[EXECUTION FORM) APPENDIX I
RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
GENERAL DYNAMICS CORPORATION
AND
(QUALIFIED AFFILIATE)
THIS AGREEMENT made on ___________, 19____, by and between GENERAL
DYNAMICS CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware ('General Dynamics') and (Qualified Affiliate).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS:
1. General Dynamics is engaged directly, and through subsidiary and
affiliated corporations (collectively such subsidiary and affiliated
corporations being referred to herein as 'Affiliates'), in the businesses of
building ships for the U.S. Government and privately and publicly held
corporations.
2. The monies earned from these activities are received by General
Dynamics, and/or its Affiliates, under various forms of contracts for the most
part involving progress payments, dependent upon the state of completion of the
projects, the proceeds of which are generally subject to assignment.
3. General Dynamics maintains a consolidated capital construction fund
(the 'Fund') within the meaning of Section 607 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936,
as amended (the 'Act') pursuant to the terms of an original agreement between
NASSCO and the Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation, dated as
of September 14, 1988, as amended (the 'Agreement'), and desires to invest and
reinvest certain monies or the proceeds of property deposited and to be
deposited, from time to time, into the Fund in an undivided interest in Eligible
Receivables held by General Dynamics or any Qualified Affiliate, as such terms
are defined below.
4. (General Dynamics or Qualified Affiliate) proposes to sell and
General Dynamics proposes to purchase, for the account of the Fund, an undivided
interest in Eligible Receivables arising from time to time and held by (General
Dynamics or Qualified Affiliate).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises, and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, it is
hereby agreed:
1. ELIGIBLE RECEIVABLES. Subject to the limitations of paragraph 2
(investment, share, percentage), General Dynamics may purchase from time to time
from any itself or any Qualified Affiliate for the account of the Fund an
undivided interest in Eligible Receivables. An 'Eligible Receivable' shall be an
evidence of indebtedness of the United States of America, or any instrumentality
or agency thereof, or of any party organized under the laws of the United States
or a state thereof, unrelated to General Dynamics or any of its Affiliates,
payable in
United States dollars and acquired by General Dynamics or any Qualified
Affiliate in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
Affiliate shall qualify to sell evidences of indebtedness to General Dynamics
for the account of the Fund under this Agreement ('Qualified Affiliate') only
upon delivery of a written instrument agreeing to (i) authorize General Dynamics
to act on its behalf where appropriate or required hereunder, (ii) perform any
of the acts that General Dynamics has agreed hereunder to cause such Affiliate
to perform, and (iii) otherwise bound by the terms of this Agreement.
2. INVESTMENT, SHARE AND PERCENTAGE. The cumulative dollar amount paid
or consideration given by General Dynamics hereunder for the purchase of an
undivided interest in Eligible Receivables from General Dynamics ('General
Dynamics Receivables') or from any Qualified Affiliate ('Affiliate Receivables')
less, in each case,-the proceeds received by the Fund upon any sale of such
undivided interest as described in paragraph 13 (REPURCHASE) is hereinafter
referred to as 'General Dynamics Investment' or 'Affiliate Investment,'
respectively, (collectively 'Investment'). The Fund's undivided interest,
expressed as a dollar amount, in General Dynamics Receivables or Affiliate
Receivables is hereinafter referred to individually as 'General Dynamics Share'
or 'Affiliate Share', respectively (collectively 'share'), and in each case
shall at any time be equal to General Dynamics Investment or Affiliate
Investment, as the case may be, multiplied by the sum of one plus the Discount
Factor (as defined below) applicable thereto. The Fund's undivided interest,
expressed as a percentage, in General Dynamics Receivables or Affiliate
Receivables, is hereinafter referred to as 'General Dynamics Percentage' or
'Affiliate Percentage', respectively, and in each case shall at any time be
equal to General Dynamics Share or an Affiliate Share, as the case may be,
divided by the face value of General Dynamics Receivables or the applicable
Affiliate Receivables, respectively.
3. ELECTION AND ASSIGNMENT. If General Dynamics elects to purchase
Eligible Receivables initially or from time to time, on behalf of the Fund, it
shall execute and deliver an instrument of election ('Election') in the form set
forth in Exhibit A to General Dynamics or the applicable Qualified Affiliate, as
the case may be, not less than two business days prior to the requested
effective date thereof. Pursuant to the Election, General Dynamics will sell,
transfer, and assign to NASSCO, in the case of General Dynamics Receivables, and
will cause the applicable Qualified Affiliate to sell, transfer and assign to
General Dynamics, in the case of Affiliate Receivables, in each case on behalf
of the Fund, an undivided interest in such Eligible Receivables. The sale,
transfer and assignment shall be evidenced by execution of an instrument of
assignment ('Assignment') in the form set forth in Exhibit B. A copy of each
Assignment shall be delivered to the Fund depository as evidence of the Fund's
investment in accordance with Section 607(c) of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936,
as amended. The initial or any change in the level of either General Dynamics
Investment or Affiliate Investment, respectively, shall be distinguished from
the periodic reinvestment of any General Dynamics Share or Affiliate Share as
described in paragraph 9 (ONGOING REINVESTMENT), which shall require no Election
or Assignment
4. TITLE. From the time of General Dynamics' initial purchase of Share
through any adjustment in such Share from time to time, such Share shall be and
become the exclusive property of the Fund.
2
5. AGENCY.
(a) Possession and Records. With respect to all Eligible Receivables
in which the Fund owns an undivided interest from time to time,
General Dynamics shall, in the case of General
Dynamics-Receivables, and shall cause the applicable Qualified
Affiliate, in the case of Affiliate Receivables, in each acting as
agent on behalf of General Dynamics and the Fund, to maintain
physical possession of the Eligible Receivables and all records
pertaining thereto, which records shall indicate in writing that
the Fund has an undivided interest in the Eligible Receivables and
shall be sufficient to distinguish the Fund's interest therein
from General Dynamics's or such Qualified Affiliate's remaining
interest.
(b) Collection. Subject to the exercise of reasonable business
judgment, General Dynamics shall, in the case of General Dynamics
Receivables, and shall cause the applicable Qualified Affiliate,
in the case of Affiliate Receivables, to use reasonable efforts to
process and collect Eligible Receivables in the same manner and
with the same diligence as it or such Qualified Affiliate
processes and collects its other receivables. In addition General
Dynamics shall in its own name, in the case of General Dynamics
Receivables, and shall cause the applicable Qualified Affiliate,
in the case of Affiliate Receivables, to (i) endeavor to collect,
or cause to be collected, from its customers or those of the
applicable Qualified Affiliate as and when due any and all amounts
owing under or on account of Eligible Receivables, and (ii) take,
or cause to be taken, such action to enforce rights under any such
Eligible Receivables as it or such Qualified Affiliate deems
reasonably proper.
(c) Collection Agencies: Compliance with Law. General Dynamics or any
Qualified Affiliate may employ collection agencies or others to
collect defaulted Eligible Receivables. In acting with respect to
Eligible Receivables, General Dynamics will and will cause each
Qualified Affiliate to comply with all laws, official rulings and
regulations and will indemnify and hold the Fund harmless from and
against any and all penalties or losses which might be incurred by
the Fund as the result of General Dynamics's or any Qualified
Affiliate's negligence or failure to comply therewith.
(d) Enforcement by the Fund. The Fund will take any action to collect
Eligible Receivables or to otherwise enforce the Fund's legal
interest therein, unless General Dynamics has made a determination
not to or is unable to, or does not cause the applicable Qualified
Affiliate to or such Qualified Affiliate is unable to proceed for
collection and does not otherwise hold the Fund harmless through
the operation of paragraph 12 (UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES). In no
event shall the Fund take any action to collect any Eligible
Receivables of the United States of America or any agency or
instrumentality thereof which have not been assigned in accordance
with the Assignment of Claims Act
(e) Servicing Costs. General Dynamics will reimburse each Qualified
Affiliate, as appropriate, on a monthly basis, but not from the
Fund, for the performance of
3
services required by this paragraph in an amount equal to the
actual costs incurred in connection with such services as
determined from time to time (i) for the General Dynamics
Receivables by multiplying such costs by the General Dynamics
Percentage of the General Dynamics Receivables owned by the Fund,
and (ii) for each Affiliate's Receivables by multiplying such
costs by such Affiliate's Percentage of such Affiliate Receivables
owned by the Fund. General Dynamics shall, in the case of General
Dynamics Receivables, and shall cause the applicable Qualified
Affiliate, in the case of Affiliate Receivables, to keep records
reasonably required to allow NASSCO to verify any amounts charged
hereunder.
(f) Power of Attorney. General Dynamics, on behalf of itself and the
Fund, hereby grants to each Qualified Affiliate, as appropriate,
an exclusive power of attorney to process and collect the interest
of the Fund in Eligible Receivables, which shall be revocable only
if such Qualified Affiliate is unable to proceed for collection
and does not otherwise hold the Fund harmless through the
operation of paragraph 12 (UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES).
6. Audit. General Dynamics shall, in the case of General Dynamics
Receivables, and shall cause the applicable Qualified Affiliate,
in the case of Affiliate Receivables, to (a) maintain such
documents in accordance with its regular practice as may be
required for the collection of Eligible Receivables; (b) maintain
such accounts and other records as will enable it to determine
upon request the status of the Fund's General Dynamics Share or
Affiliate Share; (c) permit, on reasonable notice and during
normal business hours, the inspection, auditing, checking and
making abstracts from General Dynamics's and such Qualified
Affiliate's accounts, records, correspondence and other papers
pertaining to Eligible Receivables; and (d) deliver, upon request
copies of any of such accounts, records, correspondence and other
papers as it may reasonably deem essential with respect to
Eligible Receivables.
7. ACCOUNT1NG MONTH. This Agreement shall be administered on the
basis of NASSCO's accounting month. The last business day of each
accounting month shall constitute an 'Account Clearing Date.'
General Dynamics shall, in the case of General Dynamics
Receivables, and shall cause the applicable Qualified Affiliate,
in the case of Affiliate Receivables, to develop data, analyses
and reports in accordance with paragraph 8 (DISCOUNT) as of each
Account Clearing Date. These data, analyses and reports shall be
provided no later than the Account Clearing Date for the
subsequent month. If any change in the level of Investment occurs
on a day other than an Account Clearing Date, then for purposes of
all calculations, sales, collections and expenses shall be deemed
to have occurred ratably over the month.
8. DISCOUNT. Purchases for the account of the Fund with respect to
each of the General Dynamics Receivables or any Affiliate
Receivables, as the case may be, shall be for a consideration
equal to an amount which is lower than the applicable General
Dynamics Share or Affiliate Share by the amount of a
4
'Discount' (as defined below), which reflects the expected days to
collect such General Dynamics Receivables or Affiliate Receivables
('Contract Collection Days') and the 'Rate' (as defined below).
The Discount with respect to each of the General Dynamics
Receivables and any Affiliate Receivables, as the case may be,
shall be separately determined in the following manner
(a) Contract Collection Days shall initially be set at 45 days,
which is the current estimate of the average of the actual
collection days for the Eligible Receivables. For each year
after 1988, the Contract Collection Days shall be the
average of actual experience with Eligible Receivables for
the immediately preceding year or as otherwise mutually
agreed.
(b) Actual Collection Days are calculated for each month by
multiplying the month-end Eligible Receivables balance by
the number of days in the month and dividing that value by
the aggregate amounts invoiced during the month for the
customer accounts which generate Eligible Receivables.
(c) The initial discount rate for each purchase shall be ten
percent (10%) per annum, which rate shall be adjusted from
time to time by General Dynamics to reflect current market
conditions.
(d) The Discount Factor for each purchase equals the Rate
multiplied by Contract Collection Days.
(e) The Fund's General Dynamics Share or Affiliate Share shall
equal the General Dynamics Investment or Affiliate
Investment, respectively, multiplied by the sum of one plus
the Discount Factor applicable thereto.
(f) The Discount with respect to General Dynamics Receivables
equals General Dynamics Investment multiplied by the
applicable Discount Factor, and the Discount with respect to
any Affiliate Receivables equals such Affiliate Investment
multiplied by the applicable Discount Factor.
(g) Discount Income equals the product of days in such month
multiplied by the Discount for such month and divided by the
Contract Collection Days for such month.
9. ONGOING REINVESTMENT. The make-up of the Eligible Receivables will
change continuously as individual evidences of indebtedness are collected and
new evidences of indebtedness are generated in the normal course of General
Dynamics's and each Qualified Affiliate's businesses. Collections with respect
to Eligible Receivables included in General Dynamics Share or Affiliate Share
shall be routinely and immediately reinvested in other Eligible Receivables. All
credits under paragraph 10 (MONTHLY ESTIMATED CREDITS) and annual adjustments
under paragraph 11 (ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT FOR ACTUAL COLLECTIONS) shall be deemed to
be immediately reinvested in other Eligible Receivables unless General
5
Dynamics or a Qualified Affiliate, as the case may be, elects to make payment in
cash to the Fund.
10. MONTHLY ESTIMATED PAYMENTS. General Dynamics shall, in the case of
General Dynamics Receivables, and shall cause the applicable Qualified
Affiliate, in the case of Affiliate Receivables, in each case, as of the end of
each Account Clearing Date and before the next following Account Clearing Date
to make calculations as shown by example in the applicable Exhibit D (note, each
selling entity will have a separate Exhibit D) and, credit the Fund, for the net
of the following items:
(a) The Fund's Discount Income for such General Dynamics Receivables
or the applicable Affiliate Receivables, as the case may be, for
the month, plus
(b) The General Dynamics Percentage and each Affiliate Percentage, as
the case may be, of finance revenue, if any, for such General
Dynamics Receivables or Affiliate Receivables, respectively,
(i.e., interest charges collected on Eligible Receivables during
the month).
For each monthly period, General Dynamics each Qualified Affiliate, as
appropriate, the monthly costs as described in paragraph 5(e) (AGENCY -
SERVICING COSTS).
11. ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT FOR ACTUAL COLLECTIONS. After the end of each
calendar year, adjustments shall be made between General Dynamics and each
Qualified Affiliate, as applicable, and the Fund to reflect the Actual
Collection Days for such General Dynamics Receivables and Affiliate Receivables,
as the case may be, as experienced for each month of the expired year. As
described in Exhibit D (in which certain terms used hereinafter in this
paragraph are defined), an Adjusted Daily Income for the General Dynamics
Receivables and the applicable Affiliate Receivables shall be calculated based
on Actual Collection Days for such General Dynamics Receivables or Affiliate
Receivables, as appropriate, and an adjustment for the General Dynamics
Receivables and the applicable Affiliate Receivables shall be calculated by
multiplying the number of days in each month times the difference between Daily
Income and Adjusted Daily Income. The adjustments for each of the 12 months
shall be added, and a net credit or charge for the year shall be settled,
between General Dynamics or the applicable Qualified Affiliate and the Fund, on
or before the second Account Clearing Date of the new year.
12. UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. General Dynamics undertakes to hold the
Fund harmless from any risk of loss due to uncollectibility of General Dynamics
Receivables or Affiliate Receivables. Should any General Dynamics Receivables or
Affiliate Receivables be determined in accordance with General Dynamics's or
such Qualified Affiliate's normal business practices to be uncollectible, such
receivable shall no longer be deemed to be an Eligible Receivable, and
accordingly, the General Dynamics Percentage or the Affiliate Percentage in the
remaining General Dynamics Receivables or such Affiliate Receivables, as
appropriate, shall be increased in compensation therefor.
6
13. REPURCHASE. General Dynamics may, in the case of General Dynamics
Receivables, and may require the applicable Qualified Affiliate, in the case of
Affiliate Receivables, to repurchase all or any portion of General Dynamics
Share or Affiliate Share, as applicable, from time to time, provided, however,
that such a repurchase may be required only if necessary to provide funds for
withdrawals from the Fund pursuant to Section 607(g)(4) of the Merchant Marine
Act, 1936, as amended. Such repurchase shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph 3 (ELECTION AND ASSIGNMENT). An election shall be
executed and delivered by General Dynamics, and the repurchase shall be
evidenced by the execution and delivery of an instrument of repurchase in the
form set forth in Exhibit C.
14. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY General Dynamics AND EACH
QUALIFIED AFFILIATE. General Dynamics hereby represents and warrants and shall
cause each Qualified Affiliate to represent and warrant, in both cases to NASSCO
and the Fund as follows:

been conveyed or assigned to any other person, firm or
corporation;

of any third parties;
(e) at the time of assignment of an undivided interest in
