12.1.1 Nature of the Guarantee

Subject to the limitations and conditions as hereinafter provided, and except as provided in Article 12.1.2, the Seller warrants to the Buyer that each Aircraft and all Warranted Parts will at the time of Delivery to the Buyer:

(i) be free from material defects;

(ii) be free from defects in workmanship, including manufacturing processes;

(iii) be free from design defects (including the selection of materials) with regard to the state of the art at the time of the design;

(iv) be free from defects arising from failure to conform to the Technical Specification, except those clauses of the Technical Specification where it is expressly stated that they are estimates, approximations or design objectives.

12.3 Supplier Product Support Agreement

Prior to the Delivery of the first Aircraft under this Agreement, the Seller will obtain the warranties given in the Supplier Product Support Agreement.

12.3.1 Definitions

12.3.1.1 “Supplier” means any supplier of Supplier Parts.

12.3.1.2 “Supplier Part” means any component, equipment, accessory or part installed in an Aircraft at the time of Delivery thereof for which there exists a Supplier Product Support Agreement. However, the Propulsion System, and Buyer Furnished Equipment and other equipment which the Buyer has asked to be installed and for which the Seller has no existing warranty agreement will not be regarded as Supplier Parts.

12.3.1.3 “Supplier Product Support Agreement” means an agreement drawn up between the Seller and a Supplier containing warranties which are transferable to the Buyer, and in the case of Suppliers of landing gear and the cowling/thrusts assembly, a current and transferable Service Life Insurance for the designated structural parts of the landing gear.

12.3.2 The Seller will ensure that the Suppliers offer MTBUR (Mean Time Between Unscheduled Removals) and DMC (Direct Maintenance Costs) guarantees which are transferable to the Buyer.

The Seller will encourage the Suppliers to improve these guarantees and to observe their application for Supplier parts.

12.3.3 Supplier’s Default

12.3.3.1 If, under a standard warranty, MTBUR guarantee or Service Life Insurance obtained by the Seller under the After-Sale Clauses of the General Conditions for the Procurement of Equipment, a Supplier fails to fulfil its obligations in respect of a material, workmanship or design defect in any accessory, equipment or part (other than the Engines, Cowlings, Accessories and Additional Engine Equipment) assembled on an Aircraft at the time of delivery, and provided that the Buyer furnishes the Seller with proof that such defect has appeared, the standard warranty and the MTBUR Guarantee or the Service Life Insurance, as applicable, set forth in Sections 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3.2 of the Agreement, will apply to the defect in question in the same way as if the accessory, equipment or part had been manufactured according to the detailed plans and/or the Specifications of the Seller, except with regard to the duration of the warranty, which will be the Supplier’s warranty period indicated in the Suppliers Product Support Agreement.

At the Seller’s request, the Buyer will transfer all the rights to repair such defect arising from the above default to the Seller, which will then be subrogated towards the Supplier.

12.3.3.2 Engines, Accessories and Additional Engine Equipment, together with Buyer Furnished Equipment and any accessory, equipment or part chosen by the Buyer coming from Suppliers with which the Seller has not drawn up agreements in relation to the warranties, will be excluded from this Article 12.3.3.

12.4 Interface Commitment

12.4.1 Interface Problem

If the Buyer experiences any technical problem in the operation of an Aircraft or its systems due to a malfunction, the cause of which, after sufficient and reasonable investigation, is not readily identifiable by the Buyer, but which the Buyer reasonably believes may be attributable to the design characteristics of one or more components of the Aircraft (“Interface Problem”), the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer, and without additional charge to the Buyer except for transportation of the Seller’s personnel to the Buyer’s facilities, promptly conduct or have conducted an investigation and analysis of such problem to determine, if possible, the cause or causes of the problem and to recommend the corrective actions to be undertaken. The Buyer will furnish the Seller with all data and information in its possession relevant to the Interface Problem, and will cooperate with the Seller in carrying out its investigations and tests as may be required.

At the conclusion of such investigation, the Seller will promptly advise the Buyer in writing of its findings as to the cause or causes of the Interface Problem and its recommendations as to the corrective actions to be undertaken.

12.4.2 Seller’s Responsibility

If the Seller observes that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of a Warranted Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer and pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article 12.1, correct the design of such Warranted Part to the extent of the Seller’s obligations as defined in Article 12.1.

12.4.3 Supplier’s Responsibility

If the Seller observes that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of any Supplier Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer, reasonably assist the Buyer in drawing up any warranty claim the Buyer may make against the Supplier of the above Supplier Part.

The Seller will in addition take the actions authorised by its contract with the Supplier to investigate the correction of the Interface Problem which is acceptable to the Buyer.

12.4.4 Joint Responsibility

If the Seller observes that the Interface Problem is attributable partially to the design of a Warranted Part and partially to the design of a Supplier Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer, seek a solution to the Interface Problem through the cooperative efforts of the Seller and the Supplier concerned.

The Seller will promptly advise the Buyer of the corrective action recommended by the Seller and by the Supplier. Such proposal must be consistent with any existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of the Supplier in question with respect to the Buyer. Such corrective action, when accepted by the Buyer, will constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Buyer may have against either the Seller or the Supplier in question with respect to this Interface Problem.

12.4.5 General

12.4.5.1 All requests under this Article 12.4 will be directed to both the Seller and the Suppliers concerned.

12.4.5.2 Except as explicitly set forth in this Article 12.4, this Article will not be deemed to impose on the Seller any obligations other than those explicitly set forth in this Article 12.

5. General Provisions

5.1 Roundings

Each quotient (HEn/HEb and ICn/ICb) shall be calculated and rounded to the nearest fourth (4th) decimal place.

If the next decimal is five (5) or more, the preceding decimal shall be rounded up to the next higher figure. During the final calculation, Pn shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (0.5 or rounded up to 1).

5.3 Interruption of Index Publication

If the US Department of Labor substantially revises or interrupts the publication of any of the indexes referred to above, the Seller shall use the index selected by Engine Alliance, with the agreement of the Seller, as a substitute for the unavailable index. Such a substitute index shall lead to the application of the same adjustments, insofar as possible, as those that would have been achieved by continuing to use the original index, as it may have changed due to economic fluctuations had it not been revised or interrupted.

An appropriate revision of the revision formula shall be made to accomplish this result.

5.4 Cancellation of the Revision Formula

Should the above revision provisions become null and void as a result of a US Government decision, the price shall be adjusted in accordance with increases in the cost of labor, material and fuel occurring from the period represented by the applicable Reference Composite Price Index to the sixth (6th) month prior to the scheduled month of Aircraft Delivery.

5.5 Limitation

Should the revised [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] Reference Price be lower than the [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] Reference Price, the Final Price shall be calculated using the [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] Reference Price.

12.2 Leasing Procedure: Leasing of Material

The Lessor shall keep a stock of Material as defined in the Lessor’s Material leasing list (Appendix A). Upon the Lessee’s request by telephone (to be confirmed in writing), telefax, letter or any other written medium, the Lessor shall lease such Material to the Lessee, subject to its availability as per paragraph 4.4. Each Material lease shall be endorsed by a lease document (“Lease”) issued by the Lessor to the Lessee not later than [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] after delivery of the Leased Part.

The lease shall commence from the time the Material is dispatched from the premises of the Lessor to the Lessee, or its representative, and shall end after the return of the leased part at the end of a [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] period after this delivery.

The Lease Period shall end when the Lessee exercises its option to purchase the Material, as provided for in this Article.

12.4 Lease Charges and Taxes

The Lessee shall pay the Lessor (a) a daily lease fee, for each Leased Part, amounting to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] of the purchase price of the Part set out in the Lessor’s Spare Parts Price List in effect on the leasing date, (b) any additional costs which may be incurred by the Lessor as a direct result of leasing to the Lessee, such as, but not exhaustively, costs relating to inspections, tests, repairs, overhauls, packaging and reconditioning, as required to place the Leased Part in a satisfactory condition for lease to a subsequent customer (c) all transport and insurance charges, (d) all taxes, charges or custom duties imposed on the Lessor or its property as a result of the lease, sale, delivery, storage or transport of any Leased Part.

All flight-hours of each Leased Part for which the Lessee is responsible during the Lease Period shall be indicated in a document supplied by the Lessee.

In order to exercise this option, the Lessee shall demonstrate to the Lessor that the Part originally installed on the Aircraft has not been repaired in acceptable economic conditions. Should the Lessee exercise such option to purchase the Leased part, [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] of the Lease charges already paid shall be deducted from the purchase price of the Leased Part.

12.8.2 In the event of purchase, the Leased Part shall be warranted in accordance with Paragraph 11 above, as though the Leased Part were a Seller’s Part.

12.9.4 Return and justification

The remedy of the Lessee and the obligation and liability of the Lessor under this paragraph 12.9, with respect to each defect, shall also

depend on:

a) the quickest possible return by the Lessee of the allegedly defective Leased Part, to the return location specified in the applicable Lease or to any other place mutually agreed upon, unless the Lessor has authorized the Lessee to repair the defect itself, under the conditions of Article 12.1.7 “Local Repairs” of the Aircraft Purchase Agreement, and

b) the Lessee submitting to the Lessor reasonable proof that the alleged defect is due to a cause covered by the Lessor’s Warranty, under the terms of this Paragraph 11.9, and that said defect was not caused by any act or omission on the part of the Lessee, including, but not limited to, any non-observance of the service and maintenance rules of the allegedly defective Leased Part or the Aircraft on which it has been installed, in accordance with applicable government regulations or the applicable written instructions of the Lessor.

12.9.5 Remedies

The remedy of the Lessee and the obligation and liability of the Lessor under this paragraph 12.9, with respect to each defect, shall be limited to the repair of such defect in the Leased Part on which the defect appears or, as mutually agreed by the Parties, to the replacement of such Leased Part with a similar part with no defects.

Any replacement part supplied under the terms of Paragraph 12.9.5 shall be deemed, under the terms of Paragraph 12.9.5, to be the Leased Part so replaced.

12.9.6 Suspension and Transport Costs

12.9.6.1 If a Leased Part is proved to be defective and covered by this Warranty, the Lessee’s obligation to pay the lease shall be suspended from the date on which the Lessee notifies the Lessor of such defect, until the date upon which the Lessor has repaired, or authorized the Lessee to repair, correct or replace the allegedly defective Leased Part. If the Lessor elects to replace the defective Leased Part, the Lease Period shall end on the date on which the Part is received by the Lessor at the return location specified in the applicable Lease.

12.9.6.2 All transport and insurance costs arising from the return of the defective Leased Parts and the return of the repaired, corrected or replacement parts, shall be borne by the Lessor.

12.9.6.3 The Lessor may decide that the Lessee can repair the Leased Part, and the lease penalty shall only be suspended if the part is defective.

12.9.7 Wear and Tear

Normal wear and tear and the need for maintenance and overhauls shall not constitute a defect or non-conformance under this Paragraph 12.9.
