guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties,
which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results and trends may
differ materially from what is forecast in forward-looking statements due to a
variety of factors, including, without limitation: the company's successful
execution of internal performance plans; performance issues with key suppliers
and subcontractors; the status or outcome of legal proceedings; the status or

construction primarily in northern and central Illinois. This business is
cyclical and seasonal in nature.
Freeman Energy mines coal, producing approximately 4-5 million tons in
each of the last three years. Freeman Energy owns or leases rights to over 600
million tons of coal reserves in Illinois.
Patriots are financing subsidiaries that lease liquefied natural gas
tankers to a nonaffiliated company.
COMPETITION
Historically, competition for U.S. government defense contracts was
characterized by a number of major companies competing for a variety of weapon
system contracts. The customer's procurement policy generally required
competitive bids based on strict product specifications. In addition, the
customer often awarded contracts to more than one company in order to ensure
competition on subsequent contracts.
In recent years, because of reduced defense spending, the industry has
consolidated through mergers and acquisitions to maintain critical mass,
resulting in fewer and larger competitors. With fewer but more complex programs
in competition, companies frequently have formed strategic alliances to pursue
these programs. The Department of Defense faces challenges due to the reduction
in available procurement funds as it must address industrial base issues while
assessing competing needs between and among the various branches of the service.
Finally, Congress continues to be very influential in its role of selecting
which programs to fund and at what level based on limited budget dollars. As a
result, the defense procurement policy is evolving and will be affected by these
various and sometimes conflicting factors.
A discussion of competition on individual programs is included in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations and Financial
Condition on pages 20 through 25 of the 1998 Annual Report, filed as Exhibit 13
to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.

U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
The company's primary customer is the U.S. government. Net sales to the
U.S. government include Foreign Military Sales (FMS), which are sales to foreign
governments through the U.S. government, whereby the company contracts with and
receives payment from the U.S. government and the U.S. government assumes the
risk of collection from the customer. Historically, the company's largest FMS
sales are M1 tanks and related services, including training in operation and
maintenance, and other logistical support. U.S. government sales were as follows
(dollars in millions):

All U.S. government contracts are terminable at the convenience of the
U.S. government, as well as for default. Under contracts terminable at the
convenience of the U.S. government, a contractor is entitled to receive payments
for its allowable costs and, in general, the proportionate share of fees or
earnings for the work done. Contracts which are terminated for default generally
provide that the U.S. government only pays for the work it has accepted and may
require the contractor to pay for the incremental cost of reprocurement and may
hold the contractor liable for damages. In 1991, the U.S. Navy terminated for
default a contract with the company and McDonnell Douglas Corporation, now owned
by the Boeing Company, for the full-scale development of the U.S. Navy's A-12
aircraft. On February 23, 1998, a final judgment was entered in favor of the
contractors for $1,200 million plus interest. The U.S. government filed an
appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The U.S. government
seeks reversal of the judgment and a remand to the trial court for a full trial
on the merits. The appeal has been briefed and argued. For further discussion,
see Note P to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 37 of the 1998
Annual Report, filed as Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and
incorporated herein by reference.
Companies engaged in supplying goods and services to the U.S. government
are dependent on congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of
funds, and may be affected by changes in U.S. government policies resulting from
various military and political developments. U.S. government defense contracts
typically involve long lead times for design and development, and are subject to
significant changes in contract scheduling. Often the contracts call for
successful design and production of very complex and technologically advanced
items.
FOREIGN SALES AND OPERATIONS
The major portion of sales and operating earnings of the company for the
past three years was derived from operations in the United States. Although the
company purchases supplies from and subcontracts with foreign companies, it had
no substantial operations in foreign countries until the acquisition of
Computing Devices Canada Ltd. and Computing Devices Company Limited in the
United Kingdom at the end of 1997. Direct foreign sales, including international
operations, were $413 million, $132 million and $38 million in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
SUPPLIES
Many items of equipment and components used in the production of the
company's products are purchased from other manufacturers. The company is
dependent upon suppliers and subcontractors for a large number of components and
the ability of its suppliers and subcontractors to meet performance and quality
specifications and delivery schedules. In some cases the company is dependent on
one or a few sources, either because of the specialized nature of a particular
item or because of domestic preference requirements pursuant to which it
operates on a given project.
All of the company's operations are dependent upon adequate supplies of
certain raw materials, such as aluminum and steel, and on adequate supplies of
fuel. Fuel or raw material shortages could also have an adverse effect on the
company's suppliers, thus impairing their ability to honor their contractual
commitments to the company. The company has not experienced serious shortages in
any of the raw materials or fuel supplies that are necessary for its production
programs.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development activities in Marine Systems, Combat Systems and
Information Systems and Technology are conducted principally under U.S.
government contracts. These research efforts have been and continue to be
concerned with developing products for large systems development programs or
performing work under research and development technology contracts. Beginning
in 1996, the company experienced a decline in customer sponsored expenditures
for research and development due primarily to the Virginia class submarine
program at Electric Boat moving to the design phase. Each of the company's
defense businesses also engages in independent research and development, of
which a significant portion is recovered through overhead charges to U.S.
government contracts. The increase in company-sponsored research and
development is directly related to the 1998 acquisitions included in the
Information Systems and Technology segment.

Total backlog represents the estimated remaining sales value of work to
be performed under firm contracts. Funded backlog represents the portion of
total backlog that has been appropriated by Congress and funded by the procuring
agency. To the extent backlog has not been funded, there is no assurance that
congressional appropriations or agency allotments will be forthcoming. Total
backlog also includes amounts for long-term coal contracts. For further
discussion, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of
Operations and Financial Condition on pages 20 through 25 of the 1998 Annual
Report, filed as Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated
herein by reference.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS
The 1990 Clean Air Act (the Act) had a significant impact on Freeman
Energy. The Act requires, among other things, a phased reduction in sulfur
dioxide emissions by coal burning facilities. Virtually all of the coal in
Freeman Energy's Illinois basin mines has medium or high sulfur content. Freeman
Energy's two long-term contract customers have clean coal technologies which
allow for utilization of Freeman Energy's coal under the new regulations.
Freeman Energy has targeted customers with clean coal technology to mitigate the
impact of regulations in the near term. The long-term impact of the Act is not
known.
Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of
materials into the environment and other factors affecting the environment have
had and will continue to have an impact on the manufacturing operations of the
company. Thus far, compliance with the requirements has been accomplished
without material effect on the company's capital expenditures, earnings or
competitive position. While it is expected that this will continue to be the
case, the company cannot assess the possible effect of compliance with future
requirements. Additional information relating to the impact of environmental
controls is included under the caption "Environmental" in Note O to the
Consolidated Financial Statements on page 37 of the 1998 Annual Report, filed as
Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and is incorporated herein by
reference.

<PAGE> 9
PATENTS
Numerous patents and patent applications are owned by the company and
utilized in its development activities and manufacturing operations. In many
cases, however, the U.S. government has an irrevocable, non-exclusive,
royalty-free license, pursuant to which the government may use or authorize
others to use the inventions covered by the patents. Pursuant to similar
arrangements, the government may consent to the company's use of inventions
covered by patents owned by other persons. Patents and licenses are important
in the operation of the company's business, as one of management's key
objectives is developing and providing its customers with advanced
technological solutions.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1998, the company had approximately 31,000 employees
(excluding contract labor), of whom 42 percent were covered by collective
bargaining agreements with various unions, the most significant of which are the
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the Marine
Draftsmen's Association, the Metal Trades Council (MTC) of New London,
Connecticut, the United Auto Workers Union and the United Mine Workers of
America. Several agreements are due to expire during 1999, the most significant
of which is the Marine Draftsmen's Association.

BIW began in 1997 a $200 million project to construct a fifteen acre land
level transfer facility and manufacturing support center, and a 750-foot
dry-dock in Bath, Maine to improve productivity.
OTHER. Freeman Energy operates two underground coal mines and one surface
coal mine in Illinois. Coal preparation facilities and rail loading facilities
are located at each mine sufficient for its output. Material Service operates
several stone quarries, as well as sand and gravel pits and yards in the
Chicago, Illinois area for its aggregates business.
REAL ESTATE HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT. As part of the sale of businesses,
certain related properties were retained by the company. These properties have
been segregated on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as real estate held for
development. The company developed plans and marketing efforts which are
intended to maximize the market value of these properties. In 1997, two
buildings and 55 acres in Rancho Cucamonga were sold. In 1998, a 232-acre site
in the Kearny Mesa section of San Diego was sold. The remaining properties
include approximately 2,200 acres in Sycamore Canyon, San Diego, California and
308 acres in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Most of this property is undeveloped.
The company owns approximately 20,000 square feet of building space at Rancho
Cucamonga and approximately 200,000 square feet of building space at Sycamore
Canyon.
GENERAL. The company believes that its main facilities are adequate for
the present needs of the company and its subsidiaries and, as supplemented by
planned improvements and construction, are expected to remain adequate for the
foreseeable future.

EXHIBIT 10.37
RETIREMENT BENEFIT AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT DATED AS OF 4 March, 1998 between General Dynamics Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("the Corporation"), and David A. Savner ("the Executive").
WHEREAS, the Executive, following his employment by the Corporation, will accrue
retirement benefits under the General Dynamics Retirement Plan for Salaried
Employees (the "Retirement Plan") and to the extent the accrued benefits under
the Retirement Plan are limited by Section 415, 401(a)(4) or 401(a)(17) of the
Internal Revenue Code (or similar provisions), any benefit that would have been
provided by the benefit formula of the Retirement Plan in excess of those
limitations will be provided under a nonqualified plan (Supplemental Retirement
Plan). The Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Retirement Plan are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Retirement Program."
WHEREAS, this Agreement provides for certain additional retirement benefits to
be paid following the Executive's termination of employment or retirement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the Executive's acceptance of employment
with the Corporation and the services to be rendered to the Corporation by the
Executive, the Corporation and the Executive agree as follows:
1. MEMBERSHIP IN GENERAL DYNAMICS RETIREMENT PLAN.
The Executive will become a member of the General Dynamics Retirement
Program, a copy of which has been furnished to him.
2. RETIREMENT PROGRAM BENEFIT.
Upon the Executive's retirement from the Corporation, the Executive shall
be entitled to such annual retirement benefits, if any, as of the date of
the Executive's termination of employment with the Corporation, based upon
the terms of the Retirement Program. Payment of these benefits shall
commence at such time and in the form the Executive elects pursuant to the
terms of the Retirement Plan.
3. AMOUNT OF SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT.
Upon termination of the Executive's employment with the Corporation under
the conditions specified in Section 4, the Supplemental Retirement Benefit
shall equal an amount calculated under the Final Average Benefit Formula
of the Retirement Plan increased to reflect the addition of five (5) years
of Plan Membership (as defined in the Retirement Plan) to the Executive's
actual period of Plan Membership while an Executive and then reduced by
any payments that may be payable under the Retirement Program. This offset
shall be calculated based on the normal lifetime benefits payable under
the terms of this Retirement Benefit Agreement and the Retirement Program
prior to the election of any optional forms for payment of retirement
benefits.
Payment of Supplemental Retirement Benefits shall commence to the
Executive on the first day of the month following his attainment of age
sixty-two (62) or following his date of termination of employment or
retirement, if later.
Page 1 of 4
<PAGE> 2
4. ELIGIBILITY FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS.
If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment with the Corporation
during his first six (6) years of employment, no Supplemental Retirement
Benefit shall be payable under the terms of this Retirement Benefit
Agreement. This restriction shall not apply to any retirement benefits
that may be payable under the Retirement Program. Subject to the
restrictions enumerated in the last paragraph of this Section 4, if the
Executive terminates employment following completion of at least six (6)
years of employment, the Executive shall be entitled to the Supplemental
Retirement Benefit specified in Section 3 above.
Alternatively, if the Executive shall terminate his employment with the
Corporation at anytime after the execution of this Agreement under either
of the conditions specified in paragraphs (a) or (b) below, the Executive
shall be entitled to the Supplemental Retirement Benefit specified in
Section 3 above.
(a) In the event of the Executive's illness or disability such that he
is unable, in the sole opinion of the Compensation Committee, to
adequately perform the tasks of his position; or
(b) If the Corporation shall substantially downgrade the Executive's
responsibilities or if the Corporation shall involuntarily terminate
his employment other than for cause.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no
Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be paid hereunder (and any
Supplemental Retirement Benefit currently being paid to the Executive
shall cease) if, in the sole opinion of the Compensation Committee, the
Executive: (a) is discharged for causing harm to the Corporation
(financial, reputation, or product), through: (i) an act or acts of
personal dishonesty, (ii) conviction of a felony related to the
Corporation, (iii) material violation of General Dynamics' standards of
business ethics and conduct, or (iv) individually filing, assisting or
participating in a lawsuit against the Corporation, or (b) is subsequently
employed either as an employee or an independent contractor (other than as
a director on the board of directors for a charitable organization)
without prior Compensation Committee approval which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
5. ALTERNATE FORM OF BENEFIT.
The Executive shall have the option, on written notice transmitted to the
Corporation at least 30 days prior to the date on which payment of his
benefit would otherwise commence hereunder, to elect to receive the
retirement benefit described herein payable in an alternate form as
provided by the Retirement Plan or, in the Corporation's discretion, in
another form of actuarial equivalent value. The applicable single-life
annual benefit shall then be converted to the alternate form elected by
the application of the actuarial factors used for converting benefits
under the Retirement Plan at the time the retirement benefit is to
commence.
6. SURVIVOR BENEFIT IN CASE OF DEATH PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF BENEFITS.
If the Executive dies after the date of this Agreement but prior to
commencement of benefits, and at the time of his death he would have been
entitled to a Supplemental Retirement Benefit under this Agreement in the
event of his involuntary termination, then his spouse shall be entitled to
receive a "Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity" as provided in the
Retirement Plan (currently defined as a 50% Contingent Annuity) for her
life. The amount of the Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity payable
under this Agreement shall equal the amount that would have been paid to
the Executive under this
Page 2 of 4
<PAGE> 3
Agreement as a single-life annuity, assuming he was involuntarily
terminated immediately prior to his date of death, reduced by the
Retirement Plan's actuarial adjustments necessary to express the
single-life annuity as a 50% contingent annuity option. Payment of this
benefit shall commence on the date the Supplemental Retirement would have
commenced to the Executive if he had involuntarily terminated immediately
prior to his death.
7. PAYMENT.
All annual retirement benefits for the life of the Executive (or alternate
form of benefit) or other amounts payable as provided in this Agreement
shall be paid as provided in the Executive's benefit election under the
Retirement Plan. Any retirement benefits to which the Executive is
entitled under this Agreement shall be paid directly by the Corporation to
the extent they are not paid under the Retirement Plan. The Corporation
may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the payment of benefits under this
Agreement in the form of an actuarial equivalent value mutually agreeable
to the parties.
8. NO ASSIGNMENT.
No benefit under this Agreement shall be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance
or charge, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer,
assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void, and no such
benefit shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts,
liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled to such benefit,
except as specifically provided in the Retirement Program.
9. PAYMENT FROM GENERAL ASSETS.
Unless otherwise determined by the Corporation, the Supplemental
Retirement Benefit will be payable by the Corporation from its general
assets. The Corporation shall not be obliged to acquire, designate or set
aside any specific assets for payment of the Supplemental Retirement
Benefit. Further, the Executive shall have no claim whatsoever to any
specific assets or group of assets of the Corporation.
The Corporation may, in its discretion, designate that the Supplemental
Retirement Benefit shall be satisfied from the assets of a trust, fund, or
other segregated group of assets. But, should these assets prove to be
insufficient to satisfy payment of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit
described above, the Corporation shall remain liable for their payment
unless otherwise agreed to by the parties of this Agreement.
10. TAXATION.
The Executive and the Corporation agree that all payments hereunder shall
be treated as "wages" for federal and state income tax and employment tax
purposes at such time and in such manner as shall be prescribed by law.
Each party to this Agreement shall be responsible for the payment of any
such taxes as shall be legally required of such party.
11. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

LEASE
THIS LEASE, made and entered into this 22nd day of October, 1991, between the
SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT, a public corporation, hereinafter called
"Lessor," and NATIONAL STEEL AND SHIPBUILDING COMPANY, a Nevada corporation,
hereinafter called "Lessee," WITNESSETH:
Lessor, for the consideration hereinafter set forth, hereby leases to Lessee for
the term and upon the conditions hereinafter set forth, a portion of those lands
conveyed to the San Diego Unified Port District by that certain Act of the
Legislature of the State of California entitled "San Diego Unified Port District
Act," Stats. 1962, 1st Ex. Sess., c. 67, as amended, which lands are more
particularly described as follows:
Approximately 5,498,071 square feet of tideland area in the City of San
Diego, California, more particularly described and delineated on the
attached five-page legal description and three-page Drawing No. 2516-B
revised June 10, 1983, attached here to as Exhibits "A" and "B" and by
this reference made a part hereof.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD said leased premises for the term of the Lease and upon the
conditions as follows:
1. TERM: The term of the Lease shall be for a period of fifty (50) years
commencing on January 1, 1991, and ending on December 31, 2040, unless sooner
terminated as herein provided.
2. RENTAL: Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor rent in accordance with the following
schedules and procedures:
(a) The term of this Lease shall be divided into a series of rental periods.
The first rental period shall commence on the commencement date of this
Lease and shall end on March 31, 1991. The second rental period shall
commence on April 1, 1991, and end on October 31, 1991. The third rental
period shall commence on November 1, 1991, and end on September 30, 1993.
Each successive rental period shall consist of sixty (60) months and shall
commence at the expiration of the immediately preceding rental period. The
last rental period shall be reduced in term in order to coincide with the
expiration of this Lease.
(b) The rental for the first rental period of this Lease shall be One Hundred
Eighty-Two Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-Four Dollars ($182,724) per
month. The rental for the second
1
<PAGE> 5
rental period shall be Two Hundred Eight Thousand Four Hundred
Eighty-Eight Dollars ($208,488) per month. The rental for Parcel Nos. 1, 2
and 3 for the third rental period shall be One Hundred Ninety-Seven
Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty Dollars ($197,880) per month, which is
calculated on the basis of sixty-four cents (64 cent(s)) per square foot
per year for Parcel No. 1 and nine cents (9 cent(s)) per square foot per
year for Parcel Nos. 2 and 3. Said rental sums shall be payable in advance
on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month. For the fourth and each
successive rental period of this Lease and any extension thereof the
rental shall be a sum agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee provided, however,
during the fourth and each successive rental period the rents shall be
adjusted upward or downward after the expiration of the first thirty (30)
months of each rental period (the adjustment date) according to the
following computation: "The base figure for computing the adjustment is
the arithmetic average of the three monthly index figures for the sixth,
fifth, and fourth months immediately preceding the existing rental period
as shown in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for Los
Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside, CA/All Items based on the period 1982-84 = 100
as published by the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The index figure for the adjustment date is the arithmetic
average of the three monthly index figures of said Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers for the sixth, fifth, and fourth months
immediately preceding the adjustment date.
"The index for the adjustment date shall be computed as a percentage of
the base figure. For example, assuming the base figure is 110 and the
index figure for the adjustment date is 121, the percentage to be applied
is 121/110 = 1.10 = 110%.
"That percentage of the base figure shall be applied to the initial rent
in effect at the beginning of the then existing rental period and will
continue for the remaining thirty (30) months of the rental period.
"In the event the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for Los
Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside, CA/All Items is no longer published, the index
for the adjustment date shall be the one reported in the U. S. Department
of Labor's comprehensive official index most nearly answering the
foregoing description of the index. If an index is calculated from a base
different from the base period 1982-84 = 100, the base figure used for
calculating the adjustment percentage shall first be converted under a
formula supplied by the Bureau.
"If the above described Department of Labor indices are no longer
published, another index generally recognized as authoritative shall be
substituted by agreement of the parties. If they are unable to agree
within sixty (60) days
2
<PAGE> 6
after demand by either party, a substitute index will be selected by the
Chief Officer of the San Francisco Regional Office of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics or its successor.
"Notwithstanding the publication dates of the index, the effective date of
the rent adjustment is at the expiration of the first thirty (30) months
of each rental period. Until said rent adjustment can be reasonably
determined by index publication, Lessee shall continue to make rental
payments pursuant to this Lease at the same rent in effect at the then
existing rental period. Because of this provision, overpayment of rents
shall be credited to the Lessee's rental account and underpayments of rent
shall be immediately paid to the Lessor."
(c) In the event the parties cannot agree to the rent for the fourth or any
subsequent rental period, the controversy as to rent for said period shall
be determined by three arbitrators. After notice by either party to the
other requesting arbitration, one arbitrator shall be appointed by each
party. Notice of the appointment shall be given by each party to the other
when made. The two arbitrators shall immediately choose a third arbitrator
to act with them. If they fail to select a third arbitrator, on
application by either party, the third arbitrator shall be promptly
appointed by the then presiding judge of the. Superior Court of the State
of California, County of San Diego, acting in his individual capacity. The
party making the application shall give the other party notice of his
application. All of the arbitrators shall be qualified real estate
appraisers. Each party shall bear the expense of its own appointed
arbitrator and shall bear other expenses pursuant to Section 1284.2 of the
Code of Civil Procedure of California. Hearings shall be held in the City
of San Diego, California. The award shall be the decision of not less than
two of the arbitrators. Said award shall be the rent which Lessor would
derive from Lessor's property if it was vacant land and water, without any
improvements thereon, and made available on the open market for new
leasing purposes at the commencement of the rental period under
arbitration. For the purpose of this arbitration procedure, the
arbitrators shall assume that the Lessor has a fee simple absolute estate.
The arbitrators shall take into consideration the size of the premises and
any benefits or burdens granted or imposed by the terms of this lease,
other than limitations as to Lessee's use as provided in other paragraphs
herein, and other than Lessee's obligation to construct improvements as
provided in Paragraph 4 herein. In determining what rent Lessor could
derive from said property if it were made available on the open market for
new leasing purposes, the arbitrators shall consider the property as if it
were available to be leased for marine-related industrial uses. Said uses
shall not be confined to those permitted Lessee herein nor to Lessee's
actual use of the leased premises. In determining the rates, returns,
3
<PAGE> 7
rents and/or percentage rentals for said use and/or uses, the arbitrators
shall use and analyze only the market data that is found in the open
marketplace, such as is demanded and received by other Lessors for the
same or similar uses as those referenced above. In all cases, the award
shall be based upon recognized real estate appraisal principles and
methods. The award determined by the arbitrators shall be effective and
retroactive to the first day of the rental period under arbitration. The
award shall be in writing in the form of a report that is in accordance
with the powers of the arbitrators herein, supported by facts and analysis
and in accordance with law. The arbitrators shall make copies of their
report available to any ethical practice committee of any recognized
professional real estate organization. The arbitration shall be conducted
under and subject to Sections 1280 through 1294.2 of the Code of Civil
Procedure of California.
(d) In addition to the rentals provided in Paragraphs 2(a), (b), and (c),
Lessee shall pay the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200) per month as rent
for the use of the Lessor-owned building as described in Paragraph 6.
Said sum shall not be subject to adjustment nor shall it be considered in
establishing the rental amounts under this lease.
(e) Notwithstanding Paragraph 2 of this Lease, no rent shall be charged to
Lessee during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof for Parcel
No. 4, shown on attached Exhibits "A" and "B" unless and until such time
as Lessor determines rent shall be paid for said Parcel No. 4. Said rent
shall be effective thirty (30) days after delivery of a written notice to
Lessee from Lessor that Lessor elects to charge rent for said Parcel No.
4. If Lessor makes the election to charge rent, the additional rent for
said Parcel No. 4 shall be based upon the square foot water rent for
Parcel Nos. 2 and 3 in effect at the time Lessor makes said determination
and subsequent adjustments in rent for said Parcel No. 4 shall be made
concurrent with and in accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs 2 (a),
(b), and (c) of this Lease.
(f) In the event Lessee is delinquent in rendering to Lessor an accounting of
rent due or in remitting the rent due in accordance with the rental
provisions of this Lease, then the rent not paid when due shall bear
interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date due
until paid; provided, however, that the Port Director of Lessor shall have
the right to waive for good cause any interest payment upon written
application of Lessee for any such delinquency period.
(g) Rentals shall be delivered to the Treasurer of the San Diego Unified Port
District at Post Office Box 488, San Diego, California 92112. The
designated place of payment may be changed at any time by Lessor upon ten
(10) days' written
4
<PAGE> 8
notice to Lessee. Lessee assumes all risk of loss if payments are made by
mail.
3. USE: Lessee agrees that the leased premises shall be used only and
exclusively for the repairing and building of ships and for occasional and
incidental uses for steel fabricating, foundry, and general metal manufacturing
and for no other purposes whatsoever without the written consent of Lessor,
evidenced by resolution, first had and obtained.
4. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS:
(a) On or before December 31, 1993, Lessee shall commence the
construction and diligently proceed to completion of real property
improvements related to the permitted uses described in Paragraph 3.
The improvements shall be of the nature described on the EXAMPLES OF
REAL PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS, which is marked Exhibit "C" and is
attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. Lessee
shall make an investment for the improvements to be constructed as
described in this Paragraph in an amount which shall equal or exceed
Eighty-Five Million Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($85,550,000) hereinafter referred to as "minimum investment". Such
minimum investment is consideration for the term of this Lease, and
is not a portion of the rental obligations contained in Paragraph 2
of this Lease, and neither such investment or improvements nor any
other Lessee investment or improvement shall be considered by the
parties or any arbitrator (in the event of arbitration) in
determining any rent during the term of this Lease. In the event
Lessee fails to invest the entire minimum investment by no later
than December 31, 2010, the term of this Lease shall be reduced. The
reduction in term shall be one year for every One Million Seven
Hundred Eleven Thousand Dollars ($1,711,000), prorated monthly, that
Lessee's actual investment in improvements to be constructed as
described in this Paragraph is less than the minimum investment. In
no event, however, shall the term of the Lease be reduced by
operation of the terms of this Paragraph so as to result in
termination of this Lease prior to September 30, 2005.
The construction of certain improvements contemplated by this Lease
may be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act and other
laws which may be in effect in the future. If Lessor determines any
proposed improvements are within the scope of any then applicable
environmental quality act and laws, it may then be necessary for
Lessor either to approve or
5
<PAGE> 9
disapprove (and thereby prohibit) the construction of such
improvements in accordance with any such act or laws and other
applicable provisions of this Lease. In the event there is such a
disapproval, the cost of such a proposed improvement shall not be
credited toward the cost of any improvement nor shall the time for
completion of any improvements be extended, waived, or suspended.
(b) No construction of any improvement upon the leased premises shall
commence without the prior approval of the Port Director of Lessor,
as evidenced in writing, and all such construction shall be in
accordance with plans and specifications which must be submitted to
and approved by the Port Director in writing prior to the
commencement of any such construction.
(c) When required by Lessor, Lessee shall pave or plant ground cover, at
its own cost and expense, over the entire area of the leased
premises not covered by buildings. All paving or ground cover shall
be in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the Port
Director in writing prior to the commencement of any such paving or
planting.
(d) By no later than March 31 of each year, beginning with March 31,
1992 and ending with March 31, 2011, Lessee shall furnish Lessor an
itemized statement of the actual construction cost of any
improvements required by the terms of this paragraph, which were
completed during the preceding calendar year. The statement of cost
shall be sworn to and signed by Lessee or his responsible agent
under penalty of perjury.
(e) The time during which Lessee is delayed by acts of God, war,
invasion, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, riots, labor
problems, unavailability of materials, government intervention, or
acts or omissions of the Lessor, shall be added to the times for the
commencement of construction and completion of construction of
improvements as referred to in this Lease and otherwise to perform
its obligations referred to in this Lease; provided, that in no
event shall the period of excused delay exceed 365 days in the
aggregate.
5. IMPROVEMENTS: Lessee may, at its own expense, make any alterations or changes
in the leased premises or cause to be built, made or installed thereon any
structures, machines, appliances, utilities, signs or other improvements
necessary or desirable for the use of said premises and may alter and repair
6
<PAGE> 10
any such structures, machines or other improvements; provided, however, that no
alterations and changes shall be made and no structures, machines, appliances,
utilities, signs or other improvements shall be made, built or installed, and no
major repairs thereto shall be made except in accordance with plans and
specifications previously submitted to and approved in writing by the Port
Director of Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right
within the interior of any enclosed building structure to install and/or remove
machines, equipment, appliances and trade fixtures to/from the leased premises
without the prior consent of the Port Director of Lessor.
Lessee further agrees that no banners, pennants, flags, eye-catching spinners or
other advertising devices, nor any temporary signs shall be permitted to be
flown, installed, placed, or erected on the premises without written consent of
the Port Director of Lessor.
6. TITLE TO IMPROVEMENTS: On the commencement date of the term of this Lease,
all, existing structures, buildings, installations, and improvements of any
kind located on the leased premises are owned by and title thereto is vested in
Lessee, except for a building of approximately 2,879 square feet located at the
foot of the southerly extension of 28th Street on Parcel No. 1, formerly known
as "Lyon's Cafe" and now commonly known as "NASSCO Building 42," which building
is owned by Lessor. All said existing structures, buildings, installations and
improvements as well as structures, buildings, installations and improvements of
any kind placed on the leased premises by Lessee subsequent to the commencement
date of the term of this Lease shall at the option of Lessor be removed by
Lessee at Lessee's expense. Lessor may exercise said option as to any or all of
the structures, buildings, installations and improvements either before or after
the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. If Lessor exercises such
option, Lessee shall remove such structures, buildings, installations or
improvements within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the term of this
Lease or sooner termination thereof. If Lessee fails to remove such structures,
buildings, installations or improvements within said sixty (60) days, Lessor
shall have the right to have such structures, buildings, installations or
improvements removed at the expense of Lessee. As to any or all structures,
buildings, installations or improvements owned by Lessee for which Lessor does
not exercise said option for removal, title thereto shall vest in the Lessor
without cost to Lessor and without any payment to Lessee.
Machines, appliances, equipment and trade fixtures of any kind now existing or
hereafter placed on the leased premises by Lessee are owned by and title thereto
is vested in Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee within sixty (60) days after
the expiration of the term of this Lease or sooner termination thereof;
provided, however, Lessee agrees to repair any and all damage occasioned by the
removal thereof. If any such machines, appliances, equipment and trade
fixtures are not removed within sixty (60) days after
7
<PAGE> 11
the termination of this Lease, the same may be considered abandoned and shall
thereupon become the property of Lessor without cost to the Lessor and without
any payment to Lessee; except that Lessor shall have the right to have the same
removed at the expense of Lessee.
During any period of time employed by Lessee under this Paragraph to remove
structures, buildings, installations, improvements, machines, appliances,
equipment and trade fixtures, Lessee shall continue to pay the full rental to
Lessor in accordance with this Lease which said rental shall be prorated daily.
7. LIENS: Lessee agrees that it will at all times save Lessor free and harmless
and indemnify it against all claims for labor or materials in connection with
improvements, repairs, or alterations on the leased premises, and the costs of
defending against such claims, including reasonable attorney's fees.
In the event that any lien or levy of any nature whatsoever is filed against the
lease premises or the leasehold interests of the Lessee therein, the Lessee
shall, upon written request of Lessor, deposit with Lessor a bond conditioned
for the payment in full of all claims upon which said lien or levy has been
filed. Such bond shall be acknowledged by Lessee as principal and by a
corporation, licensed by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California
to transact the business of a fidelity and surety insurance company, as surety.
Lessor shall have the right to declare this Lease in default in the event the
bond required by this Paragraph has not been deposited with the Lessor within
ten (10) days after written request has been delivered to Lessee.
8. LEASE ENCUMBRANCE: Lessee understands and agrees that it cannot encumber the
Lease, leasehold estate and the improvements thereon by a deed of trust,
mortgage or other security instrument to assure the payment of the promissory
note of Lessee without the prior express written consent by resolution of Lessor
in each instance. If any deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument
that encumbers the Lease, leasehold estate and the improvements thereon is
entered into by Lessee without Lessor's prior express written consent, Lessor
shall have the right to declare this Lease in default.
If a deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument which Lessor has
consented to by resolution, should at any time be in default, before Lessee's
interest under said Lease may be sold as part of any foreclosure or trustee's
sale or be assigned in lieu of foreclosure, the prior express written consent by
resolution of Lessor shall be obtained in each instance. However, the original
beneficiary of the deed of trust, the original mortgagee of the mortgage, and
the original holder of the security instrument which the Lessor has consented to
by resolution may purchase the Lessee's interest at a foreclosure or trustee's
sale or accept assignment of the Lease in lieu of foreclosure, without the
requirement of any further consent on the part of Lessor provided said party, as
an express condition precedent, agrees in
8
<PAGE> 12
writing to assume each and every obligation under the Lease. Furthermore, before
any said original beneficiary, mortgagee, or holder of a security instrument, or
any other consented-to assignee or purchaser may subsequently assign or sublet
any of the leasehold or Lessee's interest, it shall obtain the Lessor's prior
express written consent by resolution. The decision of the Board of Port
Commissioners of Lessor as to such assignee, purchaser, or subtenant shall be
final.
9. ASSIGNMENT-SUBLEASE: Lessee agrees not to assign or transfer the
whole or any part of this Lease or any interest therein, nor to sublease the
whole or any part of the leased premises, nor contract for the management or
operation of the whole or any part of the leased premises, nor to permit the
occupancy of any part thereof by any other person, nor to permit transfer of
the Lease or possession of the leased premises by merger, consolidation, or
dissolution, without the consent of Lessor, evidenced by resolution, first had
and obtained in each instance. Lessee further agrees that no assignment,
voluntary or involuntary, in whole or in part of this Lease, or any interest
therein, and no sublease of the whole or any part of the leased premises, and
no contract for the management or operation of the whole or any part of the
leased premises, and no permission to any person to occupy the whole or any
part of the leased premises shall be valid or effective without the consent of
Lessor, first had and obtained in each instance; provided, however, that
nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the occupancy of said
premises by any employee, or business invitee of Lessee.
In the event any consent of Lessor is given for any Lease assignment or
transfer, the following shall apply in each instance: (i) the Lessor shall be
paid additional rent, which may be percentage rate or rates, to equal the full
fair market rent, commencing on the effective date of such proposed assignment
or transfer, unless on that date the rent being paid under this Lease is equal
to the full fair market rent; (ii) the Assignee hereby agrees and assumes each
and every obligation under the Lease, and (iii) other conditions and
qualifications determined by the Board of Port Commissioners of Lessor.
Notwithstanding, items (i) and (iii) shall not apply in the event of: (a) a
Lease assignment or transfer to a third party from a consented-to lender which
acquired title to the Lease by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or a
new Lease pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 10 or (b) assignment or
transfer of the Lease to a consented-to lender by deed in lieu of foreclosure,
or to a consented-to lender or a third party as the successful bidder at a
foreclosure sale. The rent under this Lease and any change resulting therein
effective upon any Lease assignment or transfer as provided in this Paragraph
shall be for the remainder of the rental period during which it occurs, and any
said rent shall thereafter be subject to rental review at the commencement of
subsequent and succeeding rental periods in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 2 of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a change in rent
is made which becomes effective upon any Lease assignment or transfer, the rent
9
<PAGE> 13
shall be subject to any adjustment applicable during the remainder of said
rental period during which the Lease assignment or transfer occurred based on
the change in the Consumer Price Index if such adjustment is provided for in
Paragraph 2 of this Lease; provided, however, the "base figure for computing the
adjustment" shall be the arithmetic average of the three monthly index figures
for the sixth, fifth and fourth months immediately preceding the effective date
of such proposed assignment or transfer for which the Assignee pays additional
rent to Lessor to equal the full fair market rent and the "index figure for the
adjustment date" shall be the arithmetic average of the three monthly index
figures of said Consumer Price Index for the sixth, fifth and fourth months
immediately preceding the date such adjustment is effective.
In the event any consent of Lessor is given to sublease, the following shall
apply in each instance: (i) the Lessor shall be paid additional rent, which may
be percentage rate or rates, to equal the full fair market rent for the sublease
area, commencing on the effective date of such proposed sublease and continuing
for a specified period of time which shall not extend beyond the remainder of
the master Lease rental period during which it occurs or until the termination
of the sublease, whichever occurs first, unless on that date the rent being paid
under this Lease for said area is equal to the full fair market rent, and (ii)
other conditions and qualifications determined by the Board of Port
Commissioners of Lessor. As long as said sublease is in effect, said rent for
the sublease area shall thereafter be subject to rental review at the
commencement of subsequent and succeeding master Lease rental periods, in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2 of this Lease.
In the event the parties cannot agree to an amount that is equal to the full
fair market rent described in this paragraph, the full fair market rent shall be
determined by the arbitration procedure described in Paragraph 2 of this Lease,
except that the arbitration award shall be for a limited period of time
commencing and ending as provided in this Paragraph and not for a "rental
period" as specified in said Paragraph 2. Until said full fair market rent is
determined pursuant to said Paragraph 2, the Lessee shall continue to make
rental payments as required by this Lease at the same rate or rates in effect on
the effective date of the Lease assignment or sublease. Because of this
provision, underpayment of rent, if any, shall be paid to Lessor within ten (10)
days of the date that the full fair market rent is determined by said
arbitration procedure.
10. DEFAULT: It is mutually understood and agreed that if any default be made in
the payment of rental herein provided or in the performance of the covenants,
conditions, or agreements herein (any covenant or agreement shall be construed
and considered as a condition), or should Lessee fail to fulfill in any manner
the uses and purposes for which said premises are leased as above stated, and
such default shall not be cured within five (5) days after written notice
thereof if default is
10
<PAGE> 14
in the submittal of a report of gross income if required in this Lease or ten
(10) days after written notice thereof if default is in the performance of the
use obligation provisions pursuant to Paragraph 14 of this Lease, or thirty (30)
days after written notice thereof if default is in the payment of rent, or sixty
(60) days after written notice thereof if default is in the performance of any
other covenant, condition and agreements (any covenant or agreement shall be
construed and considered as a condition), Lessor shall have the right to
immediately terminate this Lease; and that in the event of such termination,
Lessee shall have no further rights hereunder and Lessee shall thereupon
forthwith remove from said premises and shall have no further right to claim
thereto, and Lessor shall immediately thereupon, without recourse to the courts,
have the right to reenter and take possession of the leased premises. Lessor
shall further have all other rights and remedies as provided by law, including
without limitation the right to recover damages from Lessee in the amount
necessary to compensate the Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by
the Lessee's failure to perform his obligations under the Lease or which in the
ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
In the event Lessor consents to an encumbrance of the Lease for security
purposes in accordance with Paragraph 8 of this Lease, it is understood and
agreed that Lessor shall furnish copies of all notices of defaults to the
beneficiary or mortgagee under said encumbrance by certified mail
contemporaneously with the furnishing of such notices to Lessee, and in the
event Lessee shall fail to cure such default or defaults within the time allowed
above, said beneficiary or mortgagee shall be afforded the right to cure such
default at any time within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the
period within which Lessee may cure such default, provided, however, Lessor
shall not be required to furnish any further notice of default to said
beneficiary or mortgagee.
In the event of the termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this
Paragraph, Lessor shall have any rights to which it would be entitled in the
event of the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease under the provisions
of Paragraph 6.
11. BANKRUPTCY: In the event Lessee becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or
dissolution proceedings, or in the event of any judicial sale of Lessee's
interest under this Lease, Lessor shall have the right to declare this Lease in
default.
The conditions of this Paragraph shall not be applicable or binding on Lessee or
the beneficiary in any deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument on
the demised premises which is of record with Lessor and has been consented to by
resolution of Lessor, or to said beneficiary's successors in interest consented
to by resolution of Lessor, as long as there
11
<PAGE> 15
remains any monies to be paid by Lessee to such beneficiary under the terms of
such deed of trust; provided that such beneficiary or its successors in
interest, continuously pay to the Lessor all rent due or coming due under the
provisions of this Lease and the premises are continuously and actively used in
accordance with Paragraph 14 of this Lease.
12. EMINENT DOMAIN: If the whole or a substantial part of the premises hereby
leased shall be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain,
then the term of this Lease shall cease as to the part so taken, from the day
the possession of that part shall be taken for any public purpose, and the rent
shall be paid up to that day, and from that day Lessee shall have the right
either to cancel this Lease and declare the same null and void or to continue in
the possession of the remainder of the same under the terms herein provided,
except that the minimum rent shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of the
promises taken. All damages awarded for such taking shall belong to and be the
property of Lessor whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for
diminution in value to the leasehold or to the fee of the premises herein
leased; provided, however, that Lessor shall not be entitled to award made for
the taking of any installations or improvements on the leased premises belonging
to Lessee.
13. SUPERSEDURE: It is mutually agreed that this Lease upon becoming effective
shall supersede that certain Lease, as amended, made and entered into the 20th
day of December, 1977, with National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, a Nevada
corporation, which Lease shall thereafter be void and of no effect except as to
any rentals, fees which may have accrued thereunder, or any rights or remedies
granted or accruing during or under such agreement.
Any such remaining rights, duties, or obligations of the parties pursuant to the
terms, covenants, and conditions in or arising during the Lease dated December
20, 1977 shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be affected by
this Lease. Nothing herein is intended nor shall be construed as a waiver of any
such rights or as a release of any such duties or obligations, whether known or
unknown at this time or upon the effective date of this Lease.
14. USE OBLIGATION: Lessee shall actively and continuously use and operate the
premises for the limited particular exclusive use as expressly provided for in
the Use paragraph of this Lease, except for failure to so use caused by reason
of wars, strikes, riots, civil commotion, acts of public enemies, and acts of
God. Said active and continuous use and operation enhances the value of the
tidelands, provides needed public service, provides additional employment,
taxes, and other benefits to the general economy of the area. Lessee, however,
shall not and is expressly prohibited from using the premises for any other
purpose or use whatsoever, whether it is purported to be in addition to or in
12
<PAGE> 16
lieu of the particular exclusive use expressed in said Use paragraph.
15. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR: As part of the consideration for the leasing
thereof, Lessee agrees to assume full responsibility for the operation,
maintenance, including painting, and repair of the premises, throughout the
term and without expense to the Lessor. Lessee will perform all maintenance,
repairs and replacements necessary to maintain and preserve the premises in a
good, safe' healthy and sanitary condition satisfactory to Lessor and in
compliance with all applicable laws. Lessee further agrees to provide approved
containers for trash and garbage and to keep premises free and clear of
rubbish and litter, or any other fire hazards. Lessee waives all right to make
repairs at the expense of Lessor as provided in Section 1942 of the California
Civil Code and all rights provided by Section 1941 of said Code.
For the purpose of keeping the premises in a good, safe, healthy and sanitary
condition, Lessor shall always have the right but not the duty, to enter, view,
inspect, determine the condition of and protect its interests in, the premises.
If inspection discloses that the premises are not in the condition described,
Lessee must perform the necessary maintenance work within ten (10) days after
written notice from Lessor. Further, if at any time Lessor determines that the
premises are not in the condition described, Lessor may require Lessee to file
and pay for a faithful performance bond, to assure prompt correction without
additional notice. The amount of this bond shall be adequate, in Lessor's
opinion, to correct the unsatisfactory condition. Notwithstanding, Lessor shall
not be required at any time to maintain or to make any improvements or repairs
whatsoever on or for the benefit of the leased premises. The rights reserved in
this section shall not create any obligations or increase any obligations for
Lessor elsewhere in this Lease.
16. PERFORMANCE BOND: No major construction shall be commenced upon the demised
premises by Lessee until Lessee has secured and submitted to Lessor performance
bonds in the amount of the total estimated construction cost of improvements to
be constructed by Lessee. In lieu of said performance bonds, the Port Director
of Lessor may at his sole discretion accept the performance and labor and
material bonds supplied by Lessee's contractor or subcontractors, or performance
guarantees, or other satisfactory evidence that said construction will be timely
completed. Said bonds must be issued by a company qualified to do business in
the State of California and be in a form acceptable to Lessor.
17. TAXES AND UTILITIES: This Lease may result in a taxable possessory interest
and be subject to the payment of property taxes. Lessee agrees to and shall pay
before delinquency all taxes and assessments of any kind assessed or levied upon
Lessee or the leased premises by reason of this Lease or of any buildings,
machines, or other improvements of any nature whatsoever erected, installed or
maintained by Lessee or by reason of the business or other activities of Lessee
upon or in
13
<PAGE> 17
connection with the leased premises. Lessee shall also pay any fees imposed by
law for licenses or permits for any business or activities of Lessee upon the
leased premises or under this Lease, and shall pay before delinquency any and
all charges for utilities at or on the leased premises.
18. CONFORMANCE WITH RULES AND REGULATIONS: Lessee agrees that in all activities
on or in connection with the leased premises and in all uses thereof, including
the making of any alterations or changes and the installation of any machines or
other improvements, it will abide by and conform to all rules and regulations
prescribed by the San Diego Unified Port District Act, any ordinances of the
City in which the leased land is located, including the Building Code thereof,
and any ordinances and general rules of the Lessor, including tariffs, and any
applicable laws of the State of California and Federal Government, as any of the
same now exist or may hereafter be adopted or amended.
19. NON-DISCRIMINATION: Lessee agrees not to discriminate against any person or
class of persons by reason of sex, color, race, religion, or national origin. If
the use provided for in this Lease allows the Lessee to offer accommodations or
services to the public, such accommodations or services shall be offered by the
Lessee to the public on fair and reasonable terms.
20. PARTIAL INVALIDITY: If any term, covenant, condition, or provision of this
Lease is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions hereof shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated thereby.
21. HOLD HARMLESS: Lessee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lessor, its
officers and employees against causes of action, liability, damage, and expense,
including reasonable attorney's fees, for judicial relief of any kind, for
damage to property of any kind whatsoever and to whomever belonging, including
without limitation Lessee or its employees, or injury or death of any person or
persons, including without limitation Lessee or its employees, resulting
directly or indirectly from granting and performance of this Lease or arising
from the use and operation of the leased premises or any defect in any part
thereof. Nothing herein is intended to exculpate Lessor from its own negligence.
22. SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST: Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, the terms,
covenants and conditions herein shall apply to and bind the heirs, successors,
executors, administrators, and assigns of all the parties hereto, all of whom
shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.
23. EASEMENTS: This Lease and all rights given hereunder are subject to all
easements and rights-of-way previously granted or reserved by Lessor in, to, or
over the leased premises for any
14
<PAGE> 18
purpose whatsoever, and shall be subject to future easements and rights-of-way
for access, gas, electricity, water, sewer, drainage, telephone, telegraph,
television transmission, and other Lessor or public facilities as may be
determined from time to time by Lessor to be in the best interests of the
development of the tidelands. Lessor agrees that an effort shall be made so that
such future easements and rights-of-way shall be so located and facilities
installed as to produce a minimum amount of interference to the business of
Lessee. Lessee shall not be entitled to any monetary payment or other
remuneration for any such future easements.
24. TITLE OF LESSOR: Lessor's title is derived from the provisions of the San
Diego Unified Port District Act, Appendix 1, Harbors & Navigation Code, and is
subject to the provisions of said Act. This Lease IS granted subject to the
terms and conditions of said Act.
25. INSURANCE: Lessee shall maintain insurance acceptable to Lessor in full
force and effect throughout the term of this Lease. The policies for said
insurance shall, as a minimum, provide the following:
(a) Forms of Coverage
(1) "OCCURRENCE" form Commercial General Liability covering premises and
operations in the amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury
and property damage. Either the general aggregate limit shall apply
separately to this location or the general aggregate limit shall be twice
the required occurrence limit.
If alcoholic beverages are served or sold on the leased premises, Liquor
Liability coverage in the amount of not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) shall be obtained.
(2) Fire and Extended Coverage, including water damage and debris cleanup
provisions in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of full
replacement value of all improvements located within the leased premises.
The fire and extended coverage policies shall be endorsed to state that
any insurance proceeds in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000)
resulting from a loss under said policies shall be payable jointly to
Lessor and Lessee in order that said proceeds will be reinvested in
rebuilding and/or repairing the damaged portions of the leased premises;
provided, however, that within the period during which there is in
existence a mortgage or deed of trust upon the leasehold given by Lessee
with the prior consent of Lessor, then and for that period all fire and
extended coverage policies shall be made payable jointly to the mortgagee
or beneficiary and Lessee, and any proceeds collected therefrom
15
<PAGE> 19
shall be held by said mortgagee or beneficiary for the following purposes:
(i) As a trust fund to pay for the reconstruction, repair, or
replacement of the damaged or destroyed improvements in kind and
scope in progress payments as the work is performed with any excess
remaining after completion of said work to be retained by said
mortgagee or beneficiary and applied to reduction of the debt
secured by such mortgage or deed of trust and with any excess
remaining after full payment of said debt to be paid over to Lessee;
or
(ii) In the event that this Lease is terminated with consent of both
Lessor and mortgagee or beneficiary and said improvements are not
reconstructed, repaired, or replaced, the insurance proceeds shall
be retained by said mortgagee or beneficiary to the extent necessary
to fully discharge the debt secured by said mortgage or deed of
trust and said mortgagee or beneficiary shall hold the balance
thereof without liability to restore the premises to a neat and
clean condition and then for Lessor and Lessee as their interests
may appear.
(3) Pollution Liability for Underground Storage Tanks
Due to operation of underground storage tanks, Lessee is required to
comply with Subpart H of 40 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) and maintain
a Certification of Financial Responsibility detailing financial assurance
mechanisms. At the time Lessee is required to comply with Subpart H of 40
CFR, Lessee shall provide Lessor with a certified copy of its
Certification of Financial Responsibility. If Lessee's program for
financial responsibility includes insurance, then Lessee's policy(ies)
shall name Lessor, its officers, officials and employees as additional
insureds, and, all other terms of Section (b), below, shall apply. Any
time Lessee changes its financial assurance mechanisms, Lessee shall
provide Lessor with a certified copy of its revised Certification of
Financial Responsibility.
(4) Blanket Contractual Coverage
(b) General Requirements
(1) All required insurance shall be in force the first day of the term of
this Lease. The cost of all required insurance shall be borne by Lessee.
Certificates in a form acceptable to Lessor evidencing the existence of
the necessary insurance policies, and original endorsements effecting
coverage required by this clause, shall be kept on file with Lessor during
the entire term of this Lease. The certificates and endorsements for each
insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer
to bind coverage on its behalf. The Lessor reserves the right to
16
<PAGE> 20
require complete, certified copies of all required policies at any time.
(2) All liability insurance policies will name, or be endorsed to name, Lessor,
its officers, officials and employees as additional insureds and protect Lessor,
its officers, officials and employees against any legal costs in defending
claims. All fire and extended insurance policies will name, or be endorsed to
name, Lessor as an additional insured. All insurance policies will be endorsed
to state that coverage will not be suspended, voided, cancelled, reduced in
coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by
certified mail, return receipt requested has been given to the Lessor. All
insurance policies will be endorsed to state that Lessee's insurance is primary
and not excess or contributory to any insurance issued in the name of Lessor.
And, all insurance companies must be satisfactory to Lessor.
(3) Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared and acceptable
to the Lessor. At the option of the Lessor, either: the insurer shall reduce or
eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects the Lessor,
its officers, officials, and employees; or, the Lessee shall procure a bond
guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration
and defense expenses.
(4) Lessor shall retain the right at any time to review the coverage, form, and
amount of the insurance required hereby. If, in the opinion of Lessor, the
insurance provisions in this Lease do not provide adequate protection for Lessor
and/or for members of the public using the leased premises, Lessor may require
Lessee to obtain an insurance sufficient in coverage, form and amount to provide
adequate protection. Lessor's requirements shall be reasonable but shall be
designed to assure protection from and against the kind and extent of risk which
exist at the time a change in insurance is required.
(5) Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of changes in the insurance
requirements. With respect to changes in insurance requirements that are
available from Lessee's then existing insurance carrier, Lessee shall deposit
certificates evidencing acceptable insurance policies with Lessor, incorporating
such changes within sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice. With respect to
changes in insurance requirements that are not available from Lessee's then
existing insurance carrier, Lessee shall deposit certificates evidencing
acceptable insurance policies with Lessor, incorporating such changes within one
hundred twenty (120) days of receipt of such notice. This Lease shall be in
default without further notice to Lessee, and Lessor shall be entitled to all
legal remedies, if the certificates
17
<PAGE> 21
described in this Subparagraph 25(b)(5) are not submitted within the time
periods specified.
(6) If Lessee fails or refuses to maintain insurance as required in this
Lease, or fails to provide proof of insurance, Lessor has the right to
declare this Lease in default without further notice to Lessee and Lessor
shall be entitled to exercise all legal remedies.
(7) The procuring of such required policies of insurance shall not be
construed to limit Lessee's liability hereunder, nor to fulfill the
indemnification provisions and requirements of this Lease. Notwithstanding
said policies of insurance, Lessee shall be obligated for the full and
total amount of any damage, injury, or loss caused by negligence or
neglect connected with this Lease or with the use or occupancy of the
leased premises.
(8) Lessee further agrees not to keep on the premises or permit to be
kept, used, or sold thereon, anything prohibited by commercially
obtainable fire or other insurance policies covering the premises. Lessee
shall, at its sole expense, comply with any and all requirements, in
regard to premises, of its insurance company necessary for maintaining
fire and other insurance coverage at reasonable cost.
26. POLICY OF LESSOR: It is the policy of the Lessor that prevailing wage rates
shall be paid all persons who are employed by Lessee on the tidelands of Lessor.
27. WARRANTIES-GUARANTIES-COVENANTS: Lessor makes no warranty, guarantee,
covenant, including but not limited to covenants of title and quiet enjoyment,
or averment of any nature whatsoever concerning the condition of the leased
premises, including the physical condition thereof, or any condition which may
affect the leased premises, and it is agreed that Lessor will not be responsible
for any loss, damage or costs which may be incurred by Lessee by reason of any
such condition or conditions.
28. DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES: In the event of damage to or
destruction by fire, the elements, acts of god, or any other cause, of
Lessee-constructed improvements located within the demised premises or in the
event Lessee-constructed improvements located within the demised premises are
declared unsafe or unfit for use or occupancy by a public entity with the
authority to make and enforce such declaration, Lessee shall, within ninety (90)
days, commence and diligently pursue to completion the repair, replacement, or
reconstruction of improvements necessary to permit full use and occupancy of the
demised premises for the purposes required by this Lease. Repair, replacement or
reconstruction of improvements within the demised premises shall be accomplished
in a manner and according to plans approved by Lessor; provided, however, Lessee
shall not be obligated to repair, reconstruct or replace the improvements
18
<PAGE> 22
following their destruction in whole or substantial part except to the extent
the loss is covered by insurance required to be carried by Lessee pursuant to
Paragraph 25 of this Lease (or would be covered whether or not such required
insurance is actually in effect). If Lessee elects not to restore, repair or
reconstruct as herein provided, then the Lease shall terminate and Lessor shall
have any rights to which it would be entitled under the provisions of Paragraph
6.
29. QUITCLAIM OF LESSEE'S INTEREST UPON TERMINATION: Upon termination of this
Lease for any reason, including but not limited to termination because of
default by Lessee, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor a good and
sufficient deed whereby all right, title and interest of Lessee in the demised
premises is quitclaimed to Lessor. Should Lessee fail or refuse to deliver the
required deed to Lessor, Lessor may prepare and record a notice reciting the
failure of Lessee to execute, acknowledge and deliver such deed and said notice
shall be conclusive evidence of the termination of this Lease and of all right
of Lessee or those claiming under Lessee in and to the demised premises.
30. PEACEABLE SURRENDER: Upon the expiration of this Lease or the earlier
termination or cancellation thereof, as herein provided, Lessee will peaceably
surrender said premises to Lessor in as good condition as said premises were at
the date of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted. If the Lessee fails to
surrender the premises at the expiration of this Lease or the earlier
termination or cancellation thereof, Lessee shall defend and indemnify Lessor
from all liability and expense resulting from the delay or failure to surrender,
including, without limitation, any succeeding Lessee's claims based on Lessee's
failure to surrender.
31. WAIVER: Any waiver by Lessor of any breach by Lessee of any one or more of
the covenants, conditions, or agreements of this Lease shall not be nor be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other breach of the same or any
other covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease, nor shall any failure on
the part of Lessor to require or exact full and complete compliance by Lessee
with any of the covenants, conditions, or agreements of this Lease be construed
as in any manner changing the terms hereof or to prevent Lessor from enforcing
the full provisions hereof. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of
any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee
to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of
such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.
32. HOLD OVER: This Lease shall terminate without further notice at expiration
of the term. Any holding over by Lessee after either expiration or termination
shall not constitute a renewal or extension or give Lessee any rights in or to
the leased
19
<PAGE> 23
premises. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession of the leased
premises after expiration or termination of the term or after the date in any
notice given by Lessor to Lessee terminating this Lease, such possession by
Lessee shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy terminable on thirty (30)
days' notice given at any time by either party. During any such month-to-month
tenancy, Lessee shall pay all rent required by this Lease, and if percentage
rent is required by the Lease, it shall be paid monthly on or before the tenth
(10th) day of each month.
All provisions of this Lease, except those pertaining to term, shall apply to
the month-to-month tenancy.
33. SECTION HEADINGS: The Table of Contents and section headings contained
herein are for convenience in reference and are not intended to define or limit
the scope of any provision thereof.
34. ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING: This Lease contains the entire and only understanding
and agreement of the parties, and Lessee, by accepting the same, acknowledges
that there is no other written or oral understanding or agreement between the
parties with respect to the demised premises and that this Lease supersedes all
prior negotiations, discussions, obligations and rights of the parties hereto.
No waiver, modification, amendment or alteration of this Lease shall be valid
unless it is expressly in writing and signed by authorized persons of the
parties hereto. Each of the parties to this Lease acknowledges that no other
party, nor any agent or attorney of any other party, has made any promise,
representations, waiver or warranty whatsoever, expressed or implied, which is
not expressly contained in writing in this Lease, and, each party further
acknowledges that it has not executed this Lease in reliance upon any collateral
promise, representation, waiver or warranty, or in reliance upon any belief as
to any fact not expressly recited in this Lease.
35. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: Time is of the essence of each and all of the terms
and provisions of this Lease and this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and any successors of Lessee as fully and to the
same extent as though specifically mentioned in each instance, and all
covenants, stipulations and agreements in this Lease shall extend to and bind
any assigns and sublessees of Lessee.
36. NOTICES: Notices given or to be given by Lessor or Lessee to the other may
be personally served upon Lessor or Lessee or any person hereafter authorized by
either in writing to receive such notice or may be served by certified letter

Lease or the sooner termination as herein provided, it will remove within sixty
(60) days all ships, vessels, barges, hulls, debris, surplus and salvage
materials from the land and water area forming a part of or adjacent to the

occupied by Lessee; provided, however, that if any said ships, vessels, barges,
hulls, debris, surplus and salvage materials shall not be so removed within
sixty (60) days by the Lessee, Lessor may remove, sell and destroy the same at
the expense of Lessee and Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor the reasonable

which said rental shall be prorated daily.
38. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES: By signing this Lease, Lessee represents and
warrants that it has independently inspected the premises and made all tests,
investigations and observations necessary to satisfy itself of the condition of
the premises. Lessee agrees it is relying solely on such independent inspection,
tests, investigations and observations in making this Lease. Lessee further
acknowledges that the premises are in the condition called for by this Lease,
that Lessor has performed all work with respect to premises and that Lessee does
not hold Lessor responsible for any defects in the premises. Lessee furthermore
accepts and shall be responsible for any risk of harm to any person and
property, including without limitation employees of Lessee, from any latent
defects in the premises.

premises, is a twenty- (20) foot-wide access road which is shown on attached

nonpreferential purpose of vehicular access to the leased premises and for no
other uses or purposes whatsoever. Said road also provides access to the leased
premises for emergency vehicles, including ambulances, police vehicles, and fire
trucks. In consideration for Lessee not being charged rent for use of said
access road, Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be required at any time to
maintain or make any improvements or repairs to said access road. Lessee may, at
its own expense, maintain or make improvements or repairs to said access road;
provided, however, no maintenance, improvements, or repairs thereto shall be
made except in accordance with plans and specifications previously submitted to

employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to
race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Except during the time Lessee is
exempt pursuant to written policy of Lessor, Lessee shall submit to Lessor for
review and approval a written affirmative action program to attain improved
employment for racial and ethnic minorities and women and during the term of
this Lease shall further make available employment records to Lessor upon
request. Lessee shall certify in writing to Lessor that Lessee is in compliance
and throughout the term of this Lease will comply with Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the California Fair Employment Practices Act,
and any other applicable Federal, State, and local law, regulation and policy
(including without limitation those adopted by Lessor) relating to equal
employment opportunity and affirmative action programs, including any such law,
regulation, and policy hereinafter enacted.
Compliance and performance by Lessee of the equal employment opportunity and
affirmative action program provision of this Lease is an express condition
hereof and any failure by Lessee to so comply and perform shall be a default as
provided in said Lease and Lessor may exercise any right as provided therein and
as otherwise provided by law.
42. ATTORNEY'S FEES: In the event any suit is commenced to enforce, protect or
establish any right or remedy of any of the terms and conditions hereof,
including without limitation a summary action commenced by Lessor under the laws

22
<PAGE> 26
prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the losing party
reasonable attorney's fees and costs of suit.
43. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Lessee shall comply with all laws regarding hazardous
substances, materials or wastes, or petroleum products or fraction thereof
(herein collectively referred to as "Contaminants") relative to occupancy and
use of the leased premises. Lessee shall be liable and responsible for any
Contaminants located on the leased premises and arising out of the occupancy or
use of the leased premises by Lessee. Such liability and responsibility shall
include, but not be limited to, (i) removal from the leased premises any such
Contaminants; (ii) removal from any area outside the premises, including but not
limited to surface and ground water, any such Contaminants generated as part of
the operations on the leased premises; (iii) damages to persons, property and
the leased premises; (iv) all claims resulting from those damages; (v) fines
imposed by any governmental agency, and (vi) any other liability as provided by
law. Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor, its officials,
officers, agents, and employees from any and all such responsibilities, damages,
claims, fines, liabilities, including without limitation any costs, expenses and
attorney's fees therefor.
All storage tanks storing Contaminants, including hydrocarbons, located on the
leased premises or hereinafter placed on the leased premises by any party, shall
be monitored by Lessee. Lessee shall maintain appropriate records, implement
reporting procedures, and properly remove the storage tanks as required under
any federal, state, or local laws.
If Lessee has in the past or continues to use, dispose, generate, or store
Contaminants on the leased premises, Lessor, or its designated representatives,
at Lessor's sole discretion, may at any time during the term of this Lease,
enter upon the premises and make any inspections, tests or measurements Lessor
deems necessary in order to determine if a release of Contaminants has occurred.
Lessor shall give Lessee a minimum of 24 hours' notice in writing prior to
conducting any inspections or tests, unless, in Lessor' s sole judgment,
circumstances require otherwise, and such tests shall be conducted in a manner
so as to attempt to minimize any inconvenience and disruption to Lessee's
operations. If such tests indicate a release of Contaminants, then Lessor, at
Lessor's sole discretion, may require Lessee, at Lessee's sole expense, and at
any time during the term of this Lease, to have tests for such Contaminants
conducted by a qualified party or parties on the leased premises. If Lessor has
reason to believe that any Contaminants that originated from a release on the
leased premises have contaminated any area outside the premises, including but
not limited to surface and ground water, then Lessor, at Lessor's sole
discretion, may require Lessee, at Lessee's sole expense, and at any time during
the term of this Lease, to have tests for such Contaminants conducted by a
qualified party or parties on said area outside the leased premises.
23
<PAGE> 27
The tests conducted by Lessee's qualified party shall include, but not be
limited to, applicable comprehensive soil, emission, or ground water sampling
test or other procedures to determine any actual or possible contamination.
Lessee shall expeditiously, but no longer than 30 days after Lessor's request
for such tests, furnish to Lessor the results of said tests, sampling plans, and
analysis thereof identifying any Contaminants which exceed then applicable
levels permitted by federal, state, or local laws. The Lessee shall report such
contamination to the Lessor within 72 hours and shall diligently proceed to
identify the extent of contamination, how it will be remediated, when it will be
remediated, by whom, and the cost of such remediation.

AGREEMENT FOR AMENDMENT OF LEASE
AMENDMENT NO. 1
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 6th day of December, 1994, by and
between the SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT, a public corporation, hereinafter
called "Lessor," and NATIONAL STEEL AND SHIPBUILDING COMPANY, a Nevada
corporation, hereinafter called "Lessee," WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee, heretofore on the 22nd day of October, 1991, entered
into a Lease of certain tidelands in the city of San Diego, California, which
Lease is on file in the Office of the Clerk of Lessor bearing Document No.
27624; and
WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee are mutually desirous of amending said Lease;
NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, said Lease is hereby amended in the
following respects and no others, and, except as expressly amended, all terms,
covenants, and conditions of said Lease shall remain in full force and effect:
A. The description of the premises contained in the preamble of said Lease is
amended to read as follows:
Approximately 5,498,071 square feet of tideland area located on the south
side of Harbor Drive at the foot of 28th Street, in the city of San Diego,
California, more particularly described and delineated on the attached
five-page legal description and three-page Drawing No. 021-022, dated
April 21, 1994, attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B" and by this
reference made a part hereof.
B. Said Lease also is hereby amended by deleting therefrom Paragraph 2,
Subparagraphs 4(a), 4(b), and 4(d), Paragraphs 5, 9, 11, 15, 19, 25, 31,
37, 41, and 43 in their entirety and substituting in lieu thereof
Paragraph 2, Subparagraphs 4(a), 4(b), and 4(d), Paragraphs 5, 9, 11, 15,
19, 25, 31, 37, 41, and 43 as follows:
2. RENTAL: Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor rent in accordance with the following
schedules and procedures:
(a) The term of this Lease shall be divided into a series of rental periods.
The first rental period shall commence on the
1
<PAGE> 4
commencement date of this Lease and shall end on March 31, 1991. The
second rental period shall commence on April 1, 1991, and end on October
31, 1991. The third rental period shall commence on November 1, 1991, and
end on September 30, 1993. Each successive rental period shall consist of
one hundred twenty (120) months and shall commence at the expiration of
the immediately preceding rental period. The last rental period shall be
reduced in term in order to coincide with the expiration of this lease.
(b) The rental for the first rental period of this Lease shall be One Hundred
Eighty-Two Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-Four Dollars ($182,724) per
month. The rental for the second rental period shall be Two Hundred Eight
Thousand Four Hundred Eighty-Eight Dollars ($208,488) per month. The
rental for the third rental period shall be One Hundred Ninety-Seven
Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty Dollars ($197,880) per month. The rental for
Parcel Nos. 1, 2, and 3 for the fourth rental period shall be One Hundred
Forty-Six Thousand Four Hundred Forty-One Dollars ($146,441) per month,
which is calculated on the basis of forty-five cents (45 cent) per square
foot per year for Parcel No. 1 and eleven cents (11 cent) per square foot
per year for Parcel Nos. 2 and 3. Said rental sums shall be payable in
advance on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month. For the fifth and
each successive rental period of this Lease and any extension thereof the
rental shall be a sum agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee. During the fourth
and each successive rental period, the rents shall be adjusted upward or
downward after the expiration of the first sixty (60) months of each
rental period (the adjustment date) according to the following
computation: "The base figure for computing the adjustment is the
arithmetic average of the thirty-six (36) monthly index figures for the
fifth (5th) through fortieth (40th) months immediately preceding the
existing rental period as shown in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers for Los Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside, CA/All Items based on the
period 1982-84 = 100 as published by the United States Department of
Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The index figure for the adjustment
date is the arithmetic average of the thirty-six (36) monthly index
figures of said Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the fifth
(5th) through fortieth (40th) months immediately preceding the adjustment
date.
"The index for the adjustment date shall be computed as a percentage of
the base figure. For example, assuming the base figure is 110 and the
index figure for the adjustment date is 121, the percentage to be applied
is 121/110 = 1.10 = 110%.
"That percentage of the base figure shall be applied to the initial rent
in effect at the beginning of the then existing rental period and will
continue for the remaining sixty (60) months of the rental period.
2
<PAGE> 5
"In the event the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for Los
Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside, CA/All Items is no longer published, the index
for the adjustment date shall be the one reported in the U. S. Department
of Labor's comprehensive official index most nearly answering the
foregoing description of the index. If an index is calculated from a base
different from the base period 1982-84 = 100, the base figure used for
calculating the adjustment percentage shall first be converted under a
formula supplied by the Bureau.
"If the above described Department of Labor indices are no longer
published, another index generally recognized as authoritative shall be
substituted by agreement of the parties. If they are unable to agree
within sixty (60) days after demand by either party, a substitute index
will be selected by the Chief Officer of the San Francisco Regional Office
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics or its successor.
"Notwithstanding the publication dates of the index, the effective date of
the rent adjustment is at the expiration of the first sixty (60) months of
each rental period. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained here in this Paragraph 2(b), the rent adjustment shall not
exceed seven (7) percent per annum or thirty-five percent (35%) per
adjustment, nor shall the rental rate(s) resulting from the rent
adjustment exceed the applicable rental rate(s) most recently adopted by
the Board of Port Commissioners at the time of such rent adjustment. Until
said rent adjustment can be reasonably determined by index publication,
Lessee shall continue to make rental payments pursuant to this Lease at
the same rent in effect at the then existing rental period. Because of
this provision, overpayment of rents shall be credited to the Lessee's
rental account and underpayments of rent shall be immediately paid to the
Lessor."
(c) In the event the parties cannot agree to the rent for a rental period, the
controversy as to rent for said period shall be determined by three
arbitrators. After notice by either party to the other requesting
arbitration, one arbitrator shall be appointed by each party. Notice of
the appointment shall be given by each party to the other when made. The
two arbitrators shall immediately choose a third arbitrator to act with
them. If they fail to select a third arbitrator, on application by either
party, the third arbitrator shall be promptly appointed by the then
presiding judge of the Superior Court of the state of California, county
of San Diego, acting in his individual capacity. The party making the
application shall give the other party notice of his application. All of
the arbitrators shall be qualified real estate appraisers. Each party
shall bear the expense of its own appointed arbitrator and shall bear
other expenses pursuant to Section 1284.2 of the Code of Civil Procedure
of California. Hearings shall be held in the city of San Diego,
California. The award shall be the decision of not less than two of the
arbitrators. Said award shall be the rent
3
<PAGE> 6
which Lessor would derive from Lessor's property if it was vacant land,
without any improvements thereon, and made available on the open market
for new leasing purposes at the commencement of the rental period under
arbitration. For the purpose of this arbitration procedure, the
arbitrators shall assume that the Lessor has a fee simple absolute estate
unburdened by any existing Lease. In determining what rent Lessor could
derive from said property if it were made available on the open market for
new leasing purposes, the arbitrators shall consider the benefits and
burdens of all the provisions of this Lease to determine whether or not
this Lease is more or less restrictive than private sector or other
governmental leases; provided, however, no diminution in value shall be
taken as a result of any existing Contaminants or improvements, or lack of
improvements, on the subject property, and the property shall be
considered as if it were available to be leased for maritime-related
industrial uses. Said uses shall not be confined to those permitted Lessee
herein nor to Lessee's actual use of the leased premises. In determining
the rates, returns, rents and/or percentage rentals for said use and/or
uses, the arbitrators shall use and analyze only the market data that is
found in the open marketplace, such as is demanded and received by other
Lessors for the same or similar uses as those referenced above. In all
cases, the award shall be based upon recognized real estate appraisal
principles and methods. The award determined by the arbitrators shall be
effective and retroactive to the first day of the rental period under
arbitration. The award shall be in writing in the form of a report that is
in accordance with the powers of the arbitrators herein, supported by
facts and analysis and in accordance with law. The arbitrators shall make
copies of their report available to any ethical practice committee of any
recognized professional real estate organization. The arbitration shall be
conducted under and subject to Sections 1280 through 1294.2 of the Code of
Civil Procedure of California.
(d) In addition to the rentals provided in Paragraphs 2(b) and (c), Lessee
shall pay the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200) per month as rent for the
use of the Lessor-owned building as described in Paragraph 6. Said sum
shall not be subject to adjustment nor shall it be considered in
establishing the rental amounts under this Lease.
(e) Notwithstanding Paragraph 2 of this Lease, no rent shall be charged to
Lessee during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof for Parcel
No. 4, shown on attached Exhibits "A" and "B" unless and until such time
as Lessor determines rent shall be paid for said Parcel No. 4. Said rent
shall be effective thirty (30) days after delivery of a written notice to
Lessee from Lessor that Lessor elects to charge rent for said Parcel No.
4. If Lessor makes the election to charge rent, the additional rent for
said Parcel No. 4 shall be based upon the square foot water rent for
Parcel Nos. 2 and 3 in effect at the time Lessor makes said determination
and subsequent adjustments in rent for said
4
<PAGE> 7
Parcel No. 4 shall be made concurrent with and in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraphs 2(a), (b), and (c) of this Lease.
(f) In the event Lessee is delinquent in rendering to Lessor an accounting of
rent due or in remitting the rent due in accordance with the rental
provisions of this Lease, then the rent not paid when due shall bear
interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date due
until paid; provided, however, that the Port Director of Lessor shall have
the right to waive for good cause any interest payment upon written
application of Lessee for any such delinquency period.
(g) Rentals shall be delivered to the Treasurer of the San Diego Unified Port
District at Post Office Box 488, San Diego, California 92112. The
designated place of payment may be changed at any time by Lessor upon ten
(10) days' written notice to Lessee. Lessee assumes all risk of loss if
payments are made by mail.
4. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS:
(a) On or before December 31, 1993, Lessee shall commence the construction and
diligently proceed to completion of real property improvements related to
the permitted uses described in Paragraph 3. The improvements shall be of
the nature described on the EXAMPLES OF REAL PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS, which
is marked Exhibit "C" and is attached hereto and by this reference made a
part hereof. Lessee shall make an investment for the improvements to be
constructed as described in this Paragraph in an amount which shall equal
or exceed Sixty-Seven Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($67,650,000) hereinafter referred to as "minimum investment." Such
minimum investment is consideration for the term of this Lease, and is not
a portion of the rental obligations contained in Paragraph 2 of this
Lease, and neither such investment or improvements nor any other Lessee
investment or improvement shall be considered by the parties or any
arbitrator (in the event of arbitration) in determining any rent during
the term of this Lease. In the event Lessee fails to invest the entire
minimum investment by no later than December 31, 2015, the term of this
Lease shall be reduced. The reduction in term shall be one year for every
One Million Three Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand Dollars ($1,353,000),
prorated monthly, that Lessee's actual investment in improvements to be
constructed as described in this Paragraph is less than the minimum
investment.
The construction of certain improvements contemplated by this Lease may be
subject to the California Environmental Quality Act and other laws which
may be in effect in the future. If Lessor determines any proposed
improvements are within the scope of any then applicable environmental
quality act and laws, it may then be necessary for Lessor either to
approve or disapprove (and thereby prohibit) the construction of such
improvements in
5
<PAGE> 8
accordance with any such act or laws and other applicable provisions of
this Lease. In the event there is such a disapproval, the cost of such a
proposed improvement shall not be credited toward the cost of any
improvement nor shall the time for completion of any improvements be
extended, waived, or suspended.
(b) No construction of any significant improvement upon the leased premises
shall commence without the prior approval of the Port Director of Lessor,
as evidenced in writing, and all such construction shall be in accordance
with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances and codes and in
accordance with plans and specifications which must be submitted to and
approved by the Port Director in writing prior to the commencement of any
such construction. For purposes of Paragraphs 4 and 5, the term
"significant improvements" means improvements that do any of the
following: (i) make a change in the silhouette or exterior appearance of
the premises visible from any street adjoining the leased premises; (ii)
have an estimated cost at least equal to the minimum amount that requires
approval by the Board of Port Commissioners under any policies of Lessor
then in effect; or (iii) diminish the value of the premises.
(d) By no later than March 31 of each year, beginning with March 31, 1992, and
ending with March 31, 2016, Lessee shall furnish Lessor an itemized
statement of the actual construction cost of any improvements required by
the terms of this paragraph, which were completed during the preceding
calendar year. The statement of cost shall be sworn to and signed by
Lessee or his responsible agent under penalty of perjury.
5. IMPROVEMENTS:
(a) Lessee may, at its own expense, make any alterations or changes in the
leased premises or cause to be built, made or installed thereon any
structures, machines, appliances, utilities, signs or other improvements
necessary or desirable for the use of said premises and may alter and
repair any such structures, machines or other improvements; provided,
however, that no significant improvements, as defined in Paragraph 4(b),
or repairs meeting any of the criteria for significant improvements, shall
be made, built or installed, and no major repairs thereto shall be made
except in accordance with plans and specifications previously submitted to
and approved in writing by the Port Director of Lessor. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right within the interior of any
enclosed building structure to install and/or remove machines, equipment,
appliances and trade fixtures to/from the leased premises without the
prior consent of the Port Director of Lessor.
Lessee further agrees that no banners, pennants, flags, eye-catching
spinners or other advertising devices, nor any
6
<PAGE> 9
temporary signs shall be permitted to be flown, installed, placed, or
erected on the premises without written consent of the Port Director of
Lessor.
(b) Lessee shall notify Lessor prior to making applications for any
development or construction permit or license from any governmental
regulatory agency pertaining to the leased premises. Lessee shall provide
Lessor with a copy of said application within five (5) days of making said
application, along with all plans submitted as part of said application.
Lessee shall provide Lessor with a copy of any permit, license or other
authorization subsequently issued within ten (10) days of receipt by
Lessee.
9. ASSIGNMENT - SUBLEASE: Lessee shall not assign or transfer the whole or any
part of this Lease or any interest therein, nor sublease the whole or any part
of the leased premises, nor contract for the management or operation of the
whole or any part of the leased premises, nor permit the occupancy of any part
thereof by any other person, nor permit transfer of the Lease or possession of
the leased premises by merger, consolidation or dissolution, nor permit
hypothecation, pledge, encumbrance or sale of a controlling interest in the
voting stock in said corporation without the consent of Lessor, evidenced by
resolution, first had and obtained in each instance. It is mutually agreed that
the personal qualifications of the parties controlling the corporation named
herein as Lessee are a part of the consideration for the granting of this Lease
and said parties do hereby agree to maintain active control and supervision of
the operations conducted on the leased premises. No assignment or transfer,
hypothecation, pledge, encumbrance or sale, voluntary or involuntary, in whole
or in part of said corporation or the Lease or any interest therein, and no
sublease of the whole or any part of the leased premises, and no contract for
the management or operation of the whole or any part of the leased premises, and
no permission to any person to occupy the whole or any part of the leased
premises, shall be valid or effective without the consent of Lessor, first had
and obtained in each instance; provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall be construed to prevent the occupancy of said premises by any employee or
business invitee of Lessee.
In the event any consent of Lessor is given for any Lease assignment or
transfer, the following shall apply in each instance: (i) the Lessor shall be
paid additional rent, which may be percentage rate or rates, to equal the full
fair market rent, commencing on the effective date of such proposed assignment
or transfer, unless on that date the rent being paid under this Lease is equal
to the full fair market rent; (ii) the Assignee hereby agrees and assumes each
and every obligation under the Lease, and (iii) other conditions and
qualifications determined by the Board of Port Commissioners of Lessor.
Notwithstanding, items (i) and (iii) shall not apply in the event of: (a) a
Lease assignment or transfer to a third party from a consented-to lender which
acquired title to the Lease by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or a
new Lease pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 10 or (b) assignment or
transfer of the Lease
7
<PAGE> 10
to a consented-to lender by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or to a consented-to
lender or a third party as the successful bidder at a foreclosure sale. The rent
under this Lease and any change resulting therein effective upon any Lease
assignment or transfer as provided in this Paragraph shall be for the remainder
of the rental period during which it occurs, and any said rent shall thereafter
be subject to rental review at the commencement of subsequent and succeeding
rental periods in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2 of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a change in rent is made which becomes
effective upon any Lease assignment or transfer, the rent shall be subject to
any adjustment applicable during the remainder of said rental period during
which the Lease assignment or transfer occurred based on the change in the
Consumer Price Index if such adjustment is provided for in Paragraph 2 of this
Lease; provided, however, the "base figure for computing the adjustment" shall
be the arithmetic average of the thirty-six (36) monthly index figures for the
fifth (5th) and fortieth (40th) months immediately preceding the effective date
of such proposed assignment or transfer for which the Assignee pays additional
rent to Lessor to equal the full fair market rent and the "index figure for the
adjustment date" shall be the arithmetic average of the thirty-six (36) monthly
index figures of said Consumer Price Index for the fifth (5th) through fortieth
(40th) months immediately preceding the date such adjustment is effective.
In the event any consent of Lessor is given to sublease, the following shall
apply in each instance: (i) the Lessor shall be paid additional rent, which may
be percentage rate or rates, to equal the full fair market rent for the sublease
area, commencing on the effective date of such proposed sublease and continuing
for a specified period of time which shall not extend beyond the remainder of
the master Lease rental period during which it occurs or until the termination
of the sublease, whichever occurs first, unless on that date the rent being paid
under this Lease for said area is equal to the full fair market rent, and (ii)
other conditions and qualifications determined by the Board of Port
Commissioners of Lessor. As long as said sublease is in effect, said rent for
the sublease area shall thereafter be subject to rental review at the
commencement of subsequent and succeeding master Lease rental periods, in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2 of this Lease.
In the event the parties cannot agree to an amount that is equal to the full
fair market rent described in this Paragraph, the full fair market rent shall be
determined by the arbitration procedure described in Paragraph 2 of this Lease,
except that the arbitration award shall be for a limited period of time
commencing and ending as provided in this Paragraph and not for a "rental
period" as specified in said Paragraph 2. Until said full fair market rent is
determined pursuant to said Paragraph 2, the Lessee shall continue to make
rental payments as required by this Lease at the same rate or rates in effect on
the effective date of the Lease assignment or sublease. Because of this
provision, underpayment of rent, if any, shall be
8
<PAGE> 11
paid to Lessor within ten (10) days of the date that the full fair market rent
is determined by said arbitration procedure.
11. BANKRUPTCY: In the event Lessee becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or
dissolution proceedings, or in the event of any judicial sale of Lessee's
interest under this Lease, Lessor shall have the right to declare this Lease in
default.
The conditions of this Paragraph shall not be applicable or binding on Lessee or
the beneficiary in any deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument on
the leased premises which is of record with Lessor and has been consented to by
resolution of Lessor, or to said beneficiary's successors in interest consented
to by resolution of Lessor, as long as there remains any monies to be paid by
Lessee to such beneficiary under the terms of such deed of trust; provided that
such beneficiary or its successors in interest, continuously pay to the Lessor
all rent due or coming due under the provisions of this Lease and the premises
are continuously and actively used in accordance with Paragraph 14 of this
Lease.
15. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR: As part of the consideration for the leasing
thereof, Lessee agrees to assume full responsibility for the operation,
maintenance, including painting, and repair of the premises, throughout the term
and without expense to the Lessor. Lessee will perform all maintenance, repairs
and replacements necessary to maintain and preserve the premises in a good,
safe, healthy and sanitary condition satisfactory to Lessor and in compliance
with all applicable laws. Lessee further agrees to provide approved containers
for trash and garbage and to keep premises free and clear of rubbish and litter,
or any other fire hazards. Lessee waives all right to make repairs at the
expense of Lessor as provided in Section 1942 of the California Civil Code and
all rights provided by Section 1941 of said Code.
For the purpose of keeping the premises in a good, safe, healthy and sanitary
condition, Lessor shall always have the right but not the duty, to enter, view,
inspect, determine the condition of and protect its interests in, the premises;
provided, however, that such entry is conducted in a manner to cause the least
inconvenience and disruption to Lessee's operation as practicable, and provided
further that Lessor or its representatives comply with all safety and security
requirements of Lessee. It is not intended that Lessee's safety and security
requirements be used to bar Lessor's right of inspection, and Lessee shall
assure Lessor reasonable access to the leased premises for such purpose. If
inspection discloses that the premises are not in the condition described,
Lessee must commence the necessary maintenance work within ten (10) days after
written notice from Lessor and diligently pursue the same to completion.
Further, if at any time Lessor determines that the premises are not in the
condition described, Lessor may require Lessee to file and pay for a faithful
performance bond, to assure prompt correction without additional notice. The
amount of this bond shall be adequate, in
9
<PAGE> 12
Lessor's opinion, to correct the unsatisfactory condition. Notwithstanding,
Lessor shall not be required at any time to maintain or to make any improvements
or repairs whatsoever on or for the benefit of the leased premises. The rights
reserved in this section shall not create any obligations or increase any
obligations for Lessor elsewhere in this Lease.
19. NONDISCRIMINATION: Lessee agrees at all times to fully comply with all laws
prohibiting discrimination against any person or class of persons by reason of
sex, color, race, religion, handicap or national origin. If the use provided for
in this Lease allows the Lessee to offer accommodations or services to the
public, such accommodations or services shall be offered by the Lessee to the
public on fair and reasonable terms. In complying with all such laws, including,
without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, Lessee shall be
solely responsible for such compliance and required programs and there shall be
no allocation of any such responsibility between Lessor and Lessee.
25. INSURANCE: Lessee shall maintain insurance acceptable to Lessor in full
force and effect throughout the term of this Lease. The policies for said
insurance shall, as a minimum, provide the following:
(a) Forms of Coverage
(1) "OCCURRENCE" form Commercial General Liability covering premises,
operations and contractual liability assumed by Lessee in this Lease in
the amount of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) combined
single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and
property damage. Either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately
to this location or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the
required occurrence limit.
If alcoholic beverages are served or sold on the leased premises, Liquor
Liability coverage in the amount of not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) shall be obtained.
(2) Fire and Extended Coverage, including water damage and debris cleanup
provisions in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of full
replacement value of all improvements located within the leased premises.
The fire and extended coverage policies shall be endorsed to state that
any insurance proceeds in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000)
resulting from a loss under said policies shall be payable jointly to
Lessor and Lessee in order that said proceeds will be reinvested in
rebuilding and/or repairing the damaged portions of the leased premises;
provided, however, that within the period during which there is in
existence a mortgage or deed of trust upon the leasehold given by Lessee
with the prior consent of Lessor, then and for that period all fire and
extended coverage policies shall be made payable jointly to the mortgagee
or beneficiary and Lessee, and any proceeds collected therefrom
10
<PAGE> 13
shall be held by said mortgagee or beneficiary for the following purposes:
(i) As a trust fund to pay for the reconstruction, repair, or
replacement of the damaged or destroyed improvements in kind and
scope in progress payments as the work is performed with any excess
remaining after completion of said work to be retained by said
mortgagee or beneficiary and applied to reduction of the debt
secured by such mortgage or deed of trust and with any excess
remaining after full payment of said debt to be paid over to Lessee;
or
(ii) In the event that this Lease is terminated with consent of both
Lessor and mortgagee or beneficiary and said improvements are not
reconstructed, repaired, or replaced, the insurance proceeds shall
be retained by said mortgagee or beneficiary to the extent necessary
to fully discharge the debt secured by said mortgage or deed of
trust and said mortgagee or beneficiary shall hold the balance
thereof without liability to restore the premises to a neat and
clean condition and then for Lessor and Lessee as their interests
may appear.
(3) Pollution Liability for Underground Storage Tanks
Due to operation of underground storage tanks, Lessee is required to
comply with Subpart H of 40 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) or Title 23,
Division 3, Chapter 18 of California Code of Regulations (collectively,
"applicable UST law"). At the time Lessee is required to comply with any
provisions of applicable UST law requiring financial assurance mechanisms,
Lessee shall provide Lessor with a certified copy of its Certification of
Financial Responsibility. If Lessee's program for financial responsibility
includes insurance, then Lessee's policy(ies) shall name Lessor, its
officers, officials and employees as additional insureds, and, all other
terms of Section (b), below, shall apply. Any time Lessee changes its
financial assurance mechanisms, Lessee shall provide Lessor with a
certified copy of its revised Certification of Financial Responsibility.
(b) General Requirements
(1) All required insurance shall be in force the first day of the term of
this Lease. The cost of all required insurance shall be borne by Lessee.
Certificates in a form acceptable to Lessor evidencing the existence of
the necessary insurance policies, and original endorsements effecting
coverage required by this clause, shall be kept on file with Lessor during
the entire term of this Lease. The certificates and endorsements for each
insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer
to bind coverage on its behalf. The
11
<PAGE> 14
Lessor reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all
required policies at any time.
(2) All liability insurance policies will name, or be endorsed to name,
Lessor, its officers, officials and employees as additional insureds and
protect Lessor, its officers, officials and employees against any legal
costs in defending claims. All insurance policies will be endorsed to
state that coverage will not be suspended, voided, cancelled, reduced in
coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice
by certified mail, return receipt requested has been given to the Lessor.
All insurance policies will be endorsed to state that Lessee's insurance
is primary and not excess or contributory to any insurance issued in the
name of Lessor. And, all insurance companies must be satisfactory to
Lessor.
(3) Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared and
acceptable to the Lessor. If the deductibles or self-insured retentions
are unacceptable to the Lessor, the Lessee shall have the option of
either: reducing or eliminating such deductibles or self-insured
retentions as respects the Lessor, its officers, officials, and employees;
or, procuring a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related
investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.
(4) Lessor shall retain the right at any time to review the coverage,
form, and amount of the insurance required hereby. If, in the opinion of
Lessor, the insurance provisions in this Lease do not provide adequate
protection for Lessor and/or for members of the public using the leased
premises, Lessor may require Lessee to obtain insurance sufficient in
coverage, form and amount to provide adequate protection. Lessor's
requirements shall be reasonable but shall be designed to assure
protection from and against the kind and extent of risk which exist at the
time a change in insurance is required.
(5) Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of changes in the insurance
requirements. With respect to changes in insurance requirements that are
available from Lessee's then existing insurance carrier, Lessee shall
deposit certificates evidencing acceptable insurance policies with Lessor
incorporating such changes within sixty (60) days of receipt of such
notice. With respect to changes in insurance requirements that are not
available from Lessee's then existing insurance carrier, Lessee shall
deposit certificates evidencing acceptable insurance policies with Lessor,
incorporating such changes within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt
of such notice. In the event Lessee fails to deposit insurance
certificates as required herein, this Lease shall be in default without
further notice to Lessee, and Lessor shall be entitled to all legal
remedies.
(6) If Lessee fails or refuses to maintain insurance as required in this
Lease, or fails to provide proof of insurance, Lessor has the right to
declare this Lease in default without
12
<PAGE> 15
further notice to Lessee and Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all
legal remedies.
(7) The procuring of such required policies of insurance shall not be
construed to limit Lessee's liability hereunder, nor to fulfill the
indemnification provisions and requirements of this Lease. Notwithstanding
said policies of insurance, Lessee shall be obligated for the full and
total amount of any damage, injury, or loss caused by negligence or
neglect connected with this Lease or with the use or occupancy of the
leased premises.
(8) Lessee agrees not to use the premises in any manner, even if use is
for purposes stated herein, that will result in the cancellation of any
insurance Lessor may have on the premises or on adjacent premises, or that
will cause cancellation of any other insurance coverage for the premises
or adjoining premises. Lessee further agrees not to keep on the premises
or permit to be kept, used, or sold thereon, anything prohibited by any
fire or other insurance policy covering the premises. Lessee shall, at its
sole expense, comply with any and all requirements, in regard to premises,
of any insurance organization necessary for maintaining fire and other
insurance coverage at reasonable cost.
31. WAIVER: Any waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any
one or more of the covenants, conditions, or agreements of this Lease shall not
be nor be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other breach of the same
or any other covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease, nor shall any
failure on the part of either party to require or exact full and complete
compliance by the other party with any of the covenants, conditions, or
agreements of this Lease be construed as in any manner changing the terms hereof
or preventing the enforcement in full of the provisions hereof. The subsequent
acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease,
other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted,
regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent.
37. REMOVAL OF MATERIALS: Lessee hereby agrees that upon the expiration of this
Lease or the sooner termination as herein provided, it will remove within sixty
(60) days all ships, vessels, barges, hulls, debris, surplus and salvage
materials from the land and water area forming a part of or adjacent to the
leased premises, so as to leave the same in as good condition as when first
occupied by Lessee, subject to reasonable wear and tear; provided, however, that
if any said ships, vessels, barges, hulls, debris, surplus and salvage materials
shall not be so removed within sixty (60) days by the Lessee, Lessor may remove,
sell and destroy the same at the expense of Lessee and Lessee hereby agrees to
pay to Lessor the reasonable cost of such removal, sale or destruction; or at
the option of Lessor, the title to said ships, vessels, barges, hulls,
13
<PAGE> 16
debris, surplus and salvage materials not removed shall become the property of
Lessor without cost to Lessor and without any payment to Lessee.
During any period of time employed by Lessee under this Paragraph to remove
ships, vessels, barges, hulls, debris, surplus and salvage materials, or to test
for and/or remediate Contaminants as required in this Lease, Lessee shall
continue to pay the full rental to Lessor in accordance with this Lease which
said rental shall be prorated daily.
41. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: Lessee agrees at all times to fully comply
with all applicable laws prohibiting discrimination against any person or class
of persons for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap or
national origin and, shall take affirmative action to assure applicants are
employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to
race, color, religion, sex, handicap or national origin. Except during the time
Lessee is exempt pursuant to written policy of Lessor, Lessee shall submit to
Lessor for review and approval a written affirmative action program to attain
improved employment for racial and ethnic minorities and women and during the
term of this Lease shall further make available employment records to Lessor
upon request. Lessee shall certify in writing to Lessor that Lessee is in
compliance and throughout the term of this Lease will comply with Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the California Fair Housing Act, and
any other applicable federal, state, and local law, regulation and policy
(including without limitation those adopted by Lessor) relating to equal
employment opportunity and affirmative action programs, including any such law,
regulation, and policy hereinafter enacted.
Compliance and performance by Lessee of the equal employment opportunity and
affirmative action program provision of this Lease is an express condition
hereof and any failure by Lessee to so comply and perform shall be a default as
provided in said Lease and Lessor may exercise any right as provided therein and
as otherwise provided by law.
43. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Lessee shall comply with all laws regarding hazardous
substances, materials or wastes, or petroleum products or fraction thereof
(herein collectively referred to as "Contaminants") relative to occupancy and
use of the leased premises. Lessee shall be liable and responsible for any
Contaminants arising out of the occupancy or use of the leased premises by
Lessee. Such liability and responsibility shall include, but not be limited to,
(i) removal from the leased premises any such Contaminants; (ii) removal from
any area outside the premises, including but not limited to surface and
groundwater, any such Contaminants generated as part of the operations on the
leased premises; (iii) damages to persons, property and the leased premises;
(iv) all claims resulting from those damages; (v) fines imposed by any
governmental agency, and (vi) any other liability as provided by law. Lessee
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor, its officials, officers,
agents, and
14
<PAGE> 17
employees from any and all such responsibilities, damages, claims, fines,
liabilities, including without limitation any costs, expenses and attorney's
fees therefor. Lessor shall have a direct right of action against Lessee even if
no third party has asserted a claim. Furthermore, Lessor shall have the right to
assign said indemnity.
If Lessee has in the past or continues to use, dispose, generate, or store
Contaminants on the leased premises, Lessor, or its designated representatives,
at Lessor's sole discretion, may at any time during the term of this Lease,
enter upon the premises and make any inspections, tests or measurements Lessor
deems necessary in order to determine if a release of Contaminants has occurred.
Lessor shall give Lessee a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours' notice in writing
prior to conducting any inspections or tests, unless, in Lessor's sole judgment,
circumstances require otherwise, and such tests shall be conducted in a manner
so as to attempt to minimize any inconvenience and disruption to Lessee's
operations. If such tests indicate a release of Contaminants, then Lessor, at
Lessor's sole discretion, may require Lessee, at Lessee's sole expense, and at
any time during the term of this Lease, to have tests for such Contaminants
conducted by a qualified party or parties on the leased premises. If Lessor has
reason to believe that any Contaminants that originated from a release on the
leased premises have contaminated any area outside the premises, including but
not limited to surface and groundwater, then Lessor, at Lessor's sole
discretion, may require Lessee, at Lessee's sole expense, and at any time during
the term of this Lease, to have tests for such Contaminants conducted by a
qualified party or parties on said area outside the leased premises.
The tests conducted by Lessee's qualified party shall include, but not be
limited to, applicable comprehensive soil, emission, or groundwater sampling
test or other procedures to determine any actual or possible contamination.
Lessee shall expeditiously, but no longer than thirty (30) days after Lessor's
request for such tests, furnish to Lessor the results of said tests, sampling
plans, and analysis thereof identifying any Contaminants which exceed then
applicable levels permitted by federal, state, or local laws. Lessee shall
report such contamination to the Lessor within seventy-two (72) hours and shall
diligently proceed to identify the extent of contamination, how it will be
remediated, when it will be remediated, by whom, and the cost of such
remediation.

CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION FUND AGREEMENT
WITH
NATIONAL STEEL AND SHIPBUILDING COMPANY
This Addendum is made by and between the Maritime Administrator (the
"Administrator"), and National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, a citizen of the
United States (the "Party"), as an addendum to that certain Capital Construction
Fund ("CCF") Agreement Contract No. MA/CCF-478 (the "Agreement").
WHEREAS:
1. The Administrator and the Party entered into the Agreement on
September 3, 1988, under Section 607, Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended
(the "Act");
2. The Administrator approved the extension of the Party's commercial
paper program under certain terms;
3. The parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement to reflect the
approval; and
4. The parties hereto have agreed to said amendment and desire to
incorporate the same into the Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, the Administrator and the Party agree as follows:
<PAGE> 2
2
I. Effective July 30, 1997, the Agreement is amended to reflect the
following approvals:
(1) the extension of the Party's commercial paper program with such
approval terminating on a date 25 years from the date of the last deposit into
the Party's CCF account of the proceeds from the construction of a qualified
vessel; (2) the extension of the underlying Liquidity agreement beyond the
current January 9, 1998 expiration date coinciding with the date referred to in
(1) above; and (3) the increase in the Party's commercial paper program level
to $60 million with an over-collateralization range of 11 to 16 percent, such
approvals being subject to the condition that all other provisions relating to
the commercial paper program as approved by the Administrator on May 3, 1993,
remain in full force and effect (which provisions are principally set forth
below, as modified to reflect the modifications in (3) above):
a. Consent is granted for NASSCO Funding Corporation (NFC) to pledge
assets held in its CCF sub-account as collateral for a commercial
paper issue by NFC in connection with constructing CCF qualified
vessels, provided the Maritime Administration is supplied with
specific details of the program when available and that all such
details and related documents are in a form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrator.
b. It is a requirement that the proceeds of the commercial paper be
deposited into the NFC CCF sub-account within the consolidated
NASSCO Holdings, Incorporated (NHI) CCF account or be used for a
qualified project and that CCF withdrawals will not be reimbursed
from the commercial paper proceeds.
<PAGE> 3

c. The funds derived from the commercial paper program (up to $60
million) or securities acquired with these funds would be deposited in
the NFC CCF sub-account within the NHI consolidated CCF account and
that additional CCF funding of up to 11 to 16 percent of the
commercial paper proceeds would be provided from NFC internal funds to
cover shortfalls on the commercial paper resulting from the duration
mismatch between the commercial paper notes and the eligible assets.
d. At the time of withdrawal from the CCF account for investment
in a qualified project, NHI would pay off the commercial paper as it
became due with non-CCF funds and that in order to maintain the
bankruptcy remote nature of NFC, this would be accomplished as a
technical accounting matter within the consolidated fund by using
funds from the NFC CCF sub-account to pay off the commercial paper
as it becomes due and having NHI or the Party simultaneously fund the
identical amount into the NHI/NASSCO CCF sub-account.
e. Pursuant to Section 6(C) of the Agreement, consent is granted to
make a non-qualified withdrawal in the event that there is a default
in the payment of the commercial paper and it becomes necessary to
repay the commercial paper from the NFC CCF sub-account without
counterbalancing CCF funding.
II. The Administrator reserves the right to review his approval of the
Party's commercial paper program at any time after the fifth anniversary of the
date of the July 30, 1997 approval, provided that the Party has a full
opportunity to
<PAGE> 4

participate in such review and that any decision to terminate the program
arising from such a review would not be effective for a period of 12 months from
the date that the Party is notified of such decision.
III. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Agreement, as
heretofore amended, shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Addendum No. 5 in
four counterparts, effective as of the date specified hereinabove and actually
on the 20th day of October, 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations and Financial
Condition and other sections of this annual report contain forward-looking
statements that are based on management's expectations, estimates, projections
and assumptions. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "plans," "believes,"
"estimates," variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements which include but are not limited to
projections of revenues, earnings, segment performance, cash flows, contract
awards and the company's expectations regarding the upcoming year 2000.
Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not
guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties,
which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results and trends may
differ materially from what is forecast in forward-looking statements due to a
variety of factors, including, without limitation: the company's successful
execution of internal performance plans; performance issues with key suppliers
and subcontractors; the status or outcome of legal proceedings; the status or
outcome of labor negotiations; changing priorities or reductions in the U.S.
government defense budget; termination of government contracts due to unilateral
government action; and the timing and occurrence (or non-occurrence) of
circumstances beyond the company's control.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The company's primary business is supplying sophisticated defense systems to the
United States and its allies. Over the last decade, due to a decline in the U.S.
defense budgets, participants in the defense industry began a process of
contraction and consolidation. The company participated in this shift by
changing its focus to strengthen certain core businesses through both internal
and external means. Management continues to focus on developing advanced
technological solutions to meet its customers' evolving operational requirements
and improving its cost structure. Management believes these initiatives have
created efficient businesses that are positioned to capture new programs and
contracts. The company's businesses have been awarded new programs with the
potential for significant production, as well as several important contracts on
existing programs, that management believes will carry the programs well into
the next century. The anticipated defense programs and plans of the company and
of the U.S. armed forces are subject to, among other events, changing priorities
or reductions in the U.S. government defense budget. However, the company's
programs continue to receive bipartisan support in the defense budget. The
Department of Defense's fiscal year 2000 budget request submitted to Congress in
February 1999 included substantially all of the company's major programs.
Since September 1995, the company has invested approximately $2 billion
in the acquisitions of 11 businesses which have been accretive to earnings.
Management believes these acquisitions have strengthened the company's core
operations, expanded its capabilities to include full systems integration and
data management and extended the company's reach both geographically and in
product mix.
[PHOTO]
MICHAEL J. MANCUSO,
Senior Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer
Management intends to continue to implement its strategy to strengthen
the company through core business revenue growth by positioning it to capture
new programs and contracts; continued improvement in operations; and disciplined
capital deployment, including internal investment and acquisitions.
For its potential acquisitions, the company looks to those that address
all or some of the following strategic criteria:
- - offer the opportunity to achieve savings through consolidation;
- - leverage on the company's operating strength and core competencies;
- - broaden product lines and create synergies among business units;
- - provide technology that improves the company's competitive position.
With $220 in funds on hand after the most recent acquisition and the
capacity for additional long-term borrowing, management believes it has the
financial capability to take advantage of potential opportunities.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The company operates in three primary business segments: Marine Systems, Combat
Systems and Information Systems and Technology. Marine Systems designs, builds
and supports nuclear submarines and surface combatants for the U.S. Navy and
provides ship management services for the U.S. government on prepositioning and
ready reserve ships. On November 10, 1998, the company acquired control of
NASSCO Holdings
20 GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE> 2
Incorporated (NASSCO), whose wholly owned subsidiaries include National
Steel and Shipbuilding Company, which is in the business of ship design,
engineering, construction and repair for the U.S. military and various
commercial customers. For a discussion of the accounting for this transaction
and related information, see Note C to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net sales of nuclear submarines were $1,381, $1,321 and $1,443 in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Net sales of surface combatants were $936, $839 and $791 in
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Combat Systems develops, produces and supports land and amphibious combat
systems, including the U.S. Army's main battle tank, other armored vehicles and
a broad range of power trains, turrets and gun subsystems for the U.S. armed
forces and international customers. It also is a leader in the production of
ammunition products. Net sales of armored vehicles were $915, $960 and $889 in
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Information Systems and Technology provides expertise in signal and
information processing, the use of commercial technologies for military
applications, battlespace information management and intelligence data
acquisition and processing within the defense and intelligence branches of the
U.S. government and its allies.
The company also owns coal mining and aggregates operations in the
Midwest, and a leasing operation for liquefied natural gas tankers, which are
classified as "Other."
A discussion of each business segment's backlog position (the estimated
remaining sales value of work to be performed under firm contracts), anticipated
programs, operating results and outlook follows. For a summary of business
segment financial information, see Note S to the Consolidated Financial
Statements which is incorporated herein by reference.
MARINE SYSTEMS
[BAR CHART]
BACKLOG
1996 $7,566
1997 $5,864
1998 $11,728
Year-end backlog includes contracts for the construction of the first
four ships of the Virginia-class submarine, formerly known as the New Attack
Submarine, 13 Arleigh Burke class destroyers (DDG 51), five strategic sealift
ships, and the final Seawolf-class attack submarine. A modification to the final
Seawolf is currently under way. The modification is expected to extend the
company's delivery date of the final Seawolf to 2003.
The company's Marine Systems backlog doubled during 1998 due to several
major awards and the acquisition of NASSCO in late 1998.
In September, the Navy awarded a $4.2 billion contract to the company
for the first four ships of the Virginia-class submarine. The Department of
Defense's fiscal year 2000 budget includes funding for a fifth Virginia-class
submarine in fiscal year 2003. The company is scheduled to deliver the lead ship
of the class in 2004. Construction work will be shared equally with the company
as the prime contractor and Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. (Newport News) in the
role of subcontractor, in accordance with the terms of the Team Agreement
entered into in February 1997 between the company and Newport News. Current
Department of Defense plans call for 30 ships in the Virginia-class submarine
program.
In August, the Navy awarded a $68.5 contract to the newly formed DD 21
Shipbuilder Alliance, composed of the company and Ingalls Shipbuilding, a
division of Litton Industries, Inc., for the first phase of system concept
design work for the next generation surface combatant ships (DD 21). The company
will serve as the Alliance prime contractor for the first phases of the DD 21
program and leads one of the Alliance's two competing design teams. Each team
will share equally in the funding of the first phase award, and both
shipbuilders are expected to share equally in the production of the DD 21 ships.
Based on the Navy's plans, the development, design, construction and life-cycle
support of the DD 21 ships is estimated at $25 billion and includes the
construction of 32 ships over 25 years, beginning in 2004.
In March, the Navy awarded a multiyear contract to the company for the
construction of six additional DDG 51s for $2.1 billion. This award extends the
company's deliveries to 2006.
With the acquisition of NASSCO, Marine Systems added approximately $1.2
billion to its backlog. Included in this backlog are contracts for the
construction of five strategic sealift ships for the U.S. Navy. An initial
contract for $1.3 billion for the construction of six ships was awarded to
NASSCO in 1993, with a seventh ship added in 1997 for approximately $200. During
1998, the first two of these ships were delivered to the U.S. Navy. Delivery of
the seventh ship is scheduled for 2001. Also included in this backlog is a
seven-year contract with the U.S. Navy for the phased maintenance of six LHA-
and LHD-class ships for approximately $500, awarded to NASSCO during 1997.
The company is a member of a three-contractor team which in December 1996
was awarded a contract to design and build the Navy's new class of amphibious
transport ships (LPD 17). Congressional funding was previously approved for the
design and construction of the first two LPD 17 ships. The Navy anticipates this
to be a 12-ship program. If the Navy receives Congressional funding for the
remaining 10 ships, the company has agreed with its partners that it will
construct four ships. Congressional funding for the next two ships, one to be
constructed by the company, is contained in the Department of Defense fiscal
year 2000 budget request.

Net sales increased $355 in 1998 due primarily to the acquisition of
NASSCO and the transition of the ballistic missile fire control business to the
Marine Systems segment from the Combat Systems segment. The operating results of
NASSCO have been included with those of the company from the acquisition closing
date, November 10, 1998. Operating earnings increased $51 due to earnings rate
increases on the DDG 51 program in the fourth quarter and on the Seawolf program
in the first quarter. The DDG 51 program continues to realize benefits from cost
reduction efforts and diminishing operating risks as the business base
stabilizes from the 1998 six-ship multiyear award. The Seawolf program continues
to benefit from diminishing operating risks due to the maturity of the program
and stabilization of the business base due to the four-ship Virginia-class
award. The increase in operating earnings resulting from earnings rate increases
was partially offset by a decline in submarine construction activity due to the
delivery of the final Trident during late 1997.
Net sales decreased $21 in 1997 due to lower submarine construction
activity as a result of the delivery of the final Trident and the first Seawolf
submarines. This decrease was partially offset by increased engineering and
design work on the Virginia-class submarine. Operating earnings increased $18
due to earnings rate increases on the DDG 51 program in the fourth quarter and
on the Seawolf program in the third quarter.
Looking forward, Marine Systems operating margins in 1999 are expected to
approximate those reported in 1998. With the delivery of the second Seawolf
submarine in late 1998 and the award of the first four ships of the
Virginia-class submarine, operating risks on submarine programs are expected to
continue to diminish. Additionally, the DDG 51 program is expected to continue
to benefit from cost reduction efforts and stabilization of business base. In
the first quarter of 1999, in order to align the company's information
technology resources, management moved its Defense Systems operating unit from
the Marine Systems segment to the Information Systems and Technology segment.
Net sales for this operating unit were approximately $140 in 1998.
COMBAT SYSTEMS
[BAR CHART]
BACKLOG
1996 $2,057
1997 $2,323
1998 $1,579
The company enters 1999 in its fourth production year of a $1.3 billion
multiyear contract for the upgrade of approximately 600 M1 Abrams tanks to the
M1A2 configuration. Further M1A2 improvements--the System Enhancement
Package--will be incorporated in the last 240 tanks of this multiyear contract,
with deliveries to begin in August 1999. This contract is part of a U.S. Army
procurement program to upgrade approximately 1,150 of the M1 Abrams tanks, with
production anticipated through 2005.
The company is under contract for the development of several other major
systems, including a three-year $300 contract for the design and development of
the Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV) and construction of at least
three prototypes. Fabrication of the first prototype vehicle began in 1998.
Full-scale production is expected to begin in 2005. The Marine Corps plans to
procure more than 1,000 vehicles in the next decade, a production program worth
as much as $4 billion.
The Crusader Self-Propelled Howitzer program remains the Army's largest
single research and development program; the company's share is approximately 25
percent. The U.S. Army plans to build more than 800 Crusader systems, a
production program that could be worth as much as $13 billion.
Other mature production programs in Combat Systems backlog include
several major components of the Bradley combat vehicle and its derivatives;
Hydra 70 Rocket; diesel engines; and a four-year program to upgrade Fox Nuclear,
Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance System vehicles. In May 1998, the company
received a $106 contract from the U.S. Army to begin initial production of the
Wolverine Heavy Assault Bridge, a derivative of the Abrams M1 platform. The
first vehicle is scheduled for delivery in August 1999, with full-rate
production expected to begin in 2000.
In October 1998, the company's Armament Systems operating unit formed a
joint venture with Mason & Hanger Corporation that consolidated two of the U.S.
Army's ammunition production facilities. Previously a consolidated subsidiary,
the company's Milan Army Ammunition Plant is now part of the unconsolidated
joint venture, American Ordnance LLC. This joint venture is expected to lower
costs and improve overall profit margins on the ordnance production programs.
The company's share of American Ordnance's pretax earnings are included with
those of the Combat Systems segment's operating earnings from its date of
formation. Annualized revenues for the company's previous Milan operations were
approximately $75. The joint venture's backlog was approximately $150 at the end
of 1998.

</TABLE>
Net sales decreased $237 in 1998 due primarily to the aforementioned
transfer of the ballistic missile fire control business to the Marine Systems
segment and completion of production on the Single Channel Ground and Airborne
Radio System (SINCGARS). Net sales for the ballistic missile fire control
business were approximately $120 in 1997. Operating earnings decreased $21 in
1998 due to the aforementioned declines in sales, including the timing of land
combat program
22 GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE> 4
deliveries, partially offset by higher margins obtained from the SINCGARS
program as production was completed.
Net sales increased $483 and operating earnings increased $47 during 1997
due primarily to the acquisition of Defense Systems and Armament Systems from
Lockheed Martin Corporation on January 1, 1997. For a discussion of the
accounting for this transaction and related information, see Note C to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding the results of the acquisitions,
net sales decreased five percent due primarily to decreased tank kit production
resulting from delivery of the last 48 kits to Egypt as part of the
co-production program in early 1997. This decrease was partially offset by
increased activity on the AAAV program.
Looking forward, the company continues to seek improvements in operating
margins in the Combat Systems segment through efforts to reduce costs and
pursuit of international sales, including foreign military sales of tanks to
Egypt, Greece, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. While operating margins are subject to
quarter-to-quarter variations, the company expects full-year 1999 operating
margins to approximate those reported in 1998.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY
This recently formed segment is the result of a series of acquisitions of
technology companies which are intended to provide the company with broader and
deeper capabilities in electronics, systems integration and information
management; extend the company's presence geographically; and enable the company
to share technology across business segments.
In 1998, the company completed two additional acquisitions. On August 3,
the company acquired the assets of Caldwell Cable Ventures Inc., a provider of
underwater fiberoptic and power cable installation. Caldwell Cable Ventures
operates as a subsidiary of Advanced Technology Systems. On June 30, the company
acquired the assets of Computer Systems & Communications Corporation, a systems
integration and communications company serving the U.S. Department of Defense
and other NATO countries. For a discussion of the accounting for these
transactions and related information, see Note C to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. The operating results of these acquired businesses are included with
those of the company from their respective closing dates.
The segment's net sales were $796 and operating earnings were $59 for the
year ended December 31, 1998. Year-end backlog for this segment totaled
approximately $700 and includes contracts at Advanced Technology Systems for
continued sales of commercial undersea fiber optic products and sales involving
light-wave based transmission systems to various government customers. Contracts
at Computing Devices Canada include completion of the IRIS integrated
communications system, sonar integration on the Swedish Hydra program, upgrading
of AWACS display consoles and development of a landmine detection system. At
General Dynamics Information Systems, backlog includes a contract to improve an
advanced radar signal processor used in the Joint STARS airborne surveillance
program. Backlog at Computing Devices Company in the United Kingdom includes a
contract for production work on the Eurofighter program, a partnership program
worth approximately $600 over the 20-year contract period.
The company continues to seek improvements in operating margins in
Information Systems and Technology through efforts to reduce costs. During the
second half of this year, the company initiated internal actions to consolidate
the electronics manufacturing processes of the segment in Advanced Technology
Systems' Greensboro, North Carolina, facility. In the first quarter of 1999, as
previously mentioned, management transitioned Defense Systems' business to the
Information Systems and Technology segment.

In 1997, Freeman United Coal Mining Company (Freeman) elected to withdraw
from the Bituminous Coal Operators' Association (BCOA) and negotiate future
contracts independently with the United Mine Workers of America union (UMWA).
Freeman's labor contract as part of the BCOA expired on August 1, 1998. On
September 11, 1998, the union workforce, representing approximately seventy
percent of Freeman's total workforce, went on strike. On December 21, 1998, the
strike ended and the company reached a new collective bargaining agreement with
its UMWA represented employees. The company believes the terms of the contract,
which extend to February 2003, will provide it with cost savings.
Despite the impact of the strike at Freeman, operating earnings increased
$7 during 1998 due primarily to improved performance of the aggregates business
as a result of improved shipments due to favorable weather conditions and
reduction in cost, as well as cost reduction efforts at the coal mining
operations.
Operating earnings increased $28 during 1997 due primarily to the
suspension of coal mining activity at an unprofitable location in early 1997.
ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased during 1998 due primarily to business acquisitions. As a percentage of
net sales, however, general and administrative expenses have remained consistent
with 1997 and 1996 amounts.
INTEREST INCOME, NET. Interest income was $16 in 1998, down from $40 in
1997 and $59 in 1996 due primarily to a decline in the average cash balance
resulting from the use of $1.5 billion for business acquisitions during 1998 and
1997. Interest expense for 1998 increased over 1997 and 1996 as a result of
borrowings made in connection with the Computing Devices International
acquisition at the end of 1997.
OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income varies from period to period based on the
timing of transactions such as the sales of investments and miscellaneous
assets.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. On March 2, 1999, the company was notified
that the Joint Committee on Taxation approved the settlement of the company's
tax refund claims

for research and experimentation tax credits for 1987 through 1989. The company
expects to net approximately $250 after-tax cash during the second quarter of
1999, including settlement amounts carried forward from tax years 1981 through
1986. The company is presently evaluating the income effect of these
settlements, and expects to recognize substantial income from the event in the
first quarter of 1999. For further discussion of this and other tax matters, as
well as a discussion of the net deferred tax asset, see Notes B and E to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
EARNINGS PER SHARE. On March 4, 1998, the company's board of directors
authorized a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent stock
dividend. Accordingly, earnings per share data has been restated to give
retroactive recognition to the stock split in prior periods.
YEAR 2000. The company has developed an internal Year 2000 compliance
program (Y2K Project), which is focusing on three major areas of assessment,
project planning and remediation with respect to Year 2000 issues (the inability
of date-sensitive software and equipment to properly recognize dates beyond
1999): (1) information technology systems; (2) deliverable software (alone or as
a component of another product); and (3) facilities and embedded processors. The
company is working with its full-time information technology systems partner on
the project. The assessment and project planning phase of the Y2K Project is
substantially complete. The company expects the remediation phase to be
substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of 1999. Validation
testing occurs as systems are remediated and is expected to be finished in the
third quarter of 1999. The company generally develops its deliverable software
to conform with customer specifications. The company is completing its review of
customer contracts and specifications to determine whether any Year 2000 issues
exist. Remediation efforts have been undertaken where requested, required and/or
funded by the customer. Management believes the company will complete the Y2K
Project on schedule and that the costs to implement will not materially impact
results of operations or financial condition, as most of these costs are
expected to be allowable under the company's U.S. government contracts. The
company believes its total Y2K Project costs will not exceed $40.
The company has made inquiries of substantially all third parties with
whom it has material business relationships to determine if they have Year 2000
issues. To date, the company has not been made aware of any Year 2000 issues
with respect to these third parties that would be expected to materially and
adversely affect the company. There can be no assurance, however, that these
third parties have been or will be successful in identifying or addressing their
Year 2000 issues.
The implementation schedule, projected costs and beliefs regarding the
company's Year 2000 issues detailed above are based on management's best
estimates utilizing various assumptions as to future events. There can be no
assurances that these expectations will be realized. Based on the status of the
Y2K Project and third-party surveys, however, the company does not believe there
are any material risks to the company related to Year 2000 issues. The company
believes its worst case Year 2000 scenario, if realized, would involve a brief
slowdown or cessation of production at one or more business units which would
not be expected to have a material adverse effect on financial condition or
results of operations. The company engages in continual monitoring, project
reviews and internal audit activities designed to ensure Year 2000 readiness.
The company has begun, and expects to complete during the second quarter of
1999, contingency planning with respect to Year 2000 issues.
MARKET RISK. The company's investment securities carry fixed rates of
interest over their respective maturity terms. The company does not use
derivative instruments to alter the interest characteristics of these
instruments. The aggregate fair value of the company's financial instruments
approximates the carrying value at December 31, 1998.
In connection with the long-term financing arrangement completed in
September 1998, the company entered into an agreement to reduce the exposure to
interest rate and foreign currency rate fluctuations. The company does not
expect these transactions to have a material effect on the company's results of
operations or financial condition.
The company's foreign operations attempt to minimize the effects of
currency risk by borrowing externally in the local currency and by hedging their
limited purchases made in foreign currencies when practical. As a matter of
policy, the company does not engage in currency speculation.
With the acquisition of Computing Devices International, the company is
exposed to the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value
of earnings of Computing Devices Canada and Computing Devices Company in the
U.K. The company does not expect the impact of foreign currency fluctuations to
be material to the company's results of operations or financial condition.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. The company is required to adopt the provisions of the
standard during the first quarter of 2000. Because of the company's minimal use
of derivatives, the company does not expect that the adoption of the new
standard will have a material impact on the results of operations or financial
condition.
Effective January 1, 1998, the company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 provides authoritative
guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained
for internal use and provides authoritative guidance for determining whether
computer software is for internal use. The adoption of the SOP did not have a
material impact on the company's results of operations or financial condition.
The Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued SOP 97-3, "Accounting
by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assessments," in
December 1997. SOP 97-3 provides guidance to aid in the determination of when
liabilities should be recognized for guaranty-fund and other insurance-related
assessments, as well as requirements for the measurement of the liability and
related recoverable asset. The company is required to adopt the provisions of
SOP 97-3 in 1999 and expects that it will not have a material impact on the
results of operations or financial condition.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
The company's liquidity and financial condition remained strong during 1998,
enabling the company to acquire three additional businesses during the year for
approximately $300. The company ended the year with $220 of cash and equivalents
and marketable securities, a strong balance sheet and the capacity for
additional long-term borrowings. A discussion of the company's financial
condition in terms of its operating, investing and financing activities as
defined in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows follows.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES--CONTINUING. The net cash provided by continuing
operations is summarized by type as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net cash provided by
continuing operations $382 $ 590 $1,157
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
The four types of cash flows are described as follows:
- - Operations represent the pretax cash flows generated by the company's
business segments. Due to the deliveries of two maturing submarine
programs during 1997, cash flows from operations exceeded operating
earnings plus depreciation and amortization for each of the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996. This trend is not expected to continue due to
the production growth on several new programs, including the
Virginia-class submarine and light armored vehicles. Even though the
company anticipates investing in working capital during this production
growth life cycle, the company still expects to generate funds from
operations in excess of its short- and long-term liquidity needs.
- - For purposes of preparing the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows,
federal income tax payments are allocated between continuing and
discontinued operations based on the portion of taxable income attributed
to each.
- - Other cash flows include items that are not directly attributable to a
business segment, such as interest received from investments in excess of
interest paid on debt.
- - In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities," the purchases, sales and maturities of
marketable securities classified as trading are reflected as cash flows
from operating activities. The decrease in each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1998, was due to the company altering its
investment portfolio to include more available-for-sale securities, which
are included in investing activities.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES--DISCONTINUED. Cash flows from discontinued
operations improved during 1998 due primarily to decreased payments for
disposition-related liabilities. For discussion of the A-12 program litigation,
see Note P to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES. On February 10, 1999, the company made an offer to
the board of directors of Newport News to acquire the outstanding shares of
Newport News for $38.50 per share. The proposed transaction is subject to
various conditions, including regulatory approvals and acceptance by the board
of directors and shareholders of Newport News. If the transaction goes forward,
the company would fund the expected acquisition cost of approximately $1.5
billion with existing and new credit facilities.
As previously discussed, the company acquired three businesses in 1998
and six businesses in 1997. For further discussion of each acquisition, see Note
C to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The company liquidated substantially
all of its available-for-sale investment portfolio in order to acquire these
businesses. The remaining fixed purchase consideration of $51 in cash for three
individual stockholders' share of NASSCO common stock will be paid from
available funds on May 5, 1999.
The company commenced a project to modernize the facilities and to
improve productivity at its Bath Iron Works' shipyard in late 1997. The company
anticipates investing approximately $200 over a period of three years.
Construction began in November 1998.
Following the sale in 1993 and 1994 of the company's operations located
in southern California, the company retained certain properties. These
properties have been segregated on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as real estate
held for development. Development work began in 1994 on certain of the
properties in order to maximize the value the company receives from their sale.
In 1998, the company completed the sale of a 232-acre site in the Kearny Mesa
section of San Diego for approximately $80 in cash, and in 1997, received $23 in
cash from the sale of certain other assets related to these properties.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES. In connection with the company's acquisition of
Computing Devices International on December 31, 1997, the company borrowed in
Canadian dollars the U.S. equivalent of $220. The company repaid $70 of this
note during 1998 and refinanced the balance in September 1998 under a 10-year
arrangement.
The company exercised its option to call for the early redemption of all
of its outstanding 9.95 percent Debentures on April 1, 1998, for a total of
approximately $40.
On March 3, 1999, the company's board of directors declared an increased
regular quarterly dividend of $.24 per share. The company had previously
increased the quarterly dividend to $.22 per share in March 1998 and to $.205
per share in March 1996.
In 1994, the board of directors reconfirmed management's authority to
repurchase, at its discretion, up to six million shares of the company's common
stock. During 1998, 1997 and 1996, the company repurchased approximately
600,000, 1.8 million and 780,000 shares, respectively, of its stock on the open
market for a total of $28, $60 and $23, respectively. As of December 31, 1998,
the company had repurchased approximately 4.3 million shares.
The company has the capacity for long-term borrowings and currently has
available a committed, $400 line of credit expiring in December 2002.

GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT 29
<PAGE> 11
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The Consolidated Financial Statements include
the accounts of the company and all majority-owned subsidiaries.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
SALES AND EARNINGS UNDER LONG-TERM CONTRACTS AND PROGRAMS. Defense programs
are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The
combination of estimated profit rates on similar, economically interdependent
contracts is used to develop program earnings rates for contracts that meet
Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1 criteria. These rates are applied to contract
costs, including general and administrative expenses, for the determination of
sales and operating earnings. Program earnings rates are reviewed quarterly to
assess revisions in contract values and estimated costs at completion. Based on
these assessments, any changes in earnings rates are made prospectively.
Any anticipated losses on contracts or programs are charged to earnings when
identified. Such losses encompass all costs, including general and
administrative expenses, allocable to the contracts. Revenue arising from the
claims process is not recognized either as income or as an offset against a
potential loss until it can be reliably estimated and its realization is
probable.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses were
$384, $334 and $275 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and are included in
operating costs and expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
INTEREST, NET. Interest income was $16, $40 and $59 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Interest payments, including the company's finance operations,
were $18, $12 and $14 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Interest expense
incurred by the company's finance operations is classified as operating costs
and expenses.
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES. The company classifies its
securities based on the remaining maturity at the time of purchase. The company
considers securities with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. The company adjusts all marketable securities to fair value. In
general, market adjustments to those securities with maturities less than one
year are recognized in earnings and included as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive income for securities with maturities greater than one
year. At December 31, 1998, marketable securities consist primarily of
corporate debt and government backed mortgage securities.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONTRACTS IN PROCESS. Accounts receivable represent
only amounts billed and currently due from customers. Recoverable costs and
accrued profit related to long-term contracts and programs on which revenue has
been recognized, but billings have not been presented to the customer (unbilled
receivables), are included in contracts in process.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Property, plant and equipment is carried at
historical cost net of accumulated depreciation. The company primarily uses
accelerated methods of depreciation for depreciable assets. Depletion of
mineral reserves is computed using the units-of-production method. Depreciation
expense was $83, $70 and $59 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. Long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles
and goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the company estimates
the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the
asset is held for sale, the company reviews its fair value less cost to sell.
ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES. The company accrues environmental costs when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably
estimated. Cleanup and other environmental exit costs related to sold
businesses were recorded at the time of disposal. Recorded liabilities have not
been discounted. To the extent the U.S. government has specifically agreed to
pay the ongoing maintenance and monitoring costs at sites currently used in the
conduct of the company's government contracting business, these costs are
treated as contract costs and recognized as paid.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. The company measures compensation cost for stock
options as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the company's
stock at the measurement date over the exercise price. Stock awards are
recorded at fair value at the date of award.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Local currencies have been determined to
be functional currencies for the company's international operations. Foreign
currency balance sheets are translated at the end-of-period exchange rates and
earnings statements at the average exchange rates for each period. The
resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in the
calculation of accumulated other comprehensive income and included in the
equity section on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. Effective January 1, 1998, the company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires the presentation and
30 GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE> 12
disclosure of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income was $364, $315 and
$264 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
CLASSIFICATION. Consistent with industry practice, assets and liabilities
relating to long-term contracts and programs are classified as current although
a portion of these amounts is not expected to be realized within one year. In
addition, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.
B. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 2, 1999, the company was notified that the Joint Committee on Taxation
approved the settlement of the company's tax refund claims for research and
experimentation tax credits for 1987 through 1989. The company expects to net
approximately $250 after-tax cash during the second quarter of 1999, including
settlement amounts carried forward from tax years 1981 through 1986. The
company is presently evaluating the income effect of these settlements, and
expects to recognize substantial income from the event in the first quarter of
1999.
On February 10, 1999, the company made an offer to the board of directors of
Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. (Newport News) to acquire the outstanding shares
of Newport News for $38.50 per share. The proposed transaction is subject to
various conditions, including regulatory approvals and acceptance by the board
of directors and shareholders of Newport News.
C. ACQUISITIONS
On November 10, 1998, the company acquired control of NASSCO Holdings
Incorporated (NASSCO). The purchase consideration for 100 percent of NASSCO
will be $369 in cash plus the obligation to discharge $46 in debt. The company
paid $318 of the total consideration and repaid the $46 obligation in cash
during November 1998 for the portion of NASSCO held by the NASSCO Holdings
Incorporated Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The remaining fixed purchase
consideration of $51 will be paid to three individual stockholders in cash on
May 5, 1999, in consideration for their share of NASSCO common stock.
NASSCO's wholly owned subsidiaries include National Steel and Shipbuilding
Company, which is in the business of ship design, engineering, construction and
repair for the United States military and various commercial customers, and
NASSCO Funding Corporation, a finance subsidiary. See Note M for further
details related to this finance operation. The company made two other
acquisitions during 1998 for approximately $20 in cash and stock.
Effective December 31, 1997, the company purchased the assets of Computing
Devices International, formerly a division of Ceridian Corporation, for
approximately $500, net of cash acquired of $100. The company borrowed $220 in
connection with the acquisition. See Note J for details on the terms of the
debt. Computing Devices International added three new defense electronics and
system integration units to the company, General Dynamics Information Systems,
Computing Devices Canada Ltd. and Computing Devices Company Limited in the
United Kingdom.
Effective October 1, 1997, the company purchased the assets of Advanced
Technology Systems, formerly an operating unit of Lucent Technologies, for
$267, net of purchase price adjustment of $17 received in January 1998.
Advanced Technology Systems is a leading supplier of undersea surveillance
systems, signal processing and vibration control systems and related
technologies for a wide range of applications.
Effective January 1, 1997, the company purchased the assets of Defense
Systems and Armament Systems, formerly operating units of Lockheed Martin
Corporation, for $450 in cash. Defense Systems builds missile guidance and
naval fire control systems. Their manufacture of light vehicles and turrets and
transmissions for combat vehicles was transferred to another operating unit of
the company in early 1998. Armament Systems designs, develops and produces
advanced gun, ammunition handling and air defense systems, and is a leader in
the production of ammunition and ordnance products.
Each of these acquisitions has been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting. The purchase prices have been allocated to the estimated fair
values of net tangible assets acquired, with any excess recorded as intangible
assets (see Note H). Certain of the estimates related to the acquisition of
NASSCO are still preliminary at December 31, 1998, but will be finalized within
one year from its date of acquisition. The operating results of the acquired
businesses are included with those of the company from their respective closing
dates.
D. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
which requires the presentation of earnings per share on both a basic and
diluted basis for all periods presented. Basic and diluted weighted average

=================================================
No material valuation allowance was required for the company's deferred tax
assets at December 31, 1998 and 1997. The current portion of the net deferred
tax asset is $311 and $223 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and is
included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The company made U.S. federal and foreign income tax payments of $108,
$97 and $199 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The company and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) settled refund claims
for research and experimentation tax credits for the years 1981 through 1989 for
approximately $250 (including after-tax interest). See Note B for further
discussion.
The IRS has completed its examination of the company's 1990 through 1993
consolidated federal income tax returns. Unresolved matters for these years will
be protested to the IRS Appeals Division. A refund claim by the company for $78
(plus interest) for research and experimentation tax credits for the year 1990
will also be considered by the IRS Appeals Division. The IRS is currently
examining the company's 1994 and 1995 consolidated federal income tax returns.
Since the company has recorded liabilities for tax contingencies, resolution of
these years is not expected to have a materially unfavorable impact on the
company's results of operations or financial condition.
F. CONTRACTS IN PROCESS
Contracts in process consist of the following:
December 31
1998 1997
================================================
Contract costs and
estimated profits $7,989 $6,382
Other costs 485 410
- ------------------------------------------------
8,474 6,792
Less advances and
progress payments 7,522 6,090
- ------------------------------------------------
$ 952 $ 702
================================================
Contract costs include production costs and related overhead, including
general and administrative expenses. Other costs primarily represent amounts
required to be recorded under GAAP that are not currently allocable to
contracts, such as a portion of the company's estimated workers' compensation,
postretirement benefits and environmental expenses. Recovery of these costs
under contracts is considered probable based on existing backlog. If the level
of backlog in the future does not support the continued deferral of these costs,
the profitability of the company's remaining contracts could be affected.
Under the contractual arrangements by which progress payments are received,
the U.S. government asserts that it has a security interest in the contracts in
process identified with the related contracts.

- -------------------------------------------------
$167 $157
=================================================
On December 31, 1997, the company borrowed in Canadian dollars the U.S.
equivalent of $220 in connection with its acquisition of Computing Devices
International. In April 1998, the company repaid $70 of this note, and in
September 1998, refinanced the balance with a note maturing in 2008. The debt
carries a 6.32 percent interest rate, interest payable semi-annually.
On April 1, 1998, the company exercised its option to call for the early
redemption of all of its outstanding 9.95 percent Debentures.
On November 10, 1998, the company acquired control of NASSCO, which has
several debt obligations. The industrial development bonds are due December 1,
2002, and bear interest at 6.60 percent per annum with interest payable
semi-annually. A sinking fund agreement exists for the partial repayment of
these bonds and requires the company to make deposits semi-annually until
maturity. As the company has prepaid its deposit requirements, the company is
not required to make additional deposits until 2000.
The Title XI bonds are obligations incurred for capital and technology
improvements under a loan guaranteed by the expanded Title XI program of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994. Principal and interest
are payable quarterly through 2001. The interest rate varies based on the
prevailing LIBOR rate.
The company has the capacity to borrow up to $450 under its domestic
committed lines of credit. Of this amount, $50 is available under a credit
facility expiring in June 2000 and $400 is available under a line of credit
expiring in December 2002. International credit arrangements include a credit
facility of approximately $35 expiring in August 1999. There were no material
borrowings under the company's lines of credit during 1998 or 1997.

K. OTHER LIABILITIES
Other liabilities consist of the following:
December 31
1998 1997
====================================================
Accrued costs on disposed businesses $177 $211
Retirement benefits 183 154
Coal mining related liabilities 73 78
Other 210 185
- ----------------------------------------------------
$643 $628
====================================================
The company has recorded liabilities for contingencies related to disposed
businesses. These liabilities include postretirement benefits, environmental,
legal and other costs.
The company has certain liabilities which are specific to the coal mining
industry, including workers' compensation and reclamation. The company is
subject to the Federal Coal Mine Health & Safety Act of 1969, as amended, and
the related workers' compensation laws in the states in which it has operated.
These laws require the company to pay benefits for occupational disability
resulting from coal workers' pneumoconiosis (black lung). The liability for
known claims and an actuarially determined estimate of future claims that will
be awarded to current and former employees is discounted based on the current
rate. Liabilities to reclaim land disturbed by the mining process and to
perform other closing functions are recorded over the estimated production
lives of the mines.
L. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
STOCK SPLIT. On March 4, 1998, the company's board of directors authorized a
two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend,
which was distributed on April 2, 1998, to shareholders of record on March 13,
1998. Shareholders' equity has been restated to give retroactive recognition to
the stock split in prior periods by reclassifying from retained earnings and
surplus to common stock the par value of the additional shares arising from the
split. In addition, all references in the financial statements to number of
shares, per share amounts, stock option data and market prices of the company's
common stock have been restated to give effect to the stock split.
AUTHORIZED STOCK. The authorized capital stock of the company consists of
200 million shares of $1 par value common stock and 50 million shares of $1 par
value preferred stock issuable in series, with the rights, preferences and
limitations of each series to be determined by the board of directors.
SHARES OUTSTANDING. The company had 126,693,542, 125,785,554 and 126,204,358
shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
M. FINANCE OPERATIONS
The company owns three liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers which have been
leased to a nonrelated company. The U.S. government-guaranteed Title XI Bonds,
which financed the leases, were retired in 1996. This retirement was financed by
the private placement of new bonds that are secured by the LNG tankers. The new
bonds are callable under certain conditions and are nonrecourse to the company.
Accordingly, in the event the lessee defaults on the lease payments, the company
is not obligated to repay the debt. The 1996 refinancing did not have a material
impact on the company's results of operations or financial condition.
The following is a summary of the comparative financial statements for the
LNG tanker finance operations:

On October 1, 1995, the leases were extended from 2004 through 2009. These
leases are classified as direct financing leases. The lease extension increased
aggregate future minimum lease payments and unearned interest income, but did
not alter the company's net investment in leases receivable.
The components of the company's net investment in the leases receivable are
as follows:
December 31

The company is scheduled to receive minimum lease payments of $31 annually
in each of the next five years.
Semiannual scheduled payments, sufficient to retire 100 percent of the
aggregate principal amount of the debt, have commenced and will continue
through maturity in 2004. The
34 GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE> 16
weighted average interest rate on the debt is 6.2 percent. The schedule of
principal payments for the next five years is $19 in 1999, $19 in 2000, $21 in
2001, $22 in 2002 and $18 in 2003.
NASSCO Funding Corporation, discussed in Note C, is a special purpose
corporation in the business of issuing commercial paper to assist in providing
funding for the Capital Construction Fund (CCF) (see Note N). The shares
invested in the CCF collateralize these commercial paper obligations. The
maximum maturity period on the commercial paper is 60 days. Certain covenants of
the commercial paper agreement require that 95 percent of the CCF be invested in
high-grade government backed mortgage securities.
In addition, on December 31, 1998, NASSCO Funding Corporation had a $20
revolving credit agreement (expiring May 1999) with a financial institution
which provides liquidity in the event that new commercial paper cannot be
reissued to replace maturing commercial paper notes. No balance was outstanding
under the agreement at December 31, 1998.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Fair value is based on quoted market prices, except for privately placed
debt where fair value is based on risk-adjusted discount rates.
Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale were $48 and $30 at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and included primarily government
backed mortgage and corporate debt securities, respectively. The 1998 balance
collateralizes the CCF. Qualified assets deposited into the CCF are designated
to provide funds for the acquisition, construction or reconstruction of U.S.
flag and U.S. built marine vessels.
Such deposits are not subject to federal income taxes in the year the
associated revenue is earned, but are taxable with interest payable from the
year of the deposit for the most recent qualified activity, if withdrawn for
general corporate purposes or other nonqualified purposes or upon termination
of the agreement. Deposits into the CCF are preference items for inclusion in
federal alternative minimum taxable income.
Deposits into the CCF not committed for qualified vessels within 25 years
from the date of deposit will be treated as nonqualified withdrawals. Any income
relating to a nonqualified withdrawal is likely to be taxable in the year of
withdrawal.
At December 31, 1998, the CCF was funded by the marketable securities
discussed above and qualified accounts receivable of an affiliate of
approximately $37. The assets designated for the CCF are restricted.
Other available-for-sale investments at December 31, 1998 and 1997 consist
primarily of $46 of U.S. government debt obligations restricted for payment of
workers' compensation benefits under an agreement with the State of Maine. Also
included at December 31, 1998, are $5, primarily in municipal securities,
restricted for repayment of the industrial development bonds discussed in Note
J, and $4 in equity securities restricted for the payment of supplemental
retirement obligations discussed in Note R. Amortized cost for
available-for-sale marketable securities and other investments approximated fair
value at December 31, 1998 and 1997. For debt and equity securities and
obligations classified as other available-for-sale investments at December 31,
1998, $11 mature within one year, $22 between one and five years, $13 between
five and ten years and $9 had no fixed maturity date.
The proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $274, $612
and $228 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The company was contingently liable for debt and lease guarantees and other
arrangements aggregating up to a maximum of approximately $35 at December 31,
1998. The company knows of no event of default which would require it to satisfy
these guarantees and, therefore, the fair value of these contingent liabilities
is considered immaterial.
O. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION. Claims made by and against the company regarding its consolidated
federal income tax returns are discussed in Notes
GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT 35
<PAGE> 17
B and E. Claims made by and against the company regarding the development of
the Navy's A-12 aircraft are discussed in Note P.
On April 19, 1995, 101 then-current and former employees of General Dynamics'
Convair Division in San Diego, California filed a six-count complaint in the
Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, styled Argo, et al. v.
General Dynamics, et al. In addition to General Dynamics, four of Convair's
then-current or former managers were also named as defendants. The plaintiffs
alleged that the company interfered with their right to join an earlier class
action lawsuit by, among other things, concealing its plans to close the Convair
Division. On May 1, 1997, a jury rendered a verdict of $101 against the company
and one of the defendants in favor of 97 of the plaintiffs. The jury awarded the
plaintiffs a total of $1.8 in actual damages and $99 in punitive damages. The
company and one of the defendants have appealed the judgment to the Court of
Appeals of the State of California, Fourth Appellate District, Division One. On
appeal, the company is seeking to have the judgment overturned in its entirety
or, alternatively, a substantial reduction in the jury's punitive damage award.
The company believes it has substantial legal defenses, but in any case, it
believes the punitive damage award is excessive as a matter of law. Management
currently believes the ultimate outcome will not have a material impact on the
company's results of operations or financial condition.
On July 13, 1995, General Dynamics Corporation was named as a defendant in a
complaint filed in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, titled Hunt,
et al. v. General Dynamics Corporation, et al. The complaint also names two
insurance brokers, Lloyd Thompson, Ltd. and Willis Caroon Corporation of
Missouri, as defendants. The plaintiffs are members of certain Lloyds' of London
syndicates and British insurance companies who sold the company excess loss
insurance policies covering the company's self-insured workers' compensation
program at Electric Boat for four policy years, from July 1, 1988, to June 30,
1992. The plaintiffs allege that when procuring the policies the company and its
brokers made misrepresentations to the plaintiffs and failed to disclose facts
which were material to the risk. The plaintiffs also allege that the company has
been negligent in its administration of workers' compensation claims. The
plaintiffs seek rescission of the policies, a declaratory judgment that the
policies are void, and compensatory damages in an unspecified amount. General
Dynamics has counterclaimed, alleging that the plaintiffs have breached their
insurance contracts by failing to pay claims. General Dynamics seeks a
declaratory judgment that the policies are valid, actual damages and payment of
a penalty under a Missouri statute for the plaintiffs' vexatious and
unreasonable failure to pay claims. The company does not expect that this case
will have a material impact on the company's results of operations or financial
conditions.
On August 16, 1996, plaintiffs HE Holdings, Inc., and Hughes Missile Systems
Company filed an action against General Dynamics Corporation in the Superior
Court for the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. In June 1998,
plaintiffs filed a sixth amended complaint in which plaintiffs were redesignated
as HE Holdings, Inc., now known as Raytheon Company and Hughes Missile Systems
Company, now known as Raytheon Missile Systems Company ("plaintiffs"). On
September 8, 1998, plaintiffs filed a seventh amended complaint which is now
pending. The seventh amended complaint alleges breach of contract, tortious
interference with contract, conversion, fraud and breach of the implied covenant
of good faith and fair dealing, all with respect to the Asset Purchase Agreement
dated May 8, 1992, for the sale of the company's missile business, various
related leases and other alleged agreements. The seventh amended complaint seeks
approximately $25 in compensatory damages, as well as punitive damages and
declaratory relief. The company does not expect that the lawsuit will have a
material impact on the company's results of operations or financial condition.
The company is either a named defendant or a third-party defendant in
certain multi-plaintiff tort cases pending in Tucson, Arizona, captioned:
Cordova, et al. v. Hughes Aircraft Co., et al.; Lanier, et al. v. Hughes
Aircraft Co., et al.; Yslava, et al. v. Hughes Aircraft Co.; and Arellano, et
al. v. Hughes Aircraft Co. The first case was filed in Superior Court for Pima
County, Arizona. The remaining cases are pending in federal district court in
Arizona. In all four cases the plaintiffs allege that they suffered personal
injuries and/or property damage from chronic exposure to drinking water alleged
to be contaminated with trace amounts of the industrial solvent
trichloroethylene. The alleged source of the contamination was industrial
facilities in and around the site now occupied by the Tucson International
Airport (TIA) and U.S. Air Force Plant #44. In addition to the company,
defendants are Hughes Aircraft Co. (now Raytheon), the Tucson Airport authority
(TAA), the City of Tucson (the City) and McDonnell Douglas Corp. (MDC). The
company does not believe that these lawsuits will have a material impact on the
company's results of operations or financial condition.
In other litigation concerning the Tucson site, the company is a defendant
in two cases brought in federal district court in Arizona by TAA and the City
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA). Plaintiffs seek reimbursement of CERCLA response costs and a
declaration of the company's alleged liability with respect to soil and
groundwater contamination at portions of the Tucson site. On September 30,
1998, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) issued a Special
Notice Letter notifying the company that it was a potentially responsible party
(PRP) with respect to contamination of soil and shallow groundwater on and near
property currently occupied by the TIA. Other PRPs receiving a similar notice
were the U.S. Air Force, TAA, MDC and the City. The company has reached an
agreement to settle the litigation brought by TAA and the City and is
negotiating a potential consent decree with the U.S. EPA in response to the
Special Notice Letter. The company does not believe that these lawsuits or the
U.S. EPA's
36 GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE> 18
notice of potential liability will have a material impact on the company's
results of operations or financial condition.
The company is also a defendant in other lawsuits and claims and in other
investigations of varying nature. The company believes its liabilities in these
proceedings, in the aggregate, are not material to the company's results of
operations or financial condition.
ENVIRONMENTAL. The company is directly or indirectly involved in certain
Superfund sites in which the company, along with other major U.S. corporations,
has been designated a PRP by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or a state
environmental agency with respect to past shipments of hazardous waste to sites
now requiring environmental cleanup. Based on a site by site analysis of the
estimated quantity of waste contributed by the company relative to the estimated
total quantity of waste, the company believes its liability at any individual
site is not material. The company is also involved in the investigation, cleanup
and remediation of various conditions at sites it currently or formerly owned or
operated.
The company measures its environmental exposure based on enacted laws and
existing regulations and on the technology expected to be approved to complete
the remediation effort. The estimated cost to perform each of the elements of
the remediation effort is based on when those elements are expected to be
performed. Where a reasonable basis for apportionment exists with other PRPs,
the company estimates only its allowable share of the joint and several
remediation liability for a site, taking into consideration the solvency of
other participating PRPs. Based on a site by site analysis, the company believes
it has adequate accruals for any liability it may incur arising from sites
currently or formerly owned or operated at which there is a known environmental
condition, or Superfund site at which the company is a PRP.
OTHER. In the ordinary course of business, the company has entered into
letter of credit arrangements and other arrangements with financial institutions
and insurance carriers aggregating approximately $410 at December 31, 1998. For
discussion of other financial guarantees, see Note N. The company's rental
commitments under existing operating leases at December 31, 1998, are not
significant.
P. TERMINATION OF A-12 PROGRAM
The A-12 contract was a fixed-price incentive contract for the full-scale
development and initial production of the Navy's new carrier-based Advanced
Tactical Aircraft. The Navy terminated the company's A-12 aircraft contract for
default. Both the company and McDonnell Douglas, now owned by the Boeing
Company, (the contractors) were parties to the contract with the Navy, each had
full responsibility to the Navy for performance under the contract, and both are
jointly and severally liable for potential liabilities arising from the
termination. As a consequence of the termination for default, the Navy demanded
that the contractors repay $1,352 in unliquidated progress payments, but agreed
to defer collection of the amount pending a decision by the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims on the contractors' appeal of the termination for default, or a
negotiated settlement.
The contractors filed a complaint on June 7, 1991, in the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims contesting the default termination. The suit, in effect, seeks to
convert the termination for default to a termination for convenience of the U.S.
government and seeks other legal relief. A trial on Count XVII of the complaint,
which relates to the propriety of the process used in terminating the contract
for default, was concluded in October 1993. In December 1994, the court issued
an order vacating the termination for default. On December 19, 1995, following
further proceedings, the court issued an order converting the termination for
default to a termination for convenience.
On February 23, 1998, a final judgment was entered in favor of the
contractors for $1,200 plus interest. The U.S. government filed an appeal in
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The U.S. government seeks
reversal of the judgment and a remand to the trial court for a full trial on
the merits. The appeal has been briefed and argued. Final resolution of the
A-12 litigation will depend on the outcome of the appeal and further
proceedings in the trial court, if any. The company has not recognized any
claim revenue from the Navy.
The company has fully reserved the contracts in process balance associated
with the A-12 program and has accrued the company's estimated termination
liabilities, and the liability associated with pursuing the litigation through
the appeals process. In the unlikely event that the court's decision converting
the termination to a termination for convenience is reversed on appeal and the
contractors are ultimately found to be in default of the A-12 contract and are
required to repay all unliquidated progress payments, additional losses of
approximately $675, plus interest, may be recognized by the company. The company
believes the possibility of this result is remote.
Q. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
Under the 1997 Incentive Compensation Plan, the company may grant awards in
combination of cash, common stock, stock options and restricted stock. The plan
complies with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 16b-3 and with the
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).
In October 1993, the company introduced a long-term incentive program which
granted stock options and restricted stock. The stock options are exercisable at
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant generally with 50
percent of the stock options vesting on the one-year anniversary of their grant
and the remaining 50 percent vesting on the two-year anniversary of their grant.
The stock options have a maximum term of five years. The restricted stock has a
feature that will increase or decrease the number of shares initially granted
based on movement in the company's stock price from the date of grant to the end
of a specific performance period (generally 18 to 24 months). Once the number
GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT 37
<PAGE> 19
granted has been adjusted, restrictions will continue to be imposed for an
additional two years, at which time all restrictions will lapse. Prior to
October 1993, stock options granted under the company's incentive compensation
plans were awarded for a maximum term of ten years and were exercisable in their
entirety beginning 18 months after the date of award.
There were 507,340, 345,860 and 91,546 shares of restricted stock awarded
in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. There were 1,219,535 shares of restricted
stock outstanding at December 31, 1998. Information with respect to stock
options is as follows:

R. RETIREMENT PLANS
PENSION. The company has 14 trusteed, noncontributory, qualified defined benefit
pension plans covering substantially all employees. Under certain of the plans,
benefits are primarily a function of both the employee's years of service and
level of
38 GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE> 20
compensation, while under other plans, benefits are a function primarily of
years of service.
It is the company's policy to fund the plans to the maximum extent
deductible under existing federal income tax regulations. Such contributions are
intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but
also for those expected to be earned in the future.
The change in the company's benefit obligation is as follows:

</TABLE>
Under SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," the company is
required to assume a discount rate at which the obligation could be currently
settled. Reflecting the movement in interest rates, the company decreased its
discount rate assumption from 7.25 percent to 6.75 percent at December 31, 1998,
which increased the projected benefit obligation $210.
Changes in prior service cost resulting from plan amendments are amortized
on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees
expected to receive benefits under the plan.
Included in the company's prepaid pension cost is a net asset of $149 and
$136 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, related to the company's
commercial pension plan. The commercial prepaid pension cost is included in
other noncurrent assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The company's contractual arrangements with the U.S. government provide for
the recovery of contributions to the company's government plans. Historically,
the amount contributed to these plans, charged to contracts and included in net
sales has exceeded the net periodic pension cost included in operating costs and
expenses as determined under SFAS 87. Therefore, the company has deferred
recognition of earnings resulting from the difference between contributions
GENERAL DYNAMICS 1998 ANNUAL REPORT 39
<PAGE> 21
and net periodic pension cost to provide better matching of revenues and
expenses. Similarly, pension settlements and curtailments under the government
plans have also been deferred. As the U.S. government will receive an equitable
interest in the excess assets of a government pension plan in the event of plan
termination, the aforementioned deferrals have been classified against the
prepaid pension cost related to the government plans resulting in the
recognition of no net asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At December 31, 1998, approximately 55 percent of the plans' assets are
invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, 30 percent in
diversified U.S. common stocks, 12 percent in mortgage-backed securities and 3
percent in diversified U.S. corporate debt securities.
In addition to the qualified defined benefit plans, the company provides
eligible employees the opportunity to participate in defined contribution
savings plans that permit contributions on both a pretax and after-tax basis.
Generally, salaried employees and certain hourly employees are eligible to
participate upon commencement of employment with the company. Under most plans,
the employee may contribute to various investment alternatives, including
investment in the company's common stock. In certain of the plans, the company
matches a portion of the employees' contributions with contributions to a fund
which invests in the company's common stock. The company's contributions to the
defined contribution plans amounted to $37, $27 and $22 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increase in 1998 over 1997 contributions is primarily
attributable to the acquisitions discussed in Note C. Approximately 13 and 12
million shares of the company's common stock were held by the defined
contribution plans at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The company also sponsors several unfunded non-qualified supplemental
executive plans that provide participants with additional benefits, including
any excess of such benefits over limits imposed on qualified plans by federal
law. The recorded liability and expense related to these plans are not material
to the company's results of operations and financial condition.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS. The company maintains plans providing
postretirement health care coverage for many of its current and former
employees. Postretirement life insurance benefits are also provided to certain
retirees. These benefits vary by employment status, age, service and salary
level at retirement. The coverage provided and the extent to which the retirees
share in the cost of the program vary throughout the company. Both health and
life insurance benefits are provided only to those employees who retire directly
from the service of the company and not to those who terminate service/seniority
prior to eligibility for retirement.
The company established and began funding a Voluntary Employee's
Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust in 1992 for certain plans in an amount
approximately equal to their related annual net periodic postretirement benefit
cost. The remaining plans are primarily funded as claims are received.
The change in the company's benefit obligation is as follows:

As previously stated, the company decreased its discount rate assumption
from 7.25 percent to 6.75 percent at December 31, 1998, which increased the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $32.
The health care cost trend rates are assumed to gradually decline to 4.5
percent and 5 percent for post-65 and pre-65 claim groups, respectively, in the
year 2002 and thereafter over the projected payout period of the benefits.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the
amounts reported for the health care plans. A one-percentage-point change in
assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

</TABLE>
At December 31, 1998, approximately 57 percent of the trusts' assets were
invested in diversified U.S. common stocks, 5 percent in mortgage-backed
securities, 25 percent in securities of the U.S. government and its agencies and
13 percent in diversified U.S. corporate debt securities.
The company's contractual arrangements with the U.S. government provide for
the recovery of contributions to a VEBA, and for non-funded plans, for costs
based on claims paid. The net periodic postretirement benefit cost exceeds the
company's cost currently allocable to contracts. To the extent the company has
contracts in backlog sufficient to recover the excess cost, the company is
deferring the charge in contracts in process until such time that the cost is
allocable to contracts.

S. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The company's primary business is supplying sophisticated defense systems to the
United States and its allies. Management has chosen to organize its business
segments in accordance with several factors, including a combination of the
nature of products and services offered, the nature of the production processes
and the class of customer for the company's products. Operating segments are
aggregated for reporting purposes consistent with these criteria. Management
measures its segments' profit based primarily on operating earnings. As such,
net interest and other income items have not been allocated to the company's
segments. For a further description of the company's business segments, see
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations and Financial
Condition.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
To the Shareholders of General Dynamics Corporation:
The management of General Dynamics Corporation is responsible for the
consolidated financial statements and all related financial information
contained in this report. The financial statements, which include amounts based
on estimates and judgments, have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
The company maintains a system of internal accounting controls designed and
intended to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, that
transactions are executed and recorded in accordance with management's
authorization and that accountability for assets is maintained. An environment
that establishes an appropriate level of control consciousness is maintained and
monitored by management. An important element of the monitoring process is an
internal audit program that independently assesses the effectiveness of the
control environment.
The Audit and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the board of directors,
which is composed of four outside directors, meets periodically and, when
appropriate, separately with the independent auditors, management and internal
audit to review the activities of each.
The financial statements have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP,
independent public accountants, whose report follows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To General Dynamics Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of General Dynamics
Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the related Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Shareholders'
Equity and Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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

in all material respects, the financial position of General Dynamics Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
