     (b) The Contractor agrees to perform or have performed work on the items
specified in paragraph (a) above up to the point at which, if this contract is
terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause
of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts
payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and
(g) of that clause would, in the exercise of reasonable judgment by the
Contractor, approximate the total amount at the time allotted to the contract.
The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of the work beyond that
point. The Government is not obligated in any event to pay or reimburse the
Contractor more than the amount from time to time allotted to the contract,
anything to the contrary in the Termination for Convenience of the Government
clause notwithstanding.

(c)(1) It is contemplated that funds presently allotted to this contract will
cover the work to be performed until April 30, 2000.

(2) If funds allotted are considered by the Contractor to be inadequate to cover
the work to be performed until that date, or an agreed date substituted for it,
the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing when within the
next 60 days the work will reach a point at which, if the contract is terminated
pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this
contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable
for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of
that clause will approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the
contract.

                                                                               4
<PAGE>

(3)(i) The notice shall state the estimated date when the point referred to in
subparagraph (2) above will be reached and the estimated amount of additional
funds required to continue performance to the date specified in subparagraph (1)
above, or an agreed date substituted for it.

(ii) The Contractor shall, 60 days in advance of the date specified in
subparagraph (1) above, or an agreed date substituted for it, advise the
Contracting Officer in writing as to the estimated amount of additional funds
required for the timely performance of the contract for a further period as may
be specified in the contract or otherwise agreed to by the parties.

(4) If, after the notification referred to in subdivision (3)(ii) above,
additional funds are not allotted by the date specified in subparagraph (1)
above, or an agreed date substituted for it, the Contracting Officer shall, upon
the Contractor's written request, terminate this contract on that date or on the
date set forth in the request, whichever is later, pursuant to the Termination
for Convenience of the Government clause.

(d) When additional funds are allotted from time to time for continued
performance of the work under this contract, the parties shall agree on the
applicable period of contract performance to be covered by these funds. The
provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall apply to these additional
allotted funds and the substituted date pertaining to them, and the contract
shall be modified accordingly.

(e) If, solely by reason of the Government's failure to allot additional funds
in amounts sufficient for the timely performance of this contract, the
Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work
under this contract, and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable
adjustment shall be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target,
billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the items to be delivered, or
in the time of delivery, or both.

(f) The Government may at any time before termination, and, with the consent of
the Contractor, after notice of termination, allot additional funds for this
contract.

(g) The provisions of this clause with respect to termination shall in no way be
deemed to limit the rights of the Government under the Default clause of this
contract. The provisions of this Limitation of Funds clause are limited to the
work on and allotment of funds for the items set forth in paragraph (a) above.
This clause shall become inoperative upon the allotment of funds for the total
price of said work except for rights and obligations then existing under this
clause.

(h) Nothing in this clause shall affect the right of the Government to terminate
this contract pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government
clause of this contract.


11.  SUBMISSION OF REQUESTS FOR PROGRESS PAYMENTS (1852.232-82)
     (MAR 1989)

The Contractor shall request progress payments in accordance with the Progress
Payments clause by submitting to the Contracting Officer an original and two
