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

 

Spirit Airlines - A320 FAMILY – PA      31   


  (iv) arising from failure to conform to the Specification, except as to those portions of the Specification that are expressly stated in the Specification to be estimates or approximations or design aims.

 

     For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Warranted Part” will mean any Seller proprietary component, equipment, accessory or part, which is installed on an Aircraft at Delivery and (a) which is manufactured to the detail design of the Seller or a subcontractor of the Seller and (b) which bears a part number of the Seller at the time of Delivery.

 

12.1.2 Exceptions

 

     The warranties set forth in Clause 12.1.1 will not apply to Buyer Furnished Equipment, Propulsion Systems, or to any component, accessory, equipment or part purchased by the Buyer that is not a Warranted Part, provided, however, that:

 

  (i) any defect in the Seller’s workmanship in respect of the installation of such items in the Aircraft, including any failure by the Seller to conform to the installation instructions of the manufacturers of such items that invalidates any applicable warranty from such manufacturers, will constitute a defect in workmanship for the purpose of this Clause 12.1 and be covered by the warranty set forth in Clause 12.1.1(ii), and

 

  (ii) any defect inherent in the Seller’s design of the installation, considering the state of the art at the date of such design, that impairs the use of such items will constitute a defect in design for the purposes of this Clause 12.1 and be covered by the warranty set forth in Clause 12.1.1(iii).

 

12.1.3 Warranty Periods

 

     The warranties described in Clauses 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 hereinabove will be limited to those defects that become apparent within ***** after Delivery of the affected Aircraft, (the “Warranty Period”).

However, the Seller may furnish a credit to the Buyer for the future purchase of goods and services (not including Aircraft) equal to the price at which the Buyer is then entitled to acquire a replacement for the defective Warranted Part. Unless otherwise agreed, any replacement part shall have no fewer cycles, hours, or less calendar time remaining or be of a lesser modification status than the replaced Warranted Part would have had in the absence of the relevant defect.

The parties expressly agree and declare that damages for material breach of this Agreement by the Buyer resulting in a Termination of this Agreement as to any or all Aircraft have been liquidated at amounts which are reasonable in light of the anticipated or actual harm caused by the Buyer’s breach, the difficulties of proof of loss and the nonfeasibility of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy. It is understood and agreed by the parties that the amount of liquidated damages set forth herein is the total amount of monetary damages, no more and no less, to which the Seller will be entitled for and with respect to any Aircraft as recovery for material breach of this Agreement by Buyer resulting in a Termination by the Seller of this Agreement as to such Aircraft.

 

21.1.5 The terms “Affected Aircraft, Applicable Date and “Escalated Price” are defined as follows:

Spirit Airlines - A320 FAMILY – PA      88   


 

any failure by the Buyer to notify the Seller will not prejudice the Seller’s rights or remedies hereunder.

 

21.2 If at any time prior to Scheduled Delivery Date of an Aircraft, the Seller has reasonable grounds for insecurity as to the ability of the Buyer to perform its obligation to take Delivery of such Aircraft, then the Seller will send the Buyer a written demand for adequate assurance of performance. If adequate assurance acceptable to the Seller is not received within thirty days following the date of such written demand, then the Seller will have the right to either (a) exercise the remedies provided under Section 2-609 of the Uniform Commercial Code or (b) exercise any of its remedies under Clause 21.2 of this Agreement.

5 General Provisions

 

5.1 Roundings

The Labor Index average and the Material Index average will be computed to the first decimal. If the next succeeding place is five (5) or more, the preceding decimal place will be raised to the next higher figure.

Each quotient will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimals). If the next succeeding place is five (5) or more, the preceding decimal place will be raised to the next higher figure.

The final factor will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimals).

The final price will be rounded to the nearest whole number (0.5 or more rounded to 1).

 

5.2 Substitution of Indexes for Airframe Price Revision Formula

If;

 

  (i) the United States Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology of calculation of the Labor Index or the Material Index as used in the Airframe Price Revision Formula, or

 

  (ii) the United States Department of Labor discontinues, either temporarily or permanently, such Labor Index or such Material Index, or

 

  (iii) the data samples used to calculate such Labor Index or such Material Index are substantially changed;

AVSA will select a substitute index for inclusion in the Airframe Price Revision Formula (the “Substitute Index”).

The Substitute Index will reflect as closely as possible the actual variance of the labor costs or of the material costs used in the calculation of the original Labor Index or Material Index, as the case may be.

As a result of the selection of the Substitute Index, AVSA will make an appropriate adjustment to the Airframe Price Revision Formula to combine the successive utilization of the original Labor Index or Material Index (as the case may be) and of the Substitute Index.

For

 

Spirit Airlines – A320 Family Aircraft   LA1-21


purposes of this Paragraph 12, the term “Lessor” refers to the Seller and the term “Lessee” refers to the Buyer. Parts not included in Appendix “A” to this Paragraph 12 may be supplied under a separate lease agreement between the Seller and the Buyer or as mutually agreed by the parties.

 

12.2 Lease Procedure: Spare Parts Leased

At the Lessee’s request by telephone (to be confirmed promptly in writing), facsimile, letter or other written instrument, the Lessor will lease Leased Parts, which will be made available in accordance with Paragraph 4.2.3 of this Letter Agreement 1, to the Lessee as substitutes for parts removed from an Aircraft for repair or overhaul. Each lease of Leased Parts will be evidenced by a lease document (“Lease”) issued by the Lessor to the Lessee no later than seven (7) business days after delivery of the Leased Part.

 

12.3 Lease Term: Return

The term of the lease (“Lease Term”) will commence on the date of receipt of the Leased Part by the Lessee or its agent at the Lessor’s facility and will end on the date on which such Leased Part is returned to the Lessor. The Lease Term will not exceed thirty (30) days, unless extended by written agreement between Lessor and Lessee within such thirty (30)-day period (no one such extension to exceed an additional thirty (30) days). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lease Term will end in the event, and upon the date, of exercise of the Lessee’s option to either purchase or exchange the Leased Part, as provided herein.

 

12.4 Lease Charges and Taxes

The Lessee will pay the Lessor (a) *****, (b) any reasonable additional costs which may be incurred by the Lessor as a direct result of such Lease, such as inspection, test, repair, and repacking costs as required to place the Leased Part in satisfactory condition for Lease to a subsequent customer, (c) all transportation and insurance charges and (d) any taxes, charges or customs duties imposed upon the Lessor or its property as a result of the lease, sale, delivery, storage or transfer of any Leased Part (the “Lease Charges”). All payments due hereunder will be made in accordance with Paragraph 6 of this Letter Agreement 1.

 

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

 

Spirit Airlines – A320 Family Aircraft   LA1-22


In the event that the Leased Part has not been returned to the Lessor’s designated facilities within the time period provided in Paragraph 12.3 above, the Lessor will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy it may have at law or under this Paragraph 12, to charge to the Lessee, and the Lessee will pay, the charges referred to in this Paragraph 12.4 accruing for each day after the end of the Lease Term and for as long as such Leased Part is not returned to the Lessor and as though the Lease Term were extended to the period of such delay.

 

12.5 Title

Title to each Leased Part will remain with the Lessor at all times unless the Lessee exercises its option to purchase it in accordance with Paragraph 12.8 of this Letter Agreement 1, in which case title will pass to the Lessee in accordance with Paragraph 7 of this Letter Agreement 1.

 

12.6 Risk of Loss

Except for normal wear and tear, each Leased Part will be returned to the Lessor in the same condition as when delivered to the Lessee. The Lessee will not without the Lessor’s prior written consent, modify or alter any Leased Part. Risk of loss or damage to each Leased Part will remain with the Lessee until such Leased Part is redelivered to the Lessor at the return location specified in the applicable Lease. If a Leased Part is lost or damaged beyond repair, the Lessee will be deemed to have exercised its option to purchase the part in accordance with Paragraph 12.8 of this Letter Agreement 1, as of the date of such loss or damage.

 

12.7 Record of Flight Hours

All flight hours accumulated by the Lessee on each Leased Part during the Lease Term will be documented by the Lessee. Records will be delivered to the Lessor upon return of such Leased Part to the Lessor.

Spirit Airlines – A320 Family Aircraft   LA1-23


Such documentation will include but not be limited to evidence of incidents such as hard landings, abnormalities of operation and corrective action taken by the Lessee as a result of such incidents.

 

12.8 Option to Purchase

 

12.8.1 Option to Purchase

The Lessee may at its option, exercisable by written notice given to the Lessor, elect during or at the end of the Lease Term to purchase the Leased Part, in which case the then current purchase price for such Leased Part as set forth in the Seller’s Spare Parts Price List will be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor. The immediately preceding sentence will apply to new Leased Parts only. In the event the Leased Part is used, ***** of the then current catalog price for the new part with a part number corresponding to such Leased Part will be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor. Such option will be contingent upon the Lessee providing the Lessor with evidence satisfactory to the Lessor that the original part fitted to the Aircraft is beyond economical repair. Should the Lessee exercise such option, ***** of the Lease rental charges already invoiced pursuant to Paragraph 12.4(a) will be credited to the Lessee against the said purchase price of the Leased Part.

Subject to the provisions of Clause 7.3, each Aircraft will be delivered to the Buyer with an Export Certificate of Airworthiness issued by the DGAC, or the LBA, as applicable, and in a condition enabling the Buyer (or an eligible person under then applicable law) to obtain immediately and without repair, maintenance or modification at the time of Delivery a Standard Airworthiness Certificate issued pursuant to Part 21 of the US Federal Aviation Regulations. ***** However, the Seller will have no obligation, whether before, at or after Delivery of any Aircraft, to make any alterations (including all related costs) to such Aircraft to enable such Aircraft to meet FAA or U.S. Department of Transportation requirements for specific operation on the Buyer’s routes, except as may be provided for in this Agreement.

If the FAA requires a modification to comply with additional aircraft import requirements and/or supply of additional data before the issuance of the Export Certificate of Airworthiness, the parties hereto will sign an SCN for such modification which, the Seller will incorporate as specified in such modification and/or the Seller will provide such data, in either case, at costs to be borne by the Buyer.

7.3.1 If, any time before the date on which the Aircraft is Ready for Delivery, any law, rule or regulation is enacted, promulgated, becomes effective and/or an interpretation of any law, rule or regulation is issued by the EASA that requires any change to the Specification for the purposes of obtaining the Export Certificate of Airworthiness (a “Change in Law”), the Seller will make the required modification and the parties hereto will sign an SCN.
