d. Any breach of this Warranty Agreement shall be considered as a breach of the DMU Contract actionable by both Department and UTA.

Agreement

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which by this reference are incorporated herein, and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Warranty Agreement, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties acknowledge, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 7: WARRANTY Page | 4

WR 1. Basic Warranty Provisions Incorporation. The Contract is hereby incorporated into this Warranty Agreement to the full extent necessary to give full effect to all of the terms and conditions of this Warranty Agreement, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) UTA, as a third-party beneficiary of the Contract for purposes of enforcing this Warranty Agreement (as provided in GC 9.20 Third-Party Beneficiaries), shall have the right to enforce all provisions of the Contract that are necessary or desirable to give full effect to each term and condition of this Warranty Agreement; and (ii) the standards and obligations established in or pursuant to the Contract for the DMUs and Spare Parts apply with equal force to this Warranty Agreement.

Department’s Status. The Department is a third-party beneficiary of this Warranty Agreement. The Department’s rights include, but are not limited to, the following: the Department has the right to take all actions necessary or desirable under this Warranty Agreement to enforce the Warranty Agreement’s requirements and benefit from the Contractor’s obligations, whether or not UTA requests action by the Department.

UTA’s Designated Representative. UTA shall designate a representative as the point of contact for all actions required by this Warranty Agreement.

Work Affecting Contract. To the extent that actions required by this Warranty Agreement make action necessary or desirable in connection with the Contract (such as by changing manufacturing processes to avoid incorporating fleet defects into DMUs that are under construction), the Contractor will take such actions, and such Work will be administered as part of the Contract.

Relation of Documents. In addition to any other matters set forth in this Warranty Agreement, the Contract and this Warranty Agreement relate to each other as follows:

1. The terms capitalized in this Warranty Agreement have the same meaning as the terms capitalized in the Contract except where a term is specifically defined in this Warranty Agreement.

2. While this Warranty Agreement is an independent agreement, it is also one of the “Contract Documents” as that term is defined in the Contract.

3. If there are references in this Warranty Agreement to Work that was performed before Final Acceptance of a DMU or acceptance of Equipment is achieved, such reference is to Work that the Contractor performed pursuant to the Contract, and such Work shall be as further set forth in the Contract.

4. If there are references in this Warranty Agreement to Work that must be performed after Final Acceptance of a DMU or acceptance of Equipment is achieved, such references are to Work that shall be performed pursuant to this Warranty Agreement.

WR 1.1 Warranty Requirements

WR 1.1.1 Contractor Warranty The Contractor guarantees and warranties that all Work performed, and DMUs, Equipment and Components furnished pursuant to the Contract shall meet the following requirements:

1. Conform to the Technical Specifications and other requirements of the Contract Documents;

2. Fulfill their design function and be fit for both their ordinary and intended purposes;

3. Be free from all Latent Defects;

4. Perform satisfactorily;

5. Be of good quality conforming to generally recognized industry standards;

Section 7: WARRANTY Page | 5

6. Be free of Defects in materials and workmanship;

7. Be consistent with applicable legal requirements; and

8. Be free from Related Defects.

All design, engineering, or other professional services will satisfy applicable professional standards of care and all materials and equipment furnished as part of the Work performed pursuant to the Contract will be new (unless otherwise specified in the Contract).

If UTA detects a condition that is not compliant with the Contractor’s warranties with respect to any DMU within the applicable warranty period stated in this Warranty Agreement or the Contract, UTA will notify the Contractor after detection. The Contractor must attend and commence repairs as soon as is practical but no longer than twenty four (24) hours from receiving UTA’s notification of a Defect covered by the Warranty Agreement.

The Contractor shall redesign, repair, or replace the Defect or malfunction in a manner satisfactory to UTA as soon as reasonably possible. The Contractor shall also perform such tests as UTA may require to verify that such redesign, repair, or replacement complies with the requirements of the Contract Documents. In addition to other warranties that may be in effect, the Contractor warrants the redesigned, repaired, or replaced Work for a period of one year after the acceptance by UTA of the completed corrective Work. If other warranties are in effect with respect to the DMU, Equipment or Component requiring the corrective Work, their warranty periods shall also be suspended and will not recommence until completion of the corrective Work. All costs incidental to such corrective Work will be borne by the Contractor.

As determined by UTA and to the extent practicable, UTA will allow the Contractor or its designated representative to perform the repair work. All repair work must be performed at a vehicle maintenance facility designated by UTA. At its discretion, UTA may perform warranty work if UTA determines the need to do so based on transit needs or other requirements. Any work so performed by UTA shall be reimbursed by the Contractor, including the cost of any force account labor supplied by UTA. If UTA performs the warranty-covered repairs, it may correct or repair the Defect and any Related Defects utilizing parts supplied by the Contractor. At its discretion, UTA may also use parts available from UTA’s stock-on-hand if deemed in UTA’s best interest. UTA will submit reports of all repairs performed by UTA and covered by the warranty to the Contractor for reimbursement and replacement of parts. UTA will submit such reports on a periodic basis determined by UTA.

The Contractor shall obtain all Subcontractors', Suppliers', or other sub-manufacturers’ warranties in the name of UTA and shall deliver the same to UTA; provided, however, that the delivery of such Subcontractors', Suppliers', or other sub-manufacturers' warranties will in no respect relieve the Contractor of its obligations under the warranty provisions listed in the Contract Documents. Unless expressly waived in writing by UTA, no Subcontractors', Suppliers', or other sub-manufacturers' warranty will expire prior to the date of expiration of the warranty provided by the Contractor for such item under the Contract Documents. Nor will any Subcontractors', Suppliers', or other sub-manufacturers' warranty contain terms substantially different than as required under the Contract Documents. UTA, by accepting the Subcontractors', Suppliers', or other sub-manufacturers' warranties provided by the Contractor, in no respect waives any rights against the Contractor. Should there be a failure of the applicable Subcontractor, Supplier, or sub-manufacturer to honor the guarantee or warranty, UTA may, in its discretion, enforce any such rights against the Contractor.

UTA will not be required to perform unusual or extraordinary maintenance or overhauls to keep the warranties in effect. UTA will not be required to purchase Spare Parts or other replacement Components from a sole source if such Components are otherwise available from equal or superior sources.

Section 7: WARRANTY Page | 6

Nothing in the preceding provisions intends or implies that the Contractor shall be required to warranty items that do not perform satisfactorily because of abuse or lack of routine maintenance by UTA or from vandalism or accidents. However, failures resulting from want of routine maintenance which result from a want of training, technical support, parts delivery, manuals, catalogs and schemata, Special Tools, and other product support required and requested from the Contractor, will be the responsibility of the Contractor and are eligible for repair under the provisions of the warranty.

Warranties in this document are in addition to any statutory remedies or warranties imposed on the Contractor. Consistent with this requirement, the Contractor warrants and guarantees to UTA each complete DMU and specific subsystems, Equipment and Components as follows in this Warranty.

Contractor and UTA shall hold a monthly warranty administration meeting starting at the commencement of the first Warranty and concluding when all Warranty periods are completed, including any Warranty extensions.

WR 1.1.2 General Warranty The complete DMU shall be warranted to be free from Defects and Related Defects for two years unless a longer warranty period is specified elsewhere in this document. The warranty period with respect to each DMU shall begin on the date of its Conditional Acceptance.

However, the warranty period for each of the following will begin on the later of: the date of their acceptance or the date when Contractor has remedied a Defect: the systems, subsystems, major assemblies, subassemblies, products, parts, apparatus, articles, other materials with the open items on the vehicle, and open items identified during the Conditional Acceptance inspection that require corrective action, or for which the Fleet Defects have been identified. After the general two-year warranty period has commenced, Sections WR 1.1.5 Extension of Warranty, WR 1.2.5 Fleet Defects, and WR 2.4 Warranty After Replacement/Repairs concern additional warranties following repair or replacement of Defects. For clarity, if a Fleet Defect is identified prior to commencement of the warranty period, the warranty shall not commence until the Fleet Defect is cured as described herein. If a Fleet Defect is found after commencement of the warranty period, WR 1.2.5 Fleet Defects applies.

The Contractor’s warranties and guarantees will apply regardless of any lesser period of warranty provided by the contractor or Supplier of Components.

Any Conditional Acceptance for revenue service does not relieve the Contractor of the liability to correct Defects as required by the Contract. The warranty is based on regular operation of the DMU under the operating conditions prevailing in UTA’s operating region.

WR 1.1.3 Carbody Structure The carbody and underframe structure as defined in TS 3 Carbody Exterior, is warranted to be free from Defects, and Related Defects for five years from the date of Conditional Acceptance of a DMU.

WR 1.1.4 Major Subsystems The following major subsystems shall be warranted to be free from Defects and Related Defects for the period shown below from the date of Conditional Acceptance of a DMU (for each DMU, separately):

Item Years Propulsion System 5 Brake System (excluding lining) 3 HVAC System 4 Drive Train 5

Section 7: WARRANTY Page | 7

Item Years Destination Signs 3 Truck Structural Parts (frame and bolster): 5 Axles 5 Software and Firmware 5 Paint and Graphics (no fading or deterioration) 5

WR 1.1.5 Extension of Warranty If, during the warranty period, repairs or modifications on any DMU are made necessary by Defective design, materials or workmanship, UTA shall issue written notice to the Contractor. If repairs are not completed within 10 days of the notice, the warranty period will be suspended and shall not recommence running until such time that the repairs are fully completed and the warranty will be extended for that component on a day-for-day basis. If the repairs are not completed within 60 days, resulting in the DMU being unavailable for revenue service, liquidated damages will commence in accordance with SP 3.3.2, Liquidated Damages: Warranty, and will accrue on a day-for-day basis starting at Day 61 that the DMU is unavailable.

WR 1.2 Voiding of Warranty The warranty shall not apply to the failure of any part or Component of the DMU that directly results from misuse, negligence, accident or repairs not conducted in accordance with the Contractor-provided maintenance manuals and with workmanship performed by adequately trained personnel in accordance with recognized standards of the industry. The warranty also shall be void if normal inspections and scheduled preventive maintenance procedures are not conducted substantially as recommended in the Contractor’s maintenance manuals and if that omission caused the part or component failure. In any event the warranty shall not cover Defects or discrepancies caused by third parties, vandalism, or force majeure events, except for such Defects or discrepancies caused by the normal or foreseeable use of the DMUs.

UTA shall maintain documentation, reviewable by the Contractor, verifying service activities in conformance with the Contractor’s maintenance manuals.

WR 1.2.1 Exceptions and Additions to Warranty The warranty shall not apply to the following items:

• Scheduled maintenance items;

• Items furnished by UTA; and

• Interior and exterior finishes, hoses, fittings and fabric due to normal wear and tear.

WR 1.2.2 Reserved

WR 1.2.3 Superior Warranty The Contractor shall pass on to UTA any warranty offered by a Supplier that is superior to that required herein. The Contractor shall provide a list to UTA noting the conditions and limitations of the Superior Warranty not later than the start of production. The Contractor shall not be required to administer the Superior Warranty except through mutual agreement between the parties.

WR 1.2.4 Extended Warranty

Section 7: WARRANTY Page | 8

The following subsystems shall be warranted to be free from Defects and Related Defects for the number of years specified below:

• As listed in WR 1.1.3 Carbody Structure

• As listed in WR 1.1.4 Major Subsystems

WR 1.2.5 Fleet Defects A Fleet Defect is defined as cumulative failures of ten (10) percent or more of the same Component, system, subsystem, major assembly, subassembly, product, part, apparatus, article, or other material in the same or similar applications where such items are covered by warranty. One hundred percent (100%) of such items identified under Fleet Defects, including those with an expired warranty, will be deemed to require an approved redesign, replacement, or adjustment under this warranty. A Fleet Defect shall apply only to the warranty period in WR 1.1.2 General Warranty, WR 1.1.3 Carbody Structure, WR 1.1.4 Major Subsystems, WR 1.1.5 Extension of Warranty, and WR 1.5 Latent Defects. When a Fleet Defect is declared, the remaining warranty stops on that Component, system, subsystem, major assembly, subassembly, product, part apparatus, article, or other material. The warranty period does not restart until the Fleet Defect is corrected.

For the purpose of Fleet Defects, each option order shall be treated as a separate DMU fleet. In addition, should there be a change in a major Component within either the base order or an option order, the DMUs containing the new major Component shall become a separate DMU fleet for the purposes of Fleet Defects.

The Contractor shall correct a Fleet Defect under the warranty provisions defined in WR 2 Repair Procedures.

After correcting the Defect, UTA and the Contractor shall mutually agree to and the Contractor shall promptly undertake and complete a Work program reasonably designed to prevent the occurrence of the same Defect in all other DMUs including those with an expired warranty and Spare Parts purchased under the Contract. Where the specific Defect can be solely attributed to particular identifiable part(s), the Work program shall include redesign and/or replacement of only the Defectively designed and/or manufactured part(s). In all other cases, the Work program shall include inspection and/or correction of all of the DMUs in the fleet via a mutually agreed-to arrangement.

Defects classified as Fleet Defects shall be cured only by a Field Modification Instruction (FMI) approved by UTA. The FMI program must be organized to maximize configuration control, quality, safety, and speed of completion. The FMI program must also ensure that sufficient industrial engineering and Components planning is available for each and every FMI to minimize downtime of the DMUs. The Components, systems, subsystems, major assemblies, subassemblies, products, parts, apparatuses, articles, or other materials affected by the FMI shall have their warranty extended by one year from the date of completion of the FMI Work, or until the expiration of the previously effective warranty period, whichever is longer. Spare Parts and Components must be included in any FMI.

A Fleet Defect may be declared by UTA in the event of a safety-critical defect on as few as one DMU.

Section 7: WARRANTY Page | 9

WR 1.3 Warranty of Spare Parts For any Spare Parts delivered to UTA in accordance with the Contract, the Contractor warrants the Spare Parts to be free of Defects or Related Defects in material and workmanship for 12 months from acceptance of the Spare Part. In the event of a Defect or failure of the Spare Part, the Contractor shall make and implement any modifications, repairs, adjustments and/or replacements determined to be necessary by the Contractor to correct the Defective part. In the event of such modifications, repairs, adjustments and/or replacements of a part by the Contractor only, the remaining warranty period shall apply.

WR 1.4 Related Defects

WR 1.4.1 In General If a Related Defect is identified within the applicable warranty period, the Contractor's obligations under this warranty shall extend through the remaining warranty period and any extended time period thereafter once the Defect is fully corrected.

WR 1.4.2 Contractor’s Responsibilities Upon identification of a Related Defect, the Contractor shall:

1. Conduct a root cause analysis to confirm the relationship between the Defect and prior warranty repairs or systemic issues.

2. Notify UTA of the findings and provide a corrective action plan.

3. Repair or replace all affected Components, systems, or subsystems at the Contractor's expense, including all associated labor, materials, transportation, and testing costs.

WR 1.4.3 Corrective Actions The Contractor shall ensure that corrective actions do not adversely affect other Components, systems, or the overall performance of the DMU.

WR 1.4.4 Repair or Replacement Parts All repaired or replaced parts provided under this warranty shall be new or equivalent to new and meet the original equipment specifications.

WR 1.4.5 Systemic Defects If a Related Defect is determined to be part of a systemic Defect affecting multiple DMUs or components, the Contractor shall:

• Notify UTA immediately upon discovery.

• Propose a fleet-wide corrective action plan.

• Perform necessary repairs or replacements on all affected DMUs at the Contractor’s expense.

WR 1.4.6 Contractor Notification UTA shall notify the Contractor in writing of any suspected Related Defects as soon as practicable.

WR 1.4.7 Contractor Access

Section 7: WARRANTY Page | 10

UTA shall provide reasonable access to the DMUs for the Contractor to inspect, diagnose, and repair Related Defects.

WR 1.5 Latent Defects This Warranty Agreement does not exclude or obviate any Latent Defect claims which arise outside of the scope of warranty coverage. The Contractor shall be responsible for correcting any Latent Defects discovered within 5 years after the date of Final Completion. Latent Defects are those defects which were not reasonably discoverable during the inspection/acceptance process but are discovered afterward. UTA shall notify Contractor within 10 days of discovering the Latent Defect. Contractor shall repair the Latent Defect in accordance with Contract specifications and to the satisfaction of UTA within 30 days of notification. If Latent Defects are not repaired within 30 days, or a time extension granted by UTA, UTA may, in its sole discretion, undertake to repair the item at Contractor’s expense. If the repairs are not completed within 60 days, resulting in the DMU being unavailable for revenue service, liquidated damages will commence in accordance with SP 3.3.2 Liquidated Damages: Warranty and will accrue on a day-for-day basis starting at Day 61 that the DMU is unavailable. Once a Latent Defect is discovered, acceptance of the item is considered to be revoked. Once repaired to UTA’s satisfaction, the discrepant item will be re-inspected and re-accepted. Once re-accepted, the repaired item falls under Section 2.4 Warranty After Replacement/Repair.

WR 2. Repair Procedures

WR 2.1 Repair Performance The Contractor is responsible for all warranty-covered repair Work. Under normal circumstances, UTA will allow the Contractor or its designated representative to perform such Work. At its discretion, UTA may perform such Work if it determines it needs to do so, based on transit service or other requirements.

Such Work shall be reimbursed by the Contractor. If UTA finds it necessary to perform the Work due to Contractor’s failure to respond in a timely manner in accordance with WR 2.2 Repairs by the Contractor, then the Work shall be warranted as described in WR 2.4 Warranty After Replacement/Repairs below.

WR 2.2 Repairs by the Contractor If UTA detects a Defect within the warranty period, it shall notify the Contractor.

UTA will undertake initial diagnosis of the faults on DMUs whether they have been reported in service or discovered during preventative maintenance.
