LETTER AGREEMENT NO. 3
TO GTA No. 1-0000000000
July 26, 2016
WHEREAS, CFM International, Inc. (hereinafter individually referred to as “CFM”) and Allegiant Air, LLC (herein, if referred to separately, “Allegiant”) and Sunrise Asset Management, LLC (herein, if referred to separately, “XXX”) (together or separately (and notwithstanding that XXX is not an “airline”, per se) hereinafter referred to as “Airline”) (CFM and Airline being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties”) have entered into General Terms Agreement 1-0000000000 (hereinafter referred to as “GTA”); and
WHEREAS, the GTA contains the applicable terms and conditions governing the sale by CFM and the purchase by Airline of spare engine(s), related equipment and spare parts therefor in support of Airline’s CFM powered fleet of aircraft, including those acquired from Airbus S.A.S (“Airbus”) (or “Airframer”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:
1. | Allegiant has agreed to acquire and take delivery of (12) new firm CFM56-5B4 (“Engine”) powered A320CEO aircraft (together the “Aircraft”) direct from Airframer in accordance with the delivery dates set forth in Attachment A hereto, as the same may be modified, with notice to CFM, consistent with the terms of the Aircraft Sale Agreement (the “Aircraft Delivery Schedule”) pursuant to a sale |
Allegiant 5B GTA No. 1-0000000000 CFM Proprietary Information Page 1 of 15
and purchase agreement executed on or about the date hereof between Allegiant and Airframer (the “Aircraft Sale Agreement”). The Engines installed in the Aircraft are hereinafter referred to as “Installed Engines’. It is planned that XXX will make the purchase and lease the Aircraft to Allegiant.
“Continued Production” means that at any relevant time, aircraft of the same make and model as the Aircraft and having the same make and model as the Engines remain in production (including aircraft manufactured but not delivered) by both Airframer and CFM.
2. | Provided that Airline takes delivery of at least […***…] of the Aircraft, Airline agrees to purchase and take delivery of […***…] CFM56-5B4 spare Engine (“Spare Engine”) from CFM according to the Spare Engine delivery schedule set forth in Attachment A hereto, as may be modified only by the mutual agreement of CFM and Airline (the “Spare Engine Delivery Schedule”). If, at any time, Airline does not take delivery of at least […***…] of the Aircraft due solely to acts, or failure to act, of CFM, or due to reasons beyond the control of Airline, Airline shall have the right to terminate its obligations with respect to the purchase of the Spare Engine hereunder and any deposit or “Security” provided to CFM for the Spare Engine shall be promptly refunded to Airline, on demand and thereafter, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations with respect to the sale and purchase of the Spare Engine hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Airline acquires the Spare Engine prior to delivery of any Aircraft, this provision will be void and have no further force or effect. |
3. The reference price for Installed Engine shipsets (“Installed Engine Shipset Reference Price”), as and when delivered under the Aircraft Delivery Schedule, shall be […***…] (Jan. 2016 USD. CPI = 216.64) for CFM56-5B4 Engines. This Reference price will be the basis for the calculation of the Escalation Cap allowance described herein.
In consideration of the above, CFM agrees to the following:
A. Special Allowances
CFM agrees to provide the following allowances to Airline subject to the conditions set forth in Attachment B hereto:
(i) | Aircraft Allowance |
For each of the Aircraft referenced and delivered to Airline under the Aircraft Delivery Schedule, CFM will provide Airline with a per-Aircraft allowance of […***…].
Allegiant 5B GTA No. 1-0000000000 CFM Proprietary Information Page 2 of 15
Such per Aircraft Allowance is stated in January 2016 US Dollars (CPI=216.64), and shall be adjusted for escalation to the date of delivery of each Aircraft to Airline in accordance with the escalation formula set forth in Attachment D hereto. If due to fault or negligence of Airline, there is a delay in delivery of Aircraft, such escalation shall stop at the original (scheduled delivery date in effect at the time of delay due to fault or negligence of Airline) scheduled delivery date of the Aircraft.
Each per Aircraft Allowance will be earned by Airline upon delivery of each shipset of Installed Engines to Airframer, and paid as follows:
If paid to Airline
Each per Aircraft Allowance will be made available and paid to Airline within (3) business days following receipt of written notice from Airline that it has taken delivery of each Aircraft.
If paid to Airframer
If requested in writing by Airline at least 30 days prior to scheduled Aircraft delivery date, CFM will pay the Aircraft Allowance directly to the Airframer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CFM will not initiate the actual payment of the Aircraft Allowance to the Airframer until it receives further written direction by Airline at the time Airline takes delivery of each Aircraft.
Airline will keep CFM informed of any Aircraft delivery date changes. For the avoidance of doubt, CFM agrees it shall not provide the Aircraft Allowance to the Airframer without the Airline’s further written direction under the foregoing and Airline agrees that it shall not issue such further written direction earlier than the date of Aircraft delivery to Airline. If, after such further written direction from Airline, CFM actually provides the Aircraft Allowance to the Airframer and the actual delivery date is delayed (not due to acts or failure to act by CFM) more than 2 days from the date CFM provides such allowance, Airline will pay to CFM interest on such amount, calculated from the date of payment to the Airframer to the date of actual Aircraft delivery.

CFM ESCALATION FORMULA
I. | The base price for Products purchased hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit. |
II. | For the purpose of this adjustment: |
A. | Base price shall be the price(s) set forth in the applicable Letter Agreement. |
B. | The Composite Price Index (CPI) shall be calculated, to the second decimal place, using the following formula: |
[…***…]
[…***…] | […***…] |
[…***…]
C. | Each CPI shall be determined to the second decimal place. Calculation shall be to the third decimal digit and if the third decimal digit is five or more, the second decimal digit shall be raised to the next higher figure. If the third decimal digit is less than five, the second decimal figure shall remain as calculated. |
C. | The Base Composite Index (CPIb) shall be the base index stated in the published prices. |
III. | Base prices shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: |
[…***…]
IV. | The invoice price shall be the final price and will not be subject to further adjustments in the indices. In no event shall the invoice price be lower than the base price. |
Allegiant 5B GTA No. 1-0000000000 CFM Proprietary Information Page 12 of 15
IV. | The ratio […***…] shall be calculated to the fourth decimal digit. If the fourth decimal digit is five or more, the third decimal digit shall be raised to the next higher figure, and if the fourth decimal digit is less than five, the third decimal figure shall remain as calculated. If the calculation of this ratio results in a number less than 1.000, the ratio will be adjusted to 1.000. The resulting three digit decimal shall be used to calculate Pn. |
V. | Values to be utilized in the event of unavailability. If at the time of delivery of Product, CFM is unable to determine the adjusted price because the applicable values to be used to determine the […***…] have not been released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, then: |
a) The Price Adjustment, to be used at the time of delivery of the Product, will be determined by utilizing the escalation provisions set forth above. The values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available 30 days prior to scheduled Product delivery month will be used to determine the […***…] values for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Product Price Adjustment. If no value have been released for an applicable month, the provisions set forth in Paragraph b, below, will apply. If prior to delivery of a Product, the U.S. Department of Labor changes the base year for determination of the […***…] values as defined above, such rebase values will be incorporated in the Price Adjustment calculation.
b) If prior to delivery of a Product, U.S. Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the […***…] 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 Price Adjustment, CFM will, and without discrimination to Airline, and prior to delivery of any such Product, select a substitute for such values from data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or other similar data reported by non-governmental United States organizations, such substitute to lead in application to the same adjustment result insofar as possible, as would have been achieved by continuing the use of the original values as they may have fluctuated during the applicable time period. Appropriate revisions of the formula will be made as required to reflect any substitute values. However, if within 24 months from delivery of the Product, the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume releasing values for the months needed to determine the Product Price Adjustment, such values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in the Product Price Adjustment from that determined at the time of delivery of such Product.
c) In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency of the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the base price of any affected Product to reflect an allowance for increase or decrease in labor compensation and material costs occurring since February of the Base Price year (2016) which is consistent with the applicable provisions of this Price Escalation formula.
d) For the calculation herein, the values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to CFM at the end of the month prior to scheduled Product delivery month will be used to determine the […***…] values for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Product Price Adjustment for the Product invoice at the time of delivery. The values will be
Allegiant 5B GTA No. 1-0000000000 CFM Proprietary Information Page 13 of 15
considered final and no Product Price Adjustment will be made after Product delivery for any subsequent changes in published index values.
Note: Any rounding of a number, with respect to escalation of the Product Price, will be accomplished as follows: If the first digit of the portion to be dropped from the number is five or greater, the preceding digit will be raised to the next higher number.
