     This lease is made and entered into for a term of five years commencing
November 7, 1969, and ending November 6, 1974.

                                       3.

     The rental to be paid by Company to Vincent shall be a total of
Thirty-three thousand and no/100 dollars ($33,000.00) for the five (5) year
period which shall be paid Three thousand ($3,000) in cash upon signing of lease
and sixty (60) equal installments of Five hundred dollars ($500) monthly in

                                       4.

     All rentals to be paid by Company under this lease shall be paid to Vincent
by depositing the same to his credit in Calcasieu Marine National Bank, Sulphur,
Louisiana, or its successor, which is hereby designated and may hereinafter be
referred to as the "Depository Bank" of Vincent and which is hereby
constituted his agent to receive said funds, or at such other depository bank as
Vincent may from time to time designate in writing to Company. Payment of the
rentals to Vincent shall be deemed to have been made as of the date that the
Depository Bank receives Company's check. Should Vincent assign or convey all or
a part of the leased premises or the rentals herefrom, the rentals shall be
apportioned in accordance with the interest assigned and conveyed, but said
assignments and conveyances shall not be binding upon Company until 15 days
after Company has received: (a) a certificate of change of ownership executed by
all of the owners of Vincent's interest and showing upon its face the name and
address of the then owner or owners, their interest and the nature of their
interest and the amount of lease rentals to be paid to them respectively, as
well as the designation of a Depository Bank in which the lease rentals or a
portion thereof may be deposited to the respective owners of the interests shown
thereon: (b) a certified copy of the recorded instrument or instruments
evidencing such change of ownership.

                                       5.

     Company may use the leased property for any industrial, commercial or other
lawful purposes, and may construct thereon any and all improvements which in its
discretion are deemed appropriate, including without limitation reshaping of the
contour of the land, construction and laying of foundations, erection of
buildings and other structures, and the installation of fixtures, equipment and
machinery.

                                       6.

     Company shall have the full and exclusive authority during the term of this
lease to grant servitudes on, over and across the leased property on such terms
and conditions, and containing such provisions, as in

                                       1

its sole discretion are deemed desirable, and shall be entitled to the
compensation, if any, paid for such servitudes, provided that the term of each
servitude voluntarily granted by Company shall expire upon the expiration or
termination of this lease, and provided that any servitude to continue for a
term longer than the term of this lease can be granted only by both Vincent and
Company, reserving to each their respective rights to the compensation paid or
awarded therefor.

     At the expiration or termination of this lease, Vincent shall have the
option to require removal, at the expense of the servitude owner, of all
equipment installed under any servitudes granted solely by Company, or to allow
such equipment to remain in place; failure by Vincent to act on this option
within 60 days following the expiration or termination of this lease shall be
deemed the election by Vincent to allow the equipment to remain in place.

                                       7.

     Vincent shall promptly pay all taxes and special assessments on the land
leased herein, and Company shall promptly pay all taxes on the buildings and
other improvements constructed or installed thereon, and shall pay all utility
bills relating to its use of the property.

                                       8.

     At the termination or expiration of this lease for any reason, Company may,
but shall not be required to, remove any or all buildings, structures, and other
improvements of any kind, as well as any or all fixtures, equipment and
machinery, which it has constructed or installed thereon, whether movable,
immovable or fixed. It is agreed by Company that in event they elect to remove
all or any part of the buildings, structures, fixtures, equipment machinery and
any other improvements of any kind, they shall not remove any part of the dock
structure and agree that title to same shall be transferred to Vincent. Any
removals must be accomplished by Company within 180 days after termination or
expiration of the lease for any reason, and failure by Company timely to
complete such removals shall vest in Vincent full title to all buildings,
structures, improvements, fixtures, equipment, machinery and other property
remaining on the leased premises.

                                       9.

     At the termination or expiration of this lease, Company shall deliver up
the leased premises in good order and condition, except for natural
deterioration and damage by fires, tornado or other casualty, the removal of
fixtures, equipment and machinery, and the elements; in any event, Company shall
deliver the leased premises to Vincent free of trash and rubbish, and shall
backfill and level all pits and excavations created by the removal of buildings,
structures, improvements, fixtures, equipment, machinery and other property.

                                      10.

     Company shall properly execute and fulfill all the ordinances, rules and
regulations of any governmental agency applicable to the leased premises because
of its use of said premises, and all orders and requirements imposed by the
Board of Health, Sanitary and Police Departments, for the correction, prevention
and abatement of nuisances in or upon or connected with the premises because of
Company's use thereof during the term of the lease, all at Company's expense.

                                      11.

     Company may assign this lease or sub-let the leased premises or any
portions thereof, however, it shall remain liable to Vincent under all the
terms, conditions, covenants and obligations of this lease. Vincent may sell or
transfer the land herein described, in which event, his transferee shall assume
the obligations of Vincent.

                                      12.

     Vincent shall not be liable to Company or to Company's employees, patrons
or visitors, or to any other person for any damage to person or property caused
by any act, omission or neglect of Company or any

                                       2

other tenant of the leased premises, and Company agrees to hold Vincent harmless
from all claims for any such damage, whether the injury occurs on or off the
leased premises.

                                      13.

     If Company should default for a period of 15 days in the payment of any
installment of the rentals or taxes, and if such default should continue for a
period of 30 days after written notice of such default and request for
compliance having been given Company by Vincent (with a copy of said notice to
any mortgagee of Company for whom a mailing address has theretofore been left
with Vincent for such purposes herein provided), Vincent may at any time
thereafter during the continuance of said default, at his election, declare this
lease cancelled and terminated.

     If Company should default for a period of ten (10) days in the performance
of any of its convenants or obligations other than those set forth in the
immediately preceding paragraph, and if such default shall continue for a period
of ninety (90) days after written notice of such default and request for
compliance having been given Company by Vincent (with a copy of said notice to
any mortgagee of Company for whom a mailing address has heretofore been left
with Vincent for such purposes as herein provided) -- or if Company is timely
and diligently pursuing all legal remedies to secure compliance with the terms
of this lease, such ninety (90) day period of time shall be extended for such
additional period of time, and for only such period of time as Company is
proceeding timely and with due diligence in the exercise of all legal remedies
available to Company to secure compliance with the terms of this
lease -- Vincent may at any time thereafter during the continuance of said
default, at his election, declare this lease cancelled and terminated.

     If Vincent elects to declare this lease cancelled and terminated as
provided above, Company shall pay Vincent all past due rental and, as liquidated
damages, a sum equal to all of the rental which would become due under the lease
for the unexpired term if the lease should have remained in full force and
effect, and Vincent's lessor's lien shall remain in full force and effect on and
against all property on the leased property to secure payment of said claims.

                                      14.

     If Company shall at any time during the term hereof be adjudged a bankrupt,
or shall make a voluntary assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a
receiver of Company shall be appointed, or if this lease shall by operation of
law devolve on or pass to another person, or persons, other than Company, or any
of its successors and assigns, sub-tenants, sub-lessees, mortgages or other lien
holders, then and in each of said cases:

     (a)  If there be only one lessee and there be a mortgage of this lease,
then this lease shall thereupon be deemed ipso facto assigned to said mortgagee;
or

     (b)  If there be more than one lessee, the interest of each lessee involved
in any of said proceedings shall thereupon be deemed ipso facto assigned in
equal shares to the other lessees; or

     (c)  if there be only one lessee, and no mortgagee of lessee and if there
be a sub-lessee of lessee, this lease shall thereupon be deemed ipso facto
assigned to the sub-lessee of lessee holding the first sub-lease in point of
time subject to any other subleases then in force;

     (d)  if there be only one lessee, and if there be no mortgagee of lessee or
sub-lessee of lessee, this lease shall thereupon ipso facto terminate and come
to an end; and if this lease should so terminate, Company shall pay Vincent all
past due rental and, as liquidated damages, a sum equal to all of the rental
which would become due under the lease for the unexpired term if the lease
should have remained in full force and effect, and Vincent's lessor's lien shall
remain in full force and effect on and against all property on the leased
property to secure payment of said claims.

                                      15.

     Should Company mortgage or otherwise encumber the leasehold estate created
hereby or any buildings, structures, improvements, fixtures, equipment,
machinery, or other property, upon the leased premises, Company shall give
Vincent written notice thereof and the name and address of such mortgages;

                                       3

and thereafter, while said mortgages or other encumbrances are in force, Vincent
shall give said mortgagees a duplicate copy of any and all notices of default or
other notices in writing which Vincent may give or serve upon Company pursuant
to the terms of this lease. A different address may be designated by such
mortgagees by written notice delivered to Vincent from time to time. Any such
mortgagees may, at their option, at any time before the rights of Company shall
have been forfeited to Vincent, as provided for in this lease, pay any of the
rents or other sums of money herein stipulated to be paid by Company or do any
other act or thing required of Company by the terms of this lease; and all
payments so made and all things so done or performed by any such mortgagees
shall be as effective to prevent a forfeiture of the rights of Company hereunder
as the same would have been if done and performed by Company instead of by any
such mortgagees. Any such mortgages or encumbrances so given by Company may
provide that, as between any such mortgages and Company, said mortgagee, on
making good and performing any such default or defaults on the part of Company,
shall be thereby subrogated to any and all of the rights of Company under the
terms and provisions of this lease. No such mortgagee of the rights and
interests of Company hereunder shall be or become entitled to be treated by
Vincent as an assignee of this lease until such time as said mortgagee shall by
foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof, or as the
result of any other action or by proper conveyance from Company, acquire the
rights and interests of Company under the terms of this lease.

                                      16.

     It is agreed and understood that any holding over by the Company of the
leased premises after the expiration of this lease shall operate and be
construed as a month to month lease at a rental to be negotiated.

                                      17.

     Company shall have the right to renew this lease for nine (9) additional
terms of five (5) years each by giving notice of its election to renew at least
ninety (90) days before the end of the primary term or the end of any extended
term of the lease. Renewals shall be on the same conditions and under the same
covenants, except that the rental shall be paid monthly in advance as follows:


                       74 - 79 -- 1st renewal  $550 per month
                       79 - 84 -- 2nd renewal  $561 per month
                       84 - 89 -- 3rd renewal  $595 per month
                  89 - 11/6/94 -- 4th renewal  $631 per month
             11/9/94 - 11/6/99 -- 5th renewal  $673 per month
                11/9/99 - 2004 -- 6th renewal  $713 per month
              11/9/2004 - 2009 -- 7th renewal  $761 per month
                   2009 - 2014 -- 8th renewal  $806 per month
                   2014 - 2019 -- 9th renewal  $854 per month

                                      18.

     Provided Company is not in default with the terms, conditions and covenants
of this lease which it is perform, then Vincent guarantees Company quiet
enjoyment of the leased premises during the term of this lease.

                                      19.

     No waver by Vincent of any default or breach of any term, covenant,
condition, agreement, provision, or stipulation herein contained shall be
treated as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach of the same or any other
term, covenant, condition, agreement, provision, or stipulation hereof.

                                      20.

     All notices required in this lease shall be given in writing and by
registered or certified mail. Notice to Vincent shall be sent to him at Route 1,
