All wiring installed by LESSEE in connection with the installation of the TCAS and windshear detection systems shall remain in the Aircraft and shall be deemed the property of LESSOR. In the event the FAA requires LESSEE to comply with the Stage III noise regulations set forth in FAR Part 36 and LESSEE cannot obtain an exemption or deferment for complying, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, LESSOR will, upon the request of LESSEE, provide financing to LESSEE for the acquisition of a shipset of Stage III hushkits suitable for installation on the Aircraft or, at LESSOR's election, provide such hushkits to LESSEE. Should LESSOR provide financing or the hushkits to LESSEE as contemplated in the preceding sentence, the Basic Rent will be adjusted upward so as to fully amortize the financing or the cost of the hushkits over the remaining term of the Lease based on the amount of the financing or the cost of the hushkits, as the case may be, and the prevailing interest rates applicable to an entity with the credit of LESSEE at such time. In the event LESSEE is required to install hushkits during the last twelve (12) months of the Base Term in order to meet Stage III noise regulations, LESSEE shall have the option of either (i) retaining the hushkits at the end of the Base Term (provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and further provided, that LESSEE restores the Aircraft to the condition that it was in prior to the installation of the hushkits), in which case LESSOR will transfer title to the hushkits to LESSEE, or (ii) extending the term of the Lease on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to LESSEE and LESSOR. In the event LESSEE exercises the option set forth in (ii), LESSEE shall send a notice to LESSOR not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the end of the Base Term and LESSOR and LESSEE shall have agreed on the terms and conditions of such extension not later than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Base Term. In the event LESSEE has exercised option (ii), above, and LESSOR and LESSEE fail to reach an agreement on the terms and conditions for the extension of the Lease with the time period set forth above, then, in such event, the Base Term will be deemed to be extended for a one (1) year period of time from the Expiration Date and all other terms and conditions of this Lease will remain unchanged, except the amount of Basic Rent which shall be equal to the greater of (x) the then current fair market rental value for the Aircraft as of the Expiration Date and (y) the amount of Basic Rent then in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Date. LESSOR shall bear no liability in respect of, or cost for, any Equipment Change, grounding of the Aircraft, suspension of certification thereof, or loss of revenue therefrom.
(i) On the Effective Date, the Engines installed on the Aircraft shall be Xxxxx & Whitney model JT8D-15 engines (the "-15's") and the Hushkits will be installed on the Aircraft. Within six (6) months of the Effective Date, LESSOR shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to LESSEE's maintenance base in Honolulu, Hawaii or to such other location designated in writing by LESSEE, two Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx model JT8D-9A engines (the "-9A's"). LESSEE shall, at its cost and expense (a) remove the -15's and the Hushkits and ship the -15's (along with all components removed in installing the -9A's) to such location as Jetz Ventures shall designate and ship the Hushkit to such location as LESSOR shall designate (in each instance, together with all records, manuals and logs relating to the -15's and the Hushkits, respectively) to a location designated by LESSOR, and (b) install the -9A's on the Aircraft. LESSEE agrees that when installing the -9A's, the mixers from the -15's will be returned to LESSOR as part of the Hushkit.

Should there be any such discrepancies, the party tendering such engines shall cause same to be corrected or propose a substitute engine that will meet the requirements of this Section.
(iii) LESSOR and LESSEE agree that the -15's shall meet the same conditions set forth in sub-paragraphs (b)-(h) of sub-section (ii) above at the time of delivery of same to Jetz Ventures; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to sub-paragraph (c) above, the -15's may be returned with zero time on the lowest limiter, but otherwise serviceable, and with respect to sub-paragraph (g) above, LESSEE's obligation is to return only those items delivered to it by LESSOR with respect to the -15's as updated by LESSEE in accordance with the Maintenance Program-and applicable FAA rules and regulations.
(iv) Simultaneously with the installation of the -9A's and the removal of the -15's and the Hushkits, (i) LESSOR and LESSEE shall execute a partial lease termination for the purpose of releasing the -15's and Hushkit from the terms of this Lease, (ii) LESSOR and LESSEE shall execute a Lease Supplement to this Lease for the purpose of subjecting the -9A's to the terms of this Lease, (iii) LESSEE shall execute and deliver to LESSOR a Delivery Receipt and Acceptance Certificate with respect to the -9A's, (iv) LESSOR shall execute a Delivery Receipt and Acceptance Certificate with respect to the Hushkit, (v) LESSOR shall cause Jetz Ventures to execute a Delivery Receipt and Acceptance Certificate with respect to the - 15's, and (vi) LESSEE and LESSOR shall execute releases and/or amendments to all UCC financing statement previously executed and filed to reflect the release of the -15's and the Hushkit and the inclusion of the -9A's. LESSOR and LESSEE agree that there shall be no reduction in the amount of Basic Rent payable by LESSEE to LESSOR as a result of the substitution of the -9A's for the -15's and the release of the Hushkits from the terms of this Lease.

Any Part not removed from the Aircraft by LESSEE as provided above prior to a Redelivery Return Occasion shall remain the property of LESSOR. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 8(C), LESSOR agrees that LESSEE may install replacement seats and galleys on the Aircraft. If the replacement seats and galleys are (i) owned by any third party and leased to LESSEE, (ii) sold to LESSEE subject to or other security interest, or (iii) lease to LESSEE pursuant to a lease which is subject to a security interest in favor of any third party, then LESSOR will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party, any right, title or interest in such seats and galleys as the result of such seats and galleys being installed in the Aircraft; provided, however (a) that LESSOR's inability to so acquire or claim is subject to the express condition that such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party shall not acquire or claim, as against LESSOR, any right, title or interest in the Aircraft, or any Part other than its interest in such seats or galleys by reason of such seats or galleys being installed thereon, and (b) that all of LESSEE's right, title and interest in and to any seats or galleys (but none of its obligations with respect thereto) not removed by LESSEE within thirty (30) days after an Event of Default shall, at such time, automatically become the property of LESSOR and subject to this Lease.

All wiring installed by LESSEE in connection with the installation of the TCAS and windshear detection systems shall remain in the Aircraft and shall be deemed the property of LESSOR. In the event the FAA requires LESSEE to comply with the Stage III noise regulations set forth in FAR Part 36 and LESSEE cannot obtain an exemption or deferment for complying, LESSOR will, upon the request of LESSEE, provide financing to LESSEE for the acquisition of a shipset of Stage III hushkits suitable for installation on the Aircraft or, at LESSOR's election, provide such hushkits to LESSEE. Should LESSOR provide financing or the hushkits to LESSEE as contemplated in the preceding sentence, the Basic Rent will be adjusted upward so as to fully amortize the financing or the cost of the hushkits over the remaining term of the Lease based on the amount of the financing or the cost of the hushkits, as the case may be, and the prevailing interest rates applicable to an entity with the credit of LESSEE at such time. In the event LESSEE is required to install hushkits during the last twelve (12) months of the Base Term in order to meet Stage III noise regulations, LESSEE shall have the option of either (i) retaining the hushkits at the end of the Base Term (provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and further provided, that LESSEE restores the Aircraft to the condition that it was in prior to the installation of the hushkits), in which case LESSOR will transfer title to the hushkits to LESSEE, or (ii) extending the term of the Lease on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to LESSEE and LESSOR. In the event LESSEE exercises the option set forth in (ii), LESSEE shall send a notice to LESSOR not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the end of the Base Term and LESSOR and LESSEE shall have agreed on the terms and conditions of such extension not later than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Base Term. In the event LESSEE has exercised option (ii), above, and LESSOR and LESSEE fail to reach an agreement on the terms and conditions for the extension of the Lease with the time period set forth above, then, in such event, the Base Term will be deemed to be extended for a one (1) year period of time from the Expiration Date and all other terms and conditions of this Lease will remain unchanged, except (i) the amount of Basic Rent which shall be equal to the greater of (x) the current fair market rental value for the Aircraft as of the Expiration Date and (y) the amount of Basic Rent then in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Date; and (ii) the Security Deposit will be increased so that the amount of the Security Deposit will at all time be equal to two month's Basic Rent. LESSOR shall bear no liability in respect of, or cost for, any Equipment Change, grounding of the Aircraft, suspension of certification thereof, or loss of revenue therefrom.
