2. AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION
2.1 The guarantees stated above are based on the Aircraft
configuration as defined in the Technical Description
PTD-190/195-Rev.4, dated May 2003, plus specific Buyer
configuration options as defined at Attachment "A" to the
Purchase Agreement, (hereinafter referred to as the "Detail
Specification"). If necessary, appropriate adjustment to
this Aircraft Performance Guarantees shall be made for
changes in such Detail Specification (including but not
limited to Buyer requests for changes, Proposal of Major
Changes or any other changes mutually agreed upon between
the Buyer and Embraer) approved in writing by the Buyer and
Embraer. Such adjustments shall be accounted for by Embraer
in its evidence of compliance with the guarantees.
In the event a change is made to any law, governmental
regulation or requirement, or in the interpretation of any
such law, governmental regulation or requirement that
affects the certification basis for the Aircraft, and as a
result thereof, a change is made to the configuration and/or
the performance of the Aircraft in order to obtain
certification, the guarantees set forth in this Aircraft
Performance Guarantee shall be appropriately modified to
reflect any such change.
2.2 The performance guarantees of Article 1 of this Attachment
shall be adjusted by Embraer for the following in its
evidence of compliance with such guarantees:
a. Changes to the Detail Specification including Major
Changes or any other changes mutually agreed upon
between the Buyer and Embraer.
b. The difference between the weight allowances of
optional items listed in the Detail Specification and
the actual weights.
2.3 The performance guarantees of Article 1 of this Attachment
do not take into account any Aircraft drag penalty
associated to the installation of IFE (LiveTV) equipment,
such as antennas, connectors, etc. In the event that such
equipment are installed prior to the Aircraft delivery,
appropriate Aircraft drag adjustments shall be accounted for
by Embraer in its evidence of compliance with the
guarantees.
3. GUARANTEE CONDITIONS
3.1 All guaranteed performance data are based on the ICAO
International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) unless otherwise
specified. Altitudes are pressure altitudes. The FAA
regulations referred to in this Attachment are, unless
otherwise specified, the Certification Basis regulations
specified in the Aircraft Type Certificate Data Sheet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTACHMENT "H" - PERFORMANCE AND WEIGHT GUARANTEE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 The takeoff and landing guarantees are based on hard
surface, level and dry runways with no wind or obstacles, no
clearway or stopway, and with automatic anti-skid operative
unless otherwise specified. The takeoff performance is based
on no engine bleed for air conditioning or thermal
anti-icing and the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) turned off
unless otherwise specified. The improved climb performance
procedure will be used for takeoff as required. The landing
data is based on the use of automatic spoilers.
3.3 The cruise specific air range, speed and the climb, cruise
and descent portions of the mission guarantees include
allowances for normal electrical power extraction and normal
operation of the air conditioning system. Normal power
extraction shall be defined as not less than a 41 kW total
electrical and hydraulic loads. Normal operation of the air
conditioning system shall be defined as operation in the
automatic mode, with the temperature control set to maintain
a nominal cabin temperature of 70 (Degree)F, and all air
conditioning systems operating normally. This operation
nominally allows a maximum cabin pressure differential of
*** lb per square inch, with a nominal Aircraft cabin
ventilation rate of *** cu.ft per min at *** ft including
passenger cabin recirculation (nominal recirculation is
***%). The APU is turned off unless otherwise specified.
3.5 The cruise specific air range, speed and the climb, cruise,
and descent portions of the mission guarantees are based on
an Aircraft center of gravity location of ***% of the mean
aerodynamic chord.
3.6 Performance, where applicable, is based on a fuel Lower
Heating Value (LHV) of 18,580 BTU per pound and a fuel
density of 6.7 lb per U.S. gallon.
4. PARTIES' OBLIGATIONS ACCORDING TO THIS GUARANTEE
