EXCUSABLE
DELAY
|
10.1
|
The
Buyer acknowledges that the Aircraft (is) (are) to be manufactured by
Seller in performance of this Agreement and that the Scheduled Delivery
Month (s) (is) (are) based on the assumption that there shall be no delay
due to causes beyond the control of the Seller. Accordingly, Seller shall
not be responsible for any delay in the Delivery of the Aircraft or delay
or interruption in the performance of the other obligations of the Seller
hereunder due to causes beyond its control, and not occasioned by its
fault or negligence including (but without limitation) acts of God or the
public enemy, war, civil war, warlike operations, terrorism, insurrections
or riots, fires, explosions, natural disasters, compliance with any
applicable foreign or domestic governmental regulation or order, labour
disputes causing cessation, slowdown or interruption of work, inability
after due and timely diligence to procure materials, equipment or parts,
general hindrance in transportation or failure of a sub-contractor or
supplier to furnish materials, equipment or parts. Any delay or
interruption resulting from any of the foregoing causes is referred to as
an "Excusable
Delay".
|
10.2
|
If
an Excusable Delay occurs:
|
|
(i)
|
the
Seller shall notify the Buyer of such Excusable Delay as soon as
practicable after becoming aware of the
same;
|
|
(ii)
|
the
Seller shall not be responsible for any damages arising from or in
connection with such Excusable Delay suffered or incurred by the
Buyer;
|
|
(iii)
|
the
Seller shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of its
obligations hereunder as a result of such Excusable Delay;
and
|
|
(iv)
|
the
Seller shall as soon as practicable after the removal of the cause of the
delay resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement and in
particular shall notify to the Buyer the revised Scheduled Delivery
Month.
|

on Excusable Delay
|
10.3.1

If
the Delivery of any Aircraft is delayed as a result of an Excusable Delay
for a period of more than *** after the last day of the Scheduled Delivery
Month then either party may terminate this Agreement with respect to the
Aircraft so affected by giving written notice to the other party within
*** after the expiry of such *** period provided that the Buyer shall not
be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Clause if
the Excusable Delay results from a cause within its
control.
|
10.3.2
|
If
the Seller concludes that the Delivery of any Aircraft shall be delayed
for more than *** after the last day of the Scheduled Delivery Month due
to an Excusable Delay and as a result thereof reschedules Delivery of such
Aircraft to a date or month reflecting such delay then the Seller shall
promptly notify the Buyer in writing to this effect and shall include in
such notification the new Scheduled Delivery Month. Either party may
thereupon terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft by giving
written notice to the other party within *** after receipt by the Buyer of
the notice of anticipated delay.
|
10.3.3
|
If
this Agreement shall not have been terminated with respect to the delayed

Total
Loss, Destruction or Damage
|
|
If
prior to Delivery, any Aircraft is lost, destroyed or in the reasonable
opinion of the Seller is damaged beyond repair (“Total Loss”), the Seller
shall notify the Buyer to this effect within *** of such
occurrence. The Seller shall include in said notification (or
as soon after the issue of the notice as such information becomes
available to the Seller) the earliest date consistent with the Seller's
other commitments and production capabilities that an aircraft to replace
the Aircraft may be delivered to the Buyer and the Scheduled Delivery
Month shall be extended as specified in the Seller's notice to accommodate
the delivery of the replacement aircraft ; provided, however, that in the
event the specified extension of the Scheduled Delivery Month to a month
is exceeding *** after the last day of the original Scheduled Delivery
Month then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to said Aircraft
unless:
|
|
(i)
|
the
Buyer notifies the Seller within *** of the date of receipt of the
Seller's notice that it desires the Seller to provide a replacement
aircraft during the month quoted in the Seller’s notice;

(ii)
|
the
parties execute an amendment to this Agreement recording the variation in
the Scheduled Delivery Month;
|
|
provided,
however, that nothing herein shall require the Seller to manufacture and
deliver a replacement aircraft if such manufacture would require the
reactivation of its production line for the model or series of aircraft
which includes the Aircraft purchased
hereunder.
|
10.5
|
Termination
Rights Exclusive
|
|
In
the event that this Agreement shall be terminated as provided for under
the terms of Clauses 10.3 or 10.4, such termination shall discharge all
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder with respect to such
affected Aircraft and undelivered material, services, data or other items
applicable thereto and to be furnished hereunder and neither party shall
have any claim against the other for any loss resulting from such
non-delivery. The Seller shall in no circumstances have any liability
whatsoever for Excusable Delay other than as set forth in this Clause
10.

Clauses 2, 7 and 10) (the "Delivery Period") and
such delay is not as a result of an Excusable Delay or Total Loss (a

Seller shall 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 such
corrective action as may be feasible. The Buyer shall furnish to the Seller all
data and information in the Buyer's possession relevant to the Interface Problem
and shall cooperate with the Seller in the conduct of the Seller's
investigations and such tests as may be required.
At the

Seller shall seek a solution to the Interface Problem through cooperative
efforts of the Seller and any Supplier involved.
The
Seller shall promptly advise the Buyer of such corrective action as may be
proposed by the Seller and any such Supplier. Such proposal shall be consistent
with any then existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of any such
Supplier towards the Buyer. Such corrective action, when accepted by the Buyer,
shall constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Buyer may have against
either the Seller or any such Supplier with respect to such Interface
Problem.
