                                     BETWEEN
            RAYTHEON AIRCRAFT PARTS INVENTORY & DISTRIBUTION COMPANY
                                       AND
                           RAYTHEON AEROSPACE COMPANY

                                      -----

THIS PART SALES AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of the 27th
day of June, 2001 ("Effective Date"), by and between Raytheon Aircraft Parts
Inventory & Distribution Company, a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Kansas, with principal offices located at 10511 E. Central
Avenue, Wichita, Kansas 67206 ("RAPID") and Raytheon Aerospace Company, a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Kansas, with
principal offices located at 10511 E. Central Avenue, Wichita, Kansas 67206
("RA") (each of whom may be referred to hereafter as a "Party", or collectively
as the "Parties").

                                    Recitals:

WHEREAS, RAPID is engaged in the business of aircraft spare and replacement
parts sales and related services;

WHEREAS, RA is engaged in the business of providing aircraft maintenance,
support and related services to government and commercial customers;

WHEREAS, RA desires to obtain from RAPID certain price terms for spare and
replacement parts in connection with those programs that, as of the Effective
Date of this Agreement, RA is contractually obligated to perform, or will become
contractually obligated to perform if RA's customers exercise options contained
in existing contracts ("Pending Programs"); and,

WHEREAS, RAPID is willing to provide such price terms in connection with Pending
Programs, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency
of which is acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:

1.0    PURPOSE.

1.1    The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth certain price terms between
       RAPID and RA which shall apply in connection with Pending Programs.

<Page>

2.0    PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS.

2.1    COMMERCIAL SPARES PRICING. In connection with Pending Programs, RAPID
       agrees to sell RA commercial spare and replacement parts at a price that
       shall not exceed that which it is then offering to Raytheon Aircraft
       Company Authorized Service Centers for similar quantities under similar
       contractual terms and conditions.

2.2    MILITARY UNIQUE PARTS. In connection with Pending Programs, RAPID agrees
       to sell RA military unique parts at a price that shall not exceed that
       which it is then offering to the U.S. government (using the then
       applicable RAPID military pricing formula) for similar quantities under
       similar contractual terms and conditions.

2.3    T-1A PROGRAM PARTS. In connection with the T-1A CLS Pending Program,
       RAPID will rebate a total of $120,000 per contract year to RA (not to
       exceed an aggregate total of $1,200,000 during the 10 potential years of
       the contract); provided that, RA, not later than November 1 of each
       one-year option period, places a single order for its total program
       requirements for those fabricated parts identified in Schedule B that
       will be required during that option period. Those fabricated parts
       identified in Schedule B shall be priced in accordance with paragraphs
       2.1 or 2.2, as applicable. The intent of this requirement is to allow
       RAPID to obtain the benefit of certain manufacturing and related
       efficiencies associated with an annual requirements order. The foregoing
       notwithstanding, in the event the total dollar amount of any annual
       requirements order placed by RA is eighty percent (80%) or less than the
       total dollar amount of the annual requirements order last entered into
       before the Effective Date of this Agreement, RA shall not be entitled to
       the total rebate amount for any such reduced annual requirements order
       and will be entitled only to that portion of the total rebate amount that
       the Parties shall, in good faith, mutually agree upon.

2.4    FOLLOW-ON PROGRAMS. RAPID shall, subject to a mutually agreeable
       sucontract or subcontracts, make available to RA commercial spare parts
       and military unique parts at those prices established by paragraphs 2.1
       and 2.2, respectively, in the event RA is the successful offeror in any
       recompetition of the Navy T-34/T-44 CLS Program (Item 1in Schedule A) or
       the JPATS T-6A CLS Program (Item 5 in Schedule A) which is conducted by
       the U.S. government on or before December 31, 2005.

2.5    PAYMENT TERMS. The following payment terms shall apply to all sales under
       this agreement, (a) all invoices sent to RA during the period beginning
       on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 18 months from the date
       hereof, shall be promptly paid in cash within 60 days of the receipt of
       such invoices, (b) all invoices sent to RA during the period beginning on
       the day that following the date that is 18 months from the date hereof
       and ending on the date that is 90 days from

                                                                               2
<Page>

       the date that is 18 months from the date hereof, shall be promptly paid
       in cash within 45 days of the receipt of such invoices, and (c) all other
       invoices shall be promptly paid in cash within 30 days of the receipt of
       such invoices.

3.0    PENDING PROGRAMS.

3.1    The Pending Programs to which this Agreement shall apply are set forth in
       Schedule A, hereto.

4.0    TERM AND EXPIRY.

4.1    This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date set forth above.

4.2    This Agreement shall expire with respect to each Pending Program upon the
       expiration or termination of said Pending Program. Upon the expiration or
       termination of the last executory Pending Program, this Agreement shall
       be deemed expired in its entirety.

5.0    INSPECTION AND AUDIT.

5.1    RAPID may, upon reasonable notice to RA, inspect and audit RA's books and
       records as may be necessary to determine that those parts sold to RA at
       price terms established by this Agreement have been utilized only in
       connection with Pending Programs. RA agrees to make such books and
       records available to RA for inspection and audit at reasonable times and
       places and to otherwise cooperate with any such inspection and audit.

6.0    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

6.1    IN THE EVENT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NONBREACHING PARTY
       SHALL BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATORY DAMAGES ONLY. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE
       LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY, AS A RESULT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT,
       FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, MULTIPLE, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES,
       WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

7.0    DISPUTES.

7.1    In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, each Party's
       business unit or department most responsible for its company's
       performance under this Agreement shall endeavor in good faith to amicably
       resolve the dispute. In the event the dispute cannot be resolved by such
       efforts, resolution of the dispute shall be escalated to senior
       management within each company in the effort to reach an amicable
       conclusion.

                                                                               3
<Page>

7.2    In the event the dispute cannot be resolved as set forth in paragraph
       7.1, the dispute shall be finally settled in accordance with the
       Commercial Rules, then prevailing, of the American Arbitration
       Association ("AAA").

7.3    Each Party expressly agrees not to institute any litigation or
       proceedings (whether judicial, administrative or otherwise) against the
       other Party except as specifically provided herein; provided however,
       nothing herein shall be construed as preventing or limiting either Party
       from seeking injunctive relief to preserve any right or benefit under
       this Agreement until arbitration can be concluded.

7.4    Arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators. Each
       Party shall nominate one arbitrator. If a Party fails to nominate an
       arbitrator within sixty (60) days from the date when a claimant's request
       for arbitration has been communicated by the other Party, such
       appointment shall be made by the AAA. The two arbitrators thus appointed
       shall attempt to agree on a third arbitrator who shall act as Chair. If
       the two arbitrators fail to nominate a Chair within sixty (60) days from
       the date of appointment of the latter arbitrator, the Chair will be
       selected by the AAA.

7.5    The location of the arbitration shall be Wichita, Kansas U.S.A.
       Arbitration shall be conducted the English language.

7.6    The arbitrators may award compensatory damages to either Party, BUT UNDER
       NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THEY AWARD INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, MULTIPLE,
       PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.

7.7    Judgment on the award made by the arbitrators may be entered in any court
       having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over one or more of
       the Parties or their assets.

8.0    COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

8.1    The Parties understand and acknowledge that sale and delivery of aircraft
       spare and replacements is or may be subject to the export laws and
       regulations of the United States. RA shall comply with all applicable
       export laws and regulations and shall handle, safeguard and protect such
       parts from unauthorized export.

8.2    In the event that RAPID reasonably believes that the providing of spare
       or replacement parts will or may violate any law or regulation of the
       United States, RAPID shall notify RA and RAPID shall thereupon have no
       obligation to provide such parts until and unless RA demonstrates or
       provides evidence reasonable under the circumstances that any such law or
       regulation would not be violated by the providing of such parts.

                                                                               4

9.1    Either Party may terminate this Agreement prior to expiration, upon the
       other Party's substantial and material breach of any obligation arising
       hereunder, and such other Party's failure to cure said breach within
       thirty (30) days following the receipt of written notice, or such longer
       period of time as may be required to cure a breach which cannot
       reasonably be cured within thirty (30) calendar days.

9.2    Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 9.1, either
       Party may seek redress in accordance with the provisions of section 7.0,
       DISPUTES.

       obligations under this Agreement when such delay is caused or created by
       circumstances beyond its control. Such circumstances include, but are not
       limited to: acts of force majeure; inability to obtain or retain
       government licenses, permits or approvals; interruption of essential
       services; or, any action or inaction by either Party which creates a
       delay in the other Party meeting any schedule required by this Agreement.

10.2   In the event either Party is delayed by any of the causes set forth in
       paragraph 10.1, its period of performance shall be extended as may be
       reasonably necessary under the circumstances.

THIS TECHNICAL INFORMATION LICENSE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered
into as of the 27th day of June, 2001 ("Effective Date"), by and between
Raytheon Aircraft Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws
of the State of Kansas, with principal offices located at 9709 E. Central

offices located at 10511 E. Central Avenue, Wichita, Kansas 67206 ("LICENSEE")
(each of whom may be referred to hereafter as a "Party", or collectively as the
"Parties").

                                    RECITALS:

WHEREAS, LICENSOR is engaged in the business of aircraft manufacturing,
including the manufacture of general aviation and military unique aircraft, and
owns certain technical and engineering information relating to such aircraft,
said information being proprietary to LICENSOR;

WHEREAS, LICENSEE is engaged in the business of providing aircraft maintenance,
support and related services to government and commercial customers;

WHEREAS, LICENSEE has obtained, from time to time in the past, technical and
engineering information from LICENSOR to assist LICENSEE in the performance of
various programs for its customers, including certain programs that, as of the
Effective Date of this Agreement, LICENSEE is contractually obligated to perform
("Pending Programs");

WHEREAS, LICENSEE desires to obtain, from time to time in the future, technical
and engineering information from LICENSOR to assist LICENSEE in connection with
such Pending Programs ("Pending Program Technical Information" or "PPTI"); and,

WHEREAS, LICENSOR is willing to continue providing such PPTI to LICENSEE in
connection with Pending Programs, subject to the terms and conditions contained
herein.

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency
of which is acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:

<Page>

1.0    PURPOSE.

1.1    The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions
       which shall apply to the licensing of PPTI by LICENSOR to LICENSEE in
       support of Pending Programs.

2.0    PENDING PROGRAM TECHNICAL INFORMATION.

2.1    PPTI subject to this Agreement is the following:

       A. All technical and engineering information provided by LICENSOR to
          LICENSEE prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement that is
          reasonably required to perform any Pending Program; and,

       B. All technical and engineering information provided by LICENSOR to
          LICENSEE subsequent to the Effective Date of this Agreement to assist
          LICENSEE in the performance of any Pending Program.

2.2    For the avoidance of doubt, PPTI does not include the following:

       A. Any technical or engineering information that LICENSOR may have
          provided to LICENSEE at any time in the past that is not reasonably
          required to perform any Pending Program;

       B. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 3.2 herein below, any
          information that LICENSEE may desire to obtain in support of any
          future program, contract or opportunity that is not a Pending Program;
          or,

       C. Any manual, bulletin, instruction or similar document concerning the
          operation, maintenance or repair of LICENSOR's products that LICENSOR
          makes available to the general public.

3.0    PENDING PROGRAMS.

3.1    The Pending Programs to which this Agreement shall apply are set forth in
       Schedule A, hereto.

3.2    The rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall extend to
       and include any follow-on contract awarded to RA by the U.S. government
       for the Navy T-34/T-44 CLS Program (Item 1 in Schedule A) or the JPATS
       T-6A CLS Program (Item 5 in Schedule A); provided however, any such
       contract results from a Request for Proposal or other solicitation issued
       by the U.S. government on or before December 31, 2005. In the event
       either or both such follow-on contracts are awarded to RA as set forth in
       this paragraph 3.2, it or they shall be considered to be Pending Programs
       for all purposes associated with this Agreement.

4.0    LICENSE GRANTED.

4.1    Subject to such other qualifications, limitations and restrictions as are
       contained in this Agreement, LICENSOR hereby grants to LICENSEE a
       personal, nonexclusive, worldwide license, to use PPTI for purposes of
       performance of Pending Programs ("License"). The License hereby granted
       shall be without the right to further sublicense. Except as provide in
       paragraph 17.12, the License hereby granted is non-transferable and
       non-assignable.

4.2    LICENSEE covenants and agrees that PPTI shall not be used for any other
       purpose other than that set forth in paragraph 4.1, unless agreed to by
       LICENSOR in a separate writing.

5.0    ROYALTIES; FEES AND COSTS.

5.1    The License granted by LICENSOR to LICENSEE pursuant to this Agreement
       shall be royalty free; provided however, nothing set forth herein shall
       be interpreted or construed as preventing or limiting LICENSOR from
       requiring the payment of mutually acceptable royalties for the furnishing
       of any technical or engineering information or the use thereof when
       requested by LICENSEE for programs, contracts or opportunities that are
       not Pending Programs.

5.2    In the event LICENSEE should request, subsequent to the Effective Date of
       this Agreement, PPTI from LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall pay LICENSOR as
       follows: (1) LICENSEE shall pay for those labor hours expended by
       LICENSOR in the locating, reproducing and shipping of PPTI at LICENSOR's
       then prevailing composite rate for administrative staff; and, (2) any

       revise, modify, reformat or translate PPTI as it then may exist in

8.1    LICENSEE understands and acknowledges that the PPTI is proprietary to
       LICENSOR. LICENSEE hereby agrees that the License granted by this
       Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations in addition to
       any other limitations set forth herein:

       A. PPTI shall be used solely by LICENSEE directly in connection with
          Pending Programs and shall not otherwise be used for the benefit of
          LICENSEE or others;

       B. PPTI shall not be disclosed to any third party, without the prior
          written permission of LICENSOR; provided however, LICENSEE may
          disclose PPTI to the U.S. government as may be reasonably required by
          any Pending Program. In the event PPTI is disclosed to the U.S.
          government, LICENSEE shall mark or otherwise identify it as being
          subject to Limited Rights or Restricted Rights, as appropriate, as set
          forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulations, including any applicable
          supplements thereto; and,

       expiration of the final remaining Pending Program, the License granted by
       this Agreement shall be ended and LICENSEE shall make no further use
       whatsoever of the PPTI. The obligation of confidentiality and the
       restriction on other uses of PPTI set forth in paragraph 8.1 shall
       continue for a period of ten (10) years following the expiration of this
       Agreement, or if this Agreement should be terminated prior to expiration
       pursuant to paragraph 14.1, the obligation of confidentiality set forth
       in paragraph 8.1 shall continue for a period of ten (10) years following
       such termination.

10.0   WARRANTIES DISCLAIMED.

10.1   NO WARRANTY, GUARANTEE OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO PPTI OR ITS
       SUITABILITY FOR THE PURPOSES CONTEMPLATED BY LICENSEE IS MADE BY
       LICENSOR, AND LICENSEE SHALL RELY SOLELY ITS OWN EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE
       IN DETERMINING WHETHER PPTI IS SUITABLE AND SUFFICIENT FOR LICENSEE'S
       INTENDED PURPOSES. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, LICENSOR DISCLAIMS AND
       LICENSEE WAIVES

       proceedings (whether judicial, administrative or otherwise) against the
       other Party except as specifically provided herein; provided however,

       from seeking injunctive relief to preserve any right or benefit under
       this Agreement until arbitration can be concluded.

12.4   Arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators. Each
       Party shall nominate one arbitrator. If a Party fails to nominate an

       appointment shall be made by the AAA. The two arbitrators thus appointed

13.2   In the event that LICENSOR reasonably believes that the providing of PPTI
       will or may violate any law or regulation of the United States, LICENSOR
       shall notify LICENSEE and LICENSOR shall thereupon have no obligation to
       provide PPTI until and unless LICENSEE demonstrates or provides evidence
       reasonable under the circumstances that any such law or regulation would
       not be violated by the providing of PPTI.

14.0   TERMINATION.

14.1   Either Party may terminate this Agreement and the License hereby granted

       limited to: acts of force majeure; inability to obtain or retain
       government licenses, permits or approvals; interruption of essential
       services; or, any action or inaction by either Party which creates a
       delay in the other Party meeting any schedule required by this Agreement.
