PRODUCT SUPPORT PLAN

(Covers Airline’s Purchased Aircraft, and Leased Aircraft)

SECTION I - SPARE PARTS PROVISIONING

A.	Provisioning Data

In connection with Airline’s initial provisioning of spare Parts, CFM shall furnish Airline with data in accordance with ATA Specification 2000 using a revision mutually agreed to in writing by CFM and Airline. The data shall be presented to Airline within a reasonable time period so as to enable Airline to order Parts and have delivery prior to first Aircraft delivery.

B.	Return Of Parts

Airline shall have the right to return to CFM, at CFM’s expense, any new or unused Part which has been shipped in excess of the quantity ordered or which is not the part number ordered or which is in a discrepant condition except for damage in transit.

C.	Parts Buy-Back

Within the first three (3) years after delivery of the first Aircraft to Airline, CFM will agree (i) to repurchase at the invoiced price, any initially provisioned spare Parts purchased from CFM that CFM recommended that Airline purchase, in the event Airline finds such Parts to be surplus to Airline’s needs or if such parts become obsolete due to service bulletins or airworthiness directives; or (ii) to exchange with Airline the equivalent value thereof in other Spare Parts as Airline may elect. Such Parts must be new and unused, in original CFM packaging, and shall meet CFM inspection requirements. Parts that become surplus to Airline’s needs by reason of Airline’s decision to upgrade or dispose of Products (other than, in either case, due to service bulletins or Airworthiness Directives) are excluded from this provision. Shipping costs for Parts returned will be paid by CFM.

D.	Parts of Modified Design

CFM shall have the right to make modifications to design or changes in the spare Parts sold to Airline hereunder in each case the change shall be in CFM’s opinion, a change which improves the quality or performance of the parts.

CFM will from time to time inform Airline in accordance with the means set forth in ATA Specification 2000, when such spare Parts of modified design become available for shipment hereunder.

Spare Parts of the modified design will be supplied unless Airline advises CFM in writing of its contrary desire within ninety (90) days of the issuance of the Service

B-1

CFM PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

(subject to restrictions on cover page)

GENERAL TERMS AGREEMENT NO. CFM-03-2007

E.	Spare Parts Availability

CFM will maintain a stock of spare Parts to cover Airline’s emergency needs. For purposes of this Paragraph, emergency is understood by CFM and Airline to mean the occurrence of any one of the following conditions:


AOG	-	Aircraft on Ground
Critical	-	Imminent AOG or Work Stoppage
Expedite	-	Less than Normal Lead Time

Airline will order spare Parts according to lead time as provided in Paragraph 1. above, but should Airline’s spare Parts requirements arise as a result of an emergency, Airline can draw such spare Parts from CFM’s stock. A 24-hour Customer Response Center is available to Airline for this purpose. If an emergency does exist, CFM will use its best efforts to ship required spare Part(s) within the time period set forth below following receipt of an acceptable purchase order from Airline:


AOG	-	4 Hours
Critical	-	24 Hours
Expedite	-	7 Days

In case of an imminent AOG caused by an Excusable Delay, Airline will be free to acquire CFM certified Products and Parts from other sources, and any such purchase will not represent any violation to this Agreement.

All Airworthiness Directives (“AD”) issued (regardless of the permitted compliance date) by the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States, Colombia Aviation Administration and any other foreign aviation authority having jurisdiction over the operations of Airline or its affiliates prior to the delivery date of any Engine to Airline shall be accomplished or performed prior to such delivery date unless the AD states that the necessary actions can be accomplished at the next shop visit, in which case it may be performed at such shop visit.

In the event of an AOG and provided Airline has procured the recommended number of Spare Engines, Airline will have access to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Engine Services (SES) lease pool after paying the required access fees which is currently $50,000 per year for the first Spare Engine access, and $45,000 per year for the second.
