10EXCUSABLE DELAY

 

10.1The Buyer acknowledges that the Aircraft are to be manufactured by Seller in performance of this Agreement and that the Scheduled Delivery Months are based on the assumption that there shall be no delay due to causes beyond the control of the Seller. Accordingly, Seller shall not be responsible for any delay in the Delivery of the Aircraft or delay or interruption in the performance of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder due to causes beyond its control, and not occasioned by its fault or negligence including (but without limitation) acts of God or the public enemy, war, civil war, warlike operations, terrorism, insurrections or riots, fires, explosions, natural disasters, compliance with any applicable foreign or domestic governmental regulation or order, labour disputes causing cessation, slowdown or interruption of work, inability after due and timely diligence to procure materials, equipment or parts, general hindrance in transportation or failure of a sub-contractor or supplier to furnish materials, equipment or parts. Any delay or interruption resulting from any of the foregoing causes is referred to as an "Excusable Delay".

 

10.2If an Excusable Delay occurs:

 

(i)the Seller shall notify the Buyer of such Excusable Delay as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the same;

 

(ii)the Seller shall not be responsible for any damages arising from or in connection with such Excusable Delay suffered or incurred by the Buyer;

 

(iii)the Seller shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of its obligations hereunder as a result of such Excusable Delay; and

10.4Total Loss, Destruction or Damage

 

If prior to Delivery, any Aircraft is lost, destroyed or in the reasonable opinion of the Seller is damaged beyond repair (“Total Loss”), the Seller shall notify the Buyer to this effect within [***] of such occurrence. The Seller shall include in said notification (or as soon after the issue of the notice as such information becomes available to the Seller) the earliest date consistent with the Seller's other commitments and production capabilities that an aircraft to replace the Aircraft may be delivered to the Buyer and the Scheduled Delivery Month shall be extended as specified in the Seller's notice to accommodate the delivery of the replacement aircraft ; provided, however, that in the event the specified extension of the Scheduled Delivery Month to a month is exceeding [***] months after the last day of the original Scheduled Delivery Month then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to said Aircraft unless:

 

(i)the Buyer notifies the Seller within [***] of the date of receipt of the Seller's notice that it desires the Seller to provide a replacement aircraft during the month quoted in the Seller’s notice; and

 

(ii)the parties execute an amendment to this Agreement recording the variation in the Scheduled Delivery Month;

 

provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Seller to manufacture and deliver a replacement aircraft if such manufacture would require the reactivation of its production line for the model or series of aircraft which includes the Aircraft purchased hereunder.

 

10.5Termination Rights Exclusive

 

In the event that this Agreement shall be terminated as provided for under the terms of Clauses 10.3 or 10.4, such termination shall discharge all obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder with respect to such affected Aircraft and undelivered material, services, data or other items applicable thereto and to be furnished hereunder and neither party shall have any claim against the other for any loss resulting from such non-delivery.

11.4Limitation of Damages

 

The Buyer and the Seller agree that payment by the Seller of the amounts due pursuant to Clause 11.1 shall be considered to be liquidated damages and have been calculated to compensate the Buyer for its entire damages for all losses of any kind due to Non-Excusable Delay.

For the purpose of this Agreement the term "Warranted Part" shall mean any Seller proprietary component, equipment, accessory or part, which is installed on an Aircraft at Delivery thereof and

 

(a)which is manufactured to the detailed design of the Seller or a subcontractor of the Seller and

 

(b)which bears a part number of the Seller at the time of such Delivery.

 

Subject to the conditions and limitations as hereinafter provided for and except as provided for in Clause 12.1.2, the Seller warrants to the Buyer that each Aircraft and each Warranted Part shall at Delivery to the Buyer be free from defects:

 

(i)in material;

 

(ii)in workmanship, including without limitation processes of manufacture;

 

(iii)in design (including without limitation the selection of materials) having regard to the state of the art at the date of such design; and

Clause 22 - Page 3/5Private & Confidential
 

 

This Agreement including any Exhibits, other documents or data exchanged between the Seller and the Buyer for the fulfilment of their respective obligations under the Agreement shall be treated by both parties as confidential and shall not be released in whole or in part to any third party except as may be required by law, or to professional advisors for the purpose of implementation hereof.

 

In particular, both parties agree:

 

not to make any press release concerning the whole or any part of the contents and/or subject matter hereof or of any future addendum hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

 

that any and all terms and conditions of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement are strictly personal and exclusive to the Buyer, including in particular, but not limited to, the Aircraft pricing (the “Personal Information”). The Buyer therefore agrees to enter into consultations with the Seller reasonably in advance of any required disclosure of Personal Information to financial institutions, including operating lessors, investment banks and their agents or other relevant institutions for aircraft sale and leaseback or any other Aircraft or Predelivery Payment financing purposes (the “Receiving Party”).

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer will use its best efforts to limit the disclosure of the contents of this Agreement to the extent legally permissible in (i) any filing required to be made by the Buyer with any governmental agency and will make such applications as will be necessary to implement the foregoing, and (ii) any press release concerning the whole or any part of the contents and/or subject matter hereof or of any future addendum hereto. With respect to any public disclosure or filing (notably to the New York, Shanghai and Hong-Kong Stock Exchange), the Buyer agrees to submit to the Seller a copy of the proposed document to be filed or disclosed and will give the Seller a reasonable period of time in which to review said document. The Buyer and the Seller will consult with each other prior to the making of any public disclosure or filing, permitted hereunder, of this Agreement or the terms and conditions thereof.

 

The provisions of this Clause 22.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years.
