Boeing will provide a written explanation.
7. Corrections Performed by Customer or Its Authorized Agent.
7.1 Facilities Requirements. Provided Customer, its Authorized Agent or
its third party contractor, as appropriate, are certified by the appropriate
Civil Aviation Authority or Federal Aviation Authority, Customer or its
Authorized Agent may, at its option, Correct defective Boeing Products at its
facilities or may subcontract Corrections to a third party contractor.
7.2 Technical Requirements. All Corrections done by Customer, its
Authorized Agent or a third party contractor must be performed in accordance
with Boeing's applicable service manuals, bulletins or other written
instructions, using parts and materials furnished or approved by Boeing.

Hourly Labor Rate and thereafter notify Boeing of any material change in
such rate. Boeing will require information from Customer to substantiate
such rates.
BOEING PROPRIETARY
AGTA-ASA C
2-6
7.3.3 Reimbursement for Direct Labor hours to perform Corrections
stated in a service bulletin will be based on the labor estimates in the
service bulletin.
7.3.4 Boeing will provide to Customer a single, lump sum credit
memorandum for Customer's Direct Labor hours expended to incorporate the

service bulletins or service letters after Customer's submission of a
warranty claim and verification of the incorporation of such Corrections
with respect to the first affected in-warranty aircraft. Such credit
memoranda will not be provided in response to any other requests for
reimbursement including, without limitation, those arising out of program
letters or other special offers provided by Boeing.
7.3.5 Boeing will reimburse Customer's freight charges associated
with a Correction of a defect on a Boeing Product performed by its
Authorized Agent or a third party contractor.
7.3.6 Maximum Reimbursement. Unless previously agreed in writing,
the maximum reimbursement for Direct Labor and Direct materials for repair
of a defective Boeing Product will not exceed 65% of Boeing's then-current
sales price for a new replacement Boeing Product. Inspection, removal,
reinstallation labor, final testing, inspection and transportation costs
are separate and are not to be included in the cost elements used to
determine the 65% limit. By mutual agreement between Customer and Boeing,
Boeing may provide a replacement Product to Customer in lieu of credit
reimbursement.
7.4 Disposition of Defective Boeing Products Beyond Economical Repair.
7.4.1 A defective Boeing Product found to be beyond economical
repair (see Para. 7.3.6) will be retained for a period of 30 days from the
date Boeing receives Customer's claim. During the 30 day period, Boeing
may request return of such Boeing Products for inspection and confirmation
of a defect.
7.4.2 After the 30 day period, a defective Boeing Product with a
value of U.S. $4,000 or less may be scrapped without notification to
Boeing. Boeing will reimburse Customer or its Authorized Agent for the
charge for any item determined to be defective under this Aircraft General
Terms Agreement. If such Boeing Product has a value greater than U.S,
$4,000, Customer must obtain confirmation of unrepairability by Boeing's
on-site Customer Services Representative prior to scrapping. Confirmation
may be in the form of the Representative's signature on Customer's claim
or through direct communication between the Representative and Boeing
Warranty.
8. Corrections Performed by Boeing.
BOEING PROPRIETARY
AGTA-ASA C
2-7
8.1 Freight Charges. Customer or its Authorized Agent will pre-pay freight
charges to return a Boeing Product to Boeing. If during the period of the
applicable warranty Boeing determines the Boeing Product to be defective, Boeing
will pre-pay shipping charges to return the Corrected Boeing Product. Boeing
will reimburse Customer or its Authorized Agent for freight charges for Boeing
Products returned to Boeing for Correction and determined to be defective.
8.2 Customer Instructions. The documentation shipped with the returned
defective Boeing Product may include specific technical instructions for
additional work to be performed on the Boeing Product. The absence of such
instructions will evidence Customer's authorization for Boeing to perform all
necessary Corrections and work required to return the Boeing Product to a
serviceable condition.
8.3 Correction Time Objectives.
8.3.1 Boeing's objective for making Corrections is 10 working days
for avionics and electronic Boeing Products, 30 working days for
Corrections of other Boeing Products performed at Boeing's facilities and
40 working days for Corrections of other Boeing Products performed at a
Boeing subcontractor's facilities. The objectives are measured from the
date Boeing receives the defective Boeing Product and a valid claim to the
date Boeing ships the Corrected Boeing Product.
8.3.2 If Customer has a critical parts shortage because Boeing has
exceeded a Correction time objective and Customer has procured spare
Boeing Products for the defective Boeing Product in quantities shown in
Boeing's Recommended Spare Parts List or, for 717 model aircraft only, in
quantities shown in Boeing's Spares Planning and Requirements Evaluation
Model, then Boeing will either expedite the Correction or provide an
interchangeable Boeing Product, on a no charge loan basis, until the
Corrected Boeing Product is returned.
8.4 Title Transfer and Risk of Loss.
8.4.1 Title to and risk of loss of any Boeing Product returned to
Boeing will at all times remain with Customer or any other title holder of
such Boeing Product. While Boeing has possession of the returned Boeing
Product, Boeing will have only such liabilities as a bailee for mutual
benefit would have but will not be liable for loss of use.
8.4.2 If a Correction requires shipment of a new Boeing Product,
then at the time Boeing ships the new Boeing Product, title to and risk of
loss for the returned Boeing Product will pass to Boeing, and title to and
risk of loss for the new Boeing Product will pass to Customer.
9. Returning an Aircraft.
BOEING PROPRIETARY
AGTA-ASA C

9.1 Conditions. An aircraft may be returned to Boeing's facilities for
Correction only if:
(i) Boeing and Customer agree a covered defect exists;
(ii) Customer lacks access to adequate facilities, equipment or
qualified personnel to perform the Correction; and
(iii) it is not practical, in Boeing's estimation, to dispatch
Boeing personnel to perform the Correction at a remote site.
9.2 Correction Costs. Boeing will perform the Correction at no charge to
Customer. Subject to the conditions of Article 9.1, Boeing will reimburse
Customer for the costs of fuel, oil, other required fluids and landing fees
incurred in ferrying the aircraft to Boeing and back to Customer's facilities.
Customer will minimize the length of both flights.
9.3 Separate Agreement. Prior to the return of an aircraft to Boeing,
Boeing and Customer will enter into a separate agreement covering return of the
aircraft and performance of the Correction. Authorization by Customer for Boeing
to perform additional work that is not part of the Correction must be received
within 24 hours of Boeing's request. If such authorization is not received
within 24 hours, Customer will be invoiced for work performed by Boeing that is
not part of the Correction.
10. Insurance.
The provisions of Article 8.2 "Insurance", of this AGTA, will apply to any
work performed by Boeing in accordance with Customer's specific technical
instructions to the extent any legal liability of Boeing is based upon the
content of such instructions.
