      Milestone Achievement signed by the Seller and the Buyer and the
      appropriate documents as specified in Article 6. If the Seller is not paid
      by net 45, then interest, at the U.S. Prime Rate, will accrue on the
      invoice amount. Prime rate is defined as the interest rate at which the
      U.S. Federal Reserve Bank lends to its best customers.

8.3   When sending an invoice relating to this Contract, the Seller shall
      indicate the applicable reference number from the Price and Payment
      Schedule. Failure to do so will prevent the processing and payment of the
      invoice. In the event a Milestone payment applies to more than one (1)
      reference number, the Seller shall submit a separate invoice for each
      reference number, which covers a portion of such payment. In addition,
      Seller's invoices must as a minimum contain the relevant information
      required by the FMF Guidelines, which are attached hereto as Appendix VI
      and Seller's Certification to the DSCA, including the following
      certification: "(Full Name of Seller) acknowledges that U.S. Government
      funds are being used by the Government of Israel to finance this Contract
      and certifies that the invoice(s) submitted with respect thereto are free
      from any material false statement or misrepresentation and do not omit any
      material facts."

8.4   Payment shall be made by wire transfer as follows:

                      Payee: VALENTEC SYSTEMS INC.
                      Mail to: VALENTEC SYSTEMS INC.
                               2618 YORK AVENUE
                               MINDEN, LOUISIANA, 71005 U.S.A.

                      Payable to: BANK NAME: BANK ONE
                                  ROUTING NUMBER: 065400137
                                  ACCOUNT NUMBER: 1591964588
                                  ACCOUNT NAME: VALENTEC SYSTEMS, INC.

8.5   The Milestones and corresponding payments and letter of credit amounts
      shall be as set forth in the Price and Payment Schedule.

8.6   IMOD's obligation to make the payments pursuant to Milestones shown in the
      Price and Payment Schedule is conditioned upon receipt by the Buyer of the
      Appendix III Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit.

8.7   All Milestones must be performed in full. Notwithstanding the Seller's
      successful completion of its obligations under a particular Milestone,
      neither the Buyer nor IMOD will have any payment obligation for such
      Milestone unless the Milestone has been successfully completed. All tasks
      within a Milestone must be successfully completed in order for the
      Milestone to be considered as having been successfully completed.

8.8   However, minor non-conformities (those that do not affect the system's
      form, fit and function), such as minor chips in the system's paint or a
      misplaced decal on the exterior of a system, will not be the basis for
      refusing to accept a subsequent Lot/Milestone, so long as VALENTEC SYSTEMS
      INC. gives assurances of a timely correction of the minor non-conformity
      and IMOD reasonably believes VALENTEC SYSTEMS INC. has made reasonable
      progress in effecting the promised corrections by the scheduled delivery
      date of the subsequent lot/Milestone. Where Soltam/IMOD has rejected a
      RMS6 System because of minor non-conformities, VALENTEC SYSTEMS INC. may
      substitute a replacement RMS6 System, in kind, for the rejected RMS6
      System, and VALENTEC SYSTEMS INC. may then later deliver the rejected RMS6
      once corrected.

8.9   The Seller shall not deliver items prior to the dates set forth in the
      Delivery Schedule without first obtaining the prior written permission of
      the Buyer. Failure to obtain such

                                                                    Page 8 of 41
<PAGE>

                             CONTRACT NO. KESHET 002

      permission shall give the Buyer and IMOD the right to delay processing and
      payment of the applicable invoice until the date set forth in the Price
      and Payment Schedule (with no interest accruing thereon). This Article is
      in no way intended as authorization for late delivery. Failure to meet the
      schedule as set forth in this Contract shall entitle the Buyer to all of
      its rights and remedies under this Contract, at law and in equity.

8.10  The Seller hereby confirms that the IMOD assumes no responsibility towards
      this contract. The Seller agrees that under no circumstances shall IMOD be
      made a party to any dispute between the Buyer and the Seller, regardless
      of the nature of such dispute.

ARTICLE 9 - PRICE AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE

            equal to the amount of the advance payment, will be provided by VSI
            to SOLTAM within thirty (30) days after the Contract Effective Date.
            This Letter of Credit will be increased accordingly by the amount of

            in accordance with its terms.

            contract hardware deliveries is revised, VSI shall cause the
            expiration date of the Letter of Credit to be extended to a date one
            hundred twenty (120) days following the latest of such revised
            completion date. VSI shall cause the amount of the Letter of Credit
            to be increased as appropriate on account of any changes made
            pursuant to Article 28 hereof, Modification Changes.

                                                                    Page 9 of 41

ARTICLE 19 - TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT

19.1   It is agreed by and between the parties hereto that in the event VALENTEC
       SYSTEMS INC. fails to make delivery of any items within ninety (90) days
       after notice of default or any extension thereof the Performance
       Guarantee shall vest with SOLTAM, unless the price of the item defaulted
       is less than the value of the Letter of Credit, at which case, the price
       of the item(s) shall be paid to SOLTAM in lieu of the full value of the
       Letter of Credit.

19.2   However, if there is a dispute between SOLTAM and VALENTEC SYSTEMS INC.
       concerning the alleged default of the Contract such dispute shall be
       settled under the Arbitration Article 22. Under a dispute situation, the
       Performance Guarantee, or a less amount as mentioned above, would not
       vest in SOLTAM unless the Arbitration Board decided the dispute in favor
       of SOLTAM.

19.3   Except for defaults of subcontractors at any tier, the Seller shall not
       be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the contract
       arises from causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence
       of the Seller. Examples of such causes include (1) acts of God or of the
       public enemy, (2) fires, (3) floods, (4) epidemics, (5) quarantine
       restrictions, (6) strikes, (7) freight embargoes, and (8) unusually
       severe weather. In each instance the failure to perform must be beyond
       the control and without the fault or negligence of the Seller.

19.4   If the failure to perform is caused by the default of a subcontractor at
       any tier, and if the cause of the default is beyond the control of both
       the Seller and subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of
       either, the Seller shall not be liable for any excess costs for failure
       to perform, unless the subcontracted supplies or services were obtainable
       from other sources in sufficient time for the Seller to meet the required
       delivery schedule.

19.5   The Buyer shall pay contract price for completed supplies delivered and
       accepted. The Seller and Buyer shall agree on the amount of payment for
       manufacturing materials delivered and accepted and for the protection and
       preservation of the property. Failure to agree will be a "dispute" under
       Article 22-Applicable Law and Arbitration clause of this contract.

19.6   If, after termination, it is determined that the Seller was not in
       default, or that the default was excusable, the rights and obligations of
       the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for
       the convenience of the Buyer.

19.7.1 It is agreed by and between the parties that the remedies available to
       VALENTEC SYSTEMS INC. and SOLTAM as set forth above are the sole and
       exclusive remedies, recourse and liability to each of the parties under
       this Article of this Contract. Under no circumstances shall SOLTAM or
       VALENTEC SYSTEMS INC. be liable under this Article or any other provision
       of this Contract to a cumulative liability greater than that set forth in
       this Article.

                                                                   Page 14 of 41

ARTICLE 20 - TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE

20.1  Buyer shall have the right, at its convenience and discretion, to
      terminate this Contract, in whole or from time to time in part, by
      delivery to Seller of a notice of termination for convenience, specifying
      the extent to which the performance of the Program under this Contract is
      terminated, and the date upon which such termination shall become
      effective, which termination shall be subject to the terms set forth in
      Paragraph 52.249-2 of the September 1996 edition of the Federal
      Acquisition Regulation of the United States Government, with Buyer being
      substituted for the "Contracting Officer" and the "Government" and Seller
      being substituted for "Contractor", except that any disputes in connection
      herewith shall be resolved in accordance with ARTICLE 22 hereunder. Costs
      included in Seller termination claim may be verified by DCAA.

ARTICLE 21 - SUBCONTRACTORS

21.1  Seller shall notify Buyer the identity of its Subcontractors who may take
      part in the performance of Seller's obligations and undertakings pursuant
      to this Contract and in addition, the types of work in which they shall be
      engaged.

21.2  Seller shall cause, that all the required provisions of this Contract,
      shall be included in each agreement between Seller and any of its
      Subcontractors, mutatis mutandis, and shall ensure that each of its
      Subcontractors shall adhere to the provisions of this Contract. Provided
      that the aforesaid will apply only to the Subcontractors whose contract
      price is above US$ 500,000 (five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars).

21.3  Notwithstanding the above provisions, nothing in this Contract creates
      contractual relations between Buyer and the Subcontractors or shall impose
      on Buyer any financial obligation towards the Subcontractors and/or
      diminishes Seller's responsibilities and liabilities, undertakings and
      obligations to perform this Contract as it is written, and according to
      its provisions.

ARTICLE 22 - APPLICABLE LAW AND ARBITRATION

22.1  Applicable Law and Enforcement

      It is agreed by and between the parties hereto that this Contract shall be
      construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of New York
      (excluding conflict of laws principles). Any arbitration award shall be
      based on and accompanied by findings of fact and conclusions of law, and
      shall be conclusive. Any award shall be confirmable by any U.S. District

ARTICLE 45 - STOP WORK ORDERS

45.1  Buyer may, by written order to Seller at any time, require Seller to stop
      all, or any part, of the work called for by this Contract for a period of
      up to ninety (90) days after the stop work order is delivered to Seller
      and for any further period to which the parties may agree. Any such order
      shall be specifically identified as a stop work order issued pursuant to
      this ARTICLE. Upon receipt of such an order. Seller shall forthwith comply
      with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of
      cost allocable to the work covered by the order during the period of work
      stoppage. Within a period of ninety (90) days after a stop work order is
      delivered to Seller, or within any extension of that period to which the
      parties have mutually agreed to an extension, Buyer shall either:

            (i)   Cancel the stop work order; or

            (ii)  Terminate the work covered by such order by reason of Seller's
                  default or as provided in ARTICLE 20, Termination for
                  Convenience.

45.2  If a stop work order issued under this ARTICLE is cancelled or the period
      of the order or any extension thereof expires, Seller shall resume work.
      An equitable adjustment shall be made in the delivery schedule or Contract
      Price, or both, and the Contract shall be modified in writing accordingly,
      if:

      A.    The stop work order results in an increase in the time required for,
            or in Seller's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any
            part of this Contract; and

      B.    Seller asserts a claim for such adjustment within thirty (30) days
            after the end of the period of work stoppage;

ARTICLE 46 - FIELD PRICING SUPPORT

46.1  Seller agrees to the requirement for field pricing support as stipulated
      hereunder. This support will be provided by Defense Contract Management
      Command (DCMC) and Defense Contract Audit Agency and will normally include
      technical and cost analysis of Seller's proposal. IMOD shall request field
      pricing support through the DCMC International Logistics Office in New
      York, NY. Field pricing support will include an audit review by the
      cognizant contract audit activity before concluding negotiation of the
      Contract or any modification. Seller will submit cost or pricing data in
      connection with the pricing of this Contract or any modification to this
      Contract which affects the price of the Contract.

46.2  The U.S. Government (USG) representatives shall have the right to examine
      and audit all of Seller's books, records, documents, and other data,
      related to proposing, negotiating, pricing, or performing this Contract,
      in order to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, and currency of the cost
      or pricing data. The right of examination shall extend to all documents
      necessary to permit adequate evaluation of the cost or pricing data
      submitted, along with the computations and projections used. Seller

                                                                   Page 25 of 41
<PAGE>

                             CONTRACT NO. KESHET 002

      shall make available at its office at all reasonable times the materials
      described above for examination, audit, or reproduction, until 3 years
      after final payment under the Contract. General access to Seller's books
      and financial records shall be limited to USG representatives. The USG
      representatives shall verbally notify the IMOD immediately of data
      provided that is so deficient as to preclude review, or where Seller has
      denied access to records or to cost or pricing data considered essential
      to the performance of a satisfactory review. This verbal notification
      shall be promptly confirmed in writing to the IMOD describing the
      deficiency or the denial of access to data or records. Seller failure to
      provide adequate cost and pricing data may disqualify the Contract from
      consideration for FMF approval.

46.3  Field pricing support is intended to give the IMOD a detailed analysis of
      the proposal for use in the Contract negotiations to determine a fair and
      reasonable price. It normally includes an audit review by the cognizant
      audit activity and a technical analysis by DCMC. Seller has no objection
      that Buyer will receive from IMOD the results and conclusions of said
      audit.

      A.    Cost analysis will include, as appropriate:

            1.    Verification of cost or pricing data and evaluation of cost
                  elements.

            2.    Evaluating the effect of Seller's current practices on future
                  costs to ensure that the effects of inefficient or
                  uneconomical past practices are not projected into the future.

      B.    Comparison of cost proposed by Seller for individual cost elements
            with:

            1.    Actual costs previously incurred by Seller;

            2.    Previous cost estimates from Seller or from other offers for
                  the same or similar items;

            3.    Other cost estimates received in response to the IMOD's
                  request;

            4.    Independent cost estimates by technical personnel;

            5.    Forecasts or planned expenditures.

      C.    Verification that Seller's cost submissions are in accordance with
            U.S. DOD contract cost principles and procedures and, when
            applicable, the requirements and procedures of the Cost Accounting
            Standards.

      D.    Review to determine that all cost or pricing data necessary to make
            Seller's proposal accurate, complete, and current has been either
            submitted or identified in writing by Seller.

      E.    Analysis of the results of any make-or-buy program reviews, in
            evaluating Seller costs.

46.4  Technical analysis will include, at a minimum, a review and assessment of
      the quantities and kinds of material proposed; the need for the number and
      kinds of labor hours and the labor mix; any special tooling and facilities
      proposed; reasonableness of proposed scrap and spoilage factors; and any
      other data that may be pertinent to the cost or price analysis.

46.5  Any subcontracts meeting the $750,000.00 or more threshold will be subject
      to the same surveillance as Seller.

ARTICLE 47 - Miscellaneous

      writing, shall be signed by the duly authorized representatives of the

47.5  In no event shall either party be liable for indirect, incidental or
      consequential damages.

47.6  Any provision hereof prohibited by, or that is unlawful or unenforceable
      under, any applicable law of any jurisdiction, shall as to such
      jurisdiction be ineffective without affecting any other provisions of this
      Contract; provided, however, that if the provisions of such applicable law
      may be waived, they are hereby waived, to the end that this Contract be
      deemed to be a valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with
      its terms.

47.7  The provisions of this Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the
      benefit of Buyer and Seller and their respective successors and assigns,
      but this provision shall not be deemed to expand or otherwise affect the
      limitation on assignment and transfers set forth above, and no party is
      intended to or shall have any right or interest under this Contract,
      except as provided above.

47.8  This Contract may be executed in several counterparts in the English
      language, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all such
      counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
