* Blank spaces contained confidential information that has been excluded pursuant to Item 601(b)(10)(iv) of Regulation S-K because it is both (i) not material and (ii) the type that FedEx treats as private or confidential.

3. | Escalation Adjustment.

The Escalation Adjustment as defined in AGTA Article 2.1.5, as amended, will be based on the scheduled delivery month as set forth in Table 1.

4. | Right of Termination.

Customer will not have the right to refuse to accept delivery of any Aircraft because of a Non-Excusable Delay unless (i) the actual aggregate duration of the Non-Excusable Delay for such Aircraft exceeds [*] (Non-Excusable Delay Period) or (ii) if Boeing provides notice that it expects the aggregate duration of the Non-Excusable Delay for such Aircraft to exceed [*], in which case Customer may terminate the Purchase Agreement as to such Aircraft by written or telegraphic notice given to the other. For clarification, nothing in this paragraph 4 will affect the parties rights and obligations contained in section 7.5, Aircraft Damaged Beyond Repair, in the AGTA.

5. | Termination.

6. | Exclusive Remedies.

The Liquidated Damages and Interest payable in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Letter Agreement, and Customer’s right to terminate pursuant to this Letter Agreement are Customer’s exclusive remedies for a Non-Excusable Delay and are in lieu of all other damages, claims, and remedies of Customer arising at law or otherwise for any Non-Excusable Delay in the Aircraft delivery.
