Labor Index = the cumulative, compounded percentage change from the BY to the YO of the twelve (12) point weighted average of the “NAICS Code 336411 (BLS code: CIU20232110000001), prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, rounded to the second decimal place, for the twelve (12) month period ending on the last day of June of each year. Should the U.S. Department of Labor revise the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine this index, cease publishing this index, or for any reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable price adjustment, GE and Customer will select a substitute for such values from data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or other similar data reported by non governmental United States organizations. Appropriate revisions of the formula will be made as required to reflect any substitute values.

Cumulative Spare Parts Index YO = the cumulative, compounded percentage price change from the BY to the YO, calculated using the annual average price changes published by CFM for the CFM56-5B Spare Parts Price Catalog, and rounded to the first decimal place.

The calculation of Pn for any YO will be made effective January 1 of the YO.

Exhibit E-4 – Rate Per EFH Sensitivity Matrix

If the actual operating parameters do not precisely equal the values on the tables, severity will be calculated by performing linear interpolation within the tables’ closet stated values to the actual operating parameters. Two dimensional linear interpolation will be applied, as necessary, between the tables two closest Flight Leg, Derate and Utilization values. The resultant severity values will be rounded to 4 decimal places. The final severity applied will be the product of these severity values rounded to 4 decimal places.

Should Customer’s actual operating parameters go beyond the furthest points of the table provided, GE shall adjust the table to cover Customer’s updated operating parameters. Such adjusted table will be applied retroactively to the time Customer’s operating parameters moved beyond the points provided and, if applicable, GE shall invoice or provided a credit to Customer for any amounts that would have been applicable if the rates on such table had been in effect at the time the flight hours were incurred.

The preceding Section 6.2 will not apply to information which (a) is or becomes part of the general public knowledge or literature otherwise than as a result of breach of the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder, or (b) was, as shown by written records, known to the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the disclosing party, or (c) is disclosed without restriction to the Receiving Party by a third party having the right to do so.

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 or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of litigation) incurred by any Indemnitee, relating to, arising from any claim that any material or process or part thereof used in the repair of any items under this Agreement constitutes an infringement of any patent, copyright, trade secret or any other intellectual property rights worldwide.

7.2 Liability. Customer shall promptly notify GE in writing if any such claims.

7.3 Indemnification. The preceding section 7.2 will not apply: (1) to any material or process or part thereof of Customer design or specification, or used at Customer’s written direction . 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 reasonable costs and expense in defending any such claim or liability in respect thereto.

Exhibit E-4 – Rate Per EFH Sensitivity Matrix

If the actual operating parameters do not precisely equal the values on the tables, severity will be calculated by performing linear interpolation within the tables’ closest stated values to the actual operating parameters. Two dimensional linear interpolation will be applied, as necessary, between the tables two closest Flight Leg, Derate and Utilization values. The resultant severity values will be rounded to 4 decimal places. The final severity applied will be the product of these severity values rounded to 4 decimal places.

Should Customers actual operating parameters go beyond the furthest points of the table provided, GE shall adjust the table to cover Customers updated operating parameters. Such adjusted table will be applied retroactively to the time Customers operating parameters moved beyond the points provided and, if applicable, GE shall invoice or provided a credit to Customer for any amounts that would have been applicable if the rates on such table had been in effect at the time the flight hours were incurred.
