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 due and reasonable investigation, is not readily identifiable by the Buyer, but which the Buyer reasonably believes to be attributable to the design characteristics of one or more components of the Aircraft (an “Interface Problem”), the Seller shall, if so requested by the Buyer, and without additional charge to the Buyer except for reasonable cost of transportation of the Seller’s personnel free of charge on the Buyer’s route system (on confirmed business class), 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 such corrective action as may be feasible.

12.4.4 Joint Responsibility

If the Seller determines in the exercise of good faith and diligence, that the Interface Problem is attributable partially to the design of a Warranted Part and partially to the design of any Vendor Part, the Seller shall, if so requested by the Buyer, seek a solution to the Interface Problem through cooperative efforts of the Seller and any Vendor involved.

The Seller shall promptly advise the Buyer of such corrective action as may be proposed by the Seller and any such Vendor. Such proposal shall be consistent with any then existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of any such Vendor to the Buyer. Such corrective action when duly accepted by the Buyer shall constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Buyer may have against either the Seller or any such Vendor with respect to such Interface Problem.

LETTER AGREEMENT No 7

1. Maintenance Cost Control

The Seller will undertake to assist the Buyer to achieve savings in the maintenance of the A320 Aircraft family, should this prove necessary, in the following manner:

1) After having jointly examined with the Buyer its operational parameters, the Seller will provide the Buyer with target levels of global material and parts consumption for the Aircraft subject of the present Agreement. These targets will cover A320 family airframe systems and structures including components with the exception of the cabin and passenger entertainment system, as well as the APU and wheels and brakes for which the Seller will cause the manufacturers to directly provide to the Buyer for highly competitive guarantees. In accordance with a detailed procedure to be mutually agreed upon, the Buyer and the Seller will then meet on a regular basis in order to compare the Buyer’s actual material and parts consumption with the agreed targets. In case significant differences between the target values and the actually achieved figures [*] are observed, the Buyer and the Seller will work together to identify the causes of these differences, and the Seller will as soon as reasonably practicable make recommendations which will be applied by the Buyer at its own discretion. Should the Buyer strictly applies the Seller’s recommendations, and target is not met, the Seller will work with the Buyer until reaching satisfactory level according to Buyer.

Analysis and recommendations will be provided [*] to the Buyer.

For information purposes, the current Seller’s calculation for airframe and components material expenditures (excluding cabin, passenger entertainment system, APU, wheels and brakes) on a typical Buyer’s A320 is [*]. This estimate was made [*], based on the operational parameters indicated by the Buyer at that date (average sector in flight hours [*]. For the A319 the estimate is [*].

2) In addition to paragraph 1 above the Seller is [*] to define with the Buyer a list of significant equipment cost drivers. The Seller undertakes on these mutually agreed cost drivers, to establish target cost levels improving the maintenance cost expenditure of the Buyer, and then to assist the Buyer in reaching the said target.
