EXCUSABLE DELAY

10.1
The Buyer acknowledges that the Aircraft are to be manufactured by Seller in performance of this AGTA and the relevant Purchase Agreement and that the Scheduled Delivery Months specifically set forth in the relevant Purchase Agreement 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 under this AGTA and/or under the relevant Purchase Agreement 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".

10.3
Termination on Excusable Delay

10.3.1
If the Delivery of any Aircraft is delayed as a result of an Excusable Delay for a period of more than *** after the last day of the Scheduled Delivery Month then either Party may terminate the relevant Purchase Agreement and the AGTA with respect to the Aircraft so affected by giving written notice to the other Party within *** after the expiry of such *** provided that the Buyer shall not be entitled to terminate the relevant Purchase Agreement and the AGTA pursuant to this Clause if the Excusable Delay results from a cause within its control.

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 a new 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 *** after the last day of the original Scheduled Delivery Month then the relevant Purchase Agreement and the AGTA 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 the relevant Purchase 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.

10.5
Termination Rights Exclusive

 
In the event that the relevant Purchase Agreement and the AGTA 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 with respect to such affected Aircraft and undelivered material, services, data or other items applicable thereto and neither Party shall have any claim against the other for any loss resulting from such non-delivery.

11.3
Termination

If, as a result of Non-Excusable Delay, Delivery does not occur in the period falling *** after the Delivery Period and the Parties have not renegotiated the Delivery Date pursuant to Clause 11.2, either Party shall have the right exercisable by written notice to the other Party, given not less than *** nor more than *** after expiration of such *** to terminate the relevant Purchase Agreement and the AGTA in respect of the affected Aircraft and neither Party shall have any claim against the other in respect of such nondelivery except that the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Predelivery Payments received from the Buyer under the relevant Purchase Agreement in respect of such affected Aircraft and shall pay to the Buyer any amounts due pursuant to Clause 11.1. and the relevant Purchase Agreement.

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

Buyer's Remedy and Seller's Obligation

12.1.4.1
The Buyer's remedy and the Seller's obligation and liability under Clauses 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 are limited to, at the Seller's expense and option, the repair, replacement or correction of any Warranted Part which is defective (or to the supply of modification kits rectifying the defect), together with a credit to the Buyer's account with the Seller of an amount equal to the mutually agreed direct labor costs expended in performing the removal and the reinstallation thereof on the Aircraft at the labor rate defined in Clause 12.1.7.5.

 
The Seller may alternatively furnish to the Buyer’s account with the Seller a credit equal to the price at which the Buyer is entitled to purchase a replacement for the defective Warranted Part.

12.1.4.2
In the event of a defect covered by Clauses 12.1.1 (iii), 12.1.1 (iv) and 12.1.2 (ii) becoming apparent within the Warranty Period, the Seller shall also correct such defect in any Aircraft which has not yet been delivered to the Buyer, provided, however,

 
(i)
that the Seller shall not be responsible nor deemed to be in default on account of any delay in Delivery of any Aircraft or otherwise, in respect of the performance of this AGTA or of the relevant Purchase Agreement due to the Seller's undertaking to make such correction and provided further

 
(ii)
that, rather than accept a delay in the Delivery of any such Aircraft, the Buyer and the Seller may agree to deliver such Aircraft with subsequent correction of the defect by the Buyer at the Seller's expense, or the Buyer may elect to accept Delivery and thereafter file a Warranty Claim as though the defect had become apparent immediately after Delivery of such Aircraft.

12.1.4.3
Cost of inspection

 
In addition to the remedies set forth in Clauses 12.1.4.1 and 12.1.4.2, the Seller shall reimburse the direct labor costs spent by the Buyer in performing inspections of the Aircraft to determine whether or not a defect exists in any Warranted Part within the Warranty Period.

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 additional charge to the Buyer except for transportation of the Seller's personnel to the Buyer's facilities, 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 such corrective action as may be feasible. 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.
