The purpose of this Agreement is to establish a teaming relationship among Bell, LM Aero, AAI and Textron Systems to cooperate in the pursuit and performance of the Program. The Program includes opportunities to provide prototypes, demonstrators, system design and development, production, derivatives, and logistics support to the U.S. Government and non-U.S. Government customers (collectively the “Customers”) under prime contracts and subcontracts. However, opportunities for direct contracts with customers in European Union countries are specifically excluded from the scope of this Agreement. Collectively, the Parties represent the core team for TEAM EAGLE EYE and are responsible for jointly pursuing Program Opportunities that offer a competitive solution to Customers with a requirement for a Vertical Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VTUAV) or Vertical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VUAV) that could be addressed with a Tiltrotor UAV.

This Agreement is intended to facilitate a cooperative working relationship among the Parties to define, prepare and submit coordinated proposals for each Program Opportunity.

2.0 Responsibilities of the Parties

The Parties will utilize reasonable efforts to establish fair work content for each Party for each Program Opportunity. It is the objective of the Parties that the work share relative to the prime contract value will approximate the following distribution for each Program Opportunity. As the Parties establish detailed strategies for each Program Opportunity, it is understood that performance relative to these objective percentages may vary with each Program Opportunity. In the event that cumulative contract efforts materially deviate from these objectives, the Parties will apply reasonable efforts to adjust work scope and allocations of future efforts to compensate for such deviations.

Bell – Prime

LM Aero – 20%

AAI – 20%

Textron Systems – 10%

4.0 Proposal Support

For each Program Opportunity, in which the Prime elects to participate, the Prime is expected to submit proposals to the Customer, to identify the other Parties as subcontractors for the applicable portions of the work contained therein (including their respective responsibilities), and to identify the proposed contractual relationship of the Parties.

For each Program Opportunity in which a Party elects to participate, it is anticipated that each participating Party will furnish, as reasonably required for incorporation into any final proposal, all proposal material pertinent to the work identified for the respective Parties, including but not limited to manuscripts, artwork, and if required by the Customer, cost or pricing data, as appropriate. It is also anticipated that each participating Party will furnish qualified personnel who will cooperate together in drafting a proposal and will work to ensure that proposal inputs are provided in accordance with the proposal schedule and requirements, as determined by the Prime. Although no Party is obligated to produce a proposal under this Agreement, if a Party

prepares a proposal for any Program Opportunity, that proposal may only be used in a manner consistent with the purposes and requirements of this Agreement.

If a Party prepares a proposal, that Party will exert reasonable efforts to cause the selection of the Prime and the acceptance of the other Parties as subcontractors and will continue to exert reasonable efforts toward this objective throughout any and all negotiations concerning a proposed contract or subcontract which may follow the submission of such proposal or proposals.

In the event that the Prime should be requested or is presented the opportunity to make oral or written presentations to interested Customers concerning the Program, the Parties will support such presentations as reasonably requested by the Prime, for those areas that relate to the Parties’ respective efforts.

Unless funded by the Customer, each Party will separately bear all costs, risks and liabilities incurred by it arising out of its obligations and efforts under this Agreement during pre-proposal and proposal efforts. No Party shall have any right to any reimbursement, payment or compensation of any kind from another Party during the period up to the award of the prime contract.

The Prime will have the sole right to decide the form and content of all documents submitted to the Customer; however, the Prime will afford each of the other Parties the opportunity to review the form and content of its respective sections of the proposal and will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the other Parties’ data is accurately portrayed. Each of the other Parties will offer the Prime advice and assistance, and will prepare the substantive content of its respective portion(s) of the proposal, as identified in Article 2.0. The Prime will provide each of the other Parties a copy of the proposal which was submitted to the Customer, less any Proprietary Information, including but not limited to cost or pricing data.

5.0 Subcontracting

Each Party will exert reasonable efforts to cause the selection of the Prime for the Program Opportunities and the acceptance of the other Parties as subcontractors for the Program Opportunities for the work identified in Article 2.0, as is reflected in the proposal(s).

If a prime contract is awarded as a result of the efforts of the Parties, the Prime will, to the extent permitted by the Customer and applicable government rules, regulations and law, enter into subcontract negotiations with the other Parties. The Prime will make every reasonable effort to subcontract to the other Parties that portion of the work set forth in Article 2.0, as was specifically set forth in the respective proposal. The work to be performed by the Parties will be in accordance with the prime contract including its schedule, specifications and requirements. The terms of the subcontracts will be generally consistent with and no more onerous than the

terms and conditions of the prime contract. It is agreed that said terms and conditions will not conflict with any applicable government rules, regulations, or laws.

Any subcontract entered into pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated for convenience of the Prime only if the Customer terminates the Prime’s contract for the Customer’s convenience in whole, or in part, provided, in the latter instance, such partial termination relates to the work to be performed by the subcontractor under the subcontract, or in any case, if such termination for convenience of the subcontract is formally recommended to the Prime by the Customer.

At Prime’s discretion, negotiations for subcontracts shall commence and be concluded prior to its submission of a response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) tor a Program. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on terms and conditions to enable Prime to be in a position to respond to the RFP and flow down its obligations under a prime contract. Subcontract negotiations are to be concluded within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90 days from commencement of negotiation unless a further extension of time is mutually agreed to by the Parties.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of a subcontract and this Agreement, the subcontract shall prevail.

Nothing contained herein is intended to affect the rights of the Customer to negotiate directly with any of the Parties hereto on any basis the Customer may desire.

Except for the Business Development Lead roles addressed in Article 3.0, it is agreed that the Prime shall be the primary contact with the Customer concerning the Program.
