2.1.2.1                                                 The Seller is currently developing a new engine option (the “New Engine Option” or “NEO”), applicable to the A330-200 and A330-300 aircraft. Hence, the specification of the A330neo Aircraft will be derived from the current respective A330-200 Standard Specification and A330-300 Standard Specification and based on the new sole source Propulsion Systems, as set forth in Clause 2.3 below, and the Sharklets, as well as wing span extension, aerodynamic adaptations of the wing and wing-to-fuselage junction, required airframe structural modifications and aircraft systems and software adaptations required to operate such A330neo Aircraft; in the case of the A330-900neo, the A330neo Aircraft will also include a fuel centre tank (collectively the “New Engine Option Changes”).

 

Consequently, the implementation of these New Engine Option Changes is hereby irrevocably accepted by the Buyer and will be reflected in the first issue of respectively the A330-800neo aircraft and A330-900neo aircraft standard specification(s) (respectively the “A330-800neo Standard Specification” and the “A330-900neo Standard Specification” and together the “A330neo Standard Specifications”) when the design of each of such A330neo aircraft type will have been frozen (the “NEO Specification Freeze”).

The Specification may be amended by written agreement between the parties in a Specification Change Notice (SCN).  Each SCN will be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit B1 and will set out the SCN’s Aircraft embodiment rank and will also set forth, in detail, the particular change to be made to the Specification and the effect, if any, of such change on design, performance, weight, Delivery Date of the Aircraft affected thereby and on the text of the Specification. An SCN may result in an adjustment of the Aircraft Base Price, which adjustment, if any, will be specified in the SCN.

 

 

2.2.2                                                                Development Changes

 

The Specification may also be amended to incorporate changes deemed necessary by the Seller to improve the Aircraft, prevent delay or ensure compliance with this Agreement (“Development Changes”), as set forth in this Clause 2.

 

2.2.2.1                                                    Manufacturer Specification Changes Notices

 

2.2.2.1.1                                     The Specification may be amended by the Seller through a Manufacturer Specification Change Notice (“MSCN”), which will be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit B2 hereto and will set out the MSCN’s Aircraft embodiment rank as well as, in detail, the particular change to be made to the Specification and the effect, if any, of such change on performance, weight, Aircraft Base Price, Delivery Date of the Aircraft affected thereby and interchangeability or replaceability requirements under the Specification.

 

2.2.2.1.2                                     Except when the MSCN is necessitated by an Aviation Authority directive or by equipment obsolescence, in which case the MSCN will be accomplished without requiring the Buyer’s consent, if the MSCN adversely affects the performance, weight, Aircraft Base Price, Delivery Date of the Aircraft affected thereby or the interchangeability or replaceability requirements under the Specification, the Seller will notify the Buyer of a reasonable period of time during which the Buyer must accept or reject such MSCN. If the Buyer does not notify the Seller of the rejection of the MSCN within such period, the MSCN will be deemed accepted by the Buyer and the corresponding modification will be accomplished.

 

 

2.2.2.2                                                    In the event of the Seller revising the Specification to incorporate Development Changes which have no adverse effect on any of the elements as set forth in 2.2.2.1 above, such revision will be performed by the Seller without the Buyer’s consent.

 

In such cases, the Buyer will have access to the details of such changes through the relevant application in AirbusWorld.

Notwithstanding any other rights the Seller may have at contract or at law, the Buyer and the Seller hereby agree that should any amount (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the Buyer and its Affiliates on the one hand and the Seller and its Affiliates on the other hand and whether at the stated maturity of such amount, by acceleration or otherwise) become due and payable by the Buyer or its Affiliates, and not be paid in full in immediately available funds on the date due, then the Seller will have the right to debit and apply, in whole or in part, the Predelivery Payments paid to the Seller by the Buyer against such unpaid amount. The Seller will promptly notify the Buyer in writing after such debiting and

The amount of such compensation will be calculated using [*] on the amount of such overdue payment, counting from and including the due date of such payment up to  the day prior to the date such payment is received by the Seller. The Seller’s right to receive such interest will be in addition to any other rights of the Seller hereunder or at law.

 

5.8.2                                                                If [*] Predelivery Payment(s) [*] remains unpaid following the date(s) on which such Predelivery Payment(s) is/(are) due [*] (the “Late Predelivery Payment”); the Seller will have, in addition to any remedy under the Agreement, no obligation to deliver any or all of the Aircraft remaining to be delivered under this Agreement within their respective Scheduled Delivery Month(s). Upon receipt of the full amount of all delayed Predelivery Payments, together with any amount due pursuant to Clause 5.8.1, the Seller will inform the Buyer of new Scheduled Delivery Month(s) consistent with the Seller’s other commitments and production capabilities.

 

 

5.9                                                                            Proprietary Interest

 

Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the Buyer will not, by virtue of anything contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Commitment Fee or Predelivery Payments hereunder, or any designation or identification by the Seller of a particular aircraft as an Aircraft to which any of the provisions of this Agreement refers) acquire any proprietary, insurable or other interest whatsoever in any Aircraft before Delivery of and payment for such Aircraft, as provided in this Agreement.

 

 

5.10                                                                    Payment in Full

 

The Buyer’s obligation to make payments to the Seller hereunder will not be affected by and will be determined without regard to any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that the Buyer may have against the Seller or any other person and all such payments will be made without deduction or withholding of any kind. The Buyer will ensure that the sums received by the Seller under this Agreement will be equal to the full amounts expressed to be due to the Seller hereunder, without deduction or withholding on account of and free from any and all taxes, levies, imposts, duties or charges of whatever nature, except that if the Buyer is compelled by law to make any such deduction or withholding the Buyer will pay such additional amounts to the Seller as may be necessary so that the net

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

 

The Aircraft will have been type certificated  under EASA and FAA procedures for certification in the transport category. The Seller will obtain or cause to be obtained the relevant  type certificate (the “Type Certificate”) to allow the issuance of the Export Certificate of Airworthiness, or as Aircraft are to be registered in a Member State of the European Community, the Statement of Conformity.

 

7.2                                                                            Export Certificate of Airworthiness

 

The Aircraft will be delivered to the Buyer with an Export Certificate of Airworthiness and/or with a Statement of Conformity, as applicable.

 

Subject to the provisions of Clause 7.3, the Aircraft will be delivered to the Buyer with an Export Certificate of Airworthiness and in a condition enabling the Buyer to obtain at the time of Delivery a Standard Airworthiness Certificate issued pursuant to Part 21 and Part 26 of the US Federal Aviation Regulations and a Certificate of Sanitary Construction issued by the U.S. Public Health Service of the 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 such Aircraft to enable such Aircraft to meet FAA Part 121 and Part 129 or U.S. Department of Transportation requirements for specific operation on the Buyer’s and/or Initial Operator’s routes, whether before, at or after Delivery of any Aircraft. [*]

 

7.3                                                                            Specification Changes before Aircraft Ready for Delivery

 

7.3.1                If, any time before the date on which the Aircraft 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 by the EASA that requires any change to the Specification for the purposes of obtaining the Export Certificate of Airworthiness or issuing the Statement of Conformity (a “Change in Law”), the Seller will make the required modification and the parties hereto will sign an SCN or MSCN which specifies the effects, if any, upon the guaranteed performances, weights, interchangeability, time of Delivery, price of the Aircraft and text of the Specification.

 

7.3.2                The Seller will as far as practicable, but at its sole discretion and without prejudice to Clause 7.3.3(ii), take into account the information available to it concerning any proposed law, rule or regulation or interpretation that could become a Change in Law, in order to minimize the costs of changes to the Specification as a result of such proposed law, regulation or interpretation becoming effective before the applicable Aircraft is Ready for Delivery.

 

 

7.3.3                                                               The cost of implementing the required modifications referred to in Clause 7.3.1 will be:

8.2                                                                            Buyer’s Attendance

 

8.2.1                                                                The Buyer will be entitled to attend the Technical Acceptance Process and notification of the start of such Technical Acceptance Process will be done in accordance with Clause 9.1.2.

 

8.2.2                                                                If the Buyer elects to attend 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 six (6) Business Days, and

 

(ii)          may have a maximum of [*] of its representatives [*] 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.

The Buyer or the Initial Operator as applicable will make direct arrangements with the supplying companies for the fuel and oil required for all post-Delivery flights.

10.2                                                                    In the event that the delivery of an Aircraft will be delayed by reason of an Excusable Delay for a period of more than [*] after the end of the calendar month in which delivery is otherwise required hereunder, [*] will be entitled to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft upon notice given to [*] within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such [*] period. In the event such delay will continue for an additional [*] period after the expiration of such [*] period, [*] will have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft upon notice given to [*] within thirty (30) days after the end of such additional [*] period.

end of the calendar month in which delivery is otherwise required (unless the Seller concludes that, by reason of any Excusable Delay, delivery of such Aircraft will not occur), and as a result thereof in good faith and in accordance with its normal scheduling procedures internally reschedules delivery of such Aircraft to a date reflecting such delays, the Seller will notify the Buyer in writing of such delay and rescheduling or, as the case may be, of such non-delivery, (i) in the event of such delay or non-delivery, Buyer may terminate this Agreement or (ii) in the event of such non-delivery Seller may terminate this Agreement as to such Aircraft in each case by giving written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Buyer of such notice of anticipated delay. Such termination will discharge all obligations and liabilities of the Buyer and Seller hereunder to the extent related to such Aircraft, [*]. Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 19, the Buyer will not be entitled to [*] terminate this Agreement as to any Aircraft under this Clause 10 by reason of an Excusable Delay if such delay is caused by the negligence or fault of the Buyer or its representative.

 

10.4                                                                    If, following notice of an anticipated delay under sub-Clause 10.3, this Agreement, with respect to the affected Aircraft, is not terminated in accordance with the provisions of such sub-Clause, then the time of delivery otherwise required hereunder will be extended by a period equal to the delay specified in such notice.

 

10.5                                                                    If an event occurs prior to delivery of an Aircraft which could result in such Aircraft being lost, destroyed or damaged beyond economic repair (“Total Loss”), the Seller will immediately notify Buyer of the occurrence of such event with the understanding that the Seller is still making its determination of what consequences such event has on the Aircraft. Should the Aircraft be subject to a Total Loss prior to delivery further to such event, a further notice will specify the earliest date reasonably possible, consistent with the Seller’s other contractual commitments and production capabilities, by which the Seller would be able to deliver a replacement for such Aircraft. This Agreement will terminate as to such Aircraft unless the Buyer gives the Seller written notice, within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Buyer of the notice from the Seller of such Total Loss, that the Buyer desires the Seller to manufacture and deliver to the Buyer a replacement for such Aircraft. If the Buyer gives such notice to the Seller, the Seller will manufacture and deliver to the Buyer, at the earliest date reasonably possible consistent with the Seller’s other contractual commitments and production capabilities, an aircraft to replace the Aircraft subject to Total Loss, and the parties will execute an amendment to the Agreement to which such Aircraft subject to Total Loss related to evidence the delivery date for such replacement aircraft; provided, however, that nothing herein will obligate the Seller to manufacture and deliver such replacement aircraft if such manufacture would require the reactivation of its production line for the model of aircraft purchased hereunder. The terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to the Aircraft subject to Total Loss will apply to the replacement aircraft. In the event of termination of this Agreement as to an Aircraft subject to Total Loss, the obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder to the extent related to such Aircraft will be discharged.

10.7                                                                    Termination Rights Exclusive

This Clause covers the terms and conditions of the warranty and service life policy.

 

 

12.1                                                                    Standard Warranty

 

12.1.1                                                        Nature of Warranty

 

For the purpose of this Agreement the term “Warranted Part” will mean any Seller proprietary component, equipment, accessory or part or software, which is installed on an Aircraft at Delivery thereof and

 

(a)                  which is manufactured to the detailed design of the Seller or a subcontractor of the Seller and

 

(b)                  which bears a part number of the Seller at the time of such Delivery.

 

Subject to the conditions and limitations as hereinafter provided for and except as provided for in Clause 12.1.2, the Seller warrants to the Buyer that each Aircraft and each Warranted Part will at Delivery to the Buyer be free from defects:

 

(i)                       in material;

 

(ii)                    in workmanship, including without limitation processes of manufacture;

 

(iii)                 in design (including without limitation the selection of materials) having regard to the state of the art at the date of such design; and

 

(iv)               arising from failure to conform to the Specification, except to those portions of the Specification relating to performance or where it is expressly stated that such portions  are estimates or approximations or design aims.

 

12.1.2                                                        Exclusions

 

The warranties set forth in Clause 12.1.1 will not apply to Buyer Furnished Equipment, nor to the Propulsion Systems, nor to any component, equipment, accessory or part installed on the Aircraft at Delivery that is not a Warranted Part except that:

 

(i)                       any defect in the Seller’s workmanship in respect of the installation of such items in the Aircraft, including any failure by the Seller to conform to the installation instructions of the manufacturers of such items, that invalidates any applicable warranty from such manufacturers, will constitute a defect in workmanship for the purpose of this Clause 12.1 and be covered by the warranty set forth in Clause 12.1.1 (ii); and

 

(ii)                    any defect inherent in the Seller’s design of the installation, in consideration of the state of the art at the date of such design, which impairs the use of such items, will constitute a defect in design for the purpose of this Clause 12.1 and be covered by the warranty set forth in Clause 12.1.1 (iii).

12.1.3                                                        Warranty Period

 

The warranties set forth in Clauses 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 will be limited to those defects that become apparent within [*] months after Delivery of the affected Aircraft (the “Warranty Period”).

 

 

12.1.4                                                        Limitations of Warranty

 

12.1.4.1                                            The Buyer’s remedy and the Seller’s obligation and liability under Clauses 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 are limited to, at the Seller’s expense and option, the repair, replacement or correction of any Warranted Part which is defective (or to the supply of modification kits rectifying the defect), together with a credit to the Buyer’s account with the Seller of an amount equal to the mutually agreed direct labor costs expended in performing the removal and the reinstallation thereof on the Aircraft at the labor rate defined in Clause 12.1.7.5.

 

The Seller may alternatively furnish to the Buyer’s account with the Seller a credit for the future purchase of goods and services (not including Aircraft or aircraft) equal to the price at which the Buyer is entitled to purchase a replacement for the defective Warranted Part.

 

12.1.4.2                                            In the event of a defect covered by Clauses 12.1.1 (iii), 12.1.1 (iv) and 12.1.2 (ii) becoming apparent within the Warranty Period, the Seller will also, if so requested by the Buyer in writing, correct such defect in any Aircraft which has not yet been delivered to the Buyer, provided, however,

 

(i)                       that the Seller will not be responsible, nor be deemed to be in default on account of any delay in Delivery of any Aircraft or otherwise in respect of the performance of this Agreement, due to the Seller’s undertaking to make such correction and provided further

 

(ii)                    that, rather than accept a delay in the Delivery of any such Aircraft, the Buyer and the Seller may agree to deliver such Aircraft with subsequent correction of the defect by the Buyer at the Seller’s expense, or the Buyer may elect to accept Delivery and thereafter file a Warranty Claim as though the defect had become apparent immediately after Delivery of such Aircraft.

 

12.1.4.3                                            Cost of inspection

 

In addition to the remedies set forth in Clauses 12.1.4.1 and 12.1.4.2, the Seller will reimburse the direct labor costs incurred by the Buyer in performing inspections of the Aircraft to determine whether or not a defect exists in any Warranted Part within the Warranty Period subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)                       such inspections are recommended by a Seller Service Bulletin to be performed within the Warranty Period;

 

(ii)                    the reimbursement will not apply for any inspections performed as an alternative to accomplishing corrective action as recommended by the Seller when such corrective action has been made available to the Buyer and such corrective action could have reasonably been accomplished by the Buyer at the time such inspections are performed or earlier;

(iii)                 the labor rate for the reimbursement will be the Inhouse Warranty Labor Rate; and

 

(iv)               the manhours used to determine such reimbursement will not exceed the Seller’s estimate of the manhours required for such inspections.

 

12.1.5                                                        Warranty Claim Requirements

 

The Buyer’s remedy and the Seller’s obligation and liability under this Clause 12.1 with respect to any warranty claim submitted by the Buyer (each a “Warranty Claim”) are subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)                       the defect having become apparent within the Warranty Period;

 

(ii)                    the Buyer having filed a warranty claim within [*];

 

(iii)                 the Buyer having submitted to the Seller evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Seller that the claimed defect is due to a matter covered under the provisions of this Clause 12.1 and that such defect has not resulted from any act or omission of the Buyer, including but not limited to, any failure to operate and maintain the affected Aircraft or part thereof in accordance with the standards set forth in Clause 12.1.10 or from any act or omission of any third party;

 

(iv)               the Seller having received a Warranty Claim complying with the provisions of Clause 12.1.6 below.

 

 

12.1.6                                                        Warranty Administration

 

The warranties set forth in Clause 12.1 will be administered as hereinafter provided for:

 

12.1.6.1                                            Claim Determination

 

Determination as to whether any claimed defect in any Warranted Part is a valid Warranty Claim will be made by the Seller and will be based upon the claim details, reports from the Seller’s Representatives, historical data logs, inspections, tests, findings during repair, defect analysis and other relevant documents and information.

 

12.1.6.2                                            Transportation Costs

 

The cost of transporting a Warranted Part claimed to be defective to the facilities designated by the Seller and for the return therefrom of a repaired or replaced Warranted Part will be borne by the Seller.

12.1.6.4                                            On Aircraft Work by the Seller

 

If the Seller determines that a defect subject to this Clause 12.1 justifies the dispatch by the Seller of a working team to repair or correct such defect through the embodiment of one or several Seller’s Service Bulletins at the Buyer’s facilities, or if the Seller accepts the return of an Aircraft to perform or have performed such repair or correction, then the labor costs for such on-Aircraft work will be borne by the Seller.

 

The condition which has to be fulfilled for on-Aircraft work by the Seller is that, in the opinion of the Seller, the work necessitates the technical expertise of the Seller as manufacturer of the Aircraft.

 

If said condition is fulfilled and if the Seller is requested to perform the work, the Seller and the Buyer will agree on a schedule and place for the work to be performed.

 

12.1.6.5                                            Warranty Claim Substantiation

(ii)                                a labor rate to be agreed between the Buyer and the Seller and corresponding to the Inhouse Warranty Labour Rate generally applicable to operators of Airbus aircraft in the region, in the event that the Operator of the Buyer’s Aircraft is not already an Airbus aircraft operator.

 

(c)      Direct material costs are determined by the prices at which the Buyer acquired such material, excluding any parts and materials used for overhaul and as may be furnished by the Seller at no charge.

Without prejudice to Clause 21.1, the warranties provided for in this Clause 12.1 for any Warranted Part will accrue to the benefit of any airline in revenue service, other than the Operator, if the Warranted Part enters into the possession of any such airline as a result of a pooling or leasing arrangement between such airline and the Operator, in accordance with the terms and subject to the limitations and exclusions of the foregoing warranties and to the extent permitted by any applicable law or regulations.

 

12.1.9                                                        Warranty for Corrected, Replaced or Repaired Warranted Parts

 

Whenever any Warranted Part, which contains a defect for which the Seller is liable under Clause 12.1, has been corrected, replaced or repaired pursuant to the terms of this Clause 12.1, the period of the Seller’s warranty with respect to such corrected, repaired or replacement Warranted Part, whichever the case may be, will be the remaining portion of the original warranty or [*] months, whichever is longer.

 

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.

The Seller’s liability under this Clause 12.1 will not extend to normal wear and tear nor to:

 

(i)                       any Aircraft or component, equipment, accessory or part thereof, which has been repaired, altered or modified after Delivery, except by the Seller or in a manner approved by the Seller;

 

(ii)                    any Aircraft or component, equipment, accessory or part thereof, which has been operated in a damaged state;

12.3.1.2.2                                If any Supplier, under any Supplier service life policy referred to in Clause 12.3.1, defaults in the performance of any material obligation with respect thereto and the Buyer submits to the Seller reasonable and timely evidence that such default has occurred, then Clause 12.2 will apply to the extent the same would have been applicable had such Supplier item been listed in Exhibit F, Seller Service Life Policy, except that the Supplier’s service life policy period as indicated in the Supplier Product Support Agreement will apply.

 

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 arising by reason of such default and will provide reasonable assistance to enable the Seller to enforce the rights so assigned.

If the Buyer experiences any technical problem in the operation of an Aircraft or its systems due to a malfunction, 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 (“Interface Problem”), the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer, and without additional charge to the Buyer except for transportation of the Seller’s or its designee’s personnel to the Buyer’s facilities, 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. The Buyer will furnish to the Seller all data and information in the Buyer’s possession relevant to the Interface Problem and will 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.

If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of a Warranted Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer and pursuant to the terms and conditions of Clause 12.1, correct the design of such Warranted Part to the extent of the Seller’s obligation as defined in Clause 12.1.

 

12.4.3                                                        Supplier’s Responsibility

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 so requested by the Buyer, seek a solution to the Interface Problem through cooperative efforts of the Seller and any Supplier involved.

 

The Seller will promptly advise the Buyer of such corrective action as may be proposed by the Seller and any such Supplier. Such proposal will be consistent with any then existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of any such Supplier towards the Buyer. Such corrective action will constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Buyer may have against either the Seller or any such Supplier with respect to such Interface Problem.

The remedies provided to the Buyer under Clause 12.1 and Clause 12.2 as to any defect in respect of the Aircraft or any part thereof are mutually exclusive and not cumulative. The Buyer will be entitled to the remedy that provides the maximum benefit to it, as the Buyer may elect, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Clause 12 for any particular defect for which remedies are provided under this Clause 12; provided, however, that the Buyer will not be entitled to elect a remedy under both Clause 12.1 and Clause 12.2 for the same defect. The Buyer’s rights and remedies herein for the nonperformance of any obligations or liabilities of the Seller arising under these warranties will be in monetary damages limited to the amount the Buyer expends in procuring a correction or replacement for any covered part subject to a defect or nonperformance covered by this Clause 12, and the Buyer will not have any right to require specific performance by the Seller.

(i)                       the Specification has been agreed upon after careful consideration by the Buyer using its judgment as a professional operator of aircraft used in public transportation and as such is a professional within the same industry as the Seller;

 

(ii)                    this Agreement, and in particular this Clause 12, has been the subject of discussion and negotiation and is fully understood by the Buyer; and

 

(iii)                 the price of the Aircraft and the other mutual agreements of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement were arrived at in consideration of, inter alia, the provisions of this Clause 12, specifically including the waiver, release and renunciation by the Buyer set forth in Clause 12.5.

 

 

12.8                                                                    Disclosure to Third Party Entity

 

In the event of the Buyer intending to designate a third party entity (a “Third Party Entity”) to administrate this Clause 12, the Buyer will notify the Seller of such intention prior to any disclosure of this Clause to the selected Third Party Entity and will cause such Third Party Entity to enter into a confidentiality agreement and or any other relevant documentation with the Seller solely for the purpose of administrating this Clause 12.

 

 

12.9                                                                    Transferability

Any transfer in violation of this Clause 12.9 will, as to the particular Aircraft involved, void the rights and warranties of the Buyer under this Clause 12.

15.2.1                                                        From the date of arrival of the first Seller Representative and for the duration of the assignment, the Buyer will provide free of charge a suitable, lockable office, conveniently located with respect to the Buyer’s maintenance facilities, with complete office furniture and equipment including telephone, internet, email and facsimile connections for the sole use of the Seller Representative(s).

Failure of the Seller to obtain the necessary documents will relieve the Seller of any obligation to the Buyer under the provisions of Clause 15.1.

15.3                                                                    Withdrawal of the Seller Representative

16.1.2                   The range, quantity and validity of training to be provided free of charge under this Agreement are covered in Appendix A to this Clause 16.

 

16.1.3                   Scheduling of training courses covered in Appendix A will be mutually agreed during a training conference (the “Training Conference”) that will be held no later than nine (9) months prior to Delivery of the first Aircraft.

 

 

16.2                       Training Location

 

16.2.1                   The Seller will provide training at its training center in Blagnac, France, and/or in Hamburg, Germany, or will designate an affiliated training center in Miami, U.S.A., or Beijing, China (individually a “Seller’s Training Center” and collectively the “Seller’s Training Centers”).

 

16.2.2                   If the unavailability of facilities or scheduling difficulties make training by the Seller at any Seller’s Training Center impractical, the Seller will ensure that the Buyer is provided with such training at another location designated by the Seller.

 

16.2.3.1               Upon the Buyer’s request, the Seller may also provide certain training at a location other than the Seller’s Training Centers, including one of the Buyer’s bases, if and when practicable for the Seller, under terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon. In such event, all additional charges listed in Clauses 16.5.2 and 16.5.3 will be borne by the Buyer.

16.3                       Training Courses

 

16.3.1                   Training courses will be as described in the Seller’s customer services catalog (the “Seller’s Customer Services Catalog”). The Seller’s Customer Services Catalog also sets forth the minimum and maximum number of trainees per course.

 

All training requests or training course changes not made during the Training Conference will be submitted by the Buyer with a minimum of three (3) months prior notice.

 

16.3.2                   The following terms and conditions will apply to training performed by the Seller:

 

(i)      Training courses will be the Seller’s standard courses as described in the Seller’s Customer Services Catalog valid at the time of execution of the course. The Seller will be responsible for all training course syllabi, training aids and training equipment necessary for the organization of the training courses.  For the avoidance of doubt, such training equipment does not include provision of aircraft for the purpose of performing training.

 

(ii)     The training equipment and the training curricula used for the training of flight, cabin and maintenance personnel will not be fully customized but will be configured in order to obtain the relevant Aviation Authority’s approval and to support the Seller’s training programs.

 

(iii)     Training data and documentation for trainees receiving the training at the Seller’s Training Centers will be provided free of charge. Training data and documentation will be marked “FOR TRAINING ONLY” and as such are supplied for the sole and express purpose of training; training data and documentation will not be revised.

 

16.3.3                   When the Seller’s training courses are provided by the Seller’s instructors (individually an “Instructor” and collectively “Instructors”) the Seller will deliver a Certificate of Recognition or a Certificate of Course Completion (each a “Certificate”) or an attestation (an “Attestation”), as applicable, at the end of any such training course. Any such Certificate or Attestation will not represent authority or qualification by any Aviation Authority but may be presented to such Aviation Authority in order to obtain relevant formal qualification.

 

In the event of training courses being provided by a training provider selected by the Seller as set forth in Clause 16.2.2, the Seller will cause such training provider to deliver a Certificate or Attestation, which will not represent authority or qualification by any Aviation Authority, but may be presented to such Aviation Authority in order to obtain relevant formal qualification.

 

16.3.4.1               Should the Buyer wish to exchange any of the training courses provided under Appendix A hereto, the Buyer will place a request for exchange to this effect with the Seller. The Buyer may exchange, subject to the Seller’s confirmation, the training allowances granted under Appendix A of the present Agreement as follows:

 

(i)      flight operations training courses as listed under Article 1 of Appendix A against any flight operations training courses described in the Seller’s Customer Services Catalog current at the time of the Buyer’s request;

 

(ii)    maintenance training courses as listed under Article 3 of Appendix A against any maintenance training courses described in the Seller’s Customer Services Catalog current at the time of the Buyer’s request;

Page 64/140

 
    

 

 

(iii)     should any one of the allowances granted thereunder (flight operations or maintenance) have been fully drawn upon, the Buyer will be entitled to exchange flight operations or maintenance training courses as needed against the remaining allowances.

 

The exchange value will be based on the Seller’s “Training Course Exchange Matrix” applicable at the time of the request for exchange and which will be provided to the Buyer at such time.

 

It is understood that the above provisions will apply to the extent that training allowances granted under Appendix A remain in credit to the full extent necessary to perform the exchange.

18.1                                                                    Administration

 

18.1.1.1                                            In accordance with the Specification, the Seller will install those items of equipment that are identified in the Specification as being furnished by the Buyer (“Buyer Furnished Equipment” or “BFE”), provided that the BFE and the supplier of such BFE (the “BFE Supplier”) are referred to in the Airbus BFE Product Catalog valid at the time the BFE Supplier is selected.

 

18.1.1.2                                            Notwithstanding the foregoing and without prejudice to Clause 2.4, if the Buyer wishes to install BFE manufactured by a supplier who is not referred to in the Airbus BFE Product Catalog, the Buyer will so inform the Seller and the Seller will conduct a feasibility study of the Buyer’s request, in order to consider approving such supplier, provided that such request is compatible with the Seller’s industrial planning and the associated Scheduled Delivery Month for the Buyer’s Aircraft. In addition, it is a prerequisite to such approval that the considered supplier be qualified by the Seller’s Aviation Authorities to produce equipment for installation on civil aircraft. Any approval of a supplier by the Seller will be performed at the Buyer’s expense. The Buyer will cause any BFE supplier approved under this Clause 18.1.1.2 (each an “Approved BFE Supplier”) to comply with the conditions set forth in this Clause 18 and specifically Clause 18.2.

 

Except for the specific purposes of this Clause 18.1.1.2, the term “BFE Supplier” will be deemed to include Approved BFE Suppliers.

 

18.1.2.1                                            The Seller will advise the Buyer of the dates by which, in the planned release of engineering for the Aircraft, the Seller requires a written detailed engineering definition encompassing a Declaration of Design and Performance (the “BFE Engineering Definition”). The Seller will provide to the Buyer and/or the BFE Supplier(s), within an appropriate timeframe, the necessary interface documentation to enable the development of the BFE Engineering Definition.

 

The BFE Engineering Definition will include the description of the dimensions and weight of BFE, the information related to its certification and the information necessary for the installation and operation thereof, including when applicable 3D models compatible with the Seller’s systems. The Buyer will furnish, or cause the BFE Suppliers to furnish, the BFE Engineering Definition by the dates mutually agreed during the initial technical coordination meeting to be organised by the Seller between the Seller, the Buyer and BFE Suppliers in accordance with the Customization Milestones Chart of the Aircraft and in order to reach the final detailed definition of the cabin section including BFE (the “ITCM”).

 

Thereafter, the BFE Engineering Definition will not be revised, except through an SCN executed in accordance with Clause 2.

 

18.1.2.2                                            The Seller will also provide in due time to the Buyer a schedule of dates and the shipping addresses for delivery of the BFE and, where requested by the Seller, additional spare BFE to permit installation in the Aircraft and Delivery of the Aircraft in accordance with the Aircraft delivery schedule. The Buyer will provide, or cause the BFE Suppliers to provide, the BFE by such dates in a serviceable condition, in order to allow performance of any assembly, installation, test or acceptance process in accordance with the Seller’s industrial schedule. In order to facilitate the follow-up of the timely receipt of BFE, the Buyer will, upon the Seller’s request, provide to the Seller dates and references of all BFE purchase orders placed by the Buyer.

The Buyer will also provide, when requested by the Seller, at AIRBUS OPERATIONS S.A.S. works in TOULOUSE (FRANCE) and/or at AIRBUS OPERATIONS GmbH works in HAMBURG (GERMANY) adequate field service including support from BFE Suppliers to act in a technical advisory capacity to the Seller in the installation, calibration and possible repair of any BFE.

 

18.1.3                                                        Without prejudice to the Buyer’s obligations hereunder, in order to facilitate the development of the BFE Engineering Definition, the Seller will organize meetings between the Buyer and BFE Suppliers. The Buyer hereby agrees to participate in such meetings and to provide adequate technical and engineering expertise to reach decisions within the defined timeframe.

 

In addition, throughout the development phase and up to Delivery of the Aircraft to the Buyer, the Buyer agrees:

 

§    to monitor the BFE Suppliers and ensure that they will enable the Buyer to fulfil its obligations, including but not limited to those set forth in the Customization Milestone Chart;

 

§    that, should a timeframe, quality or other type of risk be identified at a given BFE Supplier, the Buyer will allocate resources to such BFE Supplier so as not to jeopardize the industrial schedule of the Aircraft;

 

§    for major BFE, including, but not being limited to, seats, galleys and IFE (“Major BFE”) to participate on a mandatory basis in the specific meetings that take place between BFE Supplier selection and BFE delivery, namely:

 

o                                        Preliminary Design Review (“PDR”),

 

o                                        Critical Design Review (“CDR”);

 

§    to attend the First Article Inspection (“FAI”) for the first shipset of all Major BFE. Should the Buyer not attend such FAI, the Buyer will delegate the FAI to the BFE Supplier and confirmation thereof will be supplied to the Seller in writing;

 

§    to attend the Source Inspection (“SI”) that takes place at the BFE Supplier’s premises prior to shipping, for each shipset of all Major BFE. Should the Buyer not attend such SI, the Buyer will delegate the SI to the BFE Supplier and confirmation thereof will be brought to the Seller in writing. Should the Buyer not attend the SI, the Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the conclusions of the BFE Supplier with respect to such SI.

 

The Seller will be entitled to attend the PDR, the CDR and the FAI. In doing so, the Seller’s employees will be acting in an advisory capacity only and at no time will they be deemed to be acting as Buyer’s employees or agents, either directly or indirectly.

 

18.1.4                                                        The BFE will be imported into FRANCE or into GERMANY by the Buyer under a suspensive customs system (“Régime de l’entrepôt douanier ou régime de perfectionnement actif “ or “Zollverschluss”) without application of any French or German tax or customs duty, and will be Delivered At Place (DAP) according to the Incoterms, to the following shipping addresses:

(ii)                     the United States Department of Labor discontinues, either temporarily or permanently, such Labor Index or such Material Index, or

 

(iii)                  the data samples used to calculate such Labor Index or such Material Index are substantially changed;

 

the Seller will select a substitute index for inclusion in the Airbus Price Revision Formula (the “Substitute Index”).

 

The Substitute Index will reflect as closely as possible the actual variance of the Labor Costs or of the material costs used in the calculation of the original Labor Index or Material Index as the case may be.

 

As a result of the selection of the Substitute Index, the Seller will make an appropriate adjustment to the Airbus Price Revision Formula to combine the successive utilization of the original Labor Index or Material Index (as the case may be) and of the Substitute Index.

 

5.3                                                        Final Index Values

 

The Index values as defined in Clause 4 above will be considered final and no further adjustment to the base prices as revised at Delivery of the Aircraft will be made after Aircraft Delivery for any subsequent changes in the published Index values.

 

5.4                                                        Limitation

LETTER AGREEMENT N° 8

 

APPENDIX A

 

 

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Appendix shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement or as defined in the Sector Understanding on Export Credit for Civil Aircraft as entered into force on February 1, 2011 as may be further amended from time to time by the OECD.

 

Unless  otherwise  stated  or  decided  by  the  Export  Credit  Agencies  in  their  sole discretion, the following general terms and conditions shall apply to the Facility:

 

 

 

1          Purpose and Amount

 

The amount of the Facility shall be up to a maximum of eighty-five percent (85%) if the Buyer is in risk category 2 or below, up to a maximum of eighty percent (80%) if the Buyer is in risk category 1, or such lesser percentage as may be selected by the Buyer or imposed by the Export Credit Agencies, in each case of the Net Aircraft Price of the Relevant Aircraft.

 

The list of these risk categories is defined by experts nominated by the members of the OECD. Such list is confidential to the OECD members and is updated on an on-going basis. The risk classifications reflect the senior unsecured credit rating of the Buyer (see Table 1 in appendix).

 

The Net Aircraft Price shall be equal to the Final Price (as defined in the Agreement) of the Relevant Aircraft including the engines/propulsion systems (the “Engines”) installed on such Relevant Aircraft after taking into account all price discounts and other cash credits, less all other credits or concessions of any kind of the Seller and/or the selected engine/propulsion system manufacturer (the “Engine Manufacturer”) related or fairly allocable thereto.

 

Subject to the Export Credit Agencies’ prior approval, the Net Aircraft Price may include Buyer Furnished Equipment installed on the Relevant Aircraft in an amount agreed by the Export Credit Agencies.

 

As requested by the Export Credit Agencies, the Buyer shall provide the Seller with a declaration signed by the selected Engine Manufacturer, indicating the total amount of the credit memoranda made available to the Buyer with respect to the Engines installed on the relevant Aircraft.

 

 

 

 

2          Participation and Currencies

 

The level of participation in the Facility from the British, French and German Export Credit Agency shall depend on the aircraft type and the Engine selected by the Buyer.

 

The Buyer may select from the following eligible currencies the currency in which he wishes to denominate the Facility.

 

The currencies that are eligible for such Facility are Euros (“EUR”), Japanese Yen (“JPY”), UK Sterling Pounds (“GBP”), US Dollars (“USD”) and other fully convertible currencies for which there are market references.

LETTER AGREEMENT N° 8

 

 

3          Drawdowns and Payment to the Seller

 

The Facility relating to the Relevant Aircraft shall be drawn down upon delivery of such Relevant Aircraft and shall be disbursed directly to the Seller upon satisfactory presentation, inter alia, of the following documents:

 

(i)         an aircraft invoice issued by the Seller and

(ii)        the Certificate of Acceptance

 

in each case in respect of the Relevant Aircraft duly signed by a representative of the Buyer

 

Notwithstanding any decision by the Buyer to select a currency or currencies other than USD, the Seller shall receive the Final Price in USD at delivery of the Relevant Aircraft.

 

 

 

4          Term and Repayment of the Facility

 

The term of the Facility (the “Term”) shall not exceed twelve (12) years.

Unless otherwise decided by the Export Credit Agencies in their sole discretion, the British, French and German portions shall be repayable in a series of annuity style equal payments of rent in the case of a Lease Facility (as defined below) to amortise the Facility in respect of the Relevant Aircraft to zero over the Term.

 

There shall be no extension of the repayment Term by way of sharing of rights in the security on a pari passu basis with commercial lenders for the officially supported export credit.

 

The period between each payment shall be no greater than three (3) months and the first payment shall become payable no later than three (3) months after delivery of the Relevant Aircraft.

 

 

 

5          Interest

 

Interest on the Facility shall be payable in arrears on the unpaid balance of  principal, on the same date as and together with the instalments of principal except when lease payments in advance are requested as a Risk Mitigant (as defined below) and in the currency(ies) in which the Facility is denominated.

 

The rate of interest shall be negotiated directly with the Banks and shall be either a floating rate or a fixed rate. Subject to the Export Credit Agencies’ prior approval, the Facility may also include an option to switch from a floating rate to a fixed rate on terms and conditions to be defined.

 

 

 

6          Expenses and Taxes

 

The Buyer shall be responsible for all legal expenses, professional fees as well as taxes and other costs arising out of or in connection with the application for, the provision and administration of the Facility, including the Export Credit Agencies’ travel expenses related to the Buyer’s presentation and/or to the negotiation of the Facility, whether or not the Facility is

actually used. All corporate and governmental approvals necessary for the performance of the Buyer’s obligations under the Facility shall be obtained by the Buyer so that the payment of all amounts due to the Banks shall be satisfied without delay, such payments to be without deduction on account of any existing or future withholding taxes, charges, levies or other duties whatsoever. If however any such deduction has to be made, the Buyer shall compensate the Banks for such deduction and shall obtain all necessary approvals for this purpose so that the Banks receive the same net amount as they would have received had no such deduction been made.

 

 

 

7          Security and Form of the Facility

 

As security for the repayment of the Facility, the Buyer shall provide a full security package satisfactory to the Export Credit Agencies and the Banks.

 

The standard form of the Facility shall be a finance lease (the “Lease Facility”). Under the Lease Facility, the Banks shall create a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) which (i) shall receive title to the Relevant Aircraft pursuant to an assignment to the SPV of the relevant rights and obligations of the Buyer under the Agreement, and (ii) shall lease such Relevant Aircraft to the Buyer for the Term of the Facility.

 

Upon expiry of the Lease Facility and provided that no event of default has occurred or is continuing and provided no cross default and no cross collateralization have been called by the ECAs, the Buyer shall be entitled to purchase the Relevant Aircraft for the greater of the amount of 1$ and the outstanding amount due under the Lease Facility. Upon the exercise by the Buyer of the purchase option and payment of all amounts due under the Lease Facility, title to the Relevant Aircraft shall be transferred from the SPV to the Buyer simultaneously.

 

 

 

 

8          Premium

 

The premium to be paid up-front by the Buyer to the Export Credit Agencies in respect of the Facility shall be decided by the Export Credit Agencies. It shall be no less than the Minimum Premium Rates, or if the operator of the aircraft object (and, if different, the borrower/buyer or lessor if, in view of the government providing the official support, the structure of the transaction so warrants) is based in a State where the Cape Town Convention applies, the Minimum Premium Rates with a reduction of 10% [Table 1 sets out the current Minimum Premium Rates with and without the Cape Town discount.]

 

The Minimum Premium Rate incorporates (i) a Risk Based Rate which is reset every year to reflect Moody’s annual Loss Given Default over a four-year period, and (ii) a Market Reflective Surcharge which is adjusted every quarter.

 

The calculation of the Risk Based Rate depends on the risk classification of the Buyer. The premium payable is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the Facility granted by the Export Credit Agencies.

The Buyer may benefit from a 10% Premium reduction if the Buyer and the operator of the aircraft the subject of the ECA application is based in a jurisdiction that has ratified the Cape Town Convention with the qualifying declarations as defined by the OECD and has incorporated the Treaty in its set of domestic laws.
