FLIGHTSAFETY TEXTRON AVIATION TRAINING LLC TRAINING SERVICES

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE (REV. 07/01/2024)

1. Nature of these Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms”) are incorporated by reference into each training services agreement (the “Services Agreement”, together with these Terms, the “Agreement”) between the customer named in the Services Agreement (“Customer”) and FlightSafety Textron Aviation Training LLC and/or any of its subsidiaries or related entities (“FSTAT”). Individuals trained pursuant to the Agreement are referred to as “Clients.”

2. Relationship with Services Agreement

FSTAT will provide the services described in the Services Agreement (the “Services”) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If the Services Agreement has expired and is otherwise not in effect, and FSTAT nevertheless provides services to Customer, Customer agrees that FSTAT will provide those services pursuant to these Terms. All other terms and conditions, including those set forth in any Customer purchase order, statement of work, or request for proposal, are expressly excluded from these Terms, and Customer agrees that the Agreement is the entire and exclusive understanding of the parties. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Services Agreement, the Services Agreement controls. Any changes to these Terms must be separately agreed to in writing by FSTAT and Customer and incorporated into this Agreement.

3. Services Location

The location where Services are provided is subject to training device availability and other related considerations in FSTAT’s sole discretion. Depending upon the training location, Services may be delivered by a FSTAT subsidiary or related entity. Maintenance training Services at a Customer location are provided as “theory only.” In-aircraft training, “practical” maintenance training using Customer’s aircraft at Customer’s location, or provision of crew services will be governed by a separate services agreement.

4. Services Personnel and Equipment

FSTAT personnel delivering Services will be appropriately certified and trained in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. All simulators and other training devices will be certified, maintained, and operated in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards.

5. Scheduling

Customer authorizes FSTAT to contact Clients to schedule and receive the Services. To facilitate provision of the Services, Customer agrees to: (i) promptly provide FSTAT accurate means of contacting Clients; (ii) advise and assist Clients to obtain proper work permits, visas, or other legally required authorizations to enter and receive the Services within the country as scheduled; (iii) promptly notify FSTAT of any Clients no longer authorized to receive the Services (e.g., Clients who are no longer employed by Customer); and (iv) provide to FSTAT all required prerequisite documentation for each Client prior to the start of Services including, where applicable, valid and current pilot licenses, certificates, and supporting documentation. Customer may not, under any circumstances, sell or resell its scheduled slots for Services to third parties, and FSTAT may terminate this Agreement or any specific Client’s training for violation of this section.

6. Payment

YayPay is FSTAT’s exclusive portal for issuing invoices to Customer. Payments can be processed directly through YayPay or as otherwise instructed on the invoice and must include proper payment remittance. Invoices will be issued to Customer through YayPay from fsi.ar@flightsafety.com. Customer must make full payment in the invoiced currency at least 30 calendar days prior to the first day of each scheduled training event. For training scheduled within 37 calendar days of the first day of training, Customer must make payment in full within 7 calendar days after invoice issuance. Reservations will be cancelled if payment is not received under the terms of this agreement.

7. Disputed Invoices, Late payments, Offsets

Invoices that Customer believes to be inaccurately issued or incorrect in amount must be disputed by Customer within 30 days of issuance. FSTAT will not accept any deductions or set offs to the invoice amount and does not provide discounts for early payment. Failure to pay invoices as they are due may result in (i) an interest charge of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance; and/or (ii) cancellation of any or all of Customer’s scheduled training. Customer agrees that it will pay FSTAT’s reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in the collection of past due amounts.

8. Unapplied Payments

In the absence of timely payment remittance instructions from Customer within 180 days of receiving a payment on Customer’s account, any unapplied payment aged older Terms and Condition of Sale – Training Services (FSTAT) (Rev. 07/01/2024) than 180 days will be applied by FSTAT to unpaid invoices beginning with the oldest unpaid invoice until the balance of the unapplied payment is exhausted.

9. Taxes

Customer assumes all obligations to pay, directly or indirectly, all present and future Taxes arising out of or related to the Services, including any applicable withholding Tax and excluding any income Tax imposed on FSTAT. “Tax” means any tax, fee, charge, or duty and any interest, penalty, fine, or other additions to tax, including, without limitation, sales, use, excise, value added, goods and services, stamp, import, export, customs, transfer, and similar taxes imposed by any domestic or foreign taxing authority, instrumentality, or agency.

a. Proof of Withholding Payment. If withholding Tax is assessed to Customer under applicable law, Customer will provide FSTAT with official Tax receipts or other acceptable evidence of payment. Notwithstanding such payment, Customer shall pay to FSTAT the entire pre-Tax amount due to FSTAT for the Services.

b. Tax Exemptions. If applicable to Customer, Customer will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to FSTAT of Customer’s tax-exempt status. Upon receipt of such evidence, FSTAT will not charge Customer any Taxes from which Customer is exempt. Upon FSTAT’s request, Customer will assist FSTAT to (i) obtain any applicable Tax exemption; and (ii) complete and processing any application form to obtain any applicable Tax treaty benefit.

c. Tax Audit. If FSTAT is audited by any taxing authority(ies) in connection with the Services, FSTAT and Customer agree to reasonably cooperate in the event of a potential challenge to the assessment by the taxing authority(ies), and Customer shall not unreasonably condition, delay, or withhold that cooperation to FSTAT. The party requesting to challenge the audit assessment will be responsible for all legal fees and other expenses related to such challenge. Any fines, penalties, interest, and additions to Taxes or similar liabilities imposed as a result of the audit, will be passed onto Customer in a manner consistent with this Section, except for any late payment penalties and interest which would be the responsibility of FSTAT due to its failure to timely remit Taxes.

10. Rates, Fees, & Expenses

All prices set forth in the Services Agreement (“Prices”) are subject to escalation on each annual anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement. Prices will be adjusted by the percent increase, if any, set forth in the U.S. Government Consumer Price Index–All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”), not seasonally adjusted, for the most recently available 12-month period ending three months prior to the applicable effective date anniversary. Prices will be unchanged if the CPI-U decreases for the applicable period. Prices are further subject to increase or surcharges from necessary updates to training materials or devices used to deliver the Services due to legal or regulatory requirements. Such additional surcharges will be separately invoiced if applicable.

a. Cancellation Fees. Proactive reservation management is critical to ensuring training availability and cancellations disrupt continuity in operations to all customers and service delivery. As a result, the following cancellation fees are charged for scheduled training events cancelled by Customer or Client, regardless of whether or when the training is rescheduled for a later date: (i) 50% of the applicable rate for cancellations between 30 and 14 calendar days before the training start date; and (ii) 100% of the applicable rate for cancellations made 13 or fewer calendar days before the training start date. Customer’s training slot for the date, program, and location is forfeited by Customer immediately upon cancellation and may be filled immediately by FSTAT in its sole discretion. The fees stated in this section will apply regardless of whether FSTAT is able to fill Customer’s forfeited slot.

b. Expenses. If applicable, Customer agrees to pay reasonable expenses, including, among other things, transportation, food, and lodging, for Services requiring travel of a FSTAT employee to a Customer-requested location.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for (i) a material breach of material obligations by the other party, if such breach is not cured within 15 days of written notice by the terminating party to the breaching party (provided, that, if the breaching party has begun to cure within that 15-day period, the breaching party shall have an additional five-day period to cure); (ii) the other party becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is adjudged bankrupt, or if a receiver is appointed for the whole or any part of its assets; or (iii) if the terminating party determines, in its sole discretion, that the breaching party is or may be in violation of Section 14 without the ability to cure. Regardless of the reason for termination, Customer agrees it will pay FSTAT for any Services performed or in progress at the time of termination.

12. FSTAT Materials

FSTAT exclusively owns and shall retain all rights, title, and/or interest in any training or course materials, syllabi, courseware, software, reports, concepts, pictures, prints, videos, audio or visual recordings, artists’ renderings, plans, ideas, inventions, data, tools, media, documentation, and any other materials created or developed by FSTAT in connection with the Services (collectively, “FSTAT Materials”).
