AGTA_Exhibit_C    2-6    Rev.: 11/23/04
BOEING PROPRIETARY


7.3.3    Reimbursement for Direct Labor hours to perform Corrections stated in a service bulletin will be based on the labor estimates in the service bulletin.

7.3.4    Boeing will provide to Customer a single, lump sum credit memorandum for Customer’s Direct Labor hours expended to incorporate the Corrections (other than of random anomalies) identified in service bulletins and service letters in all in-warranty aircraft covered by such service bulletins or service letters after Customer’s submission of a warranty claim and verification of the incorporation of such Corrections with respect to the first affected in-warranty aircraft.

7.3.5    Boeing will reimburse Customer’s freight charges associated with a Correction of a defect on a Boeing Product performed by its Authorized Agent or a third party contractor.

7.3.6    Maximum Reimbursement. Unless previously agreed in writing, the maximum reimbursement for Direct Labor and Direct materials for repair of a defective Boeing Product will not exceed 65% of Boeing’s then-current sales price for a new replacement Boeing Product. Inspection, removal, reinstallation labor, final testing, inspection and transportation costs are separate and are not to be included in the cost elements used to determine the 65% limit. By mutual agreement between Customer and Boeing, Boeing may provide a replacement Product to Customer in lieu of credit reimbursement.

8.    Corrections Performed by Boeing.

8.1    Freight Charges. Customer or its Authorized Agent will pre-pay freight charges to return a Boeing Product to Boeing. If during the period of the applicable warranty Boeing determines the Boeing Product to be defective, Boeing will pre-pay shipping charges to return the Corrected Boeing Product. Boeing will reimburse Customer or its Authorized Agent for freight charges for Boeing Products returned to Boeing for Correction and determined to be defective.

8.2    Customer Instructions. The documentation shipped with the returned defective Boeing Product may include specific technical instructions for additional work to be performed on the Boeing Product. The absence of such instructions will evidence Customer's authorization for Boeing to perform all necessary Corrections and work required to return the Boeing Product to a serviceable condition.

8.3    Correction Time Objectives.

8.3.1     Boeing's objective for making Corrections is 10 working days for avionics and electronic Boeing Products, 30 working days for Corrections of other Boeing Products performed at Boeing's facilities and 40 working days for Corrections of other Boeing Products performed at a Boeing subcontractor's facilities. The objectives are measured from the date Boeing receives the defective Boeing Product and a valid claim to the date Boeing ships the Corrected Boeing Product.

8.3.2    If Customer has a critical parts shortage because Boeing has exceeded a Correction time objective and Customer has procured spare Boeing Products for the defective Boeing Product in quantities shown in Boeing's Recommended Spare Parts List or, for 717 model aircraft only, in quantities shown in Boeing’s Spares Planning and Requirements Evaluation Model, then Boeing will either expedite the Correction or provide an interchangeable Boeing Product, on a no charge loan basis, until the Corrected Boeing Product is returned.

8.4    Title Transfer and Risk of Loss.

8.4.1    Title to and risk of loss of any Boeing Product returned to Boeing will at all times remain with Customer or any other title holder of such Boeing Product. While Boeing has possession of the returned Boeing Product, Boeing will have only such liabilities as a bailee for mutual benefit would have but will not be liable for loss of use.

8.4.2    If a Correction requires shipment of a new Boeing Product, then at the time Boeing ships the new Boeing Product, title to and risk of loss for the returned Boeing Product will pass to Boeing, and title to and risk of loss for the new Boeing Product will pass to Customer.

9.    Returning an Aircraft.

9.1    Conditions. An aircraft may be returned to Boeing's facilities for Correction only if:

(i)    Boeing and Customer agree a covered defect exists;

(ii)    Customer lacks access to adequate facilities, equipment or qualified personnel to perform the Correction; and

(iii)    it is not practical, in Boeing's estimation, to dispatch Boeing personnel to perform the Correction at a remote site.

9.2    Correction Costs. Boeing will perform the Correction at no charge to Customer. Subject to the conditions of Article 9.1, Boeing will reimburse Customer for the costs of fuel, oil, other required fluids and landing fees incurred in ferrying the aircraft to Boeing and back to Customer's facilities. Customer will minimize the length of both flights.

9.3     Separate Agreement. Prior to the return of an aircraft to Boeing, Boeing and Customer will enter into a separate agreement covering return of the aircraft and performance of the Correction. Authorization by Customer for Boeing to perform additional work that is not part of the Correction must be received within 24 hours of Boeing’s request. If such authorization is not received within 24 hours, Customer will be invoiced for work performed by Boeing that is not part of the Correction.

10.    Insurance.

The provisions of Article 8.2 "Insurance", of this AGTA, will apply to any work performed by Boeing in accordance with Customer's specific technical instructions to the extent any legal liability of Boeing is based upon the content of such instructions.

11.    Disclaimer and Release; Exclusion of Liabilities.
