| Reference: |
Purchase Agreement No. 2444 (the Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and AirTran Airways, Inc. (Customer) relating to Model 737-7BD aircraft (the Aircraft) | |
This letter agreement (Letter Agreement) amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.
Customer may substitute the purchase of Boeing Model 737-8BD aircraft described in Attachment A1 (Substitute Aircraft) in place of any of the Aircraft, subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Customer’s Written Notice.
Customer will provide written notice of its intention to substitute the purchase of an Aircraft with the purchase of a Substitute Aircraft, (a) no later than the first day of the month that is 12 months prior to the scheduled month of delivery of the Aircraft for which it will be substituted, provided that a Subsitute Aircraft has been previously certified and delivered to Customer, or (b) no later than the first day of the month that is 15 months prior to the scheduled month of delivery of the Aircraft for which it will be substituted, if a Substitute Aircraft has not been previously certified and delivered to Customer.
2. Boeing’s Production Capability.
Customer’s substitution right is conditioned upon Boeing’s having production capability for the Substitute Aircraft in the scheduled delivery month of the Aircraft for which it will be substituted, determined as of the time Customer requests such substitution.
Boeing will tentatively quote delivery positions for Substitute Aircraft to allow Customer to secure quotes from Buyer Furnished Equipment vendors, and Boeing to secure quotes from Seller Furnished Equipment vendors which support (which shall be the earliest month following the schedule delivery month in which the Substitute Aircraft can reasonably be delivered, consistent with Boeing’s then existing contractual commitment and production capabilities) the required on-dock
dates. If Boeing is unable to manufacture the Substitute Aircraft in the scheduled delivery month of the Aircraft for which it will be substituted, then Boeing shall promptly make a written offer of an alternate delivery month (which shall be the earliest month following the scheduled delivery month in which the Substitute Aircraft can reasonably be delivered, consistent with Boeing’s then existing contractual commitments and production capabilities) for Customer’s consideration and written acceptance within thirty (30) days of such offer.
3. Definitive Amendment to Purchase Agreement.
Customer’s substitution right and Boeing’s obligation in this Letter Agreement are further conditioned upon Customer’s and Boeing’s executing a definitive amendment to the Purchase Agreement for the purchase of the Substitute Aircraft within thirty (30) days of the later of Customer’s substitution notice to Boeing or of Customer’s acceptance of an alternate delivery month in accordance with paragraph 2. above. Such amendment shall address matters specifically related to differences between the Substituted Aircraft and the Aircraft for which it is substituted, but shall not alter or amend generally applicable provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
4. Price and Advance Payments.
The Airframe Price of the Substitute Aircraft is shown in Attachment B1 attached hereto. Prices of Optional Features will be as established at the time Customer’s initial configuration of the Substitute Aircraft is added to the Purchase Agreement. The Aircraft Basic Price of Substitute Aircraft shall be subject to adjustment under the terms of the Purchase Agreement to reflect: (a) any Manufacturer Change or Operator Change affecting a Substitute Aircraft substituted in lieu of a firm Aircraft, and (b) any other changes to such Substitute Aircraft to which the parties may mutually agree. The escalation indices and methodology used to estimate the Advance Payment Base Prices will be as set forth in then-current provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
If the Advance Payment Base Price for any Substitute Aircraft is higher than that of the Aircraft, Customer will pay to Boeing the amount of the difference as of the date of execution of the definitive Purchase Agreement amendment for the Substitute Aircraft. If the Advance Payment Base Price of the Substitute Aircraft is lower than that of the Aircraft, Boeing will retain any excess amounts previously paid by Customer until the next payment is due from Customer, at which point the amount of such payment will be reduced by the amount of the excess. In no case will Boeing refund or pay interest on any such excess amounts created by virtue of Customer’s exercise of the rights of substitution described in this agreement.
5. Confidential Treatment.
Customer understands that certain commercial and financial information contained in this Letter Agreement are considered by Boeing as confidential. Customer agrees that it will treat this Letter Agreement and the information contained herein as confidential and will not, without the prior written consent of Boeing, disclose this Letter Agreement or any information contained herein to any other person or entity except as required (i) by applicable law and governmental regulation; (ii) for disclosures to Customer’s employees and professional consultants and advisers; and (iii) for financing the Aircraft in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of the AGTA-CQT.

| Subject: | Purchase Right Aircraft |
| Reference: | Purchase Agreement No. 2444 (the Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and AirTran Airways, Inc. (Customer) relating to Model 737-7BD aircraft (the Aircraft) |
This letter agreement (Letter Agreement) amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.
Customer has requested and Boeing has agreed to manufacture and sell to Customer up to twenty-five (25) additional model 737-7BD aircraft (Purchase Right Aircraft) to Customer, subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Purchase Right Aircraft Delivery Positions.
Purchase Right Aircraft positions are subject to available delivery positions and other manufacturing constraints. Purchase Right Aircraft are available to Customer upon signing of this Letter Agreement, and all exercised Purchase Right Aircraft must deliver by December 31, 2010. Purchase Right Aircraft are offered according to the following table.
| Delivery Period |
Purchase Right Positions Available |
Expiration Date of Unexercised Positions | ||
| 2009 |
13 | June 30, 2008 | ||
| 2010 |
12 | June 30, 2009 |
2. Expiration of Purchase Rights.
Should Customer choose not to exercise some or all of the offered Purchase Right Aircraft, such un-exercised Purchase Right Aircraft will expire and will be cancelled on the dates shown in paragraph 1. above.
3. Purchase Right Aircraft Exercise.
Customer may exercise a Purchase Right Aircraft by providing Boeing with written notice not later than the first business day of the month eighteen (18) months prior to the requested aircraft delivery position. Requests for exercise of Purchase Right Aircraft with greater than 18 months lead time will provide a higher probability of availability of the requested delivery position.
If a delivery position is available for Customer in the month requested by Customer, Boeing will reserve that position for Customer and shall give written confirmation thereof to Customer within three (3) business days after receipt of the Customer’s request to exercise a Purchase Right Aircraft. Customer shall provide written confirmation of acceptance of the offered delivery position within three (3) business days after Boeing’s notification. Customer’s lack of confirmation within three (3) business days after Boeing’s notification will be considered a rejection of the offered delivery position.
If a delivery position is not available for Customer in the month requested by Customer, Boeing will offer Customer, subject to prior sale, two alternate delivery positions close to the delivery position requested by Customer. Customer shall provide written confirmation within three (3) business days after receipt of such notification of the one alternate delivery position Customer has selected. Customer’s lack of confirmation within three (3) business days after receipt of Boeing’s notification will be considered a rejection of the offered alternate delivery position. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not have the right to select both alternate delivery positions in connection with the exercise of a single Purchase Right Aircraft.
4. Deposit.
Customer will pay to Boeing a deposit in the amount shown on the attached Table 1 for each Purchase Right Aircraft purchased pursuant to the exercise of such purchase right. The deposit will be due and payable on the date of Customer’s acceptance of Boeing’s offered delivery position of a Purchase Right Aircraft. Boeing will apply such deposit to the Aircraft Price of the Purchase Right Aircraft pursuant to and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
5. Purchase Right Aircraft Price.
The Airframe Price of the Model 737-7BD Purchase Right Aircraft delivering before December 31, 2010, is shown in the attached Table 1. *** The Aircraft Basic Price of Purchase Right Aircraft shall be subject to adjustment under the terms of the Purchase Agreement to reflect: (a) any Manufacturer Change or Operator Change affecting a Purchase Right Aircraft, (b) product improvements incorporated by the manufacturer, and (c) any other changes to such Purchase Right Aircraft to which the parties may mutually agree; but will not be subject to any general price increase during the term of this Letter Agreement. ***
6. Definitive Agreement.
Customer’s exercise of a Purchase Right Aircraft and Boeing’s obligation in this Letter Agreement are further conditioned upon Customer and Boeing executing a definitive amendment to the Purchase Agreement providing for the purchase of the Purchase Right Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement within thirty (30) days of Customer’s notice of exercise of a Purchase Right Aircraft to Boeing or, if applicable, within thirty (30) days of Customer’s acceptance of an alternate delivery month.
7. Advance Payments.
The Advance Payment Base Price applicable to each exercised Purchase Right Aircraft will be determined in accordance with paragraph 5. above. Advance payments, less the deposit paid at exercise of the Purchase Right Aircraft, shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
