Buyer shall cooperate with Seller for the redaction of the Inspection and Acceptance Manual. Buyer and Seller shall mutually approve such Inspection and Acceptance Manual [*****] (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). In the event of a conflict between the Inspection and Acceptance Manual and this Contract, then this Contract shall take precedence over the Inspection and Acceptance Manual.

One (1) ATR 72-600 qualified representative of Buyer may be present and have a seat as a First Officer in the cockpit, being understood that, notwithstanding the provisions of the above paragraph but subject always to the supervision of Seller’s captain seating in the cockpit, such qualified Buyer representative will, at selected moments during the Acceptance Flight Tests, be able to exercise a degree of operational control over the Aircraft in order to check that the Aircraft complies with the terms of this Contract.

A maximum of three (3) representatives of Buyer having only access to the passenger cabin, may also participate in such Acceptance Flight Tests.

 

10.5 The Aircraft shall be operated at Seller’s expense and risk and only by Seller’s nominees during the Acceptance Flight Tests.

 

10.6 In the event that during, or as a result of the said inspection or of the Acceptance Flight Tests, Buyer acting reasonably considers that any Aircraft fails to comply in any respect with the terms of this Contract, including in particular Clause 2.2, then upon notification of the details of such alleged failure given by Buyer upon the conclusion of the inspection or Acceptance Flight Tests, Seller shall, at its own cost and expense, examine, and if necessary promptly rectify or modify, the Aircraft to bring it into compliance with the terms of this Contract, including in particular Clause 2.2.

10.7 If at any stage Seller acting reasonably considers that the requirements of the terms of this Contract, including in particular Clause 2.2, are met and should Buyer so require, Seller shall demonstrate to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that the Aircraft meets the said requirements with regard to the aspects in doubt. In case Buyer has notified Seller of any failure of the Aircraft to comply with the terms of this Contract in accordance with this Clause 10, and Seller has undertaken rectifying and/or modifying actions of any kind, Seller shall be obliged to perform a new Acceptance Flight Test, should Buyer reasonably request so.

 

10.8 If remedy of a failure is not possible prior to the Delivery Date, and provided always that such failure does not adversely affect the safety, airworthiness or to any material extent the performance, structural life, reliability, economic operation, regular commercial use, maintenance inspection program or maintenance of the Aircraft, Buyer shall not be entitled to refuse to accept the Aircraft by reason of such failure of the Aircraft to meet the requirements of the terms of this Contract.

In such case however, Seller and Buyer shall agree a program and a schedule for the remedy of such failure by Seller or for a monetary compensation for the non-remedy of such failure by Seller, such agreement being recorded in a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) jointly executed by Seller and Buyer prior to Delivery.

However, in no circumstances shall Buyer be liable to accept delivery of an Aircraft with deferred rectifications or remedies if the deferment of such rectifications or remedy is not approved by the EASA and / or ANAC.

Should Buyer fail to deliver such Certificate of Acceptance, Buyer shall be deemed to be in default of its obligations pursuant to Clause 22.2 herein. The signature of the Certificate of Acceptance by Buyer shall be deemed a demonstrate compliance of the Aircraft with the Specification and the guaranteed performance, subject however to the matters set forth in the Commitment Letter (if any).

 

10.10 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 22.2, if Buyer fails to carry out the said inspection or attend the Acceptance Flight Tests or sign the Certificate of Acceptance without notifying Seller of any failure of the Aircraft to comply with any of the terms of this Contract, Seller shall, [*****] after the satisfactory completion of the Acceptance Flight Tests, notify Buyer that it shall be deemed to have accepted the Aircraft in accordance with the Contract.

In no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for damages or penalties with respect to delay in the date at which Seller shall be required to meet its obligation to deliver the Aircraft, or liable for any damages, including without limitation any other direct, incidental, special or consequential loss or damage resulting from Buyers delay in providing Buyer Furnished Equipment.

1.8 On-Aircraft Work By Seller

Seller and Buyer will agree on a schedule and place for such work to be performed, Seller shall thereafter promptly make all repairs or replacements necessary under any valid Warranty Claim to make the relevant defective Seller Part comply in all respects with Seller’s Warranties, subject always to the provisions of Clause 1.6 of this Appendix.

 

1.9 In-house Warranty

Seller’s representative has the right to request return shipment of removed Seller Parts, if the nature of the failure requires technical investigation.

Seller’s representative shall further have the right to be present during the disassembly and inspection of the defective Seller Parts. Buyer shall repair or correct such parts in accordance with Seller’s instructions.

In such event, Buyer shall file a Warranty Claim within [*****] after discovery of a defect for which Seller’s Warranties apply, along with a statement of the labour cost expended plus the cost of the material required for repair at current catalogue prices whereupon Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such amount. Alternatively, Buyer may elect to request Seller to credit to its account in an amount equal to the [*****] at current catalogue prices.

For the purpose of this clause, the warranty labour rate shall be [*****] of Buyer’s average direct hourly labour rate. For this purpose, “average direct hourly labour rate” means the average hourly rate (excluding all fringe benefits, premium time allowances, social charges, business taxes and the like) paid to Buyer’s employees whose jobs are directly related to the performance of the repair or modification. Prior to or concurrent with submission of Buyer’s first claim for labour reimbursement hereunder, Buyer shall notify Seller of Buyer’s then current average direct hourly labour rate, and thereafter Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any significant change in such rate. If requested, Buyer shall furnish to Seller such data as may be reasonably required to substantiate such rate.

In no case will reimbursement be made to Buyer for repair costs including labor and material in excess of those which would have resulted if repairs had been carried out at Seller’s facilities. The labour cost to be credited by Seller as aforesaid shall account for:
