   (b) Should the procedure described in subparagraph (a) above (the Statutory

       the amount previously due, LESSEE, within 15 days after receiving notice

       determining the current fair market rental value of the Property (the
       Alternate Procedure) as follows: (1) Lessee may request an appraisal by
       an appraiser having, the highest available qualifications and licensed in
       accordance with Section 73-34-1 et seq. of the Mississippi Code of 1972,
       as amended, to determine a current fair market annual rental value based
       on the fair market value of the land and a reasonable percentage of
       return on comparable land investments as of the rental adjustment date;
       (2) the appraiser appointed by LESSEE and the appraiser previously
       appointed by LESSOR under the Statutory Procedure, if they cannot agree,
       will mutually select a review appraiser who shall review and analyze the
       two appraisal reports and , if needed, inspect the land, consult with the
       two appraisers, review their assumptions and source information and
       request corrections, revisions or additions to the appraisal reports; (3)
       The review appraiser shall report his opinion of annual fair market rent.
       The lesser amount as determined by the Statutory Procedure or by the
       Alternate Procedure shall be accepted by LESSOR and LESSEE as the current
       fair market rental value of the leased property.

   (c) If LESSEE. requests the Alternate Procedure, LESSEE shall pay all fees
       and expenses of the LESSEE'S appraiser, the review appraiser, and any
       additional charges of LESSOR'S appraiser.

   (d) In no event, however, shall the adjusted annual ground rental for the
       second or fourth extension terms be in an amount that is less than the
       amount of annual ground rental for the preceding term.

   (e) The amount of rent determined in the above manner shall be promptly
       remitted upon conclusion of this rental adjustment procedure effective as
       of the rental adjustment date.

5. Use. LESSEE shall use the Properly for the purpose of manufacturing,
   maintaining and operating an assembly facility associated with non-nuclear
   weapons systems and uses incidental thereto, which may consist of such
   buildings as are necessary for such operations (collectively, the "Assembly
   Facility"). All improvements to the Property necessary for LESSEE'S use shall
   be made at LESSEE'S expense.

   LESSEE shall erect an Assembly Facility suitable far its proposed use. It is
   understood and agreed that the initial facility area to be cleared consists
   of approximately Twenty-One-and-Nineteen-One-Hundredths (21.19) acres as set
   out on the plat attached hereto as Exhibit "A'; and LESSOR grants LESSEE the
   right to clear all trees, undergrowth, or other obstructions and to trim, cut
   and keep trimmed and cut, all limbs which may interfere or fall upon LESSEE'S
   facility or the LESSEE'S other improvements on said Twenty-One-and-Nineteen-
   One-Hundredths (21.1 9) acre site. It is further understood and agreed that
   LESSEE'S operations on the Property may require that its Assembly Facility be
   expanded from time to time, and that such expansion will necessitate that
   additional land be cleared of trees and other obstructions. It is likewise
   further understood and agreed that all timber on the Property is reserved
   unto LESSOR by operation of law concerning 16th Section lands. Therefore, if
   at any time LESSEE shall determine that it will expand the Assembly Facility
   area, it shall first notify LESSOR in writing of its intention to expand and
   furnish LESSOR with a designation of the area upon which trees and other
   obstructions will need to be cleared. Upon such receipt, LESSOR shall
   forthwith notify and direct the Mississippi Forestry Commission to perform
   any necessary cruise and/or appraisal of the timber located on the area to be
   cleared as said Commission deems necessary to determine the status and value
   of the trees situated thereon, and report its findings in writing to LESSOR
   and LESSEE.  If the Commission's report indicates that merchantable trees are
   located on the area designated to be cleared, LESSOR shall forthwith proceed
   with the advertisement and sale of said timber by bid as required under state
   law governing 16th Section lands with said trees to be cut and removed 
<PAGE>
 
   by the successful bidder within a reasonable time thereafter taking into
   consideration state law in regard to such sale. LESSEE agrees to pay LESSOR
   compensation for any loss of previous and future growth of trees on the
   expansion area which are not merchantable at the rate of Fifty Dollars
   ($50.00) per acre per year based upon a 27 year tree growth cycle together
   with the costs of site preparation anal tree planting associated therewith as
   reflected by the Commission's report.

   LESSOR may continue to grow and harvest timber on any area of the Property
   either within or outside of any buffer zone established by LESSEE, other than
   the Assembly Facility Area or any expansion area to be cleared as above
   described, provided any such harvesting activities are undertaken or
   performed at a time that does not interfere with LESSEE'S operations.

   Governmental Approvals. LESSOR shall cooperate with LESSEE in its effort to
   obtain and maintain in effect all certificates, permits, licenses and other
   approvals required by governmental authorities for LESSEE'S use of the
   Property.

   liability or loss from personal injury or property damage resulting from or
   arising out of the use and occupancy of the Property by LESSEE or its

   be due to or caused by the acts or omissions of LESSOR or its employees or
   agents. LESSEE shall provide a comprehensive general public liability policy
   covering its operations on the Property.  LESSEE shall provide liability
   insurance for the Assembly Facility and worker's compensation insurance in
   statutory amounts.  Certificates of insurance shall be supplied to the LESSOR
   prior to the commencement of construction and upon the renewal date of each

   of this agreement, LESSOR shall have the option to be vested with title to
   the buildings as set out in Paragraph 5 constituting the Assembly Facility,
   constructed or installed on the Property by LESSEE. If upon termination of
   this agreement LESSOR exercises such option to have such title vested in it,
   LESSEE shall within a reasonable period remove all personal properly and any
   fixtures therein, provided such removal of fixtures does not significantly

   title to the buildings, and agrees to execute any appropriate documents that
   are necessary or desirable to accomplish such transfer of title to said
   buildings. If upon termination of this agreement LESSOR chooses not to take
   title to such buildings, then title to such buildings shall remain in LESSEE,
   and LESSEE shall within a reasonable period remove all such buildings
   together with personal property and fixtures, and restore the Property to its
   original condition.
