Exhibit "A" in Statement of Work attached hereto.

2. Contractor will prepare and
submit its proposal to the Malaysian Consortium with assistance from the
Subcontractor in the following areas: input on selected Statement of Work tasks,
related experience information, tailored resumes on key personnel, and
appropriate costs information, all to be used in preparation of the Contractor
proposal. Details and formats for these inputs will be provided separately.

3. Contractor will recognize and identify the Subcontractor in its proposal and
use its diligent efforts to secure Malaysian Consortium approval of the use of
the Subcontractor and its technologies in the Program. Contractor will keep the
Subcontractor fully advised of any proposed changes that affect its area of
