4. REVISION FORMULA
Pn = Pb [(0.60 HEn)/HEb + (0.30 MMPn)/MMPb + (0.l0 EPn)/EPb]
Where
Pn= Revised V2533-A5 Reference Price of a set of two (2)
Propulsion Systems at delivery of the A321 Additional
Aircraft.
Pb= V2533-A5 Reference Price at March 1988 economic conditions.
HEn= HE SIC 3724 for the fourth month prior to the month
of delivery of the A321 Additional Aircraft.
HEb= HE SIC 3724 for March 1988 (= 13.58)
MMPn= MMP-Index for the fourth month prior to the month
of delivery of the A321 Additional Aircraft.
MMPb = MMP-Index for March 1988 (= 115.4)
EPn= EP-Index for the fourth month prior to the month of
delivery of the A321 Additional Aircraft.
EPb= EP-Index for March 1988 (= 65.9)
In determining the revised V2533-A5 Reference Price each quotient
((0.60 HEn)/HEb, (0.30 MMPn)/MMPb, (0.l0 EPn)/EPb) will be calculated
to the nearest ten thousandth (4 decimals). If the next succeeding
place is five (5) or more the preceding decimal place will be raised to
the next higher figure.
After final computation, Pn will be rounded to the next whole number
(0.5 or more rounded to l).
5. GENERAL PROVISIONS
5.1 The revised V2533-A5 Reference Price at delivery of the A321 Additional
Aircraft will be the final price and will not be subject to further
adjustments in the indexes.
5.2 If no final index value is available for any of the applicable months,
the published preliminary figures will be the basis on which the
revised V2533-A5 Reference Price will be computed.
ExhE - 2
61
EXHIBIT E
5.3 If the US Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology of
calculation of the indexes referred to in this Exhibit E or
discontinues any of these indexes, the Seller will, in agreement with
International Aero Engines, apply a substitute for the revised or
discontinued index, such substitute index to lead in application to the
same adjustment result, insofar as possible, as would have been
achieved by continuing the use of the original index as it may have
fluctuated had it not been revised or discontinued. Appropriate
revision of the formula will be made to accomplish this result.
5.4 Should the above escalation provisions become null and void by action
of the US Government, the V2533-A5 Reference Price will be adjusted to
reflect increases in the cost of labor, material and fuel which have
occurred from the period represented by the applicable V2533-A5
Reference Price indexes to the fourth month prior to the scheduled
delivery of the A321 Additional Aircraft.
5.5 The revised V2533-A5 Reference Price at delivery of the A321 Additional
Aircraft in no event will be less than the V2533-A5 Reference Price
defined in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E.

"Buyer"), the Buyer and the Seller have agreed to set forth in this Letter
Agreement No. 2 (the "Letter Agreement") certain additional terms and conditions
regarding the sale of the Additional Aircraft and the sale of Growth Aircraft
and Purchase Option Aircraft as defined under the Agreement. Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined in this Letter Agreement will have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. The
terms "herein," "hereof" and "hereunder" and words of similar import refer to
this Letter Agreement.
Both parties agree that this Letter Agreement will constitute an
integral, nonseverable part of the Amendment, except that if the Agreement or
the Amendment and this Letter Agreement have specific provisions that are
inconsistent, the specific provisions contained in this Letter Agreement will
govern.
1. TERMINATION OF LETTER AGREEMENT N0. 2 TO THE AGREEMENT
Any rights the parties may have had with respect to Growth Aircraft and
to the Purchase Option Aircraft under the Agreement are hereby
terminated and neither the Buyer nor the Seller will have any further
rights or obligations from the date hereof with respect to either the
Growth Aircraft or the Purchase Option Aircraft under the Agreement.
Letter Agreement No. 2 to the Agreement dated September 12, 1997 is
hereby terminated in its entirety and is of no further force and
effect.

It is agreed and understood by the Buyer and the Seller that the
[...***...] Growth Aircraft confirmed as firm A320 Aircraft [...***...]
