(A) | Services Not charged at a T3 Rate |

(2) | Supplemental Work Payments. Supplier shall issue an invoice for Services performed on a Supplemental Work basis as soon as practicable following Redelivery of an item of Equipment. Such invoice shall reflect the total charges owed by Customer to complete the Supplemental Work. | |||
(3) | Payment Terms. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule, Customer shall pay each such invoice within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. If any payment date falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment that is otherwise due shall instead be due the next business day. |
(B) | Services Charged at a T3 Rate |
(1) | T3 Payments. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule, Customer shall remit to Supplier, no later than the fifth (5) day of each month, a schedule of the actual AFHs and cycles for each Aircraft for the preceding month (as provided in paragraph (2) below). Supplier shall then submit an invoice to Customer for the performance of T3 Program services for such preceding month. Customer shall pay such invoice within ten (10) days of receipt of such invoice. In the event Customer fails to pay the full amount of a monthly T3 Rate payment on or before the such tenth ,day, then all Services performed on Equipment from such tenth day to, and including, the day Customer shall have paid in full all outstanding T3 Rate payments (herein, the Short Fall Period and Customers Make-Whole Payment, respectively), shall be performed by Supplier, and paid for by Customer, on a Supplemental Work basis (i.e., time and materials); provided, further, that, at such time that Customer intends to make Customers Make-Whole Payment, Customer may credit against such Payment (and such Payment shall be deemed to have been made to the extent of such credit) the aggregate of the payments it made during the Shortfall Period in respect of Services performed during the Shortfall Period; and provided, further, that, in the event the Short Fall Period continues for another twenty-one (21) days, Supplier, in its sole and absolute discretion, may suspend the performance of the Services under the applicable Schedule and declare Customer to be in default of such Schedule, all other Schedules that have been signed by the Parties and the General Terms |
13
Agreement. Supplier shall then have the right to enforce all of its legal and equitable rights in respect of such declared default. | ||||
During the first and last years of this Agreement as Aircraft are delivered or redelivered as the case may be, Customer shall pay Supplier for Components the rate applicable to the 961-1,400 annual AFHs Payment Per Flight Hour and for Engines, the applicable rate in Schedule 2 of this Agreement. However, since during the first and last years of this Agreement, not all Aircraft will be in service for an entire calendar year, the Reconciliation shall be done by taking the actual AFHs per Aircraft since entry into service and annualizing the average Aircraft fleet AFHs as if the Aircraft had been in service for the entire calendar year. | ||||
When Aircraft are delivered to Customer from Lessor during the first year of this Agreement, there will be a lag (one month) between the time of delivery and when each of the Aircraft is placed into revenue service. During this lag time, Customer shall pay Supplier in accordance with the preceding paragraph, however, the lag time shall not be included in determining the Reconciliation. | ||||
(2) | Actual Flight Hours per Aircraft. For each Aircraft covered by a Schedule whose payment for services pursuant to this Agreement is determined by Flight Hours, Customer, no later than the fifth business day of each calendar month, including in respect of the last calendar month during the term of such Schedule, shall report to Supplier via facsimile (or other form of electronic communication) the actual flight hours flown by such Aircraft during the preceding calendar month (AFH). Customer shall pay Supplier, in accordance with this Agreement, the actual AFHs flown for the preceding month multiplied by (i) for Components, the rate applicable to 961-1,400 annual AFHs Payment Per Flight Hour, and (ii) for Engines, the rate applicable to flight hours/cycles 1.5/1 in Schedule 2 of this Agreement. If the flight hours/cycle (flown per year) does not match the table rates in Schedule 2 para. 5.12, deviations and pricing will be calculated on a linear basis. | |||
(3) | Reconciliation. No later than the fifteenth business day after the end of each calendar year of performance under each Schedule, Supplier shall compare: |
14
i) | the actual total AFH reported during such previous calendar year for all Aircraft with 960, the guaranteed minimum Flight Hours per Aircraft per year on a fleet average basis (the Guaranteed AFH). If the Guaranteed AFH times the number of aircraft operated during the preceding calendar year exceeds the total Flight Hours invoiced during such period, Supplier shall invoice Customer and Customer shall pay Supplier an amount equal to the difference between the Guaranteed AFH times the number of aircraft operated during the preceding calendar year times the applicable escalated Flight Hour Rate in effect for such period and the total amount invoiced during such period. Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefore. If the Guaranteed AFH times the number of aircraft operated during the preceding calendar year is less than the total AFH invoiced during such period, Supplier (In regards to Components Services only) shall credit Customer with an amount equal to the difference between the product of the total actual Flight Hours flown by the Customers fleet during such period times the applicable escalated Flight Hour Rate in effect for such period and the total amount invoiced during such period. Such credit shall be made against the following months charges. | |||
ii) | The actual average Flight Hours per cycle reported during such calendar year for all Aircraft with the Flight Hours per cycle listed in Schedule 2 Para. 5.12.1 of this agreement. If the actual average Flight Hours per cycle reported during such calendar year for all Aircraft differs from the Flight Hours per cycle listed in Schedule 2 Para. 5.12.1 of this agreement, Supplier (In regards to Engine Services only) shall debit or credit Customer accordingly taking in consideration the conditions stipulated in Schedule 2 Para. 4 of this agreement |
(C) | Payments by GECAS. Upon the first Shop Visit of an item of Equipment under a Schedule, GECAS shall pay to Supplier (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified in Paragraph G below) a sum equal to the product of the applicable Flight Hour Rate times the number of Flight Hours of the Equipment, from (and including) such item of Equipments last Shop Visit before the first day of the Term of such Schedule to (and including) the day preceding the first day of the Term of such Schedule. | |||
(D) | Late Payment. In the event Customer fails to make payment within the specified time, then Supplier may charge a late payment fee at an annual rate equal to the then-current one (1) year London Inter Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for U.S. Dollar deposits, as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus five percent (5%), compounded daily on any unpaid balance commencing on the next calendar day after the payment due date until such time as the |
15
payment plus the late payment fee are received by Supplier. Payments and advance payments made pursuant to this Article X or any Schedule by Customer shall be applied to the oldest outstanding amounts owing to Supplier in order of succession. Suppliers obligation to provide any item of Equipment hereunder or under any Schedule shall be suspended during any period Customer fails to make payment within the specified time. | ||||
(E) | Customer shall not at any time withhold or deduct from any payment any sum by reason of any dispute as to the contents of any invoice delivered by or on behalf of Supplier or any default, breach or non-performance by Supplier of its obligations under this Agreement. | |||
(F) | In the event that Customer fails to make any payment on the due date thereof, then Supplier shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to it at any time in law or equity, suspend, withhold or reduce any or all further T3 Program Services until all and any outstanding sums plus interest thereon pursuant to paragraph (C) above have been paid in full. In the case of any such suspension by Supplier, Supplier shall (in addition to and without prejudice to any other remedy or relief available to it) be entitled to be paid any sum owing to it prior to such suspension. | |||
(G) | Payment Instruction. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in 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: |
