INSTRUCTIONS TO THE WITHDRAWAL FORM

FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

1.  Delivery of Withdrawal Form.

A properly completed and executed original of this withdrawal form (or a facsimile of it), must be received by Caroljean Boone, either via hand delivery at L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., 600 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10016, attention: Caroljean Boone, via e-mail to cj.boone@l-3com.com, or via facsimile (fax number: (212) 805-5362) on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 19, 2006 (referred to as the expiration date). If we extend the offer, this withdrawal form must be received by Caroljean Boone by the date and time of the extended expiration of the offer.

The delivery of all required documents, including withdrawal forms and any new election forms, is at your risk. Delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by Caroljean Boone. You may hand deliver your election form to Caroljean Boone at L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., 600 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10016, or you may send it via e-mail to cj.boone@l-3com.com, or you may fax it to Caroljean Boone at fax number (212) 805-5362. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. We intend to confirm the receipt of your withdrawal form by e-mail within two U.S. business days. If you have not received such an e-mail confirmation, it is your responsibility to ensure that your withdrawal form has been received by Caroljean Boone. Only responses that are complete, signed and actually received by Caroljean Boone by the deadline will be accepted. Responses may only be submitted via fax, e-mail or hand delivery, as set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph. Responses submitted by any other means, including United States mail (or other post) and Federal Express (or similar delivery service), are not permitted and will not be accepted.

You should note that any eligible options with respect to which you previously elected to accept this offer, but did not withdraw from the offer, will remain bound by your prior election form.

Although by submitting a withdrawal form you have withdrawn some or all the eligible options with respect to which you previously chose to accept the offer from the offer, you may change your mind and re-elect to accept the offer with respect to some or all of the withdrawn options until the expiration date. Your elections with respect to withdrawn eligible options will be deemed not properly made for purposes of the offer, unless you properly re-elect to accept this offer with respect to your eligible options at any time before the expiration date. If we extend the offer beyond that time, you may re-elect with respect to your options at any time until the extended expiration of the offer. To re-elect with respect to some or all of the withdrawn options, you must deliver a new election form with the required information to Caroljean Boone. You will not be deemed to have made a proper election with respect to your options for purposes of the offer unless you deliver, prior to the expiration date, a new election form following the procedures described in the instructions to the election form. This new election form must be signed and dated after your original election form and any withdrawal form you have submitted. Upon the receipt of such a new, properly filled out, signed and dated election form, any previously submitted election form or withdrawal form will be disregarded and will be considered replaced in full by the new election form. You will be bound by the last properly submitted election or withdrawal form received by us prior to the expiration date.

Although we intend to send you an e-mail confirmation of receipt of this withdrawal form, by signing this withdrawal form, you waive any right to receive any notice of the withdrawal of your election with respect to your options.

2.  Signatures on this Withdrawal Form.

If this withdrawal form is signed by the holder of the eligible options, the signature must correspond with the signature in the option agreement or agreements to which the options are subject. If your name has been legally changed since your option agreement was signed, please submit proof of the legal name change.




If this withdrawal form is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of the authority of that person to act on your behalf must be submitted with this withdrawal form.

We will determine, in our sole discretion, all questions as to the form of documents and the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of any withdrawal forms. Our determination of these matters will be final and binding on all parties. We reserve the right to reject any withdrawal forms that we determine are not in appropriate form or that we determine are unlawful to accept. We also reserve the right to waive any of the conditions of the offer or any defect or irregularity in any withdrawal form or for any particular option holder, provided that if we grant any such waiver, it will be granted with respect to all option holders and tendered options. No withdrawal of options will be deemed to have been properly made until all defects or irregularities have been cured by the withdrawing option holder or waived by us. Neither we nor any other person is obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will anyone incur any liability for failure to give any notice.

Important: The withdrawal form (or a facsimile copy of it) together with all other required documents must be received by Caroljean Boone, on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on December 19, 2006, unless the offer is extended.
