			SECTION II – TERMS AND CONDITIONS
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE 1 - PRODUCTS
		

		
			 
		

		
			A.    Willis may purchase under the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, Spare Engines, Engine Modules, spare Parts, related optional equipment, technical data and other products offered from time to time, as may be offered for sale by GE and GE-LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Product(s)”) in quantities and in configurations reasonably required to support Willis’s commercial jet engine leasing business.
		

		
			 
		

		
			B.     In order to assure that an adequate supply of GE Spare Engines are available to support the operating fleet of GE powered aircraft, GE reserves the option, for a limited period of time following the sale of Spare Engines to Willis, to repurchase Spare Engines which Willis proposes to utilize for other than its own engine leasing purposes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Accordingly, if prior to the accumulation of [*] Flight Hours on any Spare Engine sold hereunder, Willis elects to a) offer such Spare Engine for resale other than (i) a sale to an affiliate or an owner trustee for the benefit of an affiliate or (ii) an offer to sell such Engine to a bona fide third party leasing company, investment fund, bank or other purchaser while such Engine is subject to a bona fide lease to an airline operator or b) undertake action to cause components or parts of such Spare Engine to be made available for sale, Willis shall give GE prompt advanced written notice of such determination (“Willis’s Notice”). Promptly upon receipt of such notice, GE shall have the option to repurchase the Spare Engine from Willis (the “GE Repurchase Option”) at the lower of (i) the net price (the GE quoted spare engine price less any allowances or other credits available to, and exercised by, Willis) at which such Spare Engine was sold by GE to Willis, less an amount to cover any use and operation of the Spare Engine which, as agreed by the parties, shall be equal to the then-current restoration charges per operating hours and cycles applicable to the equivalent GE lease pool engine; or (ii) any lower the amount and on the terms and conditions contained in current, bona fide offer made to Willis by a third party for such Spare Engine.  GE shall give Willis notice of its decision to decline or to exercise such GE Repurchase Option within five (5) business days of its receipt of Willis’s Notice.  Fulfillment by GE of the GE Repurchase Option shall be conditional upon technical inspection, review and acceptance of the Spare Engine and its records by GE and the execution of a mutually acceptable purchase agreement within ten (10) business days of such notice.  If GE Repurchase Option “a” is exercised by GE, upon completion of the repurchase, GE shall restore to Willis’s account any allowances and credits applied to reduce the GE quoted spare engine price.  For the avoidance of doubt, such GE Repurchase Option shall not apply to any sale of a Spare Engine intended to secure sale/leaseback financing in connection therewith.

			ARTICLE 2 - PRODUCT PRICES
		

		
			 
		

		
			A.    In General.  The selling price of GE-LLC or GE Products will be the respective prices which are quoted in GE-LLC’s Spare Parts Price Catalog, as revised from time to time (the “Spare Parts Catalog” or “Catalog”) or in GE’s written quotation or proposal from time to time and confirmed in a Letter Agreement for the purchase of Spare Engines or in a purchase order placed by Willis and accepted by GE-LLC.  GE shall quote such prices in U.S. Dollars and Willis shall pay for GE-LLC or GE Products in U.S. Dollars. All Product prices include the cost of GE’s standard tests, inspection and commercial packaging, but exclude, in the case of Engines, shipping stands, containers and engine covers. Transportation costs and costs resulting from special inspection, packaging, testing or other special requirements, requested by Willis, will be paid for by Willis.  GE-LLC will advise Willis in writing [*] days in advance of any changes in prices affecting a significant portion of the prices in the Catalog.  During such [*] day period, GE-LLC shall not be obligated to accept Willis purchase orders for quantities of spare Parts in excess of up to [*] days of Willis’s normal usage beyond the effective date of the announced price change.
		

		
			 
		

		
			B.    Spare Engines. Spare Engine prices will be quoted as base prices, subject to escalation using the appropriate GE Engine escalation provisions then in effect.  The appropriate GE escalation provisions will be set forth in each applicable letter agreement to this Agreement.  No change to such escalation provisions will apply to Willis until GE provides Willis at least [*] days prior written notice.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE 3 - GE PRODUCT ORDER PLACEMENT
		

		
			 
		

		
			A.    The terms and conditions set forth herein are in lieu of all printed terms and conditions appearing on Willis’s purchase orders.
		

		
			 
		

		
			B.     Willis shall place purchase orders for GE or GE-LLC Products and GE’s or GE-LLC’s acknowledgment of each purchase order shall constitute acceptance thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE 4 - DELIVERY, TITLE, TRANSPORTATION, RISK OF LOSS, PACKAGING OF PRODUCTS
		

		
			 
		

		
			A.    Delivery of GE Products and GE-LLC Products shall be at GE’s facility in Evendale, Ohio, U.S.A., Peebles, Ohio, U.S.A., or Erlanger, Kentucky, U.S.A., or point of manufacture, or other facility at GE’s option.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)
		

		
			 
		

		
			B.    Upon Delivery, title to GE Products and GE-LLC Products as well as risk of loss thereof or damage thereto shall pass to Willis.

			ARTICLE 5 - PAYMENT FOR PRODUCTS
		

		
			 
		

		
			Payment terms are set forth in the attached Exhibit C. For the avoidance of doubt, no Willis entity other than the sole entity executing a purchase order shall have any liability to GE or GE-LLC pursuant to such purchase order.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE 6 - GENERAL
		

		
			 
		

		
			Solely for purposes of Articles 7-16 of the Agreement, the abbreviation “Seller” shall refer to both GE and GE-LLC since each entity will be subject to these terms.  In addition, again solely for purposes of Articles 7-16 of the Agreement, the term “Product(s)” shall refer to both GE Product(s) and GE-LLC Product(s).
		

		
			 
		

		
			For purposes of this Agreement, “Willis” shall refer to “Willis Lease” or “WEF” depending on whether the purchase order for the respective Spare Engine was issued by Willis Lease or WEF.  For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of Willis Lease and WEF under this Agreement are several and not joint.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE 7 – TAXES AND DUTIES
		

		
			 
		

		
			Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for and pay directly all corporate and individual taxes measured by net income or profit imposed by any governmental authority on Seller, its employees or subcontractors in any way connected with this Agreement  (“Seller taxes”).  Willis shall be responsible for and pay directly when due and payable all taxes, duties, fees, or other charges of any nature (including, but not limited to, ad valorem, consumption, excise, franchise, gross receipts, import, license, property, sales, stamp, storage, transfer, turnover, use, or value-added taxes, and any and all items of withholding, deficiency, penalty, addition to tax, interest, or assessment related thereto), other than Seller taxes, imposed by any governmental authority on Seller or its employees or subcontractors in any way connected with  this Agreement ("Willis taxes").  All payments due and payable to Seller by Willis under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for Willis taxes, except that if Willis shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Willis taxes from or in respect of any amount payable by it to Seller hereunder, the amount payable by Willis shall be increased by such amount as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings with respect to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this sentence), Seller receives the same amount that it would have received if no such deduction or withholding had been made.  If Seller is nevertheless required to pay Willis taxes, Willis shall, promptly upon presentation of Seller’s invoice for the Willis taxes, reimburse Seller for the Willis taxes.  Willis shall provide to Seller on a timely basis accurate official receipts for deducted or withheld taxes.  All rights to drawback of customs duties paid by Seller to the

			customs authorities of the country of manufacture of any products shall belong to Seller.  Willis agrees to cooperate reasonably with Seller at Seller’s expense to obtain a drawback.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE 8 - WARRANTY
		

		
			 
		

		
			Applicable warranties are set forth in Exhibit A relating to all Engines or Parts, including Expendable Parts, purchased by Willis directly from GE or GE-LLC.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE 9 - EXCUSABLE DELAY
		

		
			 
		

		
			Seller shall not be liable or in breach of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent performance of such obligations is delayed or prevented, directly or indirectly, by causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, terrorism, war (declared or undeclared), severe weather conditions, earthquakes, epidemics, material shortages, insurrection, acts or omissions of Willis or Willis’s suppliers or agents, any act or omission by any governmental authority, strikes, labor disputes, acts or threats of vandalism or terrorism (including disruption of technology resources), transportation shortages, or vendor’s failure to perform (each an “Excusable Delay”).  The delivery or performance date shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of delay, including time to overcome the effect of the delay. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to continue performance whenever such causes are removed. If Seller is delayed solely by any acts or omissions of Willis or Willis’s other contractors or suppliers, Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjustment in price and time for performance. In the event an Excusable Delay continues for a period of [*] or more beyond the scheduled delivery or performance date, Willis or Seller may, upon [*] days written notice to the other, cancel the part of this Agreement so delayed, Seller shall return to Willis all payments relative to the canceled part of this Agreement and Willis shall pay Seller its reasonable cancellation charges in the event Willis elects to cancel the affected part of this Agreement due solely to the acts or omissions of Willis.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE 10 – PATENTS
		

		
			 
		

		
			A.    Seller shall handle all claims and defend any suit or proceeding brought against Willis insofar as based on a claim that any Product furnished under this Agreement, without any alteration or further combination, constitutes an infringement of any patent of the United States or of any patent of any other country that is signatory to Article 27 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation signed by the United States at Chicago on December 7, 1944, in which a Willis customer pursuant to a lease or similar arrangement, operates Spare Engines of Willis.
		

		
			 
		

		
			B.    Seller’s liability hereunder is conditioned upon Willis promptly notifying Seller in writing and giving Seller authority, information and assistance (at Seller’s expense) for the defense of any suit or proceeding.  In case such Product is held in such suit or proceeding to constitute infringement and the use of said Product is enjoined, Seller shall, at its own expense and at its option, either (1) procure for Willis and it’s customers the right to continue using such Product; (2) replace same with satisfactory to Willis and non-infringing Product; or (3) modify same so it becomes satisfactory to Willis and non-infringing Product.

			The liability of Seller to Willis arising out of, connected with, or resulting from the manufacture, sale, design, possession, use or handling of any Product (including Spare Engines obtained, acquired, leased or operated after the execution of this Agreement) or Parts thereof or therefor or furnishing of services under this Agreement, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including, without limitation, negligence, but excluding willful misconduct or gross negligence) or otherwise, shall be as set forth in this Agreement or in Exhibit A or B or in the applicable letter agreements to the Agreement and shall not in any event exceed the purchase price (or in the absence of a purchase price, the fair market value) of the Engine giving rise to Willis’s claim. The fair market value of the Engine shall be determined at the time the claim is made but shall not include any reductions in the fair market value resulting solely from the subject of the claim.  The foregoing shall constitute the sole remedy of Willis and the sole liability of Seller. In no event shall Seller be liable for incidental, punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to, damage to, or loss of use, revenue or profit with respect to any aircraft, engine, or part thereof. THE WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT A AND ANY APPLICABLE LETTER AGREEMENTS ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES WHETHER WRITTEN, STATUTORY, ORAL, OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE).
		

		
			 
		

		
			For the purpose of this Article, the term “Seller” shall be deemed to include General Electric Company, its subsidiaries (including but not limited to GE Engine Services Distribution, LLC), assigns, subcontractors, suppliers, Product co-producers, and the respective directors, officers, employees, and agents of each.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE 13 - GOVERNMENT AUTHORIZATION, EXPORT SHIPMENT

Consistent with its obligation to file AES records, Willis acknowledges and agrees that it will issue a power of attorney or other instructions to a freight forwarder authorized to file such records, requiring that freight forwarder to make such AES filings.   Willis shall restrict disclosure of all information and data furnished in connection with such authorization and shall ship the subject matter of the authorization to only those destinations that are authorized by the U.S. Government.

			D.    Confidentiality of Information.

			EXHIBIT A
		

		
			 
		

		
			[*] ENGINE WARRANTY PLAN
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION I - WARRANTIES

			(i)   100% for Parts in inventory or removed from service when new or with [*] Flight Hours or less total Part Time.

			Engines sold by Willis to commercial Willis operators, or to other aircraft operators.  Such warranty support will be limited to Engines or Parts which were purchased under this Agreement or to initially installed Engines purchased by Willis from the Aircraft manufacturer and apply to the unexpired portion of the New Engine Warranty, New Parts Warranty, Ultimate Life Warranty, Campaign Change Warranty, Vendor Back-Up Warranty, and Vendor Interface Warranty (collectively, the “Engine Warranties”), and will require such operator(s) to agree in writing to be bound by and comply with all the terms and conditions, including the limitations, applicable to the Engine Warranties.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Seller's consent shall not be required for the assignment by Willis to one or more financing institutions of Willis's rights to the Engine Warranties, each such assignment made in respect to Willis's initial financing of one or more new Aircraft or spare Engine(s), as the case may be.  In exercising any rights under such Engine Warranties, such assignee shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the applicable terms and conditions of this GTA, including the limitations,  applicable to the Engine Warranties.  The exercise by such assignee of any rights to the Engine Warranties shall not release Willis from any of its duties or obligations to Seller under this GTA except to the extent of actual performance by the assignee.  Seller’s liability to either or both Willis and its assignee shall not be increased, duplicated or multiplied in any way by reason of such assignment.  Willis shall provide the assignee an extracted copy of the terms and conditions of this GTA (including a copy of this paragraph) applicable to the Engines Warranties.

			F.   Vendor Back-Up Warranty
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.   GE controls and accessories vendors provide a warranty on their products used on GE Engines.  This warranty applies to controls and accessories sold to GE for delivery on installed or spare Engines and controls and accessories sold by the vendor to Willis on a direct purchase basis.  In the event the controls and accessories suffer a failure during the vendor’s warranty period, Willis will submit a claim directly to the vendor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the vendor’s warranty.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.   In the event a controls and accessories vendor fails to provide a warranty at least as favorable as the GE New Engine Warranty (for complete controls and accessories) or New Parts Warranty (for components thereof), or if provided, rejects a proper claim from Willis, GE will intercede on behalf of Willis to resolve the claim with the vendor.  In the event GE is unable to resolve a proper claim with the vendor,

			GE will honor a claim from Willis under the provisions and subject to the limitations of GE’s New Engine or New Parts Warranty, as applicable.  Settlements under Vendor Back-Up Warranty will exclude credits for resultant damage to or from controls and accessories procured directly by Willis from vendors.
		

		
			 
		

		
			G.  Vendor Interface Warranty
		

		
			 
		

		
			Should any control or accessory, for which GE is responsible, develop a problem due to its environment or interface with other controls and accessories or with an Engine, Module or equipment supplied by the aircraft manufacturer, GE will be responsible for initiating corrective action.  If the vendor disclaims warranty responsibility for Parts requiring replacement, GE will apply the provisions of its New Parts Warranty to such Part whether it was purchased originally from GE or directly from the vendor.
		

		
			 
		

		
			H.  THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, STATUTORY, ORAL, OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE).
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION II - GENERAL CONDITIONS
		

		
			 
		

		
			A.  Willis will maintain adequate operational and maintenance records and make these available for GE inspection.
		

		
			 
		

		
			B.   GE will deny a claim under any of the Warranty provisions, and the Warranty provisions will not apply if it has been reasonably determined by GE that:

			C.   The express provisions herein set forth the maximum liability of GE with respect to all claims of any kind under this Exhibit A, including, without limitation, contracts, warranty, tort and negligence arising out of the manufacture, design, sale, possession, use or handling of the Products (including Engines installed on Willis’s owned or leased aircraft as original equipment and engines obtained, acquired, leased or operated before or after the execution of this Agreement) or Parts thereof or therefor, and in no case shall GE’s liability to Willis exceed the purchase price (or in the absence of a purchase price, the fair market value) of the Engine, service or other thing giving rise to Willis’s claim.  In no event shall GE be liable for incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages.  For the purpose of this Section II, the

			term “GE” shall be deemed to include the General Electric Company, its subsidiaries, assigns, subcontractors, suppliers, Product co-producers, and the respective directors, officers, employees, and agents of each. If Willis uses non- GE Parts or non- GE approved repairs and such parts or repairs cause personal injury, death or property damage to third parties, Willis shall indemnify and hold harmless GE from all claims and liabilities connected therewith. This indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			D.  Willis shall apprise GE of any Failure within [*] days after the discovery of such Failure.  Such notice shall include a delineation of all other products or parts not supplied by GE which have been incorporated into the Engine that may have contributed  to the Failure or that are involved with the operation of the module in which the Failure occurred. Any Part for which a Parts Credit Allowance is requested by Willis shall be returned to GE upon specific request by GE and must be accompanied by sufficient information to identify the Part and the reason for its return.  In such event, upon return to GE, such Part shall become the property of GE unless GE directs otherwise.  Transportation expenses shall be borne by GE.
		

		
			 
		

		
			E.   The warranty applicable to a replacement Part provided under the terms of the New Engine Warranty or New Parts Warranty shall be the same as the warranty on the original Part.  The unexpired portion of the applicable warranty will apply to Parts repaired under the terms of such warranty.
		

		
			 
		

		
			F.   Willis will cooperate with GE in the development of Engine operating practices, repair procedures, and the like with the objective of improving Engine operating costs.
		

		
			 
		

		
			G.  If compensation becomes available to Willis under more than one warranty or other Engine program consideration, Willis will not receive duplicate compensation but will receive the compensation most beneficial to Willis under a single warranty or other program consideration.
		

		
			 
		

		
			H.  Any repair which is performed without the prior authorization of GE will not be covered by the applicable warranty.
		

		
			 
		

		
			I.    Transportation to and from repair facilities shall be paid by Willis.

			        For Spare Engines and Modules:
		

		
			 
		

		
			-       Unless waived by GE in writing, [*] months prior to a scheduled delivery date, GE shall render to the applicable Willis entity an invoice for [*] percent ([*]%) of the base price (unescalated) which such Willis entity shall pay within [*] days of the date of the invoice; and
		

		
			-       Payment of the balance, including amount for price escalation to the month of scheduled delivery, if any, shall be made by the applicable Willis entity at time of delivery of each item.
		

		
			-       Solely for administrative purposes (including shipping, export and taxation requirements), the applicable Willis entity (i.e. either Willis Lease or WEF) shall have the right to place, and GE shall have the right to require, a purchase order reflecting the Willis entities’ commitment to purchase a Spare Engine or Module as contained in the applicable Letter Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, placement of such purchase order shall not affect the payment obligation of the applicable Willis specified above, or the shipment obligation of GE as set forth in the applicable Letter Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			        For special tools and test equipment, payment of the selling price shall be made at time of delivery thereof.

			payment according to the terms set forth above.

			E.        In the event that the applicable Willis entity has a bona fide dispute regarding any part or amount   contained within an invoice, such Willis entity shall within [*] calendar days of receipt of the invoice give written notice to GE of that portion of the invoice in dispute, with their substantiated reasons, together with any supporting documentation.  GE and such Willis entity shall use their respective best endeavours and allocate sufficient resources to settle any part of an invoice disputed by Customer in accordance with this Article 16 J within [*] calendar days or as soon as possible thereafter.

			Such Willis entity shall be required to pay the undisputed portion of any invoice in accordance with the payment terms set forth above.

Interest will be computed at [*] plus [*]% per annum, but in no event will the rate of interest be greater than the highest rate then permitted under applicable law.
