  (b) If the Scheduled Redelivery Date of a Contract Aircraft changes as a result of a delay to performance of the Services as a result of a delay in payment, such delay shall not exceed the number of days of work stoppage pursuant to clause (a) above, and shall be treated as a Customer Variation in accordance with Clause 6.4 under which Supplier will advise Customer of any impact on the Scheduled Redelivery Date and the Conversion Price and the costs (which shall not exceed [*] per day), if any, associated therewith (except that Customer cannot withdraw the Variation unless agreed by Supplier). Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 6.4, Customer shall pay M&B and Supplier for all costs associated with any such delay.

 

  (c) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement M&B and/or Supplier becomes entitled to, and elects to, cease the performance of this Agreement Supplier shall, at Customer’s cost and expense as set forth below, take all reasonable measures to store, preserve and protect any Contract Aircraft which are located on the Supplier Site or another Designated Site and have yet to be Redelivered.

Schedule 8

Warranty

SECTION 1 SCOPE OF WARRANTY

In relation to any goods or services provided by Supplier in relation to the Services or any Extra Work provided in connection with this Agreement (such Services and such Extra Work, the “Warranty Services”) where the goods or services do not comply with the details of the Specification or are not fit for their intended purpose, whether in consequence of faulty design, faulty materials, bad workmanship, negligence or any other reason attributable to Supplier or its employees, contractors or sub-contractors or suppliers or the employees, contractors, subcontractors or suppliers of any of them, it shall constitute a defect (“Defect”) and “Defective” shall be construed accordingly.

Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 below, Supplier warrants to Customer (this “Warranty”) that:

 

1.1 Upon Redelivery by Supplier, a Contract Aircraft shall qualify for, without further work, and Supplier shall cause to be issued by the Civil Aviation Authorities, an Airworthiness Certificate as a freighter aircraft in accordance with Customer’s designated configuration and Specification (as amended by prior written agreement of the Parties); and

 

1.2 Warranty Services performed by Supplier on a Contract Aircraft or part, accessory, equipment or component installed on a Contract Aircraft shall conform to the Specification; and

 

1.3 The Warranty Services shall be free from:

 

  (a) Defects in workmanship (including selection of materials and process of manufacturing by Supplier, its contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, and installation) for a period of [*] (but only [*] in respect of the Paint Services, if any and Components) after Redelivery of such Contract Aircraft to Customer; and

 

  (b) design Defects only with respect to the Conversion Services performed on a Contract Aircraft structure specifically designed by Supplier, its contractors or subcontractors for the service life of such Contract Aircraft.;

 

  (c) without limiting 1.3(b) above, Defects with respect to the Conversion Services performed on an Contract Aircraft structure and any other items specifically designed by Supplier, its contractors or subcontractors for a period of [*] after Redelivery of such Contract Aircraft to Customer; and

 

CAM Conversion Agreement

Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for

confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

  (d) Defects with respect to any Warranty Services, other than Conversion Services performed on a Contract Aircraft structure, inclusive of the accessories, equipment, parts or components installed on a Contract Aircraft, for the first to occur of (i) [*] following Redelivery of such Contract Aircraft to Customer; or (ii) the next scheduled maintenance check covering such Warranty Services.

Each of the periods of Warranty applicability referred to in paragraphs 1.3(a) to 1.3(c) above are defined as a “Warranty Period”.

 

1.4 It is understood that, if Supplier is able, using its reasonable endeavours, to assign an applicable OEM warranty to Customer with respect to an accessory, equipment, part or component that is at least equal in scope and benefit to this Warranty (an “OEM Warranty”) and such OEM Warranty is assigned to Customer, then Customer shall pursue its warranty rights under such OEM Warranty in addition to pursuing its rights under this Warranty, and any compensation or relief provided to Customer under that OEM Warranty shall reduce Supplier’s obligations under this Warranty.

SECTION 2 WARRANTY WORK

 

2.1 Supplier undertakes to complete, at its cost and expense, with respect to any Defect reasonably demonstrated to be a Defect covered by this Warranty and with respect to which Supplier has received notice from Customer at any time during the applicable Warranty Period, any repairs, replacements or corrections required by exercise of this Warranty by Customer (including engineering design, preparation of parts, materials and kits required and the installation thereof) or which is required by the Civil Aviation Authorities or otherwise relating to the Warranty Services (“Warranty Work”).

 

2.2 Customer may request that Warranty Work be conducted at another repair facility approved in writing in advance by Supplier (an “Alternative Repair Facility”). Supplier shall respond promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days, to any request by Customer to conduct Warranty Work at an Alternative Repair Facility. Upon written request by Customer, Supplier shall promptly deliver, at its cost and expense, to the designated Alternative Repair Facility, all material necessary to correct any Defect related to the Warranty Services in accordance with this Agreement and any applicable Civil Aviation Authority requirements, within the time period allocated by the Civil Aviation Authority, if and as applicable, and pay for all labour and redelivery charges.

 

2.3 If Supplier shall not approve of such other repair facility, it may send a field team to the location of a Contract Aircraft to perform Warranty Work at no cost to Customer.

 

2.4 Supplier may send appropriate representatives to supervise all Warranty Work performed at the cost and expense of Supplier.

2.5 In performing its obligations under this Warranty, Supplier shall, in all events, use its best commercial efforts to perform or to secure the performance of Warranty Work (including any replacements of Defective accessories, equipment, parts or components as permitted under Section 3 below) as promptly as reasonably possible and with the least reasonable disruption to Customer’s (or its lessee’s or Aircraft Operator’s) operations. Without limiting the foregoing, Supplier shall commence work, or cause work to be commenced, to repair or replace any Defect within twenty-four (24) hours following either Supplier’s acceptance of the relevant claim as a Valid Warranty Claim or a Third Party Expert Warranty Determination that the relevant claim is a Valid Warranty Claim. In addition, at the request of Customer and with the consent of Supplier, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Supplier will commence work, or cause work to be commenced, to repair or replace any Defect prior to the acceptance or determination of the relevant claim as a Valid Warranty Claim, provided that the reasonable cost of such work shall be reimbursed by Customer to Supplier if the claim is ultimately determined not to be a Valid Warranty Claim.

SECTION 3 WARRANTY WORK FOR OTHER SERVICES

 

3.1 During the Warranty Periods at paragraph 1.3(a) to 1.3(d) Supplier undertakes at Supplier’s option, either to repair such Defect in the accessory, equipment, part or component in which the Defect appears, or, to replace such accessory, equipment, part or component with a similar item free from Defects.

SECTION 4 WARRANTY WORK AT SUPPLIER’S EXPENSE

 

4.1 All Warranty Work shall be performed by Supplier at its expense, and with reasonable care and skill.

 

4.2 The freight charge for the return shipment by Customer to Supplier of items and the reasonable ferry costs of Aircraft, in which there is a Defect which is the subject of Warranty Work shall be at Customer’s expense; provided that, if it is confirmed prior to the shipment that there is a Defect in such items, Supplier shall pay such charges and costs, and, if it is confirmed after the shipment that there is such a Defect, Supplier shall reimburse to Customer the charges and costs promptly upon Supplier’s receipt of an invoice from Customer. All Warranty Work shall be performed by Supplier or an Alternative Repair Facility at Supplier’s expense at the Supplier Site or an Alternative Repair Facility, and Customer shall at Supplier’s option either:

 

  (a) return to Supplier, at the Supplier Site, a Contract Aircraft and/or the accessory, equipment, part or component (as the case may be); or

  (b) have the accessory, equipment, part or component repaired and installed or a replacement accessory, equipment, part or component supplied by Supplier installed at an Alternative Repair Facility;

provided, however, in the event any Warranty claim made by Customer under this Warranty is determined not to be a Valid Warranty claim (as defined in paragraph 9.5(a)) whether such determination is made by the Parties or the Third Party Expert (as defined in paragraph 9.4(a)(i)) or Supplier (and accepted by Customer without submission to a Third Party Expert) (in which case Supplier shall have provided to Customer written substantiation of its findings), all the direct costs associated therewith, including, but not limited to, freight, insurance and testing, shall be borne by Customer.

 

4.3 If a Warranty claim by Customer hereunder is determined to be a Valid Warranty Claim, Supplier shall be responsible for the freight charge for the return shipment of items and the reasonable return ferry costs of Aircraft, in which there is a Defect which is the subject of Warranty Work (or of any replacements therefor) from Supplier or an Alternative Repair Facility to Customer, and Supplier shall bear all risks of such shipment of items (but not the risks with respect to the ferry of an Aircraft). If a Warranty claim is determined not to be a Valid Warranty Claim, Customer shall be responsible for all such freight charges and ferry costs, and for all risks of such shipment or ferry.

SECTION 5 CUSTOMER-FURNISHED EQUIPMENT EXCLUDED

 

5.1 This Warranty only applies to Defects in Customer-Furnished Equipment, to the extent that Supplier warrants that the workmanship incorporated in the installation of Customer-Furnished Equipment shall be free of Defects.
