CFMI's Spare Parts Catalog as from time to time revised by CFMI.
C. CFMI will advise Airline in writing * days in advance of any changes in prices in CFMI's Spare Parts
Catalog. During such * day period, CFMI shall not be obligated to accept Airline purchase orders for

price change.
D. The selling prices of all Products shall be expressed in U.S. Dollars.
ARTICLE III ORDER PLACEMENT
A. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the printed terms and conditions appearing on

Section III of the attached Exhibit B within one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt from CFMI of
initial provisioning data relating thereto.
E. CFMI's acknowledgment of each purchase order shall constitute acceptance thereof. If CFMI fails to

shall be deemed to have been accepted by CFMI in accordance with its terms. In the case of emergency,
shipment of spare Parts by CFMI in accordance with Section III G.2 of Exhibit B shall constitute acceptance
of the purchase order for such spare Parts.
ARTICLE IV DELIVERY
A. Except as otherwise provided under Section III.G. of Exhibit B herein, CFMI shall deliver Products under
each purchase order placed by Airline and accepted by CFMI, on a mutually agreed upon schedule consistent
with CFMI's lead times and as set forth in each such purchase order. Delivery dates are subject to (1)

in accordance with CFMI's normal standards for domestic shipment or export shipment. Any special boxing or
preparation for shipment specified by Airline shall be for Airline's account and responsibility. The cost
of any re usable shipping stand or container is not included in the price of Engines or of equipment and
will be paid by Airline within ten (10) days of presentation of CFMI's invoice if such stand or container
is not returned by Airline, ex works the original point of shipment, in the condition in which it was
received by Airline within ninety (90) days after shipment. CFMI may, at its option, use non reusable
shipping stands or containers at no charge to Airline.
E. CFMI shall deliver spare Parts packaged and labeled in accordance with ATA Spec 300, Revision No. 4, or to
a revision mutually agreed in writing between CFMI and Airline. CFMI shall notify Airline, when applicable,

such taxes, duties, fees, charges or assessments be refunded, Airline shall repay to CFMI such part thereof
as CFMI shall have paid, together with any interest received by Airline with respect thereto. CFMI shall
pay to Airline, upon demand, all expenses (including penalties and interest, other than any such penalties
or interest resulting from the failure of Airline seasonably to pay any such taxes, duties, fees, charges
or assessments which it has reason to believe are applicable, unless such nonpayment is directed by CFMI)
incurred by Airline in protesting payment and in endeavoring to obtain such refund, in each case at CFMI's
request.

any other charges whatsoever (including without limitation, sales, use, excise, turnover or value added tax
but excluding any taxes in the nature of income taxes) imposed or levied in connection with such Products
from and after their delivery and Airline shall pay to CFMI, upon demand, or furnish to CFMI evidence of
exemption therefrom, any such items legally assessed or levied by any governmental authority against CFMI
or its employees, its subsidiaries or their employees. If claim is made against CFMI for any such duties,
fees, charges, or assessments, CFMI shall immediately notify Airline and, if requested by Airline, CFMI
shall not pay except under protest, and if payment be made, shall use all reasonable effort to obtain a
refund thereof. If all or any part of any such taxes, duties, fees, charges or assessments be refunded,
CFMI shall repay to Airline such part thereof as Airline shall have paid, together with any interest
===
received by CFMI with respect thereto. Airline shall pay to CFMI, upon demand, all expenses (including
penalties and interest other than any such penalties or interest resulting from the failure of CFMI
seasonably to pay any such taxes, duties, fees, charges or assessments which it has reason to believe are
applicable, unless such nonpayment is directed by Airline) incurred by CFMI in protesting payment and in
endeavoring to obtain such refund, in each case at Airline's request.

ARTICLE VIII EXCUSABLE DELAY
CFMI shall not be liable for delays in delivery or failure to deliver due to (1) causes beyond its reasonable
control, or (2) acts of God, acts of Airline, acts of civil or military authority, fires, strikes, floods,
epidemics, war, civil disorder, riot, delays in transportation, or (3) inability due to causes beyond its
reasonable control to obtain necessary labor, material, or components. As used herein, the term "CFMI" shall be
deemed to mean CFMI, GE and SNECMA. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery shall be extended for a
period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. This provision shall not, however, relieve CFMI from using
reasonable efforts to continue performance whenever such causes are removed. The final invoice price at the time
of delivery following any delay referred to in this Article VIII (other than any such delay caused by Airline)
shall be the invoice price at the originally scheduled delivery date set forth in the applicable purchase order.
CFMI shall promptly notify Airline when delays occur or impending delays are likely to occur and shall continue
to advise it of new shipping schedules and/or changes thereto. In the event an excusable delay continues, or
CFMI advises Airline that such a delay is likely to continue for a period of six (6) months or more beyond the
scheduled delivery date, Airline may, upon thirty days written notice to CFMI, cancel all or any part of any
purchase order so delayed. In the event an excusable delay continues, or CFMI advises Airline that such a delay
is likely to continue for a period of twelve (12) months or more beyond the scheduled delivery date, Airline or
CFMI may, upon thirty days written notice to the other, cancel all or any part of any purchase order so delayed.
Upon any cancellation pursuant to this Article VIII, CFMI shall return to Airline all payments relative to the
canceled part of the order. Airline shall pay CFMI its reasonable cancellation charges if the delay arises due
to acts of Airline.
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 expeditiously, at its own expense and at its
option, either (1) procure for Airline the right to continue using said Product; (2) replace same with
satisfactory and noninfringing Product; or (3) modify same so it becomes satisfactory and noninfringing.
CFMI shall not be responsible to Airline or to any other airline, for incidental or consequential damages,
including, but not limited to, costs, expenses, liabilities and/or loss of profits resulting from loss of
use under this Article IX.
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.
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.
ARTICLE XI FAA AND DGAC CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
A. All Products shall, at time of delivery:
1. Conform to a Type Certificate issued by the FAA and DGAC , if applicable;
2. Conform to applicable regulations issued by the FAA and DGAC; and
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 effect of compliance with such regulations.
ARTICLE XII TERMINATION FOR INSOLVENCY
A. Upon the commencement of any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding by or against either party hereto (the
"Defaulting Party"), the other party hereto may, upon written notice to the Defaulting Party, cease to
perform any and all of its obligations under this Agreement and the purchase orders hereunder (including,
without limitation, continuing work in progress and making deliveries or progress payments or downpayments)
unless the Defaulting Party shall provide adequate assurance, in the opinion of the other party hereto,
that the Defaulting Party will continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and the
purchase orders hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, and will promptly compensate the other party
hereto for any actual pecuniary loss resulting from the Defaulting Party being unable to perform in full
its obligations hereunder and under the purchase orders. If the Defaulting Party or the trustee thereof
shall fail to promptly provide such adequate assurance, upon notice to the Defaulting Party by the other
party hereto, this Agreement and all purchase orders hereunder shall be canceled, any deposits shall be
===
promptly returned, and neither party 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 sixty (60) days thereafter. Such notice of cancellation
shall be given thirty (30) days 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.
ARTICLE XIII WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
A. CFMI's warranties with respect to Products, either purchased by Airline from CFMI or installed on Airline's
Aircraft as original equipment, are set forth in Section II of Exhibit B.

damages. As used herein, the term "CFMI" shall be deemed to include GE, SNECMA and CFMI. THE WARRANTIES
AND GUARANTEES SET FORTH IN THE 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).

Products, Airline shall pay CFMI for all 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
