Seller will notify Purchaser of any such revisions and, as soon as practicable, if the revisions will affect when the Aircraft is Ready for Delivery. Seller will not be liable to Purchaser for any delay resulting from revisions to the Specification; however, the provisions of Article 7. a. or b. will apply.

b. Late Configuration. If Purchaser does not provide a Detailed Configuration when required and the parties have not fully executed an Amendment to this Agreement identifying the Detailed Configuration within thirty (30) calendar days after such an Amendment is sent to Purchaser, then the Aircraft will be configured similar to Seller’s demonstration aircraft as selected by Seller and Purchaser will accept and pay for such configuration at the price designated by Seller.

 

c. Configuration Changes. Before any Purchaser requested configuration change is made both parties must agree to the change in a written Amendment to this Agreement. The mutually agreed to change may result in an adjustment to (i) the Total Purchase Price which will include the price of the change and Seller’s charge, if any, for the change, (ii) payment schedule and (iii) when the Aircraft is Ready for Delivery.

 

d. Indemnification. If Purchaser requests that Seller apply or incorporate any Purchaser specified designation, including, but not limited to, artwork, logo, design, paint scheme, trademark or trade name, Purchaser will be solely responsible for, and hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless for, any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and costs, including attorney fees, arising from claims of any infringement of any intellectual property rights.

If the parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement are canceled or terminated for any reason and Purchaser is entitled to reimbursement, the reimbursement is conditioned upon Purchaser discharging any Cape Town registration created by or through it or by persons claiming by or through it and presenting Seller with evidence of the discharge. Seller will be entitled to offset any costs, fees or expenses incurred as a result of Purchaser’s failure to discharge the registration.

 

6. PURCHASER’S NON-PERFORMANCE.

 

a. Cancellation or Termination. This Agreement may not be canceled or terminated by Purchaser except as set out in this Agreement.

 

b. Pre-delivery Breach.

The parties agree that Seller’s damages in the event of any pre-delivery breach of this Agreement by Purchaser are difficult to quantify, but that the liquidated damages identified herein are the parties reasonable estimate of those damages. In the event of any breach by Purchaser prior to Aircraft delivery, Seller is entitled to determine if Purchaser’s default will result in termination as to a specific Aircraft or as to all remaining undelivered Aircraft, retain all paid deposits for the terminated Aircraft and to receive from Purchaser all remaining deposits for the terminated Aircraft due at the time of Purchaser’s breach not as a penalty but as liquidated damages and thereafter the parties rights and obligations under this Agreement will end. Further, if Purchaser breaches this Agreement prior to delivery and any pilot or mechanic training course has been taken by or on behalf of Purchaser, then Purchaser will also reimburse Seller for such training at retail rates within ten (10) calendar days of the date of Seller’s invoice. The liquidated damages under this Section 6.b shall be the sole remedy to Seller in the event of Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement, and Seller waives any other remedies available at law or in equity, except as otherwise specified in this agreement.

 

c. Post-delivery Breach. The parties agree that if Purchaser fails to cause an Aircraft to depart Seller’s premises on the Delivery Date as set out in Article 4.c. (iii) Seller is entitled to receive from Purchaser reasonable liquidated damages for this breach in the amount of $1,000 per day from the day after the Delivery Date until that Aircraft departs Seller’s premises. The affected Aircraft will not be released until Purchaser has paid in full these post-delivery liquidated damages. Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against all losses, damages, claims, liabilities and causes of action of every kind, character or nature arising out of or related to Purchaser’s failure to cause the affected Aircraft to depart Seller’s premises on the Delivery Date.

(i) and Seller delivers on or before the end of the later agreed month of quarter, then Seller will not be liable to Purchaser for any damages.

 

b. Force Majeure Event. If Seller fails to deliver the Aircraft by the end of the Ready for Delivery month or quarter specified in Part 1 and the failure to timely deliver is the result of a Force Majeure Event which includes, but is not limited to, strikes, lockouts, or other labor or industrial disturbances, stoppages or slowdowns; riots or other civil unrest; epidemics; pandemics; war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts; governmental order, law, or action, inaction or regulation (including, but not limited to, preemptive priority allocation rights of the U.S. Government and Seller’s inability to obtain any governmental certification, export or airworthiness approval for the Aircraft); trade embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; fire or explosion; weather; delay in supplier deliveries, inadequate transportation services, inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials or other similar cause beyond Seller’s control, then Seller will not be liable to Purchaser for any damages if the Aircraft is delivered within 180 calendar days after the end of the Ready for Delivery month or quarter, or, the parties agree to a later Delivery Date as set out in Article 7.c.(ii).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time it becomes apparent Seller will not be able to deliver the Aircraft as scheduled because of a Force Majeure Event, Seller can forthwith refund to Purchaser all paid deposits without interest, the parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement will end and the parties will have no further liability to each other.

 

(iii) The parties agree Purchaser’s sole remedy for Seller’s failure to deliver or to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement is limited to the return of Purchaser’s paid deposits, plus interest, if applicable.

 

(iv) Interest to be paid to Purchaser under Article 7.c.(i) will be computed as follows: Interest on the deposit(s) will accrue daily and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed, starting on the date the deposit(s) is received by Seller and ending on the date Seller forwards the deposit(s) to Purchaser, and a year of 365 days at an annualized interest rate equal to the three-month CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) published by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange as of the first day in which Seller received the deposit(s), to be reset quarterly on the first business day of Seller’s fiscal quarters.

 

8. ASSIGNMENT. Purchaser may not assign this Agreement or any right, title, interest, duty or obligation under this Agreement (collectively “Assignment”) without Seller’s prior written consent. Subject to Seller’s due diligence and for purposes of Purchaser’s operational requirements, Seller will not unreasonably withhold such written consent for an assignment to: (i) a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser, (ii) to a recognized leasing company pursuant to Article 3. f., or (iii) to a recognized owner trustee identifying Purchaser as the beneficial owner for the purpose of U.S. aircraft registration. Seller will not consent to an Assignment to any business entity whose name includes one or more of Seller’s trademarks or trade names. A direct or indirect change of more than fifty-one percent (51%) of Purchaser’s ownership interest will be deemed an Assignment and breach of this Agreement unless Seller has specifically consented to the change in writing. Any attempted Assignment by Purchaser that does not conform with the terms of this Agreement will be null and void, constitute a breach of this Agreement and Seller will have the remedies set out herein. At no time prior to delivery will Purchaser engage in speculation or any attempted selling or marketing of the Aircraft or its delivery position either directly or through a third party.

9. CHOICE OF LAW AND JURISDICTION. Seller and Purchaser agree this Agreement will be deemed made and entered into and will be performed wholly within the State of Kansas and any dispute arising under, out of or related in any way to this Agreement, the legal relationship between Seller and Purchaser or the transaction that is the subject matter of this Agreement (collectively “Dispute”) will be governed and construed under the laws of the State of Kansas, USA, exclusive of conflicts of laws. Any Dispute will be adjudicated solely and exclusively in the United States District Court for the State of Kansas, in Wichita, Kansas or, if that court lacks jurisdiction, Kansas state courts of the 18th Judicial District. Each of the parties (i) consent to the exclusive, personal jurisdiction of these courts and, by signing this Agreement, waive any objection to venue of these Kansas courts and (ii) agree that final judgment brought in these courts will be conclusive and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any other courts with jurisdiction over the parties. The parties waive any right they may have to trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

 

10. Compliance with Laws.

 

a. Mutual Compliance. Both parties will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations including, but not limited to, all United States export, export reporting, re-export, import and customs laws and regulations, the U.S. Patriot Act, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act. Both parties will obtain authorizations, permits or licenses as required. Purchaser will be considered the U.S. exporter of record and will be responsible for 15 CFR § 30.3 - Electronic Export Information filer requirements, when applicable. Purchaser will provide Seller, as requested by Seller, with documentation such as import and re-transfer statements or certificates and information reasonably related to Seller’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. If Purchaser fails to provide Seller with requested documentation or information, Purchaser will be in breach of this Agreement and Seller will have the remedies set out herein. If Seller is unable to secure any required authorizations, permits or licenses or if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement becomes prohibited by applicable law, executive order or regulation issued by the U.S. Government or other foreign government or political body to which Seller is subject, then the provisions of Article 7.b. will apply.

 

b. End-Use/User Confirmation. Purchaser must submit a completed End User Certification covering all Aircraft, Exhibit 1, and return the completed End User Certification with the signed Purchase Agreement. This certification must identify the end-user of the Aircraft, end-use of the Aircraft, country where the Aircraft will be registered and countries where the Aircraft will be operated. If this information changes prior an Aircraft delivery Purchaser must submit an updated End User Certification. If the Agreement is assigned, the assignee must submit an End User Certification.

 

11. LIMITED AIRCRAFT WARRANTY.

 

a. Seller’s Written Limited Aircraft Warranty. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WARRANTY OF TITLE, SELLER’S WRITTEN LIMITED AIRCRAFT WARRANTY SET OUT IN PART 3 IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IN FACT OR BY LAW, APPLICABLE TO THE AIRCRAFT. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE THEREOF. SELLER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE REMEDIES OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PART(S) AS SET OUT IN THE LIMITED AIRCRAFT WARRANTY SET OUT IN PART 3 ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES UNDER THE LIMITED AIRCRAFT WARRANTY. SELLER EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REMEDIES, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF AIRCRAFT USE, LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, COMMERCIAL LOSS, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, DIMINUTION OF MARKET VALUE AND ANY AND ALL OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, MULTIPLE OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES TO THE AIRCRAFT CLAIMED BY PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY UPON THE THEORIES OF NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT.

b. Engine and Other Warranties. As set out in Part 3, engines and other components separately warranted by their manufacturer are excluded from Seller’s written Limited Aircraft Warranty and Seller’s written Limited Aircraft Warranty does not cover Purchaser-furnished equipment or modifications to the Aircraft (including parts, equipment and labor) made by third parties at Purchaser’s request (collectively “Exclusions”). Warranties, if any, for Purchaser-furnished equipment and modifications to the Aircraft made by third parties at Purchaser’s request are provided and administered by the third parties providing the equipment or modifications. Seller disclaims all liability in contract or in tort including, without limitation, negligence and strict tort liability, with respect to Exclusions.

 

c. Laws and Limitations. The laws of some states and jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations on warranties or remedies. If such laws apply, the foregoing exclusions and limitations are amended only insofar as required by law.

 

d. Modified Aircraft. If, after Aircraft delivery by Seller, Purchaser installs equipment controlled by the United States International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) or the United States Export Administration Regulations (“US EAR – 600 Series equipment”) on the Aircraft, Purchaser will immediately notify Seller, Seller’s written Limited Aircraft Warranty will be null and void and other manufacturers’ warranties may also be null and void. Seller and associated service providers (collectively “Service Providers’’) will comply with all ITAR and US EAR regulations in providing service and support for modified Aircraft, including prohibitions against dealing with embargoed countries. Without prior U.S. government authorization, which may be granted or denied in the U.S. government’s sole discretion and may take several months to obtain, Service Providers may not be able to support modified Aircraft. Purchaser will provide information requested by Service Providers to support U.S. government applications to export parts and services. If Purchaser fails to provide such information or Service Providers fail to obtain required U.S. government authorizations for reasons beyond their control (even though Service Providers have no obligation to seek such authorization), then Service Providers will not have any further obligation to support Purchaser’s modified Aircraft.

 

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT, WARRANTY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER including, but not limited to, loss of profits or goodwill, loss of use, losS of time, LOSS OF CONVENIENCE, loss of value or commercial losS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE AIRCRAFT OR THE AIRCRAFT DOCUMENTATION EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH LIMITATIONS, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT.

 

13. SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes null or unenforceable by operation of law, the other provisions will remain valid and enforceable. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision, nor will it be considered a waiver of the provision itself.

 

14. OUTSIDE COMPLETION SUPPORT. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller has no responsibility to provide any documentation or data to Purchaser or Purchaser’s designated customizing supplier to support any outside completion effort not included as part of this Agreement. If, in Seller’s sole discretion and upon its terms, such documentation or data is supplied to Purchaser’s designated customizing supplier, any delays or costs that result from such support will be the sole responsibility of Purchaser and its designated customizing supplier.
