ARTICLE 4 - PRICE
4.1 (a) The base price for each of the Aircraft is set out in Article
2 of the applicable Supplement.
(b) The base price of the Buyer Selected Optional Features is set
out in the applicable Supplement.
4.2 The Aircraft Purchase Price (as defined in the applicable Supplement)
does not include any taxes, fees or duties including, but not limited
to, sales, use, value added (including the Canadian Goods and Services
Tax), personal property, gross receipts, franchise, excise taxes,
assessments or duties which are or may be imposed with respect to the
Aircraft and other related services. Bombardier agrees to bear and pay
when due, to assume liability for, and to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Buyer from, any and all taxes, duties, imposts and similar
charges, including penalties and interest of any nature ("Taxes") that
are both: (a) levied, assessed, charged or collected for or in
connection with (i) the fabrication, manufacture, modification,
assembly, transfer, sale (including any corresponding use tax),
delivery of or export from Canada of any Aircraft before, at or in
connection with the actual delivery or exportation thereof (even if
such tax is assessed at later date) (and provided such Taxes are not
payable as a result of Buyer having a connection with Canada other than
being a party to this Agreement and purchasing and accepting delivery
of the Aircraft in Canada) or (ii) the payment of any amount by
Bombardier to Buyer contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) imposed
upon Bombardier or Buyer by Canada or any provincial or local
government or taxing authority thereof. Buyer will promptly export the
Aircraft from Canada following delivery and will not divert the same
for use, consumption, sale or other disposition in Canada subsequent to
actual delivery and prior to export. If Buyer fails to promptly export
the Aircraft from Canada following delivery, Bombardier will not have
any obligation under this Article 4.2 to the extent that Taxes covered
by this Article 4.2 are payable as a result of such failure. Bombardier
further agrees to bear and pay when due, to assume liability for, and
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from any and all costs and
liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with defending any claims for the costs and liabilities
described in this Article 4.2. If any Canadian Taxes, including any
Taxes assessed by Canada or any provincial or local government or
taxing authority thereof, are required to be deducted or withheld from,
or paid in connection with, any payments required to be made by this
Article 4.2, Bombardier shall either pay such Canadian Taxes directly
to the taxing authority or reimburse Buyer so that Buyer ultimately
receives the amount it would have received if no such Canadian Taxes
had been imposed. However, this Article 4.2 shall not apply to any
claim against Buyer for which Buyer is otherwise entitled to
indemnification from Bombardier under this
Schedules to MPA 497 Initials:
Mesa Air Group 11 Buyer_______Bombardier_______
12
Article 4.2 unless Buyer notifies Bombardier in writing of such claim,
and, further provided, that upon written request of Bombardier, Buyer
will, if then permitted by law, permit Bombardier to contest or protest
such Taxes at Bombardier's expense and provide reasonable cooperation
to Bombardier in such contest or protest.
If Bombardier pays any Taxes in accordance with the above and Buyer is
entitled to a total or partial refund of or other form of relief
(including the benefit of a tax credit) from such Taxes that does not
arise from and is not otherwise attributable to the duplicate payment
of such Taxes by Buyer, Buyer shall, upon the request of Bombardier,
irrevocably assign the right to such refund or other form of relief
(including the benefit of a tax credit) to Bombardier or, if such an
assignment would be illegal or unenforceable, take whatever action is
required to obtain such refund or other form of relief (including the
benefit of a tax credit) (at Bombardier's expense) and remit the
proceeds therefrom to Bombardier.
In the event that there is a change in Canadian or United States law,
rules or regulations, which has a material adverse taxable effect on
either Bombardier or Buyer in connection with the fabrication,
manufacture, modification, assembly, sale, delivery, transfer or export
of any Aircraft to Buyer or its designee, Bombardier and Buyer will
cooperate to effect the delivery of the Aircraft in a jurisdiction or
take such other appropriate action which will minimize the impact of
such a change in Canadian or United States law, rules or regulations,
on the affected party, taking into account any Taxes resulting from
delivery of the Aircraft in such jurisdiction, provided no additional
out of pocket expenses will be incurred by the non-affected party by
the change in delivery location.
In addition, Bombardier agrees to bear and pay when due, to assume
liability for, and to indemnify defend and hold harmless Buyer, from,
any and all taxes, sanctions, fees or duties of any kind or nature
resulting in consequence or growing out of any trade disputes that are
levied against or imposed upon Buyer in connection with Buyer's
purchasing of the Aircraft, after all Buyer's legal and contractual
rights have been exhausted at Bombardier's cost, or alternatively after
Buyer has, at Bombardier's request, subrogated Bombardier in all of its
legal and contractual rights in respect of the same subject to a
mutually agreed upon subrogation agreement and such subrogated legal
and contractual rights have been exhausted.
Upon either party's request, the other party shall execute and deliver
to the requesting party any documents reasonably requested by the
requesting party in connection with any available exemption from,
reduction of, contestation of or defense against any imposition of
Taxes that the requesting party is required to pay or reimburse.

4.3 The price of the Aircraft shall be the Base Price adjusted for changes
made pursuant to Article 11.1 and any Regulatory Changes pursuant to
Article 8A.1 (other than any such Regulatory Change which is to be made
without additional charge to Buyer pursuant to Article 8A.2) and/or
reduction for applicable Aircraft credits, and further adjusted to the
Delivery Date to reflect economic fluctuations during the period from
[***] to the Delivery Date of each Aircraft (the Base Price, as
adjusted, the "Aircraft Purchase Price"). Such adjustments shall be in
accordance with the economic adjustment formula attached as Appendix 1
("Economic Adjustment Formula") [***]-provided that (i) in the case of
an Excusable Delay (as defined in Article 13), [***]-shall be made with
respect to the period by which delivery of the Aircraft was delayed as
a result of such Excusable Delay, and (ii) in the case of a
Non-Excusable Delay (as defined in Article 14), [***]; and provided
further that when adjusted, the Aircraft Purchase Price shall in no
case be lower than the Aircraft Base Price, as stipulated in Article

ARTICLE 7 - BUYER INFORMATION
7.1 During the manufacture of the Aircraft, Buyer shall provide to
Bombardier on or before the date specified below or, if no date is
specified on or before the date reasonably required by Bombardier, all
information as Bombardier may reasonably request to manufacture the
Aircraft including, without limitation, the selection of furnishings
and internal and external colour schemes.
Within sixty (60) days of signing this Agreement, Buyer shall:
(a) provide Bombardier with an external paint scheme agreed on by
the parties, (for the avoidance of doubt, an external paint
scheme similar to and not significantly more complicated than
that currently employed by Buyer is acceptable to Bombardier);
(b) select interior colours; and
(c) provide to Bombardier, on such drawings if and as are
forwarded to Buyer by or at the request of Bombardier,
language translations for interior and exterior Aircraft
labels.
Failure of Buyer to comply with these requirements may result
in an increase in price equal to Bombardier's additional
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, a delay in delivery of the
Aircraft, or both, in either case, reasonably related to
Buyer's failure. Bombardier shall use its reasonable efforts
to prevent or minimize any such delay or price increase.
7.2 Unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto, not later than nine (9)
months prior to the Scheduled Delivery Month of the applicable Aircraft
to be delivered pursuant to the applicable Supplement, Buyer shall
notify Bombardier in writing of the Buyer furnished equipment ("BFE")
(if any) that Buyer wishes to have incorporated into each Aircraft.
Buyer shall also provide details of:
(a) weights and dimensions of the BFE;
(b) test equipment or special tools required to incorporate the
BFE; and
(c) any other information Bombardier may reasonably require.
Within sixty (60) calendar days thereafter, Bombardier shall advise
Buyer of the reduction of the Aircraft Purchase Price if such BFE is to
replace
Schedules to MPA 497 Initials:
Mesa Air Group 17 Buyer_______Bombardier_______
18
Bombardier supplied equipment and of the dates by which each item of
BFE is reasonably required by Bombardier. If required the parties
hereto shall execute a Change Order in accordance with Article 11.1 to
cover such BFE.
7.3 The BFE shall be incorporated in the manufacturing process of the
Aircraft subject to the following conditions:
(a) Title to the BFE shall remain at all times with Buyer and risk
of loss of the BFE shall remain at all times with Buyer except
for damages caused by Bombardier's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
(b) Buyer shall bear the costs of delivery of the BFE to
Bombardier's plant or such other place as Bombardier may
reasonably designate, which shall be made no later than the
date notified pursuant to Article 7.2, free and clear of any
taxes, duties, licenses, charges, liens or other similar
claims;
(c) The BFE shall meet:
1) reasonable standards of quality of Bombardier, and
2) the requirements of the applicable airworthiness
certification agency;
(d) The BFE shall be delivered to Bombardier in good condition and
ready for immediate incorporation into the Aircraft.
Bombardier shall, upon receipt, inspect the BFE as to quantity
and apparent defects and inform Buyer of any discrepancies and
the required corrective actions to be taken;
(e) Bombardier shall only be responsible for the fitment and
testing of the BFE in the Aircraft using reasonable care and
good manufacturing practices, in accordance with Buyer's
written detailed description of the dimensions and weight of
such BFE. Buyer shall also furnish information necessary for
its proper storage, fitment, servicing, maintenance and
operation and regarding availability of test equipment or
special tools;
(f) BOMBARDIER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND IS
HEREBY RELIEVED OF ANY LIABILITY, WARRANTY OR OTHER OBLIGATION
WITH RESPECT TO THE BFE AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES ALL EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS INCLUDING THOSE OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OR OTHERWISE AND ALL OTHER
LIABILITY (STRICT OR OTHERWISE) ON THE PART OF BOMBARDIER, BE
IT IN
Schedules to MPA 497 Initials:
Mesa Air Group 18 Buyer_______Bombardier_______
19
FACT, IN LAW, IN CONTRACT, OR IN TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION THE ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT
PRODUCTS LIABILITY OF BOMBARDIER OR ITS AFFILIATES), OR
OTHERWISE, IN CONNECTION WITH THE BFE OR ITS DESIGN,
SUITABILITY, USE OR OPERATION.
7.4 If at any time between receipt of the BFE by Bombardier and the
Delivery Date, it is reasonably determined by Bombardier that an item
of BFE supplied does not meet the standards and requirements described
above or its fitment, integration and testing in the Aircraft or
Aircraft systems create delays in the manufacturing or certification
process, then such BFE may be removed and replaced by other BFE or, if
not available, by Bombardier's equipment. All reasonable costs
associated with the removal, refitment, replacement, testing,
certification and/or reasonable delays in the Delivery Date of the
Aircraft resulting therefrom shall be borne by Buyer, provided that
Bombardier shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any such delays
and costs.
7.5 In the event that the delivery of an Aircraft is delayed due to any
delay caused by Buyer's failure to:
(a) deliver or have BFE delivered by the date required;
(b) ensure satisfactory design, suitability, use or operation of
the BFE;
(c) furnish or obtain applicable BFE data;
(d) perform any adjusting, calibrating, retesting or updating of
BFE;
(e) furnish or obtain any approvals in compliance with the
provisions of this Article; or
(f) comply with the conditions of this Article,
Bombardier agrees to discuss with Buyer and to take such steps
reasonably appropriate to minimize, cure, eliminate or work around the
delay, but any such delay incurred shall be the responsibility of Buyer
and Buyer shall pay to Bombardier any reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Bombardier due to such delay to the extent unavoidable by
Bombardier using its reasonable efforts.
7.6 Should there be a delay in delivery caused either by an event outlined
in 7.5 above or by an event to which reference is made in Article 13 in
connection with the BFE, and if such delay cannot reasonably be
minimized, cured, eliminated or worked around by agreement of the
parties, Buyer agrees that
Schedules to MPA 497 Initials:
Mesa Air Group 19 Buyer_______Bombardier_______
20
Bombardier may deliver the Aircraft without installing the, delayed or
nonconforming BFE, and Buyer agrees to take delivery of and pay for the
Aircraft unless such BFE is required to obtain the FAA Certificate of
Airworthiness for the Aircraft in which event Bombardier shall provide
Buyer with a revised Readiness Date in respect of the applicable
Aircraft. For the avoidance of doubt, the Economic Adjustment Formula
in Appendix 1 attached hereto will apply in full with respect to the
events outlined in 7.5 above to the extent that the occurrence of any
such event causes any delay in the delivery which was unavoidable by
Bombardier using its reasonable efforts to prevent the same.
7.7 If this Agreement is terminated in whole or in part in accordance with
the provisions hereof Bombardier may elect to, by written notice to
Buyer, either:
(a) purchase the BFE ordered by Buyer and/or received by
Bombardier at a mutually agreeable price; or
(b) return the BFE to Buyer Free Carrier (Incoterms 2000)
Bombardier's plant, or such other place that Bombardier may
designate within Canada or in the 48 contiguous United States.

ARTICLE 8 - CERTIFICATION FOR EXPORT
8.1 Bombardier has obtained or will at no charge to Buyer obtain from
Transport Canada, Airworthiness ("TC"), a TC Type Approval (Transport
Category) and from the Federal Aviation Administration of the United
States ("FAA") an FAA Part 25 Type Certificate for the type of aircraft
purchased under this Agreement and any applicable Supplement. Such
certificates will be valid on the applicable delivery date. Bombardier
will also provide a TC Certificate of Airworthiness for export on or
before the Readiness Date and any other certificates and permits agreed
upon by Buyer and Bombardier and expressly provided for in this
Agreement or any applicable Supplement.
8.2 Other than as required by 8.1 above Bombardier shall not be obligated
to obtain any certificates or approvals as part of this Agreement;
except that Bombardier shall obtain (a) any certificates required to be
obtained by the manufacturer of commercial aircraft to permit the
general operation of the Aircraft under those requirements of the FAA
FAR Part 25 regulations generally applicable to United States
certificated air carriers and (b) any certificates required to be
delivered in connection with a Regulatory Change. Prior to 11:00 am
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma time on the Delivery Date, Bombardier shall
provide proof that the Aircraft is de-registered or that it was not
registered in Canada. In addition, Bombardier shall use reasonable
efforts to de-register the Aircraft and provide the proof described in
the preceding sentence as soon as reasonably practicable following
confirmation that no further acceptance flight is required for such
Aircraft. Except as otherwise required under this Article 8, the
obtaining of any other import license or authority required to import
the Aircraft into or operate the Aircraft in any country outside of
Canada shall be the responsibility of Buyer. Bombardier shall on behalf
of Buyer and to the extent permitted by law, and with Buyer's
reasonable assistance, seek the issuance of any Canadian export
licenses or permits required to enable Buyer to export the Aircraft
from Canada and/or the import of the Aircraft into the United States in
each case in accordance with prevailing export and import control
regulations in effect on the Delivery Date. Notwithstanding the
assistance to be provided to Buyer as set forth in the preceeding
sentence, it is Buyer's responsibility to secure such other permits or
licenses required for the export of the Aircraft from Canada and/or the
import of the Aircraft into the United States. Buyer will indemnify
Bombardier for any out of pocket expenses, costs and fees Bombardier
incurs to obtain such export permits and licenses.
8.4 If the use of any of the certificates identified in this Article 8 are
discontinued during the performance of this Agreement, reference to
such discontinued certificate shall be deemed a reference to any other
certificate or instrument
Schedules to MPA 497 Initials:
Mesa Air Group 21 Buyer_______Bombardier_______
22
which corresponds to such certificate or, if there should not be any
such other certificate or instrument, then Bombardier shall be deemed
to have obtained such discontinued certificate(s) upon demonstrating
that the Aircraft otherwise complies with all of the conditions
required to be met on the Delivery Date of the Aircraft.
8.5 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement relating to Regulatory
Changes and changes mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto,
Bombardier shall be responsible for all certifications and approvals
related to the installation of the engines and related hardware and
software, if any, on the Aircraft at no cost to Buyer, provided,
however, Bombardier may include in the price of changes requested by
Buyer the cost of obtaining the related certificates and approvals.
8.6 Buyer is not required to accept delivery of any Aircraft that does not
possess as and when required by this Agreement any certificate required
to be obtained by Bombardier on or prior to the Readiness Date and that
remains valid on the Delivery Date pursuant to Article 8. Buyer is not
required to accept delivery of any Aircraft if that Aircraft is not in
a condition that makes it immediately eligible for the issuance of (i)
the certificates required by Article 8 where Bombardier is required
pursuant to Article 8 to deliver the Aircraft in a condition that
permits the immediate issuance of such certificates and (ii) the FAA
Certificate of Airworthiness upon entry into the United States.
8.7 Bombardier shall make available for inspection the FAA required
maintenance logbooks for the Aircraft on or before the Readiness Date
for the Aircraft.

Aircraft and correction of any material defects or material
discrepancies:
(a) Buyer will sign a Certificate of Acceptance (in the form of
Exhibit I hereto) for the Aircraft. Execution of the
Certificate of Acceptance by or on behalf of Buyer shall be
evidence of Buyer having examined the Aircraft and found it in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement but shall
not, except to the extent of such acknowledgement, constitute
a waiver of Buyer's rights under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Warranty, Service Life Policy or any
letter agreement executed and delivered by the parties hereto
in connection with this Agreement. The date of signature of
the Certificate of Acceptance shall be the "Acceptance Date";
(b) Bombardier will supply a TC Certificate of Airworthiness/for

shall be deemed to be in default of the terms of this Agreement with
respect to all the undelivered Aircraft governed by the applicable
Supplement.

the conditions specified in paragraph 2.0 and is in compliance with
FAR 25 take-off requirements.
The missions are flown in ISA conditions throughout.
A fixed allowance of fuel dependent on take-off weight is considered
for take-off and acceleration to initial climb speed at [***] ft
above the airport elevation.
Climb is made starting [***] ft above the airport elevation to the
initial cruise pressure altitude specified in the table above using a
climb speed schedule of [***] KCAS/ [***] M.
Cruise is at the pressure altitude specified in the table at an
average cruise Mach number of [***] M. Thrust during cruise is not to
exceed maximum cruise thrust.
When a second cruise pressure altitude is specified in the table, a
[***] ft step climb from the first to the second pressure altitude is
made using a climb speed schedule of [***] KCAS/ [***] M. It is
followed by a cruise at the second pressure altitude at an average
cruise Mach number of [***] M.
Descent is made from the final cruise pressure altitude to [***] ft
above the runway elevation using a descent speed schedule of [***]

6.0 GUARANTEE COMPLIANCE
6.1 Compliance with take-off and landing performance guarantees shall be
demonstrated by reference to the approved FAA Airplane Flight Manual
adjusted to reflect any differences due to change in certification
requirements or interpretation thereof.
6.2 Compliance with speed, specific air range and mission performance
guarantees shall be established by calculations based on [***]
measurements of specific air range at different altitude, weight and
speed combinations to be agreed by ▇▇▇▇ and the Customer. This
compliance will be obtained for a Customer Aircraft and will be
demonstrated by reference to the Flight Planning and Cruise Control
Manual adjusted to reflect flight test data measurements.
6.3 A compliance report containing speed and specific air range performance
based on flight test data agreed in 6.2 will be furnished to the
Customer.
6.4 The Aircraft will be weighed as necessary prior to and after the flight
during which performance checks are conducted. The standard production
instrumentation or a special instrumentation system furnished by ▇▇▇▇
will be used to measure speed and specific air range. A fuel sample
will be collected prior to flight to establish density and lower
heating value (refer to 5.7).
6.5 If speed and the arithmetic average of three measures of specific air
range data is demonstrated to have achieved compliance with the
performance guarantees no further demonstration will be required.
6.6 Data derived from tests shall be adjusted as required by conventional
methods of correction, interpolation or extrapolation in accordance
with established aeronautical practices to show compliance with the
performance guarantees. In the event that changes are introduced to the
Aircraft which affect the performance guarantees contained herein, ▇▇▇▇
shall adjust the compliance referred to in paragraph 6.3 above
accordingly.

a subsequent Aircraft, which may be specially instrumented for this
purpose, with the objective of identifying accurately the cause of the
shortfall and to develop corrective measures. Such measures shall be
developed within a period of twelve (12) months from discovery and
identification of a shortfall (or such other longer period as may be
mutually agreed in view of the corrective measures involved).
7.2 If, during the period commencing at delivery of the First Aircraft and
expiring [***] years later, the guaranteed Operating Weight Empty
mentioned herein is exceeded as a result of (a) Airworthiness
Directives, or (b) Service Bulletins recommended by Bombardier as
necessary either to correct a defect that is the fault of Bombardier or
Bombardier"s supplier, restore reliability or maintainability to
guaranteed levels, or maintain performance specified herein, c)

allegation of the deficiency.
(ii) If the allegation is found to be true and a deficiency is
acknowledged, then Bombardier will promptly initiate steps
to correct the deficiency, and
(iii) Until such time as the identified and acknowledged
deficiency is corrected Bombardier will provide to Buyer as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty (the "Weight
Remedy") credit memoranda (or cash less any amounts owed to
Bombardier by Buyer), to be used for the purchase of goods
and services from Bombardier in amounts based on the
following formula:
Remedy = [***]
Where:
Remedy = The amount Bombardier shall pay Buyer as liquidated damages

Remedy shall begin the year in which the Operating Weight
Empty discrepancy has been discovered, subject to a maximum
for the term of this guarantee of per Aircraft.
[***] [***] [***] [***] [***]
In the event the CG limits change which results in reduced payload
capability for each affected Aircraft, a remedy shall apply as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, which shall be computed by
applying the same formula as the Weight Remedy, except that the WI
shall be the number of pounds of ballast (only the amount of ballast
which results in exceedance of the guaranteed Operating Weight Empty)
required to restore original CG limits to each affected Aircraft.
If Buyer adds to or modifies the Aircraft for reasons other than those
given in the previous paragraph, with the result being an increase in
the Operating Weight Empty, then the Parties shall amend the Guaranteed
Operating Weight Empty.

shortfall and to develop corrective measures. Such measures shall be
developed within a period of twelve (12) months from discovery and
identification of a shortfall (or such other longer period as may be
mutually agreed in view of the corrective measures involved).
7.2 If, during the period commencing at delivery of the First Aircraft and
expiring [***] years later, the guaranteed Operating Weight Empty
mentioned herein is exceeded as a result of (a) Airworthiness
Directives, or (b) Service Bulletins recommended by Bombardier as
necessary either to correct a defect that is the fault of Bombardier or
Bombardier"s supplier, restore reliability or maintainability to
guaranteed levels, or maintain performance specified herein, c)

5.2 FAR take-off and landing performance are based on the requirements of
FAR 25 amended with FAA NPRM 93-8 document. Additionally these
performance are contigent upon certification of the aircraft with the
1-g stall speed as the basis for compliance with FAR 25 amended with
FAA NPRM 95-17 document.
5.3 Take-off and landing performance guarantees are based on operation from
hard surfaced, level and dry runways with no wind, no line-up allowance
and no obstacle unless noted otherwise and with anti-skid and automatic
spoilers operative.
5.4 When establishing the take-off performance, no air shall be bled from
the engine(s) for cabin air conditioning or anti-icing and APR shall be
armed and available when one engine fails. The APU shall be on.
5.5 Speed, specific air range, and the climb, cruise, and descent portion
of the mission guarantee include allowance for normal engine bleed and
power extraction. Normal engine bleed is defined as the bleed required
to maintain a cabin pressure altitude not exceeding [***] feet at the
maximum operating altitude with an average cabin ventilation rate of
not less than [***] ft3 /min ([***] m3 /min) and a cabin temperature
of [***] (deg)F) ([***] (deg)C).
5.6 Normal power extraction assumes a load of 45 HP per engine with both
engines operative and a load of 65 HP with one engine inoperative.
5.7 Fuel density is assumed to be [***] pounds / US gallon ([***] kg/l).
All performance guarantees are based on the use of a fuel with a lower

acknowledged, then Bombardier will promptly initiate steps to
correct the deficiency, and
(iii) Until such time as the identified and acknowledged deficiency
is corrected Bombardier will provide to Buyer as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty (the "Weight Remedy") credit
memoranda (or cash less any amounts owed to Bombardier by
Buyer), to be used for the purchase of goods and services from
Bombardier in amounts based on the following formula:
Remedy = [***]
Where:
Remedy = The amount Bombardier shall pay Buyer as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, in the form of spare
parts and/or services credit memorandum, per calendar

discrepancy has been discovered, subject to a maximum
for the term of this guarantee of $[***] per
Aircraft.
[***] [***] [***] [***] [***]
In the event the CG limits change which results in reduced payload
capability for each affected Aircraft, a remedy shall apply as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, which shall be computed by
applying the same formula as the Weight Remedy, except that the WI
shall be the number of pounds of ballast (only the amount of ballast
which results in exceedance of the guaranteed Operating Weight Empty)
required to restore original CG limits to each affected Aircraft.
