AIRCRAFT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) is dated as of February 26, 2021 and entered into by and between XTI Aircraft Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, having its principal place of business at 7625 S. Peoria St., Suite 216A, Englewood, CO 80112, United States of America (“XTI”) and [***], a [***], having its corporate office at [***] United States of America (“Buyer”). XTI and Buyer may each be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

 

1.  SUBJECT MATTER OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT: The “Aircraft” sold pursuant to this Purchase Agreement are XTI TriFan 600 aircraft, as more specifically described in the XTI TriFan 600 Technical Description, Release dated March, 2021 attached as Exhibit A, as may be revised from time to time (the “Technical Description”), outfitted pursuant to the XTI TriFan 600 Aircraft Configuration, Release dated March, 2021 attached as Exhibit B, as may be revised from time to time (the “Aircraft Configuration”). The Buyer may request changes in the Aircraft Configuration relating to any Aircraft, provided that the Buyer provides XTI with notice in writing of any such requested change at least twelve (12) months prior to the Delivery Quarter (as defined in Section 3 below) of the affected Aircraft.

 

2.  SUBJECT: On the terms and conditions set forth in this Purchase Agreement, XTI shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and take delivery from Seller, of forty (40) Aircraft.

 

3.  PURCHASE PRICE: The “Base Purchase Price” for each Aircraft will be determined by XTI, as set forth in this Section 3, during the first month of the calendar quarter (the “Pricing Calculation Quarter”) that is one (1) calendar quarter prior to the quarter in which the Aircraft is scheduled for delivery to Buyer (the “Delivery Quarter”), and will be calculated as the average of the Base Prices (as defined below) for all XTI TriFan 600 aircraft transactions with executed purchase agreement(s) due to deliver in the applicable Delivery Quarter.

 

The “Total Purchase Price” is the sum of the Base Purchase Price, plus any installed options selected by the Buyer, as provided in the Aircraft Configuration, less twelve percent (12%).

 

No later than the tenth (10th) calendar day of the Pricing Calculation Quarter, XTI will provide Buyer a Pricing Confirmation Letter, which will identify each Aircraft scheduled for delivery in the next Delivery Quarter and its calculated Base Purchase Price (a “Pricing Confirmation Letter”). Each Pricing Confirmation Letter shall be signed by the Chief Financial Officer of XTI and shall contain a certification that the Base Purchase Price for each Aircraft was calculated in conformity with the provisions of this Section 3. Each Pricing Confirmation Letter will include supporting documentation used by XTI in connection with the calculation, including a listing of all applicable executed purchase agreements included in the calculation of the Base Purchase Price. Buyer shall return to XTI a countersigned copy of each Pricing Confirmation Letter to evidence the Buyer’s acknowledgement of and agreement with the Base Purchase Price set forth therein. The Parties agree that each mutually executed Pricing Confirmation Letter shall constitute an amendment to this Purchase Agreement confirming the Base Purchase Price for the applicable Aircraft. Invoices will promptly be generated by XTI and delivered to the Buyer to reflect the Total Purchase Price (as defined above) and the net amount due upon delivery of each Aircraft (after applying the Deposit applicable to each Aircraft, as described in Section 4 below).

 

 

 

 

In the event that there are no XTI TriFan 600 aircraft scheduled for delivery in the applicable Delivery Quarter, other than the Aircraft to be delivered to the Buyer, then the executed agreements for XTI TriFan 600 aircraft delivered or to be delivered in the quarter immediately prior to Delivery Quarter will be used for purposes of calculating the Base Purchase Price.

 

“Base Price” means the Total Purchase Price (as defined in the relevant purchase agreement for each customer other than the Buyer), adjusted to exclude all optional equipment.

 

4.  DEPOSIT: The Buyer shall place a deposit in the amount of $20,000 for each of forty (40) Aircraft, for a total of $800,000 (the “Deposit”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by XTI, immediately upon XTI providing such account information to the Buyer. The Deposit shall be refundable only as expressly set forth in Section 17(c) of this Purchase Agreement. For each Aircraft, $20,000 of the Deposit shall be credited against the Total Purchase Price.

 

5.  INSPECTION: The 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 Section 8 below, 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.

 

6.  AIRCRAFT ACCEPTANCE: The 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 XTI with a written list of any defects and discrepancies (collectively, “Discrepancies”) identified by the Buyer.

 

7.  CORRECTION OF DISCREPANCIES: Discrepancies identified by the Buyer as a result of the Inspection, of which XTI has been notified in accordance with the provisions of Section 6, shall be corrected by XTI at XTI’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.

 

8.  CONDITIONS: Each Aircraft subject to this Purchase Agreement shall be delivered in accordance with the following conditions, at XTI’s expense:

 

(a) In conformity with the Technical Description and Aircraft Configuration (as may have been modified upon the Buyer’s request as set forth in Section 1 above);

 

(b) With all required certifications and in accordance with all regulatory requirements;

 

(c) In Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) Airworthy condition consistent the Aircraft’s type certificate, with all systems operational within the parameters outlined in the Technical Description and applicable FAA requirements;

 

(d) With a valid FAA Certificate of Airworthiness (without any limitations or conditions stated thereon);

 

(e) With all maintenance required to be performed prior to delivery having been performed current on the Aircraft, and any item requiring calibration, certification, weighing or testing in accordance with the Aircraft’s maintenance manual having been completed;

 

(f) Containing new parts and components, excluding usage for Inspection, acceptance and testing;

 

(g) Free and clear of all liens or other encumbrances on the Aircraft or any of its components; and

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.

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 Deposit 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.

13.  IN-HOUSE WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE: XTI will authorize the Buyer and its affiliate, Constant Aviation, LLC, to perform warranty work on the Buyer’s fleet of Aircraft. XTI will reimburse the Buyer for the labor component of such warranty work in accordance with XTI’s standard authorized service center terms and conditions or, if XTI has no such standard terms and conditions, then based on mutually agreed hourly rates that are consistent with rates provided by other manufacturers to the Buyer.
