Within ninety (90) days after the Aircraft’s departure, ATS shall issue an Invoice itemizing the remaining balance for labor and materials acutely provided with respect to the Aircraft, subject to supplementation based upon ATS’s receipt of additional charges from third-party material suppliers; provided, however, ATS shall notify Customer of the potential for such supplementation at the time it issues such Invoice. Any remaining balance due ATS, will be due and payable thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and in addition to any other remedy to which ATS may be entitled, ATS may in its sole discretion demand complete payment for one hundred percent100% of all labor and materials for Airframe services with respect to any Aircraft at any time prior to the departure of such Aircraft from ATS airframe if Customer is default in payment.

The right of Customer to review ATS records shall extend to any agent, consultant or advisor of Customer reasonably acceptable to ATS which agrees to execute a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to ATS, and which agrees to abide by applicable ATS safety and security restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Customer nor its agents, consultants or advisors shall have any right to review (i) information concerning the actual labor hours expended by ATS to complete any Airframe Services performed on a fixed fee basis, including Basic Services performed for the Basic Services Fixed
5
Fee, and (ii) any other books and records of ATS, including books and records relating to ATS’ fees or charges to any other customer or ATS’ general accounts or financial information.
4.2.3. Disputed Amounts. Any Invoice submitted by ATS shall be final as to Customer unless Customer shall have notified ATS in writing (a “Notice of Disagreement”) within ninety (90) days of the Invoice date of a disagreement with respect to all or a portion of any Invoice. Such Notice of Disagreement shall specify the dollar amount of the disagreement (the “Disputed Amount”) and identify in reasonable detail the basis of Customer’s good faith determination that the invoice amount is incorrect. Customer shall pay when due all amounts other than Disputed Amounts. Following receipt by ATS of a Notice of Disagreement, ATS and Customer shall use good faith efforts to resolve such Disputed Amounts. If ATS and Customer are unable to satisfactorily resolve such Disputed Amounts within thirty (30) days of ATS’ receipt of the Notice of Disagreement, the Disputed Amount shall be settled by arbitration in Honolulu, Hawaii, in accordance with the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association for Commercial Disputes; provided, however, that (i) in the event of any conflict between this and any other provision of this Agreement and such rules, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail, and (ii) any claim must be presented for arbitration within six (6) months of the date upon which the aggrieved Party became aware of, or should have become aware of, the alleged claim. Failure to assert a claim within six (6) months shall forever bar assertion of the claim. The results of any arbitration shall be final and binding upon the Parties and judgment thereon may be entered in any Hawaii court
4.2.4. Late Payment Charges. If any Customer payment obligation hereunder is not paid when due, (i) Customer shall pay interest on such amount calculated from the date such amount is due until the date of payment in full at the lower of one and one-half percent per month or the maximum rate allowable under applicable law, and (ii) ATS shall have the right upon notice to Customer to suspend performance of Airframe Services and to terminate this Agreement. No forbearance or course of dealing shall affect these rights of ATS.
4.3. Customer as Responsible Party. Customer represents that it has all necessary authority to authorize the Airframe Services on the Aircraft. Notwithstanding any understandings or agreements that Customer may have from time to time with third parties and without limiting ATS’ rights or remedies upon Customer’s default, ATS shall look solely to Customer for payment of all amounts owing under this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of Customer under this Agreement. Customer shall hold harmless and defend ATS from and against any claims or charges asserted by any third parties claiming an interest in the Aircraft, or questioning the purchase of the Airframe Services by Customer from ATS.

Each party will use its reasonable efforts to assist the other, and in no event will oppose any action by the other party to obtain appropriate confidential treatment or protective relief as contemplated by this Section 13.15. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer acknowledges that the public disclosure of the terms of this Agreement is likely to cause substantial competitive harm to ATS.
