2.1 | Specification Documents | |
2.1.1 | The Aircraft will be manufactured in accordance with the applicable Specification. | |
2.1.2 | Specification Change Notice | |
The Specification may be amended in writing by the Buyer and the Seller by a Specification Change Notice in substantially the form set out in Exhibit B-1 (each, an “SCN”). An SCN will set out the SCN’s effectivity and the particular change to be made to the Specification and the effect, if any, of such change on design, performance, weight, Scheduled Delivery Month of the Aircraft affected thereby, interchangeability or replaceability requirements of the Specification and text of the Specification. An SCN may result in an adjustment of the Base Price of the Aircraft, which adjustment, if any, will be specified in the SCN. SCNs will not be binding on either party until signed by persons duly authorized by the Buyer and the Seller, but upon being so signed, will constitute amendments to this Agreement. | ||
2.1.3 | Manufacturer Specification Change Notice | |
The Specification may also be amended in writing by the Seller by a Manufacturer’s Specification Change Notice. Each MSCN will be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit B-2 and will set out the MSCN’s effectivity and the particular change to be made to the Specification and the effect, if any, of such change on design, performance, weight, Scheduled Delivery Month of the Aircraft affected thereby, interchangeability or replaceability requirements of the Specification and text of the Specification. MSCNs will be subject to the Buyer’s acceptance, except in the case of Development Changes (as defined below) or changes resulting from Airworthiness Directives, government-mandated regulations arising after the date of the Specification or equipment obsolescence. | ||
2.1.4 | Development Changes | |
As stated in Clause 2.1.3, changes may be made by the Seller without the Buyer’s consent when changes to the Aircraft do not adversely affect price, Scheduled Delivery Month, weight of the Aircraft affected thereby, ** interchangeability requirements or replaceability requirements of the Specifications of the Aircraft affected thereby are deemed by the Seller to be necessary to improve the Aircraft affected thereby, prevent delay or ensure compliance with this Agreement (“Development Changes”). Development Changes will be made by either an MSCN or a manufacturer’s information document prior to Delivery of the relevant Aircraft. |

(v) | Credit. The Buyer’s sole remedy, and the Seller’s sole obligation and liability, in respect of In-house Warranty Repair claims, will be a credit to the Buyer’s account. Such credit will be equal to the sum of the direct labor cost expended in performing such repair and the direct cost of materials incorporated in the repair. Such costs will be determined as set forth below. |
(a) | To determine direct labor costs, only the labor hours spent on **, disassembly, inspection, repair, reassembly, and final inspection and test **of the Warranted Part alone will be counted. The hours required for maintenance work concurrently being carried out on the Aircraft or Warranted Part will not be included. | ||
(b) | The labor hours counted as set forth above will be multiplied by the In-house Warranty Labor Rate. Such rate is deemed to represent the Buyer’s composite average hourly labor rate paid to the Buyer’s employees or to a third party that the Buyer has authorized to perform the repair, whose jobs, in both cases, are directly related to the performance of the repair. This labor rate is US$** (US dollars **) at economic conditions prevailing in ** (the “In-house Warranty Labor Rate”). | ||
The In-house Warranty Labor Rate is subject to adjustment annually by multiplying the same by the ratio ECIn/ECIb. For the purposes of this Clause 12.1.8(v) only, ECIn is equal to the Labor Index defined in the Seller Price Revision Formula for January of the year in which the hours are spent and ECIb is equal to such Labor Index for **. | |||
(c) | Direct material costs are determined by the prices at which the Buyer acquired such replacement material, excluding any parts and materials used for overhaul or repair furnished free of charge by the Seller. |
(vi) | Limitation on Credit. The Buyer will in no event be credited for repair costs (including labor and material) for any Warranted Part to the extent that such repair costs exceed, the lower of, (x) ** of the Seller’s then current catalog price for a replacement of such Warranted Part ** | ||
The Seller will substantiate the costs referred to in Clause 12.1.8(vi)(y) in writing on reasonable request by the Buyer. |

(ii) | If the Seller corrects a defect covered by Clause 12.1.1(iii) that becomes apparent within the Warranty Period, on the written request of the Buyer the Seller will correct any such defect in any Aircraft that has not already been delivered to the Buyer. Subject to the provisions of Clause 8 to the Agreement, the Seller will not be responsible for, nor deemed to be in default on account of, any delay in Delivery of any Aircraft or otherwise, in respect of performance of this Agreement, due to the Seller’s undertaking to make such correction. In the alternative, the Buyer and the Seller may agree to deliver such Aircraft with 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 though the defect had become apparent immediately after Delivery of such Aircraft. ** | ||
(iii) | If a defect that would otherwise be covered under this Clause 12 becomes apparent and the Buyer has complied with the requirements of Clause 12, and the Seller has no then available correction for the defect and the Seller believes the defect can reasonably be expected to affect all or a substantial portion of the Aircraft, then the Buyer will be deemed to have given notice of such defect for all Aircraft that thereafter experience such defect. |
