Dear Tom:

 

IAE is pleased to submit to JetBlue this Side Letter No. 17 to the Agreement (as defined below) in support of JetBlue’s firm purchase from Airbus of thirty (30) incremental A320 Aircraft powered by V2527-A5 Propulsion Systems (the “2004 Firm Incremental Aircraft”), and its option to purchase thirty (30) A320 Aircraft powered by V2527-A5 Propulsion Systems (the “2004 Option Aircraft”, the 2004 Incremental Aircraft and the 2004 Option Aircraft are referred to collectively herein as the “2004 Incremental Aircraft”), all for delivery in accordance with the delivery schedule set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto.

 

The 2004 Incremental Aircraft shall constitute ‘Aircraft’ for all purposes under the Agreement, except as otherwise noted herein.  All other Firm Aircraft (not including the 2004 Incremental Aircraft or Aircraft firmed up prior to Side Letter No. 13) that have not been delivered to JetBlue as of the date of this Side Letter shall be referred to herein as the “Existing Firm Aircraft”, and those firmed up under Side Letter No. 13 only shall be referred to as the ‘Incremental Firm Aircraft’ hereunder.  Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as those given to them in the V2500 General Terms of Sale Agreement between JetBlue Airways Corporation (“JetBlue”) and IAE International Aero Engines AG (“IAE”) dated May 4, 1999 (the “Agreement”).

EXHIBIT B

 

ESCALATION FORMULA

 

1.               Any unit base price or other sum expressed to be subject to escalation from a base month to a month of delivery or other date of determination in accordance with the IAE Escalation Formula will be subject to escalation in accordance with the following formula:

 

Pi

 

=

 

(Pb+F) x CPI where:

 

 

 

 

 

Pi

 

=

 

the invoiced purchase price or escalated sum rounded to the nearest U.S. Dollar.

 

 

 

 

 

Pb

 

=

 

unit base price or other sum.

 

 

 

 

 

F

 

=

 

*** (N)(Pb)

 

 

 

 

 

N

 

=

 

the calendar year of scheduled delivery or other date of determination minus 2003

 

 

 

 

 

CPI

 

=

 

*** (L) + *** (M)

 

 

 

 

 

L

 

=

 

Labor Ratio defined below

 

 

 

 

 

M

 

=

 

Material Ratio defined below

 

IAE’s Composite Price Index (“CPI”) is the sum of *** percent of the Labor ratio and *** percent of the Material Ratio, with the sum rounded to the nearest ten thousandth.

 

The quarterly value published for the Employment Cost Index will be deemed to apply to each month of the quarter.

 

The Labor Ratio is the “Employment Cost Index (ECI) Wages and Salaries for Aircraft Manufacturing, SIC Code 3721” as published at the time of scheduled engine delivery by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the month of scheduled delivery for each engine/equipment; divided by the value of SIC Code 3721 for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the base month.

The Material Ratio is the “Producer Price Indexes, Industrial Commodities” as published at the time of scheduled engine delivery by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the month of scheduled delivery for each engine/equipment; divided by the value for Industrial Commodities for the arithmetic average of the fifth, sixth and seventh months (rounded to the nearest tenth) preceding the base month

 

For a given month, the escalation shall be computed by using the applicable Index value, which the Bureau has published as the time of delivery or other date of determination.

 

2.                                       If the U.S. Department of Labor changes the base year for determination of the Index values as defined above, such re-based values will be incorporated in the escalation calculation.

 

3.                                       If the U.S. Department of Labor revises the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the CPI or, for any reason, has not released values needed to determine the CPI, IAE, in its sole discretion, shall select a substitute for such values from data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or otherwise make revisions to the escalation formula such that the escalation will as closely as possible approximate the result that would have been attained by continuing the use of the original escalation formula and values as they may have fluctuated during the applicable time period.

 

4.                                       The invoiced purchase price, which in no event shall be less than the unit base price, shall be the final price.  If the calculated sum of L + M is less than 1.0000, then the value of the sum is adjusted to 1.0000.
