PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless the context otherwise requires, references
herein to the "Company" or "BDM" include BDM International, Inc. and its
subsidiaries. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Prospectus
assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment options are not exercised.
THE COMPANY
BDM is a multinational information technology ("IT") company that provides
Systems and Software Integration, Computer and Technical Services and Enterprise
Management and Operations to both public and private sector clients. Building on
its core competencies developed over 36 years, the Company is pursuing a
strategy of growth and diversification through its decentralized
subsidiaries--BDM Federal, BDM Technologies, BDM Europe and Vinnell. Total
revenue has grown from $297 million in 1991 to $890 million in 1995, a compound
annual growth rate of 32% (15% excluding acquisitions).
The aggregate stated award value of new contracts won by the Company in 1995
exceeded $1 billion for the third consecutive year and led to a record year-end
backlog of $1.7 billion on December 31, 1995. BDM has a diversified business
base with no single contract representing more than 10% of total revenue in
1995.
BDM operates in three interrelated markets:
. SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE INTEGRATION. The Company creates information and
other computer-based systems that are tailored to specific public and
private sector client needs. BDM assists its clients in consolidating
computer operations and migrating from older mainframe-based computer
systems to newer, more flexible, standardized open systems based on
client/server architectures and linked by local and wide-area networks.
The Company implements its solutions by utilizing commercial off-the-shelf
hardware and software, purchased from multiple vendors, integrated with
software developed by the Company. Typical systems and software projects
include development and delivery of client/server, as well as
mainframe-based management information and transaction processing systems,
large scale control systems (such as air traffic control systems), health
care and medical information systems, automated distribution systems and
manufacturing systems. A current opportunity in communications network
design and integration involves the use of Internet and "Intranet"
capabilities to help clients improve their business processes and
performance. In 1995, Systems and Software Integration revenue was
approximately $274 million (31% of total revenue) and has grown at a
compound annual growth rate of 35% since 1991 (32% excluding
acquisitions).
. COMPUTER AND TECHNICAL SERVICES. The Company provides a broad range of
scientific, engineering, technical assistance and consulting services.
Typical assignments involve requirements analysis, computer migration
analysis, system concept development, training and systems testing.
Specific examples include advanced modeling and simulation services to
help clients improve planning, testing and training; the use of image
technology to enhance security and intelligence; numerous programs in
command, control, communications, computers and intelligence to assist the
U.S. military services and other clients; and technology support services
to augment the information systems capabilities of commercial clients.
Through this work, BDM also gains insights into its clients' operations,
identifies potential cost-effective systems solutions and thereby
positions itself to capture systems and
3
<PAGE>
software integration opportunities. In 1995, Computer and Technical
Services revenue was approximately $505 million (57% of total revenue) and
has grown at a compound annual growth rate of 27% since 1991 (4% excluding
acquisitions).
. ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS. The Company manages and operates
facilities devoted to data processing, research and development, testing,
logistics and training. Examples include managing and operating commercial
in-house data processing centers; various European test facilities for
vehicles, aircraft and spacecraft; and six Job Corps Centers. In 1995,
Enterprise Management and Operations revenue was approximately $111
million (12% of total revenue) and has grown at a compound annual growth
rate of 59% since 1991 (26% excluding acquisitions).
BDM attributes its recent performance to the following strategies and
strengths:
EMPHASIS ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS MARKETS. BDM has placed an
emphasis on strengthening its ability to compete in the fast-growing systems and
software integration marketplace, focusing on large multi-year contracts ranging
upward from $50 million. The Company has pursued its information systems
strategy through such actions as the establishment of BDM Technologies, an IT
company focused on commercial and state and local government clients, and the
acquisition of European and U.S. companies that possess significant IT systems
capabilities. To enhance the Company's ability to compete in targeted vertical
information systems markets, the Company has developed a common IT strategy and
standardized software development methodologies and has significantly expanded
recruitment and training of its IT professional staff.
EXPANSION INTO TARGETED MARKETS. The Company has successfully transitioned
its expertise gained from work with the Department of Defense ("DOD") into such
vertical markets as air traffic control, workforce development and training,
education technologies, health and human services information management,
manufacturing and distribution automation and environmental/waste management for
civil government and commercial clients. BDM has penetrated the civil government
business through systems development and integration contracts, such as its
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval ("EDGAR") system for the SEC,
and has built market positions in health and welfare systems for state
governments and education systems for state and local school districts.
GLOBAL DIVERSIFICATION. In 1995, BDM generated more revenue from
international clients ($342 million) than from all sources in 1991 ($297
million). The Company believes that its ability to serve clients on a global
basis differentiates it from its competitors. The Company's overseas presence
allows it to project its core competencies into less competitive IT markets,
which the Company believes will afford significant growth and margin expansion
opportunities. BDM has expanded vigorously into European and Middle Eastern
markets, aided by two key acquisitions, and has begun marketing in the Pacific
Rim. International marketing has been strengthened by synergies between the
Company's U.S. and foreign-based subsidiaries in such areas as air traffic
control, warehouse automation, agile manufacturing and military logistics.
ABILITY TO MEET FULL-SERVICE/FULL-CYCLE REQUIREMENTS. Most of the Company's
major programs cross at least two of the three primary market areas (Systems and
Software Integration, Computer and Technical Services, Enterprise Management and
Operations) and a growing number involve all three. The Company is able to seize
specific opportunities across the full program cycle and also handle
large-scale, full-cycle projects from beginning to end. For example, a Company
initiative in the education technologies area began with consulting services,
progressed to a major system design and integration and ultimately involved
outsourcing of the school system's information services department to BDM.
4
<PAGE>
FOCUSED ACQUISITION PROGRAM. The Company is experienced in identifying and
consummating acquisitions and subsequently integrating acquired businesses into
existing operations. The Company is pursuing an acquisition program, primarily
focused on providing new and expanded market opportunities by strengthening its
core competencies and expanding its position in global information technology
markets. BDM concentrates on identifying acquisition targets, particularly those
focusing on the IT needs of commercial clients, that have strong existing
management teams in place and can be integrated into BDM's decentralized
operating structure within a common overall strategy. The Company's February
1996 acquisition of CW Systems, Inc., IG Systems, Inc. and Melco Systems, Inc.,
now operating collectively as the IT Services Group of BDM Technologies, is an
example of the execution of BDM's acquisition strategy in the commercial IT
sector.

- ------------
(1) On November 16, 1993, the Company acquired a 45% interest in
Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH ("IABG"), a company formerly owned
indirectly by the German government, and entered into an agreement which
gives the Company voting control of IABG and permits the Company to manage
IABG's operations. The Company's financial statements consolidate IABG's
financial position and results of operations and report the remaining
owners' 55% interest as a minority interest. This acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase, and the Company's consolidated results of operations
include IABG from the date of its acquisition through its subsidiary, BDM
Europe.
(2) On March 13, 1992, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of
Vinnell Corporation ("Vinnell") for approximately $29.6 million, including
transaction expenses. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and
the Company's consolidated results of operations include Vinnell from the
date of its acquisition.
(3) In October 1990, The Carlyle Group, L.P. ("Carlyle") invested $40.0 million
in the equity securities of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase, and $93.5 million of indebtedness of the Company related to
the buyout was incurred. The results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1991 reflect certain one-time acquisition-related expenses.
(4) The increase in stockholders' equity and the decrease in long-term debt
reflect the impact of net proceeds of $49.4 million from the Company's
initial public offering of 2.875 million shares of Common Stock on June 28,
1995.
(5) The decline in stockholders' equity and the increase in long-term debt
reflect the impact of the repurchase of 2.6 million shares of Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock for $36.4 million on May 27, 1994.

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, the
following risk factors should be carefully considered when evaluating an
investment in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
CONCENTRATION OF REVENUE
Approximately 50%, 49% and 69% of the Company's total revenue in 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively, was derived from contracts or subcontracts funded by the
U.S. Government, which includes contracts funded by the DOD that accounted for
approximately 37%, 32% and 47% of the Company's total revenue in such years,
respectively. The Company believes that the success and development of its
business will continue to be dependent upon its ability to participate in U.S.
Government contract programs. Accordingly, the Company's financial performance
may be directly affected by changes in U.S. Government contracting policies.
Among the factors that could materially adversely affect the Company's
government contracting business are budgetary constraints, changes in fiscal
policies or available funding, changes in government programs or requirements,
including proposals to abolish certain government agencies or departments,
curtailment of the U.S. Government's use of technology services firms, the
adoption of new laws or regulations, technological developments and general
economic conditions. These factors could cause U.S. Government agencies to
exercise their right to terminate existing contracts for convenience or not to
exercise options to renew.
Certain of the Company's contracts individually contribute a significant
percentage of the Company's revenue. In 1995, the Company's largest contract (by
revenue) generated approximately 8% of the Company's total revenue, and the ten
largest and 30 largest contracts (by revenue) generated approximately 42% and
60% of the Company's total revenue, respectively. Termination of such contracts,
or the Company's inability to renew or replace such key contracts when they
expire, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Approximately 14% of the Company's revenue in 1995 was derived from
contracts funded by each of the Saudi and the German governments. See
"--International Operations".
CONTRACTS WITH U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
U.S. Government contracts, by their terms, generally can be terminated at
any time by the U.S. Government, without cause, for the convenience of the U.S.
Government. If a U.S. Government contract is so terminated, the Company would be
entitled to receive compensation for the services provided or costs incurred
through the time of termination and a negotiated amount of profit on the
contract. Government contractors who fail to comply with applicable government
procurement-related statutes and regulations may also be subject to potential
contract termination, suspension or debarment from contracting with the
Government, or other remedies. Most U.S. Government contracts are also subject
to modification in the event of changes in funding, and the Company's
contractual costs and revenue are subject to adjustment as a result of audits by
the Defense Contract Audit Agency ("DCAA") and other U.S. Government auditors.
Further, U.S. Government contract awards may be protested by competitors.
The Company in the ordinary course of its business occasionally performs
services for U.S. Government clients in advance of receiving a funded
contractual document. The Company does so with the expectation that such
contractual authorization will be obtained. As of December 31, 1995, the Company
had recognized no material amounts of revenue for U.S. Government clients for
which funding had not been obtained; however, no assurance can be given that the
Company will not experience material losses relating to this practice in the
future.

Approximately $49.7 million in revenue (6% of total revenue) in 1995 was
derived from subcontracts with prime contractors on U.S. Government contracts.
Accordingly, the Company may be adversely affected if a prime contractor fails
to perform satisfactorily or is unable or unwilling, for financial or other
reasons, to meet its obligations to the Company.
Many of the types of provisions governing U.S. Government contracts
described above also apply to the Company's contracts with state and local
governments and their agencies. In addition, with respect to state and local
government clients, budgeting pressures and other financial constraints may
result in reductions in funding of various state and local government programs,
which may affect the ability of the Company to obtain new contracts with state
and local governments, cause state and local governments to exercise their right
to terminate existing contracts for convenience or not to exercise their options
thereunder and may result in the extension of the procurement and contract
funding process over a longer period of time.
CONTRACT PROFIT EXPOSURE
The Company's services are provided primarily through three types of
contracts: fixed-price, time-and-material and cost-reimbursable contracts.
Approximately 28% of the Company's total revenue in 1995 was attributable to
fixed-price contracts which require the Company to perform services under a
contract at a stipulated price. The Company derived approximately 33% of its
total revenue during the same period from time-and-material contracts which
reimburse the Company for the number of labor hours expended at established
hourly rates negotiated in the contract, plus the cost of materials incurred.
The balance of the Company's contracts (approximately 39%) are cost-reimbursable
contracts under which the Company is reimbursed for all actual costs incurred in
performing the contract to the extent that such costs are within the contract
ceiling and allowable under the terms of the contract, plus a fee or profit.
The Company assumes greater financial risk on fixed-price contracts than on
either time-and-material or cost-reimbursable contracts. As the Company
increases its commercial and state government business, it believes that an
increasing percentage of its contracts will be fixed-price. Failure to
anticipate technical problems, estimate costs accurately or control costs during
performance of a fixed-price contract may reduce the Company's profit or cause a
loss. Greater risks are involved under time-and-material contracts than under
cost-reimbursable contracts because the Company assumes the responsibility for
the delivery of specified skills at a fixed hourly rate. Although management
believes that adequate provision for its fixed-price and time-and-material
contracts is reflected in the Company's financial statements, no assurance can
be given that this provision is adequate or that losses on fixed-price and
time-and-material contracts will not occur in the future.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Company continues to build its presence in international markets. The
Company recognized approximately $342 million in revenue (38% of total revenue)
in 1995 from contracts funded by international clients. While management
believes that BDM's experience serving the domestic market translates into an
ability to serve international markets, no assurance can be given that the
Company's efforts will succeed.
The Company recognized approximately $223 million in revenue (25% of total
revenue) in 1995 from contracts with foreign defense agencies and approximately
$31 million in revenue (3% of total revenue) in 1995 from contracts with other
foreign government agencies. A significant amount of the foreign defense revenue
was derived from contracts funded by foreign governments under the U.S.
Government's Foreign Military Sales ("FMS") program. FMS contracts involve the
provision of
8
<PAGE>
services to certain foreign governments, procured through U.S. Government
contracting mechanisms, but funded by the foreign governments themselves. The
Company could be materially adversely affected as a result of any political
instability or financial constraints experienced, or decisions to decrease
funding, by such foreign governments. In addition, the Company's operations in
foreign jurisdictions are subject to uncertainty in the enforcement and
application of various laws by foreign governments, including, without
limitation, tax and environmental laws.
In 1993, the Company acquired a 45% interest in IABG pursuant to a plan of
privatization by the German Government. In connection with the acquisition, the
Company entered into an agreement by which the Company votes 53% of the shares
of IABG except in those instances in which the German Federal Ministry of
Defense determines that an issue before the shareholders affects German national
security interests. In addition, BDM has received an informal commitment from
the German Government to use its best efforts to continue to direct business to
IABG through 1996, although there can be no assurance that IABG will receive
such business. This commitment will terminate at the end of 1996.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
In connection with its international operations, the Company is subject to
various risks inherent in foreign activities. The Company is exposed to risks
associated with fluctuations in exchange rates, including the German Mark, the
Saudi Riyal, the Kuwaiti Dinar, the Turkish Lira and the Dutch Guilder. The
Company limits its exposure to these risks by incurring and paying for its
expenses in the same currencies as those of its revenue. Although the Company
has engaged in hedging activities in the past and may do so in the future, it is
not currently engaged in hedging activities with respect to its foreign source
operating income and cash flows.
COMPETITION
The markets for the Company's services are highly competitive. The
information services industry in which the Company operates is highly fragmented
with no single company or small group of companies in a dominant position. The
Company's competitors include large, diversified firms with substantially
greater financial resources and larger technical staffs than the Company, as
well as firms which receive preferences under set-aside programs. Some of the
Company's competitors also operate in international markets, along with other
concerns which operate exclusively or primarily outside the United States. Some
of the larger competitors offer services in a number of markets which overlap
many of the same areas in which the Company offers services, while certain
companies are focused on only one or a few of these markets. The firms which
compete with the Company are consulting firms, computer services firms,
applications software companies and accounting firms, as well as the computer
service arms of computer manufacturing companies and defense and aerospace
firms. In addition, the internal staffs of client organizations, non-profit
federal contract research centers and universities are, in effect, competitors
of the Company.
ACQUISITIONS AND STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
The Company has made several acquisitions since its formation and is likely
to make additional acquisitions in areas related to its current lines of
business. The Company has no present commitments or agreements as to any
specific acquisition transactions. However, the Company is regularly evaluating
potential acquisition candidates. No assurance can be given that the Company
will make additional acquisitions, that past or future acquisitions will prove
to be successful or that the Company will successfully manage the growth
attributable to such acquisitions. Moreover, the Company has incurred, and may
incur, substantial debt and non-cash amortization expenses in making
acquisitions.
9
<PAGE>
The Company has formed strategic alliances in the form of joint ventures to
gain access to markets in Oman, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt. As the Company
seeks to expand internationally, it may be necessary to form new strategic
alliances to gain access to particular foreign markets. No assurance can be
given, however, that the Company will be able to maintain its existing alliances
or form new desirable alliances in the future.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
One of the Company's subsidiaries, Vinnell, along with another potentially
responsible party ("PRP"), entered into a consent decree with the Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") in 1992, by which Vinnell and the other PRP are
obligated to reimburse the EPA for costs incurred in its assessment and
monitoring and to undertake work to address the environmental exposure as
defined in the consent decree relating to an asbestos mine owned by Vinnell
prior to the time Vinnell was acquired by the Company. Operations at such mine
ceased in May 1974. Although management believes that its accrual for this
contingency is sufficient to cover costs to be incurred related to the
subsidiary's performance pursuant to the consent decree, there can be no
assurance that additional costs will not be incurred. Another of the Company's
subsidiaries was previously notified by the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection that it is also one of several PRPs in an environmental
matter arising as a result of work performed on a contract with the United
States Air Force ("USAF") in 1986. The Company has been, and management believes
the Company will continue to be, reimbursed by the USAF for all costs incurred
in connection with addressing the claimed environmental hazard associated with
the former contract. See Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. In addition, the Company anticipates increasing its environmental
consulting activity, which includes work related to environmental remediation.
Such business may expose the Company to additional environmental risks in the
future.
STAFFING REQUIREMENTS
The Company's business is dependent on its ability to attract, retain and
mobilize a highly trained technical staff. An inability to maintain a sufficient
number of trained personnel or to relocate or position such personnel on certain
contracts performed at remote locations could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's contract performance or its ability to capitalize on market
opportunities.
As a corporation organized under the laws of and operating in Germany, IABG
is subject to the German Co-Determination Law. Under this law, certain German
workers have a right to representation on supervisory boards of a company and,
through Workers' Councils, have a say in issues relating to corporate
operations, particularly those having a direct impact on workers. No assurance
can be given that this law will not adversely affect the Company's ability to
continue to operate IABG.
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
The Company believes that its business is dependent on its technical and
organizational knowledge, practices and procedures. The Company claims a
proprietary interest in certain of its work products, software programs,
methodologies and know-how. Some of the proprietary information is protected by
confidentiality agreements and other means. There can be no assurance, however,
that these measures will prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of the
Company's technical knowledge, practices and procedures or that others may not
independently develop similar knowledge, practices or procedures.
The U.S. Government has certain proprietary rights to software programs and
other products that result from the Company's services under U.S. Government
contracts or subcontracts. The
10
<PAGE>
U.S. Government may disclose such information to third parties, including
competitors of the Company. In the case of subcontracts, the prime contractors
may also have certain rights to such programs and products.
CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP
Upon completion of the Offerings, The Carlyle Partners Leveraged Capital
Fund I, L.P. ("The Carlyle Fund"), BDM Acquisition Partners II, L.P. ("BDM
Partners II") and BDM Acquisition Partners I, L.P. ("BDM Partners I"), three
limited partnerships controlled by Carlyle, will have, in the aggregate,
approximately 31% of the Company's voting power (or 28% if the Underwriters'
over-allotment options are exercised in full). Consequently, since it will have
approximately 31% of the Company's voting power upon completion of the
Offerings, Carlyle will continue to exercise significant influence on the
election of the directors of the Company and on the outcome of all matters
submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders, as well as on the Company's
management, operations and policies.
Certain agreements to which the Company is a party contain provisions that
may have the effect of deterring a change in control of the Company. Options
granted under the 1990 and 1994 Stock Option Plans will immediately vest upon a
merger in which the Company is not the surviving entity or upon a sale of
substantially all the assets or more than 80% of the then outstanding capital
stock of the Company. In addition, an Investor Stock Purchase Agreement, dated
October 23, 1990, between the Company and certain stockholders, as amended (the
"Investor Agreement") restricts the transferability of the Company's securities
held by Carlyle and such stockholders. See "Certain Transactions--Investor
Agreement."
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
The market price for the Common Stock may be highly volatile. The Company
believes that factors such as announcements by it, or its competitors or
suppliers, or quarterly variances in financial results could cause the market
price of the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock
market may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations which often are
unrelated to the operating performance of specific companies. Market
fluctuations or perceptions regarding the Company's industry, as well as general
economic or political conditions, may adversely affect the market price of the
Common Stock.
11
<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
Net proceeds from the sale of the 450,000 shares of the Common Stock by the
Company estimated to be approximately $16.2 million (after deduction of
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by the
Company), will be available for general corporate purposes, including, but not
limited to, working capital and acquisitions. The Company has no present
commitments or agreements as to any specific acquisition transactions. However,
the Company is regularly evaluating potential acquisition candidates. Pending
application of the net proceeds, the Company will invest such net proceeds in
short-term marketable securities. The Company will not receive any of the
proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling
Shareholders.

there were approximately 769 stockholders of record of the Common Stock.
The Company does not have a policy of paying regular dividends and has no
present intention of paying any dividends. The payment of dividends is subject
to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will depend on
the Company's results of operations, financial position and capital
requirements; general business conditions; restrictions imposed by financing
arrangements, if any; legal restrictions on the payment of dividends; and other
factors, such as continued growth opportunities in which to invest, which the
Board of Directors deem relevant. In addition, pursuant to the Company's credit
facility, dividends can only be paid after September 1, 1996 and are not to
exceed 20% of the Company's cumulative net income subsequent to July 1, 1996.
The Company paid a dividend on December 15, 1993, of $.50 per share of Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock. The payment of future dividends by the Company
should not be assumed.

(1) On November 16, 1993, the Company acquired a 45% interest in IABG and
entered into an agreement which gives the Company voting control of IABG and
permits the Company to manage IABG's operations. The Company's financial
statements consolidate IABG's financial position and results of operations
and report the remaining owners' 55% interest as a minority interest. This
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the Company's consolidated
results of operations include IABG from the date of its acquisition through
its subsidiary, BDM Europe.
(2) On March 13, 1992, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of
Vinnell for approximately $29.6 million, including transaction expenses.
This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the Company's
consolidated results of operations include Vinnell from the date of its
acquisition.
(3) In October 1990, Carlyle invested $40.0 million in the equity securities of
the Company. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and $93.5
million of indebtedness of the Company related to the buyout was incurred.
The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1991 reflect
certain one-time acquisition-related expenses.
(4) The increase in stockholders' equity and the decrease in long-term debt
reflect the impact of net proceeds of $49.4 million from the Company's
initial public offering of 2.875 million shares of Common Stock on June 28,
1995.
(5) The decline in stockholders' equity and the increase in long-term debt
reflect the impact of the repurchase of 2.6 million shares of Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock for $36.4 million on May 27, 1994.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
In 1995, BDM achieved its fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth in
revenue, net income and earnings per share. Revenue totaled $890.0 million, a
15% increase over 1994. Net income of $18.4 million represented a 41% increase
over the prior year, and earnings per share of $1.56 represented a 30% increase.
These results reflect the continuing progress the Company has made in moving
toward its goal of increasing its systems and software integration business,
which generally provides higher profit margins. This migration has occurred in
both the commercial and the U.S. Government business sectors.
All of the Company's 1995 increases resulted from internal growth. Although
no acquisitions were made during 1995, the Company announced on February 20,
1996, the acquisition of three affiliated companies, CW Systems, Inc., IG
Systems, Inc. and Melco Systems, Inc., which specialize in providing information
technology systems and services in the oil and gas, telecommunications,
financial, insurance, health care, public utility and entertainment sectors. The
Company continues to pursue a growth and diversification strategy which places
emphasis on acquisitions, especially in the commercial information technology
("IT") area. Acquisitions of companies in the United States and abroad have been
integral to BDM's growth and diversification strategy since 1992. This includes
the acquisitions of Vinnell Corporation (1992), FACE and IABG (1993) and
Geoscience Consultants, Ltd. ("GCL") (1994).
In June 1995, the Company completed a public offering of common stock which
provided net proceeds of $49.4 million. These proceeds were used to reduce
outstanding debt, resulting in lower interest expense and an improved
debt-to-equity ratio. The strengthened balance sheet provides available
borrowing capacity to continue the pursuit of business combinations for the
Company's growth and the development of strategically important areas of the
business.

REVENUE. Revenue increased 15% in 1995 compared to the preceding year. All
subsidiaries contributed to this growth, particularly BDM Federal, which
reported significant revenue growth for the year of 16%, and BDM Technologies,
which grew 48%. Revenue for 1994 was 39% higher compared to the preceding year
due primarily to the inclusion of the results of IABG in BDM Europe for 12
months in 1994 versus six weeks in 1993.

(1) BDM Federal's revenue includes revenue from GCL from its date of acquisition

acquisition, November 16, 1993 and January 1, 1993, respectively.
The growth in 1995 for U.S. Department of Defense revenue was primarily
driven by increased systems and software integration services performed by BDM
Federal. One significant contributor to this growth was the Defense Enterprise
Integration Services program to support the Defense Information Systems Agency.
Due to the nature of the work, these services have been at higher profit margins
than other types of services provided to the U.S. Government in the past. In
addition, this type of work has been in a strategically important growth area
for the Company. BDM Federal also recognized higher defense equipment
procurement revenue compared to 1994, contributing to an increase in the revenue
for computer and technical services compared to the previous year.
At the end of 1995 and the beginning of 1996, as a result of the failure to
enact certain appropriations bills to fund the operations of several U.S.
Government departments and agencies for fiscal year 1996, the U.S. Government
furloughed a portion of its work force. This furlough did not materially impact
BDM's operations and cash flow in 1995. Because three of BDM's largest U.S.
Government clients (Department of Defense, Department of Energy and Department
of Transportation), representing greater than 80% of BDM's 1995 U.S. Government
revenue, have their funding in place for fiscal year 1996, the Company does not
expect the current budget impasse to have a material impact on BDM's operations.
Services provided to international defense clients in 1995 grew 15% while
remaining a level 25% of total revenue. This growth is reflective of the
continued expansion of Vinnell's international
16
<PAGE>
defense and technical training efforts for each of the last two years. Also a
factor in this growth was the increase in revenue reported by BDM Europe in
support of the German Ministry of Defense, although much of this increase was
due to fluctuations in exchange rates.
Civil government revenue declined in BDM Federal in the services provided to
the U.S. Department of Energy and NASA, as well as in BDM Europe as a result of
a reduction in pass-throughs of certain amounts collected by IABG on behalf of
the German government. The decline in civil government revenue was partially
offset by increases in systems integration and consulting services performed for
various state governments by BDM Technologies and growth in the Company's
education technologies business.
Commercial revenue grew 25% from 1994 to 1995 as a result of the expansion
of systems and software integration services. This growth reflects increased
activity in the automation of warehouse and distribution operations,
manufacturing modernization, business process re-engineering and related IT
services performed mainly by BDM Technologies.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales, which includes salaries, employee benefits,
subcontractor expenses, material purchases and overhead costs, increased as a
percentage of revenue in each of 1995, 1994 and 1993. The increase in 1995 is
generally reflective of increased equipment purchases on behalf of clients which
tend to generate lower profit margins. Equipment purchases as a percent of
revenue were 11.6%, 10.3% and 12.5% for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue from 1993 to 1994 is due
largely to the acquisition and consolidation of IABG which has profit margins
lower than other sectors of BDM's business.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expense ("SG&A"), which includes the Company's research and development costs
("R&D"), decreased as a percentage of revenue for each of the years 1995, 1994
and 1993. These decreases are partially attributable to a single R&D project
which was started in 1993 and was discontinued in 1994. SG&A included $3.9
million and $5.3 million for such R&D activities in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Excluding these nonrecurring costs, SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 9.1%,
10.2% and 10.5% in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In addition, the decrease
in SG&A as a percentage of revenue also reflects the growth of revenue of BDM
Technologies in relation to its infrastructure that was created in 1993 when BDM
Technologies was formed. Cost controls at several of the Company's subsidiaries
also contributed to the decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue.
DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND OTHER. There were no significant changes to
fixed assets of the Company; accordingly, depreciation expense was relatively
flat in 1995 compared to 1994. Depreciation expense increased $5.1 million in
1994 over 1993 due primarily to the inclusion of a full year of operations of
BDM Europe.
Amortization expense increased in 1995 reflecting the write-off of the
unamortized goodwill for FACE totaling $1.6 million, as it was determined to be
no longer recoverable. Several factors contributed to this change in
recoverability. The acquired company's anticipated utilization of its technology
for other industries was not realized, and synergies between BDM technologies
and acquired technologies did not result in an expansion of the customer base as
expected. In addition, an economic downturn in the Netherlands contributed to a
deterioration in the revenue base. These factors resulted in a negative cash
flow projection for this particular business. Amortization expense increased
from 1993 to 1994 as a result of goodwill associated with acquisitions.
Other expenses consist largely of certain indirect non-cash charges incurred
by the Company which are typically not allocable to government contracts,
including pension charges required by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87--Employers' Accounting for Pensions (FAS 87) in excess of
funding. In 1995, other expenses decreased as a result of a decrease in the
Company's unallocable pension charge of $2.7 million. In addition, approximately
$0.6 million was expensed in 1994 as a result of the Company's decision to delay
its initial public offering until 1995.
17
<PAGE>
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense in 1995 decreased substantially
compared to the preceding year primarily as a result of applying the $49.4
million net proceeds from the public offering to reduce outstanding borrowings.
Slightly offsetting this reduction of interest expense was a one-time charge of
$0.5 million related to the write-off of capitalized financing costs on the
credit facility which was replaced during the year. A new revolving credit
agreement, executed with more favorable terms, also contributed to the lower
interest expense in 1995 compared to 1994. Net interest expense also declined
from 1993 to 1994. While debt balances increased during 1994, lower interest
rates and the inclusion of a full year of interest income from BDM Europe more
than offset higher interest expense.
MINORITY INTEREST. The Company began deducting minority interest from
earnings with the acquisition of 45% of IABG in November of 1993. Minority
interest increased $1.0 million in 1994 reflecting a full year of IABG minority
interest and approximately $0.6 million from a new 60% owned Vinnell joint
venture that began performance on a contract in May 1994. Minority interest
continued to increase in 1995 due to improved IABG profitability, the full-year
effect of the 60% Vinnell joint venture and Vinnell's contract with the Saudi
Arabian National Guard ("SANG"), which was converted to a 51% owned joint
venture in July 1995.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The provision for income tax expense
increased as a percentage of income before income taxes to 44.9% in 1995 from
42.6% in 1994. The higher effective tax rate in 1995 reflects the write-off of
$1.6 million in goodwill from the FACE acquisition which is not deductible for
income tax purposes. In addition, an increase in the provision for income taxes
was recognized for the write-off of a deferred tax benefit relating to net
operating loss carryforwards at FACE which are no longer expected to provide a
future tax benefit. The effective tax rate also increased in 1994 to 42.6% from
40.9% in 1993 as a result of the effects of certain acquisitions which resulted
in non-deductible goodwill. Additionally, certain tax benefits derived from the
acquisition of IABG were fully realized in the 1993 income tax provision.
Historically, the Company has been able to offset the effects of income
generated in high tax rate foreign jurisdictions with income earned in low tax
rate foreign jurisdictions, so that the overall effect of foreign earnings on
the Company's tax provision has been minimal. However, to the extent that the
Company's growth in international operations occurs in high tax rate
jurisdictions, the portion of the income tax provision which is attributable to
foreign earnings is likely to increase.
EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS. In 1993, the Company recognized two extraordinary items
having the net effect of increasing net income by approximately $0.4 million, or
$.03 per share. In connection with the negotiation of the credit facility, the
Company expensed the carrying value of debt issue costs incurred with the prior
credit agreement of $2.3 million less a related income tax benefit of $1.0
million. In addition, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain related to
the elimination of a liability recognized at the time of the 1990 Acquisition,
resulting in a benefit of $3.0 million less a related income tax expense of $1.3
million.

VARIABILITY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
Fluctuations in the Company's quarterly revenue depend on a number of
factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control. These factors include,
among others, the timing of contracts, the timing of equipment shipments, delays
in client acceptance of the Company's services, the length of the revenue cycle
and client budget changes.
IMPACT OF STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS 123 (FAS 123)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued FAS 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." FAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies
to recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other
equity instruments to employees based on new fair value accounting rules.
Companies that choose not to adopt the new accounting rules will continue to
apply the existing rules, but will be required to disclose in the footnotes to
the financial statements the pro forma net income and earnings per share as if
the new rules had been adopted. As permitted by FAS 123, BDM will adopt the new
standard in 1996, choose to continue the current accounting for stock-based
compensation and disclose in the footnotes to the financial statements the pro
forma net income and earnings per share calculated using the new accounting
rules.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
In connection with its international operations, the Company is subject to
various risks inherent in foreign activities. These risks may include unstable
economic and political conditions, changes in trade policies and regulations of
countries involved, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and requirements for
letters of credit or bank guarantees. Certain of the Company's contracts are
foreign military sales, which mitigate such risks because the contracts are
governed by U.S.
19
<PAGE>
Government procurement regulations. Much of the Company's other international
operations are in Western European countries, mainly in Germany and The
Netherlands, which have experienced relatively stable political conditions and
regulatory environments. The Company is exposed to risks associated with
fluctuations in exchange rates, including the German Mark, the Saudi Riyal, the
Kuwaiti Dinar, the Turkish Lira and the Dutch Guilder. The Company limits its
exposure to these risks by incurring and paying for its expenses in the same
currencies as those of its revenue. In addition, certain contracts performed
overseas have provisions which provide for reimbursement of losses arising from
currency fluctuations. It is the Company's policy not to enter into derivative
financial instruments for speculative purposes. There were no derivative
financial instruments outstanding as of December 31, 1995.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The Company's contract mix includes cost-reimbursable contracts which
represented 39%, 43% and 68% of total contract revenue in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, under which inflationary increases are passed on to the customer.
The decline in the percentage of cost-reimbursable contracts reflects higher
levels of work at BDM Federal performed under time-and-material contracts. In
addition, the companies that comprise BDM Europe have a contract portfolio
consisting of primarily time-and-material contracts. Total 1995 revenue from
time-and-material contracts increased to 33% compared to 27% in 1994 and only 3%
in 1993. These time-and-material contracts, as well as the Company's long-term
fixed price contracts, expose BDM to the risks of inflationary pressures on its
costs. The Company believes the percentage of fixed-price contracts will
increase as it shifts to serving more commercial and state government clients.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Over the past several years BDM's operations have provided a positive cash
flow which, along with maintaining an available credit facilitiy, has provided
adequate liquidity and working capital to fully meet the Company's operational
needs and support the acquisition program. In addition, the Company received net
proceeds of $49.4 million in mid-1995 from a public offering of common stock.
These proceeds were applied to reduce outstanding borrowings under the credit
facility and to extinguish the $3.7 million of subordinated debt.
The Company generated $30.5 million, $5.9 million, $34.1 million, $26.2
million and $30.2 million of cash from operating activities for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. This has provided
funding for internal growth and contributed to the reduction of debt
outstanding. Specifically, the Company repaid $93.5 million of debt assumed as
part of the 1990 Acquisition in two years rather than the originally planned
five years. In addition, the Vinnell acquisition debt of $25.0 million, which
was incurred in 1992, was repaid in less than three years. Cash flow from credit
facilities has been utilized to fund other non-operating activities, including
capital expenditures, acquisitions, a dividend and a stock buyback.
Related to the IABG transaction, significant advance payments, customary for
that operation, continue to be received from a large percentage of IABG's
customer base, which have been partially offset by severance payments and a
rental deposit made pursuant to the privatization plan have reduced cash flow
from operating activities.
Other factors impacting cash flow from operations included increased income
tax payments in 1995 and 1994 due to the use of the remaining net operating loss
carryforwards in 1993. Cash flow from operations may fluctuate from period to
period based on the timing of payments from clients and payments to suppliers.
Cash flow provided by investing activities has been primarily related to
amounts received in accordance with the IABG acquisition agreement. In March
1995, based on 23% of the shares held in trust, IABG received 23% of a required
capital infusion of $1.9 million. In addition, BDM received
20
<PAGE>
$1.1 million for the reimbursement of 23% of the transaction costs incurred by
the Company in acquiring IABG. The terms of the original acquisition also
required the owners to provide IABG with three guaranteed equity infusions. The
final equity guarantee of approximately $8.9 million was paid on November 16,
1995, of which BDM paid its 45% share.
On February 16, 1994, the Company acquired GCL for $4.3 million. Financing
for the acquisition and a covenant not-to-compete, totaling $4.5 million, was
obtained from the working capital credit facility and is expected to be repaid
from cash generated by the acquired company's operations.
Other investing cash flow activities included fluctuations in the timing of
working capital infusions to and earnings distributions from Vinnell's
unconsolidated joint ventures, as well as planned capital expenditures. Included
in 1995 capital expenditures was approximately $4.8 million related to a new
financial and program management system (SAP) to be implemented at BDM Federal
in 1996. Expenditures for capital equipment increased in 1994 over 1993
primarily due to the full year effect of consolidating BDM Europe's activities.
Financing activities in 1995 included the replacement of the Company's
credit facility with a new revolving credit agreement and an initial public
offering of the Common Stock. The new credit agreement provides an unsecured
multicurrency revolving credit line of $150 million for a term of five years, at
an interest rate based on LIBOR plus margins. The agreement includes covenants
which limit the amount of the Company's debt compared to total capitalization
and compared to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
In addition, dividends can only be paid after September 1, 1996, and are not to
exceed 20% of the cumulative net income subsequent to July 1, 1996. As of
December 31, 1995, the Company had $113.4 million available for borrowing under
this new credit agreement. The Company had $137.9 million available for
borrowing as of February 29, 1996.
On May 27, 1994, the Company repurchased 2,250,000 shares of its outstanding
Common Stock and 350,000 shares of its outstanding Class B Common Stock, from
its institutional investors at $14.00 per share. To effect the purchase, the
Company borrowed a total of $36.4 million from its working capital credit
facility.
Other financing activities principally relate to employee benefits. The
Company has continued the employee benefit of enabling employees to purchase
shares of common stock through stock option exercise and an employee stock
purchase plan. On June 28, 1995, the Company established a new qualified
non-compensatory employee stock purchase plan (the "Plan") which has reserved
750,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. The Plan allows all
employees of the Company's domestic subsidiaries to purchase a limited amount of
common stock at a discount during the offering period of July 1, 1995 to June
30, 1996. The purchase price of the Company's common stock is the lesser of
$15.725, which is 85% of the initial offer price of $18.50 per share in the
public offering, or 85% of the market value at the end of each month. During
1995, the Company received $5.0 million from shares purchased under the Plan.
The Company paid a dividend on December 15, 1993 of $.50 per share to all
holders of record as of November 15, 1993. Pursuant to the Company's credit
facility, dividends can only be paid after September 1, 1996 and are not to
exceed 20% of the Company's cumulative net income subsequent to July 1, 1996.
The payment of future dividends by the Company should not be assumed.
During 1995, the fluctuation in the value of the German Mark relative to the
U.S. dollar resulted in a $3.0 million increase in cash as reported in U.S.
dollars in the accompanying financial statements due to the significant balance
of cash maintained by IABG.
The Company's existing sources of liquidity and cash flow should continue to
provide sufficient funds for the Company's operations, debt service
requirements, planned investments and capital expenditures for the foreseeable
future.

BUSINESS
COMPANY OPERATIONS
BDM is a multinational information technology company that operates in three
interrelated markets: Systems and Software Integration, Computer and Technical
Services, and Enterprise Management and Operations. The Company serves public
and private sector clients, including the DOD (approximately 37% of total
revenue in 1995), international defense agencies (approximately 25%), civil
government agencies (approximately 23%), and commercial clients (approximately
15%). The Company provides its services through four decentralized subsidiaries.
These subsidiaries offer their services in specific markets using their
specialized expertise and market knowledge, while drawing upon the market
access, technical breadth and management capability of the entire BDM
organization. BDM's subsidiaries are:
BDM FEDERAL: represents the evolution of a core business that dates back
36 years, serving primarily U.S. Government clients. Included in BDM Federal
totals, for reporting purposes, are the results recognized by GCL, an
environmental services company acquired in 1994.
BDM TECHNOLOGIES: began operations in January 1993 as part of BDM's
evolution to a diversified company by applying its core competencies to
serve commercial and state and local government clients. In 1996, three
affiliated information technology companies serving commercial and state
government clients were acquired and integrated into BDM Technologies.
BDM EUROPE: largely consisting of a 45% interest in IABG, acquired in
November 1993 from a company principally owned by the German Government,
serves German and European governmental and industrial clients.
VINNELL: a 64-year old company that BDM acquired in March 1992,
specializes in international on-site operations and maintenance and training
services in the Middle East. Additionally, Vinnell operates certain Job
Corps Centers located in the United States for the Department of Labor.
BDM FEDERAL
The largest of BDM's subsidiaries, BDM Federal performs Systems and Software
Integration, Computer and Technical Services, and Enterprise Management and
Operations for both defense and civil government clients. Pursuing a balanced
strategic mix of traditional and new markets, BDM Federal has successfully
transitioned and transferred its growing expertise to target markets in air
traffic control and other transportation sectors, education technologies,
environmental remediation and waste management, and energy research and
development, while continuing to serve many sectors of national defense and
security. Information systems is an area of special emphasis, with such diverse
clients as the SEC, the Defense Information Systems Agency, various state and
local school districts and foreign civil government agencies. In representative
contract and program areas, BDM Federal:
. Modernizes the way information is managed by both defense and civil
government agencies under the Defense Enterprise Integration Services
("DEIS") Program contract. The work includes developing an overall
enterprise architecture to integrate disparate information systems, known
as legacy systems, introducing modern information technologies, and re-
engineering information management processes. BDM is one of six prime
contractors on the DEIS contract, along with Computer Sciences
Corporation, Electronic Data Systems, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Unisys,
and has received the second highest dollar volume of
22
<PAGE>
delivery order awards (approximately $200 million) among the six
contractors since the program began in 1994. 1995 revenue was
approximately $72.5 million.
. Provides systems and software integration services to the SEC as the
developer of the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System
("EDGAR"). This system permits publicly held companies to file periodic
reports electronically with the SEC, thus replacing paper filings, and
provides for immediate public dissemination of financial filing and
reporting data. EDGAR is now operational, and all public companies will
make the transition to filing via EDGAR by the end of 1996. 1995 revenue
was approximately $9.5 million.
. Consolidates defense logistics computer systems for the United States Air
Force ("USAF") under the $362 million DMRD-924 Program. The Company
provides systems and software integration services, ranging from hardware
acquisition to large-scale systems integration, pursuant to a DOD
directive mandating consolidation of computer sites to enhance performance
and reduce costs. 1995 revenue was approximately $46.4 million.
. Developed and implemented for the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA")
and the DOD a Terminal Radar Approach Air Traffic Control ("TRACON")
system for the High Desert TRACON facility in Southern California. The
Company believes that this system, based on open system architecture and
the use of commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software, represents a
major technological step forward in air traffic control systems. BDM is a
key member of a team headed by Boeing, one of three teams selected to
compete for a major FAA air traffic control replacement system contract
(known as "STARS"), that is expected to be awarded in 1996. 1995
development revenue from the Company's air traffic control and air space
management projects was approximately $2.0 million.
. Provides comprehensive systems integration services to various state and
local school districts in the areas of financial and administrative
software applications, instructional applications, system architecture and
network design, teacher and administrator training and management
consulting. The Company is working to advance the productivity and
efficiency of administrative systems and improve student performance. The
Company's largest contract in this area ($27.5 million), awarded in 1995,
combines systems integration with outsourcing of the school district's
information services department. 1995 revenue in this area was
approximately $13.3 million.
. Supports the Department of Energy ("DOE") in development of plans and
technologies and the implementation of strategies to advance its waste
management, technology development and environmental restoration programs.
The Company performs information systems support, technical assessments
and other services to help the DOE meet federally-mandated responsibility

encompassing IT services, logistics and supply, training, engineering and
systems maintenance, administration and other areas. 1995 revenue was
approximately $21.6 million.
. Provides the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization with comprehensive
engineering and technical systems assistance in areas such as systems
architecture and design, system simulation and modeling, command, control,
communications and intelligence, systems testing and logistics planning.
1995 revenue was approximately $20.7 million.
. Manages and operates elements of the Joint Readiness Training Center of
the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, where approximately 50,000
soldiers a year are trained on
23
<PAGE>
integrated battlefields with near-real-time performance feedback. Systems
designed and operated by BDM collect data through lasers, electronics and
videos to provide the U.S. Army with the most comprehensive experience and
data feedback short of actual combat. 1995 revenue was approximately $14.3
million.
. Creates and implements systems and processes to improve blood collections,
processing and distribution for the American Red Cross. Tasks involve
developing standard operating procedures, installing hardware and
software, and providing training to Red Cross personnel. This is a joint
activity with BDM Technologies. Aggregate 1995 revenue was approximately
$13.0 million.
BDM TECHNOLOGIES
This subsidiary, established in 1993, has a dual strategic objective:
penetrating selected vertical markets in the commercial sector and building
business with state and local governments, primarily in information systems
integration. These include the automation of warehouse and distribution
operations, manufacturing modernization, business process re-engineering,
network design and integration and related IT services to strengthen companies
and their management. BDM Technologies provides both strategic business services
and implementation and integration services in which it leverages IT to achieve
strategic and operational benefits for its clients. In early 1996, three
affiliated IT companies (CW Systems, IG Systems and Melco Systems) were acquired
and integrated into this subsidiary. BDM Technologies:
. Designs and integrates state-wide information systems aimed at
strengthening welfare and human services management and provides tested
solutions in such areas as child welfare and child support enforcement.
Major programs are underway in Alabama, Iowa, Missouri, Montana and other
states. In Montana, the BDM-designed child support enforcement system was
the nation's first to achieve the federal certification that all such
systems are required to have. 1995 revenue in this area was approximately
$35.6 million.
. Automates warehouse distribution and control operations to improve
distribution process efficiencies for major national and international
clients including Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), Franklin Mint, Merck and
Co., Ortho-McNeil, Bell Canada, Federal Express, Dot Foods and Spalding.
Using the Company's proprietary MARC [trademark] system, BDM helps clients
achieve increased inventory accuracy, improved response time and other
benefits. 1995 revenue in this area was approximately $7.8 million.
. Performs application outsourcing, maintenance and support and develops
critical software enhancements to various information systems for Ford.
BDM Technologies has been directly involved in the development and
implementation of Computer Integrated Manufacturing applications for
Ford's Electronics Division. In addition, BDM Technologies has also
designed, developed and implemented several key client/server applications
for Ford. 1995 revenue was approximately $6.5 million.
. Delivers business process re-engineering, project management and
Internet/Intranet services to U S West to implement communications and
process improvements in this client's large project management systems. A
current focus of BDM development activity is U S West's "Global Village"
network which uses the Internet's World Wide Web for both internal and
customer support communications. 1995 revenue was approximately $3.2
million.
. Provides systems integration and manufacturing execution systems to
support clients in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
Representative clients include Advanced Micro Devices, Sony
Semiconductors, National Semiconductor, Hitachi Semiconductor and Zilog.
1995 revenue was approximately $2.5 million.
24
<PAGE>
. Provides IT systems and services, through its newly acquired companies (CW
Systems, IG Systems and Melco Systems), to Fortune 1000 companies and
other large organizations in the oil and gas, telecommunications,
financial, insurance, health care, public utility and entertainment
sectors. They have also served state government agencies in Texas,
Florida, California, Georgia and Oklahoma. These acquired companies' 1995
revenue aggregated approximately $35.2 million.
BDM EUROPE
Two 1993 acquisitions make up the principal elements of BDM Europe. The
acquisition of IABG brings important strengths to the Company in IT, technical
and environmental services and test facilities management and operation. The
Company believes IABG's prospects and opportunities in Europe are similar in
scope and potential to those BDM enjoyed in the 1980s in the United States. BDM
Europe also includes FACE, a Netherlands-based firm experienced in information
systems integration and advanced manufacturing services. BDM Europe:
. Provides information technology and systems support in software
standardization, development and integration of management information
systems for government and commercial clients and strengthening of
command, control, communications and intelligence systems for the German
Ministry of Defense. 1995 revenue was approximately $35.7 million.
. Performs environmental assessments, both to meet requirements at
contaminated sites (site inventory, investigation, assessment and
remediation engineering) and to support environmental planning and the
development of improved remediation systems and techniques. One project

CONTRACTS
TYPES OF CONTRACTS
The Company's services are provided primarily through three types of
contracts: fixed-price, time-and-material and cost-reimbursable contracts.
Fixed-price contracts require the Company to perform services under the contract
at a stipulated price. Time-and-material contracts reimburse the Company for the
number of labor hours expended at established hourly rates negotiated in the
contract and the cost of materials incurred. Cost-reimbursable contracts
reimburse the Company for all actual costs incurred in performing the contract
to the extent that such costs are within the contract ceiling and allowable
under the terms of the contract, plus a fee or profit.
The Company assumes greater financial risk on fixed-price contracts than on
either time-and-material or cost-reimbursable contracts. Commercial and state
government contracts are generally fixed-price contracts. Failure to anticipate
technical problems, estimate costs accurately or control costs during contract
performance may reduce the Company's profit or cause a loss. Greater risks are
involved under time-and-material contracts than under cost-reimbursable
contracts because the Company assumes the responsibility for the delivery of
specified skills at a fixed hourly rate. Higher profit margins are generally
negotiated with the government for fixed-price and time-and-material contracts
because the Company bears the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce
the Company's profit or cause a loss, while lower than anticipated costs may
result in increased profit.

AWARD OF CONTRACTS
The Company may obtain a government contract after the solicitation by the
relevant government agencies, in open and free competition, of sealed bids from
various suppliers or through the process of negotiation with the Government.
Under certain circumstances, most government agencies are authorized to enter
into contracts based on negotiation rather than sealed bids.
Negotiated contracts may or may not involve the solicitation of competitive
proposals. Generally, negotiated contracts are entered into without competitive
solicitation when the services or supplies desired by the government can be
obtained from only one available source. In most non-competitive procurements,
the government solicits a proposal from the contractor and then negotiates the
price and other terms in accordance with the applicable federal regulations.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACT OPERATIONS
Many of the government programs in which the Company participates as a
contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years, but they are normally
funded on an annual basis. The Company's government contracts and subcontracts
are subject to modification, curtailment and termination in the event of changes
in government funding. Accordingly, all of the Company's contracts and
subcontracts involving the U.S. Government may be terminated at any time by the
U.S. Government, without cause, for the convenience of the U.S. Government. If a
U.S. Government contract is terminated for convenience, the Company would be
entitled to receive compensation for the services provided or costs incurred at
the time of termination and a negotiated amount of the profit on the contract.
The Company's costs and revenue under government contracts are subject to
adjustment as a result of audits by the DCAA. Audits have been completed of
costs incurred on all years through 1987. Audits for 1988 through 1995 have not
been completed. However, management does not believe the results of these audits
will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
future operations.
BACKLOG
The Company's backlog at December 31, 1995 was approximately $1.7 billion
compared to approximately $1.5 billion at December 31, 1994. Approximately 42%
of the Company's backlog at December 31, 1995 is expected to be converted to
revenue within the current fiscal year.
The Company's backlog amounts are composed of funded and unfunded
components. Funded backlog consists of the dollar portion of contracts that is
currently appropriated by the government client or other clients and allocated
to the contract by the purchasing government agency or otherwise authorized for
payment by the client upon completion of a specified portion of work. The
Company's funded backlog was approximately $667 million and $535 million as of
December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively. Although unfunded backlog
can include up to the stated award value of the contract including renewals or
extensions that have been priced but still
27
<PAGE>
remain at the discretion of the client whether to fund, BDM, to be conservative,
often recognizes only a portion of stated award values on multi-year contracts
into its backlog records. Because many of BDM's contracts are multi-year
contracts, total backlog may include revenue expected to be realized several
years into the future. The unfunded backlog may not be an indicator of future
contract revenue or earnings because there is no assurance that the unfunded
portion of the Company's backlog will be funded. In addition, most of the
contracts included in backlog are subject to termination for the convenience of
the government client.

MARKETING
The Company's marketing activities are conducted by its professional
managers who have technical expertise and whose efforts are supplemented by the
Company's staff of engineers, scientists and analysts. The Company supports the
marketing efforts of its personnel through the direct participation of senior
management and supervisory employees. These marketing efforts are further
supported by a corporate proposal center, organized team reviews of proposals
and a formal corporate training program. The Company believes that this
marketing approach enables it to anticipate and serve the needs of its clients
and ensures that those who are seeking to obtain business for the Company have
the necessary technical expertise and resources both to develop proposals that
satisfy clients' requirements and to participate in or supervise the performance
of services that ultimately may be provided.
COMPETITION
The information services industry in which the Company operates is highly
fragmented with no single company or small group of companies in a dominant
position. The Company's competitors include large, diversified firms with
substantially greater financial resources and larger technical staffs than the
Company as well as firms which receive preferences under set-aside programs.
Some of the Company's competitors also operate in international markets, along
with other concerns which operate exclusively or primarily outside the United
States. Some of the larger competitors offer services in a number of markets
which overlap many of the same areas in which the Company offers services, while
certain companies are focused on only one or a few of these markets. The firms
which compete with the Company are consulting firms, computer services firms,
applications software companies and accounting firms, as well as the computer
service arms of computer manufacturing companies and defense and aerospace
firms. In addition, the internal staffs of client organizations, non-profit
federal contract research centers and universities are, in effect, competitors
of the Company. The primary factors of competition in the business in which the
Company is engaged include technical, management and marketing competence, as
well as price.
EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATION
As of March 1, 1996, the Company had approximately 7,900 full-time and
part-time employees. Joint ventures, in which the Company is a partner, employed
approximately 2,900 additional
28
<PAGE>
individuals as of this date. In addition, the Company enters into agreements
with a large number of consultants on a project-specific basis who are engaged
by the Company to perform specialized work on contracts or to provide expertise
in support of marketing and contract activities. With the exception of
approximately 125 Vinnell employees and except as discussed in the next
paragraph, no other employees of the Company are represented by a union and, to
the knowledge of the Company, no union organizing activities are in progress.
As a corporation organized under the laws of and operating in Germany, IABG
is subject to the German Co-Determination Law. Under this law, certain German
workers have a right to representation on supervisory boards of a company and,
through Workers' Councils, have a say in issues relating to corporate
operations, particularly those having a direct impact on workers. Approximately
40% of IABG's employees are covered by the tariff agreements of the German metal
workers union, IG Metall. The tariff negotiations determine the annual raises
and weekly working hours for the people covered by this tariff agreement.
Negotiations have been completed to cover the period through December 31, 1996.
FACILITIES
The Company leases all of its offices and other facilities. The Company's
corporate headquarters are located in McLean, Virginia. The Company also leases
office buildings as principal offices in Fairfax, Virginia; Albuquerque, New
Mexico; Houston, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Germantown, Maryland; Kettering, Ohio;
Huntsville, Alabama; Falls Church, Virginia; Boulder, Colorado; Eindhoven, The
Netherlands; and Ottobrunn, Germany.
In addition to these principal offices, as of March 1, 1996, the Company
maintained offices or facilities in connection with the performance of its
contracts in over 80 other locations. A portion of these premises is subleased
to others. In addition to the Company's offices and facilities, Company
personnel are frequently assigned to client locations throughout the country and
overseas.
For additional information on the Company's leases and rental expenses
thereunder, see Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a party to various legal actions, claims, government
inquiries and audits resulting from the normal course of business. The Company
believes that any resulting liability should not have a material adverse effect
on the Company.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
THE CARLYLE GROUP, L.P.
Messrs. Carlucci and Conway are Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Company,
respectively, stockholders of the Company and Managing Directors of Carlyle. Mr.
Conway owns more than 10% of the capital stock of the general partner of
Carlyle. Carlyle is the general partner of The Carlyle Fund, BDM Partners I and
BDM Partners II, stockholders of the Company.
The Company has retained Carlyle to provide certain financial and
investor-relations services, to assist management in evaluating corporate
acquisition opportunities and financial strategies and to provide similar other
services. In consideration of such services, the Company pays Carlyle an annual
fee of $500,000 plus expenses, a portion of which is offset by the amount which
ordinarily would be payable to Mr. Conway for services rendered in his capacity
as a Director of the Company. In addition, Carlyle serves as a financial advisor
to the Company in connection with any acquisition, corporate reorganization,
financing, stock offering or similar transaction by the Company, and has
received fees commensurate with its services in connection with any such
transaction. However, Carlyle has waived its rights to receive a financial
advisory fee in connection with the Offerings. The Company paid Carlyle
approximately $506,000, $505,000 and $535,000 for the provision of these
services for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In
addition, in connection with the acquisition of Vinnell in 1992, the Company
paid an advisory fee of $250,000, plus expenses.
All future transactions (other than ordinary course transactions such as
fixing salaries or awarding employee benefits) and loans between the Company and
its directors, officers and principal stockholders will be ratified by a
majority of the members of the Board of Directors not having any interest in the
transactions and will be on terms believed to be no less favorable to the
Company than those generally available from unaffiliated third parties.
INVESTOR AGREEMENT
On October 23, 1990, The Carlyle Fund, R.K. Mellon & Sons ("Mellon"),
Equitable Capital Private Income and Equity Partnership, II, L.P. and Equitable
Deal Flow Fund, L.P. (together, the "Equitable Funds") (collectively, the
"Investor Group") entered into the Investor Agreement with the Company which
contains certain provisions with respect to the transfer of shares of Common
Stock by the Investor Group. As a result of the sale of Common Stock by The
Carlyle Fund to BDM Partners II, BDM Partners I, the Board of Regents of The
University of Texas System (the "Board of Regents") and the Permanent University
Fund of The State of Texas (the "Permanent University Fund") (together, "The
University of Texas"), such parties (together with the Investor Group, the
"Principal Stockholders") became subject to the Investor Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Agreement, if an Investor Group
member, or a transferee of a member pursuant to a transaction not involving a
public offering or an offering not made pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (a "Transferee"), desires to sell any shares of Common Stock
purchased under the Investor Agreement other than (i) to another Investor Group
member, the Company or an affiliate, (ii) to a prospective purchaser in a
transaction made pursuant to an effective registration statement or (iii)
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to certain pledges,
grants of security interests or other encumbrances effected by an Investor Group
member or Transferee with respect to its shares of Common Stock (an "Exempt
Transaction"), then the Company and the other Investor Group members have the
right (a "first refusal" right) to purchase all, but not less than all, of those
shares on the same terms and conditions as those offered by the prospective
purchaser.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following is a summary of certain of the detailed provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation regarding the capital stock of the Company. Such
summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Certificate of Incorporation and to the By-laws, copies of which are filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
GENERAL
The authorized Common Stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 500,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). As of
February 23, 1996, there were 769 holders of record of Common Stock and two
holders of Class B Common Stock. Upon completion of the Offerings, there will be
13,562,285 shares of Common Stock outstanding and no shares of Class B Common
Stock outstanding. As of February 23, 1996, options were outstanding for
1,630,885 shares of Common Stock.
Preferred Stock may be issuable in one or more series from time to time at
the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is authorized
to establish the number of shares to be included in each series and fix the
respective designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications,
restrictions and limitations of each series. The issuance of Preferred Stock
could be used as an "anti-takeover" device without requiring further action on
the part of the holders of the Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock. The
Company has no current plans to issue another series of the Preferred Stock.
COMMON STOCK AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Offerings, Equitable will
convert 400,000 shares of Class B Common Stock into 400,000 shares of Common
Stock and will sell all of such Common Stock in the Offerings. After such
conversion there will be no shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share for each
share held of record in elections for directors and on all other matters
required or permitted to be approved by a vote of stockholders of the Company.
Each share of the Common Stock and each share of the Class B Common Stock are
equal in respect of rights in liquidation and rights to dividends or
distributions, except that in the case of dividends or other distributions
payable in securities of the Company, only non-voting securities will be
distributed with respect to the Class B Common Stock.
The Class B Common Stock is non-voting except with respect to matters for
which class voting is required by the DGCL. The Company is required to convert
any shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Common Stock upon the
disposition of such shares by the holder thereof as part of: (1) a sale of all
or substantially all of the Common Stock of the Company; (2) a merger or
consolidation of the Company in which the stockholders of the Company receive
cash and/or marketable securities in exchange for their stock; (3) an
underwritten public offering of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to a
registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC (other
than a registration statement filed in connection with an employee benefit
offering or a merger or acquisition, or an offering of securities in connection
with an exchange offer or solely to existing security holders of the Company or
present and former employees of the Company or consultants or independent
contractors performing substantial services for the Company); (4) a sale
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, following a public offering as
described above; or (5) any other transaction if the conversion of the Class B
Common Stock has been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the
Company.
36
<PAGE>
Stockholders of the Company do not and will not have any preferential or
preemptive rights to subscribe for, purchase or receive additional shares of any
class of capital stock of the Company, or any options or warrants for such
shares, or any rights to subscribe for or purchase such shares, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares, which may be
issued, sold or offered for sale by the Company.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company's Board of Directors has the authority, without further
stockholder approval, to provide for the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of
Preferred Stock in one or more series, to establish the number and designation
of shares to be included in each series, and to determine the dividend rights,
conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption and liquidation
or dissolution rights of such shares. Because the Board of Directors has the
power to establish the preferences and rights of each series, it may afford the
holder of any Preferred Stock preferences, powers and rights (including voting
rights) senior to the rights of the holders of common stock. No shares of
Preferred Stock are currently outstanding. Although the Company currently has no
intention to issue Preferred Stock, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock or
the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.
CERTAIN EFFECTS OF AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED STOCK
Upon completion of the Offerings, the Company's authorized but unissued
capital stock will consist of 36,437,715 shares of Common Stock, 2,000,000
shares of Class B Common Stock and 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock. All of the
foregoing authorized but unissued shares of capital stock will be available for
future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be
utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including issuance pursuant to
stock options granted to certain members of management and key employees and
other employee plans, and future public offerings to raise additional capital or
to facilitate corporate acquisitions.
The Company does not presently have any plans to issue additional shares of
Common Stock other than shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise
of existing options or options which may be granted in the future under the
Management Incentive Stock Purchase Program, the 1990 Stock Option Plan or the
1994 Stock Option Plan.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
First Chicago Trust Company of New York serves as the Transfer Agent and
Registrar for the Common Stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
BDM International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BDM
International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flow for each of the three years in the 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 consolidated financial position of
BDM International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flow for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

BDM INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
BDM International, Inc. ("BDM" or "the Company") was privately owned from
its inception in 1959 until 1980, when it became a publicly owned company. BDM
was purchased by and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Aerospace
Corporation ("Ford Aerospace") in June 1988. BDM remained a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ford Aerospace until members of senior management and an investor
group led by The Carlyle Group, L.P. ("Carlyle"), a Washington, D.C.-based
private merchant bank, acquired substantially all of the assets, liabilities and
business of BDM on October 23, 1990. On June 28, 1995, BDM completed a public
offering of common stock in which 2.875 million shares were sold at $18.50 per
share. BDM's stock has since been traded on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("Nasdaq").
BDM is a multinational information technology company that operates
primarily in three interrelated markets: systems and software integration,
computer and technical services and enterprise management and operations. The
Company provides its services through four decentralized subsidiaries. The
Company operates principally in the United States, Europe and the Middle East.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned or
controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures of the Company. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company's
earnings in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity
method.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue is derived primarily from long-term contracts of
various types. Revenue on cost reimbursable contracts is recognized to the
extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate amount of the fee. Revenue on
fixed-price contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method
based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to total costs estimated to
be incurred over the duration of the contract. Revenue on time-and-material
contracts is recognized based on actual hours delivered at the contracted hourly
rate plus the cost of any materials incurred. The fees under certain government
contracts may be increased or decreased in accordance with cost or performance
incentive provisions which measure actual performance against established
targets or other criteria. Such incentive fee awards or penalties are included
in revenue at the time the amounts can be reasonably determined. Provisions for
anticipated contract losses are recognized at the time they become known.
Progress payments received in advance from customers are applied first to
any amount of unbilled accounts receivable on the related contracts. Any excess
of the payments received in advance over the related unbilled accounts
receivable is recorded as an advance payment liability.
Foreign Currency Translation
The results of operations from foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S.
dollars using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and
liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at

the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting cumulative
translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders' equity.
Statements of Cash Flow
Cash flow from the operations of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are
calculated based on their reporting currencies. The effect of exchange rate
changes on the cash balances held in foreign currencies is reported separately
in the Statements of Cash Flow.
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with purchased
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property, equipment and furniture are recorded at cost, or assigned fair
value if acquired through an acquisition. Furniture and equipment are
depreciated over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years,
primarily using the declining balance method. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over their estimated useful lives or lease terms, whichever is
shorter, using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquiring businesses over the
fair value of identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill
is amortized on a straight-line basis over the period for which the Company
estimates it will benefit directly from the acquisition. Although the period of
benefit from goodwill can be difficult to estimate, the Company considers
goodwill to be recoverable as long as the acquisition generates positive cash
flow from operations after implementation of the Company's strategic plan or
completion of reorganization efforts, if any. Recoverability of goodwill is
evaluated quarterly based on current undiscounted cash flow projections of each
specific acquired business. To date, the Company has limited the period of
amortization of goodwill to fifteen years, even though most of the Company's
acquisitions would project positive cash flows from operations for a much longer
period. Goodwill is amortized over periods ranging from ten to fifteen years.
Intangible assets are recorded at cost, or assigned fair value if acquired
through a business acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the underlying asset or the estimated
period of benefit, currently ranging from three to five years, or in the case of
contract backlog, over the remaining terms of the acquired contracts in relation
to the recognition of related contract revenue.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in
selling, general and administrative costs. Research and development costs
amounted to $2.0 million, $7.1 million and $7.8 million for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been recorded in the financial
statements or tax returns.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the tax effects of differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis carrying
amounts of the Company's assets and liabilities. These differences are
calculated based upon the statutory tax rates in effect in the years in which
the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of subsequent changes in tax
rates on deferred tax balances is recognized in the period in which a tax rate
change is enacted.
Foreign income taxes that are reimbursable pursuant to the related contract
terms are classified as contract costs rather than as a component of the
Company's provision for income taxes.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. The
Company's common equivalent shares, consisting entirely of options to purchase
common stock, are calculated using the treasury stock method which assumes the
exercise of all outstanding stock options with the hypothetical proceeds being
used to repurchase shares for treasury.
Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The
carrying value of financial instruments approximates fair value since all such
instruments are either short-term in nature or bear interest at rates which are
indexed to current market interest rates.
The Company's cash management policy is to use available cash balances,
primarily of its domestic subsidiaries, to reduce the outstanding balance of the
revolving line of credit. To mitigate exposures to foreign currency risks
associated with using the available cash of foreign subsidiaries or joint
ventures, only the portion of available cash balances deemed not to be needed
for short-term operations of the foreign subsidiary are considered eligible for
inclusion in the centralized cash management activities of the Company. The
majority of the cash balance at December 31, 1995, belongs to IABG (the
Company's German subsidiary) (See Note 3). At December 31, 1995, approximately
$36 million was invested primarily in deposits with various German banks of high
credit ratings, with purchased maturities of one month or less. These
investments are insured up to amounts prescribed by German law. Although there
were no other investments as of December 31, 1995, significant excess cash
balances of domestic subsidiaries not used to extinguish debt are routinely
invested in high quality commercial paper for periods ranging from overnight to
one week. It is the Company's policy to hold such investments to maturity.
In connection with its international operations, the Company is exposed to
risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates, including the
German Mark, the Saudi Riyal, the Kuwaiti Dinar, the Turkish Lira and the Dutch
Guilder. The Company limits its exposure to these risks by incurring and paying
for its expenses in the same currencies as those of its revenue. In addition,
certain contracts performed overseas have provisions which provide for
reimbursement of losses arising from currency fluctuations. It is the Company's
policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative
purposes. There were no derivative financial instruments outstanding as of
December 31, 1995.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
The Company generally provides uncollateralized credit to its customers.
Advance payments are secured from a large portion of foreign government
customers pursuant to the appropriation practices of the related governments.
The Company also continually assesses the financial strength of commercial
companies for whom significant subcontracts are performed.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements and disclosures to conform them to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 contingencies as of the dates of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
results could differ from management's estimates.
3. ACQUISITIONS
Geoscience Consultants, Ltd.
On February 16, 1994, the Company acquired Geoscience Consultants, Ltd., an
environmental services consulting business, for an acquisition price of
approximately $4.3 million. The acquisition was financed with borrowings from
the Company's working capital facility. Goodwill resulting from the transaction,
accounted for as a purchase, approximated $3.2 million and is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over ten years. A three year covenant not-to-compete for
$150,000 was also issued in connection with the acquisition.
Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH
On November 16, 1993, the Company acquired management control, through a 45%
ownership interest, in Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH ("IABG"),
located in Ottobrunn, Germany. The interest was acquired primarily from IVG, a
company then owned by the German government, pursuant to a privatization plan
initiated by the German government. IABG performs diversified technical services
in the areas of defense technology, information systems, organizational
analysis, structural analysis and testing and environmental programs on behalf
of ministries of the German government as well as other governmental and private
sector clients.
On the original acquisition date, IVG retained a 15% ownership interest in
IABG and held the remaining 40% ownership interest in trust, for sale to
employees and other investors, subject to the Company's approval. In October
1994, 12% of the trust was sold to Buck Werke GmbH & Co. KG, a German services
company, and an additional 5% was acquired by IVG. The Company has completed the
privatization of the remaining 23% trust balance through a sale to IABG's
employees and other investors at the original cost of the acquisition in 1993.
The Company and IVG had originally entered into a voting rights agreement,
which gave the Company control of IVG's 15% voting authority enabling the
Company to exercise 60% in total voting authority. In connection with the sale
of an additional 5% of IABG to IVG in October 1994, the
F-10
<PAGE>
BDM INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
3. ACQUISITIONS--(CONTINUED)
original voting rights agreement was revised to provide IVG with direct control
of 12% of IABG's total voting authority while ensuring that the Company would
retain the right to vote IVG's remaining 8% ownership for a total voting
authority by the Company of 53%. IVG cannot unilaterally terminate the voting
rights agreement. In the event that BDM and IVG cannot agree on a vote, BDM will
be required to acquire the 8% portion of IABG at a price based on a previously
accepted valuation method contained in the original acquisition agreement. The
Company's majority voting authority enables it to manage the operations of IABG;
therefore, the accompanying financial statements consolidate the financial
statements of IABG and present the 55% ownership as minority interest. No owner
other than BDM will ever have voting authority exceeding their ownership
percentage.
The total consideration paid for the acquisition included the purchase price
of $1.7 million, a finders fee of $2.1 million and transaction costs of
approximately $2.1 million. The transaction, accounted for as a purchase,
generated an excess of the purchase price over the book value of net assets
acquired of approximately $10.6 million. Due to the unique nature of certain
acquired equipment, additional time subsequent to the acquisition was needed for
extensive analysis by technical experts to appropriately ascertain a fair value
of this equipment. This subsequent valuation, completed in September 1994,
resulted in the allocation of the entire excess purchase price to certain
acquired technical equipment and buildings with fair values exceeding their
respective acquisition date carrying values. Effective January 1, 1994, the
allocated excess purchase price is being depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the specific underlying assets averaging nine years, and ranging from
three to thirteen years.
In addition to the purchase price consideration, the privatization plan
required the owners to guarantee equity infusions in IABG of $22.7 million
during the first two years of ownership. Installment payments against this
requirement were made by the owners at the acquisition date and on the first
anniversary thereof totaling $6.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively,
representing 100% and 77% of the equity infusions actually required as of those
dates. The remaining 23% portion of the second infusion, $1.9 million, was made
in March 1995 when the trust ownership transfer was completed. The third
installment commitment of $8.9 million, was made from all of the owners in
November of 1995. The above dollar amounts have been calculated at the then
prevailing exchange rates. The Company's share of all of the above acquisition
costs and equity guarantees was 45%.
Subsequent Event--Acquisition
On February 20, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of three
affiliated companies-- CW Systems, Inc., IG Systems, Inc. and Melco Systems,
Inc.--for $18.5 million, which was paid out of existing cash balances. The
acquired companies specialize in providing information technology systems and
services to Fortune 1000 companies and other large organizations in the oil and
gas, telecommunications, financial, insurance, health care, public utility and
entertainment sectors. They have also served state government agencies in Texas,
Florida, California, Georgia and Oklahoma. The firms had aggregate 1995 revenue
of approximately $35.2 million.

5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE--(CONTINUED)
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, approximately $7.8 million and $12.1
million, respectively, in advance payments from customers had been applied
against the unbilled portion of applicable contract receivables.
Unbilled retention balances are billable at contract completion or upon
attainment of other specified contract milestones. Other unbilled amounts
consisted primarily of: contractually earned services not yet billable because
of stipulated installment billing provisions, approximately $19.4 million and
$8.4 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively; revenue recognized
pursuant to customer authorizations prior to the execution of contractual
documentation, approximately $1.7 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively; and a specific receivable related to a contract
performed in Saudi Arabia whereby the Company will owe severance to terminated
employees at contract completion, approximately $1.9 million and $7.8 million at
December 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively. This liability is included in accrued
severance. Management anticipates that substantially all unbilled receivables as
of December 31, 1995, exclusive of retention balances, will be billed and
collected in 1996. Based on the Company's experience with similar contracts in
recent years, retention balances of approximately $9.1 million at December 31,
1995, are not expected to be collected within the coming year. It is common
industry practice to include such amounts in working capital.

Goodwill recorded in connection with the IABG acquisition in 1993 of $10.9
million was reallocated to the excess of the fair values over the acquisition
date carrying values of certain acquired technical equipment and test facilities
as a result of a valuation of all acquired assets and liabilities, completed in
September 1994.
Unamortized goodwill for the acquisition of FACE totaling $1.6 million was
expensed during 1995, as it was determined to be no longer recoverable. Several
factors contributed to this change in recoverability. The acquired company's
anticipated utilization of its technology for other industries was not realized,
and synergies between BDM technologies and acquired technologies did not result
in an expansion of the customer base as expected. In addition, an economic
downturn in the Netherlands contributed to a deterioration in the revenue base.
These factors resulted in negative cash flow projected for this particular
business.
In addition, unamortized goodwill from a separate acquisition totaling
$440,000 was expensed during 1994 as it was determined to be no longer
recoverable. The change in recoverability was driven primarily by the loss of a
significant contract performed by the acquired company, which resulted in
negative cash flow projected for that particular business.

Restructuring/Severance Liability/Debt Forgiveness
Prior to the Company's acquisition of IABG (See Note 3), IABG found it
necessary to reduce its reliance on the German government for the majority of
its revenue. In addition to redirecting marketing efforts in non-defense areas,
IABG sought means to reduce operating costs. IABG therefore determined that it
would be necessary to reduce its workforce through involuntary terminations. As
prescribed by German law and pursuant to the German government's plan for
privatization of IABG, a severance plan was developed by IABG providing for the
estimated number of involuntary employee reductions, the conditions for
termination and the method for determining the amount of severance due to the
terminating employees. IABG's workforce reductions began in 1994 and will
continue through 1997. In connection with the approval of the plan by the German
government and prior to acquisition of IABG by the Company, an estimate for the
severance totaling $34.2 million was accrued. Benefits paid through 1995
totaling $13.7 million have been applied against the original accrual.
Management believes the remaining liability will be adequate to cover future
benefits claimed pursuant to the plan. The remaining liability as of December
31, 1995 has been classified among current and long-term liabilities according
to IABG's plan for effecting the actual employee reductions.
As an incentive to investors acquiring IABG, the German government
privatization plan agreed to fund a portion of the above severance liability in
an amount equal to the principal balance of two notes held by IABG payable to
the German government's Ministry of Defense (MOD), for a total amount of $10
million. As payments for the severance liability were made to terminated
employees, the MOD forgave an equivalent amount of the debt, all of which has
been satisfied. The balance due on these notes was included as part of the
accrued severance liability.

Revolving Line of Credit. In July 1993, the Company entered into a credit
agreement which provided for a working capital facility of up to $100 million
for an original term of three years with two options to extend the term for one
additional year. The facility was amended in May 1994, increasing the borrowing
capacity to $125 million and extending the term of the facility for one of the
option years. The aggregate amount of borrowing was limited to a percentage of
the Company's eligible receivables as defined in the agreement. The Company had
the option to borrow principal at interest rates based either on the bank's
prime rate or the LIBOR rate plus margins, with unused credit also accruing a
standard interest charge. The outstanding borrowings were collateralized by a
security interest in the Company's accounts receivable. Costs incurred to obtain
the facility were capitalized and were being amortized over the term of the
agreement.
During 1995, the Company replaced the credit agreement with a new revolving
credit agreement. The new agreement provides an unsecured multicurrency
revolving credit line of $150 million for a term of five years, at an interest
rate based on LIBOR plus margins. The agreement includes covenants which limit
the amount of the Company's debt compared to total capitalization and compared
to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition,
dividends can only be paid after September 1, 1996, and are not to exceed 20% of
the cumulative net income subsequent to July 1, 1996. Conditions also exist
which limit the investments which can be made in existing subsidiaries and
non-subsidiaries. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had $113.4 million
available for borrowing under this new credit agreement and was in compliance
with all covenants. In connection with the replacement of the previous facility,
the Company expensed $0.5 million of capitalized financing costs.
In connection with the early termination of a previous credit facility, the
Company recorded an extraordinary loss, net of the related tax benefit, of $1.3
million during the year ended December 31, 1993, in connection with the
expensing of unamortized debt issuance costs incurred in obtaining the
predecessor facility.
The Company had also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce
exposure to changes in interest rates. This agreement, which matured on October
23, 1993, required the payment of interest on a $30 million notional amount at
the spread between the prevailing LIBOR interest rate and 8.01%.
Subordinated Seller Note. In connection with the acquisition of Vinnell in
1992, the Company issued a subordinated promissory note to the former owner in
the amount of $3.7 million. The note had an interest rate of 10% per annum, and
was payable semi-annually. The principal balance and unpaid accrued interest was
due the earlier of: (1) the fourth anniversary of the acquisition date on
F-16

BDM INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
9. DEBT--(CONTINUED)
March 13, 1996, or (2) six months after the death of the former owner. However,
this note was repaid in July 1995 using a portion of the proceeds from the
public offering of stock.
FACE Acquisition Note. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company acquired FACE
Holding BV (a Netherlands Company). To finance the acquisition, the Company
executed a line of credit arrangement in April 1993 with a Netherlands bank for
up to $2.7 million. The outstanding balance incurred interest at 2% above the
prime rate of the Dutch Central Bank. In August 1994, this amount was repaid
with borrowings from the Company's credit facility.
Subordinated Conditional Note. In connection with the acquisition of the
Company in 1990, in exchange for $3 million in consideration, the Company issued
the right to additional future consideration based upon the Company's actual
earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the years 1991 through 1993. The
Company reflected the $3 million consideration as an estimate for this
liability, thereafter termed the Subordinated Conditional Note. At the
conclusion of 1993, it became evident that the EBIT level necessary to trigger
the additional purchase price consideration would not be attained for any of the
years 1991 through 1993. The Subordinated Conditional Note included a provision
that if the EBIT levels were not met, the Company would not be liable for any
conditional amount, or interest thereon, including the amount paid as
consideration. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company
recognized an extraordinary gain of $1.7 million, net of related income tax
expense, on the reversal of the amount initially assigned to the conditional
principal liability. Interest expense had not been accrued on the assigned value
of the right to the conditional principal amount.
Maturities. Maturities of debt outstanding at December 31, 1995, were as
follows: 1996--$0.5 million; 1997--$0.1 million; 2000--$25.8 million.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense incurred during 1995, 1994 and 1993
was $4.4 million, $5.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The weighted
average interest rate incurred for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, was 9.25%, 7.04% and 10.33%, respectively.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards
(FTC's) of $2.5 million expiring in various years through 1999. Utilization of
the FTC's is subject to certain limitations, including the future amount of
taxable foreign source income, the effective tax rate on such income and the
amount of future U.S. taxable income. The Company also has a net operating loss
carryforward of $1.6 million generated by IABG prior to its acquisition in 1993
by the Company to offset future taxable income in Germany. The temporary
differences between depreciation expense for financial reporting purposes and
income tax reporting purposes resulting from the fixed asset write-up for the
IABG acquisition provides assurance of future taxable income sufficient to
utilize the remaining net operating loss carryforward. Accordingly, no valuation
allowance is necessary. The term of the net operating loss carryforward is not
limited.
11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Description of Capital Stock
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 52,500,000 shares of capital
stock, consisting of 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 50,000,000 shares of
Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, all shares with $.01
par value. The Preferred Stock may be issuable in one or more series from time
to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is
authorized to fix the respective designation, relative rights, preferences,
qualifications, restrictions and limitations of each series.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote in elections of directors
and all other matters required or permitted to be submitted to a vote of the
stockholders. The holders of Class B Common Stock have no voting rights. Holders
of both Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends,
when and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. The shares of
Class B Common Stock are convertible into the same number of shares of Common
Stock upon their dispostion in connection with the occurrence of certain events
including a sale of all or substantially all of the Common Stock of the Company;
a merger or consolidation of the

11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY--(CONTINUED)
Company in which the stockholders of the Company receive cash and/or marketable
securities in exchange for their stock; and an underwritten public offering of
Common Stock of the Company.
Fair Value of Common Stock
Since the acquisition of the Company in October 1990, through June 28, 1995,
there was no public market for the Company's Common Stock. The fair value of the
Company's Common Stock was determined by the Board of Directors based primarily
on periodic valuations performed by an independent valuation company. On June
28, 1995, the Company's public offering was effective, and its Common Stock
began trading on June 29, 1995, on the Nasdaq. The fair value of the Company's
Common Stock has since been determined based on Nasdaq quotation systems.
Stockholders Agreement
At the time of the purchase of the Company in October 1990, certain members
of the Company's then senior management (the Management Group) and the outside
investors (the Investor Group) entered into a Stockholders Agreement. As
subsequently amended, the Stockholders Agreement required the Investor and
Management Groups to vote their shares to provide for a fourteen member Board of
Directors consisting of seven members designated by the Investor Group, four
members designated by the Management Group, and three members designated jointly
by both groups. The Stockholders Agreement terminated in accordance with its
terms following the 1995 offering, when at least 33% of the aggregate number of
the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock were distributed publicly.
Investor Stock Purchase Agreement
An Investor Stock Purchase Agreement, also executed at the time of the
purchase of the Company in October 1990, provides the Company and members of the
Investor Group with the right of first refusal in the event any member of the
Investor Group desires to sell the shares purchased under the agreement, subject
to certain exceptions. The agreement also provides for anti-dilution, piggy-back
and demand registration rights. With the exception of the underwriters'
discount, most of the expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of such
registration rights by certain stockholders would be borne by the Company.
Common Stock Purchase
On May 27, 1994, the Company acquired 2,250,000 shares and 350,000 shares of
its outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively, for its
then fair value of $14.00 per share from the Investor Group. Coincident with
this stock purchase, these common shares, as well as all previously acquired
treasury shares, were cancelled.

12. EQUITY PARTICIPATION PROGRAMS
Employee Stock Purchase Plans
The Company implemented an Employee Stock Purchase Plan in March 1993. The
Plan allowed participants to buy Common Stock at the fair market value through
payroll deductions. Each participating employee was able to purchase up to 26
shares of Common Stock per month at the fair market value per share. On various
occasions since inception of the Plan, the Company has acquired 282,072 shares
of its outstanding Common Stock at its then fair market value ranging from $8.00
through $17.25. During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Plan participants purchased 51,174, 127,120 and 78,229 shares for an average of
$16.17, $12.75 and $8.00 per share, respectively.
Effective July 1, 1995, the above plan was discontinued and replaced with
the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 1995 Plan). The 1995 Plan is a
qualified non-compensatory employee stock purchase plan which has reserved
750,000 shares of common stock for issuance under this plan. The 1995 Plan
allows all employees of the Company's domestic subsidiaries to purchase a
limited amount of common stock at a discount during the offering period of July
1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. The purchase price of the Company's stock is the
lesser of $15.725, which is 85% of the initial offer price of $18.50 per share
in the public offering, or 85% of the market value at the end of each month.
During 1995, participants in this plan purchased 317,699 shares at $15.725 per
share.
1990 Stock Option Plan
In 1990, the Company established a Stock Option Plan (the 1990 Plan) to
provide officers and key employees with up to 1,562,500 qualified or
non-qualified incentive stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock. The
1990 Plan provides that qualified incentive stock options (as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code) have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the date of the option grant. Non-qualified incentive stock
options have exercise prices as determined by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. The 1990 Plan provides for adjustments in the number of
shares related to stock options and their respective exercise prices in the
event of stock dividends or stock splits, and for adjustments in the event that
the Company effects a recapitalization or other change in its capital structure.
Options granted pursuant to the 1990 Plan vest over periods ranging from one to
five years. All options pursuant to this plan have been granted. As of December
31, 1995, the Company had 1,068,846 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
upon exercise of this plan's remaining outstanding options and 41,314 shares of
Common Stock reserved for future option grants.
1994 Stock Option Plan
In 1994, the Company's Board of Directors reserved 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock and established the 1994 Stock Option Plan to succeed the 1990
Plan. The continuation 1994 Plan has identical provisions as the predecessor
1990 Plan. At December 31, 1995, the Company had 208,950 shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options and 791,050 shares of
Common Stock reserved for future option grants.
Management Incentive Stock Purchase Program
In 1991, the Company established the Management Incentive Stock Purchase
Program (MIS Plan), which provides for the granting of up to 1,111,111
nonqualified options to purchase shares of Common Stock to certain senior
members of management. The option exercise price is $.01 per

share. Intended to serve as incentive compensation for management, a portion of
each option grant vested each year based on management's ability to meet defined
minimum performance criteria. The majority of remaining outstanding options
became fully vested on March 31, 1995 as the related performance criteria for
1994 was achieved. Upon option grant, the Company records deferred compensation
equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock on the date of grant and the option exercise price. The deferred
compensation is expensed over the vesting term of the underlying options. As of
December 31, 1995, the Company had 25,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance upon exercise of the outstanding options and 4,442 shares of Common
Stock reserved for future option grants.
Stock option activity pursuant to these plans has been as follows:

At December 31, 1995, 629,177 options were exercisable under the 1990 Plan,
and no options were exercisable under the 1994 Plan or the MIS Plan. On February
23, 1996, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 401,950 shares
of Common Stock under the 1990 and 1994 Plans to certain employees at an
exercise price equal to the fair value of $35.50 per share at that date.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 123 (FAS 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
FAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to recognize compensation
expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other equity instruments to
employees based on new fair value accounting rules. Companies that choose not to
adopt the new accounting rules will continue to apply the existing rules, but
will be required to disclose in the footnotes to the financial statements the
pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the new rules had been
adopted. As permitted by FAS 123, BDM will adopt the new standard in 1996 and
will choose to continue the current accounting for

stock-based compensation. Beginning in 1996, the Company will disclose in the
footnotes to the financial statements the pro forma net income and earnings per
share calculated using the new accounting rules.
Directors' Stock Purchase Plan
Members of the Company's Board of Directors are eligible to receive their
compensation in the form of Common Stock in lieu of cash. During 1995, 1994 and
1993, the Company issued 7,369, 14,296 and 23,018 shares, respectively, of
Common Stock for this purpose. During 1995 and 1994, the Company purchased 6,298
and 13,750 shares, respectively, of its outstanding Common Stock for $14.00 per
share for use by this plan. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 10,318
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the board
members' option to receive compensation in this form.
13. RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan covering substantially all full-time
employees of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. Employees may direct the
investment of their contributions among several mutual fund options. Employees
may contribute up to the maximum allowed by federal regulations, currently, 15%
of their monthly salary or a maximum of $9,240. The Company contributes an
amount equal to 25% of the first 4% of the employee's salary contributed to the
plan by the employee. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Company's contribution was approximately $907,000, $842,000 and $719,000,
respectively. At the time of the Company's change in ownership in 1990,
employees were allowed a one-time option to purchase the Company's Common Stock
with balances in their plan. Effective July 1, 1995, the BDM Stock Fund became
an active fund option in BDM's 401(k) Savings Plan. A total of 303,661 common
shares were held by the participants of the plan as of December 31, 1995.
The Company also sponsors several other defined contribution plans for
substantially all of the employees of IABG. Participation in the plans is
voluntary; however, participants are required to make contributions to the plans
equal to 50% of the amount of the Company contribution. Company contributions
are based on percentages of the employees' monthly salary up to maximum monthly
benefits. The plans are fully funded and assets of the plans are invested in
insurance company annuities. The Company incurred $3.8 million, $3.5 million and
$423,000 in plan contribution expense for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and in 1993 since the November 16, 1993 acquisition date, respectively.
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan (the Retirement Plan) and a
supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) providing noncontributory
retirement benefits for eligible employees. Benefits are determined based upon
years of service and employee compensation. The Company's funding policy is to
contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws and
regulations. Retirement Plan assets are invested principally in a group annuity
contract with an insurance company, as well as in a portfolio of diversified
equity securities and mutual funds. In addition, one of the Company's
subsidiaries, BDM Oklahoma, Inc. , has a defined benefit pension plan which
mirrors the Retirement Plan.

On January 1, 1995, the Company made a disbursement of $16.7 million to
fully settle certain benefits of the Retirement Plan with the purchase of an
insurance contract. This resulted in a net loss of $349,000 recognized in 1995.
The Company also maintains another defined benefit pension plan covering
nine past and present members of the management board of IABG. Benefits are
determined based on the members' years of service and compensation. The Company
had an accrued balance of $5.9 million and $5.7 million for this pension
obligation as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The contribution
expense amounted to $345,000 in 1995, $554,000 in 1994, and $128,000 for the

period of ownership in 1993. No additional pension disclosures required by FAS
87 have been provided since the majority of the members covered by the plan have
retired and the liability reflected in these financial statements for this plan
will not increase significantly in the future.
The Company maintains a self-insurance plan to cover the costs of certain
employee health benefits. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the estimated
balance accrued for the cost of incurred but unreported claims was approximately
$2 million. The Company's annual liability for claims expense is contractually
limited pursuant to an agreement with an insurance company. The actual claims
expense for 1995 did not exceed the contractual maximum.
14. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors are the
Chairman and a Managing Director, respectively, of Carlyle. The Company retains
Carlyle to provide certain advisory and consulting services for an annual fee of
$500,000 plus expenses. Total amounts incurred by the Company related to these
services for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were approximately
$506,000, $505,000 and $535,000, respectively.
Prior to its privatization by the German government in 1993, IVG was
majority owned by the German government (See Note 3). Contract revenue derived
by IABG from the German government and its ministries totaled $120.4 million and
$118.5 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and
$16.3 million for the period from November 16, 1993 through December 31, 1993.
The total amount receivable from the German government at December 31, 1995 and
1994 was $10.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
IABG leases most of its facilities from IVG (a 20% owner of IABG). Total
rent expense incurred with IVG for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993 was $8.1 million, $7.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. IABG earns a
market rate of interest on a related $5 million lease deposit with IVG. Interest
income earned during 1995 amounted to $254,000. Interest earned during 1994
since the installment payments of the lease deposit in 1994 totaled $20,000.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Government Audits
Payments to the Company on United States or foreign government contracts are
subject to adjustments upon audit by various agencies of the respective
governments. Audits currently in progress are in varying stages of completion;
however, management does not expect the results of these audits, or audits
related to any operations prior to December 31, 1995, subsequently initiated, to
have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations, or liquidity.
Litigation and Claims
The Company is a party to various legal actions, claims, government
inquiries and audits resulting from the normal course of business. The Company
believes that any resulting liability should not have a material effect on the
financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.
Environmental Matters
One of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries was previously notified by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that is one of several
potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for remediation in connection with
asbestos present at two sites. The subsidiary, along with
F-27
<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES--(CONTINUED)
another PRP, entered into a consent decree with the EPA in 1992, by which the
subsidiary and the other PRP are obligated to reimburse the EPA for costs
incurred in its assessment and monitoring of approximately $1.6 million and to
undertake work to address the environmental exposure as defined in the consent
decree. The Company originally accrued $4.4 million which management believed to
be the best estimate of the liability for this claim. Amounts paid and charged
against this provision through 1995 totaled approximately $3 million. Management
believes that the remaining accrual for this contingency of $1.4 million is
sufficient to cover costs to be incurred related to the subsidiary's performance
pursuant to the consent decree.
Another of the Company's subsidiaries was previously notified by the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection that it is also one of
several PRPs in an environmental matter arising as a result of work performed on
a contract with the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. Air Force reimbursed the company
for all costs incurred to date in connection with this matter. No costs were
incurred by the Company in 1995 or 1994 relative to this contingency. No accrual
has been recorded as of December 31, 1995 as the risk of loss to the Company is
considered to be remote, and the remaining potential amounts involved are
considered to be immaterial.
Lease Obligations
The Company leases office space and equipment under various operating lease
agreements. Leases for principal office space typically have terms of five to
twenty years and carry optional renewal periods of five to twenty years. Most
leases include provisions for periodic rent escalations based on changes in
various economic indices. Amounts representing aggregate rent expense on all
operating leases, excluding equipment rented for use on specific contracts and
reimbursed pursuant to the terms of those contracts, totalled $31.7 million,
$35.4 million and $23.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
Future minimum payments on non-cancellable operating leases were as follows
on December 31, 1995 (dollars in thousands):

The Company's share of the future minimum lease commitments of IABG is 45%.
The remaining 55% commitment is the responsibility of the subsidiary's other
owners.
IABG is required to provide cash collateral of $6.4 million to the lessor
for its facilities which are leased through the year 2004. Approximately $4.8
million of this commitment was paid in 1994 and the remaining $1.6 million was
paid on November 16, 1995. The amount of the collateral balance will be reduced
by the landlord by $2.4 million prior to the end of the lease term in

$600,000 increments paid every two years beginning on November 16, 1997. Cash on
deposit is interest-bearing and interest income will accrue at current market
rates payable quarterly.
After the termination of certain of the leases for operating facilities of
IABG, the Company is liable for costs to be incurred, cumulatively up to $7
million adjusted for inflationary changes in a specified economic index, for any
removal or repair of buildings and facilities deemed necessary by the lessor.
For any year that the related lease is extended beyond the year 2013, the
commitment is reduced by 1/10th per year to a minimum commitment of $1 million.
The Company's share of the reclamation costs would be 45%. No amounts have been
accrued for this contingency.
Sublease Commitments
Sublease rental income earned was $2.5 million, $4.4 million and $2.6
million during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

UNDERWRITING
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the
Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to sell to each of the U.S.
Underwriters named below, and each of such U.S. Underwriters, for whom Goldman,
Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers Inc. and Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., are acting as
representatives, has severally agreed to purchase from the Company and the
Selling Stockholders, the respective number of shares of Common Stock set forth
opposite its name below:

Under the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the U.S.
Underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the shares offered hereby,
if any are taken.
The U.S Underwriters propose to offer the shares of Common Stock in part
directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page
of this Prospectus and in part to certain securities dealers at such price less
a concession of $ per share. The U.S. Underwriters may allow, and such dealers
may reallow, a concession not in excess of $ per share to certain brokers and
dealers. After the shares of Common Stock are released for sale to the public,
the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by
the representatives.
The Company and the Selling Stockholders have entered into an underwriting
agreement (the "International Underwriting Agreement") with the underwriters of
the International Offering (the "International Underwriters") providing for the
concurrent offer and sale of 560,000 shares of Common Stock in an international
offering outside of the United States. The offering price and aggregate
underwriting discounts and commissions per share for the two offerings are
identical. The closing of the offering made hereby is a condition to the closing
of the International Offering, and vice versa. The representatives of the
International Underwriters are Goldman Sachs International, Lehman Brothers
International (Europe) and Oppenheimer International Ltd.
This Prospectus may be used by underwriters and dealers in connection with
offers and sales of the Common Stock, including the shares initially sold in the
international offering, to persons located in the United States.
Pursuant to an Agreement between the U.S. and International Underwriting
Syndicates (the "Agreement Between") relating to the two offerings, each of the
U.S. Underwriters named herein has agreed that, as a part of the distribution of
the shares offered hereby and subject to certain exceptions, it will offer, sell
or deliver the shares of Common Stock, directly or indirectly, only in the
United States of America (including the States and the District of Columbia),
its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction
(the "United States") and to U.S. persons, which term shall mean, for purposes
of this paragraph: (a) any individual who is a resident of the United States or
(b) any corporation, partnership or other entity organized in or under the laws
of the United States or any political subdivision thereof and whose office most
directly involved with
U-1
<PAGE>
the purchase is located in the United States. Each of the International
Underwriters has agreed pursuant to the Agreement Between that, as a part of the
distribution of the shares offered as a part of the International Offering, and
subject to certain exceptions, it will (i) not, directly or indirectly, offer,
sell or deliver shares of Common Stock (a) in the United States or to any U.S.
persons or (b) to any person who it believes intends to reoffer, resell or
deliver the shares in the United States or to any U.S. persons, and (ii) cause
any dealer to whom it may sell such shares at any concession to agree to observe
a similar restriction.
Pursuant to the Agreement Between, sales may be made between the U.S.
Underwriters and the International Underwriters of such number of shares of
Common Stock as may be mutually agreed. The price of any shares so sold shall be
the initial public offering price, less an amount not greater than the selling
concession.
The Carlyle Fund has granted the U.S. Underwriters an option exercisable for
30 days after the date of the Prospectus to purchase up to an aggregate of
336,000 additional shares of Common Stock solely to cover over-allotments, if
any. If the U.S. Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, the U.S.
Underwriters have severally agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase
approximately the same percentage thereof that the number of shares to be
purchased by each of them, as shown in the foregoing table, bears to the
2,240,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby. The Carlyle Fund has granted
the International Underwriters a similar option exercisable up to an aggregate
of 84,000 additional shares of Common Stock.
The Company, the Selling Stockholders and certain directors and executive
officers have agreed that during the period beginning from the date of this
Prospectus and continuing to and including the date 90 days after the date of
the Prospectus, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any
shares of Common Stock or any securities of the Company which are substantially
similar to the shares of Common Stock, including but not limited to securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for, or represent the right to
receive, Common Stock or any such substantially similar securities (other than,
with respect to the Company, pursuant to employee stock option plans, employee
stock purchase plans, 401(k) plans or any other employee plans of similar
nature, including, without limitation, any such plans for the benefit of
directors or officers of the Company, which are described in this Prospectus or
in an acquisition in which the person or persons receiving the Common Stock or
substantially similar securities agree in writing to be bound by such clause)
without the prior written consent of the representatives, except for the shares
of Common Stock offered in connection with the concurrent U.S. and international
offerings.
The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the
several Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a Delaware corporation to 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 (other than an action by or in the
right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. A
corporation may, in advance of the final disposition of any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, pay the expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by any officer, director, employee or agent
in defending such action, provided that such person undertakes to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation. A corporation may indemnify such person 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 if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by
or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the
same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial
approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him
against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which he actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification provided is not
deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or director may
be entitled under any corporation's by-laws, agreement, vote or otherwise.
II-1
<PAGE>
In accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, Section 13 of the By-laws
provides that the Company shall indemnify any director, officer or employee of
the Company entitled to indemnity under the DGCL to the fullest extent permitted
by the DGCL; provided, however, that the Company may not be permitted to
indemnify any person in connection with any proceeding initiated by such person,
unless such proceeding is authorized by a majority of the directors of the
Company. Article Eighth of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a
director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Company or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize
further elimination or limitation of personal liability of directors, then the
liability of a director of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification
of Article Eighth of the Certificate of Incorporation will not adversely affect
any right or protection of a director of the Company existing at the time of
such repeal or modification.
Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement, a form of which will be included in
Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement, provides for indemnification of
directors and officers of the Company by the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(1) 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
Underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, the
Underwriting Agreement or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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 Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant 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 Registrant 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.
(4) The Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(a) 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 Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the
Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(b) 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 this offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(5) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the registration statement.

----------
prior to the Termination Date, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and

the Agent has received the Financials. In the event that the Borrower shall at
any time fail to furnish to the Lenders the Financials within the time
limitations specified by Section 6.1 or the definition of Permitted Acquisition,
as applicable, then the Borrower's Status shall be Level III Status from the
date of such failure until five Business Days after such Financials are so

---------------
continue as Alternate Base Rate Advances unless and until such Alternate Base
Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Committed Advances. Each Eurodollar

Committed Advance shall be automatically converted into an Alternate Base Rate
Advance unless repaid or unless the Borrower shall have given the Agent a

Committed Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of
a conversion into or continuation of a Eurocurrency Committed Advance,
the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.3.6(a) and (b), no Eurocurrency
Committed Advance shall be continued as or converted into a Eurocurrency
Committed Advance for a new Interest Period if the Dollar Equivalent of the

day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
2.4.2. Competitive Bid Quote Request. When the Borrower wishes to

upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time and date as the
Borrower and the Agent may agree; provided that First Chicago shall always be
required to submit its Competitive Bid Quotes not less than fifteen minutes
prior to the other Lenders). Subject to Articles IV and VIII, any Competitive
Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the
Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower.
(b) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall in any case specify: (i) the
proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be the same as that set forth in the
applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes; (ii) the principal amount of
the Competitive Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made, (1) which

or similar language, other than any such language contained in Exhibit "D"

------------------
Borrower of the terms (i) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Lender
that is in accordance with Section 2.4.4 and (ii) of any Competitive Bid Quote
that is in accordance with Section 2.4.4 and amends, modifies or is otherwise
inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Lender with
respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent
Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent
Competitive Bid Quote specifically states that it is submitted solely to correct
a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Agent's notice to the
Borrower shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans
for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the
related Competitive Bid Quote Request and the respective principal amounts and
Competitive Bid Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered.

---------------------------------
the notice from the Agent referred to in Section 2.4.5, not later than (i) 10:00
a.m. (Chicago time) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing
Date, in the case of a Eurodollar Auction or (ii) 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on
the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the
Borrower shall notify the Agent of the Borrower's acceptance or rejection of the
offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.4.5; provided, however, that the
failure by the Borrower to give such notice to the Agent shall be deemed to be a
rejection by the Borrower of all such offers. In the case of acceptance, such
notice (a "Competitive Bid Acceptance Notice") shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The
Borrower may accept or reject any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part
(subject to the terms of Section 2.4.4(b)(iv)); provided that:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance may
not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid
Quote Request;
(ii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending
Competitive Bid Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be; and
(iii) the Borrower may not accept any offer of the type described in
Section 2.4.4(c) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of
this Agreement for the purpose of obtaining a Competitive Bid Loan under
this Agreement.
2.4.7. Allocation by the Agent. If offers are made by two or more
-----------------------
Lenders with the same Competitive Bid Margins or Absolute Rate, as the case may
be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which
offers are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the
principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are
accepted shall be allocated by the Agent among such Lenders as nearly as
possible (in such multiples as the Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to
the aggregate principal amount of such offers; provided, however, that no Lender
shall be allocated a portion of any Competitive Bid Advance which is less than
the minimum amount which such Lender has indicated that it is willing to accept.
Allocations by the Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Agent shall promptly, but in
any event on the same Business Day in the case of Eurodollar Bid Rate Advances,
and by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the same Business Day in the case of
Absolute Rate Advances, notify
19

participating Lender.

agreed to in the fee letter described in Section 2.6.3. Such administration fee
shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date hereafter and on the

terminate or be cancelled) for any period then ending for which such fee, if
any, shall not have been theretofore paid.

specified in writing by the Agent. In the case of all other Advances, not later
than noon (Chicago time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make

Advances upon same day notice to the Agent. A Fixed Rate Advance may not be paid
prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period.
(b) Currency Fluctuations. If at any time the Agent shall
---------------------
determine that the Dollar Equivalent (and the Agent shall calculate the Dollar
Equivalent upon the request of any Lender) of the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Advances and Facility Letter of Credit Obligations is greater than
105% of the Aggregate Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall, upon one
(1) Business Day's written notice to the Borrower from the Agent, prepay an
aggregate principal amount of Advances such that the Dollar Equivalent of the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Advances and Facility Letter of Credit
Obligations does not exceed the Aggregate Commitment then in effect.
(c) Termination. The Borrower shall pay in full, on the
-----------
Termination Date, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Advances made to it
and repay (or cash collateralize) all other unpaid Obligations, all as more

2.3.6(a) to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a
Eurodollar Committed Advance pursuant to Section 2.3.6(a) hereof, at a rate per
annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of
interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as an Alternate Base Rate
Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base
Rate. Each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last
day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to
such Fixed Rate Advance. No Interest Period may end after the Termination Date.
2.9. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained in Section 2.3.5 or 2.3.6, during the continuance of a
Default or Unmatured Default no Advance may be made as, converted into or

Lenders). During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their
option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of
the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring
unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i)
each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable
Interest Period at
21

made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available
funds, to the Agent, in Dollars, at the Agent's address for Dollars, as

the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender
shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender, in the same type of
funds that the Agent received, at such Lender's address for Dollars or for
Foreign Currencies, as specified in Schedule "2" hereto, or at any other Lending
Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The
Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with
First Chicago for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due
hereunder.
2.10.2. Currency of Payment. All payments of principal of and interest
-------------------
on any Advance or payments of Reimbursement Obligations or any other Obligations
hereunder shall be made by the Borrower in the currency borrowed (the "Specified
Currency") in the manner and at the address (the "Specified Place") specified in
Section 2.10.1. Payment of the Obligations shall not be discharged by an amount
paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or
otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified
Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures
does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due
hereunder. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another
currency (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange which shall be applied
shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent
could purchase the Specified Currency with that amount of the Judgment Currency
on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is rendered. The
obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent
or any Lender hereunder (an "Entitled Person") shall, notwithstanding the rate
of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to
the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of
any sum adjudged to be due hereunder or under the Notes in the Judgment
Currency, such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the
amount of the Judgment Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby,
as a separate Obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to
indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on
demand, in the Specified Currency, any difference between the sum originally due
to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency and the amount of the
Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.
2.11. Notes; Telephonic Notices. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record
-------------------------
the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule
attached to its Notes; provided, however, that the failure to so record shall
not affect the Borrower's obligations under such Notes. The Borrower hereby
authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances,
effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds, and the Issuing
Bank to issue Facility Letters of Credit, based on telephonic notices made by
any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to
22
<PAGE>
be acting on behalf of the Borrower (or, for the issuance of Facility Letters of
Credit only, any Domestic Subsidiary). The Borrower (or such Domestic
Subsidiary) agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, if
such confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic
notice signed by any of its Authorized Officers. If the written confirmation
differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the
Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest
error.
2.12. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest on each
----------------------------------------------
Alternate Base Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any date on which
the Alternate Base Rate Advance is prepaid due to acceleration and at maturity.
Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance shall be payable on the last day of
its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Fixed Rate Advance is
prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued
on each Fixed Rate Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months
shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such
Interest Period. Interest and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed
on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance
is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is
received prior to noon (Chicago time or London time, as applicable) at the place
of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall
become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on
the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such
extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with
such payment.
2.13. Notification by Agent. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will
---------------------
notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction
notice, Committed Borrowing Notice, Competitive Bid Acceptance Notice,
Conversion/Continuation Notice, Letter of Credit Request, Issuance Notice and
repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender of
the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Advance promptly in writing upon
determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt written
notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
2.14. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending
---------------------
Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation
from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending
Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit
of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the
Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans
will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.
2.15. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender,
---------------------------------
as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is
scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the
proceeds of a Committed Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of
principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it
does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has
been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such
payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If
such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such
payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the
Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest
thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such
amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such
amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
23
<PAGE>
2.16. Withholding Tax Exemption. At least five Business Days prior to the
-------------------------
first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of
any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to each of
the Borrower and the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal
Revenue Service Form 1101 or 4224, certifying in either case that such Lender is
entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender
which so delivers a Form 1001 or 4224 further undertakes to deliver to each of
the Borrower and the Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor
form) on or before the date that such form expires (currently, three successive
calendar years for Form 1001 and one calendar year for Form 4224) or becomes
obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or
renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, in
each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change
in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such
form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Agent that
it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of
United States federal income tax.
2.17. Change in Circumstances.
-----------------------
2.17.1. Taxes.
-----
(a) Payments to be Free and Clear. All sums payable by the
-----------------------------
Borrower whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be
paid without deduction for any present and future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any country, any Governmental
Agency thereof or therein, any jurisdiction from which any or all such payments
are made and any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
(collectively, "Taxes"), which amounts shall be paid by the Borrower as provided
in Section 2.17.1 (b). The Borrower will pay each Lender the amounts necessary
such that the net amount of the principal, interest, fees or other sums received
and retained by each Lender is not less than the amount payable under this
Agreement.
(b) Grossing-up of Payments. If: (a) the Borrower or any other
-----------------------
Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any
such Tax or other amount from any sum paid or expressed to be payable by the
Borrower to any Lender under this Agreement; or (b) any party to this Agreement
(or any Person on its behalf) other than the Borrower is required by law to make
any deduction or withholding from, or (other than on account of tax on the
overall net income of that party) any payment on or calculated by reference to
the amount of, any such sum received or receivable by any Lender under this
Agreement:
(i) the Borrower shall notify the Agent of any such requirement or
any change in any such requirement as soon as the Borrower
becomes aware of it;
(ii) the Borrower shall pay any such Tax or other amount before the
date on which penalties attached thereto become due and payable,
such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on
the Borrower) for its own account or (if that
24
<PAGE>
liability is imposed on any party to this Agreement) on behalf of
and in the name of that party;
(iii) the sum payable by the Borrower in respect of which the relevant
deduction, withholding or payment is required shall (except, in
the case of any such payment, to the extent that the amount
thereof is not ascertainable when that sum is paid) be increased
to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that
deduction, withholding or payment, that party receives on the due
date and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such
deduction, withholding or payment) a sum equal to that which it
would have received and so retained had no such deduction,
withholding or payment been required or made; and
(iv) within thirty (30) days after payment of any sum from which the
Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding,
and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any
Tax or other amount which it is required by Section 2.17.1(b)(ii)
to pay, it shall deliver to the Agent all such certified
documents and other evidence as to the making of such deduction,
withholding or payment as (a) are satisfactory to other affected
parties as proof of such deduction, withholding or payment and of
the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority
and (b) are required by any such party to enable it to claim a
tax credit with respect to such deduction, withholding or
payment.
2.17.2. Yield Protection. If the adoption or promulgation, on or after
----------------
the date hereof, of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of
law), or any change, on or after the date hereof, in the interpretation thereof,
or the compliance of any Lender with any such adoption, promulgation or change
in interpretation,
(i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any tax,
duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the Borrower
(excluding United States federal taxation of the overall net income of
any Lender or applicable Lending Installation), or changes the basis
of taxation of payments to any Lender in respect of its Loans, its
interest in the Facility Letters of Credit or other amounts due it
hereunder, or
(ii) imposes, increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves
and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate
applicable to Fixed Rate Advances), or
(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the
cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making,
funding or maintaining loans or issuing letters of credit or reduces
any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending
Installation in connection with loans or letters of credit, or
requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any
payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans held, letters
of credit issued or participated in or interest received by it by an
amount deemed material by such Lender,
25
<PAGE>
then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall compensate
such Lender for that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in
an amount received which such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to
making, funding and maintaining its Loans, its interest in the Facility Letters
of Credit, and its Commitment.
2.17.3. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender
---------------------------------------
determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 15 days of demand
by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to
compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such
increased capital which such Lender determines is attributable to this
Agreement, its Loans, its interest in the Facility Letters of Credit, or its
obligation to make Loans, participate in or issue Facility Letters of Credit
hereunder (after taking into account such Lender's policies as to capital
adequacy). "Change" means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in
the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any
other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy,
guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation
or any corporation controlling any Lender. "Risk-Based Capital Guidelines"
means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on
the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the
corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside
the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on
Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices entitled "International
Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards," including
transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the
date of this Agreement.
2.17.4. Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines
----------------------------------
that maintenance of any of its Eurocurrency Loans at a suitable Lending
Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive,
whether or not having the force of law, the Agent shall suspend the availability
of the affected Type of Advance and require any Fixed Rate Advances of the
affected Type to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders determine that (i)
deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances are
not available, the Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of
Advance with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such
determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not
accurately reflect the cost of making a Fixed Rate Advance of such Type, then,
if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 2.17.2 are inapplicable,
the Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with
respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such
determination.
2.17.5. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Fixed Rate
-----------------------
Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest
Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Fixed
Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason
other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for
any loss or cost (including lost profits) incurred by it resulting therefrom,
including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing
deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Fixed Rate Advance.
2.17.6. Mitigation Of Additional Costs; Replacement of Lenders. If,
------------------------------------------------------
in respect of any Lender, circumstances arise which result in:
(i) an increase in the liability of the Borrower to such Lender under
Section 2.17.1, 2.17.2 or 2.17.3,
26
<PAGE>
(ii) the unavailability of a Type of Committed Advance under Section
2.17.4, or
(iii) a Lender being incapable of receiving payments without deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax;
then, without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the
Borrower's obligations under any of the Sections referred to above in this
Section 2.17.6, such Lender shall promptly upon becoming aware of such
circumstances notify the Agent thereof and such Lender shall, in consultation
with the Agent and the Borrower and to the extent that it can do so without
disadvantaging itself, take such reasonable steps as may be reasonably open to
it to mitigate the effects of such circumstances (including, without limitation,
the designation of an alternate Lending Installation or the transfer of its
Loans to another Lending Installation). If and so long as a Lender has been
unable to take, or has not taken, steps acceptable to the Borrower to mitigate
the effect of the circumstances in question, such Lender shall be obliged, at
the request of the Borrower, to assign all its rights and obligations hereunder
to another Person nominated by the Borrower with the approval of the Agent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and willing to participate in the
facility in place of such Lender; provided that such Person satisfies all of the
requirements of this Agreement including, but not limited to, providing the
forms required by Sections 2.16 and 12.3.2. Notwithstanding any such assignment,
the obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.17.1, 2.17.2, 2.17.3 and 9.7
shall survive any such assignment and be enforceable by such Lender.
2.17.7. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. Each shall deliver
----------------------------------------
a written statement of such Lender as to the amount due, if any, under Sections
2.17.1, 2.17.2, 2.17.3 or 2.17.5. Such written statement shall set forth in
reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount
and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of
manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in
connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender
funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and
maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the
Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.
Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement
shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of the written
statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.17.1, 2.17.2, 2.17.3
and 2.17.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this
Agreement.
2.18. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions
-----------------
referred to in Article IV with respect to any Foreign Currency Advance, if there
shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance any change in national or
international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange
rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Agent or
the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Foreign Currency Loans
comprising such Advance to be denominated in the Eurocurrency specified by the
Borrower, then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and
the Lenders, and such Loans shall not be denominated in such Eurocurrency but
shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount
specified in the related Committed Borrowing Notice as Alternate Base Rate
Loans, unless the Borrower notifies the Agent at least one Business Day before
such date that it elects not to borrow on such date.

-------------------
Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the
Borrower herein set forth, each Issuing Bank hereby agrees to issue for the

$10,000,000; and
(e) the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations, after giving effect to
any Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, do not exceed $50,000,000.
3.3. Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the
----------
conditions contained in Sections 3.2 and 4.2, the obligation of an Issuing Bank
to issue any Facility Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of
the following conditions:
(a) the Borrower (not a Domestic Subsidiary) shall have delivered to
---
such Issuing Bank an executed application, reimbursement agreement or such other

Documents, the terms of the Loan Documents shall control);
(b) the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuing Bank as to form and content; and
(c) as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment or decree of any
court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin

<PAGE>
requested Facility Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to
that Issuing Bank and no request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over that Issuing Bank
shall prohibit or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of
Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of the requested Facility Letter of
Credit in particular.
3.4. Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit.
----------------------------------------------------
(a) The Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary shall give the Issuing Bank
and the Agent at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice, signed by
an Authorized Officer, of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit
under this Agreement (a "Letter of Credit Request") (except that, in lieu of
such written notice, the Borrower or Domestic Subsidiary may give the Issuing
Bank and the Agent telephonic notice of such request if confirmed in writing by
delivery to the Issuing Bank and the Agent (i) immediately (A) of a telecopy of
the written notice required hereunder which has been signed by an Authorized
Officer or (B) of a telex containing all information required to be contained in
such written notice and (ii) promptly (but in no event later than the requested
date of issuance) of the written notice required hereunder containing the
original signature of an Authorized Officer); such notice shall be irrevocable
and shall specify:
(1) whether the requested Facility Letter of Credit is a Commercial

Standby Letter of Credit, whether the Borrower or Domestic
Subsidiary believes it to be a Financial Letter of Credit or a
Performance Letter of Credit;
(2) the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested
(which stated amount shall not be less than $250,000), provided,
however, that up to five Facility Letters of Credit issued in any
twelve month period may have a stated amount of less than
$250,000 each;
(3) the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of
issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit (the
"Issuance Date");
(4) the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to
expire (which date shall be a Business Day and shall comply with
the provisions of Section 3.2(c) and (d));
(5) the name of the Issuing Bank chosen by the Borrower or Domestic
Subsidiary to issue the requested Facility Letter of Credit;
(6) the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be
issued;
(7) the name of the account party to be listed on the Facility Letter
of Credit (notwithstanding the fact that the Borrower shall be
responsible therefor); and
(8) the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of
Credit is to be issued.
29
<PAGE>
At the time such request is made, the Borrower or Domestic Subsidiary shall also
provide the Agent and the Issuing Bank with a copy of the form of the Facility
Letter of Credit it is requesting be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must
be received by such Issuing Bank and the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago
time) on the last Business Day on which notice can be given under this Section
3.4(a).
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article III and
provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 hereof have
been satisfied, such Issuing Bank shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a Facility
Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Issuing Bank's
usual and customary business practices unless the Issuing Bank has actually
received (i) written notice from the Borrower or Domestic Subsidiary
specifically revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility
Letter of Credit, (ii) written notice from a Lender, which complies with the
provisions of Section 3.6(a) or (iii) written or telephonic notice from the
Agent stating that the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would violate
Section 3.2.
(c) Each Issuing Bank shall give the Agent and the Borrower written or
telex notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of
the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit (the "Issuance Notice"), which shall
indicate, in the case of the issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit, the Issuing
Bank's reasonable determination as to whether such Standby Letter of Credit is a
Financial Letter of Credit or a Performance Letter of Credit, which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) An Issuing Bank shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of
Credit or allow a Facility Letter of Credit to be automatically extended unless
the requirements of this Section 3.4 are met as though a new Facility Letter of
Credit was being requested and issued.
3.5. Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Banks.
--------------------------------------------------
(a) (i) Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Agent of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall
reimburse such Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 3.7; and (ii) any
Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Facility Letter of Credit shall
bear interest from the date of the relevant drawings under the pertinent
Facility Letter of Credit until payment in full is received by the pertinent
Issuing Bank at (A) the Alternate Base Rate until the next succeeding Business
Day and (B) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2% thereafter.
(b) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under
or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the
absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put that Issuing
Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender or, assuming that such Issuing
Bank has complied with the procedures specified in Section 3.4, all conditions
to the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit have been satisfied and any such
Lender has not given a notice contemplated by Section 3.6(a) that continues in
full force and effect, relieve any such Lender of its obligations hereunder to
that Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of
Credit, an Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other
than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Facility
Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance and that they
appear to comply on their face, with the requirements of such Facility Letter of
Credit.

3.6. Participation.
-------------
(a) Immediately upon (i) the Effective Date with respect to each
Existing Letter of Credit and (ii) issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Facility
Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4,
each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased
and received from that Issuing Bank, without recourse, representation or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to its Percentage in
such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all rights and
obligations of the Issuing Bank with respect thereto) and any security therefor
or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided, that a Letter of Credit issued by any
Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to be a Facility Letter of Credit for purposes
of this Section 3.6 if such Issuing Bank shall have received written notice from
any Lender on or before the Business Day prior to the date of its issuance of
such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions contained in Section
4.2 is not then satisfied, and, in the event an Issuing Bank receives such a
notice, it shall have no further obligation to issue any Facility Letter of
Credit until such notice is withdrawn by that Lender or it receives a notice
from the Agent that such condition has been effectively waived in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) In the event that any Issuing Bank makes any payment under any
Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to
such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, such Issuing Bank shall
promptly notify the Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender, of such
failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent for
the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender's Percentage of the
unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the Agent shall promptly pay such
amount to the Issuing Bank. The failure of any Lender to make available to the
Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed
amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation
hereunder to make available to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank
its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such
payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to make available to the Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed
amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made.
(c) Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a
Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, it shall promptly pay
to the Agent and the Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender which has funded
its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount
equal to such Lender's Percentage thereof.
(d) Upon the request of the Agent or any Lender, an Issuing Bank
shall furnish to such Agent or Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to
which that Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably

and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to

may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
5.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery
-------------------------------

therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate
any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree
35
<PAGE>
or award binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Borrower's or
any Subsidiary's certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws or the

Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of
the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture,
instrument or agreement. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any

as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been
provided. No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with
respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental
charges are adequate.

notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any
of the requirements of applicable federal, state and local environmental, health
and safety statutes and regulations or the subject of any federal or state
investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a
release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which
non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans,

on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis;
(b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower
and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the

liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other
liabilities become absolute and matured;

does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond (i)
the Borrower's ability to pay its debts as they mature and (ii) the ability of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to pay all such debts
as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be
received by it or any such Subsidiary and the timing of the amounts of cash to
be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such
Subsidiary.
5.20. Single Business Enterprise. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have
--------------------------
historically operated as, and intend to continue operating as a single business
enterprise. Although separate entities, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
operate under a common business plan. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
will accordingly benefit from the financing arrangement established by this

ARTICLE VIII
ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
----------------------------------------------
8.1. Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7
------------
occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make
Loans and of an Issuing Bank to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder
shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become
due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent or
any Lender. If any other Default occurs and is continuing, the Required
Lenders may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make
Loans and of an Issuing Bank to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder,
or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby
expressly waives. In addition to the foregoing following the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default, so long as any Facility Letter of
Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been cancelled or expired by
its terms, upon demand by the Agent the Borrower shall deposit in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the
aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit
and all fees and other amounts due or which may become due with respect
thereto. The Borrower shall have no control over funds in the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account, which funds shall be invested by the Agent from
time to time in its discretion in certificates of deposit of First Chicago
having a maturity not exceeding thirty days, so long as the Borrower has
provided the Agent with such documents as the Agent shall have requested in
order to perfect a security interest in such certificates of deposit. Such
funds shall be promptly applied by the Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank
for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility Letters of Credit.
Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account
following the payment of all Obligations in full shall, unless the Agent is
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid
over to the Borrower.
If, within 14 days after acceleration of the maturity of the
Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans
and of an Issuing Bank to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder as a
result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6
or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for
the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the
Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent
shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration
and/or termination.
8.2. Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII,
----------
the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the
Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental
hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan
Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the
Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however,
-------- -------
that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each
Lender, directly or indirectly, affected thereby:
(i) Extend the maturity of any Loan or Note or forgive all or any
portion of the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest or fees
thereon.
46
<PAGE>
(ii) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required
Lenders.
(iii) Reduce the amount or extend the payment date for, the
mandatory payments required under Section 2.7, or increase the
amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder, or permit
the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.
(iv) Amend (a) this Section 8.2 or (b) Section 3.2, 7.6 or 7.7.
(v) Increase the maximum drawable amount or extend the expiration
date of any outstanding Facility Letter of Credit (except as
expressly permitted by its terms and in accordance with
Article III) or reduce the principal amount of or extend the
time of payment of any Reimbursement Obligation or fee
associated with any Facility Letter of Credit.
(vi) Release any Guarantor of any of the Obligations or release all
or substantially all of any collateral, if any.
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Agent shall
be effective without the written consent of the Agent. The Agent may waive
payment of any fee payable to, and for the sole benefit of, the Agent
without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement.
8.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or
----------------------
the Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such
right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence
therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a
Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions
precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any
single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver,
amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the
Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the
Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in
such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan
Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available
to the Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

Agent's giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent
may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent.
No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such
successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent
shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least
$100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by
a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
resigning Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Agent,
the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the
resignation of an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents.
ARTICLE XI.
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
------------------------
11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights
------
of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent,
however evidenced, or any Default or Unmatured Default occurs, any and all
deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and
whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any
time held or owing by any Lender to or for the credit or account of the
Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations
owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof,
shall then be due.
11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or
----------------
otherwise, has payment made to it upon its share of any Advance (other than
payments received pursuant to Sections 2.17.1, 2.17.2, 2.17.3 or 2.17.5) in
a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender
agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans comprising
that Advance held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each
Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans comprising that Advance.
If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be
subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for
its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender
agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all
Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to
their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or
otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
-------------------------------------------------
12.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan
----------------------
Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower
and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that
(i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or
obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender
must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. Notwithstanding clause (ii)
of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the
Borrower or the Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that
-------- -------
no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations
hereunder. The Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof
for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section
12.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other
transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Agent. Any
assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound
by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request
or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note, shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of
such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
12.2. Participations.
--------------
12.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the
------------------------------
ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law,
at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities
("Participants") participating interests in any Loan owing to such
Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Lender's Percentage of
Facility Letters of Credit, any Commitment of such Lender or any other
interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any
such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant,
such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain
unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender
shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the
Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this
Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participating interests, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.
12.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to
---------------
approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other
than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan,
Facility Letter of Credit or Commitment in which such Participant has
an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the
interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan, Facility
Letter of Credit or Commitment, postpones any date fixed for any
regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on,
any such Loan, Facility Letter of Credit or Commitment, releases any
Guarantor or releases any substantial portion of collateral, if any,
securing any such Loan or Facility Letter of Credit.
53
<PAGE>
12.2.3. Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each
-------------------
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in
Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing
under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its
participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the
Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of
setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of
participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to
share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the
right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each
Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of
setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as
if each Participant were a Lender.
12.3. Assignments.
-----------
12.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary
---------------------
course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any
time assign to one or more banks or other entities ("Purchasers") all
or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.
Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit "I"
hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties
thereto. The consent of the Borrower and the Agent shall be required
prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser
which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that
-------- -------
if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the
Borrower shall not be required. Such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
12.3.2. Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of
----------------------
a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Annex
"I" to Exhibit "I" hereto (a "Notice of Assignment"), together with
any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $2,500
fee to the Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall
become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of
Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by
the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to
make the purchase of the Commitment, Facility Letters of Credit and
Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are "plan assets" as
defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser
in and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan assets" under ERISA.
On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser
shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any
other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the
rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the
same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further
consent or action by any of the Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent
shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to its
Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment, Facility Letters of Credit and
Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any
assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the
transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate
arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor
Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued
to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their
Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. In addition,
within a reasonable time after the effective date of any assignment,
the Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise
Schedule "1" reflecting the revised Percentages of each of the Lenders
and shall distribute such revised Schedule "I" to the Lenders and the
Borrower and such revised Schedule "1" shall replace the old Schedule
"1" and become part of this Agreement.
54
<PAGE>
12.4. Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each
----------------------------
Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person
acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each
a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all information
in such Lender's possession concerning the creditworthiness of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and
--------
prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality
restrictions set forth in Section 9.16 of this Agreement.
12.5. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is
-------------
transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the
transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of
Section 2.16.
ARTICLE XIII
NOTICES
-------
13.1. Giving Notice. Except as otherwise permitted by Section
-------------
2.11 with respect to borrowing notices, all notices and other
communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by telex or by
facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set
forth below its signature hereto or at such other address as may be

if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed

shall be deemed given when transmitted (answerback confirmed in the
case of telexes).
13.2. Change of Address. The Borrower, the Agent and any Lender
-----------------
may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice
in writing to the other parties hereto.
ARTICLE XIV

which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties
hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This

elect for Salary Reduction Contributions to recommence
until a subsequent Election Date, commencing with the
first Election Date following the date of such revocation
by at least six months. The Employer may amend or revoke a
Salary Reduction Agreement with a Participant at any time
if the Employer determines that such amendment or
revocation is necessary to ensure that the annual
additions (as defined in Section 2.3(a)) to the Accounts
of a Participant do not exceed the maximum permissible
amount (as described in Section 2.3) for such Participant
for that Plan Year or to ensure that the requirements of
Section 2.1 (d) are met for such Plan Year. Effective

Earnings subject to salary reduction may be made of any
Election Date.

2.4 Limitations on Contributions
All Employer Salary Reduction Contributions and Employer Matching
Contributions for any Plan Year shall be made out of the Net Profits
of the Employer for such year or out of accumulated Net Profits for
preceding years; provided, that to the extent necessary to provide
the top-heavy minimum allocations described in Section 15, the
Employer shall make a contribution even if it exceeds current or
accumulated Net Profits or the amount which is deductible under
Section 404 of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 2, in no event shall the Employer contribute an amount
for any limitation year (as defined in Section 2.5) which would cause
the limitations in Section 2.5 to be exceeded. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 2, each contribution to the Plan by the
Employer shall be made conditional upon being deductible under Section
404 of the Code and upon the Plan being qualified under Section 401
(a) of the Code for the Plan Year for which such contribution is made.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Net Profits requirement shall no longer
apply to Salary Reduction Contributions.
2.5 Limitations on Allocations
In administering the Plan, the following special provisions shall
apply:
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(c), in no event shall
the sum of the annual additions to the Accounts of a
Participant for any limitation year under this Plan and under
any other defined contribution plan (as defined in Section
2.5(d) of the Employer in which the Participant participates
exceed in the aggregate the lesser of: (i) $30,000, referred
to herein as the "dollar limitation", or (ii) 25% of such
Participant's compensation received during the limitation
year, referred to herein as the "compensation limitation." For
limitation years beginning on and after January 1, 1988, the
amount of the dollar limitation shall be adjusted in
accordance with Treasury regulations to reflect increases in
the cost of living. In the event that the limitations provided
in this Section 2.5(a) would be exceeded for any limitation
year with respect to any Participant, any required reduction
in the annual addition to his Accounts shall be made with
respect to the annual addition to his Account under this Plan
as provided in Section 2.5(b).
<PAGE>
-19-
(b) If, as a result of an error in estimating a Participant's
compensation, or other limited facts and circumstances, the
dollar limitation or the compensation limitation set forth in
Section 2.5(a) would be exceeded for any limitation year, such
excess with respect to a Participant for such limitation year
shall be disposed of in the following order:
(i) Any Nondeductible Employee Contributions (and any gains
attributable thereto) to the extent of such excess shall
be returned to the Participant.
(ii) If further reductions are necessary, then such
Participant's share of the Employer Salary Reduction
Contributions (or Employer Matching Contributions) for
the limitation year shall be reduced to the extent of
such remaining excess. The amount of the reduction shall
be reallocated among the remaining Participants in the
ratio which each of such Participant's compensation
during the limitation year in question bears to the
aggregate compensation of all such Participants during
such limitation year and before any Contributions such
limitation year are allocated. If all of the amount of
such reduction with respect to the Participant and the
amount of any reduction with respect to any other
Participant cannot be reallocated without causing the
Accounts of each other Participant to exceed the dollar
limitation or the compensation limitation, then such
amount shall be credited to a separate special account,
designated as the "Suspense Account."
(iii) The Suspense Account shall contain the excess amounts of
Contributions from all limitation years. Such excess
amounts shall be allocated for each succeeding limitation
year among the Salary Reduction Accounts and Employer
Matching Contribution Accounts of Participants in the
ratio which each of such Participant's compensation for
the limitation year in question bears to the aggregate
compensation of all such Participants during such
limitation year and before any Nondeductible Employee
Contributions, Salary Reduction Contributions, or
Employer Matching Contributions for such year are
allocated. The Suspense Account shall be adjusted
annually for additions thereto and distributions
therefrom. In the event the Plan is
<PAGE>
-20-
terminated, any balance in the Suspense Account shall be
distributed to the Participants.
(c) In the event that an individual shall at any time be a
Participant in the Plan and in a defined benefit plan of the
Employer, in no event shall the sum of the defined benefit
fraction (as defined in this Section 2.5(c)) and the defined
contribution fraction (as defined in this Section 2.5(c)) for
any limitation year exceed 1.0. For purposes of this Section
2.5(c), and except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.5,
the defined benefit fraction for any limitation year of a
defined benefit Plan shall be a fraction, the numerator of which
is the projected annual benefit of the Participant under the
defined benefit Plan (as determined as of the close of such
limitation year), and the denominator of which is the lesser of
(i) the product of 1.25 and the dollar limitation in effect for
defined benefit Plans for such limitation year (referred to
herein as the "defined benefit dollar limitation"), and (ii) the
product of 1.4 and 100% of the Participant's average annual
Compensation for the period of three consecutive calendar years
(or the actual number of consecutive years of Service with the
Employer if the Participant was in Service with the Employer for
less than three consecutive years) which will produce the
highest average (referred to herein as the "defined benefit
compensation limitation"). The defined contribution fraction for
any limitation year of this Plan shall be a fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the annual additions to the
Participant's Accounts through the close of such limitation
year, and the denominator of which is the sum of the lesser of
(A) or (B) for such limitation year and for each prior
limitation year during which the Participant was an Employee of
the Employer (regardless of whether a Plan was in existence
during those years), where (A) is the product of 1.25 and the
dollar limitation and (B) is the product of 1.4 and the
compensation limitation for the limitation year. In the event the
limitation provided in this Section 2.5(c) would be exceeded for
any limitation year, the reduction in the sum of the defined
benefit fraction and the defined contribution fraction necessary
to comply with the limitation shall be made in the defined
contribution fraction and any reductions in
<PAGE>
-21-
the annual addition to the Accounts of any Participant shall be
made in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and Section 2.5(b).
(d) For the purpose of applying the rules of this Section 2.5, the
following provisions shall apply:
(i) all defined benefit plans of the Employer shall be
considered as a single plan and all defined contribution
plans of the Employer shall be considered as a single
plan;
(ii) "defined contribution plan" shall mean a plan, including
this Plan, which provides for an individual account for
each Participant and for benefits based solely on the
amount contributed to the Participant's account and any
income, expenses, gains and losses, and any forfeitures
of accounts of other Participants, which may be allocated
to such Participant's account; and "Defined Benefit Plan"
shall mean any plan which is not a defined contribution
plan; provided, that there shall be included within the
definition of a defined contribution plan or a defined
benefit plan, as the case may be, only plans which are
described in Section 415(k)(1) of the Code;
(iii) all corporations in a controlled group of corporations
with the Employer (within the meaning of Section 414(b)
of the Code as modified by Section 415(h) of the Code),
all trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated)
under common control with the Employer (within the
meaning of Section 414(c) of the Code as modified by
Section 415(h) of the Code) and all members of an
affiliated service group with the Employer (within the
meaning of Section 414(m) of the Code) shall be
considered to be the Employer;
(iv) "projected annual benefit" shall mean the annual normal
retirement benefit payable in the form of a straight life
annuity (with no ancillary benefits) to which a
Participant would be entitled under the terms of the
defined benefit plan if the following factors are
assumed:
(A) the Participant will continue employment with the
Employer until he reaches normal retirement age
under the defined benefit plan (or
<PAGE>
-22 -
until his then current age, if he has previously
reached such normal retirement age),
(B) the Participant's compensation for the limitation
year will remain the same until the date the
Participant attains normal retirement age under
the defined benefit plan, and
(C) all other relevant factors used to determine
benefits under the defined benefit plan for the
limitation year will remain constant for all future
limitation years;
(v) the "limitation year" shall be the Plan Year;
(vi) "compensation" shall mean for any Participant the wages,
salary, and other amounts paid or accrued with respect to
such Participant by the Employer during the limitation
year for personal services actually rendered by the
Participant in the course of his service with the Employer
(including, but not limited to, commissions, compensation
for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, and
bonuses) and excluding contributions made by the Employer
to any plan of deferred compensation, amounts realized
from the exercise of a nonqualified stock option or from
the sale or other disposition of stock acquired by the
exercise of an incentive stock option, and any other
amount paid by the Employer which receives special tax
benefits; and
(vii) the "annual addition" with respect to any limitation year
shall mean the sum of the following items allocated on
behalf of a Participant (A) Employer contributions
(including Salary Reduction Contributions made pursuant to
Section 2.1); (B) all forfeitures; (C) for contributions
made prior to December 26, 1987, the lesser of (1) the
amount of the Participant's Nondeductible Employee
Contributions in excess of six percent of such
Participant's compensation for the limitation year, and
(2) one-half of such Participant's Nondeductible Employee
Contribution (Nondeductible Employee Contributions shall
be considered made with respect to a particular Plan Year
if such contributions are actually made by the Participant
during such Plan Year or within thirty days after the
close of
<PAGE>
-23-
such Plan Year) and all of the Participant's Non-
deductible Employee Contributions made after December 25,
1987; (D) amounts allocated, after March 31, 1984, to an
individual medical account, as defined in Section 415(l)
of the Code, which is part of a defined benefit plan
maintained by the Employer; and (E) amounts derived from
contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in
taxable years ending after such date, which are
attributable to post-retirement medical benefits allocated
to the separate account of a key employee, as defined in
Section 419(A)(d) of the Code, under a welfare benefit
fund, as defined in Section 419(e) of the Code, maintained
by the Employer. Provided, that the following are not
"annual additions": (A) transfers of funds from one
qualified Plan to another, (B) Rollover Contributions (as
defined in Sections 402(a)(5), 403(a)(4), 408(d)(3) and
409(b)(3)(C) of the Code, (C) repayments of loans made to

deductible Employee contributions to a qualified plan.
2.6 Nondeductible Voluntary Employee Contributions
No Nondeductible Employee Contributions shall be made or accepted by
the Plan effective December 26, 1987. Nondeductible Voluntary
Contributions made prior to December 26, 1987 by a Participant, and
all amounts stemming therefrom, shall be allocated to his
Nondeductible Employee Contribution Account. Assets of the
Nondeductible Contribution Accounts may be mingled for investment with
other funds of the Trust. A Participant having an amount in his
Nondeductible Contribution Account may, by giving at least ten days
(no longer required, effective July 1, 1995) written notice to the
Committee, withdraw all or a designated portion of the amount then in
his Nondeductible Contribution Account. Such withdrawal shall be paid
to the Participant as soon as practicable. To the extent not
<PAGE>
-24-
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.4, the Committee
may promulgate rules or by-laws supplementing and implementing the
provisions of this Section 2.4.
<PAGE>
-25-
SECTION 3 - RETIREMENT; TERMINATION OF SERVICE; DEATH
-----------------------------------------------------
3.1 Normal Retirement
A Participant who is in Service shall be eligible to retire from
Service at his Normal Retirement Date.
3.2 Delayed Retirement
If a Participant shall remain in Service following his Normal
Retirement Date, his Retirement date shall be the date he shall
actually terminate Service for reasons other than death. During the
period that such Participant remains in Service pursuant to this
Section 3.2, he shall continue to be a Participant for and including
each Plan Year in which he meets the requirements therefor. If an
Employee not otherwise a Participant becomes eligible to enter the
Plan following his Normal Retirement Date, the provisions of this
Section 3.2 shall apply in determining his Retirement date.
3.3 Disability
If a Participant shall suffer Disability while in Service prior to his
Normal Retirement Date, he may retire as of the date of establishment
of his Disability and the balance in his Account may be payable as
provided in Section 3.5, treating for this purpose the date of his
Disability Retirement as if it were his Normal Retirement Date.
3.4 Termination of Service
A Participant who has terminated Service and who is not eligible to
retire under the Plan on the date of his termination, and whose vested
balance in his Accounts as of the Adjustment Date coincident with or
next following his termination (the "Termination Adjustment Date") is
less than or equal to $3,500, shall be paid such balance in a lump sum
as soon as practicable following his Termination Adjustment Date. A
Participant who has terminated Service and who is not eligible to
retire under the Plan on the date of his termination, and whose vested
balance in his Accounts as of the Termination Adjustment Date exceeds
$3,500, may elect to be paid such balance in a lump sum as soon as
practicable following
<PAGE>
-26-
his Termination Adjustment Date. Such election shall be submitted in
writing on or before the Termination Adjustment Date and shall be
irrevocable on such date. If such Participant shall fail to submit
such election, the balance in his Accounts shall be held under the
Plan, and adjusted as of each Adjustment Date pursuant to Section 3.7,
until the earlier of his Normal Retirement Date or death, whereupon
such balance, as adjusted, shall be paid to him or his Beneficiary, as
the case may be, in the same manner as if he were in Service at the
time of his Normal Retirement Date or death. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, no distribution shall be made pursuant to this
Section 3.4 if the Participant shall be in Service on the date payment
of the lump sum is to be made.
3.5 Payment of Accounts
As of the close of business of the Plan on the Adjustment Date
coincident with or next following the date a Participant retires, the
balance in his Accounts, as adjusted as of such Adjustment Date, shall
be paid to him in a lump sum. In applying the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.5, the following special provisions shall apply:
(a) Payment must be made within sixty days following the later of:
(i) the Year-End Adjustment Date coincident with or next
following his Normal Retirement Age, or
(ii) the close of the Plan Year in which he shall retire or
otherwise terminate Service.
In the event that, within the applicable sixty-day period, the
amount of payment cannot be determined or the recipient thereof
cannot be located after a reasonable effort has been made to
locate him, payments retroactive to the close of such sixty-day
period shall be made within sixty days after the amount has been
determined or the recipient has been located, whichever shall be
applicable.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary,
distribution of the Accounts of a Participant shall commence no
later than the first day of April following the earlier of:
(i) the calendar year in which the Participant attains age
70 1/2, or
(ii) the calendar year in which the Participant retires.
<PAGE>
-27-
(c) Distributions from the Plan shall be in cash or in kind, or partly in
cash and partly in kind, as determined by the Committee in its
discretion.
(d) All amounts payable to a Participant shall be subject to the rights
afforded to an "alternate payee" under a "qualified domestic relations
order" as those terms are defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.
3.6 Death
As of the Adjustment Date coincident with or next following the death while
in Service of a Participant or the death of a terminated or Retired
Participant who has a vested balance in any of his Accounts at the time of
his death, his Beneficiary (subject to the provisions of Section 10) shall
receive such balance in a lump sum.
3.7 Continued Share in Profits or Losses of Trust Fund
If all or any part of the balances in the Accounts of any individual is
being held in the Trust for future payment to him, his Accounts under the
Plan shall continue to be adjusted as provided in Sections 5.3.
3.8 Loans
Upon the written application of any Participant who is in Service on
or after July 1, 1995, the Committee in accordance with its uniform,
nondiscriminatory policy may direct the Trustee to permit the Participant
to borrow from the Trust, subject to the following provisions:
(a) The Participant shall borrow from the amounts in his Accounts. The
loan principal will be funded from his Accounts in the following
order. First, from the Participant's Rollover Account; second, from
the Nondeductible Contribution Account; third, from the Employer
Matching Contribution Account; and fourth, from the Salary Reduction
Contribution Account. Within each Account, borrowings shall be
allocated proportionately among the elected Investment Funds. Loan
repayments shall be allocated back to the Participant's Accounts in
reverse order to which the loan principal is withdrawn. The minimum
principal amount of
<PAGE>
-28-
any loan to a Participant shall be $500. The maximum principal
amount of any loan made to the Participant, when added to the then
unpaid balance on all loans previously made to the Participant,
shall not exceed the following applicable limitation:
(i) $50,000, if the vested balance in the Accounts of the
Participant shall be $100,000 or more reduced by the highest
outstanding loan balance of the Participant within the 12
months preceding the date of the loan; or
(ii) One-half of the vested balance in the Accounts of the
Participant, if the vested balance in the Accounts of the
Participant shall be less than $100,000.
If a Participant shall have a vested accrued benefit in more than
one tax-qualified retirement plan of the Employer, the limitation in
(i) or (ii) shall be applied both with respect to this Plan only and
with respect to all such plans in the aggregate. In applying the
limitations with respect to this Plan, only loans to the Participant
under this Plan and the vested balance in his Accounts under this
Plan shall be taken into account. In applying the limitations with
respect to all such plans in the aggregate, all loans to the
Participant under all such plans and the sum of the vested balance
in his Accounts and his vested accrued benefits under all such plans
shall be taken into account.
(b) All loans shall be allocated to the Accounts of the borrowing
Participant and shall be repayable by their terms within five years
from the date made, except that the obligation to repay shall not
exceed twenty years with respect to a loan made to a Participant for
the purpose of acquiring, or constructing any dwelling unit
(including a house, apartment, condominium or a mobile home not used
on a transient basis) which is used or will be used within a
reasonable time (determined at the time the loan is made) as the
primary residence of the Participant. A Participant may have two
loans outstanding at any time but only one may be a general purpose
five-year loan and the other must be a loan for the purchase or
construction of a principal residence.
<PAGE>
-29-
(c) An application for a loan shall be made in writing to the Committee
on a form provided by the Committee. Each Participant making an
application for a loan shall receive from the Trustee a statement of
the terms of each loan transaction. This statement shall include the
amount financed and the annual interest rate.
(d) Each loan shall be secured by the pledge of the amounts in the
borrowing Participants Accounts. After July 1, 1995, no other
security shall be accepted or requested by the Committee as security
for the loan.
(e) Each loan shall be evidenced by a negotiable promissory note (the
"note") in form acceptable to the Trustee, payable to the order of
the Trustee, bearing interest at the prime rate as determined by the
Committee as of the first day of the month in which the loan is
initiated and, except as provided in Section 3.8(b), payable in full
not more than five years from the date thereof. The borrowing
Participant shall execute any additional documents as shall be
deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee to consummate the
loan and to provide reasonable safeguards. The principal amount of
each loan to a Participant shall be an investment allocated solely
to the appropriate Accounts of the borrowing Participant and the
note and all interest paid thereon shall be allocated to the
Accounts of the borrowing Participant as provided in Sections 5.3
and 5.4. The Employer shall establish a procedure for withholding at
appropriate intervals from the borrowing Participant's regular
payroll checks amounts necessary to satisfy the borrowing
Participant's repayment obligations under the note. All amounts so
withheld shall be transferred immediately to the Trustee.
(f) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events of default
shall constitute a default by the borrowing Participant under the
terms of the loan, whereupon the unpaid balance of the note,
together with accrued interest, will immediately become due and
payable without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind.
Events of default include: (i) failure to make any payment when due,
whether by acceleration or otherwise; (ii) bankruptcy or insolvency
of the borrowing Participant; (iii) death, retirement or termination
of Service of the
<PAGE>
-30-
borrowing Participant; or (iv) a hardship withdrawal as provided in
Section 3.9. Effective July 1, 1995, (iv) above shall no longer
constitute a default.
(g) If an event of default shall occur with respect to a borrowing
Participant, the entire unpaid principal amount of the note, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, shall immediately become due and
payable. Unless such unpaid principal and interest are paid within
90 days following such default, such unpaid principal and interest
shall be charged against the defaulting Participant's Accounts as a
payment therefrom as provided in Section 5.3. The Participant shall
remain liable for any deficiency. No distribution to which such
Participant or the Beneficiary of such Participant is entitled under
the Plan shall be made to such Participant or to his Beneficiary
unless and until all unpaid loans, including interest thereon, have
been satisfied.
3.9 Pretermination Distributions
(a) Hardship withdrawals
(i) A Participant may, at any time prior to his termination of
Service, make application to the Committee to withdraw in a
lump sum all or a portion of the balance (determined as of
the Adjustment Date coincident with or immediately preceding
the date a withdrawal request is made) of his Salary
Reduction Contribution Account by reason of the immediate
and heavy financial needs of the Participant. A withdrawal
on account of immediate and heavy financial needs shall not
exceed the amount required to meet the immediate financial
need created by the hardship and not otherwise reasonably
available from other resources of the Participant. For
purposes of this Section 3.9(a), "immediate and heavy
financial needs" shall be limited to those financial needs
arising on account of the illness or accident of a
Participant or a member of his immediate family. Immediate
and heavy financial needs shall not include those expenses
which are reasonably anticipated to be covered by insurance.
The determination of whether a heavy financial need
constitutes an immediate and heavy financial need within the
scope of this Section 3.9(a) and the pertinent sections of
the Code
<PAGE>
-31-
shall be made by the Committee in its sole and exclusive
discretion, and its decision to grant or deny a withdrawal
on account of financial hardship shall be final. The
Committee shall apply uniform and nondiscriminatory
standards in making its decision. Effective July 1, 1995,
"immediate and heavy financial need" shall also include
purchase of a Participant's principal residence, payment of
post-secondary tuition for the Participant, Participant's
spouse, children or dependents for a 12-month period, or
prevention of eviction or foreclosure on the mortgage of the
Participant's principal residence. The Participant's
representation that one of these events has occurred and
cannot be relieved by other sources specified in the section
401(k) regulations shall constitute acceptable evidence of
hardship without further investigation by the Committee.
(ii) The Participant's request for a withdrawal on account of
financial hardship must be made in writing. The request must
specify the nature of the financial hardship, the total
amount to be withdrawn from his Salary Reduction
Contribution Account, and that the financial needs cannot be
satisfied from other resources including non-taxable plan
loans.
(iii) If a withdrawal under this Section 3.9(a) is approved, such
withdrawal shall be made as of the next following Adjustment
Date. The processing of the request shall be completed as
soon as practicable from the dated on which the Trustee
receives the properly completed written request for a
withdrawal on account of financial hardship. If a
Participant's termination of Service occurs after a request
is approved in accordance with this Section 3.9(a) but prior
to distribution of the full amount approved, the approval of
his request shall be automatically void and the benefits he
is entitled to receive under the Plan shall be distributed
in accordance with the applicable distribution provisions of
the Plan. Only one withdrawal shall be made within any Plan
Year. Effective July 1, 1995, the limitation to one
withdrawal per Plan Year is eliminated.
<PAGE>
-32-
(iv) The Committee may from time to time adopt additional
policies or rules governing the manner in which such
withdrawals may be made so that the Plan may be conveniently
administered.
(v) In the event that a Participant should make a withdrawal
pursuant to this Section 3.9(a), Salary Reduction
Contributions and Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution on
his behalf shall be suspended for 12 months following the
date as of which such hardship withdrawal is made. Any
election to resume Salary Reduction Contributions and
Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions must be made in
writing as provided in Section 2.1. Amounts withdrawn
pursuant to this Section 3.9(a) shall not be returned to the
Plan.
(b) Distributions after age 59 1/2: A Participant who has attained the
age of 59 1/2 may elect, by written request to the Committee, to
withdraw from his Salary Reduction Contribution account an amount
not in excess of the adjusted balance thereof, determined as of the
Adjustment Date coinciding with or next preceding the date of such
withdrawal. No withdrawal made under this Section 3.9(b) shall be
for an amount which is less than the lesser of: (i) $500, or (ii)
the adjusted balance in the Participant's Salary Reduction
Contribution Account. Effective July 1, 1995, the $500 minimum
distribution is eliminated.
<PAGE>
-33-
Section 4 - Vesting
-------------------
4.1 Salary Reduction Contribution Accounts, Nondeductible Voluntary Employee
Contribution Accounts, and Rollover Contribution Accounts A Participant
shall be fully vested in each of these Accounts at all times.
4.2 Employer Matching Contribution Accounts
A Participant shall be fully vested in his Employer Matching Contribution
Account upon the completion of a period of three years of service. If a
Participant should incur a severance from service prior to the completion
of three years of service, such contribution account shall be forfeited and
used to reduce future Employer Matching Contributions.
4.3 Restoration of Employer Matching Contribution Accounts
A Participant who receives a distribution upon separation from service and
who forfeits all or a portion of his Employer Matching Contribution Account
shall have the balance in his Employer Matching Contribution Account
restored if:
(a) the Participant is rehired before incurring a period of severance
equal to or greater than five years, and
(b) the Participant repays to the Plan the amount of his distribution
from his Salary. Reduction Contribution Account, with 5% interest
compounded annually, within 12 months of reemployment.

selected by the Committee and Trustees, among the following types of
Investment Funds. The Committee and Trustees may add or eliminate
from time to time one or more investment funds. Such Funds shall be
referred to herein singularly as an "Investment Fund" and
collectively as "Investment Funds." Within each Investment Fund
separate records shall be kept with respect to amounts therein
allocated to the respective Accounts of the Participants, but all
assets of each Investment Fund may be, commingled for investment
purposes. Pending the selection and purchase of suitable investments
or reinvestment, or the payment of expenses or other anticipated
distributions, any portion of an Investment Fund may be retained in
cash without liability for payment of interest or may be invested in
short-term, interest-bearing securities, whether or not such
investment would otherwise be appropriate for the particular
Investment Fund.
(b) Direction of Investment; Separate Subsidiary Accounts: Any
individual having a balance to his credit in any of the Accounts
under the Plan is empowered, acting through the Committee, to direct
the Trustee as to the investment or reinvestment of such amounts
among the Investment Funds described in Section 5.2(a). The
Committee shall cause separate subsidiary accounts to be kept for
each individual for the accounts referred to in Section 5.1.
References herein to the "Fund
<PAGE>
-35-
Accounts" of a Participant shall mean all of the subsidiary accounts
with respect to the Investment Funds.
(c) Allocation to Investment Funds: The amount of any Salary Reduction
Contributions, Employer Matching Contributions, Nondeductible
Voluntary Contributions, Direct Transfer Contributions, and Rollover
Contributions (the "Contributions") allocated to the Plan with
respect to a Participant shall be credited to his appropriate Fund
Account in accordance with the following rules:
(i) By application in writing to the Committee at least ten days
prior to the 25th day of March, June, September or December
(prior to December 23, 1992) and the 23rd day of any month
on or after December 23, 1992, each Participant shall be
entitled to designate, in increments of ten percent (twenty-
five percent prior to December 31, 1992) the percentage of
Contributions made following the next preceding Adjustment
Date which shall be apportioned to each of his appropriate
Fund Accounts. In the event that amounts shall not be
transferrable to one of the Investment Funds as of any
Adjustment Date, amounts to be transferred to such
Investment Fund pursuant to a designation under this
paragraph (a) shall be held in the Short Term Savings Fund
until such amounts may be so transferred, at which time the
contributions and earnings with respect thereto, shall be so
transferred.
(ii) A designation made by the Participant under paragraph (i)
above shall remain in effect as of each succeeding
Adjustment Date, unless the Participant shall file a timely
election providing for a different designation with respect
to any Adjustment Date.
(iii) If for any reason a Participant shall not have made an
effective designation with respect to any Contribution
allocable to him as of any Adjustment Date such Contribution
shall be credited to his appropriate Fund Account and
invested in the Short Term Savings Fund.
(iv) Effective July 1, 1995, fund allocations may be designated
in one percent increments and may be made at any time.
<PAGE>
-36-
(d) Reallocation among Investment Funds: Each individual having an
amount credited to one or more Fund Accounts shall be entitled to
cause all or a portion of such amount to be transferred to another
appropriate Fund Account at the same time and in the same manner
specified in (c) above.
(e) Notification of Trustee: The Committee shall notify the Trustee of
all applications made in accordance with Sections 5.2(c) and 5.2(d)
as required by the Trustee.
5.3 Adjustments to Accounts
With respect to each individual with one or more Accounts under the Plan, the
amount in each of his separate Fund Accounts as of each Adjustment Date,
ascertained with respect to each under this Section 5.3 and herein called the
"basic credit" shall be adjusted as of each succeeding Adjustment Date by the
following credits and debits, in the order stated (references in this Section
5.3 to the "Investment Fund" shall mean the Investment Fund in which each such
Fund Account is invested):
(a) With respect to each separate Fund Account, there shall be debited
the total amount of any distributions from each such account since
the last preceding Adjustment Date to him or for his benefit. With
respect to an individual receiving a distribution from one or more
of his separate Fund Accounts, the portion of such distribution with
respect to each account allocated to each Investment Fund shall be
determined by multiplying the amount of such distribution with
respect to such account by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
amount of the portion of such account in the Investment Fund
following adjustment as of the next preceding Adjustment Date, and
the denominator of which is the total amount in such account
following adjustment as of such Adjustment Date.
(b) With respect to each separate Fund Account, there shall be credited
or debited that portion of the net income or net loss of the
Investment Fund since the next preceding Adjustment Date which his
basic credit as of such preceding Adjustment Date, further adjusted
as provided in Section 5.3(a), bears to the total of the basic
credits of all such individuals as of such preceding Adjustment Date
so adjusted. Such net income or net loss shall be ascertained by the
trustee and shall mean the profits and income actually realized and
received, less the losses and expenses
<PAGE>
-37-
actually incurred and paid, plus any net increase or minus any net
decrease in the fair market value of the assets of the Investment
Fund not actually realized and received or incurred and paid. In
ascertaining such value, the expense of liquidation shall not be
taken into account. "Basic credit as of the next preceding
Adjustment Date" shall be such credit after the adjustments under
this Section 5.3 shall have been made.
(c) With respect to each separate Fund Account, there shall be credited
that portion of the appropriate Contribution to be allotted to such
account as provided in Section 5.2.
5.4 Loan Accounts
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the portion of
any Account of a Participant evidenced by a note described in Section
3.8(e) shall be held in a special Loan Account in behalf of the
Participant. The Loan Account shall be a part of the specific Account of
the participant, and there shall be credited to the Loan Account any
payments of principal or interest made with respect to said note, which
payments shall be invested by the Trustee in the Short Term Savings Fund
pending the next preceding Adjustment Date. As of the close of business on
each Adjustment Date, any cash balances in the Loan Account shall be
debited to the Loan Account and shall be allocated to the Investment Fund
or Funds with respect to the Participant as specified in Section 3.8(a).

Section 6 - Administration by Committee
---------------------------------------
6.1 The Committee shall be responsible for the general administration and
interpretation of the Plan and for carrying out its provisions, except to
the extent all or any of such obligations are specifically imposed on the
Trustee or the Board. The Committee shall constitute the Plan
Administrator and the Chairman of the Committee shall be agent for service
of legal process on the Plan.
6.2 The members of the Committee shall elect a Chairman and may elect an
acting Chairman. They shall also elect a Secretary and may elect an acting
Secretary, either of whom may be but need not be a member of the
Committee. The Committee may appoint from its membership such
subcommittees with such powers as the Committee shall determine, and may
authorize one or more of its members or any agent to execute or deliver
any instruments or to make any payment in behalf of the Committee.
6.3 The Committee shall hold such meetings upon such notice, at such places
and at such intervals as it may from time to time determine. Notice of
meetings shall not be required if notice is waived in writing by all the
members of the Committee at the time in office, or if all such members are
present at the meeting.
6.4 A majority of the members of the Committee at the time in office shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. All resolutions or
other actions taken by the Committee at any meeting shall be by vote of a
majority of those present at any such meeting and entitled to vote.
Resolutions may be adopted or other action taken without a meeting upon
written consent thereto signed by all of the members of the Committee.
6.5 The Committee shall maintain full and complete records of its
deliberations and decisions. The minutes of its proceedings shall be
conclusive proof of the facts of the operation of the Plan. The records of
the Committee shall contain all relevant data pertaining to individual
Participants and their rights under the Plan and in the Trust Fund.
<PAGE>

6.6 Subject to the limitations of the Plan and of ERISA the Committee may from
time to time establish rules or by-laws for the administration of the Plan
and the transaction of its business.
6.7 No individual member of the Committee shall have any right to vote or
decide upon any matter relating solely to himself or to any of his rights
or benefits under the Plan (except that such member may sign unanimous
written consent to resolutions adopted or other action taken without a
meeting).
6.8 The Committee may correct errors and, so far as practicable, may adjust
any benefit or credit or payment accordingly. The Committee may in its
discretion waive any notice requirements in the Plan; provided that a
waiver of a requirement to notify the Trustee shall be made only with the
consent of the Trustee. A waiver of notice in one or more cases shall not
be deemed to constitute a waiver of notice in any other case. With respect
to any power or authority which the Committee has discretion to exercise
under the Plan, such discretion shall be exercised in a nondiscriminatory
manner.
6.9 Subject to the claims procedure set forth in Section 13, the Committee
shall have the duty and authority to interpret and construe the provisions
of the Plan and to decide any dispute which may arise regarding the rights
of Participants hereunder, which determinations shall apply uniformly to
all persons similarly situated and shall be binding and conclusive upon
all interested persons.
6.10 The Committee may engage an attorney, accountant or any other technical
advisor on matters regarding the operation of the Plan and to perform such
other duties as shall be required in connection therewith, and may employ
such clerical and related personnel as the Committee shall deem requisite
or desirable in carrying out the provisions of the Plan. The Committee
shall from time to time, but no less frequently than annually, review the
financial condition of the Plan and determine the financial and liquidity
needs of the Plan as
<PAGE>
-40-
required by ERISA. The Committee shall communicate such needs to the
Employer and to the Trustee so that the funding policy and investment
policy may be appropriately coordinated to meet such needs.
6.11 No fee or compensation shall be paid to any member of the Committee for
his service as such.
6.12 The Committee shall be entitled to reimbursement out of the Trust Fund for
its reasonable expenses properly and actually incurred in the performance
of its duties in the administration of the Plan; provided, that the BDM
International, Inc. may, in the discretion of the Board, pay such
expenses.
6.13 To the maximum extent permitted by ERISA, no member of the Committee shall
be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument
executed by him or on his behalf as a member of the Committee nor for any
mistake of judgment made in good faith, and BDM International, Inc. shall
indemnify and hold harmless, directly from its own assets (including the
proceeds of any insurance policy the premiums for which are paid from BDM
International, Inc. own assets), each member of the Committee and each
other officer, employee, or director of BDM International, Inc. to whom
any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the
Plan may be delegated or allocated, against any unreimbursed or uninsured
cost or expense (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the
prior written approval of the Board) arising out of any act or omission to
act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person's own
fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Section 7 - Management of Funds and Amendment of Plan
-----------------------------------------------------
7.1 All assets of the Plan shall be held in a Trust forming part of the Plan,
which shall be administered as a Trust Fund to provide for the payment to
the Participants or their successors in interest, out of the income and
principal of the Trust, of benefits as provided in the Plan. All
fiduciaries (as defined in ERISA) with respect to the Plan shall discharge
their duties as such solely in the interest of the Participants and their
successors in interest, and (1) for the exclusive purposes of providing
benefits to Participants and their successors in interest and defraying
reasonable expenses of administering the Plan, including the trust which
is a part of the Plan, (2) with the care, skill, prudence and diligence
under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a
like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of
an enterprise of like character and with like aims, and (3) in accordance
with the Plan and Trust Agreement, except to the extent such documents may
be inconsistent with the then applicable federal laws relating to
fiduciary, responsibility. The Trust Fund shall be used for the exclusive
benefit of the Participants and beneficiaries and to pay administrative
expenses of the Plan and Trust to the extent not paid by BDM
International, Inc., and no portion of the Trust Fund shall ever revert to
or inure to the benefit of the Employer (except as otherwise provided in
Sections 2 and 7.1(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7.1, the following special provisions shall apply:
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if the Employer
shall (i) make a contribution to the Plan by a mistake of fact, or
(ii) make a contribution to the Plan conditioned upon its
deductibility under Section 404 of the Code and such contribution
shall be determined to be nondeductible, or (iii) make a
contribution to the Plan conditional upon the initial qualification
of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and the qualified
status of the Plan with respect to the Plan Year for which such
contribution is made shall be denied, then in any such event such
contribution shall be returned to the Employer without interest or
other increment as soon as practicable, but in no event later than
one year after said mistaken payment or after it shall be finally
determined that the contribution is not deductible or after
<PAGE>
-42-
final determination of denial of qualified status of the Plan,
whichever shall be applicable. The amount to be so returned shall
reflect Trust net losses, if any, following said contribution, and
shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid a reduction of the
balance of the Salary Reduction Contribution Account of any
participant below what his balance would have been if such
contribution (to the extent made by mistake or determined to be
nondeductible or made with respect to a year for which the Plan is
disqualified) had not been made.
(b) The Board, acting in behalf of the Employer, shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to amend or terminate the Plan and
the Trust Agreement entered into under the Plan; provided, that no
such amendment which shall alter the duties, responsibilities or
liabilities of the Trustee shall be made unless the Trustee shall
consent thereto in writing. See Section 11 for provisions regarding
termination of the Plan. No amendment to the Plan shall decrease the
balance of the Accounts of a Participant as of the date of such
amendment or eliminate an optional form of distribution.
7.2 The Employer and the Trustee shall enter into an appropriate Trust
Agreement for the administration of the Trust under the Plan. Such
agreement shall contain such powers and reservations as to investment,
reinvestment. control and disbursement of the funds of the Trust, and such
other provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan and its
nature and purposes as shall be agreed upon and set forth therein. Said
agreement shall provide that the Board may remove the Trustee at any time
upon reasonable notice, that the Trustee may resign at any time upon
reasonable notice, and that upon such removal or resignation of the
Trustee, the Board may designate one or more successor Trustees.
7.3 All requests, directions, requisitions and instructions of the Committee
to the Trustee shall be in writing and signed by such person or persons as
shall be designated by the Committee.

fiduciaries, and a named fiduciary of the Plan shall be responsible and
liable only for its own acts or mission with respect to fiduciary duties
specifically allocated to it and designated as its responsibility.
<PAGE>

Section 9 - Benefits Not Assignable; Facility of Payments
---------------------------------------------------------
9.1 No portion of any benefit held or paid under the Plan with respect to any
Participant shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation,
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt
so to anticipate, alienage, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or
charge the same shall be void, nor shall any portion of such benefit be in
any manner payable to any assignee, receiver or any one Trustee, or be
liable for his debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts, or be
subject to any legal process to levy upon or attach; provided, that this
Section 9.1 shall not apply to the creation, assignment, or recognition of
a right to any benefit payable with respect to a Participant pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the
Code, or any domestic relations order entered before January 1, 1985.
9.2 If any individual entitled to receive a payment under the Plan shall be
physically, mentally or legally incapable of receiving or acknowledging
receipt of such payment, the Committee, upon the receipt of satisfactory
evidence of his incapacity and satisfactory evidence that another person
or institution is maintaining him and that no guardian or committee has
been appointed for him, may cause any payment otherwise payable to him to
be made to such person or institution so maintaining him. Payment to such
person or institution shall be in full satisfaction of all claims by or
through the Participant to the extent of the amount thereof.
<PAGE>
-46-
Section 10 - Beneficiary
------------------------
The Participant's Beneficiary shall be his surviving spouse, if any; provided,
that if he leaves no surviving spouse, or if he files a qualified election with
the Committee, the Participants Beneficiary (which may include more than one
person, natural or otherwise, and one or more secondary or contingent
beneficiaries) shall be the Beneficiary designated in the Beneficiary
designation form provided by the Committee. For purposes of this Section 10,
"qualified election" shall mean a written Beneficiary designation of the
Participant to which his surviving spouse files a written consent and
acknowledgment of the effect of such consent. Such consent and acknowledgement
shall be ineffective unless witnessed by a notary public. The consent of the
spouse shall not be required if it is established to the satisfaction of the
Committee that such consent cannot be obtained because there is no spouse or the
spouse cannot be located. The qualified election of a Participant may be revoked
at any time by action of the Participant, in which event the surviving spouse,
if any, shall be the Beneficiary. Any other change in Beneficiary shall be made
only by the filing of a revised qualified election. For this purpose, the
Participant's spouse or surviving spouse shall mean the legally married spouse
or surviving spouse of the Participant; provided, that a former spouse shall be
treated as the spouse or surviving spouse to the extent provided under a
qualified domestic relations order as described in Section 414(p) of the Code.
If the Participant's Beneficiary (other than his surviving spouse) dies prior to
asserting a written claim for any death benefit payable from the Trust under the
Plan, or if such participant fails to designate a Beneficiary (other than his
surviving spouse), then and in any of such events, such benefit shall be payable
to his estate. If a Beneficiary is receiving or is entitled to receive payments
from the Trust Fund and dies before receiving all of the payments due him, any
remaining payments shall be made to the contingent Beneficiary, if any, named
pursuant to a qualified election. If there is no contingent Beneficiary, the
balance shall be paid to the estate of the Beneficiary as of the adjustment date
coincident with or next following the date of his death. Any Beneficiary may
disclaim all or any part of any benefit to which such Beneficiary shall be
entitled hereunder by filing a written disclaimer with the Committee at least
ten days before payment of such benefit is to be made. Such
<PAGE>
-47-
a disclaimer shall be made in form satisfactory to the Committee, and shall be
irrevocable when filed. Any benefit disclaimed shall be payable from the Plan in
the same manner as if the Beneficiary who filed the disclaimer had died on the
date of such filing.

Section 11 - Termination of Plan and Trust;
Removal of Trust
Merger or Consolidation of Plan
------------------------------------
11.1 Complete Termination
In the event of termination of the Plan, all Employer contributions shall
cease and no additional Participants shall enter the Plan. The assets
under the Plan shall be held in the Plan for distribution in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3; provided, that the Committee may in its
discretion provide for a liquidation of the Trust and distributions to the
Participants of their Accounts in cash, in kind, in the form of
nontransferable annuity contracts, or in any combination thereof. To the
extent not otherwise vested, all Participants shall become 100% vested in
their accounts.
11.2 Partial Termination
In the event of a partial termination of the Plan, the provisions of
Section 11.1 regarding a complete termination shall apply in determining
interests and rights of the Participants and their Beneficiaries with
respect to whom the partial termination shall occur, and shall apply to
the portion of the Trust Fund allocable to such Participants and
Beneficiaries.
11.3 Merger and Consolidation
In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with any other
Plan, or a transfer of assets or liabilities of the Plan to any other
Plan (which merged, consolidated or transferee Plan shall be referred to
in this Section 11.3 as the "successor Plan"), the amount which each
Participant would receive if the successor Plan (and this Plan, if he
has any interest remaining therein) were terminated immediately after
the merger, consolidation or transfer shall be equal to or greater than
the amount he would have received if this Plan (and the successor plan,
if he had any interest therein immediately prior to the merger,
consolidation or transfer) had been terminated immediately preceding the
merger, consolidation or transfer.
<PAGE>
-49-
Section 12 - Communication to Participants
------------------------------------------
In accordance with the requirements of ERISA, the Employer shall communicate the
principal terms of the Plan to the Participants. The Employer shall make

Section 13 - Claims Procedure
-----------------------------
The following claims procedure shall apply with respect to the Plan:

If a Participant or Beneficiary (the "claimant") believes that he is
entitled to benefits under the Plan which are not being paid to him or
which are not being accrued for his benefit, he shall file a written claim
with the Committee. In the event that a member of the Committee shall be a
claimant, he shall not be entitled to act as such with respect to his
claim.
13.2 Notification to Claimant of Decision
Within 90 days after receipt of a claim by the Committee (or within 180
days if special circumstances require an extension of time), the Committee
shall notify the claimant of his decision with regard to the claim. In the
event of such special circumstances requiring an extension of time, there
shall be furnished to the claimant prior to expiration of the initial 90-
day period written notice of the extension, which notice shall set forth
the special circumstances and the date by which the decision shall be
furnished. If such claim shall be wholly or partially denied, notice
thereof shall be in writing and worded in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant, and shall set forth:
(a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;
(b) specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the
denial is based;
(c) a description of any additional material or information necessary
for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary; and
(d) an explanation of the procedure for review of the denial.
If the Committee fails to notify the claimant of the decision in a timely
manner, the claim shall be deemed denied as of the close of the initial
90-day period (or the close of the extension period, if applicable).
<PAGE>
-51-
13.3 Procedure for Review
Within 60 days following receipt by the claimant of notice denying his
claim, in whole or in part, or, if such notice shall not be given, within
60 days following the latest date on which such notice could have been
timely given, the claimant shall appeal denial of the claim by filing a
written application for review with the Board. Following such request for
review, the Board shall fully and fairly review the decision denying the
claim. Prior to the decision of the Board, the claimant shall be given an
opportunity to review pertinent documents and to submit issues and
comments in writing.
13.4 Decision on Review
The decision on review of a claim denied in whole or in part by the
Committee shall be made in the following manner:
(a) Within 60 days following receipt by the Board of the request for
review (or within 120 days if special circumstances require an
extension of time), the Board shall notify the claimant in writing
of its decision with regard to the claim. In the event of such
special circumstances requiring an extension of time, written notice
of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the
commencement of the extension. If the decision on review is not
furnished in a timely manner, the claim shall be deemed denied as of
the close of the initial 60-day period (or the close of the
extension period, if applicable).
(b) With respect to a claim that is denied in whole or in part, the
decision on review shall set forth specific reasons for the
decision, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood
by the claimant, and shall cite specific references to the pertinent
Plan provisions on which the decision is based.
(c) The decision of the Board shall be final and conclusive.

13.5 Action by Authorized Representative of Claimant
All actions set forth in this Section 13 to be taken by the claimant may
likewise be taken by a representative of the claimant duly authorized by
him to act in his behalf on such matters. The Committee and the Board may
require such evidence as either may reasonably deem necessary or advisable
of the authority to act of any such representative.
<PAGE>

Section 14 - Parties to the Plan
--------------------------------
As of the Effective Date of the Plan, each of the following named corporations
in addition to BDM International, Inc. is a party to the Plan and Trust
Agreement:
BDM Federal, Inc.
BDM Management Services Company
BDM Services Company
ZAPEX Corporation
Any other corporation which desires to do so (and which is an entity described

to that effect is made among such corporation, BDM International, Inc. and the
Trustee. As used in the Plan and in the Trust Agreement, except as otherwise
specifically set forth herein, the term "Employer" shall mean collectively all
such parties to the Plan. The Plan and Trust Agreement shall be applied as a
single plan and trust agreement with respect to all parties in all respects as
if there were only one employer-party, and Service for purposes of the Plan
shall be interchangeable among employer-parties to the Plan and shall not be
deemed to be interrupted by the transfer at any time of any Employee from the
Service or one employer-party to the service of another employer-party.

party, or to delegate such power.

Section 15 - Special Top-Heavy Provisions
------------------------------------------
The following special provisions shall apply with respect to any Plan Year in
which the Plan is determined to be top-heavy (as described in Section 15.2):
15.1 Definitions
The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 15
unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context.
(a) "Aggregate account" means, with respect to each Participant, the
balance in his Accounts as of the Valuation Date (defined in Section
15.1(l) corresponding to the Determination Date (defined in Section
15.1(e), following adjustment of such accounts as provided in
Section 5, subject to the following special provisions:
(i) An adjustment shall be made for any contributions due as of
the Determination Date. Such adjustment shall be the amount
of any contributions made after the Valuation Date but on or
before the Determination Date, except for the first Plan
Year when such adjustment shall also reflect the amount of
any contribution made after the Determination Date that are
allocated as of a date in that first Plan Year.
(ii) The amount of any distributions made from the Plan to the
Participant within the Plan Year that includes the
Determination Date or within the four preceding Plan Years
shall be included for purposes of determining the
Participant's Aggregate Account, except to the extent such
distributions are already included in the Participant's
Aggregate Account. The aggregate amount of distributions
made during the five-year period ending on the Determination
Date with respect to a Participant in a terminated plan
which, if it had not been terminated, would have been
required to be included in an Aggregation Group will be
included in accordance with the provisions of Section
416(g)(3) of the Code for purposes of determining the
Participant's Aggregate Account. Further, distribution from
the Plan (including the cash value of life insurance
policies) of a Participant's Account Balance because
<PAGE>
-55-
of death shall be treated as a distribution for purposes of
this subparagraph (ii). See Section 15.1(i).
(iii) Transfers in the form of rollovers or direct plan-to-plan
transfers (herein "transfers") initiated by the Participant
and made from this Plan to a plan maintained by an unrelated
employer ("unrelated transfers") shall be deemed to be
distributions from this Plan for purposes of determining a
Participants Aggregate Account. Unrelated transfers to this
Plan shall not be considered part of the Participants
Aggregate Account. Transfers which either are not initiated
by the Participant or are made to another plan maintained by
the Employer or a related employer ("related transfers")
shall not be considered distributions for the purpose of
determining a Participant's Aggregate Account. Related
transfers to this Plan shall be considered part of the
Participants Aggregate Account, irrespective of the date on
which such related transfer occurs. For purposes of this
subparagraph (iii), all Related Employers shall be
considered a single employer.
(iv) Amounts attributable to Employer contributions and amounts
attributable to employee contributions, whether voluntary or
mandatory, shall be included in determining a Participant's
Aggregate Account, provided that amounts attributable to
deductible employee contributions shall be excluded from a
Participant's Aggregate Account.
(v) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (i), the value
of a Participant's Aggregate Account as of any Determination
Date shall be determined in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5 as of the Valuation Date which corresponds to
such Determination Date.
(vi) If this Plan shall be included in an Aggregation Group,
"Aggregate Account" shall mean the sum of the balances in
the Participant's accounts under all defined contribution
plans included in such Aggregation Group determined as of
the most recent Valuation Date within a twelve-month period
ending on the Determination Date.
<PAGE>
-56-
(b) "Aggregation Group" means either a Required Aggregation Group or a
Permissive Aggregation Group as determined in this Section 15.1(b).
(i) Required Aggregation Group: The Required Aggregation Group
comprises all qualified plans (treating for this purpose any
simplified employee pension Plan as a qualified defined
contribution plan) of the Employer and Related Employers
which include a Key Employee as a Participant, and all other
qualified Plans of the Employer and Related Employers which
enable any qualified Plan which includes a Key Employee to
meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the
Code. Each Plan in a required Aggregation Group will be
considered top-heavy if such group is a Top-Heavy Group. No
Plan in a required Aggregation Group will be considered top-
heavy if such group is not a Top-Heavy Group.
(ii) Permissive Aggregation Group: The Permissive Aggregation
Group comprises the required Aggregation Group plus any
other qualified Plan or Plans (treating for this purpose any
simplified employee pension Plan as a qualified defined
contribution plan) maintained by the Employer or a Related
Employer which are not required to be included in a Required
Aggregation Group and which, when considered together with
the Required Aggregation Group, would continue to satisfy
the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.
The Employer shall determine which Plan or Plans shall be
taken into account in determining the Permissive Aggregation
Group. In the case of a Permissive Aggregation Group which
is a Top-Heavy Group, only a Plan that is part of the
required Aggregation Group will be considered top-heavy. No
Plan in the Permissive Aggregation Group will be considered
top-heavy if the Permissive Aggregation Group is not a Top-
Heavy Group.
(iii) Special Rules: Only those Plans of the Employer and Related
Employers in which the Determination Dates fall within the
same calendar year shall be aggregated in order to determine
whether such Plans are top-heavy plans. An Aggregation Group
shall include any terminated plan of the Employer
<PAGE>
-57-
and Related Employers if it was maintained within the last
five years ending on the Determination Date.
(c) "Compensation" for purposes of this Section 15 shall be as
defined in Section 2.3(d).
(d) "Cumulative Accrued Benefit" means the present value of a
Participant's Accrued Benefit under a defined benefit pension
plan (for an unaggregated plan) or the sum of the present values
of a Participant's Accrued Benefits under all defined benefit
plans included in an Aggregation Group (for aggregated plans).
The Cumulative Accrued Benefit with respect to a Participant
shall be determined with reference to the actuarial assumptions
for the Plan as of the most recent Valuation Date (which must
occur within the twelve-month period ending on the Determination
Date), and as if the Participant voluntarily terminated service
as of such Valuation Date. The Valuation Date must be the same
Valuation Date used for computing Plan costs for minimum funding
purposes, regardless of whether a valuation is performed that
year.
(e) "Determination Date" with respect to a Plan Year means (i) the
last day of the preceding Plan Year, or (ii) in the case of the
first Plan Year, the last day of such Plan Year.
(f) "Key Employee" means any Employee or former Employee (or the
Beneficiary of any such deceased employee) who, at any time
during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date or any
of the preceding four Plan Years, is:
(i) An officer (within the meaning of Section 416 of the Code)
of the Employer or a Related Employer having annual
Compensation for the Plan Year greater than 150% of the
amount in effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code for
the calendar year in which such Plan Year ends. For this
purpose the number of officers cannot exceed the lesser of
(A) or (B), where (A) is the greater of three Employees or
10% of all Employees and (B) is fifty Employees;
(ii) One of the ten Employees of the Employer or a Related
Employer having annual Compensation for the Plan Year
greater than the dollar limitation in
<PAGE>
-58-
effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code for the
calendar year in which such Plan year ends, and owning (or
considered as owning within the meaning of Section 318 of
the Code) during the Plan Year containing the Determination
Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years both more than
one-half percent interest and the largest interests in all
employers (including the Employer) required to be aggregated
under Sections 414(b), (c) and (m) of the Code (if two
Employees have the same interest, the one with the greater
compensation shall be treated as owning the larger interest);
(iii) Any person who owns (or is considered as owning within the
meaning or Section 318 of the Code) more than five percent
of the outstanding stock or the Employer or a Related
Employer or stock possessing more than five percent of the
total combined voting power of alls stock of the Employer or
Related Employer or in the case of an unincorporated
business, any person who owns more than five percent of the
capital or profits interest in such employer (in determining
percentage ownership under this subparagraph (iii), any
employers (including the Employer) that would otherwise be
aggregated under Section 414(b), (c) and (m) of the Code
shall be treated as separate employers); or
(iv) Any person having annual Compensation from the Employer or a
Related Employer for the Plan Year of more than $150,000 and
who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of
Section 318 of the Code) more than one percent of the
outstanding stock of the Employer or a Related Employer or
stock possessing more than one percent of the total combined
voting power of all such stock, or in the case of an
unincorporated business, any person who owns more than one
percent of the capital or profits interest in such employer.
In determining percentage ownership under this subparagraph
(iv), employers (including the Employer) that would
otherwise be aggregated under Section 414(B), (c) and (m)
of the Code shall be treated as separate employers.
<PAGE>

In determining the amount of a person's Compensation for
purposes of subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii), compensation
from the Employer and all Related Employers (including all
employers required to be aggregated under Section 414(b),
(c) and (m) of the Code) shall be taken into account on an
aggregate basis. For purposes of this Section 15.1(f),
Section 318(a)(2)(C) of the Code shall be applied by
substituting five percent for fifty percent.
(g) "Non-Key Employee" means any Employee or former Employee
(including the Beneficiary of a deceased Non-Key Employee) who is
not a Key Employee.
(h) "Related Employer" means any corporation which is a member of a
controlled group of corporations (within the meaning of Section
414(b) of the Code) which includes the Employer or any trades or
businesses (whether or not incorporated) which are under common
control (within the meaning of Section 414(c) of the Code) with
the Employer, or a member of an affiliated service group (within
the meaning of Section 414(m) or the Code) which includes the
Employer.
(i) "Top-Heavy Group" means an Aggregation Group in which, as of the
Determination Date, the sum of (i) the Cumulative Accrued
Benefits of Key Employees under all defined benefit pension plans
included in the group, and (ii) the Aggregate Accounts of Key
Employees under all defined contribution plans included in the
group, exceeds sixty percent of a similar sum determined for all
Participants, excluding former Key Employees. A Top-Heavy Group
will be a "Super Top-Heavy Group" if the group would be top-heavy
if ninety percent were substituted for sixty percent in the
preceding sentence. The Cumulative Accrued Benefits and the
Aggregate Accounts of Participants in qualified Plans which are
part of an Aggregation Group shall be increased by the aggregate
distributions during the five-year period ending on the
Determination Date with respect to Participants under a
terminated Plan which, if it had not been terminated, would have
been required to be included in the Aggregation Group. In
determining whether the Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group,
the Cumulative Accrued Benefits and Aggregate Accounts of Key
Employees and Non-Key Employees shall be determined separately
for each Plan as of the individual Plan's Determination
<PAGE>
-60-
Date. The results for each Plan as of the Determination Dates
that fall within the same calendar year are then totaled to
determine whether the Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group. The
Aggregate Account and the Cumulative Accrued Benefit of a Participant
or former Participant who has not performed any service for the
Employer at any time during the five-year period ending on the
Determination Date shall be disregarded.
(j) "Top-Heavy Plan Year" means a Plan Year in which the Plan is
Top-Heavy.
(k) "Unrelated Employer" means any corporation which is not a Related
Employer with respect to the Employer.
(l) "Valuation Date" means, with respect to this Plan, the year-end
Adjustment Date described in Section 1.4.
15.2 Determination of Top-Heavy Status
The Plan shall be top-heavy for any Plan Year if, as of the Determination
Date (a) the sum of the Aggregate Accounts of Key Employees under the Plan
exceeds sixty percent of the Aggregate Accounts of all Participants under
the Plan (the "60% test"), as determined in accordance with the provisions
of Section 416(g) of the Code; or (b) the Plan is part of a Required
Aggregation Group and the Required Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group.
The Plan shall be "super top-heavy" for any Plan Year if, as of the
Determination Date, the Plan would meet the 60% test if ninety percent
(the "90% test") were substituted for sixty percent in the 60% test or the
Plan is part of a Required Aggregation Group and the Required Aggregation
Group is a Super Top-Heavy Group. Notwithstanding the results of the 60%
test or the 90% test, the Plan shall not be considered top-heavy or super
top-heavy for any Plan Year in which the Plan is part of a Required or
Permissive Aggregation Group which is not a Top-Heavy Group or Super
Top-Heavy Group. If any Participant is a Non-Key employee for any Plan
Year, but such Participant was a Key employee for any prior Plan Year, such
Participant's Aggregate Account balance shall not be taken into account for
purposes of determining whether the Plan is top-heavy or super top-heavy
(or whether any Aggregation Group which includes this Plan is a Top-Heavy
Group or a Super Top-Heavy Group). In addition, if a Participant or former
Participant has not performed any Service for the Employer or any Related
Employer maintaining the Plan (other than benefits under the
<PAGE>
-61-
Plan) at any time during the five year period ending on the
Determination Date, the Aggregate Account for such Participant or
former Participant shall not be taken into account for purposes of
determining whether this Plan is top-heavy.
15.3 Top-Heavy Requirements
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall meet the
following requirements for any top-heavy Plan Year.
(a) Minimum vesting requirements. A Participant shall be vested in
his Salary Reduction Contribution Account, his Employer Matching
Contribution Account, his Nondeductible Contribution Account, his
Rollover Account and his Direct Transfer Account as provided in
Section 4.
(b) Minimum allocations required for Top-Heavy Plan Years. For any
Top-Heavy Plan Year, the Employer's Salary Reduction Contribution
allocated to the Salary Reduction Contribution Account of each
Non-Key employee shall be at least equal to the lesser of the
following percentages: (i) three percent of such Non-Key
employee's Compensation, or (ii) the percentage of such Non-Key
Employee's Compensation equal to the largest percentage which the
allocation of the Employer Salary Reduction Contribution to the
Salary Reduction Contribution Account of any Key employee bears
to such Key Employee's Compensation; provided, that (ii) above
shall not apply if the Plan is required to be included in an
Aggregation Group and the Plan enables a defined benefit pension
plan required to be included in the Aggregation Group to meet the
requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code. The
amount allocated to each Non-Key employee pursuant to this
Section 15.3(b) shall be referred to as the "minimum allocation".
The following special rules shall apply for purposes of this
Section 15.3(b):
(i) For purposes of determining the percentage in (ii) above,
the following special provisions shall apply:
(A) all defined contribution plans required to be included
in an Aggregation Group shall be treated as one plan; and
<PAGE>
-62-
(B) the calculation of the percentage at which
contributions are allocated to the Salary Reduction
Contribution Account of a Key employee shall be based
only on his Compensation not in excess of the
401(a)(17) limit in effect for the calendar year in
which the Plan Year begins.
(ii) If a Key Employee is a Participant in both a defined
contribution plan and a defined benefit pension plan that
are both part of a Top-Heavy Group (but neither of such
plans is super top-heavy), the defined contribution and the
defined benefit fractions set forth in Section 2.3 of the
Plan shall remain unchanged, provided the Salary Reduction
Contribution Account of each Non-Key employee who is a
Participant receives an extra allocation (in addition to the
minimum allocation set forth in this Section 15.3(b)) equal
to not less than one percent of such Non-Key Employees'
compensation.
(iii) For purposes of this Section 15.3(b), any Employer
contributions or benefits under the Federal Social Security
Act shall not be taken into account.
(iv) The minimum allocations set forth in this Section 15.3(b)
shall be allocated to the Salary Reduction Contribution
Accounts of all Non-Key Employees who are Participants and
who are in Service on the last day of the applicable Top-
Heavy Plan Year.
(v) If a Non-Key employee is a Participant in both this Plan and
a defined benefit pension plan, and both such plans are top-
heavy with respect to a Plan Year, the Employer shall not be
required to provide a Non-Key Employee with both the minimum
benefit under the defined benefit plan and the minimum
contribution under this Plan. If the Non-Key Employees who
are participating in a defined benefit pension plan
maintained by the Employer or a Related Employer are
accruing under such plan and the minimum benefits provided
under Section 416(c)(1) of the Code, the Employer need not
make the minimum allocation described in this Section
15.3(b) on behalf of the Non-Key Employees. If a Non-Key
Employee is a Participant in both this Plan and another
defined contribution plan
<PAGE>
-63-
maintained by the Employer and both such plans are included
in a Required Aggregation Group with respect to a Plan Year,
the Employer shall not be required to provide a Non-Key
Employee with both the minimum contribution under this Plan
and the minimum contribution under the other Defined
Contribution Plan. If the minimum contribution is being
provided to the Non-Key Employee under the other defined
contribution plan, the Employer need not make the minimum
allocation described in this Section 15.3(b) on behalf of
the Non-Key Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the Employer make a minimum allocation under
this Plan with respect to a Non-Key Employee who is a
Participant in another defined contribution plan which is
subject to Section 412 of the Code and is included with
this Plan in a Required Aggregation Group. Alternatively,
the Employer may satisfy the minimum benefit requirement of
Section 416(c)(1) of the Code for a Non-Key Employee by
providing any combination of benefits or contributions that
satisfy the safe harbor rules of the applicable Treasury
Regulations.
(vi) The Committee may, in its discretion, separately account for
that portion of each Participant's Salary Reduction
Contribution Account attributable to Top-Heavy Plan Years
and Non-Top-Heavy Plan Years.
(vii) The minimum allocations made pursuant to this Section
15.3(b) (to the extent required to be nonforfeitable under
Section 15.3(a)) shall not be forfeitable under Section 411
(a)(3)(B) of the Code (relating to suspension of benefits
upon reemployment) or Section 411(a)(3)(d) of the Code
(relating to withdrawal of mandatory contributions).
(c) Maximum Compensation Limitation. For any Top-Heavy Plan Year,
Compensation in excess of the 401(a)(17) limit for the calendar year
in which the Plan Year begins shall be disregarded for purposes of
Section 15.3(b).
(d) Impact on special allocation limitations of Section 2.3. For any Plan
Year in which the Plan is super top-heavy, 1.0 shall be substituted
for 1.25 in Section 2.3(c) of the Plan. If the application of this
Section 15.4(d) with respect to a Super Top-Heavy
<PAGE>
-64-
Plan would cause any Participant to exceed the combined
limitations on contributions and benefits described in Section
415 of the Code, the application of this Section 15.3(d) shall be
suspended as to such individual until such time as he no longer
exceeds the combined limitations of Section 415 of the Code as
modified by this Section 15.3(d). During the period of such
suspension, there shall be no contributions, forfeitures or
Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions allocated under this Plan
or any other defined contribution plan of a Related Employer and
there shall be no accruals for such individual under any defined
benefit plan of the Employer or Related Employer. If the Plan is
top-heavy but not super top-heavy for any Plan Year, the
substitutions referred to above with respect to a Super Top-
Heavy Plan shall be made only if the Employer makes the extra
minimum allocation described in Section 15.3(b)(ii). In no event
shall such substitution reduce any benefit accrued under a
defined benefit pension plan prior to the first day of the Plan
Year in which the top-heavy rules became effective.
(e) Construction. The provisions of this Section 15 shall apply with
respect to any Top-Heavy Plan Year notwithstanding any
conflicting provisions elsewhere in the Plan; provided, that the
provisions of this Section shall be applied in a manner to give
effect to the intent and purpose of Section 401(k) of the Code to
the extent applicable to this Plan.
<PAGE>
-65-
SECTION 16 - PORTABILITY OF PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
-------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, upon the request of the
Participant, the Trustee shall transfer the amount allocated to the credit
of a Participant in the Trust to the Trustee of any other exempt trust
which forms part of a tax-qualified retirement plan under Section 401 of the
Code or effective January 1, 1993 an individual retirement account or annuity.
<PAGE>
-66-
SECTION 17 - SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFERS FROM QUALIFIED PLANS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon the written direction of the Committee, the Trustee shall receive and
hold, as a part of the Trust Fund, assets (hereinafter referred to as the
"transferred assets," which shall be deemed to include all increments
allocable to such transferred assets) transferred in cash or in kind
directly from the trustee or custodian of any other retirement plan
(hereinafter referred to as the "transferor plan") which is qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code. In applying the provisions of this Section 17,
the following special provisions shall apply:
17.1 The transferred assets shall at all times be fully vested in the
respective Participants (and in the proportions) to which such
transferred assets had been allocated under the transferor plan
immediately preceding the transfer.
17.2 The Trustee under this Plan, as such, shall not be liable or
responsible for any acts or omissions in the administration of any
transferor plan and the trust thereunder of any other person or
entity who was trustee, custodian or other fiduciary under any such
transferor plan, and the Trustee under this Plan shall be held
harmless from such liability or responsibility.
17.3 The Trustee shall keep a separate Direct Transfer Account with respect
to the transferred assets of each Participant which may be commingled
for investment purposes with other assets of the Trust.
17.4 All transferred assets shall be administered by the Trustee in the
same manner as other assets of the Trust are administered.
17.5 To the extent not inconsistent with the provision of this Section 17,
the Committee may promulgate rules or bylaws supplementing and
implementing the provisions of this Section 17.
<PAGE>
-67-
17.6 Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 17 to the contrary, the
Committee shall not permit, nor shall the Trustee accept, the transfer
to this Plan of transferred assets from a transferor plan which is
subject to the requirements of Section 401(a)(11) of the Code at the
time of the transfer.
<PAGE>
-68-
SECTION 18 - ROLLOVERS
----------------------
An Employee who receives a distribution of his entire interest from another
retirement plan (including another plan maintained by the Employer) which
is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code on the date of such
distribution may, with the written consent of the Committee and in
accordance with procedures approved by the Committee, transfer all or a
part of such distribution to the Trustee under this Plan. In applying the
provisions of this Section 18, the following special provisions shall
apply:
18.1 The transfer to the Trustee must occur on or before the 60th day
following the receipt by the Employee of such distribution or, if
such distribution has previously been deposited in an Individual
Retirement Account or Individual Retirement Annuity (as defined in
Section 408 of the Code), the transfer must occur on or before the
60th day following the receipt by the Employee of the balance to his
credit under such Individual Retirement Account or Individual
Retirement Annuity.
18.2 The distribution made to the Employee must be a qualified total
distribution within the meaning of Section 402(a)(5)(E)(i) of the
Code.
18.3 The amount transferred to the Trustee is limited to the maximum
rollover amount as provided in Section 402(a)(5)(B) of the Code.
18.4 The amount transferred to the Trustee shall be credited to a separate
Rollover Account with respect to the Employee.
18.5 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 18, the assets in the
Rollover Account shall be administered by the Trustee in the same
manner as other Trust assets. Assets of the Rollover Account may be
comingled for investment with other assets of the Trust Fund.
<PAGE>
-69-
18.6 Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 18 to the contrary, the
Committee shall not permit, nor shall the Trustee accept, the transfer
to this plan by an Employee of all or part of any distribution
received by such Employee from another qualified retirement plan if
any part of such distribution is attributable to contributions made
on behalf of the Employee while a key employee (within the meaning of
Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) in a top-heavy plan (within the
meaning of Section 416(g) of the Code).
<PAGE>
-70-
SECTION 19 - SPECIAL TRANSFER FROM RETIREMENT PLAN
--------------------------------------------------
BDM Federal, Inc., which is a party to the Plan, is the sponsor of The BDM
Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"). The Retirement Plan permits an
Employee to make voluntary nondeductible contributions which are maintained
in a separate account for his benefit under the Retirement Plan (the
"Retirement Plan Account"). As of the Effective Date of the Plan, the
Retirement Plan Account of a Participant under the Retirement Plan shall be
transferred to the Trust and allocated to his Nondeductible Contribution
Account as provided in Section 2.4. Such transfer shall be treated for
purposes of the Plan as a Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution of the
Participant.
<PAGE>
-71-
SECTION 20 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
-------------------------------------
20.1 Notices
Each Participant who is not in Service and each Beneficiary shall be
responsible for furnishing the Plan Administrator with his current
address for the mailing of notices, reports, and benefit payments. Any
notice required or permitted to be given to such Participant or
Beneficiary shall be deemed given if directed to such address and
mailed by regular United States mail, first class, postage prepaid.
If any check mailed to such address is returned as undeliverable to
the addressee, mailing of checks will be suspended until the
Participant or Beneficiary furnishes the proper address. This
provision shall not be construed as requiring the mailing of any
notice or notification otherwise permitted to be given by posting or
by other publication.
20.2 Lost Distributees
A benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Plan Administrator is
unable after a reasonable period of time, as determined by the
Committee, to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom payment
is due; provided, however, that such benefit shall be reinstated if a
valid claim is made by or on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary
for the forfeited benefit.
20.3 Reliance on Data
The Employer, the Trustee, and the Plan Administrator shall have the
right to rely on any data provided by the Participant or by any
Beneficiary, including representations as to age, health, and marital
status. Such representations shall be binding upon any party seeking
to claim a benefit through a Participant, and the Employer, the
Trustee, and the Plan Administrator shall have no obligation to
inquire into the accuracy of any representation made at any time by a
Participant or Beneficiary.
20.4 Bonding
Unless exempted by ERISA, every fiduciary shall be bonded for each
Plan Year in accordance with the requirements of ERISA. The bond
shall provide protection to the Plan
<PAGE>
-72-
against any loss by reason of acts of fraud or dishonesty by the
fiduciary alone or in connivance with others. The cost of the bond
shall be an expense of the Trust and shall be paid from the Trust Fund
unless the Board shall elect for such cost to be paid by the BDM
International, Inc.
20.5 Receipt and Release for Payments
Any payment made from the Plan to or with respect to any Participant
or Beneficiary, or pursuant to a disclaimer by a Beneficiary, shall,
to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims
hereunder against the Plan, the Employer and all fiduciaries with
respect to the Plan. The recipient of any payment from the Plan may
be required by the Committee, as a condition precedent to such
payment, to execute a receipt and release with respect thereto in
such form as shall be acceptable to the Committee.
20.6 Headings
The headings and subheadings of the Plan have been inserted for
convenience of reference and are to be ignored in any construction of
the provisions thereof.
20.7 Continuation of Employment
The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any
legal or other rights upon any employee or any persons for
continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the right of
the Employer to discharge any Employee or to deal with him without
regard to the effect thereof under the Plan.
20.8 Construction
The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and enforced according
to the laws of the State of Virginia, except to the extent such laws
shall be superseded by the provisions of ERISA.

BDM
RETIREMENT PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective December 26, 1989)
The predecessor corporation of BDM Federal, Inc. established the BDM Retirement
Plan for the benefit of its employees effective July 1, 1972. The Plan has been
amended from time to time and is now being amended and restated in its entirety
effective December 26, 1989, except where other effective dates are provided.
Except as provided in Sections 11.5 and 11.6, the rights of persons who retired
or otherwise terminated employment prior to December 26, 1989 will be governed
by the terms of the Plan as in effect on their date of retirement or
termination; provided, however, that each retirement benefit which commenced on
or prior to January 1, 1988 and which is being paid under the Plan as of
January 1, 1988, shall be increased effective January 1, 1988 by 3% multiplied
by the number of full years which have elapsed from the commencement date of the
retirement benefit payment to January 1, 1988.

The reduced benefit payable on and after the date Social Security
Benefits are assumed to commence shall be equal to the increased
benefit payable
<PAGE>

and the financial effects of electing any, optional form of retirement
benefit described in b. above.

the Member's spouse, which consent acknowledges the effect of such
election and is witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public,
provided that such election shall be deemed effective without such
spousal consent if the Member evidences to the Committee that there is
no spouse or the spouse cannot reasonably be located); shall be made
on a form prescribed by the
<PAGE>
Committee; and may be made within the 90-day period ending on the date
the Member's retirement benefits are scheduled to commence.
e. Death of a Member's Beneficiary before the Member's Actual Retirement
Date shall automatically revoke election of a joint and survivor
benefit under b.(ii) above. An election made in accordance with d.
above may be revoked at any time during the applicable election period
on a form prescribed by the Committee, and such revocation will become
effective when the form is completed and filed with the Committee.
Consent of the Members Beneficiary shall not be required for a valid
revocation, unless the Beneficiary is the Members spouse. If an
election is revoked, either automatically or by filing the prescribed
form, a new election may be made at any time during the applicable
election period in accordance with d. above. An election made in
accordance with d. above will be automatically revoked upon the
Member's marriage or remarriage prior to the Members Actual Retirement
Date.
6.5 - Direct Rollovers.
- ----------------------
a. Effective January 1, 1993, a recipient of an eligible rollover
distribution may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by
the Plan, to have any portion of the distribution paid directly to an
eligible retirement plan specified by the recipient in a direct
rollover.
b. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution described in
Section 402(c)(4) of the Code of at least $200.
c. An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account
described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement
annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan
described in Section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified
<PAGE>
-25-
trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the
recipient's eligible rollover distribution. However, in the case of an
eligible rollover distribution to a surviving spouse, an eligible
retirement plan is only an individual retirement account or individual
retirement annuity.
d. A recipient includes a Member, a Member's surviving spouse, or former
spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations
order, as described in Section 414(p) of the Code.
e. A direct rollover is a payment by this Plan to the eligible retirement
plan specified by the recipient.

b. The Trustee shall exercise control and management of the Fund in
accordance with an agreement between the Trustee and the Company. To
the extent control and management of such Fund is not limited or
reserved to another fiduciary of the Plan by the terms of said
agreement, the Trustee shall have the sole and exclusive
responsibility therefor.
c. The Board of Directors shall choose the Trustee and shall consider and
respond in a timely fashion to recommendations of the Committee with

respect of control and management of the Fund assets:
(i) In accordance with the agreement between the Trustee and the
Company, designate the manner in which amounts contributed by
the Company under the Plan shall be allocated to the investment
managers selected by the Committee and direct transfers from one
investment manager to another.
(ii) At reasonable intervals, not less than annually, review
generally the performance of the Trustee and investment managers
with respect to control
<PAGE>
-27-
and management of assets of the Fund and determine whether there
is any reason why the Trustee or any investment manager should
not continue to be used as a funding mechanism under the Plan.
(iii) Where, in the judgment of the Committee, after exercising the
care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances
then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and
familiar with such matters would use in the same circumstances,
the performance of the Trustee or an investment manager does not
meet the standards of review set forth in d.(ii) above, make
such recommendation to the Board of Directors as seems
appropriate to the Committee under the circumstances.
Except as set forth in this paragraph d., the Committee shall have no
fiduciary duty with respect to control or management of the assets of
the Fund.
e. The specific duties of the named fiduciaries identified above shall be
the several and not the joint responsibility of each according to the
terms hereof, and no such named fiduciary shall be liable for the act
or omission of any other fiduciary, or for the breach of any duty not
his specific responsibility, unless either (i) by his failure to
administer properly his specific responsibility he has enabled such
other person to commit a breach of fiduciary obligation, (ii) he
knowingly participates in, or knowingly undertakes to conceal, an act
or omission of another person, knowing such act or omission to be a
breach, or (iii) having knowledge of the breach of another, he fails

the Company's contributions for any Plan Year beginning after December
31, 1975 shall in no event be less than the debit balance, if any, at
the end of such year in the Funding Standard Account created pursuant
to c. below. All fees and other expenses with respect to
administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company to the extent
not paid out of the Fund assets.
b. Any forfeiture arising from a Member's termination of employment or
death or for any other reason prior to the termination of the Plan
will be used to reduce any Company contribution required pursuant to
a. above and will not increase any benefits otherwise payable
hereunder.
c. For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1975, there shall be
established a Funding Standard Account for the Plan, to which shall be
debited at the end of each Plan Year the normal cost of the Plan for
such year plus other charges to the Account required by ERISA, and to
which shall be credited the amount of the Company's contributions
considered paid for such Plan Year and the other credits required by
ERISA.
7.3 - Irrevocability. The Company shall have no right, title, or interest in the
- --------------------
contributions made by it to the Fund and no part of the Fund shall revert to the
Company except that, after satisfaction of all liabilities of the Plan as set
forth in Section 9.2, any amount remaining shall be deemed to have resulted from
an erroneous actuarial calculation and shall revert to the Company; however, all
<PAGE>

contributions are conditioned on their deductibility and the continued
qualification of the Plan. Amounts contributed under the following circumstances
shall be returned to the Company within one year of the indicated date:

Plan in the absence of:
(i) knowing participation in or concealment of an act or omission
with knowledge that it constitutes a breach of duty,
(ii) failing to act prudently in selecting or continuing in office
the members of the Committee, which failure enables a member or

in writing and shall specifically identify (i) the person or
institution to whom a duty is allocated or delegated, and (ii) the
nature and scope of the duty allocated or delegated. To the extent a
duty or responsibility is so allocated or delegated, neither the
Committee nor any member thereof (who is not the person to whom the
duty is allocated or delegated) shall be liable for an act or omission
of the person or institute delegated to carry out that duty or
responsibility, except to the extent that the Committee or member
hereof (other than such person) either (i) violated its responsibility
hereunder with respect to making or permitting the allocation or
delegation to continue, (ii) knowingly participated in or attempted to
conceal a known breach of obligation, or (iii) having knowledge of
such a breach, failed to make reasonable efforts under the
circumstances to remedy the breach.

(i) by his failure to administer his specific responsibility he has
enabled such other person to commit a breach of fiduciary obligation;

omission to be a breach, or (iii) having knowledge of the breach of
another, he has failed to make reasonable efforts under the

<PAGE>
-35-
Article 9
AMENDMENT, DURATION, TERMINATION, AND MERGER
--------------------------------------------
9.1 - Amendment and Duration of the Plan. The Company hopes and expects to
- ----------------------------------------
continue the Plan, but necessarily reserves the right to amend the Plan at any
time, or from time to time, or to terminate the Plan. Amendments shall be in
accordance with ERISA and shall be made by appropriate actions of the Board of
Directors. Except as provided in Section 7.3, no such action shall operate to
recapture for the Company any part of the Fund previously contributed to the
Trustee under the Plan or, except to the extent necessary to meet the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental
authority, to adversely affect the retirement benefits of Members already
retired or the Fund securing such retirement benefits.
9.2 - Termination of the Plan. In the event of termination of the Plan:
- -----------------------------
a. No benefits will be payable from the Plan to the extent they do not
constitute "accrued benefits" within the meaning of Section 3(23)(A)
of ERISA or benefits protected under Section 204(g) of ERISA.
b. To the extent not already vested, the interests of Members in their
benefit liabilities (as defined under Title IV of ERISA) which remain
after the application of a. shall, to the extent funded, automatically
become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and their interests in all
other benefits under the Plan shall be permanently forfeited. The
assets of the Fund shall constitute the sole source of benefits under
the Plan and under no circumstances shall the Company be liable for
pension payments except in accordance with Title IV of ERISA. Upon
satisfaction of remaining benefit
<PAGE>
-36-
liabilities (as defined under Title IV of ERISA), any residual assets
remaining in the Plan shall revert to the Company.
c. Benefit liabilities may be satisfied by the payment of lump sums,
through the purchase of annuity contracts, or by any other method
permitted by law at such time or times as is determined by the
Committee. In the event of the payment of lump sums on account of the
Plan's termination, the amount of the lump sums will be calculated by
reference to the Normal Retirement Benefit or, for those who have
passed Normal Retirement Date, the Late Retirement Benefit; no
subsidies will be included in the calculations.
In the event of a partial termination of the Plan (as defined under Section
411(d)(3) of the Code), the rights of Members affected by the partial
termination in their benefit liabilities (as defined under Title IV of ERISA but
subject to a., b. and c. of this Section) shall, to the extent funded,
automatically become fully vested and nonforfeitable to the extent required by
law. Nothing in this Section prevents the Company from reducing or eliminating
benefit liabilities that are not accrued benefits or benefits protected under
Section 411(d)(6) (or any successor provision) of the Code at any time. In
addition, the Company may reduce any benefits under the Plan prospectively.
If the Plan terminates, the benefit of any highly compensated Employee and
highly compensated former Employee (as determined under Section 414(q) of the
Code) is limited to a benefit that is nondiscriminatory under Section 401(a)(4)
of the Code.
<PAGE>
-37-
9.3 - Merger of the Plan. No merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or
- ------------------------
transfer of assets or liabilities of the Plan to, any other plan shall be
permitted unless each Member would, if the Plan terminated immediately after the
merger, consolidation, or transfer, receive a benefit equal to or greater than
the benefit he would have been entitled to receive if the Plan had terminated
immediately before such merger, consolidation, or transfer.
<PAGE>
-38-
Article 10
LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS AND BENEFITS
-----------------------------------------
10. I - Maximum Benefit.
- -----------------------
a. The annual benefit payable to any Member shall not exceed the lesser
of the amounts detemined under subparagraphs (i) and (ii) below:
(i) The Member's Service Ratio times 100% of the Member's average
annual compensation for his highest 36 consecutive months. In
each instance, the maximum compensation limitation set forth in
this subparagraph (i) shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Member's average annual compensation for his highest 36
consecutive months by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
adjusted maximum dollar limitation prescribed by the Secretary
of the Treasury under Section 415(d)(1)(A) of the Code for the
calendar year in which the computation is made and the
denominator of which is the adjusted maximum dollar limitation
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section
415(d)(1)(A) of the Code for the calendar year in which the
Member terminates his employment, and/or by any other method of
adjustment permitted by the Internal Revenue Service. For
purposes of this Article 10, the term compensation shall mean
compensation as described in Section 1.415-2(d) of the Income
Tax Regulations.
<PAGE>
-39-
(ii) The Member's Benefit Service Ratio times $90,000 (or such
increased amount as may be specified from time to time by the
Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate). In the event that a
Member commences benefits prior to his Social Security Retirement
Age, the $90,000 maximum dollar limitation set forth in this
subparagraph (ii) shall be reduced by 5/9 of 1% for each of the
first 36 months and 5/12 of 1% for each of the additional months
(up to 24 months) by which benefits commence after age 62 and
prior to his Social Security Retirement Age and actuarially
reduced using an annual interest rate equal to 5% compounded for
the number of years and fractions of a year intervening between
the Member's benefit commencement date and the date upon which he
would attain age 62. In the event that a Member commences
benefits after his Social Security Retirement Age, the $90,000
maximum benefit limitation set forth in this subparagraph (ii)
shall be actuarially increased using an annual interest rate
equal to 5% compounded for the number of years and fractions of a
year intervening between the date upon which the Member attained
his Social Security Retirement Age and benefit commencement date.
b. The limitation upon the annual benefit payable to a Member set forth
in a. above shall not apply in any case in which the annual benefit
payable to a Member does not exceed $10,000 multiplied by the Member's
Benefit Service Ratio and the Member has never participated in a
defined contribution plan as defined in Section 414(i) of the Code.
<PAGE>
-40-
c. For purposes of a. and b. above, the benefits payable to a Member
shall be converted to a straight life annuity for the life of the
Member. This conversion shall not take into account (i) benefits
payable to the Member which are not directly related to retirement
income, or (ii) any portion of any joint and survivor annuity payable
to the Member which constitutes a qualified joint and survivor
annuity.
d. For purposes of a. and b. above, a Member's Service Ratio shall be a
fraction, not to exceed 1.0, the numerator of which is the Member's
Vesting Service and the denominator of which is ten. The Member's
Benefit Service Ratio is the same fraction as above but substituting
Benefit Service for Vesting Service.
e. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 10 to the contrary,
the annual benefit payable to each Employee who was a Member before
October 3, 1973 shall not be deemed to exceed the limitation upon the
annual benefit payable to a Member set forth in a. above if such
annual benefit does not exceed the lesser of the following:
(i) 100% of the Member's compensation on October 2, 1973, and
(ii) the benefits payable to the Member under the terms of the Plan as
in effect on October 2, 1973, assuming no raise in the Member's
compensation after October 2, 1973.
f. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 10 to the contrary,
the annual benefit payable to each Employee who was a Member before
December 31, 1982 shall not be less than the annual benefit payable to
the Member on December 31, 1982 under the terms of the Plan, including
this Article 10, as in effect on July 1, 1982. The annual benefit
payable to each Employee who was a Member before
<PAGE>
-41-
December 26, 1987 shall not be less than the benefit determined
as of December 26, 1987.
10.2 - Additional Limitation on Benefits. In addition to the limitations
- ----------------------------------------
imposed by Section 10.1, the following additional limits shall also apply
to any Member who participates in a defined contribution plan as defined in
Section 414(i) of the Code.
In the case of such a Member, the sum of the Defined Benefit Plan
Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction as described below for
any Plan Year shall not exceed 1.0. In the event the sum of such fractions
exceeds 1.0 as of the end of any Plan Year, the Member's maximum benefit
under Section 10.1 shall be reduced to the extent required to limit the sum
of such fractions to 1.0.
a. The Defined Benefit Plan Fraction is determined by dividing:
(i) the annual benefit of the Member, as adjusted pursuant to
the rules in Section 10.1.d., determined by projecting the
Member's Benefit Service to his Normal Retirement Date but
based on the assumption,that the Member's compensation and
all other relevant factors used to determine benefits during
the Plan Year being tested remain unchanged, by
(ii) the lesser of
(1) the Member's limitation determined under Section
10.1.a.(i), based on the assumption that current
compensation remains unchanged until the Member's
Normal Retirement Date, multiplied by 1.4, or
<PAGE>
-42-
(2) the Member's limitation determined under Section
10.1.a.(ii), assuming that the Member has attained his
Normal Retirement Date, multiplied by 1.25.
b. The Defined Contribution Plan Fraction is determined by dividing
(i) the total "annual additions" for each year of Benefit
Service of the Member. For this purpose, an annual addition
is the amount of after-tax employee contributions
contributed by a Member (during a Plan Year ending on or
before December 26, 1987, the amount which represents the
lesser of (1) after-tax employee contributions in excess of
------
6% of compensation, or (2) one-half of after-tax employee
contributions) plus any Company contributions made on the
Member's behalf to a defined contribution plan, and if the
Member is a Key Employee, any Company contributions to a
funded welfare benefit plan providing post retirement
medical benefits to employees, by
(ii) the sum of the maximum "annual additions" which could have
been made for each year of Benefit Service of the Member.
For this purpose, the maximum annual addition which could
have been made for a member in any Plan Year is the lesser
of (1) 35% of compensation, and (2) the maximum dollar
contribution limit as specified in Section 415(c)(1)(A) of
the Code for a Plan Year, based on the dollar limitation in
effect on the January 1 which falls within the Plan Year,
multiplied by 1.25.
<PAGE>
-43-
10.3 - Temporary Limitations.
- ----------------------------
a. For Plan Years beginning before January 1, 1991, in the event
that the Plan is terminated or the full current costs thereof
applicable to the first ten years following a Commencement Date,
as hereinafter defined, have not been met at any time, the
benefits provided under the Plan which any of the 25 Highest Paid
Employees, as hereinafter defined, may receive shall not exceed
those which can be provided from Corporation contributions not in
excess of the largest of the following amounts:
(i) the Company contributions (or funds attributable thereto)
which would have been applied to provide the benefits for
the Members if the Plan as in force on the date preceding
any Commencement Date had been continued without change,
(ii) $20,000, or
(iii) the sum of (1) the Company contributions (or funds
attributable thereto) which would have been applied to
provide the benefits for the Members if the Plan as in
effect on the day preceding any applicable Commencement Date
had been terminated on that day, and (2) an amount computed
by multiplying the number of years in the period for which
the current costs of the Plan on and after any applicable
Commencement Date are met, by 20% of the first $50,000 of
his average annual Compensation during such period.
b. Notwithstanding the limitations in Section 10.3.a., the
contributions of the Company (or funds attributable thereto)
which may be applied to provide retirement benefits under the
Plan to any of the 25 Highest Paid Employees, as hereinafter
defined,
<PAGE>
-44-
shall not exceed the following limitations if they would result
in a greater amount of Company contributions to be used for the
benefit of such restricted Employees:
(i) In the case of a substantial owner (as defined in Section
4022(b)(5) of ERISA), a dollar amount which equals the
present value of the benefit guaranteed for such restricted
Employee under Section 4022 of ERISA, or if the Plan has not
terminated, the present value of the benefit that would be
guaranteed if the Plan terminated on the date the benefit
commences, determined in accordance with regulations of the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
(ii) In the case of other restricted Employees, a dollar amount
which equals the present value of the maximum benefit
described in Section 4022(b)(3)(B) of ERISA (determined on
the earlier of the date the Plan terminates or the date
benefits commence, and determined in accordance with
regulations of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation)
without regard to any other limitations in Section 4022 of
ERISA.
c. These conditions shall not restrict the current payment of full
retirement benefits called for by the Plan for any Member or
Beneficiary while the Plan is in full effect. In the event that
any funds are realized by operation of the restrictions set forth
in this Section 10.3, they will be used to reduce subsequent
Company contributions, for the benefit of Members, other than the
25 Highest Paid Employees, on a basis which will not result in
discrimination in favor of the more highly compensated Employees.
<PAGE>
-45-
d. For the purposes of this Section 10.3, the "25 Highest Paid
Employees" shall mean the 25 highest paid Employees of the
Corporation as of the applicable Commencement Date, including any
such highly paid Employees who are not covered by the Plan at
that time but who may later be covered, but excluding any
Employees whose annual benefit will not exceed $1,500.00.
e. For the purpose of this Section 10.3, "Commencement Date" shall
mean July 1, 1972 or the effective date of any amendment to the
Plan which increases substantially the possibility of
discrimination in favor of highly compensated Employees. The
extension of the Plan by action of the Company to a group of
Employees not previously covered hereunder shall not constitute
an amendment of the Plan, but the effective date of such
extension shall constitute a Commencement Date for that group
only.
f. For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1991, benefits
distributed to any of the 25 most highly paid active and former
highly compensated employees (within the meaning of Section
414(q) of the Code) are restricted such that the annual payments
are no greater than an amount equal to the payment that would
have been made on behalf of the Member under a straight life
benefit that is the actuarial equivalent (using the UP-1984
Mortality Table and 6% interest) of the sum of the Member's
accrued benefit and the Member's other benefits (if any) under
the Plan. The preceding sentence shall not apply if: (i) after
payment of the benefit to a Member described in the preceding
sentence, the value of Plan assets equals or exceeds 110% of the
value of current liabilities, as defined in Section 412(1)(7) of
<PAGE>
-46-
the Code, or (ii) the value of the benefits for a Member
described above is less than 1% of the value of current
liabilities.
g. In the event that it should be determined by statute or by ruling
of the Internal Revenue Service that the provisions of this
Section 10.3 are no longer necessary to qualify the Plan under
the Code, this Section 10.3 shall become ineffective without
amendment to the Plan.

Article 12
TOP HEAVY PROVISIONS
--------------------
The provisions of this Article 12 shall become applicable only under the
circumstances described hereunder:
12.1 - Determination of Top Heavy Plan. The Plan shall be deemed "Top
- --------------------------------------
Heavy" with respect to any Plan Year commencing on and after December 26,
1984 if, as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year (the "Determination
Date"), the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for "Key
Employees", as defined in Section 416(i)(1) of the Code, under the Plan and
all other plans in the "Aggregation Group" as defined below, exceeds 60% of
the present value as of the Determination Date of the cumulative accrued
benefits under all such plans for all Employees. For purposes of this
Article 12, (i) the term "Aggregation Group" shall mean each plan of the
Employer in which a Key Employee participates and each other plan of the
Employer which enables such plan to meet the requirements of Section 401
(a)(4) or 410 of the Code; (ii) the present value of such accrued benefits
shall be computed in accordance with Section 416(g) of the Code on the
basis of the UP-1984 Mortality Table and 8% interest; and (iii) the above
percentage ratio shall be determined as of the Determination Date by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the present value of the
accrued benefits of Key Employees under the Plan and all other plans in the
Aggregation Group, and the denominator of which is the sum of the present
value of the accrued benefits under all such plans, including the Plan, for
all Employees.
12.2 - Special Minimum Vesting Rules. Notwithstanding Section 4.4, for any
- ------------------------------------
Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is deemed Top Heavy, a Member
shall be entitled, upon termination of employment with the Company other
than by retirement or death, to a Deferred Vested Benefit,
<PAGE>
-51-
determined under Sections 5.4 and 12.3 below, based on his Vesting Service
in accordance with the following schedule:
Vesting Percentage
Vesting Service of Accrued Benefit
--------------- ------------------
2 years 20%
3 years 40
4 years 60
5 or more years 100
12.3 - Special Minimum Benefit Accruals.
- ----------------------------------------
a. Notwithstanding Section 5.1, for any Plan Year with respect to
which the Plan is deemed Top Heavy the accrued annual retirement
benefit of a Member who is not a Key Employee and has completed a
year of Benefit Service during such Plan Year shall not be less
than 2% of his "Average Compensation" multiplied by the number of
years of his Vesting Service, not in excess of ten, for the years
during which the Plan is Top Heavy. For purposes of this Section
12.3, "Average Compensation" shall mean the average annual
compensation (subject to the limitations specified in Section
416(d) of the Code) of a Member for the five consecutive years
of his Vesting Service commencing on and after December 26, 1984,
during which he received the greatest aggregate compensation from
the Company (as that term is described in Article 10), excluding
any compensation for service after the last year in which the
Plan is Top Heavy.
b. If the Plan is Top Heavy in any year and ceases to be Top Heavy
in a subsequent year, the following provisions shall be
applicable:
<PAGE>
-52-
(i) The accrued retirement benefit in any such subsequent year
shall not be less than the minimum accrued retirement
benefit provided in a. above, computed as of the end of the
most recent year during which the Plan was Top Heavy.
(ii) A Member who has completed five years of Vesting Service on
or before the last day of the most recent year during which
the Plan was Top Heavy shall have a nonforfeitable right to
his accrued retirement benefit, computed as of any
subsequent date, and deferred to commence on his Normal
Retirement Date.
(iii) A Member who has completed at least three, but less than
five, years of Vesting Service on or before the last day of
the most recent year during which the Plan was Top Heavy
shall continue to have a nonforfeitable right to his accrued
retirement benefit as of such date, deferred to commence on
his Normal Retirement Date, but any benefit accruals after
the Plan ceases to be Top Heavy shall be nonforfeitable only
in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4.
12.4 - Special Benefit Limitations. Notwithstanding the provisions of
- ----------------------------------
Article I0, if during any Plan Year an Employee participates in both a
defined contribution plan and a defined benefit plan maintained by the
Company which comprise a "Top Heavy Group", as defined in Section
416(g)(2)(B) of the Code, the denominators of the Defined Benefit Plan
Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction, as described in
Section 10.2, shall be calculated by substituting "1.0" for "1.25" each
place it appears in such Section; provided, however, that this Section 12.4
shall not apply with respect to a plan in the Top Heavy Group if (i) such
plan would satisfy the requirements
<PAGE>
-53-
of Section 416(h)(2)(A) of the Code, and (ii) the aggregate cumulative
accrued benefits and account balances of Key Employees under all plans in
the Top Heavy Group do not exceed 90% of the aggregate accrued benefits and
cumulative account balances under all such plans for all Employees.
12.5 - Special Rules for Terminated Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing
- ---------------------------------------------
provisions of this Article 12, effective for Plan Years commencing on and
after December 26, 1985 if a former Employee has not received any
Compensation from the Company (other than benefits under the Plan) at any
time during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date, any
accrued benefit for such former Employee shall not be taken into account
in determining whether the Plan is considered Top Heavy.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, by its authorized officers, has caused
these presents to be signed on the 21st day of December ,1995.
