1. Defined Terms.
Terms
that are not defined in the sections that follow have the meanings specified on
the first page of this Agreement.
2. BUYER Standard
Specifications.
BUYER
must specify all standard options and modifications, including modifications to
the exterior finishing, interior furnishings and avionics of the P-180
Avanti II aircraft being sold pursuant to this Agreement (the “Aircraft”)
by submitting its request no later than nine months before the Scheduled
Delivery Date (the “Options Closing Date”). Any such standard
specifications will result in purchase price adjustment in accordance with
SELLER’S Optional Equipment Price List specified in Exhibit A (the
“Optional Equipment Price List”) valid at the Options Closing Date.
All such
price adjustments will be included in the Balance Due on
Delivery. SELLER shall be entitled to, and BUYER agrees to pay, the
amount of $[***] for each
day of delay thereafter in providing those standard
specifications. In addition, in the event such delay exceeds thirty
(30) days, SELLER shall have the right to reposition the Aircraft in its
production cycle and adjust the Scheduled Delivery Date accordingly, and/or to
make choices on BUYER’s behalf with respect to such optional equipment and
modifications, in each case in its sole discretion upon written notice to
BUYER.
3. Non-Standard
Specifications.
In
addition to the standard specifications, BUYER may request additional
non-standard optional equipment or modifications, from the Optional Equipment
List identified in Exhibit A hereto (the “Optional Equipment List”) or
otherwise. BUYER must submit its final order for all such requests by
the Options Closing Date. If the installation of BUYER’S Options
would increase the time required to complete the Aircraft, the Scheduled
Delivery Date will be adjusted accordingly.
For
non-standard specifications that are on the Optional Equipment List, there will
be a purchase price adjustment in the amount specified on the Optional Equipment
Price List on the Options Closing Date. For any other non-standard
specifications, SELLER will provide BUYER an estimate of the additional cost and
there will be a purchase price adjustment in this estimated amount.
SELLER
agrees to fulfill all requests for non-standard specifications that are on the
Optional Equipment List and that are submitted by the Options Closing
Date. For all other requests, SELLER will use commercially reasonable
efforts to fulfill such request in a reasonably timely way, subject to time,
availability and effect on certification, but SELLER does not guarantee
fulfillment of such requests by the Scheduled Delivery Date or at
all.

Avanti II Sales Price
Contractual
Price Escalation Formula
The price
of the Aircraft shall be $[***], expressed in January
0000, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx dollars (“The Reference Price”), escalated to the estimated
date of final delivery of the Aircraft (“The Escalated Price”), by an index
determined through the analysis of prices of “competitive
aircraft”. The “competitive aircraft” are determined by an objective
analysis of list price, zero fuel weight, passenger load, and
range. The following steps are taken in order to determine the
escalation factor:
|
1.
|
Each
aircraft determined to be competitive is weighted according to unit sales
volume so that the total equals the total universe or
1.
|
|
2.
|
The
year-to-year change in list price for each aircraft (as published in the
Business and Commercial Aviation Annual Purchase Planning Handbook) is
then multiplied by the weighting
factor.
|
|
3.
|
The
price escalation factor is determined by the sum of the two preceding
steps.
|
The
Escalated Price shall be equal to the Reference Price, multiplied by an
escalation factor as calculated in (a), (b) and (c) below:

On an
annual basis, due to unforeseen and changing market conditions, either the BUYER
or the SELLER may request that the list of “competitive aircraft” be reviewed
and amended to reflect current market conditions. Should the parties
be unable to agree on the competitive aircraft to be included in the
calculations, the list of competitive aircraft will include all competitive
aircraft that meet the following criteria:
|
1)
|
Zero
Fuel Weight between 9,500 pounds and 13,000
pounds.
|
|
2)
|
Must
have a minimum of 7 certified passenger seats and 2 crew
seats.
|
|
3)
|
Must
have a list price within $2,000,000 of the previous years list price of
the Avanti II as listed in Business & Commercial
Aviation.
|
|
4)
|
Must
have a published ferry range of between 1,350 nm and 2,000
nm.
|
|
5)
|
A
sales volume for that year of at least 10
aircraft.
|
Solely as
an example of how to conduct the calculations contemplated in this provision,
with the Reference Price set at January 2006 ($[***]), and the calendar month
prior to delivery being March 2008, using the yearly escalation index of years
2004 and 2005 (as a substitute for years 2007 and 2008) reported in section c
above as the sample Escalation Index, the Escalated Price would be calculated as
follows:
