                    2002 EXECUTIVE OFFICER BONUS ARRANGEMENT

        The Ducommun Incorporated 2002 Executive Officer Bonus Arrangement (the
"Arrangement") is designed to reward achievement of annual operating plan
objectives in order to build profitability and provide competitive compensation
levels. The Arrangement contains a formula-based incentive plan based on net
income and cash flow for corporate officers, and operating income and cash flow
for subsidiary officers, in excess of established thresholds. The participants
in the Arrangement are the six Ducommun corporate officers and four subsidiary
officers.

        The Arrangement provides for bonus awards ranging from 0 to 150% of
annual base salary depending on position. The targeted bonus award under the
Arrangement is one-third of the maximum bonus eligibility for each individual.
Bonus awards are based on a combination of total corporate performance and on
individual performance of executive officers. The subsidiary officers are also
measured based upon the financial performance of their respective operating
units. All awards are subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors.
