<p>NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, which is hereby acknowledged, EMBRAER and BUYER hereby agree as
follows:</p>

<p><b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b></p>

<p>Each of the newly manufactured EMB 145 XR AIRCRAFT from the twenty eighth (28<sup>th</sup>) through the one hundred and fourth

<p>Each of the newly manufactured EMB 145 XR AIRCRAFT from the fourty seventh (47<sup>th</sup>) through the one hundred and fourth
(104<sup>th</sup>) shall be delivered with the <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b>. The <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> shall be supplied by
Buyer as Buyer Furnished Equipment (&ldquo;BFE&rdquo;). <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b></p>

<p>For each affected Aircraft Buyer shall deliver the <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> to Embraer at EMBRAER's facilities in S&atilde;o
Jos&eacute; dos Campos, S&atilde;o Paulo, Brazil (&ldquo;BFE Delivery Location&rdquo;), free of any charge to Embraer whatsoever,
at least <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST
FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> days before the Contractual Delivery Date of each Aircraft.</p>

<p>Buyer shall not refuse acceptance of any Aircraft for failure of the <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> to be installed if Embraer is unable
to install the <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> in the Aircraft prior to the Contractual Inspection Date due to: (i) the <b>[CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT]</b> is not received at the BFE Delivery Location at least <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> days before the Contractual Delivery

<p>Contractual Delivery Date, the <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> is rejected by Embraer's Quality Control Department, in its sole
discretion, and a <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> therefore is not received at the BFE Delivery Location within <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> days
before the Contractual Delivery Date.</p>

<p>In such cases, Buyer shall accept the Aircraft without the <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b>. At Buyer's request, Embraer shall install
the <b>[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]</b> within a reasonable period of time on its own premises in Sao Jose dos Campos, otherwise, Buyer shall
