under the Purchase Agreement), Customer will reimburse Boeing for all costs
incurred by Boeing as a result of the delay.

 

Article 7. Excusable Delay.

 

7.1 General. Boeing will not be liable for any delay in the scheduled delivery
month of an aircraft or other performance under a purchase agreement caused by

priorities; (iv) fires, floods, or earthquakes; (v) strikes or labor troubles

appraisal of the facts.

is more than 12 months after the scheduled delivery month, either party may
terminate the applicable purchase agreement with respect to such aircraft within
30 days of the notice. If either party does not terminate the applicable
purchase agreement with respect to such aircraft, all terms and conditions of
the applicable purchase agreement will remain in effect.

 

7.5 Aircraft Damaged Beyond Repair. If an aircraft is destroyed or damaged
beyond repair for any reason before delivery, Boeing will within 5 days of the
occurrence of such event or the determination that such aircraft has been
damaged beyond repair, whichever is later, give written notice to Customer of
the occurrence of such event, which notice shall specify the earliest month
possible, consistent with Boeing’s other contractual commitments and production
capabilities, in which Boeing can deliver a replacement. Customer will have 60

damaged beyond repair), except that the remaining advance payment schedule will
be adjusted to reflect the revised delivery month, or, failing such election,

Boeing will not be obligated to manufacture a replacement aircraft if
reactivation of the production line for the specific model of aircraft would be
required.

discharge any and all obligations and liabilities of Boeing and Customer with
respect to such aircraft and all related and undelivered Materials (as defined
in Exhibit B, Customer Support Document), training, services, and other things
terminated under the applicable purchase agreement, except that Boeing will
return to Customer within ten (10) days of such termination, without interest,
an amount equal to all advance payments (including, without limitation, the
initial deposit) paid by Customer for the aircraft. If Customer terminates the
applicable purchase agreement as to any aircraft, Boeing may elect, by written
notice to Customer within thirty (30) days, to purchase from customer any BFE
related to the aircraft at the invoice prices paid, or to be paid, by Customer.

for all other rights of termination or any claim arising by operation of law due
to excusable delays in performance covered by this Article.

 

Article 8. Risk Allocation/Insurance.

 

8.1 Title and Risk with Boeing.

 

8.1.1 Boeing’s Indemnification of Customer. Until transfer of title to an
aircraft to Customer, Boeing will indemnify and hold harmless Customer and

person(s), including employees of Boeing but not employees of Customer, or for
loss of or damage to any property, including an aircraft, arising out of or in
any way related to the operation of an aircraft during all demonstration and

agreement, whether or not arising in tort or occasioned by the negligence of
Customer or any of Customer’s observers.

8.1.2 Definition of Customer. For the purposes of this Article, “Customer” is

8.2 Insurance.

 

8.2.1 Insurance Requirements. Customer will purchase and maintain insurance
acceptable to Boeing and will provide a certificate of such insurance that names
Boeing as an additional insured for any and all claims and liabilities for
injury to or death of any person or persons, including employees of Customer but
not employees of Boeing, or for loss of or damage to any property, including any
aircraft, arising out of or in any way relating to Materials, training,
services, or other things provided under Exhibit B of the AGTA, which will be
incorporated by reference into the applicable purchase agreement, whether or not
arising in tort or occasioned by the negligence of Boeing, except with respect
to legal liability to persons or parties other than Customer or Customer’s
assignees arising out of an accident caused solely by a product defect in an
aircraft. Customer will provide such certificate of insurance at least thirty
(30) days prior to the scheduled delivery of the first aircraft under a purchase
agreement. The insurance certificate will reference each aircraft delivered to
Customer pursuant to each applicable purchase agreement. Annual renewal
certificates will be submitted to Boeing before the expiration of the policy
periods. The form of the insurance certificate, attached as Appendix I, states
the terms, limits, provisions, and coverages required by this Article 8.2.1. The
failure of Boeing to demand compliance with this 8.2.1 in any year will not in
any way relieve Customer of its obligations hereunder nor constitute a waiver by
Boeing of these obligations.

 

8.2.2 Noncompliance with Insurance Requirements. If Customer fails to comply
with any of the insurance requirements of Article 8.2.1 or if any of the
insurers fails to pay a claim covered by the insurance or otherwise fails to
meet any of its insurer’s obligations required by Appendix I, Customer will
provide the same protection to Boeing as that required by Article 8.2.1 above.

 

8.2.3 Definition of Boeing. For purposes of this article, “Boeing” is defined as
The Boeing Company, its divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assignees of each,

except:

 

9.1.1 Either party may assign its interest to a corporation that (i) results
from any merger, reorganization, or acquisition of such party and (ii) acquires
substantially all the assets of such party; provided, such corporation executes
a written agreement to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this
AGTA or any purchase agreement;

Alteon Training L.L.C, provided, Boeing will remain fully responsible to
Customer for all obligations that Boeing assigns to Alteon Training, L.L.C.

 

9.2 Transfer by Customer at Delivery. Boeing will take any requested action
reasonably required for the purpose of causing an aircraft, at time of delivery,
to be subject to an equipment trust, conditional sale, lien, or other
arrangement for Customer to finance the aircraft. However, no such action will
require Boeing to divest itself of title to or possession of the aircraft until
delivery of and payment for the aircraft. A sample form of assignment acceptable
to Boeing is attached as Appendix II. ***

 

9.3 Sale or Lease by Customer After Delivery. If, following delivery of an
aircraft, Customer sells or leases the aircraft (including any sale and
lease-back for financing purposes), all of Customer’s rights with respect to the
aircraft under the applicable purchase agreement will, at Customer’s request,
inure to the benefit of the purchaser or lessee of such aircraft, effective upon
Boeing’s receipt of the written agreement of the purchaser or lessee, in a form
satisfactory to Boeing, to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of
the applicable purchase agreement. Sample forms of agreement acceptable to
Boeing are attached as Appendices III and IV. ***

 

9.4 Notice of Sale or Lease After Delivery. Customer will give notice to Boeing
as soon as practicable of the sale or lease of an aircraft, including in the
notice the name of the entity or entities with title and/or possession of such
aircraft.

 

9.5 Exculpatory Clause in Post-Delivery Sale or Lease. If, following the
delivery of an aircraft, Customer sells or leases such aircraft and obtains from
the transferee any form of exculpatory clause protecting Customer from liability
for loss of or damage to the aircraft, and/or related incidental or
consequential damages, including without limitation loss of use, revenue, or
profit, Customer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain for Boeing the
purchaser’s or lessee’s written agreement to be bound by terms and conditions
substantially as set forth in Appendix V. This Article 9.5 applies only if the
purchaser or lessee has not provided to Boeing the written agreement described
in Article 9.3 above.

aircraft, Customer appoints an agent to act directly with Boeing for the
administration of claims relating to the warranties under the applicable
purchase agreement, Boeing will deal with the agent for that purpose, effective

PART 2: BOEING WARRANTY

 

1. Applicability.

 

This warranty applies to all Boeing Products. Warranties applicable to Supplier
Products are in Part 4. Warranties applicable to engines will be provided by
Supplemental Exhibits to individual purchase agreements.

 

2. Warranty.

 

2.1 Coverage. Boeing warrants that at the time of delivery:

 

  (i) the aircraft will conform to the then current revision of the Detail
Specification except for portions stated to be estimates, approximations or
design objectives;

 

  (ii) all Boeing Products will be free from defects in material, process of
manufacture and workmanship, including the workmanship utilized to install
Supplier Products, engines and BFE, and;

 

  (iii) all Boeing Products will be free from defects in design, including
selection of materials and the process of manufacture, in view of the state of
the art at the time of design.

 

2.2 Exceptions. The following conditions do not constitute a defect under this
warranty:

 

  (i) conditions resulting from normal wear and tear;

 

  (ii) conditions resulting from acts or omissions of Customer; and

 

  (iii) conditions resulting from failure to properly service and maintain the
Boeing Products included in an aircraft in accordance with Boeing written
instructions and an FAA-approved maintenance program.

 

3. Warranty Periods.

 

3.1 Warranty. The warranty period begins on the date of aircraft or Boeing
Product delivery and ends: (i) after 48 months for Boeing aircraft models
777-200, -300 or 737-600, -700, -800, -900 or new aircraft models designed and
manufactured with similar, new technology; or, (ii) after 36 months for any
other Boeing aircraft model.

 

C

2-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.2 Warranty on Corrected Boeing Products. The warranty period applicable to a
Corrected Boeing Product, including the workmanship to Correct and install,
resulting from a defect in material or workmanship is the remainder of the
initial warranty period for the defective Boeing Product it replaced. The
warranty period for a Corrected Boeing Product resulting from a defect in design
is 18 months or the remainder of the initial warranty period, whichever is
longer. The 18 month period begins on the date of delivery of the Corrected
Boeing Product or date of delivery of the kit or kits furnished to Correct the
Boeing Product.

 

3.3 Survival of Warranties. All warranty periods are stated above. The
Performance Guarantees will not survive delivery of the aircraft.

 

4. Remedies.

 

4.1 Correction Options. Customer may, at its option, either perform a Correction
of a defective Boeing Product or return the Boeing Product to Boeing for
Correction. If Customer returns a defective Boeing Product to Boeing for
Correction, Boeing shall have the option of providing Customer a new replacement
Boeing Product in lieu of making such Correction.

 

4.2 Warranty Labor Rate. If Customer or its Authorized Agent Corrects a
defective Boeing Product, Boeing will reimburse Customer for Direct Labor Hours
at Customer’s established Warranty Labor Rate. Customer’s established Warranty
Labor Rate will be the greater of the standard labor rate or 150% of Customer’s
Average Direct Hourly Labor Rate. The standard labor rate paid by Boeing to its
customers is established and published annually. *** Prior to or concurrently
with submittal of Customer’s first claim for Direct Labor reimbursement,
Customer may notify Boeing of Customer’s then-current Average Direct Hourly
Labor Rate, and thereafter notify Boeing of any material change in such rate.
Boeing will require information from Customer to substantiate such rates.

 

4.3 Warranty Inspections. In addition to the remedies to Correct defects in
Boeing Products, Boeing will reimburse Customer for the cost of Direct Labor to
perform certain inspections of the aircraft to determine the existence of a
condition Boeing has identified as a covered defect in a Boeing Product,
provided:

 

4.3.1 the inspections *** recommended by a service bulletin or service letter
issued by Boeing during the warranty period; and

 

4.3.2 such reimbursement will not apply to any inspections performed after a
Correction is available to Customer unless the inspections continue to be
recommended by Boeing following the implementation of the Correction made
available by Boeing.

4.4 Credit Memorandum Reimbursement. Boeing will make all reimbursements under
the warranty by credit memoranda which may be applied toward the purchase of
Boeing goods and services from Boeing.

for Direct Labor (exclusive of the time required to remove the defective Boeing
Product and install a replacement or Corrected Boeing Product) and Direct
Materials used to Correct a defective Boeing Product will not exceed 65% of
Boeing’s then-current sales price for a new replacement Boeing Product. Boeing
will provide a credit to Customer in payment of such reimbursement, which may be
used to acquire Boeing Products and services or, at Customer’s option, Boeing
will provide Customer with a replacement or Corrected Boeing Product.

 

5. Discovery and Notice.

 

5.1 For a claim to be valid:

 

  (i) the defect must be discovered during the warranty period; and

 

  (ii) Boeing Warranty (whose address will be provided to Customer in writing)

expiration of the warranty period. The notice must include information
reasonably sufficient to substantiate the claim.

 

5.2 Receipt of Customer’s or its Authorized Agent’s notice of the discovery of a
defect secures Customer’s rights to remedies under this Exhibit C, even though a
Correction is performed after the expiration of the warranty period or Boeing
requests additional information regarding the defect or claim.

 

5.3 Once Customer has given valid notice of the discovery of a defect, a claim
should be submitted as provided in Section 6.3.1 of this Exhibit C with respect
to the return of a defective Boeing Product to Boeing for Correction or as soon
as reasonably practicable after performance of the Correction in the case of a
Correction of a defective Boeing Product performed by Customer.

 

5.4 Boeing may release service bulletins or service letters advising Customer of
the availability of certain warranty remedies. When such advice is provided,
Customer will be deemed to have fulfilled the requirements for discovery of the
defect and submittal of notice under this Exhibit C as of the date specified in

associated with the return of a Boeing Product must be signed and submitted in
writing directly by Customer or its Authorized Agent to Boeing Warranty.

 

6.3.2 Boeing will promptly review the claim and will give prompt notification of
claim approval or rejection. If the claim is rejected, Boeing will provide a
written explanation ***

 

7. Corrections Performed by Customer or Its Authorized Agent.

 

7.1 Facilities Requirements. Provided Customer, its Authorized Agent or its
third party contractor, as appropriate, are certified by the appropriate Civil
Aviation Authority or Federal Aviation Authority, Customer or its Authorized
Agent may, at its option, Correct defective Boeing Products at its facilities,
or may subcontract Corrections to a third party contractor.

 

7.2 Technical Requirements. All Corrections done by Customer, its Authorized
Agent or a third party contractor must be performed in accordance with Boeing’s
applicable service manuals, bulletins or other written instructions provided in
advance by Boeing to Customer, using parts and materials furnished or approved
by Boeing.

 

7.3 Reimbursement.

 

7.3.1 Boeing will promptly reimburse Customer’s reasonable costs of Direct
Materials and Direct Labor (excluding time expended for overhaul) at Customer’s
Warranty Labor Rate to Correct a defective Boeing Product. Claims for
reimbursement must contain reasonably sufficient information to substantiate
Direct Labor hours expended and Direct Materials consumed. Customer or its
Authorized Agent may be required to produce invoices for materials. ***

 

7.3.2 Reimbursement for Direct Labor hours to perform Corrections stated in a
service bulletin will be based on the labor estimates in the service bulletin.

 

7.3.3 Boeing will reimburse Customer’s freight charges associated with a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.4 Disposition of Defective Boeing Products Beyond Economical Repair.

 

7.4.1 A defective Boeing Product found to be beyond economical repair (see
Article 4.5, Maximum Reimbursement) will be retained for a period of 60 days
from the date Boeing receives Customer’s claim. During the 60 day period, Boeing
may request return of such Boeing Products at Boeing’s expense for inspection
and confirmation of a defect.

 

7.4.2 After the 60 day period, a defective Boeing Product with a value of U.S.
$2000 or less may be scrapped without notification to Boeing. If such Boeing
Product has a value greater than U.S. $2000, Customer must obtain confirmation
of unrepairability by Boeing’s on-site Customer Services Representative prior to
scrapping. Confirmation may be in the form of the Representative’s signature on
Customer’s claim or through direct communication between the Representative and
Boeing Warranty.

 

8. Corrections Performed by Boeing.

 

8.1 Freight Charges. Customer or its Authorized Agent will pay shipping charges
to return a Boeing Product to Boeing. Boeing will promptly reimburse Customer or
its Authorized Agent for such shipping charges for any item determined to be
defective under this Aircraft General Terms Agreement. Boeing will pay shipping
charges to return the Corrected Boeing Product.

 

8.2 Customer Instructions. The documentation shipped with the returned defective
Boeing Product may include specific technical instructions for additional work
to be performed on the Boeing Product ***. The absence of such instructions will
evidence Customer’s authorization for Boeing to perform all reasonably necessary
Corrections and work required to return the Boeing Product to a serviceable
condition.

 

8.3 Correction Time Objectives.

 

8.3.1 Boeing’s objective for making Corrections is 10 working days for avionics
and electronic Boeing Products, 30 working days for Corrections of other Boeing
Products performed at Boeing’s facilities, and 40 working days for Corrections
of other Boeing Products performed at a Boeing subcontractor’s facilities. The
objectives are measured from the date Boeing receives the defective Boeing
Product and a valid claim to the date Boeing ships the Corrected Boeing Product
to Customer.

 

8.3.2 If Customer has a critical parts shortage because Boeing has exceeded or
believes it will exceed a Correction time objective and Customer has procured
spare Boeing Products for the defective Boeing Product in quantities shown in
Boeing’s Recommended Spare Parts List (RSPL) or Spares Planning and Requirements
Evaluation Model (M-SPARE), then Boeing will either expedite the Correction or
provide an interchangeable Boeing Product on a no charge loan or lease basis
until the Corrected Boeing Product is returned.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.4 Title Transfer and Risk of Loss.

 

8.4.1 Title to and risk of loss of any Boeing Product returned to Boeing will at
all times remain with Customer or any other title holder of such Boeing Product.
While Boeing has possession of the returned Boeing Product, Boeing will have
only such liabilities as a bailee for mutual benefit would have, but will not be
liable for loss of use.

 

8.4.2 If a Correction requires shipment of a new Boeing Product, then at the
time Boeing ships the new Boeing Product, title to and risk of loss for the
returned Boeing Product will pass to Boeing, and title to and risk of loss for
the new Boeing Product will pass to Customer.

 

9. Returning an Aircraft.

 

9.1 Conditions. An aircraft may be returned to Boeing’s facilities for
Correction if:

 

  (i) Boeing and Customer agree a covered defect exists;

 

  (ii) Customer lacks access to adequate facilities, equipment or qualified
personnel to perform the Correction; and

 

  (iii) it is not practical, in Boeing’s estimation, to dispatch Boeing
personnel to perform the Correction at a remote site.

 

9.2 Correction Costs. Boeing will perform the Correction at no charge to
Customer. Subject to the conditions of Article 9.1, Boeing will promptly
reimburse Customer for the costs of fuel, oil and landing fees incurred in
ferrying the aircraft to Boeing and back to Customer’s facilities. Customer
will, to the extent reasonably practicable, minimize the length of both flights.

 

9.3 Separate Agreement. Boeing and Customer will enter into a separate agreement
covering return of the aircraft and performance of the Correction. Boeing will
perform additional work that is not part of the Correction only to the extent
authorized in advance by Customer to do so; provided that if Boeing requests
authorization to perform additional work that is not part of the Correction but
if not performed would prevent the departure of the aircraft from Boeing’s
facility, Boeing may proceed to perform such work if such requested
authorization has not been received within 24 hours of such request.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Insurance.

2. Boeing has authorized Customer to grant to Contractor a worldwide,
non-exclusive, personal and nontransferable license to use Proprietary Materials
and Proprietary Information, owned by Boeing, internally in connection with
performance of the Contract or as may otherwise be authorized by Boeing in
writing. Contractor will keep confidential and protect from disclosure to any
person, entity or government agency, including any person or entity affiliated
with Contractor, all Proprietary Materials and Proprietary Information.
Individual copies of all Materials are provided to Contractor subject to
copyrights therein, and all such copyrights are retained by Boeing or, in some
cases, by Third Parties. Contractor is authorized to make copies of Materials
(except for Materials bearing the copyright legend of a Third Party) provided,
however, Contractor preserves the restrictive legends and proprietary notices on
all copies. All copies of Proprietary Materials will belong to Boeing and be
treated as Proprietary Materials under this Agreement.

 

3. Contractor specifically agrees not to use Proprietary Materials or
Proprietary Information in connection with the manufacture or sale of any part
or design. Unless otherwise agreed with Boeing in writing, Proprietary Materials
and Proprietary Information may be used by Contractor only for work on the

(or, at Boeing’s option, destroy) all Proprietary Materials, together with all
copies thereof and will certify to Boeing that all such Proprietary Materials
and copies have been so returned or destroyed.

 

6. To the extent required by a government regulatory agency having jurisdiction
over Contractor, Customer or the Aircraft, Contractor is authorized to provide
Proprietary Materials and disclose Proprietary Information to the agency for the
agency’s use in connection with Contractor’s, authorized use of such Proprietary
Materials and/or Proprietary Information in connection with Contractor’s
maintenance, repair, or modification of the Aircraft. Contractor agrees to take
reasonable steps to prevent such agency from making any distribution or
disclosure, or additional use of the Proprietary Materials and Proprietary
Information so provided or disclosed. Contractor further agrees to promptly
notify Boeing upon learning of any (i) distribution, disclosure, or additional
use by such agency, (ii) request to such agency for distribution, disclosure, or
additional use, or (iii) intention on the part of such agency to distribute,
disclose, or make additional use of the Proprietary Materials or Proprietary
Information.
