DATE and on the first day of each interest period.

Brazilian Export Authority are accepted by BUYER, the financing
shall be contracted by BUYER at a financing institution which
shall follow all procedures determined by the PROEX in order to
obtain its benefits. If requested by the financial institution,
EMBRAER will exert its best
Page 5 of 22
<PAGE> 8
efforts to assist such financial institution to comply with the
conditions of the PROEX.

as may be determined by EMBRAER.

forty-five (45) calendar days of the relevant AIRCRAFT
CONTRACTUAL DELIVERY DATE, without prejudice to EMBRAER's option

using BUYER's own resources or,
2. Pay the referred to amounts using alternate financing
scheme to be obtained by BUYER and submitted to EMBRAER
for approval.

the cause of delay to be remedied. EMBRAER undertakes to

longer than three hundred (300) calendar days or to render
the performance of this Agreement impossible, then this

Article 23.b hereof.

thirty (30) calendar days, up to the date EMBRAER notices
BUYER such AIRCRAFT will be ready for delivery via written
notice per Article 8.a hereof, it being understood that
such liquidated damages will not, in any event, exceed
three percent (3%) of the BASIC PRICE of the delayed item.
2. The grace period of thirty (30) calendar days granted by
BUYER to EMBRAER as mentioned herein shall only prevail
should BUYER receive a written notification from EMBRAER
advising the expected delay and provided such written
notification is presented to BUYER sixty (60) calendar
days prior to the relevant AIRCRAFT CONTRACTUAL DELIVERY
DATE.
3. It is agreed between the PARTIES that if, with respect to
a delayed AIRCRAFT, EMBRAER does not receive a claim for

deemed to have fully waived its rights to such liquidated
