4.2. Any delay in payment of an invoice shall bear interest as specified in the Commercial Agreement.
4.3. The rates, and other applicable amounts payable to CAE under the Commercial Agreement, will be increased annually as per
the indexation formula specified in therein.
4.4. The rates quoted in the Commercial Agreement are based upon the Equipment and Course contents agreed to by the Parties as

the date such changes materialize.
4.5. Customer acknowledges that the rates are exclusive of any Customer Representatives costs related to their attendance at the
Training Centre, such as, without limitation, lodging, transportation (ground and air), meals and other incidental expenses. All
such costs shall all be borne by Customer.

the Confirmed booking, the Confirmed booking time must be inscribed in the Log with a comment indicating the exact start time.
Training Services will be charged on an hourly basis for any time spent in the Equipment and/or training rendered in excess of the
Confirmed booking. CAE is authorized to make and/or correct entries in the Log if Customer has not: a) accurately
reported/completed same; b) signed the Log; or c) used the Equipment, even though it had a Confirmed booking. Based on the
Log, CAE will prepare a monthly report stating the Dry Training hours spent on any Equipment and any Wet Training and will
CAE GTC Training Services (without entitlement concept) v 02-2009.doc

Page 2 of 7

forward such report to Customer after the end of each month. In the absence of manifest errors, the Log shall be conclusive
evidence as between the Parties of the actual hours of usage of the Equipment and rendered Training Services.
5. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
5.1. Customer is responsible for ensuring that all its Representatives comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, company
practices, directives and codes of conduct in the relevant Training Centre(s) as well as with the terms of the Contract.
5.2. Pursuant to the U.S. Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) rules (as amended), detailed information must be provided to the DHS on any non-US citizen desirous of obtaining
training at a facility in the US or outside of the US leading to US pilot licence or certification.
5.3. (For Wet Training) CAE shall be responsible to seek approval from the DHS in accordance with Clause 5.2 hereof in order
for any Trainee who is a non-US citizen to receive Training Services. To ensure timely receipt of approval from the DHS,
Customer shall provide CAE, a minimum of 50 days prior to the start of the Training Services, with any required detailed
information, which may include without limitation the Trainees fingerprints, photograph, passport information, visa information
(if a visa is required in the country of the Training Centre), certifications and aircraft ratings. Receipt of DHS approval is required
before CAE can provide Training Services. Cancellation of a Confirmed booking by CAE due to Customers failure to comply
with the ATSA/DHS requirements during the above time frame, or due to the DHS failure to approve a Trainee, is not a valid
reason for non-payment of financial compensation to CAE on the same basis as if it were a cancellation under Clause 3 hereof.
5.4. (For Dry Training) Customer shall be responsible to obtain the approval from the DHS to provide such training to a non-US
citizen and, prior to the start of such training, Customer shall provide CAE with written evidence of such approval. CAE shall
cancel any Confirmed booking where Customer has failed to provide CAE with this written evidence and, in such case, financial
compensation shall be payable to CAE on the same basis as if it were a cancellation under Clause 3 hereof.
5.5. If CAE is not providing any Training Services to Customer under the Commercial Agreement leading to Trainees obtaining a
US licence, then Clauses 5.3 and 5.4 shall not apply. In the event that Customer wishes to obtain Training Services from CAE
leading to a US license, then Customer acknowledges that the provision of any such training by CAE will be subject to prior
written notification to CAE, and amendment to the existing Commercial Agreement or the entering into of a new Commercial
Agreement, to ensure compliance with the requirements set out in this Clause 5.
6. USE OF EQUIPMENT
6.1. Customer recognizes and agrees that it shall not have any ownership claim or right to the Equipment or any other property in
the Training Centre.
6.2. Customer agrees to prudently use the Equipment and any other property in the Training Centre to which it has access, and
recognizes that it will be responsible for any losses, damages, costs, expenses and fees directly or indirectly related to the use of
the Equipment or of any other property, contrary to the terms hereof. In all cases where CAE provides Dry Training, Customer
shall ensure that its instructors have the knowledge, skills and qualifications necessary to use the Equipment and shall provide
proof of same to CAE.
6.3. If a deficiency in the Equipment materially affects the portion of the training to be or being done by Customer, Customer will
be entitled to continue with the training, in which case it will be deemed to have successfully met the training objective, or to
suspend the training. In all cases Customer shall promptly report any deficiencies in the Equipment to CAE. If Customer suspends
the training, CAE shall promptly address any such deficiencies and Customer shall be advised of the schedule proposed by CAE
to effect such corrections. CAEs liability for Confirmed Training Session/Training Event lost as a result of such deficiencies will
be limited to the rescheduling of such Training Session/Training Event within a reasonable period, at mutually agreeable time and
for such period of time required to achieve the training objective of the suspended Training Session/Training Event.

Customer and applicable regulatory authorities) without the prior written consent of the provider; iii) provide access to such
Training Material only to its representatives having a need to know, and who have assumed confidentiality obligations.

standard operating procedures and OEM manual(s) (including, in the case of pilot training, aircraft operating manuals and quick
reference handbooks) and shall warrant that it has the rights to provide same to CAE for the purposes hereof and shall indemnify
