Under the terms of the MOU, Quickstep would supply 21 different F-35 components. The parts would then
be exported to the United States for incorporation into F-35s globally. The manufacturing program is planned
to last between 20 and 30 years and generate annual turnover of up to $50 million by 2015.

Commenting on the announcement, Quickstep Chief Executive Philippe Odouard said: ?The signing of this
Manufacturing License Agreement will establish an essential transfer of data between Quickstep and Northrop
Grumman to enable Quickstep to complete the final preparations for the planned signing of the Long Term
Agreement for F-35 manufacturing in the second quarter of 2010. This is a key step for Quickstep along the
road to aerospace manufacturing.?
