     ARTICLE X      INVOICES AND PAYMENT

(A)   Services Not charged at a T3 Rate

  (1)   Services Payments. With respect to all Services that are not charged at a T3 Rate, except as otherwise provided in a Schedule, Customer shall pay within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of an invoice therefor.
 
  (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 “Customer’s 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 Customer’s 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 AFH’s 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 AFH’s per Aircraft since entry into service and annualizing the average Aircraft fleet AFH’s 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 AFH’s flown for the preceding month multiplied by (i) for Components, the rate applicable to 961-1,400 annual AFH’s 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 Customer’s 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 month’s 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 Equipment’s 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. Supplier’s 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.

The foregoing shall constitute the sole remedy of Customer and the sole liability of Supplier for repair of defective workmanship, relative to items of Equipment covered by this Article XV. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE).
 
  (B)   Supplier undertakes, with respect to each defect demonstrated to Supplier’s reasonable satisfaction to be a defect covered by this Warranty, either to repair such item of Equipment in which a defect appears, or, at Supplier’s option, to replace such accessory, item of Equipment or part with a similar item free from defects. All such repairs and replacements shall be performed by Supplier at Supplier’s expense, at a Repair Station and Customer shall Deliver to Supplier, at Customer’s Premises, the applicable item(s) of Equipment.

  (C)   This Warranty shall not apply to an item of Equipment that was not manufactured to Supplier’s detailed design, except that any defect in Supplier workmanship incorporated in the installation of such item that invalidates any applicable warranties from the manufacturers/suppliers thereof shall constitute a defect in workmanship for the purpose of this Warranty. Supplier shall transfer to Customer any applicable warranties provided by the manufacturers/suppliers for accessories, equipment or parts incorporated by Supplier into items of Equipment during the provision of Services.
 
  (D)   Warranty Limitations.

(4)   Objective
 
    This Schedule details the scope of the T3 Program Engine Services to be supplied by Supplier to the fourteen (14) Engines on Customer’s 737-300 SF Aircraft.
 
    Supplier shall perform the T3 Program Engine Services at the Site or at another FAA approved base maintenance facility approved in writing between the Parties from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the performance of T3 Program Engine Services at any such other FAA approved maintenance facilities shall not diminish Supplier’s obligations to Customer in respect thereof, as provided in this Schedule.
 
    Note: The provision of the T3 Program Engine Services on the terms, and subject to the conditions, contained in this Schedule is based on the assumption that the Engines will be operated (i) in the case of the 3B1 Engines, at 20,000 pounds of thrust; and (ii) in the case of the 3B2 Engines, at 22,000 pounds of thrust with a de-rate average of 10% or if operated as 3B1s, shall comply with (i) above, provided that all 3B2 Engines operating at such thrust which have a turbine control timer installed, must have it operational. (It is understood that 3B1 cannot be de-rated below 18,500 pounds of thrust).
 
5.   T3 Program Engine Services
 
5.1   Entry conditions for Customer’s 3B1 and 3B2 Engines:

  •   Minimum build-up requirement for each Engine entering the T3 Program shall be 3,000 remaining cycles at 20,000 and 22,000 pounds of thrust for the 3B1 and 3B2 Engines, respectively. Adjustment in price may be made if an Engine enters the Program with less than the minimum build-up requirement from its last shop visit.
 
  •   Each Engine must undergo a video borescope prior to entry into the T3 Program and pass with no restrictions or impediments in accordance with Manufacturer recommendations (no “on-wing watch on” items), to be performed by Supplier at its cost.
 
  •   Each Engine must have sufficient EGT margin (“EGTM”) for the remaining Cycles upon entry into the T3 Program, as follows:

5


 

                     
 
        Remaining Cycles     Minimum EGT margin  
        per Engine     on-wing at  
  Engine Type     nameplate     sea-level  
 
3B1 operated at 20K lbs. thrust
      3000       25 deg. C.  
 
3B2 operated at 20K lbs. thrust
      3000       25 deg. C.  
 
3B2 operated at 22K lbs. thrust
      3000       13 deg. C.  
 

      In respect of each Engine entering the T3 Program, for each additional 1,000 Cycles remaining, such Engine should have a sufficient EGTM to remain on-wing in accordance with standard rates of deterioration as published by CFMI.
 
      The EGTM for each Engine’s entry into the T3 Program shall be measured by either (1) SAGE Data on take-off or (2) Maximum Power Assurance (MPA) on-wing in accordance with the Manufacturer’s manual. If an Engine does not comply with the above entry conditions, then an adjustment in price may be made.
 
  •   Customer shall provide all relevant Engine documentation for each Engine prior to entry into the T3 Program, including records of all LLPs, TSLSV/CSLSV, TSN/CSN, SAGE Data, last shop visit records, list of SBs/ADs incorporated, and configuration data issued by CFMI, to the extent Customer has these in its possession or which are readily obtainable by Customer without unreasonable effort.
 
  •   Engines which have not undergone a shop visit prior to the Commencement Date of this Agreement or which have had their last shop visit performed by IAI or by a comparable shop facility approved by, and which is acceptable to IAI (such approval and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld by Supplier), shall be admitted to the T3 Program, subject to final evaluation by Supplier prior to receipt of an Engine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the most recent shop visit shall have been performed and monitored under the supervision of GECAS, this provision shall not apply.
 
  •   Engines that have undergone repairs at a third party and which are accepted into the T3 Program are subject to the right of Supplier to conduct a detailed evaluation. Such evaluation may include TSLSV/CSLSV, nature and extent of maintenance services performed at most recent shop visit, Engine hardware configuration and number of repairs performed, reputation of previous shop, inspection of Engine, Engine borescope, and full review of all technical records and data concerning the Engine.

5.2   Supplier shall provide comprehensive off-wing maintenance coverage for Customer’s 3B1 and 3B2 Engines pursuant to this Schedule for both scheduled and unscheduled engine removals, in accordance with FAA regulations, applicable Manufacturer specifications, the Manufacturer’s Engine Service Manual and IAI’s engineering procedures and recommendations, FAA-authorized repairs (no FAA PMA Parts). Workscope Planning Guide (latest revision), in effect on the Signature Date, or future versions that will appear from time to time, as detailed below (together, the “Work Standard”). At all times, Supplier shall provide the latest version. Should the latest version impose considerable financial burdens on Supplier, both Parties will meet to find an equitable solution to such financial burden. For the avoidance of

6


 

    doubt, Supplier shall not use FAA-PMA parts or perform FAA-DER repairs unless authorized in advance by Customer.
 
5.2A    Supplier shall assume all responsibility including financial responsibility for the Return Conditions for the Engines that Customer is required to meet in accordance with the aircraft leases. This shall include, but not be limited to: scheduling shop visits to meet minimum time and cycles remaining since overhaul and minimum LLP life at re-delivery to lessor, responsibility for meeting minimum EGTM upon return to lessor and responsibility for correcting boroscope findings not occasioned by FOD or negligent operation by Customer, all in accordance with the lease Return Conditions for the Engines.

On the Return Occasion the Aircraft, subject to ordinary wear and tear of a kind and to an extent consistent with similar aircraft engaged in commercial airline operations, will be redelivered to Lessor by Lessee in accordance with the procedures and in any event in the condition set out below. For the avoidance of doubt, any damage assessment and/or rectification criteria used in assessing the redelivery condition shall be as prescribed in the Manufacturer’s maintenance manual and/or the Manufacturer’s structural repair manual (“SRM”), as appropriate. Any damage outside the scope of the SRM shall require FAA 8110-3 certification or the equivalent certification by the civil aviation authority by the State of Design.

1.1   FINAL INSPECTION

Immediately prior to the Return Occasion, Lessee will make the Aircraft available to Lessor and Owner for inspection (“Final Inspection”) in order to verify that the condition of the Aircraft complies with the Lease. The Final Inspection will include, and be long enough to permit Lessor to:

  (a)   inspect the Aircraft Documents and Records;
 
  (b)   inspect the Aircraft (including an examination of all compartments and bays, with Lessee to open or remove panels as reasonably required by Lessor or Owner during the Redelivery Check), uninstalled Parts and the APU (including a complete video borescope inspection of the APU);
 
  (c)   inspect the Engines, including (i) a complete video borescope inspection of (A) the low pressure and high pressure compressors and (B) turbine area (including combusters) and (ii) engine condition runs (including full take-off power engine run-up performed in accordance with the performance test in the Manufacturer’s maintenance manual, and the Engines shall not exceed corrected limits for all parameters using temperature corrected charts, and power assurance runs); and
 
  (d)   observe a two (2) hour demonstration flight at Lessee’s cost (with Lessor’s and Owner’s representatives as on-board observers (to the extent permitted by FARs)).

Furthermore, Lessee acknowledges that a purchaser or the next operator of the Aircraft may need to inspect the Aircraft, the Engines and the Aircraft Documents and Records prior to redelivery and Lessee hereby agrees to cooperate reasonably at all times during the Term with Lessor, Owner and/or such purchaser or such next operator in order to coordinate, assist and grant access for the above inspections and/or meetings as necessary; provided that no such inspection shall unreasonably interfere with or materially interrupt Lessee’s normal use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft.

Lessor or Owner, as the case may be, is responsible for and will indemnify Lessee against all Losses arising from the death or injury to any observer or any employee of Lessor or Owner, as the case may be, in connection with the inspection of the Aircraft under this Section 1.1.
