15
CFM PROPRIETARY INFORMATION – SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON THE FIRST PAGE
Reconciliation
a. | If a removed Engine has not undergone a Qualified Shop Visit for Covered Services, CFM shall receive an amount equivalent to [***] of the sum of the Popular Rate payments plus [***] for the Covered Services accrued for such Engine by multiplying the Restored Rate by the EFH incurred by the Engine since the Commencement Date, or since the date that such Engine entered the Service Agreement, whichever occurred last (the “Reconciliation Amount”). CFM will compare this Reconciliation Amount to the Popular Rate payments received for Covered Services, and will either credit or invoice Customer with the difference between such payments and the Reconciliation Amount whenever Popular payments received are higher or lower than the Reconciliation Amount. In case of CFM invoice for such difference, Customer will pay such invoice within [***]. CFM will retain any amounts paid for any Services other than Covered Services. |
b. | If a removed Engine has undergone at least one Qualified Shop Visit for Covered Services, CFM will calculate the total cumulative charges for all Covered Services, provided for such removed Engine as if such Services were provided on a Supplemental Services basis and the Supplemental Services pricing had applied (“Supplemental Charges”). CFM will then compare such Supplemental Charges to the total cumulative Covered Services payments received from the Customer for such removed Engine, less [***]. If the Supplemental Charges are greater than the total cumulative Covered Services payments received from the Customer, less [***], CFM will invoice Customer for the difference. Customer will pay such invoice within [***] of receipt. |
Adjustment of Rate Per Flight Hour Pricing. CFM will evaluate the effect of any Engine’s removal on the Rate Per Flight Hour pricing taking into consideration effects on the fleet size, age and condition of the Engines and may adjust the Rate Per Flight Hour pricing accordingly upon mutual agreement. Any adjusted Rate Per Flight Hour pricing will be incorporated into the Service Agreement by way of amendment and Customer will pay the adjusted Rate Per Flight Hour pricing for all EFH incurred by all Engines that remain covered by the Service Agreement from the date of the Engine removal.
In the event that the Parties do not agree on the adjusted Rate Per Flight Hour pricing within [***], CFM may terminate this Service Agreement upon written notice to Customer.
Maximum Removals. If the number of Engines decreases to less than [***] of the number of Engines, as identified in Exhibit B, at the time of any Engine removal, CFM may terminate this Service Agreement upon written notice to Customer.
12.3 | EFH Minimum |
The monthly average EFH minimum is the EFH yearly average lowest point on the Price Adjustment Matrix divided by [***] as provided in Exhibit D. CFM will compare the actual fleet average EFH during each calendar quarter with the monthly minimum multiplied by [***]. If the reported actual EFH is less than the EFH minimum, CFM will issue an invoice and Customer will pay CFM the difference multiplied by the applicable adjusted and escalated Popular Rate per EFH. At the time of a Qualified Shop Visit, an Engine removal, or upon termination of this Service Agreement, if an Engine has not undergone a Qualified Shop Visit, CFM will compare the actual total EFH reported for such Engine since new or since the last Qualified Shop Visit with the required minimum EFH. If the reported actual EFH is less than the EFH minimum, CFM will issue an invoice and Customer will pay CFM the difference multiplied by the applicable adjusted and escalated Popular Rate per EFH.

CFM PROPRIETARY INFORMATION – SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON THE FIRST PAGE
ARTICLE 1 – LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
A. | Total Liability. The total liability of CFM for any and all claims, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence but excluding willful misconduct), product liability, patent infringement or otherwise, for any damages arising out of, connected with or resulting from the Service Agreement or the performance or non-performance of any Service or from the manufacture, sale, Redelivery, resale, repair, overhaul, replacement or use of the Engine or any item or part thereof, will not exceed [***]. [***] |
In no event will CFM have any liability hereunder, whether as a result of breach of contract, warranty, tort (including negligence but excluding willful misconduct), product liability, patent liability, or otherwise, for [***]
Consequently, Customer and its insurers waive any recourse against CFM and its insurers for any loss or damage beyond that limit and shall indemnify CFM and hold CFM harmless from any and all liabilities, damages, penalties and expenses arising out of any claim by any person other than CFM beyond such limits.
In the event Customer uses non-CFM parts or non-CFM approved LRU’s, parts or repairs in an Engine and such LRU’s, parts or repairs cause personal injury, death or property damage to third parties, Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless CFM from all claims and liabilities associated therewith. The preceding indemnity shall apply whether or not CFM was provided a right under this Service Agreement to remove such LRU’s, parts or repairs, and irrespective of the exercise by CFM of such right.
B. | Definition. For the purpose of this Article 1, the term “CFM” is deemed to include CFM and its parent and affiliated companies, the subcontractors and suppliers of any Services furnished hereunder, and the directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of each. |
ARTICLE 2 – TERMINATION
A. | Termination Events. The Service Agreement may be terminated as follows: |
• | Late Payment. In the event that Customer fails to make payments to CFM within the time periods specified herein, CFM may terminate all or any portion of this Service Agreement upon [***] written notice to Customer, unless Customer cures such failure within such period following receipt of this notice. |
• | Insolvency. Either Party may terminate or suspend performance of all or any portion of this Service Agreement if the other Party: (A) makes any agreement with creditors due to its inability to make timely payments of its debts; (B) enters into bankruptcy or liquidation, whether compulsory or voluntary; (C) becomes insolvent; or (D) becomes subject to the appointment of a receiver of the whole or material part of its assets. If such termination should occur, Customer will not be relieved of its payment obligation for Services provided hereunder. |
• | Material Breach. Either Party may terminate this Service Agreement upon [***] written notice to the other for failure to comply with any material provision of this Service Agreement unless the failure has been cured or the Party in breach has substantially effected all acts required to cure the failure prior to such [***] (except for late payment, as described in Paragraph A.1 above). |
42
CFM PROPRIETARY INFORMATION – SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON THE FIRST PAGE
• | Maximum Removals. If at any time during the Term of this Service Agreement, the number of Engines decreases to less than [***] of the number of Engines listed in Exhibit B, CFM may terminate this Service Agreement immediately upon written notice to Customer. |
B. | Activity After Termination. In the event the Service Agreement is terminated, the following shall cumulatively apply, in addition to any other right or remedy allowable under this Service Agreement or applicable law: |
• | Payment for Services Performed. In the event of termination of this Service Agreement for any reason, Customer will pay CFM for all Services or work performed by or caused to be performed by CFM up to the time of such termination under the applicable terms and prices of this Service Agreement including all costs, fees, and charges incurred by CFM in providing support and material under this Service Agreement, including Lease engines. |
• | Reconciliation. In addition to the above, the terms of the reconciliation under the removal of Engines provisions of Article 12 of the Service Agreement will apply. |
• | Work in Process, Redelivery of Customer’s Engines. Upon the termination or expiration of this Service Agreement, CFM will complete all work in process in a diligent manner and Redeliver all Engines, parts and related documentation, provided that Customer (a) has paid in full all charges for all such Services and material, plus all costs, fees and penalties, incurred by CFM in providing support, including any Lease engines, and (b) has returned all Lease engines provided under this Service Agreement. |
• | Other Agreements. Customer’s material breach of this Service Agreement, if not cured hereunder, will, at CFM’s option, be a material breach of all other agreements and contracts between Customer and CFM. In such an event, CFM may: (A) suspend performance under any or all of the other agreements and contracts until a reasonable time after all defaults have been cured; (B) terminate this Service Agreement and any or all other such agreements and contracts; and/or (C) pursue any other remedy with respect to this Service Agreement or the other agreements and contracts which the law permits. |
ARTICLE 3 – TAXES
A. | Taxes, Duties, or Charges. In addition to the price for the Services, Customer agrees to pay, upon demand, all taxes (including, without limitation, sales, use, excise, turnover or value added taxes), duties, fees, charges or assessments of any nature (but excluding any income taxes) (hereinafter “Taxes”) assessed or levied in connection with performance of this Service Agreement. |
B. | Reimbursement/Refund. If payment of any such Taxes is made by CFM (or the applicable affiliated company), Customer will reimburse CFM (or the applicable affiliated company) upon demand, such reimbursement including, inter alia, penalties and interests which could have been levied against CFM (or the applicable affiliated company). Customer will use all reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof. If all or any part of any such taxes is refunded to CFM, CFM (or the applicable affiliated company) will repay to Customer such part thereof as CFM (or the applicable affiliated company) was refunded. |
C. | Withholdings. All payments by Customer to CFM (or the applicable affiliated company) under this Service Agreement will be free of all withholdings of any nature whatsoever except to the extent otherwise required by law, and if any such withholding is so required, Customer will pay an additional amount such that after the deduction of all amounts required to be withheld, the net amount received |
43
CFM PROPRIETARY INFORMATION – SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON THE FIRST PAGE
by CFM (or the applicable affiliated company) will equal the amount that CFM (or the applicable affiliated company) would have received if such withholding had not been required. If the aforementioned mechanism contradicts the law of the United States, the Parties shall amend this Service Agreement in order to increase the respective prices and amounts provided for by this Service Agreement so that the initial prices and amounts are preserved.
ARTICLE 4 – EXCUSABLE DELAY
A. | Excusable Delay. Either Party will be excused from, and will not be liable for, any delay in performance or failure to perform hereunder (except for the obligation to pay money or credit or debit an account which will not be excused hereunder), and will not be deemed to be in default for any delay in or failure of performance hereunder due to causes beyond its reasonable control. Such causes will be conclusively deemed to include, but not be limited to acts of God, fire, terrorism, war (declared or undeclared), severe weather conditions, earthquakes, epidemics, material shortages, insurrection, acts or omissions of the other Party, any act or omission by any governmental authority, strikes, labor disputes, acts or threats of vandalism or terrorism (including disruption of technology resources), or transportation shortages (each an “Excusable Delay”). The time of performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of delay, including time to overcome the effect of the delay. |
B. | Continuing Obligations. Article 4.A will not, however, relieve either Party from using its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of delay and continue performance with reasonable dispatch when such causes are removed. During the period of an excusable delay, CFM will have the right to invoice Customer for Services performed. |
C. | Extended Delay Termination. If delay resulting from any of the foregoing causes extends for more than [***] and the Parties have not agreed upon a revised basis for continuing the Services, including any adjustment of the price, then either Party, upon [***] written notice to the other, may terminate the purchase order that covers the delayed Services. |
ARTICLE 5 – PATENTS
A. | Claims. CFM shall handle all claims and defend any suit or proceeding brought against Customer insofar as based on a claim that, without further combination, any material or process used in the repair of any items furnished under this Service Agreement constitutes an infringement of any patent or copyright of France and/or of the United States. This paragraph shall apply only to the extent that such material or process is so used to CFM’s specification. |
B. | Liability. CFM’s liability hereunder is expressly conditioned upon Customer promptly notifying CFM in writing and giving CFM exclusive authority, information and assistance (at CFM’s expense) for the handling, defense or settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding. In case such material or process is held in such claim, suit or proceeding to constitute infringement and the use of said material or process is enjoined, CFM shall, at its own expense and at its option either (1) settle or defend such claim or suit or proceeding arising therefrom, or (2) procure for Customer the right to continue using said material or process in the item repaired under the Service Agreement, or (3) replace same with an item satisfactory and incorporating non-infringing material or process, or (4) modify same so it becomes satisfactory and non-infringing, or (5) refund the repair price applicable to such material or process. CFM shall not be responsible to Customer or to any third party, 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 5. |
C. | Indemnification. The preceding paragraph B shall not apply: (1) to any material or process or part thereof of Customer design or specification, or used at Customer’s direction in any repair under the |
44

Customer consents to the filing of financing statements, mechanic’s liens, and similar instruments necessary to perfect CFM’s security interests as required by the UCC, Federal Aviation Administration, and applicable law. Customer will |
46
CFM PROPRIETARY INFORMATION – SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON THE FIRST PAGE
also exert commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the owner or mortgagee thereof the grant to CFM or the consent to the grant to CFM, as the case may be, of a security interest, which security interest will be subordinate to prior interests granted by Customer to third parties, in any other property in the possession of CFM or any of CFM’s parents or affiliates at any time (including Customer’s beneficial rights to property leased by Customer to CFM), to secure all amounts owed by Customer to CFM hereunder, and CFM will have all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and applicable law with respect to such property. Customer will promptly execute and deliver all documentation, as reasonably requested by CFM, to effect such security rights and any other statutory or common law lien rights under applicable law. Customer shall not grant any security interests or liens in Engines that are junior to those of CFM without CFM’s prior written consent.
B. | Other Liens. Customer: (i) acknowledges that CFM has the legal right to assert mechanic’s liens or other statutory or common law liens under applicable law (foreign or domestic) against Engines following performance of Services under this Service Agreement or all other agreements and contracts between CFM and Customer, and (ii) grants to CFM a right of retention on all Engines or Parts owned or leased by Customer in the possession of CFM or any of CFM’s parents or affiliates to secure all amounts owed by Customer to CFM under this Service Agreement or any other related agreement between CFM and Customer. The Parties agree that CFM can assert its right of retention notwithstanding that the Services performed on the particular Engine(s) or Part(s) to be retained have been paid by Customer. CFM will have the rights of a creditor who may avail himself a right of retention under the applicable law and (iii) agrees to supply such information, including name and address of the owner of each Engine, as reasonably requested by CFM to facilitate filing of such liens in New York or any other jurisdiction where Services may be performed. With respect to Engines leased by Customer to CFM, CFM understands that Customer has been authorized and required by the owners to cause Services to be performed. CFM may, at its option, notify the owners of the existence of this Service Agreement and CFM’s lien rights and right of retention arising from performance of Services. |
C. | Enforcement. If Customer fails to tender any payment owing under this Service Agreement and CFM initiates foreclosure with respect to any Engine, whether pursuant to a security interest granted under this Service Agreement or a mechanic’s lien, then Customer agrees to supply to CFM all records, log books and other documentation pertaining to the maintenance condition of the Engine, and a certificate either (i) certifying that the Engine has not been involved in any Aircraft Accident or Incident or (ii) specifying the date and facts surrounding any Accident or Incident in which the Engine has been involved and the nature and extent of the damage sustained (such records, log books, certificate and other documentation referred to hereinafter as the “Engine Documents”). The Parties recognize that the failure by Customer to deliver the Engine Documents may have a material, adverse effect on the value of any Engine with respect to which foreclosure has been initiated by CFM and the ability of CFM to sell or lease the Engine, and that the damages CFM may sustain as a result are not readily calculable. |
ARTICLE 11 – APPLICABLE LAW – DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A. | Applicable Law. This Service Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and applied, and the legal relations between the Parties determined, in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (U.S.A. / INC.).

Dispute Resolution. If any dispute arises relating to this Service Agreement, the Parties will endeavor to resolve the dispute amicably, including by designating senior managers who will meet and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute.
