11. Seller agrees to make the Aircraft available to Purchaser at the time
of delivery to enable Purchaser to determine that the Aircraft is in the same

the repair of Aircraft as airworthy deficiencies are discovered during the
pre-purchase inspection.
12. To the extent that any manufacturer's warranties are still in effect

of the warranties and take such other reasonable steps to assist Purchaser to
process warranty claims directly with the manufacturers.

hereinabove set forth, (or to such other addresses as may hereafter be
designated in writing).
15. Seller shall not be liable for any failure of or delay in delivery of
the Aircraft for the period that such failure or delay is due to acts of God
or the public enemy; civil war, insurrection or riots; fires, explosions or
serious accidents; Governmental priorities or allocations; strikes or labor
disputes; inability to obtain aircraft, necessary materials, accessories,
equipment or parts from the manufacturers thereof; or any other cause beyond
Seller's control. In such notice, Seller will advise Purchaser either (A) of
its inability to deliver, and upon such notice this Agreement shall terminate
without further force and effect; or (B) of Seller's intention that it can
delivery the Aircraft within thirty (30) days of such notice, in which event,
Purchaser agrees to extend the time of delivery by Seller for such (30) day
period.
