 ARTICLE VIII– EXCUSABLE DELAY 

CFMI shall not be liable for delays in delivery or failure to deliver due to *****. As used herein, the term “CFMI” shall be deemed to mean CFMI, GE

 ARTICLE IX – PATENTS 
  

	A.	CFMI hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Airline harmless from and against, and shall handle all claims and defend any suit or proceeding brought against Airline insofar as based on, any claim that without further
combination, any Product furnished under this Agreement constitutes an infringement of any patent of the United States or of any patent of any other country that is signatory to Article 27 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation signed by
the United States at Chicago on December 7, 1944, in which Airline is authorized to operate or in which another airline pursuant to lawful interchange, lease or similar arrangement, operates aircraft of Airline. This paragraph shall apply only
to any Product manufactured to CFMI’s design. 

  

	B.	CFMI’s liability hereunder is conditioned upon Airline promptly notifying CFMI in writing and giving CFMI authority, information and assistance (at CFMI’s expense) for the defense of any suit or proceeding. In
case such Product is held in such suit or proceeding to constitute infringement and/or the use of said Product is enjoined or otherwise prohibited, CFMI shall ***** 

The foregoing shall constitute the sole remedy of Airline and the sole liability of CFMI for patent infringement. 

ARTICLE X – INFORMATION AND DATA 
  

	A.	All technical information and data (including, but not limited to, designs, drawings, blueprints, tracings, plans, models, layouts, specifications, and memoranda) which may be furnished or made available to Airline
directly or indirectly as the result of this Agreement shall remain the property of CFMI, GE or SNECMA as the case may be. This information and data is proprietary to CFMI and shall neither be used by Airline nor furnished by Airline to any other
person, firm or corporation for the design or manufacture of any Product nor permitted out of Airline’s possession nor divulged to any other person, firm or corporation, except as required by law or court order (provided Airline shall first
give CFMI prompt written notice of any such law or court orders and such notice affords CFMI a reasonable opportunity to object to such disclosure or otherwise seek an appropriate protective order) or as otherwise provided herein or agreed in
writing. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Airline from using such information and data for modification, overhaul, or maintenance work performed by Airline on Airline’s Products; except that all repairs or repair processes that require
substantiation (including, but not limited to, high technology repairs) will be the subject of a separate license and substantiated repair agreement between CFMI and Airline. As an alternative to CFMI engine maintenance centers and Airline’s
own maintenance facilities, CFMI will negotiate in good faith with a third party engine maintenance facility for CFM56 engine overhaul subject to acceptance of CFMI’s licensing terms by such third party engine maintenance facility. Airline
shall take all steps reasonably necessary to insure compliance by its employees, and agents with this Article X. The instrument by which Airline transfers any Product may permit the use of such information and data by its transferees, subject to the
same limitations set forth above. 

  
 *****Confidential portions of the
material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

	B.	Nothing in this Agreement shall convey to Airline the right to reproduce or cause the reproduction of any Product of a design identical or similar to that of the Product purchased hereunder or give to Airline a license
under any patents or rights owned or controlled by CFMI, GE or SNECMA. 

  

	C.	If computer software is provided by CFMI to Airline under this Agreement, it is understood that only CFMI owns and/or has the right to license such software product(s) and that Airline shall have no rights in such
software; except, as may be explicitly set forth in a separate written agreement between CFMI and Airline.

	 	3.	Be delivered with an export certificate of airworthiness, if applicable, for export to the United States. 

  

	B.	If, subsequent to the date of acceptance of the purchase order for such Products but prior to their delivery by CFMI to Airline, the FAA and/or DGAC issue changes in regulations covering Products sold under this
Agreement then CFMI will make any modifications necessary to cause such Products to comply with such regulations and all costs associated with such modifications, if any, required as a result thereof, will be shared equally by CFMI and Airline;
provided however, that costs associated with any modifications to the airframe required by such Product modifications shall not be borne by CFM. 

  

	C.	Any delay occasioned by complying with such regulations set forth in Paragraph B above shall be deemed an Excusable Delay under Article VIII hereof, and, in addition, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
specifications to reflect the reflect of compliance with such regulations.

shall have any further obligation to the other hereunder, except such obligations which have accrued prior to such cancellation. 

  

	B.	Either party, at its option, may cancel this Agreement or any purchase order hereunder with respect to any or all of the Products to be furnished hereunder which are undelivered or not furnished on the effective date of
such cancellation by giving the other party written notice, as hereinafter provided, at any time after a receiver of the other’s assets is appointed on account of insolvency, or the other makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors and such appointment of a receiver shall remain in force undismissed, unvacated or unstayed for a period of ***** thereafter. Such notice of cancellation shall be given ***** prior to the effective date of cancellation, except that, in the
case of a voluntary general assignment for the benefit of creditors, such notice need not precede the effective date of cancellation.

fees and expenses including, but not limited to, those covering preparation of consular invoices, freight, storage, and Warehouse to Warehouse (including war risk) insurance, upon submission of CFMI’s invoices. In such event, CFMI will assist
Airline in applying for any required export license and in preparing consular documents according to Airline’s instructions or in the absence thereof, according to its best judgment but without liability for error or incorrect declarations
including, but not limited to, liability for fines or other charges. 
 ARTICLE XV – GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATION 

CFMI shall be responsible for obtaining any Export Certificate of Airworthiness and any export license required in respect of Products when delivered new to

	J.	Special Guarantees 

 The following special guarantees apply to all of Airline’s new
CFM56-5B5/P powered A319 Aircraft. The basis and conditions for application of these guarantees are described in Attachment A hereto. 
  

	 	1.	In-flight shut-down (“IFSD”) Rate Guarantee 

 CFMI guarantees that Airline will
experience ***** Engine-caused IFSD’s during the first ***** of revenue service. If at any time during the guarantee period Airline experiences an Engine-caused IFSD, CFMI will provide Airline a credit against purchases from CFMI in the amount
of US ***** for each such IFSD. 
 For purposes of this guarantee, an “IFSD” is defined as (i) when an Engine Part Fails or
malfunctions causing an Engine-imposed shutdown during flight or (ii) subject to investigation to verify compliance with the Flight Crew operating manual, when the flight crew elects to shut off fuel to the Engine during flight solely due to an
Engine Part Failure or malfunction. 
  

	 	2.	Delay and Cancellation Rate Guarantee 

 CFMI guarantees that Airline’s *****
cumulative Engine-caused Delay (in excess of *****) and Cancellation rate for revenue flights will not exceed *****, if at the end of the guarantee period the guaranteed rate is exceeded, CFMI will provide Airline a credit against purchases from
CFMI in the amount of US ***** for each Engine-caused Delay or Cancellation in excess of the guaranteed rate. 
 “Delays and
Cancellations” are defined in Attachment B. 
  

	 	3.	Remote Site Removal Rate Guarantee 

 CFMI guarantees that Airline will experience no
Engine Remote Site Removal during the first ***** of its Engine revenue service. If Airline experiences such a Remote Site Removal, CFMI will provide Airline a credit against purchases from CFMI in the amount of US***** for each such removal. 

For purpose of this guarantee, “Remote Site Removal” is defined as an Engine-caused Failure requiring Engine removal from the
Aircraft at any location except Denver. 
  

	 	4.	Extended New Engine Warranty 

 CFMI guarantees that Airline’s new Engines and Engine
Modules will operate without Failure requiring removal for the first *****. 

  
 *****Confidential portions of the
material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 Should an Engine or Engine Module be removed due to a Failure covered by this guarantee, CFMI
will provide *****. Thereafter, the Parts Credit Allowance and Labor Allowance will decrease *****. 
 Annual settlements will be conducted
with respect to each of the foregoing special guarantees. Final settlement for the guarantee shall occur at the end of the guarantee period. In the event an annual settlement results in a credit to Airline because the guaranteed rate is exceeded at
that time but the guarantee is met at either a subsequent interim settlement or the final settlement, then such credit shall be repaid by Airline at such time. In the event the guarantee is not subsequently met, the interim settlement shall be
offset against any subsequent amount due under the guaranteed cumulative rate. 
 THE WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES SET FORTH IN THIS PRODUCT SUPPORT PLAN
ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES, WHETHER WRITTEN, STATUTORY, ORAL, OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PURPOSE).
