EXHIBIT B-2

ESCALATION FORMULA I





	1.	 	Any unit base price or other sum expressed to be subject to escalation from a base month to a
month of delivery or other date of determination in accordance with the IAE Escalation Formula
will be subject to escalation in accordance with the following formula:




        P = Pb ( [***] L + [***] M + [***] E )

 Lo             Mo             Eo






	 	 	Where:
	 
	 	 	P = the invoiced purchase price or escalated sum rounded to the nearest U.S. Dollar
	 
	 	 	Pb = unit base price or other sum.
	 
	 	 	Lo = the “North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Wages and Salaries for Aircraft
Manufacturing (NAICS Code 336411), CIU2023211000000I” as published quarterly by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the Labor for the month preceding the base month
by four months.
	 
	 	 	L = the “North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Wages and Salaries for Aircraft
Manufacturing (NAICS Code 336411), CIU2023211000000I” as published quarterly by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the month preceding the month of delivery or
other date of determination by four months.
	 
	 	 	Mo = the “Producer Price Index, Code 10, for Metals and Metal Products” published by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics in the U.S. Department of Labor for the month preceding the base month by
four months.
	 
	 	 	M = the “Producer Price Index, Code 10, for Metals and Metal Products” for the month preceding
the base month by four months.
	 
	 	 	Eo = the “Producer Price Index, Code 5, for Fuel and Related Products and Power” published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S. Department of Labor for the month preceding the base
month by four months.
	 
	 	 	E = the “Producer Price Index, Code 5, for Fuel and Related Products and Power” for the month
preceding the base month by four months.




 



       The values of the factors [***] L + [***] M + [***] E

 Lo            Mo             Eo






	 	 	Respectively, shall be determined to the nearest fourth decimal place. If the fifth decimal is
five or more, the fourth decimal place shall be raised to the next higher number.
	 
	 	 	If the U.S. Department of Labor ceases to publish the above statistics or modifies the basis of
their calculation, then IAE may substitute any officially recognized and substantially
equivalent statistics.
	 
	 	 	The Basic Contract Prices contained in this Exhibit B are subject to escalation from a Base
Month of January 2003 to the month of delivery using using Lo, Mo and Eo values for September
2002.
	 
	 	 	If the application of the formula contained in this Exhibit B results in a Purchase Price which
is lower than the Basic Contract Price, the Basic Contract Price will be deemed to be the
Purchase Price for such Supplies.

IAE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION




ESCALATION FORMULA II





	1.	 	Any unit base price or other sum expressed to be subject to escalation from a base month to a
month of delivery or other date of determination in accordance with the IAE Escalation Formula
will be subject to escalation in accordance with the following formula:





	 	 	 	 	 

	Pi

	 	=
	 	(Pb+F) x CPI where:
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Pi

	 	=
	 	the invoiced purchase price or escalated sum rounded to the nearest U.S. Dollar.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Pb

	 	=
	 	unit base price or other sum.
	 
	 	 	 	 
	F

	 	=
	 	[***] (N)(Pb)
	 
	 	 	 	 
	N

	 	=
	 	the calendar year of scheduled delivery or other date of determination minus 2003
	 
	 	 	 	 
	CPI

	 	=
	 	[***] (L) + [***] (M)
	 
	 	 	 	 
	L

	 	=
	 	Labor Ratio defined below
	 
	 	 	 	 
	M

	 	=
	 	Material Ratio defined below







	 	 	IAE’s Composite Price Index (“CPI”) is the sum of [***] percent of the Labor ratio and [***]
percent of the Material Ratio, with the sum rounded to the nearest ten thousandth.
	 
	 	 	The quarterly value published for the Employment Cost Index will be deemed to apply to each
month of the quarter.
	 
	 	 	The Labor Ratio is the “North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Wages and Salaries
for Aircraft Manufacturing (NAICS Code 336411), CIU2023211000000I” as published quarterly by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the arithmetic average of the fifth,
sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the month of scheduled
delivery for each engine/equipment; divided by the value of “North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) Wages and Salaries for Aircraft Manufacturing (NAICS Code 336411),
CIU2023211000000I” for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to
the nearest tenth) preceding the Base Month. To be clear the quarterly value of
CIU2023211000000I will apply to each month of a given quarter.
	 
	 	 	The Material Ratio is the “Producer Price Index, Industrial Commodities, WPU03thru15”, as
published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, for the
arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth)
preceding the month of scheduled delivery for each engine/equipment; divided by the value for
Industrial Commodities for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months
(rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the Base Month.
	 
	 	 	For a given month, the escalation shall be computed by using the applicable Index value, which
the Bureau has published as the time of delivery or other date of determination.
	 
	2.	 	If the U.S. Department of Labor changes the base year for determination of the Index values
as defined above, such re-based values will be incorporated in the escalation calculation.
	 
	3.	 	If the U.S. Department of Labor revises the methodology used for the determination of the
values to be used to determine the CPI or, for any reason, has not released values needed to
determine the CPI, IAE, in its sole discretion, shall select a substitute for such values from
data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or otherwise make revisions to the escalation
formula such that the escalation will as closely as possible approximate the result that would
have been attained by continuing the use of the original escalation formula and values as they
may have fluctuated during the applicable time period.
	 
	4.	 	The invoiced purchase price, which in no event shall be less than the unit base price, shall
be the final price. If the calculated sum of L + M is less than 1.0000, then the value of the
sum is adjusted to 1.0000.
