of civil or military authority, fires, strikes, floods, epidemics, war, civil
disorder, riot, delays in transportation, or (3) inability due to causes beyond
its reasonable control to obtain necessary labor, material, or components. In
the event of any such delay, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period
equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. This provision shall not,
however, relieve GE from using reasonable efforts to continue performance
whenever such causes are removed. GE shall promptly notify Airline when such
delays occur or impending delays are likely to occur and shall continue to
advise it of new shipping schedules and changes thereto. In the event an
excusable delay continues for a period of six months or more beyond the

the other, cancel the part of any purchase order so delayed and GE shall return
to Airline all payments relative to the canceled part of the order and Airline
shall pay GE its reasonable cancellation charges.
ARTICLE IX - PATENTS
A. GE shall handle all claims and defend any suit or proceeding brought
against Airline insofar as based on a claim that without further

infringement of any patent of the United States or of any patent of any
other country that is signatory to Article 27 of the Convention on
International Civil Aviation signed by the United States at Chicago on
December 7, 1944, in which Airline is authorized to operate or in which
another airline pursuant to lawful interchange, lease or similar
arrangement, operates aircraft of Airline. This paragraph shall apply only
to Products manufactured to GE's design.
-5
8
B. GE's liability hereunder is conditioned upon Airline promptly notifying GE
in writing and giving GE authority, information and assistance (at GE's
expense) for the defense of any suit or proceeding. In case such Product
is held in such suit or proceeding to constitute infringement and the use
of said Product is enjoined, GE shall expeditiously, at its own expense
and at its option, either (1) procure for Airline the right to continue
using said Product; (2) replace same with satisfactory and noninfringing
Product; or (3) modify same so it becomes satisfactory and noninfringing.
GE shall not be responsible to Airline or to said other airline, for
incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, costs,
expenses, liabilities and loss of profits resulting from loss of use under
this Article IX.

or Parts installed as Original Equipment on aircraft owned, leased or
operated by Airline); (2) that was changed, modified, or not used for its
intended purpose; or (3) that was manufactured by GE to Airline's unique
specifications or directions. GE assumes no liability for patent
infringement as to such items.
The obligations recited in this Article IX shall constitute the sole and
exclusive remedies of Airline (and any other operator of Airline's GE Engine
powered aircraft) and the sole and exclusive liability of GE and GE's
wholly-owned affiliate, GE Engine Services Distribution, L.L.D., for actual and
alleged patent infringement.
ARTICLE X - INFORMATION AND DATA
A. All information and data, including, but not limited to, all repair
processes and procedures, manuals, designs, drawings, blueprints,

reasonably necessary to insure compliance by its employees, agents, and
subcontractors with this Article X.

under any patents or rights owned or controlled by GE.

regulations are promulgated prior to the date of Airline's purchase
order issued under this Agreement for such Products .
B. If, subsequent to the date of acceptance of the purchase order for such
Products but prior to their delivery by GE to Airline, the FAA issues
changes in regulations covering Products sold under this Agreement and
such changes in regulations are promulgated after the date of Airline
purchase orders for such Products, then all costs associated with any
Product modifications necessitated thereby will be shared equally by GE
and Airline; provided however, that costs associated with any
modifications to the airframe required by such Product modifications shall
not be borne by GE.
C. Any delay occasioned by complying with such regulations set forth in
Paragraph B above shall be deemed an Excusable Delay under Article VIII
hereof, and, in addition, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
specifications to reflect the effect of compliance with such regulations.
ARTICLE XII - TERMINATION FOR INSOLVENCY
A. Upon the commencement of any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding by or
against either party hereto (the "Defaulting Party"), the other Party
hereto may, upon written notice to the Defaulting Party, cease to perform
any and all of its obligations under this Agreement and the purchase
orders hereunder (including, without limitation, continuing work in
progress and making deliveries or progress payments or downpayments)

orders hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, and will promptly
compensate the other Party hereto for any actual pecuniary loss resulting

Party by the other Party hereto, this Agreement and all purchase orders
hereunder shall be canceled.
B. Either Party, at its option, may cancel this Agreement or any purchase
order hereunder with respect to any or all of the Products to be furnished
hereunder which are undelivered or not furnished on the effective date of
such cancellation by giving the other Party written notice, as hereinafter
provided, at any time after a receiver of the other's assets is appointed
on account of insolvency, or the other makes a general assignment for the
benefit of its creditors and such appointment of a receiver shall remain
in force undismissed, unvacated or unstayed for a period of sixty days
thereafter. Such notice of cancellation shall be given thirty days prior

voluntary general assignment for the benefit of creditors, such notice
need not precede the effective date of cancellation.

ATTACHMENT C
CONDITIONS FOR SPECIAL ALLOWANCES/DELAY/CANCELLATION
1. Allowance for Initial Aircraft Sale Only
Any allowance described in this Letter Agreement No. 1 applies only to new
CF6-80C2B1F powered Aircraft purchased by Airline directly from Boeing. The
allowances do not apply to an aircraft equipped with buyer-furnished engines, an
aircraft that has been the subject of a previous GE proposal or offer, or, to an
aircraft that has been previously sold (except in connection with Aircraft
financing for Airline) or otherwise acquired through resale, lease, transfer,
trade, or exchange.
2. Allowance Not Paid
Allowances described in this Letter Agreement No. 1 with respect to a
particular Aircraft will become unearned and will not be paid if Engines have
been delivered to Boeing for installation in such Aircraft and, thereafter, for
any reason, Airline's purchase order with Boeing for such Aircraft is
terminated, canceled, or revoked, or for any reason delivery of such Aircraft
will be prevented or delayed beyond the end of the calendar year following the
year the Engines for such Aircraft were delivered by GE to Boeing; provided,
however, GE agrees that such allowance will be reinstated and paid to Airline if
such Aircraft is subsequently delivered in accordance with the Aircraft Delivery
Schedule.
3. Earning and Payment of Allowances
The per-Aircraft allowances described herein will be earned by Atlas, on a
pro rata basis, upon delivery of each shipset of CF6-80C2B1F engines to Boeing
for installation on the corresponding Aircraft for Atlas. Each per-Aircraft
allowance will be available, as a credit against purchases from or services
performed by GE, within two working days following receipt of written notice
from Atlas that it has taken delivery of each Aircraft in accordance with its
purchase agreement with Boeing. However, with the agreement of Boeing and upon a
minimum of three business days written notice from Atlas to GE requesting the
same, GE will arrange to wire transfer the allowance to Boeing at the time of
delivery of such Aircraft for application to the purchase price of the Aircraft.
The Parties acknowledge that all necessary wire transfer addresses and
instructions must be received by GE no later than 3 business days prior to
delivery of the Aircraft for GE to make the necessary arrangements and to
prepare the appropriate escrow instructions.

will permit Airline to assign its Special Allowances and other rights (described
in this Letter Agreement No. 1) in connection with any equipment trust,
conditional sale, lien, leaseback or other arrangement for the financing by
Airline of the Aircraft or Engines that are the subject matter of this Letter
Agreement No. 1: provided, that the assignee is a financing institution that is
financing the Aircraft for the use and operation of Airline, and, in exercising
any rights or making any claims hereunder such assignee shall be bound by the
terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as Airline, and Airline shall
remain fully and entirely liable and responsible in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Letter Agreement No. 1 for all obligations and
liabilities of Airline.

proportionate share of the special allowances earned and/or paid with respect to
such Aircraft, (based on the percentage of the *** minimum period the Aircraft
was owned by Airline), with interest on such amount. The special allowance
reimbursement is due no later than 30 days from the time Airline ceases to own
such Aircraft. Interest will be calculated, *** from the time of initial
allowance payment on such Aircraft until the time of full reimbursement.
7. Excusable Delay
"Excusable Delay" with respect to an installed Engine as used in this
Attachment C means a delay in delivery of an Aircraft not attributable to a
failure of Airline to timely perform its obligations under the Boeing Purchase
Agreement (without giving effect to any supplement, modification or waiver
thereto which directly or indirectly results in a permitted delay of the
