like) for personal injury or property damage relating to Willis’s access to

2.7.4    If Willis refuses, is unable to accept, or otherwise hinders delivery,
or if IAE at Willis’s written request agrees to delay delivery of any Spare
Engine, Willis will nevertheless pay to IAE or cause IAE to be paid therefore as
if, for the purposes of payment only, such undelivered Spare Engine had been
Delivered on the Delivery Date.  Willis will also pay to IAE such reasonable
sums as IAE may require for storing, maintaining and insuring such undelivered
Spare Engine from the Delivery Date until the date that Willis takes delivery of
such Spare Engine.

3.         WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES AND LIABILITIES

3.1       IAE warrants to Willis that, at the time of Delivery, the Spare

substantially conform to the Specification.  IAE's liability and Willis’s remedy
under this warranty are limited to the repair or replacement, at IAE's election,
of the relevant Spare Engine or any Spare Engine Part thereof; provided that (a)
such Spare Engine or Spare Engine Part, as applicable, is returned in accordance
with IAE’s written shipping instructions, (b) such Spare Engine or Spare Engine
Part is determined to be defective by IAE, and (c) that written notice of the
defect is given by Willis to IAE no later than the earlier of (i) [*] after the

such Spare Engine to Willis. If such Spare Engine or Spare Engine Part is
returned in accordance with IAE’s written shipping instructions, and determined
by IAE in its sole discretion to have been defective at the time of Delivery,
IAE will bear the cost of round-trip transportation of such Spare Engine or
Spare Engine Part and the risk of loss thereof.  Except as expressly set forth
below, IAE makes no warranty and disclaims all liability for goods, equipment
and parts, whether supplied by IAE or not, that were not originally manufactured
by or on behalf of IAE, though IAE will, to the extent it has a right to do so,
make available to Willis the benefit of any warranty provided by the original
manufacturer of such good, equipment or part (including, without limitation, in
respect of the Engine Bag and Engine Stand).  IAE warrants to Willis and its
successors and permitted assigns that, at the time of conveyance to Willis, IAE
will convey good and marketable title to the Spare Engines, the Engine Bags and
the Engine Stands, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances
whatsoever (collectively, “Liens”), and to the extent such title is not good and
marketable or any Spare Engine, Engine Bag or Engine Stand is not free and clear
of all Liens as warranted herein, IAE will address and defend all claims and
demands to ensure conveyance of good and marketable title to, and the removal of
any Liens against, the Spare Engines, the Engine Bags and the Engine Stands, and
will indemnify and hold Willis harmless in connection therewith.  In addition,
IAE grants and Willis accepts the [*] Engine and Parts Service Policy as set
forth in Appendix 3 attached hereto (the warranties collectively stated in this
Section 3.1, the “Warranties”).

3.2       The Warranties may not be assigned without the prior written consent
of IAE (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Willis may assign the Warranties to any Permitted Affiliate without
IAE’s consent provided that Willis provides IAE with a notice of such assignment
to [*] that (i) identifies the Permitted Affiliate; (ii) identifies the relevant
Spare Engine serial number(s); and (iii) waives Willis’s right to receive any
further benefits under the Warranties with respect to the relevant Spare
Engine(s).  Any assignment made in violation of this Section 3.2 is null and
void.

3.3       The Warranties provide specified benefits or remedies to Willis as a
result of specified events.  Under no circumstances will duplicate benefits or
remedies be provided to Willis by IAE or any other source (e.g., an equipment
manufacturer) as a result of the same event or cause.  Therefore,
notwithstanding any terms of the Warranties to the contrary, Willis waives its
eligibility to receive benefits or remedies from IAE if it is eligible to
receive or has received duplicative benefits or remedies from IAE or any other
source as a result of the same event or cause.

3.4       IAE makes no representation or warranty and IAE accepts no obligation
whatsoever, except to the extent set forth in Section 8.15, with respect to any
events, occurrences or circumstances arising after Delivery, or any actions of
Willis at any time, that might directly or indirectly affect in any way the
title of any Spare Engine.  Moreover, with the exception of the express
Warranties set forth in this Contract, IAE does not make any express or implied
warranty, guarantee or representation with respect to the Spare Engines, Engine
Bags or Engine Stands, and hereby EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES,

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, and, except to the extent expressly assumed by IAE in the
express Warranties, Willis assumes all liability for and all damages of any kind
or nature whatsoever arising from the use of the Spare Engines, Engine Bags or
Engine Stands by Willis or a third party.

3.5       Willis accepts that the Warranties granted to Willis hereunder,
together with the express remedies provided herein, are expressly in lieu of,
and Willis hereby waives, all other remedies, conditions, guarantees and
warranties, whether expressed or implied, including without limitation ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, and
all other obligations and liabilities whatsoever of IAE and of its shareholders
whether in contract, in tort or otherwise, for any defect, deficiency, failure,
malfunction or failure to function of any Spare Engines or of the equipment
referred to herein, howsoever and whenever acquired by Willis from whatever
source.  Neither IAE nor any of its shareholders will be liable to Willis upon
any claim therefor or upon any claim howsoever arising from the manufacture,
supply or inspection by IAE or any of its shareholders of any Spare Engine,
Engine Bag, Engine Stand or any other item of whatever nature, whether in
contract, tort or otherwise, except (i) as expressly provided in the Warranties
or (ii) any liability arising from IAE’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,
and Willis assumes all risk and liability whatsoever not expressly assumed by
IAE in the Warranties.  In no event will IAE be liable to Willis for special,
incidental, indirect or consequential damages arising in connection with or
related to this Contract or the subject of this Contract, including but not
limited to damage to, loss of use, revenue or profit, relating to any Spare
Engine, any Aircraft on which a Spare Engine is installed, or any Engine Bag or
Engine Stand.

3.6       This Article 3 has been the subject of discussion and negotiation and
is fully understood by the Parties.  The purchase prices of the Spare Engines,
and the agreements of the Parties set forth in this Contract, are derived in
consideration of:

3.6.1    the express Warranties of IAE and Willis’s rights thereunder; and

3.6.2    the exclusions, waivers and limitations set forth in Section 3.5.

4.         SUBJECT TO PRIOR SALE

The Parties acknowledge that the Delivery Dates set forth in this contract are
tentative and will only be confirmed (thereby triggering IAE’s obligation to
satisfy its obligations to Deliver) upon Willis’s payment of [*] in accordance
with Section 2.4 and submission of a complete purchase order with IAE for each
of the Spare Engines, subject to Section 6.

5.         SALE AND PART OUT

5.1       Intentionally Omitted.

5.2       Covenant Against Spare Engine Part-Out

(including any subsequent purchaser of any Spare Engine) from disassembling, the
Spare Engines into parts to be used or sold separately for a period equal to the
later of (i) not less than [*] from the Delivery Date and (ii) [*] flight hours
of operation.  In the event that Willis sells or otherwise transfers a Spare
Engine prior to the period set forth above, Willis will ensure that each of
Willis and any subsequent transferee applies the restriction of this Section 5.2
to the transferee in the applicable transfer agreement and names IAE as the
intended third-party beneficiary of such provision.

Willis’s failure to comply with this Section 5.2 is a material breach of this

that have accrued and have not been previously paid, executed or discharged
prior to expiration or termination will survive.

Willis agrees that it will not directly or indirectly sell, export, re-export,
transfer, divert, or otherwise dispose of any goods, software, technical data

whichever comes first) Engine Time which then decreases, pro rata, to [*]
percent at [*] hours (or cycles, whichever comes first) Engine Time, or, [*]
percent to [*] hours Parts Time which then decreases, pro rata, to [*] percent
at the end of its Class Life (Section III), whichever is greater.

If the Extended First Run Part is not a Primary Part, the pro rata Credit
Allowances will be based on [*] percent at [*] hours (or cycles, whichever comes
first) Engine Time which then decrease, pro rata, to [*] percent at [*] hours
(or cycles, whichever comes first) Engine Time.

3.         If such Damage of an Extended First Run Part requires the removal of
the Engine or a Module from the Aircraft, IAE will, in addition to Subparagraph
