SECTION II – TERMS AND CONDITIONS

ARTICLE 1 – PRODUCTS

A.	Airline may purchase under the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, Products as may be offered for sale by CFM > in quantities and in configurations reasonably required to support Airline’s activities and the aircraft applications operated by Airline in connection therewith.

In order to assure that an adequate supply of CFM Spare Engines are available to support the worldwide operating fleet of CFM powered aircraft, CFM reserves the option, for a limited period of time following the sale of Spare Engines to Airline, to repurchase Spare Engines which Airline proposes to utilize for other than its own operating purposes.

Accordingly, if prior to the accumulation of ***** Flight Hours on any Spare Engine sold hereunder, Airline elects to a) offer such Spare Engine for resale or b) undertake action to cause components or parts of such Spare Engine to be made available for sale, Airline shall give CFM prompt advance written notice of such determination (“Airline’s Notice”). Promptly upon receipt of such notice, CFM shall have the option to repurchase the Spare Engine from Airline (the “CFM Repurchase Option”) at the lower of (i) the net price (the CFM quoted spare engine price less any allowances or other credits available to, and exercised by, Airline) at which such Spare Engine was sold by CFM to Airline less an amount to cover any use and operation of the Spare Engine which, as agreed by the Parties, shall be equal to the then-current restoration charges per operating hours and cycles applicable to the equivalent CFM lease pool engine; or (ii) any lower amount contained in any current, bona fide offer made to Airline by a third party for such Spare Engine. CFM shall give Airline notice of its decision to decline or to exercise such CFM Repurchase Option within ***** of its receipt of Airline’s Notice. Fulfillment by CFM of the CFM Repurchase Option shall be conditional upon technical inspection, review and acceptance of the Spare Engine and its records by CFM and the execution of a mutually acceptable purchase agreement. If CFM Repurchase Option “(i)” is exercised by CFM, upon completion of the repurchase, CFM shall restore to Airline’s account any allowances and credits applied to reduce the CFM quoted spare engine price. For the avoidance of doubt, such CFM Repurchase Option shall not apply to any sale of a Spare Engine intended to secure sale/leaseback financing in connection therewith.

ARTICLE 2 – PRODUCT PRICES
