Buyer
Requested Changes

Frontier
shall request changes to the Specification including any Buyer Selected Optional
Features by way of a Change Order. Should Frontier request a change, Bombardier
shall advise Frontier whether Bombardier is prepared to agree to make such
change and, if so, of the price and availability of the change and, to the
extent reasonably practical, of the expected effect, if any, of such change
request on:
(a) the
Scheduled Delivery Month;
(b) the
price and payment terms applicable to the Change Order; and
(c) the
performance characteristics of the Aircraft.
Such
Change Order shall become effective and binding on the parties hereto when
signed by a duly authorized representative of each party. Any changes made
in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 10.1 shall be a “Buyer Requested
Change” and the cost thereof shall be borne by Frontier. Any delay in Delivery
resulting from changes to the Delivery Date agreed by Frontier in such Change
Order shall not be deemed a Non-Excusable Delay under this Agreement and such
date shall thereafter be the project Readiness Date for such Aircraft for all
purposes, including Article 12 and Article 13.

Permitted
Changes
|
Bombardier
may, prior to the Delivery Date and without a Change Order or Frontier’s
consent:
(a)
|
substitute
the kind, type or source of any material, part, accessory or equipment
with any other material, part, accessory or equipment of like, equivalent
or better kind or type; or
|
(b)
|
make
such change or modification to the Specification as it deems appropriate
to:
|
1)
improve
the Aircraft, its maintainability or appearance, or
2)
prevent
delays in manufacture or delivery,
provided
that such substitution, change or modification shall not (i) increase the
Aircraft Purchase Price and/or (ii) adversely affect (a) the Scheduled Delivery
Month, (b) interchangeability, or replaceability of spare parts or (c) the
performance related guarantees described in any Letter Agreement. If a
substitution, change or modification affects the Aircraft Purchase Price or
affects the Scheduled Delivery Month, interchangeability or replaceability
of
spare parts or the performance related guarantees described Letter Agreements
Nos. 10 - 13, Frontier’s consent shall be required in order to incorporate such
substitution, change or modification. Any change made in accordance with the

Regulatory
Changes
If
any
change to, or modification or testing of, the Aircraft is required by any law
or
governmental regulation or requirement or interpretation thereof by any
governmental agency having jurisdiction in order to meet the requirements of
Article 7.2 (a “Regulatory Change”), such Regulatory Change shall be made to the
Aircraft prior to the Delivery Date to the extent practicable, or at such other
time after the Delivery Date as the parties may agree upon.
The
Regulatory Change shall be made without additional charge to Frontier unless
such Regulatory Change is:
(a)
|
necessary
to comply with any requirement of the United States of America which
varies from or is in addition to its regulations, requirements or
interpretations in effect on the date hereof for the issuance of
a
Certificate of Airworthiness in the United States of America and
which is
not also required by TC, in which case Frontier shall pay Bombardier’s
reasonable charges for such Regulatory Change,
or
|
(b)
|
required
by any governmental law or regulations or interpretation thereof
promulgated by the FAA which is effective subsequent to the date
of this
Agreement but before the Delivery Date and which is applicable to
[***],
in which case Frontier shall pay Bombardier’s reasonable charges for such
Regulatory Change incorporated in any such
Aircraft.
|
If
Delivery of an Aircraft is delayed as a direct result of Bombardier’s
incorporation of modifications to the Aircraft to comply with any Regulatory
Change, such delay, absent other fault or neglect of Bombardier, shall be deemed
an Excusable Delay within the meaning of Article 12; provided [***].
In
such
circumstances, [***].
Bombardier
shall issue a Change Order reflecting any Regulatory Change which shall set
forth in detail the particular changes to be made to the Aircraft and the
anticipated effect, if any, of such changes on design, performance, weight,
balance, projected Readiness Date or Scheduled Delivery Month as applicable,
and
the Base Price and estimated Aircraft Purchase Price. Any Change Orders issued
pursuant to this Article shall be effective and binding upon the date of
Bombardier’s transmittal of such Change Order.

3. In
the
calculation of the Aircraft Price Adjustment:
a.
all
indices used in the calculations made to determine the factor to apply to
P0,
and
the calculations themselves, will be to four significant digits;
and
b.
the
Aircraft Price Adjustment will be corrected to the nearest dollar.
4. In
the
event that at the time of Aircraft delivery Bombardier is unable to determine
the Aircraft Price Adjustment due to the unavailability of L1,
E1,
M1,
or
I1 then
Bombardier shall use the last provisionally published indices, and in the event
that provisional indices are not available, Bombardier shall extrapolate using
the most recent three (3) months of published final indices available to
calculate the Aircraft Purchase Price which shall then become the final price.
5. In
the
event that any index used in the Economic Adjustment Formula is discontinued
or
restated, or if the methodology employed by the relevant authority in
determining the index is substantially revised, then the index shall be replaced
or amended in accordance with the revised index published by the relevant
authority.

|
a) | the Aircraft was operated with any products or parts not specifically approved by Bombardier, unless Frontier furnishes reasonable evidence acceptable to Bombardier that such products or parts were not a cause of the Defect; or | ||
b) |
the
Aircraft
was not operated or maintained in accordance with the Technical
Data
listed in Attachment A of Annex A and the manufacturer’s documentation
furnished to Frontier (including Service Bulletins and airworthiness
directives) unless Frontier furnishes reasonable evidence acceptable
to
Bombardier that such operation or maintenance was not a cause of
the
Defect; or
|
||
c) | the Aircraft was not operated under normal airline use, unless Frontier furnishes reasonable evidence acceptable to Bombardier that such operation was not a cause of the Defect; or | ||
d) | Frontier does not |
1) | report the Defect in writing to Bombardier’s warranty administrator [***]; | |||
2) | retain the Bombardier Part claimed to be defective (unless applicable to a claim for a Fixed Rate Warranty Credit under Article 1.3) until advised by Bombardier to return such Bombardier Part to Bombardier’s designated facility in order for Bombardier to finalize its evaluation of the warranty claim or to otherwise dispose of such Bombardier Part; | |||
3) |
submit
the
claim in accordance with the requirements of Article 1.4;
and
|
|||
Annex
B
to PA-581
Frontier
Airlines Holdings, Inc. Page 4
4) |
allow
Bombardier reasonable opportunity to be present during the disassembly
and
inspection of the Bombardier Part claimed to be defective; provided
that
Bombardier's presence at the removal of the Bombardier Part from
the
Aircraft shall not be required as a condition to Bombardier's
obligations
or liability under this warranty.
|
1.8.2
|
The
warranty does not apply to Buyer Furnished
Equipment.
|
1.9
|
Normal
Usage
|
Normal
wear and tear and the need for regular maintenance and overhaul
shall not
constitute a Defect or failure under this
warranty.
|
1.10
|
Overhaul
of Warranty Parts
|
Bombardier’s
liability for a Bombardier Part which has a Defect and is overhauled
by
Frontier within the Warranty Period shall be limited only to that

of the labour and material replacement related to the
Defect.
|
1.11
|
No
Fault Found
In
the event that Frontier
submits Bombardier Parts for repair, correction or replacement
under a
warranty claim and such Bombardier Parts are determined by Bombardier
to
be serviceable (such submissions being hereinafter referred to
as a “No
Fault Claim”), Bombardier shall have the right, should Frontier’s number
of No Fault Claims exceed [***],
to determine such No Fault Claims to be excessive, taking into
account the
length of Frontier’s experience with maintaining the Aircraft and other
operators’ experience with a given Bombardier Part, and to charge to
Frontier Bombardier’s reasonable costs in connection with the processing
and validation of Frontier’s No Fault Claims in excess of such
[***]
threshold.
In
the event that a
Bombardier Part returned under a warranty claim is subsequently
established to be serviceable, then Bombardier shall be entitled
to charge
and recover from Frontier any reasonable costs incurred by Bombardier
in
connection with processing and validating such warranty claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that repetitive in-service
failure occurs with respect to a Bombardier Part which is identified
by
Bombardier on a repeated basis to be “no fault found”, then Bombardier and
Frontier shall discuss and mutually agree to a course of further
action to
help identify the cause of failure of such part giving rise to
Frontier's
claim of warranty. In the event the failure of such is ultimately
confirmed to be a valid basis for a warranty claim, then the above
mentioned costs incurred by Bombardier and charged to Frontier
shall be
waived [***].
