GENERAL TERMS AGREEMENT NO. CFM-04-0012B

Notwithstanding that Delivery of Products shall be as set forth in Paragraph B of this Article, Airline shall arrange and pay for transportation on behalf of CFM of such Products from the point of shipment in the U.S. described in Paragraph A of this Article until Delivery in accordance with Paragraph B of this Article. All arrangements for Products shipped from a location outside the U.S. to a U.S. shipping point shall be arranged and paid for by CFM. However, if Airline requested foreign manufacture of such Product or requested foreign delivery, Airline shall arrange and pay for such transportation. For shipment of major items such as Spare Engines which (1) require that the ground transportation carrier enter CFM’s facilities and (2) necessitate CFM’s assistance in placing such Products into the hands of the carrier, CFM agrees to contact the carrier directly to arrange the carrier’s scheduled arrival at CFM’s facility. With respect to any Product shipped from the U.S. to a domestic U.S. destination, CFM agrees, unless otherwise directed by Airline or Airline’s freight forwarder, to select a carrier who will act as Airline’s agent to transport Products on the initial leg of ground transportation.

For Products shipped from outside the U.S., CFM shall bear the risk of loss from point of shipment to the frontier of the destination country and ensure that, in the event of loss of or damage to such Products, it is fully insured against any carrier having custody of the Products at the time of the loss or damage, whether transportation is arranged on Airline’s own aircraft or otherwise. Upon Delivery, risk of loss shall, as stated above, pass to Airline, and Airline shall thereafter take measures it deems appropriate with respect thereto.

If the Product(s) cannot be shipped when ready due to any cause specified in Article IX of this Agreement, CFM may place such Product(s) in storage. In such event, all expenses incurred by CFM for activities such as, but not limited to, preparation for and placement into storage and handling, storage, inspection, preservation and insurance shall be paid by CFM. However, if shipment cannot be made due to causes within Airline’s reasonable control, all such expenses related to placing the Product into storage, shall be paid by Airline within ***** after presentation of CFM’s invoices.

Should the delivery by CFM of any Spare Engine be delayed for any reason (other than solely because of the Purchaser), CFM shall make available to Purchaser an Engine(s) similar to the Spare Engine from its nationwide emergency lease pool whenever Purchaser would have utilized a Spare Engine during the period of delay to eliminate an AOG at no cost to Purchaser (other than restoration and LLP deterioration fees fairly attributable to the Purchaser’s actual use of such Engine). When the Spare Engine is delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser has ***** to remove and return such substitute lease engine to CFM or Purchaser shall pay CFM for all lease costs incurred by CFM for such engine starting on and after the ***** in addition to all applicable restoration and

GENERAL TERMS AGREEMENT NO. CFM-04-0012B

LLP deterioration fees. In the event that CFM complies with the provision of a lease pool engine under these Spare Engine delay circumstances, Purchaser shall waive any and all rights to sue CFM for legal or equitable remedies for such delay.

Purchaser’s access to the emergency lease pool managed by CFM for its customers is utilized to support all operators of the engine type and, as such, is not dedicated to any one Aircraft operator. The quantity and location of the pool engines as well as the duration of this support will be determined by CFM based on the overall needs of the fleet operators. These Engines will be leased subject to the terms and conditions of the CFM56 Master Equipment Lease Agreement as entered into by CFM and Purchaser. Purchaser understands that it may not use this arrangement as a substitute for acquiring adequate spare engine capability.

Unless otherwise instructed by Airline, CFM shall ship each Product packaged in accordance with CFM’s normal standards for domestic shipment or export shipment, as applicable. Any special boxing or preparation for shipment specified by Airline shall be for Airline’s account and responsibility. Each Spare Engine purchased from and delivered by CFM shall include a storage bag and shipping stand at no additional cost. The cost of any re-shipping stand or container is not included in the price of the Product. In the event any such CFM-owned items are not returned by Airline to the original point of shipment, in re-usable condition within ***** after shipment, Airline will pay CFM the price of such items upon presentation of CFM’s invoice. Subject to the terms of Letter Agreement No. 2, a Spare Engine shall be delivered to Purchaser rated at the purchased thrust.

H.	Airline’s order number shall be indicated on all shipments, packing sheets, bills of lading and invoices. CFM shall include with packing sheets the Engine data submittal package which shall be accurate as of the time of shipment.

I.	CFM shall ship spare Parts packaged and labeled in accordance with ATA Specification No. 300, to a revision mutually agreed in writing between CFM and Airline. CFM shall notify Airline, where applicable, that certain spare Parts are packed in unit package quantities (“UPQs”) or multiples thereof.

Notwithstanding the distinctions set forth in this Article as to when shipment of a Product occurs as opposed to when Delivery of such Product occurs, for all other purposes of this Agreement (including but not limited to (i) escalation of base prices for Products per Article IV of this Agreement, (ii) dates to be provided in Airline’s purchase orders to CFM per Article III of this Agreement, (iii) payment for Products in accordance with the CFM Payment Terms of this Agreement, and (iv) Exhibit A, Warranties and Guarantees, the terms “deliver” or “delivery” with respect to a Product shall be deemed to mean the shipment of that Product in accordance with the terms hereof. However, use of the terms “delivery” or “deliver” and “shipment” or “ship” shall not be construed so that any acts will pass title or risk of loss or damage with respect to the Products to Airline prior to Delivery in accordance with Paragraph B of this Article.

GENERAL TERMS AGREEMENT NO. CFM-04-0012B

In the event of any delay by CFM in Engine delivery (whether or not such delay is an Excusable Delay), CFM agrees that the Price Escalation Adjustment shall be based on the originally scheduled delivery date and that Pre-Delivery Payments shall be adjusted to reflect the revised delivery date.

ARTICLE VI - PAYMENT

Airline shall pay CFM with respect to Products purchased hereunder as set forth in the attached Exhibit C.

ARTICLE VII - TAXES

The selling prices include and CFM shall be responsible for the payment of any taxes measured by the income of CFM or in the nature of income taxes, and any franchise taxes, doing business taxes, capital, net worth and any other taxes which would have been imposed without regard to the transaction contemplated hereby, and imposed or levied by a taxing authority whether or not located in the United States. With respect to shipments from the U.S. to any foreign destination requested by Airline, unless CFM arranges for export shipment, Airline agrees to furnish ***** evidence of exportation or other evidence of tax or duty exemption acceptable to the taxing or customs authorities when requested by CFM, failing which, the amount of any U.S. taxes imposed on CFM in connection with the transaction shall be promptly reimbursed in U.S. Dollars by Airline to CFM upon submission of CFM’s invoices therefor. CFM is not aware of any U.S. sales tax being levied for transactions hereunder at the present time.

Any other taxes levied in connection with a transaction under this Agreement, other than taxes measured by the income of CFM, or in the nature of income taxes, and any franchise taxes, doing business taxes, capital, net worth and any other taxes which would have been imposed without regard to the transaction contemplated hereby, whether levied against Airline or against CFM or its employees, shall be the responsibility of the Airline and shall be paid directly by Airline to the governmental authority concerned. If CFM or its employees are required to pay any such taxes in the first instance, or as a result of Airline’s failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulation governing the payment of such levies by Airline, the amount of any payments so made, plus the expense of currency conversion, shall be promptly reimbursed in U.S. Dollars by Airline upon submission of CFM’s invoices therefor.

For the purposes of this Article “Taxes” means all taxes, duties, fees, or other charges of any nature (including, but not limited to, ad valorem, excise, franchise, gross receipts, import, license, property, sales, stamp, turnover, use, or value-added taxes, and any and all items of withholding, deficiency, penalty, addition to tax, interest or assessment related thereto).

GENERAL TERMS AGREEMENT NO. CFM-04-0012B

All payments by Airline pursuant to this Agreement shall be free of all withholding of any nature whatsoever except to the extent otherwise required by law, and if any such withholding is so required, Airline shall pay an additional amount such that after the deduction of all amounts required to be withheld, the net amount actually received by CFM shall equal the amount that CFM would have received if such withholding had not been required, in each case, so long as the bank to which Airline is requested to make payments is located in the U.S.

If CFM elects to ship Products from outside the U.S. to a domestic location specified by Airline, all taxes, duties and cost of transportation to the frontier and importing such Products into the U.S. shall be paid by CFM. However if Airline requests CFM to ship Products from outside the U.S. or to ship Products from inside the U.S. to a foreign destination, then Airline shall pay all taxes, duties and costs of transportation and importing such Products into the U.S.

CFM represents that as of the date of this Agreement, no sales and transfer tax is payable in connection with the delivery of any Spare Engine; provided, that the foregoing representation does not cover use taxes. All use taxes will be paid by Purchaser if levied as a result of a delivery under this Agreement. Puchaser will pay any sales or transfer taxes arising on account of any change in law after the date of this Agreement. However, if such a change in law occurs, the Parties will work together to minimize the effect of such change in law on transactions under this Agreement.

to the time lost by reason of the delay. This provision shall not, however, relieve CFM from using reasonable efforts to continue performance whenever such causes are removed. CFM shall promptly notify Airline when such delays occur or impending delays are likely to occur and shall continue to advise it of new shipping schedules and changes thereto.

ARTICLE X – PATENTS

CFM shall handle all claims and defend any suit or proceeding brought against Airline insofar as based on a claim that without further combination, any Product furnished under this Agreement constitutes an infringement of any patent of the United States or of any patent of any other 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 Airline is authorized to operate or in which another airline pursuant to lawful interchange, lease or similar arrangement, operates aircraft of Airline. This paragraph shall apply only to any Product manufactured to CFM’s design.

CFM’s liability hereunder is conditioned upon Airline promptly notifying CFM in writing and giving CFM authority, information and assistance (at CFM’s expense) for the defense of any suit or proceeding. In case such Product is held in such suit or proceeding to constitute infringement and the use of said Product is enjoined, CFM shall expeditiously, at its own expense and at its option, either (1) procure for Airline the right to continue using said Product; (2) replace same with satisfactory and noninfringing Product; or (3) modify same so it becomes satisfactory and noninfringing. CFM shall not be responsible to Airline or to said other airline, for incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, costs, expenses, liabilities and/or loss of profits resulting from loss of use under this Article X.

The remedies described in paragraphs (A) and (B) above do not apply to any Product or Part (1) not purchased by Airline from CFM (except for Products or Parts installed as original equipment on aircraft owned, leased or operated by Airline); (2) that was changed, modified, or not used for its intended purpose; or (3) that was manufactured by CFM to Airline’s unique specifications or directions. CFM assumes no liability for patent infringement as to such items.

However to better support Airline’s start-up concerns, CFM shall bring this ***** per Aircraft allowance forward over the first ten (10) Firm Order Aircraft as an advance due to Airline ***** prior to the delivery of the first (1^st) Firm Order Aircraft under this Agreement. This will make available to Airline a maximum of ***** prior to the time of delivery of the first (1^st) Firm Order Aircraft. This advance will be earned down with each Firm Order Aircraft delivered through and including the tenth (10^th) such Aircraft. The ***** allowance for the delivery of each Firm Order Aircraft thereafter will be earned and made available to Airline at time of such Aircraft delivery. This allowance shall be escalated in accordance with the applicable escalation formula in Attachment D. CFM shall not be obligated to advance the ***** allowance if Airline is in material breach of the Agreement.

3.	Form, Availability and Earning of Allowances

Unless otherwise stated, the per-Aircraft allowances described in this document will be available to Airline:

6.	Remedies for Failure to Take All Aircraft

(a)

Resolution by Senior Executive Officers.

If a dispute arises relating to the Conditions Precedent and related damages, if any, (the “Dispute”) either party (the “disputing party”) may give written notice to the other party (the “receiving party”) requesting that the respective executive officers of the Parties resolve the Dispute. Within ***** after receipt of such notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other party a written response.

Base price shall be the price(s) set forth on the Purchase Order as acknowledged by CFM.

The Composite Price Index (CPI) shall be calculated, to the second decimal place, using the following formula:

*****

Each CPI shall be determined to the second decimal place. Calculation shall be to the third decimal digit and if the third decimal digit is five or more, the second decimal digit shall be raised to the next higher figure.

LETTER AGREEMENT NO. 1

VI.	Values to be utilized in the event of unavailability. If at the time of delivery of Product, CFMI is unable to determine the adjusted price because the applicable values to be used to determine the ECI and IC have not been released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, then:

The Price Adjustment, to be used at the time of delivery of the Product, will be determined by utilizing the escalation provisions set forth above. The values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available 30 days prior to scheduled Product delivery month will be used to determine ***** for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Product Price Adjustment. If no value have been released for an applicable month, the provisions set forth in Paragraph b, below, will apply. If prior to delivery of a Product, the U.S. Department of Labor changes the base year for determination of ***** as defined above, such rebase values will be incorporated in the Price Adjustment calculation.

If prior to delivery of a Product, U.S. Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the ***** (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of previously released values), or for any reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable Price Adjustment, CFM will, prior to delivery of any such Product, select a substitute for such values from data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or other similar data reported by non-governmental United States organizations, such substitute to lead in application to the same adjustment result insofar as possible, as would have been achieved by continuing the use of the original values as they may have fluctuated during the applicable time period. Appropriate revisions of the formula will be made as required to reflect any substitute values. However, if within 24 months from delivery of the Product, the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume releasing values for the months needed to determine the Product Price Adjustment, such values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in the Product Price Adjustment from that determined at the time of delivery of such Product.

In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency of the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the base price of any affected Product to reflect an allowance for increase or decrease in labor compensation and material costs occurring from the period represented by the applicable CPI to the ***** prior to the scheduled month of delivery of such Product.

For the calculation herein, the values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to CFM at the end of the month prior to scheduled Product delivery month will be used to determine ***** for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Product Price Adjustment for the Product invoice at the time of delivery. The values will be considered final and no Product Price Adjustment will be made after Product delivery for any subsequent changes in published index values.

Burlingame, CA 94010

WHEREAS, CFM International, Inc. (hereinafter individually referred to as “CFM”) and Virgin America Inc (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) (CFM and Customer being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties”) have entered into General Terms Agreement CFM-04-0012B dated June 14, 2004 as amended or completed from time to time, (hereinafter referred to as “GTA”); and

WHEREAS, the GTA contains the applicable terms and conditions governing the sale by CFM and the purchase by Customer of spare engines, related equipment and spare parts therefore in support of Customer’ s CFM-powered fleet of aircraft from Airbus S.A.S; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:

1.	TRUEngine™ Program Overview

The TRUEngine program identifies an engine that the Customer has declared as having been maintained per CFM recommendations as defined in the documents specified in Appendix 2.

TRUEngine designation is granted on an individual engine basis (ESN).

Declaration of compliance occurs at the time Customer submits Engine Serial Numbers (ESN) via form in Appendix 4, and submits required maintenance records as specified in Appendix 3 to substantiate said declaration.

Substantiation (by way of maintenance records submission) must cover all maintenance through the most recent exposure of each engine module.

Upon the occurrence of shop-level maintenance, Customer is required to submit updated engine maintenance documentation (as defined in Appendix 3) within ***** to substantiate continued compliance.

In the event Customer fails to provide adequate records or CFM concludes that, at the declaration or during the life of the TRUEngine program, an engine has been maintained in a manner inconsistent with program requirements, said engine shall be excluded from the TRUEngine program.

*****

Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CFM International is a joint company of Snecma, France and GE, U.S.A

CFM reserves the right to review submitted maintenance records to verify compliance with program requirements.

TRUEngine designation remains in effect until shop-level maintenance occurs or Customer elects to opt-out of the program (at Customer’ s convenience and at any time).

New CFM56 engine deliveries meet the criteria to qualify for TRUEngine designation, and will be added immediately and automatically to the program upon delivery.

*****

3.	Eligibility and Conditions

Engines eligible for the above special benefits are those that qualify for TRUEngine program status per the guidelines defined herein. Engines that cease to qualify for TRUEngine status are no longer eligible for special benefits set forth herein.

Engines with current TRUEngine status are identified at a mutually accessible location at www.CFM56.com.

Claims for the TRUEngine special benefits set forth above may be made by Customer through its assigned CFM representative. In the case that a TRUEngine qualified engine is leased benefits are awarded to the Customer who first submits the claim. Duplicate claims will not be processed.

This Letter Agreement and the TRUEngine special guarantees made available hereunder shall terminate upon ***** written notice of the discontinuance of the TRUEngine program by CFM, or, in the case of discontinuance of a particular TRUEngine special guarantee, upon ***** written notice thereof.

Engine maintenance records submitted in substantiation of engine qualifications will be archived by CFM.

Customer hereby authorizes CFM to communicate Customer’s name, likeness, and TRUEngine participation in press releases and other communications.

The benefits set forth in this Letter Agreement may be assignable to the new owner should a TRUEngine qualified engine be sold by Customer to said new owner, provided such new owner maintains the TRUEngine qualified engine, performs all other required actions for qualification in compliance with program requirements, and has entered into a General Terms Agreement and a similar Letter Agreement with CFM. For the avoidance of doubt, the Attachment “Basis and Conditions for Special Guarantees” as mentioned in the GTA applies to the present TRUEngine special guarantees.

Appropriate revisions of the formula will be made as required to reflect any substitute values. However, if within ***** from delivery of the Product, the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume releasing values for the months needed to determine the Product Price Adjustment, such values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in the Product Price Adjustment from that determined at the time of delivery of such Product.

In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency of the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the base price of any affected Product to reflect an allowance for increase or decrease in labor compensation and material costs occurring since ***** which is consistent with the applicable provisions of this Price Escalation formula.

VII.	Any rounding of a number, with respect to escalation of the Product Price, will be accomplished as follows: If the first digit of the portion to be dropped from the number is five or greater, the preceding digit will be raised to the next higher number.

Program Pricing

CFM and Airline both recognize that it is desirable that Airline maintains a spare-to-installed engine ratio of CFM56-5B engines that will be sufficient to assure optimal stability in Airline’s A320 family flight operations. In order to induce Airline to purchase sufficient CFM56-5B engines to achieve this objective, CFM is offering a Spare Engine purchase price credit to Airline, in accordance with the following terms.

1.	Spare-to-Installed Engine Ratio Objective

The Spare-to-installed Engine ratio objective for Airline’s Firm Order and Option Aircraft is recommended to be ***** (the “Spare Engine Ratio”). The Spare Engine Purchase Price Credit set forth below is applicable only for those Spare Engine purchases necessary for Airline to achieve the Spare Engine Ratio. Once the Spare Engine Ratio has been achieved, further Spare Engine purchase price credits will not be available for additional Spare Engine purchases unless the number of Spare Engines in Airline’s fleet again falls below the Spare Engine Ratio: a) because Airline has made additional purchases of new or used CFM56-5B powered A320 family aircraft; or b) because a Spare Engine has been permanently removed from service due to accident or other involuntary circumstance; or c) because Airline has made a Permissible Sale of a spare engine as set forth in Section 3 hereof.

2.	Spare Engine Purchase Price Credit

The Spare Engine Purchase Price Credit established for Airline for eligible Spare Engines shall be as follows:


Model	Thrust	Credit	Base	CPI
CFM56-5B4/3	*****	*****	*****	*****
CFM56-5B3/3	*****	*****	*****	*****

Such Spare Engine Purchase Credit shall be applied by CFM to reduce the Purchase Price for each eligible Spare Engine purchase as set forth herein, and will escalate in accordance with the terms of Attachment D. The invoice to Airline shall reflect application of this Spare Engine Purchase Price Credit. For avoidance of doubt, such Spare Engine Purchase Price Credit cannot be used for any purpose other than as set forth herein.

3.	Other Conditions

If Airline intends to utilize the Spare Engine Purchase Price Credit for a particular Spare Engine purchase, it shall send to CFM a letter certifying that Airline’s Spare Engine purchase is eligible to receive the Spare Engine Purchase Price Credit as set forth under Section 2 and 3 hereof

As CFM has made this Spare Engine Support Plan available to Airline to assist Airline to achieve, and maintain, the Spare Engine Ratio, if Airline sells a Spare Engine on which the Spare Engine Purchase Price Credit has been applied or ceases to use such Engine as a Spare Engine, within ***** of delivery of such Engine to Airline, this Spare Engine Purchase Price Credit agreement will be deemed terminated. The foregoing shall not apply a) to a sale made by Airline of such a Spare Engine in order to obtain purchase price financing or b) to a sale by Airline of such a Spare Engine made after the ***** from delivery of such Engine to Airline (a “Permissible Sale”).

CONDITIONS FOR SPECIAL ALLOWANCES/DELAY/CANCELLATION

1.	Allowance for Initial Aircraft Sale Only

Any allowance described herein applies only to the thirty (30) new firm A320 aircraft (together or individually the “Aircraft”) equipped with new LEAP-X1A26 engines (together or individually the “Engines”) purchased by Airline directly from the aircraft manufacturer. Allowances described herein do not apply to aircraft equipped with buyer-furnished engines, aircraft that have been the subject of a previous CFM proposal or offer, or, aircraft that have been previously sold or otherwise acquired through resale, lease, transfer, trade or exchange.

2.	Allowance Not Paid

Allowances described herein will become unearned and will not be paid if Engines have been delivered to the aircraft manufacturer for installation in Airline’s Aircraft and, thereafter, Airline’s purchase order with the aircraft manufacturer is terminated, canceled or revoked, or delivery of the Aircraft will be prevented or delayed beyond ***** of the delivery period described in the Aircraft Delivery Schedule herein (“Delivery Period”), in each case as a result of Airline’s breach of its purchase agreement with Airframer.

3.	Intentionally Omitted

4.	Adjustment of Allowances

The total allowances, of any nature, described herein are contingent upon Airline accepting delivery of a minimum of 25 LEAP-X1A26 powered Aircraft (“Minimum Number of Aircraft”) and four (4) LEAP-X1A26 Spare Engines (“Minimum Number of Spares”) for delivery during the Delivery Period. If Airline has canceled or otherwise failed to accept delivery of one or more off the required Minimum Number of Aircraft or Minimum Number of Spares within the Delivery Period, the allowances will be adjusted as follows:

LETTER AGREEMENT NO. 6

Adjustment of allowances in accordance with the above formula may be made by CFM prospectively to take into account Aircraft delays and/or cancellations. In any case, Airline agrees to promptly reimburse CFM for any allowance overpayments determined to have been made at the application of the adjustment formula set forth above with interest since the allowance overpayment(s) at the prime floating interest rate per annum for ***** U.S. Dollar deposits, as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time (the “Prime Rate”), plus ***** Unless otherwise agreed by CFM, no allowance shall be paid on Aircraft not accepted within the Delivery Period and such Aircraft shall not be counted for purposes of the adjustment formula set forth above.

5.	Assignability of Allowance

Any allowance described herein is exclusively for the benefit of Airline and is not assignable without CFM’s written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.	Set Off for Outstanding Balance

Either party shall be entitled, with five (5) days written notice, to set off any outstanding obligation and amounts that are due and owing from Airline to CFM (and not subject to a good faith dispute for goods or services (whether or not in connection with this Letter Agreement and/or GTA)), against any amount or credits payable by CFM to Airline in connection with this Letter Agreement and/or GTA.

7.	Cancellation of Installed or Spare Engines

Airline recognizes that harm or damage will be sustained by CFM if Airline places an order for Spare Engine(s) or for Aircraft equipped with installed Engines and subsequently cancels such order or otherwise fails to accept delivery of the Engines or Aircraft when duly tendered. Within ***** of any such cancellation or failure to accept delivery occurs, Airline shall remit to CFM a minimum cancellation charge ***** determined as of the date of scheduled Engine delivery to Airline or to the aircraft manufacturer, whichever is applicable.

The parties acknowledge such minimum cancellation charge to be a reasonable estimate of the minimum harm or damage to CFM in such circumstances. If written notice of any such cancellation or failure to accept delivery is given by Airline at least ***** prior to scheduled delivery of the applicable spare or installed Engine(s), such minimum cancellation charge shall be deemed liquidated damages for such harm or damage. If any such cancellation or failure occurs with less than such ***** prior written notice, CFM shall also retain all remedies in law and equity available to CFM for damages in excess of such minimum cancellation charge.

CFM shall retain any progress payments or other deposits made to CFM for any such Engine. Such progress payments will be applied first to the minimum cancellation charge for such Engine and, in circumstances described in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, then to any further damages sustained by CFM as a result of such cancellation or failure to accept delivery. Progress payments held by CFM in respect of any such Engine which are in excess of such amounts will be refunded to Airline, provided Airline is not then in arrears on other amounts owed to CFM.

8.	Delay Charge for Installed or Spare Engines

In the event Airline delays the scheduled delivery date of a Spare Engine, or causes the delay of the scheduled delivery date of an installed Engine, for which CFM has received a purchase order from the aircraft manufacturer or Airline, as appropriate, for a period, or cumulative period, of more that ***** such delay shall be considered a cancellation and the applicable provisions hereof regarding the effect of cancellation shall apply.

9.	Aircraft Substitution Rights

10.

Aircraft Not Operated for Minimum Period

If Airline sells or otherwise fails to own (other than for sale-leaseback or any other financing purposes) ***** or more of the total delivered Firm Ordered for an average period of ***** any Aircraft for which CFM paid allowances hereunder (the “Minimum Period”), then the allowances earned and/or paid on such sold or non-Airline owned Aircraft will be proportionately reduced. Airline will reimburse CFM an amount equal to the proportionate share of the special allowances earned and/or paid with respect to such Aircraft, (based on the percentage of the Minimum Period the Aircraft was actually owned and operated by Airline), with interest on such amount. The allowance reimbursement is due no later than ***** after written request from CFM, following the time Airline ceases to own and operate such Aircraft. Interest will be calculated at the Prime Rate, plus ***** from the time of initial allowance payment on such Aircraft until the time of full reimbursement.

LETTER AGREEMENT NO. 6

If prior to delivery of a Product, U.S. Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine ***** (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of previously released values), or for any reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable Price Adjustment, CFM will, prior to delivery of any such Product, select a substitute for such values from data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or other similar data reported by non-governmental United States organizations, such substitute to lead in application to the same adjustment result insofar as possible, as would have been achieved by continuing the use of the original values as they may have fluctuated during the applicable time period. Appropriate revisions of the formula will be made as required to reflect any substitute values. However, if within ***** from delivery of the Product, the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume releasing values for the months needed to determine the Product Price Adjustment, such values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in the Product Price Adjustment from that determined at the time of delivery of such Product.

In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency of the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the base price of any affected Product to reflect an allowance for increase or decrease in labor compensation and material costs occurring ***** which is consistent with the applicable provisions of this Price Escalation formula.

VII.

Any rounding of a number, with respect to escalation of the Product Price, will be accomplished as follows: If the first digit of the portion to be dropped from the number is five or greater, the preceding digit will be raised to the next higher number.
