Nature of the Guarantee

Subject to the limitations and conditions as hereinafter provided, and except as provided in Article 12.1.2, the Seller warrants to the Buyer that each Aircraft and all Warranted Parts will at the time of Delivery to the Buyer:

(i)

be free from material defects;

(ii)

be free from defects in workmanship, including manufacturing processes;

(iii)

be free from design defects (including the selection of materials) with regard to the state of the art at the time of the design;

(iv)

be free from defects arising from failure to conform to the Technical Specification, except those clauses of the Technical Specification where it is expressly stated that they are estimates, approximations or design objectives.

For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Warranted Part” means any component, equipment, software, accessory or part installed on the Aircraft upon Delivery of such Aircraft and

which is manufactured according to the detailed design of the Seller or its subcontractors, and

which bears a Seller part number (P/N) at the time of Delivery.

Exceptions

The warranties set forth in Article 12.1.1 will not apply to Buyer Furnished Equipment, nor to the Propulsion System, nor to any component, equipment, software, accessory or part purchased by the Seller that is not a Warranted Part provided that:

(i)

any defect in the Seller’s workmanship at the time of the installation of such parts on the Aircraft, including any failure by the Seller to conform to the installation instructions given by the manufacturers of these parts thereby invalidating the warranties granted by these manufacturers, will constitute a defect in workmanship for the purpose of this Article 12 and be covered by the warranty set forth in Article 12.1.1 paragraph (ii), and

(ii)

any defect inherent in the design of the Seller’s installation process, in consideration of the state of the art at the time of this design, which impairs the use of these parts will constitute a design defect for the purpose of this Article 12 and be covered by the warranty set forth in Article 12.1.1 paragraph (iii).

If a defect covered by Articles 12.1.1 paragraph (iii), 12.1.1 paragraph (iv) and 12.1.2 paragraph (ii) becomes apparent within the Warranty Period and if the Seller is obliged to correct such defect, the Seller must also make this correction on the other Aircraft still to be delivered, provided, however,

(i)

that the Seller will not be responsible nor deemed to be at fault in the performance of this Agreement, if there is any delay in the Delivery of the Aircraft concerned or;

(ii)

that, rather than accepting a delay in the Delivery of the Aircraft concerned, the Buyer and the Seller may agree to deliver such Aircraft with the subsequent correction of the defect by the Buyer at the Seller’s expense; or the Buyer may elect to accept Delivery and thereafter file a warranty claim as if the defect had become apparent after Delivery of the Aircraft concerned.

12.1.4.3

the hourly labour rate used for the reimbursement will be the rate defined in Article 12.1.7; and

(v)

the man-hours used to determine such reimbursement will not exceed the Seller’s reasonable estimate of the man-hours required for the Buyer to carry out these inspections.

The Seller will ensure that the Suppliers offer MTBUR (Mean Time Between Unscheduled Removals) and DMC (Direct Maintenance Costs) guarantees which are transferable to the Buyer.

The Seller will encourage the Suppliers to improve these guarantees and to observe their application for Supplier parts.

12.3.3

Supplier’s Default

12.3.3.1

If, under a standard warranty, MTBUR guarantee or Service Life Insurance obtained by the Seller under the After-Sale Clauses of the General Conditions for the Procurement of Equipment, a Supplier fails to fulfil its obligations in respect of a material, workmanship or design defect in any accessory, equipment or part (other than the Engines, Cowlings, Accessories and Additional Engine Equipment) assembled on an Aircraft at the time of delivery, and provided that the Buyer furnishes the Seller with proof that such defect has appeared, the standard warranty and the MTBUR Guarantee or the Service Life Insurance, as applicable, set forth in Sections 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3.2 of the Agreement, will apply to the defect in question in the same way as if the accessory, equipment or part had been manufactured according to the detailed plans and/or the Specifications of the Seller, except with regard to the duration of the warranty, which will be the Supplier’s warranty period indicated in the Suppliers Product Support Agreement.

At the Seller’s request, the Buyer will transfer all the rights to repair such defect arising from the above default to the Seller, which will then be subrogated towards the Supplier.

12.3.3.2

Engines, Accessories and Additional Engine Equipment, together with Buyer Furnished Equipment and any accessory, equipment or part chosen by the Buyer coming from Suppliers with which the Seller has not drawn up agreements in relation to the warranties, will be excluded from this Article 12.3.3.

12.4	Interface Commitment

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 sufficient and reasonable investigation, is not readily identifiable by the Buyer, but which the Buyer reasonably believes may be attributable to the design characteristics of one or more components of the Aircraft (“Interface Problem”), the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer, and without additional charge to the Buyer except for transportation of the Seller’s personnel 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 the corrective actions to be undertaken. The Buyer will furnish the Seller with all data and information in its possession relevant to the Interface Problem, and will cooperate with the Seller in carrying out its investigations and tests as may be required.

At the conclusion of such investigation, the Seller will promptly advise the Buyer in writing of its findings as to the cause or causes of the Interface Problem and its recommendations as to the corrective actions to be undertaken.

12.4.2

Seller’s Responsibility

If the Seller observes that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of a Warranted Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer and pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article 12.1, correct the design of such Warranted Part to the extent of the Seller’s obligations as defined in Article 12.1.

12.4.3

Supplier’s Responsibility

If the Seller observes that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of any Supplier Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer, reasonably assist the Buyer in drawing up any warranty claim the Buyer may make against the Supplier of the above Supplier Part.

The Seller will in addition take the actions authorised by its contract with the Supplier to investigate the correction of the Interface Problem which is acceptable to the Buyer.

12.4.4

Joint Responsibility

If the Seller observes that the Interface Problem is attributable partially to the design of a Warranted Part and partially to the design of a Supplier Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Buyer, seek a solution to the Interface Problem through the cooperative efforts of the Seller and the Supplier concerned.

The Seller will promptly advise the Buyer of the corrective action recommended by the Seller and by the Supplier. Such proposal must be consistent with any existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of the Supplier in question with respect to the Buyer. Such corrective action, when accepted by the Buyer, will constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Buyer may have against either the Seller or the Supplier in question with respect to this Interface Problem.

12.4.5

The Lessee shall pay the Lessor (a) a daily lease fee, for each Leased Part, amounting to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] of the purchase price of the Part set out in the Lessor’s Spare Parts Price List in effect on the leasing date, (b) any additional costs which may be incurred by the Lessor as a direct result of leasing to the Lessee, such as, but not exhaustively, costs relating to inspections, tests, repairs, overhauls, packaging and reconditioning, as required to place the Leased Part in a satisfactory condition for lease to a subsequent customer (c) all transport and insurance charges, (d) all taxes, charges or custom duties imposed on the Lessor or its property as a result of the lease, sale, delivery, storage or transport of any Leased Part.

12.9.4

Return and justification

The remedy of the Lessee and the obligation and liability of the Lessor under this paragraph 12.9, with respect to each defect, shall also

depend on:

the Lessee submitting to the Lessor reasonable proof that the alleged defect is due to a cause covered by the Lessor’s Warranty, under the terms of this Paragraph 11.9, and that said defect was not caused by any act or omission on the part of the Lessee, including, but not limited to, any non-observance of the service and maintenance rules of the allegedly defective Leased Part or the Aircraft on which it has been installed, in accordance with applicable government regulations or the applicable written instructions of the Lessor.

12.9.5

Remedies

The remedy of the Lessee and the obligation and liability of the Lessor under this paragraph 12.9, with respect to each defect, shall be limited to the repair of such defect in the Leased Part on which the defect appears or, as mutually agreed by the Parties, to the replacement of such Leased Part with a similar part with no defects.

The Lessor may decide that the Lessee can repair the Leased Part, and the lease penalty shall only be suspended if the part is defective.

12.9.7

Wear and Tear

Normal wear and tear and the need for maintenance and overhauls shall not constitute a defect or non-conformance under this Paragraph 12.9.
