6.1
By the time of the first Firm
Aircraft Contractual Delivery Date, the EMBRAER 190 model aircraft shall be
type certified by the Brazilian Airworthiness Authority (CTA), and type
validated by the Air Authority (USA FAA), each in accordance with FAA airworthiness
requirement FAR Part 25 amendment 25-1 through 25-98 effective on March 10,
1999, provided that any items that are under Buyer / operator’s regulatory
responsibility pursuant to the FAR’s (i.e., operational requirements) shall be
Buyer’s responsibility.
6.2
The Aircraft shall be delivered
to Buyer in conformity with the operational requirements contained in FAR 121
subparts J and K and with the requirements set forth herein. Embraer will
provide Buyer with an export certificate of airworthiness issued by the CTA,
which will certify that, as of the date of its issuance, the Aircraft has been
inspected and found to conform in all respects to the CTA / FAA approved type
design and in a condition qualifying the Aircraft for a valid and fully
effective certification of airworthiness from the FAA. The condition of the
Aircraft on delivery date and the related documentation, including the above
mentioned export certificate of airworthiness, shall be sufficient to enable
Buyer to obtain a certificate of airworthiness for the Aircraft with the FAA.
Subject to the above, it shall be Buyer’s responsibility to (i) obtain such FAA
certificate of airworthiness, and (ii) register the Aircraft with the FAA, at
Buyer’s sole expense
***
.
7.1
Unless Buyer is notified
otherwise, the Aircraft shall be delivered in accordance with the provisions
and schedules specified in Article 5. Embraer shall give Buyer *** Days advance
facsimile notice of the *** of anticipated Aircraft delivery and *** Days
advance facsimile notice of the date on which Embraer considers that each
Aircraft will be ready for delivery. Upon successful completion of ground and
flight tests performed by Embraer, Buyer will receive a written confirmation of
the Scheduled Inspection Date, on which date Buyer shall promptly start
inspecting such Aircraft.
7.2
Buyer shall be allowed a
reasonable period of time but in no event greater than *** Days to inspect and
conduct an acceptance flight of each Aircraft prior to its delivery. Embraer
will provide the fuel and insurance for the Aircraft’s acceptance flight in
accordance with Embraer’s insurance policy.
***.
7.3
If Buyer finds an Aircraft
acceptable, Buyer shall promptly make the payments due according to Article 4
and accept delivery of such Aircraft, whereupon the

necessary title and risk transfer documents
shall be executed in order to effect title transfer. Buyer´s acceptance of an
Aircraft shall be deemed a waiver of any rights to revoke acceptance of the
Aircraft for any reason, including for defects unknown to Buyer at the time of
acceptance.
7.4
Buyer may decline to accept an
Aircraft which Buyer reasonably believes does not comply with the specification
set forth in this Agreement or is not in an airworthy condition. For the
purposes of this Article 7, an Aircraft shall be deemed not to be materially
compliant when one or more of the Aircraft characteristics identified in
Article 11.2.1 *** are adversely affected by such non-compliance vis-à-vis the
specification set forth in Attachment A.
7.5
If Buyer declines to accept an
Aircraft, Buyer shall immediately give Embraer written notice of all specific
reasons for such refusal and Embraer shall have *** Days, commencing on the
first Day after receipt of such notice, to take all necessary actions in order
to resubmit the Aircraft to Buyer for re-inspection.
7.6
Buyer shall be allowed *** Days
to re-inspect the Aircraft, starting immediately upon receipt of notice from
Embraer that all necessary actions were taken. The period required for
inspection as well as the one mentioned in Article 7.5 shall not be considered
as part of the *** Day grace period provided for in Article 9.2.1. In the event
Buyer declines to accept an Aircraft after this re-inspection procedure is
repeated, the Parties shall convene immediately following final refusal to
accept the Aircraft in order to negotiate possible solutions. If within ***
Days counted from the date in which Embraer receives notice of such final
refusal to accept the Aircraft, Embraer and Buyer fail to reach an agreement,
then either Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected
Aircraft without liability to either Party, ***.
7.7
Should Buyer fail to perform the
acceptance and transfer of title to the Aircraft within the periods provided
for and in accordance with this Article 7 (and subject to Buyer’s right to
terminate pursuant to Articles 7.4 and 7.6), Embraer shall be entitled, at its
reasonable discretion, to either re-negotiate the terms of this Agreement with
Buyer or terminate this Agreement with regard to the affected Aircraft pursuant
to Article 20.3. ***.
7.8

of Article 7.7 and in addition to Embraer’s rights pursuant to Article 20.3

applicable, interest will accrue at the rate of *** percent (***%) per month

after the date on which the Aircraft acceptance or transfer of title should
have been performed, and payment thereof shall be made by Buyer in accordance
with the instructions contained therein.
7.9
Embraer agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Buyer and Buyer’s officers, directors, agents, employees and
assignees from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, claims
and suits, including costs and expenses incident thereto, which may be suffered
by, accrued against, be charged to or recoverable from Buyer and/or Buyer’s
officers, directors, agents, employees and assignees by reason of loss or
damage to property, or injury or death of any person, resulting from or in any
