1.1 Total Liability. The total liability of GE for any and all claims, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including simple negligence but excluding willful misconduct, or gross negligence), product liability, patent infringement or otherwise, for any damages arising out of, connected with or resulting from 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 [***] Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will GE have any liability hereunder, whether as a result of breach of contract, warranty, tort (including simple negligence but excluding willful misconduct or gross negligence), product liability, or otherwise, for any special, consequential, incidental, resultant or indirect damages (including, without limitation, loss of use, profit, revenue or goodwill) or punitive or exemplary damages.

In no event will GE have any liability hereunder, whether as a result of breach of contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability, patent liability, or otherwise, for the design, material, workmanship, engineering defects or product liability and any damages whatsoever, including damages to personal property and for personal injury or death, caused in any way by the manufacturer of an Engine, or the parts, LRU’s, components or material, thereof, or related thereto.

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 GE from all claims and liabilities associated therewith. The preceding indemnity shall apply whether or not GE was provided a right under this Agreement to remove such LRU’s, parts or repairs, and irrespective of the exercise by GE of such right.

Such causes will be conclusively deemed to include, but not be limited to [***] (including disruption of technology resources), or transportation shortages (each an “Excusable Delay”). [***]

5.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION

5.1 Dispute Resolution. If any dispute arises relating to this 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. If the Parties’ senior managers do not resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of first written request, either party may request that the dispute be settled and finally determined by binding arbitration, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in New York, New York,. before three arbitrators in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. Each of GE and Customer shall select one arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected will select the third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to reach agreement on the selection of third arbitrator within thirty (30) days, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA. The arbitrator(s) will have no authority to award punitive damages, attorney’s fees and related costs or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and applicable law. The award of the arbitrator(s) will be final, binding and non-appealable, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. All statements made or materials produced in connection with this dispute resolution process and arbitration are confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party except as required by law or subpoena. The Parties intend that the dispute resolution process set forth in this Article will be their exclusive remedy for any dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter.

5.2 Exception. Either Party may at any time, without inconsistency with this Article, seek from a court of competent jurisdiction any equitable, interim, or provisional relief to avoid irreparable harm or injury. This Article will not apply to and will not bar litigation regarding claims related to a party’s proprietary or intellectual property rights, nor will this Article be construed to modify or displace the ability of the Parties to effectuate any termination contemplated in Article 12 of the Agreement.

6.0 NONDISCLOSURE OF PROPRIETARY DATA

6.1 Non- Disclosure. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, any written information or data that is marked proprietary or confidential which the Parties have or may disclose to each other shall be held in confidence and may not be either disclosed or used for any purpose, except that GE may disclose the same to its affiliates, subsidiaries, joint venture participants, engineering service provider, or consultants as needed to perform the Services provided under this Agreement. Customer may disclose it to its affiliates, and subsidiaries, and permitted assignees in accordance with Section 9.1 (ii). The preceding clause will not apply to information which (1) is or becomes part of the general public knowledge or literature otherwise than as a result of breach of any confidentiality obligation to GE, or (2) was, as shown by written records, known to the receiving party prior to receipt from the disclosing party.

6.2 Intellectual Property. Nothing contained in this Agreement will convey to either Party the right to use the trademarks of the other, or convey or grant to Customer any license under any patent owned or controlled by GE.

7.0 PATENTS

7.1 Claims. GE shall indemnify Customer and Customer’s subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, subcontractors, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), and defend and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, settlements, claims, actions, suits, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of litigation) incurred by any Indemnitee, relating to or arising from any claim that any material or process or part thereof used in the repair of any items under this Agreement constitutes [***].

7.2 Liability. Customer shall promptly notify GE in writing of any such claims. To the extent Customer fails to so notify GE, such failure will relieve GE of its obligations under this Article 7 only to the extent that GE’s ability to defend the applicable claim is prejudiced by such lack of notice. GE’s liability under this Article 7 is expressly conditioned upon Customer giving GE reasonable authority, information and assistance (at GE expense) for the handling, defense or settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding. In case such material or process is held in such suit to constitute infringement and the use of said material or process is enjoined, GE will, at GE’s own expense and at GE’s 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 this Agreement, or (3) replace or modify such item with an item incorporating non-infringing material or process.

7.3 Indemnification. The preceding Section 7.2 will not apply to any material or process or part thereof of Customer design or specification, or used at Customer’s direction in any repair under this Agreement. As to any material or process or use described in the preceding sentence, GE assumes no liability whatsoever for patent or copyright infringement, and Customer will, in the same manner as GE is obligated to Customer above, indemnify, defend and hold GE harmless from and against any claim or liability, including costs and expense in defending any such claim or liability in respect thereto.

7.4 Remedy. THE FOREGOING WILL CONSTITUTE CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY AND GE’S SOLE LIABILITY FOR PATENT OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT BY ANY MATERIAL OR PROCESS AND IS SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 1, “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY”; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE NO EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CLAIMED BY THE PATENT HOLDER. THE PATENT WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS RECITED ABOVE ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER PATENT WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL, WRITTEN, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY (INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE).

[***]

All correspondence and documentation arising out of or connected with this Agreement and any related purchase order(s), including Engine records and Engine logs, will be in the English language.

9.6 Non-Waiver of Rights and Remedies. Any failure or delay in the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder will not operate to waive or impair such rights or remedies. Any waiver given will not be construed to require future or further waivers.
