In accordance with the Specification, the Seller will install those items of equipment that are identified in the Specification as being furnished by the Buyer (“Buyer Furnished Equipment” or “BFE”), provided that the BFE and the supplier of such BFE (the “BFE Supplier”) are referred to in the Airbus BFE Product Catalog valid at the time the BFE Supplier is selected.

18.1.2

Notwithstanding the foregoing and without prejudice to Clause 2.4, if the Buyer wishes to install BFE manufactured by a supplier who is not referred to in the Airbus BFE Product Catalog, the Buyer will so inform the Seller ***** In addition, it is a prerequisite to such approval that the considered supplier be qualified by the Seller’s Aviation Authorities to produce equipment for installation on civil aircraft. Any approval of a supplier by the Seller under this Clause 18.1.2 will be performed at the Buyer’s expense. The Buyer will cause any BFE supplier approved under this Clause 18.1.2 (each an “Approved BFE Supplier”) to comply with the conditions set forth in this Clause 18 and specifically Clause 18.2.

Except for the specific purposes of this Clause 18.1.2, the term “BFE Supplier” will be deemed to include Approved BFE Suppliers.

18.1.3

The Seller will advise the Buyer of the dates by which, in the planned release of engineering for the Aircraft, the Seller requires from each BFE Supplier a written detailed engineering definition encompassing a Declaration of Design and Performance (the “BFE Engineering Definition”). The Seller will reasonably provide to the Buyer and/or the BFE Supplier(s), the interface documentation necessary for development of the BFE Engineering Definition.

The BFE Engineering Definition will include the description of the dimensions and weight of BFE, the information related to its certification and the information necessary for the installation and operation thereof, including when applicable 3D models compatible with the Seller’s systems. The Buyer will furnish, or cause the BFE Suppliers to furnish, the BFE Engineering Definition by the dates advised by the Seller pursuant to the preceding paragraph after which the BFE Engineering Definition will not be revised, except through an SCN executed in accordance with Clause 2.

18.1.4

The Seller will also provide in due time to the Buyer a schedule of dates and the shipping addresses for delivery of the BFE and, where requested by the Seller, additional spare BFE to permit installation in the Aircraft in a timely manner. The Buyer will provide, or cause the BFE Suppliers to provide, the BFE by such dates in a serviceable condition. The Buyer will, upon the Seller’s request, provide to the Seller dates and references of all BFE purchase orders placed by the Buyer.

The Buyer will also provide, when requested by the Seller, at Airbus Operations S.A.S. in Toulouse, France, and/or at Airbus Operations GmbH, Division Hamburger Flugzeugbau in Hamburg, Germany, adequate field service including support from BFE Suppliers to act in a technical advisory capacity to the Seller in the installation, calibration and possible repair of a BFE.

The Buyer hereby agrees to participate in such meetings and to provide adequate technical and engineering expertise to reach decisions within a timeframe specified by the Seller.

In addition, prior to Delivery of the Aircraft to the Buyer, the Buyer agrees:

(i)

to monitor the BFE Suppliers and ensure that they will enable the Buyer to fulfil its obligations, including but not limited to those set forth in the Customization Milestone Chart;

(ii)

to attend the Source Inspection (“SI”) that takes place at the BFE Supplier’s premises prior to shipping, for each shipset of all Major BFE. Should the Buyer not attend such SI, the Buyer will delegate the SI to the BFE Supplier and confirmation thereof will be supplied to the Seller in writing. Should the Buyer not attend the SI, the Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the conclusions of the BFE Supplier with respect to such SI.

The Seller will be entitled to attend the PDR, the CDR and the FAI. In doing so, the Seller’s employees will be acting in an advisory capacity only and at no time will they be deemed to be acting as Buyer’s employees or agents, either directly or indirectly.

18.1.6

The BFE will be imported into France or into Germany by the Buyer under a suspensive customs system (Régime de l’entrepôt douanier ou régime de perfectionnement actif or Zollverschluss) without application of any French or German tax or customs duty, and will be delivered on a DDU basis, to the following shipping addresses:

*****

5	General Provisions

5.1

Roundings

The Labor Index average and the Material Index average will be computed to the first decimal. If the next succeeding place is five (5) or more, the preceding decimal place will be raised to the next higher figure.

Each quotient shall be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimals). If the next succeeding place is five (5) or more, the preceding decimal place will be raised to the next higher figure.

The final factor will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimals).

The final price will be rounded to the nearest whole number (0.5 or more rounded to 1).

5.2	Substitution of Indexes for Seller Price Revision Formula

If,

(i)

the United States Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology of calculation of the Labor Index or the Material Index as used in the Price Revision Formula, or

(ii)

the United States Department of Labor discontinues, either temporarily or permanently, such Labor Index or such Material Index, or

(iii)

the data samples used to calculate such Labor Index or such Material Index are substantially changed,

the Seller will select a substitute index for inclusion in the Price Revision Formula (the “Substitute Index”).

The Substitute Index will reflect as closely as possible the actual variance of the labor costs or of the material costs used in the calculation of the original Labor Index or Material Index as the case may be.

As a result of the selection of the Substitute Index, the Seller will make an appropriate adjustment to the Price Revision Formula to combine the successive utilization of the original Labor Index or Material Index (as the case may be) and of the Substitute Index.

*****
