ADEQUACY OF BUYER OR CUSTOMER FURNISHED TOOLING. Tooling furnished by Buyer or Buyer's Customer is provided as an aid for fabricating parts and does not relieve Seller of responsibility of proving the adequacy of all tooling. Any discrepancy found in such tooling must be immediately reported to Buyer. 14. INSPECTION. Inspection of all tools manufactured or acquired by Seller and/or Seller's subcontractors shall be Seller's responsibility. Tools will be inspected to applicable data (engineering data, engineering drawing, mater layouts, tool designs, tool specifications, control tools, etc.) as specified in the purchase order and prior to release for production use. Seller's Quality system will assure the inspection and recording of all dimensions and features of a tool into an inspection record.

All Seller inspection records will be made available for review by Buyer tool source inspection personnel. Seller will provide facilities, equipment and assistance as may be reasonably required by Buyer tool inspection personnel in the performance of their duties. Tools requiring progressive acceptance or incremental release should be identified by Seller and an inspection plan established with Buyer tool inspection. Seller will document all tooling anomalies, request for deviation or wavier, and other nonconformances identified during or subsequent to Seller's tool manufacturing and acceptance process. The nonconformance documentation will become part of the tool inspection package. All equipment used to verify the acceptability of tooling is required to be calibrated and controlled. Seller's responsibility will include function, durability, and accuracy of all tools to produce parts and /or assemblies within the limits of specifications and tolerances of the engineering drawings. Tool source inspection or monitoring by Buyer does not relieve Seller's contractual responsibility nor does it guarantee acceptance of the tool at it's destination. 15. MODIFICATIONS OR CHANGES TO TOOLING. Following first article inspection, Seller shall make no modifications, remakes, or readjustments of established tool registration points without first notifying Buyer's Procurement Representative and receiving written authorization from Buyer to proceed with the intended changes. When approved, Seller shall perform a first article dimensional inspection of the part and forward a copy of the completed first article report and the part used for the first article (tagged with the notation "First Article Inspection Required") to Buyer. Whenever a tool number is changed, a new BLTSN and multiple-unit number will be assigned to the tooling. If an engineering change results in a question of tool rework feasibility, Seller shall review the tool to determine the action to be taken and coordination requirements to related or master tools. Seller must retain sufficient tooling to produce interchangeable items, replaceable items, end-item spares and/or replacement assemblies. When possible, the tool should be reworked to produce the new part and, with minor conversion, the old spare part also. If it is not possible to produce parts to a dual configuration, Seller will notify Buyer's Procurement Representative who will issue instructions whether Seller is to proceed with rework of the existing tool, or retain it for fabrication of additional spares requirements and build a new tool. 16. RESTORATION OF SELLER'S PREMISES AND ABANDONMENT. Unless otherwise provided herein, Buyer or Buyer's Customer: A. May abandon, with written advice to Seller, any tooling in place, and thereupon all obligations of Buyer or Buyer's PAGE 6 OF 7

7 Customer regarding such abandoned tooling shall cease. B. Has no obligation to Seller with regard to restoration or rehabilitation costs. 17. SUBCONTRACTING. Buyer may at any time during the performance of this Order, review and approve Seller's make-or-buy and subcontract solicitation plan(s) for tooling that: A. Involves Offset Credit; B. Is designated critical by Buyer or Buyer's Customer because of process requirements, manufacturing complexity; or C. Exceeds twenty million U.S. Dollars ($20,000,000) in value (subject to prior written approval by Buyer and Buyer's Customer). Approval or disapproval by Buyer or Buyer's Customer of Seller's make-or-buy or subcontract solicitation plan(s) and any action taken by Buyer or Buyer's Customer in connection with the qualification of subcontractors shall not be construed as relieving Seller of any of its obligations under this Order. 18. SHIPMENTS. Upon shipment of tooling directed by Buyer's Procurement Representative, Seller will: A. Originate appropriate shipping documentation as directed by Buyer s written authorization when tooling under the control of Seller is shipped to another location and the control no longer rests with Seller. Package tools in accordance with the best commercial practice to ensure protection. B. Submit a copy of this documentation to Buyer, upon actual shipment. C. Ensure all tools are clearly and correctly identified on documentation and the packing sheet bears a statement certifying the tools are in a useable condition. Place one copy of the shipping documentation inside the shipping container and attach one copy to the outside of the container. D. Include in tool shipments as required, manufacturing records and/or tool drawings, as instructed by Buyer. E. Advise Buyer, prior to relocation and/or shipment of any tool affecting configuration of an interchangeable end item. PAGE 7 OF 7
