Dear Tom:

 

IAE is pleased to submit to JetBlue this Side Letter No. 13 to the Agreement (as defined below) in support of JetBlue’s firm purchase from Airbus of sixty-five (65) incremental A320 Aircraft powered by V2527-A5 Propulsion Systems (the “Incremental Firm Aircraft”), and its option to purchase fifty (50) A320 Aircraft powered by V2527-A5 Propulsion Systems (the “New Option Aircraft”, the Incremental Firm Aircraft and the New Option Aircraft are referred to collectively herein as the “Incremental Aircraft”), all for delivery in accordance with the delivery schedule set forth in Exhibit B-1 hereto.

 

The Incremental Aircraft shall constitute ‘Aircraft’ for all purposes under the Agreement, except as otherwise noted herein.  All other Firm Aircraft (not including the Firm Incremental Aircraft) that have not been delivered to JetBlue as of the date of this Side Letter shall be referred to herein as the “Existing Firm Aircraft.”  Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as those given to them in the V2500 General Terms of Sale Agreement between JetBlue Airways Corporation (“JetBlue”) and IAE International Aero Engines AG (“IAE”) dated May 4, 1999 (the “Agreement”).

9.                                       IAE hereby confirms that it will provide a second dedicated Customer Support Representative to JetBlue starting by the 1st quarter of 2003.  Such second representative will be at no charge, for so long as JetBlue operates sixty (60) or more V2500-A5 powered aircraft.  JetBlue will provide reasonable office facilities for the second Customer Support Representative and other accommodation and support equivalent to that provided to the existing customer support representative charge.

 

10.                                 IAE will immediately credit JetBlue’s spare parts account receivables with IAE prior to January 1, 2002 for the total net amount outstanding of approximately U.S.$ ***, provided that JetBlue agrees to an allocation of all its spare parts credits existing prior to that date against such outstanding account receivable amount.

 

11.                                 ***

 

12.                                 Flexibility Rights

 

12.1                           From and including calendar year *** Incremental Aircraft may be converted by JetBlue into a firm order for another model of aircraft (either A319-100 or A321-200 powered by V2500-A5 Propulsion Systems).

 

12.2

 

13.                                 Exclusivity

 

JetBlue agrees that until December 31, 2011 each Aircraft, including any Incremental Aircraft, and any further single aisle aircraft acquired by JetBlue to fill the mission carried out by such Aircraft, shall be powered by new V2500-A5 Propulsion Systems, except that such exclusivity shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event with respect to JetBlue or IAE as defined below.  Nothing in this Section 13 or in any other provision of this Side Letter No. 13, or the Agreement it is a part of, shall be construed to prevent JetBlue at any time from either (a) merging with any other airline, (b) acquiring a controlling interest in any other airline, or (c) acquiring all or substantially all the assets of any other airline, regardless of the type of aircraft and engines owned or operated by such other airline at the time of such merger or acquisition.  Moreover, in the event of such a merger or acquisition, nothing in this Section 8 or in any other provision of this Side Letter No. 13 shall be construed to prevent JetBlue from honoring any aircraft or engine purchase commitments entered into by such other airline prior to its merger with or acquisition by JetBlue.

EXHIBIT B-2

 

ESCALATION FORMULA I

 

1.                                       Any unit base price or other sum expressed to be subject to escalation from a base month to a month of delivery or other date of determination in accordance with the IAE Escalation Formula will be subject to escalation in accordance with the following formula:

 

P = Pb (***

L + ***

M + ***

E)

 

Lo

Mo

Eo

 

Where:

 

P                                         = the invoiced purchase price or escalated sum rounded to the nearest U.S. Dollar.

 

Pb                                  = unit base price or other sum.

 

Lo                                  = the “Average Hourly Earnings of Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Production Workers” SIC Code 3724  published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S. Department of Labor for the month preceding the base month by four months.

 

L                                         = the “Average Hourly Earnings of Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Production Workers” SIC Code 3724 for the month preceding the month of delivery or other date of determination by four months.

 

Mo                             = the “Producer Price Index, Code 10, for Metals and Metal Products” published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S. Department of Labor for the month preceding the base month by four months.

 

M                                    = the “Producer Price Index, Code 10, for Metals and Metal Products” for the month preceding the month of delivery or other date of determination by four months.

 

Eo                                  = the “Producer Price Index, Code 5, for Fuel and Related Products and Power” published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S. Department of Labor for the month preceding the base month by four months.

respectively, shall be determined to the nearest fourth decimal place.  If the fifth decimal is five or more, the fourth decimal place shall be raised to the next higher number.

 

3.                                       If the U.S. Department of Labor ceases to publish the above statistics or modifies the basis of their calculation, then IAE may substitute any officially recognized and substantially equivalent statistics.

 

4.                                       The Basic Contract Prices contained in this Exhibit B are subject to escalation from a Base Month of January 1999 to the month of delivery using Lo, Mo and Eo values for September 1998.

 

5.                                       If the application of the formula contained in this Exhibit B results in a Purchase Price which is lower than the Basic Contract Price, the Basic Contract Price will be deemed to be the Purchase Price for such Supplies.

ESCALATION FORMULA II

 

1.               Any unit base price or other sum expressed to be subject to escalation from a base month to a month of delivery or other date of determination in accordance with the IAE Escalation Formula will be subject to escalation in accordance with the following formula:

 

Pi

 

=

 

(Pb+F) x CPI where:

 

 

 

 

 

Pi

 

=

 

the invoiced purchase price or escalated sum rounded to the nearest U.S. Dollar.

 

 

 

 

 

Pb

 

=

 

unit base price or other sum.

 

 

 

 

 

F

 

=

 

*** (N)(Pb)

 

 

 

 

 

N

 

=

 

the calendar year of scheduled delivery or other date of determination minus 2003

 

 

 

 

 

CPI

 

=

 

*** (L) + *** (M)

 

 

 

 

 

L

 

=

 

Labor Ratio defined below

 

 

 

 

 

M

 

=

 

Material Ratio defined below

 

 

 

 

 

IAE’s Composite Price Index (“CPI”) is the sum of *** percent of the Labor ratio and *** percent of the Material Ratio, with the sum rounded to the nearest ten thousandth.

 

 

 

 

 

The quarterly value published for the Employment Cost Index will be deemed to apply to each month of the quarter.

 

 

 

 

 

The Labor Ratio is the “Employment Cost Index (ECI) Wages and Salaries for Aircraft Manufacturing, SIC Code 3721” as published at the time of scheduled engine delivery by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the month of scheduled delivery for each engine/equipment; divided by the value of SIC Code 3721 for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the base month.

The Material Ratio is the “Producer Price Indexes, Industrial Commodities” as published at the time of scheduled engine delivery by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the month of scheduled delivery for each engine/equipment; divided by the value for Industrial Commodities for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the base month

 

 

 

 

 

For a given month, the escalation shall be computed by using the applicable Index value, which the Bureau has published as the time of delivery or other date of determination.

 

2.                                       If the U.S. Department of Labor changes the base year for determination of the Index values as defined above, such re-based values will be incorporated in the escalation calculation.

 

3.                                       If the U.S. Department of Labor revises the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the CPI or, for any reason, has not released values needed to determine the CPI, IAE, in its sole discretion, shall select a substitute for such values from data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or otherwise make revisions to the escalation formula such that the escalation will as closely as possible approximate the result that would have been attained by continuing the use of the original escalation formula and values as they may have fluctuated during the applicable time period.

 

4.                                       The invoiced purchase price, which in no event shall be less than the unit base price, shall be the final price.  If the calculated sum of L + M is less than 1.0000, then the value of the sum is adjusted to 1.0000.
