NOTE: First Article verification of parts to undimensioned drawings will require
overlay of the part to a PCM (Photo Contact Master) commonly referred to as a
full size mylar. It should be noted that the center of the lines defining parts
as drawn on the PCM are considered nominal. When using PCM'S for First Article
verification it is important to check the accuracy of the PCM using the grid
lines. PCM grid accuracy shall be in accordance with BDS-1090. PCM'S not meeting
the Grid accuracy may not be used for part acceptance and should be returned for
replacement. FAI reports provided by supplier to Northrop Quality representative
should reference PCM accuracy as a dimensional callout, part acceptance for
undimensioned characteristics can be recorded as attribute data (i.e., Periphery
measured by overlay to PCM).

A detailed First Article Inspection report signed by the supplier's Quality
Assurance representative shall be provided to Northrop Grumman Quality Assurance
representative for review. The report, as a minimum, shall contain the following
items, and shall be kept at supplier's facility as a part of permanent records
for seven years:

1.  Purchase Order Number, drawing revision, process specification including
revision and PSD (Process Spec Departure) used.

2.  Verification of each dimension/characteristics to the
engineering/specification and recording of actual measurement/results.

3.  Verification of manufacturing plan, tooling and processes.

4.  Inspection and calibration of check fixture, if applicable.

Acceptance of First Article does not relieve supplier of its obligation to
manufacture all subsequent products in accordance with applicable descriptions,
specifications, drawings and work statements. Part requiring "Production Prove"
shall be noted on purchase order and will require, in addition to normal
identification required by drawing, the work "Production Prove" applied to all
parts.

Manufacturing Plan - Supplier shall develop a manufacturing plan and inspection
plan which includes all sequential operations and processes needed to
manufacture, assemble, and inspect parts called out on the purchase order. The
plan shall include references to process specifications, inspection steps,
measurement points for key characteristics and major manufacturing process. The
plan shall contain sufficient detail for Supplier to be able to provide adequate
objective evidence of purchase order compliance and shall be reviewed by
Northrop Grumman Quality field representative on an audit basis.

Supplier Certification - Supplier must certify to all material and process
requirements designated by reference in specification noted on the engineering
drawing. Processes for

                                      -13-

<PAGE>
specification designated in Boeing document Dl-4426 shall be performed by
suppliers or sources approved in accordance with Dl-4426. When required by
specification, quantitative test reports will be traceable to the lot(s) being
manufactured. All quality records will be maintained for a minimum of seven
years at supplier's facility and will be subject to examination by Northrop.
Certificate of Conformance form (previously 31-500 now superseded by CD-4020) is
not required with each shipment after First Article approval. Reference Cashmere
MFG. CO exemption memorandum 56OM/95/QS/034 dated 21 February 1995 from Buyer's
Quality Assurance Representative. Buyer may reincorporate this requirement if
Supplier's system to maintain certification for traceability is deemed to be
undisciplined. Also, the supplier shall assure that all personnel/equipment meet
qualification/certifications as required by process specification.

Purchase Order Review - Supplier shall, after receipt of an order and prior to
beginning work, contact the Northrop quality assurance representative to review
the requirements of the purchase order, if necessary. This review is intended to
develop communication with the QA representative and the Supplier to facilitate
the understanding of purchase order quality requirements.

Drawing Revision - Drawings and ADCN'S listed on the purchase order and the
attached planing sheet are updated only when there is a change to the
configuration of the noted part number. Part configuration is defined by the
C995 notes on the planning control sheet. Supplier is authorized to work to the
drawing revision level noted on the purchase order or to a higher revision
drawing supplied by Northrop. If any ADCN'S or drawing revisions change the
configuration of the part and are not called out on purchase order or planning
control sheet, the Buyer should be notified immediately for written
authorization.

Synthetic Part Numbers per C995 Notes - Any basic number -XXX-01 is the same as
the basic number -XXX, Except as noted in the C995 manufacturing notes. The
basic number -XXX-01 is a NGCAD internal planning control number, which is not
shown on the engineering drawing parts list.
