Common use of Export Airworthiness Certificate Clause in Contracts

Export Airworthiness Certificate. 7.2.1 Each Aircraft will be delivered to the Buyer with the Export Airworthiness Certificate and shall have incorporated all means of compliance with all applicable EASA and FAA Airworthiness Directives, on a terminating basis if available, and in a condition enabling the Buyer (or an eligible person under then applicable law) to obtain at time of Delivery a standard airworthiness certificate issued pursuant to Part 21 of the US Federal Aviation Regulations. 7.2.2 If any law or regulation is promulgated or becomes effective or an interpretation of any law is issued before an Aircraft purchased under this Agreement is “Ready for Delivery” to the Buyer and which law, regulation or interpretation requires any change to the Specification as it may be modified pursuant to Clause 2 in order to obtain the Type Certificates and Export Airworthiness Certificate as hereinabove provided for such Aircraft, the Seller shall make the requisite variation or modification. The effect on price of such a change shall be borne: (i) by the Seller insofar as it results from laws, regulations or interpretations that are to be complied with by the Seller before the Delivery of the relevant Aircraft. In addition, the Seller will provide the Buyer with the kits and labor necessary to terminate any Airworthiness Directive or other “mandatory continuing airworthiness information” issued by the state of manufacture under Ch. 4.2 of Annex 8 to the international Convention on Civil Aviation that has been issued prior to the Delivery of the relevant Aircraft but which is not required to be terminated by the Seller, provided that such kits have been defined pursuant to the then applicable airworthiness requirement described above. (ii) by the Buyer for any operational requirements to be complied with by any Operator or changes other than those set forth in sub-paragraph (i) above. If the Seller anticipates that the Scheduled Delivery Month of any Aircraft will be postponed by reason of such change it shall promptly notify the Buyer and the provisions of Clause 10 (Excusable Delay) will apply. In the event of such a variation or modification being made pursuant to this sub-Clause, the parties hereto shall sign a SCN, in which the effects, if any, upon performances, weights, interchangeability and Delivery shall be specified and agreed between the Buyer and the Seller. 7.2.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-Clause 7.2.2, if any such change is applicable to Propulsion Systems, engine accessories, quick engine change units or thrust reversers, or to Buyer Furnished Equipment, the costs of such change shall be borne in accordance with such arrangements as may be made separately between the Buyer and the Propulsion System and/or Buyer Furnished Equipment manufacturers. 7.2.4 The Seller shall as far as practicable take into account the information available to it concerning any proposed new regulations of the Seller's Aviation Authorities in order to minimize the costs of changes which may appear necessary to obtain the Export Airworthiness Certificate after such proposed new regulations have become mandatory. 7.2.5 In the event that type certification has not been previously undertaken by the Seller in a country where the Buyer intends to lease an Aircraft to an Initial Operator, then subject to due notice from the Buyer to the Seller at least nine months prior to the month of delivery of the relevant Aircraft (or such lesser period that the Seller acting reasonably agrees is practicable), the Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain such type certification, and shall not charge the Buyer with its costs for the necessary documentation and justification work to demonstrate the aircraft specification compliance for such type certification purposes. 7.2.6 Upon the Buyer's request, to be provided to the Seller with adequate notice, the Seller shall identify the changes that may be required in order for an Aircraft to be eligible for a standard airworthiness certificate to be issued by the airworthiness authority designated by the Buyer for the registration of such Aircraft (the “Designated Airworthiness Authority”). Where the Buyer's Designated Airworthiness Authority requires a modification to comply with additional import aviation requirements and/or supply of additional data, prior to the issuance of the Export Airworthiness Certificate, the Seller shall incorporate such modification and/or provide such data at costs to be borne by the Buyer, provided that the Buyer's request is made at a time reasonably in advance of the Scheduled Delivery Month for such Aircraft and in accordance with the Seller's lead times for specification changes. [***] Confidential treatment requested by AerCap Holdings N.V.

If the Seller anticipates that the Scheduled Delivery Month of the relevant Aircraft will be postponed by reason of such change it shall promptly notify the Buyer and the Scheduled Delivery Month of such Aircraft as provided in sub-Clause 9.1 will be extended to the extent of such postponement.
