4. Commencement

4.1. Agreement to Lease

Lessor will lease the Aircraft to Lessee and Lessee will take the Aircraft on lease
in accordance with the Operative Documents to which Lessee is a party for the duration
of the Term.

4.2. Technical Acceptance and Delivery


(a) Lessor shall tender the Aircraft to Lessee for technical acceptance
prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date at the Technical Acceptance Location and,
provided that the Aircraft is in the Delivery Condition, Lessee shall irrevocably
technically accept the Aircraft, by its delivery of a Certificate of Technical
Acceptance to Lessor (the “Technical Acceptance”).

(b) Provided the conditions precedent set forth herein for the benefit of
the Lessor have been satisfied, Lessor shall tender the Aircraft for Delivery on the
Delivery Date at the Delivery Location to Lessee and the Lessee shall accept the
Aircraft “as is, where is”. Lessor and Lessee shall evidence Delivery of the
Aircraft hereunder by executing the Lease Supplement.

(c) At the time of Delivery, Lessor shall arrange for the Export
Certificate of Airworthiness for the Aircraft. Following Delivery, Lessee will
ferry the Aircraft at its cost and at its risk to the Habitual Base where upon arrival,
the Aircraft will be deregistered in Singapore.

4.3. Delayed Delivery

(a) If any conditions precedent for the benefit of the Lessor are not
satisfied by the Final Delivery Date, Lessor may terminate this Agreement upon
notice to Lessee, in which event Lessor shall have no further obligations to Lessee
under this Agreement.

(b) Lessor will not be responsible for any losses, including loss of
profit, costs or expenses (including Lessee’s legal expenses in negotiating and
executing the Operative Documents) arising from or in connection with the delay
or failure suffered or incurred by Lessee, whether as a consequence of an
Excusable Delay or damage to the Aircraft not constituting a Total Loss or
otherwise.

4.4. Acceptance and Risk

(a) The Aircraft will be delivered to, and will be accepted by, Lessee at
the Delivery Location on or about the Scheduled Delivery Date (but no later than
the Final Delivery Date unless otherwise agreed by Lessor) immediately
following satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Sections 3.1, 3.2
and 3.4 (or their waiver or deferral by the party entitled to grant such waiver or
deferral).

(b) Immediately following satisfaction of the conditions precedent


specified in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 (or their waiver or deferral by the party
entitled to grant such waiver or deferral), Lessee and Lessor shall forthwith
complete the annexes to the Lease Supplement specifying, among other things,
the maintenance status of the Airframe, Engines, APU and Landing Gear, and
Lessor and Lessee shall sign and deliver to each other the Lease Supplement
whereupon Delivery will occur.

(c) On and from Delivery, the Aircraft will be in every respect at the
sole risk of Lessee, which will bear all risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction to
the Aircraft from any cause whatsoever.

(d) Concurrent with Delivery, Lessee shall take all actions necessary to
cause the Aircraft to be registered with the Aviation Authority and permit the
operation of the Aircraft by Lessee in its normal passenger and/or cargo
operations, including if required, causing this Agreement to be registered with the
Aviation Authority.

4.5. Inspection and Delivery procedure

During the Prior Operator’s redelivery check, Lessee shall be invited to inspect
the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents as described in Schedule 2 to verify whether the
Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents are in the Delivery Condition. If there are deviations
in the condition of the Aircraft from the Delivery Condition, such deviations will be at
Lessor’s option corrected prior to Technical Acceptance as agreed between Lessor and
Lessee or included in the Certificate of Technical Acceptance as discrepancies.

If Lessee notifies Lessor of any defect or non-conformity with the Delivery


Condition following inspection, Lessor and Lessee shall determine (each acting
commercially reasonably) whether such defect or nonconformity is:

(a) capable of remedy by Lessor or the Prior Operator before Delivery,


in which case Lessor at its option will correct or procure the correction of the
defect or non-conformity at its own cost as promptly as practicable prior to
Delivery;

(b) otherwise capable of remedy by Lessee following Delivery, in


which case Lessee shall agree to correct or procure the correction of the defect or
nonconformity at Lessor’s cost as promptly as practicable following Delivery; or

(c) capable of remaining un-remedied following Delivery provided the


absence of remedial action will not affect the airworthiness of the Aircraft, in
which case, the defect or non-conformity will remain un-remedied and the
corresponding Redelivery Condition in Section 12 and Schedule 3 shall be
deemed amended accordingly,

(d) and in the case of (a), (b) or (c), such defect or non-conformity and
agreed remedy shall be set out in full in the Certificate of Technical Acceptance or
Lease Supplement, as applicable.
5. Payments

5.1. Security Deposit

Lessor hereby acknowledges receipt of the Security Deposit in the amount of


$550,000. Lessee acknowledges that the Security Deposit constitutes consideration to
Lessor for leasing the Aircraft to Lessee and upon payment irrevocably and
unconditionally became the unencumbered property of Lessor, free of any claims or
rights thereto by Lessee, and may be commingled with the other funds of Lessor or its
Affiliates.

5.2. Rental Periods

The first Rental Period will commence on the Delivery Date and end on the day
preceding the numerically corresponding day one (1) month after the Delivery Date.
Each subsequent Rental Period will commence on the day of each month during the Term
which numerically corresponds with the Delivery Date, and will end on the day
immediately preceding the first day of the next Rental Period, except that if a Rental
Period would otherwise overrun the Expiry Date, it will end on the Expiry Date.

5.3. Basic Rent

(a) Time of Payment: For each Rental Period during the Term, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor Basic Rent in advance on each Rent Date. Lessee shall initiate
payment adequately in advance of the Rent Date to ensure that Lessor receives the
payment of Basic Rent on the Rent Date.

(b) Amount: The Basic Rent payable in respect of each Rental Period
will be the Basic Rent Amount, except that if the final Rental Period contains less
than thirty (30) days, the amount of Basic Rent payable in respect of such final
Rental Period will be a pro rata amount of the Basic Rent Amount obtained by
dividing the Basic Rent Amount by thirty (30) and multiplying the result by the
number of days elapsed from, and including, the last Rent Date to, and including,
the Expiry Date.

5.4. Supplemental Rent

(a) Amount: Lessee shall pay to Lessor Supplemental Rent in


relation to each calendar month (or portion thereof) during the Term on the 25th
day following the end of that calendar month (but not later than the Expiry Date
for the last full calendar month and the portion of the calendar month in which the
Expiry Date occurs), based on the status report furnished under the terms of
Section 8.2(d) for the applicable period (the “Applicable Period”), as follows,
except that Lessee shall pay Supplemental Rent for each calendar month during
the Term of at least $100,000 (pro-rated for partial months assuming a thirty-day
month):

(i) in respect of the Airframe, Lessee shall pay (A) the


Airframe 6-Year Check Supplemental Rent Rate (“Airframe 6-Year
Check Supplemental Rent”) and (B) the Airframe 12-Year Check
Supplemental Rent Rate (“Airframe 12-Year Check Supplemental
Rent”), in each case, for the Applicable Period (pro-rated (assuming a
month of thirty days) if the Applicable Period is shorter than one calendar
month);

(ii) in respect of each Engine, Lessee shall pay the Engine


PRSV Supplemental Rent Rate multiplied by the number of Flight Hours
operated by such Engine during the Applicable Period (“Engine PRSV
Supplemental Rent”);

(iii) in respect of each Engine, Lessee shall pay the Engine LLP
Supplemental Rent Rate multiplied by the number of Cycles operated by
such Engine during the Applicable Period (“Engine LLP Supplemental
Rent”);

(iv) in respect of the Landing Gear, Lessee shall pay the


Landing Gear Supplemental Rent Rate for the Applicable Period (pro- rated
(assuming a month of thirty days) if the Applicable Period is shorter than one
calendar month) (“Landing Gear Supplemental Rent”); and

(v) in respect of the APU, Lessee shall pay the APU


Supplemental Rent Rate multiplied by the number of APU Hours operated by such
Engine during the Applicable Period (“APU Supplemental Rent”).

(b) Adjustment: The Supplemental Rent rates referred to in Section


5.4(a) shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) the Airframe 6-Year Supplemental Rent Rate, the Airframe


12-Year Supplemental Rent Rate, the Engine PRSV Supplemental Rent Rate, the
Landing Gear Supplemental Rent Rate and the APU Supplemental Rent Rate are
based on January 2019 Dollars and each such rate, as otherwise adjusted under the
terms of this Section 5.4(b), shall be increased on January 1 of each calendar year
during the Term starting January 2020 at an annual rate of 3.0%.

(ii) the Engine LLP Supplemental Rent Rate (as otherwise


adjusted under the terms of this Section 5.4(b)) shall at Lessor’s discretion
be adjusted by Lessor on January 1 of each calendar year during the Term
starting January 2020 based on changes in the then current Engine
Manufacturer’s catalog list prices for Engine LLPs and any stub life
assumed by Lessor, and the adjusted Engine LLP Supplemental Rent Rate
determined by Lessor, absent manifest error, shall be binding on Lessor
and Lessee.

(iii) the Engine PRSV Supplemental Rent Rate payable on each


Supplemental Rent payment date shall be based on the Flight Hour-to- Cycle ratio
and de-rate percentage(s) of operation of the Engine for the preceding calendar
month as described in Table 2 of Schedule 5. The relevant Engine PRSV
Supplemental Rent Rates for intermediate Flight Hour to Cycle ratios and de-rate
falling between the values shown in Table 2 of Schedule 5 shall be determined by
linear interpolation of the amounts shown in such table. The relevant Engine PRSV
Supplemental Rent Rates will be subject to further adjustment to the extent a
replacement Engine is provided by Lessee in accordance with the terms of Section
11.3.

(iv) The Supplemental Rent rates may be increased by Lessor in


its discretion for any differences in operating parameters if the benign operating
conditions assumed to determine the Supplemental Rent rates change.

Lessor shall be entitled to audit Lessee’s calculations of Engine PRSV


Supplemental Rent Rates and other Supplemental Rent rates annually on each
anniversary of the Delivery Date and on the Expiry Date. If because of a
difference in Flight Hour to Cycle ratio or derate percentage or any other
parameter Lessor determines that Lessee has underpaid Supplemental Rent for
any period, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount determined by Lessor of such
underpayment within five (5) Business Days after notice by Lessor of such
required payment.

5.5. Nature of Supplemental Rent

Lessee acknowledges that the Supplemental Rent constitutes additional Rent


payable for the use of the Aircraft and shall irrevocably and unconditionally become the
unencumbered property of Lessor upon payment thereof by Lessee, free of any claims or
rights thereto by Lessee. Supplemental Rent shall not be drawable by or refundable to
Lessee for maintenance of the Aircraft or for any other reason, and shall be used only as a
credit against Redelivery Compensation obligations of the Lessee.

5.6. Redelivery Compensation


On the Expiry Date, unless there has been a Total Loss of the Aircraft, the Lessee
shall make the following payment (the “Redelivery Compensation”) to the Lessor:

(a) for the Airframe, an amount (not less than zero) equal to the highest
Airframe 6-Year Check Supplemental Rent Rate during the Term multiplied by (i)
the number of complete months (or any fraction of any month) at Redelivery since
the last Airframe 6-Year Check minus (ii) the number of complete months (or any
fraction of any month) at Delivery since the last Airframe 6-Year Check; plus

(b) for the Airframe, an amount (not less than zero) equal to the highest
Airframe 12-Year Check Supplemental Rent Rate during the Term multiplied by (i)
the number of complete months (or any fraction of any month) at Redelivery since
the last Airframe 12-Year Check minus (ii) the number of complete months (or any
fraction of any month) at Delivery since the last Airframe 12-Year Check; plus

(c) for the Landing Gear, an amount (not less than zero) equal to the
highest Landing Gear Supplemental Rent Rate during the Term multiplied by (i)
the number of complete months (or fraction of any month) at Redelivery since the
last Landing Gear Overhaul minus (ii) the number of complete months (or any
fraction of any month) at Delivery since the last Landing Gear Overhaul; plus

(d) for each Engine, an amount (not less than zero) equal to the highest
Engine PRSV Supplemental Rent Rate during the Term multiplied by (i) the
number of Flight Hours at Redelivery since the last Engine PRSV on such Engine
minus (ii) the number of Flight Hours at Delivery since the last Engine PRSV; plus

(e) For each Engine, an amount (not less than zero) equal to the highest
Engine LLP Supplemental Rent Rate during the Term multiplied by (i) the number
of Cycles recorded on the Engine LLP’s at Redelivery minus (ii) the number of
Cycles recorded on the Engine LLP’s at Delivery (with the Lessor to increase such
amount in its sole discretion if any Engine LLP has been replaced during the
Term); plus

(f) For the APU, an amount (not less than zero) equal to the highest
APU Supplemental Rent Rate during the Term multiplied by (i) the number of
APU Hours recorded on the APU at Redelivery since the last APU Overhaul minus
(ii) the number of APU Hours at Delivery since the last APU Overhaul.

Provided that no Default or Event of Default is continuing, Lessor shall grant


Lessee a credit against the amount of Redelivery Compensation equal to the aggregate
Supplemental Rent paid by Lessee to Lessor and not applied by Lessor (in its sole
discretion) to the cost of any maintenance procedure. Such credit shall not exceed the
aggregate Supplemental Rent paid by Lessee to Lessor and not applied to the cost of any
maintenance procedure.
5.7. Payments

(a) All payments of Rent shall be made by Lessee to Lessor under this
Agreement and will be made for value on the due date, for the full amount due, in
Dollars and in same day funds, settled through the New York Clearing House

or to such other account of Lessor in Ireland as Lessor may direct by at


least five (5) Business Days prior written notice. Lessor shall provide an
invoice in respect of each payment of Basic Rent at least two (2) Business
Days prior to the corresponding Rent Date, provided however that a
failure to provide such invoice by Lessor shall not in any way relieve
Lessee of its obligation to pay the correct amount of Basic Rent on the
Rent Date, provided further that if Lessor fails to provide such invoice no
less than two (2) Business Days prior to any Rent Date, Lessee may make
the Basic Rent payment that is due on such Rent Date within two (2)
Business Days from the date of the receipt of such invoice.

(b) If any Rent or other payment would otherwise become due on a day
which is not a Business Day, it shall be due on the immediately following Business
Day or, if that Business Day falls in the following month, in the following year, or
after the Expiry Date, on the Business Day immediately before such date.

5.8. Gross-up
(a) All payments by Lessee under the Operative Documents to which
Lessee is a party will be made without offset or counterclaim, free and clear of
and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (other than
Taxes that Lessee is compelled by law to deduct or withhold).

(b) All Taxes (other than Non-Indemnified Taxes) in respect of


payments by Lessee under the Operative Documents shall be for the account of
Lessee.

(c) If Lessee is compelled by Applicable Law to make a deduction or


withholding in respect of Taxes (other than Non-Indemnified Taxes) from any
payment due from Lessee to an Indemnitee under the Operative Documents and
such Indemnitee does not then receive for its own benefit on the due date a net
amount equal to the full amount provided for under the Operative Documents,
Lessee will pay all necessary additional amounts to ensure receipt by such
Indemnitee of the full amount provided for under the Operative Documents as if
no such deduction or withholding had been required to be made.

(d) Lessee shall not be obliged to make a payment under this


Section 5.7 if (x) any of the following events have occurred and are continuing at
the time the payment would otherwise be due and (y) such event(s) would result
in an increase in the amount that Lessee would have been obliged to pay under
this Section 5.7 but for the occurrence and continuance of such event(s):

(i) Lessor fails to comply with its obligations in Section


5.10(b); or

(ii) any representation or statement given by Lessor in the Tax


Declaration proves to be incorrect or untrue when made or repeated.

5.9. Taxation

Lessee will on demand pay and indemnify each Tax Indemnitee


against all Taxes (other than Non-Indemnified Taxes) levied or imposed against or
upon such Tax Indemnitee and relating to or attributable to Lessee, the Operative
Documents or the Aircraft in connection with the importation, exportation,
registration, ownership (but only to the extent attributable to or relating to, or
arising as a result of the leasing, possession, operation, use or maintenance of the
Aircraft by or on behalf of the Lessee), leasing, subleasing by Lessee, delivery,
possession, use, operation, repair, maintenance, overhaul, transportation, landing,
storage, presence or redelivery of the Aircraft or any part thereof or any rent,
receipts, insurance proceeds, income or other amounts arising therefrom.
5.10. Value Added Tax

(a) For purposes of this Section 5.9, “VAT” means value added tax,
goods and service tax and any goods and services, sales or turnover tax, imposition
or levy of a similar nature, penalties, fines, surcharges and interest thereon and
additions thereto and “supply” includes anything on or in respect of which VAT is
chargeable.

(b) Lessee shall pay each Tax Indemnitee or the relevant taxing
authority, as the case may be, the amount of any VAT chargeable in respect of any
supply for VAT purposes under the Operative Documents.

(c) Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under the Operative


Documents is exclusive of VAT (if any), and if VAT is payable in respect of any
amount payable by Lessee under the Operative Documents, Lessee shall, pay all
such VAT and shall indemnify each Tax Indemnitee against any claims for the
same, and where appropriate Lessee shall increase the payments that would
otherwise be required to be made under the Operative Documents so that such Tax
Indemnitee is left in the same position as it would have been had no VAT been
payable. Lessee shall provide evidence to Lessor, if available, in respect of
payment of any VAT paid by Lessee with respect to the Operative Documents.

5.11. Information

(a) If Lessee is required by any Applicable Law to deliver any report


or return in connection with any Taxes, then Lessee will duly complete the same
and, in particular, will not state therein that any Person other than Lessee is
responsible for the use and operation of the Aircraft and for the Taxes (other than
NonIndemnified Taxes) arising therefrom. Lessee will, on reasonable request,
supply a copy of the report or return to any Tax Indemnitee to enable such Tax
Indemnitee to fulfil its Tax filing or other reporting requirements with respect to
the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, provided however
that Lessee shall not be required to supply any report, return, information or other
documents which are proprietary or confidential to Lessee or the supply of which
would put Lessee in breach of any Applicable Law. If Lessee requires any
information or cooperation from any Tax Indemnitee in order to satisfy its
obligations as set forth above, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly furnish such
information or cooperation as Lessee may reasonably request in writing.

(b) Lessor shall provide to Lessee on the Delivery Date and


subsequently on each anniversary of the Delivery Date during the Term:

(i) a Tax Declaration substantially in the form of Exhibit G or


such other form reasonably satisfactory to Lessee; and
(ii) a Tax Residency Certificate as issued by the Office of
Revenue Commissioners in Ireland confirming that Lessor is resident for the
purposes of taxation in Ireland to the extent it is the practice of the Office of
Revenue Commissioners to issue such certificates to aircraft owners and lessors in
general. If the Office of Revenue Commissioners ceases to issue tax residence
certificates generally to aircraft owners and lessors, Lessor shall, if requested by
Lessee (and at Lessor’s cost), use commercially reasonable endeavours to provide
to Lessee such other documentation as Lessee may require to put Lessee in the
same position (to the extent possible in the context of Applicable Law then in
effect at the time of the request) regarding Taxes on payments under this
Agreement as it would have been in if such Tax Residence Certificate had been
available.

5.12. Taxation of Indemnity Payments

If and to the extent that any sums payable to any Tax Indemnitee by Lessee under
the Operative Documents by way of indemnity are insufficient, by reason of any Taxes
payable in respect of those sums, for such Tax Indemnitee to discharge the corresponding
liability to the relevant third party (including any taxation authority), or to reimburse such
Tax Indemnitee for the cost incurred by it to a third party (including any taxation
authority), Lessee will pay to such Tax Indemnitee such sum as will, after the tax liability
has been fully satisfied, leave such Tax Indemnitee with the same amount as it would
have been entitled to receive in the absence of that liability.

5.13. Default Interest

If Lessee fails to pay on the due date (taking in account any applicable grace
period available under the Operative Documents) any amount payable under any of the
Operative Documents to which it is a party, Lessee will pay on demand from time to time
to any Indemnitee interest (both before and after judgment) at the Overdue Rate on such
amount from the due date to the day of payment in full by Lessee to such Indemnitee. All
such interest shall be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed assuming a year of 360 days.

5.14. Absolute

Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement are absolute and unconditional


irrespective of any contingency whatever including (but not limited to):

(a) any right of offset, counterclaim, recoupment, reduction, defense


or other right which either party to this Agreement may have against the other;
(b) any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, including a
requisition of the Aircraft or any prohibition or interruption of, interference with or
other restriction against Lessee’s use, operation or possession of the Aircraft;

(c) any lack or invalidity of title or any other defect in title,


airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design or
operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft for any particular use or trade, or
for registration or documentation under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or
any Total Loss in respect of or any damage to the Aircraft;

(d) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,


readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceedings by or against
Lessor or Lessee;

(e) any invalidity, unenforceability or lack of due authorization of, or


other defect in, this Agreement; or

(f) any other cause which, but for this provision, would or might
otherwise have the effect of terminating or in any way affecting any obligation of
Lessee under this Agreement.

6. Manufacturer’s and Other Warranties

6.1. Assignment

Lessor will remain entitled to the benefit of each warranty, express or implied,
and any unexpired customer and/or product support given or provided in respect of the
Aircraft, any Engine or Part by any manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer,
subcontractor or supplier. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Lessor hereby authorizes Lessee during the Term to pursue any claim
thereunder in relation to defects affecting the Aircraft, any Engine or Part, and Lessee
agrees to pursue in good faith any such claim that arises at its own cost. Lessee will notify
Lessor promptly upon becoming aware of any such claim. Lessor will provide such
assistance to Lessee in making a claim under any such warranties or customer and/ or
product support as Lessee may reasonably request, and, if requested by Lessee and at
Lessee’s expense, will pursue a claim in its own name where the relevant manufacturer,
vendor, maintenance performer, subcontractor or supplier has refused to acknowledge
Lessee’s right to pursue that claim, but subject to Lessee first ensuring that Lessor is
indemnified and secured to Lessor’s reasonable satisfaction against all losses, damages,
costs, expenses and liabilities (including fees and disbursements) that Lessor may incur in
the taking of any such actions.

6.2. Proceeds
All proceeds of any such claim as is referred to in Section 6.1 and which exceed
$50,000 will be paid directly to Lessor at the account set forth in Section 5.6(a), but if and
to the extent that such claim relates:

(a) to defects affecting the Aircraft which Lessee has rectified; or

(b) to costs incurred by Lessee in pursuing such claim (whether or not


proceeds of such claim are payable to Lessee);

and provided no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the proceeds will be promptly paid to Lessee by Lessor but, in the case of (a),
only on receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that Lessee has rectified the
relevant defect.

6.3. Parts

Except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees in a particular case, Lessee will
procure that all engines, components, furnishings or equipment provided by the
manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer, subcontractor or supplier as a replacement
for a defective Engine or Part pursuant to the terms of any warranty or customer and/or
product support arrangement comply with Section 8.13(a), are installed on the Aircraft
promptly and that title thereto vests in Owner in accordance with Section 8.17(b). On
installation those items will be deemed to be an Engine or Part, as applicable.

6.4. Agreement

Lessee acknowledges that during the Term it might contract with Manufacturers,
maintenance and overhaul agencies, subcontractors, suppliers and vendors (each an
“MRO”) to maintain, provide and service the Airframe, Engines and Parts. To the extent
any warranties or customer and/or product support relating to the Aircraft are made
available under an agreement between any Manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer,
subcontractor or supplier and Lessee, this Section 6 is subject to that agreement.
However, Lessee will:

(a) pay the proceeds of any claim thereunder that exceed $50,000 to
Lessor at the account set forth in Section 5.6(a) to be applied pursuant to
Section 6.2 and, pending such payment, will hold the claim and the proceeds in
trust for Lessor as appropriate;

(b) take all such steps as are necessary and reasonably requested by
Lessor at the end of the Term to ensure the benefit of any of those warranties or
customer and/or product support which have not expired are vested in Lessor to
the extent the same are assignable; and
(c) at Redelivery, Lessee will irrevocably assign to Lessor all of
Lessee’s rights regarding the Aircraft under any warranty (express or implied),
service policy, maintenance or product agreement provided by any MRO to the
extent that such rights are assignable and, to the extent MRO consent is required
for assignment of such rights, the Lessee will use reasonable endeavours to obtain
consent from each such MRO. After Redelivery, Lessee if requested by Lessor
and at Lessor’s expense will consult in good faith as to how Lessor may obtain
the benefit of such rights.

7. Lessor’s Covenants and Disclaimers

7.1. Quiet Enjoyment

Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, none of


Lessor, its successors and assignees, Owner, any Financing Party or any other Person
claiming by, through or on account of any of such parties will interfere with the quiet use,
possession and enjoyment of the Aircraft by Lessee. Lessor will procure that any Person
lawfully claiming through Lessor (including any relevant Financing Party) will give a
direct covenant to Lessee in similar terms to those set out in this Clause 7.1.

7.2. Reserved

7.3. Major Checks and Engine LLP Replacements Not Expected 2

Lessee and Lessor do not expect that any Major Checks or Engine LLP
Replacements shall become due during the Term. In the event that any such event
does become due, Lessee shall be obligated to perform such work or have it
performed. Lessee shall notify Lessor in advance of taking any action, and shall
not undertake to perform any such event or have it performed unless Lessee
receives Lessor’s prior written approval of the work, including, if applicable,
approval of the workscope and a proposed provider.

7.4. Registration and Filings

Lessor shall:

(a) at Lessee’s cost, take all actions reasonably requested by Lessee to


enable Lessee to perform its obligations under Section 8.10 regarding the
registration of the Aircraft with the Aviation Authority and shall maintain the
registration of the Aircraft with the Aviation Authority reflecting (so far as
permitted by Applicable Law) the interests of Owner, Lessor and Financing
Parties and not do or suffer to be done anything which might reasonably be

2 This is suggested language for a situation in which an event comes due that would normally require the repayment
of supplemental rent.
expected to adversely affect that registration (for the avoidance of doubt Lessee
shall pay the Aviation Authority directly for all registration fees and Lessor shall
not be required to pay such fees and subsequently seek reimbursement from
Lessee); and

(b) at Lessor’s cost do all acts and things (including making any filing
or registration with the Aviation Authority or any other Government Entity) as
may be required following any change in the ownership of or security given in
respect of the Aircraft in accordance with Section 14.

7.5. Refund of Security Deposit

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, as soon

Section 8.13(a).

(c) If no Event of Default has occurred which is continuing, Lessee


will be entitled to install Third Party Engines on the Airframe by way of
replacement notwithstanding Section 8.13(a), so long as:

(i) the terms of any applicable lease, conditional sale


agreement or security agreement, as the case may be, covering such Third
Party Engine will not have the effect of prejudicing the title and interest of
Owner, Lessor or any Financing Party in and to the Aircraft (including its
Engines and Parts);

(ii) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor evidence reasonably


satisfactory to Lessor of the matters set forth in clause (i) above, which may be by

or holder of any other Security Interest in any Third Party Engine installed on the
Airframe that Lessor shall not claim any title to or interest in any such Third Party
Engine as the result of such Third Party Engine being installed on the Airframe;
provided, that the agreement by Lessor set forth in this Section 8.13(d) is subject
to Lessor’s rights to take possession of the Aircraft under Section 13.2(c)(i) and/or
to require Lessee to redeliver the Aircraft under Section 13.2(c)(ii) with such
Third Party Engine installed. Lessee shall have full authority at all relevant times
to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.13(d) in respect of any engine
installed by it on the Aircraft pursuant to Section 8.13(a) or 8.13(c).

8.14. Non-Installed Engines and Parts

(a) Lessee shall ensure that any Engine or Part that is not installed on

(ii) leased or hired to Lessee pursuant to a lease or conditional


sale agreement on a long-term basis and on terms whereby Lessee has full
operational control of that aircraft or engine; or

(iii) acquired or financed by Lessee and operated by Lessee on


terms that ownership of that aircraft or engine, as the case may be, pursuant to a
lease, conditional sale agreement or Security Interest is vested in or held by any
other Person;

provided that in the case of (ii) and (iii):

(1) the terms of any such lease, conditional sale


agreement or Security Interest will not have the effect of prejudicing the title and
interest of Owner or Lessor in and to that Engine or Part or the interest of any
Financing Party in respect thereof under any Financing Security Document; and

(2) either:
(x) the lessor under such lease, the seller under
such conditional sale agreement or the secured party of such Security Interest, as
the case may be, has confirmed and acknowledged in writing (which confirmation
and acknowledgment may be contained in the lease, conditional sale agreement or
document creating the Security Interest covering that airframe or engine) to Lessor,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, that it will recognize the
respective rights, title and interest of Owner, Lessor or any Financing Party to and
in that Engine or Part and that it will not seek to exercise any rights whatever in
relation thereto; or

(y) the lease, conditional sale agreement or


document creating the Security Interest covering that airframe or engine contains
provisions which are consistent with the maintenance at all times of the respective
rights title and interest of Owner, Lessor and any Financing Party in the removed
Engine while such Engine is installed on such aircraft and in particular do not state
or require that such Engine will become the property of the owner or lessor or of
any person holding a lien over that aircraft; and

(3) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor evidence


reasonably satisfactory to Lessor of the matters set forth in clauses (1) and (2)
above, which may be by written confirmation, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor, from the applicable lessor, seller or secured party, or by
Lessee providing a copy (certified as being true, correct and complete by Lessee)
of the applicable provisions of the applicable lease, conditional sale agreement or
security agreement to the extent such disclosure is permitted by such documents.

8.15. Pooling of Engines and Parts

Lessee will not enter into nor permit any pooling agreement or arrangement in
respect of an Engine or Part without the prior written consent of Lessor except, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred which is continuing, for pooling agreements or
arrangements, with respect to Parts only, satisfying the following conditions:

(a) Lessee has entered into the pooling agreement or arrangement in


the ordinary course of its airline business;
(b) the other parties to the pooling agreement or arrangement are
reputable, solvent commercial air carriers or the manufacturers or suppliers of the
Part (or other reputable, solvent organizations whose business includes the
administration of and participation in such pooling agreements or arrangements);

(c) the Part is leased, let on hire or otherwise made available by


Lessee on terms conferring no more than a contractual right in personam against
Lessee and not a right in rem against such Part; and

(d) the pooling agreement or arrangement either provides that Lessor


(or any Financing Party designated by Lessor) will be sole loss payee in respect of
any loss or damage to the Part, or provides for Owner to acquire title to a
substitute engine or part satisfying the conditions set out in Section 11.3(a) if the
Part is destroyed.

8.16. Equipment Changes

(a) Lessee will not make any Voluntary Equipment Change without
the prior written consent of Lessor.

(b) Lessor may review Lessee’s proposed designs, plans, engineering


drawings and diagrams, and flight and maintenance manual revisions for any
proposed Equipment Change. If requested by Lessor, Lessee will furnish Lessor
(at Lessee’s expense) with such documents in final form and any other documents
required by Applicable Law as a result of an Equipment Change. All Equipment
Changes made to the Aircraft will be properly documented in the Aircraft
Documents and be fully approved by the Aviation Authority.

(c) Lessee shall not make any Voluntary Equipment Change that has
the effect of diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or airworthiness
of the Aircraft.

(d) All permanent or structural Equipment Changes, all Mandatory


Equipment Changes and all Voluntary Equipment Changes will, upon installation,
become a part of the Aircraft and the property of Owner. If no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall be entitled to remove any Voluntary
Equipment Change on or prior to Redelivery provided such Voluntary Equipment
Change can be removed from the Aircraft without diminishing or impairing the
value, utility, condition or airworthiness of the Aircraft. Lessor may also advise
Lessee in writing at the time of giving its consent under Section 8.16(a), or if
Lessee has specifically requested Lessor to provide its determination in respect of
the relevant Voluntary Equipment Change, whether or not such Voluntary
Equipment Change will be required to be removed before Redelivery. If any such
Voluntary Equipment Change is to be removed on or prior to Redelivery in
accordance with this Section 8.16(d), the Aircraft will be restored to its condition
(in respect of that Equipment Change only) prior to that Voluntary Equipment
Change, and upon such removal and restoration will become the property of
Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may not remove a Voluntary
Equipment Change without Lessor’s consent during the continuation of an Event
of Default.

8.17. Title to Engines and Parts

(a) Any Engine at any time removed from the Aircraft will remain the
property of Owner until a replacement has been made in accordance with this
Agreement and title to that replacement has passed, according to Applicable
Laws, to Owner in accordance with this Agreement free of all Security Interests
(other than Lessor Liens), whereupon title to the removed Engine will, provided
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, pass to Lessee free of Lessor
Liens. At any time when requested by Lessor (acting reasonably), Lessee will
provide evidence to Lessor’s reasonable satisfaction (including the provision, if
required, to Lessor of a legal opinion with respect to title to the Engine) that title
has so passed to Owner.

(b) Title to all Parts installed on the Aircraft, whether by way of


replacement, as the result of an Equipment Change or otherwise (except those
installed pursuant to Section 8.15) will on installation, without further act, vest in
Owner subject to this Agreement free and clear of all Security Interests. Lessee
will at its own expense take all such steps and execute, and procure the execution
of, all such instruments that are necessary to ensure that title so passes to Owner
and is subject to the Security Interests created by the Financing Security
Documents, if applicable, according to all Applicable Laws. At any time when
requested by Lessor (acting reasonably), Lessee will provide evidence to Lessor’s
reasonable satisfaction (including the provision, if required, to Lessor of a legal
opinion with respect to title to that Part) that title has so passed to Owner and is
subject to the Security Interests created by the Financing Security Documents, if
applicable.

(c) Except as referred to in Section 8.17(b), any Part at any time


removed from the Aircraft will remain the property of Owner until a replacement
has been made in accordance with this Agreement and until title to that
replacement has passed, according to Section 8.17(b) and Applicable Laws, to
Owner subject to this Agreement free of all Security Interests, whereupon title to
the removed Part will, provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, pass to
Lessee free of Lessor Liens.
8.18. Third Parties

Lessee shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to procure that no Person
having possession of the Aircraft during the Term will act in any manner inconsistent
with Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement, and that all such Persons shall comply
with those obligations as if references to “Lessee” included a separate reference to those
Persons. Subject to Lessee’s confidentiality obligations, to the extent Lessor has not
attended the relevant maintenance pursuant to Section 8.11(d), Lessee shall authorize the
release by such Persons to Lessor of all details pertaining to the maintenance and Lessee
shall, upon Lessor’s request, provide Lessor with letters to all such Persons allowing the
disclosure to Lessor of all matters relating to the Aircraft.

8.19. Non-Discrimination

(a) Lessee shall not discriminate against the Aircraft in its use,
maintenance or operation of the Aircraft compared to similar aircraft owned or
operated by Lessee, and Lessee shall service, repair, maintain and overhaul the
Aircraft so as to keep the Aircraft maintained in the same manner and with the
same care as used by Lessee with similar aircraft owned or operated by Lessee.

(b) Subject to a Wet Lease complying with the terms hereof, Lessee
shall continue to use the Aircraft in its regular commercial passenger operations
until Redelivery.

(c) Lessee further agrees that normal progressive maintenance will


continue to be performed on the Aircraft throughout the Term, and no unusual
maintenance procedures or cessation of maintenance shall occur during the one
year period prior to the Expiry Date.

8.20. Cape Town Convention

(a) In this Agreement, the Convention and the Protocol shall be read
and interpreted together as a single instrument as required by Article 6(1) of the
Convention. In this Clause 8.10 the following expressions have the respective
meanings given to them in Article I of the Protocol:

aircraft engines; aircraft object; airframe; assignment; associated rights; buyer;


contract of sale; creditor; international interest; leasing agreement; prospective
international interest; prospective sale; registry authority; sale; security agreement;
seller; title reservation agreement; State of registry.

(b) Lessor and Lessee agree that:


(i) the Aircraft shall be registered with the Aviation Authority
in Oman and a certificate of registration will be issued by the Aviation Authority;

(ii) the Airframe is an airframe and, accordingly, an aircraft


object to which this Agreement relates for the purposes of the Cape Town
Convention and is an Airbus A330 aircraft with manufacturer’s serial number 1427
and the Engines are aircraft engines and, accordingly, aircraft objects for the
purposes of the Cape Town Convention and are Rolls Royce Trent 772B-60
engines with Engine Manufacturer’s serial numbers 42155 and 42231;

(iii) the international interest of Lessor, as a creditor, in the


Airframe and each of the Engines, being the lessor under a leasing agreement of
aircraft objects shall be registered on the Delivery Date (or any other date as
mutually agreed between Lessee and Lessor) with the consent of Lessor and
Lessee, as an international interest under the Cape Town Convention and Lessee
shall maintain such registrations at all times throughout the Term;

(iv) the events which are referred to in Clause 13 as Events of


Default are events that constitute a default or otherwise give rise to the rights and
remedies specified in Articles 12 to 15 and 20 of the Consolidated Text; and

(v) Lessor shall have the remedies referred to in Articles 15(1)


and 20(1) of the Consolidated Text;

8.21. Special Provision For Air Inlet Cowl no. 2 (SN 2182)

(a) The Aircraft’s Engine air-inlet cowl no. 2 (MSN 2182) (but not the
other air-inlet cowl) is subject to an airworthiness directive (as a result of a
finding on IT 7007 10003) that requires an inspection approximately 2,800 flight
cycles after Delivery (expected to be beyond the end of the Term). The other air
inlet Cowl is not subject to such airworthiness directive because such air inlet cowl
has had a specific modification.

(b) During the Term, Lessee shall order the airworthiness directive
repair kit for air-inlet cowl no. 2 from the Manufacturer for delivery to Lessee
during the Term. Following delivery of the repair kit by the Manufacturer to
Lessee, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee the price of the kit paid by Lessee to the
Manufacturer following presentation by Lessee to Lessor of the Manufacturer’s
invoice together with evidence of payment by Lessee to the Manufacturer. Upon
such reimbursement, the repair kit shall be the property of Lessor. At Redelivery,
Lessee shall deliver the repair kit to Lessor loaded in the cargo hold of the
Aircraft. However, with Lessor’s prior consent, Lessee may install the repair kit on
the Aircraft during the Term, if air-inlet cowl no. 2 becomes unserviceable because
of the condition that led to the issuance airworthiness directive. Following
presentation by Lessee to Lessor of evidence of such installation and an invoice,
Lessor shall reimburse Lessee the reasonable labor cost incurred by Lessee to
install such repair kit.

8.22. Unserviceable Engine

(a) If, during the Term, an Engine becomes Unserviceable (as defined
below), Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor, and shall provide Lessor, together
with such notice, information in reasonable detail concerning the Unserviceable
condition. With respect to any such Unserviceable Engine, Lessor shall have the
right to perform a full video borescope inspection at Lessee’s cost. Lessor shall
notify Lessee as soon as reasonably practicable whether or not the Unserviceable
condition was primarily caused by a Lessee Risk Event (as defined below),
following which either:

(i) If Lessor notified Lessee that the Unserviceable condition


was not primarily caused by a Lessee Risk Event, Lessee shall redeliver the
Engine to Lessor forthwith in the Unserviceable condition, with all maintenance
and repair on the Engine required under the terms of the Lease before the
occurrence of the Unserviceability event having been timely performed, with all
required Aircraft Documents for such Engine. The leasing of the Engine shall be
deemed to be terminated upon redelivery of the Engine to Lessor and execution by
Lessor of a Redelivery Certificate covering such Engine only, and no further
Rent shall be payable by Lessee in respect of the Engine for the period following
such redelivery provided that the Engine is redelivered to Lessor as soon as
possible after receipt by Lessee of notice from Lessor that the Unserviceable
condition was not caused by a Lessee Risk Event.

(ii) If Lessor notifies Lessee that the Unserviceability was


primarily caused by a Lessee Risk Event, Lessee shall either:

(1) correct such condition at Lessee’s expense, or

(2) redeliver the Engine at the Redelivery Location in


such condition and pay Lessor the Unserviceability Compensation. The leasing of
the Engine in circumstances of a Lessee Risk Event shall be deemed to be
terminated upon the redelivery of the unrepaired Engine at the Redelivery
Location by Lessee whereupon the Redelivery Certificate shall be duly
executed and
delivered to Lessee and no further Basic Rent or Supplemental
Rent shall be payable by Lessee for such Engine for the period
following such redelivery. Lessee shall subsequently promptly (and
in any event before the end of the Term) pay Lessor the
Unserviceability Compensation.

“Unserviceable” and “Unserviceability” means a condition that renders


the Engine (or any module thereof) either:

(i) ineligible to receive an EASA or PACA-DGCAR (Oman)


as applicable Form One tag,

(ii) in need of off-wing repair, or

(iii) beyond serviceable limits.

“Lessee Risk Event” means either:

(i) foreign object ingestion,

(ii) an accident (as defined by ICAO Annex 13),

(iii) an act or omission of Lessee or its employees or agents that


constitutes negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or

(iv) any failure to perform (whether or not intentional) in


accordance with PACA-DGCAR (Oman) or PACA-DGCAR and EASA,
as and when applicable, approved documentation or Manufacturer
recommendations (including storage, handling, shipment, inspection,
installation, line maintenance, testing and flight operations).

“Unserviceability Compensation” means as of any date of determination


a payment equal to the cost determined by the Lessor of correcting the
Unserviceable condition; provided however, that if the Engine is beyond
economic repair then the Unserviceability Compensation shall be equal to:

(i) the Agreed Value for the applicable Engine as set forth in
Schedule 5;

(ii) minus (ii) the pro rata portion, as set forth in Schedule 5,
for the applicable Engine of the aggregate Basic Rent paid by Lessee to Lessor
during the Term on or before such date.

9. Insurance

9.1. Insurances
Lessee will maintain in full force and effect during the Term insurances in respect
of the Aircraft in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor (the
“Insurances”) through such brokers and with such insurers and having such deductibles
and being subject to such exclusions as are usual and customary in the London or New
York or other leading international aviation insurance marketplace for air carriers
operating similar equipment in similar operations and who are similarly situated with
Lessee. The Insurances will be effected either:

(a) on a direct basis with insurers of recognized standing who


normally participate in aviation insurances in the leading international insurance
markets and led by reputable underwriters who normally participate in aviation
insurances, or

(b) with a single insurer or group of insurers who do not retain the
risk, but effect substantial reinsurance in the leading international insurance
markets and through reinsurance brokers of recognized standing who normally
participate in aviation insurances for a percentage not less than 100% of the risks
insured.

9.2. Requirements

Lessor’s current requirements as to Insurances are as specified in this Section 9


and in Schedule 4. Except for the amount of the Agreed Value, the Minimum Liability
Coverage and the deductible under Lessee’s hull insurance policies, Lessor may from
time to time stipulate such other requirements for the Insurances as Lessor reasonably
considers necessary to ensure that the scope and level of cover is maintained in
accordance with the then prevailing industry practice in relation to aircraft of the same type
as the Aircraft and in relation to operators operating similar equipment in similar
operations and who are similarly situated with Lessee. In the event that it proposes any
such stipulation, Lessor shall notify Lessee accordingly and Lessor and/or its brokers will
then consult in good faith with Lessee and Lessee’s brokers with regard to such proposed
stipulation for a period of no more than fourteen (14) days. Following the consultation, if
Lessor is satisfied that the stipulation should be made, Lessee shall then comply with the
stipulated requirements.

9.3. Insurance Covenants

Lessee shall:

(a) ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the Aircraft,


any Engine or any Part that may from time to time be imposed by the laws of the
State of Registration or any jurisdiction to, from or over which the Aircraft may
be flown, in so far as they affect or concern the operation of the Aircraft, are
complied with and, in particular, those requirements compliance with which is
necessary to ensure that:

(i) the Aircraft does not become subject to detention or


forfeiture;

(ii) the Insurances remain valid and in full force and effect; and

(iii) the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances and the


Aircraft or any Part are not thereby prejudiced;

(b) not use, cause or permit the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part to be
used for any purpose or in any manner not covered by the Insurances or outside
any geographical limit imposed by the Insurances;

(c) comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the
Insurances and not do, consent or agree to any act or omission that:

(i) invalidates or may reasonably be expected to invalidate the


Insurances;

(ii) renders or may reasonably be expected to render void or


voidable the whole or any part of any of the Insurances; or

(iii) brings any particular liability within the scope of an


exclusion or exception to the Insurances;

(d) not take out without the prior written approval of Lessor any
insurance in respect of the Aircraft other than those of the type required under this
Agreement unless relating solely to hull total loss, business interruption, engine
break-down, profit commission and deductible risk;

(e) provide to Lessor a certificate of insurance (and where applicable,


a certificate of reinsurance) complying with the conditions of the AVN67B
endorsement and a broker’s letter of undertaking;

(f) on request, provide to Lessor evidence that the Insurance


premiums have been paid;

(g) not make any modification or alteration to the Insurances material


and adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees;

(h) be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; and

(i) provide any other insurance related information, or assistance, in


respect of the Insurances as Lessor may reasonably request.
9.4. Renewal of Insurances

Lessee shall commence renewal procedures at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of any of the Insurances and provide to Lessor:

(a) if requested by Lessor, a written status report of renewal


negotiations fourteen (14) days prior to each expiration date;

(b) confirmation of completion of renewal prior to each expiration


date; and

(c) a certificate of insurance (and where applicable certificate of


reinsurance) and broker’s letter of undertaking substantially in the form delivered
to Lessor on the Delivery Date or if different such other form as is commonly
provided in the leading international aviation insurance market, detailing the
coverage and confirming the insurers’ agreement to the specified insurance
requirements of this Agreement within seven (7) days after each renewal date.

9.5. Failure to Insure

If Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in compliance with this Agreement:

(a) Lessee shall immediately ground the Aircraft and shall keep it
grounded until such time as the Insurances shall again be in full force and effect;

(b) Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the non-compliance of


the Insurances with the requirements of this Agreement, and Lessee shall provide
Lessor with full details of all steps that Lessee is taking or proposes to take in
order to remedy such non-compliance;

(c) Each of the Indemnitees will be entitled but not obligated (without
prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under this Agreement):

(i) to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain


insurances satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy Lessee’s failure in such manner
(including to effect and maintain an “owner’s interest” policy) as it considers
appropriate, and any sums so expended by it will become immediately due and
payable by Lessee to Lessor on demand (such demand being made as soon as
reasonably practicable following the incurring of such expenditure), together with
interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date of expenditure by it up to the
date of reimbursement by Lessee (before and after any judgment); and
(ii) at any time while such failure is continuing to require the
Aircraft to remain at any airport or to proceed to and remain at any airport
designated by it until the failure is remedied to its reasonable satisfaction.

9.6. Continuing Insurance for Indemnity

(a) Lessee shall effect and maintain insurance after a Transfer or the
Expiry Date with respect to its liability under the indemnities in Section 10 for
two years, or until the next scheduled C-Check (or its equivalent), whichever is
earlier, providing for each Indemnitee to be named as an additional insured
pursuant to the provisions, where applicable, of the airline finance/lease contract
Endorsement AVN99.

(b) Lessee’s obligation under this Section 9.6 shall not be affected by
Lessee ceasing to be lessee of the Aircraft or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to
have any interest in respect of the Aircraft, and upon a Transfer pursuant to
Section 14.2, Lessee shall provide for each such Indemnitee to be named as an
additional insured pursuant to the provisions, where applicable, of the airline
finance/lease contract Endorsement AVN99 for two years, or until the next
scheduled C-Check (or its equivalent), whichever is earlier.

9.7. Application of Insurance Proceeds

As between Lessor and Lessee, and except to the extent otherwise required
pursuant to the provisions of the airline finance/lease contract Endorsements AVN67B
and AVN67B (Hull War) adopted by the Lloyd’s Aviation Underwriter’s Association (or
any successor endorsements), if applicable:

(a) All insurance payments, up to the Agreed Value, received as the


result of a Total Loss occurring during the Term will be paid to Lessor (unless or
until Lessor notifies Lessee that said payments should be made to a specified
Financing Party).

(b) All insurance proceeds in respect of any damage or loss to the


Aircraft, any Engine or any Part occurring during the Term not constituting a
Total Loss and involving insurance proceeds in excess of the Damage Notification
Threshold will be paid to Lessor (unless or until Lessor notifies Lessee that said
payments should be made to a specified Financing Party) such payment to be
applied in payment to the Agreed Maintenance Performer or to reimburse Lessee
(at Lessee’s direction) for repairs or replacement property upon Lessor being
reasonably satisfied that the repairs or replacement have been or will be effected
in accordance with this Agreement. Insurance proceeds in amounts less than the
Damage Notification Threshold may be paid by the insurer directly to Lessee.
Any balance remaining shall be paid to or may be retained by Lessee.
(c) All insurance proceeds in respect of third party liability will be
paid to the relevant third party.

(d) Notwithstanding Sections 9.7(a) and (b), if at the time of the


payment of any such insurance proceeds a Material Default or an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, all such proceeds will be paid to or retained by
Lessor (unless or until Lessor notifies Lessee that said payments should be made
to a Financing Party) to be applied toward payment of any amounts that may be or
become payable by Lessee in such order as Lessor sees fit or as Lessor may elect.
In the event that Lessee remedies any such Material Default or Event of Default to
the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor or Lessor waives any such Material Default
or Event of Default, then Lessor shall procure that all such insurance proceeds
then held by Lessor or any Financing Party, as the case may be, in excess of the
amounts (if any) applied by Lessor or any Financing Party, as the case may be, in
accordance with this Section 9.7(d) shall be paid promptly to Lessee.

9.8. Form LSW555D Exclusions

In this Section 9.8, the term “Uninsured Risks” shall mean the matters set out in
the exclusions to form LSW555D (or a ny successor provision approved by Lessor) for
chemical or biological weapons, so called “dirty bombs” and electromagnetic pulse
weapons. Lessee undertakes that if cover in respect of the Uninsured Risks is, or
becomes, available in the London, New York or other leading international aviation
insurance markets at commercially reasonable rates (having reference to the extent to
which such cover is commonly taken by air carriers operating similar equipment in
similar operations and who are similarly situated with Lessee) it shall, if reasonably
requested by Lessor, obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained,
insurance cover for the Uninsured Risks to the extent available and customarily obtained
and maintained by air carriers operating similar equipment in similar operations and who
are similarly situated with Lessee in such markets.

10. Indemnity

10.1. General

(a) Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of the
Indemnitees for, from and against any and all claims, proceedings, losses,
liabilities, suits, judgments, costs, expenses, penalties or fines (each a “Claim”)
regardless of when the same is made or incurred, whether during or after the
Term:

(i) that may at any time be suffered or incurred directly or


indirectly as a result of or connected with possession, repossession, delivery,
performance, management, registration, deregistration, control,
maintenance, condition, service, repair, overhaul, leasing, subleasing by
Lessee, use, operation or redelivery of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part
(either in the air or on the ground) whether or not the Claim may be
attributable to any defect in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or to its
design, testing, use or otherwise, and regardless of when the same arises
(whether during or after termination of the leasing of the Aircraft under
this Agreement) or whether it arises out of or is attributable to any act or
omission, negligent or otherwise, of any Indemnitee;

(ii) that arise out of any act or omission that invalidates or that
renders voidable any of the Insurances; or

(iii) that may at any time be suffered or incurred as a


consequence of any design, article or material in the Aircraft, any Engine or any
Part or its operation or use constituting an infringement of patent, copyright,
trademark, design or other proprietary right or a breach of any obligation of
confidentiality owed to any Person.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1(a), Lessee shall not


have to indemnify any Indemnitee for any Claim to the extent that:

(i) it arises as a result of the wilful misconduct or gross


negligence of any Indemnitee;

(ii) it arises directly as a result of a breach by an Indemnitee of


its express obligations under this Agreement or any other Operative Document and
including any breach of a quiet enjoyment covenant or as a result of a
representation or warranty given by Lessor in this Agreement not being true and
correct at the date when, or when deemed to have been, given or made;

(iii) it represents a Tax or loss of Tax benefits (Lessee’s


liabilities for which, including exclusions, are set out in Sections 5.7, 5.8,
5.9 and 5.11) or any Claim for currency indemnification (Lessee’s liability
for which is set out in Clause 16.4);

(iv) it constitutes a cost or expense that is required to be borne


by such Indemnitee in accordance with another provision of this Agreement or any
other Operative Document;

(v) it is attributable to an event occurring before Delivery or


after the Term unless the Claim results from or arises out of an act or omission by
Lessee, or any circumstance existing, during the Term; or
(vi) it is actually reimbursed to any Indemnitee pursuant to any
other provision of the Operative Documents.

10.2. Duration

The indemnities contained in this Agreement will survive and continue in full
force after the Expiry Date.

11. Events of Loss

11.1. Total Loss Before Delivery

If a Total Loss occurs before Delivery, this Agreement will immediately terminate
and neither party will have any further obligation or liability under this Agreement except
as expressly stated herein, including pursuant to Section 7.5.

11.2. Total Loss After Delivery

(a) If a Total Loss occurs after Delivery, Lessee will pay the Agreed
Value to Lessor (or any Financing Party designated by Lessor) on the earlier of:

(i) three (3) Business Days following the date of receipt by


Lessee of the insurance proceeds payable as a result of the Total Loss, and

(ii) the 90th day after the Total Loss Date (the “Settlement
Date”),

in either case unless the Aircraft is restored to Lessor or Lessee within that period
(or, in the case of a Total Loss coming within paragraph (c) of the definition of
Total Loss and involving the loss of Owner’s title to the Aircraft, if both the
Aircraft and Owner’s title thereto are restored to Owner or, in the case of the
Aircraft, to Lessee).

(b) The receipt by Lessor or any Financing Party (on behalf of Lessor)
of the insurance proceeds in respect of the Total Loss on or prior to the Settlement
Date shall discharge Lessee from its obligation to pay the Agreed Value to Lessor
pursuant to this Section 11.2, provided such proceeds are not less than the Agreed
Value. In the event that the insurance proceeds are paid initially to Lessee and not
to Lessor or any Financing Party designated by Lessor, they may be retained by
Lessee if Lessee shall have paid the Agreed Value to Lessor or any Financing
Party (on behalf of Lessor); otherwise Lessee shall pay the Agreed Value to
Lessor or any Financing Party (on behalf of Lessor) not later than three (3)
Business Days following receipt by Lessee of such proceeds. In the event that
Lessee pays the Agreed Value to Lessor or any Financing Party (on behalf of
Lessor) in accordance with this Section 11.2 and provided no Event of Default is
continuing, Lessor shall promptly assign to Lessee its rights and procure the
reassignment of any rights of any Financing Party in each case under or in
connection with the Insurances to receive the insurance proceeds in respect of the
Total Loss to the extent that such proceeds shall not have been paid to Lessee.

(c) Subject to the rights of any insurers or other third parties, upon
irrevocable payment in full to Lessor or any Financing Party (on behalf of Lessor)
of the Agreed Value and all other amounts that may be or become payable to
Lessor under the Operative Documents to which Lessee is a party, Lessor shall
without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens), and
without further act, be deemed to have transferred to Lessee all of Owner’s rights
to any Engines or Parts not installed when the Total Loss occurred, all on an “as-is
where is” basis, and shall, at Lessee’s expense, execute and deliver such bills of
sale and other documents and instruments as Lessee may reasonably request to
evidence the transfer and the vesting of Owner’s rights in such Engines and Parts in
Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Owner and any Lessor Liens.

11.3. Engine Loss

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Engine Loss in circumstances in which


there has not also occurred a Total Loss (including, for the avoidance of doubt, at
a time when the Engine is not installed on the Airframe), Lessee shall give Lessor
written notice promptly upon becoming aware of the same and shall, within
ninety (90) days after the Engine Loss Date, convey or cause to be conveyed to
Owner, as replacement for such Engine, title to a replacement engine that is in the
same or better operating condition and remaining useful life (including with
respect to Hours and Cycles accumulated since the last Engine Performance
Restoration and on life limited parts), and has the same or greater value and
utility, as the lost Engine (assuming the lost Engine was, immediately before the
Engine Loss, in the condition required by this Agreement) and that complies with
the conditions set out in Section 8.13(a).

(b) Lessee will at its own expense take all such steps and execute, and
procure the execution of, a full warranty bill of sale covering such replacement
engine, a supplement to this Agreement adding such replacement engine to the
Aircraft and all such other agreements and instruments that are necessary to
ensure that title to such Engine passes to Owner and such replacement engine
becomes an “Engine”, all according to Applicable Laws. At any time when
requested by Lessor, Lessee will provide evidence to Lessor’s satisfaction
(including the provision, if required, to Lessor of one of more legal opinions) that
title has so passed to Owner (including providing back-to-birth bills of sale).

(c) Upon compliance with the foregoing title transfer provisions, the
leasing of the replaced Engine that suffered the Engine Loss shall cease and title
to such replaced Engine shall (subject to any salvage rights of insurers) vest in
Lessee free of Lessor Liens. If Lessor or any Financing Party subsequently
receives any insurance proceeds relating to such Engine Loss, Lessor shall
promptly remit such proceeds, or cause such proceeds to be remitted, to Lessee.

(d) No Engine Loss with respect to any Engine that is replaced in


accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3 shall result in any decrease in
Basic Rent or the Agreed Value.

11.4. Damage or Incident Not Constituting a Total Loss

Following the occurrence of any damage to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part
that does not constitute a Total Loss or an Engine Loss and where the potential cost of
repair may reasonably be expected to exceed the Damage Notification Threshold, Lessee
shall take the following actions:

(a) Lessee shall consult with Lessor with respect to the


accomplishment of repairs;

(b) Lessee shall share the repair workscope or shall share the
Manufacturer approval with the Lessor in connection with any such repairs.

11.5. Requisition

During any requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part that does
not constitute a Total Loss:

(a) the Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Agreement
will not be suspended or abated either in whole or in part, and Lessee will not be
released from any of its other obligations under this Agreement (other than
operational obligations with which Lessee is unable to comply solely by virtue of
the requisition);

(b) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,


Lessee will be entitled to any compensation payable by the requisitioning authority
in respect of the Term;

(c) if the Aircraft is under requisition for use or hire at the end of the
Term, Lessee will, as soon as practicable after the end of any such requisition
(with the Term being extended if and to the extent that the period of requisition
continues beyond the Scheduled Expiry Date), cause the Aircraft to be put into the
Redelivery Condition required by this Agreement; and

(d) Lessor will be entitled to all compensation payable by the


requisitioning authority in respect of any change in the structure, state or
condition of the Aircraft arising during the period of requisition, and Lessor will
apply such compensation in reimbursing Lessee for the cost of complying with its
obligations under this Agreement in respect of any such change; provided, that, if
any Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor
may apply the compensation in or towards settlement of any amounts owing by
Lessee under this Agreement.

12. Redelivery of
Aircraft
(a) On the Expiry Date or earlier termination of the leasing of the
Aircraft (or Engine under the terms of Section 8.22) under this Agreement, Lessee
shall, unless a Total Loss has occurred and except as provided in Section 8.22, at
its expense, return and redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor at the Redelivery Location,
in Redelivery Condition, in accordance with the procedures and in the condition
described in Schedule 3 free and clear of all Security Interests including Permitted
Liens (other than Lessor Liens).

(b) If Lessee fails to redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor on the Expiry


Date in the Redelivery Condition pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then
any or all of the following will occur:

(i) the Term will continue and Lessee’s obligations under this
Agreement will continue in full force and during such continued use, Basic Rent
shall continue to be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand made by Lessor from time
to time at the rate of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Basic Rent
for each day until the Aircraft is actually delivered to Lessor in the required
condition, and all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force
and effect;

(ii) Lessor may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to


accept the redelivery of the Aircraft prior to the Aircraft being put in the
Redelivery Condition and thereafter have any such non-conformance with the
Redelivery corrected at such time as Lessor may deem appropriate (but within
ninety (90) days following the redelivery of the Aircraft) and at commercial rates
then charged by the Person selected as an Agreed Maintenance Provider by Lessor
to perform such correction. Any direct expenses incurred by Lessor for such
correction will be payable by Lessee within thirty (30) days following the
submission of a written statement by Lessor to Lessee, identifying the items
corrected, setting forth the expense of such corrections and attaching an itemized
invoice of such costs. Lessee’s obligation to pay such amounts will survive the
Expiry Date.

(c) At Lessor’s option, Lessee shall, following redelivery of the


Aircraft in compliance with the terms hereof, ferry the Aircraft, at Lessor’s cost
for fuel, crew and insurance costs incurred by Lessee (and otherwise at Lessee’s
risk and expense), to a location selected by Lessor.

Applicable Law):

(a) Lessor may at its option accept such repudiation by Lessee of its
obligations under this Agreement and by notice to Lessee with immediate effect
terminate the leasing of the Aircraft (but without prejudice to the continuing
obligations of Lessee under this Agreement), whereupon all rights of Lessee under
this Agreement shall cease; and/or

(b) Lessor may at its option proceed by appropriate court action or


actions to enforce performance of this Agreement or to recover damages for the
breach of this Agreement; and/or

(c) Lessor may at its option either:

(i) take possession of the Aircraft, for which purpose Lessor


may enter any premises belonging to, occupied by or under the control of Lessee
(for which purpose Lessee hereby grants to Lessor an irrevocable
license to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) where the Aircraft may
be located, or cause the Aircraft to be redelivered to Lessor at the
Redelivery Location (or such other location as Lessor may require), and
Lessor is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, to direct pilots of Lessee or other pilots to
fly the Aircraft to that airport and will have all the powers and
authorizations necessary for taking such action; or

(ii) by serving notice, require Lessee to redeliver the Aircraft to


Lessor at the Redelivery Location (or such other location as Lessor may require) in
the condition required by Section 12 and Schedule 3; and/or

necessary to enable the Aircraft to be redelivered to Lessor in accordance with
this Agreement.

13.3. Default Payments

If an Event of Default occurs and for so long as it is continuing, Lessee will

liability that Lessor may sustain or incur directly or indirectly as a result, including:

(a) all unpaid Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and Additional Rent then
due and unpaid;

(b) any losses suffered by Lessor because of Lessor’s inability to place


the Aircraft on lease with another lessee on terms as favorable to Lessor as this
Agreement; and

(c) any loss, cost, expense or liability sustained or incurred by Lessor


owing to Lessee’s failure to redeliver the Aircraft on the date, at the place and in
the condition required by this Agreement (other than any loss, premium, penalty
or expense that may be incurred in repaying funds raised to finance the Aircraft or
in unwinding any swap, forward interest rate agreement or other financial
instrument relating in whole or in part to Lessor’s financing of the Aircraft).

14. Assignment, Transfer and Financing


14.1. No Assignment by Lessee

Lessee shall not assign any of its right, title, interests, duties, obligations or
liabilities in, to or under the Operative Documents, or create or permit to exist any
Security Interest (other than Permitted Liens which Lessee shall discharge prior to the
end of the Term) over any of its rights under the Operative Documents, and any such
purported assignment or grant of a Security Interest shall be void ab initio and of no force
or effect. Without limiting the foregoing, if any assignment prohibited under the
foregoing sentence shall be valid by operation of any non-waivable provision of
Applicable Law, Lessee shall nevertheless remain fully liable for the payment and
performance of all of Lessee’s obligations to be paid and performed hereunder as fully
and to the same extent as if such assignment had not been effected, without prejudice to
the obligations of such assignee.

14.2. Lessor Assignment

Lessor may sell, assign or transfer all or any of its rights under the Operative
Documents and in the Aircraft (a “Transfer”) and Lessor will, other than in the case of an
assignment for security purposes, have no further obligation under the Operative
Documents in respect of the period following a Transfer but, notwithstanding any
Transfer, will remain entitled to the benefit of each indemnity under and in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

(a) In connection with any Transfer, the following conditions shall


apply:

(i) Lessor shall give Lessee prior written notice of such


Transfer, specifying the name and address of the proposed purchaser, assignee or
transferee (the “Transferee”);

(ii) the Transferee will have full corporate power and authority
to enter into and perform the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the
part of “Lessor”; and

(iii) on the Transfer date, Lessor and the Transferee shall enter
into an agreement or agreements in which the Transferee confirms that it shall be
deemed a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the terms of, and
to undertake all of the obligations of, Lessor contained in this Agreement arising on
or after the time of the Transfer.

(b) If the Transfer is only of title to the Aircraft to a new Owner or a


security assignment to a Finance Party, in either case without a change to the
identity of the Lessor, the preceding conditions will not apply.
(c) Upon any Transfer by Lessor (other than in the case of an
assignment for security purposes or title transfer only), the Transferee shall be
deemed Lessor for all purposes of this Agreement, each reference in this
Agreement to “Lessor” shall thereafter be deemed for all purposes to refer to the
Transferee, and the transferor shall be relieved of all obligations of “Lessor”
under this Agreement arising after the time of such Transfer.

(d) Upon compliance by Lessor and a Transferee with the terms and
conditions of Section 14.2(a), Lessee shall at the time of Transfer:

(i) execute and deliver to Lessor and to such Transferee an

under this Agreement to such Transferee;

(ii) execute and deliver to Lessor or such Transferee, as


appropriate, such documents as may be reasonably requested to reflect the interests
of such Transferee in the Aircraft and the Operative Documents in substantially
the form and substance of the Operative Documents executed on or prior to the
Delivery Date (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to
time);

(iii) cause to be delivered to Lessor and such Transferee


certificates of insurance and broker’s letters of undertaking substantially in the
form delivered to Lessor on the Delivery Date, detailing the coverage and

Agreement and listing Lessor and Transferee as additional insureds;

(iv) deliver to Lessor and such Transferee information on the


location of the Airframe and Engines at all times requested by Lessor in order to
permit the Transfer to take place at a time and on a date so as to eliminate or
minimize any Taxes applicable to the Transfer; and

(v) such other documents as Lessor or such Transferee may


reasonably request no later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of
Transfer.

14.3. Financing Parties; Grants of Security Interests

(a) On or before the Delivery Date, and from time to time thereafter,
Lessor shall advise Lessee in writing of any Financing Parties, and of any
Financing Documents relevant to such Financing Parties’ status as Additional
Insureds and of any Financing Security Documents providing to any Financing
Parties a Security Interest in the Aircraft or Owner’s or Lessor’s right, title and
interest in any Operative Documents. On the Delivery Date, pursuant to Section
3.1(c), Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor the Notice and
Acknowledgment.

(b) Each of Owner and Lessor shall be entitled at any time after
Delivery to grant a Security Interest in the Aircraft or its right, title and interest in
any Operative Document in replacement of or with a priority senior, equal or

Lessor, as loss payees.

14.4. Sale and Leaseback by Lessor

In addition to the Transfers and grants of Security Interests permitted by


Sections 14.2 and 14.3, Lessor shall be entitled to transfer its right, title and interests in and
to the Aircraft to any Person and lease the Aircraft from such Person (a “Head Lessor”),
and in such event Lessor shall retain its rights and obligations as “Lessor” under this
Agreement. In the event of such a sale and lease-back by Lessor, (a) Lessor shall be
entitled to assign its rights in this Agreement to such Head Lessor as security for its
obligations under the head lease, (c) the Head Lessor shall be entitled to grant to one or
more purchase money lenders, or to an indenture trustee on behalf of such lenders, a
Security Interest covering the Aircraft and the Operative Documents, (d) Lessee shall
execute and deliver to Lessor, such Head Lessor and such secured parties, as appropriate,
the documents specified in Sections 14.2(c) and 14.3(b) above, and Lessee shall
cooperate with Lessor to make such other changes to the Operative Documents as Lessor
may reasonably request, so long as such changes do not increase Lessee’s obligations or
diminish Lessee’s rights under the Operative Documents.

14.5. Lessee Further Assurances

Lessee and Lessor further acknowledge and agree that any Transferee shall in turn
have the rights of, and be subject to the conditions to, transfer and grants of Security
Interests set forth above in this Section 14. Lessee will cooperate with any transaction by
Lessor described in this Section 14.

14.6. Servicer

Pursuant to servicing arrangements between Lessor and Servicer, Servicer shall,


inter alia, be able to act as Lessor’s servicing agent for matters related to this Agreement
and Lessor may without the consent of Lessee delegate all or part of its rights and
obligations to the Servicer. Subject to any notice from Lessor to the contrary, Lessee may
communicate with, and respond to any demands, requests or other communications made
in accordance with this Agreement by Servicer on behalf of Lessor in respect of matters
relating to this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely on any notice or other
communication from Servicer as if such notice or communication were given by Lessor
without further inquiry.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

15.1. Governing Law

THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NON-CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS


ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN
ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, ENGLISH LAW INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION,
VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

15.2. Reserved

15.3. The parties agree that the courts of England are to have jurisdiction to
settle any disputes (including claims for set-off and counterclaims) which may arise in
connection with the legal relationships established by this Agreement or otherwise arising
in connection with this Agreement including any claim under the Cape Town Convention.

15.4. Lessee irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue or forum
non conveniens, lis alibi pendens or similar grounds.

15.5. Clause 15.3 is for the benefit of the Lessor only. As a result, and
notwithstanding Clause 15.3, the Lessor may take proceedings relating to disputes under
this Agreement or a remedy under the Cape Town Convention in any other courts with
jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Lessor may take concurrent proceedings in
any number of jurisdictions.

15.6. Lessee shall at all times maintain an agent for service of process in
England. Such agent shall be Lessee’s Process Agent. Any claim form, judgement or
other notice of legal process shall be sufficiently served on Lessee if delivered to its agent
specified above at its address for the time being. Each party undertakes not to revoke the
authority of its agent specified above and, if for any reason such agent no longer serves as
its agent to receive service of process, that party shall promptly appoint another such agent
and advise the other party thereof. If Lessee fails to appoint another such agent after
being required by Lessor so to do, Lessor is irrevocably authorised to appoint any person
(including itself), on such person’s standard or usual terms for acceptance of appointment
(if any), as Lessee’s agent.

15.7. In the event that Lessor brings any proceedings before the courts of Oman,
Lessee hereby and irrevocably waives any right or claim that it may have to defend, argue
or protest those proceedings on the grounds that those proceedings, or any of Lessee’s
obligations under the Operative Documents, or any judgment which Lessor may have
obtained against Lessee or the Aircraft in any other jurisdiction, are contrary to the public
policy of Oman to the extent permissible under Applicable Law.

16. Miscellaneous

16.1. Waivers, Remedies Cumulative

The rights of Lessor or Lessee under this Agreement may be exercised as often as
necessary, are cumulative and not exclusive of that party’s rights under any law and may
be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any
such right is not a waiver of that right.

16.2. Delegation

Lessor may delegate to any Person or Persons all or any of the trusts, powers or
discretions vested in it by this Agreement and any such delegation may be made upon
such terms and conditions and subject to such regulations (including power to sub-
delegate) as Lessor in its absolute discretion thinks fit. Notwithstanding any such
delegation (and the delegation pursuant to Clause 14.7), Lessor remains responsible and
liable to Lessee for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

16.3. Appropriation

During the occurrence and continuance of a Default by Lessee under


Section 13.1(a)(i) or (ii), any payments, other than payments of Security Deposit,
received by Lessor from Lessee may be applied by Lessor in such proportions and order
and generally in such manner as Lessor may determine.

16.4. Currency Indemnity

(a) If Lessor receives an amount in respect of the Lessee’s liability


under this Agreement or if such liability is converted into a claim, proof,
judgment or order in a currency other than the currency (the “contractual
currency”) in which the amount is expressed to be payable under this Agreement:
(i) Lessee will indemnify Lessor, as an independent obligation,
against any loss arising out of or as a result of such conversion;

(ii) if the amount received by Lessor, when converted into the


contractual currency (at the market rate at which Lessor is able on the relevant date
to purchase the contractual currency in New York City with that other currency) is
less than the amount owed in the contractual currency, Lessee will, forthwith on
demand, pay to Lessor an amount in the contractual currency equal to the deficit;
and

(iii) Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand any exchange costs


and Taxes payable in connection with the conversion.

(b) Lessee waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any

Part 2 Aircraft Documents

(A definitive list of the Aircraft Documents will be attached to the Certificate of Technical
Acceptance and Redelivery Certificate)

Lessee shall participate in Lessor’s redelivery inspection of the manuals and technical records
from the Prior Operator. Lessee’s rights and obligations in respect of such inspection shall
include (a) verifying that the Prior Operator has redelivered the manuals and technical records
listed in [Annex A to this Schedule 1] and (b) confirming whether such manuals and technical
records are otherwise satisfactory to Lessee, based on the Lessee Requirements listed in Annex B
to this Schedule 1. To the extent that such manuals and technical records are not satisfactory to
Lessee, so long as the applicable discrepancies do not affect the airworthiness of the Aircraft (as
evidenced by the issuance of the Export Certificate of Airworthiness by the Singapore CAA),
Lessee and Lessor, each acting reasonably, shall agree on the resolution of such discrepancies
through waiver of redelivery requirements to be more particularly described in Annex 2 of the
Certificate of Technical Acceptance.
Schedule 2 Technical Acceptance and Delivery Condition

On the Technical Acceptance Date, the Aircraft shall be tendered by Lessor to Lessee in
an “as-is, where-is” condition according to the conditions included herein. The actual
maintenance status at Technical Acceptance will be subject to the additional (i) flight hours and
flight cycles accumulated and (ii) calendar time elapsed, and (iii) maintenance accomplished, up
to the Technical Acceptance Date.

The Delivery Procedure shall be as provided in Part A below. The Delivery Conditions
shall be as provided in Part B below.
Part A
Delivery Procedure
Inspections
Before the scheduled Delivery Date, the Lessee and the Lessor will work together in good
faith with the Prior Operator to allow the Lessee to perform the following inspection
procedures in order to confirm the Aircraft complies with the Delivery Condition set forth
in Part B:
(a) a ramp inspection of the Aircraft; and
(b) a review of the Aircraft Documents; and
Lessee will bear the cost of its personnel, representatives and agents at all times. For the
avoidance of doubt, Delivery of the Aircraft shall be on an “as is, where is basis,”
and Lessor does not represent, warrant or covenant that the Aircraft complies with
the Delivery Conditions. Lessee’s signing the Certificate of Technical Acceptance
for the Aircraft constitutes Lessee’s agreement that the Aircraft complies at
Delivery with the Delivery Conditions, except as may be noted in such certificate.

Airworthiness Directives issued by the Singapore CAA, which fall due within the next
eighteen (18) months or the number of Flight Hours commensurate with eighteen (18)
months of A330 operation by the Prior Operator during the term of the Prior Lease
(the "Required Flight Hour Remaining Life") or the number of Cycles
commensurate with eighteen (18) months of A330 operation by the Prior Operator
during the term of the Prior Lease (the “Required Flight Cycle Remaining Life”)
after the Delivery Date. Such Airworthiness Directives will have been performed
on a terminating basis (if the relevant modification kits are available).
(f) the Aircraft shall be delivered with a valid export certificate of airworthiness from
the Singapore CAA (passenger transport category) without exception or derogation
save for exceptions and derogations granted due to conflicts with EASA

any Engine or Part;

(b) include a severability of interest clause;

(c) contain a provision confirming that the policy is primary without


right of contribution and that the liability of the insurers will not be affected by any
other insurance of which any Indemnitee or Lessee have the benefit; and

(d) accept and insure the indemnity provisions of this Agreement to the
extent of the risks covered by the relevant policy or policies.

4 All Insurances specified in Sections 1(a) through (d) above will:

(a) be in accordance with normal industry practice of air carriers


operating similar equipment in similar operations and who are similarly situated
with Lessee;

(b) provide coverage on a worldwide basis subject to those territorial


exclusions which are usual and customary for carriers similarly situated with
Lessee in the case of War Risks and Allied Perils coverage which are advised to
and approved by Lessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld;

(c) acknowledge that the insurers are aware that the Aircraft is owned by
Owner and is subject to this Agreement;

(d) provide that, in relation to the interests of each of the additional


insureds, the Insurances will not be invalidated by any act or omission of the
Insured which results in a breach of any terms, conditions or warranty of the
policies;

(e) provide that the Insurers will waive any rights of recourse and/or

Schedule 4-2
Operating Lease Agreement (MSN
1957)
subrogation against each additional insured to the same extent that Lessee has
waived or has no rights of recovery against such additional insured in the Lease;

Schedule 4-3
Operating Lease Agreement (MSN
1957)
(f) provide that the additional insureds will have no obligation or
responsibility for the payment of any premiums (but reserve the right to pay the
same should any of them elect to do so) and that the Insurers will waive any right
of offset or counterclaim against the respective additional insureds other than for
outstanding premiums in respect of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part;

(g) provide that, except in the case of any provision for cancellation or
automatic termination specified in the policies or endorsements thereof, the
Insurance can only be cancelled or materially altered in a manner adverse to the
additional insureds by giving at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lessor and
each Financing Party, except in the case of war risks, for which seven (7) days’
written notice (or such lesser period as is or may be customarily available in
respect thereof) will be given.

5 Where any provision of this Schedule 4 conflicts with the provisions of the airline
finance/lease contract Endorsements AVN67B, AVN67B (Hull War), and AVN99 (Tail Cover
Continuing Liability) adopted by the Lloyd’s Aviation Underwriter’s Association (or any
successor endorsements), Lessor agrees that the provisions of AVN67B, AVN67B (Hull War) and
AVN99 (Tail Cover Continuing Liability), respectively, or any successor endorsements will
apply to the exclusion of the provisions of this Schedule 4. For purposes of each of AVN67B,
AVN67B (Hull War), and AVN99 (Tail Cover Continuing Liability), the “Designated Contract
Party” will be Merced Capital, L.P., as servicer to Lessor.

6 All Reinsurances will:

(a) be on the same terms as the Insurances and will include the
provisions of this Schedule and at levels of not less than 100% of the insurances
required to be maintained hereunder;

(b) provide that, notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency,


liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings of or affecting the reinsured, the
reinsurers’ liability will be to make such payment as would have fallen due under
the relevant policy of reinsurance if the reinsured had (immediately before such
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings) discharged
its obligations in full under the original insurance policies in respect of which the
then relevant policy of reinsurance has been effected; and

(c) contain a “cut-through” clause in the following form (or such other
form as is reasonably satisfactory to Lessor):

“The Reinsurers and the Reinsured hereby agree that in the event of any
valid claim arising hereunder, the Reinsurers shall in lieu of payment to the
Reinsured, its successors in interest and assigns pay to the party(ies) identified as
Contract Party(ies) under the original insurance effected by the Insured that
portion of any loss due for which the Reinsurers would otherwise be liable to pay
the Reinsured (subject to proof of loss), it being understood and agreed that any
such payment by the Reinsurers shall fully discharge and release the Reinsurers
from any and all further liability in connection therewith.

To provide for payment to be made notwithstanding (a) any bankruptcy,


insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of the Reinsured, and/or (b) that the
Reinsured has made no payment under the original insurances.

The Reinsurers reserve the right to set off against any claim payable under
the Reinsurance policy in accordance with this Clause any outstanding premiums
(applicable to the Equipment involved in the Loss) covered by the original
insurance. Such set off shall first be applied to any financial interest of the
Insured in the Equipment involved.

If Reinsurers exercise their right to set off any outstanding premium, upon
subsequent receipt by Reinsurers of such outstanding premium, Reinsurers hereby
agree to refund the set off premium to the Contract Part(ies).

Any payment due under this Clause shall not contravene any law, statute
or decree of the State of Organization.”

7 For insurance coverage that includes the AVN67B endorsement (or the
substantive equivalent), the Contract Parties and Additional Insureds (their addressees) and the
Contracts that should be identified in the insurance/reinsurance certificates are set forth in the
Notice and Acknowledgment.
