Clause 10.      CHANGES

10.1                 Buyer Requested Changes

Should the Buyer request a change to any Buyer Selected Optional Features, the Seller (acting in good faith) shall advise the Buyer of the feasibility of such change and, if feasible, of its price and availability and – to the extent reasonably practicable - of the expected effect (if any) of such change on the price and payment terms applicable to the Aircraft and on the performance characteristics of the Aircraft.

Such change shall be effected by way of a written amendment to this Agreement between the parties hereto. Any changes made in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 10.1 shall constitute a “Buyer Requested Change” and the cost thereof shall be borne by the Buyer.

10.2                 Development Changes

The Specification may also be amended to incorporate changes deemed necessary by the Seller to improve the Aircraft, prevent delay or ensure compliance with this Agreement (“Development Change”), as set forth in this Clause 10.2.

10.2.1             The Specification may be amended by the Seller through a Development Change, which shall be documented by the Seller and such document will set out the Development Change’s Aircraft embodiment rank as well as, in detail, the particular change to be made to the Specification and the effect, if any, of such change on performance, weight, Aircraft Base Price, Delivery Date of the Aircraft affected thereby and interchangeability or replaceability requirements under the Specification.

Except when the Development Change is necessitated by an Aviation Authority directive or by equipment obsolescence, in which case the Development Change will be accomplished without requiring the Buyer’s consent, if the Development Change adversely affects the performance, weight, Base Price, Delivery Date of the Aircraft affected thereby or the interchangeability or replaceability requirements under the Specification, the Seller will notify the Buyer of a reasonable period of time during which the Buyer must accept or reject such Development Change. If the Buyer does not notify the Seller of the rejection of the Development Change within such period, the Development Change will be deemed accepted by the Buyer and the corresponding modification will be accomplished.

Notwithstanding the above and for the specific case of the Aircraft to be delivered under the Agreement, if (i) the Seller issues a chargeable Development Change applicable to such Aircraft and (ii) such chargeable Development Change [*].

10.2.2             In the event of the Seller revising the Specification to incorporate Development Changes which have no adverse effect on any of the elements as set forth in 10.2.1 above, such revision shall be performed by the Seller without the Buyer’s consent.

 

ALC A220 Purchase Agreement

Page  25/66

Ref. CLC-CT1906081 – December 2019

 

 

 

In such cases, the Seller shall make the information corresponding to such Development Change(s) available to the Buyer.

10.3                 Regulatory Changes

10.3.1              If any change to, or modification or testing of, the Aircraft is required by any law or governmental regulation or requirement (or interpretation thereof by any governmental agency having jurisdiction) in order to meet the requirements of Clause 7.2 (a “Regulatory Change”), such Regulatory Change shall be made to the Aircraft prior to the Delivery Date.

10.3.2              With respect to any Regulatory Change promulgated by any authority having jurisdiction (including TC, the FAA or EASA)  (i) which is applicable to all aircraft in general or to all aircraft of the same category as the Aircraft, and [*] or (ii) is [*].

10.3.3              In the event the Regulatory Change does not fall under provisions listed in Clause 10.3.2(i) or 10.3.2(ii):

(i)     [*]; and

(ii)    [*].

If delivery of the Aircraft is delayed by the incorporation of any Regulatory Change, such delay shall constitute an Excusable Delay within the meaning of Clause 12.

The Seller shall issue a written amendment to this Agreement reflecting any Regulatory Change which shall set forth in detail the particular changes to be made and the anticipated effect, if any, of such changes on design, performance, weight, balance, Scheduled Delivery Month, as applicable, Aircraft Base Price and/or Aircraft Final Price. Any amendment(s) issued pursuant to this Clause shall be effective and binding [*].

10.4                 [*]

10.5.1              Administration

10.5.1.1           [*] in accordance with the Specification, the Seller shall install those items of equipment that are identified in the Specification as being furnished by the Buyer ("Buyer Furnished Equipment" or "BFE").

10.5.1.2           [*]

10.5.1.3           The Seller shall also provide [*] to the Buyer a schedule of dates (the “On Dock Dates” or “ODD”) and the shipping addresses for delivery of the BFE and,

 

ALC A220 Purchase Agreement

Page  26/66

Ref. CLC-CT1906081 – December 2019

 

 

 

where requested by the Seller, additional spare BFE to permit installation in the Aircraft and Delivery of the Aircraft in accordance with the Aircraft delivery schedule. The Buyer shall provide, or cause the BFE Suppliers to provide, the BFE by such dates in a serviceable condition, in order to allow performance of any assembly, installation, test or acceptance process in accordance with the Seller’s industrial schedule. In order to facilitate the follow-up of the timely receipt of BFE, the Buyer shall, upon the Seller’s request, provide through the Seller’s BFE part management tool, dates and references of all BFE purchase orders placed by the Buyer (including the appropriate documentation to allow goods receipt. A detailed list of the required documentation, as well as training on the part management tool will be provided to the Buyer upon request). Once the last Aircraft under this Agreement is delivered to the Buyer, the Seller shall, at its own cost, return the unused additional spare BFE either to (i) the Buyer or (ii) the BFE manufacturer or (iii) to any other address provided by the Buyer.

The Buyer shall also provide, when requested by the Seller, at AIRBUS Canada Limited Partnership in Mirabel (Canada), or any other designated location, adequate field service from BFE Suppliers to act in a technical advisory capacity to the Seller in the installation, calibration and possible repair of any BFE (“On-Site Support” or “OSS”).

The Buyer hereby agrees to participate in such meetings and to provide adequate technical and engineering expertise to reach decisions within the defined timeframe.

In addition, throughout the development phase and up to Delivery of the Aircraft to the Buyer, the Buyer agrees:

     to follow-up on the status of the BFE development and ensure that the BFE Suppliers shall enable the Buyer to fulfill its obligations, including but not limited to those set forth in the Customization Milestone Chart;

     that, should a timeframe, quality or other type of risk be identified at a given BFE Supplier, the Buyer shall allocate resources to such BFE Supplier so as not to jeopardize the industrial schedule of the Aircraft;

     for major BFE, including, but not being limited to, seats, IFE and connectivity systems (“Major BFE”) to participate on a mandatory basis in the specific meetings that take place between BFE Supplier selection and BFE delivery, namely:

o    Preliminary Design Review (“PDR”),

o    Critical Design Review (“CDR”);

     to attend the First Article Inspection (“FAI”) for the first shipset of all Major BFE. Should the Buyer not attend such FAI, the Buyer shall delegate the FAI to the BFE Supplier and confirmation thereof shall be supplied to the Seller in writing;

 

ALC A220 Purchase Agreement

Page  27/66

Ref. CLC-CT1906081 – December 2019

 

 

 

    to attend the Source Inspection (“SI”) that takes place at the BFE Supplier’s premises prior to shipping, for each shipset of all Major BFE. Should the Buyer decide not to attend such SI, the Buyer shall delegate the SI [*] to the BFE Supplier, or to the Seller or its Affiliates’ source inspector at the BFE Supplier’s facilities and confirmation thereof shall be brought to the Seller in writing. Should the Buyer not attend the SI, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the conclusions of the person to whom the SI was delegated with respect to such SI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed by the Buyer that a Seller or a Seller Affiliate source inspector may be called upon solely to the extent that he is already present at the relevant BFE Supplier.

The Seller shall be entitled to attend the PDR, the CDR and the FAI. In doing so, the Seller’s employees shall be acting in an advisory capacity only and at no time shall they be deemed to be acting as Buyer's employees or agents, either directly or indirectly. If the Seller does not have any employee, agent, or representative present at the PDR, CDR or FAI, then neither the Buyer nor the Buyer’s employees, agents or representatives shall be deemed to be acting as the Seller’s employees or agents, either directly or indirectly.

10.5.1.5          The BFE shall be imported into Canada by the Buyer. The Buyer shall deliver the BFE Delivery Duty Paid (“DDP”) to the Seller Facility or such other place as designated by the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.5.1.3, by the applicable ODDs. The Buyer shall, or shall cause a broker to, act as importer-of-record with respect to BFE to ensure clearance of BFE upon it reaching its destination.

10.5.2              Applicable Requirements

The Buyer is responsible for ensuring, at its expense, and warrants that the BFE shall:

    be manufactured by a BFE Supplier qualified by the Seller’s Aviation Authorities to produce equipment for installation on civil aircraft, and

    meet the requirements of the applicable Specification of the Aircraft, and

    be delivered with the relevant certification and quality conformity documentation (including Seller’s purchase order reference), including but not limited to the declaration of design and performance, and

    comply with the BFE Engineering Definition, and

    comply with applicable requirements incorporated by reference to the Type Certificate and listed in the Type Certificate Data Sheet, and

    be approved by the Aviation Authority issuing the TC Export Airworthiness Certificate and by the Buyer's Aviation Authority for installation and use on the Aircraft at the time of Delivery of the Aircraft, and

    not infringe any patent, copyright or other intellectual property right of the Seller or any third party, and

    not be subject to any legal obligation or other encumbrance that may prevent, hinder or delay the installation of the BFE in the Aircraft and/or the Delivery of the Aircraft.

The Seller shall be entitled to refuse any item of BFE that does not meet the requirements of this Clause 10.5.2.

10.5.3              Buyer's Obligation and Seller's Remedies

10.5.3.1           Any delay or failure by the Buyer or the BFE Suppliers in:

    complying with the foregoing warranty or in providing the BFE Engineering Definition or field service mentioned in Clause 10.5.1.3, or

    furnishing the BFE in a serviceable condition at the requested delivery date, or

    obtaining any required approval for such BFE equipment under the above mentioned aviation authorities’ regulations,

may delay the performance of any act to be performed by the Seller, including Delivery of the Aircraft. The Seller shall not be responsible for such delay which shall cause the Final Price of the Aircraft to be adjusted in accordance with the updated delivery schedule and to include in particular the amount of the Seller's additional costs attributable to such delay or failure by the Buyer or the BFE Suppliers, [*].

10.5.3.2           In addition, in the event of any delay or failure mentioned in Clause 10.5.3.1 above, the Seller may:

(ii)    if the BFE is delayed by more than [*].

10.5.4              Title and Risk of Loss

Title to and risk of loss of any BFE shall at all times remain with the Buyer, except that risk of loss (limited to cost of replacement of said BFE) shall be with the Seller for as long as such BFE is under the care, custody and control of the Seller.

10.5.5              Disposition of BFE Following Termination

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Clauses 12, 13 or 15 of this Agreement with respect to an Aircraft for which all or part of the BFE

12.1           The Seller and any Affiliate of the Seller shall not be responsible or be deemed to be in default of its obligations under this Agreement on account of delays in delivery or failure to deliver or other delays or failures in the performance of this Agreement, any part hereof, due to causes reasonably beyond the Seller's control or not occasioned by the Seller's fault or negligence of which Seller has notified Buyer in accordance with this sub-Clause 12.1 ("Excusable Delay"), including but not being limited to: acts of God or the public enemy, natural disasters, fires, floods, explosions or earthquakes; epidemics or quarantine restrictions; serious accidents; total or constructive total loss; any law, decision, regulation, directive or other act (whether or not having the force of law) of any government or of the Council of the European Community or the Commission of the European Community or of any national, Federal, State, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency, court or instrumentality, domestic or foreign; governmental priorities or regulations or orders affecting allocation of materials or facilities or a completed Aircraft; war, civil war and warlike operations, terrorism, insurrection or riots; strikes or labor troubles causing cessation, slow down or interruption of work; [*] inability after due and timely diligence to procure materials, accessories, equipment or parts; general hindrance in transportation. It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) any delay in delivery or otherwise in the performance of this Agreement by the Seller due in whole or in part to any delay in or failure of the delivery of, or any other event or circumstance relating to, [*] resume the performance of those obligations affected under this Agreement. Seller shall use due and timely diligence and all reasonable efforts to remove the cause or causes for delay.

12.2           In the event that the delivery of an Aircraft shall be delayed by reason of an Excusable Delay for a period of [*] after the end of the calendar month in which delivery is otherwise required hereunder, [*] terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft upon notice given to the [*] after the expiration of such [*]. In the event such delay shall continue for [*] after the expiration of such [*] terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft upon notice [*] after the end of such [*]. Such termination shall discharge all obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder with respect to such Aircraft, [*]. Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 19, the [*] terminate this Agreement as to any Aircraft under this Clause 12 by reason of an Excusable Delay if such delay is caused by the negligence or fault of the Buyer or its representatives.

12.3           If the Seller concludes, based on its appraisal of the facts, that, due to Excusable Delay, delivery of an Aircraft will be delayed for a period of [*] after the end of the calendar month in which delivery is otherwise required (unless the Seller concludes that, by reason of any Excusable Delay, delivery of such Aircraft will not occur), and as a result thereof in good faith and in accordance with its normal scheduling procedures internally reschedules delivery of such Aircraft to a date reflecting such delays, the Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing of such delay and rescheduling or, as the case may be, of such non-delivery, (i) in the event of such delay or non-delivery, [*] terminate this Agreement or (ii) in the event of such non-delivery, [*] terminate this Agreement as to such Aircraft in each case by giving written notice [*] after receipt by the Buyer of such notice of anticipated delay.

termination shall discharge all obligations and liabilities of the Buyer and the Seller hereunder to the extent related to such Aircraft, [*]. Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 20, the [*] terminate this Agreement as to any Aircraft under this Clause 12 by reason of an Excusable Delay if such delay is caused by the negligence or fault of the Buyer or its representative.

12.4           If, following notice of an anticipated delay under sub-Clause 12.3, this Agreement, with respect to the affected Aircraft, is not terminated in accordance with the provisions of such sub-Clause, then the time of delivery otherwise required hereunder shall be extended by a period equal to the delay specified in such notice.

12.5           If an event occurs prior to delivery of an Aircraft which could result in such Aircraft being lost, destroyed or damaged beyond economic repair (“Total Loss”), the Seller will immediately notify Buyer of the occurrence of such event with the understanding that the Seller is still making its determination of what consequences such event has on the Aircraft. Should the Aircraft be subject to Total Loss prior to delivery further to such event, a further notice shall specify the earliest date reasonably possible, consistent with the Seller's other contractual commitments and production capabilities, by which the Seller would be able to deliver a replacement for such Aircraft. This Agreement shall terminate as to such Aircraft unless the Buyer gives the Seller written notice, [*] after receipt by the Buyer of the notice from the Seller of such Total Loss, that the Buyer desires the Seller to manufacture and deliver to the Buyer a replacement for such Aircraft. If the Buyer gives such notice to the Seller, the Seller shall manufacture and deliver to the Buyer, at the earliest date reasonably possible consistent with the Seller's other contractual commitments and production capabilities, an aircraft to replace the Aircraft subject to Total Loss, and the parties shall execute an amendment to the Agreement formalizing the termination of the Agreement with respect to the Aircraft subject to Total Loss and the sale by the Seller and the purchase by the Buyer of the replacement aircraft with the corresponding Scheduled Delivery Month provided by the Seller; provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate the Seller to manufacture and deliver such replacement aircraft if such manufacture would require the reactivation of its production line for the model of aircraft purchased hereunder. The terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to the Aircraft subject to Total Loss shall apply to the replacement aircraft. In the event of termination of this Agreement as to an Aircraft subject to Total Loss, the obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder to the extent related to such Aircraft shall be discharged. [*]

12.6          The termination provisions set forth in this Clause 12 are in substitution for any other rights of termination set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law, statute or regulation or otherwise by virtue of an Excusable Delay or the loss, destruction or damage beyond economic repair of an Aircraft.

12.7          Termination Rights Exclusive

If this Agreement is terminated as provided for under the terms of Clauses 12.3 or 12.5, such termination will 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 under the Agreement.

ANNEX A

ANNEX A

CUSTOMER SUPPORT SERVICES

This Annex A forms part of the Agreement and all defined terms used in this Annex A and defined elsewhere in the Agreement, including Annex B thereto, shall have the meaning ascribed to them in those other sections of the Agreement.

The Seller shall make available to the Buyer, or cause to be made available, the customer support services set out in this Annex A (collectively the “Customer Support Services”). It is understood by the Parties that any Customer Support Services provided are in consideration of the purchase and Delivery of Aircraft.

The Seller agrees that the Buyer shall be entitled to assign any of its rights and interests available under Article 1 (Seller Representative Services), Article 3 (Training Support and Services) and Article 4 (Technical Publications and Data), (together, the “Support Rights”) to the Initial Operator of any Aircraft by the way of a support rights assignment agreement (the “SRA”), in the mutually agreed form and substance of Attachment B to this Annex A.

Should the Buyer not take Delivery of any of the Aircraft then, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to the Seller under the Agreement or at law:

(a)     any of the Customer Support Services earned on a per Aircraft basis shall not be provided for such undelivered Aircraft; and

(b)     in the event that:

(i)  the Customer Support Services to be earned on a per Aircraft basis have been provided in advance of the Delivery for such undelivered Aircraft; or

(ii) the Customer Support Services are not earned on a per Aircraft basis, in which case the prorated quantities of such Customer Support Services shall be calculated for such undelivered Aircraft,

then the quantities of such Customer Support Services or a prorated quantity thereof for such undelivered Aircraft shall be [*] paid by the Buyer to the Seller [*] within [*] of the Buyer receiving written request to that effect from the Seller.

ANNEX A

Article 1.         SELLER REPRESENTATIVE SERVICES

The Seller shall provide, or cause to be provided, [*] to the Buyer, the services of Seller Representatives, as described in this Article 1.

1.1                   Seller Representatives

1.1.1                For the fleet of fifty (50) Aircraft, the Seller shall provide to the Buyer the services of Seller customer support representatives (each a “Seller Representative”), at each Initial Operator’s facility or such other locations as the Parties may agree from time to time, for a total of:

[*] man-months, earned at a rate of [*] per Aircraft.

For sake of clarity, man-month is unit of assigning any Seller Representative service provided per month, independent of the representative’s gender.
