6.0 PAYMENT/PRICING

6.1 Product Pricing

Estimated prices for Products scheduled for delivery under this Agreement are set forth in Attachment A. Prices are in United States dollars, EXW (INCOTERMS 2000) LMI Aerospace, Inc., Savannah, Georgia. Prices include an estimated Base Price and an estimated Nonrecurring Price. It is understood between the parties that the price estimates, which are provided by LMI, are based on a Kit of parts deemed similar to the 767 program. Within a reasonable time after receipt of engineering drawings and finalization of designs post flight test, LMI will submit its final Base Price and final Nonrecurring Price on a revised Attachment A which will be considered an amendment to this Agreement if accepted by APB. APB will indicate its acceptance by countersigning the revised Attachment A and returning it to LMI.

If the Base Price or the Nonrecurring Price for the final engineered parts is substantially higher than LMI's estimated price, then LMI and APB will review engineering changes on a part by part basis versus the quoted estimated price, and endeavor to resolve through discussion the price differences.

Under such provisions, if the parties are unable to reach agreement on final prices, APB may exercise its right to request price estimates from third parties to produce Products or components of Products. If APB is able to obtain a lower price quotation of either the Base Price or the Nonrecurring Price, then APB may elect to procure Products from third parties, and will not be obligated to purchase any further Shipsets under Section 2.3.

6.2 Payment

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Order, payment of the Base Price will be paid Net 30 days from date of invoice except as otherwise agreed to by the parties. Invoicing will take place on completion of the Product and submission of Certificate of Conformity ("C of C"). All payments will be made by check, and are subject to adjustment for shortages, credits and rejections.

6.3 Amortization of Nonrecurring Price

Any applicable nonrecurring costs will be amortized over the first 100 Shipsets. Any subsequent nonrecurring costs (caused by engineering change, for example) will be mutually negotiated between the parties and amortized over the Shipsets remaining in the initial 100 Shipset buy.

If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of and/or the time required for the performance of any part of the work, whether changed or not changed by the change order, an equitable adjustment calculated in accordance with Section 10.3 shall be made in the price of or the delivery schedule for those Products affected, and the applicable

Master Agreement No. APB-LMI-001

Order shall be modified in writing accordingly. Any claim by LMI for adjustment under this Article 10.0 must be received by APB in writing no later than 60 days from the date of receipt by LMI of the written change order or within such further time as the parties may agree in writing or such claim shall be deemed waived. Nothing in this Section 10.1 shall excuse LMI from proceeding with an Order as changed, including failure of the parties to agree on any adjustment to be made under this Article 10.0.

10.2 Examination of Records for Changes

LMI shall maintain complete and accurate records related to all change orders. Such records shall itemize accurately and completely all services performed, allowances claimed and costs incurred by LMI in the performance of each change order, including but not limited to those factors which comprise or affect direct labor hours, direct labor rates, material costs, burden rates and subcontracts. Such records and other data shall be capable of verification through audit and analysis by APB and be available to APB at LMI's facility for APB's examination and audit at all reasonable times from the date of the applicable change order until three years after final payment under such Order. LMI shall provide assistance to interpret such data if requested by APB. Such examination shall provide APB with complete information regarding LMI's performance for use in price negotiations with LMI relating to existing or future orders for Products, including but not limited to negotiation of equitable adjustments for changes and termination/obsolescence claims pursuant to Article 10.0. APB shall treat all information disclosed under this Section as confidential.

10.3 Computation of Equitable Adjustment

F. Remedies Generally

No failure on the part of APB in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or as provided by law or in equity, shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right or remedy, or shall be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default or as acquiescence therein. No single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No acceptance of partial payment or performance of any of LMI's obligations hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or a waiver or release of payment or performance in full by LMI of any such obligation. All rights and remedies of APB hereunder and at law and in equity shall be cumulative and not mutually exclusive and the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other.

G. Contractual Liability

LMI shall be liable to APB for the timely and proper performance of its obligations under this Agreement and, except to the extent of the indemnities and specific remedies as set out in the Agreement, shall be liable for all direct costs, direct losses, damages and liabilities, including without limitation costs and expenses incidental thereto such as but not limited to legal fees which may be incurred by APB as a consequence of the failure by LMI to comply with its obligations under the Agreement or as a consequence of the termination of the Agreement. APB agrees to provide LMI with the breakdown of the said costs, losses, damages and liabilities referenced above in this Section 14.2.

15.0 EXCUSABLE DELAY

If delivery of any Product is delayed by unforeseeable circumstances beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of LMI or of its suppliers or subcontractors (any such delay being hereinafter referred to as "Excusable Delay"), the delivery of such Product shall be extended for a period to be determined by APB after an assessment by APB of alternate work methods. Excusable Delays may include, but are not limited to, acts of God, war, riots, acts of government, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, strikes or unusually severe weather, but shall exclude among other things, LMI's noncompliance with any rule, regulation or order promulgated by any governmental agency, or nonperformance of LMI suppliers. However, the above notwithstanding, APB expects LMI to continue production, recover lost time and support all schedules as established

In the event APB, in its sole discretion, elects not to purchase the Inventory, LMI may scrap the Inventory. Prior to scrapping the Inventory, LMI shall mutilate and/or render it unusable. LMI shall maintain, pursuant to their quality assurance system, records certifying destruction of the applicable Inventory. Said certification shall state the method and date of mutilation and destruction of the subject Inventory. APB or applicable regulatory agencies shall have the right to review and inspect these records at any time it deems necessary. In the event LMI elects to maintain the Inventory, LMI shall maintain accountability for the inventory and LMI shall not sell or provide the Inventory to any third party without prior specific written authorization from APB. Failure to comply with these requirements shall be a material breach and grounds for default pursuant to Article 14.0.

36.0 CONFIGURATION CONTROL OF PRODUCTS

After the issuance of the STC, LMI agrees not to make any change in materials or design details which would affect the Product or any component part thereof including without limitation (a) part number identification, (b) physical or functional interchangeability, or (c) repair and overhaul procedures and processes and material changes which affect these procedures, without prior written approval of APB. LMI will place this Article 36.0 clause in all its subcontracts for LMI identified purchased equipment whether such equipment is supplied to LMI as an end item or as a component part of an end item.
