EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Effective August 27, 1999, the Company entered into an employment
agreement with Mr. Costello, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer
and Secretary of the Company. Under the terms of this agreement Mr. Costello
will receive a base salary of $230,000 which will be reviewed annually by the
Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors as of each October 1. In
addition to the base salary, Mr. Costello will be eligible for a performance
bonus, with respect to each fiscal year that ends during the term of the
employment agreement. The performance bonus, which shall not be less than 50% of
Mr. Costello's base pay, will be calculated and approved annually by the
Compensation Committee in accordance with the bonus plan for compensating senior
executives. Mr. Costello will also receive equity compensation in such forms and
amounts as the Compensation Committee determines appropriate for the position,
industry practices, market conditions and other outside information considered
reasonable by the Committee.
Mr. Ganesan, the former Executive Vice President, Chief Financial
Officer and Treasurer of the Company, was employed pursuant to the terms of an
employment agreement, which continued in effect until Mr. Ganesan's separation
from the Company in January 2000. Under the terms of the employment agreement,
Mr. Ganesan received an annual salary of $150,000 and was given a one-time
signing bonus of $25,000 upon commencing work with the Company on February 1,
1997. Mr. Ganesan received a first-year bonus of $25,000 upon the accomplishment
of certain mutually agreed upon objectives.

Mr. Vidas, who was Executive Vice President and the Chief Operating
Officer and who currently is a Director of the Company, was employed pursuant to
an employment agreement which continued in effect until December 31, 1999. Under
the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Vidas received an annual salary of
$200,000 and was eligible for an annual performance-based bonus of up to $50,000
based upon the accomplishment of certain mutually agreed upon performance goals.
Mr. Vidas resigned as Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective September
30, 1999, and continued to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of SEMCOR until
December 31, 1999.
There are no other employment agreements in effect with respect to any
directors or executive officers of the Company.
INDEMNIFICATION ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements pursuant to
which it agreed to indemnify certain of its directors and officers against
judgments, claims, damages, losses and expenses incurred as a result of the fact
that any director or officer, in his capacity as such, is made or threatened to
be made a party to any suit or proceeding. Such persons will be indemnified to
the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL, as amended. The
indemnification agreements provide for the advancement of certain expenses to
such directors and officers in connection with any such suit or proceeding. The
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and
Restated Bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the
fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Company's executive officer compensation policy is to offer a
package including a competitive salary, an incentive bonus based upon
achievement of the Company's financial objectives and competitive benefits. The
Company's compensation policy for officers is similar to that for other
employees, and is designed to promote continued performance and attainment of
corporate and personal goals.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (comprised of two
non-employee independent directors) reviews and approves individual executive
officer salaries, bonus plan financial performance goals, bonus plan allocations
and stock option grants. The Company's compensation structure is designed to:
(i) enable the Company to attract highly qualified executives and management
talent from within the communications and information technology services
industry and other relevant industries, (ii) retain top performers and ensure
future management continuity, (iii) reward achievement of the Company's
strategic goals and financial targets and (iv) provide compensation that is
consistent with marketplace competitiveness for companies of similar size,
Company and individual performance and stockholder returns. Executive officers
of the Company are paid salaries in line with their responsibilities and
experience.
The Compensation Committee developed a plan for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1999 designed to award bonuses based upon achievement by the
Company of revenues and earnings per share objectives. Stock option grants to
officers are designed to promote success by aligning the officers' financial
interests with long-term stockholder value and by providing an incentive for
individual long-term performance and the achievement of short-term financial
performance by the Company. Grants of stock options are based on various
subjective factors primarily relating to the responsibilities of the individual
officers, and also to their expected future contributions and prior option
grants.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") imposes a limitation on the deductibility of nonperformance-based
compensation in excess of $1 million paid to executive officers. The Committee
currently believes that the Company should be able to continue to manage its
executive compensation program for executive officers so as to preserve the
related federal income tax deductions.
The Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves the
compensation of George A. Robinson, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
the Board of Directors. Mr. Robinson continues to provide outstanding personal
leadership of the Company. Under Mr. Robinson's direction, the Company's
revenues have increased each year since fiscal 1987 and grew at a compound
annual rate of 62.8% during the last five fiscal years, reaching $218.3 million
for fiscal 1999. In light of the leadership he demonstrated during fiscal year
1999, the Committee believes Mr. Robinson's salary of $350,002 was reasonable.
Mr. Robinson is also a significant stockholder in the Company, and to the extent
his performance as Chief Executive Officer translates into an increase in the
value of the Company's stock, all stockholders, including Mr. Robinson, share
the benefits.

Agreement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company is
obligated to make a payment (the "Earn Out Payment") of up to

depending on the extent to which SEMCOR achieves certain performance
criteria for the period ending December 31, 1999. The Purchase Agreement
provides that the Selling Shareholders may elect to receive all or

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
In 1993, the Company entered into a ten year lease with 10089
Management, the members of which include, among others, Messrs. Robinson,
Martinache and Costello, who collectively owned approximately 91% of 10089
Management. Under the terms of the lease, the Company leased approximately
23,148 square feet at 10089 Lee Highway, Fairfax, Virginia from 10089 Management
for use as the Company's headquarters at a current rental rate of approximately
$15.23 per square foot. The Company, as tenant, also paid for insurance for the
premises and for increases in real estate taxes over 1993 real estate taxes for
the building. The Company also provided management services for 10089 Management
at no cost.
10089 Management purchased the Company's headquarters building in 1993
using, in part, a loan in the amount of $1,125,000 from a third party
institutional lender, which loan was previously guaranteed by the Company.
Pursuant to the loan agreement, as amended, the guarantee was canceled upon the
Company's initial public offering in June 1997. Also in connection with 10089
Management's acquisition of the Company's headquarters building, the Company
lent to each of Messrs. Robinson, Martinache and Costello approximately $119,000
for use as part of the purchase price for the building.

All loans were repaid in full from the proceeds received by the makers from the
$6.6 million dividend of the Company's previously undistributed S corporation
earnings declared by the Board of Directors in connection with the termination
of the Company's S corporation status and its initial public offering (the "S
Corporation Distribution"). In July 1999, the headquarters building was sold to
a non-affiliated third party from whom the facility is currently leased.
Charles R. Collins, a director of the Company, is an advisory partner at
the law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and prior to his election to the
Board of Directors was a partner with the same firm. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP
received legal fees from the Company during the Company's fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998 in connection with the Company's initial public offering in
June 1997 and for certain other legal services.
