delays or termination of this Agreement at the sole discretion of Seller.

without limitation, to losses caused by mechanical defects, parts failure or accidents.
ARTICLE 17: SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes null or unenforceable
by force of law, the other provisions shall remain valid and enforceable. Waiver of one provision by either party shall not act
as waiver of any other provision.
ARTICLE 18: OUTSIDE COMPLETION SUPPORT. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller has no
responsibility for providing any documentation or Seller data to Purchaser or Purchaser's designated customizing vendor to
support any outside completion support not included as part of this Agreement and that any delays or costs that result from

NEW HELICOPTER WARRANTY
Two Years / 1,000 Hours Non-Prorated
Seller warrants each new helicopter to be free from defect in material or workmanship under normal use and service. Seller’s
sole obligation under this warranty is limited to replacement or repair of parts which are determined to Seller’s reasonable
satisfaction to have been defective within 1000 hours of operation or two (2) years after delivery, whichever occurs first and
reimbursement of reasonable freight charges. During the first 200 hours of use Bell will reimburse the Purchaser for
reasonable labor charges associated with warranty related issues. Spare parts installed as warranty replacement on
helicopters which are covered by this New Helicopter Warranty will be warranted for the balance of the original ship
warranty or the spare part warranty, whichever is most advantageous for the customer. Defective parts must be reported in
writing to the Seller’s Warranty Administration within 90 days of being found defective. Replacement of parts may be with
either new or reconditioned parts, at Seller’s election. Warranty adjustment is contingent upon the Purchaser complying with
the Warranty Remedies as described in the Commercial Warranty Information brochure and the Seller’s Warranty

Administration disposition instructions for defective parts. Failure to comply with all of the terms of this paragraph may, at
Seller’s sole option, void this warranty.
The following information is applicable to all warranty programs:
Parts, components and assemblies of all new helicopters may have been restored or reworked due to mars, blemishes, dents
or other irregularities during the manufacturing process. Such restoration and/or rework is permitted under Seller’s approved
manufacturing and engineering processes and guidelines. The restoration and/or rework so completed does not render such
items defective in material or workmanship.
THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN AND ACCEPTED IN PLACE OF (i) ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND (ii) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY,
RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT (DELICT), INCLUDING PRODUCT LIABILITIES
BASED UPON STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, OR IMPLIED WARRANTY IN LAW.
This warranty is the only warranty made by Seller. The Purchaser’s sole remedy for a breach of this warranty or any defect
in a part is the repair or replacement of helicopter parts and reimbursement of reasonable freight charges as provided herein.
Seller excludes liability, whether as a result of a breach of contract or warranty, negligence or strict product liability, for
incidental or consequential damages, including without limitation, damage to the helicopter or other property, costs and
expenses resulting from required changes or modifications to helicopter components and assemblies, changes in retirement
lives and overhaul periods, local customs fees and taxes, and costs or expenses for commercial losses or lost profits due to
loss of use or grounding of helicopters or otherwise.
Seller makes no warranty and disclaims all liability in contract or in tort (delict), including, without limitation, negligence
and strict tort (delictual) liability, with respect to work performed by third parties at Purchaser’s request and with respect to
engines, engine accessories, batteries, radios, avionics, and Purchaser-furnished equipment or equipment manufactured by
others and installed at Purchaser’s request including but not limited to paint, upholstery, carpeting, except Seller assigns each
manufacturer’s warranty to Purchaser to the extent such manufacturer’s warranty exists and is assignable.
This warranty shall not apply to any helicopter or part thereof which has been repaired or altered outside Seller’s factory in
any way so as, in Seller’s sole judgment, to affect its stability, safety or reliability, or which has been subject to misuse,
negligence or accident. Repairs and alterations which use or incorporate parts and components other than genuine Bell parts
or parts approved by Bell for direct acquisition from sources other than Bell itself are not warranted by Bell, and this
warranty shall be void to the extent that such repairs and alterations, in Seller’s sole judgment, affect the stability, safety or
reliability of the helicopter or any part thereof, or damage genuine Bell or Bell-approved parts.
No person, corporation or organization, including Bell Customer Service Facilities, is authorized by Seller to assume for it
any other liability in connection with the sale of its helicopters and parts, nor to make any warranties beyond the foregoing
warranty nor to change any of the terms hereof. NO STATEMENT, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, MADE BY ANY
PERSON, CORPORATION OR ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING BELL CUSTOMER SERVICE FACILITIES MAY BE
TAKEN AS A WARRANTY NOR WILL IT BIND SELLER.
Seller makes no warranty and disclaims all liability with respect to components or parts damaged by, or worn due to
corrosion. Seller makes no warranty and disclaims all liability for consumables (wear items) which are defined as items
required for normal and routine maintenance or replaced at scheduled intervals shorter than the warranty period.
“Consumables” include but are not limited to engine and hydraulic oil, oil filters, packings and o-rings, anti-corrosion and/or
sealing compounds, brush plating material, nuts, bolts, washers, screws, fluids, compounds, and standard aircraft hardware
that is readily available to aircraft operators from sources other than Seller.
