In either case, Airline (starting with a spare Basic Engine) will maintain a Spare Engine to installed Engine ratio of not less than [***] in support of the Aircraft and Leased Aircraft (as defined in paragraph 2 below). Specifically, Airline will take delivery of first spare Basic Engine with delivery of the [***] Aircraft or Leased Aircraft, take delivery of second Spare Engine with delivery of the [***] Aircraft or Leased Aircraft, and providing Airline takes delivery of additional Aircraft or Leased Aircraft, Airline will take delivery of third Spare Engine with delivery of the [***] Aircraft or Leased Aircraft and a fourth Spare Engine with delivery of the [***] Aircraft or Leased Aircraft.

2.
Airline may lease from lessor(s) additional new GEnx-1B powered [***], 787-9, or [***] aircraft (“Leased Aircraft”), which Airline will add to this Letter Agreement unless otherwise prohibited by the lessor. Paragraph B, Special Guarantees, are extended for up to [***] Leased Aircraft. If more than [***] Leased Aircraft are leased, then the [***] for those Leased Aircraft above the cap of [***] Leased Aircraft will be covered in a separate amendment to this Letter Agreement. [***]

A. Special Allowances

Otherwise, Aircraft Allowance will be made available to Airline within five (5) business days following receipt of written notice from Airline that it has taken delivery of each Aircraft in accordance with its purchase agreement with Airframer.
