Lenders are entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, then such Facility B Lender shall promptly turn over such payment to
the Administrative Agent (in the form received with any necessary endorsements)
for distribution to the Facility A Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof
and of the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement (and pending such turnover, such
Facility B Lender shall be deemed to hold such payment or recovery in trust for
the Administrative Agent and the Facility A Lenders).  Without limiting the foregoing sentence, if
any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary,
involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, on account of (a) principal

or (b) its participation in any Letter of Credit) in excess of its applicable
Pro Rata Share of those payments and other recoveries obtained by all other
applicable Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the respective
Loans (or such participation) then held by them, then such Lender shall
purchase from the other applicable Lenders such participations in the
respective affected Loans (or sub-participations in Letters of Credit) held by
them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or
any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery. 
Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to require the Facility A
Lenders to purchase a participation in any Facility B Obligation or the
interest, principal, fees or expenses owing to any Facility B Lender.”

3.8                                 Section
15.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
to read as follows:

 

“15.1                     Waiver;
Amendments.  Except as set forth in clauses
(a) through (i) below, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or
consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan

to the terms hereof or thereof, in each case, without the consent of any of the
Facility B Lenders), or 15.6 (solely as it relates to assignment of

consent of the Required Facility B Lenders shall not be required in connection
with waivers or consents to departures from the terms of Sections 10.1  (other

to the extension of time for the delivery of the applicable financial
statements, certificates and reports covered thereby, in each case, for a
period not in excess of 30 days past the date upon which the failure to deliver

constitute an Event of Default, Sections 10.1.1, 10.1.2, and 10.1.3),
10.2 and (solely to the extent such waiver or consent relates
specifically to the Facility A Obligations) 13.1.1, (iii) release or

5

to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents affecting

14 hereof) or the Issuing Bank, in each case, in such Person’s capacity as
such, shall be effective without the consent of the Administrative Agent and/or
the Issuing Bank, as applicable.

 

(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, for purposes
of voting or consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the other

be $0 until such Defaulting Lender makes the payments required in this
Agreement.

 

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
terms and provisions of Section 15.6.1(a) relating to the terms of any
assignment may be waived, amended or modified by the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, the Loan Party Representative and the effected assigning Lender,
in each case, without the consent of or notice to the other Lenders, and

deemed compliance with the provisions of Section 15.6.1(a) for purposes
of the remaining provisions of Section 15.6.1.

 

(j) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with
respect to, and in the event of, any amendment, waiver or modification of or to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document which would otherwise be approved
hereunder but for the refusal of one or more requisite Facility B Lender to

refusal shall give rise to the following rights with respect to each such
Rejecting Facility B Lender (and each such Rejecting Facility B Lender hereby
agrees to cooperate with and to execute and deliver, at the Borrowers’ expense,
any reasonably necessary instruments, agreements and documents and take any and
all such actions as may be reasonably required in connection with the
enforcement of any such rights), (i) each Facility A Lender shall have the
right to purchase, for cash at the closing of such purchase, its ratable share
(as among all Facility A Lenders willing to make such purchase) of all (but not
less than all) of any such Rejecting Facility B Lender’s outstanding Term Loan
B and related Obligations owing to it hereunder in the manner set forth in Section 8.7(b)
and (ii) if no Facility A Lender elects to exercise the purchase option
described in the immediately preceding clause (i), then the Loan Party
Representative and/or the Administrative Agent shall have the right to
designate an alternative Lender (which shall meet the requirements of an
Eligible Assignee) acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank
(such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Loan Party
Representative, to serve as a Replacement Lender to purchase all (but not less
than all), for cash at the closing of such purchase, of the Loans and all such
related Obligations of such Rejecting Facility B Lender in the manner set forth
in Section 8.7(b): it being
agreed in either of the cases of clauses (i) and (ii) above,

 

6

 

that no prepayment fee under Section
6.2.1(b) shall be due or payable in connection with any such purchase of
any Facility B Lender’s Facility B Obligations as set forth above.

ARTICLE 4.           Taxes.

 

4.1                       Taxes.  Except as provided in Section 4.4 Buyer
will pay all taxes imposed lawfully by any domestic or foreign taxing authority
arising out of or in connection with the performance of this Purchase
Agreement; provided, however, Buyer shall not be responsible for any Taxes
which are incurred as a result of Boeing’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  In this agreement “taxes”
are defined as all taxes, fees, charges or duties and any interest, penalties,
fines, or other additions to tax, including, but not limited to, sales, use,
value added (which are in the nature of a sales tax), gross receipts, stamp,
excise, transfer and similar taxes.

 

4.2                       Taxes Relating to Buyer
Furnished Equipment.  Buyer is
responsible for the proper filing of all applicable tax returns, reports and
declarations and payment of all taxes related to or imposed on Buyer Furnished
Equipment.

 

4.3                       Reimbursement of Boeing.  Buyer will promptly reimburse Boeing on
demand, net of additional taxes thereon, for any Taxes for which Buyer is
responsible pursuant to this Article 4 and that are imposed on and paid by
Boeing or which Boeing is responsible for collecting.

 

4.4                       Exclusions.  Excluded from the coverage of this Article 4
are any and all foreign, federal, state or local taxes on or based on or
measured by Boeing’s net or gross income (other than sales taxes imposed on the
receipts from this transaction), or any franchise, capital stock, net or gross
receipts (other than sales taxes imposed on the receipts of this transaction)
or other “doing business” taxes, which may be imposed by any taxing
jurisdiction (including but not limited to Washington State business and
occupation taxes except those relating to Buyer Furnished Equipment) and any
taxes imposed prior to and unrelated to delivery of the Aircraft, and Buyer
shall not be liable for any such taxes.

 

4.5                       Tax Minimization.  Boeing and Buyer agree to cooperate in
closing the sale of any aircraft or other thing furnished under this Purchase
Agreement in a jurisdiction that will render the purchase and sale transaction
free of all Taxes whatsoever to the Buyer or additional taxes to Boeing.  Therefore, closing with funds and documents
held in escrow may be a requirement of the Buyer until the property is
positioned, at Buyer’s expense, in a tax exempt location.  Boeing and Buyer further agree that each
shall provide to the other such documents and certificates as they may
reasonably request in connection with any claims for exemption from the payment
of Taxes.

 

4.6                       Contests.  If a claim is made against Boeing for any
Taxes for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to this Article 4, Boeing
shall promptly notify Buyer in writing at the following address:

withold payment during pendancy of such contest.  If Buyer is not permitted by law to contest
such tax in its own name, upon Buyer’s request, Boeing shall in good faith and
using best efforts, at Buyer’s expense, contest the imposition, validity,
applicability, or amount of such tax. 
Boeing shall in good faith and using best efforts:  (a) supply Buyer with such information
and documents reasonably requested by Buyer as are necessary or advisable for
Buyer to:  (i) recover or seek
refund of any sales or use tax paid by Buyer as a result of this Purchase
Agreement, or (ii) control or participate in any proceeding to the extent
permitted herein, and (b) reasonably assist Buyer with evidentiary and
procedural development of any such proceeding or contest.

5.2                                 Payment at Delivery.  The Aircraft Price, less Advance Payments
received by Boeing, is due on delivery of such Aircraft to Buyer.

 

5.3                                 Form of
Payments.  All payments due hereunder
will be made by unconditional deposit in a bank account in the United States
designated by the party to whom payment is to be made or in other immediately
available funds.  All prices and payments
set forth in this Purchase Agreement are in United States Dollars.

 

5.4                                 Monetary and
Government Regulations.  As may be
required, Buyer will be responsible for complying with all monetary control
regulations and for obtaining necessary governmental authorizations related to
payments hereunder.

 

ARTICLE 6.           Excusable
Delay.

 

6.1                                 General.  Boeing will not be liable for or be deemed to
be in default under this Purchase Agreement on account of any delay in delivery
of any Aircraft or other performance hereunder due to any of the following
causes:  acts of God; war, armed
hostilities, riots, fires, floods, earthquakes or serious accidents;
governmental acts or failures to act affecting materials, facilities or
Aircraft; strikes or labor troubles causing cessation, slowdown or interruption
of work; failure of or delay in transportation; or inability, after due and
timely diligence, to procure materials, systems, accessories, equipment or
parts; or inability, after due and timely diligence, to obtain type
certification; or arising out of any other cause to the extent it is beyond
Boeing’s control and not occasioned by Boeing’s fault or negligence.  A delay resulting from such causes is
referred to as an “Excusable Delay”.

 

6.2                                 Excusable Delay of
12 Months.

 

6.2.1                        Anticipated Delay.  If Boeing concludes, based on its appraisal
of the facts and normal scheduling procedures, that due to an Excusable Delay,
delivery of an Aircraft will be delayed more than 12 months beyond the month in
which delivery is scheduled, Boeing will promptly so notify Buyer in writing
and either party may then terminate this Purchase Agreement with respect to
such Aircraft by giving written notice to the other within 30 days after
receipt by Buyer of Boeing’s notice.  Failure
of a party to terminate the purchase of an

  PROPRIETARY

  

 

 

Aircraft for an Excusable Delay pursuant to this paragraph results in a
waiver of that party’s right to terminate the purchase of such Aircraft for any
delay in delivery caused by such Excusable Delay.

 

6.2.2                        Actual Delay.  If, due to an Excusable Delay, delivery of an
Aircraft is delayed for more than 12 months beyond the month in which delivery
is scheduled, and such right to terminate has not been waived under
paragraph 6.2.1, either party may terminate this Purchase Agreement with
respect to such Aircraft by giving written notice to the other within 15 days
after the expiration of such 12-month period.

 

6.3                                 Aircraft Damaged
Beyond Repair.  If, prior to
delivery, an Aircraft is destroyed or damaged beyond economic repair due to any
cause, Boeing will notify Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days of the
occurrence of such destruction or damage (Damage Notice).  Such notice will specify the earliest date
reasonably possible, consistent with Boeing’s other contractual commitments and
production capabilities, by which Boeing will deliver a replacement for such
Aircraft.  Buyer shall have thirty (30)
days from its receipt of the Damage Notice to notify Boeing that Buyer desires
Boeing to manufacture and delivery to Buyer a replacement for such Aircraft.  If Buyer does not give timely notice to
Boeing, Boeing may terminate this Purchase Agreement with respect to the
Aircraft.  If Buyer gives timely notice
to Boeing, Boeing will manufacture and deliver to Buyer at the earliest date
reasonably possible, consistent with Boeing’s other contractual commitments and
production capabilities, an aircraft to replace the Aircraft lost, destroyed,
or damaged beyond repair, and the parties will execute an amendment to this
Purchase Agreement to evidence the delivery date for such replacement aircraft;
provided, however, that Boeing shall not be obligated to manufacture and
deliver such replacement aircraft if it would require re-activation of a
production line to do so.  The terms and
conditions of this Purchase Agreement applicable to the Aircraft lost,
destroyed or damaged beyond economic repair shall apply to the replacement
aircraft.

 

6.4                                 Purchase Agreement
Termination.

 

6.4.1                        Termination under this Article will
discharge all obligations and liabilities of Boeing and Buyer hereunder with
respect to terminated Aircraft and all related undelivered items and services,
except that Boeing will return to Buyer, without interest, all advance payments
related to such Aircraft.

 

6.4.2                        If either party terminates this
Purchase Agreement as to any Aircraft pursuant to this Article, Boeing may,
upon written notice to Buyer within 30 days after such termination, purchase
from Buyer any Buyer Furnished Equipment related to such Aircraft, at the
invoice prices paid, or contracted to be paid, by Buyer, plus reasonable taxes
and transportation charges paid, or contracted to be paid by Buyer.

 

6.5                                 Effect on
Escalation.  Notwithstanding the
occurrence of an Excusable Delay, the Aircraft Price will not be adjusted
pursuant to paragraph 3.3.2 for any period beyond the original scheduled
delivery month of the related Aircraft.

6.6              Exclusive Rights.  The termination rights set forth in this Article are
in substitution for any and all other rights of termination or contract lapse
or any other claim arising by operation of law by virtue of an Excusable Delay.

 

ARTICLE 7.           Changes
to the Detail Specification.

 

7.1                                 Development Changes.  Boeing may, at its own expense and without
Buyer’s consent, incorporate Development Changes in the Detail Specification
and the Aircraft prior to delivery to Buyer. 
Development Changes are defined as changes to the Aircraft necessary to
correct defects, improve the Aircraft, prevent delay, or ensure compliance with
this Purchase Agreement that do not affect the Aircraft Price or scheduled
delivery month, and do not adversely affect guaranteed weight, guaranteed
performance or compliance with the interchangeability or replaceability
requirements set forth in the Detail Specification.  If Boeing makes changes pursuant to this
paragraph, Boeing will promptly notify Buyer of such changes.

 

7.2                                 Change Orders.  The Detail Specification and associated
provisions of this Purchase Agreement may be amended by change order or other
written agreement, which will state the particular changes to be made and any
effect on design, performance, weight, balance, time of delivery, Aircraft
Basic Price and Advance Payment Base Price.

 

ARTICLE 8.           Federal
Aviation Requirements and Certificates.

 

8.1                                 FAA Certificates.

 

8.1.1                        Boeing will obtain from the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA):

 

8.1.1.1               a Type Certificate
(transport category) issued pursuant to Part 21 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations for the type of aircraft covered by this Purchase Agreement, and

 

8.1.1.2               a Standard
Airworthiness Certificate for each Aircraft issued pursuant to Part 21 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations, which will be provided to Buyer with delivery
of the Aircraft.

 

8.1.2                        Boeing will not be obligated to
obtain any other certificates or approvals for the Aircraft.

 

8.1.3                        If the use of either FAA
certificate is discontinued prior to delivery of an Aircraft, references in
this Purchase Agreement to such discontinued certificate will be deemed
references to its superseding FAA certificate. 
If the FAA does not issue a superseding certificate, Boeing’s only
obligation under this paragraph will be to comply with the Detail Specification
and the performance guarantees applicable to the Aircraft.

8.2                                 FAA Manufacturer
Changes.

 

8.2.1                        If the FAA, or any other
governmental agency having jurisdiction, requires any change to the Aircraft,
data relating to the Aircraft, or testing of the Aircraft in order to obtain
the Standard Airworthiness Certificate (Manufacturer Change), such Manufacturer
Change will be made prior to delivery of such Aircraft.

 

8.2.2                        Boeing will bear the cost of
incorporating all Manufacturer Changes into the Aircraft resulting from
requirements issued by the FAA prior to the date of the type certificate for
the 787 model aircraft.

 

8.3                                 FAA Operator
Changes.

 

8.3.1                        Boeing will deliver each
Aircraft with the changes in equipment incorporated (or, at Boeing’s sole
discretion, with suitable provisions for the incorporation of such equipment)
that is required by Federal Aviation Regulations which (i) are generally
applicable with respect to transport category aircraft to be used in United
States certified air carriage and (ii) have to be complied with on or
before the date of delivery of such Aircraft (Operator Changes).

 

8.3.2                        If Operator Changes are
incorporated in an Aircraft, Buyer will pay Boeing’s charges applicable to such
Aircraft.

 

8.4                                 Delays; Changes to
this Purchase Agreement.  If delivery
of an Aircraft is delayed due to the incorporation of a Manufacturer Change or
an Operator Change, such delay shall be an Excusable Delay.  This Purchase Agreement will also be revised
to reflect appropriate changes in the Aircraft Price, design, performance,
weight and balance due to the incorporation of a Manufacturer Change or an
Operator Change.

 

ARTICLE 9.           Representatives,
Inspection, Flights, and Test Data.

 

9.1                                 Inspection by Buyer.  Eight (8) months prior to implementation
of Customer’s first Aircraft, Boeing will provide Customer an alternative
Boeing document defining a customer inspection process appropriate to the 787
manufacturing process (787 Inspection Process). 
The 787 Inspection Process will supersede Boeing Process Instruction
2490, dated October 28, 2003, “Customer Review Process,” utilized on Buyer’s
previous purchased aircraft.

 

9.2                                 Aircraft Flight.  Prior to delivery, each Aircraft will be
flown by Boeing for such periods as may be required to demonstrate to Buyer the
function of the Aircraft and its equipment in accordance with Boeing’s production
flight test procedures.  The aggregate
duration of such flights will be not less than one and one-half (1-1/2) hours
or more than four (4) hours.  Five (5) persons
designated by Buyer may participate in such flights as observers.

9.3                                 Test Data.  Boeing will furnish to Buyer, as soon as
practicable, flight test data obtained on an aircraft of the type purchased
hereunder, certified as correct by Boeing, to evidence compliance with any
performance guarantees set forth in this Purchase Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided in this Purchase
Agreement, any performance guarantee will be deemed to be met if reasonable
engineering interpretations and calculations based on such flight test data
establish that the Aircraft would, if actually flown, comply with such
guarantee.

 

9.4                                 Special Aircraft
Test Requirements.  Boeing may use
the Aircraft for flight and ground tests prior to delivery to Buyer, without
reduction in the Aircraft Price, if such tests are deemed necessary by Boeing
to:

 

9.4.1                        obtain or maintain the Type
Certificate or Standard Airworthiness Certificate for the Aircraft; or

 

9.4.2                        evaluate
aircraft improvement changes that may be offered for production or retrofit
incorporation in any aircraft.  All such
flight or ground testing shall not exceed in the aggregate either twenty (20)
flight hours or ten (10) flight cycles per any single Aircraft without
Buyer’s prior agreement.  Aircraft used
for such flight or ground testing will have the same warranty terms and
conditions at the time of delivery as Aircraft not utilized for flight or
ground testing, and each such Aircraft shall be deemed not to have incurred any
such testing flight hours or flight cycles for purposes of such terms and
conditions.

 

9.5                                 Indemnity.  Boeing will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer
and Buyer’s observers from and against all claims and liabilities, including
costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incident thereto or incident to
successfully establishing the right to indemnification, for injury to or death
of any person or persons, including employees of Boeing but excluding
employees, officers or agents of Buyer, or for loss of or damage to any
property, arising out of or in connection with the operation of the Aircraft
during all demonstration and test flights conducted under the provisions of
this Article, whether or not arising in tort or occasioned in whole or in part
by the negligence of Buyer or any of Buyer’s observers, whether active, passive
or imputed.

 

ARTICLE 10.         Assignment,
Resale or Lease.

 

10.1                           Assignment.  This Purchase Agreement will inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.  Neither the
rights nor the duties of either party under this Purchase Agreement may be
assigned or delegated, or contracted to be assigned or delegated, in whole or
part, without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:

 

10.1.1                  Provided that all EULA Software is
transferred, either party may assign its interest to a corporation that (i) results
from any merger, reorganization, or acquisition of such party or (ii) acquires
substantially all the assets of such party;

receive money; and

 

10.1.3                  Boeing may assign all or any part of
its rights and obligations under this Purchase Agreement to any wholly owned
subsidiary of Boeing, provided that Boeing will remain fully and solely
responsible to Buyer for all obligations and liabilities as the seller of the
Aircraft, and Buyer will continue to deal exclusively with Boeing.

 

10.2                           Transfer by Buyer at
Delivery.  Buyer may, and at Buyer’s
request Boeing will, take any action reasonably required for the purpose of
causing an Aircraft, at time of delivery, to be subjected to an equipment
trust, conditional sale, lien or other arrangement for the financing by Buyer
of such Aircraft.  No action taken by
either party pursuant to this paragraph, however, will require Boeing to divest
itself of title to or possession of such Aircraft until delivery and payment
therefor pursuant to this Purchase Agreement.

 

10.3                           Sale or Lease by Buyer
After Delivery.  If, following
delivery of any Aircraft, Buyer sells or leases such Aircraft (including any
sale and lease-back for financing purposes), then, at Buyer’s election, all of
Buyer’s rights with respect to such Aircraft under this Purchase Agreement will
inure to the benefit of the purchaser or lessee effective upon Boeing’s receipt
of such purchaser’s or lessee’s express written agreement, in form satisfactory
to Boeing, to be bound by and to comply with all applicable terms, conditions
and limitations of this Purchase Agreement, as applicable to such Aircraft.

 

10.4                           No Increase in Boeing
Liability.  No action taken by Buyer
or Boeing relating to the assignment, resale or lease of any Aircraft or this
Purchase Agreement will subject Boeing to any liability beyond that in this
Purchase Agreement or modify in any way Boeing’s obligations under this
Purchase Agreement.

 

10.5                           Exculpatory or Indemnity
Clause in Post-Delivery Sale or Lease. 
If, following delivery of an Aircraft, Buyer sells or leases such Aircraft
and obtains from the transferee an exculpatory or indemnity clause protecting
Buyer, Buyer will make reasonable efforts to request the same protection for
Boeing.

 

ARTICLE 11.         Termination
for Certain Events.

 

11.1                           Termination.  This Purchase Agreement may be terminated at
any time with regard to undelivered Aircraft and items and unperformed services
by notice in writing by either party hereto if the other party:

 

11.1.1                  Ceases doing business as a going
concern, suspends all or substantially all its business operations (other than
in connection with a strike or other labor action), makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, is insolvent, or generally does not pay its debts, or

of debt, dissolution or liquidation available for the relief of financially
distressed debtors; or becomes the object of any such proceeding, unless such
proceeding is dismissed or stayed within 60 days.

 

11.2                           Repayment of Advance
Payments.  If this Purchase Agreement
is terminated with regard to any Aircraft by Buyer under this Article, Boeing
will repay to Buyer, without interest, any advance payments received by Boeing
from Buyer with respect to such Aircraft.

PART A

 

BOEING WARRANTY

 

1.                                       Warranties.

 

Subject to the
exceptions set forth in paragraph 2, Boeing warrants that, at the time of
delivery, the Aircraft (including all systems, accessories, equipment, aircraft
software, i.e., Boeing-designed software, herein defined as “Aircraft Software”,
which is software installed on and used in the operation of the Aircraft, and
parts installed in the Aircraft) shall:

 

(a)                                  conform to the Detail Specification, as it may be
changed pursuant to this Agreement, except such portions of the Detail Specification
as are stated to be estimates, approximations, design objectives, design
criteria or otherwise described as not guaranteed,

 

(b)                                 be free from defects in material and workmanship,
including process of manufacture, and

 

(c)                                  be free from defects in design, including the
selection by Boeing of materials, including process of manufacture, in view of
the state-of-the-art at the time of design.

 

For purposes of
this warranty, it is understood that (i) non-conformance with the Detail
Specification, (ii) defects in material or workmanship and (iii) defects
in design, all as described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above,
are hereinafter collectively called “defects” or a “defect.”  Further, the terms system, accessory,
equipment, Aircraft Software or part may hereinafter collectively be called “item”
or “items.”

 

2.                                       Exceptions.

 

The warranty set
forth in paragraph 1(a) above shall not apply to Buyer Furnished
Equipment.  The warranties set forth in
paragraphs 1(b) and 1(c) shall not apply to Buyer Furnished Equipment,
nor to Engines (as defined in Exhibit D to this Agreement), nor to any
item purchased by Boeing that was not manufactured to Boeing’s detailed design,
except that any defect in the Boeing workmanship incorporated in the
installation of such items in the Aircraft, including any failure by Boeing to
conform to the installation instructions of the manufacturers of such items
that invalidates any applicable warranty from such manufacturers, shall
constitute a defect in workmanship for the purposes of this Part A and be
covered by the warranty set forth in paragraph 1(b) above.

3.                                       Survival of Warranties.

 

With respect to
each Aircraft (including all items - installed in the Aircraft), the warranties
applicable at the time of Aircraft delivery, as provided in paragraphs 1
and 2 above, shall survive delivery subject to the limitations and upon the
conditions set forth in paragraphs 4 through 10 of this Part A;
provided, however, the warranty set forth in paragraph 1(a) shall not
survive Aircraft delivery with respect to Engines, compliance with any
performance guarantees contained in Letter Agreement which shall be established
pursuant to Article 9 of the Purchase Agreement and any item purchased by
Boeing that was not manufactured to Boeing’s detailed design.

 

4.                                       Warranty and Notice Periods.

 

Buyer’s remedy
and Boeing’s obligation and liability under this Part A, with respect to
each defect, are conditioned upon (i) the defect having become apparent to
Buyer within the applicable warranty period, and (ii) Boeing’s Warranty
Regional Manager having received written notice of the defect from Buyer
within 3 months after the expiration of the applicable warranty
period.  The warranty periods applicable
to each Aircraft are:

 

(a)                                  as to a defect in conformance to the Detail
Specification, 48 months after delivery of such Aircraft, and

 

(b)                                 as to a defect in material, workmanship or design
in any item, 48 months after delivery of the Aircraft in which the
defective item was initially installed.

 

4.1  Notice – Receipt of Buyer’s notice of discovery of a
defect secures Buyer’s rights to remedies under the Product Assurance Document
whether or not Buyer has corrected the defect at the time of notice or Boeing
requests additional information regarding the defect or claim.

 

5.                                       Return and Proof.

 

Buyer’s remedy
and Boeing’s obligation and liability under this Part A, with respect to
each defect, are also conditioned upon:

 

(a)                                  the return by Buyer as soon as practicable to
Boeing’s facilities in the Seattle, Washington area, or such other place as may
be mutually agreeable, of the Aircraft or item claimed to be defective, except
when (i) Buyer elects to perform necessary repair or correction of the
defective

Aircraft or items in accordance with the
provisions of Part B (Warranty Repairs and Modifications by Buyer) of this
Product Assurance Document, or (ii) Buyer elects to scrap non-repairable
defective items at Buyer’s facility in accordance with paragraph 8 of this
Part A, and

 

(b)                                 the submission by Buyer to Boeing’s Warranty
Regional Manager of reasonable proof that the claimed defect is due to a matter
embraced within the warranty set forth in paragraph 1(a), 1(b) or 1(c) and
that such defect did not result from any act or omission of Buyer, including
but not limited to any failure to operate and maintain the Aircraft or item
involved in accordance with applicable governmental regulations and Boeing’s
applicable written instructions.

 

6.                                       Remedies.

 

Buyer’s remedy
and Boeing’s obligation and liability under this Part A, with respect to
each defect, are limited to the following:

 

(a)                                  As to a defect in conformance to the Detail
Specification,

 

(i)                                     to the correction of such defect in the item in
which the defect appears; provided, however, Boeing shall not be obligated or
liable hereunder to correct any defect that Boeing and Buyer mutually agree in
writing are a) acceptable deviations or b) which have no material adverse
effect on the maintenance, use or operation of the Aircraft, and

 

(ii)                                  as to any item corrected by Boeing pursuant to (i),
to the correction of any further defect in conformance to the Detail Specification
in such item provided such further defect becomes apparent to Buyer within any
unexpired remainder of the 48 month warranty period specified in
paragraph 4(a).

 

(b)                                 As to a defect in material or workmanship,

 

(i)                                     to the repair of such defect in the item in which
the defect appears, or, at Boeing’s option, to the replacement of such item
with a similar item free from defect, and

 

(ii)                                  as to any item repaired by Boeing or furnished as
a replacement by Boeing pursuant to (i), to the repair or replacement of such
item for any further defect in material or workmanship, provided such further
defect becomes apparent to Buyer within any unexpired remainder of the
48 month warranty period specified in paragraph 4(b) or 12
months, whichever is greater

 

(c)                                  As to a defect in design,

 

(i)                                     to the correction of such defect in the item in
which the defect appears, and

(i), to the correction of any further defect in design in such item, provided
such further defect becomes apparent to Buyer within any unexpired remainder of
the 48 month warranty period specified in paragraph 4(b) or
within 18 months after delivery of the corrected item or materials
required to correct such item, whichever period last expires.

 

(d)                                 To the removal from the Aircraft of a defective
item and the reinstallation in the Aircraft of the repaired or a replacement
item, provided that when Boeing reimburses Buyer for Buyer’s direct labor costs
incurred in performing such tasks (i) the man-hours used to determine such
costs shall not exceed Boeing’s reasonable estimate of the man-hours required
for the performance thereof by Buyer or such number of man-hours as may be mutually
agreed to by Boeing and Buyer, and (ii) the labor rate to be used in
determining such costs shall be the then current warranty reimbursement labor
rate as established between Boeing and Buyer pursuant to paragraph 4(c) of
Part B of this Product Assurance Document.

 

(e)                                  To reimbursement and payment as specified in
paragraphs 7(a) and 7(b) below.

 

7.                                       Returned Items.

 

The following
provisions shall apply with respect to each Aircraft or item returned to Boeing’s
facilities, or to such other place as may be mutually agreeable, pursuant to
paragraph 5 of this Part A:

 

(a)                                  As to the return of an Aircraft,

 

(i)                                     the decision as to whether or not an Aircraft is to
be returned to Boeing shall be established by agreement between Boeing and
Buyer using the following criteria:

 

(A)                              Substantially all of the repairs, corrections or
replacements to be performed by Boeing shall be covered by the warranty as
described in paragraphs 6(a), 6(b) or 6(c).

 

(B)                                Buyer does not have the capability to perform and
it is not feasible or practicable for Boeing personnel to perform or to assist
Buyer’s personnel in performing the warranty repairs, replacements or
corrections on the Aircraft at Buyer’s facilities or at such other place as may
be mutually agreeable.

 

(ii)                                  the following provisions shall apply for each
Aircraft returned:

 

(A)                              All warranty repairs, replacements and

reasonable care and dispatch in order that the Aircraft involved shall not be
kept out of service longer than necessary. 
In addition, Boeing shall reimburse Buyer the cost

of fuel, oil and landing fees incurred in
both ferrying the Aircraft to the location where the warranty work will be
performed and in ferrying such Aircraft back to Buyer’s facilities; provided,
however, that Buyer shall use its best reasonable efforts to commence and
terminate such ferry flights at a facility of Buyer located nearest to the
location where Boeing is to perform work on the Aircraft.

 

(B)                                Buyer shall pay Boeing for any non-warranty work
performed by Boeing on the Aircraft as may be mutually agreed to by the parties
and for work required to be performed by Boeing relating to the Aircraft other
than the repairs, corrections or replacements covered by the warranties
provided in paragraphs 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c).  The rates charged Buyer for such other work
shall not exceed the rates charged other commercial customers of Boeing during
substantially the same time period.

 

(iii)                               a separate agreement containing the above
provisions and other mutually agreeable terms and conditions shall be entered
into by the parties to cover the return of any Aircraft under the provisions of
this paragraph.

 

(b)                                 As to the return of items,

 

(i)                                     All repairs, replacements and corrections
described in paragraphs 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) shall be performed
by or for Boeing at Boeing’s expense, with reasonable care and dispatch in
order that the item involved will not be kept out of service longer than
necessary.

 

(ii)                                  Boeing’s turnaround time objectives with respect
to the repair, replacement or correction of items as described in
paragraphs 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) are (A) with respect to
avionic and electronic items, fourteen (14) calendar days or less, and (B) with
respect to all other items twenty-eight
(28) calendar days or less if
repaired, replaced or corrected at Boeing’s facilities or twenty-eight (28) calendar days or less if repaired, replaced or corrected at the
facilities of a Boeing subcontractor. 
Turnaround time shall be measured from the date Boeing is in receipt of
the returned item together with Buyer’s claim or return order describing the
work to be accomplished to the date of shipment by Boeing of a repaired,
corrected or replacement item.  In the
event the foregoing turnaround time objective is not achieved by Boeing for a
particular item and a critical parts shortage is experienced by Buyer as a
direct result therefrom, Boeing shall, when requested by Buyer, either,

 

(1)                                  use its diligent efforts to expedite completion
of the item to be repaired, corrected or replaced to meet Buyer’s required
completion date, or

 

(2)                                  provide, on a case by case basis, a similar item on a no-charge
loan or lease basis until such time as the item being repaired, replaced or
corrected is returned to Buyer.

The Boeing remedies described in (1) and
(2) above shall be conditioned upon Buyer’s procurement in a timely manner
of a reasonable number of spare parts, and Buyer’s maintenance and operation of
the item involved and the Aircraft in which such item was installed in
accordance with applicable governmental regulations and applicable Boeing service
bulletins, maintenance manuals, overhaul manuals and written instructions.  Such remedies shall not apply in any case
where the critical part shortage is attributable to Buyer’s fault or
responsibility.

 

(iii)                               The freight charge for shipment from Buyer to
Boeing, or to such other place as may be mutually agreeable, of any item
claimed to be defective shall be paid by Buyer; however, Boeing shall reimburse
Buyer for the freight charge for such shipment of any item determined to be
defective under the terms of this Part A upon Boeing’s receipt of the
invoice to Buyer for such charge.  The
freight charge for the return shipment to Buyer of any item which has been
repaired, replaced or corrected pursuant to this Part A shall be paid by
Boeing.

 

(c)                                  Title to and risk of loss of any Aircraft or item
returned by Buyer to Boeing shall at all times remain with Buyer, except title
to and risk of loss of a returned item shall pass to Boeing concurrently with
shipment by Boeing to Buyer of any item furnished by Boeing to Buyer as a
replacement therefor.  Upon Boeing’s
shipment to Buyer of any replacement item provided by Boeing pursuant to this Part A,
title to and risk of loss of such item shall pass to Buyer.  (Under this paragraph 7(c), the party
which has risk of loss with respect to any Aircraft or item shall have the
responsibility of providing any insurance coverage thereon desired by such
party.)

 

Boeing shall have only such responsibility
for any returned Aircraft, and for any returned item, so long as Buyer has
title thereto, as is chargeable by law to a bailee for mutual benefit, but
shall not be chargeable for loss of use.

 

8.                                       Non-Repairable Items.

 

Buyer may scrap
any defective non-repairable item at Buyer’s facility, provided that an
authorized Boeing Customer Support Representative has confirmed such item is
non-repairable.  Buyer’s claim for any
item to replace such scrapped item shall contain the stamp and signature of
Boeing’s Customer Support Representative. 
Such scrapped item shall be processed by Buyer in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph 6 of Part B of this Product Assurance
Document.

 

9.                                       Wear and Tear.

 

Normal wear and
tear and the need for regular maintenance and overhaul shall not constitute a
defect under the warranties set forth in this Part A.

Liabilities; Customer Support; Indemnification and Insurance”, of this Purchase
Agreement Number 2924, will apply to any work performed by Boeing in accordance
with Buyer’s specific technical instructions, to the extent any legal liability
of Boeing is based upon the content of such instructions.

WARRANTY REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS BY BUYER

 

1.                                       General.

 

To expedite the
return to service of defective Aircraft or items that Boeing is obligated to
repair or correct under Part A (Boeing Warranty) of this Product Assurance
Document, Boeing and Buyer agree that such repairs and corrections may, at

by Boeing, that such Failure was not the result of: i) a consequence of any
breakage of or defect in any other part or component of an Aircraft in which
the Covered Component was at any time installed, or ii) from any other
extrinsic force, or iii) any negligent or improper act or omission of Buyer,
including, but not limited to, any failure to operate and maintain such
Aircraft in accordance with applicable governmental regulations and Boeing’s
applicable service bulletins, service letters, maintenance manuals, component
maintenance manuals and written instructions, provided to Buyer by Boeing prior
to such alleged negligent or improper act or omission by Buyer.

warranty or representation as to the length of time an Aircraft or any Covered
Component will operate without a Failure, or as an agreement to modify the
Aircraft or any Covered Component to conform to new developments in the state
of design or manufacturing art.  Boeing’s
sole obligation hereunder is to furnish corrections or replacements for failed
components as provided in this Policy. 
Buyer’s sole remedy and relief for the nonperformance of any obligation
or liability of Boeing arising under or by virtue of this policy shall be in
monetary damages, limited to the amount Buyer reasonably expends in procuring a
correction or replacement for any covered component which is the subject of a
Failure covered by this policy and to which such nonperformance relates.  THE EXCLUSION OF LIABILITIES AND OTHER
PROVISIONS OF PART D OF THIS EXHIBIT B ARE APPLICABLE.

Subject to the
exceptions set forth in paragraph 2 below, Boeing shall indemnify and hold
harmless Buyer from and against all claims, suits, actions, liabilities,
damages and costs (excluding any incidental or consequential damages and
excluding any liabilities, costs, loss of revenue or loss of profit resulting

operate the Aircraft, provided that (i) from time of design of the
Aircraft or item and until infringement claims are resolved such other country
and the flag country of the Aircraft are legally bound by and do fully
recognize their obligations and duties under the Chicago Convention on
International Civil Aviation of December 7, 1944, and the flag country and
such other country are fully entitled to all benefits of Article 27
thereof or, in the alternative, (ii) from such time of design and until
such infringement claims are resolved such other country and the flag country
shall each have been a party to the International Convention for the Protection
of Industrial Property (Paris Convention).

 

2.                                       Exceptions.

 

This indemnity
shall not apply to Buyer Furnished Equipment, nor to Engines (as defined in Exhibit D

detailed design, nor to any item manufactured to Boeing’s detailed design
without Boeing’s authorization.

 

3.                                       Conditions and Limitations.

liability under this Part E are conditioned upon Buyer giving Boeing
written notice within 10 days after Buyer receives official notice of a
suit or action against Buyer alleging infringement or within 20 days after
Buyer receives a written claim of infringement. 
Boeing may, at its option, conduct negotiations with any party claiming
infringement and may intervene in any suit or action.  Whether or not

investigation of such problem and shall assist Buyer in the administration of
any claims Buyer may have under such Supplier Warranties.

 

3.                                       Boeing Support in Event of Supplier Default.

 

In the event
that:

 

(a)                                  any manufacturer, under any Supplier Warranty
obtained by Boeing pursuant to paragraph 1, defaults in the performance of
any material obligation contained in such Supplier Warranty, with respect to a
defect in material or workmanship or a defect in design in any Supplier Product
(and their replacements under the Product Assurance Agreement) - installed in

BOEING INTERFACE COMMITMENT

 

1.                                       Interface Problems.

 

If Buyer
experiences any technical problem in the operation of the Aircraft or its
systems due to malfunction or failure of an item the cause of which, after due
and reasonable investigation, is not readily identifiable by Buyer, but which
Buyer believes to be attributable to the design characteristics of one or more
items of the Aircraft (an “Interface Problem”), Boeing shall, if requested by
Buyer, and without additional charge to Buyer, promptly conduct an
investigation and analysis of such Interface Problem to determine, if possible,
the cause or causes of the Interface Problem and to recommend such corrective
action as may be feasible.  Buyer shall
furnish to Boeing all data and information in Buyer’s possession reasonably
relevant to the Interface Problem, and will reasonably cooperate with Boeing in
the conduct of its investigations and such tests as may be required.  Boeing shall promptly advise Buyer in writing
at the conclusion of its investigation of Boeing’s opinion as to the cause or
causes of the Interface Problem and Boeing’s recommendation as to corrective
action.

 

2.                                       Boeing Responsibility.

 

If Boeing
determines that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design
of any item - manufactured to Boeing’s detailed design, Boeing shall, if
requested by Buyer, correct the design of such item to the extent of any then
existing obligations of Boeing under Part A (Boeing Warranty) or Part C
(Boeing Service Life Policy) of this Product Assurance Document.

 

3.                                       Supplier Responsibility.

 

If Boeing
determines that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design
of an item -not manufactured to Boeing’s detailed design, Boeing shall, if
requested by Buyer, reasonably assist Buyer in processing any warranty claim
Buyer may have against the manufacturer of such item.  Boeing shall also take whatever reasonable
action is permitted by its contracts with such manufacturer in an effort to
obtain a correction of the Interface Problem acceptable to Buyer.  If the Supplier fails, within a reasonable
period of time, to take appropriate action on

Boeing’s recommendation as to the necessary
corrective action and Buyer submits to Boeing, within a reasonable time, proof
of such failure, then Boeing shall take action in
accordance with the provisions of Part F of this Product Assurance
Document.

 

4.                                       Joint Responsibility.

 

If Boeing
determines that the Interface Problem is partially attributable to the design
of an item - manufactured to Boeing’s detailed design and partially to the
design of items not manufactured to Boeing’s detailed design, Boeing shall, if
requested by Buyer, seek a solution to the Interface Problem through the
cooperative efforts of Boeing and the manufacturers of the other item
involved.  Boeing shall promptly advise
Buyer of such corrective actions as may be proposed by Boeing and such other
manufacturers; such proposal to be consistent with any then existing
obligations of Boeing and such other manufacturers.  If such proposal is acceptable to Buyer, the proposed
action shall be taken.

(a)                                  All requests under this Part H shall be
directed to Boeing’s Warranty Administrator at Renton, Washington.

 

(b)                                 All reports, recommendations, data and other
documents furnished by Boeing to Buyer pursuant to this Part H shall be
deemed to be things delivered under this Agreement.  THE EXCLUSION OF LIABILITIES AND OTHER
PROVISIONS OF PART D OF THIS EXHIBIT B ARE APPLICABLE.

 

(c)                                  At Boeing’s request, Buyer shall assign to
Boeing, and Boeing shall be subrogated to, any of Buyer’s rights against any manufacturer
as Boeing may reasonably require in the fulfillment of its obligations
hereunder.

6.4                                 Normal Line Maintenance is defined as line maintenance that Boeing
might reasonably be expected to furnish for flight crew training at Boeing’s facility,
and will include ground support and Aircraft storage in the open, but will not
include provision of spare parts.  Boeing
will provide Normal Line Maintenance services for any Aircraft while the
Aircraft is used for flight crew training at Boeing’s facility in accordance
with the Boeing Maintenance Plan (Boeing document D6-82076) and the Repair
Station Operation and Inspection Manual (Boeing document D6-25470).  Buyer will provide such services if flight
crew training is conducted elsewhere. 
Regardless of the location of such training, Buyer will be responsible
for providing all maintenance items (other than those included in Normal Line
Maintenance) required during the training, including, but not limited to, fuel,
oil, landing fees and spare parts.

 

6.5                                 If the training is based at Boeing’s facility
and the Aircraft is damaged due to Buyer’s personnel’s actions during such
training, Boeing will make all necessary repairs to the Aircraft as promptly as
possible.  Buyer will pay Boeing’s
reasonable charge, including the price of parts and materials, for making the
repairs.  If Boeing’s estimated labor
charge for the repair exceeds $25,000, Boeing and Buyer will enter into an
agreement for additional services before beginning the repair work.

 

6.6                                 If the flight training is based at Boeing’s
facility, several airports in the surrounding area may be used, at Boeing’s
option.  Unless otherwise agreed in the
flight training planning conference, it will be Buyer’s responsibility to make
arrangements for the use of such airports.

 

6.7                                 If Boeing agrees to make arrangements on
behalf of Buyer for the use of airports for flight training, Boeing will pay on
Buyer’s behalf any landing fees charged by any airport used in conjunction with
the flight training.  Before flight
training, Buyer will provide Boeing an open purchase order against which Boeing
will invoice Buyer for any landing fees Boeing paid on Buyer’s behalf.  The invoice will be submitted to Buyer
approximately 60 days after flight training is completed, when all landing fee
charges have been received and verified. 
Buyer will pay the invoiced amount to Boeing within 30 days of the date
of the invoice.

 

6.8                                 If requested by Boeing, in order to provide
the flight training or ferry flight assistance, Buyer will make available to
Boeing an Aircraft after delivery to familiarize Boeing instructor or ferry
flight crew personnel with such Aircraft. 
If flight of the Aircraft is required for any Boeing instructor or ferry
flight crew member to maintain an FAA license for flight proficiency or landing
currency, Boeing will be responsible for the costs of fuel, oil, landing fees
and spare parts attributable to that portion of the flight.

certificates state the terms, limits, provisions and coverages required by this
Article 1, were used ***  The failure of
Boeing to demand compliance with Article 1 in any year will not in any way relieve
Buyer of its obligations hereunder nor constitute a waiver by Boeing of these
obligations.

 

2.                                       Noncompliance with Insurance Requirements.  If
Buyer fails to comply with any of the insurance requirements of Article 1 or if
any of the insurers fails to pay a claim covered by the insurance or otherwise
fails to meet any of insurer’s obligations required by Appendix I, Buyer will
provide the same protection to Boeing as that required by Article 1 above.

 

3.                                       Definition of Boeing.  For
purposes of this Article, “Boeing” is defined as The Boeing Company, its
divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assignees of each, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, and agents.

1.                                       Formula.

 

Airframe Price and Optional
Features price adjustments (Airframe Price Adjustment) are used to allow prices
to be stated in current year dollars at the signing of this Purchase Agreement
and to adjust the amount to be paid by Customer at delivery for the effects of
economic fluctuation.  The Airframe Price
Adjustment will be determined at the time of Aircraft delivery in accordance
with the following formula:

 

	
   

  	
  Pa = (P+B)(L + M) - P

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
  Where:

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Pa =

  	
  Airframe Price Adjustment

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  L =

  	
  .65 x (ECI

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
           ECIb)

  	
  where ECIb is the base year index (as
  set forth in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement)

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  M =

  	
  .35 x (ICI

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
           ICIb)

  	
  where ICIb is the base year index (as
  set forth in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement)

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  P =

  	
  Airframe Price plus Optional Features Price (as
  set forth in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  B =

  	
  0.005 x (N/12) x (P)

  	
  where N is the calendar month and year of
  scheduled Aircraft delivery minus the calendar month and year of the Base
  Price Year, both as shown in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  ECI is a value determined using the U.S.
  Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics “Employment Cost Index for
  workers in aircraft manufacturing - Wages and Salaries” (ECI code 3721),
  calculated by establishing a three-month arithmetic average value
  (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values
  for the fifth, sixth and seventh months prior to the month of scheduled
  delivery of the applicable Aircraft. As the Employment Cost Index values are
  only released on a quarterly basis, the value released for the month of March

  will be used for the months of January and
  February; the value for June used for April and May; the value for September
  used for July and August; and the value for December used for October and
  November.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  ICI is a value determined using the U.S.
  Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics “Producer Prices and Price
  Index - Industrial Commodities Index “, calculated as a 3-month
  arithmetic average of the released monthly values (expressed as a decimal and
  rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the 5th, 6th and 7th
  months prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the applicable Aircraft.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  As an example, for an Aircraft scheduled to be
  delivered in the month of January, the months June, July and August of the
  preceding year will be utilized in determining the value of ECI and ICI.

  

 

Note:                   i.                                          In determining the values of L and M, all
calculations and resulting values will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the
nearest ten-thousandth.

 

ii.                                       .65 is the numeric ratio attributed to labor
in the Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

 

iii.                                    .35 is the numeric ratio attributed to materials
in the Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

 

iv.                                   The denominators (base year indices) are the
actual average values reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics.  The actual average values
are calculated as a 3-month arithmetic average of the released monthly
values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the
values for the 5th, 6th and 7th months prior to the airframe base year.  The applicable base year and corresponding
denominator is provided by Boeing in Table 1 of this Purchase Agreement.

 

iv.                                   The final value of Pa will be
rounded to the nearest dollar.

 

vi.                                    The Airframe Price Adjustment will not be
made if it will result in a decrease in the Aircraft Basic Price.

 

2.                                       Values to be Utilized in the Event of
Unavailability.

 

2.1                                 If the Bureau of Labor Statistics
substantially revises the methodology used for the determination of the values
to be used to determine the ECI and ICI values (in contrast to benchmark
adjustments or other corrections of previously released values), or for any
reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable Airframe
Price Adjustment, the parties will, prior to the delivery of any such

PROPRIETARY

 

 

Aircraft, select a substitute
from other Bureau of Labor Statistics data or similar data reported by
non-governmental organizations.  Such
substitute will result in the same adjustment, insofar as possible, as would have
been calculated utilizing the original values adjusted for fluctuation during
the applicable time period.

 

2.2                                 Notwithstanding Article 2.1 above, if prior
to the scheduled delivery month of an Aircraft the Bureau of Labor Statistics
changes the base year for determination of the ECI and ICI values as defined
above, such re-based values will be incorporated in the Airframe Price
Adjustment calculation.

 

2.3                                 In the event escalation provisions are made
non-enforceable or otherwise rendered void by any agency of the United
States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to
equitably adjust the Aircraft Price of any affected Aircraft to reflect an
allowance for increases or decreases in labor compensation and material costs
occurring since February of the price base year shown in the Purchase Agreement
which is consistent with the applicable provisions of paragraph 1 of this
Exhibit D.

 

Note:                   i.                                          The values released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and available to Boeing 30 days prior to the scheduled delivery
month of an Aircraft will be used to determine the ECI and ICI values for the
applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics) to calculate the Airframe Price Adjustment for the Aircraft invoice
at the time of delivery.  The values will
be considered final and no Airframe Price Adjustments will be made after
Aircraft delivery for any subsequent changes in published Index values.

 

ii.                                       The maximum number of digits to the right of
the decimal after rounding utilized in any part of the Airframe Price
Adjustment equation will be 4, where rounding of the fourth digit will be
increased to the next highest digit when the 5th digit is equal to 5 or
greater.

Unavailability.

 

2.1                                 If the Bureau of Labor Statistics
substantially revises the methodology used for the determination of the values
to be used to determine the ECI and ICI values (in contrast to benchmark
adjustments or other corrections of previously released values), or for any
reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable Engine Price
Adjustment, General Electric Aircraft agrees to meet jointly with Boeing and
the Buyer (to the extent such parties may lawfully do so) prior to the delivery
of any such Aircraft, to select a substitute from other Bureau of Labor
Statistics data or similar data reported by non-governmental
organizations.  Such substitute will
result in the same adjustment, insofar as possible, as would have been
calculated utilizing the original values adjusted for fluctuation during the
applicable time period.

 

2.2                                 Notwithstanding Article 2.1 above, if prior
to the scheduled delivery month of an Aircraft the Bureau of Labor Statistics
changes the base year for determination of the ECI and ICI values as defined
above, such re-based values will be incorporated in the Engine Price Adjustment
calculation.

 

2.3                                 In the event escalation provisions are made
non-enforceable or otherwise rendered void by any agency of the United
States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to
equitably adjust the Engine Price of any affected Aircraft to reflect an
allowance for increases or decreases consistent with the applicable provisions
of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D in labor compensation and material costs
occurring since August of the year prior to the price base year shown in the
Purchase Agreement.

 

Note:                   i.                                          The values released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and available to Boeing 30 days prior to the first day of the
scheduled delivery month of an Aircraft will be used to determine the ECI and
ICI values for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Engine Price Adjustment for
the Aircraft invoice at the time of delivery. 
The values will be considered final and no Engine Price Adjustments will
be made after Aircraft delivery for any subsequent changes in published Index
values.

 

ii.                                       The maximum number of digits to the right of
the decimal after rounding utilized in any part of the Engine Price Adjustment
equation will be 4, where rounding of the fourth digit will be increased to the
next highest digit when the 5th digit is equal to 5 or greater.

7.1                                 With
respect to Aircraft manufactured in the State of Washington, title to and risk
of loss of BFE provided for such Aircraft will at all times remain with Buyer
or other owner.  Boeing will have only
such liability for BFE as a bailee for mutual benefit would have, but will not
be liable for loss of use.

 

7.2                                 With
respect to Aircraft manufactured in the State of California, Buyer agrees to

delivery to Boeing.  A reasonable shipset
price for the BFE shall be established with Buyer.  Buyer and Boeing agree that the Aircraft Price
will be increased by the amount of said shipset price and such amount will be
included on Boeing’s invoice at time of Aircraft delivery.  Boeing’s payment for the purchase of each
shipset of BFE from Buyer will be made at the time of delivery of the Aircraft

To
properly maintain Boeing’s production flow and to preserve Boeing’s delivery
commitments, Boeing reserves the right, if necessary, due to equipment
shortages or failures, to interchange new items of BFE acquired from or for
Buyer with new items of the same part numbers acquired from or for other Buyers
of Boeing.  Used BFE acquired from Buyer
or from other Buyers of Boeing will not be interchanged.

 

9.                                       Indemnification of Boeing.

 

Buyer hereby indemnifies and
holds harmless Boeing from and against all claims and liabilities, including
costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incident thereto or incident to
successfully establishing the right to indemnification, for injury to or death
of any person or persons, including employees of Buyer but not employees of
Boeing, or for loss of or damage to any property, including any Aircraft,
arising out of or in any way connected with any nonconformance or defect in any
BFE and whether or not arising in tort or occasioned by the negligence of
Boeing.  This indemnity will not apply
with respect to any nonconformance or defect caused solely by Boeing’s
installation of the BFE.

 

10.                                 Patent Indemnity.

 

Buyer hereby indemnifies and
holds harmless Boeing from and against all claims, suits, actions, liabilities,
damages and costs arising out of any actual or alleged infringement of any
patent or other intellectual property rights by BFE or arising out of the
installation, sale or use of BFE by Boeing.

received by Boeing more than
five (5) months after delivery of the last Aircraft, (iv) Provisioning
Items which have become obsolete or have been replaced by other Provisioning
Items as a result of Buyer’s modification of the Aircraft, and
(v) Provisioning Items which become excess as a result of a change in
Buyer’s operating parameters, as provided to Boeing prior to the initial
provisioning meeting and which were the basis of Boeing’s initial provisioning
recommendations for the Aircraft.

 

6.3           Notification and
Format.  Buyer will notify Boeing in
writing when Buyer desires to return Provisioning Items under the provisions of
this Article 6.  Buyer’s
notification will include a detailed summary, in part number sequence, of the
Provisioning Items Buyer desires to return. 
Such summary will be in the form of listings, tapes, diskettes or other
media as may be mutually agreed between Boeing and Buyer and will include part
number, nomenclature, purchase order number, purchase order date (or some other
documentation to substantiate the purchase and date of purchase from Boeing)
and quantity to be returned.  Within five
(5) business days after receipt of Buyer’s notification, Boeing will
advise Buyer in writing when Boeing’s review of such summary will be completed
(which shall in no event be later than thirty (30) days after such receipt).

 

6.4           Review and
Acceptance by Boeing.  Upon
completion of Boeing’s review of any detailed summary submitted by Buyer
pursuant to Article 6.3, Boeing will issue to Buyer a Material Return
Authorization (MRA) for those Provisioning Items which are eligible for repurchase
in accordance with this Article 6. 
Boeing will advise Buyer of the reason that any Provisioning Item
included in Buyer’s detailed summary is not eligible for return.  Boeing’s MRA will state the date by which
Provisioning Items listed in the MRA must be redelivered to Boeing (which shall
not be earlier than thirty (30) days from the date the MRA is furnished to
Buyer), and Buyer will arrange for shipment of such Provisioning Items
accordingly.

 

6.5           Price and Payment.  The price of each Provisioning Item
repurchased by Boeing pursuant to this Article 6 will be an amount equal
to 100% of the original invoice price thereof except that the repurchase price
of Provisioning Items purchased pursuant to Article 3.2.2 will not include
Boeing’s 12% handling charge.  Boeing
will pay the repurchase price by issuing a credit memorandum in favor of Buyer
which may be applied against amounts due Boeing for the purchase of Spare Parts
or Standards.

 

6.6           Delivery of
Provisioning Items. Provisioning Items repurchased by Boeing pursuant to
this Article 6 will be delivered to Boeing

Aircraft, Boeing will provide the Spares commitments described in the this
Letter Agreement.

 

1.             Definitions.

 

1.1           “Customer’s Demand Date” means the delivery
date specified by Buyer in its Order to Boeing for a Spare Part.

 

1.2           “Shelf Stock

3.             Liquidated
Damages.

 

3.1           Subject to the
limitations described in Article 3.2, if Boeing does not satisfy the
requirements of (i) Articles 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, Boeing will provide a credit
to the Buyer in an amount of one half of one percent (0.5%) of Boeing’s then current list price of the Boeing Spare
Part for each calendar day the delivery of the Boeing Spare Part is
delayed***.

 

3.2           The provisions of
Article 3.1 will not (i) apply to delay in delivery which results
from an Excusable Delay as defined in the CSGTA or (ii) apply to delay in
delivery which results from the failure of Buyer’s carrier to take possession
of the Boeing Spare Parts.  In addition
liquidated damages will not exceed the then current list price of the applicable Boeing Spare Part.

 

3.3           ***, the liquidated
damages payable in accordance with Article 3 are Buyer’s exclusive
remedies solely for Boeing’s failure to comply with the provisions of Articles

4.             Spare Part Price
Escalation.

 

Beginning
with the Spares Catalog in effect in January 2006 and for each Spares
Catalog released thereafter, (i) the aggregate price of the Spare Parts
listed in both the then current Spares Catalog and the Spares Catalog in effect
prior to the then current Spares Catalog will not be increased to a number
greater than the Spares Adjusted Price as defined in Article 5, and
(ii)  the price of an individual Spare Part listed in both the then
current Spares Catalog and the Spares Catalog in effect prior to the then
current Spares Catalog will not be increased by a factor greater than two times
the escalation factor (AE) where AE = (Lq + Mq) – 1, as Lq and Lq are defined
in Article 5.

 

5.             Spare Part Price
Formula.

 

5.1           The formula used to determine the annual
aggregate price escalation for Spare Parts listed in both the then current
Spares Catalog and the Spares Catalog in effect prior to the then current
Spares Catalog (Spares Adjusted Price) is as follows:

 

AP = 
(P) ( Lq + Mq )

 

Where:

 

AP =       Spares Adjusted Price

 

P
=          Aggregate price of all Spare Parts listed
in the Spares Catalog in effect prior to the then current Spares Catalog that
are also listed in the then current Spares Catalog.

 

Lq
=        The labor index which will be equal to
80% of the quotient obtained from utilizing the Current Year Index Value
(defined below) divided by the Base Year Index Value (defined below) for
“Average Hourly Earnings — Other Aircraft Parts & Equipment” as
published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics including
those noted as preliminary (NAICS Code = 336413, Series ID =
ceu3133641306).  The final value of Lq
will be rounded to the nearest ten thousandth.

 

Mq
=      The material index which will be equal to
20% of the quotient obtained from utilizing the Current Year Index Value
(defined below) divided by the Base Year Index Value (defined below) for
“Producer Price Index — Industrial Commodities” as published by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics including those noted as
preliminary (Series ID = WPU03 through 15).  The final value of Mq will be rounded to the
nearest ten thousandth.

  Current Year Index
  Value =

  	
   

  	
  Arithmetic average
  (rounded to the nearest thousandth) of the April, May and
  June index values of the applicable index for the year preceding the
  effective date of the then current Spares Catalog.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Base Year Index
  Value =

  	
   

  	
  Arithmetic average
  (rounded to the nearest hundredth) of the April, May and June Index
  values of the applicable index for the year two (2) years preceding the
  effective date of the then current Spares Catalog.

  

 

The
final value of AP will be rounded to the nearest dollar.

 

5.2.          If the Bureau of Labor
Statistics substantially revises the methodology used for the determination of
the values to be used to determine the Lq and Mq values (in contrast to
benchmark adjustments or other corrections of previously released values), or
for any reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable
Spares Adjusted Price, Boeing and Buyer will mutually agree upon a substitute
from other Bureau of Labor Statistics data or similar data reported by
non-governmental organizations.  Such
substitute will result in the same adjustment, insofar as possible, as would
have been calculated utilizing the original values adjusted for fluctuation
during the applicable time period.

 

5.3           Any rounding of a
number, as required under this Article 5 will be accomplished as follows:
if the first digit of the portion to be dropped from the number to be rounded
is five or greater, the preceding digit will be raised to the next highest
number.

9.             Assignment.

 

The remedy described in this Letter Agreement are provided as a
financial accommodation to Buyer in consideration of Buyer’s becoming the
operator of the Aircraft, and cannot be assigned, in whole or in part, without
the prior written consent of Boeing.

 

10.           Confidential
Treatment.

 

Buyer understands that certain commercial and financial information
contained in this Letter Agreement is considered by Boeing as
confidential.  Buyer agrees that it will

Agreement and the terms of any other provisions of the CSGTA, the terms of this

5.             BUYER’S
AND BOEING’S OBLIGATION

 

5.1           Buyer’s
and Boeing’s Obligations

 

Buyer’s and Boeing’s specialists will meet, not later than three
(3) months before delivery of the first Guaranteed Aircraft, to mutually
agree on the details of the appropriate reporting procedure(s) for the
Guarantees.

 

5.2           Buyer’s
Obligations

 

a)             Buyer
will regularly submit monthly on-time performance data not later than thirty
(30) days after the end of each Computation Period in a mutually agreed to
electronic interchange file format.  Such
data shall contain such information on Chargeable On-time Events, Chargeable
Mechanical Scheduled Performance Events, Cancellation Events and ODI Events as
may be reasonably required to allow Boeing to assess the nature of system or
component malfunctions. Such data will be further specified in the meeting
pursuant to Subparagraph 5.1 above.

 

b)            Buyer
will notify Boeing not later than one (1) month after a Computation if the
Achieved On-Time Performance, the Achieved Mechanical Scheduled Performance or
the Completion Factor are below (or the Achieved ODI Performance exceeds) the
guaranteed levels set forth in Paragraph 4 above and will request Boeing to
take corrective actions.  In such event,
in order to determine the root causes of the shortfall under the Guarantees and
to determine the necessary action, Buyer will provide additional data as Boeing
may reasonably request without imposing unreasonable economic or operational
burdens on Buyer.

 

c)             Buyer
will incorporate in and apply to the Guaranteed Aircraft on a mutually agreed
time scale the procedures and modifications recommended by Boeing in order to improve
the Achieved On-Time Performance, the Achieved Mechanical Scheduled
Performance, the Completion Factor or the Achieved ODI Performance; provided,
***.

 

d)            Buyer

Agreement No. 2924 (the Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company
(Boeing) and Northwest Airlines, Inc. (Buyer) relating to Model 787
aircraft (the Aircraft)

 

This letter agreement (Letter Agreement) is entered into on the date

Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.                                       Model
787-8 Aircraft.

 

1.1                                 Aircraft
Configuration.

 

Due to the developing design of the 787 Aircraft and the long period of
time between the Purchase Agreement signing and delivery of Buyer’s first
Aircraft, the configuration of Buyer’s Aircraft has not yet been defined.  The parties agree to complete configuration
of the 787-8 Aircraft no later than September 1, 2005, using the
configuration elements defined in 787 Airplane Description and Selections
787B1-0227.which includes available Options (Optional Features) for selection

Buyer may delay engine selection and in such event the engine model shall be
the sole open item.

 

Attachment A to this Letter Agreement lists Optional Features for the
787-8 Aircraft selected by Buyer for planning purposes and pricing estimates.

 

1.2.                              Definitive
Agreement.

 

By ***, Boeing will provide Buyer a written amendment to the Purchase

for the price of Seller Purchased Equipment and an estimate of the total price
of Optional Features. Attachment C to this Letter Agreement identifies the
interior pricing allowance included in the Aircraft Basic Price.  Attachment D to this Letter Agreement contains

and Limitations.

 

9.1                                 If,
with the intent of reducing the cost of Covered Maintenance, Boeing or any
supplier issues service bulletins, service letters or other written
instructions or offers no-charge retrofit kits, Buyer and its subcontractors
will comply with such instructions or install such kits within a period of
eight (8) months after issuance of such instructions or receipt of such
kits at Buyer’s facility, or such longer period as may be otherwise mutually
agreed (Response Period) ***.  If Buyer
or any of its subcontractors does not incorporate and install any such
modification or procedure which Buyer is required to incorporate and install
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, after expiration of the
applicable Response Period all maintenance costs, which would have been
eliminated if such instructions or kits had been incorporated will be
subtracted from the Actual Maintenance Costs reported.

 

9.2                                 Buyer
will promptly notify Boeing in writing of any variations in its maintenance
cost accounting system or procedures or those of its subcontractors which would
affect the proper reporting of Actual Maintenance Costs.  Boeing will review with Buyer such variations
and as appropriate make adjustments in a commercially reasonable manner to the
Cumulative Average Target Maintenance Cost to reflect the effect of any such
variations.

 

9.3                                 Upon
reasonable notice to Buyer, Boeing will have the right, at reasonable times and
intervals and upon prior written notice to Buyer, to audit all Actual
Maintenance Costs reported by Buyer during the Program Term, as well as the
maintenance practices and procedures related thereto, provided that such audit
shall not interfere with Buyer’s flight operations and maintenance
procedures.  *** Buyer will audit from
time to time its subcontractors’ maintenance records and practices during the
Program as they pertain to the Covered Aircraft, and release to Boeing such
audit findings and subcontractor maintenance records that, within its contract
terms with such subcontractor, Buyer is allowed to release to Boeing as a third
party.  As is necessary, Buyer will use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the ability to release all such information
to Boeing.  If requested, Boeing will
enter into a proprietary information agreement with subcontractor.  Boeing and Buyer will work in good faith to
verify and properly account for data reported by Buyer for which Boeing does
not receive sufficient data to verify, in accordance with the provisions of
this Letter Agreement, either the labor hours performed or the material costs
incurred in performing such maintenance. 
Should the parties be unable to so verify and properly account for such
reported data, Boeing will provide Buyer written notification of its
disapproval of any such costs, and Boeing will deduct such costs from the
computation of Actual Maintenance Costs.

Period Adjustments.

 

4.1                                 Material
Costs.

 

The reported Line Maintenance Material Cost,
Base Maintenance Material Cost and Shop Material Cost for a Reporting Period
will be revised to values expressed in the Base Year by multiplying such costs
by the ratio of the average of the values of the Material Index published for
the twelve months of the Base Year to the average of the values for the
Material Index published during twelve months of the applicable Reporting
Period.

 

4.2                                 Labor
Costs.

 

The reported Line Maintenance Labor Cost,
Base Maintenance Labor Cost and Subcontracted Base Maintenance Labor Cost for a
Reporting Period will be revised by multiplying the reported labor cost by the
ratio of the labor rate specified in the operational assumptions section of
Attachment A to the Buyer’s then-current labor rate, as reported in Attachment
D.

4.3                                 Shop
Labor Costs.

 

The reported Shop Labor Cost for a Reporting
Period will be revised to values expressed in the Base Year by multiplying such
costs by the ratio of the average of the values of the Labor Index published
for the twelve months of the Base Year to the average of the values for the
Labor Index published during twelve months of the applicable Reporting Period.

 

5.0                                 Recalculation
of Target Maintenance Cost.

 

5.1                                 Average
Flight Time.

 

If the Actual Average Flight Time (AAFT) for
any Reporting Period differs from the Projected Average Flight Time (PAFT) of
8.23 hours by more than +/- 1.0 Flight Hours, the Target Material Cost (TMC)
and Target Labor Cost for that Reporting Period will be adjusted using the
methodology specified in Paragraph 5.2 below to reflect the AAFT, where:

 

5.1.1                        Actual Average Flight Time (AAFT) means the Total Fleet
Flight Hours reported in Attachment D divided by Total Fleet Landings reported
in Attachment D.

 

5.2                                 Method
for Recalculating Target Maintenance Cost

 

As permitted by paragraph 5.1 of this
Attachment B, the Target Maintenance Cost for a Reporting Period will be
recalculated using the following formula and using the operational assumptions
provided by the Buyer for the Reporting Period in Attachment D to the Letter
Agreement:

 

Recalculated Target Cost (or RTC) = ((BB +
(Average Flight Time * AA))/Average Flight Time)

 

Where:  AA is dollars per flight hour and BB is
dollars per cycle as derived from the Mature Fleet Benchmark Data and the data
provided in Attachment H as detailed below.

 

BB = R * $PerCycle

 

AA = R * $PerFlightHour

 

***

 

5.3                                 Covered
Aircraft.

 

The Target Maintenance Cost is based on the
number of Covered Aircraft.  If the
number of Covered Aircraft changes during any Reporting Period, the Target
Maintenance Cost will be recalculated for that Reporting Period to address any
change to the average fleet age by using the methodology specified in paragraph
5.7, below.

 

5.4                                 Delivery
Schedule.

 

If the delivery schedule for the Covered
Aircraft described in Table 1 to the Purchase Agreement changes during any
Reporting Period, the Target Maintenance Cost will be recalculated for that
Reporting Period and subsequent Reporting Periods to address any resulting
changes to the average fleet age using the methodology specified in paragraph
5.7, below.

 

5.5                                 ***

5.7                                 Age
Adjustment.

 

Age Adjustments will be based on the average
fleet age during a Reporting Period and the factors set forth in the tables
below.  Maintenance Cost Benchmark Data
will be adjusted to maturity by dividing the cost for

a given period by the Maturity Factor which corresponds to the average
fleet age.  The Target Maintenance Cost
will be calculated by multiplying the Target Mature Maintenance Cost by the
maturity factor corresponding to the average age of the Covered Aircraft at the
time of the Reporting Period.  The
Composite Airplane table applies to the 787 aircraft; the MSG-3  table applies to aircraft with FAA type
certificates granted after 1979.  ***

  Purchase Agreement No. 2924 (the Purchase
  Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and Northwest
  Airlines, Inc. (Buyer) relating to Model 787-8 aircraft (Aircraft)

  

 

This letter agreement
(Letter Agreement) amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement.  All terms used but not defined in this Letter
Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

 

In addition to the
allowance for Boeing’s use of Buyer’s Aircraft for performing flight tests
prior to delivery as provided in Article 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement, Boeing
and Buyer agree that *** 787-8 Aircraft identified in Table 1 of the Purchase
Agreement will be used by Boeing in its flight test program for (i) obtaining
the FAA Type and Airworthiness Certificates for the standard Model 787-8 aircraft
as required under Article 8.1.1.1 of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) any
other testing required by the FAA, (iii) any testing required by the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), (iv) early ETOPS program testing, (v) any developmental testing (which
will be no more rigorous than testing required for obtaining the FAA Type and
Airworthiness Certificate) which is needed to develop a new design if problems
are discovered in flight test (such as lateral trim, stall characteristics and
other design issues), if required, and (vi) *** Boeing marketing
demonstration flights.  Such
Aircraft are herein after referred to as the Test Aircraft and such test
program is hereinafter referred to as the Test Program.

***

 

The Test Aircraft will be
manufactured early, flight tested, refurbished and delivered to Buyer in its
scheduled delivery month pursuant to Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement.  It is hereby agreed that Buyer will accept
delivery of the Test Aircraft without any reduction in the purchase price
thereof on account of the depreciation and reasonable wear and tear resulting
from the Test Program subject to the provisions set forth below.

1.             Test
Aircraft Refurbishment.

 

Boeing
will refurbish each Test Aircraft prior to delivery thereof to Buyer to ensure
such Test Aircraft is in compliance with the Detail Specification to be derived
from Boeing 787 Airplane Description and Selections Document.  Reasonable wear and tear will be permissible
in all areas of the Test Aircraft except interior areas exposed to passenger
view ***.  Such interior areas will be in
a condition, at time of delivery to Buyer, comparable to the same areas of
other Aircraft delivered to Buyer in the same time period as the Test Aircraft.

 

Analysis, inspections,
and determination of repairs or replacements will be performed to Boeing
standards.  Significant damage (if any)
shall be subject to discussion between Boeing and Buyer so as to determine the
most reasonable and practicable correction. 
Each Test Aircraft will be in a flight test livery until it is repainted
during refurbishment.

 

2.             Removal
of Wiring and Test Instrumentation.

 

The
wiring installation in the Test Aircraft will be the same as in the other
Aircraft being purchased by the Buyer under the Agreement, except for wiring configuration
differences permitted by contract and except for residual flight test wiring
and instrumentation.  Boeing shall remove
all flight test wiring and instrumentation to the extent practicable.  The residual flight test wiring and
instrumentation will be minimal in amount and weight, will be readily
identifiable, will be firmly affixed to the Test Aircraft, and will not
physically or electrically affect Test Aircraft systems at delivery to Buyer.  ***

 

3.             PRR
and Service Bulletin Incorporation.

 

During
the refurbishment of each Test Aircraft, Boeing will incorporate all applicable
Production Revision Records (PRRs) and Service Bulletins which have been released
by Boeing for incorporation in other Aircraft scheduled for delivery to Buyer
prior to the scheduled delivery of the Test Aircraft except for any such PRRs
and/or Service Bulletins which are impracticable (in the reasonable mutual judgment
of Boeing and Buyer) to so retrofit on the Test Aircraft.  Boeing will review its plans for
incorporation of such PRRs and Service Bulletins with Buyer prior to the
refurbishment of the Test Aircraft.  Any
delay in the delivery of the Test Aircraft resulting from the incorporation of
such PRRs and/or Service Bulletins shall be an excusable delay within the meaning
of Article 6 of the Purchase Agreement. 
If the reason for not incorporating any such PRR or service bulletin is
the unavailability of retrofit kits, Boeing will furnish such retrofit kits to Buyer
at no charge as soon as they can reasonably be made available and Boeing will
reimburse Buyer for its direct labor to install such kits at the then current
warranty labor reimbursement rate.

4.             Wheels,
Tires and Brakes.

 

Boeing
will install new tires, wheels and brakes on each Test Aircraft after such
flight tests and prior to delivery thereof.

 

***

 

7.             Aircraft
Maintenance.

 

Boeing
will maintain the Test Aircraft to Boeing standards.  Boeing will accomplish all required
maintenance and inspections, consistent with the accumulated hours, cycles and
days, prior to delivery.  At time of
delivery, Boeing will provide the Buyer a maintenance log in the Buyer’s format
containing one Maintenance Check Completion Status Summary report.  The Maintenance Review Board Report will be
used to set the starting level of the Buyer’s maintenance program at the time
of delivery.

 

8.             Warranty.

 

The
terms and conditions of the Product Assurance Document (Exhibit B to the
Purchase Agreement) will run full term from the date of the delivery of each
Test Aircraft to Buyer.  ***

 

9.             Other
Terms and Conditions.

 

Additional
terms and conditions relating to the Test Program will be added to this Letter
Agreement upon final definition of such program.  All terms and conditions relating to the
manufacture, sale and purchase of the Aircraft as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement will remain in full force and effect for the Test Aircraft, except as
amended by the provisions set forth herein. 
In the event of damage to any Test Aircraft, Boeing will immediately
notify Buyer and will begin discussions that will result in an understanding
culminating in the mutual satisfaction of both Boeing and Buyer.

 

10.           Confidential
Treatment.

 

Buyer
understands that certain commercial information contained in this Letter
Agreement are considered by Boeing as confidential.  Buyer agrees that it will treat this Letter
Agreement and the information contained herein as confidential and will not,
without the prior written consent of Boeing, disclose this Letter Agreement or
any information contained herein to any other person or entity, except as
required by law.

This letter agreement
(Letter Agreement) is entered into on the date below, and amends and
supplements the Purchase Agreement.  All
terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in
the Purchase Agreement.

 

In recognition of Buyer’s
status as a launch customer of the Aircraft, and the desire of Boeing and Buyer
for the Aircraft to successfully enter into service, Boeing agrees to provide
incremental entry-into-service support, described in Paragraph 1, which is
separate and in addition to the three (3) person introductory Field
Service support already committed in Exhibit C, Part B (EIS Package).

 

The additional support
described in this Letter Agreement will be provided for a period of one year
following the delivery of the first Aircraft, except as noted in Paragraphs 1.2
and 1.3.

 

1.             EIS
Package Content

 

1.1           Boeing
and its suppliers are preparing for and are committed to a smooth entry into
service for the 787 aircraft.  In order
to facilitate a timely and appropriate response to significant emerging Boeing
and/or supplier issues or problems, identified by Buyer’s senior management,
Boeing will provide, at no charge, a 787 Program senior manager, located in
Seattle, who is responsible, for the Buyer’s EIS support.  This manager will contact the appropriate
organization and level of management, within Boeing or the supplier,
responsible to resolve the issue or problem and will track its status through
its resolution.  Boeing’s intent is to
respond within twenty-four (24) hours, quickly resolve problems and process

any associated spare parts with the same priority as an AOG.  Emergent hardware issues will be worked even
if MTBUR targets are met.

 

1.2           Boeing
will provide, at no charge, a team of up to three (3) Boeing specialists
who will be located on the Buyer’s site in Minneapolis, Minnesota for a minimum
period of 90 days.  The period of time
that these engineers remain on-site may be extended in 30-day increments if
required by Buyer, up to a reasonable maximum period of time sufficient to
ensure the Aircraft has a successful entry into service.  The Boeing specialist’s area of expertise
shall be mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Boeing.

 

1.3           Boeing
will work with its suppliers to have, at no charge to Buyer, a team of up to
three (3) supplier specialists on the Buyer’s site in Minneapolis,
Minnesota for a minimum period of 90 days.  The period of time that these specialists
remain on-site may be extended in 30-day increments if required by Buyer, up to
a reasonable maximum period of time sufficient to ensure the Aircraft has a
successful entry into service. The supplier specialist’s area of expertise
shall be mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Boeing.

 

1.4           Boeing
will implement and manage a special AOG process with suppliers to prioritize
engineering resources and deliver spare parts that are critical to the
successful introduction of the Aircraft into service. This objective will be
achieved through provisioning planning with suppliers, the creation of an AOG
problem management process, the daily engagement of the onsite Boeing and
Supplier teams, and the intervention and leadership of the 787 Program senior
manager responsible for Buyer’s EIS Package.

 

2.             Assignment.

 

Accommodations
contained in this Letter Agreement are in response to Buyer’s specific request
and made in consideration of Buyer becoming the operator of the Aircraft and
cannot be assigned, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of
Boeing.

 

3.             Confidential
Treatment.

 

Buyer
understands that certain commercial and financial information contained in this
Letter Agreement is considered by Boeing as confidential.  Buyer agrees that it will treat this Letter
Agreement and the information contained herein as confidential and,

This letter agreement
(Letter Agreement) is entered into on the date below, and amends and
supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this
Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.             Buyer’s
Substitution Rights and Conditions.

 

Boeing
provides Buyer with the right to substitute the purchase of Boeing model 787-9
aircraft (Substitute Aircraft) in place of the Aircraft, subject to the terms
and conditions below:

 

***

 

1.2           For configurations not previously certified
for other Substitute Aircraft, Buyer must provide written notice of its
intention to substitute the purchase of an Aircraft with the purchase of a
Substitute Aircraft, and define the configuration of the model 787-9 aircraft
(including engines), no later than the first day of the month *** prior to
delivery of the Substitute Aircraft.

 

1.3           For
Substitute Aircraft configurations that have been previously certified Buyer
shall provide written notice of its intention to substitute the purchase of an
Aircraft with the purchase of a Substitute Aircraft no later than the first day
of the month *** prior to the scheduled month of delivery of the Aircraft for
which it will be substituted.

 

2.             Boeing’s

Boeing will tentatively
quote delivery positions for Substitute Aircraft to allow Buyer to secure
quotes from Seller Purchased Equipment vendors or Buyer Furnished Equipment
vendors, and for Boeing to secure quotes from Seller Furnished Equipment
vendors which supports the required on-dock dates.  *** Boeing is unable to manufacture the
Substitute Aircraft in the scheduled delivery month of the Aircraft for which
it will be substituted, then Boeing shall promptly make a written offer of an
alternate delivery month which shall be the first month following such
scheduled delivery month in which Boeing possesses such production capability
for Buyer’s consideration and written acceptance within thirty (30) days of
such offer.

 

***

 

3.             Definitive
Agreement.

 

Buyer’s
substitution right and Boeing’s obligation in this Letter Agreement are further
conditioned upon Buyer’s and Boeing’s executing a Supplemental Agreement to the
Purchase Agreement reflecting the substitution of the Substitute Aircraft.

 

4.             Price
and Advance Payments.

 

The
Airframe Base Price for the Substitute Aircraft is *** 2004$ subject to
escalation, calculated using the method described in Exhibit D (2004$
STE). The Optional Features prices and Seller Purchaser Equipment (SPE)
estimate will be adjusted to reflect the current Aircraft configuration at the
time Buyer exercises it substitution right. The Engine Price will be adjusted
to the engine manufacturer’s then-current prices as of the date of execution of
the Supplemental Agreement for the Substitute Aircraft.  The escalation indices and methodology used
to estimate the Advance Payment Base Prices will be adjusted to Boeing’s and
the engine manufacturer’s then-current provisions for such elements as of the
date of execution of the Supplemental Agreement for the Substitute Aircraft.

 

If the Advance Payment
Base Price for any Substitute Aircraft is higher than that of the Aircraft,
Buyer shall promptly pay to Boeing the amount of the difference as of the date
of execution of the Supplemental Agreement for the Substitute Aircraft.
