(a) Delivery of Equipment. Customer shall have delivered such Equipment F.O.B. to American at its Tulsa Maintenance Base, including applicable taxes and fees; provided, however, that American may, upon sixty (60) days' prior notice to Customer, specify (as to Equipment other than an aircraft) or request Customer's consent to (as to aircraft) another American location within the continental United States as the F.O.B. point for the delivery of such Equipment type hereunder. Customer shall reply to any such request within ten (10) business days thereafter.

ARTICLE III
PAYMENTS AND CHARGES
3.01. Charges. In consideration of any Services performed hereunder, Customer shall pay or cause to be paid to American, in accordance with this Article III, the charges set forth in the applicable Exhibit A.
3.02. Invoices and Payments. Unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Exhibit A, Customer shall pay the total estimated amount to be charged for all Services performed hereunder prior to redelivery of the Equipment. As soon as practicable following the completion of such Services, American shall issue a reconciling invoice for any outstanding sums, which sums shall be paid within thirty (30) days after issuance of such invoice. All payments shall be made in United States Dollars. If Customer shall fail to pay when due any amounts or charges required to be paid by Customer hereunder, such unpaid amount shall bear interest from and including the date payment was due until the date payment is actually received by American at a per annum interest rate equal to the lesser of (a) 12 percent or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
3.03. Nonpayment. In the event of any (a) material adverse change in Customer's financial condition such that American shall reasonably conclude that payment by Customer for specifically-identified Services hereunder is unlikely, or (b) failure of Customer to promptly pay in full for any prior Services hereunder, which payment is not being disputed pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures hereunder, American may, at its option and upon reasonable prior notice to Customer, require that Customer: (c) procure one or more letters of credit in American's favor (which letter(s) of credit shall be in an aggregate amount sufficient to ensure that American will be promptly paid in full for specifically-identified Services anticipated to be performed hereunder and otherwise reasonably satisfactory in all respects to American), (d) deposit with American sufficient funds to ensure that American will be promptly paid for specifically-identified Services anticipated to be performed hereunder, or (e) otherwise modify the payment terms provided in this Agreement as American deems reasonably necessary to ensure that it will be promptly paid in full for such Services performed hereunder. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article X, in the event of any nonpayment or threatened nonpayment by Customer hereunder, provided that dispute resolution procedures of this Agreement have been followed or none are pending on the subject matter, American may exercise any other rights
3
or remedies that it may possess, at law or in equity, to secure such payment, including, if permitted by applicable law, retaining possession of any Equipment or other property of Customer in the possession of American or filing or otherwise perfecting any mechanics' or materialmen's liens on the Equipment involved with such nonpayment.
3.04. Payments Without Set-Off. All charges for Services hereunder shall be paid by Customer to American without set-off or reduction for any amounts owed, or claimed, from American by Customer, and Customer hereby waives and disclaims any rights of offset or set-off. No payment by Customer shall be a waiver of its rights under Section 11.11. Notwithstanding any designation by Customer or rule of law to the contrary, if Customer is past due on payment of any debt, liability or obligation to American hereunder in accordance with the payment terms specified in Section 3.02, American may apply any payment received from Customer to any debt, liability or obligation of Customer to American hereunder in such manner and order as American shall elect in its sole discretion.
3.05. Taxes. In addition to the amounts otherwise payable hereunder, Customer is solely responsible for, and shall be and remain liable for and shall indemnify American against, any customs, duties or similar charges (including penalties and interest) with respect to any Equipment, including any such charges incident to any importation or exportation of Equipment, and for any taxes (including penalties and interest), including, without limitation, stamp, sales, use, property and other taxes or fees (other than taxes on or imposed with reference to the income of, or measured by the income of, American), which may be imposed or paid in connection with the execution and/or performance of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the furnishing by American of the Services. Excluded under the foregoing shall be any taxes, duties or impositions arising out of the importation of any parts normally maintained by American to support the Services hereunder and not required to be supplied by Customer under this Agreement. All payments hereunder by Customer to American shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto. If Customer shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions American receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Customer shall be entitled to contest any and all taxes for which it is liable under the foregoing, and American shall cooperate reasonably with Customer's requests with respect to any such contest. If, after payment by Customer of any taxes under the foregoing, American receives a refund thereof, American shall deliver over to Customer such refund, including any increased payment received by American associated therewith.
ARTICLE V
TERM OF THE AGREEMENT
The term of this Agreement (the "Term"), with respect to each Exhibit A, shall commence upon execution of such Exhibit A by both parties and shall, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, continue for the period specified in such Exhibit A. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be effective upon execution hereof and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, shall remain in effect for a 36 month period thereafter the date first appearing above; subject to Customer's right to extend such term for three additional 12-month periods.

ARTICLE VI
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
6.01. Performance Standards. American shall perform the Services in accordance with the specifications set forth in the applicable Exhibit A or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing. American will maintain its applicable authorization from the FAA to perform the Services under any such exhibit (FAA Part 121 Certificate No. AALA025A or Part 145 Certificate (or any substitutes therefor)) as specified therein.
6.02. Turn Time. Upon and subject to fulfillment by Customer of the conditions precedent described in Article II with respect to any Equipment, American will commence to perform the Services thereon. Subject to the foregoing sentence and to Section 6.03, American will endeavor to have such Services completed within the estimated Turn Time set forth in the applicable Exhibit A or agreed to in writing for Services not initially included in such Exhibit A. American does not, however, guarantee the Turn Times, provided that, again subject to the foregoing sentences and to Section 6.03, in the event that American fails to complete any Services within the estimated Turn Time set forth in the applicable Exhibit A, then Customer shall be entitled to receive from American liquidated damages, at the daily rate specified in the applicable Exhibit A for such Services, commencing with the *** day of delay and continuing thereafter until the Services are completed, which the parties agree is a reasonable basis for determining the losses to Customer and is not a penalty in view of the difficulty in calculating actual damages. American shall not be deemed to have failed to complete the Services on an item of Equipment within the estimated Turn Time based solely on the failure to have completed minor or inconsequential items within such time so long as when redelivered the item of Equipment is airworthy and in the condition customarily regarded in the airline industry as eligible to be placed into immediate service.
6.03. Excusable Delays. Neither party shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of Services (and no such delay shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder) if the delay is caused by forces beyond the reasonable control of such party, including, but not limited to, with respect to American's performance, delays by Customer in providing any of the items required under Section 2.01 or Customer Furnished Material or in providing any directions necessary for the performance of the Services or the disposition of parts (including approvals of Outside Services or vendors, manufacturers or suppliers) and, as to each party's performance, delays by subcontractors, part suppliers, manufacturers or suppliers (so long as the affected party has used diligent efforts to find other sources or vendors), fires, explosions, floods or other natural catastrophes, governmental acts, orders or regulations, strikes or labor difficulties (including, if affecting American's performance, strikes or labor difficulties with American's pilots, flight attendants, mechanics or other labor groups provided that American has used its reasonable efforts to eliminate the basis for such strikes or labor difficulties). The affected party shall notify the other promptly after the occurrence of any event claimed to cause an excusable delay. Further, if American determines that as a result of any excusable delay the turn time for the performance of any Services shall be delayed by more than 10 days, American shall notify Customer of such determination, whereupon Customer shall be entitled to employ third parties to perform such tasks if necessary and who may enter the premises of American to perform the same if the affected Equipment cannot reasonably be removed from American's premises, until such time as American notifies Customer in writing that American can once again perform such Services on a timely basis.
6.04. Redelivery. Each item of Equipment shall be made available for Customer to pickup or be redelivered by American to Customer F.O.B. American's Tulsa or other Maintenance Base in the same shipping container or a shipping container comparable to that in which such Equipment was received by American. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, American shall have no obligation to redeliver any item of Equipment if Customer is past due on payment of any debt, liability or obligation to American hereunder in accordance with the payment terms specified in Section 3.02.
5
6.05. Return of Records; Serviceable Parts Tag. Upon redelivery of each item of Equipment to Customer, American shall: (a) return to Customer any documents and records provided to American by Customer pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) provide to Customer a serviceable parts tag and/or other documentation as appropriate (per FAA regulations, manufacturer and appliance and component manual requirements and Customer's policies, procedures and maintenance program) for the Services provided thereon, if any.
6.06. Outside Services. From time to time American may determine that in order to overhaul or repair an item of Equipment it is necessary or appropriate to subcontract to a third party all or a portion of the Services thereon (such subcontracted services being collectively referred to herein as "Outside Services"). Customer hereby consents and agrees that American may, subject to approval by Customer (which shall be required even as to third parties that are already included on Customer's Approved Vendor List, as approved by the FAA), utilize such Outside Services in the performance of American's obligations under this Agreement. Customer's approval shall be provided within 24 hours after American's request therefor. Any Outside Services utilized in connection with the performance of the Services and which fall under the immediately foregoing sentence or are otherwise approved by Customer will be charged to Customer at American's cost plus the xxxx-up shown in the applicable Exhibit A.
6.07. Monitoring Work by Customer. Customer shall have the right to monitor work in progress and inspect each item of Equipment during the performance by American of the Services thereon and for that purpose American, with reasonable advance notice, shall permit Customer's agents or employees (in such numbers as shall be reasonably necessary for such purpose) to enter American's facilities when such Services are being performed. If requested by American, Customer, together with any agents and employees of Customer entering into American's premises in order to perform such monitoring and inspection, shall execute a waiver and release in a form acceptable to American. If reasonably deemed by Customer to be necessary during the performance of the Services to Equipment, American shall provide to Customer and Customer's on-site representatives, agents and employees a reasonably secure office space (lockable), telephone and fax lines for use, with Customer to be responsible for any long distance charges.
6.08. Change Orders. Any change to the Services identified in any Exhibit A and any overtime charges shall be authorized and approved in writing by Customer, prior to the performance of any such changes to such Services or overtime, on a form acceptable to both parties. American shall at all times be justified in relying on, and is hereby instructed by Customer to rely on, any instructions, authorizations, approvals or modifications received from any officer, director, employee or agent of Customer who has been specified in the applicable Exhibit A as the officer, director, employee, or agent of Customer who is designated to give such instructions, authorizations, approvals or modifications.
6.09. Selection of Vendor. Except for Customer Supplied Material, Customer agrees that American may, subject to Customer's consent, determine whether and from which vendor, manufacturer or supplier to acquire or purchase any parts to be utilized in connection with the performance of any Services. Such consent shall be required whether or not such vendor, manufacturer or supplier is already included on the Customer's Approved Vendor List and shall be provided by Customer within 24 hours after American's request therefor.
6.10. Not a "Consumer Transaction". American and Customer acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not evidence a "consumer transaction" within the meaning of the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act, 15 Okla. Stat. § 751, et seq.
6.11. Customer Supplied Material. Customer shall provide as Customer Supplied Material all parts and material that are not common to American's aircraft or engines. Customer hereby represents and warrants that all Customer Supplied Material will meet all applicable FAA Regulations and appropriate records as to serviceability and repair. Customer acknowledges that American makes no warranties with
6
respect to such Customer Supplied Material and assumes no additional liability due to American's use thereof.
7.01. Limited Warranty. Subject to the limitations and conditions of this Article VII, American warrants that the Services performed hereunder will be free from Defects (the "American Warranty"). A "Defect" shall mean a failure of American's workmanship on an item of Equipment to conform to the relevant specifications mutually agreed upon by the parties as set forth in Exhibit A.
7.02. Limitations on Warranties.
(a) Third Party Items; Assignment of Warranties. The warranties set forth in Section 7.01 shall not apply to, and Customer hereby acknowledges that American makes no warranties with respect to, any parts, the Equipment itself or its constituent parts or the maintenance (other than by American hereunder), design, airworthiness, construction or operation of any of the foregoing. If any parts are covered by any warranty made by the manufacturer or supplier of such parts, American hereby assigns (to the extent legally possible) to Customer all of American's right, title and interest, if any, to such warranties. To the extent not so possible, at Customer's request American agrees to submit and pursue warranty claims on Customer's behalf.
(b) General Limitation. The exercise by Customer of any remedies for breach of the warranties set forth in Section 7.01, and American's obligations and liabilities under this Article VII, are expressly subject to the following conditions precedent:
(i) a Defect having become apparent within the warranty period agreed upon by the parties as set forth in the applicable Exhibit A (the "Warranty Period");
(ii) the submission by Customer of a claim within thirty (30) days of the claimed Defect having become apparent along with proof reasonably satisfactory to American that the claimed Defect is due to a matter covered by Section 7.01 and that the Defect did not result from any act or omission of the operator of the affected Equipment including, but not limited to, any failure to properly operate or maintain such Equipment; and
(iii) the return by Customer of the Equipment claimed to contain a Defect to American's Tulsa or other Maintenance Base within forty-five (45) days after the claimed Defect becomes apparent, except in the event American elects to reimburse Customer for its costs to repair in accordance with Section 7.03.
7.03. Determination of No Defect.
(a) In the event that American shall conclude, after investigation of a claimed Defect with respect to an item of Equipment, that no Defect exists, and Customer does not timely invoke the third party vendor binding arbitration set forth below (or does timely invoke such arbitration but the Warranty Arbitrator decides in favor of American), Customer shall, upon demand, promptly reimburse American for American's expenses incurred in the transportation, teardown, investigation, reassembly and test of the item of Equipment in question, all at American's standard labor and material rates for Services on such item of Equipment as specified in the applicable Exhibit Aand as certified by American in writing. In the event American authorizes Customer to perform repairs in accordance with Section 7.04, American shall have the right to have an authorized representative present at all times during such repair, and Customer shall provide American with copies of all reports, data and information that are obtained, assimilated and/or prepared as a result of the repair.
7
(b) Subject to the third party vendor binding arbitration set forth below, if at the conclusion of an authorized repair of an item of Equipment by Customer, American concludes that no Defect existed prior to such authorized repair, (i) American shall have no liability or obligation to Customer with respect to the item of Equipment, including without limitation, any liability for the costs incurred in the repair of such item of Equipment in question, and (ii) Customer shall reimburse American, upon demand, for all expenses incurred by American (as certified by American in writing) in having such representative present during the performance by Customer of such repairs.
(c) Under the foregoing process, American shall act reasonably in evaluating claimed Defects. If, under the foregoing procedure, Customer disagrees with the determination of no Defect by American, Customer shall have the right (within 15 days after being notified of such determination) to refer such disagreement to a disinterested third (3rd) party vendor/repair station, selected under the procedure described below (the "Warranty Arbitrator"), who will receive information from both Customer and American as to the dispute and resolve the dispute (and issue a decision) within 30 calendar days after American is notified by Customer of the dispute and request for arbitration (the "Arbitration Request"). The decision of the Warranty Arbitrator shall be final and binding on Customer and American. The costs of the Warranty Arbitrator shall be borne by the parties equally, regardless of outcome of the arbitration. If Customer and American cannot agree on the Warranty Arbitrator within five (5) calendar days after the date of the Arbitration Request, the Warranty Arbitrator shall be selected by two (2) third (3rd) party vendor/repair stations (one (1) selected by American and the other by Customer) duly qualified in maintenance, repair, inspection and overhaul of the item in issue. If necessary, the selection of the two (2) vendor/repair stations by American and Customer shall be completed within ten (10) calendar days after the date of the Arbitration Request, and the Warranty Arbitrator shall be selected no later than 15 calendar days after the date of the Arbitration Request. In no event shall the Warranty Arbitrator have fewer than 15 calendar days to consider the dispute and submit its decision.
7.04. Exclusive Remedy of Customer. Upon a finding of a Defect (whether by American's evaluation or by the Warranty Arbitrator), Customer's sole and exclusive remedy and American's sole and exclusive obligation and liability under Section 7.01 are limited to, at American's expense and option, either (a) the reservicing, repairing or replacing of the Equipment containing the Defect, together with the payment by American of any reasonable expenses actually incurred by Customer in the removal of such Equipment from an aircraft, shipment of such removed Equipment to American, return of such Equipment to Customer and reinstallation of such Equipment in an aircraft, or (b) the refund to Customer of amounts actually paid for the Services that are the subject of the warranty claim.

Subject to Section 7.03 above, in the event American, in its sole discretion, gives its prior written approval of any such Customer repairs, Customer may remove, repair and reinstall, or cause to be removed, repaired and reinstalled, any Equipment containing a Defect, and the costs thereof, together with the costs of the parts consumed during such activity (as certified by Customer in writing), will be paid by American to Customer; provided that (c) the man-hours expended and the parts consumed by Customer do not exceed American's reasonable estimate therefor (based on U.S. Airline Industry Standards), and (d) the man-hours required for maintenance work being carried out concurrently on such Equipment or its constituent parts shall not be included.
