The Service Policies, Warranties and Guarantees referred to in this
Article 4.2 are hereinafter called the "Warranties." The above Service Policies,
Warranties and Guarantees together form Exhibit E to this Contract.
4.3 The parties agree that those of the Warranties set out in Exhibit E-1
pursuant to Article 4.2.1 and Exhibit E-2 pursuant to Article 4.2.2, wherein AWA
may be referred to as the "Operator", shall also apply to any equipment which
falls within the categories of equipment referred to in the Warranties
manufactured, supplied or inspected by IAE howsoever and whenever (whether
before, on or after the date first above written) acquired by AWA from
whatsoever source including but not limited to any V2500 aero engines and any
associated equipment therefor, and any parts for such engines and associated
equipment which form part of any aircraft acquired from the manufacturer.
4.4 The Warranties are personal to AWA and the obligations of IAE
thereunder shall only apply insofar as AWA has acquired and operates the
Supplies covered thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Exhibits E-4 through E-9, if AWA subleases any of the Aircraft to a FAA or other
government certified commercial air carrier while maintaining ultimate
responsibility for maintenance and Warranty administration of the Aircraft, the
Warranties will continue to apply so long as the Aircraft are operated under
similar or better operating conditions and the other conditions of the
Warranties are fulfilled, subject to the terms and conditions of the Warranties.
4.5 AWA shall inform any person to whom it intends to sell, lease, loan or
otherwise dispose of any of the Supplies or equipment referred to in Article 4.3
above that such person may obtain from IAE a direct warranty agreement
incorporating those of the Warranties set out in Articles 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. AWA
shall also use its reasonable endeavors to ensure that such person shall enter
into a direct warranty agreement with IAE prior to delivery of any of the
Supplies or such equipment to such person.
4.6 IAE and AWA agree that the intent of the Warranties provided in
Article 4.2 is to provide specified benefits or remedies to AWA as a result of
specified events. It is not the intent however to duplicate benefits or remedies
provided to AWA by IAE or another source, e.g., another equipment manufacturer
or lessor, as a result of the same event. Therefore, the terms of the Warranties
notwithstanding, if the terms of the Warranties should make duplicate benefits
available to AWA from IAE or any third party, AWA may elect to receive the
benefits under the Warranties or under any other applicable guarantee, sales
warranty, service policy or any special benefit of any kind as a result of the
same event, but not both.
4.7 AWA accepts that the Warranties granted to AWA under Articles 4.1, 4.2
and 4.3 above together with the express remedies provided to AWA in respect of
the Supplies in accordance with this Contract are [***]

ESCALATION FORMULA
1. Any Basic Contract Price or other Sum expressed to be subject to
escalation from a Base Month to a month of delivery or other date of
determination will be subject to adjustment in accordance with the
following formula:
P = Pb ( 0.60 L + 0.30 M + 0.10 E )
Lo Mo Eo
Where:
P = The Invoiced Purchase Price or Escalated Sum rounded to the
nearest dollar.
1.
28
Pb = The Basic Contract Price or other Sum.
Lo = The "Average Hourly Earnings of Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts
Production Workers" SIC Code 3724 published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics in the U.S. Department of Labor for the month preceding
the Base Month by four months.
L = The "Average Hourly Earnings of Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts
Production Workers" SIC Code 3724 for the month preceding the month
of delivery or other date of determination by four months.
Mo = The "Producer Price Index, Code 10, For Metals and Metal Products"
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S. Department
of Labor for the month preceding the Base Month by four months.
M = The "Producer Price Index, Code 10, For Metals and Metal Products"
for the month preceding the month of delivery or other date of
determination by four months.
Eo = The "Producer Price Index, Code 5, For Fuel and Related Products
and Power" published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S.
Department of Labor for the month preceding the Base Month by four
months.
E = The "Producer Price Index, Code 5, For Fuel and Related Products
and Power" for the month preceding the month of delivery or other
date of determination by four months.
2. The values of the factors 0.60 L and 0.30 M and 0.10 E
L M E
respectively, shall be determined to the nearest fourth decimal
place. If the fifth decimal is five or more, the fourth decimal place
shall be raised to the next higher number.
3. If the U.S. Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology
of calculation of the indexes referred to in this Exhibit B or
discontinues any of these indexes, IAE will advise AWA of the
discontinuation. After consultation with AWA, IAE will apply a
substitute for the revised or discontinued index, such substitute index
to lead in application to the same adjustment result, insofar as
possible, as would have been achieved by continuing the use of the
original index as it may have fluctuated had it not been revised or
discontinued. Appropriate revision of the formula will be made to
accomplish this result. Should AWA disagree with IAE's selection, AWA
agrees to make payments to IAE for all but the sum related to the use
of the new indexes. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith to
substitute indexes.
4. The Basic Contract prices contained in this Exhibit B are subject to
escalation from a Base Month of July 1988 to the month of delivery using
Lo, Mo and Eo values for March 1988.
2.
29
5. If the application of the formula contained in this Exhibit B results in a
Purchase Price which is lower than the Basic Contract Price, the Basic
Contract Price will be deemed to be the Purchase Price for such Supplies.

spare parts order administration, and is the customer's interface on all matters
pertaining to new part planning and procurement. Each representative is
responsible for monitoring each assigned customer's requirements and providing
effective administrative support. The Account Representatives are thoroughly
familiar with each customer's spare parts ordering policies and procedures and
are responsible for ensuring that all customer new parts orders are processed in
an effective manner.
SPARE PARTS PROVISIONING PLANNING
Prior to delivery of the first new aircraft to an airline customer,
preplanning discussions will be held to determine the aircraft/engine program,
and engine spare parts provisioning and order plans. Mutually agreed upon
provisioning target dates are then established and on-time completion tracked by
the Customer Account Representative with the assistance of logistics specialists
in Spare Parts Provisioning and Inventory Management. Meetings are held with
airline customers at a mutually agreeable time to review suggested spare parts
provisioning lists prepared by spare parts Provisioning. These lists are
designed to support each customer's particular fleet size, route structure and
maintenance and overhaul program.
ORDER ADMINISTRATION
IAE subscribes to the general principles of Air Transport Association
of America (ATA) Specification No. 200, Integrated Data Processing - Supply. The
procedures of Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Specification No. 200
may be used for Initial Provisioning, (Chapter II) Order Administration (either
Chapter III or Chapter VI) Invoicing (Chapter IV).
A spare parts supply objective is to maintain a 90 percent on-time
shipment performance record to our published lead times. The lead time for
replenishment spare parts is identified in the IAE spare Parts Price Catalog.
Initial provisioning spare parts orders should be placed at least six months
prior to required delivery, while conversions and major modifications require
full manufacturing lead times.
The action to be taken on emergency requests will be answered as
follows:
- Aircraft-On-Ground (AOG) - within four hours (in these
instances every effort is made to ship immediately).
22.
60
- Critical (Imminent Aircraft-On-Ground (AOG) or Work Stoppage)
-- Within 24 hours.
- Stock Outage -- Within seven working days (these items are
shipped as per customer request).
SPARE PARTS INVENTORY
To ensure availability of spare parts in accordance with published lead
time, spare parts provisioning maintains a modern, comprehensive requirements
planning and inventory management system which is responsive to changes in
customer demand, special support programs and engineering design. Organized on
an engine model basis, this system is intended to maintain part availability for
delivery to customers consistent with published lead times.
A majority of parts in the spare parts inventory are continually
controlled by an Automatic Forecasting and Ordering System. Those parts which do
not lend themselves to automatic control due to supercedure, unusual usage or
conversion requirements are under the direct manual control of Spares Planning
personnel. As additional protection against changes in production lead time or
unpredicted demand, certain raw materials are also inventoried. Successful
inventory management is keyed to accurate requirements planning. In support of
the requirements planning effort, a wide ranging data retrieval and analysis
program is offered. This program concerns itself both with the customer
logistics and technical considerations as follows:
- Forecasts of life limited parts requirements are requested and
received semi-annually from major customers.
- Engine technical conferences are held frequently within IAE to
assess the impact of technical problems on parts.
- For a selected group of parts a provisioning conference system
is offered which considers actual part inventory change, including usage and
receipts, as reported monthly by participating customers.

EXHIBIT E-9
V2500 EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE GUARANTEE
I. INTRODUCTION
IAE covenants with AWA that during the first [***] hours of operation of
each V2500 Engine, the maximum stabilized takeoff exhaust gas temperature will
not exceed the Certified Limit. Under this Guarantee if it is confirmed that the
Certified Limit has been exceeded, IAE will credit AWA's account with IAE in the
amount equal to the pro rata cost to restore the Engine performance. Further, if
there are five or more confirmed Engine removals to restore Engine performance
during the term of this Guarantee, additional credits will be provided to AWA as
described in section II E below. For the purpose of this Guarantee, the
Certified Limit is exceeded if the Engine will not achieve the specified engine
pressure ratio for takeoff thrust without exceeding the Certified Limit for its
exhaust gas temperature.
II. GUARANTEE
A. PERIOD OF GUARANTEE
The Period of Guarantee for each Eligible Engine will begin as of
[***] and will terminate [***] from that [***] or upon the expiration of the
first [***] hours of operation of such Engine, whichever is the sooner.
B. ELIGIBLE ENGINES
The Engines that will be Eligible Engines under this Guarantee shall
be the Engines delivered with the Aircraft, the Purchased Items and S.A.L.E.
Engines. The Engines shall remain Eligible Engines provided that IAE
recommendations with respect to installation or maintenance are properly
implemented (proper implementation of such recommendations taking into
consideration the impact on AWA's operations).
C. RESTORATION OF INSTALLED ENGINE
If during the Period of Guarantee, the maximum stabilized takeoff
exhaust gas temperature of an Eligible Engine installed on an Aircraft operated
by AWA exceeds the Certified Limit, AWA shall undertake on-wing Engine
maintenance recommended by IAE, with technical assistance provided by IAE, to
restore the performance of that Engine.
D. CALIBRATION OF REMOVED ENGINE
If the performance of an installed Eligible Engine cannot be
restored by the maintenance recommended under Section II, Paragraph C, AWA shall
promptly remove such Engine from the Aircraft and dispatch it for calibration in
an IAE designated test cell. If such calibration verifies that the exhaust gas
temperature of the Engine is not in excess of the Certified Limit or it is
established that any excess is due to causes which are excluded by the General
Conditions in Section III, then the cost of such test cell calibration and
associated transportation will be borne by AWA. Otherwise, IAE will bear the
cost of the test cell calibration.

4. SPARE PARTS AND SPARE ENGINE DELIVERY ASSISTANCE.
4.1 In the event that AWA anticipates entering into a period of zero
spares (no serviceable spare Engines available) that will continue for at least
[***] days and such situation is due either to:
4.1.1 excessive turn times at AWA's maintenance provider and
such excessive turn times can be reasonably associated with IAE's inability to
deliver Spare Parts to the maintenance provider at the published lead times in
the then current IAE Spare Parts Catalog; or
4.1.2 a delay in delivery of a spare Engine purchased by AWA
pursuant to the Contract;
IAE will use diligent efforts to reposition a V2500-A5 spare engine to AWA's
facility in Phoenix. This engine will remain there until the zero spare
situation has been alleviated or until the spare engine is needed to satisfy an
Aircraft-on-Ground ("AOG") situation.
4.2 In the situation described in Clause 4.1 above, should AWA
require the use of the IAE lease pool engine positioned at AWA's facility in
Phoenix to alleviate an AOG situation, such engine shall be leased to AWA under
the then current IAE Standard Terms of Business Lease ("STOBL") except that
[***]
4.3 In a situation described in Clause 4.1 above which does not
relate to an excusable delay in delivery of a spare Engine purchased by AWA, if
IAE can not position an emergency lease pool engine in Phoenix and AWA is forced
to lease an engine from a third party to alleviate an AOG situation, IAE will
reimburse AWA for up to [***] percent ([***]%) of reasonable third party fees
(excluding hourly use charges) incurred by AWA during the period reasonably
necessary to alleviate the AOG situation. This reimbursement shall be in the
form of Spare Parts credits which will be issued upon IAE's receipt of an
original invoice issued by such third party which has been certified by AWA. The
benefit set forth in this clause 4.3 will not be available to AWA with respect
to any delays in delivery of spare Engine purchased by AWA pursuant to the
Contract for reasons set forth in Clause 6.1.1 of the Contract.
4.4 If IAE fails to have a V2500-A5 engine available for positioning
in the situation described in Clause 4.1 above, and AWA can not lease an engine
from a third party during an AOG situation, IAE will issue AWA Spare Parts
credits in an amount equal to of $[***] per day of the AOG situation up to a
maximum of $[***] of Spare Parts credits per occurrence. IAE's maximum
obligation pursuant to this Clause 4.4 shall be $[***]. The benefits set forth
in this Clause 4.4 will not be available to AWA with respect to any delays in
delivery of spare Engines purchased by AWA pursuant to the Contract for reasons
set forth in Clause 6.1.1 of the Contract.
4.5 IAE's obligations in this Clause 4 shall begin upon delivery of
the first Aircraft to AWA and terminate [***] years thereafter.
