SCHEDULE A
PART III-DELIVERY CONDITION REQUIREMENTS
Set forth below is a description of the condition in which the Aircraft must be in order for Lessee to be
obligated to accept the Aircraft under the Lease. It is solely a description of such condition precedent and
shall not be construed as a representation, warranty or agreement of any kind whatsoever, express or implied,
by Lessor with respect to the Aircraft or its condition, all of which have been disclaimed by Lessor and
waived by Lessee as set forth in the Lease, including in the Common Terms Agreement.
Delivery Condition Requirements:
1. The "Delivery Condition Requirements" for the Aircraft are as follows:
On Delivery, the Aircraft shall
(i) be new, ex factory and painted in Lessee's livery;
(ii) have a valid Export Certificate of Airworthiness for the United States;
(iii) have an issued FAR 121 Compliance Statement from the Manufacturer;
(iv) on or prior to the Delivery Date, have had accomplished all outstanding mandatory service
bulletins, Airworthiness Directives and similar requirements applicable to the Aircraft
having a compliance date prior to the Delivery Date or within 180 days after the Delivery
Date and which are required by the State of Design, the FAA or the Manufacturer.
(v) and otherwise be in the condition required for delivery pursuant to each of two Purchase
Agreements, dated July 16, 1996 and September 29, 1998, respectively, each between the
Manufacturer and GE Capital (each a "Purchase Agreement" and together, the "Purchase
Agreements") and the Airbus Aircraft Specification Number D.000.0200, Issue Number 4, dated
April 30, 1995, except as amended by change orders initiated by Lessor under the terms of
the Purchase Agreement, including as modified to include the additional GECC baseline SCNs
in accordance with the GECC A319 baseline specification Issue 1 (the "GECC A319 Baseline
Specification.")
2. Modifications (a) The Agreed Lessee Modifications shall be accomplished pre-delivery at the sole
cost and expense of Lessee. Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to accomplish all Agreed Lessee
Modifications prior to Delivery. Cost of all Agreed Lessee Modifications, including charges for any
"out of sequence production", shall be invoiced to Lessee upon Lessor's receipt of invoice
applicable to each individual Agreed Lessee Modification from the relevant third party vendor. If
Lessor notifies Lessee that any Agreed Lessee Modification cannot be accomplished prior to the
Delivery Date, including without limitation any delays in accomplishing such Modifications caused by
failure of Lessee to deliver any materials or parts to the Manufacturer by the required on-dock
dates as advised by Manufacturer, such Agreed Lessee Modification shall be excluded from the
Delivery Condition Requirements.
(b) Cost Adjustment. Lessor and Lessee agree that if all fees, costs and expenses invoiced to
Lessor directly attributable to the Agreed Lessee Modifications, including without limitation, the
order, purchase, delivery and installation on the Aircraft of the galleys, seats, avionics, APU and
wheels and brakes (collectively, the "BFE/SFE") selected by Lessee as part of the Agreed Lessee
Modifications are less than such fees, costs and expenses invoiced to Lessor for the BFE/SFE
selected by Lessor as part of the GECC A319 Baseline Specification, then upon the delivery of the
Aircraft, Lessor shall pay to Lessee the difference between (i) the Lessee selected BFE/SFE ,
pro-rata for such Aircraft leased by Lessee from Lessor, and (ii) the Lessor selected BFE/SFE for
such Aircraft. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor is subject to confidentiality agreements with its
vendors relating the price of the above referenced BFE/SFE. Lessor shall certify to Lessee the net
difference between the costs of Lessee selected BFE/SFE if less than the Lessor selected BFE/SFE.
(c ) Specification Credit. Lessee has requested that the items listed below in this clause (c )
(the "Listed Items") be removed from the GECC A319 Baseline Specification and not be included in the
Aircraft. Lessor shall, in its discretion, determine whether each Listed Item is, or is not,
removed from the Aircraft. In consideration thereof, Lessee hereby receives a credit for the
Aircraft in the amount of One Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) (the "Specification
Credit") (i) first, against any amounts due and payable by Lessee to Lessor relating to the cost of
any additions to the GECC A319 Baseline Specification selected by Lessee; (ii) second, to the extent
any Specification Credit remains, against any amounts due and payable by Lessee to Lessor relating
to the cost of any increase in BFE or SFE not already included in the GECC A319 Baseline
Specification and (iii) third, to the extent any Specification Credit remains, against any amounts
due and payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement. No Listed Items shall be included in the
cost adjustments provided in clause 2 (b) above.
