          Item 1.   Business.

          Overview

               Avondale is one of the largest shipbuilders
          in the United States, specializing in the design,
          construction, conversion, repair and modernization
          of various types of ocean-going vessels for the
          military and commercial markets.  A majority of
          Avondale's contracts in recent years has been for
          the construction of U.S. Navy surface ships,
          although it secured a large commercial contract in
          1995 for the construction and conversion of
          double-hulled product carriers.  Management
          believes the Company's low cost structure,
          experienced and skilled work force, technological
          capabilities, sophisticated construction processes
          and extensive experience gained in building
          a variety of military and commercial vessels
          position the Company as one of the most cost-
          efficient and versatile shipbuilders in the
          United States.  At December 31, 1996, the
          Company's shipbuilding backlog (the "firm
          backlog") was approximately $1.8 billion
          (including estimated contract escalation),
          exclusive of unexercised options aggregating $1.1
          billion held by the U.S. Navy for additional ship
          orders (including estimated contract escalation).

               In December 1996, an alliance led by the
          Company was awarded a contract to construct the
          first of an anticipated 12 vessels under the U.S.
          Navy's LPD-17 program.  The contract award
          provides for options exercisable by the U.S. Navy
          for two additional LPD vessels to be built by the
          alliance.  Management believes that by securing
          the LPD-17 contract the Company has continued to
          demonstrate its ability to compete successfully
          for U.S. Navy contracts based on the high level of
          its technical, engineering and production skills,
          as well as its cost efficient production methods.
          In addition, the backlog created from the LPD-17
          contract is a strong foundation that will allow
          the Company to compete aggressively for other
          shipbuilding opportunities, particularly in the
          commercial markets.  Upon the announcement of the
          award the unsuccessful bidder filed a protest
          which is being reviewed by the GAO and the U.S.
          Navy issued a stop-work order pending the
          resolution of the protest.  Management expects the
          GAO decision by mid-April 1997 and anticipates
          beginning design work immediately if a favorable
          decision is received.  For additional information
          on the LPD-17 award, see "-U.S. Government."

               Historical Information.  Avondale is a
          versatile shipyard that has been the successful
<PAGE>
          bidder for a variety of marine construction
          projects. Organized in 1938, Avondale first began
          building ocean-going ships in the 1950s. From 1959
          to 1985, the Company was operated as a subsidiary
          of Ogden Corporation, a diversified New York Stock
          Exchange listed company headquartered in New York,
          New York. Prior to the 1980s, Avondale built both
          military and commercial vessels. In addition to
          the construction of 27 destroyer escorts for the
          U.S. Navy, Avondale successfully completed a
          variety of construction projects during that
          period, including general cargo and multi-product
          carriers, such as LASH vessels, container vessels,
          crude oil tankers and product carriers. In the
          early 1980s, however, several measures were
          implemented that changed the marine construction
          industry significantly. The termination of the
          U.S. construction-differential subsidy program in
          1981 significantly curtailed the ability of U.S.
          shipyards to compete successfully for
          international commercial shipbuilding contracts
          with foreign shipyards, many of which are heavily
          subsidized by their governments. The effects of
          the elimination of these subsidies were largely
          offset, however, by the initiative to expand the
          U.S. Navy fleet to 600 ships, thereby
          significantly increasing the U.S. Navy
          shipbuilding opportunities available to Avondale.

               Initially, Avondale capitalized on the U.S.
          Navy shipbuilding opportunities through its
          construction of five AOs during the early 1980s.
          Since AOs are essentially oil tankers modified to
          meet certain military requirements, they were a
          natural extension of the product carrier vessels
          previously built by Avondale.

               During the remainder of the 1980s and the
          first part of this decade, Avondale steadily
          expanded the range of vessels that it built for
          the U.S. Navy. The Company principally focused on
          those vessels that were related to, or natural
          extensions of, predecessor vessels constructed by
          Avondale, where Avondale could best capitalize on
          its prior experience and proven capabilities.
          Among the U.S. Navy vessels built or under
          construction during this period were 16 T-AOs,
          five LSDs, four LSD-CVs, five AOJs (which
          constituted conversions of AOs previously built by
          Avondale), one T-AGS 45, 15 LCACs, four MHCs and
          three SL 7 conversions.

               With the end of the Cold War, and the
          pressure of domestic budget constraints, spending
          for new vessel construction by the U.S. Navy has
          been substantially reduced, with the rate of new
          vessel construction reduced to approximately 50%
          of that in the 1980s. Despite the contraction in
          U.S. Navy shipbuilding activity, management
<PAGE>
          believes that Avondale's versatility has been a
          significant factor in its successful efforts to
          restore its backlog, which efforts have also been
          bolstered by Avondale's experience in building
          vessels comparable to those currently in demand.

               U.S. Government.  In addition to the contract
          award by the U.S. Navy to build the first LPD-17
          vessel, the alliance was awarded options,
          exercisable by the U.S. Navy, for two additional
          ships of the LPD-17 class.  It is expected that a
          total of 12 vessels will be built under the LPD-17
          program.  The members of the alliance, Bath,
          Hughes and the Company submitted a joint bid with
          the Company as the prime contractor.  Under the
          terms of an agreement between the alliance
          members, the Company will build the vessel covered
          by the December 1996 contract, and if the U.S.
          Navy exercises the two options, the Company would
          also construct the second and Bath would construct
          the third of the three LPD-17 vessels.  Hughes
          will be responsible for total ship integration and
          the alliance will use Intergraph technology for
          the design and manufacture of the ship.

               The first three vessels of the LPD-17 program
          will be built pursuant to a cost-plus-award fee
          contract, with the Company, Hughes and Bath being
          entitled to reimbursement for their respective
          allowable costs in performing the contracts as
          such costs are incurred.  The contract provides
          for the payment of an award fee to the members of
          the alliance, the amount of which is dependent
          upon the results of periodic evaluations of
          contract performance.  The maximum award fee to be
          earned is 10% of the bid cost for the LPD-17
          contract, and it is anticipated that any award fee
          granted will be paid incrementally upon completion
          of each periodic evaluation.  Pursuant to the
          subcontracting agreements entered into between the
          Company and each of Bath and Hughes, any award
          fees earned by the alliance will be distributed to
          the alliance members in proportion to each
          member's performance and participation in the
          construction of the vessel for which the award was
          granted.  Unlike the Company's other principal
          shipbuilding contracts, where profits are
          recognized under the percentage-of-completion
          method of accounting, the Company will record
          profit on the LPD-17 contract upon award of any
          incremental fee.  In addition, although the LPD-17
          contract is on a cost-plus-award fee basis, the
          ability of Avondale to realize any incremental
          award fee is dependent not only upon its ability
          to perform its contractual obligations but also
          the satisfactory performance by other members of
          the team.

               In accordance with the U.S. Navy's
<PAGE>
          requirement of a streamlined contractual
          relationship, the alliance's agreement provides
          that the Company will act as the prime contractor
          for all three vessels, and as such, the Company
          will be responsible for billing not only its own
          costs, but also any costs incurred by Bath and
          Hughes. Accordingly, all such amounts will be
          reflected in the Company's financial statements.

               The Company's backlog at December 31, 1996
          includes $641 million, which amount is the
          aggregate of the estimated cost to complete the
          first LPD-17 vessel and the maximum award fee that
          would be payable to Avondale and the alliance.
          However, a substantial portion of the reported
          backlog for the first vessel is related to work to
          be performed by other alliance members.  To the
          extent that the Company's revenues include costs
          incurred by and award fees paid to the other
          alliance members, the Company's profit margins
          will be reduced.

               If the U.S. Navy proceeds with its previously
          announced intention to construct additional LPD
          vessels beyond the first three, the Company
          expects that the contracts for such vessels will
          provide for a more traditional pricing
          arrangement, such as a fixed-price incentive
          contract or fixed-price contract.

               The U.S. Navy has stated that the LPD-17
          vessels will be important to its amphibious
          operations over the next three decades, and will
          replace a number of ships that will be
          decommissioned as they reach the end of their
          useful lives.  In 1995, Congress appropriated
          $974.0 million for the construction of the first
          of an anticipated 12 ships under the LPD-17
          program.  The award to the Company-led alliance of
          the contract to construct the initial LPD-17 ship
          enhances the viability and competitiveness of the
          alliance in its pursuit of the remaining LPD-17
          ships.  If the U.S. Navy awards contracts to
          construct the 12 ships, the Company would
          construct eight ships and Bath would construct
          four ships.

               Also included in the current firm backlog for
          the military are contracts to construct five
          Sealift ships with remaining contract billings of
          $875.1 million (including estimated contract
          escalation). The Sealift ships, which are designed
          to assist in the rapid transportation and
          deployment of military personnel, equipment and
          supplies, are comparable to other vessels, such as
          auxiliary and amphibious support ships, that have
          been previously constructed by Avondale for the
          military. In addition, the Navy holds an option to
          require the Company to construct an additional
<PAGE>
          Sealift vessel for an additional $240 million
          (including estimated contract escalation), which
          option is expected to be exercised by the end of
          1997.  The first Sealift ship is scheduled for
          delivery in 1998 with the final ship (assuming
          exercise by the U.S. Navy of the remaining Sealift
          option) scheduled for delivery in 2000.

               Although no new major U.S. Navy shipbuilding
          programs are anticipated before 2000, it is
          expected that additional U.S. Navy shipbuilding
          opportunities including a series of ADC(X)
          vessels, a class of auxiliary vessels designed to
          deliver fuel, ammunition and other supplies to the
          U.S. Navy fleet with capabilities similar to the
          T-AOs constructed by Avondale, and the SC-21,
          which represents the next generation of surface
          combatant vessels, will become available
          thereafter.

               Commercial Shipbuilding. Two legislative
          enactments in the early 1990s have significantly
          enhanced U.S. commercial shipbuilding
          opportunities.  The Oil Pollution Act of 1990,
          which requires the phased-in transition of
          single-hulled tankers and product carriers to
          double-hulled vessels beginning January 1, 1995,
          has created a demand (that is expected to continue
          through the remainder of the decade) for the
          retro-fitting of existing tankers and the
          construction of new double-hulled tankers, as oil
          and energy companies and other ship operators
          upgrade their fleets to comply with the law.
          Industry analysts believe that other countries may
          pass laws comparable to the Oil Pollution Act of
          1990, which would further increase worldwide
          demand for double-hulled product carriers.

               In late 1993, Congress amended the loan
          guarantee program under Title XI of the Merchant
          Marine Act, 1936, to permit the U.S. government to
          guarantee loan obligations of foreign vessel
          owners for foreign-flagged vessels that are built
          in U.S. shipyards. Title XI authorizes MARAD to
          guarantee debt with a term of up to 25 years in an
          amount up to 87.5% of the vessel cost, thereby
          enabling shipowners to obtain financing on more
          favorable terms than those currently offered by
          other countries having guarantee or subsidy
          programs for foreign nationals similar to Title
          XI. These 1993 amendments expanded Title XI in a
          manner that has attracted foreign owners and
          created foreign commercial shipbuilding
          opportunities for U.S. shipyards.

               Management believes these initiatives have
          assisted Avondale in attracting recent commercial
          shipbuilding opportunities. In May 1995, the
          Company finalized a $143.9 million contract to
<PAGE>
          construct four double-hulled forebodies for
          product carriers owned by a U.S. shipping company.
          These double-hulled product carriers are the first
          U.S.-flag product carriers built in the United
          States in eight years. The contract is supported
          by a Title XI guarantee by MARAD. The completed
          vessels incorporating the first two forebodies
          were delivered in October 1996 and January 1997,
          respectively, with the remaining two forebodies
          scheduled for completion by the third quarter of
          1997. Avondale believes its receipt of this
          contract was further assisted by its prior
          experience in constructing three double-hulled
          T-AOs on behalf of the U.S. Navy.

               In November 1995, the Company signed a
          contract for the construction of up to six (but
          not less than four) double-hulled product
          carriers. This contract is subject to the
          customer's ability to qualify for and receive a
          Title XI MARAD financing guarantee. The contract
          originally called for delivery of the vessels by
          the end of 1998. However, in April 1996 at the
          request of the customer a modification of the
          agreement was reached to extend the delivery from
          1998 to the year 2000. These U.S.-flag vessels
          will comply with all requirements of the Oil
          Pollution Act of 1990 and will engage in
          transportation of petroleum products between U.S.
          ports under the Jones Act.

               Prior to 1997, legislation was introduced in
          the U.S. Congress that would eliminate the
          competitive advantages afforded to U.S. shipyards
          under the 1993 amendments to the Title XI
          guarantee program. This legislation would
          implement a December 1994 trade agreement among
          the United States, the European Union, Finland,
          Japan, Korea, Norway and Sweden (which
          collectively control over 75% of the market share
          for worldwide vessel construction) negotiated
          under the auspices of the Organization for
          Economic Cooperation and Development (the "OECD
          Agreement"). The OECD Agreement and related
          accords seek, among other things, to eliminate
          government subsidies provided to commercial
          shipbuilders and to adopt a uniform standard of
          government credit assistance for foreign
          nationals. Under these multilateral accords, each
          participating nation agreed not to provide credit
          assistance to foreign nationals in excess of 80%
          of the vessel construction price, and to limit the
          term of any credit assistance to not more than 12
          years. During 1996, Congress adjourned without
          adopting or ratifying the OECD Agreement.
          Proponents of the OECD Agreement may seek to have
          it reconsidered in 1997 and, if such legislation
          were enacted by Congress in its current form, the
          Title XI guarantee program would be modified to be
<PAGE>
          in accord with the uniform credit assistance
          standards mandated under the OECD Agreement,
          thereby eliminating the advantages available to
          U.S. shipyards under the 1993 Title XI amendments.

               Avondale is not able at this time to assess
          whether legislation implementing the OECD
          Agreement will be enacted by Congress or the
          ultimate impact that any such legislation may
          have. Although the OECD Agreement promotes the
          goal of eliminating commercial shipbuilding
          subsidies by signatory nations, there can be no
          assurance that certain safeguards in the agreement
          will not be circumvented or will be adequately
          enforced, or that worldwide commercial
          shipbuilding opportunities may continue to flow to
          foreign shipyards located in signatory nations
          (which may have developed structural competitive
          advantages as a result of their long histories of
          subsidization) or may be diverted to non-signatory
          nations. If the competitive advantages of the
          current Title XI guarantee program are eliminated
          and the OECD Agreement fails to achieve its
          objectives, Avondale's ability to compete for
          international commercial shipbuilding contracts
          will remain limited, notwithstanding the increased
          opportunities that are expected to arise as
          vessels of the worldwide tanker and product
          carrier fleet approach the end of their useful
          lives.

               Legislative bills seeking to rescind or
          substantially modify the provisions of the Jones
          Act mandating the use of U.S.-built ships for
          coastwise trade are introduced in Congress from
          time to time, and are expected to be introduced in
          the future. Although management believes it is
          unlikely the Jones Act will be rescinded or
          materially modified in the foreseeable future,
          there can be no assurance to this effect with
          respect to the Jones Act or any other law or
          regulation benefitting U.S. shipbuilders.

               The Company believes that significant
          commercial shipbuilding opportunities will become
          available during the next five years.  Future
          commercial opportunities include constructing
          vessels with national defense features for the RRF
          and the retrofitting of existing tankers or
          product carriers and construction of new double-
          hulled tankers or product carriers in response to
          the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 which requires the
          phase-in transition of single-hulled tankers and
          product carriers to double-hulled vessels
          beginning January 1, 1995.  Although orders for
          new vessels have not been placed at the rate
          originally expected by the Company, management
          believes a significant volume of such work will
          begin to become available before 2000, with orders
<PAGE>
          being placed in the next two years.

               Technological Innovations.  To assure that
          its shipyard remains among the most modern in the
          world, Avondale regularly reviews and assesses its
          construction and production process. In this
          regard, Avondale often consults with other highly
          successful shipbuilding companies concerning
          advances in shipbuilding technology. In the early
          1980s, the Company was the first U.S. shipyard to
          successfully implement modular construction
          techniques that had previously been perfected by
          Japanese shipbuilders. Management believes these
          techniques were a major factor in Japan's
          dominance of the commercial shipbuilding market
          during the 1970s. Avondale obtained its modular
          construction capabilities and "know-how" pursuant
          to an agreement with Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy
          Industries Co., Ltd. ("IHI"), one of Japan's
          largest shipbuilders, which worked with Avondale
          to change its manufacturing processes and to train
          Avondale's employees. Modular construction
          afforded Avondale significant production
          efficiencies in the installation of ship systems,
          largely due to the greater ease with which such
          systems could be installed in open modules rather
          than closed-in hulls. As a result of these
          efforts, Avondale realized substantial increases
          in labor productivity.

               In addition, in 1994 the Company entered into
          a technology sharing agreement with AESA of Spain,
          regarded as an innovative and successful
          world-class shipyard. After an on-site review of
          Avondale's shipyard by AESA, as well as a review
          by Avondale of current shipbuilding technology in
          other countries, Avondale invested $20 million in
          capital improvements designed to increase
          efficiency by improving production flow. In
          particular, the Company integrated certain
          assembly-line techniques with its modular
          construction processes. To that end, the Company
          has built a covered facility that houses two
          production lines dedicated to military vessels and
          two lines for commercial vessels.  Avondale
          believes that sheltering the production process
          and separating the unit lines will enhance
          production efficiencies and lower unit production
          costs.

               Because the construction of commercial
          vessels, particularly the product carriers that
          Avondale has traditionally built, places an
          emphasis on steel fabrication rather than the
          complex technological outfitting involved in U.S.
          naval construction, Avondale's ability to compete
          effectively for additional commercial work should
          be enhanced by the new assembly-line process.

<PAGE>
               An important element of the award to Avondale
          of the LPD-17 contract was its utilization of
          computer hardware and software provided by
          Intergraph that will permit the Company to engage
          in more advanced three-dimensional ship design and
          modeling than previously used by the Company.
          This technology also provides for sophisticated
          data storage, management and retrieval for future
          projects.  Among its other features, the
          technology permits engineering, production and
          material procurement tasks to be performed
          cooperatively in a teaming approach, thus
          enhancing the efficiency of the design phase.  In
          connection with the LPD-17 program and future
          shipbuilding contracts, the Company will implement
          an IPDE which captures data in digital form at
          creation and then organizes, integrates, maintains
          and makes available such data to all program
          participants.

          Shipbuilding

               The Company is predominantly engaged in the
          design, construction, conversion, repair and
          modernization of various types of military and
          commercial vessels.

               The main shipyard facility, which is located
          on a 257-acre site on the Mississippi River near
          New Orleans, includes multiple building ways, side
          launching facilities, a 900-foot floating dry
          dock/launch platform that permits construction of
          vessels up to 1,000 feet in length and a 650-foot
          floating dry dock principally used for ship
          repair. The main shipyard is equipped to build
          almost any type of vessel other than nuclear
          submarines and certain surface vessels, such as
          ultra-large crude carriers. Avondale also operates
          several other facilities in the vicinity of the
          main shipyard, including its Westwego shipyard,
          which is used primarily for boat construction and
          repair, and its Algiers shipyard, which is used
          primarily for the repair and overhaul of
          ocean-going vessels.  In addition, the Company
          operates a marine fabrication facility in
          Gulfport, Mississippi, which currently is being
          used to construct the river hopper barges.

               The Company continues to be materially
          dependent on the U.S. Navy's ship construction and
          conversion programs. The following table sets
          forth the distribution of marine construction and
          repair activities during the last five years based
          on contract billings. As the table indicates, a
          majority of Avondale's work in the year ended
          December 31, 1996 was comprised of new military
          construction. Commercial new construction
          increased in 1995 and 1996, principally due to the
          construction of the four forebodies and the
<PAGE>
          construction of the river hopper barges discussed
          in "-Other Operations - Boat Division."

           The percentage of new construction for the U.S.
           Navy in 1996 was virtually unchanged since 1994.
           Commercial repair, overhaul and conversion
           decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994, as the
           Company's work on several contracts with a
           private contractor for the repair of Sealift
           ships approached completion. See "-Other
           Operations - Repair Operations."

               Government Contracting.  Avondale's principal
           U.S. government business is currently being
           performed under fixed-price and fixed-price
           incentive contracts, although the recent LPD-17
           contract is a cost-plus-award fee contract. Under
           fixed-price contracts, the contractor retains all
           cost savings on completed contracts but is also
           liable for the full amount of all cost overruns
           for which it is responsible. Fixed-price
           incentive contracts, on the other hand, provide
           for sharing between the government and the
           contractor of cost savings and cost overruns
           based primarily on a specified formula that
           compares the contract target cost with actual
           cost. In addition, such fixed-price incentive
           contracts generally provide for payment of
           escalation of costs based on published indices
           relating to the shipbuilding industry. Although
           all cost savings are shared under fixed-price
           incentive contracts, cost overruns in excess of a
           specified amount must be borne entirely by the
           contractor. Recent contract awards for the
           Sealift vessels, the fourth LSD-CV and the
           Icebreaker are each fixed-price incentive
           contracts.  The LPD-17 contract provides for the
<PAGE>
           payment of all costs that are reimbursable under
           government contracts.  The award fee is payable
           periodically after the Navy's evaluation of the
           alliance's performance in executing the
           contract's performance goals and objectives.
           See "- Overview."

               All contracts for the construction and
           conversion of U.S. Navy vessels are subject to
           competitive bidding. As a safeguard to
           anti-competitive bidding practices, the U.S. Navy
           has recently employed the concept of "cost
           realism," which requires that each bidder submit
           information on pricing, estimated costs of
           completion and anticipated profit margins. The
           U.S. Navy uses this and other data to determine
           an estimated cost for each bidder. The U.S. Navy
           may then re-evaluate a bid by using the higher of
           the bidder's and the U.S. Navy's cost estimates.

               Under government regulations, certain costs,
           including certain financing costs, portions of
           research and development costs and certain
           marketing expenses, are not allowable costs under
           fixed-price incentive and cost contracts. The
           government also regulates the methods by which
           overhead costs are allocated to government
           contracts.

               U.S. government contracts are subject to
           termination by the government either for its
           convenience or upon default by the contractor. If
           the termination is for the government's
           convenience, contracts provide for payment upon
           termination for items delivered to and accepted
           by the government, payment of the contractor's
           costs incurred plus the costs of settling and
           paying claims by terminated subcontractors, other
           settlement expenses and a reasonable profit.
           However, if a contract termination results from
           the contractor's default, the contractor is paid
           such amount as may be agreed upon for completed
           and partially completed products and services
           accepted by the government. The government is not
           liable for the contractor's costs with respect to
           unaccepted items and is entitled to repayment of
           advance payments and progress payments, if any,
           related to the terminated portions of the
           contract. In addition, the contractor may be
           liable for excess costs incurred by the
           government in procuring undelivered items from
           another source.

               The continuation of any U.S. Navy
           shipbuilding program is dependent upon the
           continuing availability of Congressional
           appropriations for that program. It is customary
           for the U.S. Navy to award contracts to build one
           or more vessels of a program to a contractor
<PAGE>
           together with options (exercisable by the U.S.
           Navy) to purchase additional vessels in the
           program. Generally, contracts to build vessels
           are not awarded until funds to pay the full
           contract have been appropriated. However, because
           Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal
           year basis, funds may never be appropriated to
           permit the U.S. Navy to exercise options that
           have been awarded. In addition, even if funds are
           appropriated, the U.S. Navy is not required to
           exercise the options.

               Because its U.S. Navy contracts require the
           Company to have access to classified information,
           Avondale must maintain a security clearance for
           its facility. Among other things, facilities with
           such clearances must restrict the access of
           non-U.S. citizens to classified information. If
           in the future the percentage of foreign ownership
           of the Company's Common Stock is increased to a
           level that could result in foreign dominance or
           control of its activities, the Company would be
           required to implement additional measures to
           insure that classified material would not be
           compromised or risk the loss of its security
           clearance.

               Due to the complexity of government contracts
           and applicable regulations, contract disputes
           with the government may occur in the ordinary
           course of the Company's business. Based upon
           management's analysis of each such dispute and
           advice of counsel, the Company records, if
           appropriate, an estimate of the amount
           recoverable upon resolution of such disputes.
           There are currently no such amounts recorded.
           Although management believes its estimates are
           based upon a reasonable analysis of such
           disputes, no assurance can be given that its
           estimates will be accurate, and variances between
           such estimates and actual results can be
           material. The Company believes that adequate
           provision has been made in its financial
           statements for this and other normal
           uncertainties incident to its government
           business.

               There is significant oversight of defense
           contractors to prevent waste in the defense
           procurement process. Areas of contract dispute
           are reviewed by the government for evidence of
           criminal misconduct such as mischarging, product
           substitution and false certification of pricing
           and other data. In the event the government
           alleges a violation of its procurement
           regulations, it may seek compensatory, treble or
           punitive damages in substantial amounts and
           indictments, fines, penalties and forfeitures. In
           addition, the government has the right to suspend
<PAGE>
           or debar a contractor from government contracting
           for significant violations of government
           procurement regulations. Avondale has never been
           subject to suspension or debarment.

               Vessel Deliveries and Backlog.  At December
           31, 1996, the Company had a firm backlog of
           shipbuilding contracts of approximately $1.8
           billion (exclusive of unexercised options
           aggregating $1.1 billion held by the U.S. Navy
           for additional ship orders (including estimated
           contract escalation)) compared with backlogs of
           $1.4 billion each at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
           The Company's firm backlog at December 31, 1996
           primarily consisted of $186 million to complete
           the Icebreaker, $875 million to complete the
           remaining five Sealift ships and $641 million
           related to the LPD-17 contract.

               Vessel deliveries in 1995 and 1996 included
           three T-AOs, two LSD-CVs, three MHCs,  one gaming
           vessel and one double-hulled forebody. The
           Company plans to continue to actively pursue
           other government construction and conversion
           opportunities, as well as commercial
           opportunities, when they become available.

               The Company also has been actively pursuing
           commercial shipbuilding opportunities, although
           international commercial shipbuilding
           opportunities remain limited because shipbuilders
           in foreign countries are often subsidized by
           their governments, which allows them to sell
           their ships for prices below their construction
           costs. Domestic shipbuilding opportunities that
           are not affected by foreign subsidies offer
           better possibilities for the Company. See
           "-Overview - Commercial Shipbuilding."

               In connection with the bids and proposals
           that the Company has submitted or plans to submit
           to various commercial and government customers,
           no assurance can be given that the Company will
           be the successful bidder or that the vessels bid
           on will actually be built.

           Other Operations

               Overview.  Although the Company has from time
           to time, on a limited basis, pursued
           opportunities to diversify its business,
           management strongly believes that the Company's
           resources are most profitably employed in marine
           construction. As noted in "Management's
           Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
           and Results of Operations," in order to focus on
           its core shipbuilding business and improve
           liquidity, the Company sold or discontinued
           certain of its non-core operations. The Company
<PAGE>
           will continue to evaluate suitable
           diversification opportunities, principally those
           that would not detract from Avondale's core
           business and that would utilize the Company's
           existing facilities. Among possible
           diversification opportunities are: (i) the
           construction of large industrial facilities
           utilizing modular shipbuilding expertise and
           project management experience; (ii) the repair
           and overhaul of U.S. Navy and commercial vessels;
           (iii) the construction of semi-submersible rigs,
           tension-leg platforms or similar structures used
           in the offshore oil and gas industry (which the
           Company has constructed from time to time in the
           past); and (iv) steel fabrication and other
           operations.

               Modular Construction.  The Company has been
           able to apply its modular construction methods to
           a variety of non-marine industrial fabrication
           projects, including a sulphur recovery plant that
           was shipped to Saudi Arabia for on-site assembly
           and installation, two cryogenic gas separation
           systems, two waste disposal units, six turbine
           compressors and turbine generators, six condenser
           modules for inclusion in a nuclear power plant
           and two sled and receiver modules for sub-sea
           pipeline connections. The Company has also
           fabricated steel bridges and a hydroelectric
           power plant that was floated up the Mississippi
           River and installed in Vidalia, Louisiana in
           1990. In 1992, the Company delivered to the City
           of New York an 800-bed floating detention
           facility that is 625 feet long, 125 feet wide and
           five stories high.   Sales to unrelated third
           parties for the years ended December 31, 1996,
           1995 and 1994 were $8.5 million, $9.8 million and
           $10.3 million, respectively.

               Avondale's modular construction division has
           not engaged in any significant projects since the
           floating detention center was delivered in the
           early 1990s. Although at present there is a
           minimal level of production activity in this
           division, Avondale will continue to pursue
           non-shipbuilding marine and industrial-commercial
           projects suitable for modular construction as
           attractive opportunities arise.

               Boat Division. The Company has a facility
           equipped for boat construction at its Westwego,
           Louisiana shipyard that is capable of building
           vessels up to 450 feet in length, as well as a
           facility in Gulfport, Mississippi.   In 1994 and
           1995, the Boat Division delivered three gaming
           vessels ranging from 210 to 350 feet in length.
           In 1996, the division was primarily engaged in
           the construction of river hopper barges under a
           contract signed in 1995 with the Ingram Ohio
<PAGE>
           Barge Company. The Boat Division is actively
           pursuing other projects, including the
           construction of additional gaming boats as well
           as passenger vessels and ferries, towboats and
           other vessels. The Boat Division's backlog at
           December 31, 1996, 1995, 1994 was approximately
           $11.9 million, $18.8 million and $18.3 million,
           respectively.  Sales to unrelated third parties
           for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
           1994 were $10.2 million, $29.4 million and $40.6
           million, respectively.

               Steel Operations. Through its Steel Sales
           operation, Avondale sells steel plate and
           structural steel to the marine and industrial
           markets in the Gulf Coast region of the United
           States. Net sales to other Avondale divisions are
           not significant. Sales to unrelated third parties
           for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
           1994 were approximately $40.1 million, $28.2
           million and $22.4 million, respectively.

               Repair Operations. At its main shipyard and
           the Algiers shipyard, Avondale engages in the
           repair, overhaul and conversion of ocean-going
           vessels. With the 900 and 650 foot drydocks
           located at the Company's main shipyard, the
           Company is capable of offering a complete range
           of vessel repairs and overhaul services. The
           Algiers shipyard is operated under a long-term
           lease and is designed primarily for the topside
           repair and overhaul of large ocean-going vessels.
           Although historically Avondale has engaged in the
           repair and overhaul of U.S. Navy vessels, these
           opportunities have been curtailed by the U.S.
           Navy's current policy of requiring such work to
           be conducted at or near the vessels' home ports.
           Sales to unrelated third parties for the years
           ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $13.5
           million, $27.3 million and $30.3 million,
           respectively.

           Competition

               The shipbuilding industry is divided into two
           distinct markets, U.S. government contracts,
           which is dominated by contracts for the U.S.
           Navy, and domestic and international shipbuilding
           contracts for commercial customers. The reduced
           level of shipbuilding activity by the U.S.
           government during the past decade has intensified
           competition significantly. With respect to the
           market for U.S. military contracts, there are
           principally five private U.S. shipyards,
           including Avondale, that compete for contracts to
           construct or convert surface vessels. Two of
           these companies are subsidiaries of much larger
           corporations that have substantially greater
           resources than Avondale.
<PAGE>
               With respect to commercial vessels that must
           be constructed by a U.S. shipyard under the Jones
           Act, there are approximately 20 private U.S.
           shipyards that can accommodate the construction
           of vessels up to 400 feet in length, ten of which
           Avondale considers to be its direct competitors
           for commercial contracts. Because of the current
           overcapacity at U.S. shipyards, the current small
           volume of commercial work available and the fact
           that most contracts are awarded on the basis of
           competitive bidding, price competition is
           particularly intense. With respect to the
           international commercial shipbuilding market,
           Avondale competes with numerous shipyards in
           several countries, many of which are heavily
           subsidized by their governments. See "-Overview -
           Commercial Shipbuilding."

               Substantially all military and commercial
           contracts awarded to U.S. shipyards are
           competitively bid. The Company believes that it
           has been successful recently in securing
           competitively bid contracts in large part because
           the Company submitted the most cost-effective
           bids for the available contracts. However, the
           Company believes that its recent securing of the
           LPD-17 award has continued to demonstrate
           Avondale's ability to compete successfully for
           U.S. Navy contracts based on the high level of
           its technical, engineering and production skills
           as well as its cost efficient production methods.
           The Company believes that it will continue to be
           competitive in bidding for selected U.S. Navy and
           commercial shipbuilding contracts in the future.
           However, no assurance can be given that the
           Company will be the successful bidder on any
           future contracts or that, if successful, it will
           realize profits on such contracts.

           Marketing

               The Company's marketing effort is
           decentralized and conducted separately by each
           division. Generally, the Company and its
           competitors are all aware of the shipbuilding,
           repair and conversion plans of the U.S. Navy and
           most prospective commercial customers, and are
           invited to bid on all major projects.

               The Company's boat building and repair
           operations are marketed by the sales and business
           development personnel of the appropriate
           divisions primarily through direct, personal
           sales calls. The services of the Steel Sales
           operation are marketed through industry
           advertising, personal sales calls and prior
           business relationships.

           Materials and Supplies
<PAGE>
               The principal materials used by Avondale in
           its shipbuilding, conversion and repair business
           are standard steel shapes, steel plate and paint.
           Other materials used in large quantities include
           aluminum, copper-nickel and steel pipe,
           electrical cable and fittings. The Company also
           purchases component parts such as propulsion
           systems, boilers, generators and other equipment.
           All of these materials and parts are currently
           available in adequate supply from domestic and
           foreign sources. Generally, for all its long-term
           contracts, the Company obtains price quotations
           for its materials requirements from multiple
           suppliers to ensure competitive pricing. In
           addition, through the cost escalation provisions
           contained in its U.S. military contracts, the
           Company is protected from increases in its
           materials costs to the extent that the increases
           in the Company's costs are in line with industry
           indices.

               In connection with its government contracts,
           the Company is required to procure certain
           materials and component parts from supply sources
           approved by the U.S. Government. Although certain
           components and sub-assemblies are manufactured by
           subcontractors, the Company's reliance on
           subcontractors has been and is expected by
           management to continue to be limited. The Company
           is not dependent upon any one supply source and
           believes that its supply sources are adequate to
           meet its future needs.

           Insurance

               The Company maintains insurance against
           property damage caused by fire, explosion and
           similar catastrophic events that may result in
           physical damage or destruction to the Company's
           premises and properties. The Company also
           maintains general liability insurance in amounts
           it deems appropriate for its business. The
           Company is self-insured for workers' compensation
           liability and employees' health insurance except
           for losses in excess of $1.0 million per
           occurrence, for which the Company maintains
           insurance in amounts it deems appropriate.

           Environmental and Safety Matters

               General.  Avondale is subject to federal,
           state and local environmental laws and
           regulations that impose limitations on the
           discharge of pollutants into the environment and
           establish standards for the treatment, storage
           and disposal of toxic and hazardous wastes.
           Stringent fines and penalties may be imposed for
           non-compliance with these laws and regulations,
           and certain environmental laws impose joint and
<PAGE>
           several "strict liability" for remediation of
           spills and releases of oil and hazardous
           substances rendering a person liable for
           environmental damage, without regard to
           negligence or fault on the part of such person.
           Such laws and regulations may expose the Company
           to liability for the conduct of or conditions
           caused by others, or for acts of the Company
           which are or were in compliance with all
           applicable laws at the time such acts were
           performed. The Company is covered under its
           various insurance policies for some, but not all,
           potential environmental liabilities. See Note 10
           of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
           Statements.

               The Company is also subject to the federal
           Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA") and
           similar state statutes. The Company has an
           extensive health and safety program and employs a
           staff of safety inspectors and industrial hygiene
           technicians, whose primary functions are to
           develop Company policies that meet or exceed the
           safety standards set by OSHA, train supervisors
           and make daily inspections of safety procedures
           to insure their compliance with Company policies
           on safety and industrial hygiene. All supervisors
           are required to attend safety training meetings
           at which the importance of full compliance with
           safety procedures is emphasized.

               Waste Disposal.  Avondale's operations
           produce a limited amount of industrial waste
           products and certain hazardous materials. The
           Company's industrial waste products, which
           consist principally of residual petroleum, other
           combustibles and blasting abrasives, are shipped
           to third party disposal sites that are licensed
           to handle such materials.

           Employees

               At December 31, 1996, Avondale had
           approximately 5,200 employees, many of whom have
           been employed by the Company for many years.  In
           February 1997 the National Labor Relations Board
           ("NLRB") confirmed the results of a 1993
           election.  The Company continues to believe that
           it has substantive and meritorious bases for
           overturning the decision of the NLRB and intends
           to take steps to have the propriety of the
           election reviewed in court.   If the NLRB
           certifies the union and that decision is upheld,
           the Company will be required under the federal
           labor laws to bargain in good faith with the
           union on matters such as wages, hours and other
           working conditions.  Even though Avondale will
           only agree to bargaining demands that can be
           economically justified, union certification may
<PAGE>
           result in an increased risk that the union will
           engage in potentially disruptive activities such
           as strikes or picketing, or that the Company may
           incur higher labor and operating costs.

               The union has also filed numerous unfair
           labor practice charges with the NLRB alleging
           that Avondale has committed a variety of
           violations of the National Labor Relations Act
           principally involving claims that employees were
           wrongfully disciplined or discharged. Although
           the Company disputes these claims and is waging a
           vigorous defense, if there is a finding against
           the Company, depending on the facts of each case,
           the employee would be entitled to back pay from
           the time of his or her claim until the resolution
           of the case. However, even if there is a finding
           in favor of some of the claimants with respect to
           one or more of the unfair labor practice claims,
           management believes that any judgment would not
           have a material impact on the Company's financial
           condition, results of operations or cash flows.


           GLOSSARY OF SELECTED INDUSTRY TERMS
           <TABLE>

                      deliver a steady stream of fuel,
                      ammunition and stores to the U.S. Navy
                      fleet.  It is currently envisioned that
                      these vessels will have "Refuel at Sea"
                      capabilities similar to the T-AOs

                     integrates, maintains and makes the
                     information available to all program
                     participants.

          Jones Act  Merchant Marine Act of 1920, as amended.

          LASH      "Lighter aboard ship," a LASH vessel
<PAGE>
                    carries its cargo in pre-loaded barges
                    (lighters).  The Company constructed 21 such
                    vessels in the late 1960s and early 1970s for
                    five commercial customers.

          LCAC      "Landing craft air cushion," a surface
                    effect vessel that was constructed at the
                    Company's Gulfport facility.  Avondale has
                    built 15 LCACs.

          LPD-17    The next class of amphibious transport
                    ship for the U.S. Navy.  Avondale was
                    awarded a contract, with two options,
                    for the design, construction and support
                    of the initial LPD-17 ships.

          LSD       "Landing ship dock," designed to carry
                    troops, materials and up to four LCACs.

         Item 2.   Properties

               The Company's corporate headquarters and main
          shipyard are located on the west bank of the
          Mississippi River at Avondale, Louisiana,
          approximately 15 miles from downtown New Orleans.
          That facility includes approximately 226 acres of
          Company-owned land with 174 buildings enclosing
          approximately 2.0 million square feet of space,
          approximately 31 acres of leased land, a 900-foot
          floating dry dock/launch platform that permits
          construction, conversion or repair of vessels up
          to approximately 1,000 feet in length, and a 650-
          foot floating dry dock principally used for ship
          repair and multiple building ways and side
          launching facilities.  The main shipyard includes
          approximately 6,500 feet of wharves, 1,200 feet of
          launch ways and 2,900 feet of unimproved
          waterfront along the Mississippi River.  The
          Company's shipyard facilities have the capacity to
          build virtually any type of vessel other than
          submarines and surface vessels of the largest
          classes, such as ultra-large crude carriers.

               The Company's 900-foot floating drydock was
          constructed in 1975 and financed pursuant to Title
          XI of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended.
          The 900 foot drydock is currently subject to a
          Title XI mortgage of approximately $3.1 million.
          As discussed further in Note 4 of the Notes to the
          Consolidated Financial Statements, these mortgage
          bonds were refinanced in February 1995.

               The Company's 650-foot floating drydock and
          support facilities were constructed in 1982 and
          financed with $36.25 million of industrial revenue
          bonds (see Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated
          Financial Statements).

               As part of its program to significantly
          improve its efficiency, in 1995 the Company
          completed an approximate $20 million capital
          expenditure program, financed principally through
          $17.8 million of bonds issued in February 1995
          utilizing a Title XI guarantee (see "Management's
          Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital
          Resources" and Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated
          Financial Statements).  The modernization program
<PAGE>
          included construction of a covered facility, which
          should provide productivity gains by eliminating
          weather-related problems, and adoption of a more
          automated process for building the various modules
          which are assembled into a completed vessel.

               The Company also operates several other
          facilities in the vicinity of the main shipyard.
          The Westwego Yard is located five miles down-river
          from the main shipyard on 16.6 acres of leased
          land and includes facilities for the construction
          or repair of boats and vessels up to 450 feet in
          length.  The Algiers Yard is located 19 miles
          down-river from the main shipyard on 22 acres of
          leased land and includes construction facilities
          used predominantly for the repair and overhaul of
          large ocean-going vessels.  The Steel Sales
          operation is located on 4.4 acres of property
          leased on a month-to-month basis in Harvey,
          Louisiana, where a steel warehouse is located.
          The location has direct access to the Mississippi
          River via the Harvey Canal.  The Modular
          Construction operation, located in an
          approximately 70,000 square foot facility on a 58
          acre Company-owned site a few miles up-river from
          the main shipyard, consists of a complete machine
          shop with steel fabricating facilities.

               The Avondale Gulfport Marine, Inc. ("AGM")
          facility, which is located six miles northeast of
          Gulfport, Mississippi on an industrial seaway, was
          sold in December 1996.

               The Avondale Enterprises, Inc. ("AEI")
          facility is located on a Company-owned 121.5 acre
          site near Gulfport, Mississippi on the same
          industrial seaway as AGM.  The facility includes a
          263,447 square foot manufacturing facility and a
          6,300 square foot administration building.  This
          facility was acquired in 1989 for construction of
          the MHCs.  AEI has pledged a portion of the
          facility to secure a $3 million loan it entered
          into in 1991 to finance a portion of its 1989
          acquisition debt.  Upon the transfer of the final
          MHC hull to the main shipyard in December 1994,
          this facility became idle.  The Company is
          currently utilizing a portion of the facility for
          the construction of river hopper barges and barge
          covers as part of the river hopper barge
          construction contract discussed at "Business -
          Other Operations - Boat Division."

               The main facility of the Genco Industries
          Group ("Genco") is located on a Company-owned 8.7
          acre site 20 miles southeast of Beaumont, Texas.
          The facility includes five buildings utilized for
          manufacturing and administration comprising
          approximately 66,800 square feet.  Genco has a
          smaller facility that is located on a Company-
          owned 3.2 acre site approximately 80 miles
<PAGE>
          northwest of Beaumont.  This facility consists of
          three manufacturing-administration buildings
          totaling approximately 26,500 square feet.
          Genco's facilities became idle in 1994 after
          completion of their contracts.  The Company
          currently has these facilities listed for sale and
          is exploring alternative uses.

               Except as otherwise noted above, the above-
          described facility leases are for various terms
          extending through at least 2000, including renewal
          options.

               The Company believes that its core marine
          construction and repair facilities provide it with
          sufficient capacity to handle any business it
          reasonably expects to obtain in the foreseeable
          future.  In general, the Company's productive
          capacity is limited less by physical facilities
          than by the number of employees the Company can
          effectively supervise.  Management believes that
          the Company would be operating at full capacity
          with approximately 8,000 employees.  The Company's
          core business currently operates with more than
          5,200 employees.

          Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

               Environmental Proceedings.  Various
          governmental and private parties have from time to
          time alleged that the Company is a potentially
          responsible party with respect to certain
          hazardous waste sites, including, among other
          things, the site listed below.

               In January 1986, the Louisiana Department of
          Environmental Quality ("DEQ") advised the Company
          that it could be a potentially responsible party
          ("PRP") with respect to an oil reclamation site
          operated by an unaffiliated company in Walker,
          Louisiana. The Company sold to the operator a
          substantial portion of the waste oil that was
          processed at the reclamation site during the
          period 1978 through 1982. The Company's potential
          liability, if any, for cleanup of this site will
          be based on the Comprehensive Environmental
          Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
          ("CERCLA") or the Louisiana Environmental Affairs
          Act. Under these statutes, such liability is
          presumptively joint and several, but is typically
          apportioned among the responsible parties based on
          the volume of material sent by each to the waste
          site. The Company has cooperated with other PRPs
          to study the potential aggregate liability under
          these statutes. Moreover, the Company believes it
          has substantial defenses against liability and
          defenses that could mitigate the portion of
          liability, if any, that would otherwise be
          attributable to it.
<PAGE>
               To date, the Company and certain of the other
          PRPs (the "Funding Group") for the site have
          funded the site's remediation expenses, PRP
          identification expenses and related costs for the
          participating parties.  As of December 31, 1996
          such costs totaled $18.8 million, of which the
          Company has funded approximately $4.0 million.
          Since 1988 the Funding Group filed petitions to
          add a number of companies as third-party
          defendants with regard to the remedial action.
          The Funding Group has agreed to settle with the
          majority of these companies.  All funds collected
          through these settlements are placed in escrow to
          fund future expenses.  At December 31, 1996, the
          balance of the escrow was $6.2 million, which is
          to be used to fund any ongoing remediation
          expenses.  The Company will not owe any future
          assessments until the balance in escrow is
          depleted.  There are additional settlements being
          negotiated which should add to the balance in
          escrow.

               Additional remedial work scheduled for the
          site includes  completion of studies and if
          required by the results of these studies,
          subsequent remediation.  Following completion of
          any such required additional remediation, it will
          be necessary to obtain Environmental Protection
          Agency approval to close the site, which consent
          may require subsequent post-closure activities
          such as groundwater monitoring and site
          maintenance for many years.  The Company is not
          able to estimate the final costs for any such
          additional remedial work or post-closure costs
          that may be required; however, the Company
          believes that its proportionate share of
          expenditures for any additional work will not have
          a material impact on the Company's financial
          statements. In addition, the members of the
          Funding Group have entered into a final cost
          sharing agreement under which all parties have
          agreed that there would be no re-allocation of
          previous remediation costs, but that future
          remediation costs would be established by a
          formula.  Under this agreement, the Company's
          share of future costs is 17.5%.

               In 1996, the Company settled a class action
          lawsuit involving alleged personal injury and
          property damage arising from the Walker, La.
          reclamation site.  Under the terms of the
          settlement, the Company has paid approximately
          $6.0 million into a settlement fund.  The Company
          also agreed to pay up to an additional $6.0
          million (plus interest at 8% per annum) if the
          plaintiffs are unsuccessful in collecting certain
          claims under Avondale's insurance policies that
          have been assigned to the plaintiff class under
          the settlement agreement. During the first quarter
          of 1997, certain remaining parties to the
<PAGE>
          litigation, including Avondale's insurers, reached
          a tentative settlement, pursuant to which
          Avondale's insurers agreed to pay the plaintiffs
          an amount in excess of the $6.0 million (plus
          interest) for which Avondale was responsible in
          full and final satisfaction of the plaintiff's
          claims against Avondale and Avondale would be
          released from liability.  The tentative settlement
          agreement is subject to a fairness review by the
          trial court. With respect to the potential
          contingent liability of the Company to pay
          additional sums if the tentative settlement is not
          approved by the court, management believes that
          the eventual resolution of this matter will not
          have a material adverse effect on the Company's
          results of operations, financial position or cash
          flows.

               Furthermore, the Company has initiated
          litigation against its insurer for a declaration
          of coverage of the liability, if any, that may
          arise in connection with the remediation of the
          site referred to above. The court has ruled that
          the insurer has the duty to defend the Company,
          but has not yet ruled on whether the carrier has a
          duty to indemnify the Company if any liability is
          ultimately assessed against it. After consultation
          with counsel, the Company is unable to predict the
          eventual outcome of this litigation or the degree
          to which such potential liability would be
          indemnified by its insurance carrier.

               In addition to the above, the Company is also
          named as a defendant in other lawsuits and
          proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
          business, some of which involve substantial
          claims.

               The Company has established accruals as
          appropriate for certain of the matters discussed
          above. While the ultimate outcome of lawsuits and
          proceedings against the Company cannot be
          predicted with certainty, management believes,
          based on current facts and circumstances and after
          review with counsel, that, the eventual resolution
          of these matters is not expected to have a
          material adverse effect on the Company's financial
          statements.

          Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of
                    Security Holders.

               The Company did not submit any matters to a
          vote of security holders during the fourth quarter
          of its fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

          Item  7:  Management's Discussion and Analysis  of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations

               The following  discussion  should  be read in
          conjunction with Avondale Industries, Inc.'s  (the
          "Company"  or  "Avondale")  Consolidated Financial
          Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in
          this Form 10-K.

          Overview

               The  improvement  in the Company's  operating
          results  continued during  fiscal  1996  with  the
          Company reporting  record  financial  results  for
          1996.  Net  sales  were  8% above the prior year's
          level,  income from continuing  operations  before
          income  taxes   increased   45%   and  net  income
          increased by 9% compared to fiscal 1995.

               The  Company's firm backlog at  December  31,
          1996  was approximately  $1.8  billion  (including
          estimated   contract   escalation)   exclusive  of
          unexercised options aggregating $1.1 billion  held
          by  the U.S. Navy (the "Navy") for additional ship
          orders  (including estimated contract escalation).
          Firm backlog  includes  two Navy contracts awarded
          in 1996, the first of which  was the exercise of a
          previously   awarded   option   to  construct   an
          additional  Sealift ship for approximately  $211.1
          million  (or  more   than   $240   million   after
          considering   certain  additional  components  and
          reimbursable escalation).  The  exercise  of  this
          option represents the fifth ship which the Company

<PAGE>
          has  been awarded in the Sealift program. The Navy
          holds  an  option  for  an additional Sealift ship
          which is exercisable in 1997.

               In December 1996, the  U.S.  Navy  awarded  a
          contract  to build the first ship of its new class
          of  LPD-17 vessels  to  an  alliance  led  by  the
          Company.   In  addition,  the alliance was awarded
          options, exercisable by the  U.S.  Navy,  for  two
          additional  ships  of  the  LPD-17  class.   It is
          expected  that a total of 12 vessels will be built
          under the LPD-17  program.   The  members  of  the
          alliance, Bath, Hughes and the Company submitted a
          joint   bid   with   the   Company  as  the  prime
          contractor.   Under  the  terms  of  an  agreement
          between  the alliance members,  the  Company  will
          build the  vessel  covered  by  the  December 1996
          contract, and if the U.S. Navy exercises  the  two
          options,  the  Company  would  also  construct the
          second and Bath would construct the third  of  the
          three  LPD-17 vessels.  Hughes will be responsible
          for total  ship  integration and the alliance will
          use  Intergraph  technology  for  the  design  and
          manufacture  of the  ship.   In  order  to  fairly
          represent its  role  as the prime contractor under
          the LPD-17 contract, the  Company  is  required to
          report  in  its  financial  statements  the entire
          contract  amount  for  each  vessel  in the LPD-17
          program  constructed  by the alliance as  revenue.
          Under the subcontracting  agreements  entered into
          between  the Company and each of Bath and  Hughes,
          the award fees that can be earned under the LPD-17
          contract  are  distributable  among  the  alliance
          members in proportion to each member's performance
          and  participation  in  the  construction  of  the
          vessel  for  which  the award was granted.  To the
          extent that the Company's  revenues  include costs
          incurred  by  and  award  fees  paid to the  other
          alliance  members,  the  Company's profit  margins
          will  be reduced.  For additional  information  on
          the  terms  of  the  LPD-17  contract  award,  the
          relationship  between  the members of the alliance
          and   certain   accounting   considerations,   see
          "Business - Overview."

               Vessel deliveries in fiscal 1996 included the
          third  of  three LSD-CVs and a double-hulled  T-AO
          representing  the 16th vessel built by the Company
          since  the program's  inception  in  1982.   These
          deliveries    represent    the    completion    of
          construction  on  two  multi-ship  programs  which
          provided  a  significant  portion of the Company's
          workload    over    the   past   several    years.
          Additionally, the Company  delivered  the third of
          four MHC-51 vessels in 1996, and in January  1997,
          the  Company delivered the fourth and final vessel
          under the contract.

               The Company's operating results projected for
          1997 are expected to be related principally to the
          LSD-CV  52,  the  Sealift  ship  contracts and the

<PAGE>
          Icebreaker, while results projected  for  1998 are
          expected  to  reflect  primarily  the  Sealift and
          Icebreaker   contracts.   Except  for  the  LPD-17
          contract, the Company records  profits  under  the
          percentage-of-completion   method   of  accounting
          based  on  direct labor charges.  See "Business  -
          Overview."   Although  the  Company generally does
          not begin to record profits on its contracts until
          contract  performance  is sufficient  to  estimate
          final  results  with reasonable  accuracy,  actual
          profits taken with  respect  to such contracts may
          be  affected  if the Company is  required  in  the
          future to revise  its  estimate  of  the  cost  to
          complete one or more of such contracts.

               As   previously  disclosed,  certain  of  the
          Company's  operations  closed  in  1994  with  the
          completion of  their  respective contracts. One of
          these facilities was sold  in  December  1996, and
          the  other  is  currently offered for sale.   With
          respect  to the remaining  property,  the  Company
          currently   is   not   aware   of   any   material
          environmental liabilities to be incurred for  site
          restoration,  post  closure monitoring commitments
          or other exit costs.

          Results of Operations

               1996  vs. 1995.   The  Company  recorded  net
          income of $30.8  million,  or $2.13 per share, for
          1996  compared  to  $28.2 million,  or  $1.95  per
          share, for 1995 representing  an increase of 9% in
          net  income over the prior year.  Net  income  for
          1996 and 1995 include income tax benefits of  $9.0
          million, or $0.62 per share, and $13.0 million, or
          $0.90 per share, respectively, as discussed below.
          Also included in 1996 and 1995 net income are $4.4
          million,  or $0.30 per share, and $4.5 million, or
          $0.31 per share,  respectively,  reductions  of  a
          previously  recognized  loss which was recorded in
          prior  years on the contract  to  construct  three
          LSD-CVs.  The  reductions  were  due  primarily to
          revisions of the total estimated contract  cost as
          it neared completion.

               In addition to the improvements on the  three
          LSD-CV  contract,  the  increases in the Company's
          operating   results  in  1996   reflect   improved
          operating profits  recognized  on  the  seven T-AO
          contract,  which  was  completed in 1996, and  the
          LSD-CV  52  contract.  In  addition,  the  Company
          began  profit   recognition  on  the  contract  to
          construct five Strategic  Sealift  vessels for the
          Navy.   Also  contributing  to  the  increase   in
          operating  results for 1996 were operating profits
          of $8.2 million  recorded  by the Company's marine
          repair, modular construction  and  wholesale steel
          operations.

               These profits were offset, in part, by losses
          recorded  on  two  commercial  marine construction
          contracts. The Company recognized  an $8.5 million

<PAGE>
          loss  on  the  contract to construct river  hopper
          barges, primarily  representing  costs incurred in
          connection  with  the  Company's entry  into  this
          competitive  market.   In  addition,  the  Company
          recorded a $20 million loss  with  respect  to the
          contract  to  retrofit four single-hull commercial
          tankers with new  double hulls. This loss resulted
          from several factors,  the most important of which
          related  to  certain  modifications  to  the  hull
          design that were required  in order to comply with
          American  Bureau of Shipbuilding  standards  after
          construction  had been commenced by the Company in
          order to respond  to  a  significantly  compressed
          construction  schedule  caused  by  the customer's
          delay  in obtaining financing.  In addition,  this
          project  was  commenced prior to the time that the
          Company's new automated  production  facility  had
          become  fully  operational,  and therefore did not
          benefit  from the efficiencies  which  would  have
          been  realized   from   the   completed   factory.
          Finally,  the  pre-delivery  testing  of the first
          vessel revealed a condition which required certain
          modifications   causing   the   Company  to  incur
          incremental costs.

               The impact of these losses was  mitigated  by
          the   fact   that   these   contracts  absorbed  a
          substantial  amount  of  operating  expenses  that
          would  otherwise  have  been  allocated  to  other
          contracts.  In addition, these contracts have been
          important  in  the Company's  reemergence  in  the
          competitive commercial  tanker  and barge markets.
          The tanker contract has also enabled  the  Company
          to  construct  four forebodies which are patterned
          after the forebody  of Avondale's standard tanker,
          providing  experience in constructing this portion
          of the vessel, enabling  the Company to refine the
          design and production techniques,  and  furthering
          the Company's progress toward achieving its stated
          goal  of  a  more  balanced  mix  of  military and
          commercial work.  The first double-hull tanker was
          delivered on October 3, 1996 while the second hull
          was  delivered  January  16,  1997.  The remaining
          vessels are scheduled to be delivered  in  May and
          September 1997.

          The  Company's  net  sales in 1996  increased
          $48.6  million,  or 8%, as compared to  the  prior
          year. The increase  in  1996  net  sales  was  due
          primarily   to   increases   in   sales   revenues
          recognized on the contracts to construct the first
          five   Sealift   ships,  the  Icebreaker  and  the
          forebodies for four double-hulled product tankers,
          which  collectively   accounted  for  63%  of  the
          Company's 1996 net sales  revenue. The increase in
          net sales was partially offset  by  reductions  in
          sales  revenues  recognized  on  the  contracts to
          construct the three LSD-CVs (the last of which was
          delivered in March 1996), LSD-CV 52 (scheduled for
          completion in November 1997), the seven T-AOs (the

<PAGE>
          last of which was delivered in May 1996)  and four
          MHCs  (the  third  of  which was delivered in July
          1996  and  the  last  of which  was  delivered  in
          January 1997).  The increase in 1996 net sales was
          also  partially  offset  by   reduced   net  sales
          recorded  on  paddle-wheeled  gaming vessels  (the
          last  of  which  was  delivered  in   1995).   The
          contracts to construct the three LSD-CVs, the LSD-
          CV  52, the seven T-AOs and four MHCs collectively
          accounted  for 24% of the Company's 1996 net sales
          revenue.

               Gross  profit   for   1996   increased  $23.2
          million, or 39%, compared to 1995. The increase in
          1996  gross  profit was due primarily  to  profits
          recognized on the contract to construct the LSD-CV
          52 and the seven  T-AOs.  Also contributing to the
          increase in gross profit  was  the start of profit
          recognition  on  the  contract  to  construct  the
          Strategic Sealift vessels.  The increase  in gross
          profit was partially offset by the losses recorded
          on  the  barge  and forebodies contracts discussed
          above.

               Selling, general  and administrative ("SG&A")
          expenses increased $12.9 million, or 40%, for 1996
          compared  to 1995. The overall  increase  in  SG&A
          expenses was  due  primarily  to  increased  labor
          costs,  professional  fees  and computer equipment
          rental   costs  associated  with   the   Company's
          successful   LPD-17   proposal.   These  increases
          represent  76%  of  the  increase   in  1996  SG&A
          expenses.

               The Company's 1996 and 1995 operating results
          include  income  tax benefits of $9.0 million,  or
          $0.62 per share, and  $13.0  million, or $0.90 per
          share, respectively.  As further discussed in Note
          7   of   the   Notes  to  Consolidated   Financial
          Statements, these  amounts  were  principally  the
          result  of  recognizing,  for  financial reporting
          purposes,  income  tax benefits from  certain  net
          operating loss carry  forwards available to offset
          estimated future taxable  earnings.  In  1996  and
          1995,   the   $9.0   million   and  $13.0  million
          respective tax benefits were offset  by income tax
          provisions  of  $12.7  million  and  $8.6  million
          related   to  1996  and  1995  operating  results,
          respectively.     As   of   December   31,   1996,
          substantially all of  the  Company's net operating
          loss  carry  forwards  have  been  recognized  for
          financial reporting purposes.

               Statement  of Financial Accounting  Standards
          No.    123,    "Accounting     for     Stock-Based
          Compensation," ("SFAS 123") encourages,  but  does
          not require, companies to record compensation cost
          for  stock-based  employee  compensation  plans at
          fair value.  The Company has chosen to continue to
          account  for  stock-based  compensation using  the

<PAGE>
          intrinsic  value method prescribed  in  Accounting
          Principles Board  Opinion  No. 25, "Accounting for
          Stock   Issued   to   Employees,"    and   related
          interpretations  and  has  adopted the disclosure-
          only  provisions of SFAS 123.   Implementation  of
          the provisions  of SFAS 123 had no material effect
          on the financial statements.

               1995  vs. 1994.   The  Company  recorded  net
          income of $28.2  million,  or $1.95 per share, for
          1995 compared to $8.5 million, or $0.59 per share,
          for 1994 representing a threefold  increase in net
          income  over the prior year. The 1995  net  income
          includes  a  $4.4 million, or $0.30 per share, net
          income  tax  benefit   (discussed   below).   Also
          included  in  1995  net income is $4.5 million, or
          $0.31  per  share,  which  is  a  reduction  of  a
          previously recognized  loss  which was recorded in
          prior  years  on the contract to  construct  three
          LSD-CVs. The reduction  was  due  primarily  to  a
          revision  of  the total estimated contract cost as
          it nears completion.  Included  in  net income for
          1994 are a $3.5 million, or $0.24 per  share,  net
          gain  related  to  revisions of estimated contract
          profits    on    several   previously    completed
          shipbuilding   contracts    and    a   loss   from
          discontinued operations of $4.6 million,  or $0.31
          per  share,  reflecting the Company's decision  in
          1994  to  discontinue   its   service  contracting
          business.

               The significant increases  in  the  Company's
          operating   results   in  1995  primarily  reflect
          increased  operating  profits  recognized  on  the
          LSD-CV 52 contract, as  well  as  the  reversal of
          part  of  a  previously  recognized  loss  on  the
          contract  to  construct  three  LSD-CVs,  and  the
          recognition   of  operating  profit  on  the  T-AO
          contract. Also  contributing  to  the  increase in
          operating  results for 1995 were profits  recorded
          by the Company's marine repair and wholesale steel
          operations and  an  increase  in  interest  income
          primarily   resulting  from  an  increase  in  the
          Company's invested cash balances.

               The Company's  net  sales  in  1995 increased
          $100.5 million, or 21%, as compared to  the  prior
          year.  The  increase  in  1995  net  sales was due
          primarily   to   increases   in   sales   revenues
          recognized on the contracts to construct the first
          three  Sealift  ships,  the  forebodies  for  four
          double-hulled  product  tankers, the LSD-CV 52 and
          the Icebreaker, which collectively  accounted  for
          54%  of  the Company's 1995 net sales revenue. The
          increase in  net  sales  was  partially  offset by
          reductions  in  sales  revenues recognized on  the
          contracts to construct the  seven T-AOs (the fifth
          and sixth of which were delivered  in 1995), three
          LSD-CVs   (the  second  of which was delivered  in

<PAGE>
          1995)  and  four MHCs (the  first  of  which   was
          delivered in  1995),  as  these contracts approach
          completion. The contracts to  construct the T-AOs,
          three   LSD-CVs,   and   four   MHCs  collectively
          accounted for 28% of the Company's  1995 net sales
          revenue.

               Gross   profit   for  1995  increased   $11.2
          million, or 24%, compared to 1994. The increase in
          1995  gross profit was primarily  due  to  profits
          recognized on the contract to construct the LSD-CV
          52 as the  percentage of completion was sufficient
          to begin profit recognition in 1995.

               Selling,  general and administrative ("SG&A")
          expenses increased  $1.6  million, or 5%, for 1995
          compared  to 1994. The overall  increase  in  SG&A
          expenses primarily  reflected  increased operating
          activity  at the Company's main shipyard  and,  in
          part, an increase in indirect labor and associated
          costs resulting  from  a  wage  increase  given in
          January 1995 to all employees. These increases  in
          SG&A  expenses were partially offset by a decrease
          in SG&A  expenses  resulting  from  the closing of
          certain subsidiary operations.

               Interest  expense  increased by $457,000,  or
          10%, in 1995 as compared to 1994. The increase was
          due  principally  to interest  expense  associated
          with  the  $17.8  million   Title   XI   financing
          completed  in  February 1995 (as discussed below),
          $36.3 million of  Series  1994  industrial revenue
          bonds  (see  Note  4 of the Notes to  Consolidated
          Financial Statements) and a note issued as part of
          a litigation settlement  (discussed  in Note 10 of
          the  Notes  to Consolidated Financial Statements).
          These  increases   were  partially  offset  by  an
          increase in interest  capitalized  on assets under
          construction    relating    primarily    to    the
          modernization project.

               The  Company's 1995 operating results include
          a net income tax benefit of $4.4 million, or $0.30
          per share.  As  further discussed in Note 7 of the
          Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  the
          net  income  tax benefit is principally the result
          of recognizing,  for financial reporting purposes,
          a $13.0 million income  tax  benefit  from certain
          net  operating  loss  carry forwards available  to
          offset  estimated  future  taxable  earnings.  The
          $13.0 million tax benefit  was partially offset by
          an income tax provision of $8.6 million related to
          1995  operating  results.  There   was   a   minor
          provision  for income taxes in the same period  in
          1994 as an income tax benefit related to available
          net operating  loss  carry forwards was recognized
          only  to  the  extent of  then  current  operating
          results.

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

<PAGE>
               The  Company's   cash  and  cash  equivalents
          totaled  $48.9 million at  December  31,  1996  as
          compared to  $38.5  million  at December 31, 1995.
          Contributing  to  the  improved  cash  balance  at
          December  31,  1996  were amounts collected  as  a
          result of the settlement  of the Company's Request
          for Equitable Adjustment ("Minehunter  REA") filed
          with  the  U.S.  Navy  related  to  the  four MHCs
          currently under contract (as discussed in  further
          detail  in  Note  2  of  the Notes to Consolidated
          Financial  Statements).  The  Company's  operating
          activities represented  a  significant  source  of
          cash   in  1996,  generating  approximately  $26.7
          million.   The  Company's  primary uses of cash in
          the current year consisted of capital expenditures
          of $13.8 million and principal  payments  on long-
          term borrowings of $5.8 million.

               The Company's $42.5 million revolving  credit
          agreement  ("the  agreement")  provides  available
          liquidity  for  working  capital purposes, capital
          expenditures and letters of  credit.   At December
          31, 1996, there were approximately $11.3   million
          of  letters of credit issued against the agreement
          leaving  approximately  $31.2 million of liquidity
          available  to Avondale for  operations  and  other
          purposes. Continuing  access  to  the agreement is
          conditioned   upon   the   Company  remaining   in
          compliance  with  the  covenants   which   include
          certain  financial  ratios.   At December 31, 1996
          the Company was in compliance with  the  covenants
          contained therein.  The Company believes that  its
          capital  resources  will  be sufficient to finance
          current and projected operations.

               In order to comply with the terms of the LPD-
          17  contract,  the Company will  make  significant
          capital expenditures,  particularly to enhance its
          computer-aided   design   and   product   modeling
          capabilities.    The   Company    currently    has
          sufficient  cash  and available lines of credit to
          fund  these capital  expenditures.   Nevertheless,
          the Company  and  its banks agreed to increase the
          size of its revolving  credit agreement from $42.5
          million  to  $85  million  conditioned   upon  the
          favorable resolution of the protest of the  LPD-17
          contract (which resolution is anticipated in early
          April  1997).   The  increase  in  the size of the
          agreement  is sufficient to allow the  Company  to
          fund the expenditures  on  an  interim  basis with
          borrowings  under  the  agreement while preserving
          the  current  level of available  liquidity.   The
          amended  agreement  provides  that  the  available
          credit under  the  agreement  will  be  reduced to
          approximately   $50   million   once  a  long-term
          financing for the LPD-17 expenditures  is in place
          (as  discussed  below) and, at the same time,  the
          banks  have agreed  to  eliminate  all  collateral
          except their second mortgage on the Company's 900-
          foot floating  drydock.   In addition, the amended
          agreement would extend the  expiration  date until
          April 2000.

<PAGE>
               Under  planned  long-term  financing for  the
          LPD-17 expenditures, the Company,  in  conjunction
          with   the   University   of   New   Orleans  (the
          "University"),  and the University of New  Orleans
          Research    and   Technology    Foundation    (the
          "Foundation"),  intends  to  construct  a  200,000
          square  foot  building  on  property  owned by the
          Company  adjacent to the Company's main  shipyard.
          In addition, the plan includes the purchase of the
          hardware and  software required to comply with the
          LPD-17   contract    terms    related    to    the
          implementation  of the extensive three-dimensional
          ship  design  and IPDE  teaming  technology.   The
          initial investment  in  this  new  facility, which
          will   be  known  as  the  "UNO/Avondale  Maritime
          Technology  Center of Excellence," is estimated at
          $40  million,   and   will   be  financed  by  the
          Foundation   using  third-party  debt   or   lease
          financing   to   be    repaid    through    annual
          appropriations  from  the state and guaranteed  by
          the Company.  The Company  will enter into a long-
          term lease for the Center requiring only a nominal
          lease  payment.  The Company  will  guarantee  the
          debt and  provide  access  to the technology and a
          portion of the Center to the  University for their
          use in research and the development of educational
          curricula.  The Company and the  University are in
          the  process  of securing the required  approvals.
          Development of  the Center and the requisite state
          support   are   contingent   on   the   successful
          resolution of the LPD-17 protest.

               The Company's  estimated  net  operating loss
          carry  forward  for  income tax purposes  was  $29
          million at December 31,  1996.   This amount, plus
          available income tax credits from  prior  years of
          $5.4  million,  and  $2.7  million  of alternative
          minimum  tax credits will  be used to  reduce  the
          income tax  liabilities  for 1997 and later years.
          The $1.76 million cash paid  in  1996  for  income
          taxes  reflects  payments  for alternative minimum
          tax.  The net operating loss carry forwards expire
          in  years  2006 through 2008 and  the  tax  credit
          carry forwards  expire in years 2000 through 2011.
          The alternative minimum tax credits may be carried
          forward indefinitely.   The  Company  expects that
          a  "change  of  control"  of  the  Company for tax
          purposes  is  likely  to  occur  in 1997 which may
          limit the timing  of  the Company's use of its net
          operating loss carry forwards  in  1997  and later
          years.

          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

          To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
            of Avondale Industries, Inc.:

          We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated
          balance  sheets of Avondale Industries,  Inc.  and
          subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and
          the related consolidated statements of operations,
          shareholders'  equity,  and cash flows for each of
          the three years in the period  ended  December 31,
          1996.    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 assessing the  accounting principles
          used and significant estimates made by management,
          as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall   financial
          statement   presentation.   We  believe  that  our
          audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In  our  opinion,   such   consolidated  financial
          statements   present  fairly,  in   all   material
          respects,  the   financial  position  of  Avondale
          Industries, Inc. and  subsidiaries at December 31,
          1995 and 1996, and the results of their operations
          and their cash flows for  each  of the three years
          in   the  period  ended  December  31,   1996   in
          conformity   with  generally  accepted  accounting
          principles.

                AVONDALE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

            Principles of Consolidation

               The  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts
            of Avondale Industries,  Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
            ("Avondale" or the "Company")  which  are  primarily engaged in
            marine  construction  and repair. All significant  intercompany
            transactions have been eliminated.

            Revenue Recognition

               Profits on long-term  contracts are recorded on the basis of
            the Company's estimates of  the  percentage  of  completion  of
            individual  contracts, commencing when progress reaches a point
            where contract  performance  is  sufficient  to  estimate final
            results  with reasonable accuracy. Estimates of the  percentage
            of completion  are  based on direct labor charges. Revisions in
            cost and profit estimates  during  the  course  of the work are
            reflected in the accounting period in which the facts requiring
            the  revisions become known. Amounts in excess of  agreed  upon
            contract   price   for  customer  caused  delays,  disruptions,
            unapproved change orders or other causes of additional contract
            costs are recognized  in  contract value if it is probable that
            the claim for such amounts  will  result  in additional revenue
            and  the  amount  can  be reasonably estimated  (see  Note  2).
            Provisions  for  estimated   losses,  if  any,  on  uncompleted
            contracts  are made in the period  in  which  such  losses  are
            determined.

            Statements of Cash Flows

               For purposes  of  the  statements of cash flows, the Company
            considers all highly liquid  debt  instruments purchased with a
            maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

            Fair Value Disclosures

               Statement  of  Financial  Accounting   Standards   No.  107,
            "Disclosures   about  Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments",
            requires the disclosure  of  the  fair value of all significant
            financial instruments. The estimated  fair  value  amounts have
            been  developed  by  the  Company  based  on  available  market
            information  and  appropriate valuation methodologies. However,
            considerable judgment  is  required in developing the estimates
            of fair value. Therefore, such  estimates  are  not necessarily
            indicative of the amounts that could be realized  in  a current
            market exchange. After such analysis, management believes  that
            the  carrying  values  of  the  Company's significant financial
            instruments   (consisting   of  cash  and   cash   equivalents,
            short-term   investments,   receivables,    payables,   accrued
            liabilities and long-term debt) approximate fair values.

            Inventories

               Inventories are recorded principally at the  lower  of  cost

<PAGE>
            (average or first-in, first-out) or market.

            Property, Plant and Equipment

               Property,   plant   and   equipment   is   stated  at  cost.
            Depreciation  of property, plant and equipment is  computed  in
            the financial statements  on  the straight-line method based on
            estimates of useful lives as follows:
            <TABLE>
            <CAPTION>  
                            Type                    Period
                            ----                    ------
                    <S>                           <C>
                    Machinery and equipment        3-20 years
                    Buildings and improvements    15-40 years
            </TABLE>  
                Accelerated  depreciation methods  are  generally  used  for
             income  tax   purposes.  Maintenance  and  repairs  are
             charged directly  to  expense  as  incurred. Additions,
             improvements   and  major  renewals  are   capitalized.
             Interest  costs  for   the   construction   of  certain
             long-term assets are capitalized as part of the cost of
             property,  plant  and equipment and amortized over  the
             related   assets'   useful    lives.   Interest   costs
             capitalized in fiscal 1994 were  not material. Interest
             costs capitalized in fiscal 1995 and  1996 approximated
             $1.2 million and $759,000, respectively.

             Goodwill

                Goodwill  represents the excess of the purchase  price  over
             the underlying fair value of the net assets of acquired
             businesses  and  is  being amortized on a straight-line
             basis over its estimated  useful  life of twenty years.
             Management evaluates the continuing  value  and  future
             benefits of goodwill, including the appropriateness  of
             related amortization periods, on a current basis.

                The  recoverability  of  goodwill is assessed by determining
             whether  the  unamortized   balance  can  be  recovered
             through projected cash flows and operating results over
             its  remaining life. Any impairment  of  the  asset  is
             recognized   when  it  is  probable  that  such  future
             undiscounted cash  flows will be less than the carrying
             value of the asset.

                Accumulated amortization  at  December  31,  1995  and  1996
             amounted   to   $74.5   million   and   $75.0  million,
             respectively.

             Income Taxes

                The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal
             income tax return. Deferred income taxes  are  provided
             in   the  financial  statements,  where  necessary,  to
             account  for  the  tax  effect of temporary differences
             resulting  from reporting  revenues  and  expenses  for
             income tax purposes  in  periods  different  from those
             used  for  financial  reporting purposes. The temporary
             differences  result  principally   from   the   use  of

<PAGE>
             different   methods  of  accounting  for  depreciation,
             long-term contracts and certain employee benefits.

             Stock-Based Compensation

                Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  123,
             "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"  ("SFAS 123")
             encourages, but does not require, companies  to  record
             compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation
             plans  at  fair  value.   The  Company  has  chosen  to
             continue  to account for stock-based compensation using
             the intrinsic  value  method  prescribed  in Accounting
             Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting  for Stock
             Issued  to Employees," and related interpretations  and
             has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123.
             Accordingly,  compensation  cost  for  stock options is
             measured  as  the excess, if any, of the quoted  market
             price of the Company's  stock  at the date of the grant
             over the amount an employee must  pay  to  acquire  the
             stock.  See Note 9.

             Use of Estimates

                The  preparation  of financial statements in conformity with
             generally  accepted   accounting   principles  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  those
             estimates.

             Reclassifications

                Certain reclassifications  of  prior  year amounts have been
             made to conform to the current year presentation. These
             reclassifications  were  made for comparative  purposes
             only and have no effect on  net  income  as  previously
             reported.

             2.  Receivables

                Receivables consisted of the following at December  31,
             1995 and 1996 (in thousands):

<PAGE>
             Unbilled  costs, including retentions, and estimated profits
             on contracts  in  progress were not billable to customers at
             the  balance  sheet dates  under  terms  of  the  respective
             contracts. Of the  unbilled  costs  and  estimated  profits,
             approximately  $36.3 million is expected to be collected  in
             1997 with the balance to be collected in subsequent years as
             contract deliveries  are  made  and warranty periods expire.
             Net sales to the United States Government in 1994, 1995, and
             1996 account for approximately 77%,  74%  and 77% of the net
             sales, respectively.

                In December 1995, the Company settled the Minehunter Request
             for Equitable Adjustment ("Minehunter REA") for $23 million,
             which approximated the previously recorded  estimate  of the
             amount recoverable. In connection with the settlement of the
             Minehunter  REA  in  December  1995,  the  Company submitted
             invoices  totaling  $30.7  million to the U.S.  Navy,  which

             escalation provisions which obligate the U.S. Navy to bear a
             portion of the additional costs. The Company collected these
             amounts in full during the first quarter of 1996.

             delivery through  September 1997. In 1995 and 1996 the Company
             recorded  reductions   of   $4.5  million  and  $4.4  million,
             respectively, of a previously recognized loss due primarily to
             a revision of the total estimated  contract  cost  as it nears
             completion.  Additionally, during 1996 the Company recorded  a
             $28.5 million increase in the reserve related to the contracts
             to construct the four double-hulled forebodies and a series of
             river hopper barges.

             4.  Financing Arrangements

             Revolving Credit Agreement

                The  Company  has  available  a  two-year  revolving  credit
             agreement   ("the   agreement")   with    various    financial
             institutions.  The agreement provides for an available line of
             credit  equal  to  the  lesser of $42.5 million or a specified
             borrowing base with a term  which  in 1996 was extended to May
             1998. A commitment fee based on the  average  daily  amount of
             the  unused  line  of  credit is payable on a quarterly basis.
             Borrowings under the agreement  bear  interest  at fluctuating
             rates. The agreement is collateralized by substantially all of
             the Company's working capital assets and its 900-foot floating
             drydock and, among other things, (1) requires the  Company  to
             meet  certain financial covenants (relating to net worth, debt
             coverage,   interest   coverage   and  backlog),  (2)  imposes
             limitations  and  restrictions  related   to   annual  capital
             expenditures,  the  incurrence  of  new indebtedness  and  the
             payment  of  dividends and (3) requires  compliance  with  the
             terms  and conditions  of  all  other  debt  agreements.   The
             agreement  also provides the Company with the right to require
             the bank group  to  post  letters  of  credit on the Company's
             behalf in support of its operations which  letters  of  credit
             reduce  the  remaining  available credit (see Note 10).  There
             were no borrowings in 1995 and 1996 under the revolving credit
             agreement.

                As a result of the award  of the LPD-17 contract the Company
             will  be  required to make significant  capital  expenditures.
             The Company  and  its banks agreed to increase the size of the

<PAGE>
             revolving  credit  agreement   up  to  $85  million  upon  the
             favorable resolution of a protest  filed  by  the unsuccessful
             bidder   for  the  LPD-17  contract.   The  amended  agreement
             provides  that   the  available  credit  will  be  reduced  to
             approximately $50  million  once a long-term financing for the
             LPD-17 expenditures is in place.   The  banks have also agreed
             to eliminate all collateral except the second  mortgage on the
             900-foot  floating  drydock  and  to  extend  the  agreement's
             expiration until April 2000.

             </TABLE>
 
                The  $36.3  million  of  industrial  revenue bonds represent
             Series  1994  bonds  which consist of (1) $6  million  bearing
             interest at 8.25% and payable in annual principal installments
             ranging from $550,000  in 1997 to final payment of $985,000 in
             2004  and (2) $30.3 million  bearing  interest  at  8.50%  and
             payable in annual principal installments ranging from $340,000
             in 1997  to  final payment of $3.8 million in 2014. The Series
             1994 bonds are secured by certain property and equipment which
             had  a  net book  value  of  approximately  $21.2  million  at
             December   31,  1996.   Among  other  things,  the  terms  and
             conditions of the Series 1994 bonds (1) require the Company to
             meet certain  financial covenants (relating to net worth, debt
             and  debt  service   coverage   and   liquidity),  (2)  impose
             limitations and restrictions related to  the incurrence of new
             indebtedness  and the payment of dividends,  and  (3)  require
             compliance with  the  terms  and conditions of other specified
             debt agreements.

               The $16.6 million of mortgage  bonds represent the remaining
             balance of $17.8 million of bonds  issued  in February 1995 as
             part  of  the  financing  of  the Company's approximately  $20

<PAGE>
             million  plant modernization effort.  The  bonds  were  issued
             utilizing  a  U.S.  Government guarantee under Title XI of the
             Merchant Marine Act,  1936,  as  amended  ("Title  XI"),  bear
             interest  at the annual rate of 8.16% and are payable in equal
             semi-annual  principal  payments  of  $593,000  over a 15 year
             period  beginning in 1996. The terms of the financing  include
             various restrictive covenants including provisions relating to
             the maintenance  of  working capital, incurrence of additional
             indebtedness, and the  maintenance of a minimum net worth. The
             plant  modernization  assets   having  a  net  book  value  of
             approximately $20.7 million at December  31,  1996  have  been
             pledged as collateral for these mortgage bonds.

               The  $3.1  million  of  mortgage  bonds at December 31, 1996
             represent the balance of an earlier mortgage  bond issue which
             also  utilized  a  Title XI guarantee. The Company  refinanced
             these mortgage bonds  in  February  1995  (approximately  $4.3
             million) which reduced the annual interest rate from 9.30%  to
             7.86%.  The refinancing agreement contains various restrictive
             covenants  similar  to those for the $17.8 million of Title XI
             mortgage bonds discussed  above.  These  bonds  are payable in
             equal semi-annual principal payments of $388,000 and mature in
             the year 2000. Property, plant and equipment having a net book
             value of approximately $12.9 million at December  31, 1996 has
             been pledged as collateral for these mortgage bonds.

               Other  long-term debt at December 31, 1996 represents  a  $2
             million unsecured  note  issued  as  part of the settlement of
             certain claims against the Company (as  further  discussed  in
             Note  10).  The note bears interest at 8% per annum and is due
             in January 1997.

             5.  Discontinued Operations

                During the third quarter  of  1994  the  Company  decided to
             discontinue    operation    of   its   service
             contracting  subsidiary  formed   in  1990  to
             pursue  large-scale  service  contracts   with
             government   and  commercial  operations.  The
             Company   concluded    that   managerial   and
             financial resources could be more productively
             invested   in   the  Company's   core   marine
             construction operations.

                At  December  31, 1996 the Company has available for Federal
             income tax purposes  net  operating loss carry forwards and tax
             credit  carry  forwards  of $29.0  million  and  $5.4  million,
             respectively. The net operating  loss  carry forwards expire in
             years  2006  through  2008  and the tax credit  carry  forwards
             expire  in  the  years  2000 through  2011.  Additionally,  the
             Company has $2.7 million  of  minimum  tax credits which may be
             carried forward indefinitely.

                Deferred income taxes represent the  net  tax  effects  of (a)
             temporary differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of assets
             and liabilities  for financial reporting purposes and their tax
             bases, and (b) operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The
             tax effects of significant  items  comprising the Company's net
             deferred tax balances at December 31, 1995 and 1996 are as

                During   1996,   the   deferred   tax   valuation   allowance 
             decreased approximately $9.0 million as a result of the Company's
             current year operating results  and a re-evaluation of its
             expectations of the likelihood  of  future operating income related
             to its existing backlog.

             8.  Retirement Plans

             ESOP

                In 1985,  the  Company  established the Avondale Industries,
             Inc. Employee Stock Ownership  Plan  (the  "ESOP"). The ESOP is a
             qualified, defined contribution plan designed primarily to invest
             in   equity   securities  of  the  Company  and  is  specifically
             authorized to leverage  its  acquisition of these securities. The
             ESOP  is intended to cover all  employees  of  the  Company  upon
             completion  of  one year of service, except certain employees who
             are covered by collective  bargaining  agreements, unless, by the
             terms of such agreements, the employees are to participate in the

<PAGE>
             ESOP. The ESOP owned approximately 6,822,000 and 2,980,000 shares
             of  the Company's Common Stock at December  31,  1995  and  1996,
             respectively.  In February 1996 the ESOP sold 3,581,100 shares of
             the Company's  common  stock.  The Company did not receive any of
             the proceeds from this public offering.

             Pension Plan

                The Company also sponsors  a  defined  benefit pension plan,
             which is coordinated with the benefits payable  to  participating
             employees in the ESOP. At retirement, a person's benefit is based
             upon the greater of (i) the market value of the shares  of common
             stock  allocated  to  the participant's ESOP account or (ii)  the
             benefit calculated under  the  pension  plan formula. The pension
             plan  formula  benefits  are  based  on a defined  dollar  amount
             multiplied  by  a  fraction related to a  participant's  credited
             service.

                The net periodic  pension  cost for the years ended December
             31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 included  the  following  components  (in

                The Company's funding policy is to contribute each year  an
             amount equal to  the  minimum required contribution under the
             Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  However, the 
             contribution for any year will not be greater than the maximum tax
             deductible  contribution.  Plan  assets consist primarily of United
             States Government and Agency securities, corporate stocks  and
             corporate bonds and notes.  The weighted-average  discount  rate
             used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected
             benefit obligation was 7.25% for 1995 and 7.75% for 1996.  The
             rate of increase in future  compensation levels used was 4.0% for
             1995 and 1996 and thereafter. The expected  long-term  rate  of
             return on the assets was 9.0% for 1995 and 1996.

             401(k) Savings Plan

                Beginning  in 1996 the Company sponsored  a  401(k)  Savings
             Plan.  Participation  in  this  defined  contribution  plan  is
             available  to  substantially  all employees of the Company. The
             Company may elect to make contributions  to  the Plan; however,
             the  timing  and  amount  of  such  contributions  is   at  the
             discretion  of the Company's Board of Directors. There were  no
             contributions made in 1996.

             9.  Shareholders' Equity

             Preferred Stock

                The Company  is  authorized  to  issue  5,000,000  shares of
             preferred stock, $1.00 par value, none of which was outstanding
             at December 31, 1995 and 1996.

             Income (Loss) Per Share

                The   weighted   average   number  of  shares  used  in  the
             computation of income (loss) per share was 14,464,000, for each
             of  the  years  ended  December  31,   1994,   1995  and  1996,
             respectively. The assumed exercise of stock options  would  not
             result in dilution in any of such periods.

             Stock-Based Compensation Plans

                The  Company's Performance Share Plan provided for the award
             of shares  of Common Stock to senior executives of the Company,
             as designated  by  a committee of the Board of Directors, which
             were  earned  upon  the  attainment  of  specified  performance
             objectives.  These performance  objectives  have  been attained
             and therefore no further awards will be made.

                A summary of the status of the Performance Share  Plan as of
             December  31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 and changes during the  three
             years ended December 31, 1996 are presented below:

                The  range  of  exercise  prices  for options outstanding at
             December  31,  1996  (the  majority  of  which  contain  a  stock
             appreciation  right  feature)  was  $3.875  to   $19.00  and  the
             weighted-average remaining contractual life for such  options was
             2.6 years.

                The  Company  provided  a  Stock  Appreciation Plan for  key
             management  employees which contains a stock  appreciation  right
             feature.  This plan has expired, no further award will be made.

                There were  no  transactions  relating  to this plan for the
             year ended December 31, 1996.  A summary of changes  in the Stock
             Appreciation  Plan during the years ended December 31,  1994  and

                There were no options exercisable at December 31, 1994, 1995
             and 1996.  Shares available for grant under the plan at December
             31, 1994 and 1995 totaled 397,000, 437,000 shares, respectively,

<PAGE>
             and no shares were available for grant at December 31, 1996.
             Options were outstanding at $11.25 per share at December 31,
             1994.  Under the terms of the plan, options expired on March 31,
             1995.

                Compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 1994,
             1995 and 1996 was not material.

                The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
             25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
             interpretations in accounting for its plans.  Accordingly, no
             compensation expense is recognized for its stock-based
             compensation plans other than for performance-based awards.
             Since no options were granted under the Company's stock-based
             compensation plans during 1995 and 1996, there would have been no
             effect on net income and income per common share had compensation
             cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based
             upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under these
             plans consistent with the methodology prescribed under Statement
             of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
             Based Compensation."

             10.  Commitments and Contingencies

             Litigation

                In January 1986, the Louisiana Department of Environmental
             Quality ("DEQ") advised the Company that it could be a
             potentially responsible party ("PRP") with respect to an oil
             reclamation site operated by an unaffiliated company in Walker,
             Louisiana. The Company sold to the operator a substantial portion
             of the waste oil that was processed at the reclamation site
             during the period 1978 through 1982. The Company's potential
             liability, if any, for cleanup of this site will be based on the
             Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability 
             Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") or the Louisiana Environmental Affairs
             Act. Under these statutes, such liability is presumptively joint
             and several, but is typically apportioned among the responsible 
             parties based on the volume of material sent by each to the waste
             site. The Company has cooperated with other PRPs to study the
             potential aggregate liability under these statutes. Moreover, the
             Company believes it has substantial defenses against liability
             and defenses that could mitigate the portion of liability, if
             any, that would otherwise be attributable to it.

                To date, the Company and certain of the other PRPs (the
             "Funding Group") for the site have funded the site's remediation
             expenses, PRP identification expenses and related costs for the
             participating parties.  As of December 31, 1996 such costs

<PAGE>
             totaled $18.8 million, of which the Company has funded
             approximately $4.0 million.  Since 1988 the Funding Group filed
             petitions to add a number of companies as third-party defendants
             with regard to the remedial action.  The Funding Group has agreed
             to settle with the majority of these companies.  All funds
             collected through these settlements are placed in escrow to fund
             future expenses.  At December 31, 1996, the balance of the escrow
             was $6.2 million, which is to be used to fund any ongoing
             remediation expenses.  The Company will not owe any future
             assessments until the balance in escrow is depleted.  There are
             additional settlements being negotiated which should add to the
             balance in escrow.

                Additional remedial work scheduled for the site includes
             completion of studies and if required by the results of these
             studies, subsequent remediation.  Following completion of any
             such required additional remediation, it will be necessary to
             obtain Environmental Protection Agency approval to close the
             site, which consent may require subsequent post-closure
             activities such as groundwater monitoring and site maintenance
             for many years.  The Company is not able to estimate the final
             costs for any such additional remedial work or post-closure costs
             that may be required; however, the Company believes that its
             proportionate share of expenditures for any additional work will
             not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
             In addition, the members of the Funding Group have entered into a
             final cost sharing agreement under which all parties have agreed
             that there would be no re-allocation of previous remediation
             costs, but that future remediation costs would be established by
             a formula.  Under this agreement, the Company's share of future
             costs is 17.5%.

                In 1996, the Company settled a class action lawsuit
             involving alleged personal injury and property damage arising
             from the Walker, La. reclamation site.  Under the terms of the
             settlement, the Company has paid approximately $6.0 million into 
             a settlement fund.  The Company also agreed to pay up to an
             additional $6.0 million (plus interest at 8% per annum) if the
             plaintiffs are unsuccessful in collecting certain claims under
             Avondale's insurance policies that have been assigned to the
             plaintiff class under the settlement agreement. During the first 
             quarter of 1997, certain remaining parties to the litigation, 
             including Avondale's insurers, reached a tentative settlement, 
             pursuant to which Avondale's insurers agreed to pay the
             plaintiffs an amount in excess of the $6.0 million (plus
             interest) for which Avondale was responsible in full and final
             satisfaction of the plaintiff's claims against Avondale and
             Avondale would be released from liability.  The tentative
             settlement agreement is subject to a fairness review by the trial
             court. With respect to the potential contingent liability of the
             Company to pay additional sums if the tentative settlement is not
             approved by the court, management believes that the eventual
             resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect
             on the Company's results of operations, financial position or
             cash flows.

                Furthermore, the Company has initiated litigation against
             its insurer for a declaration of coverage of the liability, if
             any, that may arise in connection with the remediation of the

<PAGE>
             site referred to above. The court has ruled that the insurer has
             the duty to defend the Company, but has not yet ruled on whether
             the carrier has a duty to indemnify the Company if any liability
             is ultimately assessed against it. After consultation with
             counsel, the Company is unable to predict the eventual outcome of
             this litigation or the degree to which such potential liability 
             would be indemnified by its insurance carrier.

                In addition to the above, the Company is also named as a
             defendant in other lawsuits and proceedings arising in the
             ordinary course of business, some of which involve substantial
             claims.

                The Company has established accruals as appropriate for
             certain of the matters discussed above. While the ultimate
             outcome of lawsuits and proceedings against the Company cannot be
             predicted with certainty, management believes, based on current
             facts and circumstances and after review with counsel, that, the
             eventual resolution of these matters is not expected to have a
             material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

             Letters of Credit

                In the normal course of its business activities, the Company
             is required to provide letters of credit to secure the payment of
             workers' compensation obligations, other insurance obligations
             and to provide a debt service reserve fund related to $36.3
             million of Series 1994 industrial revenue bonds.  Additionally,
             under certain contracts the Company may be required to provide
             letters of credit to secure certain performance obligations of
             the Company thereunder. Outstanding letters of credit relating to
             these business activities amounted to approximately $25.4 million
             at December 31, 1995 and $11.3 million at December 31, 1996.

             11.  Quarterly Results (Unaudited)

             Consolidated operating results for the four quarters of 1995 and
             1996 were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

     (b) Routinely deployable units--Those units that normally deploy from 
homeport or permanent station on a periodic or rotating basis to meet 
operational requirements or participate in scheduled exercises. This includes 
routinely deployable ships, aviation squadrons, operational staffs, and all 
units of the Fleet Marine Force (FMF). Routinely deployable units do not include
ships undergoing extensive yard work or whose primary mission is support of 
training, e.g., yard craft and auxiliary aircraft landing training ships.

     (c) Units engaged in sensitive operations. Those primarily involved in 
training for or conduct of covert, clandestine, or classified missions, 
including units primarily involved in collecting, handling, disposing, or 
storing of classified information and materials. This also includes units 
engaged in training or advising foreign personnel. Examples of units covered by 
this exemption are nuclear power training facilities. SEAL Teams, Security Group
Commands, Weapons Stations, and Communication Stations.

   (3) Except as otherwise provided, lists containing names and duty addresses 
of DOD personnel, both military and civilian, who are assigned to units in the 
Continental United States (CONUS) and U.S. territories shall be released 
regardless of who has initiated the request.

   (4) Exceptions to this policy must be coordinated with CNO (OP-09B30) or CMC 
(MI-3) prior to responding to requests, including those from Members of 
Congress. The foregoing policy should be considered when weighing the 
releasability of the address or phone number of a specifically named individual.

10. For Official Use Only (FOUO). FOUO is a marking which is placed on documents
to alert the holder that they contain information that may be withheld under 
exemptions (b)(2) through (b)(9) of the FOIA. Because FOUO is not a security 
classification, exemption (b)(1) does not apply.

    a. Prior FOUO Application. The prior application of FOUO is not a conclusive
basis for withholding a record requested under FOIA. When such a record is 
requested, it shall be evaluated to determine whether FOIA exemptions apply in 
withholding all or portions of the record. Information which is reasonably 
segregable and does not fall under a FOIA exemption(s) must be released to the 
requester.

    b. Historical Papers. Records such as notes, working papers, and drafts 
retained as historical evidence of DON actions have no special status apart from
FOIA exemptions.

    c. Time to Mark Records. The marking of records as the time of their 
creation provides notice of FOUO content and facilitates review when a record is
requested under the FOIA. Records requested under FOIA that do not bear such 
markings, shall not be assumed to be releasable without examination for the 
presence of information that requires continued protection and qualifies as 
exempt from public release.

    d. Distribution Statement. Information in a technical document that requires
a distribution statement under reference (i) shall bear that statement and may 
be marked FOUO, as appropriate.

    e. Location of Markings

       (1) An unclassified document that contains FOUO information shall have 
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY typed, stamped, or printed in capital letters centered at 
the bottom on the outside of the front cover (if any), on each page containing 
FOUO information, and on the outside of the back cover (if any).

       (2) An unclassified directive that contains FOUO information shall have 
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY typed, stamped, or printed in capital letters centered at 
the bottom on the outside of the front cover (if any), on each page of the 
directive top and bottom, and on the outside of the back cover (if any).

                                      19

<PAGE>
 
5 June 1991


     (3) Within a classified document, an individual page that contains both 
FOUO and classified information shall be marked at the top and bottom with the 
highest security classification of information appearing on the page.

     (4) Within a classified or unclassified document, an individual page that 
contains FOUO information, but does not contain classified information, shall 
have FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY typed, stamped, or printed in capital letters 
centered at the top and bottom edge of the page.

     (5) Other records, such as photographs, films, cassette tapes, movies, or 
slides, shall be marked FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY so that a recipient or viewer 
knows the status of the information.

     (6) Unclassified automatic data processing (ADP) media with FOUO 
information shall be marked as follows:

         (a) An unclassified deck of punched or aperture cards with FOUO 
information shall be marked as a single document with FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 
marked on the face of the first and last card, and on the top of the deck.

         (b) An unclassified magnetic tape, cassette, or disk pack that contains
FOUO information shall have FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY marked externally on a 
removable label. The resulting hard copy report or computer printout shall 
reflect the FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY marking on the top and bottom of each page. It
may be accomplished by using a programmable header or marking the hard copy
manually.

     (7) FOUO material transmitted outside DON requires an expanded marking to
explain the significance of the FOUO marking. This may be accomplished by typing
or stamping the following statement on the record prior to transfer: "This
document contains information EXEMPT FROM MANDATORY DISCLOSURE under the FOIA.
Exemption(s)...apply(ies)."

  f. Release and Transmission Procedures. Until FOUO status is terminated, the 
following release and transmission instructions apply:

     (1) FOUO information may be disseminated within DON activities and between 
officials of the DON and contractors and grantees who conduct official business 
for the DON or DOD. Recipients shall be made aware of the status of such 
information, and transmission shall be by means that preclude unauthorized 
public disclosure. Transmittal documents shall call attention to the presence of
FOUO attachments.

     (2) DON holders of FOUO information may convey such information to 
officials in other departments or agencies of the executive and judicial 
branches to fulfill a governmental function, subject to any limitations 
contained in the PA pertaining to disclosure of personal information from PA 
record systems. When transmitting these records, ensure they are marked FOR 
OFFICIAL USE ONLY, and the recipient is advised the information has been exempt 
from public disclosure under FOIA and that special handling instructions do or 
do not apply. For purposes of disclosing records, DOD is the "agency."

     (3) Records released to Congress or the GAO should be reviewed to see if 
the information  warrants FOUO status. If not, prior FOUO markings shall be 
removed. If the withholding criteria are met, the records shall be marked FOUO 
and the recipient provided an explanation for such exemption and marking. 
Alternatively, the recipient may be requested, without marking the record, to 
protect it against public disclosure for reasons that are explained.

     (4) Each part of electronically transmitted messages containing FOUO 
information shall be marked appropriately. Unclassified messages containing FOUO
information shall contain the abbreviation "FOUO" before the 

                                      20

beginning of the text. Such messages shall be transmitted per communications 
security procedures in reference (j) for FOUO information.

     g. Transporting FOUO Information. Records which contain FOUO information 
shall be transported in a manner that precludes disclosure of contents. If not 
commingled with classified information, FOUO information may be sent via 
first-class mail or parcel post. Bulky shipments that otherwise qualify under 
postal regulations may be sent fourth-class mail.

     h. Safeguarding FOUO Information

        (1) During normal working hours, records determined to be FOUO shall be 
placed in an out-of-sight location if the work area is accessible to 
non-governmental personnel.

        (2) At the close of business. FOUO records shall be stored to preclude 
unauthorized access. Filing such material with other unclassified records in 
unlocked files, desks, or similar containers is adequate when U.S. Government or
government contractor internal building security is provided during non-duty 
hours. When internal security control is not exercised, locked buildings or 
rooms normally provide adequate after-hours protection. If such protection is
not considered adequate, FOUO material shall be stored in locked receptacles,
such as file cabinets, desks, or bookcases.  FOUO records that are subject to 
the provisions of the PA (reference (e)) shall meet the safeguards for that
group of records as outlined in the PA systems notice.

        (3) Guidance for safeguarding media marked FOUO and processed by an ADP 
system, activity, or network is addressed in reference (k).

     i. Termination. The originator or other competent authority, such as an IDA
or appellate authority, will terminate FOUO markings or status when the 
information no longer requires protection from public disclosure. When FOUO 
status is terminated, all known holders shall be notified as practical. Upon 
notification, holders shall remove the FOUO markings. Records in file or storage
need not be retrieved solely for that purpose.

     j. Disposal

        (1) Non-record copies of FOUO material (including hard copy reports and 
computer printouts) may be destroyed by tearing each copy into pieces to 
preclude reconstructing, and disposed in regular trash containers. When local 
circumstances or experiences indicates that this destruction method is 
insufficient, local authorities may direct other methods while considering the 
additional expense balanced against the Sensitivity of FOUO information in the 
records. FOUO information on unclassified magnetic storage media shall be 
disposed of by overwriting the media one time with any one character. Storage 
areas within an automated data processing system (internal memory, buffers, 
registers, and similar storage areas) may be cleared by using hardware clear 
switch, a power-on reset cycle, or a program designated to overwrite the storage
area.

        (2) Record copies of FOUO documents shall be disposed of following the 
disposal standards under the Records Disposal Manual for the particular kind of 
record.

     k. Unauthorized Disclosure. The unauthorized disclosure of FOUO records 
does not constitute an unauthorized disclosure of DON information classified for
security purposes. However, appropriate administrative or disciplinary action
shall be taken against those responsible. Unauthorized disclosure of FOUO
information that is protected by the PA may result in civil and criminal
sanctions against responsible person(s). The naval activity that originated the
FOUO information shall be informed of its unauthorized disclosure.

11. FOIA Appeals/Judicial Actions

    a. How to File an Appeal. The following guidelines should be followed by 
individuals wishing to appeal a denial of information, a request for 
waiver/reduction of fees, or a "no record" response:

       (1) The appeal must be received by the cognizant appellate authority 
(i.e., Navy JAG (NJAG) or the General Counsel (OGC)) within 60 days of the
date of the response.

       (2) The appeal letter must be in writing and requesters should provide a 
copy of the IDA's response when filing a written appeal to the Navy's appellate 
authorities (OGC or NJAG, depending on subject matter), regarding an IDA's 
decision that a record is exempt in whole or in part or because a naval activity
denied a request for a waiver/reduction of fees. The requester should include a 
copy of the denial letter and provide supporting rationale on why the appeal 
should be granted. The requester may appeal a "no records" response if he/she 
believes an adequate search of files was not conducted.

    b. Time of Receipt. The time limits for responding to a FOIA appeal commence
when the appeal reaches the office of the appellate authority having
jurisdiction over the record. Misdirected appeals should be referred
expeditiously to the proper appellate authority.

    c. Appellate Authorities.

       (1) Responsibility and Authority: NJAG and OGC are authorized to
adjudicate appeals made to SECNAV on denials of requests for copies of DON
records or portions thereof, or refusals to waive or reduce fees on matters
within their respective areas of cognizance. That includes the authority to
release or withhold records, or portions thereof, waive or reduce fees, and to
act as required by SECNAV for appeals under reference (a) and this instruction.
NJAG and OGC are further authorized to delegate this authority to a designated
Assistant NJAG and the Principal Deputy OGC, respectively, under such terms and
conditions as they may deem appropriate.

       (2) Respective areas of cognizance. As delineated in SECNAV Instructions
5430.25D and 5430.27A (NOTAL) the respective areas of cognizance of NJAG and OGC
for providing legal services for the DON are:

           (a) NJAG: In addition to military law, all matters except those
falling under the cognizance of OGC.

NAVSEA INSTRUCTION 5500.3A

From: Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command

Subj: CONTROL OF ACCESS TO VESSELS BY NON-U.S. CITIZENS

Ref:  (a) Title 50 U.S.C. Section 797 (1982)
      (b) DODDIR 5200.8
      (c) SECNAVINST 5511.36

      (h) DOD 5220.22-M

Encl: (1) Access to Vessels by Non-U.S. Citizens Clause
      (2) Access to Vessels by Non-U.S. Citizens (ACP Certification)

1. Purpose. To revise NAVSEA policy, guidelines, and procedures regarding the 
control of access to vessels by non-U.S. citizen contractor employees. This is a
major revision to the current instruction.

2. Cancellation. This instruction cancels NAVSEAINST 5500.3 of 22 Oct 1985.

3. Discussion

   a. References (a), (b), (c) and (d) provide authority for NAVSEA to issue 
regulations restricting access to vessels and sites at which vessels are being 
constructed, converted, repaired, or overhauled. These regulations are necessary
to protect the vessels and sites against destruction, loss, or injury by 
accident or enemy action, sabotage, or other subversive actions.

   b. Access to Navy vessels under construction, conversion, repair, or 
overhaul and to their work sites by non-U.S. citizen contractor employees must 
be accurately monitored and positively controlled as circumstances warrant. In 
order to do this effectively without unduly disrupting or encumbering current 
practices regarding employment of non-U.S. citizens by private industry, 
contractors who choose to employ non-U.S. citizens on contracts involving the 
construction, conversion, repair, or overhaul of naval vessels will be required 
to develop an Access Control Plan (ACP) which must include the minimum 
conditions and controls as set forth in enclosure (1).


<PAGE>

NAVSEAINST 5500.3A 
2 March 1988

4. Applicability

   a. This instruction applies to all vessels of the Navy under construction, 
conversion, repair, or overhaul and all associated work being performed under 
the cognizance of NAVSEA or its field activities within the continental United 
States and Hawaii. The term vessel includes every description of water craft or 
other artificial contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of 
transportation on water.

   b. Pursuant to Executive Order 12344 of 1 February 1982 as made permanent by
Section 1634 of Public Law 98-525, 19 October 1984, the Director, Navy Nuclear
Propulsion Program, who also acts as the Deputy Commander for Nuclear Propulsion
Program, who also acts as the Deputy Commander for Nuclear Propulsion (NAVSEA
08), is responsible for all matters pertaining to Navy Nuclear Propulsion.
Accordingly, the control of access to the propulsion plant spaces of naval
nuclear powered vessels or to any Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information,
classified or unclassified is governed by references (e), (f), and (g) and is
not subject to the provisions of this instruction.

   c. This instruction does not waive the requirements of reference (g), Chapter
2, Part 2, Paragraph 20210 concerning foreign visitors.

5. Policy

   a. Control over the access to naval vessels under construction, conversion,
repair, or overhaul by contractor employees not known to be U.S. citizens will
be maintained by NAVSEA pursuant to conditions and controls required by
enclosure (1) which will be included in each contract and agreement.

   b. No person not known to be a U.S. citizen shall be allowed to go on board
vessels of the Navy under construction, conversion, repair, or overhaul except
on the authority of COMNAVSEA or his designated field representative assigned
supervision of the construction, conversion, repair, or overhaul of the vessel.

   c. No person not known to be a U.S. citizen shall be allowed at the
construction, conversion, repair, or overhaul sites and areas adjacent thereto
as specifically designated, including but not limited to shops within naval or
commercial shipyards, repair facilities, docks, ways, drydocks, or piers, except
on authority of COMNAVSEA, or his designated field representative assigned
supervision of the construction, conversion, repair, or overhaul.

   d. No person not known to be a U.S. citizen shall be eligible for access as
provided by paragraphs b and c of this section, except upon a finding by
COMNAVSEA, or his designated field representative that such access should be
permitted in the best interest of the United States. Such a finding may be made
in the

                                                              2 March 1988

case of non-U.S. citizen contractor employees from friendly countries when the 
contractor employing these non-U.S. citizens on Navy ship work contracts has an 
approved ACP that meets, as a minimum, the requirements of enclosure (1). 
Notwithstanding the existence of an approved ACP, an individual determination 
must be made by COMNAVSEA or designated Headquarters representative, on the 
desirability of allowing access of non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or 
communist-controlled countries to U.S. Navy vessels. Specific data required for
these individuals are delineated in enclosure (1). A list of hostile and/or 
communist-controlled countries is set forth in reference (h).

    e. COMNAVSEA maintains authority for Controlled Industrial Area, nuclear
work areas, or any other area where Navy Nuclear Propulsion Information or work
is ongoing. NAVSEA 08 review and approval of Access Control Plans are required
for foreign access into these areas.

    f. A contractor's compliance with an approved ACP will be monitored and 
verified on a periodic basis by the cognizant Contract Administration Office 
(CAO). Noncompliance serves to cancel the authorization previously granted, and 
the contractor would then be precluded from the continued use of non-U.S. 
citizens on that contract until such time as compliance with an approved ACP is 
demonstrated. Continued use of non-U.S. citizen contractor employees without an 
approved ACP or when a previous authorization has been cancelled, is considered 
a violation of security regulations.

    g. When it is in the best interest of the United States, the previous 
authorization for access of non-U.S. citizen contractor employees may be 
cancelled by COMNAVSEA.

6.  Procedure

    a. The requirements of this instruction shall be invoked via the clause in
enclosure (1) which shall be included in all Navy contracts, agreements, and job
orders involving construction, conversion, repair and overhaul of Navy vessels
under construction, conversion, repair, or overhaul and all work associated
therewith which is being performed under the cognizance of NAVSEA or its field
activities and within the continental United States and Hawaii.

    b. A specific ACP is valid only for the contract or agreement for which it 
is approved. An ACP which is approved for a Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA),
an Agreement for Boat Repair (ABR), or a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) is valid
and applicable to all job orders awarded under the respective agreement.

<PAGE>

NAVSEAINST 5500.3A 
2 March 1988

7. Effective Date. The provisions of this instruction are applicable to all 
contracts and job orders as described herein which are solicited after 15 March 
1988. Existing contracts should be modified using the clause in enclosure (1), 
at the earliest practical time during the period of performance.

8. Action

   a. COMNAVSEA
    
      (1) COMNAVSEA, or Headquarters designee will have final authority to 
approve access by non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled 
countries. NAVSEA Access Control Plan Committee will provide initial 
recommendation based on information forwarded by Contract Administration 
Offices.

   b. NAVSEA Contracts Directorate

      (1) The NAVSEA Contracts Directorate will include the clause in enclosure 
(1) invoking the requirements of this instruction in all Headquarters 
solicitations for the construction, conversion, repair, or overhaul of naval 
vessels as applicable under paragraph 4 of this instruction. Enclosure (2) will 
also be included in all applicable Headquarters solicitation packages.

   c. NAVSEA Program Managers

      (1) The NAVSEA Program Manager's Data Manager will list the ACP as a 
Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) item.

   d. NAVSEA Security Manager

      (1) The NAVSEA Security Manager will establish and maintain guidelines 
indicating the criteria for an acceptable ACP.

   e. NAVSEA SUPSHIP Management Group

      (1) The NAVSEA SUPSHIP Management Group will serve as point of contact for
ACP matters.

   f. NAVSEA Access Control Plan Committee

      (1) The NAVSEA Access Control Plan (ACP) Committee, composed of 
representatives of the NAVSEA Security Manager and NAVSEA SUPSHIP Management 
Group, will provide initial determination of desirability of access to U.S. navy

                                                              2 March 1988

    g. Contract Administration Office (CAO)

       (1) The cognizant CAO will include the clause in enclosure (1) and the 
provision in enclosure (2) in all locally issued ship work or job order 
solicitations. The CAO will include the clause in enclosure (1) and list the ACP
as a CDRL item in all locally issued ship work or job order contracts.

       (2) The cognizant CAO will review all ACPs for adequacy and compliance 
with the requirements of enclosure (1), following guidelines promulgated by the
NAVSEA Security Manager. The CAO will also advise the contractor of the adequacy
of its ACP and, where satisfactory, will approve that ACP. That approval 
constitutes authorization to employ non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries on 
Navy ship work contracts subject to the policies of paragraph 5.

       (3) The cognizant CAO will forward all information concerning access of 
non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries to the NAVSEA
point of contact. Approval/disapproval of ACP will not be delayed for individual
access determinations, but CAO must notify the contractor that employees that 
fall in above category must be denied access until approval is received from 
COMNAVSEA or headquarters designee.

       (4) The cognizant CAO will develop a procedure to monitor and verify 
contractor's compliance with its ACP and advise the NAVSEA SUPSHIP Management 
Group of noncompliance or violations.

       (5) The cognizant CAO will maintain on file all data necessary to monitor
and verify contractors' compliance with the requirements of enclosure (1). For 
each contractor, the file must include a copy of its approved ACP and data 
reflecting number, nationality and positions held by non-U.S. citizen employees 
of friendly countries. Additional data will be maintained on non-U.S. citizens 
of hostile/communist-controlled countries approved for access to U.S. Navy 
vessels. Such additional data will include name, place of birth, citizenship (if
different from place of birth), date of entry to U.S., extenuating circumstances
(if any) concerning immigration to the U.S., number of years employed by 
contractor, position, and any stated intent concerning citizenship.

       (6) The cognizant CAO is responsible to NAVSEA for the oversight of 
contractor performance to ensure the contractor's compliance with the provisions
of its approved ACP.

    h. Contractor

       (1) Where non-U.S. citizen contractor employees are used for the
accomplishment of ship work under a specific agreement or contract, an ACP which
meets the requirements of enclosure (1)


<PAGE>

NAVSEAINST 5500.3A 
2 March 1988

must be developed by the contractor and submitted to the cognizant CAO for 
approval in accordance with the clause set forth in enclosure (1). Enclosure (2)
will be used to show intent of the contractor concerning use of non-U.S. citizen
employees, as well as approval ACP or action to develop ACP.

     (2) When non-U.S. citizen contractor employees are citizens of hostile 
and/or communist-controlled countries, the contractor is required to submit 
additional data including name, place of birth, citizenship (if different from 
place of birth) date of entry to U.S., extenuating circumstances (if any) 
concerning immigration to the U.S., number of years employed by contractor, 
position, and any stated intent concerning U.S. citizenship.

     (3) Prime contractors have full responsibility for the proper 
administration of the approved ACP for all work performed under the associated 
contract or agreement regardless of the location of the vessel and must ensure 
compliance by all subcontractors, technical representatives and other persons 
granted access to the vessel, adjacent area and work site.

                 ACCESS TO VESSELS BY NON-U.S. CITIZENS CLAUSE

(a) No person not known to be a U.S. citizen shall be eligible for access to 
naval vessels, work sites and adjacent areas when said vessels are under 
construction, conversion, overhaul, or repair, except upon a finding by NAVSEA 
or his designated representative that such access should be permitted in the 
best interest of the United States. The contractor shall establish procedures to
comply with the requirements of this clause and the NAVSEAINST 5500.3A in effect
on the date of this contract or agreement.

(b) If the contractor desires to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of 
work under this contract or agreement that requires access as specified in 
paragraph (a) to this clause, approval must be obtained prior to access for each
contract or agreement where such access is required. To request such approval 
for non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries, the contractor shall submit to the 
cognizant Contract Administration Office (CAO), an Access control Plan (ACP) 
which shall contain as a minimum, the following information:

     (1) Badge or Pass oriented identification, access, and movement 
control system for non-U.S. citizen employees with the badge or pass to be worn 
or displayed on outer garments at all times while on the contractor's facilities
and when performing work aboard ship.

          (i) Badges must be of such design and appearance that permits easy 
recognition to facilitate quick and positive identification.

          (ii) Access authorization and limitations for the bearer must be 
clearly established and in accordance with applicable security regulations and 
instructions.

          (iii) A control system, which provides rigid accountability procedures
for handling lost, damaged, forgotten, and no longer required badges, must be 
established.

          (iv) A badge or pass check must be performed at all points of entry to
the contractor's facilities or by a site supervisor for work performed on 
vessels outside of the contractor's plant.

     (2) Contractor's plan for ascertaining citizenship and for screening 
employees for security risk.

     (3) Data reflecting the number, nationality, and positions held by non-U.S.
citizen employees, including procedures to update as non-U.S. citizen employee 
data changes, and pass to cognizant CAO.

     (4) Contractor's plan for ensuring subcontractor compliance with the 
provisions of the contractor's ACP.

                                                                   Enclosure (1)
<PAGE>
 
NAVSEAINST 5500.3A
2 March 1988

     (5) These conditions and controls are intended to serve as guidelines 
representing the minimum requirements of an acceptable ACP. They are not meant 
to restrict the contractor in any way from imposing additional controls 
necessary to tailor these requirements to a specific facility.

(c) To request approval for non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or 
communist-controlled countries (listed in Department of Defense Manual, DOD 
5220.22M or available from cognizant CAO) contractor shall include in ACP the 
following employee data: name, place of birth, citizenship (if different from 
place of birth), date of entry to U.S., extenuating circumstances (if any) 
concerning immigration to U.S., number of years employed by contractor, 
position, and stated intent concerning U.S. citizenship. COMNAVSEA will make 
individual determinations of desirability of access for above group. Approval of
ACPs for access of non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries will not be delayed 
for approval of non-U.S. citizens of hostile communist-controlled countries. But
until COMNAVSEA approval is received, contractor must deny access to vessels for
employees who are non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled 
countries.

(d) An ACP which has been approved for specific Master Ship Repair Agreement 
(MSRA) or Agreement for Boat Repair (ABR) or Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), is 
valid and applicable to all job orders awarded under that agreement.

(e) The contractor shall fully comply with approved ACPs. Noncompliance by the 
contractor or subcontractor serves to cancel any authorization previously 
granted, in which case the contractor shall be precluded from the continued use 
of non-U.S. citizens on this contract or agreement until such time as compliance
with an approved ACP is demonstrated and upon a determination by the CAO that 
the Government's interests are protected. Further, the Government reserves the 
right to cancel previously granted authority when such cancellation is 
determined to be in the Government's best interest. Use of non-U.S. citizens, 
without an approved ACP or when a previous authorization has been cancelled, 
will be considered a violation of security regulations. Upon confirmation by the
CAO of such violation, this contract, agreement or any job order issued under 
this agreement may be terminated for default.

(f) Prime contractors have full responsibility for the proper administration of 
the approved ACP for all work performed under this contract or agreement 
regardless of the location of the vessel and must ensure compliance by all 
subcontractors, technical representatives and other persons granted access to 
U.S. Navy vessels, adjacent areas, and work sites.

(g) In the event the contractor does not intend to employ non-U.S. citizens in 
the performance of work under this contract, but has non-U.S. citizen employees,
such employees must be precluded from access to the vessel and its work site and
those shops where work on the vessel's equipment is being performed. The ACP 
must spell out how non-U.S. citizens are excluded from access to contract work 
areas.

(h) The same restriction as in paragraph (g) above applies to other non-U.S. 
citizens who have access to the contractor's facilities (e.g., for accomplishing
facility improvements, from foreign crewed vessels within its facilities, etc.).

                                                             SMALL BUSINESS PLAN



Flow-Down Clauses Pertaining to Small, Small Disadvantaged, and Women-Owned 
Small Business Concerns


        Avondale Industries, Inc., has teamed with three other companies to form
the Avondale Alliance to meet the challenge of the LPD 17 program:  Bath Iron 
Works (subcontractor); Hughes Aircraft Company (subcontractor); Intergraph 
Corporation (vendor).  All four alliance member companies are major concerns.

        This Plan for subcontracting to Small Business, Small Disadvantaged 
Business, and Women-Owned Small Business concerns will be flowed down to the 
Alliance member companies.

        Also, the clauses of the Plan and the requirements of FAR 52.219-9 
"Small, Small Disadvantaged, and Women-Owned Small Business Subcontracting Plan 
(October 1995) and Alternate II (March 1996)" will be flowed down to all 
companies to which Avondale will issue purchase orders and/or subcontracts.

SECTION B - ADDITIONAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

B-1. REFUNDS (SPARES AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT) (NAVSEA)
     (SEP 1990)

(a) In the event that the price of a spare part or item of support equipment 
delivered under this contract significantly exceeds its intrinsic value, the 
Contractor agrees to refund the difference. Refunds will only be made for the 
difference between the intrinsic value of the item at the time an agreement on 
price was reached and the contract price. Refunds will not be made to recoup the
amount of cost decreases that occur over time due to productivity gains (beyond 
economic purchase quantity considerations) or changes in market conditions.

(b) For purposes of this requirement, the intrinsic value of an item is defined 
as follows:

        (1) If the item is one which is sold or is substantially similar or 
functionally equivalent to one that is sold in substantial quantities to the 
general public, intrinsic value is the established catalog or market price, plus
the value of any unique requirements, including delivery terms, inspection, 
packaging, or labeling.

        (2) If there is no comparable item sold in substantial quantities to the
general public, intrinsic value is defined as the price an individual would 
expect to pay for the item based upon an economic purchase quantity as defined 
in FAR 52.207-4, plus the value of any unique requirements, including delivery 
terms, inspection, packaging or labeling.

(c) At any time up to two years after delivery of a spare part or item of 
support equipment, the Contracting Officer may notify the Contractor that based 
on all information available at the time of the notice, the price of the part or
item apparently exceeds its intrinsic value.

(d) If notified in accordance with paragraph (c) above, the Contractor agrees to
enter into good faith negotiations with the Government to determine if, and in 
what amount, the Government is entitled to a refund.

(e) If agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above cannot be reached, and the 
Navy's return of the new or unused item to the 


                                       5

Contractor is practical, the Navy, subject to the Contractor's agreement, may 
elect to return the item to the Contractor. Upon return of the item to its 
original point of Government acceptance, the Contractor shall refund in full the
price paid. If no agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above is reached, and 
return of the item by the Navy is impractical, the Contracting Officer may, with
the approval of the Head of the Contracting Activity, issue a Contracting 
Officer's final decision on the matter, subject to Contracting Officer's final 
decision on the matter, subject to Contractor appeal as provided in the 
"DISPUTES" clause (FAR 52.233-1).

(f) The Contractor will make refunds, as required under this requirement, in 
accordance with instructions from the Contracting Officer.

(g) The Contractor shall not be liable for a refund if the Contractor advised
the Contracting Officer in a timely manner that the price it would propose for a
spare part or item of support equipment exceeded its intrinsic value, and with
such advice, specified the estimated proposed price, the estimated intrinsic
value and known alternative sources or item, if any, that can meet the
requirement.

(h) This requirement does not apply to any spare parts or items of support 
equipment whose price is determined through adequate price competition. This
requirement also does not apply to any spare part or item of support equipment
with a unit price in excess of $100,000; or in excess of $25,000 if the
Contractor submitted, and certified the currency, accuracy and completeness of
cost or pricing data applicable to the item.

An Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) team approach shall be used
for the performance of this contract. The management structure is notionally
shown in Figure 1. It consists of co-located Government/Contractor personnel.
The IPPD team shall be composed of persons possessing the appropriate
disciplines, specialties and functions from both the Government and Contractor
and shall include major subcontractors/vendors. The team members shall be
delegated the responsibility, authority, and accountability for decision-making
and management actions necessary for successful performance of the Contract.

     The IPPD team shall interact in accordance with the Contract requirements, 
the approved IPPD Plan, the Integrated Management Plan (IMP) (see Table 1), and 
the Master Integrated Resource and Work Schedule (MIRWS), (see Table 2).  The 
IMP and the MIRWS are maintained as part of the common data environment called 
the Integrated Product Data Environment (IPDE).  The IPDE is an information 
system capability which implements, through phases, the integration of a product
model database with support and execution data in order to satisfy the 
information requirements for both the Government and Contractor.  Figure 2 
illustrates the concept which is described in greater detail in Attachment 
J0003.

         LEVEL II - SUPPORT DATA (VENDOR DRAWINGS, MANUALS, GFI, ETC.)
         LEVEL III - PROGRAM EXECUTION DATA (MIRWS, IMP, C/SCS, ETC.)

The IPDE provides the capability to concurrently develop, capture, update and 
re-use data in electronic form.  Figure 2 depicts the relationship between the 
product model data (Level I) and the other major components of the IPDE.  
Support data such as vendor drawings, GFI and other technical documentation 
(Level II) shall be integrated with the ship product model description and

                                                                N00024-97-C-2202


the associated data products.  The products developed to support the IPPD 
team management function (Level III type data) shall be linked with the ship 
product model and support data descriptions, such that any changes to the 
product model and support data descriptions via the change control process 
(Government or Contractor) shall permit automatic visibility of the impact upon 
the level III data.  Existing data repositories of support data shall be 
connected to function as part of the LPD 17 IPDE.

     The Contract requires a total ship systems integration effort. Through
concurrent engineering practices, the Contractor shall provide an incremental
design including ship systems integration, as well as construction, testing,
logistics and life cycle approach to fulfill total ship functional requirements.
The Contractor shall develop a comprehensive on-board training capability that
will support readiness requirements and reduced cost of ownership.

     The Contractor's detail design shall be subjected to a Production Readiness
Review (PRR), wherein the Contractor must satisfy mutually agreed upon PRR exit 
criteria, prior to the start of construction.

     The LPD 17 shall be constructed in accordance with the detail design 
developed by the Contractor.  The Contractor shall be responsible for 
integration and installation of all Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE) and 
Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) on the ship.  The IPPD team shall charter a
Combined Test Team (CTT) responsible for managing the Test and Evaluation 
Program (TEP).

     The Contract requires the implementation of an ILS program.  Commencing 
with detail design, the Contractor shall incorporate supportability design 
criteria and characteristics, to reduce ships' life cycle costs while achieving 
the goals of reliability, maintainability, and availability.  The Contractor 
shall develop a Configuration Management Program using the IPDE, which has the 
capability to manage and control the physical, functional, and data requirements
of each ship throughout its life cycle.

     The Government anticipates establishing and maintaining a long term 
relationship with the FSC throughout the service life of the LPD 17 Class.  The 
LPD 17 Class acquisition strategy includes a phased decision making process, 
beginning with the selection of an FSC and the FSC's cost reduction efforts 
initiated under CLIN 0001.  The relationship will continue if the Government 
exercises option CLIN 0009. The decision to exercise CLIN 0009 will be made
approximately 40 months after lead ship contract award. The Government's
decision to exercise CLIN 0009 will be based on an assessment of the
Contractor's achievements

regarding life cycle cost performance under this Contract, as well as its 
proposed prices for the next ship construction contract.

     The Contractor's subsequent performance under CLIN 0009, as well its 
proposed prices for the final ship construction contract and the LPD 17 Class 
Planning Yard Contract, will provide the basis for the Government's decision to 
award an LPD 17 Class Planning Yard Contract to the FSC concurrently with the 
award of the final ship construction contract.

     The Contractor shall establish R&M processes and procedures which focus 
upon measurable benefits (metrics) to the Government, such as total ship Mean 
Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), and Mean Logistics 
Delay Time (MLDT).

     A/o/ is a measure of the degree to which an item is in the operable and 
committable state at the start of a mission when the mission is called for at an
unknown (random) time.  The LPD 17 primary mission of amphibious warfare 
involving the embarking, transporting, and landing of Marines, requires total 
ship combat systems and HM&E equipment availability.  Total Ship A/o/ is defined
as (Uptime/Uptime+Downtime).  Downtime includes corrective maintenance time and 
spares logistics delay.  Preventive maintenance is performed so as not to 
interfere with the ship's mission and is therefore not included in downtime.

                                      57
<PAGE>
                                                                 N0024-97-C-2202

    A/o/ is quantified over the 120 day wartime Design Reference Mission (DRM), 
which is considered to fall within the first 6 month deployment of the 
Operational Schedule Timeline of Attachment J0002, using the NAVSEA TIGER RMA 
computer program (TIGER 9), employing the LPD 17 Amphibious Assault Ship 
Contract Design RMA Report 076-03D-TR-0031 as the starting baseline.

   Inherent availability (A/i/) is also quantified over the 120 day wartime DRM 
using the NAVSEA TIGER RMA computer program under the assumption that 100% of 
the range and depth of spares required for the mission are on-site and have no 
logistics delay times.  A/i/ represents the maximum availability that can be 
expected from the inherent design of the system.

   Mission reliability is the ability of an item to perform its required 
functions for the duration of the specified assault phase "mission profile".  
The LPD 17 assault phase Reliability (R/5/) is defined as the probability that 
all required systems will be available during the first 5 hours of the 
amphibious assault.

   The Contractor shall achieve, through its R&M processes and procedures, the 
following:

   a. Total Ship Inherent Availability (A/i/) of 0.95;

for office space, work areas, storage or shop areas, or other facilities and
services, necessary for the performance of the respective responsibilities
involved, and reasonable to their performance.

C-2.   ACCESS TO VESSELS BY NON-U.S. CITIZENS (NAVSEA) (MAY 1993)

(a)    No person not known to be a U.S citizen shall be eligible for access to
naval vessels, work sites and adjacent areas when said vessels are under
construction, conversion, overhaul, or repair, except upon a finding by
COMNAVSEA or his designated representative that such access should be permitted
in the best interest of the United States. The Contractor shall establish
procedures to comply with this requirement and NAVSEAINST 55OO.3 (series) in
effect on the date of this contract or agreement.

(b)    If the Contractor desires to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance
of work under this contract or agreement that requires access as specified in
paragraph (a) of this requirement, approval must be obtained prior to access for
each contract or agreement where such access is required. To request such

Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), is valid and applicable to all job orders
awarded under that agreement.

(e)  The Contractor shall fully comply with approved ACPs. Noncompliance by the
Contractor or subcontractor serves to cancel any authorization previously
granted, in which case the Contractor shall be precluded from the continued use
of non-U.S. citizens on this contract or agreement until such time as the
compliance with an approved ACP is demonstrated and upon a determination by the
CAO that the Government's interests are protected. Further, the Government
reserves the right to cancel previously granted authority when such cancellation
is determined to be in the Government's best interest. Use of non-U.S. citizens,
without an approved ACP or when a previous authorization has been canceled, will
be considered a violation of security regulations. Upon confirmation by the CAO
of such violation, this contract, agreement or any job order issued under this
agreement may be terminated or default in accordance with the clause entitled
"DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE SUPPLY AND SERVICE)" (FAR 52.249-8), "DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT)" (FAR 52.249-9) or "TERMINATION (COST
REIMSURSEMENT)" (FAR 52.249-6), as applicable.

excluding the effect of contract changes, shall be agreed upon and set forth in
a Supplemental Agreement.  All weight and moment differences to GFM resulting
from the correction of data for which accurate information was available prior
to the AWE or from the relocation of GFM at the discretion of the Contractor are
considered to be within the control of the Contractor.

(d)  The Contractor shall be responsible for the Full Load Displacement and KG
of the delivered ship(s) minus the weight and vertical moment values agreed upon
for contract changes and differences to GFM beyond its control. Also, the
Contractor shall be responsible for the delivery of the ship(s) with a trim and
list within the tolerances specified in the Section 070h. of the ship
specifications. The Contractor, however, will not be responsible for the net
total adverse effect on trim or list caused by contract changes and differences
to GFM beyond his control.

(e)  If the Contractor proposes contract changes solely for the purpose of
                                                 ------
meeting the values of displacement, KG, trim, or list required by this contract,
and if the Contracting Officer approves, the parties shall enter into a
Supplemental Agreement implementing such changes and such Supplemental Agreement
shall adjust the Estimated or Target Cost, the Fixed or Target Fee and delivery
schedule pursuant to the "Changes" clause except that no increase in the Fixed
or Target Fee or time for performance of the contract shall be considered in
arriving at the adjustment for such changes. Changes described in this
paragraph, as well as Value Engineering Changes that reduce weight, are not
considered contract changes when computing the Contractor responsible condition
described in paragraph (d) above.

(d)  Remedies
     --------

     (1)   Right to corrective or replacement action. In the event of a defect

within the scope of the Contractor's guarantee in paragraph (c) above, the
Government may: (i) require the Contractor to repair or replace, at the
Contractor's election, defective or nonconforming supplies, or (ii) require the
Contractor to furnish such materials or parts and installation instructions as
may be required to successfully accomplish the required correction or
replacement. The Contractor shall also prepare and furnish to the Government
data and reports applicable to any correction or replacement required under this
clause (including revision and updating of all affected data called for under
this contract). Except as otherwise provided in paragraph

                                      111
<PAGE>
 
                                                 N00024-97-C-2202


       (3) hereof, the cost of any action taken pursuant to this subparagraph
for replacement or correction shall be included in computing allowable cost
determined as provided in the clause of this contract entitled "ALLOWABLE COST
AND PAYMENT" (FAR 52.216-7), but no additional fee shall be payable with respect
thereto. Such supplies or lots of supplies shall not be tendered thereafter for
acceptance unless the former requirement of correction is disclosed.

       (2)    Right if Contractor fails to proceed. If the Contractor fails to
              ------------------------------------
proceed with reasonable promptness to replace or correct such supplies or lots
of supplies, the Government (i) may by contract or otherwise replace or correct
such supplies and charge to the Contractor any increased cost occasioned the
Government thereby, or may reduce any fee payable under this contract (or
require repayment of any fee theretofore paid) in such amount as may be
equitable under the circumstances, or (ii) may terminate this contract for
default as provided in the clause of this contract entitled "TERMINATION (COST-
REIMBURSEMENT)" (FAR 52.249-6). Failure to agree to the amount of any such
increased cost to be charged to the Contractor or to such reduction in, or
repayment of, the fee shall be a dispute within the meaning of the clause of
this contract entitled "DISPUTES" (FAR 52.233-1).

       (3)    Additional Remedy. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
              -----------------
(c) and (d) hereof, the Government may at any time require the correction or
replacement by the Contractor, without cost to the Government, of supplies or
lots of supplies which are defective in material or workmanship, or otherwise
not in conformity with the requirements of this contract, if such defects or
failures are due to fraud, lack of good faith, or willful misconduct on the part
of any of the Contractor's directors or officers, or on the part of any of his
managers, superintendents, or other equivalent representatives, who has
supervision or direction of (i) all or substantially all of the Contractor's
business, or (ii) all or substantially all of the Contractor's operations at any
one plant or separate location in which this contract is being performed, or
(iii) a separate and complete major industrial operation in connection with the
performance of this contract. The Government may at any time also require
correction or replacement by the Contractor, without cost to the Government, of
any such defective supplies or lots of supplies if the defects or failures are
caused by one or more individual employees selected or retained by the
Contractor after any such supervisory personnel has reasonable grounds to
believe that such employee is habitually careless or otherwise unqualified.

(e)    Corrected or Replaced Supplies.

with respect to such supplies or parts thereof shall be six (6) months from the
date of delivery and/or correction of such corrected or replaced supplies or
until the expiration of the original guaranty period (whichever period is
longer).

       (2)  The guaranty period set forth in (c) above shall be extended by the
time during which the vessel is not available for unrestricted service by reason
of any breach of the guarantee in paragraph (c) above. This requirement applies
to individual subcontractor furnished supplies only to the extent that each
individual supply is the cause of the vessel not being available for such
service.

(f)    Additional Provisions
       ---------------------

       (1)  All implied warranties of merchantability and "fitness for a
particular purpose" are hereby excluded from any obligation contained in this

be constructed and delivered under this contract.

(a)  The vessel shall not be presented for acceptance trials until it is
determined by the Government the Contractor has satisfactorily carried out those
parts of the builder's trials for which the Contractor is responsible, including
builder's dock and sea trials, and that the Contractor has:

          (i)    Corrected all Contractor responsible deficiencies discovered
before completion of all builder's sea trials, unless otherwise agreed to in
writing by the Contracting Officer; and

          (ii)   Corrected all Contractor responsible deficiencies discovered
after completion of the builder's sea trials which are determined by the
Contracting Officer to be necessary to avoid an adverse effect on the
operational capability of the vessel.

(b)  The Contractor shall be responsible for scheduling an interval of a minimum
of thirty (30) days between the satisfactory completion  of acceptance trials
and delivery of the vessel.  During this period, the Contractor shall
satisfactorily correct all Contractor responsible deficiencies, whether
discovered before, during, or after completion of acceptance trials, which are
determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary to avoid an adverse effect
on the operational capability of the vessel.

(c)  Prior to delivery of the vessel, to the extent necessary for tests, crew
training, or operations which the Government is to perform and which do not
require the Government to have control of the entire vessel, the Contractor
shall make parts of the vessel available to the Government; to the extent
necessary for tests, crew training, trials or operations which the Government is
to perform and which require the Government to have control of the entire
vessel, such as alongside training, fast cruise and

underway trials, the Contractor shall make the entire vessel available to
the Government at dockside, at the Contractor's plant, for such periods of
time as are necessary for such trials and operations.  During all periods of
time when the entire vessel is made available to the Government, the Contractor
shall, as requested by the Government, and required by the specifications,
provide technical assistance and provide assistance necessary to correct defects
which develop or are discovered during trials or operations of the vessel.
Following the completion of each such trial or operation, the Government shall
return the vessel to the Contractor at dockside, at the Contractor's plant, for
the correction of defects, if any, and completion of construction in accordance
with the terms of this contract.

(d)    Upon satisfactory completion of acceptance trials and of the correction
of deficiencies as provided in paragraph (b) above, the Contractor shall deliver
the vessel to the Government for preliminary acceptance.

(e)    Following preliminary acceptance, the Government may, during the guaranty
period, make the vessel available to the Contractor, at the Contractor's plant
for (i) correction of defects noted at the time of preliminary acceptance, or
which are discovered during the guaranty period, and (ii) for the performance of
any additional work required by change orders issued pursuant to the "CHANGES"
clause of this contract prior to preliminary acceptance and not theretofore
performed. If the Government elects to make the vessel(s) available to the
Contractor, at the Contractor's plant, for the accomplishment of the above
described post delivery work, the Contractor agrees to accept the vessel(s) and
perform the work. The Contractor agrees to consider the accomplishment of
additional work during the post-shakedown availability under a standard
Government contract. If the post-shakedown availability period shall begin
during but extend beyond the expiration of the guaranty period, the Government
may during the extended period, leave the vessel at the Contractor's plant or
return the vessel thereto for the correction of defects not previously corrected
and for the performance of any additional work required by change orders issued
pursuant to the "CHANGES" clause of this contract prior to preliminary
acceptance and not theretofore performed.

(f)    The Contractor shall exercise reasonable care to protect the vessel at
all times until the delivery of the vessel, and thereafter during such times as
the vessel is at the Contractor's plant during the guaranty period or during the
post-shakedown availability period if the latter shall extend beyond the
expiration of the guaranty period, except for periods of time when the entire
vessel is made available to the Government.

During such periods, while the vessel is at the Contractor's plant, the
Contractor shall provide assistance to protect and service the vessel, and shall
effect any correction of defects or performance of uncompleted work, to the
extent permitted or required by the Government.

(g)  In accordance with the inspection provisions of the contract, all actions
of the Government pursuant to this requirement shall be performed in such a
manner as to not unduly delay the work.

information furnished shall be in sufficient detail to permit the Contracting
Officer to cross-reference the claimed increased costs, or delay in delivery, or
both, as appropriate, as set forth in the SF 1411, with the information
submitted pursuant to subparagraphs (b) (1) through (b) (8) hereof.

entitled "CERTIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND REQUESTS FOR ADJUSTMENT OR RELIEF" (DFARS
252.233-7000) shall be complied with.

any party, which has not previously been included in the contract price.

H-8. NAVSEA 5252.228-9106 INSURANCE-PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE-LIABILITY TO THIRD

established by the Department to represent the value of materials and equipment
furnished by the Government for installation by the Contractor, or (ii) Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000), whichever shall be less. The Government will
indemnify the Contractor against liabilities (including expenses incidental
thereto) to third persons which, but for the limitation on amount specified in
this paragraph, would have been covered by such Collision Liability and
Protection and Indemnity Liabilities Insurance, and which are not compensated
for by insurance or otherwise, provided such liabilities are represented by
final judgments or by settlements approved in writing by the Department. The
Contractor shall not, however, be so indemnified against liabilities with
respect to which the Contractor has failed to procure or maintain insurance, if
available, as required or approved by the Department. The Contractor shall
promptly notify the Department of each suit or action filed and each claim made
against which the Contractor may be

entitled to indemnification under this paragraph.  The Contractor shall furnish
the Department with copies of all papers received with respect to each suit,
action or claim and, if requested by the Department, shall authorize
representatives of the Government to settle, or direct or take charge of the
defense of, such suit, action or claim. In the absence of such request, the
Contractor shall diligently proceed with such defense.  The Government's
liability under this paragraph (a) and the Collision Liability and Protection
and Indemnity Liabilities Insurance forms set forth in the pamphlet entitled
"Standard Forms of Marine Builders Risk (Navy Form Syndicate) and War Damage
Insurance Policies, referred to in Vessel Contracts of the Bureau of Ships,
dated 23 November 1942, is subject to the availability of appropriated funds at
the time a contingency occurs. Nothing in this contract shall be construed as
implying that the Congress will, at a later date, appropriate funds sufficient
to meet deficiencies.

(b)  The cost of the insurance required by paragraph (a) of this requirement is
included in the estimated cost and the cost of all other insurance which may be
required or approved pursuant to this requirement will reimbursed to the
Contractor. If the Department should require or approve the cancellation of any
insurance or any insurance is otherwise canceled, the Contractor will promptly
pay to the Government the amount of all unearned premiums refunded to the
Contractor, but only to the extent that such premiums shall have been reimbursed
to the Contractor by the Government.

(c)  All insurance which is or may be required or approved pursuant to this
requirement shall be in such form, in such amounts, for such periods of time,
and with such insurers as the Department may from time to time require or
approve, provided the Contractor and the Government shall be named as insureds
and shall be entitled to payment of any loss or damage as its interests may
appear. The policies or certificates of insurance shall be deposited with the
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (R,D&A), Insurance Office, or as the Department
may otherwise direct.

(d)  The indemnification afforded by the Government to the Contractor for the
purposes of this requirement is without regard and as an exception to the clause
of this contract entitled "LIMITATION OF COST" (FAR 52.232-20).


H-10. NAVSEA 5252.243-9105 NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES (CT) (JAN 1983)

                                      128
<PAGE>
 
(a)  Definitions.  As used in this requirement, the term "Contracting Officer" 
     -----------
does not include any representative of the Contracting Officer whether or not 
such representative is acting within the scope of his authority nor does it 
include any other individuals or activities that in any way communicate with the
Contractor. As used in this requirement, the term "conduct" includes both 
actions and failures to act, and includes the furnishing of, or the failure to 
furnish, any item under any requirement of this contract.

(b)  Notice.  The primary purpose of this requirement is to obtain prompt 
     ------
reporting of any conduct which the Contractor considers would constitute or 
would require a change to this contract. The parties acknowledge that proper 
administration of this contract requires that potential changes be identified 
and resolved as they arise. Therefore, except for changes identified as such in 
writing and signed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall notify the 
Contracting Officer of any conduct which the Contractor considers would 
constitute or would require a change to this contract. Such notice shall be
provided promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days from the 
date the Contractor identifies any such conduct. The Notice shall be written and
shall state, on the basis of the most accurate information available to the 
Contractor:

     (i)  The date, nature, and circumstances of the conduct regarded as a 
change;

    (ii)  The name, function, and activity of the individuals directly involved 
in or knowledgeable about such conduct;

   (iii)  The identification of any documents and the substance of any oral 
communication involved in such conduct;

    (iv)  The particular elements of contract performance for which the 
Contractor might seek an equitable adjustment under this requirement, including:

          (1)  What ship(s) have been or might be affected by the potential 
               change;

          (2)  To the extent practicable, labor or materials or both which have
               been or might be added, deleted, or wasted by the potential
               change;

                                      129
<PAGE>
 
          (3)  To the extent practicable, the Contractor's preliminary order of
               magnitude estimate of cost and schedule effect of the potential
               change; and

          (4)  What and in what manner are the particular technical requirements
               or contract requirements regarded as changed.

(c)  Continued Performance.  Except as provided in paragraph (f) below, 
     ---------------------
following submission of notice, the Contractor shall take no action to implement
a potential change until advised by the Contracting Officer in writing as 
provided in (d) below, unless the potential change was previously directed by 
the Contracting Officer, in which case the Contractor shall conform therewith. 
Nothing in this paragraph (c) shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with 
contract work other than implementation of the potential change or 
from proceeding in accordance with directions issued by the Contracting Officer.

(d)  Government Response.  The Contracting Officer shall promptly, and in any 
     -------------------
event within twenty-one (21) calendar days after receipt of Notice, respond 
thereto in writing. In such response, the Contracting officer shall either:

          (i)  Confirm that the conduct of which the Contractor gave notice
               would constitute a change, and when necessary, direct the mode of
               further performance, or;

         (ii)  Countermand any conduct regarded by the Contractor as a change, 
               or;

        (iii)  Deny that the conduct of which the Contractor gave notice would
               constitute a change and, when necessary, direct the mode of
               further performance, or;

         (iv)  In the event the Contractor's notice information is inadequate to
               make a decision under (i), (ii) or (iii) above, advise the
               Contractor what additional information is required. Failure of
               the Government to respond within the time required above shall be
               deemed a countermand under (d) (ii).

(e)  Equitable Adjustment.  Equitable adjustments for changes confirmed or 
     --------------------
countermanded by the Contracting Officer shall be made in accordance with the 
clause of this 

                                      130
<PAGE>
 
contract entitled "CHANGES", or any other requirement of this contract which 
provides for an equitable adjustment.

(f)  Special Procedures.  Paragraph (c) provides that the Contractor is to take 
     ------------------
no action to implement a potential change pending the Contracting Officer's 
response to the Contractor's notice of the potential change, except where 
specifically directed by the Contracting Officer. In special situations, 
however, where

     (1)  The circumstances do not allow sufficient time to notify the 
Contracting Officer of the facts prior to the need to proceed with the work, 
and;

     (2)  The work must proceed to avoid hazards to personnel or property or to 
avoid additional cost to the Government, the Contractor may proceed with work in
accordance with the potential change. In such special situations, the Contractor
shall advise the Contracting Officer in writing within ten (10) days of the
conduct giving rise to the potential change that the Contractor has proceeded
and shall describe the nature of the special situation which required proceeding
prior to notification. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the conduct giving
rise to the potential change, the Contractor shall provide notice as required in
(b) above. The Contracting Officer shall respond as set forth in (d) above. If
the Contracting Officer determines that the conduct constitutes a change and
countermands it, the Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment for
performance in accordance with that change prior to the countermand including
performance resulting from the countermand.

(g)  When the Contractor identifies any conduct which may result in delay to 
delivery of the ship(s), the Contractor shall promptly so inform the Contracting
Officer thereof prior to providing the notice required by paragraph (b) above.

(h)  Despite good faith best efforts, occasions may arise in which the 
Contractor does not provide notice within the time periods specified in 
paragraphs (b) and (f) above. Accordingly, prior to the end of the first and 
third quarters of each calendar year through the period of performance of this 
contract, beginning with the     *  quarter of  *  , the Contractor shall 
                             -----            -----
deliver to the Government an executed bilateral contract modification, in the 
format set forth in Exhibit "A" to this requirement,

                                      131
<PAGE>
 
covering the six month period of time ending with the second and fourth 
quarters, respectively, of the preceding year, with such specific exceptions, if
any, as are identified by the Contractor. If the Contractor cites specific 
exceptions to the release, the Contractor shall concurrently provide the 
Contracting Officer with notice, containing the information set forth in 
paragraph (b) of this requirement, for each item excepted from the release. 
However, the release required by this requirement shall not make unallowable any
costs which are otherwise allowable under any other requirement of this
contract.

     Within sixty (60) days of receipt of the release, the Contracting Officer 
shall sign and return a copy of the release to the Contractor. If the 
Contracting Officer fails to execute and return the release within the required 
time, then the release shall be deemed to be void and of no effect for the 
period involved.

(i)  If the release in accordance with paragraph (h) above is not provided to 
the Government by the Contractor in the time required, the Contracting Officer 
may execute the release as set forth in Exhibit "A" and send it to the 
Contractor. If the Contractor fails to execute the release and return it to the 
Government (with any specific exceptions) within sixty (60) days of receipt 
thereof, the required release shall then be deemed effective as if signed by the
Contractor.

- --------------------------------------------------------------

This modification reflects the agreement of the parties to the mutual full and 
final releases for the consequences of that conduct (as conduct is defined in

                                      ----

     b.   The Contractor, for itself, its successors, assigns, vendors,

entitlement of the Contractor to equitable adjustment of the contract cost and 
fee and/or delivery schedule of this contract or of any other Government 
contract (with this or any other Contractor) or any contract between the 
Contractor and any third party by reason of any conduct which increases the 
Contractor's cost or time of performance of work under this contract and meets 
the following conditions (1) known to the Contractor, (2) occurred on or before 
 *   and (3) the Contractor failed to give notice prior to date of this release,
- ---
and (ii) any and all liabilities to the Contractor for money damages and/or 
other relief for the impact of any such conduct, upon this contract or any other
Government contract (with this or any other Contractor) or any contract between 
the Contractor and any third party.

H-11. NAVSEA 5252.216-9110 ORDERS (FIXED-PRICE) (MAY 1993) (APPLICABLE TO ITEMS 
0006, 0008 AND 0010)

(a)  General.  Orders for supplies or services specified in Section B of the 
     -------
Schedule may be issued by the Contracting Officer at any time during the 
effective period of this agreement. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 
(e) below, the Contractor agrees to accept and perform orders issued by the 
Contracting Officer within the scope of this agreement. It is understood and 
agreed that the Government has no obligation under the terms of this agreement 
to issue any orders. Except as otherwise provided in any order, the Contractor 
shall furnish all materials and services necessary to accomplish the work 
specified in each order issued hereunder; provided, however, that this agreement
shall not be used for the furnishing of supplies or services which are covered 
by any "guaranty" or "warranty" clause(s) of the contract(s) under which the 
supplies were manufactured. In the event of any inconsistency between any order 
and this agreement, this agreement shall control. All requirements of this 
agreement shall be applicable to all orders issued hereunder. Wherever the word 
"contract"  appears in this agreement, it shall be deemed to include within its 
meaning the word "order", and each order shall be considered a separate binding 
contract as of its effective date. The Contractor shall segregate the costs 
incurred in 

                                      133
<PAGE>
 
the performance of any order issued hereunder from the costs of all other orders
issued under this agreement.

(b)  Ordering. Orders and revisions thereto shall be made in writing and be 
     --------
signed by any authorized Contracting Officer cited in paragraph (i). Each order
shall:

          (1)  set forth detailed specifications or requirements for the
               supplies or services being ordered, (or reference applicable
               specifications or requirements in Section C of this agreement),
               and, shall refer to the appropriate item under Section B of this
               agreement;

          (2)  set forth quantities being ordered;

          (3)  set forth preservation, packaging and packing instructions, if 
               any;

          (4)  set forth delivery or performance dates;

          (5)  designate the place(s) where inspection and acceptance will be
               made by the Government;

          (6)  set forth either the firm contract price or, in the case of an
               undefinitized order, the definitization schedule and both the
               monetary limitation on Government liability for the undefinitized
               order and the maximum ceiling amount at which the order may be
               definitized;

          (7)  set forth appropriation and accounting data for the work being 
               ordered;

          (8)  set forth any discount offered for prompt payment;

          (9)  be dated;

         (10)  be identified by number in accordance with DFARS 204.7004;

         (11)  set forth the property, if any, to be furnished by the Government
               and the date(s) such property is to be delivered to the
               Contractor;

                                      134

<PAGE>
 
          (12)  set forth the disbursing office where payment is to be made and 
                other applicable contract administration data;

          (13)  cite the applicable circumstance or exception and the
                justification control number. Orders for items not identified in
                the class justification, or an individual justification, and the
                basic ordering agreement are unauthorized;

          (14)  be issued on an SF 26 or a DD Form 1155; and 

          (15)  set forth any other pertinent information.

(c)  Firm Priced Orders.  Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d) below,
     ------------------
the Contractor shall not begin any work on an order until a firm priced order is
issued by the Contracting Officer. Upon receipt of a proposed order, the
Contractor shall promptly submit to the Contracting Officer a price proposal for
the work specified in the order. The Contractor agrees that it will submit a
signed SF 1411 (Contract Pricing Proposal) or such other cost or pricing data as
the Contracting Officer may require. Promptly after receipt of the Contractor's
proposal and supporting cost or pricing data, the Contractor and the Contracting
Officer shall negotiate and agree upon a price and delivery schedule for the
work being ordered. The price and delivery schedule, as agreed upon, shall be
set forth in the priced order and the order shall be signed by both the
Contracting Officer and the Contractor. Upon receipt of the priced order, the
Contractor shall promptly commence work and shall diligently complete it.

(d)  Undefinitized Orders.  Whenever the Contracting Officer determines that 
     --------------------
urgent demands or requirements prevent the issuance of a firm priced order, the
Contracting Officer may issue an unpriced order. Such order may be unilateral or
bilateral and shall establish a limitation on Government liability, a maximum
ceiling amount and a schedule for definitization, as described in subparagraph
(f) (2) below. Upon request, the Contractor shall submit a maximum ceiling
amount proposal before the undefinitized order is issued. The maximum ceiling
amount is the maximum price at which the order may be definitized. Except as
provided in paragraph (e) below, the Contractor shall commence performance of
the order upon receipt. The clause entitled "PRICE CEILING" (DFARS 252.217-7027)
shall be included in any undefinitized order.

                                      135



<PAGE>
 
(e)  Rejection of Unilateral Orders.  The Contractor may reject any unilateral 
     ------------------------------
order if the Contractor determines it cannot feasibly perform the order, or if 
it does not concur with the maximum ceiling amount.  However, each 
unilateral order shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor unless 
within fifteen (15) days of issuance of the order the Contractor notifies the 
Contracting Officer in writing of its rejection of the order.

(f)  Definitization of Undefinitized Orders.  (1) The Contractor agrees that 
     --------------------------------------
following the issuance of an undefinitized order, it will promptly begin
negotiating with the Contracting Officer the price and terms of definitive order
that will include: (A) all clauses required by regulation on the date of the
order; (B) all clauses required by law on the date of execution of the
definitive order; and, (C) other mutually agreeable clauses, terms and/or
conditions. No later than sixty (60) days after the undefinitized order is
issued, the Contractor shall submit a cost proposal with sufficient data to
support the accuracy and derivation of its price; and, when required by FAR or
the Contracting Officer, cost or pricing data, including SF 1411. If additional
cost information is available prior to the conclusion of negotiations, the
Contractor shall provide that information to the Contracting Officer. The price
agreed upon shall be set forth in a bilateral modification to the order. In no
event shall the price exceed the maximum ceiling amount specified in the
undefinitized order.

     (2)  Each undefinitized order shall contain a schedule for definitization
which shall include a target date for definitization and dates for submission of
a qualifying proposal, beginning of negotiations and, if appropriate, submission
of make-or-buy and subcontracting plans and cost or pricing data. Submission
of a qualifying proposal in accordance with the definitization schedule is a
material element of the order. The schedule shall provide for definitization of
the order by the earlier of:

          (i)  specified target date which is not more than 180 days after the
               issuance of the undefinitized order. However, that target date
               may be extended by the Contracting Officer for up to 180 days
               after the Contractor submits a qualifying proposal as defined in
               DFARS 217.7401; or

         (ii)  the date on which the amount of funds expended by the Contractor 
               under the undefinitized order exceeds fifty percent

                                      136


<PAGE>
 
          (50%) of the order's maximum ceiling amount, except as provided in 
          subparagraph (f)(3) below.

     (3)  If agreement on a definitive order is not reached within the time 
provided pursuant to subparagraph (f)(2) above, the Contracting Officer may, 
with the approval of the Head of the Contracting Activity, determine a 
reasonable price in accordance with Subpart 15.8 and Part 31 of the FAR, and 
issue a unilateral order subject to Contractor appeal as provided in the 
"DISPUTES" clause (FAR 52.233-1). In any event, the Contractor shall proceed 
with completion of the order, subject to the "LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT 
LIABILITY" clause (FAR 52.216-24).

(g) Limitation of Government Liability. (1) Each undefinitized order shall set
    ----------------------------------
forth the limitation of Government liability, which shall be the maximum amount
that the Government will be obligated to pay the Contractor for performance of
the order until the order is definitized. The Contractor is not authorized to
make expenditures or incur obligations exceeding the limitation of Government
liability set forth in the order. If such expenditures are made, or if such
obligations are incurred, those expenditures and obligations will be at the
Contractor's sole risk and expense. Further, the limitation of liability shall
be the maximum Government liability if the order is terminated. The clause at
FAR 52.216-24 shall be included in any undefinitized order.

     (2)  Except for undefinitized orders for Foreign Military Sales; purchases 
of less than $25,000; special access programs; and Congressionally-mandated long
lead procurements; and except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (g)(3) 
below, the limitation of Government liability shall not exceed fifty percent 
(50%) of the maximum ceiling amount of an undefinitized order. In the case of 
orders within these excepted categories, however, the procedures set forth 
herein shall be followed to the maximum extent practical.

     (3)  If the Contractor submits a qualifying proposal, as defined in DFARS 
217.7401, to definitize an order before the Contractor has incurred costs in 
excess of fifty percent (50%) of the maximum ceiling amount, the Contracting 
Officer may increase the limitation of Government liability up to no more than 
seventy-five percent (75%) of the maximum ceiling amount or up to seventy-five 
percent (75%) of the price proposed by the Contractor, whichever is less.

                                      137
<PAGE>
 
     (4) If at any time the Contractor believes that its expenditures under an 
order will exceed the limitation of Government liability, the Contractor shall 
so notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, and propose an appropriate 
increase in the limitation of Government liability of such order. Within thirty 
(30) days of such notice, the Contracting Officer will either (i) notify the 
Contractor in writing of such appropriate increase, or (ii) instruct the 
Contractor how and to what extent the work shall be continued; provided, 
however, that in no event shall the Contractor be obligated to proceed with work
on an undefinitized order beyond the point where its costs incurred plus a 
reasonable profit exceed the limitation of Government liability, and provided 
also that in no event shall the Government be obligated to pay the Contractor 
any amount in excess of the limitation of Government liability specified in any 
such order prior to definitization.

(h)  Initial Spares. The limitations set forth in paragraph (d) and
     --------------
subparagraphs (f) (2), (g) (2) and (g) (3), do not apply to undefinitized orders
for the purchase of initial spares.

(i) Ordering Activities. The following activities are authorized to issue orders
    -------------------
hereunder:

                   -NAVSEA PMS 317
         
                   -Supervisor of Shipbuilding Conversion and Repair, USN (TBD)

The Contracting Officer of the Ordering Activity shall forward a copy of each 
executed order marked "DD-350", to the Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, 
ATTN: SEA 0294. 

H-12. NAVESEA 5252. 243-9113 OTHER CHANGE PROPOSALS (CT) (JAN 1990)

(a)  The Contracting Officer, in addition to proposing engineering changes 
pursuant to other requirements of this contract, and in addition to issuing 
changes pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "CHANGES", may propose 
other changes within the general scope of this contract as set forth below. 
Within forty-five (45) days from the date of receipt of any such proposed 
change, or within such further time as the Contracting Officer may allow, the 
Contractor shall submit the proposed scope of work, plans and sketches, and its 
estimate of: (A) the cost, (B) the weight and moment effect, (C) effect on 
delivery dates of the vessel(s), and (D) status of work on the vessels

                                      138
<PAGE>
 
affected by the proposed change. The proposed scope of work and estimate of cost
shall be in such form and supported by such reasonably detailed information as 
the Contracting Officer may require. Within sixty (60) days from the date of 
receipt of the Contractors's estimate, the Contractor agrees to either (A) enter
into a supplemental agreement covering the estimate as submitted, or (B) if the 
estimate as submitted is not satisfactory to the Contracting Officer, enter into
negotiations in good faith leading to the execution of a bilateral supplemental 
agreement. In either case, the supplemental agreement shall cover an equitable 
adjustment in the contract cost and fee including an equitable adjustment for 
the preparatory work set forth above, scope, and all other necessary equitable 
adjustments. The Contractor's estimate referred to in this subparagraph shall be
a firm offer for sixty (60) days from and after the receipt thereof by the 
Contracting Officer having cognizance thereof, unless such period of time is 
extended by mutual consent.

(b) Pending execution of a bilateral agreement or the direction of the 
Contracting Officer pursuant to the "CHANGES" clause, the Contractor shall 
proceed diligently with contract performance without regard to the effect of any
such proposed change.

(c) In the event that a change proposed by the Contracting Officer is not 
incorporated into the contract, the work done by the Contractor in preparing the
estimate in accordance with subparagraph (a) above shall be treated as if
ordered by the Contracting Officer under the "CHANGES" clause. The Contractor
shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the contract cost and fee for
the effort required under subparagraph (a), but the Contractor shall not be
entitled to any adjustment in delivery date. Failure to agree to such equitable
adjustment in the contract cost and fee shall be a dispute within the meaning of
the clause of this contract entitled "DISPUTES" (FAR 52.233-1).

      (MAY 1993)
      (APPLICABLE TO ITEM 0007)

(a) General. Orders for supplies or services specified in Section B of the

<PAGE>
 
Government has no obligation under the terms of this agreement to issue any 
orders. Except as otherwise provided in any order, the Contractor shall furnish 
all materials and services necessary to accomplish the work specified in each 
order issued hereunder; provided, however, that this agreement shall not be used
for the furnishing of supplies or services which are covered by any "guaranty"
or "warranty" clause(s) of the contract(s) under which the supplies were
manufactured. In the event of any inconsistency between any order and this
agreement, this agreement shall control. All the requirements of this agreement
shall be applicable to all orders issued hereunder. Wherever the word "contract"
appears in this agreement, it shall be deemed to include within its meaning the
word "order", and each order shall be considered a separate binding contract as
of its effective date. The Contractor shall segregate the costs incurred in the
performance of any order issued hereunder from the costs of all other orders
issued under this agreement.

(b) Ordering. Orders and revisions thereto shall be made in writing and be 
    --------
signed by any authorized Contracting Officer cited in paragraph (i). Each order 
shall:

          (1) set forth detailed specifications or requirements for the supplies
              or services being ordered, (or reference applicable specifications
              or requirements in Section C of this agreement), and, if

              monetary limitation on Government liability for the undefinitized
              order and the maximum ceiling amount at which the order may be
              definitized;

                                      140

         (13)  be issued on an SF 26 or DD Form 1155; and

         (14)  set forth any other pertinent information.

(c) Priced Orders. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d) below, the 
    -------------
Contractor shall not being any work on an order until the estimated cost and 
fixed fee for the order have been agreed upon by the Contracting Officer and 
Contractor and an order is issued by the Contracting Officer. Upon receipt of a 
proposed order, the Contractor shall promptly submit to the Contracting Officer 
a cost proposal for the work specified in the order. The Contractor shall submit
a signed SF 1411 (Contract Pricing Proposal) or such other cost or pricing data
as the Contracting Officer may require. Promptly after receipt of the 
Contractor's proposal and supporting cost or pricing data, the Contractor and 
the Contracting Officer shall negotiate and agree upon the estimated cost, fixed
fee, and delivery schedule for the work being ordered. The estimated cost, fixed
fee, and delivery schedule, as agreed upon, shall be set forth in the priced 
order and the order shall be signed by both the Contracting Officer and the
Contractor. Upon receipt of the priced order, the Contractor shall promptly
commence work and shall diligently complete it.

                                      141
<PAGE>
 
(d) Undefinitized Orders. Whenever the Contracting Officer determines that 
    --------------------
urgent demands or requirements prevent the issuance of a priced order, the 
Contracting Officer may issue an unpriced order. Such order may be unilateral or
bilateral and shall establish a limitation on Government liability, a maximum 
ceiling amount, and a schedule for definitization of the order, as described in 
subparagraph (f) (2) below. Upon request, the Contractor shall submit a maximum 
ceiling amount proposal before the undefinitized order is issued. The maximum 
ceiling amount is the maximum amount (including fee) at which the order may be 
definitized. Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, the Contractor shall 
commence performance of the order upon receipt. The clause entitled "PRICE 
CEILING" (DFARS 252.217-7027) shall be included in any undefinitized order.

(e) Rejection of Unilateral Orders. The Contractor may reject any unilateral 
    ------------------------------
order if the Contractor determines that it cannot feasibly perform the order or 
if it does not concur with the maximum ceiling amount. However, each unilateral 
order shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor unless within 
fifteen (15) days of issuance of the order the Contractor notifies the 
Contracting Officer in writing of its rejection of the order.

(f) Definitization of Undefinitized Orders. (1) The Contractor agrees that 
    --------------------------------------
following the issuance of an undefinitized order, it will promptly begin 
negotiating with the Contracting Officer the CPFF and terms of a definitive 
order that will include: (A) all clauses required by regulation on the date of 
the order; (B) all clauses required by law on the date of execution of the 
definitive order; and (C) other mutually agreeable clauses, terms and/or 
conditions. No later than sixty (60) days after the undefinitized order is 
issued, the Contractor shall submit a cost proposal with sufficient data to 
support the accuracy and derivation of its CPFF proposal; and, when required by 
FAR or the Contracting Officer, cost or pricing data, including SF 1411. If 
additional cost information is available prior to the conclusion of 
negotiations, the Contractor shall provide that information to the Contracting 
Officer. The CPFF agreed upon shall be set forth in a bilateral modification to 
the order. In no event shall the CPFF exceed the maximum ceiling amount 
specified in the undefinitized order.

     (2) Each undefinitized order shall contain a schedule for definitization 
which shall include a target date for definitization and dates for submission of
a qualifying proposal, beginning of negotiations and, if appropriate,

                                      142
<PAGE>
 
submission of make-or-buy and subcontracting plans and cost or pricing data.
Submission of a qualifying proposal in accordance with the definitization
schedule is a material element of the order. The schedule shall provide for
definitization of the order by the earlier of:

          (i)  a specified target date which is not more than 180 days after the
               issuance of the undefinitized order. However, that target date
               may be extended by the Contracting Officer for up to 180 days
               after the Contractor submits a qualifying proposal as defined in
               DFARS 217.7401; or

          (ii) the date on which the amount of funds expended by the Contractor
               under the undefinitized order exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the
               order's maximum ceiling amount, except as provided in
               subparagraph (f)(3) below.

     (3)  If agreement on a definitive order is not reached within the time
provided pursuant to subparagraph (f)(2) above, the Contracting Officer may,
with the approval of the Head of the Contracting Activity, determine a
reasonable CPFF in accordance with Subpart 15.8 and Part 31 of the FAR, and
issue a unilateral order subject to Contractor appeal as provided in the
"DISPUTES" clause (FAR 52.233-1). In any event, the Contractor shall proceed
with completion of the order, subject to the "LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT
LIABILITY" clause (FAR 52.216-24).

(g)    Limitation of Government Liability.   (1) Each undefinitized order shall 
       ----------------------------------       
set forth the limitation of Government liability, which shall be the maximum
amount that the Government will be obligated to pay the Contractor for
performance of the order until the order is definitized. The Contractor is not
authorized to make expenditures or incur obligations exceeding the limitation of
Government liability set forth in the order. If such expenditures are made or if
such obligations are incurred, those expenditures and obligations will be at the
Contractor's sole risk and expense, Further, the limitation of liability shall
be the maximum Government liability if the order is terminated. The clause at
FAR 52.216-24 shall be included in any undefinitized order.

     (2)  Except for undefinitized orders for Foreign Military Sales; purchases
of less than $25,000; special access programs; and Congressionally-mandated 
long-lead

                                      143
<PAGE>
 
procurements; and except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (g)(3) below, the
limitation of Government liability shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the
maximum ceiling amount of an undefinitized order. In the case of orders within
these excepted categories, however, the procedures set forth herein shall be
followed to the maximum extent practical.

     (3) If the Contractor submits a qualifying proposal, as defined in DFARS
217.7401 to definitize an order before the Contractor has incurred costs in
excess of fifty percent (50%) of the maximum ceiling amount, the Contracting
Officer may increase the limitation of Government Liability up to no more than
seventy-five percent (75%) of the maximum ceiling amount or up to seventy-five
percent (75%) of the total CPFF proposed by the Contractor, whichever is less.

     (4) If at any time the Contractor believes that its expenditure under an
order will exceed the limitation of Government liability, the Contractor shall
so notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, and propose an appropriate
increase in the limitation of Government liability of such order. Within thirty
(30) days of such notice, the Contracting Officer will either (i) notify the
Contractor in writing of such appropriate increase, or (ii) instruct the
Contractor how and to what extent the work shall be continued; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Contractor be obligated to proceed with work
on an undefinitized order beyond the point where its costs incurred plus a
reasonable profit exceed the limitation of Government liability, and provided
also that in no event shall the Government be obligated to pay the Contractor
any amount in excess of the limitation of Government liability specified in any
such order prior to definitization.

(h)  Initial Spares.  The limitations set forth in paragraph (d) and 
     --------------   
subparagraphs (f)(2), (g)(2) and (g)(3) do not apply to undefinitized orders 
for the purchase of initial spares.

(i)   Ordering Activities.  The following activities are authorized to issue 
      -------------------

CERTIFICATE OF PROCUREMENT INTEGRITY--MODIFICATION (NOV 1990)
- -------------------------------------------------------------

          (1) I, __________ (Name of certifier), am the officer or employee 
responsible for the preparation of this modification proposal and hereby certify
that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, with the exception of any 
information described in this certification, I have no information concerning a 
violation or possible violation of subsection 27(a), (b), (d), or (f) of the 
Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, as amended* (41 U.S.C. 423). 
(hereinafter referred to as "the Act"), as implemented in the FAR, occurring

THIS CERTIFICATE CONCERNS A MATTER WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF AN AGENCY OF THE
UNITED STATES AND THE MAKING OF A FALSE, FICTITIOUS, OR FRAUDULENT CERTIFICATION
MAY RENDER THE MAKER SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION UNDER TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE, 
SECTION 1001.

                            (End of certification)

(d) In making the certification in paragraph (2) of the certificate, the officer
or employee of the competing Contractor responsible for the offer or bid, may 
rely upon a one-time certification from each individual

                                      173
<PAGE>
 
required to submit a certification to the competing Contractor, supplemented by 
periodic training. These certifications shall be obtained at the earliest 
possible date after an individual required to certify begins employment or 
association with the contractor. If a Contractor decides to rely on a 
certification executed prior to the suspension of section 27 (i.e., prior to 
December 1, 1989), the Contractor shall ensure that an individual who has so 
certified is notified that section 27 has been reinstated. These certifications 
shall be maintained by the Contractor for a period of 6 years from the date a 
certifying employee's employment with the company ends or, for an agency, 
representative, or consultant, 6 years from the date such individual ceases to 
act on behalf of the contractor.

(e)  The certification required by paragraph (c) of this clause is a material 
representation of fact upon which reliance will be placed in executing this 
modification.

FAR 52.216-7 ALLOWABLE COST AND PAYMENT (AUG 1996)

(a) Invoicing. The Government shall make payments to the Contractor when 
requested as work progresses, but (except for small business concerns) not more 
than once every 2 weeks, in amounts determined to be allowable by the 
Contracting Officer in accordance with Subpart 31.2 of the Federal Acquisition 
Regulation (FAR) in effect on the date of this contract and the terms of this 
contract. The Contractor may submit to an authorized representative of the 
Contracting Officer, in such form and reasonable detail as the representative 
may require, an invoice or voucher supported by a statement of the claimed 
allowable cost for performing this contract.

(b) Reimbursing costs. (1) For the purpose of reimbursing allowable costs 
(except as provided in subparagraph (2) below, with respect to pension, deferred
profit sharing, and employee stock ownership plan contributions), the term 
"costs" includes only-

     (i)  Those recorded costs that, at the time of request for reimbursement, 
the Contractor has paid by cash, check, or other form of actual payment for 
items or services purchased directly for the contract.

     (ii) When the Contractor is not delinquent in paying costs of contractor 
performance in the ordinary course of business, costs incurred, but not 
necessarily paid, for-

          (A)  Materials issued from the Contractor's inventory and placed in 
the production process for use on the contract;

          (B)  Direct labor;

          (C)  Direct travel;

          (D)  Other direct in-house costs; and 

          (E)  Properly allocable and allowable indirect costs, as shown in the 
records maintained by the Contractor for purposes of obtaining reimbursement 
under Government contracts; and

     (iii) The amount of progress payments that have been paid to the 
Contractor's subcontractors under similar cost standards.

     (2) Contractor contributions to any pension or other postretirement 
benefit, profit-sharing or employee stock ownership plan funds that are paid 
quarterly or more often may be included in indirect costs for payment purposes, 
provided that the Contractor pays the contribution to the fund within 30 days 
after the close of the period covered. Payments made 30 days or more after the 
close of a period shall not be

                                      174
<PAGE>
 
included until the Contractor actually makes the payment. Accrued costs for such
contributions that are paid less often than quarterly shall be excluded from
indirect costs for payment purposes until the Contractor actually makes the
payment.

     (3)  Notwithstanding the audit and adjustment of invoices or vouchers under
paragraph (g) below, allowable indirect costs under this contract shall be 
obtained by applying indirect cost rates established in accordance with 
paragraph (d) below.

     (4)  Any statements in specifications or other documents incorporated in 
this contract by reference designating performance of services or furnishing of 
materials at the Contractor's expense or at no cost to the Government shall be 
disregarded for purposes of cost-reimbursement under this clause.

(c)  Small business concerns. A small business concern may be paid more often 
than every 2 weeks and may invoice and be paid for recorded costs for items or 
services purchased directly for the contract, even though the concern has not 
yet paid for those items or services.

(d)  Final indirect cost rates. (1) Final annual indirect cost rates and the 
appropriate bases shall be established in accordance with Subpart 42.7 of the 
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in effect for the period covered by the 
indirect cost rate proposal.

     (2)  The Contractor shall, within 90 days after the expiration of each of 
its fiscal years, or by a later date approved by the Contracting Officer, submit
to the cognizant Contracting Officer responsible for negotiating its final 
indirect cost rates and, if required by agency procedures, to the cognizant 
audit activity proposed final indirect cost rates for that period and supporting
cost data specifying the contract and/or subcontract to which the rates apply. 
The proposed rates shall be based on the Contractor's actual cost experience for
that period. The appropriate Government representative and Contractor shall 
establish the final indirect cost rates as promptly as practical after receipt 
of the Contractor's proposal.

     (3)  The Contractor and the appropriate Government representative shall 
execute a written understanding setting forth the final indirect cost rates. The
understanding shall specify (i) the agreed-upon final annual indirect cost 
rates, (ii) the bases to which the rates apply, (iii) the periods for which the 
rates apply, (iv) any specific indirect cost items treated as direct cost in the
settlement, and (v) the affected contract and/or subcontract, identifying any 
with advance agreements or special terms and the applicable rates. The 
understanding shall not change any monetary ceiling, contract obligations, or 
specific cost allowance or disallowance provided for in this contract. The 
understanding is incorporated into this contract upon execution.

     (4)  Within 120 days after settlement of the final indirect cost rates 
covering the year in which this contract is physically complete, the Contractor 
shall submit a completion invoice or voucher to reflect the settled amounts and 
rates.

     (5)  Failure by the parties to agree on a final annual indirect cost rate 
shall be a dispute within the meaning of the Disputes clause.

(e)  Billing rates. Until final annual indirect cost rates are established for 
any period, the Government shall reimburse the Contractor at billing rates 
established by the Contracting Officer or by an authorized representative (the 
cognizant auditor), subject to adjustment when the final rates are established. 
These billing rates-

     (1)  Shall be the anticipated final rates, and

     (2)  May be prospectively or retroactively revised by mutual agreement, at 
either party's request, to prevent substantial overpayment or underpayment.

                                      175
<PAGE>
 
(f)  Quick-closeout procedures. Quick-closeout procedures are applicable when 
the conditions in FAR 42.708(a) are satisfied.

(g)  Audit. At any time or times before final payment, the Contracting Officer 
may have the Contractor's invoices or vouchers and statements of cost audited. 
Any payment may be (1) reduced by amounts found by the Contracting Officer not 
to constitute allowable costs or (2) adjusted for prior overpayments or 
underpayments.

(h)  Final payment. (1) Upon approval of a completion invoice or voucher
submitted by the Contractor in accordance with (d)(4), and upon the Contractor's
compliance with all terms of this contract, the Government shall promptly pay
any balance of allowable costs and that part of the fee (if any) not previously
paid.

     (2)  The Contractor shall pay to the Government any refunds, rebates, 
credits, or other amounts (including interest, if any) accruing to or received 
by the Contractor or any assignee under this contract, to the extent that those 
amounts are properly allocable to cost for which the Contractor has been 
reimbursed by the Government. Reasonable expenses incurred by the Contractor for
securing refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts shall be allowable costs if
approved by the Contracting Officer. Before final payment under this contract, 
the Contractor and each assignee whose assignment is in effect at the time of 
final payment shall execute and deliver-

     (i)  An assignment to the Government, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Contracting Officer, of refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts
(including interest, if any) properly allocable to costs for which the
Contractor has been reimbursed by the Government under this contract, and

     (ii) A release discharging the Government, its officers, agents, and 
employees from all liabilities, obligations, and claims arising out of or under 
this contract, except-

     (A)  Specified claims stated in exact amounts, or in estimated amounts when
the exact amounts are not known;

     (B)  Claims (including reasonable incidental expenses) based upon 
liabilities of the Contractor to third parties arising out of the performance of
this contract; provided, that the claims are not known to the Contractor on the 
date of the execution of the release, and that the Contractor gives notice of 
the claims in writing to the Contracting Officer within 6 years following the 
release date or notice of final payment date, whichever is earlier, and

     (C)  Claims for reimbursement of costs, including reasonable incidental 
expenses, incurred by the Contractor under the patent clauses of this contract, 
excluding, however, any expenses arising from the Contractor's indemnification 
of the Government against patent liability.

FAR 52.222-2 PAYMENT FOR OVERTIME PREMIUMS (JUL 1990)

(a)  The use of overtime is authorized under this contract if the overtime 
premium cost does not exceed __________ dollars or the overtime premium is paid 
for work-

          (1)  Necessary to cope with emergencies such as those resulting from 
accidents, natural disasters, breakdowns of production equipment, or occasional 
production bottlenecks of a sporadic nature;

          (2)  By indirect-labor employees such as those performing duties 
in connection with administration, protection, transportation, maintenance, 
standby plant protection, operation of utilities, or accounting;

                                      176
<PAGE>
 
     (3)  To perform tests, industrial processes, laboratory procedures, loading
or unloading of transportation conveyances, and operations in flight or afloat 
that are continuous in nature and cannot reasonably be interrupted or completed 
otherwise; or

     (4)  That will result in lower overall costs to the Government.

(b)  Any request for estimated overtime premiums that exceeds the amount 
specified above shall include all estimated overtime for contract completion and
shall-

     (1)  Identify the work unit; e.g., department or section in which the 
requested overtime will be used, together with present workload, staffing, and 
other data of the affected unit sufficient to permit the Contracting Officer to 
evaluate the necessity for the overtime;

     (2)  Demonstrate the effect that denial of the request will have on the 
contract delivery or performance schedule;

     (3)  Identify the extent to which approval of overtime would affect the 
performance or payments in connection with other Government contracts, together 
with identification of each effected contract; and 

     (4)  Provide reasons why the required work cannot be performed by using 
multishift operations or by employing additional personnel.

FAR 52.244-2 SUBCONTRACTS (COST-REIMBURSEMENT AND LETTER CONTRACTS) (MAR 1996) 
AND ALTERNATE (AUG 1996)
     
(a) "Subcontract," as used in this clause, includes but is not limited to 
purchase orders, and changes and modifications to purchase orders. The 
Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer reasonably in advance of 
entering into any Subcontract if-

     (1)  The proposed subcontract is of the cost-reimbursement, time-and- 
materials, or labor-hour type;

     (2)  The proposed subcontract is fixed-price and exceeds the greater of (i)
the simplified acquisition threshold, or (ii) 5 percent of the total estimated 
cost of this contract;

     (3)  The proposed subcontract has experimental, developmental, or research 
work as one of its purposes;

     (4)  This contract is not a facilities contract and the proposed
subcontract provides for the fabrication, purchase, rental, installation, or
other acquisition of special test equipment valued in excess of $25,000 or of
any items of facilities.

(b)(1) In the case of a proposed subcontract that (i) is of the 
cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, or labor-hour type and is estimated to 
exceed $25,000, including any fee, (ii) is proposed to exceed $100,000, or (iii)
is one of a number of subcontracts with a single subcontractor, under this 
contract, for the same or related supplies or services that, in the aggregate, 
are expected to exceed $100,000, the advance notification required by paragraph 
(a) above shall include the information specified in subparagraph (2) below.

     (2)(i)  A description of the supplies or service to be subcontracted;

       (ii)  Identification of the type of subcontract to be used;

                                      177

     (iii) Identification of the proposed subcontractor and an explanation of 
why and how the proposed subcontractor was selected, including the competition 
obtained;
 
     (iv) The proposed subcontractor price and the Contractor's cost or price 
analysis;

     (v)  The subcontractor's current, complete, and accurate cost or pricing 
data and Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, if required by other 
contract provisions;

     (vi) The subcontractor's Disclosure Statement or Certificate relating to 
Cost Accounting Standards when such data are required by other provisions of 
this contract; and

     (vii) A negotiation memorandum reflecting-

          (A)  The principal elements of the subcontract price negotiations;

          (B) The most significant considerations controlling establishment of
initial or revised prices;

          (C)  The reason cost or pricing data were or were not required;

          (D)  The extent, if any, to which the Contractor did not rely on the
subcontractor's cost or pricing data in determining the price objective and in
negotiating the final price;

          (E)  The extent, if any, to which it was recognized in the negotiation
that the subcontractor's cost or pricing data were not accurate, complete, or 
current; the action taken by the Contractor and subcontractor; and the effect of
any such defective data on the total price negotiated;

          (F)  The reasons for any significant difference between the 
Contractor's price objective and the price negotiated; and 

          (G)  A complete explanation of the incentive fee or profit plan when 
incentives are used.  The explanation shall identify each critical performance 
element, management decisions used to quantify each incentive element, reasons 
for the incentives, and summary of all trade-off possibilities considered.

(c)  The Contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer's written consent 
before placing any subcontract for which advance notification is required under 
paragraph (a) above.  However, the Contracting Officer may ratify in writing any
such subcontract.  Ratification shall constitute the consent of the Contracting 
Officer.

(d)  If the Contractor has an approved purchasing system and the subcontract is 
within the scope of such approval, the Contractor may enter into the 
subcontracts described in subparagraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this clause without
the consent of the Contracting Officer.

(e)  Even if the Contractor's purchasing system has been approved, the 
Contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer's written consent before placing
subcontracts identified below:

(f)  Unless the consent or approval specifically provides otherwise, neither 
consent by the Contracting Officer to any subcontract nor approval of the 
Contractor's purchasing system shall constitute a determination (1) of the 
acceptability of any subcontract terms or conditions, (2) of the acceptability 
of any subcontract price or of any amount paid under any subcontract, or (3) to 
relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for performing this contract.

(g)  No subcontract placed under this contract shall provide for payment on a 
cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost basis, and any fee payable under 
cost-reimbursement subcontracts shall not exceed the fee limitations in 
subsection 15.903(d) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

                                      178
<PAGE>
 
(h)  The Contractor shall give the Contracting Officer immediate written notice 
of any action or suit filed and prompt notice of any claim made against the 
Contractor by any subcontractor or vendor that, in the opinion of the 
Contractor, may result in litigation related in any way to this contract, with 
respect to which the Government may be entitled to reimbursement from the 
Government.

(i)(1) The Contractor shall insert in each price redetermination or incentive 
price revision subcontract under this contract the substance of the paragraph 
"Quarterly limitation on payments statement" of the clause at 52.216-5, Price 
Redetermination--Prospective, 52.216-6, Price Redetermination--Retroactive, 
52.216-16 Incentive Price Revision--Firm Target, or 52.216-17, Incentive Price 
Revision-Successive Targets, as appropriate, modified in accordance with the 
paragraph entitled "Subcontracts" of that clause.

     (2)  Additionally, the Contractor shall include in each cost-reimbursement 
subcontract under this contract a requirement that the subcontractor insert the 
substance of the appropriate modified subparagraph referred to in subparagraph 
(1) above in each lower tier price redetermination or incentive price revision 
subcontract under that subcontract.

(j) To facilitate small business participation in subcontracting, the Contractor
agrees to provide progress payments on subcontracts under this contract that are
fixed-price subcontracts with small business concerns in conformity with the 
standards for customary progress payments stated in FAR 32.502-1 and 32.504(f),

perform results from, or is conditioned upon, award of the price contract and

materialman, distributor, or vendor of commercial items or commercial 
components.

          (6)  "Supplies" means all property, except land and interests in land,
that is clearly identifiable for eventual use by or owned by the DoD at the time
of transportation by sea.

                    (i)  An item is clearly identifiable or eventual use by the
DoD if, for example, the contract documentation contains a reference to a DoD

Contractor and its subcontractors may request that the Contracting Officer 
authorize shipment in foreign-flag vessels, or designate available U.S.-flag 
vessels, if the Contractor or a subcontractor believes that--

vessels in writing to the Contracting Officer at least 45 days prior to the 
sailing date necessary to meet its delivery schedule. The Contracting Officer 
will process requests submitted after such date(s) as expeditiously as 
possible, but the Contracting Officer's failure to grant approvals to meet the

     (2)  Required shipping date;

     (3)  Special handling and discharge requirements;

clause, provide the Contracting Officer and the Division of National Cargo, 
Office of Market Development, Maritime Administration, U.S. Department of 
Transportation, Washington, DC 20590, one copy of the rated on board vessel

                                      182
<PAGE>
 
          (1)  No ocean transportation was used in the performance of this
contract;

          (2)  Ocean transportation was used and only U.S.-flag vessels were
used for all ocean shipments under this contract;

          (3)  Ocean transportation was used, and the Contractor had the written
consent of the Contracting Officer for all non-U.S.-flag ocean transportation;
or

(f)  If the final invoice does not include the required representation, the 
Government will reject and return it to the Contractor as an improper invoice 
for the purposes of the Prompt Payment clause of this contract. In the event 
there has been unauthorized use of non-U.S.-flag vessels in the performance of 
this contract, the Contracting Officer is entitled to equitably adjust the 
contract, based on the unauthorized use.

(g)  The Contractor shall include this clause, including this paragraph (g), in

DFARS 252.247-7204 NOTIFICATION OF TRANSPORTATION OF SUPPLIES BY SEA (NOV 1995)

(a)  The Contractor has indicated by the response to the solicitation provision,
Representation of Extent of Transportation by Sea, that it did not anticipate 
transporting by sea any supplies. If, however, after the award of this contract,
the Contractor learns that supplies, as defined in the Transportation of 
Supplies by Sea clause of this contract, will be transported by sea, the 
Contractor--

          (1)  Shall notify the Contracting Officer of that fact; and

          (2)  Hereby agrees to comply with all the terms and conditions of the 
Transportation of Supplies by Sea clause of this contract.

(b)  The Contractor shall include this clause, including this paragraph (b),

NAPS 5252.243-9001 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADEQUATE SUPPORTING DATA AND CERTIFICATION 
OF ANY CLAIM, REQUEST FOR EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT, OR DEMAND FOR PAYMENT (JUN 1996)

(a)  This contract is subject to 10 U.S.C. 2405; therefore, no price adjustment 
will be made under this contract for an amount set forth in a claim, request for
equitable adjustment, or demand for payment (or incurred due to the preparation,
submission, or adjudication of any such claim, request, or demand) arising out 
of events occurring more than six years before the submission of the claim, 
request, or demand.

(b)  A claim, request for equitable adjustment, or demand for payment is 
considered to be submitted on the date the contractor's submission is received 
by the contracting officer accompanied by adequate supporting data for the 
claim, request or demand, and the certification required by Section 6(c)(1) of 
the Contract Disputes Act, if the claim, request or demand is over $50,000.

                                      183
<PAGE>
 
(c)  Adequate supporting data includes data which is adequate to apprise the
contracting officer of the underlying facts and the theory upon which the
contractor relies in support of its entitlement to a price adjustment. Adequate
supporting data is that data which fulfills these purposes in accordance with
the requirements of the Contract Disputes Act. A submission containing the
following information will be deemed to have been submitted with adequate
supporting data:

     (1)  A narrative statement of the nature of the event(s), the time when the
event(s) occurred (including the factual basis supporting the contractor's 
designation of the time the event(s) occurred), and the casual relationship 
between the event(s) and the impact on the cost of performance of the contract, 
including a description of how the event(s) affected scheduled performance;

     (2)  A description of the relevant effort the contractor was required to 
perform in the absence of the event(s);

     (3)  A description of the relevant effort the contractor was actually 
required or will be required to perform;

     (4)  A description of components, equipment, and other property involved;

     (5)  A cost breakdown of the additional effort by element in accordance 
with the contractor's normal procedures for pricing of changes;

     (6)  A description of all property which will no longer be needed by the 
contractor;

     (7)  A description of any delay caused by the event(s);

     (8)  A description of any disruption caused by the event(s).

(d)  Certification of the claim, request for equitable adjustment, or demand for
payment is required if the requested price adjustment is over $50,000.  The 
certification requirements are those set forth in the CDA and implementing 
regulations.

(e)  For the purpose of this clause, the following terms have the meanings set 
forth below.

     (1) "Claim" means a written demand or written assertion by the contractor
seeking, as a matter of right, a price adjustment under the contract. The theory
upon which the contractor seeks the price adjustment does not determine whether
a particular matter is a claim. The term includes a submission asserting any
theory supporting a price adjustment, including but not limited to constructive
change, breach of contract or mistake, which, if valid, would result in
contractor entitlement to a price adjustment. A voucher, invoice or other
routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a
claim. A claim does not include a request for equitable adjustment or demand for
payment, as defined below.

     (2)  "Demand for payment" means a written demand for payment, the granting 
of which results in a price adjustment under the contract.  A demand for payment
does not include a routine request for payment in accordance with the payment 
terms of the contract.

     (3)  "Events" means the Government action(s), Government inaction(s), 
Government conduct, or occurrence(s) which give rise to the contractor's claim, 
request for equitable adjustment, or demand for payment.  The term events does 
not require the incurrence of costs and/or performance of additional work 
resulting from the action(s), inaction(s), conduct or occurrence(s) except where
a contractor's commencement of the correction of defective GFI/GFP constitutes
the final occurrence. For the purpose of this subpart, the date of the final
Government action, Government inaction, Government conduct or occurrence is the
date on which the six year period commences.

                                      184
<PAGE>
 
     (4) "Know or should have known" includes the totality of the combined 
actual and constructive knowledge of all agents or employees (including a 
subcontractor, its agents and employees, where and to the extent a subcontractor
is involved).

     (5) "Price adjustment" means an increase in the fixed price, target price,
ceiling price, or final price of a fixed price type contract, or an increase in
the fee structure of a cost reimbursement type contract, or monetary damages or
other payment resulting from a contractor claim, request for equitable
adjustment, or demand for payment. An adjustment to the sharing ratio or to any
other pricing formula, procedure or provision, which has the effect of
increasing the fixed price, target price, ceiling price, final price, or fee of
the contract, is a price adjustment. A schedule adjustment, whether requested as
part of a submission seeking a price adjustment or as the sole relief, or an
adjustment for any matter which, pursuant to the terms of the contract is
separate from or not included in the fixed price contract or the fee structure
of a cost reimbursement contract, is not a price adjustment. The bilateral
definitization of a maximum-price modification within the maximum price is not a
price adjustment. A routine invoice or other request for payment or
reimbursement in accordance with the terms of the contract, even if in dispute,
which, if paid, would not result in an increase in the price of the contract is
not a price adjustment. For the purpose of this subpart, relief granted pursuant
to a request for extraordinary contractual relief under Public Law 85-804 does
not constitute a price adjustment.

     (6) "Request for equitable adjustment" means a written request for a price 
adjustment under the contract.

                    standard  personnel  practices,  is deemed  a

                              the  Employment Year in which  such
                              absence   begins   (if   credit  is
                              required  to  preclude  a Break  in
                              Service  in  such year) or  in  the

                              this  paragraph  (d),  an  Employee

                              the absence.  The Committee, in its
                              sole   discretion,    may   require
                              (i) evidence that the absence is on
                              account  of a reason enumerated  in

          effective  October  13,  1994  to  delete  the  phrase  "military
          service" and to restate the last paragraph, to read as follows:

                    To  the  extent  not credited above, Hours of

                    purposes, based on the customary work week of
                    the  Employee for periods of Service  in  the
                    Uniformed Services (as required by applicable
                    law).

                                          X.

               Article I is  amended  to  add  Section  1.21A,  to  read as
          follows:

                         1.21A  A  Leased Employee shall mean any
                    person (excluding  a  person  who is a common
                    law employee of the Participating Employer or
                    Non-Participating Employer) who,  pursuant to
                    an agreement between a Participating Employer
                    (or  an  Affiliated  Company)  and any  other
                    person ("leasing organization") has performed
                    services  for the Participating Employer  (or
<PAGE>
                    an Affiliated  Company)  and  related persons
                    determined   in   accordance   with   Section
                    414(n)(6)  of  the  Code, on a "substantially
                    full-time basis" for a period of at least one
                    year and:  for Plan Years  after  1996,  such
                    services  are  performed  under  the  primary
                    direction   or  control  of  a  Participating
                    Employer  (or  an  Affiliated  Employer); for
                    Plan  Years prior to 1997, such services  are
                    of the  type  historically  performed, in the
                    business field of the Participating  Employer
                    (or an Affiliated Employer) by employees.

                         A person is considered to have performed
                    services on a "substantially full-time basis"
                    for  a  period  of  at  least  one  year  if:
                    (a) during  any  consecutive  12-month period
                    such  person  has  performed  at least  1,500
                    Hours   of   Service  for  the  Employer   or
                    (b) during any  consecutive  12-month  period
                    such   person   performed  services  for  the
                    Employer for a number  of Hours of Service at
                    least equal to 75% of the  average  number of
                    hours  that are customarily performed  by  an
                    employee  of  the  Employer in the particular
                    position.

                         Such  a  person will  not  be  a  Leased
                    Employee if the  person  (a)  is covered by a
                    money purchase pension plan providing  (i)  a
                    nonintegrated  employer  contribution rate of
                    at least 10% of such person's W-2 wages, (ii)
                    immediate participation, and  (iii)  full and
                    immediate  vesting,  and  (b)  provided,  the
                    Leased Employee, determined without regard to
                    whether  such  person is a participant in the
                    above described   money purchase plan, do not
                    constitute  more  than   20  percent  of  the
                    recipient's nonhighly compensated workforce.

                         In  the event that any  Leased  Employee
                    subsequently  becomes  an  Eligible Employee,
                    then unless the Plan is otherwise excluded by
                    applicable  Treasury  Regulations   from  the
                    requirements  of  Code  Section  414(n),  the
                    total period that such former Leased Employee
                    provided   services   to   the  Participating
                    Employer shall be treated under the Plan, for
                    participation    eligibility   and    vesting
                    purposes as though he had been an Employee of
                    the   Participating    Employer    or    Non-
                    Participating Employer.

                                         XI.

               Article  I,  Section  1.27,  One  Year Break in Service,  is
          amended, effective with respect to each  Employee as of his first
          Employment Year beginning on or after January 1, 1997, to read as
          follows:
<PAGE>
                         One Year Break in Service shall  mean an
                    Employment  Year in which  a Participant  has
                    500 or less Hours of Service.

                                         XII.

               Article  I,  Section   1.29,  Participant,  is  amended  and
          restated to read as follows:

                         Participant shall  mean (a) any Eligible
                    Employee  who  satisfies  the   participation
                    requirements  set  forth in Article  II,  and
                    (b) any former Employee  on  whose  behalf an
                    Account  continues  to  be maintained in  the
                    Plan pursuant to Article II.

                         In the event the Plan  fails to pass the
                    coverage  requirements of Section  410(b)  of
                    the Code for  a  Plan Year, certain Employees
                    will be given "Eligible Employee" status in a
                    number  necessary  to  satisfy  the  coverage
                    requirements of Section  410(b)  of the Code.
                    "Eligible Employee" status will be  given  to
                    certain  Employees  beginning  first with the
                    Employee   who   has   both   satisfied   the
                    participation requirements of Article  II and
                    has the most recent original employment  date
                    and   continuing   in   descending   original
                    employment   date   order,   to   the  extent

                    requirements  of  Section 410(b) of the Code.
                    If two or more Employees  have  satisfied the
                    participation requirements of Article  II and

                    which coincides  with  or immediately follows

                    provided  he  is employed by the Employer  on
                    such date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
                    Employee shall  become a Participant prior to
                    the effective date  of  the  adoption  of the
                    Plan by his Employer.

               Article    II,    Section   2.3,   Participation   Following

                    If an Eligible Employee terminates employment
                    but is reemployed  before a One Year Break in
                    Service occurs, he shall be treated as if his
                    employment was not broken.

                    If an Eligible Employee  (whether  or  not  a
                    Participant)  terminates  employment  and  is
                    later reemployed by a Participating Employer,
                    he  shall  be  treated  as a new Employee for
                    purposes   of   determining  eligibility   to
                    participate in the  Plan, if the Employee has
                    no vested interest and  his  consecutive One-
                    Year Breaks in Service exceed  the greater of
                    five or the Years of Service prior to a Break
                    in  Service.   However,  if  a  fully  vested
                    Participant has terminated employment  and is
                    later reemployed by a Participating Employer,
                    he  shall  automatically become a Participant
                    as of the date  he  first performs an Hour of
                    Service following reemployment  regardless of
                    the  number  of  One-Year  Breaks in  Service
                    prior to reemployment.

                                         XIX.

                    employer  contribution  that  he or she would
                    have received if he or she had been employed.
                    The  Returning Veteran will not  be  eligible
                    for (i) an allocation of earnings before such
                    contributions  are  made, or (ii) forfeitures
                    allocated  during  the   period  of  military

                                          TO
                              AVONDALE INDUSTRIES, INC.
                                     PENSION PLAN


               WHEREAS,  Avondale Industries, Inc., a corporation organized
          and existing under  the  laws  of the State of Louisiana, adopted
          the Avondale Industries, Inc. Pension Plan (the "Plan") effective
          September 1, 1985, said Plan has  been amended from time to time,
          and  said Plan was amended and restated  on  December  28,  1994,
          effective January 1, 1989;

               WHEREAS,  Avondale  Industries,  Inc.  reserved the right to
          amend the Plan by resolution of the Board of Directors;

               WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the Plan  as  required  or
          allowed  by  the  Family  and  Medical  Leave  Act  of  1993, the
          Uniformed  Services  Employment  and  Reemployment Rights Act  of
          1994,  the  Retirement  Protection Act of  1994,  and  the  Small
          Business Job Protection Act of 1996; to clarify the employees who
          are  eligible  to participate;  to  revise  the  commencement  of
          participation date;  to  change "Year of Service" from an elapsed
          time method to an Hours of  Service  method  for  the  purpose of
          eligibility and vesting; and to make further clarifications:

               NOW, THEREFORE, as authorized by Section 11.1 and resolution
          of  the Board of Directors, the Plan is hereby amended, effective
          as of the date executed, unless stated otherwise, as follows:

                                          I.

               Article I, Section 1.2, Actuarial Equivalent, is amended and
          restated, effective January 1, 1997, to read as follows:

                         1.2  Actuarial  Equivalent  shall mean a
                    benefit  of equivalent current value  to  the
                    benefit  which   otherwise  would  have  been
                    provided  to the Participant,  determined  on
                    the basis of  (a) the UP-1984 Mortality Table
                    set forward one year for males, set back four
                    years for females  and  weighted 95% male and
                    5%  female  and  (b)   7.0% annual  interest.
                    Provided, however, that  the  interest factor
                    used in determining a lump sum value shall be
                    as follows: (i) prior to 1997,  the  interest
                    rate  used  by  the  Pension Benefit Guaranty
                    Corporation as of January  1  of the calendar
                    year in which the determination  date occurs;
                    and  (ii)  on  or after January 1, 1997,  the
                    Applicable  Interest  Rate.   The  Applicable
                    Interest Rate  is the annual rate of interest
                    on 30-year Treasury securities for the second
<PAGE>
                    calendar month preceding  the  Plan  Year  in
                    which   the  date  of  determination  occurs.
                    Further,  on  or  after  January 1, 1997, the
                    determination of a lump sum  benefit shall be
                    based on the Applicable Mortality Table.  The
                    Applicable Mortality Table is  the  mortality
                    table  prescribed  in Revenue Ruling 95-6  or
                    any  successor publication  of  the  Service.
                    However,  the determination of the annuitized
                    value of the  Participant's account under the
                    Avondale  ESOP  for   purposes   of   Section
                    4.1(a)(iv)  and  Section  4.1(b)(iii)  of the
                    Plan  shall  be based on no mortality and  7%
                    annual interest  for the period, if any, from
                    (i)  the  date  the  Participant   terminates
                    employment with the Participating Employer or
                    Non-Participating   Employer,   retires    or
                    becomes  totally  and  permanently  disabled,
                    whichever    is    earlier,   to   (ii)   the
                    Participant's Normal Retirement Date.

                                         II.

               The family aggregation rules  under  Code Section 401(a)(17)
          and  414(q)(6)  are hereby deleted for all Plan  Years  beginning
          after 1996.  This applies to the third and fourth sentence of the
          third paragraph of  Section  1.10, Compensation.  These sentences
          continue to apply for Plan Years  beginning  prior  to January 1,
          1997.

          read as follows:

                         The  Compensation of a Returning Veteran
                    for  a  prior   year   in   which   a  makeup
                    contribution  is required under the Uniformed
                    Services Employment  and  Reemployment Rights
                    Act  shall  be  (a)  the  pay  the  Returning
                    Veteran  would  have received if not  in  the
                    Uniformed Services  (including wage increases
                    and bonuses) or (b) if  it is not "reasonably
                    certain"  what  the  pay  rate   during   the
                    Uniformed   Services  would  have  been,  the
                    Returning Veteran's  average  earnings during
                    the  twelve  months  (or  shorter period,  if
                    applicable)  prior  to  the  Service  in  the
                    Uniformed Services.

                                         IV.

          restated, effective January 1, 1997, to read as follows:

                    calendar year in which an  Employee  employed
                    by   a   Participating   Employer   or   Non-
<PAGE>
                    Participating  Employer  on  December 31st of
                    such year, or if not employed on such date is
                    reemployed  by  a Participating  Employer  or
                    Non-Participating  Employer  within 12 months
                    of his termination of employment.

                                          V.

               Article I, Section 1.16, is amended and restated, to read as

                    shall not include:   (a) any  Employee who is
                    included in a unit of employees  covered by a
                    negotiated  collective  bargaining  agreement
                    which  does not provide for his participation
                    in  this   Plan;   (b) any  Employee  who  is
                    providing services pursuant  to  an  oral  or
                    written  contract or leasing arrangement with
                    an unrelated employer, including any Employee
                    who under a Participating Employer's standard

                    who,   under   a   Participating   Employer's
                    standard  personnel  practices,  is deemed  a

                    determinations  shall  be made  in  the  sole
                    discretion of the Participating Employer in a
                    uniform non-discriminating manner.

                              Service  in  such year) or  in  the

                              (i) evidence that the absence is on

                    position.

                         Such  a  person will  not  be  a  Leased

                         In  the event that any  Leased  Employee
                    subsequently  becomes  an  Eligible Employee,
                    then unless the Plan is otherwise excluded by
                    applicable  Treasury  Regulations   from  the
                    requirements  of  Code  Section  414(n),  the

               The  last paragraph of paragraph a. of Article  IV,  Section

          effective January 1, 1997, to read as follows:

                         For  the  purpose   of  determining  the
                    Actuarial Equivalent amount described in (v),
                    above, or in (iii) above if  the  benefit  is
                    payable   prior   to   the   Social  Security
                    Retirement  Age, the interest rate  shall  be
                    the greater of  5%  or  the rate specified in
                    Section 1.2 of the Plan.   To  determine  the
                    Actuarial Equivalent amount in (iii) above if
                    the  benefit  is  payable  after  the  Social
                    Security  Retirement  Age,  the interest rate
                    shall  be  the  lesser  of  5%, or  the  rate
                    specified in Section 1.2 of the Plan, with no
                    mortality. In any event, the  mortality table
                    shall be as set forth in Revenue  Ruling 95-6
                    or any successor publication of the  Service.
                    If   the   standard   rate   for  determining
                    Actuarial Equivalent benefits  under  Section
                    1.2 is modified, the above "greater of"  rate
                    will   change   accordingly.    If  the  rate
                    specified  in  Code  Section 415(b)(2)(E)  is
                    modified  the  above "lesser  of"  rate  will
                    change accordingly.

                                        XXIV.

               The second paragraph  of Article VI, Section 6.7 is amended,

                    Effective January  1,  1997,  distribution of
                    benefits to a Participant shall  commence  no
                    later  than  the  Required Beginning Date, as
                    defined in Section 6.9.

                                         XXV.

          January 1, 1997, to read as follows:

                         6.9 Minimum Required Distributions.  The
                    following provisions apply in  the event that
                    a Participant reaches his Required  Beginning
                    Date, as defined below:

                         (a)  Such  Participant  is  required  to
                         receive a benefit.

                         (b)  If the Participant elects  a  lump-
                              sum benefit or an annuity, the date
<PAGE>
                              as  of which an annuity benefit  or
                              lump  sum  benefit  is  required to
                              begin, shall be no later  than  the
                              Participant's   Required  Beginning
                              Date.

                         (c)  If  the Participant  elects  to  be
                              paid  in  annual  installments, two
                              annual installments  may be made in
                              the   year   of  the  Participant's
                              Required      Beginning       Date.
                              Subsequent annual installments must
                              be  made by the December 31 of that
                              year.      The    first     payment
                              applicable to the year in which the
                              Participant attained age 70 1/2 or,
                              if later, retired,  cannot  be made
                              later    than   the   Participant's
                              Required   Beginning   Date.    The
                              second annual  installment  must be
                              made by the December 31 immediately
                              following     the     Participant's
                              Required Beginning Date.

                           Required  Beginning  Date shall  mean,
                    effective January 1, 1997, for  anyone  other
                    than  a  5% owner (as defined in Code Section
                    416(i)(1)(B)(i))  April  1st  of the calendar
                    year following the later of (a)  the calendar
                    year  in  which  the  employee  attains   age
                    70 1/2, or (b) the calendar year in which the
                    Employee   terminates   employment  with  the
                    Employer.  For Plan Years  beginning prior to
                    January  1,  1997,  Required  Beginning  Date
                    shall  mean  April  1st of the calendar  year
                    following  the  calendar   year  in  which  a
                    Participant attains age 70 1/2.

                         If    minimum   required   distributions
                    commenced prior  to  December  31,  1996 to a
                    Participant   who   remains   employed  by  a
                    Participating Employer, such Participant  may
                    elect,  at  any  time  during  the  Plan Year
                    ending  December  31,  1997, to cease further
                    distributions   until   he   has   terminated

                                       PREAMBLE


               Effective  January 1, 1996, Avondale Industries, Inc. hereby
          establishes a 401(k)  (the  "Plan") governed by the provisions of
          this Plan document and any amendments  hereto.   The Plan and its
          related  Trust  are intended to qualify as a profit-sharing  plan
          and a cash-or-deferred arrangement under Sections 401(a), 501(a),
          401(k) and 401(m)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986, as
          amended.   Any  ambiguity  shall be resolved by giving effect  to
          these intentions.

               The purpose of this Plan  is  to encourage Employees to save
          and invest systematically a portion of their current compensation
          in order that they may have an additional  source  of income upon
          their  retirement  or disability.  The benefits provided  by  the
          Plan are paid from the Trust Fund established by the Employer and
          are in addition to the benefits Employees are entitled to receive
          under any other programs  of  the  Employer and the United States
          Social Security Administration.

               The Plan and the Trust forming  a part hereof are maintained
          for  the  exclusive  benefit  of  the  Participants   and   their
          Beneficiaries.

                                      ARTICLE I
                                     DEFINITIONS

               All  capitalized  terms  used  in  this  Plan shall have the
          meaning  set forth in this Article I, unless a different  meaning
          is plainly required by the context:

               1.1   Accounts  shall mean each of a Participant's Employee-
          Deferral  Account, Employer  Contribution  Account  and  Rollover
          Contribution Account (including subaccounts established from time
          to time under  each  such  Account) established and maintained to
          record the interest of a Participant  in  the  Trust Fund as more
          fully described in Sections 1.15, 1.18 and 1.35.

               1.2   Active Participant shall mean an Eligible Employee who
          is employed by a Participating Employer through  the last payroll
          period ending within the Plan Year.

               1.3   Affiliated  Company  means the Company and  all  other
          entities  required  to  be  aggregated  with  the  Company  under
          Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code.

               1.4   Beneficiary  shall   mean   the   person   or  persons
          designated  by  a  Participant  to  receive  the  amount, if any,
          payable  under  the  Plan in the event of a Participant's  death.
          Each Beneficiary designation  shall  be in the form prescribed by
          the Committee.

               If the Participant is married and  designates  someone other
          than  his legal spouse, his Beneficiary designation must  include
          the written  consent of his spouse at the time the designation is
          made.   Such  written   consent   must  approve  the  Beneficiary
          designated and acknowledge the effect  of  such  designation  and
          must  be  notarized  by a notary public.  If it is established to
          the satisfaction of the  Committee  that  the  Participant has no
          spouse  or  that the spouse's consent cannot be obtained  because
          the  spouse  cannot   be   located,  or  because  of  such  other
          circumstances as may be prescribed in regulations issued pursuant
          to Section 417 of the Code,  such  written  consent  shall not be
          required.

               If no valid Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time
          of the Participant's death, then, to the extent, if any, benefits
          are  payable  under the Plan after such death, Beneficiary  shall

          For  purposes  of  this  One-Year  Break  in  Service   rule,  in

          Year of Service.  The Service  Termination  Date  is  the  second
          anniversary  of  the first date of such absence.  An absence from
          work for maternity  or  paternity  reasons  is defined in Section

          the Employee's child immediately following its birth or adoption;
          provided, however, that the Committee,  in  its  sole discretion,

          enumerated  herein  and  evidence  as  to  the  duration  of such

          absence.

          on  the behalf  of  the  Participating  Employer  all  power  and

          any  and  all  amendments and supplements  thereto  entered  into

               1.42  Year  of  Service  shall   mean   a   12-month  period
          commencing on the first day on which an Employee is credited with

          interest and his consecutive  One-Year  Breaks  in Service exceed
          the greater of five or the Years of Service prior  to  a Break in
          Service), provided that:

                     (a)  An  Employee  shall be credited with one Year  of

                          on his Service Termination Date; except  that  if
                          such  Employee performs an Hour of Service within
                          the 12-month  period  commencing  on  his Service
                          Termination Date, his period of absence  shall be
                          treated as employment.

                          (iii) any  period  while the Employee  is  on  an

                          (vi)  to the extent not otherwise credited above,
                                the first  12  months of a Parental Absence
                                if the Employee provides the Committee with
<PAGE>
                                any evidence it  may  reasonably require to
                                determine that the absence is on account of
                                such Parental Absence.

               Except as otherwise specifically provided under this Section
          1.42, a month shall be determined by dividing  the number of days
          of  employment,  whether or not consecutive, by 30.   All  of  an
          Employee's Years of Service with the Employer shall be taken into
          account, including  service  prior to the year the Employee meets
          the definition of Employee, for purposes of satisfying the Plan's
          eligibility  requirements  and for  calculating  a  Participant's
          Vested Interest in his Employer  Contribution Account unless such
          periods of service are disregarded pursuant to Section 2.3 of the
          Plan (for participation purposes),  or  Section  6.6  of the Plan
          (for vesting purposes).


                                      ARTICLE II
                                    PARTICIPATION

               2.1   Commencement  of  Participation.  Each Employee  shall
          become an Eligible Employee as  of  the first Entry Date on which
          he is employed by a Participating Employer  and  which  coincides
          with  or  immediately  follows the date as of which such Employee
          has  both (a) attained age  21  and  (b) completed  one  Year  of
          Service.

               2.2   Termination of Participation.  An Eligible Employee or
          Participant who (i) has a Service Termination Date (ii) becomes a
          member of a group of employees covered by a negotiated collective
          bargaining  agreement which does not provide for participation in
          the Plan or (iii) becomes  an  Employee  of  a  Non-Participating
          Employer  shall  no  longer  be  an Eligible Employee  but  shall
          continue as a Participant in the Plan  entitled  to  share in the
          earnings and losses of the Trust Fund and to exercise  the rights
          of  a  Participant  hereunder until his Vested Interest has  been
          distributed and the non-vested  portion  of his Accounts, if any,
          has been forfeited pursuant to Section 6.4.

               The participation of any Participant  shall  end when (i) no
          further benefits are payable to him or his Beneficiary  under the
          Plan and (ii) no further amounts are credited to his Accounts.

               2.3  Participation Following Reemployment.

               If  an  Employee  has  a  Service  Termination  Date  but is
               reemployed  before  a  One  Year Break in Service occurs, he
               shall be treated as if his employment  was not broken.  Such
               Employee  shall  automatically  become an Eligible  Employee
               again and the Committee shall allow  him  to  elect  to make
               Employee-Deferrals pursuant to Section 3.1.

               If  an Employee (whether or not a Participant) has a Service
               Termination  Date and is later reemployed by a Participating
               Employer, he shall be treated as a new Employee for purposes
               of determining  eligibility  to  participate in the Plan, if
               the Employee has no vested interest and his consecutive One-
               Year Breaks in Service exceed the  greater  of  five  or the
               Years of Service prior to a Break in Service.  However, if a
<PAGE>
               fully  vested  Participant has terminated employment and  is
               later reemployed  by  a  Participating  Employer,  he  shall
               automatically  become  a Participant as of the date he first
               performs   an   Hour  of  Service   following   reemployment
               regardless of the number of One-Year Breaks in Service prior
               to reemployment.


                                     ARTICLE III
                                  EMPLOYEE-DEFERRALS

               3.1 Employee-Deferrals.  An Eligible Employee may enter into
               an Employee-Deferral  Agreement  with  his  Employer on such
               form or forms as the Committee shall prescribe  or through a
               voice response system after such Participant has entered his
               personal  identification  number.   In the Employee-Deferral
               Agreement  the Eligible Employee shall  agree  to  accept  a
               deferral of  his  Plan  Compensation  expressed  as  a whole
               percentage  no  less  than  1%  and  no  more than 13%.  The
               Employee-Deferral  Agreement  shall remain in  effect  until
               changed  or  discontinued as provided  in  Section  3.3.  An
               Employee's election  under this Section 3.1 can be made when
               the Employee becomes an  Eligible  Employee  effective as of
               the next payroll period provided the Participant  has  given
               the Committee advance notice of such change in such form and
               within such time period preceding the effective date of  the
               change as the Committee may prescribe.

               No Employee-Deferral may be paid to the Plan by the Employer
               on behalf of a Participant after he ceases to be an Employee
               or  during any period when such Participant is not receiving
               Plan Compensation from the Employer.

               3.2  Delivery   of   Employee-Deferral   Contributions.  The
               Employee-Deferral  made  by the Employer on  behalf  of  any
               Participant  shall be transmitted  to  the  Trustee  by  the
               Employer as soon  as practicable; provided, however, that no
               Employee-Deferral for  any  portion  of a Plan Year shall be
               delivered to the Trustee later than 90  days after the close
               of  the  month  in  which  the  amount  was  deducted   from
               Participant's Plan Compensation.

               3.3 Changes in and Discontinuance of Employee-Deferrals.   A
               Participant  may  change  the  rate of Employee-Deferrals or
               discontinue Employee-Deferrals paid  by  his Employer to the
               Plan on his behalf effective as of the next  payroll  period
               provided  the  Participant  has  given the Committee advance
               notice  of such change in such form  and  within  such  time
               period preceding  the  effective  date  of the change as the
               Committee may prescribe.

               3.4  Dollar Limitation.  In no event shall  a  Participant's
               Employee-Deferral  Contributions for a Participant's taxable
               year exceed $9,500,  or  such larger amount as allowed under
               Code Section 402(g) to reflect  increases  in  the  cost  of
               living.

               3.5  Return  of Excess Deferral Amounts.  If a Participant's
               Employee-Deferral Contributions under the Plan should exceed
<PAGE>
               the dollar limitation under Section 3.4 for a Plan Year, the
               excess amount  and the earnings thereon shall be distributed
               to the Participant  no later than the April 15 following the
               calendar year of the  excess  deferral.   If  a  Participant
               notifies  the  Committee  in  writing  no later than March 1
               following the calendar year of the excess  deferral  that he
               was  also  a  participant in a plan of an unrelated employer
               governed  by  the  Code  Section  402(g)  dollar  limitation
               described in Section 3.4, that the total deferrals under the
               plans exceeded  the  dollar  limitation described in Section
               3.4, and that he has allocated  some  or  all  of the excess
               deferrals  to this Plan, then the excess allocated  to  this
               Plan (and the  earnings thereon) shall be distributed to the
               Participant no later than the following April 15.

               Any returned excess  deferrals  must  include income or loss
               for  the  calendar  year  of the excess deferral,  and  must
               include income or loss for  the "gap period" between the end
               of that year and the date of distribution.  The gain or loss
               allocable to the Excess Deferral  Amount  for  the preceding
               calendar year shall be determined by any reasonable  method,
               provided that such method does not violate Section 401(a)(4)
               of  the  Code,  is  consistently  applied,  and  is used for
               allocating income to Participants' Accounts.

               Any   Matching   Contributions   attributable   to  returned
               Employee-Deferrals shall be forfeited.  The amount of excess
               deferrals  to  be  distributed  shall  be  reduced by Excess
               Contributions  previously distributed for the  taxable  year
               ending in the same Plan Year, as provided in Section 3.7.

               3.6   Non-Discrimination Rules

                     (a)  Definition.     The    term    "Actual   Deferral
                          Percentage" (hereinafter "ADP")  as  used in this
                          Section 3.6 shall mean, for each specified  group
                          of  Eligible  Employees  for  a  Plan  Year,  the
                          average  of the ratios (calculated separately for
                          each Eligible  Employee in such group) of (1) the
                          amount of Employee-Deferrals  actually  delivered
                          to the Trustee for the Eligible Employee  for the
                          Plan  Year  to  (2) the Eligible Employee's Total
                          Compensation for  the  portion  of such Plan Year
                          (during  which)  the  Employee  was  an  Eligible
                          Employee.  The ADP shall be calculated separately
                          for  the  group  consisting of Highly Compensated
                          Employees and the  group consisting of Non-Highly
                          Compensated Employees.

                     (b)  An Eligible Employee  who fails to make Employee-
                          Deferrals shall be included in the testing with a
                          ratio of zero.

                     (c)  The  Tests.   In each Plan  Year  the  Plan  must
                          satisfy one of the following tests:

                          (i)   The  ADP for  Eligible  Employees  who  are
                                Highly  Compensated  Employees for the Plan
                                Year shall not exceed  the ADP for Eligible
<PAGE>
                                Employees  who  are Non-Highly  Compensated
                                Employees for the same Plan Year multiplied
                                by 1.25; or

                          (ii)  The  ADP  for Eligible  Employees  who  are
                                Highly Compensated  Employees  for the Plan
                                Year shall not exceed the ADP for  Eligible
                                Employees  who  are  Non-Highly Compensated
                                Employees for the same Plan Year multiplied
                                by 2.0, provided that  the ADP for Eligible
                                Employees   who   are  Highly   Compensated
                                Employees  does  not  exceed  the  ADP  for
                                Eligible  Employees   who   are  Non-Highly
                                Compensated Employees by more  than two (2)
                                percentage points.

                     (d)  Special Rules in Connection with ADP Testing:

                          (i)   The ADP for any Eligible Employee  who is a
                                Highly  Compensated  Employee for the  Plan
                                Year and who is eligible  to have Employee-
                                Deferrals allocated to his  accounts  under
                                two  or more arrangements described in Code
                                Section  401(k), that are maintained by one
                                or more Employers,  shall  be determined as
                                if  such  contributions were made  under  a
                                single   arrangement.     If    a    Highly
                                Compensated Employee participates in two or
                                more  cash  or  deferred  arrangements that
                                have  different  plan years,  all  cash  or
                                deferred arrangements ending with or within
                                the same calendar  year shall be treated as
                                a single arrangement.

                          (ii)  In the event that this  Plan  satisfies the
                                requirements   of   Code  Sections  401(k),
                                401(a)(4),  or 410(b)  only  if  aggregated
                                with one or more  other plans, or if one or
                                more other plans satisfy  the  requirements
                                of  such  Code  Sections only if aggregated
                                with this Plan, then this Section 3.6 shall
                                be  applied  by  determining   the  ADP  of
                                Employees  as  if  all  such  plans were  a
                                single plan.

                          (iii) For purposes of determining the  ADP  of an
                                Eligible  Employee who is a five (5%) owner
                                or one of the  ten  (10)  most  highly-paid
                                Highly Compensated Employees, the Employee-
                                Deferrals  and Total Compensation  of  such
                                Eligible   Employee   shall   include   the
                                Employee-Deferrals  and  Total Compensation
                                for  the  Plan  Year  of  members   of  the
                                Eligible  Employee's Family (as defined  at
                                Section 1.9).   Family members with respect
                                to such Highly Compensated  Employees shall
                                be  disregarded  as  separate Employees  in
                                determining  the  ADP  both   for  Eligible
                                Employees  who  are  Non-Highly Compensated
<PAGE>
                                Employees  and for Eligible  Employees  who
                                are Highly Compensated Employees.

                          (iv)  For purposes  of  determining the ADP test,
                                Employee-Deferrals   shall  be  taken  into
                                account only if:  paid  to the Trust before
                                the  last  day  of  the twelve  (12)  month
                                period immediately following  the Plan Year
                                to  which  the  contributions  relate;  and
                                which  relate  to Total Compensation  which
                                would have been  received  by  the Eligible
                                Employee  in  the  Plan  Year (but for  the
                                deferral election) or which is attributable
                                to  services  performed  by  the   Eligible
                                Employee  in  the Plan Year and would  have
                                been  received  by  the  Eligible  Employee
                                within 2 1/2 months  after  the  close  of the
                                Plan Year (but for the deferral election).

                          (v)   The determination and treatment of the  ADP
                                amounts  of  any  Eligible  Employee  shall
                                satisfy  such other requirements as may  be
                                prescribed   by   the   Secretary   of  the
                                Treasury.

                          (vi)  In  the  event  that  the ADP of the Highly
                                Compensated  Employees for  the  Plan  Year
                                determined as  a date prior to the last day
                                of the Plan Year  indicates  that  the Plan
                                for the year will not otherwise comply with
                                either  ADP  test,  the  Committee  has the
                                authority  to  reduce the Employee-Deferral
                                rate for the remainder of the Plan Year for
                                all or a portion  of the Highly Compensated
                                Employees   in  an  equitable   manner   to
                                increase the likelihood that one of the ADP
                                tests will be satisfied.

               3.7   Return of Excess Contributions

                     (a)  Definition.  "Excess  Contributions" for a Highly
                          Compensated Employee shall  be  determined in the
                          following  manner.   First,  the actual  deferral
                          ratio  (ADR)  of the Highly Compensated  Employee
                          with the highest  ADR  is  reduced  to the extent
                          necessary to satisfy the ADP test or  cause  such
                          ratio  to  equal  the  ADR  of  the  next  Highly
                          Compensated  Employee  with  the  highest  ratio.
                          Second,  this  process  is repeated until the ADP
                          test   is  satisfied.   The  amount   of   Excess
                          Contributions is the total of Employee Deferrals,
                          plus  Qualified   Nonelective  Contributions  and
                          Qualified  Matching   Contributions   taken  into
                          account  in determining the employee's ADR  minus
                          the  amount   determined   by   multiplying   the
                          employee's    ADR   by   the   employee's   Total
                          Compensation.

                     (b)  Determination of  Income  or Loss.  The income or
<PAGE>
                          loss allocable to Excess Contributions  shall  be
                          determined  pursuant  to  Section  8.3.  Earnings
                          must include income or loss for the  "gap period"
                          between the end of the taxable year and  the date
                          of distribution.

                     (c)  Distribution     of     Excess     Contributions.
                          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan,
                          Excess Contributions, plus any income  and  minus
                          any  loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed
                          no later  than  the  last day of the Plan Year to
                          Participants  to  whose   accounts   such  Excess
                          Contributions  were  allocated  for the preceding
                          Plan Year.  Such distributions shall  be  made to
                          Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of  the
                          respective  portions  of the Excess Contributions
                          attributable  to each of  such  Employees.   With
                          respect to Participants  who  are  subject to the
                          family  member aggregation rules of Code  Section
                          414(q)(6),  the ADP of such Participants shall be
                          reduced in accordance  with the "leveling" method
                          described  in  Section  1.401(k)-1(f)(2)  of  the
                          regulations and the Excess  Contributions of such
                          Participants shall be allocated  among the family
                          members  in  proportion  to the contributions  of
                          each family member.  Excess  Contributions  shall
                          be  treated  as  Annual Additions under the Plan.
                          The  amount  of  Excess   Contributions   to   be
                          distributed  shall be reduced by excess deferrals
                          previously distributed for the same year pursuant
                          to Section 3.5  and  any  Matching  Contributions
                          with   respect   to   such   distributed   Excess
                          Contributions (and the earnings thereon) shall be
                          forfeited.

               3.8   Rollover Contributions.  A Participant who has entered
          into  an  Employee-Deferral  Agreement may contribute to the Plan
          any   amount  distributed  from  the   Participant's   individual
          retirement  account,  individual retirement annuity, or qualified
          plan which qualifies under  either  of  Code  Sections  402(c) or
          408(d)(3)(A)(ii), which is transferred within the required  time,
          and  which meets all other requirements of law for a rollover  to
          the Plan.   The  Employer,  the  Committee, and the Trustee shall
          rely  upon  the  Participant's  written  certification  that  the
          transfer  is  a  permitted  rollover   meeting   all   the  above
          requirements.   Such  a  contribution shall be held in a separate
          Rollover  Contribution  Account  for  the  Participant.   If  the
          Committee should learn that  the  rollover  did  not meet all the
          aforesaid  requirements, the value of the Participant's  Rollover
          Contribution  Account  as of the preceding Valuation Date (or the
          date of the rollover, if later) shall be returned to him.

                                MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS

               4.1   Matching Contributions.   The Board of Directors shall
          annually determine the amount of a Matching Contribution, if any,
          to be contributed for the Plan Year.   The  Matching Contribution
<PAGE>
          shall   be   allocated   based  on  the  ratio  of  each   Active
          Participant's Employee-Deferrals  for  the Plan Year to the total
          of  Employee-Deferrals made by all Active  Participants  for  the
          year.   For  purposes  of  this allocation, Participant Employee-
          Deferrals in excess of 6% of each Participant's Plan Compensation
          shall be disregarded.

               4.2   Forfeitures.  Forfeitures  shall  be  allocated in the
          same manner as Matching Contributions under Section 4.1.

               4.3   Delivery  of  Contributions.   An Employer's  Matching
          Contributions shall be delivered to the Trustee  at  such time as
          the  Employer  determines, but in no event shall any contribution
          for a Plan Year  be  made  later  than  the  deadline,  including
          extensions,  for the filing of the Company's tax return for  that
          year.

               4.4   Adjustments    if    Employee-Deferral   Contributions
          Adjusted.  If under Section 3.5 or  Section  3.7  a Participant's
          Employee-Deferral  Contributions are returned to him,  and  as  a
          result the net Employee-Deferral  Contributions for the Plan Year
          are  a smaller percentage of Plan Compensation  than  the  amount
          taken  into  account in making Matching Contributions, the amount
          of the Matching  Contributions shall be reduced accordingly.  The
          reduction  in  the  Matching   Contribution   (and  any  earnings
          attributable to the reduction) shall be treated  as  a Forfeiture
          under the provisions of Section 4.2.

                     (a)  Definitions:

                          (i)   "Average Contribution Percentage"  or "ACP"
                                shall  mean the average of the Contribution
                                Percentages  of the Eligible Employees in a
                                group.

                          (ii)  "Contribution  Percentage"  shall  mean the
                                ratio  (expressed  as  a percentage) of  an
                                Eligible Employee's Contribution Percentage
                                Amounts  to the Eligible  Employee's  Total
                                Compensation  for  the  portion of the Plan
                                Year  in  which  he  was eligible  to  make
                                Employee-Deferrals.

                          (iii) "Contribution  Percentage   Amounts"  shall
                                mean   the   Matching   Contributions   and

                                Eligible Employee for the  Plan  Year.  The
                                Employer   may   elect   to  use  Employee-
                                Deferrals  in  the Contribution  Percentage
                                Amounts so long  as  the  ADP  test  is met
                                before  the Employee-Deferrals are used  in
                                the  ACP  test  and  continues  to  be  met
                                following the  exclusion of those Employee-
                                Deferrals that are  used  to  meet  the ACP
                                test.

                     (b)  If   an   Eligible  Employee  makes  no  Employee
<PAGE>
                          Deferrals and receives no Matching Contributions,
                          the contribution  ratio that is to be included in
                          determining the ACP is zero.

                     (c)  The  Tests.  In each  Plan  Year  the  Plan  must
                          satisfy one of the following tests:

                          (i)   The  ACP  for  Eligible  Employees  who are
                                Highly  Compensated Employees for the  Plan
                                Year shall  not exceed the ACP for Eligible
                                Employees who  are  Non-Highly  Compensated
                                Employees for the same Plan Year multiplied
                                by 1.25; or

                          (ii)  The  ACP  for  Eligible  Employees who  are
                                Highly Compensated Employees  for  the Plan
                                Year  shall not exceed the ACP for Eligible
                                Employees  who  are  Non-Highly Compensated
                                Employees for the same Plan Year multiplied
                                by  two  (2),  provided that  the  ACP  for
                                Eligible   Employees    who    are   Highly
                                Compensated  Employees does not exceed  the
                                ACP for Eligible  Employees  who  are  Non-
                                Highly  Compensated  Employees by more than
                                two (2) percentage points.

                     (d)  Special Rules:

                          (i)   (A)   "Aggregate  Limit"   shall  mean  the
                                      greater of (A) or (B) below:

                                      (1)The sum of

                                         a)  one     hundred    twenty-five
                                             percent (125%)  of the greater
                                             of the ADP or the  ACP  of the
                                             Non-Highly         Compensated
                                             Employees  in  the  same  Plan
                                             Year, plus

                                         b)  Two (2) percentage points plus
                                             the lesser of such ADP  or ACP
                                             of    Non-Highly   Compensated
                                             Employees  in  the  same  Plan
                                             Year,  provided, however, that
                                             in no event  shall this amount
                                             exceed  two  hundred   percent
                                             (200%)  of  the lesser of  the
                                             ADP or the ACP  of  Non-Highly
                                             Compensated Employees, and

                                      (2)The sum of

                                         a)  one     hundred    twenty-five
                                             percent (125%)  of  the lesser
                                             of the ADP or the ACP  of  the
                                             Non-Highly         Compensated
                                             Employees  in  the  same  Plan
                                             Year, plus
<PAGE>
                                         b)  Two (2) percentage points plus
                                             the greater of the ADP  or the
                                             ACP  of Non-Highly Compensated
                                             Employees  in  the  same  Plan
                                             Year,  provided, however, that
                                             in no event  shall this amount
                                             exceed  two  hundred   percent
                                             (200%)  of the greater of  the
                                             ADP or the  ACP  of Non-Highly
                                             Compensated Employees.

                                (B)   Multiple Use:  If the sum  of the ADP
                                      and  ACP  of  the  Highly Compensated
                                      Employees   exceeds   the   Aggregate
                                      Limit,  then  the ACP of  the  Highly
                                      Compensated Employees will be reduced
                                      (beginning    with     the     Highly
                                      Compensated Employee whose ACP is the
                                      highest)  so  that  the  limit is not
                                      exceeded.  If the Employer  elects to
                                      reduce   the   ACP   of   the  Highly
                                      Compensated  Employee,  the  required
                                      reduction  shall  be  treated  as  an
                                      Excess     Aggregate     Contribution
                                      described below.  The ADP  and ACP of
                                      the Highly Compensated Employees  are
                                      determined   after   any  corrections
                                      required  to  meet  the ADP  and  ACP
                                      tests.  Multiple use  does  not occur
                                      if both the ADP and ACP of the Highly
                                      Compensated Employees does not exceed
                                      1.25 multiplied by the ADP and ACP of
                                      the Non-Highly Compensated Employees.

                          (ii)  For   purposes   of   this   section,   the
                                Contribution  Percentage  for  any Eligible
                                Employee   who   is  a  Highly  Compensated
                                Employee  and  who  is   eligible  to  have
                                Contribution  Percentage Amounts  allocated
                                to his account  under two (2) or more plans
                                described  in  Code   Section   401(a),  or
                                arrangements   described  in  Code  Section
                                401(k) that are  maintained  by one or more
                                Employers, shall be determined  as  if  the
                                total   of   such  Contribution  Percentage
                                Amounts was made  under  each  plan.   If a
                                Highly Compensated Employee participates in
                                two   (2)   or   more   cash   or  deferred
                                arrangements  under  Code  Section   401(k)
                                ("CODA"),  that  have different plan years,
                                all CODAs ending with  or  within  the same
                                calendar year shall be treated as a  single
                                arrangement.

                          (iii) In  the event that this Plan satisfies  the
                                requirements   of   Code  Sections  401(m),
                                401(a)(4) or 410(b) only if aggregated with
                                one or more other plans,  or if one or more
                                other  plans  satisfy  the requirements  of
<PAGE>
                                such Code Sections only  if aggregated with
                                this  Plan,  then  this  section  shall  be
                                applied  by  determining  the  Contribution
                                Percentages of Eligible Employees as if all
                                such plans were a single plan.

                          (iv)  For    purposes    of    determining    the
                                Contribution  Percentage  of   an  Eligible
                                Employee  who is a five percent (5%)  owner
                                or one of the  ten  (10)  most  highly-paid
                                Highly     Compensated    Employees,    the
                                Contribution  Percentage  Amounts and Total
                                Compensation  of  such  Eligible   Employee
                                shall  include  the Contribution Percentage
                                Amounts and Total Compensation for the Plan
                                Year  of Family members.   Family  members,
                                with   respect    to   Highly   Compensated
                                Employees, shall be disregarded as separate
                                Employees in determining  the  Contribution
                                Percentage both for Eligible Employees  who
                                are  Non-Highly  Compensated  Employees and
                                for  Eligible  Employees  who  are   Highly
                                Compensated Employees.

                          (v)   For  purposes  of  determining  the Average
                                Contributions   Percentage  test,  Employer
                                Matching Contributions  will  be considered
                                made  for a Plan Year only if (i)  paid  to
                                the trust  no  later  than  the  end of the
                                twelve (12) month period beginning  on  the
                                day  after  the  close of the Plan Year and
                                (ii)  made  on account  of  the  Employee's
                                Employee-Deferral for the Plan Year.

                     (e)  Excess  Aggregate  Contributions.    The   Excess
                          Aggregate  Contributions for a Highly Compensated
                          Employee shall  be determined as follows:  First,
                          the actual contribution ratio (ACR) of the Highly
                          Compensated Employee  with  the  highest  ACR  is
                          reduced  to  the  extent necessary to satisfy the
                          ACP test or cause such  ratio to equal the ACR of
                          the  Highly Compensated Employee  with  the  next
                          highest  ratio.  Second, this process is repeated
                          until the ACP test is satisfied.  For each Highly
                          Compensated  Employee,  the  amount of the Excess
                          Aggregate  Contributions is equal  to  the  total
                          Employee Deferrals  and  Matching  Contributions,
                          plus  Qualified  Nonelective  Contributions   and
                          other   contributions   taken   into  account  in
                          determining  the ACR minus the amount  determined
                          by  multiplying   the   employee's   ACR  by  the
                          employee's Total Compensation.  If the Plan fails
                          to   satisfy   the  ACP  Test,  Excess  Aggregate
                          Contributions  and   income   or  loss  allocable
                          thereto for the Plan Year in which  the  ACP Test
                          is failed, shall be treated as follows:

                          (i)   Disposition     of     Excess     Aggregate
                                Contributions.   Notwithstanding any  other
<PAGE>
                                provision of this  Plan,  Excess  Aggregate
                                Contributions,  plus  any income and  minus
                                any  loss  allocable  thereto,   shall   be
                                distributed,  no later than the last day of
                                each  Plan  Year,   to  Highly  Compensated
                                Employees  or  forfeited,  where  otherwise

                                preceding  Plan  Year.   Excess   Aggregate

                                Participants  who are subject to the family
                                member aggregation  rules  of  Code Section

                                shall  be  reduced in accordance  with  the
                                "leveling"  method   described  in  Section
                                1.401(m)-1(e)(2) of the regulations and the

                                Contributions.        Excess      Aggregate
                                Contributions  shall be  distributed  on  a
                                pro-rata  basis  from   the   Participant's
                                Employer  Contribution  Account  (and,   if

                          Matching  Contribution   may   be   made  by  the
                          Employers  on  the  basis  of  either a specified
                          dollar amount or a specified percentage  of  Plan
                          Compensation  of the Employee who is eligible for
                          such  contribution  under  the  nondiscrimination
                          tests.   Such  Qualified  Matching  Contributions
                          shall  be nonforfeitable when made and  shall  be
                          subject  to the same restrictions on distribution
                          that apply to Employee-Deferrals.

                     (b)  Qualified Nonelective Contributions.  A Qualified
                          Nonelective  Contribution  may  be  made  by  the

                          dollar amount or a specified percentage  of  Plan
<PAGE>
                          Compensation  of the Employee who is eligible for
                          such  contribution  under  the  nondiscrimination
                          tests.   Such Qualified Nonelective Contributions
                          shall be nonforfeitable  and  shall be subject to
                          the same restrictions on distribution  that apply
                          to Employee-Deferrals.

                     (c)  Qualified Matching Contributions and/or Qualified
                          Nonelective  Contributions  may  be  treated   as
                          Employee   Deferrals   only   if  the  conditions
                          described   in   Section   1.401(k)-1(b)(5)   are
                          satisfied.   Qualified Nonelective  Contributions
                          may be treated  as  Matching Contributions if the
                          conditions described  in Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(5)
                          of the regulations are satisfied.

                     (d)  The Employer will maintain  records sufficient to
                          demonstrate   compliance   with   this   section,
                          including   the   extent   to   which   Qualified
                          Nonelective  Contributions and Qualified Matching
                          Contributions  are  taken into account to satisfy
                          the ADP and ACP tests.

                     (e)  The use of contributions described above shall be
                          as provided in regulations  under  Section 401(k)

                         EMPLOYER DISCRETIONARY CONTRIBUTIONS

               5.1   Employer  Discretionary Contributions.  The  Board  of
          Directors  shall  annually   determine  the  amount  of  Employer
          Discretionary Contributions, if  any,  to  be contributed for the
          Plan Year.  The Company may contribute all or  part of the entire
          amount due on behalf of one or more Participating  Employers  and
          charge   the   amount  thereof  to  the  Participating  Employers
          responsible therefor.

               In no event  shall the contribution, when added to the other
          contributions under the Plan, exceed the maximum amount which may
          be claimed as a deduction  by  the Company for federal income tax
          purposes under Code Section 404(a)(3).

               The contribution, if any, shall  be delivered in one or more
          installments to the Trustee no later than the due date (including
          extensions) of the Company's federal income  tax  return  for its
          fiscal  year  ending  with  or during the Plan Year for which the
          contribution is made.

               5.2   Allocation  of Employer  Discretionary  Contributions.
          As  of each Annual Valuation  Date,  the  Employer  Discretionary
          Contribution,   if  any,  shall  be  allocated  to  the  Employer
          Contribution  Accounts   of   all   Active  Participants  in  the
          proportion that each such Active Participant's Total Compensation
          bears to the Total Compensation for all  Active  Participants for
          such  year.   Notwithstanding any other provision, each  Employee
          shall become an  Eligible  Employee, for purposes of receiving an
          allocation of an Employer Discretionary  Contribution,  as of the
<PAGE>
          day  the  Employee has both (a) attained age 21 and (b) completed
          one Year of Service.

               5.3   Top-Heavy  Contributions.   As  of the end of any Plan
          Year  in  which  the  Plan  is  Top-Heavy,  the  Employer   shall
          contribute   to   the   Employer  Contribution  Account  of  each
          Participant who is a Non-Key  Employee  the amount required under
          Article XV.

                                       VESTING

               6.1   Employee-Deferral   Account.   The   interest   of   a
          Participant  in  his Employee-Deferral  Account  shall  be  fully
          vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

               6.2   Rollover  Contribution  Account.   The  interest  of a
          Participant  in  his Rollover Contribution Account shall be fully
          vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

               6.3   Employer  Contribution  Account.   The  interest  of a
          Participant  in  his Employer Contribution Account shall be fully
          vested and nonforfeitable  upon such Participant's death prior to
          termination of employment, attainment  of  the  Normal Retirement
          Age while still employed, or termination of employment  by reason
          of Disability.  When a Participant's employment is terminated for
          any other reason, the vested and nonforfeitable interest  of such
          Participant  shall be determined in accordance with the following
          schedule:

                    ----------------------------------------
                      Years of Service           Vested %

                    Less than 5 years               0
                    5 years or more                100
                    ----------------------------------------

               6.4   Forfeitures.

                     (a)  For purposes of this Section 6.4, if a
                          Participant's account is 0% vested upon his
                          Service Termination Date, he shall be deemed to
                          have received a distribution of his account
                          balance (and therefore a forfeiture results) as
                          of the end of the Plan Year in which the Service
                          Termination Date occurred.

                     (b)  The forfeitures shall be applied in accordance
                          with Section 4.2.

                     (c)  A Participant can have a forfeiture restored
                          after reemployment, but only under the
                          circumstances described in Section 6.6.

               6.5   Reemployment Before Break in Service.  If an Employee
          has a Service Termination Date and is reemployed before a One-
          Year Break in Service occurs, he will be treated for vesting
          purposes as if the termination had not occurred.
<PAGE>
               6.6   Reemployment After Break in Service.  The following
          special rules apply if an Employee has a One-Year Break in
          Service and is later reemployed by an Employer.

                     (a)  His Years of Service prior to the Break in
                          Service shall be taken into account for purposes
                          of determining the vested portion of such
                          Participant's Employer Contribution Account
                          funded after reemployment (i) if any portion of
                          the Participant's Employer Contribution Account
                          is vested at the time of the Break in Service, or
                          (ii) if he incurs fewer than five consecutive
                          one-year Breaks in Service.

                     (b)  His Years of Service which accrue after the Break
                          in Service shall be taken into account for
                          purposes of determining the vested portion of
                          such Participant's Employer Contribution Account
                          funded prior to the Break in Service, provided
                          such Participant is reemployed by the Employer
                          before he incurs five (5) consecutive one-year
                          Breaks in Service.

                     (c)  (i)   If a Participant has a Service Termination
                                Date and receives a distribution of the
                                balance of his Employer Contribution
                                Account, he will be credited with the full
                                value of his forfeited account balance,
                                determined as of the date of the
                                distribution, provided the Participant
                                repays the amount of the distribution
                                before the earlier of (1) five (5) years
                                after the first day on which an Employee is
                                subsequently reemployed by the Employer, or
                                (2) the close of the first period of five
                                (5) consecutive Breaks in Service.  Any
                                Participant who terminates employment with
                                zero vesting shall be credited with the
                                full value of his Employer Contribution
                                Account determined as of the date of the
                                deemed distribution under Paragraph 6.4(a)
                                if the Participant is reemployed before he
                                incurs five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks
                                in Service.

                          (ii)  If any credit is required under this
                                Paragraph (c), the credit shall be made at
                                the close of the Plan Year in which occurs
                                the later of the reemployment or the
                                repayment.  The credit shall be satisfied
                                first from Forfeitures, second from
                                Employer Discretionary Contributions.

          businesses under common control (within the meaning of Code
          Sections 1563(a) or 414(b) as modified by 415(h) and 414(c)), or
          an affiliated service group (within the meaning of Code Sections
          414(m) and 318) with an Employer.  All such Employers shall be
          treated as a single Employer for purposes of applying the Code
<PAGE>
          Section 415 limitations.

               The term Limitation Year shall mean the Plan Year or any
          other twelve-month period designated by the Board of Directors.

               7.3   Annual Additions.  No contribution or forfeiture shall
          be allocated to the Accounts of an Employee for a Limitation Year
          in excess of an amount which, when expressed as an Annual
          Addition to such Employee's Accounts, is equal to the lesser of
          (a) $30,000 or such larger amount equal to 1/4 of the defined
          benefit dollar limitation as adjusted for cost-of-living
          increases pursuant to Code Sections 415(c)(1), 415(d)(1) and
          415(d)(3), or (b) twenty-five percent of such Employee's Section
          415 Compensation for such limitation.

               7.4   Limitation for Other Defined Contribution Plans.  In
          the event that the Annual Addition which would otherwise be made
          to an Employee's accounts under all defined contribution plans
          maintained by the Employer for any Limitation Year exceeds the
          limitations set forth in this Article VII, the excess Annual
          Addition shall be attributed first to the Plan, and the Employer
          shall treat such excess as follows:

                     (a)  First, the Employee-Deferral Contributions in
                          excess of six percent of Plan Compensation shall
                          be returned to the Employee to the extent
                          necessary.

                     (b)  Second, the portion of the excess consisting of
                          Matching Contributions shall be allocated and
                          reallocated to the Employer Contribution Accounts
                          of other Participants in accordance with Section
                          4.1 to the extent such allocations would not
                          cause Annual Additions to each Participant's
                          Accounts to exceed the limitations of this
                          Section 7.4

                     (c)  Third, the portion of the excess consisting of
                          Employer Discretionary Contributions shall be
                          allocated and reallocated to the Employer
                          Contribution Accounts of other Participants in
                          accordance with Section 5.2 to the extent such
                          allocations would not cause Annual Additions to
                          each Participant's Accounts to exceed the
                          limitation of this Section 7.4.

                     (d)  If treated in accordance with subparagraphs (a)
                          through (c) above, the excess amounts shall not
                          be deemed Annual Additions in that limitation
                          year if the excess amounts are a result of the
                          allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable error in
                          estimating a Participant's annual Plan
                          Compensation, a reasonable error in determining
                          the amount of elective deferrals (within the
                          meaning of Section 402(g)(3)) that may be made
                          with respect to any individual under the limits
                          of Section 415 or under other limited facts and
                          circumstances that the Commissioner finds justify
                          the availability of the rules set forth in this
<PAGE>
                          subparagraph.

                     (e)  To the extent excess Annual Additions exist after
                          the distributions described in subparagraphs (a)
                          through (c), such excess amounts shall be
                          allocated to a Section 415 Suspense Account.  All
                          amounts in the Section 415 Suspense Account must
                          be used to reduce Matching Contributions,
                          contributions required on account of a Top-Heavy
                          Plan Year, or Employer Discretionary
                          Contributions in succeeding Limitation Years.  In
                          the event of termination of the Plan, the balance
                          of the Section 415 Suspense Account shall revert
                          to the Company to the extent it may not then be
                          allocated to any Participants' Accounts.

               7.5   Limitation for Defined Benefit Plan. If an Employee is
          also a Participant in one or more defined benefit plans
          maintained by the Employer (or an Employee was a Participant in
          any defined benefit plan previously maintained by an Employer),
          the sum of such Employee's Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and
          Defined Contribution Plan Fraction (as determined pursuant to
          Code Section 415(e)) for any Limitation Year may not exceed 1.0.

               In the event that the sum of an Employee's Defined
          Contribution Plan and Defined Benefit Plan Fractions would
          otherwise exceed 1.0 for any Limitation Year, the benefit accrual
          which would otherwise be made under all applicable defined
          benefit plans for such Employee shall be considered not to have
          accrued, to the extent necessary, so that the sum of such
          fractions does not exceed 1.0.  If after all such adjustments the
          sum of the fractions would still exceed 1.0, then the annual
          addition which would otherwise be made with respect to such
          Employee shall be reduced in this Plan pursuant to Section 7.4
          and finally under any applicable defined contribution plan to the
          extent necessary so that the sum does not exceed 1.0.


                                     ARTICLE VIII
                                      TRUST FUND

               8.1   Plan Assets.  Avondale Industries, Inc. and the
          Trustee have entered into a Trust Agreement, which agreement
          provides for the establishment of a single Trust for the purpose
          of holding and administering all amounts contributed to Accounts
          under the Plan.  All contributions, and the earnings on such
          amounts, shall be delivered to the Trustee and held and
          administered pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and the Trust
          Agreement.

               8.2   Separate Accounts.  A separate Employee-Deferral
          Account and Employer Contribution Account and Rollover
          Contribution Account shall be maintained by the Trustee or a
          recordkeeping agent appointed by the Plan Administrator for each
          Participant.

               8.3   Valuation.  The fair market value of the assets
          comprising the Trust shall be determined as of each Valuation
          Date, in accordance with generally-accepted valuation methods and
<PAGE>
          accounting practices.

               As of each Valuation Date, the value of each Account shall
          be adjusted to reflect the effect on each sub-account of any
          change in the value of each Investment Fund since the preceding
          Valuation Date, as well as the effect of any deposits,
          withdrawals, distributions, or other transactions occurring since
          the last Valuation Date.  The Committee shall provide to each
          Participant, Beneficiary and alternate payee as of the end of
          each calendar quarter a statement of the value of each Account in
          which such person has an interest.

               8.4   Investment Funds.

                     (a)  The Committee shall determine what investment
                          funds to offer under the Plan and may, from time
                          to time, change the investment funds offered
                          hereunder.  As of the Effective Date of this
                          Plan, the investment funds are Merrill Lynch
                          Retirement Preservation Trust, Merrill Lynch
                          Capital Fund, Merrill Lynch Corporate Bond Fund
                          Investment Grade, AIM Constellation Fund, AIM
                          Value Fund, and Templeton Growth Fund.

                     (b)  As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall
                          perform a valuation of each Investment Fund in
                          order to determine the value of each Investment
                          Fund and to reconcile the Investment Funds from
                          the prior Valuation Date.  Such valuation shall
                          recognize any appreciation or depreciation in the
                          fair market value of all securities or other
                          property held by each respective Investment Fund,
                          any cash and accrued earnings and shall take into
                          account any accrued expenses and proper charges
                          against the Investment Fund as of such Valuation
                          Date.

               8.5   Investment of Contributions.

                     (a)  A Participant may direct that his Employee-
                          Deferral Contributions, Employer Contributions
                          and Rollover Contributions, if any, be allocated
                          to one or more of the Investment Funds then
                          available, in multiples of one percent (1%), by
                          providing voice consent after such Participant
                          has accessed a voice response system by entering
                          his personal identification number in accordance
                          with limitations reasonably determined by the
                          Committee, or in writing on a form acceptable to
                          the Committee.  The total of all such allocations
                          shall equal one hundred percent of the
                          Participant's interest in his Accounts.  The
                          Committee will provide, upon Participant's
                          request, a written confirmation of his written
                          investment instructions.

                     (b)  If no investment direction exists the
                          Participant's affected interest shall
                          automatically be invested in a short term income
<PAGE>
                          fund until adequate instructions are received
                          through a voice response system or in writing on
                          an acceptable form; provided that such investment
                          will not result in violation of ERISA.

                     (c)  Each Participant must consent to the allocation
                          of his contributions among the Investment Funds.
                          Such direction shall continue in effect until
                          such time as the Participant consents to a
                          different allocation.  The investment of future
                          contributions may be changed daily, provided such
                          change is received by the Committee within such
                          time period preceding the effective date as shall
                          be prescribed by the Committee.

               8.6   Transfer of Amounts Among Investment Funds

                     (a)  A Participant may elect to transfer amounts from
                          one Investment Fund to another in increments of
                          one percent (1%).  Any such change shall be by
                          providing voice consent after the Participant has
                          accessed a voice response system by entering his
                          personal identification number, or in writing on
                          a form acceptable to the Committee.  Such
                          election shall be effective on the business day
                          transacted if requested via the voice response
                          system before 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or as
                          soon as administratively feasible if requested on
                          a written form.  Transfers out of an investment
                          fund can be processed in terms of dollars,
                          shares, or percentages.  Dollar and percent
                          transfers will be converted into shares, traded
                          based on the previous night's price, and
                          processed based on the current night's price.

                     (b)  In the event an acceptable form is not received
                          by the Committee for all or any portion of a
                          Participant's Accounts, the current investment
                          direction shall continue in effect until adequate
                          instructions are received through a voice
                          response system or in writing on an acceptable
                          form.

                     (c)  The timing and frequency of transfers among
                          investment options may be further restricted if
                          such restrictions are required by the institution
                          handling or providing the investment fund.

               8.7   Liability for Investment Decisions.  This Plan is
          intended to constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of
          ERISA, and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section
          2550.404c-1.  Fiduciaries of the Plan may be relieved of
          liability for any losses which are the direct and necessary
          result of investment instructions given by each Participant or
          Beneficiary.  Neither the Employer, the Trustee nor the Committee
          shall be responsible for any loss which may result from a
          Participant's exercise of control over the investment of his
          Accounts.

<PAGE>
               Each Participant shall have exclusive responsibility for and
          control over the investment of amounts allocated to his Accounts.
          Neither the Employers, the Trustee nor the Committee shall have
          any duty, responsibility or right to question a Participant's
          investment directions or to advise a Participant with respect to
          the investment of his accounts.

               The Committee will  be obligated to follow the Participant's
          investment directions except when the instructions:

                     (a)  are not in accordance with this Plan document and
                          instruments governing this Plan insofar as such
                          documents and instruments are consistent with the
                          provisions of Title I of ERISA;

                     (b)  would result in a prohibited transaction
                          described in ERISA section 406 or Code section
                          4975 that is not otherwise exempted by statute or
                          regulation;

                     (c)  would generate income that would be taxable to
                          this Plan;

                     (d)  would cause a fiduciary to maintain the indicia
                          of ownership  of any assets of the Plan outside
                          the jurisdiction of the district courts of the
                          United States other than as permitted by section
                          404(b) of ERISA and related regulations;

                     (e)  would jeopardize the Plan's tax qualified status
                          under the Code; or

                     (f)  could result in a loss in excess of the Account
                          balance.

               8.8   Accounting Procedures.  The Committee shall establish
          such equitable accounting procedures as may be required to make
          (a) allocations, (b) valuations, and (c) adjustments to Partici-
          pants' accounts in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
          The Plan Administrator may modify its accounting procedures, from
          time to time, for the purpose of achieving equitable and non-
          discriminatory allocations.


                                      ARTICLE IX
                                       BENEFITS

               9.1   Normal Retirement Date.  The Normal Retirement Date
          shall be the later of (a) the Participant's Normal Retirement Age
          or (b) the first day of the month coincident with or next
          following a Participant's fourth anniversary of commencement of
          participation in the Plan.  Any Participant who remains an
          Employee beyond Normal Retirement Date, or becomes a Participant
          after such date, shall participate in the contributions and
          benefits of the Plan in the same manner as any other Participant.

               9.2   Disability Retirement Date.  Any Participant who has
          incurred a Disability, as determined by the Committee, may retire
          on a Disability Retirement Date by making written application to
<PAGE>
          the Committee specifying a Disability Retirement Date which is
          the first day of a month not more than 90 days following the date
          of the filing of the application.  Former Employees shall not be
          eligible for Disability Retirement unless the Disability was
          determined to have occurred during the course of such former
          Employee's employment with the Employer.  Subject to Section 12.6
          the determination of the Committee as to whether a Participant
          has a Disability and the date of such Disability shall be final,
          binding and conclusive.

               9.3   Nonalienation of Benefits.  Except with respect to
          federal income tax withholding and federal tax levies, benefits
          payable under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to
          anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
          encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any kind,
          either voluntary or involuntary, including any such liability
          which is for alimony or other payments for the support of a
          spouse or former spouse or for any other relative of the
          Employee, prior to actually being received by the person entitled
          to the benefit under the terms of the Plan; and any attempt to
          anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber,
          charge or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable
          hereunder, shall be void.  The Trust Fund shall not in any manner
          be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities,
          engagements or torts of any person entitled to benefits
          hereunder.

               Notwithstanding the above, the Committee shall direct the
          Trustee to comply with a qualified domestic relations order
          described in Section 9.4.

               9.4  Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  All rights and
          benefits, including election rights, provided to Participants
          pursuant to this Plan, are subject to the rights afforded to any
          "alternate payee" pursuant to a "qualified domestic relations
          order," as those terms are defined below.

               Payment to an "alternate payee" pursuant to a "qualified
          domestic relations order" shall be made at such time as
          determined pursuant to the qualified domestic relations order,
          based on the value of the alternate payee's interest in the
          account as of the Valuation Date preceding the date the payment
          is made.  No payment to an alternate payee can be made later than
          when the Participant's benefit is paid to him as a result of his
          termination of employment.  If the Participant has a loan as an
          investment of his account, such Participant will continue to be
          responsible for the entire loan.  The Plan Administrator is
          authorized to establish any additional rules necessary to
          determine the rights of alternate payees under qualified domestic
          relations orders.

               Pursuant to the provisions of Section 414(p) of the Code, a
          "qualified domestic relations order" shall mean a judgment,
          decree or order (including approval of a property settlement
          agreement) made pursuant to a state domestic relations law
          (including a community property law) that relates to the
          provision of child support, alimony payments, or marital property
          rights to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a
          Participant ("alternate payee") and which:
<PAGE>
                     (a)  creates or recognizes the existence of an
                          alternate payee's right to, or assigns to an
                          alternate payee the right to, receive all or a
                          portion of the benefits payable to a Participant
                          under this Plan; and

                     (b)  specifies (i) the name and last known mailing
                          address (if any) of the Participant and each
                          alternate payee covered by the order, (ii) the
                          amount or percentage of the Participant's
                          benefits under the Plan to be paid to each such
                          alternate payee, or the manner in which such
                          amount or percentage is to be determined and,
                          (iii) the number of payments or the period to
                          which the order applies; and

                     (c)  does not require this Plan to:

                          (i)   provide any type or form of benefit, or any
                                option, not otherwise provided hereunder;

                          (ii)  pay any benefits to any alternate payee
                                prior to the earlier of:

                                (A)   the earliest date benefits are
                                      payable hereunder to a Participant,
                                      or

                                (B)   the later of the date the Participant
                                      attains age 50 or the earliest date
                                      on which the Participant could obtain
                                      a distribution under the Plan if the
                                      Participant terminated employment;

                          (iii) pay any benefits which are not vested under
                                the Plan;

                          (iv)  provide increased benefits; or

                          (v)   pay benefits to an alternate payee which
                                are required to be paid to another
                                alternate payee under a prior qualified
                                domestic relations order.

               Upon receipt of any judgment, decree or order (including
          approval of a property settlement agreement) relating to the
          provision of payment by the Plan to an alternate payee pursuant
          to a state domestic relations law, the Committee shall promptly
          notify the affected Participant and any person identified in the
          document as an alternate payee of the receipt of such judgment,
          decree order and shall notify the affected Participant and any
          such designated alternate payee of the Committee's procedure for
          determining whether or not the judgment, decree or order is a
          qualified domestic relations order.

               The Committee shall establish procedures to determine the
          status of a judgment, decree or order as a qualified domestic
          relations order and to administer Plan distributions in
          accordance with any such qualified domestic relations order. Such
<PAGE>
          procedures shall be in writing, shall include provisions
          specifying the notification requirements enumerated in the
          preceding paragraph, shall permit an alternate payee to designate
          a representative for receipt of communications from the
          Committee, and shall include such other provisions as the
          Committee shall determine, including such provisions required
          under Treasury Regulations.

               In the event that the Committee is informed in writing of a
          claim by a person (a "Claimant") that may result in the rendering
          of a qualified domestic relations order with respect to a
          Participant's Accounts in the Plan, the Committee is authorized
          to suspend any payments from those Accounts until receipt of a
          judgment, decree or order setting forth the rights of Claimant as
          an alternate payee, or upon receipt of an order or written
          release by the Claimant evidencing that the Claimant has no
          further claim to the Participant's interest in the Plan.

               If the judgment, decree or order is determined to be a
          qualified domestic relations order within the 18-month period
          following the receipt by the Committee of the qualified domestic
          relations order, then payment of the amount shall be paid to the
          appropriate alternate payee at the time and in the form specified
          in such order.  If such a determination is not made within the
          18-month period, the amount shall be returned to the
          Participant's Accounts under the Plan and shall be paid at the
          time and in the manner provided under the Plan as if no order,
          judgment or decree had been received by the Committee.


                                      ARTICLE X
                                 PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

               10.1  Time of Payment.  A Participant shall be eligible to
          receive a distribution of his Vested Interest when he has had a
          Service Termination Date.

               Such a Participant shall be entitled to receive his Vested
          Interest at any time, provided that payment cannot be made sooner
          than 30 days following his Service Termination Date and no later
          than the later of the Participant's Normal Retirement Age or his
          Service Termination Date.  A distribution is based upon the value
          of the Participant's Vested Interest as of the Valuation Date
          coincident with or immediately preceding the date of
          distribution.

               The foregoing notwithstanding:

                     (a)  If the value of a Participant's Vested Interest
                          is less than $3,500, the Vested Interest will be
                          distributed as soon as administratively
                          practicable following the Service Termination
                          Date;

                     (b)  If the value of a Participant's Vested Interest
                          is greater than $3,500, the Participant must
                          consent to the distribution;

                     (c)  Notwithstanding (b) above, if an Employee is
<PAGE>
                          employed on the March 31 following the year in
                          which he attains age 70 1/2, the payment of his
                          Vested Interest shall be made no later than that
                          date.

               In no event shall a distribution occur while a Participant
          remains in the employ of an Employer, except in the event of a
          withdrawal by reason of Financial Hardship or after age 59 1/2, as
          described in Sections 11.1 and 11.2, below.

               The distribution rules that apply to an "alternate payee"
          pursuant to a "qualified domestic relations order" are stated in
          Section 9.4 herein.

               10.2  Death Benefit.  If a Participant dies with a balance
          in his Accounts, the interest of such Participant shall be
          distributed to the Participant's Beneficiary in a single-sum
          payment as soon as administratively practicable after 90 days
          from the Participant's death.

               10.3  Form of Distribution.  Distributions shall be made in
          a single-sum payment.

               10.4  Temporary Non-Payment of Benefits.

                     (a)  Unless the Participant elects otherwise in
                          writing, the payment of his Vested Interest shall
                          commence no later than the sixtieth (60th) day
                          after the close of the Plan Year in which the
                          last of the following occurs:

                          (i)   the Participant achieves Normal Retirement
                                Age, or

                          (ii)  the Participant terminates his service with
                                the Employer, whichever is the latest.

                     (b)  If a Participant or Beneficiary fails to furnish
                          information reasonably requested by the Committee
                          which is necessary to determine whether such
                          Participant or Beneficiary has satisfied all
                          requirements for payment of benefits, the
                          Committee shall delay payment of benefits until
                          the requested information is furnished and shall
                          make reasonable efforts to obtain such
                          information.

               10.5  Direct Rollover Rules.  Notwithstanding any provision
          of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a
          Distributee's election under this Article, the Distributee may
          elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee,
          to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid
          directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the
          Distributee in a Direct Rollover.  Definitions are as follows:

                     (a)  The term Eligible Rollover Distribution means any
                          distribution of all or any portion of the balance
                          to the credit of the Distributee, except that an
                          Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include:
<PAGE>
                          any distribution that is one of a series of
                          substantially equal periodic payments (not less
                          frequently than annually) made for the life (or
                          life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint
                          lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
                          Distributee and the Distributee's designated
                          beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten
                          years or more; any distribution to the extent
                          such distribution is required under Section
                          401(a)(9) of the Code; and the portion of any
                          distribution that is not includible in gross
                          income (determined without regard to the
                          exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with
                          respect to employer securities).

                     (b)  An Eligible Retirement Plan includes an
                          individual retirement account described in
                          Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual
                          retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of
                          the Code, an annuity plan described in Section
                          403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust
                          described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that
                          accepts the Distributee's Eligible Rollover
                          Distribution.  However, in the case of an
                          Eligible Rollover Distribution to the surviving
                          spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an
                          individual retirement account or individual
                          retirement annuity.

                     (c)  The term Distributee includes an employee or
                          former employee.  In addition, the employee's or
                          former employee's surviving spouse and the
                          employee's or former employee's spouse or former
                          spouse who is the alternate payee under a
                          qualified domestic relations order, as defined in
                          Section 414(p) of the Code, are Distributees with
                          regard to the interest of the spouse or former
                          spouse.

                     (d)  The term Direct Rollover means a payment by the
                          plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by
                          the Distributee.

               10.6  Notice.  The notice required by section 1.411(a)-11(c)
          of the Income Tax Regulations must be provided to a Participant
          no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days before the date of
          distribution.  The notice explains a Participant's right to defer
          receipt of the distribution if his Vested Interest exceeds
          $3,500.  A Participant will also receive an explanation of his
          distribution options no less than 30 days and no more than 90
          days before the date of distribution.  The  distribution may
          commence no less than 30 days after the notice required under
          section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given,
          provided that:

                     (a)  the Committee clearly informs the Participant
                          that the Participant has a right to a period of
                          at least 30 days after receiving the notice to
                          consider the decision of whether or not to elect
<PAGE>
                          a distribution, and

                     (b)  the Participant, after receiving the notice,
                          affirmatively elects a distribution.


                                      ARTICLE XI
                          IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTION AND LOANS

               11.1  Distribution after Attaining Age 59 1/2.  A
          Participant who is still an Employee and has attained age 59 1/2
          shall be entitled to make withdrawal(s) from his Employee-
          Deferral Account, Rollover Account and the vested portion of the
          Participant's Employer Contribution Account by notifying the
          Committee.

               11.2  Financial Hardship.  Prior to a Participant's
          termination of employment or age 59 1/2 he may apply to the
          Committee for a withdrawal of funds held in his Rollover
          Contribution Account and Employee-Deferral Account on account of
          a Financial Hardship.  The total of such withdrawals from a
          Participant's Employee-Deferral Account shall not exceed the
          total of his Employee-Deferral Contributions.  The withdrawal
          shall be made only under the following conditions:

                     (a)  The withdrawal may be made only to meet one of
                          the following needs:

                          (i)   Medical expenses described in Code Section
                                213(d), incurred by the Participant, the
                                Participant's spouse, or any dependent (as
                                defined in Code Section 152) of the
                                Participant;

                          (ii)  Purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a
                                principal residence for the Participant;

                          (iii) Payment for all or a portion of the next
                                twelve (12) months of post-secondary
                                education for the Participant, his spouse,
                                children, or dependents;

                          (v)   Any other need permitted under Code Section
                                401(k) and the regulations issued

                                purpose for which it is needed;

                          (ii)  A representation that the expense will not
                                be paid for by insurance or other source
<PAGE>
                                specific to the expense, that the
                                Participant and his spouse (and the
                                Participant's minor child, if the expense
                                is for the child's benefit) have no assets
                                he can liquidate to pay for the expense
                                without creating a new hardship, and that
                                ceasing Employee Deferrals will not suffice
                                to satisfy the needs;

                          (iii) A representation that the Participant has
                                not been able to borrow from commercial
                                sources on reasonable commercial terms in
                                an amount sufficient to satisfy the need;
                                and

                          (iv)  A promise that the funds will be used only
                                for the specified purpose.

                     (c)  The withdrawal cannot exceed the amount necessary
                          to satisfy the need described at paragraph (a),
                          plus any amounts necessary to pay federal or
                          state income taxes or penalties reasonably
                          anticipated to result from the distribution.

                     (d)  The Participant has obtained all distributions,
                          other than hardship distributions, and all non-
                          taxable loans currently available under all
                          "plans" (as contemplated by U.S.  Treasury
                          Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iii)),
                          maintained by the Employer.

                     (e)  The Participant shall not be allowed to make
                          Employee-Deferral Contributions until the Entry
                          Date next following the 12-month anniversary of
                          the withdrawal.

                     (f)  The Participant's limit on Employee-Deferral
                          Contributions in the year immediately following
                          the year of the withdrawal shall be the limit
                          under Section 3.4 for that year, less the amount
                          of the Participant's Employee-Deferral
                          Contributions made in the year of the hardship
                          withdrawal.

               11.3  Loans to Participant.  A Participant who is an
          Employee may make a loan from the Plan, subject to the following
          rules and limitations:

                     (a)  The total amount of a Participant's loan when
                          added to the outstanding balance of all the
                          Participant's prior loans from the Plan during
                          the one year period ending the day before the
                          loan is made shall not exceed $50,000, nor shall
                          the total amount of the loan when added to the
                          outstanding balance of the Participant's loans
                          under the Plan exceed one-half the Participant's
                          Vested Interest under the Plan.  Amounts set
                          aside for an alternate payee shall not be
                          included.  The Plan Administrator can establish
<PAGE>
                          uniform nondiscriminatory policies further
                          limiting the amount or frequency of Employee
                          loans.

                     (b)  Each loan shall be deemed an investment of the
                          account of the Participant receiving the loan.
                          Loan disbursements shall be pro rated across all
                          funds.

                     (c)  Each loan shall bear a reasonable rate of
                          interest as determined by the Trustee.

                     (d)  A Participant can have no more than two (2) loans
                          outstanding at anytime if a Participant makes a
                          final payment on one of two outstanding loans, a
                          new loan can be obtained after a 30-day delay
                          following that final payment.

                     (e)  Each loan may not be less than $1,000.

                     (f)  The Plan Administrator shall provide each loan
                          applicant with a clear statement of the charges
                          with respect to each loan transaction.  Such
                          statement shall include the dollar amount and
                          annual interest rate or the finance charge.

                     (g)  The term of a loan shall be determined by the
                          Participant but shall not be less than 12 months
                          or exceed five years.

                     (h)  A loan made pursuant to this Article XI shall be
                          repaid in accordance with a schedule established
                          by the Committee which schedule shall call for
                          payments of interest and amortized payments of
                          principal over the term of the loan.

                     (i)  Each loan shall be evidenced by the Participant's
                          promissory note for the amount of the loan,
                          including interest, payable to the order of the
                          Trust, and each loan shall be secured by
                          collateral.  The collateral shall consist of the
                          assignment of the Participant's right, title and
                          interest in the Participant's Vested Interest in
                          the Trust.

                     (j)  During paid employment each loan shall be repaid
                          by withholding from the Participant's pay.  Upon
                          termination of employment, the Participant has 90
                          days to pay the loan in full.  If the Participant
                          terminates employment and receives an immediate
                          lump sum distribution, any promissory note held
                          by the Plan for his account shall be distributed
                          to him.  While on an unpaid leave, the
                          Participant shall pay to the Trustee all amounts
                          due on the repayment frequency on which the loan
                          is amortized.  Payments must be made by certified
                          or bank check.  Except as provided in this
                          Paragraph, the failure to make timely payment of
                          any one payment causes the full amount of the
<PAGE>
                          note to become due, and if permitted by law the
                          note shall be distributed to the Participant.

                     (k)  Repayments shall be credited to the Participant's
                          accounts out of which the loan was made, and
                          allocated among the Investment Funds pursuant to
                          the Participant's most recent allocation
                          election.

                     (f)  establishing procedures for withholding of

                          and decisions pertaining to the administration of
                          the Plan.

               12.4  Committee's Powers.  The Committee will have all
          powers and authority necessary or appropriate to carry out its
<PAGE>
          duties and responsibilities with respect to the operation and
          administration of the Plan.  It shall interpret and apply all
          provisions of the Plan and may supply any omission or reconcile
          any inconsistency or ambiguity in such manner as it deems
          advisable, including the adoption of interpretative memoranda.
          All determinations and any actions of the Committee will be
          conclusive and binding upon all persons, except as otherwise
          provided herein or by law; provided, however, that the Committee
          may revoke or modify a determination or action previously made in
          error.  The Committee shall exercise all powers and authority
          given to it in a nondiscriminatory manner, and will apply uniform
          administrative rules of general application in order to assure
          similar treatment to persons in similar circumstances.

               The Committee may delegate to any such agent or any sub-
          committee or member of the Committee its authority to perform any
          duty or responsibility specified in Section 12.3, including those
          matters involving the exercise of discretion, provided that such
          delegation shall be subject to revocation at any time at the
          discretion of the Committee.  Any member of the Committee, any
          sub-committee or agent to whom the Committee delegates any
          authority, and any other person or group of persons, may serve in
          more than one fiduciary capacity (including service as both
          Committee member and Trustee) with respect to the Plan.

               Any action or decision concurred in by a majority of the
          Committee members, either at a meeting or in writing without a
          meeting, will constitute an action or decision of the Committee.
          The Committee may adopt and amend such rules for the conduct of
          its business and administration of the Plan as it deems
          advisable.

               12.5  Chairman of the Committee.  The Committee shall elect
          any Committee member to serve as Chairman, and may remove him at
          any time.  The Chairman, or a majority of the Committee members
          then in office, will have the authority to execute all
          instruments or memoranda necessary or appropriate to carry out
          the actions and decisions of the Committee; and any person may
          rely upon any instrument or memoranda so executed as evidence of
          the Committee's action or decision indicated thereby.

               12.6  Claims Review Procedure.  If a Participant
          (Beneficiary or alternate payee) believes a benefit or
          distribution is due under the Plan, he may request the
          distribution of such benefit, in writing, on forms acceptable to
          the Committee.  At such time, the Participant (or Beneficiary)
          will be given the information and materials necessary to complete
          any request for the distribution of a benefit.

               If the request for distribution is disputed or denied, the
          following action shall be taken:

                     (a)  First, the Participant (or Beneficiary) will be
                          notified, in writing, of the dispute or denial as
                          soon as possible (but no later than 90 days)
                          after receipt of the request for a distribution.
                          The notice will set forth the specific reasons
                          for the denial, including any relevant provisions
                          of the Plan.  The notice will also explain the
<PAGE>
                          claims review procedure of the Plan.

                     (b)  Second, the Participant (or Beneficiary) shall be
                          entitled to a full review of his request for a
                          distribution.  A Participant (or Beneficiary)
                          desiring a review of the dispute or denial must
                          request such a review, in writing, no later than
                          60 days after notification of the dispute or
                          denial is received.  During the review, the
                          Participant (or Beneficiary) may be represented
                          and will have the right to inspect all documents
                          pertaining to the dispute or denial. Any such
                          review may include a hearing for the Participant
                          or his designated representative.

                     (c)  The Committee shall render its decision within 60
                          days after receipt of the request for the review.
                          In the event special circumstances require an
                          extension of time, the Committee shall notify the
                          Participant (or Beneficiary), and the decision
                          will be rendered no later than 120 days after the
                          receipt of the request.  The decision of the
                          Committee shall be in writing.  The decision
                          shall include specific reasons for the action
                          taken and specific references to the Plan
                          provisions on which the decision is based.

               12.7  Information from Participants, Beneficiaries and
          Alternate Payees.  Each Participant, Beneficiary and alternate
          payee shall be required to furnish to the Committee, in the form
          prescribed by it, such personal data, affidavits, authorization
          to obtain information, and other information as the Committee may
          deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan.

               12.8  Actions.  Any action taken by the Plan Administrator
          or Committee on matters within its discretion shall be final and
          binding on the parties and on all Participants, Beneficiaries or
          other persons claiming any right or benefit under the Plan, in
          the Trust, or in the administration of the Plan.

               All decisions of the Plan Administrator or Committee shall
          be uniform and made in a nondiscriminatory manner.

               12.9  Bond.  The Company shall purchase a bond for the Plan
          Administrator or Committee and any other fiduciaries of the Plan
          in accordance with the requirements of the Code and ERISA.

               12.10 Indemnification.  The Company shall defend and
          indemnify to the full extent permitted by law (including ERISA),
          which indemnification shall include, but not be limited to,
          attorney's fees and any tax imposed as a result of a claim
          asserted by any person, persons or entity (including a
          governmental entity), any individual serving as a member of the
          Committee made or threatened to be made a part to any action,
          suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or
          investigative, by reason of the fact that such individual is or
          was a member of the Committee.

                                AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

               13.1  Right to Amend or Suspend Contributions.  Subject to
          the provisions of Section 13.3, the Board of Directors reserves
          the right to amend the Plan or Trust or suspend contributions to
          the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason
          without the consent of any Participating Employer, Participant,
          Beneficiary, or alternate payee.  Each amendment of the Plan
          shall be in writing, executed by order of the Board of Directors
          and shall be effective on the date specified therein.  Notice of
          any amendment, modification or suspension of contributions to the
          Plan shall be given by the Board of Directors to the Committee,
          the Trustee, and to all Participating Employers.

               13.2  Amendment by Committee.  Notwithstanding Section 13.1
          the Committee may adopt any amendment which may be necessary or
          appropriate to facilitate the administration, management and
          interpretation of the Plan or to conform the Plan thereto, or to
          qualify or maintain the Plan and Trust as a plan and trust
          meeting the requirements of Sections 401(a), 501(a), 401(k) and
          401(m) of the Code or any other applicable section of law and the
          Regulations issued thereunder, provided said amendment does not
          have any material effect on the currently estimated cost to the
          Employer maintaining the Plan.  Such amendment shall be in
          writing, executed by a majority of the Committee members and
          shall be effective on the date specified therein.  Notice of any
          amendment by the Committee shall be given to the Board of
          Directors, the Trustee and to all Participating Employers within
          a reasonable time.

               13.3  Restriction on Amendment.  No amendment under Sections
          13.1 or 13.2 shall:

                     (a)  authorize or permit any part of the Plan assets
                          (other than such part as is required to pay
                          taxes, if any, and administrative expenses as
                          provided in Section 16.16) to be used for or
                          diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive
                          benefit of the Participants and that
                          Beneficiaries and alternate payees under the Plan
                          prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities of
                          the Plan; and

                     (b)  deprive a Participant of his nonforfeitable right
                          to benefits accrued as of the date of such
                          amendment.  If the vesting schedule of the Plan
                          is amended in such a way that an Employee might
                          in any Plan Year have less vesting credit under
                          the new schedule than under the schedule prior to
                          the amendment, each Employee with at least three
                          Years of Service may elect to have his
                          nonforfeitable percentage computed without regard
                          to such amendment.  The period during which such
                          election may be made shall commence with the date
                          the amendment is adopted and shall end on the
                          later of (i) sixty days after the amendment is
                          adopted, (ii) sixty days after the amendment
                          becomes effective, or (iii) sixty days after the
<PAGE>
                          Employee or Participant is provided with written
                          notice of the amendment.

               13.4  Retroactivity.  Any amendment or modification of any
          provisions of the Plan may be made retroactively if necessary or
          appropriate to qualify or maintain the Plan or the Trust as a
          plan and trust meeting the requirements of Section 401(a),
          501(a), 401(k), or 401(m) of the Code or any other applicable
          section of law (including ERISA) and the Regulations issued
          thereunder.

               13.5  Merger.  The Plan may be merged or consolidated with,
          or its assets and liabilities may be transferred to any other
          plan only if the benefits which would be received by a
          Participant in the event of a termination of the Plan immediately
          after such transfer, merger or consolidation are at least equal
          to the benefit such Participant would have received if the Plan
          had terminated immediately prior to the transfer, merger or
          consolidation.


                                     ARTICLE XIV
                               TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

               14.1  Events Constituting Termination.  It is expressly
          declared to be the desire and intention of each Participating
          Employer to continue the Plan in existence for an indefinite
          period of time.  However, circumstances not now anticipated or
          foreseeable may arise in the future, as a result of which a
          Participating Employer may deem it impractical or unwise to
          continue the Plan established hereunder, and each Participating
          Employer therefore reserves the right to terminate the Plan at
          any time insofar as it affects its Employees.  Any Participating
          Employer may terminate its participation in the Plan by action of
          its board of directors.  Such termination shall be evidenced by
          an instrument of termination executed by an officer of the
          Participating Employer pursuant to authorization by its board of
          directors and shall be delivered to the Board of Directors, the
          Committee and to each other Participating Employer.  To the
          maximum extent permitted by ERISA, the termination of the Plan as
          to any Participating Employer shall not in any way affect any
          other Participating Employer's participation in the Plan.

               With respect to any Participating Employer which has adopted
          the Plan, its adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency by any
          court of competent jurisdiction, its making of a general
          assignment for the benefit of creditors, its dissolution, merger,
          consolidation, other reorganization or discontinuance of
          business, unless coverage for its Employees under the Plan is
          continued by a successor company, or its complete discontinuance
          of contributions, shall operate to terminate the Plan with
          respect to such Participating Employer.

               The Committee may require any Participating Employer to
          withdraw from the Plan for failure of the Participating Employer
          to make proper contributions or to comply with any other
          provision of the Plan.

               14.2  Partial Termination.  Upon the withdrawal of one or
<PAGE>
          more Participating Employers or upon the termination of active
          participation of a group of Employees, the Committee shall
          determine, upon the advice of counsel to the Plan and under
          applicable law, whether a partial termination has occurred with
          respect to a group of Participants.

               14.3  Disposition of Accounts After a Termination.  Upon
          termination or partial termination of the Plan or upon complete
          discontinuance of contributions, the Accounts of all affected
          Participants shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable.  Upon
          the termination or partial termination or upon complete
          discontinuance of contributions, the Committee shall continue to
          administer the Plan, the Trustee shall continue to administer the
          Trust Fund, and all payments to Participants shall continue in
          accordance with the provisions of Article X; provided, however,
          that in the event of a partial termination the Committee may
          direct the Trustee to segregate the assets attributable to the
          Accounts of the affected Participants and apply such segregated
          assets for the benefit of such Participants.

               After a Plan termination, the assets of the Plan shall be
          distributed to the Participants (and others for whose benefits
          accounts are then maintained) at such time as the Committee
          determines.  No distribution shall be made of Employee-Deferral
          Account balances as a result of a termination of the Plan unless
          the Plan is terminated without the establishment or maintenance
          of another defined contribution plan, as provided in Code
          Sections 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(II) and 401(k)(10)(A)(i).

               Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, upon or after the
          termination of the Plan, the Board of Directors shall have the
          power to terminate the Trust.

               14.4  Internal Revenue Service Approval for Distribution.
          In the event that the Committee applies to the Internal Revenue
          Service for a determination that the termination of the Plan does
          not disqualify it, no person shall have any right or claim to any
          assets of the Trust Fund before the Internal Revenue Service
          shall determine that the Plan is qualified through the proposed
          distribution of assets under this Article XIV.


                                      ARTICLE XV
                            STAND-BY TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

               15.1  Top Heavy Plan.  The Plan will be considered a Top
          Heavy Plan for any Plan Year if it is determined to be a Top
          Heavy Plan as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year.
          Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan, the provisions
          of this Article XV shall apply and supersede all other provisions
          in the Plan with respect to a Plan Year for which the Plan is a
          Top Heavy Plan.

               15.2  Definitions.  For purposes of this Article XV and as
          otherwise used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the
          meanings set forth below:

                     (a)  "Aggregation Group" shall mean the group composed
                          of each qualified retirement plan of a
<PAGE>
                          Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company
                          in which a Key Employee is a Participant and each
                          other qualified retirement plan of a
                          Participating Employer or an Affiliated Company
                          which enables a plan of a Participating Employer
                          or an Affiliated Company in which a Key Employee
                          is a Participant to satisfy Sections 401(a)(4) or
                          410 of the Code.  In addition, the Company may
                          choose to treat any other qualified retirement
                          plan as a member of the Aggregation Group if such
                          Aggregation Group will continue to satisfy
                          Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code with such
                          plan being taken into account.

                     (b)  "Key Employee" shall mean a "Key Employee" as
                          defined in Section 416(i)(1) and (5) of the Code
                          or Regulations. For purposes of determining which
                          employee is a Key Employee, compensation shall
                          mean "compensation" as defined in Section 1.415-
                          2(d) of the Regulations but including employer
                          contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction
                          arrangement.

                     (c)  This Plan shall be a "Top Heavy Plan" for any
                          Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date (as
                          defined in paragraph (d) below), the aggregate of
                          the Accounts under the Plan for Participants who
                          are Key Employees (as defined in paragraph (b),
                          above) exceeds 60% of the aggregate of the
                          Accounts of all Participants or if this Plan is
                          required to be in an Aggregation Group (as
                          defined in paragraph (a), above) which for such
                          Plan Year is a top-heavy group.

                     (d)  "Determination Date" means for any Plan Year the
                          last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year.

               15.3  Vesting.  If the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan with respect
          to any Plan Year, the Vested Interest of each Participant who has
          performed one Hour of Service on or after the date the Plan
          becomes a Top Heavy Plan shall not be less than the percentage
          determined in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

                    ----------------------------------------
                    Years of Service         Vested Interest

                    Less than 2 years             0%
                    2 years but less than 3      20%
                    3 years but less than 4      40%
                    4 years but less than 5      60%
                    5 years but less than 6      80%
                    6 years or more             100%

                     The following additional rules shall apply:

                     (a)  The Top-Heavy vesting schedule set forth in this
                          Section shall apply to the entire balance of such
                          accounts, including benefits which accrued before
                          the Plan became Top-Heavy.

<PAGE>
                     (b)  In the event the Plan ceases to be Top-Heavy, the
                          vested and nonforfeitable percentage of each
                          Participant's Employer Contribution Account shall
                          not be reduced by a change in the Plan's vesting
                          schedule.

                     (c)  The Top-Heavy vesting schedule set forth above
                          shall not apply to the Employer Contribution
                          Account of any Participant who does not have an
                          Hour of Service after the Plan initially becomes
                          Top-Heavy.  The vested interest of such
                          Participant in his or her Employer Contribution
                          Account shall be determined without regard to
                          this Section.

                     (d)  If the Plan ceases to be Top-Heavy, the vesting
                          schedule set forth in this Section shall apply to
                          all Employer Contributions attributable to Plan
                          Years after the Plan ceases to be Top-Heavy.
                          Such change in the vesting schedule shall be
                          treated as an amendment and the provisions of
                          Section 13.3 shall apply.

               15.4  Minimum Contribution.  For each Plan Year that the
          Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, the Employer Contribution (including
          forfeitures but excluding rollovers pursuant to Section 3.8)
          allocable to the Accounts of each Participant who has performed
          an Hour of Service at the end of the Plan Year and who is not a
          Key Employee, shall not be less than the lesser of (i) 3% of such
          Participant's compensation, within the meaning of Section 415 of
          the Code, or (ii) the percentage at which contributions and
          forfeitures for such Plan Year are made and allocated on behalf
          of the Key Employee for whom such percentage is the highest.
          Such allocation shall be made for each Participant who is not a
          Key Employee and who is employed by the Employer through the last
          payroll period ending within the Plan Year.  For the purpose of
          determining the appropriate percentage under clause (i), all
          defined contribution plans required to be included in an
          Aggregation Group shall be treated as one plan.  Clause (ii)
          shall not be applicable if the Plan is required to be included in
          an Aggregation Group which enables a defined benefit plan also
          required to be included in said Aggregation Group to satisfy
          Sections 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.  Compensation, for
          purposes of determining a minimum contribution, is Section 415
          Compensation.

               15.5  Limitations on Contributions.  For each Plan Year that
          the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, 1.0 shall be substituted for 1.25
          as the multiplicand of the dollar limitation in determining the
          denominator of the defined benefit plan fraction and of the
          defined contribution plan fraction for purposes of Section 415(e)
          of the Code.  If, after substituting 90 percent for 60 percent
          wherever the latter appears in Section 416(g) of the Code, the
          Plan is not determined to be a Top Heavy Plan, the provisions of
          this Section 15.5 shall not be applicable if the minimum Employer
          Contribution (including forfeitures) allocable to the Accounts of
          any Participant who is not a Key Employee is determined by
          substituting "4" for "3".  If the Participant is a participant in
          both a defined contribution plan and a defined benefit plan, the
<PAGE>
          benefit from the defined contribution plan minimum shall be
          comparable to a 3% defined benefit plan benefit.

               15.6  Other Plans.  The Committee shall, to the extent
          permitted by the Code and in accordance with the Regulations,
          apply the provisions of this Article XV by taking into account
          the benefits payable and the contributions made under any other
          plans maintained by a Participating Employer or Affiliated
          Company which are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to
          prevent inappropriate omissions or required duplication of
          minimum benefits or contributions by making a comparability
          analysis to prove that the defined contribution plan is providing
          a benefit at least equal to the minimum benefit under the defined
          benefit plan.


                                     ARTICLE XVI
                                  GENERAL PROVISIONS

               16.1  Plan Voluntary.  Although it is intended that the Plan
          shall be continued indefinitely, this Plan is entirely voluntary
          on the part of the Participating Employers and the continuance of
          this Plan and the payment of contributions hereunder are not to
          be regarded as contractual obligations of the Participating
          Employers.  The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract
          between a Participating Employer and any Employee or to be a
          consideration for, or an inducement for, the employment of an
          Employee by an Employer.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall be
          deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the
          service of an Employer or to interfere with the right of an
          Employer to discharge or to terminate the service of any Employee
          at any time without regard to the effects such discharge or
          termination may have on any rights under the Plan.

               16.2  Payments to Minors and Incompetents.  If a
          Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee entitled to receive
          any benefits hereunder is a minor or is deemed by the Committee,
          or is adjudged, to be legally incapable of giving valid receipt
          and discharge for such benefits, such benefits will be paid to
          such person or institution as the Committee may designate or to
          the duly appointed guardian.  Such payment shall, to the extent
          made, be deemed a complete discharge of any liability for such
          payment under the Plan.

               16.3  Missing Payee.  The Committee shall retain the address
          of each Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee.  Any notice
          sent to the last address filed with the Plan Administrator or for
          the last address indicated on an Employer's records will be
          binding upon a Participant or Beneficiary.

               16.4  Required Information.  Each Participant shall file
          with the Committee such pertinent information concerning himself,
          his spouse and his Beneficiary as the Committee may specify, and
          no Participant, or Beneficiary, or other person shall have any
          rights or be entitled to any benefits under the Plan unless and
          until such information is filed by or with respect to him.

               16.5  Subject to Trust Agreement.  Any and all rights or
          benefits accruing to any persons under the Plan shall be subject
<PAGE>
          to the terms of the Trust Agreement.

               16.6  Communications to Committee.  All elections,
          designations, requests, notices, instructions, and other
          communications from an Employee, a Participant, Beneficiary, or
          alternate payee to the Committee required or permitted under the
          Plan (i) shall be in such form as is prescribed from time to time
          by the Committee, (ii) shall be mailed by first-class mail or
          delivered to such location as shall be specified by the
          Committee, and (iii) shall be deemed to have been given and
          delivered only upon actual receipt thereof by the Committee at
          such location.

               16.7  Communications from Employer or Committee.  All
          notices, statements, reports and other communications from an
          Employer or the Committee to any Employee, Participant,
          Beneficiary or alternate payee shall be deemed to have been duly
          given when delivered to, or when mailed by first-class mail,
          postage prepaid and addressed to, such Employee, Participant,
          Beneficiary or alternate payee at his address last appearing on
          the records of the Committee or Company, or when posted by the
          Company or the Committee as permitted by law.

               16.8  Action.  Except as may be specifically provided
          herein, any action required or permitted to be taken by an
          Employer may be taken on behalf of the Employer by any authorized
          officer of the Employer.

               16.9  Liability for Benefits.  Neither the Trustee, the
          Employers, the Committee nor the Plan Administrator guarantee the
          Trust from loss or depreciation, nor do they guarantee any
          payment to any person.  The liability of the Trustee, the
          Employers, the Committee and the Plan Administrator to make any
          payment is limited to the available assets of the Trust.

               16.10 Named Fiduciary.  The "named fiduciaries" of the Plan
          within the meaning of ERISA Section 403 shall be (a) the
          Employer, (b) the Plan Administrator, (c) the Trustee, and
          (d) the Committee.

               16.11 Gender.  Whenever used in the Plan the masculine
          gender includes the feminine.

               16.12 Captions.  The captions preceding the sections of the
          Plan have been inserted solely as a matter of convenience and in
          no way define or limit the scope or intent of any provisions of
          the Plan.

               16.13 Applicable Law.  The Plan and all rights thereunder
          shall be governed by and construed in accordance with ERISA and
          the laws of the State of Louisiana.

               16.14 Reversion of Employer Contributions.  In no event
          shall the assets of the Plan revert to the benefit of the
          Employer.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
          contrary, however, all contributions by Employers are conditioned
          upon the deductibility of such contribution under Code Section
          404.  To the extent that a deduction is disallowed for an
          Employer's contribution, the Trustee shall return the principal
<PAGE>
          amount of such contribution upon the demand of the Employee.  Any
          such demand shall be made within one year following the final
          determination of the disallowance.

               Further, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
          contrary, any contribution which is made by the Employer on
          account of a good faith mistake of fact may be returned to the
          Employer.  The Employer shall notify the Trustee, in writing, of
          such mistake within one year of the contribution.  The Trustee
          shall return the principal amount of the Employer Contribution as
          soon as possible, but in any event within 60 days after written
          notification by the Employer.

               The maximum amount that may be returned to an Employer in
          the case of a mistake of fact or the disallowance of a deduction
          is the excess of (a) the amount contributed, over, as relevant,
          (b)(i) the amount that would have been contributed had no mistake
          of fact occurred, or (ii) the amount that would have been
          contributed had the contribution been limited to the amount that
          is deductible after any disallowance by the Internal Revenue
          Service.  Earnings attributable to the excess contribution may
          not be returned to the Employer, but losses attributable thereto
          must reduce the amount to be so returned.  Furthermore, if the
          withdrawal of the amount attributable to the mistaken or
          nondeductible contribution would cause the balance of the
          individual account of any Participant to be reduced to less than
          the balance which would have been in the account had the mistaken
          or nondeductible amount not been contributed, then the amount to
          be returned to the Employer must be limited so as to avoid such
          reduction.

               16.15 Expenses.  All expenses of administration shall be
          paid from the Trust unless paid directly by the Employer.  The
          Employer may reimburse the Trust for any administrative expense
          paid by the Trust; such reimbursement shall not be treated as an
          Employer Contribution under the terms of the Plan.

               EXECUTED in multiple originals in New Orleans, Louisiana,
          effective as of the 20th day of September, 1996.

                                          TO
                              AVONDALE INDUSTRIES, INC.
                                 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN


               WHEREAS,  Avondale  Industries,  Inc.,  ("Employer")  is the
          sponsor of the Avondale Industries, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the
          "Plan") which was adopted effective January 1, 1996;

               WHEREAS, the Plan can be amended by the Employer.

               WHEREAS,  it  is desirable to amend the Plan as required  or
               allowed by the  Family  and  Medical  Leave Act of 1993, the
               Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of
               1994, and the Small Business Job Protection  Act of 1996; to
               clarify  the  employees who are eligible to participate;  to
               change "Year of  Service"  from an elapsed time method to an
               Hours of Service method; and to make further clarifications:

               NOW, THEREFORE, as authorized  by  Section 13.1, the Plan is
               hereby amended, effective as of the  date  executed,  unless
               stated otherwise, as follows:

                                          I.

               The  family aggregation rules under Code Sections 401(a)(17)
               and  414(q)(6)   are  hereby  deleted  for  all  Plan  Years
               beginning  after  1996.    This  applies  to  the  last  two
               sentences   of   the   last  paragraph   of   Section   1.9,
               Compensation,  and  the sixth  paragraph  of  Section  1.23,
               Highly Compensated Employee.   These  provisions continue to
               apply for Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1997.

                                         II.

               Article I, Section 1.9, Compensation is  amended,  effective
               January 1, 1996, to add the following paragraph at the  end,
               to read as follows:

                         The  Compensation of a Returning Veteran
                    for  a  prior   year   in   which   a  makeup
                    contribution  is required under the Uniformed
                    Services Employment  and  Reemployment Rights
                    Act  shall  be  (a)  the  pay  the  Returning
                    Veteran  would  have received if not  in  the
                    Uniformed Services  (including wage increases
                    and bonuses) or (b) if  it is not "reasonably
                    certain"  what  the  pay  rate   during   the
                    Uniformed   Services  would  have  been,  the
                    Returning Veteran's  average  earnings during
                    the  twelve  months  (or  shorter period,  if
                    applicable)  prior  to  the  Service  in  the
                    Uniformed Services.

                                         III.

               Article I, Section 1.9(b) is amended,  effective  January 1,
          1997, to add the following sentence at the end:

                         Beginning   in   Plan   Year  1997,  the
                    reference   to  an  Employee's  Section   415
                    Compensation  includes any amount an Employee
                    contributes to a qualified plan under Section
                    401(k) or Section 125 of the Code.

                                         IV.

               Article I, Section 1.12  is  amended and restated to read as
          follows:

                         1.12 An Eligible Employee shall mean any
                    Employee   of   a   Participating   Employer;
                    provided, however, that  an Eligible Employee
                    shall not include:  (a) any  Employee  who is
                    included in a unit of employees covered  by a
                    negotiated  collective  bargaining  agreement
                    which  does not provide for his participation
                    in  this   Plan;   (b) any  Employee  who  is
                    providing services pursuant  to  an  oral  or
                    written  contract or leasing arrangement with
                    an unrelated employer, including any Employee
                    who under a Participating Employer's standard
                    personnel     practices,    is    deemed    a
                    subcontractor or  a  leased employee; (c) any
                    Employee who is a Leased  Employee;  (d)  any
                    Employee    who,    under   a   Participating
                    Employer's standard personnel  practices,  is
                    deemed  an  independent  contractor  (without
                    regard  to  such  person's status for Federal
                    income tax purposes and without regard to any

                    the Employee for periods  of  Service  in the
                    Uniformed Services (as required by applicable
                    law).

               Article I is amended to add Section 1.24A, to  read  in  its
          entirety as follows:

                         1.24A  A  Leased Employee shall mean any
                    person (excluding  a  person  who is a common
                    law employee of the Participating Employer or
                    Non-Participating Employer) who,  pursuant to
                    an agreement between a Participating Employer
                    (or  an  Affiliated  Company)  and any  other
                    person ("leasing organization") has performed
                    services  for the Participating Employer  (or
                    an Affiliated  Company)  and  related persons
                    determined   in   accordance   with   Section
                    414(n)(6)  of  the  Code, on a "substantially
                    full-time basis" for a period of at least one
                    year and:  for Plan Years  after  1996,  such
                    services  are  performed  under  the  primary
                    direction   or  control  of  a  Participating
                    Employer (or  an  Affiliated  Employer);  for
<PAGE>
                    Plan  Years  prior to 1997, such services are
                    of the type historically  performed,  in  the
                    business  field of the Participating Employer
                    (or an Affiliated Employer) by employees.

                         A person is considered to have performed
                    services on a "substantially full-time basis"
                    for  a  period  of  at  least  one  year  if:
                    (a) during  any  consecutive  12-month period
                    such  person  has  performed  at least  1,500
                    Hours   of   Service  for  the  Employer   or
                    (b) during any  consecutive  12-month  period
                    such   person   performed  services  for  the
                    Employer for a number  of Hours of Service at
                    least equal to 75% of the  average  number of
                    hours  that are customarily performed  by  an
                    employee  of  the  Employer in the particular
                    position.

                         Such  a  person will  not  be  a  Leased
                    Employee if the  person  (a)  is covered by a
                    money purchase pension plan providing  (i)  a
                    nonintegrated  employer  contribution rate of
                    at least 10% of such person's W-2 wages, (ii)
                    immediate participation, and  (iii)  full and
                    immediate  vesting,  and  (b)  provided,  the
                    Leased Employee, determined without regard to
                    whether  such  person is a participant in the
                    above described  money  purchase plan, do not
                    constitute  more  than  20  percent   of  the
                    recipient's nonhighly compensated workforce.

                         In  the  event  that any Leased Employee
                    subsequently  becomes an  Eligible  Employee,
                    then unless the Plan is otherwise excluded by
                    applicable  Treasury   Regulations  from  the
                    requirements  of  Code  Section  414(n),  the
                    total period that such former Leased Employee
                    provided   services   to  the   Participating
                    Employer shall be treated under the Plan, for
                    participation   eligibility    and    vesting
                    purposes as though he had been an Employee of
                    the    Participating    Employer    or   Non-
                    Participating Employer.

                                         XI.

               Article I, Section 1.29, One Year Break in  Service or Break
          in Service, is amended, effective with respect to  each  Employee
          as of his first Employment Year beginning on or after January  1,
          1997, to read as follows:

                         One  Year  Break  in Service or Break in
                    Service  shall  mean  an Employment  Year  in
                    which a Participant has  500 or less Hours of
                    Service.

                    requirements  set  forth in Article  II,  and
                    (b) any former Employee  on  whose  behalf an
                    Account  continues  to  be maintained in  the
                    Plan  pursuant to Article  II.   An  Eligible
                    Employee  remains a Participant as long as he
                    has  an  Account   balance,  as  provided  in
                    Section 2.2.

                         In the event the  Plan fails to pass the
                    coverage requirements of  Section  410(b)  of
                    the  Code  for a Plan Year, certain Employees
                    will be given "Eligible Employee" status in a
                    number  necessary  to  satisfy  the  coverage
                    requirements  of  Section 410(b) of the Code.
                    "Eligible Employee"  status  will be given to
                    certain  Employees beginning first  with  the
                    Employee   who   has   both   satisfied   the
                    participation  requirements of Article II and
                    has the most recent  original employment date
                    and   continuing   in   descending   original
                    employment   date   order,  to   the   extent
                    necessary for the Plan  to  pass the coverage
                    requirements of Section 410(b)  of  the Code.
                    If  two or more Employees have satisfied  the
                    participation  requirements of Article II and
                    have  the  same  original   employment  date,
                    Employees  will be given "Eligible  Employee"
                    status determined  in  alphabetical  order of
                    the  Employees' last names until the coverage
                    requirements  are  met.   Coverage under this
                    paragraph  only  applies  to  the   year   in
                    question.

                    Company  of  his  impending  service  in  the
                    Uniformed Services, (unless such  notice  was
                    precluded   by   military  necessity  or  was
                    otherwise impossible  or  unreasonable),  and
                    the  cumulative  length  of  absence from the

                         10.1  Time  of  Payment.   A Participant

                    of his Vested Interest when he has terminated
                    employment.

                    Such  a  Participant  shall  be  entitled  to
                    receive his  Vested Interest at any time that
                    he elects, provided  that  payment  cannot be

                    his  date  of  termination of employment.   A
                    distribution is  based  upon the value of the

                    The foregoing notwithstanding:

                    a.   If  the value of a Participant's  Vested
                         Interest is less than $3,500, the Vested
                         Interest  will be distributed as soon as

                    b.   If  the value of a Participant's  Vested
                         Interest  is  greater  than  $3,500, the
                         Participant    must   consent   to   the
                         distribution;

                    c.   A Participant's Vested Interest shall be
                         distributed    no   later    than    the
                         Participant's Required Beginning Date.

                    In no event shall a distribution  occur while
                    a  participant  remains in the employ  of  an
                    Employer, except in the event of a withdrawal

                    11.2, below.

                    "alternate  payee"  pursuant  to a "qualified
                    domestic  relations  order"  are  stated   in
                    Section 9.4 herein.

                                         31.

               Article XI, Section 11.3, Loans to Participants, is amended,
          effective January 1, 1996, to add a new paragraph (l)  to read as

                         Participant   will  not  be  taken  into
                         account for purposes  of  Code  sections
                         taxing unpaid loans for any part  of any
                         period during which such Participant  is
                         in   the   Service   in   the  Uniformed
                         Services,  will  not  be  considered  in
                         testing for discriminatory  benefits  or
                         treated  as  a  "prohibited transaction"
                         between the Plan and Participant.

     WHEREAS, the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command ("NAVSEA", the "Government") 
has issued Solicitation No. N00024-96-R-2101 (the RFP) for the design and 
construction of up to three (3) vessels of the LPD-17 Class (the "Project"); and

     WHEREAS, Avondale and BIW, in view of their complimentary capabilities have
determined that they would mutually benefit from the teaming of their respective
organizations to develop and to submit to NAVSEA a proposal in response to the
RFP (the "Proposal") in accordance with the existing Teaming Agreement dated May
23, 1996 between the parties; and if the Proposal results in a contract award
(the "Contract" or "Prime Contract"), to perform the services and work, and to

     WHEREAS, Avondale has entered into a similar subcontract with the other 
principal subcontractor, Hughes Aircraft Company ("Hughes") for enhancing the 
respective capabilities of all the parties for a successful Proposal; and 

     WHEREAS, an objective of the Alliance is the cooperative performance and 
completion of the Project for the Government and thereby earning and sharing the
highest possible award fees and incentives;

     THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and the expectation that 
NAVSEA will award the Contract to Avondale, the parties hereto agree to this 
Subcontract.


SECTION A SPECIAL PROVISIONS

A-1.  AUTHORITY

The existence of this Subcontract is contingent upon the precedent condition of

    Sections B through J, the terms "Contracting Officer", "Contracting
    Officer's Representative", "the Government", "the Navy", "NAVSEA",
    "Contracting Administration Office", and the like shall mean the Prime
    Contractor unless in such context the terms can only refer to the
    Government. The incorporated terms "Contractor" or "Offeror" shall mean
    Subcontractor unless in such context the term can only refer to the Prime
    Contractor. Instructions or requirements for documentation, certification or
    other writing reasonably applicable to the Subcontractor, shall be submitted
    by the Subcontractor to the Prime Contractor, unless otherwise required by
    federal law or by express provision of the Subcontract.

5.4 With respect to the clause of this Subcontract entitled DFAR 252.227-7030
    "Technical Data--Withholding of Payment" the parties agree that the
    following limitations will apply if an action is taken hereunder, and the
    Government has not taken an associated action under the Prime Contract.

    i) If Avondale suffers delay in actual ship construction as a result of 
BIW's failure to deliver technical data in accordance with its Subcontract 
obligations; and

    ii) If Avondale is able to demonstrate harm and provide the specifics of the
delay and the technical data giving rise to the action; and

    iii) If BIW's failure is the result of some action or inaction of BIW and 
not the result of performance of Avondale or one of its subcontractors; and

    iv) If prior to exercising any of its rights pursuant to this clause 
Avondale shall notify the Subcontractor by written notice to the contact point 
listed in Section G of this subcontract via certified mail. Such notice shall 
specify the failure (including identification of the technical data) giving rise
to the intended action. Subcontractor shall be afforded a period of not less 
than 10 days from Subcontractor's receipt of the notice to cure the failure 
before Avondale shall implement any withholding of funds pursuant thereto.

In the event the conditions specified above exist, then Avondale may exercise 
its rights hereunder, however, the amount to be withheld shall not exceed 
$500,000 in aggregate for all occurrences.

A-6.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING

6.1 This Subcontract may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either
    party, in whole or in part, without the express, prior written consent of
    the other party, which

                     BATH IRON WORKS COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
    consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The foregoing shall not apply in
    the event either party shall change its corporate name or merge with another
    corporation.

6.2 Subject to any approval of the Prime Contractor with respect to Engineering
    Services or Structural Unit Fabrication, and any relevant provisions
    contained herein, including without limitation any required approvals of the
    Government, Subcontractor shall be entitled to subcontract any portion of
    its responsibilities under the SOW. Subcontractor shall not by reason of any
    such subcontract be relieved of its responsibilities and liabilities under
    this Subcontract. In the event of such subcontract, Subcontractor shall
    without delay notify Avondale in writing of the name of its proposed
    subcontractor and the details of the portion of its SOW to be subcontracted.

A-7.  DISPUTES

7.1 If during performance of the Subcontract, disputes arise between the Prime
    Contractor and/or the Subcontractor and the Government concerning any of the
    work, the parties agree to follow the disputes resolution procedure defined
    in FAR clause 52.233-1 (Reference Clause). Either party may assert a claim
    arising out of such a dispute with the Government.

7.2 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if a decision on any
    question arising under the Contract is made by the Contracting Officer and
    such question is also related to this Subcontract, said decision, if binding
    upon Avondale under the Contract, shall in turn be binding upon the
    Subcontractor insofar as it relates to this Subcontract. If Avondale elects
    not to appeal such a decision pursuant to the "Disputes" clause in the
    Contract, Avondale may permit (and such permission will not be unreasonably
    withheld) the Subcontractor to assert in Avondale's name at Subcontractor's
    expense, Avondale's right to appeal such a decision under the "Disputes"
    clause in the Contract. Any decision upon such an appeal if binding upon

                     BATH IRON WORKS COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
    Avondale under the Contract shall in turn be binding upon Subcontractor
    insofar as it relates to this Subcontract. The decision of the Contracting
    Officer regarding any such question or subsequent appeal shall be conclusive
    between Avondale and Subcontractor except that Avondale may permit (and such
    permission will not be unreasonably withheld) Subcontractor to submit the
    question to a court of competent jurisdiction if Subcontractor desires to
    assert in Avondale's name and at Subcontractor's expense, Avondale's rights
    described in the "Disputes" clause of the Contract to have the question
    decided by the courts, and any final judgment by the courts, if binding upon
    Avondale under the Contract, shall in turn be binding upon Subcontractor
    insofar as it relates to this Subcontract.

7.3 It is the intent of the parties to engage in cooperative decision-making
    and communication of information as set forth in this Subcontract. In the
    event that a dispute arises between Avondale and BIW that cannot be resolved
    by the individuals involved in the performance of the Contract, such matter
    shall be referred to the highest levels of management of each company for
    resolution. Should these individuals be unable to resolve any claim,
    controversy or dispute between the parties involving issues of either law or
    fact arising under or relating to this Subcontract, it shall be finally
    resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to this provision.

7.4 Any arbitration contemplated by this Subcontract shall be conducted in New
    York, New York in accordance with the Rules (the "Rules") of the American
    Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). The arbitration will be before a panel
    of three arbitrators, one selected by Avondale, one selected by BIW, and one
    who will be selected by the aforementioned selected arbitrators. Each
    arbitrator shall be knowledgeable about the United States shipbuilding
    industry and federal procurement laws, regulations and practices, and shall
    not have any direct or indirect, past, present, or expected future
    association with either or both of the parties, and who shall otherwise be

                                       7

    neutral. The parties shall share equally the costs of the arbitration as 
    provided in the Rules of the AAA.

7.5 The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered in writing and the reasons
    shall be given therefore. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and
    conclusive on the parties, unless determined by the United States District
    Court for the Southern District of New York to be subject to being vacated,
    modified, or corrected on any of the grounds specified or referred to in the
    Uniform Arbitration Act, or for "manifest disregard of law" as judicially
    defined by that court. Judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrators
    may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Except as
    specifically provided for in this clause, or as may be necessary to enforce
    an award of the arbitrators, neither party shall institute any action or
    proceeding against the other in any court with respect to any claim,
    controversy, or dispute which is or could be subject to this provision.
    Neither party may interpose any objection to the procedures set forth herein
    or otherwise seek directly or indirectly to challenge the application
    thereof to any such claim, controversy or dispute, or any decision
    thereunder, in any court.

7.6 Pending the final disposition of any arbitration proceeding initiated
    pursuant to this provision, the parties shall at all times proceed
    diligently with the performance of this Subcontract.

A-8.  AMENDMENT/WAIVER

This Subcontract shall not be amended or modified unless set forth in a document
executed by duly authorized representatives of both Avondale and the 
Subcontractor. The failure of either party to exercise any right provided under 
this Subcontract shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right for any future
purpose.

respect to the Project exclusive of any non-disclosure agreements between the
parties.

9.2   If any part, term, or provision of this Subcontract shall be held void, 
illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with any law of a federal, state or local
government having jurisdiction over this Subcontract, the validity of the 
remaining portions or provisions shall not be affected thereby.

9.3   Section headings in this Subcontract are for convenience only and shall

15.1  Interim Payments: BIW will submit invoices to Avondale as work progresses,
      but not more frequently than once every two weeks, in amounts determined
      to be allowable in accordance with Subpart 31.2 of the Federal
      Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Avondale will include BIW's invoice in it's
      next bill to the NAVSEA and funds will be provided to BIW accordingly.

      Invoices will be prepared on a per vessel basis and shall reflect the
      total allowable costs in the performance of work, as certified by BIW. For
      purposes of this clause, the term "costs" shall include those items listed
      in FAR 52.216-7(b). No payment, however, shall be made in an amount that,
      when added to the total of all payments previously made, exceeds one
      hundred percent (100%) of the cumulative allowable costs certified by BIW.
      

      Each invoice submitted by BIW shall include the following information:
        (1) Applicable contract line item numbers (CLIN's)
        (2) Date supplies provided or services performed
        (3) Costs incurred and allowable by CLIN, as follows:
                (a) Cumulative allowable costs incurred (by cost element), less
                (b) Previously billed allowable costs, giving
                (c) Current billing amount
        (4) An estimate at completion (EAC) by CLIN


      In addition, BIW will provide, with each invoice, a certificate, signed by
      a Company Officer or his designee, verifying, to the best of his knowledge
      and belief, the allowability of all billed costs, consistent with FAR
      Subpart 31.2. BIW will provide Avondale with a listing of those employees
      authorized to sign the certificate that accompanies each invoice. The
      certificate will not apply to the CLIN EAC provided with the invoice.

                                      11
 
<PAGE>
 
      Prior to submitting the first invoice, BIW shall submit a sample billing 
      format and sample certificate for review and approval by Avondale.

      Avondale and BIW agree that invoice submission and/or payment may take
      place electronically. The parties agree to work together to determine the
      appropriate means of providing supporting documentation in the event of
      such electronic transmissions and/or payments.

15.2  Final Payment: Upon completion of the guarantee period of the final ship
      in the contract, BIW will prepare a final invoice by CLIN that
      incorporates 1) all allowable costs incurred plus 2) an estimate of
      projected allowable costs to complete the contract close-out process. Such
      allowable costs shall incorporate indirect costing rates approved by the
      Administrative Contracting Officer in connection with BIW's prime
      contracts with the Government. Any projected allowable costs shall be
      subject to the prior agreement of the Government and approval by Avondale,
      which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

15.3  Potential Alternative Approach to Payments: Avondale has stated an intent,
      which BIW supports, to approach the Government after Contract award to
      establish an alternative approach to payments. Under such an alternative
      approach, Avondale, with data provided by BIW (and Hughes), would prepare
      a "combined invoice," which clearly reflects the allowable costs incurred
      by each Alliance member. NAVSEA then would distribute funds directly to
      the each party in the amounts specified in the combined invoice. Should
      NAVSEA accept this concept in a manner also mutually acceptable to BIW,
      Avondale, and Hughes, BIW and Avondale agree to modify Special Provision
      A15 to incorporate such an approach.

A-16.  DISTRIBUTION OF AWARD FEE
16.1  The award fee, as paid by the Government to the Alliance, shall be
      distributed among Avondale, Hughes, and BIW, on the basis of a) earned
      value and b)


                     BATH IRON WORKS COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL

                                      12

<PAGE>
 
      performance, as described below.  A sample calculation of the formula is 
      attached as Table 16-1.


a)    Earned Value:

      Seventy (70) percent of the cumulative award fee payment by the Government
      shall be assigned to the Earned Value Pool. The portion of this pool then
      distributed to each of Avondale, Hughes, and BIW shall be based on the
      Cumulative Earned Value Weighting of each team member. The Cumulative
      Earned Value Weighting for each team member shall equal the Cumulative
      Earned Value for that team member divided by the sum of Cumulative Earned
      Values for all team members. The Cumulative Earned Value for each team
      member shall equal the product of 1) the Baseline Value Weighting and 2)
      the Cumulative Percent Complete.
        

                
                .   The Baseline Value Weighting for each team member shall
                    equal to the contractual cost baseline (original contract
                    award plus signed contract modifications) of that team
                    member divided by the total contractual cost baseline for
                    all team members.

                .   The Cumulative Percent Complete for each team member shall
                    equal the weighted progress (reflecting labor, overhead,
                    facilities cost of capital, and material) at the end of the
                    evaluation period. Such weighted progress for each team
                    member shall be determined by an earned value system,
                    approved by the Government in accordance with Department of
                    Defense Instruction (DODI) 5000.2.

      The current amount of the Earned Value award fee component assigned to
      each team member shall equal the Cumulative Earned Value Weighting
      multiplied by the Cumulative Earned Value Pool (70 percent of the
      cumulative award fee paid by the Government) less the prior period
      cumulative Earned Value.

<PAGE>
 
b)    Performance:

      Thirty (30) percent of the award fee paid by the Government in each period
      shall be assigned to the Performance Pool. The portion of this pool then
      distributed to teach of Avondale, Hughes, and BIW shall be determined by
      normalizing the Weighted Performance Score of each team member. The
      Weighted Performance Score for each team member shall equal the product of
      1) the Baseline Value Weighting (as defined above) and 2) the Normalized
      Performance Score. The Performance Award Fee for each team member shall
      equal the product of 1) Weighted Performance Scores of each team member
      and 2) the current period performance pool. The Normalized Performance
      Score for each team member shall reflect the Performance Scores provided
      by the intra-team Performance Evaluation Board (PEB).

16.2  The intra-team PEB shall consist of the Chief Executive Officers from each
      of Avondale, Hughes, and BIW. The PEB will meet within three business days
      after each Navy award fee session. At the PEB meeting, each CEO will
      provide a performance score (from 0 to 100) to each member of the
      Alliance. Such scoring shall reflect, in the judgment of each CEO, the
      performance of each team member during the evaluation period. For each
      evaluation period, the Performance Score shall equal the simple average of
      the scores given by members of the PEB. Weighted criteria that each CEO
      will use to determine such scoring will be established within 30 days
      after the start of the evaluation period via Memorandum of Agreement.

16.3  For each team member, the total award fee payment in any given
      evaluation period shall equal the sum of the Earned Value and Performance
      components, as calculated above.

16.4  The attached example (Table 16-1) illustrates the calculation described in
      this clause. In the event of a conflict between the example and the text
      of this clause the example shall take precedence.

16.5  Within five business days after each PEB meeting, Avondale shall issue to
      each of the other team members a contract modification that specifies the
      current amount payable, as calculated above. Avondale will then issue
      payment to each team member within two business days after receipt of the
      funds from the customer.

16.6  The Final Contract Performance Incentive paid by the Government to the
      Prime Contractor shall be distributed between Avondale, Bath, and Hughes
      as the final percentage determined for the Distribution of Award Fee of
      Article 16 of this Subcontract.

facilities shall be equivalent to those provided for its own employees for 
similar purposes.  These facilities shall include telephone, photocopy machines 
and FAX machine access, and the use of other similar office equipment.  Each 
shall also provide vehicle parking facilities consistent with the facilities 
provided for its own employees for similar purposes.


A-18.  APPLICABLE LAW

Irrespective of the place of performance, this Subcontract shall be construed
and interpreted according to the federal common law of government contracts. To
the extent that the federal common law of government contracts is not
dispositive, the laws of the State of New York shall apply. Any civil action
pursuant to this Subcontract shall be brought in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York.

                                      and

                              HUGHES AIRCRAFT CO


                                   PREAMBLE


   This Subcontract ("Subcontract") is made and entered into by and between 
AVONDALE INDUSTRIES INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Louisiana ("Avondale" or "Prime Contractor") and HUGHES AIRCRAFT 
CO, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
("Hughes" or "Subcontractor").

   WHEREAS, the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command ("NAVSEA", the "Government") has 
issued Solicitation No. N00024-96-R-2101 (the RFP) for the design and 
construction of up to three (3) vessels of the LPD-17 Class (the "Project"); and

   WHEREAS, Avondale and Hughes, in view of their complimentary capabilities 
have determined that they would mutually benefit from the teaming of their 
respective organizations to develop and to submit to NAVSEA a proposal in
response to the RFP (the "Proposal") in accordance with the existing Teaming 
Agreement 29, March, 1996 between the parties; and if the Proposal results in a 
contract award (the "Contract" or "Prime Contract"), to perform the services and
work, and to provide the supplies required under the Contract, with Avondale 
acting as the prime contractor and Hughes participating as one of two principal 
subcontractors; and,

   WHEREAS, Avondale has entered into a similar subcontract with the other 
principal subcontractor, Bath Iron Works (Bath) for enhancing the respective 
capabilities of all the


                                       1
<PAGE>
 
parties for a successful Proposal; and

   WHEREAS, an objective of the Alliance is the cooperative performance and 
completion of the Project for the Government and thereby earning and sharing the
highest possible award fees and incentives;

   THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and the expectation that NAVSEA 
will award the Contract to Avondale, the parties hereto agree to this 
Subcontract.

SECTION A SPECIAL PROVISIONS

A-1.  AUTHORITY

The existence of this Subcontract is contingent upon the precedent condition of 
successful negotiations between NAVSEA and Avondale for the award of the Prime 
Contract to Avondale.  This Subcontract shall have no force or effect unless and
until Avondale and NAVSEA have executed the Prime Contract.

A-2  RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

2.1  Pursuant to their Statements of Work (SOW), for the purposes of this
     Subcontract, the term "Alliance" shall mean the Avondale/Bath/Hughes
     cooperative joint work effort.

2.2  Subcontractor obligations stated in this Subcontract shall be read,
     interpreted and understood, to mean the required performance of the
     incremental obligations of the Subcontractor pursuant to its Statement of
     Work, which performance is sufficient for acceptance by the Government
     pursuant to the Prime Contract.

2.3  Avondale, as the Prime Contractor, is the principal interface with the
     Government for the Alliance. Any communications of a contractual nature
     initiated by the Subcontractor with the Government regarding the Project,
     whether written or oral,

                                       2


<PAGE>

     shall be communicated and coordinated in advance with Avondale. In the
     event that the Government initiates such communication with the
     Subcontractor regarding the Project, Subcontractor will promptly notify
     Avondale of the event and the contents of the communications.

2.4  Members of the Alliance accept and endorse the relationship of teaming and
     cooperation established between them by this Subcontract. The Alliance
     members agree to cooperate and further their mutual interests in completing
     the Prime Contract. Hughes will make all reasonable, cooperative efforts to
     exchange technical information with other Avondale subcontractors to
     facilitate performance of the work.

A-3.  DELIVERY

Except as specifically indicated otherwise in this Subcontract, and except for 
the construction, test and delivery of the third vessel at the Alliance member's
Bath, Maine shipyard, all deliverables shall be delivered to Avondale's main 
shipyard.

A-4.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, CERTIFICATIONS AND APPROVALS

Except as otherwise provided in this Subcontract, each party shall be 
responsible for obtaining any required certifications and approvals with respect
to such party's Statement of Work from the relevant classification societies or
regulatory bodies having jurisdiction.  Each party, for their part, will be 
responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and 
classification society rules and regulations in the performance of the work.

A-5.  PRIME CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

5.1  Particular provisions of the Prime Contract have been incorporated (either
     in full text or by reference) into this Subcontract. For purposes of
     Sections B through J, the terms "Contracting Officer", "Contracting
     Officer's Representative", "the Government", "the Navy", "NAVSEA",
     "Contracting Administration Office", and

                                       3

<PAGE>
 
     the like shall mean the Prime Contractor unless in such context the term
     can only refer to the Government. The incorporated terms "Contractor" or
     "Offeror" shall mean Subcontractor unless in such context the term can only
     refer to the Prime Contractor. Instructions or requirements for
     documentation, certification or other writing reasonably applicable to the
     Subcontractor, shall be submitted by the Subcontractor to the Prime
     Contractor, unless otherwise required by federal law or by express
     provision of the Subcontract.

5.2  Any and all clauses or provisions which are required by the Federal
     Acquisition Regulation, 48 C.F.R. Part 1 (FAR), the Department of Defense
     FAR Supplement ("DFARS"), and the Navy FAR Supplement to be included in 
     major subcontracts in the Prime Contract are hereby incorporated in this
     Subcontract by reference.

5.3  Notwithstanding any provision of this Subcontract to the contrary, the
     Prime Contractor may exercise its rights under the following clauses or
     subclauses only if the Government exercises its rights under these clauses
     with respect to the Prime Contractor:

FAR 52.249-1            TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT (FIXED-
                        PRICE)(SHORT FORM)(APR 1984) (Applies if this contract 
                        is $100,000 or less)
FAR 52.249-2            TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT (FIXED
                        PRICE)(APR 1984) (Applies if this Contract exceeds 
                        $100,000)
Paragraph (a)(1) of     
FAR 52.249-6            TERMINATION (COST-REIMBURSEMENT) (MAY 1986)

                        as provided in paragraph 5.4 below

5.4  With respect to the clause of this Subcontract entitled DFAR 252.227-7030
     "Technical Data - Withholding of Payment" the parties agree that the 
     following limitations will apply if an action is taken hereunder, and the
     Government has not taken an associated action under the Prime Contract.


                                       4
<PAGE>
 
        i)    If Avondale suffers delay in actual ship construction as a result
     of Hughes' failure to deliver technical data in accordance with its
     Subcontract obligations; and
        ii)   If Avondale is able to demonstrate harm and provide the specifics
     of the delay and the technical data giving rise to the action; and
        iii)  Hughes' failure is the result of some action or inaction of Hughes
     and not the result of performance of Avondale or one of its 
     subcontractors; and
        iv)   If prior to exercising any of its rights pursuant to this clause
     Avondale shall notify the Subcontractor by written notice to the contract
     point listed in Section G of this Subcontract via certified mail. Such
     notice shall specify the failure (including identification of the technical
     data) giving rise to the intended action. Subcontractor shall be afforded a
     period of not less than 10 days from Subcontractor's receipt of the notice
     to cure the failure before Avondale shall implement any withholding of
     funds pursuant thereto.

     In the event the conditions specified above exist, then Avondale may
     exercise its rights hereunder, however, the amount to be withheld shall not
     exceed $500,000 in aggregate for all occurrences.

A-6.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING

6.1  This Subcontract may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either
     party, in whole or in part, without the express, prior written consent of
     the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
     foregoing shall not apply in the event either party shall change its
     corporate name or merge with another corporation.

6.2  Subject to any approval of the Prime Contractor, and any relevant
     provisions contained herein, including without limitation any required
     approvals of the Government, Subcontractor shall be entitled to subcontract
     any portion of its responsibilities under the SOW. Subcontractor shall not
     by reason of any such subcontract be relieved of its responsibilities and
     liabilities under this Subcontract.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
     In the event of such subcontract, Subcontractor shall without delay notify
     Avondale in writing of the name of its proposed subcontractor and the
     details of the portion of its SOW to be subcontracted.

A-7.  DISPUTES

7.1  If during performance of this Subcontract, disputes arise between the Prime
     Contractor and/or the Subcontractor and the Government concerning any of
     the work, the parties agree to follow the disputes resolution procedure
     defined FAR clause 52.233-1 (Reference Clause). Either party may assert a
     claim arising out of such a dispute with the Government.

7.2  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if a decision on any
     question arising under the Contract is made by the Contracting Officer and
     such question is also related to this Subcontract, said decision, if
     binding upon Avondale under the Contract, shall in turn be binding upon the
     Subcontractor insofar as it relates to this Subcontract. If Avondale elects
     not to appeal such a decision pursuant to the "Disputes" clause in the
     Contract, Avondale may permit (and such permission will not be unreasonably
     withheld) the Subcontractor to assert in Avondale's name at Subcontractor's
     expense, Avondale's right to appeal such a decision under the "Disputes"
     clause in the Contract. Any decision upon such an appeal if binding upon
     Avondale under the Contract shall in turn be binding upon Subcontractor
     insofar as it relates to this Subcontract. The decision of the Contracting
     Officer regarding any such question or subsequent appeal shall be
     conclusive between Avondale and Subcontractor except that Avondale may
     permit (and such permission will not be unreasonably withheld)
     Subcontractor to submit the question to a court of competent jurisdiction
     if Subcontractor desires to assert in Avondale's name and at
     Subcontractor's expense, Avondale's rights described in the "Disputes"
     clause of the Contract to have the question decided by the courts, and any
     final judgment by the courts, if binding upon Avondale under the Contract,
     shall in turn be binding upon Subcontractor insofar as it relates to this
     Subcontract.

                                       6

<PAGE>
 
7.3  It is the intent of the parties to engage in cooperative decision-making
     and communication of information as set forth in this Subcontract. In the
     event that a dispute arises between Avondale and Hughes that cannot be
     resolved by the individuals involved in the performance of the Contract,
     such matter shall be referred to the highest levels of management of each
     company for resolution. Should these individuals be unable to resolve any
     claim, controversy or dispute between the parties involving issues of
     either law or fact arising under or relating to this Subcontract, it shall
     be finally resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to this provision.

7.4  Any arbitration contemplated by this Subcontract shall be conducted in New
     York, New York, in accordance with the Rules (the "Rules")of the American
     Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). The arbitration will be before a panel
     of three arbitrators, one selected by Avondale, one selected by Hughes, and
     one who will be selected by the aforementioned selected arbitrators. Each
     arbitrator shall be knowledgeable about the United States shipbuilding
     industry and federal procurement laws, regulations and practices, and shall
     not have any direct or indirect, past, present, or expected future
     association with either or both of the parties, and who shall otherwise be
     neutral. The parties shall share equally the costs of the arbitration as
     provided in the Rules of the AAA.

7.5  The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered in writing and the
     reasons shall be given therefore. The decision of the arbitrators shall be
     final and conclusive on the parties, unless determined by the United States
     District Court for the Southern District of New York to be subject to being
     vacated, modified, or corrected on any of the grounds specified or referred
     to in the Uniform Arbitration Act, or for "manifest disregard of law" as
     judicially defined by that court. Judgment upon an award rendered by the
     arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Except
     as specifically provided for in this clause, or as may be necessary to
     enforce an award of the arbitrators, neither party shall institute any

                                       7




<PAGE>
 
     action or proceeding against the other in any court with respect to any
     claim, controversy, or dispute which is or could be subject to this
     provision. Neither party may interpose any objection to the procedures set
     forth herein or otherwise seek directly or indirectly to challenge the
     application thereof to any such claim, controversy or dispute, or any
     decision thereunder, in any court.

7.6  Pending the final disposition of any arbitration proceeding initiated
     pursuant to this provision, the parties shall at all times proceed
     diligently with the performance of this Subcontract.

A-8.  AMENDMENT/WAIVER

This Subcontract shall not be amended or modified unless set forth in a document
executed by duly authorized representatives of both Avondale and the 
Subcontractor.  The failure of either party to exercise any right provided under
this Subcontract shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right for any future
purpose.

A-9.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND SEVERABILITY

9.1  This Subcontract contains the entire agreement between the parties with
     respect to the Prime Contract and supersedes any prior oral or written
     agreements, drafts of this agreement, commitments, understandings, or
     communications. The Teaming Agreement shall remain in effect between the
     parties for potential future work of the LPD-17 class of vessels for
     construction, planning yard services and related solicitations.

9.2  If any part, term, or provision of this Subcontract shall be held void,
     illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with any law of a federal, state or
     local government having jurisdiction over this Subcontract, the validity of
     the remaining portions or provisions shall not be affected thereby.

A-12.  INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

This Subcontract shall not be construed as creating a joint venture, agency, 
partnership, or any other form of business organization, nor does it constitute 
a merger into any form of corporation or other business enterprise of the Prime 
Contractor, the Subcontractor or the Alliance.  At all times each party is and 
will remain an independent contractor.  Each

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
party is responsible for its own officers, employees, agents and parent and

liabilities, and obligations of any kind whatsoever.

A-13.  LIABILITIES

For all claims occurring in connection with or arising out of the meetings, 
inspections, and/or visits to their respective premises in the performance of 
the Project, Prime Contractor and Subcontractor shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless each other and their officers, directors, employees and agents for 
injury to, death of, their respective employees, subcontractors, guests and 
visitors, whether or not caused by the acts or omissions or the sole or 
concurrent negligence of an indemnified party.  The party seeking indemnity 
shall provide prompt notice to the other of any event which gives rise to its 
claim under the this provision, fully cooperate in its defense and assign the 
right to defend and/or settle any such claim to the responsible party.

A-14 RESTRICTIONS ON HIRING

During the term of this Subcontract, the parties agree that the Prime Contractor
and the Subcontractor will not solicit to hire either party's employees who are
assigned to work on the Project, without the prior written approval of the
affected party. There is no restriction on the open solicitation in public media
for recruitment of personnel. No employee, officer, agent, supplier,
subcontractor, or vendor of either party will be restricted from pursuing
employment or business opportunities on their own initiative.

A-15.  PAYMENT

This clause applies to payment for work performed under this Subcontract for 
CLINS 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, 0007, 0009 and 0012 exclusive of award fee 
payments, which are covered under Special Provision A-16 - Distribution of Award
Fee.

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
15.1 Interim Payments: Hughes will submit invoices to Avondale as work
     progresses, but not more frequently than once every two weeks, in amounts
     determined to be allowable in accordance with Subpart 31.2 of the Federal
     Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Avondale will include Hughe's invoice in it's
     next bill to the NAVSEA and funds will be provided to Hughes accordingly.

     Invoices will be prepared on a per vessel basis and shall reflect the total
     allowable costs in the performance of work, as certified by Hughes. For
     purposes of this clause, the term "costs" shall include those items listed
     in FAR 52.216-7(b). No payment, however, shall be made in an amount that,
     when added to the total of all payments previously made, exceeds one
     hundred precent (100%) of the cumulative allowable costs certified by
     Hughes.

     Each invoice submitted by Hughes shall include the following information:

       (1) Applicable contract line item numbers (CLIN's)
       (2) Date supplies provided or services performed
       (3) Costs incurred and allowable by CLIN, as follows:
             (a) Cumulative allowable costs incurred (by cost element), less
             (b) Previously billed allowable costs, giving
             (c) Current billing amount
       (4) An estimate at completion (EAC) by CLIN

     In addition, Hughes will provide, with each invoice, a certificate, signed
     by a Company Officer or his designee, verifying, to the best of his
     knowledge and belief, the allowability of all billed costs, consistent with
     FAR Subpart 31.2 Hughes will provide Avondale with a listing of those
     employees authorized to sign the certificate that accompanies each invoice.
     The certificate will not apply to the CLIN EAC provided with the invoice.

                                      11


<PAGE>
 
     Prior to submitting the first invoice, Hughes shall submit a sample billing
     format and sample certificate for review and approval by Avondale.

     Avondale and Hughes agree that invoice submission and/or payment may take
     place electronically. The parties agree to work together to determine the
     appropriate means of providing supporting documentation in the event of
     such electronic transmissions and/or payments.

15.2 Final Payment: Upon completion of the guarantee period of the final vessel
     in the contract, Hughes will prepare a final invoice by CLIN that
     incorporates 1) all allowable costs incurred plus 2) an estimate of
     projected allowable costs to complete the contract closeout process. Such
     allowable costs shall incorporate indirect costing rates approved by the
     Administrative Contracting Officer in connection with Hughes' prime
     contracts with the Government. Any projected allowable costs shall be
     subject to the prior agreement of the Government and approval by Avondale,
     which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

15.3 Potential Alternative Approach to Payments: Avondale has stated an intent,
     which Hughes supports, to approach the Government after Prime Contract
     award to establish an alternative approach to payments. Under such an
     alternative approach, Avondale, with data provided by Hughes (and Bath),
     would prepare a "combined invoice," which clearly reflects the allowable
     costs incurred by each Alliance member. The NAVSEA then would distribute
     funds directly to each party in the amounts specified in the combined
     invoice. Should NAVSEA accept this concept in a manner also mutually
     acceptable to Hughes, Avondale, and Bath. Hughes and Avondale agree to
     modify this Special Provision A-15 to incorporate such an approach.

                                      12

A-16.  DISTRIBUTION OF AWARD FEE

16.1 The award fee, as paid by the Government to the Alliance, shall be
     distributed among Avondale, Hughes, and Bath, on the basis of a) earned
     value and b) performance, as described below. A sample calculation of the
     formula is attached as Table 16-1.

a)   Earned Value:
     Seventy (70) percent of the cumulative award fee payment by the Government
     shall be assigned to the Earned Value Pool. The portion of this pool then
     distributed to each of Avondale, Hughes, and HUGHES shall be based on the
     Cumulative Earned Value Weighting of each Alliance member. The Cumulative
     Earned Value Weighting for each Alliance member shall equal the Cumulative
     Earned Value for that Alliance member divided by the sum of Cumulative
     Earned Values for all Alliance members. The Cumulative Earned Value for
     each Alliance member shall equal the product of 1) the Baseline Value
     Weighting and 2) the Cumulative Percent Complete.

        .  The Baseline Value Weighting for each Alliance member shall equal
           the contractual cost baseline (original contract award plus signed
           contract modifications) of that Alliance member divided by the 
           total contractual cost baseline for all Alliance members.
        .  The Cumulative Percent Complete for each Alliance member shall equal
           the weighted progress (reflecting labor, overhead, facilities cost
           of capital, and material) at the end of the evaluation period.  Such
           weighted progress for each Alliance member shall be determined by an
           earned value system, approved by the Government in accordance with
           Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 5000.2.

     The current amount of the Earned Value award fee component assigned to each
     Alliance member shall equal the Cumulative Earned Value Weighting 
     multiplied by the Cumulative Earned Value Pool (70 percent of the 
     cumulative award fee paid

                                      13

     by the Government) less the prior period cumulative Earned Value.

b)   Performance:
     Thirty (30) percent of the award fee paid by the Government in each period
     shall be assigned to the Performance Pool. The portion of this pool then
     distributed to each of Avondale, Hughes, and Bath shall be determined by
     normalizing the Weighted Performance Score of each Alliance member. The
     Weighted Performance Score for each Alliance member shall equal the product
     of 1) the Baseline Value Weighting (as defined above) and 2) the Normalized
     Performance Score. The Performance Award Fee for each Alliance member shall
     equal the product of 1) Weighted Performance Scores of each Alliance member
     and 2) the current period performance pool. The Normalized Performance
     Score for each Alliance member shall reflect the Performance Scores
     provided by the intra-Alliance Performance Evaluation Board (PEB).

16.2 The intra-Alliance PEB shall consist of the Chief Executive Officers from
     each of Avondale, Hughes, and Bath. The PEB will meet within three business
     days after each NAVSEA award fee session. At the PEB meeting, each CEO will
     provide a performance score (from 0 to 100) to each member of the Alliance.
     Such scoring shall reflect, in the judgment of each CEO, the performance of
     each Alliance member during the evaluation period. For each evaluation
     period, the Performance Score shall equal the simple average of the scores
     given by members of the PEB. Weighted criteria that each CEO will use to
     determine such scoring will be established within 30 days after the start
     of the evaluation period via Memorandum of Agreement.

16.3 For each Alliance member, the total award fee payment in any given 
     evaluation period shall equal the sum of the Earned Value and Performance 
     components, as calculated above.

                                      14

16.4 The attached example (Table 16-1) illustrates the calculation described in
     this clause. In the event of a conflict between the example and the text of
     this clause the example shall take precedence.

16.5 Within five business days after each PEB meeting, Avondale shall issue to
     each of the other Alliance members a contract modification that specifies
     the current amount payable, as calculated above. Avondale will then issue
     payment to each Alliance member within two business days after receipt of
     the funds from the customer.

               1.  Amendment to  the Existing Agreement.   Subject  to  and

          Banks  (as  evidenced  by  their execution of this Amendment), no

                    transactions contemplated by this Amendment.

              3.  Representations,  Warranties and Covenants.  In order  to
                    induce the Agent  and  the  Banks  to  enter  into this

                    covenants to the Agent and the Banks as follows:

                    applicable law,  statute,  ordinance, regulation, rule,
                    order  or  other governmental  restriction  or  of  the
                    Certificate  or Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of
                    the Company, (v)  do  not  contravene,  or constitute a
                    default  under,  any  agreement,  judgment, injunction,
                    order, decree, indenture, contract,  lease,  instrument
                    or other commitment to which the Company is a  party or
                    by which the Company or any of its assets are bound and
                    (vi)  will not result in the creation or imposition  of
                    any Lien  upon  any  asset  of  the  Company  under any
                    existing  indenture,  mortgage, deed of trust, loan  or
                    credit agreement or other  agreement  or  instrument to
                    which the Company is a party or by which it  or  any of
                    its assets may be bound or affected.

                    with their terms.

                    (c) The representations and warranties contained in the
               Credit Agreement and the other  Loan  Documents are true and
               correct  in  all material respects on and  as  of  the  date
               hereof as though  made  on  the  date  hereof, except to the
               extent that such representations expressly  relate solely to
               an  earlier  date  (in  which case such representations  and
               warranties were true and  accurate on and as of such earlier
               date).

                    (d) No Default or Event of  Default has occurred and is
               continuing.

               4. Reference to and Effect Upon the Credit  Agreement.  Upon
               the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference  in  the
               Existing   Agreement   to   "the   Agreement",  "hereunder",
               "hereof", "herein", or words of like  import, shall mean and
               be a reference to the Credit Agreement,  as  amended  hereby
               and  each  reference  to the Existing Agreement in any other
               Loan Document shall mean  and  be  a reference to the Credit
               Agreement, as amended hereby.

               5. Reaffirmation; Expenses.  The Company hereby reaffirms to
               the  Agent  and each of the Banks that, except  as  modified
               hereby, the Credit  Agreement  and all of the Loan Documents
               remain in full force and effect  and have not been otherwise
               waived, modified or amended.  Except  as  expressly modified
               hereby,  all  of  the  terms  and conditions of  the  Credit
               Agreement  shall remain unaltered  and  in  full  force  and
               effect.  The  Company acknowledges that all reasonable legal
               fees and expenses  of  the  Agent  related to this Amendment
               shall be paid by the Company.

               Collateral  Documents  and  acknowledges and agrees that the
               Collateral Documents to which the Company is a party are the
               legal,  valid  and  binding  obligations   of  the  Company,
               enforceable against it in accordance with their  terms;  and
               (ii)  agrees  that  the Obligations (for purposes of each of
               such   Collateral   Documents)    shall   include,   without
               limitation,  the Obligations under and  as  defined  in  the
               Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

               7. Choice of Law.  THIS  AMENDMENT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
               INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED
               TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND
               ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED  WITH,  RELATED TO, OR
               INCIDENTAL  TO  THE  RELATIONSHIP  ESTABLISHED  BETWEEN  THE
               COMPANY,  THE  SUBSIDIARIES,  THE  AGENT  AND  THE BANKS  IN
               CONNECTION  WITH  THIS  AMENDMENT,  AND  WHETHER ARISING  IN
               CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL  BE  RESOLVED  IN
               ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE
               OF ILLINOIS.

               8.  Counterparts.  This  Amendment may be executed in one or
<PAGE>
               more  counterparts,  each  of   which  shall  be  deemed  an
               original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
               the  same  instrument.   One or more  counterparts  of  this
               Amendment  may  be  delivered   by  telecopier,  and  if  so
               delivered shall be deemed to be delivered with the intention
               that  they  shall  have  the  same  effect  as  an  original
               counterpart   hereof.    Any  party  delivering   any   such
               counterpart by telecopy shall  promptly forward to the Agent
               an original counterpart hereof.
