In order to induce Buyer and Northrop Grumman Corporation, a Delaware

and the Stockholders have agreed to, enter into this Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

SECTION 1.1. TENDER OF SHARES. (a) Each Stockholder hereby agrees,
pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to tender
for exchange in the Offer (as defined in the Merger Agreement) all Shares
currently owned by such Stockholder as set forth on the signature page hereto
and any additional Shares acquired by such Stockholder (whether by purchase or
otherwise) after the date of this Agreement (such "STOCKHOLDER'S SHARES" and,
collectively, the "STOCKHOLDER SHARES").
(b) Not later than two days prior to the expiration of the Offer (and
within five business days of any acquisition by each Stockholder of any
additional Shares), each Stockholder shall, as appropriate, (x) deliver to the

Beneficially Owned (as defined herein) by such Stockholder to tender such Shares

(c) No Stockholder shall withdraw any tender effected in accordance with
Section 1.1(b).
ARTICLE II
GRANT OF PROXY

proxies granted with respect to such Stockholder's Shares. Each Stockholder, by
this Agreement, with respect to such Stockholder's Shares, does hereby
constitute and appoint Buyer, or any nominee of Buyer, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney and proxy, for and in its name,
place and stead, to vote each of such Stockholder's Shares as its proxy, at
every annual, special or adjourned meeting, or solicitation of consents, of the
stockholders of the Company (including the right to sign its name (as
stockholder) to any consent, certificate or other document relating to the
Company that the law of the State of New York may permit or require) (i) in
favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and approval of
the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the other transactions
contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any proposal for
any recapitalization, merger, sale of assets or other business combination

other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant,
representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company
under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled and (iii) in favor of any other
matter necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement and this Agreement. Each Stockholder further agrees to cause
such Stockholder's Shares that are outstanding and owned by it beneficially to
be voted in accordance with the foregoing. The proxy granted by each
Stockholder pursuant to this Article II is irrevocable, is coupled with an
interest and is granted in consideration of Buyer's entering into this Agreement
and the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that such proxy shall be revoked
