Customer will make reasonable efforts to provide to GE the flight hours and cycles flown by each Engine serial number for the previous month by the fifth (5th) Day of each month, but no later than the tenth (10th) Day of each month. Concurrently, GE and/or the Customer will provide to the other Party data on the Take-off Derate, Climb Derate, Adaptive Derate, and the Static Temperature Adjusted to Sea Level temperature for each flight for each Engine in the previous month. |
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
GE Designated: -CONFIDENTIAL- 6
Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page
Using this data, GE will determine the average flight leg, annualized utilization, average Static Temperature Adjusted to Sea Level, and average Adaptive Derate for each Engine for the previous month.
The Current Escalated Rate Per EFH for each Engine will be adjusted in accordance with the Price Adjustment Matrix based on these parameters. This rate, multiplied by the total EFH for each Engine elapsed in the prior month, will be provided to the Customer in the monthly invoice and Customer will make payment no later than [***], whichever is sooner.
6.1.1 | Adaptive Derate – For the purposes of this provision, the Adaptive Derate is derived from the Take-off Derate and Climb Derate at 20,000 feet altitude for each flight using the Table 6.1 below. The average of all Adaptive Derate values for each Engine shall be used in determining the adjusted Rate Per EFH Payments in 6.1. When the actual operating parameters do not precisely equal the values on the tables, Adaptive Derate will be calculated by performing linear interpolation within the tables’ closest stated values to the actual derate values. Two-dimensional linear interpolation will be applied, as necessary, and the resultant Adaptive Derate value will be rounded to 2 decimal places. |
[***]
6.1.2 | Annualized Utilization - For the purposes of this provision the “annualized utilization” for a particular month will be calculated by (i) dividing the hours flown by the relevant Engine in the relevant month by the days in that particular month and (ii) multiplying that figure by three hundred and sixty-five point two five (365.25). In no event will Customer be charged Rate Per Flight Hour payments for Engines that are uninstalled, installed on Aircraft in maintenance per Customer’s maintenance program, undergoing modification or unable to be flown due to AAA restriction. Additionally, the annualized utilization calculation will be prorated for Engines that enter commercial revenue service for any day other than the 1st of the month. |
6.1.3 | Static Air Temperature adjusted to Sea Level shall be collected for every available takeoff using GE flight diagnostics data. If takeoff flight diagnostics data is not available for a given flight, static airport temperature and airport altitude shall be obtained from the ADM database using Customer airport city-pair data. |
6.2 | Annual EFH Minimum. [***]. |
6.3 | Supplemental Work Services Payments. |
a. | Initial Invoice. Upon completion of Supplemental Work Services, GE will issue an initial invoice for the estimated cost of the Services which Customer will pay [***] of the date of invoice. All invoices shall be payable by Customer in arrears in satisfaction of GE’s performance of Supplemental Work Services. |
b. | Final Invoice. Following Redelivery, GE will issue a final invoice for Supplemental Work Services based on actual charges to complete the Services, including any credits due Customer. Such invoice will be reconciled with the initial invoice and Customer’s payment. Customer will pay the final invoice within [***] of the date of the invoice. All invoices shall be payable by Customer in arrears in satisfaction of GE’s performance of Supplemental Work Services. |
6.4 | Additional Payment Terms. Should Customer fail to make any payment when due, GE may charge a fee for late payment at a rate equal to the [***], compounded daily on any unpaid balance commencing on the next Day after the payment due date until such time as the payment |
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
GE Designated: -CONFIDENTIAL- 7
Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page
plus the late payment charges are received by GE in full. Payments will be applied to any late payment fees then to the oldest outstanding amounts in order of succession. If Customer fails to make payment, which is not the subject of a good faith dispute, and does not cure such failure within ten (10) business Days of a notice to cure received from GE, GE may terminate or suspend performance of all or any portion of this Agreement. In the event Customer’s account becomes delinquent or Customer’s credit status negatively changes, different terms of payment or other commercially acceptable assurances of payment may be agreed by the Parties. In the event of a bona fide dispute regarding any amount to be paid pursuant to any invoice, or any portion thereof, Customer shall within fifteen (15) business Days of receipt of such invoice give written notice to GE of such disputed invoice, or dispute portion thereof, together with reasonable substantiation of such dispute and any supporting documentation. GE and Customer shall use their respective best efforts and allocate sufficient resources to resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) business Days or as soon as practicable thereafter. In the event the Parties fail to resolve any such disputed invoice within such period, the dispute shall be resolved by designating senior managers to reach a resolution. Upon resolution, GE shall credit Customer, or Customer shall pay to GE, as applicable, the settled amount of the disputed portion of the invoice within seven (7) business Days. For clarification, Customer shall be required to pay the undisputed portion of any invoice in accordance with the payment terms for undisputed invoices set forth in this Agreement. To the extent Customer complies with the requirements of this Article 6.4, GE shall not charge a fee for late payment, as set forth above, during that period of time such amount is disputed by the Parties.
6.5 | Remittance. All payments under this Agreement will be made in United States Dollars, immediately available for use, without any right of set-off or deduction, via wire transfer by Customer to the bank account and address designated below: |

GE may provide Services at a location other than a Repair Station including performance or repairs on-wing or on-site. If GE changes the Repair Station, Customer’s obligations under this Agreement will be no greater than if Services were performed at an ARS. |
7.7 | ARS and Repair Stations – Customer Approval. Any Repair Station, including any ARS, shall be approved by customer before any services are rendered. |
7.8 | Subcontracting. All Services performed under this Agreement will be performed by GE or its designated subcontractors at maintenance and repair facilities that are properly licensed and certified by the Approved Aviation Authority (AAA) to perform the Services. GE will obtain Customer’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed prior to subcontracting Services on an entire Engine assembly. However, GE shall not be required to obtain Customer’s consent to subcontract Services on individual components of an Engine. If GE does subcontract Services, the Customer obligations under this Agreement will be no greater than if such Services were performed at the ARS. Customer will, at its sole expense, have the right to review GE's quality system audit report(s) for such subcontractor(s). Subcontracting of any Services will not relieve GE of its performance obligations set forth in this Agreement. |
7.9 | Parts Replacement Procedures. |
a. | Missing or Damaged Parts at Delivery. Upon Delivery, GE will notify Customer as soon as reasonably practical of any (A) components or LRU’s missing from Engines, and (B) parts found to have been damaged during transportation of the Engine. |

Such CFE is subject to a material handling fee in accordance with Supplemental Work Services pricing in Exhibit E. |
e. | Title to Parts or Material. GE furnished parts and material incorporated into an Engine will be deemed to have been sold to Customer and title to such parts and material will pass to Customer upon incorporation into such Engine. Risk of loss or damage to such parts and material will pass to Customer upon Redelivery of the Engine. Title to and risk of loss of any parts removed from the Engine that are replaced by other parts (including Repairable parts) will pass to GE upon incorporation of replacement parts into the Engine, except where such parts are replaced pursuant to Supplemental Work Services, in which case title to parts with a CLP in excess of $5,000 per part will remain with Customer. Prior to an Engine leaving the ARS, Customer must arrange for the transfer and/or disposition of such parts. Failure of Customer to arrange for the disposition of such parts will result in GE transporting such parts to Customer at Customer’s expense, or scrapping such parts. |
f. | Scrapped Parts. GE will dispose of all Scrapped Parts (title to which has passed to GE in accordance with Article 7.7.e above) at its sole expense and without any further adjustment to Customer. |
7.10 | New Technology.

provided under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and pricing set forth herein; and (ii) Customer may disclose the same to its affiliates, subsidiaries and subcontractors, subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those in this Agreement and in no event shared with another aircraft engine manufacturer.

7.1 Intellectual Property
7.2 GE shall at its sole cost (i) indemnify Customer against any loss or damage incurred and (ii) handle all claims and defend any suit or proceeding brought against Customer insofar as based on a claim that any Engine or Part thereof or any Product (as defined in the GTA and which terms include without limitation any software) or any material or process used in the maintenance, repair or overhaul of any item to which this Agreement relates, without any alteration or further combination, constitutes an infringement of any Intellectual Property Right of any other party. The indemnity applies to any such claim arising in any country that is signatory to Article 27 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation signed by the United States at Chicago on December 7, 1944, in which Customer is authorized to operate or in which another airline pursuant to lawful interchange, lease or similar arrangement, operates aircraft of Customer.
7.3 Liability. GE's liability under this Section 7 is expressly conditioned upon Customer promptly notifying GE in writing and giving GE exclusive authority, information and assistance (at GE expense) for the handling, defense or settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding. In case such material or process is held in such suit to constitute infringement and the use of said material or process is enjoined, GE will, at GE's own expense and at GE's option, either, (1) settle or defend such claim or suit or proceeding arising therefrom, or (2) procure for Customer the right to continue using said material or process in the item repaired under this Agreement, or (3) replace or modify such item with an item incorporating non-infringing material or process.
7.4 Indemnification. The preceding Section 7.2 will not apply: (1) to any material or process or part thereof of Customer design or specification, or used at Customer’s direction in any repair under this Agreement, or (2) to the use of any material or process furnished under this Agreement in conjunction with any other apparatus, article, material or process. As to any material or process or use described in the preceding sentence, GE assumes no liability whatsoever for patent or copyright infringement, and Customer will, in the same manner as GE is obligated to Customer above, indemnify, defend and hold GE harmless from and against any claim or liability, including costs and expense in defending any such claim or liability in respect thereto.
7.5 Remedy. THE FOREGOING WILL CONSTITUTE CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY AND GE’S SOLE LIABILITY FOR PATENT OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT BY ANY MATERIAL OR PROCESS AND IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN SECTION 1, “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.”
7.6 In this Article 10 the term “Intellectual Property Right” means any patent, copyright, trademark, design right or any other intellectual property right arising under applicable law.
8.1 LIENS
8.2 Mechanics Lien. Customer hereby acknowledges that GE has the right to file a mechanic’s lien under applicable state law in the event Customer fails to make timely payment as required in this Agreement and fails to cure such failure as provided in the Agreement.
8.3 Enforcement. If Customer fails to tender any payment owing under this Agreement and GE initiates foreclosure with respect to any Engine, pursuant to a mechanic’s lien, then Customer agrees to supply to GE all records, log books and other documentation pertaining to the maintenance condition of the Engine, and a certificate either (i) certifying that the Engine has not been involved in any Aircraft Accident or Aircraft Incident or (ii) specifying the date and facts surrounding
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
GE Designated: -CONFIDENTIAL- 34
Subject to restrictions on the cover or first page
any Aircraft Accident or Aircraft Incident in which the Engine has been involved and the nature and extent of the damage sustained (such records, log books, certificate and other documentation referred to hereinafter as the “Engine Documents”). The Parties recognize that the failure by Customer to deliver the Engine Documents may have a material, adverse effect on the value of any Engine with respect to which foreclosure has been initiated by GE and the ability of GE to sell or lease the Engine, and that the damages GE may sustain as a result are not readily calculable.
9.1 GENERAL PROVISIONS
9.2 Assignment. This Agreement, any related purchase order or any rights or obligations hereunder may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that Customer’s consent will not be required for an assignment by GE to one of GE’s affiliates. In the event of any such substitution, Customer will be so advised in writing. Any assignment in contradiction of this clause will be considered null and void. Notwithstanding the above, GE may assign any of its accounts receivable under this Agreement to any party without Customer’s consent.
9.3 Governing Law, Waiver of Immunity. The Agreement will be interpreted and applied in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of law or conflict of law provisions, rules or procedures (except to the extent that the validity, perfection or creation of any lien or security interest hereunder and the exercise of rights or remedies with respect of such lien or security interest for a particular item of equipment are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than New York). With respect to any Customer who is incorporated or based outside the United States, to the extent that such Customer or any of its property becomes entitled at any time to any immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding of any nature, Customer hereby irrevocably waives the application of such immunity and particularly, the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. 1602, et. seq., insofar as such immunity relates to Customer's rights and obligations in connection with this Agreement.
9.4 Savings Clause. If any portion of this Agreement will be determined to be a violation of or contrary to any controlling law, rule or regulation issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that portion will be unenforceable in such jurisdiction. However, the balance of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
9.5 Beneficiaries. Except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement are for the Parties’ mutual benefit and not for the benefit of any third party.
9.6 Controlling Language. The English language will be used in the interpretation and performance of this Agreement. All correspondence and documentation arising out of or connected with this Agreement and any related purchase order(s), including Engine records and Engine logs, will be in the English language.
9.7 Non-Waiver of Rights and Remedies. Any failure or delay in the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder will not operate to waive or impair such rights or remedies. Any waiver given will not be construed to require future or further waivers.
9.8 Titles/Subtitles. The titles and subtitles given to the articles and sections of this Agreement are for convenience. They do not limit or restrict the context of the article or section to which they relate.
9.9 Currency Judgment. This is an international transaction in which the specification of United States Dollars is of the essence. No payments required to be made under this Agreement will be discharged by payments in any currency other than United States Dollars, whether pursuant to a judgment, arbitration award or otherwise.
9.10 No Agency Fees. Customer represents and warrants that no officer, employee, representative or agent of Customer has been or will be paid a fee or otherwise has received or will receive any personal compensation or consideration by or from GE in connection with the obtaining, arranging or negotiation of this Agreement or other documents entered into or executed in connection herewith.
9.11 On-Site Representative. Subject to the following conditions, GE agrees to permit one Designated Representative, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, to enter onto its premises at an Approved Repair Station for the purpose of supporting the Services on Engines. GE will furnish such Designated Representative the use of a non-exclusive workspace, including the use of a local telephone line and parking accommodations. Costs incurred by such Designated Representative, including long distance telephone charges, fax or computer charges will be the responsibility of Customer, and if charged to GE in the first instance, will be invoiced to Customer.

9.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with its Exhibits, contains and constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties hereto respecting the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and cancels all previous negotiations, agreements, representations and writings in connection herewith.

9.15 Governmental Authorization. Customer will be the importer and/or exporter of record and will be responsible for timely obtaining any import license, export license, exchange permit or other required governmental authorization relating to the Engine. At Customer’s request and expense, GE will assist Customer in its application for any required
U.S. export licenses. GE will not be liable if any authorization is not renewed or is delayed, denied, revoked or restricted, and Customer will not thereby be relieved of its obligation to pay for Services performed by GE. All transported Engines will be subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and/or International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Customer agrees not to dispose of U.S. origin items provided by GE other than in and to the country of ultimate destination and/or as identified in an approved government license or authorization, except as said laws and regulations may permit.
