	 	 	The applicable Standard Specification will supersede the applicable ADD at no additional
cost to the Buyer and the applicable airframe will be manufactured in accordance with the
applicable Standard Specification, as may already have been modified or varied by the ADD
specification changes contemplated in Exhibit B-1.B for the Aircraft. It is understood
that, subject to the Seller’s certification, industrial and commercial constraints, some
equipment currently set forth in the ADD may be replaced by equipment with equivalent
functions, but that in no event will the Standard Specification of the Aircraft contain any
equipment not having functions at least equivalent to those set forth in the applicable ADD.
	 
	 	 	The Seller agrees to promptly inform the Buyer of any applicable Standard Specification
evolutions that the Seller is contemplating offering to other airlines for incorporation in
the Aircraft.
	 
	 	 	Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Seller is currently considering turning certain
items that are Buyer Furnished Equipment in the ADD into Seller Furnished Equipment items in
the applicable Standard Specification and the parties agree that such Buyer Furnished
Equipment items will be excluded from the preceding paragraph and will be chargeable to the
Buyer should they become Seller Furnished Equipment; provided, however, that items
transferred from Buyer Furnished Equipment to Seller Furnished Equipment will be of
equivalent function and form and at no additional charge to the Buyer as compared to the
amount that the Buyer would have paid for the original Buyer Furnished Equipment.

result in an adjustment of the Base Price of the Aircraft, which
adjustment, if any, will be specified in the SCN. SCNs will not be
binding on either party until signed by persons duly authorized by
the Buyer and the Seller, but upon being so signed, will constitute
amendments to this Agreement.

when changes to the Aircraft do not adversely affect price, Scheduled Delivery Month, weight
of the Aircraft affected thereby, **interchangeability requirements or replaceability
requirements of the Specifications of the Aircraft affected thereby are deemed by the Seller
to be necessary to improve the Aircraft affected thereby, prevent delay or ensure compliance
with this Agreement (“Development Changes”). Development Changes will be made by

all reasonable times open to inspection during business hours by duly authorized
representatives of the Buyer or its designee at the works of the relevant manufacture facility
of the Seller or its Affiliates and, if possible, at the works of their respective
subcontractors. These representatives will have access to such relevant technical data as are
reasonably necessary for this purpose (except that, if access to any part of the respective
works where construction is in progress or materials or parts are stored is restricted for
security reasons, the Seller, its Affiliates and relevant subcontractors, as the case may be,
will be allowed a reasonable time to make the items available for inspection elsewhere). The
actual detailed inspection of the Aircraft, materials and parts thereof will take place only
in the presence of the respective inspection department personnel of the Seller, its
Affiliates or relevant subcontractors. The procedures for such inspections will be agreed on
with the Buyer before any inspection. The Seller will ensure that such personnel will be
available at all reasonable times during business hours as described above.
	 
	6.2.2	 	All inspections, examinations and discussions with the Seller’s or its subcontractors’
engineering or other personnel by the Buyer and its representatives will be performed in such
a manner as not to delay or hinder either the work to be carried out on the Aircraft or the
proper performance of this Agreement. In no event will the Buyer or its representatives be
permitted to inspect any aircraft other than the Aircraft. **
	 
	6.3	 	Representatives
	 
	 	 	For the purposes of Clause 6.2, starting at a mutually agreed date and
continuing until Delivery of the last Aircraft, the Seller will
furnish free-of-charge secretarial assistance and suitable space,
office equipment and facilities in or conveniently located with
respect to the Delivery Location for the use of not more than **
representatives of the Buyer during the aforementioned period. The
Seller will provide internet access, electronic mail, facsimile and a
telephone at the Seller’s cost.

	7	 	CERTIFICATION 
	 
	 	 	Except as set forth in this Clause 7, the Seller will not be required
to obtain any certificate or approval with respect to the Aircraft.
	 
	7.1	 	Type Certification
	 
	 	 	A type certificate for the Aircraft will have been issued by each of EASA and the FAA in the
transport category (each, a “Type Certificate”) prior to Delivery of the first
Aircraft.
	 
	7.2	 	Export Certificate of Airworthiness
	 
	 	 	Subject to the provisions of Clause 7.3, each Aircraft will be
delivered to the Buyer with an Export Certificate of Airworthiness
issued by the DGAC or EASA, as applicable, and in a condition enabling
the Buyer (or an eligible person under then applicable law) to obtain
a Standard Airworthiness Certificate issued pursuant to Part 21 **of
the US Federal Aviation Regulations and a Certificate of Sanitary
Construction issued by the U.S. Public Health Service Food and Drug
Administration. However, the Seller will have no obligation to make
and will not be responsible for any costs of alterations or
modifications to any Aircraft to enable such Aircraft to meet FAA or
U.S. Department of Transportation requirements for specific operation
on the Buyer’s routes, except as may be provided pursuant to Clause
7.3, whether before, at or after Delivery of any Aircraft.
	 
	7.3	 	Additional FAA Requirements
	 
	 	 	If the FAA requires additional data before the issuance of a Standard
Airworthiness Certificate for an Aircraft, the Seller will provide
such data at the expense of the Buyer.
	 
	7.4	 	Additional EASA Requirements
	 
	7.4.1	 	If, **is Ready for Delivery, any law, rule or regulation is enacted, promulgated, becomes
effective and/or an interpretation of any law, rule or regulation is issued (a “Change in
Law”) by the EASA **that requires any change to the Specification for the purposes of
obtaining the Export Certificate of Airworthiness, the Seller will make the required
modification and the parties will sign an SCN for such modification.
	 
	7.4.2	 	The Seller will as far as practicable, but at its sole discretion and without prejudice to
the requirements of Clause 7.4.3, take into account the information available to it concerning
any proposed law, rule or regulation or interpretation by the EASA **that could ** become a
Change in Law in order to minimize the costs of changes to the Specification if the same
becomes such a Change in Law.

	7.4.3	 	The cost of implementing any modifications referred to in Clause 7.4.1 will be shared
equally by the Seller and the Buyer if a Change in Law by the EASA **becomes effective after
issuance of a Type Certificate by the EASA but before the Aircraft is Ready for Delivery; **
	 
	7.4.4	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of Clauses 7.4.3, if a Change in Law relates to an item of
BFE or to the Propulsion Systems (including to engine accessories, quick engine change units
or thrust reversers) the costs relating thereto will be borne in accordance with such
arrangements as may be made separately between the Buyer and the manufacturer of the BFE or
the Propulsion Systems, as applicable, and the Seller will have no obligation with respect
thereto.
	 
	7.5	 	Specification Changes After Delivery
	 
	 	 	Nothing in Clause 7.4 will require the Seller to make any changes or modifications to, or to
make any payments or take any other action with respect to, any Aircraft that is Ready for
Delivery before the compliance date of any law or regulation referred to in Clause 7.4. Any
such changes or modifications made to an Aircraft after it is Ready for Delivery will be at
the Buyer’s expense.

	8	 	TECHNICAL ACCEPTANCE
	 
	8.1	 	Technical Acceptance Process
	 
	8.1.1	 	Prior to Delivery, the Aircraft will undergo a technical acceptance process developed by the
Seller, **(the “Technical Acceptance Process”). Completion of the Technical Acceptance
Process will demonstrate the satisfactory functioning of the Aircraft and will be deemed to
demonstrate compliance with the applicable Specification. Should it be established that the
Aircraft fails to complete the Technical Acceptance Process satisfactorily, the Seller will
without hindrance from the Buyer be entitled to and will carry out any necessary changes to
correct the reason for such failure and, as soon as practicable thereafter, resubmit the
Aircraft in order to complete the Technical Acceptance Process.
	 
	8.1.2	 	The Technical Acceptance Process will

	 	(i)	 	start on a date notified by the Seller to the Buyer at least **in advance,
	 
	 	(ii)	 	take place at the Delivery Location,
	 
	 	(iii)	 	be carried out by the personnel of the Seller,
	 
	 	(iv)	 	include a technical acceptance flight that will not exceed **, and
	 
	 	(v)	 	conclude in **.

	8.2	 	Buyer’s Attendance
	 
	8.2.1	 	The Buyer is entitled to attend and observe the Technical Acceptance Process.
	 
	8.2.2	 	If the Buyer attends the Technical Acceptance Process, the Buyer

	 	(i)	 	will comply with the reasonable requirements of the Seller, with the intention
of completing the Technical Acceptance Process within **and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	may have a maximum of ** representatives (no more than ** of whom will have
access to the cockpit at any one time) accompany the Seller’s representatives on the
technical acceptance flight, during which the Buyer’s representatives will comply with
the instructions of the Seller’s representatives.

	8.2.3	 	If the Buyer does not attend or fails to cooperate in the Technical Acceptance Process, the
Seller will be entitled to complete the Technical Acceptance Process in compliance with Clause
8.1.1, without the Buyer’s attendance, and the Buyer will be deemed to have accepted that the
Aircraft is functioning satisfactorily and is in compliance with the Specification, in all
respects.

	8.3	 	Certificate of Acceptance
	 
	 	 	Upon successful completion of the Technical Acceptance Process, the Buyer will, on or before
the Delivery Date, sign and deliver to the Seller a certificate of acceptance in respect of
the Aircraft in the form of Exhibit D (the “Certificate of Acceptance”). Any
discrepancies in the condition of the Aircraft, and any agreements between the Buyer and the
Seller with respect thereto, will be documented in a separate agreement, but the same will
not, unless otherwise agreed, affect the Buyer’s rights under Clause 12 with respect to such
discrepancy.
	 
	8.4	 	Finality of Acceptance
	 
	 	 	The Buyer’s signature of the Certificate of Acceptance for the Aircraft will constitute
waiver by the Buyer of any right it may have under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by
the State of New York or otherwise to revoke acceptance of the Aircraft for any reason,
whether known or unknown to the Buyer at the time of acceptance.
	 
	8.5	 	Aircraft Utilization
	 
	 	 	The Seller will, without payment or other liability, be entitled to use the Aircraft
**before Delivery to obtain the certificates required under Clause 7. Such use
will not limit the Buyer’s obligation to accept Delivery. **

**after the date on which the Aircraft is Ready for Delivery.

	9.2.2	 	The Seller will transfer title to the Aircraft to the Buyer free and clear of all
encumbrances other than those arising by or through the Buyer, provided that the Balance of
the Final Contract Price has been paid by the Buyer, pursuant to Clause 5.4 and that the
Certificate of Acceptance has been signed and delivered to the Seller pursuant to Clause 8.3.
The Seller will provide the Buyer with a bill of sale in the form of Exhibit E and/or such
other documentation confirming transfer of title and receipt of the Final Contract Price as
may reasonably be requested by the Buyer. Property interest in and risk of loss of or damage
to the Aircraft will pass to the Buyer contemporaneously with the delivery by the Seller to
the Buyer of such bill of sale.

	9.2.3	 	If (i) the Buyer fails to deliver the signed Certificate of Acceptance to the Seller on or
before the Delivery Date, or (ii) the Buyer fails to pay the Balance of the Final Contract
Price for the Aircraft to the Seller on the Delivery Date, then the Buyer will be deemed to
have rejected Delivery wrongfully when the Aircraft was duly tendered pursuant to this
Agreement. If such a deemed rejection arises, the Seller will retain title to the applicable
Aircraft and the Buyer will indemnify and hold the Seller harmless against any and all costs
(including but not limited to any parking, storage, and insurance costs) and consequences
resulting from the Buyer’s rejection. These rights of the Seller will be in addition to the

	10.3	 	Termination on Excusable Delay

	10.3.1	 	If any Delivery is delayed as a result of an Excusable Delay for a period of more than **

10.2.1(iv) that there will be a delay in Delivery of an Aircraft of more than ** after the
last day of the Scheduled Delivery Month, then the Buyer may terminate this Agreement with

Buyer to this effect within ** of such occurrence. The Seller will include in said
notification (or as soon after the issue of the notice as such information becomes available
to the Seller) the earliest date consistent with the Seller’s other commitments and
production capabilities that an aircraft to replace the Aircraft may be delivered to the
Buyer and the Scheduled Delivery Month will be extended as specified in the Seller’s notice
to accommodate the delivery of the replacement aircraft. However, if the Scheduled Delivery
Month is extended to a month that is later than ** after the last day of the original
Scheduled Delivery Month, then this Agreement will terminate with respect to said Aircraft
unless:

	 	(i)	 	the Buyer notifies the Seller within **of the date of receipt of the Seller’s
notice that it desires the Seller to provide a replacement aircraft during the month
quoted in the Seller’s notice; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the parties execute an amendment to this Agreement recording the variation in

hereunder with respect to such Aircraft, **.

option, the repair, replacement or correction of, or the supply of modification
kits rectifying the defect to any defective Warranted Part, as mutually agreed
between and satisfactory to the Buyer and the Seller, ** However, the Seller

accept Delivery and thereafter file a Warranty Claim as though the defect had
become apparent immediately after Delivery of such Aircraft.

return, have the right to inspect such Aircraft, and without prejudice to the
Seller’s rights hereunder, to repair such Aircraft either at the Buyer’s
facilities or at another mutually acceptable location at the Seller’s expense.
If the Seller agrees that the return or movement of the Aircraft to another
facility is necessary to effect the repair or correction, the Aircraft will be
transported to and from such facility at the Seller’s expense.
	 
	 	 	 	If the Seller does not agree that the return of an Aircraft is necessary for

	 	(c)	 	if repairs are to be performed in accordance with the Seller’s
written instructions set forth in applicable Technical Data, **
	 
	 	(d)	 	only to the extent reasonably necessary to
correct the defect, in accordance with the standards set forth in
Clause 12.1.11.

	 	(iii)	 	Seller’s Rights. The Seller will have the right to
require the delivery to it of any Warranted Part, or any part removed therefrom
that is claimed to be defective, if, in the Seller’s judgment, the nature of
the claimed defect requires technical investigation. Such delivery will be
subject to the provisions of Clause 12.1.7(ii).
	 
	 	 	 	Subject to applicable safety rules, the Seller will have the right to have a
representative present as an observer during the disassembly, inspection and

In-house Warranty Repair credit will comply with the requirements in Warranty
Claims under Clause 12.1.7(v) and in addition, to the extent ascertainable,

	 	(v)	 	Credit. The Buyer’s sole remedy, and the Seller’s sole
obligation and liability, in respect of In-house Warranty Repair claims,
will be a credit to the Buyer’s account. Such credit will be equal to the
sum of the direct labor cost expended in performing such repair and the
direct cost of materials incorporated in the repair. Such costs will be
determined as set forth below.

	 	(a)	 	To determine direct labor costs, only the labor
hours spent on ** disassembly, inspection, repair, reassembly, and
final inspection and test ** of the Warranted Part alone will be
counted. The hours required for maintenance work concurrently being
carried out on the Aircraft or Warranted Part will not be included.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The labor hours counted as set forth above will
be multiplied by the In-house Warranty Labor Rate. Such rate is deemed
to represent the Buyer’s composite average hourly labor rate paid to
the Buyer’s employees or to a third party that the Buyer has authorized
to perform the repair, whose jobs, in both cases, are directly related
to the performance of the repair. This labor rate is US$** (US dollars
** prevailing in ** (the “In-house Warranty Labor Rate”).
	 
	 	 	 	The In-house Warranty Labor Rate is subject to adjustment annually by
multiplying the same by the ratio ECIn/ECIb. For the purposes of
this Clause 12.1.8(v) only, ECIn is equal to the Labor Index defined
in the Seller Price Revision Formula for January of the year in which
the hours are spent and ECIb is equal to such Labor Index for **.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Direct material costs are determined by the
prices at which the Buyer acquired such replacement material, excluding
any parts and materials used for overhaul or repair furnished free of
charge by the Seller.

	 	(vi)	 	Limitation on Credit. The Buyer will in no event be
credited for repair costs (including labor and material) for any Warranted Part
to the extent that such repair costs exceed, the lower of, (x) ** the Seller’s
then current catalog price for a replacement of such Warranted Part **
	 
	 	 	 	The Seller will substantiate the costs referred to in Clause 12.1.8(vi)(y)
in writing on reasonable request by the Buyer.

	 	(vii)	 	Scrapped Material. The Buyer may, with the agreement
of the Resident Customer Support Representative, scrap any defective Warranted
Parts that are beyond economic repair and not required for technical
evaluation. If the Buyer does not obtain the written agreement of the Resident
Customer Support Representative to scrap a Warranted Part, then the Buyer will
retain such Warranted Part and any defective part removed from a Warranted Part
during repair for a period of either ** after the date of completion of repair
or **after submission of a claim for In-house Warranty Repair credit relating
thereto, whichever is longer. Such parts will be returned to the Seller within
**
	 
	 	(viii)	 	DISCLAIMER OF SELLER LIABILITY FOR BUYER’S REPAIR
	 
	 	 	 	THE SELLER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR, AND THE BUYER WILL INDEMNIFY THE SELLER
AGAINST, CLAIMS OF ANY THIRD PARTIES FOR LOSSES DUE TO ANY DEFECT,
NONCONFORMANCE OR PROBLEM OF ANY KIND, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY REPAIR OF WARRANTED PARTS UNDERTAKEN BY THE BUYER UNDER THIS CLAUSE
12.1.8 OR ANY OTHER ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN BY THE BUYER UNDER THIS CLAUSE
12.1.8, WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS ASSERTED IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, OR IS
PREMISED ON ALLEGED, ACTUAL, IMPUTED, ORDINARY OR INTENTIONAL ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF THE BUYER OR THE SELLER.

	12.1.9	 	Warranty Transferability
	 
	 	 	The warranties provided for in this Clause 12.1 for any Warranted Part will accrue
to the benefit of any operator other than the Buyer if the Warranted Part enters
into the possession of such operator as a result of a pooling agreement between such
operator and the Buyer, in accordance with the terms and subject to the limitations
and exclusions of the foregoing warranties and to applicable laws or regulations.
	 
	12.1.10	 	Warranty for Corrected, Replacement or Repaired Warranted Parts 
	 
	 	 	Whenever any Warranted Part that contains a defect for which the Seller is liable
under this Clause 12.1 has been corrected, repaired or replaced pursuant to the
terms of this Clause 12, the period of the Seller’s warranty with respect to such
corrected, repaired or replacement Warranted Part, will be the remaining portion of
the original Warranty Period in respect of such corrected, repaired or replaced

	 	 	Warranted Part. If a defect is attributable to a defective repair or replacement by
the Buyer, a Warranty Claim with respect to such defect will be rejected,
notwithstanding any subsequent correction or repair, and will immediately terminate
the remaining warranties under this Clause 12.1 in respect of the affected Warranted
Part.
	 
	12.1.11	 	Standard Airline Operation — Normal Wear and Tear
	 
	 	 	The Buyer’s rights under this Clause 12.1 are subject to the Aircraft and each
component, equipment, accessory and part thereof being maintained, overhauled,
repaired and operated in accordance with FAA regulations**
	 
	 	 	The Seller’s liability under this Clause 12.1 will not extend to normal wear and
tear nor, to the extent caused by any of the following:

that has been repaired, altered or modified after Delivery in a manner
inconsistent with the requirements of the applicable Aviation Authority or the
aircraft repair manuals, as applicable;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	any component, equipment or accessory or part thereof that has
been operated in a damaged state**
	 
	 	(iii)	 	any component, equipment, accessory or part from which the

been removed.

	 	 	The limitations of the Seller’s liability under this Clause 12.1.11 resulting from
causes described in Clauses 12.1.11(i) and 12.1.11(ii) will apply only to the extent
the Seller submits reasonable evidence that the defect arose from or was contributed
to by such causes.
	 
	12.2	 	Seller Service Life Policy
	 
	12.2.1	 	Scope and Definitions
	 
	 	 	In addition to the warranties set forth in Clause 12.1, the Seller agrees that,

	12.3.2.1	 	If any Supplier under any warranty referred to in Clause 12.3.1 defaults in the
performance of any material obligation under such warranty with respect to a Supplier Part,
the Buyer has used its best efforts to enforce its rights under such warranty, and the Buyer
submits reasonable evidence, within a reasonable time, that such default has occurred, then
Clause 12.1 of this Agreement will apply to the extent it would have applied had such Supplier
Part been a Warranted Part, to the extent the Seller can reasonably perform said Supplier’s
obligations, except that the Supplier’s warranty period indicated in the applicable Supplier
Product Support Agreement will apply.
	 
	12.3.2.2	 	If any Supplier under any service life policy referred to in Clause 12.3.1 defaults in the
performance of any material obligation under such service life policy with respect to a

policy, and the Buyer submits within a reasonable time to the Seller reasonable evidence that
such default has occurred, then Clause 12.2 will apply to the extent the same would have
applied had such Supplier Part been listed in Exhibit C, to the extent that the Seller can
reasonably perform said Supplier’s service life policy.
	 
	12.3.2.3	 	At the Seller’s request, the Buyer will assign to the Seller, and the Seller will be
subrogated to, all of the Buyer’s rights against the relevant Supplier with respect to, and

	12.4	 	Interface Commitment
	 
	12.4.1	 	Interface Problem
	 
	 	 	If the Buyer experiences any technical problem in the operation of an Aircraft or
its systems, the cause of which, after due and reasonable investigation, is not
readily identifiable by the Buyer, but which the Buyer reasonably believes to be
attributable to the design characteristics of one or more components of the Aircraft
and/or its systems (an “Interface Problem”), the Seller will, if requested
by the Buyer, and without additional charge to the Buyer, promptly conduct or have
conducted an investigation and analysis of such problem to determine, if possible,
the cause or causes of the problem and to recommend such corrective action as may be
feasible, provided, however, that if the Seller determines, after such
investigation, that the Interface Problem was due to or caused by any act or
omission of the Buyer in its performance of its obligations hereunder, the Buyer
will pay to the Seller all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Seller
during such investigation. The Buyer will furnish to the Seller all data and
information relevant to the Interface Problem in its possession and will reasonably
cooperate with the Seller in the conduct of the Seller’s investigations and such
tests as may be required. At the conclusion of such investigation the Seller will
promptly advise the Buyer in writing of the Seller’s opinion as to the cause or
causes of the Interface Problem and the Seller’s recommendations as to corrective
action.
	 
	12.4.2	 	Seller’s Responsibility
	 
	 	 	If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the
design of a Warranted Part, the Seller will, if requested by the Buyer, take prompt
action to correct the design of such Warranted Part, pursuant to the terms and
conditions of Clause 12.1.
	 
	12.4.3	 	Supplier’s Responsibility
	 
	 	 	If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the
design of any Supplier Part, the Seller will at the Buyer’s request, assist the
Buyer in processing any warranty claim the Buyer may have against the manufacturer
of such Supplier Part. **
	 
	12.4.4	 	Joint Responsibility
	 
	 	 	If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is attributable partially to the
design of a Warranted Part and partially to the design of any Supplier Part, the
Seller will, if requested by the Buyer, seek a solution to the Interface Problem
through cooperative efforts of the Seller and any Supplier(s) involved. The Seller
will promptly advise the Buyer of any corrective action proposed by the Seller

	 	 	and any such Supplier(s). Such proposal will be consistent with any then existing
obligations of the Seller hereunder and of any such Supplier to the Buyer. Such
corrective action, unless reasonably rejected by the Buyer, will constitute full
satisfaction of any claim the Buyer may have against either the Seller or any such
Supplier(s) with respect to such Interface Problem, unless such corrective action
does not resolve the Interface Problem.
	 
	12.4.5	 	General
	 
	12.4.5.1	 	All requests under this Clause 12.4 will be directed both to the Seller and the affected
Suppliers.

Buyer pursuant to this Clause 12.4 will be deemed to be delivered under this Agreement and
will be subject to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Clause 12 and in
Clause 22.7.

	7.1	 	The performance and noise certification requirements for the Aircraft, except where otherwise
noted, will be as stated in Section 02 of the Specification.
	 
	7.2	 	For the determination of FAR take-off and landing performance a hard dry level runway surface
with no runway strength limitations, no line-up allowances, no obstacles, zero wind,
atmosphere according to ISA, except as otherwise noted, and the use of centre of gravity
positions, speed brakes, flaps, landing gear and engines in the conditions liable to provide
the best results will be assumed.
	 
	7.2.1	 	When establishing take-off and second segment performance no air will be bled from the
engines for cabin air conditioning or anti-icing.
	 
	7.2.2	 	The guarantees provided in paragraphs 2.3.3, 2.3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.13, 3.14, 3.21 and 3.22
assume the use of a Trent XWB engine with adapted take-off rating providing enhanced hot day
thrust.
	 
	7.3	 	Climb, cruise and descent performance associated with the Guarantees will include allowances
for normal electrical load and for normal engine air bleed and power extraction associated
with cabin differential pressure as defined in Section 21-30.31 of the Specification. Cabin
air conditioning management during performance demonstration as described in Subparagraph 8.3
below may be such as to optimise the Aircraft performance while meeting the normal air
conditioning requirements defined above. Unless otherwise stated no air will be bled from the

	EXECUTION
	 	PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

 

 

	7	 	GUARANTEE CONDITIONS
	 
	7.1	 	The performance and noise certification requirements for the Aircraft, except where otherwise
noted, will be as stated in Section 02 of the Specification.
	 
	7.2	 	For the determination of FAR take-off and landing performance a hard dry level runway surface
with no runway strength limitations, no line-up allowances, no obstacles, zero wind,
atmosphere according to ISA, except as otherwise noted, and the use of centre of gravity
positions, speed brakes, flaps, landing gear and engines in the conditions liable to provide
the best results will be assumed.
	 
	7.2.1	 	When establishing take-off and second segment performance no air will be bled from the
engines for cabin air conditioning or anti-icing.
	 
	7.3	 	Climb, cruise and descent performance associated with the Guarantees will include allowances
for normal electrical load and for normal engine air bleed and power extraction associated
with cabin differential pressure as defined in Section 21-30.31 of the Specification. Cabin
air conditioning management during performance demonstration as described in Subparagraph 8.3
below may be such as to optimise the Aircraft performance while meeting the normal air
conditioning requirements defined above. Unless otherwise stated no air will be bled from the
engines for anti-icing.
	 
	 	 	Cruise performance at 20,000 ft and above is based on an optimized centre of gravity
position.
	 
	7.4	 	The engines will be operated using not more than the engine manufacturer’s maximum
recommended outputs for take-off, maximum go-round, maximum continuous, maximum climb and
cruise for normal operation unless otherwise stated.
	 
	7.5	 	Where applicable the Guarantees assume the use of an approved fuel having a density of 6.7 lb
per US gallon and a lower heating value of 18,590 BTU per lb.
	 
	7.6	 	Speech Interference Level (SIL) is defined as the arithmetic average of the sound pressure
levels in the 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz octave bands. A-Weighted sound pressure level (dB(A)) is
as defined in the American National Standard Specification ANSI.4-1971.
	 
	7.7	 	All guaranteed interior noise levels refer to an A350-900 XWB Aircraft with standard acoustic
insulation and an interior completely furnished. The effect of Buyer furnished equipment other
than leather passenger seats (leather seats or acoustically equivalent) will be the
responsibility of the Buyer (Remark: Standard seats tend to decrease interior noise levels by
1-2 dB)
	 
	7.8	 	For purposes of the sound levels guaranteed in Clause 5.2.1.2 of this Letter Agreement, the
APU and air conditioning system will be operating. Sound level measurements may be made at
the prevailing ambient temperature with the air conditioning packs
controlled to approximate air conditioning machinery rotational speed appropriate to an ambient
temperature of 25C.

	8.1	 	Compliance with the Guarantees will be demonstrated using operating procedures and
limitations in accordance with those defined by the certifying Airworthiness Authority and by
the Seller unless otherwise stated.
	 
	8.2	 	Compliance with the take-off, second segment, en-route one engine inoperative, approach climb
and landing elements of the Guarantees will be demonstrated with reference to the approved
Flight Manual.
	 
	8.3	 	Compliance with those parts of the Guarantees defined in paragraph 2 and 3 above not covered
by the requirements of the certifying Airworthiness Authority will be demonstrated by
calculation based on data obtained during flight tests conducted on one (or more, at the
Seller’s discretion) aircraft of the same aerodynamic configuration as the Aircraft and
incorporated in the In-Flight Performance Program and data bases (“the IFP”) appropriate to
the Aircraft.
	 
	8.4	 	Compliance with the Structure Usable Load guarantee defined in Paragraph 4 will be
demonstrated with reference to a weight compliance report.
	 
	8.5	 	The approved A350-900 XWB Aircraft flight manual will be used to demonstrate compliance with
the guarantees of certification noise levels.
	 
	8.6	 	Compliance with the APU noise and interior noise guarantees will be demonstrated with
reference to noise surveys conducted on one (or more, at the Seller’s discretion) A350-900 XWB
Aircraft of an acoustically equivalent standard to those A350-900 XWB Aircraft purchased by
the Buyer.
	 
	8.7	 	Data derived from flight tests and noise surveys will be adjusted as required using
conventional methods of correction, interpolation or extrapolation in accordance with
established aeronautical practices to show compliance with the Guarantees.
	 
	8.8	 	Compliance with the Guarantees is not contingent on engine performance defined in the engine
manufacturer’s specification.
	 
	8.9	 	The Seller undertakes to furnish the Buyer with a report or reports demonstrating compliance
with the Guarantees at, or as soon as possible after, the delivery of each of the A350-900 XWB
Aircraft.
