2.1.3.3 The Buyer’s consent to an MSCN is not required if such MSCN (1) does not adversely affect design, maintainability or performance, weight, price, Delivery Date of the Aircraft affected thereby, interchangeability or replaceability requirements of the Standard Specification or (2) is necessitated by an Aviation Authority directive or by equipment obsolescence.

 

2.2 Propulsion Systems

 

2.2.1 Available Propulsion Systems

The Buyer will furnish to the Seller all data and information in the Buyer’s possession relevant to the Interface Problem and will cooperate with the Seller in the conduct of the Seller’s investigations and such tests as may be required.

The Seller will promptly advise the Buyer of any corrective action proposed by the Seller and any such Supplier. Such proposal will be consistent with any then existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of any such Supplier to the Buyer. Such corrective action, unless reasonably rejected by the Buyer, will constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Buyer may have against either the Seller or any such Supplier with respect to such Interface Problem.

  (1) the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation of December 7, 1944, and are each fully entitled to all benefits of Article 27 thereof, or,

 

  (2) the International Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property of March 20, 1883 (the “Paris Convention”); and

2 If, due to an IP Claim, the Buyer is enjoined from using Software or a component thereof by a valid and enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by a settlement between the claimant, the Seller and the Buyer, then the Seller shall at its own cost and sole choice:

procure for the Buyer the right to continue to use the Software;
