   EXHIBIT A to Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement

EXHIBIT E (PW)  

PRATT & WHITNEY PRICE REVISION FORMULA  

        l.    REFERENCE PRICE    

        The
Reference Price of the Pratt & Whitney PW 4168A Propulsion Systems is as quoted in Subclause 4.1.2.1 of the Agreement. 

        This
Reference Price is subject to adjustment for changes in economic conditions as measured by data obtained from the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Exhibit E. 

        2.    REFERENCE PERIOD    

        The
above Reference Price has been established in accordance with the economic conditions prevailing in February 2001, as defined, according to Pratt & Whitney, by the HEb
and ICb index values indicated in Paragraph 4 of this Exhibit E. 

        3.    REFERENCE INDEXES    

        Labor Index:    "Aircraft Engines and Engine Parts," Standard Industrial Classification 3724—Average hourly earnings
(hereinafter referred to as "HE SIC 3724"), published by the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, in "Employment and Earnings," (Table B-15: Average hours and earnings of
production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls by detailed industry) or such other names that may be from time to time used for the publication title and/or table. 

        Material Index:    "Industrial Commodities" (hereinafter referred to as "IC-Index"), published monthly by the US
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, in "PPI Detailed Report" (Table 6: Producer prices indexes and percent changes for commodity groupings and individual items, not seasonally adjusted)
or such other names that may be from time to time used for the publication title and/or table. (Base year 1982 = 100). 

        4.    REVISION FORMULA    

	Pn	 	=	 	Pb × [0.65(HEn/HEb) + 0.35(ICn/ICb)]
	

Where	
 	

 	
 	

 
	

Pn	
 	

=	
 	

Revised Reference Price of the Propulsion Systems at delivery of the Aircraft
	

Pb	
 	

=	
 	

Reference Price at economic conditions February 2001
	

HEn	
 	

=	
 	

HE SIC 3724 for the sixth month prior to the month of delivery of the Aircraft
	

HEb	
 	

=	
 	

HE SIC 3724 for February 2001 (= 20.30)
	

ICn	
 	

=	
 	

IC-Index for the sixth month prior to the month of delivery of the Aircraft
	

ICb	
 	

=	
 	

IC-Index for February 2001 (= 139.7)
	

 	
 	

 	
 	

 

        In
each computation, if the next succeeding place is five (5) or more the preceding decimal place will be raised to the next higher figure. In determining the Revised Reference
Price, each quotient will be calculated to the nearest ten thousandth (4 decimals). The final factor will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimals). 

        After
final computation, Pn will be rounded to the next whole number. 

16

 

        5.    GENERAL PROVISIONS    

        5.1  The
Revised Reference Price at delivery of the Aircraft will be the final price and will not be subject to further adjustments in the indexes. 

        5.2  The
Revised Reference Price at delivery of the Aircraft will in no event be less than the Reference Price defined in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E. 

        5.3  If
no final index value is available for any of the applicable months, the published preliminary figures will be the basis on which the Revised Reference Price will be
computed. 

        5.4  If
the US Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology of calculation of the indexes referred to in this Exhibit E or discontinues any of these
indexes, AVSA will, reflect the substitute for the revised or discontinued index selected by Pratt & Whitney, such substitute index to lead in application to the same adjustment result, insofar
as possible, as would have been achieved by continuing the use of the original index as it may have fluctuated had it not been revised or discontinued. 

        Appropriate
revision of the formula will be made to accomplish this result. 

        5.5  Should
the above escalation provisions become null and void by action of the US Government, the Reference Price will be adjusted to reflect increases in the cost of
labor and material, which have occurred from the period represented by the applicable Reference Price Indexes to the sixth month prior to the scheduled delivery of the Aircraft.
