6.2 Termination for Excusable Delay.

 

(a) Seller shall not be liable for any Excusable Delay in the delivery of an Aircraft.

Seller shall manufacture each Aircraft to conform to the appropriate Type Certificate for the specific type of the Aircraft and will obtain from the FAA and furnish to Buyer (or any Buyer Nominee) at delivery a standard airworthiness certificate. Seller will, as far as practicable, take into account the information available to it concerning any proposed law, rule or regulation or interpretation that could affect the certification of the Aircraft, in order to minimize the costs of changes to the Detailed Specification as a result of such proposed law, regulation or interpretation becoming effective before Delivery of the applicable Aircraft.

 

8.2 FAA Certificates. In connection with the delivery of an Aircraft by Seller to Buyer, Seller will obtain from the FAA the Type Certificate (commuter category) issued pursuant to Part 23 (or as required by any superseding regulations) for the type of aircraft covered by this Agreement. Seller will not be obligated to obtain any other certificates or approvals for the Aircraft other than as set forth in this Section 8.2. Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining any other certificates, approvals and licenses relating to such Aircraft, including if the Aircraft is being exported from the USA, customs clearance procedures and export approval (if required) for export from the USA and any airworthiness certificates or registration certificates from any Civil Aviation Authority other than the FAA.

9.1 FAA Changes; Development Changes.

 

(a) Seller shall, in consultation with, and subject to the consent of Buyer, incorporate FAA Changes or Development Changes into the Detailed Specification and into an Aircraft prior to its delivery to Buyer; provided, however, that to the extent the Detailed Specification or any performance guarantees of the Aircraft have already been agreed with Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any mutually agreed upon amendment hereto, Buyer’s consent shall be required to incorporate any FAA Change, Development Change or other change into an Aircraft to the extent such FAA Change, Development Change or other change, as the case may be, may (i) require any change to any Detailed Specification or performance guarantees or (ii) delay the Scheduled Delivery Period or (if one has been specified) the Scheduled Delivery Month for any Aircraft or (iii) adversely impact the intended operation of any Aircraft by Buyer, including resulting in any increase in any costs associated with operating any Aircraft.

 

11

 

 

(b) Seller shall provide Buyer with written notice of any proposed FAA Change, Development Change, or other change within at least sixty (60) days of becoming aware of a need for such FAA Change, Development Change or other change, as the case may be.

SECTION 10 DELIVERY OF AIRCRAFT.

 

10.1 Designation of Scheduled Delivery Month.

Subject to the mutual agreement of the Parties to all terms to be set forth on Schedule 1, the acceptance and delivery framework shall be as set forth below and as otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties and attached to this Agreement as Schedule 12 (to the extent not otherwise set forth on Schedule 1).

 

XTI shall present each Aircraft to the Buyer for Inspection, acceptance and subsequent delivery. Final payment and closing of the purchase of each Aircraft shall occur following XTI’s written notice to Buyer (the “Notice”) that an Aircraft scheduled for delivery is in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8 above and is ready for Inspection, and that XTI is prepared to deliver the Aircraft to Buyer following Inspection. Upon receipt of the Notice from XTI, the Buyer will confirm with XTI the date of commencement of the applicable Inspection and anticipated date of delivery. Delivery of each Aircraft shall take place at the Inspection site unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. XTI shall deliver the Notice to the Buyer no less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed delivery date. XTI shall execute and provide to the Buyer an FAA Bill of Sale and Warranty Bill of Sale, with the FAA Bill of Sale to be recorded upon on the closing of the delivery and receipt by XTI of payment of the Total Purchase Price for the applicable Aircraft. In the event Buyer fails to take delivery of and purchase the Aircraft within two (2) business days after Acceptance, XTI shall be entitled to retain the Advance Payment applicable to the affected Aircraft. Title and risk of loss or damage to each Aircraft shall pass to the Buyer at the time of delivery.

 

Buyer’s obligation to accept delivery of each Aircraft is subject to the Buyer’s determination, in its sole discretion, that the Aircraft is in satisfactory compliance with all conditions and specifications, as set forth in in this Section 12, based on a technical inspection (including test flight(s)) and records review (“Inspection”) of each Aircraft. Each Inspection will be completed by the Buyer, at the Buyer’s expense, at XTI’s delivery location (or at such other location as may be mutually agreed between the parties) immediately prior to the time of delivery.

 

13

 

 

Buyer shall accept (“Acceptance”) or reject each Aircraft in writing within two (2) business days following completion of the Inspection of each such Aircraft. In the event of a rejection of an Aircraft, the Buyer will provide Seller with a written list of any defects and discrepancies (collectively, “Discrepancies”) identified by the Buyer.

 

Discrepancies identified by the Buyer as a result of the Inspection, of which Seller has been notified in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, shall be corrected by Seller at Seller’s sole expense, unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Discrepancies” means a lack of conformity to the Technical Description and/or the Aircraft Configuration, including paint and interior items.

13.2 Buyer Indemnification.

 

Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (or Buyer Nominee) and Buyer’s (or Buyer Nominee’s) observers from and against all claims and liabilities, including all expenses and attorneys’ fees incident thereto or incident to establishing the right to indemnification, for injury to or death of any person(s), including employees of Seller but not employees of Buyer (or Buyer Nominee), or for loss of or damage to any property, including an Aircraft, arising out of or in any way related to the operation of such Aircraft during all demonstration and test flights conducted under the provisions of this Agreement, other than resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer (or Buyer Nominee) or any of Buyer’s (or Buyer Nominee’s) participants.

 

SECTION 14 WARRANTIES; PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES.

 

The terms and conditions of the warranties (the “Warranties”) and the Customer Support Services relating to post-Delivery support to be provided by Seller to Buyer or Buyer Nominee, as the case may be, shall be as set forth herein and as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The performance guarantees of Seller with respect to each Aircraft are also subject to the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller.

 

Seller will deliver to the Buyer all maintenance manuals relating to the Aircraft.

Seller shall inform Buyer, if not prohibited by applicable laws, of any situation of which it becomes aware that is reasonably likely to result in a breach of this clause.

Buyer shall also be entitled to visit Seller’s facilities to examine Seller’s Books and Records, provided always that Buyer provides Seller with reasonable prior written notice and Buyer’s visits to Seller’s facility are conducted during Seller’s normal business hours, do not interfere with Seller’s business operations and comply with all of Seller’s rules and regulations generally applicable to all visitors and applied consistently with past practice; provided, further, unless otherwise consented to by Seller, such visits shall be limited to not more than four (4) visits per each calendar year.

 

15.4 Most Favored Nations Clause. Seller hereby agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Base Purchase Price, Total Purchase Price and other fees payable hereunder, shall be no less favorable than those which are offered by Seller to any other customer of Seller during the term of this Agreement (whether such agreement is entered into before or during the term of this Agreement and regardless of whether such agreement expires or is terminated during the term of this Agreement). If more favorable terms are offered now or in the future, then Seller and Buyer and Buyer Parent agree that this Agreement shall be deemed amended to include such more favorable terms, with such amendment effective as of the date Seller entered into the other agreement. Seller agrees to promptly notify Buyer and Buyer Parent in the event it offers more favorable terms in connection with any such agreement, and Seller and Buyer and Buyer Parent agree to execute an amendment memorializing such additional terms.

17.3 Warranty Assignment. If Buyer or Buyer Nominee sells an Aircraft or enters into financing arrangements with Financing Parties in accordance with Section 2, Buyer or Buyer Nominee, as the case may be, may assign some or all of its warranty rights with respect to such Aircraft to the purchaser, operator or Financing Parties of such Aircraft. The form of such warranty assignment shall be reasonably acceptable to Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Buyer nor Buyer Nominee may assign any post-Delivery Customer Support Services without the prior written consent of Seller.

 

17.4 No Increase in Liability. No action taken by Buyer or Seller relating to the resale or lease of any Aircraft or the assignment of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement shall subject Seller to any liability beyond that which is set forth in this Agreement or modify or expand in any way Seller’s obligations under this Agreement.

24.1 Government Approval. Subject to the availability of their respective employees, the parties hereto shall assist each other in obtaining any governmental consents or approvals required to effect the sale and delivery of the Aircraft under this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 24.1 shall create an obligation for either party to expend funds or incur liabilities.

 

24.2 Subcontractors. Subject to Section 11.1, Seller may use one or more subcontractors in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement in connection with the Aircraft; provided that Seller complies with its obligations under Section 21.2 with respect to all Confidential Information disclosed to such subcontractor.

24.3 Waiver/Severability.

 

(a) No failure of either party hereto at any time in requiring the performance by the other party hereto of any provision hereof shall prejudice the right to require full performance of the same provision at any time thereafter. No waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any provision hereof shall constitute a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision or constitute a waiver of the provision itself.

 

(b) If any provision of this Agreement is held unlawful or otherwise ineffective by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitration panel, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision has never comprised a part thereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

24.5 No License Granted. The parties hereto agree that any intellectual property provided by one party to the other party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated under this Agreement shall, as between the parties hereto, remain the sole and exclusive property of the party providing such intellectual property and may be used only for the purpose of implementing transactions under this Agreement (i.e., for Seller’s obligation to fulfill Buyer’s purchase of Aircraft hereunder) and that no other use rights or licenses are granted, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither party shall use the other party’s Marks unless the other party has expressly granted it a license under the applicable Marks in a separate written agreement setting out the agreed scope, duration, and other terms applicable to such use.

 

24.6 Intellectual Property Liabilities.

 

(a) Infringement Indemnity.

22

 

 

(b) Limitations. Seller’s indemnification provided in this Section 24.6 shall not apply to BFE, or to any Items not installed, used or maintained in accordance with all written instructions and procedures of Seller, to the extent the Claim arises from such nonconforming installation, use or maintenance.

 

(c) Procedures. Buyer shall give prompt written notice to Seller of the receipt of a notice of a suit or action against Buyer alleging a Claim covered by this Section 24.6 or of a written notice alleging a Claim covered by this Section 24.6, whichever occurs earlier. Failure to notify Seller as provided herein shall relieve Seller of liability that it may have to Buyer only to the extent that the defense of any such Claim is prejudiced thereby. At all times, Seller shall have the right, at its option and expense, to negotiate with any party alleging a Claim, assume or control the defense to any allegation of a Claim, including without limitation, the right to bring a declaratory judgment or similar action, intervene in any action involving a Claim, and/or attempt to resolve a Claim by replacing or modifying an Item; provided that such replacements or modifications shall not adversely affect any of the Aircraft characteristics. Buyer shall promptly furnish to Seller all information, documents, records, and assistance within Buyer’s possession, custody or control as requested by Seller that Seller considers potentially relevant or material to any allegation covered by this Section 24.6. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller and shall, upon Seller’s reasonable request and at Seller’s expense, arrange for the attendance of representatives of Buyer at depositions, hearings, trials, and the like, and assist in effecting settlements, securing and giving evidence, obtaining the attendance of witnesses and in the conduct of any suits or actions covered by this Section 24.6. Buyer shall obtain Seller’s written approval prior to paying, agreeing to pay, assuming any obligation or making any material concession relative to any Claim. Seller shall assume and pay any and all judgments and all costs assessed against Buyer in a final non-appealable judgment of any suit or action (including but not limited to the cost of any bond posted in connection with any appeal), and Seller will make all payments in settlement imposed upon or incurred by Buyer with Seller’s prior approval, and Seller shall also reimburse Buyer for all reasonable expenses (excluding, expressly, internal legal fees and internal technical and engineering fees) incurred by Buyer as a result of such suit or action. If in a final non-appealable judgment, Seller is considered not liable for the alleged infringement due to the situations described in Section 24.6(b) above, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any and all costs and expenses incurred by Seller as a result of such suit or action (excluding, expressly, internal legal fees and internal technical and engineering fees).

 

24.7 No Third Party Beneficiary Rights. It is the intention of the parties that no term of this Agreement may be enforced by any person who is not a party to this Agreement notwithstanding that any term of this Agreement may purport to confer, or may be construed as conferring, any benefit on such third party and irrespective of whether such third party is identified in this Agreement.

 

24.8 Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices. All Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices attached hereto constitute integral parts of this Agreement and shall be binding on both parties hereto.

 

24.9 Entire Agreement; Integration. This Agreement and the Warrant, together, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all communications, negotiations and agreements (whether written or oral) of the parties with respect thereto made prior to the date of the Agreement. It is the intent of Buyer, Buyer Parent and Seller that this Agreement and the Warrant constitute a single, integrated transaction. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agreement constitutes an “executory contract” as that term is used in 11 U.S.C. § 365, then for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Agreement under 11 U.S.C. Section 365 or any amendment or successor section thereof, the Agreement and the Warrant are, and were intended to be, considered a single, integrated agreement and transaction and shall not be severable or divisible.

 

23

 

 

24.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be an original, but which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The delivery of an executed signature page by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to have the same effect as the delivery of an executed original counterpart thereof.

 

24.11 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement shall not be modified, amended, supplemented or nullified by any means except by a written instrument executed by both Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion, and Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion.

 

24.12 Counsel and Expenses. Each of the parties shall be responsible for the payment of its own expenses, including the fees of its counsel and other advisors, in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and all agreements arising out of or related thereto.

 

24.13 Set-off Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any party hereto shall be in default under this Agreement to any other party, then the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to set off from any payment owed by such non-defaulting party to the defaulting party hereunder any amount owed by the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party under this Agreement; provided that contemporaneously with any such set-off, the non-defaulting party shall give written notice of such action to the defaulting party; provided further that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the set-off. Upon completion of any such set-off, the obligation of the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party shall be extinguished to the extent of the amount so set-off. Each party hereto further waives any right to assert as a defense to any attempted set-off the requirements of liquidation or mutuality.

 

24.14 Guarantee. Buyer Parent irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees all of Buyer’s obligations set forth in this Agreement, and shall cause Buyer to comply with all obligations of Buyer set forth in this Agreement. This guarantee shall apply in respect of all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement despite: (i) any incapacity, disability, or lack or limitation of status, authorization or power of Buyer or any of its or its affiliate’s directors, officers or agents, (ii) Buyer or any of its affiliates not being a legal entity, and (iii) the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of Buyer or any of its affiliates. Any such obligation which may not be recoverable from Buyer Parent as guarantor shall be recoverable from Buyer Parent as principal obligor under this Agreement. Buyer Parent waives notice of acceptance of such guarantee and waives diligence, presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or dishonor and all notices and demands whatsoever. Further, Buyer Parent waives any defenses it may have by reason of (I) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the obligations under this Agreement or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure of Seller to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to such obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, (II) the enforceability or validity of such obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto, (III) the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation, receivership, reorganization for the benefit of creditors, or other similar proceeding affecting the status, composition, identity, existence, assets or obligations of Buyer or any of its affiliates, (IV) the lack of due authorization or power and authority of, or execution or delivery by, Buyer or any other Person of any agreement(s) creating or giving rise to such obligations or (V) any change in the time, place or manner of payment or performance of, or in any other term of such obligations, or any assignment of this Agreement or any Sale Document.
