payments otherwise due and owing to an Optionee, and upon demand the
Optionee will promptly pay to the Corporation or a Subsidiary having such
obligation any additional amounts as may be necessary to satisfy such
withholding tax obligation.  Such payment shall be made in cash or cash
equivalents.

21.              DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS

                 No provision in the Plan or in any Option granted or Option
Agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan shall be construed to confer upon
any individual the right to remain in the employ of the Corporation or any
Subsidiary, or to interfere in any way with the right and authority of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary either to increase or decrease the compensation
of any individual at any time, or to terminate any employment or other
relationship between any individual and the Corporation or any Subsidiary.  The
obligation of the Corporation to pay any benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be
interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described
herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein.  The Plan
shall in no way be interpreted to require the Corporation to transfer any
amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or
escrow for payment to any participant or beneficiary under the terms of the
Plan.

22.              NONEXCLUSIVITY

                 Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the
Plan to the stockholders of the Corporation for approval shall be construed as
creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt
such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be
applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or
specifically to a particular individual or individuals) as the Board in its
discretion determines desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of
stock options otherwise than under the Plan.

23.              GOVERNING LAW.

                 This Plan and all Options to be granted hereunder shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (but not including the choice of
law rules thereof).

                 The Plan was duly adopted and approved by the Board on 
August 26, 1996 and was duly approved by the stockholders of the Corporation on
August 26, 1996.

                            LCC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN


         The Board of Directors of LCC International, Inc. (the "Company") has
adopted this Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") to enable eligible
employees of the Company and its participating Affiliates (as defined below),
through payroll deductions, to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock").  The Plan is for
the benefit of the employees of LCC International, Inc. and any participating
Affiliates.  The Plan is intended to benefit the Company by increasing the
employees' interest in the Company's growth and success and encouraging
employees to remain in the employ of the Company or its participating
Affiliates.  The provisions of the Plan are set forth below:

1.       SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

         Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 25 below, the aggregate
number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be made available for
purchase by participating employees under the Plan is 360,000.  The shares
issuable under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board"), be either authorized but unissued shares or treasury
shares.

2.       ADMINISTRATION.

         The Plan shall be administered under the direction of the Compensation
Committee of the Board (the "Committee").  No member of the Board or the
Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith
with respect to the Plan.

3.       INTERPRETATION.

         It is intended that the Plan will meet the requirements for an
"employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 (the "Code"), and it is to be so applied and interpreted.  Subject to
the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority to
interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to it, and
to make all other determinations necessary or advisable in administering the
Plan, all of which determinations will be final and binding upon all persons.

4.       ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES.

         Any employee of the Company or any of its participating Affiliates may
participate in the Plan, except the following, who are ineligible to
participate:  (a) an employee who has been employed by the Company or any of
its participating Affiliates for less than six months as of the beginning of a
Payroll Deduction Period;





                                    - 1 -
<PAGE>   5
(b) an employee whose customary employment is for less than five months in any
calendar year; (c) an employee whose customary employment is 20 hours or less
per week; and (d) an  employee who, after exercising his or her rights to
purchase shares under the Plan, would own shares of Class A Common Stock
(including shares that may be acquired under any outstanding options)
representing five percent or more of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company.  The term "participating Affiliate" means any
company or other trade or business that is a subsidiary of the Company
(determined in accordance with the principles of Sections 424(e) and (f) of the
Code and the regulations thereunder).  The Board may at any time in its sole
discretion, if it deems it advisable to do so, terminate the participation of
the employees of a particular participating Affiliate.

5.       PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

         An eligible employee may become a participating employee in the Plan
by completing an election to participate in the Plan on a form provided by the
Company and submitting that form to the Payroll Department of the Company.  The
form will authorize payroll deductions (as provided in Section 6 below) and
authorize the purchase of shares of Class A Common Stock for the employee's
account in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  Enrollment will become
effective upon the first day of the first Payroll Deduction Period.

6.       PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS.

         At the time an eligible employee submits his or her election to
participate in the Plan (as provided in Section 5 above), the employee shall
elect to have deductions made from his or her pay, on each pay day following
his or her enrollment in the Plan, and for as long as he or she shall
participate in the Plan.  The deductions will be credited to the participating
employee's account under the Plan.  An employee may not during any Payroll
Deduction Period change his or her percentage of payroll deduction for that
Payroll Deduction Period, nor may an employee withdraw any contributed funds,
other than in accordance with Sections 13 through 19 below.

7.       RIGHTS TO PURCHASE CLASS A COMMON STOCK; PURCHASE PRICE.

         Rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock will be deemed
granted to participating employees as of the first trading day of each Payroll
Deduction Period.  The purchase price of each share of Class A Common Stock
(the "Purchase Price") shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however,
the Purchase Price shall not be less than the lesser of 85 percent of the fair
market value of the Class A Common Stock (i) on the first trading day of the
Payroll Deduction Period or (ii) on the last trading day of such Payroll
Deduction Period; provided, further, that in no event shall the Purchase Price
be less than the par value of the Class A





                                    - 2 -
<PAGE>   6
Common Stock.  For purposes of the Plan, "fair market value" means the value of
each share of Class A Common Stock subject to the Plan determined as follows:
if on the determination date the shares of Class A Common Stock are listed on
an established national or regional stock exchange, are admitted to quotation
on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System,
or are publicly traded on an established securities market, the fair market
value of the shares of Class A Common Stock shall be the closing price of the
shares of Class A Common Stock on such exchange or in such market  (the highest
such closing price if there is more than one such exchange or market) on the
trading day immediately preceding the determination date (or if there is no
such reported closing price, the fair market value shall be the mean between
the highest bid and lowest asked prices or between the high and low sale prices
on such trading day) or, if no sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock is
reported for such trading day, on the next preceding day on which any sale
shall have been reported.  If the shares of Class A Common Stock are not listed
on such an exchange, quoted on such System or traded on such a market, fair
market value shall be determined by the Board in good faith.

8.       TIMING OF PURCHASE; PURCHASE LIMITATION.

         Unless a participating employee has given prior written notice
terminating such employee's participation in the Plan, or the employee's
participation in the Plan has otherwise been terminated as provided in Sections
14 through 19 below, such employee will be deemed to have exercised
automatically his or her right to purchase Class A Common Stock on the last
trading day of the Payroll Deduction Period (except as provided in Section 13
below) for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which the accumulated
funds in the employee's account at that time will purchase at the Purchase
Price, subject to the participation adjustment provided for in Section 12 below
and subject to adjustment under Section 25 below.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, no employee may purchase in any one calendar year under
the Plan and all other "employee stock purchase plans" of the Company and its
participating Affiliates shares of Class A Common Stock having an aggregate
fair market value in excess of $25,000, determined as of the first trading date
of the Payroll Deduction Period as to shares purchased during such period.
Effective upon the last trading day of the Payroll Deduction Period, a
participating employee will become a stockholder with respect to the shares
purchased during such period, and will thereupon have all dividend, voting and
other ownership rights incident thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
shares shall be sold pursuant to the Plan unless the Plan is approved by the
Company's stockholders in accordance with Section 24 below.

9.       ISSUANCE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES.

         On the last trading day of the Payroll Deduction Period, a
participating employee will be credited with the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock purchased for his or her account under the Plan during such
Payroll Deduction





                                    - 3 -
<PAGE>   7
Period.  Shares purchased under the Plan will be held in the custody of an
agent (the "Agent") appointed by the Board of Directors.  The Agent may hold
the shares purchased under the Plan in stock certificates in nominee names and
may commingle shares held in its custody in a single account or stock
certificate without identification as to individual participating employees.  A
participating employee may, at any time following his or her purchase of shares
under the Plan, by written notice instruct the Agent to have all or part of
such shares reissued in the participating employee's own name and have the
stock certificate delivered to the employee.

10.      WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

         To the extent that a participating employee realizes  ordinary income
in connection with a sale or other transfer of any shares of Class A Common
Stock purchased under the Plan, the Company may withhold amounts needed to
cover such taxes from any payments otherwise due and owing to the participating
employee or from shares that would otherwise be issued to the participating
employee hereunder.  Any participating employee who sells or otherwise
transfers shares purchased under the Plan within two years after the beginning
of the Payroll Deduction Period in which the shares were purchased must within
30 days of such transfer notify the Payroll Department of the Company in
writing of such transfer.

11.      ACCOUNT STATEMENTS.

         The Company will cause the Agent to deliver to each participating
employee a statement for each Payroll Deduction Period during which the
employee purchases Class A Common Stock under the Plan, reflecting the amount
of payroll deductions during the Payroll Deduction Period, the number of shares
purchased for the employee's account, the price per share of the shares
purchased for the employee's account and the number of shares held for the
employee's account at the end of the Payroll Deduction Period.

12.      PARTICIPATION ADJUSTMENT.

         If in any Payroll Deduction Period the number of unsold shares that
may be made available for purchase under the Plan pursuant to Section 1 above
is insufficient to permit exercise of all rights deemed exercised by all
participating employees pursuant to Section 8 above, a participation adjustment
will be made, and the number of shares purchasable by all participating
employees will be reduced proportionately.  Any funds then remaining in a
participating employee's account after such exercise will be refunded to the
employee.

13.      CHANGES IN ELECTIONS TO PURCHASE.

         (a)  A participating employee (other than a participating employee who
is an executive officer of the Company who is subject to Section 16(b) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act")) may, at
any time prior to the last day of the Payroll Deduction Period, by written
notice to the Company, direct the Company to cease payroll deductions (or, if
the payment for shares is being made through periodic cash payments, notify the
Company that such payments will be terminated), in accordance with the
following alternatives:

                 (i)  The employee's option to purchase shall be reduced to the
number of shares which may be purchased, as of the last day of the Payroll
Deduction Period, with the amount then credited to the employee's account; or

                 (ii)  Withdraw the amount in such employee's account and
terminate such employee's option to purchase.

         (b)     Any participating employee may increase or decrease his or her
payroll deduction or periodic cash payments, to take effect on the first day of
the next Payroll Deduction Period, by delivering to the Company a new form
regarding election to participate in the Plan under Section 5 above.


14.      VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR DISCHARGE.

         In the event a participating employee (other than a participating
employee who is an executive officer of the Company  who is subject to Section
16(b) under the Exchange Act) voluntarily leaves the employ of the Company or a
participating Affiliate, otherwise than by retirement under a plan of the
Company or a participating Affiliate, or is discharged prior to the last day of
the Payroll Deduction Period, the amount in the employee's account will be
distributed and the employee's option to purchase will terminate.  In the event
a participating employee who is subject to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act
voluntarily leaves the employ of the Company or a participating Affiliate,
otherwise than by retirement under a plan of the Company or a participating
Affiliate, or is discharged prior to the last day of the Payroll Deduction
Period, the employee's option to purchase shall be reduced to the number of
shares which may be purchased, as of the last day of the Payroll Deduction
Period, with the amount then credited to the employee's account.

15.      RETIREMENT.

         In the event a participating employee (other than a participating
employee who is an officer of the Company who is subject to Section 16(b) under
the Exchange Act) who has an option to purchase shares leaves the employ of the
Company or a participating Affiliate because of retirement under a plan of the





                                    - 5 -
<PAGE>   9
Company or a participating Affiliate, the participating employee may elect,
within 10 days after the date of such retirement, one of the following
alternatives:

         (a)  The employee's option to purchase shall be reduced to the number
of shares which may be purchased, as of the last day of the Payroll Deduction
Period, with the amount then credited to the employee's account; or

         (b)  Withdraw the amount in such employee's account and terminate such
employee's option to purchase.

         In the event the participating employee does not make an election
within the aforesaid 10-day period, he or she will be deemed to have elected
subsection 15(b) above; provided, however, that a participating employee who is
an officer of the Company who is subject to Section 16(b) under the Exchange
Act will receive shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to subsection 16(a).

16.      LAY-OFF, AUTHORIZED LEAVE OR ABSENCE OR DISABILITY.

         Payroll deductions for shares for which a participating employee has
an option to purchase may be suspended during any period of absence of the
employee from work due to lay-off, authorized leave of absence or disability
or, if the employee so elects, periodic payments for such shares may continue
to be made in cash provided, however, that if such employee is an officer of
the Company who is subject to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, such
periodic payments must be continued in cash.

         If such employee returns to active service prior to the last day of
the Payroll Deduction Period, the employee's payroll deductions will be resumed
and if said employee did not make periodic cash payments during the employee's
period of absence, the employee shall, by written notice to the Company's
Payroll Department within 10 days after the employee's return to active
service, but not later than the last day of the Payroll Deduction Period,
elect:

         (a)     To make up any deficiency in the employee's account resulting
from a suspension of payroll deductions by an immediate cash payment;

         (b)     Not to make up such deficiency, in which event the number of
shares to be purchased by the employee shall be reduced to the number of whole
shares which may be purchased with the amount, if any, then credited to the
employee's account plus the aggregate amount, if any, of all payroll deductions
to be made thereafter; or

         (c)     Withdraw the amount in the employee's account and terminate
the employee's option to purchase.





                                    - 6 -
<PAGE>   10
         A participating employee on lay-off, authorized leave of absence or
disability on the last day of the Payroll Deduction Period shall deliver
written notice to his or her employer on or before the last day of the Payroll
Deduction Period, electing one of the alternatives provided in the foregoing
clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 16.  If any employee fails to deliver
such written notice within 10 days after the employee's return to active
service or by the last day of the Payroll Deduction Period, whichever is
earlier, the employee shall be deemed to have elected subsection 16(c) above.

         If the period of a participating employee's lay-off, authorized leave
of absence or disability shall terminate on or before the last day of the
Payroll Deduction Period, and the employee shall not resume active employment
with the Company or a participating Affiliate, the employee shall receive a
distribution in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of this Plan.


17.      DEATH.

         In the event of the death of a participating employee while the
employee's option to purchase shares is in effect, the legal representatives of
such employee may, within three months after the employee's death (but no later
than the last day of the Payroll Deduction Period) by written notice to the
Company or participating Affiliate, elect one of the following alternatives:

         (a)  The employee's option to purchase shall be reduced to the number
of shares which may be purchased, as of the last day of the Payroll Deduction
Period, with the amount then credited to the employee's account; or

         (b)  Withdraw the amount in such employee's account and terminate such
employee's option to purchase.

         In the event the legal representatives of such employee fail to
deliver such written notice to the Company or participating Affiliate within
the prescribed period, the election to purchase shares shall terminate and the
amount, then credited to the employee's account shall be paid to such legal
representatives; provided, however, that the estate of a participating employee
who is an officer of the Company who is subject to Section 16(b) under the
Exchange Act will receive shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to subsection
17(a).





                                    - 7 -
<PAGE>   11
18.      FAILURE TO MAKE PERIODIC CASH PAYMENTS.

         Under any of the circumstances contemplated by this Plan,  where the
purchase of shares is to be made through periodic cash payments in lieu of
payroll deductions, the failure to make any such payments shall reduce, to the
extent of the deficiency in such payments, the number of shares purchasable
under this Plan.


19.      TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION.

         A participating employee will be refunded all moneys in his or her
account, and his or her participation in the Plan will be terminated if either
(a) the Board elects to terminate the Plan as provided in Section 24 below, or
(b) the employee ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan under Section
4 above.  As soon as practicable following termination of an employee's
participation in the Plan, the Company will deliver to the employee a check
representing the amount in the employee's account and a stock certificate
representing the number of whole shares held in the employee's account.  Once
terminated, participation may not be reinstated for the then current Payroll
Deduction Period, but, if otherwise eligible, the employee may elect to
participate in any subsequent Payroll Deduction Period.

20.      ASSIGNMENT.

         No participating employee may assign his or her rights to purchase
shares of Class A Common Stock under the Plan, whether voluntarily, by
operation of law or otherwise.  Any payment of cash or issuance of shares of
Class A Common Stock under the Plan may be made only to the participating
employee (or, in the event of the employee's death, to the employee's estate).
Once a stock certificate has been issued to the employee or for his or her
account, such certificate may be assigned the same as any other stock
certificate.

21.      APPLICATION OF FUNDS.

         All funds received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used
for any corporate purpose until applied to the purchase of Class A Common Stock
and/or refunded to participating employees.  Participating employees' accounts
will not be segregated nor will participating employees be entitled to receive
interest with respect to any such funds.





                                    - 8 -
<PAGE>   12
22.      NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT.

         Neither the Plan nor any right to purchase Class A Common Stock under
the Plan confers upon any employee any right to continued employment with the
Company or any of its participating Affiliates, nor will an employee's
participation in the Plan restrict or interfere in any way with the right of
the Company or any of its participating Affiliates to terminate the employee's
employment at any time.

23.      AMENDMENT OF PLAN.

         The Board may, at any time, amend the Plan in any respect (including
an increase in the percentage specified in Section 7 above used in calculating
the Purchase Price); provided, however, that without approval of the
stockholders of the Company no amendment shall be made (a) increasing the
number of shares specified in Section 1 above that may be made available for
purchase under the Plan (except as provided in Section 25 below), (b) changing
the eligibility requirements for participating in the Plan, or (c) impairing
the vested rights of participating employees.

24.      EFFECTIVE DATE; TERM AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

         The Plan shall be effective as of the date of adoption by the Board,
which date is set forth below, subject to approval of the Plan by a majority of
the votes present and entitled to vote at a duly held meeting of the
shareholders of the Company at which a quorum representing a majority of all
outstanding voting stock is present, either in person or by proxy; provided,
however, that upon approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company as
set forth above, all rights to purchase shares granted under the Plan on or
after the effective date shall be fully effective as if the shareholders of the
Company had approved the Plan on the effective date.  If the shareholders fail
to approve the Plan on or before one year after the effective date, the Plan
shall terminate, any rights to purchase shares granted hereunder shall be null
and void and of no effect, and all contributed funds shall be refunded to
participating employees.  The Board may terminate the Plan at any time and for
any reason or for no reason, provided that such termination shall not impair
any rights of participating employees that have vested at the time of
termination.  In any event, the Plan shall, without further action of the
Board, terminate ten (10) years after the date of adoption of the Plan by the
Board or, if earlier, at such time as all shares of Class A Common Stock that
may be made available for purchase under the Plan pursuant to Section 1 above
have been issued.

25.      EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

         (a)     CHANGES IN STOCK.

         If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is
increased or decreased or the shares of Class A Common Stock are changed into
or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of
the Company by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split,
reverse split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend, or
other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in
such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring
after the effective date of the Plan, the number and kinds of shares that may
be purchased under the Plan shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly
by the Company.  In addition, the number and kind of shares for which rights
are outstanding shall be similarly adjusted so that the proportionate interest
of a participating employee immediately following such event shall, to the
extent practicable, be the same as immediately prior to such event.  Any such
adjustment in outstanding rights shall not change the aggregate Purchase Price
payable by a participating employee with respect to shares subject to such
rights, but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the
Purchase Price per share.

         (b)     REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE COMPANY IS THE SURVIVING
                 CORPORATION.

         Subject to Subsection (c) of this Section 25, if the Company shall be
the surviving corporation in any reorganization, merger or consolidation of the
Company with one or more other corporations, all outstanding rights under the
Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the
number of  shares of Class A Common Stock subject to such rights would have
been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger or
consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Purchase
Price per share so that the aggregate Purchase Price thereafter shall be the
same as the aggregate Purchase Price of the shares subject to such rights
immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation.

         (c)     REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE COMPANY IS NOT THE SURVIVING
                 CORPORATION OR SALE OF ASSETS OR STOCK.

         Upon any dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a merger,
consolidation or reorganization of the Company with one or more other
corporations in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or upon a
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another
corporation, or upon any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger

person or entity owning more than 80 percent of the combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company, the Plan and all rights outstanding
hereunder shall terminate, except to the extent provision is made in writing in
connection with such transaction for the continuation of the Plan and/or the
assumption of the rights theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such
rights of new rights covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent
or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds
of shares and exercise prices, in which event the Plan and rights theretofore
granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.  In the
event of any such termination of the Plan, the Payroll Deduction Period shall
be deemed to have ended on the last trading day prior to such termination, and
in accordance with Section 9 above the rights of each participating employee
then outstanding shall be deemed to be automatically exercised on such last
trading day.  The Board shall send written notice of an event that will result
in such a termination to all participating employees not later than the time at
which the Company gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

         (d)     ADJUSTMENTS.

         Adjustments under this Section 25 related to stock or securities of
the Company shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

         (e)     NO LIMITATIONS ON COMPANY.

         The grant of a right pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in
any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

26.      GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION.

         The Company's obligation to issue, sell and deliver shares of Class A
Common Stock pursuant to the Plan is subject to such approval of any
governmental authority and any national securities exchange or other market
quotation system as may be  required in connection with the authorization,
issuance or sale of such shares.

27.      STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.

         Any dividends paid on shares held by the Company for a participating
employee's account will be transmitted to the employee.  The Company will
deliver to each participating employee who purchases shares of Class A Common
Stock under the Plan, as promptly as practicable by mail or otherwise, all
notices of





                                    - 11 -
<PAGE>   15
meetings, proxy statements, proxies and other materials distributed by the
Company to its stockholders.  Any shares of Class A Common Stock held by the
Agent for an employee's account will be voted in accordance with the employee's
duly delivered and signed proxy instructions.  There will be no charge to
participating employees in connection with such notices, proxies and other
materials.

28.      RULE 16B-3.

         Transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all
applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or any successor provision under the
Exchange Act.  If any provision of the Plan or action by the Board fails to so
comply, it shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by law and
deemed advisable by the Board.  Moreover, in the event the Plan does not
include a provision required by Rule 16b-3 to be stated herein, such provision
(other than one relating to eligibility requirements, or the price and amount
of awards) shall be deemed automatically to be incorporated by reference into
the Plan.

29.      PAYMENT OF PLAN EXPENSES.

         The Company will bear all costs of administering and carrying out the
Plan.

                                  *    *    *

                                                                   Exhibit 10.18




                                   AGREEMENT


          This Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of the 12th day of
March, 1996, by and between NextWave Telecom, Inc., a Delaware corporation with
its principal place of business located at 991-C Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite
No. 436, Solana Beach, California 92075 ("NextWave"), and LCC, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business located
at 2300 Clarendon Blvd., Suite 800, Arlington, Virginia 22201 ("LCC").

          WHEREAS, NextWave, through its wholly-owned subsidiary NextWave
Personal Communications, Inc. ("NextWave PCI") is actively bidding on the
C-block licenses in the Federal Communication Commission's ("FCC's") auction
for licenses to construct and operate systems in various BTAs to provide
personal communications services ("Licenses"), and

          WHEREAS, if NextWave acquires one or more Licenses, NextWave intends
to construct facilities and deploy personal communications systems in those
BTAs, and

          WHEREAS, LCC has agreed to make an equity investment in NextWave,
consisting of LCC's purchase of $5,000,000.00 worth of NextWave Series B Common
Stock, in consideration of NextWave's commitment to engage LCC to provide not
less than $50,000,000.00 worth of radio frequency engineering services, program
management services, and software and equipment;

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, LCC and NextWave,
intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

          1.     RF Engineering Services; Engagement.  NextWave hereby agrees
to engage LCC, during the five (5) year period commencing on the date hereof,
to provide radio frequency engineering services, of the type generally offered
by LCC ("RF Engineering Services"), required by NextWave and/or its Affiliates
in connection with the design, implementation and/or optimization of personal
communications systems by or for NextWave and/or its Affiliates in the United
States resulting in NextWave's payment to LCC of not less than Fourteen Million
Dollars ($14,000,000.00) (the "Minimum RF Amount") in hourly engineering
service fees ("Engineering Fees").  For the purposes of this Agreement: (A) RF
Engineering Services shall not include microwave relocation services and/or any
other services that the parties agree, by mutual prior written agreement,
should not be included in RF





<PAGE>   2



Engineering Services, and (B) Engineering Fees shall include only hourly
engineering service fees (e.g., labor charges) and shall exclude any amounts
paid for expense reimbursements, drive testing, per diems (in accordance with
US government standards) and similar expenses.

          2.     RF Engineering Services; Exclusivity.

          (a) In addition NextWave hereby agrees, until LCC shall have been
paid the Minimum RF Amount, to use LCC as the exclusive provider of all RF
Engineering Services required by NextWave and/or its Affiliates in connection
with the design, implementation and/or optimization of personal communications
systems by or for NextWave and/or its Affiliates in the United States, except
for: (i) those services provided by NextWave's and/or its Affiliate's
employees, (ii) services provided by: (A) small, independent consulting firms
and/or independent contractors on a local basis, from time to time, or (B)
services that may be provided by firms otherwise engaged by NextWave to provide
non-radio frequency engineering services, where the firm's employees are
assigned to a market and may perform incidental radio frequency engineering
services, on a limited basis, when they are unable to perform their principal
services due to lack of work or "down-time," provided that: (I) services
provided under (ii) do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total RF Engineering
Services required by NextWave and/or its Affiliates, and (II) in no event shall
NextWave engage the services of Mobile Systems International, Comsearch (except
for microwave relocation services and related tools), MLI, Celtec, TEC
Communications, WFI or any affiliate thereof.

          (b) Following LCC's being paid the Minimum RF Amount, NextWave shall
thereafter use LCC as its "preferred provider" of radio frequency engineering
services required by NextWave and/or its Affiliates in connection with the
design, implementation and/or optimization of personal communications systems
in the United States.  LCC shall be an approved provider of RF Engineering
Services required by NextWave and/or its Affiliates in connection with the same
activities outside of the United States, and shall, with respect to all
projects put out to bid, be granted the opportunity to bid for the provision of
such services on terms no less favorable than the terms offered to other
service providers.

          (c) Prior to LCC's being engaged to perform RF Engineering Services
in any given market, the parties shall develop a mutually acceptable statement
of work which describes the particular project in terms of work to be
performed, a schedule of project milestones and the expected budget for the
work.  To the extent that LCC consistently and materially fails to meet: (i)
the pre-agreed work schedule due to LCC's inability to provide the required
staffing for the relevant market, or (ii) the project milestones for the





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   3



work, NextWave shall have the option, unless the nonperformance was caused for
reasons beyond LCC's direct and immediate control, to terminate LCC's
engagement with respect to the relevant portion of such services, after having
provided LCC with written notice of default and 30 days to cure, and procure
alternative services from another service provider notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 2(a) and 2(b) above.  Nothing in this Section 2(c)
(including, without limitation, the party's failure to agree upon a statement
of work) shall operate to limit or reduce NextWave's obligation to pay the
Minimum RF Amount.

          3.  Program Management Services.

          (a) NextWave hereby agrees to engage LCC, during the five (5) year
period commencing on the date hereof, to provide program management services
(including, without limitation, site acquisition and construction management
services, but exclusive of RF Engineering Services), of the type generally
offered by LCC ("PM Services"), required by NextWave and/or its Affiliates in
connection with the design, implementation and/or optimization of personal
communications systems by or for NextWave and/or its Affiliates in the United
States resulting in NextWave's payment to LCC of not less than [
                               ] (the "Minimum PM Amount") in program
management service fees ("PM Fees").  Unless otherwise specified herein, for
the purposes of this Agreement: (A) PM Services shall not include network
engineering services, the installation of base station equipment (e.g., BTS,
BSC and MSC) and/or any other services that the parties agree, by mutual prior
written agreement, will not be included in PM Services, and (B) PM Fees shall
include only hourly program management service fees (e.g., labor charges) and
shall exclude all construction costs, contracted labor and materials, expense
reimbursements (e.g., warehousing, local office space, etc.), per diems (in
accordance with US government standards), Engineering Fees and similar
expenses.  If LCC requires the use of LCC's CellManager work flow management
software in connection with LCC's provision of PM Services, then the PM Fees
shall include any license costs associated with LCC's use of CellManager to
perform such services.  In the event that NextWave desires to license
CellManager from LCC (so that NextWave has the opportunity to use and/or keep
the software after LCC has completed its services) LCC agrees to extend
NextWave LCC's most favorable pricing for similarly situated customers of LCC.

          (b) LCC and NextWave hereby agree that the target average nationwide
cost per cell site of PM Fees for PM Services to be provided by LCC to NextWave
pursuant to this Agreement (until the Minimum PM Amount has been paid to LCC)
shall not exceed [       ] (inclusive of per diems); provided, however, that for
purposes of this Section 3(b) only: (i) PM





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4



Services shall include site acquisition, architectural engineering,
construction management and program management services; and (ii) PM Fees shall
include only hourly program management service fees and per diems and shall
exclude all construction costs, contracted labor and materials, local market
expense reimbursements (e.g., warehousing and related asset management systems,
local office space and furnishings, telephone expense, etc.), Engineering Fees
and similar expenses.  This target assumes that: (A) the PM Services to be
provided will be limited to those listed in clause (i) of the preceding
sentence; (B) that each NextWave market build-out will have an average length
of 18 months commencing upon the delivery of an executed agreement between
NextWave and LCC for PM Services to be provided in the particular market; and
(iii) no unforeseen events shall occur that cause the provision of PM Services
generally within the United States to become materially more costly to provide.

          (c) The parties acknowledge that the average cost per cell site for
PM Fees set forth in the preceding subsection is based upon a nationwide
average for 200 plus cell site build-outs in an average US market, and the
parties agree to work together, in good faith, to control per site costs in
accordance with NextWave's business plans and objectives as communicated to LCC
from time to time during the term hereof.

          (d) Prior to LCC's being engaged to perform PM Services in any given
market, the parties shall develop a mutually acceptable statement of work which
describes the particular project in terms of the work to be performed, the
specifications for such work, a schedule of project milestones, and the
expected costs or budget for the work.  To the extent that LCC consistently and
materially fails to meet: (i) the pre-agreed work schedule due to LCC's
inability to provide the required staffing for the relevant market, or (ii) the
pre-agreed specifications for the work, NextWave shall have the option, unless
the nonperformance was caused for reasons beyond LCC's direct and immediate
control, to terminate LCC's engagement with respect to the relevant portion of
the services, after having provided LCC with written notice of default and at
least 30 days to cure.  In the event that LCC's engagement with respect to any
services is terminated under the preceding sentence, then the amount of PM Fees
that NextWave would have paid LCC to complete the relevant engagement shall be
subtracted from the Minimum PM Amount.  A failure by the parties to agree upon
a statement of work under this Section 3(d) shall not operate to limit or
reduce the Minimum PM Fees.

          4.     LCC Products.  NextWave hereby agrees to purchase (with
respect to hardware) and/or license (with respect to software) from LCC, during
the five (5) year period commencing on the date hereof, either: (a) LCC
manufactured field test measurement equipment (excluding third





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5



party products), or (b) any one or more of the CellCAD and/or CellManager
software products generally distributed by LCC, resulting in NextWave's payment
to LCC of [                                  ] (the "Minimum Product Amount") in
licensing fees and/or the purchase price of LCC equipment.  NextWave shall,
however, have the option (at its sole discretion) to apply the [
                      ] purchase commitment set forth in this Section 4 to the
purchase of additional RE Engineering Services and/or PM Services.

          5.     Pricing.  LCC hereby agrees that the prices charged to
NextWave for RF Engineering Services and PM Services (excluding third party
charges) shall remain generally competitive with the prices generally charged
for the same services by other comparable (in terms of capabilities,
experience, quality, process and overall service offering) radio frequency
engineering / program management firms for the same (in terms of scope, type
and duration) services, and in all cases such prices shall be no less favorable
than the most favorable prices charged by LCC to any other similarly situated
LCC customer.  For the purposes of comparison, the parties shall consider the
economics of any other products, services or other items of value provided to
NextWave by the relevant entity.

          6.     Performance of Services; Subcontractors.

          (a) LCC shall use reasonable commercial efforts to perform RF
Engineering Services and PM Services in accordance with generally accepted
standards and practices for the wireless communications industry and the
mutually acceptable statements of work agreed to between the parties.  Except
as otherwise provided herein, LCC's sole obligation, and NextWave's sole
remedy, shall be for LCC to re-perform any non-conforming services at no
additional charge.  LCC shall provide NextWave with periodic progress reports
concerning the progress of the RF Engineering Services and PM Services as
reasonably requested by NextWave from time to time.

          (b) The parties acknowledge that LCC intends to use certain of LCC's
contractual affiliates to perform site acquisition, construction management and
site engineering services hereunder, such as Trammel Crow Corporate Services,
Inc., CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc., Koll Telecommunications Services,
L.L.C., Network Building and Consulting, Inc., etc. ("LCC Contractual
Affiliates").  Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the service fees
associated with LCC's engaging LCC Contractual Affiliates to perform site
acquisition, construction management and site engineering services shall be
incorporated in the PM Fees.

          (c) With respect to local contractors engaged by LCC to perform
construction services on a subcontract basis ("Contractors"), NextWave shall





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6



be responsible for reimbursement of: (i) the costs of Contractors, and (ii) all
other expenses incurred by LCC, to the extent such costs or expenses have been
pre-approved by NextWave, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  Each statement of work shall identify and set forth, by type or
amount, all out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., construction costs, warehousing and
related asset management systems, local office space and furnishings, etc.) to
be incurred by LCC in the performance of RF Engineering Services and/or PM
Services.

          7.     Certain Contingencies.  The parties acknowledge that,
concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, LCC has executed and delivered
to NextWave: (i) a Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement"), and
(ii) an Amended and Restated Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement"),
pursuant to which LCC has agreed to purchase shares of NextWave Series B Common
Stock (the "Investment") for a total purchase price of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000.00), subject to certain rights of withdrawal in the event that
NextWave fails to satisfy the contingencies set forth in Section 3(c) and
Exhibit B of the Escrow Agreement.  In the event that LCC totally withdraws the
Investment under one or more of the contingencies set forth in Section 3(c) or
Exhibit B of the Escrow Agreement (and, as a result, fails to become an equity
investor in NextWave), this Agreement shall automatically terminate and neither
party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other party
hereunder.  Capitalized terms used in this Section 7 without definition herein
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Escrow Agreement.

          8.     Confidentiality.  In the event either party hereto (the
"Receiving Party") obtains from the other party hereto (the "Disclosing Party")
any information in whatever form which is confidential or proprietary
including, without limitation, material non-public information relating to the
NextWave system ("Proprietary Information") the Receiving Party: (a) shall
treat all such Proprietary Information as confidential; (b) shall use such
Proprietary Information only for the purposes contemplated in this Agreement;
(c) shall protect such Proprietary Information, whether in storage or in use,
with the same degree of care as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own
proprietary information against public disclosure, but in no case with less
than reasonable care; and (d) shall not disclose such Proprietary Information
to any third party except to such employees of the Receiving Party who need to
know such Proprietary Information for the purpose of effectuating this
Agreement and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such
Proprietary Information.  The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any
Proprietary Information which: (i) was generally available to the public on the
date of disclosure or becomes generally available to the public other than
through the fault or negligence of the Receiving Party; (ii) was lawfully
obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of





                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   7



this Agreement and otherwise not in violation of the Disclosing Party's rights;
(iii) was known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure as shown by
the Receiving Party's records in existence at the time of disclosure; (iv) was
independently developed by the Receiving Party without making use of any
Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party; or (v) is required to be
disclosed pursuant to the order of any court or governmental agency.

          9.     Intellectual Property.  Any and all rights to any patent,
copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right: (i)
belonging to one party prior to commencement of the relevant services
hereunder, or (ii) independently developed by such party apart from services
provided hereunder, shall be and remain the property of such party.  Any
patentable inventions necessary or required to implement NextWave's personal
communications system(s) that may be developed by LCC in performance of the RF
Services or PM Services shall be owned by NextWave.  Any and all rights to any
copyrights or trade secrets relating to NextWave's products or software
developed by LCC in performance of the RF Services or PM Services shall be
owned by NextWave, and any and all rights to any copyrights or trade secrets
relating to LCC's products or software developed by LCC in performance of the
RF Services or PM Services shall be owned by LCC.  Each party agrees not to
disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer any product or software of the other
party used in connection with the RF Services or PM Services, or any component
thereof, for any purposes.  No provision of this Agreement shall be construed
to grant either party, either expressly, by implication or by way of estoppel,
any license under any patents or other intellectual property rights of the
other party, and each party agrees not to license, sell or distribute any
product or services that uses patents or other intellectual property rights of
the other party without a separate license from the other party under all
applicable patents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks.

          10.    Miscellaneous.

          (a) The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof, and
shall continue in effect for a period of five and one-half (5 1/2) years, and
thereafter shall automatically renew for additional and successive terms of one
(1) year unless either party provides the other party with written notice of
its intention not to renew this Agreement at least ninety (9()) days prior to
the expiration of the then-current term.  Either party shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement, immediately upon giving written notice to the other
party, at anytime after the occurrence of any of the following events with
respect to such other party: (i) insolvency, bankruptcy or the filing any
application therefor, or other commitment of an affirmative act of insolvency,
(ii) assignment or transfer of that portion of the business to which this 
Agreement pertains to a trustee for the benefit of creditors, or (iii)

and/or products to be performed and/or provided by LCC thereunder.

          (b) For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Affiliate" shall
mean: (i) any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with a party, directly or indirectly, where "control" means the power,
right or authority, by equity ownership, contract or otherwise, to direct the
management and policies, or elect a majority of the board of directors (or
similar governing body) of an entity, and (ii) any entity that controls or is
controlled by any entity qualifying as an Affiliate under 7(b)(i) above.  In

NextWave Personal Communications, Inc., and Tele*code, Inc.

          (c) The parties agree that the dollar volumes of products and
services set forth in Sections 1(b), 3(b) and 4(b) of this Agreement shall be
purchased by NextWave over the relevant five (5) year period at a rate of not
less than twenty percent (20%) of the obligation per year, on a cumulative
basis, e.g., (i) not less than 20% of the total by the end of the first year,
(ii) not less than 40% by the end of the second year, (iii) not less than 60%
by the end of the third year, (iv) not less than 80% by the end of the fourth

reach agreement on commercial terms shall not limit the parties' respective
obligations hereunder.

          (e) During the term of this Agreement, the parties covenant and agree
that neither party, including its Affiliates, nor any of their respective
directors, officers, agents, subsidiaries, successors or assigns shall,
directly, indirectly or in concert with any other person, solicit the services
or employment of, or employ, any employee of the other party without the other
party's express prior written consent in each instance.

          (f) Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other party
that: (i) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
such party and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such party, and
(ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party and the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not violate or
conflict with or constitute a default or breach under any of the terms or
provisions of any contract, agreement, lease, mortgage or their





                                     - 8 -

          (g) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no rights, obligations or liabilities of either party hereunder may
be assigned or transferred by such party without the express prior written
consent of the other party, except that LCC may assign this Agreement to: (i)
any successor entity organized in connection with an initial public offering of
LCC's securities, (ii) any entity organized in connection with a merger,
reorganization, consolidation or business combination which does not result in
a change in control, or (iii) any entity acquiring all or substantially all of
LCC's assets or capital stock ("Sale of LCC").  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, any transfer or assignment under this Section (g) to an entity
controlled by an operator of system(s) that provide wireless personal
communications services ("Wireless Operator") shall require NextWave's prior
written approval.

          (h) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (g) above, in the
event that LCC agrees to assign this Agreement to a third party other than a
Wireless Operator in connection with a Sale of LCC, then: (A) LCC shall provide
NextWave with written notice of such Sale of LCC at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the Sale's closing, which notice shall state the third party's actual
bona fide intention with respect to LCC's continued employment of the members
of LCC's senior management, (B) if the notice sets forth the third party's
intention to terminate the employment of a material portion of LCC's senior
management, then NextWave shall have the option to reduce the Minimum RF Amount
and the Minimum PM Amount (allocating the reduction, to the extent possible,
between the two categories on a pro rata basis based on the current ratio
reflected in this Agreement), in [                              ] increments up
to a maximum of [                                        ], recognizing that if
NextWave has, at the time, already paid LCC Engineering Fees and PM Fees
aggregating [           ] or more, then NextWave's remaining minimum commitment
will effectively be subject to being reduced to zero, by payment in cash to LCC
of a termination fee within fifteen (15) days after the closing of the Sale of
LCC.  The termination fee shall be [                               ] times each
[                               ] increment that the Minimum RF Amount / Minimum
PM Amount is reduced (e.g., [          ] for a [          ] reduction, [      ]
for a [           ] reduction, [          ] for a [          ] reduction, etc.).
The foregoing option shall be exercised by NextWave by providing LCC with
written notice of its intention to reduce the Minimum RF Amount / Minimum PM
Amount, specifying therein the amount of such reduction, within ten (10) days
after NextWave's receipt of LCC's notice under clause (A) of the first sentence
of this Section (h).  Such 





                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   10



reductions shall become effective only in the event that the Sale of LCC
actually closes (i.e., is consummated) and only upon NextWave's payment in full
of the termination fee provided for herein.  In the event that the Sale of LCC
is not consummated and/or closed, then NextWave's notice of reduction, the
corresponding reduction in the Minimum RF Amount / Minimum PM Amount, and
NextWave's obligation to pay the corresponding termination fee shall all be
terminated and of no effect.

          (i) This Agreement, together with all exhibits attached hereto,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior
oral or written negotiations and agreements between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may be amended or supplemented at
any time by mutual written agreement of the parties, but neither this Agreement
nor any term hereof may be amended, modified, released, discharged, abandoned
or changed in any manner except by an instrument in writing which refers to
this Agreement and which is executed by each of the parties.

          (j) The parties hereby agree to execute and deliver all documents and
instruments and to take or cause to be taken such other actions that are
reasonably necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

          (k) Neither party may disclose any of the terms, provisions and/or
existence of this Agreement to any third party (except to those officers,
directors and employees of such party having a need to know the same or,
provided prior notice and a reasonable opportunity to object is provided to the
other party, except as required by law) without the express prior written
approval of the other party.

          (l) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

          (m) All notices given by either party hereunder must be given in
writing and delivered by certified mail (return receipt requested), overnight
courier, or facsimile with confirmation, addressed to: (i) if to LCC, the
President, and (ii) if to NextWave, the Vice President, Engineering, at the
addresses first appearing above.

          (n) This Agreement may be executed: (i) in any number of
counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one instrument, and (ii)
via facsimile with original signatures to follow via overnight courier.

                                                                   Exhibit 10.22



                                   AGREEMENT

     This agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of the 20th day of March
1996, by and between DCR Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation having
its principal place of business at 2550 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037
("DCR"), and LCC, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company having its
principal place of business at 2300 Clarendon Blvd., Suite 800, Arlington,
Virginia 22201 ("LCC").

     WHEREAS, DCR is actively bidding on C-block licenses in the Federal
Communication Commission's ("FCC's") auction of licenses to construct and
operate systems to offer personal communications services in various BTAs
throughout the United States ("Licenses"); and

     WHEREAS, DCR, through one or more Affiliates, intends to acquire Licenses
covering BTAs having an aggregate population of 30 Million or more people and,
if successful, intends to construct facilities and deploy personal
communications systems in those BTA's ("DCR Systems"); and

     WHEREAS, through one or more Affiliates, intends to offer network
deployment, management and operations services ("Network Services") to other
entities that intend to implement wireless and/or personal communications
systems (with those systems for which DCR is engaged to perform services
referred to herein as "Third Party Systems"); and

     WHEREAS, concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the parties have
entered into a Convertible Loan and Subscription Agreement, dated as of March
20, 1996 (the "L&S Agreement") whereby LCC has agreed to:  (i) extend to DCR an
initial convertible loan in the principal amount of $3,500,000.00, and (ii)
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, a second convertible loan in
the principal amount of $3,000,000.00, all in consideration of DCR's commitment
to purchase from LCC, over a period of five (5) years, not less than
$65,000,000.00 worth of radio frequency engineering and program management
services;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth herein, and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, LCC and DCR,
intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

     1.          RF Engineering Services; Engagement.

     (a) DCR hereby agrees that LCC shall be engaged, during the five (5) year
period commencing on the date hereof, to perform not less than the greater of:
(i) seventy-five percent (75%) of all radio frequency engineering work and/or
services (including, without limitation, services provided by DCR's employees)
of the type generally offered by LCC ("RF Engineering Services"), to be

<PAGE>   2



connection with the design, implementation and/or optimization of the DCR
Systems and all Third Party Systems, or (ii) RF Engineering Services to be
performed in connection with the foregoing and resulting in the payment to LCC
(directly by DCR or through DCR's Vendors, as defined in Section 7(h) hereof)
of not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) in hourly engineering
service fees ("Engineering Fees") (the "Minimum RF Amount").  For the purposes
of this Agreement, the Engineering Fees shall include only hourly engineering
service fees (e.g., labor charges) and shall exclude any amounts paid for
expense reimbursements, drive testing, per diems (in accordance with US
government standards) and similar expenses.

     (b) Prior to commencement of any RF Engineering Services in any given
market, the parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to develop and
agree upon a mutually acceptable statement of work which describes the
particular project in terms of the work to be performed, a schedule of project
milestones and the expected budget for the work.  Unless otherwise agreed in
writing between the parties in connection with the execution of the statement
of work covering each project so engaged, the RF Engineering Services shall be
provided in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto.

     2.          RF Engineering Services; Exclusivity.  DCR hereby agrees to
use LCC as the exclusive independent third party provider of all radio
frequency engineering work and/or services to be performed in connection with
the design, implementation and/or optimization of the DCR Systems and all Third
Party Systems.  As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and on
a rolling basis every six (6) months thereafter, the parties agree to meet to
develop and agree upon a twelve (12) month projected staffing plan setting for
DCR's manpower requirements for the provision of RF Engineering Services (the
"Staffing Plan").  In the event that LCC is unable to provide any one or more
engineers within five days after the engineer was projected to be available
under the then current staffing plan, then DCR shall have the right,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2 to procure alternative
resources.

     3.          Program Management Services.

     (a)         DCR hereby agrees to engage LCC, during the five (5) year
period commencing on the date hereof, to perform program management services
(including, without limitation, site acquisition and construction management
services, but exclusive of RF Engineering Services), in connection with the
design, implementation and/or optimization of the DCR Systems or Third Party
Systems resulting in the payment to LCC (directly by DCR or through DCR's
Vendors) of not less than Forty Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000.00) in
program management service fees ("PM Fees") (the "Minimum PM Amount").  For the
purposes of this Agreement:  (A) PM Services shall not include the installation
of base station equipment (e.g., BTS, BSC and MSC) and/or any other services
that the parties





                                       2
<PAGE>   3



agree, by mutual prior written agreement, will not be included in PM Services,
and (B) PM Fees shall include only hourly program management service fees
(e.g., labor charges) and shall exclude all construction costs, contracted
labor and materials, expense reimbursements (e.g., warehousing, local office
space, etc.), per diems (in accordance with US government standards), RF Fees
and similar expenses.  The parties acknowledge the following:  (i)
out-of-pocket expenses that are administered and paid by LCC (e.g., travel
expenses, per diems, etc.) will be billed to DCR on a cost plus 3% basis, (ii)
the costs associated with LCC's retaining its contractual affiliates (e.g.,
site acquisition firms, construction management consultants, etc.) will be
included in LCC's base rates, and (iii) reimbursable expenses incurred in
connection with LCC's retention of additional third party services (e.g., title
companies, general contractors, specialty inspectors, surveyors, and the
purchase of construction materials, etc.) will be contracted on behalf of, and
generally billed to, DCR without mark-up.

     (b)         Prior to commencement of any PM Services in any given market,
the parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to develop and agree upon a
mutually acceptable statement of work which describes the particular project in
terms of the work to be performed, a schedule of project milestones and the
expected budget for the work.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the
parties in connection with the execution of the statement of work covering each
project so engaged, the PM Services shall be provided in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

     4.          LCC Products.  DCR hereby agrees that LCC, during the five (5)
year period commencing on the date hereof, LCC shall be the exclusive provider
of:  (a) network propagation modeling software, and (b) field test measurement
equipment, each of the type offered by LCC (collectively, "LCC Products"), used
in connection with the design, implementation, optimization and operation of
the DCR Systems, whether contracted directly by DCR or through one or more
Vendors.  DCR also agrees to use LCC as the "preferred provider" of all such
tools required by any entity that engages DCR to provide Network Services.  The
LCC Products shall be provided subject to LCC's standard terms and conditions
of sale and/or license for the software and/or equipment ordered.  Concurrent
with the execution of this Agreement, the parties shall enter into a Software
License Agreement, whereby LCC will grant to DCR, under LCC's standard software
license terms, a license to use LCC's proprietary CellCAD II(R) network
propagation modeling software, for an initial term of five (5) years, in
consideration of DCR's payment to LCC of a one-time software license fee in the
amount of [                                                         ] (the
"Software Agreement").

     5.          Pricing.  LCC hereby agrees that the prices charged to DCR for
RF Engineering Services, PM Services (excluding third party charges), and LCC
Products shall be no less favorable than the most favorable prices charged by
LCC to any other LCC customer.

     6.          Certain Contingencies.

     (a)         The parties acknowledge that, concurrent with the execution of
this Agreement, LCC has executed and delivered the L&S Agreement to DCR,
pursuant to which LCC has agreed to:  (i) extend an initial loan to DCR in the
principal amount of [             ], convertible into shares of DCR Series B
Common Stock, [          ] of which will be used by DCR for the sole purpose of
paying LCC the up-front license fee due under the Software Agreement, and the
remainder of which will be used for working capital requirements and/or DCR's
payment of FCC deposit(s) (the "Initial Loan"), and (ii) subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, extend an additional loan to DCR in the
principal amount of [            ], also convertible into shares of DCR Series B
Common Stock (the "Second Loan").  In the event that LCC does not fully fund
the Second Loan under one or more of the contingencies set forth in Section
1.3.1 of the L&S Agreement, DCR shall have the option to:  (A) cause the
Minimum RF Amount to be reduced to [                                    ], and
(B) cause the Minimum PM Amount to be reduced to [                          
                ].  Such option shall be exercised by providing written notice
to LCC at anytime within thirty (30) days after LCC provides notice to DCR of
its intention not to proceed with the Second Loan.

     (b)         In the event that DCR does not satisfy the conditions set
forth in Section 1.3.1 of the L&S Agreement (e.g., fails to be the high bidder
on licenses covering 25 Million POPS), and LCC desires to proceed with funding
the Second Loan despite DCR's inability to satisfy such contingency, then (in
recognition of the fact that DCR may not have obtained sufficient POPs to be
able to use the entire Minimum RF Amount and Minimum PM Amount required under
this Agreement in the event that LCC fully funds the Second Loan) LCC's
obligation to fund the Second Loan and DCR's obligation to purchase the
debenture issued in connection with the Second Loan, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in this Agreement or the L&S Agreement, shall be
contingent upon:  (A) the parties having negotiated and reached agreement, in
writing, with respect to adjusting the Minimum RF Amount and the Minimum PM
Amount (for amounts above the [         ] and [          ] commitments set forth
above with respect to the Initial Loan, which shall not be subject to
negotiation) to more accurately anticipate DCR's requirements but maintaining,
to the extent possible, the same ratio with respect to LCC's equity investment
and the minimum commitments made hereunder.

     7.          Miscellaneous.

     (a)         The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof,
and shall continue in effect for a period of five (5) years, and thereafter
shall automatically renew for additional and successive terms of one (1) year
unless either party provides the other party with written notice of its
intention not to





                                       4
<PAGE>   5



renew this Agreement at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the
then-current term.

     (b)         For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "DCR" and "LCC"
shall include any affiliate of such party, where the term "affiliate" means:
(i) any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with
a party, directly or indirectly, where "control" means the power, right or
authority, by equity ownership, contract or otherwise, to direct the management
and policies, or elect a majority of the board of directors (or similar
governing body) of an entity, and (ii) any entity that controls or is
controlled by any entity qualifying as an Affiliate under 7(b)(i) above.  With
respect to DCR, the term Affiliate shall include, without limitation, DCR
Network Service Company, L.L.C.; DCR / NSC Investments, Inc.; DCR PCS, Inc.;
DCR LV, Inc.; DCR Nevada, Inc.; and DCR Pacific PCS Limited Partnership.

     (c)         The parties agree that the dollar volumes of products and
services set forth in Sections 1(a) and 3(a) of this Agreement shall be
purchased by DCR over the relevant five (5) year period at a cumulative rate
of:  (i) not less than 15% of the total by the end of the first year, (ii) not
less than 40% by the end of the second year, (iii) not less than 75% by the end
of the third year, (iv) not less than 100% by the end of the fifth year.

     (d)         The parties hereby agree that DCR shall have the option to
apply:  (i) up to [                                                      ]     
of either:  (A) the Minimum RF Amount to the Minimum PM Amount, or (B) the
Minimum PM Amount to the Minimum RF Amount, and (ii) an additional [           
                                             ] of the Minimum PM Amount to the
Minimum RF Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any
reduction of the Minimum PM Amount or Minimum RF Amount under Section 6 hereof,
the provisions of Subsection (d)(ii) above shall no longer be effective and the
amount that can be re-allocated under Subsection (d)(i) above shall be reduced
to [                                    ].

     (e)         During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1)
year thereafter, the parties covenant and agree that neither party (including
their Affiliates) nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents,
subsidiaries, successors or assigns shall, directly, indirectly or in concert
with any other person, solicit the services or employment of, or employ, any
employee of the other party without the other party's express prior written
consent in each instance.

     (f)         Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other party
that:  (i) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
such party and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such party, and
(ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party and the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not violate or
conflict with or constitute a default or





                                       5
<PAGE>   6



breach under any of the terms or provisions of any contract, agreement, lease,
mortgage or their agreement to which such party is bound including, without
limitation, such party's organizational and/or constituent documents.

     (g)         This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no rights, obligations or liabilities of either party hereunder may
be assigned or transferred by such party without the express prior written
consent of the other party, except that LCC may assign this Agreement to:  (i)
any successor entity organized in connection with an initial public offering of
LCC's securities, or (ii) any entity in connection with a merger,
consolidation, reorganization or other business combination, or (iii) any
entity acquiring all or substantially all of LCC's assets or capital stock.
DCR may assign or transfer this Agreement, without LCC's consent, to any
successor entity organized in connection with an initial public offering of
DCR's securities provided that, (A) the transfer of DCR's business is conducted
in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission, and (B) such successor entity maintains direct or
indirect control over all FCC licenses and all assets relating to the operation
of such licenses awarded to DCR in the C-block auctions ("Successor Entity").
In the event that DCR transfers all or any portion of such licenses and/or
assets to any person or entity, DCR agrees that the rights and obligations
undertaken by DCR pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the portion of the
licenses and/or assets being transferred shall be transferred to and binding
upon each such person or entity.

     (h)         The parties acknowledge and agree that DCR has or may enter
into one or more agreements with Ericsson, Inc.  ("Ericsson") and/or Northern
Telecom, Inc. ("Northern Telecom") (collectively referred to as "Vendors") with
respect to the Vendor's selling to, and financing the purchase by, DCR of
network infrastructure equipment and related services.  DCR's commitments
hereunder with respect to the Minimum RF Amount and the Minimum PM Amount may
be satisfied by the Vendor's engagement of LCC, under the terms set forth in
Exhibit A hereto, as a subcontractor to provide RF Engineering Services and PM
Services with respect to the design, implementation and optimization of the DCR
Systems.

     (i)         This Agreement:  (i) constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and
all prior oral or written negotiations between the parties hereto, and (ii) may
be amended or supplemented at any time by mutual written agreement of the
parties, but neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended,
modified, released, discharged, abandoned or changed in any manner except by an
instrument in writing which refers to this Agreement and which is executed by
each of the parties.

     (j)         The parties hereby agree to execute and deliver all documents
and instruments and to take or cause to be taken such other actions that are
reasonably





                                       6
<PAGE>   7



necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

     (k)         In the event either party hereto (the "Receiving Party")
obtains from the other party hereto (the "Disclosing Party") any information in
whatever form which is confidential or proprietary ("Proprietary Information")
the Receiving Party:  (i) shall treat all such Proprietary Information as
confidential; (ii) shall use such Proprietary Information only for the purposes
contemplated in this Agreement; (iii) shall protect such Proprietary
Information, whether in storage or in use, with the same degree of care as the
Receiving Party uses to protect its own proprietary information against public
disclosure, but in no case with less than reasonable care; and (iv) shall not
disclose such Proprietary Information to any third party except to such
employees or subcontractors of the Receiving Party who need to know such
Proprietary Information for the purpose of performing the Services and who have
been informed of the confidential nature of such Proprietary Information.  The
provisions of this Section (k) shall not apply to any Proprietary Information
which:  (i) was in the public domain on the date hereof or comes into the
public domain other than through the fault or negligence of the Receiving
Party; (ii) was lawfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party
without breach of this Agreement and otherwise not in violation of the
Disclosing Party's rights; (iii) was known to the Receiving Party at the time
of disclosure as shown by the Receiving Party's records in existence at the
time of disclosure; (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party
without making use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party; or
(v) is required to be disclosed pursuant to the order of any court or
governmental agency, provided that the Receiving Party cooperates with the
Disclosing Party in its reasonable efforts to object to the disclosure of such
Proprietary Information.  The nondisclosure provisions set forth herein shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect for a
period of no less than five (5) years from the date such Proprietary
Information is received by the Receiving Party.  Except as may be required by
law, neither party shall make any future public disclosure of the details of
this Agreement without the written consent of the other party.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, information respecting this Agreement may be disclosed as
required in connection with regulatory filings or by applicable law or in
connection with due diligence investigations by investors or lenders of LCC or
DCR  on a need-to-know basis.  Nothing in this Agreement nor any disclosure of
information by either party to the other party hereunder shall be deemed,
either expressly or by implication, to convey any right or license to the
respective recipient of such information.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section (k), and in lieu of reducing to writing or identifying in writing
material to be held confidential pursuant to this Section within thirty (30)
days after disclosure thereof, either party may provide to the other party on a
monthly basis a blanket notice identifying categories of confidential
disclosures made or to be made to employees, agents, consultants or other
persons or groups of persons representing or employed by said other party,
which notice shall satisfy the requirements of identifying disclosures to be so
held





                                       7
<PAGE>   8



confidential.  The parties acknowledge that either party's breach of this
Section (k) would cause the other party irreparable injury for which it would
not have an adequate remedy at law.  In the event of a breach, the
non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any
other remedies it may have at law or in equity.

     (l)         All notices given by either party hereunder must be given in
writing and delivered by certified mail (return receipt requested), overnight
courier, or facsimile with confirmation, addressed to the Chief Executive
Officer of such party at the addresses first appearing above.

     (m)         This Agreement may be executed:  (i) in any number of
counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one instrument, and (ii)
via facsimile with original signatures to follow via overnight courier.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, intending to be legally bound, have

                                                                       EXHIBIT A

                         STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

     These terms and conditions shall govern LCC, L.L.C.'s ("LCC's") provision
of any and all engineering, program management and related services to DCR
Communications ("DCR") during the term of that certain Agreement by and between
LCC and DCR, dated as of March __, 1996 (the "March Agreement"), as each
engagement may be more fully described in a statement of work issued pursuant
to said agreement (the "Services").

     1.  Schedule.  LCC shall complete the Services in substantial accordance
with the time schedule(s) mutually agreed to, from time to time, by the
parties.  LCC shall not have any liability whatsoever for delay in performance
resulting from: (a) the failure to deliver any required materials or
information (including, without limitation, design criteria, system
requirements, site configuration requirements, or similar information) to LCC
in a timely manner, or (b) the failure on the part of any third party
contractor, vendor or agent retained by DCR to complete its responsibilities
within the applicable time schedules, or (c) delays beyond LCC's reasonable
control.

     2.  Fees & Expenses.  DCR agrees to pay LCC for the provision of Services
in accordance with: (a) the schedule of service fees and charges agreed to
between the parties with respect to the particular project, or (b) if the
service fees and charges are not defined with respect to the project or
services: then (i) with respect to radio frequency engineering services, at
LCC's then-current standard hourly rates for the services provided less 25%,
and (ii) with respect to program management services, at LCC's then-current
standard hourly rates for the services provided less 15%.  DCR agrees to
reimburse LCC for 103% of all out-of-pocket expenses and materials costs
incurred by LCC in the performance of the Services including, without
limitation, shipping, copying, travel, meals, lodging, temporary living and per
diem expenses (at U.S. government rates), construction costs, costs of third
party contractors and specialists, and related expenses including any amounts
paid by LCC to its employees as reimbursement for income tax equalization
expenses.

     3.  Payment Terms.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the
parties, all payments of fees and reimbursements of expenses and materials
costs by DCR shall be made within thirty (30) days after the receipt of LCC's
invoice.  All past due payments shall bear interest until paid in full at the
rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate allowed
by applicable law, whichever is lower.  All service fees and other payments to
LCC hereunder are quoted exclusive of any and all taxes, duties, levies or
similar charges assessed by any governmental authority, and all such taxes,
duties, charges, levies or any similar charges and all liability with respect
thereto shall be the sole liability and obligation of DCR, who shall pay the
same, irrespective of whether included in any invoice sent to DCR by LCC.  In
the event DCR fails to pay any amount when due under this Agreement, in
addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, DCR agrees to pay
LCC any and all attorney's fees and cost of collection.

     4.  Warranties.  LCC warrants that it will render the Services in a good
and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally accepted practices and
standards for the wireless communications industry.  LCC's sole obligation
under the forgoing warranty shall be to reperform any non-conforming work so
long as written notice is provided to LCC within a reasonable time, but in no
event later than twelve (12) months from the date on which the work was
performed.  THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF, AND LCC EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT AND IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF THE COURSE OF
DEALING, CUSTOM OR USAGE OF TRADE.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LCC BE
RESPONSIBLE OR HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DECISION MADE BY DCR OR ANY THIRD
PARTY CONCERNING THE DESIGN, DEPLOYMENT, CONSTRUCTION OR OPTIMIZATION OF ANY
SYSTEM.  THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE THE ONLY





                                      9
<PAGE>   10



WARRANTIES MADE BY LCC AND WILL NOT BE ENLARGED OR DIMINISHED WITHOUT LCC's
CONSENT IN WRITING.

     5.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO
THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, USE OR DATA
OR SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
OF ANY KIND OR FOR ANY REASON, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS
OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE,
EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  FOR
THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT, IN ANY EVENT, APPLY TO ANY
FAILURE ON THE PART OF DCR TO COMPLY WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE MARCH
AGREEMENT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PAYMENT OF THE MINIMUM RF AMOUNT
OR MINIMUM PM AMOUNT.  THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS PROVISION IS TO LIMIT THE
POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.  IN NO EVENT
SHALL LCC's LIABILITY HEREUNDER EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO
THE SERVICE FEES PAID BY DCR TO LCC DURING THE SIX MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING THE MONTH IN WHICH THE CLAIM OR DISPUTE AROSE.

     6.  Term & Termination.

         (a)     This Agreement shall commence on the date first set forth
above and shall continue in full force and effect until completion of the
Services and the payment in full of all amounts due and owing hereunder.  The
services engaged pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated: (i) by DCR or
LCC, immediately upon written notice of termination, in whole or in part
(termination in part shall apply only to the authorized work in the specific
BTA in which the material breach occurs) in the event of a material breach of
this Agreement by the other party, if such breach continues uncured for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach; (b) by DCR or
LCC, immediately upon written notice of termination to the other party, in the
event the other party shall (i) become insolvent; (ii) make an assignment for
the benefit of creditors; (iii) file a voluntary bankruptcy petition; (iv)
acquiesce to any involuntary bankruptcy petition: or (v) be adjudicated
bankrupt.  Any termination under this Section 7 shall not, in any manner,
limit, reduce or impair the parties respective rights and/or obligations under
the March Agreement including, without limitation, DCR's minimum purchase
commitments thereunder.

         (b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that LCC
materially fails to perform and services engaged hereunder, and fails to
correct (or take diligent efforts to correct) such material failure within
thirty (30) days after its receipt of written notice thereof from DCR, then DCR
shall, notwithstanding: (i) the minimum percentage requirement under Section
1(a) of the March Agreement, or (ii) the exclusivity provisions of Sections
1(b) and 4 of the March Agreement, be entitled to procure alternative services
to complete and/or perform the specific task(s) LCC failed to perform and cure.

     7.  Insurance.  LCC shall at all times while performing Services on DCR's
premises carry insurance with limits not less than the limits described as
follows:

         a.      Comprehensive General Public Liability:  $1,000,000 single 
                 limit bodily injury and property damage combined; such 
                 coverage shall include a broad form liability rider, completed
                 operations coverage rider and contractual liability rider.

         b.      An umbrella policy with $1,000,000 single limit bodily injury 
                 and property damage combined.  
                  
         c.      Workmen's Compensation (Statutory limits in state or states 
                 in which this Agreement is to be performed), including 
                 employer's general liability limits up to $500,000.





                                                  10
<PAGE>   11



     Seller shall provide DCR with certificates of insurance (i) evidencing the
insurance to be carried under this Article, (ii) demonstrating that DCR is an
additional insured, and (iii) including provisions that such insurance
policy(ies) shall not be subject to cancellation, expiration or reduction
without thirty (30) days notice to DCR.  Notwithstanding the requirements as to
insurance to be carried, the insolvency, bankruptcy or failure of any insurance
company carrying insurance for LCC, or failure of any such insurance company to
pay claims accruing, shall not be held to waive any of the provisions of this
Agreement or relieve LCC from any obligations under this Agreement.

     8.  Notices.  Notice shall mean a writing containing the information
required by this Agreement to be communicated to either party, sent by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or given by personal delivery,
or sent by confirmed air courier or by telefax to such party at the last known
address of such party, the date of registry thereof or the date of the
certification or receipt therefor as evidenced by postal or air courier records
or the date of telex electronic confirmation or the date of personal delivery
(or refusal thereof during normal business hours) being deemed the date of
receipt of notice; provided, however, that any communication sent to such party
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9 and actually received by
such party shall constitute notice for all purposes of the Agreement.

     9.  Record Retention.  LCC shall keep full, true and accurate records of
the information it uses to calculate the hours payable by DCR to LCC and of any
other items to which LCC's costing or overhead rates are applied.  LCC shall
retain said records for a period of three (3) years following the completion of
such work to which said records relate.

     10.   Audit Rights.  During the term of this Agreement but not more than
once per year, LCC shall allow DCR to retain a "big six" independent accounting
firm to audit such work records, upon reasonable advance written notice and
during LCC's normal business hours, and to make copies thereof, subject to
confidentiality agreements acceptable to LCC.  The scope of the audit will be
to verify the labor hours expended and details related to the items referenced
above.  DCR shall pay all costs related to the audit including, without
limitation, LCC's internal and out-of-pocket costs, subject to the following
provisions.  Any discrepancy discovered during an audit which cannot be
resolved by the Parties shall be treated as a dispute and submitted for
resolution under the dispute resolution procedures set forth herein.  In the
event it is determined that LCC has overcharged DCR, LCC shall promptly pay
back to DCR the amount of said overcharge.  If the overcharged amount is
finally determined to be material, i.e., more than ten percent (10%) of the
correct amount, LCC shall pay the costs incurred by DCR for the audit.  In the
event it is determined that LCC has undercharged DCR, DCR shall promptly pay to
LCC the undercharged amount.


     11.   Force Majeure.  The obligations hereunder of each party shall be
suspended while and to the extent that such party is prevented from complying
herewith in whole or in part by any event beyond the reasonable control of such
party, which for purposes of this Agreement shall include, without limitation,
acts of God, earthquakes, unavoidable accidents, laws, rules, regulations or
orders of government authorities, acts of war (declared or not), hostilities,
blockades, civil disturbances, embargoes, strikes or any other similar event or
cause.


     12.   Relationship.  The relationship of the parties shall be as
independent contractors, and neither party shall have the power, right or
authority to act on behalf of or bind the other party without the other party's
express prior written consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, DCR hereby
appoints LCC as its representative and agent for the express purpose of
procuring those items of equipment, services and/or related items that DCR has
agreed will be necessary or desirable in connection with LCC's performance of
the Services.

     13.   Binding Effect; Amendment.  This Agreement, together with the March
Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between LCC and DCR regarding the
subject matter hereof.  Except for the March Agreement, all prior or
contemporaneous agreements, proposals, understandings and communications
between LCC and DCR regarding the subject matter hereof, whether oral or
written, are superseded by and merged into this Agreement.  This Agreement may
be modified or amended only by a written instrument





                                                  11
<PAGE>   12



executed by both LCC and DCR.  In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms of the March Agreement, this Agreement or any statement of work or
purchase order issued under this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the
March Agreement shall govern and control.  In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of this Agreement or any statement of work issued under this
Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern and control
except with respect to issues relating to the specific pricing, type, nature
and delivery of the services to be performed.  Any additional terms contained
in a purchase order issued under this Agreement shall be of no force or effect,
and LCC hereby expressly objects to and rejects such terms.

     14.   Proprietary Rights.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, all right, title and interest in and to any and all software,
techniques, inventions, discoveries, algorithms, databases and other
intellectual property used, developed or conceived by LCC in the performance of
the Services shall be and remain the exclusive property of LCC; provided,
however, that all tangible reports, designs and/or drawings that are delivered
to DCR hereunder shall be the property of DCR.


     15.   Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall be enforceable to the maximum extent possible.


     16.   Waiver.  No waiver by either party of a breach of any term,
provision or condition of this Agreement by the other party shall constitute a
waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision hereof.  No
such waiver shall be valid unless executed in writing by the party making the
waiver.


     17.   Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to
principles of conflicts of law.  The exclusive jurisdiction for any and all
claims, suits or controversies under this Agreement shall be the federal or
state courts in and for the Commonwealth of Virginia.


     18.   Arbitration.  The parties agree to make a good faith effort to
resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement amicably between the parties.  In the event any such dispute,
claim or controversy cannot be resolved amicably between the parties within
thirty days after the claim arose, all such matters shall be resolved
exclusively by arbitration in Washington, D.C.  The arbitration shall be held
in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the
"Rules") before three arbitrators, one of which shall be appointed by DCR, one
of which shall be appointed by LCC, with the third appointed by the arbitrators
appointed by LCC and DCR.  DCR and LCC shall each make their respective
appointments within ten business days after the request for arbitration is
received by the non-filing party.  If the arbitrators appointed by LCC and DCR
are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within ten days after having been
requested to make such selection by either party, the third arbitrator shall be
selected in accordance with the Rules.  The arbitrators shall be knowledgeable
in the telecommunications industry.  The arbitrators shall issue a written
report of their findings and an explanation of their decision, and their
decision shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties.  Judgment on
the award granted by the arbitrators may be entered into any court of competent
jurisdiction.


     19.   Survival.  The respective rights and obligations of the parties 
under those Sections of this Agreement that, by their nature and context, can 
reasonably be said to have been intended to survive the termination hereof, 
shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.  The termination
or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect or prejudice either party's 
accrued rights hereunder.



                                                 [END]

denied Indemnitee's right to indemnification hereunder, or (ii) Indemnitee
shall have failed to file a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction
pursuant to Section 10(a) during the Indemnification Period (as defined below).

                 (e)      "Indemnifiable Capacity" shall mean that a person is
or was a director and/or executive officer of the Company, or, while serving
the Company in such position, is or was serving at the request of the Company
as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent
or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole
proprietorship, trust, nonprofit entity, employee benefit plan, or other
enterprise.

                 (f)      "Independent Legal Counsel" shall mean a law firm or
a member of a law firm selected by the Company and approved by Indemnitee
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or, if there has been a
Change in Control, selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and that neither is presently nor
in the past five years has been retained to represent:  (i) the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or Indemnitee or any corporation as to which
Indemnitee was or is a director, officer, employee or agent, or any subsidiary
or affiliate of such a corporation, in any material matter, or (iii) any other
party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent Legal Counsel" shall not
include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct
then prevailing under the law of the State of Delaware, would have a conflict
of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to
determine Indemnitee's right to indemnification under this Letter Agreement.

                 (g)      "Liabilities" shall mean liabilities of any type
whatsoever including, but not limited to, any judgments, fines, ERISA excise
taxes and penalties, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all
interest assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in
respect of such judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) of
any Proceeding.

                 (h)      "Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending or
completed action, claim, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution
mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any appeal
therefrom.

                 Section 2.       Services by Indemnitee.  Indemnitee agrees to
serve in an Indemnifiable Capacity so long as he is duly appointed in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation
and the By-Laws of the Company or applicable constituent documents of any other
entity and until such time as he resigns or is removed from his position.
Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign or be removed from such
position (subject to





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   3
any other contractual obligation or other obligation imposed by operation of
law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Letter
Agreement to continue Indemnitee in any such position.

                 Section 3.       Indemnification.

                 (a)      The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against
Expenses and Liabilities in connection with any Proceeding arising from the
fact that the Indemnitee serves or served in an Indemnifiable Capacity to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or
By-Laws of the Company in effect on the date hereof or as such law, Certificate
of Incorporation or By-Laws may from time to time be amended (but, in the case
of any such amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits the Company to
provide broader indemnification rights than the law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or the By-Laws permitted the Company to provide before such
amendment).  The rights to indemnification provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws shall be presumed to have been relied upon by
Indemnitee in serving or continuing to serve the Company and shall be
enforceable as a contract right.  Without diminishing the scope of the
indemnification provided by this Section 3, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee whenever he is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any Proceeding, including without limitation any such Proceeding brought by or
in the right of the Company, because he serves or served in an Indemnifiable
Capacity or because of anything done or not done by him in such Indemnifiable
Capacity, against Expenses and Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding, including the
costs of any investigation, defense, settlement or appeal, except that no
indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter if
Indemnitee was finally adjudged to be liable to the Company by a court of
competent jurisdiction due to his gross negligence or willful misconduct unless
and to the extent that a Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the
action was heard determines that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for
such amounts as the court deems proper.  Further, no indemnification shall be
made for the accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee
of securities of the Company within the meaning of section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any state
statutory or common law.  In addition to, and not as a limitation of, the
foregoing, the rights of indemnification of Indemnitee provided under this
Letter Agreement shall include those rights set forth or referenced in Sections
4, 6, 8, 9, 12 and 14 below.

                 (b)      Indemnitee shall be paid promptly by the Company all
amounts necessary to effectuate the foregoing indemnity.

                 Section 4.       Advancement of Expenses.

                 (a)      All reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of
Indemnitee shall be advanced from time to time by the Company to him within
thirty (30) days after the Company's receipt of a written request for an
advance of Expenses, whether prior to or after final disposition of





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4
a Proceeding (except to the extent that there has been a Final Adverse
Determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such
Expenses), including without limitation any Proceeding brought by or in the
right of the Company.  The written request for an advancement of any and all
Expenses under this paragraph shall contain reasonable detail of the Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee.  If required by law at the time of such advance,
Indemnitee hereby agrees to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately
determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to the
terms of this Letter Agreement.

                 (b)      In the event that any person (including, without
limitation, the Company) challenges the reasonableness of any Expenses for
which Indemnitee requests an advance, an affidavit provided to the Company by
Independent Legal Counsel certifying that, in the view of such Independent
Legal Counsel, the Expenses in question were reasonably incurred shall finally
and conclusively (but not exclusively) establish the reasonableness of such
Expenses for purposes of determining Indemnitee's entitlement to advancement of
such Expenses, but not for purposes of later determining Indemnitee's
entitlement to indemnification pursuant to this Letter Agreement at the
conclusion of the underlying action.

                 Section 5.       Limitations.

                 (a)      The foregoing indemnity and advancement of Expenses
shall apply only to the extent that Indemnitee has not been indemnified and
reimbursed pursuant to such insurance as the Company may maintain for
Indemnitee's benefit, or otherwise.

                 (b)      In the event of payment under this Letter Agreement,
the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers reasonably
required and shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to secure
such rights, including the execution and delivery of such documents necessary
to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

                 Section 6.       Insurance and Funding.  The Company may
purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and/or Indemnitee against any
Expenses and Liabilities in connection with any Proceeding to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable laws.  The Company may create a trust fund,
grant an interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter
of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect
indemnification or advancement of Expenses as provided in this Letter
Agreement.  The Company shall not be required to maintain such insurance if
such insurance is not reasonably available or if, in the reasonable business
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, or any appropriate committee
thereof, which shall be conclusively established by such determination by the
Board of Directors of the Company or such appropriate committee thereof, either
(i) the premium cost for such insurance is significantly disproportionate to
the amount of coverage thereunder or (ii) the coverage provided by such
insurance is so limited by exclusions that there is insufficient benefit from
such insurance.

                 Section 7.       Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to
Indemnification.

                 (a)      Whenever Indemnitee believes that he is entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Letter Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit a
written request for indemnification to the Company.  Any request for
indemnification shall include sufficient documentation or information
reasonably available to Indemnitee to support his claim for indemnification.
Indemnitee shall submit his claim for indemnification within a reasonable time
not to exceed five years after any judgment, order, settlement, dismissal,
arbitration award, conviction, acceptance of a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, final termination or other disposition or partial disposition of
any Proceeding, whichever is the later date for which Indemnitee requests
indemnification.  The President or the Secretary or other appropriate officer
shall, promptly upon receipt of Indemnitee's request for indemnification,
advise the Board of Directors of the Company in writing that Indemnitee has
made such request.  Determination of Indemnitee's entitlement to
indemnification shall be made not later than sixty (60) days after the
Company's receipt of his written request for such indemnification; if no
determination has been made in such 60-day period, the Company shall be deemed
to have approved the request, in the absence of (i) a knowing or intentional
misrepresentation of or knowing or intentional failure to disclose a material
fact by Indemnitee or (ii)  a specific finding (which has become final) by a
court of competent jurisdiction that all or any part of such indemnification is
expressly prohibited by the law of the State of Delaware.

                 (b)      Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification under
this Letter Agreement shall be determined in one of the following ways:

                 (i)      by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors,
         even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors;

                 (ii)     by written opinion of Independent Legal Counsel, if:
         (A) a Change of Control shall have occurred and Indemnitee so
         requests, (B) there are no Disinterested Directors, or (C) a majority
         of Disinterested Directors (even though less than a quorum of the
         Board of Directors) so directs;

                 (iii)    by the stockholders of the Company, but only if a
         majority of the Disinterested Directors (even though less than a
         quorum of the Board of Directors) presents the issue of entitlement to
         indemnification to the stockholders for their determination; or

                 (iv)     as provided in Section 7(a) above.

                 Section 8.       Continuation of Indemnification.  All
agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue
during the period that Indemnitee serves in an Indemnifiable Capacity, and
shall continue following such period during any period that Indemnitee shall be
subject to any Proceeding, any appeal in any such Proceeding, or any inquiry or





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6
investigation that could lead to any such Proceeding, by reason of the fact
that Indemnitee served in an Indemnifiable Capacity (the "Indemnification
Period").

                 Section 9.       Fees and Expenses of Independent Legal
Counsel.  The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
Independent Legal Counsel should such Independent Legal Counsel be retained to
make a determination of the reasonableness of Expenses pursuant to Section 4(b)
of this Letter Agreement or Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification
pursuant to Section 7 of this Letter Agreement, and to fully indemnify such
Independent Legal Counsel against any and all expenses and losses incurred by
it arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement or its engagement
pursuant hereto.

                 Section 10.      Remedies of Indemnitee.

                 (a)      In the event that (i) a determination pursuant to
Section 7 hereof is made that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification,
(ii) advances of Expenses are not made pursuant to this Letter Agreement, (iii)
payment has not been timely made following a determination of entitlement to
indemnification pursuant to this Letter Agreement, or (iv) Indemnitee otherwise
seeks enforcement of this Letter Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
seek an adjudication of his rights, at his sole option, either in (i) any court
of competent jurisdiction or (ii) an arbitration to be conducted by a single
arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The
Company shall not oppose Indemnitee's right to seek any such adjudication or
arbitration.

                 (b)      In the event that a determination that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification, in whole or in part, has been made pursuant to
Section 7 hereof, the decision in the judicial proceeding provided in paragraph
(a) of this Section 10 shall be made de novo and Indemnitee shall not be
prejudiced by reason of determination that he is not entitled to
indemnification.

                 (c)      If a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification has been made pursuant to Section 7 hereof or otherwise
pursuant to the terms of this Letter Agreement, the Company shall be bound by
such determination in the absence of (i) a knowing or intentional
misrepresentation of or a knowing or intentional failure to disclose a material
fact by Indemnitee or (ii) a specific finding (which has become final) by a
court of competent jurisdiction that all or any part of such indemnification is
expressly prohibited by the law of the State of Delaware.

                 (d)      In any court proceeding pursuant to this Section 10,
the Company shall be precluded from asserting that the procedures of this
Letter Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable.  The Company shall
stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of
this Letter Agreement and is precluded from making any assertion to the
contrary.

                 (e)      In that the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this
Section 10, seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to
enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for





                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   7
breach of, this Letter Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from
the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him if Indemnitee prevails in such judicial
adjudication or arbitration.  If it shall be determined in such judicial
adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not
all of the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, all such expenses
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or
arbitration shall be paid by the Company.

                 Section 11.      Modification, Waiver, Termination and
Cancellation.  No supplement, modification, termination, cancellation or
amendment of this Letter Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing
by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this
Letter Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver.

                 Section 12.      Notice by Indemnitee and Defense of Claim.
Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served with
any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other
document relating to any matter, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it
from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee if such omission does not
prejudice the Company's rights.  If such omission does prejudice the Company's
rights, the Company will be relieved from liability only to the extent of such
prejudice; nor will such omission relieve the Company from any liability which
it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Letter Agreement.  With
respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the
commencement thereof:

                 (a)      The Company will be entitled to participate therein 
at its own expense; and

                 (b)      The Company jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding if there has been
a Change in Control or if Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee with respect
to such Proceeding.  After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its
election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Letter Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred
by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable
costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below.  Indemnitee shall have
the right to employ its own counsel in such Proceeding but the fees and
expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its
assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless:

                 (i)      The employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been
authorized by the Company;

                 (ii)     Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that
counsel engaged by the Company may not adequately represent Indemnitee;





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8
                 (iii)    The Company shall not in fact have employed counsel
to assume the defense in such Proceeding or shall not in fact have assumed such
defense and be acting in connection therewith with reasonable diligence;

in each of which cases the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the Company.

                 (c)      The Company shall not be liable to indemnify
Indemnitee under this Letter Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of
any proceeding effected without its written consent.  The Company shall not
settle any Proceeding in any manner which would impose any penalty or
limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's written consent.  Neither the
Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed
settlement.

                 Section 13.  Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and
other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom
said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii) mailed by
certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day
after the date on which it is so mailed.

                 (a)      If to Indemnitee, to:

                                                                    
                          ------------------------------------------
                                                                    
                          ------------------------------------------
                                                                    
                          ------------------------------------------
                                                                    
                          ------------------------------------------

                 (b)      If to the Company, to:

                          Arlington Courthouse II

                          Attention:     General Counsel

or to such other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the
Company or to the Company by Indemnitee, as the case may be.

                 Section 14.      Nonexclusivity.  The rights of Indemnitee
hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee
may now or in the future be entitled under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or any
agreements, vote of members, resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company or otherwise.

                 Section 15.      Binding Effect, Duration and Scope of
Agreement.  This Letter Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business
or assets of the Company), spouses, heirs and personal and legal
representatives.  This Letter Agreement shall continue in effect during the
Indemnification Period (as defined in Section 8 hereof), regardless of whether
Indemnitee continues to serve in an Indemnifiable Capacity.

                 Section 16.      Severability.  If any provision or provisions
of this Letter Agreement (or any portion thereof) shall be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Letter Agreement shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and to the fullest extent legally
possible, the provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be construed so as to
give effect to the intent of any provision held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable.

                 Section 17.      Governing Law and Interpretation of
Agreement.  This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to
contracts between residents of the State of Delaware entered into and to be
performed entirely within the State of Delaware.  If the laws of the State of
Delaware are hereafter amended to permit the Company to provide broader
indemnification rights than said laws permitted the Company to provide prior to
such amendment, the rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses
conferred by this Letter Agreement shall automatically be broadened to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as so amended.

                 Section 18.      Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Company and
Indemnitee each irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding
which arises out of or related to this Letter Agreement.

                 Section 19.      Entire Agreement.  This Letter Agreement
represents the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and there are no
other agreements, contracts or understandings between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter of this Letter Agreement, except as specifically
referred to herein or as provided in Section 14 hereof.

                 Section 20.      Counterparts.  This Letter Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be
deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same agreement.

Arlington, VA  22201
Attn:  Dr. Rajendra Singh

         Re:     Overhead and Administrative Services

Dear Dr. Singh:

         The following sets forth the terms and conditions under which LCC
International, Inc. ("LCC International") shall provide certain administrative

                 hereto may voluntarily or involuntarily assign any of its
                 rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement without the
                 written consent of the other party hereto and any attempted
                 assignment shall be null and void.  This Agreement is for the
                 benefit of the parties hereto only and is not for the benefit
                 of any third parties.

                 respect to its subject matter and, as of the Effective Date,

                 to such subject matter.  No amendment to this Agreement and no
                 waiver of compliance with any provision or condition hereof or
                 obligation hereunder shall be deemed to be effective unless it
                 is evidenced by a written instrument duly executed by each
                 party hereto.

         6.      Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions of
                 this agreement shall be deemed invalid, illegal or
                 unenforceable in any respect, or to any extent, the validity,
                 legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
                 contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
                 thereby, and any court of competent jurisdiction may so modify
                 such invalid or unenforceable provision so as to make such
                 provision valid and enforceable.

         7.      Governing Law.  The construction and performance of this
                 Agreement will be governed by the internal laws of the
                 Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to the
                 principles of conflicts of law which may be applied thereby.

                 3.1      TIME OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 The Optionee may exercise the Option (subject to the
limitations on exercise set forth in the Plan or in this Option Agreement
relating to such Option), in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, after the Grant Date and prior to the termination of the Option;
provided, that no single exercise of the Option shall be for less than 100
shares, unless the number of shares purchased is the total number at the time

                 During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee (or, in

guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option.

                 3.3      LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing Subsections of this Section, in
no event may the Option be exercised, in whole or in part, after 5 years
following the date upon which the Option is granted, as set forth in Section 12
below, or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 7 below which
results in termination of the Option.  In no event may the Option be exercised
for a fractional Share.

                 3.4      TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

                 Upon the termination of service (a "Service Termination") of
the Optionee in all capacities as an employee and/or director of the
Corporation and all of its affiliated companies, other than by reason of the
death or permanent and total disability of such Optionee, Optionee shall have
the right at any time within 60 days after such Service Termination and prior

whole or in part, any Option held by such Optionee at the date of such Service
Termination.

                 3.5      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH.

                 If an Optionee dies while in service as a director of the
Corporation, the executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of
such Optionee's estate shall have the right, at any time within 180 days after
the date of such Optionee's death and prior to termination of the Option

                 3.6      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DISABILITY.

                 If there is a Service Termination by reason of the permanent

<PAGE>   5
Option pursuant to Section 3.2 above, to exercise, in whole or in part, any
Option held by such Optionee at the date of such Service Termination.  Whether
a Service Termination is to be considered by reason of permanent and total
disability for purposes of this Plan shall be determined by the Administrator,
which determination shall be final and conclusive.

                 3.7      REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTION.

                 The number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of
the Option pursuant to this Section shall be reduced by the number of shares
previously purchased upon exercise of the Option pursuant to this Section.

                 4.       METHOD OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                          The Option may be exercised by delivery to the
Corporation on any business day, at its principal office addressed to the
attention of the Administrator, of written notice of exercise, which notice
shall specify the number of shares for which the Option is being exercised, and
shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for
which the Option is being exercised.  Payment of the Option Price for the
shares of Class B Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall
be made (a) in cash or by certified check payable to the order of the
Corporation; (b) through the tender to the Corporation of shares of Class B
Stock, which shares shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to
which the Option Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the
date of exercise; or (c) by a combination of the methods described in (a) and
(b) hereof.  Payment in full of the Option Price need not accompany the written
notice of exercise provided the notice directs that the Class B Stock
certificate or certificates for the shares for which the Option is exercised be
delivered to a licensed broker acceptable to the Corporation as the agent for
the individual exercising the Option and, at the time such Class B Stock
certificate or certificates are delivered, the broker tenders to the
Corporation cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the Corporation) equal to
the Option Price.  An attempt to exercise the Option granted other than as set
forth above shall be invalid and of no force and effect.  Promptly after the
exercise of the Option and the payment in full of the Option Price of the
shares of Class B Stock covered thereby, the Optionee shall be entitled to the
issuance of a Class B Stock certificate or certificates evidencing such
individual's ownership of such shares.

                 5.       LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER.

                 The Option is not transferable by the Optionee, other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of death of the
Optionee and shall not be pledged or hypothecated (by operation of law or
otherwise) or subject to execution, attachment or similar processes.

                 6.       RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.

                 Neither the Optionee nor any executor, administrator,
distributee or legatee of the Optionee's estate shall be, or have any of the
rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of any
shares transferable hereunder unless and until such shares have been fully paid
and certificates representing such shares have been endorsed, transferred and
delivered, and the name of the Optionee (or of such personal representative,
administrator, distributee or legatee of the Optionee's estate) has been
entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Corporation.

                 7.       EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

                 7.1      CHANGES IN SHARES.

                 If the number of outstanding shares of Class B Stock is
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or
kind of stock or other securities of the Corporation by reason of any
recapitalization, reclassification, Class B Stock split, reverse split,
combination of Class B Stock, exchange of Class B Stock, Class B Stock dividend
or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease
in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation
occurring after the date the Option is granted, a proportionate and appropriate
adjustment shall be made by the Corporation in the number and kind of shares
subject to the Option, so that the proportionate interest of the Optionee
immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same
as immediately prior to such event.  Any such adjustment in the Option shall
not change the total Option Price with respect to shares subject to the
unexercised portion of the Option but shall include a corresponding
proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share.

                 7.2      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS THE
                          SURVIVING ENTITY.

                 Subject to Section 7.3 of this Section, if the Corporation
shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger or consolidation of
the Corporation with one or more other entities, the Option shall pertain to
and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares subject
to the Option would have been entitled immediately following such
reorganization, merger or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate
adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price
thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares
remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization,
merger or consolidation.

                 7.3      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS NOT THE
                          SURVIVING CORPORATION OR SALE OF ASSETS OR STOCK.

                 Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or
upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Corporation with one or
more other corporations in which the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation to another corporation, or upon any transaction (including, without
limitation, a merger or reorganization in which the Corporation is the
surviving corporation) approved by the Board which results in any person or
entity owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Corporation, the Option shall terminate, except to the extent
provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the
assumption of the Option, or for the substitution for the Option of a new
option covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary
thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and
exercise prices, in which event the Option shall continue in the manner and
under the terms so provided.  The Administrator shall send written notice of an
event that will result in such a termination to the Optionee not later than the
time at which the Corporation gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

                 7.4      ADJUSTMENTS.

                 Adjustments specified in this Section relating to shares of
Class B Stock or securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  No
fractional shares or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any
such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or
unit.

                 8.       GENERAL RESTRICTIONS.

                 The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any
shares of Class B Stock under the Option if the sale or issuance of such shares
would constitute a violation by the individual exercising the Option or by the
Corporation of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations.  If at any time the Corporation shall determine, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of
Class B Stock subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or under any
state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any government regulatory
body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the
issuance or purchase of shares hereunder, the Option may not be exercised in
whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Corporation, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way
affect





                                     - 5 -

<PAGE>   8
the date of termination of the Option.  Specifically in connection with the
Securities Act of 1933, upon notice of exercise of any Option, unless a
registration statement under such Act is in effect with respect to the shares
covered by such Option, the Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue
such shares unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to the Board
that the holder of such Option may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption
from registration under such Act.  Any determination in this connection by the
Corporation shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  The Corporation shall not
be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of
the Option or the issuance of shares of Class B Stock pursuant thereto to
comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.  As to any
jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that the Option shall not
be exercisable unless and until the shares covered by the Option are registered
or are subject to an available exemption from registration, the exercise of the
Option (under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall
be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the
availability of such an exemption.

                 9.       DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS.

                 No provision in this Option Agreement shall be construed to
confer upon the Optionee the right to continue as a director of the
Corporation.

                 10.      INTERPRETATION OF THIS OPTION AGREEMENT.

                 All decisions and interpretations made by the Administrator
with regard to any question arising under the Plan or this Option Agreement
shall be binding and conclusive on the Corporation and the Optionee and any
other person entitled to exercise the Option as provided for herein.  In the
event that there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Option
Agreement and of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

                 11.      GOVERNING LAW.

                 This Option Agreement is executed pursuant to and shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (but not including the choice of
law rules thereof).

                 12.      GRANT DATE.

                 The Grant Date of this Option is _____, 1996.

                 13.      BINDING EFFECT.

                 Subject to all restrictions provided for in this Option
Agreement and by applicable law relating to assignment and transfer of this
Option Agreement and the option provided for herein, this Option Agreement

respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if mailed or delivered to the
Corporation at its principal office, addressed to the attention of the
Corporate Secretary, or if so mailed or delivered to such other address as the
Corporation may hereafter designate by notice to the Optionee.  Any notice
hereunder by the Corporation to the Optionee shall be in writing and shall be
deemed duly given if mailed or delivered to the Optionee at the address
specified below by the Optionee for such purpose, or if so mailed or delivered
to such other address as the Optionee may hereafter designate by written notice
given to the Corporation.

                 15.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

                 This Option Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Neither this Option
Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated
except by a written instrument signed by the Corporation and the Optionee;
provided, however, that the Corporation unilaterally may waive any provision
hereof in writing to the extent that such waiver does not adversely affect the
interests of the Optionee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be
construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any
other provision hereof.

            THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
UNLESS SO REGISTERED OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE BORROWER,
AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS IS AVAILABLE.

                                      NOTE

$3,500,000                                                   Arlington, Virginia
                                                            September [__], 1996

            FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TELCOM VENTURES, L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of LCC
INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Lender"), the principal sum of
Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500,000), together
with interest on the unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to time, all
as hereinafter set forth.

Payments of Principal and Interest

            Interest from the date hereof on the principal amount outstanding
from time to time until and after the maturity hereof until paid shall be
payable at the rate of LIBOR plus 1.75 percent per annum (determined as provided
below). From and after the date hereof, interest accrued shall be paid by the
Borrower to the Lender on each anniversary of the date hereof.  Interest shall
be calculated on a year of 360 days based upon the actual number of days 
elapsed.

            Principal shall be payable in equal annual installments of Seven
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($700,000) due on each of the first five
anniversaries of the date hereof; provided, however, that the entire amount of
the unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and 
unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on September [__], 2001.

Determination of LIBOR

            On each LIBOR Determination Day, the Lender will determine LIBOR on
the basis of the rate for three-month United States dollar deposits that appears
on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate
does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that date will be determined
on the
<PAGE>   2
basis of the rates at which three-month United States dollars are offered by the
Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime
banks in the London interbank market. The Lender will request the principal
London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate.
If two or more such quotations are provided, the rate for that date will be the
arithmetic mean of the quotations.

            "LIBOR" shall mean, for any quarterly interest period specified
herein, the London interbank offered rate for 90-day United States dollar
deposits determined in accordance with the provisions of the above paragraph.

            "LIBOR Determination Date" shall mean the first London Business Day
of each interest period.

            A "London Business Day" shall mean any business day on which
dealings in deposits in United States dollars are transacted in the London
interbank market.

            "Reference Banks" means at least two and up to four major banks in
the London interbank market selected by the Lender.

            "Telerate Page 3750" shall mean the display page currently so
designated on the Dow Jones Telerate Service or any successor service (or such
other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of
displaying comparable rates or prices).

Manner of Payments

            Payment of both principal and interest shall be paid in lawful money
of the United States of America in immediately available funds to the Lender at
2300 Clarendon Boulevard, Suite 800, Arlington, Virginia 22201, or at any other
place as the Lender may from time to time designate. All payments shall be
applied first to any and all interest accrued through the payment date and then
to the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

            The Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay, without
premium or penalty, all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this
Note and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

            If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become
due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Virginia, such payment shall be made on the next business day and such
extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with
such payment.

            Upon payment in full of all principal and interest payable
hereunder, this Note shall be surrendered to the Borrower for cancellation.

due and payable (whether at maturity, by notice of intention to prepay, or
otherwise) or (ii) the sale by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as
hereafter defined) of shares of the outstanding common stock of the Lender which
results in the Borrower and its Affiliates collectively owning less than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding common stock of the Lender, the
Lender may, by written notice to the Borrower, declare all of the unpaid
principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued interest thereon,

policies of an Entity.

            No course of dealing or any delay on the part of the Lender or any
registered holder of this Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall
operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the rights of the Lender or
such holder. Except as expressly provided in this Note, no right conferred
hereby on the Lender or any registered holder of this Note shall be exclusive of
any other right referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in
equity, by statute or otherwise. The Borrower hereby waives demand, protest,
presentment for payment and diligence in bringing action against any party. The
Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs of collection (including attorneys'
fees) paid or incurred by the Lender or any registered holder of this Note in
enforcing all or any portion of this Note upon the occurrence of any default
hereunder.

Senior Status

            This Note shall constitute senior indebtedness of the Borrower, and
shall rank pari passu with other senior indebtedness of the Borrower. The 
Borrower shall not subordinate its obligations under this Note to any other 
indebtedness of Borrower, and shall not represent to any person or entity that
such obligations are subordinate to any other indebtedness of Borrower, without
the prior written consent of the Lender.

                            LCC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                            CARLYLE OPTION DESIGNEE
                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


                 This Stock Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") is made
as of the ____ day of ______, 1996, by and between LCC International, Inc. (the
"Corporation") and ______________, an individual who has been designated by The
Carlyle Group to receive an Option (the "Optionee").

                 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
"Board") have approved the grant  of a specified number of options for the
purchase of shares of the Corporation's Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value
(the "Class B Stock"), to an individual designated by The Carlyle Group;

                 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:


                 1.      GRANT OF OPTION.

                 The Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee the right and
option (the "Option") to purchase from the Corporation, on the terms and
subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, 25,000 shares of Class A
Stock.  This Option shall not constitute an incentive stock option within the
meaning of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").


                 2.       PRICE.

                 The purchase price (the "Option Price") for the shares of
Class A Stock subject to the Option granted by this Option Agreement is $______
per share (the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date).


                 3.       EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option granted
pursuant to this Option Agreement shall be subject to exercise as follows:


                 3.1      TIME OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 The Optionee may exercise the Option (subject to the
limitations on exercise set forth in the Plan or in this Option Agreement
relating to such Option), in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, after the Grant Date and prior to the termination of the Option;
provided, that no single exercise of the





                                      -1-
<PAGE>   4


Option shall be for less than 100 shares, unless the number of shares purchased
is the total number at the time available for purchase under this Option.


                 3.2      EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE.

                 During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee (or, in
the event of the Optionee's legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's
guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option.


                 3.3      LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing Subsections of this Section, in
no event may the Option be exercised, in whole or in part, after 5 years
following the date upon which the Option is granted, as set forth in Section 12
below, or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 7 below which
results in termination of the Option.  In no event may the Option be exercised
for a fractional Share.


                 3.4      REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTION.

                 The number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of
the Option pursuant to this Section shall be reduced by the number of shares
previously purchased upon exercise of the Option pursuant to this Section.


                 4.       METHOD OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 The Option may be exercised by delivery to the Corporation on
any business day, at its principal office addressed to the attention of the
Administrator, of written notice of exercise, which notice shall specify the
number of shares for which the Option is being exercised, and shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for which the
Option is being exercised.  Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Class
A Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made (a) in
cash or by certified check payable to the order of the Corporation; (b) through
the tender to the Corporation of shares of Class A Stock, which shares shall be
valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price has
been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or (c)
by a combination of the methods described in (a) and (b) hereof.  Payment in
full of the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise
provided the notice directs that the Class A Stock certificate or certificates
for the shares for which the Option is exercised be delivered to a licensed
broker acceptable to the Corporation as the agent for the individual exercising
the Option and, at the time such Class A Stock certificate or certificates are
delivered, the broker tenders to the Corporation cash (or cash equivalents
acceptable to the Corporation) equal to the Option Price.  An attempt to
exercise the Option granted other than as set forth above shall be invalid and
of no force and





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   5


effect.  Promptly after the exercise of the Option and the payment in full of
the Option Price of the shares of Class A Stock covered thereby, the Optionee
shall be entitled to the issuance of a Class A Stock certificate or
certificates evidencing such individual's ownership of such shares.


                 5.       LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER.

                 The Option is not transferable by the Optionee, other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of death of the
Optionee and shall not be pledged or hypothecated (by operation of law or
otherwise) or subject to execution, attachment or similar processes.


                 6.       RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.

                 Neither the Optionee nor any executor, administrator,
distributee or legatee of the Optionee's estate shall be, or have any of the
rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of any
shares transferable hereunder unless and until such shares have been fully paid
and certificates representing such shares have been endorsed, transferred and
delivered, and the name of the Optionee (or of such personal representative,
administrator, distributee or legatee of the Optionee's estate) has been
entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Corporation.


                 7.       EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.


                 7.1      CHANGES IN SHARES.

                 If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Stock is
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or
kind of stock or other securities of the Corporation by reason of any
recapitalization, reclassification, Class A Stock split, reverse split,
combination of Class A Stock, exchange of Class A Stock, Class A Stock dividend
or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease
in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation
occurring after the date the Option is granted, a proportionate and appropriate
adjustment shall be made by the Corporation in the number and kind of shares
subject to the Option, so that the proportionate interest of the Optionee
immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same
as immediately prior to such event.  Any such adjustment in the Option shall
not change the total Option Price with respect to shares subject to the
unexercised portion of the Option but shall include a corresponding
proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share.





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   6



                 7.2      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS THE
                          SURVIVING ENTITY.

                 Subject to Section 7.3 of this Section, if the Corporation
shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger or consolidation of
the Corporation with one or more other entities, the Option shall pertain to
and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares subject
to the Option would have been entitled immediately following such
reorganization, merger or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate
adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price
thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares
remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization,
merger or consolidation.


                 7.3      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS NOT THE
                          SURVIVING CORPORATION OR SALE OF ASSETS OR STOCK.

                 Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or
upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Corporation with one or
more other corporations in which the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation to another corporation, or upon any transaction (including, without
limitation, a merger or reorganization in which the Corporation is the
surviving corporation) approved by the Board which results in any person or
entity owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Corporation, the Option shall terminate, except to the extent
provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the
assumption of the Option, or for the substitution for the Option of a new
option covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary
thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and
exercise prices, in which event the Option shall continue in the manner and
under the terms so provided.  The Administrator shall send written notice of an
event that will result in such a termination to the Optionee not later than the
time at which the Corporation gives notice thereof to its stockholders.


                 7.4      ADJUSTMENTS.

                 Adjustments specified in this Section relating to shares of
Class A Stock or securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  No
fractional shares or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any
such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or
unit.

                 8.       GENERAL RESTRICTIONS.

                 The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any
shares of Class A Stock under the Option if the sale or issuance of such shares
would constitute a violation by the individual exercising the Option or by the
Corporation of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations.  If at any time the Corporation shall determine, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of
Class A Stock subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or under any
state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any government regulatory
body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the
issuance or purchase of shares hereunder, the Option may not be exercised in
whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Corporation, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way
affect the date of termination of the Option.  Specifically in connection with
the Securities Act of 1933, upon notice of exercise of any Option, unless a
registration statement under such Act is in effect with respect to the shares
covered by such Option, the Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue
such shares unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to the Board
that the holder of such Option may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption
from registration under such Act.  Any determination in this connection by the
Corporation shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  The Corporation shall not
be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of
the Option or the issuance of shares of Class A Stock pursuant thereto to
comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.  As to any
jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that the Option shall not
be exercisable unless and until the shares covered by the Option are registered
or are subject to an available exemption from registration, the exercise of the
Option (under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall
be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the
availability of such an exemption.


                 9.       DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS.

                 No provision in this Option Agreement shall be construed to
confer upon the Optionee any rights other than to purchase Class A Stock of the
Corporation.


                 10.      INTERPRETATION OF THIS OPTION AGREEMENT.

                 All decisions and interpretations made by the Administrator
with regard to any question arising under the Plan or this Option Agreement
shall be binding and conclusive on the Corporation and the Optionee and any
other person entitled to exercise the Option as provided for herein.  In the
event that there is any





                                      -5-
<PAGE>   8


inconsistency between the provisions of this Option Agreement and of the Plan,
the provisions of the Plan shall govern.


                 11.      GOVERNING LAW.

                 This Option Agreement is executed pursuant to and shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (but not including the choice of
law rules thereof).


                 12.      GRANT DATE.

                 The Grant Date of this Option is _____, 1996.


                 13.      BINDING EFFECT.

                 Subject to all restrictions provided for in this Option
Agreement and by applicable law relating to assignment and transfer of this
Option Agreement and the option provided for herein, this Option Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.


                 14.      NOTICE.

                 Any notice hereunder by the Optionee to the Corporation shall
be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if mailed or delivered to the
Corporation at its principal office, addressed to the attention of the
Corporate Secretary, or if so mailed or delivered to such other address as the
Corporation may hereafter designate by notice to the Optionee.  Any notice
hereunder by the Corporation to the Optionee shall be in writing and shall be
deemed duly given if mailed or delivered to the Optionee at the address
specified below by the Optionee for such purpose, or if so mailed or delivered
to such other address as the Optionee may hereafter designate by written notice
given to the Corporation.


                 15.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

                 This Option Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Neither this Option
Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated
except by a written instrument signed by the Corporation and the Optionee;
provided, however, that the Corporation unilaterally may waive any provision
hereof in writing to the extent that such waiver does not adversely affect the
interests of the Optionee





                                      -6-
<PAGE>   9


hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a
subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision
hereof.

                 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this
Option Agreement, or caused this Option Agreement to be duly executed on their
behalf, as of the day and year first above written.

                        FORM OF LCC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                        1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


         This Stock Option Agreement is made as of __________, 1996, by and
between LCC International, Inc., a Delaware (the "Corporation"), and
________________________, an individual who is employed by Corporation (the
"Optionee").

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted
and approved the LCC International, Inc. 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"), subject to approval by the stockholders of the Corporation, which Plan
authorizes the Corporation to grant to eligible individuals options for the
purchase of shares of the Corporation's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Stock"); and

         WHEREAS, the Corporation has determined that it is desirable and in
its best interests to grant to the Optionee, pursuant to the Plan, an option to
purchase a certain number of shares of Stock, in order to provide the Optionee
with an incentive to advance the interests of the Corporation and any Affiliate
thereof;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1.               GRANT OF OPTION

                 Subject to the terms of the Plan (attached hereto as Exhibit
A), and to the requisite approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the
Corporation, the Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option
(the "Option") to purchase from the Corporation, on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Option Agreement,
_____________________  (_______) shares of Stock.  This Option shall constitute
an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The date of grant of this
Option is __________ [__], 1996, the date on which the grant of the Option was
approved by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the "Committee").

2.               PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stock Option
Agreement or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or
hereafter





                                      -1-

entered into by the Optionee and Corporation, except an agreement, contract, or
understanding hereafter entered into that expressly modifies or excludes
application of this Section (the "Other Agreements"), and notwithstanding any
formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect
compensation of the Optionee (including groups or classes of participants or
beneficiaries of which the Optionee is a member), whether or not such
compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for
the Optionee (a "Benefit Arrangement"), the Optionee shall have no right to
receive any payment or other benefit under the Plan, if, and to the extent
that, such payment or benefit, taking into account all other payments or
benefits to or for the Optionee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all
Benefit Plans, would cause any payment or benefit to the Optionee under this
Stock Option Agreement to be considered a "parachute payment" within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a "Parachute
Payment").

3.               TERMS OF PLAN

                 The Option granted pursuant to this Stock Option Agreement is
granted subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.  All terms
and conditions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Stock Option
Agreement by reference and shall be deemed to be part of this Stock Option
Agreement, without regard to whether such terms and conditions are not
otherwise set forth in this Stock Option Agreement.  To the extent any
capitalized words used in this Stock Option Agreement are not defined, they
shall have the definitions stated for them in the Plan.  In the event that
there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Stock Option
Agreement and of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

4.               OPTION PRICE

                 The purchase price (the "Option Price") for the shares subject
to the Option granted by this Stock Option Agreement is $_____ which price is
not less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on
the date of grant of this Option.

5.               VESTING IN OPTIONS

                 The Option becomes vested as to _____ percent of the shares
purchasable pursuant to the Option on the first anniversary of the date of
grant (the first "Anniversary Date"), if Optionee has been providing services
to Corporation continuously from the date of grant to the Anniversary Date.
Thereafter, so long as continuous service has not been interrupted, the Option
becomes vested as to an additional _________ percent of the shares subject to
the Option after each of the next ______ Anniversary Dates.  Service for this
purpose includes service as an employee, director, advisor or consultant
providing bona fide services to Corporation or an Affiliate.  For purposes of
the Stock Option





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   6
Agreement, termination of service would not be deemed to occur if the Optionee,
after terminating service in one capacity, continues to provide service to
Corporation or an Affiliate in another capacity.  Termination of service is
sometimes also referred to herein as termination of employment or other
relationship with Corporation or an Affiliate.

6.               TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTION

                 (a)      TERM

                 The Option shall terminate and all rights to purchase the
shares thereunder shall cease upon the expiration of ten years after the Grant
Date.

                 (b)      OPTION PERIOD AND LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE

                 The Optionee may exercise the Option (subject to the
limitations on exercise set forth in this Stock Option Agreement and in the
Plan), to the extent the Option is vested and has not terminated.  Any
limitation on the exercise of an Option may be rescinded, modified or waived by
the Committee, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time after
the Grant Date of the Option, so as to accelerate the time at which the Option
may be exercised.  The time at which the Option may be exercised will be
accelerated and the Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any
time and from time to time prior to termination of the Option after termination
of employment by reason of death of Optionee or "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the
Optionee.

                 (c)      LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections, in no event may the
Option be exercised:  (i) in whole or in part, after ten years following the
Grant Date, as set forth in Section 1 above, (ii) following termination of
employment for Cause (as defined in Section 13(a) below), (iii) if securities
of the Corporation or of any successor are not Publicly Traded, after twelve
months following termination of employment other than for Cause, or (iv) if
securities of the Corporation or of any successor are Publicly Traded,
following termination of employment except as provided in Sections 7(a), 7(b),
and 7(c) below.  If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are not
Publicly Traded, the Option may be exercised following termination of
employment other than for Cause, to the extent vested at the time of such
termination for the lesser of twelve months from the date of termination of
employment or ten years from the Grant Date.

<PAGE>   7
                 (d)      METHOD OF EXERCISE

                 The Option may be exercised to the extent that shares have
become exercisable hereunder by delivery to the Corporation on any business
day, at its principal office addressed to the attention of the Committee, of
written notice of exercise, which notice shall specify the number of shares for
which the Option is being exercised, and shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the Option Price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.
Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the
exercise of the Option shall be made, as determined by the Committee and set
forth in the Option Agreement pertaining to an Option, (i) in cash or by
certified check payable to the order of the Corporation; (ii) through the
tender to the Corporation of shares of Stock, which shares shall be valued, for
purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price has been paid
thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or (iii) by a
combination of the methods described in Sections 6(d)(i) and 6(d)(ii) hereof.
Payment in full of the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of
exercise provided the notice directs that the Stock certificate or certificates
for the shares for which the Option is exercised be delivered to a licensed
broker acceptable to the Corporation as the agent for the individual exercising
the Option and, at the time such Stock certificate or certificates are
delivered, the broker tenders to the Corporation cash (or cash equivalents
acceptable to the Corporation) equal to the Option Price plus the amount (if
any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Corporation may, in its judgment,
be required to withhold with respect to the exercise of the Option.  An attempt
to exercise any Option granted hereunder other than as set forth above shall be
invalid and of no force and effect.  Promptly after the exercise of an Option
and the payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock covered
thereby, the Optionee shall be entitled to the issuance of a Stock certificate
or certificates evidencing such individual's ownership of such shares.  An
individual holding or exercising the Option shall have none of the rights of a
stockholder until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully paid and issued
to such individual and, except as provided in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment
shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date of such issuance.

7.               PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES; TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
                 AFTER SECURITIES ARE PUBLICLY TRADED

                 (a)      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

                 If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are
Publicly Traded, the Option shall remain exercisable for thirty (30) days
following a termination of the employment of the Optionee with the Corporation,
other than for Cause or by reason of the death or "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), to the extent
such Option was vested at the time of





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   8
termination.  At the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Option shall
terminate unless notice is given exercising such Option, and such Optionee
shall have no further right to purchase shares pursuant to such Option.  If the
termination of employment is for Cause, the Option shall terminate on the
termination of employment.  Whether a leave of absence or leave on military or
government service shall constitute a termination of employment for purposes of
this Stock Option Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, which
determination shall be final and conclusive.

                 (b)      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH

                 If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are
Publicly Traded, after the Optionee dies while employed by the Corporation, the
executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of such Optionee's
estate shall have the right at any time within 180 days after the date of such
Optionee's death, and prior to termination of the Option pursuant to Section
6(a) above, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option held by such Optionee
at the date of such Optionee's death, whether or not such Option was
exercisable immediately prior to such Optionee's death.

                 (c)      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DISABILITY

                 If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are
Publicly Traded, after the Optionee terminates employment with the Corporation
by reason of the "permanent and total disability" (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the Optionee, then such Optionee shall have
the right, at any time within 180 days after such termination of employment and
prior to termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6(a) above, to exercise,
in whole or in part, the Option held by such Optionee at the date of such
termination of employment, whether or not such Option was exercisable
immediately prior to such termination of employment.  Whether a termination of
employment is to be considered by reason of "permanent and total disability"
for purposes of this Stock Option Agreement shall be determined by the
Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive.

8.               TRANSFERABILITY.

                 During the lifetime of the Optionee, only such Optionee (or,
in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's guardian or
legal representative) may exercise the Option.

9.               REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

                 The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any
securities under the Option if the sale or issuance of such securities would
constitute a violation by the Optionee, the individual exercising the Option,
or the Corporation





                                      -5-
<PAGE>   9
of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority,
including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations.  If at any time the Corporation shall determine, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any securities
subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or under any governmental
regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection
with, the issuance or purchase of securities hereunder, the Option may not be
exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification,
consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions
not acceptable to the Corporation, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way
affect the date of termination of the Option.  Specifically in connection with
the 1933 Act, upon the exercise of the Option, unless a registration statement
under such act is in effect with respect to the securities covered by the
Option, the Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue such securities
unless the Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it that the holder
of such Option may acquire such securities pursuant to an exemption from
registration under such act.  Any determination in this connection by the
Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  The Corporation may, but
shall in no event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby
pursuant to the 1933 Act.  The Corporation shall not be obligated to take any
affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Option or the issuance
of securities pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any
governmental authority.  As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the
requirement that the Option shall not be exercisable until the securities
covered by such Option are registered or are exempt from registration, the
exercise of such Option (under circumstances in which the laws of such
jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such
registration or the availability of such an exemption.

10.              EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

                 (a)      CHANGES IN STOCK

                 If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or
decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or other securities of the Corporation on account of
any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares,
exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital
stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Corporation, occurring after the date of grant of the
Option, the number and kind of shares of Stock for which the Option was granted
shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate
interest of the Optionee immediately following such event shall, to the extent
practicable, be the same as immediately before such event.  Any such adjustment
in the Option shall not change the aggregate Option Price payable with respect
to shares that are subject





                                      -6-
<PAGE>   10
to the unexercised portion of the Option but shall include a corresponding
proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share.

                 (b)      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS THE
                          SURVIVING CORPORATION

                 Subject to Subsection 10(c) hereof, if the Corporation shall
be the surviving corporation in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of
the Corporation with one or more other corporations, the Option shall pertain
to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of
Stock subject to the Option would have been entitled immediately following such
reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate
adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price
thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares
remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization,
merger, or consolidation.

                 (c)      DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, SALE OF ASSETS,
                          REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS NOT
                          THE SURVIVING CORPORATION, ETC.

                 The Option shall terminate (i) upon the dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation, or (ii) upon a merger, consolidation, or
reorganization of the Corporation with one or more other corporations in which
the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, or (iii) upon a sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another person or entity,
or (iv) upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization (or other transaction if
so determined by the Board in its sole discretion) in which the Corporation is
the surviving corporation, that is approved by the Board and that results in
any person or entity (other than persons who are holders of Stock of the
Corporation at the time the Plan is approved by the stockholders and other than
an Affiliate) owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Corporation, except to the extent provision is made in
writing in connection with any such transaction covered by clauses (i) through
(iv) for the assumption of the Option or for the substitution for the Option of
a new option(s) covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or
subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of
shares and exercise prices, in which event the Option theretofore granted shall
continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.  In the event of any
such termination of the Option, the Optionee shall have the right (subject to
the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 6), during such period
occurring before such termination as the Board in its sole discretion shall
determine and designate, and in any event immediately before the occurrence of
such termination, to exercise such Option in whole or in part, to the extent
that such Option was otherwise exercisable at the time such termination occurs.
The Corporation shall send written notice of a transaction or event that will
result in such a termination to Optionee not later than the time at which the
Corporation gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

                 (d)      ADJUSTMENTS

                 Adjustments under this Section 10 related to stock or
securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Board, whose determination
in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  No fractional shares
of Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such
adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or
unit.

                 (e)      NO LIMITATIONS ON CORPORATION

                 The grant of the Option shall not affect or limit in any way
the right or power of the Corporation to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of
its business or assets.

11.              DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS

                 No provision in this Stock Option Agreement shall be construed
to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or service of
the Corporation or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any
contractual or other right or authority of the Corporation or any Affiliate
either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any
individual at any time, or to terminate any employment  between any individual
and the Corporation or an Affiliate.  In addition, notwithstanding anything
contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Option shall not be affected by any
change of duties or position of the Optionee (including a transfer to or from
the Corporation or an Affiliate), so long as such Optionee continues to be an
employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate.

12.              FORFEITURE OF RIGHTS

                 The Corporation at any time shall have the right to cause a
forfeiture of the rights of the Optionee on account of the Optionee taking
actions in competition with the Corporation.  Unless otherwise specified in an
employment agreement between the Corporation and the Optionee, the Optionee
takes actions in competition with the Corporation if he or she directly or
indirectly owns any interest in, operates, joins, controls or participates as a
partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enters into the employment
of, acts as a consultant to, or performs any services for, any entity which has
material operations which compete with any business in which the Corporation is
engaged during the Optionee's employment with the Corporation or at the time of
the Optionee's termination of employment.

                 The use of captions in this Stock Option Agreement is for the
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision
of such Stock Option Agreement.

14.              WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

                 The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from payments
of any kind otherwise due to an Optionee any federal, state, or local taxes of
any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any payments,
distributions and property transferred under this Stock Option Agreement.  At
the time of exercise, the Optionee shall pay to the Corporation any amount that
the Corporation may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such
withholding obligation.

15.              SEVERABILITY

                 If any provision of the Plan or this Stock Option Agreement
shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any
jurisdiction, the remaining provisions thereof and hereof shall be severable
and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain
enforceable in any other jurisdiction.

Agreement, the Plan and by applicable law limiting assignment and transfer of
this Stock Option Agreement and the Option provided for herein, this Stock
Option Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties

                        FORM OF LCC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                        1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
                      NON-INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


         This Stock Option Agreement is made as of ___________, 1996, by and
between LCC International, Inc., a Delaware (the "Corporation"), and
________________________, an individual who is employed by Corporation (the
"Optionee").

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted
and approved the LCC International, Inc. 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"), subject to approval by the stockholders of the Corporation, which Plan
authorizes the Corporation to grant to eligible individuals options for the
purchase of shares of the Corporation's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Stock"); and

         WHEREAS, the Corporation has determined that it is desirable and in
its best interests to grant to the Optionee, pursuant to the Plan, an option to
purchase a certain number of shares of Stock, in order to provide the Optionee
with an incentive to advance the interests of the Corporation and any Affiliate
thereof;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1.               GRANT OF OPTION

                 Subject to the terms of the Plan (attached hereto as Exhibit
A), and to the requisite approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the
Corporation, the Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option
(the "Option") to purchase from the Corporation, on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Option Agreement,
_____________________  (_______) shares of Stock.  This Option shall not
constitute an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The date of grant of
this Option is __________ [__], 1996, the date on which the grant of the Option
was approved by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the "Committee").

2.               PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stock Option
Agreement or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or
hereafter entered into by the Optionee and Corporation, except an agreement,
contract, or understanding hereafter





                                     - 1 -
<PAGE>   5


entered into that expressly modifies or excludes application of this Section
(the "Other Agreements"), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or
other  arrangement for the direct or indirect compensation of the Optionee
(including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which the
Optionee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in
cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Optionee (a "Benefit
Arrangement"), the Optionee shall have no right to receive any payment or other
benefit under the Plan, if, and to the extent that, such payment or benefit,
taking into account all other payments or benefits to or for the Optionee under
the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Plans, would cause any payment
or benefit to the Optionee under this Stock Option Agreement to be considered a
"parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as
then in effect (a "Parachute Payment").

3.               TERMS OF PLAN

                 The Option granted pursuant to this Stock Option Agreement is
granted subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.  All terms
and conditions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Stock Option
Agreement by reference and shall be deemed to be part of this Stock Option
Agreement, without regard to whether such terms and conditions are not
otherwise set forth in this Stock Option Agreement.  To the extent any
capitalized words used in this Stock Option Agreement are not defined, they
shall have the definitions stated for them in the Plan.  In the event that
there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Stock Option
Agreement and of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

4.               OPTION PRICE

                 The purchase price (the "Option Price") for the shares subject
to the Option granted by this Stock Option Agreement is $_____.

5.               VESTING IN OPTIONS

                 The Option becomes vested as to _____ percent of the shares
purchasable pursuant to the Option on the first anniversary of the date of
grant (the first "Anniversary Date"), if Optionee has been providing services
to Corporation continuously from the date of grant to the Anniversary Date.
Thereafter, so long as continuous service has not been interrupted, the Option
becomes vested as to an additional _________ percent of the shares subject to
the Option after each of the next ______ Anniversary Dates.  Service for this
purpose includes service as an employee, director, advisor or consultant
providing bona fide services to





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   6


Corporation or an Affiliate.  For purposes of the Stock Option Agreement,
termination of service would not be deemed to occur if the Optionee, after
terminating service in one capacity, continues to provide service to
Corporation or an Affiliate in another capacity.  Termination of service is
sometimes also referred to herein as termination of employment or other
relationship with Corporation or an Affiliate.

6.               TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTION

                 (a)      TERM

                 The Option shall terminate and all rights to purchase the
shares thereunder shall cease upon the expiration of ten years after the Grant
Date.

                 (b)      OPTION PERIOD AND LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE

                 The Optionee may exercise the Option (subject to the
limitations on exercise set forth in this Stock Option Agreement and in the
Plan), to the extent the Option is vested and has not terminated.  Any
limitation on the exercise of an Option may be rescinded, modified or waived by
the Committee, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time after
the Grant Date of the Option, so as to accelerate the time at which the Option
may be exercised.  The time at which the Option may be exercised will be
accelerated and the Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any
time and from time to time prior to termination of the Option after termination
of employment by reason of death of Optionee or "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the
Optionee.

                 (c)      LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections, in no event may the
Option be exercised:  (i) in whole or in part, after ten years following the
Grant Date, as set forth in Section 1 above, (ii) following termination of
employment for Cause (as defined in Section 13(a) below), (iii) if securities
of the Corporation or of any successor are not Publicly Traded, after twelve
months following termination of employment other than for Cause, or (iv) if
securities of the Corporation or of any successor are Publicly Traded,
following termination of employment except as provided in Sections 7(a), 7(b),
and 7(c) below.  If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are not
Publicly Traded, the Option may be exercised following termination of
employment other than for Cause, to the extent vested at the time of such
termination for the lesser of twelve months from the date of termination of
employment or ten years from the Grant Date.

                 (d)      METHOD OF EXERCISE

                 The Option may be exercised to the extent that shares have
become exercisable hereunder by delivery to the Corporation on any business
day, at its





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   7


principal office addressed to the attention of the Committee, of written notice
of exercise, which notice shall specify the number of shares for which the
Option is being exercised, and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the
Option Price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.  Payment of
the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of
the Option shall be made, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the
Option Agreement pertaining to an Option, (i) in cash or by certified check
payable to the order of the Corporation; (ii) through the tender to the
Corporation of shares of Stock, which shares shall be valued, for purposes of
determining the extent to which the Option Price has been paid thereby, at
their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or (iii) by a combination of
the methods described in Sections 6(d)(i) and 6(d)(ii) hereof.  Payment in full
of the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise provided
the notice directs that the Stock certificate or certificates for the shares
for which the Option is exercised be delivered to a licensed broker acceptable
to the Corporation  as the agent for the individual exercising the Option and,
at the time such Stock certificate or certificates are delivered, the broker
tenders to the Corporation cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the
Corporation) equal to the Option Price plus the amount (if any) of federal
and/or other taxes which the Corporation may, in its judgment, be required to
withhold with respect to the exercise of the Option.  An attempt to exercise
any Option granted hereunder other than as set forth above shall be invalid and
of no force and effect.  Promptly after the exercise of an Option and the
payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock covered thereby, the
Optionee shall be entitled to the issuance of a Stock certificate or
certificates evidencing such individual's ownership of such shares.  An
individual holding or exercising the Option shall have none of the rights of a
stockholder until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully paid and issued
to such individual and, except as provided in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment
shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date of such issuance.


7.               PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES; TERM AND EXERCISE OF
                 OPTIONS AFTER SECURITIES ARE PUBLICLY traded

                 (a)      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

                 If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are
Publicly Traded, the Option shall remain exercisable for thirty (30) days
following a termination of the employment of the Optionee with the Corporation,
other than for Cause or by reason of the death or "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), to the extent
such Option was vested at the time of termination.  At the end of such thirty
(30) day period, the Option shall terminate unless notice is given exercising
such Option, and such Optionee shall have no further right to purchase shares
pursuant to such Option.  If the termination of employment is for Cause, the
Option shall terminate on the termination of





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   8


employment.  Whether a leave of absence or leave on military or government
service shall constitute a termination of employment for purposes of this Stock
Option Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, which determination
shall be final and conclusive.

                 (b)      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH

                 If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are
Publicly Traded, after the Optionee dies while employed by the Corporation, the
executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of such Optionee's
estate shall have the right at any time within 180 days after the date of such
Optionee's death, and prior to termination of the Option pursuant to Section
6(a) above, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option held by such Optionee
at the date of such Optionee's death, whether or not such Option was
exercisable immediately prior to such Optionee's death.

                 (c)      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DISABILITY

                 If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are
Publicly Traded, after the Optionee terminates employment with the Corporation
by reason of the "permanent and total  disability" (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the Optionee, then such Optionee shall have
the right, at any time within 180 days after such termination of employment and
prior to termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6(a) above, to exercise,
in whole or in part, the Option held by such Optionee at the date of such
termination of employment, whether or not such Option was exercisable
immediately prior to such termination of employment.  Whether a termination of
employment is to be considered by reason of "permanent and total disability"
for purposes of this Stock Option Agreement shall be determined by the
Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive.

8.               TRANSFERABILITY.

                 During the lifetime of the Optionee, only such Optionee (or,
in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's guardian or
legal representative) may exercise the Option.

9.               REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

                 The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any
securities under the Option if the sale or issuance of such securities would
constitute a violation by the Optionee, the individual exercising the Option,
or the Corporation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any
governmental authority, including without limitation any federal or state
securities laws or regulations.  If at any time the Corporation shall
determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification
of any securities subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or





                                      -5-
<PAGE>   9


under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition
of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of securities hereunder,
the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Corporation, and any
delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of the
Option.  Specifically in connection with the 1933 Act, upon the exercise of the
Option, unless a registration statement under such act is in effect with
respect to the securities covered by the Option, the Corporation shall not be
required to sell or issue such securities unless the Committee has received
evidence satisfactory to it that the holder of such Option may acquire such
securities pursuant to an exemption from registration under such act.  Any
determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and
conclusive.  The Corporation may, but shall in no event be obligated to,
register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the 1933 Act.  The
Corporation shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to
cause the exercise of the Option or the issuance of securities pursuant thereto
to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.  As to any
jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that the Option shall not
be exercisable until the securities covered by such Option are registered or
are exempt from registration, the exercise of such Option (under circumstances
in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon
the effectiveness of such registration  or the availability of such an
exemption.


10.              EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

                 (a)      CHANGES IN STOCK

                 If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or
decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or other securities of the Corporation on account of
any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares,
exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital
stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Corporation, occurring after the date of grant of the
Option, the number and kind of shares of Stock for which the Option was granted
shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate
interest of the Optionee immediately following such event shall, to the extent
practicable, be the same as immediately before such event.  Any such adjustment
in the Option shall not change the aggregate Option Price payable with respect
to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of the Option but shall
include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share.





                                      -6-
<PAGE>   10


                 (b)      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS THE
                          SURVIVING CORPORATION

                 Subject to Subsection 10(c) hereof, if the Corporation shall
be the surviving corporation in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of
the Corporation with one or more other corporations, the Option shall pertain
to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of
Stock subject to the Option would have been entitled immediately following such
reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate
adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price
thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares
remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization,
merger, or consolidation.

                 (c)      DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, SALE OF ASSETS,
                          REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS NOT THE
                          SURVIVING CORPORATION, ETC.

                 The Option shall terminate (i) upon the dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation, or (ii) upon a merger, consolidation, or
reorganization of the Corporation with one or more other corporations in which
the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, or (iii) upon a sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another person or entity,
or (iv) upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization (or other transaction if
so determined by the Board in its sole discretion) in which the Corporation is
the surviving corporation, that is approved by the Board and that results in
any person or entity (other than persons who are holders of Stock of the
Corporation at the time the Plan is approved by the stockholders and other than
an Affiliate) owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Corporation, except to the extent provision is made in
writing in connection with any such transaction covered by clauses (i)  through
(iv) for the assumption of the Option or for the substitution for the Option of
a new option(s) covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or
subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of
shares and exercise prices, in which event the Option theretofore granted shall
continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.  In the event of any
such termination of the Option, the Optionee shall have the right (subject to
the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 6), during such period
occurring before such termination as the Board in its sole discretion shall
determine and designate, and in any event immediately before the occurrence of
such termination, to exercise such Option in whole or in part, to the extent
that such Option was otherwise exercisable at the time such termination occurs.
The Corporation shall send written notice of a transaction or event that will
result in such a termination to Optionee not later than the time at which the

                 Adjustments under this Section 10 related to stock or
securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Board, whose determination
in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  No fractional shares
of Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such
adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or
unit.

                 (e)      NO LIMITATIONS ON CORPORATION

                 The grant of the Option shall not affect or limit in any way

reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of

the Corporation or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any
contractual or other right or authority of the Corporation or any Affiliate
either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any
individual at any time, or to terminate any employment  between any individual
and the Corporation or an Affiliate.  In addition, notwithstanding anything
contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Option shall not be affected by any
change of duties or position of the Optionee (including a transfer to or from
the Corporation or an Affiliate), so long as such Optionee continues to be an
employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate.

12.              FORFEITURE OF RIGHTS

                 The Corporation at any time shall have the right to cause a
forfeiture of the rights of the Optionee on account of the Optionee taking
actions in competition with the Corporation.  Unless otherwise specified in an
employment agreement between the Corporation and the Optionee, the Optionee
takes actions in competition with the Corporation if he or she directly or
indirectly owns any interest in, operates, joins, controls or participates as a
partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enters into the employment
of, acts as a consultant to, or performs any services for, any entity which has
material operations which compete with any business in which the Corporation is
engaged during the Optionee's employment with the Corporation or at the time of
the Optionee's termination of employment.

                        FORM OF LCC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                        1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
                      NON-INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


         This Stock Option Agreement is made as of _______________, 1996, by and
between LCC International, Inc., a Delaware (the "Corporation"), and
________________________, an individual who is employed by Corporation (the
"Optionee").

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted
and approved the LCC International, Inc. 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"), subject to approval by the stockholders of the Corporation, which Plan
authorizes the Corporation to grant to eligible individuals options for the
purchase of shares of the Corporation's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Stock"); and

         WHEREAS, the Corporation has determined that it is desirable and in
its best interests to grant to the Optionee, pursuant to the Plan, an option to
purchase a certain number of shares of Stock, in order to provide the Optionee
with an incentive to advance the interests of the Corporation and any Affiliate
thereof;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1.               GRANT OF OPTION

                 Subject to the terms of the Plan (attached hereto as Exhibit
A), and to the requisite approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the
Corporation, the Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option
(the "Option") to purchase from the Corporation, on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Option Agreement,
_____________________  (_______) shares of Stock.  This Option shall not
constitute an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The date of grant of
this Option is __________ [__], 1996, the date on which the grant of the Option
was approved by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the "Committee").

2.               PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stock Option
Agreement or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or
hereafter





                                     - 1 -
<PAGE>   5



entered into by the Optionee and Corporation, except an agreement, contract, or
understanding hereafter entered into that expressly modifies or excludes
application of this Section (the "Other Agreements"), and notwithstanding any
formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect
compensation of the Optionee (including groups or classes of participants or
beneficiaries of which the Optionee is a member), whether or not such
compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for
the Optionee (a "Benefit Arrangement"), the Optionee shall have no right to
receive any payment or other benefit under the Plan, if, and to the extent
that, such payment or benefit, taking into account all other payments or
benefits to or for the Optionee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all
Benefit Plans, would cause any payment or benefit to the Optionee under this
Stock Option Agreement to be considered a "parachute payment" within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a "Parachute
Payment").

3.               TERMS OF PLAN

                 The Option granted pursuant to this Stock Option Agreement is
granted subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.  All terms
and conditions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Stock Option
Agreement by reference and shall be deemed to be part of this Stock Option
Agreement, without regard to whether such terms and conditions are not
otherwise set forth in this Stock Option Agreement.  To the extent any
capitalized words used in this Stock Option Agreement are not defined, they
shall have the definitions stated for them in the Plan.  In the event that
there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Stock Option
Agreement and of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

4.               OPTION PRICE

                 The purchase price (the "Option Price") for the shares subject
to the Option granted by this Stock Option Agreement is $_____.

5.               VESTING IN OPTIONS

                 The Option becomes vested as to _____ percent of the shares
purchasable pursuant to the Option on the first anniversary of the date of
grant (the first "Anniversary Date"), if Optionee has been providing services
to Corporation continuously from the date of grant to the Anniversary Date.
Thereafter, so long as continuous service has not been interrupted, the Option
becomes vested as to an additional _________ percent of the shares subject to
the Option after each of the next ______ Anniversary Dates.  Service for this
purpose includes service as an employee, director, advisor or consultant
providing bona fide services to Corporation or an Affiliate.  For purposes of
the Stock Option Agreement, termination of service would not be deemed to occur
if the Optionee, after terminating service in one capacity, continues to
provide service to





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   6



Corporation or an Affiliate in another capacity.  Termination of service is
sometimes also referred to herein as termination of employment or other
relationship with Corporation or an Affiliate.

6.               TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTION

                 (a)      TERM

                 The Option shall terminate and all rights to purchase the
shares thereunder shall cease upon the expiration of ten years after the Grant
Date.

                 (b)      OPTION PERIOD AND LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE

                 The Optionee may exercise the Option (subject to the
limitations on exercise set forth in this Stock Option Agreement and in the
Plan), to the extent the Option is vested and has not terminated.  Any
limitation on the exercise of an Option may be rescinded, modified or waived by
the Committee, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time after
the Grant Date of the Option, so as to accelerate the time at which the Option
may be exercised.  The time at which the Option may be exercised will be
accelerated and the Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any
time and from time to time prior to termination of the Option after termination
of employment by reason of death of Optionee or "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the
optionee.

                 (c)      LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections, in no event may the
Option be exercised:  (i) in whole or in part, after ten years following the
Grant Date, as set forth in Section 1 above, (ii) following termination of
employment for Cause (as defined in Section 13(a) below), (iii) if securities
of the Corporation or of any successor are not Publicly Traded, after twelve
months following termination of employment other than for Cause, or (iv) if
securities of the Corporation or of any successor are Publicly Traded,
following termination of employment except as provided in Sections 7(a), 7(b),
and 7(c) below.  If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are not
Publicly Traded, the Option may be exercised following termination of
employment other than for Cause, to the extent vested at the time of such
termination for the lesser of twelve months from the date of termination of
employment or ten years from the Grant Date.

                 (d)      METHOD OF EXERCISE

          The Option may be exercised to the extent that shares have become
exercisable hereunder by delivery to the Corporation on any business day, at
its





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   7



principal office addressed to the attention of the Committee, of written notice
of exercise, which notice shall specify the number of shares for which the
Option is being exercised, and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the
Option Price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.  Payment of
the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of
the Option shall be made, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the
Option Agreement pertaining to an Option, (i) in cash or by certified check
payable to the order of the Corporation; (ii) through the tender to the
Corporation of shares of Stock, which shares shall be valued, for purposes of
determining the extent to which the Option Price has been paid thereby, at
their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or (iii) by a combination of
the methods described in Sections 6(d)(i) and 6(d)(ii) hereof.  Payment in full
of the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise provided
the notice directs that the Stock certificate or certificates for the shares
for which the Option is exercised be delivered to a licensed broker acceptable
to the Corporation  as the agent for the individual exercising the Option and,
at the time such Stock certificate or certificates are delivered, the broker
tenders to the Corporation cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the
Corporation) equal to the Option Price plus the amount (if any) of federal
and/or other taxes which the Corporation may, in its judgment, be required to
withhold with respect to the exercise of the Option.  An attempt to exercise
any Option granted hereunder other than as set forth above shall be invalid and
of no force and effect.  Promptly after the exercise of an Option and the
payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock covered thereby, the
Optionee shall be entitled to the issuance of a Stock certificate or
certificates evidencing such individual's ownership of such shares.  An
individual holding or exercising the Option shall have none of the rights of a
stockholder until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully paid and issued
to such individual and, except as provided in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment
shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date of such issuance.


7.               PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES; TERM AND EXERCISE OF 
                 OPTIONS AFTER SECURITIES ARE PUBLICLY TRADED

                 (a)      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

                 If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are
Publicly Traded, the Option shall remain exercisable for thirty (30) days
following a termination of the employment of the Optionee with the Corporation,
other than for Cause or by reason of the death or "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), to the extent
such Option was vested at the time of termination.  At the end of such thirty
(30) day period, the Option shall terminate unless notice is given exercising
such Option, and such Optionee shall have no further right to purchase shares
pursuant to such Option.  If the termination of employment is for Cause, the
Option shall terminate on the termination of





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   8



employment.  Whether a leave of absence or leave on military or government
service shall constitute a termination of employment for purposes of this Stock
Option Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, which determination
shall be final and conclusive.

                 (b)      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH

                 If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are
Publicly Traded, after the Optionee dies while employed by the Corporation, the
executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of such Optionee's
estate shall have the right at any time within 180 days after the date of such
Optionee's death, and prior to termination of the Option pursuant to Section
6(a) above, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option held by such Optionee
at the date of such Optionee's death, whether or not such Option was
exercisable immediately prior to such Optionee's death.

                 (c)      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DISABILITY

                 If securities of the Corporation or of any successor are
Publicly Traded, after the Optionee terminates employment with the Corporation
by reason of the "permanent and total  disability" (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the Optionee, then such Optionee shall have
the right, at any time within 180 days after such termination of employment and
prior to termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6(a) above, to exercise,
in whole or in part, the Option held by such Optionee at the date of such
termination of employment, whether or not such Option was exercisable
immediately prior to such termination of employment.  Whether a termination of
employment is to be considered by reason of "permanent and total disability"
for purposes of this Stock Option Agreement shall be determined by the
Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive.


8.               TRANSFERABILITY.

                 During the lifetime of the Optionee, only such Optionee (or,
in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's guardian or
legal representative) may exercise the Option.

9.               REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

                 The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any
securities under the Option if the sale or issuance of such securities would
constitute a violation by the Optionee, the individual exercising the Option,
or the Corporation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any
governmental authority, including without limitation any federal or state
securities laws or regulations.  If at any time the Corporation shall
determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification
of any securities subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   9



under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition
of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of securities hereunder,
the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Corporation, and any
delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of the
Option.  Specifically in connection with the 1933 Act, upon the exercise of the
Option, unless a registration statement under such act is in effect with
respect to the securities covered by the Option, the Corporation shall not be
required to sell or issue such securities unless the Committee has received
evidence satisfactory to it that the holder of such Option may acquire such
securities pursuant to an exemption from registration under such act.  Any
determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and
conclusive.  The Corporation may, but shall in no event be obligated to,
register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the 1933 Act.  The
Corporation shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to
cause the exercise of the Option or the issuance of securities pursuant thereto
to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.  As to any
jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that the Option shall not
be exercisable until the securities covered by such Option are registered or
are exempt from registration, the exercise of such Option (under circumstances
in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon
the effectiveness of such registration  or the availability of such an
exemption.


10.              EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

                 (a)      CHANGES IN STOCK

                 If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or
decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or other securities of the Corporation on account of
any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares,
exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital
stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Corporation, occurring after the date of grant of the
Option, the number and kind of shares of Stock for which the Option was granted
shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate
interest of the Optionee immediately following such event shall, to the extent
practicable, be the same as immediately before such event.  Any such adjustment
in the Option shall not change the aggregate Option Price payable with respect
to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of the Option but shall
include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share.

                 (b)      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS THE
                          SURVIVING CORPORATION

                 Subject to Subsection 10(c) hereof, if the Corporation shall
be the surviving corporation in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of
the Corporation with one or more other corporations, the Option shall pertain
to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of
Stock subject to the Option would have been entitled immediately following such
reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate
adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price
thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares
remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization,
merger, or consolidation.

                 (c)      DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, SALE OF ASSETS,
                          REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS NOT THE
                          SURVIVING CORPORATION, ETC.

                 The Option shall terminate (i) upon the dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation, or (ii) upon a merger, consolidation, or
reorganization of the Corporation with one or more other corporations in which
the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, or (iii) upon a sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another person or entity,
or (iv) upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization (or other transaction if
so determined by the Board in its sole discretion) in which the Corporation is
the surviving corporation, that is approved by the Board and that results in
any person or entity (other than persons who are holders of Stock of the
Corporation at the time the Plan is approved by the stockholders and other than
an Affiliate) owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Corporation, except to the extent provision is made in
writing in connection with any such transaction covered by clauses (i)  through
(iv) for the assumption of the Option or for the substitution for the Option of
a new option(s) covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or
subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of
shares and exercise prices, in which event the Option theretofore granted shall
continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.  In the event of any
such termination of the Option, the Optionee shall have the right (subject to
the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 6), during such period
occurring before such termination as the Board in its sole discretion shall
determine and designate, and in any event immediately before the occurrence of
such termination, to exercise such Option in whole or in part, to the extent
that such Option was otherwise exercisable at the time such termination occurs.
The Corporation shall send written notice of a transaction or event that will
result in such a termination to Optionee not later than the time at which the
Corporation gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

                 (d)      ADJUSTMENTS

                 Adjustments under this Section 10 related to stock or
securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Board, whose determination
in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  No fractional shares
of Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such
adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or
unit.

                 (e)      NO LIMITATIONS ON CORPORATION

                 The grant of the Option shall not affect or limit in any way
the right or power of the Corporation to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of
its business or assets.

11.              DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS

                 No provision in this Stock Option Agreement shall be construed
to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or service of
the Corporation or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any
contractual or other right or authority of the Corporation or any Affiliate
either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any
individual at any time, or to terminate any employment  between any individual
and the Corporation or an Affiliate.  In addition, notwithstanding anything
contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Option shall not be affected by any
change of duties or position of the Optionee (including a transfer to or from
the Corporation or an Affiliate), so long as such Optionee continues to be an
employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate.

12.              FORFEITURE OF RIGHTS

                 The Corporation at any time shall have the right to cause a
forfeiture of the rights of the Optionee on account of the Optionee taking
actions in competition with the Corporation.  Unless otherwise specified in an
employment agreement between the Corporation and the Optionee, the Optionee
takes actions in competition with the Corporation if he or she directly or
indirectly owns any interest in, operates, joins, controls or participates as a
partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enters into the employment
of, acts as a consultant to, or performs any services for, any entity which has
material operations which compete with any business in which the Corporation is
engaged during the Optionee's employment with the Corporation or at the time of
the Optionee's termination of employment.

13.              CAPTIONS

                 The use of captions in this Stock Option Agreement is for the
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision
of such Stock Option Agreement.

14.              WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

                 The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from payments
of any kind otherwise due to an Optionee any federal, state, or local taxes of
any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any payments,
distributions and property transferred under this Stock Option Agreement.  At
the time of exercise, the Optionee shall pay to the Corporation any amount that
the Corporation may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such
withholding obligation.

15.              SEVERABILITY

                 If any provision of the Plan or this Stock Option Agreement
shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any
jurisdiction, the remaining provisions thereof and hereof shall be severable
and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain
enforceable in any other jurisdiction.


16.              INTERPRETATION OF THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                 All decisions and interpretations made by the Corporation or
the Committee with regard to any question arising under the Plan or this Stock

the Optionee and any other person entitled to exercise the Option as provided
for herein.

17.              GOVERNING LAW

                 The validity and construction of this Stock Option Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware but not including the
choice of law rules thereof.

18.              BINDING EFFECT

                 Subject to all restrictions provided for in this Stock Option
Agreement, the Plan and by applicable law limiting assignment and transfer of
this Stock Option Agreement and the Option provided for herein, this Stock
Option Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties

                            LCC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                          DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN
                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                 This Stock Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") is made
as of the ____ day of ______, 1996, by and between LCC International, Inc. (the
"Corporation") and ______________, a non-employee director of the Corporation
(the "Optionee").

                 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
"Board") has duly adopted, and the shareholders of the Corporation have duly
approved, the Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which provides for the
grant to certain non-employee directors of a specified number of options for
the purchase of shares of the Corporation's Class A Common Stock, $.01 par
value (the "Class A Stock"), subject to shareholder approval of the Plan;

                 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

                 1.       GRANT OF OPTION.

                 Subject to the terms of the Plan (attached hereto as Exhibit
A, the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein), the Corporation
hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option (the "Option") to purchase
from the Corporation, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter
set forth, 10,000 shares of Class A Stock.  This Option shall not constitute an
incentive stock option within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

                 2.       PRICE.

                 The purchase price (the "Option Price") for the shares of
Class A Stock subject to the Option granted by this Option Agreement is $______
per share (the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date).

                 3.       EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option granted
pursuant to this Option Agreement shall be subject to exercise as follows:





                                      -1-
<PAGE>   4
                 3.1      TIME OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 The Optionee may exercise the Option (subject to the
limitations on exercise set forth in the Plan or in this Option Agreement
relating to such Option), in installments as follows:  on the first anniversary
of the Grant Date of the Option, as set forth in Section 12 below, the Option
shall be exercisable in respect of 33 1/3 percent of the number of shares
specified in Section 1 above, and the Option shall be exercisable in respect of
an additional 33 1/3 percent of the number of shares specified in Section 1
above on each of the next two anniversaries of the Grant Date, as set forth in
Section 12 below.  The foregoing installments, to the extent not exercised,
shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from
time to time, after becoming exercisable and prior to the termination of the
Option; provided, that no single exercise of the Option shall be for less than
100 shares, unless the number of shares purchased is the total number at the
time available for purchase under this Option.

                 3.2      CHANGE OF CONTROL.

                 In the event of a "Change of Control", all non-vested Options
outstanding under the Plan shall become immediately exercisable.  For purposes
of this Plan, "Change of Control" means:

                 (a)      execution by the Corporation of an agreement for the
merger of the Corporation into or with another corporation, the result of which
would be that the stockholders of the Corporation at the time of execution of
such agreement would own less than 50% of the total equity of the corporation
surviving the merger; or

                 (b)      the sale of assets of the Corporation having an
aggregate book value of 40% or more of the total book value of all assets of
the Corporation as shown on the then most recent annual audited financial
statement of the Corporation; or

                 (c)      a change of control of a nature that would be
required to be reported in response to Item 5(f) of Schedule 14A of Regulation
14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, provided that, without limitation, such
a change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as
such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or
becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 50%
of the Corporation's then outstanding securities.

                 3.3      EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE.

                 During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee (or, in
the event of the Optionee's legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's
guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option.

                 3.4      LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing Subsections of this Section, in
no event may the Option be exercised, in whole or in part, after 10 years
following the date upon which the Option is granted, as set forth in Section 12
below, or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 7 below which
results in termination of the Option.  In no event may the Option be exercised
for a fractional Share.

                 3.5      TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

                 Upon the termination of service (a "Service Termination") of
the Optionee in all capacities as an employee and/or director of the
Corporation and all of its affiliated companies, other than by reason of the
death or permanent and total disability of such Optionee, Optionee shall have
the right at any time within 60 days after such Service Termination and prior
to termination of the Option pursuant to Section 3.4 above, to exercise, in
whole or in part, any Option held by such Optionee at the date of such Service
Termination, to the extent such Option was exercisable immediately prior to
such Service Termination.

                 3.6      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH.

                 If an Optionee dies while in service as a director of the
Corporation, the executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of
such Optionee's estate shall have the right, at any time within 180 days after
the date of such Optionee's death and prior to termination of the Option
pursuant to Section 3.4 above, to exercise any Option held by such Optionee at
the date of such Optionee's death, whether or not such Option was exercisable
immediately prior to such Optionee's death.

                 3.7      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DISABILITY.

                 If there is a Service Termination by reason of the permanent
and total disability of the Optionee, then such Optionee shall have the right
at any time within 180 days after such Service Termination and prior to
termination of the Option pursuant to Section 3.3 above, to exercise, in whole
or in part, any Option held by such Optionee at the date of such Service
Termination, whether or not such Option was exercisable immediately prior to
such Service Termination.  Whether a Service Termination is to be considered by
reason of permanent and total disability for purposes of this Plan shall be
determined by the Administrator, which determination shall be final and
conclusive.

<PAGE>   6

                 3.8      REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTION.

                 The number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of
the Option pursuant to this Section shall be reduced by the number of shares
previously purchased upon exercise of the Option pursuant to this Section.

                 4.       METHOD OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 The Option may be exercised to the extent that shares have
become exercisable hereunder by delivery to the Corporation on any business
day, at its principal office addressed to the attention of the Administrator,
of written notice of exercise, which notice shall specify the number of shares
for which the Option is being exercised, and shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the Option Price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.
Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Class A Stock purchased pursuant
to the exercise of an Option shall be made (a) in cash or by certified check
payable to the order of the Corporation; (b) through the tender to the
Corporation of shares of Class A Stock, which shares shall be valued, for
purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price has been paid
thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or (c) by a
combination of the methods described in (a) and (b) hereof.  Payment in full of
the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise provided the
notice directs that the Class A Stock certificate or certificates for the
shares for which the Option is exercised be delivered to a licensed broker
acceptable to the Corporation as the agent for the individual exercising the
Option and, at the time such Class A Stock certificate or certificates are
delivered, the broker tenders to the Corporation cash (or cash equivalents
acceptable to the Corporation) equal to the Option Price.  An attempt to
exercise the Option granted other than as set forth above shall be invalid and
of no force and effect.  Promptly after the exercise of the Option and the
payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Class A Stock covered
thereby, the Optionee shall be entitled to the issuance of a Class A Stock
certificate or certificates evidencing such individual's ownership of such
shares.

                 5.       LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER.

                 The Option is not transferable by the Optionee, other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of death of the
Optionee and shall not be pledged or hypothecated (by operation of law or
otherwise) or subject to execution, attachment or similar processes.





                                      -4-

                 6.       RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.

                 Neither the Optionee nor any executor, administrator,
distributee or legatee of the Optionee's estate shall be, or have any of the
rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of any
shares transferable hereunder unless and until such shares have been fully paid
and certificates representing such shares have been endorsed, transferred and
delivered, and the name of the Optionee (or of such personal representative,
administrator, distributee or legatee of the Optionee's estate) has been
entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Corporation.

                 7.       EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

                 7.1      CHANGES IN SHARES.

                 If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Stock is
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or
kind of stock or other securities of the Corporation by reason of any
recapitalization, reclassification, Class A Stock split, reverse split,
combination of Class A Stock, exchange of Class A Stock, Class A Stock dividend
or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease
in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation
occurring after the date the Option is granted, a proportionate and appropriate
adjustment shall be made by the Corporation in the number and kind of shares
subject to the Option, so that the proportionate interest of the Optionee
immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same
as immediately prior to such event.  Any such adjustment in the Option shall
not change the total Option Price with respect to shares subject to the
unexercised portion of the Option but shall include a corresponding
proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share.

                 7.2      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS THE
                          SURVIVING ENTITY.

                 Subject to Section 7.3 of this Section, if the Corporation
shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger or consolidation of
the Corporation with one or more other entities, the Option shall pertain to
and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares subject
to the Option would have been entitled immediately following such
reorganization, merger or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate
adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price
thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares
remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization,
merger or consolidation.

                 7.3      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS NOT THE
                          SURVIVING CORPORATION OR SALE OF ASSETS OR STOCK.

                 Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or
upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Corporation with one or
more other corporations in which the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation to another corporation, or upon any transaction (including, without
limitation, a merger or reorganization in which the Corporation is the
surviving corporation) approved by the Board which results in any person or
entity owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Corporation, the Option shall terminate, except to the extent
provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the
assumption of the Option, or for the substitution for the Option of a new
option covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary
thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and
exercise prices, in which event the Option shall continue in the manner and
under the terms so provided.  In the event of any such termination of the
Option, the Optionee shall have the right immediately prior to the occurrence
of such termination and during such period occurring prior to such termination
as the Board in its sole discretion shall determine and designate, to exercise
the Option to the extent that the Option was otherwise exercisable at the time
such termination occurs.  The Administrator shall send written notice of an
event that will result in such a termination to the Optionee not later than the
time at which the Corporation gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

                 7.4      ADJUSTMENTS.

                 Adjustments specified in this Section relating to shares of
Class A Stock or securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  No
fractional shares or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any
such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or
unit.

                 8.       GENERAL RESTRICTIONS.

                 The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any
shares of Class A Stock under the Option if the sale or issuance of such shares
would constitute a violation by the individual exercising the Option or by the
Corporation of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations.  If at any time the Corporation shall determine, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of
Class A Stock subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or under any
state or federal law, or the consent or approval of





                                      -6-
<PAGE>   9
any government regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or
in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares hereunder, the Option
may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of
any conditions not acceptable to the Corporation, and any delay caused thereby
shall in no way affect the date of termination of the Option.  Specifically in
connection with the Securities Act of 1933, upon notice of exercise of any
Option, unless a registration statement under such Act is in effect with
respect to the shares covered by such Option, the Corporation shall not be
required to sell or issue such shares unless the Board has received evidence
satisfactory to the Board that the holder of such Option may acquire such
shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under such Act.  Any
determination in this connection by the Corporation shall be final, binding,
and conclusive.  The Corporation shall not be obligated to take any affirmative
action in order to cause the exercise of the Option or the issuance of shares
of Class A Stock pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any
governmental authority.  As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the
requirement that the Option shall not be exercisable unless and until the
shares covered by the Option are registered or are subject to an available
exemption from registration, the exercise of the Option (under circumstances in
which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon the
effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such an exemption.

                 9.       DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS.

                 No provision in this Option Agreement shall be construed to
confer upon the Optionee the right to continue as a director of the
Corporation.

                 10.      INTERPRETATION OF THIS OPTION AGREEMENT.

                 All decisions and interpretations made by the Administrator
with regard to any question arising under the Plan or this Option Agreement
shall be binding and conclusive on the Corporation and the Optionee and any
other person entitled to exercise the Option as provided for herein.  In the
event that there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Option
Agreement and of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

                 11.      GOVERNING LAW.

                 This Option Agreement is executed pursuant to and shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (but not including the choice of
law rules thereof).

                 13.      BINDING EFFECT.

                 Subject to all restrictions provided for in this Option
Agreement and by applicable law relating to assignment and transfer of this
Option Agreement and the option provided for herein, this Option Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

                 14.      NOTICE.

                 Any notice hereunder by the Optionee to the Corporation shall
be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if mailed or delivered to the
Corporation at its principal office, addressed to the attention of the
Corporate Secretary, or if so mailed or delivered to such other address as the
Corporation may hereafter designate by notice to the Optionee.  Any notice
hereunder by the Corporation to the Optionee shall be in writing and shall be
deemed duly given if mailed or delivered to the Optionee at the address
specified below by the Optionee for such purpose, or if so mailed or delivered
to such other address as the Optionee may hereafter designate by written notice
given to the Corporation.

                 15.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

                 This Option Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Neither this Option
Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated
except by a written instrument signed by the Corporation and the Optionee;
provided, however, that the Corporation unilaterally may waive any provision
hereof in writing to the extent that such waiver does not adversely affect the
interests of the Optionee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be
construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any
other provision hereof.

                            LCC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                          DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN
                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


                 This Stock Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") is made
as of the ____ day of ______, 1996, by and between LCC International, Inc. (the
"Corporation") and Mark Ein, a non-employee director of the Corporation (the
"Optionee").

                 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
"Board") has duly adopted, and the shareholders of the Corporation have duly
approved, the Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which provides for the
grant to certain non-employee directors of a specified number of options for
the purchase of shares of the Corporation's Class A Common Stock, $.01 par
value (the "Class A Stock"), subject to shareholder approval of the Plan;

                 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:


                 1.       GRANT OF OPTION.

                 Subject to the terms of the Plan (attached hereto as Exhibit
A, the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein), the Corporation
hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option (the "Option") to purchase
from the Corporation, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter
set forth, 10,000 shares of Class A Stock.  This Option shall not constitute an
incentive stock option within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").


                 2.       PRICE.

                 The purchase price (the "Option Price") for the shares of
Class A Stock subject to the Option granted by this Option Agreement is $______
per share (the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date).


                 3.       EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option granted
pursuant to this Option Agreement shall be subject to exercise as follows:





                                      -1-
<PAGE>   4


                 3.1      TIME OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 The Optionee may exercise the Option (subject to the
limitations on exercise set forth in the Plan or in this Option Agreement
relating to such Option), in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, after the Grant Date and prior to the termination of the Option;
provided, that no single exercise of the Option shall be for less than 100
shares, unless the number of shares purchased is the total number at the time
available for purchase under this Option.

                 3.2      EXERCISE BY OPTIONEE.

                 During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee (or, in
the event of the Optionee's legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's
guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option.

                 3.3      LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing Subsections of this Section, in
no event may the Option be exercised, in whole or in part, after 10 years
following the date upon which the Option is granted, as set forth in Section 12
below, or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 7 below which
results in termination of the Option.  In no event may the Option be exercised
for a fractional Share.

                 3.4      TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

                 Upon the termination of service (a "Service Termination") of
the Optionee in all capacities as an employee and/or director of the
Corporation and all of its affiliated companies, other than by reason of the
death or permanent and total disability of such Optionee, Optionee shall have
the right at any time within 60 days after such Service Termination and prior
to termination of the Option pursuant to Section 3.3 above, to exercise, in
whole or in part, any Option held by such Optionee at the date of such Service
Termination.

                 3.5      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH.

                 3.6      RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DISABILITY.

                 If there is a Service Termination by reason of the permanent
and total disability of the Optionee, then such Optionee shall have the right
at any time within 180 days after such Service Termination and prior to
termination of the Option pursuant to Section 3.2 above, to exercise, in whole
or in part, any Option held by such Optionee at the date of such Service
Termination.  Whether a Service Termination is to be considered by reason of
permanent and total disability for purposes of this Plan shall be determined by
the Administrator, which determination shall be final and conclusive.

                 3.7      REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTION.

                 The number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of
the Option pursuant to this Section shall be reduced by the number of shares
previously purchased upon exercise of the Option pursuant to this Section.

                 4.       METHOD OF EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                 The Option may be exercised by delivery to the Corporation on
any business day, at its principal office addressed to the attention of the
Administrator, of written notice of exercise, which notice shall specify the
number of shares for which the Option is being exercised, and shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for which the
Option is being exercised.  Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Class
A Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made (a) in
cash or by certified check payable to the order of the Corporation; (b) through
the tender to the Corporation of shares of Class A Stock,  which shares shall
be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price has
been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; or (c)
by a combination of the methods described in (a) and (b) hereof.  Payment in
full of the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise
provided the notice directs that the Class A Stock certificate or certificates
for the shares for which the Option is exercised be delivered to a licensed
broker acceptable to the Corporation as the agent for the individual exercising
the Option and, at the time such Class A Stock certificate or certificates are
delivered, the broker tenders to the Corporation cash (or cash equivalents
acceptable to the Corporation) equal to the Option Price.  An attempt to
exercise the Option granted other than as set forth above shall be invalid and
of no force and effect.  Promptly after the exercise of the Option and the
payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Class A Stock covered
thereby, the Optionee shall be entitled to the issuance of a Class A Stock
certificate or certificates evidencing such individual's ownership of such
shares.

                 If an Optionee dies while in service as a director of the
Corporation, the executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of
such Optionee's estate shall have the right, at any time within 180 days after
the date of such Optionee's death and prior to termination of the Option
pursuant to Section 3.3 above, to exercise any Option held by such Optionee at
the date of such Optionee's death.

                 5.       LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER.

                 The Option is not transferable by the Optionee, other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of death of the
Optionee and shall not be pledged or hypothecated (by operation of law or
otherwise) or subject to execution, attachment or similar processes.





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   6

                 6.       RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.

                 Neither the Optionee nor any executor, administrator,
distributee or legatee of the Optionee's estate shall be, or have any of the
rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of any
shares transferable hereunder unless and until such shares have been fully paid
and certificates representing such shares have been endorsed, transferred and
delivered, and the name of the Optionee (or of such personal representative,
administrator, distributee or legatee of the Optionee's estate) has been
entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Corporation.

                 7.       EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

                 7.1      CHANGES IN SHARES.

                 If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Stock is
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or
kind of stock or other securities of the Corporation by reason of any
recapitalization, reclassification, Class A Stock split, reverse split,
combination of Class A Stock, exchange of Class A Stock, Class A Stock dividend
or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease
in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation
occurring after the date the Option is granted, a proportionate and appropriate
adjustment shall be made by the Corporation in the number and kind of shares
subject to the Option, so that the proportionate interest of the Optionee
immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same
as immediately prior to such event.  Any such adjustment in the Option shall
not change the total Option Price with respect to shares subject to the
unexercised portion of the Option but shall include a corresponding
proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share.

                 7.2      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS THE 
                          SURVIVING ENTITY.

                 Subject to Section 7.3 of this Section, if the Corporation
shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger or consolidation of
the Corporation with one or more other entities, the Option shall pertain to
and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares subject
to the Option would have been entitled immediately following such
reorganization, merger or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate
adjustment of the Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price
thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares
remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to such reorganization,
merger or consolidation.

                 7.3      REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS NOT THE
                          SURVIVING CORPORATION OR SALE OF ASSETS OR STOCK.

                 Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or
upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Corporation with one or
more other corporations in which the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation to another corporation, or upon any transaction (including, without
limitation, a merger or reorganization in which the Corporation is the
surviving corporation) approved by the Board which results in any person or
entity owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Corporation, the Option shall terminate, except to the extent
provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the
assumption of the Option, or for the substitution for the Option of a new
option covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary
thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and
exercise prices, in which event the Option shall continue in the manner and
under the terms so provided.  The Administrator shall send written notice of an
event that will result in such a termination to the Optionee not later than the
time at which the Corporation gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

                 7.4      ADJUSTMENTS.

                 Adjustments specified in this Section relating to shares of
Class A Stock or securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  No
fractional shares or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any
such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole  share or
unit.

                 8.       GENERAL RESTRICTIONS.

                 The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any
shares of Class A Stock under the Option if the sale or issuance of such shares
would constitute a violation by the individual exercising the Option or by the
Corporation of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations.  If at any time the Corporation shall determine, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of
Class A Stock subject to the Option upon any securities exchange or under any
state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any government regulatory
body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the
issuance or purchase of shares hereunder, the Option may not be exercised in
whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Corporation, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way
affect





                                      -5-
<PAGE>   8

the date of termination of the Option.  Specifically in connection with the
Securities Act of 1933, upon notice of exercise of any Option, unless a
registration statement under such Act is in effect with respect to the shares
covered by such Option, the Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue
such shares unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to the Board
that the holder of such Option may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption
from registration under such Act.  Any determination in this connection by the
Corporation shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  The Corporation shall not
be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of
the Option or the issuance of shares of Class A Stock pursuant thereto to
comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.  As to any
jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that the Option shall not
be exercisable unless and until the shares covered by the Option are registered
or are subject to an available exemption from registration, the exercise of the
Option (under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall
be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the
availability of such an exemption.

                 9.       DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS.

                 No provision in this Option Agreement shall be construed to
confer upon the Optionee the right to continue as a director of the
Corporation.

                 10.      INTERPRETATION OF THIS OPTION AGREEMENT.

                 All decisions and interpretations made by the Administrator
with regard to any question arising under the Plan or this Option Agreement
shall be binding and conclusive on the Corporation and the Optionee and any
other person entitled to exercise the Option as provided for herein.  In the
event that there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Option
Agreement and of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

                 11.      GOVERNING LAW.

                 This Option Agreement is executed pursuant to and shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (but not including the choice of
law rules thereof).

                 12.      GRANT DATE.

                 The Grant Date of this Option is _____, 1996.

                 13.      BINDING EFFECT.

                 Subject to all restrictions provided for in this Option
Agreement and by applicable law relating to assignment and transfer of this
Option Agreement and the option provided for herein, this Option Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

                 14.      NOTICE.

                 Any notice hereunder by the Optionee to the Corporation shall
be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if mailed or delivered to the
Corporation at its principal office, addressed to the attention of the
Corporate Secretary, or if so mailed or delivered to such other address as the
Corporation may hereafter designate by notice to the Optionee.  Any notice
hereunder by the Corporation to the Optionee shall be in writing and shall be
deemed duly given if mailed or delivered to the Optionee at the address
specified below by the Optionee for such purpose, or if so mailed or delivered
to such other address as the Optionee may hereafter designate by written notice
given to the Corporation.

                 15.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

                 This Option Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Neither this Option
Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated
except by a written instrument signed by the Corporation and the Optionee;
provided, however, that the Corporation unilaterally may waive any provision
hereof in writing to the extent that such waiver does not adversely affect the
interests of the Optionee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be
construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any
other provision hereof.

                   PHANTOM MEMBERSHIP PLAN EXCHANGE AGREEMENT



                 THIS PHANTOM MEMBERSHIP PLAN EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement") is made and dated as of September __, 1996, between LCC, L.L.C.
(the "Company"), and __________________ (the "Employee").

                 WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the 1994 Phantom Membership
Plan (the "Plan") and has made an award to Employee pursuant to the Plan;

                 WHEREAS, the Company and Employee have heretofore entered into
an agreement pursuant to 1994 Phantom Membership Plan dated as of ____________
__, 199_, (the "PMP Agreement") which contains the terms and conditions of the
award;

                 WHEREAS, the Plan provides that in the event of the
Closing of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering
the offer and sale of shares of capital stock of the Company to the public,
then the award shall be converted into shares of capital stock of the Company
or, to the extent not vested, shall cease and be replaced by a comparable 
award in the discretion of the Company; and

                 WHEREAS, in connection with the proposed sale to the public by
LCC International, Inc. of shares of its Class A Common Stock, par value $.01
per share, pursuant to the Registration Statement (File No. 333-6067) filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended (the "Initial Public
Offering") and the proposed merger of the Company into LCC International, Inc.
in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the "Merger"), the parties 
desire to enter into this Agreement modifying the PMP Agreement in order to 
provide for the conversion of the award into a grant of an option to purchase
shares of Class A Common Stock of LCC International, Inc. ("Stock") with an 
option exercise price equal to 25% of the Initial Public Offering Price of the
Stock.

                 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

                 1.       CONVERSION OF PMP AWARD INTO DISCOUNT OPTION

                          Pursuant to the Plan, the Company has issued an award
in the amount of ________ (the "Applicable Percentage") entitling Employee to
participate in distributable profits as determined by the LCC, L.L.C.
Membership Committee.  In connection with the Merger and the Initial Public
Offering, upon the effectiveness of the Merger, the award shall be converted 
into an option under the LCC International, Inc. 1996 Employee Stock Option 
Plan to purchase _______________ shares of Class A Common Stock at an option 
exercise price equal to 25% of the Initial Public Offering Price of the Stock.

                 2.       TERMS OF THE OPTION

                 The option shall terminate and all rights to purchase the
shares of Stock thereunder shall cease upon the expiration of ten years after
the date of the conversion.  The option shall become vested over the same
period that the award vested.  The option shall not be transferable and may be
exercised only by the Employee during his lifetime.  If any Employee's
employment with the Company terminates by reason of death or permanent and
total disability, the Employee's option, whether or not then exercisable, may
be exercised within 180 days after such death or disability (but not later than
the date the option would otherwise expire).  If the Employee's employment
terminates for any reason other than cause, death or disability, the option
held by the Employee will terminate 30 days after such termination (but not
later than the date the option would otherwise expire).    If the Employee's
employment terminates for cause, options held by Employee will terminate on
such termination.

                 3.       NO ASSIGNMENTS.  This Agreement is personal to each
of the parties hereto.  Neither party may assign or delegate any rights or
obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other
party hereto.  However, in the event of the death of the Employee, all rights
to receive payments hereunder shall become rights of the Employee's estate.

                 4.       AMENDMENT; MODIFICATION; WAIVER.  No amendments or
additions to this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by
both of the parties hereto.  No delay or failure at any time on the part of the
Company in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement, or in
enforcing any provision of this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power,
or privilege, or be construed as a waiver of any default or as any acquiescence
therein, or shall affect the right of the Company thereafter to enforce each
and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

                 5.       SECTION HEADINGS.  The section headings used in this
Agreement are included solely for convenience and shall not affect, or be used
in connection with, the interpretation of this Agreement.

                 6.       SEVERABILITY.  The provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

                 7.       NOTICES.  For purposes of this Agreement, notices and
all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered, sent by overnight

Dear Dr. Penzias:

addition to other compensation, stock options (i) having a Black-Scholes

grant, (iv) subject to vesting over a three year period in increments of 1/3
per year, and (v) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Directors Plan.

         The Company has adopted the Directors Plan, and proposes to grant or
has granted to you an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
of the Company (the "Option"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
the Directors Plan, including shareholder approval and completion of the

compensation.

         If the foregoing correctly sets forth our mutual understanding

possession of the premises for any reason whatsoever, and Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord because of Landlord's failure to deliver possession of
the Premises on the date fixed therefor.

3.       RENT.

         Tenant shall pay as rent for the Premises the following amounts (each
of which shall be considered rent and all of which are, unless the context

Lease Commencement Date is not the first day of the month, Tenant shall also
pay to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date a pro-rata monthly
installment of Base Rent for the fractional period of such month.  If the Lease
Expiration Date is not the last day of the month, a pro-rata monthly
installment of Base Rent shall be paid in advance at the then current rate for
the fractional period of such month.

         (b)     Increases in Taxes.

         Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent 3.103% (being the
agreed upon proportion which the rentable square feet of the Premises bear to
the total rentable are of 248,245 square feet in the Building) of the increase
in real estate taxes (including special assessments, if any, and any other
taxes now or hereafter imposed which are in the nature of or in substitution
for real estate taxes ("Taxes")) levied on the Building and the Land for any
calendar year subsequent to the Base Year over the Taxes for the Base Year.
For purposes hereof, the Taxes for the Base Year for the Building and the Land
shall be the actual taxes paid for calendar year 1992 (which for the purposes
of Articles 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) shall be the Base Year).  Under no
circumstances shall any inheritance, estate, succession, transfer, gift tax, or
capital levy be included in such definition and, further, that under no
circumstances shall any franchise, corporation, income or profit tax calculated
upon the Landlord's net income be passed through to the Tenant.  From time to
time, Landlord may, before, upon, or after the commencement of any calendar
year subsequent to the Base Year, notify Tenant of the amount which Landlord
estimates will be Tenant's share of such increases for such calendar year over
the Taxes for the Base Year, in which event the amount of such increase shall
be payable in equal amounts over the remainder of such calendar year as
provided in





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   10



Article 3(e).  Should the Taxes for any calendar year be either increased or
decreased as a result of a legal proceeding challenging the assessment of the
Building or the Land, or both, the amount payable by Tenant hereunder as
additional rent for such calendar year shall be adjusted to reflect such
increase or decrease.  Landlord may include in any such adjustment any
reasonable legal fees and costs incurred in conducting such legal proceedings.
Within ninety (90) days after the expiration of each calendar year in which
additional rent is payable pursuant to this Article 3(b), Landlord shall submit
a statement containing the actual increase of Taxes over the Taxes for the Base
Year and Tenant's proportionate share thereof.  Any overpayment or underpayment
of such increase shall be adjusted by payment within thirty (30) days for any
underpayment by Tenant or by prompt payment by Landlord to Tenant of any
overpayment or, at Landlord's election, by applying such overpayment as a
credit to succeeding monthly installments of rent.  In no event shall the Base
Rent set forth in Article 3(a) be reduced by the application of this Article
3(b).  Additional rent payable pursuant to this Article 3(b) shall be due and
payable commencing January 1, 1994.  Tenant shall not be responsible for any
additional rent payable pursuant to this Article 3(b) prior to January 1, 1994.

         (c)     Increases in Operating Expenses.

                 (i)      Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent
3.351% (being the agreed upon proportion which the rentable square feet of the
Premises bear to the total rentable office area of 229,809 square feet in the
Building) of the increase during the Term of this Lease in Operating Expenses
(as hereinafter defined) for any calendar year after the Base Year over the
Initial Operating Expenses which shall be the actual operating expenses for
calendar year 1992.  Additional rent payable pursuant to this Article 3(c)
shall be due and payable commencing January 1, 1994.  Tenant shall not be
responsible for any additional rent payable pursuant to this Article 3(b) prior
to January 1, 1994.

         Operating Expenses shall consist of all operating expenses of the
Building and Land, which shall be computed on the accrual basis and shall
consist of all expenses, costs and disbursements to operate, maintain and
repair all facilities initially installed in the Building or on the Land and

Building after the Lease Commencement Date, to be allocated in the following
manner.  If Landlord makes an expenditure for the installation of energy
conservation or labor-saving devices in the Building to reduce Operating
Expenses, and if, under generally accepted accounting principles, such
expenditure is not a current expense, the cost thereof shall be amortized over
the period of time, as estimated by Landlord in its judgment, in which the
estimated reduction in Operating Expenses will equal the amount of the
expenditure, and the amortized cost allocated to each calendar year of the
Lease shall be treated as an Operating Expense.  If Landlord makes an
expenditure for any other capital improvement of the Building, and if, under
generally accepted accounting principles, such expenditure is not a current
expense,





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   12



the cost thereof shall be amortized over a period equal to the useful life of
such improvements, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and the amortized cost allocated to each calendar year of the Lease
shall be treated as an Operating Expense.  There shall also be included in
Operating Expenses interest on the unamortized balance of any such capital
improvements at the rate paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for the purpose of
constructing such capital improvements.

                 (6)      The cost of correcting defects in the construction of

certificate of "Core Completion" for the Building;

                 (10)     Any operating expense representing an amount paid to

                 (14)     Ground rent or similar payments to a ground lessor;

                 (20)     The cost of any repair made by Landlord because of

                          (ii)    For each calendar year during the Term of
this Lease following the Base Year, Landlord shall provide Tenant a comparison
of Initial Operating Expenses and the projected Operating Expenses for such
year.  From time to time, Landlord may, before, upon or after the commencement
of any calendar year subsequent to the Base Year, notify Tenant in writing of
the amount which Landlord estimates will be Tenant's share of the increase in
Operating Expenses for such calendar year of the Lease over Initial Operating
Expenses, in which event the amount of such increase shall be payable in equal
amounts over the remainder of such calendar year as provided in Article 3(e).
Landlord shall, within the period of ninety (90) days, or as soon thereafter as
possible, after the close of each calendar year following the Base Year,
provide to Tenant upon request, a reasonably detailed line item statement of
such year's actual Operating Expenses, showing the actual increase in
Landlord's Operating Expenses over the Initial Operating Expense and Tenant's
share of such increase.  Any overpayment or underpayment of such increase shall
be adjusted by payment within thirty (30) days for any underpayment by Tenant
or by prompt payment by Landlord to Tenant of any overpayment or, at Landlord's
election, by applying such overpayment as a credit to succeeding monthly
installments of rent.  In no event shall the Base Rent set forth in Article
3(a) be reduced by the application of this Article 3(c).  The payment of any
additional rent by Tenant shall not preclude it from questioning the
correctness of any Operating Expense statement.  Tenant and its authorized
representatives shall have the right to review Landlord's records with respect
to Operating Expenses.

                 (iii)    The annual statement of Operating Expenses shall be
prepared by Landlord and signed by an authorized representative of Landlord.
The failure or inability of Landlord to provide Tenant with the statement of
Operating Expenses within ninety (90) days after the close of any calendar year
shall not preclude Landlord from later collecting from  Tenant any underpayment
of Operating Expenses nor shall Tenant be precluded from later obtaining the
balance of any overpayment of Operating Expenses.

         (d)     Annual Rent Adjustment.

         For each calendar year during the term of this Lease, beginning with
calendar year 1994, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent an amount
equal to two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) per year over the Base Rent or the
Base Rent as previously adjusted by this Article 3(d).  For example, at the
beginning of calendar year 1994, the base rental rate of $21.25 per rentable
square foot shall be adjusted so that Tenant shall pay an additional rent an
amount equal to $0.48 per rentable square foot.  At the beginning of calendar
year 1995, the base





                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   15



rental rate shall be further adjusted so that Tenant shall pay as additional
rent an amount equal to $0.49 per rentable square foot.  For each subsequent
calendar year, a similar rent adjustment shall be made.  Such additional rent
shall be due and payable in equal monthly installments together with the Base
Rent on the first day of each month of the Term of the Lease, beginning in
calendar year 1994.

         (e)     Time of Payment.

         Each of the foregoing amounts of rent shall be paid to Landlord
without demand and without deduction, set-off or counterclaim and shall be paid
on the first (1st) day of every month during the term of this Lease unless
otherwise provided herein.  If Landlord shall at any time or times accept rent
after it shall become due and payable, such acceptance shall not excuse a delay
upon subsequent occasions, or constitute, or be construed as, a waiver of any
or all of Landlord's rights hereunder.  No payment by or on behalf of Tenant of
a lesser amount than the monthly installment or rent herein stipulated shall be
deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall
any endorsement or statement on any check or accord and satisfaction, and
Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right
to recover the balance of such rent or to pursue any other remedy provided in
this Lease.

         (f)     Place of Payment.

         Tenant will make all payments of rent to Landlord at the office of
Landlord, or to such other party or such other address as Landlord may
designate from time to time by written notice to Tenant.

         (g)     Lease for Less Than a Calendar Year.

         If the Lease Expiration Date is not December 31st, the additional rent
to be paid by Tenant under Articles 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) for the calendar year
in which the Lease Expiration Date occurs shall be determined by multiplying
the amount of Tenant's share thereof for the full calendar year by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the calendar days of the year the Lease is in
effect and the denominator of which is 365.

         (h)     Continuing Obligations.

         The termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of
Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Articles 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) to be performed
after such termination.

4.       USE OF PREMISES.

         Tenant will use and occupy the Premises solely for general office
purposes.  Without the prior written consent of Landlord, the Premises will not
be used for any other purpose.  Tenant will not use or occupy the Premises for
any unlawful purpose, and will comply with all present and future laws,
ordinances, regulations, and orders of the United States of America,
Commonwealth of Virginia, Arlington County, and any other public or
quasi-public authority having jurisdiction over the Premises.  It is expressly
understood that if any law, ordinance, regulation or order requires a special
occupancy permit for Tenant's use of the Premises, Tenant will obtain such
permit at Tenant's own expense.

5.       ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

         (a)     Consent of Landlord.

         Tenant will not sell, assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber
this Lease or sublet or rent, or permit occupancy or use of the Premises, or
any part thereof, without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, nor shall any
assignment or transfer of this Lease or the right of occupancy hereunder be
effectuated by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent
of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Any
such assignment, subletting or occupancy except to LCC Incorporated without the
written consent of Landlord shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant,
permitting Landlord to terminate this Lease.*

         (b)     Right of Landlord to Cancel Lease.

         If Tenant shall desire to assign its interest in this Lease or to
sublet the Premises or any part thereof to anyone except LCC Incorporated,**
Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written request for Landlord's consent to
such assignment or subletting, which request shall contain or be accompanies by
the following information: (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or
subtenant; (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet (the
"Sublet Premises"); (iii) the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment
or  subletting; (iv) the nature and character of the business of the proposed
assignee or subtenant and of its proposed use of the Sublet Premises; and (v)
current financial information and any other information Landlord may reasonably
and promptly request with respect to





- ------------------

* Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be required in
connection with any assignment, sublet or other transfer of this lease to LCC
Incorporated or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

** or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

                                     - 10 -

the proposed assignee or subtenant.  Landlord may then, by notice to such
effect given to Tenant's within fifteen (15) days after either the receipt of
Tenant's request for consent or the receipt of such further information as
Landlord may reasonably request pursuant to the clause (v) above, whichever is
later, terminate this Lease as to the Sublet Premises on a date to be specified
in said notice (the "Termination Date") which date shall be not earlier than
one day before the effective date of the proposed assignment or subletting nor
later than 31 days after said effective date.  Tenant shall then vacate and
surrender the Sublet Premises on or before the Termination Date and the Term of
this Lease for the Sublet Premises shall end on the Termination Date as if that
were the Lease Expiration Date.  Landlord shall be free to, and shall have no
liability to Tenant if Landlord should, lease the Sublet Premises to any other
party, including Tenant's prospective assignee or subtenant.

         (c)     Conditions of Approval to Subletting or Assignment.

         If Landlord shall not exercise its option to terminate this Lease
pursuant to Article 5(b) above, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its
consent to the proposed assignment or subletting referred to in Tenant's notice
given pursuant to Article 5(b), provided that all of the following further
conditions shall be fulfilled:

                 (1)      The Sublet Premises shall not, without Landlord's
prior consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
have been listed or otherwise publicly advertised for assignment or subletting
at a rental rate less than the prevailing rental rate for new space in the
Building.  However, Tenant shall not be prohibited from negotiating or
consummating a sublease at a lower rental rate, if and only if, Tenant shall
first have offered to sublet the Sublet Premises to Landlord for the same rents
and terms by notice given with or after Tenant's request for consent to the
subletting or assignment.  Landlord may accept such offer within fifteen (15)
days from receipt of such request for consent or ten (10) days after receipt of
the offer, whichever is later.

                 (2)      Tenant shall not then be in default hereunder beyond
the time herein provided, if any, to cure such default.

                 (3)      The proposed assignee or subtenant shall have a
financial standing, be of a character, be engaged in a business, and propose to
use the Sublet Premises in a manner in keeping with the standards of the other
tenancies in Colonial Place.

                 (4)      The character of the business to be conducted or the
proposed use of the Sublet Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant shall
not (a) be likely to increase Operating Expenses beyond that which would be
incurred for use by Tenant or for use in accordance with the standards of use
of other tenancies in the Building; (b) increase the burden on existing
cleaning services or elevators over the burden prior to such proposed
subletting or assignment; or (c) violate or be





                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>   18



likely to violate any provisions or restrictions herein relating to the use or
occupancy of the Premises.

                 (5)      In case of a subletting, it shall be expressly
subject to all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and the further
condition and restriction that the sublease shall not be assigned, encumbered
or otherwise transferred or the Sublet Premises further sublet by the sublessee
in whole or in part, or any part thereof suffered or permitted by the sublessee
to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord
in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                 (6)      No subletting shall end later than one (1) day before
the Lease Expiration Date of this Lease.

                 (7)      Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any
reasonable costs that may be incurred by Landlord in connection with said
assignment of sublease, including, without limitation, the costs of making
investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant,
and reasonable legal costs incurred in connection with the granting of any
requested consent.

                 (8)      The form of the subletting or assignment agreement
shall be approved by Landlord.

                 (9)      The form of any advertising used by Tenant in
connection with such subletting or assignment shall be subject to Landlord's
reasonable approval.

         (d)     Termination of Lease.

         Every subletting hereunder is subject to the express condition, and by
accepting a sublease hereunder each subtenant shall be conclusively deemed to
have agreed, that if this Lease should be terminated for any reason prior the
Lease Expiration Date or if Landlord should succeed to Tenant's estate in the
Premises, then, at Landlord's election, the subtenant shall either surrender
the Sublet Premises to Landlord within 60 days of Landlord's request therefor,
or attorn to and recognize Landlord as the subtenant's landlord under the
sublease and the subtenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument
Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.

         (e)     Continuing Liability of Tenant, Subtenant and Assignee.

         Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a counterpart (which may be a
reproduced copy) of each sublease or assignment made hereunder within ten days
after the date of its execution.  Tenant shall remain fully liable for the
performance of all of Tenant's obligations hereunder notwithstanding any
subletting or assignment provided for herein, and without limiting the
generality of the





                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>   19



foregoing, shall remain fully responsible and liable to Landlord for all acts
and omissions of any subtenant, assignee or anyone claiming by, through or
under any subtenant or assignee which shall be in violation of any of the
obligations of this Lease and any such violation shall be deemed to be a
violation by Tenant.  Notwithstanding any assignment and assumption by the
assignee of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, Tenant herein named, and each
immediate or remove successor in interest of Tenant herein named, shall remain
liable jointly and severally (as a primary obligor) with its assignee and all
subsequent assignees for the performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder,
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall remain fully and
directly responsible and liable to Landlord for all acts and omissions on the
part of any assignee subsequent to it in violation of any of the obligations of
this Lease.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
no assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord
unless the assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement whereby
such assignee agrees unconditionally to be personally bound by and to perform
all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder and further expressly agrees that
notwithstanding such assignment the provisions of this Article shall continue
to be binding such assignee with respect to all future assignments and
transfers.  A failure or refusal of such assignee to execute or deliver such an
agreement shall not release the assignee from its liability for the obligations
of Tenant hereunder assumed by acceptance of the assignment of this Lease.

         (f)     Additional Payment to Landlord.

         (Intentionally deleted).

         (g)     Sale of Stock or Partnership Interest.

         Any transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of Tenant's interest
in this Lease (in whole or in part) of a greater than sixty percent (60%)
interest in Tenant (whether stock, partnership interest or otherwise) shall be
deemed an assignment of this Lease within the meaning of this Article.  The
issuance of shares of stock to other than the existing shareholders is deemed
to be a transfer of that stock for the purposes of this Article.  If there has
been a previous transfer of less than a sixty (60%) interest in Tenant, then
any other transfer of an interest in Tenant which, when added to the total
percentage interest previously transferred, totals a transfer of greater than a
sixty percent (60%) interest in Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of
Tenant's interest in this Lease within the meaning of this Article.  Tenant
shall be obligated to notify Landlord when a transfer of sixty percent (60%) or
greater interest in Tenant is proposed.  The provisions of this Article 5(g)
shall not apply to the sale of shares by persons other than those deemed
"insiders" within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, where such sale is effected through any recognized exchange or through
the "over-the-counter market".

         (h)     Brokerage Fees.

         If Landlord shall decline to give its consent to any proposed
assignment or sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise any of its options under
this Article, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against
and from any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees and disbursements) resulting from any claims that may be made
against Landlord by the proposed assignee or sublessee or by any brokers or
other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with
the proposed assignment or sublease.

         (i)     Consent of Landlord to be Again Obtained.

         In the event that (i) Landlord fails to exercise any of its options
under this Article and (ii) Tenant fails to execute and deliver the assignment
or sublease to which Landlord consented within ninety (90) days after the
giving of such consent, then, Tenant shall again comply with all of the
provisions and conditions of this Article before assigning its interest in this
Lease or subletting any portion of the Premises.

         (j)     No Waiver.

         The consent by Landlord to an assignment or to a subletting shall not
relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any
further assignment or subletting.  If Tenant's interest in this Lease be
assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by
anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee,
subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent and
additional rent payable herein, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy
or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Article or of
any default hereunder or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant
as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further observance or performance by
Tenant of all covenants, conditions, terms and provisions on the part of Tenant
to be performed or observed.

         (k)     Assignment by Landlord.

         Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to assign, transfer,
mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber, in whole or in part, its rights, title
and any interest hereunder to any person, corporation, trust, partnership or
other legal entity.  Upon the assignment of this Lease to an assignee who
assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder arising after the date of
assignment, and notice of such assignment to Tenant, Landlord shall be relieved
of any further obligations to Tenant hereunder and Tenant agrees to look solely
to such assignee.

6.       MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR BY TENANT.

         (a)     Maintenance.

         Tenant will keep the Premises and fixtures and equipment therein in
clean, safe and sanitary condition, will take good care thereof, will suffer no
waste or injury thereto, and will, at the Lease Expiration Date or other
termination of the Term of this Lease, surrender the same, broom clean, in the
same order and condition in which they are on the Lease Commencement Date,
except for ordinary wear and tear and except for damage by the elements, fire
or other casualty not due to the negligence of Tenant.

         (b)     Repair.

         Tenant shall make all repairs required to any improvements added to
the Premises by Tenant or by Landlord at the request of Tenant other than those
improvements set forth in Exhibit B.  In addition, Tenant shall make all
repairs to the Premises which are required because of any negligent act or
omission of Tenant, its employees, agents, licensees, customers, clients,
family members and guests.  Any work required to be performed by Tenant subject
to this Article 6 shall be performed subject to the approvals, provisions,
conditions and limitations set forth in Article 7 below.

7.       TENANT ALTERATIONS.

         (a)     Approval of Alterations.

         Tenant will not make or permit anyone to make any alterations,
decorations, additions or improvements, structural or otherwise (hereinafter
referred to as "Alterations"), in or to the Premises or the Building, without
the prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.  As a condition precedent to such written
consent of Landlord, Tenant shall identify the contractor selected by Tenant
for Landlord's approval and deliver to Landlord such plans, specifications and
other information concerning the proposed Alterations that Landlord may
request.

         (b)     Installation of Alterations.

         It is understood and agreed by Landlord and Tenant that any
Alterations shall be the responsibility of Tenant.  All Alterations permitted
by Landlord must be performed by a contractor reasonably acceptable to Landlord
and must conform to all rules and regulations established from time to time by
the Underwriters' Association of the local area and conform to all requirements
of federal, state and local governments.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of Article 7(a), any





                                     - 15 -
<PAGE>   22



mechanic's or materialmen's lien is filed against the Premises, the Building or
the Land, for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have
been furnished to, Tenant, such lien shall be discharged by Tenant within ten
(10) days thereafter, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by the payment thereof
or by filing any bond required by law.  If Tenant shall fail to discharge any
such mechanic's or materialmen's lien, Landlord may, at its option, discharge
the same and treat the cost thereof as additional rent payable with the monthly
installment of rent next becoming due, it is hereby expressly covenanted and
agreed that such discharge by Landlord shall not be deemed to waive, or
release, the default of Tenant in not discharging the same.  Should Tenant
request any Alterations which require any addition to or change in the
plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning or mechanical
systems of the Building, Tenant agrees that any such work shall be performed by
a contractor approved by Landlord at the cost of Tenant.  It is further
understood and agreed that in the event Landlord shall give its written consent
to Tenant making any Alterations, such written consent shall not be deemed to
be an agreement or consent by Landlord to subject Landlord's interest in the
Premises, the Building or the Land to any mechanic's or materialmen's liens
which may be filed with respect to any Alterations made by or on behalf of
Tenant.

         (c)     Ownership of Alterations.

         All Alterations, other than pictures, chart boards and maps, including
wall-to-wall carpet, upon the Premises, whether installed with or without the
prior written consent of Landlord, shall immediately become the property of
Landlord and shall remain upon the Premises and be surrendered with the
Premises at the expiration of this Lease without disturbance, molestation or
injury, unless the Landlord agrees otherwise in writing at the time that
Landlord consents to the Alterations.  Should the Landlord elect that
Alterations made by the Tenant upon the Premises be removed upon termination of
this Lease or upon termination of any renewal period hereof, the Tenant hereby
agrees to cause the Alterations to be removed and the Premises restored to the
condition existing prior to the installation of the Alterations at the Tenant's
sole cost and expense and should Tenant fail to do so, then and in such event,
the Landlord may case the Alterations to be  removed and the Premises so
restored at the Tenant's expense and the Tenant hereby agrees to reimburse the
Landlord for the cost of such removal together with any and all damages which
the Landlord may suffer and sustain by reason of the failure of the Tenant to
remove the Alterations.  Landlord shall indicate in writing, at the time of its
approval of all alterations, whether such alterations must be removed at Lease
Termination.

         (d)     Indemnification.

         Tenant will defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and
against any and all expenses, liens, claims or damages to persons or property
which may or





                                     - 16 -
<PAGE>   23



might arise directly or indirectly by reason of the making of any Alterations.
If any Alteration is made without the prior written consent of Landlord,
Landlord may correct or remove the same, and Tenant shall be liable for any and
all expenses incurred by Landlord in the performance of this work.

8.       SIGNS AND ADVERTISEMENTS.

         No sign, advertisement or notice shall be inscribed, painted, affixed
or otherwise displayed on any part of the outside or the inside of the Building
except on the directories and the doors of offices, and on the wall adjacent to
Tenant's premises (in accordance with Article 26(g)) and then only in such
place, number, size, color and style as is approved in writing by Landlord and
provided by all at Tenant's cost and expense.  If any such sign, advertisement
or notice is nevertheless exhibited by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to
remove the same and Tenant shall be liable for any and all expenses incurred by
Landlord in said removal.  Landlord shall have the right to prohibit in its
reasonable judgment any advertisement of Tenant which in its opinion tends to
impair the reputation of the Building or its desirability as a high-quality
office building and, upon written notice from the Landlord, Tenant shall
immediately refrain from and discontinue any such advertisement.  If Tenant
refers to the Building by name, Tenant shall refer to the Building as One
Colonial Place and may also list Tenant's street address in designating the
location of the Premises in all newspaper or other advertising, stationery,
other printed material and all other references to the location of the
Premises.

9.       TENANT'S EQUIPMENT, FURNISHINGS AND FURNITURE.

         (a)     Equipment.

         Tenant will not install or operate in the Premises any electrically
operated equipment or other machinery, other than standard electric
typewriters, adding machines, personal computers, word processing machines,
radios, televisions, clocks and copying machines, without first obtaining the
written consent of Landlord and other equipment normally found in office space.
Landlord may condition such consent upon the payment by Tenant of additional
rent as compensation if Tenant's additional equipment requires an excessive
consumption of utilities as determined under Article 12 below and for the cost
of additional wiring as may be occasioned by the operation of said equipment or
machinery.  Tenant shall not install any other equipment of any kind or nature
whatsoever which will or may necessitate any changes, replacements or additions
to, or in the use of, the water system, heating system, plumbing system,
air-conditioning system, or electrical system of the Premises or the Building
without first obtaining the written consent of the Landlord which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Business

machines and mechanical equipment belonging to Tenant which cause noise or
vibration that may be transmitted to the structure of the Building or to any
tenant in the Building shall be installed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant's
expense, on vibration eliminators or other devices sufficient to eliminate such
noise and vibration.

         (b)     Furnishings.

         Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the maximum weight and
position of safes and other heavy equipment or fixtures, which shall, if
considered necessary by the Landlord, stand on plank strips to distribute the
weight.  Any and all damage or injury to the Premises or the Building caused by
moving the property of Tenant into, in or out of the Premises, or due to the
same being on the Premises, shall be repaired by, and at the sole cost of,
Tenant, which cost, if paid by Landlord, shall be deemed additional rent
payable within the next installment of Base Rent after presentation of a bill
for such cost from Landlord.  No furniture, equipment or other bulky matter of
any description will be received into the Building or carried in the elevators
except as approved by Landlord, and all such furniture, equipment, and other
bulky matter shall be delivered only through the designated delivery entrance
of the Building.  All moving of furniture, equipment and other material shall
be in accordance with the rules and regulations for the Building referred to in
Article 14 below.  Tenant agrees promptly to remove from the sidewalks or plaza
adjacent to the Building any of the Tenant's furniture, equipment or other
material there delivered or deposited.

         (c)     Removal of Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment.

         If Tenant is not in monetary default in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to remove, upon the
expiration of the Term of this Lease, all movable furniture, furnishings, or
equipment installed in the Premises at the expense of Tenant.  If such property
of Tenant is not removed by Tenant upon the expiration or termination of this
Lease, the same shall be deemed to be abandoned by Tenant, shall become the
property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises as a part
thereof.  Any cost to Landlord incurred in the storage or disposal of such
furniture, furnishings or equipment by Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant
upon demand.

         (d)     Personal Property and Occupancy Taxes.

         Tenant agrees to pay, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or
assessed and which shall become payable during the Term hereof upon all
Alterations by Tenant and upon Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures and
other personal property located in the Premises or which are in the nature of
occupancy taxes imposed upon Tenant.  Tenant shall comply with the provisions
of any law,





                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>   25



ordinance or rule of local taxing authorities which require Tenant to file a
report of Tenant's property located in the Premises.

10.      ENTRY FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR.

         Tenant will permit Landlord, or its agents or other representatives,
at all times with reasonable notice except in the case of emergency, to enter
the Premises, without charge to Landlord and without diminution of the rent
payable by Tenant, to examine, inspect and protect the Premises and the
Building, to exhibit the Premises and the Building to prospective lenders or
purchasers, and to make such Alterations and repairs as in the sole judgment of
Landlord may be deemed necessary, or to exhibit the same to prospective tenants
during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the Term of this Lease.
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's
business when making Alterations or repairs, but Landlord shall not be required
to perform the Alteration or repairs at a time other than during normal working
hours.  For each of the purposes set forth above, Landlord shall at all times
have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors into and upon the
Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes, or special security areas
designated by Tenant, the location of which shall have been approved by
Landlord.  Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which
Landlord may deem necessary and proper to open said doors in an emergency, in
order to obtain entry to any portion of the Premises, and any entry to the
Premises or portions thereof obtained by Landlord by any of said means, shall
not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful
entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or
constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.

11.      INSURANCE.

         (a)     Insurance Rating.

         Tenant will not conduct or permit to be conducted, any activity, or
place any equipment in or about the Premises or the Building, which will, in
any way, increase the rate of fire insurance or other insurance on the
Building.  If any increase in the rate of fire insurance or other insurance is
stated by an insurance company or by the applicable insurance rating bureau to
be due to any activity or equipment of Tenant in or about the Premises or the
Building, Landlord shall send Tenant written notice to cure such conduct.  If
Tenant fails to cure then such statement shall be conclusive evidence that the
increase in such rate is due to such activity or equipment and, as a result
thereof, Tenant shall be liable for such increase and shall reimburse Landlord
the amount of such increase upon demand and any such sum shall be considered
additional rent payable hereunder.





                                     - 19 -

         (b)     Landlord's Insurance.

         Landlord shall, at all times during the Term hereof, carry and
maintain in full force and effect fire and extended coverage insurance for the
Building and permanent improvements with the Premises.  Such insurance shall be
issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of
Virginia.  All proceeds of such fire and extended coverage insurance shall be

Additionally such policy shall contain an express waiver of any right of
subrogation by the insurance company against Tenant, its agents and employees.

         (c)     Tenant's Insurance.

         Tenant shall, at all times during the Term hereof, at its own expense,

liability insurance protecting against any liability for injury, death or
property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premises or occurring in or
upon, in or about the Land or Building as a result of Tenant's activities, or
arising from any obligation by which Tenant is obliged to indemnify Landlord as
set forth in this Lease, with each such policy to afford protection to the
limit of not less than $500,000 with respect to injury or death of any one
person, to the limit of $1,000,000 with respect to injury or death resulting
from any one accident or event and to the limit of not less than $1,000,000
with respect to damage to property; provided that the minimum limits set forth
above shall, at Landlord's option, be increased three years after the
commencement of the Term, based on then current prudent insurance industry
coverage practices;

                 (ii)     a policy of fire and extended coverage insurance,
insuring against loss to the Tenant's furniture, furnishings and equipment in
and about the Premises for not less than the full replacement value of all of

<PAGE>   27



each of the insurance policies required to be obtained by Tenant under this
Article, on or before the Lease Commencement Date, and at least 30 days before
the expiration of the policies in effect, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
certified copies of each such policy or renewal thereof, as the case may be or
a certificate from the insurance company indicating that the applicable
insurance is in effect.  Any insurance required to be carried hereunder may be
carried under a blanket policy covering the Premises and other locations of
Tenant.  Each insurance policy required to be carried hereunder by or on behalf
of Tenant shall provide that such insurance policy shall not be canceled unless
Landlord shall have received 15 days prior written notice of cancellation.  In
the event that Tenant shall, prior to the tenth day before any insurance policy
will lapse or terminate, or is required to be made effective, fail to furnish
evidence of any insurance coverage herein required to be obtained by Tenant,
then Landlord, at its sole option, shall have the right to obtain such
insurance and pay the premium therefor for a period not exceeding one year in
each instance and the premium so paid by Landlord shall be payable by Tenant in
accordance with the provisions of Article 16(c).

12.      SERVICES AND UTILITIES.

         During the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall provide the following
utilities and services:

on a 24 hour per day basis.

         (b)     Hot and cold water for lavatory purposes and drinking purposes

<PAGE>   28




         (e)     Original fluorescent tubes within the Premises necessary to
provide required lighting.  All standard replacement tubes for such lighting
and all other light bulbs and lighting fixtures for the Premises shall be
provided at Tenant's cost and expense.

         (f)     Cleaning and janitorial services as specified in Exhibit D,
attached hereto and made a part hereof.

Day, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Columbus
Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and any other national
holiday promulgated by a Presidential Executive Order or Congressional act.

         If Tenant requires air-conditioning, heating or electricity in the
Premises beyond normal business hours, Landlord will furnish the same provided
that Tenant has requested the same not less than 24 hours in advance of the
requirement.  Landlord shall charge Tenant for such additional services at a
rate of $20.00 per hour subject to a maximum of 4% annual escalation.  If
Tenant's equipment shall cause Tenant's consumption of electricity to exceed 4
watts of electricity per square foot, or if such equipment is to be
consistently operated beyond normal business hours, Landlord may install a
separate electric meter in the Premises at Tenant's cost and expense.  Tenant
shall then pay to Landlord the actual cost for such additional electricity that
Tenant consumes as recorded by such meter and an appropriate adjustment will be
made to the portion of the increases in electricity costs of the Building to be
paid by Tenant pursuant to Article 3(c) of this Lease.

         In the event any public utility supplying energy or any government
law, regulation, executive or administrative order requires that Landlord must
reduce or maintain at a certain level the consumption of electricity for the
Premises or the Building, which affects the heating, air-conditioning, lighting
or hours of operation of the Premises or Building, Landlord and Tenant shall
each adhere to and abide by said laws, regulations or executive orders without
any reduction in rent.

         Failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish the services set forth
above, including any additional services requested by Tenant, or any cessation
thereof resulting from causes beyond the control of Landlord, shall not render
Landlord liable for damages to either person or property nor be construed as an
eviction of Tenant, nor cause an abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from
fulfillment of any covenant or obligation hereunder.  Should any of the
Building equipment or machinery cease to function properly for any cause,
Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly, but Tenant
shall have no claim for rebate of any portion of rent or damages on account of
any interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.
However, if the Premises or a significant portion of the Premises are rendered
uninhabitable for a period exceeding 5 days then Tenant's rent shall be abated
pro rata beginning on the first day.

13.      INDEMNIFICATION.

         (a)     No Liability of Landlord.

         Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents,
business invitees, licensees, customers, clients, family members or guests for
any damage, compensation or claim arising from any cause whatsoever, including
but not limited to, the necessity of repairing any portion of the Premises,
accident or damage resulting from the use or operation (by Landlord, Tenant, or
any other person or persons whatsoever) of elevators, or heating, cooling,
electrical or plumbing equipment or apparatus, or the termination of this Lease
by reason of the destruction of the Premises, or from any fire, robbery, theft,
mysterious disappearance and/or any other casualty, or from any leaking in any
part or portion of the Premises or the Building, or from water, rain or snow
that may leak into, or flow from, any part of the Premises or the Building, or
from drains, pipes or plumbing work in the Building except when due to willful
act by Landlord.  Any goods, property or personal effects, stored or placed by
the Tenant in or about the Premises or Building, shall be at the risk of the
Tenant, and the Landlord shall not in any manner be held responsible therefor.
The employees of the Landlord are prohibited from receiving any packages or
other articles delivered to the Building for Tenant, and if any such employee
receives any such package or articles, such employee shall be the agent of the
Tenant for such purposes and not of the Landlord.

         (b)     Mutual Indemnification.

         Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and defend Landlord against
any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or
property whatsoever occurring in, on or about the Premises, when such injury or
damage shall be caused in whole or in part by the act, negligence, fault of, or
omission of any duty by Tenant, its employees, agents, licensees, customers,
clients, family





                                     - 23 -
<PAGE>   30



members or guests.  Tenant shall further hold Landlord harmless from and defend
Landlord against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to
any person or property occurring in, on or about the elevators, stairways,
passageways, hallways or other common areas of the Building or the plaza
surrounding the Building, when such injury or damage shall be caused in whole
or in part by the act, negligence, fault of, or omission of any duty by Tenant,
its employees, agents, licensees, customers, clients, family members or guests.
Tenant further agrees to indemnify any save harmless the Landlord against and
from any and all claims by or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation,
arising from the conduct or management of any work or activity whatsoever done
by the Tenant in, about or concerning the Premises, and will further indemnify
and save the Landlord harmless against and from any and all claims arising from
any breach or default on the part of the Tenant in the performance of any
covenant or agreement on the part of the Tenant to be performed pursuant to the
terms of this Lease or arising from any action or negligence of the Tenant, or
any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees, and from and
against all costs, counsel fees, expenses and liabilities related to any such
claim, action or proceeding brought thereon.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall hold Tenant harmless
from any liability, and shall reimburse Tenant for all costs and expenses
incurred in defending Landlord, should such liability be determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have been caused solely by Landlord's willful or
negligent act.

14.      RULES AND REGULATIONS.

         Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, licensees, customers,
clients, family members and guests shall at all times abide by and observe the
rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit E and shall further abide by
and observe such other rules or regulations as may be promulgated from time to
time by Landlord, with a copy sent to Tenant, for the operation and maintenance
of the Building; provided, that the same are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Lease.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed
to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce such rules and
regulations, or the terms, conditions or covenants contained in any other
lease, as against any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, business
invitees, licensees, customers, clients, family members or guests.  If there is
any inconsistency between this Lease and the rules and regulations as set forth
in Exhibit E, this Lease shall govern.  Landlord shall enforce the rules and
regulations equitably.

15.      DAMAGE; CONDEMNATION.

         (a)     Damage to the Premises.

         If the Premises shall be partially damaged by fire or other cause
Landlord shall diligently and as soon as practicable after such damage occurs,
taking into account the time necessary to effectuate a satisfactory settlement
with any insurance company involved, repair such damage at the expense of
Landlord; provided, however, that if in the sole opinion of the Landlord the
Premises or Building are damaged by fire or other cause to such an extent that
the damage cannot be fully repaired within ninety (90) days from the date of
such damage, Landlord or Tenant, upon written notice to the other, and without
liability to the other, may terminate this Lease, in which event the rent shall
be apportioned and paid to the date of such damage.  During the period that
Tenant is deprived of the use of the damaged portion of the Premises, Tenant
shall be required to pay rent only for that part of the Premises that Tenant is
reasonably able to occupy and the Base Rent for such space shall be that
portion of the total Base Rent which the amount of rentable square feet
remaining that can be occupied by Tenant bears the total rentable square feet
of the Premises.  All injury or damage to the Premises or the Building due to
the negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents, licensees, customers, clients,
family members or guests, shall be repaired by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and
expense.  If Tenant shall fail so to do, Landlord shall have the right to make
such repairs or replacements, and any cost or expense so incurred by Landlord
shall be paid by Tenant, in which event such cost and expense shall become
additional rent payable with the installment of rent next becoming due.  No
compensation, claim or reduction of rent will be allowed or paid by Landlord by
reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from the
necessity of repairing the Premises or any portion of the Building.  In the
event of fire or other casualty, Landlord shall not be required to repair any
injury or damage to, or make any replacements of any Alterations, furniture,
furnishings or equipment or other personal property installed in the Premises
by Tenant.

         (b)     Condemnation.

         If the whole or a substantial part (as hereinafter defined) of the
Premises shall be taken or condemned by any governmental or quasi-governmental
authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (including sale under
threat of such a taking), then the Term of this Lease shall cease and terminate
as of the date when title vests in such governmental or quasi-governmental
authority, and the rent shall be abated on the earlier of the date when such
title vests in such governmental or quasi-governmental authority, or when
Tenant can no longer use the Premises.  If less than a substantial part of the
Premises is taken or condemned by any governmental or quasi-governmental
authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (including sale under
threat of such a taking), the Base Rent shall be





                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>   32



equitably adjusted, on the basis of the number of rentable square feet before
and after such event, on the date when title vests in such governmental or
quasi-governmental authority and the Lease shall otherwise continue in full
force and effect.  Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord and hereby
agrees to make no claim against the condemning authority for any portion of the
amount that may be awarded as damage as a result of any governmental or
quasi-governmental taking or condemnation (or sale under threat of such taking
or condemnation) for the value of any expired or unexpired term of the Lease.
Tenant may, if allowed by statute, seek such awards for damages for moving
expenses, loss of profits and the value of fixtures and other equipment
installed by it which do not, under the terms of this Lease, become the
property of the Landlord at the termination hereof.  Such awards for damages
must be made by a condemnation court or other authority and must be separate
and distinct from any award to Landlord for the Land and Building and shall not
diminish any award of Landlord.  For purposes of this Article 15(b), a
substantial part of the Premises shall be considered to have been taken if more
than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises are unusable by Tenant as a direct
result of such taking.

         (c)     Temporary Taking.

         If any right of temporary possession or occupancy of all or any
portion of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by a governmental or
quasi-governmental authority, the foregoing provisions of Article 15(b) shall
be inapplicable thereto and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
without reduction, suspension or abatement of rent and Tenant shall be entitled
to make claim for and recover any award or awards, whether in the form of rent
or otherwise, recoverable in respect to such possession or occupancy, and
neither Landlord nor any party claiming by, through or under Landlord shall
have any right or claim to any such award or awards.  For the purposes of this
Article 15(c), the taking of possession or occupancy shall be regarded as
temporary if it does not extend beyond the Term of this Lease.  Any taking of
the right of possession or occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises,
which is for a period that extends beyond the Term of this Lease shall be
regarded for purposes of this Lease as a taking which is not temporary and to
which the foregoing provisions of Article 15(b) shall be applicable.

16.      DEFAULT OF TENANT; REMEDIES.

         (a)     Events of Default.

         If Tenant shall (i) fail to pay any monthly installment of rent or
shall fail to make any other payment required by the terms and provisions
hereof and such failure to pay rent or other payment shall continue for a
period of five (5) days after written notice to Tenant by Landlord (although no
legal or additional formal demand will have been made therefor) or (ii) violate
or fail to perform any of the





                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>   33



other terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein made by Tenant, or
(iii) abandon the premises, and such violation, failure to perform or
abandonment (per (ii) and (iii)) shall continue for a period of thirty (30)
days after written notice thereof to Tenant by Landlord and Tenant is not
diligently attempting to cure such non-monetary violation, failure to perform
or abandonment or (iv) make or consent to an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or a common law composition of creditors, or a receiver of Tenant's
assets is appointed, or Tenant files a voluntary petition in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding, or an involuntary petition in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding is filed against Tenant and not discharged by Tenant
within sixty (60) days, or Tenant is adjudicated a bankrupt, then, in any of
said events, this Lease shall, at the option of Landlord, cease and terminate
and the provisions of this Article 16(a) shall automatically operate as a
notice to quit, any notice to quit, or of Landlord's intention to re-enter,
being hereby expressly waived by Tenant and Landlord may proceed to recover
possession under and by virtue of the provisions of the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia or by such other proceedings, including re-entry and
possession, as may be applicable.  In the event any such failure to pay rent or
other default on the part of Tenant occurs more than three (3) times in any
twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall not be required during the remainder
of the Term of this Lease to send written notice to further defaults before
proceeding with its remedies under this Article 16.  If Landlord elects to
terminate this Lease, everything contained in this Lease on the part of
Landlord to be done and performed shall cease, without prejudice, however, to
the right of Landlord to recover from Tenant all rent and any other sums
accrued up to the time of termination or recovery of possession by Landlord,
whichever is later.  Should this Lease be terminated before the Lease
Expiration Date by reason of Tenant's default as hereinabove provided, the
Premises may be relet by Landlord and if the full rental hereinabove provided
(and any of the costs, expenses, or damages indicated below) shall not be
realized by Landlord, Tenant shall be liable for all damages sustained by
Landlord, including, without limitation, deficiency in rent, reasonable
attorneys' fees, brokerage fees, and expenses of placing the Premises in first
class rentable condition subject to ordinary wear and tear over the period of
Tenant's occupancy.  Any damage or loss of rent sustained by Landlord may be
recovered by Landlord, at Landlord's option, at the time of the reletting, or
in separate actions, from time to time, as said damage shall have been made
more easily ascertainable by successive relettings, or, at Landlord's option,
may be deferred until the Lease Expiration Date, in which event Tenant hereby
agrees that the cause of action shall not be deemed to have accrued until the
Lease Expiration Date.  The provisions contained in this Section 16(a) shall be
in addition to and shall not prevent the enforcement of any claim Landlord may
have against Tenant for anticipatory breach of the unexpired Term of this
Lease.





                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>   34




         (b)     Waiver.

         If, under the provisions hereof, Landlord shall institute proceedings
against Tenant and a compromise or settlement thereof shall be made, the same
shall not constitute a waiver of any other covenant, condition or agreement
herein contained, nor of any of Landlord's rights hereunder.  No waiver by
Landlord of any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement herein contained
shall operate as a waiver of such covenant, condition, or agreement itself, or
of any subsequent breach thereof.  No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord
of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of rent herein stipulated shall
be deemed to be other than an account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor
shall any endorsement statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for
payment of rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept
such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the
balance of such rent or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.  No
re-entry by Landlord, and no acceptance by Landlord of keys from Tenant, shall
be considered an acceptance of a surrender of the Lease or a termination of
Tenant's oblations hereunder.

         (c)     Right of Landlord to Cure Tenant's Default.

         If Tenant defaults in the making of any payment or in the doing of any
act herein required to be made or done by Tenant, then Landlord may, but shall
not be required to, make such payment or do such act, and charge Tenant the
amount of the expense thereof, if made or done by Landlord, with  interest
thereon at the price per annum which is two percent (2%) greater than the
"prime rate" as published in the Wall Street Journal, from the date paid by
Landlord to the date of payment thereof by Tenant; provided, however, that
nothing herein contained shall be construed or implemented in such a manner as
to allow Landlord to charge or receive interest in excess of the maximum legal
rate then allowed by law.  Such payment and interest shall constitute
additional rent hereunder due and payable with the next monthly installment or
rent.  The making of such payment or the taking of such action by Landlord
shall not operate to cure such default or to estop Landlord from the pursuit of
any remedy to which Landlord would otherwise be entitled.

         (d)     Late Payment.

         If Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent or other charges to be
paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease within ten (10) days after the date when
such amount becomes due and payable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at
Landlord's election, a late charge of five percent (5%) of such amount due for
each month that such amount remains unpaid; provided, however, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed or implemented in such a manner as to allow
Landlord to charge or receive any amount in excess of the maximum legal rate
than allowed by law.  Such late charge shall constitute additional rent
hereunder due and payable with





                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>   35



the next monthly installment of rent.  The late charge shall be waived one time
in any twelve month period if there is an inadvertent late payment of Rent.

         (e)     Lien on Personal Property.

         Landlord shall have a lien upon all the personal property of Tenant
moved into the Premises with exception of Tenant's files, records and computer
disks, as and for security for the rent and other obligations of Tenant herein
provided.  In order to perfect and enforce such lien, Landlord may at any time
after default in the payment of rent or default of other obligations, seize and
take possession of any and all personal property belonging to Tenant which may
be found in and upon the Premises.  If Tenant fails to redeem the personal
property so seized, by payment of whatever sum may be due Landlord under and by
virtue of the provisions of this Lease, then and in that event, Landlord shall
have the right, after twenty (20) days written notice to Tenant, to sell such
personal property at public or private sale and upon such terms and conditions
as to Landlord may appear advantageous, and after the payment of all proper
charges incident to such sale, apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of any
balance due to Landlord on account of rent or other obligations of Tenant
pursuant to this Lease.  In the event there shall then remain in the hands of
Landlord any further balance realized from the sale of said personal property
as aforesaid, the sale shall be paid over to Tenant.  The exercise of the
foregoing remedy by Landlord shall not relieve or discharge Tenant from any
deficiency owed to Landlord which Landlord has the right to enforce pursuant to
any other provision of this Lease.

17.      SUBORDINATION.

         This Lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying
leases and to all deeds of trust which may now or hereafter affect such leases
or the Land or Building and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof.  This clause shall be self-operative and
no further instrument or subordination shall be required by any trustee or
party secured by any such deed of trust.  In confirmation of such
subordination, Tenant shall execute promptly any certificate that the Landlord
may request.  Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord the
Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute any such certificate or certificates for
and on behalf of the Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party secured
by any such deed of trust shall have the right to recognize this Lease and, in
the event of any foreclosure sale under such deed of trust, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect.  Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at
such foreclosure sale, if requested to do so by such purchaser and agrees to
recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.  Tenant waives the
provisions of any statute or rule of law, now or hereinafter in effect, which
may give or purport to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise
adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the
event that such foreclosure proceeding is





                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>   36



undertaken or completed.  At the option of any landlord under any ground or
underlying lease to which the Lease is now or may hereafter become subject or
subordinate, Tenant agrees that neither the cancellation nor termination of
such ground or underlying lease shall by operation of law or otherwise, result
in cancellation or termination of this Lease or the obligations of the Tenant
hereunder, and Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to such landlord or to any
successor to Landlord's interest in such ground or underlying lease, and in
that event, this Lease shall continue as a direct lease between the Tenant
herein and such landlord or its successors; and, in any case, such landlord or
successor under such ground or underlying lease shall not be bound by any
prepayment on the part of Tenant of any rent for more than one month in
advance, so that rent shall be payable under this Lease in accordance with its
terms, from the date of the termination of the ground or underlying lease, as
if such prepayment had not been made.

18.      HOLDING OVER.

         In the event that Tenant shall not immediately surrender the Premises
on the Lease Expiration Date, Tenant shall, by virtue of the provisions hereof,
become a tenant from month to month at 150% the monthly rent including all
additional rent in effect during the last month of the term of this Lease,
which said monthly tenancy shall commence with the first day after the Lease
Expiration Date.  Tenant, as a monthly tenant, shall be subject to all of the
terms, conditions, covenants and agreements of this Lease.  Tenant shall give
the Landlord at least thirty (30) days written notice of any intention to quit
the Premises, and Tenant shall be entitled to thirty (30) days written notice
to quit the Premises, unless Tenant is in default hereunder, in which event
Tenant shall not be entitled to any notice to quit, the said notice to quit
being hereby expressly waived.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Article 18, in the event that Tenant shall hold over after the Lease
Expiration Date, and if Landlord shall desire to regain possession of the
Premises promptly at the Lease Expiration Date, then at any time prior to
Landlord's acceptance of rent from Tenant as a monthly tenant hereunder,
Landlord, at its option, may forthwith re-enter and take possession of the
Premises without process, or by any legal process in force in the Commonwealth
of Virginia.

19.      SECURITY DEPOSIT.

         Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant has deposited
with Landlord the sum of Thirteen Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Eight Dollars and
Ninety-Six Cents ($13,638.96) as a Security Deposit and Thirteen Thousand Six
Hundred Thirty-Eight Dollars and Ninety-Six Cents ($13,638.96) as Advance Rent.
Advance Rent shall be applied and credited by Landlord to the first month's
rent due under this Lease and subject to the provisions of Article 26(a)
hereunder.  The Security Deposit, but not the Advance Rent, shall accrue
interest in Tenant's favor





                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>   37



at 6% per annum.  Both the Security Deposit and Advance Rent shall be
considered as security for the payment and performance by Tenant of all of
Tenant's obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements under the Lease.
Upon the expiration of the Term hereof, Landlord shall return the remaining
portion of such security deposit plus accrued interest to Tenant, less such
portion thereof as Landlord shall have appropriated to make good any default by
Tenant with respect to any of Tenant's aforesaid obligations, covenants,
conditions or agreements.  In the event of any default by Tenant hereunder
during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, to apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit to cure such
default, in which event (Tenant shall be obligated promptly to deposit with
Landlord the amount necessary to restore the Security Deposit to the amount set
forth above.  In the event of the sale or transfer of Landlord's interest in
the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit
and Advance Rent, if any, to such purchaser or transferee, in which event
Tenant shall look only to the new landlord for the return of the Security
Deposit and Advance Rent and Landlord shall thereupon be released from all
liability to Tenant for the return of such Security Deposit and Advance Rent.
The Security Deposit and Advance Rent shall not be mortgaged, assigned,
transferred or encumbered by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord and
any such action without Landlord's consent shall be without force and effect
and shall not be binding upon Landlord.

20.      QUIET ENJOYMENT.

         Landlord covenants that it has the right to make this Lease for the
Term aforesaid, and that if Tenant shall pay the rent and perform all of the
covenants, terms, conditions and agreements of this Lease to be performed by
Tenant, Tenant shall, during the Term hereby created, freely, peaceably and
quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises without
molestation or hindrance by Landlord or any party claiming through or under
Landlord, subject to all the provisions of this Lease.

21.      RESERVATION OF RIGHTS BY LANDLORD.

         In addition to other rights of Landlord reserved elsewhere in this
Lease, Landlord hereby reserves to itself and its successors and assigns the
following rights all of which are hereby consented to by Tenant:  (i) to change
the name of the Building or to change the arrangement or location of entrances,
passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other
public parts of the Building; (ii) to erect, use and maintain pipes and
conduits in and through the Premises; (iii) to grant to anyone the exclusive
right to conduct any particular business or undertaking in the Building; and
(iv) to initiate or modify any security procedures which Landlord deems
appropriate for the protection of the tenants and the Building, including the
restriction of the right of access to the Building.  Landlord





                                     - 31 -
<PAGE>   38



may exercise any or all of the foregoing rights without being deemed to be
guilty of an eviction, actual or constructive, or a disturbance or interruption
of the business of Tenant or Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises.

22.      ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

         Tenant agrees, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than
five (5) days prior written notice by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord a statement in writing, (i) certifying that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the
modification); (ii) stating the dates to which the rent and any other charges
hereunder have been paid by Tenant; (iii) stating whether or not to the best
knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is in default in the performance of any covenant,
agreement or condition contained in this Lease, and if so, specifying each such
default of which Tenant may have knowledge; (iv) stating that Tenant has no
option to either renew the Lease, expand the Premises or purchase the Building
or Land or any portion thereof or if Tenant has any such option, disclosing the
full details thereof; (v) stating the amount of any security deposit from
Tenant retained by Landlord; (vi) stating whether any improvements to be
provided by Landlord have not been constructed and if so, the extent thereof;
(vii) stating the address to which notices to Tenant should be sent; and (viii)
containing any other information concerning Tenant's occupancy under the Lease
that Landlord may reasonably request.  Any such statement delivered pursuant
hereto may be relied upon by any owner of the Building or the Land, any
prospective purchaser of the Building or the Land, any party secured by a deed
of trust or intending to be secured by a deed of trust on the Building or the
Land or of Landlord's interest in either, or any prospective assignee of any
such party.

23.      NOTICES.

         All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed duly given if delivered in person or upon receipt by certified
or registered mail, return receipt requested, first-class, postage prepaid, (i)
if to Landlord at 2111 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 317, Arlington, Virginia  22201,
with a copy to Landlord at 11911 Freedom Drive, Suite 300, Reston, Virginia
22090 and (ii) if to Tenant, at 2111 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia
unless notice of a change of address is given pursuant to the provisions of
this Article.

24.      BROKERS.

         Landlord recognizes Coldwell Banker Commercial Real Estate Services
and The Fred Ezra Company as the sole brokers procuring this Lease and shall
pay said brokers a commission therefor pursuant to separate agreements between
said





                                     - 32 -
<PAGE>   39



brokers and Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant one to
another that, except as set forth herein, neither of them has employed any
broker, agent or finder in carrying on the negotiations relating to this Lease.
Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless, and Tenant shall indemnify
and hold Landlord harmless, from and against any claim or claims for brokerage
or other commission arising from or out of any breach of the foregoing
representation and warranty by the respective indemnitors.

25.      MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a)     No Representations by Landlord.

         Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any broker, agent or
employee of Landlord has made any representations or promises with respect to
the Premises or the Building except as herein expressly set forth, and no
rights, privileges, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant except as
herein expressly set forth.  Tenant, by taking possession of the Premises,
shall accept the same "as is," and such taking of possession shall be
conclusive evidence that the Premises and the Building are in good and
satisfactory condition at the time of such taking of possession, minor punch
list items excepted.

         (b)     No Partnership.

         Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to create
a partnership or joint venture of or between Landlord and Tenant, or to create
any other relationship between the parties hereto other than that of Landlord
and Tenant.

         (a)     Parking.

         Landlord shall make available to Tenant not less than one parking
spaces for every 560 rentable square feet.  The rentable rates for such spaces
shall be at the prevailing rates issued from time to time by Landlord or its
parking management company which as of the date of this Lease is $75.00 per

         (c)     Options to Renew.

         Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term of the Lease for one
(1) additional term of five (5) years at 95% of the prevailing market rate for
comparable space in the Courthouse area of Arlington provided:





                                     - 35 -
<PAGE>   42




                 (1)      Tenant is not in default of any provision of the
Lease at the time of the exercise of the option.

                 (2)      Written notice of the exercise of the option must be
sent to Landlord at least six (6) months prior to the Lease Expiration Date.

                 (3)      Tenant shall exercise its option only with respect
to 75%* of the Premises.

                 (4)      All of the provisions of the Lease shall be
applicable during the extension period.

         The term "Market Rate", as used herein, means the annual rental rate
that would be agreed upon by a landlord and a tenant negotiating a lease in
comparable space in the Courthouse Area or other buildings of Colonial Place
assuming the following:  (i) the landlord and tenant are typically motivated;
(ii) the landlord and tenant are well informed and well advised and each is
acting in what it considers its own best interest; and  (iii) concessions,
commissions are taken into consideration in a determination of market rent.

         If within thirty (30) days of the exercise of the option by Tenant,
Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Market Rate, the Market Rate
will be determined by the following appraisal method.  Landlord and Tenant
shall each select one M.A.I.  appraiser within forty-five (45) days after the
exercise of the option by Tenant.  The two appraisers selected shall proceed to
determine the Market Rate.  The reports of such appraisers shall be made
available to Landlord and Tenant no later than sixty (60) days after the
exercise of the option by Tenant.  Tenant shall have the right, to be exercised
by written notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of both appraisals, to
rescind its option to renew, in which event the Lease shall terminate on the
Lease Expiration Date.

         If Tenant does not elect to rescind its option within such thirty (30)
day period, the Market Rate shall be determined in the following manner.  If
the higher appraisal is no more than five percent (5%) higher than the lower
appraisal, the average of the two reports calculating the Market shall be
final, conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant.  In the event the higher
appraisal is more than five percent (5%) higher than the lower appraisal, then
each of the two appraisers shall together choose a third appraiser with similar
qualifications to calculate the Market Rate.  The report of the three
appraisers so selected which is neither the highest nor the lowest shall
constitute the Market Rate and shall be final, conclusive and binding on
Landlord and Tenant.  The annual Base Rent to be in effect for the extension
period shall be 95% of the Market Rate so determined.

                               AMENDMENT TO LEASE





         THIS LEASE AMENDMENT entered into this 10th day of June, 1994, by and
between TELCOM VENTURES, L.L.C., assignee from TELCOM SOLUTIONS, INC.
(collectively "Tenant"), and COLONIAL VILLAGE CENTER ASSOCIATES ("Landlord").

         WHEREAS, Tenant and Landlord entered into a Lease dated July 17, 1992
for the rental of 7,702 square feet of office space on the fourth (4th) floor
of One Colonial Place, having an address of 2111 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington,
Virginia ("Premises").

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend a portion of the Lease as is
more particularly set forth below.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged by the parties hereto, the Lease is amended as follows:

         1.      Article 26(c) is deleted in its entirety and in its place and
stead a new Article 26(c) is substituted as follows:

                 (c)      Option to Renew.  Tenant shall have three Options to
Extend the term of the Lease ("Option").  The first Option shall be for the
period July 15, 1997 to November 30, 2000.  The second Option shall be for the
period December 1, 2000 to November 30, 2005.  The third Option shall be from
December 1, 2005 to November 30, 2010.  The rent for each Option shall be at
ninety-seven percent





<PAGE>   58



(97%) of the prevailing Market Rate on a per square foot basis for comparable
space in the Courthouse area of Arlington provided:

                          (1)     Tenant is not in default of any provision of
the Lease at the time of the exercise of the Option.

                          (2)     Written notice of the exercise of any Option
must be sent to Landlord at least six (6) months prior to the Lease Expiration
Date.

                          (3)     Tenant must exercise any Option only with
respect to the entire Premise.

                          (4)     All of the provisions of the Lease shall be
applicable during the extension period, except annual Base Rent shall be
adjusted pursuant to this paragraph 1(c) and the Base Years for pass throughs
(Articles 3(b) through (d)) amended to the then current Base Year(s).

         The term "Market Rate", used herein, means the annual rental rate that
would be agreed upon by a landlord and a tenant negotiating a lease in
comparable space in the Courthouse Area, including and without limitation,
other buildings of Colonial Place assuming the following:  (i) the landlord and
tenant are typically motivated; and (ii) the landlord and tenant are well
informed and well advised and each is acting in what it considers its own best
interest; and (iii) concessions, commissions and all other relevant market
factors are taken into consideration in a determination of market rent.

         If within sixty (60) days of the exercise of any Option by Tenant,
Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Market Rate, the Market Rate
will be determined by the following appraisal method.  Landlord and Tenant
shall each





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   59



select one independent M.A.I. appraiser, with ten (10) years or more of
relevant experience in the Northern Virginia Market, within sixty (60) days
after the exercise of the Option by Tenant.  The two appraisers selected shall
proceed to determine the Market Rate.  The reports of such appraisers shall be
made available to Landlord and Tenant no later than sixty (60) days after the
exercise of the Option by Tenant.  Tenant shall have the right, to be exercised
by written notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of both appraisals, to
rescind its Option to Renew, in which event the Lease shall terminate on the
Lease Expiration Date.  Each party shall pay any fees or costs associated with
the appraiser it selects.

         If Tenant does not elect to rescind its Option within such sixty (60)
day period, the Market Rate shall be determined in the following manner.  If
the higher appraisal is no more than five percent (5%) higher than the lower
appraisal, the average of the two reports calculating the Market shall be
final, conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant.  In the event the higher
appraisal is more than five percent (5%) higher than the lower appraisal, then
each of the two appraisers shall together choose a third independent appraiser
with similar qualifications to calculate the Market Rate.  Costs associated
with the third appraiser shall be shared equally by both parties.  The report
of the three appraisers so selected which is neither the highest nor the lowest
shall constitute the Market Rate and shall be final, conclusive and binding on
Landlord and Tenant.  The annual Base Rent to be in effect for the extension
period shall be 97% of the Market Rate so determined.

the act, negligence, fault of or omission of any duty by Tenant and its

         3.      The first (1st) sentence of Article 15(a) is hereby amended to

Landlord shall diligently and as soon as practicable after such damage occurs,
taking into account the time necessary to effectuate a satisfactory settlement
with any insurance company involved, repair such damage at the expense of
Landlord; provided, however, that if the Premises or Building are damaged by
fire or other cause to such an extent that the damage cannot be fully repaired
within ninety (90) days from the date of such damage, Landlord or Tenant, upon
written notice to the other, and without liability to the other, may terminate
this Lease, in which event the rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date
of such damage."  The third (3rd) and fourth (4th) sentences of Article 15(a)
are hereby deleted.

         4.      Except as herein amended, all other terms and conditions of
the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

make all references to LCC International in such Section 4.1 and Section 2.1 to
apply and refer in addition to LCC, L.L.C. for the period prior to the Merger

transfer is made.

                  1.5 MULTIPLE COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in

                         Series D Convertible Debenture
                               Due March 27, 2001

                 DCR COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Maryland corporation (the
"Corporation"), is indebted and, for value received, promises to pay to the
order of LCC, L.L.C., or registered assigns, (the "Holder"), on or before March
27, 2001, the principal sum of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($3,500,000.00) with accrued unpaid interest, which shall be payable to the
Holder at 2300 Clarendon Blvd., Suite 800, Arlington, Virginia 22201, unless
this Debenture shall have been converted into shares of the Corporation's Class
B Non-Voting Common Stock, $.01 par value per share ("Class B Stock"), as
hereinafter provided.  Interest will accrue at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable interest rate as set forth in that certain Convertible Loan and
Investment Agreement entered into by and between the Corporation and LCC,
L.L.C., dated March 20, 1996 ("LCC Agreement").  Such interest shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31 of each
year (provided that the first installment of interest shall be due and payable
on March 31, 1997 covering the period from the date of this Debenture through
March 31, 1997), and at maturity. This Debenture shall bear interest (so
calculated) payable on demand on any overdue principal and, to the extent
permitted by law, on any overdue interest payable hereunder, until the same
shall be paid in full, at a variable rate per annum equal to the sum of two
percent (2%) plus the rate that would at the time be applicable to principal
under the foregoing provisions.

                 1.       Conversion.  This Debenture shall be converted
pursuant to the terms of conversion as set forth in the LCC Agreement.

default of this Debenture upon the occurrence of any of the following events
("Event of Default"):

                          2.1.    The Corporation is in breach of any of the
terms and conditions of this Debenture, including, but not limited to, the
nonpayment when due of interest or principal or the failure to convert the
Debenture as provided herein, which breach has continued for seven (7) days
after Holder has given written notice thereof to the Corporation.

                          2.2.    The Corporation (i) applies for or consents
to the appointment of, or there shall be a taking of possession by a receiver,
custodian, trustee or liquidation for the Corporation or its properties (unless
such taking is stayed or removed within ninety (90) days after such taking);
(ii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iii) files or
is served with any petition for
<PAGE>   2
relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar state or federal
statute (unless such petition is dismissed within ninety (90) days after the
filing or service thereof).

                          2.3.    The Board of Directors of the Corporation
shall have adopted, and the stockholders of the Corporation shall have
approved, a proposal to dissolve or liquidate the Corporation, to sell all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

                 3.       Rights Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default the entire unconverted and unpaid balance of the principal amount on
this Debenture and all accrued and unpaid interest shall, unless waived in
writing by Holder, be and become due and payable.  Each right, power or remedy
of the Holder hereof upon the occurrence of any Event of Default listed herein
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be
cumulative and  concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right or
remedy provided in this Debenture or now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute.

                 4.       Representations and Warranties of the Corporation.
The Corporation hereby warrants and represents that:

                          4.1.    The Corporation is duly organized and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Maryland.

                          4.2.    The Corporation has the full corporate power
