2. any other goods or products manufactured, sold, handled or distributed by the Insured or any services provided or recommended by the Insured or by others trading under the Insured's name for use in the manufacture, repair, operation or use of any aircraft; or
3. Any articles furnished by the Insured or by others trading under the Insured's name and installed in aircraft or used in connection with aircraft or for spare parts for aircraft including but not limited to ground handling tools and equipment, training aids, instructions, manuals, blueprints, engineering or other advice or service relating to aircraft and any labor relating to such aircraft or articles.

It is further agreed that this insurance does not apply to Bodily Injury or Property Damage arising out of the grounding of any aircraft.

For the purpose of this endorsement, "Grounding" means the withdrawal of one or more aircraft from flight operations or the imposition of speed, passenger or load restrictions on such aircraft by reason of the existence of or alleged or suspected existence of any defect, fault or condition in such aircraft, or any part thereof sold, handled or distributed by the Insured or manufactured, assembled or processed by any other person or organization according to specifications, plans, suggestions, orders or drawings of the Insured or with tools, machinery or other equipment furnished to such persons or organizations by the Insured, whether such aircraft so withdrawn are owned or operated by the same or different persons, organizations or corporations. A grounding shall be deemed to commence on the date of an Occurrence which discloses such condition or on the date an aircraft is first withdrawn from service on account of such condition, whichever occurs first.
