2. SPECIFICATION

 

2.1 Aircraft Specification

 

2.1.1 Specification

The Aircraft shall be manufactured in accordance with the Standard Specification applicable to the relevant Aircraft type, as stated in Clause 9 to this Agreement, as may have already been modified prior to the date of this Agreement by the Specification Change Notices listed in Exhibit A.

 

2.1.2 New Engine Option

 

2.1.2.1 The Seller is currently developing a new engine option (the “New Engine Option” or “NEO”), applicable to the A319, A320 and A321 type aircraft. The specification of the A319, A320 and A321 NEO Aircraft shall be derived from the current A319, A320 and A321 respective Standard Specification(s) and based on the new Propulsion Systems, as set forth in Clause 2.3 below, and Sharklets, combined with the required airframe structural adaptations, as well as Aircraft systems and software adaptations required to operate such A320 NEO Family Aircraft. The foregoing is currently reflected in the Irrevocable SCNs listed in Appendix 1 to Exhibit A, the implementation of which is hereby irrevocably accepted by the Buyer.

 

2.1.2.2 The New Engine Option shall modify the design weights of the Standard Specification(s) as follows:

 

     

A319-100

  

A320-200

  

A321-200

MTOW    [*]    [*]    [*]
MLW    [*](*)    [*](*)    [*](*)
MZFW    [*](*)    [*](*)    [*](*)

 

(*): It is agreed and understood that the above design weights may be updated upon final NEO specification freeze. MLW and MZFW are indicative design weights representative of the Aircraft incorporating the NEO Option. Variations in MLW and MZFW values might be made by the Seller in order to maintain the payload capability of the A320 NEO Family Aircraft compared to that of the A320 Family Aircraft.

 

2.2 Specification Amendment

The parties understand and agree that the Specification may be further amended following signature of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Clause 2.

 

2.2.1 Specification Change Notice

The Specification may be amended by written agreement between the parties in a Specification Change Notice (“SCN”). Each SCN shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit B and shall set out such SCN’s scope of implementation and will also set forth in

 

AVTA - A320 Family & A320 NEO Family PA

Clause 2 - Page 2/5


detail the particular change to be made to the Specification [*]. Such SCN may result in an adjustment of the Basic Price. SCNs will not be binding until signed by persons duly authorized to execute the same on behalf of the Seller and the Buyer.

 

2.2.2 Development Changes

Development changes (“Development Changes”) are changes deemed necessary by the Seller to improve the Aircraft, prevent delay or ensure compliance with this Agreement. The Specification may be revised by the Seller without the Buyer’s consent in order to incorporate Development Changes if such changes do not adversely affect price, time of Delivery of the Aircraft, weight or performance of the Aircraft, maintainability, operation, balance or interchangeability or replaceability of parts under the Specification. In any other case the Seller shall issue to the Buyer a Manufacturer Specification Change Notice (“MSCN”). [*].

 

2.2.2.1 Manufacturer Specification Change Notice

A proposed Development Change will require an amendment to the Specification by way of a Manufacturer’s Specification Change Notice (“MSCN”) when such Development Change requires Buyer’s approval pursuant to Clause 2.2.2. MSCNs provided to the Buyer will be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit B-3 hereto and will set out such MSCN’s scope of implementation as well as, in detail, the effects thereof and the particular change to be made to the Specification.

The Buyer’s written consent shall be required for each MSCN except in respect of an MSCN necessitated by an Aviation Authority mandatory directive or equipment obsolescence. If equipment obsolescence giving rise to an MSCN results in an increase in Final Price, then the Buyer and the Seller shall agree on any increase in Final Price based upon the extent to which the equipment installed in replacement for the obsolete equipment has any operational advantages to the Buyer. Clause 7.3 shall apply to any Aviation Authority mandatory directive effecting certification that gives rise to an MSCN. The Seller will use reasonable efforts to limit MSCNs issued to address equipment obsolescence.

The Buyer’s written consent shall be required for each MSCN except in respect of an MSCN necessitated by an Aviation Authority [*]directive or equipment obsolescence. [*].

If an MSCN requires Buyers written approval, then the Seller will deliver to the Buyer the contemplated MSCN and notify the Buyer of a reasonable period of time following the Buyer’s receipt of such notice in which the Buyer must accept or reject such MSCN.

 

2.2.2.2 The Seller is considering turning certain items, which are currently BFE in the Specification, into SFE and the parties agree that such BFE items shall be excluded from the provisions of Clauses 2.2.2 and 2.2.2.1 above and, should they become SFE, shall furthermore be chargeable to the Buyer.

  (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

12.4 Interface Commitment

 

12.4.1 Interface Problem

If the Buyer experiences any technical problem in the operation of an Aircraft or its systems due to a malfunction, the cause of which, after due and reasonable investigation, is not readily identifiable by the Buyer but which the Buyer reasonably believes to be attributable to the design characteristics of one or more components of the Aircraft (“Interface Problem”), the Seller shall, if so requested by the Buyer, and without charge to the Buyer, promptly conduct or have conducted an investigation and analysis of such problem to determine, if possible, the cause or causes of the problem and to recommend corrective action. The Buyer shall furnish to the Seller all data and information in the Buyer’s possession relevant to the Interface Problem and shall cooperate with the Seller in the conduct of the Seller’s investigations and such tests as may be required.

At the conclusion of such investigation, the Seller shall promptly advise the Buyer in writing of the Seller’s opinion as to the cause or causes of the Interface Problem and the Seller’s recommendations as to corrective action, including materials, if applicable.

If the Parties determine that the Interface Problem is attributable partially to the design of a Warranted Part and partially to the design of any Supplier Part, the Seller shall, if so requested by the Buyer and without charge to the Buyer, use reasonable commercial efforts to provide a solution to the Interface Problem through cooperative efforts of the Seller and any Supplier involved.

The Seller shall promptly advise the Buyer of such corrective action as may be proposed by the Seller and any such Supplier. Such proposal shall be consistent with any then existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of any such Supplier towards the Buyer. Such corrective action shall constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Buyer may have against either the Seller or any such Supplier with respect to such Interface Problem unless (i) reasonably rejected by the Buyer in which case Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to determine an alternative corrective action taking into consideration the reasons for Buyer’s rejection or (ii) such corrective action fails to resolve the Interface Problem.

  A. suspend its performance under this Agreement with respect to any or all Aircraft;

 

  B. reschedule the Scheduled Delivery Month of any or all Aircraft remaining to be delivered under this Agreement without prejudice to Seller’s rights under Clause 5.8.2;

 

  C. suspend or reschedule the date for performance under this Agreement with respect to any or all equipment, services, data and other items; and/or

 

  D. cancel or terminate this Agreement (a “Termination”) with respect to any or all Aircraft, and/or equipment, services, data and/or other items related thereto.

 

20.2.2 In the event Seller elects a remedy under any of Clauses 20.2.1(A)(B) or (C), above:

 

  A. Seller shall be entitled to any incidental damages incurred as a result of electing such remedy, including without limitation any commercially reasonable charges, expenses, commissions or costs of care or custody incurred in suspending or rescheduling performance after the Buyer’s breach or any costs identified in Clause 9.2.3.1;

 

  B. Buyer shall compensate Seller for such incidental damages within [*] days of Seller issuing an invoice for such damages to Buyer; and

 

  C. for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall preclude Seller from subsequently electing a Termination under 20.2.1(D), above.

  A. Seller may claim and receive payment from the Buyer, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, [*]

 

  B. Liquidated damages will be payable by the Buyer promptly, and in any event within [*] calendar days of the date of written notice and demand therefor from the Seller that the Buyer is in breach. The parties agree that the remedy of liquidated damages is not to be denied to the Seller due to the inability of the Seller to deliver a notice and demand for payment thereof due to the operation of law following a bankruptcy or other Termination Event under Clause 20.1(1) - (4).

 

AVTA - A320 Family & A320 NEO Family PA

Clause 20 - Page 2/6


20.2.4. The parties to this Agreement are commercially sophisticated parties acting within the same industry, and represented by competent counsel and the parties expressly agree and declare as follows:

 

  A. 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 that 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;

 

  B. 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; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt the foregoing shall not be deemed to preclude Seller’s entitlement to (i) incidental damages where it is electing remedies under Clause 20.2.1(A),(B) or (C), (ii) exercise any set-off or similar rights under Clauses 5.6 and 5.12 with respect to payments due under this Clause 20 or (iii) interest specified in Clause 5.8.1 with respect to any payments overdue under this Clause 20; and

 

  C. the liquidated damages provision of this Clause 20 has been fully negotiated by sophisticated parties represented by counsel, is a material component of the consideration granted and, in the absence of such liquidated damages provision, the consideration would have been materially different.
